Maybe think it over, but you probably don't if you don't think you do

[frank zealot]

10 bucks for 10 Hall Effect Switches.

You can find some that are a bit cheaper, but not until you get to "no name ali-express" switches do you get sub-50 bucks for a full keyboard worth of switches

[inland dome]

Gateron mention

I dont use hall effect or tmr, but I really like their mechanical switches

[rotund drift]

Should i just maybe get a monitor arm

[cosmic gazelle]

do some keyboards have switches that are fully attached to the mainboard

[late atlas]

Yeah that's the best option tbh, they save you some space as well

[cosmic gazelle]

because i'd switch (no pun intended) mine but i don't think they come off

[rotund drift]

Aight thanks my monitor died on me and in looking for sum new

[late atlas]

No problem, good luck

This is what I need

[civic reef]

I have a $35 Fantech board, MK890V2 to be exact
It's a red switch board, feels pretty nice tbh

The colour is great, the knob is fun to use

Tbh I'd say that something like it is the minimum sort of "mechanical gaming keyboard"

[random flame]

Well ain't that one hell of a rare bird to find out here.

[hoary hatch]

Hold up

Does that have dual drive slots

Are you telling me a HD DVD drive was not backwards compatible with DVD?

[random flame]

Naww, that's the old dvd player below it.

Though the real question would probably be if it's worth collecting for $9.95.

[livid flame]

This was a thing at one point in time. We had to have multiple disc drives and dvd players

[random flame]

True. This one's just not one of those of course.

[livid flame]

PlayStation made blu ray cheap so we didn’t really buy those for pc or separate

[random flame]

Yeah. Though still, I wonder if it's worth getting this lil' piece of history or not.

Probably not in my case, since I'd basically be unable to use it anyway realistically.

[hoary hatch]

Oh it's just 2 different players on top of each other, that makes a lot more sense

[hoary hatch]

My dad had (probably still has in the garage somewhere) a 5 disc changer

It was rad loading up a season of a tv show at once

[slim pebble]

I think the glacial and dark hero can do x8x8, they’re pretty expensive options though. I’m not all ready to buy a second $700 motherboard.

[leaden dawn]

RND is fine. If you actually improve the product and dont charge out the ass for it because of it then whatever

.. OK discord. Resend the message I sent hours ago sure.

They were like "nah they can't miss this shit"

[frank zealot]

Okay I'm curious what this actually fixes cuz....

[devout ridge]

broken trace or desoldered component

[frank zealot]

"Here, suck on way more voltage than you're designed for!"

[steel stream]

fuck I watched smth on this but I can't remember the explanation

[young void]

[frank zealot]

I could see an over-voltage incident causing some onboard ICs to do some variety of reset

[teal orbit]

If something tiny breaks internally maybe high current can fuse it back together

[frank zealot]

I don't think the super sub 1s duration of that spark could cause anything to heat up that much

...... this is very very VERY tempting.

A 420x420x450mm build volume is HUGE

[random flame]

Boi, this would've been great to have received too.

[frank zealot]

The Bartlett 12 Core chips are cool, but since they won't work on consumer boards....

Meh.

unless someone at an OEM decides to say "fuckit" and releases a new bios

going back to an upgraded Raptor Lake core seems sus, esp given the issues Raptor had

[shell void]

[frank zealot]

in a Z790? 0.o

[shell void]

yeah with a vibecoded custom bios revision

[granite dirge]

Ugh the just a moment screen is a lie I've noticed

[pure garnet]

claude bios goes hard

[frank zealot]

vibecoding is crazy

[green marsh]

well, made someone local happy, sold him a GTX960 for 25 euros plus a mostly useless 4GB DDR4-2133 module for 5 euros. Could have gained few euros more for the GPU, but then i would have to deal with shipping etc, not worth it

[steel stream]

"computer make my computer work"

[frank zealot]

right?

[green marsh]

vibecoding vs AI assisted coding ? not the same thing tho

[frank zealot]

every time I've heard about vibe coding, it's AI focused coding

Or are you about to start splitting some hairs on the difference

[shell void]

they vibecoded it, they have zero programming knowledge

it’s impressive that claude managed to make the cpu work

[low sorrel]

Actually I found it ran worse

[steel stream]

give it to claude mythos and it'll get a +50% perf boost

[green marsh]

"vibe coding" - i know nothing about the programming, and the AI tool does everything for me.

[random flame]

Lmao.

Surprised still that it worked at all.

[frank zealot]

Okay the keyboard on today's LTT is wild
Keyboard with built in LCD?

Who the fuck thinks up this nonsense?

im gonna buy it this time

iirc it was like $540 or smt

Plz just give us money, we apparently need it

[devout ridge]

Live Laugh Love shenzhen

Some of my favorite dirt cheap, barely functional electronics come from there

[frank zealot]

lets assume expensive storage, so, 13-14K tops. Still nowhere near 20k

[young void]

Facts

[steel stream]

nobody on FBM is buying a 13K PC anyways

[young void]

I at least try to be reasonable and only make like 100-200 bucks on my builds. Its not a glamorous life. But cheaper then retail

Ive had 2 sales in the last 6 months but for 5k pcs. AI peeps are hunting

Never hurts to try

And I sold them for wayyy to cheap even just rebuilding was pain nearly couldnt remake a new build due to the market price increases

[frank zealot]

who on earth is gonna hit FBM to buy a PC with a 6K USD CPU?

[frank zealot]

OH, I looked: The board is worth 1K usd give or take.

server cpu, so boards be pricey af

[young void]

Not as bad as we originally thought but still like 3-4k over what it should be

[granite dirge]

welp getting windows updates, drivers, trying to do settings, but atleaast im progressing

[civic reef]

How much should it be?

[civic reef]

$200 case? Definitely not

Probably just some $100 full tower case

[young void]

Was being very generous on pricing

[civic reef]

That's probably the price he'd sell it to you eitherway

[young void]

The ram even in this market i wouldnt do over 700 for 5600 128gb (when it was like 300$ was nice)

[frank zealot]

well under 15K

[frank zealot]

it's a server chip, I don't think anyone cares about XMP

[young void]

Only minimal differences but fair

[gloomy vault]

its very likely DDR5 ECC RDIMMS which are bloody expensive

[civic reef]

Apparently rated for 6400

[devout ridge]

need more memory bandwidth? get a chip with more channels

[livid flame]

Download more memory

[devout ridge]

Funny how that's literally an option in the datacenter space

[young void]

Virtual ram initialised

Ya know... in 10 years the idea myte not be so far fetched

[frank zealot]

ECC RDIMMS, that could easily be 3-4K

[livid flame]

It will soon go from a meme to the future and kids will never understand

[devout ridge]

Need more RAM in a machine? use your 800g fiber optic networking to suppliment using RAM from another machine

[young void]

Rent ram lol when we get 10-20gbps on all consumer grade stuff

[devout ridge]

Likely dual or quad 800g networking atp

[gloomy vault]

yea they probably are considering theyre in a supermicro x14

[devout ridge]

A single 64gb DDR5 ECC RDIMM is around 2kusd

[young void]

Oooofs gross

[devout ridge]

32GB ECC RDIMMs are around 1.2kusd

[gloomy vault]

in china theyre like $350 usd

[devout ridge]

Source...?

[gloomy vault]

for a 32gb stick of d5 ecc rdimm

[devout ridge]

Cause China doesn't manufacture any DDR5

let alone DDR5 RDIMMs

[gloomy vault]

my friend buys ram from local sources

then sells them to a guy in china

like a middleman thay distributes to datacenters

[devout ridge]

I wouldn't call a private contact selling ram the going price in china

[late atlas]

You gotta do what you gotta do

[devout ridge]

I don't blame em lol, i just wouldn't call that the normal price

[gloomy vault]

you could probably look up the prices on xianyu too

[pure garnet]

did anyone buy a steam controller

[gloomy vault]

yea some people still sell ddr4 ecc rdimms for $30 per 16gb stick

[steel stream]

I think @hoary hatch did

[gloomy vault]

my friend just buys all their stock

and sells them to china for like 10x the price

but obviously shipping a shit ton of ram is pretty suspicious so

[devout ridge]

Yes people have, but there's some issues with the checkout

[young void]

Just tellem its for skynet and dont specify wich one

[devout ridge]

Nothing suspicious if you're doing it legally, if you're doing it illegally you'll face massive fines

[pure garnet]

i’ve yet to see a steam event where the checkout didn’t break

[gloomy vault]

yea the biggest killer with china is the shit import tax

you gotta find ways to circumvent it

[devout ridge]

I mean they keep doing massive drops, you can't reasonably expect them to have server capacity for it normally

[young void]

Poking the fed boiis is no joke. If you pizza when youre supposed to french fry youre gonna have a bad time

[devout ridge]

Buying up server capacity for a problem that only exists for maybe 8 hours total out of an entire year isn't a great financial decision

[gloomy vault]

if youre government backed who gives a shit ngl

[pure garnet]

yeah i just auto assume nothing valve made will work for the first day or so

[devout ridge]

We're talking about the steam server issues btw, not the ram thing

[gloomy vault]

[late atlas]

That's not bad in terms of how many places there are

[devout ridge]

True, 193 nations recognized by the UN

[young void]

I was just thinking how clean most areas are (ofc im sure they got slums same as anywhere)

[late atlas]

Yeah there are but I think nowhere near as many or are as big as other places

[slim pebble]

Wait, I thought CMXT was making some ICs.

https://www.techspot.com/review/3089-ddr5-made-in-china/

[devout ridge]

Biggest issue with Japan is their work culture

[late atlas]

You're late by 5 minutes? No pay for the entire day

And you must work extra to make up for it

[devout ridge]

Oh i thought they only produced DDR4, seems i was mistaken

[devout ridge]

more like "oh you aren't 3 hours early? SHAME ON YOUR ENTIRE BLOODLINE"

[young void]

Well before ww2 they where a labor country wich kinda causes them to flourish long term kinda like china/india

[slim pebble]

Aussies can buy it, to my knowledge Chinese DDR5 isn’t in the states yet

[late atlas]

https://tenor.com/view/poor-mickey-mouse-hungry-stingy-bread-gif-9901581622881273038

[young void]

You make enough goods to export bound to make a few bucks

[devout ridge]

"Oh you didn't stay late by 6 additional hours ontop of your 10 hour shift because you wanted to see your family? SHAME ON YOU"

Japanese work culture is horrible

[late atlas]

Yeah it's quite bad

[late atlas]

To say they're hard workers because of it, would be an understatement and they're more like abused workers tbh

I don't know if that's something that'll change

Culture is very strong in Japan

[devout ridge]

They work hard because that's the societal expectation, to act otherwise would be seen as shameful, and the japanese are very prideful

[late atlas]

Yeaaah

[devout ridge]

It being a cultural issue makes it far harder to fix

[young void]

To be fair their older generations have a valid reason to feel that way they had aloooot of work and rebuilding from hiroshima

https://tenor.com/view/grave-of-the-fireflies-seita-and-setsuko-anime-siblings-brother-gif-8982379940567123197

[devout ridge]

Yeah, the Japanese also suffered quite a lot of casualties from WW2

The US firebombing them constantly didn't help

[young void]

It was tough and the culture im sure was shell shocked takes a long time to recover

[devout ridge]

Their entire government basically had to be reformed as well

[frank zealot]

Why do most japanese cities look so modern?

Well, they had to be rebuilt from the ground up after 1950, so... That really helps

[green marsh]

@topaz veldt when you configure a small MoE model correctly at expense of maybe making mistakes once in a while, with a 16GB VRAM GPU

[hoary hatch]

Yeah I caved

I still think it's $20 too expensive

However, I ordered anyways

I don't see any shipping estimates. Could be 3 days could be 3 weeks

[steel stream]

the reason why Steam Deck 2 is taking so long is because we won't ever see a Steam Deck 3 so they are delaying it as long as possible

[leaden fable]

I don't see them getting stock all that soon if it's anything like steam deck launch

[frank zealot]

[frank zealot]

you don't say, there's no way that's correlated

[devout ridge]

[frank zealot]

100% coincidental

[devout ridge]

I used to get 400mbps down, now i'm getting almost 600

[late atlas]

If it's anything like the steam deck prob gunna take a while before more stock

Anyone that buys any scalped goods are the problem

[hoary hatch]

If you weren't ready to buy it at 10:00am PDT, then you don't deserve a steam controller tbh

[pure garnet]

i don’t disagree but in this case especially there’s a ton of alternative controllers

[frail beacon]

I don't think the steam controller is worth it for $100, and people are buying that for $300?

[devout ridge]

Same type of person to buy tickets for well above market price just to say they went

they don't actually care about the controller, they just want to be included

[leaden fable]

How is it not worth 100 it's a pro controller

[leaden fable]

It's cheaper than other pro controllers

[pure garnet]

because the market includes more than sony and microsoft

[wise bear]

nani

[pure garnet]

the 8bitdo ultimate 2 includes every feature (including steam input) besides the trackpads for $40 less

[leaden fable]

It doesn't have 4 programmable back buttons or gyro

[frail beacon]

There's a lot of controllers out there that are cheaper than that, and also work with any game launcher/ other games, instead of restricting it to steam.

[pure garnet]

it does have gyro

[hoary hatch]

Just to flex on Damocles

[steel stream]

you get steam points for it too?

[hoary hatch]

Any steam purchase gets points afaik

[leaden fable]

Either way having track pads and 4 programmable back buttons

[pure garnet]

but not even just 8bitdo, theres a shitton of controllers that offer similar featuresets for below the price of the steam controller

[devout ridge]

It's a list

[green marsh]

probably not. i am not using the Qwen3.6-35B-A3B, i just wanted to test what numbers would it throw at me. Big thing i found for MoE is llama-fit-params utility. You give it same base input parameters you would give to llama-server, and it will give you extra params to fit as much as it can to GPU, while offloading only parts which do not hurt the performance

You were using multiple tabs for youtube, right?

[viral iron]

i bought the stream controller for $5000.

[steel stream]

moron

[random flame]

And with no ad blockers on too?

[hoary hatch]

His justification is steam controller is all he wants for his birthday

Like okay bud sure go spend $300 on a $100 controller that should be $70

[steel stream]

I've wanted stuff for my birthday too, I just don't pay 3X for it

[hoary hatch]

I don't even celebrate my birthday

this isn't ramen 😛

just because it's in r/ramen doesn't mean it's actually ramen 😛

you ever send an email, get ignored for 6 days, send a follow up email, then they tell you to go email someone else cause you have the wrong department?

[late atlas]

No no, neither do I, just found it funny

[late atlas]

Yeah, it's aggravating

[steel stream]

yes many times

[devout ridge]

Like wtf, just tell me that to begin with!

[late atlas]

I like automated replies that give clear information about when, who, where

[devout ridge]

YES!

[late atlas]

More of that

[devout ridge]

Especially given their support line literally told me to email that department

[late atlas]

I hate that

[devout ridge]

then that department goes and tells me i need the department of the support line i called

Like wtf, i'm literally going in circles

[late atlas]

My mum went through a very similar thing with her car insurance

[smoky orbit]

https://nzxt.com/en-intl/products/c850-gold-atx only reasonable psu with a lot of sata connectors qwq (the others are like 1000w or 1600w )

[late atlas]

After she was involved in an incident

It was a nightmare

[devout ridge]

Insurance sucks

they will do as much as they can to not payout your claim, including, but not limited to, sending you in circles for hours if not days

[late atlas]

It was basically "yeah we don't deal with that, go to X" "no go back to them and tell them it's them" "actually we need to review and restart the process, go email y"

[late atlas]

Yeah they were being difficult but she was paid out in the end

My mum is very stubborn and will fight anyone over even £1 so she's not someone to be defeated by these tactics

[devout ridge]

At least the ending was satisfactory, despite the path to get there

[smoky orbit]

(and I'm not buying a 1000w or 1600w for a nas psu)

[late atlas]

Yeah, their excuse was that the car that she was involved in a crash with, wasn't a personal car but a company car so it made things "more difficult"

[devout ridge]

you can usually buy additional cables for the PSU for more SATA power cables

[late atlas]

Do it

[devout ridge]

that's what i did, i needed more SATA power cables for my NAS, so i bought more peripheral to SATA power cables from my PSU manufacturer

[devout ridge]

Like they are right, but that doesn't justify getting the runaround

[smoky orbit]

they only psu I have that is powerful enough is from 2009 and I can't find cables for it online, also, I would need minimum 10 total sata connectors

[covert plaza]

hi guys can someone review my pc part picker list https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6RYW3R

[smoky orbit]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-no-nonono-noooo-cat-no-gif-13597132752790194338

[devout ridge]

get a 16gb 5060ti

[late atlas]

Well yeah I'm sure there's some complications but they just made it so confusing and convoluted

[covert plaza]

but thats over my budget

[late atlas]

P310 m.2 SSD, 9600x and it should fit

Altho the p310 being worse than 510 but

[devout ridge]

overspending on ram, and SSD, and mobo, C tier PSU

[late atlas]

Or do what iroh said

[smoky orbit]

the minimum psus are 750 but that would be too tight with a 1080 (will be upgraded to a 2080s soon), 980, 1030 and a 5500 (gonna be upgraded to at least a 5950x or an epyc cpu)

[devout ridge]

a 1080 is 180w lol, a 2080 is 215w

that leaves at least 500w for everything else

an HDD consumes like 5-10w

[smoky orbit]

woups, the 980 will be upgraded to a 2080 super, not the 1080, and the minimum epyc cpu I'm looking at is 155watts

[devout ridge]

what EPYC chip?

also the 2080S is still only 250W

[smoky orbit]

7452

[covert plaza]

my budget is 1900$ so what should i change im a bit new to pc building so idk that much

[smoky orbit]

indeed

[devout ridge]

that's still more than 300w of extra power, including CPU power draw

[smoky orbit]

(let's immagine it's the worst case scenario and they draw 10w each) that means 10x10 so 100 watts, which leaves me 300, quite enough to upgrade the 1030 and 1080

so yeah I'll look at 750w psu

[devout ridge]

C tier PSU

[smoky orbit]

woups, forgor to check the list

[sharp heart]

dual booting into cachyos makes me hate windows even more

[cosmic gazelle]

it’s not bad people use that specific one all the time because it’s cheap

i wouldn’t worry about it unless you’re gonna be pushing over 600 watts combined

[smoky orbit]

it's on sale

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah it’s fine i use a 2021 cx750m bronze psu for my system that uses like 600~ watts

so that’d be my second choice if i was going for cheap

[smoky orbit]

so that why, but I'll try to get one that I can get sata cables in a cheaper way than cablemod custom configurator

[topaz veldt]

hundreds and hundreds of these have landed

[smoky orbit]

big lack of the dozen of estrogen bottle lying around

[pure garnet]

this gotta be like sp110 or something

[wise bear]

But I do

[smoky orbit]

ohhhhh niiicey

[pure garnet]

can i have a few

[wise bear]

they're all used

like that's a years worth of estrogen

[pure garnet]

soon as i find a job in columbus i can start hrt

[smoky orbit]

I would also love to get a few but I'm so scared of needles (I'm also super hyper-sensible, which make injections hurt a ton)

[wise bear]

ngl w/o insurance this is like $1600 of estrogen

[smoky orbit]

[late atlas]

That's half of a 5090

[wise bear]

also deadass the needle feels like a very localized pinch

[smoky orbit]

lucky

[late atlas]

5090 or estrogen pills, truly a debate of the decades

[wise bear]

18ga for draw-up, 23ga for IM injection

[smoky orbit]

estrogen

[wise bear]

estrogen tbh

[pallid marsh]

5090

[late atlas]

Imagine all the estrogen pills you can render with a 5090

See, coopa is on my side

[smoky orbit]

yeah, but not irl

[wise bear]

imagine 3d printing estrogen

[late atlas]

Maybe one day

In like 2109

[smoky orbit]

[late atlas]

Would make overdoses very easy

[floral spear]

I dont need to imagine

[wise bear]

anyways the needle honestly doesnt suck, and they teach you on how to be sterile and where to inject

[smoky orbit]

nah, my body is like sponge, can't overdose from estrogen

[smoky orbit]

pills for me it's gonna be

[pallid marsh]

The cure is to be injected with dozens of iv tubes

[smoky orbit]

nuuuuuuu >.<

5090 is the clear winner

[inland dome]

I would wonder if maybe there's an instruction set theyre using or that the older gpu is better at than kcd1's engines

On my 5070ti I personally get noticeably worse fps on kcd1, but I am actually cpu bottlenecked with a 7600x in that game alone if memory serves

I think it could very well just be that kcd1 is more strenuous on the cpu, and doesn't use the gpu as much, whereas they fixed the cpu utilization in kcd2 but they have you rendering more complex scenery so it comes out being harder on the gpu

But Im not sure whether or not I was using 99% of my gpu or not in kcd1, I remember a whole search string

One thing is could have been was that 50 series cards don't (didn't) do 32 bit physx that well, but since that was kinda fixed on both ends afaik maybe itll run significantly better now

[turbid locust]

5090 three times

[late atlas]

I'm glad we're on the same page

[turbid locust]

the west coast essentials

[inland dome]

Im pretty sure thats what I decided the issue was, since my RX580 and R5 2600 were handling KCD1 very similarly to how my 5070ti and 7600x handled it, which definitely shouldn't be the case

It was within like 25 or so frames

[topaz veldt]

uh

Oh hockey

[devout ridge]

That's because you don't me - I am excited every day

[low sorrel]

Are the Canucks out of the Stanley Cup yet

[late atlas]

It's good to be, stay childish and stay happy

[topaz veldt]

Took the fam out for dinner, got home, cut the grass, and made it inside for the hockey game

[low sorrel]

Are the flyers any good

I only watch hockey for the Canucks ngl

Sometimes the Oilers

[low sorrel]

You're a great dad

[low sorrel]

So are they gonna win the Stanley Cup or what

[topaz veldt]

better chance than cannucks

[smoky orbit]

not gonna comment cause I don't wanna loose friendships

[low sorrel]

Can we revert to the team that almost beat the Oilers?

[brisk jolt]

@trim agate hey twin can you get me a 5m ethernet cable instead

[trim agate]

Damn you going full wired?

[brisk jolt]

im grabbing a hb710 later

[trim agate]

Oh

What’s the 5m cable for then if you have a hb710

[brisk jolt]

to connect it to da pc

[trim agate]

5m is ridiculous but sure

Can I just like give you $10 or something LOL

[brisk jolt]

💀

[trim agate]

Do you accept paynow

[brisk jolt]

ok but hear me out it’ll be next to the door and my pc is on the exactly opposite side

[trim agate]

😭 alright man

If it fits your needs then sure

Just order like a shitty cat 6A cable

You can even make do with 5E but it’s whatever honestly

They’re like $5

[brisk jolt]

mfw the cat 7 cable which is for some reason also 10gbps is cheaper than the cat6a

ion expect 10gbps from the wireless backhaul but still

[trim agate]

Ignore the 10Gbps branding stuff

At 5 metres it doesn’t really matter tbh but to play on the safe side get a Cat6A and above

[low sorrel]

@topaz veldt who's gonna win the habs or tampa

[south shuttle]

look at copper wire thickness and twisting

[low sorrel]

I say habs in 7

[south shuttle]

get like thick wired cat 5e cable for short distances that aren’t noisy

[smoky orbit]

we already won

in 7

[shell void]

cat5e and cat6 UTP are basically the same thing in real world applications

[low sorrel]

Sorry sabres

[low sorrel]

Typo

[shell void]

theyll both do 10Gbps up to around 100ft and both will do 100W POE

[fervent chasm]

Bigger number = better duh

Cat20

[smoky orbit]

ohhh oki

[smoky orbit]

yeah, habs will win knocks on wood

[south shuttle]

don’t get any cheap cat 6a because may be like awg 30

[shell void]

you generally dont have any reason to buy anything better than cat6 utp for a home unless you just like making your life more annoying because of the more complicated termination and necessary grounding

[south shuttle]

i mean sure at very short distances it’ll handle 10gbps

but you might as well get high quality cat 5e and achieve 10gbps

[south shuttle]

it’s nonesense marking if the manufacturer doesn’t provide real-world testing for the cable

90% of cat cables aren’t really tested

the higher the cat number the less honest manufacturers tend to be

[smoky orbit]

cat 99777eea

(trust)

[teal orbit]

twist your own cable

[brisk jolt]

@trim agate some dude i slightly dislike asked what I was doing on val yesterday
I told him I was benchmarking and he asked me “whats benchmarking” as if that isnt a word everyone in this class should know

[south shuttle]

you gotta check the thickness of the wiring, twist rate, low frequency shielding, high frequency shielding, connector quality, specific loads, etc, etc. to have an actual cat 6a+ thingy at 100m

[smoky orbit]

(that's what I do for fin sometimes, my main pc uses one)

[shell void]

i question your methods if youre running a 100 meter network cable and not using fiber anyway

[brisk jolt]

i think we should give the fridge 10gbps

[low sorrel]

Yeah and then it's gonna be habs vs flyers in the semis and habs vs ducks in the grand final right

[topaz veldt]

Shed fiber

[south shuttle]

it can be cheaper

[smoky orbit]

ofc

[trim agate]

Yo why are you on val bro

[brisk jolt]

i was testing ram speed fps differences

he asked me how much fps I was getting

[shell void]

optimal

[south shuttle]

i got a bargain at retail store for cat 6a awg23 with both shieldings

so i grabbed it

[trim agate]

Doesn’t matter because the human eyes can’t see past 60fps

[shell void]

you can keep your shielded cat6a cable away from me bro i despise that shit

[brisk jolt]

dude was immediately blown back when I only said “1 thousand”

the other guy also got blown back

laptop issue kek

these peasants are limited to 165hz and 165fps HEHEHEHEHEHE

[trim agate]

There’s cat5e all over my house in the walls and I get 10gbps with every single one of them

[shell void]

i believe it

[trim agate]

Heh I’m on 170hz

[brisk jolt]

why are there cats with 5e spec in ur walls

[trim agate]

I don’t have enough 10g switches or devices to utilise it, but at least I know if ever want them around then it’s an option

[trim agate]

5e cats are pretty cute

[south shuttle]

human eyes and brain process light in a gradual noisy way rather than fps, and you can see 60hz being stuttery even without a monitor

[brisk jolt]

i got the doomscrolling spec cat

[trim agate]

Nah the human eye can only see 60fps

[smoky orbit]

kittie

[south shuttle]

drink a coffee, go to a 60hz light and start moving your hand and look at that

[trim agate]

Where do I find a 60hz light

[south shuttle]

house

[smoky orbit]

saw that iroh x3

[devout ridge]

i am going to instill 8e53j of force into your cranium

[trim agate]

Ok I’ll do the eye test later

[dense granite]

Lol

[trim agate]

Is this over 60fps? Because that isn’t optimal and it’s wasted performance

[brisk jolt]

you need the prototype virus

[devout ridge]

make it 8e54j

[brisk jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/wesker-no-wesker-no-no-albert-wesker-resident-evil-dead-by-daylight-gif-26437163

[south shuttle]

i think the best you see the stutter when you don’t focus on the hand

[trim agate]

I don’t know what these numbers and letters are about but as long as we don’t waste the performance I’ll be happy

[low sorrel]

Oh yeah I'm going to do (8e54)^2J

[dense granite]

Elite ball knowledge.

[devout ridge]

8x10^54j

equivalent to roughly 1.9 tons of TNT

[south shuttle]

also even if your eyes would be refreshing at 30-70hz you could still see stutters as your eyes aren’t really in-sync with the monitor

[shell void]

this is the best E26 LED light bulb btw https://www.amazon.com/sunsy-Shine-Full-Spectrum-Flicker-Free-Circadian/dp/B0DM4BJXXS/

Megatons no?

[devout ridge]

nope, just tons

there's a lot of joules in one ton of TNT

[steel stream]

is it matter enabled?

[shell void]

megatons? reminds me of watching modded minecraft tnt videos like 10 years ago

[devout ridge]

imagine detonating 2000lbs of dynamite

that's just 1 ton of TNT

they had like multi-colored tnts, started with regular and the green nuclear one destroyed like 1000 chunks

it's not a smart bulb jit

[low sorrel]

You can't put in neutral without the pitcrew

[brisk jolt]

say wallahi bro

[vestal granite]

well ill push it in drive then bro idk

[low sorrel]

Also can't

[smoky orbit]

it's quite easy to push a 700kg trailer

[low sorrel]

There's no key

[vestal granite]

i will find a way to push it

[vestal granite]

700kg is light to push

[low sorrel]

My brother used to have a framed photo of this when we was a flight instructor

[vestal granite]

i have pushed heavier cars under worse conditions

[shell void]

ronnie coleman could push 700kg like 35 times in a row in his prime

[vestal granite]

its also a car on wheels

[teal orbit]

Just deadlift the car if its not in neutral

[vestal granite]

so its not 700kg to push its like 70kg to push or something

[brisk jolt]

pull off a fernando alonso bro

[teal orbit]

Emphasis on the dead part

What did Fernando Alonso do

[smoky orbit]

not that much it's easy, but not that easy

[low sorrel]

Wouldn't the insane grip of the tires be less then helpful

[brisk jolt]

the AI memes of him running on track

[vestal granite]

i can fix the grip on the tires

[teal orbit]

Is he fast at running

[south shuttle]

cat 99999Xtreme 9+ max better

[vestal granite]

ill bring vinyl and wrap the tires

[smoky orbit]

ohhh yes, forgor that one, it just came out;

[shell void]

XD

[south shuttle]

1gb of ddr6 will cost $999

[brisk jolt]

ddr6 launch price leaked to be $69420 for 32gb

[south shuttle]

i win a million from everyone here if it comes true

but i also lose a billion if i lose

2027 betting be like

i feel like they should teach more in school about the risks and math behind hazard

and that trying it is not worth it

[pure garnet]

may grab a 7950x3d

[wraith steeple]

[floral spear]

I bought a replacement antenna since Im putting my thing under my desk

[merry stirrup]

gave the 5070ti an undervolt, we'll see if this is stable

[shell void]

brotha eugh

[floral spear]

ok so it turns out all I needed to do was to put my wifi antenna on the monitor

[brisk jolt]

and not a 9950x3d smh

[fervent chasm]

should be wired

i found something cool recently, you can actually run some fiber cables around the house and theyre not visible because theyre white

[floral spear]

?

[fervent chasm]

should be running wired instead of wireless

[pure garnet]

double the price at not double the performance

[devout ridge]

almost exactly 1x the performance in gaming

[fervent chasm]

theyre really the same performance? thats sad

[devout ridge]

the benefit is having a second 8c ccd

[fervent chasm]

what number comes after 9950X3D2 for next gen?

[devout ridge]

11950x3d

[brisk jolt]

[fervent chasm]

boring

[teal orbit]

Ultra 900 AI3D

[fervent chasm]

Mega 9 AI3D2

[shell void]

im expecting them to rebrand their desktop processors to match their laptop processors next gen

i think Ryzen AI 7 580X3D is more likely than Ryzen 7 11800X3D

[pure garnet]

used 7950x3d is like 350-380 on ebay rn

[shell void]

it also gives them an opportunity to name their processors +100 over intel (Nova Lake is Core Ultra 400-series) which they love to do

[nocturne jacinth]

Dell 16, Ryzen 250

[topaz veldt]

why you hawkin 7950X3D?

[pure garnet]

want more multi

[low sorrel]

why are migraines so annoying

[floral spear]

alr its going well now

[topaz veldt]

9950X3D only $500 2nd hand

[sharp heart]

nono you see, you have to buy the latest and greatest

nothing else matters

[merry stirrup]

it’s fun to make jokes

but i wouldn’t buy a cpu that you can’t change the ratio on

[pure garnet]

i just want my nav meshes to not take 20 min

[shell void]

i think one of us needs a $250 delidded 14900K https://www.ebay.com/itm/377093152114

[sharp heart]

nothing fun in my chungus life

[merry stirrup]

its you. run 59 1.38v

[shell void]

i havent seen one of those CR360 DDs pop up on eBay in a very long time

i think the last one was like $750

[shell void]

i think you mean 6.2 allcore with HT disabled

[merry stirrup]

idk thats a lot of heat

depending on sample it would probably upwards of 1.45v

[cosmic gazelle]

would this produce better gaming framerates than a stock 270kp setup i wonder

[merry stirrup]

yes

[cosmic gazelle]

i would think so yeah

[merry stirrup]

i either ran 58 or 59 on my 13900KS and it is a very tough cpu to beat if you dont have cache

[cosmic gazelle]

doesn’t stock 14 beat 5800x3d

[merry stirrup]

probably, 13=14th

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah i can’t keep track i stopped paying attention once all the normies switched to zen 2

myself included

[merry stirrup]

5070ti undervolt seems good

240w

should give the ramm considerably less heat to deal with

[topaz veldt]

@low sorrel https://www.thedrive.com/news/fia-president-shares-first-tech-details-of-f1s-new-v8-engines-its-a-no-brainer

[cosmic gazelle]

do we know what an undervolted 5060 ti consumes

[merry stirrup]

not a lot

probably sub 200w

well like 150

[cosmic gazelle]

i wonder what a 5050 would do if you somehow configured it to only consume slot power lol

[merry stirrup]

i think theyre 200w normally

dont remember what ive seen at work

[pure garnet]

also realistically is +200 acomplishing anything

[merry stirrup]

not on 7000 x3d

[frank cypress]

oh wtf, they're back to v8s?

[pure garnet]

like if the 9950x3d is actually like worth it i don't mind looking at that

[merry stirrup]

it does nothing, it slowed the cpu down in my tests

[pure garnet]

but to me i don't really see a ton of difference between the 2

[merry stirrup]

my 7900x3d results are done with +0 clock and only co

[frank cypress]

wild

[topaz veldt]

thankfully

[frank cypress]

super cool tbh

[merry stirrup]

something like -60 on the worst core

(you can override the limit through software + bios)

[pure garnet]

-60?

[merry stirrup]

yeah a 14 second yc bench isnt that hard to run

[cosmic gazelle]

doesn’t +200 matter in gaming because it’s more lightly threaded and doesn’t thermally saturate the cpu so it can sustain those clocks? that’s what my 98 does

[pure garnet]

i wish my 7800x3d did that

[merry stirrup]

yeah

cores man cores

[cosmic gazelle]

buy an epyc 7945 or whatever that things called 192 cores

[pure garnet]

i honestly haven’t seen a lick of difference between 7800x3d stock, 9800x3d, or 9800x3d+200 irl

[cosmic gazelle]

in gaming yeah i would assume it’d be about the same lol

[merry stirrup]

it doesnt work on 7000 x3d

[cosmic gazelle]

oh weird

[merry stirrup]

clock doesnt change

at least on early-ish bioses, my 7900x3d time was long ago

[cosmic gazelle]

i have mine on +100 because my cooling setup only manages around 5100 during r23

so it feels kinda pointless

[pure garnet]

if i give up my 9800x3d to newegg i can buy a 9950x3d for $320 new

but no guarantee i get a comparable iod back

[topaz veldt]

there ya go

[merry stirrup]

worth you get warranty

[cosmic gazelle]

how much are they giving you for it

[merry stirrup]

just bezos bin it

[topaz veldt]

oh do what I do

[shell void]

i think you need a 9950X3D2

[topaz veldt]

buy 3 $900 CPUs and they all suck

[pure garnet]

no i do not

[merry stirrup]

i told you man

[pure garnet]

i just want a 9950x3d that does 6400 1:1

[sharp heart]

just get a threadripper

[merry stirrup]

snail do a trade to yoko

[cosmic gazelle]

kyoko don’t you game at 4k on a 70 ti why wouldn’t a 9950x work

is that pocket watching

[merry stirrup]

poor person cpu

[pure garnet]

because the x3d makes more difference than benchmarks show in xiv

265k vs 98003d is like a 30fps diff in xiv

when it's busy

[merry stirrup]

ram temps w/out ram bench in the background and just gpu

[cosmic gazelle]

at least you actually have a justification, i game at 1440p on a 3080 with a 9800 so

[shell void]

heck yes

[cosmic gazelle]

wait you could literally bios mod it to run on slot power that’s awesome

(i don’t know if you could do that)

but it would still be cool

[shell void]

the RTX 5070 Mobile edition is essentially a slot powered 5060Ti, it has the same core config

[merry stirrup]

just do a shunt mod but the other way and bridge the connection to ground so it thinks its plugged in all the time

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah that’d be awesome for like a portable power supply build

i wonder if any other gpu would perform better with the same watts

5090 prob

[shell void]

i had my GTX 1070 undervolted to ~75W under load most of the time

[merry stirrup]

240w on the 5070ti is nice

[shell void]

and it was on a 360mm radiator so it ran at like 34c under load Xd

[merry stirrup]

860mv 2800mhz +2500 mem

[cosmic gazelle]

i wonder if the 75w 5060 ti would perform that much worse than my 400w vbios 3080

probably worse but probably not by much

[pure garnet]

that's just my stock on master vbios usually

[merry stirrup]

really?

[pure garnet]

yeah

[merry stirrup]

how mane

[pure garnet]

my game probably doesn't load the card as hard

[merry stirrup]

yeah ig true

[brisk jolt]

140w 950mv

[shell void]

a ~2000MHz slot powered 5060Ti would be similar in performance to a 5050

quite a bit slower than your 3080

[merry stirrup]

ive been playing skyrim recently and i use a really stupid low power config for it

[pure garnet]

i sit usually at 2910ish 244w 1.025v

[cosmic gazelle]

oh is that better than the a4000 or whatever the best low profile pro card is

[pure garnet]

stock everything

[merry stirrup]

like 2.2ghz and 60-100w for skyrim

[pure garnet]

tried uving and it crashed in fort so i gave up

[merry stirrup]

cray

[cosmic gazelle]

seems like the architecture can only do so much with that amount of power lol

[shell void]

the best slot powered card is the RTX Pro 4000 SFF Blackwell which is closest in core config to the 5070Ti

but with that 75W limitation it's only similarly powerful to the 5060

[cosmic gazelle]

only about 10% faster than the 4000 ada

but probably like 4 times the price of a 5060 ti so much better value at the same power draw

[turbid locust]

you should EVC it and force it to lower voltage

extreme efficiency

[analog scroll]

hmmm

[thick frost]

Only the top tier ram for my craptop

[floral spear]

How do you guys feel about this fella?

[topaz veldt]

I just realized the memory kit I now have extra, 2x24GB 6000 CL26... is like... $800+

[young void]

Its a controller yiss

[topaz veldt]

Should I sell or hang on

[young void]

If just laying around certainly sell

[topaz veldt]

This but in black

[young void]

Full sends

[topaz veldt]

I know I would regre it

[wraith steeple]

[brisk jolt]

i’d hold on

[topaz veldt]

leaning that way

[brisk jolt]

in case you get an itch somewhere

[young void]

Why would you need them?

[topaz veldt]

I dunno, if I build another thing

[brisk jolt]

exactly the itch i was referring to

[topaz veldt]

and 6000 CL26 is like impossible to find

[young void]

When that time comes itll be 8000-10000 cl 30 sticks
