that’s like how many dollars, with a B right?

past a billion the specific amount doesn’t matter because i cannot fathom that

[steel stream]

$400 million per machine I think

[merry stirrup]

DAMN yeah i think the couple milli here gets gapped

[steel stream]

that's just what the google AI says

[young void]

I gotta find one of these

[devout ridge]

i had 3 hours on stage with no one else in the room, i got so much done not having to deal with other people's bullshit

[late atlas]

So much cooling potential

[steel stream]

what's the name of this? it looks pretty cool

[merry stirrup]

pull up

[devout ridge]

MBP finally shipped, should be here by may 14th

[young void]

Send me the details if within 40 minutes of Salem can probs run it

[steel stream]

thanks boss I appreciate it

[devout ridge]

you can have my MBA dbrand skin if you want

close enough to a MBP anyways

[steel stream]

yeah I guess that'll work

Will it fit a 16" XPS or nah

[devout ridge]

100%

[steel stream]

sweet

[devout ridge]

i guess more like 80%, since it's gonna be 80% coverage

[merry stirrup]

how close is eugene?

[young void]

About an hour to 70 minutes

But if i move closer forsuresss

Although only paying 1358 for a 3 bed is pretty unbeatable rn

[devout ridge]

you can't fire workers for joining a union, even if it's an at will state

@cosmic gazelle Buying a Ryzen 3 Pro 2200G from a Lenovo system with an A300 board to OC my 2400 CL14 sticks to 2666 CL22 since APUs are best for RAM OCs

[trim agate]

what are you getting out of it

[cosmic gazelle]

so, zen 1 apus are not that good at ram oc because the imc sucks. with that said i got 3400 stable on my 2400g and 3000 stable on 1.2vdimm

the 2200g is not a very powerful processor so be aware of that

on par with an ivy bridge i5 roughly

This is 1000% accurate.

[low sorrel]

What's someone who owned both

[merry stirrup]

people like us who simply buy devices that fit our needs

[steel stream]

nah I dont think so

[low sorrel]

You should play

You can unironically start with 2

But then if you go back and play one you will notice how much more jank it is

[steel stream]

the next game on my list is Saros

will keep KCD in mind though

[low sorrel]

What if I buy you it

[low sorrel]

Play hardcore mode if your not a chump

[steel stream]

i am a chump

It actually adds alot to the experience

it should be fun

they wanted me to build pcs and i basically just respectfully declined because i don’t see anywhere up as a builder

[brisk jolt]

the same over wifi, ethernet cable is too short for me to put by the door and its further away hence when I tried it was only doing 600

[trim agate]

How’s it way better then 😭

[merry stirrup]

network stability

[trim agate]

Yes but he wouldn’t know that

There’s like 0 elaboration of what better means

[shell void]

modern mesh wifi is pretty good if you get a quad band wifi 7 system, the wireless link between the satellites can be 5Gbps+ because itll use MLO

theyre pricey tho and you should try to wire everything that you can

[brisk jolt]

for mobile devices

if the ap is nearer to the door even on wifi my pc gets the same speed as compared to my table

[topaz veldt]

should I try another 9950X3D2

or just call it for this gen

[brisk jolt]

id call it for this gen

i wouldnt wanna be disappointed for the 4th time by amd even if its an alright sample

It bothers some who ask, but as long as the screen and inside aren't damaged, it's all good for me.

[trim agate]

I saw I’m happy

[shell void]

oh base M4?

not the Pro?

[topaz veldt]

No pro - wanted battery life

[shell void]

how's the battery life and fan noise?

[topaz veldt]

silent and long battery

[shell void]

i think if i bought a new macbook i would get a 14" with the base M6

[trim agate]

Do the pro chips have longer battery life?

[brisk jolt]

not to mention they’re the gskill ones with good bins

[topaz veldt]

no

[shell void]

the GPU in the chip is good enough nowadays

[topaz veldt]

pro is shorter battery

[trim agate]

Ah I see

[shell void]

16" with the base model pro cpu has the longest battery life because it has a larger battery

[trim agate]

I’m holding off on anything memory related until ddr6

[shell void]

you can't get a base M chip in a 16"

but the 16" model is pretty heavy i will admit

[topaz veldt]

and 16" is big af for my life

[trim agate]

Ah dang yeah im not looking at the 16” ones

[topaz veldt]

My M3 Max is 16"

[trim agate]

Too big & heavy for my interests, I found the size and weight of my G14 to be really nice

[brisk jolt]

im gonna hold off until novalake before buying its memory

[bright lake]

Is one large sheet of ptm7950 enough to redo both a cpu and a 7900xtx, do you think?

[shell void]

for most people the 14" with the base M chip is the practical option

[trim agate]

I’m probably good on my cpu for the next couple of years

[shell void]

14" with Pro if you want the extra CPU performance, and 16" with Max if you need GPU

[trim agate]

Unless i swap out my 7800x3d for the 9800x3d

But I’m too lazy to move it around

[brisk jolt]

not even a worth upgrade

[bright lake]

9850x3d, then,

[trim agate]

I have both chips I just cba to move

[brisk jolt]

you’re still getting a shitty 8c config

[shell void]

i love the classic apple silver

[trim agate]

+1

[shell void]

my 16" M1 Pro is silver as well

[topaz veldt]

eh - I prefer the black

[shell void]

i havent seen the new space black in person

[topaz veldt]

its nice

[trim agate]

The black looks nice but I don’t wanna give up on the classic macbook silver

[topaz veldt]

and i have the ltt dbrand circuit wrap

[trim agate]

Fingerprint heavy unfortunately

[wraith steeple]

I'm also leaning towards black

[shell void]

i think 14" black could be sleek, but there's something powerful about the 16" in silver

[topaz veldt]

not mine

[trim agate]

Lucky batch

Recommended my mom the 13” MBA in black and that thing gets covered in fingerprints so easily

Kinda feel bad that I suggested the black 😭

[shell void]

get ready for smudged macbook screens everywhere once the M6 model with a touchscreen tandem oled comes out

[shell void]

[trim agate]

You think the oled will be limited to the m6 pro models and up only?

[merry stirrup]

ray cism

[shell void]

from what i know it's only coming out in a premium model

potentially a new sku

[trim agate]

[shell void]

people are saying Macbook Ultra

[brisk jolt]

yeah my next laptop i want a silver one on intel 14a xd

[shell void]

but there will be a base M6 chip option if that's what you mean

[topaz veldt]

I feel bad w/ my Mac Mini

I basically never use it

[shell void]

M6 is coming out before M6 Pro and M6 Max

[trim agate]

Yeah im holding off on getting a MacBook till there’s oled, but if it’s only in an “ultra” variant then I’m gonna shit myself

[shell void]

gotta wait for N2 yields to improve before significant ramp

[trim agate]

I don’t mind getting an M6 Pro if it has oled, but nothing past that

[shell void]

Mac Mini and Mac Studio are getting updated to M5 after WWDC which is next month

[trim agate]

Apple has the keys to everything rn

[topaz veldt]

Work used to only buy the Max CPUs

now they are on M5 Pros

I got some pull - I am going to get myself an M6 Max when they're out

heres the full offer from gamestop ceo to ebay's chairman btw

I like the fans on top of the fat boy rads, so they clear the walls, that's a good touch.

They should have painted the frams tho

[brisk jolt]

the agenda has changed then

the target now is a 14a xe3 igpu laptop

I have to confess

all this Xe3 Xe3p

I don't follow it - have almost no idea wtf it is

[brisk jolt]

celestial

[gloomy vault]

i feel like its something to do with intel

[topaz veldt]

@slim pebble You decide if you're joining the dark side?

[frank zealot]

Xe3 = Celestial ARC graphics

[slim pebble]

Thinking about it. The Hero I have is having problems.

[topaz veldt]

again?

[frank zealot]

Xe = Alchemist
Xe2 = Battlemage

[slim pebble]

ASUS had replaced the socket on it when it was RMA'ed, and the polymo lighting is out on part of it.

[topaz veldt]

dafuq

[brisk jolt]

oof

[slim pebble]

I was considering a dark hero/9950X3d2 or just use my Aero z890 and buy a freaking 270K with a contact frame until NVL comes out.

[slim pebble]

@topaz veldt Not sure which way to go.

[brisk jolt]

do we know if novalake is coming out on laptops

or are we gonna wait for next gen dedicated 14a and Xe3

[slim pebble]

I thought panther was for laptops?

and NVL was the desktop sku for it

[brisk jolt]

yeah panther’s for laptops but I wonder if they’re gonna be doing any NVL version for laptops

i think on the timeline atm Im gonna be targetting 14a Xe3 laptop in 2027/2028 since Ill be getting about 1.2K discount off it again xD

[shell void]

Arc A580, A770 = Xe1

Arc B580, B770 = Xe2

Panther Lake (X9 388H) = Xe3

Arc C580/C770 (cancelled) = Xe3p

Xe4 would be Arc Druid in Desktops (D580, D770, etc), and its fate hasnt been decided yet according to Jaykihn

[topaz veldt]

is any of it actually good

[shell void]

Panther Lake is the king of power efficient X86 laptop processors right now

[brisk jolt]

Wait isnt pantherlake part of the Xe2 lineup? I find it weird Celestial is Xe3p rather than a consistent naming

[shell void]

but desktop cards are meh

[brisk jolt]

i thought panterlake was battlemage with the B in B390

[shell void]

its name is B390, but it's not technically a Battlemage GPU, and it uses the "Xe3" graphics IP

Intel's naming scheme is weird

[lunar comet]

So quick update. My 9800x3d levels out at 80-85C during gaming with the room ac off.

[brisk jolt]

fuck me

[brisk jolt]

turn off the overlay

[shell void]

"Alchemist", "Battlemage", "Celestial", and "Druid" are names for their consumer gaming oriented graphics card lineups

[brisk jolt]

yeah they’re all so nice

[lunar comet]

Wdym?

[hoary hatch]

Celestica?

CELESTICA?!

[shell void]

Xe3 is kind of like XE2.5, but it will never exist in a desktop card, and it exists in several different forms

it's weird

Xe3 exists in Intel 3nm, Intel 18A, and TSMC N3E

[brisk jolt]

so I should be saying Xe3p*

[shell void]

Celestial (C770) wouldve been Xe3p if it wasn't cancelled

[hoary hatch]

Wildcat lake has the most advanced process node GPU in the world

[hoary hatch]

Xe3 certainly was "let's take the basics of Xe2, and figure out how to apply it in more applications"
-> variable render slice size
-> node flexibility
-> I'm sure some minor enhancements

[brisk jolt]

Intel having the most confusing naming scheme versus AMD having the worst naming scheme

[shell void]

"Crescent Island" is the workstation lineup codename for Xe3p GPUs, and it uses Intel 18A from what we've seen so far

Jaykihn said there will be a workstation desktop card of sorts like the Arc Pro C70

[hoary hatch]

Oh, so that's what was on the wafers I dropped yesterday...

[brisk jolt]

ykw ill just wait for 14a as a whole that’ll prob come with a full xe3p igpu if it doesnt entirely get sacked

[shell void]

no gang WE are investing in Nova Lake

[hoary hatch]

14a isn't gonna get sacked

Neither is Nova lake

Michael

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-jim-from-krasinski-gif-13369858

[brisk jolt]

i mean laptop side

and sacked I mean the xe3p

[hoary hatch]

Michael, do you think LGA1954 will get a DDR6 release at the end?

Cause if LGA1964 is supposed to last approximately 4 generations, it will be in service when D6 hits the market

Either late gen LGA1954 CPUs will have D5 and D6 memory controllers, or Intel waits till LGA1954-next for D6

[shell void]

i do not

[floral spear]

Alright i was told to play BF1 is Bf 1 le good?

[shell void]

i think we'll see Nova Lake 2027, Razor Lake 2028, and either Hammer Lake or Razor Lake Refresh in 2029 before a new platform launches in 2030 using DDR6 and PCIE6

[hoary hatch]

It's certainly worth 2$

[shell void]

there's a lot of room left to grow in DDR5 and consumers have no use for PCIE6 yet so there's no rush

i mean the 9850X3D is the king of gaming with only 64GB/s read and 32GB/s write which is similar to dual channel DDR5 4000 and 2000 respectively

[vestal granite]

[slim pebble]

I only have one good reason to buy an X3D2.

To retire my 7950X3D in my second 5090 gaming PC.

[topaz veldt]

@slim pebble I will buy another 9950X3D2 and if it can't do 8000 I will sell you it

[slim pebble]

I’ll probably get one off Amazon TBH later this month. Assuming I don’t just go ARL for fun.

[slim pebble]

Sometimes the board fails to post. If it posts, it’s 100% fine. If it doesn’t. Well fuck me, it never did this before they replaced the socket. It happens often enough that I don’t want to deal with it anymore, once every few days

[lunar comet]

A friend told me why not try undervolting and I saw a video on yt on how to do it. So is it ok if I post a link here for fact checking? Not at all concerned with my cpu temps just ezploring stuff I can do.

whats this, kingdom come doordash?

[low sorrel]

Yeah I'm on the quest right after hunting with capon and I'm 15 hours in and I had to clear the bandit camp because I forgot my stealth gear

[lunar comet]

Hmm did I do this correctly. Undervolted my 9800x3d by -20, set the ratio to 50 and core voltage to 1.125v

Yet when 100% load stress testing in occt it still reaches 95C just like stock. Atp I dont think keeping it at 5ghz is even worth it for the same results as stock.

[low sorrel]

Why are you setting an all core clock speed and using CO

Just use curve optimizer

[brisk jolt]

all that was realistically needed is only the -20 CO

And also Ive already mentioned earlier YOU do not need to care much about temps, especially at max load because thats not a realistic scenario during gaming

[lunar comet]

Yes yes. I agree, but my goal is to at least lower down the temps I currently have by undervolting.

[brisk jolt]

do you even know what undervolting does because i dont think you seem to get it

[lunar comet]

56-60c with just browsing on a hot day is too uncomfortable to me.

[low sorrel]

Sir change your fan curves

Also it literally does not matter

Every cpu made within the past decade targets 95-100C 24/7

[brisk jolt]

thats literally expected on air cooling

you seem to not understand our explanation on AMD’s boost behaviour either

[lunar comet]

Lower power consumption?

[lunar comet]

I understand it boosts to 95C but ig i might be overthinking it again lol. Just not used to these temps with my old 10th gen i5 that just runs full load at 50C

[brisk jolt]

you are requesting the same clocks at a lower voltage which yes, lowers power consumption and in turn reduces the heat you have to dissipate- The problem here is that you cant expect insane results due to the boost behaviour and how the chip was designed.

You are also not understanding that a stress test putting the chip at 100% load does not equate to real world temps whilst gaming

[lunar comet]

I honestly expected just a 3-5 degree reduction.

[low sorrel]

With the lower power consumption tempaturw drops your cpu targets higher clock speeds because it sees there is thermal headroom which then increasing power consumption and heat

[brisk jolt]

you’re still putting it at full load, you literally wont get that result in this scenario by undervolting. The only time you would is during gaming.

quite literally stock and -30 CO at max load is 1c difference on a 360mm aio- Ive tested

[lunar comet]

So i should just prbbly keep it at stock performance if its actually designed to do that. Hell they dont lie when they said youll get more paranoid if you keep on looking at temps lol.

[brisk jolt]

just reset and apply the -20CO

and turn off the overlay

[lunar comet]

Better if i can manage -30?

[brisk jolt]

you should use corecycler because not every core is guaranteed to be stable

[lunar comet]

Also worth looking at ram fclk or not?

[lunar comet]

Noted

[brisk jolt]

no

ram tuning is very much less effective on X3D chips

[lunar comet]

Gotcha

[lunar comet]

I was just thinking. Isnt it just better to keep it at stock since itll just boost to 95 anyway?

[slim pebble]

By the glue fabric

[brisk jolt]

you get lower power consumption

They're popular because most people like them.

That's always how it goes.

[late atlas]

I sent her like 15 cases, she picked Lian li o11

Fish tank cases are just too attractive for new builders

[late atlas]

Exactly

[frank zealot]

A lot of them exist because the average builder really likes them.

NGL, I put my work PC into a fishtank, and it was a great building experience.

It's a Montech... something or other. But it's a normal fishtank, and it's perfectly cromulent as a case.

Actually theres this protocol vx6 i've been working on, It allows true peer2peer connection without port forwarding over anywhere in world , No NAT or tunnelling , And currectly im able to reach a true Decentralisation architecture , not like bitcoins or TOR where we need miners and nodes for network to be stable .. It also give better security than tor in a special feature with 5 nodes and latency is much faster than the normal internet we use .
Hello can anyone help me in SDN , A Network layer protocol i have been building for decentralisation and Tor like security and further more , I am looking for some feedback.
can i share the wiki link?

@smoky orbit most valuable box

[fervent chasm]

So WebRTC

[versed lodge]

no

Its much better

[fervent chasm]

In which way

[versed lodge]

for traffic handelling , connection management , and latency

[fervent chasm]

Is it better than tailscale?

[smoky orbit]

Do you have something like a 64gb or bigger kit of ddr4?

[late atlas]

I don't know if I have the box still but 32gb of ddr5 and 32gb of DDR4, both in use

[versed lodge]

tailscale is something similar , But heavy because they have to work on IPv4 , I work on IPv6 , and its for main decentralisation not just hosting

[smoky orbit]

Dang it

[versed lodge]

Hosting part is currently prmitive but faster, and have scope for more growth

so yes its better than tailscale. It connects localhost:3000 service to your loclhost:2000 , you will never see the servers public ports

vx6.tech is the wiki , If you wanna read in depth about this , It is opensource btw

[fervent chasm]

I was on the GitHub yah

I can't say much more about it without reading deeper, I do more stuff like this:

https://github.com/DanielChrobak/Hyper-V-GPU-Paravirtualization-Manager

that's crazy

[versed lodge]

so the webrtc part just lets you connect streaming traffic and like , VX6 allows any kind of traffic , ssh or http or anything , and all like 50 services on one server all through 1 port and no one ever gonna see anythng even with Nmap.

[versed lodge]

oh

[lunar comet]

Idk if im doing this right but im experimenting my 9800x3d undervolt. As of now im running cinebench r23 and did a multi core test in which it ran well with co -27, Should i continue decreasing or not?

I would like professional advise before i try pushing -30

[fervent chasm]

Im pretty sure you can do anything with WebRTC, it doesnt have to be browser based traffic

Its just built around browsers iirc

oh my god i accidentally doubled clicked an iso and now its mounting, i hate how windows just slows the entire pc during that

[versed lodge]

https://github.com/ethical/buddy/vx6 here have a look at this ..
well wbrtc is good but the vx6 isnt its competeters , It dosent have DHT part and also im working around secure and faster connection , wbrtc still depends on NAT on some turnarounds

[fervent chasm]

oh yah im not really comparing them together

just reminds me a little of it

Yesterday the store said that my R7 T14 G1 would arrive today

Now they're saying it's tomorrow

[lunar comet]

Update. I got my 9800x3d to a co of -36 with a boost clock of 200mhz and got a 23k+ score in cinebench r23. Still running corecycler to verify stability and will soon after use occt to stress it out for 10mins

[pure garnet]

you're gonna need way more than 10 minutes of occt

let corecycler run overnight

[lunar comet]

Ive set it to the default 6min per core

How long should it be?

[pure garnet]

the default is fine but you need to let it run continuously for awhile

[lunar comet]

Also how long of a stress test in occt. -37 got me errors in cinebench but no crashes btw

[lunar comet]

Run idle?

[pure garnet]

i wouldn't use occt at all im ngl

i would just run corecycler overnight and then if you own aida their stress test with fpu enabled also responds fast to bad co values

or aida free may include the stress tester

[lunar comet]

Wait wait how do i run corecycler overnight?

[pure garnet]

just leave the pc on

[lunar comet]

You lost me there haha.

[pure garnet]

-36 is a lot of voltage to be removing

cinebench isn't a good stability test at all

[lunar comet]

Fair

[pure garnet]

my 9800x3d has very mid cores but good imc/fabric but -15 is my daily stable all core offset, i can pass r23 at -30

i never tried any higher

[lunar comet]

I still dont get how to run corecycler overnight

[shell void]

brother if you’re getting errors in cinebench then you are nowhere even remotely near stable

you’re probably going to need to run like -15

[pure garnet]

you just let corecycler keep running

it doesn’t require any special configuration

[lunar comet]

So i should change the "running for 6 minutes"?

[pure garnet]

that’s per core so no

[lunar comet]

So i should just open corecycler and leave it at that? Not test running or anything?

[pure garnet]

start the test obviously

but it’ll just keep running 😭

[lunar comet]

Ohh so it wont stop at just 1 iteration itll just continue till i manually exit the program?

[pure garnet]

if you've only been running 1 interation you've only tested 1 core each time

but yes it'll just keep running

[lunar comet]

Yea so you meant i should leave it running iterations overnight. Bruh you couldve just said that it continues iterations earlier it all makes sense now.

[pure garnet]

i feel like reading the readme was part of the requirements of installing the program too but that's just me

[lunar comet]

I stopped after the pawnio thing. Mb

[steel stream]

huh what

what's a readme

[pure garnet]

fr

[lunar comet]

Also what else do I need to do if it went well overnight?

[pure garnet]

then you’d move to the next stress test

i like aida because it shows errors fast for co but you’d want like 3 stress tests to confirm -36 is stable

[lunar comet]

Damn 65 bucks for just stress test ill be using once. Any other good alternatives?

[pure garnet]

it has a 30 day trial

[lunar comet]

Time to leave this running overnight. If -36 ends up working im going to be proud of myself.

@smoky orbit I think the play is getting two WiFi extenders

One lower end one just to catch a signal and throw it in the right direction, and the other being that AC750 I showed you that has an RJ45 port, being the one I'd actually benefit from

The only issue though would be finding a cheap extender that doesn't show itself as a different network

Okay I am pretty I just described a mesh Wi-Fi system

[frank zealot]

Honestly no, I don't remember that ever being common.
Slot or tray drives were the thing.

[steel stream]

that seems terrible

[frank zealot]

exceptionally

[young void]

It looks accurate but no clue what that is

What is that pad

Oh snap they do make laptops still, tough books hrmm

[brisk jolt]

[lunar comet]

Can already see that being loose after some time where it starts to smack your hand while you use the trackpad.

[frank zealot]

look at the trackpad size, that means your hand isn't moving much

it's so unreasonably small

[smoky orbit]

Yeah x3

[civic reef]

I have a better idea

Actual mesh wifi system

Wait no that's my previous idea

The new idea is ethernet over power

What do you think?

What I am looking at is a two-piece system from TP-Link
First piece is pretty much the adapter, connects to power & ethernet from the router

Second one is the recepient piece that transmits WiFi through the received ethernet over the home's power grid

Okay I accidentally "explained" an ethernet-over-power system

I just meant to describe what the system has in it

[smoky orbit]

Yeah, the thingy (I think) I suggested you?

[civic reef]

Yeah I believe you did? Just remembering it

Just to make sure, it'll work as long as both sockets that the devices are connected to are on the same power grid?

[smoky orbit]

Yeah, it would be a great idea, just make sure that running a power bar won’t affect the signal

[civic reef]

Pretty sure that even though both devices are being ran through extension cords, the resulting connection will still be better than a standalone Wi-Fi extender

Not to mention that, by technicality, I'd have a fully wired connection to the Internet

Since the recipient piece has an RJ45 port

[smoky orbit]

Anywhere in the same house, using a power bar might work or might not, it depends on the modules and the power bar

[cosmic gazelle]

I’m bored do I delid the i5-4670 and see what temps it runs at on a dell stock cooler

[cosmic gazelle]

there’s one specific kind

the one she just mentioned

[civic reef]

Neither specify voltage at all

[frank zealot]

ohhhh, yeston does cool shit.
But they're also rather rare

[civic reef]

Quick guide & datasheet

[frank zealot]

at least stateside, they're pretty rare

[cosmic gazelle]

this person put ptm on theirs so even better

[smoky orbit]

Do you know what’s Lebanon’s standard wall voltage?

[smoky orbit]

Ohhh yeah those guys

[civic reef]

220V

[cosmic gazelle]

My dream is to someday build one of those lenovo thinkcenter thingys people make with the yeston 3050 or whatever comes out in the future that’s better

[civic reef]

It's within the 200-240VAC standard, so

[sharp heart]

nice pink

[civic reef]

You'll need a new cover for it, for ventilation

[cosmic gazelle]

most people just take the cover off

[civic reef]

Fair
Though I'd recommend a 3D printed one

[smoky orbit]

Oh oki, get the uk one and then you can adapt the socket without potentially interfering with the signal (uk plugs also have a fuse in their standard so if it’s following the standard properly that’s a bonus)

[cosmic gazelle]

like this thing would KICK ASS with a 3050 or an a4000 for the power draw and footprint

[cosmic gazelle]

why install many cover when no cover do trick

[civic reef]

UK plugs aren't within our standard

[smoky orbit]

These have a max power draw of like 90 watts (also often font have any pcie slots)

[cosmic gazelle]

people put single slot lp cards in some type of thinkcenter that is that form factor

idk if it’s that specific one or not

[smoky orbit]

Yeah but since it’s on 220-240 you can just adapt the socket with an adapter

[cosmic gazelle]

as you can see here it fits quite nicely

[smoky orbit]

Ohhhh

[civic reef]

Oh I know, I am just saying they're physically different

We have a hybrid Type A & C plug

[smoky orbit]

Ohh oki

[civic reef]

Which fits European standards better

Plus the store is most definitely stocking EU standard ones

[cosmic gazelle]

mods like this are pretty cool but it’s ugly unless you paint it

and also, if you get a coffee lake version, i9-9900t’s are still outrageously expensive for some reason

Looking to buy this system

@smoky orbit

[smoky orbit]

Huh? An hybrid between a (north American) and c (mostly European)?

[civic reef]

Alongside an M.2 NVMe/NGFF enclosure

[cosmic gazelle]

like bro 😭

you could get an entire pc that’s more efficient for less

[smoky orbit]

Ohh nicey

[civic reef]

Yeah!
Lemme show you

[smoky orbit]

Ohhh good idea

[smoky orbit]

(Type a is considered eol and dangerous over here due to its lack of ground pin)

[smoky orbit]

Yayayayayatayayayaayayay

[civic reef]

It's for my PM961 that I still have in my T470s, will need it for games

[smoky orbit]

Ohhhh nicey (where’s the ground tho qwq)

[civic reef]

It's right underneath your feet!
LOL

Okay that sounded funnier in my head 💔

[smoky orbit]

Hehe

[civic reef]

Anyway yeah that's all we use, anything else isn't a standard we use

[smoky orbit]

(I meant the grounding pin)

[civic reef]

Yeah yeah I know

We don't have one I believe </3

[smoky orbit]

Really? That’s like not really good qwq, what do you do when you have something like a pc psu to plug in?

[civic reef]

I just.. Plug it in?
They use the same physical connector as type C/F

[cosmic gazelle]

phantom can you get one of these jawns where you are

[smoky orbit]

Or when a big appliance (like a fridge) suffers from a power surge? Qwq

[steel stream]

some countries don't have ground

[smoky orbit]

The ones with the small indent?

[cosmic gazelle]

bros country

[smoky orbit]

Really? That’s like the easiest thing to implement, plug it to something metallic that goes underground (like a water pipe)

[steel stream]

They used to connect ground and neutral together, and in some places it's just a continuing practice

[civic reef]

Wdym?

[civic reef]

From what I know, here we just connect neutral/ground to the.. Well.. Ground

[smoky orbit]

Like this

[smoky orbit]

You mean the “negative” pin?

[civic reef]

Hybrid inverter automatic shut-off upon anomalous electricity

[smoky orbit]

Cause ground and negative are different in ac electricity

[civic reef]

I genuinely have no idea
All I know is ground is connected to THE ground

[civic reef]

PSU cable has the indents, wall does not

[steel stream]

there is no negative terminal in AC

[smoky orbit]

Yessss, that’s how it’s down but it’s supposed to have a dedicated pin

[civic reef]

It's simply identical to what you see in the image I sent

[steel stream]

It's Hot, Neutral, Ground

[smoky orbit]

I used negative to make it easier to understand, it’s normally called the neutral

[civic reef]

Lemme see

[cosmic gazelle]

normal circled in red

mental illness circled in blue

[civic reef]

We use hybrid A-C here :3

[smoky orbit]

Yeah but they still have to dumb the ever charge somewhere (normally to the ground)

[civic reef]

Negative

[smoky orbit]

Shut you North American, UK standard is the best for many reasons (I say this as a Canadian)

[civic reef]

That's why we have soil! The earth!!!!

[smoky orbit]

Yes but you need an electrical wire from the device to said soil qwq

[civic reef]

Don't ask me, ask the electrical engineers here ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[civic reef]

Oh btw just remembered @smoky orbit
We use surge arrestors here in the country

[civic reef]

Type F is simply best :3c

[smoky orbit]

Ohhhhh a gfci Wall breaker?

[civic reef]

Now that I do not know

[smoky orbit]

There’s a fuse included in each power cord (if made correctly), the ground connects first and half of the neutral and hot pins are non conductive so if the plug isn’t fully inserted there’s no shock or short circuit risks

[civic reef]

If referring to something like this? Then I haven't seen one before

[smoky orbit]

From what I’ve briefly read type f in type c shouldn’t be an issue from the world standard org thingy’s pov

[smoky orbit]

Those are generally in a plastic or metal box on or in the wall

[cosmic gazelle]

anybody want a dell precision t3610 for 90 bucks with 2 quadro k600s and an unknown cpu, there’s a very clean example on goodwill that will almost certainly not receive any bids

it’s $15 plus $75 shipping lmao

[civic reef]

I mean, I've been doing it my entire life

[civic reef]

Yeah I know, circuit box

We have two, one that controls plant electricity and one that controls both plant & solar

Solar one goes through a hybrid inverter first

[smoky orbit]

Yeah, the only concern is if you get very frequent static shocks from appliances

[civic reef]

I get static electricity from my computer, but no shocks

Closer to VCR static

[smoky orbit]

Ohhh oki

[civic reef]

Pretty sure it's just a SATA cable or such pressing against the panel

[smoky orbit]

Might just be that

[hoary hatch]

What the fuck people are already getting their steam controllers

[civic reef]

Also, what do you think? Would the ethernet-over-power be a good idea?

Oh wait no it is, because it's your idea!

An extra upside is the RJ45 port on the recipient module, which means I can get close to ethernet-from-router like speeds

[smoky orbit]

Yes, it’s a good idea (running them on power bars can induce issues, tho)

[civic reef]

Bumping that 3 Megabit down to 7 Megabit down ❤️

May get a full Megabit up now too

[civic reef]

It's my only solution, unfortunately

Router itself is connected by a power bar lol

And where I sit has a power bar closest to it in terms of connections

[pure garnet]

they ship it to valve shills the fastest

[smoky orbit]

It might work and since it’s your only solution go for it but prepared that it might not be magical and/or work perfectly

[civic reef]

I can try to decrease power bar usage to ONLY the adapting module, but then I lose ethernet and have around 7m distance between me and the recipient module

[wraith steeple]

[hoary hatch]

Oh, yeah, I do not worship Gabe so this tracks

[wraith steeple]

I couldn't resist

[pure garnet]

the worst part about graduating is losing youtube premium student

[wraith steeple]

My condolences

[hoary hatch]

I'm so bored, I need more jaykihn0 tweets

[late atlas]

indeed

[random flame]

[wraith steeple]

Will be pairing this with the K5 PR166 build

[fringe vigil]

How discord mods feels

[toxic pilot]

How are you supposed to use a phone with only 64 gb in 2026

[brave panther]

with an micro sd card

[steel stream]

I don't even use 64GB on my current phone 🤷

[random flame]

I think mine was 128 gigs aanndd I don't even know if I'll even use that much either.
Even for photos, I'd eventually just move them to my desktop anyway, so they won't stay there long either.

[wraith steeple]

Late 2.5D DOS games and some early Windows 95 3D games will do nicely with that K5 PR166

Also the sound card will be a Yamaha Audician 32 Plus

[random flame]

Dayum.

Too bad it can't be an MT-32 module though.

[wraith steeple]

Yeah those things are going for ungodly amounts of dough

[random flame]

No surprise.

Apparently nearly anything Roland made in time period is going to be insanely pricey today.

[random flame]

Makes sense though. The stuff they made then are practically considered legendary now.

Most especially the Juno and Jupiter synths.

[wraith steeple]

[toxic pilot]

What if you cant?

[wraith steeple]

For video I thought of going with those Rage 3 based cards mainly for less CPU overhead given the K5's weaker FPU compared to the Pentiums. But ehh....... This Rage II+DVD will do the job just fine for what I want out of it. Just something different

This should handle Duke 3D, Shadow Warrior, Blood, and even Descent pretty adequately

[frank zealot]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/257471796455

the mx400 was a top tier soundcard back in its day

[wraith steeple]

Ah ESS! Yes ESS stuff was killer

I have a couple of their ISA cards

[edgy laurel]

ESS still makes DAC chips for most audio solutions today

[wraith steeple]

It's nice to know they're still around

[young void]

When shes full gotta share the movie collection lmao

[cosmic gazelle]

time to go look around my local tech recycler for goodies

[frank zealot]

this card had.... Aureal 3D? "3d accelerated sound" or some variety of PR nonsense.

But their shit sounded good

[wraith steeple]

I do have a generic Aureal Vortex 2 in another machine and can confirm

Such a shame Aureal got whacked

Media Vision got Isekai'd only to get taken out by Creative

[frank zealot]

Well, sound card were on a ticking clock for life.

It's not like there's much of a market anymore, and hasn't been in... a decade? Longer?

[steel stream]

shoutout to modern audio hardware

[wraith steeple]

Very true. I use onboard audio for my main systems after like X-Fi didn't see the need in having one for a daily

[cosmic gazelle]

shoutout to any front panel 3.5mm jack from before 2016 that required you to use a filter to not hear insufferable crackling

[frank zealot]

DACs are vastly more common for modern stuff than a dedicated sound card

and even DACs are fairly niche in the grand scheme

[cosmic gazelle]

i might be stupid but isn’t audio processed through the gpu these days anyways

[steel stream]

mobos are coming with decent dacs nowadays

[devout ridge]

idk what you're talking about, this thing was ubiquitus

[frank zealot]

fuckin' apple

[steel stream]

maybe? I don't know for sure tbh

[steel stream]

Apple DAC is good man

[devout ridge]

It is unironically amazing for the price

[frank zealot]

only if you're doing HDMI / DP audio out (through the gpu ports)
If you're not, then no

[devout ridge]

Like to do better you'd be spending upwards of 50usd

you can get a 2 pack of them for 7usd

[cosmic gazelle]

ohhhh cuz i was wondering how tf my tv was getting audio through a quadro p620 lol

why do all of my audio outputs say nvidia hd audio even the ones from my 3.5mm jack?
