[keen solstice]

hey, man, it could cool a 45 watt athlon 64, it'll run

slaps hood

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah i mean it would probably survive the heat load of stock settings but i've noticed that higher nb voltages and such increase cpu temp on am3+ even without actually raising core clock or voltage

seems like heating up one thing heats up the whole package

[keen solstice]

it's just a cheap aluminum extrusion

literally a tin can on top of the CPU

you'll thermally soak the contact patch and then........ nothing. every bit as awful as the 115x intel stock coolers

[cosmic gazelle]

if 9590s weren't like 100 dollars i would have just gotten an aio compatible with am3+ but i am not spending that much money on a stupid 4 core cpu

[keen solstice]

i haaaate these things with a burning passion

[cosmic gazelle]

i think the haswell ones i have are copper slug

[keen solstice]

mea culpa for the toothpaste TIM

definitely not by choice

I think it worked for one generation, ivy, they were able to get away with toothpaste and not use any copper. fucking bean counters, man

[cosmic gazelle]

i have a delidded 4790k that still won't do avx2 workloads at anything higher than 4.6 because they just heat soak themselves so quickly

avx2 heat output on haswell is insane

and it's hard to call an oc stable if it won't do certain instruction sets

i could probably get it to do 5ghz in just sse workloads

[keen solstice]

what if the instruction set is a literal power virus

coughs in avx512

[cosmic gazelle]

if ound out rocket league uses avx2 because i had my oc set to 4.7 and the game hard crashed my system

i would have direct die'd my chip but unfortunately no one makes contact frames for haswell anymore

and they did exist but there isn't a single one for sale on a used marketplace as far as i can tell

[keen solstice]

probably printable from nylon etc, no?

[cosmic gazelle]

don't have a printer but yeah probably

tolerances would be hard though

[keen solstice]

someone has a whole printable delid tool lmao https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6368132

[cosmic gazelle]

like there's so many pictures of these and they just, don't exist

[cosmic gazelle]

eh these are like 10 bucks on amazon anyways

[keen solstice]

if you're seriously after it start forum posting. I'm sure someone knows where the holes are supposed to go, and someone else would draw it up in CAD

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah i mean there's a billion of em for 1151 gen 1 so maybe i'll do a DD build with a z170

it's a shame they aren't cross compatible

[minor herald]

direct die scares me

[minor herald]

yes its not that hard only like 0.05mm+-

[cosmic gazelle]

i mean they're worth like 40 bucks, if you crack the die big whoop

but on a more expensive cpu yeah

[keen solstice]

laptop technician moment

[cosmic gazelle]

i think i would DD my 9800x3d if the tools and equipment to do so weren't one morbillion dollars

[minor herald]

its more the fact its just floting and cant use ILM/coolers are dont sit at right high since ihz has thickness that needs to be made up somewhere

[keen solstice]

fact

[minor herald]

some do sell kits that have a block made for it with a predelided cpu

with a warrenty

[dense granite]

Bro I had issues with .1-.2 tolerances trying to trail and error my way through thermal pad modding my 9070XT.

[cosmic gazelle]

i feel like if you want a direct die cooled cpu and a warranty for said cpu

you have some interesting mental processes going on

[minor herald]

well the seller of a cpu shoud give you a warrenty

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah but delidding is inherently enthusiast level

and generally enthusiast level things come iwth the understanding that your warranty is void

[turbid locust]

@pure garnet X3D board has subs with 8000 and 8200MTs on ycruncher and shit . We’ll see if 8200 is daily-able. Might just be benchable.

If I can only do 8000 I might go for some silly primaries or somethin idk

8000cl34 would be basically free on my 6K26 kit, could potentially do c32 at 1.45-1.5?

[brisk jolt]

the gigabyte?

[turbid locust]

Yeah

[turbid locust]

Bought for daily it’ll be here Tues

[low sorrel]

@smoky orbit are you montreal or quebec city

[brisk jolt]

interesting, which one didcha grab?

[turbid locust]

https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/X870E-AORUS-ELITE-X3D

[brisk jolt]

looks sick

mac is the guinea pig for gigabyte am5?

[turbid locust]

that’s kind of the main reason I decided on it lol

I think 5nail bought a higher end Gigabyte board but I can’t remember

[slim pebble]

I put in the Dark Hero x870e today and blocked my aorus

[turbid locust]

I just hope it’s ok for Zen 6 daily mem oc lol

[slim pebble]

He had a B850 at some point

[brisk jolt]

Im still between an apex or a humble white 4 dimmer

but in all honesty i prob would go for the apex if the dude would accept 600 SGD lmfao

[slim pebble]

Anything but the glacial, the price hurts

[turbid locust]

The only difference between this board and the Master and Xtreme is the Elite doesn’t say it’s “low loss PCB” but it’s the same amount of PCB layers and the same memory frequency rating… so idk lol

[turbid locust]

What are you trying to do

[brisk jolt]

glacial costs 1.4K USD post tax here which stings

[turbid locust]

I think high end boards for daily is silly

[brisk jolt]

grab a nicer board that can do dual GPU for when I feel like it

[turbid locust]

Master

[brisk jolt]

master i shit you not is twice the price of the elite

[turbid locust]

ya

[civic reef]

Honestly I am glad that ASRock gave their PG4 X570 x4 wiring on the secondary x16

As opposed to x1, like some OTHER companies

[frank cypress]

nah anything for the flex big man

ok but unironically, if it has a featureset that you need then well, what are you gonna do

had a friend buy a b850 ai top cause he needed 10g eth

maybe not a high end board per say, but definitely plenty pricey

[turbid locust]

99% of people would be satisfied by a $200 B850

[civic reef]

Why not buy a $10 USB WiFi Adapter that totally supports 10 Gigabit

:3

[civic reef]

Tbh I'd be happy with an A620

[turbid locust]

it was more of a blanket statement

[brisk jolt]

this is actually straight wrong, 100% of people only need haswell and a 1080ti

[turbid locust]

most people could blindly buy any B850 and it would suit their needs regardless of hardware

[civic reef]

Fair enough

[civic reef]

ASRock B850

[turbid locust]

perfectly fine

[civic reef]

Aren't they still frying CPUs at a higher rate than other brands?

[turbid locust]

There’s maybe 2 B850’s that wouldn’t have the VRMs to run a 9950X3D2

[turbid locust]

No

[brisk jolt]

its still a <1% incident anyway

[civic reef]

Fair enough ig

Atleast their AM4s don't seem to have any issues

[frank cypress]

i think he needed a variety of things, but iirc he might've wanted the 10gb built in cause he wanted the other PCIE lanes free for other shit or something, dunno

[civic reef]

Oh okay that makes sense

If I had to guess, he probably wanted a sound card??

[frank cypress]

i don't think so, it might've just been a wack ton of storage or something

[trim agate]

Yo send me the link for this $10 wifi adapter for 10gbps

[civic reef]

Just search on amazon, you'll get a billion

Just tiny ass USB adapters lmfao

[brisk jolt]

time for usb4 $40 wifi adapter for 40 gbps

[trim agate]

Er a lot of these don’t look good

[civic reef]

That's the point ~w~

1 week later, M5 Pro MBP is amazing

Morning after a large award ceremony is so tiring...

Didn't win in my category, but was a finalist in the state so i'm happy

Dude that won was insane, so i'm not upset in the slightest

[young void]

Much grats, hopefully it was some fun

[devout ridge]

Phenomenal show

It's a mix of showcases and awards, so even if you aren't a finalist, it's a load of fun

[brisk jolt]

i swear you got it like 3 days ago or smth

[devout ridge]

I got it wednesday of last week

[devout ridge]

It's a powerhouse compared to my M3 air

and actually performs better than my desktop in vectorworks

[brisk jolt]

iroh you're tempting me to get a laptop that isnt a fuckin shitbox

its not entirely a shitbox but it isnt the most competent either

[devout ridge]

I've already ran into the issue where a piece of software i need is windows only though, so i might buy a shitbox windows laptop to go along with it

(ik i can emulate windows, but god damn is that a pain with passing through IO)

ooh wait, i still have my awful HP Pavilion x360

The hinges on it broke from normal use

[brisk jolt]

Having a ram and NAND crisis makes me thankful I grabbed one for relatively cheap and kinda overkill xD

i def want a TB5 Intel laptop next tho

[hidden kite]

How much ram and storage did you put in?

[devout ridge]

1tb ssd, 48gb of ram

[brisk jolt]

iirc his config is like 48/1tb

[devout ridge]

M5 Pro upgraded chip as well

[hidden kite]

Or you could run it on a server or as you said emulate

[brisk jolt]

god im reading through a theory sheet rn and whoever wrote this has horrible english

[devout ridge]

It was software used to interface with a specific piece of hardware in the theater i work at, so running it on a server isn't an option

[hidden kite]

Oh then I see

[devout ridge]

Specifically allows you to change the config on a big ass amp

[hidden kite]

So you don’t need something beefy just something that runs windows

[devout ridge]

precisely

it is the lightest of lightweight software, designed to work with windows XP through to win10

Not kidding, this is the listed support lol

this isnt about him

[south shuttle]

ngl i'm trying to find one that's under 180 so i don't have to file customs declaration myself

cheapest i could find is 220

[frank zealot]

If it's your laptop in a carry on, they're generally not gonna check it for customs.

If you buy a fancy suit, or jewelry overseas and wear it home? the odds of it getting customs checked is exceedingly low

[smoky orbit]

Montreal, why?

@shell void i think the golden child thinkcenter is starting to die, woke up today and it crashed but my drives are healthy, and earlier this week my jellyfin db got corrupted

[south shuttle]

even the storage prices r good

although this is concerning, diff listing but still

[topaz veldt]

Came downstairs to this

That does wonders for thermals thanks kids

[south shuttle]

they ship from spain ooo

i overlooked that, so no customs

[frank zealot]

they "accidentally" reflashed the firmware to make a 2 core chip read as a 10980HK lol.

"Accidentally"

[turbid locust]

Of course there’s an OCN thread for this board but the one for the Mpower basically doesn’t exist and the z790 AYW OC didn’t at all

[slim pebble]

My daughter’s dumb cat sleeps on my computer if I leave it running and walk out. Wonderful for thermals

[south shuttle]

yeah i know

average scam seller response

i’ve had an allegro seller accidentally ship me fake krytox lubricant

he had no objections to refund me

same with the seller that sent me fake dowsil thermal paste

like i’d believe more if they refused to refund me but they didn’t lol and their reasoning was at least -999iq

pretty sure i posted the responses here you can check

[topaz veldt]

[low sorrel]

@steel stream so the bmw is in for repairs after an old Asian lady in a jaguar crashed into it and we have a Nissan Sentra as a loaner car with a cvt and were at the border crossing

How the fuck do you drive this shit this thing is dreadful on the highway

This car sounds like being in Ukraine and getting bombed by fpv drones

[brisk jolt]

i think fh6 standard releases in 38 minutes for me

[low sorrel]

Use the New Zealand strat

[turbid locust]

What year

[low sorrel]

Which one

[turbid locust]

my Sentra is surprisingly not annoying

but I drove a 2013 Versa once and that shit sounded like it was screaming to be put down

[low sorrel]

2014

[turbid locust]

yeah them shits were ass

iPhone autocorrect still can’t figure out “were” and “we’re”

[shell void]

i hate this

[turbid locust]

same

because when you try to correct it IT CHANGES TO THE WRONG ONE AGAIN

[low sorrel]

Can they just give us a Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic again

[brisk jolt]

yk what

for once imma bring my laptop with the egpu just for forza

[turbid locust]

I test drove a civic before buying my Sentra and that shit was ASS

Cramped and screaming CVT

I guess only the high trims are decent

[frank zealot]

I don't know if Unifi Support is staffed by humans lol

Mind you, by my last message, it had been at least 15-20 minutes. (I notice they don't use timestamps, which is convenient)

and then I was transferred to an "agent"
I don't know that I believe that you're a person.

[low sorrel]

Do civics have cvts now?

[turbid locust]

Yeah for sure, at least in the lower trims

[low sorrel]

I remember last time they gave just a Civic with an h pattern which was WACK

[low sorrel]

Oh ew

All civics either come with a CVT or a manual now

Actually there's a ecvt

[turbid locust]

which is basically just a CVT with extra steps

The only car I drove with a CVT that didn’t feel like shit was my Sentra

But the earlier models definitely did

[low sorrel]

Yeah I just wanna get out and walk atp

[slim pebble]

Better than Nissan CVTs I hope?

[turbid locust]

Nissan CVTs are good now in terms of drivability

The one in my Sentra fake shifts and doesn’t bother me at all

2010-2018 Nissan CVTs were dog tho

[brisk jolt]

@low sorrel I just added the brake kit and tightened the stand fixing any wobble… I think im ready xD

(unless it's the 16GB 7600 XT)

[brisk jolt]

god i wanna bring my laptop out just to play FH6 and the other side of me is going “but you need to bring a bigger bag and carry more weight”

[low sorrel]

No

I'm in the US border checkpoint for 2 hours

3 fans is literally a gimmick, it doesn't need it at all.

the 7600 XT 16GB is probably the go to then

[wraith steeple]

@topaz veldt what do I get from chick fil A

[low sorrel]

Why do y'all have so much American flag shit I ain't ever Seen a jump rope with the Canadian flag on it

[wraith steeple]

[frank zealot]

the nugs are... decent?
The waffle fries are their best menu item.

But you can absolutely do better elsewhere.

Chick Fil A Sauce + Polynesian Sauce are probably the best two sauces

[late atlas]

I like this reply

[low sorrel]

Like what

[wraith steeple]

Back when we lived in Iraq and Syria it wasn't uncommon to see the national flag on garage like doors for businesses that were closed painted on

[low sorrel]

Literally the only time you see the Canadian flag is on government buildings do y'all forget you live in the US or something

Also giant US flags on dealerships are wack

[late atlas]

Well I mean people putting out flags is more of a political/patriot thing isn't it?

[frank zealot]

Honestly, Fresh McDonalds nuggets are better than CFA.

CFA never has crispy coatings, which is kinda lame.

but I'd go to Wing Stop or someplace else before CFA generally

(wingstop always get sauce on the side, that way they stay crispy)

well, it's not like there are many options. Samsung, LG, AUO are the main ones. Other are small players

I turn fans and pump low and get the core to like 65-70C for like 10 mins, then turn the PC off, then do it again

[shell void]

it’s that kind of hot outside where you can hear cicadas and harmonicas

and you can see the squiggly heat waves too

[green marsh]

well, in displays still there are no choices really. And even Apple sometimes switches between LG and Ssamsung within the same product

[shell void]

the kind of heat that would kill half of england because they already cry about like 75F with 50% humidity

[hoary hatch]

Depends on the market segment
Samsung display is still king for smartphones, but in large format, LG is killing it

[pallid marsh]

How are you at 28% battery

[hoary hatch]

And then there's TCL who is starting to move towards higher end panels

I'm so excited for where the display market will be by the end of the decade

[pallid marsh]

Sony and TCL are partners

[hoary hatch]

TCL has been making their own panels for a long time

But now they're starting to try and move up market

Uhh I think Hisense also makes their own panels?

[pallid marsh]

I think this is why TCL is moving into the OLED market

[steel stream]

Agreed

[pallid marsh]

Apparently not

[hoary hatch]

I'll give Samsung credit for flooding the monitor and laptop market with cheap OLED panels

[pallid marsh]

And for making horrible displays on kitchen appliances

[slim pebble]

Thanks maaaan!

[slim pebble]

Yes I have a t-sensor on plugged into the EK pump/res.

[steel stream]

I wouldn't wait 30 minutes for "fast food" ever

[pallid marsh]

Only an idiot would wait 30mins for FAST food

Olive garden is faster than that

[wraith steeple]

I've been going to the local halal butcher shop lately to make my own foods lately

[pure garnet]

if mcdonald’s ain’t ready in 5 minutes it’s not worth buying

[hoary hatch]

I just don't eat fast food

Ez pz

[wraith steeple]

Especially since I no longer work midnights it's given me more time to cook my own stuff which is nice

quite cool

[cosmic gazelle]

running 6800mhz ram? for some reason

i know ram isn't important for cinebench but why 6800

[merry stirrup]

i have 2x16GB reg dimms i can throw in my moms ecc rig

[merry stirrup]

it literally makes no difference

[cosmic gazelle]

i'm saying it's a weird place to land rather than either xmp or 8k+

[merry stirrup]

like if you’re running r20/23 for ram differences you’re just shooting yourself in the foot

[merry stirrup]

6800 c30. they’re probably just binned for that

[cosmic gazelle]

like, the sticks? looks like a 6000 26 kit

[merry stirrup]

xmp is not the bin

you can have a kit that’s 6000 c30 binned for 9K 34 f it’s validated

[cosmic gazelle]

back to your earlier question, how would you get rdimms to boot on a consumer am4 board? or is that not what you meant

[merry stirrup]

binned meaning
high quality sticks tested by users prior for specific settings usually bench oriented

[cosmic gazelle]

gotcha

[merry stirrup]

not binned meaning a high factory bin

[merry stirrup]

i don’t think it works i was asking if it does lol

[cosmic gazelle]

ah

[merry stirrup]

cause i have 4r reg 16GB sticks i want to put in my moms computer

[cosmic gazelle]

those are worth like 4 thousand dollars

[merry stirrup]

something like that

i’d rather have my mom be with 32GB than 16 though

[cosmic gazelle]

people are passing 1b at 6700mhz on the 270k

[pure garnet]

95% sure am4 only does ecc unregistered

[cosmic gazelle]

that's wild

[merry stirrup]

that’s what i thought but google is conflicting me

[cosmic gazelle]

the hell is this background 😭

[merry stirrup]

only udimm okay

[low sorrel]

When the hell did Macy's have toys rus

[cosmic gazelle]

wait there's no WAY that's a thing

does turning off smooth text unironically make windows bench faster

[wraith steeple]

https://tenor.com/view/always-has-been-among-us-astronaut-space-betrayal-gif-23836476

At least the one near me before it became a corpse rotting down the street

[merry stirrup]

it’s cpu cycles

[cosmic gazelle]

i didn't know that uses cpu cycles

it doesn't seem like most ln2 people even care enough to turn it off

just that guy up above

[whole coral]

Dude GoNetSpeed is so close to getting the poles right to the home I’m in ready

They got the poles on the street behind me ready

[topaz veldt]

When people think a 13900K/14900K with no power limits can be tamed by a 360 AIO.... I lose total, complete respect for their knowledge

[cosmic gazelle]

wasn't that the whole like gamers nexus editorial piece when those chips came out

that no consumer cooler could actually cool the damn thing

[topaz veldt]

It is universally known that if you run it unlimited, or even moderately limited, they will pull 350-425W and with the density it throttles instantly

[merry stirrup]

yeah the chip runs at 1.4+ load voltage and will easily draw 300w on aio then throttle

[young void]

Mce just runs juiceddd

[cosmic gazelle]

does it actually do anything or are you gaining marginal performance vs, like, 250w

[merry stirrup]

i don’t think you’d get 425 period unless you try some stupid shit

[wraith steeple]

I have my Intel system running defaults and called it a day

[topaz veldt]

It can be huge uplift if not throttling

[merry stirrup]

don’t do this on the stock heat spreader

[topaz veldt]

PPT maxed, all core 5.6+ and its 420W easy - even TPU has it shown

[young void]

If this summer gets to toasty probs drop watts alittle

[cosmic gazelle]

maybe noob question but how do tech channels measure 14900k benchmarks then, just stock config?

[merry stirrup]

stock settings truly are crazy

[topaz veldt]

They will test 100% stock, "PBO OC" and then like "max OC" if they are any good

you can read about TPUs test case

[merry stirrup]

ig we’re counting some pretty small spikes

[cosmic gazelle]

do people direct die their 14900ks or just lap the ihs or what

[merry stirrup]

delid +lm under ihs

[young void]

If you take a raw 14th gen into linux and toss it on avx without reducing cores or limited itll slowly climb past 97 lol

[merry stirrup]

source: me

[topaz veldt]

Nah - my 14900K on like 5.7 GHz all core ate up 450W - like sustained thru R23

[cosmic gazelle]

lm is that much better than solder?

[merry stirrup]

you had to have had an awful chip then no lie

[topaz veldt]

I had an SP107 bud

[merry stirrup]

yeah and i dailied 5.9 at 1.36 volts

did you use ht or no?

[topaz veldt]

Yes with your IHS off

[merry stirrup]

450w sustained on a chip with no mods is basically impossible imo lol

[topaz veldt]

Didn't yours also degrade lol

[young void]

Minus 0.1 , never hurts for intel

[merry stirrup]

not the cores

[topaz veldt]

mhm

[merry stirrup]

brother ask kyoko to bench it 💀💀

[young void]

Aww snap sista kyoko has the 14900k?

[cosmic gazelle]

wait sista

has kyoko been a sista this whole time

[young void]

I think

[merry stirrup]

it degraded because i typed 1.5 volts into the wrong memory voltage box and sent 1.5 volts down VDDQ TX. chip doesn’t do much past 7200 mem anymore

[topaz veldt]

14900K can easily do 425W with no limits applied

[young void]

Kyoko is female i believe or idk they never corrected me

[cosmic gazelle]

what all core clocks do you get on a 360 without a delid and an undervolt

[merry stirrup]

5.7 or so with ht off and probably 5.5-6 with it on

[cosmic gazelle]

oh so not horrible

[merry stirrup]

not at all both of those are great

i dailied 5.7 ht off on a 360 with no delid and contact frame

[topaz veldt]

but if left with mobo power limits OFF she will eat a ton of watts

[merry stirrup]

1.32 volts

[young void]

Non the less thats ballin if so

[merry stirrup]

anything more instantly throttles including stock settings

[cosmic gazelle]

sounds like the 4790k lmao

[topaz veldt]

insanely worse

[merry stirrup]

intel smoking the glass pipe when they were making the default voltage requests

[topaz veldt]

you just needed a good sample, otherwise yes they were aggressive with the VIDs

[merry stirrup]

no cpu should have 0 vdroop at 30w vs 330w

[cosmic gazelle]

idk mane as far as i can tell you have to direct die to run vt3 at anything over 1.3 on the 4790k

maybe my sample just sucks

[merry stirrup]

to answer this

it’s thinner, by a lot

[cosmic gazelle]

do people lap their ihses as well or is that not really needed

[merry stirrup]

while also increasing conductivity by like 30%

[merry stirrup]

yes some people just get rid of them entirely even

[cosmic gazelle]

i think it'd be fun to do a 1700 direct die build because the needed components seem pretty accessible

[topaz veldt]

You have to direct die for the 14900K to not kill itself... stock

[topaz veldt]

Not kidding lol

[cosmic gazelle]

ya ik

[topaz veldt]

basically 9/10 NON degraded samples on OCN were delidded

[merry stirrup]

the chips however are very tunable and if you weren’t a moron you could get them to run great settings at not ridiculous volts

[cosmic gazelle]

1851 addressed that right? an uncapped 270kp can be cooled by a 360?

[merry stirrup]

5.7 on 8 pcores at 1.32 volts is very very good for no modifications besides contact frame

[merry stirrup]

brother no top end can be cooled unlimited by just a 360

[cosmic gazelle]

oh i thought they changed it

[topaz veldt]

You basiaclly HAD to undervolt them...

[merry stirrup]

13900KS -> 270KP
7950X -> 9950X

[topaz veldt]

but an undervolted 14900k that did like 42k R23 is still like a 350-375W CPU lol

[merry stirrup]

none of them can be cooled with just 360

[topaz veldt]

this was the original point I made

[merry stirrup]

yeah

turns out unlocking the power limit means just that

am5 has serious thermal issues because of the IHS along with high thermal density

[cosmic gazelle]

i remember back in the day people talking about pbo on the 5800x being basically unobtainium because of how hot it always ran, but i don't think people really delidded those much

maybe i'm wrong

[merry stirrup]

intel less so density but they have high thermal issues because there’s 24 cores there

still dense just not a ccd dense

[merry stirrup]

this is true

[cosmic gazelle]

i ran my 5800x on eco mode for a long while because i was too dumb to diagnose my cooling issues

[merry stirrup]

5800x is the most heat dense chip on am4 i’m pretty sure still

[cosmic gazelle]

xt but yeah

[merry stirrup]

hardest to cool cause it clocked ok and has only 1ccd

[merry stirrup]

same cpu i don’t count minute things like that no lie

[cosmic gazelle]

fair

[merry stirrup]

but yeah nah crazy hard chips to cool

[cosmic gazelle]

damn i wanna know what this dude was using

4925mhz on his 5800x in yc1b only hit 79c

no picture but says aio water

[merry stirrup]

coulda been like offset arctic mount

i think that is the best am4 solution

for preconfigured*

[wheat shore]

theoretically if i had 130$ to spend on an sbc, whats my best option?

new or used

[cosmic gazelle]

raspberry pi and a 36 pack of coors light

[young void]

Whats an sbc mean?

[wheat shore]

hell yeah brother...

[merry stirrup]

single board computer

[topaz veldt]

5950X was not as "dense" due to dual CCD and slower clocks but man could that thing cook

[merry stirrup]

one of the mini guys

[merry stirrup]

yeah for sure i mean they’re pretty similar of course

[cosmic gazelle]

you can find mini pc's with the n100 for like around that amount and just take it out of the case, but dedicated sbcs are gonna be harder to find for that price

[wheat shore]

im getting acausted in the forum for even considering to buy one lmao

[merry stirrup]

i personally wouldn’t if you have no reason to

[wheat shore]

linux on arm

[merry stirrup]

upgrade the main puter instead, or if you need a server buy a real desktop for expansion reasons

[pure garnet]

if you need gpio -> pi, if you just want a computer to mess with, used optiplex

[cosmic gazelle]

damn the best air cooled 5800x r23 run of all time was at 4875mhz

the fact that the #1 is that low of a frequency is kinda crazy

[merry stirrup]

am4 didn’t clock very high

[cosmic gazelle]

okay so maybe i'm dumb but this seems like a very beatable setup

[pure garnet]

my 13700k beat my 5800x3d just from clock advantage in ff

[wheat shore]

thats what i was thinking, but i kinda want a hand in using linux on an arm based device

im still thinking

[cosmic gazelle]

you could just buy a chromebook and install linux on it

[pure garnet]

imagine linux but instead of the packages saying x86_64 it says arm64

[merry stirrup]

20$

[cosmic gazelle]

there's plenty of arm chromebooks out there

[pure garnet]

there is no actual difference to waste money on

[wheat shore]

thats true

[cosmic gazelle]

https://tenor.com/view/explosion-explode-clouds-of-smoke-gif-17216934

[wheat shore]

thats true ig

but then theres shit like this that makes me want one

[cosmic gazelle]

the only reason i can think of to run linux on arm specifically is if you're really pinching power efficiency

[pure garnet]

that's the dumbest thing i've seen

[wheat shore]

ik lmao

[topaz veldt]

make sure to check the purpose of the video

thermal throttling at 320W w/ a 420mm AIO

[shell void]

skull

[merry stirrup]

sounds right

[topaz veldt]

So the point was this other newb said they were running 420W+ without throttling on a 360 AIO, its simply unpossible

Told them the AIO and fans and shit are irrelevant

cannot get the heat into the IHS fast enough

[fringe vigil]

this chat fell of so hard since me and guilty dont speak that much anymore

[shell void]

i went back and found this

[merry stirrup]

regardless that’s not 400w lol

[shell void]

unlocked 14900K still not throttling after almost 3 minutes in cinebench on my LF3 420

with a shitty sp95 and no delid

[merry stirrup]

some boards throttle at 95

[shell void]

unfortunately the screenshot is really blurry, but this single pass run peaked at 85c 324W with no clock stretching

i think that was the run that hwbot pulled down because i didnt realize that i had to have three frickin cpu-z tabs open for the screenshot

[slate lark]

My PC park picker is saying estimated watts is close to 950 with a 5090, I’m not gonna get a 5090 but in the long future I may, I currently have a 1000w evga power supply, should I upgrade?

[turbid locust]

I run a 5090 on 1000W no issue

[merry stirrup]

you’re not getting a 5090 in 4 years

you’ll likely buy something modern and more efficient if it’s in “the long future”

[turbid locust]

yeah 7070 gonna smoke 5090

[shell void]

i would assume that 7090 will have a higher default tgp despite being more efficient

[merry stirrup]

and the 7080 will too?

[slate lark]

At that point we’ll be plugging it into the damn wall sockets

[shell void]

worry about upgrading your power supply in four years

[turbid locust]

[shell void]

no point in upgrading a power supply years in advance

[hoary hatch]

That's not a crosshair 2006

[merry stirrup]

agree

[shell void]

unless youre buying a corsair ax1600i or something that's an endgame 120v atx psu

[slate lark]

Well I’m currently upgrading to i9 14th gen I don’t don’t really trust the newer Intel stuff

[merry stirrup]

uh

[slate lark]

I know it’s at the end of the socket life

[hoary hatch]

I've seen some very weak indications Corsair is working on a successor

[shell void]

U7 270K+ makes more sense if you don't know how to tune a computer

[turbid locust]

Even if you don’t

[shell void]

don't get me excited like that

[hoary hatch]

Bruh you are on the untrustworthy Intel stuff

[turbid locust]

270K already has what you would tune a 285K to do

[hoary hatch]

JG making some comments in the Corsair discord

[slate lark]

Well regardless I’m probably looking at a 5080 rather than the 5090

[shell void]

hopefully it's actually on par with the ax1600i and isnt just a generic sloppy unit sharing the same name

[turbid locust]

which is fine

[slate lark]

Are you saying the newer Intel is really that much more reliable?

[shell void]

regardless a 14900K and 5090 would work on a 1000W PSU

[turbid locust]

Where have you been in the last 2 years

[shell void]

worry about replacing your PSU in the future

[steel stream]

Rock

[slate lark]

I don’t understand the new Intel stuff too confusing for me

[turbid locust]

bigger number better except 270K vs 285K

[hoary hatch]

Well one architecture is known for excessive energy usage and stability issues, while the other is arrow lake

Z890 platform is great
Albeit a dead end socket, although so is LGA1700 so meh

[steel stream]

How did they get an arrow into that lake

[hoary hatch]

Same method as an arrow to the knee

[turbid locust]

Socket longevity doesn’t really matter to someone considering a gpu upgrade 4 years from now

[steel stream]

Hmm

[slate lark]

Currently I have an MSI z790 carbon wifi, with an I9 13900ks and a 3080ti FE I know I don’t need to upgrade my cpu but I wanna so the heck with it

[hoary hatch]

Buhhh

[turbid locust]

So you were planning to upgrade from a 13900K to a 14900K?

You realize they’re the same cpu right?

[hoary hatch]

Ks

So literally the same silicon

[turbid locust]

literally the same cpu

[slate lark]

Unlucky number 13

[turbid locust]

Leave your system the way it is and just upgrade gpu lmfao

[steel stream]

Please send help

Work laptop is 1920x1080

[young void]

Still a solid chip no qualms I slowly crawled from 14700k to 7900x to 9900x to 9950x(avx reasons) to 9950x3d keks. If he can sell his current cpu for a decent amount

[hoary hatch]

Okay 14900k has +100MHz on E core max turbo, so it's a worthwhile upgrade

[slate lark]

And if it wasn’t it’s my money to be stupid with🤣

[young void]

A better gpu also never hurts thoughhh

[hoary hatch]

You can be stupid in a smart way if you want but come on don't literally piss money away

[slate lark]

I’m planning on it I’ve been looking for options

[young void]

Wishing lucksss

[hoary hatch]

Like going to z890 and 270k+ is stupid but in a not stupid way
13900ks to 13900ks is stupid in a stupid way

[slate lark]

Also 5080 ti is like no more right?

[turbid locust]

Then we have zero motivation to try to guide your questions lmfao

buy a 1600W PSU if you don’t care

[hoary hatch]

There is no 5080ti

[graceful helm]

Oh no I do value everyone’s input I do greatly, I’m just stubborn. I’m not going to be upgrading my PSU

[graceful helm]

Yea I was planning on it if that's a recommended printer

[turbid locust]

I like mine

[graceful helm]

Alrigjt thank you

[steel stream]

Please just upgrade your GPU your cpu is fine

[turbid locust]

but yeah anyways please don’t waste money on a 14900K when you already have a 13900KS lol. Literally might as well set $400 on fire

[slate lark]

It would be a 14900ks if I was not just a k

[turbid locust]

So $600 on fire

[young void]

My goofy self didnt backread and thought cobras was hunting a cpu i see i see

[slate lark]

And I make that $400 in two and a half days of work

[shell void]

it's the exact same CPU that you have right now with higher default clockspeeds

and it melts itself if you don't delid and watercool it

[turbid locust]

Ok??? lmao

[graceful helm]

So why waste two and a half days of work for negligible "upgrade"

[slate lark]

Currently have a 360mm AIO also have been looking at the options of 420mm AIOs

[steel stream]

Money spread right now motherfucker

[turbid locust]

holyyyyy this is news good enough to make me play the game for the first time in a couple of months

Dude you don’t even wanna know how many I eat in a day. But I also do get two containers a week

[frank cypress]

13900k to 14900k is a crazy ass upgrade 💀

but like. why?

[pallid marsh]

I would be so fat

[frank cypress]

there's probably a million better ways to spend your money

[slate lark]

We trialed making Cherry Garcia in a bar form but it didn’t go well

[pallid marsh]

Like on me

[steel stream]

I did not know Ben and Jerry’s made bars

[young void]

Thats fair

[steel stream]

The dirt cake Ben and Jerry’s is solid

[young void]

Ben and Jerry's makes everything ice cream and inbetween

[steel stream]

Any of the topped or whipped ones

[slate lark]

Launched this year I believe

[young void]

If you find one of their shops worth a try

[pallid marsh]

They have dedicated shops?!

[steel stream]

My issue with Ben and Jerry’s is the containers are too small but I understand

[young void]

They used to have a few its been awhile

[frank cypress]

oh yeah im getting a new matress 💪

im so excited

ok saying that makes me feel old af

[young void]

Portland has one, Eugene should and maybe still Florence

[slate lark]

Well then you won’t like the bars that are 75ml in volume but have like 300 calories

[pallid marsh]

I got one a few months ago new mattresses are great

[turbid locust]

Don’t worry it’s still mid

[steel stream]

I eat a Ben and Jerry’s container in one sitting

[shell void]

woah i didnt know they added wingman to valorant

[steel stream]

Honestly the best upgrade I’ve seen in this channel for a while

[slate lark]

Let’s be honest who doesn’t

[turbid locust]

Yeah lol

[shell void]

that's right up my alley

[frank cypress]

also bought a 4k projector

bedroom theatre is gonna be lit af

[steel stream]

Damn bro gonna have peak movie experience

[frank cypress]

im thinking of picking up a pair of paradigm atom SE for it

also an AV reciever so i can upgrade in the future

idk if i'd ever go 5.1.2 but it'd be nice to have that sort of option open to me

[pallid marsh]

Ready to get robbed, my MSRP $3500 mattress was $1,050 with my employees discount

[devout ridge]

mattress MSRP is such BS

[hoary hatch]

Naw be excited
The most expensive thing I've ever purchased was a new mattress/bed set

[pallid marsh]

Not your wedding ring?

[hoary hatch]

Shit you right fam

Although the bed set is the most expensive thing that I get to enjoy

[cosmic gazelle]

ooh nice

the all in one ewaste pc i'm getting has the better shit ass apu in it

[frank cypress]

damn

[frank cypress]

we didn't get a super expensive one, but i don't really mind as long as it stays firm

[cosmic gazelle]

how do we think this guy's gonna game boys

[frank cypress]

and it's better than having a 30yo mattress 😅

i mean, for what it is, the matress i have is still firm af considering it's age and not dirty cause of the protector but it's time for a new one anyways

[pallid marsh]

[hoary hatch]

Mine was pretty budget all things considered, but from Costco so instant W

[frank cypress]

it sounds worse than it is but yeah, needed to go

[pallid marsh]

Did y'all know rtings reviews beds too

[frank cypress]

they do?

wild

[pure garnet]

wheres the upgrade gang

[pallid marsh]

https://www.rtings.com/mattress only 54 so far

[pure garnet]

i probably got more performance out of the 8400 tune on the apex vs my 6400 1:1 tune than i would going 13900ks -> 14900k

[steel stream]

I wonder how they rate them

[frank cypress]

tell that to him

[frank cypress]

oh isn't that surprisingly cheap for a king size mattress?

[slim pebble]

Only reason I see to step up from 13900K to 14900K is that your chip degraded (or your bin is terrible) and you need a new one anyways.

[frank cypress]

common costco W

[hoary hatch]

Yeah it's decent and under $1k

[frank cypress]

if your chip degraded that far, wouldn't you just... warranty it?

[pallid marsh]

Machine and cutting it open

[frank cypress]

wait that's kinda cool

[steel stream]

Interesting

[wraith steeple]

Apparently Uncle Sam is interested in me

[slim pebble]

Yes, unless the warranty is expired or something.

[frank cypress]

i was under the impression they extended the warranty cause of the issues with RPL

[slim pebble]

I also “get” chasing a better bin as well.

I wonder what my casper looks like.

I have a rtings subscription for a reason ig.

Honestly its worth investing in a good mattress

You'll most likely keep it for a decade anyway

[frank cypress]

i think my parents paid like... $600 cad for my double?

[pallid marsh]

Stearns & Foster, which is a subsidiary of Tempur Sealy International. So you sorta got a Kirkland already

[hoary hatch]

So far my cheap Sealy is doing fine

It's good enough until I have a mortgage

[pallid marsh]

As long as the mattress has springs it should be decent

[late atlas]

Yeah tbh my mattress was like £500? For a king size

[hoary hatch]

That KS branded one looks really tall though, might be a pain to find sheets for

[pallid marsh]

It is a pain mine creep off every couple days , and I had to get cat stairs for my 16 yr cat since it was too tall for her

[turbid locust]

@pure garnet should I throw the giga X3D board on the bench first with the 8500G and see where it maxes mem at first or just throw the 9850X3D in and rebuild the daily and just go for a real world tune

[pure garnet]

are you gonna be unhappy if it can't do 8200 daily

if not i'd just build daily, if you are, i'd test with apu

[turbid locust]

I wouldn’t necessarily say “unhappy” but maybe a “aw shucks” yk

what AGESA is that board even on brb

[pure garnet]

latest on latest

got bored last night and looked it up

[hoary hatch]

Get a cat with longer legs

[turbid locust]

word lmao maybe I’ll play with the different refresh modes finally

[pure garnet]

i’ve been meaning to but it won’t be till i get back

[shell void]

yeah this game is NOT better than Pokemon Yellow

[turbid locust]

if it can’t do 8200 I’ll probably attempt 8000c32. My 6K26 kit should be able to do it at reasonable voltages

[turbid locust]

Fire Red Version>>>

[pure garnet]

the thought of opening karhu before i leave for a week over playing games is not amusing

[shell void]

i’ve never played fire red so i’ll let u know when i get there

[turbid locust]

It’s quite peak

[shell void]

i’ve played yellow, diamond, black 1, and X

[turbid locust]

Sometimes I run Karhu for the funsies

[shell void]

replaying yellow atm

[frank cypress]

o

well it's already paid for soooo

[turbid locust]

I hope the X3D mobo and the X3D chip do some crazy fusion meld and do 8600

you guys think if I manually soldered the ram traces to the cpu it would do 8800

[devout tangle]

You could have gotten a King sized Ghost Bed for $100 cheaper like 1ish months ago.

[pure garnet]

i don’t think any of our chips here would do 8600 safely on ambient

[cosmic gazelle]

i can do 8600 safely on ambient

[shell void]

im on my fourth swiftplay match and ive only heard one person speak

[cosmic gazelle]

and my name is chips

[shell void]

when did this game die?

[turbid locust]

Like a year ago

[pure garnet]

overwatch fortnite collab

[turbid locust]

I solo queue into players currently ranked 6 ranks higher than my all time peak rank

the game is chopped lmfao

[brisk jolt]

cant afford mics

[turbid locust]

This is not an excuse in 2026 you can get a nice mic for $25

[steel stream]

Is it ok to cover my cubicle with 50+ exit signs during my internship

[brisk jolt]

nuh uh

[wraith steeple]

[brisk jolt]

we can afford overkill motherboards and 9800x3ds+ overkill gpus but we do not consider mics a necessity in 2026

[merry stirrup]

if you think that way i’ll cry fr

[turbid locust]

My bad $30

[merry stirrup]

any mic is better than none

just give me coms bro

[pallid marsh]

They feel very cheap and light

[turbid locust]

Idk I’ve had no mic players ping the map for info better than some peoples coms LMAO

[pallid marsh]

Hey thats my mic

[pure garnet]

nobody coms in swift play

[brisk jolt]

nobody afaik below diamond even comms

[pure garnet]

mics in swift are just people saying random shit

[turbid locust]

that or screaming slurs

[devout tangle]

I mean what you gonna buy for $300 CAD?

[brisk jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/satoko-higurashi-rika-furude-anime-beating-with-chair-gif-21357700

[turbid locust]

I’ve had the same mic for like 5 years

AT2020 USB supremacy

[pallid marsh]

Lottery tickets, use the profit on a $3500 mattress

[devout tangle]

You wish.

[pure garnet]

i got a quad cast s for christmas and i’m keeping it till it dies

[trim agate]

Cap

Initiate it in comp and you’re likely going to find comms

[turbid locust]

I’ve considered upgrading my audio setup several times but like I just don’t care lmao

[trim agate]

Or at least they’ll follow it (granted you’re making half decent plans)

[pure garnet]

i'll swap motherboards like 8 times in a year but i won't buy new speakers or mics until i absolutely have to

[turbid locust]

My HD560S’ get plenty loud, USB mic is fine, and speakers are solid.

No interface no bullshit

[pure garnet]

the only reason i even HAVE speakers is because my mom bought me them

[trim agate]

I care like once a year and that’s when I upgrade my audio

[frank cypress]

i think my parents bought beautyrest GL2 cause they were on sale

[trim agate]

Once I upgrade it I forget about it

I bought a AT2040 and Scarlett solo idk why

My speakers were a 10/10 purchase though would buy again

[turbid locust]

Isn’t this a bundle on amazon

[trim agate]

Not here

[frank cypress]

oh i bought two of those, cause they were selling refurb at bestbuy

[pure garnet]

i used to just crank the headset volume so loud i could hear it with them sitting on my desk but that method was not approved so she bought me speakers from floppa's favorite store

[turbid locust]

https://a.co/d/0itym3oZ yeah $230 bangeroo’s

[trim agate]

?????

[pure garnet]

doesn't get better than this since this was free

[trim agate]

I got mine for cheaper hehe

Probably about $200

[turbid locust]

But yeah I just like don’t care. I like my headphones and nobody complains about my mic so lol

[trim agate]

I got my AT2040 on sale, interface was base price

[frank cypress]

oh i fucking lied

they were atr2100x lol

[trim agate]

Idk why every now and then I care

[turbid locust]

Dude whatever this allergy or sinus congestion or whatever the fuck this is needs to stop

[trim agate]

At the moment I can’t give a shit anymore but I’m feeling the urge to upgrade my IEMs/headphones

[brisk jolt]

god I still know someone using a HORRIBLE mic that you’d be hearing them in 240p

and you can hear WHATEVER video or music they fuckin play.

[turbid locust]

I tried IEMs once and they were not comfortable

I don’t think I could ever go back to a closed back setup

[trim agate]

They feel less heavy on my ears and head overall

[brisk jolt]

same

[trim agate]

I’m speaker user 100% until it’s time to join a VC or play a comp game

[turbid locust]

My HD560S’ are mad light imo so

[turbid locust]

I need to use mine more

[trim agate]

Nah but hair gets all messy and it’s #notfun

[turbid locust]

I don’t got too much hair to deal with

[trim agate]

Especially after a shower

[shell void]

open back headphones with a suspension headstrap sound the best and are most comfortable to me, but all headphones dent my scalp so i rarely wear them

speakers 90% of the time and IEMs for voice chats or late at night

[trim agate]

I wanna buy open back headphones

That’s the only thing i’d buy for my audio setup now I think

That and a better 1/4 jack to 3.5mm adapter

[turbid locust]

I need to embrace the speaker life

[steel stream]

Get Meze 109 pro

[turbid locust]

I bought MR3’s and barely use em

[devout ridge]

I have a pair of 3.5in studio monitors on my desk and just use those half the time

[trim agate]

+1

[shell void]

yeah that's a nice strap but itll still dent my scalp

[steel stream]

Also @turbid locust I realized that covering my cubicle in exit signs might send the wrong message

[shell void]

i guess the top of my head is just soft

[trim agate]

It’s way easier and your life will become happier and you’ll find a girlfriend and you’ll also make more money at your job and you’ll gain 40 charisma points

[turbid locust]

It’s just that if I’m on my pc, there’s a 90% chance I’m playing a competitive FPS game

So like headphones are the way

[steel stream]

My hifimans are pretty comfy with the headband, but the ear pads are ok

Sennheiser has nice ear pads

[turbid locust]

My stock earpads are getting a bit worn now

[brisk jolt]

I keep forgetting I have a speaker tbh

[shell void]

my hifiman sundara are extremely comfy and have a light suspension headstrap, but still head dent

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-thanos-snap-gif-8045987460909459081

Inevitable.

[brisk jolt]

@trim agate i just saw a van pass by looking like it smoked 20 cigs this morning

holy shit

[turbid locust]

Idk what the aftermarket earpad market looks like but I do NOT like that shitty pleather type material

[trim agate]

I saw someone run to the gym, spend an hour running on the treadmill, and run out of the gym

[steel stream]

Damn soft skull, I think you need to wear a helmet out and about

[shell void]

i think id need a headphone with really strong clamp force so that none of the weight is resting ontop of my head, but that would be really uncomfortable

alternatively IEMs are just fine

[trim agate]

Find me open back headphones at a similar price to what I paid for my Edifier M whatever’s and I’ll love you

[brisk jolt]

i will never understand people running in the gym

like mf just do it outside

[trim agate]

Nah running in treadmill is chill

[trim agate]

But then it’s hot and humid and sad

[steel stream]

How much did you pay again

[brisk jolt]

i forgot to drink coffee

[steel stream]

I gotta remember the price point

[brisk jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/femme-soule-pukey-goddess-shot-trick-drunken-goddess-reflux-gif-12181851530391189499

[trim agate]

Probably about like $100 usd

[trim agate]

I hit the gym for the first time before work and I might do this from now on

[brisk jolt]

I kinda want to hit the gym but I cant justify it tbh

[steel stream]

I gotta scratch my noggin for that one

[trim agate]

It’s worth

[brisk jolt]

ion even know where to start :/

[trim agate]

LOCK IN /j

[trim agate]

Skip the PPL and just do UL

[mossy yarrow]

I need a critique

[turbid locust]

Yeah same I gotta see my surroundings moving or it fucks me up

[brisk jolt]

what do those even mean XDDDDD

[trim agate]

Gym splits

Push Pull Legs
Upper Lower

[mossy yarrow]

Personally the AIO tubes are kinda ugly

How we looking rn

[trim agate]

Basically just train the top half of your body on one day, and the lower half the next day

[devout ridge]

One of the most average builds of all times

[mossy yarrow]

Basically

[steel stream]

Look for Hifiman Sundara refurbished/ open box

[trim agate]

I have this at home except the case is white and I turned of all my RGB

[brisk jolt]

i lack the capability to know and do allat myself

[trim agate]

And the AIO is on top

[trim agate]

TikTok is your best friend here honestly

[turbid locust]

Too much RGB, gpu not fat enough

[shell void]

you need a new graphics card

[mossy yarrow]

Well this is a cheap as possible build but I appreciate the critique

[dense granite]

lol

[turbid locust]

oh shit I just realized I will finally (besides my gpu being grey instead of black), I will finally have a full stealth mode build.

[brisk jolt]

maybe in june ill consider

[pure garnet]

eh that's ddr4 just build a whole new system

[mossy yarrow]

I was going to sell it but one of my buddies from NC has been wanting a PC for a while so this is a gift

[trim agate]

Goodness me these are not close to $100 unfortunately

[turbid locust]

Who wants to help me plastidip my 5090 black

[shell void]

tridentZ RGB ram and a corsair rgb aio, but a gtx 1060 🔥

[trim agate]

😭

[pure garnet]

how my 7800x3d/980ti system feels

[steel stream]

Yeah sorry in the US they’re $140 so I figured maybe a shot

[trim agate]

Go to ActiveSG first before considering any other membership

[dense granite]

Primer and spray paint.

[mossy yarrow]

The 1660s still plays games pretty good. I got 60 fps in fh6 1080p med and 60 fps in hd2

[brisk jolt]

listen I gotta play FH6 and grind that shit first

[mossy yarrow]

It's old but it'll work for a 1st time PC user

[turbid locust]

Why would I put a permanent solution on a 2 thousand dollar gpu

[brisk jolt]

I installed the brake kit yesterday and I can hardly move it with my hand

[trim agate]

Yeah unlucky, cheapest used one is ~170 USD and that’s not a price I’m willing to pay for something I don’t think I’ll use often

[brisk jolt]

They have the creds to use right

[trim agate]

I think you’re given $100 automatically if you sign up with SingPass

You can get a 6 month gym membership with that

[brisk jolt]

in my defense the way it was, facing up and pressing against it in that direction is not optimal

[shell void]

mac i think it's time for 🥃

[trim agate]

Afterwards you can continue paying at student price

[dense granite]

I was thinking of doing this to my 7900 XTX when I had that.

[turbid locust]

Always

[brisk jolt]

you also use the activesg gym?

[dense granite]

Someone in this server did that infact for a white build.
