I do not miss my 7900XTX at all. Hot ahh gpu.

[dense granite]

fr

[shell void]

i have owned a total of two radeon GPUs and they both hit 110c hotspot right out of the box

[trim agate]

Used to but the one I was going to with my friend closed down for maintenance and the next closest one was way too far away

I’ve settled on 24/7 fitness

[turbid locust]

PTM fixed it on my 7900XTX fortunately enough

[brisk jolt]

how’re the prices for it

[shell void]

amd overclocking their GPUs to 1.2v out of the box to compete with Nvidia causing them to be known for terrible hotspot temps and coil whine

[trim agate]

I signed up for a presale so I’m paying 88 a month

[steel stream]

Worth it

[pallid marsh]

[turbid locust]

@shell void not that I care about aesthetics, but should I try the LF3 again despite it being louder now? Feel like 240mm AIO would look kinda weird in the 216X.

But, with the 240mm I could have a intake fan from the top on that last spot and it would probably assist with ram temps

[shell void]

if you want the best cpu temps on am5 then yeah liquid freezer 3/3pro is king

you should try setting the pump speed to 40% in order to make it quieter

in my testing there's no performance difference going above 40% pump on the lf3 420 on a 9800X3D

there's just not enough heat output for it to matter

[turbid locust]

tbh my cpu temp requirement is “doesn’t go above 85C” and the 240mm does that quietly

I just think the 240 would look odd in that big ahh case

BUT the LF3 does have that silly little ass VRM fan built into the head that has been known to improve ram temps as well technically

but god the LF3s mounting system sucks so much

[shell void]

it drops the spd temp on my leftmost dimm by a few degrees

[turbid locust]

deadass I think like 5 more mounts the screws on the block will strip

[shell void]

true

[turbid locust]

which is usually the hotter of the two. Ram fan can’t get at that one too well

But I will be on a 4 dimmer this go around so maybe it doesn’t matter

(Mac willingly buying a 4 dimmer in 2026 wtaf)

[shell void]

im on a 4 dimmer too and even with that extra help the left dimm is still hotter

[turbid locust]

hmmm

[shell void]

it's probably just down to how your ram fan is placed

mine is ziptied to my aio tubes and mostly hits the right dimm

[turbid locust]

I don’t have a great way to mount it atm

[edgy laurel]

@steel stream ok this one is good. https://youtu.be/V2lEgMHF2Fo

I love that shit

[shell void]

twitter's advertisement algorithm thinks that im a 45 year old man

i guess you could come to that conclusion if you looked at my following list which only includes tech channels

[pure garnet]

i have the dimm.2 grilling my right dimm so they're equal

[steel stream]

Damn will have to watch, been loving this content recently

[turbid locust]

Wait a sec Mike if I switch back to LF3 that means I have to suffer with P12’s again

[shell void]

no you dont

just screw new fans on

[turbid locust]

[shell void]

although buying a $100 set of high end fans for a LF3 is kinda silly

[turbid locust]

Agree

[edgy laurel]

this house reminds me of your fathers house in the recent tomb raider games. rich nerd builds a smart home but in victorian era so its all steampunky hydraulic machinery. super neat.

plus the setting

I just wanna live there

[shell void]

i found a guy who's even more enthusiastic about intel than i am

im guessing he's invested because he's posting on twitter

[cosmic gazelle]

me when i schizopost about pure conjecture

[steel stream]

Sweeeet

[steel stream]

Only 2.0X?

[shell void]

i still dont know what theyre choosing for stock power limits on that top 52 core model so i cant really analyze the 2x multithread performance statement

[turbid locust]

I should 3D Print something to attach to the PSU side of my 12VHPWR cable to stop it from being able to be bent

[cosmic gazelle]

it’s so laughable to me that people are loyal to a specific chip manufacturer and treat it like a political race instead of just waiting til it comes out and buying whatever’s faster

[shell void]

yeah im not a fanboy of intel the processor designer

im a fanboy of intel foundry who is making chips for several companies

[steel stream]

3D print your own cable duh

[low sorrel]

Mac can you explain why there's so many American flags in the US

[cosmic gazelle]

like for all we know zen 6 could be faster than intel by 14 gigashits per megawatt

[turbid locust]

[shell void]

i will never call it X

[turbid locust]

X gon give it to em

[shell void]

[cosmic gazelle]

i don’t think i’ll ever mentally think of it as anything but twitter

[turbid locust]

[steel stream]

There’s one way to find out

[turbid locust]

Nah

I’ve spent enough money recently

Planning for a vacation in July and need to save for that

[steel stream]

Yeah that’s more worth it

Where you thinking about

[turbid locust]

[pallid marsh]

And by Florida you mean stealing from snail?

[steel stream]

It’s called borrowing

[low sorrel]

What about X formerly twitter

[low sorrel]

Yes fuck you mac

[low sorrel]

I will make Mac and cheese with your corpse

[steel stream]

I don’t know how you could make cheese or pasta

[turbid locust]

Why is it easier to find guns then MREs

[steel stream]

I told floppa to get his ass bro

why are you looking for dry food in a bag

[low sorrel]

It's not that bad

[turbid locust]

MREs are kinda lit. The chilli one bro.

[low sorrel]

Right @wise bear

[wise bear]

huh

[pure garnet]

jerry you had a keylogger for months on your phone

[low sorrel]

I also got scammed the last time I tried to buy them

[wise bear]

yeah chili mac mre = 🔥

[low sorrel]

They are shitting on me for trying to buy mres

[pure garnet]

any opinion you have is immediately thrown into the nearest waste receptacle

[low sorrel]

And I didn't lose any money

[wise bear]

LOL

[wise bear]

you lost your passwords

but yeaqh like, bad opsec bro

[pure garnet]

[merry stirrup]

true

[low sorrel]

I reinforced my password security from that incident

[wise bear]

*dont

[pure garnet]

nah it’s can’t too he got rejected from mcdonald’s

[wise bear]

are you using bitwarden or equivalent, are you now setting reminders to rotate your passwords every three months, are you using proper MFA

[pure garnet]

jerry added a dollar sign to end of his password he uses for everything and called it a day

[wise bear]

https://tenor.com/view/spider-man2-spider-man-j-jonah-jameson-tobey-maguire-peter-parker-gif-26416399

[low sorrel]

I am using MFA on accounts I care about and proton password manager

[wise bear]

Rotate your passwords and stop downloading sketchy shit on the app store

[pallid marsh]

Because no one buys mres

[low sorrel]

[steel stream]

no don't think so this time

[pure garnet]

did bro put allegedly on 10mph over

that’s margin of error cruising speed

[steel stream]

bro if my parents were in the car I got yelled at for going 5 over

[turbid locust]

5-10 over is just the norm

That’s why they won’t raise the speed limits in KY

[steel stream]

I go like 80-90 on the highways here

and then 5 over on roads with speed limits lower than 55

[low sorrel]

That stupid

It a speed a limit

Don't question why in Vancouver 1.5x is the norm

[turbid locust]

I’m a 10-15 over guy personally but it just depends on where I’m at

[low sorrel]

10-15 over in a school zone?

[turbid locust]

My whole drive to work is a 45 zone and it’s unusual for me to not be doing 55

[turbid locust]

I speed up to about 20-25 over in those areas

[low sorrel]

What happens if you see a family of 4 crossing the road

guys welcome to anti x linux on an early 2009 imac

actually isnt as bad as i expected

[slim pebble]

They’re joking, your build is peak.

https://tenor.com/view/arknights-arknights-endfield-perlica-endmin-baby-perlica-gif-1975267551454823672

[pure garnet]

i mean it's objectively not peak since it's not a lightning z, a matrix, or a pro 6000, or a 9950x3d2

[tepid scroll]

Like what more do I need to add to it I have the damn btf build no wires to the gpu

[wheat shore]

works well enough for web browsing, tommorow im gonna try emulation. any game suggestions?

[pure garnet]

it was just obvious decent hardware dumb question

[slim pebble]

CL36 memory might have some funny 1% lows in a few titles, but overall it’s fine on an X3D

[slim pebble]

Software. Install the latest chipset drivers for the 9950X3D, set balanced power plan.

[tepid scroll]

Yeah and I got the Asus rog Strix 1200w plat psu

[tepid scroll]

Why specifically“balanced” ?

[cosmic gazelle]

balanced is the most optimized core scheduler afaik

[wheat shore]

i finally installed linux on an imac

[slim pebble]

It allows the chipset X3D driver to park half of your cores and use the cache CCD instead.

If you don’t have a use case for the second CCD, the 9850/9800 X3D processors are the best gaming chips.

[tepid scroll]

Instead of putting the machine in performance mode in windows settings ?

[slim pebble]

I’d have bought a 9800x3d and spent the extra cash on faster ram.

[cosmic gazelle]

yes performance power plan is worse on basically all modern hardware for the most part

[tepid scroll]

Ok will note that

I’ll be rocking the lian li setup with o11 vision compact,hydro shift aio and uni fans reversed. What ya think @slim pebble @cosmic gazelle

[slim pebble]

Cosmetics won’t matter much for performance, so long as you like the aesthetics

[cosmic gazelle]

[pure garnet]

[cosmic gazelle]

oh thank goodness

[cosmic gazelle]

xinput emulator works i was gonna crash out that i couldn't get steam input to run

because xbox version

[tepid scroll]

Just waiting for last parts aio,psu and the fans then im set baby case

Wanna see a close up view of the gpu

[brisk jolt]

all hail astral coil whine lottery

[tepid scroll]

I’m from Sweden this build fully cost me like 7500usd in total

[brisk jolt]

I don't know how much mine cost nor am I willing to calculate

[cosmic gazelle]

UNSKIPPABLE 30FPS CUTSCENE

kill me

[tepid scroll]

Can the gpu wires that’s connected to the back of the motherboard still melt if I’m in btf mode ?

Or does btf mode solve the issue of melting wires

[cosmic gazelle]

@pure garnet i'm using the exact settings hwunboxed put as their "performance" preset on 1440 dlss q and getting 130-150fps

[pure garnet]

i think im on their quality but dlss balanced 4k

[cosmic gazelle]

ya boy dont got the vram for dat

[tepid scroll]

Kyoko do you know the answer to my question ?

[pure garnet]

it's the same connector pulling the same amperage

[pure garnet]

i won't in a day

[tepid scroll]

So same shit even in btf mode ?

[pure garnet]

i gotta cram this game onto a 4050 mobile for my trip

[cosmic gazelle]

oh yeah even on the performance preset with dlss q i'm using 8.7gb of vram

i would have to seriously sacrifice other settings to use rt

[tepid scroll]

Those btf editions are rare right ?

[brisk jolt]

I'm not even sure my 5060ti egpu beats a 4050 mobile

[pure garnet]

so rare newegg sells them

[pure garnet]

nah it's like a 1070ti desktop so it 100% does

[tepid scroll]

What’s that’s supposed to mean ?

[brisk jolt]

But only 40gbps and max is like... Barely 100w

BTF so rare it's the only 5090 astral variant in stock in SG fr

[cosmic gazelle]

if you dont play on these settings ur a chud

or you're just better than me at racing games if you play on harder settings lmao

[brisk jolt]

no manual+clutch so you’re a chud /s

[pure garnet]

im not touching the difficulty settings until i get the controls fixed

i've opened rewind trying to upshift 30 times

[cosmic gazelle]

manual clutch on controller is so fucking stupid feeling i'm sorry

i know people say it's faster or whatever

[brisk jolt]

not really

you cant really beat a DCT with a 3 pedal hpattern in shift speed

since when you shift up you need to lift off the gas and requires quick feet

[cosmic gazelle]

also like

unless you're really desperate for credits who in the world is playing with no abs

that just sounds horrible

[tepid scroll]

Is it a good idea to undervolt the 5090 for better thermal and power performance ?

[brisk jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/arvou-s2000-hotversion-gif-23898239

[pure garnet]

i use manual because i think the auto shift was designed by dodge the way it barely works

[brisk jolt]

yes

[cosmic gazelle]

it's like so much faster to use manual it's crazy

auto will have you at like 3000 rpm in 5th

[brisk jolt]

with manual you get pretty good engine braking and better powerband assuming you dont drive like a chud

[cosmic gazelle]

i also think rewind is stupid and hate accidentally pressing it so i play with it off

if i need to rewind ima just reset the run because it flags rivals times anyways

[brisk jolt]

theres no rewind button irl so i just have it off

[cosmic gazelle]

buddy wants realism in a game where setting your ride height to maximum makes your car faster

kyoko why do all of the avatars look like they uh

i don't know if i can continue that sentence

[slim pebble]

I blocked my Aorus Master, there is definitely some coil whine

[tepid scroll]

Should I buy cl30 ram or is the ones I have now fine ?@slim pebble

[cosmic gazelle]

back to what i used on fh4

[slim pebble]

CL30 is probably the sweet spot for price/performance on 6000 memory, or it used to be

[low sorrel]

@pure garnet hop onlilbro

[tepid scroll]

So is that a yes ?

[slim pebble]

Yes

[low sorrel]

potatoisbest

[slim pebble]

I don’t think the C26 or C28 are worth it

[cosmic gazelle]

why would you buy a new kit of ram for like 2% performance though

if you already have ram

[tepid scroll]

The ram stick I have costed me 560 dollars

[cosmic gazelle]

holy CUTSCENE BRO just let me play the game 😭

[low sorrel]

im a chud i don't use manual gears

[pallid marsh]

yall got $122k i could have?

[brisk jolt]

I simply use my PC and have iems on so idek if mine have noticeable whine anyway

[brisk jolt]

[indigo walrus]

Age, and licensing, respectively.

[low sorrel]

but the cosworth is older

[cosmic gazelle]

cossie was in the past games. they're more than likely just saving it for a dlc pack to grub money

[indigo walrus]

Correct, however, many places consider 20-25 years old to be "retro" / enough for collectors plates. Sometimes the car can be younger if it was a limited production run.

[low sorrel]

no no it's in the game

but i can't use it for the retro rally event

[cosmic gazelle]

oh what's the cosworth considered

historically they've treated it as a high performance rally car rather than a retro rally car because of ken block

[low sorrel]

i never even touched the fh5 campaign

i just tune the cars

that was on for way too long

[low sorrel]

hey anna is not that bad

[cosmic gazelle]

worst part about horizon games

@pure garnet extreme night shadows are incredibly beautiful compared to past games

[low sorrel]

rwd rally is so ass in snow lol

[pure garnet]

i uninstalled 5 already but it was a crazy difference in performance

[cosmic gazelle]

i actually think this game is more visually impressive at a given level of performance personally

[pure garnet]

oh i just meant i went from maxing my refresh and max settings to

“i should turn a few things down”

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah but fh5 max is like this game on high

[pure garnet]

Should I use the 5960x & (repaired) X99A SLI Plus as a stopgap system till I upgrade to AM4

[maiden prairie]

do you have anything else and do you own this ?

[civic reef]

It's $50 for the 5960x & X99A SLI Plus

The board just needs a replacement IC Chip, allegedly

[maiden prairie]

And how long would you have to wait for am4 ?

[civic reef]

I currently own a b85m, i7 4770, and 2x8 of 1600

[maiden prairie]

ok lol keep your config

[civic reef]

Realistically.. 3 or so months, at the minimum

[maiden prairie]

Keep it

I've had x99 for years, and friends too, even back in the days the motherboards weren't super reliable

and it's not like it will be super fast anyway, it will still be outdated

[civic reef]

Fair enough ig

[maiden prairie]

And just the logistic of changing the chip etc ... not worth it

[civic reef]

Would the slightly newer architecture and four extra cores help to a significant degree over Haswell?

[maiden prairie]

if it works

[civic reef]

Lol yeah, also the possibility of that not being the only fault

[maiden prairie]

It would hep but it's a waste of time and money

Just wait a bit and play older games idk then you'll buy am4/5

[civic reef]

I guess that's also fair

[civic reef]

AM5 is a bit of a stretch, lest I wait even longer or go single channel

[maiden prairie]

x99 was the first dd4 platform, we had so much stability issues with just ram

And just the boards were always randomly faulty etc

[maiden prairie]

single channel for the memory ? Yeah i mean that's not the worse and at some point you could buy another stick or whatever
but i don't really know the budget nor current prices

I do now I've seen a 9600x going for 125eur brand new lol and that is insane

[civic reef]

First DDR4 platform.. Oh my days

[civic reef]

Cheapest AM5 I've seen is an 8500G.. 160 Euro ;w;

A 9600X is 170

There used to be 7400Fs for 105, but no more

[maiden prairie]

yeah
I remember with a group of people on some forum we were always arguing about how a 5820k was the best thing to buy instead or normal i7 because of the 6c and people were like "naaah useless", turns out it was NOT useless at all haha

Still, don't buy that

[civic reef]

The 5820K is still normal LGA 1150 Haswell, right?

Also, yeah, no interest in staying on DDR3

[maiden prairie]

on aliexpress i've seen cheaper

And yes it's reliable, i've bought multiple amd cpu on aliexpress and my friends too, probably more than 10 cpu in total, never had a single issue

[maiden prairie]

no it's not, it was x99, the cheaper one

I had overclocked this bad boy by a whopping 50% 😎

[civic reef]

Oh right, 5770C or such was Haswell I think?

[maiden prairie]

Some haswell refresh yeah

broadwell ?

[civic reef]

AliExpress is a bit of a stretch in my case, shipping prices ~w~

That, or the month-long wait

[maiden prairie]

Aren't you in EU ?

[civic reef]

Nnnoope

I was just mentioning Euros to keep the currency consistent

[topaz veldt]

AM5 will never catch on

[maiden prairie]

I never wait one month on aliexpress, not more than on amazon, except for custom order (which I do yes)

But yeah if you do live in some remote places ...

[civic reef]

Lemme check rq what the estimated delivery time for a 7500F is

[maiden prairie]

Still, am4 will be fine I guess, just don't buy x99

[civic reef]

$59 shipping
21st of July till it arrives, so probably by start of August

[civic reef]

Yeah AM4 is my only realistic budget option

LGA 1700 sure, but kinda expensive

[maiden prairie]

Well you do seem to know enough about computers to know what's best in terms of price were you live

[civic reef]

Been keeping updated since January of 2025.. Back in those days LGA 1700 & AM4 were cheaper..
AM5 was also cheap enough to be considered for budget builds ~w~

[maiden prairie]

yeah 🙁

I kind of want to upgrade one of my computers but the ram prices are super annoying

So I guess I could just upgrade the 9600x to a 9800x3d and swap the 12600k to a less important computer

[civic reef]

$125 for a 7400F, $120 for a B650, and as little as $80 for DDR5...

[civic reef]

Is the 12600K PC DDR4 or 5?

[maiden prairie]

ddr4 which is the whole problem haha

[civic reef]

Oh lol, fair I guess x3

[civic reef]

What will you do with your resulting free 9600X?

[maiden prairie]

probably sell it

what do you want me to do with it lol

[civic reef]

CPUs make great appetisers y'know

My old i5 4460 went down nicely with some red wine

[maiden prairie]

i've played baseball once with a core2quad

it was still working after

[civic reef]

That's hilarious

How'd you not scratch the backside or something?

Oh so I found out that my gpu whines when the fans are spinning, but I've heard a failing fan before and this is definitely not that

Is it possible that any power sent to the fans can cause coil whine?

Its not loud nor does it really change all that much outside of pitch with how much power is sent either to the gpu or the fans, I think it might just be a minor manufacturing defect

That or its actually just coil whine like I think, which is normal

btw my new favorite toy is https://herdr.dev/ - it is something like tmux, except:

1. you can have multiple projects (called spaces)
2. each project can have multiple tabs
3. if you start an agent in any tab of any project, it is dropped in the agents list, which also shows the status of said agent (idle, working, blocked etc) and you can quick switch to the tab of the space where that agent is just by clicking on the agent name in the list

only drawback is that it is Unix based, so on Windows you have to use WSL for it

not even to be mean but in this market you can't build anything worthwhile at $400

ill probably buy a thinkpad i guess

[pure garnet]

just save your money?

[devout ridge]

save till you can get something actually worth the money

[brisk jolt]

yo i swear these walls are fully turning into me!

i find the AI to be alright except for when they become Mercedes drivers

[pure garnet]

i’ve just been playing like chick hicks

[brisk jolt]

dude the AI behind you seem to not brake at all

I keep getting backshots and the guardrail just keeps fully turning into me

[nova patrol]

what

[cosmic gazelle]

horizon devs cannot figure out how to make an ai that doesn't rubber band which is really annoying

they haven't really iterated on the ai since 3

[brisk jolt]

ngl on wheel I really hate 3rd person

I find either cockpit or hood cam to be the only viable ones on wheel

maybe its because I have TCS disabled so I need to be wary and catch the rear slipping

[cosmic gazelle]

there was a good bit where i was setting competitive rivals times and cockpit was the only viable camera

i use 3rd person because i like looking at my car and hearing the exhaust

but cockpit is a lot better for actually driving well

[brisk jolt]

ngl I feel uncomfortable not having telemetry on my pedal inputs

Im prob gonna lookup a guide for that

[brisk jolt]

moza doesnt work out of the box with ffb on fh6 btw

[floral spear]

but it will later on yes?

[brisk jolt]

https://support.mozaracing.com/en/support/solutions/articles/70000683812-forza-horizon-6 this is how u get it to work

also u need xbox gaming service installed on microsoft store

[floral spear]

\What the helly

[cosmic gazelle]

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-set-to-launch-ryzen-7-7700x3d-with-8-cores-and-96mb-l3-cache 500mhz less boost clock is hella disapppointing

[floral spear]

why is it on extreme my pc aint that good

[cosmic gazelle]

extreme non rt is not that hard to run

[hoary hatch]

AM4 holdouts in shambles rn

[cosmic gazelle]

zzzz 7500x3d with 2 extra cores

big whoop

[brisk jolt]

extreme is ezpz

extreme RT however is a different story

[floral spear]

weird

I cant steer

[brisk jolt]

read the moza support link i sent bruh

[cosmic gazelle]

@brisk jolt it's such a relief that the auction house is normal again

there was an infinite money glitch in fh5 that basiaclly killed the auction house

[brisk jolt]

LMAO

ive never played FH5

[cosmic gazelle]

it was really sad because the auction house was a great way to get rid of excess cars you didn't want

and it just became unusable

[floral spear]

oh my god the gamepaly is so good

GOTY 2026 GTA 6 sucks

[cosmic gazelle]

lol it's 2026 you will have to wait for 15 minutes to play your game

that's a given at this point

[floral spear]

wait you waited for 15 minutes?

[cosmic gazelle]

no i was just exaggerating

[floral spear]

this was a mistake

[brisk jolt]

First time in a long while Ive played a game for hours straight with built up excitement from the day and still excited after dinner

[brisk jolt]

just run it at 100

[floral spear]

the ffb is making me jerk to the left xd

[brisk jolt]

hahahahahahaha 8 core peasants

grandma lisa couldnt afford to give you an ACTUAL CPU for a affordably price /s

[floral spear]

this idiot looks familiar

[pure garnet]

not for the 4050 mobile

[cosmic gazelle]

i’m gonna try 1600p fsr balanced minimum settings on my 760m laptop and see what happens

[floral spear]

I'm in love

[low sorrel]

Oh to the left lmfao

@brisk jolt @pure garnet @cosmic gazelle whatcha think about fh6

[cosmic gazelle]

it’s fun

feels more iterative from fh5 than fh5 was to fh4

day 1 patch dropped @pure garnet @brisk jolt

[frank zealot]

Day1 Patch1

Wait for Day1 Patch2

[storm hatch]

I haven't enjoyed the last forzas horizons I've debating on getting this one i guess I'm not big into racing

I like beamng and since I started playing it a few years ago it ruined forza 😭

[cosmic gazelle]

@brisk jolt the background announcer during the qualifier pronounced countach as count tack

how to tell a car game is not made by car people, yikes

[sharp heart]

maybe the announcer isnt a car person and the QA missed this?

still L

[turbid locust]

My only complaint for this game is your starter car means nothing. You get all three of them regardless of what you choose lol.

[pure garnet]

hasn’t that been every forza

[turbid locust]

No

I don’t remember it being a thing in Horizon 1 or 3. I think it was thing in 5?

[spiral quarry]

Lol the randomly gifted Porsche Taycans still lives on

[devout ridge]

Got a blueray player for free, so now i can rip my DVDs

[steel stream]

Is it a 4K one?

[devout ridge]

No idea, about to find out

[young void]

I need a good one for the pc in the future when I can swing it

[steel stream]

Best of luck 🫡

[devout ridge]

Well actually i am not about to find out, the blueray i grabbed to test with is only 1080p

lemme go grab a 4k one, then we'll find out

[young void]

Data preservation is important

[devout ridge]

Turns out i can't find any 4k bluerays

[young void]

Ya know actually

[devout ridge]

Most of these DVD's are 10+ years old

[young void]

If that new ps5 exploit allows linux

That myte be a solid solution

[devout ridge]

Also, is 48 minutes for a single 1080p blueray normal with MakeMKV?

[young void]

Ps5 has one of the best disc readers ive seen curious if it has write functionality

[steel stream]

Damn

Gotta step up your game

[devout ridge]

My DVD collection is old

[steel stream]

Unc

[young void]

Just read but still solid i suppose

[devout ridge]

Some of these are quite literally older than i am

[steel stream]

Chunc

[young void]

I just boxed a bunch of mine up making space for kids arts and crafts cubby

[devout ridge]

I've been meaning to rip all my DVD's for ages now, but now that i got a free blueray player i might actually do it

[young void]

Better sooner then later

[steel stream]

Is yours one of the supported ones?

[devout ridge]

Is what one of what supported ones

[steel stream]

Blu-ray

Iirc only certain models can rip

[devout ridge]

It's bloody working, so i suppose so

[devout oxide]

760k folders HOLY

[steel stream]

Cool

[devout ridge]

more folders than files

[steel stream]

I might just be tweaking

[young void]

Not sure avg time but seems solid

[devout oxide]

yup

[devout ridge]

It's also ticking through that time faster than it says

it's going through 5-10s every second

I also picked the best movie ever made as a test drive, Friday

[young void]

https://tenor.com/view/friday-gif-22460364

[devout ridge]

Looks like it found the real movie file, first file to be above 1GB

i forget just how fat full quality blueray files are

[low sorrel]

It's only like 100gb

[devout ridge]

ONLY?

[wise bear]

steam y

i have reinstalled steam

it will not let me fucking play forza

[devout ridge]

i lied, this current file is now above 10gb

[pallid marsh]

Tuesday is steam maintenance day maybe it's fucking with it

[wise bear]

it was like this yesterday too

[devout ridge]

No FH6 for you

[wise bear]

OH NOW IT WORKS

the MOMENT i start complaining

im so annoyed

[pallid marsh]

Clearly I fixed it for you

[wise bear]

shut

[pallid marsh]

< all powerful

[cosmic gazelle]

good to know online racing is still gonna suck because people can still ram you if they do it strategically

and the game just arbitrarily decides whether it's gonna give you a decel for wall collisions or not

[spiral quarry]

sounds about right for any multiplayer simcade and sim lobby lol.

[pallid marsh]

https://x.com/i/status/2056419543589777439 wtf is this

NikTek (@NikTek)

I find it hilarious how trees in Forza Horizon 6 are the polar opposite of the indestructible trees in Grand Theft Auto games.

These ones are so easy to destroy and you lose little to no momentum while driving through them

Always stuck in the back unless I know I have an advantage and rammed some of the people ramming others intentionally.

[low sorrel]

Everyone playing fh6 lol

[low sorrel]

I love when I lightly tap the wall and lose like 10 seconds

After getting rammed

[civic reef]

Salary within the week, should be buying my upgrades within the next week atleast

[floral spear]

Fucking delicious but which one?

[fringe vigil]

white

[floral spear]

why is it in the wrong side

[fringe vigil]

americans

[floral spear]

W or L? @brisk jolt

[fringe vigil]

mx5 w

[green marsh]

i love the complete absurdity of used parts pricing, more so from Intel fanboys - look at first and last board in the picture

a relatively new X870 board for 160 euros or a slowly a decade old Z390 for 150 😄

[pure garnet]

i mean it’s an aorus master i’m not surprised it’s listed high

[south shuttle]

imagine if they would add proper car deformation in fh7

similar to beamng, would be fire

[green marsh]

but also it is Z390. We are at Z890 era now

[pure garnet]

high end am4 boards also still go for decent money

if it was like a z390 gaming it’s one thing but it’s a flagship board so it’s still gonna be worth something

[turbid locust]

I just saw the most “I did no god damn research before building this mf ass build” spec on FBM

who tf pairs a 9900X and a 5060Ti 8GB

And you want two grand for it

[chrome vessel]

Made a github repository

[brittle trellis]

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined

PGG aren't even american

They're British, they drive on the left

[green marsh]

a what gpu ?

[turbid locust]

oh sorry lol, 5060Ti 8GB

[floral spear]

yea thats why im confused

[brittle trellis]

The model was for h5 in Mexico originally

[pallid marsh]

I wish we had a 5080 ti

[turbid locust]

@edgy laurel fasting again. Hopefully it’s easier this time lol

This is only my second time, but since the first one two months ago I’ve been heavily tracking my calorie intake and that’s helped a bit. I am down 23lbs in 60 days 🫡

[devout ridge]

First movie complete, worked flawlessly

Friday in it's glorious 1080p BlueRay Quality

[merry stirrup]

Only problem about ripping your own movies is having to babysit it for every disc

[floral spear]

Man I guess @cosmic gazelle

They gave a McGlaren on the Wheelspin

[cosmic gazelle]

ah catalyst how i didn’t miss you
