like some big companys own most
Bell owns all North American phone lines if I recall correctly
Well another billionaire family
so Bell sets the prices
Im happy im not in that trap there
lol
I was running maximum for a couple of days
until they had enough of me
My whole country is slowly becoming all fiber
But its stil expansive in certain areas but its really cheap for companys atm
lol I just did an Ookla speed test, I get the opposite of throttling XD
125 down, 121 up
Nice
I only pay for 100 each
Most important thing is if you get higher speeds
Just make sure you have decent cable if that cant handle the speeds you will never get it on your system
But if you got the 120 on your system then ur all good
Some people pay for like 100 or more and only get like 50 and then start complaining but dont have the right cable
I mean, I ran the test from my pc that is connected via the cables, so it should be getting that same speed π
Yeah you do
But just laying that one out there
You just dropped ur ip adress
might not want to do that lmfao
Not sure what my speed is atm
yeah, if that was the speed given to me from the router I'd say it might have been a problem, I use a 50 ft cat6 cable, but it seems just fine
lol
Hahaha
not my i.p π
I hope its not
VPN
Good u deleted the pic tho haha
but at the same time, no one needs my current VPN either lol
Im not gonna use it for nothing so idc
but people in the discord could have other ideas
it also said NL, isn't that the Netherlands? lol
Bell Canada thatβs all I saw
yeah the company would come up, but the location would say something different lol
I havent used an vpn since i stopped playing osrs
I use it as I do some streaming every now and then
Since they like to hit you offline in that game while doing pvp
I dont really need it for streaming tbh
I stream on the daily
never had any issues there
Yeah snipers but how would they acces the ip
some games it shows it on screen for a second, using a randomized vpn would show a different one
Arma was bad for that
its pretty bad tbh if some random from the streams gets the ip tho
Yeah true some games you can grab the ip from
But i usually know which games that are IP sensitive tho
generally older games, newer ones are designed with streaming in mind
GTA5 you could pull it somehow aswell
oh yeeaaaah
but that shit is pretty old kinda ish idk if 5 / 6 years is old
I remember one of my friends freaking out about that
yeah
and still sells at full price lol
only Rockstar would have the audacity to sell a game 3 times over
I'm just bitter that they lied a bunch
But its kinda scummy to wait like 1 or 2 years to bring it to the pc
and force the people to buy it again
"GTA V is not coming to next-gen consoles"
"GTA V is not being developed for pc"
that game for online mode kinda flopped
so idk if they will make enough of a pc release
people really only play red dead for the campaign anyways
and GTA 6 is basicly around the corner because PS5 got a slight hint for a release
Because there are enough old western shooters out
Yeah but only reason for them to bring it to pc would be the online community
thats where they make the money on
Honestly though I could do with the single player
i mean mod community on pc stil can do great things to that game
mods, but Rockstar hate modders
they tried to ban people for modding their single player games
Ehehe
mhmm
Idk about game sales
but atleast viewer base for their game
Its consistent number 4 - 5 on the twitch games list
Fortnite or league stil number one and two tho
lmfao
because Roleplay servers typically allow for the most entertainment
at least, the most varied
it's like watching a sitcom, or a latenite talk show etc
league has never piqued my interest, and it still reigning supreme across most pc gaming is nuts to me haha
Well depends on the time of year and if theres actually good games to play
The RP community is pretty dead usually when theres alot of games that are good enough for people to play
depends on the streamers you watch, I guess
Its a up and down cycle of people watching depening on the time of year / game releases
or the folks you play with
I have been involved in the no pixel community since start of arma 3
So i know a decent bit about it
yeah people leave when a new game comes out, but return after the hype from the new game is gone. Sign of a good gameplay mechanic
Yeah
there is always an ebb and flow to games
This year has been a whole lot of different people coming to that type of gameplay tho
Like viewer base
Alot of younger people watching it
well GTA has a big fan base compared to Arma and such
lots more new eyes on the scene
yeah
10 - 17 years old
the viewer numbers dont really drop at the moment but just keep building up even tho its summer
Yeah im 25
summer will just make them go higher as more people are out of school, and no major summer releases this year
I have been gaming since i was 6 or so lmfao
I got my first pc when when we hit the year 2000
And one of my first games was doom on the pc lmfao
#ReaderRabbit games
First game on a console was mario tho
console, hmmm
I remember having an atari we never played much, but I was really into my TurboGrafx 16
back in the day that was big
I played most of the pokemon games at that time aswell
But yeah quake and doom where the first games i really fell in love with
first game I fell in love with was Splatterhouse lol
I dont even know that lmfao
Feels like ive seen it before
Splatterhouse was remade on Xbox 360 I think
I played that game since I was like 3 or 4 lol no fear
pretty much yeah haha
alot of good games came from the old games tbh
League and dota where build on the warcraft 3 maps
splatterhouse came out in 88 though π MK was in 92
lol I was born in 88 in Germany
I was born like 5 km from the german border
and belgium border same distance
lmfao
I'm not sure how far from either border I was lol, born in Lahr I believe
near Baden Wurtemburg
(excuse my spelling, probs butchered that)
yeah I was too young to really know any of that stuff, we left when I was 5
how did you end up in canada or usa?
my dad is Canadian, was stationed in Germany during the Yugoslavian civil war during that time
Ahh and mom german?
nope, canadian as well
Ohh
she moved with him
yeah
Must of been paid out of their own pockets
millitary wont pay for that i believe
no, mil def paid
Really
we were only in PMQs (private military quarters)
military apartments basically
20 units per building
Lucky then i guess now a days that dont happen anymore
not as often, nope
I have some friends from the USA
I think the civil war was a big mess and they wanted Canadian peacekeepers there to make it look like things were under control
that are stil stationed close to the border in south korea
eesh
Yeah nothing happening there tho
They have been pretty bored there
Only thing that happend there recently was all those talks with trump
but thats about it
Before those talks started it was a bit scary situation tho
With some rockets flying over
yeah I can imagine
I refuse to go into military lol
I just can't do it physically or mentally
Yeah my countrys millitary doesnt mean shit anymore
But in USA it stil an honour for family that the younger generation goes
was in cadets, passed out every time we went on the parade square from marching lol
the last instance I hit my head nicely, left a good lump and I quit lol
a few years later I had a back injury from lifting a 500lb piece of driftwood that buckled me in half
I don't lift much anymore, or walk much for that matter
Well i sit 12 hours a day in a chair now so yeah
Lost alot of body strenght by that alone
I mean, that's basically me now too, which isn't much better for our backs lol
Atleast i bought a quality chair
I can feel my legs wasting away
but stil its not the best for your body
yeah sitting is just bad for long periods
I don't even have fat lol
I'm 6'1'' and 150lbs
not fat, not even muscle
just legit skin and bones haha
at 6'5'' I think the average is around 190, I could be wrong though
apparently 187-225 is healthy
5β10 and at 200 lbs
My father is 215 lmfao in cm's
Or 5β11
jaysus got a tall fam
I don't gain easily, and I lose very fast
In a year i could gain 30 kilo
and lose it the next year
Depends on food / medication
I don't know how long it takes me to gain weight, maybe 20Kg in a year at most, but I have lost as much as 10lbs per week
20kg is alot tbh
Most people are concerned when they gain 5kg
but thats mostly women lmfao
I can't see it on my body easily
mine seems to evenly distribute
getting some love handles in my age though haha
Not in muscle weight but in fat
arm weight isn't overly common really
And its hard to gain muscle if you dont gain much fat on your arms
or atleast harder
mostly lean muscle unless you don't use your arms at all
shoulders, yeah
lower arms should gain in fat / muscle aswell
do grip stuff
but its pretty difficult to do that
get you some forearm lol
oh jaysus lol
skips left arm day*
Haha
Legs are too easy for me tbh
But possibly thats because of lenght
short people have issues with legs i believe
Nice
my legs give me trouble due to my back
Yeah back problems are very common thb
I can't stand in a spot for more than an hour
if walking, I can handle a cpl hours at most
doing dishes is insanely painful
Ugh
stick to the pc stuff
oh lol
General fuck em
I mean, we try to stick to pc stuffs lol
Im going to watch a movie lmfao fun is ruined ill be back when im awake tomorrow lmfao
most of this stemmed from pc talks haha
it's fine but we have to keep it on topic
later
Cya later have a good day = )
@graceful hawk
Give us an update on the GTFO behind the scenes
i know as much as you do sorry
and maybe people would have enough interrest to keep it to the pc topic
lmfao
I know some of you mods / admins know more than you want to give out
Since you signed some forms ya feel ya feel or if you havent signed you aint important enough or too fresh of a face
sadly, NDAs exist lol
well i don't, and if we did it's not always a good idea to give out stuff
also legally i can't if i did
Yeah because u can be sued lmfao
again, please keep this on topic
I would if i was an E-Janitor but hey i dont care about my legal issues
I am legit excited for GTFO though and am dying to play it already D:
eesh easy Groundus, I've been a mod for stuff
for an e-janitor i do have to deal with pretty big pieces of shit sometimes
I have been a mod too for alot of forums
But i dont feel like doing that kind of work anymore
Itβs all doots fault
Since the benefits / reward you get for basicly doing a free job dont outweigh the work and passion you put in
I was a mod for partnered streamers on Twtich, but we don't need to go belittling mod work now
He kept this channel on the epic gaming pc hours
Man Iβm hyped for zen2
Both for dev, and game! π
gtfo windows XP support
ok probably not
but Win 7?
I think as long as Steam supports the oS
wait we talked about this
I think GTFO will support Win10 and 8.1
Win7 should work yeah
People should use at least Win7 now..
Even me - a man out of track of society (?) begun use Win 7 in 2012
eh not 2012... maybe 2015
i had win 7 in 2015
Some of our PCs at work still have Win7 on them.
We still have one hanging around with WinXP on it. Basically for sentimental reasons, I think... lol
well even some trash PC in my school are still using XP...
XP dominates China for really long time also me
Focusrite Solo don't support XP. I have to update it to Win7...
Windows 10 is nice
nice
Cool
Ryzen's great for game dev right?
It seems so from what I have read
once ryzen 3000 comes out it'll be great for everything
the 6 cores have been some amazing value for the first two gens, as well
is it like
Any cool PC tech / Gaming Accessories & Peripherals?
No
where is my new intel pentium
Where is my 2060
I have installed a silverstone ES02-USB
the intel pentium g4560 was the best thing in 2017 after sliced bread
Im about to pay 250 dollars for an elgato deck with 30 - 35 keys
i want intel pentium g4560 2
because idk where to spend my money on
Where the hell is my 1440p monitor reee
i want it now
I bought it three days ago I want it now
now my PC starts and restarts with a wireless key like a car
I WANT TO SEE INTEL PENTIUM BUILDS WITH LOW END GRAPHICS CARDS FOR BUDGET GAMINGG
benchmark videos
I want it now not 8 fookin days later
Im happy with my two 1440p 144hz monitors now
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I WANT THE THINGY REEE
Only bad thing about 1440p is that you have to switch back on certain fps games to 1080p
And on csgo its total dog shit
Oh yeah I get what you mean
hey all this is foreign territory for our friend @hexed horizon
lmfao
He's still stuck in 2000's era display
yes you can - now with raytracing
Lmfao you mean that VR shit
Nice
@dusty pumice Quake II Raytraced just came out
shit up
I could buy 8 dogs with the money for an 2080ti
why such a specific number?
Because a 2080ti costs 1200 euros / dollars forme
for me*
and about8 full breed dogs cost that for me lmfao
corgies are like 1000 dollars each
8 pugs?
π€
I can get an police dog for like 2500
corgies are frickin expensove
pugs must be pretty affordable?
I have no idea since we get mongrels here
Really depends what dog is popular in the country
Labradors are expansive here
yeah
After that german shepherds
short leg long boi
Just looks like a regular dog with half the legs LOL
yes
maybe 1/3rd
Corgies look so fucked tbh they about to die from some special dog disease
but pugs look the same to me
most pedigree dogs die from special dog diseases
hey pets and techs are pretty similar
Hmm
Ehehehe
kek

Ryzen 3900X is shi- cool
oh talking about hamburger i have a coupon for a free one to get it delivered
The navigation program is the real brains
So how many of you are getting the Ryzen 9?
Not I
whether 12 or 16 cores
I am possibly
Why though
Why are you a weeb harold
Totally a lot of others for better reasons than fookin-
Explain me meow
Because big anime tid- because anime is pretty good and I like it
lmfao
Yeah @fleet canopy's avatar has the weebest pair amongst us
E-Tiddy
Okay
Hmm
Your just ahead of harold in time
Already invested in the future anime's
My avatar was actually a test on the Terminator Salvation website's "Terminate Yourself" feature LOL
We have androids like Detroit: Become Human
Lmfao
We can just add tails and ears to them
@fiery nacelle Last E3 was hilarious all of these terminator DLC's and stuff
They seem to bought the rights to use it in games now lmfao
we didn't have GTFO on E3 because they worked on Alpha
What the fuck is that one on the left
I cannot understand why this exists
First curved gaming case is really cool tho
The Triangle one can be used inverted
Yeah
its progress for a full sized table curve
What the fuck
Nice
Beaver PC
Ban it
We have flying beavers and other stuffed animals in my country
Kinda weird
Hungarian PC cases all look like these
can you stop meme about Hungarian stuff and Hama brand
ok about the hungarian stuff but I must meme HAMA
Name: Pug
Strength: 1
Stamina: 10
Health: 2
Status: Well```
oddly Hama is a german brand
Fastt doggo
so basically Msi told stuff about their cooking for the ryzen 3000
theyβll have a chonky heatsink
what happened to MSI on X570?
why can't these manufacturers put a bigger heatsink on the chipset and a heatpipe connecting VRM heatsinks on their X570 motherboards?
penny pinching bastards
they just make some of these fancy RGB boards
and make them cost 400 - 500 euros and cheap out on alot of shit
At least, if I remember right
and stupid consumers buy them
But there are a few good boards out there in the line
keeps the kids enthralled
The RBG is nice, but the heatsinks arenβt to sink money into
and more importantly off the important control surfaces like mice and keyboard
I dont give a fuck about rgb its horribly for my eyes aswell at night
kek
I have a non rgb mouse and keyboard im so happy with them
@dusty pumice
BUY RGBs NOW
I've seen a friend's keyboard
The fucking thing is so well lit up that it should be banned
It's awful
i hope u never touched ur friends keyboard
It's too bright
never know what happens with those things
haha
I don't know where he lives lmao
He's deaf so he and I do video calls and I see his hands and part of his face filled with color
Ok a video of a keyboard
I might have a pic, hold on lmao
Monitor is bright asf, keyboard too RGB, PC is probably RGB asf
In Win A1 Plus mini-ITX build
oh sad
don't the bottom 2x 120mm fans help?
Air comes better out the sides I find
the side intake one is sadly committed to the PSU
so better intake at the back
and exhaust out the side yes?
Alot of cases stil have horrible airflow
Intake and exhaust should come out of areas where thereβs a good amount of space behind
idk why some are even allowed to be sold tbh
Not good ik, but couldn't find a pic
You donβt want your hot air going back in
yeah like my Aerocool DS Cube on silent config LOL
Some pc builders dont know shit about airflow either
so idk doesnt hurt them i guess
what is airflow
"I prefer positive ventilation"
dust
I seen alot of cases filled with dust lmfao
and filter it
I prefer holes
the tighter the better - LOL
Lmfao
seriously though don't be fooled by some cases like the Q300L/P series
lots of airflow holes but when you measure them - there's more steel than holes blocking
Consequently, cooling suffers
You have some cases with like a steel door you can open / close with like magnets
that blocks all the airflow aswell
Its cool looking but it sucks for the airflow
Seriously - the effective ventilated area is probably less than 30%
Especially after you add the yet restrictive fine filter
@dusty pumice which case is that?
Should possibly help alot with the dust build up
the micro holed one
Was at the case whatever shit u linked before
with the pyramid case
let me scroll up
@ Computex
Idk need to look it up
i seen a few there
Nvm its called micromesh
here at 3:25
there where more examples of those cases @computex but i dont bother to look them up
lmfao
oh those are nice - hopefully
I would like to have some micromesh / combination with some like dust filter
that would be nice
yeah
I need to bring my pc into some pc repair shop
probably a slightly stronger bigger mesh + nylon dust filter (like Silverstone types)
i cant fit my lower dust filter back in it will not shove all the way in anymore
so my pc is filling up with dust slowly aswell
ouch
and i need to buy myself and aircompressor or something for easier cleaning
Get a Datavac ESD-safe one
@fiery nacelle What kind of pc build are you running now?
an old one
CPU: i7-2600
Mobo: Gigabyte H77M-D3H
Ram : Kingston Hyper X Genesis DDR3-1333 8GB
GPU: MSI RX-480 Gaming X 8GB
Storage: 2x 500GB SSD + 2x 1TB WD Blue HDD
Im running an older pc to my standards but im playing on an friends one because hes at the moment out of country for the army
So im gaming on double 1080ti's for free
@dusty pumice Hmmm, tempted to upgrade though possibly waiting next year for Zen 3
Damn
Double 1080Tis? oh man so nice
Im on an 7700k which runs insanly hot might be normal or i hit a unlucky number in the silicon valley lottery
And im running an MSI 1070ti
in my own pc
that is old?
For me yes
look at mine ah ha ha ha
I have some crucial whatever ram
Wut you driving an 4k lmfao
I love WD for harddisks
I need that RX 5800
eww
What monitor do you have in 4k?
wasnt that horribly expansive when you bought it
i never bothered investing into 4k
since pretty pricey and not worth for me tbh
I want 1ms and atleast 144hz
I spend 1000 euros for two 240hz benq's tho
wait why is it central americas and Caribbean lol
@dusty pumice whatβs the number?
@late sorrel theres only 1 240hz i believe
For the cpu temp.
whoah
or how the fuck its spelled
Not good enough lmfao
Whatβs the brand?
It should be about 50-75 max
240mm rad?
h110i
no
stock?
Its stock now
holy fuck
because it will destroy my pc if i overclock it
thatβs extremely hot
there is only one reason, and one solution then
Lemme see if I can help, because youβre missing a lot of performance there
I cant even run my aio on max speed
because it will blow my ears out
Oh
it produces so much db in sound
because it will only run on max
with this cpu
its painful
add thermal grizzly conductonaut (liquid metal)
It is
Mehh idk if it is
Doot should back me up on this too probably
The CPU is already pretty old
with Der8auer's Delid Die mate - makes it easier than installing Windows 10
folding?
F
Distributed computing for Stanford University
What did he say?
he said keep it?
Nothing much more than i just said
He never talked about delidding tho
but i considered that already long time ago
you should know better
You wonβt need to take the side off, it wonβt be that drastic
@late sorrel i had the most expansive aircooler before this aio
didnt make a difference
same temps
I stil have it laying upstairs
I can reinstall it with an easy few steps
Intel CPUs are sluts - they get so hot until you have to take their tops off
Its all but a few screws in and out
(just joking ok)
Well Intel just fucking sell you a broken product to begin with tbh
It still shouldnβt be that hot
Oof
Weβll get a reply later
LOL
All of the intel products recieved so much testing in company already
and all the ones that are shitty just end up on the trash pile
the semi good ones get sold off
If itβs the sound you can usually get better fans
It is not Intel's fault
And just put the radiatior over it
I have the most silent fans i can fit on there lmfao
But Iβm not 100% sure and dootβs the one who has actually done stuff
I know all about fans and all that shit
then wha
I have the same low sound high airflow fans as doot does
i have a stack of 20 infront of me laying on the table
Under the radiator?
yeah
I have a case with like 10 fans
Kung Fan
This is a huge issue
instead of the usual 6
Sorry my space bar seems to be breaking lmfao might have spilled some water in it earlier today lmfao
I only have three man
Yeah for my case 4 - 6 is normal
2 intakes 1 out
imagine if you'd buy all 10 fans - Corsair RGB LL
those cost a fortune
no lmfao
Whatβs the noise then?
I have pump noise now aswell
Is it the fans or the pump that goes super loud
The noise is 90db or whatever sound level it makes when it turns on max
because my cpu is so hot
that loud?
the aio thinks its running like the most extreme settings for a game
or whatever it puts under full load
The AIO could be... gunked up inside
Hardware Unboxed mentioned the "typical" median lifespan for AIO's they've handled is like 2 to 3 years only
If i set my aio to normal settings
it all goes to full speed
max settings
I can control that shit from the corsair program
something is stuck?
thats why i deleted the corsair program
Hmm, maybe get a 40$ odd be quiet
since i cant sleep with it on
it must be THAT loud to interrupt sleep
Why donβt you turn your pc off?
I have a bequiet case
so i have bequiet fans aswell
if i want to put them in again
CPU cooler
i can
for the cooler
Why would i need to turn my pc off?
yeah get a nice big Be Quiet CPU cooler
Makes no difference anyway
If the aio is making the fans and pump go crazy, then youβve got an issue
iirc it does
Just turn it off for a afternoon
nah its been the same since 2017
only reason why i went from air to aio
to solve this problem
wait surely it stays much lower than 80 to 90 C if it is idling or light workload?
Its only an typing pc now anyway
it only runs discord and firefox and steam chat
no
Its 82celcius now
whoah
the actual fuck
its a room heater lmfao
Im on a dual pc setup not single so yeah its an idle beast for me
I have one last curiousity... could it be a broken temp sensor (or malfunctioning reporting software)
usually at such high readings, on an air cooler, one can touch the heatpipes to verify
I mean what else do you run on your PC?
nothing
(4x mining cards for example)
nah
its been like this from the start
i got a replacement cpu
stil the same thing
I went to a store that checked the whole setup
nothing bad
just unlucky tbh
well thatβs weird
7700k tend to run really high temps
Its just lucky or unlucky in the silicon valley lottery at that point
I have been chosen to be unlucky this time
Lmfao
Atleast the 9980XE
runs normal
otherwise i would be death when my friend returns home
lmfao
friend's PC rite?
Yeah
I will probably pay him like 50% of the pc's worth when he returns safely home tbh
oh
Sent out on mission so hope he be okay
He has kids so yeah
More important than my own life if you have kids
I would never go into the millitary with kids i wouldnt be able to do my job correctly
But alot of those millitary guys have kids and i respect them for what they do
So I have a nvidia GeForce rtx 2080 and for some reason all the games I play pull up that I have a intel UHD 360. Even my system informations pulls up both. Am I missing something?
Have you upgraded to the latest GeForce Drivers?
the latest invidia drivers
i also just reinstalled them
my bad geforce experience drivers
I had similar issues with my GTX1050Ti, but they went away when I installed the GeForce Experience utilities
And let it run a full scan/update.
You could also trying to go into your computer's control panel and disable the Intel graphics
is it a Microsoft store app or is it part of the GeForce experience
Part of the GeForce Experience. Should be an Update Drivers tab somewhere
i went into the nvidia control panel and it said i didnt have an nvidia card hooked up to the display and now it wont open
just flashes i assume it checked and im already on the highest drivers
for the drivers tab check for updates
Start > Nvidia Corp > GeForce Experience
On top at the left, there's a Home Tab and Drivers Tab.
yes
Is the software discovering your hardware and refusing to install because of 'insufficient hardware' or anything?
It might just be reporting the first graphics hardware it detects. Mine does the same thing, but games run fine.
thats what nvidia control panel said when when i tried to open it the first time
that i had no hardware of nvidias hooked up to my display
i think my computer is suffering from some severe computer dementia
Yeah, I think you're slightly above my paygrade. No idea how the RTX cards work. I'm still on a GTX, and not sure when I'll be upgrading.
its plugged into my mother board from what i can see
You need to plug it into the graphics card
i see
Not by the usbs and ports, the set of three or four hdmis
its funny because the first few months it worked fine and i havent changed anything
