I can't mod minecraft for shit cause I'm dumb as hell kek
I feel like at that point you just turned Minecraft into a game engine and you're playing something completely different
well it's the same game just with a lot of custom stuff
all the basic stuff is still there
but thousands of new objects and play rules etc
If you doubt me, check out sevtech ages
Custom? You may as well have custom netcode and UIs at that point.
Go on ^_~ do it
Hey, it's java that's the problem here
Hm
fuck java
exactly
Like just as a language. Fuck it.
Nice
When you chew up more RAM than google chrome
yea... i also run that :p
so i neeeed the memory XD
20+ tabs open too sometimes
I swear the way Chrome works is the more RAM you have available the more it takes, just to be a dick
Honestly I still have no idea of a reason I could ever use more than 16GB in my life though
@fleet canopy If you dont work with Servers, Virtualization or Machine Learning. You dont need it
Do you know of a better browser app that is stable and can still save your passwords to the cloud?
and autogenerate passwords?
cause i always auto-generate
and please don't say opera cause last time i used that it couldn't load much of anything :p
Why in the flying fuck would you save passwords to the cloud?
i'd have lost all my passwords due to last windows update corrupting the install
so yea
thank you cloud
please don't tell me you write down your passwords in meatspace
Im sorry but if you want secure passwords thats the only way.
PC has password! Notepad next to PC has passwords... derp get in PC!
I have like 4-6 passwords because I don't fucking know how
the most secure method is the memorize the shit
but I auto-generate the most complex passwords a site allows
im not gonna remember that and keeping that shit in meatspace isn't safe either :p
Write it down
no
Big ol
Mind
Staple password to brain
ezpz
:)
I can remember my passwords
@finite sentinel Whats more likely. I break into your house to steal a piece of paper or I pwn your computer and steal your passwords?
also, we've gone over the whole thing about security etc here before
But I can't remember my homework for shit
my passwords aren't saved locally
Chrome caches it.
true
Or I can just keylog every input
If I own your computer that can be done in powershell
I wouldnt need to install anything
I've literally gone over this discussion before in here
To get your passwords I can just mimikatz to pull the passwords from RAM
i don't wanna do it again
Suffice to say, i have nothing to steal
therefore, it doesn't matter
Everyone says that.
I have chrome autofill
yea because how many people here are actually WORTH the effort to break into their PC?
tattoo your passwords on the inside of your eyelids
Yeah like
@finite sentinel Your Name, Address, Bank Details are worth about 20 Grand
excuse me the 2tb of japanese porn I have saved on my hard drive is a national treasure
The amount of people's data is pretty much a little to literally useless
i couldn't even get a credit card with my own info
I'm just some deadass man sitting on a chair everyday
so how can it be worth to someone else? :p
Simple. Attacker uses those details to get online loans from sketchy sites and foots you with the bill
You sure?
I have no credit
there are a lot of predatory loaners out there if you go looking
Give me the details I can probably find something.
Let's move on from this topic -_-
lmao
I've literally gone over this before
and you're talking about getting shady loans :p
like loan shark type
Not even. Some places dont mind the credit and just have stupid interest amounts
yea that's literally half my monthly rent
my monthly rent is 1515
Sounds like 8$ an hour
Disability Income is still proof of income which can be used by less than credible places for loans
Happens all the time in the UK for Payday Loans
nah it's all transfered directly to the housing
source of income: gambling
lol you missed the fact it's disability income
Where the money goes doesn't matter to some places, just that its income is enough for some loan companies.
Oh
unable to work
got in an accident
I must have forgot more likely
👁️
and im autistic + adhd
I just have too much shit to remember
Damn
@finite sentinel 🤗
i dunno i'd have preferred that i think, living a life of pain isn't pleasant
@hard crag does GPU passthrough allow a gpu to push the output to a different card?
so i can have my displays hooked up to one card and use the other to do the heavy lifting then output via my primary card?
It feels way too wrong
Fucking hell I'm never doing that again
Speaking of security
Placing some thing on the camera on a chromebook
@finite sentinel I think you would need a SLI to do that
The only valuable info on a chromebook at my school
Is nothing
Change what?
O
GPU
Hm
Why?
Yes
save $ for a better monitor and i have literally no rtx games
@fleet canopy You would just use the chromebook to pivot to the internal network of the school and then try find a way to the finance area,
Yeah but
@hard crag so in order to use pci passthrough i'd have to have a separate display for the VM?
It's pretty fucking dumb
It's not like
My school is rolling in hundreds of thousands
It's not that private
Did you change anything else @median moon
main SSD
And take note that it's 1440p
@finite sentinel No i mean. Normally when the GPU calculates all the rendering etc it normally just outputs to what ever display is connected. In order to use a separate GPU for more than just mathematical calculation they would need to be working in a SLI
Have fun running medium/low
Gigabyte
@hard crag the guide says you need 2 GPUs for passthrough, one for linux and 1 for VM
GPU, that's cool
@fleet canopy Even government school see thousands of dollars. So siphoning some of that would be profitable to a malicious actor.
That would imply i need a separate display for the VM
No googabutt
ok fine no googabutt
What do you want for a motherboard @median moon
@finite sentinel oh, I mean.. you running the VM in Linux so you can just use a single display
Full screen the VM and you're fine.
@hard crag Are you certain? because the setup says to use pci passthrough to the VM
that would give me native speeds
I mean I cant see why you would need a separate display. But I would assume you have a second monitor with your setup.
My second monitor failed, i have a TV connected for watching youtube etc but...
A capacitor on the control board failed
yikes
I could open it and attempt repairs but...
printed circuitry is hit or miss with home repairs
I mean I just cant see any need for a second display, but could be a setup I havent seen before.
Now I don't know too much on mobos
i've repaired printed circuitry before but it's a pain in the ass
Just follow the manual I would suggest.
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/gwPgXL/msi-mpg-x570-gaming-edge-wifi-atx-am4-motherboard-mpg-x570-gaming-edge-wifi But this I heard is pretty good
I can follow the manual and see where it gets me i guess
I want to get a 4k monitor but money is an issue for the forseeable future :p
thats what i had
I keep making the mistake of lending my loved ones money
Yes
they NEVER pay me back
Hm
o.k.
Gigabyte is just horrible on mobos
<.<
Just look it up, and you'll see threads that Gigabyte is hated
Something about whatever the fuck idk who cares
Gigabyte Aorus is actually one of the top rated atm...
Yeah but I wouldn't trust even after it's hated so much on the internet
Fucking monitor is making me think of whether 1080p 144Hz, 1080p 240Hz, or 1440p 144Hz
well you'll notice 2 things if you switch to 1440p
ah
But I didn't like not having smooth
it looks great
For a lucky chance, there would be one at 270$
4K 240Hz
Or maybe even 250$
i mean, just moving the mouse across the screen is different
I mean, I went from 900p to 1440p
Then I'm like
"What the fuck is the difference?"
Had a 1060 at the time
Upgraded to 2070 Super
"What the fuck is the difference?"
.>
Decided now to sell the 1440p at one point
wut?
1440p is vastly superior, can you do a side-by-side?
Yeah, funny ain't it
oh you must not do modern gaming then :p
GTFO on 1440 vs 1080 is very different
Haven't touched on GTFO compared
run both monitors and duplicate displays
lol
They'd definitely need to fix the positional audio to do VR
doesn't matter what game, duplicate display and run side by side
That's a big increase for having 1440p, easy to see faraway
youll SEE the difference
ah ok
But I'm just going with 1080p 144hz because not have touched smooth yet
i'd never go back to 1080p...
I would go back to PS3 anytime
saw my face off
I fuuuuucking loved Skate 2-3
Yeah the visuals are things
But that doesn't judge the greatness of the game itself
Skate 2 is a legend of a game
i remember when i upgraded from 480p to 1080p
The series is a fucking legend
Haha
It's funny
You first see 30FPS, smoothest game you've seen
Then comes 60
Ew 30 is trash
dog 30FPS is like my life right now
Any higher than 60 like 120 or more
life of a 1050 😔
Ew 60 is trash
120 fps is super nice
CSGO 700fps
10-15FPS used to be my life on PD2
i can't do that on most high end games but...
i can get 120 on some top tier games but not all
It was an absolute fucking blast
Payday 2
thought so
The old days of PD2
yea
Great fucking game until it became a piece of trash
So uhh
I could go for 1080p 144 or 240Hz
Or opt for 1440p 144hz if it's cheap enough
hey payday 2 isnt that bad :(
1440p 144 is affordable
It's shit now tbh
no
Yes
no
I dislike the game now
It's still some fun, but it's nothing good tbh
minigun dodge
I'll check on the sales now, see if there might be a good deal
And yeah dodge was the shit
But it's become more of the sociopath pretty much
You should try experimenting with other builds, not just dodge
Sociopath I believe is a good perk
uhh
I forgot
It's been some time since I've played it
Because I've played it for over many hours
And when it started having like
The more lore thing
but... you haven't played it recently
bro you called sociopath a good deck, that was like 3 years ago
overshill
overshill
I don't fucking remember anything good about PD2 anymore
all I remember is
It's just not fun
100 dollar mask pack
There's a fucking 100$ mask pack?
h-hey guys it's N E O N
there was this stupid ass limited time neon mask pack wasn't there
Now that's some limited edition shit
Completely Ovekill is like
Just fucking mod it in lol
No one gives a shit anymore, just go download DLC unlocker and get it
Overshill and their stupid ass pricing on their million DLCs killed any desire to play their game
I bought their big ol bundle on their infinite fucking sale
and them marking dlc unlockers as "CHEATERS" and making them banned from lobbies by default
That was worth uhh
100 hours
Fuck it was such a boring game over time
Thanatos thanatos thanatos thanatos thanatos thanatos
Minigun Minigun Minigun Minigun Minigun
So many
There's like so many guns
lol remember heavy crossbow meta
That are near similar
The mini minigun
Like they have a lot of guns sure
But they are literally the same fucking gun haha
The Uzi
The Micro Uzi
The Hotline Miami Uzi
The Uzi Uzi
Like what the fuck Overkill haha
why put effort and resources into new assets
Train Simulator with guns
when you can reskin the same shit, give it some different numbers and sell it again
And I mean the 523899582390582 DLC game with guns
Oh look
It's the same map b-but!
You gotta steal some dumb shit!
Shadow Raid
Then some day map that's not shadow raid
shaday raid
Same map
Some fucking redesign on area
It was great back then
Actually original
overshill: WE ARE ONCE AGAIN ASKING FOR YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT
Not the same copypasta shit
nants ingonyama bagithi baba
$260-$280 if youse lookin fer a cheap un
$300ish for quality™
So 300$ or more for better quality
Hm
Sounds like
A bit over my price but I can do that
Welp, my headphones are crapping out 
Haven't even had em for that long, it had to be the part where the cable connects to it too
Oof
Might just get actual AKGs this time 
👁️
At this point I wouldn't give a shit if I bought the VG271U Pbmiipx
It is a good monitor after all
Gotta be on sale at one point
"Alright so, this is a hard one because I really really really like this monitor. It's fantastic. It's an IPS so it looks absolutely fantastic, even more so considering it's 1440p. It's a 144hz, freesync monitor, gotta love that.. But if you go on Newegg or other places there are reviews that say it flickers.. and it does indeed flicker. Not alot, but it happens and those reviews all say that it happens gradually where it flickers a little and then it becomes unusable. So for what it is, besides the flickering, 10/10. But we have yet to see what may become of it. Hopefully, and I'm crossing my fingers here.. it doesn't become so bad that it's deemed unusable. We'll just have to wait and see.
Update** Jan.16.2020 A few months later and were still experiencing flickering but it has yet to become so bad it's deemed unusable. It flickers every so often but its only for a split second and it happens in like 20-40 minute intervals so I'm not that bothered. Other than that it's an exceptional monitor and its stunning to look at. I got this for practically nothing so i'm not that mad. THIS IS TO DISSUADE YOU. Unless you're into taking risks."
Hm
hm
🤷♂️
I'll just have it as an option
Alright then

Time to see what gets picked better
Or whatever I get recommended lol
Time to sleep
Good night
good night
I can reccommed S2716DG because I myself have had a good experience with mine
The box is also good for travel.
my Asus VG248QE is getting pretty old
Guys I have heating issues with my GPU, should I just switch out the fan (its a generic fan) to a Noctua one, or do I swap out all the fans in my system?
@nimble kite First clean it
Your whole cooling
also do you have any fans blowing air out and in
I recommend the rear as exhaust and the front as a intake
if you have a liquid cooler check if you have a film of dust on the radiator
The front is slightly obscured by my front panel, so it might be a case of not enough intake perhaps?
well intake helps cycle air out so should be fine
How much is it blocking
I know some cases are built to obscure it a bit
It's got enough head room, as far as I can tell.
It's just when I play some heavy games, temps go way crazy and crashes my thing
I just had this couple months ago, but I'll try and do some air cleaning on it and see what happens.
First steps should be is checking for dust
Can you open it at all or no?
also depending on your video card do you know if there is a heat sink ?
Feel free to let me know if you have any issues
My card's RX 5700X I believe
Should have a heatshield then so i dont think its a card issue make sure its updated thooo
Should try reapplying thermal paste if you know how. What brand is the card and how old?
@clever mist If the video cawd is having heating issues I don't believe thewmal paste will solve the issue howevew they can twy taking the cawd appawt
Shit dont weplace youw r key
Lmao
It can if the thermal paste in the card itself is old and doesn't conduct enough heat to the heat sinks
yeah thats twue thewmal paste mainly helps with filling the gap between the cawd and the heat sink
fix your keys 
hmmm
but see thats an extwa step
shit I cant send pics
I'm using SharpKeys
oh wait I can
Kinda straying off topic lmaoo
Yeah twue but I love pwoving my point
ANYWHO
Breaking windows is fun
Cept now I got to paste the r key
Ok seems like GPU is fine (up'd the fan speed a bit, now I'm only hitting 60s on temp) but still having the same issue of pc shutting off, seems to be CPU temp is the causae.
cause*
So fiwst check youw paste on the cpu that needs a good cleaning at times
depending on how old it is you will need to weplace it
Just had this pc this december, so theoretically, it should still be good?
Did you build it?
Pre-built
Yes, it is fan cooled. 2 front panel fans, one on the cpu itself, and one on the backend.
CPU is at 70 right now, close to 80s.
Utilization is at 17%, just on the menu screen.
oh misswead
I would weapply paste and honestly you may need to wepace the coolew
Also sowwy fow the text but I;m dedicated to doing a owo text week challange
@nimble kite Twy updating youw CPU dwivews
Lmao, no problem, I'll probably do that. Rather than my pc go off on me every time.
All my drivers are up to date.
Well shit, do you have paste on hand?
Not at the moment, will probably get one today, best buy right next door.
Oh that sounds pwetty easy I would not weccomend the insignia bwand if you want, it would not huwt upgwading the cpu coolew if you awe changing the paste
I'll probably change it to a noctua later this week, but I'll apply the paste later today.
Alwight Let me know how that goes I do believe thats the issue tho
And yeah, I saw the insignia one, definitely not going for that one. I'm planning on getting the corsair one the very least.
You are replacing the “r” with “w” 
Yesss now I speak the owo
So, i've been having issues getting my memory clocked to 4400mhz with 4 sticks on my x570 chipset
gonna ditch 4400 and try to optimize 3600, running at 14/34@3200 atm
Hm
faster memory means also that the CPU has to do more or in other words compete with that speed
usually you need to increase the IMC voltages
Take it away Wooza
haha i have no idea about AMD sadly
lol
but I would think that CPU may limit possibly
4 sticks and 4400MHz is a lot for the CPU
With Ryzen 3000 you need to overclock the infinity fabric
Buildzoid made a video about all that actually, the best infinity fabric (FCLK) clocks vs RAM clocks and timings
The thing is, there is a diminishing return, I don't think 4400 is optimal
I think you start seeing diminishing returns after 3800ish
what about the real latency which is a mix of latency and speed
people like me believe it's the ultimate method to prove how fast the ram runs but I cannot back it of completely
I cant remember who tested it, but some techtuber did a latency+speed test with ryzen 3000
https://notkyon.moe/ram-latency.htm
Here you can find out the real latency
@vapid crypt The only thing I will add to the conversation is that to my knowledge 3733mhz was the sweet spot for Ryzen, with as you said 3800 being the point of diminished returns
In other words: Faster speed RAM can still be slower when the CAS latency is too high
the formula is:
(CAS latency/RAM clock speed) x 2000 = latency in nanoseconds
example: DDR3 with CAS 15 and 2400MHz is faster than a DDR3 with 2666MHz and CAS 17
3800 at CAS 14 seems to be the best going by Buildzoid's chart thing
(15/2400) x 2000 = 12.5 nanoseconds
vs
(17/2666) x 2000 = 12.75 nanoseconds
nice file. it's exactly the formula and for all possible values
4800MHz and CAS 7 challenge, anyone?
5000mhz when
ddr5 when 
Speaking of, have you checked what I put in for monitors @abstract kite ?
Acer one tbh
After having thought of the fact I have a good GPU, and I've had a 1440p
Tis IPS
Heard there would be noticeable quality differences
Check out this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVd3LX2DCCQ
Hardware Unboxed
Tom knows a thing or two about a thing or three 
Never have I seen a video link from someone with it not being Hardware Unboxed
TN Panels aren’t worth for the average person.
And IPS is what you'd more likely recommend, no?
Yeah, imo I’d say it’s the best.
In terms of response time it’s better than VA and has good color quality.
I’m sure there are more terms to define color quality too lmfao.
TN Panels are for like E-sport guys
@fleet canopy https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/b109fd2
MSI Optix MAG27CQ
sRGB: 110%, NTSC: 85%
Best out of the bunch you posted imo
There's an IPS 1440p one from pixio going for 260 last I checked. The only downside if you're a fan of 144hz or higher is its 95hz
I want to stay at more than 120Hz for me tbh
why wouldn't TN be for the average user? It's generally cheaper to produce and I think also live longer generally
TN is pretty good for not having to care too much
But I guess it's just the quality of the panel
Your right I probably should of rephrased. “Gamer”.
TN is better now than it was 10 years ago. I mean if you've only used TN panels then you can go for it if you aren't interested in better color quality and viewing angles, And response times are faster at least 
I guess it'd generally would be the better option for me, going for an IPS
Pretty sure the monitor I have was a VA or IPS
200$, 2560x1440p, 60Hz, more likely IPS now I think of it
The colors were much better
Really let out that nice color effect I'm sure of
Look at that one
Its basically just a lower tier LG monitor, if you want to look at it that way.
Like the panel isn't as high quality, but its offering similar specs and features
Okay, but how much more?
Cause that one ticks the boxes for high refresh rate, 1440, and IPS. The flagship brands of the same specs are certainly over 400... but I mean we could look at those
So this one from LG is certainly better, at a premium. Its uh on sale though
https://www.amazon.com/LG-27GL850-B-Ultragear-Compatible-Monitor/dp/B07TD94TQF
Oof, that's some price
Well I just found a nice 24" IPS 1440p 75hz one for 170 and uh I might get that one
It looks like the response time is higher than most other ones though
1440p or 4K isn’t for me
And yeah as far as sub 400 IPS 144hz, the viewsonic one is your best bet
Rather have 240hz
The MSI Bearz recommended for 370$ isn't bad though, no?
Well its a VA panel, curved are you used to curved panels? 
Never used a curved before
Oh its a "SVA" panel
SVA?
Something samsung made
I recommended it because that's one of the options that Mayo gave
Samsung VA I bet
didn't go and look one up myself 😅
Kek
It gets better viewing angles than regular VA allegedly
But still not better than IPS
Actually it might not be much different than IPS as far as viewing angles
Eh, whatever seems good then
I'm not downplaying IPS, but I do have a question regarding it.
When exactly are you going to be looking at this screen at a 60 degree angle for IPS to be justified?
lol
Color reproduction aside I mean
Sure it's a nice feature to have, but I don't understand the pizazz about it
When you have 3 monitors on your desk and it’s to your side I don’t know 😂
Thing is I still have no idea what's the difference between IPS and VA lol
Basically colors are different
@quick turtle But they're normally angled facing you tho 🤣
True
Its for those people with decked out eyefinity set ups
Hm
You know they got 3 on the desk and 2 above angled down 
Seems the Viewsonic has 3ms kek
I'll probably invest in IPS since I like good color accuracy
Oh yeah it is an IPS after all
but TN hasn't been terrible so far
VA MSI is 1ms
Plus it's not just viewing angle, it's color accuracy as well. I've got a decent TN, and a decent ips, both look fine, but the ips is still miles ahead in color and looks so much nicer
They both advertise 1ms
I quit my job at the photography studio I was working at so I no longer need the perfect monitor lmao
Ahem
The aorus monitor isnt bad ngl
Hm
still has terrible response times tho
Finally managed to get my cpu temps to go low, was idling at 60s earlier damn.
@nimble kite what was going on?
The best thing about Gigabyte Monitors is they typically have better names 
The only possible options I'd see for a monitor would be VG270U VG272U or 27GL83A-B
Power settings was set to best performance, so i turned it back to balanced + slightly lowered voltage
@vapid crypt the only thing lol
now im sitting at 38~41 idle
@nimble kite Ryzen?
Yes
Do an AIDA64 stress test
Stock cooler?
Not sure what that is but I did an OCCT one
I'll give you a link to it
And yes, stock cooler. Well tbh not sure because its a pre-built system.
Then its likely the stock cooler
Unless they start giving you colored fans as stock, then yeah I guess its stock.
https://www.aida64.com/downloads
download AIDA64 Extreme
Well if its the Wraith Prism that has a RGB fan
thats not bad but you'll know if your stable
I was already at 84 with OCCT earlier
Probably be higher if this one's more intensive.
It is
Prime95 and AIDA64 are some of the best to my knowledge
I like AIDA more because of how brutal it is
completely unrealistic since no application will stress your chip as much as this will
but a good test to know if you're going to be 100% stable
Like so
It can
My stock cooler is syncing apparently.
I don’t feel like opening my computer back up
Everything's green on my end. Cyberpower i think
I don’t stare at it anyways
I now see the difference
Try using this to sync it up
https://landing.coolermaster.com/pages/amd-ryzen-wraith-prism-rgb-software/
I don’t have the usb plugged in
Between those two
I’m lazy
It's the stand that's the difference
😐
God damn 5-15$ more
I'm pretty sure they're like the same panel well... almost. XV vs VG I dunno what the differences between the product line is
The stand is the only thing I could see different
The cheaper one has 2 HDMI I think
And the other 1
Probably has more dp
The XV one has USB on the side
Getting into 90~93 on the AIDA one
Other way around actually
@nimble kite Yikes turn it off
Already did lmao
What chip do you have
7 3700x
o k a y something's wrong there
O those run hot with the stock cooler bearz
was thinking of re-applying thermal on it just to see if it helps or not.
Mine hit 87C max @quick turtle
The airflow could be lacking 
on stock cooler
Even mine does, but mine is 3800x
Airflow could be lacking yes
Let's take a look at that front panel
If you've not enabled global c-states in the bios yet, I suggest you do
that's something that helped my chip get cooler
?
or seems to
Yikes
😂
Ah looks like an H500
I mean its a good case... just not that great for front intake 
@quick turtle global c-states affect power efficiency.
Making sure that's enabled will try to keep the chip cooler tmk
Utilizes only what it needs
Well I shouldn't hit 90s in any other thing really
The other test from earlier stabilized around 84~87
I'd assume you'd see around high 70s at most
I disabled the automatic over clock and it never hits 80 degrees
I'd probably lower the voltage a bit more if it still trips off. Been having shut offs playing SW:BF2
📣
i have never once had my pc overheat
but then again i have a literal ac unit blowing on it
Oi oi glass 👋
Surprisingly everything runs fine on it though, just this game and BF:V
hullo
AC unit blowing into it 
that Max though
What is that?
Oh I see
no clue why it hit 207, doubt any system would let their unit hit that high lmao
doesnt water boil at like.... 100 degrees
Probably an error
That's definitely an error
Otherwise your GPU would be dripping down your case
You would be melting too
That's 392F
well i suppose that's one form of "Liquid Cooling"
when you pour liquid oxygen into your cooling loop
it turns to liquid then cools :p
It would literally be on fire
@finite sentinel Hah thats a knee slapper
so i set my memory to 3600 cl16
🇫
to be fair that is expected with daisy chain topology
Well there's a diminishing return passed 3800 apparently so
ok boomer
depends purely on timings
my 4400mhz at cl19 actually beats out 3600 @cl16 by a tiny margin
but it's negligible
and memory testing comes back just fine at current clock thankfully
pretty sure this is just dual channel
Ah
why not go for 3800?
i tried 3800, i gave up after trying 2 different timings/voltages
16-16-17-16-32 @1.4v would crash at windows
ok
doomer
yes.
You could probably get 3800 at dual channel, but yeah that's the weird limitations
you can play a bit with timings. it can take a lot of times finding the values that fit and are stable
yea i can play with timings, if i weren't so lazy :3
DIES in dual channel
Maybe CL 17 around there would work
i used the ryzen memory calculator at safe settings for 3800
and you may remember you said you were able to get way over 2000mhz fclk last time, is that still the case or have you unlinked it now to get those 4400mhz from before?
i mean i guess i could try again
That memory modules do you have, is it Samsung or Hynix?
i got to 2200mhz fclk with 2 dimms
but this board is daisy chain topology, 4 dimms wouldn't get it
you could theoretically exchange your dimms then
i think it was those viper steel ones
yea
b-die obviously
and you were semi-stable with 4400mhz cl19?
i was completely stable with 4400mhz cl19
i might try 3800 again later
but it's a pain in the ass when you reboot and it takes over a minute to get to bios after a failed boot
one would assume you'd get a pretty decent result for 3800 awell then
yea
over a minute?
yea -_-
why that
no idea
it gets past the cpu and dram tests then stays at video test for a minute
odd, would expect it to be "re-training" the ram, not video stuff
anyways
still a mystery to me how you're getting that high of a fclk
:p
hope u get your optimal performance tho
ah
so you're saying I can just overclock my cpu to 10ghz cause that's how far the slider goes? :x
Must be a god tier binned 3800x
probably
Since everything I've seen is like "Yeah 1900 is where you're probably gonna stop with that."
Yes, but it apparently posted at 2200
i get it to run at 1900 just fine but windows crashed at the timings i used, i can try safer timings for 3800mhz
yes it did
i didn't test memory at those settings though
i got into windows and immediately backed out, i don't wanna burn out my damn system :p
I would say overclocking ram in comparison to cpu overclocking etc. requires fine-tuning
and gpu overclocking these days is "+200mhz", go!
haha. it's true
brb gonna try something
Just max out the power limit and the clock limit slider and it just works 
gone are the days one solders the the GPU to give the core extra volt. Or to use special software to enable shader cores cause nvidia and ati once had "LE" and "SE" editions 😂
You can already flash the Bios on like a 5700, give it the XT bios and it effectively gets the stock performance. Which is easily ~10% or so, depends if you can overclock further
that's just clocks and tdp tho right? no "unlocking of extra cores"
Yeah its not unlocking extra cores, its just eliminating power limits
afaik AMDs product segmentation is just done through TDP limits
Oh I also got a question actually. Something that nags me for a while. It's about AMD GPU. I have performance profiles or what they are called. the things that defines clocks etc. After every reboot this gets reset and it uses the default. I googled a bit and some reported msi afterburner causes this issue. I completely removed it but still got the issue. It's annoying to select the profile manually everytime i reboot
What driver version are you using?
i think a quite a buggy one. moment
5700 is 2304 cores and 5700xt is 2560 cores btw
20.1.2
Yeah I think that was a bug early on with the 2020 driver
But I am sure I had it before as, with 19.x.x drivers
I think it should be working normally with that one though
my gf has a fury x and i think same driver and it works normally
I'm using one version newer than that, 20.1.3
i use a 5700xt and it doesn't
it's the asus one, with 3 fans. i don't remember the model name
asus gpu tweak i think they got
TUF and Strix
The TUF one is bad because of bad memory cooling, and the Stix one from what I've seen
Aye finally I can play without having to worry about the damn thing shutting off lmao
Is really heavy and those screws are hanging
i have a benchtable xD
Like the mounting pressure is bad, you gotta tighten things up
the most ugliest pc probably i have out of all here
@nimble kite 
I think I saw it, the rats nest wasn't it? 
with some dust LOL
but it works nicely XD
i try updating the driver and report again
Might work better if it were neater, but if nothings overheating no harm's done
the gpu is always at 53° and vrm on 70-75° during playing. cpu is also fine.
Every now and then I blast some compressed air in the nest and hold on the other side the vacuum cleaner
Do you use an older case?
what do you mean? as case I use some cheap benchtable and it's standing on an ikea table
a benchtable is technically great in terms of thermals but it's a pain on the same time. especially if you have creatures like dogs and cats which creating lots of dust
Endless cat hair clogging up fans 
i bought on alieexpress or somewhere some big filter for the fans. it's good investment 😄
btw, you linked a monitor response time chart before, is there a bigger version of that or are those all they tested? wondering about benqs
Yeah that was uh what was tested for that video, a bunch of 1440p monitor picks pretty much
The video is linked a bit before that
yeah I've skipped through the vid aswell. I was just curious about whether there were any major improvements
I got a xl2560 as soon as they came out, so the earliest 240hz panel
Hm
Bearz, everythings okay but smoking. That's just nasty to clean a smokers pc
The Tar 
cigarettes kill not only lifes. they also kill pc compononts :rip:
I clean my pc weekly
Should tell my buddy to stop smoking in his room... or just stop smoking alltogether 
Just tell him to start vaping so it shorts out his pc
Kek
uh
yeah i just considered that i'm gonna have to lay down some new ground rules regarding vaping in my apt.
no smoke around my life pc
I kinda impulse bought a strix 1080 cause it was only $500 for a ripped box
why did you buy a 1080 though
I’m beginning to regret my decision
.>
I probably should’ve got a 2070 or 5700xt
1080 Ti are about same price if I remember right
500$ for a 1080 
You payed 500$ for an older 2060 
Listen, 1080’s are still $800 for me for some reason
Dafuq
Because New prices lol
What about the 2000 series then?
They don’t make 1080s anymore
Yeah no I heard they don't make 1080 Ti anymore, still makes 1080
1080s still being made?
