@cursive anvil Technically he's not because there's no video card so it doesn't draw any power lol
gritty timber
i mean
quality 450w power supply will be easily enough for a single gpu
unless you plan on running something the likes of a 295x2
or 3090
proper wren
Its everyday use computer so is fine
That build quote no gpu though
And I have to do 5950x and 3090 build on Saturday. But no 850+ psus
cursive anvil
@abstract kite while you are technically correct (the best kind of correct) I makes me pretty leery to see a 450w PSU, even with no video card. USB driven devices will suck juice like no tomorrow.
gritty timber
people going with 750 for a single gpu are just silly
cursive anvil
USB headset is what pushed me to retire the 750w psu I used with my 1080 gpu.
I couldn't power on my PC with the headset plugged in because the draw power was too much at boot. Worked fine if I unplugged the headset, and ran with the headset plugged in after boot.
abstract kite
That's a strange issue
Sounds more like a software issue yeah or a power draw issue 🔽
gritty timber
that's
you do know that standard USB 3 has 1A power draw limit
you'd first overload the mobo circuitry before the psu
and iirc if there's a short or the device tries to draw significantly more power than allowed your pc will just shut down that usb port to prevent damage
abstract kite
Unless you had eco mode enabled
cursive anvil
Right, the PC wouldn't power on from a shut down state, everything was asking for juice all at once and the PSU couldn't deliver so it wouldn't power on. It took me a bit to figure it out
eco mode
lol no
I swapped to an 850w and haven't had an issue since
abstract kite
Yeah
gritty timber
the power rating had absolutely nothing to do with it wtf
when your pc is booting up its not drawing even half of what it's drawing under load
cursive anvil
It was an old seasonic rebranded by corsair, at 11 years old it was still trucking. I checked the caps before I sold it and they were clean.
cursive anvil
The psu is still trucking with the guy I sold it to.
I fully informed him of its age and to replace it when he could because I sold it cheap, but he ays it is still running fine.
abstract kite
Just because it's working at the moment doesn't mean it's not broken
There could be underlying issues
That just aren't apparent
cursive anvil
You think I didn't inspect it?
abstract kite
Lol the issues wouldn't be noticeable to the human eye
cursive anvil
But, I use to inspect server boards, the only issue I wouldn't be able to spot would be a subsurface trace breaking.
There was no indication that the capacitors were breaking down chemically or leaking.
abstract kite
Issue is with the math even at full load a 1080ti build at most should only draw 650
cursive anvil
If I had access to the testbed at a former job, I'd have run it through that too.
gritty timber
it is literally impossible to overpower the 5v rail with a usb device
without something being severely wrong
abstract kite
If your pc wasn't starting it would indicate that either the psu wasn't delivering the power it implied or that the USB device was shortinga
cursive anvil
The PC wasn't shutting down
I would turn it off to reset for updates, or just occasionally.
With the new headset I noticed that it wouldn't power on when I switched it on with the headset plugged in. My presumption was the system was demanding too much power, so I tested it by unplugging the headset and turning it on at which point it worked.
I isolated the issue to the last recent change which was the addition of a USB powered headset.
You are correct in assuming the PSU was likely not pumping out its full rating anymore due to age, but beyond that it was still functional when it was running.
gritty timber
i don't understand why you think its a power rating issue
if it wasn't shutting down under load then there's no way it didn't have enough power to boot up
abstract kite
The other thing too is that mice and keyboards can prevent your system from booting and they can cause lag in games as well
cursive anvil
@gritty timber my presumption was that it was just too much of a surge at start up. Similar to how you can switch off your heaters, lights, stereo, etc when you are trying to start your car when it is really cold out.
without those perihperals competing for power, the batter can send more to the alternator giving it a better chance to catch.
gritty timber
well yes but thats a capacitor issue
as far as im aware components dont draw full power just booting up

"Apple subpoenaed Valve under the basic argument that certain Steam information would be crucial to building its case against Epic"
Apple’s Request 2 is very narrow. It simply requests documents sufficient to show Valve’s: (a) total yearly sales of apps and in-app products; (b) annual advertising revenues from Steam; (c) annual sales of external products attributable to Steam; (d) annual revenues from Steam; and (e) annual earnings (whether gross or net) from Steam"

The first time i heard that valve (and now we know apple) takes a 30% cut, I was shocked as I thought that number was incredibly high
I thought the only way they could get away with it is because of the large audience they have, an the thought of "going it alone" without steam could be kind of daunting for a studio
merry bay
In the early days 30% wasn't all that crazy for the rare service they provided. Now it's excessive and hurts developers disproportunately in a way.

Is it normal to occasionally hear some kind of clicking noise? I don't know how to describe it.
Like, I only ever hear it when I hold my ear right up to the case and listen closely.
simple jay
maybe its your hard drive?
torn ferry
Do SSDs make the same noise HDDs do?
Again, I don't know how to exactly describe it.
I don't know if I'm just being overly paranoid or if I have a reason to be concerned.
Because this morning I found a few very tiny droplets of semi-dry/fully dried and hardened soda on the top panel of the case near the dust filter, and I have my radiator top mounted. I also found the same dried and hardened tiny droplets on the side panel but I didn't notice any near the PSU.
And so far, 13 hours later, nothing has happened and I've been using the computer all day.
And I don't see any obvious signs of damage or whatever that would tell me something is wrong.
Would I know it when I see or is liquid damage on desktop PC components very subtle?
torn ferry
The best that I can describe this noise is that it sounds like a grinding or static noise.
simple jay
it could just be friction from your fans spinning
i put my ear up to my own case
i suppose it could be like a "static" noise or like white noise or whatever
torn ferry
Like, it's audible for 2 seconds, then fades for like 3, then audible for 2 seconds again, and repeats.
Are the effects of liquid damage instant the moment liquid makes contact with the PSU or AIO, or any integral part of a computer including cables?
abstract kite
Sometimes I hear clicking in my case too I poke it hard and the clicking goes away
sick reef
If it isn't hard drive, I'd guess it could be pump cycles, if you are running the pump automatically controlled.
This is kind of equal "black box" stuff unless you're able to discern where the sound comes from. Clicking isn't that uncommon. From the HDD clicking, and some switches, an example would be that my fans bearings make a clicking noise sometimes simply due to how they're constructed.
cursive anvil
Maybe a fan in the PSU is getting ready to die, or some debris is caught in it.

If you had pushed the stand off all the way through, dremeling it off would have been the onlt way.
@stark plover make sure you thoroughly check for and remove any metal dust from the board or it will short and release the smoke djinni, maybe even the flame monster. Don't assume canned air will get all of it.

Yup I covered up the pcb before I started to dremel and I made sure I cleaned it off before I did anything

@abstract kite Well yes but no. Kinda worked my way up to that over the years lol
vapid crypt
Yeah from my experience I've gone through countless $20 - $30ish+ headphones and they do end up lasting no more than around 12 months. The longest was a pair that lasted more than 12 months actually, maybe 15 months or so.
Last year I got myself these AKG K240s, not much more actually think I paid like $65. Though apparently many years ago they used to go for a lot more, but I guess their design ended up being cloned so they had decent competition in the sub $40 market; so they had to drop the price tremendously.
In any case I have had clones of it before, and they were good for the money; but suffered the same issues as before. The wire messing up killing one of the speakers, that's how my headphones usually end up after some time. Fortunately the K240s have a replaceable wire that's still quite durable over all.

Very big variance from place to place.

Hey everyone can someone help me? I recently bought a new mouse and it has a button on the right side which acts like a macro for double left click. The button's position is bad and I keep pushing it by accident. I tried some mouse key remapping apps but they don't recognize this button, it registeres as left click and if I remap it my left click also changes. The mouse itself doesn't have any software or drivers it has two more keys which are fine and register as mouse 4 and 5 but I can't figure out how to deal with that

If it's constantly irritating, why not return the mouse? Said it's new, and it sounds like you don't have much of an option without physically altering the button itself at the cost of your warranty.

What size of a desk should I have if I want a 3 monitor setup?
fleet canopy
At least 1 inch
But I guess just see what the horizontal length is for your monitors and get desk that's about the same or more
torn ferry
And what kind of desk is typically best? Standard rectangle, L shape/corner, or U shape?
bright shard
@torn ferry my personal thoughts are, the desk must be at least as long (on the axis you wish to place the monitors) as 2.7x the horizontal width of the monitor at minimum for a triple monitor setup. if you use vesa arm mounts, you may basically use any size desk provided the monitors are the same type and that there is sufficient space around the desk for them to exist.
the desk should be the best approximation to the wall it is placed in front of.
L desks to corners, bananas to trapezoidal corners, if there is no corner of the room near where you want to have usable desk space, then standard rectangle
torn ferry
I feel if I want an L shape desk that also has 30 inch depth, I am losing usable space.
bright shard
keep in mind, you want the monitors to the furthest depth usually, so subtract 10 inches for your usable space
if you put the monitors in the middle, subtract 20 inches of depth
if you have arm mounts, add 7 inches only subtract 3-4 inches
you must make a decision to whether you want your tower on the desk or on the ground
torn ferry
I don't know if I want it on the ground to prevent my cats from jumping onto the top vent since they like to do that often, or keep it on the desk for aesthetic.
bright shard
if you have the tower on the desk, youll need to add about 40 inches for it to not look weird
or be a topple hazard.
desk will also need to be stronger and or secured to the wall
which is reccomended if you dont use monitor arms
torn ferry
I can't find a cart that fits the case.
I use a Lian Li O11-Dynamic XL.
I'm considering custom building the desk and having a shelf for the tower to sit on.
And I also don't know if I should buy the same identical monitor as the one I have now, for the other two monitors. Since the price of the monitor has doubled since when I first bought it.
bright shard
as long as the dimensions are the same it should be fine
greatly mismatched monitors can work, but they might look weird
color is also important to the aesthetic
torn ferry
And I'm sure I shouldn't downgrade from 1440p to 1080p just to save money on monitors.

i personally use 1080p, but most of my friend will do a higher res as the main monitor, and a lower res on the secondary monitors

There's still "Steve From GamersNexus" which is just about GPUs, CPUs, coolers, cases afaik
He's more about just overall showing performance, specs, showing any benefits
Ye that's about the best from him

what's with LTTs un-descriptive video titles and thumbnails that aren't from the video? I'm talking about examples like "It's time." or "I've always wanted to try these"
ocean ivy
yes

Click bait
lilac geyser
its like dude, you have millions of followers, you are going to get clicks. yeah you might gain a few new follower with the clickbait, but you are alienating your core audience
merry bay
the sad truth is, clickbait gets ridiculous results. Once they see the data with and without it, you start trying to justify it happening.
lilac geyser
maybe, but they dont seem to consider the long term consequences of the people who may look past it for a while, but eventually get sick of it
merry bay
that aspect gets washed out beyond a certain size for sure
numbers keep looking similar or on the rise, so it seems okay
i'm not a fan of it, but I can see where they're coming from. With all the growth it's kinda expected. Soul of the channel is similar, but different

I love unlock, I've never seen an ad with that.

Yes I blame autocorrect

Last I checked Twitch has been doing all it can to thwart adblockers
Not that I care much about Twitch though anymore, their TOS is shit, their staff is cringe, their rules are never equally enforced, its gone to hell in a handbasket with the ads too. Pre-roll ads for live streams is just miserable, at least on Twitch
Like half the time the player ends up breaking, you refresh and get the ad again
Or it bugs and plays continuous ads and you never get to the stream.

Not much you can do about the ads on twitch, sadly. It irritates me to no end
Twitch automoderates some really dumb things like trap.
I understand why, but for fucks sake there are not a lot of usable synonoms

Nah seriously, they just had a major data leak. Names, email, phone numbers for 500 million people.
merry bay
Twitch made an optional middleground with ads. Streamers have to make manual ad breaks long enough and they can bank pre-roll and mid-roll random ad immunity. Think the max is 90 minutes for 3 minutes of ad time or something like that.
The people that don't do that hurt their channels with pre-rolls because most people leave the stream if they get hit with one.
merry bay
As someone who actually uses the site, it's not as rampant as people make it out to be. I had to scroll 3 full pages to find 1 yoga stream in Just Chatting. Which isn't exactly against the rules, but it's also rare enough if you don't look for it.
shameless stuff doesn't last. There's some leeway for people skirting the line, but staff patience isn't eternal
i got tired of scrolling to find 10 cleavage streamers. 6/300 in Just Chatting
half of those were workout streams.
I don't really see much issues with letting someone have comfortable clothes if they don't pose or do the writing names bent over thing. Sexuality not being the focus in most cases is fine. The questionable ones get reported and noted for potentially making cases or previous intent.
it's kind of grown into a collection of communities. People want to see their favourite streamer do collabs or workout or cook or whatever as long as it's made into a show or a hangout/talk.
actual streamers are terrified of bulges or showing glimpses of feet etc.
Because that is very actionable

I had a good laugh when a gun review channel started mirroring their videos on a porn hosting site because youtube were being cheeky twats.
merry bay
twitch would hate to categorize into mature content because of ad reasons + potential blacklisting on parental controls etc. missing out on amazon prime pie from kids
cursive anvil
youtube is pretty aggressive with that sort of thing, even if it is entirely on the level, they will yoink your ads if it is the least bit questionable
merry bay
i find it very difficult to find softcore porn here, but then again I'm not looking for it. Maybe via highlights on bursts of occasional controversy. I understand it's possible to skirt that line, but usually those channels fizzle out quick.
Partly due to Twitch not letting it slide forever, partly due to communities like that being short lived.
cursive anvil
I honestly don't really see many ads on twitch. The folks I watch are all pretty small time, 20 people or so. Also I use a lot of ublock and noscript. I love those.
I'll get an ad on joining a stream sometimes, and that's it.
noscript is pretty great with filtering junk out too, but it can be a hassle to learn to use it properly
I usually watch passively while doing work.
I don't do any of that money thing.
merry bay
I keep 2 windows of streams on pretty much all day. Unmute whenever there's a dull moment, check on it if it seems interesting. Kind of like TV was used in most places
there's all kinds of streamers. Some less shameless than others. Some very reserved, no text to speech etc.
Some refusing sponsorships completely out of principle to maintain better streamer to viewer trust.
cursive anvil
I have no problem with people earning their daily bread like that. It is their life.
I fail to see how it is objectifying if it is something they entered into willingly. They made their choice and if others don't like it, then they can go pound sand.
merry bay
Sounds like you've seen a youtube compilation of some bad apples and think they're free to do that with no repercussions. The situation evolved on several occasions and it's improving steadily.
If the stream focus is deemed even vaguely sexual, they get shut down.
so should they be booted for just looking good?
cursive anvil
I find it silly that guys would throw money at girls for attention then get upset when they weren't noticed. There is no obligation for her to notice you when you hand her money so temper your expectation.
merry bay
they stream not being sexual, if the viewer is delusional, how is that twitch's fault?
cursive anvil
twitch takes a cut of money exchanged across their service, aka bits and subscriptions.
and suckers are delusional about what it means to give someone money for nothing
I pity those guys to be honest, how lonely and awkward must you be to resort to that.
You can't help someone if they aren't willing to help themself. That was the hard lesson learned when a family member got hooked on narcotics and ruined their life.
The internet really is a lonely place, it brings people together and divides them further apart at the same time.
The individual has to be willing to help themself, the circumstances that brough them into drug addiction are irrelevent as over coming those issues is part of recovery. But it is hard and painful and a lot of work. A person can't go through that successfully unless they are willing to go all the way.
If they are not willing to work to help themself, then no amount of external help will ever work. The problem will never be resolved and they will always relapse hard, if they even bother to break their usage.
You can't force help upon those unwilling to receive it.
There is a way out, there always is. But the person has to be willing to work for it and stick with it no matter what.
I feel you. I have a chronic health issue that causes me a lot of misery and suffering. I can empathize
merry bay
it always helped to keep in mind other people's POV's
If they don't have anything concrete, they'd be spitballing otherwise. Which isn't exactly desired either
