Pain management is a rough thing to deal with and there is always that suspicious that you are just a doper.

#

A lot of my mornings are like that to be honest. I survive shockingly little sleep and I hurt all the time for it. 8 hours of rest for me is less that 2 hours for anyone else. Absolutely nothing can be done to reverse or even alleviate the symptoms.

#

It is great you have something that works for you.

#

You find a new doctor at that point. You find a doctor that has their head out of their ass far enough to actually see you, and hear you.

#

Ah, I imagine so.

anyone lucky enough to become a verified actual gamer?

lilac geyser
#

just for fun I took a look at what one of my gpus **from 2015 **would sell for on ebay

#

there are bids that go as high as 94% of MSRP

#

and there are some "scalpers" listing them for over 200% of MSRP on the buy it now option

lilac geyser
#

lol for $129, i think the MSRP for that was only $99

proper wren
#

in CDN

#

so like $102 USD lol

#

My guess is the psu series going EOL soon Doggo

#

I got verified about 15 minutes after the video went up, quick enough to get in line but that's about it

#

when I play this game(basicaly any game) my 1660s goes >70c, I play at 1080p with low settings, I thought that I could be related or the reason is that is a single fan but it still think is too much, the brand is PNY I was thinking of changing the thermal paste but Im not entirely sure thats supoused to be done

dry hollow
#

70c is fine

novel aspen
#

sometimes its almost 80 , highest ive seen it was 78c

bright shard
#

@novel aspen think about what you can do to increase airflow into your case.

novel aspen
#

yeah i had some ideas but was not if i was tasking it too serious

bright shard
#

typically the danger zone is above 80c

#

but reducing the temps might improve performance depending on boost clocks and stuff.

novel aspen
#

im ok with the performance, I am considering lowering the voltage maybe, not sure about the case, its a corsair carbide 275r but ill be definitely getting some new fans

#

looks at my r5 3600 with stock cooler that hits 95C during handbrake render

i wonder if my laptop would handle division 2 since i would like to get it im too nervous :(

78c is still fine, it's my personal max temp although above is technically fine

Meanwhile my 5700xt: max junction temp at stock is 102c

#

You can also look at their system specs req and compare to yours

#

And I mean like a return policy, buy the game, test if it runs and if not, return for full price back.

#

Idk if uplay has any of that stuff

#

If you’re buying through steam however, you can do that

Well, from what I have seen it should run but you will of course need to turn things down. But I am no IT, all I know is how to make ubisoft games work even on ancient machines

cursive anvil
#

Ram is about the only point of concern, but you should be fine.

balmy condor
#

i could get the 1st game but idk

abstract tulip
# balmy condor

with 8 or 7.88 gb ram. you would have to play it on the lowest settings and it would look like minecraft to get it smooth as if you ramp it up graphically its not gonna be smooth. so it all depends on how you want the game to play. If you can handle less looks but more performence go for it. and especielly in case of divison 2. i doubt they have fixed all the issues i had and i have a decent rig. i would wait for a uppgrade if you are doubtful about getting it to start with.

That's my company for ya Smug

#

"We don't have any GPU allocated" as they stock hundreds of rtx 3000 series for prebuilts

#

and to top it off with people crashing the website with bot refreshes Doggo

fleet canopy
#

But does that mean you could still physically go and get the GPUs?

proper wren
#

nope

#

Most of the people that walk into the store now ask for them to mine

fleet canopy
#

ew gross

#

What if I wanted it for epic gaming>

proper wren
#

For gaming/creation then we have to make a quote, get approved by manager, transition to sales order, builds take like 2-3 weeks cause 10 builds to do

fleet canopy
#

So like

#

just buy a prebuilt pc then?

proper wren
#

pretty much

#

Prebuilts have shitty B550 motherboards and psu but better than nuthing

fleet canopy
#

You're just paying for the GPU

#

Plus extra profits as you sell the parts you didn't need from your PC for a nice price cause who gives a shit really

proper wren
#

I had a customer only wanting gpu on Sunday for her friend but we cant

fleet canopy
#

Then I'll pretend to have a bad PC

proper wren
#

She was about to buy all the worst parts and put the gpu in the system build

fleet canopy
#

proper wren
#

till I told her about the 2-3 wait time and covid lockdown wave 3 might happen soon

fleet canopy
#

So forcibly buying a 3090 with shit parts for everything else

#

Easily a red flag for nono

proper wren
#

basically

#

3200g, 8 gbs, 500w psu, b450m, etc.

#

that slap 3090 but I ain't gonna go that low and be scum

fleet canopy
#

Honestly idfk how you're supposed to get a 3090/6900XT without paying a fortune unless they're all MSRP and/or on sale

proper wren
#

we have

#

a ton of 6000 series XT cards

#

no one wants it

fleet canopy
#

owo

#

Can giv?

#

Wonder if I could actually order from Canada Computers and have it delivered to my house lmfao

proper wren
#

The 6900xt with the new driver updates beat the 3080

#

and no one wants it because is not Nvidia

fleet canopy
#

lmao

#

scrubs

proper wren
#

in terms for gaming

fleet canopy
#

Is it also lowered in price cause no one wants it?

proper wren
#

Yes

#

It blows my mind

fleet canopy
#

kek

#

What is it priced at vs msrp?

#

Like 10-20%?

proper wren
#

customer walks in, says if we have any vc

#

we say radeon only. Walks away

#

$1230CAD

#

so basically like

fleet canopy
#

Sounds like 1000$USD for me

proper wren
#

Price went up by like 150

fleet canopy
#

So much cheaper?

proper wren
#

cheaper than some 3080s

fleet canopy
#

lol

#

So yeah ig it's either 1000$ USD or something else

#

Including shipping cost taking a huge shit on me for being in merica instead of canada

#

the way you get a gpu now is buy a cheap prebuilt or alienware and steal the gpu then sell the rest.

hello I have a question, my buddy wants to play gtfo for a long time but the specs of his laptop is
cpu: intel I5 5th gen

#

gpu: nvidia geforce 940M
ram: 8gb

#

can it play gtfo?

merry bay
#

Your fps won't be great, but can definitely run the game on low settings and maybe lowered resolution.
If you buy the game via Steam directly(not key sites) you can get a full refund within 2 weeks and under 2hrs of playtime.

Enough time to see if the game works okay enough.

sharp needle
#

thanks so much

lilac geyser
#

@brisk harness : the IPS panel is probably much more color accurate than the VA

brisk harness
#

Only thing I can see color accuracy being used in is like competitive fps

#

Or like cyberpunk

lilac geyser
#

movies/videos

brisk harness
#

That's true

lilac geyser
#

pictures

simple jay
#

depends on what you're after

#

personally i like the VA panel

brisk harness
#

It's mostly video games

lilac geyser
#

whatever that titan one is, it seems like a no-name, i couldnt even find a website to see if it was freesync or gysunc

simple jay
#

has a nice balance of larger monitor, curved screen, high refresh rate

lilac geyser
#

avoid titan

brisk harness
#

Why

simple jay
#

the titan one uses a samsung panel so it seems alright to me

#

i'd try to find some review for it

#

no-name brand can by iffy

lilac geyser
#

i cant even find specs for it

brisk harness
#

Ok

#

What about the other monitor

simple jay
#

asus is well known manufacturer of gaming monitors so quality should be fine i guess

lilac geyser
#

only downside is its a bit smaller, and slightly lower refresh rate, but i would trade those off for the IPS

simple jay
#

im actually using one rn lmao

#

also after some research, titan gaming is some chinese brand

brisk harness
#

The refresh rate didn't matter too much as I'm gonna be playing max graphics on a 2060

simple jay
#

supports freesync and is ("gsync compatible")

#

whatever that means

lilac geyser
#

link?

simple jay
#

this seems to be some official promotional material

lilac geyser
#

lol who is Ricci wong hah

simple jay
#

good question lmao

brisk harness
#

If there is another better monitor I could buy for semi cheap 144hz+ I'm down to hear about it (amazon is a no go for me)

lilac geyser
#

illegal: basically nvidia cards have a good chance of working with a freesync monitor

simple jay
#

yeah i remember hearing something to that effect

lilac geyser
#

they added official support for certain monitors and unofficial support on certain monitors

#

the titan one is probably not officially certified but it might work anyway

brisk harness
#

Cant watch it rn as using data but wat is it

lilac geyser
#

that youtube channel knows some stuff about monitors

#

and its a particular video called ViewSonic VX2705-2KP-MHD Review, The Best Budget 1440p Monitor Gets Updated

#

definitely check out their other reviews though

brisk harness
#

Ok

lilac geyser
#

channel is called Hardware Unboxed

brisk harness
#

I'll take a look later and that monitor is 1/3 - 1/4 extra cost

#

And I would also have to pay for shipping probs

#

Aight thx for the help I'll do my research later

lilac geyser
#

illegal: the titan video does say samsung panel, but it might be one that did not meet samsung's standards, so they sell them to 3rd parties for cheaper, which is why its not in a samsung monitor

simple jay
#

mhm

brisk harness
#

i have rtx 3090, can i run the game?

No brother you cant the card is very cheap and you have to change it with 1660

About to replace two of my old platter drives. Both are over 50k power on hours, one is dead.

glad crypt
#

I have a 500GB SSD for my main stuff like games and I have a 500 GB HDD that I got out of my PS4 cuz not enough space that im gonna use for my build as just im not playing this game dump

cursive anvil
#

Other than that I have one smaller ssd and a large platter drive for media.

#

I run 4 HDDs, 1 boot, one media storage, and two for everything else.

glad crypt
#

4 HDDs????

cursive anvil
#

Yeah

#

A 220gb, 2x 1tb, and 2tb

#

This current build has lasted much longer than I thought it would.

5 years with no upgrades.

#

don't you get massive hitches whenever win10 feels like it

cursive anvil
#

Never had an issue.

merry bay
#

i guess having things spread out over multiple drives cushions the issue

#

pagefile usage sounds concerning too

cursive anvil
#

Win10 has been pretty stable for me.

#

Which is rather shocking.

glad crypt
cursive anvil
#

It just works

merry bay
#

if you truly don't feel it holding you back, I guess enjoy.
but you possibly lack perspective how zippy that machine could potentially be with an SSD boot drive

cursive anvil
#

The boot drive is an ssd.

glad crypt
#

At least

#

Also why in hell do you need 4 TB???

cursive anvil
#

Movies, TV shows, music, books.

#

Also games.

glad crypt
#

Wouldnt it just....

#

Be easier to get an external drive

merry bay

#

Limited USB ports

glad crypt
#

You don’t have to have it plugged in 24/7???

#

Just

#

Move your things to the external drive like movies and stuff

cursive anvil
#

I use the media drive daily, doesn't make sense to make it external.

glad crypt
#

And when you wanna watch movies

#

Why do you have a media drive

cursive anvil
#

Because my media folders were taking up too much space, so I bought a hdd to put it on.

glad crypt
#

It seems just

#

Again

cursive anvil
#

My case has rack slots for multiple drives, might as well use them.

Why didn’t you just buy an external drive

#

Then just....

#

Delete old files?

cursive anvil
#

Why?

#

I can't easily replace some of those.

#

And bandwidth isn't that great.

merry bay
#

why would it being external matter if that's the main machine
it's not a big deal at all, and it costs a premium

cursive anvil
#

I keep the things I re-watch, junk the rest.

glad crypt
#

Im not gonna judge

cursive anvil
#

Exactly. Internals are cheap, and you have plenty of data ports.

cursive anvil

You said you won't judge. Lol

glad crypt
#

Judge or question

#

Whatever

cursive anvil
#

Lol I added drives over a long period of time, much like I add more bookshelves for all the paperbacks I have. This wasn't an overnight decision, but rather one made over a course of years.

More accurate to say over the course of a decade.

Did anyone else get a Microsoft Services Agreement email? Wondering if it's malware.

merry bay
#

what did it say, what email address it was, are they asking you to log in etc.

#

look for red flags, some agreements aren't global

#

but it's odd to request further action tbh

torn ferry
#

I don't remember anymore. The link within just took me to Microsoft where they just listed changes about the agreement, and after that, I trashed the email, and changed my email's password just in case.

#

Am I just needlessly paranoid?

#

All I know is that the email probably did not say anything about the account being closed if action isn't taken, and that,
"If you continue to use our products and services on or after Ju‍ne 15, 20‍21, you are agreeing to the updated Microsoft Services Agreement."

merry bay
#

that's just standard procedure to notify if their terms get updated

#

they're required to give a heads up

#

you didn't run any files, you didn't log into any fake website.

torn ferry
#

This was all on my iPhone too, so I don't know if that makes a difference or not.

merry bay
#

sounds all clear to me. i get similar emails every now and then for various services

torn ferry
#

Was it not necessary for me to change my email password?

#

I just want to know if I should be cautious and anxious wondering if my email is now hacked, or if I'm fine and just overreacting since this is the only time I've ever clicked any link in any email.

merry bay
#

in this case it was unnecessary

torn ferry
#

What made it unnecessary? It was likely a legit email?

merry bay
#

how would that give them your password?

#

and yes it's most likely legit

torn ferry
#

I always assumed even just opening a potential phishing email even without clicking any of the links inside is enough for it to start doing harm.

merry bay
#

it's always a possibility but those cases are extremely rare, done through exploits and vulnerabilities that usually get patched up quick

#

best thing for safety you can do is enable 2 factor authentication on important accounts

#

so even if they got your password they're not in]

torn ferry
#

I'm too stupid to remember my passwords for more than a month at a time. XD

#

What would you say is the smallest and hardest to spot giveaway than an email is illegitimate?

merry bay
#

even more of a reason to get 2 factor authentication if you reuse passwords. 1 place gets breached and you'd be in trouble

there's a long list of things that could be red flags, probably more use to google something along the lines "how to spot fake emails"
saw a bunch of potential examples shown

torn ferry
#

Is the Microsoft Services Agreement actually being updated? I searched the date on the Microsoft website in the search box, and found the same article the link took me to in the email.

#

what is cpu culling workload in settings? what should i have it set to?

fleet canopy
#

Low CPU cull = Use more GPU, use less CPU
Medium = Around equal amounts of both
High = More CPU usage, less GPU usage

#

Low for GPU that's better than CPU, Med is both are equally good, High is good CPUs with lower performance GPUs

lilac geyser
#

this seems like a setting that could be automatically determined, why is it an option?

fleet canopy
#

tbh it feels incredibly useless cause for me it does nothing

proper wren
#

To make a small example lets say we have a user who is using an i3 10100 with rtx 3060

#

the i3 10100 is bottle necking the rtx 3060 due to the massive performance difference with the ghz frequency it can provide along with the performance.

#

The RTX 3060 cannot be used to its full potential because of the cpu holding it behind.

#

Pairing it up with lets say i5 11600K or 5600x, or something better now we have a nice balance, BUT same can be same with the gpu bottlenecking

#

example would be using a 5900x, great cpu with many cores and threads, outstanding performance. Pairing it up with lets say GTX 1060 3GB Videomemory. The videocard was released in 2016 and the CPU released in Late 2020

#

The architecture is still great for low end budget gaming, but is severely holding the 5900x back due to its performance.

#

GTX 1060 3GB is 1152 Cuda Cores vs RTX 3060 3584 cuda cores. 3GB videomemory vs 12GB videomemory.

spice grotto
#

Is there a comparison webpage we can input models to?

proper wren
#

There are

spice grotto
#

Searched 'cpu gpu comparison tool' lol

proper wren
#

another way to bottleneck is with monitors from 1080P/1440P/4K/8K/etc

#

atm 8k monitors/TVs are huge bottlenecks even with latest gpus.

#

same thing goes like rtx 3060ti with 1080P monitor, high performance and fps, but you don't use the full potential of the videocard.

glad crypt
#

Tested my PC works great im currently downloading stuff on it and later ill get the ethernet set up, put my steam games on the cloud and download all my games

#

And most likely ill be back and playing GTFO by tmr

#

With hopefully good frames now

cursive anvil
#

Good luck

#

@proper wren out of curiosity I have a 3060ti and about to upgrade the cpu because it's a i7 7700 and was thinking of going for a 240 fps 1080p because I play a lot of csgo, Val etc. Would I be better off just going with 1440 144hz?

merry bay
#

realistically the only games you'd hit close to 240 is CSGO, R6 and maybe Overwatch (aim is for your lows to be in that range, not your highs)

#

it's a very personal question if you care about a higher resolution outside of CSGO

#

very likely you can feel the difference between 144 and 240, but that kinda keeps you wanting to have it that smooth on everything, which isn't realistic for today

proper wren
#

People have said they seen the difference between 144 and 240hz, but is just preference

fleet canopy
#

Dunno

proper wren
#

if you really love to play fps shooters then feel free to, but if you want more pixels in your games with better experience then 1440p

fleet canopy
#

Like I guess once you experience 240Hz you really can't see 144hz the same way

merry bay
#

it's like with audio, once you get a taste of top gear, anything less feels inferior. Kinda hurts your day-to-day if you can't maintain being near the top

proper wren
#

I seen people say that they barely notice difference between 1080p and 1440p hurhur, but is only because their monitors can only support up to 1080p

#

Almost like saying you won't notice a difference if you jump from 1080p to 4K

fleet canopy
#

Because they switched the game resolution from 1080p to 1440p? E_Dumb

#

Doesn't make sense, they should be seeing 1440p!!

merry bay
#

it really is a question only you can answer yourself. gotta weigh what you value more

proper wren
#

I went with 1440p 144hz because I like that 2K experience, QWHD, G-Sync, etc.

#

Also I had RTX 2070 which I sold to a kid for $515, can only handle simple games like fortnite because shitty drivers

#

That kid is probably happy as well due to the gpu prices increase

pure arch
#

Yea true, I realize I wouldn't use the full potential of the monitor in most games, which pushes me towards 1440 because at least it's getting more utilization in everything as a whole

proper wren
#

At least

#

you will get to run Cyberpunk max settings

Generally, 4 pings are 12V, 3 pins are 5V, so they're incompatible..

proper wren

The lights will probably just do one solid color or is gonna display some nutty demo unit style.

The 4th pin is basically control of rpm and lighting

If your rgb fans have seperate 4pin connector for them. Then it needs their own plugin with 4pin rgb header

glad crypt

No

#

If I plug a 3-pin RGB thingy in a 4-pin on the motherboard

#

It’s 12v

#

And the leds are for 5v

#

It’s just gonna fry em

fleet canopy

Maybe it's controlled by the CPU/motherboard and isn't so braindead to give 12v instead of 5v?

Or not

Yeah just have fun with non rgb fans I guess

GTFO can't detect how many ram i have , how to fix it ?

You're likely confusing RAM with Video RAM

if you hit 85-90 then id start to get a little worried, but as long as you catch it there before its 85-90 for half an hour+ your pc will be fine

If you think 72c is hot just look at the 5700 xt, junction temp hits like 105c

Heyo all. I want to deep clean my PC and I'm wondering if I should get some cotton swabs and rubbing alcohol, or would compressed air cans and cloth be enough? Never really done it before but I heard people use and recommend the former.

Depends if your air is moist enough for dust to stick to your components over time. Would try air first, might be enough.
I like getting a very soft brush to displace some dust. Just be careful, some brushes have metal near the end, possible to short stuff.

meager roost
#

Alrighty, thank you!

Also if you are using a brush, it doesn't hurt to turn off the pc and disconnect it from all power inputs.

I think he'd have an easier time convincing a duck that its a wolf. Scalpers are scum and deserve to be shunned and osctrasized.
