so they ramp up with temps
i don't like the sound of them curving though
so i want to set them at a static 50-60%
make it gradual
mine goes from off to 100% really quickly
so when idling the fans are off entirely
oooh i see
yeah
i should do that
i've read online that the P12's also have this resonance with it between 800-1200rpm when it changes during those
but keep in mind your cooling solution MUST be able to keep the temps in check passively for this to work
else you'll need at least some airflow over it
oh π
it's a cheap cpu cooler
so i'm trying to figure out how to cool a power unlocked i5
the inefficiency is real with me (11400f 100w draw)
yeah I have full water loop on mine
so the chungus radiator can passively cool it
but it has thermal probes out the wazoo to monitor it
ah i see
can't the pump just move the water to cool it
without the fans
yeah π
that's lucky fo you
a probe before the intake, a probe after the intake, a probe under the GPU, a probe in the PSU/HDD basement and a probe at exhaust
coupled with the integrated sensors in the GPU, mobo, PSU and CPU
oh wow
i just run those uh
block coolers
not even LP coolers
it's like an intel stock cooler with a 120mm fan
I have a water loop that cools the CPU and VRM
the GPU is air cooled
mostly because the case has a ton of airflow
and because I have a hub controller for the RGB, fans and probes I can manually adjust the per fan speed as needed to improve airflow and lower temps
granted this makes the pc sound close to the servers in terms of noise when running full blast
HOLY FUCK
lmfao
why is it being used for that π
mfw linux based device is used for turret π
All 10th/11th gen are like this
My 11600kf can draw upto 200w
Which is gonna be super toasty
But sustained power draw is 125-150w
Never seen it draw more than 150w sustained
Which is around the maximum my old Hyper 212 was able to handle
Thats why i had to upgrade to something more effective
Some cores used to hit 92c xd
Which is within the soft throttle range
When i had no fans running, it was instantly hitting 85c
same
Its still helpful incase you use more ram than you have
But still would cause slow downs
Since well
Storage is slower than Dram
Unless you have PCIe gen 5 NVme and ddr3 rams somehow xD
3600 Mhz memory and Gen 3 NVme aswell xD
ewwwww
^
If i want to replace that NVme i have to remove the cooler
Since it literally covers the M.2 slot
what happens if you do
the nvme cooler
does the thermal pad have to be replaced haha
or is it reusable
Unless its too wet or dry its fine
i see
Or they are torn
yeah
okok i see
i'll just keep that in until it dies
pcie gen 3.0 is already fast enough for me
2gb/s is insane for what I do
Mine is probably the same then
yeah
Been using it since 2019
I would get 2TB NVme to ditch my 1TB HDD
so i have 1 less HDD and more room to hide my cables xD
Which i already did good job doing
i see
i've been using mines since 2020
but i've only ramped up usage extremely in 2023
since i rebuilt my PC
my original PC was an NZXT ATX build, and i migrated over to a smaller M-ATX build
And its still in good condition
better temps too jeses
Mine was S340
but a lot of the parts was missing
since it came as a prebuilt
i was too embarrased to ask my parents to let me build a normal system
so i just asked for a prebuilt
I had to save to buy my 1st PC
My 2nd PC is mostly 2nd hand parts
Which made me save alot on such massive upgrade
yeah
nice
i'm planning on getting used RAM only though
i'd rather have shittier parts but new
i'm never playing chances
The PCs before that we had in house were HP and those companies pre-builts
ah yes, i wonder: This for 100 bucks, or just Arctic P12's (PWM with daisy) for 50 dollars
gpddamit
at least you can server them a littl ebit
yep
But as my useage got way heavier
Pentium 4 isnt enough
So i had to save up and build one
yeah lmfao
this was my first pc
never actually had a desktop before this
so i will always be satisfied with anything haha
There is always at least 1 desktop in my house all the time xD
Gaming or not
Current and last PC were mid-range PCs
I dont like calling them gaming pc
Since i use them for everything
haha nice
this is the only PC
i try to keep this room as clean as possible too
i plan to get some budget parts and assemble a cheap family desktop
i don't like prebuilt stuff, they always disgust me for a reason
My friend got one for 1500$
He always tell me
1500$ down the drain
You cant upgrade rams with them now (unless you get those naked CL22 rams from them)
NZXT at least use standard parts
yep
hence why i immigrated over to m-atx
props to their team for giving me some godly parts for the price
for me to scrap
I got ripped off on my 1st PC aswell (since i bought all parts locally)
But not as hard as you xD
And considering that i bought parts at the end of crisis
Im planning to build something like this too
Probably with i3-12100F
and GT 730 - 1030
There isnt used i3-12100 or 13100 non F
And new once are like 130$ or 150$
Now that someone prompted me to check...
I'm not really sure how exactly they are allocated
WTF
You dont need all of that for paging
oh lmfao
he has good specs
he runs servers or sum
i'll raise my paging size to 16gb once i go from 500gb to 1tb and get my ram from 16 to 32+
It's a fuckin' laptop smh
Torturing it
fair enough
I killed my AMD R7 M260 2GB last time i did that xD
It died while playing GTA San Andreas
Like WTF
Is that a game that kills a GPU 

I just leave it at system managed
It died during lockdown
I see
Now im worried about my PC xD
Like i find 72872873MB
Im too lazy go check my PC rn
And wait for my screen to stop acting broken
Even my 7 Inch monitor needs to warm up when i start the PC cold
But it doesnt glitch that bad
My 22 Inch monitor is the only monitor that just works xD
Without acting funny for a minute
Even if i used VGA
It just works π
I have an HDMI to VGA adapter lying around
The only adapter that idh is DVI
I never used DVI xD
I used RCA, S-Video, VGA, HDMI, DP
Never seen myself in a situation that i needed to use DVI
I always carry a toolbox according to once of my friend π
If i came with my bag, its literally portable workbench π
I was working with my friends in a project, i busted out a portable monitor and a multimeter and started to work xD
2nd portable monitor makes me gets work done a lot faster (sometimes 50% less time)
So yeah, i dont use 2-3 monitors to flex
Uhh
you know we're all gonna laugh when the fans kick on for whatever reason right? XD
π
oh no i stuck it in the fan blade
it kinda clunked
but it's fine now
they spin at a really low rpm (sub 1000RPM)
the exhaust fans have it sad
it has to deal with such high heat from the system
One of them exhausts cold air
Like that area in the case is empty
I have large area in the case being empty
Its designed for 5.25β bay
But never used
I can use it for water cooling shit tho
Which i wont
Paying 600$+
And having to do regular maintenance
Thats 80s technology
Or if you have CD drive
Or floppy disk (if you still use them for some reason)
Haha
Last time i used it was in 2003?
Very long time ago
Even CDs
If i ever needed to use one, i just bust out my external CD Rom
Even some people stopped using SATA
πππ
Ik it can do at least 20km
I donβt depend on that digital indicator
I depend on the good old needle indicator
this is just unrealistic
agreed lmfao
you need hours of time to physically access their device fTPM
24 hour ass project π
oh yeah
isn't intel changing their naming scheme
seems really dumb
It's downright *stupid
Yesn't.
For most common scenarios, it's s waste of time.
But say I were to "somehow" obtain a device from a rivalling enterprise? π
Then that time spent on is using this vulnerability might suddenly become worth it.
if you had such a device for such a long time it's easier to just wait for the person to log in than spend that time trying to crack it
and if you "stole" it then the company will notice the missing computer and damage control way before you get your hands on something useful
Most of the damage control won't do much tho...
The files will still be on the device...
do you realize that nobody keeps trade secrets willy nilly on a office issue computer that any employee can access right
You'd be surprised how hilariously common it is even 
this whole vulnerability is basically "I can pick this super complex lock that requires hours of patience" to which any other solution would be "just chop down the door"
shows how much you've worked in the enterprise space then
Shows how much you've worked with Dutch Government instances. 
and I'm sure those computers run latest ryzen processors
on windows 11
with bitlocker enabled
latest? Not really.
But I've seen plenty of Zen2 based machines.
Bitlocker is pretty common.
W11, not really but W10 is.
then those bitlocker instances are secured with passwords
which makes this point moot
Nope, TPM.
awfully convenient that you are building this imaginary ideal enviroment for this vuln to maybe be exploited
that doesn't have other security malpractices or vulnerabilities
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
Awfully convenient how you appear to know more about how the devices are setup than the guy that worked for a (there are multiple) company providing the damn things. 
If you know so much, go work for our govt.
Maybe you'll be able to fix the shitfest that is their IT 
why didn't you fix it if you're oh so smart
Probably because:
a. I didn't have the authority.
b. I didn't work for the govt directly (company I worked for just installed the devices according to the specifications agreed upon by govt + my higher ups).
ah so now you're bringing the excuses out
So basically you just followed the dumb then?
Or am I missing most of this conversation here
basically twisting their narrative to make a big deal out of a voltage glitch vuln
cope.
lmao says the person that keeps changing the story to suit their needs
There was not much dumb going on that I could do about.
- We just installed the system according to specs agreed upon by govt + my higher ups.
- We delivered them.
- Not our fault they lost a few devices here n there (left it in trains n such).
Tho luckily they had BitLocker + TPM (as per spec) so there (as far as I'm aware off) haven't been major data leaks.
This may change it (altho unlikely retroactively on the devices previously lost)
Clearly you know more about the work I did than I do 
Oh what the hell 
(source: videocardz.com)
I can't really make up from the article what the "Ultra" is going to do (is it like just additional naming with no meaning or?) but holy crap that's scuffed. 
Literally take the least annoying part of the branding and changing it instead of the more annoying parts (feel free to disagree but I hate that "K"/"KF"/"HX"/"HK" etc. etc. part) 
Yeah, it's really stupid (the Ultra) change
The numbers afterwards too
Jesus
I HATE the way consumer naming has gone
Like with AMD
Why couldn't you have gone 680/780, ect?
And NVidia, why not 1180, 1280, or atleast 2180, 2280? Ect
Boils my blood, for real
yea, that jump from 1080 -> 2080 and then just continue as 3080 -> 4080 was so scuffed holy.
I still remember when the 2080 didn't release yet and everyone was calling it the 1180 XDD
I try to worry more about the specs. Naming will never be sensible.
true but sensible naming should (imho) reveal info about the specs itself.
I also hate that "Ti", "Super", "XT" and "XTX" cringe, ngl...
Just make it XX65, XX68 etc. or something...
I don't want to remember whether the Ti is supposed to be better than the Super or not and have it wrong. 
Just be a Chad and go the MikroTik route: CCR2004-1G-12S+2XS
CCR-> Cloud Core Router2xxx-> Seriesx0xx-> Reserved (unused)04-> Core count.1G-> 1x 1G port.12S+-> 12x 10G SFP+ ports.2XS-> 2x 25G SFP+ ports.
No need to look online everything is right there and people that don't know what it means will have a stroke. 
That's reminding me on how the vin numbers on cars tell you what trim level, engine, color, and make it is
Yeah I picked that info up on a series called Graveyard Cars, where the guy would explain what part of the numbers meant what
Nice.
I do check VINs a lot when helping friends buy cars but I honestly never even realized that.
Tho it makes sense now that I've heard of it.
F-me now I have the urge to walk down to my car and check its VIN 
Interesting... according to my VIN, I have a 2004 car but it's from 2001 XD
hmm
idk
i'm fine with X and S
like series s and series x
but then XT XTX TI SUPER
is weird
just make the numbers shorter and more defined
it's just advertising fad
disgusting stuff
Well I rather have it as a VIN setup so I would know what's what
oh
id rather still a simpler scheme for computer parts
like
intel core 5114
intel core 9139
idk seems easier
(9)(13)(9)
or make it even easier
here let me try amd
AMD 790
799x
799x (x)?????
issue is they use numbers so stupidly
honestly lmfao
intel core i5-21400f sounds better than intel core ultra 2103
yay
seems like intel 8086 to me xD
ππ yeah
apparently theyβre getting a new making scheme
theyβre losing profits
yep, to AMD
theyβre digging a grave for themselves
fcking bech
even nvidia doesnβt name their gpus that bad
the problem with AMD here is its a lot more expensive to build
itβs just super and Ti
even super was used once
U
There is T too xD
yeah
those funny funny dum cpus
iirc there were P cpus
integrated motherboard cpus
intel? itβs fine the way it is
complicating it is really horrible
making more cpus isnβt helpful, some places canβt stock that much
imagine seeing Core Ultra 5 1406KFHS
adding ultra to everything is pretty shit too
yeah ππππ
that seems like a product number
because it will be
would it be HFKS tho
since H as mobile
F for ni gpu
and then KS for peak oc
unlocked binned
what will be PHUB?
wait no
itβs FHUB
F
H
UB for unlock binned
instead of KS
fucking trolling intel harsh
let me get on pc so i can type better
H and U cancel each other xD
H = high performance, U = Ultra low power
high peroformance mobile xD
B as binned
intel core ultra max 5 1409
X = super
F = no GPU
H = mobile
U = unlocked
B = binned
which is all of them
G for garbage :s
π
it's such a fking troll
i hate intels naming scheme and their high power outputs
G also was used fcor those who has iGPU
yeah for AMD
and 3D
seems like a GPU name tho xD
at least unlike intel, is getting apple slowly with names
yeah that's the gpu 7900 xt

exactly the thing I was referring to XD
14nm enchanced and upgraded virtually 10nm
goofy ass marketing

my 11400f draws 100 watts
11600kf draws double that
THE ONLY REASON WHY IS CUZ IT'S THROTTLING
on stock
IF I ACTUALLY unlocked it it'll break itself
i need a 360mm AIO to cool and i5 with unlocked TDP
yes
300W is alot for CPU xD
We really need more RISC-based stuff D:
RISC doesnt run old apps
RISC won't solve much if it's just intel being lazy
it will create problems if its not done correctly
i don't really like ARM either
why?
it's always stereotyped as the "lightweight architecture"
I personally like ARM quite a bit.
im running alot of very old apps xD
advanced REVERB microarchitecture
so i guess ARM would cause alot of issues to me
yeah
and theose converters?
translators?
they're horrible
inneficient
and it's not solving an issue if you're running something slower with more power draw
depends on what you run ofc... I have an ARM-based laptop and run into practically no real compatibility issues.
so i personally believe that x86/x64 is superior
i daily drive a m2 macbook air and nothing is wrong
yeah
i know
all apps can run on it
why?
their rosetta 2 is just there
i really don't like it
I mean, that seems more an issue of 3rd party support (which is also starting to catch up) rather than the architecture being better or worse.
Yes, X86-64 has better software support but that doesn't really make it better.
It's horribly bloated, the recent additions made it worse, it wastes a lot of the transistor budget on things like AVX256 and now AVX512...
Overall, I think that ARM is superior to X86-64 by a landslide.
Just need to get more software support for it (even though a lot of software most people need is already there).
AVX 256 and 512 are being cut off
being only used by AVX2
there is no ARM desktop chip
if there is never one high performing ARM chip
i will never fully support ARM
i use ARM daily, yes, and i do like it
i do hope intel still somehow pushes forward
and i hope that machine learning/ AI moves to openCL instead of CUDA proprietary
i fucking hate cuda
and how it's always locked in
if dont, we will have same as FX ERA
AMD does incremental upgrades for 129837281379821 Years
Depends on what you call "desktop"... since Avantek has one iirc (altho it's more of a "workstation" chip).
Qualcomm is rumoured (so take it with a grain of salt) to announce one in 2024.
ARM is bound to catch up if X86-64 manufacturers don't move forward faster...
my phone has dead power ic from them
which i cant find any shop that wants to replace it xD
they're the Intel 3.0 of ARM
i have replacement parts
overheating, super shit naming scheme, super overpriced
i hate qualcomm a lot
i hope they don't exist
and something else actually makes better products than they do
to access qualcomm products and samples you basically need a blood sacrifice and a NDA that if you breach it you get nuked from orbit
yes
i donβt like unquan
personally iβm more a βpaper and wipeβ than a βthocc keyboardβ type
told myself i wouldnβt lose earbuds
cuz i bought the biggest one
nope.
i lost yet another pair
this time, ITS THE CASE I LODT
i can buy a case for 40 cad on ebay
I know this sounds cringe who listens to online radio
Oh lord, haven't heard of Slam in ages xD
Isn't it basically the same with Intel, AMD and Nvidia tho?
not really
they just have a agreement with you that if you need this paperwork and hardware to build a product that you'll put in a specific order amount each quarter
since they know that if you need their raw product then you're making a commercial product
qualcomm on the other hand guards its SoCs like they're dragon eggs
Ah fair
that's why you don't see SBCs or other open source projects use qualcomm chips
broadcom docs are open but you need to put in a minimum order quantity with them to get stock
and the MOQ is 10k units
you also have allwinner and rockchip but both of those are chinese and nobody can get datasheets on them
at least ones that are as well documented as any western chip manufacturer
and translated in english
which is why their kernel support is shoddy at best
what about Samsung's home made Exynos SoC Chips
no idea, never inquired into those
FOG is so smart π
das crazy bro knows the stuff
fuck yeah
i love windows and its stupid funny shit
i deleted every registry i could find with network
i broke it even more
i'm happy now, better to not have internet than to have ethernet "2"
fixed it
yep, took me a full hour to remove the Ethernet number
It was shit with low life span
Like 2 years in it becomes so slow and hot
After 3 years the phone becomes hardly useable
At least thats my experience with those chips
tfw customer wants to use AES for "securing" passwords "because it's what the tutorial he read did so it must be good" 
Didn't want to believe us when we said it was better to use SHA-384 or Argon2 but no, that wasn't that the tutorial said so they probably weren't as good for password security 
what does that have to do with accessibility and documentation
Oh, was talking in another topic i guess xD
apple silicon goes without saying that unless you work in the doughnut building you're not even getting an ounce of info on it
Luckily NXP doesn't have a minimum order and datasheets are "decent enough" (afaik, I only had to use them once to fix a car)
NXP, STM32, ESP, AVR are all a different breed of ARM chips
Is it good? 2TB M.2 for 87$ approx
I used NXP microcontroller before
It wasnt the fastest nor the greatest
But its way smaller than Arduino and performs nearly the same
But at least thier datasheet was detailed af

goodbye kyle it was a nice time watching you and your content all these years ever since you started your channel
you'll be missed a lot
for 87$ sounds too good to be true
Its retailed by amazon
This is the 1TB version but you should be able to get the info you need:
https://www.servethehome.com/pny-cs1030-1tb-m-2-nvme-ssd-review/
Its not gonna be the OS drive
you want a DRAM cache
Itβs definitely better
unless all you do is copy and store files on it
But for secondary drive not as important
PNY is a good brand but knowing scamazon you might get scammed of your money
Thats the case
then it'll do
My main drive is the 970 pro
Which served me well for the last 4 years
And still got lots of live left on it
I also have a 970 pro 1TB
Im using 5 years old 860 pro in my laptop
Which definatly tells me how important is DRAM
5 years and doesnβt slow down
well that's the beauty of overprovisioning
Yep
For mass storage i use 4TB HDD 5400 RPM
and 1 TB HDD 7200 RPM (Which im planning yo ditch)
my pc is all SSD
1TB HDD nowadays is useless
the servers are just chuck full of spinning drives
At least in my country
the storage ones at least
1TB HDD β 1TB SSD in price
yeah SSDs dropped dramatically in price
Like the difference is at most 8$
Which always worth it
If my 1TB HDD died in my PS4
Iβll just toss an SSD
and forget about it
I have alot of dead 2.5β HDDs in my drawer
I have 2 4TB SATA SSDs in RAID0 in the pc for mass storage
the same evos you were mentioning
being in RAID0 does give a substantial boost to perf
since it's hardware RAID not software
Im trying to go all Solid state, but it will take time
7200 RPM or NAS drives are more durable for bulk mass storage imo but it's up to you on what you can get and afford
Couldnt find 4TB 7200 RPM
NAS drives just have a bigger warranty and a stricter QC, that's where the price increase over consumer ones comes from
tbf, saying "are more durable" and then adding "imo" doesn't sound like a good idea 
Durability should be based on data, not opinions.
I meant as in my opinions on NAS Drives after using 20TB NAS drives for the last 10 years on my office server and WFH NAS
I can't give much data on the lower capacity drives as I've mostly moved to 16 and 20TB drives but there's a lot of factors that will determine the reliability of the drive
amount of IO, manufacturer, manufacturing location, batch, operating environment, capacity, etc
generally the big ones (12 TB and up) are more reliable due to the more complex manufacturing process
that requires a lot more thorough QC
Makes me wonder if there's a measurable reliability difference between CMR and SMR drives.
One of my friend said that some generic Chinese brands uses the same NAND type
Which made me worry a bit
But if its TLC then good
At least not those QLC chips
the NAND is the least of the problems in SSDs
the main concern is what controller it runs and what DRAM it has
if it has any
for the low end budget options sure
but the value oriented ones still have DRAM
you lose so much perf without a DRAM cache that it's not funny
speaking of SSDs
Yeah, even for mass storage, I'd stretch for DRAM
Even if it means going for a SATAIII drive over an NVMe
I should get a PS5 SSD since I filled its internal storage
I have one DRAMLESS SSD in my pc
Sometimes it becomes as slow as HDD
My boot drive is DRAMless
Cost me Β£10
Yet I use an A2000 for mass, lol
I have the 970 pro for boot, a intel NVMe SSD for a scratch disk and 2 860 evos (I think?) in RAID0 for bulk storage
I may pick up a WD or samsung gen4 NVMe for the PS5
since the 1TB models are so cheap
I have an 860 QVO for boot, 2x970 for games + resolve (proxies n stuff) and the rest is just Toshiba HDDs.
I want to ditch my HDD soon
I'm not using mechanical drives in my normal computers but for mass storage you can't beat them
Unless you are willing to sell a kidney
Also in servers lifespan is a factor
SSDs generally live longer than mechanical
If you used SSDs in heavily used server with enough Write cycles you can kill it quickly
but SSDs die suddenly compared to HDDs that gradually degrade
that used to be back in the day
nowadays they're more reliable than mechanical for the same warranty period
I analyzed my SSD useage
obv any drive would die prematurely if you'd constantly put it under stress
I need 100 years to kill it
A2000 gang π€
2 of my friends just bought one
Anyone ever heard of "Unisoc" (formerly "Spreadtrum")? Just saw a video on that Nokia G22 but never heard heard of Unisoc so idk if they are even remotely decent?
Putting RAM with unsupported timings/frequency should still run, just capped at the best the platform supports, right?
Probably, you can play with timings manully too
If the kit is 3200 CL16 and best is 2666
You can tighten the timings βnot so recommendedβ
If your system is mostly used for gaming, dont really bother
I upgraded from 2400Mhz CL16 to 3600Mhz CL18, not much of a difference, other than micro stuttering
The difference came on applications that are memory intensive
There are many systems that support 2666Mhz running 3200Mhz kit here
Just run XMP/Expo and carry on
The funny thing is that my old 2400Mhz self overclocked itself to 2666 xD
Yesn't.
So just be careful when enabling XMP that these do not exceed your platform's capabilities.
Below that? you're fine.
What motherboard + CPU do you have?
X99-A + 6800K
2400MT/s should be easily doable.
2666MT/s should also be possible.
Anything above that would be a risk I'd rather not take (just not worth it imho).
So don't try to jam a 3200MT/s kit in there and enable XMP, setup may not like it. 
I feel like I may as well get a 3200/3600MHz CL16 kit anyways, no? My next platform will probably be AM4
Depends on the price differences I suppose
yea, just keep in mind you will have to setup your speed manually and not use XMP.
Currently running 3x4GB 2133Hz CL14
yea... again, just be careful with XMP and you'll be more than fine. 
Alright, thanks
Any suggested kits that I could check the prices of? I'd prefer RGB, but it's not a necessity
Not out of my head.
G.Skill is pretty solid in general.
I enabled XMP, tried to OC my memory to 3733
Didnt posted until i restarted my PC
It was stable at 3733
I would try 3866 next
If the same 4000
Probably wouldnt push it further than 4000Mhz
After 4000 is pretty useless
Why? Im curious
Unlike my friend whoβs OC freak
He like to OC everything π
He even told me that he i used to his stuff dying
putting things under LN2 isn't very uncommon for me either. 
I guess iβll keep my gpu OCed a bit 24/7
Gently OCed
+5% power limit, 1965Mhz boost, +500Mhz memory (its samsung VRAMs)
It can do +1150Mhz max
My old GPU was samsung too, it could do +1300Mhz
I think my GPU is the only thing I didn't bother overclocking...
Then again, it's a Strix RX 580... Shitbrick with like 0 headroom anyways. 
Lmao
I had RTX 2070
Which pushed to 2040Mhz on stock with fresh new thermal paste xD
nice
My current GPU has -15Mhz less overclocking headroom
I mean tbf, I bought thix RX 580, 16GB of RAM, a B450 Prime Plus and 1700X for like 150 bucks about 4 years ago so I'm not complaining much.
And -150Mhz on memory
Nice
Moving from MSI GPU to Palit GPU
yuh, was basically a steal considering the GPU alone already went for about 250 at the time. 
Which isnt bad company
My 2070 used to worth 800$ during crisis
yea, those times were whack
I had an RX480 back in the day that I bought for 95 bucks (2nd hand, already 2 years old) and sold for 400 
Nice xD
I wouldβve got 3090 for 800$ now
Or add 130$ and get brand new 4070Ti
But i still dont regret not selling my GPU
I seen someone who got really hard hit
rn I'm not really in the market... GPUs are too expensive imo and I don't wanna risk buying Intel Arc just yet.
He was asking 130$ for GTX 770 during crisis
I told my friend to offer him 80$ and take it
That guy refused
Now he is still selling it xD
Rn it probably worths 20$?
IDK, I've seen people have fair gains
I got quite a bit out of my 570
Stonks
I saw someone sell his RTX2080Ti for like 200 bucks because the RTX3090 got announced 
"I'll be without GPU for like a few days" he said.
But he couldn't get one and had to settle for a GTX1660 (which costed him $250) so he wouldn't be without a GPU for much longer.
I laughed my bloody ass off that day when he told me.
Yea there are some RX 580's that can get stupid gains... But none of them are Strix's that I'm aware off.
Strix was Asus' "budget gaming" line back then and everything on it it "just enough".
Yea... I warned him, he didn't listen and I had a big smirk on my face about 2 weeks later. : >
Why should i keep them xD
if i went back in time, I wouldβve bought like 10-15 GPUs
Especially the part that he lost $50 and had to downgrade from an RTX2080Ti to a GTX1660 
And sell them during crisis
If I went back in time I would have told my parents to let me buy my 10K BTC for like 15 bucks. 
But i didnt seen it coming π€£
Same haha
Also i never sell my GPU
before having my new one up and running
Well... I mean... I actually wanted to buy 10K BTC for 15 bucks back in the day to experiment more with the stuff (back when Crypto was still fun to play with and discover)...
They refused saying it's trash and blablabla.
Sure, it's trash but I could have secured my financial life with it 
Yeah π€£
I blame myself for sitting under a rock
Also ik my parents wouldβve told me
like the experimentation on it was the primary objective but I wouldn't have said no to a few million bucks in profits π

My brother invested in BTC in 2021
Told him to sell if it hitted 68k
He didnt
I seen the drop coming there ππ€£
Every time i tell him he tells me
βiTs A lOnG tErM iNvEsTmEnTβ
I didnt had money to invest
Otherwise i wouldβve sold at 68k
And tripled that at 17k
The rest is for me
ah yes, your brother is going for the diamond hands 
Having shitty idea
To make my PC start with a key π
Idh children in my house, which makes it useless
my CO2 laser cutter requires a key interlock to start
so it's not that dumb of an idea
Seems like good safety measurement
But not for a PC π
you can't turn the key without closing the lid
If i have children in my house, I wouldβve got one
and you can't open the lid with the key engaged
Nice
This key is for bikes
But ik with some electrical skills
I can convert it to PC one
Yep into power switch
But if im doing it the right way
I need to put it between the case button and the power switch
you can wire them in parallel with the case button
Yep
so either or turns them on
Nah, im using it to enable or disable power button
if you put them in series you'll need both to be engaged to turn it on
so like a killswitch
Exactly
I have that on my UAVs
Noone of my brothers has diagnostic skills to fix that xD
If someone did that to me
I can just bypass it
Open the case, remove the power switch and use screw driver
Completely bypassed
that if god forbid the battery catches on fire midflight or some other fatal issue happens I can kill the power and flight capabilities with a turn of a key
Oh yeah, its useful
my friend that does model rockets uses that for the flight termination system
my ali purchase history would put me on some sort of watchlist lmao
mine is full of big drone parts
If i got an anime pillow or mouse pad, if it made it throughout customs
It wont make it through my houseβs customs
I have a waifu mousepad
Like my friend
He told me that his dad seen it and told him nothing
I told him my parents would throw it and thow me with it π€£
My aliexpress is buy list is full of phones and diagnostics gadgets
And replacement for stuff
very old picture
yes sir
Same as mine
the 1st gen K70
same as mine
Pentium 4 2.66Ghz
1GB memory
Mobo GPU
320GB HDD
the pc is fairly old for its age
but when I originally bought it, the specs were top of the line
that's good already
Currently i have RGB mouse pad with wireless charging
2 of those pics are commissions
Corsair Virtouso SE which i got for less than 100$
Corsiar K70 LUX Red LED
and Glourous Model D mouse
the whole collage for the mousepad I made in like half an hour in photoshop
Everyone sees my Corsair Virtouso thought i spent the whole 250$ on it xD
Im not rich to buy it on that price i tell them
oooh i see
Nice
8700K @ 5.3GHz
128GB DDR4-3000 RAM
MSI 1080 Ti
500GB NVMe SSD
2x4TB SATA SSD RAID0
Thats cool
that's like better than my pc
Its equal to mine π
it's fairly old by today's standards
Its my dreams pc in 2018
yeah back then it was literally top of the line
it is from 2018 or so
I ended up getting i5-8400 and GTX 1050Ti (later upgraded it to RTX 2070)
This is a solid mood.
oh and it has a custom water loop
Nice
courtesy of EKWB
i wish i could watercool my gpu but damn it's 300 dollars for a waterblock
definitely not worth unless i run into some sort of clearance issue
Because i couldnt see those tiny screw holes
hehe
the only change from then is that it sometimes gets a 4090 slotted into it for when I want to play smth demanding or MSFS
i see
i don't have space for a 4090 in this case
wait
actually, let me check the clearance
mine BARELY fits
My case is pretty spacious
mine is a full tower
Im trying to hunt for good deal on 3080
3 intake in the front, 3 exhaust on the top and 1 in the back
the case alone is heavy, with the whole pc build inside that thing is heavy
like you can break ur back if you don't lift it correctly heavy
mine is a steel case with glass panels
nice
doe my next pc will probably be either a steam deck or a SFF build
i'll stick to budget parts for m-atx builds
i don't really have a use for ATX or an ITX build
ATX is too huge to fit
m-atx is just nice
So yeah, i can have portable PC
I'm tired of my pc occupying half my damn desk
oh i put mines on the floor
MATX cases are pretty shit. Just go with a small ATX tower
Same as me π€£
mine currently sits on the window
ehh, even compact ATX kits are shit
i don't like them
PC + x2 monitors
3 monitors for me
3rd monitor barly counts
MATX is shit because you restrict yourself out of ATX boards for hardly anys aving
Since its just 7 inch raspberry pi display
it's significant for me ITTx
the versa h17 to the h510 nzxt
it's a pretty big difference if you ask me
am i losing out on much? No i'm not tbh
but I also have other tools on my desk like oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, logic analyzer, power supply and those also take up space, space that was previously taken by the pc
π FOG is a technical guy
I may buy phone disassembly tools
Might learn how to repair phones
my SMD station with all the soldering gear sit on the adjacent table
It's significant to nobody./ MATX cases suck. Go with a small ATX tower or go ITX
fair
I have eATX 
π he has space
