Gonna buy a 1TB ssd soon 
violet nexus
cable grooming ahaha
tame topaz
yeah rn Aria's setup is quite... minimal to say the least
stone wave
just dan
tame topaz
6
flint bobcat
stone wave
different sizes
flint bobcat
I got 3
tame topaz
Front can take 3 120
stone wave
the ones i gave you were 140mm
tame topaz
Top can take 2 120 or 2 140
tame topaz
rear takes 1 120
flint bobcat
So install fans now?
stone wave
fans are annoying to install
tame topaz
Indeed
stone wave
could just install them and not plug them in
tame topaz
but yeah Aria
unplug that CPU cable for now to make it obstruct less when installing fans
and to reroute it later as well
@stone wave what fans did you give 'im?
flint bobcat
Ok fixed CPU connector
stone wave
Phanteks
just the basic black and grey ones that they include in their cases
pulled from a Phanteks P600s
tame topaz
Remove the dust filter on top first
and wait
remember that rear and front only accepts 120
so those big boi fans will have to go on top
flint bobcat
Ah ok
tame topaz
You're gonna have to buy new fans if you wanna install it on the front
flint bobcat
Aight
tame topaz
(which would also involve in you ripping out the front of the case)
stone wave
I think they're these fans http://www.phanteks.com/PH-F140SP.html
flint bobcat
stone wave
not sure since i never checked
tame topaz
alright while installing TAKE NOTE OF THE ORIENTATION!
flint bobcat
tame topaz
For the top fans you'd want the air to be blown out of the case, not in
Try spinning the fan with your hand to see which side the air is blown to
flint bobcat
This way up?
tame topaz
again spin it with your hand just to be sure
stone wave
flint bobcat
Ok got it
umbral onyx
Continuing breast softbody
Scaled a breast and rotated it
Mesh Vertices doesn't adjust accordingly
I don't even know where to begin calculating for the rotation although I've calculated for the scale.
I wish unity have some magic world to mesh rotation
stone wave
take the fat screws i showed you earlier and screw them in
tame topaz
Remove the dust filter on top first
stone wave
oh right
umbral onyx
Just get someone else to do it for you if you lack the knowledge
Wouldn't want to spoil your stuff would you?
tame topaz
and long
stone wave
stone wave
no thats if you're using a radiator
violet nexus
too long
flint bobcat
Ok got the right ones
umbral onyx
Smol hand
flint bobcat
stone wave
ye
tame topaz
yep
stone wave
and careful Aria, Zilf gonna go Sol on your hand.
flint bobcat
umbral onyx
I need to send my laptop for repairs
fan is making noise
But I'm afraid of the price
tame topaz
small price to pay for salvation
umbral onyx
How much is fan repairs usually?
stone wave
idk people usually just replace the entire assembly
umbral onyx
My laptop is a custom build type
stone wave
beats me then
umbral onyx
But only built from the company
stone wave
it might be a standard part
umbral onyx
The kind where you pick the parts and they build it
tame topaz
@flint bobcat put the fan inside of the case, hold it up to the case while you're screwing in
Line the fan up to the holes on the top first
stone wave
cause it could just be one of these types of deals https://www.ebay.com/itm/CPU-Cooling-Fan-for-DELL-Inspiron-5368-5378-5568-7569-13-7000-15-5000-NEW/302898801478
flint bobcat
Ohhh
stone wave
its kind of annoying to screw in aria
but you can try asking the manufacturer Zilf, they might provide the part number or the part itself which would make getting it repaired more straight forward
violet nexus
or uhhhhh
tame topaz
no it's not supposed to shift
stone wave
have fun aria
lol
i did say they're a PITA
mine always end up being installed at an angle and i have to redo that shit a few times
stone wave
stone wave
did you screw in all 4 holes?
flint bobcat
stone wave
install the other fan
flint bobcat
stone wave
the 2 of them should prevent each other from moving
flint bobcat
Ok fans installed
stone wave
they're not moving no more?
flint bobcat
Yeah no more movement
stone wave
you can plug em in or leave them unplugged
cause having just 2 fans blow the same direction causes weird air flow
which means fast dust build up
but if you don't care you can just plug em in
flint bobcat
I'll plug em in
stone wave
just plug them in to SYS FAN or where ever on the motherboard
stone wave
lol i guess you only have 1 fan header
stone wave
its matx so not too surprising
flint bobcat
Ok next thing
stone wave
just buy a fan hub off of amazon next time your order something
flint bobcat
Nah it's fine, later on I'm gonna get a new mobo
stone wave
that works too
stone wave
motherboard needs the 24 pin and the 8 pin
after that is front i/o
the USB ports, audio etc
flint bobcat
Oh the USB and stuff
stone wave
and the power, reset buttons and LEDs
flint bobcat
Ok that's on the back
stone wave
the case should have front i/o
flint bobcat
Let's start with power I guess
stone wave
flint bobcat
Is it power sw?
stone wave
do you remember those loose cables from the case i keep mentioning
stone wave
flint bobcat
Oh yeah what about those
stone wave
flint bobcat
Wut
stone wave
Green = Power Switch
Pink = Reset
flint bobcat
Ah ok thanks
stone wave
orange and blue are LEDs but I can't make out the text in the image
so refer to the silkscreen diagram for the pin layout for JFP1 on your motherboard
you can also leave out the LEDs
if you don't care
flint bobcat
LED's from case?
stone wave
and hdd activity light
like a little light to show the computer is on
and a little blinking light to show the hard drive is doing something
stone wave
in that case line it up with the power one
(ignore the most right reset pin)
and use the left 2
notice the diagram on the motherboard
stone wave
note the diagram
can you make out the text?
it corresponds with the pins on the motherboard for JFP1
flint bobcat
Yeah I see now
stone wave
im the one having to translate that potato ass picture
stone wave
you can ignore them if you want
flint bobcat
Nah I'll connect them
stone wave
they're the tiny ass lights you see on most cases
ok one is power and one is hard drive
stone wave
positive and negative
stone wave
so just plug it in
tame topaz
impact font
flint bobcat
Ok got all of those in there mith
stone wave
it goes whereever it looks like it fits
the USB 3.0 headers are wider than the 2.0 ones
tame topaz
and they should be blue
flint bobcat
What about this
stone wave
lol Clyde blocked Aria's image of something that needed a molex connector cause it was lewd a fire hazard
flint bobcat
Clyde dumb
subtle hawk
molexter
tame topaz
?
flint bobcat
I need help with rgb connection
To JLED1
But the wire slides out for some reason.
tame topaz
lemme see
flint bobcat
tame topaz
no this is fine
that's just to daisy chain it probably
can't quite tell
this cable is notoriously loose iirc
tame topaz
ehhh still not sure what you're trying to do
tame topaz
not even sure if this thing has an RGB header or not
ah it does
I think that is just to extend the thing
so unplug the extention cable and plug it in
Remember to check for the arrow!
flint bobcat
tame topaz
@flint bobcat alright you see those tabs on the cable? push on it then pull it out
ah wait no
flint bobcat
Oh wait ignore first one
tame topaz
no don't
flint bobcat
That's wrong
tame topaz
you see an arrow on the thing?
the one without pins?
sigh
I ain't that good at explaining either
flint bobcat
I did that before, it keeps sliding out
tame topaz
with the arrow in the direction of the 12V pin
flint bobcat
12V pin?
flint bobcat
Yeah that shit still slips out
flint bobcat
USB header cable?
tame topaz
the blue one?
flint bobcat
That's 3.0
tame topaz
yeh
tame topaz
try booting it
tame topaz
turned the PSU on yet?
tame topaz
novice mistake
tame topaz
nice
flint bobcat
Everything booted up correctly
tame topaz
alrighty now put the side panel on
flint bobcat
Nah I picked blue so it goes with my setup
Thank you gooduser and mith for the help
tame topaz
no problemo
Will be interesting to see more upgrades for the thing in the future
Like a graphics card
tho that might be quite far away
flint bobcat
can someone recommend me a desk, cause this one i currently have is some crappy glass office desk my dad gave me from his work
flint bobcat
stone wave
im just too lazy to get a different one
flint bobcat
thing is, this desk's glass is not glued on anymore so i have to be careful, and the front of the desk has that layering thing
stone wave
dont get another glass desk
cause sometimes they shatter
while not sharp it's annoying
stone wave
imagine cleaning that up
flint bobcat
i bet that dude raged after dying in DS3 and smashed his desk
stone wave
just get something from ikea
flint bobcat
ikea
flint bobcat
ahh
stone wave
cause if you run ultrawide monitors yeah..
stone wave
if you ever want to run ultrawide or multiple monitors, no hutch
or if you ever want to clamp something to the end of the desk like a monitor arm or something similar

@umbral onyx

subtle hawk
You guys are so sick with your pc building
stone wave
PSU is over kill IMO but going down to like 850w or whatever won't save that much more money so 
The RTX 2060 IMO is a bit weak in relative comparison to the R9 3900X but you said you don't game that much so again , it's still gonna run anything at 1080p at max settings just fine, but the 2060 Super or 2070 Super are options if you wanna make some money go away.
The 970 Pro is also overkill, what you're paying a premium on is that MLC memory and that Samsung branding and controller. You can score a 1TB TLC NVME that is nearly as fast for the same price if not less. (e.g. https://www.amazon.com/Inland-Premium-M-2-2280-Internal/dp/B07RCM6DXK/)
If you insist on a MLC memory NVME drive you can get the OEM one I got, it's 1 TB and like $10 more, ever so slightly slower (960 Pro speeds) but it's way better value. https://www.newegg.com/samsung-sm961-1tb/p/0D9-0009-001T0 But IMO you're better off with a TLC NVME with DRAM.
There's a version of the H100i that's $125 if you're willing to drop down to ML120 fans rather than the LL120 fans the Premium version comes with.
stone wave
Mm hmm
MLC NVME are prosumer grade usually.
it's cause it lasts longer in regards to read/write endurance
but most normal users would replace their shit before that they kill a drive
flint bobcat
stone wave
if you do like 4k editing off a NVME you could kill a TLC NVME
but if all you're doing is streaming videos, doing emails or that sort of thing you'll ditch the NVME cause larger capacity ones come out before you kill it via read/writes
flint bobcat
me 4k editing
Well I'm gonna use this for powerful things like data science with the 3900x
stone wave
The 3900x is 12 cores 24 threads
So if what you're doing can take advantage of that, it's great.

flint bobcat
Yeah also, Newegg has it for waaay cheaper
subtle hawk
@flint bobcat get the samsung one
shadow valley
valid acorn
subtle hawk
shadow valley
what does undervolting do
subtle hawk
it means you reduce the voltage going into the core
that reduces the clock speed
and that then makes the CPU run colder and consume less power
but it's at a steep cost in performance
shadow valley
i've had the core voltage offset at .100
gonna reduce it to .85
subtle hawk
I wouldn't play with it too much
umbral onyx
@severe falcon ahhhhhhhh
Unity does not keep smoothing information
so even if object was smooth it will get flat shading once I modify vertices and use their inbuilt recalculate normal
Wth
severe falcon
you mean you arent using a normal map?
cuz thats your first problem
@umbral onyx
will be back in about 30 min but try it with a normal map to see
umbral onyx
no it's not normal map thing
Check goraud shading and flat shading
It uses the normals vector stored for each vertex of a tri to determine the shading
Also two tris which share the same vertices is considered to have a duplicate meaning that two tris have 6 vertices shared or not.
severe falcon
no im saying the shading can be fixed if you give it a normal map
are you saying that unity is turning off its own smooth shading if you move a vertex?
or is it the smooth shading from the modelling software?
@umbral onyx
severe falcon
do you even know what a normal map is?
umbral onyx
Unity determines if the shading is flat or not via normal of each vertex
severe falcon
ITS LITERALLY ONLY SHADING
umbral onyx
severe falcon
no go research normal maps, then come back and tell me its not shading
severe falcon
yeah its a texture that changes how the SHADING calculation works
severe falcon
zil
umbral onyx
severe falcon
yeah but im saying your current normal shading is breaking, so just use a normal map so it never breaks
but so unity has smooth shading, then you change a vertex and it switches to flat?
umbral onyx
But normal map is usually used to falsify depth
to be precise
when I use it's recalculate normal function
pardon
I meant falsify depth
severe falcon
ok i was about to tear into you
but anyway you can actually use normal maps to achieve smooth shading
thats how most game characters have their smooth shading
you bake the 500k tri model onto the normal map for the low poly in-game model
umbral onyx
I could try
Ah
btw
So uhh
since I have a jiggle physics and I intend to use it more than just shake
You think I would be called for objectifying woman
severe falcon
no
severe falcon
being hypnotized by big breasts is not the same as enslaving women as broodmares

severe falcon
im gonna be honest, i would never play your game if it had battery nips
severe falcon
im just saying
stone wave
Oh, Aria if you end up getting all your shit ditch the thermal compound whatever CPU cooler you get comes with and use something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Thermal-Grizzly-Kryonaut-Grease-Paste/dp/B011F7W3LU/

why the hell a game client uses bittorrent for downloading 
I live in the university dorm and its internet obviously blocked that
and I don't think there's a way to get around that
flint bobcat
Use a VPN
subtle hawk
hm
I still don't have enough reason to get one though
well, at least enough to worth the subscription
subtle hawk
@subtle hawk it's not BitTorrent smh
that is just a client
a shitty client
what they use is peer 2 peer sharing
subtle hawk
yeah but I did the packet check and it does have bittorrent in the url
and yeah should've said p2p
sounds like some shitty packet check
what
okay fine I'm sorry for being an idiot
...I now remember why I hate technology channels
I didn't say ur a idiot
I say the tool that u use is shit
well I just wanted to be right all the time did I?
why am I so bad at taking people's words
that unfortunately I can't help you with
ugh
maybe my phrasing wasn't right
I keep thinking that being here gives me a bad atmosphere because it's full of nerds
well, not only just here
well not everyone knows everything
hm 🤔
I'm in a sysadmin discord where some things are alien to me
ah
but I always ask questions and try to learn
I should just stop thinking negatively tbh
cause you never know when it might come in handy
well, back to that topic
I'm just certain that it uses p2p for downloading
well ye
which I pretty much has no way to get around my university's block without using vpn
that's the most efficient way of sharing updates
hell
even steam does that
and windows update
which is weird, yeah
because I can normally do steam downloads
it's because that traffic is encrypted and using random ports
so you can't discern it from other types
that game probably has potato implementation
is it warthunder by chance
wargaming.net games
WG games?
like wot, wows
the new launcher or the old one?
the new one I think
also my university once blocked MEGA
but it doesn't now
if it has UPnP
you can hole punch through the firewall
or use a HTTPS proxy
oh
I remember that method
but yeah once I switch to mobile data hotspot it could download right away
@subtle hawk this is the error btw
yeah firewall blockage
aye
it's on uni internet right?
how do I get around that?
tol you before
proxy, vpn, hole punching
if u need a VPN I can generate a set of credentials on one of my VPN servers
ah
yeah I just don't know how to do those
because those looks like it needs an external server to set up
umbral onyx
My shader is going well but imma still doing jelly physics
Let's say a vertice have more than 1 neighbours
a vertice can be at most x distance from each neighbour

This is for elasticity btw

The takeaway is summed up in this paragraph: ```So has AMD done the unthinkable? Beaten Intel by such a large margin that there is no contest? For now, based on our preliminary testing, that is the case. The launch of AMD's second generation EPYC processors is nothing short of historic, beating the competition by a large margin in almost every metric: performance, performance per watt and performance per dollar.
Analysts in the industry have stated that AMD expects to double their share in the server market by Q2 2020, and there is every reason to believe that AMD will succeed. The AMD EPYC is an extremely attractive server platform with an unbeatable performance per dollar ratio.```
If AMD can't gain significant market share with such a significant lead in well... every metric, then we might as well pack up our bags and go home
and Intel wins the monopoly
subtle hawk
p much

Just asking,what do you guys think about the Samsung A series like A10,A20,A30 and etc?
viral sapphire
Why?
Just wanting to know because my friend keeps switching to the newest Samsung Galaxy note when the new one releases
Another question i wanna hear your opinion,what do you think about the Xiaomi Poco phone?
subtle hawk
the pocophone is a good budget option
because the note series was known for their versatility
such as having a micro SD card, jack, DeX, S Pen
but now it's just a bigger S10+
with gimped features
subtle hawk
yeah it's a good budget phone with flagship SoC
tame topaz
Redmi K20 Pro is out recently and holy shit it's gud

@viral sapphire I have the A70
And its not bad rlly
Considering that this is a mid-spec phone

quartz atlas
why the fuck are there cockrachesd wtf
severe falcon
the question is how long has the CIA known about that 0-day exploit
subtle hawk
@severe falcon can you like
not
I'm with the majority on this
you need access to the file system to do it
severe falcon
im making a joke
subtle hawk
like unless you have somehow get someone with steam installed to run ur shady app
and knowing how paranoid some gamers are
gloomy tinsel
Well, the exploit can be pulled off by putting a malicious game into the Steam store
compact cloud
it's actually not that hard
there are a lot of shit apps that can't be even called games
like those with thousands of achievements
you think Valve won't let slip one through?
subtle hawk
yeah but good luck getting people to download and run it
like sure you'll get maybe a couple
but that's it
compact cloud
you think it's also impossible? there are retards out there
severe falcon
you would need an update on a popular game to get a bunch of people
subtle hawk

severe falcon
yeah but trading cards are monetary transactions so at that point youd have several charges against you and a manhunt
compact cloud
what is this even? cellular?
compact cloud
must be a public one
subtle hawk

severe falcon
oh look its our fastest speed in the area
subtle hawk
welcome to ADSL
compact cloud
then your speeds really suck
severe falcon
100 Mbps advertised
subtle hawk
can't wait to get back home to 10Gbits
compact cloud
is that a solid reason to sue?
compact cloud
great
severe falcon
you would have to prove they are physically throttling your speed
compact cloud
false advertising then?
severe falcon
unless you can prove them throttling your speed, its not false advertising
"theres just too much usage for the lines to handle" or something like that
subtle hawk
the connection is 10/1
but I think the TV box is on so it's sucking up 9
my mobile data
severe falcon
however internet companies cant screw you over if you live at a government establishment
so at my college dorm a couple years ago, i got 100 Mbps for free but it was actually more like 150-200
subtle hawk
I have a guaranteed speed and uptime
so if it drops even 0.0001 of that I can yell at them
severe falcon
see our internet company is actually smart, doesnt do contracts, only mandatory agreements, and has no guaranteed anything
subtle hawk
then again in the usual contract they state that the connection might be down from time to time
or run at a lower speed in extreme situations
but most of the time they compensate if that's the case
severe falcon
i have not seen more than 35 Mbps the entire time weve had internet
subtle hawk
I hate it that I don't have my pfsense router control here
severe falcon
and that was a fluke when it did that
subtle hawk
so I can check wtf is eating up 9Mbits
fixed it
kicked everyone off
still not enough to watch without hiccups

@subtle hawk hey, any good way to test hardware on a Linux Mint live USB?
subtle hawk
wdym
tame topaz
exactly what it says
Basically my Windows installation is still borked and I wanna test hardware on Linux to see if problems occur there too
So I can determine if it's a hardware issue or not
subtle hawk
hm I don't know about that
valid acorn
How does it work? (Chrome Canary ver 77)
||Nvm, they removed it on their new update||
gloomy tinsel
It depends on what you mean by "hardware testing" @tame topaz
Testing what, exactly? Hardware troubleshooting is a huge PITA in general
tame topaz
@gloomy tinsel general stress testing?
gloomy tinsel
There are a few things you can run for stress testing, sure
stress-ng is a CLI tool for it, but you can run Cinebench in Wine
if you want something that you might be more comfortable with
mprime is also a thing you can use to stress test
tame topaz
alrighty
tame topaz
everything
subtle hawk

tame topaz
because I don't fucking know what's causing the problem
gloomy tinsel
stress-ng is nice in that it can test a few things
subtle hawk
well if you would explain the problem we could tell you

BIOS update -> Windows got borked -> reinstalled Windows, bombarded with bluescreens to this day (didn't happen before reinstall)
subtle hawk
was it a clean reinstall?
tame topaz
Clean
subtle hawk
and what board and CPU
tame topaz
CPU is 2200G, board is Asrock AB350M-HDV
gloomy tinsel
Oh, it could be a bad BIOS flash. Reflash the BIOS and throw the CMOS jumpers on the board. I had similar symptoms after a BIOS flash of my own
tame topaz
Yes I did do a reset as well as another clean reinstall, didn't work either.
Reflashing didn't work either.
subtle hawk
@gloomy tinsel boards don't do that anymore
gloomy tinsel
You have to reset the BIOS with the jumpers on the board, not just reflash
Also yes they do
subtle hawk
are you living in 2005?
tame topaz
B350 gang
gloomy tinsel
If you only ever have high end boards, you might not see jumpers like this
subtle hawk
most boards today have a BIOS reset button
tame topaz
Mine has jumpers too
gloomy tinsel
I'd be curious as to what happens after your throw the jumpers to reset BIOS
because that solved an issue of mine where I observed random crashes and reboots
tame topaz
well it resetted to default but didn't help
gloomy tinsel
after a bad BIOS flash
tame topaz
pulled out the battery too
gloomy tinsel
Yanking the battery is probably irrelevant since BIOS settings are usually stored in flash memory these days
They would survive a power outage
But basically my issue was, after a BIOS flash, I observed random Linux reboots, and upon rebooting it would log an MCE error.
This is a symptom that is shared with the Ryzen idle crash bug, which sometimes affects Linux, but none of the workarounds I used for that fixed it. Turns out that I had an invalid BIOS state after the flash, so I had to set the jumpers. Resetting the BIOS from within itself didn't help
and reflashing also didn't help
@tame topaz I'm also curious, why did you flash the BIOS exactly?
gloomy tinsel
I wonder if you'll be stable after flashing to an older version. Once in a while, new BIOS versions bork things for older CPUs
E.g. ASRock indicates that the latest BIOS for my board is not recommended to use with first gen Ryzen
tame topaz
well sadly this new BIOS forbids me from flashing to the Last Known Good BIOS Revision
i miss XP
gloomy tinsel
Sounds like it's time for you to upgrade to a Ryzen 3000 chip
Is there an even newer BIOS version?
tame topaz
There is a new one now apparently
Buuuuut
"ASRock do NOT recommend updating this BIOS if Pinnacle, Raven or Summit Ridge CPU is being used on your system"
gloomy tinsel
...But it says not to use it with a 2200G, yeah
tame topaz
hecc i'm just a 16 year old with barely any savings so no lol
if anything I'll try RMA'ing the mobo
looks like this BIOS version's the dead end then
tame topaz
no money tho
gloomy tinsel
RIP
Since the BIOS is the only variable that changed, it seems plausible that that's causing the issue
tame topaz
plausible but sorta unlikely too
gloomy tinsel
Why, because it was fine before reinstall?
tame topaz
because the BSOD in question is 0xBE
seems to have no relation to BIOS
ATTEMPTED_WRITE_TO_READONLY_MEMORY
Did memtest the RAM, it spat out an error, RMA'd it, memetested it again with no issues
so can't be the RAM
gloomy tinsel
Sources I'm finding seem to suggest that this BSOD is often caused by faulty drivers, but BIOS issues can crop up in weird places
Like, the MCE errors I had
MCE usually suggests a CPU or possibly memory fault, not a BIOS fault
tame topaz
Drivers are latest
subtle hawk
resetting CMOS after BIOS update is usually a very good idea
tame topaz
And it would get that bluescreen even with stock MS drivers
make that of what you will
gloomy tinsel
If you can RMA the board without much hassle, I don't see the harm in trying. At leas that way you can rule out/in the BIOS being the issue
or more generally the board
tame topaz
yeah, I did a dum dum there
gloomy tinsel
Especially on AM4 I'd say. So far we've seen a lot of bugginess in the launch BIOSes for new Ryzen generations
tame topaz
That said
There were already some things that are off with the OS before the BIOS update
gloomy tinsel
🤔
Fwiw I love what AMD is doing right now, but they're pretty memeish with the launch BIOS versions for Ryzen
tame topaz
like the fact that for some reason it would refuse to update to build 1903 every single time
gloomy tinsel
gloomy tinsel
High end boards often have nice things like that, yah
subtle hawk
the secondary OPROM has the factory BIOS on it
tame topaz
Honestly one of the things I miss about my old Intel board
the dual BIOS
the other being the RGB sync header
subtle hawk
Asus board eh
gloomy tinsel
I have ASRock, it also has an RGB header
I don't use it though, I hate looking at flashing lights on my desk

I don't usually shoot for high specs
subtle hawk
and my pc has RGB out the ass
tame topaz
my board is essentially the bare minimum for B350
only got it because it was dirt cheap
Took the shot, sold my old Pentium and B360M
and lucky me, I got the very last one in stock
gloomy tinsel
I'm planning to upgrade to a Ryzen 3000 chip, probably 3700X. Not sure if I'll keep the board
but so far, the board has been kind to me. So I'll at least give it a go before deciding
tame topaz
ITX is rare as hell here
gloomy tinsel
I like small
subtle hawk
my next upgrade for the workstation is a TR4
gloomy tinsel
Based on what I've seen of Rome Epyc, Threadripper 3000 is going to be amazing
Like holy cow
tame topaz
That MEG X399 CREATION is freaking wild in terms of design
subtle hawk
ye AMD is really turning up the heat on Intel
subtle hawk
hard
tame topaz
I'm rather eager for Arctic Sound as well
some more competition in the GPU market would be nice
subtle hawk
I'm still running mostly Intel
gloomy tinsel
Oh yeah, the Xe GPUs could be interesting
gloomy tinsel
I have a Ryzen 1700 server that I hacked together out of spares and relatively cheap deals
It's also the only Gigabyte build I've ever done
I like the board, but hot damn is it picky about RAM
subtle hawk
well my main AI server runs quad Xeon Scalable Platinums
gloomy tinsel
Also no, it's not just "first-gen Ryzen being picky about RAM," because the same DIMMs work just fine in the ASRock systems I've put together. It's literally just Gigabyte
gloomy tinsel
I'm only doing it because it's cheap and it's suitable for this use case
viral sapphire
At this point just switch to AMD
I have a AMD Ryzen 3 processor,16GB of Ram and no GPU Yet and yet it can mostly play some games at high or ultra graphics while maintaining 60 fps

Bruh
Literally buy a R5 2600G
Their integrated GPUs can run a lot of shit at 1080p, but ofc dedicated GPUs are always better
viral sapphire
Actually while i asked the person i know,he actually asked me if i would rather have a Ryzen 3 or a Ryzen 5
I picked Ryzen 3 because it's cheaper
Because i was on a budget and still need to buy a monitor
If i were to pick Ryzen 5 at that time,i would be stuck with 8 GB RAM and i kinda prefer more RAM in my pc
Also random question,For mobile,what internet browser app do you guys use?
tame topaz
Just good ol' chrome because fuck privacy
viral sapphire
Philippines
And if i only knew sooner that the R5 is only a little more expensive,i would've picked that instead
Meh,not really desperate for upgrades right now,i don't have any games i want to play that is graphics heavy
languid saddle
That's some oof moments
viral sapphire
Yep.
At least im finally happy with my new pc than my old crappy 8-year old Pc with a broken AMD A4 processor
....that i forced to play modern games when i didn't know that processor is fucking shit at this generation
tame topaz
I used to have a Pentium 4 machine till 2012
Until it suddenly died on me
I remember a burning smell
viral sapphire
That old pc of mine lasted from 2012 till this may 2019
Apparently i cracked the processor and the motherboard malfunctioned or something
tame topaz
But finally around last October I finally got to experience what's beyond two cores
viral sapphire
Because the heatsink was fucking full of dust
Same
Never knew at least having 4 or 8 cores is so satisfying

@viral sapphire chrome master race

subtle hawk
because convenience outweighs any privacy social stance

This broke mah hart
viral sapphire
what the fuck.

good snek
severe falcon
if only my wiring in my comp looked that good
violet nexus
severe falcon
i physically cannot add anything to my comp because there is no space left
severe falcon
lol my case has more wires and its a 15 inch cube
dont look behind the 3rd party fan controller, thats where all the long cables are stuffed
subtle hawk
that only looks like few bcz the PSU shroud is full
severe falcon
7 fans, 3 hdds, 1 fan controller, plus the usual cables all stuffed into a mini itx case
somehow it still stays cool
gloomy tinsel
I use Firefox, it's convenient enough and I have my stuff already synced in it
mental coyote
I use both. You never know when you'll run into a need for an alternate.
tame topaz
well I sure hope the techs at the computer store know what's wrong with my computer.
Gonna take a few days.
languid saddle
@viral sapphire Wanna change my PC as well, mine looks like Chernobyl with a 5 GHz FX-4300
gloomy tinsel
Honestly it sounds more like you got a dud CPU to me, the FX chips were god-tier overclockers
At least the x3xx series
severe falcon
i just let the auto OC on my mobo do several passes to overclock it and it stopped at exactly 4.408 and then refused to get past bios
gloomy tinsel
It wasn't uncommon to achieve 4.7+ on an FX, at least that is my understanding
As for auto OC, I don't know how reliable that is
severe falcon
i mean ive left it on 3.7 for the past 6 years and its still running and i have no complaints
subtle hawk
my bois
I require assistance
need to find a pair of bluetooth headphones with multipoint
a.k.a the ability to connect to more than once device
quartz atlas
Get a Bluetooth module and do it yourself
Tho, I've not heard of such a thing
Why would you want multiple devices to play music at the same time tho

@flint bobcat looks gud

seems good

@tidal grove add-in board
Basically all the brands like XFX, Sapphire and what not
By custom I mean cards that aren't the reference blower design
That shit hot as fuck
subtle hawk
@tidal grove don't
that card is still underpowered compared to novideo ones
it only excels at more professional workloads
tidal grove
which card
subtle hawk
but even then only in some scenarios
