OMG, I have never seen DLSS look worse than it does in Empyrion Galactic Survival

I swear, each step up like halves the resolution

Native vs quality vs balanced vs performance

FSR is a little less bad, but it still sucks

Native, quality, balanced, performance for FSR

[rancid juniper]

LOL

glad its coming in a few days

gonna try it out

[atomic current]

I'm not your pal buddy

[proud jackal]

took the PC out of the case and removed everything from the mobo except the CPU itself

still the same problem

So many people not wearing masks at this airport

[rancid juniper]

that really went hard on the igpu huh

[grand kernel]

think I'm gonna need to replace this mobo tbh

shame

it's a decent board

can't think of any other component that would cause this behavior though

[rancid juniper]

oof

[grand kernel]

literally nothing is plugged into it besides the CPU at this point

and the 24 pin

[rancid juniper]

lol

[grand kernel]

unplugged cooler, fans, EPS power, ssd, ram, all pcie cards, all the bottom header stuff

[rancid juniper]

igpu aint like this one

[grand kernel]

and the board is sitting on a cardboard box not touching any metal

and it's still acting like it's shorted

but still tries to start up normally if I use the PSU tester first

I don't think the CPU can be the failure here right?

I mean I ran prime95 on it

and I don't think it's PSU failure either since it always works with PSU tester

it has to be mobo failure right?

[rancid juniper]

perhaps

As it may have already done for years

[surreal kernel]

when i switch motherboards do I have to wipe my c drive

and perform a fresh Windows install?

or what

is it plug n play

[mortal grail]

Maybe maybe not

If it's playable then it's probably fine

[surreal kernel]

wym playable

I don't wana ruin anything

😭

[atomic current]

Just unplug then

[mortal grail]

The typical go to is to reinstall

But you can just yeet it

And it can be perfectly ok

[surreal kernel]

how do I perform the te install tho

in my old build?

or like

to I use a sdd wiper idk how ts work

😭

[mental yoke]

i put a win11 SSD with msi driver installed and replaced the mobo and put it in the new socket and it booted fine with video but i just got a fresh ssd instead

i was like hmm uninstall a million programs or install a million programs and know everything is clean

[surreal kernel]

does the secure erase on bios wipe the whole ssd?

the windows install too?

and if my motherboard doesn't have it bcs it's old how can I erase my ssd

?

[craggy shoal]

yes

you could erase it on the new motherboard

[grand kernel]

think I've done everything to this PC that I possibly can that doesn't involve replacing parts

time to hope the mobo is still under warranty

90% sure the mobo is the problem

[surreal kernel]

I'm thinking

of doing it on the old one

and then having a clean ssd

what ab bios configurations and all of that?

do they come with the board

is it plug n play

[craggy shoal]

The BIOS is separate from the SSD. What you change the BIOS won't affect anything whatsoever on the SSD (unless it's to wipe the SSD)

[surreal kernel]

leme explain

I wana move my ssd to the new build

New platform

New everything

now I'll need to wipe my ssd ok

but thing is how do I? if I don't have secure erase

in bios

[craggy shoal]

You'll be able to wipe the SSD when reinstalling Windows

[surreal kernel]

your saying I should boot with my old ssd?

without wiping it?

and then reinstall

also when creating a bootable usb

should I use x64 or x86?

what's the difference

[storm narwhal]

Boot from the usb you made to reinstall windows

wipe your old drive when you're installing windows from the usb

[surreal kernel]

Ohhh

[storm narwhal]

x64

[surreal kernel]

so I should

[storm narwhal]

but that's kinda an easy googleable question haha

[surreal kernel]

lmao ik but I get confused

[storm narwhal]

fair enough

but yeah that's that

[surreal kernel]

I thought that commenting the ssd when it's not wiped

wpudl cause issues

but I forgot I should boot from usb first

[storm narwhal]

mmhm

[surreal kernel]

what if my pc doesn't boot from usb 💀

[storm narwhal]

then you can format the old ssd when installing new windows

[surreal kernel]

oh I'll rename the c drive something like delete me?

[storm narwhal]

Check your boot order in bios

[surreal kernel]

or sumn and delete all of its partitions

[storm narwhal]

make sure you're booting from the usb

no need to rename

[surreal kernel]

wait on a mew mobo you can boot straight into bios?

new

[storm narwhal]

yes

[surreal kernel]

ohh

so then select the usb

boot into it

[storm narwhal]

that's how they'll always boot if nothing else is plugged in lol

[surreal kernel]

wipe the old ssd and perform a fresh install

[surreal kernel]

ssd gon b plugged tho

[storm narwhal]

yeah, just hit the key to enter bios when you boot up

[surreal kernel]

oh alr

[storm narwhal]

then select the usb to boot from

[surreal kernel]

still scared about swapping boards

💀

[storm narwhal]

it'll be fine

[surreal kernel]

I'm afraid of breaking something idk how to connect the cables

[storm narwhal]

As long as you haven't bought a physically incompatible cpu

[surreal kernel]

even tho the boards as same form factor

[storm narwhal]

i.e. amd cpu for an intel mobo

[surreal kernel]

no dw

[tranquil pebble]

I raided a Sentinel base in NMS and got this new multitool from it

[surreal kernel]

I have a r5 5600

and a b550m aorus elite

[surreal kernel]

no but like the cables and all of that

cpu power

HD audio or whatever

fan headers

[storm narwhal]

yeah

[surreal kernel]

😭😭

[storm narwhal]

it'll be the same ports, just maybe slightly different positions

[surreal kernel]

only thing I know is the 24 pin and cpu fan

[storm narwhal]

just rtfm when in doubt lol

(read the freakin manual)

[surreal kernel]

I cant re route ffs

[surreal kernel]

😭

[storm narwhal]

it'll tell you where the ports are

[surreal kernel]

actually ima pull a pocket of both of the boards side by side

my current one is a asus h110m- A

And my new one is this model

[storm narwhal]

mobos can have different placement despite being the same form factor

[surreal kernel]

oh alright

[storm narwhal]

always use the manual if you aren't sure of where a sepcific thing is

[surreal kernel]

if ur not busy ig when I install it I'll @ you

idk if the cables have naming

[storm narwhal]

Sure, i'll respond if i'm on haha

[surreal kernel]

in them

[storm narwhal]

if i'm not tho techies and other people who have helped you can help

[grand kernel]

I'm confused

[surreal kernel]

oh alright

[grand kernel]

this motherboard's VBAT sensor is reading 3.216V but I literally removed the battery lol

[storm narwhal]

Just found the solution to infinite power

[surreal kernel]

what's atx 12v?

cpu power ?

[wary fjord]

Don't tell anyone

[surreal kernel]

the 4 pin connector

[grand kernel]

the voltage is changing too...

[wary fjord]

U will get shot

[grand kernel]

now it's reading 3.232V

I'm so confused lol

[wary fjord]

Maybe its error.

[storm narwhal]

you mean atx 12vo?

[surreal kernel]

look at the board uhh

the asus one

[north crescent]

I assume mobo on rn?

[surreal kernel]

there's a 4 pin connector

at the top left

[grand kernel]

yeah

does it just get supplied by the 3.3v rail if it's on with no battery?

[surreal kernel]

oh damn wtf this other one has 6

[storm narwhal]

oh that's just cpu power yeah

[north crescent]

That's how I thought it works

[storm narwhal]

the extra 4 is for overclocking

you can plug it in if your psu has it but you don't really need it

[grand kernel]

wonder if it's that or it's just a bogus sensor lol

[surreal kernel]

so If I just plug in thr 4 pin connector in that it should b fine?

[storm narwhal]

just the usual is enough

yeah

[surreal kernel]

oh alright

idk if they left any spare scables

there

maybe it has 8 pins

[north crescent]

Does mobo also have 3.3v rail sensor? If so, same as vbat?

[surreal kernel]

I gotta check

I see cpu fan

what's COM?

[storm narwhal]

You aren't using a new psu right

just replacing the mobo?

[surreal kernel]

yes

[grand kernel]

nope, 3.3v rail reading a bit higher

[surreal kernel]

and cpu

[storm narwhal]

yeah cool

idk what COM is tho

I'm assuming its something to do with the psu

[surreal kernel]

what ab the thick white connector

what's that

[surreal kernel]

bottom right

[storm narwhal]

Not sure, check the manual lol

That's what i'd do

but i think it's just a serial port?

[surreal kernel]

idk tbh I'm confused

I see cpu fan

and I see 3 other pins

ontop

that idk what theyr for

[north crescent]

Well actually I suppose batteries are suppose to be 3v, not 3.3v. So prolly steps down a bit from PSU.

[surreal kernel]

I'm looking into it

I do intact have the spare 4

pins here

for the cpu connector

my cha fan and com ports are empty

I see usb

sata

and one connector on far left

[grand kernel]

I feel like I usually see VBAT reading 3.3 flat though on most systems

[surreal kernel]

wait where the hell are my fans connected?

since they have led too

don't they have extra connectors

[north crescent]

I have two readings in HWiNFO, 3.096v and 3.124v.

[surreal kernel]

oh white thing is the panel connector

[grand kernel]

interesting... my own system doesn't even have one

[surreal kernel]

this is usb right?

[wary fjord]

check ur manual

[north crescent]

Gigglebit is fun

[surreal kernel]

I don't have the old boards manual

[grand kernel]

bro it literally says usb next to it

😭

[atomic current]

Maybe bro needs glasses

[surreal kernel]

is that hd audio connector ?

I don't think it was that, it felt more... Rounded?

It was blue and a Honda and that's all I noted lmao

[mortal grail]

the c is for round

[velvet summit]

Is this real chat

[mortal grail]

the r is for real

the v for VTEC BRUBRUBRUBRRRRR

[craggy shoal]

c stands for can't drive

r stands for ridiculously slow and annoying

v stands for VTEC (the owner of this car doesn't even know what that means)

[velvet summit]

Real

[atomic current]

60 is too fast for city

Run over people

[velvet summit]

Wdym, like all cities are 60

Wait right

I mean km/h

[atomic current]

Should be like 35

Whatever's 20 or 25

In mph

Imo

[velvet summit]

40 is residential zones lmao

Tbf more densely populated places may have a 50 speed limit

Streets with a bunch of farmland sometimes even has a speed limit of 70

[craggy shoal]

40mph should be a bare minimum in densely populated areas imo

honestly higher

at least in America because we have stoplights

[north crescent]

metric master race

[craggy shoal]

I swear it takes some people five years to go from 0 to 40mph and there will be a whole city of people behind them, causing more denseness

[velvet summit]

Just add one more lane, that will solve traffic

Frfr

[tranquil pebble]

literally me when there's snow because my car can't grip it terribly well lol

[mortal grail]

depends what 60 you talkin bout

Sir 60 be normal here

[craggy shoal]

left/straights and right-only intersections > left-only right/straight intersections. but city designers don't understand that

[mortal grail]

in muh honda CR-V SiR

60kmh is 37mph lol

too slow ngl

45 everywhere. unless it's the freeway. make it 70mph bare minimum

[tranquil pebble]

Where I live you can generally do speed limit + 10 mph and not get pulled over for it

[velvet summit]

The people with all those issues including dead pixels:

[craggy shoal]

lol if there's a cop near me, I'm doing whatever the cop does

[velvet summit]

The same here but +10km/h except for school zones and except for freeways where people are constantly going anywhere from 10-50km/h more than the speed limit lmao

[mental yoke]

nine you're fine, ten you're mine

-old cop saying

[velvet summit]

Really, just follow the flow of traffic

[tranquil pebble]

If a cop ever pulled me over for 1 mph over I'd be amused. It'd make a funny day in court.

[mental yoke]

yep and stay out of peoples blind spots

[craggy shoal]

nah sometimes traffic goes too slow

[mental yoke]

i have to speed up a lot to pass trucks spraying up water

18 wheelers

[velvet summit]

The judge would let you go if you go to court honestly

There is some legal leeway with speed limits

[atomic current]

Funny thing

My mom's 8 has a green line

[tranquil pebble]

easiest argument would be calibration of the equipment lol

[atomic current]

But yes slow speed limit

City is place to walk and ride bike

[tranquil pebble]

which is probably why there's leeway there

[velvet summit]

Technically the official amount that you're able to go over here is like 5km/h iirc

[atomic current]

Go drive in your driveway where it belongs

[velvet summit]

But no cop pulls you over if you go 10 over

Except for school zones which are treated seriously, at least here

Because some kid got run over in the past

[tranquil pebble]

Most cops are looking for more serious violations than 5-10 over

[mental yoke]

my car is buried in snow

[atomic current]

Simple

[mental yoke]

lol

[tranquil pebble]

same

[atomic current]

Design the street to match the speed limit

Make the car break if it goes over

[mental yoke]

i will only take other peoples cars out in the snow & ice

😛

[atomic current]

Presumably because you're sliding all over right

[velvet summit]

Btw a tip for snow/ice on a windshield is to put a tarp over the windshield after you park your car (if parked outside)

[atomic current]

Takem out boys

[velvet summit]

So if it snows or gets freezing rain, you could just either brush the snow off if there's a pile, or just take off the tarp

[atomic current]

Just use a garage

[velvet summit]

And shake the snow and ice off

[atomic current]

did you have a dell prebuilt like me?

[rancid juniper]

yes

[misty sparrow]

[rancid juniper]

from 2020-2022

the i3-10100 pc was a significant upgrade from thr FX-4300

i used like 3 gpus in that system

Firepro W5000 > S7000 (PSU Upgrade) > GTX 1060

[misty sparrow]

so why couldn’t you upgrade the cpu to support a newer GPU

[rancid juniper]

still can't understand how my FX pc died from sleep

[rancid juniper]

its a waste of $$$ to upgrade an oem pc

too many limits

and at the time i wanted to overclock

[misty sparrow]

I’m wanting to upgrade mine too but the only CPUs that support the motherboard are heavily outdated and are somehow overpriced

motherboard is holding me back

[rancid juniper]

not only the motherboard but the whole form factor

you gotta go custom

[misty sparrow]

it’s a big PC case that’s actually about as big as miniATX

gotta cram alien look in there

[rancid juniper]

you sure your motherboard aint custom?

😂

because i have a hunch that its custom made to fit in that custom case

[misty sparrow]

it isn’t custom but the case is just so small

[rancid juniper]

what model?

[misty sparrow]

it’s some odd dell exclusive motherboard

I don’t even know what it is

wuh?

70w?

[atomic current]

Is it mentioning the shader core count because it's more than the original or something

[sweet phoenix]

PCIE POWERED CARD PLS?

[misty sparrow]

or better yet a 4050 8GB

this is just another way for them to get rid of stock for a card nobody is buying

not an actual budget card to take seriously

[tranquil pebble]

4050 24 GB and price it at $1000... /j

[sweet phoenix]

If its priced low enough and pcie powered it'd be nice, but I know it won't be priced low enough lol

[rancid juniper]

I was discussing this not too long ago, at first it seemed interesting but once you notice how much of a performance hit it gets, turns mid

Especially when the RTX A2000 exists but that card is dummy expensive

Smh

Ngreedia never fails to disappoint me

[elfin mural]

yep

sadge

[rancid juniper]

Honestly, imagine seeing a 8GB RTX 4050 beating a 3060ti at 75w for $200

Biggest pipedream

Scratch that, 3060

[elfin mural]

nooope

look at laptop 4050

that's what it's based on

or will be

no wonder amd is growing in popularity

[elfin mural]

7600xt is one gpu i hate so much

it's a 7600

with extra useless vram

[spark halo]

Soon we will have what we desire.

Robots.

[misty sparrow]

why do we want robots

[spark halo]

Listen if I can't simply get anything by touching grass

I'd like a robot.

Robot at least won't abandon me.

[spark halo]

Robot on robot murder.

Secruity bot drowns itself? More like murder.

[elfin mural]

4050 laptop as is, well, it's pretty good for laptops

but

it better be specced better

all it needs is better vram

[tranquil pebble]

What I want is a backlit buckling spring keyboard

Any highlights for anyone?

[pliant berry]

not much

[gleaming sedge]

Jackery box worth getting?

I'd look at what ltt used in his van but I don't have the few thousand I'm pretty sure his cost

[elfin mural]

what do you need it for?

[gleaming sedge]

I'd like to use it for like running a small projector and or charging a laptop/tablet and if I needed to I'd like to run my computer for at least a few minutes

My main pc/gaming pc that is. It will also be used for astrophotography so it would probably run a mini pc for awhile

[elfin mural]

then it's worth it, id say

make sure it can run the pc tho

would probably start with 500 ac output one

[gleaming sedge]

Ahh dang nvm I should have looked at prices before asking

Ones the size I need are almost 1k

Thx tho

[elfin mural]

id look at anker

[gleaming sedge]

Ok

[gleaming cedar]

are there any builders here able to help with an issue involving gpu.. a friend just built a pc, and they called me halfway through to help them, i've built multiple pc's before but have never had this problem before. The issue is the build is done but the gpu runs for a few seconds on start up then shuts off

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qxztWt

this is the build if anyone is able to help and tell why the gpu turns on the off

never ran into the issue

[dusk knot]

Pretty boring besides the transparent micro-led displays

[misty sparrow]

it was funny to laugh at the “futuristic automobiles”

they look like a mockery

[elfin mural]

does the pc output display at all?

[gleaming cedar]

when plugged into the motherboard yes, but for the gpu it turns off too soon to even get a picture, i'll say about after 20s it'll turn back off

[elfin mural]

that's weird

check if the gpu is seated correctly

and check for power connectors

[grand kernel]

hmm... there's a chance I fixed this PC? it's turning on consistently now

I hope I fixed it

@grand kernel how goes it

[mortal grail]

LMAO

sounding 110% like one of my episodes

just one day it went away and had no idea why

[ancient swift]

I wish that'd happen to my PCs issue

[sour blaze]

Is it normal for my AMD wraith prism to start turning green on the copper heatsink?

[wind quail]

Uh no

That sounds like it's oxidising which would mean very high moisture content or water got spilled

[sour blaze]

weird

Haven't spilled anything on my PC

unless the humidity was the cause

[wind quail]

You'd have to have really high humidity I'd imagine tho

[sour blaze]

Michigan weather in the summer lmao

Uhh so should I replace my cooler?

Or try to get the green stuff off.

[wind quail]

Could try get the stuff off ye

[devout forum]

I really wanna actually do the bios update finally and I'd like it to actually work this time 😄

[velvet summit]

sandpaper yeah

try uhhh 100 grit

ngl i've never seen an air cooler get oxidation (like that) lmao

well, asides from ones that fell in water for long periods of time

i've seen many air coolers with oxidation on aluminium, but never on copper under normal use lmao

but anything made of aluminum is oxidized

because of aluminum really liking oxygen

but that oxidization just makes a white oxide layer on top of the aluminum, and doesnt tend to flake out like with iron

though the oxide layer of aluminum could get removed with some chemicals, or physically by scratching it

[sly bloom]

hey guys can you suggest me a monitor for 250$ which would be able to do height, pivot, tilt , rotate etc?

[velvet summit]

tbh imo it's more better to get a monitor with a vesa mount so you can get like, a gas suspension arm for it

can get those arms for like $30

[wary fjord]

https://tenor.com/view/monsters-inc-griddy-monster-dance-gif-26321163

[mortal grail]

there should be a tutorial in the manual, also, can it wait maybe a day

I mean all you're doing is updating using ez flash 3

then set xmp and fans

that's it really

if you have specific settings then take pics of your bios and then replicate the settings on the new version

copy paste

[wary fjord]

no way

is that u in the image

it looks nice

@calm nymph repost it on #links-and-selfpromotion not on every channel xD

[devout forum]

It's not urgent

I just wanna make it work this time

And preferably not brick my mobo again

At least I fixed the front logo LED

Turns out the system builder simply hooked it up the wrong way adound

[sly bloom]

for office work, looking for a 4k 27 inch one

[surreal kernel]

samsung LU28R35

personally

[surreal kernel]

nvm the Samsung doesn't do these

if u just buy a mount

?

ig

[velvet summit]

1440p is good enough for 27" generally

For office work

[surreal kernel]

guys

Once I set up new mobo and connect the old ssd with Windows on it do I plug in the USB with the win installer before I turn the pc on? then get into bios change the boot order and reinstall windows ?

does that wipe the old drive?

or do I wipe the old drive before switching platforms

[velvet summit]

Yeah before
And yes, it will wipe the partition that you want to install windows on

[surreal kernel]

the usb you mean or ?

wiping the drive

[surreal kernel]

I only have 1 drive anyways

one ssd I'm planning to re use

I have a spare windows 10 USB but I'm gona delete it and install the windows installer on it again since it's been a while idk

[velvet summit]

On the disk you want to install windows on
Though yes the usb drive also is wiped when you install the installation media onto it

[surreal kernel]

Also when I format my usb to reinstall the windows installer again do i have to install ruffus

?

[surreal kernel]

yeah that disk has windows already that's what I'm saying

[velvet summit]

You can use the media creation tool that Microsoft has, or you can download the iso and use Rufus to create and write the installation media to the usb drive
There is no need to manually format the drive because both methods would format the drive when you start the process

Also I'm in class so it will take a while to reply

[surreal kernel]

i saw a guy do both

he installed the files into the usb and then

[elfin mural]

rufus doesn't need to be installed

[velvet summit]

Yeah they probably were using the media creation tool to download the iso, but Microsoft also just has the iso on the site

[surreal kernel]

he used rufus too

[elfin mural]

rufus has portable executable version

[surreal kernel]

so if i just run the setup again it will erase the old files

without formatting the usb

[surreal kernel]

oh

[surreal kernel]

its ok ty for answering atleast

[velvet summit]

It might run a quick format, I'm not sure, but yeah it just deletes all files from the usb

[surreal kernel]

this is how my usb looks like

[velvet summit]

Yeah that should be the installation media done

[surreal kernel]

its been a while tho should i run it again

[elfin mural]

no

[surreal kernel]

mby this is a older version

or it dont work like that

[elfin mural]

you can just run update within windows anyway

[surreal kernel]

but js to b safe

[elfin mural]

but it doesn't hurt to build a media again

probably not once a month, that'd be excessive

[paper verge]

installing a new iso will prob do nothing unless the currently installed one is corrupt

[surreal kernel]

its been like 6

months

now

mby more

[velvet summit]

Hmm

How likely is it for a usb drive to get bitrot from not using it in 6 months

[surreal kernel]

idk

[elfin mural]

Unlikely tbh

Nand doesn't rot so quickly

[hallow geyser]

guys should i upgrade to windows 11 im on 10 rn is it worth it

[elfin mural]

for your cpu you should be using 11

from the start

[hallow geyser]

oh

[elfin mural]

win 11 deals with hybrid cpus better than 10

[velvet summit]

Lmao

[hallow geyser]

i didnt know

so do i update rn

[surreal kernel]

[elfin mural]

but really they're the same os, just different looks and better for hybrid cpus

[velvet summit]

11th gen and older is fine with win10 but 12 gen and newer should be using windows 11 yeah lmao

[hallow geyser]

alr tysm

[surreal kernel]

what ab on a r5 5600

[elfin mural]

nah

[velvet summit]

Win10 is fine

[elfin mural]

you can run w10 on am5 too

it'll be just fine

[velvet summit]

It's just because of the big little architecture that Intel 12th gen and newer use

[surreal kernel]

looks fine

?

[velvet summit]

Windows 11 has a core scheduler to make proper use

[elfin mural]

bit rot isn't obvious

but 6 months of no use is fine

[velvet summit]

Pretty much impossible to see lmao

[surreal kernel]

idk was talking ab missin files

or anything

[surreal kernel]

ok ig

[paper verge]

you realize you can check if its corrupt ?

[elfin mural]

anyway imma head to bed

[paper verge]

https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX116166/how-to-verify-downloaded-iso-images#:~:text=You can use sha256sum to,downloaded ISO image is corrupt.

[surreal kernel]

how

[surreal kernel]

gn

[velvet summit]

Technically not an iso? It's already written on the usb

[elfin mural]

you should be running disk checks instead

[paper verge]

didnt they just flash it again?

[velvet summit]

I don't think so

[surreal kernel]

nop

[surreal kernel]

how

[elfin mural]

don't ask me now pls, i need my sleep

[surreal kernel]

😭

ty for ur help gn

[flat glen]

hi guys

what does this mean

its next to my games document file

and the game dont open

[velvet summit]

Onedrive

[craggy shoal]

I means you've messed up and let your games sync to OneDrive

I should put a guide on my website stating how to disable OneDrive

It's the absolute first thing I do on every Windows install

[copper fable]

Somebody just offered me a laptop with an i5, 8GB ram not sure about the generation and the GPU for my PSVR 2, is it worth it?

[craggy shoal]

Which i5?

[copper fable]

That's what I don't know...

[craggy shoal]

this guy uses @silent 💀

[craggy shoal]

not worth it then

[copper fable]

I can still check that but I really am trying to get rid of my PSVR 2 lol

[young matrix]

No

[copper fable]

Only used it 2 times for about 30 minutes

It just makes me feel very bad

[young matrix]

Did u calibrate it properly

Ipd and all

Also i would not do business with someone who cant even list their basic specs especially for a laptop

[copper fable]

Maybe that's because of my insomnia

I did but it wasn't perfect I think... it still looked very good it's just that lately, VR gives me an headache everyime...

Anyway, it will be no good for my insomnia so it's better for me to just sell it don't you think

Thank you both! 🙂

[mortal grail]

this could mean anything from like a $2000 paperweight to a $50 relic

[copper fable]

Yeah exactly that's why I wanted to be sure of the specifications...

I'll try asking him for the exact specifications...

[surreal kernel]

guys

[mortal grail]

we're not the people you should be asking

[surreal kernel]

should i switch boards

n get this

for like 20 more

or is it bad

[craggy shoal]

You should learn how to build a PC

[copper fable]

Oh and

https://www.aorus.com/motherboards/B550-GAMING-X-V2-rev-14/Specification

How many Pcie slots are there in this motherboard?
I already have a GPU and a Capture card installed but I also need a PCIe Card 2.5Gbps Ethernet LAN

[craggy shoal]

I mean they're right there, easy to count. But there's 2 16x slots and 3 1x slots

[copper fable]

Oh okay so I guess I'm good

[copper fable]

Thanks again! 🙂

[surreal kernel]

js tell.me man

😭

which is better

[craggy shoal]

idk. what's your current board?

[copper fable]

I should have bought a motherboard that supports 2.5Gbps lol it would have made my life way easier

[craggy shoal]

tech support heaven and I just woke up. maybe I should go back to bed lol

[copper fable]

Because it took me a while to find them lol

[copper fable]

Yeah lol go back to bed you helped us enough hahaha

[craggy shoal]

nah it's morning. it's 10:22 where I am lmao. I should be awake 💀

[copper fable]

I woke up at 3:45PM 💀

But that was because I couldn't sleep

[craggy shoal]

kinda off topic at this point but I find it funny when somebody says they have an "i5 in the laptop" like okay which one

[craggy shoal]

PM is afternoon lol

[copper fable]

😂 💀

[copper fable]

Yeah it was afternoon when I woke up

Insomnia

[mortal grail]

and this is just the last couple generations

lol

[craggy shoal]

I'm making a list of all i5s and probably going to put this list on my website just to mess with people's Facebook Marketplace listings

[mortal grail]

they could say i5 and mean something from like, 2010

[craggy shoal]

"This laptop has an i5" okay idk what that means 💀

[craggy shoal]

exactly

"I mean it's not too old" yeah it could be some quad core 10th gen

like I'm not buying that unless you tell me what it is

[copper fable]

OK OK I understand... I just asked him about it lol

[mortal grail]

current gen ones have like 14 cores

old early gen ones have like...2?

[copper fable]

Would be cool if I could install a Linux distro or hackintosh the device

[mortal grail]

lol

I want one of these mini PCs

[copper fable]

I think that person doesn't really know about how these things work maybe that would be good for me if I'll find out it's one of the latest ones lol

[craggy shoal]

just to use for web browsing honestly so I'm not heating my whole room up

[rancid juniper]

same i always wanted to try a mini pc or build one

[copper fable]

He claims he paid about 800$ for that computer

[mortal grail]

8gb ram tells me it's most likely not new

[copper fable]

But I'm from the USA so it could be different then what you think lol

[craggy shoal]

I found really cool Asus case that fits an mATX board that I'm using as a mini-ish PC

[copper fable]

It is, at least as he claims...

[rancid juniper]

send

[mortal grail]

I could tell you I own 10 4090's

and that would have the same salt

[copper fable]

Lol

I will see the laptop in my own eyes don't worry

[craggy shoal]

this guy paid $800 for a laptop with 8GB of memory. that tells me it's possibly from 2016 to 2018 (basically the best meme era lol)

[mortal grail]

he could send pictures

[rancid juniper]

i paid $400 for a laptop with 16GB of memory

[mortal grail]

why wait for in person

[copper fable]

No it's not. it's called 17% taxes

[rancid juniper]

back in 2021

😳

[copper fable]

I told you everything is expensive in here

[craggy shoal]

probably tbh 💀

[rancid juniper]

taxes

[copper fable]

😭

[rancid juniper]

oh my BRUH

[copper fable]

I paid about 770$ for my ROG Ally

[rancid juniper]

the prices are wack

especially for something with a weak igpu

[copper fable]

Z1 extreme not sure if that's expensive

[mortal grail]

tmw probably better than this laptop in question

[copper fable]

It sucks to live in Israel lol

[rancid juniper]

T A X E S

[copper fable]

Please let's not involve the conflict lol

[copper fable]

Isn't that called taxes lol

[mortal grail]

why does the 7 look weird

7 but actually a 9

[rancid juniper]

he probably tried to correct it

lol

[mortal grail]

did it 8 9

[rancid juniper]

yes, taxes

Nah just gave you an example

[rancid juniper]

hm

[copper fable]

I'm trying to show you that everything is considered expensive in here

Why did Intel make more mobile chips than desktop chips during 8th gen bruh

[mortal grail]

this is a ryzen?

[copper fable]

800$

[craggy shoal]

They have an 8269U like what is that

[rancid juniper]

tf is this prototype?

What do you mean changed?

[surreal kernel]

another board caught my eye idk if it's better

[craggy shoal]

My Lenovo IdeaPad is mega doodoo. I bought it because it had decent specs for the price. Come to find out that the hinge comes loose from the factory, there's audio stuttering while you're in a call or watching YouTube, a few other issues I remember having. So I just used my work laptop (Dell Latitude 3520)

[rancid juniper]

hello

[rancid juniper]

show me

[mortal grail]

are these what he's offering?

[rancid juniper]

RIP

[surreal kernel]

.

[rancid juniper]

i have a gateway laptop and the only problems im facing is a slighly loose screen and some high temps lol

[copper fable]

No, it's just what you will find at one of the most known tech shops in my country, this is what you are gonna get for 800$

[mortal grail]

oh meh

[surreal kernel]

idk if that one is anybetter than the gigabyte b550m aorus elite

[rancid juniper]

do you have enough money to buy it right now?

or is there cheaper options

[copper fable]

It's bad isn't it...

[surreal kernel]

no it's like 20 more tho

than the gigabyte one

[mortal grail]

to a certain niche not really

but to the majority yes

[copper fable]

Yeah I mean considering I'm located at the Middle East I guess that's a reasonable price...

[rancid juniper]

alright nerds since i dont own either gigabomb or assrock mobos, which suck more?

[surreal kernel]

gigabomb 😭😭

[surreal kernel]

I saw a vid on them

[copper fable]

So let's say he offers me a laptop with simliar specifications, should I accept the offer?

I guess not

[surreal kernel]

the asrock one looks like it has way more features

[rancid juniper]

ok

[surreal kernel]

but idk if it has bios flash

[copper fable]

He just said it's 12th gen by the way...

[rancid juniper]

speed

[wary fjord]

3200mhz gang

[surreal kernel]

io looks nicer too

[copper fable]

I think it would be a good laptop for work and stuff like that but generally, I don't think it's worth trading it with my PSVR2

[craggy shoal]

eBay be like "It contains an i5" like okay which one? 💀
(this is a .txt file I promise there's no danger)

[rancid juniper]

just go for assrocker

[rancid juniper]

3600MHZ TUNED RAM GANG

😳

[copper fable]

Not to mention that I already have a laptop that is way better lol (i7-13000 SOMETHING and RTX 4060 Mobile)

[unreal trail]

Gamestop makes a sound financial descision and cancels their NFT involvement lol

[mighty hazel]

4000mhz+

[surreal kernel]

no bios flash i think

[craggy shoal]

gotcha. so you're just looking for something more low-powered?

[copper fable]

I guess I want something that would work with MacOS (Hackintosh)

But the GPU that I have in my powerful laptop doesn't support it...

[craggy shoal]

You'll still need a device running Mac OS to get the ISO file
