[rough zinc]

Smh you want to be like everyone else in a rectangular house?

[gleaming sedge]

idk what the house shape will be but what i want a circle will not work

[rough zinc]

Circle is funny tho

[gleaming sedge]

not practial at all though

lots of waisted space

[pliant berry]

you could be like the guy that has rotating house

[gleaming sedge]

plus having 4 15 foot by 20 foot bedrooms would be rough to have in a circle

[pliant berry]

then make the bedrooms circles too

[gleaming sedge]

if building a house im not going to be that stupid and make a crappy room that is a pain to do anything with

[pliant berry]

I would say it's more an issue of cost rather than wasting space. I'd even say for some certain circumstances it can have benefits with space usage but housing industry is not built to accommodate such design. Very specialized and not many people would be willing to do it. could change with 3d printed housing i suppose

[gleaming sedge]

my next thing is right now thinking "man this basement is massive"

[grand kernel]

imagine not having a dodecahedron house

Love this community. Gg

[rancid juniper]

EGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGS

[rough zinc]

Im boutta turn you into a dodecahedron

[brittle lynx]

if i get 10 upvotes ill buy this case and make a build in it

[rough zinc]

Time to make 9 alts

[brittle lynx]

I feel the urge to build something in this amazing thing

Ain’t no way boy

Nissans be killing it.

[rancid juniper]

one of my favorite reverse entries

[mortal grail]

Tmw the man be throwin that sileighty like he boutta chop it up again

[rancid juniper]

lol

[wary fjord]

and they leave black mark sometimes 😦

[rancid juniper]

https://youtu.be/guznx0W3Y-o?si=dQonKhBx0p3zYpYE

bruh

another one

[wary fjord]

yeah its a good movie

[surreal kernel]

what games can a i3 8100 run

with a 780

[mortal grail]

Windows

[surreal kernel]

I'm being fr

I want it as a second system

on the first floor

or probably the basement

whenever friends are over

I'm probbably gona upgrade that card later

but dual channel 16 gigs and it would b fine right

as for rn

and I found the board and cpu for only 30 bucks

both

[wary fjord]

kk3 max circularity test is insane lol

[mental yoke]

Wait

That’s the circularity test and not the deadzone test?

Or both?

[wary fjord]

both

should go in the middle if u let it go thats u test if it has deadzone issue right? or nah

[wary fjord]

the 0.0 u see on the image is the circularity test.. it should be 0.x unless you set the deadzone too box shape which will not pass circularity test

its preference i guess

[mental yoke]

Hmmm

[wary fjord]

how much u get on the test?

[mental yoke]

Yeah I figured that test wasn’t good for deadzone testing. I tried to do it with a device and was very inaccurate compared to in games.

12.3

[wary fjord]

can u show me

is it box

that should be box

ur controller has a setting for it?

mine does

i can do box and circle

[brittle lynx]

Discount: if I get to 8 I'll get it

(I'll probably get it anyways just for the amazing looks)

[wary fjord]

this should be the pattern if its box @mental yoke

which closer to your 12.3

[mental yoke]

Bingo

[mental yoke]

The drive is good now. Lenovo fixed it.

But makes perfect sense.

[wary fjord]

this mine if i disable the box aka raw mode @mental yoke

[wary fjord]

everyone is scared to unknown entity by default lol

[icy ore]

[grand kernel]

@mortal grail found a nice cpu/mobo bundle for my friend's planned build, so I'll also be able to use that to test the PSU in this broken PC and finally rule out whether the fault is the PSU or mobo

win/win

[mortal grail]

Ooo

[keen wind]

hello

[gleaming sedge]

wow ikea wont deliver

[sinful blade]

L

[craggy shoal]

L

[nocturne flicker]

Oh. I just remembered. I still need to install Windows on my 4790k build. It has been like 5 months. And I've deleted the copy of Windows I was going to use

Time is going too fast

[craggy shoal]

imagine

just get a big flash drive and use Ventoy

https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html

[nocturne flicker]

You know I think its been a year or so since I started gathering the parts and I still am not done

Sure it is just the software now but what the heck

Also I just remembered that I shoved a 1000w psu into it

[proud jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/sunakook-cat-screaming-gif-25279230

[gleaming sedge]

yea so that means about 350 dollars plus gas to drive the 153 ish miles one way

[craggy shoal]

sounds like a fun road trip

[gleaming sedge]

not really

going to cost probably around 40 to 50 dollars in gas for the trip

[craggy shoal]

lol

[gleaming sedge]

39.06 dollars for gas for the trip roughly going by the cost of gas here plus how much my car uses

[craggy shoal]

What do you drive? I travelled 274+ miles yesterday and spent about $35 on gas lol

[gleaming sedge]

chevy impala 2014

i get right now because of winter im sitting at 23.5 mpg

[pliant berry]

must be nice

[nocturne flicker]

23.5? Thats pretty good. My Ford Escape does about 15

[pliant berry]

ive been driving cars that do 14-17mpg my whole life so far

[craggy shoal]

my Focus finished somewhere between 26.5 and 27.5 after my drive. doing maybe an average of 80-90 mph down the freeway (we'll say this was in Mexico btw)

[pliant berry]

and one was diesel

[gleaming sedge]

ill just have to make sure i count in the cost for gas to go to ikea since thats a decent cost to factor in

[mental yoke]

Mostly highway?

[craggy shoal]

yep

[mental yoke]

Damn

My v8 got about that mostly highway

[nocturne flicker]

My mileage is mostly because I drive very short distances frequently. 2.5 or so miles one way to work

[clear compass]

Can someone help me with some computer issues

[mental yoke]

But regular usage is like a 5 mile mostly road drive to work

So I might get 18mpg on the eco setting

[pliant berry]

nice commute

[elfin mural]

what kinda issue is your pc having?

describe your issue and people will help

[clear compass]

My computer been working fine but out of no where I was playing diablo and the display cut off but I could still hear the game then I restarted my pc and it just doesn’t display but it goes to windows cause I can still hear it

Currently the Vega light is lit up

VGA *

[elfin mural]

id try reseating the gpu

reconnect cables

[clear compass]

Gonna try that

[unreal trail]

Smadge

[gleaming sedge]

what is a decent monitor that is fairly well priced and does not have massive bezels and around 24 inches, they dont need to be super great they are just for things like discord and other 2nd monitor things

[pliant berry]

there has been a few in #tech-deals

[gleaming sedge]

around 110 or less would be great, im on a budget some since i dont make much money and im id be buying 4 of them

id be fine with 60Hz even

[rancid juniper]

interesting, A NEW METRO GAME?

[elfin mural]

there's those 100hz monitors

aoc, samsung, etc

[rancid juniper]

https://youtu.be/5r3RxHoZEyQ?si=CvR1EVJsdUwpHyIv

YOOOOOOOOOOOOO tenkaichi 4

[sinful blade]

How can you even live

[clear compass]

Reseated it but nothing

[sinful blade]

I drive both a 04 sonata and a handicap modified ’10 town and country

[gleaming sedge]

think my 2nd monitor should be the same size or smaller than the main one? would it look weird if they were the same size? trying to kinda go for what would look good but still work

[sinful blade]

And they both get better mileage than yours

[sweet phoenix]

my 07 camry probably gets around 15-17 now

280k on this thing

[elfin mural]

id just get the same monitor twice

[gleaming sedge]

well i already have a main

its a 27 inch

[elfin mural]

they probably might look a bit off

[clear compass]

@elfin mural is there anything else I can try

[elfin mural]

24 and 27

[sinful blade]

On a Camry? You must’ve got one of the defective ones

[elfin mural]

probably a v6 tbh

the one bacca got

[gleaming sedge]

the tv i am using as a 2nd one is 24 and i like size of it but yea i think it would look off with 24's next to a 27

[sinful blade]

Would make sense

[elfin mural]

reset cmos

[gleaming sedge]

this think has tiny bezels wow https://www.amazon.com/SANSUI-Speakers-Computer-DisplayPort-Ergonomic/dp/B0CCCJCJQ1/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?

[sweet phoenix]

i mean im just guessing

[elfin mural]

https://www.amazon.com/AOPEN-Zero-Frame-FreeSync-Technology-Ultra-Thin/dp/B0CJQ9NF89

this is cheaper

[sweet phoenix]

and yeah it is

[elfin mural]

and it's acer

23 combined for v6

yeah that's a close guess

[rancid juniper]

peak game

https://tenor.com/view/bocchi-bocchi-the-rock-anime-mental-breakdown-on-floor-gif-27026753

[gleaming sedge]

actually not a bad price to me at all and amazon has hdmi to displayport cords as well which id only need one of them

also wow surprised i can get a cord with hdmi at one end and dvi on the other as well

[elfin mural]

yeah

dvi is digital

so conversion isn't complex

[clear compass]

Reseted the cmos nothing

[elfin mural]

erm

the gpu is probably ded tbh

or you need to run ddu

try entering safe mode

[gleaming sedge]

i probably would need roughly a 6 foot dvi to hdmi, two 6 foot hdmi to hdmi cables, and one 6 foot displayport to hdmi cable.

[clear compass]

Can’t won’t even display

[elfin mural]

the gpu is probably damaged somehow

the only way to test this is with another pc

[clear compass]

Well then

[snow flare]

hellooo

dont know where to go, referred by a friend i need help with sm??

[elfin mural]

help with what?

[north crescent]

@clear compass Use a different PCIe slot for the GPU

[snow flare]

wifi connection or performance im not sure

its pretty confusing

[elfin mural]

identify the problem first

[clear compass]

Can’t go any lower graphic card to thicc

[mortal grail]

Can't help if we don't get a proper explanation

[elfin mural]

is wifi slow? or your pc slow?

is it stuttering

[mortal grail]

Take mobo out of case and try

[snow flare]

welllll i've been lagging since my brother moved in

i have my phone connected to the 5g fiber wifi but my pc is connected to phone hotspot

i won a 10k fortnite cash cup off the hotspot but now that he moved in fortnite and roblox is lagging insanely bad

[north crescent]

Remember that we are only testing GPU, not a perm solution (yet). So gotta try stuff like this.

[mortal grail]

Does he use the hotspot too

[snow flare]

i used to run 700fps and 11 ping on fortnite but now its wack

no

[mortal grail]

Wack like how

[snow flare]

my pc is the only device that has ever been connected to hotspot

oh

wait

btw

my friend said to send this

[mortal grail]

No longer 700 fps?

[snow flare]

nooo

[mortal grail]

Like what kind of lag

[snow flare]

300 fps and 200-1000 ping

on roblox>????

i used to run 40 ping

now i run 21k

[mighty hazel]

Why u getting less fps

[mortal grail]

Is it just the ping or is it the fps

[elfin mural]

that sounds like roblox server for me

roblox server acts up some days lol

[snow flare]

nooo

[mighty hazel]

700 fps on fortnite sounds pretty crazy 💀

[snow flare]

its fortnite to

[mighty hazel]

13900k/ 4090 moment

[elfin mural]

are you helping your friend?

[snow flare]

no he was helping me

[elfin mural]

ok

[mortal grail]

Sir is the fps also dropping yes or no

[snow flare]

i cant send the pic but my memory has 1.4gb available

[elfin mural]

so you're having ping issues?

[snow flare]

si

[mortal grail]

How much ram do you have

[snow flare]

its 7.8 out of 8gb

he suggested getting another stick

[mortal grail]

Ah

[elfin mural]

oof

[gleaming sedge]

one downside is powerbricks are hard to hide

[mortal grail]

8gb is coping sir

[elfin mural]

that explains it lol

[snow flare]

but also said get more opinions from this server

[elfin mural]

8gb is too little

[snow flare]

agreed

[mortal grail]

No I agree with him

[craggy shoal]

8GB lol

[mighty hazel]

Ram or vram

If u say vram....

[mortal grail]

What you should do

[elfin mural]

he said ram

[mighty hazel]

Oh okay

[mortal grail]

Go get a 2x8 or 2x16gb kit

Take out your 8gb

[snow flare]

can i dm you the link and you can look at it??

amazon

[mortal grail]

You're talking about memory in task manager ye?

[snow flare]

si

[north crescent]

Look at what processes are taking up memory usage and stop them.

[mortal grail]

Ye you need more ram bud

8gb is quite lightweight nowadays

At least 16gb for light gaming, 32gb is ideal

[proud jackal]

[mortal grail]

One sec I'll send you two links

[craggy shoal]

8GB that's a work-issued laptop lol

[snow flare]

well it used to be fine

i won cash cups in fortnite with it

[mortal grail]

Ye is it a laptop or a desktop?

[snow flare]

desktop

[mortal grail]

What cpu u running mate

Check with task manager

Go to performance tab

[snow flare]

i3-12100F

[north crescent]

With low memory you need to be really strict on what things you're running. You cannot have anything non-OS related basically. Meaning no Discord, no game launchers, no browsers, etc.

[snow flare]

??

[snow flare]

?

[mortal grail]

Ah ok

Do you know what motherboard you have

[snow flare]

nope

[mortal grail]

Can you take a look for me mate

[snow flare]

yea

how so

[north crescent]

Open msinfo

[snow flare]

in Win+R

??

nope

[mortal grail]

I'm guessing this is ddr4 but could be ddr5, you never know

Type msinfo into search

[snow flare]

what search

tb manager?

[mortal grail]

Start search

[snow flare]

ok

[north crescent]

You'll see this close-ish to middle

Saying what mobo you have

[mortal grail]

This is system info app ye hay?

[north crescent]

That be msinfo

[snow flare]

is it the baseboard manufacturer?

[mortal grail]

The product

[snow flare]

or product

ok

its ddr4

[mortal grail]

It says ddr4?

Ah ok yep

Pick one of these two sets

[snow flare]

i have100 on amazon

🙂

[mortal grail]

Take the existing stick out and don't use it, sell it

Use either of these kits

If that doesn't fix it then come back to us, but I agree with him, it's likely the ram

If anything going up in ram anyway would be a big increase for you

And worth doing regardless

[mortal grail]

Pretty sure these sets are on amazon

[snow flare]

yea

i got them in my cart i can get two sets of them (32gb ram) for free

🙂

[mortal grail]

There are links in the weblinks I sent that should take you straight to them

[mortal grail]

Get the 32gb set or the 16gb set

Not 2 lots of 16gb

2 sticks has a better chance to run

[snow flare]

yea

what about the placement in the actual pc

[clear compass]

Tried and nada

[snow flare]

do i put them in theee

[mortal grail]

In the pc ye

[snow flare]

grey slots?

leaving a space in the middle

correct?

[mortal grail]

Ye

[snow flare]

alriiiightt

[mortal grail]

2nd closest and farthest slot from cpu

Oops

Omg

[snow flare]

lol

[mortal grail]

Those two

Those two slots

Lmao

[gleaming sedge]

would i look goofy if i had the wall where my desk is black but not the rest of my room walls are white?

if i made it black id probably do a removable wallpaper

[mortal grail]

I wasn't following earlier what seems to be the issue

[snow flare]

if the rest of ur room walls arent white what color are they 🧐

im lost

[gleaming sedge]

they are white but id like the wall my new desk will be on to be black

[clear compass]

My computer been working fine but out of no where I was playing diablo and the display cut off but I could still hear the game then I restarted my pc and it just doesn’t display but it goes to windows cause I can still hear it

[snow flare]

like ur monitor isnt displaying anything??

just audio?

[mortal grail]

So it passes post

Ok

Question

[clear compass]

Vga light on

[mortal grail]

Permanently on?

[clear compass]

Yes

[mortal grail]

What motherboard is this

[clear compass]

It’s asus rog

[mortal grail]

Also tell me what you've done so far

[mortal grail]

I need everything else in the name but this, but ok

[north crescent]

Do you have any more video cables or monitors to test?

[clear compass]

I’ve reseated the gpu tested the cables and restarted the cmos

[north crescent]

Is it b560, b660, z690, x570, b550, etc?

[mortal grail]

It could be an rog from like, 2005

Or an rog from 2023

We wouldn't know

Rog is a brand label not a hardware label

[proud jackal]

rog 4 gaymerz

[clear compass]

It’s a b550f

[mortal grail]

Like telling us "Yeah I have a PlayStation"

[proud jackal]

[mortal grail]

Ok so am4

What cpu is this

you can check with task manager under the performance tab if you can't remember

oh wait nvm no video

kekw

hmmm

do you remember if the name has an X, a G, or just numbers in it

[clear compass]

Its a amd ryzen 7 5800 x

[mortal grail]

5800x ok\

so it's going straight to windows then, as some am4 boards do, regardless if the gpu has a problem

so you have tried different display cables yes?

and different monitor/gpu ports ye?

[clear compass]

Tried the display cables on tv and stuff and it worked

[mortal grail]

it worked plugged into the tv?

[clear compass]

Yes but not into the pc

[mortal grail]

ok

good sign

so explain to me what the tv configuration is, and the monitor configuration

you mean the gpu plugged into the tv, correct?

[clear compass]

No the cable worked when I tried it on the tv with my Xbox

[mortal grail]

ah

so hdmi

ok, and have you tried displayport on the pc as well

[clear compass]

Yes

[mortal grail]

next question

do you have a dual bios on the card

like a bios switch

if you're unsure, give me the entire gpu model name

[clear compass]

Don’t know tbh

[mortal grail]

can you send a picture of it

[mortal grail]

suprim 4080?

[clear compass]

3090ti

[mortal grail]

ah

that should have dual bios

lemme double check

[north crescent]

Ye

[mortal grail]

ok yep

[north crescent]

Switch next to PSU cables

[mortal grail]

see where the power is

ye you see it

so where the three power cables stick out

I want you to power the pc right down

turn it all off

hell

take the power out the back out

[mortal grail]

if you want

and flip that switch hay just circled

then, power it back on

and see what happens

another angle:

[clear compass]

Nada

[mortal grail]

oooof

ok looking like she might be dead sir

time for rma

[clear compass]

Oof

[mortal grail]

here's hoping you have a long enough warranty

[clear compass]

Is there a way to check

[mortal grail]

when did you buy it

also one last question just in case, the display cable is plugged all the way in ye?

[clear compass]

Yes sir

[mortal grail]

so the question becomes how long ago did you buy it and is that time frame still under the warranty time frame

[clear compass]

I bought in 2022

[mortal grail]

good sign

I imagine you have a 3 year warranty, but at least 2

[clear compass]

Hopefully

I do have a 3060ti might just use that till I get it fixed

[mortal grail]

if you swap the 3060ti in and it works that would confirm it

it's pretty clear it's dead but that would be certainty

[unreal trail]

supply me with some banan

[north crescent]

This makes RMA go quicker if you give a 100% fact it dead. No back and forth "did you do X Y Z" usually.

[mortal grail]

100% do that before you contact msi/your local store

so a little research around, you have a 3 year warranty it looks like

so I would hop on the holler as soon as you have tried the 3060 ti and get the warranty sorted

[clear compass]

Yes sir

[mortal grail]

for clarification @clear compass what psu have you got in your pc

[north crescent]

Do MSI GPUs have a "no VGA power" light like Asus?

[mortal grail]

yes

suprim does

I'm almost certain

I'd pull mine out to double check but it would take me half an hour, time I do not have today

[clear compass]

1300w plat

[tranquil pebble]

cheese and yogurt are both things I eat every day lol

[mortal grail]

full name?

could be any of these and not all of them are safe

[clear compass]

Mb it’s a crosair hx 1200

[mortal grail]

ok good unit

I wanted to check that in case the psu may have been a potential actor in what took place

that's a great unit tho, I wouldn't believe it to be the problem (not normally anyway)

so the good thing about msi gpu's is they bake in fuses into the pcb

[mighty hazel]

I mean they’re not explosive tier 💀

[mortal grail]

so chances are if it's buggered, it may very well be not be broken much if really at all

but as it is rn it's no bueno

so I'd contact for warranty claim as soon as you can

[mortal grail]

gamemax

[mighty hazel]

Oh shi I think my friend has one

[clear compass]

I just turned off and on my pc and it posted

[mortal grail]

is it working now

lmao

[clear compass]

It does that tho I play for a bit or go on YouTube then it cuts off the display

[mortal grail]

so under 3d load it dies

ok but it's working rn?

can you open something for me

download "hwinfo64"

and I want you to open the sensors-only section

then scroll all the way down to see gpu temps

[north crescent]

Cant find anything about it online, idk if it has it.

[mortal grail]

hmm maybe it's a newer feature?

maybe I'm crazy?

[mortal grail]

while that's open, try open a game or youtube

tell me if anything happens

[north crescent]

How you going to see temps with no display?

[mortal grail]

if you have a corrupted bios btw, cutting out randomly can be related

he can see them

they're right there lol

he can tell me about it just before it closes

[north crescent]

Display cuts out under load

[mortal grail]

yes

that's also an answer is it not

[north crescent]

By the time HWiNFO updates with relevant info (high temps or whatnot) I'd imagine display would already be gone

[mortal grail]

hmm I'm not seeing an LED near the power, I might be wrong

on either pcb tbh

4090 or 3090 ti

I think I'm wrong

although tbh

if that 12vhpwr was unplugged

you'd notice it just as quick

sadly more fatal tho lol

maybe I was thinking of my sapphire

no not on that one either I don't think

I must be crazy

[north crescent]

Nah MSI is just pulling a fast one. They made them with power debug LEDs and then did a silent global recall to mess with you.

[mortal grail]

although here's something interesting I never planned for

my two main cards both have fuses

[clear compass]

This is how it is so far

[mortal grail]

that's quite hot

rpm low tho

keep going and see what happens

at this rate we want it to cut out but to have a good idea of what's happening at the time

if nothing happens it was a dead vbios

[north crescent]

Looks normal for start of a 300w load

[clear compass]

Running Diablo on ultra

[mortal grail]

3090ti clocks up to like, 450-500w nominal tho

transients around 600

[north crescent]

Very depentent on the load for higher power usage

[mortal grail]

yes ofc

but it's kinda warm for 300W

[clear compass]

It cut off

[mortal grail]

did you see it get any hotter or nah

[clear compass]

Not really

[mortal grail]

yeah I'm convinced something's wrong with the die or mem

[north crescent]

66c with 10c hotspot delta seems normal for Ampere aircooler on 300w no?

[mortal grail]

not for 4 slot

for 3 slot sure

[elfin mural]

an expensive gpu dying

that sounds like msi trick

[mortal grail]

wtf is it really that bad

[elfin mural]

or pure unfortunate event

[elfin mural]

oof

the thermals

[mortal grail]

how is zotac schooling msi

[elfin mural]

zotac better than msi lmao

how

[mortal grail]

wow tpu

no power reporting

zero power readings

ok that makes more sense

511W it's running that, makes more sense

[elfin mural]

oh

[mortal grail]

20ms spikes

so 10-5ms will be north 600

[elfin mural]

hungri gpu

[mortal grail]

@clear compass I would def consider rma for sure

[clear compass]

Yea will do that tomorrow when I swap it out

[craggy shoal]

[mortal grail]

wtf even my 6900xt has fuses

[craggy shoal]

fuses?

I didn't know GPUs had those

but maybe I'm stupid

[mortal grail]

they can save a gpu from critical damage

ah but my xfx xtx doesn't have them

ok at least one of my cards in my house is normal

[craggy shoal]

bruh I was thinking of car fuses lol

[mortal grail]

yeah that's pretty much exactly what I mean

just smaller

the yellow ones

[craggy shoal]

ye those things

Why

Why is despicable me 4 coming

Enough minions please

[elfin mural]

why am i surprised that parents are now buying ipads for their 1 year old kids

teachers having trouble teaching the gen alpha kiddos

[rancid juniper]

🗿

[random osprey]

gotta have subway surfers or family guy clips playing on the board while the teacher talks

[elfin mural]

bruh

even some kids are playing with their hands as if a phone is in their hands when one isn't

america is so doomed

or even one hand playing a game on the ipad

other scrolling tiktok on the phone

[rancid juniper]

mega cringe

[elfin mural]

enough brain rot for me

I lost enough braincells watching these vids

[gleaming sedge]

im pretty sure im crazy for this bedroom setup

just a little bit of a sneak peak

[elfin mural]

looks ok to me

[chrome mirage]

My bedroom has 2 TV spots

[gleaming sedge]

from top down yes

[elfin mural]

still fine

[icy ore]

does repasting gpu void warranty?

[elfin mural]

no

it shouldn't

[gleaming sedge]

ok there we go

thats a newer photo

[elfin mural]

it's illegal to void warranty just cuz you took it apart anyway

just don't damage anything and you're good

that's

still honestly normal

[obsidian berry]

So many monitors

[sinful blade]

No crack smoking room? Shame

[icy ore]

kk cool

[gleaming sedge]

yeppers

even 1 and 1/4th of a wall will be black

[sinful blade]

Ideal room

[obsidian berry]

Dawg

💀

[chrome mirage]

You forgot the beer can corner

[sinful blade]

Ah heckerino

Just so everyone knows
I don’t smoke crack

[obsidian berry]

That’s good, to many black walls mess with lighting

And it’s hard to paint over black I’ve heard

[gleaming sedge]

plus id be doing a "removable vinyl" so just a really big wall sticker

[sinful blade]

My entire apartment rn is a very odd white, it’s so horrendous
The last tenant painted the walls brown

And red before them

[gleaming sedge]

this entire house it white

even the outside

[sinful blade]

[craggy shoal]

@mortal grail still artifacting even after DDU :/ possibly still driver-related though?

[gleaming sedge]

how do newegg rebates work?

[velvet summit]

Doubt

[sinful blade]

[rancid juniper]

[mortal grail]

Unlikely no, I'd rma

Artifacting is pretty telling

[craggy shoal]

darn okay. thanks for the help though

[mortal grail]

Yeah sadge

All g

[umbral dagger]

Hi

why won’t new egg let me buy parts from USA to Canada. When I click country/region in the shipping thing, newegg.com takes me to newegg.ca.

I have a vid

Showing what happening

Brhe

[mortal grail]

The whole point of what I think you're trying to do, is get the cheaper price, where newegg CA passes import taxes and any other pre transaction charges by country or state law that need processing

[umbral dagger]

When I found a good deal

[mortal grail]

If it costs more in CA, it's just gonna cost more in CA

We often encourage here to look in plenty of stores to grab the best prices, not just newegg

We're volunteers at the end of the day, Newegg doesn't pay us

[umbral dagger]

Ok ty

[mortal grail]

@umbral dagger before you go

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list

Use this^

[umbral dagger]

I aheb a list

[mortal grail]

Helps you find the best prices (save for combos)

[umbral dagger]

Lemme show

[mortal grail]

Sure

I might be able to help save a few dollars

Or find some big performance jumps

[umbral dagger]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/6hGxkJ

Here

In cad

[mortal grail]

That doesn't look too bad

Mind if I change a couple things?

[umbral dagger]

Sure

It’s 1500 with tax included in it in cad 12 percent tax

[mortal grail]

@umbral dagger how much before tax can you roughly spend

I got it going slightly better for about 1280 rn before tax

[umbral dagger]

Well 1360 cad

[umbral dagger]

Ok

[mortal grail]

I can maybe fit a gpu upgrade here

[umbral dagger]

Well I’m planning on getting a 7800xt

Cuz gpu prices will prob drop

New gpu’s and stuff

[mortal grail]

How's this look
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/wL3jsh

[umbral dagger]

And I will put gpu in later

[mortal grail]

Slightly better cpu

Better ssd

[umbral dagger]

I would rather stick to am5

Cuz

Upgrade path for future

[mortal grail]

You'd save a lot going intel here tho

12600kf is a bit better

[umbral dagger]

It’s ok tho

[mortal grail]

Can always go up to 14th gen

[umbral dagger]

Teh upgrade path is none for lga socket

[mortal grail]

Coming from a guy who dailies both am5 and lga1700, they're both good really

You wouldn't know the difference

It's up to you tho

[umbral dagger]

I would prob stick with 7600

Thanks tho

[mortal grail]

Alr

[umbral dagger]

I’ll look at ssd

[mortal grail]

I can still trim the list with am5

[umbral dagger]

Ok but put it in Canada as region

To make it 1300

It’s 1500 without tax teh intel list u made

[mortal grail]

It's canada

I'm editing what you had lol

[umbral dagger]

Ok

It showed me 1500 tho with no tax

I need 1300 no tax

[mortal grail]

Yes cos 7800xt

[umbral dagger]

Ye

Ok

[mortal grail]

7800xt won't fit with am5

Nor lga1700 tbh

[umbral dagger]

Yea

[mortal grail]

Maybe am4

[umbral dagger]

Well time will tell

[mortal grail]

This just scrapes 1300
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/My6Ph3

You made a decent list tbh

Which is rare from people I encounter here

[umbral dagger]

B650 would be better

[mortal grail]

B650 just enables cpu oc, same board otherwise

[umbral dagger]

K

[mortal grail]

Will you be doing manual cpu oc?

[umbral dagger]

Idk

[mortal grail]

Like setting curve optimiser, running individual clock limits

Testing pbo for a few days to fine tune it out

Running core cycler etc

?

[umbral dagger]

Idk

💀

[mortal grail]

Lol

Well the main difference between the two is this, and the integrated wifi

[umbral dagger]

Ye

[mortal grail]

They're otherwise identical

[umbral dagger]

B650 just has auto oc?

K

[mortal grail]

B650 has all the manual options

[umbral dagger]

K

[mortal grail]

Like pbo etc

But a620 still has ram oc

Which is 99% of ryzen gains anyway

[umbral dagger]

Ok

[mortal grail]

If you want cpu oc tho then I see no reason not to

But you would stretch over 1300

[umbral dagger]

Ye

Well it would be 1355

I think

With the wifi card

[mortal grail]

The wifi card was 40 iirc ye?

So about 1330-ish

[umbral dagger]

Ye

[mortal grail]

It's pretty solid if you ask me

[umbral dagger]

Wait it’s $1385.57

I just check

[mortal grail]

M?

[umbral dagger]

On my list I just check and it’s

$1385.57

[mortal grail]

I got 1305 rn

[umbral dagger]

Wait lemme de teh ssd

If I get teh b650 bo with wifi

[mortal grail]

It would be 1327 with the wifi card and b650

[umbral dagger]

Wait

The ssd u put is gen 3 and the one I have is gen 4

[mortal grail]

Yes

The gen 3 is better

[umbral dagger]

K

[mortal grail]

Gen 3 and gen 4 is only the protocol

Does not mean faster

[umbral dagger]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/xkxkRK

I can’t do rebate

It’s to much work

[mortal grail]

Eh

It's only cheap with the rebate

💀

[umbral dagger]

Yes

💀💀

[mortal grail]

All the asrock boards are rebate

I can't really help with that

Not if you want white

Even the intel one

[umbral dagger]

Do we have to do rebate?

[mortal grail]

Rebate

Yes

To get that price

[umbral dagger]

Why Breh

[mortal grail]

They won't make an exception

[umbral dagger]

I will pay 30 extra lol

[mortal grail]

That's a question for them not me 💀

[umbral dagger]

I aheb to get some form and ship

[mortal grail]

Mhm

It's a pain isn't it

[umbral dagger]

To much work

Yes

[mortal grail]

But that's what they want

[umbral dagger]

Well I aheb to go now

[mortal grail]

I looked and all three boards are 180+ without rebate

[umbral dagger]

See u later

[mortal grail]

Ok

[umbral dagger]

Damn

[mortal grail]

Lol

Bye

The last number is the important thing. It's the write speed. If you do 1s intervals it's like 950-1.2GB/s

[mortal grail]

oh I have one of those

Lol it's not needed

[mortal grail]

a fashion statement

[kindred sluice]

Here's one that shows the twisty tie I used haha

[mortal grail]

I have a billion zip ties and velcro straps now

I pride myself a bit on this

faithfully collecting them over the years

...and yet

my pc has none of them

[kindred sluice]

#general-chat message

Yeah I pointed that out here.

Lol that thing sits in a closet with a portable window AC unit vented into the attic to keep the closet cool lol. I don't care about a zip tie I assure you

[mortal grail]

rightfully so tho

I've lost track of most of the ones I've used

[tranquil pebble]

What about a rar tie?

[mortal grail]

you know one tie I haven't been able to collect many of

2 days is nothing back in a day.

Just wait

[hallow geyser]

nah bro my internet is good why is it like tyhis

[obsidian berry]

Damm

Either connection or a lot people r using wifi rn

Might be something else tho

[hallow geyser]

no there isnt tho

[spark halo]

https://tenor.com/view/oil-gif-21278310

[pliant berry]

you checked for bandwidth limiters right?

[spark halo]

also check your router logs

I know I been getting alot of udp floods

reason i'll be buying network secruity to deal with them

[hallow geyser]

whats that

[pliant berry]

some software like Steam or even windows have alternate speed limitations, for Steam I think by default it limits the speed whenever a game is open so to not cause any issues with the game

[hallow geyser]

its google

[proud jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/bocchi-coffee-bocchi-the-rock-bocchi-bocchi-the-rock-gif-bocchi-funny-gif-27325558

[pliant berry]

If you do a speedtest and it’s not anywhere near that low it’s likely due to the server that it is being downloaded from. For services that have slow download servers usually the only thing you can do is look for an alternate server or a p2p method like ipfs or torrent

[craggy shoal]

I think it's crazy how Ryzen is doing much better than FX, given each of their respective ages

[rancid juniper]

indeed, every year they get better and better. Im really surprised they managed to fit a decent enough igpu into the desktop cpu

nothing was cut from the igpu

[craggy shoal]

6-7 years later and Ryzen is still kicking it. FX was being destroyed by Intel until around 2016-2017

[rancid juniper]

😂

and funny thing is, AM4 will never die

that socket is lasting

[mighty hazel]

I was low-key thinking of getting a 5700x cuz of how cheap they’re even for a 2nd pc or something

[craggy shoal]

I'd still say that the 5700X isn't a bad CPU either, especially if it's for a second PC

[rancid juniper]

GYATT

[craggy shoal]

I'm about to use a 5600G for a second for an HTPC lol

[mighty hazel]

I mean my cpu is the 12700K so it’s a bit faster

But a good deal is a good deal

[craggy shoal]

thanks for sending this so I don't have to look at the benchmarks myself

[rancid juniper]

np ig LMAO

[craggy shoal]

geez bruh the 5700G is getting obliterated

[mighty hazel]

5700g beating a 7700

[rancid juniper]

literally stands no chance

😂

[mighty hazel]

Oh wait that’s with igpu my bad 💀💀

[rancid juniper]

heres a few more XD

COD is wild

[craggy shoal]

I'm surprised by Cyberpunk

that's nuts lmao

[rancid juniper]

the problem is the cpus price

its like $329 iirc

you can probably get a decent cpu + gpu for probably less used

[craggy shoal]

yeah but you get probably one of the best iGPUs of all time within an 8c16t CPU

[rancid juniper]

i guess but i think the appeal for a config like that is either a itx pc or mini pc

but that alone is expensive af

which SUCKS

[craggy shoal]

yeah that's true though

[surreal kernel]

what app should I use to check my sdds health

[devout forum]

I'm honestly super considering a 8600G for my sister's PC

like unironically all she does is playing Minecraft and we wouldn't even need a GPU

8700G might be overkill for her but still

[devout forum]

or like having leftover parts

[rancid juniper]

or that

8600G might be the best overall bang for buck

$229 cpu

[devout forum]

That's my suspicion too tbf

would be plenty for what we need too

which is great

[unreal trail]

[atomic current]

give her a gpu so she can have pretty shaders

[devout forum]

I will give her my 6700 XT when I upgrade it

[atomic current]

vroom

[devout forum]

but until that she'll get on the APU

[dusk knot]

Terrible. Just terrible 😞

[rancid juniper]

Goes to show how weak vega is

[elfin mural]

8700g is essentially 7940hs

not essentially

literally

[rancid juniper]

7940hs desktop edition

Lol

I'll probably wait till I see mini PC versions go under $500

Maybe under $400 would be nice

Or, just sit till RDNA 4

[elfin mural]

my 680m 7735hs ran beam ok

but i have 4050 so

no sense to use it

[rancid juniper]

Is overclocking even possible on the igpu?

[elfin mural]

idk

i never touched radeon control lol

[rancid juniper]

I never once thought of an AMD apu being oc'd

[elfin mural]

like not even once

[rancid juniper]

Lol

[elfin mural]

i only touched nvidia control panel

[rancid juniper]

They should've made these apu for ultra light laptops (no dgpu)

Makes no sense

[elfin mural]

they exist

6800u

[rancid juniper]

Lemme check

[elfin mural]

and hs is technically a u in a sense

lower tdp than h

[rancid juniper]

different cpu ik but this is wild

you can get a decent gaming laptop config for that price

wtf

[gleaming sedge]

Roughly how much would it cost to get a new screen and battery in my surface pro 4? The touch does not work very well at all and battery hardly lasts a few hours

[devout forum]

does that make it good?

[tranquil pebble]

Lenovo? More like le no go.

[rancid juniper]

it is

[devout forum]

based

[rancid juniper]

just in a weird spot for me price wise

you're paying $329

[devout forum]

ye it is interesting

[rancid juniper]

i guess if you're on a tight budget on desktop and dont have time for a gpu i guess it could work

[rancid juniper]

LOL

[tranquil pebble]

Discord doing the funny again

I feel like this has to be a failure with how it caches data

[dusk knot]

Smh

[atomic current]

most valuable newegg conversation

[pliant berry]

Yeah the discord caching has been screwed up for a while

There is a bug on ios where it will continuously take up as much storage as it can, I’ve seen some people say their discord takes up 12gb and the clear cache doesn’t work you have to reinstall

[atomic current]

tbh that just sounds like iphones lol

[sinful blade]

I have 5.7

[pliant berry]

Don’t get me wrong system cache and data is ridiculous how much it takes up basically forcing you to buy a new phone, but this incident seems to be isolated to just discord

Im stuck reinstalling discord every few weeks cuz it leaves my phone with less than 500mb free

[atomic current]

damn

what's your model/storage

I well and truly only had 16gb ios devices

so of course they froze up lmao

[pliant berry]

I have a SE, i think 2022? Maybe earlier. 64gb

And apparently my battery health had dropped to 76% and is giving me a service warning

Thanks apple

Oops nvm its a 2020 se

Picking up my s24u in two days

[pliant berry]

Apparently my phone sells around 150-200usd. Maybe i should just sell it and get a 13 mini or something

[atomic current]

it's sad they don't make small phones anymore

the minis have been getting bigger I think

[unreal trail]

phones gonna be looking like tablets soon

[atomic current]

and none of them have been the size of the old ones

it'd be better if they were just tablets

tablet with a thick bezel, I can hold that

[pliant berry]

No they just stopped making them all together lol

[atomic current]

ah well

yep lol

[pliant berry]

There isn’t really a need to make a phone so big

[shut crystal]

If 5000 ti graphics card come out next year are we gonna have to immediately buy those and can we wait?

Because I don’t think you should be too hasty to upgrade your parts. It’s a waste of parts that still work. PC parts are built to last for years

[pliant berry]

I mean I don’t really recommend anyone to immediately buy new products

[atomic current]

nobody needs new pc hardware

[pliant berry]

Tbh the only thing I feel getting a bit dated on my rig is the ram

[dusk knot]

Same

[velvet summit]

have to? you never have to buy anything

[dusk knot]

Jenson said they have to

unless it's necessities for living life like food

It's wiser to wait for later batches of the cards. Who knows what issues we'll see in the beginning.
