My computer was perfectly fine and still is lol

[surreal kernel]

bro I think my fans are just stupid

😭

[mortal grail]

Are you using any gigabyte software in windows

[surreal kernel]

no

[gleaming sedge]

Ok why does some places want 119 dollar but amazon wants 42 for this cable

[storm narwhal]

Because Amazon is sus

[mortal grail]

Keep trying then, set the fans from pwm to voltage or to pwm next

[storm narwhal]

They're selling cable crimps connectors that don't even crimp properly

[surreal kernel]

hm

[storm narwhal]

Just ask Louis Rossman

[surreal kernel]

it's whatever man

[storm narwhal]

There's no guarantee you're getting good stuff from Amazon anymore

[surreal kernel]

idc about noise while om playing

my headphones block the sound out

anyways

[mortal grail]

Alr

[pliant berry]

been that way for a while

especially with the rise of dropshipping

[storm narwhal]

Mmhm

And big brands now pulling out of Amazon

Influx of cheap brands

[mortal grail]

The rise and fall drop

[storm narwhal]

Who have figured out exactly what Amazon considers a good business

[pliant berry]

lol

[mortal grail]

The american aliexpress

Amexpress when

[north crescent]

There basically never was

[storm narwhal]

Okay that's fair enough

[gleaming sedge]

https://a.co/d/axEKmEl

Might just go with that

Decent price and enough to last me for a very long time

[storm narwhal]

Hopefully

They're literally incorporating chatgpt into their reviews now though

Super weird

[gleaming sedge]

I mean it's just some cable, better than paying 120 from menards

[surreal kernel]

doesn't make sense bro

ts set to run at 100 when 65 c

it is 82 c

[mortal grail]

Ok and is the fan loud

[craggy shoal]

This guy

[surreal kernel]

sorry I fell asleep

[surreal kernel]

😭😭

but the fan isn't that loud

it's almost like it's the same

[surreal kernel]

[surreal kernel]

motor help

please

[craggy shoal]

bruh idk how to help you

I gave you advice

[surreal kernel]

it might b the fan curve

[surreal kernel]

ty but like idk man

they should've been lower

atelast like 5c

[rancid juniper]

im about to do something very stupid, its been a while since i last done it with the GTX 650

85 c whike playting brawlhalla

idk how to adjust rhe fan curve

[rancid juniper]

you can adjust fan curve from bios or using software from that motherboard

dunno what else to tell ya

[surreal kernel]

yeah but idk what values to put

[rancid juniper]

what

[surreal kernel]

these

[rancid juniper]

💀

[surreal kernel]

what

😭😭😭

[rancid juniper]

going up like a rocket

and the cpu still hot?

[surreal kernel]

what should I do

[surreal kernel]

85

yes

should I just put the modes at

full power

full speed

[rancid juniper]

if you like noise yea

[surreal kernel]

but I don't like it alot

Idk what to do

[rancid juniper]

you can try and undervolt your cpu... but i think you probably might find a way to break it

so pass

there are so many factors that can make your cpu hot

stock cooler should've handled it

[mighty hazel]

💀💀 I hate to call people idiots but....

[surreal kernel]

idk man

[rancid juniper]

oh my BRUh

[surreal kernel]

ima play around with these

idk what to do

does this look fine

[rancid juniper]

try it and see what happens

[surreal kernel]

you probbaly have no idea but do I need to click save fan profile

once or like

[rancid juniper]

yes

just click it

[surreal kernel]

alr I did

I set my case fans at full speed

yeah I think the fans don't pick up the settings

my fans r stupid

ok wait that's noticeably loud

idk if it's the case fans or cpu fan

I can still cook eggs on it

[rancid juniper]

[surreal kernel]

[mortal grail]

Damn that's kinda iffy price tho

[empty tide]

That's why I didn't post it in #tech-deals-discussion

I just find it funny that I'm looking at clearance merch, and then there's a psu

[surreal kernel]

ok so I did something

I put my case fans on full speed

and I lowered the temperature values of my cpu by 2 and raised the %by 3

thought this would work out but it didnt

😭😭

why did I bother upgrading

[grand kernel]

damn fire sale

[pliant berry]

You should buy now

[dusk knot]

[rancid juniper]

look man, either get a better cooler
-improve case airflow
-repaste
-or undervolt

not much i can do on my end

and plus, those temps are fine for a cpu

as long as its not throttling its fine

[surreal kernel]

idk how to check if it's throttling or not

but I saw a massive fps decrease in brawlhalla

went from like 900 to 600

anyways ty man

Ugh, I had to use that in college in certain labs for course work. Honestly didn't like it

[sweet phoenix]

mediocre price honestly

oh nvm

[sweet phoenix]

not ryzen master

pls no

[rancid juniper]

sorry man, i dont use ryzen so i thought this was "easier" for him

😂

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-radeon-rx-7900-gre-to-launch-globally-on-february-27th-at-549

looking great but the only problem is that memory bandwidth

this is the real 7800xt

hmm

glad to see there is an asrock challenger version already

one of the Aibs gotta add faster memory chips

🤔

[cinder trout]

Does a wireless router need a modem?

[rancid juniper]

if it doesn't have modem capabilities then it usually needs one

[gleaming rivet]

It depends. Back in the day there was just a modem and just a router so you needed both to have WiFi. Nowadays they make modem/router combos.

[rancid juniper]

^^^

[gleaming rivet]

Do you have a specific model you are looking at or currently have?

[cinder trout]

I just bought a ax3000

It came with a white cable I think is for the modem but genuinely praying it doesn't need one

Don't know anything Abt wifi or anything just saw it had a cord for it and was searched Google and it kept tryna say I needed one but some don't n some do

[mighty hazel]

[proud jackal]

@dusk knot are you spreading democracy

[dusk knot]

YES, SIR

[proud jackal]

im unable to join your games

[dusk knot]

whaaaa

@proud jackalam i online to you?

[dusk knot]

give me a few seconds, soldier

[sweet phoenix]

Nah you're good, ryzen master is just really really bad unless you don't have access to bios

It's just much more unstable and less reliable than doing the same thing in bios

@surreal kernel

For checking temps it's probably fine I'd imagine

Just UV in bios

[rancid juniper]

hmm, sounds like intel XTU

💀

[sweet phoenix]

Yep

Same thing

Like literally the same exact thing

[deep parcel]

probably can oc to match the 7800xt

[rancid juniper]

ehhhh maybe?

[deep parcel]

I mean the bandwidth

[rancid juniper]

18gbps to 19.5gbps sounds far

oh

[deep parcel]

I mean maybe halfway or more there if you can oc it that far

[rancid juniper]

ye

[deep parcel]

still it will have overall more compute power

[rancid juniper]

^^^

[deep parcel]

for $50 more I think its a fair tradeoff

[rancid juniper]

apparently the card was powerlimited to only 260w

so aibs may increase power output

that difference in compute

why cant that just be the regular 7800xt?

the heck amd?

💀

[nocturne flicker]

Needed room for 7850xt

Coming to a store near you when they need to put something out

[rancid juniper]

LOL

@deep parcel

[gritty forge]

so...

clip or no clip?

[cinder trout]

Would a 40 dollar modem bring the quality of a decent or normal router down?

Just bought this damn router just for it to then tell me I need to drop more money on a modem

[velvet summit]

yall should disable spanning-tree and plug a network cable into the same switch to create a switch loop

make sure to have spanning tree disabled

or else the fun things wont happen

[mental yoke]

newegg shipped my gpu with a 50% off doordash coupon???? 😭

extremely odd but appreciated

spend 700$ on gpu
heres like 20 bucks off doordash lol

[velvet summit]

is there a max limit

if you order $1000 of doordash, will you only need to pay $500

if you buy $1000000 of doordash, will you only need to pay $500000

[tranquil pebble]

torturing a switch go brr

[craggy shoal]

quic mafs

[velvet summit]

i did have spanning tree on this time for the picture but this morning i was like, f it and plugged it in without spanning tree

my whole network went down lol

it was only a gigabit swich so i didnt think a broadcast storm from a gigabit switch would bring down a 2.5gig network

i lowered it to 10mbit speeds and it still caused the network to go down

but this is the beauty of doing stuff like this at home, things that you do that mess up the network is only a minor inconvenience

lmao

anyways, spanning tree is great, make sure to use it

[craggy shoal]

ok 👍

[sinful blade]

It’s also only for new accounts

Oh no

Buy more

Wtf

[rough zinc]

Give it some vodka, that’s what fixes me

[rancid juniper]

Ok the stick that doesn't work works when it's alone

[rancid juniper]

Lol

Now it's giving me red CPU lights when two ram modules are present

Is the memory controller dead?

Dang I think my case hit the desk a bit to hard to be the case here

But it was less than like 5 inches of fall

☠️

Something def happened to the CPU/slot

Damn...

The system does boot up correctly with one stick

I probably might have to reseat my CPU ig

None of the sticks are faulty

Imma sleep now and work on it later

[sweet phoenix]

When you see this, try reseating cpu/checking socket or cpu pins

[rancid juniper]

. @mortal grail

[mortal grail]

Contact frame?

Contact frame?

Contact frame?

Contact frame?

[rancid juniper]

I have it

[mortal grail]

Could be bad mount

Contact frem cause crazies

[paper verge]

ok now i want you to turn the cpu upside down then get a hammer and smash it

[rancid juniper]

🗿

[mighty hazel]

Did your cou break or something

[rancid juniper]

After that small drop it may seem that the CPU cooler pressed down on the CPU a bit

[mortal grail]

Cou cou goes the bird

[rancid juniper]

It works but doesn't work with two memory sticks

[mortal grail]

Drop????????

Wait

Thanks gboard

[rancid juniper]

The case was horizontal and dropped like <5 inches

Na

Probably lower

It wasn't something crazy

[mortal grail]

Man that's below average if you think about it

[rancid juniper]

Yea

And yet the CPUs memory controller wanted to die

[mortal grail]

No but fr that's kinda concerning considering tower cooler

The socket looks fine tho

Hmmge

[paper verge]

last warning before i ban you from life

[mortal grail]

Do you see any signs of cracking on the motherboard

[mighty hazel]

Did you try different ram slots

[mortal grail]

The bit that worries me is it'll be a big tower with a lot of torque

I'd be looking anywhere for signs of a split

Anywhere near the socket

[rancid juniper]

Look at the right of the CPU for a moment

[mortal grail]

Wa

[rancid juniper]

I'm seeing splotches of lighter gold?

IDK

[rancid juniper]

Yes

[mortal grail]

Are those pads damaged maybe

[rancid juniper]

I hope to God not

[mortal grail]

Would be an insane story if it was

They look

Odd

[rancid juniper]

But it may seem so...

[mighty hazel]

The right looks a bit weird

[rancid juniper]

I'm seeing some of them broke in half

What

The

Hell

[mortal grail]

WHAT

[mighty hazel]

Those look broken or bent

[mortal grail]

Omg

[mighty hazel]

The little pins or contact

[rancid juniper]

The darker contacts are like half broken

...

FML

[mortal grail]

[mighty hazel]

Oof

[mortal grail]

[mortal grail]

Try warranty

[mighty hazel]

Did u buy the amazon accidental warranty

[rancid juniper]

Doubt I'll get warranty, I don't remember getting covered by an eBay store

[paper verge]

bruh who gets that stuff

[mortal grail]

Claim theft 😂😂😂

[rancid juniper]

Bruh no time for jokes

[paper verge]

yeah we can say felix stole it

[rancid juniper]

Damn if I could just rewind time

[mortal grail]

I have NEVER seen damage like that

[mighty hazel]

Well look at the bright side

[rancid juniper]

I can't deal with a cpu with broken contacts, even if it works it will just error out at some point

[mighty hazel]

You can buy i9 now

[rancid juniper]

There is no bright side

It's a waste

[mighty hazel]

13900K or 14900K

[mortal grail]

This is insane to me, the board looks fine

Yet that one unusual pic

And now we know

[rancid juniper]

CPU gets wrecked and the mobo doesn't

[mortal grail]

The cpu looked fine as well at first

[rancid juniper]

I dunno if it's the contact frame to blame or the drop itself

[mortal grail]

Honestly this might even be repairable

[rancid juniper]

How?

[mortal grail]

The drop obviously

[mortal grail]

Redo the pads

[rancid juniper]

I'm not THAT skilled

[mortal grail]

If it's just gouged pads then some masterclass shop might be able to

[paper verge]

send it to lockheed they'll fix it

[rancid juniper]

@mortal grail this Friday I start buying my parts

Now I just need to stop changing my mind

Specifically for this incident too lol

dude dont worry

as soon as you buy your parts ur gonna see better deals

feel bad about it

cycle continues

[gleaming sedge]

man my internet is not happy right now, downloading at 2.9MB/s

hopefully the company fixes the problem soon

[craggy shoal]

Fr. Once you save up and obtain good parts, you'll have kids saying "your parts are so outdated" next year. Little idiots need to shut up because they don't even have a computer 💀

[rancid juniper]

Bruh how can it break so easily

[craggy shoal]

I sat on it

[rancid juniper]

Hdd fine and it dont

😡😡😡

This sucks

[paper verge]

i wonder if it can brake if you fart on it

heard a humans fart is like 120km or something

[rancid juniper]

Breh

[craggy shoal]

Yes with wet fart juice

[paper verge]

its like even more in the winter i think

dude i kinda feel bad about you loosing your cpu and me just trolling

[rancid juniper]

Guess I'll just have to be 2x more careful from now on

[sinful blade]

I may have changed my mind last night and took half out

[craggy shoal]

Of course lol

wow downloading farm sim 22 is going to take a very long time at 70kB/s

[craggy shoal]

[gleaming sedge]

wont fix it

Get y'all's patch panel configured

[gleaming sedge]

i normaly get 400MB/s on wifi anyways

[craggy shoal]

Oh :(

[tranquil pebble]

plug it in, plug it in

[gleaming sedge]

wont fix it

its the internet provider having some problems at the moment

[craggy shoal]

I still need to configure my patch panel lol. I told my parents a long time ago I would but I never did 💀 (I don't have the tools for it)

L ISP

[gleaming sedge]

Plus can't configure my patch panel when I don't have one

[paper verge]

is that stupid discord ai bot still alive?

[craggy shoal]

I hate that when you're getting a house built you tell them "I want wired networking capabilities" so they do everything OTHER THAN configuring the patch panel

[craggy shoal]

Which one?

[gleaming sedge]

Yea my dad's house does not have anything so I have to try and figure out how I'm going to run cat5e cable from the barn into the house

I'm thinking thr corner of the house into the attic then down the wall

[craggy shoal]

Ahhh gotcha

I would say get a real long Ethernet cable (idk how far the barn is from the house), dig a trench underground, route PVC piping through the ground, and route the Ethernet through the PVC. If needed (idk how much it would cost), get a repeater

(This is just an idea though. Idk if it's a solution for you but I just thought of it)

[dusk knot]

pov: 5 minute hack s

[craggy shoal]

On this exact day, at 9:13 AM (Central Time), JP said

Hhm

[mortal grail]

Hhm

[paper verge]

that or just get a cat 9 cable and just run it on the ground

[craggy shoal]

1. Get a jar
2. Stick your hands in a nearby toilet (can be your friend's if needed)
3. Poop on your cat (find a cat if you don't have one)
4. Completed

[mortal grail]

9 lives

[paper verge]

real i was tryna have a snow fight with my cat

wasnt really fun

[gleaming sedge]

thats pretty much exactly what i am thinking, run the ethernet down a small pipe run it a little bit underground then into the house from the barn. I have all of the tools i need to make the custom length run

[gleaming sedge]

i am not a millionaire but fun idea

[craggy shoal]

Idk how far your barn is, but I highly recommend a repeater if it's far

[gleaming sedge]

its like 20 feet from outside wall to outside wall, so id say probably will be around 40 to 50 feet run

[sinful blade]

I spend the last 10 minutes trying to find this
This was what I originally worked with

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2t3zLP

A friend got it for me for $200

The only upgrades that had was to a ryzen 5 4500 and a 1080

[craggy shoal]

Oh yeah upgrades are necessary lol

[paper verge]

chatgpt getting dumber every day

[craggy shoal]

Oh I see

[sinful blade]

So I’m used to running a lot of games on medium or low if they’re super new with like 60 fps

So being able to do 170+ on games like cyberpunk with ultra settings is going to be nice

[craggy shoal]

throw several topics at a WIP AI
"ChatGPT getting dumber"

[paper verge]

dude what

[sinful blade]

I’ll be using a 7800x3d and a 4090 lmao

[devout forum]

Hold on 7900 GRE actually kinda worth it?

[mortal grail]

Yes

Price/perf it edges out 7800xt

[paper verge]

yeah theres no way thats gonna happen with ultra settings

[sinful blade]

It easily does
Not with RT on though

[devout forum]

This seems to contradict that statement Felix

[paper verge]

oh without rt

[devout forum]

so what is up actually?

like I want to believe you but HUB disagrees

[mortal grail]

HUB has reviewed that card TWICE and managed to somehow demonstrate that a card with 33% more CU's runs only a couple % faster

[sinful blade]

RT is nice, but it’ll be for whenever I wanna see nice things

[mortal grail]

Check any other review and it's a different statement

[devout forum]

I'll check GN Steve

[mortal grail]

I literally posted this in the other chat an hour ago

It sits right between 7800XT and 7900XT, swing towards 7800XT for bandwidth intensive games

[devout forum]

I mean yeah I expected it to be cheaper than the 4070s
But to be more worth than a 7800 XT seems wild

[mortal grail]

Due to reduced bus

It was always kind of good

Just HUB made a mockery of it

[sinful blade]

This is what I use to make sure I’m looking at the proper grade of gpu

I am dumb however

And it’s outdated slightly

[mortal grail]

Just noticed the huge mistake of mileage spelling there

Lmfao

[devout forum]

XFX 7900 GRE is 252k HUF (with a seemingly reference cooler design)
Sapphire Pulse 7900 GRE is 287k HUF (with a custom cooler design)
Asrock 7800 XT Phantom Gaming OC is 251k HUF

At those prices would it be worth it against a 7800 XT?

[sinful blade]

shhhhh

[mortal grail]

Yes

XFX

[devout forum]

but only the XFX one ye

the reference cooler is a bit worrying to me tbf

[mortal grail]

The card is significant tho

256 bit bus sure

But navi 31 XL

And 18gbps memory

[devout forum]

like the reference cooler seems weaksauce (easily hitting 90 C)

[mortal grail]

The big thing about this card, might be the overclocking

[devout forum]

I mean I'm probably not gonna put it on water and heavily OC

so I'm more interested in what I can get fairly easily than ultimate potential

[mortal grail]

Reference vapour chamber design sort of negates that statement a bit

[rancid juniper]

Guess I'll accept the L for now

[mortal grail]

I mean 4 less CU's

[mortal grail]

Than 7900XT

2gbps less memory speed

If you can push it with oc, and a lot of these cards you can

[devout forum]

it's really the cooler I'm anxious about

[mortal grail]

It should get pretty close

[devout forum]

also Type C output is kinda based

[mortal grail]

If it's the triple fan reference then it should be great

[rancid juniper]

https://youtu.be/-3o4sZklnJo?si=mGYnu3HM_gmOTIP0

[mortal grail]

7800xt same tdp, dual fan, doesn't get near throttle

It'll potentially be noisy but should be very functional

[devout forum]

it's some kind of OEM card, God knows how they sourced it

[paper verge]

"Women, like the seasons, have their share of bright sunshine and dark storms; it is in navigating both that their character is truly revealed."

[mortal grail]

[devout forum]

But I think it uses the same cooler that the XFX 7900 XT uses

which I dunno if it's reference or custom

[mortal grail]

That would be reference

[devout forum]

So good enough?

[mortal grail]

Should be

Reference normally is

[devout forum]

Alrighty

S'pose it's a legit upgrade over the 7800 XT for pretty much the same price

[gleaming sedge]

i can get a 1000 foot roll for 42 dollars and i have the tools so just need to change electrical box in my room

man this is gonna take a very long time

[mighty hazel]

66kb 😭

[gleaming sedge]

yep

[mighty hazel]

Is that like 1mbps

[gritty forge]

No that's 66kb

You said it

[gleaming sedge]

internet provider is having a outage problem the same time im trying to download this

[gritty forge]

Burn the isp

[tranquil pebble]

internet slow provider

[gritty forge]

Real

[gleaming sedge]

hopefully they can get it fixed soon so i can go back to my 400MB/s

[paper verge]

🤓

[paper verge]

bro gonna level up from noob to hacker

[gritty forge]

Bro needs the 5Gbps

The other clown said he had

[gleaming sedge]

i mean we pay for 250 or 300 up and down and get like 450

when there is not a outage

[velvet summit]

roll of what? romex?

[gleaming sedge]

cat5e

[mortal grail]

Rolex

[velvet summit]

oh

[rancid juniper]

@mortal grail yo

[velvet summit]

where are you finding 1000ft rolls for less than $50 lmao

[rancid juniper]

The CPU boots!

[mortal grail]

Eh

[gleaming sedge]

amazon

[mortal grail]

[velvet summit]

though it would also be quite strange to find 1000ft rolls of romex for under $50 unless it's CCA

[gleaming sedge]

sorry 500ft

[velvet summit]

yeah that makes more sense

[mortal grail]

Frankenpooter

[rancid juniper]

Both ram sticks

[velvet summit]

usually i see 1k ft rolls of cat5e for around $100

[mortal grail]

So what you just remounted it

[rancid juniper]

I literally botched the thermal paste application because I didn't care anymore

[rancid juniper]

Guess so, but what about the broken contacts?

[mortal grail]

Good question

[velvet summit]

noooo i need to file taxes

[mortal grail]

Wtf about the contacts

[rancid juniper]

I also tightened the contact frame

[mortal grail]

I was gonna suggest a remount until we saw the tech gore

[rancid juniper]

Rip CPU stability

[paper verge]

not really you can just give your house instead

[gleaming sedge]

i dont but i might do it anyways

[mortal grail]

Don't take it off now if it works

It could break again

With your below-average-length drops

[rancid juniper]

I know

[rancid juniper]

Frfr

I'm still baffled

It's barely a drop

[mortal grail]

The thing with torque

Is what's small gets accelerated

In almost exponential fashion

[gritty forge]

Yeah

But if it is like my s23

It will just charge at the standard 20W

[rancid juniper]

The more you know

[mortal grail]

I'm honestly in one way surprised the mobo is fine

That's in it's own right extremely lucky

[gleaming sedge]

cat6 in 10 dollars more than the box of cat5e

[paper verge]

wait

cat9 doesnt exist?

wtf?

[tranquil pebble]

Cat ➈ Cirnonet

[elfin mural]

cat 9 is marketing ploy

[tranquil pebble]

should be illegal to advertise like that IMO

[gleaming sedge]

so i could spend the extra 10 dollars and have faster cable for if i do run a server, i have the passthrough connecters and a bunch of the other things i need to make custom length cables. plus maybe ill need some for my B. S. N. once i have the money to do that

[elfin mural]

cat 5e is enough for normal plebs, even home server

[gleaming sedge]

for one of the servers id run 10 Gig would be super nice to have

[elfin mural]

ya

that's fair

[gleaming sedge]

it would help cut down on the time transferring photos if needed, plus never know if someone wants me to run ethernet for them they might want that 10Gb

i do miss having my youtube videos at the moment

[rancid juniper]

The msi z690 pro-a is a tough board

Insane quality

[tranquil pebble]

MSI z series boards are nice in general in my experience

[rancid juniper]

[velvet summit]

damn you nfts for making my search for nftables show crpyto

[worthy tapir]

Someone crashed into one of the stores in my district yesterday smh my head

They took that outage personally

[gritty forge]

How tf did that get there

[velvet summit]

skill issue

[velvet summit]

hey you cant park there

[paper verge]

bro wanted to prove hes the tuff guy

[gritty forge]

[rancid juniper]

It's crazy how easy it is to get a license in the US

☠️

[sinful blade]

I got mine from driving for like 4 minutes in the back of a parking lot, and then parallel parking once

I went and took an actual test elsewhere to prove to myself I could do it, but I had my license already

[rancid juniper]

Bruh

Yea

[unreal trail]

https://tenor.com/view/bruh-gif-11797575641584794355

[sinful blade]

Then again, I got my license the month Covid restrictions were put into place

[rancid juniper]

Lol

@mortal grail imma attempt to stress test the CPU just in case

no dlss support

LMFAO

@craggy shoal I gave the wrong list

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NGdPL9

This is my list
I’m still changing things around, so nothing is quite final

[rancid juniper]

😂

[surreal kernel]

can someone give me a good cooler for my 5600

(link)

[gleaming sedge]

would VorpX be worth getting if i wanted to play some games in Vr that dont support it already?

or is there one thats cheaper or free

just want to try farm sim in vr

[young matrix]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kPNMKX

Remove the thermal paste + get a better ssd

Thats my only suggestion

Other than that

Solid list

[sinful blade]

It’s a backup+ty, I forgot I still had that in there

The updated list is in #building-and-recc-chat , minus the ssd

[surreal kernel]

hm

[cinder trout]

How much should a modem cost

Would a 40 dollar one be good or should I get a 70 dollar. Just got new router but needs a modem so don't wanna get a bad one but not tryna spend too much on it

[velvet summit]

depends on what speed

do you know what docsis version your isp is using

note that even though they're technically supposed to be backwards compatible, it usually doesnt work well like that

[tacit geode]

Just use your isp provideed

[velvet summit]

ew, modem rental fees

🔥

[gleaming sedge]

I have fiber so their box costs nothing and we just bought our own router

[velvet summit]

my isp router hub doesnt have a removable sfp module

apparently older revisions of it had it

but they put the fiber receiver into the hub unit

soldered

[gleaming sedge]

Dang

Also great knews my temp setup is done for now I might add a few other things

Hopefully I can find another 27 inch monitor for around 100 or less so it can make the outside match

I'll need 2 vertical mounts and a single monitor mount for the middle though

[mortal grail]

If you wake up one day and it's dead again then you and I both know why. Lmao

[rancid juniper]

well cinebench r24 did freeze with 6 minutes left on the stress test

still keeping the oc tho

lmao

[mortal grail]

Really you're not gonna check it properly

If it boots and runs check the stock performance

I would even consider rma rn

If that is possible with your rogue intel ebay trader

[grand kernel]

what happened what did I miss

[sinful blade]

Drugs

[grand kernel]

nice

[rancid juniper]

pistol

[rancid juniper]

the cpu boots just fine and i haven't seen any crazy errors so far

no bsods or anything

stock runs fine

so rn im running my oc profile

[rancid juniper]

me when im in chernobyl control room

[mortal grail]

Cue stage left mothra and co

[rancid juniper]

it does leave me a bit uneasy

like who knows what those contact pins are for

the first thing i did was check device manager

all drivers seem to be working fine

all usb functions are fine

[mortal grail]

I'm nervous for you ngl

Lmao

Like your friend just got a massive dent in his head

Gets up

[rancid juniper]

all sensors are fine

[mortal grail]

All good

[rancid juniper]

basically this

weird stuff

[mortal grail]

He lookin around with that dent tho

[rancid juniper]

im just grateful i didnt get an expensive paperweight

[mortal grail]

Bruh that ain't a paperweight until you touch it

💀

[rancid juniper]

it could be that the fall probably hit some part of the cpu and the memory controller wasn't in proper contact

ok

a black dot on the screen

basically the monitor is slowly dying out

[rancid juniper]

frfr

im legit scared of opening my computer up again

the whole build is a glass canon

go for it then

you probably know the layout by heart now

so its not an issue

oh

buy

it will... eventually

[rancid juniper]

lol

for sure

imagine getting GTA 6 before switch 2

would be funny

[cinder trout]

Idk what allat means💀

Would sending the modem and the router help?

💀

Fr tho would sending model of both help or would that be something I have to physically look at bottom or that shet

[dusk knot]

Boring till OLED is confirmed

😀

[rancid juniper]

there will be a switch 2 oled

[velvet summit]

your isp may say

[dusk knot]

Awesome

[rancid juniper]

just in 4+ more years

🤣

[velvet summit]

well, it's probable either docsis 3.1 or docsis 4.0

docsis 3.0 is basically obsolete at this point

if your plan can go over 200mbit, then it's probably 3.1

if it can do over 2 gig, then it's 4.0

[tranquil pebble]

rofl

[dusk knot]

That was weird

[grand kernel]

the answer is more voltage

2v will make it stable again

[rancid juniper]

Lol

Ah yes I would like my CPU to go up 150c so I can cook my food

i can't imagine going to mcdonalds right now

in its current state

[deep parcel]

FORTNITE WCDONALDS?

mcdonalds really trying to do anything to get the youth back at mcdonalds

[misty sparrow]

the solution is obvious yet they don't want to do it

and it has nothing to do with fortnite or advertising in general

all they have to do is lower prices back to where they used to be

[rancid juniper]

e

[misty sparrow]

after all their prices are rivaling restaurants while they give less. why would I drive to McDonalds and get a lazily made meal that's somehow made incorrectly with bad service when i can go to a restaurant and get actual food

[rancid juniper]

bruh i dunno what id do if that actually happened

lol

[deep parcel]

exactly, id rather eat at chickfila and pay more

or literally anywhere else but mcdonalds

mcdonalds in Japan is pretty good though from what ive heard

thats the only place I would get mcdonalds lol

[misty sparrow]

i've heard that a lot of fast food joints are better in places outside of their actual home country

like KFC

apparently they're a renowned household name outside the US and they're very innovative, but in the actual US the food is low quality w/ bad service and not very innovative

[pliant berry]

kfc is bigger in europe now yeah

[misty sparrow]

can someone help with input between two prebuilts?

[velvet summit]

you can just send it here or build chat

[split marsh]

i can send both links to the pcs?

[velvet summit]

i believe so

[split marsh]

https://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Desktop-RyzenTM-NVIDIA®-V35S-B650-460-LCS/dp/B0CG8631F9/ref=sr_1_7?

ok yeah your links dont get deleted

i forgot if role-less members could send links or not

[split marsh]

https://www.amazon.com/Skytech-Gaming-Shadow-PC-Desktop/dp/B0C9PC692K/ref=sr_1_6?

^for this one i would isntall 32gb of ram

ive doen research comparing cpus and ram change. but idk why the price would be the same and if im missing something

[velvet summit]

thermaltake one should be better, but wait for someone else to say if it's actually a good value for a prebuilt since i'm not aware of what is a good price anymore lol

[gritty forge]

Nice link

[misty sparrow]

by the way you can cut out everything after the question mark for a shorter link

[split marsh]

thanl you

[misty sparrow]

generally it's better to build a computer yourself using parts you get yourself

i don't really think these specific prebuilts are of good value but i may be wrong

computer with a 4060 really shouldn't be $1000+

[split marsh]

yeah i just dont have the time to do it on my own. thats why i need input between the two for which would be better

[dusk knot]

Take 2-4 hours to build a PC on your first go

[misty sparrow]

if you dont have the time to build a pc do you have time to play games?

it really doesnt take long at all

think of it like building legos

[sinful blade]

Is there a reason MSI keyboards are poorly rated just about everywhere

[elfin mural]

they're crap

that's why

[sinful blade]

Hi

Does anyone know how to access the extra cables for this:

I can’t figure out how to get the PSU out, but I can see the extra cables behind it, so I’m assuming I should be able to access it

[elfin mural]

Those aren't from the psu

to take the psu out

[young matrix]

Open the other side panel

[orchid ridge]

How do you do that?

[elfin mural]

you need to open the other side panel

flip the case upright

[young matrix]

Like you did with the glass side

[orchid ridge]

There are no screws

Thanks for helping everyone. I have no idea what I’m doing.

You guys are amazing. Thanks.

[deep parcel]

maybe someone will flash it with rx 7900xt vbios

[rancid juniper]

With how locked rdna 3 is I doubt it would work properly

Also what about the vram?

7900xt uses 20gb while GRE is 16gb, someone has to modify the vbios heavily just to utilize the 16gb properly

[deep parcel]

hmmm

then maybe 7800xt vbios

[rancid juniper]

Bruh

I'm pretty sure they have different dies

The best thing is for an AiB to secretly add faster vram to match the 7800xt atleast

But that may drive up the cost already

[cinder trout]

Ethernet cable was working until I turned off PC and turned it back on not it wont

I have a modem and a router and legit don't know if anything else happened besides just turning it off

[cinder trout]

Prob fire but couldn't pay me to drink it

[misty sparrow]

This is literally the first ever message you post in the server and it’s to advertise your art portfolio?

No offense to your portfolio but this is like walking into a bar and trying to advertise sobriety within said bar

[elfin mural]

sounds like a scam to me ngl

all too common these days

and ads don't belong here in this channel

[misty sparrow]

What if I wanted to advertise the new hit game RAID Shadow Legends-

[proud jackal]

[ancient swift]

Why though? Benchmarks I've seen the 7800xt is worse than it. Especially for 1440p and 4k.

The 7800xt out performs it somewhat consistently at 1080p and lower. But then loses when you go up to 1440p even more consistently 🤷‍♂️

But anyways

7950 XTX3D GPU when

dunno just to unlock some stuff

[elfin mural]

[spark halo]

I'd tell you that you would need more g-fuel for the emotional damage your about to receive.

[rancid juniper]

I know you're thinking about something cool like that rx 560 unlock

But AMD had to become Nvidia and lock many things down on the hardware level?

That's why morepowertool doesn't work for rdna3

Cool piece of software as I managed to undervolt the 6700xt so much

same here

got my expectations low though

i really want to play this game day one

[deep parcel]

from the gameplay I saw on the demo for content creators it looks like its gonna flop

but dunno

[rancid juniper]

😂

luckily it was captured on an "alpha build"

we really don't know how far back that build was tho

if its near release we're doomed

lmao

[deep parcel]

yea

im sure they took a ton of feedback from the content creators tho

[rancid juniper]

it shouldnt be them all the time

☠️

[rancid juniper]

but hopefully these guys actually took what they heard from their audience and told the devs about it

[rancid juniper]

wcdonalds

[proud jackal]

fun fact

10 pc chicken nuggies costs more than whole chicken from costco

[tranquil pebble]

not too surprising

[rancid juniper]

🗿

[tranquil pebble]

you really pay for the convenience with fast food

also eating mcd without coupons isnt really worth it

[icy ore]

don’t need a membership for McDonald’s

lol wish there was a costco closer to me

[tranquil pebble]

Well there's the app that often gives a lot of deals

[icy ore]

yeah don’t have to pay for it tho

[tranquil pebble]

right, that would suck ngl

[icy ore]

yeah absolutely

tho the app does have good deals

still wouldn’t

[tranquil pebble]

I can get an entire meal with drink for like $4.75 or so with the app

[icy ore]

Taco Bell has a new thing that’s pretty good

had it tonight
