And upgrades are ez

#

And old mobo still is a working computer

craggy shoal
#

She needs a lighter laptop. She's using a decommissioned Dell Latitude 3520, which is pretty heavy for her when she has to pack a lot of stuff for school

#

She's a grad student at UT Austin. She doesn't have a car so she has to take an 18-minute walk daily :/

storm narwhal
#

Damn, that's a workout for sure

#

Carrying a laptop shaped dumbbell to and back from work lol

craggy shoal
#

yeah fr

#

plus whatever else she packs

storm narwhal

Just kinda sucks that framework is expensive for the specs it has

Framework still hasn't restocked their 12th gen and 11th gen Intel parts :/ I doubt they would though because their a coupld years old now

atomic current
#

hmm it didn't copy?

storm narwhal
#

That's not a laptop

atomic current
#

by all means give them both to your girlfriend

storm narwhal
#

Now that's a cart

#

I was thinking more of a backpack with waist straps and whatnot

#

You get the option to distribute the weight to the waist

craggy shoal
#

Ooooh actually that cart would be really now for when we go to get groceries

#

A lot of places in Austin don't give out plastic bags

atomic current
#

I got a small saddle bag for my bike rack

craggy shoal
#

(Yeah that "it's a liberal city" statement isn't an exaggeration. But let's not get too political)

storm narwhal
#

I just put it in my inventory

atomic current
#

I don't really know how to get my hands on a milk crate but that would be great for even more storage on the back of my bike

storm narwhal
#

All my items are a 64 stack

#

Then I can just turn them into blocks by filling the crafting table

craggy shoal
#

Hot take but I think Minecraft needs to increase the maximum amount of a stack. 64 just isn't enough

#

Or, (hear me out) they should allow players to use a backpack

storm narwhal
#

And they should give you the option to compress more items

#

Literally playing a mod pack and the fact that you can make crates of potatoes and other farm items

#

Save so much space

craggy shoal
#

I guess they have shulker boxes but I'm a casual player. I don't even enjoy going to the End lol. I just want to play the game

storm narwhal
#

Shouldn't just be shulker boxes fr

#

They're also kinda annoying to use

I just gather horses, llamas, and donkes

storm narwhal
#

Slime slingshot and boots would like a word

But then the same mod has slingshots that just shoot blocks to where you're aiming

I have a small issue, for this job that I am getting an interview for I need my computer to be hardwired... currently on wifi but its good wifi because I have a really good router... anyways I have two options basically. 200 ft ethernet cable or powerline ethernet adapter. there is no ethernet plugs in this house as it is older (1987), and the only coaxial plug is in the living room downstairs(where the modem/router are) which is all the way on the other corner of the house upstairs... What should I do?

atomic current
#

a 200ft cable for now perhap

deep parcel
#

thats what I was thinking, on the safer side.

#

or I could do a wifi extender or something

#

kinda jank mesh

Mesh would probably work

Hmm

also best reliability in terms of support

velvet summit
#

You will have to either do powerline ethernet, or run the cable through the walls (easier if you have an unfinished basement) or run the cable in your house

deep parcel
#

im going mesh route, getting a ZenWiFi AX Mini (xd4) for a decent price from my friend.

velvet summit
#

Mesh might not be ideal for this application either tbh

deep parcel
#

I mean my wifi is already pretty reliable with my asus router, with aimesh it will be pretty good.

atomic current
#

mesh is when you pretend to use cables with wifi

deep parcel
#

just need the appearance of being hardwired

#

it should in theory still be ever so slightly better than being on wifi

chrome mirage
velvet summit
#

Well, latency may be more important than data rate? You might have a slower powerline adapter as well

chrome mirage
velvet summit
#

I believe there are 10mbps powerline adapters

And up to like 2gig? Or 1

but its a ips panel

unless I use dlss

which hopefully should look much better on 1440p

fair onyx
#

anybdoy willing to help me find some fans for my case? I can't find any consistent info on my case in terms of how many fan sit can hold/if my setup will cause clearance issues with them

#

it should be fast and simple, if anybody would be willing

#

I know I for sure need 2, but I think I might be able to do 4?

wooden marten
#

maybe a 4070ti

#

but then i would probably need a better cpu

fair onyx
#

I have a Lian Li 215 Lancool, for anybody who would be willing to help. I have a dual GPU setup, so I am not sure if the bottom fans (not even sure if this case can house them) would be blocked

wooden marten
#

unless 12600k is still sufficient

fair onyx
#

I love my 12600k, been a great CPU

fair onyx
#

thank you, looks like I can't do the bottom fans, which kinda sucks

random osprey
#

only clearance issue would be the top if you have a rad up there and tall ram sticks

fair onyx
#

top should be fine, but the bottom is a no go

#

unless I can mount one of the fans under that grill instead of on top

sour falcon
#

Weggperts

#

Can I buy stuff in different currencies?

random osprey
#

actually nvm bout the top, literally a picture of them with a rad up there, lol. but ye bottom would be a problem depending on what you have

fair onyx
#

this one

sour falcon
#

The hoodie I want is in €

fair onyx
#

it looks like I would be able to mount it under

random osprey
#

or if they just dont ship to you

sour falcon
#

Never bought stuff outside of the $ so idk what I’m doing lol

fair onyx
#

this is how I wanna do it I think

#

i am trying to direct heat out of my window

random osprey
fair onyx
#

the problem is I really need more airflow at the bottom where my GPU's are... hmmm

silver sparrow
#

This doesnt do much at all for airflow

#

you just end up looping the air

sour falcon
silver sparrow
#

with a AIO thats how you thermal throttle even faster

random osprey
sour falcon
#

It’s like reversing the radiator fan on a car

fair onyx
fair onyx
sour falcon
silver sparrow
#

you intake the hot air you are exhausting through the aio, and you are exhausting the hot air you are intaking

#

and like a little bit of air around it kinda wants to go in as well

sour falcon
#

From what you showed you have an area for the fan on the rear

#

Atleast the case photo shows that

fair onyx
#

there is not room there, my GPU blocks it

obsidian berry
fair onyx
sour falcon
#

Not the GPU

fair onyx
random osprey
silver sparrow
# fair onyx its for air for my CPU

then why are you exhausting the air to the right of it? The CPU isnt going to get much of that air you are intaking cause the exhaust is creating negative air pressure causing most of the intake air to go out the case

fair onyx
#

hmm, good point

#

its really hard to factor all of this in

sour falcon
fair onyx
#

its the only exhaust I have

sour falcon
#

Ah I see

fair onyx
#

I need to try to get as much air to come out of the top back as possibel to vent outside

sour falcon
#

I mean to be fair the pcie slots you aren’t using function as an exhaust

random osprey
#

time for diy intake on glass side panel derpyBlob

fair onyx
sour falcon
#

We won’t bring up my pc kekw

silver sparrow
fair onyx
#

this case was not made for what I am doing, frankly, cooling like 780 watts of components is a lot to ask from this little case

sour falcon
#

Better to have positive pressure than negative

fair onyx
#

I think I know what I will try

#

I will try this and try to block the slots

#

and I will probably remove the back

#

I don't wanna over-spin it

#

I just need as much air forcing out of a spot I can attach a vent to as possible

wooden marten
#

i let montech do the airflow for me

#

fans came pre installed

silver sparrow
fair onyx
#

The real issue here is this case is not made to cool 780 watts of components at the same time. Its been doing quite good with only the two front fans and a back fan

wooden marten
#

must have been doing something right because even at gpu 80c the air coming out is cold

fair onyx
# silver sparrow

yeah, thats what I wanna try, and just see if I can minimize air leakage

wooden marten
#

actually that seems like a bad thing if its cold air

#

because where is the heat being transferred to

fair onyx
#

through a vent outside my window

silver sparrow
#

heat will natually rise, so it will just go out through the top

sour falcon
fair onyx
#

I am trying to minimize the heat impact in my room as much as I possibly can

sour falcon
#

Does thine fellow server members christen thine pc’s?

silver sparrow
fair onyx
#

Thats exactly what I said I wanted to try haha

sour falcon
#

We ball, pull an optimum

fair onyx
#

I think thats what I will go for

silver sparrow
#

tbh just tape over it with electrical tape

#

easy to remove

#

and matches for the most part the color of the case

#

and should last you for the summer until you start using the pc as a space heater

fair onyx
#

I am not worries about aesthetics, just economy honestly

silver sparrow
#

i just kinda cope with the heat

fair onyx
#

I am having to get a room AC installed soon, so I wanna try to get the heat out as much as possible

fair onyx
#

not an overstatement

silver sparrow
#

cause i have 2 pcs in this room, a 5600x and 5800x, with a 3070 and a 7900xtx, so im just doomed to bathe in heat

#

my pc alone is enough to like heat up a entire living room space in like a few hours

dusk knot
#

No cloths time

fair onyx
#

I am already starting to tune my GPU voltage curves, just to be ready for efficiency

sour falcon
fair onyx
#

here its like 110+ F in the summer, and we have insane UV radiation (11-13 most summer days), so windows and walls radiate heat as well

#

having a ~780 watt machine dumping heat into the room is not the vibe

silver sparrow
#

see what i end up doing is during the night time, i have a box fan at the window to get the entire room as low temp as possible, then in the morning, i close it off, and close the blinds to hold the low temps, which helps a ton

fair onyx
#

not counting my monitors, which is at least 120 more watts of heat

silver sparrow
#

what machine are you running?

#

like specs?

fair onyx
fair onyx
silver sparrow
#

wait 2 psu's?

#

oh what why 2 graphics cards

fair onyx
#

yeah, I already had one for the 3060tui, then I upgraded to the 3090, got the 850, then decided to use both GPU's

fair onyx
silver sparrow
#

oooo

fair onyx
#

One trains while the other validates, they pool VRAM for LLM weight distribution

#

its an insane super power, being able to train at max power and validate in real time on the 3060ti. My productivity is like 5x higher now

no more having to wait 13 hours to find out my training nuked

#

if I get another job, I have plans for an upgrade

#

the gigs pay absurdly well, but they are soooo volatile

silver sparrow
#

i just am a hvac apprentice, so like my pc isnt my job

fair onyx
#

mine IS haha

#

and my performance/efficiency is my income

#

It pays insanely well, if I can get the contracts locked down

#

the hard part is getting them

silver sparrow
#

wouldnt switching to a ryzen based system be better for you since power efficentcy seems to be something you want

fair onyx
#

The CPU is barely used honestly

#

this CPU is great, I love it

#

its only used for batch processes like image downsizing and bucket aspecting, which is like a few minutes at most

#

my poor 3090 sucks in the hot air directly from the butt of my 3060ti

#

and this bad boy gets hot even on its own, its just torture when its sucking in the 3060ti's heat as well

#

I was able to power limit to 80% on the 3090 and maintain 97% perf at least, thats helped a lot

#

my new monitor is a power hog too, but I can luckily use it at lower settings to maintain its longevity and save on heat

#

If I had another good paying gig, i would upgrade to a full tower, get 64GB more RAM, upgrade my mobo and buy a second 3090. That would be perfect

#

I would also need another 850 watt PSU

#

but dual 3090's, man that would be incredible for what I do

#

48GB VRAM, chef

#

and both GPU's for less than a used 4090 lmao

#

Trying to work on tuning local run LLM character cards for free so people can get away from using open AI and ChatGPT, in favor of local run, private and open source AI models that don't harvest endless amounts of data from you. Wanna deliver something extremely good and see if people support me monthly

#

oops, I killed the chat 😅

#

the thought of nearly 900 watts of just GPU tho... Thats alarming

sour falcon
#

Wayyy over my head

fair onyx
#

😅

#

TLDR, I am trying to find a way to save money on power/cooling until I can land a new contract to beef my PC more

sour falcon
#

Lmfao nice

sour falcon
#

Embrace the d u s t

fair onyx
#

then all the heat will dump directly into my room, which is already hot, and I will have to pay out the asssss to cool it down lmao

sweet phoenix
fair onyx
#

I don't think you realize how much and how fast 700 watts of heat will heat a less than 120Sqft room lmfao

sour falcon
#

I just like being dumb lol

fair onyx
#

at least you admit it haha. Hard to tell when people are being serious sometimes

sour falcon
fair onyx
#

I wonder how much a used A6000 goes for

#

I could have 72GB VRAM

sour falcon
#

Way too much

fair onyx
#

ah jesus, nevermind, yeah

sour falcon
#

Yeah, a lot

fair onyx
#

ok, so if I do the numbers, I would only hit my max power/draw when training/validating. In LLM inference and text chatting, it would use one of the GPU's a decent bit, while all others VRAM stream. If I set up auto-splits, it will use all of them at the same time, but the responses will be proportionally the same amount faster, so its really the same amount of energy in the end

#

if I limit all GPU's to the peak of their perf/efficiency curve, I could do some good stuff

sour falcon
#

I mean 3080’s aren’t bad rn (to my knowledge anyway)

fair onyx
#

I already know my 3090 is about 75% as performant at training at 50% power

sour falcon
fair onyx
#

I have a 3060ti, 3080, and 3090

#

the 3080 doesn't fit in, so 3060ti is in

#

been considering a 3060ti to 3060 move. 50% more VRAM, less power, smaller form factor if I can get one

fair onyx
#

8 to 12, 50% of 8 is 4, thats 50% more VRAM than the 3060ti

sweet phoenix
#

?

#

^^

sour falcon
#

?

#

Ohhhhh

#

Mh I had it weird

fair onyx
#

I think you were thinking of 30% less

sour falcon
#

A 30% increase

fair onyx
#

8 is 33% less than 12GB, but 12GB is 50% more than 8GB

sour falcon
#

Nvm I have no clue what I’m talking about lol

fair onyx
#

its fine lmao

sour falcon
#

I was thinking 16gb which would be 200% 😭

fair onyx
#

man, i would kill to be good at microsoldering. I would 100% increase the VRAM capacity on my 3090

sour falcon
#

No clue why I was putting that in there

sour falcon
#

like the 20gb 3080 and 16gb 3070ti

fair onyx
#

48GB 3090 would be my dream card

sour falcon
fair onyx
#

I was thinking maybe titan RTX, but its more than a 3090

#

3090 is price to performance to Ai capacity king

sour falcon
#

Not for whatever you’re doing lol, I like unreasonable numbers

sour falcon
fair onyx
#

chat with RTX is a super dumbed down version of what local Ai can really do. Let me record a demo and show you. Its incredible what the masses can run. I can run LLM's that are better than chat GPT3.5 (for select things) on my own hardware, with 100% control/privacy

@sour falconif you ever wanna set up any of these local run image or chat AI's, let me know. Always eager to get people to explore and support the scene of free and just/uncensored AI for the masses, rather than paying horrible multi-billion dollar companies like OpenAI/Microsoft/all of them

#

They are VERY easy to set up now

He does have a case, but hes kinda a clown, so its hard to take anything seriously

They WERE founded/funded off the idea that what they did was "open" to the public

now everything is closed down and kept to themselves, which is not what they were founded for, and hes mad that his $500m lead to this

#

I know I avoid everything they do like the plague because of it

sour falcon

Yeah no the public should not have access to sora.

I understand Ai helps people but there’s more bad people in this world than good

Should the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X be able to run most games above 165 fps at 1440p resolution? Is it considered a powerful CPU in 2024?

gentle canyon
#

if you want an am5 cpu for just gaming get the 7800x3d

#

literally the best gaming cpu rn for almost half the price of the highend amd cpus

harsh oak
#

If I have the GTX 4090, would that do the carrying over the 7950X as far as fps and intensive tasks?

gentle canyon
devout forum
#

How much is a 7950X3D?

harsh oak
#

I mean RTX 4090 lol yeah

gentle canyon
devout forum
#

I honestly don't think it's worth that much

gentle canyon
harsh oak
devout forum
#

7950X is better for video editing and so on
7800X3D is pure gaming

gentle canyon
devout forum
#

There is a tradeoff on the 3D V-cache

gentle canyon
#

7950x can also game no problem, but it has extra cores for those who need to use them

harsh oak
#

True, but will a 7950X still be enough?

wispy knot
gentle canyon
harsh oak
#

Yeah I honestly like the extra cores tbh

gentle canyon
#

like or need

wispy knot
#

7950X3D should only be considered if you're doing workstation tasks like heavy video editing

devout forum
harsh oak
#

I'd say like more or so

wispy knot
#

There's lots of bugs going with dual CCD Ryzen

harsh oak
wispy knot
#

Well, not lots but the few there are can matter

devout forum
#

I believe the 7950X3D has both the dual CCD bugs and the Vcache related limitations

wispy knot
#

Yes and yes

#

No overclocking which is appalling for a chip of that price

devout forum
#

Ikr?

harsh oak
#

Also....is it normal for these new CPUs to punch above 80C?

elfin mural

ehh

anyway yeah

#

am5 has thicc ihs

devout forum
elfin mural
#

it's made to fit am4 coolers

#

thus limiting cooling efficiency

devout forum
#

But it's fine just fine
It's designed to run that way

gentle canyon
elfin mural
#

but you only need a dual tower cooler

wispy knot
devout forum
#

I'm running a single tower on a 7600X and I'm getting full TDP even in stress tests (if only my case wasn't crap)

wispy knot
harsh oak
#

This might be a dumb question, but does a room temp below 21C help your pc cool or doesn't make any difference?

devout forum
#

It's linear normally

gentle canyon
devout forum
#

The measurement for benchmarks is °C over ambient after all

wispy knot
gentle canyon
#

have fun

devout forum
#

If you have 25°C ambient air and 85°C CPU temp under load
Ambient being 30°C would in theory make your chip 90°C

gentle canyon
#

it was used too wasnt it

devout forum
#

In theory

harsh oak
wispy knot
harsh oak
devout forum
#

But it's a constant

harsh oak
#

Ahhh ok

devout forum
#

Basically

wispy knot
#

2 degrees won't get you anything

harsh oak
#

Fair, that's very minimal

devout forum
#

You do a stress test
Take the CPU temp you get during it
And then subtract the room temp you had during the test

#

That's your temp delta

#

At least that's supposed to be the ScIeNtIfIc way

wispy knot
#

Ryzen 7000 is designed to boost even when it's at the max temp of 90/95C (depending on model) so if you're throttling at that limit then 2 degrees MAY get you another 100 points in a benchmark, but that's about the only edge case

devout forum
#

But realistically, if you get full performance the temps are almost meaningless

harsh oak
#

So a 19C room, a GTX 1060 with 50 C temps, and a Ryzen 1400 with 50C temps..

devout forum
#

Oh you'll get a LOT more heat kicked out with your new system

#

Especially since

Well

harsh oak

Yay

Not exactly

Not naming names but

That's not on you, you educated me

It's still not an awful rig
It's got a 4090 and a 16 core Ryzen

wispy knot
devout forum
#

And it's not even really overpriced for what you get
It's just a Dell

harsh oak
wispy knot

If you have the 7950X3D then that's one less thing to worry about because you can't overclock it

devout forum
#

Oh you won't risk OCing

Alienware mobos don't allow OC last I checked

Y'know

wispy knot

I'd not be overtly surprised if it runs below stock perf because the cooling is that bad

12gb VRAM means it'll be useful for a good while

Even 1440p is rare
4k even more so

No offense to 4k owners btw

Oh don't get me wrong 4k looks AMAZING

The real issue is that 4k displays are still expensive

harsh oak
wispy knot
#

Sure but on a GTX 1080, you were lucky to get 15 fps at 4k

harsh oak
wispy knot
#

My 750 ti can push 4k technically

devout forum
#

1440p GPU+monitor combos are starting to trickle down to where they're within reach for a lot of people, but right now 1080p is still the norm

harsh oak
#

Yeah and 1080p is the best for benchmarks

wispy knot
#

1080p benches are hilarious now, since AMD drivers have lower overhead the 7900 XTX beats the 4090 🙃

devout forum
#

Now once a 70 class or a 700 class card available for below 400 bucks can push 4k 60 fps reliably, and 4k monitors go down to ~500 bucks

Then 4k will RAPIDLY spread

#

Because it looks EPIC

harsh oak
wispy knot
#

If you have high enough end hardware 1080p is too easy

#

1080p is for CPU testing and low end GPUs now

devout forum
wispy knot
#

High end GPU, 4k data only
Mid-high, 1440p

wispy knot
devout forum
#

Or AMD/Intel to challenge the highest end competitively

wispy knot
#

GDDR7 isn't even going to do that, since Nvidia is using the lowest spec G7 to start with... which has the same density as G6X

#

So no, 48GB on a prosumer GPU will not be happening next gen

devout forum
#

It's probably gonna be the exact same as the 4090

wispy knot

Likely we'll see more 8GB models from Ngreedia

I may be wrong, but it seems NVIDIA has almost monopolized the GPU market, is that true?

devout forum
#

Not really

wispy knot
#

I've always had AMD CPUs and Nvidia GPUs. AMD was the budget CPU option with great overclocking headroom, and Nvidia was uncontested. Now AMD seems to be sweeping both categories.

devout forum
#

They have the ultra-high end locked down which basically means all influencers give free advertising to nGreedAI because "that's what Shroud uses" so they can flog off their garbage mid to low end for exorbitant prices when spending the same on AMD would get the gamer more

#

It's kind of a genius strategy if you think about it

#

Also engineers who do 3d modeling are basically forced to use nGreedAI because CUDA is proprietary and AMD can't compete there

wispy knot
#

Nvidia's gaming division posted losses year over year of 25% but every other division exploded thanks to AI

devout forum

Jensen literally told everyone that Nvidia's future is strictly in AI and that they don't give a rat's ass if gamers are screwed

wispy knot

"The future is AI"

devout forum

And yet everyone keeps spending exorbitant amounts of money for nGreedAI GPUs for gaming because
Actually idk why it makes no sense

Because the 4090 is still technically the best and they have the mindshare

harsh oak

To be fair

There was a long time when AMD graphics cards were hot garbage

You'll max that display out so hard

Should I max the settings to lower the burden on the Ryzen 7950X?

devout forum

The 7800X3D is the outright fastest gaming CPU right now and even that can BARELY avoid holding back a 4090 at 1440p

Nah you should get a 4k 144hz monitor
