@gritty forge why is Portugal McDonald's actually the best tasting I've ever had omg

[wind quail]

[paper verge]

let me see what other fans they have

i was thinking of getting that asus matx case the a620 or whatever

[mortal grail]

The a61?

Or whatever it is

It's not bad, generic matx tho

[paper verge]

the 1 fan mesh one

[paper verge]

i heard alot of good stuff about the case

[mortal grail]

Asus has done well with cases since ap201

AP201 is everywhere now

[paper verge]

oh woopsy that one

[mortal grail]

Ohhh

Yeah I simp it lol

Mesh version OP

[paper verge]

i can also get the ak400 digital for like double the price of the ag400

but i you think its overkill i wont

[mortal grail]

It's the same cooler

But with an lcd

I mean, deepcool digital I'm ok with tbh

You pay maybe $20 for a screen

Not 100 and get scammed

Heh "screen"

It's kinda also not a screen

More a 7 seg display

Looks good tho

About as nice as a 7 seg could

I’ve seen Costco prebuilts having better value

[gritty forge]

But I don't have the pass for Coimbra things, so I wouldn't know

[wind quail]

Idk, I don't eat sauces 😭

[wind quail]

It was so good

[velvet summit]

Literally just get some garlic cloves and a tub of mayo

Or for bonus health points, make your own mayo, it's very easy if you have a blender

And you can use less oil

[gritty forge]

In Portugal we have light mayo

[atomic current]

forget that

make your own blender

[gritty forge]

[velvet summit]

You took longer to 100% than me

It took me 33 hours approximately

[tranquil pebble]

yeah because a lot of the time the game was just frozen

[neat vine]

Should I buy thermal paste or should I be fine

[velvet summit]

For what? A new build?

[neat vine]

Yes

[velvet summit]

Also what cpu

[neat vine]

A ryzen 5

[velvet summit]

That doesn't say much but the stock thermal paste on whatever cooler you have should be enough

[neat vine]

Ok thank you was making sure it that was good enough

[misty sparrow]

if you're planning on getting another cooler you need to buy thermal paste, otherwise just use the one that's in the box

[devout forum]

it's funny that the PS5 Pro is probably gonna use Zen 2 CPU cores with the sort of graphics power it's rumored to have

[crude wolf]

aint the zen 2 cores last generation of AMD cores

[rancid juniper]

ikr, and also 8k support or whatever

WHO IS USING 8K???

[velvet summit]

how many beds for $1.2k
also does that include utilities or nah

[rancid juniper]

🗿

[devout forum]

It's like 5 year old tech by now

[rancid juniper]

i really think the cpu is gonna hold the gpu back and will not go full usage

[empty tide]

Linus tech tips?

[devout forum]

We're right on the CUSP of the 8k revolution dw about it

It's probably native 4k upscaled anyway

[median frigate]

1bed 1 bth full kitchen and internet and electric bill

[velvet summit]

hmm

yeah that seems about normal for rent lmao

[rancid juniper]

💀

[empty tide]

I dunno my PC can barely handle warzone at 1440p so its nowhere near 8k

[rancid juniper]

the ps5 pro is gonna be like a 7700xt

[crude wolf]

how much you paid for it?

[rancid juniper]

there is no way a 7700xt can run games at 8k

[velvet summit]

i've seen single bedroom apartments here for like $900/m with nothing included asides from a stove and fridge

[rancid juniper]

maybe 8k playback yes

but not games

[devout forum]

I mean a 7700 XT perf for less than 1k is still pretty good

[velvet summit]

who the hell gaming on 8k

[sinful blade]

Ur mom

[rancid juniper]

[crude wolf]

my laptop probably has a 7700 xt

[empty tide]

if it can do 4k60 it probably can only do like 8k15

[crude wolf]

they using old architecture on the ps5 and tryna roll out 8k gaming

[rancid juniper]

8k 15 is a miracle at best

Don't get me wrong, a 6800 XT-tier performance console would be amazing for current PS5 pricing

But it'll probably be more like a grand MSRP, 1500 scalped when it comes out

[crude wolf]

anyone saw the nvidia GTC?

[velvet summit]

even for 20 years in the future, i dont really see anything higher than 4k to be needed for gaming

[rancid juniper]

ill read later

that isnt a reason to go higher than 4k though lmao

[devout forum]

not even the 4090 is reliably capable of it in more demanding games

[unreal trail]

hunting chimeras

[devout forum]

this feels so overblown...

There is absolutely no way 4k120 native is possible

[unreal trail]

1440 is perfectly acceptable. 4k isn't even necessary right now.

[devout forum]

MAYBE 1440p 120 upscaled

MAYBE

but it can't be native 4k

[crude wolf]

Linus wasting 100k on a pc and 95% of that was purely decorations and stuff

[velvet summit]

outside of vr headsets, and very big screens, regular tvs or pc monitors dont need anything higher than 4k res

[velvet summit]

tbf the higher end you get, the harder it is to actually spend money

consumer hardware kinda caps out at like, $5k

[crude wolf]

Idk if the supercomputers are only exclusive to nasa or it can be bought

[velvet summit]

i can easily spend $100k on actual hardware, but that would be enterprise grade and not very cool for videos

[devout forum]

that ENTIRE DESK was machined from one single billet

[velvet summit]

they're made to order

[sour falcon]

I’m 100% saying this is from Sheetz

[velvet summit]

also supercomputers suck at gaming

[devout forum]

Getting that desk machined costs thousands

then the very one of a kind watercooling gear they had to custom order for it

[velvet summit]

a $5k gaming pc will be able to run games alot better than supercomputers of $100m

then that'll catch up to them

[crude wolf]

My teachers scrolling on their phone

For 99% for the duration of the test

[velvet summit]

using convenient tools is useful, but you should at least learn and understand the concepts before using them tbh

[tranquil pebble]

or... use the tools to help you learn

[mighty hazel]

I mean if they’re learning how to do it it’s not that bad

[velvet summit]

honestly, you should probably prefer a lower grade than cheating

i have no clue how they made it past high school

im looking at the LE300 rn

no

aios do not magically cool your pc better

if you really need a bunch of cooling, get like literally any dual tower cooler

more points of failure for literally no benefit

so ak500 over it?\

i mean felix told me its gonna be kinda overkill anyways

but i want it to be quite cold cause the weather here is gonna get really hot aswell dont want this cpu flying

That's the CPU/GPU

R5 7600X is the CPU
6700 XT is the GPU

[atomic current]

I'll steam your key

[crude wolf]

ok

[crude wolf]

how much FPS you get on fortnite?

[devout forum]

Hell if I know, never played it

At all

[idle nexus]

bro I installed this EK thing & now I'm getting 55 POST code when Slot A is populated ("Memory not installed"). I cleaned out the heckin DIMM slot with compressed air cuz it looked like there was a little bit of thermal paste in there but still won't POST. only Slot B populated POSTs... gonna check to see if any pins in the socket are bent & reseat the block but heck

I tried my usual 2x24gb A-die set & some 1x8gb M-die I never shoul've bought lol

[devout forum]

Does it work without that "EK thing" whatever that is?

[idle nexus]

DELL OEM FTW

[idle nexus]

ya I was trying to give EK's direct die block another chance to not be awful

it worked before I put it on with heatkiller iv pro

[devout forum]

(IDK what you got so I'm just like "Can it cause the problem?")

Oh direct die

That's always hairy

I'd honestly not dare doing it

[idle nexus]

the stupid direct die comes with the cold plate looking like this

[devout forum]

100% would destroy my CPU trying to delid

[idle nexus]

so I used one of those nail buffer things to make it look like this lol

[devout forum]

Salutes to y'all crazies who can do it

I'd never dare to go for it

(I'm stuck at an air-cooling peasant lmao)

[idle nexus]

lol direct die cooling was the best thing that ever happened to my 10900K

[crude wolf]

A socket cover?

[idle nexus]

& it's great on my 12900K but eh

11600K I ripped off some SMDs & killed it trying to direct die

[devout forum]

I mean 12th/13th gen/13+ gen i9s kinda demand direct die don't they?

[idle nexus]

& 13900KS delid went fine but I've been using it with the IHS anyway cuz this EK thing is trash

[devout forum]

Since they're just so hard to cool at unlim boost

[mortal grail]

what does lm contact look like

[crude wolf]

i wonder if it good for the cpu

[devout forum]

Seriously what was Intel thinking?...

[idle nexus]

I used one of these things. the EK direct die has its own frame built in

[devout forum]

400 watts for a consumer CPU is insane
Unironically can reach a thousand watts from the wall with a higher-end 4090

[idle nexus]

it was good enough that where I didn't put a little on the cold plate showed after my first mount (like it outlined where the LM was on the die)

believe it or not, if you turn off Asus's "multicore enhancement" and enable all of Intel's power limits, I only hit 91C after 10 minutes of R23

which is still hot but not terrible since you're not likely to see R23 type loads gaming

[devout forum]

With or without direct die?

[idle nexus]

with Intel's PLs enabled R23 stayed around 315w the whole time

[crude wolf]

Idk what is a die is again

[idle nexus]

without

[idle nexus]

it's the thing under the heatspreader

[devout forum]

I mean that's pretty good
It's still insane amount of power but it's at least mostly contained

[idle nexus]

dis

[devout forum]

300 watts through the socket is crazy

That's more power than my entire PC draws on the CPU alone
Holy crap

That's honestly kinda dumb

Like yeah "Fastest CPU on the market" and all that but like

That's frankly a stupid amount of power for like barely more points on a benchmark

[idle nexus]

lol hwbot be like that

but ya, I guess I'm partial to Intel cuz the memory OC is a lot more fun to me but I couldn't really recommend someone drop $700+ on 14900KS just to barely beat 7800x3d sometimes

[devout forum]

Or am I looking at this the wrong way?

[idle nexus]

I think you're looking at it from the perspective of like 98% of people buying a CPU for gamers at least

[devout forum]

Cuz I'm kinda obsessed with FPS/$

Also known as
Being a massive cheapskate

[idle nexus]

& if you need a ton of threads for professional workstation, seems like 7950x makes more sense if you're not gonna go to the next level with Threadripper or something

[devout forum]

Also power is like

STUPID EXPENSIVE for us

[idle nexus]

well that's a MAJOR factor

[devout forum]

Yeah a thousand watts peak power is a lot

[idle nexus]

like here in Florida, USA, I think we're still around $.10-.15 per kwh so we don't have to worry as much

[devout forum]

Even in games it's like 600 watts on CPU+GPU with a 900K tier CPU + OC 4090 right?

Like a 13900K and a 4090 likely does draw over 600 quite regularly

I can't imagine the amount of heat those things must be kicking out when in real use

[idle nexus]

but in like Europe, California, & other places where the per kwh is expensive enough that the difference in power consumption has a noticeable effect on your power bill, it makes sense to try to mitigate power consumption

lol I think the most power I've drawn on my 4090 was like 743w or something

[devout forum]

Sweet mother of Christ

That is
Pushing it

IIRC you're not supposed to draw more than 675 total on a 4090?

Cuz 12VHPWR spec

[idle nexus]

Galax lets you override driver voltage limits

[devout forum]

Plus the 75 from the slot

[idle nexus]

& has two 12vhpwr connections

[devout forum]

Oh that explains it

I wonder tho

Can you get away with a 4090 on a 650

[idle nexus]

lol without a PSU with 2x 12vhpwr it looks so ridiculous using 8 PCIe 6+2s

derp

[devout forum]

I'd think if you limit it to 450 watt 12vhpwr cable
You can probably get by on a 650

[idle nexus]

I actually zip tied them nicely this time before it was chaos

[wooden marten]

@mortal grail is this true?

is my gpu cooked

[idle nexus]

I hate that metal bracket

[devout forum]

I mean yeah you'd not get full perf but
525w for a 4090 would still give you a ton of performance right?

[idle nexus]

my bitspower block contact is so mediocre cuz that bracket sucks

[idle nexus]

ya that's just fine unless you're doing stupid hwbot things like I attempt to

[devout forum]

So technically
I can upgrade to a 4090 with my current PSU

That's a crazy thought

[wooden marten]

If this gpu cant be fixed im getting a 6700xt

[devout forum]

Though the 7600X would probably not be very happy

[idle nexus]

[wooden marten]

I should have gotten it in the first place tbh

[devout forum]

Did you manage to break any records with it?

[idle nexus]

lol nah the LN2 people are untouchable tbh

unless you're using LN2 or at least like chilled water

but if you're not sub-ambient, you're not gonna beat them

best I got was 22nd overall https://hwbot.org/submission/5489049_ggood003_gpupi_v3.3___32b_geforce_rtx_4090_57sec_174ms

[devout forum]

That's still top 30

Actually top 25

That's still incredibly inpressive

[idle nexus]

thanks. Hopefully I can get in like top 50 worldwide someday

got a way's to go lol

[idle nexus]

This looks okay to you?

kinda concerned about the bottom right a little but the picture doesn't really capture the difference in the way the light hits it

[atomic current]

send it

[idle nexus]

really hard to caputure hold on lol

best I could do

barely heckin shows it

it's like barely a few degrees if not just the way the light hits it anyway

gonna try mounting again but like just enough to be snug instead of tight

hmm maybe I should use the rubber gasket I have in case the sticker on the backplate is grounding out

or maybe just add some tape over it

hard to imagine that'd kill a memory channel tho... I dunno

[wary fjord]

you bent it?

[idle nexus]

not sure

YEAHHHHHH

[sinful blade]

All for FREE BABYYYYY

[rancid juniper]

finally

7900 GRE FIX???

[sinful blade]

@sour falcon all I did was send in an email saying that someone didn’t put any mozz sticks in my premium sampler

Then they gave me 2 courtesy MTO items

Which apparently you can just stack everything into it
I put mozz and cheesey bites on the side(didn’t cost more)
I put double tenders(didn’t cost more)
I put whatever I want on them and it was STILL FREE

I chose the tender sandwich cuz it’s goooood

[sour falcon]

I’ve never really delved into their assortion of foods ngl

I’ve had the like tatertot things

[wooden marten]

Can i use paper towels w alcohol to clean off thermal paste

[rancid juniper]

yes ive done that countless times

no issue

[wooden marten]

do i get rid of the thermal paste around the contact plate?

[sinful blade]

It’s amazing food

[rancid juniper]

yes

[wooden marten]

It just doesn’t come off at all

It is just completely stuck on there

[rancid juniper]

wtf

scrub it harder with alcohol

lol

[wooden marten]

the paste on the plates come off fine

its this that doesn’t come off

[rancid juniper]

whoa whoa

what is this?

[wooden marten]

idk it was there when i opened it

[rancid juniper]

you dont need to worry about those only the plate

[wooden marten]

Ok

how do i get rid of the paste around the chip

do i just wipe it off normally

bc i dont want to damage anything

[rancid juniper]

just wipe it off gently

no harm in doing so

did you watch the video i sent you the other day?

[wary fjord]

the hell is that looks incomplete

[rancid juniper]

Some indie game I played months back

[wooden marten]

@rancid juniper

help

[rancid juniper]

It's a bit much but I guess its fine

[wooden marten]

oh

could i use a flathead screwdriver to spread it

[rancid juniper]

However if you ever open it up again someday it will look like a mess

[icy ore]

https://tenor.com/view/noo-toy-story-buzz-lightyear-gif-14664723

[rancid juniper]

No you don't have to use a screwdriver to spread it

[wooden marten]

so what do i use then

[worthy meteor]

Anything flat and you don't mind getting dirty

[wary fjord]

the pc evolved to noctua

[wooden marten]

so a screwdriver?

[worthy meteor]

Screwdriver seems tedious but you could try ig?

[wooden marten]

could i use this?

like the edge

[sour falcon]

Though that was a curved nvme in the background ngl

[rancid juniper]

Did the mx-6 not come with a spatula?

[wooden marten]

no

[sour falcon]

Interesting

[rancid juniper]

._.

[sour falcon]

Spatula got yoinked

@sinful blade w sheetz as always

[rancid juniper]

Oh

[wooden marten]

there

that good?

ill assume it is

[proud jackal]

[gleaming rivet]

Sheesh. I'm really glad you didn't use a screwdriver. Best not to use something that can scratch the die.

[mortal grail]

he's actually absolutely right. the thought never occurred to me until I saw that, I thought it was a separate piece (I've not taken one of these apart myself before)

that said

for you to be able to take that off by hand

is in itself 2 big problems

I really have to ask, was it hard trying to pry off the heatsink?

it kinda looks like it was brazed together but I'm not sure

using a thin filament run around the plate and then melted when up to heat

melted and spread

you could probably take that heatsink to a welder and they'll reattach it together, you'd have to specify you need it to be as thin of a run as possible and hopefully super accurate on the location of it, maybe even scraping off the old filament

would require taking the fans and shroud off the sink

[mortal grail]

lmao

[mortal grail]

perfectly fine, slight pin angle offset won't really do anything

[wooden marten]

well idle temps seem cooler

used to run 50c now its 33

[mortal grail]

if you're gonna stress it, carefully

CAREFULLY

apply a gradual load

start with like 5%

that dude was right, the fact that plate is both not integral to the sink and the 4 point fasten is concerning

in one sense you are technically gravity mounting rn

I'd carefully monitor temps in 5% increments so I can be sure I wasn't breaking anything

cos if the gpu goes under load with no heatsink it can kill it

[wooden marten]

Idk if it worked well tbh

its at 78c under load

its not throttling but its not as cool as i hoped

[velvet summit]

thermal pad residue prob

[mortal grail]

78C would be arguably ok but keep monitoring

[mortal grail]

it's filament

[wooden marten]

it goes to 79 occasionally

[mortal grail]

79 still fine

throttle for ampere is 83

anything under is within spec

[rancid juniper]

hopefully it stays at 79

[rancid juniper]

i thought it was dust but then realized its not it

[unreal trail]

so Im probably about halfway through FF7 Rebirb

[wooden marten]

it’s disappointing though

I thought it would have worked better

[mortal grail]

my 3080 ran at 81

[wooden marten]

thats also much more power hungry

[rancid juniper]

it could just be how the heatsink is made

[mortal grail]

yes and also 4x the heatsink

3 or 4x

it wasn't a small card

[rancid juniper]

there are other aib designs that are overkill af to the point where the gpu remains chill af

[unreal trail]

Combat system is fine, but too much forced minigames to progress. Assets clash, you can tell Squenix outsourced asset creation to multiple studios.

[mortal grail]

it's tiny

[rancid juniper]

that explains it

lol

not much thermal paste can do even with proper contact

[wooden marten]

ill monitor it some more

[unreal trail]

Even animation quality clashes. Some is mocapped and some has been keyframed by smaller studios

[mortal grail]

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/zotac-geforce-rtx-3060-ti-twin-edge/images/cooler2.jpg

[north crescent]

When in doubt, zip ties ||/s||

[wooden marten]

if it goes back to 82 82c then its cooked

[rancid juniper]

next is undervolting

if that happens

[mortal grail]

this is where it gets concerning

[wooden marten]

Honestly i might just sell it

[mortal grail]

see the 4 screw holes in the middle

[wooden marten]

get a 6700xt

[unreal trail]

I'm currently trying to rizz Tifa

[rancid juniper]

not a bad choice 😏

[wooden marten]

same price I got the 3060ti for

[mortal grail]

that whole plate has come off with the screw holes

[unreal trail]

Cait Sith is annoying, should have been deleted

[mortal grail]

so the cooler has no way of forcing itself onto the die

[rancid juniper]

is it true that if you overtighten it, temps may get worse?

[mortal grail]

no consequence

[unreal trail]

Gongaga is an absolute mess of random directions trying to make it seem like a dense jungle

[mortal grail]

he can't overtighten what isn't technically joined anymore

[north crescent]

Thermal adhesive + 420 tons pressing the midplate to the heatsink (for curing) could make heatsink viable no? @mortal grail

[rancid juniper]

oh

[mortal grail]

yes but not a truly reliable solution

the best way is brazing

[unreal trail]

The Gold Saucer is missing the snowboard minigame

[mortal grail]

it's what they used prior from what I can tell

[unreal trail]

most of the rewards for the minigames are garbo, not worth the trouble

[mortal grail]

metalworker with filament and some patience could fix it for $50

[rancid juniper]

i managed to powerlimit my gpu but clocked it high enough to run faster than stock

[mortal grail]

i.e an hour of their time

[rancid juniper]

ik my gpu's heatsink aint the best around

compared to other aibs

[unreal trail]

:chatting:

I am also playing in Graphics mode for a smooth 30 FPS clear visuals

I've seen some zotac moments before

this is up there ngl

the fact you could pull that apart by hand is stunning

what

how would undervolting get more fps

[rancid juniper]

@mortal grail

[mortal grail]

less power used to hit the same performance > cooler & more power headroom > more nyoom

but comments are saying it works

so ill give it a try

[idle nexus]

I think I finally found a a decent mounting pressure that's tight enough to keep C2 down to 88C in R23 but loose enough that I don't lose DIMM slot A

Core Delta (max temp) from C2 to next hottest Pcore (C6) 2C rn

[mortal grail]

is it better tho

[idle nexus]

pretty decent & better than Heatkiller

I'll send you screenshots in like 4 minutes when this R23 10-minute run ends

[mortal grail]

should be more like, 70's tbh

[wooden marten]

I need to have the benchmark running?

[mortal grail]

to undervolt? yes

I recommend Warzone

pretty reliable

[idle nexus]

at 304w?

[mortal grail]

at stock iirc yeah

it's a start though

[idle nexus]

ambient is like 23C ish

maybe 21-22

[mortal grail]

400+ you'd be 90's

[idle nexus]

vCore is 1.243v

my KS sucks

[mortal grail]

try not to do too many cinebench cycles btw

don't want to degrade the chip

[idle nexus]

lol I think that ship may already have sailed

[mortal grail]

or maybe you do

idk

lmao

[idle nexus]

C2 wasn't this garbage before iirc

doesn't wanna hit 59x anymore

[wooden marten]

Im using the war thunder one

[idle nexus]

you could use Furmark 2.0

[mortal grail]

2.0 kinda wild

idk if I would

on a gpu where the cooler isn't truthfully secured to the die idk

maybe with a zip tie or two

would look jank tho

[idle nexus]

eh can you see these or Discord compression borks it?

Heatkiller

EK Direct Derp

[mortal grail]

so 3C better than with an ihs

🗿

tbf at least it's working now

[idle nexus]

TLDR

[mortal grail]

41K is pretty good actually

maybe it is working the right way now and I'm just stupid

you can count on me being reliably stupid more than the cooler working

[idle nexus]

3C compared to IHS on is a little pathetic lol

[mortal grail]

happens a lot, lol

it is lol

but it is at least working

[idle nexus]

but I did lap IHS

& put LM on die & IHS

[mortal grail]

additionally too, you've gotten to a point where you can cure the copper as well

if I'm not mistaken, over time that temp will improve

[idle nexus]

ya it's gonna need more LM in like a month lol

[unreal trail]

The sound design in Tears of the Kingdom is also incredibly complex. Osada explained that the world contains voxel information to create a 3D terrain. Voxels are data points on a 3D grid that store information. In Zelda, each voxel sources information about the terrain, like if it's inside or outside, near water, near a forest, if Ascend is possible, and more. A search algorithm determines how sound interacts with the voxels, like sound changing when an object is behind a wall.

Just like the design philosophy for the rest of the game, sounds in Tears of the Kingdom play in a system without dedicated implemenation, and in some cases abstract sounds combine to create something entirely new. For example, there is no dedicated wagon sound or paddle boat sound, these sounds are created by the wheels rolling or rotating on the water, with the quality changing based on the size, shape, and material. Osada said, "It’s making sounds that I have no memory of creating! Even the director told us, 'This is basically a physics engine for sound, isn’t it?'”

kinda crazy

[wooden marten]

There’s something wrong with it

I havent even changed it yet but temps stay around 81 to 82c

and the fans are extremely loud

with a whining sound

[unreal trail]

They could have just used sounds already made and used time for things people were asking for

like better dungeons

[wooden marten]

the gpus done for I feel like

[mortal grail]

zip ties

the answer to almost all pc problems

[wooden marten]

zip tie what?

[mortal grail]

the cooler to the pcb

across the middle

might improve things, if you don't want to braze it

[crude wolf]

wussup chat

[wooden marten]

So just zip tie the whole the plastic fan portion to the pcb board?

[idle nexus]

wait so what's wrong here? the stock cooler won't make good contact?

[mortal grail]

ye

[idle nexus]

what up

[wooden marten]

I guess not

[idle nexus]

are those stock pads for memory?

[wooden marten]

I repasted it but temps remain around 82c

[crude wolf]

Dont zip tie it

get a replacement

[wooden marten]

Im really tempted to ngl

[crude wolf]

or look if there is a bent pin on the socket

[idle nexus]

the thermal pads I mean

[wooden marten]

sell this piece of trash and get a 6700xt

[mortal grail]

bit difficult to rma if he's opened it lol

[wooden marten]

zotac just straight up scammed me

[crude wolf]

What cpu you got

[wooden marten]

gave me a defective card

[idle nexus]

my bitspower 4090 block was seeing hotspot at 110C even tho GPU was like 49C

[dusk knot]

Yowza

[mortal grail]

that's just bad contact

lol

[idle nexus]

I replaced the 1mm thermal pads with .5mm pads & now it's chillin

[mortal grail]

yeah there you go

[idle nexus]

ya LM can be derp sometimes

the 1mm pads came already installed on the bitspower block too

[dusk knot]

Thinner pads are better?

[idle nexus]

not necessarily but they let the cold plate get closer to the GPU die

[mortal grail]

it's a small heatsink on this zotac, I think honestly there are lower tier cards than this with a bigger sink

[dusk knot]

Makes sense.....

[mortal grail]

closer means better chance of die contact

[idle nexus]

I got a super cheap Alphacool block for my 2080ti & with KP vBIOS it was hitting 100C (no PL)

I reduced the 1.5mm pads to 1.0 & it's chillin as heck

[crude wolf]

the thermal pads are the problem?

do they just not dissipate the heat if they are thicker?

[idle nexus]

I feel like everyone negelects to mention how hard it is to get good contact with liquid metal lol

[mortal grail]

he took the heatsink off and the sink literally split in half

[dusk knot]

I'm not dumb. It's just the amount of padding to dissipate heat is less. 💀

[idle nexus]

well if all pads are 1mm & you reduce them all to .5mm, theoretically the coldplate of the cooler can get .5mm closer to the GPU die

[mortal grail]

yes but the memory is still fine in the process

I do the same thing as ggood but I use k5 pro

I don't have to think as a result

[dusk knot]

Kewl

The more you know

Why we have techies

God bless you

XD

[idle nexus]

everything is supposed to fit together really close. Thermal paste is usually thicker so can make up (a little) for the larger gap between the cold plate & the GPU die. When you put LM it's really thin so cold plate basically has to be able to touch the GPU die

[mortal grail]

I mean even in normal situations with just paste

the thermal pads might be too thick, stiff, not applied properly etc

look at evga

[dusk knot]

Oh boy. Me and my 86c core temps

[idle nexus]

ya even different thermal pads that are both 1mm thick have different levels of how much you can squish them lol

[mortal grail]

I like squish

[idle nexus]

lol yes makes my life easier too

[mortal grail]

everything in life is better with squish

[wooden marten]

Would it be worth $220?

even w the cooling issues

[mortal grail]

possible

not sure

[wooden marten]

$200 would be more likely?

[mortal grail]

honestly not that sure

[wooden marten]

Not even worth $200? 😭😭

[mortal grail]

it's definitely worth somewhere around 250-ish repaired

I think a metalworker would make light work of the problem

[rancid juniper]

you probably might have a better chance selling at mercari than ebay

[idle nexus]

there's this thing I heard about. Never used it tho https://www.jawa.gg/

[rancid juniper]

used it once

trash

[idle nexus]

heck nvm

[wooden marten]

Its not really repaired though

temps are still bad

[rancid juniper]

you attempted the undervolt right?

[idle nexus]

ooo

that's not the point lmao

[rancid juniper]

its possible to catch a buyer around $250 i guess @wooden marten

[mortal grail]

I'm not saying it's repaired I'm saying the coldplate is broken

[mortal grail]

it's not mounting properly

cos the heatsink was ripped in half when you took it apart

[rancid juniper]

980ti price lookin nice but there care be rx 580's going for that too

😳

[wooden marten]

but those are presumably in good condition

[idle nexus]

get a waterblock lol

[wooden marten]

I would have to sell mine as cooling issues

I could say freshly repasted

maybe that would up the value ig

[rancid juniper]

dang

[idle nexus]

nvm gpu blocks are still dumb expensive for 30 series

maybe swap with this cooler? https://www.ebay.com/itm/166657838607?

[mortal grail]

that's a brilliant idea

[rancid juniper]

bids...

🗿

[idle nexus]

3 days from now it'll probably be like $100 tho I dunno. People can fix these must make a killing lol

[mortal grail]

yeah but he could then just sell the broken asf card for whatever price

[wooden marten]

Ill try $200

[mortal grail]

and use the working heatsink

[idle nexus]

oh ya true lol

[wooden marten]

Im sure someone could fix it

Its just the bracket that broke off

[mortal grail]

i'd swap the cooler tbh

[wooden marten]

Other than that its in good condition

[mortal grail]

if you got that for like, $30, you'd make your money back

[rancid juniper]

NON WORKING

[wooden marten]

The card does work though

[crude wolf]

sadd

[wooden marten]

its just its temps are really high because of the broken bracket

[rancid juniper]

a broken bracket caused high temps?

huh, the more you know

[wooden marten]

because the heatsink cant make proper contact with the chip

[mortal grail]

broken mount actually

[rancid juniper]

^^^

[mortal grail]

the 4 point screws around the die broke off with the separate plate

[rancid juniper]

RIP

[wooden marten]

Do u think I could take it to microcenter or best buy and they could fix it?

[mortal grail]

I've been saying take it to a metalworker to fix

maybe a microcenter has a broken 3060 ti trinity

who knows lmao

[wooden marten]

where do I find a metalworker

village?

[mortal grail]

any welder could do it

[wooden marten]

[mortal grail]
