that embed is something to behold

[sinful blade]

Someone can’t write an embed description to save their life

[atomic current]

huh

[sinful blade]

this gets so wack

[mortal grail]

why is the best option $40 more than the worst option and 3000x better

[sinful blade]

bruh

[north crescent]

Isnt 5500 like 3600x perf?

[sinful blade]

You can get all that for like $600 on your own

Periphs included

@atomic current look at the specs towards the middle of the page

600w bronze rates PSU

[atomic current]

I don't see 1600

[sinful blade]

Base option

[atomic current]

1700

[sinful blade]

Oh wait it is 1700

[north crescent]

That almost looks to technically follow used market pricing, which is kinda insane for new upgrade picker.

[atomic current]

the base price of the non-upgraded computer is 800

[north crescent]

Hence "technically"

[atomic current]

idk if you can really extrapolate the price they put on each individual base part

[wooden marten]

Yes starfield at 144fps with a 580

[sinful blade]

I actually just sent them an email explaining some things they’ve wrongly stated on their website

[wooden marten]

You just gotta go into game files and disable all textures and lighting

They aren’t lying

[sinful blade]

https://tenor.com/view/uh-huh-sure-gif-18089735

Isn’t starfield still terribly optimized

[wooden marten]

Its bethesda

[mortal grail]

Ye

[atomic current]

star field is when you harvest seeds from space and plant them on your farm

[wooden marten]

That should answer your question

[mortal grail]

I mean yeah ok it's not really the best but also that's not a great selection

[sinful blade]

Oh by the traveler
I’ve found the worst possible pc maker

Rentacenter

[atomic current]

sounds about right

[atomic current]

they're the worst anything

[sinful blade]

Holy mother of ripoff

[atomic current]

I love radeon graphics card

[wooden marten]

I think the award for worst game optimization goes to scp secret laboratory though

[sinful blade]

Meanwhile in bestbuy

Same exact pc

For $2000 less

[wooden marten]

My friend with an Rtx 4070ti and 13900k gets frame drops to 48 often

[atomic current]

oh wait is it just the 5600g igpu

[wooden marten]

And its not crazy graphics by any means

[sinful blade]

Yes lmao

[atomic current]

lol

it's hard to tell but from the thumbnail it looks like it has something in the slot

not much but something

[granite estuary]

Hi

[sinful blade]

I can’t tell

[granite estuary]

Anyone know any good mice similar to the gpro superlight

[sinful blade]

#peripherals-and-displays might have some suggestions

[granite estuary]

I have the pulsar x2h mini now I love it but got sticky clicks...

so have to return

which is unfortunate because I love it

[sinful blade]

I just use this

[granite estuary]

Fair

[sinful blade]

Cheap, light, easy to replace

[granite estuary]

Thought I'd get a more expensive mouse because why not

[sinful blade]

Mice are a lot of personal preference

[granite estuary]

yeah, I just wanted wireless

and most of the wireless are more expensive

[wary fjord]

not really if u buy offbrand

[sinful blade]

I can’t do wireless myself
Always gotta have a wire

[granite estuary]

fair

[sinful blade]

Have tomie pick you out one

Tomie is smart

[granite estuary]

my old mouse which is still working is the Aerox 3 wired

but after using this new one I hate how the side buttons feel and even though the actual clicks work when the Pulsar's is actually working it feels way nicer

[wary fjord]

dont worry about off brand look for hardware they use

switches

and sensor

lod distance

and the shape

[granite estuary]

PAW3395 sensor

[sinful blade]

yuck

[atomic current]

I had to find it myself

[sinful blade]

It is truly garbage

Isn’t it

[wary fjord]

i have two vt9 pro mouse.. one is air that cost 35 bucks in asia

4k wireless 8k wired
PAW3398 sensor
26k dpi
59 grams

[granite estuary]

not sure what that is

[atomic current]

this is the "Specifications & Manual"

[sinful blade]

energy star certified no

LMAO

[wary fjord]

anything below 1tb on nvme i feel its a waste xD might aswell put that on sata ssd xD

[grand kernel]

just saw a pic of someone's build with a 120mm aio on a 14900k

[wary fjord]

the storage so small

[grand kernel]

oof

[wary fjord]

nvme slot are so limited

and u gonna put 500 on it

xD

sata has what

6 slot

[atomic current]

4 to 6 usually

[wary fjord]

yeah sometimes two are disabled

when nvme are in used

[sinful blade]

We’ve been bullying pre-builts for a few minutes

[grand kernel]

500gb nvmes made sense when 1tb was actually still pretty expensive but yeah these days no reason to buy them anymore

I remember when my open box 1tb for $125 was a really good deal

[sinful blade]

I wish prebuilts were still complete booty cheeks

[grand kernel]

why?

[sinful blade]

Werent****

[grand kernel]

ah okay

[atomic current]

for me, unless it's used, 2tb minimum makes sense

[sinful blade]

I want pc gaming to be more affordable and open to people

[velvet summit]

couldnt you just say the name, why did you grab it from pcpp

lmfao

[sinful blade]

I have ss of all my parts

Just in case I forget

[velvet summit]

why

💀

[wary fjord]

yeah 2tb is fine for nvme ,, i view nvme is like a nos in need for speed

xD

[velvet summit]

how

[atomic current]

I use redragon m711

not bad

[wary fjord]

eyy redragon is quite cool

[atomic current]

my boot drive is a 970 evo I think

[sinful blade]

[sinful blade]

Never

[grand kernel]

some people actually want prebuilts to all be terrible because they want to gatekeep the hobby to people who build and it's so weird to me

[sinful blade]

We shouldn’t be gatekeeping the world of computers

[grand kernel]

did you build your own car?

[sinful blade]

No

So why should I gate keep having my own car

[wary fjord]

demonmit prebuilts are nice

[sinful blade]

Link it

I’ll check em out

[grand kernel]

tfw I'm using a prebuilt body

[grand kernel]

yeah but it can get annoying when people start dming you about stuff that's barely related/unrelated

like someone was dming me freaking out about how to restore a chrome session cause apparently she needs it to remember 100 tabs

and I'm just here like

[atomic current]

that's what friends do when they want to talk to you

[grand kernel]

I haven't used chrome in 10 years not much I can do for you

[atomic current]

they talk to you about stuff unrelated to their computers

[grand kernel]

💀

I mean like specifically asking for tech help because "you're the tech guy" but it's some random software issue

[atomic current]

lol

[grand kernel]

she sent 37 dms about her chrome tabs at 2am 💀

[atomic current]

they just need help learning how to keep tabs open for the next time they open the app

lol

[grand kernel]

I don't know how to do that

they can search it up just as well as I can

[atomic current]

you don't know how either? damn

[north crescent]

ctrl+shift+t is pretty universal afaik

[grand kernel]

I don't use chrome lol

[north crescent]

Yeah but that works in everything no?

[atomic current]

just go to the browser settings and enable it

[grand kernel]

I mean how would I know if I don't have chrome installed

[atomic current]

ezpz

[grand kernel]

I'm not gonna give speculative advice

[grand kernel]

nah like she was using the setting before but it stopped working

[atomic current]

HUH

chrome must be broken

https://tenor.com/view/chrome-chrome-eye-google-eye-vegas-eye-eye-gif-21202599

[sour falcon]

Rah

[grand kernel]

the answer was that when her husband installed a new gpu in the pc he changed the browser profile when installing drivers

she found that out herself

[atomic current]

pluh

[grand kernel]

dunno how long that would have taken me to troubleshoot if I tried lmao

[sour falcon]

Does opera GX glitch out for you guys?

[grand kernel]

I just said I don't use chrome

[atomic current]

nope

works just fine on technicality because I don't use poopera

[sour falcon]

Lmfao

I made sure it wasn’t my GPU dying

[north crescent]

Husband knows how to install GPU and use browser profiles but not CtrlShiftT? Or did she just not want to ask husband? Like wat??

[grand kernel]

what would ctrl shift t solve there anyways

[atomic current]

oh oh I knopw

[sour falcon]

Reopen the last closed tab

[atomic current]

not having ctrl shift t

[grand kernel]

the profile was still there after switching back she just didn't know it switched

oh also when people refer their friends that you've never met to ask you for tech help

[north crescent]

Ah wait yeah utilizing browsing history (closed tabs shortcut) wouldnt work ig on different profile

I thought you meant they changed profile settings

not diff profile

[grand kernel]

if it's a simple question that I know the answer to sure maybe but I'm not gonna spend 8 hours troubleshooting for this stranger for free

[wary fjord]

but u gonna earn good deeds xD

+5

[north crescent]

It's a fun time when you dont exist to hang out but do exist for help and only help

[grand kernel]

yeah

sometimes I get people who I haven't spoken to in 2 years asking me to troubleshoot their pc

[sinful blade]

Firefox gang

[grand kernel]

I don't even respond to those at this point lol

[proud jackal]

Fix my 14900k pls

[grand kernel]

okay

I'll apply 3 volts to it for you

[proud jackal]

I have to keep it all core 5.6 and disable core 4 for it to be stable

[atomic current]

I will apply 13kV

[proud jackal]

Pcores*

[north crescent]

Feed it 4.39 theocoins

[grand kernel]

that sounds like an RMA angle ngl

do you have one of those motherboards that undervolts it at "stock"

[atomic current]

my 12600k works fine :)

[proud jackal]

I have a z790 apex and a z790 formula does it do it

[grand kernel]

I've heard of some asus board that defaults to low loadlines

don't remember which specifically

check your ac/dc loadline settings at stock maybe

[proud jackal]

Do it for me thnx

[grand kernel]

ok come to LA

[random osprey]

is this an early april fools joke from Dexerto or like does everyone hate apple for super dumb reasons now? 💀

[grand kernel]

it's real

[proud jackal]

😦

[grand kernel]

I hope it results in imessage working with RCS

[proud jackal]

You come up here, pookie

[grand kernel]

I will in summer

[random osprey]

was this not a thing that was gonna happen through EU changes?

[grand kernel]

I dunno

I don't care enough to keep up with everything apple related lol

I have a general disdain for their practices but not a passionate hatred like some people

people who care that much are just as weird as the fanboys imo

[tranquil pebble]

sounds about right

[pliant berry]

some of the things eu has been suing apple for is honestly ridiculous. but it would be nice if i didn't have to use sms with imessage anymore

i mean even if you supported rcs but still added special features to imessage to make it competitive that's fine

[atomic current]

I really don't like that a mac/macbook has the storage soldered to the board or with proprietary firmware so when it dies your data is cooked

[icy ore]

Ban polls

[atomic current]

I should say, when anything on the motherboard dies your data is cooked

[tranquil pebble]

data is Cooked

[random osprey]

when and why do we have a poll feature

[pliant berry]

see that's an interesting one. to some people the storage thing can be a big deal and ofc apple's answer would be just get icloud backup. on the other hand the tight integration is seriously impressive and makes it a very compelling device compared to other laptops

I don't mind losing some of the upgradability and repairability but it needs to offer something in return that makes sense

[random osprey]

the something in return is adobe actually working and not crashing every 5 seconds on windows

[pliant berry]

haha true

though I will say nvidia studio drivers can be life saver

[atomic current]

I don't use adobe

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-squarepants-nickelodeon-sigh-phew-gif-5752975

[pliant berry]

it's like i see so many people say "wow apple has monopoly in x space" but then you look at it and it's really just because the competition (windows) just doesn't want to properly support it. this is especially the case in anything adobe and audio

the day windows implements a proper audio engine is the day i will die

[velvet summit]

adobe linux support when

[mortal grail]

TRUE

[chrome mirage]

I misspelled concrete and autocorrect did it's thing

[atomic current]

[pliant berry]

Lmao

[mortal grail]

Did you not wear a mask?

[tranquil pebble]

speaking of air quality, I got an air purifier recently

[chrome mirage]

My work doesn't supply masks

[atomic current]

complain about that

[mortal grail]

You can always bring your own

[mortal grail]

Also fr this^

N95 minimum

[atomic current]

you deserve good health and safety regs

[chrome mirage]

I probably shouldn't even be in the building while the construction is going on but the board doesn't want to shut the school down.

[tacit geode]

totally tubular man

[mortal grail]

Then buy an N95 and protect urself

Or ask the school to provide them

They're hot af and annoying but breathing heavy dust on the regular can be legitimately dangerous

An N95 is like $5

Probably not even that now covid is over lol

[tacit geode]

just be a man and inhale the dust

[chrome mirage]

They have 2 year olds in the building while this is happening

[mortal grail]

In air conditioned areas surely

[chrome mirage]

Nope

[mortal grail]

Then all the more reason to have a serious concern raised

[chrome mirage]

There are currently multiple lawsuits going on because of the construction

[mortal grail]

Go buy a few surgery packs of masks and give them to the kids and yourself

Better than nothing

That's like $5 lol

Idk what my objective is here but I think the core of it is having some initiative would help a lot lol

[random osprey]

@mortal grail dont know if i already told you, but pc is built

now time to save up for parts for second pc

[mortal grail]

I did not know

It work?

[random osprey]

ye

[mortal grail]

Temps gud?

[chrome mirage]

We live in a town where people are dieing from the lumber mill dust anyways so I don't think it's going to help much

[random osprey]

havent checked temps yet under load but i mean, it hasnt shut off during gaming

[mortal grail]

I'll take that as a halfway pass

[random osprey]

idle temp though for my gpu is lower than what it was in the meshlicious pc

[mortal grail]

Man I guess on a fundamental level your town needs help

Lol

[random osprey]

i know idle dont mean much but also means that its getting more air

[chrome mirage]

I know like 10 people that died of cancer last year

[mortal grail]

I still stand by the fact an n95 probably would help you a lot here

More so now that you mention sawdust

[unreal trail]

Tales of Symphonia is buggin

[random osprey]

also perf is better in the games ive been playing

[chrome mirage]

We still have asbestos everywhere in the schools and buildings around here

[mortal grail]

Go get an n95

💀

[wary fjord]

wheres the bug

[chrome mirage]

It took the school 40 years to finally get to cleaning up asbestos spilling out of a wall

[mortal grail]

It's safety standard here to use N98 around asbestos

Any less you get poison warnings

[wary fjord]

u need to move

[mortal grail]

Glasses as well to avoid shards in the eyes

Either you live in the doom universe and you're in hell school or these things are in and around and it's not nearly as bad as it's sounding

I worked in a restaurant where the dishwasher didn't work so they would just wipe the plates with a rag and throw more food on it and the walls had an inch thick layer of mold.

[wary fjord]

They infect compuper with program to monitor internet traffic, send you an email saying they'll leak your browser history unless you pay them or something I dunno. Nigerian Prince or whatever

[wary fjord]

theres this dating site before that does that ads

they they raid it

its just bunch of mens

u send something that ruin ur life its done xD they win

good thing on firefox is their dev tools

No dlss + RTX on at 1440p high

✅

[random osprey]

camera is also set to the furthest view distance so i can see more but not sure if that would affect fps in this game compared to other games

guess depends on how they render things

real question is gonna be when im in combat if its gonna hold up or if its gonna look like the ps5 gameplay at 32fps

also i have 3 pawns in my party, one has yet to level up

[mortal grail]

Level up your own reflexes by killing them

theyre still level 2 and everyone else is level 6 and higher even though that level 2 pawn is doing most of the work with the enemies

[rancid juniper]

ez stuff for them

[rancid juniper]

not bad for now

[wooden marten]

@rancid juniper someone offered $180 for it

the 3060ti

[rancid juniper]

👀

[wooden marten]

idk if its too low though

bc the card still works fine its just bad cooling

[rancid juniper]

try and counter for $200

but they may not like that

[wooden marten]

main issue is I most likely cant ship it tomorrow

bc of work

unless I can convince my manager to let me clock in an hour later 💀

[wooden marten]

The thing is I want to get rid of the card

Ill take $180 ngl

[rancid juniper]

ah then you can accept

[wooden marten]

Its just the shipping issue

[rancid juniper]

its up to your satisfaction

just message the buyer telling them that shipping may be delayed

[wooden marten]

Ill made a counter offer for $180

10 more bucks isnt a huge diff

but it gives me a bit more time

[lone mango]

This guy on marketplace is selling a 6800 for 275

[wooden marten]

That seems suspiciously low tho ngl

Also the 6800 i ordered off wegg is still on its way even tho I contacted support and they said they cancelled it 😭

[lone mango]

It used to be 325. Wondering why he dropped it so much. He said in the post he is not going below 275

Maybe he got lowballed and really wants to get rid of it or something

[lone mango]

[wooden marten]

Based on the experience I had with the last low priced 3060ti that turned out to have a cooling issue i dont want to risk it

[lone mango]

I get that warning a lot

Can’t buy it anyway, but I am curious

[wooden marten]

Im so confused rn

[lone mango]

No swearing

[wooden marten]

wegg says package will be here tomorrow but its still in canada

[lone mango]

Oh

[wooden marten]

Nice gif

[rancid juniper]

I mean, when you look at the PS5 pro specs I really doubt it's enough to hit a good frame rate especially when the CPU is only clocked higher

They gotta be real tho and target 1440p 60 atleast

Not 4k 30

[wooden marten]

Is my pc gonna beat the ps5 pro?
12600k, 6800, 32gb ddr5

[atomic current]

it's gonna make scram,pled eggs bacon and gtoast

[rancid juniper]

PS5 pro is going to have a 7700xt like GPU perf

[rancid juniper]

Your system can probably clap it

[wooden marten]

Alr 7800xt it is then

8800xt

[rancid juniper]

Wow it's way closer than I thought wtf

6800non xt trades blows against the 7700xt

AMD bruh

[wooden marten]

I think with a bit of oc i could beat it

[rancid juniper]

Yea you actually can

Lol that's kinda sad

7700xt should've been 6800xt level at the very minimum

[wooden marten]

Honestly 2020 might have been the best time for gpus in terms of innovation

not price though

rx 6000 series and 30 series are absolute monsters even 4 years later

they hold their value super well

[rancid juniper]

Oh yes for sure

Even the midrange rdna2 has some insane value to it

[mortal grail]

6600 be like:

[rancid juniper]

Probably the best gen AMD has shown so far

[mortal grail]

Man they've only shown 3

[wooden marten]

This gen is disappointing though ngl

[rancid juniper]

Fair enough

[wooden marten]

lots of the mid range cards have barely any performance upgrades

[mortal grail]

My favourite gen tbh is 3

Since 3 was the birth of good drivers

[rancid juniper]

XD

[wooden marten]

4060ti, 7700xt, 4060

disapointments

[random osprey]

ive already found some questionable armor in this game 💀

crazy part, it had the best stats compared to everything else i was able to buy

[atomic current]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-confused-huh-what-question-mark-gif-17417636

[rancid juniper]

Thing is, AMD's next gen gpus aren't going to be that interesting

However the price may be

No high end gpus

[wooden marten]

tbh I don’t really care about fancy software or niche hardware stuff like nvidia loves to brag about

[rancid juniper]

But ma 4090

[wooden marten]

as long as its got great preformance for the price its a win

thats why I like amd

[idle nexus]

I really can't decide if I hate this or not

[rancid juniper]

Funny how their cpus are wacky efficient

[idle nexus]

like the top pipe just looks off...

[paper verge]

What about my 7700 6600 💀

[rancid juniper]

RDNA 3 efficiency isn't as great but it's fine

[wooden marten]

part of it might just be a cope with my bad 3060ti experience ngl

[mortal grail]

I love when you come back like, hey check this out XD

[idle nexus]

[rancid juniper]

Unclappable

I'm sorry

[idle nexus]

[rancid juniper]

This pc build, this is straight out of PC building simulator

[wooden marten]

oh yeah someone made an offer for the 3060ti @idle nexus

[mortal grail]

I actually like that more

[idle nexus]

too much going on up top I think

[mortal grail]

Maybe change the cpu runs only

[wooden marten]

they said $170 but I offered $180 just to stall a bit more time

[idle nexus]

like I'd be happy with it but for the short pipe to the memory block

[wooden marten]

I cant ship it tommorow

I didn’t expect to receive an offer so soon

[idle nexus]

that's not bad to recoup some $. I still think there has to be a way to fix it but it's probably not worth the mission lol

Yoooooo

😳

[idle nexus]

lol the CPU runs are kinda the only part I liked

[rancid juniper]

Bro's eyes will widen when he sees that 6800 perf

[idle nexus]

well Amazon might be able to get a bigger case to you by tomorrow sometimes lol

[wooden marten]

Yeah ill spend a buck extra for fast shipping

[rancid juniper]

How to make Intel not suck on my power line?

[idle nexus]

the run to the memory is suchhh a waste of fittings

it's like 4 compression & a 90

[atomic current]

you should air cool it all

giiant heatsonks

[rancid juniper]

Air-cooling >>> watercooling

I'll stand on that hill

[wooden marten]

I might not see a big difference at first bc im still playing 1080p, but once I get that 1440p monitor its gonna be a big step up

[idle nexus]

lol I'm starting to think air cooling is the way to go with the way this nightmare has been

[mortal grail]

Why make them all flat

Use diagonal runs

[rancid juniper]

[idle nexus]

I meant the PSU but probably ya

[mortal grail]

Oh that

Meh, d.f not bad

[idle nexus]

maybe I should put 13900KS with 4090 in this build instead lol

[mortal grail]

Just good luck with multirail lol

[idle nexus]

850w tho for 3080ti+5900x like max OC I could run

I would start TimeSpy Extreme & entire system would shut off

[mortal grail]

That would indeed trip the psu on unlock bios

[rancid juniper]

(Water spills)

PC: "I hate baths"

Fricking dies

[mortal grail]

Yeahhh haha

[idle nexus]

I got Thermaltake ToughPower RGB 1200w PSU after that

[rancid juniper]

Aight I'm heading to bed lol night nerds

[idle nexus]

which I can't use for this build because it has 4 CPU/PCIe connections

[mortal grail]

Night spyro fan

Wait that's me

[idle nexus]

if I don't get PCIe 5.0 PSU, I need TEN

[atomic current]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-r2d2-fall-tired-exhausted-gif-4711876

[idle nexus]

I could use my 1600w EVGA G+ but then I gotta hide 8 PCIe 6+2s

so I guess I need a stupid $300 PSU now

dammit

this build is a money pit that smells like pennies

(those are 1 cent coins here in USA that are made of copper & are more or less entirely worthless)

[atomic current]

they're made of less copper than your electric toothbrush

[idle nexus]

lol ya money isn't actually worth anything. THANKS NIXON

was it Nixon? this is getting too close to political nvm lol

[mortal grail]

I have a G2 from rommy ggood

I'm legit thinking of downsizing from it

[idle nexus]

I have a 1300w G2 in my Daily rn

the problem isn't the wattage, it's the amount of damn connections lol

I found a Be Quiet! PSU that has 2x12vhwpr connections

it's like $200ish iirc

[atomic current]

nixon reagan johnson bush clinton what difference does iut make tomato tomato

[mortal grail]

Oh yeah you have the dinky ass HoF card lmao

[idle nexus]

otherwise Thermaltake 1650w GF3 is my next possibility

[mortal grail]

8x8 pcie

LMAO

[atomic current]

how much power do you need

[mortal grail]

Literal octopus

[atomic current]

just get a tooaster and be done with it

[mortal grail]

That's like 3KW of pcie power headroom

eh maybe like 3 megawatt nuclear reactor would be plenty

[atomic current]

get the toaster and put it into the microwave

[idle nexus]

https://tenor.com/view/the-predator-gif-26220654

ya how much wattage can a 6+2 run again? isn't it like 350 or something?

[atomic current]

too much

return to light bulb

[idle nexus]

heck can't molex do like 125w or something lol

dis PSU good? I didn't look at the PSU Tier list long enough to find it lol

1200w for $180

[atomic current]

then how is it here in front of us 👀

[idle nexus]

TT GF3 is 1650w for like $245

[idle nexus]

[atomic current]

woopdity scoop

[idle nexus]

also, I think it was a mistake to use those red 90s for the CPU in/out... they look out of place

meh nvm I'll shut up about it

[mortal grail]

Lol

Honestly

I didn't even notice

I getchu tho, you want it all perfect here

Especially when copper is involved

Definitely peak life

[idle nexus]

okay last time then shut up for real

I have this thing

maybe if I put it on the 2d pipe down, it'll like distract from craziness a little

[mortal grail]

I had a water thermometer for my loop

I broke it

[idle nexus]

that thing is also kinda cool cuz you run it to your power header & you can set it to force shutdown if coolant hits the temp you set

like it goes to the motherboard & also has a spot where you connect it to the case power button too

so it like intercepts it

[idle nexus]

I usually throw one of those little screw in ones if the board has the header for it

like benching setup has it presently

[mortal grail]

Mine did

But I broke it

[idle nexus]

lol even the bitspower ones are pretty cheap

[mortal grail]

It wasn't even an accident I was just lazy

Tried pulling the cable

Sure enough

Clean break

[idle nexus]

lol that's how I ended up having to replace the rgb strips in my 3080ti & 3070 EK blocks

the freaking wire is like 3x the size of a human hair

[mortal grail]

The gpu waterblocks always have cheap af wire gauges

I've broken 2 myself

[idle nexus]

I got them to send me two new ones for like $8/each plus like $20 to ship it from Transylvania or whatever the heck EK is

[mortal grail]

I've only owned 4

[mortal grail]

🧛

[idle nexus]

lol I took the bitspower one for 4090 out & I'm not putting it back in until the whole thing is ready to power on

cuz I don't wanna break another one dammit

[mortal grail]

Real

I soldered mine to a connector

So I can UNPLUG IT

[idle nexus]

the bitspower one is WAY better tho

[mortal grail]

WHY IS THIS A LUXURY

[idle nexus]

cuz the EK one, you have to disassemble THE ENTIRE BLOCK to replace it

[mortal grail]

WHY DO NO GPU BLOCKS HAVE A SHORT HAND CONNECTOR

THEY'RE BEGGING ME TO BREAK IT

[idle nexus]

what drives me nuts is the EK one has a snap in connector for where it connects to where it says like "GeForce RTX"

like why didn't you heckin circus clowns put that for the main connection instead of the secondary one to another part of the rgb crap

[mortal grail]

LMAO

Anyway I'll bbl

[chrome mirage]

I still think RTX is stupid and they should have stuck with GTX. Ray tracing isn't going to be the big new tech forever.

[atomic current]

gtx 5080ti

[chrome mirage]

I'd buy it

[atomic current]

replaces the rt cores with cuda

[idle nexus]

the yellow is where it snaps into the connection to the "GeForce RTX" rgb & the red goes to the rgb header so it can break & I can order a new one from Tunguska

[atomic current]

more vroooom

[idle nexus]

I wonder if next will be PTX cuz pathtracing

[atomic current]

laaaaame

after people called seus ptgi fake ray tracing

[chrome mirage]

[idle nexus]

[neat vine]

Do I need to buy windows I’m on a uefi bios utility screen

[idle nexus]

if you haven't installed Windows, you need to install it form a USB drive or other external source

[neat vine]

How do I do that?

[idle nexus]

you can downlaod the tool on another computer to make an installation USB https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11

[elfin mural]

make a boot media

like that

[idle nexus]

you don't need a Windows key to use Windows 11 (or 10) but it'll leave this annoying watermark in the bottom righthand corner that says "Activate Windows"

[elfin mural]

there's ways to remove that watermark

[idle nexus]

oooo I forgot

woot.com (an Amazon company) has Windows keys rn https://computers.woot.com/offers/microsoft-windows-11-home-or-pro-your-choice-6?ref=w_cnt_lnd_cat_pc_1_1

There's free ways that I shouldn't mention here

[idle nexus]

& that's not even "sketchy" like people think cdkdeals is

cuz Amazon company

you can log-in to woot with your amazon user/password stuff

I got my 5000D from Woot

But I ain’t complaining when she’s good enough to run a fantastic Etsy shop for crochet stuff. Like aromatherapy bears, dog beds, pillows, and blankets among other things

[swift sable]

Probably not 😔

I've kinda moved away from pc hardware as a hobby atm

[idle nexus]

I guess not so great Barrow pump wouldn't be much of an alternative then

why? had enough splitting hairs or 10 more benchmark boints? I feel you

OCing DDR5 is enough to quit by itself

XTX or 4080 Super?

4080 Super costs a little more (~5-8% more money)

[idle nexus]

eh how much do you love ray tracing?

[elfin mural]

xtx has similar rt perf

[idle nexus]

also will you use framegen &/or DLSS? lol

[devout forum]

idk, is it worth using?

[elfin mural]

but if you care about power consumption a lot

nvidia

[idle nexus]

I dunno I've never actually gamed on my 4090 yet lmao

[devout forum]

frame gen kinda feels gimmicky since the latency felt really bad

[elfin mural]

amd has fg too ya

oh yeah I haven't even considered that yet

[idle nexus]

I think nvidia reflex mitigates that a bit

but yeah

4080 Super only recommending a 750 is kinda crazy

since it's still a 4k card right?

[wooden marten]

do I need the 2 fans at the top of the case

[idle nexus]

ya having your username on hwbot homepage for 24 hours is cool & all but probably could've accomplished something better with your time lol

[devout forum]

I mean it's very much capable of 4k60+

[wooden marten]

Or can I just use the 3 front and 1 back one

[devout forum]

right?

[idle nexus]

I mean, if they fit, might as well use them to exhaust heat but "need"? not really

[deep parcel]

heres some of them

I especially liked the floating random extra batman one

[idle nexus]

ya 4080S should be a good 4k card

[swift sable]

I definitely could have lol. Getting into skating was an amazing decision

[craggy shoal]

[swift sable]

Plus sitting at a desk and feeling like I'm rotting is not how I wanna spend my fun time

Especially when things weren't running lol

This past CC killed my motivation to bench entirely

[idle nexus]

ya I've been there... taking apart the system for the 75th time cuz contact is bad or CPU just kinda sucks (my 13900KS)

[swift sable]

lol

[idle nexus]

flashing BIOS again thinking, "this time will be different"

seriously for Z790 Apex

[swift sable]

💀💀💀💀

[idle nexus]

I've tried THIRTY-SEVEN different BIOS versions

[swift sable]

Knowing I had to spend more money to have competitive hardware was annoying too

Half of it is just whoever has the most money, not even skill or connections with other OCers

[swift sable]

Holy balls.

[idle nexus]

ya trying to get hardware boints is one thing but globals is like 40% skill, 10% patience, & 50% how much money you spent

[swift sable]

lol

the boints were fun

[idle nexus]

& if you're trying to get high league standing, it's nearly impossible cuz other people get binned hardware for free

that's one of the main reasons I've stayed in Enthusiast league

[swift sable]

Exactly

Glad I never cared about that

[craggy shoal]

That’s why I don't play competitively

[idle nexus]

like ya it would be awesome to do LN2 but getting a decent pot is already like what, $200-$300? plus getting LN2 so you need a dewar

then you get to compete with people who get a tray of CPUs to cherry pick from

while you gotta drop like $550-$700 on ONE of those CPUs that could easily be crap bin

[swift sable]

Oh my god yea, its a money pit

I can buy a good pair of skates for 150 to 200 and be set

[idle nexus]

ya & besides like maybe new bearings or wheels, you're at basically a level playing field with anyone else skating

so skill differentiates you more than anything else

by a significant margin

[swift sable]

Exactly

I gotta buy new wheels soon 💀

Gonna run me like 65 bucks for 8

lol ya but that's way cheaper than buying 10 14900KSs to see which one sucks least

& way less of a pain in the ass than selling the other 9 on ebay at like a $100 loss

Dragons dogma 2 runs pretty good on my PC 1440p with Ray tracing and dlss set to quality I'm getting 60fps

I enjoy overclocking but I've gotten so far away from the original reason I got into it

like ya, good scores are cool but running at the absolute razor's edge of stability isn't gonna make my gaming experience any better lol
