lol

[idle nexus]

the brother asked if he should swap his 2080 for the 3060 & I'm thinking like hmm benching 2080 would be fun but I couldn't do it in good conscience lol

[grand kernel]

could be an upgrade in some cases

[idle nexus]

gosh darnit my GPU says 1000w PSU recommended based on using it with a 5900x. I have a 1200w platinum PSU but it only has 6 6+2 connections, at least one of which I need for CPU power... this sucks

[tacit geode]

he has a 2060 laptop

idk the cpu

he doesnt feel like looking

sorry i mean 1060

[idle nexus]

damn should probably jump on that $600 then lol

[grand kernel]

what gpu?

[idle nexus]

HOF 4090

gonna daily it soon lmfao

[grand kernel]

jesus they’re offering $600 for a 1060 laptop?

[swift sable]

Excellent deal

[tacit geode]

not cash tho

[idle nexus]

I should really get an ATX 3.0/PCIe 5.0 ready PSU but I don't wanna throw another $250-$300 at this

[grand kernel]

1060 laptop probably worth like $400 max now even in the best case scenario where it’s an i7-8750H with 144hz, 2x8gb, 1tb nvme

[tacit geode]

yeah

they are giving extra 200 credit twords buying a pc

[grand kernel]

1060 laptops are a wide range

[idle nexus]

so I gotta use my 1600w G+ and figure out how the heck I'm going to hide/make this bird's nest look decent in a case

[grand kernel]

some 1060 laptops were still shipping with 6th gen cpu and hard drive as boot drive lol

[grand kernel]

get a wireview

biggest flex

[idle nexus]

lol but HOF has the little crown screen

and this case is where I had 5900x before

so it has a raspberry pi screen in it

gonna look like a radioshack in this PC wth

[idle nexus]

can I use it on 2x12vhpwr connections? lol

GPU is gonna be vertical btw

did I show you this ridiculous build?

[idle nexus]

heck wireview fits 3x6+2s max... I need 4 per 12vhpwr

[grand kernel]

😔

mod it

get that soldering iron out

something something sponsored by PCBWay

[tranquil pebble]

Reminds me... YouTuber sponsors get annoying

[idle nexus]

I finished piping for copper pipe PC but haven't built it yet lol

[grand kernel]

👀

any progress pics?

[idle nexus]

it was so much more difficult than I thought it would be

minimum bend radius on 5/8" OD 1/2" ID copper pipe is like 2.5" so I ended up doing lazy fittings

I could've used solder but I suck at soldering & it looked really bad

too sloppy imo

[grand kernel]

still looking good tho 👀

my AIO feeling real jealous right now lmao

[idle nexus]

lol it was supposed to be cheap alternative to buying regular pipe

but only kinda went that way

[wary fjord]

Steam punk theme xD

Copper tubes

Now that i think about it the water is hot in a loop. That pipe also help it to cool while its doing the loop right?

[idle nexus]

supposedly its effect is minimal but we'll see lol

[wary fjord]

and it finally paid off

[velvet summit]

lmfao

[pliant berry]

people in nyc are too quick with this

[fair onyx]

how certain are we that the 5090 will be more than 24GB VRAM?

[mental yoke]

hey guys

how do I avoid MSI Afterburner from doing something like this

[pseudo raven]

is 50 series gonna have price hikes again?

[random osprey]

when do new gpus not have price hikes?

[pseudo raven]

on one hand Nvidia could totally get away with it since their main revenue isn't even gaming anymore

but that also means they could care less about margins on them

[pseudo raven]

idk 20 series to 30 series was about even no?

[random osprey]

dont remember, just know that it took me forever to get a new 3080 😔

20 series gpu was longer for me to obtain

[pseudo raven]

well yeah that's just demand

and poor supply

[random osprey]

and me being poor

[sinful blade]

I’m sticking with a 1080ti for the time being

[pseudo raven]

I made a lot of stupid money off crypto recently so

I'm looking to upgrade if I can get it all under 2k

though if I live in the dorms for college I'm not sure if I'll have the space or time

[sinful blade]

What are your plans to upgrade?

[pseudo raven]

probably a 5080 and the 7800x3d?

[sinful blade]

Whatchu got now?

[pseudo raven]

5600x 3070

not bad by any means

[sinful blade]

Why not go for a 4080 super?

[random osprey]

hopefully another good deal comes by for the 7800x3d. bought mine when wegg had a deal for it to be about $330 or whatever it was

[proud jackal]

I want 5090

[pseudo raven]

im cool with waiting

[random osprey]

youll win one theo

[proud jackal]

[pseudo raven]

5000 series is this fall isn't it?

[sinful blade]

Probably

You should donate me your old parts

[pseudo raven]

Hah

I wanted to leave my old PC for my sister

she should be about 11 by then so she'd definitely appreciate it

but my parents are dead against it so I'll probably sell it

[weak cedar]

I donated my old pc to my cousins children, although gpu is a 4gb card

[sinful blade]

I have $12 and a dream

[random osprey]

put those parts in old pc case. sleeper build so parents think its rusty old computer that she can use

[pseudo raven]

lmao

ngl she's

kinda dumb

[sinful blade]

Could find some kid down on their luck

[pseudo raven]

last thing she needs is a video game addiction

[sinful blade]

And be like, yeah, this is garbage, I’ll sell it to you for $100

And he gets this beast of a pc

[random osprey]

teach her league and make her the new Faker, 3x world champ 🗿

[idle nexus]

tbh I don't know

[idle nexus]

I thought it might match well with the color of the motherboard you can't really see anyway lol

[idle nexus]

secondaries almost matter more than primaries tho lol

[chrome mirage]

The fans blowing air over them might actually help cool the water since copper is really good at transferring heat

[weak cedar]

but what if she becomes new faker, 3x world champ 🗿

99.9% chance she becomes deranged tho

But true

[mortal grail]

Corsair chickens when

C100

Controllable rgb chicken

[tranquil pebble]

rgb gaming chickens

[mortal grail]

Yeah gaming haha

Compatible with the new iCue

[elfin mural]

why are people obsessed with boards 2-3x over $200

it's mostly new gamers who unfortunately got baited i guess?

[mortal grail]

You'd typically think more money is more better but no

[elfin mural]

mobos that cost as much, or more than an oled monitor

[mortal grail]

Heh

<owned 5 of them

[elfin mural]

well felix you're an enthusiast

[mortal grail]

I'm trying to unenthusiast rn

Tired of waterloop headaches lmao

[elfin mural]

last day i saw 5.3k pc with

14700k and 4070 ti super

[mortal grail]

Heh

LOL

[elfin mural]

corsair case

[atomic mist]

[elfin mural]

9 corsair rgb fans

[mortal grail]

You mean they said it was 5.3k

That ain't

[elfin mural]

i literally saw it

pcpp list

[mortal grail]

No even if you pump that full of new corsair crap they're selling it wayyy above market

[elfin mural]

it had an alienware 4k qled curved

that's why

[mortal grail]

Oh this was a list

Ew

[tranquil pebble]

I hate curved monitors

[elfin mural]

the monitor itself was like 1200

ya

and windows license

full price

[mortal grail]

How do you manage to spend 3x the price

On that

[elfin mural]

4k 240hz 32" iirc

[mortal grail]

Oh god it's that asus or samsung

Lmao

[elfin mural]

ya

how to easily splurge 5.3k without having a 4090

also 1200w psu on said setup

[mortal grail]

On the flip side

1200W psu

Won't explode

Lmao

[elfin mural]

that's one good thing i guess

[atomic mist]

Hey what do you guys think of my build? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/M7mPWt

[elfin mural]

coz i saw 64gb in the form of two 32gb kits

oh my god

that's without monitor

[tranquil pebble]

"Not exploding" is the most important feature a PSU can have

[elfin mural]

it's just

1200w on 4070ti super?

[mortal grail]

https://tenor.com/view/space-galaxy-black-hole-gif-27473302

[elfin mural]

very overkill ngl

it's the case of more money more better for other parts

gpu and cpu? meh, whatever

they're all secondary

[mortal grail]

Tbf

If all you play is fps

[elfin mural]

or "oops im running out of budget, what to do"

[mortal grail]

4070ti can do 4k

[elfin mural]

ya

im just puzzled by other choices

[mortal grail]

The objective issue is they spent 3x the price to get there

[atomic mist]

Yeah I tried to stay under 4k personally on that build

[elfin mural]

like 64gb ram, overkill psu and very expensive monitor

[mortal grail]

I didn't even click, the preview was scary enough

[elfin mural]

nine fans that cost half as much as the gpu costs

[atomic mist]

Lolol

[mortal grail]

Like r/twosentencehorrors

Except it's computers

[tranquil pebble]

lol

[elfin mural]

yeah

as soon as you see i9 and 4060ti

you know what's up

[atomic mist]

First off

It’s a themed build

[elfin mural]

usual excuses

[mortal grail]

Describe your theme

[atomic mist]

Video games and pop culture

[mortal grail]

walks up to art exhibit

[atomic mist]

[mortal grail]

[atomic mist]

[mortal grail]

[tranquil pebble]

no but an awful driver could do that

[pseudo raven]

its happened to me

two webcams in a row now

really weird

[tranquil pebble]

driver is the first thing I'd check

[pseudo raven]

yeah

its a random

chinese brand

so ill try to dig up the listing i guess

[tranquil pebble]

that explains it then

[viral heron]

Is 77c gpu temp fine under full load

I'm getting mixed answers from Google

AMD Radeon rx 7900 XTX

[wary fjord]

Yes

[viral heron]

Ok thanks

[wary fjord]

Rdna card can even go 110 xD if i recall. But its great that u get 77c

[viral heron]

Oh ok cool

[elfin mural]

for most cpus and gpus

their core can take 90c just fine

[mortal grail]

Hi guys

[wispy wedge]

its too busy sending data back to Beijing.

[devout forum]

Wow 4070 Super is CHEAPER than 7900 GRE rn here

by like 5% but still

at that point Team Green might actually make sense

[wary fjord]

yeah u could go for green

if its cheaper

[devout forum]

what a weird situation all the price cuts caused

[wary fjord]

they seem identical in raw power

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFKhlplCNpM

but sometimes 1440p gre wins

[devout forum]

more VRAM and slightly better raw 1440p perf vs better upscaling and RT

[wary fjord]

yeah go for it

[devout forum]

like quality DLSS probably outshines the 7900 GRE

[wary fjord]

u get to have dlss 3 thingy

make that card last longer

[devout forum]

it's wild how AI actually makes upscaling better

but yeah

I've been hard on AMD for the longest time

But it seems my next PC will be powered by nGreedAI

still gonna use an AMD CPU tho

[wary fjord]

4070 super here is 739 usd

theres 686 dollar but 2 fan only

im not a fan of 2 fan design xD

visually

[wary fjord]

RX 7900 GRE has same price as 4070 super here

xD

color white

even the back nice

not bad both are available with white edition 4070 super

wait its not white its like it change color depends on angle thats cool

[dusk knot]

Kewl

[devout forum]

on one hand I like the idea of more VRAM and better 1440p perf

but like

DLSS is so good you can get incredible FPS at 1440p on quality upscaling

[wary fjord]

u want higher texture u need more vram for that

u see those games where it has slider xD and it shows if ur vram goes red xD

my 8gb already maxing a 1080p texutre on some games.. like the last of us

[devout forum]

12gb should be fine tho right?

[sinful blade]

Ye

[elfin mural]

im happy with 6gb

sometimes it's not about hardware

cuz once you have enough power to play anything

you somehow lose the desire to play all the games and stick to what you've already been playing anyway

[sinful blade]

Me and d2

[tranquil pebble]

this is why I dont buy like a 4090... it'd be a waste

I mostly play JRPGs anyways. Sometimes I play something more intense but not often.

[elfin mural]

4050 exceeds my expectations

so tbh anything above 4060 probably won't benefit me at all

wouldve loved to have 8gb tho for longevity lol

[sinful blade]

That’s why I want me 1080ti

Nothin it can’t handle today

[tranquil pebble]

its not as efficient as newer cards though

and its reputation makes it overpriced sometimes

[elfin mural]

very expensive nowadays

they're nearly 200 rn

[tranquil pebble]

My 5700 XT does not like Persona 3 Reload though... 6900 XT should fix that

admittedly, the P3R port isn't great but its nowhere near the worst port

[elfin mural]

my bro saw msi laptop vids

and he said it's better than my 140w gpu bearing tuf a15

hell nah, not those 45w gpu tdp laptops posing as gaming laptop

[sinful blade]

I can find a few close to $150 on used sites

[elfin mural]

i think you can just easily find 5700's

[sinful blade]

Newer cards are still above it

In pricing

[elfin mural]

if not

5600xt is perfectly good

https://www.ebay.com/itm/166685461892

like this one

[tranquil pebble]

lol, lmao even

[elfin mural]

it will absolutely slap 1080ti

5700xt is 2070s perf after all

[sinful blade]

I need pure optimization

[tranquil pebble]

5700 XT is not without issues even still, but it generally does run well

[elfin mural]

amd drivers is fine

rdna1 also ironed out

[tranquil pebble]

Yeah, 5700 XT is WAY less buggy now than ever.

[elfin mural]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/166685470711

ah yes

[sinful blade]

I was so lucky with my old 1080

[elfin mural]

the crappiest one there is for rdna 1

evoke

[tranquil pebble]

I have a J-pop song stuck in my head lol

[elfin mural]

[tranquil pebble]

[sinful blade]

Meanwhile this dude tried to get me to buy a duke 1080ti

these linear switches aren't for me man

[tranquil pebble]

I know you can mix Nvidia and AMD as I did that once lol

[elfin mural]

i need more weight to my typing experience

i keep holding down the keys a bit too long

RGB is annoying on a PC tower IMO. Good on a keyboard, but leave it there please...

[sinful blade]

[elfin mural]

im the guy who puts his rgb to white

[mental yoke]

🥲🔫

[elfin mural]

all of rgb on white

i wish we had rgbw instead

so white doesn't look off

and i have to set it to yellowish

[mental yoke]

just get white components..

[tranquil pebble]

White is R, G, and B combined and sometimes uses PWM to control the strength of each

[elfin mural]

rgb color is a different matter than white components lol

id rather use black or grey

white smudges too easily

[tranquil pebble]

black motherboards look very nice

[mental yoke]

all ik is that i work 10 am to 10 pm

[elfin mural]

im saying this while typing on a beige colored keeb lmao

[tranquil pebble]

I kinda want a Model M with backlighting if such a thing exists

I like my kbs nice and heavy

[mental yoke]

i was boutta say

“u mean keyboards right?”

[tranquil pebble]

yes, the very well known IBM Model M

[mental yoke]

this thing?

don’t mind the search, had to google that specific word

[tranquil pebble]

yes but a modern take on it

[mental yoke]

js add rgb lights to it

[tranquil pebble]

There are new kbs based on it, using the same mechanisms

[mental yoke]

like one redditor did

well

time to play my switch until i go

Lemme see that white strix 4090

That has to look so clean

[chrome mirage]

My sister went to test drive a Toyota and they don't have any cars.

[reef shard]

[chrome mirage]

She is a terrible driver

[sinful blade]

Go test drive a Hyundai HEV blue

54 miles to the “gallon” in city

It’s a hybrid

[chrome mirage]

She doesn't want a Hyundai

[sinful blade]

:0

[viral heron]

I restarted PC and it fixed. 🤔 does anyone know why my frames drop by like 40-50 and a pc restart fixes/how to prevent

[elfin mural]

brand image matters a lot to some people

[sinful blade]

Hey, can I borrow that for 3-5 years

[elfin mural]

get her a nissan

[chrome mirage]

She's currently driving a Hyundai

[elfin mural]

they'll definitely have cars for test driving

[chrome mirage]

We don't have a Nissan dealership

[elfin mural]

im guessing it's got some problems

[sinful blade]

I drive an ‘04 Sonata

[chrome mirage]

Why have ford, dodge, Chevy, Honda, Toyota, and Hyundai. That's it

[elfin mural]

i don't like hyundai's below late 2000's myself

with some exceptions

like tiburon

well, i think a civic shouldn't be very expensive

[mortal grail]

Are you changing a lot of settings or alt tabbing a buttload

[viral heron]

No settings changed but yeah I alt tab a tonnn

[elfin mural]

that's the issue then

[viral heron]

Like hundreds of times prolly

[elfin mural]

alt tabbing messes it up

[viral heron]

Sometimes when I alt tab too my entire pc goes to like

3 fps

For like 15 seconds

[mortal grail]

do you have windows hdr or hdr in games on

[elfin mural]

some games don't like alt tabbing

[viral heron]

Idk what that means tbh

I play in windowed full screen if that matters

[mortal grail]

HDR

it's a graphic setting

[cedar compass]

German cars

[mortal grail]

Well I'm just gonna assume HDR is on

so

Suggestion

right click on desktop

display settings

scroll down a little

"use hdr"

[sinful blade]

D2 and fallout nv are two of those

[viral heron]

It's off

[mortal grail]

That should stop it from flickering in and out of games

turn it on

restart

[viral heron]

Ok

[mortal grail]

see if it's better

[elfin mural]

unity games seem to particularly spazz out with auto gpu switching when i use chrome lol

[viral heron]

I think my monitor settings has HDR too so I need that o?

[elfin mural]

but this only applies to laptops

my issue that is

[mortal grail]

it should be on already I would think

It stops windows from pausing and resuming the radeon driver to use hdr in a game

and if you alt tab a lot

well

you're wearing down the driver basically

weird way to phrase it but I can replicate this easily

[cedar compass]

Weird laptop issues

[mortal grail]

If I change my display settings ten times in a row, I can cause stuttering

[viral heron]

Yeah makes sense, I alt top so much so def makes sense

[mortal grail]

But restart, it's gone

[elfin mural]

it's not weird lappy issues per say

[mortal grail]

Ye, so if you remove it from black screening during alt tab, it may stop stuttering

[elfin mural]

my laptop just has advanced optimus

[reef shard]

[viral heron]

Ok cool thanks. Hopefully that fixes that

[elfin mural]

and chrome with hw acceleration exclusively uses igpu

[mortal grail]

See how you go

[elfin mural]

so i get the flickering as the game is active in the background

gpu switching repeatedly

maybe i should disable hw accel

https://www.xda-developers.com/nasa-shouldnt-use-phone-photograph-solar-eclipse/

huh

solar eclipse can damage cam sensors too?

[reef shard]

Apparently

But everyone does it

So I'm not sure it's a real issue lmao

[mortal grail]

reminds me of the nuclear pellet

[elfin mural]

lol

[velvet summit]

I mean, you can burn your camera sensor

With intense enough light

[pliant berry]

I feel like it’s something they say just in case even though it’s not necessarily true across the board

[velvet summit]

There is potential for damage, but it's safer to just say it will than something vague like "yeah it might or might not"

[pliant berry]

Like ive taken pics of a solar eclipse on a phone before but it was a wide angle lens and for short period of time

[velvet summit]

It's interesting that NASA is the one saying it though, instead of phone manufacturers

[pliant berry]

Its probably the same reason reason there was a warning on the “green giant” lens to never point towards the sun lol

[velvet summit]

Lmao

[velvet summit]

I wonder how fast you can start a fire with that lens when you disconnect it from the camera body and point it at like some leaves

[pliant berry]

Yeah this thing

[pliant berry]

Ikr

[velvet summit]

Also that camera body looks like those microscope cameras on that lens lmfao

It looks so small

[pliant berry]

Yeah xD

[craggy shoal]

Bruh yes

[dusk knot]

Holy 😮

[dusk knot]

If I can damage your eyes, so can the camera's

[elfin mural]

why yall act like im 5

[dusk knot]

Zooming too much into the sun is bad. 300-600mm works best

[elfin mural]

i was simply expressing my discovery

[dusk knot]

Goo goo gaga

🍼 jk lol

@elfin mural

Here's one of my practice shots for the partial...

[elfin mural]

nice

[viral heron]

Is it normal for HDR to make my screen have an orange tint

And everything is like brighter

But it doesn't let me change brightness

[dusk knot]

No

What's your monitor?

You have windows 11?

Do you have an OLED or miniLED?

if not turn it off.

The tint could be because of your monitor's settings.

[viral heron]

MSI G272QPF

Windows 10

Idk what the OLED means

[dusk knot]

Hhmmmmmmm

[viral heron]

And when I turned HDR on it doesn't let me change any monitor settings

Apart from like sharpness and transparency

The default look of the monitor kinda had this same orange tint, but there was an option in the color temperature called "cool" which Made it look a lot more normal

[viral heron]

I cant turn that on with HDR on tho, and I turned HDR on for this

[mortal grail]

orange tint not normal, though you may have adjusted to the QPF

iirc that monitor is in fact, slightly blue out of the box

[mortal grail]

ye

[mortal grail]

ye

[mortal grail]

ye

[viral heron]

Best way I can describe it is like warm

[mortal grail]

hm guess I heard wrong about it being blue

[viral heron]

Idk maybe it is I prolly have something wrong

Adjusting brightness in game helps a bit but still looks wack

[mortal grail]

well more importantly

has it stuttered yet

cos the second option is HDR stays off always

[viral heron]

The FPS has been perfect, I haven't tabbed out much tho only couple times

So not sure yet

[mortal grail]

yeah if it's not consistently still causing problems by now then it had something to do with changed settings or pausing/resuming drivers

[viral heron]

All good so far, I'll try to tab out a ton over the next hour or so

It's def something with the monitor tho (the tint) cuz my 2nd monitor looks normal

2nd monitor is AOC c27g2

[sinful blade]

I finally got this in the mail after waiting to get approved for weeks

I can now help someone if they’re ODing

[sinful blade]

For those unaware, narcan is basically “don’t die on me” for anyone suffering from an overdose of something like crack

It’s free to those who apply and get approved for it. You can get it for yourself, or to just be a mindful person for the general public(what I got it for)

https://youtu.be/ghT7G_9xyDU?si=APibGXCFblbbQw9z

[viral heron]

Is it bad that my PC is plugged directly into a wall outlet

A couple people were telling me I need a surge protector / uninterruptible power supply

[devout forum]

You can do that, it's not gonna immediately cause the PC &to explode

But you could end up shafted if your power line or house gets struck by lightning and a sudden big power spike kills your PSU and potentially the whole thing

It's not mandatory but heavily recommended

And please don't buy those noname yard sale "surge protectors"

Those are useless

Try something more like an APC SurgeArrest

Or a UPS

That both gives a battery backup and protects your PC

[viral heron]

Is there like a wattage requirement or a specific amount I need?

[devout forum]

I mean you can get a cheapo "surge protected" power strip and plug that into a SurgeArrest (which is what I'll do myself because that power strip was all I had)

[devout forum]

Not on a surge protector
UPS is a little more complicated

Depends on how much power your PC consumes and how much of a buffer you want in terms of time you can have before the PC shuts off

[viral heron]

This is my PSU https://pcpartpicker.com/product/H4MMnQ/deepcool-px850g-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-r-px850g-fc0b-us

So does that mean my PC only consumes 850w?

[devout forum]

Uh

It probably consumes less

The PSU is good up to 850 watts peak

What CPU and GPU do you have?

[viral heron]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bbxmHG

[devout forum]

That's probably more of a useful metric for me

[viral heron]

That's the whole build

[devout forum]

Oh okay so 500 watts tops

Alright
240v or 120v?

Or whatever US has for voltage from the wall

[viral heron]

I have no idea tbh 😅

[devout forum]

Where do you live then

[viral heron]

Connecticut USA

[devout forum]

Okay so 115v

[atomic current]

Realistically if the wrath of the universe really did bear down on your household electronics with bazillions of volts/amps in the frame of a fraction of a second, you're not gonna have much you can do to make a difference

[devout forum]

A good UPS can

[tranquil pebble]

Toxic DS gatekeepers are going to hate me lol

[atomic current]

No

[devout forum]

Sure the UPS would die
But it'd protect the PC

[wary fjord]

ups with fuse + mobo with fuse+ psu with fuse

one of them will pop xD

save ur components live

[devout forum]

Yeah

Anyhow

[viral heron]

It's 110v apparently

[tranquil pebble]

some UPSs have a circuit breaker instead of a fuse. Mine is like that

[devout forum]

@viral heron I'd recommend getting at least a 900VA UPS

[wary fjord]

i dont think mobo with fuse still a thing today or they change it i dont know xD my 2006 pc has fuse xD

[atomic current]

A UPS allows slightly prolonged use of electrical stuff under loss of power

[devout forum]

That'd give you like 10 minutes of headroom to safely save your work and shut your computer down
And it'd save it from lightning strikes and so on

[wary fjord]

ups equip protection as your ups does xD

overcurrent

overloading

inrush

good one does

[devout forum]

900VA is still in the price range where a good quality one is still affordable to most

[atomic current]

And surge protectors can only be expected to deal with the instabilities of poorly managed power grids, not the might of Zeus

[devout forum]

Anything larger and they get really pricey

[wary fjord]

also the faster ups relay switch the better switching from battery to source and vice versa.. u should match it on your ups power to hold the charge

if ups takes too long to switch and ups already loses its charge xD

it just shutting down

[tranquil pebble]

mine is a 1500 VA unit

[viral heron]

https://www.staples.com/apc-back-ups-900va-battery-backup-surge-protector-9-outlets-black-bvn900m1/product_2259350?cid=PS:GS:SBD:PMAX:Facilities&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-ZPVg5WuhQMV7qBaBR08JgMUEAQYASABEgIzvPD_BwE

[wary fjord]

i upgraded mine to 2000va

[viral heron]

What is VA

[tranquil pebble]

1500 was the highest they had in a store

[devout forum]

VoltAmps
The capacity measure of UPS batteries

[wary fjord]

i just need to find higher AH battery small enough to fit on the ups

and make sure the wire are thicc enough

[devout forum]

900VA should give you roughly 10-15 minutes when you use a 500w power consumption computer on it at full bore

IIRC

[wary fjord]

its capacity of the battery xD

[devout forum]

Plenty of time and spare capacity to add your router to it so you don't use internet in a power outage for a while

[wary fjord]

1500 = 900w

[tranquil pebble]

its more complicated than that. It is "apparent power", not real power/actual power which is in watts instead of VA. Alternating current is complex like that

[devout forum]

Huh
TMYK

But I'm trying to help them understand it in layman terms

[viral heron]

Yeah I'm dumb so thank you

[wary fjord]

when u buy ups mostly u do it by.. looking on your pc wall draw.. the x2 of that.. and look for ups that can handle that wattage

[viral heron]

So a 900VA UPS would be enough power for my 850w PSU and protect it from any surges or whatever?

[devout forum]

I think you'd not exceed 500 watts on a 7800X3D and a 7900XTX

900VA covers that for at least 5-10 minutes

[wary fjord]

if ur ups is lower than your pc wall draw.. u gonna damage ups xD because it will beeep due to overloading

i think

[devout forum]

Which is plenty

[wary fjord]

ups is for u to shutdown ur pc properly

its not for backup

xD

in instant of sudden power loss

[devout forum]

It's useful to have like 5 minutes

[wary fjord]

and ur project still unsave

quick shut down before u corrupt ur save files

[devout forum]

Yeah

5 minutes is enough for that

[devout forum]

That should be perfectly fine

[viral heron]

Idrc care about lost work or anything, I just don't want my pc to get bricked during a storm or something

[wary fjord]

ow yeah it will be nice if u buy ups that has pure sine wave 🙂

incase ur psu not strong enough to handle simulated one

[viral heron]

Idk if this is rlly dumb but is it possible for it to get bricked if like my house is using a lot of power? Like if someone is vacuuming and I have a dehumidifier on and other stuff

[devout forum]

APC makes the good stuff

[viral heron]

Cuz sometimes when someone vacuums or I turn my pc on the light flickers for a split second

[wary fjord]

i mean psu

[devout forum]

Nah that's not gonna do much
Simple load balancing methinks

You'll be fine

[wary fjord]

he got this

i convince my friend to buy ups

a video where i tell him xD "now test it" because in past days he was scared to test it.. i think he build up courage

[viral heron]

Ok thanks a bunch for the info and help. So basically i just plug the UPS into the walls and the pc into the UPS? And can other stuff go into the UPS as well?

[wary fjord]

hear that beep

[viral heron]

Like my monitors and light on my desk

[wary fjord]

this what he got i wish this available on my country

pure sinewave under 200 bucks

1500va

[atomic current]

I kinda don't want a UPS anymore

I have reliable power lol

[wary fjord]

texas people could use ups

and my country too

where power is christmas light

out of no where

[tranquil pebble]

anyone can use UPS... they're great

[viral heron]

What is reliable power defined by

[atomic current]

No power outages like the exurban neighborhood I used to live in

[tranquil pebble]

ofc some people need them more than others

[viral heron]

I lose power like once a year from a storm or something that knocks down the lines on my room

[wary fjord]

he probably live in zero down time city

xd

[atomic current]

I haven't lost power here at all I don't think

[wary fjord]

u guys are lucky

[viral heron]

Could it brick my pc if I lost power to my house? Not like a direct lightning strike or anything but just if the power went out

[wary fjord]

also it makes me comfortable to update bios if i have ups xD

because sometimes luck is not on my side

xD

suddently it go blackout

[atomic current]

It's not even a high priority part of the San Diego area, it's just in a town area instead of being outside of that in the suburbs, so I get super reliable power

[wary fjord]

hmm there might be small chance that happen xD if u updating bios

and u lost power

[tranquil pebble]

the BIOS on my mobo can still be updated even if it gets corrupt. BMC moment.

[atomic current]

Power outages aren't good for computers but they won't likely destroy your computer or the data that is already saved

[wary fjord]

or updating windows while lost power. saw a vid about that before .. "what would happen if you cut off the power while windows is updating"

[atomic current]

It's like pulling the plug, flipping the power strip or PSU switch, just means loss of power

[tranquil pebble]

Power outages themselves do no harm to computers... its the potential surge that might... as well as if it happens while the computer is running you could have corrupt data.

[north crescent]

Loss of power can cause potential corruption to any file being written to (OS, game, word docs, work stuff, etc). Overvoltage from power surge can have a fun time with the computer tho

[wary fjord]

you know how program are fast because they put stuff on ram before writing it on a disk.

[tranquil pebble]

cache basically

[wary fjord]

so when sudden loss comes up

[viral heron]

What exactly is a power surge other than like a direct lightning strike

[tranquil pebble]

Windows does this with file I/O anyways

most OSes probably do

lose power before that cache/buffer gets written... and well, rip data

if it happens during the write, you now have potentially corrupt files

[wary fjord]

suddenloss hurts windows chan xD ur pc is constant reading writing.. there might be a part where it dint finish reading or writing due to power loss

now when opening the file

its garbage text

like my php project xD

[atomic current]

Imagine electricity like flowing water, sometimes the water flow can be cut off with a dam, and sometimes water flow can be overwhelming during a surge event

[wary fjord]

bruh

[tranquil pebble]

a UPS is nice because when the power goes out, it gives you and the PC a chance to finish up and shut down properly

[wary fjord]

my php files turn into garbage text alien stuff

just because of sudden power loss

[atomic current]

Surging water causes damage, and so does surging electrical current, so we try to build infrastructure to protect us from damage

[wary fjord]

using git never crossed my mind back in a day xD but its a good way to combat sudden project corruption in development xd

[viral heron]

So the UPS just takes the brunt of the surge so the PC remains unharmed essentially

[atomic current]

Surge protector

Not ups

[tranquil pebble]

UPS also keeps power to the PC during the outage via a battery

[atomic current]

Though UPS will have a surge protector built in

[tranquil pebble]

it wont last long, but it gives enough time to prevent data loss

[wary fjord]

u can think ups as making a clean power xD like if u have dirty wall power

ups can fix that

too

abnormality in the source ups doesnt like it

it beep

[atomic current]

I just give up in that situation

[wary fjord]

yeah nowadays its a combo

theres also a bypass

[atomic current]

Can't buy ups too much moner

[viral heron]

Ok thanks

[wary fjord]

back up + surge and the other half is bypass

[tranquil pebble]

my UPS literally found an electrical fault in my home for me, which then allowed me to get it fixed

[viral heron]

Yeah I'm pretty sure the one I'm looking at is a combo

https://www.staples.com/apc-back-ups-900va-battery-backup-surge-protector-9-outlets-black-bvn900m1/product_2259350?cid=PS:GS:SBD:PMAX:Facilities&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-ZPVg5WuhQMV7qBaBR08JgMUEAQYASABEgIzvPD_BwE

[atomic current]

I've been in this house for a few years and nobody's done anything about the weird electrical wiring bs

Landlord is my grandparents and they don't do anything about anything if it doesn't affect them

[wary fjord]

its fine its optional xD its a good protection

you can think of it as insurance

xD

u not getting on accident

u still pay for it

xd

because maybe one day right?

[velvet summit]

this is only rated for 354 joules, which isnt very high

[wary fjord]

ups can detect short too

protect u from lightning some of them have ethernet port at the back

its for just those people that spend 5 grand on a pc

must have ups

xD

even my whole pc isnt worth a grand xD i still bought one for me

[surreal kernel]

Wait bro

Holy hell

Anyone here has played cyberpunk

And finished it?

[wary fjord]

no i play it for mods

[surreal kernel]

Have you finished the story or

[wary fjord]

strolling on the city

taking picture

then end the game

[surreal kernel]

Because there was this one mission

yk the heist one

[wary fjord]

never xD i dont think i will finish it tbh xd

[surreal kernel]

Damn

[wary fjord]

i dint even finish gta v and i have that game since 2013

[surreal kernel]

I need to ask someone that has finished it

Ab something

I think I messed up

[wary fjord]

ask ggood

he like that game so much

[surreal kernel]

Dont want ping them

Wana

[worthy meteor]

What mission

[wary fjord]

he said heist one

[worthy meteor]

The mission where you steal the chip?

[surreal kernel]

Yes that one

The end basicly

After you get shot by dexter

And you are alive and all that Johnny silver hand bs

In the car chase at the end of it

Where you crash to a pole and a guy is stuck between the car and the pole

The oen that has blades on his arma

I got distracted and didn't finish him

Time ran out

I'm afraid bro gon come after me

I thought I was killing the Korean guy instead

[worthy meteor]

I don't think that's a named character or anything like that

Just throwaway

[surreal kernel]

It was yellow tho idk

The choice

Plus the timer

[worthy meteor]

You can go with the arasaka guy and not do the arasaka ending in the end

[surreal kernel]

Well I trusted him and went to vik

I'm at lizzies bar rn where I'm looking for Evelyn

[worthy meteor]

You can continue as normal

[surreal kernel]

Ah alright

[worthy meteor]

You're far from the actual ending of the game

[surreal kernel]

Was there no way of saving Jackie?

[worthy meteor]

Nope

[surreal kernel]

Damm

[worthy meteor]

Canon event

[surreal kernel]

That's messed up

[worthy meteor]

You may or may not see him again though ;)

[surreal kernel]

Wait

Bro 😭

[worthy meteor]

Finish the game and you'll see

[surreal kernel]

Is bro like reincarnated

Just like Johnny

[worthy meteor]

Nah

[surreal kernel]

Or something

[rancid juniper]

are yall talking about cyberpunk rn?

[worthy meteor]

You'll see

Yea

[rancid juniper]

heh

[surreal kernel]

I'm so glad that fatt dex got a bullet through his head

[surreal kernel]

I guessed it did i

Predictable ahh lore

[rancid juniper]

early early game

enjoy the rest

[surreal kernel]

I'm doing side missions thinking it's short

Someone told me that

[worthy meteor]

Yea uh that heist is where the real game starts

Not ends

[rancid juniper]

^^^

[surreal kernel]

Damn

Ima buy phantom liberty

Ig

Idk if I should buy it rn since its on sale but its like 5 euros

One more question

Was it smart that I paid Dex before the heist

I felt bad

Vik*

21k was it

Idk I fought some guy that had 2 bodies got the money and paid him off for the upgrades

Incase something like this happened and he wouldn't wana med me , which it did

[worthy meteor]

Paying vik can be done at any time

I did it right before I finished the game lol

[surreal kernel]

I wasted my damn money

21k

[surreal kernel]

There is other people where you can get upgrades from right

Ripperdocs ?

[rancid juniper]

DLC on sale?

i was considering it

[surreal kernel]

5% off

[rancid juniper]

bruh

[surreal kernel]

5 euros

Mb

Same thing

[worthy meteor]

Phantom liberty is great

I'd recommend it

[surreal kernel]

Idk if I should buy it rn or later but oh well

[rancid juniper]

still $30 on gog

BRUH

[worthy meteor]

Yea different ripperdocs have different selections of cyberware

[surreal kernel]

Oh damm

Thought vik Was the best

[worthy meteor]

Some are unique to certain ones

I think the general prices are the same

[surreal kernel]

Idk what upgrades I should get

[worthy meteor]

Depends on your build

[surreal kernel]

25 euros on steam

[worthy meteor]

Just grab what you want

[rancid juniper]

i only have the gog version

[surreal kernel]

What's that

[rancid juniper]

CDPR's game launcher

[worthy meteor]

Different storefront

[rancid juniper]

^

[surreal kernel]

Ohhh

[rancid juniper]

basically a store where there is no DRM

just wish it had more AAA/newer titles

would be awesome

[surreal kernel]

lowk wana buy god of war
