[grand kernel]

helped my friend fix her pc and she said she's making her firstborn's middle name my name

curious if she's really gonna follow through with that tbh LOL

[reef shard]

That would be an interesting convo if they ever ask how it came about

[icy ore]

[obsidian prawn]

Did anyone see the eclipse?

[icy ore]

Hardly was cloudy

[tranquil pebble]

What's the easiest Linux distro for gaming on? The reason it needs to be Linux is there is a particular game that seems to only be able to run on Proton/Wine

[dusk trail]

that sounds like nonsense, unless its like a really old game

for an old windows version

[tranquil pebble]

It is a game that hates new versions of Windows but also requires Steam

Proton is the most sane way to run it

[dusk trail]

get the non steam version for free somewhere

gotta be old enough to be mad easy to pirate

i dont know the answer to your initial question

hence the other questions

[tranquil pebble]

maybe I'll try Windows 7 in a VM

that was the version this game was made for

[dusk trail]

oh thats not that old

[tranquil pebble]

Windows 11 completely breaks it

as does 10

[dusk trail]

just get windows 7 dual boot

find away around the steam requirement

[tranquil pebble]

Can a Threadripper even do that with Win 7?

[dusk trail]

thats all i can think of

[dusk trail]

should be able to

i question the treadripper though...

get a normal person cpu lmao

[tranquil pebble]

I will for my next build

[dusk trail]

i3 14100f

win 7

[tranquil pebble]

this build was a one off for the hell of it build

but yeah now I'm curious if the game will run ok in a VM

[tranquil pebble]

ok ill get a xeon /j

most likely going to get a 7800x3d or something in all seriousness

[velvet summit]

i kinda want a threadripper

though it'll end up being so expensive lmao

maybe i should stick with a 10000 pi cluster frfr

[tranquil pebble]

its not worth how much they cost

[velvet summit]

it's more of a "fun" than "value" kinda thing tbh

[tranquil pebble]

yeah

[velvet summit]

though honestly speaking, im more lacking in ram than cpu

except for in vr, im lacking in cpu for vr, i need to upgrade my cpu for that

[rough marlin]

Yeah but it was happening on integrated too so just odd

[velvet summit]

but 32gb ram aint cutting it

[tranquil pebble]

ik someone who uses 200 tabs open on Windows 11 with only 16 GB of RAM... and its killing their SSD

[velvet summit]

💀

[tranquil pebble]

I did tell them why they should knock that off though

[velvet summit]

maybe i should just jump to 128gb ram so i dont have to worry about ram usage anymore frfr /hj

[tranquil pebble]

if it wasn't so expensive Id put 2 TB of RAM in my PC

[velvet summit]

real

i doubt that i would need 2tb of ram though lmao

idk if i could even use it all

[tacit geode]

@dusk knot i was lucky that my apartment is the perfeect spot to see the sun today

so i was able to see it the whole time

[dusk knot]

Amazing. You're very fortunate

[tacit geode]

yeah i was sick today so couldnt do much just stayed at home

[dusk knot]

A lot of people were disappointed with those evil clouds

[tacit geode]

yeah it was 100% clear today

and almost 70

[dusk knot]

I was able to drive 3 hours south to Ohio from Niagara falls.

[tacit geode]

wat

get out of the northeast

i dont want you up here

go back to florida

[dusk knot]

Breh

What state are you in?

[tacit geode]

NH

[dusk knot]

I won't be visiting you 💀

Ok

[tacit geode]

so two states away from you

it goes NY VT NH

[dusk knot]

[idle nexus]

I think with 10900K they stretched the architecture too far or something & there were issues... heck I can't find this really good explanation about it. I'll keep looking

[keen wind]

serious question, are there any consoles coming out soon or at least any plans of new releases?

[rancid juniper]

14nm++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

there was bound to be a limit

[craggy shoal]

Needs more +

[rancid juniper]

any more and the cpu disintegrates

👀

[magic sinew]

I'm not sure the user is ready for Linux... But I might try tiny11

[idle nexus]

@rancid juniper @mighty hazel read Falkentyne's post here for a better explanation of what happened with 10900K https://rog-forum.asus.com/t5/intel-500-400-series/maximus-13-and-rocket-lake-the-rules-have-changed/m-p/812999

[velvet summit]

im doing company research for a project

also i made a mistake on q42016, it's 44.8m in profit

[swift sable]

Yea thats for my company

Please don't post our financial info like that 😔

[craggy shoal]

yeah bro that's not cool. those companies live very private lives and they wouldn't disrespect your privacy like you just did

[velvet summit]

💀

this is a publicly traded company

[north crescent]

You're a publicly traded company

[velvet summit]

im just going through their investors relations page LMFAO

[craggy shoal]

ur mom is in my bedroom

[craggy shoal]

am I stupid or did Razer just disable RGB configuration on your devices so you have to look around all the garbage in their stupid program?

[idle nexus]

use OpenRGB & install OpenRazer plug-in

[craggy shoal]

bett forgot about this thanks

man that fixed it quick

thanks bro

[north crescent]

Razur acting like they have $0 for software funds

[craggy shoal]

And Asus and MSI

[idle nexus]

lol oh nice it worked? I was frantically looking for the OpenRazer thing to send you a lin k

but seems like OpenRGB suppoerts a lot of Razer stuff

[craggy shoal]

didn't even need the plugin for what I wanted to do

[idle nexus]

154 devices according to their website

[craggy shoal]

Just wanted plain white. And OpenRGB found my Basilisk instantly

[idle nexus]

oh EZ then

seems like most stuff except like TeamGroup & AMD GPUs are supported

ig this is for Razer Chroma RGB controller https://gitlab.com/OpenRGBDevelopers/OpenRGBRazerExtrasPlugin

which I have... hmm maybe I should download it lol

it's been like 4 years & I still have trouble figuring out how to downlaod things off github lol

I don't really see any changes but whatever

[rough zinc]

Me

[gentle canyon]

Surreal.

Such a wild thing to experience, glad the weather somewhat held and it was only thin clouds

[dusk knot]

Nice

Honestly it was better than the one in 2017

You could actually see the solar prominences ( the purple flares) with your naked eye.

[lone mango]

[gentle canyon]

it was wild to see the prominences, I was too young to really remember/understand the one in 2017, i think we got a partial but it might of been cloudy I cant remember

[dusk knot]

Well congrats, you just saw a real eclipse

👍

Not 99 percent, but 100

It's a big difference

[gentle canyon]

for sure, I think I was almost dead center in the path too so I got just under 4 minutes

[dusk knot]

That's about right

For me it was 3 mins and 48 seconds

Felt shorter ):

[dusk knot]

In 20 years if you're not traveling, take photos with a dedicated camera.

[gentle canyon]

i think I got like 2 more seconds lol

[dusk knot]

Next one is in 2026 in Greenland Iceland, and Spain.

[gentle canyon]

I wanted to try with my dobsonian but I didnt want to try and DIY a filter and I just wanted to enjoy it.

plus people are gonna get better pictures than me anyway so

[dusk knot]

That's fine if it's your first

True

I took a great one this time

[gentle canyon]

show

[dusk knot]

Took 125 photos, 2 were bad

[gentle canyon]

thats awesome

[dusk knot]

Yeah. Almost never got an image of I stayed in Niagara falls

Two days of clear skies turned into clouds last minute

[gentle canyon]

thats what I was so worried about

I was going to be so mad for a eclipse I legit watched from my driveway be ruined by ohio weather lol

[mortal grail]

That would make the newspaper

[gentle canyon]

I bought solar binoculars for it from celestron

[dusk knot]

Fr

@mortal grail

[gentle canyon]

I could see it being put in one especially if you are in a smaller town

[dusk knot]

I was in Geneva, Ohio

You must have been miles away lol

[gentle canyon]

I live like 40ish miles west of cleveland like a mile and a half from the lake

[dusk knot]

I noticed the thin clouds in your video, They were the same where I was

[dusk knot]

Aaaah....I was 25 mins away north lol

[gentle canyon]

wouldnt the north be the lake

[dusk knot]

What was awesome was I saw a C-130 fly by low a few minutes before the eclipse and during the dimming part. I heard a cannon or something nearby. I thought it was a nuke for a second. 💀 @gentle canyon

[gentle canyon]

my neighborhood had fireworks and stuff go off super loud. it was so cool to hear everyone cheering since on my street there was only a few people, you could hear everyone

[dusk knot]

Cool

[gentle canyon]

the most surreal thing I think was like right before 2:00 looking at it with my binoculars realizing the sun wasnt a perfect circle

[dusk knot]

Trueee

It didn't feel real

[gentle canyon]

cause this is something I remember first hearing about in like 5th grade and ive been graduated for almost a year

[dusk knot]

Were you able to see sun spots?

[gentle canyon]

very faintly yes

i have unsteady hands and there were light clouds

[dusk knot]

Rip

[gentle canyon]

my bios were x10 mag

still worth getting them though

was cool to be able to get a view a majority of others couldnt

[dusk knot]

Most people didn't prepare at all for the event. They think just buying solar glasses is enough..smh. Best to prepare months in advance and buy gear. @gentle canyon

You did more than 95 percent of people

[gentle canyon]

it was an impulse buy like 2 weeks out lol

[dusk knot]

When impulses are worth it

[gentle canyon]

idk what to do now

the past month was me looking forward to that lol

[atomic current]

Make pinhole cameras

[kindred sluice]

I just saw this picture on Reddit.

Sus

[gentle canyon]

almost millions were looking at the same event

with similar gear

in similar locations

[dusk knot]

I took it myself..it looks the same everywhere 🗿

[kindred sluice]

because everyone uses the exact same settings and camera with the exact moment the ejections and all that jazz?

[dusk knot]

Im still processing more images later

[gentle canyon]

you have to or you wont get a good image i believe

since you are looking at the sun

[dusk knot]

Kinda of..there's a standard range that DLSRs and Mirrorless cameras have to meet to have good exposures.

[gentle canyon]

cameras and telescopes I want to get into more but they are so complicated

[dusk knot]

Once you learn them.. they're not

[kindred sluice]

and expensive

[dusk knot]

Sadly they are

I already spent more than a grand for my equipment

To take the photo

[gentle canyon]

my two hobbys I really want to learn more about and properly get into rn are amateur astronomy and PCs, not a good combo for my bank account at 19

[dusk knot]

And is considered a "budget" setup....

[dusk knot]

Same same

[kindred sluice]

I went heavy into PC's and watercooling because I got tired of spending money on my car

[dusk knot]

Cars suck tbh

For maintenance ofc

[gentle canyon]

2010 ford fusion

[young matrix]

Niceee

[dusk knot]

Thanks 😎@young matrix

Practice makes perfect

[young matrix]

I wanna get into videography but holy its expensive

Photography on the side but mostly video

[dusk knot]

Those lens

☠️

[gentle canyon]

this was last year around this time I think

[kindred sluice]

Well I'll wait for JP to post more photos from the eclipse. The weird lense flare on the bright part looks super strange to me

[dusk knot]

It's not a lens flare. That's the phenomena called Bailey's beads.

[gentle canyon]

is like the big white cloud you see in the super long exposure and edited pictures

let me find one hold om

[dusk knot]

Kk

[gentle canyon]

this

[young matrix]

Not even that, i can probably get away with using an af/adjustable lens for most of my stuff

Problem is finding a good mirrorless thats cheap and has the features i need

[dusk knot]

I took the image the second or two after the moon started to move away from the sun

[dusk knot]

2017. I remember. My shutter speed for that one shot was too quick to show that. I have other images that display it.

[kindred sluice]

Like I said. I'm just waiting for the photo dump

[dusk knot]

Soon

@kindred sluice if you want proof I'll show you my camera screen 💀

Here's the original images on screen.

Well this one is 1/1000, the other is 1/2000

But taken a fraction of a second apart

[tranquil pebble]

The actual problem ended up even more bizarre... the game didnt run because I have too many cores. I had to disable half of my cores to get it to run.

you can disable it and all but

[tranquil pebble]

it still lets you change default but only via gui

[pseudo raven]

yeah

[tranquil pebble]

nobody asked for this change but it is what it is

ya, it's just weird

[wary fjord]

i feel pitty for microsoft xD they trying their best to tell you edge = chrome because they both use chromium why bother changing..

the thing they dont understand is people doesnt like syncing their browser info using a microsoft account xD

when u search google chrome at edge a popup about try edge will show xD or if u download chrome another popup about why you should edge instead of chrome will popup

[weak cedar]

i wouldn't say they suck i mean it had a ryzen apu in it

truck is dumb though but liquid cooling the charging cable and battery is smart then letting air just cool it down and being able to limit and regulate the batter is a nice function instead of 100% of every charge

so i hate him but like his ideas, look at starlink he basically beat everyone else within 2 years, visat had to change the contract which they ripped us off. viasat had a $15 early termination fee, well to compete with starlink they just got rid of it

A. 129.99
B. 249.99 which gives you 500Gb of 30mbps speeds

[wary fjord]

that looks like a scam price

200 bucks for 30 mbps xD

[weak cedar]

welcome to viasat

[wary fjord]

if u want fast cheaper 1gbps go to india xD maybe the state u in the paying lots of bills

thats why they make customer shoulder it

1gbps cost 100 bucks here xD

but on india much cheaper

[weak cedar]

illinois

rural areas country you don't get many chocies

but they just got rid of it to compete with starlink

[wary fjord]

is ILinois

chickago

[weak cedar]

chicago

[wary fjord]

ok ok

https://www.astound.com/chicago/shop/

have u see nthis ?

[weak cedar]

well not there i'm rural so outside

[wary fjord]

look at that

they offer service around ur area

1.5G for 55 a month

[weak cedar]

i wish

like i'm small town country

[wary fjord]

its broadband

its not fiber

they can get u connected everywhere

xD

u just need their dish or something i guess

[wary fjord]

aw

😦

but u can call

do you have a huge land?

u can rent that lot

[weak cedar]

forest mainly

[wary fjord]

for their tower

thats how expanding works in broadband

u get money xD too

[weak cedar]

we have a 4g version tower half a mile away 😄 not 5g sadly

[wary fjord]

do you have future plan to move somewhere? or u are ok with your internet situation

xD its pain to see to pay 250 bucks for internet

i mean its not that bad thats like 8 hours of uber

[weak cedar]

well apparntly the where i work a company has a monoply on thw town so maybe

[wary fjord]

metro seems nice

how much

[weak cedar]

although we are rural so no fiber

or dsl since we don't havea phone connection

[wary fjord]

ur place is under develop :3

who own t hat city

omg

[weak cedar]

we tried frontier internet but nope

i'm near chicago but not in it

[wary fjord]

3g -> 4g -> dsl -> fiber -> 5g -> this 5 should be nearby u

[weak cedar]

i'm not in the city

south

the phones lines at some point along the road drop from 3 wire to 2 wire

[wary fjord]

welp

[weak cedar]

so ya starlink was our best and really only option

[wary fjord]

but chicago is hot place ? or nah

[weak cedar]

< not in chicago

[wary fjord]

caution starlink is pretty strict xD

if u visiting some weird sites xD

[weak cedar]

is it? never tested it

frontier apparntly don't track you since it had unlimited data i asked one day to see how much i used they reply we don't keep track

[wary fjord]

i found this at reddit

as example

he tested it how strict it is

[weak cedar]

o rip

here is chicago area circled

i don't live there taxes are way too high

[wary fjord]

also

1tb is their soft cap

for bw

if u go above that in a month

ur connection will go slow

[weak cedar]

thats not terrible better then soft cap at 50gb at 6mbps

[wary fjord]

i mean not bad 1tb seems alot

but when u watching yt

u dont know really xD

some videos are large

it can stack up so quick

u dint notice u alraedy using 100gb a day

xD

[weak cedar]

ya i'm not watchinga nything in 4k

i use around almost 500gb last month it seems

but with 2 families my brother and his wife and my mom and dad

[wary fjord]

also if u are wanted by fed

[weak cedar]

which is why the whole questionable apartment thing since it's 1k to work next to work or 900$ 6 blocks down

[wary fjord]

they wont hesitate to give ur data

xD

[weak cedar]

sadly thats what we have to deal with

[wary fjord]

i mean ur a good boy nothing to worry about xD but people that consider it that is not good at following law xd

must not use starlink

[weak cedar]

thats like everyone

[wary fjord]

in a good thing they uses their own band

nice it wont interfer on any normie bands

their dish tends to get hot

[weak cedar]

a good number of people break the law every year with fireworks for example it's illigale to cross the state and fire them in in Illinois, but we all do it anyways

[wary fjord]

same here

xD

but they wont stop it anyway

because

thats no fun xD

they turn blind eye when countdown starts

[weak cedar]

i need to sleep

[craggy shoal]

I'm lowkey thinking that I won't need to upgrade my CPU (13700K) for a while, and I just hopped on the DDR5 (32GB) platform almost a year ago when I built this PC. I really should only upgrade memory and the GPU when the time comes

I know Windows 11 was only released a couple years ago, but I bet it'll become even less optimized than it currently is (not that it's optimized now), just like how Windows 10 was (from beginning to EOL)

so I'm thinking a memory upgrade (and GPU upgrade when the time comes) is a smart upgrade

[velvet summit]

Wait, it has been a couple years of windows 11 already?

[craggy shoal]

Released October 5, 2021

[velvet summit]

Oh

[icy ore]

Does rebar not work if im using an intel cpu with amd gpu?

[elfin mural]

rebar will still work

but not sam

[wooden marten]

Arent those the same though?

[wary fjord]

u cant argue with it xD

u want to play right? xD

[unreal trail]

not anymore

[rancid juniper]

ugh

[elfin mural]

well.. yes, but the thing is

sam is limited to amd cpu and amd gpu combo

i think

[wooden marten]

But they offer the same preformance?

[elfin mural]

i unno

forgot about all these stuff

[wooden marten]

bc istg if I have to switch to ryzen and buy a new mobo im losing it

Now is the time

Like right now

[surreal kernel]

cyberpunk players

I need your help

should I accept Brigittes offer

I don't trust her

[sinful blade]

I’m not one but I’m going to say yes
I have no knowledge about the game at all

So you can’t yell at me

[surreal kernel]

ty

[chrome portal]

shouyld i put my tqax return in savings or buy a 4090

[sinful blade]

Up to you

[chrome portal]

no

up to you

[sinful blade]

I will always suggest 4090

[mental yoke]

IM SO HAPPY OMG

[sinful blade]

I am not trustworthy

[mental yoke]

THE SWITCH GAME I WANT IS ON SALEEEEE

YAYY

but unfortunately only the physical one is not the digital

[elfin mural]

lol

yet people have been exploiting the heck outta it

anti cheat moment

[idle nexus]

Big Brother Friend

[tranquil pebble]

I refuse to use certain anticheats. Vanguard is one of them.

[elfin mural]

running in kernel mode

what could go wrong

[idle nexus]

heck ig I'll do 3 1tb M.2s in this build... I'd like to put at least one 2tb but I'll live

[tranquil pebble]

kernel mode isnt even the main issue for me... its stuff like blocking things on the PC

[elfin mural]

that's part of the issue

it acts like antivirus

[idle nexus]

oh heck... this board holds 4 M.2s

[tranquil pebble]

and running when the game isnt in some cases which is pure insanity

[elfin mural]

vanguard is a very bad antivirus confirmed

[idle nexus]

I'll do 1tb SN850 for C:\ ; 1tb P41; 1tb Sabrent Rocket 4.0

wait... gotta check if 4th M.2 messes with x16 PCIe thing tho

okay nvm it only reduces the amount of SATA SSDs I could put which doesn't matter at all

[elfin mural]

ever since i reinstalled windows on my laptop

i stopped using any antivirus

only windef

[idle nexus]

killed defender?

oh I never use anything but defender

[elfin mural]

mostly coz im lazy

[idle nexus]

& most of the time I wanna get rid of defender too

[elfin mural]

i usually use kaspersky

[velvet summit]

i have malwarebytes free and malwarebytes premium

though i think the premium one expired by now

i bought a 2 year subscription around 2 years ago

[surreal kernel]

bro

did I really have to kill Brigitte

after she

tried helping me

[velvet summit]

???

[sinful blade]

Destiny is back on its feet

[idle nexus]

she just wants to use you to get to uh, whatever that blonde lady's name is that was kinda with Johnny

to use the Blackwall

[lone mango]

You will get margin of error type of gains

[lone mango]

Guess no more gaming

[lone mango]

That's so crazy that game is like an abusive relationship

Then it dips back down to like 40k or lower

Good thing they have a community that has addicts

They make good content once in a blue moon to make good memories and get people hooked to then underdeliver time and time again to make those poor souls remember the good times of the game, so they keep playing in hopes of it becoming good again

Which varies from player to player

[sinful blade]

This is an actually good dlc

Unlike the last 2

[lone mango]

Like most people atm ima wait for it to come out

People said that every expansion

[wary fjord]

Sleep

[surreal kernel]

I killed her

with my own hands

I pulled out the weapon by accident

and hit her in the head with a 100kg hammer

that I got earlier

in game

[surreal kernel]

I wanted to press " I was just getting out of here "

but I pressed the other dialog option which triggered a boss fight

and then I killed the other big dude too

I think I forgot to loot him he probbaly had a iconic weapon

[wary fjord]

XD good thing its in game

[surreal kernel]

lmao

I'm afraid i made the wrong choices

[cursive oasis]

How is 4k four times better than 1080p when the resolution is only double?

I've seen something in a store saying that

[velvet summit]

wdym

4k is 4x 1080p

you can fit 4 1080p monitors in a 4k display

you can fit 2 1080p monitors into a 1440 display

you can fit 8 1080p monitors in a 8k display

wait was it 8? or was it 16

it was 16

you can fit 4 4k monitors into an 8k display iirc

[wary fjord]

Tldr: more pixel

Text will be clear too like super clear even at small font

U dont have to use anti alias for 4k

It has enough pixel to hide jagged lines xD

1080p for competitive use
1440p for balance
4k for eye candy screenshot xd

[tranquil pebble]

8k for melting your gpu

[proud jackal]

1440p isn't two, 1440p is only 33% most screen space isn't it?

[velvet summit]

i forget

[proud jackal]

More*

[velvet summit]

i only remember that 4k was 4x more than 1080p, and 8k was 4x more than 4k, but i dont remember what it was for 2k

[wary fjord]

Probably.. try to use msaa x4 at 8k res then yeah

Probably it will die

XD its the most demanding aa solution

[tranquil pebble]

Red Faction Armageddon is running at 140 fps and its so smooth. Getting it working on a modern PC was worth it lol.

it only doesn't go higher than 140 because that's the cap with vsync off

yum

[cursive oasis]

ok i see now, thanks. I just thought it was weird that they say 4x, but 3840x2160 is only double of 1920x1080, which isnt what they meant.

[wary fjord]

Hmm

[devout tapir]

I’m not sure where to post this but… Hello. I was just wondering if someone could help me. I’ve had my pc for almost a week now and a few times that I’ve turned it on it just sits at a black screen. (Yes my monitor is on) I can move/see my mouse on the screen but nothing else. How do I fix this?

[viral heron]

@velvet summit

R u online?

I bought the surge protector but the plugs don't go in all the way

Idk how dumb I am but

[velvet summit]

sup, i'm working on a group project

[velvet summit]

push harder, it's most likely just very tight

new outlets are fairly often like this

[viral heron]

I was pushing like almost with full force I'll try again tho

[velvet summit]

and commercial grade sockets especially (this is commercial grade) is even more so

[viral heron]

Yeah nvm I just needed to push really hard, thought I would break it. Thanks

[velvet summit]

yeah np

[viral heron]

Do I plug the electronics in before turning the protector on?

Or does it not matter

[velvet summit]

doesnt matter

[viral heron]

Everything's on but there's nothing on my screen

I have 2 flashing lights on my mobo wtf

[velvet summit]

did you test to see if your system was working prior

[viral heron]

Yeah

Just turned it off like 20 mins ago

[velvet summit]

hmm
might be retraining the ram? are you using ddr5?

[viral heron]

Cpu and dram lights

[fair onyx]

anybody able to help me source some good PC fans for my rig so it can breathe better? my case has a built in fan controller, but I am not too sure what all it has as features

[viral heron]

Alternating flashing

[fair onyx]

this case is not able to keep up with the thermal load I have going on in it. It was never designed for this 😅

[viral heron]

Nah man I'm tweaking right now thinking something broke 😭😭

[velvet summit]

solution: get a better case

[velvet summit]

did it turn on

[viral heron]

Yes it's on

Just no display

And 2 flashing lights

[fair onyx]

I love this case

[velvet summit]

oh i thought that sentence meant that you got it working lmao

[fair onyx]

I also don't have too much money at the moment

I just need 3 fans really, but I wanna try to make sure I get good ones for the controller I have

[velvet summit]

probably outdated now but i use artic p12s

[fair onyx]

Thats what I was thinking as well

[velvet summit]

what mobo is this btw

[fair onyx]

I just need to improve airflow until I can afford to better invest in my rig

[viral heron]

Gigabyte b650 eagle ax

[fair onyx]

I need to land a contract so bad, but that would 100% cover my upgrades

this tiny case is just not made to cool 700+ watts of hardware 😅

[viral heron]

How do I turn off the pc

[fair onyx]

at least, not with only 3 fans lmao

[velvet summit]

since it's not actually booted, you can just flip the power switch, or hold the power button down

[fair onyx]

buth, I can get 1 for $10 or 5 for $24

IIRC, I need 3, and I could replace the back one as well

so the 5 isn't bad

oh, its P12 vs P12 max

not sure what the difference is

[viral heron]

Yeah I think it's actually broke wtf

Wait nvm

It's on

But I plugged it into my outlet

[velvet summit]

☠️

[viral heron]

This is too much stress for me

[velvet summit]

that is quite strange

[fair onyx]

ohhh, the P3 maxes move way more air

[viral heron]

My monitors are both in the surge protector

And my pc is in my wall outlet

[fair onyx]

56.3 vs 81CFM

[velvet summit]

i've used the isobar before for protecting expensive AV equipment

and it works great

though i've never used it for a pc lmao

[fair onyx]

AFAIK, my case fan controller is just fixed speed, I don't think it depends on my PC temp

[viral heron]

Does my 2 monitors with my pc exceed the 12a limit?

No shot right

[fair onyx]

no shot

My PC/monitors can stress it, but even my stuff could run fine on a single outlet

I split across 3 tho

[viral heron]

I hate this man I'm too stressed 😭

[icy ore]

[velvet summit]

that would make no sense lol

[viral heron]

The two that are plugged in are my monitors and my pc was plugged in the circled outlet

[fair onyx]

you should be good

I have a 2600w surge protector that my grandfather used to use for his workshop, so I can run everything off it if I wanted to, but I don't lol

my PC is on it and 2 of my monitors, then my third monitor is on outlet, and my second PSU is on a second outlet as well

[velvet summit]

2600w? that would be a 20a circuit lmao

[fair onyx]

yeah, thats what it was for, but I have it on a 15a circut

[viral heron]

I might just become an electrician at this point this stuff too confusing

[velvet summit]

oh, this is barely even the surface of electrician stuff

[viral heron]

How does it make sense that it didn't boot on the surge protector but it does on the outlet

[fair onyx]

yeah lol

[velvet summit]

you have to worry about 3 phases

[viral heron]

And the monitors work fine on the protector

[fair onyx]

How big is your PSU in your case? The power trip might trigger OCP on the surge protector if its especially sensitive

[velvet summit]

it doesnt trip it from what it seemed

[viral heron]

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

[fair onyx]

Oh yeah, no shot

hmm

have yoyu plugged the monitors into the exact outlet you are trying to use for PC?

[viral heron]

Nah I can try

[fair onyx]

Is there anything on the surge protector that specifies that the individual outlets might only handle a certain amount of power?

it might be a 12 amp surge protector but the outlets may only be like 5 amps or something. I have seen weirder

[viral heron]

There was nothing in the manual but online I was reading there's different outlets for like "noise" or something and they shouldn't all be plugged in a line

[velvet summit]

yeah it has power filtering

[fair onyx]

yeah

[viral heron]

That's why I did like the diagonal thing

[fair onyx]

The surge protector I use is massive, and it has a huge power filter in it. It also has so much capacitor capacity that it can run my PC at full tilt for about 5 seconds after the power goes off, so its perfect for flutters

[viral heron]

Do y'all think my pc got surged or anything

[fair onyx]

no, its fine

if it turns on elsewere, its fine

my poor GPU's are suffocating 😅

need to get these new fans stat

question is, cheaper lower flow P12, or more expensive higher flow P12 maxes...

I need to look at the controller my case has

[velvet summit]

try only having the pc on the power bar and nothing else , you dont have to plug in the monitors

[viral heron]

I wish I could help you but I'm not very smart

[velvet summit]

just see if the pc doesnt get the lights

[viral heron]

If that same scenario happens again is that bad for the pc

My pc has an fps problem rn

[velvet summit]

no, it isnt

fps problem?

[viral heron]

It's just lower fps than usual

I'm restarting maybe that will fix it, I was troubleshooting an issue here the other day where my fps drops, but that was caused by tabbing out. And I just have bad fps from the start now

[craggy shoal]

this mf is bloody 💀

[viral heron]

I need to learn more about PCs and this stuff in general so I don't freak out when something unusual happens lol

[fair onyx]

how so?

[viral heron]

I maintained a constant 165+ before prolly like 400 if I uncap but I'm at like 130 in non intensive areas

[fair onyx]

ah damn, yeah, looks like this case controller only runs fans full tilt

that kindaaa sucks

but I don't have the money for a new controller as well

[viral heron]

A restart fixed it idk wtf going on but good I guess

[fair onyx]

but my GPU's are also really suffocating, so I guess I need to get the fans either way

jeez, so much heat coming out of my PC

[viral heron]

How hot is it

[fair onyx]

I have about 680 watts of output right now

output is 101f

the back is likely hotter

I am gonna need to get my AC unit installed sometime soon. Not looking forward to how much that is gonna run me

[viral heron]

So do I but I'm worried I'm gonna have too much power in my room and surge something 😂😭

[fair onyx]

oh shoot, I didn't even consider that

uhhh

crap, I might actually surge

you will be fine

I might not be

[viral heron]

Don't take my advice cuz I'm dumb but I used to have my old pc, dehumidifier, and ac unit on and it was fine

[fair onyx]

I need to go check the breaker to my room

brb

I have no idea which one goes to my room

but all of the non labled ones are 15 amps

so 1800 watts

I should be ok

I think if I do full tilt with my next PC uprade, and the AC, I should be at like... 1500 watts?

450 + 450 + 100 + 400 + say 200 residual

thast 1600 watts, which is... concerning heh

[velvet summit]

See if you can run another circuit into your room lmao
Or increase the wire gauge for 20a circuit

Or consider doing what Linus did and put the computers in the basement or smth

[fair onyx]

I really do not think that is in my budget. I will likely just have to be concious about the level of power I am drawing

[velvet summit]

Maybe not

I can't imagine it being cheap to run new/replace old cables

Though might be cheaper if you don't have a basement and only have a crawlspace

[fair onyx]

this is also assuming I get my second GPU upgrade I plan for, but that would suggest I get another high paying contract

[fair onyx]

I WILL say, the circuit braker is on the other side of my wall

[velvet summit]

Oh

It might not be bad then lmfao

[fair onyx]

its legit like 10 foot connection to the outlet my PC is on

[velvet summit]

Is the panel full

[fair onyx]

it does appear to be, unfortunately

[velvet summit]

Might be able to aggregate some breakers with more modern ones? Idk

[fair onyx]

but it has a second side with the meter on it, and I am wondering if that side also has breakers, cause I feel like we do not have enough on the panel for the whole house

[velvet summit]

That wouldn't be completely unusual

[fair onyx]

that side is locked tho, I can't get into it currently

[velvet summit]

Is this a rented house? Or do you have access to the whole house

Kinda strange to lock a breaker panel for a private residence

[fair onyx]

Its my mothers house

we live together

its not really locked, more so kinda blocked off?

IDK how to describe it honestly

[velvet summit]

Honestly

You shouldn't have anything blocking access to the breaker panels lmfao

[fair onyx]

its like...

I don't wanna go back out to show it

its a double sided breaker, one side has the meter dome on it. The other side is unlocked and can be accessed fine

the dome side has a bolt on it and like a thin steel cable holding it in place, and the pull down tab to access it is fixed in place

[velvet summit]

Hmm

It's outside?

[tranquil pebble]

I should put 128 partitions on an external drive then plug it into Windows and see how Windows handles that

[fair onyx]

I just looked and I need 2 140 mm fans and a 120mm fan

so I guess I could get 2 140 maxes and a 120 max

its pretty pricey, but that would be a huge increase in airflow

[velvet summit]

Lmao why

[tranquil pebble]

because it'd be funny... and I suspect Windows explorer will crap itself ngl

[velvet summit]

Maybe

Though if you have more than the alphabets worth of drives, windows will start naming the drives like aa ab ac, etc.

[tranquil pebble]

yeah ik

[fair onyx]

That reminds me, I have a 4TB HDD I have yet to install in my PC

I need to get on that as well

[velvet summit]

I mean, there also is probably windows server systems with 100 drives in it

[fair onyx]

if I get a high paying contract again, a lot of it will go into this PC. I will get a new mobo, a new PSU, a new case, and another 3090

[tranquil pebble]

Google's probably considering 100 drives amateur numbers

[velvet summit]

Lmao

I mean, most demanding applications use Linux or such

And not windows

[tranquil pebble]

Windows sucks as a server OS

[velvet summit]

So who knows how rugged ms made windows to handle a large amount of drives

[tranquil pebble]

and it sucks even more as an embedded OS

[fair onyx]

bruh

there is only 1 140mm max for sale

I need 2 lmao

oh, and it will take ove ra month to get here

nevermind

not doing this

[velvet summit]

Honestly the main reason it's even used is probably AD

[fair onyx]

I will just get the 5 pack of non max's

save some money in the meantime

[tranquil pebble]

That is 100% the case from what I've seen. Schools love AD.

but tbf to Microsoft... its incredibly hard to beat Linux at what it does best... server and embedded.

There's way too many companies invested in it

[velvet summit]

Fr

Pros of windows server: AD, gui for "IT" staff that isn't experienced with linux

And I can't think of anymore pros

[pliant berry]

the domain controller maybe?

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[cerulean summit]

always a classic fr fr

[velvet summit]

i mean, linux can do that fine as well, and better? idk if it constitutes as a pro for windows server over linux

[pliant berry]

then ease of use idk xD

[velvet summit]

actually, technically AD is domain controller, but it only works with windows systems iirc

while the linux alternatives like open ldap can do it on linux as well

[pliant berry]

I actually have one server with a windows server license but don't touch it much

[velvet summit]

oh, there are methods of using AD to authenticate linux clients

[frail marten]

Is open box desktop from new egg recommended and I get it says some accessories may be missing but if it's in the description would that imply its there?

[atomic current]

Nah

[tranquil pebble]

Today I discovered that I can order matcha green tea ice cream and pick it up at a local store which has me hyped.

[waxen cypress]

Well wanna know what I discovered today

I discovered that women suck, saying hello to rock bottom again. Yay me!

[sweet phoenix]

Not touching that one

[sinful blade]

Don’t let yourself get bogged down. Keep your chin up, and raise your eyes to the sky.

There’s always someone out there for someone.

I found my partner on tinder(it’s been a really long 4 year hookup)

[waxen cypress]

That’s what I keep hearing

[atomic current]

Women are cool

[waxen cypress]

I look around tho and see no one

[sinful blade]

It’s ironic, but don’t look.

I didn’t expect to get into a relationship. I just did. Got comfortable around her and she stuck around.

It’s best to live and let someone come along that you are comfortable with.

Work on yourself until then. Hit the gym, play some video games, buy some stocks.

[waxen cypress]

That’s how I found the one that broke my heart today. I wasn’t looking

[sinful blade]

There’s always someone else.

[hoary zodiac]

Any interesting hardware releases in the past couple of months?

I'm way behind on my tech news

[tranquil pebble]

people in the xbox discord are talking about eating tree bark lmao

[atomic current]

The sun hid behind the moon

[sinful blade]

That’s unsurprising

[sinful blade]

Not much. Just some fixes for the xtx issues
Some rumors of a new Xbox

[hoary zodiac]

A new xbox? Already?

[sinful blade]

It’s been a few years

Series x was a while ago now

I think the rumour was it was 3.5x times faster or something

[hoary zodiac]

That's what they always say

"It's going to be better than pc"

[quiet zephyr]

any charging tips to extend the battery life?

[hoary zodiac]

To be fair consoles have gotten a lot better since the xbox one

Series X has pretty good performance for the price

[atomic current]

50% to 80%

[hoary zodiac]

And gamepass makes it genuinely a good deal

[hoary zodiac]

I do 85%

[quiet zephyr]

some say 30% - 80%

so it means that when my phone gets to 30% I plug it and unplugged it at 80%?

[hoary zodiac]

You also need to charge it to a practical percentage

Some phones have a charging limit

Or custom roms

[quiet zephyr]

I have a 5000mah battery and my charging brick is 67W is it okay? or should I downgrade

[hoary zodiac]

For a laptop?

[quiet zephyr]

phone

[hoary zodiac]

Should be fine

A 65w brick is enough to charge laptops

[atomic current]

Same but only because samsogg doesn't have 80 option

[quiet zephyr]

it's for a phone

[hoary zodiac]

Does it have an output with a lower wattage?

[quiet zephyr]

where can I find this option

[quiet zephyr]

nope

[atomic current]

Get some iPad chargers

[hoary zodiac]

That's weird

Probably not a bad idea to get a new one

[atomic current]

They're not too slow and not too fast

[hoary zodiac]

I inflated my battery by plugging it into a 100w charger

[atomic current]

And they're good quality

[north crescent]

49.99 - 50.01

[atomic current]

Tru

[hoary zodiac]

Half is the ideal ye

Did it come with your phone?

[quiet zephyr]

for a 5000mah phone

[quiet zephyr]

yep

[rancid juniper]

i have horrid aim

[hoary zodiac]

Then it's fine

[rancid juniper]

cant ever win a game

[north crescent]

Realistically you're usually good for 20% - 80% range. With a 0% - 100% cycle every month iirc.

[atomic current]

Don't

0-100 is fake

[quiet zephyr]

I do 20%-98%

[atomic current]

You don't need to do that lol

I'm taking your teckie role

[sinful blade]

Unfortunately it still lacks in storage

[north crescent]

I dont do mobile okay mom

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah but that's all the xboxes

Or all consoles

Same with laptops with only 1 M.2 slot

[quiet zephyr]

is 30%-80% fine?

[hoary zodiac]

Yes you might be able to put a 8TB ssd into it

But then at that point it's not cost effective and it's probably better to use a external ssd

So I'm not too fussed about the storage

[rancid juniper]

Bad time to get ssds now

[hoary zodiac]

It is around $400

For a Xsx

Someone fact check me

[rancid juniper]

Ngl, speaking of XSX i be thinking how Xbox series s held back next gen games

[hoary zodiac]

Are the prices up again?

[rancid juniper]

Yea

[hoary zodiac]

Yikes

How much for a 4TB?

[north crescent]

Yeah. Also avoid trickle charging, cuz phones suck and cant just run off input power like laptops.
So basically dont keep it plugged in with 80% charge cap, unless the phone has a thing where battery needs to drop 5%+ to start charging again (additional note for laptops, keep them plugged in with as close to 50% cap as you can comfortably get without having 1 second of battery life).

[rancid juniper]

200+

Some going for 300 on newegg

[atomic current]

Rip the battery out so it doesn't charge

[hoary zodiac]

Oh so pretty much like where it was last year

[rancid juniper]

It's wild to see how much prices can rise as I bought an 4TB nvme for like $160 early 2023

[hoary zodiac]

Wait fr?

[rancid juniper]

Yea

[hoary zodiac]

My GM7000 was like $250

[rancid juniper]

Wtf

[atomic current]

[hoary zodiac]

Actually no it's more closer to $200

[rancid juniper]

Well I mean it was a silicon power nvme (budget friendly company imo)

[hoary zodiac]

Hold up imma get the actual price

[rancid juniper]

Heck at the time 1TB nvmes were going for like 50-60 minimum

And I guess the demand for nvme storage is increasing as well

[hoary zodiac]

Ok it was probably around $200

But it's a decent ssd so
