general-chat

[mental yoke]

bet, thx

[devout forum]

Mate I'm using 16 and it's good

[elfin mural]

and 32gb is basically obligatory on am5 tbf

if you're a usa shopper

it's pretty cheap to get 32gb atm

$86.99 for 32gb 6000c30

the no oc option

or $76 i think for a-die 5600

which you can easily run 6000

[mental yoke]

what do u think would be the best mobo?

[elfin mural]

anything lol

just don't go so barebones

make sure the vrms have heatsinks

am5 cpus are so efficient

they don't require much power

and you can oc to world record on cheap b650 boards

[mental yoke]

https://a.co/d/19yPEhf

?

[elfin mural]

eh

just get adata legend 800

$108 for 2tb

[mental yoke]

$1,071 too bad?

[elfin mural]

actually

show me your list

[mental yoke]

uh..

plz no judge

im rlly trying to build myself a decent pc

[elfin mural]

i'm not judging

but i have a question

why amazon only?

[mental yoke]

uh

bc

prime?

and also

mainly bc i use amazon for everything else

https://a.co/d/i9YotAo

what do you think of this monitor?

[sweet phoenix]

What's your whole budget for the build

[elfin mural]

i get the prime reason, but i can give you a better list with pcpp

[sweet phoenix]

Yeah I'd avoid limiting yourself to one retailer like foxy is saying

[elfin mural]

koorui is decent for cheap option

[sweet phoenix]

It greatly limits your options

[mental yoke]

thx guys and gals

i rlly appreciate it

i’ve just been so used to prebuilts

[elfin mural]

im sleeping in a bit so imma leave it to bacca

[sweet phoenix]

What's the budget?

[mental yoke]

$900-$1k

[sweet phoenix]

Including monitor or without

[mental yoke]

with.

[elfin mural]

if you're gaming you don't need anything fancy storage wise

[sweet phoenix]

Do you need wifi, or are you using ethernet

[mental yoke]

ethernet

[sweet phoenix]

And last question, do you care about aesthetics

[elfin mural]

$170 for 990 pro isn't bad tho

[mental yoke]

are we talking about rn or like in general?

[sweet phoenix]

Like do you want rgb and all that

Or do you not care

[mental yoke]

yes. i care ab aesthetics

[sweet phoenix]

Gm7000 is $135

Or fx900 pro

[mental yoke]

thanks for your help.

i really appreciate it

[elfin mural]

hm ye

[mental yoke]

im just a bit confused

like i said , im used to prebuilts

[sweet phoenix]

First option, it'd go over budget with monitor though
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/M6Xkt7

[mental yoke]

really appreciate it

[sweet phoenix]

Second
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MQVWRK

For monitor one of these
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CTHG4M

If you've any questions feel free to ask, or if you're unsure on any of the choices

If you want more parts on amazon I can see what I can do abt that too

[mighty hazel]

120 for 5600x damn, cheap

[elfin mural]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/d3FsN6

This is my take

1440p would definitely be nicer tho

[mighty hazel]

Nah koroi monitor is ass lol

Get aoc

[sweet phoenix]

??

[elfin mural]

It's actually a hidden gem

[mighty hazel]

Aoc monitors

[elfin mural]

Especially IPS ones

[mighty hazel]

They’re good

[sweet phoenix]

Aoc has some good monitors sure

Doesn't make koorui bad

[mighty hazel]

Nah they are

[sweet phoenix]

That one is honestly top tier 1080p panels under $150

[elfin mural]

Optimum reviewed one

Straight up top tier for budget monitors

[sweet phoenix]

Their other panels I know nothing about

[mighty hazel]

If you want an underrated monitor brand, innocn

[sweet phoenix]

But the one foxy included is very very nice

[elfin mural]

It beats a ton of others in this price point

Surprisingly good

Decent color gamut, contrast, response

[mighty hazel]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Zcqrxr/msi-g244f-238-1920-x-1080-170-hz-monitor-g244f

This is cheaper lol

[elfin mural]

a few bucks

[mighty hazel]

100% would rather get msi

[elfin mural]

with probably similar quality

[mighty hazel]

There’s also 240hz for like 180 bucks

But va

Tbh 1080p and 6750xt is kinda overkill, better to get 1440

Or 240hz 1080p

[elfin mural]

https://youtu.be/9Q_9LVW2Rl4

[dusk knot]

OLED

[elfin mural]

Exact koorui he reviewed

K24E3

Actual measurements and all

[mighty hazel]

Eh I’d still get the msi one, better warranty too probably

And it’s cheaper

[elfin mural]

Amazon warranty at least

Cheaper with unknown panel quality

Brand name doesn't always mean better

[fair onyx]

@mortal grail Are you here by chance?

[mighty hazel]

It used to be more expensive

[elfin mural]

More expensive also ≠ more better

[fair onyx]

I wanted to know if I could disable my 3060ti on my bus and restart my PC to stop the de-sync without having to physically remove the card

or actually, I guess I could just turn off my second power supply before booting

then the card wouldn't turn on to begin with

or maybe just PCIE disabling will work?

[elfin mural]

You can also unplug pcie cables from the gpu

[fair onyx]

what do you mean? PCIE cable? its a hardware slot

wait, I just disabled my 3060ti and I think I may have just stopped the de-sync...

[elfin mural]

I mean, the external power cables

So that the gpu wouldn't turn on lol

[fair onyx]

If its as simple as just disabling the device on the bus... omg

[fair onyx]

ah yeah, that would be a lot more work than just flipping off the second PSU haha

[elfin mural]

Ya

[fair onyx]

I think just disabling it in device manager may have stopped the issue

yeah, its gone now

is its really that simple... My life is forever changed

[elfin mural]

huh

[fair onyx]

Being able to just turn it on when I need it for my work, thats a life safer

[fair onyx]

whats up?

[elfin mural]

im just puzzled lol

don't mind that

[fair onyx]

about what? I will gladly explain 😅

[elfin mural]

ah don't worry

my brain had a stupid moment

[fair onyx]

ah, no worries haha

I haven't had a single IO drop out since I disabled it

altho my waiting cycle is still happening, so IDK

I am not sure if that still suggests there will be issues

So far so good...

There is one test that will ensure if its fixed or not

AAAAA @mortal grail I FIXED IT

I just had to drop the 3060ti off my bus in windows when its not being used

I am in afterburner right now with no IO dropouts or de-sync!

I wanna effing cry lmfaooooo

It was being soooo bad while I was drawing right now with a video playing, I was having like a dropout every 2 seconds

I am on cloud 9 right now. Solved the biggest plague to my average happiness for the last like 6 months

[fair onyx]

@sinful bladeJust wanted to let you know I found a solution in the end

I can already feel my mood relaxing

8 months of constant audio crackling, and IO dropouts so bad I can't play a lot of games has just drained every last reserve of patience I have

[unreal trail]

[mental yoke]

Literally what I was gonna say

[sinful blade]

What’s the max one of you would pay for a 3060ti

Or the least you’d pay

[fair onyx]

It honestly depends. I could sucker people into buying my 3060ti for a lot more cause its rare haha

first day 3060ti FE with FHR, which some people still value over LHR lol

[rancid juniper]

One last thing before I move on with the Xbox madness... Take a second to process this, you can't make this up. @tranquil pebble

[misty sparrow]

so essentially

execs dont realize that games take a long time to make?

"shuttered in part because they were pitching new games that were years away"

thats what im getting here

[rancid juniper]

Yep...

People gotta realize that these individuals in suits aren't "gamers" they are seeking profits and nothing more. Just gobbling them up and taking their IPs

These is the most braindead response I've ever seen

[nocturne flicker]

It'd make sense if they were falling behind on current projects and the studios for those projects were proposing more projects, but I haven't seen anything like that

Even then, that wouldn't be grounds for closing them

Just diverting more resources to them and telling them to focus on what they are currently doing

[rancid juniper]

Ah but alas they cannot do that

The CEOs and execs gotta get their bonus pay

No need to add necessary funding to the devs

[sinful blade]

Some guy is selling one for $217 on Mercari

Wondered if it was a decent deal

[mighty hazel]

3060 ti fe isn’t rare

All the fe cards are non lhr

[tranquil pebble]

bruh

[rancid juniper]

[tranquil pebble]

i found an anarchy gmod server and confused people by making myself incredibly small. Someone thought a roach was shooting lasers at them.

[velvet summit]

https://youtu.be/_rBPwu2uS-w

real

[tranquil pebble]

no its not lol

[worthy meteor]

Good video though

Smoking is a temporary relief, as they talk about it in the video

[rancid juniper]

They hittin that nicotine pack

😂

[weak cedar]

Also money is temporary as well when you keep spending it all

[mighty hazel]

Money is a psyop

[young matrix]

wii u had a really bad start for a console

really bad games for a whole year and nothing really good until 2015-2016 and by then its reputation was already dead

also it was advertised really poorly

most of its adverising was around the wii pad which made it look like the pad was the only new thing

[tranquil pebble]

bad marketing go brr

[young matrix]

fr

also the 3ds came out the same time as the wii U

and the PS4 and Xbox One

[wary fjord]

We call this "regression" i think

[young matrix]

xb1 on release was pretty bad

3DS is peak gaming handheld

PS4 was just good throughout its run

nothing id call amazing but nothign awful

[wary fjord]

Hmm so you good at aiming with controller at cod?

Dont bave console xD but if i do.. in my childhood probably that will solve my controller skill issues

Hahahaha

[young matrix]

the quest 2 has more sales than the wii u

[wary fjord]

Me aiming

[random osprey]

depending on where you live it couldve been bad as it also invited a lot of roaches but thats smol amount of people

[wary fjord]

Ow its easy to repell roaches

Just have s cat

[young matrix]

[wary fjord]

Cat likes to bonk anything that small that moves haha

[nocturne flicker]

3DS was bleh at launch purely because of the launch price

[random osprey]

ps5 also seems to be having the same problem with the roaches but not as bad. just big openings for them to get into

[young matrix]

didnt they cut the price in under a year or something

best console is a raspberry pi fr fr

[nocturne flicker]

Yup, cut it by $80

They gave away like, 20 retro games to apologize to early buyers

[tranquil pebble]

yeah thats the right term but its not as funny

[mental yoke]

Smweiners

[young matrix]

scott the woz made soem good retrospective videos on nintendo consoles

[wary fjord]

XD its having a stroke reading the fixes the fix that Fix the fixes

karaoke box, smart assistant, emulator

torrent box

[craggy shoal]

I need an N100 PC

[wary fjord]

I think the last project we did on this is... Wifi thingy.. u put a coin on it.. it sit a ticket with wifi temp password that expires within certain time

[wary fjord]

[nocturne flicker]

[craggy shoal]

I need something like this (and two of them)
https://www.amazon.com/GMKtec-Mini-PC-Computer-N100/dp/B0CH81C4K3/ref=sr_1_10

[wary fjord]

Because my friend lives near a public school xD

Its a good idea to lure student there to use wifi

Hahahaha

[wary fjord]

this what im targeting xD

200 bucks

[craggy shoal]

Nah I want something low powered

[wary fjord]

yeah true

n100 can do 6w

hmmm yeah no match xD

whats with xD apple always not ready to make a calculator lol

[tranquil pebble]

yt-dlp works on Reddit. Interesting. I just used it to download this bad apple meme

Stupid bot lol

[rancid juniper]

What is this lol

[dusk knot]

at first i though he supported smoking 💀

[rancid juniper]

The question:

[mortal grail]

If they arrange for a courier and give you a paid waylabel

They will pick it up but you need to be on the premises at their schedule

But most companies don't do this

You get that for large appliances like dishwashers, tvs, fridges

Very rarely for anything that fits in your hands like say a lone gpu

[worthy meteor]

Yea nah

[mortal grail]

Alternatively you could arrange for one yourself however it shouldn't be cheap to do

Idk if you absolutely need one so that is also an option

[chrome portal]

[mortal grail]

Oh lol

[chrome portal]

POG

[mortal grail]

That would have no issues with a cx750

[chrome portal]

such high value

such high value fr

[mortal grail]

Non modular isn't that bad, just tie up the loose cables

[chrome portal]

true

zip ties do it really well

[mortal grail]

Two velcro straps and you're done

[chrome portal]

just make a bundle of your psus sins and hide them under the shroud if possible

[mortal grail]

Nah if you really want to swap get this:

[chrome portal]

Yeah

What up

[misty sparrow]

xbox hasn't been making enough money to justify the costs they're spending on it

[sinful blade]

[misty sparrow]

so i dont really get why they're getting bonus pay for barely making any money

[sinful blade]

Rentacenter reported

[nocturne flicker]

[misty sparrow]

generic pc costs 2.8k to own?

[craggy shoal]

People still use Rentacenter? 💀

[sinful blade]

There’s 2 locations in my town

[nocturne flicker]

Optiplex 7000, 13500 with no gpu

[sinful blade]

Unfortunately

Report them to the BBB with me

[sinful blade]

Get the mfs taken down

[nocturne flicker]

They are a chain, BBB ain't doing squat

[sinful blade]

Or have them be forced by the government to lower prices to rent

They did this during the pandemic

So they did qualify under price gouging

[nocturne flicker]

You've misunderstood, there is no emergency around to give our government an excuse to step in

[sinful blade]

I’ll take Rentacenter to court for scams

:mushStare:

[nocturne flicker]

And they'll just say that they don't expect people to purchase from them, only rent it for a period before giving it back. They'll pay somebody some money and walk away

[misty sparrow]

if there's anyone you should take to court it's really the fast food corporations

but they get away with it most of the time anyway

[nocturne flicker]

They get away with it and actively have no name randos defending them for it

[rancid juniper]

💀

[idle nexus]

is there a laptop in the $250-$500 range typically recommended here? A friend is asking & I really don't wanna research laptops rn

[craggy shoal]

I don't think rentacenter is going down any time soon if they’re still around 💀😭

[idle nexus]

or ever for that matter lol

[misty sparrow]

no really, they BARELY make any money to justify the costs they're spending

that ABK deal costed them what, $100 billion? and MS didn't make that much cash off Xbox (and gaming) anyway

so the deal isn't gonna net them enough money to justify purchasing the company

[rancid juniper]

Gamepass was a mistake

Doubt that plan was generating any profits whatsoever

[nocturne flicker]

Microsoft was a mistake, break up the big business

[misty sparrow]

to be fair MS wouldnt be in this mess if they focused on making quality products

[rancid juniper]

Mhm

[rancid juniper]

Difficulty: IMPOSSIBLE

[misty sparrow]

ads in windows 11 is a death sentence

and people say "oh but you can remove it!!!!" but they dont focus on the real question, "Why should it even be there in the first place"

[idle nexus]

cuz investors

fiduciary duty

don't get me wrong, it's a horrible idea

[nocturne flicker]

They have to constantly keep pushing what is acceptable monetization to ensure their investors remain happy

[idle nexus]

maybe it's all part of their secret plan to keep people on windows 10 lol

[misty sparrow]

imagine if they took the concept from that one black mirror episode

the one where you have to look at the ad to keep it playing/skip it

https://tenor.com/view/clueless-aware-twitch-forsen-emote-gif-25354609

[nocturne flicker]

Adblock on an OS level wen

[idle nexus]

I'm sure you could use ghost-spectre or something that'll cut all that crap out

ads are for people who don't know how or won't put in the effort to block them lol

[mighty hazel]

i mean some people prolly turned adblock off cause of youtube

[idle nexus]

ublockorigin

[mighty hazel]

apparently it warns u if u use adblock

[cedar compass]

ublock still works for youtube

[idle nexus]

doesn't warn me with ublockorigin

[mighty hazel]

for me it works fine tho no warnings

with regular adblock

[nocturne flicker]

I'll just never use another OS ever again, just like Microsoft promised

Yeah, ublock works goodly

[misty sparrow]

firefox too

firefox + ublock

[nocturne flicker]

Ublock ur dad

[idle nexus]

holy crap I just time warped to 2021

[misty sparrow]

wanna play among us?

[cedar compass]

i find youtube premium stupidly expensive so using ublock lol

[weak cedar]

Maybe it's a browser & ad block type issiue where it's not working on all of them

[regal mason]

which is better?

[nocturne flicker]

I find ads stupid, the more you make them more intrusive, the less profit you'll have due to people getting pissed off and using adblockers, the more people use adblockers, the more intrusive they make ad systems

[cedar compass]

sandisk had issue with one of portable ssds but i dont remember which one it was

[idle nexus]

I've had a Samsung T7 since 2020 & haven't broken it yet

despite taking it apart cuz I wanted to see if I could connect it to a motherboard

spoiler: you can't

Iusing crucal externals and they work great as well

crucial x6 and x8 is bae

[weak cedar]

Back in the day when it made sense

my favorite external SSD is my ugreen thing with a Viper NVMe in it

I'm gonna run crystaldiskmark on it rn

cuz I'm curious

lol

it's mostly full with benching ISO, benching tools, benchmarks, reg keys, bats, & other benchmark crap but let's see

[weak cedar]

I wonder if there is headlight covers that can reduce brightness from the headlights

[nocturne flicker]

There should be

[pliant berry]

I just had to move all my games to hard drives so I can use ssd from my pc for a camera

[weak cedar]

🤔

[pliant berry]

Seems to work nice but now i need another ssd

[nocturne flicker]

Iirc some LED bulbs caused problems for being so bright that some place instituted requirements to artificially dim the headlights using caps

[idle nexus]

you can get tinted light casings usually

my taillights are tinted

[rancid juniper]

there are people who still dont know what an extension is or never knew it existed

[pliant berry]

Honestly I didn’t think leds were a problem, maybe im just too used to starting at lights

[rancid juniper]

🤔

[misty sparrow]

the best and easiest car mod you should do is take a large amount of transparent skateboard grip tape and putting it on your car license plates

[sinful blade]

I’m taking the fight to them

Starting Rentacenter protests

[craggy shoal]

Good luck lol

[sinful blade]

I’ll take the fight around the globe

[nocturne flicker]

A fair amount of them are banned in headlights because they violate federal laws with regards to brightness and we are in the process of introducing a system to make brightness adaptive. It was a part of one of the major bills last year to get working on that system

[sinful blade]

As someone with astigmatism
I HATE the newer lights being put on cars

It makes driving at night near impossible

[nocturne flicker]

Well, more like adaptive headlight positioning, they are working on getting systems in place that adjust headlight beams so that that certain parts of the beams shut off when they detect a car

[sinful blade]

I’ve had to stop driving at night completely due to almost getting into multiple crashes

[sinful blade]

Will any of the regulations be retroactive?

Like cars made before x year need headlights replaced

[nocturne flicker]

It isn't a ban, it is approval for systems in new cars

I.e. optional

[weak cedar]

There leds that's the problem I bought a 2020 subaru and everyone thinks my brights are on 😅

[weak cedar]

8 years behind Europe that already has it sadly

Rip discord is going 🤪

[pliant berry]

Uhhh 🙄

[nocturne flicker]

Our biggest problem is that LED brightness doesn't really lineup with the standard Lumens testing used to approve headlights, so LEDs can technically meet approval standards for headlights while still being brighter to the human eye than they are allowed to be

[pliant berry]

Can neither confirm nor deny

[dusk knot]

Fallout was great 👍

Besides the gore

[proud jackal]

But... Gore is fallout

[swift sable]

Thats part of FO

The head-exploding charm

[dusk knot]

ik. never played the games

but the story was really good

and the twists

[swift sable]

You should, they're good

[dusk knot]

mayhaps

8/10 show

no deathclaws

or super mutants

wish I saw those

[swift sable]

probably season 2

season 1 was definitely setup

[dusk knot]

yep

[rancid juniper]

So should I play the fallout games first ( ) or watch the show

Cuz I have no clue what the plot is about

[dusk knot]

nothing like the star wars slop weve been getting

[nocturne flicker]

You can never go wrong with playing the games

Just patch New Vegas and 3

[rancid juniper]

The only wrong I'm seeing here is Bethesda

[nocturne flicker]

Playing the first two games is optional because they are harder to get into and New Vegas does a good enough job at covering the basic stuff needed to know from those

[rancid juniper]

There was like a mod iirc that connects both 3 and new Vegas into one FAT game

[nocturne flicker]

Yup, Tale of Two Wastelands

[rancid juniper]

That's honestly insane

[dusk knot]

hm

sad its over

[nocturne flicker]

You need both games and all the DLC, there is a script you have to run to import 3 into New Vegas and New Vegas has some mechanic and gameplay differences from 3 so it won't be exactly the same as playing 3 itself, but it is fine

[rancid juniper]

I'll binge the show this weekend then

[dusk knot]

I binged it too. It's worth it @rancid juniper

5 episodes yesterday till 3am lol

And the rest today.

[rancid juniper]

Vault dweller probably no clipped, ruining all immersion in the beginning

I understand

[dusk knot]

8/10

[rancid juniper]

Till 3 is wild

[nocturne flicker]

That is high praise for a video game adaptation

[rancid juniper]

I mean video game adaptations are actually getting better

[dusk knot]

They are

[rancid juniper]

TLOU, and Sonic is two that are well received

[dusk knot]

They stuck to the source material. I can feel it

[rancid juniper]

Same can't be said for Halo tho

Lmfao

[nocturne flicker]

TLOU doesn't count, it shouldn't have been a game to begin with smh

[dusk knot]

Halo didn't. But as someone who never played the halo games, it's good @rancid juniper

[rancid juniper]

Naughtydog likes to make movies disguised as games

[dusk knot]

If I did play the games most likely I would have been mad or something lol

[rancid juniper]

Lol that's why

You would probably be livid if you did heheheh

[dusk knot]

Most likely

[rancid juniper]

Mario is another great adaptation

[dusk knot]

Well I do know a few things like for example I don't like how they show his face

[rancid juniper]

It was actually enjoyable

Master Chief's helmet ALWAYS stays on

That's an Auto L

[dusk knot]

Or how he's too emotional now

[nocturne flicker]

Mario was fine.

[rancid juniper]

Yea show massively went downhill from there

[dusk knot]

Right ...

[rancid juniper]

In the games he was very calm and mostly mute

Real halo fan

[nocturne flicker]

I've never played Halo. I have read the books based on it tho

[dusk knot]

He was basically the perfect super soldier...now...not Soo perfect.

[rancid juniper]

Comic accurate master chief

[nocturne flicker]

I don't really remember the books because it was 9 years ago, but I read them

[rancid juniper]

Bro can smash any planet in one punch

Henrie cavillar

[nocturne flicker]

Oh, they made more books since I read them

Uh

[rancid juniper]

Do y'all think a tomb raider live action would work?

[nocturne flicker]

I read some of the Halo books

[rancid juniper]

And then MasterChief perished from a random enemy that appeared in vol.1 chapter 74

smh

The end

They gonna milk the crap outta that serious

[nocturne flicker]

I don't think I've ever actually read a comic.

[rancid juniper]

Microsoft/Xbox will follow suit

...

[rancid juniper]

HUH?

😳

[idle nexus]

ooo fallout conversation

[nocturne flicker]

Wait, I read some reprints of Spider Man they did after the Sam Raimi movies

[rancid juniper]

Fallout fanatic INCOMING

[idle nexus]

Fallout 4 had update on 4/25 that BROKE script extender

so fallout london & all these crazy projects won't work

[rancid juniper]

Common L from Bethesda as usual

[idle nexus]

they fixed F4SE but now all the mods that depend on F4SE need to be modified

[dusk knot]

[idle nexus]

I use 203 Fallout 4 mods

[nocturne flicker]

My dad would get them from work and bring them home for me. I rember I left one out in the garage and it got soaked after the garage door opened during a storm

[idle nexus]

I can't even imagine how many you have to roll together to make something like Fallout London work lol

[nocturne flicker]

It was the one that introduced the Green Goblin iirc

[idle nexus]

someone takes COD weapon textures & puts them into FO4

[rancid juniper]

The drive:

https://tenor.com/view/mr-stark-i-dont-feel-so-good-gif-15648236

[idle nexus]

they're so ridiculously large at 4k

[rancid juniper]

🤢

[idle nexus]

lol

[rancid juniper]

PlEASE SIGN IN TO PSN ACCOUNT THANK

[idle nexus]

the mods are so crazy tho

[dusk knot]

Linds?

[rancid juniper]

Craps bigger than my FH5 install

[idle nexus]

like I tried playing the vanilla game on a plane before

[rancid juniper]

That name is so old

[idle nexus]

& didn't realize how much of the game was mods

[nocturne flicker]

I know a guy does Battlefield 1 and 5 stuff and someone did some Day of Infamy stuff iirc but who does CoD stuff?

[rancid juniper]

Sheesh

[steel current]

how do you see the order number on roblox

[rancid juniper]

Think they still require it for multiplayer purposes no?

Ye

[idle nexus]

this is my favorite one https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/42000 but you need the UWMP & the armory project 1-3

[pliant berry]

would be nice if I could pick up where I left off in ghost of tsushima

[rancid juniper]

Bethesda when they make guns:

[pliant berry]

email I guess?

[idle nexus]

actually I take it back

this is 100% the BEST fallout 4 mod

[rancid juniper]

I legit can't wait to play that game on my pc

[pliant berry]

It's probably been 10 years since I had any purchases on roblox

[idle nexus]

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/44798

[pliant berry]

yeah I think Im gonna get it too

might hurt wallet though

[rancid juniper]

Real OGs know that Tix was another currency on roblox

[idle nexus]

I can play FO4 4k with mods at like 160fps

[pliant berry]

yes

[idle nexus]

I wish I didn't wait so long to switch from 3080ti to 4090 lol

[rancid juniper]

👌

[pliant berry]

Man I still miss the original murder mystery game on roblox

[rancid juniper]

I LEGIT PLAYED THAT GAME WHEN I WAS A GUEST

It was the funniest game I've played

[mortal grail]

Can i preorder u

[nocturne flicker]

FX is still putting out stuff? I thought he just did collab mods now

[pliant berry]

but that knife that made you invisible was stupid

[mortal grail]

I want the bonus ramen dlc

[rancid juniper]

Rommy on Wayfair?

[mortal grail]

Wayfair

Why fair

[rancid juniper]

😂

[pliant berry]

so many classic roblox maps in that game

I'm not sure if I want to record in prores now... when 14 seconds is taking up 1.2GB

[nocturne flicker]

Eh, closest I've gotten back into FO4 was patching a gun mod for Horizon anyways, I just went and remodded New Vegas

[rancid juniper]

Developers when game is 125+GB

"They got ssds and fast internet, they fine"

16k textures

16
Times
The
Detail

[mortal grail]

I'll turn u fair in a minute

[nocturne flicker]

Tried using New Vegas Reloaded, causes my PC to shut down

[rancid juniper]

I SURE LOVE LOOKING AT 8K EYELASHES

[dusk knot]

Couldn't forget @wise geyser @rancid juniper

[rancid juniper]

8k eyelashes: 10gb alone

[mortal grail]

Sounds like a horror movie

[rancid juniper]

Lmfao

Revenge of the eye Lasher

Spookie

[nocturne flicker]

To be fair it could've been because my SSD was reaching 70C just from a simple Crystaldisk test because I forgot to put back on the heat spreader, but eh

[rancid juniper]

Me when my teamgroup wants to die when it is only 35c

Oh it actually died

Great

[nocturne flicker]

It was idling at 59C. Put on the heat spreader and it went back down to idling at 44C

[rancid juniper]

Bruh

[pliant berry]

damn, I ignored a phone call because I was driving and it was from tennessee or something.. turns out it was work related

[rancid juniper]

Every nvme needs a heat spreader

It's mandatory imo

[nocturne flicker]

My SN550s didn't

[pliant berry]

ah yes I keep forgetting to renew that

[nocturne flicker]

My SN550 still doesn't.

[rancid juniper]

🗿

No no not at all, I just use em just to keep em cool

[nocturne flicker]

The problem is that I have a 6950xt right above the NVME drive and it is 80F ambient in my room because I have no AC

[rancid juniper]

Even if they can stay cool I like to see low tenps

"Tenps"

Huh...

[rancid juniper]

Try 80c ambient and see what happens

😳

[nocturne flicker]

I'd rather not die

[rancid juniper]

Hahahah

[nocturne flicker]

Going to slow cook me like a slab of meat

[rancid juniper]

AC broken + summer = death

[pliant berry]

ac? never knew her

[rancid juniper]

Sadge

[idle nexus]

ig it's old? I dunno lol

[nocturne flicker]

I dunno what is up with my AC. It is a central air unit split into 4 zones and one of the zones seems to work

The rest don't

Except when you turn off that one zone, then two of the other zones work

[pliant berry]

maybe one unit isnt enough?

[nocturne flicker]

Ours is a heat pump put in about a decade ago

[idle nexus]

10 years is getting to the end of the life expectancy no?

[rancid juniper]

Me with a window mounted ac

[idle nexus]

you cleaned the coils?

[rancid juniper]

Can't image what's in there

[idle nexus]

dunno what the difference is between coils & a radiator is technically but they look the heckin same

[pliant berry]

the non functional ac we have here is kinda wack. I think it's 3 units into 3 zones

[rancid juniper]

💀

[idle nexus]

I love my window AC

sure it's not the prettiest thing to look at but it heckin works great & it's like 8' away lol

[rancid juniper]

Based

👎

[nocturne flicker]

We've had problems with the zone splitting not working before but that was due to some problems with the ducts. Dunno what the problem is now

[pliant berry]

let's face it, ac is designed to break

[rancid juniper]

:Pog:

[rancid juniper]

But what if it melts?

🤔

[nocturne flicker]

I have no window access in my room either, so I've got a desk fan next to my PC and a ceiling fan recirculating 80F air to cool me down

[pliant berry]

still better than me

[nocturne flicker]

And since the PC is in the room too and that 80F is the temp for the entire zone

[pliant berry]

heck today was only 60s outside and it's already reaching 80s where I have the pc

[nocturne flicker]

Yes. It was 80 all night

[craggy shoal]

No thanks

I need my room to be 70F at most

[nocturne flicker]

I don't get an accurate temp because I am pretty sure the sensor for the thermostat is in the hallway which is cooler

[rancid juniper]

Motorola

[craggy shoal]

motor

[rancid juniper]

Moto

Hello moto

[swift sable]

Real.

[rancid juniper]

70f is like the optimal temperature

For all rooms

[craggy shoal]

70F and 40% humidity >>>>>>

[nocturne flicker]

I try to keep mine at 73-4 with a desk fan on

[swift sable]

70 is THE room temperature temperature.

[pliant berry]

off topic but one time I accidentally wired a temp sensor backwards... and tried testing it by touching it and checking the readings... let's just say my finger got real toasty

[rancid juniper]

Ouch

[nocturne flicker]

The utility bills are already high enough due to other people in the household, I don't want to pay extra to keep a zone at 70

I like having my fan on anyways

[rancid juniper]

Fan + AC = ???

[nocturne flicker]

My desk fan does not use as much power as my AC unit does even cranking it up to max speed

[dusk knot]

Fan+AC= 🥶

[idle nexus]

LOL remember like 3 minutes ago when I was all like, "omg I love my window A/C"

[nocturne flicker]

All my energy budget goes to PC

[idle nexus]

my gf was using her hair dryer and A/C kicked on

heckin breaker tripped

[nocturne flicker]

Why isn't your ac on a dedicated breaker?

Or is it a window unit

[craggy shoal]

I need a window unit in my room

[verbal ridge]

If I’m buying a fan hub is it best to buy the Corsair one? Cause my mb has only 3 fan spots. And I have 6 Corsair fans in my case

[craggy shoal]

coarse hair 🤮

[verbal ridge]

🤓

[craggy shoal]

just get fan splitters

[idle nexus]

window

[mortal grail]

Oh no it's a bear

[idle nexus]

just make sure the connections are correct. do corsair fans use standard 4-pin? I've only ever had the ones that came with 5000D & they're pretty base model

[mortal grail]

Splitters and adapters or spend on corsair, there's no real middle ground

[nocturne flicker]

Mmm. So the room it is in shares a breaker with the bathroom or something? I assume you use a hair dryer in a BR 🤔

[verbal ridge]

Yes it’s 4 pins

[nocturne flicker]

At least thats where everyone I know who uses one uses it

[verbal ridge]

I’ll get splitters 😂

[idle nexus]

you could use splitters

or PWM splitters (power off molex from PSU)

or do the fan box

[cedar compass]

Zotac gang

[crude igloo]

how do i stop my apps from look in like this

[idle nexus]

the possibilities are endless

[verbal ridge]

Would they work on Corsair??

[idle nexus]

wym

[craggy shoal]

this guy likes Corsair

[verbal ridge]

Splitters are the cheapest tho

[idle nexus]

they work on anything that has 4-pin connections

[mortal grail]

One's that are labelled for corsair rgb to 5v argb and you're good

[crude igloo]

the far right is google but thats not the google icon

[verbal ridge]

Cooked

[mortal grail]

Or if really really old corsair

Like the ancient 2018 stuff

12v

[cedar compass]

Who buys Corsair nowadays

Corsair rams sux lol

[steel current]

a lot of people

[verbal ridge]

After 120 rgb elite

[craggy shoal]

not really 💀

[steel current]

thoughts on montech

[craggy shoal]

good. absolutely worth it

[verbal ridge]

Af120 rgb elite

[idle nexus]

something like this could work too https://www.amazon.com/Fancasee-Splitter-Internal-Motherboard-Extension/dp/B089KDCMDN/ref=sr_1_33?

[steel current]

ive seen so many 4000d builds

[idle nexus]

get power from SATA from PSU & then get PWM control from motherboard

[verbal ridge]

Tbh I’ll just get fan splitters they seem more basic and easy

[craggy shoal]

their cases are okay though. I don't like any of their parts that requires their garbage software

[verbal ridge]

Idk which I’ll get tho

I need to buy it now

[craggy shoal]

yes and less bloaty on iCUE

[idle nexus]

it's fine as long as you don't overload the motherboard headers

[verbal ridge]

I only have 6 fans

[nocturne flicker]

Someone has to be spending the 300mil they get a quarter

[verbal ridge]

3 fans to one slot?

Or should I do 2 fans to one slot

[idle nexus]

$4.50/each https://www.amazon.com/XMSJSIY-Adapter-Splitter-Desktop-Computer/dp/B093ST9W5L/ref=sr_1_27?

[verbal ridge]

I have 3 headers

[craggy shoal]

I have 6 fans to a single port rn lol

[idle nexus]

ya just do splitters

ya you're likely fine

which fans are they & which board (if you want me to check for hecks & giggles)

[verbal ridge]

As rock b650m pro rs wifi and af120 rgb elite fans 😂

[verbal ridge]

Bruh

What mb

[craggy shoal]

Asus Prime Z790-P Wi-Fi

I'll do all nine of my fans to a single port idc lol

[verbal ridge]

😭

[mental yoke]

L

[craggy shoal]

this guy

L

[verbal ridge]

Blud

[mental yoke]

I saw that.

[verbal ridge]

U saw nothing

[mental yoke]

phone drier than my clothes

[verbal ridge]

Same gng

[mental yoke]

Why’d this guy react to my chat with ‘💀’ when bro’s the one who got censored by a bot?

[idle nexus]

do I have the wrong motherboard...?

[sinful blade]

Anyone wanna do some somersaults

[mental yoke]

Me

[verbal ridge]

If I use the fan splitters will I still be able to use the Corsair icue and all that to control the fans

[verbal ridge]

As rock b650m pro rs wifi

[mental yoke]

oh god

[idle nexus]

I count 5 lol

[craggy shoal]

I would try to go away from Corsiar iCUE if I were you lol

[mental yoke]

the flash

[verbal ridge]

Yessir

[idle nexus]

there are 5 fan headers not 3

maybe I'm confused

[mental yoke]

Corsai iCUE is straight up malware

[verbal ridge]

Top two are cpu fans

[idle nexus]

like Razer

[wary fjord]

clean the thumbnail cache i think

[craggy shoal]

Use Signal RGB

[verbal ridge]

Stfu man 😭😭😭🙏🏾

[idle nexus]

it doesn't matter lol

[mental yoke]

• takes up a lot of space for just an rgb software

[verbal ridge]

Oh..

[craggy shoal]

I'm thinking of ditching my Razer mouse lol

[verbal ridge]

I’m using one rn for cpu obv

[mental yoke]

I’d rather not stfu

[verbal ridge]

So 4

[mental yoke]

thanks though 🙂

[craggy shoal]

I want a good 8K Hz polling rate mouse

[verbal ridge]

ok

[idle nexus]

time to join the cool kids (me) & get a trackball lmao

[cedar compass]

[craggy shoal]

[mental yoke]

yeah, im actually a website creator now

[wary fjord]

hope u dont use the bt mode of that mouse

i dont trust any bt on any mouse

xD

[mental yoke]

i dont. xD

[wary fjord]

RECEIVER is fine

bt is meh

[idle nexus]

heck windows 11 is moving the troubleshooters to the "new Get Help troubleshooting platform" so they can do nothing & fix nothing there I guess

[wary fjord]

wrong msg

this one

[idle nexus]

lol it does nothing I knew it

[tranquil pebble]

it actually does work, albeit on a fixed set of issues it is programmed to detect

I've had it fix things before

[idle nexus]

well I can't share across devices cuz it says I've tried to sign in too many times or something

it's said this for like a week now lol

[rancid juniper]

@tranquil pebble found this meme, didn't want to bring up the topic again but it's too funny (coping)

[tranquil pebble]

fr this is the absolute dumbest thing I've ever seen Microsoft do

[rancid juniper]

The fact bro said that the day after is baffling

Like are you hearing yourself?

[tranquil pebble]

would have been better if Sega had acquired Tango ngl

[rancid juniper]

Would've been nice, I don't remember if that publisher ever shut down a studio

Just like nintendo

[tranquil pebble]

Look what Sega did with Atlus... they started breaking sales records after Sega bought them

[rancid juniper]

For sure, they even made atlus go multiplatform

And look how that turned out

It sucks that they no longer make consoles but they getting mad bank making games

[tranquil pebble]

P5R was literally Metacritics highest rated PC game of the year

[rancid juniper]

Persona 4 rewind is the next remake hopefully

Heheh

RTX 5090 LEAKED SPECS
RTX 5090 LEAKED SPECS
RTX 5090 LEAKED SPECS

[mortal grail]

Hey guess what

[rancid juniper]

Take with grain of salty

[mortal grail]

Do you like power draw

Cos I don't

[rancid juniper]

No I hate it

[mortal grail]

Get ready for 700W tdp

[rancid juniper]

🤢

[mortal grail]

800W

900W

Strix 6 slot gpu

[rancid juniper]

Oh man.. that's not innovation

[mortal grail]

It's ada refresh, you shouldn't expect any less from blackwell

[rancid juniper]

This ain't parasite Eve

Lel

[rancid juniper]

Ada refresh?

._.

[mortal grail]

Same process node higher clock and core count

[rancid juniper]

Cringe

So where's real Blackwell?

[mortal grail]

Looking forward to 5090 ventus

800W FWEEEEEEEEEEE

[rancid juniper]

That's a bomb

[tranquil pebble]

oh my god jc a bomb

[mortal grail]

All those 12vhpwr melting connectors

[rancid juniper]

[mortal grail]

Yep, please stop me when my lack of faith is clear

[rancid juniper]

Real

[mortal grail]

Remember when itx smol for gpu

Now itx snap from 5090

New feature !

[rancid juniper]

Adds +5fps

[tranquil pebble]

AMD and Nvidia should sell laptop GPUs in desktop form to make SFF GPUs.

[mortal grail]

Oh god I don't even want to think about the laptops

They'll either all suck or all draw way too much power

LMAO

[tranquil pebble]

or both

suck + draw too much power = AMD Bulldozer in a nutshell

[mortal grail]

Starting to see why AMD rumour mill talks about abandoning the high end

[tranquil pebble]

more likely to abandon extreme end, like trying to compete with x90

They still do ok competing below that

[mental yoke]

U seen that video too??

[rancid juniper]

Yea lol

[mental yoke]

‘RTX 4090’

[rancid juniper]

Bungholio benchmarks

✅

[mental yoke]

by Captain’s Workspace or something like that right?

[rancid juniper]

Believe so

Thing was loud AF XD

[mental yoke]

Fr was.

https://youtube.com/shorts/FiECEX7gylw?si=uTXqm4ap9VlcXOHN

[mortal grail]

Maybe we'll get lucky and it's a bit more than just an ada refresh

Honestly don't really see the point to a gaming experience beyond a 4090 tho

Hell 4080

5090 probably runs everything at 4k high refresh which is absurd

[worthy meteor]

hasn't that been what we've been thinking for the past 2 generations

[tranquil pebble]

nah games will just reduce optimizing even further to cancel the gains

[rancid juniper]

The only thing coming from this is raytracing actually being playable without upscaling

[wary fjord]

5060 = 4090?

[wary fjord]

xD

[rancid juniper]

If a GPU can run RT or even PT natively then it's a strong one

But that wallet is gonna get squeezed

And rip power bill too

[mental yoke]

Perhaps

[mortal grail]

But then why make a game that's 20x harder to run and looks fractionally better cos heheh funny water puddles

[rancid juniper]

32K res water particles

[pliant berry]

too true

[mental yoke]

y’all wanna help me build a complete setup excluding pc for $5k?
