I just wanna use it to surf the web

#

Youtube and stuff

craggy shoal

I should try Unraid lol

storm narwhal

linux would probably let you reach 9 hours of batter ylife lol

chrome mirage

For some reason my coworkers don't know how an HDMI cable works so I have to fix their desktop docks for them

What would the PCIE be used for aside from storage if not GPU

elfin mural

Or wifi

chrome mirage
#

Got that Shaw router that overheats and shuts off

storm narwhal
#

aint that roger's one

chrome mirage
#

Rogers bought Shaw

storm narwhal
#

oh i forgot about that

#

yeah they sure did

#

I just slapped in bridge mode and used my own routers

chrome mirage
#

Mine was still restarting in bridge mode

#

I've had it replaced twice

storm narwhal
#

freakin rogers

#

/shaw

#

and now you can't even return your stupid modem to physical stores

#

like why

chrome mirage
#

I got a really good deal for tbaytel in the mail but I have another year left on my contract

storm narwhal
#

they force you to use canadapost to send your modem back

chrome mirage
#

I don't even have a store in my city

storm narwhal
#

like what difference does it make other than being more difficult to do?

#

make it an option, not a necessity is what I say

chrome mirage
#

Nearest store is in Winnipeg which is in a different province

#

I tried getting a Rogers phone plan and then they found out I live in Ontario and they made the price worse

storm narwhal
#

bruh

#

yeah that's stupid

chrome mirage
#

They almost moved the Manitoba border past my city which would have made a lot of things more convenient but I guess they decided not to.

storm narwhal
#

they just went, nuh uh

#

like how part the greenbelt is suddenly no longer considered protected

#

lets build a highway!

chrome mirage
#

I know people that drive to Manitoba to buy gas and booze because of how much cheaper it is

storm narwhal
#

who needs these trees here anyway

elfin mural
#

are yall talking about uk kekw

elfin mural
#

greenbelt? more like old people's farmlands

#

i guess they have a similar concept huh

chrome mirage
#

Not farmland just trees and swamps

#

We have the queen on our money so we have a lot of UK inspired stuff.

elfin mural
#

the uk is

#

well it's imploding

#

after brexit

chrome mirage
storm narwhal
#

but highway

chrome mirage
#

Kind of annoying because I drive a quad there

storm narwhal
#

simply drive through the trees-

chrome mirage
storm narwhal
#

damn yeah that's a lotta tree growth

chrome mirage
#

We have a lot of water so I assume that's why they grow so fast. There's at least 30 swamps in walking distance from my house

storm narwhal
#

oh damn

#

yeah I'd wager a guess that's one of the reasons haha

#

though i don't know too much about trees

sour falcon

Samsung preparing new NVMe storage New SSDs were spotted at South Korean trademark service.  The 990 PRO SSD launched in 2023 didn’t have PCIe 5.0 technology, even though competitors had already introduced their solutions. Since then, faster PCIe 5.0 SSDs have been released, but rather than compete with something that will eventually be replaced...

I went to fix the leak in my shower but my caulking gun is too short

Sorry random question lol...
I want to keep my PC on overnight, so I can keep a game on (so my servere doesnt die). But I tried once and it was mega hot in my room 😄
Anyone know any recommended Power saver settings to reduce this?

I keep my pc on maximum pcie power savings and set maximum cpu usage to 30%

boreal cosmos

my rtx 3080 is at 55c-65c when idle is this ok?

proud jackal
#

idle

#

do you have a video or web browser open

#

or anything that may make the gpu render something

boreal cosmos
#

brb checking

proud jackal
#

and are you running a high refresh monitor

#

high refresh will make idles higher

boreal cosmos
#

yeah i have 144hz monitor

#

everything beside the temp checking software open - and still 60c

proud jackal
#

55-65 is usually temps when theres gaming load

boreal cosmos
#

it reaches 92c after 2 minutes when playing bodycam lol

proud jackal
boreal cosmos
#

and same temps after 20m playing cod bo2

proud jackal
#

might want to check your fan speeds

boreal cosmos

or it might be other reason?

proud jackal

Temp #3 is hotspot

rancid juniper

Is that what's hitting 92c?

rancid juniper
boreal cosmos
#

3 spots i gusse, i got 1

sweet phoenix
#

Which one was hitting 92

boreal cosmos
#

the #3

sweet phoenix
#

You're fine

#

I would download msi afterburner to make sure temps are reporting right

#

Actually third is vram sensor I think

#

But still, same difference

#

As long as that stays under 105c you're fine

boreal cosmos
#

but it escaltes quickly...

#

within minutes it reaches 92

sweet phoenix
#

110c is when thermal damage occurs on gddr6x

boreal cosmos
#

if i run bodycam

sweet phoenix
#

Repadding and pasting will help temps no doubt

#

I mean it's at best two years old, up to four

#

God knows my 3060 ti needs new pads/paste and fan replacements

rancid juniper

Repasting + undervolting (if possible)

can anyone help me with a windows issue in #windows-ios thanks

chrome mirage
#

Fixed my steam deck. The battery connector ended up coming unplugged

velvet summit
#

Windows 10 used like 5gb of ram when I had 16gb ram on boot

#

Actually, maybe more like 4

#

After upgrading to 48gb ram, it went to like 8gb on boot

#

And it was around the same amount when I reinstalled to 11

#

Note that your startup apps take ram

#

If you made a system with 8gb ram now, windows 11 probably would only take 2gb on boot

devout forum
#

I really hope I can upgrade to 32gb of memory soon-ish

elfin mural
#

For me with only chrome running

#

Windows uses 6 gigs of ram

#

That's with me running 16 gigs

nocturne flicker
#

Chrome evil, uses all the ram. Firefox betterer

Made the switch back when Google said they'd be limiting adblocks on Chrome

elfin mural

Using multiple adblocks on top of chrome's bleh resource usage Oh_No

elfin mural

I actually swapped em

Disabled one to use the other

nocturne flicker

Mmm. Which one you using?

elfin mural
#

Adblock

#

Used to use ublock

But it's not compatible with manifest v3 so I had to swap

nocturne flicker

Adblock is still being updated?

elfin mural

Surprisingly lol

I was googling for manifest v3 adblocker

That's what I'm sayin

It has never happened

mighty hazel

that literally happens when u melt plastic to make it

to make different things

elfin mural

ik

It's only now that it's really bad

mighty hazel
#

eh id be scared of other things more than that

#

theres more of a chance of a supervolcano going off than that

elfin mural

I'm not really scared, I probably won't live long enough to see the world crumble

#

So it's a non issue

mighty hazel
#

crumble how? thats not gonna happen unless u consider natural disasters. then thats already happened a lot

elfin mural
#

It just shows the extent of the damage we're causing

Be optimistic all you want, but all I see it is

We either live in space or other terraformed planets

Or we all die

This is my own view, so take a grain of salt

like ive gotten proper like 900/700 speeds and never saw any benefit

#

this is like my first proper time actually getting good downloads and such

#

its a nice change of pace

11 up is pretty doodoo whyen i backup a bunch of photos

silver sparrow
#

yeah

#

i dealt with complete horrid internet for yeaaars

rancid juniper

totally fine with 12up ig

wise wigeon
#

anyway ya'll think a sn850 aight for a casual pc user that just games and does hw

honest birch
wise wigeon
#

because i usually minmax my stuff so no idea what a more budget ssd is

#

yeah

#

its a gen 4 from wd

#

600tbw i think 5 year warranty

silver sparrow
#

im not tooo nvme savy, but it really depends on the type of cell

#

and your usecase

#

if you are constantly downloading, and deleting data ect

wise wigeon
#

not me but dude mostly plays games

#

not a lot of games but he does like download free stuff he finds to try

wise wigeon
#

ssds arent my forte either

mental yoke
storm narwhal
#

iirc the sn570 was pretty nice too

wise wigeon
#

i think a sn750 is my games drive

silver sparrow
# wise wigeon ssds arent my forte either

all i know is that the more bits per cell the less cycles it can do, hindering life span ect, so if you just have a game drive qlc works great as you can just download and not really ever rewrite the cells

storm narwhal
#

but i think that's 3rd gen

I love my SSDs

theres also cache you want too consider cause cacheless is bad

@wise wigeon i use tlc for my windows boot drive and im 90% sure my 4tb game drive is qlc

storm narwhal
#

the 570 has an SLC cache

#

but its kinda small so sustained writes do get a lil slow

read speeds great though

I might get myself a 4TB just for the hell of it. lol

Oh shoot so the MB200GCWDA was a refurb 2tb hdd i got i think from newegg lol

its a refurb hp drive apparently

Why'd you choose that instead of another nvme?

cheaper im guessing..?

450 for 6900xt new? good deal?

not worth it for oem card

u can get a 3080 or something for that much

arent 7700xts pretty much similar in performance to 6800xt

time to see if a 200mv undervolt pushes this chip over the edge

grand kernel

but I figure if it's stable with a heavy enough undervolt to stay under 80c on intel stock cooler in a closed nzxt h510

that's pretty good

200mv failed to boot

they're getting sued too

Like in fl studio, I can just click and drag over automation points (like keyframes but for FL) and move stuff around. its easy to manipulate stuff. they designed it in a way where you can think "can i just drag this to here with a single click" and it will actually work

#

But in adobe its set up in a weird way where like you have to sit there and read documentation and watch videos to do simple things

#

It took me a long time to move audio keyframes. like why can i just use the select tool and drag over all of them and move them? its literally that simple
