[rancid juniper]

AMD is in a weird spot tbh

[sinful blade]

AMD needs to kick their mega high end in gear
And also make low end cards that aren’t the 590 and 560 type garbage

[rancid juniper]

For real

Unrelated to gpus: I knew something was wrong when AMD dumped ryzen 3 and athlon

[opaque sedge]

Mid range seems to pretty good no? With the gre and 7900xt?

[sinful blade]

Yeah, the mid range for Amd just blows nvidia out for value/perf

But high end, nvidia wins out
And low end, nvidia also wins out

[opaque sedge]

Left is the 7900xt and the right is the gre

[rancid juniper]

The next highest end model will be an RX 8800 XT I presume

[opaque sedge]

Will prolly return the gre tho

[rancid juniper]

So people shouldn't expect much except maybe for an RT perf boost

[opaque sedge]

Debating if i should try it out or not in my system

[opaque sedge]

Yh the 4060 ti seems to be rather popular

[sinful blade]

AMD needs to make a cheap competitor to the 1080/1080ti and 2xxx series

[sinful blade]

It is, but it’s not exactly high tier

It’s more middle than high

Like a high-middle

[sweet phoenix]

???

What?

[sweet phoenix]

The 4060 ti is horrid value

Last gen perf for the same price it was in 2020

[sinful blade]

Like something that is like the 6600xt in perf, but like $120

I struggle to convey my point

[sweet phoenix]

I mean those gpus are all used though

5700/xt would serve that purpose

[sinful blade]

But 5700xt doesn’t hold up in games like cyberpunk like the 1080ti does

[sweet phoenix]

Theyre very similar in performance

Unless there's something the 5700xt lacks that the 1080 ti has, I know they both lack mesh shaders

[sinful blade]

Dx12?

Wow so nice to have my gmail hacked on my bday

[mighty hazel]

u pneed 2 factor authentication

[chrome mirage]

I have 2fa and an extremely long randomly generated password

[mental yoke]

Generated passwords are more likely to be compromised than just a normal one if you make it up yourself

[mighty hazel]

🗿 nice

[brittle lynx]

I have that but apparently someone managed to get into my ms account and then i started getting warnings from google about suspicious activity

[mental yoke]

Authenticator 🤷‍♂️

[chrome mirage]

It's like 50 characters. Also that's why you have multiple lines of defense

[brittle lynx]

Guess ill change most psw related to that mail

They're still trying to log in to my ms account

[mild dew]

I honestly don't trust this

See daniel owen or hardware unboxed for true benchmarks

Also 1440p is a irrelevant resolution for cards below 4060ti performance tier

Soo there you are just which trash is less trash

[idle nexus]

what an exciting time to be alive

I found a driver to run RTX30xx on Windows 8.1 https://archive.org/details/nvcleanstall-474.30-win-8-signed

lol

[elfin mural]

lol

[idle nexus]

I was benching RTX3060 for the heck of it

I found that driver & ran Aquamark

at stock settings I beat the no.1 score (on win11) by 60k boints

felt like cheating ngl

[mild dew]

549 to 519 that doesn't sound very significant

[elfin mural]

It is fairly significant

When all you can get for $519 is a 4070

Not even the super

But if efficiency matters a lot to you, stepping down to 4070 sounds reasonable enough

[opaque sedge]

Why tf did i look this up 😭

[devout forum]

NGL I just realized how much power consumption matters to me

I mean yeah, perf is king but

If you have to blast power for it, you'll not have a good time in the summer (I'm only running a 7600X in eco mode and a 6700XT and my room gets unbearably hot by the end of the day)

[velvet summit]

https://tenor.com/view/first-time-meme-first-time-the-ballad-of-buster-scruggs-gif-24656975

[devout forum]

That might unironically end up the reason why I'm not gonna get a GRE

[velvet summit]

i have my desktop in the living room (nobody watches tv in my house) so my room doesnt get hot

[devout forum]

It goes up to like 300 watts

[velvet summit]

i just remote into my desktop if i want to lay in bed and play some games or whatever

honestly that would be the perfect application for a steam deck but whatever

maybe i'll win one in a giveaway someday

[devout forum]

Rn I only have the one desktop

So I'm kinda constrained there

[velvet summit]

i remote into my desktop with my phone

though technically i have like 5 desktops

mostly old pcs though

[devout forum]

Problem for me really is that I tend to shut down my PC when I'm not home

[velvet summit]

my desktop runs 24/7

[devout forum]

Just not comfortable leaving it running

[velvet summit]

what, you think it would explode?

[devout forum]

It also saves power (since power costs are sky-high here)

[velvet summit]

oh

power is dirt cheap here

[devout forum]

Lucky

[velvet summit]

nuclear power ftw

60% of the energy generated here comes from nuckear

[devout forum]

We have a nuke plant too but it's not enough

[velvet summit]

the rest is green and coal

[mighty hazel]

how is 80 fps trash lmao

[devout forum]

But yeah I'm constrained by external factors

[mighty hazel]

At ultra sertings

[mighty hazel]

it is true benchmark. 4060 is ass

[devout forum]

NGL even 4060 Ti is bad value

[mighty hazel]

its tested at pcie 3. the gpu is pcie x8 and 128 bit bus. Its basically same as gtx 1050 in specs

[devout forum]

4070 minimum if you buy nGreedAI

[devout forum]

says just after talking about how it's possible to get one of their GPUs cuz of power consumption

The irony is not lost on me there

[dusk knot]

What country is this?

Or is this the world?

[velvet summit]

my province specifically

ontario, canada

other provinces have different mixes

[devout forum]

I just want a nice PC ffs
One I'll actually be comfortable using

[velvet summit]

i think my province has the higher amount of nuclear power generation though

compared to the other provinces in the country

but yeah

over 90% of our power is green power

the rest is hydrocarbons

[velvet summit]

oh yeah

we have almost all the nuclear power plants in canada

canada has a total of 19 nuclear power plants being used commercially to generate power

18 of them are in ontario

[dusk knot]

Damn nice

[velvet summit]

you havent seen my desk

[mighty hazel]

or on top of the pc

[velvet summit]

there are kevlar gloves (so i dont accidentally cut myself)
there is an old hdd
there is a multimeter with a blown fuse i have yet to buy a new fuse for because they are strangely expensive

So as long as the mud is wet, the humility is high as well as the heat, and there's plenty of foliage, you should be almost completely invisible from infrared.

im upgrading my drivers

[nocturne flicker]

There is also one from Japan for about 420 after shipping. Says it has windows 95 in the name but the decription says 98 2nd edition

[kind verge]

after switching to amd

but its stuck on 95%

for like 10 minuets

minutes

im cooked

[nocturne flicker]

Oh wait, equipped with Windows 95 and it sometimes starts up

[mortal grail]

Stop the install, do a DDU (Instructions below) then restart the process

?ddu

[topaz crown]

AMD's ACU installer also works

But it will nuke chipset drivers too just a heads up

[kind verge]

i cant stop the download

[mortal grail]

?

Are you just downloading it or installing

[nocturne flicker]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/326127742703

[kind verge]

installing

[mortal grail]

If it's hung on install for 10 minutes you can stop it

It's stuck

i.e crashed

Happens on both AMD and Nvidia

[kind verge]

theres no stop button

[nocturne flicker]

That one is cheaper, but says they overhauled the main body?

[mortal grail]

There's a restart button on windows

Lol

Hold shift and click that

[kind verge]

wont my brand new gpu be cooked

[mortal grail]

It's cooking itself if you leave it there

It won't finish lol

The install takes 2 minutes not 10

From my massive amounts of experience with AMD, I can tell you that you've waited long enough

Hold shift then press restart

[kind verge]

aight restarted

[mortal grail]

If you haven't downloaded DDU download it now

Or move it via usb onto the pc

[kind verge]

i was just scared bc that was my first gpu upgrade lol

[mortal grail]

You're ok

[kind verge]

alr done it earlier today

[mortal grail]

Sweet

So you should have the option to select safe mode

Refer to the instructions above

When you're done, reinstall the same driver

Takes 5 minutes max

[kind verge]

i've already cleared all drivers today

[mortal grail]

Do it again

[kind verge]

aight

[mortal grail]

It failed the install, do it again

If it fails a third time, something else is wrong

[kind verge]

btw the drivers i was installing are installed

[mortal grail]

but the AMD card ones weren't, no?

[kind verge]

i deleted all nvidia drivers with ddu

[mortal grail]

Yes that's correct

[kind verge]

and now i was updating the amd card drivers

[mortal grail]

Yeah and it got stuck right

[kind verge]

but the installing process got stuck and i was scared to restart

[mortal grail]

Yeah so you do DDU again but this time pick amd

[kind verge]

but now they're installed and the card works fine

[mortal grail]

Eh no

No no no

It didn't finish

DDU it and do it again

[kind verge]

k

[mortal grail]

It may work now but it may not later

It was an incomplete install

GPU drivers are the most annoying things to keep stable in a new pc these days

I wouldn't chance it

[velvet summit]

Damn they shipped my schiit fast

It took 2 hours for my schiit to come

fastest schiit in the west

[worthy meteor]

Schiit op

[velvet summit]

because they're made/assembled in cali and texas, therefore the west

fedex says it'll arrive on monday

which is actually really fast

i paid for international economy shipping

[random osprey]

just go to texas and pick it up

[velvet summit]

real

[random osprey]

save on shipping

[velvet summit]

it would cost so much more lmfao

[random osprey]

yeah but you wouldnt have to pay for shipping

[velvet summit]

actually i wonder how much it would cost to fly to texas

lmao

600-700 it seems

[random osprey]

[velvet summit]

i mean

to be fair, it is the summer break now

lmao

though i went on break a bit earlier and already went on vacation

so my round trip flight to vancouver was like

one method you could try is using some superglue on a screwdriver, and careful to put it right on the screw

Yeah there is an asrock one for cheaper

[sinful blade]

There’s a 1080ti for $159 on eBay

That's weird looking meat

[elfin mural]

The weird looking meat isn't the problem

But the freezing water

As water defrosts, it expands

The bottle will be an explosive waiting to explode

[fluid robin]

@elfin mural uh, no

[elfin mural]

I've seen far too may water bottles shooting out water

Cuz they were packed full with frozen water

[fluid robin]

Water expands when it freezes lol.

[elfin mural]

Sorry I'm dyslexic

[fluid robin]

That's why pipes burst

[elfin mural]

I remembered the wrong way round

[unreal trail]

https://tenor.com/view/amen-gif-23345354

[light egret]

Water bottles like that are usually fine cause the plastic is flexible and can expand with the water. Anything more Ridgid will be at a big risk of exploding. I've never had a water bottle like that explode

[elfin mural]

I worded that wrong tbh

It should be more like water shooting out

Once you open the bottle

[mental yoke]

Alright so, I'm thinking of getting a 1440p 240hz monitor , any recommendations ?

[light egret]

I mean once they defrost the pressure goes back down too

We used to freeze those and put em in an ice chest with food to go to parks and stuff, they keep food cold and in turn we have water to drink without wasting much space with ice lol

Never had one shoot water out at me

[gleaming sedge]

It’s beautiful

[sinful blade]

Gpu vending machine

[young matrix]

No

Its the best value printer imo

Worth every penny

[gleaming sedge]

Now only is it was not raining so UPS could be open and do their job

[young matrix]

Fr

Kingpin could be back

Not evga, but the kingpin model will come back as a brand

[gleaming sedge]

USPS shipped part of the order half way across the USA but UPS can't do 200 miles in less that a week

[young matrix]

Pny probably

[young matrix]

Ups moment

Ups is painfully slow for me

Fedex is just bad

[gleaming sedge]

FedEx just throws the packages where ever and literally throws them, UPS just takes their time and makes awful excuses for being slow, USPS bit rough at times and can be a little annoying but much better than them 2

[rancid juniper]

Bruh got scared for a moment when the dram lights turned red and the PC wasn't booting up, took out the ram and reverted bios then installed it after. Works phew

I guess that stick in the right either got loose or pc got hit a bit idk

[rancid juniper]

sucks that EVGA doesn't want to partner with either intel or amd. It's understandable that they stopped making GPUs

https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-hints-at-ai-generated-textures-and-objects-in-future-games

🤢

[gentle canyon]

It’s beautiful

[elfin mural]

textures i don't mind if it has like

humans looking at it and editing it

[young matrix]

God no

[rancid juniper]

[rancid juniper]

game devs: nah imma let it do its thing

[light egret]

I miss my EVGA GPU

[elfin mural]

if kingpin brand really is pny

then there won't be evga-like service

[rancid juniper]

i never owned an evga gpu

oof

[light egret]

Every Nvidia GPU I've had had been EVGA. They were the best. I had a friend who rma'd their EVGA 1080 and got a 2070 or somethin like that cause they didn't have the original in stock lol

[rancid juniper]

lol

[light egret]

I wanted to do a full EVGA build at one point lol

Pretty soon tho AI is gonna take over everything.

[dusk knot]

Good

I'm tired of working

ngl i wish the ram speed/size was better on that build tbh

[dusk knot]

Skipped that vid lol

[sly plover]

Would yall say i should undervolt my 3080

[mild dew]

apparently camm2 will fix stuff like that

but for the build 5200$ seems not that much tbh

[sweet phoenix]

I'd say power limit it to 80-95%

[rancid juniper]

expensive ah build

[elfin mural]

camm2 is the future of computing

In terms of memory

[rancid juniper]

gonna be crazy good for laptops

i can see that

[elfin mural]

Less distance to the cpu

[rancid juniper]

igpus: "gets even more OP"

😳

[sweet phoenix]

Very much so for workstation tasks I'd imagine

[elfin mural]

And higher bandwidth means higher requirements for signal integrity

DDR6 will come as camm2 only

Because of said requirements

[rancid juniper]

the age of Dimms are coming to a close

[elfin mural]

ya

Now we just slot in and screw in some screws

At least in the future

[rancid juniper]

i think my next build may be around late DDR6 early DDR7

[mild dew]

yeah with ddr6 and beyond

[rancid juniper]

like my current pc can do anything at this point

ill just watch

[sly plover]

upgraded from a 1080ti so im kinda used to running hot

9900k + 3080

thing is an absolute heater

[elfin mural]

We'll definitely see rgb panels that cover the camm module

[mild dew]

a cpu upgrade would not hurt

[elfin mural]

idk how to feel about that

[sly plover]

meh

[elfin mural]

The added heat might be a concern

[sly plover]

doesnt bottleneck

so why would i

[elfin mural]

Then rgb heatsink would be a way to it I guess

[mild dew]

fair

[sly plover]

9900k is still a really respectable cpu

[mild dew]

i keep running into cpu limits in my games with a 7500f+4060ti

[sly plover]

about 10700k level which is 11600k level which is 12400k level

psure thats how it works

[unreal trail]

[sour falcon]

me in the sff with the power limit at 115%

[sweet phoenix]

In what games.

[sweet phoenix]

Yeah 9900k will def limit a 3080, but it isn't a horrible pairing

Especially if you have tuned b die or rev e

[mild dew]

pretty random can range from AAA like Dragons dogma 2 to indies like dave the diver

[sweet phoenix]

Just manually bent three pins back into place on this 2600x

Let's hope it actually works...

I do not understand how to get this into the socket

God PGA sucks

Also I'm fairly sure the last dude left his cooler mounting bracket on this b450

Bruh

The dude took the silver part around the socket

[mental yoke]

What do y’all think of this?

[sweet phoenix]

Unless this is a mounting bracket?

[mighty hazel]

Limit it? Eh not really

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/305980946664914947/1252584789018411148/image_3.png?ex=667805fd&is=6676b47d&hm=590fbb7efd41550ff1046d61d652fc5bb1205355047bbc0acd3704e73ad9dec7&

[sweet phoenix]

What is this compared to

[mighty hazel]

It’s just some cpu bound games

[sweet phoenix]

Then how does that show it won't limit a 3080 lol

[mighty hazel]

In triple a games its gonna be even less of a difference between newer CPU’s and that

Cuz it’s a 3090 ti

It gets max fps

[sweet phoenix]

I mean... that's also likely at 1080p low settings

[mighty hazel]

Not low but it’s a cpu test

[sweet phoenix]

Then how does that show it won't limit a 3080

[mighty hazel]

So 1080p makes sense

If a 3090 ti gets max fps in those games on that cpu, a 3080 will be fine

[sweet phoenix]

You're making a completely separate point

First off, you're not going to be getting those frames in actual games

[mighty hazel]

Any triple a game will crank the 3080 to 99% gpu usage

On that cpu

[sweet phoenix]

Yknow what

Ok

[proud jackal]

What could go wrong

[random osprey]

apply coupon

more savings

[dusk knot]

It's already 10 dollars

Eeeh

[dusk knot]

[unreal trail]

picked a couple cucumbers from my garden

so good

[dusk knot]

Very nice

I wish I had a backyard to plant things

I would grow a ton of pineapples and watermelons

[rancid juniper]

In my backyard we have a few pineapples

And
P. O. T. A. T. O

[unreal trail]

potatoes are goated tbh

[rancid juniper]

Mangoes + avocados grow too

[rancid juniper]

Ye

[craggy shoal]

UMM

This is on Minecraft btw 💀

[rancid juniper]

Wut

Dang I didn't know Minecraft requires 6000% usage

[river elk]

Before I replace my psu and or motherboard, is there anything I should’ve done when swapping out my mobo that could be causing the power outs

[rancid juniper]

Honestly I don't know if you did it yet but I think you should try testing the PSU in another PC

[river elk]

I just don’t have a good psu

I have a 750W but that was the psu causing issues originally

This mobo broke regardless though btw

[rancid juniper]

Do you think the PSU broke it? (goofy assumption)

[river elk]

Potentially

But the mobo is cooked that’s all I know

[rancid juniper]

Yea that's likely, these psus when they crap out would take out something with it

[river elk]

Like I don’t know if maybe a driver error is causing this since I didn’t uninstall any drivers from previous mobo or gpu drivers

[rancid juniper]

Wished there was a failsafe or something to prevent it. Probably there is but for more expensive units obviously

[river elk]

My unit isn’t even bad though

[rancid juniper]

That's the odd part

But I guess when they fail they do the same thing?

[river elk]

A850GF

Yeah I dunno

Just as a Hail Mary last ditch

I didn’t know if like

It would be better to reinstall crap

[rancid juniper]

Hopefully nothing else was fried with it tbh

That's the scary part

[river elk]

I’m not even sure if I can replicate the crashing atp

[rancid juniper]

Doubt it

[river elk]

I think it might have stopped? LOL

ALL I DID was turn off tFpm or whatever it is

[rancid juniper]

(Technology moment)

[river elk]

And sfc/scannow

[rancid juniper]

Just like coding there is some BS that happens and you're trying to figure out why

[river elk]

Well let’s try xdefiant then

[rancid juniper]

[rancid juniper]

That Ubisoft game is gonna implode your pc

Lel

[river elk]

That’s so tough it’s my fav game

I genuinely will need to go back and get a new mobo though

Since tbis one is broken

[rancid juniper]

Ye

[river elk]

But I feel like my cpu also getting hotter

[rancid juniper]

What CPU u rocking?

[river elk]

Could that be from better vrms tho?

And 5900x

[rancid juniper]

Mmm

[river elk]

Here I’ll try xdefiant with PL at 112% lmao

That’ll be pulling close to 400w

[rancid juniper]

Bruh

Pulling 400w on a square rock chip doesn't look good

Intel flashbacks

[river elk]

My gpu can handle it

[rancid juniper]

☠️

[river elk]

Wait sorry 400w on my 3080tk

[rancid juniper]

I was about to say

How tf can a 5900x pull that much?

[river elk]

Can better vrms increase a cpu temp

It can’t lmao it pulls 150 max I think

[rancid juniper]

Better be

As for vrms I'm not so sure but I'm thinking the opposite

[river elk]

I’m not so sure the new mobo I got was better than my old one tbh

Unless I did a crap job at thermal pasting

[rancid juniper]

Cpus can still run hot even if the vrms are weak however the risk of it catching fire or failing may increase (i.e fx 9590 chip on weak vrm board)

[river elk]

I hate the no Profanity here

[pliant berry]

Too bad

[rancid juniper]

I got used to it long ago

[river elk]

I dunno much about vrms tbh

[rancid juniper]

Cmon you can think before you type, much easier than saying it verbally

[river elk]

Screw corporate servers

Anywho

I doubt a driver reinstall would fix any issues

[mental yoke]

Hey Y’all

[river elk]

I crashed on XDefiant btw

[rancid juniper]

Ubibug moment

[mental yoke]

I decided to sell my entire setup

[rancid juniper]

What?

[river elk]

I’ll buy a new mobo and psu, if the new mobo craps itself then I’ll replace the psu, otherwise I’ll return it

[rancid juniper]

Don't pair the new mobo with that sus PSU bro

[river elk]

Why

A. I can blame a factory defect if it kills it

B. My new mobo technically works fine

[rancid juniper]

Why risk it when you can get two new components instead of losing one again

[river elk]

It’s just powering off when high gpu loads happen

Cause I don’t wanna spend $80-125 on a new psu that I don’t need

[rancid juniper]

High
GPU
Loads

Powering off

PSU has got to go

Trust me bro, NEVER cheap out a PSU unit

It hurts to see that sting on the wallet but it's worth it

You won't have to worry about stuff like this

[river elk]

This wasn’t a cheap psu

That’s the issue or a bad one

[worthy meteor]

A-gl isn't a bad PSU

[rancid juniper]

._.

Defective unit

[river elk]

It was recommended by this server lmao and A rated

Ig but i feel like it’s failing early

[rancid juniper]

Yea

Does yours have a 10 year warranty?

If so then it's supposed to last a while

[river elk]

Probably

Yeah 10 year warranty

[rancid juniper]

I just stick to a Corsair PSU after upgrading my GPU

[rancid juniper]

Damn

[river elk]

Like the issue is by no means did I cheap out

[rancid juniper]

Can you RMA it?

[river elk]

Probably

[rancid juniper]

Do it

[river elk]

I don’t have the time for that

I’ll buy a temp psu

[worthy meteor]

A-gl has the same OEM as RMx for example

[rancid juniper]

💀

[river elk]

A-gf

Dunno of that matters

[rancid juniper]

A-gf that has kept you frustrated

Ok I'll stop

[river elk]

Mine has been an angel smh

[rancid juniper]

Lol ok

[river elk]

I’m gonna cable manage my crap before I leave

It’s so bad

[rancid juniper]

Spaghetti ah build

[river elk]

I mean I would know if it was shutting off due to poor thermal paste in the cpu right

[worthy meteor]

Does anything show up in event viewer

[rancid juniper]

Thermal shutdowns are just one of them, however it seems to be a power issue

[worthy meteor]

And does CPU temps look high

[rancid juniper]

^^^

[river elk]

I mean 70

Lemme see

[worthy meteor]

What are the GPU temps like

[river elk]

70 for custom loop

[rancid juniper]

Check hotspots

For gpu

[river elk]

Gpu is like 70-80? Idk

[worthy meteor]

80c bad, 70c kinda high

[river elk]

Lemme see

occt test it is

[craggy shoal]

I guess I have multiple CPUs in one laptop

[river elk]

Oh

OCCT shut it off bruh

[rancid juniper]

Was it the power test?

[river elk]

No

Gpu test

[rancid juniper]

[river elk]

I doubt it’s the gpu

I have 0 other gpu issues

[rancid juniper]

@worthy meteor thoughts?

[wind quail]

Use hwinfo64 instead of hwmonitor

[worthy meteor]

Iirc Nvidia GPUs usually throttles above 85c?

[river elk]

Besides maybe a screen tear cause I had to under lock power by 10%

[rancid juniper]

There's no way bro reached max t-junction and thermal shutdown that quick

[wind quail]

83 iirc but close enough

[rancid juniper]

Unless the thermal paste inside is THAT crusty

Heck not crusty, just dust

[river elk]

I didn’t

[worthy meteor]

There's a temp where it just instantly shuts down so it's possible

[river elk]

Hot spot is at 67

[rancid juniper]

Heh?

[river elk]

Gpu temp was 60

[worthy meteor]

If temp is fine maybe watch the power draw

[craggy shoal]

Yell at me, but what's the difference between the two if they're both software estimations?

[rancid juniper]

Guess power issue is most likely as I said before

[worthy meteor]

Btw are you using a daisychain cable?

[river elk]

OCCT will restore previous session before crashing

Yes

[worthy meteor]

For the GPU?

[river elk]

Yes

[rancid juniper]

Ooooooooioh

Oh my

[river elk]

Like the 2 in 1

I’ve used that my entire time

[wind quail]

Hwinfo64 is just more accurate idk what they do differently but it is

[worthy meteor]

Iirc a-gf has relatively low ocp trip points, that might be why, do separate cables

[rancid juniper]

^^^

[river elk]

What’s the max the hotspot temp should be

[rancid juniper]

I almost fell for that with my RM750X, I believe orange mushroom recommended me to use separate cables instead of daisy chain during my first installation

Never had an issue with power since

[river elk]

Does cpu pcie or vga cable even nagged

Hot spot seems to peak around 75

Is that bad

[rancid juniper]

No

That's very good

[river elk]

Gpu temp is 67

Mem junct is 66

I was gonna say I paid 1800 for a 3 layer card it better be running cool

[worthy meteor]

Actually I'm not sure, I thought a850gf has the weird low per rail ocp but it might only have one single ocp for the 12v rail

[rancid juniper]

What does this mean?

[worthy meteor]

But do try separate cables

[river elk]

I’ll try it

I’ve been running occt for 4 min and max temps are

76 for hotspot now

69 for temp and mem

I mean hotspot 80isnt bad I’m assuming right

[worthy meteor]

Not a problem yet

[river elk]

I’m gonna replace power cable now

Does it matter which daisy chain I use for the daisy chain cable

As long as I’m only using one

[worthy meteor]

Use the one closer to the PSU, not the end one

I think the end one usually has thinner wires and the sense pins gets ignored

[river elk]

Let’s test it out

I’m cable managing this when I replace the mobo

[rancid juniper]

Radiator

[river elk]

Radiator

I’m never custom looping again

[rancid juniper]

😂

[river elk]

Or if I am I’m spending the money to do it properly

I need a drain

Test of truth will it crash

It didn’t crash in 15s that’s positive

These temps finna be awful

It might have been the daisy chain cables I’m Ngl

That’s so stupid

[rancid juniper]

There are PSUs capable of handling daisy chains but not all of them

[river elk]

i mean

why would mine suddenly stop

I also want a bigger case

[rancid juniper]

I don't know much about psus but I hope you got your problem fixed by using separate pcie cables

[river elk]

011 is too small

[rancid juniper]

Pretty sure my case is smaller than yours

[river elk]

but you dont have a 3 slot card and pump

[rancid juniper]

I dont

[river elk]

cool microcenter price matches

[worthy meteor]

Looking again, I think a850gf does the multi rail ocp while a750gf only has one set ocp

[river elk]

motherboard time

who got suggestions

b550/x570

i cant even support a mATX hold on

[worthy meteor]

With the daisy chain, you're running 2 cables worth of power (bad wording I know) through one port on the PSU side, and when it's multi rail, usually each of the ports is one rail with their own over current protection, while usually over current protection with single rail psus only check the current across everything 12v

Forgot all the proper terminology for this stuff

[river elk]

bam these are all the mobos they have

click on em for more, any recs?

[worthy meteor]

Need wifi?

[river elk]

this makes sense I just never really thought of it

nah

I use ether

also gpu temps are fine this is 10 min occt test on 112% power

[worthy meteor]

I think b550-a pro is fine, might need double checking, but Aorus elite ax would be the rec if you need wifi.

[river elk]

lol

aorus elite is whats failing atm

the screws are the worst quality ive seen

B550-A pro is fine but i had b550 gaming edge from msi and thats what actually broke

aorus elite just had broken nvme screws

[worthy meteor]

Rip

[river elk]

besides those two mobos what would you think

if i somewhat care about ram/cpu oc

[worthy meteor]

Tomahawk should be fine for that

I remember x570 tomahawk being good but don't remember much about b550 tomahawk

[river elk]

its not even in stock

is open box a big deal

I think the daisy chain fixed the iossues lmao

now im just wondering if my cpu temps are ok

[mortal grail]

Sell AM4 buy AM5

[river elk]

these look goodA for occt power test?3.8ghz all core with custom loop 5900x

no

i cba to sell crap

[mortal grail]

Jog my memory here

You're buying x3d too yes

[river elk]

no

I literally just need a mobo

5900x + 3080ti

[mortal grail]

Mmmmmmmmmm

I still think it's a valid take lol

[velvet summit]

I wouldn't stay on am4

If you're changing mobo

[river elk]

i cant sell my 5900x

i do not have time

[mortal grail]

It's a bit of a hard ball path tho

[river elk]

i cba to buy a new kit of ram, mobo, and cpu

[mortal grail]

AM4 will devalue dramatically but AM5 will retain

[river elk]

bruh

[young matrix]

Not really

[river elk]

this pc wasnt meant to be upgraded

[mortal grail]

There's no "Bruh" about it, I'm being objective here

LOL

[worthy meteor]

Fallen is in the middle of classes iirc so it's very time sensitive

[river elk]

im just being explicit

yeah that too

[young matrix]

Ok doctor feetlicks if thats even your name

As if id trust a foot licker

[river elk]

im just saying i want a mobo theres nothing to be objective about

[mortal grail]

Sadge

[velvet summit]

He can taste all your ailments

[river elk]

if i was in hs maybe but i dont have the time nor energy to put i nto trying to sell my cpu and mobo

[river elk]

MSI B550 MAG Tomahawk fits my needs I would switch to this

[mortal grail]

Well I mean, that was my suggestion and it's rejected so

Lol

[velvet summit]

Could find a friend or smth idk

[river elk]

its jsut not feasible for me

they tried selling me this mobo and its kinda ass

[modern imp]

That board is fine

[river elk]

no USB c support

[modern imp]

Not a lot of IO, but it works

[river elk]

i would like at least 1 usb c port personally

[mortal grail]

I would try and go as cheap as possible here

Sub 100 if possible

[river elk]

sub 100 on a decent board?

[mortal grail]

There are some AM4 boards that meet that yes

Pro4, A520M Tuf II, couple examples

[modern imp]

If you want to waste money on am4 waste the least amount possible

[river elk]

i would be good for this

its not wasting money bro

I mean

do i need a new bracket for AM5

[mortal grail]

Not at all

[modern imp]

Outside of a few exceptions no

[mortal grail]

As far as

The work you need to do

It's like 5 more minutes

[river elk]

how much does a 5900x sell for

[modern imp]

95% of am4 coolers work on am5

[mortal grail]

Prolly about 200?

[river elk]

custom loop

200???

hell nah

[mortal grail]

maybe 250?

Like, it's going to be worth a lot less later

[modern imp]

It's only the small amount of coolers that replace the backplate that don't work on am5

[river elk]

cause I would need the CPU resale + $140 to make up cost for a AM5 board, DDR5, and new cpu

[modern imp]

The faster ADL devalues zen3 joins in

The 12700K is already below $200 new right?

[mortal grail]

Yeah pretty much

Hell, that's not even a bad suggestion actually

You could do 12700KF

[river elk]

i dont think its worth it atp 5900x is still too strong to spend this much money on AM5

[mortal grail]

DDR4 LGA1700 board

[river elk]

why would I want to go from a 5900x to a 12700kf

[mortal grail]

You move to a new platform

You extend to two new gens

[modern imp]

Outside of IO and single core that's a sidegrade

[mortal grail]

For now yeah but not later

[river elk]

i dunno its just not worth the hastle

but this pc wont be upgraded

im just gonna buy a new pc

I mean 5900x and 3080ti will individually last like what, at least 4 more years

[mortal grail]

https://tenor.com/view/8ball-bart-simpson-shaking-shake-magic-ball-gif-17725278

[modern imp]

What's wrong with the current board anyway

[river elk]

nothing tbh

besides nvme screws broke in the standoff

lemme try something

[mortal grail]

How many broke

Can you drill them out

[river elk]

I would rather return it

its not wirth it

both broke

[modern imp]

Just wait a few months for lga1851 and am5 refresh boards. Am4 boards should be worth almost nothing at that point

[river elk]

i cannot wait a few months

[mortal grail]

Both broke how

[river elk]

i have a 1 week return window

[river elk]

came broken

[mortal grail]

Is there a mobo shield

[river elk]

the heads of the screw was off

shield? I think?

[mortal grail]

If the standoff isn't what screws the mobo m.2 shield into place, you could really just ignore the standoffs tbh

It doesn't need to be screwed down, just held down

You could drill out the pieces later and request new m.2 screws

[river elk]

Pc shut off

Sigh

[mortal grail]

Other part of why I think changing from AM4 is worth it

[river elk]

Looks like I’ll be getting a new psu

[mortal grail]

Most unstable platorm fr

[river elk]

It’s the psu

Not anything else

[mortal grail]

I still make the small point, AM4 is probably the most unstable platform I've used to date
