[icy ore]

yeah in their more recent videos you can see their testing facilities they’ve put a crap ton of manpower and money into

[elfin mural]

and i appreciate that

their recent reviews basically had a glowup

even tested pc cleaner programs

[urban umbra]

Humans

[velvet summit]

poor point and laugh

[icy ore]

smh

[lucid field]

hi

[storm narwhal]

Real

[wary fjord]

just do microsoft edge reward tho

[light egret]

I heard it's bad out there lol. It was supposed to come towards me and just slowly shifted to that area instead

[dusk knot]

Hhmmm

[tranquil pebble]

I ordered a keyboard from China recently and it was scheduled to arrive on the 9th. However it appears it is already in my area out for delivery.

Looks like most of the time it takes to get something from China to my house is just logistics stuff. When its actually in transit it goes pretty fast.

[light egret]

woah since when could you hold click on youtube to go x2

[tranquil pebble]

probably since recently

Google is always making changes behind the scenes often without announcing them

[rancid juniper]

tomie is back?

[tranquil pebble]

hw acceleration failed on that for me recently but changing a flag or two fixed it

[oblique terrace]

Been a min since I talked here

Just bought this laptop

Stuck here for 10 min now

Nvm

[elfin mural]

it's likely drivers crashing

[oblique terrace]

It’s all good

Do I need to install drivers @elfin mural

Thought they came pre installed

[elfin mural]

It's always a good idea to do that

Pre installed stuff can be iffy

[oblique terrace]

🌝

[elfin mural]

I'd start with gpu drivers

tbh for audio you don't have to worry

It's the gpu drivers that's the thing that is always outdated

[young matrix]

@tranquil pebble @rancid juniper

[rancid juniper]

Hopefully the cashier had a change of heart when they saw you flee

[sinful blade]

Why has temu started running gaming pc ads on YouTube

I don’t want your virus ridden app

[plain stone]

what do you guys think of running a USB extender from an audio interface?

i'd like to lengthen pretty much all my cables cause now that my tower is sitting on my desk i'll have to redo my wiring

[mental yoke]

Hey yall

[pliant berry]

usb extenders could potentially cause issues But I have used then before for such applications

Preferrably I would run a longer high quality cable to a usb hub on top of the desk and wire all peripherals into that

[rancid juniper]

scott here

[velvet summit]

that laptop looks so like 2010

[oblique terrace]

Idk It’s got a 4080

[velvet summit]

is it the camera or is the plastic like that cheap looking "silver" plastic

[elfin mural]

not silver

it's like, msi was going for a stone grey

but to me it's cement grey LMAO

[icy ore]

smh msi

[plain stone]

i'm thinking of just running an adequate size usb hub to the back of the mobo then just plug all my peripherals to the hub, will that be all fine?

[tranquil pebble]

JIS kb arrived and it works almost exactly how I thought it would. It will take some getting used to but I can already type something quickly that I could not before.

[elfin mural]

jis, jap?

[plain stone]

that'll be like - only DP, ethernet, and 1 usb just behind the tower

[elfin mural]

or alternatively

wireless mouse and keyboard

tho that takes money ofc

[tranquil pebble]

yes

[elfin mural]

i wanna know japanese tbh

[tranquil pebble]

its qwerty but enhanced specifically for typing japanese

[elfin mural]

but i don't have the patience

[opaque sedge]

Thanks guys

[tranquil pebble]

Theres a dedicated key to switch between western and Japanese input

[velvet summit]

still looks cheap af ngl
at least from the image lmao

[elfin mural]

ya

it's bad

[mental yoke]

☑️

[sinful blade]

Would an Xbox one S be w worth while trade for a 3050 build?

[elfin mural]

nope

but if you really want a pc

i guess?

wait one s?

yeah in a heartbeat lol

i read it as series s

[plain stone]

eeyy would you look at that

used to be cable nightmare ontop the table

[elfin mural]

nice

[plain stone]

dunno why i didn't mount usb peripherals on my hub since forever

[elfin mural]

but i mean

a hub can power a mouse and a kb easily enough

safely enough

[plain stone]

yup, but i also included audio interface and usb mic

[safe cape]

https://tenor.com/view/perfect-10-score-gif-7911501

[paper verge]

pretty decent console used to play wz for 3 years on it. but kinda depends on the build aswell

[plain stone]

i asked the audio enthusiasts in crinacles server and their approval is enough for my casual ah lol

[velvet summit]

are you really using an audio interface as a dac ☠️

[elfin mural]

tbh xbox one s isn't anything strong

[velvet summit]

you could get an xlr mic

[elfin mural]

against a 3050, the 3050 is better

if it's the 8gb

6 gigs, hell nah

that's a 1060 with dlss

[paper verge]

that hdd is a bummer but its aight

[plain stone]

LMAO nah i plug my headphones in the main input when i want to

[velvet summit]

main input?

[elfin mural]

titan xp

oddly enough isn't all that bad of a value rn

$150-160 gpu

[plain stone]

my speakers aren't monitors so I can't put them in those L and R channels at the back

[safe cape]

no fans in the case ?

[elfin mural]

but if you can find 6600xt refurbs

are they really worth it

[plain stone]

2 front intake 1 outtake above the black case filter

[velvet summit]

that's not what im asking, im wondering why you have a m-audio interface if you are using a usb mic

[plain stone]

oh, it's actually because i want to run amp sims for my guitar

[velvet summit]

ahhh for an instrument

yeah that makes more sense then

[plain stone]

figured it would save me waaaayy more for very casual playing

and i can record too all in the pc

[velvet summit]

yeah pedals can get quite expensive

[plain stone]

so yea

[velvet summit]

what daw you using lmao

[plain stone]

as for xlr mic, maybe in the future but my fifine usb is more than enough for discord

i also have an equalizer APO config for the mic

[plain stone]

fl studio i bought online

[velvet summit]

ah

[plain stone]

it's really all i need for everything so it was very worth it

[velvet summit]

probably would have been fine with the cocoos reaper or whatever it was called again

cockos reaper

https://www.cockos.com/reaper/

[plain stone]

ah reaper plugins? used them once at first but idk it didn't really click with me

i don't think i understood it well to use it at that time lol

[velvet summit]

it's good for the price; though you already got fl so it's fine yeah

[plain stone]

yessir

Hello

am a professional website creator

[wraith fern]

Wild

I’m a professional website user

I use them quite often

Often they suck

[surreal kernel]

chat

thinking about factory reseting my pc

should I just upgrade to windows 11 now

are there any issues with it

[misty sparrow]

well there are a lot of ads in windows 11 compared to windows 10

you can remove them with tools though

[surreal kernel]

wait wym ads

[misty sparrow]

yeah well heres the thing

they place ads in the start menu, weather app, edge home screen etc

you can remove them but its a pain at least for me

[fair onyx]

The way I have it right now is the only way that's possible in the room

The side wall to the left is up against a window thats shorter than the bed, and it would fully blocky AC unit in the window

[surreal kernel]

I'm sticking with 10

idk I want to re install because I think there's something wrong

mad fps drops in every single game

[misty sparrow]

it's actually easy to remove all the microsoft telemetry n stuff if you install win11 in a specific way

[surreal kernel]

wait one question

[misty sparrow]

hit me

[surreal kernel]

ima upgrade later

[surreal kernel]

when reseting windows through settings

the cloud option downloads win through the web

(I have good internet)

should I do that?

like what's the difference between local and cloud

[misty sparrow]

yeah i think you should do cloud

[surreal kernel]

does my activation get saved?

[misty sparrow]

yes

[tranquil pebble]

I have the Keychron K5 SE now and it straight up puts the Razer Huntsman to shame at half the cost

[misty sparrow]

it just grabs a windows install from microsoft and reinstalls it

[surreal kernel]

alr ty

hopefully my lights don't go out

man just the thought of having to re download everything haunts me

wtf

[misty sparrow]

huh

try it again and see what happens

[surreal kernel]

this is what I'm saying

idk what's up with it

it's been acting weird

maybe my ssd giving up

download times been weird lately too

[misty sparrow]

huh

you ever install crystaldiskinfo?

[surreal kernel]

nah

[misty sparrow]

try getting that to check the health of your SSD

[surreal kernel]

I will after I reset it

[misty sparrow]

alright

so if you can't reset your PC through the traditional method you might have to try something different

[surreal kernel]

USB?

seems to be working rn

[misty sparrow]

ok

[surreal kernel]

ty for helping me out

[misty sparrow]

you're welcome

hit me up if you have any problems

[surreal kernel]

seems alr till now

ty

oh god

I can't unsee what I saw on the aorus logo

it looks like a Eagle making a fist

or is it actually making a fist

[misty sparrow]

it sort of does

[surreal kernel]

I need to find the lore behind it now

I'm interested

also I need to look at my cable management

I had not realised it was that bad

[proud jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/bocchi-bocchi-the-rock-anime-ぼっちざろっく-hitori-gotou-gif-27014586

[surreal kernel]

yo wtf

[surreal kernel]

hi theo

can I ask you something

pretty random question

I remember when I used to always ask about tech help here there was this one person named kenzie that was always around

wtf happened

[dusk knot]

[hoary zodiac]

Just a heads up

If your install is corrupt

[dusk knot]

NOOOOO

[hoary zodiac]

Resetting might not fix it

[surreal kernel]

hold on

what

why

[surreal kernel]

what

i remember they won a next giveaway right?

[hoary zodiac]

It doesn't reinstall windows

It's more of a factory reset

[surreal kernel]

that's the only reason I remember

[dusk knot]

he did

[proud jackal]

I should unban Kenzie, again.

[dusk knot]

🗿

no, theo

[surreal kernel]

if it doesn't fix nothing ima reset it via usb

[dusk knot]

he stays banned

[surreal kernel]

what happend wtf

[proud jackal]

They posted nsfw meme

[hoary zodiac]

Good idea

[dusk knot]

that and many things

[proud jackal]

[dusk knot]

we dont need them here

the server is fine just the way it is

[surreal kernel]

I did it once a year ago

idk if I wana go through that again

I forgot the sensitive filter

here

[hoary zodiac]

It really is just a part of using windows at this point

I reinstall windows annually because it somehow manages to break itself every single year

[craggy shoal]

Yeah this is what you're supposed to do

[surreal kernel]

if it doesn't work

[craggy shoal]

Every two years for me usually (stuff usually starts to break with no fix for me)

[surreal kernel]

idk what to say

wait I'm srupid

I didn't back up my valorsnr clips

😭

[craggy shoal]

Your what clips?

[surreal kernel]

valorant

[craggy shoal]

Lmao

[hoary zodiac]

nooo not the killstreaks

[surreal kernel]

😭😭

[misty sparrow]

I only saw Kenzie in here once

she was complaining about her pc not being powerful or something

or broken

[dusk knot]

tsk

it was a common occurrence

[surreal kernel]

you clearly ain't seen my messages

😭

75% of them are me asking for help

[dusk knot]

kenzie's level of breaking things and not listening are beyond your capabilities

[surreal kernel]

I'm just dumb in general really I hate it when I ask for help and then I have to ask again because I quite literally don't understand nun

note that English is not my first language too

so I can be a pain in the butt sometimes

[dusk knot]

youre nowhere as bad as Kenzie

[surreal kernel]

idk what they was up to tbh

[dusk knot]

you dont have the same vibes

[dusk knot]

thats no problem. youre cool and fit in this community

[surreal kernel]

I'm really paranoid and stuff and I could b asking some of the most entry level knowledge questions that I generally don't know anything about. And most of the time people think I'm a troll

[surreal kernel]

[dusk knot]

eh...

youre not annoying

its fine

[surreal kernel]

big up

thank you

[mental yoke]

Its normal to ask questions about things you don’t understand or know quite well.

[dusk knot]

mmhhmmm

no shame in it

people have to respect that

[mental yoke]

All of us ask questions about stuff that we aren’t sure about or how this or that happened or happens.

[surreal kernel]

it's 71% done rn

[mental yoke]

You have nothing to be ashamed of

[surreal kernel]

hopefully my issues get fixed

[misty sparrow]

"What color is an orange?"

"Ted, you bonehead. Its color is the same as its name, just like a lemon"

[dusk knot]

lol

[surreal kernel]

sometimes it can be a little too much ngl

[mental yoke]

I’ve been building pcs for years now and I still have questions.

Nothing wrong with asking for help, even if the answer is obvious.

[misty sparrow]

okay what the hell

its a REAL color?

[surreal kernel]

it's gon be a disaster once I get around to updating my bios

[mental yoke]

Don’t worry , we’ll be here for it

[surreal kernel]

I'm p sure my board has qflash or something people told me it'll be easy

[mental yoke]

I can’t wait to get my new standing desk bruu

I spent $300 on it

[surreal kernel]

that's insane

im saving up to buy a monitor

[surreal kernel]

tf

I have a costum desk it's pretty nice

I'm p sure I sent a pic here once

[mental yoke]

What it looks like on amazon

[surreal kernel]

ah everything so clean and nice

prime setup

now everything's destroyed

😭

[surreal kernel]

n I like this vibe more

might put my pc back on the ground

it felt much cleaner

[surreal kernel]

that's nice

bro my armrest is ruined

the leather is GONE

we're in boys

its finished

[misty sparrow]

nice

[surreal kernel]

lmao

[misty sparrow]

yeah they do that a lot

they shove ads sometimes

[surreal kernel]

I pressed decline like 7 times

God damn

[velvet summit]

me when fake leather

[surreal kernel]

blame rog not me

[velvet summit]

wait

you bought a rog chair

[surreal kernel]

I'm talking about my keyboards armrest

😭

[velvet summit]

oh

that isnt an armrest then LMAO

[surreal kernel]

what the hell is

app center

[velvet summit]

the rest on the keyboard is called a wrist rest

☠️

[surreal kernel]

is this more bloatware

[surreal kernel]

my bad

[misty sparrow]

to be fair

[surreal kernel]

😭😭

[velvet summit]

lmfao

[misty sparrow]

what qualifies as a good chair for gaming anyway

[velvet summit]

one that is comfortable

[misty sparrow]

because it seems like the ones that brand themselves as gaming are uncomfortable as hell

they're more like racing chairs than actual chairs

[velvet summit]

they just want to look cool

[surreal kernel]

should I install this

[velvet summit]

except the cost of looking "cool" (imo goofy) makes it quite uncomfortable

[misty sparrow]

looks like reinstalling windows also added some bloat software

if you want to use this tool you can

i just prefer getting the drivers off the website myself

[surreal kernel]

Idk if I need it

[lone mango]

[surreal kernel]

wait

mobos have drivers

[misty sparrow]

yes

[surreal kernel]

I never installed any

😭

[velvet summit]

they arent really usually required

the mobo drivers are mainly for like

rgb

or whatever

[surreal kernel]

oh

so now I need graphics drivers and processor

let me install adrenaline rq

whats the difference between these

?

[icy ore]

[surreal kernel]

what

it's the cpu thingy

wait did I download an overclocking software

😭

what the hell is storemi

wait bro

what

@dusk knot

so I texted at the aorus server to ask for help

and yk who texted in chat

what are the ods

kenzie

😭

[random osprey]

kenzie is in a lot of the pc servers

[random osprey]

would be more surprising to not find them in a server youre in

[surreal kernel]

makes sense

[dusk knot]

And Kenzie has been banned from more than just the server

I remember this one time a bunch of mods or somebody from somewhere else came in telling them how they banned them to lol

[surreal kernel]

jp can you please take a look at what I sent

idk which are the drivers for my cpu

[surreal kernel]

😭

[dusk knot]

I'm driving

[random osprey]

just stop driving

ez

[surreal kernel]

oh mb

[dusk knot]

I'm at a red stoplight

[pliant berry]

no need to keep talking about past members

eyes on the road jp

[misty sparrow]

jp remember this

life is a highway

you're gonna want to drive it all night long

[mighty hazel]

Isn’t that the guy that was broke but kept buying high end pc parts

[craggy shoal]

Yeah and also had hard drives laid out all on the bottom of the case, not even secured inside of drive bays

[dusk knot]

Yes

I can't believe somebody brought him back up

That's how impactful he was

[mighty hazel]

💀

[craggy shoal]

fr. keep bro out

[dusk knot]

Kenzie has been banned for almost 2 years...lol

[mighty hazel]

I remember I was in a few servers with him

[craggy shoal]

no way it's been that long already 💀

[mighty hazel]

He impulse bought a 4000 dollar pc cause the 4090 was out of stock 💀

Like mf just wait

[obsidian berry]

were they rich

[craggy shoal]

no

[mighty hazel]

No lol

Like almost broke

[obsidian berry]

💀

[craggy shoal]

The type of person to say that his 3090 is outdated because the 4090 is released

[craggy shoal]

We had a whole hurricane 💀

[obsidian berry]

ik

[craggy shoal]

It blew in slowly overnight and hit the whole city this morning

[obsidian berry]

my house was boarded up but the hurricane changed paths

where im at

[craggy shoal]

It's already passed us though

[obsidian berry]

now my house is just dark during the day

[craggy shoal]

I'm assuming you're west of Houston aren't you?

[surreal kernel]

can you help me with one last thing please

[obsidian berry]

yea

[surreal kernel]

my motherboard drivers

[craggy shoal]

Yeah I wish I was further west lol

Houston electricity infrastructure during Harvey, a Category 4 hurricane that engulfed the whole city: (basically a Chad and somehow didn't knock as many people's power)

This goofy little tropical storm that barely turned into a Cat 1 with a name that rhymes with "barrel": 2.1 million customers without power

makes no sense to me 💀

like what 😭

[icy ore]

Man Texas always has power problems I stg

[craggy shoal]

I'm saying bruh

[lone mango]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast_blackout_of_2003

[misty sparrow]

okay sure

[surreal kernel]

on the website or will windows update install em

[misty sparrow]

windows update should install motherboard drivers

at least, it did for me

[tranquil pebble]

Keychron K5 SE is apparently a Mac keyboard lol. It has Windows mode and keycaps though. RGB gaming Mac keyboard.

[icy ore]

Yeah true but also

Back when April 27 2011 came through Alabama and wrecked everything we’ve ever known we lost power for like 2 weeks at least lol

Which I know Texas also lost power during that ice storm a couple years ago for quite a while

[dusk knot]

Oh no

wait ur rigjt

idk what timezone I am

"EU people are very good at geography, due to that they have to know which country they're in"
This one EU guy:

[surreal kernel]

[dusk knot]

That's one of the most pesky problems

[surreal kernel]

wym

[dusk knot]

Did you restart your PC a few times?

To see if it changes?

[surreal kernel]

I did

I fixed my time

but this update won't get done

I think it's because I selected that I live in ameriva

in the beginning

[dusk knot]

Bruh

[surreal kernel]

I didn't see no albania option

don't blame me

[craggy shoal]

I hate going to a Microsoft support forum and there's that one "Independent Advisor" named "EliseM_456" and the first few suggestions I see are "try the update troubleshooter" and "try using the SFC tool" as if it isn't a fresh Windows installation

[surreal kernel]

what should I do

[craggy shoal]

Find your time zone lol

use google

[rancid juniper]

OH THATS DEEP

[mighty hazel]

Big sale

I need to get FH4, apparently it’s getting delisted

[craggy shoal]

get it

better than FH5

[rancid juniper]

im not paying over 5 bucks for FH4

[craggy shoal]

Still isn't the best Forza but still better than FH5

[mighty hazel]

It’s like 11 bucks rn

Fh5 was fun, don’t think I’ve tried fh4

[rancid juniper]

should be less than 5

[craggy shoal]

They should all be like $30 tbh

[rancid juniper]

wtf

like as in starting launch price or?

[craggy shoal]

tbh yeah

like bruh

[rancid juniper]

oh ok

[craggy shoal]

give us a good Forza

[rancid juniper]

its funny how horizon is getting delisted/MP removed when games like NFSMW 2012 is still in the market LMFAO

heck assetto corsa in the same boat

[craggy shoal]

"We have recreated and spent so much time building out Mexico and making the cars sound good"

1. It's Mexico. That alone drops the value down by $15
2. I would've been perfectly fine if they reused the FH3 and FH2 sounds. There wasn't anything wrong with those

Now it's just a boring and repetitive game

So I switched to Gran Turismo 💀

[rancid juniper]

if gran turismo gets ported to pc, the ps5 dies frfr

[craggy shoal]

fr imma sell my PS5 in that case

[rancid juniper]

😂

[craggy shoal]

GT is the only reason why I got a PS5

and I'm not exaggerating lol

[rancid juniper]

wild XD

[craggy shoal]

FH5 is boring

[rancid juniper]

no kidding

[craggy shoal]

Plus I have a whole sim rig setup that wasn't being used

[rancid juniper]

i put more hours in FH4 than 5, however i lost my data

stopped playing since

[craggy shoal]

I was excited for FM8 until I tried it with a sim rig

[rancid juniper]

☠️

[craggy shoal]

deleted it immediately and never turned back

GT7 is still king to me (I know GT4 is the best GT. But I don't have access to play that with a wheel)

[rancid juniper]

👍

[craggy shoal]

I wonder if I could play it on PCSX2 with some mods

[rancid juniper]

you can

there is a bunch of mods for GT4

texture mods aswell

[sinful blade]

I have put my Xbox one s on marketplace in hopes an idiot will trade a pc for it

[craggy shoal]

I figured I come across a G29 user trying to do the same thing

such a G29 type post

[rancid juniper]

lol

[craggy shoal]

I should've brought a controller with me to work so I can play GT4

[storm narwhal]

Just get a thing that reads your mind

Use that to play the game

There's a streamer who used it to play elden ring

[gleaming sedge]

why does microsoft clipchamp have to suck so darn much

Why are you using Clipchamp? 💀

just let me put in photos select all and set a amount of time they show for all of them at the same time not that hard

[gleaming sedge]

only video making thing i have

[craggy shoal]

"Video making thing" implies you have not looked for other video editing software

[gleaming sedge]

oh i have but dont feel like paying 40+ or want a water mark

[craggy shoal]

Life is Roblox

[gleaming sedge]

ill just have to overdraft my bank account and buy a month of filmora

[craggy shoal]

Have you ever played Rugby?

nope

[craggy shoal]

Let's go golfing

[gleaming sedge]

no time

have to get this video done

[craggy shoal]

[dusk knot]

Hmm

[gleaming sedge]

maybe I could do it with capcut

same

im gonna start uploading gt videos

[sinful blade]

@sweet phoenix would asking for a trade on hwswap for my Xbox one s for a low end pc be worth while
Or would I get laughed out of the subreddit

i doubt the specs would be good

one s go for like 150 on ebay

even less

like a gtx 1050 rig

Unfortunately, gt7 does what horizon does by handing over a load of cars. They really need to get real and start doing more unique stuff. The reason gt4 is praised so much is because its a long campaign with tons of different content. The menu books are pretty brutal to be honest. Some old events in prior games may have been a little corny but they were still unique

There are a couple one lap magics, but there should be a whole category of them

[gleaming sedge]

hey be nice to the GTX's

[craggy shoal]

Yeah but GT7 is more of a proper sim compared to Forza

And more competitive

[lone mango]

Gt sports career that was added a year or two after the game came out is better than the menu books

[gleaming sedge]

my poor ryzen 7 7800X3D still has to put up with a gtx gpu

[lone mango]

Yeah people who say otherwise are cooked

[craggy shoal]

GT7 isn't just buy $50,000 Honda Civic and LS swap it to make 1500hp

"Forza is a sim racing game. Gran Turismo is not a sim racing game" is crazy

[lone mango]

hey look we added a one lap magic! its like back then! are you happy with the gt4 throwback?
do more menu books

Thats my only problem tho, the rest is nice

I like the sport mode time trials

[craggy shoal]

Yeah that's why I want to play GT4

[sinful blade]

That’s all I would need

Cuz then I’d have a pc to begin with

[lone mango]

Do you remember the rotating online events in gt5

[sinful blade]

[craggy shoal]

I didn't play GT5 online

I got heavy into GT when GT6 released

[lone mango]

Its like the sport mode tt but ai racing and drift trials

[lone mango]

[craggy shoal]

I still don't understand drifting in GT tbh

[lone mango]

Haven't touched it since ps3 days

Pause

[gleaming sedge]

man this printer is a pain, first few days i could let it go and just check on it here and there now i can hardly leave my room because i have to be ready to stop the printer when things break free and slide around. guess i can count 3d print farm income out for a chance of making money for me as well. just dont have the luck for it

[dusk knot]

You took this?

[storm narwhal]

Might have to get that looked at at some point

Is it the base, the filament or the prints not having enough support?

[craggy shoal]

Sounds like an Ender 3 lol

[gleaming sedge]

[gleaming sedge]

Need the crap ton of money and get a dry box that would help

[mental yoke]

$75 for a Ryzen 5 5600x?!?

[quasi epoch]

whats best pc/price around

[mental yoke]

Around…?

[craggy shoal]

You're using gyroid infill, right?

[storm narwhal]

Ah I see

You'll get there

Maybe you could make a remote setup that lets you monitor and stop the print?

Old phone with ip cam software, and some way to stop the printer remotely

[idle nexus]

I think I asked this before but if you had to choose between an RTX2080ti & an RTX3070, which would you (by which I mean anyone reading this) pick?

both are watercooled

[mental yoke]

RTX 3070

Thats a hard maybe tbh

[idle nexus]

I'm thinking 13600K/Z690 Unify-X/2x16gb DDR5/3070 or 2080ti

[rancid juniper]

13600k + z690 + DDR5 6000mhz or more + 3070

🤔

it would be interesting to check 2080ti perf

[idle nexus]

ya like, 3070 is faster GPU but 8gb vRAM makes 2080ti seem like it might be a better option

[mental yoke]

yeah, thats why i said its a hard maybe.

[idle nexus]

I'm gonna use some TeamGroup Creator 5600c46 a-die & see if I can stabilize 7800 at least

[rancid juniper]

sheesh

[mental yoke]

but 11gb vs 8gb of vram

hmm

[rancid juniper]

really depends on what you're playing

[idle nexus]

newest Unify-X BIOS runs 8k fairly well for benching so maaaybe I can stabilize for daily

[mental yoke]

ya

[sinful blade]

Yeah. I like taking pictures.

Took two others. You can see why the first one needed redone.

[rancid juniper]

for current modern games atleast idk 10GB+ is required

[safe cape]

3070 ez

[idle nexus]

I think I'm gonna do 2080ti but only because the monitor my son uses is 4k... but it's 4k 60hz commercial display so nothing exciting

[rancid juniper]

so cards with 11/12GB vram is kinda the sweet spot atm

[idle nexus]

43" commercial display lol

[mental yoke]

Rtx 3070 is around 300 on ebay vs 2080 is $350 to $380

[idle nexus]

2080ti is probably a little more

btw I have both cards

[rancid juniper]

this kinda hurts

[idle nexus]

price isn't really a big factor in this decision

lol 3070ti with 16gb vram would've been a big seller I bet

[rancid juniper]

it would

[rough zinc]

SLI

[idle nexus]

3080ti would've been more pointless lol

[safe cape]

yeah and 4070 super with 16gb

[mental yoke]

Its a difficult decision to make

but if it were me

[idle nexus]

it's been over 3 years & I'm still mad at myself for being impatient & getting a 3080ti instead of 3090

[mental yoke]

I’ll take 11gb over 8gb

[idle nexus]

2080ti can run reallly hard if you flash VBIOS with no power limit

[rancid juniper]

well well well

[idle nexus]

2080ti is like the only card I've ever benched that acts like that. Usually you're starved for voltage

[gleaming sedge]

It's a bambu print the Bambu handy app let's me

[idle nexus]

the 2080ti I have is the EVGA Super Clocked 2 or whatever... SC2 iirc

[rancid juniper]

wat the f

[idle nexus]

I have a 3060 I could use but I think 3070 or 2080ti are better options lol

[safe cape]

cool card

[idle nexus]

tho I guess technically, the 3060 would have the most VRAM

lmao

dammit nvidia

[proud jackal]

[rancid juniper]

no

[proud jackal]

5090 Ti

[rancid juniper]

double no

[idle nexus]

was hoping to use a GPU I already had cuz cost-effectivenss

[tranquil pebble]

imagine a CPU that is half lga half pga

[proud jackal]

I should sell my apex it's being unused

[rancid juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/no-sad-frustrated-no-way-yell-gif-17334973

[idle nexus]

I wanna keep the 4090 & I don't really wanna go thru the mission of taking out the 3080ti so 3070, 2080ti, 1070, 980ti, or 1080ti are the options ig lol

[safe cape]

why do you use gpu water coolnig ?

[idle nexus]

lol I'm not using mine presently either

[idle nexus]

in general or for son's build?

[safe cape]

in general

[proud jackal]

[proud jackal]

Yeah ddr5 runs hawt

[rancid juniper]

whats ur pc case

[proud jackal]

I'm tempted to get memory cooling blocks

[idle nexus]

it was necessary back in DDR4 days to make bdie go bananas at like 4400c16 or something

[idle nexus]

my daily or my son's?

[safe cape]

maybe i think these days oc doesnt give biig fps

idk maybe im wrong

[rancid juniper]

your daily

[idle nexus]

Thermaltake Level 20 GT

[rancid juniper]

level 20

should be level 99

[idle nexus]

I think it was 20th year anniversary but I'm not sure. It's kind of an old case now tbh

[rancid juniper]

i see

your daily has the 2080ti in it?

[idle nexus]

not only Asus

[safe cape]

what is your favorite ?

[idle nexus]

the first Asus board I got was a B550 Strix & I didn't love it

I gave it to my dad when I built a computer for him

[safe cape]

of all of them

[idle nexus]

I only got Z790 Apex because Z690 Unify-X kinda sucked

& my Z690 Dark KP was in my daily at the time

Z690 U-X has gotten better with BIOS updates but I still wouldn't suggest getting it for OC

[safe cape]

does it matter for a good score ?

[idle nexus]

it definitely can ya

like Unify-X when I first got it could barely run memory at 7800 reliably

I think the highest I've gotten to run on the Apex was 8600

my Apex won't do 8800 but some will

I mean for memory valid I got it to uh

[safe cape]
