[lone mango]

Did they make a new one

[misty sparrow]

i'd like to just roast walmart in general

they always mess something up

[sinful blade]

No
I am in Walmart and I passed by the computer section

[misty sparrow]

this doesnt look that good

also wait your walmart has a computer section?

mine doesnt

[idle nexus]

everyone is hopping on the pc bandwagon these days

[sinful blade]

They do

[misty sparrow]

yeah but mine doesn't have stuff like this in there

it's always just some windows laptops and chromebooks

[sinful blade]

L Walmart

[misty sparrow]

and apparently some have gun sections

didnt know that either

[lone mango]

Oh yeah the walmart gun section

They used to sell some crappy guns but stopped

Now its just ammo and knives

[sinful blade]

That’s my target around me

[craggy shoal]

Those are the only computers Target sells

Selling Celeron laptops for the price of i5/i7 laptops

[lone mango]

[nocturne flicker]

I remember the back to school sale incident

[misty sparrow]

i think i have that image somewhere in my photo library

oh no

[sinful blade]

This is literally all my target has

[misty sparrow]

honestly that sounds about right

[neon tulip]

Worth or no i need opinions

[misty sparrow]

bonus points for walking into your target to just prove a point

[sinful blade]

No

[nocturne flicker]

Sam's Club sells computers

[sinful blade]

I can go over to them in a minute if you wanna roast them too

[craggy shoal]

My audio setup says that you don't need that

[nocturne flicker]

What I remember of it wasn't very good.

[neon tulip]

I have no idea what headphones to get then

[nocturne flicker]

Even worse than Best Buy and Best Buy is pretty bleh anyways

One time I went to that Best Buy and all they had out were PNY gpus

Like 3 of them

They weren't even in a cabinet they were just sat on some shelf at the far end of the tiny computer section

[idle nexus]

I had to use the white one

the black one has a copper cold plate & it's pretty beat

& frankly I don't wanna clean it rn heck that

it was either that or use this EK Velocity but it's pretty beat too tbh

needs to be like completely disassembled & cleaned

ig both do

heckin mess

[sinful blade]

I have got what I came for

[idle nexus]

that C*****r block would look really nice on Apex but I'm keeping my damn Apex lol

[velvet summit]

I need more garlic powder

I used up all of mine

But I've been avoiding going to the Bulk Barn (they sell ingredients in bulk for pretty good prices) to restock my garlic powder because of my coughing

Though I've nearly fully recovered so

For now I'll have to stick with only using fresh garlic

[idle nexus]

that's probably better anyway

keeps vampires away too

[sinful blade]

Target is cheap as hell for it

That’s where I get it

That bottle was $1.19

Love the no spec computers

[idle nexus]

1400F lol

best CPU

[velvet summit]

$1.81cad/100 grams looking at the online pickup

From bulk barn

[sinful blade]

They’re overcharging you $.20ca

[nocturne flicker]

Store brand of the same size here is 2.49 usd

[sinful blade]

Good&gather usually has cheap basic stuff

But anything that’s special, massive up charge

[nocturne flicker]

We have one grocery store in town so they have a monopoly on prices

And as such they charge what they want

Don't like it? Go 15 minutes away for the next store

Also they have contacts in the local government to prevent any competitors from moving in

Closest we got is a Dollar General

And they have problems keeping stuff like that in stock

[safe cape]

this block is smiling 🙂

[rancid juniper]

https://youtu.be/DeE_gLl3j94?si=MVNLRrg0o-dfh-_v

bruh

[velvet summit]

Then like everyone else is scalping, garlic powder is more expensive pretty much everywhere except for maybe Costco, at least that I've seen

Significantly cheaper than Walmart
Slightly cheaper than the dollar store

[nocturne flicker]

Corporate margins go brrrrrr

Just raise everything a dollar and shrink the size a bit they'll buy it anyways

[velvet summit]

Yeah it's a bit more expensive than Costco's 2.5kg garlic powder

But I don't need that much garlic powder

I use alot of it, but not 2.5kg lot of it

[nocturne flicker]

Actually, the cheapest brand at the local store is 1.39usd for 2.5oz

Name brand like McCormick is 4.69 for 3.12oz

[dusk knot]

This room that is used for general communication concerning electronics and gaming culture between individuals spanning multiple corners of this globe is currently inactive and is in need of a revival

[idle nexus]

why is my timestamp off

the heck

my computer says 6:43

nvm

I wonder how it ends up desynced like that

oh well

time to break down 5000D build

well most of it

5000D has that extra door thing inside the case on the back

so pointless

[proud jackal]

Wanna buy another 5000d off me?

It's still in box

[idle nexus]

lol one is enough but thanks for offering

[mental yoke]

weiners

still need to decide on my monitor

34 inch 3440x1440p or 32 inch 4k... I know everyone says the 32 inch is obvious but I already own a 32 inch monitor and essentially I not only want more res but also something bigger to make it feel worth it

[hoary zodiac]

What's your pc specs?

A key advantage of the 1440p over the 4k is that you don't have to upgrade as often if you want to keep gaming at higher settings on the latest titles

[mental yoke]

Good point

because the only other monitor I would get over a 32 inch 4k is the 49 inch 5440x1440

and I have two 27 inch 1440p monitors I will use on the side

[hoary zodiac]

49 inch?

[mental yoke]

yes the samsung g9

[hoary zodiac]

that's getting pretty close to a 4k monitor tbh

[mental yoke]

Yeah but essentially getting that. it would replace all my monitors

[hoary zodiac]

but then again the work space

[mental yoke]

I'm not ready to split up stuff in zones yet

[hoary zodiac]

It can be a bit janky

[mental yoke]

In my new house I'm getting a 70 inch desk

well 70 inches x 50 ish inches L shaped

[hoary zodiac]

I think the 34 inch is a good balance

from a value perspective

Will you be gaming on the full ultrawide res if you get the 49 inch ultrawide?

[mental yoke]

Yes

[hoary zodiac]

hmm

[mental yoke]

But I'm not getting it now

I'm waiting to see what comes out later this year.

[hoary zodiac]

ultrawide support might be a bit janky for that wide of an aspect ratio

[mental yoke]

But I do need to swap out my 32 inch monitor in the meantime

[hoary zodiac]

I'd say the 34 inch is a good balance

you can keep it for longer too

[mental yoke]

and surpisngly cheaper thant he 32 inch 4k.

I mean not really surpringly.

but yeah

[hoary zodiac]

1440p shouldn't be bad at that size

[mental yoke]

115ppi for that

140 ppi for the 4k 32 inch

[hoary zodiac]

yeah honestly I'd get the 1440p

[mental yoke]

Ok cool

will do

thank you

[hoary zodiac]

I could be a bit biased but

I prefer 4K displays with bigger monitors

so I'd ask around a bit more for other people's advices

[mental yoke]

I mean there are TVs that are 4k but the refresh rate won't be higher than 144hz

[hoary zodiac]

that is true

[mental yoke]

and they make a monitor that's 47 inch or so but that's 120hz.

So yeah no matter what amount money yuou have, you still have to consider pros and cons.

[hoary zodiac]

that's a really good way of looking at things

[mental yoke]

but

I actually was leaning towards the 1440p anyway

so

[hoary zodiac]

yeah the 1440p seems like a better all-rounder to me

in case you don't end up getting the second upgrade later down the line you can keep your current pc specs more or less the same for a bit longer before the gpu starts struggling at higher settings

[mental yoke]

I have a 4090 i913k

[hoary zodiac]

well that's the thing

even with high end cards 4K is still pretty intensive even in 2024

1080ti used to be a 4K card and now it's more of a 1080p (maybe 1440p for less intensive titles?) card

then again the 1080ti is also 8 years old

[mental yoke]

Now I have to return this 39 inch monitor.

[hoary zodiac]

oh you already got the 39 inch?

[mental yoke]

Well. It's sitting at my apartment office

[hoary zodiac]

oh lol

[mental yoke]

Made that mistake with the ppi.

[hoary zodiac]

I wouldn't say it's a mistake

[mental yoke]

It's only has 4 more ppi than m y 32 inch 1440p

[hoary zodiac]

more like a difference in perspective

oh

yeah in that case i can see what you mean

it's a different monitor than the ones we've looked at right?

[mental yoke]

and my current desk doesn't have the space. I was just gonna keep it until I moved which now my closing date is next month ;-;

it was suppose to be now.

[north crescent]

What's disgusting isnt the fact that Zotac's/MSI's servers were available through web searches, but the fact that there is no user/pass authentication for important information. Should not be able to pull any info at all from the server without auth tokens. Just goes to show how little big companies care about their consumers.

[high star]

guys i found a typo on wikipedia

[hoary zodiac]

another scandal?

[north crescent]

I would not be surprised if I could still pull MSI's/Zotac's info if I knew the specific HTTPS fetch request info.

[hoary zodiac]

so we've had what

asus

adobe

now msi

[lone mango]

they care about security even less

[hoary zodiac]

is this the trend in 2024

big tech screwing over consumers

[lone mango]

Although when it came to security, they always sucked at it

[hoary zodiac]

yeah

that's the thing with big corps

they don't care until something really bad happens

[lone mango]

[proud jackal]

How is Big tech expected to sell your information if they get hacked for that information

[high star]

yall hear about the at&t leaks

[mental yoke]

Leak deez

[rancid juniper]

What I don't get is that the customers are the ones that made your company big, and doing that to them is nothing but betrayal. That happens to like nearly every company in this blue sphere

Security? What's that

I legit might check since I have an MSI board but I never RMA'd their stuff before

Wait a minute... Is this why I kept getting over 10+ scam calls this week???

[nocturne flicker]

You see, the first mistake you made was thinking that a company would care about their customers

[rancid juniper]

True

[old fog]

what u do is change your name to Share Holder...every company will take real good care of ya

[nocturne flicker]

Anyways, only the techies who watch tech news will hear about it and even some of them will eventually forget about it. The majority of people won't hear about it or will hear about it in passing and quickly forget about it

[lone mango]

[rancid juniper]

A plague to many

[nocturne flicker]

What if we buy stock in all of their companies, collaborate and pool our shares and threaten them if company do bad

We just a couple hundred million dollars. Ez

[rancid juniper]

Hmmmm

[nocturne flicker]

Oh nvm

I don’t think u could use this

My 6650 XT can’t do 1440p 144hx

[sweet phoenix]

Especially not ultrawide 1440p

Not that I'd do 1080p above 24"

[granite estuary]

[velvet summit]

at that point you can just pay someone to paint it

[proud jackal]

time to sell mine

[icy ore]

ill give you $12

[mental yoke]

Damn uit

I missed the sale

I waited too long to buy the monitor I wanted.

God damn it

Guess I'll wait for prime days

[sinful blade]

Check Amazon warehouse

[mental yoke]

I'll probably do that.

I still need to send this 39 inch monitor back.

But I really shouldn't be buying much of anything

I'll be moving within the next month or so

[nocturne flicker]

Spend all money on PC. Become in debt for the mighty pc

[mental yoke]

so...... whats the chances of 14900KS going on sale next week

[elfin mural]

there's a higher chance of your cpu throwing errors

[proud jackal]

foxy

take that back

[elfin mural]

are you setting xmp? how many DIMMs?

[devout forum]

@elfin mural Would drawing 365 watts through a PCIE 8-pin and a pigtail 6+2 be a risk?

[elfin mural]

yes

[proud jackal]

I got 55 to go away by using lower mem clock or turning xmp off all together

[elfin mural]

unless you mean

[devout forum]

Damn you Corsair
Damn you for not putting an extra 8-pin cable into ATX 3.0 PSUs

[elfin mural]

individual cables

then that's ok

like one 8 pin

[devout forum]

Over this

[elfin mural]

one 6+2

oh that's perfectly fine lmao

[devout forum]

Eyyy

Based

[elfin mural]

it literally just splits

it's an 8 pin that's more versatile

[devout forum]

it's Corsair's special sauce PSU connectors to 6+2s

I do have kind of an aversion to pigtail cables in general

but if it's safe, that's just a nitpick

[velvet summit]

of all things standardized
atx has no standardization for psu pinout on the psu side

so basically everyone has their own special sauce cables

some use the same as others, but there's no standardization, even within the same company ☠️

corsair has like 2 or 3 different psu connectors between their psus iirc

[devout forum]

Ye I know that it's just

If the 2 cables wouldn't be safe for a 7900 XT Nitro+ then I'd have to get a different PSU

cuz the 850 RMe ATX3.0 is currently deeply discounted due to a vendor having a big sale

[idle nexus]

if the cable is like is like that, I'd think that it can handle it. Otherwise, why would they design it like that?

now if you used a splitter to turn a single one into two, that would be dangerous

[devout forum]

It's more the limitation of what is included in the box

It was more a "Would the cables in the box be enough for this card?"

[idle nexus]

like this is dangerous

but it doesn't make sense to me that Corsair or any other PSU brand would sell their PSUs with those cables that have 2x6+2s on the same cable unless it could handle full load from two connections

[velvet summit]

^

forgot where the chevron was lmao

[idle nexus]

& OCP should shut the PSU off long before the wire melts or something

if it was some cheap, no name brand PSU, I'd hesitate but Corsair is legit lol

the G+ hasn't disappointed yet afik

@sweet phoenix Do you know of any ATX cases similar to the Tower 300?

ones where the case has a small desk footprint cuz the GPU is vertical in it

[mighty hazel]

Why would you tho

[devout forum]

14900K+4090 puts so much heat into the room it's not even funny

[mighty hazel]

40 series is rlly efficient

14900K is gonna be like 100w, that’s nothing

[mighty hazel]

Unless you’re running cinebench all day, that’s only place where it’s 250+

[devout forum]

350 watts in games for the 4090

Since you're gonna be playing 4k more than likely

Even at 1440p you're above 300 watts

400-500 watts will make a lot of heat

I mostly use my PC lightly (not even utilizing the GPU)
And there's still enough heat output to raise my room temp by over 4 degrees C

[mighty hazel]

So 3080 ti power draw. Not bad at all

[devout forum]

It's still a lot of heat

And if you don't have AC, you WILL feel it

[sweet phoenix]

what

7800x3d pulls around 80w gaming

[mighty hazel]

Eh not really

[sweet phoenix]

my 13600k chills around 120-150

[mighty hazel]

In games?

[sweet phoenix]

13900k will be pulling more than 100w i gaurantee you that

[devout forum]

7800X3D is 88 watts max power draw under full load

[sweet phoenix]

4090 is efficient, that doesn't mean it doesn't output a lot of heat

[devout forum]

350-400 watts of power do be creating at least 200 watts of heat

[sweet phoenix]

my 13600k+3060 ti rig was enough to heat up my small room after a 2 hour gaming session

[sweet phoenix]

im not saying not to do it

[devout forum]

5.5 isn't even a big OC

[sweet phoenix]

however i would very much consider a 7950x3d over 14900k

[mighty hazel]

Highest is 200w

[sweet phoenix]

average, 170w

[devout forum]

14900KS advertises 6 GHz boost clocks

you're not reaching 6 ghz on 130 watts

[proud jackal]

buy me 14900ks and ill test for you

[mighty hazel]

On one or 2 cores

[sweet phoenix]

are you set on a 14900k?

[proud jackal]

uwu

[mighty hazel]

Not all core

[sweet phoenix]

7950x3d runs at 1/3 the wattage, has better gaming perf most of the time, and is on an upgradable platform

also there's the degradation issues with intels high end at the moment

[mighty hazel]

Maybe some day lol but I don’t wanna buy one with all the instability issues

Don’t wanna buy one rn

[sweet phoenix]

7950x3d.

[devout forum]

I mean excuse me?

[sweet phoenix]

8950x comes out next month i believe

it would make gaming builds much nicer, and potentially compel amd to release a cheaper x3d cpu earlier next gen

[sweet phoenix]

it's because intel wanted to be competitive with amd, so allowed unlocked power limits by default

[mighty hazel]

14900K is the closest they have to an x3d

[devout forum]

But yeah 14900K eats over double the power in lightly threaded loads like games as the 7800X3D does at full load

And the 7800X3D is outright faster than a 14900K in gaming

[mighty hazel]

It’s like 4% difference at 1080p with a 4090 so

[devout forum]

I just can't see any reason to get a 900 SKU Intel chip rn

[sweet phoenix]

that's not what i mean

[mighty hazel]

Overclock the ram and you got a faster cpu

[ancient swift]

imagine playing 1080p with a 4090

[sweet phoenix]

i mean like a 7800x3d

[mighty hazel]

Dream setup

[ancient swift]

like, go up to 1440p nerd

[mighty hazel]

1080p 240hz with 4090

[devout forum]

At what, double or over double the price, using over twice the power and getting less frames?

[sweet phoenix]

a cheaper, non flagship cpu that destroys in gaming

[ancient swift]

What a waste

[sweet phoenix]

7600x3d would have done amazingly, i don't know why it wasn't a thing

[mighty hazel]

It would run triple a games at 240 fps though

Not just esports

[devout forum]

560Hz esports monitors exist

[sweet phoenix]

oled.

[mighty hazel]

Don’t need 4090 for that

[sweet phoenix]

560hz is IPS

or TN

[devout forum]

That MIGHT be justifiable in some ways

if you REALLY need high refresh rate

[sweet phoenix]

OLED 360hz over 540hz anything else any day of the week

[mighty hazel]

2070 or 2060 super and it’ll run 600 fps in val/ ow etc

[devout forum]

But at that point you have all your PCs, gear and stuff sponsored anyway so who cares?

[sweet phoenix]

the downsides of tn/ips outweigh the extra refresh

[ancient swift]

Mini LED 1440p has been good to me

[sweet phoenix]

an oled will give a better experience for first person shooters

[ancient swift]

Really happy with this monitor actually

[sweet phoenix]

lower response time, very smooth

[devout forum]

It's not a GOOD use case, just one that could actually exist

[mighty hazel]

Most esports pros ironically don’t have 360hz and 4090s on their personal setups

[devout forum]

I'm making the point that it'd be so hyperspecialized it's almost stupid

[mighty hazel]

They have like 2070s and 240hz monitors

[sweet phoenix]

there's literally no reason to buy a super high refresh rate monitor over OLED atp

like, whatsoever

[devout forum]

Aaaaaanyway

[ancient swift]

Too expensive tbh.

[mighty hazel]

They’re more expensive

[devout forum]

my point about the 14900K stands

[mighty hazel]

For oled

[devout forum]

It's pretty much pointless for gaming

[sweet phoenix]

a 240hz oled is $600

[ancient swift]

Agreed

[mighty hazel]

I mean a 240hz tn is like 250 to 300

For 1080p

[sweet phoenix]

a 240hz IPS 1440p is 250

that's different

[devout forum]

Now if you're a content creator who makes things and you can for some reason only have a single PC?
Sure, there is an argument, but if you can buy 4090s and 14900Ks you can get 2 PCs

[ancient swift]

14700k or 7800x3d would be all you need for gaming. Anything more is just poor returns

[mighty hazel]

250 for 1440? How

[sweet phoenix]

i was talking about 360+

[sweet phoenix]

xv272u

actually now that i think about it that monitor has some issues

[ancient swift]

I got a 180hz Mini LED 1440p for like 270$.

[sweet phoenix]

yeah there's a few aroud that price

[devout forum]

Asus released a new 1440p IPS with a good price tag

[sweet phoenix]

miniled is a good choice

[mighty hazel]

That’s 170hz tho

[devout forum]

even has variable overdrive

[sweet phoenix]

is the panel good

[sweet phoenix]

xv2727u?

[devout forum]

HUB seemed to like it

It wasn't outstanding

[sweet phoenix]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Lv4Zxr/acer-acer-nitro-xv272u-w2bmiiprx-270-2560-x-1440-240-hz-monitor-umhx2aa201

[sweet phoenix]

i just wouldn't get it, i forgot but it has major issues

[devout forum]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXgvP84g2BU

[mighty hazel]

It says 170hz here idk https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/acer/nitro-xv272u-kvbmiiprzx

[sweet phoenix]

ah there's like 7 xv272u's

acer is stupid

[mighty hazel]

LOL

Their names sound like someone just hit their hands on the keyboard randomly

[devout forum]

I mean sure, it's not an HDR screen, and it's not outstanding in really any one perf metric
But the price is good, and the variable overdrive (so single overdrive mode experience) is definitely welcome

[sweet phoenix]

can we mention the phanteks xt pro ultra please

[sweet phoenix]

i don't feel like watching, what's the price?

dlel g2724d is $180 rn with a pretty solid panel https://pcpartpicker.com/product/vyqrxr/dell-g2724d-270-2560-x-1440-165-hz-monitor-g2724d

[devout forum]

290 on Amazon rn, MSRP unknown to me

[sweet phoenix]

290 is pretty high, it's IPS right?

[ancient swift]

AOC Q27G3XMN 27" is the one I got

[sweet phoenix]

not mini LED?

[devout forum]

Yes, IPS

[sweet phoenix]

yeah I'd pass until that comes down to 240 or under

[devout forum]

it's apparently near the limit with what is possible on current IPS panels

[sweet phoenix]

the higher end of that only if it's a good panel, like the m27q

hm

i could see 240-260 if that's true

[devout forum]

HUB said it's really good for money

[sweet phoenix]

people are paid to say things

it would have to be better than the m27q for over 260 to be justifiable

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/k8GnTW/gigabyte-m27q-270-2560x1440-170-hz-monitor-m27q

[devout forum]

Ye I know

One sec

[sweet phoenix]

also speaking in terms of bang for your buck

that absolutely makes no sense (speaking about them, not you)

[sweet phoenix]

bang for your buck is good value, you can get a monitor like the dell one i linked above, or even a $160 asrock 1440p high refresh rn, those would be bang for your buck

[mighty hazel]

Sometimes a lower refresh can be better than higher refresh, like some 240hs are better than 360hs monitors

[sweet phoenix]

so it's good, but nothing special honestly

[sweet phoenix]

100%, there's many things that affect a monitors quality

[devout forum]

It brings expected perf with single overdrive mode experience

[sweet phoenix]

panel type, panel quality, firmware, build quality, quality control

[devout forum]

that's really the selling point, the variable overdrive, and it being tuned really well out of the box

[sweet phoenix]

290 is very overpriced

end of the day

[devout forum]

I'm just saying what it is

I dunno what MSRP is supposed to be

@sweet phoenix In fact I can get one for less than the M27Q

(though that might be the Gigabyte being overpriced here, not the Asus being good value)

[deep parcel]

@devout forum I bought that monitor… don’t

[devout forum]

Hm?

What's wrong with it?

[deep parcel]

It does not handle 180hz at all

[devout forum]

That's weird

Is it flickering or something like that?

[deep parcel]

I have to use it on 165hz or it has lines across the screen

Yeah flickering lines at 180hz

[devout forum]

RMA

[ancient swift]

Asus RMA lol

[deep parcel]

Yeah…

[devout forum]

Worth a try

I mean yeah I know the irony

You don't have to remind me

[deep parcel]

I’m good. I already got my money refunded from Amazon so it was basically a free monitor

[safe cape]

if i turn hot swap off on my ssd

[devout forum]

I mean hey that's nice

[safe cape]

in the bios

no problem ?

[devout forum]

At least Amazon made things right for you

[deep parcel]

Yep they usually do

I mean it’s a decent monitor just kinda cheap all around

And don’t expect 180hz for long. It held 180hz for a week then started flickering

[devout forum]

You probably got a faulty panel tbf

it happens

[deep parcel]

Prob but 180hz is technically an overclock

They don’t market it as that but it is what it is. They only say that the screen is overclocked for 180hz in 1 spot of the listing if I remember

[devout forum]

OMG he's back at it

He's back to spewing bullcrap

[deep parcel]

Also I got it for 230 on sale I think

[grand kernel]

i mean... you'd expect a 13700k to beat a 7800x3d in multicore

and yes the 13700k does have better idle power than ryzen by far

nothing he said is wrong, he's just coping by cherrypicking scenarios where the 13700k does win

well

except for the 10 minute boot times part

that's fixed now

[ancient swift]

10 minute boot times? that'd be crazy

[grand kernel]

it was a reality when am5 first launched

[devout forum]

And COMPLETELY ignoring that 99% of people buying a 13700K buy it for gaming, in which the 7800X3D will handily shred it

[grand kernel]

top of the line 7950x systems would boot slower than a 10 year old system with a hard drive lol

[grand kernel]

yes

[devout forum]

It was memory training related iirc

the slow booting

[grand kernel]

also yes

[devout forum]

But yeah

[grand kernel]

that's why it got fixed by later agesa versions

[devout forum]

Dude is technically true, but clearly shows being out of touch or outright fanboying

I personally don't really gaf about 3DMark scores

I care much more for framerates and turn times

[grand kernel]

i do really like the low idle power of intel chips though

[worthy meteor]

Can always cherry pick data to prove your point

[grand kernel]

makes a big difference working in the summer

30 watts difference

[devout forum]

Yeah I will concede on that

[grand kernel]

that is something more valid than benchmark scores

[devout forum]

Idle/light load power consumption is pretty big

my 7600X do spit out a good amount of heat even when lightly using it

[grand kernel]

well idk the idle power of 7800x3d

my 5800x idled at 35w

with 1.1 ish vsoc

[devout forum]

it's like 20-25 watts iirc

lemme check

[grand kernel]

oh that's a nice improvement

assuming you are running some kind of xmp/ram oc with fixed vsoc?

i got 20w idle power with jedec ddr4-2666

[devout forum]

This is full load

[grand kernel]

35 idle power with manual oc ddr4-3800

[devout forum]

which I mean at FULL LOAD 88 watts is ridiculous

[grand kernel]

yeah i remember seeing even less than that in p95 since i used CO

70 watts in prime95

chilling at 70C under $30 air cooler lol

meanwhile my 13700K

[ancient swift]

29w is the idle from what I see on google

[grand kernel]

i'm fairly certain it would want 500W at stock if i had the cooling for it

but i can't cool it with my galahad 360 and contact frame

so it thermal throttles a ton at stock to maintain the 350W that i can cool

[north crescent]

Its funny how AMD has great load power but terrible idle power

[grand kernel]

https://tenor.com/view/flame-fire-ignored-computer-work-gif-4469316

yeah

you can get the intel chips to have good load efficiency too

but stock behavior is ridiculous

[devout forum]

It's got to do with architectural stuff on AMD

IO die needs a set amount regardless of load

but yeah 30w idle is

Not amazing

88 watt full load is incredible though

[grand kernel]

yeah having to run fclk at 2200mhz or whatever all the time doesn't help

intel chip pretty much shuts down at idle lol

on a debloated system ive even see 1.6W idle

[elfin mural]

i notice that on my laptop as well

it can't go below 5w without being so sad

[grand kernel]

it's beautiful

[elfin mural]

zen 3+

[grand kernel]

well

your laptop is monolithic

so you don't have the same problem

[elfin mural]

i guess lol

it has no fancy stuff

[grand kernel]

the problem is only on desktop chips

[devout forum]

At the end of the day, I'd argue that full load power draw is probably more important than idle power draw

[grand kernel]

a laptop cpu that idled at 20w+ would be dead on arrival lol

[grand kernel]

meh it really depends

[devout forum]

I mean yeah low idle draw is great

But if you have a 200+ watt draw under full load, you'll feel that

[grand kernel]

if you use your pc for mostly work and some gaming the intel chip could very well be more efficient overall

[devout forum]

I for one am curious what the next gen AMD will come out with

the 8700X is ALLEGEDLY gonna be faster in gaming than a 7800X3D

which would be wild

[north crescent]

Only if you're a power user most likely. Lot of prosumers who user their CPU prolly still have too much idle time for that to be true, let alone standard consumers.

[devout forum]

it all depends on use case and specific values how it averages out

[grand kernel]

like i'm usually using my pc for low intensity work 12 hours a day and gaming 3 hours a day

on my 13700K:
low intensity work = 4W * 12 hours = 48 watt hours
gaming = 120W * 3 hours = 360 watt hours

total consumption for the day = 408 watt hours

on my old 5800X:
low intensity work = 35W * 12 hours = 420 watt hours
gaming = 80W * 3 hours = 240 watt hours

total consumption for the day = 660 watt hours

so my 13700K is a LOT more efficient than my 5800X was for my typical day

just depends on your use case

also the 13700K gaming load is nowhere near synthetic multicore load

i daily slightly below stock voltage with a 5.5/4.9/4.3 oc and HT off

[elfin mural]

idle matters huh

[north crescent]

My stock 13600k that I should really get to UVing at least is like 70w - 85w gaming.

[devout forum]

my 7600X system does 45-50 watts on CPU watching Youtube and typing on Discord

[grand kernel]

idle very much matters

if idle is most of your day

if you're doing nothing but gaming on your pc yeah ryzen is going to win

[devout forum]

I mean yeah it's not the greatest, and it's likely more than my old laptop, but that's a very different thing

[grand kernel]

45-50 watts for youtube and discord is lowkey kind of horrifying lol

[devout forum]

7600X is also kind of a trap methinks

[devout forum]

it's on a dogwater mobo, completely unoptimized

[north crescent]

Pretty sure Florida banned Dell/Alienware on certain computers/monitors a year ago due to bad idles

[devout forum]

For some reason I can't undervolt it

[grand kernel]

my mobo isn't particularly high end

can you CO?

i'm using a $100 ddr4 mobo

[devout forum]

damn

Forgor about the thing

[grand kernel]

i can see it lol

[devout forum]

You get my point then

[grand kernel]

ryzen master is malware 🗣️

[devout forum]

I mean mobo outright doesn't undervolt

and CO

IDK if the mobo-side CO does anything

[north crescent]

Fun fact, ctrl+z goes back to previous message. You can then quickly remove funni word and send again

[devout forum]

It don't really seem to

Correction:
Ryzen Master just crashes my PC
And mobo menus don't seem to do anything

[grand kernel]

you'd have to run prime95 and compare effective clocks to see if CO is doing anything

CO doesn't lower the power target

just shifts the V/F curve

CO usually just targets higher performance at the same power target

instead of same performance at lower power target

[devout forum]

Seems funky to me

This mobo has been nothing but pain remember?

[grand kernel]

though if you have an x3d chip you'll see a big difference in power draw with CO cause it's not trying to clock any higher

[devout forum]

Can't update bios either

[grand kernel]

what happens when you try to update bios

AMD mobo not being able to update bios is 💀

considering how... amazing... their early bios versions tend to be

[north crescent]

Im hoping AMDs move away from Agesa (they are still doing that right?) is going to improve things

[devout forum]

Bios update outright hardlocks the entire system on a black screen until I reset CMOS

As soon as it begins updating

[grand kernel]

idk i think they just dont have the resources dedicated to software/firmware to have polished releases

[grand kernel]

wtf

[devout forum]

Like 2 seconds after bringing up the progress bar
System shuts down, boots to black screen, stays there

[grand kernel]

at least it doesn't brick?

maybe you can ch341a it

average amd user experience 💀

[north crescent]

Is that through OS updater or BIOS updater

[devout forum]

CPU fan spins, RBG on it lights up but it never gets any further

[grand kernel]

when was the last time amd released a polished product

[devout forum]

Through Mobo BIOS updater
Bios flashback via rear button eternally blinks as if in progress, over an hour never finished

Mobo is definitely fricked

[grand kernel]

maybe 6900xt? i don't remember if 6900xt had any issues other than supply

[devout forum]

I have no idea in what way but it is

[north crescent]

On first reboot, did you see it POST through mobo LED debug stuff?

[lone mango]

my 6600 used to use like 3-5w idle but now it uses like 20

[north crescent]

I assume this was also through USB stick. Was stick formatted to whatever (FAT32?), firmware in USB stick unzipped, with correct naming, etc? Basically whatever the instructions were in manual.

[devout forum]

No debug light present

Basically I got scammed by the shop building it for me
On several things

[north crescent]

Have you tried various BIOS versions?

[devout forum]

I've tried all of them

All did the same thing

[north crescent]

What about using flashback instead of the BIOS updater?

[devout forum]

Already told you
It eternally blinks

As if it's working

And it never finishes

[north crescent]

Well only other thing I can think of, use a different USB drive

[devout forum]

Holy crap he's back
His argument is "7800X3D is irrelevant if you cap your framerate and save 150 watts on the GPU"

TF kinda crack is this guy smoking???

I mean if you cap your framerate to save power
Then the 7800X3D would make it even better cuz it ALREADY consumes less power than the 14700K in games

This guy is a sockful of BS rofl

[dusk knot]

Hmmm

[devout forum]

Now we know he's a crock of BS

It's honestly almost comical

Dude is cherrypicking so hard he has to start lying to not lose an online argument defending Intel's POS business practices and (arguably) products with 14th "gen"

[devout forum]

It was funny that he defended the 14700K as "flawless product" and then ignoring the 7800X3D beats in in games because "IDC about games, power draw and framerates are irrelevant, only 3DMark scores matter!"

[patent heath]

@grand kernel Apolgies for the ping, but I need some assistance

Quite the ramble, but I figured I should ask this just to be safe. My primary computer that I use for games (i9-11900K, EVGA RTX 3070 TI, 32 gb DDR4 CL 18-3600, 700 W PSU) has been shutting off and on very intermittently and sporadically during the occasional time that I use games. My computer will also occasionally blue screen on the windows loading screen and my extraneous drive (Gaming SSD), will not be detected unless I specifically shut it down and turn it back on. This has been happening for the past two weeks, but it is only now that I have noticed a red flashing light located on both PCIE Power slots (On the Physical Graphics Card itself). It should be mentioned that these lights flash at random and are never still. My presumption is that this could be a power supply issue due to either low wattage or just normal PSU degradation over time, but I would like a more seasoned opinion on this as I was under the impression that 700 Watts was sufficient enough for a rig of this caliber. Any assistance is significantly appreciated!

[worthy meteor]

Which output is selected in discord?

[wooden marten]

its working fine now

i just restarted it

but speakers (istore audio)

May want to check the voltage at the 12v rails on gpuz, and you can try using occt's power test or furmark for a question of capacity, and watch if the 12v rail droops beyond spec.

Happy you mentioned that, I actually just finished OCCT

you use 13600K right?

I feel like I always get which CPU you're on wrong lol

heckin 5000D

I had to dremel the stupid plastic thing in the front again to make the fans+rad fit

[rancid juniper]

yes im also using the 13600k

[idle nexus]

do you run all-core OC or by core usage?

& what do you run memory at again? I forget

[rancid juniper]

all core oc

3600mhz cl16 slight tuned

oc'd from 3200mhz

[idle nexus]

oh okay DDR4 then

what's your all-core frequency? I wanna be realistic here lol

[rancid juniper]

5.4GHZ P-core
4.3GHZ E-core
4.8GHZ Ring

[idle nexus]

heck okay

[rancid juniper]

yessir

[idle nexus]

I wonder if I can get 1-2 cores to do 57-58x

[rancid juniper]

possibly

[idle nexus]

I'm not loving my odds off getting 8000c36 running but we'll see ig

I don't love the GPU to memory block pipe but I'll live ig

I also need to get two rgb 140s out of storage for the top fans

the 3070 cleaned up nice at least

[uncut mulch]

They did but missed

[tranquil pebble]

I only know about it because a phrasing I tend to use got temporarily blocked on the Xbox Discord lol

specifically involving the word "shot".

[idle nexus]

even if you're talking about photography? lol

[tranquil pebble]

yes the word is hard blocked

but not if its as part of another word

[idle nexus]

ah right

[tranquil pebble]

Theyre temp blocking certain keywords to keep people from bringing up unwanted topics there

I happened to be an unitended casualty so to speak of the word being blocked

v1 was good

why

[tranquil pebble]

RTX 4060 with 16 GB VRAM would be good

otherwise Nvidia can heck off

or at least something more than 8

[idle nexus]

8 is kinda sad

says the 3070

heck

lol

[rancid juniper]

how many 4060s are there?

[velvet summit]

8gb

wait

[north crescent]

8 4060s cuz 8GB

[velvet summit]

4060s

that's fine ig

[rancid juniper]

nvidia approves

[idle nexus]

have you run ycruncher VT3 with CPU at stonk settings? I just throttled & I'm a little concerned lol

[rancid juniper]

nah i ran it overclocked when i tuned my ram

never throttled iirc

[idle nexus]

hmm I wonder if waterblock contact is bad

[dusk knot]

Lol what

They're going to die anyways

[cedar compass]

Here we go

[dusk knot]

Oh boy ...

Let's not talk about it

[cedar compass]

Yeah but t-shirt design is already online lol that's very impressive speed

[dusk knot]

Anything for a quick buck

It's going to sell

[obsidian berry]

They never put option 3 of derailing the train

[deep parcel]

pretty simple to do imo

probably took like 1-2 mins to make

[rancid juniper]

[velvet summit]

ah yes, lemme grab the derailer out of my pocket that i keep stored in my pocket

[tranquil pebble]

ironically data is probably still recoverable

[plush anvil]

is there anyone on who's familiar with tv issues?

I'm trying to diy fix a roku tv i inherited with parts from a second identical tv, but i need someone who can translate the symptoms (changes when i switch out parts)

[velvet summit]

?ask

[topaz crown]

Don't ask to ask, just ask!

https://dontasktoask.com/

[dusk knot]

It could be a ton of cryptocurrency

[weak cedar]

Sell it and buy any other TV then roku or lg

[plush anvil]

valid.

[plush anvil]

i can't think of anyone who would want such a tv (hence fixing it myself) lol🤣

[weak cedar]

Hehe

[plush anvil]

I'll rephrase then; it was only whitescreening with audio when plugged in at first, then i changed the power supply board and no change, then i changed the main board and it was blackscreening with no backlight, so i switched the main board back, now i switched the tcon and it's blackscreening with backlight and audio. my main question i suppose, is: was it closer to a fix whitescreening with backlight and audio or blackscreening with backlight and audio, and what should i check next?

[icy ore]

Imagine 1000 bitcoin

[plush anvil]

I'm using it for a ttrpg table, so i don't really need the roku os, just hdmi connectivity, but from my research into fixing it outright for that purpose i was basically just hearing that it's nigh on impossible to convert it to a simple "monitor" which floors me because dumbing down an electrical system should be simple, but they make them so you have to buy a new one every couple of years instead..
