[opaque sedge]

New psu and the gpu the guys recommended here would be a good start probably

[rancid juniper]

Maybe someday I'll try an AIO but I still find air-coolers great

[opaque sedge]

I think they look awesome really blind out ones pc

[rancid juniper]

Ik but I like when my fans turbo spin

[opaque sedge]

If i could find a quality triple fan one for around 60-80 bucks i would probably get it

Display ones look awesome too but they expensive

Hmm an aircooler with a display would be cool ngl

Smth like this but with a display

[keen shale]

Air cooler with an AIO description lol

[opaque sedge]

Amazon lol

[keen shale]

funny thing, doesn't even come up if you search

all they list is the 360

[opaque sedge]

Montech is smoking smth rn💀

[keen shale]

Is it MOntechs listing though or some other random company as the seller?

[opaque sedge]

Looks like a seller listed as “Newegg Business”

[keen shale]

Interesting

Oh, that's actually Wegg https://www.amazon.com/sp?seller=A3876XVCAXN576&asin=B0BNKRCJP6

[sinful blade]

Two very different kinds of companies

[opaque sedge]

Oh wait really! Damn the cooler is actually a pretty good price imo, 45 bucks

10 bucks more than a ps120se

But you get better looks

[keen shale]

I'm an AIO kinda person because I OC all the things

[opaque sedge]

https://a.co/d/egiFMg8 suddenly i dont like my 903 air anymore

Wth this looks so good 😭

[sinful blade]

RGB PSU RGB PSU

[keen shale]

Ram speed makes me sadge

[dusk knot]

Big oof

A good thing PCs have swappable parts

[velvet summit]

lmao

jedec ram

mine's running faster ongong

[safe cape]

are you buying a new one$

[sinful blade]

No I’m poor

[safe cape]

new psu ?

[nocturne flicker]

Your room is going to get warmer with a better cooler

[sinful blade]

I’ve had it for a while

[nocturne flicker]

Turn up AC, it also helps the cpu temps

[tranquil pebble]

imagine attaching a 16k rpm server fan to a desktop cpu cooler

[keen shale]

@grand kernel

[keen shale]

@dusk knot you here?

[dusk knot]

It is done

[tranquil pebble]

Is this proprietary at all?
Looking for just a gift for a
Nephew and I was gonna get something round Christmas for him

I know Lenovo doesn’t really do proprietary but just want to make sure

[keen shale]

Processor: ‎3.6 GHz apple_ci7

wat

Based on the case, I'd say it's a proprietary board with soldered things

[sweet phoenix]

Yes

[sinful blade]

Sigh

I don’t wanna spend more like like $300 on him cuz he literally only plays Roblox and Minecraft

[keen shale]

Wait, so the pics say Intel Core processor, description says Apple. I think that's a seller issue

If it's for a kid for just MC and Roblox, I wouldn't worry about upgrading

[sinful blade]

Well, I would like to help him upgrade in the future

He’s a very basic kid
Probably gonna grow up for call of duty and other lame-o games

[keen shale]

I would just build a PC with him in the future

[sinful blade]

That’d probably be a much smart choice

[keen shale]

I did some digging, looks like an M81 version of the thinkcentre, same case anyway

I7-2600 is what it has in it

or maybe 2700

[sinful bough]

Just noticed this happening on my monitor. Gigabyte m32qc va panel

This isnt normal is it? Noticed some other weird image retention in game

[wary fjord]

Tldr instruction set.

[nocturne flicker]

Something something, ARM simpler and uses less power, x86 is more complex and better for high performance but uses more power. Both are instruction sets that tell the PC and specifically the cpu what to do

[velvet summit]

ARM is a RISC arch and x86 is general compute
arm with its reduced instruction set makes it more power efficient but the downside is that it has a reduced instruction set

[velvet summit]

currently listening to some songs i havent listened to in a while
aka i havent listened to since i upgraded my audio.... even before i upgraded my bt headphones
i can hear so much more details

[pliant berry]

I always loved that feeling

[velvet summit]

for context, my first few headphones were all dollar store and walmart quality, then i got some generic bt headphones which sounded better than those for like $70 cad after tax

and then i upgraded to the soundcore q45's after the headband of that broke (after like 5 years of use) and that was another improvement

and then i got etymotic er2xr's and the hd6xx

jumping from the $70 cad after tax headphones to the.... well, now total plus amp/dac, would be like.....

lemme see

after taxes and shipping, my current hd6xx setup costs $955 cad

☠️

well, that's a bit of a cost

tbf i didnt have to get the vali 3

[pliant berry]

damn

[mental yoke]

Same here bro

[wary fjord]

you call that a weakness? xD thats exactly why people wants to transition from x86 to arm even nvidia ... because it has fix instruction set.. unlike x86 dynamic

and its so compact.. easy to decompile

[wooden marten]

what is going on with my home screen?

[velvet summit]

weakness because most things are made for x86

[wooden marten]

is my gpu dying?

[velvet summit]

doesnt seem like a dying gpu

could either be windows or the drivers being funky

[wooden marten]

ill do a ddu tomorrow

[wary fjord]

the only downside i think is lack of avx support

if an app utilize avx for its performance yeah they wont using arm for that one

they should make a hybrid one to solve it xD

nah arm should evolve to have its equivalent

[sinful blade]

You’ve finally starting gaming

[trail nest]

chat! i have a serious question!

if i place my aio radiator cooler on top of my case, should it be used as an intake or an exhaust???

[random osprey]

exhaust

[trail nest]

i already have 3 fans pulling in air from the front of the case

[high star]

my instinct says exhaust but idk

[lone mango]

Exhaust

[trail nest]

wouldn't that make the cpu hotter if the fans on the radiator on top of the case are used as exhaust?

[random osprey]

having the rad at the front or at the top makes like a 1-2 degree difference

[craggy shoal]

Guys my gf had the AC set to 75 😭

[high star]

holy cold

[craggy shoal]

And I’m like wondering "why am I sweating?"

[lone mango]

Cooking up fr

But fr tho

[trail nest]

@craggy shoal oh hi i remember you

[pliant berry]

when I do have ac I usually set it to 72-75

[high star]

no way 75 is hot bro

[craggy shoal]

I like 70 but my gf likes 73 at the coldest. I think she forgot to set it to 73

[craggy shoal]

I’m sweating

[pliant berry]

I wish my room was 75

[trail nest]

so 3 fans in the front pulling in air as intake and then the radiator on top with fans as exhaust and the back fan as exhaust? is that a good set up?

[high star]

my house is at 79 rn 😭

[random osprey]

is motor bri'ish?

[craggy shoal]

I would melt

[high star]

me when 160 degree home

[pliant berry]

it's closer to 85 in here rn

[craggy shoal]

WHALE AHT LEASHT OWR SHKOOLS

[random osprey]

ye thats the typical setup of having rear and top as exhaust and front as intake unless youre going for a pretty specific build

[trail nest]

ok thanks

[random osprey]

75 degrees is a nice room temp

[craggy shoal]

Her apartment humidity is also insane too (she just moved in and we're trying to figure that out. It's like 70-78%)

[trail nest]

@random osprey which way is the best way to position the aio radiator pump if i install my radiator on top of the case?

@craggy shoal can i see a picture of your girlfriend

[proud jackal]

as long as the radiator is above the pump

[keen shale]

Doesn't matter when the radiator is at the top, whichever way the hoses fit best

[craggy shoal]

Why? 💀 (don't actually answer that. The answer is no)

[trail nest]

but i heard that the radiator pump can make air bubble noises if you do not position the pump correctly

[pliant berry]

yo wtf is wrong with windows

[keen shale]

Has nothing to do with the pump, has to do with radiator

[pliant berry]

how do I pull a window that fell off my desktop

[frosty sinew]

It's literally 10miles lol

[frosty sinew]

I like that

[keen shale]

If the radiator is mounted to the top of the case, pump is always flooded by gravity so no air

[craggy shoal]

Nah that's how I have mine and it's perfect

[keen shale]

That's how it's supposed to be 😉

[trail nest]

hrmm i see

[keen shale]

Front mounts is where people were getting air noises

[random osprey]

front mount with the hose up top mainly*

how the whole debacle happened when people started raiding pc servers saying every way was wrong exceupt top

[keen shale]

I remember those days lol

Wasn't it a Jay video causing the ruckus?

[random osprey]

gamers nexus

[keen shale]

Ah

[silver sparrow]

its a nice way to put that the buyer is quite litterally asking you to pay for their travel costs

[random osprey]

it was like a 50 minute video and people just skipped through and only took certain parts of info and then jayztwocents had to step in and make a really dumb down simple version of gamersnexus video

[keen shale]

Jays good at making simple videos lol

[pliant berry]

ye I was about to say, isn't that ideal xD

[craggy shoal]

Jay = Nexus but the video is cut down by an hour

[keen shale]

isn't that what I said? Rad up top, pump is always flooded, pump position doesn't matter

[craggy shoal]

Guys her AC kicked off and I can still breathe

[keen shale]

Has to be a source of water near her apartment. laundry room underneath?

[craggy shoal]

Lowkey wanna put the AC at 70 but I REALLY don't wanna make her angry lol

[keen shale]

Not running bathroom fan during shower?

[pliant berry]

the first time I read it I thought you were saying it was a bad thing

[keen shale]

Oh, I didn't mean it that way

[pliant berry]

just turn all pcs off, instantly lower temp

[craggy shoal]

Nah I just get warm easily. 75 would be fine, but not for me

[keen shale]

My office is so warm in the wintertime lol

I'm with ya, 68-72 is my preferred

[pliant berry]

and that is why I prefer the winter

[craggy shoal]

I like 70 but I hate 72. She keeps her AC at 73 at the lowest and I'm dying rn lol

Plus I’m used to my indoor humidity being around 50% while hers (for some reason) is at like 75%

[pliant berry]

I just got back from alaska where everyday was between 45-65 and now im back in 80-90 degree new york.. I want to go back 😭

[craggy shoal]

Alaska doesn't sound too bad lolll

[pliant berry]

well it is their summer rn lol

[craggy shoal]

I kinda wanna turn this fan on but idk how she'd feel about that lol

[pliant berry]

unhappy gf

[craggy shoal]

Guys I can't stand it

The fan is going on

OMG

IMMEDIATELY

ITS SO NICE

I’m IN HEAVEN

@craggy shoal are you a pc gamer

@rancid juniper
https://youtu.be/A2yi1Hyx97w?si=dmMSj_WLHzG5kjLz

Funny that huh, a half done actual graphic change in the game gets flicked on and the game starts to genuinely look better

The plot thickens

It's a mod but it's a real setting in the game folders that just needs toggling

[elfin mural]

dang

[tranquil pebble]

ah yes because a game engine and OS are small projects

[paper verge]

Ew is that a 2000c

[paper verge]

They aren't anything hard just really depends on what you define either to be

[craggy shoal]

Goofy ahh question but yes

[rigid seal]

good website to check both cpu and gpu temps? i dont wanna have to go on two separate programs every time

[paper verge]

ive heard of getting cpu temps from websites but not gpu temps

[velvet summit]

Website???

Use hwinfo64

Gives you basically every metric

There is a portable installation so you don't have to install it on a PC, and just run it from a usb flash drive

[rigid seal]

or program

thanks

do i check sensors only/summary only?

[elfin mural]

sensors only

[wary fjord]

it will be nice if the thing is not circle .. but a letter

B S O D

cant find 4tb

[little steppe]

Any recommendations fr the “best” fps gaming open back not wireless and without a mic budget is 250$ max just looking fr more options I mainly want the easiest time hear audio cues(footsteps some jump sliding falling ect)under pressure of a lot of distracting noise like gunshots explosion cause that’s my main problem when the game is quiet I can hear really good my choice fr now is the hd560 wondering if there is anything better then that

[mortal grail]

HD6XX probs

[elfin mural]

https://videocardz.com/newz/socketed-cpu-laptops-and-high-end-mxm-graphics-are-fading-into-history

They're gone

[little steppe]

What about dt900 and hifiman edition which is a bit overkill

[mortal grail]

Need dac if you want dt990

Dac+amp for proper soundstage

I mean hd6xx, kinda prefers it too? But I don't think it's nearly as bad as the DT's

[little steppe]

Not 990

900

990 is like 500$ I think

[mortal grail]

Can't remember 900

Also I thought 990 was a lot cheaper than that?

Maybe I'm wrong

[little steppe]

I also play on console but I use the dac that was provided with the arctis nova pro

[mortal grail]

No they're much cheaper than 500

$150 usd for 990

But yeah you want a DAC+AMP so I wouldn't

[mortal grail]

Nova pros are decent for console

[wary fjord]

the board of laptop still the price of 80% of the price of the laptop xD if it dies

[mortal grail]

Like, quite good

Fairly hard to beat

[wary fjord]

pc master race mobo cheaper

[little steppe]

Ik it is a very massive difference between the pc38x that I had and I hated that headset with passion very inconsistent not to mention the clump on my ears was like horrendous

[mortal grail]

We've had this convo before

[little steppe]

I got the wired version of the nova pro I don’t like wireless fr gaming

[mortal grail]

Yeah I wouldn't touch a sennheiser set then

You'll have a repeat performance of the PC38X clamping your ears

[little steppe]

see that’s the problem I have I want to try the 560hd but I am just afraid it will be the same

[mortal grail]

Just stick to the nova pro imo

It will be

I have both

The clamp is like

Almost identical

[dusk trail]

PC38x are senns

at heart

[mortal grail]

Yup

And they both have the same headband

[elfin mural]

Just a gamer senns

[mortal grail]

Clamp is the same

Samp

[little steppe]

Not according to rtings atleast

[mortal grail]

I have both

Like right here

You want a pic?

They have the same fit

[little steppe]

Na I believe cause they look almost identical

[mortal grail]

Ya

And they really are for fit

[little steppe]

Idk what to do cause sound is selling me /:

[mortal grail]

You might get one or the other between samples be a little bit less forceful

But the fit and clamp is basically the same

Same design

I wouldn't do it

Nova pro is pretty good, not a whole lot else that's comparable for console

[tranquil pebble]

Well true for game engine but not for OS

even a simple OS is a complex project

[mortal grail]

The only other one I can think of would be virtuoso pro

But I don't think they'll be a whole league above nova pro

speicifically pro

The rest from corsair are garbage

[velvet summit]

hd6xx like felix said, is just the hd650 but has a cheaper price tag

[mortal grail]

Yeah and even then, the clamp

343 you remember this convo right

It's for console lol

[velvet summit]

oh the 560 i read it wrong, yeah it's not the same headphone as the 560

oh

[mortal grail]

We suggested nova pro before

[velvet summit]

yeah this is a very familiar convo lmao

[mortal grail]

I really can't think of anything else apart from virtuoso pro for console

And even then they aren't going to be this whole jump above nova pro

[little steppe]

Dude whenever there are explosions or gunshots I can’t hear anything it’s like the headset doesn’t work ik it’s supposed to like this but i just believe it can be better even tho it looks impossible

[mortal grail]

Console you're working to the conditions of the OS

With nova you get a DAC

Which helps a lot

But otherwise you're using the console codec

[velvet summit]

i mean, usually when there's explosions or gunshots, those sounds are loud enough to mask footsteps

i can for sure not hear any footsteps when at a gun range

☠️

[mortal grail]

Plugging into controller is also a terrible idea

Basic codec and low power

You really won't go much higher than nova pro mate

If at all

[little steppe]

I just noticed it also adds input lag

[mortal grail]

Yeah

It's not good

💀

[velvet summit]

because it's wireless

and using bluetooth

[mortal grail]

Virtuoso pro might be a bit clearer quality but it won't be boosted like novas will be

[little steppe]

I got to pro ps5 roller it’s 1khz on wired which is day and night difference

[mortal grail]

So it won't be as loud

Nova pro has a real advantage from that included dac

[little steppe]

The normal is 250hz💀

Well I can connect other headsets to that dac since it’s the same no?

[velvet summit]

realistically speaking, you're not really going to hear much more even if you get a $1000 headphone in a game like this

[little steppe]

What do they even do to those 1000$+ headsets to cost this much lol u can but a 4090 with that

[velvet summit]

better build quality, very high QC, handmade, etc.

[little steppe]

QC?

[velvet summit]

quality control

[mortal grail]

You're more limited by the console at this point

Going PC would open up options

[velvet summit]

or dare i say, your own hearing

[elfin mural]

im very satisfied with arctis 1 that i own myself

the best audio equipment ive ever had

it's not like senny good sound wise

but it's pretty decent

[little steppe]

Is it a miracle that my lg c1 doesn’t have burn In since 2021 non stop use every day?

[velvet summit]

not really?

[elfin mural]

not really

[mortal grail]

Little bit

[velvet summit]

burn in is caused by static images

[elfin mural]

sounds normal

[mortal grail]

Keep brightness low and it'll stay good

[elfin mural]

^

brightness is the bane of oled

[velvet summit]

ghost of pacman on crts goes hard

[elfin mural]

lmao

crt burn in

[little steppe]

Every time someone mentions oled they say”oh it’s going to burn in after a year don’t buy it.lower the brightness to be safe”ect here I am after 4 years and nothing has gone wrong

I think I am really lucky I use tv every day so I expected it to happen like 2 years ago

[mortal grail]

If you're not doing only one thing on the TV constantly or giving it constant breaks to break up TFT burns, it will hold up well

[mortal grail]

As said here^

But yeah if you want that luck to keep up, less brightness = less heat = less stress on pixels towards TFT burns and eventual permanent burns

It has everything to do with the screen (Or pixel) temperature

[hollow barn]

Okay, i just wanna ask where the best channel is to talk about Power Stations

Because i am about to ask for one for my Birthday

And as i'm writing, i'm still waiting for the answer of what the Highest Price is that i can ask of

Well, on my own looking rn i think that Electronics is (80% sure) the best channel to talk about that.

[velvet summit]

yeah that would work

[hollow barn]

okay, thanks

Never made an os but I remember my goofy ass tryna research about it Years ago and again its not hard

Theres a big difference between having a kernal and making it

[sinful blade]

wtf

[limpid dune]

where can i get gta 5 for a few euros

[velvet summit]

somebody on ebay probably is selling an old disc for that

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[limpid dune]

i have a bann on steam

[keen shale]

Yeah, let's not go there 😉

[velvet summit]

also you missed the free gtav giveaway on epic games store

wouldnt have needed to spend a penny

[limpid dune]

yeah i know

[wraith fern]

eww

do i have to get a razer huntsman mini now

its only 80 bucks but i DESPISE 60% 🤮

[rancid juniper]

Seen that video, the mod is impressive

[wooden marten]

Yes it infact is

one of the coolest fighter jets

[wraith fern]

should be getting my sora v2 today

[paper verge]

Nah that's the viggen

Mirage is mehhh

[dusk knot]

Hmmm

[hollow barn]

Meanwhile i slowed down my CPU to 4.8GHz and did a voltage offset of -0.125v

[rancid juniper]

i too UV my cpu to -0.125v

[cursive oasis]

I heard computers were freaking out around the world due to a bad patch by some company. Is it safe to boot up my computer?

[rancid juniper]

it is as long as your computer doesn't have crowdstrike software, which most dont have except large corporations

[cursive oasis]

OK good

[hollow barn]

By the way, i mean offset, so it uses the normal voltage curve and does an offset ot -0.125v

[rancid juniper]

guess mines is fixed then?

[hollow barn]

That is what my CPU has:

[hollow barn]

Well i think that in the images is okay right?

[rancid juniper]

THAT VOLTAGE THO

I run my cpu at a maximum of 1.110v

aircooled

and pulls a maximum of 150w

[hollow barn]

at what reading?

the Vcore?

[rancid juniper]

yes vcore

thats insane

[hollow barn]

That is insane at 4.8GHz!?

[rancid juniper]

whats the 10900k stock clocks?

[wraith fern]

is it weird that i use ram instead of a knife

[rancid juniper]

to do what?

[wraith fern]

open packages miainly

[hollow barn]

3.7GHz

[wraith fern]

i just have a lot of ram sitting around in my room and i open most packages in my room]

[rancid juniper]

i mean... if the ram is defective then its not that weird

[wraith fern]

so i use ram instead of knife

[rancid juniper]

and plus its a safer option

[hollow barn]

is it dead?

[wraith fern]

nope

it would work if i were to use it

[rancid juniper]

OK WTF BRUH

[wraith fern]

its old ddr3

i dont think i'll ever see another ddr3 system again

[rancid juniper]

could've sold it at the very least

[hollow barn]

[wraith fern]

for 10 bucks? nah ill live

[rancid juniper]

10900k can hit up to 5.3ghz

[hollow barn]

if lucky

[rancid juniper]

wait

you have a bad bin to the point it cannot hit 5.3ghz or thats just a thermal issue?

[hollow barn]

But i'd say it's much safer to run the CPU at 1.2 instead 1.4

[rancid juniper]

i hope its the latter here

[hollow barn]

Well, last time when OC Tuner 2 was chosen on BIOS the CPU would just outright draw 333W on P95

small fft

[rancid juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/steven-he-what-the-hell-gif-24191318

[hollow barn]

Yes, that CPU was drawing more than my GPU could

somehow

[little steppe]

Ssd fr ps5 1tb Any recommendations 50-100$ max prefer something that will “last”

[hollow barn]

But i re-iterate, it was with that setting on that.

[rancid juniper]

Prime95 small fft is cursed

Made my CPU hit up to 195w and crashed immediately

Already hitting thermal throttling as well

Never again

[hollow barn]

Great, now i need to go to BIOS to show what i mean

brb

[rancid juniper]

XD

[hollow barn]

That is what i mean:

i had it on OC Tuner 2

[velvet summit]

i have 2

[hollow barn]

brb yet again, but that time unrelated to the pc

[velvet summit]

im giving away one to my friend

with one of my old gaming monitors with 1 dead pixel

[hollow barn]

Was that insanity that i had it on OC Tuner 2 @rancid juniper ?

[velvet summit]

i'd argue a sharp knife is safer than a blunt object for cutting things

[wraith fern]

so would i

i was gonna say

but ram works fine for cutting tape as long as the tape is not too strong

[hollow barn]

... Knife?

[velvet summit]

knife.

[hollow barn]

yours is so interresting

Mine's so Boring

so "Safe"

[velvet summit]

3d printed knife

[rancid juniper]

ok ig

[rancid juniper]

probably

[hollow barn]

nope

[hollow barn]

Well, the voltage was way higher on that though

so 1.2v is a improvement compared to before

[rancid juniper]

take it down a peg

[hollow barn]

to 1.1v if i can?

[wraith fern]

do any of you guys use two mice on the regular

[velvet summit]

i mean, i have 2 hands, but no, i dont use 2 mice

[wraith fern]

i grabbed a sora v2, but my g502 is still in fine shape and i'm wondering if it's normal to swap between mice like if i'm playing flight sim or if i'm playing an fps

[velvet summit]

oh

you meant that

that isnt that strange

[wraith fern]

alr

[velvet summit]

i mean

my cousin swaps mousepads when playing fps

[wraith fern]

ok thats strange

[gleaming rivet]

I have several mice I use depending what I'm playing.

[wraith fern]

oh really?

[gleaming rivet]

Not really. Different mousepads have different levels of resistance.

[hollow barn]

i use only one mouse for a PC

and mouse pad?

[wraith fern]

i know

[hollow barn]

never layed one on my desk

[opaque sedge]

Whats the best sandevistan rn in cyberpunk?

And how do i upgrade my weapons

[hollow barn]

Yes, i'm being serious. I don't have a mouse pad on my desk

[velvet summit]

That isn't strange

Mouse pads mainly protect your desk really

[hollow barn]

From what? Anger?

[velvet summit]

And cloth mouse pads also makes it quieter

[velvet summit]

The mouse

[hollow barn]

Huh...

[velvet summit]

If you use a mouse without a mouse pad long enough, the desk kinda gets marked up

Only on some types of desks

[hollow barn]

my desk is already really quiet without a mouse pad

[opaque sedge]

Also its kind of hard to control imo at above 10000dpi

[velvet summit]

Depends on the desk as well, but yeah some desk surfaces don't track well

[opaque sedge]

Also meant the resistance

[velvet summit]

My cousin swaps mouse pads for fps because he has a nicer mouse pad for it, and doesn't want it to get dirty

Eh, résistance is a bit different

[hollow barn]

I got a huge bar with 6 legs:

Like it is like that: ↑

[velvet summit]

Some people prefer hard mouse pads, to the point of getting glass pads

Some like cloth

[wraith fern]

obsidian skates installed

[hollow barn]

the whole table is my mouse pad

funcionably

[velvet summit]

That isn't what I mean

I meant the desk surface

[hollow barn]

yeah it has a rough surface

[velvet summit]

I mean the material

[hollow barn]

of... the "desk"?

[velvet summit]

Also yeah the cheap rough plastic covered desk tends to track fine and also doesn't scratch up as much

[hollow barn]

odd

[velvet summit]

If you have a smooth surface with wood print on it, or a proper wood grain desk, you probably don't want to not use a mouse without a mouse pad on it

[wraith fern]

wowowowowowooww

[hollow barn]

Well, i did have some annoying issues on a particular table in the living room.

[velvet summit]

that being said, some mice can actually work on glass tables

idk what witchcraft logitech did, but they managed to make one of their office mice work on glass tables

[hollow barn]

Seize the demonic activities

[velvet summit]

it was their mx line

minimum of 4mm thick glass though

[hollow barn]

Well, going all the way back to the Power station: My whole room needs like 160W from the wall right now

[icy ore]

Omg

(Not going into politics just sharing this happened)

[velvet summit]

figure out ways to reduce your power draw rather than using solar and a battery bank

[hollow barn]

...

[velvet summit]

solar is unreliable at the scale of just a single 60w panel and small battery bank

even on the sunniest day, you cant sustain your 160w load currently

not to mention, the battery capacity is tiny

[oblique terrace]

Biden withdrew from presidency? Lol

[sinful blade]

He’s probably admitting that anyone in their 80s has no spot running an entire country

Let’s just hope the orange convicted felon, rapist, and pedo also follows suit

[oblique terrace]

Woah woah

[hollow barn]

okay, just reducing the Power usage on the house isn't an option i'm gonna take

[oblique terrace]

Wouldn’t say that to the president who was making everything right

There’s a reason why he’s winning lol

[velvet summit]

Well, not going to be a presidential candidate for the next term

[oblique terrace]

So what happens now

[velvet summit]

He'll still be the president till the end of this term

[hollow barn]

i mean fully detaching my room (except ceiling light)

[oblique terrace]

Yeah I know but

So what happens trump just wins like that

[sinful blade]

https://tenor.com/view/laughing-laugh-funny-hilarious-drunk-gif-9612213

[oblique terrace]

Unless a new president try’s to run right

Tried

Tries

[velvet summit]

I'd like to remind you all that Markiplier is now old enough to become president

[oblique terrace]

I don’t want a gamer running the country

🤣

[sinful blade]

Hopefully not
Kamala is the next best bet
She has sat under Biden this entire time

[velvet summit]

He'd do a better job frfr

[oblique terrace]

She’s not winning

💀

[keen shale]

Why we politcing up in hurr saying bad things.

[oblique terrace]

They won’t vote for her just cuz she’s a female

That’s legit it

[sinful blade]

We’re staying civil

[oblique terrace]

We’re innocent Americans

I think

[hollow barn]

like my attempt on trying to move to Power station?

[sinful blade]

Hilary almost won

[oblique terrace]

I don’t see what Kamala has done

Though

Atleast Hilary is bill clintons wife

🤣

Are they still together

[velvet summit]

There hasn't really been any good reason why you can't do that
If it pains you that much to increase the power bill by like $5 a month, then give your parents your portion of the power bill each month and be done with it

[elfin mural]

ay peeps

keep politics to a minimum

[oblique terrace]

No disrespect just talking abt Biden ending his re election campaign

[sinful blade]

Isn’t Gavin newsom a pretty good candidate?

[oblique terrace]

And asking if bill clinton is still married

[sinful blade]

Thought he’s been doing quite well over there

[oblique terrace]

💀

[hollow barn]

okay get that, i have no job and it isn't easy for me to get one rn

[oblique terrace]

Maybe he’ll try running

But the vice president might end up running

[velvet summit]

If you need power that much, steal it from McDonald's or something

[oblique terrace]

💀

[velvet summit]

They have outlets at so many tables

[sinful blade]

Either Kamala or Gavin will probably be the best bet

[oblique terrace]

Does Kamala even have the money to run

[sinful blade]

But I’d rather not get project 2025’d

[oblique terrace]

💀

[sinful blade]

She would inherit all of bidens

But finances won’t be a problem with this election

[oblique terrace]

Yeah but his networth isn’t much either

Considering

His nw barely went up after election

Trumps went down 1 billion somehow

Still confused abt that

[sinful blade]

President doesn’t get paid as much

[oblique terrace]

Well yeah explains why we’re 30 trillion in debt to someone

[keen shale]

Using words like po and rist isnt civil

[sinful blade]

Usually what happens when you lie about owning large amounts of debt, lie about hundreds of properties worth, etc etc

[oblique terrace]

I mean

[sinful blade]

That’s what he did
Not much to converse about that

[oblique terrace]

Wait

What happened to trump tower

He sold it or what

How come a mortgage company owns it now

He has one in las Vegas too I guess

Prob generating a lot

[sinful blade]

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-66949606

[oblique terrace]

Well that explains it

[sinful blade]

Gotta love fearmongering

[oblique terrace]

I want Obama

That mf was chill asf

[sinful blade]

I think we all collectively do

[velvet summit]

https://tenor.com/view/barack-obama-gif-14713645611577259969

[sinful blade]

I’d vote for a third term of him

[oblique terrace]

Interesting

[sinful blade]

I’d even vote for his wife

[oblique terrace]

Cuz Obama would help her

[sinful blade]

100%

[oblique terrace]

Yeah I liked Obama

He was a overall chill president

First black president as well

[sinful blade]

I love how Biden’s age is a major concern for voters, yet T-man is literally 3 years younger.

[oblique terrace]

I don’t think Biden did good as president

[sinful blade]

Dude literally had some of the best economic times

[sinful blade]

He did quite good

You just didn’t hear about it over the fearmongering over T

[oblique terrace]

Idk but

It’s like he wants to get involved in the wars currently

Confused why he called Zelenskyy Putin on stage

lol

[sinful blade]

https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/02/02/joe-biden-30-policy-things-you-might-have-missed-00139046

[oblique terrace]

See

[sinful blade]

Same reason T has just gone on bumbling rants for minutes on end.
Old people.
T has shown clear signs of onset Dementia.
Biden is just getting old. Doesn’t have the physical prowess.

[oblique terrace]

A lot of votes are gonna be becuz of what trump said

He was gonna end some sort of tax

[oblique terrace]

Idk but when I saw them both in the room

Doing their speeches

I was laughing

[sinful blade]

Did you watch the RNC video stream?

It was just… not their best moments

[oblique terrace]

I could tell but

[sinful blade]

There should’ve been fact checkers for both of em

[oblique terrace]

Yeah

[velvet summit]

If I were a united states citizen I probably wouldn't trust either b or t to be president

[oblique terrace]

Yeah

I want Obama

Or matter of fact

Bring back Kanye for president

He was doing so good at 1%

🤣

[velvet summit]

☠️

[sinful blade]

Nazi movement

[oblique terrace]

💀

I will never forget this

Idk how he even managed to get 60k votes

[velvet summit]

Ong

[oblique terrace]

But props to him

Ppl trusted the Yeezy owner to run for president

💀

[velvet summit]

Probably just as a joke

Nobody expected him to win

[oblique terrace]

Would’ve been funny if he did

Would’ve been a ww3 and ww4

[velvet summit]

☠️

[elfin mural]

What'd I say about no political topics

smh

[oblique terrace]

Oh come on

It’s Kanye

He’s not even a president

[velvet summit]

He probably would get assassinated before a 2nd war happens lmao

[oblique terrace]

💀

[elfin mural]

The topic still talks about that

[wraith fern]

anyone here know what the LOD and motion sync do?

Deutsche Bahn

Oh

The slow ass train

Well, the train isn't slow

The late ass train

[wraith fern]

[hollow barn]

Yeah, and last week thursday it was especially unreliable

So unreliable that even the drivers themselves had a mini meltdown

And I really mean mini

As unreliable as OOCT's Network

finally a normal dl speed from them

Finally i can do the thing i was asked to do before

yall think its worth learning to use linux just for the hell of it

one of the IT guys where i'm at actually offered to teach me but idk if it's a worthwhile endeavour

pretty much everything runs on linux

outside of client software

I'm willing to bet that most of Microsoft's infrastructure uses linux

[mental yoke]

EVO put some respeck on the name.

[rancid juniper]

not trying to disrespect EVO here

[severe pivot]

nah i want atleast 500mb of my 2gb internet 😭

they giving me .55mb......

[safe cape]

should i install the amd driver on my 5600g ?

[severe pivot]

shouldnt it already have the drivers on it?

[safe cape]

for the igpu

[severe pivot]

ohhhh

are you running off your cpu?

or do you have a gpu also in

[safe cape]

just cpu

[severe pivot]

if you're running off your cpu you probably should

since you'd probably want it lol

[safe cape]

because right now im getting freezes and black screen while watching youtube

idk why

[severe pivot]

wowie

on a 5600g?

[safe cape]

yeap

reddit says xmp

[severe pivot]

you running what quality

[safe cape]

idk

[safe cape]

not youtube

[severe pivot]

xmp is in ur booting menu

[safe cape]

just browsing

[severe pivot]

wowie

uh

before even installing the igpu

id enable xmp

[safe cape]

already enabled

i need to disabled it

[severe pivot]

why?

[safe cape]

idk

[severe pivot]

it makes ur ram run at its best

if you turn it off itll just be running worse

what are you running on

like full specs

because it might be over powering it

[onyx merlin]

well dam

looks like this year is going pearshaped

[severe pivot]

might

real

[onyx merlin]

certain person just dropped out

and boosted someone elses chance of winning office

[severe pivot]

oop

[onyx merlin]

going to be a sad election year

regardless at least weather is mostly ok today

[safe cape]

a520/32ram/5600g

[severe pivot]

with that you should be completely fine

[safe cape]

yeah

[severe pivot]

so xmp shouldnt be the issue

hmm

[safe cape]

i dont know

if its ram or cpu driver

tried some games

running fine

i will check right now the bios

[severe pivot]

alr

[keen shale]

No, you have to have a modem between you and the ISP

[safe cape]

i have some freezes on my pc

should i leave ram frequency on auto ?

or change it to 3200mhz

[keen shale]

Freeze as in lock up and reboot?

[safe cape]

no just watching youtube

[keen shale]

Blue screens

[safe cape]

then i got freezes /black screens for 5 sec

[keen shale]

oh, you running an adblocker?

[safe cape]

yes

[keen shale]

That's why. Youtube is messing with people's CPU's if they're running adblockers

Making them go to 100% and slowing down the website

If it's only Youtube, that's why

[safe cape]

brave browser ?

[keen shale]

Doesn't matter the browser

[safe cape]

hahahaha

because ingame i dont have problems

[keen shale]

It's a real thing. They want you to either watch ads or buy Premium

The true test is to disable your adblocker and try the site. If no issues, there's your answer

[safe cape]

i will test it these days

and i will see

are you changing the fans

or just stock

eh nvm. That would be for RTX3070 any any CPU

[craggy pollen]

good morning

[idle nexus]

check "Core Effective Clocks" not "Core Clocks"

[keen shale]

I did

That's the small extra window right?

[idle nexus]

sorry

[idle nexus]

Also for Ryzen, right click on the HWiNFO icon thing in system tray then go to settings & enable "Snapshot CPU Polling"

the Help String popup whatever explains why lol

you'll only see one frequency per core (not 2x cuz of SMT) but it's more accurate apparently

[keen shale]

Ahhhh, that part of it

do those match Ryzen Master for the most part at least? lol

whaaa when did these come out??

Found someone selling a Samsung Series 7 UN75F7100AF 75" TV with TV stand and mount for 300 think it'd be worth it?

I'd wall mount it so I wouldn't need the stand so maybe I could sell that for some and get a little back

If not I'd have to wait until black Friday and pickup a tv from a place during that

But on the other hand if I did black friday/cyber monday I would have enough time to save up and get a 70 inch samsung oled

I think I'm grabbing an oled around that time

Either that or a gpu upgrade
