[craggy shoal]

You'd have to do it on the initial installation. I think it's also an easy way to bypass signing into Microsoft (I could be wrong about that). Just don't have your Wi-Fi card plugged in nor an Ethernet plugged in either

[idle nexus]

lol I just expected it to call French fries chips or something heck

[elfin mural]

man im too lazy to reinstall windows again

[craggy shoal]

I mean yeah it's not worth it now lol

[elfin mural]

besides im on a laptop

so no internet is not an option

[idle nexus]

me too but mostly because I feel like totally wiping all drives & starting over works better than having to take ownership in security settings

& my Fallout4 game has grown to nearly 1tb & I don't wanna replace all that

[mortal grail]

Ice on my arm now

[elfin mural]

ive been coping with it

[mortal grail]

Harder to type as well

[elfin mural]

at least menus and ui appears in thai or english

so that's readable

[idle nexus]

seriously all that's on here is Fallout4 & FO4 mods lol

[mortal grail]

I come back later fr

[elfin mural]

i don't know french. my region changed to france because i was forcing a game to use eu servers

[opaque sedge]

You can dunk a hand towel into ice water and squeeze and rest that but altho not an option since you’re probably near electronics 24/7

[mortal grail]

I am not

The ice is fine tho

I am near dental equipment 24/7

[opaque sedge]

Damn typing from phone?

[opaque sedge]

[mortal grail]

With the ok hand yes

[opaque sedge]

Sus

[mortal grail]

Ice resting on arm

[opaque sedge]

Whats the drill called that shoots out a bit of water at the same time?

yay or nay

[mortal grail]

The fwooshbrrrrr

[opaque sedge]

[opaque sedge]

The 9000series are apus as well?

[elfin mural]

no

this is a mini pc that takes am5

it has oculink

so you can use egpus

but it's focused on apus

$259 for only the machine with nothing in it

not bad ig

power supply and stuff

[craggy shoal]

So you'd just need the CPU (APU?), RAM, and storage?

[elfin mural]

yes

everything is ready

[opaque sedge]

Oh interesting, i remember one of those asus mini laptops having that egpu gimmick as well

[elfin mural]

oculink is pretty nifty

[opaque sedge]

Rog swift smth

[elfin mural]

it's like 4x pcie 4.0 over a port

and specifically catered towards gpus

[opaque sedge]

Damn

[rancid juniper]

where 40CU APU???

[opaque sedge]

Apus can game pretty well on 1080p right?

[elfin mural]

well enough

[rancid juniper]

yep

[elfin mural]

680m having 1650 perf

[nocturne flicker]

Man, I just saw a cybertruck in middle of nowhere TN. And I gotta say, what a stupid hunk of junk

[elfin mural]

780m slightly faster

[rancid juniper]

if the 780m is that good imagine 880m+

[opaque sedge]

Damn whats the power consumption

[elfin mural]

racooons see em as trash bins

[elfin mural]

65w combined cpu and gpu

[rancid juniper]

quick rumor: https://videocardz.com/newz/alleged-intel-core-ultra-9-285k-arrow-lake-s-processor-appears-in-cpu-z-screenshot-with-5-ghz-clock

[nocturne flicker]

Silliest thing I've ever seen on the road

[elfin mural]

can do more but it's diminishing returns

[opaque sedge]

Dude i was driving down traffic once and saw one too and the driver gave me a death stare 💀

[opaque sedge]

Jesus wth that’s insane

[elfin mural]

it's honestly very livable

using my laptop on 680m

it can play roblox lol

[opaque sedge]

Could work well in laptops too right?

[tranquil bronze]

It say’s on my sheet windows is supposed to be installed but my pc is saying this

[elfin mural]

yes

[opaque sedge]

Unplugged?

[rancid juniper]

ngl i thought e-cores were hyperthreading

[elfin mural]

unplugged is possible but ehhh

batt life would be hell anyway

[opaque sedge]

Tru

But great lengthy portable gaming seems to be closer than ever

[elfin mural]

it's already a thing

steam decks, etc

and it's apparently booming

[opaque sedge]

Yh i might not get a second pc in the future lol it could very well be a handheld

For gaming

[elfin mural]

in the future all you'd need is probably a laptop

not a gaming one

but a laptop

just feed it a lot of ram and you're good

[opaque sedge]

Damn kind of sad now my current pc build could very well be my last with how much stuff is improving

[elfin mural]

i doubt it will be within like a few years

but it's happening

[opaque sedge]

It could be sooner like performance gains each generation is very brutal

Nowadays

[elfin mural]

we finally have a mainstream dedicated gpu rivaling apu

[rancid juniper]

man its wild

years ago igpus were a joke

now they gettin serious

[elfin mural]

words can't describe how impressed i am

especially when i tried beamng on igp

and it's actually playable

[opaque sedge]

1080p perf is pretty good do u guys think 1440p will become viable after a couple generations?

[tranquil bronze]

So my windows wasn’t installed right and my pc isn’t finding windows setup it’s always telling me to press ok to restart the computer

[elfin mural]

maybe?

[tranquil bronze]

I got my computer today yet Ian

Yeyian

[opaque sedge]

How does vram work for apus?

Does it use the system ram? Like the apple silicon chips

[elfin mural]

it uses system ram

so ram speed matters

[opaque sedge]

Dgpu ram speeds are like 2k mhz right

[elfin mural]

more

[opaque sedge]

Nvidia ones are sky high i think

[elfin mural]

but ig in measurable clocks?

yes lol

vram clocks aren't unified

so it gets confusing

[opaque sedge]

Saw a 4070s review with vram clocks reaching 10.5k 💀

[ionic dawn]

I need to set it so my TV and Computer turn on when I flip on the surge protector, is there an easy way to do this?

[opaque sedge]

So nvidia went with bandwidth and amd went towards bus

[elfin mural]

10.5k you see is "effective" clock speed

[opaque sedge]

So its even higher

Jesus

[elfin mural]

actually nah

in reality it's much lower

[mortal grail]

OMG IT'S THE PRINGLES GUY

[high star]

what

[opaque sedge]

Kids when ice cream truck noises

[elfin mural]

https://videocardz.com/newz/italian-zen-5-review-ryzen-9-9900x-falls-short-against-ryzen-7-7800x3d-in-gaming

[high star]

pringles guy where

[velvet summit]

There is a red and blue Tesla in front of my car

[high star]

total it

[elfin mural]

non 3d vcache zen 5 losing to zen4 with 3d vcache

[opaque sedge]

How do you guys think amd can make the 9000x3d chips better than the current ones?

[velvet summit]

Tesla's are actually really hard to stop because of their very low center of gravity

[elfin mural]

by simply being faster

[velvet summit]

Pit maneuvers barely work on them

[high star]

cartels buying bulk cybertrucks rn

[opaque sedge]

Use the 9000 series’s new architecture and slap on a bunch of 3d v cache?

[velvet summit]

Nah I'm talking about the reg teslas

[elfin mural]

yep

[mortal grail]

They simply won't release 9000X3D if they can't make it better

[velvet summit]

Like model s

And such

[elfin mural]

that's basically the recipe to gaming perf

[mortal grail]

Pretty much

Everyone's saying "9000X3D won't beat 7000X3D" which is BS

[opaque sedge]

Imagine they couldn’t and decided to release a refreshed 7800x3d instead 💀

[mortal grail]

Throws out what we had with 5000X3D

[mortal grail]

They won't

[elfin mural]

also

[mortal grail]

Why would they rerelease what sells well

[opaque sedge]

Would the socket hold them back in developing such a chip btw?

[elfin mural]

9900x being only like 5-8% behind 7800x3d in games

you know the 3d ones will be faster

by far

[opaque sedge]

Idk maybe took notes from nvidia from the 4070tis 💀

[tranquil bronze]

I’ve asked and haven’t had a reply can u help please?

[elfin mural]

so like we actually have gains

it actually looks within reason lmao

[mortal grail]

Nvidia wets it's pants any time AMD moves, that's different

[high star]

feetlicks charges on a message-by-message basis

[mortal grail]

May take a while to do this

[elfin mural]

intel's hq on fire

all while amd is trotting along

making better cpus

[opaque sedge]

Btw guys what do you think is the best starter gpu rn?

[mortal grail]

Wiping the ssd would be a start

[high star]

probably a 2000 series still

or a 3060?

[opaque sedge]

Yk a fun question

I say the gre or the 4070s

[elfin mural]

starter?

[mortal grail]

You'll have to check your manual for this or look for a manufacturer instructions vid

[elfin mural]

if it's like a $600 pc

6600

[opaque sedge]

Like first gaming pc

[mortal grail]

6700xt or titan xp

[elfin mural]

titan xp is so good

tho it's a tad hungry

[opaque sedge]

Its kind of a raw raster card right?

[elfin mural]

but all the perf you get for $150-160

[opaque sedge]

Like amd ones

[sweet phoenix]

"Love has no age, no limit; and no death"

[rancid juniper]

ayy MD

[elfin mural]

it's still very good lmao

[sweet phoenix]

Wym by that my man

[elfin mural]

and the vram helps

[tranquil bronze]

So what I understand I pay thousands of dollars and I have to pay to get help hmmm

[mortal grail]

He was joking

[opaque sedge]

I found dicaprio guys!?!?

[rancid juniper]

best gpu under $50 frfr

[sweet phoenix]

For real

[high star]

joke

feetlicks is a charitable individual

[sweet phoenix]

Bros bio is a self report

[tranquil bronze]

Oh ok sorry I’m just a little pissed because it said it was in working condition

[elfin mural]

12gb, insane raw raster perf back in its day

[high star]

yeah fs i understand

[elfin mural]

the titan xp is almost timeless

[rancid juniper]

former 6700xt user here, that card has a lot of perf for what its worth

can game at 1440p really well

[opaque sedge]

6700xt hmm reminds me of the 250 buck 6750xt

[tranquil bronze]

True lol

[opaque sedge]

Damn just looked it up

They upped the price

[sweet phoenix]

Wym by that my man

"Love has no age"

Yes tf it does lmao

[tranquil bronze]

I’m a woman not a man lol

[rancid juniper]

what is this?

[mortal grail]

@tranquil bronze ^

[sweet phoenix]

It is a figure of speech, but here

Wym by that my woman

[opaque sedge]

Love isn’t tangible so it technically doesn’t but the period of time of a love does

Its philosophical crap that can be easily misunderstood

[craggy shoal]

Y'all talking like y'all are in relationships 💀

[opaque sedge]

A regretful uninformed consumer

[sweet phoenix]

I'm literally sitting next to my significant other in the room that we share.

[mortal grail]

I love my golf like I love my dentistry

[rancid juniper]

consumer: this looks like a psu

😂

[mortal grail]

I'm a dentist btw

[opaque sedge]

He probably bought it cuz it looked cool and new tech 😭

[craggy shoal]

So two of us here are in relationships. Unless we count Feetlicker and his Golf

[mortal grail]

Also I'm not a dentist

[opaque sedge]

So glad you guys steered me in the right direction for my build

[craggy shoal]

You're a feet licker

[mortal grail]

Love holds no limits

[mortal grail]

Love holds no limits

[rancid juniper]

just like the people who bought jank RGB pcs that have GT 710's going for $500+

[opaque sedge]

[high star]

this guy definitely "summers" and "winters"

[opaque sedge]

Dude look at what i saw in reddit once its so much worse now

[mortal grail]

Motor thinks I live in Aus when I'm actually his coworker driving a golf

[opaque sedge]

People dont even care about specs anymore they care abt fan brands 😭

[mortal grail]

REAL

[opaque sedge]

Its the fashion industry all over again

[mortal grail]

THERMALRIGHT IS COOL

[rancid juniper]

why do i feel like the fans costs alot

...

[opaque sedge]

Like can you guys imagine spending over 500 bucks on just the case and fans

[rancid juniper]

oh my

OH MY 🤢

[opaque sedge]

They do he has three fans that have small lcd screens that cost 50 bucks each

[mortal grail]

3 grand and no 4090???

Wth

[rancid juniper]

XD

[mortal grail]

Bro scammed himself

[rancid juniper]

cringe

[mortal grail]

Oh god dominator sticks

[opaque sedge]

Its lian li ofc

[elfin mural]

btw what does positive CO do?

[mortal grail]

Oh god the TL unifans

HELP

[mortal grail]

Add positive voltage

@tranquil bronze did you read my message

[opaque sedge]

The pc does looked blinged out ofc but just a 7900xt 💀

[elfin mural]

ope

[mortal grail]

They spent 1500 more on the build for AESTHETICS

HALF THE BUDGET

[rancid juniper]

should i judge?

lol

[mortal grail]

I'm not even exaggerating

[rancid juniper]

i mean if they got the money i guess...

[opaque sedge]

Ur allowed to in this case

[mortal grail]

2600 gets a 4090/7800x3d pc

[rancid juniper]

ok... WTF WAS HE THINKING???

[opaque sedge]

Like atleast prioritize smth first 😭

[mortal grail]

This dude spent 800 less for a 7900xt

[velvet summit]

Adds carbon monoxide into your room

[mortal grail]

Then proceeds to spend 1200 more to make 3k

[rancid juniper]

wait its not XTX???!?!?!?!?

[opaque sedge]

Like I’m prioritizing getting a good monitor before upgrading anything in my pc rn

[rancid juniper]

☠️

[mortal grail]

It's quite literally half the budget

And 800 is generous

It's more like 900

[opaque sedge]

The asrock phantom costs 700 even at msrp

Rn

[mortal grail]

Yup

Oh god the dual 990 pros

💀

[opaque sedge]

Its a pretty decent option if people wanna go white aesthetics

[mortal grail]

Bro spent gen 5 money for 3tb of XS70

[craggy shoal]

bro ur mom

[mortal grail]

$400 for 3tb worth $180

[elfin mural]

[rancid juniper]

cheapest XT and XTX

[mortal grail]

She's not my golf

[opaque sedge]

Damn felix is mad 💀

[mortal grail]

Also I'm a dentist

[mortal grail]

Nah perfectly chill

[opaque sedge]

He didn’t get this mad even when I mentioned the 4070tis

[craggy shoal]

Might be getting a Golf some time next month though tbh

[opaque sedge]

💀

[velvet summit]

Flabbergasted

[mortal grail]

Its just unbelievably pcmr build

I ain't mad

I see this all the time

[opaque sedge]

Ngl i have probably mentioned the 4070tis more in this server than my own gpu

[rancid juniper]

i'd take no advice from PCMR

[elfin mural]

pcmr moment

[opaque sedge]

💀

[mortal grail]

They're so expensive now

[craggy shoal]

Not insane where I am

obtainable

[mortal grail]

They're great still

Better even

But expensive

[craggy shoal]

Probably gonna get a 2017-2021 (North American Mk7, obviously)

[mortal grail]

They used to be like half the price 💀

[mortal grail]

2023+ is ironically great

[craggy shoal]

Unless I see something else that fits my needs and just as fun

[opaque sedge]

Yh def like there were no comments at all in that post abt the guy overspending for a midrange build

[mortal grail]

2017 is nice tho

[rancid juniper]

feelsbadman

[mortal grail]

Can't talk about between, never owned a 2020-2022

[craggy shoal]

Same generation. I bet it's the same

[velvet summit]

Be the first

Be the change you want to sde

See

[opaque sedge]

I dont have a reddit acc lol

Deleted the one

[rancid juniper]

gets downvoted to hell

😂

[mortal grail]

2015-2020 was very similar bar interior changes

[opaque sedge]

Strange looks like i’m logged into one

[mortal grail]

Until 2023 platform won't be different

But 2023 they went upmarket

Big interior overhaul, tons of electrics

Dual screens

[opaque sedge]

Wth I’m positive i deleted it

[mortal grail]

+10K starting price 💀

[velvet summit]

Skill issue

[mortal grail]

Facebook moment

They do the same thing

[rancid juniper]

whatever you post on the net

STAYS ON THE NET

unless you pay the company to delete it yeye

[unreal trail]

[elfin mural]

or unless

the company goes kaput

[velvet summit]

Deleting Reddit accounts isn't hard

[unreal trail]

delete deez nuts

[rancid juniper]

bruh

[mortal grail]

Do it for fingers

[rough zinc]

Great cars just gotta keep up with the maintenance perfectly

[velvet summit]

They should comment on every overpriced pcmr build first

[rancid juniper]

wayback machine:

[unreal trail]

I have a modern day station wagon aka Chevy Equinox

[mortal grail]

Esp. at the 5 year mark onwards

Good to get an extended warranty imo

[unreal trail]

I need to get some 4x4s

[mortal grail]

When you know, that same $300 warranty price covers 2 years with a $30K car rather than a $600 monitor

[opaque sedge]

Yh looks like it worked this time i confused the username with email it seems

[velvet summit]

Why do so many car owners not even being their car in for an oil change and run it till the engine dies

[mortal grail]

Wtf with dell anyway and warranties

Ftc should nail dell for aggressive warranty targeting

[opaque sedge]

It was a skill issue indeed 🥲

[mortal grail]

Like they're nailing adobe for nasty subscriptions

[velvet summit]

I assume they get alot of profit for that since usually you don't really run into issues with your system

Because stupidity

[opaque sedge]

Sure lets go to a vet boy

[mortal grail]

My car great ohnomywheelfelloff

[rough zinc]

I love how people claim German most unreliable only because they never did maintenance

Or bad maintenance

[craggy shoal]

This is the answer

[unreal trail]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-shocked-betrayed-mouth-open-what-gif-17370179

[mortal grail]

German cars are unironically one of the most rally proof choices

[rough zinc]

Hell even normal mechanics will destroy them because they don’t know what they’re doing

[craggy shoal]

I also don't have the money to maintain a German car though. Just enough money to pay off a loan that would get me one 💀

[mortal grail]

You can chuck a porsche, a 3 series or a c class at a rally and the car will in fact do it

Especially the more crossover ones

[rough zinc]

It’s the reason why my X5 died, the mechanic my dad took it to before I bought it off of him never actually primed the engine after oil changes or an oil filter housing gasket swap and rod bearings went because of it

[opaque sedge]

That reminds subaru apparently released a 670hp wrx

[velvet summit]

No maintenance Toyota goes hard frfr

[mortal grail]

Ohp don't let alec know about that

[rough zinc]

Didn’t release it, it’s a one off thing

[opaque sedge]

Its got that 2 liter boxer everyone seems to get wet over

[mortal grail]

He'll press his gas pedal too much and blow the engine

[rough zinc]

Heheheh

Excuse to mod it

[elfin mural]

oh no

[rough zinc]

Nah I’m just waiting for the warranty period to expire first

[mortal grail]

3 years good behaviour bond

[elfin mural]

[mortal grail]

Then release from prison (warranty)

[craggy shoal]

release from prison (warranty)

[mortal grail]

Japanese cars being the most rally choice tbh

[rough zinc]

Can’t wait for this warranty to be over

[mortal grail]

You just got the car

Wtf

[rough zinc]

The 2.4 in it so far is seeming to be the most reliable Subaru tuning platform

[mortal grail]

We'll be middle aged by the time you rev your wrx

[rough zinc]

Actually the wheel well

[mortal grail]

Old man

[craggy shoal]

I just want 300hp even if I have to get it tuned

[mortal grail]

Why do you want 300

[rough zinc]

This is the first car I’ve ever had below 300hp

[proud jackal]

Bed comes in tomorrow

[velvet summit]

4 horsepower car
(It's just 1 horse pulling a carriage

[mortal grail]

Why do yall want 300 💀

[proud jackal]

[craggy shoal]

Because my car makes like half of that. Just 300 minimum ya know?

[mortal grail]

If this was a track day car sure

[craggy shoal]

entry-level speedy boy

[mortal grail]

Lost license territory

[opaque sedge]

Do cats hunt squirrels?

[velvet summit]

Possibly

[rough zinc]

Yeah lost license territory

[mortal grail]

I feel like 250 is more than enough for anyone on a public road

150 is ample

[rough zinc]

Lol my first car had 315 iirc

[mortal grail]

Take it to a track, sure

Go 1300

[elfin mural]

an american camry with v6 has 305

[mortal grail]

Not on a street

[proud jackal]

Get 150hp gas efficient

[craggy shoal]

boring

[mortal grail]

Pics

[elfin mural]

lemme show

[mortal grail]

I don't ever remember a camry pulling that much stock

Aurion v6 had like 250

[rough zinc]

It does

Camry TRD

[mortal grail]

Since when

Oh trd

Pfft

[rough zinc]

Still slow af tho

[mortal grail]

Ofc trd

FRONT WHEEL

[elfin mural]

normal xse has 301 too

[mortal grail]

THE OLDER ONES WERE REAR

WHAT HAPPENED TOYOTA

[elfin mural]

nah camrys were fwd since the 90's

don't forget

and every generation had a v6 option

[opaque sedge]

Fwd cars are pretty nice esp from Toyota and honda

Awd cars can apparently hard to maintain

[elfin mural]

301hp tho

[mortal grail]

Dammit nvm

You guys are right

[rough zinc]

Not really

[elfin mural]

thru the front wheel with no lsd

[opaque sedge]

And rwd might not work in bad weather

Like ice and snow

[mortal grail]

I thought the old aurion was rwd

[rough zinc]

RWD is fun in snow

[elfin mural]

so it's not good stock

it has power but bad launch

[mortal grail]

This thing

[rough zinc]

Back when I had the 500hp C350 that was some fun in the snow

[velvet summit]

They do in fact work in ice and snow

[opaque sedge]

Unless ur a very skilled driver with a decently powerful car

[velvet summit]

Handling them is harder though

[mortal grail]

This still doesn't change that a camry is such a weird ass flex

Like, you don't get any attention with a camry

[elfin mural]

yeah lol

[mortal grail]

Go buy a gt86

[elfin mural]

but it weirdly has a powerful v6

[velvet summit]

Practically a sleep frfr

Sleeper

[mortal grail]

That'll Get you attention

[mortal grail]

Sleep

[elfin mural]

accords same case

[velvet summit]

Mfw autocorrect

[elfin mural]

they used to offer v6

[mortal grail]

No it doesn't need autocorrect

[elfin mural]

so honda and toyota were in it

[mortal grail]

It's not a sleeper it's just a sleep

No one cares how fast a camry goes

[velvet summit]

Lmao

[mortal grail]

Aurion was good. 276hp

Like proper good

[elfin mural]

not exactly built for high speeds tho

it gets floaty

[mortal grail]

But that car was marketed as a jdm to compete with sports cars

This is just a camry

💀

Same car but camry is like

Corolla

💀💀

[elfin mural]

btw felix, that aurion is asian camry

[mortal grail]

Ik

They even have the same bodykit

[elfin mural]

and camrys are seen in SEA countries as executive cars

[mortal grail]

We had both

[elfin mural]

with luxurious features

and powerful engines

[mortal grail]

No, a crown is executive

[elfin mural]

so ye

[mortal grail]

A camry is just

Car

[elfin mural]

i know but crown is jdm

[mortal grail]

Crown is toyota

[elfin mural]

but people here regard to em as luxury

so idk

[mortal grail]

Real luxury toyotas are crowns

[rough zinc]

Camry is also jdm if sold in Japan

[mortal grail]

Car tho tbh

Definition of car worldwide

Camry

[elfin mural]

accords and camrys are often compared to bimmers here

[mortal grail]

Rearrange the word it says "My car"

It be a car

[elfin mural]

mainly because of material choices

more expensive and all

[mortal grail]

Accords are camrys but with an edgy vtec pre pubescence

[opaque sedge]

Camries and accords are fairly expensive cars now right?

[rough zinc]

That’s crazy, barely any Japanese cars gets attention here in the US except for old JDM, or new sports cars

[elfin mural]

im aware as much

[elfin mural]

nope

[mortal grail]

Over here they're just the standard car

[elfin mural]

they're still pretty cheap in america

[mortal grail]

Camry is the car

[misty sparrow]

If Camrys are standard Toyota cars then what are Priuses

[elfin mural]

30k or so starting

[opaque sedge]

The 5k markup at my local honda dealer: hehe boi

[mortal grail]

Walking battery failures

[elfin mural]

fancy corolla

[opaque sedge]

The new one is great i hear

[elfin mural]

btw new camry is hybrid only

[opaque sedge]

Tires dont look that expensive to replace either

[elfin mural]

it became prius as a sedan

[mortal grail]

I've seen too many years of old prius to accept what the new ones are

When I was in seattle everyone drove a prius especially

[rough zinc]

More expensive than a WRX

[mortal grail]

I got to try out every year of prius

[rough zinc]

They’re like 40k ish

[opaque sedge]

Priuses give me conflicting feelings, some drive like grandmas down the freeway and some drive like they’re in initial d

[mortal grail]

REAL

LMFAO

[elfin mural]

https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS2G5t7BbkBYR-eYg19xCqGg3wdfToTESASjA&usqp=CAU

new camry

hybrid only

even the base is hybrid

[opaque sedge]

My heart starts to race everytime i see a prius out of fear more than a loud charger

[mortal grail]

Did it get in a bar fight or something

[elfin mural]

lmao

[mortal grail]

Half it's face got scraped off

[elfin mural]

it's literally the same platform

[opaque sedge]

Looks like it got plastic surgery

[elfin mural]

just revised

[opaque sedge]

Looks “better” but doesn’t

Like kind of hard to word it out

[mortal grail]

Poor camry, facial reconstruction wasn't a total success

[opaque sedge]

Yh so much better

Has personality

[elfin mural]

https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTx0cpUNRWD0v2DTguR77HaaYS6P41PDpjwCQ&usqp=CAU

better in higher trims?

[mortal grail]

One too many drinks and a punch up with an accord later:
https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS2G5t7BbkBYR-eYg19xCqGg3wdfToTESASjA&usqp=CAU

[opaque sedge]

If this was smaller i would assume its a new corolla

[misty sparrow]

It looks like it broke its nose

[elfin mural]

lmao

[opaque sedge]

Looks like its trying too hard

[elfin mural]

https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSzkUWEZoDAFRoH8sZW2VJW89lX3A_GSjNrbA0VIAWfuLNJgh3uFIE2BSs&s=10

[mortal grail]

Wtf I hate images that are marked as .bin

[elfin mural]

accord meanwhile

[mortal grail]

I swear

Honda is doing a bmw rn

That grille keeps growing

But I'd look way better in that than a camry

[elfin mural]

anyway

[mortal grail]

Camry is just, car

[elfin mural]

i sleep

[opaque sedge]

I found the thread for the 3grand midrange pc build lol

https://www.reddit.com/r/lianli/s/n7AVeyvFZr

[elfin mural]

i prefer accord too

better interior

[mortal grail]

Accord has at least a little novelty to it

Neither of which compare to german cars but anw

thai market accord

[opaque sedge]

Istg pc builds have started to become like luxury brands, just expensive with no real quality

[mortal grail]

Wth is that grille

Le egh

[elfin mural]

idk either

[mortal grail]

I bought a wafer stick for muh dash

[elfin mural]

but at least it's a simple interior

[opaque sedge]

The new refreshed hondas all have it

[elfin mural]

anyway i sleep

[mortal grail]

Check out muh wafer stick

[opaque sedge]

The passport doesn’t i think

[elfin mural]

nite

[opaque sedge]

Tho

[mortal grail]

That immediately turned me off type r

I'm instantly turned off lmao

[opaque sedge]

The honda passport doesn’t i rhink and its got a v6 too i believe

[elfin mural]

acura tlx type-s?

type r but less ugly interior

wait it's integra

[mortal grail]

Hm

[elfin mural]

mb

[opaque sedge]

Yup 3.5 liter v6

[mortal grail]

Oh integra I dig

[opaque sedge]

Honda engines are so good

[opaque sedge]

Still has those honeycomb vents

[elfin mural]

https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ_P8ttJUXJ1Z1CLC5P7XQOy4-yxKA_1eFYRKAJCGLmRuueJ1W2sEzcfxA&s=10

nope

there's none

[opaque sedge]

With nipples for fan blade contols

[mortal grail]

Wtf clean

[elfin mural]

there is a lil bit

[opaque sedge]

Oh damn

[elfin mural]

but

yes

[mortal grail]

Acceptable

[opaque sedge]

Wait i’m blind

Still dont like the nipples tho

[mortal grail]

It doesn't look like a chocolate wafer stick

[elfin mural]

acceptable

[mortal grail]

I can live with nipples

Take that out of context pls

[opaque sedge]

Pretty sure you would be insecure as a teen without them

[elfin mural]

integra type s

[opaque sedge]

Is nippleless even a thing

[mortal grail]

Bruh you could have half an eyebrow missing and you'd die internally as a teen

[rough zinc]

You finally accept my advances?

Let’s goooo

[mortal grail]

💀

[opaque sedge]

Ok so apparently some people who have had gyno surgery have had their nipples fall out

[mortal grail]

I really kinda dig it ngl

[opaque sedge]

Oh god this is horrifying 😭

[elfin mural]

ok i dip nao

gone fr

[rough zinc]

Looks like a civic with a 💩body kit

[mortal grail]

Mod leaving as we get into sussy stuff

[opaque sedge]

Its biology

[mortal grail]

Bruh yours looks like a forester with a car bra

[opaque sedge]

Like my health ed teacher said

[opaque sedge]

Looks like a impreza

Well it is based on it

[mortal grail]

Ya a liberty with plastic chip protection

[rough zinc]

Oh hell naw, forester that lost weight

Get it right

[mortal grail]

Stripped down to the car bra sure

That plastic is not a pull 💀

I've always felt that way since subaru went "modern" after 2012

[rough zinc]

Nah the plastic is kinda hype

[mortal grail]

You know what's a nice car

2006 outback

[rough zinc]

Mercedes C350

[mortal grail]

Why did they ruin it

C350 sure, in the right year

C63 black more

[rough zinc]

Nah it looks like a damn bug

[mortal grail]

Ya but it worked

That thing was excellent off road

More durable ass impreza fr

Idk why they stopped it

Like the mitsubishi magna

Those things were fantastic

I forgot the american name

What was it called

[rough zinc]

That’s a AUS only iirc

[mortal grail]

Verada?

No they had a worldwide version

Not verada

Dammit what was it again

The worldwide version was mid but the magna was a TANK 💀

Still one of the most common cars in AU yet they stopped producing them 20 years ago

Oh my god

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

It did go to america

Wtf

AMAZING

DIAMANTE

[rancid juniper]

Man I want to drive a car

Have my license but no car

[mortal grail]

GALANT

[rancid juniper]

[mortal grail]

@rough zinc I'm thinking of galant

That thing was mid

[rough zinc]

Buy an old mirage and throw it around

[mortal grail]

Mirages are tanks as well

[rancid juniper]

🤔

[mortal grail]

Old lancers, magnas/diamantes, mirages

They're all built like they'd die when they only burn

Pajeros tanky af too

Don't seem to die

Idk why people don't buy mitsu more often, they're cheap cars but they don't bloody die lmfao

[rancid juniper]

Since you kept saying that my PC nfs game was a mobile game

It actually happened: https://youtu.be/jW9DUh4F1tE?si=ycuCuHHnX0OCkzr8

@rough zinc

[mortal grail]

Man, hot pursuit was it

The 6th one now?

[mortal grail]

Can they come up with a new name pls so I can tell the difference

[proud jackal]

[rancid juniper]

Latest hot pursuit I know is remastered

[mortal grail]

You mean the 2010 one

[rancid juniper]

Yea

[mortal grail]

That ran without issues cos it was made properly underneath in a year where cutting corners wasn't so bad

That hot pursuit yes

[rancid juniper]

Sheesh

[mortal grail]

Idk man gaming sucks nowadays

Lol

[rancid juniper]

Criterion was on a hot plate during the 2010s

[mortal grail]

Ya

Well back then it was treated as the burnout revival it tried to be

And kinda pulled it off

[rancid juniper]

NFSMW 2012

Heh

[mortal grail]

I respect it as the only nfs that was acceptably arcade

The ones that followed were meh

[opaque sedge]

what type of cooler brand is this? 250w with a single tower heatsink seems like a big claim

[rancid juniper]

Arcade racing games, what's that?

💀

[mortal grail]

Tdp is an empty claim

[opaque sedge]

damn

[mortal grail]

A610 is good but you can claim 600w on a threadripper in the right circumstances

[rancid juniper]

At this point tdp doesn't matter anymore as the hot square sand things pull too much

[mortal grail]

It's just a number

[opaque sedge]

alright felix off the top of your what type of cooler for 7800x3d

[mortal grail]

Tiny hot sand fall apart intel make ones and zeros

[mortal grail]

Solid single tower

[rancid juniper]

Lol

[mortal grail]

Thermalright >>>>

[rancid juniper]

Wait wait wait... Single??? Not dual???

Send me a link

[mortal grail]

Why dual

Dual is overkill

Dual for 2ccd

[rancid juniper]

I thought the 7800x3d was hot

Unless I'm mistaking it for 5800x3d

[mortal grail]

Ya but it's only hot within itself

[opaque sedge]

dual has good temps tho apparently mine rivals aio temps

[mortal grail]

It pulls no power

[opaque sedge]

240mm ones ofc

[mortal grail]

Yes it does

[rancid juniper]

Send link to that single tower bro

Or say model

[opaque sedge]

assasin king phantom spirit

[mortal grail]

Oh idk most of all thermalright singles are good

[opaque sedge]

bunch\

[mortal grail]

Assassin spirit v2 plus

Try that

[rancid juniper]

I'm running a phantom spirit (dual tower) and my 13600k decides to still behave like a heater

[mortal grail]

Yes cos intel actually pulls power

[rough zinc]

Custom loop

[rancid juniper]

Bintel

[mortal grail]

I really need a bot prompt to explain why x3d doesn't need as much cooling as people think

[opaque sedge]

we're cooling a cpu not a supernova star known as intel

[rancid juniper]

Lmao

[velvet summit]

Bruh my brain
Was about to google something but forgot what the hell I was wondering about

[rough zinc]

But 5800x3d = sun, 7800x3d is bigger number so 7800x3d = more sun

[mortal grail]

The copper vcache layer and ihs withhold all the heat @rancid juniper , that's the tl;dr

5800x3d was hot

[rancid juniper]

Oh...

[mortal grail]

I agree, that did like a bigger cooler

[opaque sedge]

hmm mines stays around 70c even at 70-80% util in cyberpunk and apparently cyberpunk is a rather cpu heavy game now

[mortal grail]

But 7800x3d, and similarly it appears to be for 9000 series, are actually quite cool

7800x3d holds it all in, and emits very little

[rough zinc]

Just get a 13900k and you get a double purpose as a room heater

[opaque sedge]

most i ever saw it hit was 73 but immediately dropped to 68

[mortal grail]

V-cache conducts and traps it all

[opaque sedge]

my 7900xt does that already

[rancid juniper]

Intel is terrible for the summer

[mortal grail]

And ihs being 4mm thick makes it tough af to move that heat out

[rough zinc]

Skill issue

[rancid juniper]

Bruh

[mortal grail]

So the cooler itself doesn't really matter much for 7800x3d

You can put it on a wraith prism box cooler and get custom loop numbers

[opaque sedge]

so is my amd card can barely play games unless its midnight with two oscillating fans

[mortal grail]

And no that's not a joke

It really does work that way

[rough zinc]

My 13900k nice and cool, 50C under load

Me like

My room don’t like

[rancid juniper]

And I thought my hot ah 238w 7800xt was pushing all that heat

[mortal grail]

Bar maybe a percent or two performance difference

Buildzoid has a great video for this

[opaque sedge]

bro has a laptop chip

jk

[rough zinc]

Yo Felix, you seem like you fish?

[rancid juniper]

Bro did hackery to make sure his 13900k doesn't degrade

[rough zinc]

What lure should I throw out

[velvet summit]

Laptop chip would be like 120c

[mortal grail]

AM5 is funny in the way that adding custom loop does nothing if it's not a 7950x

[opaque sedge]

laptop chip in a desktop i mean

[rough zinc]

Actually setting power limits is good

Literally the only fix you need for crashing

[opaque sedge]

yk the rog mini pc which has mobile components

[rough zinc]

Set the stock PL1 and PL2 to 273w and 0 issues

[velvet summit]

[rancid juniper]

The average Intel user doesn't like that

[mortal grail]

MUH MT PERF NOOOO !1!!1

[rancid juniper]

If my laptop peaked at 85-90c during gaming I'd be happy af

[opaque sedge]

Is it bad my system temps are almost as much as a laptop with a cooling pad 💀

[high star]

actually had a friend whose game kept crashing and he went "bro its only 101"

[rancid juniper]

XD

[mortal grail]

That's just what x3d is

[velvet summit]

No

[mortal grail]

It'll get that hot no matter what you throw at it for cooling

[rough zinc]

Cooling pads are also plain out bad

[mortal grail]

^

[velvet summit]

Throw ln2 frfr

[opaque sedge]

I had a fan directly pointed at the mesh front for this

[rancid juniper]

I mean these chips are made to withstand high temperatures

[mortal grail]

^

[opaque sedge]

5c improvement

[mortal grail]

Cold bug is horrible on am5

[velvet summit]

Oh

[opaque sedge]

Gave up on getting more fans after this current priority is a better monitor

[velvet summit]

What is a fan blowing at the mesh front supposed to achieve

[opaque sedge]

Praying oleds will be available for 500

[mortal grail]

If 7800x3d spent it's life at 87C then it probably would end up all the same as if it was at 60C that whole time

[rough zinc]

Just get some industrial deltas and say goodbye to heat

[rancid juniper]

💀

[opaque sedge]

So the fan is in front of the ac vent so its sending cold air to the pc

[velvet summit]

Aren't there $300 OLED monitors

[rancid juniper]

Ye

[opaque sedge]

Wut

[mortal grail]

Lowest they've been for the good ones is 580 iirc

[opaque sedge]

Yup

[mortal grail]

Qled

[rancid juniper]

Qled?

Quality LED?

[velvet summit]

I don't pay attention to the monitor market

[rancid juniper]

Same

[mortal grail]

Unless there's now a 144hz for 300

[opaque sedge]

Are they good for gaming?

[mortal grail]

Quantum dot led

[mortal grail]

It's like

[rancid juniper]

Can it display quantum physics?

[velvet summit]

Well, neither do I pay attention to the PC market but whatever

[mortal grail]

Think oled but 96% of that

And with no drawbacks

[opaque sedge]

Yoo wut

[rancid juniper]

Close

Enough

[mortal grail]

And normal latency

Not oled latency

[velvet summit]

Oh I was talking like 60hz or smth like that

[rancid juniper]

So it's a balanced panel

That's not bad

[rough zinc]

Blacks aren’t as good in qled but doesn’t matter if it’s just for gaming

[mortal grail]

It's like, the best compromise to not oled

[opaque sedge]

How does it compare to ips?

[mortal grail]

Better

Way better

[rancid juniper]

Then someday I'll upgrade my VA panel then

[opaque sedge]

What do u recommend

[mortal grail]

There's an msi QD for under 300 that's good

[velvet summit]

As a practically not a gamer, regular monitors for like content creation feels no different asides from colour accuracy for me LMFAO

[mortal grail]

If you're not chasing that 0.1% then yeah

Qled is great

But oled is a step up still

And yeah, colour and latency on oled get a massive improvement

Over anything else

[opaque sedge]

this one?https://www.bestbuy.com/site/msi-mag-274qrf-qd-e2-27-qhd-180hz-1ms-quantum-dot-gaming-monitor-with-hdr400-displayport-hdmi-usb-c-black/6572172.p?skuId=6572172&utm_source=feed&ref=212&loc=18419691557&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwqf20BhBwEiwAt7dtdSEvLPAP5ezo_XMuzDWGgYzGQxn2nUMJUF1zFALuxJKvDpCnmqUCExoC_PgQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

[mortal grail]

Yeah it might be

[opaque sedge]

Wut no embed

[mortal grail]

If it's not curved then yeah

[opaque sedge]

Is it still ips?

[mortal grail]

E2 tho, I don't have any reviews for E2

[rancid juniper]

Curved monitors belongs to VA

Ehehehehhe

[mortal grail]

Some models are so check that

[idle nexus]

confirmed lol https://www.techradar.com/computing/windows/secret-trick-installs-windows-11-without-the-bloatware-but-microsoft-is-looking-to-fix-it

[mortal grail]

Ips qled is nice

[craggy shoal]

lol yep. I do it all the time

[rancid juniper]

IPS QLED combo?

🤨

[opaque sedge]

Looks like its rapid ips or smth

[mortal grail]

Yeah that looks like one of them

[idle nexus]

8/7/2023 article tho so might be fixed by now who knows

[mortal grail]

Gone soon but still able to be bypassed

[idle nexus]

they should call it English (United States) or English (the Queen's English) lol

or wait maybe it's king now? I haven't paid attention ngl. Who's the monarch in England rn?

[mortal grail]

Pato is

[rough zinc]

Pato

[idle nexus]

I want Australian one. Make computer call me a bloke plz

[mortal grail]

@wind quail you guys took england right

[idle nexus]

my Ventoy Win11 iso doesn't wanna work

tried wimboot mode, TPM clear, regular mode, nothing

so now I'm suffering thru this atrocity

[opaque sedge]

Whats the backlight bleed like on qleds?

[idle nexus]

oh btw I have yet another reason that EK is my favorite brand ever best brand <333

[mortal grail]

Tell me more

[idle nexus]

or did I moan about this to you already lol

oh okay

[mortal grail]

Way better than standard ips

[idle nexus]

these craptastic things come loose over time because they're not put in with locktite or anything

[mortal grail]

LMAO

[idle nexus]

last time one was loose, this time two including the original one

[mortal grail]

Hahahahaha

[idle nexus]

I tightened them with channellocks

like I thought I'd break the block tight

or strip the threads at least

[mortal grail]

They fr unthreaded??

[rough zinc]

You are so unlucky with EK, only issue I had with EK was Powercolors liquid devil block

[idle nexus]

this is how the PCB look where they didn't come loose

annnnnnnnd this is how it looked where they did come loose

let me put that in perspective more cuz it's a bit zoomed out

[mortal grail]

Wtf happened to the thermal pad

Wait

WAIT

METAL SHAVINGS??

[idle nexus]

it rips up the copper

[mortal grail]

Wait just a god damn minute

[idle nexus]

when you remove them

[mortal grail]

WTF

Holy hell

[opaque sedge]

Crap i can see them now too

[rough zinc]

Mmm extra flavor

[mortal grail]

That's really bad 💀💀💀💀

[idle nexus]

because the super tight screws have to spin around to loosen the weaker attachment (the first picture on the block)

[mortal grail]

Like, they shouldn't sell this, levels of bad

[idle nexus]

since the other option is never take the card apart again

[mortal grail]

That's unbelievably bad

Loose shavings is bad news

[idle nexus]

well at least they were able to save .01 Slovenia Wampum Minecraft Coins per card not putting adhesive

[rough zinc]

Have yall seen the my EK liquid devil block? Literally all the nickel plating came off of it

[mortal grail]

I never saw that

Wth

[rough zinc]

That’s all exposed copper

[mortal grail]

Lmfao

[wind quail]

Yeah

It's ours now

[idle nexus]

lol I hate EK. I hate EK so much.

damn I should make a timeline

[rough zinc]

Lol people were trying to say, yeah no mixed metals or some other stuff

[mortal grail]

No that's rust

I have rust on my block now

[rough zinc]

Yeah

[mortal grail]

I know what that looks like and it's rust

[wind quail]

you can automate the process with a github file

https://github.com/AveYo/MediaCreationTool.bat @idle nexus

[mortal grail]

(Small specks I need to clean btw)

[wind quail]

does everything for you

[idle nexus]

I already drafted a (so far) three-page letter for EK back in April that I never finished

maybe it's time

I should include pictures. I have pictures

[opaque sedge]

Am4 looks like hell ngl

[mortal grail]

I mean I still like their aios but that's all I think I'll ever say about EK from now on

[idle nexus]

that happened to me before lmao

[rough zinc]

I still love how most of my loop is still EK after everything

[opaque sedge]

The am5 socket with the latch is called lga right?

[mortal grail]

I don't think you realise just how common this is

Yes

[rough zinc]

Only thing that ain’t EK is my GPU block and rads

[mortal grail]

Lga vs pga

[opaque sedge]

Did intel ever use pga?

[rough zinc]

PGA is great

I love golf

[idle nexus]

I think I removed all personal info from it. It starts off well but needs work imo

[mortal grail]

Me too I love golf, in that right @craggy shoal

[sweet phoenix]

Something I find funny about the Intel shenanigans going on

[opaque sedge]

Jesus you must be mad frustrated to write your experience out

[sweet phoenix]

I've been going CRAZY trying to figure out what's been wrong with my pc

[idle nexus]

heck I already found a typo in the second paragraph

[sweet phoenix]

Literally this

[rough zinc]

Damn I am a middle aged white guy, main hobbies are cars, golf and fishing

[mortal grail]

I've been along with him for half the ride

He's had horrendous experiences

The direct die I think was the worst

Just plain bad

[rough zinc]

Actually nah, that’s just being a frat guy

[rough zinc]

Oh god not the DD block

[opaque sedge]

Dont become self aware abt ur age otherwise u might have a midlife crisis

[mortal grail]

The block was the worst

[opaque sedge]

I pointed out to my high school teacher once he was middle aged at 45 he took a break for the week

[high star]

midlife crises only come to people who have things to crise about

[mortal grail]

Ggood sanded that thing way down, still bad

[sweet phoenix]

I feel middle aged at 18

[high star]

real

[opaque sedge]

Unsatisfied spouse?

[high star]

lol

[sweet phoenix]

Both pain wise and how much life sucks

[rough zinc]

Quarter life

[mortal grail]

First time?

[rough zinc]

Lol I’m only 20

[opaque sedge]

Its probably worse if they’re hot 💀

[opaque sedge]

And ur not

[high star]

i think my life might be peaking soon

[idle nexus]

lol my frat guy hobbies were parties, girls, & gym

& some Mario Kart

[sweet phoenix]

That's too heavy for this server mb

[high star]

let it out bro

[mortal grail]

I missed it

[high star]

just remember there are at least 3 dozen nons here lurking
