general-chat

[proud jackal]

did

[chrome mirage]

I've heard of it but not played it

[dusk knot]

https://youtu.be/kF-0q042Jjk?si=YbT09PUiyWoWghDK watch this. It’s amazing

[chrome mirage]

Looks awful on my Alienware HDR 600 monitor but great on my cheap TCL TV

[dusk knot]

If it's not OLED, it's not worth watching lol

[proud jackal]

how do i make windows more oled friendly so i dont get burn in

[dusk knot]

Well ...

[proud jackal]

[dusk knot]

Depends on the screen

[chrome mirage]

The local dimming zones on my TV do an amazing job but the ones on my monitor are so huge that they are extremely distracting

[dusk knot]

Remove task bar

Or make it hide when not in use. No need to baby it.

Just make sure you use it for all sorts of content.

The pixel cleaning subroutines are really good

[storm narwhal]

oled monitor should also have pixel care stuff

[proud jackal]

time to use black background and delete all desktop icons

[storm narwhal]

probably turn em on lol

[dusk knot]

All of them

[dusk knot]

You don't have to

[proud jackal]

they are already on

[chrome mirage]

Quantum dots are super vibrant. This $500 CAD TV from 3 years ago looks amazing

[storm narwhal]

use wallpaper engine

boom ez

[dusk knot]

Nice.

[storm narwhal]

QLED is great

[hot pumice]

just set as wallpaper in stretched

ez no burnin

[proud jackal]

woled is so nice

the text is so crisp

[storm narwhal]

burn in my brain instead

yes

[dusk knot]

Burn in is greatly exaggerated.. just enjoy the sceeen

[storm narwhal]

yeah, especially since the monitor isn't like, the first wave of OLED panels

[dusk knot]

Yeah

That was over a decade ago

[storm narwhal]

first wave could still have some burn-in concerns

[chrome mirage]

The local dimming zones do pretty good on this TV too

[elfin mural]

don't get the edge lit qled tho

[dusk knot]

Nive

[elfin mural]

they toast themselves to death

[storm narwhal]

ah good to know

[proud jackal]

i turned uniform brightness on

[chrome mirage]

$360 usd

[proud jackal]

[storm narwhal]

how do i tell if it's edge lit if i don't look at it

[elfin mural]

and their reflector sheets warp

specs

only way to know

[sinful blade]

https://tenor.com/view/you-know-how-long-waiting-for-this-channing-tatum-gambit-deadpool3-gif-6843989149509159972

[elfin mural]

we're repeating ccfl failures with leds somehow with edge lit tech

it's stupid

the leds burn out from heat

[chrome mirage]

HDR wasn't even working with that video.

[elfin mural]

also cracking light guide panels

[fervent stump]

meow~

[dusk knot]

How

[chrome mirage]

I think my Xbox was using that HDR conversion

[proud jackal]

oled monitors are truely the future uwu

[dusk knot]

Welcome to the club

[proud jackal]

brain projectors come in 2 years

[dusk knot]

Doubt

[proud jackal]

i have an oled tv

[dusk knot]

Technology is slow

[dusk knot]

How's the brightness btw?

[proud jackal]

good

[dusk knot]

I now have 3 devices that have OLED. I can't go back

😩

TV is next

Maybe when it gets better on the brightness department

So far only the iPad pro M4 has a perfect OLED screen

[chrome mirage]

Apparently the TVs tcl has released since mine have been nowhere near the price to performance

[dusk knot]

How old is your TV?

What model?

[chrome mirage]

I think it's 3 years old

It's a TCL 50S535-CA

[proud jackal]

i just learned winkey+left-alt+b turns on and off hdr

[chrome mirage]

My TV will be 4 years old in August

[chrome mirage]

I was using that shortcut for a while but now it's broken and doesn't work anymore

[dusk knot]

Great screen, only suffers from not being bright

[chrome mirage]

I live in a basement so it's not a problem

[dusk knot]

Living in darkness

Good

[tranquil pebble]

I have a window taller than some rooms. It lets a crap ton of light into my apartment

[dusk knot]

Don't have that sun to bother you hahah

[tranquil pebble]

Reason for it is this apartment is a section of what used to be a school

[chrome mirage]

I watched a ton of reviews before buying it and the local dimming was better than the more expensive version and it had lower latency. Only downside is it's a little darker

[tranquil pebble]

404 armor not found

[dusk knot]

That's how it's done..nice

[tranquil pebble]

I just bought something random when I got a TV lol. Happened to be a good one, but I don't think I will be playing roulette with my next purchases

[chrome mirage]

Over the last 4 years I've gotten a bit picky with my displays and audio with my main issue being money.

[proud jackal]

alright

time to just use this monitor for anime

[storm narwhal]

time to use this great oled panel for discord

[chrome mirage]

I prefer watching anime on a CRT

[misty sparrow]

Ctrl+Win+Shift+Alt+L is also a useful shortcut

i think i'll need it actually

[proud jackal]

shift+ctrl+winkey+alt + L

do it

[misty sparrow]

sorry, linux

cant show you right now

[light egret]

I'm not on PC someone do it and tell me what it do

[chrome mirage]

@dusk knot I'm drinking JP whiskey right now

[dusk knot]

Japanese whisky?

I'm not much of an alcohol guy

💀

[chrome mirage]

No it's Canadian

[dusk knot]

Nvm then

40 percent oof

[chrome mirage]

$90

Big oof

[storm narwhal]

damn

[dusk knot]

You ever drink it for special occasions?

Or just actually shug down $90 lol

[chrome mirage]

I usually drink the original $40 version but I got curious the other day about the aged versions

[dusk knot]

How is it in comparison?

[misty sparrow]

||It opens LinkedIn. If you ever wanna casually suggest to someone they should get a job, tell them to press those keys||

[chrome mirage]

It's a little better but not $50 worth better

[dusk knot]

Stronger? Sweeter?

[light egret]

Oh I shoulda known that one lol

[chrome mirage]

Sweeter and when you adjust to the taste you pick up some interesting notes. I'm no expert though.

[sinful blade]

I don’t think I’ve ever used LinkedIn

[north crescent]

Thing is, is it even "better" due to age or diff ingredients?

(not a believer in aged stuff lol)

[nocturne flicker]

It does what the heck

[chrome mirage]

It might be a bit of both. I know a lot of reviewers say that you can get way better aged stuff for cheaper

[nocturne flicker]

Who spent the time assigning something like that and why

[storm narwhal]

some intern worked at microsoft

[north crescent]

Lot of other random stuff. Mostly o365 things iirc. Cant really remember all the things

[storm narwhal]

and needed something to submit

[nocturne flicker]

Poor unpaid intern. They took his work and told him to go home and use it himself

[chrome mirage]

This whiskey is more of something you would give your dad to make him feel fancy then an actual well made whiskey

[north crescent]

Maybe. I saw one rando say this is how (old) keyboards with special keys in opening word and such worked.

I have no proof of said stuff tho. Just one rando on the internet.

So take with one atom of a grain of salt

[nocturne flicker]

I am a believer in aged stuff. Aged cheese

Aged cheddar good

[north crescent]

Well most alcohol is overpriced as heck, so not surprising.

[chrome mirage]

Especially in Canada where they put a ton of taxes on it

[nocturne flicker]

Except the cheap stuff all tastes like plastic. Need Cabot

[north crescent]

Okay but cheese is actually good and cool. Old man cheese > old man alcohol

[chrome mirage]

My friend was telling me about a good whiskey that should be $30 and here it was $120

[north crescent]

They in Ontario, where LCBO is the only thing that is allowed to sell stuff?

Thus have 100% control over prices

[chrome mirage]

That might be changing soon. LCBO was just on strike because the government was trying to change the rules

I paid $10 for a beer yesterday at a local brewery.

[north crescent]

I almost never drink so I have literally no concept of how good/bad that price is

[chrome mirage]

It's very bad but I'm supporting a local business so I'm ok with paying it

[north crescent]

Ah, I see

[dusk knot]

An interesting one time experience

I wouldn't spend that much on a drink

[chrome mirage]

I bought a bottle for my dad so the unedited version was still accurate

[sinful blade]

Customer told me he bought this for his build

How many feet away from his build should I tell him to get

[chrome mirage]

He should keep it under his chair

He will learn quicker that way

[fervent stump]

I think I’m going to be staring at my pc more then I’m playing games

[chrome mirage]

That's what I do

[fervent stump]

Is there a difference between the 4080s and 4090 strix (looks wise)

Yea I like the colors

[chrome mirage]

I don't know. I'm a Radeon guy

[fervent stump]

Ohh ok

[opaque sedge]

They both thicc

[chrome mirage]

4090 is probably bigger

[opaque sedge]

Depends on the aib too for example the tuf and rog ones

[sinful blade]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-silly-boom-explosion-flabbergaster-gif-17414861278238654650

[fervent stump]

I’m talking about the strix one

[opaque sedge]

Oh the 4090 shroud is def bigger

[fervent stump]

By much?

[opaque sedge]

The design language should be the same tho

[chrome mirage]

One of the best side quests in video games

[opaque sedge]

Hmm strange the height dont look right to me

[fervent stump]

Woah

[opaque sedge]

Gimme a sec

[fervent stump]

Thsts a big difference tho

[opaque sedge]

Length and width should be accurate tho

Strange either my perception of size is wrong or the height dimension is wrong there is no way those cards are only 1/10th of an inch thick

[fervent stump]

It’s fine just mainly wanted length

But that’s a big difference I think

[chrome mirage]

My car looked extra shiny today

[opaque sedge]

Is that 5090ti path tracing?

[proud jackal]

time to redl valorant and blame my loss on hardware

[opaque sedge]

Nah u should go internet first

[chrome mirage]

The Canada expansion just has better textures

[opaque sedge]

Damn I thought volumetric fog wasn’t an useful setting

[craggy shoal]

I belt y'alls' servers doesn't have RGB

man Discord compresses images heavily

[chrome mirage]

Mine had a 2080Ti for a while

[craggy shoal]

damb bruh for what?

AI?

[chrome mirage]

For video output so I could adjust some settings

[opaque sedge]

I dont even have a server I borrow ones from big data centers (prolly)

[craggy shoal]

I don't trust companies with my data lol. So I made my own OneDrive (Nextcloud)

[storm narwhal]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogtrkO1iqFU

Oh boy

[opaque sedge]

Also did amd release new cpus? Apparently they come with the prism

[storm narwhal]

Here we go again lmao

[opaque sedge]

Sue these nuts onyo chin

F forgot to use deez

[storm narwhal]

Bro tryna silence coffezilla with the lawsuit

[opaque sedge]

[craggy shoal]

bruh I'm about to put Linux on my PS4

[storm narwhal]

Real

[misty sparrow]

didnt SomeOrdinaryGamers do that lol

[craggy shoal]

probably

[misty sparrow]

im pretty sure he said it didn't run games well

[craggy shoal]

A PS4 for gaming? You're crazy. I'm going to self host services with it

[opaque sedge]

Reminds me I actually found my old psvita

Couldn’t find the charger tho

And the game cards either

Used to have 4 games for it i think i stopped using it when it got stick drift

[craggy shoal]

Or I might just jailbreak my PS4

[dusk knot]

Ancient technology

[craggy shoal]

a whole decade old

[opaque sedge]

Lego lotr was the most fun rpg i ever played (well only rpg like game back then for me)

I think imma get a steam deck or smth, for the handheld memories once smth new and good comes out

[nocturne flicker]

Was it different from the console version or was it a more pepeg version of it?

[opaque sedge]

I believe it was the same one the ps3 had

[nocturne flicker]

Oh really?

[opaque sedge]

It was this

Also was available in the app store once

A longggg time ago

[nocturne flicker]

I know what Lego LOTR was, I just didn't know if it maintained the open world aspect the console games had or if it was like the more limited DS versions

Lego always did a cutdown version for DS

[opaque sedge]

Hmm I remember having to explore different areas and also a mode where i could play as characters who didn’t appear directly in the story but were mentioned

[fervent stump]

What are your guesses on the 5090 price?

[opaque sedge]

Msrp’s prolly gonna be irrelevant

Add 3 hundies to msrp

[nocturne flicker]

The console versions literally had an open world map you'd walk around to get to the various missions and had smaller versions of the major places. You started in the Shire iirc

The Hornburg was tiny in the open world

[opaque sedge]

Damn wth I remember having to go through loading screens to get into different areas

[proud jackal]

1080p stretched on 32" is horrendous

[nocturne flicker]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cZuZSN8Ad70

[proud jackal]

Sage more like sa8ebit

[nocturne flicker]

This was the hub world

Sorta like how console Lego HP had Hogwarts and Diagon Ally to explore for a hub world but DS Lego HP just had the hub as a single room with doorways iirc

I don't remember many loading screens for Lego LotR when walking but that could just be my memory being bleh

[opaque sedge]

Yh my version was def more cut down than this i dont remember it being soo huge

[craggy shoal]

Probably gonna get Lego HP and play it for the first time with my gf now that we're talking about Lego games

[nocturne flicker]

There is two of them

[craggy shoal]

They make this and I have a PS4 that I plan to give to my gf. Super ideal for me, more ideal than getting it on PC

[misty sparrow]

perfect

get it

[craggy shoal]

Going to for sure

[misty sparrow]

i got it for free off PS Plus and i've only played for a lil bit, but it's fun

maybe seven hours?

[craggy shoal]

PS Plus is about to get Lego Star Wars: Skywalker Saga

The newest one

Tomorrow I think

But she's not into Star Wars :(

[misty sparrow]

if you are, get it for yourself lol

[craggy shoal]

Oh I for sure am

[nocturne flicker]

Oh yeah, that is right, they did a remaster of the Lego HP games

For consoles and not PC

[craggy shoal]

She loves Harry Potter so this will be perfect

[misty sparrow]

she'd also love the ps4 so its a literal two-in-one package

more than perfect

[craggy shoal]

True

Although she doesn't have much time to play games other than when she gets bored on the weekends

[misty sparrow]

hey

it also doubles as a movie player

https://tenor.com/view/think-about-it-use-your-brain-use-the-brain-think-brain-gif-7914082

[craggy shoal]

Heck yes

I also have a Plex server for that lol

Hate it when people ping me for tech support

I've already been freed. Don't ask me lmao

[tranquil pebble]

I ping myself for tech support

[misty sparrow]

I would use Plex for my media

but have no idea how to use it

[last mango]

Speaking of consoles

Getting a 3tb XSS

For just $150 dollars

Gonna see if I can trade up to Xbox series X and save some money using Pro membership

Used to have ps5 as glorified DVD player

[craggy shoal]

It's the easiest server application I've used

[misty sparrow]

well

i just don't know much about setting up servers

or where i'd get the stuff to do it

[craggy shoal]

Even easier than setting up Plex

Servers are cheap. I have like two servers running that I’ve bought with my own money

And two more that I’ve gotten from previous jobs (both OptiPlexes, one of them aren't mentioned in the link in my bio though)

[misty sparrow]

the only thing i've used as a server is a raspberry pi

but for plex don't think it's enough

[random osprey]

havent really looked at any of their mice really but i think its the m2 or m4 that i heard was pretty decent

[atomic mist]

https://www.keychron.com/products/lemokey-g1-wireless-mouse if you’re interested

[random osprey]

$69 exact, nice

[last mango]

8k polling rate jeez

Got the m6 wireless mouse myself

nice battery life

and it turns off after 10 minutes automatically to save battery life which is neat.

[atomic mist]

That’s pretty neat

They just randomly dropped this alternative gaming brand name lemokey with cheaper then usual stuff they have a 75% keeb and that mouse so far

The 75% is like $100

[last mango]

I haven't plugged it to recharge yet, last time I charged it was about 2 weeks ago.

But I also have another mouse for fps use that gets used often

[proud jackal]

new monitor didnt make me better at shooters

[craggy shoal]

Nah you need like a modern i3 for that (not really. You could easily get away with a Ryzen 2200G, as I’ve done in the past)

[proud jackal]

[craggy shoal]

What monitor? :0

[proud jackal]

pg32udcp

[craggy shoal]

Bruh that thing is expensive

[last mango]

Holy chrome

Asus tax lol

I've got oled monitor also but $700 for it

Wait.

4k 240hz capability?

Or FHD 480hz that's crazy

[craggy shoal]

Plus it's OLED so it's straight eye candy

My car is worth like two of those

Maybe three. Don't wanna push my luck though

[dusk knot]

Anime ofc

[dusk knot]

[random osprey]

cant see difference because p[hone picture, you should buy me that monitor so i can see the difference in person

[dusk knot]

This

[last mango]

Blud spent $1.2k to just watch anime in eye candy colors

[random osprey]

anbd in 4k

[last mango]

Kek

I like your pfp

[dusk knot]

Anime the way it was meant to be

[modern imp]

For plex just get a modern entry level Intel cpu that has an igpu

Let QSV accelerate it

12100 works fine

Even N100 works surprisingly well

[dusk knot]

Have you tried 480hz?

Can you survive with the 1080p?

[proud jackal]

im old, even with all my hardware advantages i cant hang with the youngin's reaction time anymore

[dusk knot]

Stop being old

Duh

[random osprey]

time for unc to spend his days on cs surf servers 😔

[proud jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/bocchi-bocchitherock-hitori-gotou-ぼっちざろっく-anime-gif-26895033

[atomic mist]

Theo go buy the keychron 8k polling mouse guaranteed to make you better at shooters

[proud jackal]

i have 8k polling mouse already

[atomic mist]

It’s trash clearly since it didn’t make you a god

[last mango]

Roasted

[proud jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/bocchi-bocchitherock-hitori-gotou-ぼっちざろっく-anime-gif-26895032

[atomic mist]

Fine I’ll go buy it and see if it’s any good since no1 wants to guinea pig it

[random osprey]

i only got 1 hand rn, so cant be buying mice or mousepads

[nocturne flicker]

I will buy and use it to play HoI 4

Lost a hand

[craggy shoal]

Six hours of sleep here I come 🙃

[atomic mist]

Make it 5 and you’ve got a deal

[last mango]

Ha

Went to 10hr work shift with 4 hours of sleep.

Made it

But at cost of brain running on fumes.

[modest belfry]

Ez to do when we start work at 6AM or earlier

[last mango]

I start at 7:30am

[misty sparrow]

whoever recommended me a G305 yesterday is onto something

this thing looks really good (on the stuff i'm looking at)

[fervent stump]

More then me lucky

[elfin mural]

g305 is a decent mouse

it's been out there for years but

it's still a very valid choice

[last mango]

Anyone subscribe to gamestop pro?

and is it worth it?

[elfin mural]

I doubt it's worth it

[last mango]

Im thinking to do it cause I will have XSS with 3tb storage and then go to Gamestop and trade it in and get store credit. Gamestop Pro apparantly gives u 10% extra trade credit

then get the XSX bit cheaper that way

Refurbished probably.

there's also $5 welcome credit i can use it immediately. lol nvrm if you buy the gamestop membership right away it uses $5 welcome credit.

[pseudo raven]

i would unironically pay like $100

[misty sparrow]

yeah well i'm looking at the site, colors look nice

just lookin for a replacement to my basilisk x hyperspeed lmao

it looks like a good choice

[elfin mural]

you can run that mouse basically forever without having to charge it

get a lithium ion rechargeable battery

ones with a usb port

im saying this cuz this is what i did with mine lmao

[storm narwhal]

G305 is a good mouse

just ghub is the only issue

[storm narwhal]

just do a comparison with other places you can do trade ins

subscription is part of the cost they take out, probably equivalent to 10% of the trade credit

[elfin mural]

you can still use LGS

besides

imo mouse software is useless

if the mouse already has memory of its settings

i just run the software once, set everything i want/need

uninstall

then it stays with that mouse forever

[storm narwhal]

I think the g305 can store up to like 3 profiles?

and i guess yeah, you can just kinda set one profile and use that for everything, rebind the game controls instead

[elfin mural]

yeah

it barely has any buttons anyway lol

only 3 auxiliary buttons

the rest is your right and left click

[storm narwhal]

that's also exactly why i need the software tbh lol

I always use a second layer for more mouse buttons

[elfin mural]

then LGS

it still works

despite being unupdated since 2022

[atomic mist]

Selling point on the keychron, software is just a webpage

[elfin mural]

same for wooting

[storm narwhal]

it works tho

no weirdness no nothing

[wary fjord]

what u mean

like its uses electron?

[atomic mist]

I mean I guess it’s on the site selling it

[wary fjord]

its common now a days to do it due to no ui restriction

ui is everything xD

• electron runs under v8.. v8 under the hood is c++

[wary fjord]

and u can call c++ function in v8

if u embed it yourself

[wary fjord]

yeah thats fine just ui what matters is the back end

if they do their job or nah xD

i guess the driver is listening to a webhook

[atomic mist]

Ooo 5 profiles

[wary fjord]

if something change on your settings

it reflect on your system

[atomic mist]

👀

[wary fjord]

i need cheap chinese keeb that replicate t hose keeb with pre installed Snap-Tap/ Null bindings xD

they will sell it under 30-40 bucks with same damn function

[fervent stump]

Is there a difference between the models?

[chrome mirage]

The dumpster at work hasn't been emptied in a month and it's full of diapers

[gray kelp]

I downloaded this app called Bios from the Gigabite website to get it updated…

It said It will reset PC and it did, but PC wont start anymore lol!

I can load first Auorus logo screen and then it resets...

I can get to bios tho, but that's it. Any thoughts please?

[wind quail]

Same model, top ones just a 3 pack

[wary fjord]

how did u do it

why bios is an "app"

did u update it via software?

[gray kelp]

Yeah… the last update was from like 2017 and so I thought maybe they moved to the app since it was from this year.

[wary fjord]

thats a red flag

never use software to update bios

maybe try to revert to older bios that works make sure that bios is for yoiur mobo.. i mean ur mobo is smart enough to chew out the bios if it scan which bios that belongs too

[storm narwhal]

You're going to have to go into more detail

An app?

[gray kelp]

I dont even know how because all I can get to is just

[storm narwhal]

Send the link

Through your phone

[gray kelp]

Ok let me find it

[wary fjord]

aslong u can still boot to bios xD u still have hope.. follow segue instruction

[gray kelp]

https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/Z370-AORUS-Gaming-7-rev-10/support#support-dl

[storm narwhal]

How did you go about the update?

Put the zip file in a thumb drive, plugged it into the rear io, booted into bios, used qflash to update the bios?

[gray kelp]

I just selected my motherboard from the list (only one there), I selected to make backup, and started.

[fervent stump]

Oh alright

[gray kelp]

The app was doing it on its own once I started the process. Pc froze while it was working and then it was “reading” and when it was done it set 10 sec timer for reset

[storm narwhal]

Okay I have no idea what @BIOS even is

It does tell you to have app center installed first

Did you have that installed beforehand?

[gray kelp]

Yeah :/

Is there a way to reset bios?😀

[storm narwhal]

Yep

One sec

[craggy shoal]

https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=how+to+reset+bios

[wary fjord]

[if no flash back]
usb fat32 + otg phone/laptop + bios of your mobos choice + ez flash equavalent on your mobo + select your usb there and select the bios there. then follow the screen

[gray kelp]

Thank you I'll give it a shot!

[wary fjord]

the only time i encounter pc not booting to windows but only bios.. is when my friends pc after updating the bios.. the boot mode is not legacy anymore hes windows is on legacy still

its set to uefi after the bios update

[storm narwhal]

Ah I think it's corrupted the one it tried to install

[wary fjord]

makes it so it wont boot on windows anymore

[fervent stump]

:(

[craggy shoal]

What

Just Google it

[fervent stump]

That site

[craggy shoal]

I’ve learned whole topics just by Googling. And I’m an idiot. No reason anybody else can't

[fervent stump]

[craggy shoal]

Yeah

[fervent stump]

Me too

[wary fjord]

theres a tier list of being idiot tho

[storm narwhal]

@gray kelp

My data freaked out lol

But yeah learning to solve issues like this by googling is good

[craggy shoal]

Man I hope I get my car back soon. I need a haircut

[storm narwhal]

Read the manual

Always your first step

RTFM

Before anything else

[craggy shoal]

Also, if I’m googling for someone, I’m not about to link the first article I see, hence the "Let Me Google That For You" links lol

[storm narwhal]

Real

[wary fjord]

non tech people reading technical manual they dont know what they reading are xD

[storm narwhal]

I feel like it's basic reading comprehension though lol

You don't know a word? Look it up!

Add keywords and phrases to narrow down your search etc

[wary fjord]

depends on the person brain

[gray kelp]

Thanks yall lol.
Tbh I wasn't even sure what I was looking for lol. I was playing a game and it kept crashing (in a specific way), so I googled it and people said update bios. I saw the latest update was in 2019 which was incongruent with what I read online, ended up with bios app and chaos 😂 and panic of course!

[wary fjord]

xD

[gray kelp]

Imma try fix it later, it's 5 am for mee

[storm narwhal]

The @BIOS app downloads it through the utility and requires a constant internet connection

[craggy shoal]

damb bruh. Which CPU?

[wary fjord]

yeah give it a rest ur pc wont run

[storm narwhal]

dumb and unsafe method of doing it

Way increases the risk of corruption

[wary fjord]

software go pfff

[gray kelp]

Intel Core i7-8700K

[wary fjord]

every mobo should have a dual bios xD

[storm narwhal]

Thankfully this one does

[craggy shoal]

Interesting

[storm narwhal]

Cmos reset should kick it back to the last version

[wary fjord]

theres some bios failed update where it doesnt even show a sign of life

xD

[craggy shoal]

That works properly* sometimes it doesn't work right lol

[gray kelp]

Iam saving up for a new pc here. Is there a specific period when its the best to get one? Or just whenever

[wary fjord]

nice

[storm narwhal]

Whenever

[craggy shoal]

I mean now is an okay time. Just go all AMD if you want to save. AMD GPUs aren't as bad anymore

[storm narwhal]

Look at the market when you have enough money

But right now is fine also yeah

[wary fjord]

intel better

[storm narwhal]

Better at dying

[craggy shoal]

Bro have you been under a rock?

I need to update my BIOS 🙃

[wary fjord]

apperently u can use github to build your software xD its unli if your project is public but deym its been 2 hours this building process still not done

[storm narwhal]

Intel Oxidation Inside

[wary fjord]

im building llvm 20 i wanna test it xD

[craggy shoal]

Though my PC has been running fine. Also don't have the money for upgrades if my (Houston) power goes out, also given that I’m about to have to pay for car repairs :/

[wary fjord]

$689 u can buy xbox on that 😦

[gray kelp]

So if the last update for my mobo is from 2019, that's it then?

[wary fjord]

for now

thats it

it depends on them if they feeling lucky xD

[gray kelp]

☠️

[wary fjord]

they are focus on newer ones probably.. developing bios is a tidius task

its like developing kernel.. u cant make no mistake

so it takes time for new bios to comes out

[elfin mural]

2019 is a long time

And on non enterprise boards

They will only support boards for as long as they deem necessary/have to maintain

[wary fjord]

im just trying to balance xD the game so many people swiching to amd now.

[wary fjord]

most of it just vuln fix

i hate when they dont really put the actual change log

sometimes their changelog is like design for us to interpret what it means

[craggy shoal]

Don't bother trying to balance. People are switching with reason

The Deterioration Special

[fervent stump]

Huh

I’d waste all my money on that

[devout forum]

The 13900K degrades
And the 4090 will depreciate

[fervent stump]

I’d prefer the 7800x3d but that computer looks nice

[devout forum]

I'm not one for a white build

I don't hate them, but I personally wouldn't do one for anything other than show

It gets dusty so quickly

I already can't deal with my glass side panel getting fingerprints I'd go insane trying to keep an all white build clean

[fervent stump]

I wouldn’t mind cleaning it

[devout forum]

I mean

That's personal preference

I'd rather have a PC that needs little to no internal maintenance

A dusting every 6 months

[fervent stump]

Yea I get it

[devout forum]

Reinstall Windows and repaste every year

That's the sort of computer I prefer

[fervent stump]

Wdym reinstall windows

[devout forum]

I tend to do a full reinstall of Windows every year to avoid it getting overly bloated

[fervent stump]

Oh ok

[plain stone]

hi folks newbie 'programmer' here, why am i getting a space before my exclamation point?

[devout forum]

It's probably not necessary but it's a ritual for me at this point
Peace of mind even if it uses up my SSD

[plain stone]

prof said we'll be using python as the language for our major but idk what code editor we will be using, figured it might be pycharm so i went with that

[fervent stump]

Whatever do you have to do on your computer to maintain it?

[plain stone]

I usually just delete my files every few weeks or months

[devout forum]

It's not mandatory to reinstall windows every year

I just tend to anyway

[plain stone]

i put less-used files onto a folder and overtime i'll eventually delete said folder unless i look through it again to double check

[fervent stump]

Alright

[devout forum]

Anyhow

My mentality is less downtime, more sh*tposts

I know for a fact I'd get flagged if I didn't censor that

is that not a desktop icon lol

[devout forum]

Sure looks like one

[surreal kernel]

bro i updated my pc and it switched to this lmao

[devout forum]

Hol'up

[plain stone]

what

[devout forum]

I just got an idea

I don't think Intel changing their naming scheme is a coincidence

[devout forum]

I'm pretty sure they announced that in like 2022

[fervent stump]

Once you first turn on a computer you built do you think it’s hard to set up?

[devout forum]

Not really

It's just a little tedious for me because I like my computer in a specific way

Building it I feel is way more scary

Especially if you don't have the ability to easily just buy a replacement part if you screw up in the process

But even building it isn't that bad

Just gotta follow procedure and it SHOULD go smooth

[fervent stump]

I’m excited for that part but worried I won’t have enough plugs for my fans

[devout forum]

It's pretty much adult lego

[devout forum]

Splitters exist

You can have like 3 fans on a PWM header no problem

[fervent stump]

I’m getting 10 fans

[devout forum]

That's 9 fans even for a basic-tier board with 3 headers

And 2 of those goes to the CPU and CPU_OPT headers

[devout forum]

With or without the cooler?

Cuz often less is more with fans

[fervent stump]

Replacing the fans on my aio when I get it

[devout forum]

At least in terms of performance/$ as well as maintenance (and sometimes outright performance)

[devout forum]

What AIO is it?

[fervent stump]

I want one of these though

[devout forum]

I assume you want to replace them to match fans already in your case?

[devout forum]

Also those are

Very mid for those ridiculous prices

Arctic Liquid Freezer 3 is better performance for less money

[fervent stump]

Yea

[devout forum]

NZXT fans rn?

Cuz

[fervent stump]

I’m not getting nzxt

[fervent stump]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NXsmbL don’t mind the 2 ssd

[devout forum]

Okay so how attached are you to AIOs?

[rough zinc]

Very

[fervent stump]

Shhhhh

[fervent stump]

A lot

[devout forum]

Because you can almost cool a 7800X3D by just blowing on them with your mouth

[rough zinc]

Don’t bother trying to change her mind, she’s dead set on this list

[devout forum]

I'm only exaggerating a little bit there

[rough zinc]

Took 2 days to convince her to not get a 4090 just to say she has a 4090

[devout forum]

I'm not going to comment on that

I'd be unnecessarily mean and probably get a warning for it

[fervent stump]

I don’t have one?

[rough zinc]

If you want decent fans these are really solid https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-P12-PWM-PST-Pressure-optimised/dp/B081VPP24C/ref=asc_df_B081VPP24C/

[devout forum]

They're pretty much best price to perf

[fervent stump]

Are the fans I picked any good?

[devout forum]

And you can daisy chain so no need for splitters

And you can go with an LF3 and have the same fans

[rough zinc]

What fans did you pick?

[fervent stump]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NXsmbL

Forget the 2 ssd

[rough zinc]

Oh yeah those are solid

[devout forum]

I mean yeah C12C is good

It's honestly the high point of the list

[fervent stump]

Is the list good?

[devout forum]

The one thing I wouldn't dump on if I didn't restrain myself

[devout forum]

It's a solid B- for me

[fervent stump]

:c

[devout forum]

Lots of places where you can spend less to get more

[rough zinc]

Didn’t I give you a different PSU to get?

[fervent stump]

It’s a A- for me

[devout forum]

But it's at least not awful

[rough zinc]

And ram is too fast

[devout forum]

I have seen
A lot of awful parts lists in my life

[rough zinc]

Unless AMD can run faster ram these days

[devout forum]

Not yet

Maybe Ryzen 9000 will

But 6400 is the max you really can
6000 is probably gonna be faster in games cuz lower latency

6400 requires a good controller IIRC

[fervent stump]

So I should get 32 and not 48?

[devout forum]

It's not the capacity (though I do think 32 is technically better for the controller)

And you can downclock it if you're having issues

[elfin mural]

48gb is also odd

[devout forum]

It's the new 24gb sticks

[elfin mural]

weird crossover between less perf and more capacity

[devout forum]

Ye

32 is ideal rn

64 won't run the high speeds

48 is just
Wack

[rough zinc]

48 is the way to go?

[devout forum]

Anyhow

[devout forum]

It depends on what speeds it's gonna be stable at

[rough zinc]

Same performance as 32 but more capacity

[devout forum]

If it can't do 6000 reliably
Not worth

[rough zinc]

H24M is lighter on the IMC than H16M

[fervent stump]

Lemme redo the list wait which of the 2 ssd should I get

[rough zinc]

You’re consistently able to do higher speeds with 24Gb sticks than 16gb

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/d797KX

[devout forum]

Like sure the sticks can do it
But if your CPU has a worse controller it'll suck

[rough zinc]

Nope

[devout forum]

P44 Pro is slightly better perf

Both are fine tho

[rough zinc]

24Gb sticks are easier for cpu controllers to run

[fervent stump]

So 24 or 16?

[rough zinc]

If your controller can’t handle H24M trying to do 6000, normal 16Gb sticks have an even worse shot

[devout forum]

So then why would 32gb sticks be worse than 16?

[rough zinc]

24

[devout forum]

By that logic
More is better

[rough zinc]

32Gb are dual rank H16M dies

[devout forum]

And it's been shown that's not the case
Consistently so

[rough zinc]

It’s two completely different dies

H24M is a lot easier on the controller to handle than older H16M/A DDR5

[fervent stump]

Teamgroup or what brand?

[rough zinc]

Personal experience experimenting with both, at 32Gb on my 13900k maxed out at 7400MT/s stably, swapped out the kits for a 48Gb kit and maxed out at 8000MT/s same CPU/mobo

[rough zinc]

Yeah teamgroup is solid

[fervent stump]

:D

[rough zinc]

Only thing is if you get a higher speed kit like 7000+ you’re going to have to manually adjust things

[fervent stump]

Idk how

[rough zinc]

If not then I’d just find a 32Gb kit that says AMD EXPO on it

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/YVfxFT/gskill-trident-z5-neo-rgb-48-gb-2-x-24-gb-ddr5-6400-cl32-memory-f5-6400j3239f24gx2-tz5nrw

This should work

[devout forum]

Intel works very differently with memory

You literally can't draw conclusions for AMD if you test Intel

[rough zinc]

I’ve seen the same results from other people on AMD platforms

[devout forum]

I've seen the complete opposite

Outright non-functionality in all but a select few boards

It literally can't get stable unless you run JEDEC specs
Which is just crippling

[rough zinc]

How tf

[devout forum]

If it works it could be great

Most of the time doesn't actually work

[rough zinc]

If both sticks are rated at 6000, both should work without issue if the platform can support 6000MT/s, if not you did something wrong 99% of the time

[devout forum]

6400 CL32 rated 48gb kit refusing anything higher than 5600 CL40

And being hit and miss at that lower speed

It's wack

[rough zinc]

Did you actually spend time dialing in voltages?

[devout forum]

And it's not just one CPU

[devout forum]

"Did you actually spend time dialing in voltages" dude 5 minutes after saying if it's rated at the speed it's the user's fault it doesn't

Like by your own logic, 32gb sticks should be vastly superior to 16gb sticks

When we already know they're not

They don't run the same speeds even when rated for

At least on AMD

[rough zinc]

Never said 32Gb sticks run better

[fervent stump]

Oki

[devout forum]

Intel's memory compatibility might be great but their chips grenade themselves so that's a bust

[fervent stump]

I’ll look around too

[rough zinc]

Also never said to go buy Intel

[devout forum]

My guy you were the one saying "It worked for me on Intel so it has to work on AMD"

[rough zinc]

There’s more going on with 24Gb sticks than just the capacity itself

I’ve seen countless cases on them working better on AMD but okay only work with Intel

[fervent stump]

Which is better for my build?

[fervent stump]

I plan on playing beamng in 4k and stuff so that’s why I’m looking into the ram

Maybe on vr too

[elfin mural]

32/48 is good

[rough zinc]

I’d go for the 32Gb kit just because its almost $100 cheaper

And you won’t have to tinker with it

Setting up a manual overclock takes a bit of time

[elfin mural]

^

[fervent stump]

I don’t know how to overclock or anything

[elfin mural]

that's why you should get 32

[rough zinc]

XMP/EXPO is also an overclock but all that is is turning an option on in settings

If you get anything above 6000/6400 you’re guaranteed to have to do it yourself

I will say it’s fun and honestly fairly simple but it takes a while making sure it’s stable

[sinful blade]

What in the

I want this gpu just for that look lmao

[fervent stump]

Ok then I will

I just also want to future proof what I am making

[elfin mural]

wacky old gpu designs

no shroud

just heatsink decorations

[fervent stump]

What are your thoughts on the strix 40 cards

[elfin mural]

overpriced

[rough zinc]

Really good for overclocking, waste of money if you’re not planning on overclocking

[fervent stump]

I don’t really care about overclocking but I want the cheap looking rgb

[paper verge]

that rgb is not cheap[

dude i see you here every day talking about rgbs and building a pc

why dont you actually start doing something

like idk maybe get a pc?

[young matrix]

The rgb is practically nonexistent

If you want rgb get a ftw3 30 series

[fervent stump]

Maybe because I need to continue working up for the money?

[fervent stump]

It kinda looks cheap but I like it

[fervent stump]

I really like it though

[young matrix]

Womp womp

[paper verge]

pay an electriction to hook it up

[fervent stump]

And your going to continue seeing me till I own the computer

[sinful blade]

Wish they’d bring them back

[empty tide]

No. Everything must become a brick of copper and rgb
that was sarcasm if it wasn't obvious

[fervent stump]

Not doing that I’m just getting the strix card

Easier and looks better

[fervent stump]

Rgb is the reason I’m building a computer

And the looks

[empty tide]

Didn't mean to say bad about rgb, I'm just mocking GPU design boiling down to rectangle with some added rgb

Granted with how much beat these things make nowadays there's no room for wacky designs I guess

[elfin mural]

yeah

that's modern gpus

flavors of rectangle

[empty tide]

It's kinda like modern cars

[fervent stump]

It could be better but it’s the best card I can get with rgb

[empty tide]

Does all white LEDs count as rgb? Im used to sunshine lollypops and rainbows everywhere

[fervent stump]

I think so it’s color

[elfin mural]

it is rgb if the fans are rgb

[fervent stump]

It can be changed remember

[elfin mural]

i just don't understand the point of

setting rgb to white

[fervent stump]

How come

[fervent stump]

Oh

[rough zinc]

Get all white build, no RGB needed

[elfin mural]

i mean i do it on my laptop lmao but it's because i hate other colors

my laptop's rgb is sucky

but i need it to see wasd keys

[fervent stump]

White

[elfin mural]

they're transparent because gamuh aesthetics

[fervent stump]

Mine will either be white or light blue

[elfin mural]

asus prime 💀

[fervent stump]

And pink

[velvet summit]

no such thing as future proofing

in computing

[elfin mural]

the worst z790 board

[fervent stump]

:c

[elfin mural]

i also spotted some nasty gpu sag

it's leaning to the right, that strix

[fervent stump]

I don’t like how the ram is so much brighter

[velvet summit]

the most effective way to spend your money on computers is buying midrange and upgrading like the gpu or cpu every once in a while

[rough zinc]

waterblock the GPU, don’t have to worry about sag if there ain’t no weight

[sinful blade]

That’s gonna get that gpu rma’d in a month

[velvet summit]

watch as they crack the die

[paper verge]

dumb idea

rather put the gpu on top of the case

[fervent stump]

How come not high end and update later

[paper verge]

[velvet summit]

because price to performance value is the best in the midrange components; not the high end or low end

[elfin mural]

yep

[fervent stump]

Right now how long do you think a high end build would last

[paper verge]

you can take the nzxt path with asrock components and white heatsinks

[rough zinc]

It won’t be high end next launch cycle

[velvet summit]

how long would a high end build remain high end? like 2 years

[opaque sedge]

Omg i was saying it might touch 15 for giggles but it might actually go there 💀

[velvet summit]

how long would it remain functional for everything? same as how long midrange would, and even low end technically

[elfin mural]

^

[paper verge]

can i have the honours? 🙂

[fervent stump]

So a 4080s will be low end one day?

[velvet summit]

well, that would be a long time

probably in 6 years

[paper verge]

dude even a 1080 isnt low end

ok maybe a tad

[opaque sedge]

Might be less cuz the perf gains from last gen hardware has been brutal for example a 7900xt currently a midrange card can beat the goddamn 3090ti

[paper verge]

bro how tf is a 7900xt a midrange card

💀

[velvet summit]

i would consider the 7900xt a high end card

lmao

[opaque sedge]

Can get it for 650 on a really good sale

690 usually

On launch

[empty tide]

I thought the 3/4060ti was mid end ;-;

[velvet summit]

medium high end

[opaque sedge]

Yh lets not go there

[paper verge]

not even that

midrange is like 580xt

[elfin mural]

describing something high end or low end is subjective

[velvet summit]

true

[empty tide]

Rx580?

[elfin mural]

there's like no set rule

[fervent stump]

A 5090 is low end

[velvet summit]

it's more like, relatively speaking compared to the current market

[elfin mural]

tho with the extremes like 4090

ya

[paper verge]

i mean midrange then you gotta consider laptop gpus aswell

[elfin mural]

a high end gpu from 2008 would be paltry right now

[fervent stump]

How long would that card stay “good” or high end

[opaque sedge]

Paltry? More like poverty

[elfin mural]

idk, 3090 got topped by 7900 gre so

[velvet summit]

4090 will probably stay top dog for another few months

[opaque sedge]

Oh yh the gre can certainly be considered mid range

[elfin mural]

but even so the 3090 is still good

just not top end anymore

[paper verge]

bro you guys have crazy standards

[elfin mural]

it was the top dog at its time

[opaque sedge]

It seems to really depend on how the latest gen brutalizes the current gen hardware

[elfin mural]

im speaking relative to the day it launched

because you can say a GTX 290 is high end

but look at it now

[fervent stump]

When the 50 series comes out I’m going to have to see if I should still get the 4080S or like a 5080S depending on the prices

[velvet summit]

objectively speaking, the 3090 is no longer the best gpu
it's not a bad gpu currently, but a 3090 is no longer a "flex"

[rough zinc]

5080S will be a good bit more expensive than a 4080S

[paper verge]

if flex is important for you, you gotta change your lifestyle every goddamn day

[velvet summit]

looks at theo

[fervent stump]

Do you have a guess or a idea I don’t have much of an idea about the price

[paper verge]

its not like the 5080s is gonna drop with the rest of the 5000 series

[opaque sedge]

Over a grand def, and nvidia released their super or ti cards later i believe

[fervent stump]

I don’t even know what I typed at first

[fervent stump]

Alright

So I should get a 5080

[paper verge]

ok if you actually want the most highend components in your pc

wait 10 years just for them not to be high end the next day

[fervent stump]

I’m cooking Dw

[paper verge]

you are not 💀

[fervent stump]

Trust

[opaque sedge]

Depends on the price performance or if ur gonna need the pc for your livelihood too, cuz there were people who got the 4070tis which is a pretty bad deal for gaming considering the 7900xt can be had for under 700, for work or productivity cuz they didn’t wanna go over a grand for a gpu

[paper verge]

you could technically get any gpu for free

😉

[fervent stump]

Yea I get it honestly I don’t mind spending however much much on it the problem is working for it. I’d get a 4090 but it’s to expensive so I went to the next card below

[paper verge]

the power of the ski mask

[sinful blade]

4080 super

[elfin mural]

i think all i need in a pc is xx60 perf tier

i don't give a damn about rt because all devs implement it HORRIBLY

[sinful blade]

I just want my 2080ti and I’ll be happy

[fervent stump]

Ray tracing is pointless to me

[elfin mural]

frame gen is nice, but amd does that even better

[elfin mural]

afmf2 works on any games

[proud jackal]

@dusk knot

[opaque sedge]

Black myth wukong is abt to come out soon right? Looks like they’re abt to make rt a main selling point for it too

[paper verge]

tbh you gotta give it to them, they are bunch of over-worked low-paid guys with corporate expecting them to make alien level games in a matter of year, and combine that and you get a mess

[elfin mural]

i know, i can't blame em

[paper verge]

also designers are always the craziest people in the world

[elfin mural]

i blame the corpos

[opaque sedge]

Foxy boutto become johnny silverhand

[fervent stump]

How long does it normally take for the strix cards to come out

[elfin mural]

instantly

[fervent stump]

And won’t the 5000 strix be a bit different

[fervent stump]

Oh alright

[elfin mural]

it's asus' top end

[paper verge]

strix cards are just waist of money

[fervent stump]

SHHHH

[paper verge]

like bro i'd even argue if you have the time and the money on hand (less than the actual strix card)

you could do a better job than them

[fervent stump]

Strix cards are the best

Rgb

[opaque sedge]

Can’t believe i immediately started mourning for evga

[elfin mural]

all the api optimizations aren't utilized properly these days thanks to overworked devs being forced to push out mid games with tight deadlines

[velvet summit]

skill issue

[opaque sedge]

Game standards seem to be pretty high nowadays, cyberpunk apparently took a decade to come out right? And took another half to become good

[elfin mural]

that's why we have all this frankly cool, but perhaps redundant tech like upscaling and frame generation

[opaque sedge]

We should make this an emote

[elfin mural]

upscaling is cool regardless of usage tho

[outer junco]

I'm about to buy a CPU cooler, any promo codes?

[elfin mural]

in some cases, upscaling improves graphical fidelity

api optimizations. bro what

[opaque sedge]

Wouldn’t work ig cuz the pic is dark and would be pretty ineligible as a small emote

[dusk knot]

Looooll

[paper verge]

optimization is the last thing any corp would give a damn abotu

[opaque sedge]

I’m so glad i muted the lianli subreddit

[elfin mural]

that's exactly what im pointing at

[fervent stump]

It’s so bad

It’s to tall

[elfin mural]

optimization is a lost art of game dev

because these days

[opaque sedge]

Look at the kind of crap they pull there, this dude upgraded his aesthetics before the damn gpu

[paper verge]

its a lost art of every development

[elfin mural]

you can shove a game onto steam with reqs of like

4080 for 1080p

[fervent stump]

I’m building the best aesthetics and high end at the same time not one before the other

[paper verge]

heck as i dev the last thing i wanna do is look at the crap some dude wrote at 2am and try and optimize

[fervent stump]

I don’t like it >:(

[opaque sedge]

Lol have you seen the recommended specs on some games with the crazy cpu and gpu combinations

[elfin mural]

fair enough

[velvet summit]

not really? though it's as rare as like a golden goose nowadays

[velvet summit]

it doesnt have skid marks

[opaque sedge]

I dont get it

[velvet summit]

cleanest gaming chair i've seen

[opaque sedge]

👁️👄👁️

[fervent stump]

Ew

[opaque sedge]

By skid marks you mean the latrine type of skid marks?

👁️👄👁️

[velvet summit]

perhaps

[fervent stump]

So ugly

[opaque sedge]

👁️👄👁️

I—

[paper verge]

from a dev perspective its not fun and from corp its cheaper to over work happier devs cuz atleast they do something new

[opaque sedge]

Looks like muting the lianli sub wasn’t enough

[fervent stump]

Putting this on my aio and making it white

[velvet summit]

there are some devs that make hyper optimized code for fun lol

but yeah due to cost cutting, most commercial applications are not optimized anymore

not as many hardware limitations

[paper verge]

the only 2 situation when i've ever seen it is with that 5 words 5 letters/or parsing 1 billion lines of whatever. and it was a challenge so devs (i presume most of which were completely new to this) tried to optimize

reading someone elses code is not fun

[opaque sedge]

A johnny silverhand quote

[fervent stump]

Is it easy to change your aio picture

[velvet summit]

depends on the aio

[fervent stump]

Have you seen the one im getting?

[velvet summit]

no

[fervent stump]

Oh let me find it

[chrome mirage]

Why do anime companies not let me give them money so I can watch their show.

[velvet summit]

real

not even just anime companies

i want to watch kitchen nightmares

but i cant watch it without a tv subscription

[chrome mirage]

There's a couple shows that I had to buy versions that are for a different region and I had to rip the files to watch it.

[opaque sedge]

Idk maybe the corpos are tryna centralize the entertainment industry

[fervent stump]

Do you think it’s easier to change it on the nzxt aio? (Non elite)

[velvet summit]

no idea

[opaque sedge]

Damn cooler with those digi screens look really damn cool ngl

Shame they’re so expensive

[chrome mirage]

I think they are just trying to make me go back to pirating since half the stuff I want to watch is on Hulu only and I don't have a US credit card or address

[opaque sedge]

If i could drop over 150 bucks on a cooler might as well have gotten a 4080s

Feel me yall

[velvet summit]

me with a nh d15

[opaque sedge]

That 100 buck fancy air cooler?

[velvet summit]

the cooler with the best mounting system frfr

[paper verge]

bro thats amd coolers

[opaque sedge]

Looks uglier than my cheap thermalright dont know abt the performance tho, since its noctua must be pretty damn good

[paper verge]

oh it was a joke

[fervent stump]

I love the screen

[velvet summit]

half joke ig

[paper verge]

not the best fs

[opaque sedge]

Still very expensive for a really small dinky lcd

[paper verge]

i find it funny how smaller audio companies do better than the big dogs

[velvet summit]

also yeah it's not the best performance air cooler anymore

[paper verge]

like hows that even possible

[velvet summit]

wdym

[fervent stump]

Hisssss it says the time

[velvet summit]

?
