chat can we get a fact check on this guy

[misty sparrow]

oh hell no we got another bread man in here?

[slender citrus]

For some reason Verizon doesn’t do that with iPhones anymore for some reason

[storm narwhal]

fails miserably

[misty sparrow]

but that's my role

i'm supposed to be the bread guy

[nocturne flicker]

Should've taken the card out yourself and put it in

[slender citrus]

You are the bread roll guy. I’m the garlic bread god. We both are respectful gentlemen

[misty sparrow]

fair enough

[lone mango]

Dude thats bananas. POGU man

[wraith fern]

[storm narwhal]

Try not to use brainrot challenge (impossible)

[nocturne flicker]

Pretty sure Verizon puts sim cards in the phones they sell themselves, but maybe

[slender citrus]

I don’t know. That’s what they told me is that they can’t transfer SIM cards for some reason

[storm narwhal]

The fact that people are just like yeah e-sims are better

Nuh uh

[slender citrus]

Isn’t that just iCloud?

[storm narwhal]

Yuck

Also no

[slender citrus]

Well they both ain’t good

[storm narwhal]

Mmhm

[nocturne flicker]

Visible never sent me my SIM card

[storm narwhal]

But what about invisible

[nocturne flicker]

Just like the sim card they sent

[storm narwhal]

HAHA

Fr

But yeah I'll stick with my dual sim phone thanks

Which again, if there's still dual sim phones there's no reason you can't have an SD card slot instead

[tranquil pebble]

my phone is triple sim, two physical and one esim

[misty sparrow]

remember when the sim card slot also had a microsd card slot

[storm narwhal]

No clue if I can do esim

I don't think I can

[misty sparrow]

we're getting older goddamn

[lone mango]

Image stays when you close your eyes typa stuff

[storm narwhal]

That's not what they mean when they said burn in

Pls

[lone mango]

Burn in but real life

[storm narwhal]

Me after looking at the sun

[tranquil pebble]

the sun is basically just a never ending nuclear explosion

[elfin mural]

ackshually it's image retention

[chrome mirage]

I got another friend request from an account pretending to be my grandma. She passed away 2 years ago.

[elfin mural]

jeez

stupid scammers

[tranquil pebble]

They didn't even try to copy her profile picture this time. They are getting lazy

Just found out Xbox sells controllers with basically no warranty via their design lab thing

literally only 90 days

[devout forum]

Cuz it's custom stuff

It's for rich people who have more money than care in the world

Like one of those costs 120 euros (iirc ~150 bucks) before shipping @tranquil pebble

[storm narwhal]

I'll get a Gulikit King Kong Pro 2 instead thank you

Plus with Xtremerate stuff for customization

Why buy a stupid custom one from Xbox directly?

[tranquil pebble]

I bought one of these fancy Elite 2 controllers out of sheer curiosity and I would not do it again. I will use this until it it is no longer useful though.

[devout forum]

I mean it is pretty good

I used one before, and it felt exceptional for those 40 minutes that I got to use it

But c'mon

[tranquil pebble]

oh dont get me wrong I love mine

but the price is absurd

[devout forum]

It's just too bloody expensive
Especially the ultra-customized ones

You can get an Elite 2 set in black for like 80 bucks with a year warranty

But that's still pricey

[tranquil pebble]

Xbox in general is too expensive for storage and controllers

[misty sparrow]

to be fair they ARE bleeding money with Xbox

they gotta find some way to make the money

[devout forum]

But I dare say
Xbox controllers are better than PS ones in general (for me anyway)

[tranquil pebble]

yeah I agree

[devout forum]

Didn't try the PS5 controller yet tbf

[misty sparrow]

i like both

[tranquil pebble]

its pretty meh

[devout forum]

With that touch surface (game implementation might be awesome)

[misty sparrow]

but as a playstation guy, i will say this

i wish playstation controllers had at least a fraction of the designs Xbox controllers get

[tranquil pebble]

battery life especially is trash on PS controller

[devout forum]

Oof

[misty sparrow]

i think it's 10 hours when i use it

not wrong

[devout forum]

NGL I'd normally use my controller wired with a PC anyway so battery life is less of a concern for me

Cuz there is a lot of reasons to have a PC

But controllers are the highlight of the console experience to me

[tranquil pebble]

I felt less ripped off buying a fumo than I would buying an Xbox storage expansion

[devout forum]

IIRC any M.2 NVME SSDs work?

Like you don't have to buy the Microsoft seal ones right?

[tranquil pebble]

that's only PS

on xbox you have to buy a licensed one

[devout forum]

Massive bruh moment

[misty sparrow]

if we said this in you know where we would probably get lynched right on the spot

[tranquil pebble]

yeah ik. I feel like that Discord is uh a little too supportive of Microsoft but I guess its only natural given that it is official

[misty sparrow]

on the other hand, i like that the storage expansion installation is really easy

all you have to do is put it in like an sd card

[tranquil pebble]

its a glorified memory card

albeit nvme based

[misty sparrow]

but the prices are so stupidly high compared to ssds in similar performance ranges

[tranquil pebble]

$90 for 512 GB

[misty sparrow]

2TB is i think more than $200

[tranquil pebble]

fortunately I don't need them

but if I did I'd be pretty mad

[misty sparrow]

thank god

these consoles have really gone downhill nowadays

[tranquil pebble]

so have PC ports... hell gaming in general has

[misty sparrow]

at least there is nothing stopping us from going back to the old days

enjoying the older games

we did get some wins in the past few years

[tranquil pebble]

used to be hyped for releases and now its just hoping the release even works

[misty sparrow]

what's ironic about this statement, the same people who will complain about how broken games are and say they hate the company who made them

will immediately proceed to preorder the next game once trailers have dropped

[tranquil pebble]

for me a lot of that has come out of Atlus

[tranquil pebble]

that's not me I gave up on preorders

Atlus rn is the only company I preorder from and I'll stop immediately if they ever deliver garbage port on launch

but so far their worst port has been better than some company's best

[misty sparrow]

don't really know much about them

except that they're the company behind persona

[devout forum]

I've only been tempted to preorder a single game in the last 5 years

But even that I'm waiting on

And that game's Space Marine 2

(I played the first one so much you might as well call me Demetrian)

[misty sparrow]

never preordered a game, but if i did it would probably be gta 6

[lone mango]

I lost interest

They took too long

Im gonna be out of college before gta 6 comes out

We starting careers before gta 6

[misty sparrow]

hey to be fair they did Gen Z a solid by waiting until they turned 17+ to legally buy the game without parental permission

just like cyberpunk 2077

[lone mango]

We got 6 ghz before gta 6

[misty sparrow]

we got 2 new valve games before gta 6

[lone mango]

Wow

[misty sparrow]

hl:a and deadlock (will release soon, hopefully before gta6)

dont think cs2 counts

[lone mango]

Who said it was ok to cope like this

[lone mango]

[misty sparrow]

i did

https://tenor.com/view/wolverine-explosion-walk-away-gif-8390072

[lone mango]

Looks like upgraded gta 5 but i haven’t finished watching all the leaks

[misty sparrow]

well to be honest if you went in expecting a big jump like with GTA:SA to GTA4 you're probably gonna be disappointed

[lone mango]

Well since gta 5 came out like 12 years ago yeah

[misty sparrow]

i cant believe gta5 came out first for xbox 360 and ps3

good lord

they must've had to limit the game because the hardware would've held it back

9th gen consoles hopefully won't provide as much of a limit so i'm excited to see what they can do on the hardware

[serene nacelle]

hello

[tranquil pebble]

is there any danger in flashing the wrong bios for a mobo on purpose? Specifically any danger outside of bricking the board (I have one that can be reflashed basically no matter what)

Specifically I was wanting to try flashing the BIOS of a newer revision of my mobo to try to get more features.

but if it can cause hardware damage I would rather not mess with that... nonworking BIOS would be a non issue

[storm narwhal]

I think it's just bricking the board?

[elfin mural]

it will only brick the board

but in rare cases it can even brick the rom chip

that will require some soldering work to replace the chip

also i don't recc flashing another revision vios

it's very risky

if you know how to read hex, you can actually add/subtract features

but that is also not easy

shoving a whole different bios from a different revision is very risky

[tranquil pebble]

i will avoid doing that then

[wary fjord]

"on purpose" xD

but why

also mobo now adays are smart

they can read the header of that bios

if it dint match ur mobo it will reject it

unless u use software to update ur bios

software seems doesnt care what bios u shoving on your board

[tranquil pebble]

it would be a why not if hw damage were out of the question but apparently it isnt so

[wary fjord]

ur bios is like the smallest os ur board can run

its so minimalistic

that if u f up that

u wont boot att all

xD

[tranquil pebble]

I have a BMC and other recovery options

I can literally reflash from my phone

[wary fjord]

ow we talking phone

[tranquil pebble]

no

desktop pc that can be remotely flashed

it has ipmi in it

[wary fjord]

i dont trust that xD

even if it work i dont trust that method

[tranquil pebble]

I dont blame you but in my case it is not exposed outside of a lan

and it does work

[wary fjord]

its hard to debug why it fail sometimes even tho its successfully installed

[tranquil pebble]

ig that depends on the board

[wary fjord]

yeah thats those it works it works xD

[tranquil pebble]

on mine I would get an error code if the flash failed

[proud jackal]

[remote geode]

would a flip from an i5 11600k to an i9 11600f be worth it

gonna get 2 extra cores but the cpu will be locked down

and no igpu

[alpine lily]

im js wondering im super new to newegg and this is my first pc and im wondering if i got scammed i bought the aoace pc for 800 and i cant find any videos about it and it says it will release on 8/18/24 the model number is 9sibv1mk713275 im pretty sure

[elfin mural]

do you have a link to the pc?

[alpine lily]

https://www.newegg.com/p/3D5-006C-00001 im sorry for the late reply

I was waiting for someone to reply and the last time j checked was 6:25 and like i forgot to check again at 6:30

[storm narwhal]

Hmm

Never heard of the brand before either

[alpine lily]

should i js wait for the release date or what do i do

[elfin mural]

they seem legit

but you pre ordered a pc

so that's why you haven't received it yet

it's processed by newegg

but honestly i'd probably refund it lol

if you have a budget that low, i'd suggest a laptop

or you to build a pc

or pay more for this:

https://www.newegg.com/abs-ca13400f4060-cyclone-aqua/p/N82E16883360500

[alpine lily]

ohh

[elfin mural]

ya

it's a brand shop that newegg approved

not shipped by newegg but newegg will take care of returns

[alpine lily]

its cuz it came with a 60 dollar gift card and it covered the taxes and 800 is a clean number, and im planning on getting a 27 in monitor soon cuz mine got a crack

[elfin mural]

if you have the patience, you can wait

[alpine lily]

thank you

[elfin mural]

that doesn't include shipping date though

[alpine lily]

👍🏼

[elfin mural]

it's a release date

[alpine lily]

damn

[elfin mural]

tho since we dunno about the quality of that prebuilt brand

it's either gonna be ok, good, or bad

[alpine lily]

if it doesnt arrive before next month im js gonna cancel it

[alpine lily]

ohh alr

why would I need the 80$ one?

[elfin mural]

the $80 one has more capacity

[rough marlin]

did Iread wrong

oh by like 5000mAh right

is that worth the extra tho?

[elfin mural]

meh

it's worth like a phone more

if you wanna charge your phone one more time with it

then it's probably worth it

[keen shale]

Charge rate is also much higher on the expensive one

Both for output and for charging devices

[elfin mural]

hm true

[keen shale]

$80 one is deisgned for charging laptops

So if you're not doing that, get the $30 one

speaking of batteries has anyone had good experience with magsafe power banks

i got an anker charger for my phone too

it's pretty nice

[pliant berry]

I'm just sick of having to find an outlet everywhere I go but want to keep it simple

[keen shale]

Sometimes it's cheaper to have a new battery put in the phone than a battery bank, depending on the model.

[pliant berry]

I think it is cheaper for my phone by like 10usd or so but Idk if that'd be worth it considering my battery wasn't great to begin with

[wary fjord]

deym u guys are not env friendly

xD

too much battery

[pliant berry]

the battery technology we have is just so terrible

[wary fjord]

i bought a power bank in china.. half of the battery is just a cement

xD

[craggy shoal]

I have their first version of this. I like it but my phone gets a little hot from it sometimes (probably just normal wireless charging). I got mine for like $30 from TikTok. Overall worth it

[wary fjord]

good thing i refund it

[wary fjord]

use uranium

it last longer than u live

[pliant berry]

I wish

[wary fjord]

and yes its a thing in china they develop battery that harness those

i dont know if the same xD

[pliant berry]

ye wireless is pretty hot, though my phone gets hot no matter what you do to it

[wary fjord]

it just called Nuclear battery

[pliant berry]

yes plz

[keen shale]

Who's gonna walk around with a radioactive package in their pocket?

[wary fjord]

we have so many wasted nuclear stuff xD

we only use it to heat up and do the steam thing

[pliant berry]

me

[wary fjord]

to convert it to energy

then after that

its a waste

xD

[wary fjord]

maybe the shell lower its risk xD

but again if u stab that battery xD

a bright flash will go

[craggy shoal]

What's your storage configuration like? Are some of those SATA drives with the others being M.2? Or do you have a PCIe card to give you more M.2 storage?

[keen shale]

2 Sata SSD, 2 platter, 2 NVME

H is network storage but it's in my PC

[craggy shoal]

What's the point of making it a network drive if it's in your PC?

I guess you have other PCs that point to it?

[keen shale]

Network backup drive

[craggy shoal]

gotcha

[keen shale]

The 6 TB and 8 TB drives are basically backups for all things in the house

[craggy shoal]

I'm nervous to know why the "Stuff" drive is bigger than the "Games" drive

[keen shale]

8 TB backed up to the 6 TB

Both storages and games are for games

Stuff is just a backup for the 8 TB

Stuff is also where I run my game servers from

[fervent stump]

What are these names 😭

[wary fjord]

u can access it on any device that can connect to it xD

sounds fun

[keen shale]

Intranet only though, no Internet access

[craggy shoal]

Yeah I use Nextcloud for that. It's my central storage solution

[deep parcel]

I have 8tb of ssd space, 4tb nvme and 4tb sata but 4 sata drives running in raid 0 so it runs at nvme speed.

im out of nvme slots 😦

[keen shale]

I have one more slot but it shares with my Sata ports that I use

So, that's a no go

Probs upgrade to 2 TB NVME's soon

[wary fjord]

fancy

[deep parcel]

ill probably do that with my 1tb secondary game drive. probably will get a cheaper 3.0 4tb nvme drive or something maybe gen 4 will come down in price by the time I wanna do that

[wary fjord]

me just 3.2tb xD

on the price i paid on that sn70 now a days i can get 4tb on it xD

but gen 3

[craggy shoal]

I need more drives

[deep parcel]

I only use my 4x sata drive for games with cloud saving, that way if one of the drives does die there is no loss. Just would have to redownload all of the games on it again lol.

it's thick but it's shorter than 4080/90s

I'm sad that my gpu is immensely thick

That i can't use 2nd pcie slot to power USB a/c adapter card

How can i get the stains off the arms.. its from my gaming desk its a wood table and it keeps rubbing off when i slide my chair under it… what do you think i could use

[keen shale]

Vert mount only way

[keen shale]

Try some rubbing alcohol

[last mango]

Yeah I ordered vert mount and turns out the adapter card is too thick to be able to insert between the GPU and the motherboard

[keen shale]

The PCI-E slot adapter?

So I'll just settle with buying a powered USB hub anyways

Can't even find a block for my EVGA card 😦

[last mango]

Me either

They only seem to cater to specific 7900xt cards

While most of waterblocks available for 7000 series is only for XTX

[keen shale]

If the board is a reference design, other blocks will probably work

Just make sure RAM and GPU are in the same orientation and placement as the others

[potent goblet]

I didnt think of that.. thanks gotta try that

[keen shale]

It also removes Sharpie.

[last mango]

Is asus tuf a reference design?

[keen shale]

What card is it?

[last mango]

7900xt in my PC ATM

[last mango]

4070ti on left and 79xt on right

[keen shale]

All of these blocks are listed as XT/XTX https://modmymods.com/gpu-water-blocks/amd-radeon-rx-7900-xt-xtx.html

[last mango]

Yeah I know ekwb is reputable

[craggy shoal]

@keen shale Google doesn't help me much so I'm asking here. Should I use DDU when switching from Intel to AMD? Or should I just go through the Intel chipset drivers and whatever else Intel before switching?

[keen shale]

You talking motherboard?

[craggy shoal]

Yes

[last mango]

Yeah I don't wanna mess up my only and one components I have ATM

[keen shale]

Yes, Safe Mode boot, DDU all drivers, shutdown. Swap hardware, reboot, profit

[craggy shoal]

gotcha thanks

[last mango]

dang

[craggy shoal]

I guess that goes even for my GPU too. Not that big of a deal though tbh

[keen shale]

I've done it without DDU before but it can be sketch

[last mango]

I never had to ddu my motherboard drivers when I switched from i5 10400 to 5600x

[keen shale]

You don't have to but it can prevent issues

It's the best practice

[last mango]

Just went ahead and installed 5600x chips chipset drivers

[craggy shoal]

True but I don't trust it. I've done Intel to Intel before and Windows didn't like it

[last mango]

But sometime later I did a new windows installation

[craggy shoal]

looks good to me lmao

[last mango]

Windows:

[keen shale]

Nuke whole thing, EZ mode

[craggy shoal]

yeah exactly

alright thanks bro. I'll see y'all on the other side (the good side) lol

[last mango]

who is this man. Block it.

[keen shale]

It'll be fine

[last mango]

I'm considering dduing my motherboard drivers too

Had altasos freeze up on me

I know that dang window processes got stuck

And it slowly froze up

[craggy shoal]

Wait DDU doesn't have specifically chipset drivers, at least for Intel

[last mango]

💀

I liked Unbound

Heat feels janky

[rancid juniper]

heat is fine and i also like unbound

[last mango]

The controls at least

Graphics is nice

when i thought my s24 ultra has firmware issue with fast charging

turns out i killed my anker 60w brick

by dropping it accidentally

bought asurion 65w from their brick store

it works well

relieved tho

but dang I wish I was more careful so my anker 60w could last a while

9700x is pretty potent with smt off

[dusk knot]

Rather interesting 🤔

[elfin mural]

with some games, the 9700x is next to 7800x3d

[rancid juniper]

you wanna see my character?

also the game is called mechabreak

Sheesh

[rancid juniper]

fromsoft moment

[dusk knot]

Is the game free?

[rancid juniper]

yea

[dusk knot]

[rancid juniper]

but you have to be invited

its a closed beta or sum

its going to end on the 13th

[dusk knot]

Not pog

[last mango]

I just requested

and i got in real quick

[rancid juniper]

request it JP

you may have a quick chance

[dusk knot]

I'll see

[rancid juniper]

its also like 15gb

[dusk knot]

Not bad

[rancid juniper]

gameplay combat aint too shabby

i like this

recently got into it

thanks to Compoo

uh

is there a 120 fps setting

or is it locked to 60fps

[proud jackal]

[last mango]

dang no 120 hz or 165hz option

[dusk knot]

Oof!

[last mango]

Uhh

jumping could use some work

[dusk knot]

Hm?

[last mango]

in AC 6 the jump is brief and precise how long u hold ur spacebar

[keen shale]

Ohhh, 9700X with PBO might actually be worth it, once you remove the wattage restrictions

[dusk knot]

Really now

[keen shale]

3K point difference in Cinebench

[dusk knot]

Crazy

[last mango]

I press spacebar to jump

[keen shale]

5.3 ghz all core clock

[last mango]

mecha jumps 40 ft high like chill

well its a open beta so not complaining

[keen shale]

4K point increase over 7700x

Jay did some testing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzoO1zuzivM

[remote geode]

looks like Rei Ayanami

[keen shale]

Just click Auto PBO in Bios and run.

[craggy shoal]

Idk who needs to hear this, but if you have a Lian Li Galahad 360 (the original one that states it only supports up to AM4 sockets), it'll support your AM5 socket

[devout forum]

How much power does an unshackled 9700X take?

Cuz 88 watt perf is amazing

[keen shale]

Up to 160 watts

PPT

[devout forum]

And the efficiency is really, really good

[keen shale]

Yes, efficiency is really good

overall performance suffers because of it though

[devout forum]

Double the power for ~10% more perf?

How is the scaling

[keen shale]

If all you're after is efficiency, don't use PBO

If you want more power, use PBO

[devout forum]

I mean

88 watt perf is already like amazing isn't it?

[worthy meteor]

Wasn't there also some gains with smt off

[keen shale]

Compared to the 7700X, not really

[devout forum]

It's just that if PBO don't loft perf significantly, it don't really feel worth it

[keen shale]

Depends on your definition of loft

[devout forum]

Lmao

I meant lift

[keen shale]

3K more points in Cinebench isn't exactly paltry

[devout forum]

Late and tireds

What's stock score?

[keen shale]

Bascially, the 7700X and 9700x stock scores are within 900 points

[devout forum]

But 7700X takes ~140 watts to do that stock doesn't it?

[keen shale]

105

105 is default TDP

[devout forum]

Oh yeah TDP isn't power draw anymore

I meant the PPT

Apologies if I'm not very coherent

Long day and lots of working on renovations

[keen shale]

IDK what the stock PPT is

my 7700X is PBO with curve optimized

[devout forum]

I meant stock perf and power draw for both

[keen shale]

I know what you're asking, I don't have the answers

[devout forum]

As far as I can see the 9700X is "You get a 7700X in performance but it draws like half the power stock"

The question is if you give it juice, does the 9700X take off?

[keen shale]

As stated above, yes. 3K point Cinebench increase

[devout forum]

That's like 10% right?

[keen shale]

no

[devout forum]

(I have not yet had the opportunity to watch any reviews of the 9000 series)

I am in the blind rn

[keen shale]

20K-23K

[devout forum]

Alli know is that it's really power efficient OOB

[keen shale]

With a 4K increase over 7700x

If power efficiency is your jam, keep it stock

IMO, still not worth an upgrade over the 7700x but it's really hamstrung with the stock power settings

[devout forum]

So if the 9700X gets the juice it goes
Nice

[devout forum]

What about from a 7600X?

Yes it's a product tier upgrade
But that's what I have

[keen shale]

Big jump

[last mango]

Oh ok i take it back

[keen shale]

15K cinbench score to 23K cinebench score with a 9700X juiced

[last mango]

your character is visible in starting matches and after results

[devout forum]

That's pretty big

[keen shale]

~50% increase

[devout forum]

I suppose that's a fair bit

[keen shale]

If you're gonna juice it have a good cooler

[devout forum]

Guess 9700X without PBO for my next upgrade

[dusk knot]

Ah yes.

[devout forum]

I love efficiency

[keen shale]

Stock 7600x to stock 9700x is ~5K cinbench increase

[last mango]

combat is fast paced

[devout forum]

Energy prices are stupid high here
And heat is an issue

[last mango]

its pvp but im sure they were bots

[keen shale]

30% increase

[last mango]

unless actual players off the bat?

[keen shale]

~33% increase

[dusk knot]

Bots.....

[last mango]

Figured

[devout forum]

30% more perf for 30% less power use

That sounds really rad

[keen shale]

I mean, you can undervolt and tune the 7600x to use way less power and still be good too. Curve Optimizer is a great tool.

[last mango]

speaking of COs

somebody told me to slap -30 CO on

and call it a day

did it

system was unstable

after 10-20 minutes

[dusk knot]

That takes away from the fun.

[last mango]

for first match its understandable when you're learning the controls

[devout forum]

-30 either works perfectly stable for me
Or my motherboard just doesn't apply CO whatsoever

[last mango]

and the game mechanics

Hmm

i have a b550F mobo

could that be why or it doesnt make any difference

[keen shale]

I've found the AI CO optimizer to work really well actually

[devout forum]

My Mobo is trash tho

[keen shale]

If your BIOS supports it

[lone mango]

I jsut saw this come up after a video ended but didnt think much of it

I guess Iw as wrong

[last mango]

bios by default no

it wont give me amd ryzen master to CO it

[devout forum]

It's the Benchmark Edition ™️ B650M-A

[last mango]

5600x supports it

has co menu

but my 5800x3d doesnt give me co menu

[devout forum]

X3D chips don't need CO

[last mango]

Gotcha. I turned it off anyways

[devout forum]

7800X3D can take advantage of it but why bother?

OOB that chip is already the best gaming CPU

[elfin mural]

less heat

even more efficiency

[proud jackal]

[keen shale]

That's what my 7700X came out as, a mix of -4 and -5. 5.3 ghz all core. haven't pushed much more than that.

[elfin mural]

an optimized voltage is nice

[nocturne flicker]

There is an application that can force a 5800x3d to be able to CO. My 5800x3d easily does -30 on all cores. Makes less heat and makes it easier to cool with lower rpms

There is no reason to not do it

[last mango]

oob?

[keen shale]

out of box

[last mango]

ah

[keen shale]

or out of the box

[devout forum]

What he said

[last mango]

Well im pleased to hear

best scam buy got my ass for $350

for that chip

but I am happy with upgrade

100% syenergy with 4070ti and now 79xt coupled with it

[unreal trail]

[last mango]

the price or the combo

[dusk knot]

OLED I making
You unstoppable

[nocturne flicker]

It depends on the quality of the silicon of the cpu. Depending on what you get it will vary in how well it can handle it

[last mango]

Will batch number identify the quality of the silicon?

[velvet summit]

No

[keen shale]

It's all RNG

[velvet summit]

https://tenor.com/view/gamblecore-stickman-casino-gamble-gif-7118676210396292522

There's literally no way to tell until you start benchmarking

[nocturne flicker]

The only way to determine how good your specific cpu is to test in in OCing and undervolting and comparing it to other cpus of the same type

[velvet summit]

This is why sites like silicon lottery used to exist

They would buy a bunch of cpus and bin them

They don't exist anymore though

Shutdown

[keen shale]

I'm sure that headache was real, people buying binned CPU's, put it in a low end board and wonder why OC doesn't work

[last mango]

LOL 💀

Gotcha thank guys

I wouldn't bother benchmarking and fiddling around to see mime is golden silicon

Just gonna game n chill away

[keen shale]

If AMD just PBO and AI CO, call it a day. Provided your cooler can handle it

[craggy shoal]

bruh

[keen shale]

What? 13700K has more cores, 16 vs 12 in the 7900x.

[craggy shoal]

My 13700K was throttled after hitting 90C

I set it to that

So it's like I get a weaker CPU that doesn't run as hot. And given that it doesn't run as hot, it'll do better than the stronger CPU

if that even makes sense lol

[gleaming sedge]

Ebay really a decent place to buy stuff? I found a old rc car from my childhood I liked but the remote got crushed and I don't want to spend 60 on Amazon when ebay has it for 30

Maybe there are also better rc cars now for around 50 and lower

[keen shale]

Read the description and seller reviews carefully

If you do that, it's a good place

[gleaming sedge]

90.09% good feed back out of 400 sum people

[keen shale]

Def read some the reviews then

Feel out your comfort level seeing what the actual complaints are

[gleaming sedge]

If I didn't have a trip coming up I'd go for the traxxas slash 1/16

[keen shale]

Man, I haven't bought Traxas in years. They went the Apple route, locking you into their batteries and chargers and stuff. I've been super happy with Axial if you're up for an alternative

Although if you already have all the Traxxas batts and chargers, may as well stick with em

[gleaming sedge]

Could I just buy a cheaper 2.4G remote?

Nvm

[keen shale]

For a Traxxas? No, they're not compatible with other remotes. Will depend on what receiver you have as to what remotes will work

[gleaming sedge]

Walmart has it for 17 dollars

[gleaming sedge]

For this car

[keen shale]

Ohhhhhhh I gotcha

Yeah, I have no idea what TX will work with that

[gleaming sedge]

Yea it's fine though I'll just buy a new one

It looks just like the one I have even the remote so should be the same or close

M27Q is still the good 1440p IPS recommendation right? or did a new thing take its place.

[sweet phoenix]

atm it's on a good sale

typically no

dell g2724d is $180, m27q is $230 rn

imo the $50 extra is worth it

[rancid juniper]

get rid of the throttling, check your core clocks via hwinfo, or just rerun

your score should be higher than my 13600k

oh, and i fixed the constant crashing from unity games by reverting AC/DC loadline to auto, it did bring up wattage a small bit but that will do

still 140w is not too bad for a raptorlake chip

[craggy shoal]

Too late I already got my 7900X lmao

Tired of Intel so I just upgraded today lmaooo

[rancid juniper]

OH SNAP that was FAST

[craggy shoal]

(Downgrade, I know. But I have plans to change that)

[rancid juniper]

no x3d?

sadge

well atleast its AMD

[craggy shoal]

I would've gotten a 7800X3D but I didn’t for two reasons:

1. It would've taken like a week to arrive, vs the 7900X arriving today (this morning)
2. I kinda wanna wait to see what AMD does anyways, like if the 9800X3D will be better than the 7800X3D. I'd probably get the 9000 atp and put this 7900X in my Bazzite build (it's currently suffering with a 3600 rn lmao)

[rancid juniper]

aight fair enough

[craggy shoal]

I have a plan for this CPU lol

[rancid juniper]

😏

[fervent stump]

Awww you should have gotten it but I get it

It’s a nice plan

[craggy shoal]

Nah

Yeah imma wait

[fervent stump]

Me too!

narnia

[fervent stump]

That’s very nice of you!

😄

[mighty hazel]

If u have intel, I’d undervolt. Don’t rely on the microcode

[rancid juniper]

lmfao fr

[mighty hazel]

They’re trying to scam you. The cpu will degrade by the time the warranty is up

[craggy shoal]

She likes fantasy books. There's a donation box on my neighborhood track. I check it every once in a while to see if there's anything she'd like. I saw Narnia so I picked it

[mighty hazel]

Planned obsolescence

[craggy shoal]

Already switched lol

[rancid juniper]

my guy switched sides quick

and for good reason

Oh

[fervent stump]

Ohhh alrighty your a very nice person

[mighty hazel]

Nice lol

[craggy shoal]

Tired of Intel's BS

[rancid juniper]

[craggy shoal]

It heated my room too

[rancid juniper]

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

nah man keep it for the winter

[mighty hazel]

If u don’t need it, I don’t mind taking it off ur hands

Lmao

[craggy shoal]

Do you have $200 and live in Houston? I'll give you the motherboard with it

I don't have my car atm though so you'd have to come pick it up lmaoo

[mighty hazel]

Unfortunately not lol

[fervent stump]

What happened to it?

[mighty hazel]

Good deal tho

[craggy shoal]

At first it had ABS issues. I took it to a mechanic I trust and it's the TCM along with it

As expected when you get a Ford

I’m about to trade this POS in when I get the chance

[fervent stump]

Ohh ok

[fervent stump]

That’s a good idea

[craggy shoal]

The repair cost is practically going to total the car. It's not worth it 💀

[mighty hazel]

I got a hand me down Ford 💀

[craggy shoal]

Which one?

[fervent stump]

Wow that’s to much

[mighty hazel]

Escort

[craggy shoal]

Oh god

Probably just as bad as my Focus 💀

[rancid juniper]

rip

[fervent stump]

Get a newer truck

[craggy shoal]

I don't want a truck

[fervent stump]

Oh

Me neither

[mighty hazel]

It’s a 93 so I’m just hoping the older ones are better. So far it’s been decent

[craggy shoal]

I really want a GTI but idk if that's gonna happen

[fervent stump]

What’s that?

[craggy shoal]

That’s usually how it is with Ford iirc. The Mk2 Focuses were basically tanks

[craggy shoal]

Volkswagen Golf GTI

Ohh ok

I Love dodge chargers or something like that

[craggy shoal]

Ew

ehhh. Plastic interiors don't sit right with me

Yeah kinda. Too many people have them

[fervent stump]

:o

[craggy shoal]

I still have yet seen a kid glazing on it though. I don't where this "overratedness" comes from tbh lol

[velvet summit]

Idk if they're worth their price tag

Actually, I used to work in the factory that made them

[mighty hazel]

I mean they’re supercars

[velvet summit]

Also yeah there's alot of plastic in them lmao

[fervent stump]

Woah that’s cool

[velvet summit]

I've seen them being produced from stamping to qc

[craggy shoal]

I'll probably end up getting a Corolla hatchback given my financial situation 🫠

[velvet summit]

It's very loud lmao

[fervent stump]

I may get one used since the newer ones are going to be electric

[velvet summit]

You really want a gas guzzler in 2024?

[fervent stump]

Dodge chargers are perfect

For me

[craggy shoal]

I want a V8 but I travel a lot

[fervent stump]

Why can’t you get a v8 then?

Idk anything almost about cars

[velvet summit]

Honestly I rather buy a old beater then kit it out

Way cheaper and more fun

[craggy shoal]

They use a lot of fuel. It would cost a lot

[velvet summit]

Gas

[fervent stump]

Ohhhh ok

[velvet summit]

I assume you don't have a car and haven't felt the pain every time you refuel

[craggy shoal]

When I could get an inline-4 for basically the same price that makes the same amount of power all while being easier on fuel

[velvet summit]

"welp there goes another $100"

[keen shale]
