Over 47 application tests though, it's only 11 watts.

[tranquil pebble]

disabling SMT probably has the most benefit on laptops

[rancid juniper]

still... lower power

hehehwqehehqhwqhe

[keen shale]

Over 13 game tests, it's only 4 watts.

[rancid juniper]

but power shaved off = efficiency frfr

[keen shale]

Lol, I live on PBO + Curve optimizer

[rancid juniper]

real

[keen shale]

I paid for the cores and power, I'm gonna use em

But if you want real efficiency, stock 9000 series is the way to go

[rancid juniper]

bro definitely maxed out his speedometer one too many

😏

[rancid juniper]

it gets better with an undervolt

SUPREME EFFICIENCY

[tranquil pebble]

I run stock for max stability

[rancid juniper]

^realist pc user

[tranquil pebble]

just need to add some ECC to that mix

[keen shale]

My 3700x lived on PBO it's entire life with no isses. YMMV of course

Server CPU's are another story also

[tranquil pebble]

my i7 920 lived on a 1.4 GHz OC most of its life with no issues.

[keen shale]

So did my AMD64, it was an Arch node for years

[rancid juniper]

aight imma try running my cpu with HT off brb, very curious

[tranquil pebble]

These days OC doesnt get you what it used to

[rancid juniper]

dang right

cpus are already strong enough that the gains are barely worthwhile

only difference i can see is just ram

[keen shale]

Nope, manufacturers are already pushing the CPU at stock. OC gets you a bit more though

[rancid juniper]

DDR4/DDR5

[tranquil pebble]

only thing Id consider an OC for is memory and GPU

[keen shale]

I mean, my 7700X is at a 5.3 ghz all core now

[sweet phoenix]

personally same

idgaf about cpu oc

[tranquil pebble]

i7 920 should not have been 2.66 GHz stock. That thing was capable of so much more.

[keen shale]

Back when manu's weren't pushing the silicon

[tranquil pebble]

These days Intel be pushing the silicon to the point of death in many cases

[keen shale]

Yeah, they've fallen a bit behind the curve like AMD did years ago.

It'll switch again at some point in the future

[tranquil pebble]

For Intel its either Xeon or no from me

[keen shale]

Still wish we had a third CPU optino like Cyrix so many years ago, competition be a good thing

[tranquil pebble]

imagine if Microsoft started making x86 cpus

would be cursed

[keen shale]

Might happen, they already have their own ARM cpu

[tranquil pebble]

Microsoft CPU running Linux just for the irony

[keen shale]

But I doubt, the investment needed for the x86 market is ginormous

[tranquil pebble]

yeah

[wary fjord]

microsoft has cpu?

[tranquil pebble]

and MS already shot themselves in the foot with Xbox

[keen shale]

Although TSMC is a thing, MS just needs the design

[keen shale]

Yes, ARM based for cloud use

[wary fjord]

is it trash

[tranquil pebble]

yes

[keen shale]

no

[wary fjord]

nice

[keen shale]

[tranquil pebble]

Windows on ARM is anyways

maybe not the CPUs themselves

[keen shale]

CPU is good, Windows on ARM is poo

[tranquil pebble]

for ARM you go Linux or nothing

compile stuff yourself if you have to

[keen shale]

CPU is specifically designed for their Azure platform and supposedly does pretty well there.

[tranquil pebble]

Orange Pi introduced me to Linux on ARM and I love it

[tranquil pebble]

the vendor lock-in with Azure is not great though

[keen shale]

Here's a relatively recent article on the Azure Cobalt 100 https://www.infoq.com/news/2024/05/microsoft-cobalt-arm-based-vms/

[rancid juniper]

Dayum, with SMT off I get up to 115w in cinebench R23 compared to 141w. However the performance decreased dramatically obv (-4000 points)

Lel

Very interesting

[keen shale]

Indeed, takes power to make power.

[rancid juniper]

Yea

[tranquil pebble]

kinda like a more powerful car engine consumes more fuel

[elfin mural]

imma actually uv my laptop with negative co offset

i wanna cut down heat

my laptop's cooling is adequate but i want to see better

[devout forum]

Not gonna lie

the oob on 9000 is so tempting

but the price tho

[keen shale]

Yeah, I'm keeping my 7700x for a while. At least unti l get tempted with a 9000 X3D part

[proud jackal]

Intel will beat it

[devout forum]

Sad pepe

Why do I not have $400

@sour falcon wanna come to New Jersey and rob this guy with me

[lone mango]

Wow

[keen shale]

scuse me

[sinful blade]

I mean

Politely ask him for his stuff

[lone mango]

[sinful blade]

[gleaming rivet]

With a 🔫

[sinful blade]

Precisely

I don’t own one so I’ll have to politely ask someone who does for one with a knife

[gleaming rivet]

You don't have a squirt gun?

Super Soaker!

[sinful blade]

I do not

[fervent stump]

Ummm there may be a problem

[craggy shoal]

Yeah that's why I use Nextcloud lol

Don't have to pay for iCloud

[chrome portal]

I just store all my photos in a discord dm with my brother

Ex

[keen shale]

Someone didn't pay their bill

[young matrix]

Jokes on you im already in jersey

Imma beat you to it

[tranquil pebble]

there's no guarantee those won't eventually be deleted

[chrome portal]

Of course I don’t do that joker

Are you kidding

Why would I do that

There is no guarantee any other cloud solution won’t be deleted

[tranquil pebble]

some people would though unironically

[chrome portal]

There is no solution other than buying your own drives

All cloud solutions are flawed

[tranquil pebble]

yeah they are only good for offsite backups. You should have onsite or home backups too

[sinful blade]

dang it

[craggy shoal]

I can't stand renting storage. It's like putting YOUR files on someone else's server. That thought doesn't sit right with me

[tranquil pebble]

that is because it is exactly that

for me it depends on how sensitive the data is... if it is just memes or something then idc if it gets "spied" on

for anything confidential I would do my own backups only

[paper verge]

that $100 shipping goes crazy

[opaque sedge]

I hate the new ending phantom liberty gives man

[craggy shoal]

I have a Dell Optiplex 780 and I'm wondering if there's any self hosting projects I can do with it

(doubt it tbh)

[paper verge]

nextcloud

[craggy shoal]

I already have like two Nextcloud servers

It has IDE on it and like maybe a SATA 2 port 💀

[paper verge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YgWaeq07As

perhaps?

[craggy shoal]

This thing has USB as well as serial 💀

[wary fjord]

||get x3d sell 7700x||

https://tenor.com/view/whisper-gif-20936283

[keen shale]

Sell 7700x?

Nah

[craggy shoal]

Yo that interface looks clean. I might do that with one of my servers

[keen shale]

Upgrade wifes 10600K

[craggy shoal]

I'm thinking I'll just have it recycled. It's taking up space

[fervent stump]

How does that work?

My wifi is so bad im in class now

[craggy shoal]

You take any old computer you have lying around, install Linux, install Docker on Linux, and install Nextcloud onto Docker

For the easy route, just install Linux and then install CasaOS. It's like two commands and then you can install Nextcloud with a web GUI interface in CasaOS

^^ The beginner self host route

[fervent stump]

The thing is the iCloud stuff is pictures from my phone will it automatically go to it?

[craggy shoal]

Yeah you just have to be on the same network and leave the app open

It'll take a while if you have a lot of photos

[fervent stump]

Oh ok

[craggy shoal]

Not too bad. Plus you own the storage atp and it's not like you're having to rent storage from Apple

[fervent stump]

I just looked at what’s taking the most storage and it’s photos and genshin impact with 30gb

[craggy shoal]

bruh 💀

[fervent stump]

Photos is 123gb

My messages are so laggy

Help

[velvet summit]

123gb images 💀

[craggy shoal]

Yeah it's gonna take a super long time for your photos to sync to Nextcloud 💀

[fervent stump]

The picture won’t send

Did it?

[fervent stump]

Look ^

[velvet summit]

Wtf you taking so many pictures of

[fervent stump]

Everything

Anything I like

Every 10 seconds in games

[velvet summit]

[fervent stump]

I beat a game yesterday and I took 6 screenshots of the winning screen

[proud jackal]

[velvet summit]

Why

[fervent stump]

And I wanted to make videos on my phone so I have like 5-10 minute videos which add up

[fervent stump]

Idk so I don’t forget it?

That’s a good question

[velvet summit]

You would forget that you beat a game if you didn't take a screenshot of it 🤨

[fervent stump]

Maybe

I’m dumb

The pictures won’t load wait I’m sending something

[craggy shoal]

school wifi moment

[fervent stump]

Did any pictures send?

[craggy shoal]

nah

[fervent stump]

:c

Waaaaa

[fervent stump]

I can’t even unsend it so I have to wait for it to load

[craggy shoal]

💀

[fervent stump]

Nvm it failed

[craggy shoal]

Bruh is your school's upload like 2Kbps?

[fervent stump]

Not sure

Worse?

[craggy shoal]

what

[fervent stump]

Maybe like 10 bps

[craggy shoal]

bruh 💀

yo it sent lmaooo

[fervent stump]

YES

[fervent stump]

I sent that 4 minutes ago

[craggy shoal]

5G moment

[fervent stump]

@velvet summit I need every ss of that screen

[fervent stump]

Do you agree ^^

[craggy shoal]

nah

[fervent stump]

:(

[fervent stump]

Meanie

I have a 24 minute video of me playing neighbors on Roblox

[craggy shoal]

bruh

I couldn't withstand recording 24 minutes on my phone

[fervent stump]

I deleted it

And a 16 min video

[craggy shoal]

50GB gone just like that

[fervent stump]

Wait I hope my phone doesn’t crash I’m going to send a 4 second video

[velvet summit]

🗿

[fervent stump]

It’s not even half way

[velvet summit]

Damn I have to drive
I don't want to drive in the city 😭

[craggy shoal]

I like freeway driving

swimming is fun

My comment on an Instagram post has nearly 100K likes 💀

[fervent stump]

Wow that’s cool

[rancid juniper]

https://youtu.be/GdQ5bClEgHg?si=cLes7XJImutm7RVF

[fervent stump]

Schools ending in 2 minutes the video will send

[craggy shoal]

Plex is your friend

[fervent stump]

I give up the video isn’t sending

[craggy shoal]

And JellyFin (I still need to try JellyFin)

[craggy shoal]

L

[fervent stump]

It’s been 16 minutes for a 4 second video

Ryzen 7 7700X
Rtx 4080

[sinful blade]

That’s a little expensive
But it’s better value than most

Bout $300 less than other listings I’m seeing

[fair rampart]

I saw a 4090 build for like $2900~ but it had a i9 so F

[fervent stump]

The pictures won’t load because my SCHOOL but it looks ok I think you could have maybe had a better cpu

[sinful blade]

Sell and replace

[fair rampart]

I agree but playing on 4k so it should be fine

Was gonna upgrade to a ryzen 9 once we see more

[sinful blade]

If anything, wait for the 9700x

[fair rampart]

Yes

[fervent stump]

Won’t 5090 builds be like 3k

Also are their serial numbers to gpu?

[fair rampart]

I’m not upgrading my cpu until project zomboid gets a update, cpu won’t be needed much otherwise lol

The only cpu game I’d play

[fervent stump]

Oh ok that’s good

[fervent stump]

@ someone

[craggy shoal]

yes

[fervent stump]

:o

[craggy shoal]

Pretty much everything will have a serial number

[sinful blade]

Probably $2.6 or so

Gonna be hungry for a good PSU

[fervent stump]

I want the 5090 serial number 1

[sinful blade]

$27,000

[craggy shoal]

Yeah just shape shift into Jensen himself lol

[fervent stump]

Fine 2

[craggy shoal]

His wife

[fervent stump]

7?

[craggy shoal]

His far cousin

idk

[fervent stump]

27?

[craggy shoal]

maybe idk

[fervent stump]

I want to preorder it but I’m poor

Trust I will have a nasa pc

[craggy shoal]

Bruh it's mid August and we know nothing about 5000 series

[fervent stump]

Is there any price guesses?

[craggy shoal]

$4390147690314

[fervent stump]

What’s this? https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-5090.c4216

[craggy shoal]

Built on the 0 nm process
Yeah okay

[fervent stump]

Wait lemme cook rq

[craggy shoal]

I'm sure that whole page is just a placeholder for when it's actually released

[fervent stump]

White FE

[craggy shoal]

gimme

[fervent stump]

I wanna make one

I want to get a FE with a low serial number and wrap it white

I’m excited

[fervent stump]

https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/1013cbw/white_4090_fe/#lightbox

[craggy shoal]

I kinda just want to print a GPU shroud

[sinful blade]

I’m gonna make a neon green 4090

[craggy shoal]

Easier than painting for me

[sinful blade]

My goal build will be entirely a neon green+neon blue combo

[craggy shoal]

Print covers to cover the ugly black parts in my build lol

[fervent stump]

Shroud?

[craggy shoal]

https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/1bqqaf7/custom_3d_print_gpu_shroudfan_mount/

Yes, shroud

[fervent stump]

I can do vinyl since my mom has stuff I think for it

[sinful blade]

Like this

[craggy shoal]

That image is nuked bruh

Can't comprehend anything in that image lmao

[fervent stump]

Oh like print the outside of it?

Like the part holding it

[craggy shoal]

I'd take the shroud off of my GPU and replace it with a shroud that I've printed

[sinful blade]

It’s because it’s from a deleted Facebook post

[craggy shoal]

I have an FE 2070 Super. I might practice on that since I have no use for it

[fervent stump]

Yes like the plastic part on the outside?

[craggy shoal]

yes

the shroud

[fervent stump]

Ohh ok

[craggy shoal]

Man I kinda don't wanna ruin the FE look on my 2070 Super though

[fervent stump]

Me dumb I don’t understand those terms so I have to dumb it down

[fervent stump]

I don’t like the FE 40 cards for a white build that’s why I wanna make it white

Would it be kinda easy to do it?

[craggy shoal]

lmao heck no

But new challenges the my norm

[fervent stump]

Waaaaa ok :(

[sinful blade]

Just use some good spray paint

Ez

[craggy shoal]

Nah

[sinful blade]

or use latex paint like my landlord did

[craggy shoal]

I'm bad at painting so I'll go the hard route that I know how to do

[fervent stump]

The 30 FE are so small

That’s why I like the 40 FE

[sinful blade]

I enjoy how the 2080ti FE looks

Very clean

[fervent stump]

It’s like a baby

[fervent stump]

Isn’t it like silver

[sinful blade]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-well-gif-27584089

[fervent stump]

I don’t want a FE anymore it’s to much and I’m not good at this

[craggy shoal]

ok

[fervent stump]

It looks nice I like the FE 3070 though

[sinful blade]

Just get the MSI ones

/s

[proud jackal]

[fervent stump]

Why?

[fervent stump]

Noob

[sinful blade]

They’re usually horrible
But they look very metal

[last mango]

Wym

[fervent stump]

I want a 4080s or something that looks amazing like a white FE or strix

Or wait till 50 come out and see how they do for the price of the 4080s

[paper verge]

the thing isnt worth more than 5 bucks

[sinful blade]

Get a Zotac trinity

[fervent stump]

Huh I haven’t heard of that or at least don’t remember how it looks

[sinful blade]

No relation to the convo
I just thought it looked funny

[fervent stump]

Yea

Check the pc part picker in my about me it should have that one

[sinful blade]

:Pog:

[fervent stump]

You like my build?

I need another mobo

[last mango]

K

buys this anyways

It's $111 usd lol

[paper verge]

thats 12V16A

for reference my pc is at 240V3A lol

what a stupid buy

[fair rampart]

On Newegg? I can’t find any better prebuilt site in price for performance terms

[sinful blade]

What? You don’t wanna pay Rentacenter?

[craggy shoal]

I'm surprised they're still around tbh

[sinful blade]

Make a guess at what this costs

For example, the same thing for IPASON on Newegg is $489

[fervent stump]

Omg

[fervent stump]

It’s purrfect

[fervent stump]

It’s great though just I wanna build my own since it’s the cheapest way to go and I wanna learn

[fair rampart]

Budget? Curious

[fervent stump]

If you check the link in my about me that’s what I wanna buy at the moment

[fair rampart]

I found the parts for mine for around $1900 on pc part picker https://pcpartpicker.com/list/x2ThCd

Ah nice

[mortal grail]

People have learned that the accuracy of thickness on modern gpus is just a bunch of pain to work with, so the go to is currently utp-8. Putty that matches the best pads you can buy but doesn't mess up core contact like pads do

[fervent stump]

Big gpu arent that good to work with?

[velvet summit]

I've been labeled

[worthy meteor]

you must be used

[mortal grail]

It's a boy

[wind quail]

no, thermal pads are a fat pain in the ass to work with for GPU's, thats what is used to cool the Vram (the ram on your GPU)

because all gpu's models even between the same manufacturer can differ

[last mango]

didn't buy it. I was trolling you a bit

[fervent stump]

Ohh ok thx

[wind quail]

but most people wont have to worry about replacing thermal pads on their gpus tbh

np :)

[last mango]

Can confirm that

Pastes ez to apply and clean up

But pads

Nah

When they break apart you either have to piece it together carefully

Or buy new pads I guess

[wet spindle]

yo gn

[bright niche]

yo gg

[serene nacelle]

ng

[velvet summit]

just slather your whole gpu in a layer of thermal paste

[fervent stump]

Why do I only hear negative about the size of a 4090

[chrome mirage]

Don't think that movie was considered a blockbuster

[woven turret]

anyone familiar with cameras?

[wraith bay]

Gamestop... you don't even sell em CiB anymore, just loose disc/cartridge only now...

[velvet summit]

because it has gotten so ludicrously big

10 years ago cards were barely even 2 slot thick

[sour falcon]

Yuh

[fervent stump]

I get it but they look so pretty now

[velvet summit]

do they though

2 slot cards are better

[alpine lily]

Is there a channel to ask questions about how games would perform on a rtx4060 and i5 12400f

[velvet summit]

youtube would be a better choice

there's probably some comparison/benchmark video online

[alpine lily]

ok thanks

👍🏼

[fervent stump]

YES

[velvet summit]

counterpoint: a100 gpus in a row

[fervent stump]

Whats that?

[velvet summit]

server gpus

[fervent stump]

4 4080s are better

[velvet summit]

4 of these gpus would cost like, 40 grand lmao

[misty sparrow]

What makes a server GPU different from a normal gaming GPU

[little steppe]

Is it safe to get artisan pads on Amazon resellers?I fear getting a counterfeit any experience on the Matter?

[granite estuary]

Any ideas why my whites in my mobo look purple and ram looks yellow

[fervent stump]

Did you set them all to white?

[mortal grail]

@rancid juniper relatable
https://youtu.be/9nieAlCjOP4

[granite estuary]

Yeah

[fervent stump]

Hmm not sure I’m not an expert in that

[granite estuary]

All good

[proud jackal]

Because rgb doesn't have white LEDS

So it mimics more of a blue

There are some fans out there that do have white leds

[proud jackal]

Same fans, can't do white

More of a blue

[dusk knot]

Mmmmmm

Yes

I get dibs on the next computer you win

[fervent stump]

How do I get a gpu with that?

[sinful blade]

He’s actually serious about only $400 for that entire thing

[strange gorge]

what happened to the help chat😭

[granite estuary]

ah

well that sucks

[lone mango]

What monitor do you have

[granite estuary]

mine AIO can

ram cant

mobo and gpu cant

[fervent stump]

Rn I’m not even sure but ima get a oled eventually

[sinful blade]

It’s actually just #building-and-recc-chat

[granite estuary]

I wish I could cleanup the white wires coming out of the aio

[sinful blade]

Just cut them

EZ

[granite estuary]

lol

[fervent stump]

Why is there only a black 4090 btf

[strange gorge]

sweet, i need to call on my elder nerds for guidance

[lone mango]

I think it is because it would be more expensive to have more cards use that connection

[fervent stump]

Oh :c

[lone mango]

Probably when more people buy it they will make a white one

[fervent stump]

I want the white one

#MakeWhite4090btf

[lone mango]

4090 is a waste of money unless you do specific work with it

For gaming its a waste imo

[fervent stump]

I’m talking about it since it has the btf thing

I already know what I want

[lone mango]

Yeah it is cool. But they wouldn't need to make that if 12vhp was better

It is what it is

I am a 4090 hater

[fervent stump]

It’s not that bad

[storm narwhal]

Colin McRae is a real racecar driver

[lone mango]

Kinda is. Those issues shouldn't happen at all, especially when that kind of money is spent

I caught a tree today

[keen shale]

Yeah, they bird nest way easier than other rods

[north crescent]

Lol, I still talk here couple times per week.

[granite estuary]

Worst backlash ive ever seen

I catch more trees than fish fly fishing

Learned the hard way you need a LOT of room to cast

[granite estuary]

I want to try fly fishing

worth it?

[granite estuary]

yep

[keen shale]

OH yeah it's worth it

[granite estuary]

I also just learnt the hard way

[keen shale]

Once you figure it out and get that first trout on, the fight makes it all worth it

[storm narwhal]

So is that fishing while you're in a plane

[granite estuary]

although ive found that 50lb braided line is easier to use with it

[keen shale]

Oh

[granite estuary]

Bass pro had me setup with a 8lb clear line

[keen shale]

Yeah, the 50 lb braided is stiffer and doesn't peel off as easy

[granite estuary]

and I was googling it and even with the clear line you shouldnt do less than 20lbs with a baitcaster

[keen shale]

setting your drag properly helps too but can be finicky

[granite estuary]

yeah

[keen shale]

I always used my thumb with a baitcaster to control it but that takes a lot of practice

[granite estuary]

I use my thumb atm

[keen shale]

My brother in law is baitcaster master

[granite estuary]

There is this dude on tiktok I saw

that skips his lure

[keen shale]

I never liked it and switched to a spincast real almost right away

[granite estuary]

off the water

and can like cast wherever he wants lol

[keen shale]

I've seen people do that, definitely an acquired skill

[granite estuary]

yeahhh

[keen shale]

Fly's are interesting because the line and lure is so light. Casting into the wind is impossible

[granite estuary]

that is waht ive heard

[keen shale]

Learning to whip the line out takes a LONG time

[granite estuary]

ive been fishing for

1 week now

have yet to catch a fish

😂

[keen shale]

I fly fished for almost 9 months before I caught anything

that was just 1-2 weekends a month though

[granite estuary]

oh Ive gone out I think

4 times

1-2 hours each time

[keen shale]

Also have to learn what the fish are eating, lures, all that other stuff too

[granite estuary]

yeah

I was going for bass but

[keen shale]

That's the hardest part

[granite estuary]

Trout was what ended up biting

multiple bites but was never able to actually catch anything

[keen shale]

Bass like fast moving shiny things

Or frog lures

[granite estuary]

I had a frog popper

(I lost it at the top of a tree)

[keen shale]

I use shad lures on my fly line for bass, they seem to like it

[granite estuary]

I just want either a regular rod or a better baitcast rod

my reel feels REALLY cheap

like when I am trying to tune it I have to bob the line to make the line move lol

[keen shale]

The bass where I'm at really like these lures

[granite estuary]

hmm

Ill have to try that

[keen shale]

Yeah, with poppers it's a jerk and reel thing

[twilit wren]

Should I buy this 160hz 38 inch curved monitor

[granite estuary]

what monitor

[granite estuary]

yeah idk what I am doing

learning curve

[keen shale]

Jerk the rod, reel up slack, jerk the rod, reel up slack

[granite estuary]

This is my rod

[keen shale]

Gotta stop start the frog like a frog would move

[granite estuary]

But the reel does not work that well

May just say f it and get an expensive baitcast reel lol

[twilit wren]

LG 38” ultra gear

[granite estuary]

and end up hating my self

[keen shale]

I'd keep the rod

just get a decent spincast reel for it

[granite estuary]

can you use spincast reels with a baitcast rod?

[keen shale]

Is it a short stubby one?

[granite estuary]

it's got the wholes on the top

and they are not very big holes

[keen shale]

No I meant is it like 4 feet long or more like 6 feet?

[granite estuary]

6"6

6'6"

[keen shale]

OH yeah, the eye sizes don't really matter

[granite estuary]

I mean

oh okay

I want

[granite estuary]

Yeah I am not sure sorry

[keen shale]

I always preferred the spinning reels

Open reel seems to bird nest less

[granite estuary]

I like the accuracy you can get out of a baitcaster

and distance if you're using it properly

[keen shale]

Can do it with a spin reel too if you use your finger on the line

[granite estuary]

Yeah

I'll get a spincast reel too

Have both going

[keen shale]

For the most part, a rod is a rod, the reel is preference

Except don't put a reel on a fly rod, doesn't work well

[granite estuary]

😂

this brand any good

[keen shale]

Okuma is good yeah

For the bass though, for poppers just remember to jerk and reel slack, that's the big thing

[granite estuary]

What cheap rod is good for bass / trout

[keen shale]

For shads, need to reel in at a decent speed so it acts like a scared fish

[granite estuary]

I think I will get that reel and then rod

[keen shale]

Keep the rod, get a more easy to use reel and try some different lures.

[granite estuary]

then have a baitcaster and spincaster going at the same time lol

is higher or lower drag pressure better

[keen shale]

medium is better, you want just enough tension so when they hit it sets the hook but not too little that they just run away with it

[granite estuary]

ah okay

I have about 5 rods next to me that ive been given lol

not sure if any of them are okay

[keen shale]

Get some different colored shads too, they may not like silver but might hit on green for example

[granite estuary]

Damn I did not even think about that

[keen shale]

Just remember too that if you're using a popper or a frog they'll tend to bite on the slack, not the jerk

So don't jerk too hard or you'll rip the hook out of their mouth

[granite estuary]

fishing is hard

[keen shale]

Nah, just takes practice like anything else

[granite estuary]

Only thing I wish is I didn't buy a baitcaster

[keen shale]

Decent reels are fairly cheap so it's a fairly cheap mistake in the grand scheme of things

~$50 should get you a decent reel

[tranquil pebble]

found a very viable Ranger strategy in EDF... one up close shredding weapon + a sniper. Enemy wants to rush me? RIP to that enemy. Enemy really far away? Sniper time until it gets close then I finish it off with the close range weapon if needed.

[granite estuary]

my rod was $60 canadian

for the rod and reel

[keen shale]

Ah, Canada bucks will change things a bit

Oh, one more thing

Make sure the reel you get is rated for the fish weight you want to catch. It varies from 6 lb drag to like 20

6 lb drag with bass is a bit low

[granite estuary]

how the heck do I know that

[keen shale]

It says on the reel box

or in the specs

[granite estuary]

oh the rod?

[keen shale]

No, the reel itself

hang on

[granite estuary]

mine says

80yds/12lb

[keen shale]

Ah, that's the capacity and the line rating

It'll hold 80 yards of 12 lb line

Lighter line, holds more, heavier line, holds less

This reel for example, last pic lists the models and the drag ratings

https://www.amazon.ca/Okuma-Ceymar-Lightweight-Spinning-C-30/dp/B00LDYL556/

[granite estuary]

oh

[keen shale]

You'll probably want the C-30 or c-40

[granite estuary]

I bought my rod in person so I am not sure what it is

[keen shale]

13 lb drag rating

[icy ore]

Oh hey we’re fishing rn

Just got a couple

[granite estuary]

I was fishing earlier today

until I caught a tree

[icy ore]

Lmao story of my life

[granite estuary]

and got the worst birds nest I have ever seen in my life

[keen shale]

Story of every fishermans life

I've lost more flies in trees than riverbeds

[granite estuary]

took 30 minutes to fix my rod

my rod is only rated for 12lb lines

I have 50 lbs in it right now

whoops

[keen shale]

This is some of my collection

[granite estuary]

damn

[keen shale]

I has another box with more

[granite estuary]

I have very few lures

Not really sure what to buy

[keen shale]

If you're going for bass, shads and poppers

[granite estuary]

I have 2 frogs 2 spoons

What fish like spoons

[keen shale]

Trout and kokanee

Some salmon

So, Bass eat other fish and frogs, etc

so you want your lure to look like a smaller fish

or a frog

[granite estuary]

ok cool

thanks

[keen shale]

Big bass might hit on mice

[granite estuary]

mice?

[keen shale]

They also eat crayfish, so sometimes those work too

Yeah, in some areas bass will hit on mouse lures lol

[rancid juniper]

Dumb realistic expectations + sims

Terrible mix

[granite estuary]

did not know they eat mice lol

[icy ore]

Nice I like that tackle box

[keen shale]

Bass are carnivores

[icy ore]

Mine is a mess

[granite estuary]

yeah

[keen shale]

It's a fly box so the flies are easy to organize

not like traditional lures

[granite estuary]

I just wouldn't think they'd have many opportunities to catch a mouse

[icy ore]

Ah never fly fished

[keen shale]

It's interesting

[icy ore]

Can’t even comprehend it lol

[keen shale]

Started 2 years ago on a whim and here we are

[icy ore]

The line is weighted right?

[keen shale]

Not always

Depends on if you want floating or sinking line

The majority of the line is thick, the tippet (last 6-9 feet) is regular monofilament

[granite estuary]

what are the advantages to a baitcaster if a spinning reel can do the same things without the hassel

[keen shale]

I honestly don't know, I hated baitcaster so didn't use it

My brother in law is a wizard with them though, I can't comprehend

[icy ore]

Yeah my buddy is too

I can’t lol

I just use a spinning rod

[keen shale]

I believe that given that most of the good fishermen use them for bass and other things

For trout, spin or fly is the way to go

[granite estuary]

I love my baitcaster when it doesn’t backlash

[keen shale]

I think that's cause by the line crossing over itself?

[granite estuary]

It’s when it’s like casting faster than its spooling kinda

Idk

That’s also a cause

Honestly I feel like part of my issue is due to a cheap reel

Probably wrong

[keen shale]

It could be, could also be you've only gone fishing 4 times

[granite estuary]

Probably 😂

[keen shale]

My first fime fly fishing was a hot mess lol

[granite estuary]

I was watching a video on how to tune it

And it’s like turn the breaks completely off and let the lure fall

Did that

Lure did not fall at all

[keen shale]

oh

[granite estuary]

Had to like pull it up and like jerk it to get my lure to fall

And it was a spoon and a little weight so not like it is light

[keen shale]

It was snagged up inside or sometimes there's a piece of tape on it to keep it from unraveling from the factory

[granite estuary]

Oh I put new line on it

[keen shale]

Ah, probably just a bit tight then and needed some persuasion

[granite estuary]

I was having a good day today no backlash

(Until I caught a tree)

[keen shale]

I've probably lost 2 dozen flies so far to trees

[granite estuary]

I lost a frog to a tree

That’s it so far

Lost 3 lures my first day fishing though

[keen shale]

Yeah, that's called the beginners fee

Gotta feed the trees

[granite estuary]

Not to trees

To logs in the lake

Or roots

[keen shale]

ohhhh

I hate snags

[granite estuary]

It’s fine though

I caught 2 lures the next day

[keen shale]

One nice thing about fly fishing is they float

[granite estuary]

Yeah I’ll probably try fly fishing if I can find a cheap rod

Appears to be a more expensive fishing method

[velvet summit]

what is fly fishing

[granite estuary]

Fishing with a fly

[keen shale]

A PITA to learn but rewarding when you catch something

[granite estuary]

It’s way more technical like you are catching fish based off what they’re eating

[keen shale]

Long rod, no weights, special line and the flies look like insects that float on the water

[granite estuary]

Not off their predatory natures

[keen shale]

Fly fishing on a great day https://www.youtube.com/shorts/sbyKw6COcUw

[velvet summit]

damn

[granite estuary]

I wonder how long till I catch a fish

[keen shale]

Go get some shads and try those, I have more luck with those than frogs

And not the segmented shads, the wiggly silicone like ones

[granite estuary]

Okay

I shall try that

[keen shale]

Kinda like these https://www.amazon.com/TRUSCEND-Pre-Rigged-Swimming-Freshwater-Saltwater/dp/B08HMPT3JH

Just remeber to keep them moving and reeling in so they don't drop too far

[granite estuary]

My first day I may have let my lure drop to the bottom to see what would happen

Safe to say the lake gained a lure

[keen shale]

I was gonna say, rocks be hungry

[granite estuary]

I may get some hip waders

[keen shale]

Shouldn't need those for bass, they prefer the edges and especially weeds or anything they can hide under like logs, etc

UNder bridges, around pylons, docks, bank overhangs,

[granite estuary]

What are hip waders for

[craggy shoal]

bruh my Instagram comment has 142K likes lmao

[craggy shoal]

waders that go up to your hips

[granite estuary]

Yes

[keen shale]

Hip waders are typically for fly fishermen that need to get into the river to cast

we can have like 60 feet of line moving in the air, need a lot of room

Banks arent great

[granite estuary]

I really want to try fly fish

But I’m just scared I’ll hate it

And waste money

[keen shale]

Oh, you might hate it at first, I did. But a little practice made it better

[proud jackal]

Because that's an LCD screen not RGB led

[granite estuary]

Huh

My aio is rgb

I don’t have a fancy screen aio

[proud jackal]

Really

[keen shale]

It might have actualy white LED's tho

[granite estuary]

He’s

Yes

[keen shale]

instead of red green blue

[granite estuary]

It’s just a plastic cover

Oh

[proud jackal]

[granite estuary]

Me

[proud jackal]

Old pc

[granite estuary]

I’m not fancy

I got my AIO open box from my local pc store for $50 Canadian lol

[mortal grail]

Coarse hair 😝

[craggy shoal]

ew Corsair

[keen shale]

Don't mind my 3 Corsair Maglev 140's then 😉

[granite estuary]

I have random fans in my pc 😎

[mortal grail]

Those love to tell you when your cpu is working hard 💀

[keen shale]

Nah, all case fans are at 60 percent including aio fans.

Only turn it up if I'm benchmarking

[mortal grail]

Ya but above that

I know cos I had maglev corsairs

[craggy shoal]

I don't use Corsair :)

[mortal grail]

Loud af fans

Arctic ftw

Gimme 600 rpm dead silence pls

[craggy shoal]

I want Lian Li Unifans

lol

[sinful blade]

Felix

[craggy shoal]

Felix, tell me why I shouldn't get Lian Li Unifans

[sinful blade]

You know how garbage Mercari is right

Found in my spam box

All the times I’ve told people where else to find me lmao

[craggy shoal]

Mercari

Warning: Prohibited Conduct

...of the Mercari community! We're...to make Mercari a safe marketplace.

like ok

[sinful blade]

Maybe don’t make your site absolute cancer to buy from:)

[nocturne flicker]

Make it worse you say? We can do that

[sinful blade]

They already have

[nocturne flicker]

But we can make it worse

[keen shale]

I wanna say my Noctuas I put on the aio rad are louder. Most of the time they all run between 50-60% and it's quiet

[granite estuary]

I definitely made a booboo when I built my pc

Cannot control my aio fans colour

[craggy shoal]

get OpenRGB

[granite estuary]

What’s that

[craggy shoal]

https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=What+is+OpenRGB

bro probably configuring OpenRGB rn

[fervent stump]

Does the glorious model O have custom rgb or is it just rainbow?

[craggy shoal]

idk I don't buy overrated mice

[fervent stump]

:c

[fervent stump]

But it’s nice trust

[craggy shoal]

There's no way they wouldn't let you configure it

probably comes with software

[storm narwhal]

It should

[fervent stump]

I bought it like 1 year ago

[storm narwhal]

Keychron has qmk/via

Its a web app that only works in chrome but arguably that's better

[granite estuary]

No my pc is turned off

I’m sitting on my bed watching it’s always sunny in Philadelphia

You know what I’ve learnt

[craggy shoal]

bruh I want a Uniden R7 so bad

[granite estuary]

Corsair makes an insanely strong keyboard

[craggy shoal]

But I don't even have my car rn :/

[granite estuary]

I’ve spilt juice on it

I’ve beat the crap out of it

[craggy shoal]

ew

[granite estuary]

It still works

Not sure how

My keyboard is my punching bag

[storm narwhal]

I think that's just most keyboards lol

[granite estuary]

Ew is right

[fervent stump]

I could accidentally break it by looking at it to much my luck is bad

[craggy shoal]

nah your keyboard is just cheap if you can punch it and it breaks lol

[granite estuary]

My keyboard was cheap

It was $30 Canadian

[craggy shoal]

I want to sell my Corsair keyboard

[fervent stump]

I love my keyboard a lot but I also hate it just as much but maybe even more

[keen shale]

Had a Corsair. Like my Red dragon much more

[granite estuary]

Red dragon

[fervent stump]

I love corsair keyboards but I lost some keys sadly

[storm narwhal]

Red dragon honestly isn't bad loll

[granite estuary]

I want a custom keyboard

[craggy shoal]

Nicher brand = better keyboard
Just imo

[granite estuary]

Too poor

[light egret]

red dragon keyboards are dope

[fervent stump]

Does Corsair make white keyboarfs

[granite estuary]

Probably

[craggy shoal]

Please don't get a Corsair

[fervent stump]

Whyyyyyy

[storm narwhal]

They're pretty crappy

Let's be honest

[craggy shoal]

They're hidious and feel like junk

[fervent stump]

I loved mine

It was the best

[granite estuary]

I mean I have a Corsair and it’s not horrible

[storm narwhal]

Once you use any decent keyboard and compare

[keen shale]

Love the volume roller on mine plus the keys

[storm narwhal]

You'll see

[fervent stump]

YES THATS WHY

VOLUME

[keen shale]

Corsair ain't the only one. Much better keebs out there

[craggy shoal]

I paid $120 for my K65 Lux when I've also gotten two Keychrons for the same total price and they're both much nicer

[storm narwhal]

Keychrons are honestly a great starting ground

[fervent stump]

yea but I just liked mine I’ve had it for so long

[craggy shoal]

That's gotta be the weakest reason I've heard for buying a Corsair 💀

[light egret]

Mine is fairly basic and every specialty key is accessed by the FN key but I got mine years ago and never heard of em and it was a cherry key mechanical keyboard for 20 bucks lol

Never went back

[craggy shoal]

Keychron has a volume knob and you can change it to do whatever you want

[fervent stump]

:c but it was soo nice

[light egret]

I do want one of the ones with more stuff on it

[keen shale]

[craggy shoal]

Get a Keychron and you'll change your mind

There's even nicer than Keychron lmao

[keen shale]

Gah, silly mobile but that's what I have

[fervent stump]

:o

[opaque sedge]

The devs are cruel for not making this a dedicated side quest

[storm narwhal]

Oh for sure

Keychron is just introductory

[fervent stump]

Do they have a white one

[light egret]

I need that but with a num pad

[craggy shoal]

it's Redragon so probably no white

[fervent stump]

NOOO it’s beautiful

[storm narwhal]

Maybe not on that model

[keen shale]

Oops wrong one mine has a 10 key

Brb

[fervent stump]

What’s a G key?

[granite estuary]

What are fun games right now

[craggy shoal]

A lot of Redragons have goofy ahh Outemu switches 🤮

[light egret]

they have white keyboards

[storm narwhal]

Yeah not for this one no white

[fervent stump]

Roblox genshin impact and beamng

[storm narwhal]

Also eugh 5 pin outemu

Or was it wonky 3 pin

[granite estuary]

I play dirt rally 2.0

[storm narwhal]

I think it was wonky 3 pin

[opaque sedge]

Solid indeed

[light egret]

https://redragonshop.com/products/yama-k550 this one comes in black or white

[keen shale]

This is what I have. 10nkwy with volume

[storm narwhal]

I foam and tape modded my keychron k2 and it already sounds much better than stock haha

Jank ass insulation foam, but

[craggy shoal]

I love my Keychron

[storm narwhal]

I don't have a recent pic oops

[craggy shoal]

Corsair = clacky
Keychron = Thock from factory

[light egret]

that looks espensiv

[craggy shoal]

There's maybe like $180 put into this keyboard

[light egret]

yeh well not all of us can be richy mcgees over here

[craggy shoal]

Sounds about right maybe

Oh nah I didn't buy all the parts all at once lol

[light egret]

although I totally would do that lmao

[storm narwhal]

Imagine lol

[craggy shoal]

Just money spent over time making this keeb what I want it to be

I really wanna build a $500 keyboard though (I really don't have the money for this and it's an entirely bad idea)

[fervent stump]

Sold

[light egret]

I couldn't fathom having a $500 keyboard

[fervent stump]

I’m buying it soon

[craggy shoal]

sounds better in person too

[opaque sedge]

Damn what keycaps are those? The default ones are ugly ngl

[light egret]

I might try to swing that keyboard too after this trip if I have enouhg left over lol

[opaque sedge]

For me the feel was the most important

This v1 felt the most solid to me

Like i could tell when i hit the key and the action happens

[craggy shoal]

Some Higround Snowstone dupe that was about half the price

[storm narwhal]

Reds best for gaming

My fingers actually don't hurt after using em for hours

[opaque sedge]

I think the sound on mine is mid

[craggy shoal]

I game with heavy tactiles lol. I get a finger workout every time I play anything

[opaque sedge]

I think the v1 is red switches right?

[storm narwhal]

Lmao I gave up on the finger workout

[craggy shoal]

whatever you got

[storm narwhal]

But I also just had browns LOL

55g vs 45g

[light egret]

I have browns and I like em

[storm narwhal]

Browns feel good for typing

Too much to hold down constantly tho for me

[keen shale]

I gotta pull a key cap to see what switches I have, can't remember

[craggy shoal]

How about an Epomaker EK21 sound? Factory thocc

[light egret]

the only noticeable difference I feel between reds and browns is the amount of audibility of the clicks

[storm narwhal]

Yo is that the keychron numpad

[craggy shoal]

Epomaker EK21

[craggy shoal]

You have to get those heavy tactiles, like the Boba U4t switches

[light egret]

iunno that sounds like it cost money

[storm narwhal]

Lol I just got that keychron numpad

K0

[craggy shoal]

I want a K0 but I couldn't justify the price so I got an EK21 instead

[storm narwhal]

Fair

Oh no it's the q0

[craggy shoal]

Oh yeah that one

I knew what you meant though

[storm narwhal]

The one without the knob lol

Maybe I should gotten an ek21 instead

[craggy shoal]

I want this one
https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-q0-max-qmk-custom-number-pad

[storm narwhal]

Same

[velvet summit]

same with audio
(kinda)

[craggy shoal]

Nicher brand + higher price = better audio

lmao

(right?)

[velvet summit]

true

ish

[craggy shoal]

lol

more accurate at least

[velvet summit]

there are still some niche brands that are aiming for making the most crazy looking headphones that dont really crack up to the price point

though that's also the same with keebs

[granite estuary]

Hi

I’m back

[velvet summit]

hello back

[granite estuary]

Thanks

[craggy shoal]

Wassup back

[granite estuary]

Not much

Watching it’s always sunny in Philadelphia
