[misty sparrow]

I wonder if I can replace the phone line jacks in the rooms of my house with ethernet

[craggy shoal]

More than likely. I'd imagine it would be a lot easier if they're already RJ-45 ports

[misty sparrow]

I need to check

If it isn’t though can I just run a new ethernet cable through it

[craggy shoal]

Yeah that's kinda how I have my Ethernet setup. It's just a cable going through my wall lol

[misty sparrow]

Yeah I think the cables n stuff run through my attic too

Would I need to get a shielded cable or no?

[craggy shoal]

Probably not unless you're routing several cables right next to each other

[misty sparrow]

I’m not lol

[craggy shoal]

Shieldless is probably fine

[misty sparrow]

Good thing too, there’s this cheap 50foot cable on Amazon right now

so thankfully I don’t need to do shielded

[icy ore]

[misty sparrow]

actually nvm it doesn’t look like a good cable

it’s flat

[craggy shoal]

ew

[misty sparrow]

They got a 200ft round version though

$60

Price looks sus

[craggy shoal]

sounds about right

[misty sparrow]

nvm then lol

[craggy shoal]

What I wish I did was get a box of patch UTP cable and a termination kit

^^ best practice tbh

Which btw you'll probably need a termination kit anyways if you're using a patch panel

Unless you just put an unmanaged switch in a closet somewhere in your house and just get pre-terminated cables

[misty sparrow]

I am new to this kinda stuff so I guess I’ll try to figure everything out before I do it

[velvet summit]

unless you're running patch cables parallel to power cables, no

if running cable through the attic, it's better to buy bulk cable and terminate it yourself

[misty sparrow]

alright

What if a normal cable is about the same price as a bulk cable though

?

[wary fjord]

same

[spark halo]

https://tenor.com/view/happy-frank-gif-27028881

[dusk knot]

Lmao.

[velvet summit]

might just be made cheaper or smth idk

for in wall installation, use solid core patch cable because usually that's cheaper

the "normal" cable could be made of cca instead of pure copper potentially?

Holy

7700XT and 7800XT can get 4 games with purchase until August 31st

[cedar compass]

[rancid juniper]

not bad

[modern imp]

Raptor didn't run that hot if you had a frame

regardless Arrow is low PL1 and high PL2

I was reclining on a car chair chilling
Then somebody that used to be in this server randomly popped into my mind

Now my mood is ruined

It was the person that admitted to like setting the tip for Uber eats or smth really high and then taking it away after the food arrived

[wraith bay]

Why is shipping 1/3 of my PSU's value for an RMA?

[velvet summit]

Normally RMAs are free?

[rancid juniper]

yay

[opaque sedge]

Looks at my 7900xt, “useless crap, didn’t even come with a single game…”

[devout forum]

NGL

I'm not entirely sure even that makes the 7800XT worth it

Maybe upgrading from a 6700XT like mine

[opaque sedge]

Tru games go on sale all the time and considering the performance bump u get from the next gpu the gre then yh

[devout forum]

TBF at 1440p

The difference isn't that massive iirc

[proud jackal]

[devout forum]

It's measurable yes
But not always obvious maybe

[grand kernel]

hmm intel charges $25 for advance rma

should I do it...

[proud jackal]

What are you rmaing

[devout forum]

Also can I say this

Wukong is an absolute meme

It's been given away with nGreedAI graphics cards and it runs even on them like garbage (unless you use both DLSS and FG)

[grand kernel]

13700k

[nocturne flicker]

Could be worse. Mine came with Starfield

[opaque sedge]

Oh its out

[proud jackal]

What was wrong with it

[opaque sedge]

Does it run bad on amd cards as well?

[proud jackal]

I want to start testing if my 13900k is defective

[devout forum]

I didn't get any games with my 6700XT

Which kinda blows

[nocturne flicker]

Best part is stereotypical Jewish guy who calls you a goy

[grand kernel]

it's crashing very rarely and gets all sort of application errors in the background

[devout forum]

Oh absolutely

[grand kernel]

think it's starting to go south

[devout forum]

It runs like crap on everything

[grand kernel]

but ive had it under manual controlled voltage since i got it 😦

[devout forum]

It's just unoptimized as hecc

[opaque sedge]

Damn even a 4090?

[devout forum]

4070 Ti Super at 4k
26fps native on ultra

Not even FG saves that one

[opaque sedge]

Sounds like modern games are gonna be unoptimized every time on release nowadays

[opaque sedge]

I mean 4k…

[devout forum]

Nah they gonna be unoptimized always nowadays

DLSS and FG in itself IS the optimization

[grand kernel]

whats the point of running 4k ultra native

[opaque sedge]

Wbt 1440p?

[devout forum]

IIRC less than 60 (don't quote tho)

[opaque sedge]

👁️👄👁️

[grand kernel]

just run dlss quality no?

[devout forum]

Lots of people complaining it runs like trash

[opaque sedge]

But wbt amd users 😭

(Wasn’t even planning on getting it)

[grand kernel]

I mean fsr works

it might be slightly worse but it works

[devout forum]

Yeah my 6700XT probably wouldn't even make a slideshow out of it lmao

[opaque sedge]

3 seems to be somewhat decent but 2 absolutely sucks

[grand kernel]

you knew you were buying into a worse feature set in exchange for higher raw raster perf/$

[proud jackal]

@grand kernel what was the RMA process

[grand kernel]

it was pretty easy

[proud jackal]

Do they have to test the cpu

[grand kernel]

sent a ticket they asked me a few questions and asked me to run a scanning tool

then they confirmed it's defective and offered me standard RMA for free or advance RMA for $25

[proud jackal]

Scanning tool available to everyone?

[grand kernel]

yeah

[devout forum]

Counterpoint:
End users shouldn't be forced to use upscaling or frame gen just to get playable framerates at the resolution your card is advertised for

[opaque sedge]

Tru I didn’t wanna pay 800 bucks for a tis then 600 for a 4070s when the 7900xt was just 90 bucks more

[proud jackal]

Link pls

[dusk knot]

Hhh

[proud jackal]

[grand kernel]

well the architecture is 2 years old now

and did they ever market the 4070 as a card for 4k native?

pretty sure they've been using dlss in their marketing

[proud jackal]

Pls link

[grand kernel]

they send you a link to it when you send a ticket

[devout forum]

cuz without DLSS you get sub-30 lmao

[grand kernel]

just send a ticket first

[devout forum]

Now that's a joke

[proud jackal]

Ok

[devout forum]

But it's closer to reality than it has any right to be

[grand kernel]

ok but who is buying the card to not use dlss in games that support it

[nocturne flicker]

Me. 1080p gaming for life

[devout forum]

Why is nobody upset that DLSS is the crutch to charge AAA game price and not have to do anything resembling AAA game work

[grand kernel]

I mean imo dlss just works so I have nothing to be upset about

💀

it's not like amd and nvidia haven't used rendering tricks to squeeze performance in the past

not sure what sets dlss/fsr apart

[worn wave]

Oh I'm quite upset about the continued reliance on upscalers (not just dlss/fsr but TAA as well)

[grand kernel]

heck consoles have been relying on upscaling for forever

[nocturne flicker]

Or you know, straight up lied

[grand kernel]

yep

[devout forum]

That's a different topic tbf

[grand kernel]

is it?

[devout forum]

What I mean is

My issue is that with CURRENT GEN hardware you are forced to use upscaling and/or frame gen just to get playable framerates on cards that cost the same as halo cards cost just 3 years ago

It's not an old POS thing you're too stubborn to get rid of and want to get some more use out of

[grand kernel]

the 4070ti super doesn't cost the same as a 3090ti lol

[devout forum]

This is (supposedly) what you're meant to upgrade to

[grand kernel]

also, ultra settings used to be targeted at future hardware and were barely/unplayable on launch hardware

[nocturne flicker]

3 years ago you were paying 3k for a 3090ti

[grand kernel]

but now ultra has become the expectation I guess

[devout forum]

It's not a Matrix 4090

[grand kernel]

4070ti super is on a 2 year old architecture and this game is coming out now

[proud jackal]

[devout forum]

I guess I'm the only one then

[grand kernel]

I'm on the fence about FG personally but I don't see downsides to enabling DLSS especially if you're pushing 4K

I haven't seen any visual downgrades from DLSS quality even at 1440p

[devout forum]

Well then I guess we didn't look at the same DLSS

Good for you

[grand kernel]

heck, DLSS quality even looks better than some poor AA implementations at native

[devout forum]

Here comes the self-gaslighting lmfao

[nocturne flicker]

Do you not remember the scalping years? :PepeRealizes:

[worn wave]

Saying dlss looks better than TAA isn't saying much lmao

[devout forum]

At this point I'm not even sure what's real and what isn't anymore

[grand kernel]

yeah I mean

some TAA implementations look like vomit

[nocturne flicker]

Nothing is real

[devout forum]

Everything's dogwater in life lately, it all kinda blends together

[grand kernel]

I don't understand this comment

[nocturne flicker]

We are all on a tiny insignificant rock floating in an endless void

[grand kernel]

why is it self-gaslighting to think DLSS is a good feature

💀

[devout forum]

You kinda have to really look for bad native AA

It's not like every anti-aliasing is bad

[grand kernel]

I also kinda have to really look for bad DLSS

what's the difference

[devout forum]

I've seen plenty of bad DLSS here and there

Again I guess we're looking at different things

[worn wave]

No you don't looooollll TAA is everywhere and looks like early dlss/fsr in terms of blur in motion

[proud jackal]

I wonder if Intel will RMA this tray CPU also

[grand kernel]

good luck soldier

my 13700k was boxed

[proud jackal]

13900k was boxed. 14900k wasnt

[grand kernel]

boxed cpu should be an easy rma dunno about tray

[proud jackal]

Did you advance rma

[grand kernel]

I'm thinking about it

I don't want to be without my main pc for a whole week so I probably will

feels dumb to pay $25 for rma though

too bad I don't still have my i3-12100 laying around

i3-12100 + 4080 benchmarks would be hilarious

only other desktop cpu I have at home right now is a 1500x and I don't think I want to daily that for a week

💀

it would be fun to see how well the 1500x could handle b-die on a crap board

gigabyte b450m ds3h wifi

legendary in the overclocking space

[proud jackal]

Did you tell Intel that you don't oc it or use oc ram

[grand kernel]

yeah i also set bios back to default before running the scanner

cause it checks your cpu/ram speed

funny thing is my oc settings are safer than the intel stock settings

with default settings i can see voltages as high as 1.5v

with my oc settings maximum is 1.38v

[fervent stump]

Hi guys

[rancid juniper]

have you tried the new bios msi posted?

i haven't

both still beta bioses

dang your cpu got rekt, glad it was a quick rma

[sinful blade]

I’m gonna rma myself

There’s definitely something wrong with me

[north crescent]

The joys of game hardware utilization stagnating like crazy for so long. Made people think that 1080Ti was insanely special when it was only a bit special, only a bit above average generational perf improvement.

[tranquil pebble]

Valve is using ML as a tool rather than a means of replacing their moderators (Quora went the replace mods route and it failed horribly).

[fervent stump]

I like it

[tranquil pebble]

reminds me of Hifi Rush

[misty sparrow]

i kind of feel like the funny reviews were a bit part of steam's culture but ok i guess

[modern imp]

is it VCCSA degradation? you are on DDR4 right?

[modern imp]

are you talking about the cinematic preset?

that's normally a hidden option that isn't used in unreal engine games for a reason

[modern imp]

it really wasn't that good outside of a perf increase

it didn't have any major changes over maxwell at all

[rancid juniper]

i think he was using DDR4

[opaque sedge]

What are gateron keyboard switches like?

[craggy shoal]

The second worse switch (next to Cherry MX)

[opaque sedge]

Seems like keychron uses their own switches for their keyboards around the 100 buck range, but gateron for their expensive 200 buck ones

[craggy shoal]

Yeah I didn't like the Gaterons on the RK keyboards I had a while back

[opaque sedge]

Wbt the ones keychron make?

[craggy shoal]

I really like Keychron's in-house switches (I think they're in-house)

[opaque sedge]

They have their name so its prolly inhouse

Unless its some rebranding thing here

[craggy shoal]

Yeah I really like them. They're good starter switches

If you're doing a lot of working at your computer while also doing a lot of first-person gaming, get the Browns. They're tactile enough to let you type and know what you're typing while also light enough to be quick while gaming

Or if just gaming, get Reds (I haven't used their Reds but I'd imagine they're good)

[opaque sedge]

Damn dont look that expensive either

[opaque sedge]

Already have the reds

[craggy shoal]

I haven't tried the Banana switches

Aren't they tactile?

[opaque sedge]

Awesome feel but pretty much the only mech keyboard i have used

[craggy shoal]

Kinda wanna try them lol

[opaque sedge]

Mints seem to be very well received

I mean they’re literally called mints so probably freshen up the user too

[craggy shoal]

mint asf

[opaque sedge]

Sounds kind of weird ngl

https://youtu.be/yMyFXpRABF0?si=haluHM4XZXUwiEpU

The banana and mints i mean

[velvet summit]

Afaik gateron manufacturers the switches for keychron for their brand

im surprised they have not failed yet

[velvet summit]

[velvet summit]

Ive been using a razer keyboard for like 6 years and somehow none of the switches have died yet

[fervent stump]

Omg so cool

[silver sparrow]

yeah i have the blackwidow elite

[velvet summit]

I have the black widow chroma v2

Back when I thought RGB was cool

Nowadays I just have the RGB turned off

[silver sparrow]

oh its just lit up under the keys

i was trying to figure out what the difference was

[velvet summit]

Lmfao

Yeah north facing rgb

[silver sparrow]

that is just so little extra rgb its so pointless

i just want my keys to be lit up

[velvet summit]

I don't even look at my keyboard

I barely even look at my phone keyboard lmfao

I just stare at the text box to see if I'm typing things correctly

[silver sparrow]

and i have it just going through these colors

i mean same here, its just a nice little effect

[velvet summit]

When did the black widow elite come out? The black widow chroma v2 came out in like, 2016 or 17 or smth

[silver sparrow]

probably 2018

like theres wireless keyboards and stuff, but like why do i need that

[chrome mirage]

My mom is out camping and she sent me a giant list of things she forgot and now my tiny sports car is completely full.

[silver sparrow]

when i replace my keyboard ima get something that THOCKS

whats your tiny sports car? a miata?

[velvet summit]

Just do some foraging frfr

[chrome mirage]

Why does she need a wagon

[velvet summit]

Tbh I like my click clacks

The feel and sound of the IBM model f is just glorious

[silver sparrow]

i got the orange tactile switches

[velvet summit]

A what

How would you use a wagon while camping

This isn't the Oregon trail

[silver sparrow]

wagons are very usefull

much space inside

[velvet summit]

What would you use it for

While camping

[silver sparrow]

probably hauling everything

[velvet summit]

Tarp/cloth and rope

[silver sparrow]

i think we are not on the same type of wagon

[velvet summit]

Idk, there's so many types of wagons

[silver sparrow]

im talkin station wagon

[velvet summit]

Oh

[silver sparrow]

vehicle

[velvet summit]

A car

[silver sparrow]

yes

[velvet summit]

That won't fit in a sports car

[silver sparrow]

well i heard "why does she need a wagon" and though why wouldnt you want a station wagon

[velvet summit]

Idk if he's referring to a station wagon or one of those little foldable wagon things

[silver sparrow]

now after rereading it i realised i just mentally skipped context

[sinful blade]

I’m such a fan of imagine wagons

[velvet summit]

Real

[sinful blade]

I hate imagine dragons though

[velvet summit]

Their song wheelyactive is great

Whatever it carries

[opaque sedge]

Bro’s gonna become enlightened like buddha when he discovers 1440p

[craggy shoal]

There's a lot of just O11 builds. It makes me want to get a new case now 💀

[mortal grail]

Me literally rn

My evo is in pieces, swapping to dan

[craggy shoal]

Now I’m thinking the O11 is the GT3 RS of cases 💀😭

[opaque sedge]

Nah like u have to be a person who can observe small details to find out whats wrong with that place

[mortal grail]

I think the only o11 I still like is the air mini

Air mini is just...good

You have no 360 rad support, that's the only catch

[opaque sedge]

Those pieces of crap literally spend more on their case fans and cooler than their goddamn gpu

[craggy shoal]

I’m just scrolling through it. If I stayed for a while I bet I can find exactly wym

Fr $80 fans lmao

Still kinda want them because they’re wireless daisy-chainable

[mortal grail]

It really isn't worth

[opaque sedge]

Like this dude who upgraded his aesthetics before his gpu

[mortal grail]

I had unifans, they lasted the shortest time with me

[opaque sedge]

When i saw this i wished someone would kill me

[mortal grail]

Man didn't actually spend too much

[craggy shoal]

The nucleus is egh

Aorus b650 ice

Vision isn't too expensive rn

[velvet summit]

saturation/contrast ratio may also be better on the newer monitor that isnt from 2008 💀

[mortal grail]

Vengeance is egh

He spent probably, 200-250 on aesthetics

[opaque sedge]

What do u prefer? Teamgroup?

[craggy shoal]

He said it's the same TV. I think he's just an idiot

[mortal grail]

Teamgroup is a good one, really the cheapest with a good IC

[opaque sedge]

Huh that’s pretty tame ngl

G skill?

[mortal grail]

Sure, prefer not them tho

[sinful blade]

T force is usually fine

[mortal grail]

Wouldn't stop me from buying but I would be a hipster just cos I know how meh their designs are functionally

[sinful blade]

Vulcan is what fiancés pc uses

Oloy is a sleeper pick though

[mortal grail]

I would be ok with like, klevv, tg, adata, kingston, silicon power, oloy etc

[opaque sedge]

For an aesthetic upgrade i would probably just get smth like this tho,

[mortal grail]

As long as the ic is good

[opaque sedge]

Think its like 160 bucks with the fans

And believe they’re 140mm

[mortal grail]

New meta is the xt view or montech xr

$60-$80

[opaque sedge]

That looks like smth a microcenter salesmen would trick a new pc builder who hasn’t consulted with felix to buy

I wha

[opaque sedge]

A microcenter employee definitely didn’t try to sell me a nzxt fishtank case

If this was 1cm taller I'd have bought it yesterday and ditched my other loop

Everyone bullied it when I first posted it
So now I’ve made it my goal to actually use it

Just glad felix convinced me to order the 903 air before this, was a very close call

[craggy shoal]

Time for a new case. Gonna give my gf this O11 though. She'd love it

[mortal grail]

Oh yeah I can see the bad spending on this

[tranquil pebble]

The moderation isnt being applied to funny reviews, but ones that are spam, scam links etc. Funny reviews are not only allowed but kinda encouraged.

[mortal grail]

This one is way more like $500+ on aesthetics

[craggy shoal]

I didn’t spend extra on white extensions though (yet)

[mortal grail]

Then he got an xtx

Make the math on that one 💀

[opaque sedge]

Is that the 4070super?

U spent

[craggy shoal]

Yes

[mortal grail]

Nah motor is a closet pcmr

[opaque sedge]

700 bucks on a strix 4070super?

[mortal grail]

He got the 4070 ti super mobile strix

[opaque sedge]

👁️👄👁️

[craggy shoal]

Heck no 💀

[craggy shoal]

Nah my mom got it

[opaque sedge]

Ok atleast its a tis

[mortal grail]

Ur mom is then

[craggy shoal]

My mommy bot it for me 👶

[mortal grail]

R u winnin hon'?

[opaque sedge]

Still could have gotten a 4080s for the strix 4070tis money prolly

[mortal grail]

I can't remember which one it is

Nvidia has too many 70 cards

[opaque sedge]

Whats with these strix cards anyways? Why are they 100-200 bucks marked up more than msrp?

[craggy shoal]

Fr I keep forgetting that the 4070 Ti Super exists. I should've at least gotten that

[mortal grail]

Charging premium for brand name

[opaque sedge]

Oh right rog is their premium stuff while tuf is basic

[mortal grail]

Like strix is still good, but it's definitely not a value buy

[craggy shoal]

Yeah I probably won't get another Asus (especially given apparently they break your computer after opening OpenRGB)

[mortal grail]

Meanwhile tuf is lowkey good this gen

again

[opaque sedge]

[mortal grail]

But the pricing is wild

One day it's the cheapest

Next it's almost the most expensive

[mortal grail]

WDL WDL WDL WDL

[opaque sedge]

More volatile than crypto

[craggy shoal]

Haven't had the time. I barely researched it lol

It's already enabled in Settings. It doesn't do anything for me lol

[mortal grail]

Need to update your bios' and firmware

[tranquil pebble]

I always go for cards as close to MSRP as possible

[opaque sedge]

Rn its prolly pny

[craggy shoal]

The PNY cards look like Temu GPUs 😭

[tranquil pebble]

Asus has some too

PNY is no good for high end cards IMO

I do not trust their coolers

[opaque sedge]

Wbt fe cards? Not talking price wise but quality wise

[tranquil pebble]

and if a card has RGB plastered all over it that is another no go for me personally

[icy ore]

[lone mango]

Mc rep upsold me on a power supply. Instead of getting theirs I got a corsair psu and it stopped working after a day

[lone mango]

I dont have a pny card but they don't seem bad

They just look goofy

[tranquil pebble]

for basic cards they are fine

not something Id go for with mid to hig though

[mortal grail]

Ironically PNY produce the most nvidia cards by a mile, and make the workstation/server cards too

Lol

Those $10K rtx cards I think (even now) are pny coolers

[dusk knot]

[sinful blade]

Felix, build the perfect list for yourself
If you had an unlimited budget, and aesthetics were your primary goal

[sinful blade]

Got a pny 1660super in fiancés pc

[proud jackal]

[mortal grail]

My current rig in my dan A3

But with thermalright aio and fans instead of ek elite

And p12 max

I do not yearn for more rn

If I had more work, maybe another gpu in the same pc?

But I'd have to change a lot

[craggy shoal]

Funny how that works lol

[opaque sedge]

Haven’t charged it yet hahahaha

[mortal grail]

Actually not even thermalright fans

Just a frozen edge aio really

I want to try one really badly

If that gpu didn't have the rgb it would be better

How much does a r5 3600 and rx 6600 with 16gb and a 1tb ssd, with all new parts but cpu is open box how much would it be worth?

In the us

[opaque sedge]

The fans look really nice on those ngl

Too bad u can’t see em since they’re pitch black if u use it in a no rgb build

[craggy shoal]

I'll give you a happy meal for it

[iron lynx]

Sure thing pay me 700 for shipping

[opaque sedge]

It seems that once the parts have been used or taken out of the box… they’re gonna sell for used value

[craggy shoal]

$500

[opaque sedge]

Doesn't matter

[lone mango]

How much was it

[iron lynx]

63

[lone mango]

What

[iron lynx]

With cooler

[tranquil pebble]

eBay be like: Dell Optiplex, no HDD, no RAM, no GPU $50... + $100 shipping

[opaque sedge]

Not the cpu… the pc

[iron lynx]

436 per tax

[lone mango]

Oh 63 for the cpu is really good

[opaque sedge]

Watch yo language man

[iron lynx]

I used a great amount of coupons

[tranquil pebble]

[opaque sedge]

Bro farmed the mryeester links

[iron lynx]

[fresh nova]

They're solid

That GTX 770 still runs today

[idle nexus]

2x1080ti

[mortal grail]

Oooo

I thought they only went to x6 and x8 not 2x8

[idle nexus]

Z690 Unify-X has SLI support

[mortal grail]

Y-yes it does

[idle nexus]

so both run at x8 no?

[rancid juniper]

[idle nexus]

lol well there are two rails feeding those

[rancid juniper]

[idle nexus]

this 850w Revolution DF probably doesn't have a fighting chance but we'll see

[idle nexus]

I thought it opened on the 23rd or something

but no I haven't lol

I want my free USB Drive

[rancid juniper]

early grand opening happened i guess

heh

[idle nexus]

oh heck ya I saw that text message come to think of it

I don't really need any PC parts rn tbh

[rancid juniper]

honestly its kinda wild that its less than one hour away from where i live

thats a huge plus

[idle nexus]

if anything maybe new X3D or Arrow Lake at some point but otherwise I'm good for now

[rancid juniper]

but i legit cant think of anything to buy over there

but im glad its there if im thinking of building a pc in the future

[mortal grail]

Gary got so much stuff if he walked over he'd probably need to rent the next door garage if he went to MC

[rancid juniper]

lmao

[idle nexus]

I'm so far behind on benching crap that I can't even remember what I wanted to bench tbh

lolk

[mortal grail]

😂

[idle nexus]

like I just built this 2x1080ti 13600K

not because I really wanted to for a particular reason

just to kinda clean up around here a bit

[rancid juniper]

last 13/14th gen cpu to break wins mystery amd pc

👍

[idle nexus]

that's also a factor

I haven't taken 13900KS/Apex out of the box in like 3 months cuz I'm mad at Intel & don't feel like being further disappointed lol

[rancid juniper]

i think most cpus that are not i7/i9 will definitely last much longer before they error out

i haven't heard many cases regarding the 13600k

[idle nexus]

you think that or you want to believe that? lmao

[rancid juniper]

...

well

[idle nexus]

cuz this 13600K is a piece of crap over here

lol

[rancid juniper]

LMFAO

[idle nexus]

but I also did everything in my power to destroy it

[rancid juniper]

huh? ._.

[idle nexus]

well I did everything in my BIOS to destroy it

[rancid juniper]

bro said, this is useless time to have some fun

💀

honestly the destructionist title has to go to you

I bestow thee

[idle nexus]

lol no before the whole Intel borked 13th gen thing popped off

this 13600K was the first time I ever ran anything at 6ghz

[rancid juniper]

why?

[idle nexus]

which I can't imagine was good for it

to try to get good 3dmark01SE score

[rancid juniper]

[idle nexus]

6100mhz on 13600K with ambient cooling & I wonder why this CPU is borked lol https://hwbot.org/submission/5156790_ggood003_3dmark2001_se_geforce_gtx_1070_194546_marks

heck I should rebench GTX1070

[rancid juniper]

bro legit fumbled a cpu just for a score

you cant make this up

[idle nexus]

I mean

[rancid juniper]

😭

[idle nexus]

I think I paid like $120 or something for it I don't remember

[rancid juniper]

ONLY TO END UP NOT IN TOP 10 EITHER

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

[idle nexus]

lol it's hard to beat those LN2/dry ice/chiller people on ambient

[fervent stump]

I doxed myself on tt 3 years ago and just noticed

[rancid juniper]

well, i can commend the effort. good run

[fervent stump]

😭

[idle nexus]

it was alright ig... memory at 7800 is kinda meh

[fervent stump]

I did it again

[idle nexus]

ya it's cool. I just use the stinky Microsoft launcher on Android

I'd say there's a good reason I do that if there was one but oh well lol

[fervent stump]

Free or coupon?

[idle nexus]

[fervent stump]

Oh ok

[idle nexus]

[fervent stump]

Also you’re going to the Miami one when it opens up?

[idle nexus]

I might. I don't really need anything & it's kind of a long drive but

[fervent stump]

Thsts the ugliest usb drive ever

[fervent stump]

[fervent stump]

Wait this we talk about this in dms?

Or was that someone else

[rancid juniper]

WTF???

[fervent stump]

How is everyone here

[idle nexus]

I don't recall mentioning walking to MicroCenter but I can check lol

[fervent stump]

No no

I mean talking about being close in FL

[craggy shoal]

31 minutes away from me (I don't feel like blocking personal info in my screenshot)

[fervent stump]

I think it was someone else

[rancid juniper]

so glad i have the shortest distance to microcenter

[fervent stump]

FL too?

[craggy shoal]

https://www.theverge.com/2024/8/16/24221635/microsoft-fat32-partition-size-limit-windows-11

I see this and I go "Hell yeah"

FINALLY NO LIMIT

2tb fat32 limit

No more bs 32gb limit

[tranquil pebble]

I always hated that limit

[elfin mural]

Now we can use one usb drive for everything

Bios flashing and more

[tranquil pebble]

already could with Rufus tbh

Rufus can do >32 GB Fat32 on a drive

[elfin mural]

yeah

It being built into windows is more convenient tho

[tranquil pebble]

yeah I agree

especially when it was artificially limited because MS logic

[elfin mural]

"it's named fat32, therefore 32gb limit is reasonable"

[tranquil pebble]

lol

[elfin mural]

lol

[tranquil pebble]

Development was clearly rushed

Given this was done in the 90s though that is forgivable because not being on time meant the end of many companies.

[elfin mural]

true

it was an artifact of the 90's

and back then

32gb was a ton of storage

[tranquil pebble]

Also apparently the start menu was never originally intended to be permanent, but rather a temporary solution. It became permanent very quick though.

Any attempt to remove it results in massive user backlash... most notably seen with Windows 8

[storm narwhal]

Maybe 32gb was the equivalent of 2TB now

[tranquil pebble]

no, it was even more than 2 TB is now... way more

[deep parcel]

nah 32gb back then was like the equivalent of like 100tb back then

or maybe even a petabyte

[storm narwhal]

That's wild to think about

[tranquil pebble]

1995 HDDs were around 1 GB in size

[mortal grail]

It was so much space

[tranquil pebble]

and PCs were a LOT more expensive than they are now

A basic office machine might cost an equivalent of like $2k to $3k

Exaggerating a bit but still

[last mango]

So uh

I turned off fidelity

[deep parcel]

heres a decent graph showing average hdds in the early to late 90s

[last mango]

and man i didnt realize how sharp cyberpunk is

its like

putting UHD glasses over 720p HD

[deep parcel]

@storm narwhal heres a pic of hdd prices and sizes in 1991

[last mango]

Wow..

20Mb for $285 dollars.

Insane.

[tranquil pebble]

yeah most people dont realize how good we have it now compared to 90s

[last mango]

bruh

WD 80mb IDE for $800

[deep parcel]

211mb drive for nearly $1300 lol

[last mango]

Yeah just wow

[deep parcel]

$3k for 676mb lol

[last mango]

wild

[deep parcel]

also this is before inflation too

so the dollar was worth way more

like $3k in 1991 is roughly 7k today

[tranquil pebble]

I was about to correct that lol

my head estimate was 6k so I wasnt too far off the mark

[deep parcel]

had to go find a calculator lol

oh wait, just was reading more into this specific screenshot

its in CAD

$100 cad back then was like 75 USD

[tranquil pebble]

and now you get more than that in CPU cache

also funny that L3 cache holds more than N64 carts now

Also fun fact: my first PC had less than 64 megabytes of RAM

[storm narwhal]

i can't even fathom those times
