What I meant was it's ok to have "just" a 4070. Just because your friends have a better card doesn't mean you have to have it appleskull especially if don't play these new games that run terribly

i think it looks nice, cable management aside

but every fan slot on my pc except the single rear output has filters. There's also a filter on the PSU exhaust on bottom

filters for days

"I’m going to spend $400 on aesthetics" is nearly the PC land equivalent to "I’m going to rice out my Honda Civic with a fat eBay wing" in the car land

Modern PCs look cool no mater what you do. The only real asthetic you need to worry about is the case really, and RGB or lights and stuff

@fervent stump just be ready for getting bullied immensely for choosing a more expensive fan that don't even have the screen or infinity mirror in the middle

I’m doing that rn

Just get a normal AIO and strap a small HDMI screen on the inside like a lot of Lian Li people do

Oh true motherboards have it too

I actually despise setting up case fans

White itx mobo would be brutal

Does anyone even make that

granite estuary
#

Yeah

#

There are a couple

hoary zodiac
#

Tfw costs as much as a 4070

granite estuary
#

I believe it was around $370 Canadian when I was looking lol

#

Or $500

hoary zodiac
#

Probably will if it's a limited run

granite estuary
#

I can’t remember

hoary zodiac
#

$500?

#

That's a 4060

#

Surely not

granite estuary
#

My motherboard was $180

#

Canadian

#

Could not imagine paying even $300 for a motherboard

hoary zodiac

My last motherboard was $80

B450 gaming plus max

Was actually a really good value board

i cant believe mobos are that cheap have i not been paying attention lmao

granite estuary

I could've probably ran a 5800x3d on it

I miss the old days when AMD was cheap

#

I mean they're still cheap

#

Relatively

misty sparrow
fervent stump
lone mango
#

I cant find a white itx board

hoary zodiac
#

They exist

#

But very scarce

lone mango
#

There is one from colorful but it has no price

hoary zodiac
#

People probably scalp them

misty sparrow
#

i wonder why its so easy to get a white case but not the parts in the same color

lone mango
#

Next are asrock boards but the board is black with silver covers

hoary zodiac
#

Probably a economy of scale thing

#

There's just a lot less white parts on general

lone mango
#

Tbh a white itx board is probably pointless. Its gonna be covered depending on the build

misty sparrow
#

is it just more expensive to produce stuff in white compared to black

hoary zodiac
#

Yeah the fat gpu is gonna be in the way

lone mango
#

If you can fit a tower it will be covered

lone mango
misty sparrow
#

or is it just artificially scarce so people are more eager to get them

@craggy shoal!!

what a mouthful

rancid juniper

Plus it's $40 more than the Auros. $40 less for a much nicer board is always a plus

if there are shorter 4090s either its a blower design or just watercooled

Borderlands 4, Mafia: The Old Country, inzoi had a new gameplay trailer that was kinda nuts, the list goes on

some of the main ones that were interesting to me. IGN has a lot of new trailers on their YT channel posted from the gamescom show

light egret

im suprised they're still going with borderlands with the reception it's been getting over the last few years

yeah lol, I think its to make up for the movie

I still wanna see the movie, but I'm not paying theater money for it lmao

I mean they probably were going to announce BL4 sooner but the backlash made them wait

mafia might be cool tho

#

And maybe I will give in and try BL4 lol

deep parcel

Its made by the same studio who made the Mafia 1 remake

#

I think its gonna be awesome

#

BL4 I hope they learned from BL3... the story for 3 was awful. The gameplay itself though was amazing.

I think I only really played mafia 2 and very briefly

TBF, the story in all 3 were bad

honestly, it's been so wacked out with BSODs, etc. that I'd rather start over than risk dealing with nonsense left over

#

I updated BIOS just to see if it would help

then got annoyed & reverted

#

I'm thinking I might just have to update BIOS again then start from scratch there

#

even tho I got 6200c28 1:1 through 181 vt3 iterations

#

the only good thing is using this 12900K build in the meantime ain't so bad at least lol

#

so ig... Step 1: update BIOS again; Step 2: reinstall win11; Step 3: get memory stable on VT3 for at least 100 iterations; Step 4: try to finally get Core magnitude offsets right for PBO; Step 5: reinstall Win11 again; & Step 6: profit or something I dunno

I'm about to embark on like 10 hours of redoing something I thought was done

#

V-Color makes 2x48gb 6400 M-die that's QVL for X670E Taichi. Sounds heckin nice I wonder what that costs lol

#

still $290 tho heck

fervent stump

#

lol necessary

#

heck the 64gb sticks are all stinky ECC

#

are there 96gb sticks? lol

fervent stump
#

256gb sticks

#

So I could have 1tb of ram?

tranquil pebble
#

I have a mobo that can take 256 GB DDR4 LRDIMMs

tranquil pebble
#

My mobo max is 2 TB via 256 GB x 8 slots

sinful blade
tranquil pebble
#

Also note that 256 GB DIMMs will cost more than some cars

idle nexus
#

have 1tb of RAM & install Win11 directly into RAM disk

#

never turn off PC EZ

fervent stump
#

Ummm

tranquil pebble
fervent stump
#

I found 3tb of ram

fervent stump
tranquil pebble
#

this is what would max out my mobo

#

cool demo

tranquil pebble
#

only issue is that having so much RAM might make Windows take forever to shutdown with that hybrid thing it does

rancid juniper

it is, even does RT

rancid juniper

ill probably wait a few more years

tranquil pebble
#

tbf I only got it because there was a phone under $1000 with it

#

OnePlus 11 specifically

rancid juniper
#

1+11=12

#

oneplus nord n30 still got it

idle nexus
#

so

#

can I put SteamDeck OS on my crappy SurfaceGo2?

rancid juniper
#

is it gonna make it any better?

#

doubt it

Any pillow recommendations? Something light and office friendly.

tranquil pebble

#

it can't really get worse

#

I have ZorinOS on it rn

tidal gazelle
idle nexus
#

cuz Win11 runs like total trash it's such a slow piece of crap

fair onyx
#

Anybody happen to know how to stop windows from paging to slow drives?

idle nexus
tranquil pebble
#

put a lightweight distro on it

fair onyx
#

its been killing my PC

idle nexus
tranquil pebble
fair onyx
#

Thats what I was hoping

tranquil pebble
#

There is no installer for SteamOS so you would be on your own for that entirely

idle nexus
#

Advanced System Settings>Advanced>Performance Settings>Advanced>Virtual Memory>Change

#

that sounds ridiculous lmao

#

press start button & type "Advanced System Settings" without quotes

fair onyx
tranquil pebble
idle nexus
#

you'll get this heck thing. Make sure you're under "Advanced" tab

#

click on that "Settings" under Performance

#

you'll end up here where you will once again want the "Advanced" tab

#

this is verrrrrrrry advanced apparently

#

Virtual memory>Change

fair onyx
tranquil pebble
fair onyx
#

Or am I misunderstanding that value

idle nexus
#

uncheck "Automatically . . . drives"

idle nexus
fair onyx
#

Mine is...

idle nexus
#

& disable memory compression too

fair onyx
fervent stump
#

I’m cooked

#

Idk what to do for the first time turning on a pc

storm narwhal
#

i set mine to 20GB

#

I don't remember the reason I set it to specifically 20GB

#

but it is

idle nexus
storm narwhal
#

and yeah i moved my pagefile off of my damn boot drive

fair onyx
#

ok, so my HDD is still doing random read/writes

#

I have no idea why, all of the files on it are completely non-used right now

storm narwhal
#

with only 41GB of free space i can't use it for pagefile lmao

#

oh also

#

if you have or had bitlocker turned on before you swap pagefile drives

idle nexus
#

I loathe bitlocker lol

storm narwhal
#

it won't let you do it until you do a small registry change

fair onyx
#

gotta love 2MB/s being 95% drive

fair onyx
idle nexus
idle nexus
fair onyx
#

I set it to no, and its still reading/writing

idle nexus
#

you have 122gb of memory? why do you even have paging files? lol

#

wait

#

108gb used

#

of 122

#

how the heck

tranquil pebble
idle nexus
#

oh wait that's committed

fair onyx
#

I only have 32GB right now, and it succkksss, and paired with windows paging to my HDD, its making me wanna shoot myself

storm narwhal
#

do you have an ssd you can page to?

fair onyx
#

yes, 4 of them

storm narwhal
#

ah

#

mayhaps that is a good idea

fair onyx
#

I set it to SSD only now, HDD is still doing random read and writes for no reason

tranquil pebble
#

Protip: never ever page to an external HDD... you will cause some of the worst freezes you have ever seen if you do.

idle nexus
#

Tell windows we don't need no stinkin paging file

storm narwhal
#

did you reboot after you set it?

fair onyx
#

I have like 50GB of entirely unused data on this HDD. I have no idea why its still doing stupid stuff

fair onyx
storm narwhal
#

aaah

idle nexus
storm narwhal
#

well it won't apply until a reboot unfortunately

idle nexus
#

did you click "Set"?

#

that always gets me lol

storm narwhal
#

and yeah set main drive to No paging file

#

or hdd i guess

fair onyx
#

oh ok, this time it says I have to restart

idle nexus
#

lol why would windows want to page on an HDD

storm narwhal
#

whenever you get around to rebooting, if a popup tells you that it created a temporary page file

#

I got the fix

fair onyx
idle nexus
#

that's like ReadyBoost to add RAM using a heckin flash drive back in the day lmao

storm narwhal
idle nexus
#

remember that? lmao my dad had like 5 heckin crappy like 16gb flash drives

fair onyx
#

I would prefer the rest of my RAM just... work. Then I wouldn't need to be paging out like this nearly as much

idle nexus
#

you know why I know anything about computers to begin with? cuz I grew up undoing my dad's various Windows borkings

tranquil pebble
idle nexus
#

LOL

storm narwhal
#

USB HDD kekw

fair onyx
#

32GB is way too damn restrictive for what I am trying to do, but half my RAM just decided it likes to randomly disappear and come back for no reason

idle nexus
#

lock pages in memory so it'll stay in memory?

storm narwhal
#

i don't even know how to do that

#

but maybe that will help

idle nexus
#

I just showed it

#

in Local Security Policy

#

Local Policies>User Rights Assignment>Lock Pages in Memory

#

write your username then click check name

fair onyx
#

ok, training just concluded

fervent stump
#

Why is rgb sooo addicting I need to spend all my money on it

#

I need rgb thermal paste

I home I can RMA my RAM, but I am not sure if I will be able to

idle nexus
idle nexus
#

G.Skill for sure at least

fair onyx
#

I sure hope so. I seriously hope its not my mobo tho

fervent stump
storm narwhal
#

that would be an enormous pain

#

hoping if it's a hardware issue it's just the RAM

fair onyx
#

definitely... Either way, it sucks ass

storm narwhal
#

And not in the good way

#

smh

fair onyx
#

I would prefer just... being able to use the hardware I paid for

fervent stump
storm narwhal
#

you mean you don't want an intel chip that lasts an entirety of two years before degrading into unusable instability???

fervent stump
fair onyx
#

RGB, thats why

storm narwhal
idle nexus
# fervent stump Nice

at the height of my RGB clowning, I got these. Some are still in my case but they have 144LEDs per meter lol

fervent stump
idle nexus
idle nexus
#

144 LEDs per meter is a lot

fervent stump
#

I’d prefer building a black pc then get that

fair onyx
#

Anyways, I have so much crap to fix with my PC, evidently, and I have no idea where to even begin. I am too scared to test and see if its my RAM or my Mobo giving me memory issues, cause I can't really afford to fix either

idle nexus

fair onyx

@fervent stumpIf you want some of the sexiest RGB out there, EVGA FTW3 Ultra 3090's RGB is absolutely stunning. I have owned a lot of RGB things, but the FTW3 Ultra for SURE has the most rich and perfect RGB I have seen

idle nexus
fair onyx
#

My MSI 3080 looks like a childrens toy lol

fair onyx
#

yeup

fervent stump
fair onyx
#

3090's really aren't that exotic or unreasonable anymore. They are one of the best value cards money can buy right now for high end gaming, and/or anything AI/ML related

fervent stump
#

It’s beautiful

idle nexus
storm narwhal
#

they also suck back a lotta power

#

being 3000 series

fair onyx
#

Not worth it, thats how much

fair onyx
#

well, maybe not mine... I have a super hungry 3090, even power limited

idle nexus
#

I heard new 4070 is gonna have GDDR6 instead of GDDR6x

fervent stump
#

I want a zotac 4080s

fair onyx
fervent stump
idle nexus
#

lol Nvidia would put 8gb on 4090 if they could

fair onyx
#

I owned the Zotac Trinity OC 3090, and it was awful. Granted, the one I had was a GPU scam, but the parts that weren't scamming were ass too lol

fervent stump
#

They should put 4gb on the 5070 ti super

storm narwhal
#

die

idle nexus
#

Galax GPUs ftw

fair onyx
#

5090 is in desperate need of 36GB VRAM minimum, honestly

fervent stump
idle nexus
#

I don't think I can get another not Galax GPU

storm narwhal
#

nuh uh

fair onyx
#

the 3090 and 4090 are already so severely held back by only 24GB

storm narwhal
#

4gb is barely enough for my laptop 3050 kekw

idle nexus
#

unless (1) EVGA surprises everyone or maybe (2) when K|ngP|n starts making PNY cards

idle nexus
storm narwhal
#

come back evga make more gpu

fervent stump
fair onyx
#

If AMD can pull their head out of their glass (lol, silicon), maybe I would buy an AMD card if they weren't so computationally useless

light egret
#

dont make me get hopeful for future evga gpus peepoSadSip

north crescent
storm narwhal
#

at least it's good for gaming

fair onyx
#

I would probably drop 2k on a 36GB 5090, if I had that money

fervent stump
storm narwhal
#

if they ever did that lol

#

I feel like Jensen is hiding a lot of vram in that leather jacket

tranquil pebble
fair onyx
#

but if its just another 24GB card, it will be an even worse buy than the already horrible value 4090 for compute

storm narwhal
#

that could have gone towards gpu instead

fervent stump
#

Wait realistically why would we get a 5090 if a 4090 is already way above every game?

light egret
#

I would prob drop 2k on a new evga any card if I could afford it. Even if it's just a 5050 or somthn

but putting on a waterblock requires complete disassembly anyway

fair onyx

I have been curious about disassembling and re-pasting my 3090

storm narwhal
#

idle nexus
#

put liquid metal on it

liquid metal is <3

Yeah, I was thinking liquid metal

#

or maybe a phase change pad

MY 3090 is a workhorse, I should really look into treating it to a re-paste sometime soon

mayhaps one day

it shall be repasted

See you tomorrow @craggy shoal good night!

like I had to drill holes in the stock backplate so I could use it on 2080ti with the waterblock

storm narwhal

rip at the seams

fair onyx

then I put a giant fat ass thermal pad on the back of the GPU to make it get good contact lol
