[opaque sedge]

You just haven’t seen how big they are

All u have prolly seen of them is with great angles on social media

[fervent stump]

Look at the location of the psu I want this type of case

[sweet sun]

i wish this server had a image limit of 3 per message

[opaque sedge]

Motor you have a fishtank right?

Show daniela a front facing pic

[fervent stump]

He does

[craggy shoal]

Yes

And I just put a screen in it

[opaque sedge]

That’s a good angle

Show us the bad ones

[sinful blade]

Hey @sweet sun

[sweet sun]

?

[sinful blade]

How’s my list

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/38hHwg

[mortal grail]

Do the fish get paid to produce images

[opaque sedge]

Oh god

[sweet sun]

no idea

since idk the price

[craggy shoal]

less than the workers in sweat shops

[sweet sun]

i would say 2/10

part choice

[sinful blade]

that’s the joke
The only thing is the $700 ssd

[fervent stump]

@sweet sun

[opaque sedge]

Lemme find the link to list of the pc i built real quick

[sinful blade]

I wouldn’t make a list that bad

[fervent stump]

I would

[sweet sun]

you did buddy

[sweet sun]

ok..

[mortal grail]

Wow I need in on this

[sinful blade]

As a joke

[sweet sun]

light blue is more expensive

[fervent stump]

Hissssss

I don’t like that case 😭

[opaque sedge]

@sweet sun the list of parts i used and bought for my build, based on microcenter bundle pricing with coupons and some price matches

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6XgX4M

Ngl this server is pretty much becoming the 7800x3d club

[sweet sun]

i give this a SOLID

t500/10

[opaque sedge]

F thought you wouldn’t notice that

[fervent stump]

Yea let’s get the 14900ks

[craggy shoal]

Honestly has a better SSD than the HP SSD in the other build

[sinful blade]

Where are the fans @sweet sun smh

[sweet sun]

ofc it does

[opaque sedge]

I used a coupon for it in micro tho

[sweet sun]

its meant to be cheap

the hp one

[fervent stump]

^^

[sweet sun]

its like the fx900 except lower end

[opaque sedge]

Otherwise would be like 160

[opaque sedge]

Now give me the real rating

[sweet sun]

[opaque sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/god-of-war-kratos-gif-27114594

[sweet sun]

weird ssd choice

[idle nexus]

my case is aging fast lol

[craggy shoal]

Ping and ask the question. Don't just ping me

[sweet sun]

its pretty good

[craggy shoal]

Why the ping

[fervent stump]

Sorry

[sweet sun]

or is it

[craggy shoal]

E

[mortal grail]

Motor why do u hav 4090

[sinful blade]

Do I trust this for a customer https://www.ebay.com/itm/126622486568?

[fervent stump]

^

[craggy shoal]

Nah what's up

Oh

I don't lol

[opaque sedge]

[craggy shoal]

It's a 4070 Super Strix

[fervent stump]

Oh

[opaque sedge]

Its a overpriced 4070s

[sweet sun]

nvm the ex is just avarage

[craggy shoal]

You think I'm rich? 💀

[mortal grail]

I just realised

4070 SS

[fervent stump]

Yes

[mortal grail]

4070 SAS (asus strix)

Dude ur gpu has war tendencies

[opaque sedge]

4070 SASS cuz it sassed you for an extra hundred over msrp

[sinful blade]

Alright Felix is high again

@mortal grail go eat some tacos and finish your joint

[opaque sedge]

Nah he’s just Australian

[tranquil pebble]

I will be swapping 5700 XT out for 6900 XT (XTXH variant) soon.

[tranquil pebble]

Guessing the performance jump is gonna be insane

[mortal grail]

Which H

[craggy shoal]

Super Sport yeah

lol

[opaque sedge]

Welcome to the rx X900xt family

[mortal grail]

Powered by GM

[tranquil pebble]

Its the same specs as 6950 XT

[mortal grail]

Ok but which H

[craggy shoal]

H

[mortal grail]

There's like 8 models

LD RDU Toxic E OCF Gaming Z

Etc

[idle nexus]

I think I'm happy with thermal putty performance btw

[opaque sedge]

Felix have you played gow 2018?

Has anyone gotten all the ravens in the game?

[mortal grail]

God of war?

I haven't actually

[opaque sedge]

Yh

[mortal grail]

I love the memes tho

[idle nexus]

76C memory junction at 2775mhz or something

[opaque sedge]

The game aint no meme tho

[fervent stump]

Why are gpu so expensive

[mortal grail]

Wow that's pretty good tbh

[opaque sedge]

Its an emotional journey

[idle nexus]

somehow that means 11,1101 according to the little galax thing

[mortal grail]

I can't remember mine but I'm like a little warmer iirc

[opaque sedge]

Especially when you have father issues

[mortal grail]

YOU CAN'T JUST BOMBSHELL CHAT LIKE THAT

LOL

[idle nexus]

I feel like it would be difficult for them to make this look stupider

[sweet sun]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mc6Hwg

guys rate my pc

i bought all the parts yesterday

[mortal grail]

@idle nexus show danielle ur 4090

[opaque sedge]

I just did

[mortal grail]

She's gonna lose it

[opaque sedge]

Bite me

[mortal grail]

The lord almighty hof

[sweet sun]

oh i frogot to buy fans

[mortal grail]

YOOOO

Loop done?

[tranquil pebble]

Navi 21 XTXH is the only name I know for it. Same chip as the cancelled 6900 XTX model

[idle nexus]

ya awhile now lol

[sweet sun]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/LgP8TW/corsair-icue-link-qx120-rgb-starter-kit-631-cfm-120-mm-fans-3-pack-co-9051006-ww

im gonna get these

[mortal grail]

I thought we were still benching lol

[idle nexus]

lol that was when memory started going bananas for no reason

[mortal grail]

You don't know the model or sku?

Just get 6950 then

6950 is the same but unlocked mem

[idle nexus]

so I updated BIOS, installed burner OS, & spent two days trying to make sense of it all

jumped on 12900K/3080ti PC

[tranquil pebble]

I already have this unit and its a Speedster Merc 319 limited

[idle nexus]

kinda missed it tbh

[opaque sedge]

The pcmr god

[mortal grail]

That's what I wanteddddd

[mortal grail]

This ain't pcmr he's too good for them

[sweet sun]

ok i bought the fans

[mortal grail]

You should see his cable work

[sweet sun]

idk how many i need so i got 12

[opaque sedge]

I did once

[idle nexus]

lol thanks. I hate two of those pipes but I ran out of ideas & patience

[opaque sedge]

He said it was alright

The audacity

It was godly

[mortal grail]

Ggoods cablework is what you see on youtube build vids

[idle nexus]

stupid fan boxes

[mortal grail]

Yeah there it is

This man makes a living in networking you know he does

[opaque sedge]

Yup this is the one he was mildly dissatisfied of

[mortal grail]

🔥🔥🔥

[idle nexus]

12900K just looked cleaner I dunno why

[mortal grail]

The one with the purple extensions?

That one was clean af

[idle nexus]

ig cuz the chroma box

[mortal grail]

Oh yeah that one too

[idle nexus]

would've looked so nice if I just took the time to take those stupid white tags off of all the fan wires

[mortal grail]

Wym

Leave them on man

You can tell which is which

I hate going through the back of mine cos I don't know which is which

[idle nexus]

lol I love Thermaltake but I don't think I've ever hated a single piece of hardware more than their fan boxes

[mortal grail]

Lol

Swap to p12m already

[idle nexus]

I try not to turn off my computer cuz I don't wanna reach back there & unplug the fan boxes so they'll get off rainbow trash mode

[mortal grail]

You know what you need

WDL

Does the chroma box work with wdl yet?

[fervent stump]

I’m taking it

[idle nexus]

it works with OpenRGB

[mortal grail]

If it does map everything to that and it'll stay white

Open rgb works ig

[idle nexus]

I never install any Razer crap

oh windows thing

tbh I haven't tried

heck I haven't even tried on this computer

[mortal grail]

I use my razer stuff on WDL now

So 0 razer software

I'm all WDL bb

0 bloat

😎

[idle nexus]

it didn't change anything heck

[mortal grail]

Do you know how much his 4090 is worth

[tranquil pebble]

based

[fervent stump]

Like 2k?

[mortal grail]

More

[idle nexus]

& I'm direct to the motherboard with every RGB thing that isn't thermaltake

[mortal grail]

Have you heard of HoF

[fervent stump]

No

[mortal grail]

There's ur hint

It's a HoF

You can find the price pretty easily

[idle nexus]

heck this doesn't work. sad

[mortal grail]

Lol

[mortal grail]

Convert to wdl man

[idle nexus]

I'm trying but it doesn't do anything lol

[mortal grail]

It's so worth it

Well ya you need to be supported

[idle nexus]

Asrock boards aren't?

[mortal grail]

Bios for board, firmware for peripheral

[idle nexus]

Asrock rgb is so stupid

[mortal grail]

Idk about asrock

[idle nexus]

it's like BRG or something

so sometimes I put like red & it'll be green

I'm like wait wth

[mortal grail]

Lol

WDL is great but only a small gamut of supported devices rn

Tbh as dumb as it is, it's genuinely had me thinking I stay in the ecosystem I have rn

[idle nexus]

I haven't done much building in a little while

[mortal grail]

Which means more razer

[idle nexus]

well ig less than a month

[mortal grail]

But if I'm bloat free it's amazing

So like, unexpected W

[fervent stump]

Me like razor

[mortal grail]

Razur

I used to like razer for the customisation

But now I only like it for wdl

[fervent stump]

I like Corsair, razor and nzxt

[mortal grail]

I've been debating changing off razer once and for all for wooting

[idle nexus]

my son's 5900x/2080ti. I'm on the fence about how it turned out tbh. cost me $0 tho so there's that

[mortal grail]

alphacool

Yoooo

[idle nexus]

& your waterblock lmao

[mortal grail]

I WAS JUST ABOUT TO ASK

LOL

[idle nexus]

the black one I had was dirty & I didn't wanna clean it

I can if you want it tho lmao

[mortal grail]

I'm sorry about that btw, I've put it off for now

[idle nexus]

no worries

[mortal grail]

Nah it's fine don't worry about it

I will do it eventually

But not yet

I want to transition to ddc/d5

[idle nexus]

it looked better as 13600K/3070 but the heckin 13600K was so unstable

crashed on Unreal Engine constantly

even stonk as heck settings with 5600 memory

[mortal grail]

Did you rma?

That sounds sus

[idle nexus]

I got it second hand

& it's delidded

[mortal grail]

Sadge

[idle nexus]

so kinda hecked there

I'm gonna glue 13900KS back together & roll the dice one of these days with RMA lol

[mortal grail]

On another note did the xc7 have no issues

Lol

[idle nexus]

it cools 5900x pretty well

no complaints j

[mortal grail]

Lol epic

[lone mango]

Fr pcmr server sucks

[idle nexus]

just that computer blows so much hot air out

[mortal grail]

So the LM didn't cause residual

[idle nexus]

like noticeably

it was mostly gone

there were some slight imperfections

[mortal grail]

Hey if it still cools great then a pit or two is fine

[idle nexus]

that 2080ti tho what the heck

it makes so much heat

it doesn't help that the PC is under a desk on the floor

[mortal grail]

Is it unlocked or

Oh that be why

[idle nexus]

I put it on top of PS2s lol

[mortal grail]

Yeah

Lol

[idle nexus]

so it wasn't on the floor on the floor but it's only like 3-4" above it

[mortal grail]

I'm thinking about moving the xbox under the desk

It'll be in an open space, low power series S

[idle nexus]

i slapped this nonsense together just to get parts out of the way lol

[opaque sedge]

Imagine if razer makes shaving razors

[mortal grail]

Should be ok

[mortal grail]

This was an april fools one year

[idle nexus]

13600K is in there

haven't really used that build tbh

thought you might appreciate the P12/14s only tho

front has 3 P14s

[mortal grail]

Tmw it's easy to think about because it's a built pc

[idle nexus]

the cables on the GPU are ugly as heck lol

[mortal grail]

Sli gtx would be crazy these days tho

[idle nexus]

also, it has an enermax rev df 850w in it

[mortal grail]

I nearly bought an SLI as my first pc

From all places alienware LOL

[idle nexus]

& I'm pretty sure I connected a Thermaltake SATA power cable to it

& killed two SSDs

[mortal grail]

But I didn't, I changed mind last minute

[idle nexus]

cuz they don't work

[rancid juniper]

stop the cap

[mortal grail]

Bro's living in 2015

[rancid juniper]

close enough, he's using a GTX 1080

[idle nexus]

I have two of those 1080tis & broke one of them

oh, well they look the same

[mortal grail]

I know, it's the first one they advertised as 4k ready

[idle nexus]

before waterblocks

[safe cape]

16k for 💲 100.

[idle nexus]

& one broke

still not sure why

[rancid juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/no-sad-frustrated-no-way-yell-gif-17334973

[mortal grail]

The 1080 kinda did do 4k on release btw

[velvet summit]

Same pfp ☠️

[mortal grail]

But you guess the games

I'll give you a hint

[rancid juniper]

well ig for games released during its launch yea

[mortal grail]

One ends with Nite

The other, Thieves

[safe cape]

we need Engine ready not resolution ready

[idle nexus]

today's stupid project

[safe cape]

[rancid juniper]

Crapnite

[fervent stump]

Is the Glorious Model O good?

[misty sparrow]

"today's subject-"

[idle nexus]

5.5ghz i3

[mortal grail]

Going for valid?

[idle nexus]

lol I was doing R20

I hate R20

[rancid juniper]

with that background the i3-12100 will soon become it

[idle nexus]

only stays stable at like 5.4ish

[mortal grail]

Sadge

[idle nexus]

gonna try 7zip now

so I can actually tune memory

[mortal grail]

LM it and ice bucket the rad

Go for 7.6

[idle nexus]

lol I'm gonna run it for a bunch of benchmarks then take it out & delid it

[mortal grail]

Lol

[idle nexus]

bin doesn't seem that great so far

hopefully memory controller makes up for it

sucks to OC memory with a 1v SA limit lol

[rancid juniper]

i have my SA at 1.2v

cpu at 1.1v

[idle nexus]

1.15-1.2 usually gets 13th gen over the 8k hurdle but this is ADL so I'm not even sure

it's been awhile since I messed with memory OC on ADL & that was with Kingston old m-die

like early early ddr5

[rancid juniper]

e

[mortal grail]

On unifyx

https://tenor.com/view/vietnam-flashback-cat-gif-18770750

[idle nexus]

on Z690 Dark

with 12900K

Unify-X was 13600K & 13900KS

& still 7800 max lol

newer BIOS does 8k pretty easy but it still kinda sucks tbh

U-X is pretty decent for clock gen tho

& native SLI is kinda nice

[mortal grail]

You got 7800?

I thought we both got stable about 7600-ish

Damn

[idle nexus]

lol 7800 is max it would POST

7600 was usable ya

[mortal grail]

I had 7800 but the tune was just slower

Strain on imc was too much

[idle nexus]

I messed with 13600K at 7800 then 7600 & still had stability issues

but I dunno if that's just cuz the CPU is borked as heck

[mortal grail]

Na it was probs the board

[idle nexus]

even 7200 had like retraining issues

supposedly Z890 will have U-X again

[mortal grail]

Unify had a range of binning from 6800-7800

[idle nexus]

dunno if I'd go for it again

[mortal grail]

Early 7800 peeps had 8000 when we were messing with it

[idle nexus]

I always get mediocre results with my Intel CPUs

[mortal grail]

They probably still have the best ones

[idle nexus]

probably that board was just like

abandoned by MSI

like nope no Z790 & we don't care

[mortal grail]

It really felt like it lol

[idle nexus]

remember me bothering MSI discord for BIOS? lmao

[tranquil pebble]

I want to OC ECC RAM for lulz

[mortal grail]

Then suddenly mpower and we have the u-x at 8k

[fervent stump]

What headphones do I have?

I got them a few years ago and could never find out

[mortal grail]

Turtle beach

[idle nexus]

I sent them this on their Discord lmao

[fervent stump]

Are these good? I like them

[mortal grail]

If you want something cheap for xbox they're passable

[fervent stump]

Oh ok

[mortal grail]

But compared to a million other choices they're bested

[fervent stump]

Turtle Beach Stealth 300

[fervent stump]

I really like them and they are comfy

$90

[velvet summit]

You haven't worn anything good then

[mortal grail]

I know a bunch of options better for less

But meh

[fervent stump]

Yea your right

But I love them and my mom got me them a long time ago so I’m happy

[velvet summit]

I know a bunch of options better for more

Buy the hd800s

Buy the hd800s

Buy the hd800s

Buy the hd800s

[tranquil pebble]

HD 660S is what I have and they're great

[fervent stump]

Get the AirPod pro gen 2 usb c

They better

[tranquil pebble]

crApple moment

[fervent stump]

:(

[velvet summit]

Or buy the meze 109 pros

Afaik they come with lambskin ear cups out of the box

[fervent stump]

Or get a CCM Jetspeed FT7 Pro Hockey Stick for $360

[fervent stump]

IM POOR

[tranquil pebble]

or build your own

[velvet summit]

My bad
They come with velour ear cups

[velvet summit]

Hello poor

[fervent stump]

:(

Hi running my ram at jedec

[tranquil pebble]

Random fact: 3200 MHz DDR5 exists

[velvet summit]

Well that was 7 hours too late

[fervent stump]

I should buy that

[tranquil pebble]

not in DIMM form though AFAIK

[fervent stump]

I need a ft6 hockey stick

I like the model and brand

It’s not even that bad

[tranquil pebble]

expensive sticks... sporting goods moment

[fervent stump]

I HATE THE PRICES

[tranquil pebble]

still better than Apple and their $500 wheels at least

[fervent stump]

LOOK AT THE PRICE and I sadly have this

I’m 100% going in debt one day

[misty sparrow]

What goes around comes around

[sinful blade]

You mean bacca’s channel?

[craggy shoal]

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Jdujsc/

[misty sparrow]

yeah

i really wanna ping em but dont know if its fine

[sinful blade]

Bacca is on I think

[misty sparrow]

probably running in the background

[craggy shoal]

Bacca is running as a background task

[misty sparrow]

okay

[sinful blade]

@sweet phoenix what’s your idle cpu usage %

Since you’re running as a background task

[misty sparrow]

probably way too much

someone run taskkill

[sinful blade]

I’d say Bacca is a pretty intensive person
So like 60%

Average core temp at 70c

[craggy shoal]

turd

Go outside

[mighty hazel]

[misty sparrow]

run taskkill, baccas taking up too much background resources

[sinful blade]

I have just been informed that Bacca is currently preoccupied

[sweet phoenix]

:(

[misty sparrow]

hold on baccas hanging on ebay rn

the screens frozen

[sweet phoenix]

Kernel error

Deleted sys64.

[sinful blade]

If you guys were a computer; what do you think your specs would be?

[sweet sun]

epyc 9754 + gt 210

[sinful blade]

Average “Help, my chrome is taking longer than 1s to open a window, what should I do?” Answer

I’d definitely have a good cpu and gpu, but slow as frick ram and 256gb of storage
And like a 300w PSU

[fervent stump]

Nicolas is a noob

[misty sparrow]

TI-84 calculator

[sweet sun]

why

[fervent stump]

Idk 😭

[misty sparrow]

by the way, did you scroll up? lmao

[hoary zodiac]

FX-9590, 2x R9 295x2, 32GB DDR3

[sinful blade]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9hKjt7

[hoary zodiac]

and two generators and 1500w psus

[sinful blade]

This would be me

[sweet sun]

you would be a atom n100

just an atom n100

[sinful blade]

That’s a mobile processor

[sweet sun]

exacly

[velvet summit]

I would be running Linux on 256mb ram and a Pentium 4 non ht

[hoary zodiac]

they still exist?

[velvet summit]

Add a google coral tpu though

Because I am good at pattern recognition

[hoary zodiac]

I thought half of them wer HT even on socket 478

[velvet summit]

My p4 is non ht I think

[hoary zodiac]

damn

I'd probably be a power hungry workstation

[fervent stump]

Ddr2 with a 4090

[hoary zodiac]

GDDR3 on a 4090 when

[sinful blade]

I’d be a smart computer, with some beefy graphics handling

But running on fumes constantly, with terrible memory and garbage senses and control over functions

[hoary zodiac]

I live off caffeine so

so if we're looking at modern specs

[velvet summit]

Autoclocker

[hoary zodiac]

7800X3D, 6950XT

[hoary zodiac]

power eater

could be worse

could be an intel

[sinful blade]

I’d say you’re a 14900k with a 3090ti

[hoary zodiac]

nah

3090ti is more efficient with a lot of non gaming workloads

[velvet summit]

Roboclocker was the name

Misremembered

[fervent stump]

Isn’t a 14900ks better

[hoary zodiac]

actually the 3090ti outperforms the 6900xt in general

[hoary zodiac]

I'm power hungry but not intel power hungry

[velvet summit]

Caffeine addicts after caffeine be like

[hoary zodiac]

ahhaha

LN2 extreme oc

that's me fr

[sinful blade]

980ti moment

[hoary zodiac]

9GHz FX-9590

[misty sparrow]

is this stuff being cooled with nitrogen or something what is this

[velvet summit]

Yes

[sinful blade]

Wasn’t that the world record for overclocked?

[hoary zodiac]

yeah I'd be an overclocked cpu

constantly living off that juice

[sinful blade]

what about the rest of you

[fervent stump]

MY GOPRO BROKE

WAAAAAA

[velvet summit]

i already gave my answer

[fervent stump]

?

[velvet summit]

to roomba

[nocturne flicker]

FX-9590, a gt 730, 4gb ram and a large hard drive. Slow but large theoretical amount of cpu cores, visual device that gets the job done but isn't great for anything, low quantities of faster memory and a ton of space for all the stuff I am too slow to move around or get rid of

The ram is for my brief moments of inspired activity that quickly gets used up

Actually, the FX 9590 because I can quickly do very little despite my large theoretical core count

[tranquil pebble]

pretty sure 9590 was also the chip known to kill motherboards

[nocturne flicker]

It was

Needed a board with good VRMs or it died

[fervent stump]

VERTICAL or normal gpu?

[sour falcon]

@sinful blade sup bbg

[misty sparrow]

you mean vertically mounting it?

it's a personal preference

[fervent stump]

Yea

[fervent stump]

What looks nicer

[misty sparrow]

i don't know, haven't really built many pcs

it's up to you to be honest

[misty sparrow]

to me it doesn't matter because if i do build a computer, it won't have a glass screen

[fervent stump]

Oh

[misty sparrow]

but i think horizontal looks nice

vertical too im more of both

[fervent stump]

Yea I can see that but won’t it affect air flow?

[misty sparrow]

vertical might because the fans are angled differently than horizontal

maybe

if you wanna play it safe though, just go with horizontal

[fervent stump]

I will but vertical looks nice

[dusk knot]

Sheesh!

Too clean. Taking it down

[fervent stump]

I have a lot of pictures of peoples build

[fervent stump]

Guess what aio is used in these pic

Hint the best aio ever

[dusk knot]

Good reference for your eventual build

That's what I did

[fervent stump]

Yea

[fervent stump]

First pic Corsair fans and nzxt aio @craggy shoal it’s perfect

[craggy shoal]

but screeeeen

(You need a 3D printer for that though)

[misty sparrow]

nzxt

[fervent stump]

Huh?

[fervent stump]

YESSSS

[pliant berry]

why are we still talking about nzxt

[sour falcon]

REAL

[fervent stump]

Nuh uh

[hoary delta]

anyone know what this red light is? It's slowly pulsing for me recently

sorry, posting in cases. didnt see that chat

[misty sparrow]

nah, you can post stuff here too just don't make it common

people do it all the time

[fervent stump]

Didn’t know that was a thing

[hoary delta]

ok

[velvet summit]

probably just rgb for aesthetics lmfao

[fervent stump]

Does a case that comes with seven fans already have the connectors to plug it all into one PSU

[hoary delta]

ive had this same pc for 4 yeats its never done this before

[misty sparrow]

It should

I think it should

[velvet summit]

normally you would plug the fans into your mobo, but yeah, usually they include a fan hub

[misty sparrow]

why, are you finally getting all the parts for your pc?

[fervent stump]

Oh ok

[fervent stump]

Going to soon

[velvet summit]

maybe you just didnt notice it until now

[misty sparrow]

good job, building it is gonna be fun for you

[velvet summit]

cases dont really have any status indicators asides from drive activity and power

[hoary delta]

ehhhh maybe. it seems like such a specific light thats built into the pc though. cant change the color either its always red

[velvet summit]

and rgb sometimes

[fervent stump]

Rgb = happiness

Oh wait I can’t get everything since some are off sale

[misty sparrow]

I feel like the only one that doesn't like RGB

[fervent stump]

Why

IT MAKES ME HAPPY

LIGHTS

[misty sparrow]

I don't like the lights

[fervent stump]

COLOR

[misty sparrow]

it doesn't matter to me

[fervent stump]

Your crazy

[misty sparrow]

HOLD ON WHAT

[velvet summit]

pc tower monitor stand 😭

[misty sparrow]

they did a remaster of this game?

[rancid juniper]

yea

im playing the demo rn

[misty sparrow]

i played this stuff all the time on wii

how are they gonna handle it with no motion controls

[rancid juniper]

handles fine

using xsx controller, controls are simplified

game runs really well too

[storm narwhal]

Disney fighting for the right to murder anyone with no repercussions, colorized

[rancid juniper]

[storm narwhal]

Didn't have enough money to spend it on a desk or a chair

[storm narwhal]

That's a man setup right there

Just a TV and a computer on the floor = needs fulfilled

[rancid juniper]

OP pc for roblox

[fervent stump]

I don’t think it’s powerful enough

[storm narwhal]

2050 triple fan edition

[rancid juniper]

bruh, ik roblox is unoptimized but you don't really need that much power to run it

unless the devs uncooked and absolutely brutalized the game's performance

[storm narwhal]

Performance regression x100

[fervent stump]

Triple 4090 setup for Roblox

[storm narwhal]

We've given you too stable of a platform to make games off of

Now develop your own optimizations for no money whatsoever

[misty sparrow]

game is so unoptimized they forgot to remove the graphics slider on the console ports and on phone ports

[rancid juniper]

☠️

[misty sparrow]

game lags on main menu on PS5 too

and for some reason that port took WAY too long to get released

carbon copy of Xbox version

[fervent stump]

Xbox better

[misty sparrow]

I have all three

i'm collecting them like infinity stones

[cedar compass]

[hoary zodiac]

on my old rig I set everything to red because one of my LEDs aren't RGB and that annoyed the crap out of me

[storm narwhal]

An used

That just sounds wrong

Lol Used but never used

[icy ore]

The heck

[nocturne flicker]

Rgb bad. I sleep in the same room as pc and keep it on. More light = unhappy Guardsman

I put electrical tape on my gpu to cover the lit up lettering on it

It doesn't work too well because the light still comes through and since I only had red tape it is tinted now

[hoary zodiac]

it's especially annoying when you can't turn off the lights

I like a more conservative style of RGB

i.e., not rainbow puke

[viral heron]

anyone have any reccomendations for mousa pad/ mat and a new mouse

prefer a large mouse mat as i play on low sens and a mouse with side buttons

[lone mango]

This is the one I use
https://a.co/d/bMtQWNp

[lone mango]

Yeah the less the better fr

Less is more

[hoary zodiac]

a mouse mat

they all do the same thing really

only thing you really have to pay attention for is the surface of the pad

just depends on what kind of feel you want when you glide your mouse across the pad

[lone mango]

Yeah the texture on mine is subtle

Pretty nice

[hoary zodiac]

I use a wooden table

My mouse does not like me

Yeah I'm probably gonna get a pad when I move out next year

[dusk knot]

Hm

[pastel quarry]

Um it is disabled though

[hoary zodiac]

vm?

[pastel quarry]

Yeah

[hoary zodiac]

I seem to have missed the previous convo

what's the issue?

[pastel quarry]

It’s saying to disable hardware virtualization, but when I disable it, nothing happens and I cannot press OK to save the settings

[hoary zodiac]

context?

[pastel quarry]

I’m trying to start a virtual machine just to mess around on it and I’m watching a tutorial on how to but when I open settings, it says invalid settings detected and then I need to disable hardware virtualization but when I disable it, I can’t do anything and I cannot save the settings

[hoary zodiac]

what software are you using?

[pastel quarry]

Win 10

[hoary zodiac]

what virtualisation software are you using?

[pastel quarry]

oracle virtualbox

[hoary zodiac]

is the virtual machine on at the moment?

[pastel quarry]

no

i need to disable the setting to turn it on but i cant disable it

[hoary zodiac]

ok

what you should do instead is

go to your bios and turn on virtualisation

[pastel quarry]

damn alr

[hoary zodiac]

kvm is superior

[pastel quarry]

i like the easynes of windows

[hoary zodiac]

but yeah anyways turn on virtualisation

[pastel quarry]

ok

[hoary zodiac]

and then try to launch the vm

[pastel quarry]

nvm the verson of it that i had was to old for it to work

[rancid juniper]

I'd eat it

ice cream sandwiches are so good

[nocturne flicker]

But that is the point. It ain't an ice cream sandwich

[misty sparrow]

it is to me

HDMI jump scare

[tranquil pebble]

its displayport and hdmi combined

[silver sparrow]

how tho

[tranquil pebble]

no idea

[nocturne flicker]

Its fine just smash the hdmi in enough and it'll fit

[lone mango]

[tranquil pebble]

Tried 86box recently and it gave me a huge nostalgia dose with that Super Socket 7 lol

[tranquil pebble]

imagine a hybrid of arch and gentoo

[hoary zodiac]

gentoo with the conveniences of arch would be nice

kinda hard tho since that would defeat the point of having gentoo

the hard part about gentoo is waiting for your packages to compile

[deep parcel]

youd think disney would give you a demo longer than a few minutes?

[sweet phoenix]

On the orders page...?

Like any other website?

Sorry man, maybe look around first and you won't get stupid answers

Mkay my man

Enjoy

[tranquil pebble]

...ok then

[storm narwhal]

Maybe if you looked around and used common sense you'd have figured it out and realized he already gave you an answer

[tranquil pebble]

its a troll

check name and nick

[storm narwhal]

Ah

Bold of me to have assumed common sense, then

[mortal grail]

The hell ☠️

[tranquil pebble]

just a fail troll, nothing to see really.

[mortal grail]

That's some pretty serious language

Troll or not it's not ok

[tranquil pebble]

yeah hopefully it will be cleaned up soonish

[mortal grail]

@random osprey @elfin mural

[tranquil pebble]

[elfin mural]

[tranquil pebble]

[mortal grail]

I think we used to have a modmail here

[tranquil pebble]

but seriously that was the lamest attempt at trolling I have seen in a while

[hoary zodiac]

ahhhh

My vm is leaking memory

What is going on there is nothing running

[last mango]

You're being mined

But if you were asking legit questions then check processes?

[hoary zodiac]

I'm pretty sure it's something to do with virtio drivers

The leak is being contained but within the vm but I have no idea what's causing it

I am sitting completely idle

[tranquil pebble]

SCP in a VM

[hoary zodiac]

I give up

Just gonna let it hog up 6gb of ram

[last mango]

Is the fans actually running on the gpu?

[oak gale]

assuming am on a budget what should i pare with an rtx 3060

didn't find rx 6600

interm of cpu

ideally multiple choices since , idon't know if it will be available

[sweet phoenix]

What's the total budget for the build?

And what country?

[oak gale]

egypt

its for a friend

the budget is 750 usd

[sweet phoenix]

I'd try for a 5600/12400f ideally

[oak gale]

ill try to look for them

[sweet phoenix]

Anything 10400f/3600 or higher would be fine though

Or 8700k/2700x and better

[mortal grail]

5600/12400F & like

5700XT, 1080TI, used 6600XT/6650XT

Probably the range for that one

[oak gale]

the ryzen 5500 is 25% cheaper than the 5600

is it good

he also plays

mainly single player games

actually the performance diffrence kinda notable

ill go with the 5600

this thermal paste is under a dollar???

[last mango]

for 2g? thats crazy

but i recall somebody saying better brand in thermals make mimimal difference

[velvet summit]

it's actually a funny spec that nearly nobody uses
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayPort#DisplayPort_Dual-Mode_(DP++)

DisplayPort Dual-Mode (DP++), also called Dual-Mode DisplayPort, is a standard which allows DisplayPort sources to use simple passive adapters to connect to HDMI or DVI displays. Dual-mode is an optional feature, so not all DisplayPort sources necessarily support DVI/HDMI passive adapters, though in practice nearly all devices do. Officially, the "DP++" logo should be used to indicate a DP port that supports dual-mode, but most modern devices do not use the logo.[53]

well, the connector technically isnt standard

but dp and hdmi have very similar connectors which allow for that weird combo connector

[velvet summit]

just get mx4, it's known to be reliable

cheaper thermal pastes may seperate easier and dry out faster

[oak gale]

my friend said that the cooler master thermal paste isn't bad

which is

the cheapest from a brand i know

250 in egyptian pounds

like

5 usd???

his currency is weird

[velvet summit]

well, as long as you have some sort of thermal paste, it's going to be better than no thermal paste

4 grams of mx4 is 9 cad (like 7 or 8 usd)

[fervent stump]

I’m going to invent rgb thermal paste

[oak gale]

what

41 grams of cooler master's

[oak gale]

thermal paste

is cheaper

[velvet summit]

41?

[oak gale]

5 usd

[velvet summit]

💀

[velvet summit]

i think 41 grams is the package weight

41 actual grams of thermal paste would not be that

also it looks like coolermaster discontinued that

https://www.coolermaster.com/en-global/products/new-mastergel-regular/

it's under legacy products

1.5ml

probably like 2 grams

[oak gale]

huh

its still cheaper than

the artic

[velvet summit]

no? the arctic is double the amount

[oak gale]

oh

yea

but

the artic doesn't have a 2g listing

wait ill tell him

to get the artic

[velvet summit]

if the coolermaster is $5 usd for 2 grams, the arctic is currently $6.50usd on amazon.com, then it's 3.25 for 2g

also you can keep it in storage for a while

maybe not 10 years, but you can keep it in the tube for a few years

[oak gale]

why does it say videan

💀

[velvet summit]

repaste every 1-2 years for optimal performance

that's probably a knockoff then

lmao

[oak gale]

lmao

[velvet summit]

arctic has been getting knockoff tubes

because of how popular they are

[oak gale]

in this case i think the cooler master would be fine

i think

i should repaste my laptop

💀

[velvet summit]

https://authenticity.arctic.de/

[oak gale]

no listings on amazon .eg for 2 or 4 grams

there is 8 but lot more expensive

[velvet summit]

rip

[oak gale]

i think cooler master is fine

its just thermale paste

[velvet summit]

how about mx 6

[oak gale]

literly all the artic thermal paste they got

anything else is cooler master or some unknown brand

there is also thermal grizzly

but those are also pretty expensive

when is rog making thermal paste 🔥

rgb thermal paste

10+ fps

[fervent stump]

I was told that you should buy our computer parts around the same time should I?

[velvet summit]

within a few months yeah

[velvet summit]

https://www.tomshardware.com/best-picks/best-thermal-paste here's a list of tested thermal pastes

[oak gale]

cooler master's packaging looks soo sigma

[velvet summit]

[fervent stump]

Oh that means I have to wait till around December

I was gonna get the case CPU and RAM for Christmas

[velvet summit]

honestly, you should also be making your parts list within a few weeks of you buying the parts, at least when you want good value

actually, honestly you should be getting all your parts within a month of each other

because you need to check if any are DoA

[fervent stump]

DOA?

[velvet summit]

dead on arrival

[fervent stump]

Yea that’s what I was told

That’s why I need to wait till then

[velvet summit]

anyways

[last mango]

Oh wow thanks for this list

2 of tubes i got are in second page

😭

Nice that it comes with screwdriver lol

but a brush? the heck lol

[craggy shoal]

I don't see anything in there that's for changing the thermal compound on a GPU other than the screwdriver

[last mango]

i presume the white sealed bag is alcohol wipes

[elfin mural]

it is

[last mango]

The question is did i get scammed

[craggy shoal]

not really

I guess

idk

[last mango]

$12 USD before taxes

[craggy shoal]

Kryonaut is good

tha'ts what I use

[last mango]

it did me solid for years, but the price for an such small tube got me feeling like i got scammed

[craggy shoal]

that sounds like a normal price lol

[last mango]

got it from MircoCenter

yeah but Honeywell PTM7950 is listed for $16 and it did better than Kryonaut

2C difference eh

[craggy shoal]

Bruh don't compare one of the best tubes of thermal compound to some Honeywell crap

[last mango]

im defo buying that when it comes to 79xt repaste.

[craggy shoal]

ngl I don't even see the thermal compound in that photo

[craggy shoal]

bruh don't tell me it's that gray rectangle

[fervent stump]

What about if you use something else instead of thermal paste like idk soap?

[last mango]

kryonaut is at bottom of my cropped screenshot

[craggy shoal]

[fervent stump]

Why does a few degrees matter for your cpu anyways

[craggy shoal]

yeah or toothpaste lolll

[last mango]

[fervent stump]

Yea makes sense

[craggy shoal]

@mortal grail I wanna argue. I already know your answer, but why did we ditch the enjoyment of using Tiny11?

[last mango]

I am not even gonna try to argue lol

[fervent stump]

What’s tiny11?

[craggy shoal]

I already know the answer and I'm going to bet that it's mostly an invalid reason

[last mango]

I meant Daneille

[craggy shoal]

"Due to security purposes"

oh my bad

[last mango]

all good, bit of confusion

[craggy shoal]

lol

[mighty hazel]

Most ppl don’t min max their pc. It’s always some slightly higher end stuff for aesthetics

[fervent stump]

What I want

[last mango]

Yeah and I'm guilty as well

[fervent stump]

Wdym?

[fervent stump]

Ok wait this literally will be my set up after putting everything in aesthetics and not saving some for other things

[last mango]

Guilty but at least I don't set my PC on rgb puke

[craggy shoal]
