@craggy shoal really ironic timing

Wtf 14900k under 120mm

[wary fjord]

is it bad or good

[craggy shoal]

Still unplugging stuff lol. What is this?

[wary fjord]

the thumbnail says its bad

[mortal grail]

This is like

Alienware level trash

But with more vents

Good lord it's $1700 markup

With no gpu vrm cooling

[fresh nova]

Just saying

That’s all I’m saying

[devout forum]

Can you really though

[sinful blade]

$1700 build fee, thank you

[devout forum]

I mean if you really try hard enough you might

In some like 2004 game

Oh also X870 mobo pricing from Asrock has dropped

X870E Taichi Lite is 295k HUF

Honestly that's kinda yikers

[mortal grail]

Said this for a while, corsair hasn't been great

The one is a great reflection of my opinion

Go back 3 years they were much better placed in the market

[devout forum]

Corsair kinda stagnated a good bit

Dunno if it's just big corp syndrome or something else

[mortal grail]

Shrinkflation

[proud jackal]

[mortal grail]

10:35

BRO HE SAID ALIENWARE VIBES

CALLED IT

LMFAO

[sinful blade]

The only good thing they make is literally the psus and some cases

[obsidian berry]

U can get 100% power efficiency by turning it off

[mortal grail]

Lots of things they make are great, add the price into the mix, and almost all of it sucks except RMe these days

Even AXi has had it's limelight moment

Screw guy

[wary fjord]

so amd lost or nah

[unreal trail]

[rancid juniper]

mmm maybe?

i guess their X3D varients might fight back

[dusk knot]

💀lmao

[sinful blade]

Now if we really wanna talk about quality, let’s talk about gigabyte psus or maybe some asus rma policies, or intel stability with newer chips
(I’ve been in a coma for 10 years)

[mortal grail]

Funny thing is all 3 of those have been committed to improvement and are improving

Corsair however sits atop a mountain of fans and continues to sell fans that do nothing but show your favourite colours in corsair splash

[sinful blade]

Yeah I’ve seen good reviews of some of the new gigabyte stuff

[mortal grail]

Corsair needs to be cut down a peg or two

[sinful blade]

They got brand recog down

[mortal grail]

It's well overdue

[sinful blade]

You say Corsair and you know immediately what they’re talking about

[mortal grail]

Sad thing is, I like my old corsair stuff

I especially love elgato stuff

[gleaming rivet]

So Corsair sits upon their throne of fans selling fans to their fans so their fans can show that they're fans of corsairs fans.

[mortal grail]

Contrary to what people say, it works really well

[mortal grail]

Yea man

[rancid juniper]

The only corsair product i like is just the psu

not getting anything else from them

[gleaming rivet]

I'm trying to think if I even have anything corsair

[mortal grail]

The original one was a good idea.
Only that one.
Every one since I've constantly seen reported problems so this one rant from GN about the one isn't a surprising one to see

[mortal grail]

I can think of at least one

[gleaming rivet]

What's that?

[mortal grail]

Case

[gleaming rivet]

I have lian li case

[mortal grail]

Did you not have a 5000D at some point?

Or 4000D

[gleaming rivet]

Oh right I did. Both. But those are long gone

[mortal grail]

Good riddance

Testaments to the last of good corsair tho

[gleaming rivet]

As far as what I have now.. I think is just my desk mat. Solid desk mat though. Got it for cheap, but can't remember where. Maybe woot

[mortal grail]

I have one of their mouse pads and yeah it's good

Frays easily tho

[gleaming rivet]

My desk mat has a stitched border. I've had for maybe 2 years now.. haven't seen any fraying. I like that it's water proof too. Makes for super easy cleaning with iso.

[sinful blade]

Don’t buy it

$600 for this is pretty bad

considering the stuff that's been posted in #tech-deals lately

Nobody cares about your grades or what you did in college, especially if they find out you are a drop out

[rancid juniper]

lol fr

[misty sparrow]

i wonder how these people even made it to college

or graduated high school

[rancid juniper]

honestly its more about remembering that material and applying it to your job

if needed

[dusk knot]

The Newtonian part? That's super cheap. Sure

[nocturne flicker]

Its more about networking with people who will get you in the door even if you are dumber than a box of rocks

[rancid juniper]

☠️

[misty sparrow]

it would be nice to network with people

i feel like a lot of jobs need that now

[gleaming sedge]

Cool I know about what it's worth at the very least to know what to run in the auction

[pliant berry]

now? they always have really.

[misty sparrow]

if you need connections to get jobs

how do you GET connections in the first place

[nocturne flicker]

You go to college and socialize or you become friends with people who just so happen to have a role at a company

[pliant berry]

go out talk to people. I would much rather that then online only job applications where you fall victim to the machine

[nocturne flicker]

Or you become friends with coworkers at x job who leave and end up recommending you for y job at a different company

[dusk knot]

Nice. Ok. You have a picture btw?

I hope the secondary and primary mirrors are clean. That's very important

[gleaming sedge]

[dusk knot]

Oooooooh

What happened to the base?@gleaming sedge

[velvet summit]

https://youtu.be/hzHkh1ipbVk

[gleaming sedge]

Unsure, the auction is for when people stores get to much over stock and so they auction it and the base is in a separate box and never got put in the auction

With my wood working ish skills and 3d printer I can have a new base fairly easy

[dusk knot]

Nice

[north crescent]

Anwser is 1

[rancid juniper]

🤔

you're on to something

[nocturne flicker]

Ah, but the = is infinitely self replicating, meaning that it is actually infinity

Or depending on where you put the = after self replication and then rotation, - infinity

[wary fjord]

antutu bench are aaccurate

so is the other one

it test alot

not just 3d

and cpu score

it benchmark how fast u can render and decode 4k

and edit it

[rancid juniper]

aint antutu spyware tho?

like it got banned from google play store

[wary fjord]

its a mix bag xD

people are scared when they see china api

[rancid juniper]

💀

[wary fjord]

if u have android 14

u know what app access

during its usage

if it connects to internet.. open ur camera

etc

[rancid juniper]

mmm

[wary fjord]

but imo antutu is fine xD im confident using it on android 14+

[rancid juniper]

ok

well the article claims its 47% faster than the quickest SD8 gen 3 chip

bold claims for sure

[dusk knot]

What the heck is this

[wary fjord]

the 9400?

yes thats true

xD

but not on 9400

its on 9400+

im sure its + they claiming xD

[rancid juniper]

thats still insane tho

mediatek on their A game

[wary fjord]

yeah but

sadly not on emulator

xD

only few people likes to make drivers for mediatek

but on raw mobile game its fine

[wary fjord]

2043275 is on snap gen 3. .. 40% of that is 817310..

is it like 2,860,585 score?

i mean its resonable

[rancid juniper]

ok this seems unrealistic

no way a jump like that is possible

[wary fjord]

have u seen its 9300+ xD

it score 2.382.470

to get 2.382.470 to 2,860,585 maybe theres hope xd

[rancid juniper]

☠️

[wary fjord]

only few games can do 120

that much power is insane xD

snap 8 gen 3 is already nice for gaming no need to upgrade

xD

if ur phone can do 1.2m atleast.. i dont think u need to upgrade xD

[rancid juniper]

doubt my SD695 5G can

but in my eyes its still a solid soc

[wary fjord]

yeah that still play emulator

[rancid juniper]

It's responsive, all apps work, very little issues

[wary fjord]

deym your soc is double my score of my redmi note 7

i got 220k xD

urs 442k

[rancid juniper]

Oh

💀

[wary fjord]

u can do 60 on low thats a good soc already

world of tanks at ultra deym xD

my phone is limited to 3gb so it sometimes freezes and reboot itself

[rancid juniper]

i dont play this mobile games anymore

lol

[rancid juniper]

oh man you gotta upgrade soon

atleast a phone with atleast 6GB should suffice

[wary fjord]

yeah im saving for snapdragon 8s gen 3 one.. not the 8 gen 3.. the 8s one

because i missed the sale at 9.9 xD

maybe i try at 12.12

[rancid juniper]

good luck!

[lone mango]

I got the hyper x armada monitor because it looks really good and is not expensive while also having a really high refresh rate

Drawback is no headphone jack

my capture card has no headphone jack

Owned

If I want to hear audio I need to listen to obs but it is delayed

its such a nice looking monitor though

[craggy shoal]

Just get an overly complicated audio setup

Could've been done with the rear audio but I don't like the hissing (we don't do that)

I want to try this asus tuf because it has a headphone jack

If it is not good then I return it

Whatever

Oh I forgot about this odyssey that is on sale

That is not what I am talking about

[craggy shoal]

Understandable have a nice day

My capture card has no 3.5mm jack and this absolutely cracked monitor I bought also has no jack and the obs feed is delayed. I am trying to find one that I like that also has a jack

[lone mango]

I have been entering giveaways since 2018

A few times I had a full page of links to giveaways I entered to see status and daily bonus

Are these giveaways even real

Always some generic name that is the winner too, unless there really are that many people that have the same names and I just dont know

Also the giveaways that dont have limits on referrals are sus

[tranquil pebble]

I wonder how much economic damage would be caused by every electronic in the world simultaneously dying

way too much damage to imagine i suppose

[tranquil pebble]

I imagine somewhere between global depression and apocalypse

Seriously

My thumb drive is faster

[gleaming rivet]

I'm here to tell you that you can still play games super well with a broken thumb. I severed the flexor tendon in my thumb.. didn't stop me from picking up a controller and mopping lobbies in cod

Just gotta learn how to play without the thumb

[dusk knot]

Big f

[nocturne flicker]

How do you use a gamepad without a thumb? Do you use a pointer finger for one of the analog sticks instead?

[lone mango]

Next folder I transferred was at full speed

[nocturne flicker]

Genuinely curious, not snark, I've never used a gamepad before without using both thumbs for full controller use

[lone mango]

I have no clue as well

[nocturne flicker]

I guess it'd work with a pointer finger for Xbox style controllers because they have the other stick on the too left yeah?

So it wouldn't be as awkward as Playstation's layout

[gleaming rivet]

Yes. You git gud. It's obviously not as natural as a thumb since a controller was built for functioning hands, but you can get just as good without a thumb.

[deep parcel]

ironic that the weird al song called dont download this song is unavailable on YT due to SESAC

makes you wanna download the song

[nocturne flicker]

Mmm, I see. Does gamepad layout make a difference? Ie is it harder to get used to with the Xbox or PS layout and such?

[dusk knot]

Oh goodie

[unreal trail]

[gleaming rivet]

Given that I had no use of my right thumb.. I never had to worry about the left side. Given that the right side is where the majority of buttons are pushed.. I would say, it's probably easier with left hand whether it's Xbox or PS

[dusk knot]

Just got the pixel buds pro 2. Very solid with EQ and Wavelet( dumb Apple Doesn't have it so thank you Android. I will always be loyal to you.)

[gleaming rivet]

That also being said. I played with both Xbox and ps

[nocturne flicker]

Ah, yeah, sorry didn't think of that, I guess I have left hand bias as I am a lefty

I am also a lefty

balatro and tcg card shop simulator are my games to play till my hand heals

also, could just be im really stupid, but theres no marker sizing to scribble stuff out for the pictures on android

unless its a Nothing thing with their camera app

or issue with google cause its google photos

[nocturne flicker]

My camera app does, but I'm using a Samsung so it may not be the same

[thorn totem]

What is ptegraudo . Com?

I saw my father's phone getting chrome warnings about it using memory or something

May be malware.

[pliant berry]

or an attempt to install malware

seen it happen to computers since users like to hit "ok" on everything without reading it. they agree to get notifications from a website, click on a notification, lead to malware

[idle nexus]

beats the heck out of me

I tried lightly sanding it with 4000grit but no change

it's not like paste on there or anything

[chrome mirage]

Maybe its just gold plated and it's worn through?

[idle nexus]

maybe but CPU is borked either way

[lone mango]

Yeah it does look like that

I have no clue why that is

Corrosion? No idea

[chrome mirage]

I just looked at a forum and apparently the CPU vibrates in the socket and causes wear on the contacts

[nocturne flicker]

Highest quality cpu socket

[chrome mirage]

https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/cpu-has-strange-white-spots-on-bottom.3470277/

[nocturne flicker]

Allows cpu to vibrate itself into a damaged state

[velvet summit]

Are the pads gold plated or are they just gold

[chrome mirage]

I guess you can slow it down by increasing the mounting pressure and using a nonconductive grease in the socket.

[lone mango]

Tf he doing to wear it down that fast

[chrome mirage]

It's a design flaw and the CPU vibrates in the socket

[velvet summit]

How does it vibrate with all that mounting pressure though

Wait

That isn't a lga1700

[idle nexus]

it's AM5

[chrome mirage]

Electricity just makes things vibrate on a very small scale

[velvet summit]

I mean if you're gonna go that far

Everything is constantly vibrating

If they weren't, then it would be absolute zero

0 kelvin

Something more significant would be thermal expansion and contraction

[chrome mirage]

It could have been a defect in the gold plating

[idle nexus]

I'm reading about this contact fretting thing & it sounds convincing lol

[lone mango]

Is it really a design flaw if it happens to many things

[chrome mirage]

Apparently it happens to ram as well and it's the reason why you may have to reseat it once in a while

[lone mango]

Maybe it could be if they don't design it in a manner that reduces this

Bro spitting

I am never setting fans to 100%

[lone mango]

Would that apply to cpus as well

[nocturne flicker]

This is why PGA is superior. They don't have as much frequency to vibrate themselves to death

[lone mango]

A reseat every once in a while

[nocturne flicker]

We must return to pin on cpu

[chrome mirage]

My Honda Civic wants to vibrate itself to death but I keep fixing it.

[lone mango]

I think either allangh or wikipedia said something similar

Oh he literally said it in that screenshot

What does he mean by "cranking the processor engagement down as far as I could"

[chrome mirage]

I wonder if soldered cpus still experience that problem

[lone mango]

I wonder if he could send that in for warranty because that is not his fault

[chrome mirage]

probably

They might try to argue that its caused by overclocking though.

[lone mango]

At least its not as bad as that cpu in the picture

Cooked

Over

[lone mango]

They might be right because that i5 was overclocked

Isnt amd kinda lax about that though

https://wccftech.com/intel-core-ultra-5-245k-14-core-cpu-faster-cinebench-leak-versus-14600k-with-fewer-threads/

bruh..

this will be disappointing

it's a meaningful increase of ipc but

less threads only yields 4% multi core boost

[hoary zodiac]

I mean

sounds like a decent gaming chip

I wouldn't mind an i5 with a focus on single thread performance

[elfin mural]

but does it mean cheaper cpu?

i doubt it lol

[hoary zodiac]

true

but realistically

for an i5

It wouldn't really affect the use cases that much

tho my biggest complaint is probably the high tdp

[elfin mural]

that's true

[hoary zodiac]

14 cores is plenty

[elfin mural]

i just don't like seeing less for the same money

or more

[hoary zodiac]

I'd say it's a more practical design

hopefully the final TDP on these chips would be lower

but seeing how these have "ultra" on them

probably not gonna be cheap

You're still seeing decent multi core performance

they're not a great improvement but they're not terrible either

I am pretty disappointed at the TDP tho

125W is a lot for an i5

I'd expect that from a Xeon E5 but not an i5

I wouldn't buy these chips tho

seems more like a proof of concept for a new design

It's got potential on paper but we'll see how it pans out

[elfin mural]

per core gains seem good

[hoary zodiac]

it's a logical evolution from 14th gen

[elfin mural]

the ultra just means k skus

[hoary zodiac]

TDP should still go down tho

it's a bit dumb how i5s use that much power

[elfin mural]

ipc per watt is an increase

but eh it's okay

it's a pc

[hoary zodiac]

yeah

You're still getting more cores

so I'd say they're better for multi core

[elfin mural]

amd will gouge 9800x3d's launch price

[hoary zodiac]

I'd say ryzen will still be the go-to for gaming

[elfin mural]

so we basically have no choice rn

[hoary zodiac]

they're more well rounded

[hoary zodiac]

watch them do another zen 3

they will

I wouldn't buy AMD for core count

bad value for anything other than gaming really

I'd probably have said the same about intel back in 2017

[elfin mural]

watch the 9800x3d be $500

lol

[hoary zodiac]

and watch the 9700x and 9600 not exist at all

so they could price gouge the 9800x3d and 9600x

and only release them when they want to get rid of their bad bins a year down the line

[elfin mural]

zen 3 moment all over again

[hoary zodiac]

AMD trolling the consumer for the 100th time

@elfin mural do you know?

I placed an order and got charged for it, but then it declined and I was told to update the payment. Whenever I update it, it says “authorization failed”

@rancid juniper how much is your bill this month xD

Hmm my last month is worst xD 16 bucks

[craggy shoal]

What unit is that "Consumed" number? I assume kilowatts maybe megawatts?

Also, don't you live in either Singapore or Thailand? (Forgot which one lol but I’m jealous of that energy payment like wtf that’s cheap)

[velvet summit]

Only 55kwh?

[craggy shoal]

Also y'all have an app that lets you see power consumption? 😭 wish I didn’t live in America and instead somewhere that nice

[velvet summit]

55kwh would cost like 6 dollars here

I'm assuming that 55 is kwh

There's no units listed

[wary fjord]

Yeah i only monitor my pc haha

Not the whole house

That includes monitor and ups standby

[wary fjord]

Yeah smart plugs does that

[wary fjord]

Yeah SEA

On my electric bill it says i owe them 25 bucks.. 11 bucks of that comes with my pc alone 😂

In the end its for the purpose for games and stories what better way to show the nature of a character than their appearance they’re trying to portray kratos as a more mature person with more self control

[wary fjord]

ok jk aside.. google says immortal - living forever; never dying or decaying.

i gues he stop aging on some point?

because beyond that it means ur decaying?

but dont dying thats cruel

same reason why watching completely different movies with the same actors feels kinda weird

https://youtube.com/shorts/VjVzEo-InV4?si=tvXKzSF9gE0HgICc

for example

[chrome mirage]

I'm playing this game completely wrong at this point. I'm shooting everyone I see and it seems to be working

[velvet summit]

mgsv is more action than stealth

actions have consequences however

[elfin mural]

just like death stranding

kojimbo type games

[chrome mirage]

The stealth part doesn't work well because they can see through obstacles

[velvet summit]

yeah not the best stealth game

i mainly stealthed mgsv but it was very hard

hitman is better as a stealth game

[chrome mirage]

Well I'm not a huge fan of stealth games so I might like it more if there is more action

[rancid juniper]

i suck at stealth, action is my thing

dude i got my mom to buy amd stocks and i told her to keep it for a min of a month

she sold on 158

it went till 168

[mortal grail]

Did she make anything

[gilded kraken]

because, they gotta clear stock for the new cpus at the end of this month theo

[mortal grail]

New cpus?

[paper verge]

so i fumbled i told her to buy but i didnt expect her to buy it as soon as i said it, so she got it on 154 and when it went down on 138 she was like this is risky and stuff but i told her to NOT sell but she did anyways

[gilded kraken]

intel 200 series

[paper verge]

so barely made anything

[mortal grail]
