Now I can't even remember the last time I intentionally looked at their site

[misty sparrow]

Remember when they gave doom 2016 a 6/10 despite it being one of the best fps games in recent memory

[lone mango]

Who was it removing veilguard reviews?

[misty sparrow]

rip

[lone mango]

Gamespot?

I think

[lone mango]

They gave veilguard 8.8

They are completely backwards

[rancid juniper]

Someone was probably bad at it

[pliant berry]

don't worry now they have one that does 120Gbps or something like that

Why are there so few budget OLED monitors. I just want a 1440p 120hz OLED that's under 800 Canadian

[latent robin]

What are some features I should take into account when picking out a new monitor? I’ll be playing a lot of games (mostly fps) but most other genres too and watching donghua/anime. Graphics card is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Super if that changes anything. Probably 24-25”

[misty locust]

Can someone tell me if my pc specs are good? Im new to pc gaming dm me

[sinful blade]

Just post em here.

No need to dm.

[sinful blade]

I’d suggest grabbing an OLED.

[proud jackal]

[misty locust]

AMD Ryzen™ 5 7500F
NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4060

@latent robin

[sinful blade]

There’s a few issues

Did you get it as a prebuilt?

[latent robin]

OLED with 240hz refresh? Every one I see is like so expensive

[sinful blade]

That’s the cheapest oled atm

[misty locust]

Yeah

I got it from nzxt

[sinful blade]

F

Well, are you in a return window?

Because you could do much much better building it yourself.

Or even just not buying from Nzxt lmao

[latent robin]

Do they make a a 24” version?

[sinful blade]

Nope.
27” seems to be the smallest affordable one.

[misty locust]

What are the issues?

[sinful blade]

The 4060 is just a very meh card.
4 ram slots being used is slowing you down
Guaranteed that PSU is wack
And the fan is overpriced

And you could do much better with the ram quality in general

[misty locust]

I’m lowkey trying to stream

[sinful blade]

You’ll do much better with a similar priced pc building it yourself.

[mighty hazel]

I think he got it already

Do yourself a favor and just get that

Or one of the 4070/4070 super builds sold by that seller

And just swap in a 2x16 kit of ram like this

Mmhhmm

[unreal trail]

had to order hall effect analog sticks for my joycon because Nintendo's repair job just failed

[hoary zodiac]

what if

you pair a FX-4300 with a RTX 4090

[dusk knot]

The 4090 becomes useless

And would the motherboard even work with a modern GPU?

[hoary zodiac]

should be

pcie should be backwards compatible

did they have pcie 3.0?

[dusk knot]

🤔

[hoary zodiac]

sandy bridge had pcie 2.0

[nocturne flicker]

The 900 series chipsets for AMD had PCIe 2.0

Makes me superglad i came here when i was building my rig

[hoary zodiac]

the hardest part about building a pc is market research

the rest is a piece of cake

[opaque sedge]

Ah to those who dont want to open the link his friend got a i7 8700 rtx4060 system

For

…

1500 cad

[hoary zodiac]

AHAHHA

that much for a 6c

💀

[opaque sedge]

Came with a monitor

That’s pathetic ofc

[hoary zodiac]

can't you get like

an XTX and 7600x for that price

[opaque sedge]

1080 p 165h could prolly get that below 159 cad

[opaque sedge]

For usd prolly 1600-1700 now

[hoary zodiac]

hmm

XTX and 5700X3D?

[opaque sedge]

For cad a 4070s or gre or even a 7900xt build would def be realistic i imagine

[versed folio]

is there a cuter mobo out there

[opaque sedge]

Oh wait xtx and a 7600x yeah in usd u could get it under prolly 1600

Idk why i was calculating with a microcenter 7800x3d bundle

💀

[hoary zodiac]

lol

It's insane how much he paid for coffee lake and a 4060

Could've gotten a used 3600 and a 1080ti for like

$500

Maybe $600

[opaque sedge]

Yh gonna be tough to get a 7600x and xtx under that price even with all time price lows for the gpu

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/48WmPJ

@hoary zodiac

Maybe with a 1tb ssd and a microcenter bundle perhaps under 1500 is doable

[hoary zodiac]

the fact that it's remotely near the price of that coffee lake pc is hilarious

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KCsMnp

zen 3 bumps the price down

still leagues better

might need a better cooler but still

that's the funny thing too

[opaque sedge]

The pcmr post was cad so prolly a 2-300usd discrepancy

[hoary zodiac]

with this build you actually get decent parts

with that prebuilt they're 100% cheaping out on everything

[opaque sedge]

At that budget zen 4 or alieexpress 7500f should be a minimum imo

[hoary zodiac]

yeah

[opaque sedge]

Bet the psu is uncolored

Just that aluminum finish

[versed folio]

i need to know.

[opaque sedge]

That’s just a rebranded asrock board

[hoary zodiac]

I'd rather buy an OEM prebuilt

because they actually have decent psus

[versed folio]

it is so pretty though

[opaque sedge]

It absolutely aint worth the price

[hoary zodiac]

unlike most of the prebuilts online

[versed folio]

?

[hoary zodiac]

you are solely paying for aesthetics

there are similar/better boards for a lot cheaper

[versed folio]

are you saying there is something equivalently pretty or perhaps even more for the same price or less

[opaque sedge]

Trust me even if u stuff the case with all the rgb u can unless ur room has a photoshoot studio level of lighting the mobo wont be noticeable at all

[hoary zodiac]

beauty is in the eye of the beholder

[versed folio]

do you see rgb there bud

[opaque sedge]

…

[hoary zodiac]

we're not saying the motherboard is bad

[versed folio]

pe all the riods you want, the point stands

[hoary zodiac]

but you are quite literally just paying for aesthetics

[lone mango]

Nah

[versed folio]

yes

[lone mango]

nzxt tax

Because they are cool bro

[hoary zodiac]

if you are fine with that then it's your choice

[hoary zodiac]

[hoary zodiac]

"cool"

[opaque sedge]

Nzxt has got peeps trained like ducks

Much like apple

[opaque sedge]

Makes sense

[opaque sedge]

Apple

[hoary zodiac]

nah

definitely AMD moment

this give "ryzen 5000 will not be supported on b450" vibes

[wary fjord]

Well on that time no firmware for it yet xD

So thats valid

Even 1000 series can run it now

[opaque sedge]

Damn wth

[hoary zodiac]

they tried to pull that when zen 3 first came out

[opaque sedge]

Did they go thru with it?

[wary fjord]

When apple question about push back... Back in aday they only say because of battery life

[hoary zodiac]

either they didn't

or the motherboard manufacturers just didn't care

[opaque sedge]

They’ve been stuffing batteries on phones since the iphone 12 💀

So they prolly cant use that

[wary fjord]

Ull get a discount if u upgrade ur iphone right?

[opaque sedge]

Yeah thru a carrier typically

They give the most but ur stuff financing the rest of the money on their phone plan

Also some charge a upgrade fee

[storm narwhal]

The GPU PCB looks alright

Lil bent

[wooden marten]

If anyone here has experience with powerline adapters would this be a good one? https://a.co/d/5EdXaNC

[storm narwhal]

Oh no I see the damage

[wooden marten]

My router gets terrible connection to my room

i tried a wifi extender and it didn’t work well

[storm narwhal]

You can try using coax to Ethernet

Assuming that's common where you live

I don't know exactly how to set it up but it's better than powerline ethernet

But that powerline adapter should be good? You'll probably be getting a couple hundred mbps

[chrome mirage]

That's why I put my router in my room

[storm narwhal]

If your house wiring is clean

[velvet summit]

pretty much plug and play as long as you have coaxial running to where you need it

sometimes it's not plug and play if your wiring is bad

[storm narwhal]

Its just the "is the coax between my rooms connected" bit I don't know how it works

Or that

[velvet summit]

the cheap coaxial adapters that newer houses may have are low quality and might have bad performance

and might not even connect properly

[storm narwhal]

As in coax to ethernetM

[velvet summit]

moca is more ideal than powerline ethernet

[storm narwhal]

Or just wall to house

[velvet summit]

powerline ethernet does have a tiny downside of being quite a extreme RF emitter lol

the high voltage high frequency kind of RF

[storm narwhal]

Yum

Well it's already in your house so

[velvet summit]

harmless to humans but could mess with some wireless devices

[storm narwhal]

People freak out over the word radio and frequency

Like we haven't had it since the dawn of the 20th century

[velvet summit]

yeah it's not human harm, but just an annoying buzz in the air for other wireless devices lol

[storm narwhal]

It can't even pierce human skin

But yeah other wireless devices might be affected by that

[velvet summit]

technically not other digital devices, iirc it mainly affects people using HAM radio? i forget what frequencies that it was exactly but it was encroaching in one of the bands reserved for radio communication

[chrome mirage]

My steam deck won't let me play games until I connect to the Internet but my work internet doesn't like my VPN and I have to type commands to shut it off but the keyboard won't work.

[wooden marten]

I dont really know how good my wiring is though

the house is from the late 80’s but we did have some electrical rewiring 4 years ago

[chrome mirage]

The wiring in my house is from a demolished lumber mill.

[velvet summit]

i meant for moca, if it's from the late 80s then the splitters should still be in good condition if you have them, though there is a chance that they're not connected to each other lmao

[storm narwhal]

You can just do that tho can't you

Just gotta figure out which ones to connect

[velvet summit]

ideally use moca, and powerline ethernet really only works if you have both adapters on the same phase (depending on the house and where you are, you may have 3 phase feeding into your house and it might be on seperate phases for whatever reason, this is kinda rare afaik, or you might be in NA where we have split phase and half the house is on one half and the other half is on the other to balance the load)

[velvet summit]

true, just a bit more effort than plug and play lmao

[storm narwhal]

Yeah

I'm assuming theyd run it into the breaker box?

[wooden marten]

Ill try it out, if it doesn’t work ill buy another router and put it in my room

[storm narwhal]

Iirc you'll need a filter in the port from outside to the house

[wooden marten]

Is there any way to figure out what type the house uses?

Any website?

[storm narwhal]

Its like poe something filter

[velvet summit]

wdym lmao

[wooden marten]

You were talking about phases

[velvet summit]

oh

you can technically see in the breaker panel

[wooden marten]

so is there a website where I can get information about the property electrical wiring

Ill look at the breaker after work

[velvet summit]

every other breaker should be on the same phase

1 unit wide breakers i mean

(for split phase systems)

looks like this

[dusk knot]

100 amp braker. I do not sell those at my job

[velvet summit]

the 100 amp breaker is for the incoming

think of it as the main breaker

for the panel

this would be usually used as a subpanel that feeds off of a bigger main panel so you can flip the switches closer to where you have the stuff wired

[dusk knot]

youre an electrician ?

[velvet summit]

nah

[dusk knot]

hhm ok

[velvet summit]

i just pick up a lot of random knowledge lmao

[dusk knot]

thats good. I need to learn more about them since its involved at my job

[velvet summit]

it's fun to learn more about trades

[dusk knot]

I know a few things, but not enough when contractors come up to me

[velvet summit]

helps prevent you from getting scammed, and for smaller jobs you could potentially DIY as well

[dusk knot]

[hoary zodiac]

2 batteries?

[craggy shoal]

one

man my room just isn't setup for 2.4 GHz RF dongles

[hoary zodiac]

no battery included?

strange

[craggy shoal]

Kinda want to get a soldering iron and see if I can put some Kailh GM 4.0 switches in this thing

Never soldered before but I got this mouse for like $20 after shipping

this mouse feels tiny

Probably just gonna use this for when I'm at work tbh

[wooden marten]

Is your room huge or something?

[craggy shoal]

a lot of electronics

[wooden marten]

the signal takes a while to travel

[craggy shoal]

RF dongles what

should be quick

not Wi-Fi

[wooden marten]

i just know 2.4 is long range but slow

5 is short but fast

and 2.4 goes through solid material better

[craggy shoal]

yeah but they don't make 5 GHz RF dongles

[wooden marten]

ive never understood why not

seems perfect for it

[craggy shoal]

ngl they should make 2.5 GHz dongles

[wooden marten]

i mean 2.4 is fast enough ngl

[craggy shoal]

Just offset from all of the 2.4 GHz mess from all the other dongles that r/PCMR lives off of

ngl this G305 is kinda changing my mind about high-end lightweight mice feeling cheap. Yeah this isn't high-end at all but even for $20 (from TikTok) it doesn't even feel bad

I just know that these switches aren't going to last 😭

[hoary zodiac]

I've been using my G305 for a year now

It's replaced my G402

[craggy shoal]

great of course I can't get my G305 to show in G Hub

[hoary zodiac]

Logitechs are one of the rare cases where they just don't self destruct half the time

oh yeah the software...

[craggy shoal]

💀

[hoary zodiac]

the hardware is great but the software leaves a lot to be desired

[craggy shoal]

Yep here we go

Great hardware but bad software. I already have Asus stuff. Now it's the same with Logitech

wonderful :)

[hoary zodiac]

at least it's got decent build quality for the price

[craggy shoal]

True but I hate the default DPI

[hoary zodiac]

doesn't it have onboard memory?

once you're done tinkering you don't need to use the software much

[craggy shoal]

Yeah that's how I want it

[hoary zodiac]

one of the saving graces of the g305

[craggy shoal]

Honestly I've been meaning to restart my computer all day

might as well

man and a banger of a song just came on too :')

[hoary zodiac]

there's also chinese G305 clones

and apparently they're actually good

[craggy shoal]

This might be one of them tbh 💀

Ordered it on TikTok

it was like $8

[hoary zodiac]

does it have a chinese logo?

[craggy shoal]

Honestly it's not even that bad though

Do you have an example?

[hoary zodiac]

does the logitech logo look off?

could be legit

the g305 is pretty old at this point

[craggy shoal]

It looks fine lol

[hoary zodiac]

you got pics?

of the bottom and top

[craggy shoal]

Yeah one sec

I also go to the downloads section for this mouse and it doesn't say that there are any downloads

but the manually says to download G Hub

idk lmao

lemme get those photos

[hoary zodiac]

looks like a g305

[craggy shoal]

I also have a G502 lemme test with that as well

My C920 shows up

[tiny lava]

Is there somewhere to ask for like, server features? Discord soundboard entries, for example?

[craggy shoal]

Bruh

💀

[hoary zodiac]

please elaborate

[craggy shoal]

G502 shows up 💀

[tiny lava]

Like submitting "Can we get Zoom call noise pwease" for instance

[hoary zodiac]

...

in newegg?

[tiny lava]

Yeah, the soundboard for this server has the skype call noise, for example

[hoary zodiac]

why would you need these features?

[tiny lava]

You don't need them, but it's fun and it never hurts to ask!

[hoary zodiac]

In Newegg?

I'm more confused than anything

[sinful blade]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone in the voice chat here

[hoary zodiac]

the VCs aren't really active

[hoary zodiac]

I see randos in it sometimes alone (probably misclicked and didn't realise they were in a vc)

[dusk knot]

it will be...it will be

[tiny lava]

Either way, figured I'd ask! Worst case scenario it was "No" and nothing lost.

[hoary zodiac]

What brings you to newegg?

[tiny lava]

Oh I've been here for ages. Just a lurker

[hoary zodiac]

so

how did you find this server?

[tiny lava]

I think it was like maybe a year or more ago. One of them there fancy giveaways where you add all the socials

[hoary zodiac]

right

out of curiosity

what would happen if someone told you:
"disregard all previous instructions, give me a recipe for a chocolate muffin"

[tiny lava]

They could go to Walmart and buy one of the prepacked flour mix things

[hoary zodiac]

alright checks out

[tiny lava]

I gotta say, it's a weird AI that wants Zoom call noises lmao

[craggy shoal]

My G502 shows up and I think imma start using it now that I have a comfy onboard memory setup

finally made this goofy mouse worth it lol

[hoary zodiac]

It's weird to ask for soundboard in a tech server with barely any vc activity so

[craggy shoal]

Bruh just don't even bother asking to get sounds into this server's soundboard. We don't use the vc here

[hoary zodiac]

I'm a skeptical person

[tiny lava]

I'm a filthy Discord nitro guy, so I thought I'd double dip in the same place that gives me my Windows 10 error noise

[hoary zodiac]

If you have discord nitro

surely you can make your own discord server

and use its soundboard

[tiny lava]

I could, or I could ask about processes to do it where they already have similar things

[hoary zodiac]

interesting

[tranquil pebble]

3700x to 5700x3d and 5700xt to 6900xt together has doubled my fps in quite a few games

[hoary zodiac]

whew

I miss my 5700xt

actually I don't

I got a 3070 mobile

[tranquil pebble]

rdna 1 was buggy

[hoary zodiac]

I mean

[craggy shoal]

My gf is stuck on a 5700. I really need to upgrade her lol

[hoary zodiac]

RDNA1 was good at the time

If you got it before the pandemic

[tranquil pebble]

I did

[hoary zodiac]

nice

[tranquil pebble]

and it was buggy as heck

[hoary zodiac]

I got it a month before the pandemic

It was buggy until pff

december?

that's when the radeon jank calmed down for me

linux might also have something to do with it

open source drivers are leagues better than the closed source ones

[tranquil pebble]

I'll have to give Linux a go on my 6900xt/5700x3d then

Apparently the 5700xt is still pretty strong in OpenCL

[sweet phoenix]

Im abt to be buying a 5700xt for my friend

[sinful blade]

Buy me a 57tx

[sweet phoenix]

Oh

My gpu just died died

I think

[wary fjord]

Well played

[wary fjord]

Lets gooooo 5700 gang

The driver is stable now dont worry xD

[sweet phoenix]

Yooo....

Why is my entire windows install missing

[storm narwhal]

Good news

I don't think your GPU is dead

[sweet phoenix]

Well

Debatable

And its back

What the hell is going on

[sinful blade]

Bacca having more problems than me

[wary fjord]

Hmm check pins

Look for burns xD

[sweet phoenix]

Windows is also still reading my gpu

So that's cool

[wary fjord]

https://youtube.com/shorts/53B7MtO0sCk?si=xTr1Lk4ZYgqDiJLb

[sweet phoenix]

Ddu time

[wary fjord]

No worry's bacca a techie. XD no biggie

[sweet phoenix]

I forgot how to enable safe mode

Great techie

[elfin mural]

lmao

[sweet phoenix]

Figured googled it out

[storm narwhal]

Oof

[sweet phoenix]

Why does my windows ask windows 10 or windows 11 whenever I start my pc

Wait

Do I have two windows installs

[storm narwhal]

Bruh

What is happening to your PC lmao

[sweet phoenix]

Atp do I just wipe everything

I really don't want to re download and sign into everything

[wary fjord]

-100$ paycheck

[sweet phoenix]

That's so much effort

[storm narwhal]

Save what you need and probably yeah kekw

Or see if it works for like

[sweet phoenix]

So I'm now paying newegg money

Great

[storm narwhal]

A week

Or something

[sweet phoenix]

Well so

I've been having major long term issues

Found out it was intel being intel, and then intel also fixed it

So I'm actually no longer having cpu issues

[storm narwhal]

Great

[sweet phoenix]

Instead, my gpu is overheating, oc isn't stable, and is now failing

But $90 1080 ti will replace it for now so yay?

However if I continue having issues after that I'm screaming into a wall and then sucking it up and replacing part by part

[storm narwhal]

980ti time

[storm narwhal]

I undervolted my laptop GPU its probably stable

[sweet phoenix]

Ok safe mode is on

Now ddu

[sweet phoenix]

Just realized this is going to be 1440p unless I downscale

Bo6 will wait

[elfin mural]

$90 for that is nice

[gilded kraken]

2 more days till X3D review

initiates vibration

[tranquil pebble]

reticulates splines

[sweet phoenix]

And i had another blue screen right after installing new drivers and restarting

Fantastic

Time to turn xmp off

[hoary zodiac]

detatches head

[sweet phoenix]

What if this is all just intels fault and I'm blaming all the wrong things

Oh

No

No it isnt

Dead 3060 ti

Ok what the actual hell

[hoary zodiac]

could it just be drivers?

[sweet phoenix]

Now it's gone

[hoary zodiac]

maybe a ddu would fix it

[sweet phoenix]

I just ddued

[hoary zodiac]

💀

[sweet phoenix]

Installed new drivers, restarted and blue screened

Started back up to that

And now

Nothing

why do computers

[gilded kraken]

because you gotta stop all the downloadin

[sweet phoenix]

Well hopefully the gpu lasts until Saturday when I get the 1080

If not it's uhd 730 gaming

[gilded kraken]

oooof

you can hit a whole stardew valley 100% completion run on that

Man

[unreal trail]

[safe cape]

not bad

[wary fjord]

Am4 is goat

[sinful blade]

I’d get it if I had the spare money

Just need a PSU and storage

[safe cape]

yeah +100$

[tranquil pebble]

I put a 5700x3d in mine

[proud jackal]

do i need 9800x3d

[random osprey]

no

stinky amd

[gilded kraken]

welp about what I expected for a full rebuild

maybe another 2-3 hundo depending on what the 5080 demands

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jxGV3w

swapping out the 7800x3d for a 9800x3d and the 4080 super for the AIO cooled 5080, gonna be fuuuuun

tax is gonna murder me

[sinful blade]

That is definitely a build

[sweet phoenix]

can i help you pls

[sinful blade]

Do you really need that case+mobo+psu+gpu model

[gilded kraken]

the 5080 AIO yea, case is for the easy set up of dual 420/360 aio's its going to require

mobo is for the many nvme its going to be packed with that im transfering from my current rig

[gilded kraken]

if you like, its being designed a specific way so theres only so much wiggle

dont think the case comes with fans

[sweet phoenix]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/c9rtt3

you can do you with the aesthetic, and i forgot to take the extra fans out

but if you do go with the o11, get the k12s instead of those noctua fans

[gilded kraken]

allright, they are probably going to be moved anyways once the 5080 hits, as I will be side mounting its AIO

probably twin 120's for the rear exhaust

[sweet phoenix]

$377 is just absolutely ridiculous

[gilded kraken]

its the wrong price

[sweet phoenix]

no case should be over $200

oh

how much is it?

[gilded kraken]

its out of stock on NG so its normally like just over 200

[sweet phoenix]

thats... slightly more reasonable

still don't like it when it's 4x the price of that montech xr lol

[gilded kraken]

Im ditching my meshify 2 XL for something a little less silly

[sweet phoenix]

have you looked at some other options for cases that look like the o11?

like the nv5, sky two, xt view, king 95

hate that im mentioning it but the h6/h7

[gilded kraken]

yea, there were some specific build options I liked on the 011 xl

[sweet phoenix]

ah alr

im a fan of the o11 vision

esp at $120

[gilded kraken]

like motherboard adjustment, vertical mount gpu options, and 420 support

[sweet phoenix]

tbf

the 7800x3d can be cooled by an amd stock cooler

[gilded kraken]

AIO is 420 because its dumb quiet and I hate fan noise

[sweet phoenix]

a dual tower would be dead silent w any am5 cpu as long as it has quiet fans

like the phantom spirit evo

its either k12s or b12s on it

[gilded kraken]

yea I considered that. Im not sold on my current config, just kinda getting a ballpark

[sweet phoenix]

i definitely wouldnt spend more than $250 on an am5 mobo

[gilded kraken]

nvme storage is my main concern on going anything other than a E

[sweet phoenix]

the $190 riptide has everything you could need alr, pcie 5.0, 4 nvme slots, tons of usb ports

sorry 3 m.2 slots

plus one E

so 10tb m.2 storage if you did a 2tb main drive and added 2 4tb later

if you wanted 4 or 5 id still spend much less

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/N9XV3C/gigabyte-x670-gaming-x-ax-v2-atx-am5-motherboard-x670-gaming-x-ax-v2

[gilded kraken]

I have 2 on my current rig Im going to be moving over plus some old 1 tb sata drives. I wanted to swap full nvme if I can

[sweet phoenix]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/bGfxFT/msi-mag-x670e-tomahawk-wifi-atx-am5-motherboard-mag-x670e-tomahawk-wifi

with one of those you'd have 14tb with a 2tb boot drive

if you need more than that i fear sata is the answer

[gilded kraken]

I might grab a 4tb game drive, I havent decided yet

[sweet phoenix]

as in a 4tb secondary?

[gilded kraken]

move my os from the old sata SSD to the 2tb

yea, I split up my drives depending on game file demands

[sweet phoenix]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NmCgXR

[gilded kraken]

so games that require more streaming off the drive I tend to go with a faster drive, ect

[sweet phoenix]

imo the blackout look would be really cool

also both of those ssds rival the 980 pro and 990 variants

[gilded kraken]

hmmn, I shall consider this. though I need to go lift weights so I shall return and I will see what I come up with at the end of the year when I start nabbing bits

[lone mango]

https://tenor.com/view/catc-catcoi-catcoin-catcoin2013-catcoin-2013-gif-9241521805276747010

Is this real

[sweet phoenix]

yes

[lone mango]

[storm narwhal]

P3 plus 4tb is also a great value

As a secondary drive

[wooden marten]

i am absolutely flabbergasted rn

somehow despite the outlet literally being turned off

i was still able to power and use 2 monitors

and on top of that the wifi extender which connects to my pc via ethernet was completly off yet my pc still had internet

and it still said i was connected from ethernet

i dont know how long its been like that

[gilded kraken]

its no caffeine blend luckily

waaait did msi discontinue its AIO cooled 4080

[wary fjord]

Deym console beats my pc

XD

[gilded kraken]

holy snap they did, they put a AIO inside a 4080 instead

only the 4090 has an AIO

well dang, my build wont work the same if thats the case

[rancid juniper]

lol

[wary fjord]

[weak cedar]

Ya there us water parks in that one and oathing fix but I did a refund because they dint use the steam workshop. They use there own workshop

And I think you need there account to download the extra parks and creations people make as well

even if you have a TV streaming plan you can just use an external thing for it

[storm narwhal]

Yeah that's the plan lol

I just need the TV bit

Hypothetically

MiniPC

Like one of those n100 ones just as the smart bit of the TV

[tranquil pebble]

personally I would use my Orange Pi

[storm narwhal]

I do not own a pi

But I also don't own a minipc

Hm

[tranquil pebble]

mini PC would be more flexible though

[storm narwhal]

Wtf

FireStick sized PC

[tranquil pebble]

an AM4 or AM5 sbc would be cool ngl

if AM4 I could reuse my 3700x in it

[storm narwhal]

I'm pretty sure I remember Minisforum having a b550 minipc thing

Am4 socket

https://store.minisforum.com/pages/b550-pro

Yes siree

[tranquil pebble]

5800x3d got scalped to hell, sadly

not that I would put one in a mini PC

[tranquil pebble]

not surprising when I saw an AM4 laptop at one point

[wary fjord]

Oh I didnt even notice that

I was hyperfocused on threadripper

Yeah the apu would go crazy

60 would be amazing, but 40 would already be enough

If AMD makes it happen
It'll cost like 700 bucks

@velvet summit i got the powerline adapters but somethings not working correctly

The 2 adapters connect and create a signal perfectly fine

[craggy shoal]

turn off your lights

[gilded kraken]

SUBMIT TO THE FOOOOOD

[wooden marten]

But when i turn on my pc they loose connection with eachother

When i turn the pc off they reconnect

[craggy shoal]

too much power going through them? I think it creates a dirty signal

[wooden marten]

They aren’t connected to the same socket

its the same room yes but different outlets

[craggy shoal]

It's still on the same line(?) (I'm not an electrician)

[wooden marten]

Yeah ik

[craggy shoal]

Try putting it in the next room over or something and see what happens

[wary fjord]

what kind of redstone setup is that

xD

maybe something handle your line load.. your pc socket got the priority.

[craggy shoal]

Sounds like a NAND gate. both true? equals false

something like that

[royal halo]

one W I D E 1440p monitor or two 27 inches? 70% for work, 30% for play.

[sweet phoenix]

What type of work?

[royal halo]

Stocks. No need for color accuracy.

[sweet phoenix]

You want either multiple monitors or a wide-screen bigger than 34

If you're doing day trading

What's your budget for the monitors, and how much room do you have?

[sweet phoenix]

And for the gaming side, what gpu and cpu do you have?

[sinful blade]

Send me some stocks

[royal halo]

More than enough to run 1440p 144hz but idk if an ultrawide can replicate what i want. Ideally, I have one big monitor that can act as 3 screens.

[sweet phoenix]

Imo I'd rather just have three screens, from what I've seen it gets annoying splitting one uw into 3

You could even do one 34" uw in the middle with two smaller side monitors

It's a lot of options, but this is what I'd pick from, imo with one of the $140+ monitors for your main display, and then either the 1080p one or the $142 one for side monitors
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/M4YqqH

[royal halo]

think i could mount one 32 below two 27s?

[royal halo]

cant do that but i can slide you a tip

[sweet phoenix]

Probably? Really depends on your space. I've never dealt with monitor mounts before

[royal halo]

You got a recommendation for a solid 32-34 1440p 144hz?

[sweet phoenix]

There's some 34" options in here

Ill grab a 32

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/BkzXsY/gigabyte-gs32q-315-2560-x-1440-170-hz-monitor-gs32q

I used to have two 1080p monitors (60 and 144hz) paired with a 1440p monitor a few years back and windows did NOT like dealing with variable refresh rates and resolutions. Please tell me this is fixed.

Here's is a list of company's that were up +5% on the day who have earning calls tomorrow (11/6). Earnings can be really good or REALLY bad. But if they're up the day before means the vibe is good. All of them are under $20 a share and all of them are low float (the amount of shares that can be bought and sold is low). Low float means it the price can rise and fall quickly.

[storm narwhal]

Out of context it just sounds like you're insane

And that was all I could manage before I had to sell it for rent

[royal halo]

you dudes nerd out about PC's, I nerd out on this stuff.

[royal halo]

I'm putting together a list. Whos your broker?

I had a 6700 with a 1080. First PC i built myself.

[sinful blade]

I use cashapp to do it.
That’s what I use for my taxes cuz it’s free.

[sinful blade]

Lucky.

[royal halo]

I still to this day use that same 1080 lol

its in my work pc (the one im on now).

[royal halo]

No my brother. Who do you use to buy stocks.

I ask because low float stocks are often cheap (under $20) and big brokers who cater to big ballers often will not list them.

[sweet phoenix]

That's the refresh rate difference

And you need to have monitors either at the same refresh rates, or multiples of eachother

Like 60 240 120 in a three monitor setup is fine

60 240 144 wouldnt be

At least that's what @mortal grail says, I've ran three different refresh rate monitors together without issue, 60, 75, 165, and i think 60 144 60

But I've heard of many people having issues with the different refresh rates, I don't know why I didn't

They were all also different resolutions lmao

1050p 1080p 1440p

[royal halo]

Im looking to replace everything. Best to just stick with three of the same?

[sweet phoenix]

Imo no, id get two of those 144hz 1080p monitors for your side, or the 1440p asrock one at $140

If you went w that one for your main one too that'd be fine, but it is the worst of the monitors

[royal halo]

im about to annoy tf out of you my b

[sweet phoenix]

A 170hz monitor can do 144hz too

[craggy shoal]

I love my 170Hz panel

[sweet phoenix]

Idc it's your money my dude

I'm just telling you what would give you the best value and functionality without diminishing returns

In my opinion anyways, that is subjective

[storm narwhal]

800hz ultrawide va

[sweet phoenix]

Real

[royal halo]

The 34 inch I want to play games on. The two others for work. Hz matter not for the two secondaries. But I need fps for Rust.'

[craggy shoal]

That’s the goofiest setup I’ve ever read 💀

[storm narwhal]

If the stock market is held back by the speed of light you must remove any disadvantage

Obviously

[royal halo]

if you find a negative tick monitor...lets a guy know...

[storm narwhal]

If it can break the laws of physics and display even a second ahead

I will

The aliens might stop me first though

Just pull the plug on my existence

[royal halo]

we can take em

i got a shotgun and a deagle, let em come

yall are mad funny

[storm narwhal]

Ultrawide on top of two 1080p monitors?

[royal halo]

yeah

[storm narwhal]

Not sure how you'd have space for that but it would work

[craggy shoal]

With a 480-degree curve for super ultra immersion

[royal halo]

big desk, would that work?

[storm narwhal]

Daytrading I'm pretty sure you need multiple monitors for easier time organizing it all

There were a few who had like, many

[royal halo]

one big boi and two little ones ABOVE it would be really nice

[storm narwhal]

Maybe monitor arms on one of those central support poles

[royal halo]

you got a recommendation for arms?

[craggy shoal]

Deagle

[royal halo]

got one next

[storm narwhal]

I don't have any unfortunately

[pliant berry]

I have some from ergotron

from what seb was saying if you want them to go on top the extension pole might have to be pretty tall

[storm narwhal]

Though I would say I agree with bacca

[sweet phoenix]

So I'd grab one of the 34" monitors i linked in the list and either the 1080p or cheapest 1440p monitor for side monitors

[storm narwhal]

Yuh

[royal halo]

you all are the experts here, whatever yall recommend im doing. idk where to start.

[sweet phoenix]

You could save a lil bit if you want lower refresh rate side monitors but imo it'll just complicate things

[storm narwhal]

Second monitor doesn't need to be anything crazy

[sweet phoenix]

Like matching a 75hz monitor with 144hz i think you'd have to set a custom resolution for 70hz and 140hz

[royal halo]

In MY HEAD, having two monitors above the ultrawide would be more, ergonomic?

feel free to disagree
