That's a personal preference fs

storm narwhal
#

You'd always be looking up

sweet phoenix
#

You can always move them around, you might like a vertical mount?

royal halo
#

or nah?

sweet phoenix
#

Also I'm not sure how the monitors I linked work with mounts, id def decide on that and check compatibility before ordering anything

storm narwhal
#

I'm used to looking to the side

wary fjord
storm narwhal
#

Never had the space for up

wary fjord
#

no rules about it

sweet phoenix
storm narwhal
#

If you think up is good then it is good

sweet phoenix
storm narwhal
#

Yeah that's fair

#

But a 34" main then one of the 1080 ones as a second

dusk knot
royal halo
#

IDK whats best thats why Im asking yall for your opinion.

storm narwhal
#

In terms of placement it's personal preference though 100%

#

You could kinda like map it out a bit with some painters tape

royal halo
storm narwhal
#

Slap it on the wall and see how you feel

#

Hmm

#

Well, I'd get a Herman Miller first off

royal halo
storm narwhal
#

No yeah fr tho I'd probably put the second monitor above if I could

#

Main one at eye level

royal halo
storm narwhal
#

Sounds like up is the way to go lol

wary fjord
#

the new hogwart update was lit

Usually im locked in on my PC

"Why do you want a PC to play games?"
Games on PC:

royal halo
#

up down, left right, 1 monitor or 6.

sweet phoenix
#

Good option for the side monitors

worn wave
#

Not good for your neck to be angled up a lot

sweet phoenix
#

Most people doing day trading would stack monitors

royal halo
#

plus the base comes off

#

-$300 give me a badass ultrawide that doesnt break $700.

#

Ill figure out the ergonomics later.

craggy shoal

#

Any recomendations for a 1440p wide under $700 usd?

wary fjord
#

hehe

#

college student smurfing on math app

#

vs elementary students xD

#

thats diabolical . theres pvp on this app..

trying to get out of discord before 11pm est.

wary fjord
#

why is it so low now xD

#

theres some article it claims its 200k+ xD

royal halo
wary fjord
#

oh not my kidney

#

i mean no

royal halo
#

you have two

deep parcel
#

when you get a transplant, usually they just leave the old kidney in you

#

so youd have 3 kidneys

wary fjord
#

why

#

will that get calcified

#

its dying

deep parcel
#

basically if it isnt causing issues, they just leave it in

royal halo
wary fjord
#

deym

wary fjord
#

so now u have 3 points where u can get easly hurt if u get punched

deep parcel
#

wary fjord
#

hahaha

royal halo

#

not quite

royal halo
#

^ quite

wary fjord
#

it buldges

#

haahha

deep parcel
#

roughly somewhere in there

wary fjord
#

owwww

royal halo
deep parcel
#

like lower abdomin area

royal halo
#

no no

wary fjord
#

i dint know the kidney is below the ribs xD

#

i thought its on the tummy side

#

above pelvis

royal halo
#

in your 1st diagram it would be below the hanging gonads (balls)

deep parcel
#

the bladder isnt that that close to the genitalia

royal halo
deep parcel
#

I mean I guess it depends but like still theres a lot of room between the kidneys and the bladder to have the transplanted kidney still in the lower abdomen area

wary fjord
#

i should not skip biology xD

#

xD

deep parcel
#

lol

storm narwhal
#

Its still safe

royal halo

#

Your kidney is in my heart 🫶💜

storm narwhal
#

Theres no space for a kidney in the thigh

deep parcel
royal halo
#

what does an organ do if it can do nothing?

storm narwhal
#

Nothing

royal halo
#

dies

storm narwhal
#

I'd say like the appendix

deep parcel
#

it will just shrink over time for the unused kidney

storm narwhal
#

But it does aid in immune response

sweet phoenix
#

Any monitor over 144hz can

storm narwhal
#

There is a lot of immune system related tissue in the appendix

royal halo
sweet phoenix
#

Budget for it?

royal halo
#

^ 700

icy ore
#

Omg

#

I found her

sweet phoenix
storm narwhal
#

NO WAY

royal halo
icy ore
#

ITS HER BRO

storm narwhal
#

But the extra kidney just shrinks but it'll still be there

#

No point removing and increasing risk if it's not beneficial

royal halo
storm narwhal
#

If it somehow becomes a tumor

velvet summit
storm narwhal
#

Sure I guess lol

#

But that's a separate issue

royal halo
#

climate change blows

#

everyone here can agree to that

storm narwhal
#

It sucks, even

#

I will always maintain that if there is a blow, there must be an equal and opposite suck

royal halo
#

*pokes fire

royal halo
wary fjord
#

how does it work

#

thats the best filtering system

#

it filters the blood each pump

#

@latent robin you ever check dms?

storm narwhal
#

Flow rate reduction by 65%

wary fjord
#

hahaha

storm narwhal
#

Its not an ultrafine dust mesh in your kidney

royal halo
storm narwhal
#

See in a closed system

royal halo
#

yes

sinful blade
storm narwhal
#

If you heat it up and were somehow able to keep the thermal energy from spreading

storm narwhal
#

You would have a hot and cold

latent robin
# sinful blade <@185276867480125440> you ever check dms?

I did! Ty I’m trying to figure out which has the best service plan/warranty in case something goes wrong because I won’t be able to do anything like that myself for the next 18months (bedridden from surgeries) I think Newegg probably does but I need to find a build that factors that extra 200-300$ in

storm narwhal
#

Alternatively, in an open system, applying heat will mean it seeks out the colder areas

#

Entropy and thermodynamics

royal halo
sinful blade
#

If you know how to not Bork the CPU, you’ll be alright

royal halo
#

memes aside, explain.

storm narwhal
#

Well think of it like this

#

If you have a cold room

royal halo
#

ok

storm narwhal
#

You use a space heater

#

The heat comes from that side

wary fjord
storm narwhal
#

But the other side of the room is still cold, for the time being

#

So you have a warm and cold part of the room when you turn on the heater

royal halo
#

^ convection im following

storm narwhal
#

Of course if time passes, the kinetic energy spreads to the other air particles and heats up

fair onyx
#

I hope Intel merges with AMD and not Qualcomm. Mom and I own stock in both Intel and AMD so I see it as an absolute win haha

storm narwhal
#

Since temperatue is just a measure of average kinetic energy of the gas particles in a specific volume of air

#

In this case at least

#

Systems like equilibrium as well

royal halo
#

Youre mistaken

storm narwhal
#

So the heat is going to spread across the room until it's all even

royal halo
#

thermal heat (radiant heat) isnt kinetic.

fair onyx
#

Convention is such a minute force is basically irrelevant for computer thermals if you have any form of powered airflow. Gamers nexus explained that as well

royal halo
#

radiant heat is a dispora of energy.

fair onyx
#

And Sebastian is talking about thermal dispersion, which is real and does happen after a certain amount of time through particle interactions, surface radiation, and convection

storm narwhal
#

Heat is kind of stupid tbh

royal halo
#

correct but is not kenetic

fair onyx
#

Agreed. I vote to abolish it

fair onyx
storm narwhal
#

Heat is just relative

#

But yeah temperature itself is avg kinetic energy

royal halo
fair onyx
#

Actually no, heat IS kinetic

royal halo
#

i spelt that incorrectly.

#

convective.

fair onyx
#

It's the kinetic energy of particle excitement

#

CONVECTION however is not kinetic

storm narwhal
#

That's just transfer of energy

fair onyx
#

It's based on density, the movement is supplemental

royal halo
fair onyx
#

That's not even the AI lol

But the AI also said that

royal halo
#

Convection is the transfer of energy without mass.

#

So how can what you described be convection?

fair onyx
#

I missed anything else in the convo lol

#

Convection is an incredibly weak force unless purposely engineered to be strong

storm narwhal
#

Its been a few years since my last thermodynamics course ngl

fair onyx
#

Let me read back up. Any body have a link to the body of the claim/problem?

royal halo
#

Bot just hit me with a ban so I must be careful.

fair onyx
#

Oh oop

storm narwhal
#

Not really lol

fair onyx
#

Please do be lmao

#

I'm pretty sure people have had dozens of infractions tho with no issues

storm narwhal
#

I was just meming around

#

There's a specific term for the spreading of heat until the system reaches equilibrium I'm pretty sure

royal halo
storm narwhal
#

More like medical physics

#

For which thermodynamics 1 was a requisite but

#

Its cool to revisit and see how much I forget I guess lol

royal halo
#

thermodynamics 1 aint a class pimp

royal halo
storm narwhal
#

If I just crush it fast enough between my hands

royal halo

helium is inert

Steam Game Recording has been designed with the goal of taking as little computer resources away from the game you are playing as possible. It takes advantage of NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards to remove most of the performance cost of creating video recordings. When run on systems without those graphics cards, the system's CPU is used to create video recordings which may cause a noticeable performance impact on those systems.

chat how bad is the the ryzen 3200u cpu

#

like my father has it and i've been using his laptop ever since mine died

#

and its actually awfull

#

the cursour lags the text is delayed and it all just feels slow

#

i literly have a disadvantage while playing chess.com its that bad , I CAN"T PLAY 2D CHESS

#

is the 3200u that bad or does he have a bitcoin miner or something

pseudo raven
#

ngl it shouldnt have a problem playing chess.com

storm narwhal
#

I think steam game stream uses NVENC encoding

worthy meteor
#

3200u is terrible, 2 core zen CPU, don't expect to multitask at all, like having any other programs open with chrome open

pseudo raven
#

oh yeah

#

amd laptops got much better 4th gen

#

i think

#

or 4000 i mean

worthy meteor
#

Anything that's not zen and anything that's not 2 core is fine

#

Zen+ isn't good but fine, zen 2 and beyond starts to get good

pseudo raven
#

i think 4000 was zen 2 yeah

#

actually they did some weird stuff with the skus

#

i remember half the newer skus not being zen 2

storm narwhal
#

Steam does have the option for NvFBC

oak gale
#

but even with like 3 tabs running , its horrible

worthy meteor
#

It's then making the newer skus being like 5720, which looks like zen 3, but actually zen 2

worthy meteor
storm narwhal
#

any background program running might cause the issues

worthy meteor
#

Given that the cpu is so bad there's a decent chance it's running off an HDD too

"One CPU to rule them all"

Alright then

craggy shoal

I mean go look at the benchmarks

devout forum
#

that is what I'm doing right now

#

and seeing GN Steve not be upset is relieving

#

Today has been a good day :3

craggy shoal
#

I figured lol

#

I guess I need a new CPU despite already getting a 7900X just a few months ago

#

A good 20 fps in Cyberpunk?

also

5.2 GHz boost held indefinitely

craggy shoal
# craggy shoal pffft

I like seeing that the 7800X3D was already way better than everything else below it (everything below it was marginal) and then there's the 9800X3D

devout forum
#

it does run hotter tho

craggy shoal
#

It's more than likely the same TDP so probably the same temps

#

Just checked. Yeah they're TDPs are both 120W

devout forum
#

Stellaris sees a huge win tho

#

25.8s against the 31.3s of the 7800X3D

#

Paradox gamers are gonna be snapping this up like hotcakes

upper hawk
#

Wow damn blew my expectations

devout forum
#

I guess it IS somehow a worthy upgrade to the 7800X3D

craggy shoal
#

Man I wish he included 7900X benchmarks lol

devout forum
#

Which means
Cheaper used 7800X3Ds maybe? :3

craggy shoal
#

Probably

#

AMD fanboys are gonna upgrade because their 7800X3D is "outdated"

devout forum
#

I want to upgrade to at least 8 cores

#

and if I can get X3D, why not right?

craggy shoal
#

$480 is nuts though. I'm asking for that for Christmas lolll

craggy shoal
devout forum
#

7600X

#

it'd likely be a big uplift

craggy shoal
#

That's not too bad but yeah the 9800X3D would be a huge upgrade from that. Like adding a big turbo to your stock Camry

devout forum
#

though against the 14700K I was planning to upgrade, idk

#

it'd depend on price and multicore perf

devout forum
craggy shoal
#

💀

devout forum
#

99 watts drawn too

#

Not too shabby

#

NGL, multicore is looking spiffy too

#

@craggy shoal IDK if it'd be better than a 14700K for streaming like I intend to use it

#

but it is MIGHTY close

craggy shoal
#

I mean nobody uses a CPU for streaming anymore anyways

devout forum
#

oh?

#

It's all on the GPU now?

craggy shoal
#

this mf never heard of NVENC

#

or AMF

devout forum
#

has an AMD GPU

unreal trail
craggy shoal
#

yeah so AMF

devout forum
#

6000 series at that

craggy shoal
#

yeah

#

AMF

devout forum
#

I'm not really keeping up

#

is it good?

ancient swift
#

It's on par with Nvenc iirc

craggy shoal
#

Release? Nah AMD did their thing. Then it got better. But I've since gotten a 4070 Super after my 6800 XT started to die. I'm sure it's even better now

#

Yeah it's not bad

ancient swift
#

In regards to your cpu I'd pay more attention to the game you're running and the amount of programs you're running more than anything.

devout forum
#

so realistically mid tier CPUs are fine

#

interesting

ancient swift
#

Depending on the game yeah

#

Cause game, discord, obs, and anything else will still be using cores.

devout forum
#

It's a weird spot

#

E-cores should be really useful for background things

Still the worst hw encoder ☠️
Apple silicon has the best hw encoder (ranked by quality)
Then qsv (Intel)
Then nvenc (Nvidia)
Then amf (AMD)

yellyfin you mean ubuntu?\

velvet summit

No, I mean for the specific use case of jellyfin

craggy shoal
#

lmao. Going to buy a GPU for hardware encoding your streaming? Just get the new Mac Mini and use OBS with NDI. Now you can stream at 4K 120fps with ease

#

That's what I would do if I had an unlimited budget tbh. But AMF is fine enough tbh

#

AMD wins again

craggy shoal
#

Now they have to make GPUs that actually compete

#

(Actually only for Nvidia to make their 5090 and dominate what will probably be AMD's 8900 XTX)

sage sluice
dusk knot
#

But I think that’s impossible

craggy shoal
#

Honestly would be nice though

sage sluice
#

Im hoping amd goes "I lied, here are some top end gpus so nvidia actually has competition"

#

But tbf thatd be a buyers market

craggy shoal
#

ngl I hope AMD starts putting tensor cores in their GPUs. "But that would raise the price of AMD GPUs" yeah but it would theoretically decrease the price of Nvidia GPUs

sinful blade
#

Intel shirking away from their gpu market is sad

sage sluice
#

Intel is sad

craggy shoal
#

Or honestly maybe it would be better if Intel put AI in their GPUs. They suck at gaming so they might as well focus elsewhere to get Nvidia's prices lower. Because $700 for 12GB is nuts. That's a top-end GPU in 2016

Glad to see my 5800x3d doesn’t need a replacement. Feels great. I just need a GPU upgrade.

heyo o/ got recommended this disc from a friend. is there anywhere i can ask about a microphone/pc issue im having if possible?

lone mango
#

Still though that launch price is insane

#

$600 in 06 onononono cryingcryingcrying

stark wedge
#

to simplify, my mic today suddenly started playing either a very echoey voice, or very loud bass boosted metalic/electronic static like sound. Ive tried changing cable adapters, using my thx audio thing, reinstalling drivers, reverting to a slightly older graphics driver. nothing has worked 😔

#

im starting to beilieve it can be an issue with my pc, but not sure. first time this has happened since ive gotten this pc around 4-5 years ago from cyberpowerpc

lone mango
#

Are other people hearing it or just you

stark wedge
#

lemme check rq, so far ive tested just the test mic feature but ill check rq in a call

#

it was working for a sec but then friends said the same sound as well 😔

lone mango
stark wedge
#

PFFT- yeah no exactly what i thought as well, it sounded like it

#

i really wonder what is causing the issue, or if it's my mic ports

lone mango
#

What is the setup

wary fjord
#

Nah jk aside what kind is ur mic

lone mango
#

usb or 3.5m jacks or what

wary fjord
#

Check the mic settings

#

Disable all effects

stark wedge
#

3.5m jack yeah, and uhh razer kraken tournament edition. bought it around a year ago, doesnt seem to have any damages though. tested on another old headset same issue sadly 😔 and disabled, enabled enhancesments etc

wary fjord
#

Maybe the mic has built in effects too if turning the effects on windows dint help

#

Does it have software or something

#

Check the the amp section

lone mango
stark wedge
#

yeahh but i disabled all the software stuff, i think software only works with thx though which i normally dont use cuz, mid (imo though ofc, i respect others)

lone mango
#

Yeah thats why I was asking if other people were hearing it

stark wedge
#

yeahhh unfortunately

lone mango
#

Have you tried different jacks

wary fjord
#

Maybe your wall socket is not grounded

nocturne flicker
wary fjord

Or badly wired

lone mango

I wonder if those usb to 3.5m adapters would help

I remember using one for a good while at one point

For my laptop

Maybe

lone mango

My jack was messed up on my old laptop

ima take a pic of my cable rq on one headset, cuz just tested apparently friends said it works pretty decently on my other headset, but on my main it aint working, so maybe it can be headset??

lone mango
#

You might have to turn down the volume a lot though if you get one

wary fjord
#

Your mic sounds like its clipping

lone mango
wary fjord
#

Pre amp to bass + clipping

#

Thats gonna destroy your mic membrane xD

stark wedge

okay got a pic of mic cable, maybe this could be a problem but not sure where i can post it

and if it correlates to the problem, since yesterday it was working completely fine

lone mango

here

#

nbd

wary fjord
#

Have u tried it on other pc?

#

Friends pc?

#

Then we know if its ur pc fault

Or mics fault at all

stark wedge

cant go to friends house 😔 i can try on a laptop but not sure if itll work on there. buttt, cant post image here in general of the cable

wary fjord

It should work on laptop

#

Why not

cuz i do see some odd parts to it but hasnt been an issue ever

ooo alr ill try it

ohhh yeah that's valid especially on bigger servers like this

might be headset but not sure how 😭 was working fine yesterday and nothing changed on it

Really interesting how the 9800x3d runs cooler than the 78 while using more power

lone mango
#

I guess its the cache being under the cores that are helping

stark wedge
#

okay made sure, it's 100% my headset BUT, im not sure what caused it to suddenly stop working.

stark wedge
#

i do have a picture which might correlate to the problem but not sure if it is the problem

velvet summit
#

a year is long enough of use to potentially get some internal break(s) in the cable

stark wedge
#

yk how overtime sometimes the cable develops like, some curves/bends? not sure how to explain it

#

i just find it very funny how my razer kraken from 6 years ago still works but my tournament edition, which costed 2-3x the price broke in a year 😭

worn wave
#

im going almost 5 years now on my kraken TE, no cable issues. But could be a defect or handling issue.

velvet summit
#

cheap wires just do that

#

you could technically mod the headset with new wires but not really worth it on razer headphones

stark wedge
#

is there one of you i can send an image to about the uhh cable thing im talking about, i dont know if there's a term for it, and maybe it could be the issue

lone mango
lone mango
worn wave
#

dm me a pic and ill post it here

nah, it's in the middle of the cable, in some areas

#

and oo alr

velvet summit
#

for your next headphones just get like a pc38x which has a replaceable cable (without taking apart the headphones to solder new ones)

#

better microphone than on those crappy razer headsets

#

lmao

#

not the greatest mic ever but good enough for most

worn wave
#

@stark wedge

stark wedge
#

yee those things

worn wave
#

yeah... that's a user issue dude

stark wedge
#

ohhh, i dont know how to prevent those or cause of em 😔 never happened on my old one but, the material on the cable is diffrent

worn wave
#

could try to unkink them, not sure if there's a specific method

velvet summit
#

for future cables try to straighten them first

worn wave
stark wedge
#

would one of those like covers for cables be good to prevent that? i have an adapted which is like, not sure the material but it never bends fully and it's pretty durable

velvet summit
#

idk, every razer headset i've heard were garbage as headset mics

#

some of them are good for ommnidirectional but that's not something you would want from a headset mic

velvet summit
stark wedge
#

i think it's called nylon braided cable???

#

oooo

velvet summit
#

braiding on cables mostly is just for aesthetics, doesnt really protect the cable (more than without it) at all

stark wedge
#

ohh, it feels almost like, metalic though and stiff thought it was more durable

worn wave
stark wedge
#

or well, atleast compared to the headset

velvet summit
#

stiff isnt what you would want in a cable

stark wedge
#

yeahhh valid

velvet summit
#

nice and flexible is a good quality cable

#

well, flexible with proper strain relief on the connectors

stark wedge
#

should i get same headset with like, some cover for the cable to prevent it, diff headset or any tips on how to prevent the cable problem easier?

worn wave
#

uhh

#

be nice to your cable?

velvet summit
#

like i said earlier, just having a proper quality cable you would not need to do anything to it

worn wave
#

like no offense meanut but mine is 5 years ond and looks and works fine

velvet summit
#

and make sure there's no kinks in the cable

#

similar to how garden hoses will get damaged from kinks there as well

#

water explosion 💥

stark wedge
#

ooo alr will try do better. im surprised how my normal edition vs TE lasted. Is the cable on the normal better or did i misstreat my TE badly 😭

velvet summit

#

This is my general headset cable setup

velvet summit
#

damn that's one of the worst freq response consistency i've seen on headphones AINTNOWAY

stark wedge
#

PFFT-

worn wave
velvet summit
#

true

#

over ears arent good for commute and stuff but i find it funny that it scored terribly in every filter lmao

#

also that sound profile is also

#

interesting...

worn wave
#

oh like L/R being different?

velvet summit
#

i guess it is a gamer headphone so it could just be a better response for games or smth idk

velvet summit
worn wave
#

I find them great for gaming. Definitely prefer other things (usually my airpods) for music

velvet summit
#

basically how well it seals depending on how you put it on and if you wear glasses or not

lone mango
worn wave
#

that makes sense cause the earcups are pretty large & can shift around on your head. Gotta get used to putting them in the same position

lone mango
#

Those cables do like to do those

velvet summit
#

ok i finally got to the part with the microphone test (i wanted to hear the recorded audio) and yeah it's good enough

lone mango
#

I havent used the blackshark in a while but the cable material is good

velvet summit
#

pc38x has a noticably better headphone from a/b testing but it wasnt as big as i thought it would be, the TE microphone does exceed my low expectations for razer in terms of mics at least lmao

lone mango
#

The mic is not bad at all either

#

Drivers are not that good though but for gaming its not bad at all

velvet summit
#

price for the pc38x would probably be worth the upgrade though lmao

worn wave
#

Probably depends if you care about audio quality or just want something for gaming

#

idk about the pc38x but I've seen the Kraken TE lower in price in the past

velvet summit
#

it goes on sale on drop.com somewhat frequently for like, 130 iirc?

#

140 it seems

worn wave
#

all-time low for pc38x is a single sale at $130 with most sales at $150
all-time low for kraken TE is $47 with average sales more like $70
Kraken TE price seems to have gone up recently with less sales, I wonder if razer isn't making them anymore

#

^from an amazon price tracker

velvet summit
#

full price, i wouldnt

worn wave
#

I'd say up to $75 its a pretty good pick for gaming. $90+ seems a bit much

stark wedge
#

any recommendations for a good gaming headset? around same audio quality both mic and volume? looking for sumn 50-80$ dollar range with a good cable fr

stark wedge
#

ooo will do

velvet summit
#

best price to performance would be using IEMs

sweet phoenix
#

Some people here might have some reccs but you'll get a more detailed answer there imo

sweet phoenix
#

Specifically on user

#

It might be best price/perf, but being unable to wear them longer than an hour due to being uncomfortable would suck

#

Personally I can't do earbuds for too long

velvet summit
#

well, in terms of quality for the price, iems would pretty much always win (in the reasonable non-audiophile centered iem land handcrafted to perfection or whatever) due to material costs, but yeah comfort could be an issue

#

you can get completely custom molded eartips which would prevent this but it's somewhat expensive
