A bear walked into a bar and asked for a beer. The wait was unbearable

[opaque sedge]

Eh

The blind guy one was better

Oooh wbt the mushroom one

A mushroom walks into a bar

The bartender says “we dont serve your kind here”

The mushroom then says “why im a fungi”

[proud jackal]

[dusk knot]

so guys....is a 500 dollar gaming pc not good enough?

[craggy shoal]

no 💀

actually idk

for what?

[dusk knot]

gaming

[craggy shoal]

nah

[dusk knot]

what do you think is the bare minimum?

[craggy shoal]

$700 maybe

used parts

[mortal grail]

What did the pc ever do to you

Give it a chance

Smh

[dusk knot]

lol

its for my brother in law

need a solid 2024 build

[mortal grail]

You can build a pretty decent rig for 450-ish'

[proud jackal]

Tell that broke butt to get his own

[dusk knot]

thats the plan, theo

[mortal grail]

Yeah tell that broke butt Theo will pay for it I agree

[proud jackal]

[dusk knot]

true true. he should have enough "garbage" parts laying around to make a monster PC. theo doesnt need it

[craggy shoal]

yeah that's what I did

[mortal grail]

Pretty easy btw
Used 5500
Cheap af AM4 with bios flash
16gb ddr4 used for $20
500GB of literally any ssd
5700XT $120
Any case, garbage dived preferred
$50 apevia prestige 600W

[dusk knot]

how hard is it to find those parts?

[mortal grail]

Not that hard

Just a question of price

[dusk knot]

right

[craggy shoal]

speaking of this, do y'all think a Hyper 212 Evo from like 2015/2016 is enough for a 13700K? I'd probably do a push-pull config (yeah push-pull config on the heatsink. Two fans instead of one)

^^ I mean this genuinely but I already know the answer. Just wanna see what y'all think 💀

[dusk knot]

I dont see my bro spending more than 1k. He grew up around consoles and arcades his whole life

[nocturne flicker]

Stack the fans

2 on each side

[craggy shoal]

that's what I was thinking 💀

[mortal grail]

You know what I'm gonna say

💀

[craggy shoal]

might just weld a second heatsink to it tbh

[mortal grail]

I'm holding myself back

[dusk knot]

IDK the TDP

[nocturne flicker]

What if you glue two hyper 212s together

With a fan in the middle

[craggy shoal]

I mean it cooled my FX 8350 pretty well back in its day

[dusk knot]

@craggy shoal using that cooler is cutting it close

[craggy shoal]

💀

I figured

[mortal grail]

Oh god I'm holding myself back so much

[craggy shoal]

I mean...

[nocturne flicker]

I've got a modern black one on my 8350 build in push pull config

[mortal grail]

[craggy shoal]

GUYS I'M JOKING

[mortal grail]

THE VOICES

[dusk knot]

I PERSONALLY WOULDNT DO IT

[mortal grail]

THE VOICES ARE SCREAMING

MAKE IT STOP

[nocturne flicker]

You'll never know if you don't try

[craggy shoal]

I WOULDN'T DO IT EITHER AND I WASN'T EVEN THINKING ABOUT IT

[nocturne flicker]

[opaque sedge]

[mortal grail]

[craggy shoal]

Honestly I should just swap my whole Intel platform back into my main build

[dusk knot]

its worth it. its should last forever

[nocturne flicker]

or should I get one that has 4080 Super ?

[onyx merlin]

Really should not instantly judge people Morrenus

[onyx merlin]

was announced on speakers and nobody batted an eye or seemed to care..

but is 4080 Super any good for GPU or is it bland ?

just wondering if its worth it or should I stick to 4070 ?

for upgrade

[opaque sedge]

Depends on what ur expecting from ur pc

But in all honesty

[onyx merlin]

@opaque sedge well upgrading from 2070 super

[opaque sedge]

Rn building ur own pc will get u the best value

[misty sparrow]

there are two types of ray gun

[opaque sedge]

Two generation jump hmm the upgrade should be significant

[misty sparrow]

you could use some of that time you spend binge watching to build a PC

[onyx merlin]

@opaque sedge I would but my job is bad as I said above and i only get 1 day off a week and have to shop and do so much stuff... no time and I am too tired as well so once all my other tasks done I just like to binge watch tv/game

[opaque sedge]

Hmm fair but u will be paying a markup tho unfortunately

[onyx merlin]

ya sadly but it saves me precious time so I will pay... I make pretty decent money from all the overtime shoved down my gullet.

fun fact we cant even refuse it lol..

[opaque sedge]

But yh 4070 or 4070 super is great for 1440p gaming and 4080super if you want all the frames in 1440p or wanna play in 4k

I wouldn’t go 4080s without a suitable monitor

[misty sparrow]

it would go really well with the monitors posted in #tech-deals

or you could just get another 1440p monitor

[tranquil pebble]

every... single... day

[onyx merlin]

or mabey I will just hold off on new pc...

might just keep current one for another year or 2 still works fine.

[opaque sedge]

Could do that new gpu season is soon as well

[onyx merlin]

@opaque sedge ya waiting longer could get me better deal.

[dusk knot]

Can anyone make the best 500 dollar AMD build possible?

Could be 550

[gilded kraken]

[misty sparrow]

thats what i was about to say goddammit

no steamdeck

[misty sparrow]

let me guess, you need this for sweepstakes or something where you need to submit a build

[dusk knot]

no

for my brother in law

[velvet summit]

[opaque sedge]

Will prolly have to go am4 and a 6600 or 6650 if u want new parts ngl

[dusk knot]

🤔

[sinful blade]

What’s a gpu better than a 1080 or 1660super

Like within $170

Used

[dusk knot]

gotcha

[dusk knot]

going with a used 5700xt

[misty sparrow]

"minor laceration detected"

[opaque sedge]

How much will that leave for the rest of the parts?

[dusk knot]

theyre usually under 200 bucks on ebay

around 540 bucks for the whole build

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QkgjXR

thoughts?

[opaque sedge]

cpu of choice is def gon be 5500

[dusk knot]

oh

[opaque sedge]

i'm concerned abt mobo cuz b450 mobos seem to req a bios update for zen3

and theyre the cheapest

[dusk knot]

I choose a A520M

@sweet phoenix what gpu should I get

In reference to dm

[sweet phoenix]

There are a lot of options

5700xt is mostly a placeholder in that list anyways

[opaque sedge]

does he sell newer stuff too?

like a 3080

[dusk knot]

hhmmm

maybe I could go higher

[sweet phoenix]

Hes local only so unless you're near my state no luck

Meh

A 3070 with hot vram

[craggy shoal]

shift tab

[opaque sedge]

guys can 12gigs of vram do 4k

[sweet phoenix]

Depends on the games and what gpu

[sweet phoenix]

4070 ti can kind of

6700xt can run 4k valorant lol

[velvet summit]

that's honestly kinda lit

I mean for gaming i assume one doesn’t need a perfectly tuned headphone

[pseudo patrol]

3200 ddr4 but it’s capped at 2133 from mobo 😭

Oof what's the mobo?

[sweet phoenix]

Yeah they're just uncomfortable

Not great directional audio, which is very important for val

I've got a lot of things that come before a new headset though

[opaque sedge]

What was that drop exclusive senheiser headset that everyone recommends?

[sweet phoenix]

Wait what

[pseudo patrol]

It’s still my setup from my first pc build in 2020

[sweet phoenix]

That mobo can do literally any ram speed

And i gaurantee you that's why your frames are choppy

And an x870 will need an am5 cpu to run, let alone they don't really offer anything over a decent b650/b650e

[pseudo patrol]

I went to bios and changed that specific setting but it’s locked

[sweet phoenix]

And ddr5

[sweet phoenix]

That's something else, might need to update bios

[opaque sedge]

I found the name pc38x

Holy at the 100-200 range

[sweet phoenix]

Any x570 supports xmp

Even a520s do

Upgrade to am5 looks like
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/H7g66D

[pseudo patrol]

ye I was gonna do a whole mobo combo setup since majority of the components got smoked out from an oven fire so it’s slowly degrading unfortunately

[sweet phoenix]

Ofc can change cpu

[opaque sedge]

Man the asrock boards look so sick

Really wish microcenter discounted their cpus with other mobos

[sweet phoenix]

Riptide is so nice too

$190 is a very solid price too

Pcie 5.0 for anyone who cares, tons of usb, 3.5 m.2 slots, tons of pcie slots, etc

[opaque sedge]

I wanted an asrock so bad but… the bundle… it had a grasp on me

[sweet phoenix]

Oh 100%

[opaque sedge]

And the discount didn’t come up on anything else

[sweet phoenix]

Any day of the week

[opaque sedge]

Not anymore thanks to supply and demand

But the 7600x3d bundle went down like 60 bucks in price recently so their bundles are becoming great again

[sweet phoenix]

i hope 9600x3d is a thing

[dusk knot]

Y

[sweet phoenix]

and i hope they don't make it mc exlusive again

Guys I havent been keeping up with new computer parts im looking to build a new pc on the AM5 platform (that is also an upgrade from what I have) whats a good budget and or cpu gpu combos

Hmm a good budget for am5...

[unreal chasm]

as in whats an acceptable budget

[rancid juniper]

It really varies here

Maybe $500

[unreal chasm]

basically Im not familiar on am5 pricing and also havent seen any of the cpus for it

[rancid juniper]

This is excluding GPU btw

[sweet phoenix]

whats your full current specs, aside from cpu gpu mobo and ram

[unreal chasm]

CPU - Ryzen 9 5900x
GPU - ASUS ROG Strix RTX 3060 V2 OC
RAM - G.Skill Ripjaw 32GB 3600MHz
MOBO - Asus Strix B550-XE Gaming WiFi
PSU - Segotep 750W
COOLER - Vetroo V5 Black
Samsung 970 Evo 1TB
SSD - Kingston A400 480GB SSD
HDD - Seagate Barracuda 7200 2TB
CASE - Corsair 4000D Airflow

[rancid juniper]

Oh wow bro got it down

[sweet phoenix]

what model from segotep

[unreal chasm]

uhh

hold

[rancid juniper]

These specs don't look too bad

[craggy shoal]

hold

[unreal chasm]

GM750w Gold

[craggy shoal]

The only thing I would upgrade right away would be swapping that hard drive for a 2TB SSD

[unreal chasm]

Professional series or something

[sweet phoenix]

id keep storage but prob get a new ssd, a400 is very bottom of the barrel

oh wait

970

[rancid juniper]

True

[unreal chasm]

the a400 has nothing on it tbh idek if its still hooked up I havent looked

oh it is has like 100gb used

[craggy shoal]

Yeah I'd keep it that way

[sweet phoenix]

as long as it's not windows drive it's fine

same with the hdd

fine for game storage

[craggy shoal]

Avoid filling the boot drive if it's under 1TB

[unreal chasm]

that was just my first ssd from way back on the gap

[sweet phoenix]

if you can get me the exact psu name i can lyk if it needs replacing

[rancid juniper]

Me with my 512gb sata m.2 on laptop

[unreal chasm]

as you can see I have bought 4 of them

[sweet phoenix]

pretty sure this is either B tier or c tier depending on the color of the cables

[unreal chasm]

they all work fine

cables r black

[sweet phoenix]

yeah but a meh psu works fine until you put too much stress on it

and when that happens it could mean ded gpu

believe that ones fine, just depends what tier of gpu you want to go for

[unreal chasm]

Im tryna be prepared for GTA VI lol and I also still havent upgraded from 1080p I dont wanna buy another monitor 😭

I kind of want to build a whole new pc and sell this one

[sweet phoenix]

7500f off aliexpress is great on the budget end, 7600/x if you don't trust it. 7800x3d/9800x3d if you want to spend more

b650m pro rs, eagle ax or riptide wifi

[unreal chasm]

Imma do what I should have done first and make a pcpartpicker list

[sinful blade]

Does anyone here live in Columbus Ohio

[unreal chasm]

yes

[sinful blade]

Wanna go pick up a pc part for me

[rancid juniper]

🗿

[sinful blade]

Guy is selling an a770 for $175

[proud jackal]

[unreal chasm]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DVTjMV

[sweet phoenix]

just gaming right?

[rancid juniper]

not too bad

[sinful blade]

It’s $45 under used prices

So it’s nice

[rancid juniper]

👀

[sinful blade]

Gotta convince him to ship

First

[sweet phoenix]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TQQsYd

[rancid juniper]

7900 GRE power

[sweet phoenix]

can go a lot of ways with cpu, mobo, and gpu though

[unreal chasm]

is it still better to have 2 stick of ram vs 4?

[craggy shoal]

yeah

[unreal chasm]

ight

Difference?

[craggy shoal]

go with X4

[rancid juniper]

x4 faster

[unreal chasm]

okay

[rancid juniper]

pcie 4.0 is more than enough imo

[craggy shoal]

You could go PCIe 4.0 though. You'll barely notice the difference

[unreal chasm]

I was finna say ts kinda spensivee

[craggy shoal]

yeah PCIe 5.0 is new. It'll be quite expensive

[unreal chasm]

so tbh idk if mines PCIe 4 or 3

ah

PCIe 3

[craggy shoal]

I'm still running PCIe 3 lol

My drive is dying though (I think). I should swap it lol

Could thing I constantly keep everything backed up

[rancid juniper]

any nvme is better than sata already

[craggy shoal]

I learned the difference when I tried unzipping the same file onto an NVMe and a SATA drive

[rancid juniper]

after that you just stick with nvme

hard to turn back

[rancid juniper]

Lincoln Parker

[craggy shoal]

yeah this is in my Bazzite build (I've replaced it with Windows after determining that I need to reinstall Bazzite OS anyways lol)

[rancid juniper]

wow never heard of that OS before

[craggy shoal]

I'll probably swap in my Intel platform back into my main build and then get an mATX mobo (mATX case) and put my 7900X in that system

[craggy shoal]

It's a fork of Steam OS

Actually super nice lol

[rancid juniper]

sick

[unreal chasm]

is there a difference? anyone know?

[rancid juniper]

ive never ran a ryzen based pc yet

bruh

[unreal chasm]

besides the color lmao

[rancid juniper]

last amd processor ive ever tested was some A10 chip

i think

na

it was A8

[craggy shoal]

My installation was weird though, not to mention that I think it did some weird thing like installing the OS on two drives but it wasn't quite RAID(?)

[unreal chasm]

Last intel I used was an i7 950

[craggy shoal]

Ryzen has been a thing since like 2016(?) and you still haven't used Ryzen?

[unreal chasm]

had that mf OCed to like 4.6 GHz

[rancid juniper]

nope

[unreal chasm]

Air Cooled

[craggy shoal]

breh

[rancid juniper]

bit frustrated at myself but one day ill try one out

[rancid juniper]

Air cooling supremacy

[unreal chasm]

It was either 4.6 or 4.2

idkr

idr*

either way it was quite impressive

and I used it with a GTX 970 it would only work good with the OC

I remembered loading into Apex Legends after installing the gpu for whatever reason I had reset the oc or sum and forgot and was running 120 fps but it felt like 30

put the OC back on mf ran smoove I still have it I wanna do something with it

[rancid juniper]

you play apex with vsync off?

[sweet phoenix]

your 970 is fine

[unreal chasm]

I dont play apex rlly anymore

[sweet phoenix]

keep windows and recent/demanding games on the ssd, lesser demanding games on the hdd

[unreal chasm]

but I think I did have vsync on

[sweet phoenix]

if you want a secondary, m482 eco pack at $90

[unreal chasm]

idk at the time probably not

[rancid juniper]

sometimes keeping vsync on will make the game feel slower than it needs to

despite the high framerate

[unreal chasm]

yea no it was like choppy 30 fps

fps counter was at 120

[rancid juniper]

💀

[unreal chasm]

I was like errrr whadufuq

[rancid juniper]

and you said the oc made it smooth right?

[unreal chasm]

yea

used it for the next like 3 years

[rancid juniper]

i see

[unreal chasm]

still works just finally upgraded

that mf in a uh gigabyte g1.killer

mobo

[fresh nova]

[rancid juniper]

well atleast you still have a working card

[unreal chasm]

why are the 970s like known for going out?

ik the fan blades would like i guess warp at high rpm and barely rub against the fan housing and make a noise but i forgot if I did something or not but it went away from what I remember

I thought about getting just a like 250 GB gen 4 m.2 just for my boot drive and pictures

[rancid juniper]

too low lel

[unreal chasm]

I dont quite remember how pci lanes work though so idk if thats smart

why too low

I wouldnt put any games or software on it

[rancid juniper]

ik win11 can probably fit on a 128gb drive but i just think a 1TB drive is fitting for long term use

[opaque sedge]

Its so peak

[rancid juniper]

i just think its a better buy than getting some <512gb drive

but thats just me tho

[unreal chasm]

Whats a good modern gpu

Ill just get the 1tb lol now onto gpu

[opaque sedge]

Super glad i got to play the game right as everything was patched up

[opaque sedge]

Depends on what resolution and settings u want to play in certain games

[unreal chasm]

1440p or 4k idk but I want my games to look good

im iffy about going 4k

idk how well gpus now handle 4k in games

[opaque sedge]

1440p is simple enough 7800xt 7900gre 4070 super 7900xt

[unreal chasm]

I want this pc GTA VI proof

[opaque sedge]

4k 7900xtx 4080s and ofc the 4090

[unreal chasm]

I feel like Im going to have to sell my left kidney for this pc

[opaque sedge]

A 1440p build can be made for well under 1.5k rn

Thats around the price mine cost

[unreal chasm]

where can someone go to find a 4090 thats not atleast 2 thousand

[opaque sedge]

Refurb?

Openbox?

[rancid juniper]

gotchu bro

not 2k

[opaque sedge]

💀

[unreal chasm]

I forgot the fact that f NVidia im going all amd

so 7900xtx it is probably

[opaque sedge]

Gonna be a long wait for that

The game’s only coming to console

[unreal chasm]

theyre gonnna release it to pc

they would be stupid not to

[opaque sedge]

Prolly after a while tho

[unreal chasm]

Ill wait

[rancid juniper]

hey its rockstar, they pull dumb stuff all the time

[unreal chasm]

I get to see if the game is good

before I buy

[opaque sedge]

Is that u disguised as the first seller?

Cuz that’s either fake or broken

[opaque sedge]

(A play at his name)

[rancid juniper]

lol no

[opaque sedge]

Ik i was playing at ur name

[rancid juniper]

ok

[opaque sedge]

Either humor is dead or mine’s at a negative level

[rancid juniper]

i cant tell jokes through text most of the time

its fine

[chrome mirage]

Got permission to bring my Xbox to work and have a longer break to watch the Mike Tyson fight.

My supervisor said we have to go back to work as soon as Mike loses

[rancid juniper]

ah damn

i still cant believe that this is happening

i really hope the mike doesn't get hurt in the ring

bro should be chillin at home

[chrome mirage]

I think if he loses its going to be because he steps the wrong way and pulls a muscle

[rancid juniper]

i can see that

hopefully he wins

dont care about this "jake" guy

[chrome mirage]

I was still in highschool when I started hating the Paul brothers

[rancid juniper]

same

[opaque sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/thoon-soon-mike-tyson-gif-2519670117471563879

Internally hoping jake paul gets thrashed tho

[mental yoke]

2k is amazing imo

if i was rich i'd go to 4k but i'm not

Tyson gifs are so funny lol

[opaque sedge]

The fact that he can prolly effortlessly kill us 💀

[opaque sedge]

Excluding emotional effort ofc

[rancid juniper]

thats somebody you dont want to pick a fight with

[opaque sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/jake-paul-logan-shocked-face-gif-22869930

And this guy did

…

Smh

[rancid juniper]

bro wants fight an old man

absolute loser mentality

and he doubles down

😭

[opaque sedge]

I hope he loses hard

[mental yoke]

i swear he schedules the fights many months after the beef

[rancid juniper]

fr

gonna call him Late Paul from now on

pc

[lone mango]

yeah whatever you thay man

[velvet summit]

Oh

Already 1

Been awake for longer than I intended

Since I woke at 3

[chrome mirage]

Today was my coworkers first day back after getting in trouble and he's already in trouble again.

[proud jackal]

jake paul got slapped

[chrome mirage]

I saw that

[dusk knot]

Yes

He’s not going to make it

[topaz bison]

hiiii

[icy ore]

[elfin mural]

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-ryzen-7-9800x3d-burns-out-for-unlucky-redditor-socket-defect-or-user-error-suspected

Don't panic

Just a case of user error

This guy bent pins on his socket and it fried the cpu and socket

[icy ore]

💀

[random osprey]

they applied their thermal paste wrong, they put it on top of the cpu instead of in between the socket and cpu like youre suppose to

[lone mango]

yeah last night felix zoomed in and showed that the edge of the socket was chipped off from forcing the cpu into it

bro took the gifs people send on discord seriously

[sinful bough]

how the heck do i turn this off

found it nevermind

[gilded kraken]

the pins are not bent as they are spring pins and cannot be damaged in that way. He most likely forced the socket closed with the cpu reversed as it "sort of" slots in when backwards. Enough to damage the outer plastic housing actually

without proper contact on the voltage pads it creates more amps in half the cpu and cooks the cpu contacts

[chrome mirage]

I think Mike Tyson is so good at boxing because he's used to catching pigeons out of the air

[gilded kraken]

cant wait to watch clips of tyson knocking the prime out of paul

[chrome mirage]

I hope it's the first fight on the card because I'm watching it on my break at work

[random osprey]

more than likkely not so they can get potentially more views before the fight

[gilded kraken]

waaaaait, I just got an ad for the fight being on netflix????

oh snap my names no longer green

I thought I was trippin when it changed

[storm narwhal]

I swear to God, if Mike Tyson doesn't commit an actual murder, I'm never watching boxing again.

[pseudo raven]

jake paul is just annoying tbh

his brother makes him look downright angellic lol

[chrome mirage]

Definitely. He could actually gain a lot of people's respect if he called out his brother's wrongdoings and stopped fighting retired guys.

[wary fjord]

Just let it happen

I have that too every 2-3 days xD

[storm narwhal]

They're both dumb though

[silent hawk]

Hello

[storm narwhal]

That would require him to not be Jake Paul

[frosty sinew]

Guess who's rma got approved

[tranquil pebble]

Microsoft dont be annoying challenge (impossible)

[frosty sinew]

now

someone expain to me why im paying to ship corsh*ts OWN ram back to them

[opaque sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/now-kith-mike-tyson-gif-13249709

[tranquil pebble]

that is somewhat standard

[frosty sinew]

well thats dumb

if you just made decent products this wouldnt be happening

but no

you have to use ram chips that are literally potatos

[tranquil pebble]

so dont buy from them again

Crucial is far better on the quality from what I can tell

[frosty sinew]

i wont be

ever

im getting the new corsair ram

selling it

and leaving them

[tranquil pebble]

I wont panic but my kernel might

[frosty sinew]

my kernel is alr dead

[mortal grail]

A lot of warranty services request paid shipping, some cover for this, some also cover for half of it

[frosty sinew]

what the blurred word

[mortal grail]

I'm not aware what the blurred word is

[frosty sinew]

a what victim

and irrc

[mortal grail]

It's from an article about the socket burn

[frosty sinew]

all jay said is that it could be user error

[mortal grail]

Idk I don't watch J2C vids

I'm more focused on the middle paragraph

[frosty sinew]

thatsdumb

[mortal grail]

Is how it is

You get in return a promise of a working product for a given period

In this case a lifetime warranty

[frosty sinew]

till the product breaks after the window

[mortal grail]

Well if it breaks the pc the moment it goes in the next one then you shouldn't need to pay anything for a second claim whatsoever

[elfin mural]

yes it's basically user error

[mortal grail]

I'm not ruling it out, but they built a number of pc's so I'm not entirely definitive it was either

[frosty sinew]

it looks like it was backwards tbhy

[mortal grail]

It wasn't

It may have been slightly offset but it lines up with correct orientation

[frosty sinew]

whys the plastic broken

[mortal grail]

We don't know at this point for sure

[opaque sedge]

He sounds tired and frustrated lol 😭

[young matrix]

Most people said he installed it wrong

[frosty sinew]

To be fair

The plastic was destroyed

[young matrix]

Yeah

And the bracket was bent

[opaque sedge]

Omfg

[frosty sinew]

Buy it

[opaque sedge]

Its his local store prolly

[frosty sinew]

Speaking of gpus

I'm getting one today too

[opaque sedge]

Checked mine nothing like that

[opaque sedge]

Oooh which one

Lemme guess

[frosty sinew]

Ok

[opaque sedge]

Is it 1440p worthy?

[frosty sinew]

Yes

[opaque sedge]

7900gre?

[frosty sinew]

Last gen

[opaque sedge]

Rx6800

[frosty sinew]

Close

[opaque sedge]

6900xt?

[frosty sinew]

Wrong way lmao

[opaque sedge]

6750xt?

[frosty sinew]

Lower

[opaque sedge]

6700xt

[frosty sinew]

Yes

[opaque sedge]

Niceee

[frosty sinew]

Found one for 200usd

[opaque sedge]

New?

[frosty sinew]

Nah

Used

I don't buy gpus new

[opaque sedge]

Got it

Congrats tho

[mortal grail]

^^^^

[sage sluice]

Looking at computer systems technology and computer engineering programs for next year, im curious which programs i can even use to their fullest

[frosty sinew]

I feel like it was either a one off or user error

There would be more cases of it if so

[mortal grail]

Two people using the same board and cpu and both having the same issue would be a lottery coincidence tho

Yes, not ruling out user error

But also, there's other coincidences here

Better to be open minded

[frosty sinew]

But is there 2 issues?

I thought it was just one

[mortal grail]

2 people

Both 9800X3D

[frosty sinew]

Ope

[mortal grail]

Both X870 Tomahawk

[frosty sinew]

Wellllp

I take back what I said

[mortal grail]

Both socket damage both plastic and pins

Ya

It's like

REALLY coincidental

I just can't reasonably rule out some sort of board issue for that specific motherboard

[frosty sinew]

But I feel like it can only be user error to a point

Like if the plastic deform and breaks easily then

[mortal grail]

Or the socket could have bad tolerances

We won't really know for sure

GN has bought one of the two samples, and MSI is cooperating with their investigation

So soon enough we will know if it's in fact user error or not

But I'm not leaving only that on the table

[frosty sinew]

Yep

[frigid stag]

who tf asks “worth it?” obviously it is

[mortal grail]
