general-chat

[mortal grail]

Ok we might be in luck then

[frosty sinew]

wait

idr when i did the can

imma do it again rq

[mortal grail]

Ok so you want your mobo wifi drivers

And then

....

Windows capture filter?

[wary fjord]

But its intel. Intel best in productivity games. Intel ftw

[mortal grail]

Sounds like a snipping tool dll

[nocturne flicker]

Productivity games?

What is a productivity game

[frosty sinew]

fortnte

[mighty hazel]

Yeah I think he’s tweaking he probably got a defective cpu

[frosty sinew]

you learn engish

[mortal grail]

Lol

[mighty hazel]

Then again he’s kinda got a point. Tuned b die and skylake ++

It’s pretty OP on the 1% lows

[mortal grail]

Ok this appears to be a DLL based on Camera app and snipping tool

So you might be in the clear

Reinstall the wifi drivers and the camera app

Then sfc scannow again

See what comes up

Your mobo drivers for wifi are found on your mobo support page

[frosty sinew]

oh god

why discord

thats all the warnigns and errors

aslso my mobo doesnt have wifi

[mighty hazel]

💀

[frosty sinew]

that lins up

[mortal grail]

You have wifi drivers tho

[mighty hazel]

Cooked windows install

[mortal grail]

Lol

[frosty sinew]

yeah i have a card

[mortal grail]

I don't think it's cooked

[chrome mirage]

I went upstairs to show my mom a dog meme and ended up having to do tech support.

[mortal grail]

Ok reinstall your wifi drivers for that card

Then reinstall camera app

[frosty sinew]

aint that the truth

[mortal grail]

Scan again

See what it flags

Only need to see "Cannot repair" logs

[frosty sinew]

ok

[mortal grail]

If you can also

[chrome mirage]

She already saw the meme before too so I just wasted my time.

[mortal grail]

reinstall snipping tool

Hopefully that's all that needs to be done

[nocturne flicker]

I don't interact with my mother because all she does is demand I do things

[mortal grail]

It kinda looks like it, fingers crossed

[wary fjord]

Maybe its time

[frosty sinew]

that phyically hurt me

[mighty hazel]

💀 gigabyte psu activities

[frosty sinew]

let me find the drivers for the random wifi card i got on amazon

[wary fjord]

I think only card died

[mortal grail]

It is but man that 98X3D got the chops lol

You know he'll have fomo

[frosty sinew]

this driver>

?

[mighty hazel]

Is it from this brand by chance 💀

[mortal grail]

Omg

That's a trap wtf

[frosty sinew]

THAT IS WILD

[mighty hazel]

he probably asking for a free sample

[mighty hazel]

Yeah don’t try to type it out

[mortal grail]

Give it a few months "I switched"

[mighty hazel]

Autocorrect will mess u up 💀

[mortal grail]

Yeah good chance if it's an intel wifi card

[frosty sinew]

lol

[mortal grail]

Yep

[wary fjord]

Yes you sure

[mortal grail]

Try upgrade first

If scan still shows error that installer should let you remove and reinstall second time

I would also do for games you play, "Verify file integrity" on launchers like steam

They will redownload if the games are corrupted

Windows scan does not check those

[frosty sinew]

does that even matter for games?

[mortal grail]

Yes

Absolutely does

[frosty sinew]

woah

really?

why

i use ethernet

[mortal grail]

Corrupted game absolutely can ruin the API interpretation layer

Meaning less fps

[frosty sinew]

i mean the windows stuff

[mortal grail]

Oh the wifi thing

Not really? But we're ruling out the corruption issues one by one

It's one extra step for a few minutes, we want to rule out everything we can see in the scan

If we can and it comes back it found no errors, we good fam

Call me being pedantic but I value being thorough

[frosty sinew]

both still threer

[mortal grail]

threer?

there?

Lol

Ok do a full reinstall of the wifi drivers this time

Remember the cbs log is timestamped

[frosty sinew]

yep

yeah didnt work

[mortal grail]

Damnnn

Did you try reinstalling camera app and snipping tool?

[frosty sinew]

yeha

might just reinstall windows

[mortal grail]

Ah damn

I do wonder if an in-place repair might be good enough tho

Honestly if it was bad enough for me to go back to saying "Full reinstall" then I'd be back on that by now

I didn't see any serious dlls there

[frosty sinew]

but is that the whole system?

darn what a shame almost like i did that on purpose

[mortal grail]

You do have the minimum requirements tho

5700X/6700XT definitely can

Lol

You might have like, TPM or secure boot disabled is why it says that

[frosty sinew]

yeah i did that on purpose

so it doesnt put me on 11

[mortal grail]

Ah

[frosty sinew]

so

[mortal grail]

Well we found the root culprit so not really worried about all those errors

Just the existing corruption in the system

[frosty sinew]

is that from bsod?

[mortal grail]

It's annoying when it's ram or CPU cos those two are basically the only two that can really lead to a reinstall

[mortal grail]

Yeah

That's the corsair doing it's best work

💀

[frosty sinew]

this was today

[mortal grail]

If you didn't DDU that would be why that happened

[frosty sinew]

i did

[mortal grail]

Yes AMD to AMD can do that

Hm ok

Could be nothing

Could be the windows install too tbh

We won't know for sure

[frosty sinew]

there is one wayto know

[mortal grail]

Seems like it might be the best idea rn

Annoying af but worth it tbh, then you can use the debloat script in #windows-ios

And make the pc a lot faster

[frosty sinew]

whats that do

[frosty sinew]

i mean it woudl take me at least 8 hrs

[sinful blade]

I wonder how many people in this server are dead

[mortal grail]

Gets rid of all the windows telemetry and annoying apps that windows forces on

[mortal grail]

Shower thoughts with roomba

[frosty sinew]

is there a list?

i just wanan know waht it does

[mortal grail]

The script has a list yeah

It basically terminates all the telemetry then runs registry rules to stop them coming back

Things like microsoft teams, skype, widgets, microsoft store

[frosty sinew]

https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat ?

[mortal grail]

Things like that

Yeah that looks like it

[frosty sinew]

that s 11 tho

[mortal grail]

Works on both

[frosty sinew]

also i use ms store

[mortal grail]

https://github.com/Ryzen5950XT/Windows-stuff/releases/download/Windows-utilities-and-fixes-batch-file/Win.Utils.Fixes.Latest.launcher.bat

[mortal grail]

You can turn ms store back on or reinstall it

It's not a permanent thing

I know the guy that makes it

Lol

[frosty sinew]

oh

im really tempted to fresh install

[mortal grail]

Probably for the best yeah

[frosty sinew]

theres just so much stuff tho

[mortal grail]

Back up what you can onto a secondary drive

[frosty sinew]

and then configing it all

[mortal grail]

Then wipe the current drive in bios

Remember to sign into settings app

So you can save your windows license

[frosty sinew]

bios? wiping?

[mortal grail]

Yep

[frosty sinew]

i have a pic of it

[mortal grail]

Windows reset is useless

[frosty sinew]

oh i was gonna grab an iso

and format it in the installer

[mortal grail]

Iso works, just wipe the ssd in bios tho

If you wanna do full reinstall

[frosty sinew]

yeah i will

[mortal grail]

Good lucc

Dunno what that emote was

[frosty sinew]

best app

[mortal grail]

We aren't allowed to share those here

But yes

[frosty sinew]

ope

[mortal grail]

Lol

[frosty sinew]

i bought a hdd for 5$ used and it had activated windows on it

im still using the code and drive lol

[mortal grail]

Lol nice

Old optiplexes make the best windows keys

[mortal grail]

I gotta dip but good luck

Something fell outside(???)

[frosty sinew]

ill be doing it tommorow but thanks

why\

[mortal grail]

Ok something fell but I can't find anything

False alarm I guesss???

Wtf

[frosty sinew]

Lol

Gotta love undoing work

Needed to add some more wires on

[dusk knot]

Ah yes. Quark

[worthy relic]

hey! I have a question. I am reading the trade in program for newegg, and I am wondering if I trade in my cpu while buying a new one, will I recieve a refund of the money back or get a gift card? Im confused on how they are wording it

I want to recieve cash/refund of the payment off, not gift card,

[dusk knot]

Good question. That would be up our admin's alley. Best if you DM her or possibly wait for an answer here.

[worthy relic]

does it matter which admin I dm?

[dusk knot]

I would bother Naht

[worthy relic]

ok

thank you!

[dusk knot]

You're welcome

Hopefully she's not busy

[velvet summit]

is the newegg service account still being monitored

i dont think i've seen it online in a bit

[dusk knot]

It

Lol. You're right

[craggy shoal]

I have waffles

[mortal grail]

Oh god Roomba what have you done

The neweggservice account is dead

[craggy shoal]

I think about this everyday

Anyways, what kind of boost are y'all putting out

[rancid juniper]

how screwed am i?

[mortal grail]

[rancid juniper]

[misty sparrow]

[craggy shoal]

I guess Discord went down for a fat second

[proud jackal]

why that one?

[random osprey]

cause i i dont have $1200 to drop on a chair

aeron chair is good too but kinda funky for some people with how it sits you

[proud jackal]

need a gamer chair for max fps

[random osprey]

that one i sent is probably the most normal and also the cheapest

[random osprey]

they have a logitech one

$1500

[proud jackal]

my chair's pleather is peeling

[random osprey]

https://store.hermanmiller.com/gaming-chairs/embody-gaming-chair/100160889.html?lang=en_US&sku=100160889

[proud jackal]

maybe its time for a new chair

[random osprey]

the logitech one though is a scam cause its on "sale" for $1500 even though when it first came out it retailed for $1500

plus itd just be better to get the normal version of the embody chair instead of paying extgra for a G and blue accents

[mortal grail]

You can report that to consumer watchdogs for that kind of behaviour

[weak cedar]

Black Friday sales in a nutshell these days

[gilded kraken]

I cracked, I now have 4x 1-2 tb nvme for my new 870E when I transfer my drives from my old pc. No more sata drives in my case

[cedar compass]

last year I only got few things for cheap . most things were for regular sale price lol

only big TVs being on sale at black fridays lol

[modern imp]

And then your multicore perf and pcie lane count tanks

[cedar compass]

my 285k coming tuesday too

so hyperthreading is dead now ?

[gilded kraken]

apparently

though wouldnt they just be considered threads and hyperthreading is more of a marketing terminology

[storm narwhal]

Hyperthreading ded

Bye hyper threads

Missed opportunity for ultrathreading

[cedar compass]

yeah looks like it's dead and gone

[storm narwhal]

Pat also said no more dgpu basically

Its all about igpu now or something

[cedar compass]

I will see how much faster 285k than 14900k in a few days lol

[storm narwhal]

I'm pretty sure it's slower or equal to

13600k can still beat it

[cedar compass]

I using it for workload so i'm not sure . pasmark results shows 285k is like 10% faster but idk about OCing capacity

I easily OCing my E cores and getting much better render time than stock

[storm narwhal]

Me neither

Didn't they just remove the option for deeper oc

[cedar compass]

using 13600k for gaming and I don't see any reason to upgrade it yet lol . I gaming at dual qhd ( odyssey g9 ) anyways so mostly relying on gpu

[storm narwhal]

Fair

[cedar compass]

yeah I heard they not OCing well but will see soon lol

[storm narwhal]

Ubm would be screaming in joy seeing this

Like YEEEEESSSSSSS DONT BUY AMD

THEYRE TRASH AND THEY ARENT BETTER IN REAL WORLD PERFORMANCE

like Buddy how is gaming not exactly that

[cedar compass]

lol AMD cpus are good too . I may build 9950x build soon too

AMD Gpus isn't for me because they performing awful at workload

[storm narwhal]

Ubm now writing in pain and anger

buy Intel PLEASE

DEAR GOD JUST DO IT

[cedar compass]

[storm narwhal]

But also fair

AMD best gaming

Should I enable ASCR, Dynamic Dimming ?

[tranquil pebble]

try it, you can always turn it off if you don't like it

[frosty sinew]

im formatting my pc

[wise wigeon]

Has anyone ever brought pc parts on a plane?

My brother is on a trip where he’s close to a micro center and he asked me if I was interested in something

Which I am that 7600x3d combo is absurd

Just worried that tsa is gonna fondle the parts and break something

CPU and ram is whatever but the mobo is always scary

[craggy shoal]

What are you doing 💀

[frosty sinew]

deleting 800gb

[craggy shoal]

Bruh what are deleting

[frosty sinew]

my backups of windows

[craggy shoal]

Man I need to upgrade my storage game

[frosty sinew]

thats my nas lol

[craggy shoal]

Yeah I need a proper NAS

[frosty sinew]

well i have a backup on my pc too but thats besides the point

[frosty sinew]

bruh my dads coworker moved away and i bought 5 4tb wd reds from him for 60 bucks

lmao

[craggy shoal]

I'll take that lol

The only thing stopping me is lack of a cooler and drives

[frosty sinew]

yeah

[frosty sinew]

get on that

[craggy shoal]

Poor

[frosty sinew]

also it has 225 days of uptime

lol

[craggy shoal]

Mac Mini wasn't the move lmao

Might just get a DAS and make an SMB share on the Mac Mini. Probably just the most ideal solution

I mean it's either that or build a whole PC with an i5 10600K

Also getting a MoCA adapter. Gonna be a networking guy

Tired of running an Ethernet across my room

[frosty sinew]

alr almost halfway done

[craggy shoal]

I got one for my gf's apartment. It didn’t work :( they’re weird with their networking. So I got another one that should hopefully work. If it doesn't work, I’m returning these things

[craggy shoal]

You don't hide your desktop icons?

[frosty sinew]

ofc not

also thats only half lol

[craggy shoal]

I have all of my icons hidden lol

[velvet summit]

L

[craggy shoal]

clean

[frosty sinew]

im never just staring at my desktop lol

[velvet summit]

Real ones use win + r to open their programs

[craggy shoal]

I just can't stand icons

I hit the Windows key and search for everything. It actually helps with my typing speed lolll

[velvet summit]

Lmao

[frosty sinew]

ok

time for the other half

[craggy shoal]

lol just screenshot the whole screen

[craggy shoal]

ahhh Windows 10

Why 10?

[velvet summit]

Yeah I mainly use the windows search for my programs, and then whenever I need some random line of code to be run or I need to open something like device manager, I use win+r

[frosty sinew]

cuz 11 still sucks

[velvet summit]

Because windows search sometimes acts funky

[craggy shoal]

Not really lol

I wish Windows search was as good as MacOS Spotlight tbh

[velvet summit]

So I do win+r devmgmt.msc to open device manager

And boom it opens

both of those were good

but to save costs, there's 2 types of wifi 6; wifi 6 APs can do 2.4ghz and/or 5ghz, and wifi 6e adds support for 6ghz

wifi 7 always has the 6ghz band supported

[craggy shoal]

I’m not wrong though

Can stay at 50C without the fans on

[frosty sinew]

Under full load??

[craggy shoal]

Some, not full

Like at maybe 1200-1300 MHz though

[frosty sinew]

Oh yeah

Well I hooked my gpu up to my ac

[craggy shoal]

It's an ROG Strix 4070 Super. My mom paid too much for it (it's an ROG Strix 4070 Super, what do you expect?) but at least it has super nice cooling. Three fans on a GPU that only needs two. Extra heatsink = extra headroom for leaving the fans off in FanControl

[upper garden]

Haha yea. Everything looks like it’s turning on normally there’s just no video signal

[upper garden]

I tried a new HDMI cord to make sure that wasn’t the issue but no luck.

[frosty sinew]

Gpu plugged into power?

I'd reaseat it

Is it posting?

[upper garden]

Yep and the GPU fan is spinning

What does posting mean

[craggy shoal]

no

[tranquil pebble]

9800x3d could probably bottleneck a 4090 at 8k (in Minecraft)

Maybe like 40% of cases for 1440p

Y'know

If there's still performance to gain
And you already have a 4090 because you're baller like that
It'd unironically be worth the upgrade

Buuuut even then, you're probably playing on a 48" oled TV if you have a 4090 lmao

[craggy shoal]

idk why I read this as 7900 XTX

like what

[devout forum]

Rofl

[craggy shoal]

anyways, yeah I think the 4090 is just that powerful

So, yeah probably would bottleneck a 9800X3D lol

[devout forum]

To be fair
There are legitimate use cases for a 4090 at 1440p

Like if you play a competitive shooter

[craggy shoal]

atp just feel free to set the graphics to the absolute maximum. Have a 4K display? Upscale the game to 8K with no DLSS, FSR, or anything

[devout forum]

You mean downscale right?

Render at 8k and then convert to super sharp 4k

[craggy shoal]

Upscale from 4K to 8K

nah

Just straight up native 8K on a 4K display

have to use that GPU somehow

[devout forum]

That'd be performance upscaling...

[craggy shoal]

All of the eye candy

[devout forum]

I'm not sure that would really look that great

Besides IIRC 8k integer scales to 4k

[craggy shoal]

lol

I mean it's a joke

[devout forum]

So you'd still get perfectly sharp visuals if you ran internal 4k

[devout forum]

Nonono hear me out

Render native 4k

Then just send it to an 8k panel

And it SHOULD look perfectly sharp cuz integer scaling

[craggy shoal]

If you have 4090 money, just get a 4080 Super and slap three 1440p monitors with it

No reason not to honestly lol

[devout forum]

Oh yeah simracing rig

That'd be unironically really based

[craggy shoal]

exactly

[devout forum]

It's kinda really hard to justify the 4090 to me

Which is extremely ironic considering it is THE fastest GPU rn

I guess VR? It's kinda prominent in
Y'know
Simracing

Which I'm interested in

[craggy shoal]

nah don't even bother

[devout forum]

No for real tho

[craggy shoal]

it's not comfortable

[devout forum]

4080 apparently don't really stack up that well in high-end VR

[dusk knot]

In what games?

I don't completely believe that

[somber skiff]

Will it / won't it bottleneck isn't really a yes or no, you'll still see improvement in .1% lows etc, just depends how much you care about having good vs great.

[craggy shoal]

I might get my sim rig out honestly

About to be bored all day lol

[devout forum]

I'd have to go back and rewatch the video

So I can't quickly answer that

[dusk knot]

[devout forum]

Currently on mobile data

And I have to make it last through the month

[devout forum]

I mean
If you already buy a 4090
You clearly have the money and want the best possible performance IMO

[somber skiff]

Would be silly not to go 98x3d for a new 4090 build

[devout forum]

So at that point it's more a question of whether you know or care enough to give it the best circumstances

[dusk knot]

me and my silly plan to pair my 5800x3d with a 5090

[devout forum]

Oh boy

[rancid juniper]

bruh

[somber skiff]

Could be worse, just go am5 when you can afford it

JP seems more like a 245k kinda guy

[tranquil pebble]

Celeron Ultra 200k

[dusk knot]

Intel is never going to happen on my watch

[rancid juniper]

"I paired my i7 980 with an RTX 5090"

[trail nest]

@craggy shoal hello motor

[craggy shoal]

Why would you ping me just to say hi

wtf

Tootsie roll man

dude i have an rtx 3050 and i said screw it i ain't gonna upgrade every year

[devout forum]

Gonna get the new-ish AOC QD-OLED probably

[safe cape]

good

[trail nest]

dude as long as your gpu runs your games that's all that matters!!!

[devout forum]

It's the cheapest 1440p QD-OLED here after all

[safe cape]

good

[trail nest]

you don't need no high tech gpu man

[rancid juniper]

tell that to UE5 games

[trail nest]

as long as you can play your games on your gpu that's all that matters!

[devout forum]

I crave the high refresh rates!

6700 XT ain't gonna do it

[trail nest]

dude i've had so many gpu that i don't even notice a difference in refresh rates!

they all look the same to me!

[rancid juniper]

pretty sure the 6700xt has the power for high refreshrate gaming

[devout forum]

It's a 1440p60 card at the best of times

[rancid juniper]

just gotta lower some settings

[devout forum]

1080p120 it can do

[rancid juniper]

seems legit

[devout forum]

Hell it reaches 150 in some older games

But the 12gb VRAM is limiting at 1440p in new games

[trail nest]

@devout forum why do you need a 6700xt just for final fantasy 7

[rancid juniper]

recent games that runs 1440p would eat more than 12gb instantly

[devout forum]

Ew
I'm not gonna touch that thing

[rancid juniper]

and if your vram is way lower, lmfao good luck

[trail nest]

lol

[rancid juniper]

Crazy that final fantasy 7 needs 3 games to cover the entire story

[trail nest]

just wait til black friday if you want a deal on that 6700xt

[rancid juniper]

i thought it was one game

[devout forum]

8gb cards are pretty much dead or dying for anything more than 1080p

The fact that nGreedAI literally released an 8gb GPU this gen is actually criminal

[rancid juniper]

Monster hunter wilds was a good example of that (even tho that game was dummy unoptimized)

[devout forum]

That's not the problem tho

Current consoles have 16 gigs of unified memory

They can put 12gb to video memory

Iirc

Or was it 32 with 24 available to VRAM?

I don't even remember anymore

[rancid juniper]

VRAM can be shared but performance will take a nose dive if its offloaded to system memory

[tranquil pebble]

holy crap

[devout forum]

My point is that 8 gigs of frame buffer is just plain isn't enough anymore

[rancid juniper]

[rancid juniper]

ofc

[devout forum]

Especially if next gen will step up to 32 gigs of memory

Then we're ALL cooked

[tranquil pebble]

I dont think AMD has ever had this much market share

[rancid juniper]

nop

[devout forum]

It's incredible how much Intel fell off

[tranquil pebble]

Literally worse than Netburst

[rancid juniper]

32GB vram requirement for the same visuals or 2% uplift in graphics

[devout forum]

Ironically at a time when people started mass retiring old Intel chips like the 4790K

[dusk knot]

Outside of RT, graphics suck in 2024

[devout forum]

Those people are all buying AMD now

And that's NOT a great outlook

[rancid juniper]

AMD will gain 99999999999 amdillion dollars if they make a ryzen 3 x3d chip

trust

[tranquil pebble]

Ryzen is what got me off of 4790k

[rancid juniper]

i think it was up till 3rd gen ryzen when things got crazy serious

1st and 2nd gen was just finding their footing

[tranquil pebble]

3000 series or Zen 3?

[rancid juniper]

3000 series

[tranquil pebble]

Zen and Zen+ were hope for AMD, and past that they started taking off

[devout forum]

Unless Intel gets their crap together, not happening

[rancid juniper]

yep...

[devout forum]

And I'm unsure if they can get their crap together like this

[rancid juniper]

we can't let amd win forever, we gotta keep the comp balanced

but intel is fumbling everytime

💀

[tranquil pebble]

yeah

13th gen was the start of that

[rancid juniper]

you thought Zen 5% was bad, then intel whips out ARL -10%+

[tranquil pebble]

arrow in the knee lake

[rancid juniper]

fr

[lone mango]

[rancid juniper]

13th gen was a nice improvement to 12th gen chips but came with high voltages

I WANNA CLOCK UP MY CHIP TO 6+GHZ AGAINST AMD

still loses

[lone mango]

i will NOT buy ue5 games and i WILL be happy

[rancid juniper]

real

[lone mango]

distance yourself from the plague

[tranquil pebble]

and then CPUs also start frying at the same time

[tranquil pebble]

UE5 games can be converted to VR with UEVR so I will be looking specifically for those

Well, UE4 too

[lone mango]

Yeah couple the voltages with poor microcode and you get the intel disaster

[lone mango]

[devout forum]

Error Lake

[lone mango]

🗣️ 💥

[devout forum]

It's not even necessarily the performance that's the biggest error

But the classic Intel thing of mandating a new socket every 2 gen

[lone mango]

Yeah I think it might be over for intel soon

[devout forum]

Like if Arrow Lake was a drop-in upgrade for 1700

Then it'd be genuinely sensible cuz it's 99% of a 14900K perf for a tenth the power draw

BUT YOU NEED A NEW MOBO ANYWAY

[tranquil pebble]

6900 XT runs ollama pretty well

[lone mango]

When not gaming yeah

But gaming is inconsistent with their new cpus

Sometimes it holds up but sometimes it is quite a bit slower

[rancid juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/cooking-cpu-hot-meat-yummy-gif-25343056

[devout forum]

I really don't understand how detached Intel is from the consumer reality

[tranquil pebble]

They have outright stated that gamers are not what they want to market to.

[rancid juniper]

makes my hopes for arc cards degrade just like 13/14th gen cpus

[tranquil pebble]

it would be funny if someone like Qualcomm started making x86 cpus

[rancid juniper]

and ends up smoking both

👀

[devout forum]

I'm like 75% sure that Alchemist is dead already

And Intel just doesn't want to admit it publicly to save face

Or is it Battlemage

Which is the supposed second gen Intel GPU

[lone mango]

battlemage

[devout forum]

Regardless of name, I heavily doubt it'll ever arrive

I hope to be proven wrong of course

But that's sadly rare lately

[lone mango]

damn bruh

i kinda like arc tho

cheap vram

16g for like 300

[rancid juniper]

😩

[lone mango]

waiting for rdna 4 to see if that would be more worth

[tranquil pebble]

nvidia would give you 2g for 300 if they could get away with it

[lone mango]

[rancid juniper]

[mental yoke]

Im so confused on how an am4 rear bracket is supposed to be installed bro

I removed mine years ago and can't remember how to put it back, can anyone help

if you mean the plate you will want something to hold it down while you screw it in

Personally, I used tape.

yeah that is called the backplate

[dusk knot]

What harmful chemicals can be found on CPU IHS? 🤔

[mental yoke]

Yeah, could you dm me or go to channel where I can send images please 🙏 I just need like 5 minutes

[frosty sinew]

its just nickel plated copper isnt it

thats food safe

just clean it firs

[rancid juniper]

rock

[tranquil pebble]

Someone out there might have made a plate out of old CPU IHSs lol

[mental yoke]

Rip

Thanks anyways

[dusk knot]

Oh ok

I wouldn't want to eat anything laying on a PC components

[proud jackal]

why not

[tranquil pebble]

I wouldnt want to eat thermal paste

[nocturne flicker]

What is you sanitize the components before hand and then lay the food on it

[rancid juniper]

speaking of thermal paste I wonder if the verge guy finally escaped the memes

nope LMFAO

[frosty sinew]

although it doesnt make sense

[dusk knot]

Chemicals

[frosty sinew]

still funny

[nocturne flicker]

After all, nickel isn't toxic and we ingest copper anyways in our water

[frosty sinew]

like?

as long as the paste isnt in it

[dusk knot]

Do you not read the boxes, Theo? 😤

[frosty sinew]

not to mention all the pipes in 2000s houses are copper

[tranquil pebble]

[proud jackal]

i live in california, they put those cancer warnings everywhere

[dusk knot]

Some components have chemicals that reflect reproductive health and can cause cancer.

[frosty sinew]

and now everyone ignores them

so when there is actual danger

it gets ignored

[nocturne flicker]

So does your shampoo

[frosty sinew]

floride? like our water

[proud jackal]

FORCED EVOLUTION GUYS

[frosty sinew]

chlorine?

like our water

lol

[proud jackal]

SHAMPOO

SOAP

EVERYTHANGGGGGGG

[frosty sinew]

try that and lmk how it goes

[tranquil pebble]

that pattern is ok for Threadripper sized CPU but smaller ones it will flood it with too much paste

[rancid juniper]

dont worry, cpu will be snug afterwards

bro got the ecores to 0v

supreme efficiency from ARL /s

[dusk knot]

I hardly use shampoo now 💀

[nocturne flicker]

Our meat has toxic chemicals in it, our veg has toxic chemicals on and in them, our fruits do as well, our household products contain toxic chemicals and the air we breathe contains pollutants

[dusk knot]

Using substitutes instead

[rancid juniper]

i probably might stop using shampoo too

[frosty sinew]

thats what i smell

[rancid juniper]

my hair

[dusk knot]

I hardly eat red meat to

[frosty sinew]

why?

[nocturne flicker]

All meat, not just red meat

Fish, chicken, beef, pork, turkey

Poultry just has the heavy antibiotics problem so it is marginally safer

i didnt spend 8 hrs for nothing

[unreal trail]

yes you did

spend 8 hours meticulously repairing thing, push power button and nothing happens

[chrome mirage]

My AIO is making gurgling noises

Might be time for a new one soon

The RGB has been broken on it for years now but I've been waiting for it to quit working to replace it

[tranquil pebble]

death rattle for AIO?

[chrome mirage]

Seems like it. The AIO in my 2008 Alienware sounds better than this one.

[tranquil pebble]

but yeah thats not normal

[chrome mirage]

It's not annoyingly loud but it's still there.

[tranquil pebble]

AIOs are normally rather quiet in my experience... when they are running correctly

[chrome mirage]

You can move the pump around to get the air out of it but I kind of want it to die.

[sinful blade]

Sounds like my wi- I mean, oh no that’s terrible

[mental yoke]

How many case fans do I need for my build? I have a 5600x with a thermalright ps Evo 120

I already have one case fan on the back but I'm wondering if I should put some on the front too

[opaque sedge]

Which one are u interested in

I’m thinking of a thermalright aio personally

[mental yoke]

Ok cool

[opaque sedge]

My air cooler isn’t performing as well in my new case (fishtank style and 120mm fans over the 140 in my old one) but i’m gonna try repasting and remounting first

[dusk knot]

Wow. Love the look!

[tranquil pebble]

inb4 it makes the pc explode

[nocturne flicker]

Pog and it makes a free ied?!

What a great value

[velvet summit]

ah yes
the rtx 🟩🟩🟩🟩

[rancid juniper]

someone legit mentioned that

[rancid juniper]

introducing the RTX

comes with features like display, rtx, and free youtube

[velvet summit]

(does not support youtube)

🇨🇳

comes with features like display, rtx, and billi billi

oh single l

bili bili

[tranquil pebble]

and social credit score

[chrome mirage]

Maybe this one. Haven't looked into many of them yet

[chrome mirage]

That's why I went with the 7900XTX over the 4080. Couldn't find any Nvidia cards that looked that good or matched my build as well

[tranquil pebble]

as an added bonus you get more VRAM too

[chrome mirage]

I actually had games using 11GB of VRAM back when I had my 2080Ti so VRAM might be important for future proofing

[mental yoke]

what is a good idle temp for the 5600x

just on desktop not really doing anything

and whats a good max temp while gaming and whatnot

[chrome mirage]

My 5800X3D likes to idle around 40C and gets up to 80C when gaming. as long as it stays under 90 you shouldn't have any issues

[fervent stump]

What’s the best sim wheel to buy?

Like for realism

[mental yoke]

alright thanks for not being a weird gatekeeper

[unreal trail]

[chrome mirage]

I don't think there are many gatekeepers in this server. Some people might not respond because they don't have experience with that cpu.

[mental yoke]

nah there definitely are

like earlier i was asking someone to dm me for help and they basically just ego'd

[random osprey]

i have fanatec but theres also moza. theres probably some otherf brands out there as well but its like $400 minimum

[mental yoke]

its all good though i got my problem resolved thankfully

[chrome mirage]

People have had bad luck with DM's and been sent some unsavory things.

[fervent stump]

I’m looking for moza but I don’t know what to get from them I want a wheel, shifter and pedals in one set

[chrome mirage]

I've been in this server for a long time now and all the long time people are good. You don't last very long if you are mean or intentionally rude.

[fervent stump]

Yea I’ve seen that but recently I’ve been ignored when I come here

[chrome mirage]

I try to help people when I can but my knowledge is very limited.

[fervent stump]

I get it dw

[random osprey]

no need for a shifter since the wheel has apedal shifters unless youre doing something specific or you would prefer a shifter over pedals

they have the r3 racing wheel that has the wheel. base, and pedals

paddle shifters, not pedal

also looks like they dont have a bundle that includes a shifter, you would have to add that to your cart

[opaque sedge]

that's the price of an am5 cpu combined with a mobo 😭

[chrome mirage]

It's Canadian dollars.

[opaque sedge]

oh

one 7600 then

man aio's sure are expensive tho

[chrome mirage]

It's got a display on it so I'm sure they are charging a lot to include that

There's a black one that's cheaper so maybe I'll get that one

[icy ore]

Yeah you throw some rgb and a display on an aio and suddenly it’s worth $300

[chrome mirage]

The funny part is when the RGB software breaks and it doesn't work properly

So you paid an extra $100 and still don't have RGB

The only color that even wants to work is red and it's very dim.

[tight ledge]

that pc is sick

[worthy tapir]

This one I've been using for about a year now. Worked good for my 5800x and now my 7800x3d.

[chrome mirage]

It has a lot of issues though

[tight ledge]

That sucks.

The aesthetics on it are great though.

[chrome mirage]

Thanks, I spent a lot of money to make it look the way I wanted.

[tight ledge]

Money well spent. Great job.

[frosty sinew]

guys

its done

finally

[chrome mirage]

Don't see to many people pick that color of blue and I stuck with it because it was the default lighting on my keyboard

[velvet summit]

Teal

[nocturne flicker]

I guess I'll just replace my mobo instead of doing a new build. Anybody know any good AM4 boards with 3 m.2 slots? I know the x570 Taichi is one

[tight ledge]

Looks great 👍

[chrome mirage]

Here's the whole setup

[tight ledge]

It’s great. Extra points for the whiskey.

[modern imp]

Arrow OCs extremely well except for the P cores

Tons of headroom on memory, die2die, ngu, and E cores

[cedar compass]

That's great

I mostly OCing my E cores

[opaque sedge]

I’m interested in one of the thermalrights too

Its down to 55

Maybe i should get it

[tight ledge]

Maybe.

[fervent stump]

That’s fine a lot I’d want a shifter depending on the car I’m using

[proud jackal]

hmm

1TB T705 for $120

[gilded kraken]

dang all my pc parts are going to be here but my case fans at this rate...

possibly 2 week wait

rip

[fervent stump]

Waaaaaaa no clutch

They robbing us

[velvet summit]

It's a good deal for DD, though yeah, the brake pedal is linear and there's no clutch

Add $75 to the price and that's how you get a usable wheel kit

(the clutch pedal and the brake kit)

And then you can get some random shifter for cheaper, or get their shifter for like $200 or whatever it was again

[fervent stump]

Me want shifter, wheel and all 3 pedals for under 500

[velvet summit]

Hmm

Under 500 is a bit harder

[fervent stump]

But a GOOD set

😭

[velvet summit]

The r5 bundle on sale currently is already quite good value for what you get

Especially since the r3 bundle isn't on sale

[fervent stump]

Why is it so much

[velvet summit]

It's a direct drive wheel

[fervent stump]

How much of a difference is it

[velvet summit]

Compared to gear and belt drives

[fervent stump]

Yea

[velvet summit]

Incredibly better

[fervent stump]

How though?

[velvet summit]

The steering column is the motor

Gear drive you feel the gears (and is often loud)
Belt drive is slightly stretchy, but quieter, but still not as good as dd

[fervent stump]

What about for someone who isn’t going to take it seriously but wants to have fun

What should I get

[velvet summit]

Belt drive if you can't afford the price tag of DD

[fervent stump]

Oki

[fervent stump]

What about over 500 too what could I get?

[velvet summit]

Honestly speaking though
The price difference nowadays from budget DD to the average belt drive wheel

[frosty sinew]

ok

[velvet summit]

Is small enough that it's worth the like 100 or whatever extra on dd

[frosty sinew]

took 8 hrs

but im done formatting windows

[fervent stump]

That’s not bad

[velvet summit]

Still moza
Maybe look on AliExpress for a cheap shifter, or buy the moza one (which has a quality that matches the price tag)

Spend less, expect a cheaper feeling product

[fervent stump]

You have any idea which ones I should get from moza

I still want a clutch too

[velvet summit]

What's the max you're willing to spend

[fervent stump]

600-650?

[velvet summit]

Hmm

[fervent stump]

700?

[velvet summit]

R5 bundle with shifter, clutch, and brake upgrade kit is $680

[fervent stump]

:o

Can you dm me links if you can?

[velvet summit]

You were on the right page earlier, if you scroll down you can see the add-on options

[fervent stump]

What’s this

[velvet summit]

The brake upgrade is the performance kit yeah

The brake pedal by default to save costs is linear

So it feels the same as the gas pedal

This upgrade kit makes the brake pedal feel more like an actual brake

[fervent stump]

Ohhh ok

The hand brake is sooo much

[velvet summit]

Yeah it is quite pricey

Built well, but expensive

Everything is made of aluminum

So it's quite hefty

[fervent stump]

I can’t even drive in real life so I’m gonna be terrible. Should I really be spending $100 on a handbrake and $700 everything else?

[velvet summit]

No, don't get the hand brake

Don't need it unless you're drifting

[fervent stump]

Me want to😭

[velvet summit]

You can try using a button to drift

Or buy a cheaper hand brake on AliExpress

[fervent stump]

Yea

[fervent stump]

Smart

Oh crap

[velvet summit]

Since it's meant to be mounted on a frame lmao

[fervent stump]

My desk?

[velvet summit]
