[fresh nova]

wut

[random osprey]

buy it, its on sale

then in a week, sale it for 20% more than retail

ez profit

[velvet summit]

would you rather buy a face massage mask with leds or a vr headset (they cost the same)

actually the quest 3 costs less

[random osprey]

the face massage mask cause the vr headset is facebook product

[velvet summit]

lmao

could also get a pico 4 technically though that's not in NA

but a lower quality headset

and also is a lower price

[random osprey]

thought it was released last year to na

[velvet summit]

afaik it's still not available asides from some sneaky imports

like if you buy it in the eu then bring it back to the US

or whatever

[lone mango]

I wonder if I am low on vitamin d or zinc and don’t know

[north crescent]

both, extra immersion

[velvet summit]

Real

[rancid juniper]

i once bought a cheap "vr" headset where you insert your phone into it and then wrap it around your head. (phone needs gyro support)

i'd watch those 360 videos on youtube before it eventually broke lol

[misty sparrow]

those were the olden days

[velvet summit]

Google cardboard and gearvr

[rancid juniper]

lol yea

[misty sparrow]

those things were so terrible

and it's even worse when you realize that was probably someone's first experience with VR, so once they used it they thought the entirety of VR was just a fad

[sour falcon]

Hello

[rancid juniper]

hello

[misty sparrow]

hello?

[frosty sinew]

Rma go brr

[carmine raft]

From general past experience, are cyber monday deals better or worse than black friday deals?

[slate hull]

The differences are that Black Fridays are mainly in person shopping, while Cyber Monday is for online shopping

[carmine raft]

Right, yet the online stores still partake in the Black Friday deals, I was just curious which deals are generally better for online shopping...

[slate hull]

Cyber Monday

Last year, I got my RTX 4060 Ti 16GB for only $300

Not sure what the original price was, tho I recommend Cyber Monday as they generally have sweet deals

Otherwise, Black Friday for in person shopping

[rancid juniper]

well atleast people wont have to deal with aggressive customers anymore

[opaque sedge]

Americans we have deepcool at home

[rancid juniper]

man i remember the fights they had long ago

[rancid juniper]

Thermalright is goated

like i legit wonder how tf do they make money

[nocturne flicker]

Honestly

They have to have connections with manufacturers or something

[opaque sedge]

Also seem to following in deepcool’s footsteps with the digital screen air coolers now

[rancid juniper]

say what?

lol

[rancid juniper]

thats definitely plausible

[opaque sedge]

Digital screens

Wasn’t deepcool known for them?

In air coolers specifically

[rancid juniper]

that looks sick

are they expensive tho?

[opaque sedge]

Nah the single tower ones are 30 bucks i believe

[rancid juniper]

no freaking way they got away with that price

that could've been sold for higher because of its "aesthetics" alone

[opaque sedge]

Ok not 30 bucks but i was close

Hmm on second thought

[rancid juniper]

thats still good tho

[opaque sedge]

The seller seems sus

These vision models are not for sale in the US it seems

[rancid juniper]

strongest thermalright aircooler so far is the phantom spirit 120 EVO

[opaque sedge]

I mean its a dinky lcd screen at the end of the day only name brands or those who market it as a groundbreaking feature upcharge it so much

[nocturne flicker]

Apparently from what I've dug up, Steve at GN said they were bought by a manufacturer at some point and they do their own manufacturing inhouse

[rancid juniper]

thats really good

[opaque sedge]

Ryzen 5000 wasn’t out when the rtx 30 series hit right?

[rancid juniper]

NO WAY, THATS MY OLD PC CASE

LMFAO

same color and EVERYTHING (excluding parts inside ofc)

[rancid juniper]

the exact one yes

[idle nexus]

like you got rid of yours & it went to the Great White North to be a movie star?

& now it's like, "look mom, I made it!"

[rancid juniper]

lmfao id wish, but its just sitting in my home's storage room

[idle nexus]

[idle nexus]

[idle nexus]

SOYO RX 6600M? the heck? is that a mobile GPU? lol

[rancid juniper]

yea

they probably bought it from aliexpress

nowadays you have chinese manufacturers making frankenstein gpus

[idle nexus]

12400HX & 12600HX are mobile CPUs that are pretty good so ya

[rancid juniper]

taking mobile chips and installing them on a desktop pcb card

[idle nexus]

[pseudo patrol]

I’m getting a new m2 and want to boot on it, so the correct process is unplug and disconnect all the other m2 & sata ports and plug the windows drive?

[pseudo patrol]

or do I have to partition it first

[obsidian wigeon]

the correct process is to do that in the bios

you can have two storage devices that has two OS

just choose the boot option and make the one you prefer at the top

[pseudo patrol]

Ah alright

[velvet summit]

It will skip the options that don't have boot media

[lone mango]

I think zen 5 threadripper might go crazy

[fervent stump]

Do I need a gpu to play vr

[dusk knot]

lol

Yes

What headset do you have in mind?

[fervent stump]

[lone mango]

They have the same io die I thnk

[fervent stump]

Oh

[lone mango]

Even if they are different the igpu is the same

[dusk knot]

Nice. 1080p….mid 50s

[storm narwhal]

You can probably run most games at 1080

[dusk knot]

Now what about Alan wake 2?

[storm narwhal]

Well idk about Alan wake

[dusk knot]

Negative fps

[storm narwhal]

Real

[lone mango]

In that video he is getting like 160 fps with 32 chunk render distance on the igpu

[storm narwhal]

But Helldivers 2 runs fine on a 780m

[lone mango]

[hoary zodiac]

is it cheaper than the 7800x3d tho

[lone mango]

Probably

[hoary zodiac]

hot take

[fervent stump]

Yes

By like 130

[hoary zodiac]

why not 7700x?

[rancid juniper]

thanksgiving food so much i cannot move

🤢

[fervent stump]

9700x better

[hoary zodiac]

by how much?

[fervent stump]

Not sure but it’s better

[lone mango]

Not a lot ngl

Like 5%

[fervent stump]

Still better

[rancid juniper]

9700x 8 core?

[hoary zodiac]

you do realise

[lone mango]

Yeah

[hoary zodiac]

you could save the money and then spend it on something in the future that's a lot better

[rancid juniper]

6core still got it

[fervent stump]

[hoary zodiac]

[fervent stump]

I’m poor

[storm narwhal]

Pfft

[hoary zodiac]

you're nowhere near poor

[fervent stump]

Lemme show you guys my bank account

You can’t tell me something that I am without knowing

[rancid juniper]

POOR ≠ I MAIN AESTHETICS

[lone mango]

[storm narwhal]

Sorry, just the amount of excess you've spent on your PC is a little

It really doesn't scream that

[hoary zodiac]

[hoary zodiac]

[rancid juniper]

[fervent stump]

I’ve spent 255 so far

[hoary zodiac]

this month?

you spent it on food?

[fervent stump]

Yea I’ve been saving

[storm narwhal]

Ah yes, instead of investing and making more profit

[storm narwhal]

[hoary zodiac]

[fervent stump]

They said no

[fervent stump]

I work for my money I can spend what I have

[storm narwhal]

They're fools then, if what they'll be investing is your money

[fervent stump]

But how old do you think I am

[rancid juniper]

ok its official https://videocardz.com/newz/exclusive-intel-arc-battlemage-to-launch-december-12th

[storm narwhal]

Real

[dusk knot]

[lone mango]

Wait is zen 5% making a comeback? These recent benchmark videos are showing more than a 5% increase

[fervent stump]

What state?

[dusk knot]

[storm narwhal]

I work 4 hours it’s about 41

[lone mango]

What how

[sinful blade]

Beauty

[fervent stump]

Taxes

[lone mango]

You are making less than the standard deductible tho

[dusk knot]

[fervent stump]

No

[fervent stump]

[dusk knot]

i thought you where 16. well, when that happens, ask for more hours

[sinful blade]

BLAST OFF

[rancid juniper]

one can dream

i hope its true dang it

[fervent stump]

Yea

[rancid juniper]

imagine 4060ti 12gb type card for $250 or less

[hoary zodiac]

we need more competition so we can have a low-end to low-mid range again

[dusk knot]

management will find a way

[fervent stump]

So that’s why it’s hard to get what I want

[hoary zodiac]

nvidia and amd's been price gouging

[lone mango]

If it has more vram gamers will be pleased

[hoary zodiac]

we need someone to curb them

[safe cape]

https://tenor.com/view/credit-card-smacking-credit-card-on-table-gif-21340324

[rancid juniper]

lmao

[safe cape]

waiting for 5060

[rancid juniper]

5060 6GB and 8GB models

[hoary zodiac]

5050 when 😭

[fervent stump]

4080s or 5070

[lone mango]

Yeah amd's price creep is not worth it because they offer much less than nvidia

[hoary zodiac]

I mean

[lone mango]

3 years from now

[hoary zodiac]

to be fair radeon's always been good in pure gaming performance

[rancid juniper]

5070 faster than 4080s???

hmmm

[dusk knot]

5070. should be slighty weaker than a 4090

[rancid juniper]

oh wow

[dusk knot]

jk

[hoary zodiac]

nvidias are just meh unless you do stuff other than gaming

[dusk knot]

I imagine between a 4080-90

[fervent stump]

I do

[hoary zodiac]

good for you

[rancid juniper]

nvidia got huge marketshare on anything graphics

[dusk knot]

not true.

[fervent stump]

I’m saying which should I get

[lone mango]

Well at least at launch. 30 dollars less but being worse at everything else and just barely matching in rasterization is not worth

Over time tho the gap widens

[dusk knot]

IF I WHERE YOU.....5070

[fervent stump]

When does that release you think

[hoary zodiac]

elaborate

[lone mango]

Couple months

[rancid juniper]

if amd/intel can't win on competing high end surely they can battle it for low/midrange

[dusk knot]

you only ahve to wait 2-3 months

[fervent stump]

Oh ok

[rancid juniper]

and if they still fail then idk wtf

[dusk knot]

AHEM. better software support and drivers

oh and RT

[lone mango]

I always had pretty good amd drivers

[rancid juniper]

Counter: AMD's drivers are mature enough now, that bad amd driver era is over

[hoary zodiac]

Radeon drivers are not as bad as people say they are

[lone mango]

[dusk knot]

but not as good

[hoary zodiac]

it's not like in 2020 where your card could just not work

[rancid juniper]

eh

recently nvidia just updated their software control panel no?

[dusk knot]

AMD SHILL!!!😤

[rancid juniper]

im not bruh

[hoary zodiac]

not as good yes but you're not going to run into issues 90% of the time either

[dusk knot]

i think so

[fervent stump]

Nvidia and amd suck

[fervent stump]

[rancid juniper]

when i had the GTX 1060 i thought that card was goated for what it can do

[dusk knot]

yeah not as good is still good

[rancid juniper]

my first card was a GTX 650 lmfao

[hoary zodiac]

that's my point

you're paying a lot less for similar performance

[dusk knot]

you are correct, boeing

[opaque sedge]

The 10 series sound like they were way ahead of their time ngl

[fervent stump]

Is a 2k pc to much for a first pc

[proud jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/bocchi-hitori-goto-depressed-bocchi-the-rock-gif-27672004

[rancid juniper]

because they were

[fervent stump]

Or like 2.2

[rancid juniper]

the GTX 10 series made jensen cringe

[hoary zodiac]

to be fair to nvidia if you do stuff outside of gaming they're just a lot better with software support

[lone mango]

If you wait a year or two yeah. Seems that their cards always drop in price even if amd doesn't want them to

[opaque sedge]

Value wise if its a 4080s/xtx system it sounds fine, but when it comes to first pc if its smth u cant utilize fully then it might be in the end its a you question

[hoary zodiac]

adobe software and other stuff is optimised for nvidia

[rancid juniper]

Maxwell 2.0 + Pascal was imo Nvidia's best architectures

[hoary zodiac]

oh I never buy at launch

[rancid juniper]

because they delivered good performance for a reasonable price

[lone mango]

But I always wait a while to upgrade so I am fine with that

[lone mango]

[hoary zodiac]

I always upgrade when it is at least double the price of my card

[fervent stump]

Oh alright I get it I still think I’m getting what I wanted originally

[hoary zodiac]

• if I wait then the better models come out

[opaque sedge]

I’m just hoping my 4070s can get me by till i can earn a decent living

[hoary zodiac]

launch models can be meh

[rigid sinew]

I hope everyone has a great day today, happy thanksgiving !

[sinful blade]

I’m hoping I can find someone who is willing to part with a 1080ti for $100

[rancid juniper]

happy thanksgiving nat

[hoary zodiac]

that's pretty reasonable tbh

[lone mango]

I like to upgrade to the previous generation

[opaque sedge]

Thanksgiving reminds me i’m in a dinner rn

[rancid juniper]

not happening

[hoary zodiac]

absolutely

[rancid juniper]

[sinful blade]

I wish I could find one though

[opaque sedge]

Sitting outside in my car tho cuz i was suffocating inside

[hoary zodiac]

the price drops off so much when a new generation launches

[opaque sedge]

[sinful blade]

There so many out there still $300+

But ones for $130 or so

[hoary zodiac]

the mid range is entirely comprised of last gen gpus

[sinful blade]

Sell like cake

[lone mango]

This next gen might change that tho

Idk gotta wait and see

[hoary zodiac]

current gen can't really compete

low-mid range's been dead for years as well so

[lone mango]

I want that av1 encoding

[hoary zodiac]

also helps the used market

[opaque sedge]

Is an ips panel led based or lcd based?

[rancid juniper]

I like it when my games can run at 1080p medium 45fps and theres nothing happening on screen

[hoary zodiac]

LCD

[lone mango]

I love unreal engine 5

Unreal stutters

[hoary zodiac]

I'm going to use the unity counter

and say that it's not the engine it's the studios

[safe cape]

its hard

[opaque sedge]

Uploading a pic rn and its taking longer than my dad to go sober

[rancid juniper]

the fact that bro got 903 achievements in a single game

actually no... wtf were the developers smoking?

[hoary zodiac]

they have achievements for completing each mission on every difficulty

that's why it's so bloated

[rancid juniper]

artificial replay value

[hoary zodiac]

I mean

there is a lot of replay value

[safe cape]

how much time didi it take you to learn eu4 and hoi4 ?

[rancid juniper]

mmm

[hoary zodiac]

uhh

eu4?

[safe cape]

yeah

[hoary zodiac]

hmm

I want to say

400-500 hours

hoi4 was more like 200-300 hours

[rancid juniper]

[safe cape]

[hoary zodiac]

you mean the game mechanics or history

i think this one is more realistic

[hoary zodiac]

steel division ii

[lone mango]

Yeah but 45 fps with some high settings is pretty crazy with just 2 cu

[hoary zodiac]

but modern

[rancid juniper]

damn not bad

[lone mango]

Def hit 60 with settings turned down further

[hoary zodiac]

I run minecraft 1.20.6 with shaders on my ryzen 5000 igpu

limit fps for low temp

[hoary zodiac]

oh no temps aren't an issue

it's the fans going brrrrrrrrr

[storm narwhal]

But if you set it to max out at 24fps

[hoary zodiac]

could also have something to do with the fan curve

[storm narwhal]

No more fans

Massive brain

[hoary zodiac]

true

I mean

[rancid juniper]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gvR3b2

dang after looking at this

I could also just run it with the igpu

at 30fps

I didnt know there was a 8000 series.I thought they skipped it

build in igpu pc for 500$

[hoary zodiac]

why is the motherboard $120

[rancid juniper]

wild stuff

[safe cape]

it is what it is

[hoary zodiac]

oh it's the stupid itx tax

[rancid juniper]

ITX

yea

[lone mango]

It is laptop chips on a desktop package basically

They have very little cache

[hoary zodiac]

I kinda dig them tbh

[safe cape]

ohno just go m atx /a3/normal psu

[hoary zodiac]

they're good for stuff like nas and home server builds

[safe cape]

will be cheaper

[rancid juniper]

the case can fit that? lemme check

[safe cape]

s tier case

[dusk knot]

https://tenor.com/view/case-caseoh-your-banned-you'e-banned-get-out-gif-7698576230662898937

[dusk knot]

ah. I just knew

💀

[lone mango]

That board also has a lot of vrm for an a series board and also has 2 m.2 slots

[rancid juniper]

lol no

[hoary zodiac]

wtf

all that for an a series

[safe cape]

fit what mobo ?

[lone mango]

So that is why it is a lot

[hoary zodiac]

at that point surely they could've just put a b chipset on it

[lone mango]

[rancid juniper]

only SFX psus fit that case

[safe cape]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wHR3b2

something like this

[rancid juniper]

oh

nice

[safe cape]

https://www.reddit.com/r/mffpc/comments/1e24jwc/lian_li_a3_with_a_rather_large_gpu/

can hold dial tower

• atx psu and biiig gpu

or a 360mm aio

[rancid juniper]

can do it all

[hoary zodiac]

is that a matx case?

[lone mango]

Yeah

[fresh nova]

Activating PC heater 4070

Temps in 50's tonight

Windows open 4070 running whop 9

I'm about to get some good FPS tonight

[hoary zodiac]

I've got a huge soft spot for compact matx cases

you can fit full size psus and decent size gpus in them and they're not too big

[fresh nova]

Man I wish I still had my window fan system

[lone mango]

I mean matx is almost the same as atx cases except for height

There are smaller atx cases that aren't very long

But they are as long as matx

Main thing making them smaller is height

[last mango]

Intel inside

[rancid juniper]

AMD outside?

[lone mango]

Hardware unboxed thinks 8gb cards should be around $200 this generation after last gen cards were $300

Come on bro

Idk ima believe it when i see it

[tranquil pebble]

more likely that we will see the end of low end cards as a whole... has been trending that way for a while

[lone mango]

At the same time though they might be up to something because of arc

I think for nvidia yes, but arc is helping and that means amd might have to step it up too

[sinful blade]

Hey @sweet phoenix
How are the asus strix 1080tis

[idle nexus]

Strix is top tier

[sinful blade]

https://imgur.com/a/GH2wcAr
how about $90?

[lone mango]

Sounds bangin fr

[idle nexus]

Heck $90 is good. Make sure it's not "for parts" at that price lol

[lone mango]

But didn't nvidia drop support for it though

[sinful blade]

I don’t play any newer games

[sinful blade]

He messaged me on Reddit about it
Said he never opened it cuz he was gonna build a pc with his kid, and his kid went to school

[idle nexus]

I've been meaning to replace a Gaming X I borked & finally run SLI with blocks on both

[lone mango]

True but amd still at least has updates for vega

Just not that often

[opaque sedge]

The comments talked him out it thankfully

[idle nexus]

& I usually don't see them under like $120

[safe cape]

for 90$

insaaaane

[idle nexus]

That's like getting to too good to be true territory lol

[rancid juniper]

lol

tread carefully

[idle nexus]

Ig they just want it out ASAP? Ehh

[sinful blade]

He provided the pics

He has a hws acc with confirmed trades

Sounds fine to me tbh

[idle nexus]

"for parts only" is $132

[sweet phoenix]

I just got a 1080 ti strix for $90

[sinful blade]

[sweet phoenix]

It wasn't working for me but dude said it's working fine for him now

Thats the ded 1080 ti i traded back to him w my 3060 ti for a 2080 ti

[sinful blade]

I see

[sweet phoenix]

Idk my pcs been so God damn weird

[sinful blade]

Same tbh

Been phasing out of reality

[sweet phoenix]

I'm going to wipe all of my drives soon and do a fresh install of windows again, if that doesn't work I'll wait till I have a job again and get a new cpu mobo and ram

[sinful blade]

Every update with your pc is like a whole new chapter in the saga

[sinful blade]

Did you look into the remote positions I said about

[cobalt mantle]

What’s the best channel to ask for advice on buying a new SSD with the sale?

[sweet phoenix]

Not yet, I should still have a job some time between dec-february

[sweet phoenix]

What machine are you putting it in and what's your budget?

[cobalt mantle]

I think I have the one I want just seeing if it’s maybe the best bang for the buck

[sweet phoenix]

What is it?

[cobalt mantle]

SAMSUNG SSD 990 PRO with Heatsink 1TB, PCIe 4.0, Sew. Read Speeds Up-to 7,450MB/s

[sweet phoenix]

Unless it's under $70 I wouldnt bother

[cobalt mantle]

On newegg.ca for $139 CAD from $239

[sweet phoenix]

And unless you're doing some very intense workstation tasks with consistent high speed transfers between ssds it won't make a difference between a mediocre gen 3 ssd

Let alone a decent, much cheaper gen 4 one. Let me grab some alternatives

[sinful blade]

Ah
If you want easy money, and don’t mind spending a few hours a day memorizing stuff, get certified in your state to be a pharmacy technician

[cobalt mantle]

I’m just looking for higher read/write speeds for a 1TB SSD

For gaming

[sweet phoenix]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/McCXPJ

[cobalt mantle]

Motherboard is a ROG STRIX B450-F

[sweet phoenix]

Read and write speeds don't matter for gaming. Random write speeds are what's important, and any of those ssds including the 990 will perform identically

Your motherboard doesn't even support pcie 4.0

Any of those ssds will be limited to gen 3 speeds

God I cannot type

[sinful blade]

English is hard

In your defense

[cobalt mantle]

Would it make sense for buying Gen 4 for the eventual move to a Gen 4 motherboard

[sweet phoenix]

Yes, although it still won't make a noticeable impact on games. I still wouldnt bother with the 990

P41 is the most expensive 1tb drive id suggest, and it's just as high end as the 990

Id much rather a 2tb mp44l for $140 though

[cobalt mantle]

So around $100 CAD what’s the best looking then? I really only need 1TB

[lone mango]

Fr

dude i NEED the gen 5 drive to transfer over something once a month at its rated speed only for it to throttle down due to high power draw

[barren junco]

what this mean bru

i’m jus tryna hop onna game

[idle nexus]

Is Xmp enabled?

[barren junco]

there was xmp 1 and 2

i clicked 1

and it doesn’t let me go into bios with del

[idle nexus]

Well damn ig these stupid msi cards are overpriced for some reason

One of these was bad & I've wanted to actually run this since lol

Those are MSI Gaming X

I have two of those (one broken) & two MSI Gaming X Trio

[spark halo]

https://tenor.com/view/southpark-shopping-black-friday-gif-4698508

[idle nexus]

& of course, the waterblock does not fit on the Trio

I tried

[spark halo]

Black friday thru cyber monday be like

[idle nexus]

Does it tell you what it's running? like 6000c34-38-38 or something?

[barren junco]

No it’s just xmp 1 and 2

[sweet phoenix]

P41

[barren junco]

keeps saying your pc ran into a problem

i’m cooked bru

[idle nexus]

Click on advanced options & try to continue to windows lol

[barren junco]

i did it sent me back to the same one

[sweet phoenix]

Or shut pc off and clear cmos

[sweet phoenix]

What cpu mobo and ram do you have

And what slots do you have the ram in

[barren junco]

second and fourth

[idle nexus]

7700x b650 aorus ice or something

[barren junco]

yes

[idle nexus]

We went crazy with this heckin thing the other night

[sweet phoenix]

Might need to try manually setting a profile

Otherwise id rma something, either mobo or ram

[idle nexus]

Heck let's OC memory ig lol

[lone mango]

Did you try both

[barren junco]

yeah they both brought me back here

[sweet phoenix]

Some kits have like a missing timing or something for amd in the xmo profile?

[lone mango]

Did it also show the speed and timings of the ram?

[barren junco]

it was working fine earlier

[sweet phoenix]

It's very weird

[idle nexus]

Iirc xmp was 6000cSomething

[barren junco]

nope just 1 and 2

[idle nexus]

Is there an EXPO profile?

[lone mango]

What about expo? I remember the picture sent showed xmp 1 and 2 and also expo

[lone mango]

Swear there was

[lone mango]

oh there were two

Ok try expo 1

[idle nexus]

Oh heck it's probably trying to run some Intel 7200 or something

[barren junco]

i can’t get there anymore it doesn’t let me into the bios

[idle nexus]

Are you on the blue windows screen still?

[barren junco]

i’m in. bios now

sometimes it lets me in sometimes not

[idle nexus]

If so go to advanced then there should be an option for UEFI settings

[barren junco]

what setting do i put it at from here

[idle nexus]

Looks like it says 6000 there

[tranquil pebble]

Jumped several distros before finding one where the Python pip package did not explode on use

[idle nexus]

Still, try EXPO 1

[barren junco]

that was when it was on xmp 1

[idle nexus]

EXPO is for AMD

[barren junco]

ah okay

it’s in expo 1

[cobalt mantle]

Talking about the SK Hynix or Solidigm?

[barren junco]

do i save and exit

[idle nexus]

So XMP might not include the voltage settings for AMD

Yes

Press F10 then enter

[barren junco]

it’s resetting

it’s back to the your device ran into a problem

[rare ocean]

yo i just cancelled my parts order bc u guys charged me 100$ more?!?!?!?!

will i get my money paid fully include that extra 100$ that i paid more

help asap

[barren junco]

i can get into the UEFI firmware settings

[sinful blade]

@digital thunder can help

[rare ocean]

help please

[sinful blade]

We are just a discord of people

message them @rare ocean

[rare ocean]

will they ever response

[sinful blade]

They are normal humans, so it might take them a day or two

[rare ocean]

bruh

[sinful blade]

You can always email support

[rare ocean]

i need refund asap

blackfriday end soon

😢

[sinful blade]

You got a few more days

[rare ocean]

how?!

it end tmr

[sinful blade]

Oh rip

Well, Newegg customer service might help

But your refund will depend on your bank more than likely

[rare ocean]

i used crypto

[sinful blade]

That’s certainly a choice to be made

[rare ocean]

btw but

[sweet phoenix]

Hynix

[rare ocean]

i cancel my order like 5-10 min right after the order

so refund should take much quicker right?!

[sinful blade]

Nobody here can tell you when you’re gonna get your refund

[cobalt mantle]

What if I bought a Crucial P3 1TB PCIe 3.0 3D NAND NVMe? 3500MB/s

$84.99 CAD ^

[pliant berry]

Typically once money is taken it can take about a week to refund. Unless banks do special processing for holidays

[wary fjord]

ask @digital thunder if u have concerns about your purchase.

Is this SD.Next? I couldn't get this to work and I have no idea why it wouldn't work lol

[tranquil pebble]

yes it is

[craggy shoal]

bruh

[tranquil pebble]

99% chance python issues

[craggy shoal]

running on 3.11 (maybe it was 3.10. Forgot which one)

[tranquil pebble]

I had to compile my own Python and manually activate the PyEnv to get it working

[craggy shoal]

Bruh

Should just be a drop-in program

"Here's the steps you need it to run." I followed these steps. Didn't work

Even followed the "you need to install these before you install this program" steps too (as anybody should)

[tranquil pebble]

Yeah this is stuff the thing should do for you.

I may end up attempting to make a script for this.

[craggy shoal]

lol just make a .sh file for all of the stuff

[tranquil pebble]

yeah, I would also maybe merge that with the webui.sh

was a nice learning experience for using what is essentially Arch linux though

thank god for aur having multiple python versions in it

[tranquil pebble]

it is designed to be... and in fact is on Windows. On Linux, changing Python versions is far harder.

Also there are multiple distros with different ways of doing things

[craggy shoal]

I think the Windows version doesn't allow for ROCm though. At least iirc

[tranquil pebble]

It will use the Zluda though if you install HIP and download Zluda

[mortal grail]

My spaghet be rocm about in muh washing macheen

[craggy shoal]

Maybe I should just properly install HIP next time I try

[mortal grail]

Go to the night club

Hand on HIP

Rocm all about

Then later we be Radeon chillin' in the back

[dawn python]

Which monitor should I get? I’m using it only for flight simulator the 2 options I looking at are the Alienware 34in 1440 165hz oled AW3423DWF or the Alienware 32in 4k oled AW3225QF

[craggy shoal]

Felix...

What is this

[mortal grail]

What

It was dirty

[craggy shoal]

mf said "What"

as if he isn't insane and stuck spaghetti inside his washing machine

[mortal grail]

Dwf isn't too bad for what it is

[mortal grail]

I'm not

You know me

[craggy shoal]

💀

[mortal grail]

We known each other all these years

I'm the perfect model of sane

[dawn python]

Yeah I’m just not sure which one to get as there both on sale

[mortal grail]

How much for either and what gpu

[tranquil pebble]

on Windows, the installer does everything for you. Same as installing a Radeon driver.

[craggy shoal]

bett imma try it out tomorrow

Don't have the time nor focus tonight lol

[mortal grail]

Hewlett international packard

[tranquil pebble]

You may need to delete the venv folder and relaunch to get it going though

[craggy shoal]

If I try tonight imma be up all night trying to figure it out, probably give up at midnight, and then not be able to sleep until 2am

[dawn python]

The 1440 one is 650$ and the 4k one is 899$ and I got a 4080

[mortal grail]

DWF

[craggy shoal]

Honestly I'm probably going to (re)install Windows. I think I have Ubuntu on my 6800 XT machine rn because I tried it a couple weeks ago on that installation

[mortal grail]

@dawn python no contest btw the DWF just makes more sense

[dawn python]

Alright

[dawn python]

Yeah that’s what I was thinking as well

[mortal grail]

Wider panoramic, better gpu match, cheaper price

Just remember to not run it slammed in HDR or max brightness all the time

[dawn python]

Yeah exactly

[dawn python]

What do u mean?

[craggy shoal]

and now we're back to tech support #general-chat

[mortal grail]

Use the refresh cycles and run screensavers often

[mortal grail]

Shut

[craggy shoal]

ur mom

[mortal grail]

You were just talking about rocm

[craggy shoal]

or I'll shut her for you

;)

[dawn python]

How do u do that?

[mortal grail]

Windows settings

And for the monitor try to run about 30% brightness or "HDR dark" if available

[dawn python]

Alright

[mortal grail]

Reason I say this is although the DWF is good with burn in, it's not perfect

Treat it well and it'll last

[dawn python]

Sounds good thank you.

[mortal grail]

@craggy shoal see that didn't take long

Soo relatable. I either speed up to get away or change lanes. Some of these headlights should be illegal.

[craggy shoal]

It's always some truck in downtown wherever too

[mortal grail]

Speed up huh

Hello 911

[dusk knot]

Only 10 miles above the speed limit

[craggy shoal]

lol only 10?

[dusk knot]

Yeah

[mortal grail]

Lol only a small speeding infraction?

[dusk knot]

Here in Florida, everyone does it

That’s the most I feel comfortable going

[craggy shoal]

A lot of people drive like 10 under where I am. At that point, I'm hitting double the speed limit to pass them

little Ford Focus that could

[dusk knot]

I’ve done that…only temporarily ofc

I’m not MKBHD here

💀

[mortal grail]

I'd never speed I'm not a criminal

Smh

[shoves tickets in the bin]

[dusk knot]

I’ve never gotten a ticket yet

Ik what I’m doing

[mortal grail]

Yet

[dusk knot]

[craggy shoal]

I've never gotten a ticket and I normally speed lol

[mortal grail]

You dangerous mf

[craggy shoal]

The speed limit is a joke lmao

[mortal grail]

You dangerous mfs

[craggy shoal]

You're telling me 40 mph is fast? 😭

[dusk knot]

It’s not like…I’ll go 60 in a 45mph zone

[mortal grail]

At least it's only a focus and not a mustang

Anyway I should stop now

[dusk knot]

L

[craggy shoal]

I do this all the time lol

[storm narwhal]

The speed limit is just a number

[dusk knot]

Prolong?🤨

[storm narwhal]

You know what else is a suggestion? This segue to our sponsor

[craggy shoal]

I'll go like 30 max down my neighborhood street though. And also follow the school zone speed limit. But I'm usually otherwise going about 15 mph above the speed limit

[storm narwhal]

Nah I'll go at the speed limit in streets and stuff

[mortal grail]

Mr officer this man right here

[dusk knot]

God I hate those school zones

[storm narwhal]

Only time I ever even "speed" is on the highway

[mortal grail]

Btw no wonder ur focus is falling apart

💀

[storm narwhal]

Its becoming the ford unfocused

[craggy shoal]

I wouldn't say that's entirely why. But yeah maybe contributing

[mortal grail]

[storm narwhal]

Imagine LMAO

ENORMOUS SPOILER

[mortal grail]

That spoiler haunts my dreams rn

[craggy shoal]

Stomping my foot onto the pedal so the transmission shifts to the lowest possible gear, yeah maybe that caused enough clutch wear for me to need a clutch replacement (and yes that actually happened last incident, only I think it was due to maybe like ~30 minutes worth of driving with a bad ABS module)

[dusk knot]

No way that’s real

[storm narwhal]

ITS SO UNECRSSARILY HUGE

[opaque sedge]

That poor car

[mortal grail]

You know you can trick that without stomping

[craggy shoal]

sorry for the phat paragraph guys

[mortal grail]

[rancid juniper]

i use my cut gears

[storm narwhal]

No its 100% true

[craggy shoal]

nah the clutch wear was for sure from my previous ABS issues. DCTs are designed to have this function

[storm narwhal]

I use 100% natural farm sourced gears

[storm narwhal]

That's the harmless one right

I forget

[dusk knot]

Oh no……the money

[mortal grail]

Known harmless to humans but dangerous to grass

[craggy shoal]

I would've still have to take the car to Ford to reprogram the ABS module and there's no way I trust myself replacing the clutch

[storm narwhal]

It will eliminate all your grass if not properly contained

[dusk knot]

I see

[craggy shoal]

Plus I've already taken the car to multiple places and there were back-and-forth responses from each shop stating "it's the ABS module" or "it's the TCM" so I just took it to this transmission guy who ended up replacing the ABS module anyways

[mortal grail]

probably my worst three months lol

And then I finally got my car back with a shot battery. I got that replaced last Friday after trying to start it while it was cold that morning

[storm narwhal]

Wow it really corrected spontaneous to simultaneously huh

The whole car feels much more reliable now 🤞

You'll probably have small electric issues and small cosmetic issues, which I'd much prefer to have more than my major and catastrophic mechanical issues

bruh

[mortal grail]

I heard every drop of your sheer despair from here

[storm narwhal]

Replace the engine block which needs small adapters to sit
