And that difference makes my brain work extra hard and occasionally give me splitting headaches
Bro I'm 27

It's literally a childhood condition resurfacing
It's not the end of the world, just annoying
The glasses should handle it tho
Late 20s gang
this is fake right??? lmao
who sent the email?
Sometimes I feel like my hobbies are expensive
"$100? That's baby money for me" when somebody says $100 is expensive
Reason number 57 of why I don't have money:
its a tool, it will make its money back
Don't trust that 💀
its fake
"the message was sent by a trusted sender"
Like wtf is that email URL lmaoooo
is mad funny
A neuralink competitor restored central vision to legally blind people
Neuralink also got an emergency breakthrough grant from the fda or whatever it was called for something similar
Its happening
Cyberpunk implants are happening
But the scary part is neuralink getting remote patches
So you already know hackers will figure out how to take advantage of that
imagine all the ads
I think that would be more for augmented reality stuff
Those glasses and whatnot
I don’t think they will get into implants
tfw there is a red flag bigger than the great wall of china
if it gets functional, elons gonna do something similar to that one scene in the first spongebob movie with the mind-controlled buckets
literal 1984
I can imagine a hacking group similar to swapping people with implants and breaking through the corporation’s security to shut off implants

imagine if the world gets to the point where these things become so popular they are essential for doing anything
Thanks discord for not using the reply i sent
so if you don't use it, you can't do anything like order from a menu
.
this is fake (you should probably blur out the link fyi)
fedex link is fake too
Thats my point lol, scams will try and get you
Ive already peeked all those links (safely with vpn + tracker and adblock) and they all try to get you to "login" into your account
But the only things that work on those web pages are the login, if you click any other link on those pages it breaks
Those scam texts never leave me alone 
they are getting better and better nowadays
Yep, which is scary for those who arent technologically wary enough
Nowadays dont click suspicious links is the same as dont accept the free candy
But free candy 
Isn't it weird we warn kids against accepting candy from strangers and then have a holiday where we have kids go out and accept candy from strangers 
Thats
Thats a really good point lmao
"Dont accept candy from strangers, except the day where you accept candy from strangers because EVERYBODY is offering you free candy"
the razorblade in the candy is a special bonus
Damn they just straight copied the tallneck
Same actually
Same blue eyed robot animal thingy
With the yellow weakspot
Yeah thats literally just a photocopy
and then there is GDDR which is basically QDR in a way
they almost got me one time when an amazon one

it's like your payment method was declined. Please correct the information & had a link
black friday deals on computer parts never seem to be that amazing for some reason
Just don't accept the ones in vans, that's what I'll tell my kids
These are kinda nice for the price but there's no 12vhpwr so what the heck https://www.amazon.com/Asiahorse-Extension-1x24-PIN-2x8-PORT-3x8-PORT/dp/B0B56LHGRC?
maybe like coolers or fans would be low price since I think they have more room to lower those
Only accept the ones with razor blades
Free gift for the older trick or treaters, they can use it to help shave 
Y'know, like those weird High Schoolers who manage to have full facial hair by 16
Id be scared of getting an infection ngl
Fun fact, early onset facial hair typically leads to balding
lol 4060 was such a flop that it's on sale for the about the same price as 3060 what the heck
Considering its about the same performance, no surprise
I think it's something to do with higher testosterone levels because DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is what kills hair follicles
Yurp
smoking exacerbates hair loss because the tar gets in the little capillaries that bring blood to the follicles
Surely I won't be bald, I couldn't grow any serious facial hair until 20 stares at my father who was mostly bald
smoking is bad for basically everything in your body
supposedly it's more complicated than that. The whole, "if your mom's dad was bald you will be too" thing is not a sure thing
usually mustache comes first lol
Yeah, he had a moustache. And then started balding
at least you don't try anyway & end up with just hair on your neck & patchy facial hair
that's not really a good look for anyone lol
is this a good black friday deal chat?
heck the Arc A770 is $229. That's pretty heckin cheap lol
does ddu remove gpu cache or stuff that can make my pc slow
seems like ebay offer is slightly lower unless you go refurb but you'd probably have to shop around more
shader cache?
@idle nexus can u find me a good gaming laptop
idk im dumb with pcs but ive been lagging recently for no reason and my gpu is always at 100%
im hoping ddu fixes it idk
I don't go patchy, it just doesn't come in very thick. Most of my hair just grows in on the sides, so it just goes thick to thin as you go down my face 
you can disable shader cache
What gpu
where is that in amd
ah heck not sure ngl
something that's affordable and good on black friday
Except for two spots where the hair comes in thicker on either side of my chin
Dang I'm getting more of this recently, typically the drivers alone are fine but the adrenalin control panel be finicky
I mean what kind of graphics card it comes with.
bros built for mutton chops
I'm not the greatest with laptops ngl
I'm sure the price won't be great if you had a strong cpu paired with weak gpu
Not sure abt disabling but there’s an option to reset it in Adrenalin
would this be better over my rtx 3050???
Not a good upgrade imo
better? technically
Needs higher
^^^
what's a good affordable gpu i can get to replace my rtx 3050 then?
Whats affordable to you?
$300
360 rn as well
4070 or equivalent
You can get a 3070ti for $300
@sweet phoenix any go-to laptops for gaming?
used
I paid $370 for a rx 6900xt
or refurb
Felix and foxy are much better w laptops than me, but I can take a quick look. What's the budget?
Damn
3070ti is pretty good GPU but buying an 8gb GPU these days is becoming increasingly questionable
id just browse for a cheaper 7700xt
4050/4060 laptops between 500-800 is the sweet spot for games
Used
@trail nest
Or around 300-500ish with an rnda2/rdna3? igpu
Or that tuf advantage one when its on sale
yes but I still wouldn't recommend getting it
do i ever have to update chipset drivers
so an rtx 3070ti is still better than an rtx 4060???
yea
12GB
I do but I'm not entirely sure it's necessary tbh. It might just be something you'd do if you're having issues
Nvidia kinda seems to have shafted the 60 series this time ngl
Yes
By a lot
3070 ti is slightly better than the 4060 ti
i havent updated them in like 8months since install but having issues. is there a ddu type thing for that or do i need to uninstall them first?
Which is almost a 30% difference over the 4060
@trail nest the xx60 non-ti cards are just not great
if you're going 4060ti, definitely go for the 16gb model
every rtx 3070ti i'm looking at on ebay right now only has 8gb gddr6 though
mind you the big difference here really is efficiency
Has anyone here ever bought an item from jawa before?
but at this price range thats not a concern
one of the selling boints of 40 series is frame gen & that uses lots of vram
6700xt should be alright
8gb is getting to too low for modern games
so there is a 12gb gddr6 rtx 3070ti???
Do you want ray tracing frame gen dlss?
6700xt has 12 gigs
It sucks and looks more choppy than ray tracing with 30 frames in cyberpunk 😭
i think you need more question marks
ya cause every rtx 3070ti i'm looking at right now only has 8gb gddr6
theres a 16 gig model lmao
theres different vram models
Debatable
Starfield on a laptop 
There's a 16gig 3070ti? 
Bout to recommend those Frankenstein ah gpus from AliExpress
What's your budget for a gpu
Or is this in laptops
designed but unreleased
true but like 2-3 years from now?
ive not seen a 12gb model tho
I just wouldn't really bother with a 4060 ti honestly. Both are bad choices, the 16gb because of its price, the 8gb because of the vram and its price
amd
Go AMD
ya just avoid it fr
7700xt/6800 and 6700xt/6750xt just make much more sense
6700xt
i said this earlier 😭
If you're considering a 4060 ti, used 3060 ti lmao
id just go 7700xt for the featureset personally
damn, I really wish I could say, "ya check out the Arc A770--it's only $229 rn" but I'd probably stress about that lol
poor intel has zero game compat lol
They do
Damn
If it was mass produced
ah ig i havent
It'd sell like hot cakes
Now you gotta learn how to solder and make 16 gig happen at your own home
Ajd you cannot sell it
Legally
supposedly drivers are on point now but again, I can't say for sure & definitely not for sure enough to tell people they should grab one
ig I gotta get one & see for myself lol
Hopefully Battlemage launches with good drivers
They theoretically should
But it is Intel
They are in a habit of bombing things nowadays
Literally i assume
Intel saying gaming doesn't matter go brrrrrr
Arc is basically a video encoding card lol
didnt their stock drop after they said that? lol
Should a relatively new pc gamer buy skyrim?
Especially with no experience with modding games
They’re gaming
I stopped paying attention to their stock, I got my money in after their crash and dipped at a high point
But very good with encoding
not immediately IMO
If by modding you mean downloading mods and not making them, it is a fine starting point for learning load orders and picking and choosing what to download, sure
yeah that is what I meant
This looks like those gpus from like 10 years ago ngl
Bethesda games are basically modding sandboxes afterall. They basically make you have to learn how to load order
It’s the bifrost
It’s meant to be enticing
The ogers are where it’s at
Quite literally yes
Interesting
The older ones are harder to get working than Skyrim when modded now though, so take that as you will
Actually, I don't have experience with Oblivion modding, so I dunno about that. Fallout 3 and NV were imo harder to get functional when modding
Fallout 4 and Skyrim, especially the later versions of Skyrim were generally easier, iirc og Skyrim I had more problems with scripts functioning properly than anything else
And Fallout 4 has the problem of you can literally destroy your framerate with a single mod
Precombines go brrr
totopos

Arc still falls behind in some games but that will obviously get better over time
But for the games it is optimized for it performs very well
There is this arc oc utility and you can undervolt with it. It becomes super efficient when undervolting
Be interesting to see next arc gen
what are some funny things yall do with smart bulbs
Laugh at people who waste money on smart bulbs 

aren't these like notoriously easy to hack?
Correct
When I lived at my parents, I would set them to do a random colour every x hours other than standard white
my understanding is it's like 3060ish
It’s closer to 4060ti ish
Like not quite ti
Double the vram though
Fr
7900XTX is pretty close to 4090 until you hit 4k

Hoping the next gen of high end arc cards gives the 7900 GRE a run for its value/frame
I was surpised that 3080ti is near 7900 GRE
3080ti is a wild card
at 4k I mean
I wish I'd waited & gottan 3090 instead of 3080ti back then must I'm mostly over it
Wait if its near gre does it mean its near 3090 too?
it looks like 3090 outperforms 7900GRE at 4k according to that picture
Ok now i see why the 4090 is such a wild af card
for sure
But now there’s a lot of competition
Bigger and faster vram prolly helps
wasn't 3080ti just a 3090 with less VRAM? I forget
Looks like it has gddr6x
Amd is still gonna use gddr6 for their next gpus according to rumors apparently
I think
The 3090 had a tiny bit more perf though
3090ti was gucci gang
Where’s my 4090ti super
did 3090 & 3080ti share the same die tho?
Some guy apparently found a prototype in the trash
They were both GA 102
Supposedly
both GA102 but 3090 has more CUDA cores I think
I'm gonna go disappoint my son in Fortnite
same username if anyone wants to watch me suck
3090 had more CUDA cores and slightly higher clocks
Are you going to be playing ranked in his acc or smth 💀
no we're just playing unranked zero build or something
Something like 256 more cores and 30mhz higher clocks
Hit 360 scope
@idle nexus tomie is pretty good, 100% can help you win
soo who's playing? lol
you fortnite?
I’m playing destiny 2
am5 board is here
yay
?
looks like the board mother
got no friends to play with so not playing
Im trying to partition my internal storage has 3,814,909Mb or 3.8Tb I tried shrinking the storage 2,800,000Mb but it keeps saying 0 space available when shrinking.
Is my math not mathing correctly?
I'm literally just trying to leave 1tb for Windows and the rest for another OS
can you not create a blank partition and allocate 2.8tb to it?
Having issue with this board I think only A1 slot is working all other slot giving me c5 error

No bent pins nothing I brought on bundle with a 9800x3d don’t I need to send back the entire bundle for a replacement or just the mobo ?
Anyone know ?
Epic games launcher is offering free nitro if anyone cares
talk to neweggservice about replacement if possible
if you loosen the cooler, it doesn't help?
Already tried cooler is not tight
is that a suprim 4090 
I guess I chat to then tomorrow
apparently only one side of the RAM clicks in on that board?
eh I mean like latches in
Both side click I already try like 50 times there’s no way always only work on A1 slot
tried pushing in the not latching side
Ram slots that only have one moving clip are weird
every time i encounter one i'm like "why"
heckin MSI loves that crap lol
My Taichi has them and I was confused when I was putting the ram in for a sec
apparently somehow removing 1 clip saves enough money to be worth it
ultimately you should be in A2+B2 but my guess is you know that lol
lol funny, my taichi doesn't
@mortal grail how much do you reckon I could sell that pc+1080ti for as a whole?
when will 64GB DDR4 get cheap?
Is the X570 Taichi
Yes I know but any of those slot give me c5 error on 1 stick
it's already cheap
Only A1 post to bios and windows already on lasted bios even downgrade bios
Also the bios is bleh
I use these. $75/each https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CGWFYBXB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Overwhelming Performance Improved DDR5 Memory: KLEVV DDR5 memory module delivers starting speed at 5600MT/s, 75% faster than DDR4. Lower Voltage, Highly Improved Performance Built-in PMIC: While achieving 20% lower power consumption compared to DDR4 memory, DDR5 memory can reduce dynamic voltage ...
does either stick work in that slot?
throwback
you have 13600K
on a D4 board hehehehehehheehhe
find a D5 board & memory or something lol
Only allowed method of updating the bios is to use a usb stick meanwhile ASUS budget boards have the ability to do things such as: allow you to look in your storage for the update
na
I tested gskill and Kingston’s fury both work on A1
Much difficult and niche 
are you using 4 or 2?
or you have two kits?
2 but only running 1 stick
one of the sticks is sus
Yes I have a old kit 4800 to test
so you have two total & one is Kingston & the other G.Skill?
Yes but I am not using togather just using the Kingston’s to test
two dimms I mean
The digital debug codes are nice tho. That is why the board has a $300 MSRP, spent all the money on digital debug, cheaped out on the ram slots and bios features 
& every DIMM works in A1?
Yes
you did your clear CMOS already I assume
when you get it to actually run Windows
you installed chipset driver?
Yes everything on lasted bios chipset
I even tested beta bios from Asus forums 0705
I found a post on Reddit with same mobo only a1 working
Yes like 5min
15 is memory training if I not wrong
Only the Kingston’s fury doesn’t train goes directly c5 since is Jdec specs 4800
did you enable the EXPO/XMP on the single module?
I wonder if enabling it then throwing the other stick on would make it try to run at those settings lol
Only a1 get me to bios and windows
why is all the Crucial T700 & T705 out of stock suddenly 😭
what's crazy is having looked this is how common the issue is
Already inspected the board no single scratches or dust on the socket no bent pints
That’s why I am thinking is the motherboard
gaming x trio 4090
sorry just to cover this base, you did clear CMOS?
I remember having an issue with my new pc build where it was stuck at A1, A0, and 01 lol
I just used the jumper cmos
and it worked
Yes like 300 times with clear cmos bottom and battery
Yes 3 time
3rd time was to take pics of the socket
I am new here not sure why my pics is grey out can’t send photos to the chat

Tomorrow I gonna borrow some gskill neo to further troubleshoot if doest work pretty sure is motherboard
I'm pretty sure it's the motherboard
I have like 16 tabs open rn trying to make sense of this
& the only "solution" consistent on most of them is "replaced the board, works fine now"
I brought in a bundle 9800x3d I was wondering if I need to send the CPU too for remplaced of the motherboard
Nah, if you send the cpu too for a mobo problem you aren't getting the cpu back
how long ago did you get it? if you can return it to the retailer, it'll likely be quicker than waiting for heckin RMA
I just had a phone call about my order, as it was delayed due to 'LABOUR DISRUPTION' and was told to contact customer service. Though, I couldnt get the entire message of what they said, as they just repeated in chinese and didnt have an option to repeat in English. LMAO.
So only need to send the mobo back for remplace
but if you're RMAing the board, I doubt you'd have to return the CPU
honestly it seems heckin stupid if you have to return the CPU & the board but wouldn't be all that surprising
RMA process is normally mobo only and anything else you send may or may not be returned
ya for RMA, you'd have to deal with Asus
You poor soul...
for return or exchange, you deal with the retailer
@idle nexus ur a dad right?
And ASUS's policy towards RMA of mobos is remove anything and everything besides mobo itself or we might yoink it 
yes
There’s refund and remplece option on Newegg
I've been meaning to play KCD. It is on the to do list
its on a deep discount rn
anyone have a pretty simple guide to amd ryzen oc or asus memory settinga?
but seems to be the type of game a stoic person or a dad might enjoy
that would likely be faster
'S cause the sequel is coming out in Feb.
also, ASUS will swap your board with a refurb too
I haven't so no lol
its cool
KCD was one of those games that never went on sale for ages because it was that highly regarded
Or it'd be like a tiny sale, 5% off or something
so 90% is biggg
I mean though Newegg no Asus
149 fora one year protection plan is wild
I wonder.... if a product ordered from NewEgg fails to meet its delivery date, with no delivery date insight due to a labour disruption, Would NewEgg issue a recall on it, and the buyer can just order another product? The product is a 22 dollar lil thing from Phanteks. lol.
@craggy shoal @mortal grail u guys are not gonna believe this
I even looked up more in the past and those guys effing love thermalright coolers
I mean
In the pcmr discord
the macho rev b was a really solid option back in the late 2010s to early 2020s
this purchase boutta deal -14 psychic damage
context:
Damn looked it up and its kinda expensive
Yoo what is that heatsink
budget NH-D15
laptop 741.99
huh
There isn't anything wrong with an air cooler
someday I'll try using an air cooler
you wanna put a macho rev b on a laptop?
better than 1k but spending over 500 directly hurts my soul
What type of cooler did ur early builds have?
Just don't be stupid with it and try using an air cooler that can't handle the chip you want to put it on
1k is the value sweet spot unfortunately
Coolermaster Masterliquid 360 or something
So u have never touched an air cooler
Damn
for laptops it's like $600-1200
air coolers are like the radeons of coolers
that 360mm AIO is on my dad's 5600G lol
now i can finally save for important things
like rent and food
yet to pay for either
inflation hit us hard
this was my first build. 10900K/3060
unless anyone can reccomend a robo litter box
Rent ain't inflation either. Just scummy practices and business shenanigans
the TUF 3060 looked so boring so I put 5mm LEDs in it
those dirty landlords
i saw a posting for a 1br
1350
it's also a cultural thing
a month
like holy
it advertised new heat and appliances
but like
that should already be in there??
some people with let's say a lot of capital likes to invest in properties overseas
Studios go for 900 here 
Yes
those 5mm LEDs are still in there. good adhesive lol
studio should be like 650 max
lol check out apartments in Miami pricesw
imo
miami and cali dont count
the problem is that housing is too much of a commodity
the bubble keeps on going up
because what are you going to do? not live in a house?
because dirty corporations buying up all the affordable housing
$1575 for 1 bedroom
not just corporations
individuals as well
who need allem houses
oh well
gta time
good night sir fellows
and may you enjoy your leftover mac and cheese
Nah, everybody is buying housing to turn it into a money making machine, not just foreign firms. You got TikTok slum lords buying up tons of apartment complexes, basically just doing nothing and then bragging about how much money they make kicking people out by raising rent
oh no I'm not just blaming the foreign firms
124 listings in all of miami under $1500 lol
and green beans
I'm more saying that they're a sign of a broken system
housing is way too commodised that quite literally anyone, even people don't even live in the same country can buy up a bunch of them
provided that they have the capital
Doesn't help that communities are obssesed with making single family homes and banning anything even slightly approaching an apartment complex
ahahahha
apartment complexes aren't immune either
look at Hong Kong's housing market
million dollar closets
Hey send you some pics on dm since I cannot send pics here
Oh I know, but low density housing is the only accepted form of housing here in most of rural America, so you have to go begging to get one of the few apartments
I live in rural TN, the closest apartments go for starting at 900 a month for a studio in a place that has jobs starting at $9 an hour
$9 per hour?
Anyone want a ROG ring
no wonder why you guys have such an active tipping culture
I am in a no tip job, I am a Fuel Coordinator, I make 10.98
Fuel clerks start at 9
And stop at 9.20
yikes
@nocturne flicker easy job to make tips+13.50/hr is Olive Garden to go specialist
Easiest job I worked
They gave me 0 hours because of issues I had with the lead manager, but you’d have better luck
You just answer the phone, pack orders in a bag, and put breadsticks into the oven
That’s literally it
This is rural TN. We only have fast food joints, a Shoney's, a Waffle House and a greasy spoon
so we have a bad selection of food places
I want chilis:(
@sweet phoenix when you stop by PA later this year, mind bringing me some honey Chipotle chicken tenders from chilis
Gotchu
I’ll give you a candle in return
Greasy spoon is a term for a generally cheap diner
even though it’s a several hour detour from your destination
#justsouthernthingsthatnobodyelseunderstands
I thought it was the name of a chain lmao
Nah, it isn't southern
America’s such a big place but moving to a place more suitable to you is really difficult isn’t it unless ur rich or smth or got an opportunity to study and work in a different state
If you are moving you either need to plan out where you are moving to in advance (buying a home, getting an apartment sorted out) or live in your car
And if you don't have a job lined up you need to live off of your saved income. And 60% of the population is living paycheck to paycheck, so... 
It seems lack of a good support system (parents) to help u throughout the time u might be learning skills for employment can really hurt you here doesn’t it…
Or anywhere else in the world
I keep hearing stories of how people “made it” here alone with little to no parental support but i just dont see it as doable ngl
And there’s always a discrepancy in their stories such as a friend who let them crash or live with them when they were studying or learning or a workplace environment that allowed them to do stuff like homework and all
I dont think everyone will be getting lucky breaks like those
Social mobility is practically dead. People born into poverty rarely escape poverty and the rate of those that do is declining with time. Most of the people who made it without support along the way usually had a moment of luck that put them in a good enough position to do it, kept at it for a really really long time and managed to brute force it or are lying 
Or are saying they did it all themselves without realizing all the support they had along the way.
That infuriates me so much for some reason
Yeah, because they are also usually the people saying they did it all by themselves, why are you being a greedy loser asking for a hand out 
To be fair, they still had to make friends with someone and be close enough to live at their place
And even if you were homeless, public libraries could be used for studying, and you could still get showers occasionally, etc.
There is some luck with making friends that could let you live at their house, but it still requires the effort to find and make friends and to be close enough to borrow their place for a while
Maybe in a city that has public institutions like that, rural and suburban America...
Dunno how smn who prolly has a bad home environment could even get themselves to take the step to make friends ngl
You feel so socially inept
With nothing to relate to
the internet
Just envy
which could actually be really dangerous now that I think about it
And even if they do make it out of poverty they could blow all their money from having bad financial knowledge
like with Mike Tyson
he blew $200million and went bankrupt
average PCMR discord user
💀
Or they get socially pressured to spend it all
spends $200 on shoes
blows $550k in life savings on a streamer for her to say “bro”
Or everyone kept egging me on to buy stuff for them and they were my bros, I can't say no to them
how do you end up with these kind of people
You get rich and golddiggers get near you
How do you end up with relatives that come running the moment they heard you won the lottery?
It just happens
Ngl if i won the lotto i prolly would not even stay in contact with my own mother 💀
But i’m so cynical that i would not even but a lotto ticket
If I won the lotto I'd buy a house
Ironically
and then invest the rest of the money
There was somebody who won the lottery but explicitly told them to keep it anonymous to avoid this exact thing 
getting rich doesn't mean staying rich
What the heck
AJ
I WASN'T READY
If I won the lotto I would do what I’ve always wanted to do
Being rich imo is being able to afford a comfortable living with the option for creature comforts and also the nature of things such as not getting harshly punished for small mistakes being told it can be fixed smth like that
being rich to me is just having a lot of money
Whenever i would break smth or make a mistake growing up i would always be made felt that the world was ending 
that's good tho
people these days need more humility
Idk man my parents seem to have been in a similar situation growing up and they have anything but humility
or rather people need to be held accountable for their actions
I don't remember the PC but the 1080Ti I'd carefully clean and reseal and sell for $300+
feel like that it's just a select few that makes things worse for everyone else
and that select few is growing
1080Ti alone for $300+?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
oh brand new inbox
A RELIC
Bro’s world is falling upside down 💀
that can definitely sell for a lot
A COLLECTOR ITEM
i wonder how much a kingpin would fetch
i wonder how much my old PC can fetch
There are in fact untouched KP's and they sell for TONS
👀
Kingpins were specifically overclocked cards made alongside evga right?
Ye
500?
Ye and highly prized
And now the dude behind em is with pny for supposedly the 50 series?
The prebuilt cost $450
W discount
Costs about $440 to make it on its own
oh kingpin is coming back?
Yeah I was thinking around there but treated as new
He's clockin back in
So total, what, $700?
He left EVGA and went straight to PNY
750, 800?
Flashbacks to working in fastfood 💀
Man a salaried job sounds like a pipe dream ngl
Baccas been sending me some nice deals so I might just straight up resell the pc, get myself on am5 again but with a newer card
Sure
Salaried jobs aren't that much better. There are overtime shenanigans that can make you work a lot more for that pay
That means I gotta wait even longer for a pc
Wbt healthcare benefits?
Anyone here wanna buy an am5 build with a brand new 1080ti?
Or being in that upper tax bracket
No esale 
Sometimes benefits are better. But at the same time you run the risk of being pushed to the bone for the pay
Gpus remind me gre sales have been kinda dry haven’t they

Yeah reminds me of that time i worked in a tire shop (state franchise) and the store manager did earn like 100k a year but worked over 70hra per week salaried
She fired me and honestly looking back i think she did me a favor
oh man my friend was building a PC a year ago
for some reason instead of getting a discrete GPU he got this exact integrated CPU because "its about as powerful as a 3060!!!"

and now he's trying to get a 3080. damn.
It is not
I initially worked there hoping i could somehow make enough to move out 
bro stole this emote from the house of balance
The main benefit is a guaranteed amount of money. The biggest problem is you have little to no power over how much you have to work for that pay
The iGPU in that is just I think 1060 3GB level?
actually nevermind, i take it back
he didn't get that specific CPU
he got a ryzen 7 8700g
Actually Carter's cacti


yeah i meant they stole it from the house of balance
I’m just excited for the pc itself
Ngl i kinda wanna see if there’s a deez nuts themed server
Is it slow motion
Hopefully smth not risque
💀 of course you'd want to
@mortal grail what’s the best gpu I could trade that 1080ti for?
it didn't load, dammit
Can I please not play 20Q
With PC parts
Dont worry deez nuts will invite you should they find one
$300+, whatever you can find for that
@mortal grail the free ram is micron
Woo cross country road trip go brrrr
it was free
With what motherboard again
x870e crosshair hero
Not trying to be mean
is this the equivalent of fitness "supplements" in the pc world?
plugging in my hynix now
Nah, ram at least does something even if it is bleh ram
Mean you oughta return and go get a hdv
The hero so far has been heroically disappointing
Shipping with micron ram wtf 
Micron is literally the cheapest worst kits
what do u think of the ram and mobo combo for the 9800x3d from micocenter?
free is free
How much and which board
With a $700 board is an insult
free is free
Why does your name have a snooze icon
$700 for a mobo is an insult in general 
sometimes
Its a silent message apparently
oh yeah im just trying out this feature i found on discord
Does micron even get decent 6000 numbers
typing @silent before a reply message makes it silent
seems to be out of stock but i found a reddit thread with the deets
pretty sure they let u swap out the ram to cl32 16*2 6000mhz as well
no one receives any alerts or anything if you send a silent message, it's pretty nice
didn't think other people could tell if it was silent though
LMFAO
a banana on a white canvas is famous?
someday we'll be that3 rich guys
that's like the Weezer album cover
Ohhhhh
not if u keep buying a cpu every year smh
jk

That's actually decent
if thats ur only hobby ofc
u know ur rich when price dont bother u anymore xD
you know you're rich when you inevitably buy a gold toilet/bathtub just like every other celebrity
Or this on mobile
those name your price kinda people
Both
@mortal grail what do people use now to check for memory stability
ic the b650 one for casual gamers and the x670 one for those who can make use of the extra i/o and lanes correct?
Ye but if you get all the extra stuff for basically nothing it's really good
that works too
shh
i really don't know why this is a feature. everyone just turned off reply pings
hmm which one would u pick?
What is the point of this
tbh both
but i guess this is for the people who don't want to alert anyone that they're posting in a channel, to those who aren't in it
lol
I keep them on
I would like to keep them on
guys I feel tired
because normally when you say stuff in a channel it makes a notification to other people that someone is posting
gold toilet sounds hard to know if its clean xD
when they aren't in

have some of deez nuts to feel energized

F me i forgot to take pics of the cashews i was muching on earlier

👋
gn
We could solve world hunger with the amount of nuts you mention here 
-# We're getting really, really silent now
WHAT?
-# shh you are too loud

What did everyone buy? 
YOU NEED TO TALK LOUDER
nothing
1080ti
take a deep breath... inhale .... inhale ... inhale
thinking of getting hades and metal gear solid 5 tho
Ez work
-# Absolutely nothing because black friday deals suck and i can't really decide
and ds remaster
Carful, his lungs might pop
I bought some air, I got it for free. It was a bit smelly and had a slight chill
@mortal grail whats your 9800x3d sp?
I bought some Mountain Dew a bit ago
air reminds me of smth funny my mom told me once, living in america feels like u gotta pay to breathe
oh boy, what flavor?
Looks like you need a can of fresh air. They sell those
mountain dew duh
China has those 💀
Oh that's right they do
we're getting so effing close to cyberpunk
Soon we'll be in domes
without all the cool technology for the masses tho
Honestly if I had to choose a dystopia I just go all in on Fallout
cyberpunk's world is confusing tho, it seems like the authorities just allow mercenaries to do whatever
just like in real life!
like the gigs the main character does seems illegal
but apparently its totally legal
I'd at least be happy with the knowledge that some weirdo 200 years in the future will worship some random trash that was lying around when we kicked the bucket
It'd be funny
prime bottle
which is prolly why they faced little to no repercussions for destroying a megacorp in three of the endings
-# i haven't finished cyberpunk god damn
We already have that, it is called a PMC and bounty hunters
can i die in a blaze of glory in that occupation?
No but you can kill others in the name of acquiring that glory and get off with no charges
read the summary of this show once and i was depressed for a week
PMCs get hired by government to go be their soldiers off somewhere and look the other way when war crimes and bounty hunters get to do whatever they feel is necessary in the pursuit of a bounty because anything to do with law enforcement usually results in the offending law enforcement officer or similar positioned person getting a not guilty verdict
Plain unfortunately
I want to try thrashed apple
But it’s not available for hours around me
Closest is Kentucky
Nah
Citrus blackberry
what's fresca
Alright Deep
I don't know what this means
probably the boys reference
I've never watched it so 
You should
Not saying this as a mindless Amazon slave
I've got a lot of things on the to do list. I haven't put it on it and I don't think I will tbh
Wack
trying to find the best things. not deals, just things
@nocturne flicker the phrasing for the amount of authority corporations in the world building of cyberpunk is known as “corporate colonialism” is this phrasing used irl as well?
Damn 😭
Corporatocracy or corpocracy is a term some people use for a economic, political and/or judicial system controlled or heavily influenced by corporations or corporate interests
tesla
Oh god. Lmaooo
Did youtube have a UI change where it fits more videos on the homepage now

All that extra spent for mid tier results
HDV owners be laughin
HDV is on sale for like $99 rn
Speaking of which
What is the board
On newegg too
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Dq4Zxr/asrock-b650m-hdvm2-micro-atx-am5-motherboard-b650m-hdvm2
where da rgb
That's on the gene which is discontinued
Man $600 difference you could make that board RGB with all that extra LOL
34 is a bit too tight ye
only 1.35
a-are you sure 
I'm reading off my own AM5 daily settings
One of the things to do before dying
Theo sleeping while waiting for oc to stabilize
how bad of an idea is a cpu overclock on laptop
gaming doesn't use up all cores , right? it shouldn't be THAT hot
i dont know tho
Me when a laptop cpu casually reaches 90+ degrees
thats not the basis of it xD
ill try to measure heat while gaming
dont forget "comes with peripherals too" and they end up buying a monitor keyboard and mouse
It's a little warm in this room.
Can you beat me Theo
I had the WR for a little bit when I submitted that
I forgot the specifics but no I wasn't like "Best overall ever"
Just the single gpu **AMD category iirc
I got more FREEE TRIAAALS
-# from what
Epic games
for nitro?
oh cool another month again
30 days
they do it every year
Yeeeah boi
