Honeymoon wore off yet? Lol
solemn lintel
it is, but I just changed the aio and added some fans 💀
hoary zodiac
so that's a W
hoary zodiac
it is, but I just changed the aio and added some fans 💀
I would recommend a frozen prism
hoary zodiac
alright
mortal grail
so that's a W
I mean it'll take a bit for the sound ye
Your ears will be healthier tho
In ear stuff can make your ears quite uh
After many hours a day💀
hoary zodiac
my old headphones are disgusting
mortal grail
Stuffy ☠️
hoary zodiac
I'm still using my iems for going out
I might save up for a pair of closed backs with no bleed
but for the meantime these will do fine
mortal grail
Ah so sound a bit of a miss is it
hoary zodiac
well it's not the sound
mortal grail
👀
hoary zodiac
more the fact that people sitting next to me can hear whatever I'm listening to
mortal grail
Oh that
Fair enough
That doesn't even remotely bother me 💀
I could have the worst garbage spraying from my ears I wouldn't care
Lmfao
Not bothered by what others think anymore
solemn lintel
current pc a little dated
You think ill be able to notice a pretty big difference?
solemn lintel
performance
hoary zodiac
6900XT is alot faster
hoary zodiac
is that the fire case?
mortal grail
solemn lintel
is that my case?
mortal grail
Is it the small one
solemn lintel
yeah
solemn lintel
whats wrong with it
hoary zodiac
you're the luckiest H1 owner
solemn lintel
5 years stong almost
hoary zodiac
mortal grail
whats wrong with it
It's fixable but many won't touch it cos the riser for the gpu is a fire hazard
Like, burn your house down bad
Has a really bad rep
If you replace the riser when you sell it, and specifically state this
You should be fine
mortal grail
It's a cable that plugs into the gpu and motherboard
hoary zodiac
nah
mortal grail
No that's just nzxt
hoary zodiac
the temps are just because nzxt cases are trash at airflow
mortal grail
Nzxt was always ass with temps
hoary zodiac
this is why we don't recommend nzxt cases usually
they cost too much and the performance is hot garbage
solemn lintel
gpu temp is 75 rn running phas
hoary zodiac
literally... hot
mortal grail
Think of the riser xayne as like, a hdmi cable
solemn lintel
easy enough fix?
mortal grail
Well either way, did nzxt ever reach out to you about this?
solemn lintel
maybe I can get a free pc out of them and say I was scammed
hoary zodiac
their entire company is dodgy
solemn lintel
they make some good looking products though
hoary zodiac
yeah that's the only reason they make money
solemn lintel
I remember it being a pain in the ass to build in this case
hoary zodiac
and also why their cases also tend to perform like crap
they put marketability over functionality
solemn lintel
glad I know this now 💀
mortal grail
Anyway let us know once you build the new pc we'll talk stopping the fire hazard in your old one
Cos I think it's best we don't move it until then
solemn lintel
lmao
mortal grail
The solution is a riser cable tho, inexpensive, just annoying
solemn lintel
building the new one over 1k miles away from this pos I have
mortal grail
lmao
I mean we can laugh but your pc case is a genuine fire hazard if you never got informed about the issue
It depends if you have nylon screws (plastic basically) to hold the gpu in place
hoary zodiac
plot twist: It's got a P650B in it
mortal grail
A p650b is a blessing next to the riser
solemn lintel
its been 5 years so I think its fine at this point
mortal grail
Heh
hoary zodiac
yeah it's not
mortal grail
Let's hope
But still replace that riser lad
It can also very much not be safe at all
solemn lintel
I HATE opeing this thing up
solemn lintel
such a pain
mortal grail
That's all good man, leave it unplugged lmao
I am genuinely concerned about the pc but not if it's unplugged
wispy knot
The problem specifically is that the riser cable screw holes are not well made, so when you screw it in, it strips the PCB and causes a short circuit, which in turn causes 🔥
mortal grail
So we can worry about fixing that pc later when you're ready
sage sluice
Itx is for those who believe a lack of suffering is for the weak
hoary zodiac
itx is just inferior micro atx
mortal grail
The problem specifically is that the riser cable screw holes are not well made, ...
And the greater side of this, it's stupid easy to start the fire too
mortal grail
So think of it like a matchstick just waiting to go up
sage sluice
I have the funkiest "mitx" sized matx case in existence
wispy knot
itx is just inferior micro atx
There's SFF cases that can fit full atx mobos
mortal grail
Last thing you'd want is a $700 pc burning lol
hoary zodiac
There's SFF cases that can fit full atx mobos
vertical gpu mount?
mortal grail
vertical gpu mount?
Ridge is one iirc
sage sluice
Last thing you'd want is a $700 pc burning lol
I guarantee you itll cost a lot more than that if it burns the pc
hoary zodiac
ok wow this is nice
mortal grail
I guarantee you itll cost a lot more than that if it burns the pc
Very true

https://ssupd.co/products/cases-meshroom-s-v2
One example
sage sluice
I wish i could use mitx cases without watercooling
sage sluice
That thing needs a bath 😭
hoary zodiac
wait not a H510
mortal grail
You're safe lad sorry
solemn lintel
That thing needs a bath 😭
5 years and its still chuggin
hoary zodiac
yeah it's not a fire hazard
mortal grail
The h1 is the tiny tiny one
hoary zodiac
although it is a hot box
sage sluice
At least show the glass some love 
mortal grail
I forgot the h210 exists mb ☠️
hoary zodiac
so the only risk of it catching on fire is your parts overheating
solemn lintel
thats not out of the question tbh 😭
wispy knot
At least show the glass some love <:peepoSadSip:641081095479361536>
By removing it? That's the only way to get airflow 
solemn lintel
ts is like a heater in my room
hoary zodiac
yeah
that's nzxt for you
their cases are not designed to be cooled
that's why I never recommend them
solemn lintel
theyre designed to be cool 😎
sage sluice
By removing it? That's the only way to get airflow <:kekw:741678350791081994>
The fingerprints 
hoary zodiac
no not really there's better looking cases for cheaper
mortal grail
The problem with their design
sage sluice
Mm we love nzxt
solemn lintel
how does dust get IN the pc 😭
I swear my rooms clean
mortal grail
The specifics being these cases leave no air for the parts to intake
sage sluice
Lian li cases my beloved
hoary zodiac
they all make better cases
mortal grail
how does dust get IN the pc 😭
I swear my rooms clean
Just does
Well since we established the case isn't a fire hazard just a local oven, any more questions about the build xayne?
solemn lintel
nzxt sent me a faulty aio when I was making this thing
sage sluice
Dust is magical cocaine for your pc, no matter how much you try to keep it off the stuff your pc always knows a guy who knows a guy
mortal grail
nzxt sent me a faulty aio when I was making this thing
Ofc they did ☠️
hoary zodiac
of course they did
mortal grail
LOL
hoary zodiac
I think the whole server collectively hates nzxt at this point
sage sluice

no more questions, im pretty happy with this build

All things considered yes
hoary zodiac
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fz4hkf
if you're going 7600 I'd recommend getting a 7500F from aliexpress instead
practically the same in gaming performance but cheaper
mortal grail
Ye solid suggestion if you're willing to use AliExpress
Saves a good chunk more, same performance
solemn lintel
how long the shipping
mortal grail
how long the shipping
2 weeks-ish
solemn lintel
not bad at all
mortal grail
There's a specific two articles we vet so far
solemn lintel
thats for the 7900 XT?
hoary zodiac
?
mortal grail
Nah 7500f
hoary zodiac
yea cpu
mortal grail
Ye
sage sluice
If only 7700x prices were still reasonable 🥹
solemn lintel
you sure I can trust this 😭
hoary zodiac
you sure I can trust this 😭
unlike temu and shein, aliexpress is a legit marketplace
sort by orders and buy the one with the highest number of orders
sage sluice
Legit, definitely not completely safe with a lot of sellers
solemn lintel
any of these look like good deals?
mortal grail
The best choice article gone but szcpu still exists @solemn lintel
This one specifically lad
Many AliExpress articles are scams so we are careful to send exact links
sage sluice
We love links
mortal grail
It's fine for a decent price
solemn lintel
$200
mortal grail
Over a 7500F minimally better tho
$200 not too bad but make sure this is a genuine seller
solemn lintel
SZCPU
mortal grail
Ooo ok
Doesn't sound too bad
If you want to give that little bump for 2 more cores, not bad
solemn lintel
what do cores even add
mortal grail
A little more performance
Long run it'll fair a bit better
But pure value wise it's still worse
solemn lintel
if im going for longevity you think thats still the move?
mortal grail
7700 or even 7800x3d tbh
solemn lintel
7700 not a bad price at all
mortal grail
Those will kick for longer, no guarantee of 5+, but definitively longer
solemn lintel
my 3600x still going
mortal grail
Well if you know what you're doing yeah
Many people just plug and play though so I see it time to time
solemn lintel
192
mortal grail
Oof hold on
mortal grail
Ok no not worth
Also remove everything after ?
On links
Shortens them
So see where it says .html
I had to go double check, no 9600X is still a pass
hoary zodiac
even for a cheaper price?
mortal grail
9000 in general bar X3D is awful tbh
hoary zodiac
damn ryzen 9000 really is crap
mortal grail
Vs 7700 ye
hoary zodiac
what is this? Radeon?
did they hire the engineer who worked on the 6500XT to work on this?
solemn lintel
8500 is significantly cheaper
mortal grail
Idk
hoary zodiac
AMD surely loves making products that performs worse than last gen versions
mortal grail
Completely different cpu type
hoary zodiac
to be fair it is a R5 vs R7 but still
solemn lintel
so do NOT get 8500
mortal grail
Mhm
mortal grail
to be fair it is a R5 vs R7 but still
7500F vs 9600X is a win but still not cheap enough
It's a little too pricey
They're all pretty well meshed amongst each other for performance
7700 looks decent
7500F ultimately best value
hoary zodiac
I'd get 7700 for the cores if you're gonna use this long term
who knows maybe ubisoft is gonna make their games even more unoptmised
and 8c will become the minimum

No RT wasnt what made RDNA1 mid
hoary zodiac
2070 super was a really good card
tranquil pebble
it had worse issues
sweet phoenix
It had a lot of early failure issues iirc
tranquil pebble
One of the most unstable cards I ever had initially
sweet phoenix
Power stability issues as well
hoary zodiac
Well I mean
sweet phoenix
Every generations had their issues
hoary zodiac
That's all radeons pre rdna2 really
tranquil pebble
then on to the 6900 XT which so far has been one of the most stable cards I have had
sweet phoenix
30 series power spikes were a joke
hoary zodiac
The phrase "finewine" only phased out with RX 6000
I think if you were buying a Radeon card during that generation
You should expect driver issues
tranquil pebble
I expected driver issues. What I did not expect was issues that made the card borderline useless at times.
sweet phoenix
Rx 500 series was still filled with driver issues, 5000 series was improved but still not perfect. 6000 series they really made leaps and bounds
And then with 7000 series they stepped up in rt and workstation performance
tranquil pebble
5700 XT was the first time I ever had SEVERE driver issues with Radeon.
sweet phoenix
My partners pc with a 5700xt has been fine, but thats only been two years
tranquil pebble
I am a long time user of Radeon so I know they can have issues.
hoary zodiac
My 5700XT acted up for a few months and then just stopped after a couple driver updates
tranquil pebble
My partners pc with a 5700xt has been fine, but thats only been two years
I got a 5700 XT in like 2020

Older radeons can really be just down to luck
sweet phoenix
I'm putting together a pc tmrw for my friend, 7600x+5700xt
hoary zodiac
It's not an exclusively a RX5000 issue
Polaris and Vega had the same issues
There is a pretty decent chance back then that a radeon cards just wouldn't work
At least that was the consensus back then

The golden rule is to buy a radeon a year after release
tranquil pebble
Radeon cards I got in order: HD 4890, R9 285, R9 Fuyy X, 5700 XT, 6900 XT

Did you get them all during release tho?
tranquil pebble
i dont think so
sweet phoenix
tranquil pebble
even the 5700 XT was not within release year

Radeon drivers were very buggy in the first year

Thanks pcpartpicker

Driver issues phased out in late 2020-early 3021
Might also be the linux open source drivers

xfx raw ii 5700 xt
hoary zodiac
huh
So not an msi
hmm
I guess
That's just the pre-6000 radeon experience
You either get lucky and your card works
Or they just don't work
tranquil pebble
I must have had absurd luck up to 5700 XT then lol
hoary zodiac
I've heard many radeon horror stories
The Radeon driver meme is real
They really could be that bad
Thankfully AMD got their crap together
tranquil pebble
now it seems like Radeon is the way to go for Linux
hoary zodiac
Honestly
Radeon's been more usable on linux for a while
The windows drivers are dogcrap
tranquil pebble
I get ROCm with Radeon Linux driver too, so there is also that
