[wraith fern]

true but what are you replacing a 4090 with

a 5090 maybe

[velvet summit]

5090 when it comes out

[dusk knot]

Only a 5090

[wraith fern]

seems ambitious considering 50 series aint even out

[velvet summit]

i mean

you aint gonna sell a 4090 in a day

[dusk knot]

Maybe they're in a slump and can't game anymore

[wraith fern]

what a bozo but 1800 is not a bad deal at all for a pc with a $1600 gpu

eh true

[velvet summit]

they might want to sell the 4090 before prices drop

[wraith fern]

true dat

hi, i wanted to ask for help on something but im not sure if this is the right channel

[uncut mulch]

What is the question related to?

CPU? Build? Software?

[wraith fern]

does it run..?

i would assume not but hey ive seen crazier

[uncut mulch]

PC won't turn on

[wraith fern]

well that's not surprising

[uncut mulch]

Not sure what the problem is though yet

[wraith fern]

lmao

[wraith fern]

something probably got shorted

motherboard is where i'd go first

[ashen shuttle]

build i think, building my first pc but got stuck in a step and im not sure what to do

but im asking if this is the correct place, dont want to get banned

[uncut mulch]

#building-and-recc-chat

[pliant berry]

i am always thankful that my cameras dont use cfexpress a cards

[nocturne flicker]

PCIe 3.0. Only 800/700mbps r/w

[pliant berry]

I never understood why they are so much more expensive when the type b cards are cheaper and double the speed

[hoary zodiac]

Is that even enough for a modern camera

In terms of capacity

[pliant berry]

the speed? or capacity? either way it is fine unless you are recording 4k raw

[hoary zodiac]

I usually record at max resolution

So yeah probably 4K raw

[pliant berry]

ye you can prob get about 10-15 minutes or so. though not as many cameras can even record like that in body

[hoary zodiac]

True

I don't even record video with my camera

Sadly I own a decade old DSLR

Video quality isn't the best

[pliant berry]

me too, my main shooters are a d500 and a z6ii. at some point I will replace the d500 with a z6iii or z8

[hoary zodiac]

I'm thinking of upgrading my D7000 to something like that eventually

Or switch to a mirrorless platform if they get cheaper on the used market

Leaning towards DX format still for lens compatibility

[pliant berry]

well you can use dx lenses on fx camera. only you will have to set the crop in the camera

[hoary zodiac]

Ah

[pliant berry]

some mirrorless have been getting cheaper but ya know it takes time

[hoary zodiac]

So it'll work the same as an APS-C

[pliant berry]

ye there is a setting for crop. they keep it as a compatability thing and some cameras lock some features and resolutions to crops

[hoary zodiac]

That's nice

So I could go straight to the most recent DSLR

Do Nikon still make DSLRs?

Or is it all Nikon Z now

[pliant berry]

I thought I heard that they had stopped manufacturing of them. if they do it is probably like d850 and those

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah that's good news for the used market

Good thing about Nikon F mount is the abundance of lenses

[worn wave]

It might be intended for burst shooting but not necessarily video?

[hoary zodiac]

That's fair

[worn wave]

I'm not sure but I do know that some cameras burst mode can overwhelm ordinary SD cards

[pliant berry]

well there aren't many people recording in such high quality settings that it would be a problem. burst mode is more often limited by the cameras buffer rather than the card

(i learned this the hard way)

[mortal grail]

I'll buffer u in a minute

[worn wave]

Oh I thought buffer was in order to work with slower storage

[hoary zodiac]

The slowest part is transferring the photos off the sd card

[pliant berry]

the buffer is always used. when photo is taken it goes straight to buffer first then copies to card after

[hoary zodiac]

Who thought that transferring hundreds-thousands of individual files would be annoying

Still tho

[pliant berry]

you kinda think of it as ram in a pc

[hoary zodiac]

When you get that one picture

[pliant berry]

it is pretty nice

[hoary zodiac]

I always try to do birds

But they're way too unpredictable

So they always come out blurry or well

The target goes completely put pf frame

[worn wave]

Government can't have you getting too many good photos of their drones

[pliant berry]

lmao

[hoary zodiac]

lol

I shot a couple dogs once

[pliant berry]

like 70% of the time i take photos of sports

[mortal grail]

Wow hi I just got here

[hoary zodiac]

Actually came out really nice

I just stood there and wait until the moment they were about to jump into the pool

Actually I'll go find one of those pics

[pliant berry]

talking about this reminded me.. I am still really shocked that ltt still uses standard sd cards for most of their shoots

[hoary zodiac]

I use standard samsung evo sd cards because

D7000

ancient camera

[mortal grail]

BEST CAMERA

DON'T EVEN

THE BEST

The best photography I have ever seen came from d7000 users

Fite me

I WILL DIE ON THIS DAMN HILL

[pliant berry]

yeah but like when you are doing so much writing with the constant video recordings the sd failure rate you get has got to be insane

[hoary zodiac]

here's one

[pliant berry]

yeah he was a real good boy

I can't unsee it now

oh god

[worn wave]

I can't even imagine having 3 working/herding breed dogs

Unless they've got different owners and are just having a pool party

[hoary zodiac]

yeah it was a pool party

[worn wave]

Ah

[hoary zodiac]

sad story behind it tho

It was a going away party for one of the dogs

anyways

forgot what I was talking about

ah yes

[pliant berry]

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-infinity-war-gamora-marvel-what-did-it-cost-gif-17159322

[hoary zodiac]

something about the D7000 and burst shooting

for a 16MP camera it still shoots pretty good photo at above 4K resolutions

although cropping into the picture does make the age of the camera more apparent

[pliant berry]

yeah im not a fan of cropping

[hoary zodiac]

I usually crop away the edges

I don't crop too much into the photo

mostly just to frame the subject properly

[mortal grail]

Don't crop just fix skill issue

[hoary zodiac]

That's the D7000 experience really

You're incentivised to be better rather than blame the gear

[mortal grail]

Yes

[hoary zodiac]

It's never the camera it's always the guy behind the camera

[mortal grail]

Also ai upscaling can genuinely be useful if you desperately need a blow up

[hoary zodiac]

It's an amazing camera when a shot is set up correclty

[hoary zodiac]

oh yeah I use ai upscaling a lot

[mortal grail]

You shouldn't need to use it a lot

Good editing can remove a lot of post-processing issues

[pliant berry]

I have topaz's sharpen ai software for the few times I actually really need to recover a photo or 2

[hoary zodiac]

at least for shots where I didn't have enough range

It's kinda a lens issue

[mortal grail]

Perfect shots are elusive

At the peak of my game about

11 years ago now?

[hoary zodiac]

well it's not a lens issue more a position issue

see I blamed the gear again

💀

[mortal grail]

I would post a shot out of like, 30

Not per scene

Like

30 scenes

Cos I just wouldn't feel satisfied like at all

[hoary zodiac]

yeah most of my photos usually just go into my archive drive

[mortal grail]

I just deleted the extras

Very very few I would end up posting

[hoary zodiac]

I keep all of my photos

[mortal grail]

Not worth lad

[hoary zodiac]

true

[mortal grail]

[hoary zodiac]

I do have a lot of pictures of nothing

[mortal grail]

If you won't like it now you won't like it later

Unless you know how to fix it

[hoary zodiac]

I'll probably keep the mediocre ones I know I can fix with post processing

[mortal grail]

I had a lot like that tho

[pliant berry]

hey that's not so bad. I usually have to pick out around 100 out of the 300-600 per shoot. though I usually only keep 1 or 2 per shoot to add to portfolio or such

[mortal grail]

No you don't get it

Lol

Like 1 out of 30 scenes

I'd do maybe a dozen shots each

Or try to

I had a really high bar for myself

Now? I probably wouldn't do that

[hoary zodiac]

I fiddle with my exposure a lot

I'm a control freak with how my photos look

even though I could just fix a lot of the exposure issues in post

I should probably shoot semi auto but I always fiddle with manual

it's annoying when the scene changes

[mortal grail]

I'm a little wiser now, I know that if I stick to a reference type of gamut of settings I can always fall back to editing if I'm not satisfied

But I used to win comps and everything, I was throwing a lot of decent ones away because it just wasn't enough

[hoary zodiac]

since I'll have to fiddle around the aperature and shutter speed

[mortal grail]

But that's the real thing with the D7K, you just need to be on the ball in the moment

When it works, the photos are stunning

[hoary zodiac]

yeah

[mortal grail]

That camera is excellent for abstract photography

[hoary zodiac]

It still destroys any smartphone

[mortal grail]

Monochromatic stuff also really great

[hoary zodiac]

oh yeah because it's a bit feathery right?

[mortal grail]

The aperture effects are just so crisp

Like you really get a defined edge when you set a scene properly

[pliant berry]

some photos do look better in black and white

[mortal grail]

Especially so on D7K

It's quite a vivid camera ime

[hoary zodiac]

should you do black in white in post or

[hoary zodiac]

also very cheap on the used market

great for entry level

[mortal grail]

Play with how you feel about it

As it is with artistic sense there's no definitive

[hoary zodiac]

true

that's the best part about a DSLR

you can fiddle with it any way you like

[mortal grail]

Yes

I think the only thing about that camera from memory at the time was the auto focus wasn't for everyone

[pliant berry]

only on that one I feel the low light performance isn't the greatest. still can do lots with it

[mortal grail]

But to this day the best photography I ever saw was from that camera

[mortal grail]

A little bit

But like again, really definitive subjects

So you can work around it

[proud jackal]

is 5090 out yet

[icy ore]

yes

[mortal grail]

Yes

[pliant berry]

a lot of photography is just knowing the equipment. when I would do film projects I always liked to sneak in some clips from phones or cheaper cameras and no one would tell since I would play into their strengths

[hoary zodiac]

yeah the low light in my experience gets really grainy

[mortal grail]

Ye old iphones are amazing

[hoary zodiac]

and post processing too

[mortal grail]

Need better lighting equipment lol

[hoary zodiac]

I shot a bunch of photos on a cloudy day

really bad weather

fixed a lot of them by messing around in lightroom

[pliant berry]

ehh, my post processing is mostly just a slight color grade and maybe a straightening in crop but that's most of what I do

[hoary zodiac]

I usually mess around with the greens

mostly toning them down to make other stuff stand out more

[velvet summit]

Microgreens

[hoary zodiac]

I really do micromanage the greens too much

It's kinda an obsession

I crank the vibrance up and then the greens become too flashy

[mortal grail]

Here's some useful advice

Export to an oled device like your phone

Check it there

[hoary zodiac]

oh you know what

that is true

I've been editing on my IPS laptop

colour accuracy isn't exactly a strength

[mortal grail]

If you get too caught up in what looks "right" you can muddle up a whole profile that just generally looks good

[hoary zodiac]

that is actually a really good tip

thanks for that

[mortal grail]

Oled reference is best

[mortal grail]

I was doing this like a decade ago lmao

But the big thing about that, you can compare the greens until they look really close

I've realised going for perfect is pointless

Cos everyone views your work differently

[hoary zodiac]

I usually just tune them to the point where they're not too distracting

but also not washed out

[mortal grail]

Nah I go for accuracy less artistic choice

[hoary zodiac]

my greens are always inaccurate to the original

[mortal grail]

If you're not intentionally trying to be artistic, making it look close to what appears real gets the best response

[mortal grail]

Trust your memory lad

You stared at it for 20 minutes

[hoary zodiac]

oh no I don't mean it in a bad way

It's more artistic liberty than anything

[mortal grail]

Oh you mean like

Surreal

[hoary zodiac]

halfway between that really

depends on the photo

[mortal grail]

Yeah getting into too much semantics lmao

[hoary zodiac]

yeah basically I mess with greens to make it look better

I have no idea what I'm doing I just mess with the vibrance and saturation sliders and then the greens separately

[mortal grail]

I don't often boost colours unless it's as a whole

What I actually often do is a hue shift

It's like a pseudo filter sometimes

[hoary zodiac]

yeah I have an unhealthy obsession with green

[mortal grail]

Individual colours I'd be like, all in on a pic

Spend two days editing

LOL

[pliant berry]

for that i just try not to keep doing the same processing. I always try something different or just plain auto settings. that way when i look back on it i can tell if i was just on crack or not when doing more complex edits

[mortal grail]

That's one way of trying things

I prefer the approach of "If I don't know what I want I just won't try it"

Cos when it comes to learning tricks, I've covered most of it

At least in terms of photography videography

Making something as a full blown fantasy edit though I've never truly dived into

Like if I don't see that vision of like "this is the pic" then I just don't see a spark and lose interest

Doesn't mean I don't look around tho

[hoary zodiac]

same

I should try shooting in a different genre tho

[mortal grail]

Normally when I can see it I'll be spamming the settings until it's what I see in my head

[hoary zodiac]

maybe that'll get me to be more creative

[mortal grail]

Try rather

Instead of a different genre

A completely different approach

So find a new way that's dramatically different in taking pictures of your current interest

My first big one in this field was abstract photography

I took what I liked, and used a completely bs group of settings

Got this blurry mess

Then I played around with it to turn it into something

I ended up with watercolour style pictures

Which is different vs photorealism

Doesn't have to be that

Maybe like, try a whole new angle

[hoary zodiac]

hmm

[mortal grail]

Or a new range

[hoary zodiac]

I might shoot some chickens tomorrow

thinking of shooting them from the ground

[mortal grail]

Yeah there you go

[hoary zodiac]

looking up at them

[mortal grail]

Dutch angle

That's a dutch angle

Lol

its not visibly creased or anything just seems like it needs to flatten out but idk if mousepads are supposed to come like that / the best way to achive it?

[mortal grail]

It's completely normal

Yes, you need to flatten it

[viral heron]

whats the best way to accomplish that? should i just put some books on it and leave it for a few days?

[mortal grail]

Whatever works tbh

Something on top, rotate the part that you use to flatten it, flip it over

No best method it's just whatever

It's very normal to arrive like that tho unless it's glass

Cos glass, well

Doesn't bend

So when does the Stock Buy Back start? They have until may 5th to come into compliance and still have not done or finished their stock buy back program started in 2023 to end by 2025.. I think the CEO did a goat move to push the price down. But it's time to go back up. I think the tax harvesting is almost done. only up from here. We either Reverse split soon, or they do their buy back.

No lol. I’m thinking it's a scam. I haven't been active in applying. But I’m still going to see how much of a scam it is (going through with it, etc.). The Comp Sci job market has been terrible lately so I'd rather be careful with this offer

[mortal grail]

I needa tell you all about a little miracle called melons

[wind quail]

But you need enough vram to render the melons

[craggy shoal]

Pretty sure it's a scam but we'll see

[mortal grail]

The taste

The texture

The freshness

[dawn parcel]

you will care if you try to run a bunch of 4K displays,, but for most,, maybe it would not matter?

[mortal grail]

The supple feel

Nothing beats the perfect melon

And let me tell ya it takes years of dedication to perfect the melon

[wind quail]

Fair enough although real people on LinkedIn etc can reach out, I've had a few of those messages but never accepted

[wind quail]

Felix the closeted melon farmer?

[mortal grail]

The real masters of the art take careful measures to keep the melons perky

No wasted effort

A constant routine

The elite of the elite, with the skin, GLISTENING in the sunlight

[dawn parcel]

lots of the big firms have been cutting their coding staff, Ai taking their jobs. Skynet is real ..

[mortal grail]

On a hot summers day nothing beats a melon

The perfect home away from home break

A refreshing experience for everyone to remember

[craggy shoal]

It makes even less sense that I have an associates in Cybersecurity and nothing else lol

[mortal grail]

But have you ever wondered what the perfect melon truly is?

[dusk knot]

Congratulations. I hope it's stable

[craggy shoal]

[mortal grail]

See there's an art to these things man

https://youtube.com/shorts/EsOZcGl19FU

You never know that perfection in fact lies within the imperfect

All melons are beautiful

And it just goes to show that the natural ones are the most endearing

Everyone talks about the chicken and the new egg but no one talks about the new seed and the melon

Should I start a retail store called new seed?

I should sell fruit and pc parts

[wind quail]

Would fail, tech nerds are afraid of things good for their body /s

[mortal grail]

Nah not if it's melons

Everyone loves melons

Young and old

There's melons for everyone

It'll be a hit I know it

You guys will get it some day

The allure of melons

The greatest blessings from above

That perfect curve is just unbeatable

Guys

Melons

They're just

Ahhh so good

If I was alone at night and someone showed me melons, I'd fall right into their trap

I'd be kidnapped for sure

Guys nothing beats a fest of melons on a cold night am I right

[dusk knot]

Yes

Hahahaha

[mortal grail]

See JP gets it

[dusk knot]

I'm going to buy some today if they're in season

[mortal grail]

[dusk knot]

Yes

[dusk knot]

[mortal grail]

What's that looks like winrar? But what's the u for?

[mortal grail]

A bit like

A good diet yk?

And a good diet starts with

Exercise

[proud jackal]

[mortal grail]

90% exercise and 10% food is what they say

And that 10% is of course

Mostly protein

But we like a balance ofc

It's not always about the protein we also need

Carbs and stuff

Good balance including

Salt

You can have too much but you can't have none amirite jp

[dusk knot]

Right right

[mortal grail]

But we can't forget the side stuff

Treats

Snacks

Like

Pudding is nice

Full of sugar

Just like cake

[dusk knot]

This conversation makes no sense, Felix

🤨

[mortal grail]

Hey I'm just saying

Sugar can be a good reward

But a healthy way to get sugar is with fruits

If you want to be really committed you could try like

[dusk knot]

Mh yes

[mortal grail]

Pears

Apples

Oranges

[dusk knot]

Yes, doctor

i just replaced my ssd and my ram

[elfin mural]

we got 9070 before 5070

[rancid juniper]

didn't think AMD would get this strong

sheesh

[elfin mural]

it's most likely a clevo laptop

or uh

what's that other oem design laptop maker..

but yeah clevo makes that generic laptop

that everyone can buy and rebrand

The glasses professionals finally told my mom that it’s more comfortable to take my glasses off when gaming

[grand kernel]

@mortal grail the problem was tCWL

[fresh timber]

She kept harassing me about not using them with gaming 😭😭

[grand kernel]

new cpu seems incapable of running tCWL 12

I wear my glasses while gaming what's the problem with that

they're blue light filter lenses

[fresh timber]

It puts strain on my eyes and I can’t focus

It’s like a camera failing to auto focus

[grand kernel]

are they meant for long distance

[mortal grail]

Who's long distance and why are they stealing the glasses

[grand kernel]

apparently can't run tWR 12 either

tCWL 14, tWR 14 stable to 8688%

tCWL 12 errors at 488%

tWR 12 errors at 251%

[fresh timber]

I’m near sited

[grand kernel]

guess my 4000 tune is done then

maybe tonight I'll find some time to push for 4133 and beyond

[stuck blade]

only saying that because of the ssd

[proud jackal]

IS IT BETTER AT GAMING

[rancid juniper]

yea

😏

[rough zinc]

Damn thats tough

[lone mango]

I don't believe it

Plus just undervolt if true

[rancid juniper]

hmm i guess

[icy ore]

[lone mango]

mlid was theorizing that this architecture is some botched chiplet thing or something like that

Like maybe it didn't go the way they wanted

[rancid juniper]

aint that rdna 3?

so they didn't fix anything for rdna 4?

[lone mango]

The cores are all on one die

[lone mango]

Its probably like clusters of gpu cores maybe

It looks like they are just releasing this while focusing on the next big thing which would be the next gen if that is true

People were going crazy about rdna 4 raytracing but really they are still behind nvidia

So ima just wait a couple weeks to see reviews

[proud jackal]

[rancid juniper]

same

[rancid juniper]

amd stay winning, intel gotta catch up

[grand kernel]

small sacrifice compared to not being able to run games at stock/jedec

[lone mango]

Like It might be that this is just them releasing whatever they had but the real thing is coming next gen

I don't like it much when they do that tbh

Reason I think that is because of the naming scheme

They went up to 9 so it would make sense to do a reset if true, since there is more talk about udna going around

[rancid juniper]

amd gpu division lost their minds

thats that

[iron lynx]

Guys how well do u think gaming on VR on the snapdragon x elite laptops will do?

[little steppe]

Is there any way to test usb cable latency? I think I need a new cable cause my controller seems to have less input lag on wireless then wired

[elfin mural]

well

if your usb cable is having latency issues

then that cable is busted

[lone mango]

fr

[little steppe]

Is there a way to test it tho

[elfin mural]

don't need to

just buy a new one tbh

they don't cost all that much

[lone mango]

if you notice it when switching then its bad

[elfin mural]

^

[little steppe]

Ik I just wanted to see if I could test the spear ones I got but it fine ig

[elfin mural]

it's because latency isn't a concern with usb

so there's no measurements for it

device latency is the only thing that matters

[little steppe]

Thx

[pastel mist]

Well this is an unfortunate news

Scalpers will get even worst.... 😞😭

[viral heron]

why is 4k polling hz on my mouse absoultely destroying my fps

[dusk knot]

I'll just save up for a 6090 instead

[pastel mist]

Lol it might be the same situation or worst cause of the tarrif

If im understanding this right, the tarrif on them will just increase going forward

[proud jackal]

Higher polling means more reports to PC meaning more CPU usage

[dusk knot]

I didn't save up anything that's why lol

[proud jackal]

Time to save up

[viral heron]

i imagine osu would be like the worst game for this then

[dusk knot]

And win another 5090

[paper verge]

what

i aint no polling master but theres no way polling will actually negatively affect your fps on any decent pc

or anything for that matter

[viral heron]

nah im on 4k polling hz in osu and have 20 fps lol

im on 900 fps on 2khz tho

idk

well if you really think about it, alot and i mean alot of websites do open sneaky tabs, but the affiliate code thing honey does is actually really smart

[elfin mural]

real

it's smarter

[paper verge]

im slowly starting to think every one of my extensions prob does that

[elfin mural]

more sinister lol

it modifies the affiliate code

[paper verge]

some years back i actually read the policies of honey

[elfin mural]

and refuses to give you the best coupons

[paper verge]

it was specified that they actually did see your credit card number

now im tryna think what they would possibly do with that

[elfin mural]

that can't be good..

[paper verge]

backed then i did remove honey

[lone mango]

[paper verge]

i just thought maybe they just scrape whatever they can

[grand kernel]

man I'm happy with this new 13700K

running 5.3ghz prime95 small ffts avx2 stable at only 1.15V

super cool and quiet considering it's prime95

[unreal trail]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1070646304553844736.gif?size=300&quality=lossless

[grand kernel]

almost feels like a generational upgrade over my old 13700k despite being the same chip

cause my old 13700k sucked in comparison lol

[frigid stag]

Degradation?

[grand kernel]

yeah but it was also a worse sample from day 1

prime95 small ffts avx2 would throttle all the way down to 4ghz at 100c

this one doing 5.3ghz at 76c

[frigid stag]

Ah lost the silicon lottery. Though most can at least their single core turbo at all core

[grand kernel]

same cooler, same paste

[frigid stag]

Damn 100c is wild

That’s like defective

[grand kernel]

yeah my old 13700k could do that

it just went crazy with thermals and power draw compared to this one and had very little room to undervolt

[frigid stag]

Might have been feeding higher voltages

[empty tide]

meanwhile I have a 5700x3d. It doesnt need a good cooler

[frigid stag]

You’re lucky you didn’t try delidding

[grand kernel]

I mean heck a $20 air cooler would be enough on this particular 13700k

[frigid stag]

Warranty would’ve disappeared

[grand kernel]

if it's doing mid 70s in prime95

[empty tide]

but i got a deepcool ag620 anyway

cause it was only $20

[grand kernel]

yeah I've never bothered delidding ever since they started soldering

I delidded a bunch of the older chips

with paste TIM

[empty tide]

wait i wasnt paying attention when did they start soldering chips to the ihs?

[grand kernel]

high end 9th gen

[empty tide]

hmm, that'd do it

[grand kernel]

ryzen 1000 I believe was also soldered, not sure about earlier cause let's be honest who was paying attention to pre-ryzen amd

[empty tide]

_> nope, not me
ignore that 860k over there

[frigid stag]

Yeah not many people delid anymore except the top end CPU’s like the KS

[empty tide]

well, for anything except the best of the best or world class overclockers, who would need to delid their cpu?

[grand kernel]

this particular 13700k runs so cool I could probably game on it with the intel stock cooler lmao

[empty tide]

okay orange lets not get carried away

[grand kernel]

unironically

they ship slightly nicer stock coolers with the locked i7s and i9s

capable of sustaining 95w

[empty tide]

are we thinking the same cooler?

[frigid stag]

If I had to run one of the newer i9s I’d probably consider it. They get pretty hot

It’s not that bad but I wouldn’t be comfortable with 100c

[grand kernel]

the taller, copper core intel stock cooler?

[empty tide]

wait i completely forgot they did a redesign

[grand kernel]

not that one

that one is the base one meant for the i3s and i5s

I think that one is still not far behind amd wraith stealth though

the one I'm talking about is probably closer to amd wraith spire level

this chip could absolutely game fine on a 95w power limit

just not heavy multicore loads

ah wait it's i9 only lol I thought they bundled it with the i7 as well

[frigid stag]

Oh it’s real

[empty tide]

huh

i mean, its slightly taller

[frigid stag]

Mine didn’t come with any cooler

[grand kernel]

i7s used to get upgraded stock coolers back in 10th gen

[grand kernel]

it's locked i9s only

[frigid stag]

Ah

Mines unlocked i7 so that’s probably why

[grand kernel]

I think the last time they included stock coolers with unlocked chips was 4th gen
