general-chat

[frigid stag]

Ryzen CPU’s get them. Well they used to

Now they nerfed those too

Wraith stealth was OP

[grand kernel]

the i7-4770K stock cooler was actually good enough for some overclocking

I overclocked a 4770K on its stock cooler

[empty tide]

wasnt the spire better than the stealth?

[grand kernel]

yes

prism > spire > stealth

[frigid stag]

My bad I meant the max

The ryzen 7 one

[empty tide]

i remember getting a spire with my 1600. My dad still uses the prism along with a 5600 in his gaming pc

[grand kernel]

wraith max was never a stock cooler afaik

wraith max was sold separately

[empty tide]

id at least hope the prism is enough for a wattered down 65w chip lol

[grand kernel]

wraith prism was the stock cooler for 3700x/3900x

[empty tide]

well that would explain why i got one with a 2700x

[frigid stag]

I guess 5800x was too hot for them to include any stock cooler

[grand kernel]

there was an older revision wraith prism with 1700x/2700x

not sure about 1800x

[grand kernel]

I mean... yeah

my 5800x would thermal throttle in 0.1 seconds with a 360 aio

[frigid stag]

[grand kernel]

no way they give that a stock cooler

[frigid stag]

And people say am5 has thick ihs LOL

[grand kernel]

even in games I occasionally saw it hit 80s with 360 aio

[empty tide]

5700x3d didnt come with one either. although for an almost-5800x3d for $180 at micro center i guess its worth the cost savings

[frigid stag]

5800x isn’t even that high wattage, it’s like under 200w

[grand kernel]

it wasn't an ihs issue just a heat density issue

[frigid stag]

Maybe high voltages on some

[grand kernel]

8 overclocked cores sitting in one tiny tiny part of the die

[frigid stag]

I mean the 5700x and 7700x have the same design

Same 8 core ccx

[grand kernel]

yeah but power per core is lower

you could really tell it was a heat density issue on the 5800x

like i mentioned my 5800x would hit thermal throttle in 0.1 sec on my 360mm aio right

[frigid stag]

I wonder if it’s fixable if you undervolt it

[grand kernel]

but there was legit 0 difference between 30% fan speed and 100% fan speed

the radiator itself was cold

[frigid stag]

Yeah that’s strange

[grand kernel]

the cold plate just couldn't transfer heat out of the IHS fast enough

[frigid stag]

Was it just in all core benchmarks

Or just gaming

[grand kernel]

yeah prime95

[frigid stag]

Ah

[grand kernel]

day to day it didn't thermal throttle

but it probably would on a lower end air cooler

[grand kernel]

yes

i had PBO on so i was pushing like

18 watts per core?

[frigid stag]

I can’t even imagine how hot the 5800x3d would be or the 5950x

[grand kernel]

5800x3d and 5950x were easier to cool

5800x3d was running way lower frequency bc the 3d cache makes cooling harder

and also tended to be able to take a really hefty undervolt easily due to the lower freq target

5950x had higher wattage than the 5800x but lower W/core

[frigid stag]

Ah

[grand kernel]

the heat was spread out over a wider area

5800x was the hardest chip to cool in all of am4

by far

[frigid stag]

Yeah iirc it was also slightly slower than 5900x for games cause of lower clocks

The 5950x

[grand kernel]

also, am5 has thick ihs directly because of am4

[empty tide]

cooler compatability right?

[grand kernel]

am5 dies are thinner than am4 dies but they wanted to maintain cooler compatibility so they had to make the ihs thicker

yeah

[frigid stag]

I thought it was for cooler compatibility

Ah

[grand kernel]

it's a good move, people are just too afraid of seeing temps in the 80s/90s

[empty tide]

lol use a gaming laptop for 2 minutes

[frigid stag]

Only cpu I would 100% delid

[grand kernel]

i laugh when someone is freaking out about their laptop "overheating" (70c)

meh delidding is still useless on am5 for day to day use

[empty tide]

youll get mighty use to redlining your pc temps just by opening excel

[grand kernel]

only worth if you're benching

you won't notice single digit % perf increase outside of benchmarks

[north crescent]

Aaaaaa, my lapotp overheating! It's at 10c and Im scared

[grand kernel]

heck once you get high enough performance it gets hard to tell even larger perf differences

i only oc for fun these days

[grand kernel]

bro is gaming in siberia

guys is it ok if my laptop is at -40C?

[empty tide]

someone i talked to in college: "my laptop is so hot it could boil water!"
me: "then do it"

[north crescent]

Yeah, barely any absolute frametime differences at a certain point

[grand kernel]

i took it to the local yakutsk cs2 tournament and i was worried about it overheating

dude i don't think i can tell the difference between 120 and 240 without an fps counter

[frigid stag]

Tbh some of the coolers are so annoying. They took off lga1200 compatibility on the lf3 even though it’s newer than am4

[grand kernel]

and i hit some very high ranks in competitive games

so i'm not just a blind boomer lol

[north crescent]

That's what they all say, you blind boomer

[grand kernel]

i mean that's intel's fault really

[frigid stag]

How come

Wait it’s newer than I thought the newest CPU’s for it are from 2021. They had no reason to get rid of it 😭

[grand kernel]

amd keeping cooler compatibility from am3+ through am5 makes it very easy to keep supporting

[worn wave]

I can tell the difference between 120 and 165. Then again 120 already feels really good. I'd rather play at 120 with really consistent frametimes than 165 with bad 1% lows

[frigid stag]

Meanwhile noctua and other brands just send you a bracket for whatever

[rancid juniper]

ok, finally something new

[grand kernel]

if they want to keep lga1200 compatibility with new coolers they need to keep manufacturing a whole different bracket

[north crescent]

Kinda only heard people being able to tell in like flick shots and stuff, and kinda only side be side as well. Not surprising

[frigid stag]

If other brands can do it for intel from like 1st gen to 14th gen it can’t be that hard

[grand kernel]

have to eat tooling costs to have that extra part

plus material costs of course

[worn wave]

Dredge hadn't been given away before pretty sure

[rancid juniper]

don't know what that is lol

[worn wave]

Bruh

[grand kernel]

drives up the cost of the cooler for a pretty niche market, how many people are buying brand new coolers for 11th gen cpus?

[worn wave]

Posted in tech deals

Great game

[frigid stag]

Though it has other issues too. Like mounting it feels like you’re breaking your motherboard pcb according to some people

[grand kernel]

if they are trying to compete aggressively on value then cutting out lga1200 support is a valid play

[frigid stag]

Yeah I guess am4 is more common

[grand kernel]

i mean it costs $0 to support am4 for your cooler

but it costs money to support lga1200

that's all it boils down to

[frigid stag]

Still kinda weird to drop a 1 year old platform at the time

But I guess it’s cheaper for them

[rancid juniper]

been like that for ages with intel

people just stuck with it

[grand kernel]

noctua charges huge price premiums compared to arctic so they can afford that

[north crescent]

Eh, most people still do an entire new PC on every upgrade afaik, so I imagine a fair bit

[grand kernel]

how many people are buying 11th gen though

[frigid stag]

Am4 CPU’s are still selling hard, 5600x’s are best sellers

And 5500s, 3600s etc

[north crescent]

I assumed you meant when it came out

[grand kernel]

and how many of those people are buying brand new parts for their 11th gen rig

[frigid stag]

Lf3 came out like 1 year ago or 2 idk

[grand kernel]

11th gen isn't that bad of an option but if I'm going budget used 11th gen rig I'm gonna go budget used cooler too

not an lf3

[frigid stag]

They’re pretty cheap here like 70 for a 360 aio

[nocturne flicker]

I put a LF2 on a 4790k

[grand kernel]

that's a lot considering the budget of someone settling on 11th gen rn

[frigid stag]

Ok it’s more like 80 to 90

[grand kernel]

i did a $600 am4/3070 build back in 2021

[frigid stag]

That was more than the whole gpu

[grand kernel]

nowadays an 11th gen build is gonna be what $500 budget max?

maybe less

spending $70 on an aio is kind of absurd in that kind of budget

but the reason why i say it's intel's fault is because it probably would not have been difficult for them to maintain cooler compatibility if they wanted to

[nocturne flicker]

Spent nearly as much money on the LF2 as I did the CPU and MB for the 4790k build

[grand kernel]

there were boards early in lga1700 lifecycle that actually had mounting holes for both lga1200 and lga1700

so you could put lga1200 coolers on 12th gen

[frigid stag]

[north crescent]

Intel going to Intel. Hopefully they'll learn from AMD soon™️

[rancid juniper]

cpu wise, gpu don't

[grand kernel]

radeon really out here limping along on 3 legs

[rancid juniper]

i really do like their gpus but something tells me it could've been done BETTER

but amd wants to fumble

[grand kernel]

dude why does my igpu need 3 startup items btw

[rancid juniper]

igpu can do fine with only graphics command, the other two can be deleted

[grand kernel]

i have them all disabled and my igpu still doing fine

[rancid juniper]

ok

is it overclocked tho?

[grand kernel]

no

[rough zinc]

What did Radeon do this time?

[rancid juniper]

😔

[grand kernel]

i dont need to oc it all i want it to do is drive my discord monitor

[rancid juniper]

but what about making the most out of your pc?

[mortal grail]

You need to be able to share all your desktop to facebook

[rancid juniper]

^so true

[mortal grail]

And send feedback to intel immediately

[frigid stag]

The 9070xt

[rancid juniper]

RX 9080 XT

FASTEST GPU ON THE BLOCK

[frigid stag]

People either love it or hate it

[grand kernel]

the leaks about the 9070xt so far are not very promising

it's not exactly bad but it's just...

uninteresting

[rancid juniper]

looks like a good upgrade over my 13600k (not dumb)

[grand kernel]

lol yeah it kinda feels like intel 14th gen

[rancid juniper]

-IGN

[rough zinc]

Ahh

4090 stay winning lol

[grand kernel]

rumored similar performance to the 7900xt for similar power target or something

like... ok

hope they plan to compete on price then

[rancid juniper]

nvidia still making dumb moves for any gpu thats not a xx90

[heady nacelle]

Ello

[grand kernel]

did yall see the leaked 5090 pcb

holy crap

[rancid juniper]

its fat

[grand kernel]

and thats only the reference design

[rancid juniper]

die is massive

so its a dang powerhouse

[rough zinc]

I want it

[rancid juniper]

a brickhouse

literally

[grand kernel]

9070xt will definitely be a massive exciting success if they release it at the right price

but amd's track record with that hasn't been the best

[heady nacelle]

Im new with pc's and im gonna build my very own pc

[rough zinc]

Imma probably skip to the 6090 tho

[rancid juniper]

watch it be $600-700

i hope im wrong

really wrong

[heady nacelle]

I think i found all the parts but i dont know if they fit the chassi i choosed, how do i know they will fit?

[rancid juniper]

mmm pcpartpicker will show you all dimensions

anything can fit in an ATX and M-ATX cases

🤔

[heady nacelle]

A link?

[rough zinc]

Make pcpartpicker list and send

[rancid juniper]

whats the parts? you gotta list em

[heady nacelle]

How? I dont know😅

Ok on it

[sour falcon]

Do I sacrifice whatever I have on my 1TB SSD and just start over

Or just use the 2tb SSD in my other pc (it’ll never get used but I’ll let my gf use it)

[proud jackal]

Yes

[lone mango]

Techtubers crap on the price because it simply is not competitive enough to bother buying it and then the price drops a lot after a year of people not caring to buy it, which should have been the launch price to begin with

This is an amd moment

[lone mango]

I saw this was on sale on steam and considered buying it

But it at 80% rn on ebigames

[rancid juniper]

nice

[heady nacelle]

my budget is around 700 dollars ish, should i have water cooler or just a regular?

[sour falcon]

🗿

[sour falcon]

Is control gone already

[rancid juniper]

regular is fine, for convenience sake

[sour falcon]

I thought I saw somewhere that control was the Christmas reward

[rancid juniper]

ya lol

[sour falcon]

Or free game on Christmas any-

DANG IT

BLAST IT

[lone mango]

Aint that game just a rtx tech showcase

[random osprey]

[heady nacelle]

i have two motherboard to choose between, msi B550 gaming gen3 or asus PRIME B550M-A wifi II

witch of them is average the best? i see no real difference, the price is the same

[lone mango]

It seems that the prime would be better but it is a smaller board if you are ok with that

the prime has 2 m.2 slots while the msi has one

[rancid juniper]

asus

[lone mango]

The prime also has more vrms

[heady nacelle]

ok

[lone mango]

[hoary zodiac]

Are those the only 2 options?

[heady nacelle]

for my budget yea, or thats the max prise i can spend on it i think

[rough zinc]

Send the partpicker list

[heady nacelle]

my budget is around 700 dollars

[heady nacelle]

im making it rn

[hoary zodiac]

Oh it is the cheapest board

Yeah MSI one is better

Never buy asus prime

They're almost always overpriced

[heady nacelle]

one say asus one say MSI

hmmmm

🥲

[lone mango]

It is the same price as the msi but has more vrm and m.2

[tranquil pebble]

Just ordered a 7800x3d and 96 GB of 5600 MHz DDR5. The CPU might be temporary, or not... just depends on how supplies go and if I actually need anything more.

[hoary zodiac]

I can assure you the msi one is better

[heady nacelle]

ok

[hoary zodiac]

Prime boards are made to be cheap

Are you using the pc for primarily gaming?

[heady nacelle]

what is CAS latency?

[lone mango]

Well here is a matx msi board that is $10 more
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/PDsnTW/msi-b550m-pro-vdh-wifi-micro-atx-am4-motherboard-b550m-pro-vdh-wifi

[wraith fern]

hey so random question

[hoary zodiac]

Not my best work but it's an option

[wraith fern]

which core is the best to monitor for a gauge of cpu temps

preferable a p core (it's an intel 12700k)

[heady nacelle]

okok, i wanna see the difference between my own one and ya guys choosing

[hoary zodiac]

sure

[hoary zodiac]

The hell?

[sweet phoenix]

with a $700 budget id probably go for neither

[hoary zodiac]

7700XT at 6750XT price range?

[rancid juniper]

yea its wack

[sweet phoenix]

is this a gaming build?

[heady nacelle]

yea

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah

It's really not that optimal tbh

Probably shouldn't have put the 5700 in there

Bacca list incoming

[sour falcon]

okok

ill look it up and probably buy the 5500x then

You might need to update bios

But that isn't too difficult

If you want to avoid it get a b550, that's up to you

[heady nacelle]

What is that

[sweet phoenix]

This was the other option I linked

[sweet phoenix]

Bios update? It's the software the motherboard runs on

[heady nacelle]

Ahh

[sweet phoenix]

You'd need a flash drive, and there's a tutorial on the motherboard manufactures website, and likely a YouTube tutorial

You do need to use a laptop/pc to install something on the flash drive tho

[heady nacelle]

Hmm ok

[sweet phoenix]

If you get a newer mobo, a b550 you won't run into that issue

[heady nacelle]

What is a mobo?

[sweet phoenix]

Motherboard

Sorry

[heady nacelle]

Im new in this so i dont know anything sort off

[heady nacelle]

Ahh

How much more can it cost?

[sweet phoenix]

Are you planning to use wifi or ethernet?

[heady nacelle]

Idk, cable???

[sweet phoenix]

Like from your router to the pc?

[heady nacelle]

Yea i guess, but im using a cable to connect

More stable internet

[sweet phoenix]

Yeah thats ethernet, better than internet

[heady nacelle]

Whats the difference

DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) Guide by Pato

[sweet phoenix]

@empty rain

Both of those

[empty rain]

Is it to fully uninstall graphics driver and the newly install it?

[empty rain]

Since i wiped c drive fully and fresh installed Windows then is there a point to do this?

Now it just froze without me touching the pc at all

[proud jackal]

Ram isn't set to xmp right

[empty rain]

No, i tried both but always the same result

This time actually it unfroze itself for the first time but i lost desktop, everything was black and barely anything was functioning, this time it actually felt like something to do with the graphics driver or something similar

[proud jackal]

[empty rain]

i got AMD, so do i still do it using this link?

[worn wave]

(works for AMD and Intel)

[empty rain]

but it says "This guide only applies to systems with Intel® Desktop Boxed Processers."

[worn wave]

The DynEgg message would've been written by techies/mods so I'd trust that

[elfin mural]

clearing bios is no different across all boards from any platforms

[sweet phoenix]

^

[proud jackal]

Never trust the techies

[empty rain]

techies are my only hope right now

[elfin mural]

another 24h2 build of win 11 broke stuff again

im NOT updating to that yet

[north crescent]

Techies always stab you in the back, and sometimes front. Also sides, occasionally top

[empty rain]

haha

[north crescent]

It is a guide officially by Intel and they just want legal stuff to not risk being sued for setting someones baby on fire cuz someone used a blowtorch to reset BIOS on an AMD board, and such. Nothing you have to worry about, as said earlier resetting BIOS is the same on both companies.

[heavy dew]

Who can help me with diskpart in cmd

[topaz crown]

Hello @heavy dew! It appears that you're asking for help. Please ask again in the appropriate category so you can get faster help from people specializing in that field. Your question may not be answered here.

[uncut mulch]

Uhhhhhhhhhh

I just pulled out CPU with the lock closed

[tranquil pebble]

yikes

nothing good can come of that

[uncut mulch]

The pins seem to be straight

I should have known better than to use Corsair thermal paste

[tranquil pebble]

good news is other people have done this and were fine though

curse hair

[worn wave]

Nah just gotta heat it up before removing

[heavy dew]

Including me

Anyways how do you format a hard drive that’s corrupted and the corrupted hard drive won’t let you erase it

[rough zinc]

Yeah that's expected for PGA sockets

[tranquil pebble]

Try disk manager, explorer is likely to not work

[heavy dew]

That’s the problem, the computer doesn’t want to access the drive, like the hard drive keeps popping up on windows explorer and then the connection drops or whatever

I’m in disk part and it’s taking mad while to bring it up bc this hard drive is plugged in

[tranquil pebble]

Well you will have to get it to stay connected to do anything safely

[wraith fern]

Remove it while on

[tranquil pebble]

nah just twist a bit to loosen it up before pulling

[heavy dew]

Nothing is damaged like my cables are fine, it’s the corrupted hard drive that’s keeps doing jt

I’m in power shell admin and the NTFS boot sector is corrupted

So I want to wipe the drive but it’s not working with command prompt admin because the drive keeps trying to open something or idk how to explain it

[uncut mulch]

What's the best way to separate those lol

Nvm

[velvet summit]

Twist

[uncut mulch]

Yeah

Thank you

[heavy dew]

Help me I got a corrupted hard drive I need to erase but windows won’t let me

[topaz crown]

Hello @heavy dew! It appears that you're asking for help. Please ask again in the appropriate category so you can get faster help from people specializing in that field. Your question may not be answered here.

[velvet summit]

Also yeah a common issue with PGA sockets

[heavy dew]

Well I got the drive in power shell but idk what to do in power shell

[velvet summit]

Use fdisk I think it was

[heavy dew]

Didn’t work

Also I’m trying to clean it with command prompt admin but every time I select the disc then I type clean it says no disk is selected

[velvet summit]

Diskpart is the command

My bad

Fdisk was a Linux command lol

[heavy dew]

Lmao

But yeah this hard drive is corrupted in a way where it’s trying to open either drive e or f and there’s nothing in the e drive and it can’t access the f drive

[velvet summit]

after getting into diskpart, do list disk

[heavy dew]

Okay it’s loading

[velvet summit]

and then select disk <number> for the disk

[heavy dew]

Ik the disk is disk 2, the problem is every time I selected it with cmd, I hit clean and then it said disk isn’t selected

Hopefully I don’t have that problem with power shell

Bruh the drive is so corrupted that it’s taking my computer ages to select the damn drive

[heavy dew]

What’s the command after that

[velvet summit]

try format first uhhh lemme check what the full command you'd want first

[heavy dew]

Hopefully it keeps the drive selected instead of just not selecting the drive

[velvet summit]

format fs=ntfs override

hmm

[heavy dew]

BRO it still hasn’t selected 😂😭😭😭

I seriously dk what’s on this drive

[velvet summit]

oh right you need to select the partition i guess

do list partition

[heavy dew]

In still waiting for it to select the drive

[velvet summit]

hmm

it shouldnt have to wait

[heavy dew]

But yeah the drive just keeps like disconnecting and reconnecting to the computer on its own, but I guess it’s just my computer trying to read it and every time it tries to read it quits and retries

[heavy dew]

Yeah that’s how bad the corrupted drive is

[velvet summit]

the drive might just be dying if it keeps randomly disconnecting

could be the cause of the drive corruption

[heavy dew]

Really? I didn’t think of that

I mean my computer still trying to select it

But this is the error I got the first time with the drive or at least it read the drive the first time

I tried seeing the drive health on crystal disk but damn never pooped up on it

[fresh nova]

6-year old card

[uncut mulch]

Ok, looks like it's just the PSU that is dead

[dusk knot]

NVIDIA

[craggy shoal]

Making a GPU last for six years is nuts

[tranquil pebble]

nGreedia

[worn wave]

$700 MSRP, inflation adjusted is $900

[dusk knot]

We’re still going to buy their GPUs. Kek

[worn wave]

Also I'm pretty sure 4060 outperforms a 1080ti overall, that bench might be one where the 1080ti does better than usual

Not trying to defend how terrible the 4060 is but I dislike people circlejerking over old GPUs without taking MSRP and inflation into account

[dusk knot]

Hmm

Good point

[fresh nova]

I expect NVIDIA to make a modern card beat a 6 year old GPU.

50 series is a joke

[velvet summit]

i mean

[fresh nova]

Intel ftw this year.

[velvet summit]

comparing the 2nd lowest end card to the 2nd highest end card (of 6 years ago) is technically an unfair comparison, because the 4060 would absolutely blow the 1060 out of the water

not that a 4060 is a great value, but yeah

interesting

adjusted for inflation, the 4060 is actually cheaper than the 1060 at launch

by like 10 bucks

[random osprey]

thats some chicken nuggets from mcdonalds right there

[proud jackal]

INTEL WILL RISEEEE FROM THE ASHES

[random osprey]

rise from the ashes as a failure of cpus to only reign as the king of gpus

only for nvidia to take over the cpu market

[dusk knot]

NgreedAI™️ will replace intel

[proud jackal]

All will bow before intel

[dusk knot]

Sure sure

[velvet summit]

launch msrps (adjusted for inflation):
1060 vs 4060 - $5 cheaper
1070 vs 4070 - $100 more expensive
1070 ti vs 4070 ti - $180 more expensive
1080 vs 4080 - $350 more expensive
titan vs 4090 - $60 cheaper

[random osprey]

but what the performance like per $

is the price justified

[velvet summit]

the ones that are cheaper definitely

at least when you're just comparing them side by side

and ignoring all the other competition

like, 4060 may be cheaper than a 1060 was 6 years ago but i still wouldnt buy it lmao

[frigid stag]

It’s even worse when you compare the 4080 vs the 3080

4060 is just a 4050 renamed

[tranquil pebble]

7900 XTX be like Godzilla of perf per dollar

[rough zinc]

Mmm 4090 good

[dusk knot]

Not the price

[tranquil pebble]

sub 2k 4090 would be good, but otherwise nah

ebayers out of their mind thinking its worth 4k

[velvet summit]

alot of crap is more expensive on ebay for whatever reason

some sellers were trying to sell used vr headsets for higher than msrp even though there was no shortage

and people were still buying them???

genuinely no clue why or who or how

[tranquil pebble]

ebay has become a cesspit

[velvet summit]

but somehow some headsets that were still in stock for a lower price that was brand new was being ignored in favour of used more expensive from ebay headsets

crazy

[lone mango]

Yeah am4 moment

Gotta twist the cooler left and right to break some of the grip it has on the cpu

[empty rain]

Hi Bacca i did both as you said but I'm still having the same issue. sometimes i don't even alt tab or even though keyboard & mouse when path of exile 2 is loading but the pc will stop the game from loading, freeze up the loading plus everything expect the mouse pointer and the pointer becomes extremely laggy (pointer will be the only thing that works and nothing else, not even alt F4 or alt+ctrl+del). @fair marsh

[elfin mural]

tbh i never trusted honey

not like i had a reason to use it

[sinful blade]

I tried it briefly(2 weeks on my phone) and it saved me $0 across a dozen websites

Uninstalled it

[rancid juniper]

it never worked for me so i uninstalled it ages ago

[fresh timber]

I stacked computers

[dusk knot]

[unreal chasm]

100% gpu bound lmao guys think its time for a gpu upgrade?

[dusk knot]

94 fps

I would say no

But this is an older game

100 percent is good

[unreal chasm]

From what I was understanding you want the number to be as close to 0 as possible?

[sinful blade]

Gimme your old one, I have crackers in exchange

[unreal chasm]

what kind of crackers🤔

[sinful blade]

https://tenor.com/view/easy-plus-foodie-delicious-homemade-foodiegram-gif-22909199

What kind you want bbg

[unreal chasm]

[sinful blade]

https://tenor.com/view/resident-evil-merchant-what-are-gif-25112197

[lone mango]

Computer fiend

[sinful blade]

I’ll sell my feet pics for pc parts at this point

Who wants a pic of these wheels

[fair onyx]

Eeee, I made my first LTT store purchase. I feel like a real adult lmao

[dusk knot]

What was it

[fair onyx]

I got the new commuter backpack cause for $120 its an insanely good deal. And I also go their Track hoodie, cause its 50% off and they have it in my size

I have a Lowepro camera bag that I have used as my every day carry for years, cause it has a decently spacious interior for how small it is, so I can usually put in a few electronics, my meds and stuff, and a few changes of clothes for short travel. But now I have a laptop I need for work and it can't hold it

I have a great little laptop bag that I love, but I have a shoulder condition that makes carrying things on my shoulder hurt a ton. So the commuter backpack can hold all my tech and my laptop like the laptop bag, but still has that huge front area for multiple changes of clothes. Its perfect TBH

And I mean, I haven't heard a single person say LTT has made a bag product, so I trust them

the commuter backpack has so many fantastic features, and for only $120, its just flat out a steal IMO

[craggy shoal]

Not at all. At that point you're having a CPU bottleneck

[unreal chasm]

really?

also

when I picked the 5900x it was on sale

should I have gone with a "faster" 8 core

[craggy shoal]

Just go watch a bottleneck explanation video

[hoary zodiac]

Bottleneck is different from case to case

[misty sparrow]

Faster? I hardly know her

[dusk knot]

Good selection. I would have bought their bottles too

[pliant berry]

it does look like a nice backpack

would get if i needed another backpack

[hoary zodiac]

Is it that good?

[fair onyx]

I really wanted to, but they are all out of stock 😭

The commuter backpack is just exactly what I want, and that price is kickass

[fresh timber]

Me with my $50 backpack, chaching

[fair onyx]

I have a hydroflask that I need to fix up with a new lid and then it should be just as good honestly

[gloomy finch]

new egg

[pliant berry]

nice straps, padding, pockets. design reminds of some of the bags peakdesign has but at like half the cost

[fair onyx]

Hey, I have a $50 lowepro backpack, and its been the best backpack I have ever owned. I love that damn thing. the commuter bag is just more of what I need

[fair onyx]

Its got a ton of features, and it seems to be built like a tank for just $120 right now

some of the things they highlight:

[fresh timber]

Professional backpack

[fair onyx]

I liked what I heard about the original LTT backpack, but I just knew that it was both too big and too expensive for me. But the commuter seems perfect honestly. Its so much more compact, can still hold my laptop, and cuts a lot of the frills I didn't need for stuff I wanted

The two huge water bottle holders on the sides are dope, especially cause they are also nice and big hidden pockets if you don't need them

[hoary zodiac]

Compartments?

Now I'm interested

[fair onyx]

tonsss of them

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2S31JPMWMY@hoary zodiac

Have a watch, its short and to the point, and it kicks ass

[hoary zodiac]

I'm looking for a lightweight and rugged uni carry backpack

[fair onyx]

I immediately bought one

[fair onyx]

10/10 this would be perfect for it

[hoary zodiac]

Something that can also safely store a DSLR

Just in case I wanna carry one around

[fair onyx]

this one has a huge storing compartment in the front that can do just that. Also one of the reasons I wanted it. I cary around a huge DSLR in my lowepro

plenttyyy of room for a DSLR

[hoary zodiac]

How's the build quality?

OH MY GOD

That's compartment paradise

[pliant berry]

in the past I have carried 2 cameras and lenses in my bag. only problem was it would absolutely destroy my back after a few hours

[hoary zodiac]

There's enough compartment for a graphics calculator, a couple laptops

And notebooks

[fair onyx]

extremely good. Double riveted carrying handle, riveted straps, double layered double thick bottom so you can wear through the first layer and still have a second. Custom YKK zippers that are water resistant

[hoary zodiac]

That is actually a really well designed backpack for a tech carry

[fair onyx]

absolutely. I saw it and immediately went "I need this, this solves my problem and its not outlandishly expensive"

it has tons of hidden pockets as well

RFID blocking, air tag hidden pocket

[hoary zodiac]

It's kinda expensive for me but it is really well designed so I'd buy it if I have the money tbh

At least well designed for my use case

[fair onyx]

the tablet sleeves has microswede to wipe off your screen when you put it in. The laptop/tablet portion is floating so if you drop the bag, it doesn't hit the ground

[worn wave]

North Face Recon doesn't have quite as many compartments but I've been using it for a few years now as an everyday bag / dayhike bag / overnight trip bag / college class bag and it's awesome

[hoary zodiac]

Honestly it's nice that LTT makes practical merch

Their screwdrivers are also pretty good I heard

[fair onyx]

Yeah, really practical at that. I know a lot of people with different LTT stuff, and they all love it. I have never heard bad really

[worn wave]

Peak Design also makes crazy good bags but they can be pretty expensive. The NF Recon was like $100 when I bought it

[hoary zodiac]

Tech merch is great honestly

LTT merch + GN mod mat

Dream setup

[pliant berry]

i did get a screwdriver when they did the black friday sale. very nice as expected, i love how easy the rachet is

[fair onyx]

It has metal adjusters, metal zippers, a metal key holder. Sunglass pocket, foam arm and back support. A tight luggae strap

[pliant berry]

yeah most of their backpacks are like 200-400usd

[fair onyx]

I really love how the huge water bottle holders on both sides are also pockets if you don't need to carry water bottles

[hoary zodiac]

I'm looking for sub-100 AUD mostly

But I might allocate extra budget if I can't find anything good

[worn wave]

I have their 45L travel backpack and omg 😍 but yeah it was like $280 on sale

[hoary zodiac]

How's the durability on these things?

Padding on the bottom?

[fair onyx]

you can see it here, its a zipper

[fair onyx]

They have two layers of double thick material. Extremely durable

[hoary zodiac]

Hmm so I could plop it on the table and my laptop won't scratch?

[pliant berry]

a nice bag can last pretty long time. I have some that are 15+ years old and I still use them often today

[hoary zodiac]

Not super hard just

[fair onyx]

have a look at this

the laptop part is floating

So even if you slam it on a table, it doesn't hit it

[worn wave]

Highly recommend stretching to ~160aud/100usd

[hoary zodiac]

Is that orange part ALL padding?

[fair onyx]

@hoary zodiacI highly recommend you watch the video. Its only 7 minutes long (only like 5:30 of content, and it shows you tons of stuff)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2S31JPMWMY

[misty sparrow]

I wish they included more screwdriver tips though

[unreal chasm]

Question I have 2x16gb g.skill ripjaw 3600Mhz ram in my pc, I want to switch to 4x8GB Triden Z RGB 3600MHz (ONLY DOING FOR LOOKS) am I looking at a major performance hit from going with 4 sticks?

[misty sparrow]

you can buy the rest separately but still

[mortal grail]

Nah screw||driver|| that

[rough zinc]

get another 2x16 kit

[mortal grail]

This is an impressive waste

[hoary zodiac]

Oh wow it's really nice

Tho I'll have to get some foam padding if I want to put my DSLR in it

Still tho

[worn wave]

For a slightly cheaper option:
https://youtu.be/z2SCg8ECDcI?si=FeYR_pTMknc99V3L
still has a padded and floating laptop compartment, but less little compartments

[unreal chasm]

lol

[hoary zodiac]

Honestly I'm considering it at this point

[fair onyx]

thats hould be super easy honestly. For mine in my lowepro bag, I just put a shirt at the bottom lmao

[hoary zodiac]

For regular carry this is actually perfect for me

[rough zinc]

Just like me!

[fair onyx]

its $30 off right now if you order from their youtube video

[hoary zodiac]

Really?

Do they ship to Australia?

[unreal chasm]

I want to add some color to my pc it is all blacked out except the gpu rgb and very little mobo rgb

[fair onyx]

They should

let me check

@hoary zodiacWhat region?

[hoary zodiac]

Queensland

[unreal chasm]

current look

[rough zinc]

Why stay with the same amount of ram but 4x8 when you can just add a second one kf the exact same kit and get more ram and still get the aesthetic benefits

[unreal chasm]

its not rgb

[rough zinc]

Should roughly be the same cost as getting an entire new 4x8 kit

[unreal chasm]

you cant see it

[fair onyx]

they ship to Aussiland

[unreal chasm]

its in a tinted case

[rough zinc]

Ahh

[hoary zodiac]

If it's something that can last me a decade I'd drop the big bucks on it

[fair onyx]

They had almost 1 MILLION orders, so they aren't small lmao

[rough zinc]

Meh, blackout is the move for a pc

[fair onyx]

oh yeah, there are people who have had their original LTT backpack for over 2.5 years now, and they love them

[hoary zodiac]

Well it does look like a pretty good backpack so

[fair onyx]

Hell, my lowepro backpack isn't built anywhere near as nice as this bag, and it looks brand new even 6 years later

[worn wave]

Oh with the YouTube discount the ltt pack drops much closer in price to the recon, nice

[fair onyx]

Ilove my little lowepro

[unreal chasm]

yeaa thats how I built it but it just has the potential to look so pretty I wanna add some sophisticated color to it lol

[fair onyx]

But I just need... more lol

That bad is sooo smol

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah I'm looking for a slim but versatile backpack

That's why the compartments appeal to me

I got a bunch of random tech crap

Graphics calc, tablet, laptop

[mortal grail]

Don't even get me started mr. Noctua

[rough zinc]

Hey I gave your B12 extremes a try

[mortal grail]

They're good right

[rough zinc]

They're acceptable...

[mortal grail]

For the price they're decent

[rough zinc]

...fine maybe they're pretty good

[fair onyx]

I have this little fella, and it kicks ass, but its soooo small 😅

My 16 inch laptop is bigger than the whole thing lmao

[hoary zodiac]

Laptop doesn't fit no?

[fair onyx]

this can't even carry one

no room for one 😅

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah this is the problem with camera bags

Camera bags can't fit laptops

[fair onyx]

maybe a 13 inch

[hoary zodiac]

Laptop bags are too thin for cameras

[rough zinc]

I should probably move them into my looped pc from my CLC360 cooling a 4790k

[fair onyx]

Thats why I wanted the commuter, cause it can carry a laptop, and has plenty of free space for a DSLR

[pliant berry]

some can... though you often pay a premium

[hoary zodiac]

That's been the headache for me for the past year

[fair onyx]

or in my case, extra changes of clothes, cause I love to travel for a few days using that bag

[hoary zodiac]

Couldn't find the best of both worlds

[fair onyx]

I feel like the commuer nails it. I will let you know when I get mine. Its back ordered for a while 😅

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah I want something that's not too bulky but can still carry stuff I need

[rough zinc]

Industrial fans on an AIO goes kinda hard @mortal grail

[hoary zodiac]

Oh is there a massive waitlist?

[rough zinc]

Man, i still typed in feetlix forgetting you changed your name

[mortal grail]

FWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAA

[hoary zodiac]

I might order one for a february delivery then

[fair onyx]

I have no doubt in my mind that the commuter is built like an absolute tank based off my friends that have the full fat LTT bag

[mortal grail]

https://tenor.com/view/f1-formula-one-car-gif-9712715

[rough zinc]

https://tenor.com/view/the-big-bang-theory-neow-sheldon-doppler-costume-gif-5679266

[fair onyx]

They also have a 30 day from arrival return window, assuming you don't like it

[mortal grail]

@hoary zodiac how be head fone

[hoary zodiac]

The funnies?

Koss?

[mortal grail]

The funnies

[fair onyx]

But like... I can't imagine I am not gonna love it

[mortal grail]

Ye

[hoary zodiac]

I haven't touched my Cloud IIs in a week

I've just switched

[fair onyx]

funnies?

[mortal grail]

Damn

[hoary zodiac]

They're just more comfy

[mortal grail]

Not too bad then

Frrrr

[hoary zodiac]

QLD humidity makes the cloud iis so sweaty

[rough zinc]

I retried my cloud IIs after years of professional headphones and they sound like a toy lmao

[fair onyx]

what headphones are you talking about?

[mortal grail]

Yeah I can't do gaming sets anymore LOL

[mortal grail]

KSC75

[hoary zodiac]

Koss KSC something

[fair onyx]

yeaahhh

[fair onyx]

oh!

I have a pair!

I love them

[hoary zodiac]

AHAHAH

KOSS GANG

[misty sparrow]

That reminds me

[mortal grail]

Lol

[fair onyx]

I am returning them like... right now, cause they hurt the crap out of my ears, but I am gonna get a pair of porta pro X's

[mortal grail]

Budget meta goes hard

Nice

[fair onyx]

but yeah, they sound amazing, and they are so damn comfortable

[rough zinc]

I love my DT700 pro X

[fair onyx]

(outside of the pain 😭 )

[mortal grail]

Porta pros are similar but they have a headband

[misty sparrow]

I hate headphones that are built out of materials that fray or break over time

[mortal grail]

Ye

[rough zinc]

I thought you said porta potty

[hoary zodiac]

Cloud IIs

The headbands flake too much

They're fine but like

[misty sparrow]

any of you have a problem with that fake leather they put in headphones? that stuff no matter what will fray eventually

[fair onyx]

I have a pair of DT770 pros that I modded with massive pads and an EQ, and not gonna lie... The KSC75's just crap all over them for games. Its not even close

[mortal grail]

They could call it this and it still sounds better than any gaming set

[misty sparrow]

and they put it everywhere

[hoary zodiac]

KSC75 more comfy

[rough zinc]

The cloth ear cups are the way to go for cloud IIs

[hoary zodiac]

The headbands I mean

I've replaced the earcups ages ago

[fair onyx]

KSC75's are hands down the absolute best gaming headphones you can get and be well under $50

[rough zinc]

Ahh

[hoary zodiac]

They don't sell cloth headbands sadly

Not even on AliExpress

[fair onyx]

I am getting porta pro X's, cause the ear hooks on the KSC's hurt my ears really bad

[mortal grail]

I think the portas are alright tbh

[hoary zodiac]

Oh no the clouds

[mortal grail]

They're practically the same

[hoary zodiac]

Not the funnies

[mortal grail]

Ah

[hoary zodiac]

I might try a headband

My left ear doesn't like the hook

[misty sparrow]

It’d be nice if there existed nongaming headphones that have a mic

[hoary zodiac]

My right ear is fine

[fair onyx]

I wanna show you guys something even more funny than the funnies. I modded them with huge DT770' replacement pads and ceramic dishes to be closed back headphones

[rough zinc]

I can't do headphones like the KSC75, I need the seal from ear cups

[mortal grail]

If you are uncomfortable then yeah the portas fold up for your pocket

It's a bit nicer but slightly less compact

[hoary zodiac]

Aren't there more modern portas?

[fair onyx]

Yeah, thats why I wanna get them. I love the sound, but man the KSC's hurt my ears instantly. I am wearing them now and they hurt

[mortal grail]

Nah

[rough zinc]

DT770 are already closed back?

[fair onyx]

Porta Pro X's are the newest

[hoary zodiac]

Didn't they make a updated model with the same drivers

Or something

[mortal grail]

Portas are 80's studio style headphones

[fair onyx]

I modded the KSC75's to be close back

[mortal grail]

The look is intentional

[fair onyx]

let me get the pic, its heinous

[rough zinc]

Ahhh

[rough zinc]

Oh god

[hoary zodiac]

Closed back??????

[mortal grail]

Understandable. As I said to boeing you either LOVE the fit or HATE it, no inbetween really lol

[hoary zodiac]

The reason they sound good in the first place is because they're not closed back

PLEASE EXCUSE MY DECINTIGRATING EAR PADS

They just started doing that legit like a few days prior. They were fine and them boom, they fell apart

[rough zinc]

Then again, you probably could easily turn the KSC75s into an actual pair of overear headphones

[mortal grail]

Meh, it's his call tbh

Is

Is that

[fair onyx]

I live in a very evry loud place, so I wanted an option if I could lmao

[mortal grail]

A porcelain bowl

[fair onyx]

[hoary zodiac]

Are these mods any good?

[mortal grail]

[fair onyx]

they are heavy enough to make minimal reverb/harmonics

[hoary zodiac]

soy sauce bowl

Ahahahha

[rough zinc]

[hoary zodiac]

They're funny looking

[fair onyx]

I eventually found out how to get just the drivers into my DT770 ear cups witout the mod

Just slot them in the ear cups and they fit with friction

[worthy meteor]

I remember there being some replacement ear pads that were thicker for ksc75 that was popular

[fair onyx]

they lose a lot of that sound edge, but they still have great air and tambre

[fair onyx]

oh dude, you have no idea

[hoary zodiac]

Is the ali thing any good tho

[fair onyx]

have a look at these BEASTS

[hoary zodiac]

I think it's an open back mod

[fair onyx]

lmaoooo

[hoary zodiac]

Are those porta pros?

[fair onyx]

[hoary zodiac]

What the hell

[worthy meteor]

Lmao

[fair onyx]

here is the huge pad porta pro mod

[mortal grail]

Wtf

[fair onyx]

They are so damn funny looking lmao

[worthy meteor]

I don't think those mods would do much but yea

[hoary zodiac]

What the actual hell

[fair onyx]

they don't affect the sound much at all, but they make them into over ears

[hoary zodiac]

They look funny

[worthy meteor]

Thicker ear pads will help, maybe not that thick though

[fair onyx]

so they sit like over ears instead of on ears

[misty sparrow]

It’s like you took two hockey pucks and used them as headphone parts

What are you doing

[hoary zodiac]

It looks like a women's selfie on Instagram

[misty sparrow]

This is painful

[hoary zodiac]

That's what they look like

Exaggerated proportions

[fair onyx]

The IEM cable mod is pretty fire tho

[misty sparrow]

It looks like Mickey Mouse with disfigured ears

[mortal grail]

[rough zinc]

He's the victor Frankenstein of headphones

[fair onyx]

not gonna lie, the porta pros/KSC75's might be the most modded headphones, cause they are small, good and cheap

[hoary zodiac]

Monkey bars ahh car

[rough zinc]

That your car?

[fair onyx]

you can 3D print all sorts of mods for them

pair of wireless ones somebody made

[hoary zodiac]

Hang your sheets on your car spoilers

[mortal grail]

I pull out the wing and back it up to climb onto my roof mate

[rough zinc]

Trueeee

[fair onyx]

custom colored shells with IEM cable mod

[misty sparrow]

It’s like equipping the gear in a game that gives the effect of something really good like “30% less wind resistance” but it looks stupid as hell

[fair onyx]

Whatever the hell these are

[mortal grail]

Ooo I like this

[misty sparrow]

Shaq’s earbuds

[fair onyx]

the massive pads always get me

[mortal grail]

This is like

If the headphone guy icon was real

[fair onyx]

they are just for people who want them to be over ear 😅

[mortal grail]

It looks so weird lmao

[fair onyx]

oh for sure

[misty sparrow]

It’s like the creators of this mod stayed at a hockey game until both teams started fighting each other, then proceeded to steal the replacement hockey pucks to be used in the headset design

[rough zinc]

Thats the main thing that turns me away from them lol

[fair onyx]

but if you have a pair of KOSS's, you don't care about looks cause they are all ugly lmao

[hoary zodiac]

What are these mods

Repost but

[mortal grail]

Beats by Dr. Hockey

[hoary zodiac]

Do y'all think these would work?

[fair onyx]

THATS LIKE THE PRICE OF PORTA PROS LMAO

Why not just get porta pros at that point 😭

[mortal grail]

WHY IS IT $40

WTF LOL

[fair onyx]

Porta pro X's are only $35 USD lmao

[mortal grail]

IT'S $5 OF FOAM

Dude the replacement foam for these are all like $3

[hoary zodiac]

AliExpress inflation

[mortal grail]

Insane

[fair onyx]

you can get these baddies for $35 lmao

[mortal grail]

[hoary zodiac]

$80 AUD

[fair onyx]

😩

[hoary zodiac]

Probably gonna keep my KSCs

[fair onyx]

I absolutely love that they fold up like this. Genuinely peak design

[hoary zodiac]

Gonna use my iems as carry headphones tbh

Koss leaks too much for commute

[fair onyx]

but yeah, if the KSC's didn't hurt my ears real bad, I would likely daily them

[hoary zodiac]

My moondrop arias hurts my ears after a couple hours

But they don't leak at all and have pretty good passive noise cancellation

[fair onyx]

Side note, I upgraded the sub in my moms car for Christmas lol

[hoary zodiac]

IEMs are great but hurts after a while

[fair onyx]

for sure

[mortal grail]

Me tbh

[fair onyx]

Upgraded mom from a 350 watt 10 inch kicker to a 700 watt 10 inch SKAR, redid the amp power and fixed some issues, and her car sounds so damn good its unreal

[mortal grail]

With like all iems I just can't

[misty sparrow]

Oh god this looks like hospital equipment

[fair onyx]

I know likely none of you guys listen to this style of music, but mom and I love it 😅

Just a raw recording from my phone. Even super loud, its very clean

The new Sub hits so damn good

She was very happy with her Christmas gift <3 haha

My mom is such a bad ass lol

shes got her 7.5 sound system thats been tuned in her convertible mustang that she drives everywhere with the top down lmao

its technically 7.5 not 11.1
