Cpu happened

[safe cape]

cause of OC ?

[rough zinc]

@rancid juniper izzit dead?

[velvet summit]

Cause of using it or smth

[rancid juniper]

No

I haven't reseated yet

[nocturne flicker]

So what you are saying is we should ping you every 5 minutes asking the same thing

[rancid juniper]

CPU forensics or smth, discord gonna ruin the image anyways

[dusk knot]

Tomorrow you will be converted, compooper

[misty sparrow]

@rancid juniper did you fix the CPU yet

[rancid juniper]

NO BRUH 😡

I'm not DONE

[misty sparrow]

okay great i'll check back in five minutes

[rancid juniper]

._.

[rancid juniper]

Not till I fix my junk

[misty sparrow]

i'm going to the store do you need anything?

[rancid juniper]

Extra time is what I need

Thanks

[nocturne flicker]

Best I can offer you is 4 minutes

https://tenor.com/view/pawn-stars-yes-yass-awesome-gif-21935666

[misty sparrow]

clock's ticking

[rancid juniper]

Looking the CPU at an angle looks odd to me, like some of the pads are just chipped and spread out in an unusual pattern (top right)

[safe cape]

https://tenor.com/view/sweaty-sweat-heat-hot-wipe-sweat-gif-17716050

[dusk knot]

Oh ..so there's a chance

[rancid juniper]

Basically this do you guys see that?

[dusk knot]

It's beautiful

[rancid juniper]

@mortal grail @rough zinc

Look at the top right

[misty sparrow]

okay @rancid juniper it's been five minutes are you close to done yet

[rancid juniper]

Look at image

[misty sparrow]

oh.

good work

[nocturne flicker]

You'll get an 80 on your performance review

Thank you valued Newegger

[rancid juniper]

Lol

But seriously is that actually damage?

[nocturne flicker]

I'm not smort enough to determine pad damage. I am simple PGA boi, I see bent pin I understan

[safe cape]

https://tenor.com/view/wtf-gif-gif-26042600

[rancid juniper]

Literally my reaction

[misty sparrow]

a lot of people on r/PCMR be like

[dusk knot]

@rancid juniper what happened to your CPU?

[rancid juniper]

I have no clue

I wonder if some of the pads actually fried out but it looks chipped to me

Motherboard socket looks fine though

It's something like this but far less brutal

Maybe should I try cleaning those contacts?

[safe cape]

burned or what ?

[dusk knot]

Damn

How old is the CPU?

[velvet summit]

One second old frfr

(I have no clue)

[safe cape]

i will never OC my pc

[dusk knot]

I'll never OC my ram

[sweet phoenix]

Ddr5 oc was super easy on my friends build

Jedec 4800mhz to 6000c30

Took abt 10min

[dusk knot]

My PC is Soo stable rn. I haven't seen a freeze or blue screen in over a year

[fresh timber]

@rancid juniper some say its fine

[viral heron]

how do i get dust of a mousepad

[rancid juniper]

Hmm

[viral heron]

xraypad aqua control 2

would it be dumb to use a lint roller

[rough zinc]

@rancid juniper izzit ded?

[random osprey]

vacuum, lint roller, hold it up and beat the mousepad with your hand or something to shake it off

[rancid juniper]

Look at image a few posts up

[random osprey]

or just straight up wash it

[rough zinc]

Okay but izzit ded?

[fresh nova]

[rancid juniper]

Idk I haven't done anything yet

[safe cape]

wrong

[random osprey]

lick the dust off

[random osprey]

me with all my mousepads every other week

[fresh timber]

can the b580 come back in stock so i can make a impulsive purchase

intel people want ur cards, make more

[nocturne flicker]

I think it is that cluster on the bottom left? No idea what those pads do tho

[random osprey]

looks like a pipe with some smoke coming out of it

[rancid juniper]

Can't tell due to compression

[nocturne flicker]

I got it from: https://www.gadget-manual.com/pinout-cpu/lga-1700/

[rancid juniper]

Whoa

[mortal grail]

Dis u?

[rancid juniper]

I'll probably post this on Reddit and see their responses

[mortal grail]

Hah

I see it

[lone mango]

[rancid juniper]

Yes that

Tf is this

https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/cpu-has-strange-white-spots-on-bottom.3470277/

It's right where the x16 pads are

It checks out

Looks to me like you've got some cpu damage there lad

[mortal grail]

Ok that pic got blurred to hell

[rancid juniper]

Another pic top down

[rancid juniper]

You can see a slight smidge on the right

[mortal grail]

Here's where I circled

That's where the mark is

[rancid juniper]

X16...

No way

[mortal grail]

It goes right over it

[rancid juniper]

So... It ain't some thermal paste that seeped in?

Just actual damage?

[mortal grail]

That's the spot that had the chip damage before right

[rancid juniper]

I guess?

[mortal grail]

Wait let me see if I can find it

[rancid juniper]

Alr thank you

[fresh timber]

how long yall tink it funan take for b580 prices to not be stupid

Whoa

https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/motherboards/msi-z790-motherboards-reportedly-failing-with-cracked-pch-chipset-a-manufacturing-error-may-have-affected-a-few-hundred-units

Found this

[rancid juniper]

Tf?

[mortal grail]

Ah

I found it

Yeah it's the same spot

It lasted 10 months

Lol

Time to try RMA

[rancid juniper]

Wow

Lmfao

[sinful blade]

8~ months.

[fresh timber]

5060 funan drop by then

[cursive oasis]

bot

[sinful blade]

Eat my booty

[nocturne flicker]

No it isn't, it is right where that cluster on the bottom left of the image is. You can tell which end is which based on the pad wear in the picture of the cpu. The two zig zags representing the top of those x16 pins in the pin layout is touching those pads on the bottom left of the cpu.

[leaden pewter]

by getting a real job you can double that money

[sinful blade]

@pliant berry bot

[upper hawk]

Must be heluva job to get that much in 72hours then

[storm narwhal]

I'll help you understand what happens to bots who spam in this server

Also its real easy: just buy a bitcoin and wait for the next 20 years

It'll go up eventually

[mortal grail]

Actually you're completely right I didn't notice it was mirrored

Frost^

[rancid juniper]

What is this?

Wait what does this mean?

[mortal grail]

That's where the scratches go over

In red

[rancid juniper]

I see

So should I RMA this on Intel's site or?

[mortal grail]

Trying to figure out what those pins do

[fresh timber]

im looking at ebay for things im not going to buy

3080 prices are poig

[nocturne flicker]

I found reference to DDIA_AUX in a document relating to display stuff?

And looking up DDIA_TXP gave me:

But I imagine that would mean it is igpu related if it is display related stuff?

[mortal grail]

Yeah I just found it

Same deal in Intel's white paper for the socket

[opaque sedge]

Felix…

I just remembered

Damn u

[dusk knot]

Hhhmmmmmm

[mortal grail]

@rancid juniper

This is a MIPI DSI

[upper hawk]

Anyone know how many hours left for nvidia announcements ?

[opaque sedge]

Who cares abt ngreedia i’m more excited abt the controllers gamesir is gonna drop

[mortal grail]

And a DSI is a component handshaker for display output

So no dsi, no video

[opaque sedge]

They’re apparently gonna release a new pro controller with a crapton of microswitches and 4 back buttons

Path of exile 2 gameplay is gonna be insane

[rancid juniper]

But what does that have to do with the WiFi card not working?

[mortal grail]

But this doesn't explain no pcie at all

[rancid juniper]

Yea

[mortal grail]

Yeah I was about to say

[upper hawk]

If they have both a display and hall effect then I am kinda excited

[opaque sedge]

Uhh guys whats xda

[rancid juniper]

I was thinking about doing the Intel RMA but I fear that if I mention something like I used an anti bending contact frame it might void @mortal grail

[opaque sedge]

No display but they are likely gonna use tmr sticks basically hall effect but more precise apparently

[fresh timber]

thats why you dont tell them about the frame

[rancid juniper]

Lol

[opaque sedge]

https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/s/kVR2e22C7j a model with steam branding was leaked too

They alr teased an xbox version in the past

Dpad doesnt look that nice tho

[heavy dew]

GTA 6

[mortal grail]

I found it

Ok no idea which ddix is which

But ddia through ddie

They're each display lanes

So each display output goes through those pins

However it's completely unrelated to the wifi card

VSS local to that would likely also be unrelated

And the reserved pin may as well be nothing

So the scratches could explain a warm gpu with no display

But it doesn't explain the wifi at all

@rancid juniper are we sure that the scratches are deep at all

[rancid juniper]

I don't think so

Man this sucks I legit have no clue what to do

[tacit geode]

nerd

[mortal grail]

I'm not really convinced anymore that it's the scratches

Ngl

[rancid juniper]

I see

Do you need more images?

[sage sluice]

Should i be concerned? 😭

I know technically its safe right about 95 but

[mortal grail]

Have you tried reseating it

[rancid juniper]

No... I havent

[mortal grail]

It's fine

[mortal grail]

Try

I'm thinking contact frame wasn't proper

[rancid juniper]

Hmm ok I'll give it a shot

[sage sluice]

Wont effect lifespan much will it? (First time messing with memory clocks)

[rancid juniper]

I gotta be very careful this time

[mortal grail]

Nand likes to be hot

[frigid stag]

Have u ever had issues with it before

Or like crashes

[mortal grail]

He's actually been fine until now

[rancid juniper]

No

[frigid stag]

Huh strange

[mortal grail]

But all of a sudden no pcie

[rancid juniper]

^^^

[frigid stag]

Imagine it’s the pins 💀

[mortal grail]

So yeah I'm thinking it wasn't on properly

[mortal grail]

I tried checking that, it can't explain the wifi card getting no signal

Like pcie signal

[frigid stag]

Ye strange

[mortal grail]

I suspect the frame mount

[frigid stag]

Could be the contacts o n the cpu too

[mortal grail]

That's what I just checked ye

Pins are fine iirc

He has two scratches over dsi pins but his cpu still gives out video and the wifi card not connecting is unrelated to those

[frigid stag]

Pins on the cpu?

[mortal grail]

The pads

Sorry

[frigid stag]

How do you even get scratches on those

[mortal grail]

The pins are fine tho iirc

No sign of anything

[frigid stag]

I guess it could’ve been dropped or something

[frigid stag]

Had a friend do that with an amd cpu it was not pretty

[rancid juniper]

Just sending extra if y'all want

[frigid stag]

Took like 30 mins and some tweezers and it was up and running tho

[mortal grail]

Context

[rancid juniper]

Legit done that on my FX-4300 years ago

[frigid stag]

🗿

[mortal grail]

Again it's over the ddix pins and looks surface level

Cpu is giving out video considering

[frigid stag]

That’s the igpu isn’t it

[mortal grail]

And it doesn't explain the wifi card not working whatsoever

Ye I believe so

[rancid juniper]

Boatload of strange

[mortal grail]

Either way I'm not convinced the scratches explain it

[frigid stag]

As long as u still have warranty on it it’s ok

[fresh timber]

o m g

so close

[mortal grail]

The wifi card may have been your saving grace here

Lmfao

Otherwise I'd have not said anything

[mortal grail]

On demand

[rancid juniper]

XD

[fresh timber]

i was try harding so much

[rancid juniper]

Remember, BT works but wifi doesn't, BT is inside that card but the AX210 isn't present in device manager or anywhere else@mortal grail

Odd bs

[mortal grail]

The bt is usb tho innit

[rancid juniper]

Ohhhhhhhh

[mortal grail]

Ye so it still sits as an unexplained puzzle piece

[sinful blade]

I can’t SEE

[mortal grail]

Ye, wouldn't buy one tho

[rancid juniper]

This seems much better

Gonna screw it in now

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/b8P8TW/asrock-b650m-pg-lightning-wifi-micro-atx-am5-motherboard-b650m-pg-lightning-wifi how about this?

[mortal grail]

Passable but still meh

Try a620i lightning

[sinful blade]

Just looking for a motherboard with 2 gen 4 nvme slots

[rancid juniper]

Lol I hope not

[sinful blade]

WiFi not needed

[mortal grail]

Or https://pcpartpicker.com/product/FcbRsY/asrock-b650m-pro-rs-micro-atx-am5-motherboard-b650m-pro-rs

Otherwise 157 is the minimum decent

[mortal grail]

Pro rs

[mortal grail]

Pro rs

Dunno why both have to be gen 4 but it has 2 slots

[sinful blade]

Don’t pcie 4.0 not work on gen 3?

Or am I dumb

I’m probably dumb

[mortal grail]

Pcie is reverse compatible

[opaque sedge]

Its so beautiful sadly they’re going to be sticking to super monotone for their upcoming mobos apparently

[mortal grail]

Thank god

[sinful blade]

I feel like a dummy

[mortal grail]

Msi went all colourful and I was heartbroken

[opaque sedge]

Huh

[mortal grail]

Unify lineup ruined

[mortal grail]

I like minimalist design

[opaque sedge]

Towards the next extreme ur gonna say u like brutalist designs next

[rancid juniper]

iirc the contact frame shouldn't be too tight correct? @mortal grail

Torque

[hoary zodiac]

How much could I sell this for:
HP Probook 640 G2
i5 6200u
128gb nvme
8gb ram

[mortal grail]

I like brutalist designs next

[mortal grail]

Evenly tight

Not too tight

[rancid juniper]

Got it, did it in criss-cross fashion

[opaque sedge]

Ngl i would prolly forget how much i tightened the last screw

[mortal grail]

I tend to zero the screws first

So like

I'll unscrew until the screw clicks in the hole

Which is basically it as unscrewed as possible

[rancid juniper]

Did that as well

[mortal grail]

Ye then you did it properly

[mortal grail]

Depending on the socket shape it can feel loose on some more than others

Use that how you want lmao

[opaque sedge]

Pc building for me will always be plug and play with manuals never gonna go super extra

[rancid juniper]

Dang I made the thinnest smallest line of thermal paste

Ah whatever

[opaque sedge]

Dont say that

Its prolly avg

[mortal grail]

What are you a paste sandwich

[rancid juniper]

Yes

Chef

[mortal grail]

Oh

[rancid juniper]

😏

PC boots

Ok great the processor didn't die

Bad news, wifi card still not found

[frigid stag]

Maybe the wifi card is broken

[rancid juniper]

No

[sinful blade]

@mortal grail https://www.jawa.gg/product/53770/msi-b650-wifi-am5-ddr5-motherboard
would this work?

Putting my 8500g in it.

[rancid juniper]

I'm tired, thanks for the help y'all I'll just figure out the rest next time

[proud jackal]

watched intersteller on netflix, still good even 10 years later

[sweet phoenix]

i didnt know this existed

looks like a step above the b650-s wifi so it's probably fine

looks like good vrms

[misty sparrow]

what region do you live in? it's not available here

[craggy shoal]

'Merica

[sweet phoenix]

yeah that could handle a good upgrade down the line, and has a decent amount of slots

$105 is a solid price

bruh steam game awards must be rigged ong

[hoary zodiac]

Bacca what's your go-to motherboards?

Or rather what's your reference for motherboard picks

[velvet summit]

none of the games i voted won

[hoary zodiac]

Is the vrm tier list still a thing?

[hoary zodiac]

It's always the normie games

[velvet summit]

beamng didnt even make it to the finalists

[hoary zodiac]

What's on the list again

[nocturne flicker]

China Souls game won

[hoary zodiac]

Beamng probably had more passion and effort put into it than half those games

[velvet summit]

it's basically a black myth wukong sweep

elden ring was the labour of love winner

[hoary zodiac]

elden ring is overrated

Like it's a good game but like

It won last time

Smh no originality these guys

[misty sparrow]

it's probably a troll like 2023

[hoary zodiac]

Have to vote for the same game

[misty sparrow]

the entire steam awards 2023 was a troll so im not surprised if 2024 was too

[nocturne flicker]

Could we have something other than Souls-likes winning stuff?

[hoary zodiac]

You never see a grand strategy title win

[velvet summit]

bkw won goty, best game you suck at, and outstanding story rich
metro awakening won vr game of the year
elden ring won labour of love
gow ragnarok won best game on steam deck
helldivers won better with friends
silent hill 2 won outstanding visual style
liars bar won innovative gameplay
rdr1 won best soundtrack
farming sim 25 won sit back and relax

[hoary zodiac]

At least farming sim is something different

rdr1?

Really?

That's a decade old game

This is a troll

[velvet summit]

i have no idea how that won

[nocturne flicker]

The SGA is always a crapshot

[hoary zodiac]

Silent hill 2 I guess makes sense

[velvet summit]

tbf idk many games that "came out" this year with a good soundtrack

[hoary zodiac]

Since it's a remake

[velvet summit]

i would vote like ff or nier every year if they made a new game every year frfr

[hoary zodiac]

I'd vote for europa universalis iv every year

Still hands down the best paradox game

[velvet summit]

for soundtrack?

[nocturne flicker]

Starfield won most innovative last year afterall

[hoary zodiac]

labour of love

[velvet summit]

oh

but yeah there's alot more games that are way more deserving of labour of love than elden ring

[hoary zodiac]

EU4 is a decade old and it's still getting dlcs and updates

[misty sparrow]

RDR2 winning labor of love is probably the biggest smack in the face

[hoary zodiac]

I mean it's a paradox cash cow but still

[proud jackal]

baulders gate 3 game of the century

[hoary zodiac]

A decade old game...

[velvet summit]

beamng is also a decade old this year and is still getting high quality updates every few months

[hoary zodiac]

Still getting updates and new content

[hoary zodiac]

Haven't played beamng but from what I've heard it's really good

(no wheel setup)

Threw my lot in with the flight sim community

[velvet summit]

lmao

i used to kinda want to get into flight simming but then saw how deep people's RP of flight sim goes and i gave up on that lmao

i do not want that stress lmfao

[hoary zodiac]

speaking of flight sim

You know the recent korean crash?

[proud jackal]

[sinful blade]

I have about $400 in upgrades lined up then

[hoary zodiac]

Apparently those pilots are less competent than some flight sim players

[velvet summit]

💀

my roommate in college was a flight pilot student and also was a flight simmer

[sinful blade]

New mobo, cpu fan, PSU, more storage, and a gpu

[hoary zodiac]

OOOO

Can I do your pcpp list?

[misty sparrow]

what do you have right now if you don't mind me asking

[hoary zodiac]

something igpu

bomb psu I think

[misty sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/gigabyte-psu-gamers-nexus-pc-bomb-planted-gif-22845602

like this?

[hoary zodiac]

It's an igpu system so

🤷‍♂️

[sweet phoenix]

whatre the parts looking like atm?

and what's the ram?

Is it a blower card?

Nah, I think it’s an MSI

💀

[sinful blade]

It’s not the greatest

Eh better a blower I guess

[sinful blade]

But it’s a 1080ti so

[hoary zodiac]

It'll do

[sweet phoenix]

dont do gf a3

swap to bfg

[safe cape]

1080ti in 2025 ? hmmm

[hoary zodiac]

1080ti is still a pretty good 1080p card

[sweet phoenix]

and couldn't hurt to spend $5 more for the 120 evo from thermalright

[hoary zodiac]

Especially if you don't play AAA

[sweet phoenix]

if you feel like it

[safe cape]

yeah thats it no aaa

[velvet summit]

i am in misery
there aint nobody who can comfort me- oh yeah

[hoary zodiac]

AAA is unoptimised garbage these days anyways

[sinful blade]

I don’t play AAA

the most modern game I play is d2

[hoary zodiac]

I have a 3070 mobile and it's way overkill for anything I play

VR titles and FS2020 are the heaviest titles I run on it

[velvet summit]

me struggling with vr

[safe cape]

then good

[hoary zodiac]

Wee arr

[velvet summit]

tfw my 3070ti mobile runs noticably worse than a 6750xt in vr

that 8gb vram really be holding it back

[hoary zodiac]

🤨

ah

Vram moment

That's specifically why I got the 3070 over the 3060

[misty sparrow]

-# im playin GTAV and it's dragging my 3060ti to its bare knees at 1080p lmao

[hoary zodiac]

Good move in hindsight

[velvet summit]

i honestly hate it

WHY is a 3070 TI only 8gb vram

[misty sparrow]

AND 256bit bus

[hoary zodiac]

3060 was on par with 3070 in a lot of cases

But only had 6gb vram

[velvet summit]

ironically 3060 would be a better choice since you can get it with 12gb

[misty sparrow]

eight

[hoary zodiac]

I'm talking about laptop btw

[misty sparrow]

oh

[sweet phoenix]

mobile?

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah

[velvet summit]

oh nvidia didnt make a 12gb mobile version

[hoary zodiac]

They're not that nice

[velvet summit]

😔

[hoary zodiac]

3070 is the max before you reach diminishing returns

And that's with 8gb vram

I mean it was good a couple years ago

Still is for the games I play

[velvet summit]

but yeah, it's funny how my friend with a 3060 12gb can run vr considerably better than i could run with a 3070ti mobile

all because of the vram

[hoary zodiac]

I want 64GB HBM2

Would be funny

[velvet summit]

give me 32gb of l3 cache frfr

[hoary zodiac]

We should bring back physx to be funny

Actually is physx even needed now that we have cpus that have more than 4 cores?

looking at you kaby lake

[hoary zodiac]

I think they process it using cpu these days?

[frigid stag]

Bro idk if I’m dyslexic or something. I almost read that as urinal engine 😭😭

[hoary zodiac]

URINAL ENGINE

[frigid stag]

[sinful blade]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/n48BqH

So this is the upgrade list

I will be looking for everything used

[velvet summit]

piss in it and crap comes out

accurate

[hoary zodiac]

used ddr5?

Good luck finding kits that's not vengeance

[sweet phoenix]

can find mediocre ddr5 pretty cheap

spend a bit tuning it and its fine

[frigid stag]

not wrong

[misty sparrow]

rendered in high-definition with Nanite technology

[hoary zodiac]

Gamer paste

[proud jackal]

nailcutter for size comparison

[fresh timber]

Yup

I should build in the thermaltske case

[dusk knot]

Hmmmm

[sinful blade]

Does 8500g support 6000mhz

[sweet phoenix]

yeah

id look for basically any 5600+cl40 or lower kit, and you can tune it better, if it's cheap enough, 5600c32 or better is nice for hynix

[sinful blade]

The “5200mhz” kit black screens me if I attempt to go from 4800 to 5200

So I wasn’t sure

[sweet phoenix]

sounds like bad ram or mobo

[sinful blade]

It’s viper ram

So probably ram

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/rPC48d/patriot-viper-venom-16-gb-2-x-8-gb-ddr5-5200-cl36-memory-pvv516g520c36k

[sweet phoenix]

you could try making a manual profile

[frigid stag]

16gb ddr5

Forgot they had those

[fresh timber]

they poo

[frigid stag]

Maybe. For ddr4 16 is decent afaik

Ddr5 might be different

[sinful blade]

I tried

[sweet phoenix]

with a tutorial?

[sinful blade]

Yes

I think it’s one of the first that Oop up

https://youtu.be/hY8m9I2Bzbk?feature=shared

[sweet phoenix]

prolly just bad stick or bad mobo then

[sinful blade]

I think it was this

[sweet phoenix]

what voltage did you use?

[sinful blade]

Uhhhhh

I do not remember

It was a few weeks ago now

I could try again tonight and find out a stable clock

[sweet phoenix]

do that for voltages

idk what timings, prolly 5200mhz to start

[sinful blade]

I had to revert it to base profile to get out of black screen

One stick at a time

[sweet phoenix]

clearing cmos should fix that

[sinful blade]

I hate dealing with ram

[sweet phoenix]

imo it's prolly just somethings faulty, but you can try it. you are planning to replace anyways

[sinful blade]

I’m not good enough with it yet

[sweet phoenix]

and 8gb ddr5 sticks are mid

[sinful blade]

[sinful blade]

Ye

[sweet phoenix]

ill give you $20 for it

[sinful blade]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LPsNzP

[sinful blade]

The ram?

[sweet phoenix]

you could prolly sell it for $30-40 depending

[sinful blade]

Everything in the pc is “brand new” apparently so I’m hoping I can get maybe $150~ out of it all.
Selling mobo, ram, PSU, and fan.

650w***

Ooo, the drive too

[hoary zodiac]

I hope youre making $$$

[sinful blade]

There’s a lot of garbage in it

[hoary zodiac]

Sort of sort of not

:⁠^⁠)

[hybrid lion]

hey i have a quetison

[dusk knot]

Hm?

[hybrid lion]

if i get dual processor motherboard, does roblox only use one cpu or can roblox use both cpu?

cause im talking about running like 40 accounts or more

[dusk knot]

One. There's no game designed for two CPUs

[hybrid lion]

well roblox doesnt even use gpu

its mostly using cpu

[green yew]

How to get

[hybrid lion]

but if its still the same question

then how much core i should get

if i am going to be running 40 acc?

16 core?

Intel Core i9-12900KF 16 (8P+8E) Cores

[green yew]

Probably the best cpu in the market

[hybrid lion]

Intel Core i9-12900KF 16 (8P+8E) Cores would this be good enough to run like 40+ roblox accounts?

[frigid stag]

24 core

[hybrid lion]

so i would need 24 for like 40 accounts?

[frigid stag]

Idk how many exactly you need but a 24 core i9 is like 400 bucks or less

[hybrid lion]

oh really only 400?

[hoary zodiac]

gonna watch hw news in the pool

[hybrid lion]

seems good deal

[hoary zodiac]

what could possibly go wrong

https://tenor.com/view/fail-drop-pc-computer-notebook-gif-15238377

[hybrid lion]

what would you say the motherboard is good for it?

like cheap and good

[sinful blade]

@hybrid lion I’d advice against running that many accounts
Seems like a bannable offense according to Roblox TOS

[hoary zodiac]

You can also run waydroid in docker containers

[hybrid lion]

youtubers runs 10 or more accounts

and they show it on youtube

im fine

[hoary zodiac]

Run as many instances as you like

[sinful blade]

If you’re talking about that dude who pops up

[hybrid lion]

nope, all youtubers

[hoary zodiac]

Where's our residental roblox expert

[hybrid lion]

mostly pet sim, pets go, other big games youtubers

[hoary zodiac]

@fox

@elfin mural

There's a Roblox community?

[sinful blade]

These guys have viruses in their download links lmao

Don’t follow their directions

[hoary zodiac]

Those thumbnails are toddler bait

[hybrid lion]

not talking about those lmao

real youtubers

[sinful blade]

Okay

[hybrid lion]

can you help me to decided what is best cpu?

[topaz crown]

Hello @hybrid lion! 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.

[hoary zodiac]

What is this for anyways

Profit?

[hybrid lion]

yes

[hoary zodiac]

Pretty sure that's against tos

To mass farm

[hybrid lion]

youtubers does it

and they show it on youtube

so im okay

[hoary zodiac]

Doesn't make it right

You have to realise

[worthy meteor]

youtubers also get banned all the time

[hybrid lion]

i done it for years

just help brother out and tell me what is the best cpu

[hoary zodiac]

Surely you can just run android containers

You don't need that many cores right?

[hybrid lion]

mate

with 6 core i can barely run 7 acc

[hoary zodiac]

What are you using?

Windows?

[hybrid lion]

yes, some weak i5 11th gen 6 core

its what i had for backup

so im upgrading

[hoary zodiac]

Is that the windows client?

[hybrid lion]

intel

[hoary zodiac]

No

The roblox client

[hybrid lion]

window, android or ios

[hoary zodiac]

on your pc

[hybrid lion]

yeah i told you

its on window, android and ios

[hoary zodiac]

no

The one you are using on your pc

[hybrid lion]

the cpu?

[hoary zodiac]

the roblox client running on your computer

[hybrid lion]

yeah its on my pc

[hoary zodiac]

it's on windows correct?

[hybrid lion]

yes

[hoary zodiac]

ok

Here's an idea

[hybrid lion]

what?

[hoary zodiac]

You can use proxmox to set up a bunch of linux vms

And run a waydroid container inside each one, each running the android version of roblox

You might be able to more effectively utilise your current resources that way

[hybrid lion]

so basically emulator?

[hoary zodiac]

Well no

It's running natively

Android is pretty much a version of linux

What waydroid does is, in a nutshell, run android protocols inside a container

[hybrid lion]

yeah it wont work like that, not what I need

i need bunch of applications in one spot

not in every vms

[hoary zodiac]

right

That would be absurdly inefficient

[hybrid lion]

so the best soluation is getting 24 core and not dual cpu?

[hoary zodiac]

I mean

What cpus were you looking at

Xeon E5 v4?

[hybrid lion]

i found one for i9 14th gen with 24 core

[hoary zodiac]

You're just wasting money at that point

[hybrid lion]

alright help me out then

[topaz crown]

Hello @hybrid lion! 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.

[hoary zodiac]

If it's physical cores you need

Rather than powerful cores

[hybrid lion]

well its not the core i need

i just need a cpu that can run up to 40 accounts

or more

[hoary zodiac]

Is roblox cpu heavy?

Seems like you're running a lot of parallel processes

So it's very much a multi core affair

[frigid stag]

Some kind of z790 I guess

[hybrid lion]

with i5 11th gen 6 core and one roblox application does 30% of cpu usage

[hybrid lion]

let me ask you this

if i get dual cpu motherboard, how much core should each cpu have?

[frigid stag]

Idk about xeons

They’re probably old to have dual sockets unless you’re spending a lot of money

[hoary zodiac]

Nah

It's the exact opposite

They're dirt cheap

Nobody wants them

https://a.aliexpress.com/_ongz2Fd

[frigid stag]

Well yeah the old stuff

But for a new one it’s gonna be a lot of money if they even still make them

[hoary zodiac]

He's running roblox on them so

This is haswell so it shouldn't be too bad

[hybrid lion]

well the thing im looking for

the motherboard dont have to be new

[hoary zodiac]

Broadwell
https://a.aliexpress.com/_oEgK3Yb

[hybrid lion]

but i want to to support like i9

[hoary zodiac]

14c/28t * 2

Very stupid yes but also very cheap

However it is worth noting that a 14900k has the same core count for half the power consumption

[lone mango]

My college has a concentration for aws so I took some practice tests and scheduled the test

[velvet summit]

Buying/selling Roblox accounts are against TOS
Alternative accounts don't break TOS, but using alt accounts to circumvent bans is against TOS
Account sharing is technically allowed but strongly discouraged

[green yew]

Ohh, that's awesome

[lone mango]

Where did this come from

[hybrid lion]

im not even selling accounts or buying accounts lmao

[lone mango]

Oh

[hybrid lion]

man im doing this for me

ME

not for anyone else

[hoary zodiac]

Are you farming

[hybrid lion]

yes

[lone mango]

I guess it really is ngl

Professor I had was really good

[hybrid lion]

plus the link you sent me the cpu is just bad

[velvet summit]

Ah I was assuming you were mass farming accounts to sell or smth

[lone mango]

He gave us a lot of tips and showed us how to get certified

[hybrid lion]

no man, its for me lol

[lone mango]

Also showed us students who got certified as well

He also has like 20+ certs

Madman

[hoary zodiac]

It is bad but it's the cheapest way to get cores

Which will get more accounts running at the same time

Roblox is single threaded no?

[velvet summit]

You don't gotta have high performance to farm 40 accounts

[hoary zodiac]

^

[velvet summit]

Assuming you're mainly afk

[hoary zodiac]

You just need a crap ton of cores

Which these cheap xeons would do just fine

[hybrid lion]

marco

[hoary zodiac]

But at double the power consumption of a 14900k for 2* 2680v4

[hybrid lion]

listen, i dont really want you guys worrying about me getting banned or anything

i know what im doing

i just need help getting good cpu

[topaz crown]

Hello @hybrid lion! 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]

I'm not talking about bans lmao

[hybrid lion]

you pinged me about not selling or buying acc is against roblox tios

[hoary zodiac]

Have you read what he just said

[velvet summit]

Yeah that was the previous thing, you cleared it up

[hybrid lion]

sorry

[velvet summit]

I'm talking about the recommended cpu being likely fine for your use case

[hybrid lion]

yeah i misread

my bad

[hoary zodiac]

Roblox should be single threaded right?

So you don't need high performance cores just more cores

[velvet summit]

I've seen people play Roblox on old xeons fine so I'd expect it to probably be fine for your use case as well, though the people I've seen use them aren't usually running 40 instances lol

[hybrid lion]

yeah for me its little different lol

[velvet summit]

The guy I knew used it because it was the cheapest computer he found

💀

[hybrid lion]

lol

[hybrid lion]

no it uses all

i tried to limit the core of use

[hoary zodiac]

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/single-thread-vs-multithread/659565#:~:text=So yeah%2C Roblox is single,which is creating the thread.

[hybrid lion]

same problem

[hoary zodiac]

Ok yep

lua runs on a single thread

[velvet summit]

Honestly I think I'd be more worried about not having enough GPU compute power for 40 instances of Roblox over not enough cpu

[hybrid lion]

i thought so

but the problem is

[hoary zodiac]

Roblox is terribly optimised

[hybrid lion]

roblox dont even us 1% of my gpu

use*

[velvet summit]

Hmm

[hybrid lion]

its mostly cpu

[hoary zodiac]

Might be the specific games he play

[velvet summit]

Perhaps

[hoary zodiac]

Should be fine

[hybrid lion]

i tried every game

on roblox

same problem

[hoary zodiac]

Idea

Get a cheap x99 single aocket bundle with a 2680 v4

[velvet summit]

Back when I was an igpu gamer, Roblox would be too much for an igpu

[hoary zodiac]

If that's fine with more instances then upgrade to a dual socket board and buy another cpu

Make sure you get v4 not v3

v4 is broadwell v3 is haswell

Less cores and less efficient

[hybrid lion]

ill look into that

[craggy shoal]

I want a Threadripper

[hybrid lion]

plus how can i find dual cpu on newegg?

[hoary zodiac]

You won't

[hybrid lion]

why?

is it old?

[hoary zodiac]

The ones you can afford

Yes

[craggy shoal]

dual CPU? That could mean two things

[hoary zodiac]

Aliexpress is generally the best platform because they recycle the chipsets into new motherboards

[hybrid lion]

so my quest is here is trying to find best option

to run like 40 accounts on roblox

[craggy shoal]

man what

that's a lot of dedication for Roblox lol

[hybrid lion]

i know

[hoary zodiac]

Y'all have fun with him I'm gonna go watch gn in the pool

[hybrid lion]

but just trying to find best one

[hybrid lion]

damn u gonna leave me
