not enough for me to give a crap

hoary zodiac
#

🤨

rancid juniper
#

Bios is updated to the latest

fresh timber
#

domplats are unironcily high end

idle nexus
#

what the heck... I wonder if those ICs can't handle extra voltage or something

hoary zodiac
#

I wonder if it's also got something to do with intel

idle nexus
#

lol buy some darn bdie

rancid juniper
#

Na I'm fine

hoary zodiac
#

I suppose there's no other way to test it

rancid juniper
#

Already tweaked the ram to something suitable

fresh timber
hoary zodiac
#

ryzen zooms at 6000MHz

#

It'd probably struggle with ddr4

idle nexus
velvet summit
#

Somebody punched the LCD out of the monitor and said that they got a little angry

fresh timber
velvet summit
#

I do not want to know what normal levels of anger are

fresh timber
#

alot of the games dont really care abt 4 or 5 if u scroll throguh them

#

some do, some dont

velvet summit
#

If little angry is that bad

hoary zodiac
#

well the thing is

rancid juniper
fresh timber
#

the ones that do msostly like 10fps i cant see

hoary zodiac
#

ddr4 is a dead end platform

#

ddr5 is just better unless your budget is tight

#

because you can keep that ram in a future upgrade

idle nexus
hoary zodiac
#

and besides

fresh timber
tranquil pebble
#

96 GB DDR5 will last me a long time

hoary zodiac
#

games haven't extracted the performance from it yet

#

but it will

fresh timber
#

i was speaking on my behalf

rancid juniper
#

Lmfao

hoary zodiac
#

ah

fresh timber
#

of course ill go ddr5 next upgrade kek

hoary zodiac
#

that makes a lot more sense now

#

thought you were speaking generally

fresh timber
#

that video stopped me from upgrading my current system to ddr5 kek

hoary zodiac
#

eh no harm done

idle nexus
#

if I could do this on 11th gen I'm sure 12th would do it easier

hoary zodiac
#

better to not spend that money than impulsively buy

#

you still have the money

fresh timber
#

i upgraded from 11600k to 13600kf 2 years ago

idle nexus
#

I miss my 11600K

fresh timber
#

bes tupgrade i ever did

rancid juniper
#

Mmm tasty options

fresh timber
idle nexus
#

I broke the SMDs off trying to delid lol

fresh timber
#

i was having performance issues with my games

hoary zodiac
#

I miss having inadequate hardware

fresh timber
#

then the mf g ame would have my cpu run at 100% usage

hoary zodiac
#

I remember upgrading every few months back in 2019-2020

idle nexus
fresh timber
#

now my 13600kf doesnt go past 50% 99% of the time

hoary zodiac
#

now I don't even play video games anymore

#

miss the hobby tbh

fresh timber
#

i swear

#

i dont game like i used too

#

but still obsess over my pc

hoary zodiac
#

welcome to the adult life bud

fresh timber
#

hoary zodiac
#

it gets more depressing from here

fresh timber
#

istg if im older than u

idle nexus
#

fresh timber
hoary zodiac
#

fresh timber
#

thats prob what i need to do

fresh timber
hoary zodiac
#

🥱

#

ok

rancid juniper
#

Cpu vcore: 1.095v

idle nexus
#

Micron Rev E/N (whatever I have--ballistix max) ran the same 5066 as DJR but tighter

hoary zodiac
#

Micron E is the good stuff for ddr5 right?

rancid juniper
#

Is high trefi even safe?

idle nexus
rancid juniper
#

No

idle nexus
#

lol I max out tREFI always

rancid juniper
#

Wait actually I did for higher clocks

#

But it doesn't work

fresh timber
idle nexus
#

DDR4: 65535
DDR5: 262143

rancid juniper
#

You madman

fresh timber
#

ugh

#

i want to buy ddr5 just to play with it now

#

im bored

idle nexus
#

AM5 doesn't let you set tREFI. heck

hoary zodiac
#

I want to get a FX-9590 just to overclock it to 9GHz

idle nexus
#

well actually, Unify-X isn't thaaat bad

#

I just wanted more from it

shy pond
#

@hoary zodiac I just dmed you a question

idle nexus
#

but ya for ddr5, hynix a-die is dirt cheap & even 5600c46 will POST like 8600+

hoary zodiac
#

my dms are not open sorry

shy pond
idle nexus
#

why does DDR4 bdie still cost so much?

hoary zodiac
#

and besides if you ask here you get more opinions

rancid juniper
#

@idle nexus

shy pond
idle nexus
#

brand new 2x16gb DDR5 A-die is cheaper than used 2x16 DDR4 B-die lol

rancid juniper
#

I wonder how much I can actually squeeze from 3000M/T

hoary zodiac
#

?

idle nexus
#

try

#

tRRD_L 6 & tFAW 24

hoary zodiac
rancid juniper
#

CL12 doesn't boot and CL13 actually errors out on y-cruncher

hoary zodiac
#

I wonder how far you can push this thing

idle nexus
#

oh wait this is DDR4 derp

#

sorry

#

let me look again lol

fresh timber
rancid juniper
hoary zodiac
rancid juniper
#

I already tweaked Trrd and Tfaw

hoary zodiac
#

damn

idle nexus
#

Real 1N is hard on IMC

rancid juniper
fresh timber
#

ln2

idle nexus
#

I was OCing 10700KF the other day for XTU & realized I can't even run Real 1N lol

#

I bet if you set that to auto on your old OC, it would probably work

#

(before you lowered clocks)

rancid juniper
#

Funny thing was, everything can be default and it would still not run 3200mhz

#

Tried everything

fresh timber
hoary zodiac
#

scam price

fresh timber
#

my fav gpu ever

#

i like the nitro + 7000 series

hoary zodiac
#

it's XTX pricing

#

good card but it's XTX priced

#

great for OC tho

fresh timber
#

its a nitroooo

#

the nitros look soo goooododddd

rancid juniper
hoary zodiac
#

you can get a 7900XTX

rancid juniper
#

3100mhz fails too

fresh timber
#

i would buy this over a 4080s

#

just for the looks

hoary zodiac
#

XTX nitro is literally only $100 more

idle nexus
#

heck I wish I'd actually OCed 12th gen with DDR4

hoary zodiac
fresh timber
#

its $1012

fresh timber
hoary zodiac
#

I'd literally just spend the extra $100 or whatever on it

fresh timber
#

i wish i got the 7700xtx nitro

idle nexus
#

I needed like 1.4 CPU VDDQ to stabilize 7000 on 12900K but apples & oranges ig

hoary zodiac
#

getting a XT for over $700 is not worth it

rancid juniper
idle nexus
rancid juniper
#

XD

#

But I think this time it may work

fresh timber
hoary zodiac
#

that's msrp tbh

idle nexus
#

tRTP 8 & tWR 16 would be next then

fresh timber
#

normal price

hoary zodiac
#

the pulses are the best if you're not overclocking

fresh timber
#

used 4080 moggs

rancid juniper
hoary zodiac
#

very solidly build gpus

idle nexus
#

heckin MSI boards always set tCWL=tCL on default lol

hoary zodiac
#

you can never go wrong with sapphire

fresh timber
#

ong

#

sapphire is fire

hoary zodiac
#

usually sapphire costs more but this is msrp

#

near...

#

well no not msrp

fresh timber
#

oo

hoary zodiac
#

more like the status quo

fresh timber
#

9800x3ds are in stock now

wise wigeon
#

theyve been in stock

hoary zodiac
#

fresh timber
#

yeah, i thoguht only microcenter had them

wise wigeon
#

its just coming to you in march

fresh timber
#

nah amazon has them too

hoary zodiac
#

I don't trust scamazon

wise wigeon
#

?

hoary zodiac
#

at least the pricing

wise wigeon
#

you just check for the correct sellers

fresh timber
hoary zodiac
#

the price can be sus sometimes

fresh timber
#

its sold and shipped by amazon

wise wigeon
#

thats msrp bruv

fresh timber
#

???

#

im confused

#

how scam?

wise wigeon
#

anyway if you need a mobo too and fancy any of the ones in the newegg bundles thats prpobably the better bet

hoary zodiac
#

refresh the page

wise wigeon
#

says it'd come in on like wednesday for me

fresh timber
#

its not a scam??

#

ur just delulu

idle nexus
#

amazon is pretty good for returns in my experience at least

hoary zodiac
idle nexus
#

ebay buyer protection is like seller gets hecked lol

fresh timber
wise wigeon
#

its bad sellers for youur area

fresh timber
#

also ur australian

wise wigeon
#

like for me i could add it into my cart now

hoary zodiac
#

I really should use a VPN

wise wigeon
#

but do i really wanna wait til end of febuary or march for mine? not particullarly

fresh timber
#

i can buy this and not have a motherboard or ram to plug it into kek

tranquil pebble
#

if the Radeon MI50 comes and works, that ebay seller is getting a very good feedback

hoary zodiac
#

oh look

#

pcpartpicker fixed the scam 7900XT prices

wise wigeon
fresh timber
#

tbh

#

im not going to be able to upgrade my platform for cheap for anothe few years

#

or gpu kek

idle nexus
#

I have different NeoForzas but still 4400c19. Mine are DR DJR. This stuff is underappreciated in my opinion lol https://www.ebay.com/itm/256705561933?

Forza motorsport ramsport

#

jk 4533

wise wigeon
#

i need to decide if i want a fulltower or ssf

#

because if i go fulltower might as a well just get the bundles now

hoary zodiac
#

flip a coin

fresh timber
#

i got a case for u

idle nexus
#

I'm heavily biased towards full tower cuz cooling is better/easier; easier to build in; almost any major parts fit; & you can make it look really nice

wise wigeon
#

thats the case i intended to build in

fresh timber
#

i wanna use this case for my server but it doesnt seem to fit many 3.5inch drives

idle nexus
#

SFF is cool but never got into it

hoary zodiac
#

I've been looking for a SFF with drive bays

#

outside of dedicated nas case they don't come with more than 4 3.5"

wise wigeon
#

see the main reason for something like an a3 is it'd fit on my desk, probably get less sdusty and give me easy port access

tranquil pebble
idle nexus
#

just get some plastic standoffs & zip-its & mount the motherboard directly on the wall

#

no case

#

ez

wise wigeon
#

but it seems like not great to work in and cleaning seems like it'd be a pain

fresh timber
wise wigeon
#

well its lian liim sure its fine to work in

fresh timber
#

my current case i install the hdds in a unconvential way kek

hoary zodiac
#

you can do stupid thermaltake case shenanigans

wise wigeon
#

issue is i have sausage fingers and not nimble little racoon fingers

fresh timber
#

i screw the hdds on the case it self sense the masterbox q300l has a bunch of holes that conviently fit hdd screws

idle nexus
#

I enjoy thermaltake case shenanigans lol

fresh timber
idle nexus
#

what other case gives me plenty of space for copper plumbing pipes from Home Depot?

fresh timber
#

look at it

#

all those holes

#

for fun

#

im also inlove with the newer verson of this case

hoary zodiac
idle nexus
#

copper pipe is a lot cheaper than PETG pipe for some ridiculous reason lol

#

economies of scale ig

#

lol that TT case is ancient

fresh timber
hoary zodiac
#

not that many

#

unless you 3d print custom parts

fresh timber
#

ugh

hoary zodiac
#

or just

fresh timber
#

i just need 4 and smalllll

hoary zodiac
#

get a piece of wood

#

screw the hdds in

fresh timber
#

jank

#

no

wise wigeon
#

like 4 2.5 or 4 3.5

idle nexus
#

I thought you meant this type of TT case shenanigans

fresh timber
#

why do u have to cost soo much

pliant berry
wise wigeon
#

that is not that expensive

fresh timber
#

3d print tubes for ur waterloop

hoary zodiac
#

that's pretty reasonably priced

fresh timber
#

my nv5 cost less 😢

idle nexus
#

well maybe not

wise wigeon
#

cheaper than a fractal terra or north

idle nexus
#

it's incredibly difficult to bend well

#

so I had to get extra fittings

hoary zodiac
#

you can always get an ancient case

#

or an massive case

misty sparrow
idle nexus
#

motherboard is sideways

#

GPU go up

fresh timber
#

ima just jank my way thorugh this

misty sparrow
#

I will give it props for being a unique design that has no relation to anime

fresh timber
#

daily reminder that if i shut my server off i have no itnernet

idle nexus
#

they also have a stand you can get to put it back to normal kinda

dusk knot
fresh timber
dusk knot
hoary zodiac
#

that is so stupid looking

#

I love it

dusk knot
#

I don't like it

#

Return to tradition

fresh timber
#

i wanna build in this

hoary zodiac
#

airflow?

fresh timber
#

who needs it

#

??

idle nexus
#

Tower 200 is tiny

hoary zodiac
#

average NZXT user

dusk knot
#

Right? PCs don't have lungs

idle nexus
#

all those Towers have little screen add-ons you can get too lol

fresh timber
#

as long as i dont thermal throttle idc what my temps are kek

idle nexus
hoary zodiac
#

why is there a screen on it

idle nexus
#

I saw the Tower 200 in Japan for the first time in-person

#

that thing is TINY

hoary zodiac
#

they're going to ask $100 more for tha tiny screen

idle nexus
#

lol the same reason there's a screen on anything inside a PC/on the case

hoary zodiac
#

screens are the biggest gimmick

idle nexus
#

Tower 200 is SFF

misty sparrow
#

if there’s a screen on a case 90% of the time someone’s gonna put anime stuff on there

hoary zodiac
#

pretty sure you can DIY a screen yourself for cheaper than some of the screen case prices

idle nexus
fresh timber
#

tell that to this person

fresh timber
wise wigeon
fresh timber
#

i want a y70 touch

hoary zodiac
#

my argument is always

#

"are you going to look at your monitor or are you going to look at your pc"

fresh timber
#

my pc

#

duh

#

i spent so mcuh on it i have to look at it

hoary zodiac

nzxt consumer moment

fresh timber
#

the nzxt discord is funny

they decline all scamming acucations

hoary zodiac
wise wigeon
#

what are they going broke because theyt cant pay pc rent?

fresh timber
#

wanan know the the most useless thing i want?

#

wise wigeon
#

idle nexus
hoary zodiac
#

fresh timber
#

im bored of my russian supporting deepcool aio kek

fresh timber
#

i lerk their sometimes on my alt and its just people posting gamer nexus and mods and such sayting : erm not true 🤓

wise wigeon
hoary zodiac
#

NZXT doesn't make anything good

#

that's the funny stuff

#

their products are turds dressed as gold

fresh timber
#

i wanted thier lcd aio but its nzxt

dusk knot
#

Hm

hoary zodiac
#

ok surely someone else makes a better aio with a screen on it

fresh timber
#

lian li does 🙂

hoary zodiac
#

for cheaper

#

see

sweet phoenix
#

And thermalright

idle nexus
#

what's the best [gpu, cpu, etc.] company? the one with the best price to performance or the one with the best performance overall. I'm not team red, green, blue, etc. I don't care. I don't trust any of them & I don't care lol

dusk knot
#

I will keep my 3080ti til it can't run that new game I really want to play.

sweet phoenix
hoary zodiac
#

NZXT cases are hotboxes designed to be marketable

#

not as good cases

wise wigeon
fresh timber
fresh timber
dusk knot
hoary zodiac
#

remember how long it took them to release the 5600 and 5700X?

#

very sus

wise wigeon
#

actually thats not cheaper then the nzxt

fresh timber
idle nexus
#

if NZedXT came out with an excellent product for a great price, I'd buy NZed. I don't think that's going to happen so I'll continue to hate on them in the meantime lol

wise wigeon
#

the lian li one at least

hoary zodiac
#

and remember when they said they were pulling ryzen 5000 support from B450?

hoary zodiac
#

this is what happens when people fanboy

#

AMD gets to do that and get away

fresh timber
#

wanna know w hat makes me mad

sweet phoenix
fresh timber
#

no more deepcool

idle nexus
#

ya but they didn't. Not because they cared about consumers but because listening to consumers makes them money

fresh timber
#

i cant buy matching deepcool fans

wise wigeon
#

its just nvidia has enough marketshare to ignore most of that

hoary zodiac
#

just look at asus

idle nexus
#

companies who don't play the long game are either desperate or stupid

hoary zodiac
#

they had to bend to GN because the negative press they were getting

idle nexus
#

ya because screwing over RMAs might pump up quarterly numbers but they lose customers long-term

wise wigeon
#

i mean asus has never had a flawless rep

hoary zodiac
#

asus is mid imo

#

they make some good stuff

fresh timber
#

asus is chill

hoary zodiac
#

TUF is good

#

laptops are decent

fresh timber
#

i like tuff

wise wigeon
#

they just make ok stuff sometimes

hoary zodiac
#

rest are either meh or garbage

fresh timber
#

bad

#

bad

#

my asus laptop sucked

hoary zodiac
#

as I said

#

they're mid

idle nexus
#

Apex motherboard is usually the best

fresh timber
hoary zodiac
#

you bought a crappy asus laptop

#

that's what happened

wise wigeon
#

like remember when everyone was obsessed with the b450 tomahawk

fresh timber
#

mines had bad perofrmance if it wasnt plugged into a monitor

idle nexus
#

MSI's flagship godlike is a joke

hoary zodiac
#

doesn't mean they're all bad

wise wigeon
#

but most of the time i wouldn't touch msi

fresh timber
#

it was tuf

#

i will never buy a asus tuf again

hoary zodiac
#

which one?

fresh timber
#

tuf dash f15

idle nexus
#

you'd have to be a moron or someone who actually needs whatever features make it $1200 to buy it

wise wigeon
#

you got the worst asus laptop and you're complaining

hoary zodiac
#

did you buy the blocked vent one

#

AHAHAH

#

AHAHAHHAHAHAHAH

idle nexus
#

it's okay

#

I...

fresh timber
#

i didnt buy it

#

it was a gift

idle nexus
#

I own a SurfaceBook 3

#

it's not easy to admit but

safe cape
#

fdghjqioerjgpmsf

idle nexus
#

it's true

fresh timber
#

it didnt have tempture issues

wise wigeon
#

didnt the tufs have hinge issues

fresh timber
#

only issues mines had was lack of mux switch

hoary zodiac
#

TUF laptops are... ok

fresh timber
#

everything els about it was good

misty sparrow
#

can I get some of them temp issues?

hoary zodiac
#

Strix and Zephyrus are generally solid

fresh timber
#

i want mac book

hoary zodiac
#

ok

wise wigeon
#

if its a gaming laptop i just default to legion if there isnt other features i'd like

fresh timber
misty sparrow
#

I’ve seen the M1 MacBook go for $600

fresh timber
hoary zodiac
#

some of them are upgradable right?

wise wigeon
#

i mean airs are cheap

misty sparrow
#

So where’s the money

wise wigeon
#

and now they come with 16 gb ram

hoary zodiac
#

solid heatpipes and non soldered ram

fresh timber
#

i waant but ima wait for more graudation gifts to buy it kek

idle nexus
#

SurfaceBook3 overheats if you open the Start menu & you can't do anything about it because the motherboard is taped in behind the screen so you either need to be the most amazing person who has ever taken electronics apart of accept the inevitable screen crack if you try to repaste it lol

wise wigeon
hoary zodiac
#

yeah that's the pain with laptop purchases

#

I spent weeks looking for my current laptop

wise wigeon
#

the thinner ones are soldered

fresh timber
#

theirs a reason im only buying macs now kek

#

laptops are confusing

#

and with the new dell stuff.. im good

hoary zodiac
#

because heatpipes, soldered ram, gpu vram, m.2 slots

#

not very fun

idle nexus
fresh timber
#

i aint buying something designed to be confusing

hoary zodiac
#

laptops are a pain

wise wigeon
#

but any thin laptop isgonna have soldered ram now

hoary zodiac
#

even business laptops?

idle nexus
#

I can't even swap the NVMe cuz it's also behind the stupid screen

hoary zodiac
#

fresh timber
#

ima buy a 1tb mac or 512gb and an external drive and call it a day kek

hoary zodiac
wise wigeon
#

fresh timber

Justified concern

Nobody wants rootkits

wise wigeon
#

i have a friend in med school and they had to buy ipads for exams

idle nexus
#

even in the teardown, they crack the screen more!

fresh timber
#

logging into my school onedrive on my desktop arleady tries to control my stuff.. let alone their own software

wise wigeon
#

rather that then a mac

dusk knot
#

What types of iPads?

#

They don't need a pro 💀

fresh timber
wise wigeon
#

at least air or higher i think

hoary zodiac
#

no

#

Get an old sandy bridge or something

wise wigeon
#

so like $500

fresh timber
#

hey professior, my computer doesnt work

#

its a chromebook

idle nexus

they basically give away ancient laptops

im having my mom dig up my old gaming laptop with a 1050 in it

going to mod it

idle nexus
#

my surfacebook3 has a gtx1660ti in it

fresh timber
#

taking motherboard out, put a cpu cooler ontop of the heat sync, and unpllugging the built in fans

hoary zodiac
idle nexus
#

put liquid metal on it

hoary zodiac
#

Whg does a surface have a 1660ti

fresh timber
# hoary zodiac Why

boeing oyu think a 1050 laptop and a unknown cpu can be fine if i slap a cpu cooler ontop of the heat pipes?

hoary zodiac
#

Why are you asking me

fresh timber
#

ur smart

#

i have a hyper212 i can slap on top

idle nexus
#

I put liquid metal on an old Asus laptop with 970m. It ran so cool. Also ThrottleStop on laptops before the stupid plundervolt microcode update is awesome

hoary zodiac

I don't even know what kind of jank you want to do but

#

I'm not liable

#

For anything that happens

fresh timber

LM on a laptop?

idle nexus
#

I put it on my Asus laptop lol

wise wigeon
#

so many have it now

fresh timber
#

o..

idle nexus
fresh timber
#

i remember whats wrong with my old laptop

wise wigeon
#

like all rog laptops swapped over to it

fresh timber
#

the cpu is a t 90c 24/7, one of the fans doesnt work

wise wigeon
#

do i trust asus with that though

#

not really

fresh timber
#

the cpu is always downclcoked

hoary zodiac
#

I trust Asus tbh

fresh timber
#

funan turn it into a server kek

wise wigeon
#

yeah i almost always disable turbo on gaming laptops

hoary zodiac
#

Strix and Zephyrus are usually solid

idle nexus
#

surfacebook3 after disassembly (all that crap was in the top part behind the screen btw)

hoary zodiac
#

Tuf?

#

Ehhhh

#

Tuf is a mixed bag

#

Some can be good

#

can be...

wise wigeon
#

that sub 10% fps dont matter enough to me if i can drop temps by like 20C

nocturne flicker
idle nexus
hoary zodiac
#

So it's more a matter of applying the LM correctly

wise wigeon
#

thats what i did on intel ones

nocturne flicker
#

Made my 10750h stop thermal throttling

wise wigeon
#

for amd i just do the power plan thing

hoary zodiac
#

I use auto-cpufreq

wise wigeon
#

I had a 8750h at one point

hoary zodiac
#

pretty handy for managing battery on ryzen laptops

#

And I almost exclusively game with the igpu these days

idle nexus
hoary zodiac
#

Capped at 60fps because 300Hz is stupid for the games I play

wise wigeon
#

i mean you can still disable turbo by messing with powerplan

hoary zodiac
#

Yeah

#

I think auto-cpufreq lets me disable turbo too

idle nexus
#

my old Asus laptop has 6700HQ & Throttlestop works wonders

nocturne flicker
wise wigeon
#

just set the max cpu power to 99%

idle nexus
#

I could max out max core ratio on all cores & not throttle

nocturne flicker
#

Throttlestop doesn't work for mine

idle nexus
hoary zodiac
#

On my 8250u laptop I set the max cpu frequency to slightly under the max speed

idle nexus
nocturne flicker
#

There are work arounds if you can find certain bios version iirc

hoary zodiac
#

Turbo is always off on battery

idle nexus
#

81C with throttlestop/liquid metal on ycruncher lol

nocturne flicker
#

But laptop bios version are uh...very difficult to find

hoary zodiac
#

HQ

#

Haven't seen those in ages

idle nexus
#

it's old as heck ya

wise wigeon
#

go into power options > processor power management > maximum processor state from 100% to 99%

#

effectively disables turbo if you dont have the tools to undervolt

idle nexus
#

lol worse

#

I have a SurfaceGo2

#

I haven't turned it on in like a year

wise wigeon
#

runnignwindows

idle nexus
#

Android tablets are way better

#

lol

nocturne flicker
#

Or just use XTU to make the turbo very short so you still get some turbo

idle nexus
#

I got almost all the No. 1s for 4425Y CPU in that stupid SurfaceGo2 on HWbot tho lol

wise wigeon
#

it'll really depend on how much loss in performance you had

idle nexus
#

getting XTU to run on unsupported processor is annoying lol

wise wigeon
#

i lost like maybe at max 10% and it never went past 70c again

#

and that just gives me piece of mind

idle nexus
#

this piece of crap came with DDR3 in 2021 lol

nocturne flicker
#

931.97mhz

idle nexus
#

ycruncher 1b took over 20 minutes

wise wigeon
#

you guys ever look back on console specs and go wtf

idle nexus
#

for reference, 13900KS takes about 15 seconds for the same benchmark

wise wigeon
#

like its a wonder how anything ran on the 3ds

idle nexus
#

lol ya they're pathetic in hindsight

wise wigeon
#

thing had a dual core arm chip running at 268 mhz

#

6 mb vram

idle nexus
#

lol it also goes to show you

#

what hardware can accomplish if it's made for gaming

#

instead of bogged down by the mountain of crap windows runs

wise wigeon
#

new 3ds was actually a massive upgrade

#

quad core arm chip at 804 mhz

idle nexus
#

heck

#

I want SteamOS

#

I'll dual boot it or something

wise wigeon
#

i like my steam deck but i wouldn't daily drive steam os yet

idle nexus
#

too bad the only AMD cards I have are ancient

#

I probably wouldn't daily drive it

#

but I'd be down to restart & use it for gaming

wise wigeon
#

i remember on my crappy phenom 2 965 and hd 7750 i tried to hacintosh it

idle nexus
#

lol I never tried that

wise wigeon
#

i got it to boot and stuff but no usable drivers

idle nexus
#

I did put ChromeOS on a laptop once

#

that was pointless

wise wigeon
#

first pc i built i was a victum of bulldozer

idle nexus
#

lol

wise wigeon
#

fx8350 was a genuine space heater

#

my next pc is my current one

hoary zodiac
#

You should overclock it for the funnies

wise wigeon
#

10700k was a good bundle deal with a z490 aorus elite ac

#

i originally had a 2070 super due to stock issues

#

because i knew about the evga stepup

#

i bought the 2070 super at msrp and just waited

#

which honestly was better

#

if i had got it at heavy discount i woulda paid more in taxes

#

because they tax the difference between what you paid for it and the msrp of the replacement card

dusk knot
#

We started with the same card

fresh timber
#

That’s what I did with my legion go before I returned her

hoary zodiac
#

🤨

#

Like in a vm?

#

Handhelds don't like grub?

fresh timber
#

Let me explain

craggy shoal
#

Like a portal to your other partition

fresh timber
#

In Linux it can grab the boot efi of the windows install

#

And what motor said

#

It just reboots you into the windows partition

craggy shoal
#

Sounds sick asf and I’ve never heard of it and now I want to try it

hoary zodiac
#

grub doesn't work?

fresh timber
#

People do that with bazzite

fresh timber
hoary zodiac
#

ah so just laziness

fresh timber
#

It’s faster so yes laziness

#

I only used windows for the 4 games that didn’t work on Linux so it made sense

hoary zodiac
#

bazzite starts in big picture mode right?

fresh timber
#

Yes

hoary zodiac
#

Makes sense

fresh timber
#

Thus you make it a steam game

#

You click the “game” and your system boots to windows

hoary zodiac
#

So it just launches a script

#

I see

#

Fascinating

#

That's actually pretty neat for an "immersive" console experience

fresh timber
hoary zodiac
#

As immersive as booting up windows can be

fresh timber
hoary zodiac
#

neat

fresh timber
#

And you just add the games that don’t work and ur done

hoary zodiac
#

I'm more interested in making an arcade machine

#

With a crap ton of emulators

fresh timber
#

Now sense windows is poo, you have to restart and it just boots to bazzite

hoary zodiac
#

Bootloader should have bazzite on default

#

Unless you change it

fresh timber
#

Yup

#

If you restart windows it just boots to bazzite

hoary zodiac
#

I want to get an old ryzen and load retroarch onto it

fresh timber
#

Do It

hoary zodiac
#

Like an all-in-one arcade machine

#

Or maybe I'll repurpose some old hardware

#

Haswell vm?

fresh timber
#

People power their arcades with steam decks

hoary zodiac
#

The igpu is great

#

You can emulate a lot of consoles with it

fresh timber
#

I’m exited for the new z2 extreme

#

Most powerful handheld chip

hoary zodiac
#

I wonder...

#

If retroarch can run on a mac mini

fresh timber
#

Prob

#

Just buy a cheap mini pc with ryzen and call it a day dawg

hoary zodiac
#

Mac mini is more for ps3 emulation

#

Cell architecture is emulator dev's worst nightmare

#

Some games run well on lower spec

#

Some games won't even run

fresh timber
#

Imagine if emulation gets so good that you can talk to Sony servers and it think your a real ps5, ps3 etc

hoary zodiac
#

Well

#

That'd involve some legal shenanigans

fresh timber
#

I’ll happily steal the hidden codes in my ps5 to make it work

hoary zodiac
#

Yeah that's the illegal part unfortunately

#

Sony might let it slide

#

But Nintendo will kill you

tranquil pebble
fresh timber
#

I find it crazy that it’s illegal to decrypt things you own your self

hoary zodiac
#

It's reasonable to a certain point

tranquil pebble
fresh timber
#

Distributing it is a distant story

hoary zodiac
#

If you're not allowed to format shift that's stupid

#

Because dvds can rot

fresh timber
#

i dont understand

hoary zodiac
#

That's the part of copy protection I have issues with

fresh timber
#

if i own it i should be able to do anything i want with it besdies distrabute

hoary zodiac
#

Distribution is illegal and I stand by that

fresh timber
#

agreed

hoary zodiac
#

But it's your copy

fresh timber
#

excatly

hoary zodiac
#

You OWN it

fresh timber
#

get better encrpytion then??

hoary zodiac
#

You should be able to shift the format for legitimate reasons

#

Like

fresh timber
#

legally, if you own it you should be able to do ANYthing you want with it

hoary zodiac
#

A lot of pirates don't do it because they're too cheap to pay/can't afford it

fresh timber
#

if u aint talking to sony, nintendo, etc servers or using any of their products besides what you physicly own, i dont see an issue

hoary zodiac
#

It's because they can't access it

#

The problem is streaming services and distribution services

fresh timber
#

bro

#

disney plus looks so bad on pc

hoary zodiac
#

Exactly

fresh timber
#

it looks like its 3mbps bitrate at 480p

hoary zodiac
#

You pay more for an inferior copy

fresh timber
#

but on my ps5 it looks fine

hoary zodiac
#

Blu ray is cheaper in the long run

#

Sometimes even dvd beats streaming

fresh timber
#

i wanna start buying dvds

#

i haev a jellyfin server

hoary zodiac
#

Dvds are dirt cheap at goodwill

fresh timber
hoary zodiac
#

Or charity shops

#

Dvds are great

#

You can get a crap ton of them for dirt cheap

#

Or free even

#

Garage sales, thrift stores, even big box electronic stores have dvds for cheap

fresh timber
#

i just hate how shows are online exclusives

hoary zodiac
#

You're locked to 576p sure

fresh timber
#

streaming exclusive, more like excuse to give us low bitrate slop

hoary zodiac
#

But the bitrate is better

hoary zodiac
#

Sometimes streaming exclusives are remasters

fresh timber
#

oo

#

i want

tranquil pebble
#

streaming exclusives can rot

fresh timber
#

i watched this series at 480p 2mbps slop

#

🤮

#

i couldnt even enjoy it cause i couldnt see anything that was dark

#

like wow a dark show, and i cant see anything in the dark

#

and its all pixelated 🤮

hoary zodiac
#

I want a VHS set of the original star wars trilogy

#

Before george lucas messed with it

fresh timber
#

i wanna rip every single movie i can find

#

but i dont have the storage for it

hoary zodiac
#

And another thing

#

Physical media is great for preservation

fresh timber
#

one of my friends has 300+tb of storage just for ripping media

hoary zodiac
#

If you go on Netflix and look for Star Trek

#

You can only find the remastered

#

Some of the blu ray releases have both original and remastered vfx

fresh timber
#

in their defense starwars better start trek slop

hoary zodiac
#

They're superior in period

hoary zodiac
fresh timber
#

real

#

so real

hoary zodiac
#

The Force Awakens had potential

#

But the next movies were so horribly mismanaged

fresh timber
#

ray skywalker? no your ray palptine

hoary zodiac
#

We could've had a decent sequel trilogy but no

worthy tapir
#

somehow palpatine returned

hoary zodiac
#

These writers are incompetent as hell

fresh timber
#

he returned for plot

#

thats it

hoary zodiac
#

And the director feud too

fresh timber
#

these movies dont even have lightsaber action

#

FIn should have been a jedi not ray

hoary zodiac
#

I'm fine with Rey

#

But Finn was a MASSIVE missed opportunity

fresh timber
#

FOR REAL

hoary zodiac
#

He was shelved for the second 2 movies

#

Same with Poe

#

Like really?

fresh timber
#

HE SHOULD HAVE BEeN FORCE SENESATIVE TOO

hoary zodiac
#

Why have all these characters

fresh timber
#

MY TAKE

hoary zodiac
#

When you're going to shelf them

fresh timber
#

FOR REAL

#

wannan know what they should do

hoary zodiac
#

The story arc of going from a stormtrooper to a jedi would've been so much more interesting than what we got imo

hoary zodiac
#

Rey is a fine character but Finn is way more interesting

#

As a protagonist

fresh timber
#

i could see both being jedi

#

working toghter

hoary zodiac
#

Yes

#

They could play off each other

#

One force sensitive

fresh timber
#

i just think finn should be the one with the force

#

hands down

hoary zodiac
#

It could be either or both

fresh timber
#

then kylo ren

hoary zodiac
#

The characters just shouldn't have been wasted like that

fresh timber
#

im still confused aboutihm

ancient swift
#

Both do but they kept writing Finn into the back

hoary zodiac
#

If you watch the force awakens without hindsight

#

It's s fine movie

fresh timber
#

**how the flip is kylo ren a sith

#

i need to read on this

#

what went wrong

hoary zodiac
#

You can even argue it's pretty good without hindsight

ancient swift
fresh timber
ancient swift
#

but his comic run was pretty good and explains his fall to the dark side

hoary zodiac
#

More like first order

fresh timber
#

o

hoary zodiac
#

Sith died with palpatine

fresh timber
#

gotcha

hoary zodiac
#

And Vader

fresh timber
#

so hes first order

#

why did he become first order

#

.

#

did his parents not love him

ancient swift
hoary zodiac
#

The plot demanded drama

ancient swift
fresh timber
#

o..

hoary zodiac
#

Yeah that's was the plot of TFA

fresh timber
#

welp i can see he turned evil kek

hoary zodiac
#

Kylo has daddy issues

fresh timber
#

he killed his daddy

ancient swift
#

They felt like a hidden dark in him. Han was scared and ran off. Leia sent him to study with Luke.

hoary zodiac
#

Character assassination btw

hoary zodiac
#

For the legacy characters

#

You just don't expect a figure as revered as Han Solo to just run off

fresh timber
#

if anything tells me anything about starwars, if these characters just got love and understanding 99% of the problems wouldnt exist

hoary zodiac
#

At that point he was a General

#

He was a war hero

#

TFA reversed all his character growth from the OT

fresh timber
hoary zodiac
#

It's just not realistic

#

Or compelling

ancient swift
#

People handle failure differently

fresh timber
#

if my kid had a hiddne dark, im going to make sure the dark doesnt come out

#

like ru stupid

hoary zodiac
#

Still they practically hit the reset button with his character

fresh timber
#

show bro love and he prob wouldnt have become what he became

hoary zodiac
#

Throughout the OT Han Solo learned to become a less selfish person

fresh timber
#

NOPE he sense darkness and dipped

#

bum

#

deserved to die

ancient swift
fresh timber
#

i call this, poor wrtiing for plot

hoary zodiac
#

Like you'd think the Solo after Return of the Jedi would be a different person

ancient swift
#

you gotta read the Kylo Ren comics

fresh timber
#

give me a tldr

ancient swift
#

Rise of Kylo Ren is the series

fresh timber
#

im lazy

hoary zodiac
#

Do the comics have better writing than the movies?

ancient swift
#

Yeah

hoary zodiac
#

lmao

#

That's the same with Star Trek

fresh timber
#

and why cant they.. copy the comics kek

hoary zodiac
#

The spinoffs have better writing

fresh timber
#

i will never understand moden disney

#

all the og disney stuff was so good

#

then it went to poo

hoary zodiac
#

They use Legends lore as fan services

#

And it's cheap

ancient swift
#

also leia's books would be important cause thats what started the rifts between Leia, Han, the New Republic, and Ben

fresh timber
#

hear me out, the empire is better the jedi what ever their called

#

empire, doesnt kidnap children

hoary zodiac
#

They're both bad

fresh timber
#

downside to empire, do bad you get killed

#

vader up the butt

hoary zodiac
#

You're looking at an extremely corrupt and decadent republic vs an authoritarian regime

ancient swift
hoary zodiac
#

The republic fell for a reason

ancient swift
#

Dooku is a good example lol. His backstory is crazzzyyy

fresh timber
#

intresting

#

starwars makes my brain hurt

#

😦

hoary zodiac
#

The Clone Wars does a pretty good job of showing some perspective from the CIS

fresh timber
hoary zodiac
#

The separatists weren't all like the Republican propaganda portrayed

fresh timber
#

how did palpatine hide his darkside

ancient swift
#

His dad who owned a planet abandoned him cause he thought the force made him a monster.

Like legit left him to die, didn't even give him to the Jedi

hoary zodiac
#

They just wanted out of the corrupt republic

#

They were being exploited

#

And the Jedi council were just a bunch of corrupt old fools at the point of the late republic

ancient swift
sinful blade
#

Star Wars < Star Trek

fresh timber
#

u watch the space lesbian show they made? the force can do alot more than push and pull people kek

I heard y'all Halo fans have had a rough couple years

fresh timber
#

halo movie

hoary zodiac
#

TV series not good?

fresh timber
#

we should get a kal kestis show

hoary zodiac
#

Welcome to the sci-fi slop club

ancient swift
hoary zodiac
#

Sci fi fans don't get anything good

hoary zodiac
#

At least great for its time

ancient swift
hoary zodiac
#

Clone Wars had quite a bit of depth for being a children's TV show

fresh timber
#

they should make a movie based on jedi survior and fallen order.. unironicly better stories than the movies kek

misty sparrow
#

Halo 5 was released ten years ago

hoary zodiac
#

You can't say that the OT is as bad as attack of the clones

#

At least you don't have "I don't like sand"

ancient swift
hoary zodiac
#

Ah that's fair

misty sparrow
#

I’ve never seen a Star Wars film

ancient swift
#

everything has great scenes and...not so great scenes

hoary zodiac
#

Return of the Jedi does have quite a bit of.... Shenanigans and bad writing

#

It's good because of the previous movies

ancient swift
#

Attack of the Clones and Rise of Skywalker are my least favorite of the movies

hoary zodiac
#

Same

ancient swift
#

Unironically I like Phantom Menace more than Revenge of the sith

hoary zodiac
#

Really?

ancient swift
#

Pod racing is dope

hoary zodiac
#

Darth Maul too

ancient swift
#

and Darth Maul too?

hoary zodiac
#

Ayyy

#

That lightsaber battle is epic as hell

#

Revenge of the Sith is good to bridge the prequels to the OT

ancient swift
#

I don't HATE revenge of the sith. I just think it had way too much talking and a lot of the emotion is really forced cause it had a limited run time.

hoary zodiac
#

That's probably why it gets a good rep among SW fans

#

Yeah they condensed a lot of lore onto one movie

ancient swift
#

Revenge of the Sith would have been better if they split it into a Part 1 and Part 2

misty sparrow
#

What did you both think of the newer films

#

Force Awakens and all that

hoary zodiac
#

Force Awakens had a lot of potential, later movies ruined it

ancient swift
#

Cause until TCW, the jedi we see die on screen didn't really matter in Revenge of the Sith. They were barely characters. Actually fleshing them out would have been nice.

fresh timber
#

wtf is the diffrence? whos a ram expert

hoary zodiac
#

TCW did a lot to flesh out characters and the universe

#

Also deeper storytelling that you never see in SW movies

misty sparrow
hoary zodiac
#

You're getting Star Trek level of depth

ancient swift
#

I liked TFA, The Last Jedi has its moments I like and moments I think are a bit goofy. Rise of Skywalker I don't like but I think it pulled the poetry right that Lucas would have wanted with the finale.

hoary zodiac
#

Or Babylon 5

#

THE SEQUELS NEVER HAPPENED

misty sparrow

Just like everything after Halo 3

Palpatine did the same dang plan 3 times lul

I get everyone hated that movie but still

I've been reading a bunch of the Legends material It's so much better

What Disney did ..... The franchise is never going to recover

hoary zodiac
#

Yeah it was very cliche

#

Stupid movie

hoary zodiac
ancient swift
#

I despise the New Jedi Order books because you have a lot of star wars fans now talking about how the Empire was actually good. Ignoring the several genocides and stuff they do. Other than that the EU is good.

hoary zodiac

They don't care about the franchise they care about the cash

To me Legends content is just stories told in universe. so still canon but details might be a bit embellished
