Got it for Christmas

#

Cools the cpu with ease

hoary zodiac
#

Nice

hoary zodiac
#

I don't like Noctua's thermal price/performance

#

But it's worth it's price in acoustic performance

surreal comet
#

For a gift I won't complain I have zero issues with it

#

Barely makes a noise

hoary zodiac
#

Yeah it's great if you're looking for the acoustic performance rather than thermal

surreal comet
#

Insane to think my 5800x3d drew more power than the 7800x3d in here now

hoary zodiac
#

Actually that's pretty unfair

#

Noctuas are great for ALL ROUND performance

#

The price IS worth it for people who value acoustics

#

My laptop cooling pad has two NF-F12 Chromax fans

surreal comet
#

They know their market

#

Gotta hand it to them

hoary zodiac
#

They're VERY SILENT

sinful blade
#

I just do not like the look

#

It’s an awful colour to look at imo

hoary zodiac
surreal comet
#

I got no rgb I ain't seeing the inside of this thing anyways

hoary zodiac
surreal comet
#

🙏

hoary zodiac
#

Chromax is great

hoary zodiac
#

It's just the regular noctuas that look ugly

surreal comet
#

I never had an issue with the looks tbf

sinful blade
hoary zodiac
#

Nah

#

Or me it screams premium

surreal comet
#

A fan can be as ugly as sin but as long as it's silent and cool I don't care kekw

hoary zodiac
#

You know it's a high end pc when it's got the signature noctua beige and brown

#

It's sorta a status symbol in itself

surreal comet
#

A PC so baller it surpasses the need to look good

sinful blade
#

I’m gonna bully whoever uses Noctua fans for everything

mortal grail
hoary zodiac
#

Noctuas are good if you value acoustics as much as thermals

surreal comet
#

I used noctua fans in my Honda Civic

hoary zodiac
#

They're worth their price if you can value everything they offer

mortal grail
craggy shoal
#

Noctua for everything tbh

surreal comet
#

Looks be damned performance is performance imo

#

Especially when it comes to fans

hoary zodiac
#

Like

#

The NH-D15 is a massive cooler

#

Nothing too fancy

#

But damn is it quiet

surreal comet
#

Trust me if I had money

#

Id throw in 5 noctua fans in here

#

And call it a day

#

I'm sure the included ones with the case are fine though

hoary zodiac
#

I have three spare noctua fans in my closet

surreal comet
#

You never know when you need one

#

I think they look fine

fresh timber
surreal comet
#

I've personally never had an issue with the look

sinful blade
#

No idea why it’s in German but whatever

hoary zodiac
#

A NF-P12 Chromax and 2x NF-S12A

Really?

In the aviation industry?

My friend that works at the gate for Southwest just got assaulted with another woman's blood the other day

hoary zodiac
#

There's another one?

fresh timber
hoary zodiac
#

I'm confused now

rigid sinew
#

yeah it wasnt covid

#

there were like hundreds of FAA employees that were fired

nocturne flicker
#

A ton of the people in air traffic control and other related agencies got fired because why not

hoary zodiac
#

Post covid?

hoary zodiac
#

I guess I expected common sense to exist

nocturne flicker
#

No, the past month and half

hoary zodiac

Now I get it

rigid sinew

#

Oh

#

Does that have something to do with the black hawk incident too?

rigid sinew
#

yeah

hoary zodiac
#

I'm assuming from the context I've been given that the aviation industry shortage hits the US the hardest

rigid sinew
#

but also i have a consipiracy theory about that

#

even pilots are speaking up about not wanting to fly

mortal grail
rigid sinew
#

the first plane crash started with the korean plane that hit a wall when it landed

hoary zodiac
#

I have tons of respect for the FAA and how safe air travel is...was

velvet summit
#

a wall???

rigid sinew
#

yeah, honestly a lot of people lost jobs but thats one place where we should not be firing bc now people are losing their lives

hoary zodiac
#

It's sad that one of the safest form of travel is becoming risky again

misty sparrow
#

I remember a guy who accidentally kept tiny fireworks in his backpack and it got through TSA

#

they only noticed when the guy checked his bag and brought it up

rigid sinew
velvet summit

💀

hoary zodiac
#

Guess the post-9/11 air travel safety is slipping

rigid sinew
velvet summit
#

one of

rigid sinew
#

my dad inspects airplane parts and he legit says he will never fly cause it is just not safe

hoary zodiac
#

Flying is safe because of how strict they are

misty sparrow
#

Well I thought for flying, if you're not on a Boeing you should be fine

velvet summit
#

at least back when regulations werent slipping off

hoary zodiac
#

And how little human error is generally

rigid sinew
#

its safe in regards to not being killed by another human being by a weapon but not in general

hoary zodiac
#

Anything made before the Boeing-MD merger is good

rigid sinew
#

just walk - do it forest gump style

misty sparrow
#

i think it was just faults with only the 737 max

hoary zodiac
#

737 Max, 787

misty sparrow
#

hm

#

no base 737?

hoary zodiac
#

Dreamliner is safer but eh

misty sparrow
#

or was that pre merger

hoary zodiac
#

737 is DECADES old

#

It's a proven platform

#

The max was an attempt to stretch out an old design

misty sparrow
#

-# if 737 was made today it wouldn't be usable beyond 15 years

hoary zodiac
#

In the way they shouldn't be

misty sparrow
#

but if it works it works

nocturne flicker
hoary zodiac
#

The 737 is amazing

#

737 Max not so much

rigid sinew
#

i wanna hear yalls consipiracy theories

hoary zodiac
#

Boeing-MD merger

surreal comet
#

They just lie to you

hoary zodiac
#

Instead of boeing merging MD

#

Boeing paid MD

#

And then their management took over

#

And ran boeing into the ground as MD 2.0

#

That's my boeing theory

A group of oligarchs are seizing control of the country even as we speak in order to destroy anything regulating their actions and allowing widespread chaos and misery. Oh wait derpyBlob

I can post the synopsis for Babylon 5 and it would be applicable to the present day

#

i think that big hamburger doesnt want us to eat cheap burgers so they're raising the prices of the burgers

rigid sinew
#

no - ignoring politics cause that will start some issues

misty sparrow
#

hm okay

surreal comet
#

My conspiracy is that automakers are naming heir traditional motors worse to make hybrids and electric cars look better

velvet summit
#

wdym

mortal grail
misty sparrow
#

mine was similar in that automakers are purposefully using cheaper materials and less refined production to make their products last less forcing you to buy more repairs and vehicles

somber skiff
surreal comet
#

We had basic combustion engines in the 90s pushing 40-50mpgs and now cars need to be hybrid to achieve the same thing

velvet summit
surreal comet
#

It's just my little conspiracy #imo

nocturne flicker
#

Nah bruh, that is just normal incompetence. Their EVs and hybrids have disgustingly simple problems that they didn't bother caring about

velvet summit
#

those are freebies

#

you literally cant get less than 1 star

#

this system is broken

rigid sinew
surreal comet
#

I travel in my mind

somber skiff
velvet summit
#

cant get far in a short period of time on a bus

rigid sinew
#

one plane crash can kill over 100 people

velvet summit
#

biking is probably not safer because of cars wanting to run you off the road

rigid sinew
nocturne flicker
#

Also, you forget that US car makers pivoted away from fuel efficiency in the 1990s because desire for fuel efficiency wasn't hip anymore

misty sparrow
#

no wonder it's hard to keep up MPG to a good level nowadays

velvet summit
rigid sinew
misty sparrow
#

if American cities were built like European cities they would be more walk/bike friendly

rigid sinew
#

have you seen how crazy the roundabouts are

hoary zodiac
#

City planning issue

misty sparrow
#

yeah i've seen the one in france

#

i don't even know how it works

hoary zodiac
#

Public transport also has to be better too

#

And the car culture needs to die down

#

For cities to be efficient

rigid sinew
#

literally the last john wick movie, the roundabout they were fighting in was crazy

velvet summit
#

bus/train is probably the safer options on the list, but flight is generally more safe than cars and bikes and even walking, as long as the regulations don't get worse

tbh saying that planes are a unsafe method travel is like saying that nuclear power plants are unsafe

#

also i like roundabouts lmao

somber skiff
#

Humans are prone to logical bias, you're far, far more likely to die in an auto accident vs plane crash

hoary zodiac
#

Cities skylines player spotted

velvet summit
#

nice to not need to stop when there's nobody else in the intersection, and with no traffic lights

rigid sinew
#

trains suck in the rain and buses are also horrible to be in bc of regular drivers , ive seen so many accidents of those too

hoary zodiac
#

Imo american trains are one of the worst I've seen

marsh warren
#

they used to be good

hoary zodiac
#

Does help that freight has a monopoly

marsh warren
#

once upon a time

rigid sinew
#

i think i am just being negative cause i literally follow crash pages and they are usually buses and cars in NY driving dumb

mortal grail
hoary zodiac
#

I blame the freight industry for us trains being in the state it is

mortal grail
#

Figured I'd bury the hatchet here

hoary zodiac
#

The rail network is Queensland ia pretty good

marsh warren
#

you're not wrong, I mean the issue with it is; no one actually kept them up

#

like the passenger lines

hoary zodiac
#

(and it's 50 cents btw)

rigid sinew
#

nah that has to be updated after the 6 plane crashes that have happened so far

marsh warren
#

theres one in florida thats pretty good tho

misty sparrow
#

because paris is crazy

#

france is crazy

did you see that roundabout ??? i was like ?? where are the lanes and everyone just throwing themselves in the deadpool lol

Planes are scary af, I agree that much tho

rigid sinew

mortal grail

It's not like a local road accident

rigid sinew
misty sparrow
mortal grail
#

All her aeronautical miles

misty sparrow
#

she probably has to fly a plane to walk down the environment

#

nature at its finest (through a window)

nocturne flicker
#

Don't worry, we'll fix that nature issue

mortal grail
#

Plane crashes are international news

velvet summit
#

in terms of most enviromentally friendly method of travel, it's probably by train

mortal grail
#

But local road accidents are a daily occurrence

#

By contrast we see a LOT of highlight, so the fear is definitely validated by news coverage

somber skiff
#

Lol, yeah, 29,000 people died in car crashes in the US in 2024

mortal grail
#

Yeah

#

So I think the feeling of being afraid is definitely real

nocturne flicker
velvet summit

#

A private train gonna be worse than a car

mortal grail
#

The way news makes us pay attention to it is in it's own way pushing a mindset

yeah i remember when kobe decided to fly from santa ana to LA for a 25 minute helicopter ride instead of a hour drive with traffic

waxen saddle
#

what affect does rgb have on ram or in general? is it better to buy a ram stick without rgb?

velvet summit
#

but it takes alot less energy to move a train over x distance than say a car

mortal grail
#

Makes it mildly warmer, adds a little software to run in the background which will slow down the pc a touch

fresh timber
#

2300x shouldn’t bottleneck a 7700xt right

mortal grail
#

Lol

velvet summit
#

the most energy is used while starting the train, and to maintain the speed, it's not as much due to the minimal friction

#

only air drag

somber skiff
#

For the kobe incident

#

(he was in an S-76)

mortal grail
#

Helicopters are pretty all over the place

#

By metric it's low passenger volume

rigid sinew

weather was bad that day, it was windy and not even sunny outside

fresh timber

proud jackal
fresh timber
#

id lttrely make my server my main rig if it got an x3d cpu and make my gaming rig the server lmfao

surreal comet
#

Found an HDMI cable trying that

#

Didn't fix it

#

Windows is so broken I try to launch file manager and it immediately goes into "not responding"

mortal grail
surreal comet
#

Don't have any other USB

mortal grail
#

Try unplugging mouse, then keyboard, one after the other

surreal comet
#

Will do

mortal grail
#

If unplugging either of them doesn't fix it, yeah I'm gonna assume the problem is a complex fault

#

I would RMA

surreal comet
#

About to just try to hail mary and try to reinstall Windows via USB

#

Wasted enough time anyways

mortal grail
#

I don't think it's windows tbh

surreal comet
#

I got into bios

#

So idk

mortal grail
#

Hmmm

#

Does linux work??

surreal comet
#

I'll try

#

Linux boots fine

#

And works fine

mortal grail
#

Ok try windows partition wipe and install media via usb

#

Maybe it actually is windows

surreal comet
#

Thank God I've had this Linux on here

#

Makes this much easier for troubleshooting

mortal grail
#

I mean if linux works then it could very well just be bad windows

#

Corrupt/old ass registry

surreal comet
#

I have my laptop downloading a windows 10 iso rn

fresh timber
#

im so confused

#

all 16gb is detected but only 8gb is used

craggy shoal
#

Lmao RAID 1 RAM lolll

fresh timber
#

i just did tm5 with the ram too

#

ram is detected just proxmox wont use it all and i mconfused

craggy shoal
#

Have you tried making Proxmox use all the RAM?

surreal comet
#

Maybe our issue was the windows 11 along the way

#

"windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase of installation. To restart windows, restart the installation"

#

Y'all really want me to just go to Linux full time this OS stinks

mortal grail
#

Wtf

#

Ok can you turn the pc off

#

Reseat your ram

#

Better yet try 1 stick

#

Try install again

surreal comet
#

Genuinely don't know why windows is being a major twat rn

#

I give you better GPU you die

surreal comet
#

Same error

#

Ughhhhhh

mortal grail
#

Try the other stick

#

Extremely odd behaviour

#

A gpu should not cause that

hot pumice
#

computers

surreal comet
#

I have genuinely never been so frustrated before now

sinful blade
hot pumice
#

admins ban this guy

velvet summit
#

compissers

mortal grail
#

Lmfao

surreal comet
#

Linux don't care it just runs

#

Windows meanwhile is having a tantrum

mortal grail
#

You could game on linux now and it runs better than 11 in some cases

#

Cos there's no stupid windows bloat

velvet summit
#

even without the game being made for linux

#

sometimes running a game on proton just works better

#

all because of what felix said

mortal grail
#

No context channel when

surreal comet
#

Just keep getting this error

#

Idk anymore

mortal grail
#

Wtf

#

Try another vbios

#

If that doesn't work rma it

#

We'll be out of options

#

You can switch to the other vbios while it's off

#

RARELY

#

That's able to help

surreal comet
#

Gonna hurt whoever made this card

#

Windows sucks sm

mortal grail
#

I mean I say this a lot, genuinely feel like AMD QC is just ass at times

#

Something about their process just does not pick up chips with genuine issues, both ryzen and radeon alike

mortal grail
#

Wow you dunno what card that is

#

Smh

proud jackal
surreal comet
#

Wasted

#

All night over this

#

Gonna be fun trying to get a replacement rn

misty sparrow
#

replacement for what

surreal comet
#

I don't understand how it can be a card issue if Linux works completely fine

mortal grail
surreal comet
#

I'm just not even gonna bother upgrading if I need to rma

#

I don't understand why windows can't just reinstall

#

I've never had that issue before where it just refused to install

mortal grail
#

Which motherboard is it

craggy shoal
surreal comet
mortal grail
#

So no second x16 slot you could maybe try?

surreal comet
#

Gonna try removing all other storage drives and seeing if windows will install

surreal comet
mortal grail
#

Damn

dusk knot
#

Lol

mortal grail
#

@surreal comet I wouldn't stress over it too much. The problem is weirdly nuanced. It is actually behaving like the cpu is having a genuine problem

#

But I can't tell for sure cos the 4070 works

#

It's a complex issue whatever it is, so RMA would tell us if it's the ryzen I/O die or not

surreal comet
#

I've never had an issue with this cpu

#

Man

#

Wasted all day on this

#

And you know

#

A 1000 dollars

#

Day wasn't going well anyways before this

surreal comet
#

it worked

#

okay man

#

this software gig sucks wdym unplugging the drive I wasn't downloading too anyways fixed it

#

@mortal grail

misty sparrow
#

i dont even wanna know what unplugging the storage drives had to do with fixing the problem lmao

surreal comet
#

I don't know

#

I don't care

misty sparrow
#

sorcery

#

it works so keep going i guess

surreal comet
#

PC sensed It was 5 minutes away from going into a compactor

surreal comet
#

I somehow remembered my Microsoft login

velvet summit
surreal comet
#

Immediately tried to make by buy Microsoft 365

misty sparrow
#

i guess one of them was faulty

#

well, it's one for the streets bin

velvet summit
#

Possibly

fresh nova
#

A fly landed on my keyboard

#

So I sprayed it with 99% isopropyl alcohol & it died instantly.

misty sparrow
#

is there a possibility that the fly is intoxicated rather than dead

fresh nova
#

No it's def dead

surreal comet
#

I am installing adrenaline and my drivers as we speak

misty sparrow
#

sure it's not just knocked out?

surreal comet
#

In my darkest "it's over" I have my strongest "we're so back"

fresh nova
#

Oh it's dead 99% is strong stuff

#

idk how he got in here I rarely have bugs in my room.

#

Oh wait it's a fly

#

It flew in. Ha Ha

misty sparrow
#

wow you hit him with the lethal dose of blood alcohol in just one spray

#

imagine being that fly

lone mango
#

I need some of that 99

#

fr

surreal comet
#

My head hurts after all this

fresh nova
#

lmao

surreal comet
#

I need a drink

#

(water not alcoholic)

misty sparrow
#

how can you tell the difference between water and vodka

lone mango
#

Smell

surreal comet
#

Nope

#

It's not fixed

#

Okay

lone mango
#

I thought you were talking about the smell at first

misty sparrow
#

this is a jigsaw scenario right here

"The drinks you see before you are a gift. One is laced with water. The other is laced with vodka. Both have no smell. Good luck"

lone mango
surreal comet
#

Windows having a mild fit

#

It persists just to be a pain in my ass

lone mango
#

Are you reinstalling rn

surreal comet
#

No windows settings going insane

#

For some reason when I boot it asks if I want to go into 10 or 11

#

Only 10 should be on this drive

lone mango
#

Does 10 work just fine

#

or nah

surreal comet
#

Yea

#

Not gonna mess with that

#

Gonna just try to go into bios and enable SAM and call it a day

lone mango
#

It only lasts like 3 seconds to choose so its not the end of the world

#

Esp if you are like me and leave the computer in sleep

#

Maybe you can find what part of the disk has the w11 part and get rid of it

surreal comet
#

Pretty much

#

Nvm I'm goated I fixed it

#

For some reason win 11 was an option in the boot section of misconfig

#

Deleted it and it doesn't do that anymore

#

🙏

#

It's finally time to

#

Put the side glass on

mortal grail
#

Ok so some sort of power conflict

surreal comet
#

Windows is

#

Operating as it should now

#

Adrenaline installed fine

mortal grail
#

I mean if it makes you feel better an ssd destroyed my 7950x3d

#

Tried to have a go at the 9800X3D too

surreal comet
#

Issue

#

Neither of my SSDs are broken or corrupted

#

The non boot ones

#

GO AWAY WINDOWS I DON'T WANT SKYPE

mortal grail
proud jackal
mortal grail
#

Just adding to the context

surreal comet
#

Fair enough

#

Idk what windows issue was

#

Now it seems to be okay

mortal grail
#

If I had to guess

#

It sounds similar but not as serious

#

You get a backfeed of current to the cpu i/o die

#

An abnormal amount

#

And it just

#

Slooowwwssss

#

Everything to a crawl

surreal comet
#

I'm still unsure of what

mortal grail
#

I've seen this on a few PC's

surreal comet
#

I'm just glad I got around it

mortal grail
#

This is why I was saying to unplug stuff

#

Try new cables

#

I was thinking this

#

But NOT the ssds

#

Been hella busy and I just forgot

surreal comet
#

It was the completely unrelated torrented anime ssd

mortal grail
#

Oh yeah

#

It's a random ass thing

#

But the power imbalance is what causes it

#

It just needs to be plugged in when it happens

#

Literally anything

surreal comet
#

Glad it's over with

mortal grail
#

I've even had one of my hdmi switches, not even plugged into the pc

#

Cause it

#

Because it was on a separate plug into the same monitor

#

It wasn't even plugged into the damn pc having issues but I could repeat the problem by unplugging it

#

Go fish lmao

#

Anyway power is annoying af, does it seem to be working ok?

#

The gpu

surreal comet
#

Seems so

#

Lights on fans on

#

Wait nvm fans aren't on

#

Stop start

#

Whatever it's called

mortal grail
#

Zero fan

#

Ye

fresh timber
mortal grail
#

That means it's working

fresh timber
#

do i have a cpu or gpu bottleneck

mortal grail
#

So just test everything before you try the ssd again

fresh timber
#

omg i should instll the 7700xt

#

the 2300x isnt a bottleneck surly

sinful blade
fresh timber
sinful blade
#

L

fresh timber
#

seriously

#

how do i fix half my ram beign reserved

sinful blade
#

Check that they’re both fully inserted

fresh timber
#

i tried dfifrent ram entiertly

#

diffrent operating systems

mortal grail
fresh timber
#

not the problem rn

#

ram aint wokring even on diffrent oses

#

ima go back to bios brb

balmy solstice
mortal grail
#

Windows typically allocates about 6-8gb

#

You want less used use a custom os

fresh timber
#

8gb is revered

#

Bios or cpu is broken

#

It motherboard

fresh timber
balmy solstice
#

8gb of ram is a sad sight

fresh timber
#

It’s my proxmox computer 😭 I put my desktops nvme in it to diagnose the ram

mortal grail
#

You can force reserve in windows syscfg

#

Set reserve not 8 but 5 or 6

balmy solstice
#

check to see if your computer recognizes your gpu

mortal grail
#

I gotta go

#

Byee

balmy solstice
fresh timber
#

If it didn’t I wouldn’t be getting video out of it

balmy solstice
#

you can

#

your cpu can provide proper display

#

its just gonna be running at snail speeds

#

like my assus laptop

fresh timber
#

Itx def got a gpu if Fortnite runs kek and gpu shows up just fine

#

This computer doesn’t run windows normally

surreal comet
#

Okay I'm using this as a lesson

#

Never upgrade again

#

This sucks

frigid stag
#

What happened?

balmy solstice
surreal comet
#

The usual

misty sparrow
#

it's all worth it to play persona 3

balmy solstice
#

yes

misty sparrow
#

and 4 + 5

balmy solstice
#

yes

misty sparrow
#

dont know about 1-2 though

#

no one talks about them

fresh timber
balmy solstice
#

5 is not worth full price, but nice to play anyway

surreal comet
fresh timber
#

My finally thing is wait for my new cpu to deliver

balmy solstice
fresh timber
frigid stag
balmy solstice
#

oh

#

you're on a whole other bios

#

I thought you meant your windows was broken

#

now proxmox makes more sense

surreal comet
#

Back to windows 10

fresh timber
balmy solstice
#

looks like 11

fresh timber
#

Yuh

#

11

balmy solstice
#

I would revert it to 10

fresh timber
#

No

fresh timber
#

I found issu

balmy solstice
#

11 isnt as processor and gpu convenient as 10

frigid stag
#

Actually nvm gigachad would be win 7 🗿

fresh timber
#

Ram also won’t set the Xmp profile

balmy solstice
fresh timber
frigid stag
#

11 isn’t better in any way pretty much

balmy solstice
#

not yet

frigid stag
#

There’s like 1 benefit which is timer res and u can get that through server 21

surreal comet
#

Side panel finally on

#

Thank God

frigid stag
fresh timber
#

Im using 11 from my main rig just to figure out why my ram isn’t setting properly

frigid stag
#

It’s just a worse ui and more bloated

balmy solstice

Minimalist Apple fired internet aesthetic

balmy solstice

wait 10 years and 11 will be good

Well “ok”

Was Ok once u had to use windows 10 cause 7 wasn’t supported

probably not the issue but gunter_shrug it's either that, it's not enabled, or it's a problem with your sticks

@mortal grail
Just doing game benchmarks in the background while I clean my room

#

GPU has no issues getting full power

#

I think I'm safe

#

This thing really does just stomp on the 4070 though

unreal chasm
#

Can I delete all these extra mf partions?

storm narwhal
#

But better cause it has more vram

velvet summit
surreal comet
#

I was getting like 80fps in that benchmark with the 4070

unreal chasm
#

I'm reinstalling windows tryna delete everything

surreal comet
#

Now it's getting well over 200 on average

#

Insane

unreal chasm
#

Idek what these partions are for

velvet summit
#

i see you have multiple disks

#

you want to clear off those as well?

unreal chasm
#

3 disks 2 are striped together

#

I formated everything

#

Just tryna delete as many partions as possible

#

I just don't know if that's find to do
