Is there a way to get notifications when newegg restocks graphics cards? I got two of my orders cancelled yesterday now I have no graphics card

[low rivet]

join the falcodrin discord for pings, any notification on newegg itself will probably be for an item way out of stock before you even get the notification

[north crescent]

Watch it perf same as 3050

[rancid juniper]

3050+++

[elfin mural]

i'd laugh

cuz that's a regression

my laptop 4050 would be faster than that

[velvet summit]

no it has 3
technically 4

technically 5 even

you can convert 12vhpwr to 8 pin as well

no

the psu side is cpu/pcie (you can plug either type into those ports)

but the cable themselves have different pinouts

yes

you may need to buy another 8 pin then

[wise wigeon]

Wait you don’t have 3 8pins?

What’s the psu name

[velvet summit]

looks like the psu includes 2 cables with daisy chains

[craggy shoal]

I’m really in the same room as somebody who is using YouTube without an ad blocker

Wow this is madness

[velvet summit]

beat them to death with hammers

[craggy shoal]

"Well actually uBlock doesn't exist on Chrome and Edge anymore" yeah bro there's Firefox and Brave among others 💀

[velvet summit]

https://tenor.com/view/nba-gif-15687325833433865178

[wise wigeon]

I mean it’s a 300w card

[craggy shoal]

Not to mention this guy is humming and making sounds with his mouth

[wise wigeon]

He’s probably fine with one daisy chain and another being 1:1

[pliant berry]

why do so many people use brave

[craggy shoal]

Security reasons

Doesn't force you to sign in

[wise wigeon]

Lil more locked down

[craggy shoal]

Brave + uBlock and you're unstoppable

Blocks YouTube ads without the help of uBlock

[pliant berry]

I mean if security is your concern there are many better options out there

[wise wigeon]

I mean anything for a sale

It’ll still work if you daisy chain 1 and use the other cable 1:1

[craggy shoal]

Do each of the cables only have a single 8-pin?

[wise wigeon]

No daisy chain

Should be fine honestly

[craggy shoal]

Bruh

[wise wigeon]

But I personally would prefer 1:1 myself

Idk how much you payed for the psu though

Plenty of cheap and likely better psus with three separate cables

[low rivet]

Only thing I hate about Brave is the crypto bloatware stuck on the browser

[mental yoke]

psus are always a blast to play with.

[velvet summit]

it includes 18awg cables it looks like from what i see online, so yeah way more than fine

[craggy shoal]

Just disable it

[wise wigeon]

Still it’s I. Return period and it’s not hard to get a better psu

[craggy shoal]

Oh yeah they’re a blast when you get a Gigabyte PSU

[mental yoke]

basically, the internet is going to mine crypto from you period, they just do it the right way. ur paying them in cookies might as well get paid for it

[pliant berry]

I feel like im changing browsers every few months. originally I used vanilla firefox, then I tried arc, now im trying zen

[mental yoke]

i got a rog thor, its very beefy, i was surprised holding it

[craggy shoal]

"from you" no bro they just mine it lol

[wise wigeon]

Msi psus a bit overpriced

[mental yoke]

yea thats more what i mean 😄

[wise wigeon]

That’s why they get slapped in bundles

[craggy shoal]

lol gotcha

[wise wigeon]

Not inherently bad psus just for the price

[craggy shoal]

(Corsair has entered the chat)

[wise wigeon]

I mean rm850x is like 130

[mental yoke]

ive bought maybe 7 or 8 psus in my life that i can speak about, the rog thor is top tier, i also got one of those bequiet ones with the side cables, very high quality. evga was my go-to for the longest

[craggy shoal]

That’s quite expensive for an 850W lol

[wise wigeon]

Oh it is

[mental yoke]

corsairs work fine i never felt anything special about them though

[craggy shoal]

Could be like $99.99 but I guess you get Corsair (their supplier*) reliability

[wise wigeon]

The mag a850gs is 150 though

[craggy shoal]

Yeah that’s expensive too ngl

[mental yoke]

how much does the 5090 want on tap?

[craggy shoal]

I thought there was a good 750W or 850W for like $80 in here not too recently

[wise wigeon]

You can get the core reactor 2 1000w for $130

[mental yoke]

im guesstimating like 1200

[velvet summit]

your house

[craggy shoal]

575W, pushing beyond 600W 💀

[mental yoke]

thats not horrible i guess

[craggy shoal]

Like basically half or more than a 1200W PSU

[wise wigeon]

The c1000 and lian li edge 1000w for 144-154

[mental yoke]

ive only ever kept a point of buying psu's at 1k. 1k will do whatever

[craggy shoal]

I wouldn't get a Lian Li PSU for today's GPUs

[mental yoke]

for my consumerism level stuff

[wise wigeon]

It’s a more gimmicky psu but it’s still ok

[craggy shoal]

B-tier PSUs iirc (at least just the one I’ve looked up)

[wise wigeon]

Just kinda mid compared to the others

The edge is fine

[mental yoke]

actually i think the rog thor is a 850 leme look

[wise wigeon]

It’s enough that the refresh is going to be in the updated aris list

[craggy shoal]

Is that C1000 an NZXT PSU? They make some good PSUs but their NZXT lol

[wise wigeon]

Yeah it’s like top1-2 in overall performance

[craggy shoal]

I have a C1000 that I still need to put in my system

[wise wigeon]

Cables a lil ugly but better than flat cables with daisy chain

[craggy shoal]

I need to do a whole PSU swap day for the several servers and main PC I have

[mental yoke]

oh wait i bought this direct from asus i thought it was amazon or something derp

[wise wigeon]

C1000 has 3 8 pin to 6+2

[craggy shoal]

One of my servers is running a non-green Corsair CX650M from like 2016 rn 💀

[wise wigeon]

Hehe my first build had a green cx650

Or 600 can’t remember fully

[mental yoke]

https://rog.asus.com/power-supply-units/rog-thor/rog-thor-850p-model/

[craggy shoal]

Yikes lol how'd that go?

Probably 650W

[wise wigeon]

It was fine

[mental yoke]

thats the one i got, its sick, super beef

[wise wigeon]

It lasted

Used it as a back up to test issues

Can you believe I ram stock cooler fx8350 for like half a year?

I mean people joke about space heaters now but

Bulldozer was something

[mental yoke]

sometimes i like my computer in the other room, sometimes i like it in my room. seasons play a part in that 😄

[wise wigeon]

Bro j I live in Florida and my ac is wack in my room

[mental yoke]

[wise wigeon]

[mental yoke]

[wise wigeon]

Still a surprise though

Think it went as far as Gainesville

[wise wigeon]

For me it was just frosty grass

Was like 45 today felt good

[mental yoke]

i had a gts 450 back in the day overclocked that would keep a basement room a toasty 60 degrees. when i took it out eventually every metal point on the card was rainbow colored from eating too much voltage

[wise wigeon]

Fx8350 was every bit the space heater it was in the memes

Then again I can’t talk I only had three period my senior year

Maybe I accept my fate

No 9070 xt for me

[fresh timber]

Doesn’t matter

[wise wigeon]

Had an hour of sleep so

Figured it’d be safe to get one in case

[mental yoke]

i taught english in south korea and had a south african co-teacher who wanted red bull. i could get monster and gave him one. next day, at work, you could tell he didnt sleep "bro i couldnt sleep after that drink"

[copper bluff]

Man I got my second replacement 4k 32" monitor from Newegg after the first one came opened, and the second one came even more opened

why does asus use glue to close their boxes...

[idle flax]

i work all night the whole weekend tho until monday lol

[mental yoke]

i have issues with buying displays and shipping and like to go to box stores but ur losing out on a lot of online sales

[wise wigeon]

Like open open or shipping banged up

[mental yoke]

the problem with displays and shipping is just huge since noone gets paid enough to care about my 5k monitor

[idle flax]

I have a 3440x1440p OLED alienware monitor its ultrawide. i dont think ill go fk for a long time

[wise wigeon]

Also boxes are too big for extra box

[copper bluff]

shipping banged up, its a new 1000 monitor

[wise wigeon]

Ngl that’s kinda gonna happen when a box is that big

[copper bluff]

but asus seal intact

yeah but it came like 3 sides fully open one side fully opened after i prodded it

lol

i cant post photos here, but i'll throw it on reddit

[wise wigeon]

Well that’s different

[mental yoke]

its shipping. 100%. you cant put the fragility of display tech in the same vein as socks and underwear for a shipping company and expect it to arrive nice

when its shipping to a store you dont have those last leg carriers hucking after 9 hour work days

[wise wigeon]

Meanwhile

[idle flax]

bruh

thats better than a 9070 whyd you want one?

[wise wigeon]

Best Buy: let’s just slap a sticker on it and ship it like this

[idle flax]

i wouldvwe if they were the same price e

[wise wigeon]

Because it’s $400 cheaper?

[mental yoke]

ill gamble on an ugly box, thats not an issue if the product works inside

[idle flax]

but you already have it haha

[wise wigeon]

Not that one

[idle flax]

oh that pic isnt yous?

[wise wigeon]

I returned the xfx because

[idle flax]

whats wrong with display port?

[mental yoke]

looks like 3 display port cables were plugged in and yanked out

[wise wigeon]

Well the io shield was slightly bent out the box

[mental yoke]

oh

[wise wigeon]

I assume the bend caused the deformed dp

[idle flax]

oh just realized that

wtf

how does that happen maybe they dropped it

[mental yoke]

actually looks like those screws overtorqued the metal behind it

[wise wigeon]

I didn’t realized the dp till later because I was busy and just used the hdmi during testing

The hdmi was not deformed

[mental yoke]

yea thats defntly the screws

over the port pulling that dp port shielding around

might be a qc issue

[wise wigeon]

Well the io shield was bent inwards about 5 degrees around the area of the dp ports

[copper bluff]

https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fnewegg-monitor-shipping-asus-uses-glue-instead-of-a-regular-v0-vnn0m8j4zane1.jpg%3Fwidth%3D4238%26format%3Dpjpg%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Dd105ce82f6df9c5b70c78c427278e001406e2e4c

[mental yoke]

ah its hard to see the bend i guess,

[copper bluff]

thats literally how it came, next day shipping UPS too

asus seal intact across the top...

[wise wigeon]

Straightened because of the please screws

Case*

[idle flax]

yeah chevy also sucks

[wise wigeon]

Wow

[idle flax]

my silverado is in the shop already for transmission issues and i bought it new not even 10 months ago

[copper bluff]

yeah the whole monitor could have gone out the side, who knows

[wise wigeon]

Yeah so when I first posted about how my gpu came in before I opened it most people were understanding and some people were calling me a big baby lol

[idle flax]

companies just be scamming

[copper bluff]

and newegg offered me 25 dollars gc for the problems. either replacement or refund - no other option like store credit or alternative brand

[wise wigeon]

Turns out the dp ports were mangled up so those guys can screw off

Anyway I had a nitro plus on backorder as a backup in case BB screwed me and cancelled

So that’s the xtx in my build now

But getting a 9070xt would save me like $400

And I’m fine with paying more for a bundle as long as it’s a useful bundle

But like money saved would be nice

[nocturne merlin]

what are some 2.5" ssds on the cheaper side with high tbw (i need some for my nas)

[wise wigeon]

I mean what qualifies as high for data

Sata*

There is a team group one that’s like 1600tb

[fresh timber]

Weak

Buy used enterprises ssds

Way better

[craggy shoal]

I use enterprise hard drives new lol

[pliant berry]

used enterprise ssds can still be pretty expensive

[fresh timber]

I got out in some nice Samsung drives you can get on eBay

[fresh timber]

Samsung has some cheap ones

[craggy shoal]

Just get some 30TB Exos U.2 drives

(This is obviously a joke)

[north crescent]

(This is obviously not a joke)

[nocturne merlin]

4 drives with 2tb each is enough for me, i just need the best option that isnt too crazy, maybe rated a bit higher than a regular sata

[craggy shoal]

Nah but actually just get some 3.5" enterprise-grade hard drives (if you can fit 3.5" drives). It doesn't have to be like multiple 16TB drives like I have

[fresh timber]

Serverpartdewls

Don’t buy new hdds

Unless ur rich

[nocturne merlin]

i need 2.5", cant fit more hdds

[craggy shoal]

Oh gotcha

I wouldn't know too much about SSDs. I’m not that far yet in self hosting lol

[craggy shoal]

But yeah do this. Go shop on serverpartdeals. Used (refurb'd) storage solutions for a good price

[velvet summit]

in fairness,
most issues with any product usually show up within the first few months to a year of using it
then once that time passes, there are way less natural failures
then at the end of the lifecycle of the product, failure rates go back up

[fresh timber]

Amazing ssd

Dont know your case, but could also 3d print more 3.5" bays. Would likely still be better value than 2.5" drives unless you need the latency/speed

[nocturne merlin]

i heard people buying the pm stuff from samsung too bad its nvme

[velvet summit]

nvm express

[nocturne merlin]

its not about bays, i have a standard case for my server and all the drive bays with hdds are full (and not many) so im relying on just chucking the ssds in there lol, wouldnt do it with hdds

[velvet summit]

non volatile memory e

[craggy shoal]

Yeah print an external JBOD enclosure, get a controller for it or just connect the disks or connect them all via SATA haha. This is a project I still wanna do

[velvet summit]

nonvme

nvolatileme

nvmemorye

[fresh timber]

It’s not a bad ssd.. it will out last your little crucial or what ever

[craggy shoal]

e

[fresh timber]

My friend kills the poop out those ssds every year, the controllers suck and burn out

[north crescent]

Am confused. Sounds like you have enough space for custom 3d printed bays?

[velvet summit]

skill issue

[wise wigeon]

Nice the monster is finally wearing off

[fresh timber]

When you kill 8 a year something is not right

[wise wigeon]

I slep

[north crescent]

Moar monster

[nocturne merlin]

i dont know much about those, you mean like adding full bays to the case? how would that be mounted

[velvet summit]

how are they killing 8 a year

that is absurdly high

[fresh timber]

Just alot of reading in writing

[craggy shoal]

Killing 8 drives per year is wild

[north crescent]

That'd depend on your case. But usually internally somewhere, inbetween PSU and GPU for example with average ATX cases. Unless you do what motor suggested, printing a small external enclosure

[velvet summit]

my crucial drive currently has 16tb reads and 23tb writes according to the SMART data

[fresh timber]

How often, how long

What ru using it for

[velvet summit]

just a boot drive

it's been 4 years lmao

[fresh timber]

Oh, nothing consistent

[north crescent]

I assume you dont have a 3D printer, so would need to get it printed elsewhere. But "expensive" 3D print with HDDs is likely going to still be cheaper than SSDs in terms of just raw storage capacity

[velvet summit]

i mean

the drives arent rated for a 100% duty cycle

though my pc is on 24/7

[fresh timber]

That’s why they are ass

[velvet summit]

most consumer drives arent rated for a 100% duty cycle though lmao

not even NAS drives are

[nocturne merlin]

you mean this in a good or bad way? i have two 1 year old crucials, boot drive has 13tb and my storage drive has 10tb. i dont even remember using them that much

[fresh timber]

Poop

[velvet summit]

the more data transferred before failure = better

[fresh timber]

I’m speed running killing the ssd on my Minecraft server

Omg I wonder how fast my nas will die when I backup all the time

[velvet summit]

this is why i recommend refurb enterprise drives since many of those are rated for 90-100% duty cycles

[nocturne merlin]

haha true but you seem to be doing a lot better for 4 years than im projected to

still i've only ever had kingston drives die on me which is kinda expected since they're the cheapest

[fresh timber]

That’s why they are peak

[velvet summit]

i havent used a single drive for long enought that it dies ngl
i've upgraded before it does lmao
well, outside of me dropping my old game hdd 💀

[fresh timber]

I’d rather a workstation/enterprise ssd/hdd if I can get the same price used

[velvet summit]

but that was completely my fault

actually, my seagate 3tb drive is dying but those were apparently noctorious for unreliability (no wonder it was so cheap)

[nocturne merlin]

all the basic kingston whatever a series i've owned died within a year with light to moderate use, maybe im doing something to them lol

[velvet summit]

i havent used kingston so maybe it is that bad lol

[craggy shoal]

I just want Exos drives to come down in price (won't happen in the near future)

[pliant berry]

it's not even about downloading. a lot of drive usage is just cache for programs. also the huge popularity of cloud storage services. Everytime you request a doc you think is on your computer, it is actually downloading from cloud and deleting after not being used for a bit

[fresh timber]

I got free 500gb hdds so I’m happy

Funna raid 6 them

[fresh timber]

Imagine using your ssd server as storage for all your servers, lets see how fast they die kek

[frigid stag]

That’s why they use higher endurance ssds in enterprise

Like slc or mlc

[pliant berry]

for servers that's also why you use a lot of ram to hold data in cache before writing to disk

[fresh timber]

Side note I’m about to try that

Going to experiment with netbooting

[dusk knot]

Hm

[pliant berry]

I was going to try that one day but I want to upgrade to 10g first

[velvet summit]

that's a different thing
ghosty was talking about ramdisk basically lmao

[pliant berry]

my server only has 1 ssd for docker containers and vms

[fresh timber]

I’m wondering if mines will die

I’m using a random nvme

Faster than when I used a Kingston ssd atleast

[pliant berry]

same, i don't remember what it was used for I just found it on a shelf

[fresh timber]

Lolll

[nocturne merlin]

btw does the crucial executive tool actually work for anyone? i tried installing it a couple of times but its painfully slow and nothing works

[fresh timber]

Does gigabyte gpus come with drugs

[rigid sinew]

AHHHHH I FORGOT TO CANCEL MY DISCORD NITRO

also what are boosts

what does that do

[paper verge]

bruh why doesnt a wegg admin know what boosts does to a discord server

lol

[gentle canyon]

let you have animated server icons, emojis, stream higher quality, etc

[mental yoke]

you can boost servers and they get perks for boosters

[gentle canyon]

i need to cancel my nitro its just a waste at this point i only really use it so i can change the color of my discord lol

[rigid sinew]

i only got it to put my profile pink

but idk even know how to boost a server lol

[fresh timber]

Lmao

Y'all have fun with your 9070 XTs
I'll be happy if I can get a 6900XT

Cuz like

50% more perf for double the price roughly
Don't feel all that great

Especially when I'm very, very broke

[sinful blade]

Bad pricing is bad

[idle flax]

I just needed a upgrade tbh 3080 sucks ass at 1440 p with hdr

Most games can only play low- mid settings

Ray tracing forget about it in playing in 30-50 fps stuttering non stop

[tender veldt]

Which games UE5 is an issue

[idle flax]

Any game pretty much unless it’s old asf and still can’t use ray tracing

10GB is really bad for 1440p

I cant even use more than 6 gigs n gps tanks but no worries anymore my 9070 is here haha out with the old in with the new!!

[tender veldt]

Werid I have no issues using Ray tracing with Hogwarts,First Decendant, Diablo 4 I can maintain a 50-60FPS all ultra out

Fortnite and Hogwarts were issues though I resolved Hogwarts I cant get Fortnite to be stable

[fresh timber]

I can get does guys to run it fine kek

1440p on a rx6600 is nice

[idle flax]

50-60 fps us ass though

I don’t have a 800$ monitor to play 50 fps lol

[tender veldt]

meh I would upgrade but the 5090 has massive issues and GPU scalpers ruined the 5080

[idle flax]

Yeah I’d into okay 4k so this card to me is gonna last another 4-5 years like my 3080 did

[velvet summit]

i got a battery replacement kit and the instruction manual is just using ifixit images LMFAO

it is not sold by ifixit or anybody related

since there arent any more oem batteries or such

[frigid stag]

Sounds like the amd experience on Fortnite performance mode

[pliant berry]

hey if it ain't broke don't fix it

ifixit got pretty good guides

[velvet summit]

the slight problem is that the manual is like probably the generic one they include with every kit

so they used multiple different phones in the images

lmao

[pliant berry]

lol

[velvet summit]

i do have the actual ifixit guide for the specific phone pulled up though

that one is accurate

[brittle lynx]

a 10gbps nic that doesn't not support 2.5gig??

[craggy shoal]

Bro why is my coworker watching videos without headphones

Almost worse than a boomer on speaker bruh

The coworker music is okay though. It's some Nintendo theme songs but in a classical remix

[icy ore]

Tell him to turn it up

Say you can’t hear it

[craggy shoal]

Also some Gran Turismo music

[craggy shoal]

"Hey bro can you turn your video up? I was supposed to be here alone today and seeing you here completely ruined that. I’m already annoyed at that. Annoy me more with the boring video you're watching. Just make my life miserable please. That would be nice. Thanks"

[mental yoke]

i loved gran turismo 3/4/5

[icy ore]

Exactly

[mental yoke]

i think i have 7 but never played it

7 is okay

[trail nest]

can someone tell me if the trump tariffs on other countries will affect the prices of PC parts here in the USA? will i be paying more for parts to build my new PC now???

[mental yoke]

i bought it on sale but just havent had time to hook my ps5 up cus in middle of purchasing house and stuff but

soon

[mental yoke]

yes. no/maybe/yes.

[icy ore]

Without getting too political there’s a high chance yes. We’ll just have to see. But try asking on Reddit or something.

[trail nest]

oh god! i need to start ordering all of my pc parts right now then!

[frigid stag]

It’ll be a mess if you ask on there

90% of the time it turns into some political bs argument

[craggy shoal]

Yeah that’s a Reddit question not a Discord question lol

[mental yoke]

regardless of the geo-political-corporate angle of prices, prices are going to change. period. regardless of anything happening. every day prices change. if you want to buy, buy it.

[trail nest]

i better not be paying $600 for a motherboard because of the tariffs!

[craggy shoal]

That’s a question that somebody will completely nerd out on and answer within three-five paragraphs. Not meant to be asked here in a Discord server lol

[mental yoke]

thats too political for here

and too american centric, newegg isnt only america

[craggy shoal]

I mean I can say that Bambu Lab printers have like barely even a $50 increase after tariffs. It's not even that big

[frigid stag]

Not unless it’s a 550 dollar board

[trail nest]

i thought newegg was japanese?

[mental yoke]

what

its a business

[trail nest]

so it ain't a japanese business?

[craggy shoal]

They’re based in California lol

What

[frigid stag]

Idk tbh

[craggy shoal]

dawg where'd you hear Japan

[rough zinc]

California? Japan? Close enough

[trail nest]

lol wtf dude i always thought newegg was a japanese corporation or some shet lol

[rough zinc]

They're both by water

[surreal comet]

Newegg is from California I gotta boycott now

[mental yoke]

even if they were a japanese corporation its a global corporation

[craggy shoal]

They've always been in California WHAT 😭

[trail nest]

well shet i learned something new today bout newegg lol

[mental yoke]

i had the super special edition ps3 edition it was so sick, had this keychain that lasted 9 years before it disintegrated

[velvet summit]

me using a heat gun as a hand dryer

it works quite well honestly

[mental yoke]

bad for skin but yea itll work

[craggy shoal]

I didn’t know that was a thing. That’s nuts

[mental yoke]

i forgot what i did with that cast r34

[craggy shoal]

Now try it with a fan in front of the heat. You'll be amazed. Like a fan pulling in hot air

[craggy shoal]

Yoooo that’s sick

[mental yoke]

oh it was just a gt-r

[velvet summit]

honestly everyone should own a heatgun

it's so useful

or a blow torch

[mental yoke]

i use shrink wrap on everything, heatgun a must

i need to invest in a nice one, i got some cheapo amazon one and the heat control is lacking

[craggy shoal]

Put it in front of your PC's intakes so you can warm up your PC when starting it. Helps the oil circulate, ya know?

[velvet summit]

heat gun for electronics
blow torch for automotive

💀

the pc block heater

[craggy shoal]

💀💀

"Cold sink"

[velvet summit]

[craggy shoal]

Gets rid of the coldness of the CPU of course

[velvet summit]

these old pcs with their clogged carbs

you gotta drain the caps before storing your pcs

[sinful blade]

I’ll take your 3080

[velvet summit]

or your carbs are gonna be gummed up

damn this cheap ass screwdriver got improved by 100% after i added a drop of light machine oil

well, technically it's probably a mineral oil

it's used for industrial sewing machines lmao

[safe cape]

this is cooool

[mental yoke]

special editions are fun

i wish i woulda got that one with nier and 2b statue

[lone mango]

Oh man the gt academy days

[mental yoke]

id honestly take my current ride over anything in any of those games

thank you racing games for showing me what i dont want in a ride

[lone mango]

Yo that goes so hard

I remember car trading and the feature where you could borrow cars people had on their profile

Prople had modded cars on there lol

[mental yoke]

thinking back i had that sitting under an air conditioner in a basement gaming room and the ac pooped all over it

[lone mango]

[mental yoke]

totally remember where that went

[lone mango]

Deserves better

[mental yoke]

had to do this to beat a couple track times sometimes

i remember the 24 nurburgring that was like actually 24 hours

Shrek but the entire movie is an embedded gif

[rigid sinew]

is this actually the whole movie

[craggy shoal]

iirc yes lol

it's a 90-minute gif lol

I hope it's okay to post here in this server (just a joke anyways)

[rigid sinew]

omg thats the funniest thing ive ever seen

adds to favorites

i love shrek

[craggy shoal]

lolll I've seen it a few years ago and I just remembered it after the "see now here's the thing" gif

[pliant berry]

movie night

[craggy shoal]

(gif night)

[rigid sinew]

im already on the scene where he goes "geht ouut mi swamp"

[pliant berry]

I remember when people were posting the morbius movie as a webm or something on discord day of release

[rigid sinew]

havent seen morbius yet

[random osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/morbius-gif-25461795

[pliant berry]

I heard it wasn't very good

[craggy shoal]

But is it one of those "it's fun to watch if you know it's gonna be bad" movies or one of those "don't watch. it's not funny even if you know it's gonna be bad" movies?

[pliant berry]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[wary fjord]

Dint work on mobile im gonna write you up for that.

Hey

Hey

[random osprey]

last good sony marvel movie was the first 3 spiderman movies with tobey

morbius, kraven, madame web, all doodoo. dont know if they did anything before morbius

[sinful blade]

Technically having the gif is a crime

No ones ever gonna enforce it

But it’s technically piracy

it's releasing in my bday huh

[craggy shoal]

Man $700 for a CPU

I don't need it

A GTI is enough of a thrill for me

(Guys don't tempt me please)

(I already want tires for my birthday lol)

[wary fjord]

tires can wait. they dont run out of stock and not getting scalped

[fresh timber]

Who says they don’t have permission to distribute it

Ever think about that :0

[sinful blade]

https://tenor.com/view/benstiller-dodgeball-touche-gif-4645075

[craggy shoal]

You're right but those Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tires are looking right at me

[wary fjord]

omg that wheel cost 45k each

that better last 10 years

[lone mango]

Yeah but in gt6 they changed it to 24 minutes and people didnt like it

When gt7 was really new they said they would add them but they still have not added them and its been 3 years

[craggy shoal]

Like 200-250 USD

[lone mango]

Its like $100 more tho

[craggy shoal]

Either the Michelins or I was also suggested a set of Firehawk Indy 500 tires

[lone mango]

Not that bad tbh

[wary fjord]

it seems theres more than one with a same name

[lone mango]

I would say its even better

[rancid juniper]

@craggy shoal you know you want that 3dcache bro

Doesn't hurt

😏

[craggy shoal]

SHUT

[rancid juniper]

All them cores, ultimate power + speed

Gaming performance unparalleled

[wary fjord]

not this one?

[rancid juniper]

It's all just for a little price

[craggy shoal]

Basically these. I don't even need 92Y tires but I kinda wanna flex it lol
https://www.michelinman.com/auto/tires/michelin-pilot-sport-4-s

[craggy shoal]

Yeah that's them. I'd be getting different tire specs though

225/40 R18

[wary fjord]

ah this yeah its $240

[craggy shoal]

Yeah

What's the name of that currency?

[wary fjord]

haha 10k to deliver

scam

thats almost 80% of the price of it

[craggy shoal]

Technically all the Spider-Man movies with Tom Holland are made by Sony Pictures because they own the rights to him

they’re pretty good

[wise wigeon]

https://youtu.be/uHqTM0zwMLw?si=8OgEX-i-YzNoNd08

[lone mango]

Damn that card really came out close to 5 years ago

[nocturne flicker]

They are coproduced with Columbia which is owned by Sony Pictures and Amy Pascal's company and distributed by Sony Pictures. It it was actually made by Sony or they had heavier invovlement, they'd've been garbage like every other Sony Pictures film

[misty sparrow]

Never mind then

i really need to do my homework but procrastination is such a comfortable beast

untill its not

[rancid juniper]

start now, do it in chunks even

[mental yoke]

eh its like 10 minutes maybe

i can word vomit eloquently

[rancid juniper]

i say this to my self and end up doing it like 5 hours later, or worse another day

😂

[mental yoke]

im buying smart locks for my house

[opaque sedge]

lol no way theyre tryna optimize this for the deck

[mental yoke]

why not?

[empty tide]

Gmod ragdolls are great

it prolly aint gonna run well

[frigid stag]

Why not more fps more power

[lone mango]

Read

[mental yoke]

isnt that a video

[frigid stag]

Lol

[mental yoke]

[frigid stag]

You can get more fps at the same power even 🧙‍♂️

[rancid juniper]

i legit saw that video

it was cool since i was wondering how much power you can save outta that card

that thing pulling over 300w stock is absurd imo

[tight agate]

I am happy of what I got, even if it not a XT, I think I got a great deal

[rancid juniper]

as long as you have a good time with it i see no issue

[dusk knot]

Hhmmm

[tight agate]

Yeah, same. Plus it will get updates.

[rancid juniper]

absolutely

i hope AMD will somehow incorporate FSR4 into RDNA 3

[tight agate]

Hopefully, only time can tell

Plus, I am happy that I will not need to wait one more months with all my other pc parts sitting in boxes

[open fulcrum]

Where's today's restock?

[fierce grove]

cant wait for all this shi to come

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qHVDmC

prob like never

https://tenor.com/view/bocchi-hitori-goto-depressed-bocchi-the-rock-gif-27672004

Still no 5090, Theo?

Looks like Nvidia failed us

We might have to go AMD

(lol not happening)

https://tenor.com/view/thinking-think-cute-girl-girl-think-think-about-you-gif-13599069747126639377

[tight agate]

AMD just a bit behind, not a big deal

[dusk knot]

Oh no... compooper

[rancid juniper]

literally bought 7800xt for gaming and it did just that

so yea, they work

[dusk knot]

Hmm

9070xt

Idk, breh

[lone mango]

Probably not because of the type of compute that is used

Rdna 3 ai is not advanced enough to do that kind of compute

[tight agate]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xtpm74 can wait to build this

[rancid juniper]

yea someone mentioned something about FP8 that RDNA 3 lacked, so even if it had Ai accelerators its still not going to be fully compatible

[lone mango]

Yea so its over

[rancid juniper]

AMD 7000 bros, we've fallen

😭

[fierce grove]

oooo i heard those cases are premium asfuhh

Fits with my desk

[tight agate]

Going to be amazing next to my 3D print

[fierce grove]

is it over for me...

[lone mango]

Its what i thought, you can close the gap with 9070
https://youtu.be/XldrlEg8mYk

[fierce grove]

@lone mango ngl, benchmarks was not what i expected

[tight agate]

How do you guys get theses card so fast...

[lone mango]

Why do you keep avoiding reviewers

Its a 10% diff between it and the xt

Its nothing crazy

[fierce grove]

i dont, but im still curious to look at the benchmakrs

[lone mango]

Youll be good, you made a great purchase

[fierce grove]

apparently the 9070 non xt is suppose to be nearly as good as the 4070 super ti

[fierce grove]

tank u good sir

[lone mango]

[fierce grove]

so i can overclock a 9070 to be like the XT, wont that make everything overheat, unstable, and noisy asf with the fans?

[mental yoke]

you can try it so find out?

[lone mango]

Itll be hotter yeah

But this varies per card

[fierce grove]

what if it takes me forever to revert back

[lone mango]

Some are more overbuilt than others

Nah you just crank up the power limit to what it will let you

[mental yoke]

not really my problem

[fierce grove]

well hopefully making it xt levels wont cause instability

whats that one cpu analyzer software people got

[hoary zodiac]

Depends on the silicon

[mental yoke]

hwinfo is good enough probably for w/e u need

[lone mango]

You can do it all with amd adrenalin

[lone mango]

Yeah might be able to just get a 5% increase it depends

But with how small the gap is

Should try it

Worst case scenario the driver times out and resets your oc setting

[fierce grove]

waht thje flip

[lone mango]

Stick with adrenalin for now

Its installed with the amd driver

[fierce grove]

ohh it was called CPU-Z

[lone mango]

Onyl for cpus

[mental yoke]

was that the techpowerup one?

[lone mango]

Oh wait I know what you are looking for

Its called gpu-z

[lone mango]

Yeah

But again just stick with adrenalin

[mental yoke]

i thought i saw them not using/updating it anymore but i dunno id have to google

adrenaline works fine

[lone mango]

Cant do anything with gpuz besides monitor

Adrenalin does both

[mental yoke]

i actually really liked evga's software integration with their gpus when they were selling them

its was kind bonk sometimes but 🤷‍♀️

[fierce grove]

cpu z gpu z ram z pc case z yadda yadda

[lone mango]

[fierce grove]

cpu thermal paste z yadda yadda

[lone mango]

Press alt + r

[mental yoke]

i just dont overclock. i dont care.

i also lump modifying any voltage settings into overclocking, so no undervolting, etc. im a basic consumer i just plug and go

[fierce grove]

\

best cpu ever

[mental yoke]

have any pre-built retailers got oem 50X production up yet?

play games and do normal things imo, furmark if u want a small stress of it

[craggy shoal]

Benchmark it and compare with other benchmarks. Be aware though that you'll probably have a different CPU than most other benchmarks

[mental yoke]

🤷‍♂️

[craggy shoal]

Best case scenario, try to find a benchmark with your CPU and 9070 XT and compare

Is this just to test to see if you have a dud?

[mental yoke]

there was a good cpu benchmark i forgot what it was, did like pi calculations and u could set micro registers or something

dell has 5080's in a pre built

[craggy shoal]

Yeah just look up benchmarks and then compare them to the games that you're (he's) playing

Just that simple

The difference in CPUs will make the results look different though just btw

[worldly flume]

Need some help on a question

I am trying to upgrade my system a bit, I ordered an m.2 adapter and an m.2 drive

but I am now not sure if the m.2 adapter is right?

[mental yoke]

#building-and-recc-chat prolly would be better?

theres so many little details ud need to go over

[worldly flume]

ty

[mental yoke]

the more details of all the specs of everything u can provide would help greatly

apple needs to stop being lazy on airtag2 with wireless charging

but i can understand cus of certain benefits of having removeable batteries

[worldly flume]

just bought both adapters since they were only like 15 dollars each, ill return whichever one doesnt work but keep them if they both work lol

[mental yoke]

good strategy, i do that often

[worldly flume]

and ill wait until a deal for a new m.2 comes up

just hold off on gaming until then

[mental yoke]

ngl if you want an honest opinion: if ur system needs some weird m2 adapter to install a ssd, its 100% time for a new system

[worldly flume]

yeah cant afford that atm lol

[mental yoke]

👍

[worldly flume]

mines an old 15 with a 1080ti

just need space for games

I5*

[icy ore]

[mental yoke]

you can just usb games

ive had many multiple external hard drives with libraries of steam games to move around and etc

sometimes itll matter but the majority of time it wont

[worldly flume]

I mostly play ark asended but they have this weird bug where it makes a shadow copy of the game

and my biggest ssd is like 512 so its not cutting it

[mental yoke]

i feel like ive seen 1tb ssd's for like 50 bucks

[worldly flume]

and I have no more slots for a new ssd but I got like

[mental yoke]

great reason for a fresh os install

[worldly flume]

Dang won't let me post the Pic here

Bought a 2 to m.2 for 97 and 2 different adapters

2gig*

[cedar compass]

lol I need tires as well

[mental yoke]

i bought a big truck

[craggy shoal]

I think my tires are fine but they’re all four different tires lol

[cedar compass]

with good rain performance

[mental yoke]

i am very pleased with it

[cedar compass]

tell me you're american without telling me

[craggy shoal]

I think I have like three different Continentals and one Pirelli 💀

[cedar compass]

my tires have poor rain performance lol

[mental yoke]

its really nice

[cedar compass]

I love diesel trucks but idk we don't have highways in my state lol

we have like only one highway

[mental yoke]

apple play works better with gmc/chevy then android atm

a lot better

[cedar compass]

I'm more into luxury sedans

[mental yoke]

i drive it like a luxury sedan

[cedar compass]

that's why driving S class

[mental yoke]

i actually want to get the hummer ev

[mental yoke]

but i needed something reliable untill i could get a garage set up

[cedar compass]

I want EV G wagon lol but I don't think it will feel like old g wagon

[cedar compass]

my baby

[mental yoke]

this is nice cus im half-way in a trade in value basically

whenever i decide to

[cedar compass]

those german cars losing value so fast in US market lol

[mental yoke]

i wanted a land cruiser

[cedar compass]

but thanks to inflation , I sold my old car that I drove for 5 years like 5k$ more than I paid for it back then

[mental yoke]

but the options i wanted were like 10k more then the truck 🤷

yea i had an old escalade i bought for 12k pre covid and sold for 15 after

[wise wigeon]

lol zotac 5080 bundle thats cheaper than the aorus 5080

[cedar compass]

I paid 20k$ for my old s class and sold it for 25k at covid era

[mental yoke]

paid for the tires and o2 sensors, so it basically broke even

ur in germany? my choice of vehicle would change drastically depending on location

[cedar compass]

no lol I living in US but I'm actually from eastern europe so we love mercedes

[mental yoke]

mercedez in germany remidns me of hyundai in south korea, u get it there cus the parts are everywhere

[wise wigeon]

I mean yeah, when maitenence is easier its easier to like

[mental yoke]

biggly so yea

[cedar compass]

yeah there's lots of parts and repair is cheap for benz cars in eastern europe . that's why lots of people driving old benz instead of new toy cars

[wise wigeon]

in the US german cars have a stigma of being maitenence heavy and hard to repair so

[mental yoke]

i opted for the 6.6l gas 🧘 i gotta say it goes

big vroomies

[cedar compass]

yeah and even lots of services can't properly maintain them . and german cars loves regular and good maintaining

[mental yoke]

regular maintenance does wonders for things

basically why b52's been flying for, what, 80 years now?

something dumb

[cedar compass]

I drove my 2014 S class for 5 years and it never broke down . I do regular maintenance at every 10k miles

[mental yoke]

huh only 61.8 years old

oh thats average fleet health. thats weird google i just want to know its first flight

[cedar compass]

my dad had old 190E with 1.500.000km millage

[solemn lintel]

I have a decent budget, can someone give me the "best" pc build for about $1600

[mental yoke]

someone definitely can, its a very loaded question though

[cedar compass]

I'd ask it in #building-and-recc-chat in case this channel flows fast

[solemn lintel]

this is what someone gave me before with all my requirements

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/XayneEx/saved/#view=dCWc4D

but prices seem inflated now

[cedar compass]

ewww

[mental yoke]

i could fit it into the bed of my current truck

[random osprey]

looks like a car youd see a lot in hawaii

[cedar compass]

tech market sux nowadays

[mental yoke]

thats japan

[random osprey]

is that a second mirror on the hood?

[fierce grove]

is this on rtings.com

[mental yoke]

yea for parking

[cedar compass]

only japan car I like is LX570 i think lol

it have decent interior

[mental yoke]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi_Pajero_Mini that one was a 2008

its a micro suv with awd its weird

[random osprey]

id buy that

[mental yoke]

it was fun

[cedar compass]

I like boat sized cars

[mental yoke]

my truck is like a space ship size

i actually would rock it to the side and put blocks under tires it was so light

[sinful blade]

You need to copy the link from the actual list, not the webpage

[solemn lintel]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TrJZwY

whoops

thanks

[fierce grove]

could have gotten a 9700x for cheaper

[cedar compass]

I have 2021 S class as daily and 1965 thunderbird as muscle

[mental yoke]

that looks fine, 7900 xt is 20gigs?

[solemn lintel]

idk what that means 😭

[mental yoke]

theres defntly room for saving but like if u want those then get it

i just pick things cus i like what i see on the product page

[cedar compass]

yeah some parts can be found cheap around

[sinful blade]

It updates to current prices

[solemn lintel]

I mean I think a completely blacked build could be cool, and ive been told that its a grat bang for your buck build

just seems so expensive rn

I swear it was like $400 cheaper not long ago

[cedar compass]

like ebay have tons of cheap psus ( from gpu scalpers ofc lol )

[mental yoke]

you can pay a premium for any type of build

lots of cheaper stuff throws rgb on it

[sinful blade]

@solemn lintel if you give me a bit, I’ll throw one together(I gotta do laundry)

[mental yoke]

a completely black build will require some like.... research

[solemn lintel]

yea that would be awesome

[sinful blade]

Nah, it’s relatively easy

[mental yoke]

i actually bought noctuas blacked out cpu cooler its nice

[solemn lintel]

the one I sent is completly blacked

[mental yoke]

its easy yea but u need to look at a few items like the cpu cooler

[cedar compass]

just turn off leds

[wise wigeon]

ugh someone take my card away from me rn

[fierce grove]

why

[mental yoke]

i didnt really look at that list for the colors but now that i did yea its fine, the nvme isnt blacked out though

[sinful blade]

Nah, it’s still pretty easy

[sinful blade]

Nvme is usually covered by gpu

[wise wigeon]

i can't believe i'm even thinking about some of these bundles

its disgusting

[mental yoke]

can be yea, sometimes ill pop my nvme down below the gpu to show it off so depends on how they are presenting it and if they care or not

[sinful blade]

Get me a monitor while you’re at it

[fierce grove]

its not a bad idea, because the xt will heavily go up, the bundle stays the same

[sinful blade]

Personal preference

[wise wigeon]

no they price adjust lol

[solemn lintel]

I need a second pc for my condo so thats why im trying to get another one

[mental yoke]

sometimes a hardware requirement but that was more back in the day with older pcie lanes

[fierce grove]

well ig rn they are still good priced

[wise wigeon]

but me even looking at these 5080s is icky rn

[sinful blade]

Lemme do your list

[fierce grove]

fire hazard btw

[wise wigeon]

i mean if i was making money off my PC this would be not that bad but i'm not so

[mental yoke]

ill probably be lazy and just cop an alienware ngl

[wise wigeon]

probably worse than the bundles

[mental yoke]

i like the service contract to repair it for 4 years

[wise wigeon]

but nothing will be the ROG bucket

[mental yoke]

not that fixing computers is hard

[wise wigeon]

you trust dell to honor that?

[mental yoke]

yes ive used them many times

[wise wigeon]

but yeah if i was making some money off of my PC i'd entertain the idea but i'm not rn so unlucky

I'm generally rather frugal, its just the plan is a 5 year upgrade cycle

[mental yoke]

i try to buy for a 10 year upgrade cycle but i always get the itch around 4 yars

[wise wigeon]

10 years is a bit excessive on the gpu side

[mental yoke]

very yea

[wise wigeon]

dont think any modern gpu is gonna last the way 1080tis did

[mental yoke]

as long as i get 8k @ 120hz capable card ill be content

im fine with it just doing desktop stuff

[wise wigeon]

8k

[mental yoke]

yes please

[wise wigeon]

man remember that 3090 bs lol?

[mental yoke]

no what was that?

[wise wigeon]

first 8k card

[mental yoke]

i know the 2080ti was able to do 4k @ 120hz but only through usb-c hacks

and they were bad hacks

[wise wigeon]

oh you mean as just a display?

[mental yoke]

i want an 8k desktop on a monitor

and ill play games on another

[wise wigeon]

zotac cards aint even that ugly this time around

but still rather ugly comparatively

[mental yoke]

what one u loking at?

[wise wigeon]

not really entertaining the idea

its just the bundles were up

btw 9800x3ds on wegg in stock

if anyone is looking for those

[mental yoke]

i want one of those

[wise wigeon]

buy it nerd

if i hadn't already got a 9800x3d i woulda sprung for the 399 7800x3d though

[fierce grove]

9700x better

[wise wigeon]

its just sitting at my local walmart

honestly I find it a bit sad I can more easily add 5080s into my carts than 9070xts

the card i do want rn

cuz the 5080 is poo poo

thats why

[wise wigeon]

it obviously still sells out at 30-50% markups

[dense locust]

Gotta live near microcenter

[wise wigeon]

i mean i swear they only get astrals

thats all i see from "I got my 5090 /5080" posts

@solemn lintel overbudget, but upgrading the cpu and gpu

Get some of the parts used and you’ll be under budget probably

[wise wigeon]

just saw a post about someone trying to extrapolate how many people do live by a microcenter, they said 35% of the US which i think is a pile of BS

[dense locust]

They probably have a broad definition of “by”

[wise wigeon]

40-50 miles

[dense locust]

That’s “by”?

[wise wigeon]

yeah lol

[dense locust]

Space is by my house

[wise wigeon]

40-50 miles in orlando is like 3 hours

my brother takes like 45 minutes to go 10 miles in orlando

cant imagine miami is much better

[wise wigeon]

look man the I4 memes are real

[sinful blade]

I can go 10 miles in like 6 minutes here in pa

[wise wigeon]

they also included stores that arent open yet which is funny

[wise wigeon]

depends on the roads and traffic

and their 40 mile radius was a straight line

not the actual roads

like it really depends on the road and the city

[dense locust]

Well I don’t have a microcenter by me even with that definition

Closest one is like 7 hr drive

[wise wigeon]

mine is 200 miles out lol

[wise wigeon]

a 8 hour round trip + whatever waiting i needed to do

gas alone pushes the 600msrp to have costed me $200 ectra

[dense locust]

Ever since fry’s closed all we have is best buy

[wise wigeon]

and best buy doesnt get cards on release

[dense locust]

I mean technically they do
Just not in store

[wise wigeon]

i mean in store is what i mean

I just assume companies dont want to deal with the logistics

[dense locust]

Or the campers

[wise wigeon]

how many do we allocate to this store and that store, etc.

[real zenith]

how do i fix this

[wise wigeon]

people say that brick and mortar stock prevents scalpers but it just dont

[real zenith]

it’s sum with my mother board and i tried updating my drivers

Maybe i went to the wrong site or sum

[dense locust]

What am I looking at

[fierce grove]

am i lucky, mines 16 miles away

[wise wigeon]

because I see the pics of people who got cards at drops and they're literally like the same 5-10 people plus some others

[fresh timber]

I have two

Lmfao

[real zenith]

idk yall the pros

[wise wigeon]

Internet really gaslit people into thinking all intel cpus are bad lol

[real zenith]

it’s sum errors or sum

[dense locust]

Is it causing anything bad?

[real zenith]

no

but i wanna get rid of it

[wise wigeon]

bruv

[real zenith]

[fresh timber]

I love my 13600 kf

[real zenith]

[dense locust]

Intel: has a cpu that’s 10% worse than Amd
Amd fans: literal garbage

[wise wigeon]

people act like every AMD cpu is a x3d chip lol

https://tenor.com/view/gas-light-gate-keep-girl-boss-gif-1412650728602700835

[fresh timber]

Wait till theyfind out I beat a lot of AMD chips in everything that isn’t gaming

[sinful blade]

@real zenith Adrenalin software
Make sure all of your drivers are updated

[wise wigeon]

you'll beat some am5 in game too

[fresh timber]

Everything is an exaggerating btw

[fresh timber]

Ikr

[real zenith]

So download adrenalin software aii bet

that’s for gpu drivers ?

[fresh timber]

Only downside is I use ddr4 and it’s still plenty fast besides for my pisspoor 1% lows

[real zenith]

or my picture problem

[sinful blade]

Drivers

[real zenith]

aii yk anything about the picture or nah?

[wise wigeon]

the real reason to not support intel in the past was stagnation and the 1-2 generation motherboards

[fresh timber]

I can Handel a 4090 probably if I tried

[wise wigeon]

yes

[sinful blade]

Your storage problem I am unable to help, and would suggest to go to #storage-devices for troubleshooting

[fierce grove]
