[fierce grove]

Curious, what are u gonna use your pc for?

[dense locust]

Nvm it’s more like 11%

[small ridge]

Game development and gaming mostly just warzone and any battle royale game

[fresh timber]

4060 and 4060ti are lowkey nice gpus,

My friends have them, very nice

[sinful blade]

If they’re priced cheap

[wise wigeon]

price matters

[sinful blade]

They suck at standard pricing

[fresh timber]

Just saying, use case can matter hell

[small ridge]

Oo ok

[wise wigeon]

a like 250 4060 ti would kill

[sinful blade]

More like $225

[fresh timber]

I like the 4060ti cause I abused the 16gb vram to do ai

I like 4060 cause somehow a 5600g and 4060 gets more fps than me in Fortnite

[sinful blade]

If you get an 8gb ti, you’re just screwed(they exist)

[wise wigeon]

and they're 400

[fierce grove]

a 4060 should be perfect then, its $300

[sinful blade]

No it isn’t

[wise wigeon]

bud

no

[fierce grove]

what isnt

is it not good for his needs?

[wise wigeon]

its not good as a price

[fierce grove]

what is

[wise wigeon]

thats literally msrp from 2 years back

[sinful blade]

No

[fierce grove]

is it like way more expensiv eno

w

[sinful blade]

4060s are terrible performance for the price.

[small ridge]

Rtx 3080 is out of my budget unfortunately

[fierce grove]

its like 2nd rated best value on videobenchmarks

[sinful blade]

Take it like this

My 5700XT is $100. I only get slightly less performance(10-15) than a 4060.

[wise wigeon]

boi

[fierce grove]

oh cmon

LOL

[wise wigeon]

i catch those words come out your mouth again

[sinful blade]

Dawg, 4060 just is not it

[fierce grove]

YES SIR KBBQ_salute SORRY

[fierce grove]

my friend got it, and its good fro him

[sinful blade]

Check for a 3070

[sinful blade]

I also know people who have it

It works for them

But it’s not a good gpu for standard prices

[wise wigeon]

my friend has a 3060 it works for him, would i receomend paying what he paid for it? hell nah

[fierce grove]

isnt that nearly 700 bucks

[sinful blade]

Never will anyone in here recommend a 4060

[sinful blade]

No????

[wise wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/chicken-gif-2568640736599761295

[fierce grove]

i might be tripping

[sinful blade]

You’re on acid

[fierce grove]

i have very poop memory

[wise wigeon]

brother it was like 500 at launch

[fierce grove]

pc memory, and irl memory

[wise wigeon]

4 years ago

[fierce grove]

this prolly good

https://www.newegg.com/p/1FT-00EY-00010

[fierce grove]

never ever seen the model before tho

[wise wigeon]

@small ridge look up about 6700xt or 6750xt

[fierce grove]

tell him to get an intel athlon

best cpus

ever to be made

[wise wigeon]

intel athlon huh

[fierce grove]

anmd

amd

i meant

LOL

[wise wigeon]

just like the ryzen 4070

[sinful blade]

@fierce grove drink some water my guy

[fierce grove]

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+Athlon+64+2000%2B&id=2096

trust me

its fire

[wise wigeon]

the dual core g3258 was an unironically good cpu though

[fierce grove]

your cpu if you scroll

[wise wigeon]

i mean yeah

it was an unironically good cpu in 2014

it was like $75 and overclocked like a monster

[fierce grove]

can it run fortnite rtx 4k

[sinful blade]

@north crescent isn’t cpubenchmark the bad site

[wise wigeon]

yes

[fierce grove]

pretty sure its not that accurate

i mean they called the 9070 xt and the non xt a 25% difference

[sinful blade]

Imagine

[fierce grove]

tank you bruh, i just barely got it, went to MC and got like the 3rd last one

the red devil

😎

[fierce grove]

Mr Roomba, whats the best cpu to ever exist

[fresh timber]

chat u know what im about to do, 1440p gaming on a rx6600 cause thats the only monitor its plugged into right now

side note, im petty sure my ryzen system gets better lows than my faster intel one

[fierce grove]

prob gonna get like 60 fps

LOL

[sinful blade]

7800x3d

Legendary

But not the best

But most notorious

[fresh timber]

i mean im going to do gta kek

[fierce grove]

what about not even price related, just straight up the best

[fresh timber]

first test, gta enchanced raytracing

[wise wigeon]

sometimes i wounder if i wasnt better off just buying a prebuilt

there were like 1700 costco prebuilts with 4080S

[fresh timber]

i wis hi had a 4080

[wise wigeon]

think a lot of people would

[fresh timber]

i will die

before i get new gpu im going to figure out why in the hell my 1% lows are so poo

its prob ram but oo well

[wise wigeon]

he will be

he has 2 microcenters near him

and seemingly 90% of the worlds stock went to microcenters

[idle nexus]

bro

if modern AMD cards had this ability

I would switch fr

@rancid juniper lol

[fresh timber]

kek

[idle nexus]

RAM OC

but GPU RAM

VRAM

[fresh timber]

I hate gram

Soo dam sensitive

Go ahead and see what happens

[dusk knot]

Ladies

[fresh timber]

I identify as a Swiss cheese

[dusk knot]

[sinful blade]

Windows vista lookin

[idle nexus]

lol uh

[idle nexus]

it's ancient ya ngl

[worthy meteor]

3060mhz on core is the max boost clock, check GPUz perfcapreason for the reason why you're not boosting to that

[idle nexus]

HD7970 is like what? 2013 GPU? I forget

[fierce grove]

Yall want the best pc near 1.5k?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sq6KNz

this is your best bet

for gaming use

[misty sparrow]

but can it run Crysis?

[sinful blade]

Why the hell is the 2GB of ram $996

[frigid stag]

Ddr2 probably

It’s rare

[misty sparrow]

is it just that hard to come by DDR3 ram these days

[idle nexus]

check shopgoodwill.com

they have lots of jun... old ram

[sinful blade]

They actually will keep good stuff out of stores to be able to sell it online

Little scummy

[idle nexus]

? https://shopgoodwill.com/item/224130377

[sinful blade]

@idle nexus

[unreal trail]

[fresh timber]

worst settings

[idle nexus]

seems like they're all 1600mt/s

[fresh timber]

seagate

looses ur data

[idle nexus]

pointer trail is the worst lol

[real zenith]

ye

[fresh timber]

oop

[idle nexus]

only 3 million hours probably lol

these look kinda cool ig https://shopgoodwill.com/item/224339142

[fierce grove]

this is better https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sq6KNz

all yall got trash pcs

get the one above ^^

[fresh timber]

give me 4090

[fierce grove]

prob the worst gpu

[rancid juniper]

real

[idle nexus]

4090 with 16gb...?

[fierce grove]

just get this one

[rancid juniper]

😏

[idle nexus]

best driver btw

[fierce grove]

best cpu models are the amd athlons

[rancid juniper]

before misinformation gets spread im using optiscaler, so i can use DLSS

[misty sparrow]

what did you do to the 4090

oh nevermind

[fresh timber]

wait ur using a xtx?

[rancid juniper]

no

[fresh timber]

no 7800xt

[fierce grove]

best gpu guys (real this time)

https://www.newegg.com/p/1FT-0004-005P0?Item=9SIACTNAWK4693

not fake

trust me

[rancid juniper]

yes

[fresh timber]

ooo so amd gpus can run dlss?

[rancid juniper]

eh not quite

[fresh timber]

what part sof dlss ru using

[idle nexus]

has anyone used that magpie thing?

[rancid juniper]

if a game only has dlss upscaling it will take that and use another upscaler instead like XeSS or FSR

and sometimes help enable framegen if FSR 3 FG doesn't exist

or just use optiscaler's built in FG

[idle nexus]

https://github.com/Blinue/Magpie/releases

[rancid juniper]

what is this?

oh

[idle nexus]

never tried it tbh

[fierce grove]

only ram youll ever need tbh

https://a.co/d/e4DCApc

[rancid juniper]

never knew this was a thing till u posted it

[idle nexus]

lol 5600c46 is probably adie

[idle nexus]

I should try it on HD7970

[fresh timber]

a die

sometimes i think about swappint to am5 and getting like a 7700x

im looking for netherite

[misty sparrow]

pretty sure they did the same thing with Crysis too

run it windowed, low settings, then use windows zoom

[rancid juniper]

report back if you do

[dusk knot]

Anyone want some $17000 Brazilian wine?

[idle nexus]

get ddr5 board for 13600K

[fresh timber]

works for me

ill prob gain alot more

[idle nexus]

cheaper way to upgrade I think

[fresh timber]

okay thats it, when i get my money im buying a new motherboard and ddr5,

[idle nexus]

A-die is dirt cheap

[fresh timber]

i mean if i get the board and ram i want it will prob be like $300-400

[idle nexus]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BPHRVYX9?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2&th=1

5600c46-46-46-96

iirc

[fresh timber]

this is where we become diffent people kek, i buy rgb ram for the main rig kek

every other pc, idgaf

ngl

chat do i upgrade main rig to ddr5 or 2nd build to x3d

[idle nexus]

using that same cheap teamgroup rn

[fresh timber]

i can upgrade 2nd build to a lian li a3 easily ngl

the case is like $70

[idle nexus]

8200

[fresh timber]

what cpu is that

[idle nexus]

13900KS

that's borked as heck lol

[fresh timber]

unironicly id buy corsair ddr5 just cause i like how it looks

[fresh timber]

my homes open to broken cpus

id unclock that hoe and use it

[fierce grove]

whats the dif between ks and k

[idle nexus]

I'm gonna glue IHS back on & try to RMA at some point

[fresh timber]

u think they would find out

[idle nexus]

KS does 6ghz on cores 4 & 5 out of the box

[fresh timber]

sometimes i think about claiming my 13600kf is borked to get a 14600kf instead kek

[idle nexus]

14900KS does 6.2ghz on 4 & 5 out of the box

[fresh timber]

$20 more for a better sample.. who woudlnt buy that

[idle nexus]

I got this KS the day it came out on Newegg

[fresh timber]

even if i didnt wanna oc id buy the KS

like a better bin can go a long way

[idle nexus]

not my smartest purchase in hindsight...

I think 13900KS is like stupid cheap

[icy ore]

https://www.reddit.com/r/hardware/s/fVhx8x7UuE

Kek

Intel said 10ghz by 2005

[idle nexus]

er maybe not

[wraith fern]

2005

not 2025

[fresh timber]

ugh

[wraith fern]

right

[fresh timber]

i just relaised if i upgraded to ddr5 i might as well buy a 13900k if i wanted a new cpu

[wraith fern]

why get an lga1700 chip

[frigid stag]

Why not?

[wraith fern]

outdated at this point

no room for upgrade

what

im not talking about intel vs amd

im merely talking about the cpu slot

if you want to upgrade dont lock yourself in

[fresh timber]

so i can use the same motherboard

[wraith fern]

you cant use the same motherboard though

[fresh timber]

yes i can?

[wraith fern]

you have ddr4 right now?

[fresh timber]

yeah, still doesnts top the cpu from working in my current motherboard

[sinful blade]

Ddr4 is universal

[idle nexus]

remember those Bartlett Lake rumors?

[fresh timber]

i can go up to a 14900ks

[sinful blade]

AM4 and lga1700 are not

[wraith fern]

right but ddr5 cant go in a ddr4 board

?

[fresh timber]

yeah

[sinful blade]

Correct

[idle nexus]

dunno if those were ever true

[fresh timber]

ddr5 has a difrent pin out

[wraith fern]

im not asking a question

lmao

you have a ddr4 board

[fresh timber]

and?

[wraith fern]

and you want to use the same motherboard with ddr4..?

[fresh timber]

if i wanted better performance, yes

[wraith fern]

but you cant use the same motherboard

its a ddr4 board

[fresh timber]

why not

and?

[idle nexus]

https://www.techpowerup.com/331041/intel-bartlett-lake-appears-as-a-p-e-core-hybrid-p-core-only-cpus-could-soon-follow

[wraith fern]

ddr5 cant go in a ddr4 board

[fresh timber]

who said anything abt ddr5

[wraith fern]

you

[fresh timber]

i can just slap a newer cpu in it

[fresh timber]

correct i did

[wraith fern]

dawg this conversation is so stupid

[fresh timber]

yes

[fierce grove]

but can ddr4 go on a ddr5 board... *play intense music

[wraith fern]

its like im talking to a 7 year old

[fresh timber]

but your making it seem like i can just get a new cpu and no ram

[wraith fern]

no im not

[fresh timber]

theirs thousands of combos i could pick from

[wraith fern]

your grammar is so bad

[sinful blade]

OI

Chill out

[fierce grove]

guys you can use your room as the pc case and save money

[fresh timber]

yours does too seeing 3 people thought u was asking questions

[sinful blade]

You can use your ceiling fan as the cooling system

[wraith fern]

uh huh

[fresh timber]

frankly i likve lga1700 more than am5 unless x3d kek

[fierce grove]

i’ve been tryna tell people this forever LOL

[wraith fern]

why not just get am5 though?

[fresh timber]

its cooling my human body right now

[wraith fern]

i feel like you could upgrade more

[fresh timber]

i dont really care for it that much thats why

i can just get ddr5 and use current cpu, and if i want more i get a new cpu

[fierce grove]

You can use ddr2 ram, since it’s less new, it runs faster

[sinful blade]

https://youtu.be/0QdiiWJOCHY

[wraith fern]

i personally dont get the point of buying a new board to not be able to upgrade

[fierce grove]

LOL WTF

[fresh timber]

thats good for you

[wraith fern]

conquest

[fresh timber]

lol

[wraith fern]

can i ask why you change your name so much

[fresh timber]

because i can

[wraith fern]

lol

[sinful blade]

Why do you have your name as what it is?

All of you

Gimme some origin stories

[frigid stag]

Probably should get rid of that. Mfs going to think I’m a tweaker

[fresh timber]

which name? my real username

i was brain storming random usernames and came up with vex

[idle nexus]

my school assigned it as my email address lmao

[fierce grove]

In a week ima build a pc for the first time

Do i eat the thermal paste? or no.

i heard its better for cooling

[fresh timber]

ugh good good, idk which system i wanna upgrade the most, main pc or 2nd pc

what can ram oc better, a 13600kf or 5500

[idle nexus]

liquid metal is <3

[fresh timber]

lol if i knew liquid metal enough i would use it on my cpu

[fierce grove]

prolly the first one

[wraith fern]

youre overclocking ddr5?

[fresh timber]

refering to ddr4

[idle nexus]

depends a lot on the motherboard tbh

[fierce grove]

what about the fatherboard

[idle nexus]

I've never OCed 12/13/14th on DDR4 tbh

[fresh timber]

mhh yeah the motherboard my 5500 is on is.. well i can just show you

[fierce grove]

ts so tuff 🔥

[idle nexus]

TUF shouldn't be too bad

[fresh timber]

dont ask why i have three

[idle nexus]

for DDR5 get Asrock PG

[fresh timber]

ngl its not a bad motherboard

[fierce grove]

why do u have 3

[idle nexus]

supposedly it's OC monster for mem

[fresh timber]

i have three systems kek

[fresh timber]

[frigid stag]

Should see my asrock board

[fierce grove]

is that a ghost ram

to the left

LOL

[fresh timber]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VqT8PJ the 2nd pc, goin get that ram and case for her, i might skip the psu

[idle nexus]

Z790 Apex or Z790 Apex Encore is really good but spensive

[fierce grove]

ohh

[fresh timber]

i forget that ddr5 cant run 4 sticks ;/

[idle nexus]

I have a Z690 Unify-X. Don't get that lol

[fierce grove]

one word. gloves

[idle nexus]

It's ehh

I dunno newer BIOS might be better

the problem with Dark there's no support anymore

I have Z690 Dark, Z690 Unify-X, & Z790 Apex

[fresh timber]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/QQXJ7P/nzxt-n7-z790-atx-lga1700-motherboard-n7-z79xt-b1 i kinda want this

[idle nexus]

Apex is best for sure tbh

[fresh timber]

bro the sexiest motherboards are always mf white

[fierce grove]

racially motivated?

i think so

LMAOFMAOMFOAMAMFOA

[idle nexus]

Z790 Apex is pretty heckin nice looking

[fierce grove]

he does NOT like the black ones!

[idle nexus]

depends on the board

[fresh timber]

I NEED MY MONEY SOONER

depending on how much i wouldnt have a problem with like, a $300 motherboard lol

[idle nexus]

there's a huge difference between runs for benchmarks & daily stable

[fresh timber]

id wanna run daily stable tbh

just as fast as possible

[safe cape]

https://www.onitsukatiger.com/jp/en-gl/backnumber/news_mexico66sdmetallic.html @reef grove

[idle nexus]

7200 is usually safest bet

but that's kinda boring lol

[fresh timber]

darn

im getting super close to the, just buy am5 range kek

oo welllllllllll

ill regret not doing am5 later, not today

[frigid stag]

Best 4 dimm iirc is the gigabyte master

Itx probably best for ram oc on the “cheap”

[fresh timber]

i lowkey wanna try getting 8000 stable

[frigid stag]

“Cheap” like 250 bucks

[fresh timber]

bro

i wish my build was white cause thee white mobos are fire

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/TDXV3C/gigabyte-z790-aorus-pro-x-wifi7-atx-lga1700-motherboard-z790-aorus-pro-x-wifi7 id buy this lowkey

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/hhGhP6/asrock-z790-nova-wifi-atx-lga1700-motherboard-z790-nova-wifi oooo

BETTER HVE STOCK when i can buy

that io

[wise wigeon]

yall got fleeced

mine was like $70 and came with a like embroidered champagne glass

[fresh timber]

damn

[unreal trail]

[wise wigeon]

i mean the glass fit the theme it was like beauty and the beast themed

[tranquil pebble]

I put a frozen sandwich in the air fryer. About to test if air fryer is good for it.

[open knoll]

I have a 20% bottleneck am I cooked ? 💔

[tranquil pebble]

those calculators are nonsensical

[sinful blade]

What’s your build

[open knoll]

I9-9900k 5070 ti

[fresh timber]

ew

5070ti

[open knoll]

I needed an upgrade 😭

[frigid stag]

W combo

[fresh timber]

you need a 9070xt

[open knoll]

I bought a ryzen 7 9800

[young pulsar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/V4P9RV

[open knoll]

Just need a motherboard

[young pulsar]

Considering

[frigid stag]

I know a guy that sold his 4070ti just to get 5070 ti

[fresh timber]

is that a upgrade?

[frigid stag]

Should’ve just kept his card

[fresh timber]

a 9070xt can be faster than a 5070ti

[frigid stag]

Bro lost 500 selling it

[fresh timber]

so thats not really a cope

[frigid stag]

Bought for 1k sold for 550

[craggy shoal]

"Okay buddy" opinion immediately invalidated

[sinful blade]

Solid list
The case gets a little toasty but should be fine

[hoary zodiac]

I sent a list yesterday

You probably didn't see it so I'll repost

[young pulsar]

Oh

I had went asleeep

[hoary zodiac]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/v2BhYd

[empty tide]

Reading these comments puts* me a bit more at ease that I spent $650 on a 3090

[tranquil pebble]

650 is a good deal for a 3090

[young pulsar]

Benchmarks?

[empty tide]

Well i guess im about to invalidate my opinion by saying its used (duh) ripped from an alienware

Or some other dell product

[frigid stag]

Oof that cpu

Better to get a 5600 tbh

[hoary zodiac]

https://youtu.be/PpxMKtbI8G8

[frigid stag]

5700 is somehow worse

It’s weird but it is

[hoary zodiac]

The 6950XT outperforms the 7700xt review?

[tranquil pebble]

even used they often go for like $900

[hoary zodiac]

Source?

[frigid stag]

Let me find the benchmark then

[empty tide]

Wait really? Hold on lemme check

[hoary zodiac]

That is very alarming if true

[young pulsar]

Link to the 6950?

[empty tide]

My goodness you weren't far off

[frigid stag]

That’s the 10 game average

[mortal grail]

https://fixupx.com/PrintsandtheRev/status/1898013636548759896?t=9_2xLiJhbkexZHKjYDFKgg&s=19

[hoary zodiac]

...

[empty tide]

And this is an OEM model worse than mine

[mortal grail]

Half l3

[hoary zodiac]

You've got to be kidding me the 6950 is gone already

This market

Guess I'm working off the 7700 list

[young pulsar]

I don’t even know if it’s good

2 ram slots

[frigid stag]

That’s better

[mortal grail]

2 ram slots is better

[frigid stag]

2 > 4

[mortal grail]

Runs wayyyy better

[young pulsar]

I don’t need 4 slot

[frigid stag]

Man that sounds so bad out of context

[hoary zodiac]

I'd just swap the motherboard

[young pulsar]

?

[hoary zodiac]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8nN2zP

[frigid stag]

No just 2

[mortal grail]

No one was thinking that, now everyone is thinking that dummy

[frigid stag]

[empty tide]

It seems the days of cheap 5700x3d are over

Glad I got mine for $140

[hoary zodiac]

I really wouldn't cheap out on the motherboard that much

The B850-X isn't great

[young pulsar]

Okay

AliExpress good?

How often do they take to ship

[hoary zodiac]

As long as you buy from a reputable seller

Szcpu is usually safe

[frigid stag]

Few weeks

[empty tide]

That's who igot my 5700x3d from if I remember correctly

[young pulsar]

.

[mortal grail]

**Geniune, szcpu

Some szcpu fakes out there

[young pulsar]

Few weeks?

[frigid stag]

Ye it takes a while

[mortal grail]

You can pick up on which is the real one tho

[frigid stag]

They’re from China so

[hoary zodiac]

A small price to pay

[frigid stag]

It takes time

[hoary zodiac]

For like $50 savings on average

[young pulsar]

Actually

Maybe I can find something faster

Hold on

[hoary zodiac]

All the sub $500 cards are gone now

It was nice while it lasted

[frigid stag]

Better deals on eBay tbf

And you can see the condition it’s in

[hoary zodiac]

True

[young pulsar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/26mQLc

[hoary zodiac]

Could probably get a 7800XT

If used

[young pulsar]

How trustworthy are used

[hoary zodiac]

That power supply is suspect

[young pulsar]

I heard they can be mined

[hoary zodiac]

Ebay has pretty good buyer protection

[young pulsar]

Oh

Is it high fail potential?

[hoary zodiac]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pwjbVF

This is a better psu

[hoary zodiac]

Yes

[young pulsar]

Does it have enough connectors

7700 XT needs 2 pcir

Pcie 8

It says 0 on

[hoary zodiac]

A 650w generally should come with enough

[dense locust]

just buy a 1600w just in case gotta future proof||/j||

[hoary zodiac]

Unless it's a XPG Kyber

[hoary zodiac]

The other one is a bomb

So

[dense locust]

https://tenor.com/view/power-supply-psu-explodes-x-kom-gif-13279795578291244134

[hoary zodiac]

Yes there are in fact enough connectors

[young pulsar]

So the 6+2 pin will have 8 pins

[hoary zodiac]

Yes

[young pulsar]

Okay good

[hoary zodiac]

I might try round out the list a bit

Since there's $10 to work with

[dense locust]

math

[young pulsar]

Now all I need is a usb drive for windows Indtallation

[hoary zodiac]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/R6P9RV

Still headroom

Even with a better ssd

[young pulsar]

I’m sorry

Missclick

[hoary zodiac]

hm?

[young pulsar]

I had accidentally clicked on a reaction

[hoary zodiac]

oh lmao

[young pulsar]

Klevv bad? It says it dies out

On the review

[idle nexus]

heck I bricked 7970 with Lightning vBIOS

Jet engine

Testing phase for operation

[pliant berry]

bruh

[lone mango]

When I put nobara on my laptop it told me my password is insecure

Not because of the number of characters but because of the numbers used

Said it fails the dictionary check

Cooked me right after installing

[pliant berry]

this is what they are telling me

I'd be shocked if my password was the reason. it's most likely just the email

[lone mango]

Wow thats brutal

Brutal ownage

But good they take it seriously

[fresh timber]

xfinity upgraded my intenet

im not complaining, more upload

[lone mango]

Is it possible that it is because of less traffic or has it been like that for a good bit

[dense locust]

thats 3 times more upload than what i get

[lone mango]

I think im around half or maybe 60%

Stupid that they didnt scale upload speeds like they do with download

[reef grove]

Bro remembers I love onitsuka tigers?

[lone mango]

Depends on area

Out of stock.

Ugh 🥲

[reef grove]

@safe cape do you know if they ship to the US? Last I knew they stopped selling in the US and you had to buy from eBay resellers, so I stopped buying. Been waiting for my sister to go back to Japan for business trip and get me a pair

[hoary zodiac]

the 7700XT?

[young pulsar]

Yes

[hoary zodiac]

yeah that's a trend these days

the 6950XT from yesterday was a prime example

[young pulsar]

4060?

[hoary zodiac]

absolutely not

the 4060 is even worse than the 3060ti

[young pulsar]

What

Nothing is good these days due to price 😫

[hoary zodiac]

might unironically have to look for a used gpu

we really are at the point where the market is so garbage that $1K pc builds need used gpus

[young pulsar]

Last Christmas everything was better

[idle nexus]

why would you do red to black that's just confusing

[hoary zodiac]

absolutely

[idle nexus]

heatshrink it & call it a day

[hoary zodiac]

you could build a 7900XT build for $1k to $1.5k

I'd say 1.2

7700XT was around $290 I think?

[young pulsar]

6750 XT is ragebait

Instant out of stock

[hoary zodiac]

7800XT was around $370?

not sure but they used to cheaper

[young pulsar]

I saw it for 404

[hoary zodiac]

last christmas

the market was way better a couple months ago

[fresh nova]

I gave you my heart

This year

Bottleneck?

[lone mango]

[fresh nova]

If you gonna do it do it right the first time.

[idle nexus]

12100F is better

because you can clockgen it

but ig you need a clockgen board

so meh

[fresh nova]

At that rate just get an i5

Or Ryzen

[young pulsar]

Best bet right now is a 4060 or something used

[fresh nova]

Some of the Ryzen's still have a simple 6/8 core set up with none of the nonsense e-cores.

[fresh nova]

e-cores trigger me.

[young pulsar]

Idk what that is but

You could understand it

[idle nexus]

13100F can't do that

12100F running at 5.4ghz with memory 7000c32 memory

[fresh nova]

[young pulsar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RwJTjn

[fierce grove]

do yall usually eat your cpu thermal paste or nah

[young pulsar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9YYbVF

[hoary zodiac]

damn

that is really bad for $1000

jesus christ what has happened to the market

I'd strongly advise getting a used gpu at this point

[low rivet]

i remember during 30 series era you could get a 3070 build way back for less than 1k after stock normalized

the 10 series was even better

[hoary zodiac]

you could get a 7900XT build for ~$1000-1500 a couple months back

I might be misremembering so

I'd say $1.2k to $1.5k

1k seems too low for a $699 gpu

[low rivet]

the 7900xt was around 550~ during black friday so you could definetely make a pretty good build around 1100

[hoary zodiac]

oh

oh yeah so around $1.1k-1.3k

yeah my lower estimate was a bit low

I'd say $1.2k for a more rounded build

[idle nexus]

is B580 available yet?

[hoary zodiac]

I miss 2024

[low rivet]

the 7900xtx at one point was 760 dollars on bf last year. i really regret not getting it

[idle nexus]

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16814883006

heck I missed the out of stonk part

derp

[low rivet]

if you download hotstock you should get a ping for it a couple times every week. it was going off like crazy before the 50 series launch and you could actually buy it

[hoary zodiac]

yeah

it pretty much matches the 9070XT

[idle nexus]

I'm good on GPUs for now but when it's in stonk, it's better than 4060 price

[hoary zodiac]

the value in retrospect was just as good as the 9070XT (technically slightly worse but what are the chances of anyone actually getting a msrp 9070XT)

at least if you go of the $760 figure and not the msrp

[idle nexus]

wait so I still don't get this

why is the market in such a crazy state rn?

[hoary zodiac]

nvidia

[idle nexus]

there's no crypto boom

[hoary zodiac]

nvidia botched the 50 series launch hard it sparked a artificial scarcity

[idle nexus]

well why did everyone just decide all at once that they needed a new GPU yesterday lol

[low rivet]

ai datacenters are taking up all the tsmc wafers instead of gaming gpus

[icy ore]

Lmao

[hoary zodiac]

it is entirely an nvidia skill issue

they screwed up the launch so hard it sparked a mass panic

scalpers also saw blood and just went all in

it's the same situation as the 9800X3D

intel screwed up so hard there wasn't stock for the 9800X3D (nor msrp cpus)

[idle nexus]

but low supply doesn't matter as much if there's low demand

why is demand so high?

[hoary zodiac]

well that's the thing

[idle nexus]

people just wanna play games rn?

[hoary zodiac]

the demand is higher than the actual demand

a lot of it is artificial

[idle nexus]

it's not like some amazing game just dropped

[low rivet]

thing is though the 9800x3d is still at msrp pricing. the only msrp card are the FE's now, the rest of the fe models don't go on sale

[hoary zodiac]

it was up $100 a month or 2 back

thank god X3D prices are normalised now

[low rivet]

9800x3d listings are up hours now

[hoary zodiac]

yeah

AMD probably ramped up their supply

or maybe people just calmed down on buying or scalping

[idle nexus]

I still don't understand this panic buying

[hoary zodiac]

a lot of it are scalpers

[idle nexus]

it's like COVID toilet paper effect

[hoary zodiac]

they drive the price up

[idle nexus]

ya but their prices can only be high if people will pay them

[hoary zodiac]

exactly

but you see

a lot of people who buy gpus are powered by ChatGPT

[idle nexus]

but why now? why is demand so high? why would people rather pay double instead of waiting like 2-3 months?

if there was crypto money to be made, it would make sense

[hoary zodiac]

that's also a part of the problem

[idle nexus]

but there's nothing like that present rn

[low rivet]

honestly stock might stay the same or get worse in 2-3 months

[hoary zodiac]

the consumers supporting those prices are contributing to the price hikes

a large problem of the problem is FOMO

[low rivet]

pricing is probably going to only go up

[hoary zodiac]

and people being stupid

[idle nexus]

oh is that what's going on?

people are convinced they have to buy before tariffs increase price

[hoary zodiac]

go on reddit

you will see people cope about buying a $3000 gpu

[idle nexus]

so they pay double so later they don't have to pay less than double lmao

[hoary zodiac]

aren't tariffs already in place?

[rancid juniper]

these OCCT whea errors make me wanna slap the CPU

[hoary zodiac]

and even then

here's the thing tho

[idle nexus]

someday they're gonna stop allowing new posts on reddit & convert it to the Digital Museum of Human Stupidity

[hoary zodiac]

a lot of the price hikes are coming out of thin air

and yet people still buy them

because they're stupid

[rancid juniper]

if yall talking about AMD's launch i heard something about rebates or whatever

[idle nexus]

loosen timings & verify that you don't get WHEAs just cuz of frequency

[mortal grail]

I thought that was tiktok

[hoary zodiac]

or twitter

[idle nexus]

if you do, you need to mess with voltages

[hoary zodiac]

twitter is like

the internet version of the balkans

[rancid juniper]

so far i only decreased the ring clocks from 4800 back to 4500mhz (stock)

[idle nexus]

damn ig they're gonna have to make like a digital Smithsonian

[rancid juniper]

hopefully it'll clear

[mortal grail]

Oh no 90c

[hoary zodiac]

oh god imagine what the balkan side of twitter looks like

[idle nexus]

wait are you testing smallFFTs?

[rancid juniper]

1.18v too... Aircooler is cooked

[velvet summit]

damn that took a while
removing the old adhesive took like an hour 💀

[mortal grail]

Boi toasting

[rancid juniper]

yuh, its annoying but NECESSARY

[velvet summit]

(replacing a phone battery)

[hoary zodiac]

A Serbian, Bosnian, Croatian, Bulgarian and a Romania walk into a bar...

[idle nexus]

your whea errors are likely CPU voltage

not memory

[velvet summit]

im finally finished after like 3 hours of work

[rancid juniper]

not at all, i could run linpack and it would come out stable

SmallFFTs are annoying

[velvet summit]

my fingers are sore

[idle nexus]

OC procedure: (1) find memory frequency with loose timings; (2) tighten timings; then (3) OC CPU

[rancid juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/rage-throw-angry-smash-gif-15838617

[velvet summit]

fingertips arent sore though

[hoary zodiac]

@opaque sedge

[velvet summit]

lmao

[idle nexus]

CPU OC before memory OC will make your life difficult

because you can't isolate variables well

[rancid juniper]

fml

[idle nexus]

& a CPU OC that works with memory at stock or XMP won't always run with memory OC

sometimes CPU needs additional voltage to handle the increased memory speed

[hoary zodiac]

why are there all these bots in #no-mic-chat

[rancid juniper]

Any more and I'm hitting the throttle zone

[hoary zodiac]

they're learning

[rancid juniper]

Vroom vroom crash

[hoary zodiac]

speaking of crash

is crypto still down

[rancid juniper]

At this point I might ditch 5.4ghz altogether and go back to 5.2ghz

[idle nexus]

if you're going to use OCCT, test memory with AVX2; Large FFTs; Extreme; Variable

large FFTs stress memory controller a lot more than small FFTs

[rancid juniper]

I see

[idle nexus]

small FFTs test CPU OC really well tho

[rancid juniper]

It heckin does

[idle nexus]

ya it gets hot as heck lol

[rancid juniper]

I could live my life oblivious to the fact that the PC works but OCCT said na

Imma make you angry

[idle nexus]

lol you have no idea

how much I hate OCCT Large

it took me over a month to stabilize 7000c32 on 12900K

[mortal grail]

You can buy that for 500 from that framechasers dude

https://tenor.com/view/gameboyluke-crash-blue-screen-gif-23555440

[rancid juniper]

You see, this is what I DON'T wanna deal with

[idle nexus]

tbh to test memory, ycruncher vt3 is best now

[rancid juniper]

I passed that

[mortal grail]

Man times are tough

[idle nexus]

lol I remember OCCT Large once hit error at 59:3x

I almost cried

[fierce grove]

chat, do i needa do anything special when building my pc, or do i just build it and then im good. (bouta build it in a week)

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qHVDmC

How mousefeelpilled you gotta be to buy framechaser's 10 subtimings for $100 a number

It indeed is but not when it's a grand

HOPEFULLY IT DOESN'T WHEA

and if it does...

imma lose it

[idle nexus]

what's your LLC?

[rancid juniper]

just auto

[idle nexus]

which board is it again?

[rancid juniper]

changing LLC actually makes it worse

MSI Z690 Pro-A DDR4

[mortal grail]

Doesn't he brag about importing TV's illegally or some stupid thing

[idle nexus]

heck I forget LLCs for MSI

I can check tho hold on

[mortal grail]

He brags about the illegal part tho lmfao

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

[frigid stag]

Ye

[mortal grail]

If that's not a darwin test idk what is

[rancid juniper]

Framechasers sounds like an Annoying bozo

[frigid stag]

I mean nothing will happen to him for that

[mortal grail]

Go read 5 of the dude's thumbnails and you'll know

[frigid stag]

It’s a different audience

[atomic mist]

Corsair ram

[frigid stag]

Cod bros talk like that so he adapts

[rancid juniper]

I see

[frigid stag]

He’s in the cod bro scene

Or was

[hoary zodiac]

Brainrot tubers

[idle nexus]

Overclocking>DigitALL Power\CPU Loadline Calibration Control Mode 5 or 6 is what I'd usually use

[hoary zodiac]

I swear if this generation grows up to talk like that

[idle nexus]

you know there are other ways

[mortal grail]

Imagine feeling like your mousefeel is better after paying a grand for game stable ram settings

[hoary zodiac]

I'm going to retire early

[frigid stag]

It is but not 1k better

Idk some people have the money to pay who cares

It’s not worth much to them

[rancid juniper]

168... 168W FOR 5.2GHZ?!?!?!?

raptorFIRE

[mortal grail]

We've had those people in here

[rancid juniper]

no lakes

just lava

[frigid stag]

Framechasers audience?

[mortal grail]

Angry that we give away this info for free and show them that their PC's are slower lmao

[idle nexus]

can you enable Intel Adaptive Boost Technology?

[mortal grail]

Actually yes and they're funny af

[frigid stag]

When

[idle nexus]

then mess with Thermal Velocity Boost

[hoary zodiac]

How many of them got banned

[mortal grail]

First example in my head is red lantern

[frigid stag]

I mean I’ve seen his videos too but i obv haven’t paid for a consult

[rancid juniper]

TVB... i dont want to spend time with that i like the simplicity unfortunately

[atomic mist]

I lived through the purge.

[rancid juniper]

im just crossing my fingers with this tune rn

[idle nexus]

the thing is, it is simplicity

it'll figure out voltage for you

[hoary zodiac]

https://tenor.com/view/stalin-photoshop-gif-25202160

[rancid juniper]

voltage: 1.35v needed

😳

[frigid stag]

Ye idk anyone from that audience except for like 1 or 2 people just from the chat when I watched

[mortal grail]

We had a guy who paid like 500 to a fortnite "overclocker" and lost like 20% fps

[rancid juniper]

fortnite + overclocker doesn't mix well

[misty sparrow]

The clock was in 24-hour time

[hoary zodiac]

That's the price of a GPU

Wtf

[frigid stag]

Not going to name drop for obvious reasons but starts with an N

[icy ore]

At that point just give up. No more pc

Sell it and don’t look back

[idle nexus]

for me it's
TVB Voltage Optimizations: Enabled
Enhanced TVB: Enabled
Overclocking TVB: Boost Until Target
Max Boost Target in Mhz: [set what you want it to boost to]

[rancid juniper]

ok no IA + ring limit reasons good

[fresh timber]

mhh

i want faster internet

[idle nexus]

it'll try to hit the boost target & if it hits 70C it'll downbin

[rancid juniper]

ill keep that in mind

[frigid stag]

I get a quarter of that

[idle nexus]

unless you wanna offset the downbin temperatures

[mortal grail]

[Name your character]

[idle nexus]

I've set them to 99C for first downbin & 90C for second lol

[rancid juniper]

playing with fire

🔥

[idle nexus]

that's why my 13900KS is borked probably

[wicked oriole]

Guys I need some help lol I'm installing an ssd and idk how to get my gpu out

I took out the 3 screws in the back, but idk how to tell if it's clipped in?

[hoary zodiac]

There should be a clip at the end of the pcie slot

[frigid stag]

You have to unclip the thing on the pcie slot

[idle nexus]

unscrew the screws on the PCIe slot; remove power cable(s); undo clip on x16 PCIe bracket; Pull gently

[rancid juniper]

🗿

https://tenor.com/view/memes-smashing-pc-breaking-keyboard-radge-gif-26483855

[frigid stag]

Are you sure it’s the cpu causing that

[idle nexus]

you can also set Overclocking TVB: Enabled then set the ratio based on number of cores active

[frigid stag]

Could be broken windows install

[rancid juniper]

I'll test the ram tomorrow dammit

[frigid stag]

It could be ram as well

[wicked oriole]

Is the black piece to the right the clip?

[idle nexus]

that might have a button to open PCIe slot

[rancid juniper]

Stupid ass CPU hungers for more, I hate this architecture

😡

[idle nexus]

let TVB figure it out lol

[wicked oriole]

This whole mobo

[idle nexus]

save current BIOS profile & try it

[rancid juniper]

Ugh

Fine

[fierce grove]

make ur own CPU 😡

[fierce grove]

Ah yes, the belly button. Responsible for making the mobo work.

[idle nexus]

lol or don't. I don't wanna make things more complicated for you my bad

[fierce grove]

LOL

[frigid stag]

Probably degraded

[rancid juniper]

I need 300 IQ + lots of money + factory to do that

I don't have all three

[fierce grove]

its ez

get a bunch of rock

[idle nexus]

I have none of those lol

[fierce grove]

and hope it works

[wicked oriole]

I just figured that lol pull hard?

[rancid juniper]

I can give it a shot no worries

[idle nexus]

go to beach, get sand, ez

[rancid juniper]

Real

[idle nexus]

it should be fairly easy to pull out (pull straight) as long as the PCIe slot screws are off on the back of the case

[fierce grove]

i found a rock and accidentally made a refurb 9950x

[hoary zodiac]

d/dx [9800X3D]

[fierce grove]

all you gotta do is skip a pebble, each skip adds a core

[hoary zodiac]

∫ (sand)dx = 9800X3D + C

[idle nexus]

iirc the default setting is the CPU will downbin at 70C (i.e., if you set 56x, it'll drop to 55x when it hits 70C) but you can make it downbin at a higher temp or lower temp by setting "Overclocking TVB Global Temperature Offset Sign" to "+" to make it downbin at a higher temp or "-" for a lower temp. "Overclocking TVB Global Temperature Offset Value" is how much above/below 70C it'll downbin

[rancid juniper]

I don't think overclocking ring ratio brings any benefits to these modern cpus except instability

I'm skipping that

[idle nexus]

glue pebbles together to make Epyc CPU

[fierce grove]

∫ Pi^2x=10 = 19400k

[hoary zodiac]

What

[fierce grove]

a better method is smacking granite and marble together, it creates integrated graphics

leaked ur addy

delete

immeidately

LOL

[idle nexus]

you can set it to 50x then leave "Cache Dynamic OC Switcher" to Auto & TVB will downbin it like cores

[brazen fable]

Hey guys, I got 3 free 1tb M.2 sata drives and I didn’t realize they where sata, do u think it’s worth buying a 20$ converter to plug it into a nvme m.2 slot ? 🤔

[open knoll]

lol it’s just zip and name

[hoary zodiac]

You can get a sata HBA card

[rancid juniper]

Dang I remember setting it to 49x and everything froze

[frigid stag]

Probably left

[brazen fable]

Send a link please

[idle nexus]

if I could do it all over again, I'd probably get an MSI ACE cuz it looks so heckin nice

[hoary zodiac]

You might want to ask the folks in #storage-devices

They can find enterprise hardware for pretty cheap

[idle nexus]

Taichi has been pretty good ig. The Taichi Lite is a good board for the price iirc

[open knoll]

Will check out

[brazen fable]

Me?

[hoary zodiac]

Yes

[idle nexus]

if X670Es are cheaper than X870s, you might wanna get one because the only difference is like USB 4.0 support or something

[brazen fable]

Ok

[wicked oriole]

Do I need to hold down the button when putting my gpu back in?

[idle nexus]

& some X670Es support USB 4... or is it 5? I don't keep up with USB gens lol

[rancid juniper]

anyway to fix this? @idle nexus

[idle nexus]

no it'll just click in

[brazen fable]

I just realized I was in general and not build chat

Ah shoot

[fierce grove]

buy a new pc

[rancid juniper]

yea, i should. hated raptorlake anyways

ONTO ZEN 5

[idle nexus]

you'd probably have to change Cache SVID voltage to Adaptive or increae ICCMax which iirc allows CPU to run more amps

[rancid juniper]

oh no monies

[fierce grove]

yeah get this one

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sq6KNz

i made this list, its really good value

[rancid juniper]

😳

[fierce grove]

trust me

look at it

LOL

[frigid stag]

Can’t you rma the cpu

[rancid juniper]

legit had the cpu at 250a

it needs more is nuts

[fierce grove]

what do rma mean

[frigid stag]

Warranty

[dusk knot]

Tsk...

[fierce grove]

what the hell are u running

cricket wirelss ethernet?
