Lol

wicked oriole
#

if he wasnt on a 1660 i wouldnt be worried

mortal grail
#

1660 oof

wicked oriole
#

but i'm pretty sure nvidia stopped drivers for that, and im sure its hindering him from games he probably wants to play

mortal grail
#

The bigger problem is the vram on that thing

wicked oriole
#

yeah lol so i feel bad

#

plus it slightly gives me a reason to upgrade some stuff in mine to hand off the old stuff to him

psu came in

#

but i cant play games until monday

I'm coming for that gpu

In this hardware news episode, NVIDIA addresses the supply and demand situation by saying it has sold "2x" the amount of RTX 50 series GPUs as 40 series. Also related to NVIDIA, there have been rumors of missing ROPS on upcoming laptops, rumors of RTX 5050 and 5060 or 5060 Ti ...

is the MasterLiquid ML360R RGB good?

nyo

#

but no idea if that specific one is good tho

#

huh

#

thermal grizzly is selling delidded 9800x3d

Some people really think gpu market is gonna crash

#

Crazy

It won't lol

Def not its a scalper world

People have no scope of economics

I mean it might one day

But they'd really need to f up

my pc guy sent me this, am i good chat

#

nothing is out of order

craggy shoal
#

(I’m joking lol it's perfectly fine)

#

(It makes me want to repaste my AIO)

Speaking of GPU market

balmy solstice

now it's all better

#

😌

fierce grove
craggy shoal
#

Makes me jealous tbh lol. My idle temps aren't that great (I didn’t paste my CPU that well)

tranquil pebble
#

I made a mess out of the thermal paste last I applied it, but it came out great in the end lol

#

planning to just use thermal pads from now on, even if it is more expensive for good ones

devout forum
#

also is push vs pull on AIOs matter at all?

#

not even for performance, but like convenience

wise wigeon

#

i dont think we will ever be in one agian

wise wigeon
#

That a hilarious thought though

devout forum
wise wigeon
#

It’s funny like the last 3-4 centuries in xx20 or around that there has been pandemics

devout forum
#

Cuz then push wins solely on aesthetics

wise wigeon
#

Pull is easier to mount depending on case

#

Iirc the actual perf difference is marginal

mortal grail
#

And that's in the worst situations

wise wigeon
#

I can’t really talk to much on advantages because my freezer 2 was running push and pull for the last few years

#

So it was a hassle regardless

#

I'm more asking in terms of cleaning

idle nexus
#

unless your radiator is realllllllly dense

devout forum
#

though the 2000D has the dust filters in the panel

idle nexus
#

either way, dust gets on radiator

devout forum
#

and the LF3 has a really un-dense fin array

#

(IDK what the opposite of dense is ngl)

idle nexus
#

actually neither do I now that I think of it lol

#

ig you say either high density or low density?

#

more/less dense

#

heck

idle nexus
#

idle temps are kinda meaningless

#

like ooo 30C when I'm not using it

#

if it's still 99C when you do then

#

lol

devout forum
#

But ye

#

going AIO for a 7700 PBO'd to be akin to a 7700X (and later a 9800X3D) might be overkill

#

but I'm okay with it cuz I wanna try out mounting an AIO and daily it then

storm narwhal
#

Sparse

#

Brothers

idle nexus
#

one advantage of Liquid Freezer 2-3 is I think it comes with AMD offset mounts

devout forum
idle nexus
#

iirc the 280mm LF2 I got like 20 minutes before LF3 dropped (derp) came with them

devout forum
#

LF3 has mandated offset for AM5

#

LF2 don't

storm narwhal
#

Lmao tbf some native speakers don't understand English either

devout forum
#

Either way

idle nexus
#

it's a difficult language cuz there are some patterns

#

& even more exceptions lol

devout forum
#

it do be what it is

idle nexus
#

imo best way to improve thermals

devout forum
#

Anyway

idle nexus
#

liquid metal <3

devout forum
#

Nah

#

I'm not going that far

#

Not even gonna delid

#

no point with a 7700X

#

Besides I'll have a spare heatsink in case something goes wrong with the AIO anyway

idle nexus
#

lol I delidded 7900X3D & dremel cut the direct die frame to make it fit

devout forum
#

dedication ngl

idle nexus
#

in hindsight, I probably wouldn't do it again

devout forum
#

I'd never have the guts to do that

idle nexus
#

fair

paper verge
#

hello

devout forum
#

I just want it to work, and work for a long time

idle nexus
#

I delidded 13900KS, 13600K, 12900K, 10900K, 10700KF, 7900X3D, & 11600K

devout forum
#

potentially years

idle nexus
#

& the only one that was a total loss was the 11600K

#

heckin SMDs

devout forum
#

rip

idle nexus
#

ah I sent it to this guy I know from hwbot

devout forum
#

fair enough

idle nexus
#

he soldered an SMD on & it ran fine

devout forum
#

Heh

idle nexus
#

oh wait wait wait

#

I also delidded

#

G7400 lmao

devout forum
#

rofl

#

But yes

#

I wanna make a PC that I only ever need to do a GPU upgrade in if there is anything worth getting

idle nexus
#

funny but I still managed to hit 100C delidded with liquid metal

devout forum
#

Bloody hell

idle nexus
#

5.6ghz G7400 on ambient cooling

devout forum
#

How much power did you push through it???

idle nexus
#

lol ehh ig only 70w

#

but that's kind of a lot for two cores isn't it? lol

devout forum
#

I mean for a G7400 that is ridiculous

#

double the power

storm narwhal
#

35w per core

idle nexus
#

that's like 35w per core so... kind of equivalent to running 280w on 8 cores? does that translate like that I have no idea

devout forum
#

For power density yes

idle nexus
#

I've actually been meaning to delid my 12100F

devout forum
#

TG delidded 9800X3D back in stock

idle nexus
#

kinda meh compared to G7400

#

but also not delidded

#

also the G7400 did AVX512

icy ore
idle nexus
#

which tends to get spicy

devout forum
#

Actually

#

@idle nexus If I was to buy an already delidded CPU

#

From Thermal Grizzly

#

Should I also get their heatspreader?

#

This one specifically

#

It's really not even a whole lot more expensive than a new from stock one

#

Still has the original heat spreader included

#

I think

dusk knot
idle nexus
#

mycro something

devout forum
#

cuz I'd be running an AIO (not sure if you can really custom loop in a 2000D, and custom loop maintenance would be pain)

idle nexus
devout forum
#

not with X3D ones

idle nexus
#

however the issue is the mounting hardware isn't always designed for it

devout forum
#

TG is very clear that is not the case here

idle nexus
#

well, I take that back

#

it's almost never designed for it

#

the question is whether you can make it work lol

devout forum
#

TBF

#

their heat spreader is also replacing the socket basically

idle nexus
#

I used a Thermaltake W7+ on this but had to put my own screws to make it sit low enough to actually apply enough pressure against the CPU

devout forum
#

again, doing my due diligence

idle nexus
idle nexus
#

I had to dremel to make it work

#

the emoji wasn't on purpose... I cut too much off cuz I was stupidly using tin snips lol

devout forum
#

Then again
The stock IHS is also included

#

Screw it, just keeping the stock IHS means everything still works

idle nexus
#

that's how my delidded 10700KF is set up

#

tbh it kinda feels like using the IHS defeats the purpose of delidding

#

but that's how I've had to run my 13900KS

devout forum
idle nexus
#

I got the EK direct die waterblock & it was terrible

#

$300 later

#

terrible

devout forum
#

Though here it's verified to be properly working and has an expected temp range

idle nexus
#

they even sent me new mounting pieces because supposedly they milled some of them wrong but it was still worse than die>liquid metal>IHS>liquid metal>Heatkiller IV Pro

devout forum
#

lmao

idle nexus
#

I got so annoyed with it that I did this... let me find it lolo

#

before

#

notice how the cold plate is basically higher up in the center

#

I sanded off all the nickel & tried to flatten it

#

results were slightly improved but it's just fundamentally a piece of crap

#

it's designed "not to rely on mounting pressure" which is nonsense tbh

devout forum
#

Yeah honestly as cool as the idea is

#

It's probably not making a whole lot of sense for my use case

idle nexus
#

the backplate it comes with is relativley weak

#

I think the reason my Heatkiller works as well as it does is because of the backplate

idle nexus
#

I feel like it's not entirely clear here

devout forum
#

I'd think so

#

probably expecting a custom loop with a direct die CPU block

#

either theirs or third party

idle nexus
#

for my 10900K, rockitcool gave me a direct die frame with the delidding tool & I was able to use liquid freezer 2 with the new mounting hardware they sent me

idle nexus
#

because how close capacitors, inductors, or whatever all those fancy things that do electrical stuff are to the socket kinda determines whether you can use an AIO

devout forum
idle nexus
#

since the AIO has to sit lower than it would with an IHS on

devout forum
#

Cuz it's both tall AF and loud AF

#

just gonna chuck a heatsink'ds drive in that slot

idle nexus
#

it looks pretty clear around the socket

devout forum
#

the LF3 is TECHNICALLY not compatible out of the box

#

Tube exit hits the mobo SSD cooler

idle nexus
#

heck & with the Ryzen offsets, it probably sits too high off the socket to be tight without an IHS

devout forum
#

but Arctic sends you a replacement if need be

#

or just

#

Use a drive that has it's own heatsink/3rd party low profile heatsink

#

I mean, temps won't be the issue

idle nexus
#

the VRM heatsink doesn't get in the way?

devout forum
#

I've done my homework lol

idle nexus
#

heck well someone has to have done this

#

& gloated about it on OCN or reddit

#

lol

devout forum
#

wut

idle nexus
#

lol smart guy here

#

doesn't Noctua have some direct die thing...?

solemn galleon
#

What is CPU delidding?

idle nexus
#

when you remove the heatspreader

#

for example

opaque sedge
#

Portioning is done

#

This was expensive ngl

#

Cost me like 80 bucks but a couple months ago remember similar looking packs selling for 50-60 bucks

#

It was 6.49 per pound back then

idle nexus
#

you can see on the bottom of the heatspreader that they use a solder to transfer heat from the die (left) to the IHS (right). The solder they use is pretty good at conducting the heat but liquid metal conducts heat better. Ideally, you want to remove the heatspreader entirely & make it that the cooler sits directly on the die (like how cooling is done on graphics cards)

devout forum
#

PAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNN

idle nexus
# solemn galleon What is CPU delidding?

in addition to cooling the die directly, you could also attach a a heatspreader that conducts heat better than the one that comes glued on to the CPU from the factory like this 100% copper one

devout forum
#

it's probably pretty severely overpriced if you take the GPU at face value

#

however

#

the cheapest 4090 goes for ~740.000 HUF

#

I still don't think that the rest is worth it

idle nexus
#

oh wait that isn't your PC is it? lol

devout forum
#

it's an ad

just looking at the prices on FBM

lol that girl got way too famous for that

idle nexus
# devout forum it's an ad

ah right right. If you end up buying that, get adapter cable that converts 12vhpwr so it can directly connect to the PSU cuz that adapter makes me sad lol

devout forum
#

I'm not lol

idle nexus
#

I haaaaated those adapters

devout forum
#

Now this one I might actually consider

#

Scavenge the GPU from it, resell the rest

#

it would pretty much set me up for many years

idle nexus
#

looked like the alien's hair/head from Predator

devout forum
#

ye lol

#

tho

#

Hmmmmm

#

Now that I think about it

idle nexus
wise wigeon
#

Shuffle is up if you’re interested in a MSRP 5070 ti

devout forum
#

I can just get an LGA1700 ITX mobo and rebuild it

#

but nah

#

AM5 is too good

idle nexus
#

LGA1700 is probably really heckin cheap lol

devout forum
#

Eeeeeh

wise wigeon
#

It is

idle nexus
#

I haven't looked tho so I dunno

devout forum
#

Kinda, but not really here

#

we have a really bad market

wise wigeon
#

Right hungary

idle nexus
#

Asrock Riptide I think is best OC board for memory for the price

devout forum
#

Even still, that GPU is still a 4090

idle nexus
#

Z790 Apex has been good to me

devout forum
#

I can just like

#

Use it until I get the other parts and buy a 6750 XT for my sister to use

#

or heck, 3070

#

This one is more expensive but it comes complete

#

For reference, this is the cheapest standalone 4090 for sale

idle nexus
#

I should probably sell my 3060 & 3070 since prices are up

devout forum
#

This even has the legendary Zotac warranty

wise wigeon
#

It’s 2k

idle nexus
#

I kinda wanna take my 12900K build apart... maybe upgrade my son from 2080ti to 3080ti

devout forum
#

that's how it goes here

wise wigeon
#

Unlucky

devout forum
#

I'm fairly sure it'd be cheaper for me to fly over to the US and buy a 4090 then take it home than to buy one here

idle nexus
#

#EUproblems?

devout forum
#

Just us specifically

#

I mean

#

Technically speaking

wise wigeon
#

Lot of east EU currencies are a bit volatile

devout forum
#

Germany is a potential option

idle nexus
devout forum
#

Realistically I'd just get that Zotac 4090 I saw a bit ago

#

cuz Zotac warranty is unironically kinda goated

idle nexus
#

I'm surprised you can find new 4090s for sale tbh

devout forum
#

Oh no it's used

idle nexus
#

oh derp sorry

devout forum
#

There never was new stock lol

idle nexus
#

damn for real?

devout forum
#

5090 in stock:

idle nexus
#

2 million Ft v. 750k seems like a lot

devout forum
#

Cheapest 5090 in stock anywhere:

#

It's already on sale lmao

idle nexus
#

hold on I gotta do currency conversion to fully appreciate how not okay the price is

#

is that before 13% VAT?

devout forum
#

That is with 27% VAT

idle nexus
#

27%? holy heck

#

sales tax here in Florida is 7%

devout forum
#

That's #JustHungarianLife

#

But yes

wise wigeon
#

VAT is pretty high in EU but yeah 27% is more than usual

devout forum
#

about 30% more than the 4090 was available for when it was in stock (so basically never)

idle nexus
wise wigeon
#

@idle nexus aren’t we 6.5%?

idle nexus
devout forum
#

If I pay no bills and eat nothing

idle nexus
wise wigeon
#

It’s fair

#

At least we ain’t cali

devout forum
#

But yes

#

I can buy a 14900K+4090 PC for the price of a 5090

idle nexus

#

I’m like 30minutes away from Orlando so

idle nexus

#

#

Hamilton County (ngl I have no idea where that is) has highest at 8%

wise wigeon
#

Big Sadge yesterday

#

MSRP only 5080 on BB but no stores in 250 mile radius which really just means no stores in Florida

#

Because I’m like 200 miles out from Miami

idle nexus
#

wow Hamilton County is uh

wise wigeon
#

So a 250 mile radius extends so far

idle nexus
#

never heard of it

wise wigeon
#

#

At 1500 dollars you could build a whole 9070xt build

devout forum
#

@idle nexus Okay so for 200k HUF (~550 USD) less than the price of a single 5090, I can get:
-A fully fledged, nearly top of the line AM5 config with a 7800X3D, 2×16 6000 CL30 memory, 360mm AIO, 850w PSU and rather nice fans
-A 4090
-240hz 1440p WOLED monitor
-Retail Win11Pro license

wise wigeon
#

Nearly top line?

devout forum
#

I can also get a custom hotswap keyboard, a REALLY high-end mouse and some NICE audio setup for the remaining amount

wise wigeon
#

4090 is still top line

devout forum
idle nexus
wise wigeon
#

It’s 10% off the 9800x3d

devout forum
#

It's not the best, but close

#

the point is

wise wigeon
#

I woulda bought a 7800x3d if it was cheaper

devout forum
#

5090 pricing is ridiculous

idle nexus
#

tbh I don't think 5090 is going to get much better in the foreseeable future

wise wigeon
#

When I bought the 9800x3d the 7800x3d was 450 so

idle nexus
#

there's nothing competing with it

#

Feels like Nvidia teeters between meh gens and good gens

idle nexus
#

30 series was the last time anyone was really excited

#

& that lasted like 8 minutes

devout forum
#

So yeah, it is depressing

wise wigeon
#

Well $700 msrp 3080 was pretty nice

#

But later releases were soso

devout forum
#

But that like 2100 USD 4090 is almost tempting

wise wigeon
#

The TI releases were so meh

idle nexus
#

cuz then everyone who had to work from home said, "gosh maybe I should replace this 8-year-old desktop if I'm going to be using it all the time"

devout forum
#

For the record

idle nexus
#

lol I got a 3080ti & regret it

devout forum
#

that used 2100 USD 4090 is still almost double the price of a used 4080

wise wigeon
#

I mean crypto boom did not help

#

Well 4090 is like 30% ish ahead

devout forum
#

thing is the 4080 is already borderline for 4k

wise wigeon
#

Not saying its worth double

idle nexus
#

crypto kinda helped in a way tho

#

like I justified my stupid purchases based on ETH mining subsidizing them lol

wise wigeon
#

@idle nexus not when it turned sub 200 cards into 500 dollar cards

idle nexus
#

when I got into computers, 10900K & 5900x were already out

#

so ig I came into it with a false perception of what it cost

#

when I build my first PC (10900K) it didn't even have a GPU cuz I couldn't get one

gleaming rivet
idle nexus
#

then I got newegg shuffle for a TUF 3060 12gb & a B550 Strix board

#

not knowing any better I bought it

devout forum
#

so yeah

idle nexus
#

then I found this little kinda suspicious at first company out of like Ohio that was selling GPUs when they could

devout forum
#

it's a weird situation

idle nexus
#

& got a 3070 FTW3 from them

#

which I also should never have bought

#

then they sent out an email that they were getting 3090s & 3080tis

gleaming rivet
idle nexus
#

I was gonna get 3090 but they weren't sure how long it would be so I got the 3080ti

gleaming rivet
#

Lolll

idle nexus
#

another FTW3 lol

#

so basically I have a very small 30 series museum here

wise wigeon
#

I bought an EVGA 2070S from wegg and used it to step up to the 3080 FTW3 Ultra

#

Because EVGA had that program

idle nexus
#

EVGA was so awesome like... nvm I'm not continuing with part 8 of my EVGA nostalgia lol

devout forum
#

oh damn

#

9070 XT is priced like a 7900 XTX here

#

paaaaaaain

#

new for both ofc

idle nexus
#

damn that's hecked

devout forum
#

Literally

wise wigeon
#

I’d get a 7900xtx at that point

idle nexus
#

even if you could theoretically buy one from somewhere in Asia, import tax would make it not worth it?

wise wigeon
#

RT be damned

devout forum
#

That is such a small difference

wise wigeon
#

Yeah 80 bucks

idle nexus
#

so geographically... ehh UK left EU so could you go there & buy one & save? lol

#

can't really drive to Asia cuz heckin Russia is in the way

#

I wonder how long a road trip across Russia takes

#

Happy pi day

idle nexus
#

Maine to Washington is ~2740 miles v. Russia east to west ~5600 miles. That's a heckin trip right there

#

if you drove across Russia & back, that's like a little less than the distance most people drive in a year isn't it? don't people usually put like 10-12k miles per year on their cars...? I dunno why I went off on this tangent

#

oh driving from Hungary to somewhere where GPU prices aren't crazy ig

#

lol there are 11 time zones in Russia wth

wise wigeon
#

I get about 100 miles in a day when i have class

hoary zodiac

I mean

#

In Russia the difference is that you pretty much have no reason to drive past the Urals

depends on the game, but i dont play sweaty live service slop so it doesnt affect me

“Slop”

#

What happens if I find your games slop

frigid stag
#

slop can be used for some new
triple a games

fresh timber
#

What if I enjoy them, are they slop

#

Slop is an opinion

limber crane
#

indeed

#

just like to some extent what ping makes something playable is an opinion

#

depends on the game, the level of content, the competitiveness, etc

#

if the outcome is irrelevant, ping matters less

#

but if youre in a 500k tournament, you want sub 10ms probably

fresh timber
limber crane
#

ive been dealing with bad speeds for 15 years, you just get used to it and i dont play anything hyper competitive anymore

limber crane
#

but i can definitively tell the difference between 75 and 120 in a game like wow or rocket league

#

but i can mythic raid and parse well and be top 5 dps at 140-160 in wow

#

certain games have more wiggle room

#

other games like FPS in particular are hyper sensitive

#

but i will take where i live over being competitive in games i dont play any day

velvet summit
#

With what I do, I don't even notice the difference between 1ms latency with 300ms or whatever

#

Since I mainly play singleplayer games

velvet summit
limber crane
#

they do some streamer event tournaments online

velvet summit
#

You'll get like sub 2ms

limber crane

but yeah i know

i most do offline stuff now too

ive checked into it, even though we have 5g verizon doesnt offer their internet plan out here, their coverage ends a few miles down the road

velvet summit

Higher than cable and such though

limber crane
#

i use my hotspot from time to time and even though the speed test is very fast (compared to my internet) its super unstable and unplayable for games

velvet summit
#

Sat internet is often in the full second of latency from what I've seen and experienced (basically like a range of 400-2000ms)
Starlink is more like 70-500 or something around that iirc

limber crane
#

if anything i have more issues with packet loss than actual latency, but thats because my internet is essentially point to point wireless

worthy meteor

Starlink used to be able to do ~50ms but iirc they got fined for promising that when they averaged 100+ lol
