if he wasnt on a 1660 i wouldnt be worried
1660 oof
but i'm pretty sure nvidia stopped drivers for that, and im sure its hindering him from games he probably wants to play
The bigger problem is the vram on that thing
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

Bruh does it even run properly
yes
but you need at least an iphone 15
Sponsor: Arctic Liquid Freezer III on Amazon - https://geni.us/NrMtDT
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 ...
nvidia ROPs again
is the MasterLiquid ML360R RGB good?
nyo
masterleakers
but no idea if that specific one is good tho
huh
thermal grizzly is selling delidded 9800x3d
Meh
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
Holy crap it's burning up
(I’m joking lol it's perfectly fine)
(It makes me want to repaste my AIO)
Speaking of GPU market
YAYY
Makes me jealous tbh lol. My idle temps aren't that great (I didn’t paste my CPU that well)
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
sold out in 3 minutes from launch
also is push vs pull on AIOs matter at all?
not even for performance, but like convenience
People didn’t buy gpus during pandemic
I mean for convenience it’s kinda on your case
yeah we aint in no pandemic anymore
i dont think we will ever be in one agian
Nah
That a hilarious thought though
So it SHOULDN'T matter at all?
It’s funny like the last 3-4 centuries in xx20 or around that there has been pandemics
Cuz then push wins solely on aesthetics
It’s mostly convenience and aesthetics yeah
Pull is easier to mount depending on case
Iirc the actual perf difference is marginal
Makes at most 1% difference
And that's in the worst situations
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
MROPG 4x on 60 series
I used to push/pull all my rads & it looks nice ig but I think it's mostly a waste of fans
I'm more asking in terms of cleaning
unless your radiator is realllllllly dense
though the 2000D has the dust filters in the panel
either way, dust gets on radiator
and the LF3 has a really un-dense fin array
(IDK what the opposite of dense is ngl)
actually neither do I now that I think of it lol
ig you say either high density or low density?
more/less dense
heck
i guess he did a good ahh job
idle temps are kinda meaningless
like ooo 30C when I'm not using it
if it's still 99C when you do then
lol
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
one advantage of Liquid Freezer 2-3 is I think it comes with AMD offset mounts
Unironically English ain't my mother tongue so I'm occasionally caught off guard
iirc the 280mm LF2 I got like 20 minutes before LF3 dropped (derp) came with them
Lmao tbf some native speakers don't understand English either
Either way
it do be what it is
imo best way to improve thermals
Anyway
liquid metal <3
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
lol I delidded 7900X3D & dremel cut the direct die frame to make it fit
dedication ngl
in hindsight, I probably wouldn't do it again
I'd never have the guts to do that
fair
hello
I just want it to work, and work for a long time
I delidded 13900KS, 13600K, 12900K, 10900K, 10700KF, 7900X3D, & 11600K
potentially years
rip
ah I sent it to this guy I know from hwbot
fair enough
he soldered an SMD on & it ran fine
Heh
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
funny but I still managed to hit 100C delidded with liquid metal
Bloody hell
5.6ghz G7400 on ambient cooling
How much power did you push through it???
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
For power density yes
I've actually been meaning to delid my 12100F
TG delidded 9800X3D back in stock

which tends to get spicy
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
AMD has just released the Ryzen 9 9950X3D and it's the best CPU for productivity and gaming, taking the spot from Intel Core Ultra 9 285k as one of the best CPUs for productivity. Let's see what intel does with their next generation of CPUs but as of right now, AMD is currently owning intel and this meme video that I've made shows how The Ryzen ...
the CPU waterblock?
mycro something
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)
lol
usually you can use an AIO on a delidded CPU directly to the die
not with X3D ones
however the issue is the mounting hardware isn't always designed for it
TG is very clear that is not the case here
well, I take that back
it's almost never designed for it
the question is whether you can make it work lol
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
That particular frame is incompatible with 9000X3D
again, doing my due diligence
this might make many AIOS work for direct die https://www.thermal-grizzly.com/en/adapter-offset-mounting-kit/s-tg-mk
lol ya I know. That's why mine looks like this emoji 😈
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
Then again
The stock IHS is also included
Screw it, just keeping the stock IHS means everything still works
I guess you could use this to keep the stock IHS in place https://www.thermal-grizzly.com/en/contact-sealing-frame/s-tg-csf
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
I mean that is fair
Though here it's verified to be properly working and has an expected temp range
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
lmao
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
after
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
Yeah honestly as cool as the idea is
It's probably not making a whole lot of sense for my use case
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
does Thermal Grizzly have like an official suggestion? do they expect you to do a custom loop?
I feel like it's not entirely clear here
I'd think so
probably expecting a custom loop with a direct die CPU block
either theirs or third party
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
which motherboard are you planning on using?
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
B650E PG-ITX Wifi
since the AIO has to sit lower than it would with an IHS on
sans the stock SSD cooler
Cuz it's both tall AF and loud AF
just gonna chuck a heatsink'ds drive in that slot
it looks pretty clear around the socket
I already checked
the LF3 is TECHNICALLY not compatible out of the box
Tube exit hits the mobo SSD cooler
heck & with the Ryzen offsets, it probably sits too high off the socket to be tight without an IHS
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
the VRM heatsink doesn't get in the way?
Not for the LF3 that I'll use
I've done my homework lol
wut
lol smart guy here
seems like they expect you to do a loop ig https://wccftech.com/thermal-grizzly-extended-compatibility-amd-ryzen-9000x3d-cpus/
doesn't Noctua have some direct die thing...?
What is CPU delidding?
wow theirs is really specific to the air cooler they offer https://noctua.at/en/noctua-introduces-nm-dd1-direct-die-kit-for-delidded-amd-am5-processors
Designed in Austria, Noctua's premium cooling components are renowned for their superb quietness, exceptional performance and thoroughgoing quality.
when you remove the heatspreader
for example
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
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)
PAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNN
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
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
it wouldn't be easier to use an ATX board? looks like it would fit if you can live with the grommets being partially covered lol
oh wait that isn't your PC is it? lol
lol that girl got way too famous for that
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
I'm not lol
I haaaaated those adapters
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
looked like the alien's hair/head from Predator
not bad except running 6000 memory lol
Shuffle is up if you’re interested in a MSRP 5070 ti
LGA1700 is probably really heckin cheap lol
Eeeeeh
It is
I haven't looked tho so I dunno
Right hungary
Asrock Riptide I think is best OC board for memory for the price
Even still, that GPU is still a 4090
Z790 Apex has been good to me
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
I should probably sell my 3060 & 3070 since prices are up
This even has the legendary Zotac warranty
It’s 2k
I kinda wanna take my 12900K build apart... maybe upgrade my son from 2080ti to 3080ti
that's how it goes here
Unlucky
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
#EUproblems?
Lot of east EU currencies are a bit volatile
Germany is a potential option
Realistically I'd just get that Zotac 4090 I saw a bit ago
cuz Zotac warranty is unironically kinda goated
I'm surprised you can find new 4090s for sale tbh
Oh no it's used
oh derp sorry
There never was new stock lol
damn for real?
5090 in stock:
2 million Ft v. 750k seems like a lot
hold on I gotta do currency conversion to fully appreciate how not okay the price is
is that before 13% VAT?
That is with 27% VAT
VAT is pretty high in EU but yeah 27% is more than usual
about 30% more than the 4090 was available for when it was in stock (so basically never)
$4356.97!? what the heck
@idle nexus aren’t we 6.5%?
$5449.97?!
For reference:
That one GPU is roughly 7 months pay for someone like me
If I pay no bills and eat nothing
I thought it was 7% but I could be wrong. Worth it not to have state income tax tho
apparently Miami-Dade is 7% whereas others like Orlando & Tampa are 6.5%?
I’m like 30minutes away from Orlando so
Probably
Hamilton County (ngl I have no idea where that is) has highest at 8%
Big Sadge yesterday
MSRP only 5080 on BB but no stores in 250 mile radius which really just means no stores in Florida
PNY*
Because I’m like 200 miles out from Miami
wow Hamilton County is uh
So a 250 mile radius extends so far
never heard of it
Who has though
I wonder if the new Micro Center has it. I haven't been yet tbh
Not having to pay for bills and food is a quite a favorable spot and still 7 months yikes
that's way too much. I think you're supposed to spend 6 months salary on an engagement ring lmao
At 1500 dollars you could build a whole 9070xt build
@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
Nearly top line?
I can also get a custom hotswap keyboard, a REALLY high-end mouse and some NICE audio setup for the remaining amount
4090 is still top line
7800X3D
now I don't love the case, but that sounds like a much better option for real
It’s 10% off the 9800x3d
I woulda bought a 7800x3d if it was cheaper
5090 pricing is ridiculous
tbh I don't think 5090 is going to get much better in the foreseeable future
When I bought the 9800x3d the 7800x3d was 450 so
there's nothing competing with it
the price of RPG Maker is ridiculous
Feels like Nvidia teeters between meh gens and good gens
So yeah, it is depressing
But that like 2100 USD 4090 is almost tempting
The TI releases were so meh
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"
For the record
lol I got a 3080ti & regret it
that used 2100 USD 4090 is still almost double the price of a used 4080
thing is the 4080 is already borderline for 4k
Not saying its worth double
crypto kinda helped in a way tho
like I justified my stupid purchases based on ETH mining subsidizing them lol
@idle nexus not when it turned sub 200 cards into 500 dollar cards
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
Rpg maker costs money now?
then I got newegg shuffle for a TUF 3060 12gb & a B550 Strix board
not knowing any better I bought it
so yeah
then I found this little kinda suspicious at first company out of like Ohio that was selling GPUs when they could
it's a weird situation
& 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
Then you bought one
I was gonna get 3090 but they weren't sure how long it would be so I got the 3080ti
Lolll
I bought an EVGA 2070S from wegg and used it to step up to the 3080 FTW3 Ultra
Because EVGA had that program
EVGA was so awesome like... nvm I'm not continuing with part 8 of my EVGA nostalgia lol
damn that's hecked
Literally
I’d get a 7900xtx at that point
even if you could theoretically buy one from somewhere in Asia, import tax would make it not worth it?
RT be damned
Yeah 80 bucks
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
dayum
74% larger
;)
Get help
Happy pi day
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
I get about 100 miles in a day when i have class
I mean
In Russia the difference is that you pretty much have no reason to drive past the Urals
80 bucks 💀
It what
At that point you can just might as well just use godot
Still tho you're getting an entire game engine out of it rather than just RPG maker
Theo probably gonna bribe that giveaway and no one else is gonna win
Is the giveaway only for Canada?
lowks not even gonna post anything on discord anymore - the feedback is horrible .
lol
who's lowks?
Is this supposed to stop a bot or something
= "lowkey"
I dunno
you'd think someone who doesn't know that might benefit from winning a computer so maybe they can use it to learn math
Good
Ggood it’s rebuild day
I’m rebuilding my desktops minus cooler and motherboard cause I ran out of paste
new stuff or just bored? lol
Bored plus cable management
Maybe I’ll install something new
They should ask them to solve an integral
I never fully understood this wouldn't Canadians get a extra point in fir answering that
@rigid sinew what are the chances of me winning? 🥺
How are people upset about this
lol cable management isn't something to do when you're bored. Cable management is more like... something someone convicted of a relativley minor crime should have to do as punishment
Honestly if take that build and transfer everything besides the fans to my main rig
People believe giveaways are rigged most of the time. Just the nature of them nowadays
God I hate gleam giveaways
Doesn't ship to Australia right?
I’ll take the gpu, what cpu is it
do all of the sign up thingy stuff lol
not sure but im not posting anymore
There the people who think it's rigged and the joking ones because I seen someone win 3 times in a row
Where are the full specs
Average giveaway be like:
dunno why the bad reactions. Winning one for free is the only way I'd be willing to get a 5080
Ungrateful people
Idk why they need a skill testing question
We learned bedmas/pemdas in like grade 6
But the age requirement for giveaways is usually 18
type 10 numbers of pie
thanks for rigging the giveaway in order for me to win, naht. youre dah best.
Real
3.14 something something something something something
canada actually requires it
heck. Not having social media, using Apple devices, or being Canadian is kinda hurting me rn
I love having a ID that says I’m 18
Wait deadass?
you think we care if people cant do math 
No I mean like, why did they require it because it is such a simple math question lol
no reason to unless they're paying cash ig
not sure tbh - we just know its a requirement when we do giveaways that include canada
Making sure the winner is some what competent 😦
0+0=
1
This is elementary grade math 💀 even a basic calculator can do the whole equation and figure out bedmas itself

10 numbers of pie
lol wait so it's just an absurd way to deal with silly gambling laws?
dont you think if i rigged it - id be giving it to myself instead
Inb4 "figure out the perimeter this compound shape with these measurements"
Lmfaoooo
too obvious
or a friend ?
good idea
Nah nat gotta add another math question only she knows the answer to
i dont remember agreeing to this
How about I get everything and you can have the gpu
i actually am horrible at math
What’s 5+5x5
and i used to be a payroll and billing manager 
lol great I just disqualified myself cuz if by some crazy chance I win, someone will refer to this
30
30
Did that in my head easy
Let nat answer
You are 50x smarter than TikTok
I’m not kidding, theirs an entire argument that the answer is 605 or 50
We failed

Aren't they both the same
You need the E for exponent
d/dx [3x^2]
whoever created math sucks
NGL, as much as I hate it without it we're cooked
ugh i know but it sucks

what???
Never heard of that one
Or if it's missing rops, out of the box
5060 could actually have 12gb after all?
Wait did they not do a stupid
omg

i hope it's true lol
5060 Missing ROPS DLC
it better be true
They going to fumble the price watch
Worse than 4060
so math is fun if it's probability or if it's statistics, but not both together?
If its 12gb it won't be 128 bit
if they fumble the price i wouldn't be surprised
Lmfao can't wait
gpu market is ehhhh
And/or
they might use 3gb gddr7 chips
lol ah okay
Will we be able to mod it
Ya it's one of the few reasons why people don't do giveaways in Quebec
let me guess, Nvidia says 5060 same performance as 4080 Super & MSRP is $20 since both will definitely be true
At least it has no way of melting
lol blame partners
There is no possible way they can melt a 5060
Would be extremely funny if they did melt them anyways

i saw the original video about 1 week ago
I want to see Mac and Linux market share go up in steam hardware surveys
It's making big strides
Maybe it'll get Microsoft to actually make a good OS
lmao
wait a second
The market share is tiny
Apple announced game porting toolkit
If we had arm gpu drivers :0 imagine MacBook with a 4090
So we'll see more games on mac
this is "Micron Crucial 5080 PC Giveaway." That probably means it has Micron DDR5 which is kind of a dealbreaker ngl
just get it and sell it
Free is free
or enjoy it
I'd probably use it as a server
"donate"
It's not even a scalping thing
you can get insane cash
It’s faster then my two ram 😦
I just don't need a 5080
upon further inspection it appears it has a Corsair case with Corsair fans
Plus I don't trust 12vhpwr
Free
Id case swap
My nv5 is Lonley
imagine macs being able to support almost as many games as windows does
will it slap microsoft back into shape?
Tbh I might sell the entire thing and build a new server if I win it
Not enough drive bays
I mean id just swap to Linux
And Linux
I've only used MacOS like twice & that was enough
Linux already supports most games that don't run anticheats
the anti cheat companies don't care
Well
they should port for linux
There are native builds for linux
but tbh the market share is low rn
Yes
seriously?
For some games
ah
Some games have native anti cheat support
But the devs are too annoying to turn it on
Brooooo, if Fortnite added Linux support I’d swap
i'd SWAP to linux asap
I can't DLSS swap Fortnite cuz of EAC
if anti cheats started working
you too?
forget windows
lmao is windows that bad these days
To be fair linux has it's own can of worms
I can't speak for the average linux user because I use arch
I brought it onto myself
You know what I do? I blocked windows updates on my dns
still too scared to touch 24h2
It’s fine, I haven’t had problems with it
hm ok
I'm gonna download Fallout 4 on Linux PC to see if it runs lol
All my issues are issues windows can have anywhere
Linux does have a major issue tho
I can't find a decent way to see RAM timings
Would you rather a 4c8t cpu or a 8c8t cpu
That's the thing with linux
Overclocking isn’t Excatly big with Linux
A lot of specialist software is windows only
tru
So realistically you can't really switch over if that's the use case
Not something VMs can solve too
Like Linux is great... Until it can't do what you need it to do
That's the reason why it's taken me like 3-4 years to fully switch to linux
Give me Fortnite and I’ll swap
My fav distro
That's for gaming though
I’m aware, it’s based of fedora and the desktop mode is very nice

stupid heckin windows
bitlocking against my will
okay it's gone
finally some good news
Goofiest thing I've seen all day
damn
for sure I can't resize this partition & then extend the existing partition cuz it's like before it
& don't you have to mount at the beginning of a partition
or something
dammit I have to reinstall ubuntu don't I lol
ig I could make yet another partition
Isn't Debian just a more stable version of Ubuntu?
come at me bro, i pay $90/month for these amazing speeds
Wyd
Wyd
wtf
it's this or satellites and i feel like what i have is more reliable than a tin can in the sky
i guess technically the other option is moving but not in this market
Y'all pay for Internet?
Slow
19ms laggy
Wot
need sub 1ms
That’s so laggy
(My gf's Internet btw. She doesn't pay for it. It's free with her rent)
i havent played online games with anything less than 70 in over a decade lmao
depends on the game, but i dont play sweaty live service slop so it doesnt affect me
Your funny
im not even kidding
500 you cant even move
How old ru
lmao
i played warzone for 4 years with 200 ping
😭
You can’t move at more than 200ping
Why?
well for one year it turned to 125 ms ping
Cause I asked now answer son
but that was as good as it got
the highest i played was WoW when I played on EU servers, usually 140-180, fairly playable but definitely noticeable
mf calling me son 💀
140 is playable??
140 is not playable 💀
dude 200 is good though
how
ion know what yall taolkkin bout
exactly
200 is not good lolll
its plyable
a lot of people play wow with 150+
Wow isn’t Excatly ping based
not playable for an fps or anything but some games its serviceable
bruh I don't even bother to play anything that's multiplayer when I'm at my gf's place
im not going to go play CS with 150 thats for sure
I’m not playing Fortnite with more than 60
thankfully im not addicted to live service slop so the only time my speed matters is downloading games/updates
or streaming video for teams meetings at work 😄
“slop”
slop can be used for some new
triple a games
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
Hands down in for tire more than 59 sucks I can feel the difference between 0-50 Ms easily in my builds
ive been dealing with bad speeds for 15 years, you just get used to it and i dont play anything hyper competitive anymore
ive never had sub 50 in my life so i was born in the darkness
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
With what I do, I don't even notice the difference between 1ms latency with 300ms or whatever
Since I mainly play singleplayer games
This is why tournaments are LAN games
they do some streamer event tournaments online
You'll get like sub 2ms
True
Though most are in person
and anything that is online is shared world survival type crap with a friend
ive come to accept my internet will always be bad
people who live near me say i should switch to starlink as its 10x better but i just cant get behind satellite internet
and i like having a local company where if they arent fixing my problems i can walk into their office and make a stink
only the larger ones
api issues or what do they keep doing lol, my telegram keeps going off
starlink and low latency isnt something i thought id hear 
people usually complain about high latency and jitter with it
If you have 5g coverage in your area, you might want to switch to a cellular internet plan instead of dsl or whatever you have that is giving you high latency
Low latency for sat internet*
🤔
It's a fair bit lower than sat
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
Higher than cable and such though
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
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
if anything i have more issues with packet loss than actual latency, but thats because my internet is essentially point to point wireless
Starlink used to be able to do ~50ms but iirc they got fined for promising that when they averaged 100+ lol
Clouds really mess up sat internet
and it snows here 7 months a year so sat will be butts for me
but its just something ive gotten used to over time. im thankful i lost interest in online games or id be hurting all the time
every now and then i try to play a new patch for something and it can be painful but for the most part id rather play other stuff
ARPG's are probably the online persistent online thing i play now and those are pretty rough depending on the day or if someone is watching tv on my network
My closet is doing a great job keeping my pcs heat inside it
It’s warm in my closet cold outside it
i used to know someone who had a closet setup like a server room where the temp was extremely low and he kept all his hardware running in there
completely climate controlled just for his hobby PC's and what not
I just.. don’t want to suffer as it’s getting warmer
And my room only has heat not cooling
rip
It gets to the 90s
i spent 20 years living in phoenix, A/C is mandatory no matter where i am
when i spent 2 weeks in the UK during the peak of summer and saw that virtually nowhere had A/C, i lost my mind
it made sense to me why there was that one summer where several people died from heat exhaustion around the UK
(Canada West coast)
My summers go up to 90f
when i was living in phoenix 115+ was the norm for months at a time
Y'all baking
get into your car and get 3rd degree burns from your seat or seatbelt buckle
I can't imagine living in a hot area tbh
Why? Less heat
I’d rather 4080 over xtx even if it’s the same performance just for less heat in my room
i remember as a kid running out to get the newspaper and the driveway would burn your feet like hot coals
now ive lived in a cold climate for so long that anything above 65 is hot to me lol
I found a new in box 20-year-old CPU cooler and tried to cool a modern CPU with it.

there's tons of similar options, just what we used
How much power they use
When are you coming out of the closet
i didnt really keep track but it depends on how big they are and how long you run it
🥚
Kek
I should figure out how much power I use if I put everything to max load
I’m guessing 1000w

Their was just 4 cops outside my home looking at peoples vin numbers
Hypothetically
Sus cops, they probably looking for the cocaine dealer
A PCIE 5.0 SSD should be usable with DirectStorage right?
Why wouldn’t it
Assuming it ever takes off lol
Consoles use it, why wouldn’t games
Directstorage for games, just half a year away, for 2 years now
Does Gen 3 support it
Everything should work
Problem is basically nothing game wise supports directstorage
Maybe gen 5 will be useful once support becomes popular
That's what we said about gen 4
Nothing came to us
This has been a thing for more than 2 years
Yeah the ball is in the devs' court
They're just not using it
Because guess what it requires
Optimization
Is it just a button they can press
Don't worry tho they'll generate the DirectStorage support then scale up the bandwidth
I’m about to rebuild and cable manage my rig
Gpu came in but I’m too tired
Have you seen the back
You can't see it
So it doesn't exist lol
Oh no I hate this word I have to do work
