and if i swap to 10gig it gives me the feel of its faster

frigid stag
#

Lol I have hdds from like 2012 kekw

#

Ig they don’t make them like they used to

#

Meanwhile got ssds which stopped working after like 3

frigid stag
chrome mirage
frigid stag
#

In use from 2012

lone mango
#

Yeah if you keep one unpowered for a long time there is a chance that some data will be lost from cells losing their charge

frigid stag
#

I just don’t have a data center or any commercial use for them

#

So they last longer

chrome mirage
#

I've had 2 hard drives fail after 2 years. They were Seagate drives though.

lone mango
#

I think old hdds were just built diff

lone mango
#

Bc I went through 3 in less than 2 years

#

Since then im an ssd lover

frigid stag
#

Sea gate?

chrome mirage
#

Hard drives also don't spin when they aren't reading or writing

lone mango
#

Both sg and wd

frigid stag
#

Idk that 3-5 year data is from 2013 so

fresh timber
lone mango
fresh timber
#

I heard it’s not worth

lone mango
#

Like my external hdd earlier today had to spin up to transfer data

chrome mirage
#

Most of my commonly used files are on SSDs so I rarely touch my hard drives.

dusk knot
#

Never bought a single HDD in my life

I honestly feel the same way for CPUs.

dusk knot

#

GPUs and memory tuning seem more worthwhile

fresh timber
#

i only oc my cpu if i have headroom with my uv

frigid stag
tranquil pebble
#

I say this as someone who overclocked the hell out of an i7 920

#

in like 2009

fresh timber
#

you can get some impressive numbers with some liquid nitrogen

tranquil pebble
#

LN2 is impractical. For actual use, CPU overclocking isnt what it used to be.

fresh timber
#

why did i say that lmfao

#

ignore me

frigid stag
#

You can get almost bigger clock speed gains on lga1700 CPU’s than you could on like 1151 v2

tranquil pebble
#

Long gone are the days where 1+ GHz of headroom without OV is there

frigid stag
#

5.8ghz 13600k’s

fresh timber
tranquil pebble
#

Not without voltage tuning lol

fresh timber
#

13600kf can do 6ghz single core if u got a good binn

fresh timber
tranquil pebble
#

If you show me a modern CPU that takes an OC as spectacularly as my old 920 did I would be rather impressed.

#

2.66 to 4.0 on air lol

#

and no voltage increase

fresh timber
#

why excluse voltage

#

nothing wrong with it aslong as ur in safe levels and can cool it

#

ggood exist kekw

frigid stag
#

My friends 7600k. 3.6 to 5.2 🗿

tranquil pebble
fresh timber
frigid stag
#

Better gains than the 920

#

I think hes upgraded by now

#

I think he got an i9 now

fresh timber
#

i was peeping 9950x prices :p

#

of course dreadzone did it

tranquil pebble
#

last time I overclocked a CPU, I LOST performance from it lol

fresh timber
frigid stag
fresh timber
#

Or a bad oc too

frigid stag
#

Ye

#

Sometimes too much or too little voltage can make it act weird

tranquil pebble
frigid stag
#

Ohh

tranquil pebble
#

I have not tried to on x3d and do not plan to.

frigid stag
#

Ye for ryzen oc doesn’t do much

fresh timber
frigid stag
#

On recent ones it’s a bit better

fresh timber
frigid stag
tranquil pebble
#

That 3700X also never hit its advertised boost speeds even with overkill cooling

fresh timber
#

i can oc my 13600kf alot more than my 5500

frigid stag
#

Unless it’s zen 5 X3d

tranquil pebble
#

9800x3d

fresh timber
#

ima do a slight oc

frigid stag
#

Ye that can overclock

#

Locking clocks is probably enough

tranquil pebble
#

I still wont. I see no need for an OC.

#

it is not nearly as clock choked as 5700x3d lol

fresh timber
#

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dl-znPOmi08 i google ddr4, i dont think this is ddr4

tranquil pebble
#

9600x is newer, kind of unfair comparison lol

fresh timber
#

im comparing to what i have in my rig now

tranquil pebble
#

also title says 9700x and thumbnail says 9600x

frigid stag
#

13600k faster if you use good ram

fresh timber
#

laughs in ddr4

#

i know i loose, im trying to figure out how much

frigid stag
#

Good enough

fresh timber
#

only worth for me is x3d probably then, or i could upgrade my platform to d5

tranquil pebble
#

x3d is a monster in some of the games I play, like absolutely annihilates everything else

frigid stag
#

Aren’t you gpu bound

fresh timber
#

iv been getting into cod and minecraft alot

#

mostly cod go brr

tranquil pebble
frigid stag
#

Ig it depends on game

fresh timber
#

chekcing if your cpu bound on intel is weird i guess

#

usage doesnt reflect if your bound cause e cores

frigid stag
#

I usually check gpu usage

#

If it’s 95 + it’s gpu bound

fresh timber
#

at most x3d smooths out the lows

tranquil pebble
frigid stag
#

Yea

tranquil pebble
fresh timber
#

my lows are terrible

#

like i can get 30fps lows in a few games i forgot which

#

i need to reinstall capfame x

#

hold up

tranquil pebble
#

I have 0 fps lows in some games... but... they are also trash tier games XD

frigid stag
fresh timber
#

welp time to figure out if x3d really will benfit me, sidenote cod can use all your cores

frigid stag
#

😬

#

Ye that explains the 1% lows

tranquil pebble
#

interesting fact: 6900 XT has an insane amount of L3 cache... 128 MB

tranquil pebble
fresh timber
#

its funny

tranquil pebble
#

Multithreading is not always done right

fresh timber
#

a 9800x3d has very simiar multicore to me

tranquil pebble
#

9800x3d is a monster for its core count

fresh timber
#

and a 9700x only looses by a amount you will nevr see

tranquil pebble
#

imagine what a Zen 5 Threadripper would do in MT

fresh timber
#

they exist

#

zen5c ones atleast

#

what should i remove/add

#

okay..... i should prob get that extraction kit

#

problem solved

#

crazy how my fps didnt even change

tranquil pebble
fresh timber
#

ok so it is gpu

#

sad

tranquil pebble
#

hotspot throttling, and damn near thermal shutdown

fresh timber
#

i fixed it

#

-20% pl

#

or 10% i forgot

tranquil pebble
#

eh, that will be a bandaid fix at best

fresh timber
#

it fix

#

my fps doesnt even get affected

tranquil pebble
#

You do not even know if it is fully stable lol

fresh timber
#

how can a pl decrease make it.. not stable

#

that would be the UV i applied

tranquil pebble
#

you would be surprised

fresh timber
#

im confident its tsable

#

searching for 7800x3d and comparable gpu benchmarks in cod, so fun

#

Hey y’all what would you recommend is a good $2000 budget gaming laptop that has a good gpu and cpu that can handle a lot(for my sister)

sweet phoenix
#

Something with a 5060

storm umbra
#

Do 5060 exist yet?

sweet phoenix
#

Should be very soon

#

4060 is decent, I wouldnt really spend more than $800-1000 on a laptop personally

sweet phoenix
#

You fall off heavily value wise and the higher the gpu the hotter it gets

#

Sometimes 4070 laptops are decent value

storm umbra
sweet phoenix
#

Foxy and felix know much more abt specific models than I do though

acoustic palm
#

uh if thats the only reason... i wouldnt get a laptop, i mean to each there own but unless you need it to be portable id get a desktop

heavy dew
#

@mortal grail so this is what I discovered with the 360 that NO ONE BOTHERED TO TELL ME

#

So if you want to upgrade a 360 hard drive with a new SATA drive, it cannot be any SATA hard drive like you cannot install any random drive into the console into the bay and expect it to work

#

So apparently on natural terms, the 360 only supports ONE MANUFACTURER and A COUPLE MODELS of WD blue drives, and the drives in question have to run a VERY SPECIFIC OLDER FIRMWARE in order for the Xbox to actually READ the drives

#

So how people are able to upgrade to any random hard drive or SSD they want, in order to do that, you pretty much have to RGH mod your 360 just so you can use another drive or an SSD, so yeah NO ONE told me this before hand

fresh timber
#

@sweet phoenix can x3d help boost fps even when gpu bound

lone mango
#

Well it would boost fps in a way where the gpu would be the limiting factor

#

So it depends on what is being compared

sweet phoenix
fresh timber
fresh timber
#

cant really find much info comparing similar specs to me, to a 9800x3d/7800x3d, so ill ask the human wikapedia

sweet phoenix
#

With a 7700xt, the main differences will be in 1% lows

#

Not sure to what degree

#

I'd imagine less than 10%

fresh timber
#

okay

#

with that info, ddr5 probably wont do much either]

sweet phoenix
#

Oh 13600k on ddr4 to 7800x3d is probably a bit more noticeable

fresh timber
sweet phoenix
#

I forgot ddr4

fresh timber
#

ooo

sweet phoenix
#

Uhhhhhh

fresh timber
#

hope?

tranquil pebble
sweet phoenix
#

13600k loses like 10% performance or so on ddr4

fresh timber
#

ooooo

sweet phoenix
#

Its like 10-15% worse than the 7800x3d with ddr5

#

I doubt it's a full 25% worse tho

fresh timber
#

if you had to estimate in your noggen, how could that affect games like cod

sweet phoenix
#

In games that love x3d, maybe just around 20% or so

fresh timber
#

mhh

#

ima figure out how much it would cost me to do 9800x3d, then how much a gpu would cost

fresh timber
#

the current price hikes and tarrifs dont look promising

watch i do all this and i start playing games that are 100% gpu bound kekw

dense locust

I don’t understand them

fresh timber

idiots, also slide a invite

imagine a game so poorly made that the fps is NIC bound

LMFAO

okay its kinda funny, the 7700xt is too fast for it too

sweet phoenix

It'll be fine

fresh timber
#

🙂

sweet phoenix
#

Just power limit the 4090 by like 40%

acoustic palm

just get a seperate psu for the 4090

smh

gray kelp

ahh okay so it doesnt matter one monitor is like 240 / 480 hz and other is like 60

misty sparrow

not really

you might run into a problem like @fresh timber over here where your main monitor is held back a bit for some reason

but you can probably fix it

fresh timber

wot

#

i was salking this chat

misty sparrow
#

remember that time when your main monitor was handicapped by your father's television

fresh timber

o that was cause HDR and some stupid stuff

misty sparrow

not because of the tv?

fresh timber

like enabling hdr on one would mes up othe other and limit bandwith for osme reason

lucid bay

I think so

First it was my 5080…

dense locust
#

maybe its the psu?

lucid bay
#

NOW ITS MY 4TB 990 PRO

dense locust
#

they just stopped working?

lucid bay
#

My 5080 wouldn’t post

#

No matter what I did

#

Now that I swapped the gpu out for a spare rtx 4070 super I had lying around

#

My ssd stopped working

dense locust
#

how old is the psu?

lucid bay
#

A year..

@dense locust wyd

$280 4TB nvme it is then

well at least they are under warrenty right? Stupidwow

Sadly.. not anymore

dense locust

well at least the gpu is

hopefully the psu isnt defective somehow

what you gonna use the PC for?

Where do you live?

median frigate
#

But the only game I play rust, runs best on 9800x3d

devout forum
#

What's your budget

#

I can see a few potential improvements but I'd need info for that

#

But I'd say it's a competent list

#

Except for the Corsair ram

median frigate
#

I live on sheppard afb in tx

devout forum
#

that crap is awful

#

lemme help you out

median frigate
#

I want to keep the budget as low as possible but revolve it around the 9800x3d

#

Like around 1500$ I can spend on it

#

But if I need to sacrifice budget on gpu and upgrade that later I would do that

devout forum
#

PSU can be cheaper tho

dense locust

How will you update the motherboard?

dense locust
#

Oh

Good

median frigate

#

Oh I see

devout forum
#

1545 before tax

#

75 bucks cheaper or so than your list was

#

Only sacrifice really is that you have a 650 (so upgrade path might be a little less powerful)

#

Lemme see if a 750 would work

median frigate
#

Looks solid to me, I'll save a ton of money buying some parts used as well

#

Hardwareswap always has some crazy deals

devout forum
#

still cheaper than yours and now has a 750

median frigate
#

You think I should go for 64gbs of ram?

#

Probably overkill

devout forum
#

no point

unless you play like

Yeah 32 should be enough for me

Jp doesn’t know anything about computers

Damn that’s crazy

sinful blade
#

He’s never even seen one in person

#

Anyways I gotta question

gleaming sedge
sinful blade
acoustic palm
#

Would it be incredibly stupid to build my pc at my desk but my room has a carpeted floor

gleaming sedge
#

of course on my desk but i was touching the floor

sinful blade
#

Yeah, just lay down a blanket

#

That’s what I do

acoustic palm
#

Well it would be “safer”

frigid stag
#

Just build it in the kitchen

#

Unless that also has carpet kekw

mortal grail
#

Different case choice will allow atx as well

sinful blade
mortal grail
#

Many sff/mff allow atx

frigid stag
#

Why?

gleaming sedge
mortal grail
sinful blade
#

Some floors have bad interactions with glass

#

Such as tile

#

Just build it on carpet

#

I put a clean blanket down so I don’t lose anything small into the carpet

gleaming sedge
acoustic palm
mortal grail
sinful blade
gleaming sedge
#

not sure yet

frigid stag
mortal grail
#

Committing to an 850 without planning is interesting considering the circumstances

#

One sec

acoustic palm
#

Ok so - I have the option to build it in the kitchen which doesn’t have a carpeted floor

gleaming sedge
#

a 850 will cover pretty much everything i want to put in it besides like new gen gpu

frigid stag
#

Ye just do it on the counter

dusk knot
frigid stag
#

Or if you have a garage over there

acoustic palm
#

Alr

mortal grail
acoustic palm
mortal grail
#

You also don't even get fancy cables

#

So it's not ideal

#

Usually cooler master has a nice vsfx gold for less

dusk knot
mortal grail
#

It might just not be on sale rn

#

Worth waiting for, it's better

frigid stag
#

Ye then kitchen it is

acoustic palm
#

Alr

#

And the ltt 1st person video is good right

gleaming sedge
#

so sale would be about 230

mortal grail
gleaming sedge
#

and thats saying you can find it

mortal grail
#

And with white available

#

150 is a lot for even an sfx psu that lacks a full feature set

gleaming sedge
#

newegg has like nothing and amazon only sells used for the most part

mortal grail
#

Yeah that's why I'm saying consider waiting my guy

#

150 is a lot

#

Like a LOT for any psu, sfx or not

gleaming sedge
#

sfx not really they are stupidly expensive

mortal grail
#

If it had braided cables I'd encourage it, looks like the version that doesn't have it

mortal grail
#

110 is the usual good sfx price

mortal grail
gleaming sedge
#

maybe but they are so rare to find someone actually selling them

mortal grail
#

I can see what you see at this moment

#

But in like a week or two?

#

I would consider waiting

gleaming sedge
#

not what i mean, i mean no one is selling them

mortal grail
#

Eh

#

V sfx is a popular pick

#

I didn't bring it up either but the century mini is also 105

#

That one is solid

gleaming sedge
#

microcenter has 8, amazon has about the same and some of them are used

mortal grail
#

Good sfx is around 110

#

We've had as low as 95 even

#

Play smart with that and an a620i lightning, it's the cheapest way to get into high end sfx

gleaming sedge
#

i already have a motherboard

mortal grail
#

Was it expensive?

sinful blade
#

Doesn’t Corsair have a sfx

mortal grail

It's there for like 120 regularly

gleaming sedge

i guess all and all i dont have a good reason to go to microcenter now

#

Ye not for 150, I would wait just a little while

pliant berry

I love waiting over a month for checks feelsBIRTHDAYman

#

just wait for cyber monday

Oof

There’s amazon sales now so

mortal grail

@gleaming sedge try and see if you can get this one

sinful blade
#

It’s OOS

#

But I saw it in stock a few weeks ago

#

So it may be back soon

mortal grail
#

The century mini is also much better for the price that I linked earlier too

#

SP for 150 is just mad expensive

gleaming sedge
#

really dont want to drive 4 hours to just to go to ikea now though....

I'm helping you save tho I hope kekw

i know she would be bored in there

gleaming sedge

Maybe there's a factory furniture outlet closer to home

#

4 hours would've been a big day trip

#

Ikea isn't the be all end all

pliant berry
#

I like to go to ikea just to get ideas really

#

Also having a skadis with a 3d printer is kind of epic

gleaming sedge
#

i know but she wants to go do something today so it means i spend half my paycheck in gas so we can go somewhere for like 2 hours and spend 8 hours just on the road hoping i dont break down again

Movies?

#

Local shopping?

gleaming sedge

we have been every where around us

gleaming sedge

#

My friends complain about driving somewhere 40min away xD

mortal grail
#

I mean if you guys like car rides that's different

gleaming sedge
pliant berry
#

Keeping in mind I am the one offering to drive

mortal grail
#

I mean more importantly is there not an ikea closer to home? Idk I don't wanna step on your toes here

#

4 hours one way is a crazy road trip

pliant berry
#

I hate going to the city here unless I have work in the area on the same day. Easy 100usd just to get in and eat something

gleaming sedge
#

she wanted to go to a museum down in that area but didnt want to spend 46 dollars for a ticket when i have to spend 50 dollars for the gas round trip

mortal grail
#

Oooo ok she wants to go there

#

Felt weird for 4 hours for ikea

#

But museum I get

gleaming sedge
mortal grail
#

Damn

#

Well if she wants to go there it's different

#

But good luck man

#

4 hours is a long ass time in the car lol

pliant berry
#

Time to visit canadia then

gleaming sedge
pliant berry
#

How long would it take if you did go highway?

gleaming sedge
#

like 3

pliant berry
#

Oh

#

Not much difference tbh

gleaming sedge
#

not really

#

maybe ill go to microcenter and spoil my self to a new mic

#

give me some kind of reason to go there

#

she always want to go to different stores but when i pick one she looks at it on google then we dont go in and look around and it can be so annoying at times

pliant berry
#

Oh boy

gleaming sedge
#

shes more of a country girl so tech is a little boring for her so thats why ikea was on the list

#

good mic recommendations?

#

oh the G yeti is on sale

mortal grail
#

Fifine on amazon

gleaming sedge
#

already have one

mortal grail
#

For something in MC? Not sure lol

mortal grail
#

Not much better out there until you hit like modmic territory

#

(I'm not really a guy to talk to for up to date mic suggestions tho)

#

I feel like the logi mic might be a step back

#

They've never really had good ones to date

gleaming sedge
#

the one i have now is like a 40 dollar mic

#

was 100 when i bought it

pliant berry
#

If you consider any yeti, do yeti nano not the og one

gleaming sedge
#

ill just stick to what i have then

mortal grail
gleaming sedge
#

maybe headphones

mortal grail
#

The old yetis are rubbish by today's standards

pliant berry
#

Yeah they are, the nano is ok from what I’ve heard

mortal grail
#

Hm alr

pliant berry
#

Still not greatest value though

gleaming sedge
#

nova 5 has better battery life and is cheaper

mortal grail
#

Nova pro is good, amazon has them on sale for like 130 sometimes

#

Wired or wireless both are decent

gleaming sedge
#

id like wireless ideally

mortal grail
#

Not many good choices for strictly wireless

#

Nova pro is like one of a handful

gleaming sedge
#

i mean both is fine just wireless mainly would be great

mortal grail
#

Nova pro is the best one off the top of my head

#

Astro high end is like good, but the mics are garbage

#

They just don't have good wireless to match wired clarity

#

Long cable sennheiser > wireless imo

#

Like hd560s is just plain better

#

Or game one if you wanted the mic version

gleaming sedge
#

i want wireless so i can use it on my phone and or game with out a shirt on when it gets really hot since i can not stand the cable of my head phones touching my sides and shoulder plus im so tired of the cable at times

mortal grail
#

I mean it's up to you I'm just setting realistic expectations lol

#

Wireless audio just is not that great on the whole, there are exceptions like above

#

I think is it cloud iii wireless? Is likely barely on the edge of decent?

#

There's really very few

#

If you want top quality sound

gleaming sedge
#

i mean im playing gta and minecraft and maybe some other things and talking on discord im sure almost anything would be fine

#

im using some HS55 right now and i like it but cord is annoying and the earmuffs are falling off

mortal grail
#

HS55 is not great

#

A huge array of choices here would be better sounding including everything I mentioned prior

gleaming sedge
#

right and yet i have been doing just fine with these so im sure what ever i pick it will be so much better

mortal grail
#

I've experience with those, they were ok a few years back for like super budget

mortal grail
gleaming sedge
#

i got them for like 25 dollars so i was not to worried about that

mortal grail
#

Wired vs wireless, wireless almost always loses

#

Wireless competes in many instances just to sound like half decent wired

#

With latency challenges a constant evolving part of it

#

Unfortunately wireless headsets aren't like wireless mice

#

Latency still exists

#

Wireless mice have effectively no latency

#

Way higher

#

Like wayyyyy higher

pliant berry
#

Maxwell is pretty nice wireless, mic isn’t the best though

gleaming sedge
#

oh good to know microcenter does price match

mortal grail
#
#

It's really effectively nil

#

On audio I'm talking like 10ms range

#

Not ±2ms

Meanwhile good vs bad wireless headphones^

#

50ms vs 10ms

#

Ik but you see what I mean right

#

Look how big the headphones are

#

Vs the mouse

#

40ms more vs 2ms more lmao

#

And good headphones with a dedicated station is 10

#

Do you mean the one where they do sweeps

#

One sec

#

V2 optical is really close to v3

#

Oh

#

Idk the mouse tester graph then

#

Op1 is good ye

#

Oh that

#

Those aren't good to communicate for reccs so I leave them alone

#

Rarely ever refer to them

#

People just see a graph that looks like an earthquake reading lmao

#

Ofc but point still is wireless mice still don't take the L like headphones do

#

They're so close it's effectively nil

#

Think of it as I say like

#

Oled vs ips

#

Ofc there's a difference

#

But it's not something that you NEED to leverage

#

An advantage nonetheless

#

But it's still effectively nil in the broad scheme of things

#

I totally get the chasing latency part but yeah

#

Ik

#

You're talking only a couple ms

#

People's internet connections will give them 20x that delay

#

Yeah

#

I get what you're saying for sure I just don't put a huge stock into it like other stuff

#

Like yeah def wireless headphones I always call out

#

40ms is disgusting

#

BT wireless buds are like 60-100, it's barely any better and you wouldn't wanna play comp like that

#

It's just something very few companies have really brought up to scratch with

microcenter wont price match if the item is on sale at all will they?

mortal grail
#

If it's brick and mortar it should if it advertises price matching

pliant berry
#

Many places that do price matching don’t do sales, but I think there is some other criteria to that

gleaming sedge
#

if they wont price match the amazon listing they might price match the company's listing
