you really need to stop creating new discourses

[hoary zodiac]

I'm not going to escalate this so if you continue I'll get a mod to weigh in

#general-chat isn't the place

[rancid juniper]

Is your discord bugged lol

[nocturne flicker]

We've bugged your discord

We are in the walls

Wuh

[hoary zodiac]

[nocturne flicker]

Give up

[rancid juniper]

TLOU 2 surprisingly had a good launch

the pc port presents great performance across many configs

[fresh timber]

i need more games

[hoary zodiac]

what happened to no more politics

[fresh timber]

my pfp is trump cause i bought nitro lmfao

[rancid juniper]

nitrous oxide?

[fresh timber]

no discord nitro, so it re enabled all my server side pfps

[rancid juniper]

nah discord gave you nos bottle for car

nitro is just an added bonus

[fresh timber]

oh

[rancid juniper]

[fresh timber]

too much

make it $2

[young pulsar]

let's face it

[rancid juniper]

ffs i really don't like subscriptions

its annoying

[fresh timber]

i jut wanna watch on my ps5 with out ads

[young pulsar]

everyone is only saying amd is better than intel because you can upgrade the cpus

does not matter to performance

[rancid juniper]

performance does matter

[young pulsar]

pc building 101 is filled with clueless people

[rancid juniper]

AMD is dominating because of longetivity/performance

[young pulsar]

"7500F beats 14600k in gaming"

[fresh timber]

technicly nvidia is

[young pulsar]

🥀

[rancid juniper]

we're talking cpus

not gpu

[fresh timber]

oh nvm

[young pulsar]

yeah

[rancid juniper]

bruh

[devout forum]

Automod I think

[devout forum]

ROFL

[young pulsar]

i see 2 blocked message

do i read them

[fresh timber]

bro blocked mods

[young pulsar]

i didnt block mods

[rancid juniper]

im pretty sure a 14600k is faster than the 7500f

[dense locust]

is it me

[wispy knot]

I think your gif spam pissed off automod lol

[rancid juniper]

but the 7500f uses less power

[young pulsar]

1 blocked message

"is it me"

[dense locust]

it is me

[fresh timber]

am i faster 😦

[young pulsar]

no.

[devout forum]

I think that's me lol

[rancid juniper]

maybe?

[devout forum]

[young pulsar]

i mean you can watch the video

[devout forum]

Can't watch rn preparing to go to work I don't have tome

[rancid juniper]

surprisingly yea

[devout forum]

AM5 is officially OP now

[tranquil pebble]

how many times can one get automodded before a mute? lol

[hoary zodiac]

they got timed out

[devout forum]

It's kinda funny

With AM4 everyone was happy that it happened

But with AM5 everyone is kind of expecting AMD to just keep dominating

[dense locust]

i hope intel makes a comeback

[rancid juniper]

https://youtu.be/Q_Rw37mjUoI?si=XZ0cQ2O7VBqp2kvL

[hoary zodiac]

Ryzen 9000 non X3D be like

[hoary zodiac]

I have hopes for intel

[rancid juniper]

the blue team feeling blue all year long

[hoary zodiac]

core ultra looks pretty solid from an engineering perspective

[tranquil pebble]

9800x3d goes hard

[hoary zodiac]

as a product not so much

[devout forum]

I mean 9000 wasn't bad
It just wasn't as much better as we expected

[hoary zodiac]

there is potential here

they just have to capitalise on it

[dense locust]

i think the fact intel knew they had to take this year off is a good thing

[devout forum]

Ryzen 7000 was also just
Really fecking.good

[rancid juniper]

mad that they canned the rest of battlemage

that was crappy

imo

[hoary zodiac]

Ryzen 9000 is like what skylake was to haswell

[tranquil pebble]

Slapped Intel a bit harder than Intel expected lol

[devout forum]

Again, with 7000 the floor got raised massively

[dense locust]

those are their gpus right?

[rancid juniper]

yea

[fresh timber]

youtube thinks im a ps5

[dense locust]

they are made using tsmc anyways so it wouldnt help with the stock situation

[rancid juniper]

they released B570/B580 with low inventory and called it a day

W

T

F

[devout forum]

Ryzen 7000 was so good it was never gonna have an equally good followup

[hoary zodiac]

sounds uhh

familiar

[rancid juniper]

💀

[hoary zodiac]

at least they didn't catch on fire

lol!!!!

[devout forum]

Like we call it Zen 5%

[dense locust]

they didnt have enough wattage to catch fire lol

[devout forum]

But again, the expectations were high after Ryzen 7000

[gentle canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/nether-steve-jack-black-a-minecraft-movie-minecraft-movie-gif-4194763656518713028

[devout forum]

The X3D developments were really cool tho

[hoary zodiac]

as they should be

[devout forum]

OCable X3D is based

[gentle canyon]

Just got back from the peak movie

[hoary zodiac]

Ryzen 9000 would have been better if the price was good

[devout forum]

Oh yeah it was expensive tru

[hoary zodiac]

Ryzen 9000 was not worth the asking price

[gentle canyon]

Any modern pc product ever

[hoary zodiac]

except for X3D

[devout forum]

The issue is that it's not cheap to make

[dense locust]

i felt bad buying x3d for $479

[tranquil pebble]

AMD Reisen CPU. Fumo not included

[fresh timber]

do yall like my new tv

[devout forum]

AM5 in general is still quite expensive to move to

[dense locust]

it aint getting any cheaper any time soon

[devout forum]

Cuz it's that good

What baffled me tho

Was Core Ultra costing even more while being worse

[hoary zodiac]

I have a soft spot for core ultra

[fresh timber]

theirs a few task its goofd

[hoary zodiac]

As I have stated before, the design is solid

it just happened to be a bad product

[rancid juniper]

sus

[dense locust]

dont buy inferior products

[hoary zodiac]

the efficiency improvements were pretty nice

[dense locust]

there are no bad products just bad prices

[rancid juniper]

W or L?

[hoary zodiac]

their mobile platforms are pretty decent

[hoary zodiac]

that makes it a bad product imo

[devout forum]

I mean even AMD was surprised how it wasn't even close allegedly

[dense locust]

depends on graphics settings

[rancid juniper]

fair enough

[hoary zodiac]

that's what I said about the 9700X before it dropped in price

[devout forum]

Didn't AMD basically say "Oh we didn't make more 9800X3Ds cuz we thought Intel was gonna actually compete"?

[hoary zodiac]

actually you know what no

change of my mind

I agree with your take for THIS instance

[dense locust]

9800x3d have been pretty much in stock for a while now

[devout forum]

AMD does have a habit of setting initial prices too high and then drop them later

[hoary zodiac]

I do think core ultra is a good product

priced very badly

relative to 14th gen tho...

🤷‍♂️

[devout forum]

This was at the height of the 98000X3D shortage lol

[hoary zodiac]

that detracts from the good product argument

but still

[devout forum]

14th gen also just

[hoary zodiac]

I'd say it was a mid product for a bad price

[devout forum]

Spontaneously imploded with the wrong bios

[hoary zodiac]

mid overall*

[dense locust]

i wonder whats the cost of making an amd cpu vs an intel one

[rancid juniper]

14700k was like the only proper change of that refresh

added more cores + higher clocks

[devout forum]

With chiplets AMD is probably cheaper to make

[hoary zodiac]

there are advantages and disadvantages

[dense locust]

considering intel has chip fabs in the usa it will prob be easier for intel to compete now that tariffs exist

[devout forum]

Cuz you don't need to get one massive die perfect
Just a smaller one

[devout forum]

Bro we all know that only the US matters for hardware markets lol

Americans would lose their mind if they had to pay the same prices as EU does

[devout forum]

Cuz America is literally a protected market in this sense

[dense locust]

doesnt the eu tax things for taking up too much wattage?

[devout forum]

No

It's not any taxes

It's just that the US is the home turf

It has the most buying power overall

[hoary zodiac]

to be fair

[rancid juniper]

all that and still no ryzen 3 x3d tho

so no point

[devout forum]

So you WANT to do well there

[hoary zodiac]

that would depend on their supply chain

in such a globalised economy you never truly know unless you have the full context

[nocturne flicker]

The real question is how much water does a cpu use to make and how does that justify building a silicon plant in a desert in a part of the country that is and going to continue having water supply issues

[devout forum]

AMD set 600 dollars for the 9070 XT MSRP in the US right?

Originally anyway

[pseudo raven]

something like that

[rancid juniper]

fake prices

heh

[pseudo raven]

but people say its with a rebate

[devout forum]

Guess what the EU MSRP was

[pseudo raven]

fake msrp

blah blah

[devout forum]

This is just for reference

[pseudo raven]

ive lost so much money

[dense locust]

900

[rancid juniper]

ok

[devout forum]

The actual price doesn't matter

It's the intention of AMD itself

[devout forum]

USD I assume?

[pseudo raven]

i dont think amd hates eu

probably just more expensive to sell there

[dense locust]

bitcoin

[rancid juniper]

☠️

[devout forum]

Actually a little less

876 euros

Tho that comes out to like 950 USD

And that's the same "fake price" for US and EU

[rancid juniper]

man no wonder why people are often triggered over there

[devout forum]

That's what AMD "recommends"

[pseudo raven]

fr

[rancid juniper]

they have to deal with these crap prices all the time

[pseudo raven]

first the not brushing teeth thing

now 9070 xt prices

[rancid juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/birmingham-british-english-angry-gif-27590953

[devout forum]

EU markets are more tolerant to higher prices for some reason

[rancid juniper]

that needs to change someday

[devout forum]

While US consumers aren't

In spite of having MORE purchasing power

Like

It's actually insane

[pseudo raven]

i mean actually the us consumer has been pretty tolerant

[dense locust]

you say that but 5090s are still sold out

[tranquil pebble]

world makes no sense sometimes

[pseudo raven]

until very recently if you look at the news

[devout forum]

It's just getting screwed
Europe is used to that whether done by a government or a company

[rancid juniper]

bruh

EU prices for the nintendo switch 2 for example

big yikes

[devout forum]

Isn't it like 900 USD converted?

[rancid juniper]

lol $80 mario kart is like idk... 100 euros ?

maybe around 90

[rancid juniper]

dummy high

[devout forum]

TBF that's just Nintencringe

[rancid juniper]

lmao

[devout forum]

Greedy gigacorps gonna greedy gigacorp

[rancid juniper]

wild that $70 just aint enough for them

[devout forum]

And remember

The cartridge you get in the physical game contains no part of the actual game

[rancid juniper]

it would be super funny if GTA 6 launched at $70 base price just to crap on Greedtendo but i doubt that would happen

[dense locust]

make an economy based on profits
consumer gets screwed

[pseudo raven]

that isnt for all games is it

its just for some

big balls expert here: i can

[rancid juniper]

lol

[hoary zodiac]

man I need to catch up on work but my brain is too foggy

too exhausted from yesterday 😔

engineering student life

[wispy knot]

And you have to pay extra for the physical cartridge game key over a purely digital copy

[hoary zodiac]

we don't even own the physical copies anymore wtf

[wispy knot]

Mostly larger games

[pseudo raven]

kinda surprised the physical thing wasnt already the case

if theyre the same price at a retailer doesnt the retailer take a cut

but nintendo sells physical copies too so

mostly malice

[wispy knot]

Partly because Nintendo charges outrageous prices for their larger cartridges, probably so that devs of larger games have to pay more to publish it

The little 8GB ones aren't bad

[median frigate]

You guys think it was dumb to do a 9800x3d build in a matx case?

Idk how well the airflow will be

[hoary zodiac]

no

that would depend on the case design

[median frigate]

Okinos Aqua 3

I can put two fans on the bottom and 1 on top left

[hoary zodiac]

if it's a bad case then being an atx case won't save it

I only see top intake

is there bottom intake?

[hoary zodiac]

I'm more worried for the GPU

[wispy knot]

It's not a hot CPU at all, not like previous X3D models. The cache is under the cores now, so the cores get proper cooling.

[hoary zodiac]

than anything

[median frigate]

Is it bad to have the gpu that close to the fans?

[hoary zodiac]

oh there's bottom intake?

ok nvm then

she'll be alright

[wispy knot]

As long as that's intake, that's perfect

[hoary zodiac]

as long as there's airflow it's fine

[median frigate]

That's the one thing Idk how to do is place fans correctly 💀

[hoary zodiac]

the case isn't bad in terms of airflow

[wispy knot]

Exhaust will fight the GPU for air

[hoary zodiac]

remember this is still better than an NZXT case

[median frigate]

Is that bad?

[hoary zodiac]

assuming that you configure the fans correctly

[hoary zodiac]

yes

the bottom fans should be intake, not exhaust

because if it's exhaust then it'll, as fal said

fight the gpu for air

[median frigate]

What do the gpu fans do? Do they also intake

[hoary zodiac]

yes

you want air flowing in the direction of the gpu fans

[median frigate]

Ah I see

[rancid juniper]

OH NO

[hoary zodiac]

wtf

[rancid juniper]

not again

[median frigate]

This how it should be?

[hoary zodiac]

no no no

actually...

no

[median frigate]

Intakes cold air from bottom right?

[hoary zodiac]

the top 3 fans are not ideal

the bottom is good

flip the direction of the top 3

[median frigate]

You want it to pull air from top too?

[hoary zodiac]

I'm more worried about the radiator being choked of cool air

[median frigate]

Actually my pc doesn't even have aio

[hoary zodiac]

do you have an air cooler?

[median frigate]

Phantom spirit

[hoary zodiac]

then that's all the more reason do it that way

given that you case have no front intake

[sinful blade]

[median frigate]

Ah that's true

[hoary zodiac]

the rear fan should be exhaust while the top two should be intake

[median frigate]

Yeah that makes sense

[hoary zodiac]

because if you have the top two as intake it'll be more efficient too

since the cool air will be blowing on the ram,vrms etc

but if you had the rear as the intake it won't be as efficient

and the air cooler would have to be mounted in a weird way

then the air flow would just be a mess tbh

[wispy knot]

Rear intake also catches some of the GPU exhaust

[median frigate]

Which way does the cpu fan intake tho

[hoary zodiac]

yeah you always want rear as exhaust

[median frigate]

From the right to left?

[hoary zodiac]

depends on how you mount it

it's an air cooler

so you can reverse the direction

not that you would want to

[median frigate]

I would have to do right to left I believe right?

[hoary zodiac]

it's not optimal

you can but you shouldn't

it's not ideal

[median frigate]

Wouldn't it be fighting the exhaust then

[hoary zodiac]

wait what do you mean by right to left?

like airflow direction?

[median frigate]

On the Pic I sent it would be in taking from the right of the cpu if it was an air cooler

[hoary zodiac]

oh I got my directions mixed up

[rancid juniper]

hotbox gaming

[median frigate]

Then exhaust would be following the exhaust fan

[hoary zodiac]

ok so

the direction of the cpu fan should be in the direction of the exhaust

[wispy knot]

The true Alienware Experience™️

[hoary zodiac]

so it's one straight arrow

and the top fans would blow air down into it

[median frigate]

Pc aerodynamics

[hoary zodiac]

it also has the additional benefit of cooling other components too

because if you had it the other way

you would be blowing hot air onto the ram

[median frigate]

Yeah that's true

[hoary zodiac]

and the front of the case

man I need a nap

I just confused left to right

[median frigate]

Can't wait to build this thing

Just need my gpu man

[hoary zodiac]

9070? XT? 5070?

[median frigate]

Exactly

[hoary zodiac]

uh

all three?

[hoary zodiac]

I don't know what's weirder

watching anime or not watching anime

[rough zinc]

[hoary zodiac]

see I'm one of the weird ones that is not interested in anime at all

I've watched pokemon but that's it

[rough zinc]

Hard depends on what anime

[wispy knot]

Everyone has, at some point, watched and enjoyed an anime whether they realize it or not

[dense locust]

only about half

[rough zinc]

The other half is "anime"

[hoary zodiac]

I think anime fans get a bad rep

[royal crow]

Same, but I've only seen avatar

[hoary zodiac]

because of the "anime" community

[wispy knot]

You know how many of my friends from high school would say "I don't watch anime, only Naruto"

[dense locust]

"this is too cool to be anime"

[wispy knot]

Ah yes the "anime style" cartoon made in America

[hoary zodiac]

the case for me is more that anime's never really piqued my interest aside from pokemon

that being said

I do have an obsession with 90s science fiction

[sinful blade]

Watching anime for the entertainment is fine
But if you’re one of the people that theorizes about a specific characters shoe size based on the way their shirt flows in 2 different episodes, you’re not welcome

Am i unmuted

Okay

[rough zinc]

I was the same way until my roommate forced me to power through part 1

[rough zinc]

No

Part 2 is still kinda tough but a lot better than part 1 but part 3 is actual hype

[wispy knot]

I did, I watched the first 2 seasons. But I got through 160 of one piece.

[rough zinc]

Ahh fair enough

[hoary zodiac]

did you get through in one piece?

[wispy knot]

I got near the end of skypiea

I guess that would be more like 190 episodes then

things i am looking forward to media/movie wise:

andor season 2
fnaf 2
invincible season 4
btsv
maybe thunderbolts/doom mcu movies, not a huge mcu person

[worn wave]

https://tenor.com/view/man-watching-looking-fear-scared-gif-20121830

[gentle canyon]

loki was phenominal tho

[worn wave]

Star wars fans watching eps 7,8,9 release and each be even worse

[gentle canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/loki-victor-timely-illinois-mobius-ouroboros-gif-3365988802391266035

mobius my goat

[hoary zodiac]

Disney is like the borg

[dense locust]

a lot of people didnt like loki but i liked the sound design and music

[gentle canyon]

music was amazing

visuals were also really good

[dense locust]

ye

that too

[gentle canyon]

cast was solid

took itself pretty seriously which i liked too

[dense locust]

prob the only marvel tv show that actually looked like how much it cost

[gentle canyon]

modern marvel doesnt take itself seriously tbh

[hoary zodiac]

yeah

[gentle canyon]

last mcu movie i watched in theaters was doctor strange 2 and that was not good LMAO

[dense locust]

this ruined love and thunder

[gentle canyon]

loved the first one

i wasnt even a marvel fan until like 2020

so i missed all the endgame stuff

[wispy knot]

Consume everything, leaving only the useful parts intact as part of the collective? Yeah that checks out

[hoary zodiac]

if they want us to take their characters seriously they should write them better

[gentle canyon]

i watched everything during covid

[dense locust]

love and thunder made people think the dark world wasnt that bad

lmao

[hoary zodiac]

Tony Stark is beloved because he was treated seriously

he can be goofy at times

but they treat serious moments with respect

rather than just make fun of him

[dense locust]

marvel has forgotten what serious moments are

[hoary zodiac]

I feel like modern marvel doesn't have confidence in their characters

so they make them into le goofy moments

[wispy knot]

You could say the characters lack character

All that's left is a caricature of their past

[hoary zodiac]

and considering that endgame practically got rid of the most of the solid cast

the writing was on the wall

[dense locust]

woman are just strong independent woman with no flaws and men are just humor machines

[hoary zodiac]

the thing is

that's not the issue

[south sapphire]

hey so I have two tv's hooked up (B9 65 inch and C4 42 inch) which are both 4K....and one LG monitor which is 1440. How come when I select 4K resolution under nvidia control panel or windows settings the actual real estate of the 4k tv's becomes smaller.....what am I doing wrong?

[hoary zodiac]

they're writing it that way

BECAUSE it is an easy shield

[dense locust]

writing took a nose dive

[hoary zodiac]

it's intentional to shield themselves from accusations of bad writing

any accusations of the characters being poorly written will have twitter light you on fire

it's cowardice if you ask me

[dense locust]

but nobody complained about spiderverse

[hoary zodiac]

exactly

we love competently written strong female leads

[wispy knot]

Change your desktop scale

[hoary zodiac]

we also love to see males being vulnerable as opposed to the macho masculine stereotype

but the problem with modern character writing is that

there is no writing

[dense locust]

does discord remove the reply if you change channels or leave the app for you too?

[wispy knot]

How much did they say they were using AI to write scripts again?

[hoary zodiac]

and then they just let twitter battle it out so they don't have to take accountability for releasing a crap script

[wispy knot]

YES it's so annoying

[dense locust]

it never used to do that

why discord

[wispy knot]

Typical, new features break things

[hoary zodiac]

average discord

discord not trying to change discord mobile challenge

[south sapphire]

nvidia control panel or windows/system/display

[hoary zodiac]

impossible

[dense locust]

i cant wait till they add forced ads soon

[wispy knot]

Windows display settings

[hoary zodiac]

I got a stupid ad for a game

on discord

[south sapphire]

do i want it at 100% or higher

[hoary zodiac]

we need an alternative really

[south sapphire]

higher so it takes up more tv space?? @wispy knot

[hoary zodiac]

discord keeps making these stupid ui/ux changes that nobody asks for

that changes nothing

[pseudo raven]

i kinda like the new dark mode

[hoary zodiac]

they do come up with one good feature sometimes

but after 50 stupid changes

[south sapphire]

right now they are all at 100%

[dense locust]

Replace discord with “every company”

[wispy knot]

Wait what exactly do you mean? Are there black bars around your picture?

[hoary zodiac]

I'd say discord is particularly guilty of this

instagram at least keeps the basic ui intact

[south sapphire]

i will show you one second

[dense locust]

Apple has done some egregious things too

[hoary zodiac]

discord mobile keeps moving buttons and ui elements around

every few months

it's sooo annoying

just when you've gotten used to it

they change it again

[dense locust]

What if we put the gift icon right where the image post was?
Hehe

[south sapphire]

@wispy knot

It’s not using the entire screen

Like it’s only using about half the screen …when I set it to 1440 it uses all screen but text is bigger and clunkier

[wispy knot]

I'm going to guess the cable isn't good enough to push full 4k

[south sapphire]

Nonsense

There all 8K cables

[wispy knot]

That means nothing tbh

[hoary zodiac]

are they all 8K cables or advertised as 8K cables

[dense locust]

Does your tv have settings?

[south sapphire]

Yea

Where would I go in the settings

But the scaling is at 100% in windows

What if I changed it to higher than 100% would that utilize more of the screen

[wispy knot]

Yeah that's not a scaling issue

[south sapphire]

So it’s tv issue

[wispy knot]

I thought you meant the icon sizes looked weird

[south sapphire]

Settings issue

[dense locust]

Could be

[south sapphire]

Hold up let me try something

Nope not working might be TV issue?

So windows scaling just makes everything larger

[wispy knot]

You can try setting it to 4k 30Hz 4:2:2 in Nvidia settings to narrow down if it's the cable or TV

[south sapphire]

Ok let me try it

One second

should I keep it at 4K here

[wispy knot]

Yeah Nvidia will just override that

[hoary zodiac]

This monitor talk is making me want to buy a ultrawide

[south sapphire]

Where do I go to change that setting

Sorry for poor picture but can’t take screenshot on monitor because it’s messing up

Or I would take a screenshot snippet for better quality

Thanks for helping me man

I really appreciate it

[wispy knot]

Refresh rate lowest it will go, output color format 4:2:2 (4:4:2 if not available)

[south sapphire]

So I’ll put it to 100

[wispy knot]

100 it is then

[south sapphire]

Oh wait I changed something on TV earlier let me show you

Something about 4:4:4 pass through

Or something like that

It’s in tv settings

I’ll take a picture

It was a setting to turn on to help with crappy visual text on TV

When being using as a monitor

[wispy knot]

Yes you'll want that on

[south sapphire]

Ok

And where do I change that over setting in global settings in nvidia control panel

[wispy knot]

Output color format

[south sapphire]

420?

[dense locust]

[south sapphire]

You are the man

10 bit color the best or 12 bit for TV’s

My other OLDER TV (from 2019) only has these two options:

Man what you said worked

[wispy knot]

That does indicate to me that the cable was not capable of the settings that were originally set

[south sapphire]

So what kind of cable do I need?

[wispy knot]

The settings I sent use much less bandwidth than 4k120 with HDR on

[south sapphire]

RGB is the better setting ??

[wispy knot]

Sort of

What you set is color compression

Some people can notice the compression, others can't

You can try setting it back to 120Hz now btw

[wispy knot]

Lacking the other options means that one doesn't support display stream compression

Aka it's not HDMI 2.1

[south sapphire]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08M9HND4F?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1

thats the cable being used

I notice it doesn’t say HDMI 2.1 anywhere

Maybe that’s why?

Dang that’s not even a 2.1 cable lol

But they have everything else in the description but that

Thanks for your help. So I need a HDMI 2.1 cable

[wispy knot]

Several reviewers are saying they couldn't get 4k120 working with that cable

[south sapphire]

What about this cable?

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075N83B9X?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2

thanks so much for helping

I really should look closer next time

[wispy knot]

Belkin is a solid brand

[south sapphire]

Thanks a lot for helping man. Really appreciate it. Just started my vacation from work for a couple weeks

[wispy knot]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BS29VG4/

I'm seeing evidence of people using this at full 4k 120 with all the extras

[lone mango]

I think maybe enderman put it there

[south sapphire]

Thanks again @wispy knot

[dense locust]

Don’t y’all have cable testers

[velvet summit]

depends on what type

i technically have a cable tester

(it's called a multimeter)

i don't have the cable testers that can make sure that cables are compliant with certain standards though

[wispy knot]

Have you seen the testers required to test bandwidth? They're crazy

Takes up like a whole server rack

I think GN bought one and they barely show it lol

No it was LTT

https://youtu.be/u6lx1ntNoxE?si=HWawikcpAkM8rpPl

[velvet summit]

TBF there are smaller units, more specifically to verify like cat6a or such (like those fluke units)
Though I guess HDMI and DP would have more bandwidth lol

Though those also cost like what

30 grand new?

Pocket sized gold practically

Though I think a pocket sized lump of gold would be worth more

[wispy knot]

Yeah you're not testing up to 100Gbps with a small unit

[smoky vine]

Hi everyone

[atomic mist]

Sh

[pseudo patrol]

how do i fix this error 😭

[dense locust]

Try again later

[pseudo patrol]

it wont download the update that came out 3 weeks ago 😭

[storm narwhal]

Why would you want that

572 is still broken af

[dusk knot]

Gm all

[iron topaz]

gm all

[median frigate]

I got an offer msi 4080 16gb for 550$

Is that more worth than a 5070 for 550$

[mortal grail]

Yes

4080 >>>

Hope you check that it's a real one

Scams are rampant rn

[median frigate]

I was hit up from hws

Dmed

Hopefully they ain't no scammer lol

Haven't encountered one in a long time, last I did tho they were trying everything to get me to do friends and family 💀

[mortal grail]

Yeah def use g&s

Absolutely never f&f

[median frigate]

@mortal grail u know how big that card is tho?

I can't find the dimensions for it

[mortal grail]

Ventus?

Off the top of my head

It's like

2.5 slot

[median frigate]

Idk which it is

[mortal grail]

320? mm

[median frigate]

Oh that should be fine

[mortal grail]

Is it a super or normal 4080

[median frigate]

Not sure 💀

[mortal grail]

Super had ventus E

[median frigate]

Dude just said MSI 4080 16GB

[mortal grail]

Which fixes a vrm that wasn't covered

The vrm gets quite hot on the old 4080 ventus so check that

The non E you'll wanna address that issue

So as not to risk a dying card from a 110C+ vrm

[mortal grail]

Make sure you check these things out and get a test of the card working too

Cover all your bases

HWS is pretty safe but only because of these checks

[median frigate]

Bro I'm worried this card will be to thick

[hazy parrot]

For real even thou its a deal these scammers are alot

[median frigate]

And hit the bottom fans 💀

Yeah I'd test it for sure tho

[mortal grail]

What case is it

[median frigate]

Never had any issues thankfully but you never know

[median frigate]

Okinos Aqua 3

[mortal grail]

It'll fit

And I'll tell you it fits for 2 reasons

1. It's thin enough
2. If it's not, using slim fans or even no fans at all and just using the gpu fans is a valid way of using the case

Wouldn't stress

[median frigate]

Bet I'll see how this goes then

Dude doesn't even know how to send an invoice little sus

@mortal grail I could also get a 7800xtx for 500$

[mortal grail]

7900xtx

Or 7800xt

[median frigate]

Sorry 7800xt

[mortal grail]

If you can trust the guy enough the 4080 deal is good

I agree with the invoicing and everything

[median frigate]

Yeah that's what im thinking

[mortal grail]

7800xt is not better than that if it's a real deal

Lol

9070xt would be for 600 odd

Not 7800xt

[median frigate]

Yeah the 4080 was outperforming the 5070ti in some benchmarks I saw

[mortal grail]

5070ti is like just shy of one so ye

[median frigate]

Rebranded 4080 💀

[mortal grail]

As the 5070 is a rebranded 4070 super so ye 💀

[median frigate]

Alright looks like he figured it out

[mortal grail]

Yay

So now you have supported documentation

Last thing I suggest

Set up your phone or a camera to video the unboxing

Start to finish

Record the whole thing

So that way you can show paypal

You can prove the injustice lol

[median frigate]

Wait bro just sent me an invoice of 630$

[mortal grail]

Check that with him

I mean he's offered 550, if he's changed that he should tell you

630 is still good

As long as you're ok with it and the details are otherwise correct

[wary fjord]

i wont call it sus i dont know either

i own paypal since 2014 hehe

[mortal grail]

The price is sus, but if he can prove himself thoroughly and is on HWS then it's a consideration

[wary fjord]

but be careful receiving large sum ammount of money on personal account.. paypal might flag u..

[mortal grail]

@median frigate you can check his account right

[median frigate]

Yeah he's verified and everything

[mortal grail]

Hm

Alr

We keep going

[wary fjord]

who pays the paypal tax tho

u or him

[median frigate]

Him

When he gets the money PayPal deducts the tax

[fresh timber]

Great fans when they work for a good while

Had only one with motor issues

Hope the rest doesn't follow

[mortal grail]

@craggy shoal issues huh

Why was he having issues with ur fan

Not his type?

[mental yoke]

paypal always seems like the most secure method to me however that fee for the added protection. but worth to me 🤷‍♂️

[craggy shoal]

Huh

[rancid juniper]

Huh?

[pliant berry]

zelle is essentially cash so if you lose money it will be hard to get back

[mortal grail]

huH?

[rancid juniper]

Why aren't english wordsmitheys better

Happers sounds cooler

Uses same letters

Inefficient design

Perhaps

[rancid juniper]

Got jealous of 9070xt being super efficient when undervolted that I set my GPU voltage much lower not caring about stability

The rare bloo lober

Did you know 1 in 10000 turn blue

They're literal shiny pokemon irl

This is why it's expensive for blue crayfish

Or at least one of the reasons

[rancid juniper]

That's cool

Nature's always got their rarities

[mortal grail]

Did you know they're also technically immortal

Lobsters molt to grow into bigger shells

[rancid juniper]

🤨

[mortal grail]

And each time they're essentially reborn

Reptiles are the same

[rancid juniper]

so you're telling me there's probably a big LOBER DEEP IN THE OCEAN???

[tranquil pebble]

This is what real PC gaming looks like

[mortal grail]

The reason both crayfish and reptiles die is they get too tired and big to molt to survive

[mortal grail]

Ye

But the weight on their own bodies becomes an issue

[rancid juniper]

kinda terrifying ngl

[mortal grail]

So like

[rancid juniper]

ok good

[mortal grail]

Also very unlikely lol

Physics is what holds all of them back

But yeah technically speaking they could live forever

[rancid juniper]

a world without physics would've been cursed

[mortal grail]

Crocs get huge af man

They can live to scary ages

Thankfully same thing happens, they get too big

Lol

If a croc can continue to eat tho it can really live for a long ass time

[pliant berry]

the shoes get bigger??

[proud jackal]

im the seller

[mortal grail]

Size 10 to XL

Sometimes even XXL

[rancid juniper]

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXL crocs

its in the game

Damn that’s good

[acoustic palm]

What’s your old gpu

[acoustic palm]

1200$ 9070xt + 9700x while overspending on looks

[median frigate]

2070

[mortal grail]

Legit when the card is running in the pc

[sinful blade]

Damn, I’d love a 2070

[mortal grail]

We ain't there yet

[median frigate]

Sold my old pc already lol

[tranquil pebble]

2070 Super went hard for its time

[median frigate]

I got it in 2021* and it still held up till this day

[tranquil pebble]

Nvidia is trying everything it can to kill it though XD

[median frigate]

That's pretty solid wtf

🙏

[mortal grail]

Solid if it works out

[sinful blade]

I’ll be upgrading in a few weeks

Going from 5700g to a 7500f, then hopefully a $260 gpu

[median frigate]

If the card doesn't work what do I do

Request a refund with PayPal

[acoustic palm]

Yeah

[median frigate]

And then ship it back?

[lone mango]

6700 xt

[median frigate]

I've never had any issues with anyone that's sold me anything on hws with past trades so I think I should be good

Bro said he down bad for cash 💀

[lone mango]

Brotha man desperate

[mortal grail]

Ye

[sinful blade]

Probably this is a 2080ti

Unless someone in here got an upgrade they wanna give me for it

[wary fjord]

aint that a downgrade 8 to 6 cores

[lone mango]

7500 sweeps still
