And I got blessed

The heat sink is bent in the middle you see it?

💀

[honest birch]

its also a ventus...

[craggy shoal]

Ehhh it's whatever. It's a $600 4080. Congratulations

[fresh timber]

Was it worth

[median frigate]

What's that mean

[fresh timber]

Cheaper prices

[median frigate]

Are ventus bad?

[fresh timber]

Yes

[craggy shoal]

Still not an Ass Rock

[honest birch]

one of the worst models of the 4080 is the ventus

[rigid sinew]

none of yall got pinged right

[fresh timber]

Stock makes Nvidia cards?

[honest birch]

asrock gpus are good

[median frigate]

Like performance wise?

Or worst coolers

[craggy shoal]

ASRock GPUs are not good lmao

[honest birch]

compared to other models yeah

[fresh timber]

[median frigate]

Damn

[fresh timber]

Flint and steel

Chicken jockey

[craggy shoal]

Ping where? :0

[fresh timber]

I am steevevevevev eve

[median frigate]

Can't be worse then a 5070 tho

[rigid sinew]

okay good, i fixed mee6 for social alerts

no ping

[craggy shoal]

[median frigate]

Yessir motor knows what's up

[misty sparrow]

no, but you just did

[median frigate]

4080>5070

https://tenor.com/view/pee-gif-21375990

[rigid sinew]

false i did not ping everyone

[honest birch]

the best 7900XTX is the asrock taichi oc for aircooled and aqua oc for watercooled
best 6900xt and 6950 xt is the asrock oc formula

[misty sparrow]

you got me

[median frigate]

😂

[rigid sinew]

u dont deserve my pings

[misty sparrow]

you really think of me that low?

[rigid sinew]

trick question, i dont think

[misty sparrow]

what does your brain do

[craggy shoal]

eqq

[craggy shoal]

It sends a photo of a GTI and says "eqq"

[rigid sinew]

it brains

[misty sparrow]

is it smooth

[craggy shoal]

Car? Yes. Brain? lol no

[rigid sinew]

what song

[craggy shoal]

Crazy Discord message pull

[rigid sinew]

stop

see now i had to delete

[craggy shoal]

Wha :0

He makes music

[misty sparrow]

I’ve never heard of that artist before

[rigid sinew]

i know but now people will start using that word

[craggy shoal]

Oh gotcha lol

Notification (from Outlook, which is downloaded locally on my phone, intended to give me notifications, FROM the Outlook app): Get Outlook for iOS

Okay Outlook

[sinful blade]

It’s a music artist

[rigid sinew]

i know lolol

[craggy shoal]

Bruh

[rigid sinew]

idk what song though

[sinful blade]

I guess the whole brain album

This ain’t a bad song though

[rigid sinew]

nah but the name - i dont want people to use the word

[sinful blade]

Ohhhh

I read that wrong

Put it banned word on mee6

[rigid sinew]

i was gonna put it on dyno

[sinful blade]

Do that instead ye

[rigid sinew]

but i need to get into dyno first lol

[icy ore]

[dense locust]

🔥

[median frigate]

Does anyone know where to plug this in? It's like the last thing I need to plug in looks like it goes to the fan hub but idk what it does

This my mobo

[worthy meteor]

argb

[median frigate]

Controls the rgb?

[worthy meteor]

it's addressible rgb

[wary fjord]

https://www.reddit.com/r/oneui/comments/1jrvzxx/my_wife_left_me_because_of_oneui_7/

[median frigate]

Oh the case button changes it right?

[hoary zodiac]

There's two different types of RGB headers

[worthy meteor]

whatever you plug it into controls it

[median frigate]

What's the differance

[worthy meteor]

if it's plugged into the hub, the hub controls it, if the hub is then plugged into the mobo, the mobo controls it

[hoary zodiac]

The two types of rgb headers are physically different

[worthy meteor]

5v and 12v

[dense locust]

An rgb

[hoary zodiac]

And also a-rgb allows for more fine tuning

[median frigate]

It stems from the hub

[fresh timber]

the motherboard

[median frigate]

Idk if I would plug it back into the hub if it comes from the hub

[hoary zodiac]

Fancier effects basically

[median frigate]

Ahh I see

[fresh timber]

does the hub have addressable red green blue

[hoary zodiac]

You don't wanna get the two mixed up

They are not compatible

[median frigate]

It has a 3 pin

[fresh timber]

stick it in if u want, or onto motherboard to use motherboard contorl

[worthy meteor]

plug it from the hub into the mobo

[median frigate]

It's coming from the top of the hub you want me to plug it into itself? 💀

[median frigate]

Does it matter which one I use?

Would sys fan work

Sys fan has 4 pins tho

[fresh timber]

ima buy a hub

im bored

[median frigate]

There's one call dled2 that has 3 top right

[worthy meteor]

3 pin argb only works with 3 pin argb

if it has 4 pins

its not 3 pin argb

[fresh timber]

i dont even need a hub, i got daisy chaining capabilitys

[median frigate]

So dled2 is the correct spot?

That one has 3 pins

Only 3 pin on the board actually

[worthy meteor]

yes

argb sometimes called drgb

[median frigate]

It was confusing me cause it had this as led strip lol

[hoary zodiac]

Average manufacturer behaviour

There should be a standard for motherboard header naming conventions

Yess?

[tranquil pebble]

gonna try these tomorrow

[median frigate]

Boys does it matter which way the heat sink goes on

As long as I put the fans on correct it don't matter right

[worn wave]

Yeah just up to you

It might be offset slightly, I can't quite tell though

Probably put the larger/longer side upwards so there's more clearance for getting the GPU in

[hoary zodiac]

TIL the engineering group project is overengineered

[royal crow]

(Sarcastic gasp)

[tranquil pebble]

[dusk knot]

Just saying Bryce

[dense locust]

1 part to go

2 if I want to save for a 4tb ssd

[vernal zealot]

What's a good PC to run games smoothly such as Valorant and Rust? Not too experienced so any help would be appreciated

[royal crow]

Depends what resolution you'd be playing at

[vernal zealot]

What would the best be?

[royal crow]

1440p

[vernal zealot]

What PC would you recommend aswell?

[royal crow]

What price would you be willing to spend, that influences it a lot

[vernal zealot]

Let's say max is $3,200

[royal crow]

You've got a lot of room then

[acoustic palm]

Is this for a pc + monitor + peripherals

[vernal zealot]

Just PC

[acoustic palm]

What’s your current monitor

[vernal zealot]

Well it's a little tv but I'm about to get a monitor

[acoustic palm]

Ok so if you’re getting that nice of a pc

You want a good monitor

And 2 monitors is very good

You can get a 1440p 360hz OLED, and still have plenty for a high end pc

[median frigate]

This is supposed to connect both my fans together from my cpu cooler but one has 3 pins and the other has 4?

[acoustic palm]

Lemme make you a list rq

[vernal zealot]

Bet

[velvet summit]

Note that you can't play bioshock with more than 1 monitor connected to your pc

[acoustic palm]

Argb and power

[royal crow]

I would recommend 7800x3d, x870 mobo, 64gb ram, rx7900 xt, xtx, or 9070xt, and a 2tb drive

[median frigate]

I looked up a youtube video and the guy daisy changed the fans together but mine can't be daisy changed like his

[acoustic palm]

Eh

[worthy meteor]

look at what exactly it is

[acoustic palm]

Wait I’ll make a list

[worthy meteor]

sometimes 4 pin pwm splitters just don't use the tach pin on the second connector

[wary fjord]

lol is that a pun for "fearless Assassin"

[worthy meteor]

because it can only use the tach data from a single fan

[median frigate]

My fans both have this and then power cord but nothing connects them together

[misty sparrow]

remastered or original?

[worthy meteor]

also I'm 90% sure that's pwm from the keying on the connector

[median frigate]

Should I just plug both in anyways then even tho one is 3 pin and other is 4

[worthy meteor]

just missing tach pin because manufacturer is lazy

[median frigate]

Ah so it's okay if one has 3

[acoustic palm]

@vernal zealot couple questions
Do you want a pure performance or aesthetic build
Do you want a black or white build
Any preference on gpu brand

[worthy meteor]

it just means the motherboard reads the header as 1 fan and only reports 1 fan speed for that header

[fresh timber]

@acoustic palm

quaker oats

[median frigate]

There's two connected to it tho

[fresh timber]

i have faster ram now

[vernal zealot]

Performance and whatever will work best

[acoustic palm]

Alr

2TB ssd storage fine?

[vernal zealot]

Yessir

[worthy meteor]

yes, that's what I'm saying

it won't have the tach data for the second fan

it's just how it works

[median frigate]

@worthy meteor what do I do with this then there is two one on each fan for the cpu cooler, I connected both cpu fans together using the y cable

[worthy meteor]

the tach pin on the second fan won't be connected there

[worthy meteor]

that's for daisy chain 3 pin argb

[acoustic palm]

You said valorant was a game you play correct

[vernal zealot]

Correct

[median frigate]

They both have female tho

How can I connect them lol

[worthy meteor]

it's for daisy chaining argb into it

[acoustic palm]

Do you do any kind of video editing

[vernal zealot]

Planning on it

[median frigate]

So it isn't necessary for rgb just to sync it to other rgb

[acoustic palm]

4k?

[vernal zealot]

Ye

[acoustic palm]

K

[craggy shoal]

Just let AI edit your videos

lol

[vernal zealot]

I would but I have a certain way I think would be great lol

[acoustic palm]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bpRdt3

Here’s what I got so far

[fresh nova]

Just make sure it's installed right for airflow & the mounting bracket lines up.

[vernal zealot]

Ooo

So far?

[fresh nova]

If you have a top fan or exhaust on your case & the heatsink can do it I actually recommend pointing the fans up ⤴️ if it doesn't hit the RAM.

[median frigate]

My name is Bryce too lol

[fresh nova]

With a Y?

[median frigate]

Yeah

[fresh nova]

Holy

[acoustic palm]

Maybe there’ll be stuff to pop up, better deals

[craggy shoal]

lol ryce

[vernal zealot]

Oh okay, well thank you I really appreciate it

[median frigate]

Wait do yall know if I need to plug this in tho

Cause both fans have one but there's no way to daisy chain them for some reason

[acoustic palm]

Np

[fresh nova]

That's for RGB.

[median frigate]

Idk if it's necessary for rgb to function

[warm fulcrum]

if both fans have them then yeah you should plug them in

if you wanna daisy chan you can get a splitter for cheap

[median frigate]

But I don't have enough spots on my mobo

[fresh nova]

Yes each cable controls each fan.

[fresh nova]

Splitter.

[warm fulcrum]

then you'll just have to grab a splitter

or a hub

[fresh nova]

You can split those about 4 times before they start loosing power off one mobo connection.

[dense locust]

After careful consideration it Looks like a pc

[median frigate]

Wait I actually have one more spot on my hub

And one on my mobo

[fresh nova]

The ones with 4 pins instead of 3 so the 12v ones instead of the 5v ones can be split like up to 8 times before they start loosing power.

[dense locust]

Take a guess what it was

[median frigate]

Man it covers my ram

Heartbreaking

[acoustic palm]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1093800682601062430/1104613213749923870/Screenshot_2023-03-02_195313.gif

[velvet summit]

Both
Your mouse may try to leave the game and then you'll click out of it
And then because the game can't handle alt tab or any kind of application switching without breaking, if you click out of it, the game may break

[fresh nova]

Hmm

[median frigate]

Extra cooled ram I guess

💀

My case is matx so it smaller

[honest birch]

thats not how fans work

[fresh timber]

Ima put my side panel in

[honest birch]

💀

[fresh timber]

Works for me

[dense locust]

I put the fans parallel to my cooler for maximum performance

[acoustic palm]

Damnn...

I remember that cpu man

That thing was crazy back then

I remember watching jayztwocents

Now that core count is more or less normal

[craggy shoal]

Y'all remember when AMD was getting really good so Intel just slapped an S in front of a K and called it their next flagship i9?

[frigid stag]

It’s not exactly normal cause they’re mostly e cores

9980 is a bit different

[sinful blade]

https://youtu.be/R2c7SnqE4fU?

[frigid stag]

Looks sketchy

Considering a 5960x beats all those CPU’s

[craggy shoal]

Man wtf

[frigid stag]

Ye early ryzen was not good lol

[craggy shoal]

With this result y'all would just take a lifted hatchback (crossover)

[frigid stag]

They made good CPU’s with zen 3 and forward

[royal crow]

I mean, the 13/14900KS were the best ever, so it must've worked…

[craggy shoal]

7800X3D joins the chat

[royal crow]

Allow me to clarify: best Intel chips

24 cores clocked up to 6.2GHz

[nocturne flicker]

Wow, I am so surprised that an extremely overclocked $1000 HEDT processor from a cpu generation known for its staying power when overclocked is comparable to modern processors of similar configs at stock

[dense locust]

Isn’t this the channel that posted a 9070xt benchmark a few days before it even releaseed

[nocturne flicker]

Though looking closer, is that a graph of average 1% lows?

[lone mango]

Plus which games were tested

[sinful blade]

I dunno

[lone mango]

Brotha knew someone

Graphics card plug

[dense locust]

Hmmm it was a channel by a different name but their thumbnails look similar

[nocturne flicker]

I found the video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I291YgmAvMk

Dude has the weirdest benchmark choices I've seen

3 games at 720p Medium settings

Also using a 3060 as the gpu

[lone mango]

To make it even more cpu demanding

Thats why he did 720

Nobody playing at 720 tho

Or 1080p performance upscaling

Thats like 360p or something

But even then

Still holds its own

And nah he did far cry and cyberjunk so its legit

But I wonder how expensive the boards are though

That and silicon lottery

[nocturne flicker]

I took the averages of the 5800x at stock over those 7 games compared to those results from the 5960x. The 5800x is about 5.4% better

[lone mango]

Guy in the comments was at 4.2 vs the video having 4.6

[lone mango]

Kinda crazy its so close tbh

Imagine at 1080p native they would be identical

[nocturne flicker]

There is probably a fair amount of silicon lottery. 4.6ghz is 1.1ghz over the boost clock

[dense locust]

this cpu is a good overclocker so every cpu must be a good overclocker

-YouTuber

[nocturne flicker]

The mobos aren't too bad now. Back when those cpus were new and cost $1k, the motherboards were 300+, but apparently some new ones are still kicking around that aren't questionable Chinese boards for $120 and used prices vary as expected

I imagine because support managed to last until about 2018

Wow, I am now bluer

[hoary zodiac]

Pickled herring

yes or no

[honest birch]

The i7-5775C beats the 3600X easily

Change the cpu back and see if it boots

[elfin mural]

What is your mobo and old cpu model?

And tell me about the new cpu too

[hard flint]

5600 to 5800x3d , asus b550 f

[elfin mural]

okay

so you will want to install that 5600 back in

update the bios

and install the 5800x3d

[hard flint]

Did that no power

Checked the cables all good

[elfin mural]

Try to reset cmos

[hard flint]

Cmos ?

[wary fjord]

Does ur bios support that new cpu that u installed? Also check for bent pina

Install back the old one

Sometimes its doing post test it might take awhile. Or try to clear the cmos

[barren dew]

Has anyone tried the SteamOS?

[craggy shoal]

Super random but if you planned on moving to Houston for whatever reason, please don't. We're at capacity. Our HOV lanes get clogged and makes them pointless

[craggy shoal]

Do not move here.

[acoustic palm]

That’s not that bad

[craggy shoal]

It's ASS

[acoustic palm]

30mph is not terrible

[craggy shoal]

Damn

[frigid stag]

It’s not just this one and it’s not xoc, also costs like 50 bucks used. A non hedt of those generations could also do it, might even be faster. That’s how slow early ryzen was

[craggy shoal]

I’m sure this is an obvious question, but why don't they just make one big CCD for the x900X3D and x950X3D CPUs instead of splitting them into 8 and 4 cores and 8 and 8 cores?

[frigid stag]

Probably more expensive

And I think the 9900x3d is 6+6

[fresh timber]

Yeah it’s

[craggy shoal]

Bruh

We need Falcie back so he can answer that for me lol

Or Felix

[fresh timber]

I’m here

I’m a replacement

[craggy shoal]

Bruh

[devout forum]

IIRC it's both to be able to have cores with and without 3d vcache as well as to make the chip cheaper to make

two 8 core chiplets are yielding better than a huge singular die

less likely to have a failure on board after making

[dense locust]

Pretty sure it’s split as 6+6

[craggy shoal]

I just learned that

[dense locust]

It’s amd saving money on failed cores

[misty sparrow]

Well I don’t know anywhere better than where I’m currently at

if Texas is bad then what’s a good place to go?

[elfin mural]

A big ccd would most likely increase die size

And it adds costs

So AMD just tries to work on making the die denser and denser with each generation

[dense locust]

Chips are weird

[elfin mural]

Which also adds costs, so die size concern is AMD's primary motive

[dense locust]

I guess 2 smaller die has a greater yield than 1 bigger die

[sinful blade]

[royal crow]

breh

[unreal trail]

bruh

[rigid sinew]

ive never been so happy to be in april

[craggy shoal]

What's happiness?

[rigid sinew]

when you dont have to wait a whole year for a season to come out cause you watched the season late

[median frigate]

Guys I only have 5 cables plugged into my psu is that normal?

One for mobo, one for cpu, one for gpu, one for the fan hub

Actually two for the Mobo

So really four

[grand kernel]

if you don't need more than yeah

a lot of builds these days don't need sata power anymore

pretty normal to only have 3 cables plugged in on PSU side

that's the point of modular psu right?

[median frigate]

Yeah it's just surprising lol

Thought I'd have to wire a bunch of cables like my last one

W modular psu

[fresh timber]

I just bought a single new egg stock

As an investor I’m making drastic changes

[median frigate]

No gpu saggage either 🥰

Final product

[craggy shoal]

I think there's a motherboard attached to your cooler sir

[median frigate]

Best 40$ cooler in the game

[dusk knot]

So the 4080 works?

[median frigate]

Bout to turn it on and see

Is this how these go on btw?

[craggy shoal]

The antennas? Yeah they look right

Personally I would split them so they're more like \/ and not like ||

(Idk if this does anything tbh)

[median frigate]

Bet

Any last checks I should do before I hit the power?

[craggy shoal]

hit it

make sure that power supply switch is on

[median frigate]

Bro I gotta switch my around

Just realized it's wrong

All of those top are intake

But the left most one needs to be exhaust to match my cpu fans

@dusk knot that's corrects right?

[craggy shoal]

Flip the top and rear fan

[median frigate]

Why

Only the rear needs to be flipped

To match the direction of my cpu cooler

[craggy shoal]

Top and rear needs to be exhaust. They're all intake

[median frigate]

Top doesn't need to be

Rear is gonna be only exhaust

[craggy shoal]

What's front cooling?

[median frigate]

I ain't removing my cpu cooler to do all that lol

[craggy shoal]

I mean I guess it's fine if you have filters at the top

[craggy shoal]

oh gotcha lol

Yeah tops might as well be cooling

[dusk knot]

Yes sir

Wait a minute.....

[median frigate]

Top left needs to be switched tho

[dusk knot]

The top fans are wrong

You need to flip them

[median frigate]

What's wrong with them

[dusk knot]

The orientation would blow air back into the CPU cooler

You don't want that

[craggy shoal]

Honestly I'm thinking the top fans should be intakes at this point. That GPU is phat asf and would probably block the bottom intakes (if any?), let alone their being no front intakes

[median frigate]

But it's blowing intake into the cpu cooler

[craggy shoal]

Just make sure there's a filter on the top fans

[median frigate]

And the cpu cooler is set up to exhaust top left

[dusk knot]

No. That's not efficient. Hot air rises @median frigate

[median frigate]

Alright how game changing is this tho

Cause I'd need to remove my cpu cooler and flip the fans and that's a lot of work

[dusk knot]

It has to be done

What you have rn will make it harder for hot air to escape

Since you don't have front fans, your options are limited

[honest birch]

Cramped ass case

[dusk knot]

Let's be nice now 😤

[honest birch]

Cost

[craggy shoal]

:0

[honest birch]

950X3D is already 8+8 so idk wym there

[craggy shoal]

NO. I'M DONE BEING NICE. YOUR BUILD IS ASS

(for moderating reasons, this is a joke)

[dusk knot]

Lmao

[nocturne flicker]

Nope, it is actually 145%. Bigger number betterer surely

[honest birch]

8+4 ccds still has the interconnect latency, it only solves one problem

[craggy shoal]

"make them a single CCD...instead of splitting them into 8 and 8 cores"

[honest birch]

Yeah cuz of cost

[dusk knot]

Wth

[honest birch]

Monolithic costs more to produce

[dusk knot]

It was 125% yesterday

💀

[honest birch]

Also they already went forward with chiplet architecture

So can't really change it

Maybe with am6 you will see monolithic x3d

[nocturne flicker]

Tariffs shall increase until morale improves 🙃

[median frigate]

I just thiught of something

I can just unplug switch it around

[dusk knot]

Flip the other fan to

[median frigate]

And I wont have to remove cpu cooler

Big brain

[dusk knot]

Great

[nocturne flicker]

Also, the stock market wiped about half the rally from yesterday

[median frigate]

Unplug it pull it out then switch it around if you understand lol

[honest birch]

People need to chill tf out, we arent gonna go into a recession

[median frigate]

I was thinking I'd have to remove my cpu cooler for some reason

[dusk knot]

Love this meme

[fresh timber]

OU

NO

NO P OR E words

Bad jp

[devout forum]

Aren't y'all getting a wee bit political there guys?

[craggy shoal]

Woah guys

[nocturne flicker]

Did I venture into politics? I'll stop and wipe then

[craggy shoal]

I think tariffs itself is a hot topic rn. Maybe let's not even talk about that unless it's strictly tech-related (just imo)

[fresh timber]

The mod did it

Ban him

[rancid juniper]

just realized my laptop cpu has AVX 512

[craggy shoal]

Yeah I remember using a 1135G7

I hated it

So then I got a MacBook and a Lenovo Legion

[rancid juniper]

not the greatest cpu for a laptop but it gets the job done, id rather use this than a cheap celeron/pentium/atom laptop

[fossil crag]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/176998010065 crazy

Brand new account lol

[devout forum]

@worthy meteor hello there

[worthy meteor]

Hi

[proud jackal]

[fresh timber]

What happened to no politics

[wary fjord]

if u want to toast that laptop

go use it

[fresh timber]

I want to toast you

[rancid juniper]

Alright... Loads up rpcs3

[rigid sinew]

if you want your pet to be featured on our social media pages let me know right now and tag me in the pic you post

[proud jackal]

[plucky stratus]

This steam os Lenovo needs to drop already

[craggy shoal]

Put Bazzite OS on your Legion

Basically Steam OS

[plucky stratus]

Meh

I don’t even have one yet and if reviews of the go s with the z1 w/ steamos has good reviews I’m buying it

I kinda want to avoid dealing with windows otherwise I’d prob wait for the go 2 and do bazzite

[velvet summit]

[craggy shoal]

I should change my profile picture

So many new people here since I’ve made it and a lot of the oldies have left

[dusk knot]

So....

What's up

[dense locust]

I’m pcing

[dusk knot]

No. You are Fry

[lone mango]

Fry's

[frigid stag]

Nice case

[dusk knot]

The blue.....

With black

[craggy shoal]

It's so old though

I’ve had this pfp since high school lmaooo

Nobody cares for this pfp like back then lol

[dusk knot]

Looks clean, but the color is bothering me 😭

[dense locust]

You’re right

I should add a white cooler to even it out

[lone mango]

Maybe white cables too

[dusk knot]

You've been here since 2020 and that Pfp is all I've known

[lone mango]

Would definitely make it unique

[dense locust]

Then set rgb to red

[craggy shoal]

Longer than 2020. I was auto kicked for swearing too many times in the past lol. MEE6 was fed up lollll

[dusk knot]

You can try. It's just the components have too much emphasis

[dusk knot]

Oh right lol

I've been here since....2019 I believe

Glad you don't do that anymore with testing the bot

[dusk knot]

I've never seen a single store in my life

[dense locust]

Rip fry’s electronics

[proud jackal]

That was the closest one near me

I bought Skyrim there in 2011

[lone mango]

Damnnn\

[proud jackal]

I bought some of my first PC parts there in early 2000s

[lone mango]

I got my first pc parts at frys in 2018

The one close to me didnt have the r5 2600 so we went to another one that had it

Got the cpu, motherboard, fans and ssd from frys

[proud jackal]

They had jungle noises playing at that frys

On speaker, outside

[dusk knot]

Did they sell fries?

[lone mango]

Yeah their themes they had were cool

[proud jackal]

No, they had a small cafe that sold sandwiches and drinks

[dusk knot]

Bruh

[lone mango]

Yeah in the middle of the store more or less

They also sold furniture and other things besides tech

[misty sparrow]

Why the hell does it look like an Aztec pyramid

[lone mango]

Frys sofa

[lone mango]

Because they had cool themes that made them stand out

The most popular one is the ufo one

[proud jackal]

Car stereo section and just blasting everything full volume

[lone mango]

They did it to themselves though

They refused to change how they operate

[proud jackal]

Their online shopping was subpar and their stores were always lacking stock

[lone mango]

Salesmen competed against each other and they chose to not change their buying strategy

Basically the supplier would give them stock but frys only pays them for what sells

[proud jackal]

I liked their price matching stuff vs major retailers and sites

[lone mango]

So they receive 100 9070s from sapphire for "free" and then only pay sapphire for 20 of them because only 20 sold

For example

Suppliers dont operate like that anymore

But they refused to change

So they had less and less supply as a result of suppliers not operating like that anymore

[dusk knot]

Amazing

[lone mango]

Add that with the strange sales thing going on and you now have less business

And their stubbornness to adapt to online stuff as well

Just crappy management from stubborn fellas that didnt want to change anything

Like they thought they could just put these down in a good area and rake in money forever

[elfin mural]

fry's fried

[lone mango]

Frys fried themselves

[elfin mural]

exactly

[dusk knot]

They really had a smart plan for attracting customers from the outside.

Cool exteriors

[dense locust]

We still have a store named fry’s here

I guess they sold off to Kroger and they kept the name

[dense locust]

Hey the interiors were cool too

[tranquil pebble]

Kentucky Fried CPU

[nocturne flicker]

There used to be a Fye in Burlington, no Fry's, but you could get fries somewhere

[dusk knot]

How does that look? I would expect if the store has Inca on the outside, so should the interior lol

[dense locust]

I had a photo think it’s on my old phone

[silver sparrow]

firefox is hungry for ram

[median frigate]

This might be a dumb question but is this in the on or off postion

💀

[velvet summit]

Off 💀

[median frigate]

Bro this got me paranoid 😭

Had to make sure

[velvet summit]

How do you not know it's like on half of every electronic with a switch

[median frigate]

I don't want to plug it in and have it go all a sudden lmao

[dense locust]

If I worked at the factory I’d install the switch upside down to troll someone

[royal crow]

unless something is horribly, painfully, immensly, extrordinarily, monumentally, completely wrong with your psu, that is off.

[velvet summit]

[median frigate]

Bro the money I spent has my brain not working

😭

[nocturne flicker]

O is for off and I is for...uh...okay O is for 0 in binary and I is for 1 in binary

Yes

[dusk knot]

💀

@median frigate how's the fans? 🤔

[median frigate]

They not spinning for some reason

Top and rear

[wary fjord]

check if plug in

[nocturne flicker]

Did you plug in the actual fan cables

[wary fjord]

maybe u just plug the argb header

[dusk knot]

PWM wires

There should be two sets of wires per fan.

[median frigate]

There plugged in here

There's this at the top I think this is the Pwm wires

[dusk knot]

You sure the hub is plugged properly to the motherboard?

[median frigate]

The hub is plugged into my psu

It has a SATA cable

[dusk knot]

Hm

I wish I was there

[median frigate]

I think I found the culprit

All the fans are daisy chained

[dusk knot]

Oof

I hate those

Nice catch

[acoustic palm]

@dusk knot @fresh timber guess what FINALLY arrived

[fresh timber]

FANS

the fans i got tin one day

[acoustic palm]

AND

my tennis game was over in 15 minutes

[fresh timber]

damn

i kinda wanna get a new case

[acoustic palm]

So that means

[fresh timber]

use nv5 for another project

[acoustic palm]

Pc done today

😮

[fresh timber]

ooo

i got new ram and honestly, imi very happy with my pc

only thinkgs i wanan change is a better gpu rn and a diffrent case, ert is changing up my setup

[unreal trail]

🫵 🤓

[proud jackal]

Buy buy buy

[dusk knot]

Nice. More RGB is always good

[acoustic palm]

I gotta question

Can I daisy chain the power from my aio fans with my exhaust fan

[dusk knot]

No idea

[sinful blade]

I just bought the black ones

Lmao

Arrived yesterday

[acoustic palm]

Nice

I bought these 3 weeks ago

💀

[acoustic palm]

Cause the daisy chain is 3 pins so I’m kinda confused

[dusk knot]

Hmm

[acoustic palm]

And no it’s not the rgb daisy chain

[dusk knot]

I've daisy chained before, but the fan wires had extra headers. I can't tell you what I haven't done

[acoustic palm]

Damn

Well I’ll see if it works

It’s sub 1 amps so

[fresh timber]

im daisy chaining 8 fans right now on a single header, same for argb

[acoustic palm]

Gg

[dusk knot]

[nocturne flicker]

Monitor big

I think 27in is a bit too much for my use case

[frigid stag]

I agree

Idk what your use is but I agree

[lone mango]

I think 24.5 is great

Not very common though

And good luck finding 1440p below 27

[frigid stag]

Fun fact but if you measure them they’re not 24 inches exactly

[lone mango]

[frigid stag]

Many are 25 inch or around there

[nocturne flicker]

I found a couple but they are all IPS

[frigid stag]

Do you want va or something

[lone mango]

They call them 25 inch but I guess the panel is 24.5 kinda like how 24 is 23.8

[frigid stag]

Ye some are slightly larger or smaller

But ye 24 inch is probably the best imo

27 inch is usable but too big for me at least for competitive games

[nocturne flicker]

Yes, I prefer VA

[lone mango]

There is a 25 inch 1440p monitor from a company called titan army but they are kind of a nobody and its on amazon

[frigid stag]

Well if oled isn’t on the table

There was a cheap one a few weeks ago but ultra wide

[lone mango]

The monitor has good colors and doesnt seem to be trash

[nocturne flicker]

I don't do ultra wide either. I've got the 27in in today, I just have mixed feelings on the size

[fresh timber]

How…

[lone mango]

I think it was like 95% dcip3

[fresh timber]

Va is like.. worst

[frigid stag]

Maybe give it a few days and see if you like it

I think I could get used to a 42 inch as well if I wasn’t playing competitive games but that’s just me

[nocturne flicker]

Yeah, I'll give it a go for a bit before coming to an actual opinion.

I have to figure out how to get LotRO looking acceptable at 1440p

[lone mango]

27 inch was real nice when i was playing gran turismo but tbh this 25 inch is a good in between for it and other games

Bruhhhh

Balou left too

So 4 big fellas gone

[icy ore]

[honest birch]

26.5 counting oled

there are 24 inch 1440p monitors but theyre older and not very good but iirc theres like a project with a good 1440p 24 inch panel

[lone mango]

Thats right actually but they are super expensive

My brain filtered them out

Yeah 24 inch is almost non existant

There are 24 inch monitors that are sold but not here

[frigid stag]

Iirc dell has one

[lone mango]

I mean high refresh rate ones

Like there are 24 inch but they are like 60hz

[frigid stag]

There’s a 144hz one

I’m pretty sure

[lone mango]

If you want something fast you have to get the titan army or figure out how to get the chinese ones

[frigid stag]

The Chinese ones are dope

[nocturne flicker]

Dell has 3 different 24in 1440p models iirc

[lone mango]

But its been a while since I had a 27 inch I wanna see what thats like again

[frigid stag]

I want to try to the new 750hz monitor

[lone mango]

Yeah they seem to be pretty good

Just hard to get

[frigid stag]

Ye

[frigid stag]

Idk if they’re still making it or they’re coming out later

[nocturne flicker]

One of them is 60hz and the other two are 100hz from Dell

[lone mango]

Yeah good secondary monitors but not main ones

[frigid stag]

Oh must’ve been 100hz then not 144hz

[nocturne flicker]

They also cost like $3-400

[lone mango]

[frigid stag]

If it’s ultra sharp, worth

Those monitors look so good

I’d lowkey get one as a 2nd monitor even if it’s 60hz just for how good it looks

[lone mango]

Found it
https://a.co/d/3VziriJ

Goes hard

[frigid stag]

Damn

[lone mango]

There are no in depth reviews but there are videos on it

[frigid stag]

Ngl if I was going to 1440p I’d just learn to adapt to 27 inch

Lol

[lone mango]

They are like "this monitor is great for the price but the stand sucks"

[nocturne flicker]

Frequently returned

[lone mango]

Weird

Never showed for me

Even the last time I saw that listing

[frigid stag]

Maybe it was too small for them

Check the recent reviews

[lone mango]

Reviews seem good

People on amazon can be npcs

They will buy something and it wont be what they expected and be like "this is garbage this sucks" whatever and its because what they really wanted was something else

[nocturne flicker]

I like that one guy who saw one bad review and decided to make a post titled Ignore the Haters

[lone mango]

Ohhhh hahahaha

I remember that review

It is still peak bruh

[nocturne flicker]

It may be bootleg but it is still peak bruh

[lone mango]

Wait it doesnt show the coupon

There was a $40 coupon

1440p 240hz for 240

[frigid stag]

Yeah I saw one that said “bought this (iPhone 14 pro max case) and it didn’t fit on my 14 pro, it said pro max but only in the description, I didn’t read it so they should’ve made it more obvious”

[lone mango]

Yeah you gotta dissect the reviews because some people are just silly man

Ok im wrong there are more 24 inchers out there
https://a.co/d/90SRyC1
https://a.co/d/ddgu51J

And ktc is not a bad brand really

[tranquil pebble]

Someone needs to mod SimCity 2000 newspapers to use LLM output lol

[nocturne flicker]

It'll go on a unhinged tangent about the color of taxi cabs

[honest birch]

no reviews on them though

so hed have to be a guinea pig

[lone mango]

Yeah

[dense locust]

People said am5 takes forever to boot on first boot but mine took 5 seconds

[frigid stag]

Did u time it

Check power settings in windows, sometimes it doesn’t turn off the pc fully

[dense locust]

Cold boot

First boot after building

No os

[frigid stag]

Oh

Ye most people mean boot to Windows

Either way it does usually memory train on first boot

Maybe it’s fixed on newer motherboards

[dense locust]

It booted faster than my am4

lol

[frigid stag]

That’s strange

[dense locust]

Ima put a Linux m.2

See what it does

[frigid stag]

Do you have intel optane ssd by any chance

[median frigate]

Anyone got any good mouse/keyboard recommendations for fps games

[cursive oasis]

Hey, I'm building a secondary PC, how reliable is Linux for steam?

Or should I stick with windows?

I'm gonna assume I should just stick with windows

[dense locust]

Depends

[fresh timber]

I need a good, cheap monitor arm, I don’t need gas spring I mf hate gas spring dual monitor

Send link plz

[cursive oasis]

On what

[dense locust]

What you play

[cursive oasis]

It's mainly for portability, so I can bring it over to other places and play with other friends

I would play multi-player games that vary, like terraria and helldivers 2

[dusk knot]

Hm

[acoustic palm]

I finished my pc and it posted first try 😄

[rigid sinew]

wowowowowo!!!! how cool! and good job!

[acoustic palm]

Thanks 🙂

Now I gotta deal with bitlocker so I gtg

[median frigate]

It's that rare for them to post first try ?

Looks clean asl btw 👀

After installing ssd I’m getting c5 code on motherboard

Now what

[fresh timber]

thank the lord it wasnt a c4

[lone mango]

Pretty good except for some multiplayer shooters

[acoustic palm]

Apex doesn’t run on Linux if that’s what you play

[lone mango]

Good thing I quit that game years ago

[dense locust]

The pins are bent???

How

How

[lone mango]

[acoustic palm]

I still play 🙂

[lone mango]

How did you put in the cpu

[dense locust]

Could they have bent from me pushing the cpu cooler a bit?

[lone mango]

Nah because the clamp and mounting pressure are probably much higher than the force you put on it

[tranquil pebble]

or reticulating splines

[dense locust]

How did it boot just fine them before I moved the cpu cooler

[lone mango]

Are you assuming the pins are bent or are they actually bent right now

[mental yoke]

its always if it aint broke dont fix it

[tranquil pebble]

I have seen AM4 take 10+ minutes to boot

[lone mango]

C5 can also mean ram

[tranquil pebble]

happened once when I put 5700x3d in, then ever since booted normally

[median frigate]

How long will it take for my 9800x3d to boot

[lone mango]

3 hours

[median frigate]

That quick?

Sweet

[lone mango]

Yeah they fixed it up

[tranquil pebble]

Windows 11 emulated on a 486 DX be like

[median frigate]

[lone mango]

Man

[frigid stag]

How 😂

Old filled up hdd?

[lone mango]

Ok hold on
