That last 3 never existed until now
It is a slightly lower clocked 7535h

it makes zero sense again
the 5 was only meant to be either 0 or 5
to denote market segment
at that point just put that 7535 on a lower power limit 😭

They made another sku that breaks the rules

But somehow made the laptop even worse
fresh timber
I had a 11370h until that laptop died
lone mango
He treated the laptop like an appliance and now it runs like crap
Also left it plugged in for years
That chip should run minecraft no problem but he has issues
I saw a video of the 1135g7 running deep rock, so I got him to get it when it was on sale
rancid juniper
1135g7...

He can barely run it despite having better cores and more shader units
So idk what he did to that laptop

tbh i dont really like tigerlake series

Oh I forgot

He also has 8 gigs of ram
elfin mural
playable but it's not optimal
lone mango
Forgot about that one
rancid juniper
still bad
rancid juniper
But the 1135 in the video ran it better
thats probably due to TDP
lone mango
Probably out of ram or something
elfin mural
you can still get a very base laptop with 8gb ram in 2025
rancid juniper
should've been 16gb now thanks to windows bloat
lone mango
I told him he can easily upgrade ram. He thought it was complicated but he saw all of the screws and could see through the vent on the bottom. But he will eventually get a pc soon
So it dont matter anymore ig
rancid juniper
can't really find a reason to get a new laptop when my current one still works

Apus are best with 24gb, dedicate 8gb to the gpu, 16gb for cpu

If your going 4c I’d rather go Intel so I can get some e cores to go with it

I have a 13600kf, I like e cores

I dont use my laptop very much and after close to 2 years, linux says battery health is 80%
So thats not good
fresh timber
Ima miss ecore when I swap to ryzen one of these days
lone mango
Sometimes the battery will die from being in sleep
Idk maybe its both the battery and cores

It’s a windows problem

Idk about mobile chips but I think they have low idle

Well kind of
lone mango
Linux I think lasts a little longer on sleep but still
elfin mural
all them e-cores aren't that efficient after all
lone mango
like even compared to zen 2
I should have spent more on the amd laptop man
lone mango
It’s
Fortunately it hibernates so I dont run into the problem very often
But if I plug it in, put it in sleep, then unplug
It will drain in sleep
Because the power mode was still high performance from being plugged in
What I do is unplug it and then put it in sleep so it will hibernate. Also helps that it wont be plugged in for the week or two that I dont use it
We love jank
elfin mural
i loath windows sleep
it never works properly
sometimes my laptop would just refuse to wake up

Or 150 I forgot but it’s between 150 to 250 for sure 😂
elfin mural
max heat
lone mango
Regardless even if 150, which is almost half is still insane
frigid stag
Ye so around 150 to 160 is the default but you can make it run higher
That’s the default “max” it looks like
lone mango
Literally pc dual tower cooler territory
I wonder what that sounds like
Does the laptop start pushing up on your hands because of the turbines spinning

You can try to force it to a certain rpm with afterburner or fancontrol but it'll just ignore it at like ~70c

the screen capture for discord will depend from each game

yea idk this pre build has just had way too many weird issues i’ve never encountered of my 8 years owning my other pc

The only other thing you could try really is updating/reinstalling gpu drivers. Only thing I imagine could cause it other than the gpu is if discord is using cpu instead of gpu for the encoding
desert bramble
but discord dosent even let you pick what gpu or cpu u wanna use for streaming your screen

despite saying they were avaliable online was trying to see a showing tonight but thats off tables now sadly

It was the last offical Star wars flim... made by Lucas... as Disney star wars movies were not made by him at all
Revenge of sith was also last Star wars movie with the best saber duels out of entire series

to be fair it's not like the prequels were that good
onyx merlin
No other star wars movie was ever able to compare to revenge of sith
in terms of duels and music
hoary zodiac
ok John Williams is pretty based
I think the prequels were ok in general
never let George Lucas write a romcom

it was the first star wars movie I ever saw in theaters

Revenge of the Sith is the best of the prequels

are you sure it doesn't fit

Special phenom
hoary zodiac
what

the Peerless Assassin 90SE is 110mm in height
although the 90SE is more comparable to single tower coolers
it does cool the vrms pretty well tho so
🤷♂️
so it is better than the standard single tower

Which channel would be best to ask questions about my laptop disconnecting from the internet frequently, could be internet or hardware related I'm unsure

But look how cool it looks
True
If it was a few generations newer I probably would consider it but not 300

why is a small psu more expensive than a big one

why is a small psu more expensive than a big one
Because you have to fit all of the components in a smaller space
And the market for them is smaller
idle nexus
so for uh
basically academic purposes
& cuz I've said I was gonna figure this out forever now lol
dusk knot
idle nexus
I took a 200mm Thermaltake case fan that has this annoying 8-pin proprietary connection because it usually works with this even more annoying PCB
a PCB I had &... broke
idle nexus
dusk knot
what the heck
dusk knot
ew
idle nexus
you can see I cut off half of the 8 wires
now I gotta figure out how to splice it to a standard 3-pin argb connection
it's just weird cuz it has 4 pins: ground, data in, data out, & 5v
argb should only be 3 pins of course
it's easy to just line up ground with ground & 5v with 5v
pseudo raven
I ain’t paying for a glorified gif displayer
i wouldnt either but
some of the animations are seriously cool
idle nexus
I'm just not sure if I should cap data out or splice data in & data out together with data
pseudo raven
also its a decent idea if you have an oled to reduce burn in
but id just keep my monitor off lol
idle nexus
the PCB does give me a clue tho
idle nexus
so ig I'll cap off data out & splice 5v to 5v; ground to ground; & data in to data
I already tested the fan it works perfect
rancid juniper
fan modding?
idle nexus
it gives a tach reading, can slow down/speed up with pwm signal, & it spins
lol I'm attempting to bypass the damn controller
(1) cuz it's annoying & (2) cuz I broke it
dense locust
also its a decent idea if you have an oled to reduce burn in
just be like me and never stay on any app more than like 2 min

Isn’t wallpaper engine just gamers with their animated nude anime girls
i'm the 1% of people that doesnt use anime backgrounds on that. it has an option to hide all anime wallpapers, but the wallpaper engine community is so down bad to the point where they still show even when that setting is enabled

I might have installed my new Argb hub incorrectly idk
did you connect a device directly to the 3-pin header on the board to see if it's borked?

I have a Razer one in this build actually
that works great with OpenRGB
works horribly with Razer software
well it functions correctly & what not
fresh timber
Mhh

it just runs like 10 background tasks & that annoys me lol
but last time I tried to find it for someone, it wasn't even available anymore

Yuh
Ima go rgb to Argb adapter, controller, or fans that require a controller like lian li
fresh timber
I can’t even get software to see I have ARGB
idle nexus
are you on latest BIOS?
fresh timber
how is your motherboard still working
Cause you don’t need Argb to fiction
fresh timber
are you on latest BIOS?
Yeah I did that to try fixing it
dense locust
did you bend pins or something
fresh timber
Wot
Pins broken wouldn’t stop software from seeing my motherboard has ARGB
not even the leds on the motherboard are working
dense locust
maybe its the cable?
fresh timber
idle nexus
but the others work?
idle nexus
ehh it almost seems like the zones are somehow set to have too few LEDs assigned uh
fresh timber
idle nexus
do you have a picture of the controller for those?
or know which one
okay wait I forgot uh
with those controllers
fresh timber
This is the controller, idk what motherboard uses, but that one is dead
idle nexus
at least the thermaltake one
fresh timber
Motherboard controller died so I use the cases controller
idle nexus
you have to hold the reset button for like 20 seconds & then it blinks a few times
that indicates that it'll do what the motherboard tells it
if you have a connection from the motherboard header to the fan controller box/pcb thing
fresh timber
If I plug the motherboard into the case controller my case will swap from case control to motherboard control
idle nexus
which case is this?
idle nexus
Nv5, case controller is fine
your DRGB controller might be bad
I hate to cite reddit but
dense locust
so it wasnt the motherboard
makes sense
if something shorted out in the motherboard i would expect the motherboard to die tbh
idle nexus
lol ya & ngl, you'd smell it
I had this grand idea in like 2021 to put this massive LED strip setup in my case & it shorted
plastic burn smell
dense locust
did you open it as admin for open rgb?
idle nexus
idle nexus
dense locust
i set everything to a certain color and the motherboard is purple instead of blue 
i guess colors arent colors now

lol the worst is like on my Asrock board
for whatever reason it's RGB for most things
but BRG on the motherboard LEDs

should i make my only exhast not on the radiator a intake to help with negatiev pressure or nah
rancid juniper
Thats probably why I dont like it

speaking of problems, setting the preset to high quality slows down export by like 4x
i usually main balanced preset
lone mango
Difference is probably not noticeable right

should i make my only exhast not on the radiator a intake to help with negatiev ...
I dont understand that
What else is exhaust
fresh timber
i have 4 intakes, 7 exhast fans
idle nexus
should i make my only exhast not on the radiator a intake to help with negatiev ...
it just sucks when you have to flip fans over & show the less attractive side to get any airflow
fresh timber
ill order a reverse blade if i need to flip
idle nexus
lol are every single one of your fans on exhaust???
fresh timber
all my intake fans are reverse blades, so 4 reverse blades

How much

$75 for 3-pack of these https://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-500-2000-Connection-Reversable-CL-F167-PL12SW/dp/B0CCQ8PQB8?
kinda spensive ngl
fresh timber
I was thinking d30 fans but the price
idle nexus
they have different ones. Somehow this 140mm 3-pack is $5 cheaper https://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Connection-Reversable-Controller-CL-F144-PL14SW/dp/B0BWHJ1BH1?
dense locust
my fans may be cheap but at least they look cool;

$150

okay try that again without putting my location on blast
dense locust
are they at least good fans?
fresh timber
It’s cheaper to buy 3
fresh timber

Good enough
Any reasonable person won’t tell
If your mind maxing no not good

weird I don't see AVX512 instruction set on this 12900K
I'm pretty sure it had it lol
haven't benchmarked this thing in awhile tho
