[idle nexus]

I finally posted the 10700KF build to jawa. tbh this picture is probably the best selling point

now to see how much the CPU being delidded works against me lol

[lone mango]

How much are seller fees

[idle nexus]

or the awful Hyper212 air cooler

it's like 9% + 3% processing then another 1.25% to have shipping insurance (which you can opt out of)

yup... any minute now I'll get an offer for like $20 & a deck of cards or something stupid probably

[lone mango]

I think this is less than ebay

[lone mango]

Facebook marketplace

[idle nexus]

ya I think ebay is at least like 13% or something

I don't have Bitlocker enabled lol

nor do I have Windows Hello

so I cannot get Recall kek

[elfin mural]

i have bitlocker

windows keeps activating it for me

i hate it

[devout forum]

huh

so apparently a 4080 has enough TOPS for Recall

[elfin mural]

what does recall even do

is it related to like

data recovery?

oh it's like windows 10's timeline

[devout forum]

but AI powered and records literally everything you do

Allegedly locally, but like this is Microsoft

[elfin mural]

lol

[worthy meteor]

It keeps captures of your screen and uses AI to search through your recorded screen captures to find things

[elfin mural]

knowing ms

they will collect data

i ain't letting ms screenshot my screen, thank you

the feature sounds cool tho

[worthy meteor]

We already know Microsoft sends some of that data out, but they're claiming it's only anonymized telemetry iirc, and they claim that the actual captures are local only and encrypted iirc

[elfin mural]

claims

that's where i don't trust em

[worthy meteor]

I know they got called out for the captures not being actually encrypted at the start but idk what happened later

Hello @silk sonnet! It appears that you're asking for help. Please ask again in the appropriate category so you can get faster help from people specializing in that field. Your question may not be answered here.

[silk sonnet]

I have considered eBay but if you can stick to Newegg

Looking at the rx 6600 tho

Or the xt version

Or a b580

Anyone?

[crimson scroll]

@proud jackal i need some help please

[crimson scroll]

Google which ones more powerful

Rx 6600 vs b580

[acoustic palm]

What’s your current rig

[sinful blade]

Just bought a 5800x for $99

Sold a ps4 for $150, putting the rest in my tank

[acoustic palm]

… no

[royal crow]

?

[acoustic palm]

No

Get a used 3060 or 3060ti for ~200

[royal crow]

Guh

Look at this product I found on google.com https://g.co/kgs/q3JAiJ3

Hold on that's 300

[sinful blade]

@royal crow anything 3 digits besides an ARC card is outdated

Put this into account

[royal crow]

Yeah true

[silk sonnet]

What used gpu should I get for 200 on new egg

[versed marlin]

Best pc build under 1500? @sinful blade

[lone mango]

9600x has almost the same multicore perf but more single core perf

And is 185 right now

On newegg it is 208 and comes with a 500 gigabyte ssd

Also that ram is pretty brutal

https://a.co/d/7MUBY7L

[silk sonnet]

Yo somebody help me find a gpu

For 200 bucks on Newegg

[lone mango]

Why did you not get the 6700 xt

[crimson scroll]

@proud jackal

[lone mango]

Theo aint on dawg

[crimson scroll]

Silence

[silk sonnet]

Out of stock

[silk sonnet]

Any other ideas tho?

[sinful blade]

Meh.

[versed marlin]

Aw man

[sinful blade]

A770 should be around that

[sinful blade]

I’ll make you one

[versed marlin]

Ok

1500$

[silk sonnet]

I thought yall disliked inte gpus

[versed marlin]

Wait lemme tell you what I’ll be doing on it

[sinful blade]

No we like them

[versed marlin]

A bunch of games like Fortnite Roblox steam games and I’ll be running blender and Roblox studio

[sinful blade]

Okay

[versed marlin]

my setup is gonna be one vertical monitor one horizontal

[versed marlin]

If you can find me a whole setup you will helpme out a lot

[sinful blade]

That’s closer to $1600

Hmm

[silk sonnet]

Seems odd

[sinful blade]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kWLhZc
@versed marlin

Get the PSU from Corsair’s refurb store

[silk sonnet]

@sinful blade look at the screenshot above

[sinful blade]

I see it

Use this chart

[silk sonnet]

Why is the 6600 xt outperforming the a770 when it has 16 gb vram?

[sinful blade]

Not technical city

[versed marlin]

My dad said no refurb stuff

[sinful blade]

Then just get a 750w Corsair PSU for $90

[devout forum]

because the A770 is a slower card lol

[versed marlin]

Should I do850w

[devout forum]

VRAM is not everything

[sinful blade]

Technical city also doesn’t run good tests

[devout forum]

without the actual raw power, VRAM is kinda meaningless

[silk sonnet]

Hmm

[sinful blade]

You can
Whichever is cheaper

[silk sonnet]

6600 xt is better than a A770?

[sinful blade]

@silk sonnet you can usually find a decent 2080 or 2070 super at $200

[silk sonnet]

Not in Newegg I don’t think

[sinful blade]

Or an RX 7600

[devout forum]

Arguably the 6600XT is going to serve better

[silk sonnet]

@sinful blade Link a 2080 or 2070 super for 200 if there are any on Newegg

[sinful blade]

Just go with a 6600xt or 6600

There aren’t much on Newegg

[silk sonnet]

So that is my best option on Newegg for my budget in your opinion then?

[sinful blade]

Probably yeah

[silk sonnet]

Hmm

@sinful blade Check out my cart

[worn wave]

Bomb PSU pretty sure

[silk sonnet]

Yeah I was gonna change that

What do y’all recommend

[dense locust]

Is that cpu needed for a bundle?

https://a.co/d/0yzZzHH@

[crimson scroll]

As much as i love corsair stay away from them lol

[worn wave]

I believe this is pretty solid

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/x4hv6h/thermaltake-toughpower-gf1-2024-750-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-ps-tpd-0750fnfagu-p

[worn wave]

Also: $260 for a refurb 6600xt ain't great, and it's shipping from Hong Kong which is a little odd

[dense locust]

Tariffs will get you for that one

Will cost like $400+

[worn wave]

This would be a much better buy

https://www.ebay.com/itm/326562970771?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=R8HA7dkyTJa&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=bhgbrwakqvc&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

[worn wave]

HK isn't China so in theory the tarrifs should be way less

[dense locust]

It’s where the gpu was made not the shipping origin

[silk sonnet]

The tariffs are still the same

125%

Pretty sure

[worn wave]

Not for a refurb card

[dense locust]

https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/15/business/hong-kong-suspends-postal-service-to-us-intl-hnk

Seems it’s the same

[worn wave]

Darn

[dense locust]

Hong Kong is increasingly caught in the crossfire. Exports from Hong Kong are now subject to the same 145% tariff the Trump administration has slapped on imports from China

[worn wave]

Anyways, I'd just get that 2070 I sent. $165 is pretty good considering current market

[dense locust]

No spend almost twice as much for a +$50 msrp b580

[fresh timber]

chat should i spent $200 on a LCD aio for the reason of its pretty

[dense locust]

Not oled?

Smh

[worn wave]

Pretty sure thermalright has LCD options for way less than that

[fresh timber]

yeah but their not $200

[acoustic palm]

@fresh timber I made a smart financial decision

[fresh timber]

what u do

im not

[acoustic palm]

I got wallpaper engine

[fresh timber]

im blowing my money until i graduate smh

[worn wave]

Wants to buy a $200 aio and uses the wrong their, checks out

[fresh timber]

why does it matter

its a useless word

[dense locust]

That center art style reminds me of hauntii

[fresh timber]

@acoustic palm buy me this aio

[acoustic palm]

That’s quite possible the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen

[lone mango]

Is brotha tryna waste money

[acoustic palm]

Why the hell does it look like that

[dense locust]

That’s closer to $300 than $200

[lone mango]

Oh I see those on jawa

[fresh timber]

nv7 sucks with the forehead

you gotta fil that s pace

[acoustic palm]

Tall case

Tf

That looks like it has a big ass forehead

[fresh timber]

its my cases bigger brother

[acoustic palm]

Still a big forehead on the bigger brother

[lone mango]

Thats not bad

[fresh timber]

quok

i afked this roblox game all night

for 45bil

[lone mango]

But the gpu is right up on the glass basically

[silk sonnet]

Yep can’t get the 6600 xt because of tariffs

[lone mango]

They should have made it a little bit wider

[fresh timber]

it still fits

[silk sonnet]

Any other cards tho?

[fresh timber]

wot

6600xt should be avalible

wait no

they dont make them

thats why

[lone mango]

Get used

[silk sonnet]

Too expensive because of tariffs

[fresh timber]

no

its because they dont make them

[lone mango]

Because the market is brutal rn

[fresh timber]

they are 2 gens old, why would they make them

[lone mango]

Also true

[silk sonnet]

Is that my only option then?

[dense locust]

https://www.newegg.com/odyssey-arc-b580-12gb-gddr6/p/N82E16814987001

Spend $100 more ez

[dense locust]

[fresh timber]

spend $50 less

[silk sonnet]

Ok question: B580 for 299 or 6600 xt for 269?

[fresh timber]

b580 cause i like it more

[silk sonnet]

Heard it is a slower card

[fresh timber]

its faster

[dusk knot]

Hm

[silk sonnet]

Or B580 for that matter

[dense locust]

You chose the wrong card

A770 is last gen intel

[silk sonnet]

Wrong screenshot but still

[dense locust]

The extra vram makes the 6600xt perform worse

[silk sonnet]

Alright

I thought yall disliked intel in general but

I’ll take 12 gb vram

Oh btw what cheap cooler for my 9600x?

[dense locust]

People like their gpus

[silk sonnet]

Perhaps?

This

[fresh timber]

i like intel cpus

very good

hot take, id rather go intel for lower end and am5 for higher end

[lone mango]

These guys are tripping

[fresh timber]

should i do a straming test on the 7700xt

[lone mango]

Wont go well because their avc encoding is not that good

Unless you increase bitrate more

[fresh timber]

😦

i stream twitch 8000kbps 720p

[lone mango]

Pretty high for 720p. Shouldnt be too bad

[fresh timber]

thats what they recomended on the obs server

[lone mango]

Why not use quicksync

[lone mango]

Forgor

again

[sinful blade]

Yeah, they suck

@silk sonnet don’t use technical city for comparisons

[lone mango]

Maybe it was a day one comparison

[crimson scroll]

Wym i lovr intel intel the best dont listen to these idiots here

[fresh timber]

Why does amd suck at streaming

[lone mango]

If true, they should redo it

[crimson scroll]

Ive tried to tell ppl but got harrassed

Nvidia is best for streaming

[fresh timber]

It’s a fact

[lone mango]

Would be nice if streaming platforms allowed av1 or hevc

[fresh timber]

I think a arc gpu is better

[crimson scroll]

Wh

[fresh timber]

YouTube does

[crimson scroll]

Eh

They look cool but idk if id ever buy one

[fresh timber]

Arc encoders are cracked

[crimson scroll]

Ifk what those r

[fresh timber]

Just not the fastest at gaming

[crimson scroll]

I just ise my pc for pirating movies and games

[fresh timber]

And they have problems still, ltt and a video, arc has problems streaming and gaming

[dense locust]

Probably technical city just does benchmarks anyways

[lone mango]

Besides avc all 3 are pretty close to each other

[crimson scroll]

My motherboard killed itself while i was asleep

Gonna have to buy a usb to m.2 smh

[dense locust]

[crimson scroll]

Especially asus prime and ROG

And tuf

[lone mango]

Gigabyte and asrock my beloved

[crimson scroll]

Basically them all

Asrock is or was owned and created by asus

But asrock beat asus in 2009

So

They split

[silk sonnet]

Can someone ensure I have everything to build a pc?

[crimson scroll]

No

You don’t

Pick up a case

[lone mango]

Get the teamgroup t-create cl30 ram

[silk sonnet]

I know

Excluding the case

[lone mango]

cl30 6000

[silk sonnet]

Sorry

Forgot to say that

[crimson scroll]

Do you have one already?

[silk sonnet]

I’ll be buying a case elsewhere

[crimson scroll]

Amazon has one for 30$

USD

[lone mango]

Oh the corsair ram is bundled

[crimson scroll]

idk how much it is in indian

[silk sonnet]

No I live in the us

[crimson scroll]

It would probably be like 300$ in india 😂

Oh wow

[silk sonnet]

I’ll be planning to use this in India

I’ll be buying stuff here

[crimson scroll]

Dont.

[lone mango]

Wait hold on

[crimson scroll]

Please dont

[silk sonnet]

Stuff like that stays getting stolen

[crimson scroll]

Not racist

[lone mango]

That 9600x + mobo combo went up in price, from 344 to 413

[dense locust]

Just buy cpu from Amazon and save $25 instead of $20

[silk sonnet]

Bundle

Anyways

Do I have everything other than the case and windows?

[dense locust]

The bundle seems to only save you $20

[crimson scroll]

Where are you in the us rn

[crimson scroll]

Dont buy windows

You can get it for free

[silk sonnet]

I get ram and ssd for free

[silk sonnet]

Ok

So do I have everything?

[dense locust]

Hmm ok fine

[crimson scroll]

Yes basically

[lone mango]

Not really, its almost the same price

[crimson scroll]

How much would it all weigh?

I dont think your allowed to bringe ATX pcs on planes

Atleast from what ive seen happen

[silk sonnet]

Well I don’t got a case so

[crimson scroll]

True

[dense locust]

Open bench pc let’s go

[silk sonnet]

So should I get this pc?

Solid overall?

[crimson scroll]

If u want it yes

[fresh timber]

i wanna spend $100 on a nvme i dont need

[crimson scroll]

I guess idk

[dense locust]

What do you have currently

[crimson scroll]

Ima get a new cpu and pray thay it brings my mobo back to life

[fresh timber]

\damn the idk if passmark is good for gpus, it says a gpu clearly faster than mines is slower

[silk sonnet]

Integrated ahh graphics laptop

[dense locust]

Then yes it will be better

[lone mango]

Their cpu comparisons are good but gpu is clearly not

[fresh timber]

yeah

they need to change it

[dense locust]

This falls apart with any game that requires more than 8gb of vram

[frigid stag]

They’re not worth playing most of the time

[fresh timber]

i tested 8gb vram on my 8gb card, it is NOT enough

[dusk knot]

Bored….

[fresh timber]

whats not wroth to you is worth to others goose

[dense locust]

Buy a switch 2

[fresh timber]

who woulkd buy such ewaste

[frigid stag]

Don’t get me wrong I play a wide variety of games

[lone mango]

I guess 8 gig cards he talking about

[frigid stag]

Most don’t use more than 8gb

Unless I choose to run 4k

[lone mango]

None of my games use 8 at 1440p

[frigid stag]

Same it’s usually below

[crimson scroll]

Anyone here want to buy a rtx 4090 coolint assembly? My motherboard killed itself need 100$ to buy a new one

[dense locust]

Depends on the game

Some games take a hit even at 1080p

[lone mango]

Yeah if you get an 8 gig card stay away from aaa games made in the past couple years

[fresh timber]

im ngl

[frigid stag]

They run for me 🤷‍♀️

[fresh timber]

my rx6600 can be vram limted sometimes

theirs a few games that it can run 1440p just fine, but the vram being maxed out makes it so it cant

[lone mango]

But if you play good games, then 8 gig is still ok

[fresh timber]

ggood games are subjective

ugh i need some

[dense locust]

Nvidia and amd have kept 8gb for midrange far too long

[frigid stag]

It was over 4 years ago xD

[silk sonnet]

Is there any way to share my cart my someone on Newegg rather than individually sharing the links of components?

[fresh timber]

a screenshot

[lone mango]

Sapphire made a 290 that had 8

390 also had 8

Rx 570 has 8 too I think

Not sure about 470

[frigid stag]

Same thing

[lone mango]

Amd made 8 midrange a while ago

At this point its just being stubborn

[lone mango]

What's the next increase? 10? Well some games ask for like 9

[fresh timber]

watcvh me find my extentions right now

im canceling if i do

[lone mango]

Then after a little bit, 10 will become too little and they gotta increase it again. No headroom

The cards back then had headroom

[frigid stag]

They had 6 or 8gb

[fresh timber]

arc a310 is a 4gb card

the a310 cant even use its 4gb

[frigid stag]

It’s just software wasn’t as bloated

People knew how to make good software

[fresh timber]

60 class gpus should be 10gb, 60ti should be 12

50 class can be 8gb idc

[frigid stag]

Especially in the 2000s

[lone mango]

Right, but games always get more demanding regardless of how well they made it

[fresh timber]

nature of gam developemnt

theirs probably alot under the hood that make these games more demanding that we dont see

[lone mango]

Its just getting way more demanding as of recent because of slop

[fresh timber]

ehh

[frigid stag]

“Muh graphics quality”> fps is the reasoning behind it probably

[fresh timber]

slop once again is an opinion

u may hate something another person loves

[lone mango]

Those who watch threat interactive:

[frigid stag]

“Upgrade your 4 year old gpu”

the 4 year old gpu in question staying on par with 5070

[fresh timber]

which 4 year old gpu

[frigid stag]

Idk 3080, 3090

Something like that

[fresh timber]

ehh those are higher classes tho

[lone mango]

Which still may be slop

[fresh timber]

how

[frigid stag]

6800xt too I guess

[lone mango]

Lots of people love slop which is why it keeps coming out

[fresh timber]

call this pea k slop, you wont

[frigid stag]

He probably means stuff like assassins creed shadows

[lone mango]

That game is up there with it when it comes to performance

[fresh timber]

thats why im getting a 9070xt/9070

i can run anything and not care

[lone mango]

I wonder what cdpr can pull off with the new witcher, what the hardware requirements will be

If the trailer had an unreleased nvidia card rendering it (5090) then it wont be good

[frigid stag]

I wouldn’t wait for that one considering what the devs of that game say

[lone mango]

Probably need a 5080 for something playable

[nocturne flicker]

Need 5090ti for 60fps with DLSS performance

[lone mango]

Never underestimate them

[nocturne flicker]

Gonna bring back Titan class just for 60fps in AAA games

[fresh timber]

im about to setup my pc to have all the fans run 0rpm

[lone mango]

Watch the requirements include frame gen

[lone mango]

It is starting to get pretty tiresome

[fresh timber]

when framegen has no latency ill use it

[lone mango]

They dont care, they will keep ruining performance and you will eventually turn it on

[nocturne flicker]

You are going to have high latency and artifacting and you are going to like it

[misty sparrow]

I can’t believe AAA devs are experiencing record profits and laying off employees, yet they’re still raising prices of games to $80

[lone mango]

And making them run worse too

[lone mango]

Not me

Newest game I bought was 2022

[frigid stag]

I don’t think they are

[lone mango]

And its a very optimized console game

[frigid stag]

Considering how many games were failing

[devout forum]

Y'know what just came to mind

If you take off the stupid fabric from the Fractal Mood
It becomes a pretty good case

Would you be able to just
Replace that fabric with a fine metal mesh?

[lone mango]

Yeah you can buy mesh and do it yourself

Jay made a video on different kinds of mesh

[fresh timber]

i want somebody to make a dispplay mod for thte nv5

[devout forum]

That'd kind of fox the case right?

[fresh timber]

replace the front glass with a lcd

[devout forum]

Like then cooling wouldn't suck

[crimson scroll]

@rancid juniper i checked the pins and the cpu looks perfectly fine I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY THE NVME SLOTS KEEP DYING

[devout forum]

Cuz otherwise the case IS nice

[crimson scroll]

THEY WILL DIE ONE WEEK AND THE NEXT WEEK ARE BACK TO LIFE

[lone mango]

True

[crimson scroll]

The sata ports work perfectly fine but i cant copy my nvme to ssd bc nvme slots dont work 😞

[devout forum]

Just then you lose any and all warranty on the case

[crimson scroll]

How do i downgrade a bios

This has been happening since i updated the bios

[frigid stag]

Maybe some sata ports block nvme’s

My board used to do that

[crimson scroll]

I tried with everytbing u plogged

Unplugged

[lone mango]

Do cases really need warranty tho

[crimson scroll]

Buos settings back to normal and everything

[lone mango]

Its just metal

[sinful blade]

Just get a new board at this point

[devout forum]

Try consulting your manual @crimson scroll
You might have some sort of conflict

[crimson scroll]

No money man!!!

[frigid stag]

There’s bios versions online

[devout forum]

Or ye just replace it

[crimson scroll]

I dont understand

Why does it do this

[devout forum]

Fans can fail (tho that's an easy fix)

[frigid stag]

Weren’t you buying 3 broken 4090s

[fresh timber]

trash motherboards cant run all the nvme and sata at the same time

[crimson scroll]

Let me try unplugging literally everythint

[crimson scroll]

Nothing is plugged in

Just nvme

Asus prime z270-ar

[lone mango]

Oh I did not know it came with fans

[crimson scroll]

Its a cheap motherboard on ebay

[lone mango]

[fresh timber]

bro just get a new pc

[devout forum]

But yes

It's def an option

[fresh timber]

seriosuly just go am4 or something, even a 2600 is a upgrade

[devout forum]

Hell you can probably use like

Less restrictive fabric

[frigid stag]

Nah skylake is better than early am4

[devout forum]

Like pantyhose material

[frigid stag]

Kaby lake not skylake*

[devout forum]

It'd look kinda like a night worker's nightstand but oh well

[fresh timber]

put a 5800x3d in ur early am4 build

[worthy meteor]

Read the manual, sata slot 5 and 6 share lanes with the second m.2 slot, first m.2 slot shares lanes with sata slot 1

[frigid stag]

I can put a 9900ks in a z170

[devout forum]

NGL the 5800X3D is starting to reach EoL

[frigid stag]

🗿

[worthy meteor]

Lots of weird quirks on old boards where lane sharing is common

[devout forum]

It's still good for most cases
But it is starting to occasionally be a limitation

[frigid stag]

I mean officially it is since they stopped making them

But they still sell for over 300 on ebay

[crimson scroll]

Guys shes dead

[devout forum]

At this point I'd not recommend AM4 for a new build

[lone mango]

I thought of getting a 5700x3d but I think I would upgrade sooner if I got that

[crimson scroll]

I tried with nothing plugged in other than nvme

Dead

[devout forum]

Unless you like
Get the upgrade got like SUPER cheap with a B550 board and a 5700X3D (probably used for both)

[lone mango]

So I went am5 instead, if I will go there eventually anyway

Might as well fork up the cash now

[fresh timber]

ill go 14700k before i go am5

[devout forum]

But yeah AM4 is no longer feasible to recommend for new builds

[fresh timber]

detabable

[frigid stag]

I’ll probably never go am5

[devout forum]

Has the same problem as AM4

Except it's also still just expensive lol

[fresh timber]

3600+b450 is a combo u will never beat

[crimson scroll]

GIYS

GUYS

YOU WONT BELIEVE IT

[devout forum]

7500F and B650 does

[crimson scroll]

I CHANGED THE RAM AND IT WORKS

WTF

[fresh timber]

higher price

[crimson scroll]

ATLEAST THE BOTTOM NVME DOES

[frigid stag]

9600k+ z390 🗿

[crimson scroll]

WHAT THE HELL

SHUT UP

[fresh timber]

[frigid stag]

Need

[fresh timber]

fr

[frigid stag]

I saw a 13900ks of like 350 a while ago

[devout forum]

But you also have an upgrade path that doesn't literally immolate itself if you didn't bios update before booting

[fresh timber]

ironicly they beat the new core ultra

[devout forum]

AM5 is absolutely effing goated

[fresh timber]

cool. fortuntly im on the latest bios so idc

[frigid stag]

It was so cheap I thought they were scamming

[devout forum]

I mean
Cool?

You're still getting walloped by the X3D chips

[frigid stag]

I have experience getting scammed with a 13900K

Got my money back at least

[fresh timber]

then i woop them in anything that doesnt use x3d

[devout forum]

Like Intel is legit in trouble because their current offering is laughably overpriced for what it does

[devout forum]

9950X3D says otherwise

[fresh timber]

that also.. cost alot more

like double

[devout forum]

The 14700K is priced comparable lol

[frigid stag]

It’s not

It’s 300 vs 800

[devout forum]

With the Z chipset boards you need to actually use it

[frigid stag]

120 for z790

[devout forum]

You're not even saving money

[fresh timber]

z chipsets are cheap

i got mine for like $180 and thats over spending

[devout forum]

I can just slot a 9950X3D into a B650 board and have absolutely no downsides

[fresh timber]

i can get a 13900k and z690 no downsides

[crimson scroll]

It died again

[devout forum]

Only in US tbf

[crimson scroll]

Im sick of this dude

[fresh timber]

cool, im in us

[devout forum]

Cool, nobody asked

US is literally protected market for any tech company

[fresh timber]

cool

[devout forum]

So you don't wanna judge value off of it

[fresh timber]

just because ur market sucks, doesnt mean mines does

[devout forum]

I mean

The product does lol

[fresh timber]

debatable

for the price i think lga1700 is nice

i enjoy my lga1700 platform after i upgraded my ram

[devout forum]

A 7700 with PBO matches a 14700K in games

For less money lmao

[frigid stag]

Lol no

[fresh timber]

now do something els

[devout forum]

Fanboying hard I see

[fresh timber]

do something that can really use the cores

[devout forum]

Yeah thing is
What would that be?

If you do workloads that need more cores

[frigid stag]

It gets gapped by a 12 gen cpu

[fresh timber]

video editing, cpu transcoding, .. Dont forget quick sync

[devout forum]

You can afford a 7950X (cheaper than a 14700k used)

[paper verge]

wassup lads tryna get some steam keys yall know any good websites?

[fresh timber]

???

[devout forum]

Video editing is GPU, CPU transcode is superseded, Quick sync is superseded

So like

[fresh timber]

not all video editing is GPU btw

[devout forum]

Ur just wrong lmfaoooo

[frigid stag]

This looks like a trick question

[fresh timber]

no im not

[devout forum]

Enjoy being wrong

Idgaf

[fresh timber]

look at like davincie resolve, the free verson barley uses the GPU

[frigid stag]

Video editing with what?

Premiere?

[paper verge]

wym

[devout forum]

Yeah okay, who asked what Resolve uses?

[fresh timber]

idk much about premiere. thats why i said not all video editing is gpu

[frigid stag]

I don’t think I’m allowed to say

[fresh timber]

because its not all gpu

[devout forum]

I can just look at the benchmarks and tell you you're wrong

[paper verge]

could u dm me?

[frigid stag]

Aight

[paper verge]

im like 100% sure someone named a few good ones yesterday but wtv

[fresh timber]

also a 14700k cost less than a 7950x new, your wrong again

[paper verge]

i cant find it with discords crap search feature tho

[frigid stag]

Well the official ones are humble bundle and fanatical

I can say those

[paper verge]

im just looking for the cheapest keys lol

[elfin mural]

I can't tell you about third party sites here either

[frigid stag]

S 💿 🔑

Humble bundle and fanatical are official resellers

So u can talk about them but the rest, I don’t even know a lot of them

[paper verge]

does the S actually come in the name or no?

[fresh timber]

I ALMOST DIED

[frigid stag]

Yes

[paper verge]

oh i found the website

thanks bro

[fresh timber]

I RAN OUT OF THERMAL PROTECTION

[paper verge]

u a real one

[frigid stag]

Np

[elfin mural]

my cpu is running toasty at 93c in gaming

i need to clean my laptop up soon

[frigid stag]

Just use paypal or something that u won’t get scammed with

[paper verge]

aight gotcha

[fresh timber]

i use cashapp card

just change the card number and disbute

[cedar compass]

I still gaming with 13600k

[fresh timber]

so am i, whats the problem with it

[cedar compass]

too lazy to switch to new gen

[fresh timber]

40c while gaming

[frigid stag]

It’s legit 99% of the time

Wtf is he doing that I’m not

[cedar compass]

in some games I feel FPS drop at sattlements

[frigid stag]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/877761626172952576/1367935865942310952/IMG_6428.png?ex=6817b68d&is=6816650d&hm=74b30350554677a5d093040bbfba03c797f70f4544677d38d8736b7432c44a72&

[fresh timber]

how...

ur 13600k sounds defective

[frigid stag]

20ns...

[cedar compass]

probably because game devs sux lol

[frigid stag]

Might be the degradation

[paper verge]

cuz game HQ sucks

[cedar compass]

I getting 90-100fps at Stalker 2 but when i get into sattlements with people my fps dropping to 60-70 lmao

[devout forum]

I can get 7950Xs cheaper than a 14700K lmao

[fresh timber]

where 🤔

[devout forum]

New prices are meaningless because 13/14th gen is overpriced new

[fresh timber]

ok

[frigid stag]

Different market

[fresh timber]

they are faster than core ultra

[frigid stag]

It be like that

[fresh timber]

good enough for me

[cedar compass]

not for working tho . maybe in gaming

[frigid stag]

Man there is this guy offering me 140 for a new 127KF. It’s too cheap to refuse

[devout forum]

Intel keeps pricing their stuff as if they still had their monopoly position from the 9000 era

[cedar compass]

I switched from 14900k to ultra 9 and render time is roughtly 10% lower on core ultra

[devout forum]

That's why Core Ultra flopped so hard
Middling performance for outrageous monopolistic prices

Like don't get me wrong Core Ultra is SUPER rad

[frigid stag]

Well ye they tried to copy amd’s chiplet thing

[devout forum]

But like the price is actually stupid

[frigid stag]

It didn’t work out if you’re actually using it for gaming

Otherwise they’re decent

[cedar compass]

yeah they killed hyperthreading as well

[devout forum]

Another huge own goal was forcing a new socket and new motherboards

[fresh timber]

give me a 9070xt and 14700k and ill do anything

[devout forum]

Which are ALSO incredibly overpricef

[cedar compass]

but 285k is good Overclocker

[devout forum]

So it's just

Hilariously bad value

[frigid stag]

Next generation CPU’s are on a new board too XD

[devout forum]

And it doesn't even give you like amazing uplifts in many situations to justify the very high prices

[frigid stag]

Core ultra owners are btfo’d

[cedar compass]

I think we will have refresh gen inbetween atleast

[devout forum]

Again
That's a holdover from the Intel monopoly era

[frigid stag]

Ironically lga1700 is getting another generation

Supposedly Bartlett lake

[devout forum]

Because back then they could just
Force that and people would do it anyway

[frigid stag]

Theyve never done 1 cpu generation sockets

[devout forum]

But now AM5 is highly competitive (often faster) AND has a platform promise

[frigid stag]

Usually it was always 2

They probably saw how it wasn’t selling well

[nocturne flicker]

It is 2 gens and then a new board socket iirc

[cedar compass]

they will release new socket at 2026 . this year we will have refresh gen cpu with same socket

[frigid stag]

Bartlett lake lga1700. 4 generation socket

[fresh timber]

ill go am5 when im tired of my dead argb controller, and i cant get the performanc i desire from another lga1700 cpu 👅

[frigid stag]

Meanwhile core ultra may or may not get 2

[nocturne flicker]

The current socket is getting a refresh gen this year

[frigid stag]

I doubt it

[nocturne flicker]

So it'll have 2

[cedar compass]

yeah new socket scheduled for 2026

[fresh timber]

ima see if i can make it so all my case fans run 0rpm until they need to spin

[lone mango]

Yeah

[cedar compass]

ultra series had potential but idk it's intel moment lol

[lone mango]

Go off of gpu temperature in fancontrol

[fresh timber]

armory crate can do that

[lone mango]

Although having them at like 25% is probably better

[fresh timber]

i just turned my intake fans off

[lone mango]

I think it would be better for the fans to be always spinning rather than turning on and off constantly

[rancid juniper]

Even if the pins on both CPU and socket are fine it may still have trouble communicating with the nvme slots

But you mentioned it kept happening after the bios update...

[lone mango]

Mr1111 said some sata ports share lanes with m.2

Its in the manual apparently

[rancid juniper]

Interesting...

So all he gotta do is shut down sata communication

[crimson scroll]

Dude

Do yall not listen?

I sais ovwr and over nothing else is plugged in

JJST NVME

i changed the ram and it worked

[rancid juniper]

I mean I'm busy overclocking my chip

[crimson scroll]

But when i booted it up

Whabaam

Shes out again

[crimson scroll]

Is it possible to go back on a bios

[crimson scroll]

Its missing a capacitor tho

But i think its normal

Its rifht next to ram slots

Ima look at videos of this mobo later

[rancid juniper]

Yes

[crimson scroll]

Sweet

Ima try to find the original bios

[rancid juniper]

Make sure the original BIOS is new enough to support your CPU

[crimson scroll]

If i brick the motherboard will you pay for a replacement? 🤔

[rancid juniper]

Lol no

[crimson scroll]

Darn ima js leave it how it is

[rancid juniper]

All the warnings are there

[crimson scroll]

ALTHOUGH

This motberboard

Was used by a crypto queen

And was used a test bench for hundreds of gpus and ssds

So

Maybe thats it

[rancid juniper]

Really put the used in "used"

[crimson scroll]

For real

More like molested

[rancid juniper]

[crimson scroll]

Those slots are probably pregnant

Its also DUSTYYY AFFF

Thats why i said gooch lol

@rancid juniper when i take a nvme out i and reboot i get a alert “new m.2 detected”

But i go to set up and its not there

THIS

I TRIED TO CHANGE THE NVME SWTTINGS IN BIOS AND IT FAILED NOW IN A BOOT LOOP

it’s definitely the motherboard then

Theres one thing i didnt dp yet and thats take out cmos battery

Ima try that

Do i leave the pc off or on?

It didnt eork

Has 7800xt pricing gone down yet?

[opaque sedge]

Oof looks like the stock sure went down

[tranquil pebble]

Just got my first GeForce card that can game. RTX 4060M in a laptop. The laptop runs but needs to be cleaned due to having cola spilled on it. Total paid for the laptop ended up being $189 so far.

Tensor cores here I come lol

[kind verge]

so youre telling me that a 3080 cant run rt ultra on cyberpunk

IN 1080P?

not even pt wth

[tranquil pebble]

idk but a 6900 XT can manage that

[kind verge]

i mean like getting 60+ fps

[tranquil pebble]

I know from experience

[tranquil pebble]

id expect it to run ok

might not always be 60+ without dlss though

[kind verge]

i was looking for a used gpu to play 1080p with ray tracing and 60+ fps without upscaling since it looks trash in 1080p but man looks like i cant escape form upscalers😭

i have a 6650xt rn and i wanted to upgrade, i even alr found a dude to sell my old gpu

i think imma grab a used 3080 on ebay

[opaque sedge]

I mean if u go to an even higher performance card for good raytracing performance in 1080p u would most likely encounter another issue bottlenecks

Most card i dont think can get good performance in ray tracing yet i think

[tranquil pebble]

depends on the game, and RT level

[opaque sedge]

I haven’t tried out ray tracing much tho

[kind verge]

im gonna get a 5700x3d soon so i dont think its gonna be a problem

[tranquil pebble]

iGPUs can get good RT performance in Persona 3 Reload lol

[opaque sedge]

A steam deck can run persona 3 reload well not sure abt ray tracing tho

[dusk knot]

Hmm

[tranquil pebble]

RT is when dynamic reflections are enabled in Reload

stuff like the mirrors

it isnt heavy RT by any means

[kind verge]

i saw a benchmark rn and a 6600 can run it on 1440p max rt 120fps cap on 60% usage xd

[tranquil pebble]

P3R is not hard on GPU lol

[silk sonnet]

I’m gonna ask this just another time to ensure. Do I have everything I need to build a pc: I’m getting a cpu, gpu, mobo, ram, ssd, thermal paste, cpu cooler and psu. Do I need anything other than the case and windows?

[opaque sedge]

Just watched a vid and looks like a locked 60 is possible on the deck unlike metaphor…

[tranquil pebble]

Most of the meshes in Persona games are pretty low poly

[crimson scroll]

This has to be cpu error right? It detects my ssds but they dont show up ive done literally absolutely everything

[tranquil pebble]

The game uses stylized art/graphics to compensate

[kind verge]

should be all

[opaque sedge]

Huh looks like it maxes out in some instances

[opaque sedge]

And kickass stories

[tranquil pebble]

the way they hide the low poly is quite clever too tbh

good game design moment

[opaque sedge]

Wonder why they compensate so much couldn’t they invest more in tech given how well their games do?

Or maybe they’re not fixing anything thats not broken

[tranquil pebble]

Well... the current strategy means the games can run on potatoes

[opaque sedge]

Ohhhh and that means more people get it

[chrome surge]

What’s the best gaming cpu with a 3060?

[tranquil pebble]

also means easier to put on Nintendo

[tranquil pebble]

What resolution and what games?

[opaque sedge]

Oh crap so the atlus folks are genius capitalists

[balmy solstice]

🤔

[tranquil pebble]

What they are doing is how game design SHOULD work IMO

[chrome surge]

I’d like 1440p if possible, 1080 is fine tho, smaller games but also big titles like Siege, gta, Destiny, marvel rivals

[opaque sedge]

Isnt atlus also notorious for trying to milk more money thru dlc cosmetics and stuff?

Btw is it altus or atlus

[tranquil pebble]

Atlus is the name and they do milk but not through tons of DLCs

[balmy solstice]

need a reverse dlss so it can run from potatoes to dirt

[tranquil pebble]

they tend to make lots of spin-offs

and/or remakes

[opaque sedge]

Oh crap i forgot i came to the bathroom with monster hunter wilds running on my pc hope it didn’t catch fire

[tranquil pebble]

Still far less awful than what I see going on in a lot of the industry

[opaque sedge]

I mean if its good stuff who’s complaining amirite

[balmy solstice]

an arsonist and uses your phone on the toilet?

tsk

[tranquil pebble]

That game went down to 10 fps in parts on my 5700x3d and 6900xt

There is no excuse for that

[opaque sedge]

10 frames is crazy i experienced drops to 40 on quality upscaling on my 7800x3d and 4070super 😭

[tranquil pebble]

I was not using any scaling but also was running 1080p

[opaque sedge]

I was fighting arkveld in the plains and had to turn up upscaling to performance mid fight due to frame drops

[balmy solstice]

10 frames on 1080 is wild

lives up to its name ig

[tranquil pebble]

its inexcusable is what it is

not as bad as Cities Skylines 2 on launch at least though

[opaque sedge]

The frame drops i was experiencing in an unoptimized game with a real time weather change system during a flashy fight… jesus

[tranquil pebble]

People need to stop accepting unoptimized slop from AAA. Especially at AAA prices.

[opaque sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-sweating-key-and-peele-gif-13836847

[tranquil pebble]

I am serious. We would not be seeing this if unoptimized games killed profits.

Which game

monster hunter wild demo

it was not very long for that dip but still

averaging like 90 FPS then going down to 10 is whack
