[frigid stag]

People get really sus’d out when they see mixed ram kits for some reason

[hoary zodiac]

I think we have a winner here

[frigid stag]

If that board got the bios update yea

[hoary zodiac]

meanwhile the 1000 corsair vengeance listings on the internet

[frigid stag]

[hoary zodiac]

I swear like 90% of listings have vengeance

who keeps buying this crap

[frigid stag]

It’s one of the cheaper ones

Probably that’s why

[potent dune]

which is the onyx?

[hoary zodiac]

[frigid stag]

This mf 💀

[hoary zodiac]

PC + ram kit = 502.51 pounds

[frigid stag]

“Low latency bdie” my ass

[hoary zodiac]

where is this

is this on some reddit post

[frigid stag]

Some random listing

[hoary zodiac]

oh

ultra low latency
cl16

[frigid stag]

It could be some low end bdie bin but even that’s unlikely

[hoary zodiac]

that's the most average ram I've seen

[frigid stag]

He probably thinks it’s bdie cuz it’s royals rgb

[hoary zodiac]

bdiez nuts

[frigid stag]

💀

[hoary zodiac]

I hate sellers sometimes

they're either malicious scammers or lacking in any brain cells

[potent dune]

so a used one, im gonna need to hope it's working😞

[hoary zodiac]

well it's 500 pounds after you upgrade the ram so

it's the cheapest

[frigid stag]

Ye like this one guy I tried to buy from. Lists the item at 45 bucks
I sent an offer of 40 and it gets auto rejected

[hoary zodiac]

no matter what

wait

[frigid stag]

Why even turn on offers at that point

[hoary zodiac]

oh it's in ireland

shipping might be annoying to arrange

might bump up the price

sigh

[frigid stag]

Usually stuff like cases and whole pcs are collection only

Or really expensive shipping

[hoary zodiac]

guess the orion is the frontrunner thne

[elfin mural]

shipping is gonna be absurd

[hoary zodiac]

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/226717606894

[potent dune]

19.55 delivery on the used onyx

[frigid stag]

Tbh case is kind of overrated

[hoary zodiac]

read description

[tranquil pebble]

or brainless scammers

[frigid stag]

Open air is good enough for me

[hoary zodiac]

I'm so sick of seeing skylake

after the last 2 hours of looking at rtx 4060ti - i7 6th gen

not a single kaby lake either

[potent dune]

ah I see

[hoary zodiac]

these sellers are mad

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/226717606894

[frigid stag]

If you think about it intel also had a large upgrade path like ryzen

[hoary zodiac]

anyways this is the frontrunner

reposted it for convenience

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/v3FKHx/patriot-viper-steel-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr4-3200-cl16-memory-pvs432g320c6k
also ram upgrade if you choose

[tranquil pebble]

ebay is full of rip offs tbh

[frigid stag]

It just got blocked out and you had to tinker with it to make it happen

But you can run a 9th gen on z170

[hoary zodiac]

intel is intel

[fresh timber]

Intel is better

[potent dune]

hmm okay okay, I'll try to keep looking aswell for a new one but they come out a lot more expensive

[frigid stag]

Need to sell motherboards

[hoary zodiac]

they were treating 2022 like 2015

[fresh timber]

https://tenor.com/view/penguins-of-madagascar-rico-dancing-dance-dance-moves-gif-22963077

[frigid stag]

It wasn’t that though, they had pretty weak vrms on some boards

[fresh timber]

Peak Intel 🏔️

[frigid stag]

2022 CPU’s were 13 gen

[hoary zodiac]

that's also true for ryzen too tbh

[tacit geode]

https://tenor.com/view/salute-point-smile-you-gif-16262743

[hoary zodiac]

b350 and half of b450 were dogwater

[frigid stag]

Ye they didn’t get bios updates till 2 years after zen 3

At least b350

[hoary zodiac]

not even that

vrms were hit or miss on b450

low end b450 ranges from good to aboslute trash

at least if you wanted to run a 5700X or something on it

[frigid stag]

X boards are nice

Idk why some people hate on them

[hoary zodiac]

I mean

X boards a nice

If only X370 lasted longer

unfortunate

[elfin mural]

x boards are nice, but they usually run 200+ bucks

tho for amd that would make some sense

[hoary zodiac]

yeah

[potent dune]

im gonna pretend I understand all this, should I settle for the onyx or should I try find a new one to be safe like performance and durability wise

[hoary zodiac]

nowadays X doesn't even make sense

not even for pcie lanes

[elfin mural]

new prebuilts only give you a 4060

if you're lucky, 4060ti

[frigid stag]

You do get extra features

[hoary zodiac]

I mean

it's more in the niche category

B boards do most of what X board used to do

in the X370-X470 era you could argue for pcie lanes

[elfin mural]

it's not like intel intentionally locking ocing from B boards

[hoary zodiac]

but nowadays

[frigid stag]

I mean I saw a lot of people buy x570s

[elfin mural]

so X series boards are nice to have, not a must

[frigid stag]

Even while using lower end CPU’s like 3600x’s

[elfin mural]

yeah, but they also barely use the features

[hoary zodiac]

nowdays with how many cpu lanes you get

X boards are kinda pointless

[elfin mural]

some buyers are less educated, and that's fair

[hoary zodiac]

on intel it makes sense

[elfin mural]

but they buy it because they feel it gives them a feeling of quality

i suppose

[frigid stag]

I guess if you’re future proofing it’s fine

[hoary zodiac]

hell Z boards are sometimes around the $150-200 price range

pretty sweet tbh

[hoary zodiac]

I mean in the tech market

that's not a thing

the only way you can future proof is to not overspend

[frigid stag]

It kind of is but it’s hard to do

[hoary zodiac]

you can't really predict future trends

that's the issue here

[frigid stag]

You need to know what’s going to be a trend

[potent dune]

I have no idea what any of this means😭 I'm still contemplating getting the picture 32gb 1tb one because it's also brand new and doesn't have to have shipping arranged etc.

[hoary zodiac]

exactly

[frigid stag]

Buying a 6800k instead of 7700k is a good example

[hoary zodiac]

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/226717606894

[frigid stag]

Of knowing that more cores would be more useful

[elfin mural]

i always thought more cores is beneficial

[hoary zodiac]

you seemed to have missed htis

[frigid stag]

Funny enough they cost almost the same

[elfin mural]

but ofc i factor in other aspects too

[hoary zodiac]

depends really

do you run a proxmox server

[elfin mural]

but i thought core count was important to an extent

[frigid stag]

Boards were just 170 instead of like 140

[hoary zodiac]

I mean it goes both ways

single thread performance isn't everything

and neither is having a crap load of cores

it really depends on use case

[elfin mural]

i mean i wasn't that stupid pft

my thought process is "good single core but more cores is better, up to 8"

cuz i never saw the point in over 8 cores

[hoary zodiac]

I mean that's a good rule of thumb

[elfin mural]

unless it's server workloads

[hoary zodiac]

8 core cpus generally still have good single thead perf

[potent dune]

still also used though, which is one of my biggest concerns

[hoary zodiac]

I mean

🤷‍♂️

[elfin mural]

8 real cores is still good nowadays

[hoary zodiac]

I like how we're talking real cores

[elfin mural]

but im starting to see 10 cores being beneficial

[hoary zodiac]

like it's bulldozer

[frigid stag]

It was kind of a weird move

[hoary zodiac]

I want 10 cores purely for proxmox server

[frigid stag]

To go from 10 to 8

[hoary zodiac]

although I'd prefer p cores

[elfin mural]

i'd imagine it's arch issues

[frigid stag]

At least they’re making 12 this year

[elfin mural]

12 p-cores

that's nice

[frigid stag]

No e cores too

[elfin mural]

i never really liked intel's e-cores stuff

[frigid stag]

Sacrifices had to be made I guess

[tranquil pebble]

my laptop is 6p + 4e

[potent dune]

.

[elfin mural]

cuz in reality programs and games hammer the first few cores

[frigid stag]

E cores on performs better but like 12 p cores might be faster

[elfin mural]

not the other lesser cores

[hoary zodiac]

that's really up to you to decide

if it's worth spending the extra money

[elfin mural]

the thing with buying a pc is

used is always better (to an extent)

but if you don't feel like taking a risk

new is a safe bet, but you do get less performance for your money

[potent dune]

I'd like to think it is just to be safe which is why I keep talking about the hp victus which I sent earlier

[hoary zodiac]

again

[frigid stag]

Every time I bought “used” the condition was better than brand new

[hoary zodiac]

not worth the 200 pound over the omen

[frigid stag]

Somehow always ended up being open box or practically brand new

Then there’s people that don’t even bother to clean up their stuff when selling it

[hoary zodiac]

the hell

skylake is so cheap

[frigid stag]

Like how does a gpu get scuffed so much when it’s supposed to be sitting in a pc the whole time

Some people sell gpus that look like they were used as footballs

[hoary zodiac]

why isn't coffee lake this cheap

[elfin mural]

i prefer open box or refurbs myself

[frigid stag]

Well it’s 3 gens newer

[elfin mural]

they often are literally pristine

[hoary zodiac]

I've been trying to hunt for cheap high core count and high single thread perf cpus for weeks

and also low power

[elfin mural]

even with new things, getting stuff DOA is a possibility

odds are low, but if you're unlucky

you end up wasting time

[frigid stag]

Xeons are nice but they’re not low power

[tranquil pebble]

there are all e core Xeons

[potent dune]

ah ill get the omen then

[frigid stag]

Wtf

[hoary zodiac]

the reason I'm looking at coffee lake is that

quad core is quite limiting for a proxmox + nas machine

[frigid stag]

I mean does it really need to be low power

[hoary zodiac]

xeons are loud

and form factor is a pain

I want to keep it SFF so

yes it has to be low power

[potent dune]

anything against this considering its new and I think it's a good pc judging by your opinion too

[pliant berry]

those optiplexes are so plentiful

[hoary zodiac]

so that leaves coffee lake as the only cheap option

[hoary zodiac]

the price

[frigid stag]

I mean ...

[hoary zodiac]

the xeons are also more than double the power consumption on average

so

[potent dune]

I mean yeah could be a little cheaper but it is within my budget

[frigid stag]

I like Itx boards

Not a fan of itx cases though

[hoary zodiac]

the thing with prebuilt sffs

they're just cheaper

comes with psu and everything in a nice form factor

[potent dune]

do you think I should get it? I'll try find the same one for cheaper elsewhere but if I can't find one, should i just get it,

[hoary zodiac]

I don't think you should get it but it's your money

you have to weigh it against the factors we've presented

and make your own conclusion

we could only provide information but at the end of the day it's your pc

so you have the final say

these skylakes are stupid cheap

I could do the funny thing

and have a host nas machine

and then buy a bunch of cheapos to run in a cluster

not very power efficient tho

does fit a 3.5 so

would make a nice nas

ah that's why it's so cheap

I suppose looking at single thread perf alone

skylake isn't all that bad

[royal crow]

tf is that goofy aah cooler bruh😭

[hoary zodiac]

Wtf

$2 cpu?

[frigid stag]

Is it a scam

[hoary zodiac]

Not sure if it's a discount or a scam

[pliant berry]

they prob just trying to get rid of them

[devout forum]

Engineering samples and like a decade old

That's almost a "pay shipping" giveaway

[craggy shoal]

Four of these in a Proxmox cluster would be powerful

[craggy shoal]

Wow I've never seen such a scam 💀

[tranquil pebble]

why are there so many of these Optiplex computers with no RAM or HDD on ebay?

[craggy shoal]

I actually just bought another Apple Watch after realizing that my Series 4 wasn't receiving updates anymore. My cybersecurity brain went "yeah time for a new watch"

[acoustic palm]

My teacher is dumber then me

[craggy shoal]

Most teachers are dumber than you

[acoustic palm]

No no no… you don’t understand

[craggy shoal]

What happened lol

[acoustic palm]

I even told her that “you put the wrong answer” and she said no

[opaque sedge]

Can confirm took a cs class this semester and the professor would just cram out notes in the class it was full of just terminology and no assignments were given to strengthen the terminology either and took a final exam today… and it was terminology again mostly…

Hopefully i pass cuz i want to switch majors

[sinful blade]

CPU came, and it’s only a 5800, not a 5800x

[brittle lynx]

on a ud z690 I moved the ram to another system to test, now that i put it back the mb shows a red cpu light, tested every possible thing I could think of but still not working.
anything I could have not thought of testing?

other than that I had only unplugged power cables

no heat coming from the cpu ihs either, tested cooler mount but after reinstalling it many times still no luck

[fresh timber]

What’s the difference

[brittle lynx]

when I say tested everything I mean I'm at the point where the mb is outside the case and only the essential is plugged in

[fresh timber]

Looks like it isn’t total poo

@sinful blade looks like a lower tdp 5800x

Same cache architecture and almost the same clock speed

[craggy shoal]

I just want 65W TDP with 32 cores

How hard is that

[fresh timber]

32 weak cores designed for ultimate power efficiency low performance

[craggy shoal]

Yeah exactly

A lot of dumb workers can be more effective than a couple of smart workers

[remote geode]

I just ordered an Arc B580 off AliExpress and it's already in the Philippines 1 day later

had to pay a 20USD delivery fee but maybe that's because they're using air freight 🫠

I can't wait to replace my 1070ti

[craggy shoal]

That's a pretty decent upgrade

[remote geode]

I probably could've gone for a 4070 with the budget I spent

but I vowed not to go for nVidia for my GPU this generation

[fresh timber]

Which cpu

[remote geode]

11600k

[fresh timber]

Too slow

[remote geode]

The GPU?

[craggy shoal]

The CPU

[fresh timber]

No cpu is too slow

[remote geode]

I am running it at 5.0GHz and at 1440p

[fresh timber]

Doesn’t matter

It’s a b580

11600k is too slow for it

[frigid stag]

Ye those gpus have their flaws

[remote geode]

Incremental upgrades, eh?

I'm thinking of going AM5 when I upgrade next year

[craggy shoal]

That's a good idea

[remote geode]

11th gen Intel is a dead end

Unless I find a really good deal for an i7

[craggy shoal]

Nah I'd just go to AM5 unless Intel revives themselves (somehow) by the time you upgrade platforms

[fresh timber]

Lga1700 on a budget is nice

[remote geode]

I'm worried with power efficiency now quite funnily since I started paying the bills recently

[craggy shoal]

That too. LGA1700 isn't as bad as people say anymore. Just get a decent motherboard and go for a used CPU and you're set

yikes don't go Intel nvm lol

[remote geode]

so I was playing with the idea of getting a frankenstein laptop CPU, mobo combo from AliExpress

[fresh timber]

Go Intel join me

[remote geode]

power efficiency

[remote geode]

They do

but that's why I'm buying it

I'm not buying it for the convenience of having a "it just works" GPU, I want to at least try an alternative, even if it's imperfect

[fresh timber]

Who cares

Powerrrrrrrr

[sinful blade]

Yeah, just kinda bummed

I’ll have to put more effort into OC

[fresh timber]

Did seller list it as a 5800x

[sinful blade]

Ye

[fresh timber]

Go for a partial refund

[sinful blade]

How do I do that

[remote geode]

Sometthing like this I'm interested in :)

Laptop CPU in a desktop package

[sinful blade]

The picture is a 5800

[fresh timber]

But the listing says 5800x

You can always ask

eBay’s protections

[remote geode]

If you file a chargeback with your bank there's a case to be made there but I think it's a weak case

[fresh timber]

No he needs to go through eBay

He bought it due to it claiming to be a 5800x

He can get a partial refund maybe

[sinful blade]

I have contacted eBay

@fresh timber they’re requesting that I do a return:/

Do I just give up, or do I return for the $105

[fresh timber]

Ask if a partial refund is possible cause that’s stupid

Idk any other cpu u can get at $105

[sinful blade]

I gotta ask the seller

According to their support

[fresh timber]

I’m ngl idk any other cpu than a 5600x

Might be best to keep it

If 5800 beats 5600x/5600 keep it

[sinful blade]

It’s actually hard to find any benchmarks for a 5800 lmao

[sinful blade]

They’re mostly identical, I know that, but I still feel like I got kinda scammed lmao

[fresh timber]

Same cpu tldr

If you want bump up then click speed

Overclock it 4.7ghz lmfao

Up the power limit

Call it a day

Is there anything wrong with doing this to select a java version for a script? It works for what I want it to do, and does not affect my system env. Unfortunately I have to juggle several different java versions.

export PATH=<snip>/jdk-21.0.2/bin/:$PATH

[fresh timber]

Yes

I’m not running super high fps and it likes to eat my vram

12 isn’t enough even with fsr2

[boreal cosmos]

the new doom requires 32gb of ram for 2k...

x_x

2k 60fps

[craggy shoal]

Doom can no longer run on a toaster

[fresh timber]

32gb is a pretty good standard tbh

[boreal cosmos]

yeah but for 60fps...

what if i want 165

[craggy shoal]

Probably still 32GB

[boreal cosmos]

mhmm u probably right

[fresh timber]

32 has been the “standard” for a while

[craggy shoal]

I think it's VRAM that you'd want more of for a higher frame rate

[craggy shoal]

Since Windows 11

[misty sparrow]

I had eight GB five years ago

Now I have sixteen and apparently the standard now is 32

[craggy shoal]

I can't understand how some people are still doing 8GB

[boreal cosmos]

Yeah but my standard is already 4k so i might need... 64 gigs x_x

[craggy shoal]

Bruh there's probably people still on 4GB

[fresh timber]

Not how it scales

[craggy shoal]

that's not how that works bruh

[fresh timber]

It’s not linear

It’s exponential

[craggy shoal]

You need more VRAM not RAM

[fresh timber]

Also that

16 > 32gb is less of a impact than 8 > 16

[misty sparrow]

I would get more RAM but DDR5 ram kinda pricey

[lone mango]

Surprisingly yeah

[tranquil pebble]

I am going to try it on 16 GB RAM + 8 GB VRAM

[boreal cosmos]

beside black friday, is there anything before that that will make hardware/peripherals in 2025 substantially cheaper?

[tranquil pebble]

just for lulz. My desktop is more proper with 32 GB RAM and 16 GB VRAM

@fresh timber seller is agreeing to a partial.

should I play this Oblivion Remaster thing?

[solar token]

[solar token]

no

its ue5 slop

[velvet summit]

Imagine if gta6 comes out and it uses physx

[idle nexus]

nooooooooo

it's UE5 slop

on top of Bethesda derp engine slop

so it's like two wrongs make a... three lefts... uh YA

[dusk knot]

43 reviews.smh

[idle nexus]

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 was alright for UE5 slop (& also the game whose title I hate writing the most ever)

is this like a poetry thing or?

[hoary zodiac]

it's a bot

hacked account or something

[idle nexus]

are you a bot? cuz guilty until proven innocent

6 DIMM slots ooo

3-way SLI

I might just have enough 1080tis & DDR4 to enjoy this

but no CPUs

heck

[frigid stag]

I forgot x99 was ddr4

[idle nexus]

was just looking into that ngl

apparently it was first to support it

[frigid stag]

Interesting

[idle nexus]

so memory OC is probably like 3200mhz lol

lol I have some in storage too

don't remember what but I remember they were micron & nothing good

[sinful blade]

I’m too poor to be Theo

[frigid stag]

Mine are the same timings and speeds just from different kits

[idle nexus]

I have some 4xxx i5 & an Asrock H board to go with them

[frigid stag]

Ones from a 16gb set the other is from a 32

[idle nexus]

i.e., not just crap but old crap lol

[frigid stag]

I have a z97 iirc

[idle nexus]

came from my brother's really old iBuyPower

some odd looking Nzed case

so H board, crappy Micron, non-K CPU, & NZed. What an awful purchase my brother made in like 2013 or something

[frigid stag]

Sounds like the average prebuilt

[idle nexus]

tbh

the reason AMD/Nvidia keep making 8gb terrible graphics cards is cuz of heckin pre-builts

is anyone building a system actually buying an 8gb GPU unless it's an old one due to budget constraints?

[frigid stag]

I mean I see people build pcs with 4060tis pretty frequently and 4060s

[idle nexus]

shopgoodwill has DDR3 fairly often

well ig but... I dunno I feel like most bad GPUs are purchased as part of a pre-built

for example, my gf's brother & his wife bought an NZed prebuilt like a year ago

[frigid stag]

The gpus are usually ok, but the rest of the stuff is super cut down

Like motherboard, ram, psu

They use the cheapest stuff

[idle nexus]

iirc it had like a 14400 or I dunno whatever non-K i5

AND AN RTX 3050 6GB

[frigid stag]

Oof

[idle nexus]

I was so mad when I found out

kinda felt betrayed that I wasn't consulted

[frigid stag]

I didn’t even know they had a 6gb version

[idle nexus]

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-3050-6-gb.c4188

[frigid stag]

Is it 92 bit bus XDD

Oh it is

[idle nexus]

we were going over there for some reason when I found out. I brought my 3060 12gb that had been in a box but they declined because, "We doN'T waNNa vOId thE wArRanTY"

I'm like okay then if something goes wrong, you put that trash card back in & then tell NZed

[frigid stag]

I don’t even think they’d know if it was changed

It’s a pretty dumb reason to deny warranty though

[idle nexus]

lol the other day my gf like put me on the spot cuz the NZed is apparently low on storage

[frigid stag]

Probably some 256gb nvme

[idle nexus]

long story short I gave him a 1TB M.2 I wasn't really using much aside from in like bench setup

then I asked like a week later if it installed okay

& she said she wanted to finish school before they installed it in case something goes wrong

I think it's best I avoid the topic of computers with them going forward lmfao

then I put together the stinky 10700KF build to throw on Jawa

& had to put two 512gb M.2s

because I gave away the only 1tb I can live without

😡

well I mean... I could live without... whatever, I wanna keep the other ones dammit lol

Not bad tbh

[rancid juniper]

yep

[hoary zodiac]

6400CL32 kits are cheaper than 6000CL30 kits in europe for some reason

[fresh timber]

too much

should cost $20

[dense locust]

$50 is the new $20

[rancid juniper]

bruh

its alot better than paying $70 base for a worse experience

[deep parcel]

too bad it isnt open world afaik

[fresh timber]

still too much

[opaque sedge]

@rancid juniper i’m starting to associate exp33 with my elden ring playthru… i’m scared to proceed at some areas the enemy design is freaky af too 😭

[fresh timber]

more than $30 and i become captan jack sparrow

i made a few expections for games

like helldivers

[rancid juniper]

oof

eh linear or open world i like em

[opaque sedge]

like wtf is that sound design this game is horrifically good 😭

[rancid juniper]

getting seized up are we?

[opaque sedge]

mhm...

[rancid juniper]

man i gotta go back to play this

in a matter of fact ill do it now

[opaque sedge]

like dude what happened in that clip was i had cleared out the whole area but then i rested in a flag and went back to that

i was understandably freaked out

[rancid juniper]

yea, I don't typically rest on those checkpoints as much unless i want to XP farm

last i played

ik low hrs im a casual ok?

[lone mango]

Maybe because people are not buying 6400

[lone mango]

[craggy shoal]

Hmmm might be a good time to buy 6400

[opaque sedge]

Also i feel lost like when playing elden ring at times

[opaque sedge]

Damn kinda wanna grab the mafia trilogy

[lone mango]

My 6400 kit was just $10 more but my 9600x cannot run it

[opaque sedge]

Apparently runs well on the steam deck

[rancid juniper]

I haven't played those games yet but i have it in my library

maybe i should stream em

[lone mango]

So I just downclocked to cl28 6000

[opaque sedge]

Stream? As in like twitch? Or play the game thru streaming?

[rancid juniper]

twitch yea

[lone mango]

[opaque sedge]

Huh interesting

[rancid juniper]

They know RTX 5060 is absolute TRASH

that they don't early reviews

[lone mango]

Yeah they arent releasing press drivers until the day it comes out

And this works in their favor because people like hub are going to computex

[rancid juniper]

biggest red flag yet

[lone mango]

Jay will do what he can but he said its probably gonna be like 2 days until his video comes out

[lone mango]

But its ok

Its cl28 rn so im not complaining much

[nocturne flicker]

Most of them are morons due to excessive detachment from reality, they don't understand either

[lone mango]

Ok

[fresh timber]

Oh

Meanwhile my friends 9950x3d does 8200

[lone mango]

Only geforcers understand

[nocturne flicker]

Hello fellow Geforcers

[lone mango]

I could probably do 8000 if I bought it, maybe but this depends on the board and cpu, more so on the board rather than cpu. He is running 2067 on the chip whereas 6400 would be 3200

I mean even buildzoid says so

But I had a feeling it wouldnt take it which is why I planned to downclock just in case

[dusk knot]

Right!?

It was a big thing if you put the chrome back in the wrong slot lol

Elementary and middle school...ah

[lone mango]

There are some rare cases of people even having issues with 6000

What do you mean your mother uses broil for storage

Do you have a different compartment for broiling?

[fresh timber]

I think it’s a black thing, even my dad does it

Do yall not use it as storage

[nocturne flicker]

We don't use one period, we have the broiling element in the actual oven

[fresh timber]

Finish

[hoary zodiac]

what country should I play in

[wraith fern]

we use it for storage too

never knew it could actually do something

I don't recommend traveling just to play a game

[hoary zodiac]

I wonder how good skylake would be as a nas

because in theory

the IPC improvements from skylake to coffee lake isn't really that much on the grand scheme of things right?

[sinful blade]

I actually canceled this and got a proper thermalright one

Not thermalrlght

[fresh timber]

if it cools it cools

[sinful blade]

Seller had half 1 stars half 5

So I took the 2 extra $ hit

[fresh timber]

update ur nickname

its false

[opaque sedge]

@rancid juniper this game… is legit like dark souls… but for the heart

[proud jackal]

[worn night]

4 cores at 3.6 GHz

I bought that optiplex but full size and it was ok

[rancid juniper]

This game makes me want to practice better timing

[sinful blade]

Toxic

[hoary zodiac]

I'm tempted mainly because of single thread performance

In theory the skylake should provide the best single thread perf/$

And I don't really need multi core that much

Since I could just run a bunch of pcs

[frigid stag]

I mean you could probably find decent 10100f pcs

Better single core iirc and more efficient probably

[hoary zodiac]

Not for $65

I'd need a ssd but still

[frigid stag]

True

[hoary zodiac]

Besides

8500 probably cheaper than 10100f

But that is a good idea tho

Since lower power consumption

I will keep that in mind

[frigid stag]

Yea and 8 threads

[hoary zodiac]

Oh it's got HT?

Yeah nah

They cost as much as coffee lake i7s

Or hell

Ryzen

[frigid stag]

128gb ram damn

How much is a 2300g or something like that

[hoary zodiac]

Do they make sffs with those

Non existent

[frigid stag]

Probably not

[hoary zodiac]

All the ryzen SFFs are shipped from the US so

The shipping alone is worth several skylake pcs

Or hell

The shipping can get me a coffee lake sff

That's 6c/6t for like $150 AUD

[frigid stag]

Nice

[fresh timber]

Not buying it but they exist at msrp

[idle nexus]

Expedition 33 is better than usual UE slop so far. Ostensibly, the game is optimized well enough that I can run 4K DLAA & fps stay high. Ngl, I dunno how high cuz GamePass doesn't have fps thing... well mine doesn't at least cuz ghost-spectre win11 has gamebar, etc. uninstalled lol.

GPU is getting rocked pretty hard

[proud jackal]

i finally got 5090 but i dont have time to play games

[idle nexus]

do the HDD cages really do anything to mitigate vibration? ig the little plastic slide in thing might help but I can't imagine it helps that much lol

[proud jackal]

in my cases yeah, helped a lot with rattling when it was in there really well.

but thats just me

the paradox of life:

[dense locust]

you dont have nvidia app?

[idle nexus]

no lol

[dense locust]

Understandable tbh

i only have it to use alt r i disabled everything else

[idle nexus]

what's that do? overlay?

[frigid stag]

Gfe>
Imo

[lone mango]

Just now that the overlay has a small fps hit

[frigid stag]

I don’t use either though

[lone mango]

Amd overlay does this too

[dense locust]

ye

[lone mango]

So your frame rate is a little higher than what you see once you turn it off

[idle nexus]

ig I could use Riva but I don't feel like doing the mission to configure it & sync hwinfo

to me this program kinda makes nvidia app pointless I dunno

[lone mango]

[proud jackal]

do you think my pc can run that game

[lone mango]

[idle nexus]

lol I think so yes

you can swap the versions of anything that's already in the game files, XeSS, FSR, DLSS, etc. so it's kinda more useful than nvidia app in that sense

I really wanna try swapping DLSS in Fartnite since it's old as heck but I think Easy Anti-Cheat will go bananas

[idle nexus]

I don't think it uses 32-bit PhysX so you're golden lol

this Expedition thing is making Fallout 4 look its age rn ngl lol

Bios version is 3.15 and I have curve optimizer though

[idle nexus]

lol I'm on X670E Taichi

[lone mango]

I am hoping this is ok

[wise wigeon]

his was a x870 steel legend

and the cpu was a 9950x

[idle nexus]

I'm on 3.20 BIOS

[wise wigeon]

i updated mine a month ago but i'm on gigabyte

[idle nexus]

I think I was on 3.10 or something before & my memory OC only worked with a stupid high ProcODT

[lone mango]

I saw a guy say he went back to 3.15 and is chilling

[idle nexus]

like 86ohm or something odd as heck

[wise wigeon]

i mean so he had it go kaput got an rma and tossed it into a rolled back board?

[idle nexus]

which btw is so weird cuz it makes the voltages required really low

[lone mango]

I think what happened was he wasnt booting and then was booting on the old version

[wise wigeon]

huh

[lone mango]

Posting sorry

[idle nexus]

also, some BIOS have a bug where you have to disable memory context restore if you disable powerdown

[wise wigeon]

i dont think its really the same problem as the one people are concerned about

the main concern is the bricked cpus

[lone mango]

People have no post and fried cpus

[idle nexus]

sorry I meant 68.6ohm my bad

[lone mango]

I think it has to do with their updates

[idle nexus]

what scares me on Asrock boards

eh let me see if it still does it

well mine I mean

[wise wigeon]

fried ones are burnt, and the no post you gotta test on other boards to see if its dead dead

[idle nexus]

oh wait it doesn't do it now ig lol

[wise wigeon]

because the thing is in a lot of cases the mobo works with other cpus

but something with asrock and zen5 aint meshing

and asrock and amd kinda just sweeping it under the rug

thread is sitting at 157 reports

of just 9800x3ds

as of right now on the self reported board

[sinful blade]

My cpu doesn’t exist

[fresh timber]

Pcpp doesn’t add select oem CPUs

But they add the 7500f

[sinful blade]

[wise wigeon]

was 5800 oem?

[fresh timber]

Yes

[sinful blade]

Guy got it out of an Alienware

[lone mango]

Tech yes says hes gonna press asrock about it at computex

Lets hope we get something

[lone mango]

Could be an overvolting situation

[dense locust]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqYBCNJUy5E

[wise wigeon]

early on people were like omg its just because asrock is popular thats why its getting more reports

[dense locust]

people still say that

[wise wigeon]

like nah when 130 out of 157 reports are from one company

thats an issue

[sinful blade]

So what’s the tldr

[proud jackal]

@dense locust do I buy 9950x3d to replace my 9800x3d

[wise wigeon]

it gud

[dense locust]

if you can find one hasnt been in stock for weeks

[wise wigeon]

dew it

[fresh timber]

My tldr, they are the same cpu

[proud jackal]

[fresh timber]

Looking at a few bench marks, you can oc the 5800 to be faster lmfao

[dense locust]

i think microcenters have them

but i dont live near one so i cant say

[idle nexus]

36 pages of my stupid pictures I send too much of but I found it

look at VDDCR_SOC reading

[fresh timber]

@sinful blade watching more, it’s the same exact cpu, like.. theirs no real world diffrence

[sinful blade]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hgDMKq
this is my entire build atm

[dense locust]

anyways i wonder when my asrock motherboard will kill my cpu

[idle nexus]

SOC voltage is how Asus was frying AM5 CPUs back around launch iirc

[wise wigeon]

site says no

on the pick a store it says oos for all stores rn

[lone mango]

Tech yes did bring soc up too, could be something similar

[idle nexus]

it's gotta be a bug tho. There's no way the CPU could survive 2.54v SOC

[lone mango]

Oh nvm different topic

[idle nexus]

can't remember which BIOS this was on

are we still talking about Asrock boards & barbequed CPUs? lol

[sinful blade]

most recent report had a cpu that was chilling for 5 months

[fresh timber]

Do you need better gpu

[idle nexus]

I never tried actually

[dense locust]

[idle nexus]

destroying an 11600K was enough

[dense locust]

i hope they find the cause

[idle nexus]

I miss that 11600K ngl

[dense locust]

and it can be fixed with a driver

[idle nexus]

crappy DDR5 speeds on DDR4 lol

[lone mango]

I hope this will not be me because I would be cooked fr

[dense locust]

it might an amd and a asrock problem

[lone mango]

If its gonna happen it needs to happen before the return window so I can swap boards

[dense locust]

since there are few cases of dead cpus on other boards besides asrock but asrock has the majority
