general-chat

[hoary zodiac]

yeah

there are a couple good episodes tho

what is the main ssd?

you want the hotter ssd under the heatsink

if you have a gen 3 and a gen 4

the gen 4 should be under the heatsink

[fresh timber]

How’s 9070xt in Australia boomer

[hoary zodiac]

I have $100 in my bank account

[lofty wave]

WD_BLACK SN750 SE NVMe 500GB but i think i have it in the secondary slot which has no heatsync

[nocturne flicker]

I have 1.1k. It has to last 6 more months

[lofty wave]

since the mother board has 2 ssd slots

[fresh timber]

You never looked at the stock

[hoary zodiac]

both ssds would be gen 4 correct?

you can get a heatsink for pretty cheap

gen 4s can be toasty so it's probably a good idea to get a haetsink

[hoary zodiac]

Why?

I have no desire for a 9070XT

I'd rather have a B60

[dusk knot]

Gotcha

I'm going to watch all the episodes

[hoary zodiac]

hold up

[dusk knot]

Should take a few months

[hoary zodiac]

I'll tell you the skippable episode

in season 1

[dusk knot]

Is it a filler?

[hoary zodiac]

yeah

it's the only one

[dusk knot]

Ok

[hoary zodiac]

ah crap

the subplot is not filler

ok in the episode "TKO" you can skip through the main plot

don't skip through the Ivanova subplot

[dusk knot]

Noted

Watching it rn

[hoary zodiac]

oh are you on that episode

lol

[dusk knot]

No. Not yet

[hoary zodiac]

ah

Season 1 is pretty slow but it picks up around the end

[dusk knot]

I hope so

[hoary zodiac]

and remember

[dusk knot]

I was introduced to star trek by my parents.I think my mom told me babylon 5 was kind of weird, but I will see

[hoary zodiac]

yeah it is pretty weird

If you don't have the complete context

it's a very serialized show for the 90s

[dusk knot]

Fine by me

I like that

[hoary zodiac]

If you like the writing in DS9

you'd like the later seasons

[dusk knot]

Hm. On my iPad

[hoary zodiac]

is that HD?

damn

I'm used to watching it in SD

[dusk knot]

Looks like 1080p to me

Well maybe 720p

[dusk knot]

Rip. How?

[dense locust]

[hoary zodiac]

DVD releases

[dense locust]

someone donated their plaque

[dusk knot]

Oh

[dense locust]

thats so sad

[dusk knot]

Concord LMAOOO

They should remove 2 zeros

[hoary zodiac]

All I'll say is

pay attention to certain characters

[dusk knot]

I'm trying

[hoary zodiac]

I'm really tempted to say who

but spoilers

💀

[dusk knot]

Don't even

[lofty wave]

well the mother board has a heatsync undeer the m.2 armor i can put an ssd. So would getting a ssd with

[hoary zodiac]

with?

[lofty wave]

with a heat sync be a bad idea

like double the heatsync

[hoary zodiac]

you have a ssd that's sitting naked no?

if it's a gen 4 it'd be a good idea to put a heatsink on that

[lofty wave]

pretty sure yeah

[hoary zodiac]

gen 4 ssds are a lot hotter than gen 3

[dusk knot]

@hoary zodiac the new doctor on the station reminds me of Captain sisko's son, but older.

Just the looks

[hoary zodiac]

oh he kinda does

[dusk knot]

Is he going to die?

[hoary zodiac]

the actor did

[dusk knot]

Oh

Terrible

I regret asking

😭

[hoary zodiac]

yeah B5's lost a lot more actors than ST

even from TOS we still have Shatner, Koenig and Takei

and the entire TNG/DS9/VOY cast

[dusk knot]

Crazy

[hoary zodiac]

The early seasons have a lot of surprise guest stars

also fun fact

remember this guy?

[dusk knot]

Yes

Kinda lol

I've watched Soo many episodes

[hoary zodiac]

same actor

[dusk knot]

Huh

I kind of see the actor

[dense locust]

seems the tariffs are ending

[hoary zodiac]

maybe someone realized that tariffs in such a globalized economy will naturally result in prices shooting up for everything

[lofty wave]

would this be a good one to put under the m.2 armor slot heat sync 2TB NVMe SSD PCIe Gen4 M.2 SSD

[hoary zodiac]

It's a good idea to put heatsinks on a gen 4 in general

[nocturne flicker]

The ruling will be appealed. It'll probably go to SCOTUS. It will likely be paused until that ruling is made

[hoary zodiac]

SCOT?

https://tenor.com/view/scotland-scottish-flag-flying-scottish-flag-gif-20740000

[nocturne flicker]

SCOTUS is the Supreme Court of the US

SCOT would be Supreme Court of the

[lone mango]

Arent recent ones not bad though

When they were new they were really hot

Like how gen 5 drives were super hot when they first came out

because they were using older controllers at the higher speed

[lofty wave]

i mean the one i have doesnt have a heat sync but its only 500 gb

so i think the 2tb one will be better and since i still got space under the heat sync im like why not

[hoary zodiac]

it's still a decent idea

better safe than sorry

[lone mango]

What is

[lofty wave]

true true

[hoary zodiac]

getting a heatsink

[lofty wave]

heat sync on a gen 4 ssd

[hoary zodiac]

they're not too expensive

[lone mango]

The capacity doesnt matter, its almost as fast as the 2tb model

Its gonna be like a couple hundred megs per second less

[lofty wave]

well its wd-black 500gb ssd

[lone mango]

Yeah true

[lofty wave]

got it like 5 years ago

i just need a 2tb so i never have to buy another one but the wd ones are over 130

[lone mango]

The blue is like 105 or something let me check again

[lofty wave]

i game alot so it bhas to be good for that

the one i sent is only 110 so its pretty good

[lone mango]

Even gen 3 drives are still good for gaming

https://shop.sandisk.com/products/ssd/internal-ssd/wd-blue-sn580-nvme-ssd?sku=WDS200T3B0E-00CHF0

sn580 is pcie 4

110 rn

[lofty wave]

that one is good too

[lone mango]

The teamgroup drives are also the same price

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/2VJgXL/teamgroup-mp44l-2-tb-m2-2280-pcie-40-x4-nvme-solid-state-drive-tm8fpk002t0c101

Oh wow the teamgroup drive has faster sequential speeds

[lofty wave]

so out of the 3 which should i get

[lone mango]

But the difference between random access is closer

[lone mango]

Whats the third one

[fresh timber]

I need to pay attention mire

Would have bought so quick 😭

[lone mango]

Make the screen never turn off

[lone mango]

There isnt even a model name

Idk maybe its good if amazon says it has very little returns

[lofty wave]

yeah no idea i just found it

[dense locust]

it also has good reviews

[worn night]

Guys how big of an upgrade would me getting a 9600x be

[lone mango]

Amazon reviews can be goofy though

[lone mango]

Small

[dense locust]

isnt S690Q the model name?

[lone mango]

Lets see

Yeah

[worn night]

What about if my e cores have been disabled

[fresh timber]

I just figured out my mom has 30k saves up for my future

[dense locust]

why are your ecores disabled

[worn night]

So my p cores go to max frequency

[dense locust]

[lone mango]

What you running at rn

[worn night]

4.6 is max

[dense locust]

i dont think a game can even take advantage of more than 8 cores anyways

[fresh timber]

I run 5.6gigggle huets

[lone mango]

Is that all core

[worn night]

Yeah

[dense locust]

i run 4.7 hgz

[worn night]

are you drunk

[dense locust]

eh good enough

[dense locust]

prob

[lone mango]

[fresh timber]

You use alder lake cpu

[dense locust]

amazon doesnt have the switch 2 i think nintendo hates amazon now

[lone mango]

I get like 5.1 all core with an occasional spike to 5.7 with pbo

[dense locust]

i get 200 mhz all core

[fresh timber]

Swirxh suckz

[dense locust]

no wait it was 600 mhz all core

[fresh timber]

Why do u want that

[dense locust]

i set it to 200 but it went to 600

the pc ran as bad as you'd expect

[worn night]

I opened ur profile and was instantly blinded

flash banged one might say

[dense locust]

you can enable a setting that set it to your default theme

so your fault

[worn night]

I’m trying to switch to am5 with a good enough upgrade but without ton of money

[dense locust]

whats your budget

[worn night]

-# ik ik no more all Intel build

[worn night]

No clue

[dense locust]

intel cpu + gpu sounds like itll go hard

[worn night]

It’s what I’m doing atm

[lone mango]

Wait till zen 6

[dense locust]

"wait till zen 7"

[worn night]

I would just get better intel cpu but my motherboard being weird

[dense locust]

what is "weird"?

[worn night]

Ram slots defective

[lone mango]

Might be even better to wait longer to get a meaningful upgrade

[worn night]

Dunno if it’s motherboard or my old ah cpu

[lone mango]

Lol thats not old

[worn night]

I just wanna switch platforms with something slightly faster

[dense locust]

i wonder if we wil ever come to a point where we can no longer upgrade a cpu

[worn night]

I’m running my ram in the two left slots

[dense locust]

maybe theyll figure out transistor stacking

[idle nexus]

they don't work in A2/B2?

[worn night]

Nah

This motherboard was an rma repair

[idle nexus]

Does just one work in A2 or one in B2 then try the same thing with the other DIMM to see if maybe one is borked?

[worn night]

Supposedly asus fixed and tested it themselves

[idle nexus]

try reseating CPU?

[lone mango]

Probably gonna be super hot

[worn night]

No

[idle nexus]

if you cranked the heck out of your cooler, LGA1700 tends to bend

maybe you got a pin or two not contacting I dunno

[dense locust]

could be the cpu

[lone mango]

They might use light by that time ngl

[worn night]

Did, it worked for a little while then little by little ram errors corrupted system

[idle nexus]

try one stick in A2; the same stick in B2; the other stick in A2; & then the other stick in B2

are you running XMP?

[dense locust]

its prob a problem with the cpu

what that prob is i dont know

[worn night]

Atm it gets stuck on ram error if any stick in any position on any 2

[worn night]

No iirc I just set it to 6000

[idle nexus]

RAM error? like you get Windows BSOD or BIOS says it can't POST?

[worn night]

2x16 z5

[idle nexus]

try running it not set at all just to see

13400F has locked System Agent voltage iirc

[worn night]

Debug light on motherboard, strix z690e

55

[idle nexus]

55 is... heck I exactly which voltage I forget

are you manually setting DRAM voltage when you manually set 6000?

[worn night]

55 is ram error on this motherboard

[worn night]

No

[idle nexus]

well it could be that since you manually set 6000 & nothing else, it's trying to run as if you didn't set 6000 voltage-wise

[worn night]

All the more reason…

[worn night]

Doesn’t explain the a1 b1 favoring

[idle nexus]

i.e., DRAM voltage, DRAM VDDQ, System Agent, CPU VDDQ, are being set like you're running 5600 or whatever

it might

because at those relatively low voltages, it might be able to run single channel

[worn night]

hmm

[idle nexus]

but the memory controller, etc. voltage could be too low to run dual

[worn night]

do you think you could help me with this in the morning

[topaz crown]

Hello @worn night! 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.

[idle nexus]

wait... A1 B1 works?

[lone mango]

[worn night]

Right now it’s midnight for me

[worn night]

Yeah

[idle nexus]

A1 B1 would run dual channel

[worn night]

Wait I mean

[idle nexus]

cuz from left to right it goes A1 A2 B1 B2

[worn night]

A1 and A2 then mb

[dense locust]

Hello @lone mango 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.

[worn night]

B channels not work

[lone mango]

Yeah yeah rock and stone...

[idle nexus]

B channel is also slightly further from the CPU

[worn night]

Yeah lol

[dense locust]

there should be a diagram on the motherboard

[idle nexus]

so it might need slightly higher VDDQ on the DRAM or the IMC's side to communicate or something

[lone mango]

I thought they make the channels equal length

[worn night]

ok in the morning is it possible to continue this

I’m tired

[idle nexus]

do they? I could be wrong ngl

[slate fractal]

🧍‍♂️🧍🏻‍♂️🧍🏼‍♂️🧍‍♂️ (weezer)

[worn night]

In abt 8-9 hours

Gn chat

[lone mango]

Pretty sure they make the traces equal length to avoid data being delivered at the wrong time

Ight peace

[idle nexus]

but even if there are lots of variables I'm too dumb/not engineer enough to understand with the shape of the traces, & who knows what else? uh eddy currents... interference? I dunno

[lone mango]

Perhaps memory control is not doing so hot anymore

Needs to retire

[idle nexus]

ya for sure. Before anything tho, populate A2/B2 & reset CMOS or go into BIOS & set DRAM frequency to auto

[lone mango]

Old man aint fit for it anymore

[worn night]

alr

[idle nexus]

just to see lol

it sucks they locked down 13/14th non-Ks way more than they locked down 12th

12th gen you get a board with clock gen & it's off to the races lol

except my 12100F

it just kinda sucks dunno why

so what'd I miss? I haven't been on in awhile lol

there were some cool computex things

none come to mind immediately but lol

[lone mango]

Idk i be hopping in and out for the past few days

[idle nexus]

did you see this? it's kinda cool but I wonder if Mojang/Microsoft will have anything to say about it lol https://www.thermaltake.com/news/view/index?id=1410

[lone mango]

Well nvidia tried to force gn into reviewing the 5060 with frame gen and blackmailed him by saying they wont let him make content with engineers if he doesnt do it

[idle nexus]

oh ya I saw all that drama

[lone mango]

This goes so hard

[idle nexus]

lol ya it's pretty cool

it has a fan inside too I think

this LCD screen stuff is getting a little over the top lol

isn't Noctua doing an AIO

or thermosiphon or something

I forgot already

[lone mango]

Yeah

[nocturne flicker]

Both

[lone mango]

Lian li made a case that has a glass front but with fan cutouts

Looks like speakers

[nocturne flicker]

The AIO is just a normal AIO with Noctua fans and a special pump sound damper

[lone mango]

Yeah its a dampened asetek

But they said they are just getting into it, so they are using that for now while they design their own pump

[idle nexus]

I was just looking for a picture of this haha

[lone mango]

Speakers

[nocturne flicker]

I think that case is really interesting. Not something I'd buy but interesting

[idle nexus]

should put a 200mm at the bottom; 120 in the middle; & like 2-3 80mm so it'll have bass, mid-range, & tweeters

[lone mango]

Yeah not the biggest fan but it is very interesting and I know there will be a market for it

[idle nexus]

lol I think it's really interesting. Something I'd probably end up breaking but interesting here

[lone mango]

I think its better in more dim environments like in the gn video

Looks kinda weird in that picture but it looks better in the gn video

[idle nexus]

those look like speakers for a boat lol

supposedly B770 is happening again

well the rumor mill is back to it

[nocturne flicker]

[idle nexus]

odds are it was either always happening or isn't happening

but rumor mill is back to happening

I wonder if it'll be 16gb

[lone mango]

Seems to be more legit this time

[idle nexus]

that card that's like two Intel GPUs on one for workstations is weird

I thought the cores would work in tandem or something like SLI or something

[lone mango]

And intel is already testing celestial so thats cool

[idle nexus]

instead it's just like shove two GPUs into one x16 lol

like... why does no one make a riser to do that?

or maybe they do I dunno

[lone mango]

They also seem to be looking forward to druid as well

[idle nexus]

Intel has been way too quiet in the CPU department

[lone mango]

Yeah it splits the the x16 to two x8

Its like two gpus basically rather than a dual gpu card

[idle nexus]

last I heard there's gonna be like an Arrow Lake refresh then on to yet another chipset

[lone mango]

Yeah that seems to be the move

[idle nexus]

ah okay good. I wasn't 100% sure I understood that entirely

[lone mango]

Seems like they dont get it

[idle nexus]

I mean... ig it depends

[lone mango]

People are going amd also because of long term support

[idle nexus]

if it's a jump like 12th gen to 13th gen in terms of performance then maybe

if it's a jump like from 13th to 14th then don't bother

[lone mango]

I wonder what node will be used for the refresh

Would be cool if they use 18A

[nocturne flicker]

Guys come back, were are going to be releasing Arrow Lake properly this time

Come back

[lone mango]

[idle nexus]

lol like nvidia rumors of dropping Supers already?

"jk jk jk this is what 50 series was supposed to be fr fr"

[lone mango]

Rumors been for a while but what's new is the possibility of not having additional cores

[lone mango]

fr

[idle nexus]

"yes, 5090 still costs more than a used Honda"

[lone mango]

$7000 gold 5090

[nocturne flicker]

5090 Super requires mortgage

[lone mango]

Hello klarna I would like to purchase this 5090 with 4 payments

And then not pay the other 3

Thank you

I might do this with the 9060 xt

[idle nexus]

lol & all 5090s are charity to them cuz they could be using that silicon on $10k AI GPUs

[lone mango]

Fellas please undervolt your 5090

You can save 100 watts and lose no performance

[nocturne flicker]

I'll put 4k down on this 5090 super at 6.75% interest rate

[lone mango]

I dont think theo undervolted yet

[nocturne flicker]

I don't think theo

[misty sparrow]

I don’t Theo

[lone mango]

I told him many times to do it i hope he did

[nocturne flicker]

I Theo

[lone mango]

Thai

[misty sparrow]

Thai chicken

[nocturne flicker]

The 5090 tie

[idle nexus]

I wonder if the HOF 5090 also comes with an extra 12vhpwr connector & some solder

[dense locust]

T

[misty sparrow]

The 5090 lie

[nocturne flicker]

The 5090 die

[misty sparrow]

U

[lone mango]

I think that one does yeah

For overclocking

[idle nexus]

I heard rumor that Nvidia wouldn't let board partners put a second one

[lone mango]

This is an ultra limited edition for xoc

[idle nexus]

imagine having to solder that after blowing like $6k or whatever it costs on it lol

[lone mango]

5090 super when

We need 3 gb modules

[nocturne flicker]

Iirc the AIBs were scared to put a second one in because Nvidia didn't, not that Nvidia prohibited it

[lone mango]

Since thats all super is

[nocturne flicker]

Somebody talked to the AIBs, they said it was not allowed, they talked to Nvidia, Nvidia said huh? And when they called the AIBs back, they said they had been told they could put a second one in

[idle nexus]

ig Galax pretends they don't have a HOF for 5090? Probably just cuz English site I dunno https://www.galax.com/en/graphics-card/50-series/5090-series.html

[nocturne flicker]

It might've been Jayz, I'm not sure

[idle nexus]

were they told that between Nvidia saying huh? & receiving the call back? lol

[nocturne flicker]

Yes

[idle nexus]

der8aur had some tiny 50 series

[nocturne flicker]

I think Jayz used it as an example of how hostile Nvidia is being in his Nvidia reviewer controversy video

[idle nexus]

tbh I stopped watching Jay

I kept finding myself feeling like he didn't know what he was talking about

then he dropped the, "faster RAM doesn't matter" video & tried to substantiate the claims using Port Royal & Cinebench

both of which do NOT scale at all with faster system memory

on an unrelated note, anyone tried libretube?

[fresh timber]

I reserved a 9070 for $609

Also my motherboard died

[idle nexus]

it's my new favorite thing haha

[lone mango]

Yeah he changed since then

He has gotten better with it

[idle nexus]

eh maybe I'll give him another shot then

[lone mango]

But is still the goofy jay he is so this is good

[fresh timber]

Guess what?

[lone mango]

But he has gotten better at benching

[lone mango]

[fresh timber]

My am4 board died on me so I'm getting 9070 over 9070xt and using money to buy a new motherboard smh

I hate you am4

[lone mango]

What board was it

[fresh timber]

B450m gaming pluas

It doesn't lower the psu on anykoe

[nocturne flicker]

Steve staged an intervention to stop Port Royal

[idle nexus]

now you just need to add this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VNVVXW6?&linkCode=sl1&tag=ufddeals-20&linkId=8ef5871b3a10c1729526224d2ee94bc2&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl

[fresh timber]

I'm going I get that gigabyte return

[idle nexus]

and 9070 = 9070XT

EZ

[nocturne flicker]

Or was it Heaven

I dunno

[lone mango]

Perhaps psu is buggin

[idle nexus]

Heaven is a terrible benchmark to try to set records with

first because it doesn't have globals on hwbot anymore

[lone mango]

Hotspot temps get crazy though

[fresh timber]

Its not

[fresh timber]

Idc I just want a working card and motherboard

[nocturne flicker]

It was Heaven. They just had it running in the background just to have something running and Steve made it into a bit

[lone mango]

He doesnt use it anymore, he just has it running in the background as a memento or something

Just because

[idle nexus]

second because, like Firestrike, SuperPosition, & all the other OLD benchmarks, you're allowed to modify LOD & TESS settings

[lone mango]

Or to irritate steve

Becuase steve doesnt like heaven

[lone mango]

Do you have the tester

[idle nexus]

Heaven sucks I hate it

lol

[lone mango]

Or the paper clip

[fresh timber]

I know it not the psu

[nocturne flicker]

I liked Heaven because you could do funky things in the settings while it was running. It amused me

[idle nexus]

all you need is like 4 cores barely stable at like 6.2ghz, affinity set away from CPU 0 so windows doesn't interfere, & LOD at like highest possible

[lone mango]

Never know, I got a corsair psu and it stopped working after two days

[idle nexus]

or lowest I dunno how it works

[fresh timber]

I'll ask my dad if I can get more money

[lone mango]

[idle nexus]

just set it in ProfileInspector to 0x00000078 lol

[lone mango]

Look

At least try testing the unit

[fresh timber]

Kek I need another $400 and I’m chilling

[fresh timber]

If I could curse I would

I’m getting new motherboard and it’s going to work

[nocturne flicker]

I need 26k

[fresh timber]

Why

[idle nexus]

custom loops aren't cheap but can be made to work for a lot less than you'd think lol

[nocturne flicker]

A guy owes me money

The guy is my step father

I'm malding

[fresh timber]

Why are people returning the gigabyte cards so much

$602 for a 9070? Score

[idle nexus]

lol if you'v ever watched Heaven benchmark run with LOD/TESS on crazy settings, it's like not even the benchmark anymore. Textures are missing, a bunch of crap is just blue

the worst tho is Firestrike

if you run Firestrike with max LOD/TESS, you can't see anything going on except an orangish pink blur

except for the CPU test

you still see the little flying thingies but they're like polygon looking

[nocturne flicker]

Computing the graphics at the resolution my eyes naturally work at

[idle nexus]

lol same

[nocturne flicker]

Glasses go brrr

[idle nexus]

I need glasses fr

should look into that

[nocturne flicker]

Need vision insurance or else 700 for 1 pair

American healthcare go brrrrrrr

[idle nexus]

I have some glasses from like 10 years ago I didn't wear much

[idle nexus]

can't imagine the prescription would still work tho

[fresh timber]

They estimate $200 for my gpu

Whooo

[idle nexus]

which GPU?

[nocturne flicker]

7700xt

[idle nexus]

I should liquidate my 1080tis

before they're entirely worthless

[nocturne flicker]

I have a 3070 lying around

same haha

I'm seriously considering taking some crap GPUs I have like GTX 650

& practicing removing ICs

[nocturne flicker]

I have a ddr version of GT730

[idle nexus]

like invest in decent soldering

iron & what not

& after some practice, get some ICs to make 3070 16gb

[lone mango]

Dont do it

[nocturne flicker]

I will buy for 201 😐

Ez profit for you, 1 more

[lone mango]

It gets worse

[idle nexus]

oh wait

[idle nexus]

maybe it's 12gb

[lone mango]

[idle nexus]

techpowerup has vBIOS for 12gb 3070

[lone mango]

3 gig modules?

[hoary zodiac]

My new switch is here

[lone mango]

[nocturne flicker]

That says 11gb

[lone mango]

That little switch goes hard

[idle nexus]

close enough

maybe it's like how 1tb NVMe is like 931gb or whatever

[nocturne flicker]

[lone mango]

Thats because the os uses gibibytes instead of gigabytes

It actually is 1000 gigs

[nocturne flicker]

Gibby

[lone mango]

Gibby bites

[nocturne flicker]

[fresh timber]

Time to sell my gpu for $300

[lone mango]

Windows is displaying gibibytes but is telling you gigabytes

They are lying to you

[hoary zodiac]

So

This switch might be a tiny bit overkill

[lone mango]

Where the little one at

[lone mango]

Tree fiddy

[hoary zodiac]

What if I told you the big switch was cheaper than the little one

[lone mango]

Thats crazy

[hoary zodiac]

Ebay auction goes hard

[lone mango]

But all you need is that little one though

[hoary zodiac]

Well

[lone mango]

Unless you gonna expand

[hoary zodiac]

I'm hooking up one more machine

Which uh

Will need that extra port

Now that I think about it

Not really

But you know

Funny $20 switch

[lone mango]

[hoary zodiac]

I have five ports occupied rn

One's unplugged

So four

Will be 5

With expansion

[nocturne flicker]

So which is your Switch 2

[hoary zodiac]

Nah I'm too poor

Don't need no vlan

[nocturne flicker]

Need flan

[hoary zodiac]

Ok

This switch is massive in comparison

Comically sized homelab

But

This isn't the only thing

[hoary zodiac]

FPM?

This is pretty much just a cheap i7-6700

[nocturne flicker]

Frames Per Minute

[idle nexus]

120 at 1440p with 4x MFGG & DLSS Quality iirc

[peak heart]

best gaming/editing cpu out there in $600?

[fresh timber]

Ima try something janky

[fresh timber]

9950x I think

[dense locust]

Don’t you do that every day?

[lone mango]

Video editing? More reliant on the gpu performance

No lie a 9800x3d might be good enough really

I have a 9600x and its chill

Even my 5600 was good

[fresh timber]

Let’s just say it works

[dense locust]

Doesn’t intel have that special thing where it uses the igpu?

[lone mango]

I think thats a premiere thing

But yeah

[peak heart]

enough for gaming also? in terms of cpu only?

[lone mango]

Thats the fastest gaming cpu brotha

And there is no compromise in core performance even though it is the x3d chip

So expect 9700x performance in work

Actually its even faster

[fresh timber]

Time to find a motherboard like

Am4 cheap I’m lucky

Unironically better than old board

[lone mango]

No way

[hoary zodiac]

How is that worth $89

That costs more than my old B450 Gaming Plus Max

[fresh timber]

Cause I need it Tommrow

[hoary zodiac]

🤨

[fresh timber]

My motherboard is dead

[hoary zodiac]

Ight

[fresh timber]

I tried this to revive it, all I got was fan spins

[nocturne flicker]

New AM4 boards are a joke rn

[fresh timber]

They need same day shipping frfr

[nocturne flicker]

New X570 is also actually pretty nonexistent

[fresh timber]

Estimate how much your build costs.

[fresh timber]

I’m doing that plus a I’m greedy tax 😚

If I include 7700xt I can probably get $800

6600, probably $500-600

[acoustic palm]

GGGGGG

How much

[fresh timber]

Did I show you the 9800x3d

[acoustic palm]

wtf

Sigma

[fresh timber]

I lied

[dense locust]

We didn’t see it

[fresh timber]

I’ll buy x3d at a later date

[fresh timber]

[lone mango]

Just move the voltage slider to the left

[fresh timber]

some people got -200

oh this is diffrent

my 7700xt has more tuning options

[frigid stag]

You got the non xt?

[fresh timber]

read my username

[frigid stag]

Oh

[fresh timber]

dad bought it for me

[frigid stag]

Noice

[fresh timber]

so likee...

i just went overkill

i only used my money on a new motherboard

[frigid stag]

What board did you get

[fresh timber]

cheapo asus b550

i just needed a working motherboard

[dense locust]

those 0.2% lows tho

[fresh timber]

my ram isnt stable

i need to tune its profile a bit

i should

surly pcie 3.0 wont be a problem

my friends pc is so weird

it just went black mid match and did this

can it be the cpu

[dusk knot]

This is the last day at my mediocre job. Feels kinda good, but I will miss my coworkers.

[lone mango]

Yeah I saw a video of this guy going -150 on the asrock card and he got the 3300 mhz speeds that we saw on the articles a long time ago

Like 330w

[fresh timber]

.. im running 3300 stock

ish

i boost to that

not often

[lone mango]

Maybe you wont be able to uv as much then

[fresh timber]

i alr oc the vram to 2700

fast timings

im getitng expected performnace in doom

[frigid stag]

You can bring back start menu to windows 11 apparently

[fresh timber]

my friend wants my 7700xt

i might just give bro it

[frigid stag]

Might finally upgrade to it on my main

Sell it to him for like hundred bucks

[fresh timber]

he wants a "deal:

i told him 300 is a deal

check eba

[frigid stag]

200 is fair

200 to 300

[fresh timber]

$200 is a 6600xt priec

his rx6700 is having problems playing games

[frigid stag]

Is used market that overpriced

[fresh timber]

or its his CPU

he has a 13600kf too

[frigid stag]

I thought 250 got you like a 6800

[fresh timber]

no

$250 gets u a 3060ti

[lone mango]

Nah

6700 xt

[fresh timber]

what other test should i do to this gpu

[frigid stag]

Brutal

[lone mango]

For some reason going above 6700 xt has crazy price increases

[frigid stag]

That’s like more than what they used to sell for new

[fresh timber]

i could make back half my 9070xt cost

[frigid stag]

Real

[fresh timber]

then sell the system and boom 9070xt paid off

the only reason i got it

i can get the money back and get rid of stuff i dont need

now that i have a top of the line gpu

idk what to do

i really dont wanna upgrade my pc anymore..

my pcs time is off

every message i post says its yerterday

i should prob ddu drivers, im using 7700xt drivers

I’m not surprised just disappointed. STGaubron is perfectly okay selling outdated junk to poor saps who don’t know any better

My friend’s computer was sent to him with all the wrong fans. They were oriented backwards and now that I swapped them around the brackets are visible meaning they are the wrong orientation of fan. This thing was sucking hot air in the back and pushing it out the front and suffocating itself.

so for the weird people who only use their igpu?

[elfin mural]

yes

low power mini pcs

the igpus in them are actually competent

since 6000 series

[dense locust]

9800x3DG

[fresh timber]

It’s super super basic

Honestly we need a Apu that isn’t cut down desktop chip

8700g kinda sucks with its limited pcie

how do i see.. how stable it is

[urban umbra]

Nah dedicated

[dense locust]

why do they make metal slides anyways

[fresh timber]

to tortue us

[misty sparrow]

Probably because they didn’t have a lot of plastic back then

[fresh timber]

hey chat

whats a good gpu stress test i can run for a min

all i got is furmark in my brain

[dusk knot]

I remember doing this....the pain

[rough zinc]

Plastic slides are why the current gen is so weak

I’d mod it to 32
