GPU debt shall not be erased with bankruptcy

You thought student loans were bad

[idle nexus]

I got these stupid fan splitters that each of the 5 ports has a tach pin. Even with 4 of the same P12s connected, no tach reading

I bet if I cut off the third pin on all except one of the 5 ports I'd get a reading again

kinda dumb since they could've saved a bunch of metal slivers to increase margins

[upper rain]

probably a bunch of prefab parts frankensteined together

[idle nexus]

ya probably

[upper rain]

cheaper to lose $0.0001 per unit than spend the money on a unique design

[idle nexus]

ig they were worth what I paid for them haha

I put all the 140s together & all the 120s together for, uh, reasons

Also, trying to make cables look nice for SLI is a hecking mission wth

this was the best I could get them. I gave up

hmm I wonder if I could run the top ones over the top to try to make it match so it wouldn't suck for cooling lol

[lone mango]

Ok everybody said they will switch
https://youtu.be/Oe1yaPkwEgQ

Will they switch now?

[idle nexus]

I always search for radiators to see if I get lucky but instead it's just heckin car parts

[upper rain]

nothing you can't make work with a bit of redneck engineering

[idle nexus]

lol but they don't even have car/motorcycle radiators iirc

which would kind of be a pain in the ass to use cuz they're usually aluminum

[upper rain]

oh, just unrelated car parts?

i thought you meant car rads lol

[idle nexus]

haha no for computer

[upper rain]

😭😭😭

now we're both talking past each other lol

probably my fault, i crash and burn past like 3pm bc of work schedule lol

[idle nexus]

they have a bunch of stainless steel pipe fittings but most need a press tool to use. Plus, after using copper pipe in a loop, I don't think I wanna deal with making plumbing pipe work for PCs again

maybe PEX or PVC someday lol

custom loop with braided stainless steel hoses might look kinda cool

I wonder if this could work lol

hmm 3/8 ID fittings...

heck but 9/16" is fat. There are lots of 3/8" ID with 1/2" OD fittings but not 9/16"

[velvet summit]

you'd probably have to use barbs

[idle nexus]

ya & barbs are kinda meh

I think I have some already come to think of it

but barbs with those wormdrive pipe clamps aren't my favorite

[fresh timber]

My case is stipid

The only reason u can’t fit a 140 at the bottom is cause the engineers was too lazy to drill a hole

[idle nexus]

drill a hole

& use nuts & bolts

I've done it many times lol

heck I used a giant hole saw for installing recessed lights to make a hole in a PSU shroud before

it wasn't beautiful but that side was hidden lol

it was also kinda pointless in hindsight

but I thought it might feed extra air up to my Deltas with rgb halos lol

Deltas with RGB

it's like an oxymoron or something

I'm sure it comes as no surprise that I ended up removing them cuz they were loud

but ya the point is, drill your case, cut your case. It's yours have fun with it lol

I cut most of the plexiglass out of the top of my H500P Mesh

[fresh timber]

I need a slim 140mm

[fresh timber]

I ended up using one screw and friction to get it

[idle nexus]

if it works it works

[fresh timber]

Ima put one on the outside easy

[idle nexus]

haha make it work ya

Hello Neighbor 3 playtest is out. I kinda hate it but why not

[fresh timber]

my temps didnt chaneg

i prob need a higher fancurve

oop forgot to turn that off

[idle nexus]

look at the picture after. the fan covers it lol

[idle nexus]

why did you have it enabled?

[idle nexus]

also, Tomieeeee!! missed you lol

[idle nexus]

hello, welcome

[fresh timber]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[idle nexus]

it's helpful for like

running pre 900 series GPUs & installing Windows 7 lol

[wary fjord]

The best driver for amd is.. driver only mode

[fresh timber]

why is my gpu at 100c 😭

[wary fjord]

maybe its just hotspot

[fresh timber]

all i did was ADD fans for AIRFLOW

[fresh timber]

no its worst than before i added fans

i just added fans

[wary fjord]

Remove the fan and confirm

[fresh timber]

efford

do it for me AI

[wary fjord]

holds an hammer ⚒️ aight bet

[idle nexus]

https://www.alphacool.com/en/news/new-rx-9070-cooler

[fresh timber]

honestly if they come out with a 9070xt waterblock

i might do it

13600kf 9070xt waterloop 🔥

[idle nexus]

or at least: https://www.amazon.com/Thermal-Grizzly-Conductonaut-Grease-GPU-Value-Pack/dp/B0BKH2DC3K?

[fresh timber]

oh

rn it has PTM

came with it

[idle nexus]

I got this today but haven't tried it on anything yet so dunno https://www.amazon.com/Meta-Online-Liquid-Metal-Thermal/dp/B0DJFTW56C?

[fresh timber]

do u have a percision screwwdriver kit, the screws on the backplate are so small non of my drivers fit it

id liquidmetal if it didnt risk shorting everything

nonconductive liquid metal when

[idle nexus]

I use like the old version of this https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-Ratcheting-Precision-Screwdriver-Set-23-Piece-H23PCSDSET/300117121

for sure there are way better ones but lol

[fresh timber]

probably lol

i just set my 140mm fans to 100%, i cant hear them at all

[idle nexus]

ehh there are some pad things... I forget Hardware Unboxed was pushing them for awhile

https://www.thermal-grizzly.com/en/kryosheet/s-tg-ks

they're still electrically conductive but they aren't a liquid

[fresh timber]

when i put the 9070xt in my main pc its 100% going to run cooler with my 12 fans

[idle nexus]

so you'd have to really bork install lol

[fresh timber]

running them at 100% fixed that problem

ok i just need to wait till im home

this case is a hotbox with the gpu fans being right on the psu

the fans barley helpede

[idle nexus]

I put liquid metal on everything lol

[fresh timber]

should i repaste the ptm or nah

i got temps and noise down, i can get lower with higher fan speed

[tall pine]

How do you prevent leaking?

[elfin mural]

conformal coating

i would assume

[fresh timber]

ok

i need a new case

well i have a case

its just at home

😭

[idle nexus]

yes conformal

[trail nest]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nthv4xF_zHU

[fresh timber]

yeah im not getting pizza

[wary fjord]

Hmmm why is your cc invalid

[fresh timber]

i just bought something off it.. like right now ¯_(ツ)_/¯

idk

[nocturne flicker]

Hmm. Maybe you should send it to us so we can make sure it works

Totally trust worthy

Did you enter the security number on the back?

If I use my card digitally sometimes it doesn't prompt for it so I have to manually select the box and type it in

[idle nexus]

lol my brain broke reading this... what?

[elfin mural]

im so sick of paypal holding money

what's so suspicious about an honest 300 bucks transaction

[nocturne flicker]

Trust, it is being sent to Mr Patel from Amazon Support

[idle nexus]

lol they act like someone has to physically take $300 & move it from one box to another or something I hate that

[wary fjord]

This is why you open a business account

[idle nexus]

heck

[wary fjord]

Buuld a fake web site something and submit that as your business it will be approved

[idle nexus]

no one bought my stupid 10700KF build on jawa

sad

[elfin mural]

here in thailand i need a ton of documents to open a business account on paypal

like actual proof of a business

government issued documents

so annoying

[wary fjord]

yeah i do that too.. but they wont press you if yhat bizz is real

Alsong u submit a document

[idle nexus]

name it Yhat Bizz

[wary fjord]

Have u seen my PayPal?

My bizz literally TomieAi

[idle nexus]

is that pronounced like yacht or like why-hat?

[nocturne flicker]

A company you want to set up a buisness account with wants proof of business, how unexpected

[wary fjord]

[elfin mural]

totally

[nocturne flicker]

I take my Whyhat on the lake

[elfin mural]

but ah well

imma continue waiting on paypal to gimme my 300 bucks i got from a friend

[wary fjord]

ggood bizz

[idle nexus]

hmm sounds like laundering money to me

[wary fjord]

PayPal doesn't like when ur pp is broke then u suddenly received a large sum of money

[idle nexus]

I keep trying to get Thermaltake to make new really fancy 200mm fans & call them ggood003-200s

[elfin mural]

no, it's literally an innocent transaction

[idle nexus]

hasn't worked yet

[nocturne flicker]

You don't want to touch dirty money. You don't know where people have put it

[elfin mural]

i know the source

made sure to talk about it thoroughly

[wary fjord]

Yeahhhh lets goo make one

[idle nexus]

No one likes a broke pp

[nocturne flicker]

🤨

[elfin mural]

it's just that paypal most likely wants to check since it is really an unusual amount according to my history

[wary fjord]

PayPal is so stricked with personal account...

PayPal business: oooh you made this $$$$ this month good job.. want to setup invoice for automation?

[elfin mural]

so fair enough

[fresh timber]

idk what ima use for my business

prob zelle

[idle nexus]

cash

[fresh timber]

me and my friends bout to start selling pcs

[idle nexus]

bitcoin

good luck

[fresh timber]

zelle makes more sense right

[wary fjord]

Zelle and cash app makes u sound like a scammer

[idle nexus]

I feel like if you're selling PCs but you're not like Dell, CyberPower, etc., it's hard to do

people wanna compare the price of a pc to the price of buying each component individually

skipping the part where it took you like 2 hours to build it

[fresh timber]

im simple,, i make pc, i list on facebook and jawa

[idle nexus]

at least 2 hours

[wary fjord]

I think i build a first pc at 2019 took me 6 hours because my anxiety spiking up like crazy

[fresh timber]

i go meet person in car to sell pc and we exhange mone then

[idle nexus]

no one wanted to buy my sad 10700KF/3060 for $699

[fresh timber]

try jawa.gg

add more rgb

[elfin mural]

make it glow

[idle nexus]

it was on jawa lol

[elfin mural]

like a glow stick

[wary fjord]

Have u guyys close your eyes or ears when you first try to boot your new build pc

[fresh timber]

yeah

i bent my gpu out the socket a bit and i was scared it broke

[nocturne flicker]

No

I trust pc and my middling competence

[wary fjord]

Yeah psu sounds like a shotgun when it pops

[idle nexus]

my 5900x wouldn't boot the first time after I finally finished the loop lol

[fresh timber]

my breaker sounds liek a shotgun when it pops

[wary fjord]

Why is that flammable

[idle nexus]

I need to find a white wall & relist it huh? that background didn't help

[lone mango]

And not putting so much to the point where it would even leak

[nocturne flicker]

Compressed air contains chemicals

[wary fjord]

Need lights retake it

[nocturne flicker]

The chemicals are flammable

[wary fjord]

Too dark

[fresh timber]

i wtf that should sell

it might be because its intel

[idle nexus]

it's 10th gen Intel

which is like a fossil

[nocturne flicker]

Spin a fan fast enough it'll generate enough heat that lights the chemicals up

[elfin mural]

pc go boom

[fresh timber]

peopel are stupid and think all intel bad

[idle nexus]

I think the CPU being delidded might've worked against me

[lone mango]

Npcs dont even know

[idle nexus]

normies get scared or something I dunno

[fresh timber]

delieded cpu might scare people.. if they take the cooler off

[idle nexus]

maybe my store name wasn't convincing

[elfin mural]

im so used to seeing bare dies

laptop life

[fresh timber]

lmfao

[wary fjord]

I mean intel is not doing good lately.. its just the reputation is tainted.. so when first no brainer stumble on it.. they gonna think intel is a dud

[fresh timber]

unironcoily im about to sell a pc for the same price as good good siwth worst specs

[lone mango]

ggood PCs

[fresh timber]

5500+rx6600, i got lian li like fans im spamming inside it

[nocturne flicker]

Some formulas literally contain butane

[lone mango]

or GGOOD PCs

[wary fjord]

Not all intel is bad tho .. just those 900k thingy right?

[fresh timber]

i want to buy like 500 of these and keep a stock

[lone mango]

i5 Ks were also having problems

[wary fjord]

500 good lord

Aw

[elfin mural]

even those are ok now

[fresh timber]

if ima sell pcs realsicily i need to keep 20

[wary fjord]

So what is intel safe range now adays?

[fresh timber]

kek

[elfin mural]

core ultra

[wary fjord]

Without gimping it?

[elfin mural]

12th gen

yeah intel released patches

[idle nexus]

I reslisted. I'll take better pictures tomorrow or something

[lone mango]

13 if bought new as well

[idle nexus]

No one buy this so I don't break server rules... would that break server rules? eh anyway: any ideas on how to make listing look better? https://www.jawa.gg/product/73247/i7-10700kf-de-lidded-rtx3060-12gb-2x16gb-ddr4-2x512gb-nvme-pc

[lone mango]

Brighter environment

[elfin mural]

try to advertise gaming performance

give fps numbers on like gta v or something popular

[lone mango]

The pictures are zoomed in

[idle nexus]

I put the TimeSpy & SteelNomad scores lol

[lone mango]

I think you need to take square pictures

[elfin mural]

don't need 3dmark scores

[lone mango]

You need fornite

[fresh timber]

b

[elfin mural]

normies have no idea what it means

[idle nexus]

supposedly they just made changes so pictures can be 4:3 or something

[fresh timber]

put fortnite fps

[lone mango]

how much fornite fps ?

[idle nexus]

lol heck I gotta install Fortnite on it ig

[elfin mural]

i mean it works

[idle nexus]

guess I gotta like take it out of the box & stuff

[elfin mural]

so might as well use it

[lone mango]

fps warzone ??

[fresh timber]

forntite

cod

valorant

[idle nexus]

I really wish I had a 240mm AIO for it

[elfin mural]

gta, csgo

cs2 i mean

[fresh timber]

nobody plays cs2

[elfin mural]

fair

[fresh timber]

well

[worn wave]

yeah main photo at least should probably be recropped

[idle nexus]

neither the 280 nor the 360 LF2 I have can fit with the GPU

[elfin mural]

me neither lol

[fresh timber]

the target audience doesnt

[lone mango]

Clearly this is not worth 700 because no rgb cooler

Sorry

[fresh timber]

i got lil ceasers

[idle nexus]

okay I'll find a stupid white wall & use more lights or something lol

[fresh timber]

its interesting

[fresh timber]

yeah we need to see her

[upper wedge]

Box came in a bit dented, still with organizer tag, no plastic wrap, the static bag is missing tape & is cut in half basically, so go for something factory reconditioned to be labeled by woot as “basically new” 💔

[lone mango]

And square aspect ratio

[upper wedge]

Oh ya, no packing material

[fresh timber]

the cables look ulgy

[wary fjord]

You got 5090 yet @idle nexus

[idle nexus]

lol nah

[fresh timber]

his wife would kill him

[idle nexus]

which cables?

[fresh timber]

remove slack

[idle nexus]

all the purple ones?

oh just in general

[fresh timber]

good good, evreything is black and green to us

[dusk knot]

Hello, ladies

[fresh timber]

hi papi

[dusk knot]

😆

[idle nexus]

I mean you don't really see that most of the time but fair fair

[lone mango]

I think its good

[idle nexus]

I thought you meant the cable management. I was gonna get defensive lmao

[fresh timber]

Florida

[lone mango]

Just the picture is too zoomed in, aspect ratio needs to be changed thats all

[idle nexus]

I DID THE BEST I COULD WITH WHAT I HAD OKAY? lol

[fresh timber]

lemmie get an example

shots like this

[idle nexus]

oh wow ya look at those shelves with random plants

I should bring it to the beach & take some shots in the sand

[fresh timber]

not even

[frigid stag]

If mid looking pcs like that sell well, you can definitely sell a good looking pc easily

[fresh timber]

u just need lighting

[fresh timber]

i might buy that case

it looks nice

[upper rain]

i aspire to have rooms filled to the brim with carefully selected plants

[frigid stag]

Eh

The fish tank ones look better tbh

[fresh timber]

true

ima get a cheap fishtank when i get home

[lone mango]

Fish tanks are the unreal engine of computers

Just like how that engine keeps me appreciating what I play, those cases make me like itx even more

[idle nexus]

well if you're getting a case, don't get the case that PC is in

it's too small I hate it

[lone mango]

Brutal

[fresh timber]

oof

i just need to fit a 240mm aio and a rx6600 eagle

[idle nexus]

it looks so nice that you barely realize the glass panel is missing

[fresh timber]

thats on purpose

um chat

my pc idles at the same wattage as a 5090+9800x3d pc 😭

[royal crow]

Tf

[lone mango]

Is this windows

[idle nexus]

the Zalman S2-TG is kinda nice I dunno why lol

[fresh timber]

yes

[lone mango]

🦾

[idle nexus]

I don't even know what my idle wattage is

[dusk knot]

Now we wait for someone to recommend Lixus

[idle nexus]

am I at idle on Discord with Edge & HWiNFO open?

[nocturne flicker]

Heating element pc

[lone mango]

But everyone said they would switch to steam os :(

[nocturne flicker]

No

[frigid stag]

Someone selling a 5090 for 1500

[lone mango]

Everyone in the comments said so :(

[upper wedge]

Reselling value took a big time hit

[idle nexus]

lol ya for sure

[dusk knot]

I can't believe windows is holding back FPS!!!😤

[nocturne flicker]

Discord is the biggest one depending on what is on Edge

[lone mango]

I know they were just lying about it

[idle nexus]

5090 box with rocks in it $1500 obo

[frigid stag]

I’ll probably get jumped if I try and meet up with him to buy it

[fresh timber]

when i sell my 2nd pc should i, A reinvest the money back into selling pcs, or B buy ddr5

[lone mango]

You can buy a antistatic bag and most of it comes back

At least you have the box

My card has no box

It came in a bag in a box way too big for it

[idle nexus]

ehh GPU power rn is 67w & CPU PPT is 47w

[lone mango]

It wouldnt slot into the case because the pcie side bracket got bent by 1 or 2 degrees

Probably from shipping

[idle nexus]

that's like uh 114 or something

what's normal?

[lone mango]

And not including the rest of the system

[fresh timber]

and thats not including psu losses

[upper wedge]

Rip, I mean the box is dented and doesn’t have plastic wrap.. I lowkey wanted to say it was brand new 😭

[lone mango]

So like what, 160?

[upper wedge]

I mean what can factory reconditioned be perceived as anyways

[idle nexus]

I mean, I'd think that means that it was returned to the company who makes it & they had someone fix it

or is that refurbished

[fresh timber]

https://tenor.com/view/rage-bait-ragebait-unsuccessful-ragebait-unsuccessful-gif-15226495446096725932

[lone mango]

True but the box isnt that banged up. definitely open box though

[idle nexus]

what's the difference between reconditioned & refurbished lol

[fresh timber]

diffrent names?

[lone mango]

chat, what should i set my rgb to

[lone mango]

https://tenor.com/view/ragebait-meme-jjba-gif-4322638546229085656

[fresh timber]

we should have laws that require details on what was repaired

[idle nexus]

so ig refurbished doesn't include any actual repairs

[nocturne flicker]

We should require laws

[idle nexus]

just like dusting it or something I dunno

[nocturne flicker]

Yes

[idle nexus]

right to repair laws

[nocturne flicker]

All the laws

[fresh timber]

im hungry

feed me

[idle nexus]

I wanna re-bench my 12900K but I've been too lazy to take it out

[nocturne flicker]

Sorry there is a law against that

[idle nexus]

I've never run it on my Apex with A-die before

[fresh timber]

i want a 14700k

[frigid stag]

Apparently some games will do this

[trail nest]

chat! can i run witcher 4 on my rtx 3050???

[frigid stag]

12 gen might be the way

[nocturne flicker]

This is a known thing

[idle nexus]

Fartnite gave me a notification once that my GPU driver was known to be borked or something

[nocturne flicker]

Has been for a while

[frigid stag]

It’s annoying

[fresh timber]

honestly devs are nice for doing that

[frigid stag]

You should be able to click “don’t ask me again”

[idle nexus]

I've been on 566.36 driver for months now

[frigid stag]

Accept the disclaimer warning and whatever and that’s that

[idle nexus]

unless they're gonna buy you a new CPU they should shut up lol

[nocturne flicker]

There is one simple trick to stop the warning

[fresh timber]

who wnats my 14900k

[idle nexus]

I have 13900KS which is same thing really lol

my 13900KS sucks

heckin won't POST 8800

piece of crap

[fresh timber]

i just want a faster cpu just to buy stuff

[dusk knot]

Hmm

[nocturne flicker]

I give potato yes. Potato strong

Potato fast

Only 1/4th potato though. I've been reminded to play hardball

[fresh timber]

its crazy how a 9070xt is a midrange gpu being paired with a high end 9800x3d

[proud jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/bocchi-hitori-goto-depressed-bocchi-the-rock-gif-27672004

[frigid stag]

I’m sure there’s a way to get rid of it in the game config files

[nocturne flicker]

Probably

Some code somewhere in the files that runs a bios check

[fresh timber]

9070xt+4080

[dusk knot]

9070xt is low end now

[fresh timber]

im upset about that

[dusk knot]

5090 is mid range

[fresh timber]

but its a gpu ima be keeping for a while

[dusk knot]

And rtx 6000 is high end

Hahaaha

[elfin mural]

then my 4050 is potato

[fresh timber]

9070xt is alot faster than the 7700xt i used to use

[dusk knot]

A pea

[fresh timber]

ill wait for next genertion

[dusk knot]

You want to upgrade every gen?

[fresh timber]

i kinda did

i went from rdna2-rdna4

rx6600, rx7700xt, rx9070xt

[dusk knot]

Hm

[fresh timber]

i never had rdna1

but its useless to me rn

[dusk knot]

Same

[fresh timber]

i upgraded my cpu once

[dusk knot]

I entered PC gaming in 2016, and used it till 2020

Trash laptop

[fresh timber]

i went from a 11600k to a 13600kf and people said it wouldnt be a major diffrence they lied to me

its ALOT faster

idk what they are talking about

[dusk knot]

Who are these people?

[fresh timber]

people in other serevrs, mainly the server of the youtuber known as greg salazar

[nocturne flicker]

Mmm. 2015 for desktop. I went FX

[fresh timber]

"13600kf isnt much faster"

lies

in video games let me tell you.. in forntite i more than DOUBLED my fps

[dusk knot]

Damn. How did that treat you?

[fresh timber]

i dont htink thats "much fastre"

[nocturne flicker]

It was fine for what I was doing at the time

[dusk knot]

Wegg best

[nocturne flicker]

I mostly player Total War Med2 on it

I had a laptop too and ended up using that more tbh

[dusk knot]

Then we both outgrew our laptops

[fresh timber]

\lol if it wasnt for my dad i wo uldnt have a 9070xt rn

i didnt buy it 👅

[nocturne flicker]

Built new PC during COVID

Bought a 3600xt, sold it for most of what I bought it for and got a 5600x

[idle nexus]

make sure TVB enabled in BIOS

[fresh timber]

i wish AMD had founders cards

[fresh timber]

im not home rn to check 😦

im at my dads rn 👅

[nocturne flicker]

5600x from a sketchy ebay site for a Chinese clothing store in California

[idle nexus]

I went 10900K>5900x>12900K>7900X3D

for daily

more CPUs in there for heckin

[fresh timber]

you guys think amd will find a way to run fsr4 with out FP8 so rdna3 can run it too

[idle nexus]

CPUs I've had or still have... I think I have all of them except the 11600K I broke

[fresh timber]

Do I

[lone mango]

Bro downvoted and said do i

[hoary zodiac]

Get out ebay'd

[lone mango]

i dont need this

obscene amount of ports

[idle nexus]

some laptops on shopgoodwill are just like, whatever just pay for like shipping ig

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah I know

[fresh timber]

Would it piss you off if we was playing Mario kart and I used a bunch of unintentional shortcuts

[lone mango]

Nah i would be like damn he know how to get to 1st fasho

[fresh timber]

I kinda wanna learn the shortcuts to beat my family

[lone mango]

sotru

[nocturne flicker]

They know it is junk

[idle nexus]

here get this cuz it looks like it goes with that https://shopgoodwill.com/item/232016280

[hoary zodiac]

I bought one more mini pc just to use up more ports

[lone mango]

[hoary zodiac]

Too big for apartment lab sadly

[fresh timber]

I want a rack mount case with hdd bays in front, I just have no space

[hoary zodiac]

My plan is just to get a server chassis and chuck a sas external HBA on my nas

And then hook them up

[lone mango]

https://computers.woot.com/offers/gigabyte-b650i-aorus-ultra-mini-itx-am5-mobo-1?ref=w_cnt_wp_1_4

[fresh timber]

Do you plug hba into ever hdd or is their a controller you plug into that each hdd connects to

[hoary zodiac]

What

[fresh timber]

How do you connect motherboard to server grade nas Chassie

[idle nexus]

a microphone is one of those things I wouldn't want to get used

[hoary zodiac]

Huh????

[idle nexus]

like someone was like having constant intimate moments with that

sorry looking at junk on shopgoodwill

[hoary zodiac]

That's what the HBA is for?

🤨

[nocturne flicker]

🤨

[idle nexus]

lol what's HBA again?

[misty sparrow]

One example:

[hoary zodiac]

Host bus adaptor

[idle nexus]

are you on Etsy? lmao

[hoary zodiac]

Basically just lets you hook up drives in different ways

[nocturne flicker]

Goodwill

[idle nexus]

Etsy has some random good stuff people make

most of it is silly

[lone mango]

Go kinda hard

[nocturne flicker]

That was an actual product at some point

[hoary zodiac]

You can have hbas with internal ports, external ports, or both

[idle nexus]

like paws for a coolermaster case or something

[lone mango]

I wouldnt buy it

[rancid juniper]

stupid configuration man

[lone mango]

$50 is like me filling up twice

[fresh timber]

But how does hba connect to drives

Is their a back plane

[lone mango]

there

[fresh timber]

Huh,
It’s 32gb

How is that stupid

[idle nexus]

lmao https://www.etsy.com/listing/1552627931/laptop-desk-designed-for-lying-down?

[misty sparrow]

Is this in USD? What the hell

[hoary zodiac]

There are multiple ways you can connect HBA to drives

[rancid juniper]

HX 370 should've been on its own

[hoary zodiac]

You run the cable to the drives

[rancid juniper]

yea

[hoary zodiac]

Get a breakout cable

And then that goes into the drives

[fresh timber]

Hub

[misty sparrow]

Oh it’s the CPU

Still pricey as hell

[fresh timber]

Sounds like sas

[idle nexus]

etsy be like

[fresh timber]

I like sas

[hoary zodiac]

You're not going to have a billion cables running from the HBA to the enclosure so

[fresh timber]

I’m ngl I thought you was

😭

That’s how my nas runs but it’s consumer crap

[hoary zodiac]

That's the whole point

[idle nexus]

okay this goes kinda hard https://www.etsy.com/listing/1497195106/wall-computer-case-wall-mountable-pc?

why my embeds always fail

[rancid juniper]

why are they so pricey?

why cant it be around $650

😭

[nocturne flicker]

Wait a minute

Who donated that

[fresh timber]

@idle nexus where can I get different colors printed

[idle nexus]

ram fan?

[rancid juniper]

yes]

[nocturne flicker]

This is literally the model we use at our store

[idle nexus]

those come off that easily??

[fresh timber]

They are connected with magnets

[idle nexus]

which GPU is that?

[lone mango]

Aint that one of those fan attachments for your desk

[idle nexus]

oh that's pretty cool

[lone mango]

I think noctua showed that for like $80

[fresh timber]

9070xt quicksilver

[idle nexus]

it's magnetic so you can do stuff and things I dunno lol

[dense locust]

that would be nice for cleaning

and nothing else

[fresh timber]

I have the Stl file for the “wings”

[fresh timber]

And replacing the fans

When they die pop it out and replace it

[hoary zodiac]

I need compute more than I need storage tbh

[nocturne flicker]

I wonder how much a POS terminal nets a business for a donation tax write off

[dense locust]

how do the fans spin?

[hoary zodiac]

I mean... I don't need more compute

[dense locust]

do they use electro magnets?

[misty sparrow]

Honestly if I was running a thrift store and somebody donated a POS terminal I’d start using it

[hoary zodiac]

I have a total of 4 active cores on my setup

It's gonna be 16 soon

[dense locust]

or just receive power through magnets

[nocturne flicker]

Someone put a bid in on it

So I guess somebody wants it

[fresh timber]

Pogo pins

[dense locust]

lame

they should rotate the fans with a changing magnetic field

it would be cool

[velvet summit]

modern version is forced heated air and works a fair bit better

[dense locust]

i pick up my switch 2

tomorrow

[lone mango]

Fr especially since its $200 over

A nuclear reactor core should be inside of it or something

[misty sparrow]

Oh hell no you actually bought one?

[dense locust]

wouldnt that make the fans almost last forever

[idle nexus]

those fans are pretty cool. I'm surprised there aren't random color options lol

[dense locust]

the day preorders started

[velvet summit]

lets all collectively point and laugh at them

its my deltarune machine

[upper rain]

gas and eggs are getting cheaper where i'm at but some of my aliexpress chineseum is going up

[velvet summit]

deltarune machine also known as a pc

it's not even an exclusive

[dense locust]

where's the fun in that

[upper rain]

fortunately my mother has Vine, so i get my cheap chineseum garbage through her now

[idle nexus]

frustrating

[misty sparrow]

deltarune machine also known as a steam deck (it’s $50 cheaper)

[icy ore]

Vine rip

[idle nexus]

my house is littered with it

[dense locust]

the switch 2 will sell more than the steam deck in 1 day

switch 2 version has some special thing with the mouse

[idle nexus]

random Chinese light fixtures & crap lol

[lone mango]

radioactive chinesium sludge

[misty sparrow]

Oh it will, doesn’t make it better

Ayoo

[dense locust]

why can you preorder it only on switch 2

[upper rain]

[hoary zodiac]

We use Centimetres around here

[fresh timber]

Why are my temps higher with fans

[dense locust]

and nowhere else

[upper rain]

wdym

[dense locust]

i assume thats deltarune

[misty sparrow]

The Wii had motion controls that was useful because it was baked into every game and was unique

Switch 1 had detachable controllers you could play with friends

Switch 2 has…mouse mode?

[nocturne flicker]

EVGA GTX 260 too

[idle nexus]

I wonder how quick someone yuzus the switch 2

[hoary zodiac]

Yes

[fresh timber]

I add two 140mm fans to my pc and my 9070xt can hit 100c now

[dense locust]

https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/deltarune-switch-2/

[misty sparrow]

All it does is increase joycon pricing to a stupidly high degree

[upper rain]

i have like four of those all dead. one of them is my warm up PCB for when i haven't soldered in a while

[dense locust]

you cant even preorder the switch 1 version lmao

[misty sparrow]

Like $90 for a pair of those damn things

[hoary zodiac]

My switch can't run deltarune

[upper rain]

hotspot or edge?

[idle nexus]

switch 2 first scandal: mouse drift

[lone mango]

Probably turbulent air is messing up airflow

[dense locust]

ill tell y'all how unconfortable the mouse mode is

[lone mango]

Sometimes more fans are not better

[tranquil pebble]

switch 2 first scandal: existing

[upper rain]

i simply disagree

[nocturne flicker]

Library Of Congress Talking Book Player For The Blind 🤨

[fresh timber]

Hotspot

[idle nexus]

it's true

[lone mango]

Nah its true

[idle nexus]

I added some 80mm fans to a case once

just cuz there was space

[lone mango]

Mor is not always the answer

[upper rain]

tbh sounds not toally abnormal what was it before?

[idle nexus]

it did nothing

[upper rain]

i know but i disagree

i want to build a chiller so bad but i'm stupid

[nocturne flicker]

Somebody donated a book player from the Library of Congress

[idle nexus]

tbh it took me many pointless fan purchases to accept that rigging up a custom loop was the best way

[dense locust]

i run my pc with 3 exhaust fans

i am gamer

[upper rain]

same fan curve as before? i rememver you mentioned messing with fan speeds

[upper rain]

i run mine wirh a single nonfunctional exhaust

[fresh timber]

I didn’t change it

[upper rain]

but i make up for it by never having the side panel on

[misty sparrow]

You might as well donate street signs

[fresh timber]

It’s running what ever the driver tells it

[dense locust]

i ran it with no fans on day 1

[idle nexus]

my 12900K build has an external 280mm radiator

fans don't even really matter once you do that

[nocturne flicker]

And there is another POS terminal right below it on the page

[hoary zodiac]

Thanks

[nocturne flicker]

Goodwill has the most cursed auction page

I swear

[dense locust]

my god

[idle nexus]

that's like

[dense locust]

this is the first time i have ever seen anyone use that large of a qr code

[hoary zodiac]

It has the entire error log

[idle nexus]

QR encyclopedia

[dense locust]

well there was that one time someone programmed snake in one

but that doesnt count

[lone mango]

why not just have an error code

[upper rain]

no clue then unless your ptm job magically got screwy. probs just fan curve stuff. i recall you mentioning this

[idle nexus]

I tried to sniper like 30 seconds before bidding ended & couldn't get the bid in on time somehow

[lone mango]

idk i guess this is better

[hoary zodiac]

It is

You can just scan it

And see what went wrong

[idle nexus]

it probably rick rolls you

[upper rain]

anyways tho i have to get to sleep, another 4am workday and i've got obligations after i get off too

sleepy hours. gn gamers

[idle nexus]

gn

[idle nexus]

if you were thinking of trying something like this to improve GPU thermals, don't bother. It didn't work for me

[dense locust]

i see your issue

[fresh timber]

Yeah I can do that after I force the case fans to run 100%

[dense locust]

you dont have enough rgb

[hoary zodiac]

That top gpu is choked as hell

[upper rain]

pointing a fan in the opposite direction as the air flows

[fresh timber]

If vase cans run low rpm the gpu gets chocked like it wasn’t already chocked before

[fresh timber]

That’s not much

[hoary zodiac]

Unironically a blower would run cooler

[fresh timber]

More airflow made my oc worst

[dense locust]

im happy with my build

[upper rain]

tbh probs put some PTM on it if you haven't yet 😭💔

[dense locust]

even if its missmatched

[fresh timber]

It is ptm 😭😭

[fresh timber]

Show it

[dense locust]

i put ptm on my pc

i removed the cooler and reput it on

im sure its fine

[upper rain]

check ur mounting pressure i only see >90C hotspots when i push like 450w at 1.35v lmfao

[dense locust]

[nocturne flicker]

Oh and there is a Snoop Dogg record in the electronics section

[idle nexus]

this was also an issue

i forget which AIB model did tou get? not the GOC like i suggested right?

inwish somebody would do that to me ngl

[lone mango]

these are pretty good for $10 fans

[dense locust]

yet sony's consoles are overheating

might just be a meh cooler but it os what it is. PTM will probs help, more fan speed will help. idk why its randomly a bunch worse than before

[fresh timber]

It’s cute

[dense locust]

ima just move the fans underneith where you cant see them and buy some new fans

[fresh timber]

Darn, airflow bad

[idle nexus]

my hotspot is same as your hotspot at 817w

[dense locust]

would be cool if i could see my hotspot

but Nvidia moment

[idle nexus]

lol those guys

[nocturne flicker]

Pog, two packs of 2x2gb DDR2 ram

Oh wait, Corsair

But factory sealed

[misty sparrow]

Sorry, not a goth person

The answer’s no

[dense locust]

i mean the case will still be blue

and the rgb will be set to blue

[idle nexus]

"our hotspot temps are consistently really high." "eh, just remove that sensor ez... actually remove that & any sensors you were planning for the 12vhpwr connection"

[fresh timber]

Hwinfo

[dense locust]

and the ram will be white since... i aint buying 64 more gb to make it all black

[dense locust]

thats not the issue

[misty sparrow]

My ass thought you meant if EVERYTHING in your room was literally all black

I prefer all white for this kind of thing but black would work too

[dense locust]

well my gpu and motherboard are already dark so

white motherboards are already rare enough

dear lord thats some expensive ram for that speed and size

[misty sparrow]

but it is in blue

you never see blue ram these days

[idle nexus]

lol yes. yes it is

its half blue

ill rather just spray paint my ram blue at this point

my ram looks ok

[idle nexus]

I like it too when it's not silly expensive

[dense locust]

i bought a screen protector for my switch 2

[lone mango]

Yeah thats like double price

[dense locust]

amazon sent me an empty envelope

cool

[misty sparrow]

Did you really buy it for deltarune though

the switch 2

[dense locust]

yes

what else will i play on it?

[idle nexus]

so far this is all I've found for blue RAM. You'd have to delid current RAM https://www.amazon.com/Radiator-Cooler-Desktop-Memory-Cooling/dp/B0FBG45ZVK?

all you need is like 4-5 Pokemon cards, a razor blade, & some patience

[dense locust]

[nocturne flicker]

Hold up

[dense locust]

im good

[nocturne flicker]

No

This can't

[idle nexus]

these are a little nicer lol https://www.amazon.com/DVNXDPXJ-Memory-Cooler-Aluminum-Color/dp/B0D4DD385G?

who stole that and gave it to goodwill

[idle nexus]

lol goodwill accepting it is kinda questionable

[lone mango]

Lmfao

[misty sparrow]

uhh, Fortnite?

[nocturne flicker]

They can't keep getting away with it

[lone mango]

[misty sparrow]

I don’t know

[idle nexus]

Fortnite on Nintendo Switch 1 is absolutely terrible

I tried

[misty sparrow]

I was able to win a match but that’s probably because they put bots in

[idle nexus]

like it's so low fps derp

[misty sparrow]

Basically low end smartphone level quality

never really use my switch that much either the games couldn’t hold me

[idle nexus]

I used mine for Pokemon Sword & that's about it

even that was a low fps nightmare lol

[misty sparrow]

They really dropped the ball on Pokémon

How do they still sell well really

[idle nexus]

Mario Kart is alright & so is Mario Party

[misty sparrow]

Every new release is like ARK on crack

[nocturne flicker]

Cult

[idle nexus]

I swear Switch is even worse docked than handheld

[dense locust]

mario kart looks like just another mario kart

its not worth $80

[misty sparrow]

Well you are blowing up bad graphics on a bigger screen

[nocturne flicker]

How

[idle nexus]

lol 1080p on like TVs bigger than 55" is questionable ig

[idle nexus]

ngl, not sure lol

[fresh timber]

Bids too high

[idle nexus]

slim fans are usually kinda expensive

[nocturne flicker]

Dude, 10tb Ironwolfs are like 200+

[dense locust]

someone say slime?

oh nvm

[idle nexus]

my guess is because they're usually used in those heckin SFF builds that I'm pretty sure the SFF cases cost more than not SFF cases

[fresh timber]

I notice

[idle nexus]

or maybe supply & demand I dunno

[idle nexus]

maybe you're approaching this problem wrong

[fresh timber]

140mm don’t push a lot if air using my hand test

[idle nexus]

instead of trying to pack in fans & what not, just get a bigger case?

isn't a decent case like $80-$100ish?

[nocturne flicker]

And that is a current model

[idle nexus]

i.e., ~6 slim fans? lol

[fresh timber]

Alr did that

You forget I have multiply pcs

[idle nexus]

lol do it again then donate the case to goodwill or sell it or something before you go & make a third PC

I know how it starts trust me

[fresh timber]

I’m selling tbe 2nd

[idle nexus]

when I got the amazing opportunity to buy an RTX3060 off newegg shuffle in 2021, I had to buy it with a B550 Strix motherboard

before I knew what happened, I bought a 5900x, a new case, & all sorts of other crap lol

[nocturne flicker]

Actually that has an expired warranty, so 5+ years old. Still sealed tho

[fresh timber]

I want to it a 5090

[dense locust]

did people really buy 3060 for 1k back then?

[misty sparrow]

Miners were desperate

[idle nexus]

your side fans are pushing air out; your top fans are pushing air out, & you have one bottom fan... also pushing air out? are these reverse blades?
