How fast is your internet?

yo waddup weary

[nocturne flicker]

Hi

[tranquil pebble]

Nope, the BE in the model name indicates 802.11be, aka Wifi 7

[remote geode]

I'm looking at the wrong spec sheets online XD

[tranquil pebble]

Routers often have the Wifi spec as part of the model name

[slate fractal]

[tranquil pebble]

ngl though, the 5 GHz on 802.11be is kind of nuts. My phone gets close to a 2.5 gigabit LAN link speed

[misty sparrow]

hello

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-stormtrooper-sand-beach-gif-19882807

[tranquil pebble]

I wonder how bad a 5090 would perform running in PCIe 1.0 x1

[mental yoke]

morning naht

free 5090s for everyone day?

https://tenor.com/view/oprah-winfrey-gif-24849663

[mental yoke]

nice castle

[rigid sinew]

good morning

[rigid sinew]

if i was rich maybe

[mental yoke]

one day soon i feel it

[tranquil pebble]

with a 5090 I would do dumb things... like try finding the absolute highest resolution it could hand for minecraft texture packs

someone should make a miku themed laser pointer and call it miku miku beam

[misty sparrow]

miku themed flashlight that has an insane amount of lumens

[velvet summit]

Based

[mental yoke]

it could use some super sophisticated ai optical sensor to give everyone it illuminate miku pigtails

like augmented reality on crack

i had this little carpenter bee in my attic and being the good buddhist i am threw it in a jar to put it outside and when i was screaming “dont sting me little bee” and shaking the har it just flew. straight at me.

[dusk knot]

You know...

[mental yoke]

lern 2maf

[dusk knot]

Oh god

[mental yoke]

is weird tho, they say why?

[worn wave]

iOS 26 = 2026 (though it'll be released 2025, similar to car models)

Helps better gauge how old a given update is I guess

[mental yoke]

makes sense i was thinking the iphone model is going to councide with the macos ver. soon too

my iphone 20 on ios 20

[frigid stag]

Who tf makes these names

[dense locust]

“Liquid glass”

I’m sorry that’s a stupid name

[tranquil pebble]

that is called molten glass and touching it would be bad for one's health

[misty sparrow]

who actually thought the naming scheme of iOS was confusing

now the version number looks wrong

[mental yoke]

yea it is kinda…

[misty sparrow]

they pulled a Samsung

[thorn quartz]

hm

[tacit quiver]

WELCOME BACK SKEUOMORPHISM!

macos tahoe so beautiful im gonna cry

IPADOS OMGGGG

im geeked

im sold on a 13" m4 ipad pro now

[sinful blade]

That’s suspect

[misty sparrow]

roomba

how is your pc doing

[dense locust]

Can iPad play multiple audio sources now?

[mental yoke]

into or out

but i wouldnt know either answer so nvm

[upper wedge]

my 7800xt pulse for $440? Some guy is coming to pick it up in an hour

Ngl I wanted 500 but what can i do

[worn wave]

ebay does have a 13.5% cut

[upper wedge]

I was going to say ya

So it’s certainly fair but

[tacit quiver]

this is insane

[mental yoke]

440 looks like a great deal with those on ebay

[upper wedge]

They get like 470ish

[upper wedge]

Mines on marketplace too

[worn wave]

440 seems a tad low tbh

[mental yoke]

its not bad but if its all completely digital… eh

[upper wedge]

I had it listed for 550, nobody viewed it

Put it to 515, people started lowballing

I have the 4070ti S too to sell

[misty sparrow]

does this also include drivers licenses?

[tacit quiver]

doesnt look like drivers license

[mental yoke]

ive seen some states

so it depends on ur locale

[tacit quiver]

i know they were rolling out digital drivers license to a few states but this seems to be like a federal-level thing

[mental yoke]

theyve had that ezpass for awhile same thing basically

[tacit quiver]

they shoulda named it macOS 26 Tahoe, not macOS Tahoe 26

[misty sparrow]

background is just the Chevrolet Tahoe

[tacit quiver]

pretty different, they claim digital id can be used at TSA checkpoints

[mental yoke]

chevy tahoe in lake tahoe

[mental yoke]

thats where that ezpass is used, i meant the global access stuff my bad

i know ezpass is road garbage

https://tenor.com/view/multipass-gif-9536054

it would just suck if its all digital and ur phone die but people lose their physical copies so its not like anything is perfect

[sinful blade]

My power is currently out so idk

[upper wedge]

Should I do it or nah?

I’ve had it listed on r/hardwareswap

I could list on jawa

[mental yoke]

u gonna make an extra 20 bucks and feel that much better?

[frigid stag]

Wtf is this

[upper wedge]

I got the card for about $400 back when I first got it

So yes

[frigid stag]

It looks like they made the object in the icon bigger and blurrier

[worn wave]

if you had it listed for 515 and he offered 440, counter for 470

[mental yoke]

i wish i could modify the apps more like with android i can grab nova or something

but mac locks the apps layout down

[frigid stag]

There are ways people do it on ios

[worn wave]

the cards are going for like 530 on ebay so after fees you'd get 480ish

[frigid stag]

450 seems fair

[mental yoke]

im interested

[frigid stag]

Yeah I’m not sure there’s different icon packs and such but some are glitchy

[tacit quiver]

bro said "wtf is this" and posted peak 😭

[mental yoke]

nah im trying to put like 500 apps on one screen

[tacit quiver]

THE NEW CAMERA ICON LOOKS LIKE IOS 6 OMGGGG https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/logopedia/images/c/c1/IOS-5-Features-Enhanced-Camera-App-2.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130610235632

[frigid stag]

It looks like they made the objects in the icons bigger and blurred + rounded corners

[mental yoke]

that?

[frigid stag]

I guess that’s the one redeeming factor

[worn wave]

I think the blur is just stream compression

[mental yoke]

flourescent green suit with lava boots taking a selfie on a volcano

[tacit quiver]

the icons looks awesome

[frigid stag]

I don’t even know how to explain it

It looks fake

[tacit quiver]

its giving jaguar rebrand

[tacit quiver]

its very windows 7/vista and like mac OSX-esque and i love that

[dense locust]

That camera icon does not fit the rest of the icons

Looks out of place

[frigid stag]

This looks nothing like older Mac OS

[mental yoke]

i hate the photos icon personally

[frigid stag]

I’ve used it, this looks like a really really cheap tweak on the new icons

[tacit quiver]

hence the esque

[frigid stag]

Looks like some iPhone you’d buy from wish in 2019

[tacit quiver]

ya photos icon looks a bit goofy

[frigid stag]

With fake os and everything

[dense locust]

Did they fix the photos app?

[mental yoke]

they talking iphone17?

[frigid stag]

Just goes to show you can’t try and mix “retro” tints on new design

Its like putting lipstick on a pig

[frigid stag]

What’s wrong with it

[dense locust]

I hate it

Requires more effort to do things you could do before

lol

[mental yoke]

reminds me of win 11 where i have three setting menus to go through now instead of just going straight to control panel

[frigid stag]

It works fine for me 🤷 maybe I figured it out

[mental yoke]

pinning control panel is easy but its just apparent

[worn wave]

windows key > type "cont" > hit enter

maybe just type con or co if you don't have ubisoft connect like I do

[mental yoke]

oled runs cooler then other panels eh?

[tacit quiver]

16gb update whew

i will be installing immediately

got my mac and ipad updating rn too

i think it was kinda overlooked but PSVR2 Controller support for visionOS is huge

not that theres really a $3,500 gaming VR headset market but it enables that now! but also just more precise control compared to hand tracking

as good as hand tracking may be, controllers with buttons still reign supreme for vr

somebody respond rn i need someone to geek out over software updates with.

[lone mango]

Nah you were using something like 65w

and pbo basically removes the power limit

[mental yoke]

oh i should go install, is live now?

[mental yoke]

🎉

😿

[tacit quiver]

dev beta is out, must have a dev account ($99/yr subscription)

i have a dev account 😛

[mental yoke]

ah

[tacit quiver]

(i use the dev account for reasons other than getting software updates early lol)

but it is a nice benefit!

designed to give devs access to new features early to optimize their apps

[mental yoke]

whens it coming to the plebs?

[misty sparrow]

I might get the iOS 26 beta since I’m on iOS 18 beta

[tacit quiver]

i believe public beta is out in a couple months

[worn wave]

Or be on the public beta for many years (me)

[tacit quiver]

full release comes fall

[mental yoke]

oh ew

[tacit quiver]

oh does it let you do that?

[worn wave]

Yeah I forget how long it is, maybe 5 years?

[tacit quiver]

ive been beta testing iOS since like forever

i probably had access to that too 😭 but now i have an actual dev account too

going so sloowwww

[worn wave]

Oh apparently as of 2023 you can get a free dev account as well

Just has less features than the subscription

[misty sparrow]

yeah, you need it to install AltStore

[lone mango]

I just wanted to update cachy because I didnt use it for like a month or two

sad

[mental yoke]

that poor miku looks so happy

[misty sparrow]

this is basically an AA game with a huge budget

why does it cost this much

[nocturne flicker]

'Making game so expensive, give $80 for a digital license for a game that has no other costs associated with it besides dev, $2 for advertisement and the standard Steam cut"

[mental yoke]

outer worlds kinda sucked didn’t it?

every time i saw some one playing it it looked meh

[tranquil pebble]

can get a 1 TB NVMe for this much, maybe even less

[lone mango]

Def less

32 gigs of ram or game

hmm

[misty sparrow]

I can get that 32GB ram combo off of Woot for $80

[nocturne flicker]

Don't even have brick and mortar and physical merchandise expenses anymore yet game companies are crying about how they don't have enough profit

[misty sparrow]

i don't know if DDR5 32GB RAM is worth that much, but just saying

[upper rain]

she is getting a bath

[tranquil pebble]

Well, $100 got me 48 GB of DDR5 SODIMMs

[upper rain]

she is happy to be cleaned

most on this server would not know anything about this, being smelly gamers and such

[tranquil pebble]

and I dont mean $199, I mean like $103

[misty sparrow]

was it on sale?

[mental yoke]

cant win if ur busy washing ur butt

[tranquil pebble]

probably considering the 32 GB kit was only $3 less

and I am just thinking no way in hell am I giving up that much RAM to save $3

[misty sparrow]

32GB RAM and one 20oz soda

[remote geode]

hnggg

16tb

and then the sas card for 20-30usd

[upper rain]

she looks like she approves of american corn dogs too ngl

[remote geode]

in reality I probably won't need that much storage but I can probably start hosting my own media server soon™️

since i only really need storage rn is for games

[tacit quiver]

ik its beta but it murdered my ipad and my apple tv 💀

[sinful blade]

[tacit quiver]

solid 2fps on both

That's a bunch of apps

I should buy Minecraft on iPad

[upper rain]

my ipad is older than most of my siblings, so this is just normal operation for me (actually better lol)

[tacit quiver]

fair loo

[upper rain]

it runs yt and stuff which is all i use it for, so i'm saving it from ewaste

[upper rain]

insightful

however they do not sell apples

so i must disagree

[tacit quiver]

interesting. they're enforcing uniform app icons in the dock now

spotify and alacritty used to be freeform shapes as icons

[lone mango]

[tacit quiver]

idk how i feel about that 🥀

[lone mango]

Probably to make it pop out less but why not just make the bar shorter

[nocturne flicker]

Except for the creatures that'll maul you for trying to pet them

[upper rain]

they're pettable too in the right environment

i've petted sharks before, i would like to pet big cats but that's much harder to arrange

[lone mango]

ig thats not so bad

[upper rain]

there are some unpettable creatures i give you that

but most can be petted

[lone mango]

its like that on the iphone

things are a little too transparent now

this is way too visually busy

[paper verge]

Corners are too rounded, opacity is too much, colors dont match

[tacit quiver]

i mean yeah first beta but this appears to be the design they're moving towards

kinda apprehensive

[paper verge]

this feels like 2017

where that whole glass morph thing kinda got popular with designers

interesting choice there

[tacit quiver]

nah this is like 2007

windows vista

widgets on the desktop

glass

anwyays i am hapy to report they fixed the photos app

[royal crow]

What's one ui 8 beta look like

[pliant berry]

the photo app was broken?

[tranquil pebble]

did a post just get deleted? or is my Discord being odd

[royal crow]

I deleted sm

I thought ghosty was replying to me fsr

[tacit quiver]

not broken, just had a lot of people upset with the ios18 design

[pliant berry]

oh ye

[tacit quiver]

it had this weird navigation that when you'd open the app you'd be sort of in the middle of the scroll

scroll down for collections, scroll up for your recent

it was weird tbh

the new ones has two tabs, recents and collections

[pliant berry]

I got used to it but yeah i don't like it

[tacit quiver]

i also got used to it

so now its fixed but im not used to it being fixed lol

widgets can go on the bottom now

which is lovely

within thumb reaching distance

[pliant berry]

oh that's fun

[tacit quiver]

(lmk if i should be quiet about the updates lol)

i love yapping about them

[pliant berry]

https://tenor.com/view/pop-cat-gif-4564454694708864673

[tacit quiver]

this is actually what im most excited for 😭

nothing pmo more than when im trying to check the time on my WATCH and then i get a notification and it blocks the time lol

[pliant berry]

should I get a apple watch, I thought about getting one again while i was hiking last week

[tacit quiver]

ehhhhhhh

50/50

[pliant berry]

I just don't love yet another thing you have to charge

[tacit quiver]

i really only wear mine to work so i can read messages without taking out my phone, but i did wear it when i went hiking a few weeks back

unfortunately mine is the SE 1st gen which is getting somewhat older at this point. the battery lasts only like 5 hours when im tracking a workout

no good for tracking a whole day hike

[tacit quiver]

and it also won't be receiving this software update ^

[misty sparrow]

If you don't care about exercise don't get an Apple Watch

[pliant berry]

yikes

[misty sparrow]

it really isn't worth it besides that

[tacit quiver]

i used to agree with this statement but if you're a watch wearing peson anyways, it can be nice

i woulnd't get an SE though. always on display would be my reason for upgrading

apple pay on the wrist is nice, messages and notifications while at work is nice

oh and also like unlocking mac with apple watch is kinda cool

[misty sparrow]

the bands are kind of expensive to be honest

[tacit quiver]

that is very true

[misty sparrow]

they all start at $50 and some go to $100

[tacit quiver]

im currently using a knockoff one from amazon, since apple doesn't make the alpine loop for 41mm size

(it was gifted to me lol)

[misty sparrow]

the most insane priced one is probably the braided solo loop brand. why the hell are they $100? makes no sense

they're not as detailed as stainless steel or some other bands

[tacit quiver]

i have a braided solo loop

in product red 💀

[misty sparrow]

same here

[tacit quiver]

big mistake

[pliant berry]

[misty sparrow]

woot sells those braided solo loops for dirt cheap

[tacit quiver]

if you do get an apple watch, get the silver. the space gray looks like trash

[tacit quiver]

the most insane priced ones are the hermes bands lol

[pliant berry]

yup

[misty sparrow]

going to an apple store in-person and looking at the watches themselves is probably the best choice

screen protector is a must too because these watches scratch too easily

[tacit quiver]

nah. silver always the answer 😛

[misty sparrow]

I got the product red variant of the watch

[tacit quiver]

i feel like the silver matches best with any band

[upper wedge]

240 for a 5060?

Is that any good?

8gb version

[misty sparrow]

that is below MSRP but nah

pass

[upper rain]

$140 maybe

i'd save the extra $100 and get a 9060 xt

[random temple]

guys why i can't checkout? should i wait for the shipment or what

[fresh timber]

5060 is the 5050

[sinful blade]

Seems like there’s a few errors being thrown atm. Send @digital thunder the error you’re encountering.

[frigid stag]

Why not

[upper wedge]

Tryna do a budget build for friend

[frigid stag]

It’s a good deal

Surprised how they’re 250 so fast

[lone mango]

Wait longer

What if 200

Nvidia would probably cut some production to not allow that

[upper rain]

yeah, but we just have to buckle up for the new normal tbh

not much that can be done

[fresh timber]

5500 stable at +200mhz pbo, and - 20 or -15

[upper rain]

wow, i bet it's as strong as a 3600 by now

that's cool, i wish AMD was a little more granular with PBO control

[fresh timber]

is it weird my fps is LOT better

like rivals i went from barley peaking 100fps to consistant 140

[upper rain]

yeah, but in a cool way

[fresh timber]

after this boost im ngl , i find this cpu satisfactory now

[upper rain]

satisfactory reference

[fresh timber]

i could get rid of my 13600kf

id be realitvly happy

i just want.. my ssdss

[upper rain]

and run the 5500? even with the 9070 xt?

that psu is going to catch fire

[lone mango]

Probably not

The guy said he got a sf1000 for the 5090 and had that with the 5070ti

Said its coming in the 1000 box because he threw out the 750 box after he got it

So I believe it

[fresh timber]

god i like the 9070xt

im using 100w and getting 200fps.. this has to be the most efficent pc

[lone mango]

My guess is you could be getting around 4 times that

[fresh timber]

13600kf 7700xt already gets 100-200 more

its going to be a cpu limit in dx11 performance mode

[lone mango]

Yeah its just that they push the clocks really aggressively so it can use a lot of power, but you can save so much with a proper undervolt

Welcome back vega 64

[fresh timber]

i dont think a undervolt will do anything

im not even at boost clock

im under base clock

[lone mango]

Oh I meant at full load

[fresh timber]

non of my games bring me to full load

[lone mango]

[worn wave]

9070xt and 5500 on Roblox and Minecraft 💀

Anything else?

4070 5700x3d

[fresh timber]

what do i do with the 7700xt

[fresh timber]

nvidia

[frigid stag]

Sell it

[worn wave]

Snagged the 4070 used for $400 right before the market went insane

[fresh timber]

should i fix the stripped screwwws and paste or nah

[fresh timber]

9060xt price

[lone mango]

Even cheaper fr

[fresh timber]

should have waited

[worn wave]

4070 is faster than 9060xt though?

[fresh timber]

9060xt is alot cheaper

and pretty similar

[lone mango]

yeah

[fresh timber]

ok i need a screw extractor

only 19% diffrnce, i wonder what 9060xt can OC to

[worn wave]

cheapest *16gb 9060xt is like $390

[fresh timber]

@upper rain

also what card

yeah lordfoog

ur modding its not

no oc is technicly safe

atleast the poo models are staying at the poo price

noo

half the vram, more than half the performance

[worn wave]

Same cores afaik

[fresh timber]

oh they are excatly the same gpu

[worn wave]

Just 1/2 the vram

[fresh timber]

every single spec is the same besides vram

[worn wave]

They make a good point lol

[fresh timber]

shut the 9070xt

[frigid stag]

It’s an older post but they’re back at the same price they were back then now

So it’s accurate

[fresh timber]

i unironicly want a 2080ti

do i bid

[worn wave]

You want everything you see

[fresh timber]

i want 3060s, 2080ti, 5950x, 14700k

i also want haven420

[lone mango]

yeah

[fresh timber]

[sinful blade]

If someone were to gift me a 2080ti, I would fly to them and give them the sloppie- never mind

[lone mango]

[frigid stag]

Sloppy joe?

[fresh timber]

@frigid stag

[sinful blade]

Yeah sure that’s what I meant

[fresh timber]

what would mr roomba do for a 4090?

[sinful blade]

You don’t wanna know

[fresh timber]

does ur wife know 🤔

[sinful blade]

She also doesn’t want to know

[fresh timber]

as long as she dosent know i guess

[frigid stag]

I’m trying to meet this guy for a 5090 for 1400

[fresh timber]

...

[sinful blade]

Sometimes

[fresh timber]

if i bought that i would be obligated to waterloop it

is this normal

[sinful blade]

Do it in front of a business

[fresh timber]

why is it missing a chip

[sinful blade]

Never in a place with no cameras

[upper rain]

just use an xoc vbios on one of those

[fresh timber]

oHHH SHOOT

[upper rain]

shunt mod, 1kw vbios, no difference really

[fresh timber]

the 2080ti is a 11gb card cause nvidia was lazy and didnt feel like putting a extra chip on it

lmfaooo

[upper rain]

they both accomplish the same thing. in fact iirc the xoc vbios for 2080 ti is even slightly more useful, as it has a slightly higher voltage limit vs what was used on 'real' launch vbios

[fresh timber]

@upper rain xfx gave my gpu a dual bios with both being identical... i think they are tleling me something

i think they are telling me to flash a better bios

[upper rain]

external bios flasher, shorting pins. they accomplish the same, the latter just gives you a higher limit. do as you please

[sinful blade]

I wanna have a custom water loop gpu in my stacker, but the issue is the original drive bay has no where to secure my actual case fan. It just sits there, chillin

[fresh timber]

im not doing anythign until i get a screw driver to remove the back panel

i cant even show u the PCB

IT SSTUCK

ok lord foog i need ur recomendation for stripped gpu screws

how to remove

[sinful blade]

There is no actual way to keep it other than just sitting on top of the single hard drive tray left

[upper rain]

dab of super glue, hold the screwdriver really still so it sticks

if it's really really in there then you can dremel a notch to grip with your driver

[fresh timber]

me no haev dreamal 😦

ima find super glue

[upper rain]

faster the cure the better

[sinful blade]

Do not use hot glue

Pro tip

[upper rain]

yeah lmao

[fresh timber]

shut up

u know i did that

[upper rain]

pfft you did?

how did that go lol

[fresh timber]

yes i was depsrate

[fresh timber]

im still asking, what do you think

[sinful blade]

I am speaking from experience

[upper rain]

about what? sorry i missed the question

[fresh timber]

if i get his backplate off ill order new screws

[fresh timber]

how to remove the screws

[upper rain]

oh lol

yeah super glue is my go to

[fresh timber]

i just need it to get loose

[upper rain]

you can even glue another piece onto the screw which you can then unscrew- like glueing a screwhead onto your stripped screwhead lel

[fresh timber]

its tight rn

[upper rain]

you just need a way to get a grip basically

[fresh timber]

screw a screw on a screw..

smart

[upper rain]

it's screwy

[fresh timber]

my bad

[misty sparrow]

you scammed me

[fresh timber]

We have no super glue

Ima order glue

Which do h recommend

[wary fjord]

epoxy

[icy ore]

I am inept at using super glue

[wary fjord]

if that dont bond i dont know

[icy ore]

I cannot use it without getting it on my fingers

[wary fjord]

epoxy > Loctite > gorilla

[fresh timber]

This?

I can get it before Father’s Day

[wary fjord]

be careful on that smells strong.

[fresh timber]

Is that good tho

[wary fjord]

rip skins also

maybe what material u trying to bind

[fresh timber]

A screw

[wary fjord]

hell no

u dont use glue for a screw

u buy a new screw

[fresh timber]

i need to get the screw rout

did u read the chat before saying epoxy

im trying to get a gpu scrwe out so i can replace it

[wary fjord]

then u buying wrong product

[wary fjord]

Screw Extractor is better

[fresh timber]

im doing everything i can before i bust out power tools

[lone mango]

Pretty sure a thin, tiny band can provide the needed grip

[wary fjord]

i dont know if theres Screw Extractor for that small

[lone mango]

Just need to press hard

[fresh timber]

the band broke

i tried that

it broke

[lone mango]

[wary fjord]

ow i have idea

u know how to solder?

[fresh timber]

we have a iron

i know u melt rod

thats it

[wary fjord]

i did that trick before on a phone

hahaha

[fresh timber]

u want me to solder a sacrifical screw?

[wary fjord]

u solder on it and rotate it

hehehe

[fresh timber]

oo

i juts need solder

we have ht eiron

thi should be fine right

[wary fjord]

no

i think

[fresh timber]

its cheap

😦

[wary fjord]

thats for xD metal thingy

[fresh timber]

isnt tht how you bond the scrwe to what ever ur using to get it out

this is wayy better than screw extractors

[wary fjord]

wait nvm

[sinful blade]

If your case is really cold, floral wire is nice to bind cords in the back

[wary fjord]

buy a flux also

[fresh timber]

flux

[wary fjord]

yes

[fresh timber]

do u neeeed it

[wary fjord]

so it binds faster

else ull get a clamp of cold ugly one

[fresh timber]

does the ulgy work

[pliant berry]

foral wire is also really nice to have for photography

[sinful blade]

I got a 200ft pack for random stuff

[fresh timber]

flux

ill flux my ram

Im going to flux you mr roomba

[wary fjord]

no i say u need flux

[misty sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/spider-unboxing-spider-unboxing-gif-19683825

[lone mango]

[fresh timber]

i need ok

[wary fjord]

and a screwdriver u want to sacrifice @fresh timber

u solder screw driver

[sinful blade]

[wary fjord]

on it

then rotate it

[fresh timber]

can i sacrafise a screw

[wary fjord]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/pjnDYdk6gQc?feature=share

[fresh timber]

solder screw to it and then rotate screw with driver

[wary fjord]

like this indian dude do

this what i do also

[fresh timber]

this hurts

it comes tommrow

i have the thermal paste for the gpu atleast

[lone mango]

do you really need the flux tho

[fresh timber]

the ai said i did

ai never lies

[nocturne flicker]

Damage a screw? Remove the easy ways

[wary fjord]

ngl that soldering wire looks like mig

hehe

[nocturne flicker]

We only tolerate difficult ways in this house

[fresh timber]

tommies brother

[wary fjord]

if it dint flow u probably need it

unless the wire has flux

on it

[fresh timber]

do i need flux or no

[sinful blade]

@elfin mural usually no one knows wtf floral wire is when I mention it

[wary fjord]

i mean u can try it

then if it dint work

wait for flux to ship

[fresh timber]

works for me

[wary fjord]

see it says to bond

i dont know i never solder without a flux in my life yet.

its hard to flow it without it its like u playing with a clay

[fresh timber]

mhh

if i fix this gpu the $20 will make it self back

[wary fjord]

goodluck

[fresh timber]

ill buy the flux

oh

[wary fjord]

6 dolalr for that deym

[fresh timber]

yeah im never seeing this solder

oh it ships from amazon im good

[wary fjord]

sacrificial screw driver
soldering skill

good luck extracting it

theres also people who drill on it..

but u need tiny tiny drill

also do you even have replacement screw for that?

[dusk knot]

Hm

[wary fjord]

u cant just leave it like that

[fresh timber]

yeah

[wary fjord]

good

[fresh timber]

theirs the same screwws on this card

ima just take one and put it on the important part

[wary fjord]

bruh u just gonna take a screw on some part of that gpu and put it there.. thats wild

[fresh timber]

yup

[wary fjord]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/aBTASvaYDiE?feature=share this same size of that? @fresh timber make this an option 2 then

[fresh timber]

flux and solder is comming

[wary fjord]

this step tho..

but u need torch for those lol

[fresh timber]

i just want it to GET OUT

[wary fjord]

you might get it out. hope it wont snap if u apply a torque

try to rotate it slowly

[fresh timber]

when in dobut solder again and try again

once its out im happy

[cursive oasis]

Is there a reason that a 3 pack of corsair fans are $60?

[lone mango]

push down and rotate slowly?

[lone mango]

It gets more expensive than that

[cursive oasis]

What justifies a price like that other than brand name?

[lone mango]

The really expensive ones have some maglev motor or something

[cursive oasis]

What is that

[lone mango]

Basically a mini electric motor

[cursive oasis]

Does it make the fans faster?

[lone mango]

Probably but cheaper fans can also go the same speed

Its more like noise efficiency

It can spin really fast but make less noise

Still not worth imo

Basically niche overengineered product

[cursive oasis]

Yeah, well that's still pointless because my fans in my main PC were cheaper and I almost never hear them, even when playing an intense game

[lone mango]

Yeah have the rpm low enough and you wont hear anything

[wary fjord]

trick: if u buy a headphone u wont hear it.. if u do its a trash fan

[lone mango]

Goes for any fan

[lone mango]

Me hearing psu fan through iem

[upper rain]

have it really low enough and you'll be hearing everything bc ur bearings are busted

[lone mango]

[lone mango]

[lone mango]

sfx issues

Do not worry

sf750 is shipping

[wary fjord]

u need to be fully emersed to ignore any sound

[lone mango]

Yeah I undervolted so now its not so bad when it does ramp up

But I am getting it anyway because I am making another itx system with my old parts

I need a new psu to complete it so might as well

It bothers me so much because with my old parts the fan never turned on

And it goes from 0% to vooom and then turns off and repeats

Goes from loudest thing in the pc to just sound of air and then loudest sound in pc comes back on

Abruptly turns off too

Bruh just stay turned on

Does he mean they were in a workstation or something

If so then this unit should last a long time

He is also selling 20 of them

[rigid sinew]

hi

[lone mango]

gold (not certified)

[frigid stag]

Wow that’s a tight fit

[lone mango]

Satisfying

[frigid stag]

You need an sf750 🔥

[lone mango]

Some cards are even tighter

[frigid stag]

Theyre expensive tho, almost the price as some 1kw psus

[lone mango]

Especially now

[frigid stag]

Looks real nice

[lone mango]

Price went up

now 750 is 200

used to be 180 for a while

[frigid stag]

Itx probably the most expensive size

[lone mango]

Probably yeah

But I get it

You have to retain as much functionality as atx but half the size

You have to get 1000w in a psu so small that only a 92mm fan can fit, and has to be quiet

[frigid stag]

True

[lone mango]

Max out every stat

[frigid stag]

They did kinda nerf the new ones apparently though

No more premium packaging 😦

[lone mango]

Idk im getting a used one

for 120

[frigid stag]

Noice

[lone mango]

I just hope the bid I forgot about isnt that much cheaper

[lone mango]

They also kinda upsell you

the 1000w isnt much more expensive

[frigid stag]

True

[lone mango]

Like 30 or 40 more or smth

[frigid stag]

Can’t itx cases fit atx psu tho

[lone mango]

Despite having about 50% more capacity

[lone mango]

There is a mod for nr200 but its messy

[frigid stag]

ah

[lone mango]

I actually tried it with my old psu and it didnt go well

So I needed a new psu anyway

So i got itx, and getting another one rn because i am making another itx system to sell

Im taking my current one out and putting in the sf750

current goes in system to sell

[icy ore]

[lone mango]

It can be done but it can be brutal depending on which unit

[atomic current]

the thingymabobber case

I forget what it's called

the psu inator

oh the nr200

or whatever clones it

[lone mango]

there is a smaller nr200 style case called ssupd meshroom d

crazy ass cooler

i am surprised it can fit

[tranquil pebble]

that case is mounted to the cooler

https://tenor.com/view/borzoigaming-borzoi-borzoi-true-true-borzcord-gif-3111816095909094926

[frigid stag]

Is that a 5070

[tranquil pebble]

imagine a SFF 5090

[lone mango]

Idk why he took the bottom off because it can still fit

Probably for more airflow

This too

5070 fe but still

[fresh timber]

urs?

[lone mango]

No

[atomic current]

my pc is still goin with rommy case

[lone mango]

There are three

[frigid stag]

Middle is oled

The left is ips and the right too

[lone mango]

Well the video is 60 fps

Can’t really tell

Oled is something you gotta see irl it seems like

[tranquil pebble]

Process Laso made my laptop download things much faster. I hate Windows scheduling issues

[lone mango]

Oh process lasso worked

[frigid stag]

Yep it’s peak

[lone mango]

I should try it then

[tranquil pebble]

bought a lifetime license because it was cheap

[lone mango]

What

I thought it was free

[fresh timber]

im ngl i dont have issues with widnows scheduling

[lone mango]

[tranquil pebble]

Process Laso has a free version and paid

[lone mango]

I think its his cpu he said

Just his

[fresh timber]

which cpu he got

[tranquil pebble]

even with e cores?

[fresh timber]

nope

[tranquil pebble]

13620H in laptop

[fresh timber]

i let windows do its thing

oh im getting a core ultra one hopefully

[lone mango]

What perks does paid have over free

[tranquil pebble]

Windows version is 24H2

[tranquil pebble]

big one is it stops nagging you lol

[lone mango]

Nagware

[tranquil pebble]

Windows itself can be called that due to how unactivated version works

[frigid stag]

These mfs are spoiled

It’s perfectly fine

[lone mango]

Nah kinda right

[fresh timber]

its bad but not as bad as they say

[frigid stag]

And it was fine

[fresh timber]

my 2nd display is a 1080p 27 inch its not that good

[tranquil pebble]

1440p is good at 27 inch

[lone mango]

Because 1080p fits into 4k perfectly

Exactly twice the resolution in both dimensions

[frigid stag]

There’s a 300hz 1440p now for like 200

At 24 inches tho

[lone mango]

These make 4k pointless

[tranquil pebble]

better not be an overclocked 240 hz

[fresh timber]

my friends getting a 1440p 24 inch display

she cant fint bigger

[frigid stag]

It probably is factory overclocked

[lone mango]

Just get 24 inch 1440p, which is in between 4k and 27 inch 1440p in terms of pixel density

4k becomes even more pointless

[frigid stag]

I mean it’s just 3 inches difference

Can’t be that much

[tranquil pebble]

factory oc monitors are terrible in my experience

[lone mango]

Nah thats not how it works

Itll stretch to 1440p and look weird

[frigid stag]

O

[fresh timber]

i like my factor oc monitors

[tranquil pebble]

yes... with blurring lol

[frigid stag]

Oh interesting didn’t know that

[lone mango]

Or if you run 1440p the image will visually compress into 1080 and things look weird

[tranquil pebble]

non integer scaling moment

[lone mango]

yea

[tranquil pebble]

but dont because it sucks

[lone mango]

1440p has 78% more pixels than 1080p

[fresh timber]

i should downgrade to 1080p

[mental yoke]

IPS is better. OLED for TV and phones, nothing else.

[lone mango]

Thats why it scales weird

[frigid stag]

Real and true

This is the way

[lone mango]

It is a difference

[frigid stag]

Especially for productivity, sub pixel array on oled is worse.
Also no idea why people say oled is more color accurate

[lone mango]

24 inch 1080p is in between 27 inch 1080p and 27 inch 1440p

[frigid stag]

27 inch 5k is peak

[tranquil pebble]

oled has better contrast

they might be mixed up with that

[frigid stag]

Probably

[tranquil pebble]

a good IPS can have the same colors as OLED

[frigid stag]

And they also forget that overdrive is the reason how some monitors advertise such low latency response times

“0.0001” XD

[tranquil pebble]

overdrive tends to cause ghosting in my experience

[frigid stag]

Yeah it can in some cases

Some companies market it too hard

[tranquil pebble]

and over drive on a VA Is atrociously bad

[lone mango]

yeah

[tranquil pebble]

LG is guilty of that

[lone mango]

it depends on the panel because some can overdrive just fine without any problems

mine for example

level 2 and i dont notice anything

there were a couple times i saw it but it wasnt a big deal

[tranquil pebble]

point is, a monitor should not be ghosting so bad you can't read text that slowly scrolls... LG makes some panels that are that bad

left a bad taste of high refresh VA for me

[frigid stag]

Doesn’t va smear on black background white text

[lone mango]

yeah

[tranquil pebble]

the one I had smeared with black text and white background too

a big dual tower is all you should need. I feel like the cooling capabilities have diminishing returns beyond a point

Probably why it was never produced

Not worth it

[fresh timber]

they used a vapor chamber?

[lone mango]

Yeah that was something that started picking up at computex

Or it was the grooved plate

I dont like the fan attachment though

Its cool if you stick with their fan

But if you swap it the new one may not fit

[fresh timber]

imagine aio with vaporchamber

get the heat off thte cpu even faster

how is this a downvote

thats a NNEW Price
