[frosty sinew]

like 100 bucks

and nvmes are like another 150

[elfin mural]

wait... lpddr5?

thats weird

[frosty sinew]

what

odd

[elfin mural]

it sounds like soldered

[frosty sinew]

yeah

prob ignore that one then

[elfin mural]

okay no

it's a mistake

[frosty sinew]

checks out

[elfin mural]

it uses standard ddr5

[frosty sinew]

it is amazon lol

why is asus product pages so bad

i cant find it for the one on amszon

[elfin mural]

so last i remember

32gb ddr5 kit is like

70-80

or more since this is cad

[frosty sinew]

yeah so 100-120

i wonder why the zepyrus is like

unfindable

[elfin mural]

https://www.amazon.ca/Crucial-5600MHz-5200MHz-4800MHz-CT2K16G56C46S5/dp/B0BLTDRRLF

[frosty sinew]

maybe a region thing?

[elfin mural]

i suppose so

here's also a link to the ram kit

[frosty sinew]

nice thanks

at least its crucial

[royal crow]

Should I get steam OS

[elfin mural]

if you own an amd gpu and want to use linux for gaming

yes

though be mindful that certain boards might not be supported

[royal crow]

Alr

[elfin mural]

since steam os is primarily geared towards amd handhelds

[frosty sinew]

yeah so 3-6 hrs of battery life with light stuff

[elfin mural]

i get 7 hours if i really try on my tuf

but then again im on amd cpu lol

[elfin mural]

low brightness, backlight disabled and 60hz

[frosty sinew]

idk which g16 that is but dang

2023

[elfin mural]

so the 2025 should deliver around the same, if not worse

newer cpu and all

[frosty sinew]

yeah so it seems like they are all fine basically

just gaming makes them suck

which makes sense

[elfin mural]

typical

i can't go for more than 1 hour under load if i dare unplug mine

[frosty sinew]

its also a university not like ill be far from an outlet

[elfin mural]

90wh battery

[frosty sinew]

is there a reason they are 99wh and not 100

is it the flight restrictions

[elfin mural]

yep, spot on

[frosty sinew]

thought so

[elfin mural]

you can't take em into flights otherwise

[frosty sinew]

ah

[elfin mural]

there's no tech limit, it's just restrictions

[frosty sinew]

thanks for the help 🙂

[elfin mural]

you're welcome

[frosty sinew]

oh is there any issue with 14th gen intel laptop cpus? with the degrading because of oxidation or stmg

[frigid stag]

Huh

[remote geode]

is it worth going from intel 11th gen to 14th gen for the ipc gain (if there's any)

or should i wait for 15th gen to come out

since the rumours for that gen is kinda juicy

[pliant berry]

Isn’t 15th just the start of the core ultra line now? (Definitely have been paying attention to intel lately)

[fresh timber]

IM AN IDIOT

I had pixel overdrive off

I learned Excatly what it did.. turned it on and my monitor feels soo much smoother

[pliant berry]

I think that was intentional, overdrive often causes horrible ghosting on displays

[frigid stag]

Depends what level u use

[fresh timber]

2025 game with fsr2

really

siege x sucks

do not recommend

[sour falcon]

I think i figured out what’s wrong with my pc

All symptoms are pointing towards a failing boot drive 🥀

[lone mango]

Oh boy

Ti super is back

[rancid juniper]

LMFAO if these are true then 5080 and lower that people bought have been trolled

😂

baffling that a 5080 comes with 16gb vram still

[lone mango]

Wtf

[rancid juniper]

100% tasty

[lone mango]

Website doesn’t even completely load

I will have to look at this on the computer

[rancid juniper]

yea it works there

[fresh timber]

wtf

whats the point of that

makes 5080 useless

[rancid juniper]

to make more $$$ and crap on consumers who bought too early

[fresh timber]

they should have just given the 5080 20gb

5070ti super was fine with 16gb

most it needs is faster memory

[lone mango]

Only 5080 super will have faster memory

But slightly

Also only the 5070 super has a core increase

Rest just clock higher

[upper rain]

would have been 24

[fresh timber]

Nah

That’s for the super

[upper rain]

you can't get 20GB from a 256 bit bus

you'd need to drop it to 160 (below 5070 lmao) or use cut down GB202 on a 320 bit bus (almost half way cut down lol)

[lone mango]

Let me add another phy rq

I’ll do it

[upper rain]

yeah, or that. a 20GB card coulf have been in the cards (pun... soemwhat intended) if nvidia planned it out and gave the 5080/GB203 a larger bus

[fresh timber]

So make bus bigger

???

Who said they had to use 256gb

[lone mango]

They do 32 bits per module

Unless you clamshell

[upper rain]

it's still kiiiinda 32 bits per module, you're just stacking two modules together. as far as the IMC is concerned you have 1 dual rank module, but obviously there are two physical packages

but like- that's major pedantry on my end lol

[lone mango]

9060 xt

[upper rain]

mhm

40/5060 ti

3090

etc.

[fresh timber]

7900xt, 20GB vram

beat that Nvidia

[upper rain]

5090 32GB vram

[frigid stag]

All it takes is this

[upper rain]

i approve

@fresh timber i'm about to go put way too much voltage into my 9070 again so i can clown on a nerd with an XT

[lone mango]

40c hotspot delta

[upper rain]

i disapprove

liquid metal or ptm 😭😭😭🥀💔

[frigid stag]

Remove hotspot temps ez fix

Nvidia did it

[lone mango]

Thank you nvidia

[upper rain]

they should hire you for blackwell

[frigid stag]

[lone mango]

Should I use zelle for this pc sale

Never did that before

[fresh timber]

Tech support server time

[upper rain]

nah it's for a bench i haven't run yet so i have to torture my GPU again

[versed marlin]

anybody have a gaming ear bud wireless recommendation under $100

[fresh timber]

L

[worthy meteor]

Might be able to get one of the older galaxy buds for under 100

[upper rain]

hatsune miku cubeface

[velvet summit]

"gaming" audio stuff is the same thing as regular audio stuff usually made cheaper and more expensive to buy

[upper rain]

more seriously though, there isn't a huuuuuge difference in quality between ultra expensive and cheaper buds. i do actually like my mikus a lot, but they're hardly different from my $15 redmis or my older airpods or any of the other wireless buds i've tried

tbh just get whatever has a good battery life for your usecase and looks comfy for your ear type/shape

[velvet summit]

idk if there are any wireless earbuds that have a low enough latency for gaming though

at least for comp gaming

you'll be fine for mc

[upper rain]

you underestimate my grandpa response times

[velvet summit]

damn i cant find that human benchmark meme

[frigid stag]

I think he means iems

[velvet summit]

iems arent wireless though (most of the time)

[upper rain]

W actually

my first run was already top score for 9070 lol

[frigid stag]

[pliant berry]

Time to go back to work

I get to start new job in a week or 2

[proud jackal]

noice

where at

[tranquil pebble]

even more baffling is the price on them

[rancid juniper]

it gets even worse when people just gotta buy them

[tranquil pebble]

Why do we need consumer cards being > $900 again?

[rancid juniper]

yes

Can't wait for a 60 class card to be over $800

[fresh timber]

Cause we are getting richer and richer

Value of dollar drop

[dense locust]

Pls
Small company NVIDIA needs to make money to feed its yacht

[tranquil pebble]

on like a 64 bit memory bus too

Eventually only the 90 class will be able to game

[fresh timber]

Amd did it too

Intel is unironically the cheapest

is amd freesync good?

ive read bad stuff abt it but it seems to have fixed a lot of issues i was having

[sinful blade]

It’s worked fine for me for a while

[lone mango]

What is funny is that people thought intel would get dogged on by amd and nvidia low end but the low end stagnated so badly that the b580 is still a better buy than the 5060

[sinful blade]

B580 is a banger

[slate fractal]

we getting held back chat

[misty sparrow]

Get out of Xfinity

[fresh timber]

I daily Xfinity at my moms house

[sinful blade]

I GET THAT TOO
I REALLY ONLY GET 100/15 DAILY

[fresh timber]

[fresh timber]

I only get 700/40

[pliant berry]

I have no idea really

[fresh timber]

Legit

My Xfinity is fine

[pliant berry]

Oh hi jake

[deep parcel]

hello there

[sinful blade]

Xfinity is just a bad isp

[misty sparrow]

WHY ARE WE SCREAMING

[atomic current]

I love satellite latency

[lone mango]

My plan got upgraded to 500 down

[fresh timber]

It’s better

[lone mango]

Thank you xfinity

[fresh timber]

Than any other isp in my area

[deep parcel]

lol probably still better than xfinity

[fresh timber]

I bought the better

[fresh timber]

It’s not

I am test it right now

[misty sparrow]

honestly id say Cox is worse than xfinity

[atomic current]

who's to say

I've never used xfinity

[pliant berry]

My isp likes to shut the internet off at 3am on a monthly basis

[deep parcel]

Ive got Optimum... its pretty good.

[misty sparrow]

i wonder if those internet packages from mobile data providers are any good

like tmobile, verizon

[fresh timber]

"xfinity bad"

explain my speeds

[lone mango]

I used tmobile internet it was not that good

[pliant berry]

I used to have optimum before fiber and I hated it so i switched to verizon. That said I haven’t used optimum’s fiber stuff since

[lone mango]

Had constant nat issues and really inconsistent internet speeds

[fresh timber]

i need cable

so i got cable

[deep parcel]

in my area its pretty good.

[atomic current]

the problem with american internet providers is they don't have capacity for 320 million users no matter what you use

[pliant berry]

Well yeah cuz that’s cellular

[lone mango]

yurr

[atomic current]

it'll always chug when everyon

e's online

[pliant berry]

Honestly most of my issues were with their damn cable box/modem combo

[fresh timber]

if somebody makes a better isp than xfinity in my area please give me them

[deep parcel]

probably... I never use it. I have my own router that is hooked up to the modem combo

[misty sparrow]

vex i dont even know where you live

[fresh timber]

good

[misty sparrow]

how am i supposed to know whats in your area

[fresh timber]

i know whats in my area

xfinity is the fastest, thast why i have them at my moms and now dads

[lone mango]

This hot isp is in your area click now

[fresh timber]

im tired of this

dad internet slow

[misty sparrow]

thanks for letting me know what your area is

[pliant berry]

Yeah so the one I had kept overheating turning off the connection to my router lol

[lone mango]

I have 10-11 ping

[fresh timber]

i dont live in chicago

thats the thing

[misty sparrow]

good

[lone mango]

fr

[misty sparrow]

living in chicago is like having a mental illinois

[lone mango]

[misty sparrow]

i'm not even joking, they spelled the state after "illness"

[fresh timber]

as long as i get my 700mbps idc what my isp is

[lone mango]

fr

[fresh timber]

xfinity has good consistant ping as well

i have no problem with it

[pliant berry]

Damn my net is great out here

[fresh timber]

i cant with that upload

1000/100

it beats my moms internet

[pliant berry]

What u need the internet for anyway

[fresh timber]

99.9% of it is me wanting it

[pliant berry]

Oh

[fresh timber]

i like fast internet

i was looking at the ATT.. i used 1.8TB this month downloading.. and it was slow

[rough zinc]

Verizon Fios fiber on top

1000/1000 can't be beaten

[fresh timber]

i uploaded 250GB

[pliant berry]

Having gig upload was a game changer for me

[fresh timber]

50/10 intenet sucks so bad

like legit

it takes me 30mins to install like 10GB

[misty sparrow]

using an ethernet cable for the first time was a game changer for me

[rough zinc]

Try 5/5 lmao

[fresh timber]

xfinity tech is going ot have fun with me. i know what im ding

all i need is the intrenet to work and my ethernet cable plugged in

[rough zinc]

Not even 5/5, was rated that at my apartment, only really got 1/1 at most

[misty sparrow]

Basic internet plans before the minimum speed requirements were raised by the government were slow as hell

[pliant berry]

Yeah when I visited my grandmother in europe she would have around 0.5mbps on a good day

[misty sparrow]

can't believe they were still shipping those in the 2020s

[fresh timber]

thats when i use my mobile data

0.5mbps isnt even enough to watch youtube

[lone mango]

me hoy minoy

[fresh timber]

chat

do u think my ethernet can handel gigabit

oh yeah it can

[pliant berry]

I should hope?

[fresh timber]

i have a 300ft cable going from router to the basement

i refuse to use wifi

i only bought it wanting 100/100 cause the internet sucked

but.. well thats changing

as long as i can pull gigabit, im happty

[misty sparrow]

how did you fish the ethernet cable all the way down to your basement

i tried it and its hard so i just plugged it into a mesh router instead

[pliant berry]

Oh they changed the ui for some settings menus too

[pliant berry]

You need a fish line. I think they call steel tape

[dusk knot]

Ladies

[lone mango]

[misty sparrow]

well, if i didnt have a mesh router i would be doing this

its funny how good they can be, main router is several rooms away in a closet and have a mesh router in my room, still get exact speeds i pay for when connected to mesh router

[dusk knot]

Ma'lady

XD

[fresh timber]

Uhh wanna see

[pliant berry]

We have a spot where we pull electrical or ethernet cable through so we put one person in basement and one upstairs, then you can try to stick the fishline down, tie the cable to it and pull it back up

[misty sparrow]

yeah

[fresh timber]

Ima see if I can get the Box installed in the basement

[misty sparrow]

oh hell no

[atomic current]

vacuum the fish line through the walls

[fresh timber]

Yeah

I refuse to use WiFi

Ever

[misty sparrow]

to be fair some things dont use ethernet

[lone mango]

wifi go hard

[misty sparrow]

but at least if you get more routers you could just get them set up by ethernet so the speeds are consistent in each room

[fresh timber]

Hard at sucking

[pliant berry]

Yeah

[fresh timber]

I can never get my full speeds over wireless

[pliant berry]

It’s nice to have the flexibility

[misty sparrow]

like here take a look at this router

[fresh timber]

People do this, access points in every room at low power

[misty sparrow]

https://www.amazon.com/Davolink-Minions-Kevin-Wi-Fi-Router/dp/B0CJXZSLNM?th=1

this is peak

[fresh timber]

Strong enough not to interfere but enough for max speed

[pliant berry]

Oh damn i remember those

[lone mango]

[fresh timber]

I need a better app that lets me do motion sensing and everything for free

Rn it gives me alerts when cars drive past but refuses to let me see them

[pliant berry]

There are routers now that have those apps built in for ip cameras

[misty sparrow]

won't the neighbors get suspicious and wonder why there's just a smartphone on a stand sitting in front of the window

this isn't a conventional security setup

[pliant berry]

Yeah right xD

[misty sparrow]

they're probably gonna think you are doing some secret surveillance or something

[fresh timber]

Womp womp

My property

[misty sparrow]

HOA:

[pliant berry]

I’ve been trying to setup security cams for a long time, at this point I really just need 1 or 2 more cameras and a poe switch for the attic

[nocturne flicker]

Bolt the smartphone on a roof overhang

[pliant berry]

Surely no one would take it

[fresh timber]

Don’t have one

[fresh timber]

For my house the one I have now is perfect

I use it to check the oven too

[misty sparrow]

if i had a security camera the first place i would put them is my car

probably the most important place to be putting any camera

[fresh timber]

I use vdo ninja so I can. Cook

Better quality

No detection tho

[lone mango]

Remote cooking

[pliant berry]

I never actually setup mine so I just left them in the basement from when I was testing them

[nocturne flicker]

It is a multiplayer game, only came out of early access seven years ago, some British companies bought the film rights a couple years ago and Bohemia has a habit of spending years working on games post release. Not that surprising

Practically the survival multiplayer game. Or at least a direct line from the mod that practically spawned the modern form of the genre

[worthy meteor]

25%

[idle nexus]

the 10700KF build I sent to Michigan won't even pretend to start

it acts like it doesn't even have power

[worthy meteor]

Maybe it doesn't

[idle nexus]

I can't see anything obviously wrong except one of those four clips (none were in place) are presently accounted for

[worthy meteor]

Check the fun switch in the back

[idle nexus]

I guess they came off during shipping or something but either way this is the first I've known they weren't there

supposedly the switch is on & they tried different outlets

[worthy meteor]

On to find the missing fan brackets then

[idle nexus]

I'm kinda mad at myself cuz I focused so much on making sure the GPU survived the journey without coming out or breaking the PCIe slot or something that I neglected to do anything to keep the fans in place on the CPU cooler

lol that's what I'm asking them to do rn

so far we've found 3 of 4

[worthy meteor]

Last one is prob the problematic one

[idle nexus]

I suspect the other is like behind an M.2 heatsink or something else not good

[worthy meteor]

If not, it's probably something random being loose

Have they tried jumper

[idle nexus]

weird it worked for like 2 weeks without issues

not yet. I'm still in the early stages of troubleshooting

next I'll try shorting CMOS & all that stuff

[worthy meteor]

Imo the chance of those cables shaking loose in shipping is pretty high

[idle nexus]

I just can't think of what would be the cause of the PSU not even trying to POST other than some sort of short

[fresh timber]

Hi

[idle nexus]

ya for sure it's just weird that issue wouldn't be immediately apparent

[fresh timber]

Want me to pick it up

[idle nexus]

like if they came loose in shipping, how would they remain okay until now? lol

you're in Michigan? lmao

"I'm sending a technician"

[fresh timber]

Nah

3 hour drive

I’m close

[idle nexus]

lol no way I'd make you drive 6 hours for that

thanks tho hahahaha

every time I turn on my heckin computer this crap pops up

I kept ignoring it until it annoyed me enough

so I told it to send files

which I've done like 20x now

& it still won't go away

[lone mango]

turn off defender file submission or whatever its called

[idle nexus]

I did lol

[sour falcon]

Any good nvme recommendations

[idle nexus]

GM7000 Acer

[sour falcon]

970 evo boot drive is failing i think

[lone mango]

crucial t500 on sale rn for like 122

dram nvme

like the predator nvme as well

[sour falcon]

Ooh that’s about the same as the 990pro price

[lone mango]

if you want cheaper there is the mp44l and the sn580 for like 90 or something

[idle nexus]

Hynix P41 Platinum & WD SN850 have been good to me

[lone mango]

true p41 good too

[idle nexus]

WD SN770 been good too

[sour falcon]

Anyone know ways of transferring failing boot drive data

Idk if you can if it’s failing already

[idle nexus]

lol even my Silicon Power ones

[misty sparrow]

Every time I open Defender I get an Actions Recommended notification because it wants me to send files to Microsoft

If you tell it no, it keeps suggesting anyway for some reason so I ignore it

[sour falcon]

Like almost as soon as the pc boots it gets extremely slow, freezes and just like stops responding altogether

[idle nexus]

Sabrent Rocket 4 & MP33 both borked out tho but were RMAed

[idle nexus]

lol I'll try

[misty sparrow]

You could just debloat windows

for some reason I never get notifications like that

[lone mango]

you can clone it

get those nvme enclosures and clone the drive

[idle nexus]

I did & I'm on Ghost-Spectre so I dunno wherre this crap came from lol

[lone mango]

but delete games and other stuff so it doesnt have to clone as much data

[sour falcon]

I have a strix arion

Would that work

[idle nexus]

Macrium is awesome for cloning

checki hwinfo for SMART

[lone mango]

I guess you could clone to that and then clone to the new nvme

[sinful blade]

@sour falcon check your dms

[fresh timber]

Can clonezilla really clone ntfs reliably tho

[sour falcon]

No i can get into windows

[royal crow]

Damn bro that's awesome

I could use the boot drive off of that and boot into windows 10

[royal crow]

What the address, wanna bomb-- i mean, help you move in...

[sour falcon]

Granted I currently don’t have another nvme to clone it too so it’ll be a while

What he dont tell you is that he is cpu limited

[fresh timber]

nuh uh

[sour falcon]

My 13600kf is fine

Well… not at the moment 😰

[fresh timber]

i didnt say i needed faster cpu now did i

[sour falcon]

I’d just buy a new boot drive and call it a day but i have certain programs that aren’t available anymore for certain reasons 😭

[fresh timber]

nah u need a new gpu

9070xt slow

[sour falcon]

Bro doesn’t know

A new gpu isn’t an option in my rig

[fresh timber]

why

just buy one

cheap

[sour falcon]

Cuz this is the space i’m working with 😭

[fresh timber]

buy 5090

they smaller

[sour falcon]

I’ll buy a full blown sim rig or a SC300 before I spend that kind of money on a GPU

btw this is what my Sabrent looked like in HWiNFO when it failed. Drive life 100% lol

[worthy meteor]

Life do be an estimate

[idle nexus]

not a great one lol

[worthy meteor]

I think it has something to do with how many sectors have failed and how much extra you still have from over provisioning

So if every sector still works but is only read only then it'd be 100% life but still fails

[sour falcon]

There isn’t

I have a boot light on my mobo

[frosty sinew]

ughhhh whys there no decent amd cpus on gaming laptops

[fresh timber]

AI 9

BRP

so many

[frosty sinew]

gl finding one

[fresh timber]

i found so many

googling ai 9

[sour falcon]

@idle nexus

[frosty sinew]

none sold by newegg

under 3000$

[fresh timber]

dont buy from newegg then

[frosty sinew]

also hardly any of these have gpus

[fresh timber]

yeah dgpus in laptop suck

just drains battery

[frosty sinew]

except... its a gpu

😲

[fresh timber]

i know

they haev good ones

whats your budget

[frosty sinew]

like 2000 usd

[lone mango]

Wow even cheaper than when I got it

[fresh timber]

u can get anything

[frosty sinew]

needs a decent gpu 4070+

[fresh timber]

why

[frosty sinew]

except all these options are intel 13 and 14 gen

engineering

[fresh timber]

idk where you are looking

i can find one after my helldiver match

[frosty sinew]

everywehere thats reputable

newegg canada computers amazon best buy

@sour falcon this is the gpu I want

Or a b580

[worthy meteor]

That tends to happen for laptops

[fresh timber]

no

[sour falcon]

Uh oh.

[fresh timber]

you want that

[worthy meteor]

Third party companies like to buy them, swap the ram, and then upsell

[sour falcon]

Hey roomba

[frosty sinew]

https://www.amazon.ca/ASUS-Strix-Gaming-Laptop-G614JIR-AS91-CA/dp/B0CS4ZZCBG this is what i was looking at

[sour falcon]

It’s the CPU light. Not the boot light.

@sinful blade 🫩

[frosty sinew]

but 14900hx is desktop cpu iirc which are prone to issues

[sour falcon]

13th and 14th.

[fresh timber]

65w CPUS

dont just say 13/14

[sour falcon]

Wut

[frosty sinew]

is that peak tdp

cuz its 55w

[sour falcon]

I heard something about the voltage controllers being wack

[fresh timber]

65w+ TDP cpus are affected

[worthy meteor]

Both desktop and laptop 13th and 14th gen chips all can have issues independent of heat or tdp

It's some voltage issues with the microcode

[frosty sinew]

its 55w

[fresh timber]

open tpu

[frosty sinew]

itll pull up to 157

[fresh timber]

thats the ai

[frosty sinew]

see blow

below

[fresh timber]

open the link

also get this

[worthy meteor]

Intel tdp is weird, pl2 is 157w

[frosty sinew]

55w

[fresh timber]

thats good

it tells you the power limits

[worthy meteor]

Anyways either way assume it's affected by issues, which may or may not have been solved by the like 4 different microcode updates

[fresh timber]

its not affedcted

lol

its undet the 65w tdp

[frosty sinew]

assume what are the 13 and 14?

[frosty sinew]

its the spikes that also cause the issues ]

apparaently

[fresh timber]

assume 65w tdp cpus are going to blow up

rest jut run hot

[sinful blade]

Hello

Sorry, I must DoorDash for money

[frosty sinew]

i hate laptop shopping

[sinful blade]

Only took you a day or two

[frosty sinew]

esp when 90% of the options are intel

[sinful blade]

Just get a NUC+portable screen

Much easier to buy

[fresh timber]

buy a used workstation off ebay

[frosty sinew]

that does not work for portability and conveinence lol

[fresh timber]

yes it does

mini pc, portable display, keeb mouse, easy

[sinful blade]

Yeah huh
You just need to have an outlet

That’s the only requirement

this is insane

[worthy meteor]

Ye just assume 13th and 14th gen are, safer to than not

[frosty sinew]

ahhh

all the new amd processors get clapped by them

[worthy meteor]

At some point Intel said the laptop chips weren't affected but then there's evidence that they are sooo

[frosty sinew]

yeah thats what i was reading

smtg smtg lying

[fresh timber]

13th gen very safe

[frosty sinew]

says who

[fresh timber]

me

[lone mango]

Fr

[fair onyx]

I love my 12600k. Been an insanely reliable CPU. I just wish I had more PCIE lanes 😅

[sour falcon]

WAIT

[frosty sinew]

i mean thats ok

4060 tho

[sour falcon]

IT MIGHT BE THE SAME THING AS BEFORE

[fresh timber]

oh

@fair onyx

[sour falcon]

My 13600kf is running at 800mhz

My fan controller failed on armory crate

I wonder if i’m dumb and it’s just overheating

[fresh timber]

i got you on camera

but first is anyone in the house

[pliant berry]

me still on 9900k

the most up to date computer I have is my phone

[frosty sinew]

good news

narrowed it down

holy chrome

[upper rain]

you turned blue

you blued yourself

[worthy meteor]

Turning blue is perfectly safe

I think

[pliant berry]

one might say he blue it 😉

[sour falcon]

EUREKA

I don’ t know what to do

[upper rain]

30k gotta pump those numbers

what are ur settings?

[sour falcon]

I figured out what was wrong, however no matter what i do armory crate is borked and won’t let me uninstall if without my pc overheating before it finishes

[upper rain]

go into safe mode and delete the files

[sour falcon]

Looked at HWINFO and my cpu package is 100°C 😰

[worthy meteor]

Classic armory crate lmao

Uh might want to check your mount and repaste

[sour falcon]

Pc blue screens on the daily because of it

[sour falcon]

Was that responding to me

[worthy meteor]

Yes

[upper rain]

2780 mem, fast timings on, increase negative voltage offset, try adding like 150mhz to max freq

[pliant berry]

my transition to bazzite has been going pretty well so far but why the hell do steam game updates take soooo lonngg

[sour falcon]

No no it’s all fine, the fan controller failed

[worthy meteor]

Oh lmao

[sour falcon]

The software so when i run windows it just sets it to the minimum setting and turns my aio off

[worthy meteor]

Plug it into the mobo directly

[upper rain]

steam stopped opening for me on my linux install, so i deleted all the steam files to reinstall, and accidentally clicked on my steam shortcut instead of the appimage, and then steam opened without issues

[sour falcon]

I’m terrible at descriptions lol

[worthy meteor]

Yea boot windows in safe mode

[upper rain]

i have no idea what it's opening from bc i deleted all the files

[sour falcon]

Alright

[pliant berry]

lol what

[frosty sinew]

is there a site where you can select a bunch of cpus and just compare specs

[pliant berry]

what distro are you on

[upper rain]

PopOS. iirc it's debian with a fresh coat of paint

[fresh timber]

freedom

[pliant berry]

ah i see

[fresh timber]

i have more thermalhadroom on my cpu

[sour falcon]

Technical city

[upper rain]

it's the only issue i've had but i'm still baffled

[fresh timber]

do i add more voltage and clock speed

[worthy meteor]

Passmark can and you can kind of do it on TPU's database

[upper rain]

bc to this day i have no idea where my steam is saved to

and it just works lmfao

[pliant berry]

bazzite seems to try to run everything in containers from what I am seeing so maybe it has something to do with that?

[upper rain]

everything has been fine, no issues to speak of

[fresh timber]

lord foog

[upper rain]

no clue lol

[fresh timber]

do i add more voltage Z:kek

[frosty sinew]

thats only 2 cps

[frosty sinew]

kk

[sour falcon]

Fait

Fair*

[upper rain]

TPU is high key the best website when it comes to PC nerd stuff

the sheer volume of info they have available is incredible

[worthy meteor]

It's nice that they have a good SSD database now

[upper rain]

mhm mhm

i need to see if they have a dono page bc i always visit with adblock on 😔

[worthy meteor]

More info than newmaxx at times

[frosty sinew]

ok that is closer than i thought lol

all the sites i saw were like the 14650 is 85% faster

[worthy meteor]

Passmark has a slight bias towards AMD but not that much, consider it something like 5-10%

[frosty sinew]

even still

single threads are all rlly close

and multicores are too

[upper rain]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/845184416288342036/1003405869360357506/cat_maid_1.gif

[frosty sinew]

but ive gotta ignroe the intel ones

are their like core ultra 7s and 9s ok?

[worthy meteor]

Yea they're okay

Nothing special

[frosty sinew]

as in no like dying

after a year

[worthy meteor]

Nothing known

Just performs a bit badly

[frosty sinew]

ok so i now delete all the intel laptops

[frosty sinew]

welcome to intel lol

[pliant berry]

apparently their laptop varients still have issues though. I was just helping someone that got a core ultra laptop a week or 2 ago and is bsoding in idle states

[frosty sinew]

is there any way to keep the cpus from dying or

[frosty sinew]

are you FRICKING kidding me

damn it intel

literally one job

[worthy meteor]

Desktop core ultra hasn't had problems at least lmao

[frosty sinew]

and you fricked it up

that doesnt help me

lol

so my options are now amd or amd

perfect

[pliant berry]

I think specifically that one was a dell inspiron

[frosty sinew]

im staying away from dell

that makes me sad

the intel laptops were rlly good

and cheap

like

[upper rain]

they updated the architecture and the new ones no longer have the raptorlake flaw

[frosty sinew]

how do you know if they are knew tho

is the issue

[upper rain]

that's not to say that Intel hasn't managed to screw something else up, but they split up voltages in a far more sane way

[upper rain]

the Ultras are on a different architecture

[sour falcon]

I’m restoring the pc to about 3 days ago

[frosty sinew]

oh ultras

yeah

[upper rain]

Ultras are safe to buy

they split up voltages sanely this time

[frosty sinew]

@upper rain

[upper rain]

that's raptorlake

the Ultras are Meteorlake and Arrowlake

Raptorlake is 13/14gen

[frosty sinew]

thats a core ultra tho

[worthy meteor]

Although power state issues is usually windows issue

[upper rain]

probably a defective model

the issue with RPL degradation is fixed with post-RPL architectures

[frosty sinew]

damn ultra 7 beat them

[sour falcon]

It bluescreened

[frosty sinew]

by a lot

[worthy meteor]

20c20t sounds like it'd be more expensive by quite a bit

[frosty sinew]

200$ cad more lol

but thats also with a 5070ti instead of a 5070

these are all 2600$

4070, 5070, 4070, 5070 for thos laptops

i think the middle 2 are out

[sour falcon]

How does one uninstall programs in safemode

I feel dumb asking

I tried doing the command lines and it didn’t work

[worthy meteor]

Can just manually go delete the files

Dunno if the apps thing to uninstall apps works in safe mode or not

[sour falcon]

How tho

[sinful blade]

@sour falcon if you wanna wait a week
I can come over and help

[sour falcon]

I might have it

[worthy meteor]

Go to file explorer and then program files and delete wherever armory crate is

It might also be in app data

[sour falcon]

I rebooted into safemode with networking

Idk what to install of armory crate though because the list of programs say like “ASUStek framework” or “ASUStek motherboard”

[worthy meteor]

Don't install any of it, Asus should have drivers available separate from armory crate

[pliant berry]

idk all my computers are starting to run out of space for these project files. ima try to edit them over nas but gigabit might not be enough here

https://i.imgur.com/F3fiimf.png

[frosty sinew]

alr these are what ive narrowed it down too

ignore the 14900hx thats a reference for what i was gonna buy

[sour falcon]

Fixed it

Anyone have good fan control software recommendations 😰

I wish armory crate wasn’t so parasitic because it’s so easy to use 😦

🫩

[sour falcon]

Uninstall*

[idle nexus]

you do. It's called BIOS lol

[sour falcon]

I liked having profiles 😞

[idle nexus]

do you have an MSI motherboard?

[sour falcon]

I had one for gaming, and one for sleeping

[idle nexus]

you can save profiles in BIOS

[sour falcon]

ROG STRIX B760-I Gaming Wifi

Asus sadly

[idle nexus]

if you set the fan header to "manual" there's like 4 temps & corresponding %s for each

you don't have to deal with MSI's annoying, "move the dots on a graph" thing lol

I usually do like:
Temp 1: 35C 30%
Temp 2: 45C 50%
Temp 3: 55C 70%
Temp 4: 65C 100%

[sour falcon]

Oof

Brotha must have the pc across the room

[sour falcon]

lol nah but there's an AC unit in here so it drowns out the noise of the PC anyway
