[sinful blade]

They’re all rescues
Literally one off the road, ones mom got ran over, two were shot at, and two were thrown down stairs repeatedly by previous owner

The last was a farm kitten rescued from mill farmers

Slightly popular ones… rip

[acoustic palm]

i can run windows on it

[opaque sedge]

Its not apple silicon?

Neat

Thinking of downloading bg3 on my macbook

[acoustic palm]

you can run windows on m series chips\

[opaque sedge]

Oh i didn’t know that

[fresh timber]

uhh according to my filters these are thunderbolt

[acoustic palm]

[misty sparrow]

i can't believe they are still selling Intel macs

you also showed the 16GB model btw

[fresh timber]

[lone mango]

[lone mango]

But apple ram is double windows ram

[frigid stag]

Older macos maybe

[chrome mirage]

I found out that there's a zipper on the memory foam pillow for my gaming chair and I took it out to wash it and it was gross. I washed it and now I have a soaking wet but still gross pillow.

CCD1 is not looking so promising...

Core 6 and 7 are struggling to boost past stock with a -20 CO.

[sinful blade]

https://clevetura.com/product/clvx1/

wtf is this

[pseudo raven]

Seems like the type of thing that would be mad finnicky

[frigid stag]

I think it’s a keyboard

[icy ore]

What’s that under the space bar

Oh it is a left and right click

That’s a mouse and a keyboard somehow built together

That’s odd

[sinful blade]

Looks good tbh

[atomic current]

where's the nib tho

and why does it have a ❤️ 1

[craggy shoal]

I find it funny when I see issues like this. Just like: "I have an issue with the front I/O cables. I have a 9600X btw"

[sour falcon]

Ngl i felt stupid after building my pc from shit like this 😭

Put all the extra stuff in by hand and doubled checked the mobo manual only to find after i was done that there was an extender included with labels on the end for each accessory 🫩

[craggy shoal]

"I have malware on my PC please help"

"What's your specs?"

"CPU, GPU, blah-blah and a 768GB image of your mom"

[sour falcon]

😭

[lone mango]

It literally tells you where to plug them in

hahahaha

Like not even just in the manual, it is there in the picture

[craggy shoal]

This guy wants his PWR LED in the PWR SW prongs and wonders why his PC doesn't turn on lol

[lone mango]

I understand looking at the manual in my cramped itx board but it shows you right there brotha

[sour falcon]

I found the photo

[craggy shoal]

Yes that one lmaooo

[sour falcon]

Damn this one is a screenshot

Instantly though of this lmfao

[craggy shoal]

Screenshot with allah language

lol

[sour falcon]

It’s from the internet 😰

[sour falcon]

Never happened

[craggy shoal]

(Still uploading to the petadrive)

[sinful blade]

I hate this panel

Actively the worst part of building a pc

Every single time

Without fail

[fresh timber]

Imagine a all disk Speedtest, bottlenecked by the pcie interface

https://youtu.be/B93XAEHlGvI?si=iTqLQyeWlZa5xPwx

[lone mango]

*4050

[tall pine]

@fresh timber I am annoyed. Most of CCD1 has iffy core quality.

Two cores are good, two are bad, 4 are meh

[fresh timber]

Damn

I fixed my stability

Gave a extra power connector lol

[tall pine]

Two can hit 5.9Ghz with -20 while two can barely break 5.75 (stock effective)

[fresh timber]

Return try again

I think ima stop at 5.5, thermals are getting a lil high, ima focus on Undervolting

[tall pine]

It's a RMA chip

So not possible.

Only way to return is if it had an actual defect

[fresh timber]

Dump 2v into it

Hey AMD, it broke

I’m Undervolting rn

[tall pine]

Retesting all the cores at -23.

[tall pine]

Kinda funny you mentioned this.

[remote geode]

don't amd chips have fuses if you oc or something or im mistaking a different company/chip

[tall pine]

When I was in MX on my first 7950x3D, between the constant power outages and slightly raises voltages it screwed up my first chip

I was able to send that and received another 7950x3D which turned out to have booting problems

[lone mango]

I think the cpu is able to tell if you did overclock, but amd doesn't seem to care too much

[tall pine]

Returned that one and that's how I got my 9950x3D after a lot of convincing them to upgrade me

[fresh timber]

Only threadrippers

[lone mango]

As long as you dont like explode it they dont care

[fresh timber]

Just claim it cought fire

[tall pine]

Why TR only?

[fresh timber]

Idk

[lone mango]

Nah even 7000 too

[fresh timber]

But they have a fuse

[fresh timber]

They have fuses?

[lone mango]

yur

[fresh timber]

Okay why is my Undervolt not changing temps at all

[tall pine]

With the amount of time I have spent tuning AM5 CPUs I could write up a pretty solid OC guide for it lmao

[lone mango]

There was a secret project apple ran in the 80s where they tried to make their own risc cpu

[remote geode]

they revived it in 2020 to make the M1 !!!

[lone mango]

It was about 20 years ahead of everyone else but it failed

[lone mango]

quad core cpu in the 80s

[fresh timber]

Imagine arm CPUs in desktop

Like socketed

[lone mango]

Bound to use linux

Although I am fine with that

[atomic current]

I wanna socketed phone

[fresh timber]

Why am I Undervolting my cpu and it still hits power limit

[lone mango]

Socket the phone into my arm

[fresh timber]

Is that suppose to happen with power virus

[tall pine]

So status update, @fresh timber

At -23 CO:

• 1 Excellent core (+150mhz)

• 2 Great cores (+100mhz)

• 3 Good cores (+50mhz)

• 2 Bad cores (+25mhz)

[lone mango]

cberpuk

[fresh timber]

Damn you have little room

What ru hoping for out of this overclock?

More gaming fps?

[lone mango]

I think he is doing it to do it ngl

fr

[tall pine]

Mostly tuning for the sake of tuning because I enjoy optimizing stuff.

I am seeing improvements though.

The tune on CCD0 has gained me about 3-5% without RAM oc which when I tuned at 6400 previously netted about a 15% increase in Marvel Rivals

[lone mango]

ughhhhhhhhaiwhgfuagbzghy

i dont need it but i do want it

[lone mango]

Yeah pbo is pretty small

[fresh timber]

I’m reducing my Undervolt

Cinebench crashed

[lone mango]

I got like a 5% increase in cinebench

[tall pine]

Oh btw @fresh timber while I can't hit 5.95 under load on most of CCD1 Ilthe entire CCD however does hit 5.967Ghz

[fresh timber]

Damn

[lone mango]

i mean ill take it because its free perf

[tall pine]

I am just struggling to get 5.967Ghz effective under load

Oh by the way

@lone mango, @fresh timber, 6528mhz 1:1 is stable 😄

On the RAM I mean.

[lone mango]

I couldnt do 6400 on mine at 1.285 or something like that

for some reason i did not want to go to 1.3

oh because of asrock concerns

[fresh timber]

Imagine if we had the tools amd and intel used to test stability

[lone mango]

[tall pine]

I am running 6528 at 1.28v SOC but I haven't tried lowering yet.

I was doing 6400 1:1 with 1.215v

Nitro on the 6400 tune was 1/2/0

[fresh timber]

220w is much more sustainable

[tall pine]

Do I push for higher instant clocks

Or higher effective clocks

[fresh timber]

whats more performante

[tall pine]

Instant better for light stuff like games, file transfer, etc. effective better for heavy multi thread tasks

[fresh timber]

crazy how im right under my 5.6ghz score

but being stable

[tall pine]

@fresh timber I got Core 8 to hit 5.95Ghz effective!!!

[fresh timber]

Pog

I wish you could just dump voltage

[tall pine]

Messed around with Fmax and tweaked the specific core's CO value.

[fresh timber]

Ima tune my TVB settings so I downclock before I even have PL and thermal problems

[tall pine]

Agreed.

My target stable clocks are:
CCD0 = 5.8Ghz
CCD1 = 6Ghz

[fresh timber]

run 3d mark

[tall pine]

I don't have it installed rn

Want me to install and try?

[fresh timber]

once i get a 14900k or something my scores skyrocketing

[fresh timber]

dont get distracted

focus on ur goal

one more ccd left

[tall pine]

Two. I am dialing in rough numbers then going back over to do a per core tune

[fresh timber]

oh

im limited by my cooler

i only have a 3000 rpm pump

[tall pine]

Core 8 is doing 5.96 and 5.958Ghz effective across the two threads.

[fresh timber]

i should get a new aio

a expensive one

[tall pine]

Do a custom loop.

[fresh timber]

lol im not ready for that

[tall pine]

Around $500 if you do just CPU.

[fresh timber]

im good

ill take a $200 lcd aio

mainly for the lcd

[tall pine]

Rip

Yes or no to 6Ghz?

[fresh timber]

do it

[tall pine]

Make some new changes

[fresh timber]

6giggle huz

[tall pine]

You think it will hit it?

[fresh timber]

yes

your at the edge

just beg amd to let u use more voltage

imagine a button that can apply diffrence oc profiles depending on the aplication

like gaming i could stay at 5.5ghz but firefox only needs 3.3

i just realisde it does that for ru

[tall pine]

That's be lovely

To set x frequencies for specific apps

[fresh timber]

yeah

i want max for gaming

and gaming, im not running 100%

[tall pine]

Oh lmao I was tryna figure out why I wasn't hitting 6ghz

[lone mango]

wtf

[tall pine]

I need to raise Fmax.

[fresh timber]

oh

i need more power limit i cant cool rn

ill get a new ocoler later and hit that

[tall pine]

5960mhz effective

Gonna raise Fmax and add a little boltage

[fresh timber]

the thermalright i want is only 2000rpm

so worst

[tall pine]

You on air right now?

[fresh timber]

no

im on a 3000rpm aio

another dude here with a lian li cooler can pull 330w on his 13600kf

[lone mango]

Is that a typo

[fresh timber]

no

[tall pine]

But what temps?

[fresh timber]

i lied 320

80c

88c

[tall pine]

Raised Fmax and lowered CO by 3.

Praying that at least 1 core does 6Ghz.

[fresh timber]

ooo

hydroshift

or i can get lcd fans that look p retty

[tall pine]

BSOD

[fresh timber]

is it bench stable

if i get a better aio ill try 5.8ghz

[tall pine]

Gonna raise voltage a lil

[fresh timber]

5.8ghz would be fun

[lone mango]

Me peaking 5.72 three times while playing minecraft on a small tower with one fan

[fresh timber]

idk guys

do i shoot for faster ram

i can get lamybe 4400mt/s to run

but thats gear 2

[tall pine]

7600x?

[lone mango]

9600x

[tall pine]

Not bad.

PBO?

[fresh timber]

😦

4400mt/s ram gear 2 or nah

[tall pine]

Never got into D4 tuning so I have no idea

[fresh timber]

l

ima go do it for fun

[lone mango]

https://www.amazon.com/ID-COOLING-CPU-Air-Cooler/dp/B0CLCPSMP5

This is my cooler

[lone mango]

yea

But really im in that 5.6 range

[tall pine]

6Ghz!!!

@lone mango @fresh timber

[lone mango]

[tall pine]

6.03Ghz Effective

[fresh timber]

I accidentally set my ram to 7000mt

[tall pine]

I am testing for Effective Clocks using Super Pi (8M)

Welp system just froze

[lone mango]

At least you hit it

[tall pine]

I think I know how I can fix it.

Going to opt for mixed boost clocks

So far so good.

I will be redoing my testing with Super Pi (32M)

Little harder to pass

[fresh timber]

My ram never sets log

[tall pine]

I am so close.

5.99Ghz

10mhz off

[fresh timber]

Okay I can’t go faster and I don’t feel like trying harder

[tall pine]

I need to pray that an extra -3 CO gets me 6Ghz effective and working

[fresh timber]

Ima test 3200vs 4000 I just wish Fortnite had a benchmark

[tall pine]

Cause I can't raise voltage anymore without exceeding stock limit

[tall pine]

Use Marvel Rivals for ram

The game loves RAM performance.

[fresh timber]

Do they have a benchmark

[tall pine]

Yeah

[fresh timber]

Bet I need something consistent

[tall pine]

I gained about 15% FPS by tuning RAM in that game

[fresh timber]

Assuming I should run all low graphics at 1080p

more ram heavy

[tall pine]

6Ghz!!!

@fresh timber

And it didn't immediately freeze

[fresh timber]

lol

[tall pine]

Still running

And hitting 6Ghz regularly

Both threads hitting 6Ghz!

Dammit

Froze.

[dense locust]

Too much work

[tall pine]

Going to lower CO some more.

[tall pine]

?

[dense locust]

Ram tuning

[lone mango]

actually a good thing my cpu cant take 6400

[tall pine]

PBO way harder

[lone mango]

i just did 6000 bz timings and chilled

[tall pine]

Now that I have an idea of what each core can do

It's time to do per core

[dense locust]

I just set my ram to 6000

Good enough

[tall pine]

Retrying -35

Then going to fits with voltage if needed.

[tall pine]

Well here's the good news.

Core 1 on CCD0 is doing 5.823-5.825Ghz effective without problem.

Going to be working on doing CCD0 per core over the next few days.

[tall pine]

@lone mango @fresh timber @idle nexus 5.88Ghz effective on CCD0 (Core 1)!!!

No freezes this far and is passing tests

[lone mango]

[fresh timber]

i applied to a seasonal job just to buy dumb shit

[upper rain]

it happened

gl homie i hope you get the job 💪

[fresh timber]

i just wanna buy ddr5 crap

[frosty sinew]

Hey prime day

Some stuff acc went on sale

4000d is 23% off

[upper wedge]

they kinda just jacked up the rates before hand and lowered it to it's usual

[atomic current]

That's literally what they always do

Since like what 2008 or something

[upper wedge]

look in #tech-deals-discussion if you haven't tho

idgaf if people complain it's used or not

the refurbished and open box deal hunters are celebrating

[frosty sinew]

No i checked this one's acc lower

I took screenshots

[upper wedge]

lets see it

better not be like 89.99 vs 91.01

[frosty sinew]

https://a.co/d/9gTmCaq nah

Keep in mind its cad

[upper wedge]

ohhhhh

[frosty sinew]

154.99 down to 118

[upper wedge]

I was wondering why

[frosty sinew]

Yeah lol

[upper wedge]

ya that's OOS in US I think

[frosty sinew]

Oos?

[upper wedge]

out of stock

[frosty sinew]

Oh

Well frick

Im a little sad my buds 3 pro didnt go on sale but

[upper wedge]

I just reserved a nzxt case for 30$ at my microcenter lol

[frosty sinew]

What can ya do

[upper wedge]

check the refrub

see if it's discounted

[frosty sinew]

I cant even find one

[opaque sedge]

Bruh i aint mad at nintendo fans but it just hurts seeing em buy third party games available on other platforms with some being likely significantly cheaper too.

[wary fjord]

Cyberpunk on switch? Deym must be powerful rig

[unreal trail]

lol

only two cases with an actual game inside them

[opaque sedge]

30-40 fps depending on quality setting upscaled to 1080p with dlss

Apparently the dlc gets drops below 30

[surreal kernel]

guys quick question

Monitor AOC 24G4XE versus MSI g244f e2

which one?

[opaque sedge]

One of them better not be a cheap curved crap monitor

Ok one was curved…

[opaque sedge]

I would prefer the flat panel one (msi)

[surreal kernel]

it ain't curved

10 euro proce difference only thing im seeing is that the aoc one has speakers

[opaque sedge]

Hmm then whichevers cheaper ig

[surreal kernel]

kinda need speakers tho ngl that's why I asked if there's a bigger difference or not

specs or reliability wise

I cant find any answers on google

[opaque sedge]

Ik aoc is getting praise for their monitors

[opaque sedge]

Just found it

Both are 180hz similar specs

both are ips

[surreal kernel]

im stuck idk

[surreal kernel]

msi has external power dongle

and that's about it

aoc has speakers msi doesn't

[opaque sedge]

Yh thats the power supply

[craggy shoal]

Man

[opaque sedge]

Most monitors have it built into them nowadays

[surreal kernel]

man

[opaque sedge]

I had an msi ips monitor and had issues with it not waking up alongside my pc from sleep and not turning on, and returned it

Similar power supply being outside

[surreal kernel]

hmmm

[opaque sedge]

Usually with electronics some people will always have issues

And tbh the likelihood of u not getting issues if u pick one over the other isnt prolly gonna change

I would pick the one with the feature that appeals to u aka the built in speakers

[frosty sinew]

Help

I just blew 800$ on amazon

Lol

[opaque sedge]

…

Well if u regret it…

Cancel ur order

[opaque sedge]

[frosty sinew]

I dont

But still

I got 4000d, 2tb ssd, buds 2 pro and some cheapo earbuds for shower

And cable extensions

[opaque sedge]

Earbuds for shower…

Get a speaker man

Or use ur phone’s

Phone speakers have been great for a whole decade

[frosty sinew]

https://a.co/d/cH3Icx6 damn not on sale

[frosty sinew]

Won't work in dorms

Lol

Its fine 30 bucks for some ip68 ones

Bone conduction or smt

[surreal kernel]

wait no its this one

0.5 ms time

[opaque sedge]

They lie abt that crap 💀

Its for marketing purposes

[surreal kernel]

and also rapid ips and anti glare

but are those worth not having speakers ?

I cant find a single article on reddit about them

[opaque sedge]

Anti glare meaning it has a matte coating

[surreal kernel]

yeah that's kinda nice

[opaque sedge]

I would just pick the brand thats known for good customer service

[surreal kernel]

im buying it off of a website

if it breaks it breaks

I live in albania

no way im getting in touch with them lmao

[opaque sedge]

Rip

[surreal kernel]

chat got says aoc

aoc it is

Oh but also

display port or hdmi?

it has hdmi 2.0 and dp 1.4 I belive

idk what's better

[opaque sedge]

Use the cable it comes with

Pc gamers prefer dp

[surreal kernel]

does it even come with one

[opaque sedge]

Monitors do come with the cable

[frosty sinew]

frick u

[surreal kernel]

fun fact

my current one didnt

[opaque sedge]

That sounds weird

[opaque sedge]

Monitors should come with cables

[surreal kernel]

yhyh I bought it

thank you

[surreal kernel]

albania

[opaque sedge]

Somebody bagged it 💀

[surreal kernel]

prolly

wasn't cheap too

should've never bought from them

[opaque sedge]

But Yh usually monitors especially gaming ones that come with recent versions of display port or hdmi will include cables that match those versions

[craggy shoal]

Bro people will shit on your hobby and then go watch Love Island 😭💀

[wary fjord]

https://youtube.com/shorts/RrZOSxJhtcQ?si=bpJlIwAaYHTtU4FP

Real benchmark

My card could probably hold 3 plates

[frosty sinew]

how much can ur card bench

[opaque sedge]

Whats love island?

[frosty sinew]

oh no

[opaque sedge]

?

Yh its cool imma google it

[frosty sinew]

ill let him answer lol

[opaque sedge]

Oh its those weird dating shows

[frosty sinew]

the most ive gotten for pc building is that they get old fast and its a waste of money

which niether is true

1. old hardware still good

2. resale

[craggy shoal]

TV show. You join an island. Find a match. Cheat on that match. Get rich for winning. Get voted off. Not even real love. After the show ends, you and your match leave each other because y'all were in it for the money

[opaque sedge]

Reality shows ☕

[frosty sinew]

imagine having time for htat

[craggy shoal]

I get shat on and they either have no hobby or they watch Love Island lol

[opaque sedge]

The contestants are likely unpopular people in the acting or modeling business looking for exposure too

[frosty sinew]

i think doing whatever makes you happy is fine

well

[opaque sedge]

So they prolly aint genuinely looking for love too or even care abt winning

[frosty sinew]

as long as it doesnt like negatively affect anyone else

[frosty sinew]

ya think? lol

[frigid stag]

It’s not even true when hardware hasn’t moved much

[frosty sinew]

yeah ik

and a lot of stuff sorta plateaus in resale value

itll hold it for a while

[opaque sedge]

That sucks dude, but tbh it sucks more for them, they’re frogs stuck in a well full of slop they’re satisfied with

[opaque sedge]

Like nintendo fans

[opaque sedge]

(I dont hate em but they’re buying a half a grand console only to get third party games mostly… stuff thats available on other consoles and even pcs likely for cheaper…)

[frosty sinew]

ok time to tear down pc

[opaque sedge]

That just hurts to watch

[frosty sinew]

gotta get it up on fb to sell asap

esp when i work 12hr shifts the next 2 days so i wont be on it anyway

[craggy shoal]

I need to sell my Ender 3

[frosty sinew]

I just bought a core one lol

[craggy shoal]

Funny story. I sold it to my friend for $100. He got into 3D printing and ended up getting a Bambu Lab P1S. He had to move and just gave it back to me without charging me. I’m about to sell it again lollll. Up to a $200 profit given that I got it for Christmas a couple years ago

[frosty sinew]

Lol

Goodbye and good riddance bad motherboard

[craggy shoal]

What's the advantage to Prusa printers? I feel like they’re overpriced but I haven't heard of much else. But I’ve also heard that they’re good for reliable prints. Idk why else people would buy them over Bambu Lab (if we're talking about reliable prints)

[frosty sinew]

Well they aren't made in China for one

Basically on par for bambu

But bambu has done some not so nice things recently

So prusa it is

[craggy shoal]

Ehhh idc whether the printer is made in China. I have my network locked down

[frosty sinew]

And the lack of repairability

I just don't trust them 🤷

Both are good printers for printing tho

Omg

I forgot about this lmao

Usb powered by sata

Because I needed it to turn off when my pc went to sleep

[surreal kernel]

mine was missing it

im using a old hdmi cable

and when I say old

I dont even know what version it is

I found it in my dad's tool room

pretty sure it was the one that I used to hook up my ps4 with

I think

I sometimes wonder if its the reason that I get a bad experience with my monitor

having constant 144fps and the game looks chopped as hell and I blame the 60 hc

[frigid stag]

You can check if it’s 144hz

In Windows

[surreal kernel]

no dont worry I know the monitor is capped at 60

[frigid stag]

Ah

[surreal kernel]

Its a 4k 60 hz Samsung

dad bought it for productivity

ima run a double monitor setup tho and use the 24 inch that i bought for gaming and the other one for media

[frigid stag]

Fair

[surreal kernel]

discord Netflix and whatever

or it might be the punch it received a year ago

[frigid stag]

[surreal kernel]

or it might be my eyes

I dont know

I do have glasses afterall

[frosty sinew]

This board is beautiful

Time to put pcie gen 3 ssds in it

Lol

[modern imp]

inb4 gpu is now at x8

only the slots labeled in blue will not cut gpu lanes

[acoustic palm]

@fresh timber im actually gonna crash out

my screen time keeps bugging out and going off at 2 hour

[modern imp]

for whatever reason the bottom 2 pcie slots are not sharing lanes

so if you have some extra 3.0 SSDs I'd just get a passive pcie to m.2 adapter card

[frosty sinew]

I don't think so

Oh odd

Only one of them takes lanes

[modern imp]

two

both M.2 B and C do

[frosty sinew]

Wack

Not a big deal tho

My gpus only 3.0 amyway

[upper rain]

inb4 cut down 12GB 96 bit

[honest birch]

Bruh lmao such a shit board

[upper rain]

seems fine tbh, just probably overpriced bc asus tax + strix tax

[honest birch]

My board has two cpu linked m.2 slots

🙏

[honest birch]

Its aorus

Not asus

[upper rain]

i'm blind

but like actually, i lost my glasses

[honest birch]

I have an aorus board, b650 pro ax

I can populate 3

[upper rain]

i have an aorus b550, am4 baybee

on MSI with my AM5

unrelated but i wonder if altering the layout in this way is part of what causes Lion Cove to underperform and Crestmont to overperform relative to RPL/ADL adjacent architectures

[modern imp]

Completely unrelated

Also crestmont is meteorlake

Not arrow

[upper rain]

i can never keep up lol, did desktop arrowlake reuse the old cores?

[modern imp]

No

[upper rain]

Skymont then

[tranquil pebble]

too many lakes

[frigid stag]

Not enough bridges

[upper rain]

intel ran out of bridge and fell into the lake

that's why they're floundering a bit

took a break to dig a well first though

[frigid stag]

They had a canyon before

[tranquil pebble]

Devil's Canyon... aka Haswell Refresh

i7 4790k for example

[frigid stag]

It added newer instruction set iirc

[tranquil pebble]

pretty sure clocked a bit higher too

and then broadwell came and it was pretty meh

I want one anyways though because funny 128 MB eDRAM

[frigid stag]

Ye it’s nice, it beats newer CPU’s in games

[frosty sinew]

Who invented this

I wanna thank them

Thats an amazing idea

It makes it one plug

[tranquil pebble]

one of my most hated parts of pc building ngl

[frosty sinew]

Fr

Trying to find the stupid connectors in the dark

[rancid juniper]

24pin ATX power...

[frosty sinew]

Nah

Get stronger

[rancid juniper]

that and the feeble RGB connector

[upper rain]

gigabyte has been providing those for a while now. i got one with my b550 5 years ago now

[frosty sinew]

That I agree with

[frosty sinew]

Oh lol

[frigid stag]

Should I try and see if it makes my pc unstable

[rancid juniper]

yuh

[tranquil pebble]

USB 3.0 header...

[rancid juniper]

THIS

thing would break with only a slight touch

[frigid stag]

Is that the blue one

[tranquil pebble]

yes

[frigid stag]

Ye it’s hard to unplug

Feels like it can break

[tranquil pebble]

because it CAN break lol

I have seen pics of the header detached from the mobo

or this

[frigid stag]

Yikes

[tranquil pebble]

good news is that is repairable

bad news is... its a pain in the rear

only internal connector I have seen where the above is somewhat common

[frosty sinew]

@modern imp what's the best place for my 3 m.2s? Or does it not matter

[modern imp]

2nd and 4th

If you don't want to steal GPU lanes

[frosty sinew]

Yeah but the third one makes it run at x8 anywau

[modern imp]

Using 1 or 3 will make the GPU run at x8

[frosty sinew]

Apparently even a 5090 loses like 1% performance at x8

I have a 6700xt

Yeah its fine 6700xt doesnt even saturate a 3.0 bus apparently

[tranquil pebble]

wonder how many 1.0 lanes you would need to feed a 5090 if the 5090 could use infinite lanes

[frosty sinew]

Too many

But yeah I just googled it 6700xt pcie 4 vs 3 and its the same

Cuz 4.0x8 is the same as 3.0x 16

And 5.0 x 8 is 4.0x 16 so im fine

[idle nexus]

it should be detatched from the motherboard. I hate that header lol

& it seems like cases don't often have connections for the USB C header

[frosty sinew]

I still cant get over this mobo lol

Its so dense

Its like 4 lbs

[tranquil pebble]

I have heard of the black part coming off the mobo before too though

just overall a bad design

[idle nexus]

ya really bad. the little cutout for "foolproof" seems like an after thought too

[upper rain]

happens with pwm connectors on GPUs a lot too lol

[idle nexus]

at least you can mostly fix that with this lol https://www.amazon.com/CRJ-4-Pin-Adapter-Sleeved-Graphics/dp/B07Q5BTTDX?

wait jk that has female fan part wth

okay this I meant https://www.amazon.com/CRJ-4-Pin-Female-Sleeved-Adapter/dp/B07S4L41TN?

[atomic current]

I will not be nuking zuckerblob, but I will be doing something at least 2/3 as explosive

[pliant berry]

could be anything, cpu lock up, out of memory

Big mistake 💀

[idle nexus]

tbh I dunno enough about it lol

I hadn't really played turn-based in a looong time (like Pokemon lol) but Expedition 33 was pretty good

turn-based can be good. It makes you focus more on strategy than just reacting

[icy ore]

Wondering how TGA going to be this year

E33 GOTY?

[velvet summit]

this meme made me laugh more than i should've since i've seen both on the play store

death stranding 2 goty 🙏

game awards has always just been a popularity contest

not what actually is "good"

[pliant berry]

There were a lot of good games released this year so far

[misty sparrow]

Mario Kart 8 cars be like

[misty sparrow]

Mindseye is a game of this year

[velvet summit]

????

we just don't buy their games lmao

probably like 100 on launch

[misty sparrow]

GTA6 aint out yet

by the time it does it's probably gonna be more stable than 76 at launch though

[pliant berry]

Yikes

[misty sparrow]

Rockstar isn't a company that would do that lmao

[velvet summit]

talent with time crunch and/or budget being allocated in the wrong spaces would still be garbage

[misty sparrow]

they're not gonna ship a flagship product like that and have it be buggy at release

[pliant berry]

I would say I have a little more faith in rockstar

[misty sparrow]

Not Fallout 76 buggy

or Cyberpunk buggy

[velvet summit]

pokemon games havent been that good since like the ds era tbh

[misty sparrow]

expecting a pokemon game to be good at launch is like a 1 in a million chance

or good ever is that slim

If I could put in minimal effort and get a lot of money for it, I'd keep doing it

keep putting in little effort and expecting nothing to change as long as the cash rolls in

i agree with you

if gamefreak actually tried they'd probably have something like Palworld on their hands

[pliant berry]

Pokemon was the start of gacha games 💀

[velvet summit]

https://tenor.com/view/futbol-soccer-goal-video-games-ea-fc-24-gif-12484686773295291197

[pliant berry]

Palworld kind of died off, not surprisingly though

[misty sparrow]

fundamentally it is a good game

they just need to keep adding stuff

[velvet summit]

anybody could've sued anyone

whether you win or not is a different story

[sinful blade]

Nintendo has more money
They’re always the big dog, even if they copy others

Scummy company

Yes

Nintendo once sued a YouTuber for having the name “pokeprincess”.

She was a terrible person anyways, but the point stands

[proud jackal]

What's on sale thats worthy

[upper rain]

i'm pretty sure they've done that before lol

[pliant berry]

so far i got little nightmares 2, steins gate, and schedule 1

They use 330w at the max

no excuse for that to melt

True

My 3080ti pulled that amount on average
