That connector can acc carry it

When its fully inserted and not bent

And its bent in that pic

Lol

[lone mango]

Doesnt it make a click when you fully insert it

[frosty sinew]

No

Thats the problem

Theres a little more it can go

[lone mango]

It is fully connected

[frosty sinew]

Its bent

The cable bends it

Like it tilts it

And that amount makes the resistance go up and connector go to a new state

[lone mango]

Yeah but you can see the wires directly coming out of the connector are straight

That is an ok bend

[frosty sinew]

This was an issue for cases too

[lone mango]

Its just a trash spec

[frosty sinew]

Even still that would be my guess

Its more user error but when its so easy to make said error

Its the spec

[upper rain]

if only they fixed the issue that they only made an issue after already fixing it on the 3090 ti

[fresh timber]

hey

lord foog

i might get a job interview

what should i drop first check on

z790 and ddr5 perchance

[upper rain]

it truly baffled me that Nvidia+PCI SIG took a fully functional power connector that they already had working on 3090 ti and then went "y'know what, fck it up for the final spec lmao" and sent it

[fresh timber]

lordfoog guess what im doing

[frosty sinew]

Whats wrong with 4 8 pins

[fresh timber]

if ur gonna buy a whole new board surely you wait probably not super long for next gen, or if you really can't wait, why not go 265k? arrowlake is kinda neat ngl

[fresh timber]

see thats entering, buy premium ryzen land

[lone mango]

bro its so many bro we need one sleek connector

[frosty sinew]

Xt60

8awg wire

Boom

[upper rain]

i've beeb a huge advocate of "super 6 pin." basically you keep the same housing as a normal 6 pin, but it can pull 300w. because this is unironically wildly more acceptable electrically than what the new 12vhpwr is

[fresh timber]

imagine 12vfirehazard had thicker wires

[fresh timber]

im pulling 330w out of a single 8 pin

[frosty sinew]

Lollll

[frosty sinew]

-75w for pcie slot

[upper rain]

like it's unironically completely safe as long as the PSU socket is capable of outputting that much 12v from a single output

[frosty sinew]

Yeah the wires are overspec

[upper rain]

yeah that's literally what this would be. 6 pin has same number of 12v pins as 8 pin does

[lone mango]

Well thats if the card will actually decide to pull the full 75w from the board

[frosty sinew]

Except smaller wires and smaller connector

[lone mango]

I have seen a couple guys mention this in youtube comments

[fresh timber]

i know, two are ground

[frosty sinew]

Ltt did it iirc

[upper rain]

the 12vhpwr pins are smaller iirc

[frosty sinew]

Yeah

Exactly

[upper rain]

ah gotcha

[frosty sinew]

8 pins don't even look bad

[upper rain]

i thought you meant it the other way

[frosty sinew]

[fresh timber]

$0 cause i have no money

until i buy laptop

[tall pine]

What use?

[frosty sinew]

Cad renderinf

Need smtg good

Ideally 16 cores

Looking at 7950x and x3d and 9950x too

[tall pine]

Then that's a solid option, but if it's just being used for gaming then it's not recommendable over a 9800x3D.

[frosty sinew]

Yeah fs

It seems quite a bit faster than 7th gen too

[tall pine]

Check out 7950x. Newegg Refurb restocks it regularly for $340

[frosty sinew]

Is there any difference for x vs x3d in anything other than gaming

And is it that much

[tall pine]

I have purchased one myself. Works well, just a minor visual defect.

[lone mango]

no, its a few % faster than the normal in some workloads

talkin like 1-3%

[tall pine]

Well that highly depends on the app. Apps that need access to small amounts of information quickly may benefit from the X3D.

[frosty sinew]

A refurb?

I don't think they do that at lot on newegg.ca

[tall pine]

On Canada

No clue

I gotta go now but you will need to look into if your apps benefit from the V-Cache or not

[frosty sinew]

7950x is 650
9950x is 700
9950x3d is 860 used

I mean 9950x is probably fine lol

[lone mango]

Yeah I think 9000 pricing has killed 7000

[frosty sinew]

Yeah

[lone mango]

It is barely more expensive except for the 9700x

[frosty sinew]

Apparently there's issues core parking on x3d

[lone mango]

Used to be but its much less of an issue now

I would say it is barely an issue anymore

lemmie see how it charges

[tranquil pebble]

might be Notch's best post lol

[thorn quartz]

Guys, I noticed these lines on my monitor, any help?

[fresh timber]

it wil run 4800 prob but mhh

[thorn quartz]

Pixels are white, purple, blue idk why

[fresh timber]

ima do math to see best value

$479.99 +62

it ends up costing same

but with more ram

@nocturne flicker weary im in a pickle, i like the formfactor of the 2050 laptop, but then the 3050 one same damn gpu looking at benchmarks it has two ram slots, all i need is 16gb rn anyways so it shouldnt be a big deal right

i can prob buy it tommrow lel

oo bigger boy supports PD

[thorn quartz]

help I dont wanna have to buy a new monitor 😦

[nocturne flicker]

They are not the same gpu

[fresh timber]

they perform the same

[nocturne flicker]

The gpu in the thicker one is the 3050 mobile refresh

[fresh timber]

its a 3060???

[nocturne flicker]

Sorry

The 3050 mobile refresh has the perf of a 1060 6gb desktop card

[fresh timber]

what im hearing is, both are shit, one less shit

[nocturne flicker]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NpLQk8LYus

Joy, the model even has a rando channel doing comparisons with the different gpus on the LOQ

[fresh timber]

oh its a 20fps diffrence

meh

in some games they all run like poop

ugh how much to upgrade the bigger boy to a real ram amount

12gb aint it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2L5fufuJhQ

mhh with this cpu its doing 70fps

nothing a EGPU cant solve

[nocturne flicker]

If you are planning on using an egpu then just forget anything about the gpu because it won't matter

[fresh timber]

can this even fits

[fresh timber]

yeah, i just wanna make sure i can atleast play my main games if i dont haev a gpu with

ill just get 2050 and upgrade ram sense i have a good pc already and it wont matter that much

okay why are 16gb sticks like same price as 32gb almost

good good

16gb ram + linux wil be perfect

[misty sparrow]

laptop for school?

[fresh timber]

yes

i found this lenovo for super cheap

ima order tommrow if my MOM sends the money

good

m.2 expansion is good

[misty sparrow]

what kind of lenovo is it

one with an actual graphics card?

[fresh timber]

yup

eevrything els is junk

this thing seems lighter so i can like.. carry it too

a compermise im willing to take

[misty sparrow]

i would be doing the same thing but gaming laptops are pretty bad

and i could stream anything anyway

[fresh timber]

only reason im even going gaming is cause it happens to be better than everything els at this price

[misty sparrow]

i got a basic laptop a while ago for $25 but the only catch is that somebody left computrace computer tracking enabled

[fresh timber]

i wonder what 24gb sticks cost

the same

16gb it is

[misty sparrow]

might as well get 16

[fresh timber]

yeah im going 16, should be enough, if i care ill buy 32gb later

i get to choose between linux and windows whoooo

[misty sparrow]

do both

[fresh timber]

ill balance that 512gb ssd

2nd slot is reserved for gpu

[nocturne flicker]

Wait

[fresh timber]

if it works out well ima just stop brinigng my desktop to my dads house and nvme to pcie time

[nocturne flicker]

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Lenovo-LOQ-15-6-1920-x-1080-FHD-144Hz-Gaming-Notebook-Intel-Core-i5-12450HX-12GB-DDR5-512GB-SSD-NVIDIA-GeForce-2050-4GB-DDR6-Luna-Grey/9376216069

That is the 2050 version of the chonky one

[fresh timber]

oh

so now the only diffrence is formfactor

whcih one is easier to carry

[nocturne flicker]

Also it is $10 more, but you get extra sodimm slot

[fresh timber]

should i pull a buy the smaller one, see if i like it, if i dont return it typa deal

or other way around

my only requirments, i can hold it with one hand and not burn my self doing stuff like youtube

[nocturne flicker]

And the better battery

[fresh timber]

ill get chonker

cheaper easier for me to give more ram

i wish it didnt have all that in the back tho

[nocturne flicker]

It isn't cheaper, $10 more

[fresh timber]

i said ITS CHEAPER

cause i wont have to uprgade ram as quick

[nocturne flicker]

Ah, I get what you mean now

[fresh timber]

and like 32gb sticks cost more than 16gb ones

i can just add one stick, call it a day

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgJRkcEDiC0

watching this video

ohh its a single stick

single 12gb one

igpu, perfect ill be using that 99.9% of the time

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaZ9iVrg7h4

[nocturne flicker]

It has the stinky 2242 slot populated so you won't be paying the smol form factor upcharge if you get a 2280 too

[fresh timber]

yeah

[rancid juniper]

still a bit pissed that my laptop only has one nvme slot

no expansions

[fresh timber]

do u know any non gaming laptops that arnt dog poop at this price, i wasnt even looking for gaming and found a gaming one

[rancid juniper]

should've researched...

[fresh timber]

l

why didnt you

[nocturne flicker]

I don't understand the business segment specs, I never look at them

[tranquil pebble]

fortunately mine takes two 2280s

[rancid juniper]

i only looked at it from the surface, wanted a laptop that offered good battery life and performance so i looked at 3 main things: CPU/GPU/RAM

[rancid juniper]

thats good

[fresh timber]

i know one i want rfom that segmant, similar specs

but id rather buy a walmart laptop

[rancid juniper]

funny how victus skimped out on it but then you realize that this laptop is made by HP

😂

[fresh timber]

for never verson but idk

bulky and heavy 🤮

[tranquil pebble]

Acer Nitro V 15 is good in that way. Also has a sane internal layout

[nocturne flicker]

Mine takes 2 2280s and a 2.5inch drive

[tranquil pebble]

The two M.2 slots are on the opposite end as the CPU

[fresh timber]

i wish i had $1000 to just buy a ryzen ai 9 laptop ;/

[rancid juniper]

slowly regretting

but we'll see

[tranquil pebble]

mine is too thin for the 2.5 inch SSD lol

[nocturne flicker]

Chonky Clevo chassis go brrrrrrrrrrr

[fresh timber]

yeah i might go for the thingger LOQ just for portability, the main concern

[nocturne flicker]

Has external battery

[fresh timber]

reviews says its chonky and heavy

[rancid juniper]

@tranquil pebble i managed to get a flash drive that has an ssd inside

can take up to 10gbps

[tranquil pebble]

so a tiny PSSD?

[rancid juniper]

yea

1tb

will use it as expansion for laptop

its a fat one

[tranquil pebble]

it took long enough for this kind of product to come out

[rancid juniper]

i might actually give this one a video review

it seems interesting but i realized my laptop is limited to 5gbps

thats like slightly slower than SATAIII

[fresh timber]

yall think the bigger laptop will be harder to carry

[nocturne flicker]

The chonky one is an inch deeper and is 1lbs heavier at 5.2lbs

[fresh timber]

.-.

so not even that big of a deal

ima see how much a extra 12gb stick cost

ill just mix the 12gb stick with another stick

[tranquil pebble]

I put two 24 GB SODIMMs in my laptop

[fresh timber]

i just want 16gb ram

[rancid juniper]

BigDimms

[fresh timber]

upgradability is nice

[rancid juniper]

Avoid lpddr

[fresh timber]

lpddr4 is soldred

and i cant solder

[tranquil pebble]

lpddr of any version is soldered

[rancid juniper]

^

[fresh timber]

did i stutter

[rancid juniper]

And don't get those laptops that have like one ram soldered and includes one extra slot to upgrade

Honestly TF is that design?

[tranquil pebble]

cursed

[rancid juniper]

Fr

[nocturne flicker]

Cheapest sodimm not 8gb for DDR5 on Amazon should be $36, 16gb

[fresh timber]

16+ 12gb

cursed

28gb wam, perfect for me

[rancid juniper]

There is that but that is mega sus

[tranquil pebble]

8 GB DDR5 DIMMs are cursed

[fresh timber]

perfect skool laptop

[rancid juniper]

12gb dimms?

But why?

[fresh timber]

the laptop comes with a 12gb, ima just mix a 16gb and forget smh

[tranquil pebble]

12, 24, and 48 GB DIMMs exist because DDR5 moment

[rancid juniper]

And see the timings/speed don't match so it slows hella down

[fresh timber]

ehh idc that much

[rancid juniper]

🗿

How much you wanna spend?

[fresh timber]

im spending like $500 on this one

in budget

[rancid juniper]

Resolution target?

[fresh timber]

idc about dgpu this one happens to have a DGPU and 144hz display

[rancid juniper]

1440hz is crazy

Prefer batt life I'm assuming?

[fresh timber]

okay i keep going back and forth between chonky and small, i cant decide

[fresh timber]

if it last 4-5 hours im happy

[nocturne flicker]

I just took another look at the thin one, no backlighting on keyboard, so cheap

[rancid juniper]

Icic

[fresh timber]

i can just charge between classes or something

[rancid juniper]

Bad for night use

[nocturne flicker]

How much does it cost to slap a couple small white lights or something, no excuse

[fresh timber]

if i can get a cleaer view on the inside of the essential it will make up my mind

[tranquil pebble]

and so far I have bought 2 x 24 for my laptop and 2 x 48 for my desktop

[rancid juniper]

Speed & latency?

JEDEC 5200 on laptop, JEDEC 5600 on desktop

mhh

this isnt an Intel where slow RAM is gonna choke the CPU lol

[rancid juniper]

Not a dgpu unit right? RIGHT?

[fresh timber]

this has a dgpu

[rancid juniper]

Rip

[nocturne flicker]

A 2050

[rancid juniper]

Unrip

[fresh timber]

WWHY CANT THEY JUST SLAP a z1 extreme in this ;/

[rancid juniper]

Too expensive of a chip

[fresh timber]

..\

you know the rog ally is going for less rn

[rancid juniper]

Interesting

[nocturne flicker]

Well, the one in the video is a 3050, but it is the same thing with a different 50 class gpu

[fresh timber]

same motherboard it seems

[rancid juniper]

I'd say to go for a laptop with a 780m igpu minimum (anything ryzen zen 4 and up)

[fresh timber]

i just cant find any at $500

[rancid juniper]

Or somehow bargain with core ultra 200 series

Try that

[fresh timber]

do u know any at $500

[nocturne flicker]

Yeah, they just slap a different dgpu on the same board and call it a day

[rancid juniper]

I'll try

[fresh timber]

cause what about to happen is, im going to just buy this

which seems to be a 2050?

oh no its faster

[nocturne flicker]

Mmm, the Doctor Who on the blu ray is in 30fps instead of 24 or 25. Very smooth

[fresh timber]

welp i guess im going used again

tried new market

I guess the a2000 is a better buy

A lot more powerful

[rancid juniper]

Bro why is core ultra 200 so expensive tf?

[fresh timber]

Time to pick a os

[rancid juniper]

Not even a gaming laptop

[fresh timber]

That’s why I gave up

[rancid juniper]

Wth imma brb

[fresh timber]

And went back to eBay

I legit can’t find anything I like more than the 5560

Nothing is close to the build quality, IO, specs. Nothing

I need a new battery

Time to find out how much battery cost

https://www.ebay.com/itm/306369186362?_trksid=p4375194.c101770.m146925

[fresh timber]

coompooper

why is the market trash

[nocturne flicker]

The free market is only as free as companies allow it to be

Down with the third party used PC businesses and their terrible deals

Bring back the people listing used PCs at random prices because nobody knows what anything is worth

[fresh timber]

yeah

ugh

11800h is good right

[rancid juniper]

Because they found a way to make money out of people who can't see their scams

With all these crazy naming schemes n stuff it's easy to sell an actual potato for $$$$$

[fresh timber]

fr

ebay market sucks too if u dont know excatly what u need

[rancid juniper]

Yep

[nocturne flicker]

You buy potatoes? Alright I've got a mildly spoiled sweet potato, selling for $40 I know what I've got

[rancid juniper]

No lowballs or offers

[nocturne flicker]

No refunds

[fresh timber]

im hungry

[rancid juniper]

Real

[fresh timber]

im gaining weight tho ima stop eating

im limtiing my self to one pizza a day

[fresh timber]

ok i wana eat 😦

im still hungry

[nocturne flicker]

Consume

[fresh timber]

do i weary

wait lemmie check 6e price

crazy 6e cost less

[nocturne flicker]

Almost as if 6 and 6E are more well established and in significantly higher use than a standard only adopted at the end of last year

[chrome mirage]

I hate smart TVs. I wish I could buy a decent TV without the smart features.

[lone mango]

24 for that card tho is good

[lone mango]

Yeah best thing you gotta do now is buy a cheap one and dont connect to wifi

Connect a mini pc to it

[chrome mirage]

My main issue is the glitches they get. My TV had no picture from any input today and it also just has random crashes.

[lone mango]

Brutal

I have never had any issues like that

Just my issue is not owning the tv

.... this pisses off every nerve in my body

The amount of work I go through when transporting my pc. I seal the box with ducttape, place napkins at the IO, unscrew and transport the gpu and ram separately in bubblewrap, and I even fill the gaps between the strofoam molds with either peanuts or air bags then proceed to wrap the outside of the box with about 2-5 layers of soft bubble wrap.

I also mark which side is right side up to ensure the pc rarely flipped over or put on it's side

[lone mango]

I have a small and relatively light itx computer

I think moving that would introduce no problems

Not much space for components to move

And my card barely even sags at all

[tall pine]

I travel with an entire pc shop's worth of parts lmao.

Peripherals, Monitor, Arms, Comp[uter, Backup parts, extra boards + ram + cpu + gpu, and tools

[fresh timber]

The bait worked

[lone mango]

Yeah the monitor is the important one for me

[tall pine]

Every thing in total fits into 6-7 boxes (Medium-Large).

[lone mango]

I dont know how easy it is to scratch a monitor but I do know that it is not hard to do it

[tall pine]

I keep the original box.

[lone mango]

True

I just discovered what a Chiller is.

[lone mango]

I think the bag for it is the most important part

I’m hoping I can order laptop Tommrow

I just get to decide Linux or stay windows

[lone mango]

The 2050 laptop

Why did you drop the amd one

[fresh timber]

Jojo

Diffrent

I’m going back to original

Faster cpu and gpu

More power usage but it’s business grade

It’s faster than both

lol

[lone mango]

Understandable

[fresh timber]

It has better io too

Like. A lot hetter

Two thunderbolt 4 ports

[lone mango]

itx rabbit hole

I want to get a smaller case that does not have a horrid price

Maybe something like a meshroom

[fresh timber]

should i upgrade my montior to one that accepts usbc and has a KVM in it 🤔

would let pc and laptop share atleast one display

[lone mango]

I guess you dont have anymore hdmi ports on the monitor or something

Alr that ain't bad

[frosty sinew]

730usd

Roughly

Its fine it was free for.me

[rancid juniper]

Got the best gaming CPU in the world (so far)

[frosty sinew]

For 3 months

Best desktop cpu arguably

[rancid juniper]

3???

[frosty sinew]

Its slightly faster than 9950x

[frosty sinew]

Idk till amd releases 10th gen

[rancid juniper]

Oh

I don't think we'll see a 10th gen x3d chip for a while tho

[frosty sinew]

True

Still

Im set for like 5 yrs

At least

[rancid juniper]

And still no news of Intel arc

Joke company

[frosty sinew]

I ran my 3600 for 4 yrs

[rancid juniper]

Big upgrade

[frosty sinew]

Intel kinda falling off ngl

[frosty sinew]

From a 5700x yeah

3600 to 5700x was big

[rancid juniper]

5700x to 9950x3d was monumental

[frosty sinew]

Yeah fr

The cpu mark sxore is wild

Its at least 2x

[rancid juniper]

That moment when you're usually fine getting used cpus but avoid any used raptorlake processor

Either refurb, open box, or new for me

I wouldn’t be too focused on that, I had a 12 gen laptop that stopped working after a year

Upgraded to a 13 gen one and it’s been good

I have this same board except mine is the aorus elite. Basically the same as the pro but no RGB.

Its an okay board... it has some weird quirks about it

bios is a little funky

[frosty sinew]

Yeah I went for the pro cuz uhhh

Idk i felt like it

[frosty sinew]

Thats most gigabyte bioses

Lol

[deep parcel]

I went with the elite because I got a free ssd with mine

[frosty sinew]

Fair enough

Also cheaper

[deep parcel]

samsung 990 evo plus

[frosty sinew]

Idek what the difference is

[deep parcel]

yeah a little bit cheaper

[frosty sinew]

Dang nice

[deep parcel]

What cpu did you go with?

I have a 9800x3d

[frosty sinew]

Just bought a 9950x3d

[deep parcel]

oooh nice

[frosty sinew]

Yeah

Goated parents

Bought it for me as a grad gift

[deep parcel]

nice! definitely a huge upgrade from a 5700x

[frosty sinew]

Yeah 2-3x apparently

[deep parcel]

I had a 10700k before and its such a noticable difference

[frosty sinew]

6700xt gonna get cooked by it but

At least its easier to only need to upgrade one thing now

[deep parcel]

better to be gpu limited than the other way around

[frosty sinew]

Before it was gpu or cpu

[frosty sinew]

True

Esp when I do a lot of cad

[deep parcel]

I have a rtx 3080 with my 9800x3d... it uses this gpu to the absolute maximum

[frosty sinew]

I bet
