@wary fjord

[rough zinc]

Houses these days are around 1 mil lol

50k and even 500k are a huge jump between

[fresh timber]

If do that

[rough zinc]

And most people dont buy a 50k car outright

[fresh timber]

I’ll buy a 50k car living in an apartment

Why? Cause I don’t wanna own a house rn

[rough zinc]

Hell i got an 70k car and i might as well be living in an apartment rn

Tho I do have it paid outright

Not the case for 99% of people tho

[wary fjord]

if im gonna spend 50 grand on a car i want those van with home furniture inside

xD

i want to be cozy on it

[fresh timber]

I’ll buy a house when I’m in the mood of repairing crap inside it

If I have a house I’m having 10 gig ran everywhwre

And to my office space I’m running 100gig

[rough zinc]

Wishing you the money for that lol

[fresh timber]

Until then I will be an apartment guy

Lmfao

[rough zinc]

Ill buy a house once im out of college but probably will be in an apartment for a few years

[wary fjord]

hmm tempting.

[wary fjord]

[rancid juniper]

its a good entry card for 1440p, there were 3060 12gb options but its not great

[rancid juniper]

dude definitely got a wall full of plans

[dusk knot]

Ikr.....the 5080 SUCKS!!

I can't even get 240fps in every game. What life is this!?

[wary fjord]

[wary fjord]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jXMaS8e8oo

lol

this was up 9 hours ago

sell him your 5080

[upper rain]

why? renting is throwing money away

[wary fjord]

renting only nice if u doing it for business type

but if u gonna setllte with renting for the rest of your life

deym you a good customer ❤️

thanks for making them a lot of money

[upper rain]

depends on where you live, i'm looking at decent starter homes in safe neighborhoods at like 250k. bit out of the way, but i like that anyway so meh

[fresh timber]

NUH uh

[opaque sedge]

I got an ultrawide oled and ngl… my 4070super is not getting good performance on it 💀

[fresh timber]

Renting is peak

[upper rain]

it literally is lol, you're spending money on nothing

[upper rain]

https://tenor.com/view/helldivers-helldivers-2-typing-bug-scout-bug-gif-13311446608745300663

No, I’m spending money to live somewhere

[rancid juniper]

renting is peak?

[wary fjord]

how much is the acceptable renting price at usa?

[rancid juniper]

😂

[lone mango]

people thought arc was gonna get smoked by next gen low end but look

[upper rain]

nothing tangible

[fresh timber]

Air con breaks? Not my problem, the electrical break? Not my problem

[lone mango]

I thought this too

[fresh timber]

Fridge dies? Not my problem

[rancid juniper]

absolute joke

[dusk knot]

I will. Need that 6090 xtx super mega ultra

[upper rain]

wait until you find out that the landlord is making money. ie you're spending more than he's putting in

[fresh timber]

Bold you to assume I can afford to replace a air con

[upper rain]

i see it getting smoked by last gen low end dawg 😭

[upper rain]

you think the landlord is going to do it? he's going to call the hvac guy same as you would lol

[wary fjord]

arc does smoke them

[fresh timber]

But guess what, now they have to spend $500 to fix it

[wary fjord]

3%

[fresh timber]

I don’t

[wary fjord]

smoke

[upper rain]

5050 is quite low hanging fruit. price wise yeah comparable

[fresh timber]

I don’t have $500

[lone mango]

[rancid juniper]

lol, still no B750 and up

[upper rain]

but you have all the money to spend on rent that pays the landlord AND the hvac guy

[upper rain]

the die doesn't exist for that

[lone mango]

6700 xt is still faster than 7600, but that is what the b580 is basically

[rancid juniper]

you dont think they'll ever release?

[fresh timber]

Bold of you to assume I am afford a unexpected cost

Rent is predictable, air con isn’t

[rough zinc]

...thats the point of an emergency fund?

Literally budgeting 101

[rancid juniper]

unpredictable landlords

🤔

[rough zinc]

Unpredicted rent increase goes hard

[rancid juniper]

fr

[fresh timber]

L lease

[dusk knot]

So who has seen FF4?

[fresh timber]

my landlord peak, they give me money

[upper rain]

put the money you'd spend on rent into a savings acc or invest and you're in the same position but with more money dawg. like genuinely explain to me how the landlord is making money and paying for all this stuff on your rent, but you pocketing the rent and putting it into a home would cost more money WITHOUT THE MIDDLE MAN of paying yourself

[fresh timber]

hear me out

looses job, instead of figuring out what ima do after i get kicked out, i have to now figure out how tf ima keep the house

[lone mango]

loose

[fresh timber]

renter: just gotta find somebody to crash with

home owner: OMG THE HOUSE NOOOO

AHHH

[upper rain]

homie if you lose your job so badly that you can't bounce back, your house is an asset that you can sell 😭

no such luck if you're renting

[fresh timber]

morgage

[rancid juniper]

I'd rather be a home owner any day of the week

[fresh timber]

morgzage

[craggy shoal]

"morgage"

[upper rain]

landlord's paying that shiz too dawg, on your dime mind you

[fresh timber]

id rather rent a room in my moms place

[craggy shoal]

"morgzage" 🥀

[lone mango]

irrecoverably over

[rough zinc]

Bro really wants to move back into his mom's plac3

[upper rain]

this is unironically the way. stay with ur parents if it's tolerable until you can afford a downpayment on a started home

[fresh timber]

"How can I make this worse?"

[upper rain]

irregardless we're killing him with hammers

[fresh timber]

u think ima move out

im staying at home even when i have a good job

[rancid juniper]

There are some people dumbfounded on others living with their parents until like 25+

[unreal trail]

hi

[rancid juniper]

Probably higher due to how bad the economy is rn

[fresh timber]

i can afford a downpayment right now

[rough zinc]

Apartment only makes sense when youre starting your career and dont know where youre settling

[fresh timber]

we dont talk about how my moms house is an appartment

[rough zinc]

Median down-payment in the US is like 50k

[fresh timber]

its about stress manamgnet

[fresh timber]

im slightly below that

but close

i ❤️ being spoiled

[rough zinc]

And yet you still want to rent

[rancid juniper]

Californians after seeing their rent:

[fresh timber]

yes

it makes more sense to me

im almost 19, in school still. just makes sense

[sour falcon]

Dayum

[fresh timber]

i can put that money into other places like a car, insurance, etc

health insurance alone will drain that within a fwe years

[sour falcon]

Bro went from zero to hero

[rancid juniper]

I know nothing of financing but figured rent/loans = bad

[upper rain]

i'm sure it does, but that doesn't mean you're right

[sour falcon]

I wouldn’t say rent is bad

Maybe RTO

[fresh timber]

my moms main point about renting is the stress that goes along with it, less stress than owning a house

[rough zinc]

Loans are only bad if the interest rate is high ans you cant pay them on time or in advance

[rancid juniper]

What's that?

[fresh timber]

yeah and thaat

intrest rates are high as hell rn

why the hell would we buy a house now

[sour falcon]

Rent to own

[rancid juniper]

Oh

[upper rain]

that's fair yeah

if you can't scrape together enough for a downpayment

[sour falcon]

Less money in segments but they charge out the ass in the end

[fresh timber]

nzxt is that oyu

[sour falcon]

Well, some places do

Rent a center was used as an example in my finances class and my mind was blown

[fresh timber]

i see my self renting an appartment with my girlfriend

right @craggy shoal

[sour falcon]

I rent an apartment alone

[rough zinc]

breaks up

[craggy shoal]

Bro what girlfriend 💀

[fresh timber]

its funny, my mom tried getting me to move away to school

[fresh timber]

dawg, you wanna move to ur gf appartment

silly motor

[upper rain]

[fresh timber]

Ngl I wish nvme slots was standard in gpus that don’t even use all the bandwidth

[wary fjord]

non of that matter if he was born as a female.

[rancid juniper]

That's gonna take alot of time for that to happen, and I doubt they would change that standard

[fresh timber]

5060ti owners could deadass fit two nvmes

[wary fjord]

ur esekied adventure will start when u wake up

u got one op skill what is it?

[rancid juniper]

Being reborn in Asia sounds like hell probably

[rancid juniper]

In what way

Oh

Maybe but aside from that

[misty sparrow]

It's all fun and games until you realize North Korea is a part of Asia

[rancid juniper]

It's over

[dusk knot]

Hmm.....I would prefer China

[wary fjord]

nk are chill aslong u dont introduce anime to them

[misty sparrow]

Could do like a Fallout thing where Charisma is the only SPECIAL stat at max, while the other stats are at 3 or something

but in anime form cuz idk how anime works

[rancid juniper]

One step and you gotta take a 2 minute break

[wary fjord]

hahaha

that sounds like xD not a spell issue

thats health issue

[rancid juniper]

Lol

Sweating and everything

[dusk knot]

Rip

[wary fjord]

just dont case a spell.. let your harem do the spells

[rancid juniper]

Megumin will definitely legalize nuclear bombs

[wary fjord]

just be smart

[dusk knot]

Makes sense

🤔

[rancid juniper]

Honestly romance in an isekai is typically lackluster

[wary fjord]

i mean sometimes thjey really have 1 cute character

thats only gonna be the talk of the show

for the rest of season

[rancid juniper]

Gotta get the audience's attention

[wary fjord]

hahaha forget the plot

[misty sparrow]

dont animes do a thing where they have a character that looks 13 but is a thousand years old or something

[wary fjord]

yeah they does that.. because anime are model by a cat face xD

so the age is not that noticable

[rancid juniper]

The plot be your average

-i got into this world and I gotta get stronger

-my party betrayed me and I gotta get stronger

-died from overworking and I gotta get stron--- no actually I wanna relax

Those types I be seeing

[wary fjord]

i cant imagin living 1k years .. sounds like u witness all deaths of your friends xD

then u gonna start a new one

haha

u probably get nonchalant after few years

[rancid juniper]

At some point you'll be unable to remember people or stop trying to

[wary fjord]

then theres

uses 1% of their strenght and blast the whole village...

[rancid juniper]

Those are by far the most cliche thing out there

Like bro we get it, you're strong

And the character himself don't even know that but everyone around him does

😭

[wary fjord]

theres reverse one also

they under value themselves

but they are strong

they just dont aknoledge it xD

[rancid juniper]

Yea

Slimes and goblins beware, you'll turn into an XP farm

Every time

[rough zinc]

Nah youre getting grilled rubber soles

[rancid juniper]

WHAT

[rough zinc]

Only you tho

[rancid juniper]

Most sane car person

[wary fjord]

the secret of cooking is.. just drown everything on a butter

it will turn out great

xD

[rancid juniper]

So add apple to butter

🤔

[wary fjord]

thats like keep doctor away + bring the doctor now

combination

aint that cancel out haha

[rough zinc]

Butter makes everything taste good

[rancid juniper]

You'll cause a black hole

[rough zinc]

Especially tires

[wary fjord]

ikr

1. Butter
2. MSG

the ultimate cheat

[rancid juniper]

3. SUGAR PREMIUM

[wary fjord]

premium?

[rancid juniper]

Yea, fresh from uh

Sugar canes?

[wary fjord]

wait starfield is not new?

deym 5 times hehe

Idk about the other one but x2h is good

not worth the stress of figuring out whether i killed it or it's DOA after i tamper with it

[craggy shoal]

Yeah but life is too short to not be curious

[upper rain]

true

[opaque sedge]

U guys talking abt mice?

[opaque sedge]

Hmm ik the buildapc nerds gush over keychron mice as value picks

https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-m3-wireless-mouse solid features for the price tbh

And u can customize it thru a web launcher so no pesky software u gotta install like razer synapse

[craggy shoal]

Wait Keychron makes good mice now?

Yo I might get that and configure it through the web browser, as all mice should be

[opaque sedge]

Just like their keyboards

[craggy shoal]

holy nutt

[opaque sedge]

Seems like a dependable brand tbh

[craggy shoal]

Keychron is all I use lmao

[acoustic palm]

too late

I got the pulsar

[opaque sedge]

Oh thats neat

[craggy shoal]

Seems like a dependable brand tbh

Ohhh wait i get it

I feel dumb now

this mf 💀

[pliant berry]

I use the ergo keychron mouse whatever number it is

[opaque sedge]

Ngl i wanna get a keychron mouse too now

Really wanna get rid of the shite razer software from my pc

[pliant berry]

It definitely is cheaper made but I am happy with it overall

Web software is future

[opaque sedge]

Customization thru web browser sounds so convenient and nice and idk why i never gave it much thought till today

Like its so much of a better option than shitty peripheral software

Like for controllers for example

And ofc the loathsome razer synapse

[craggy shoal]

It's nice when you don't have to make an account to install the drivers for the devices you already paid for

[opaque sedge]

Man i hope keychron makes gamepads in the future too now

[lone mango]

I havent opened pulsar software in months because the dpi change was saved into the mouse

So I don’t mind the software

Only opened a couple times

Been close to half a year since I last did

[pliant berry]

I hate the peripherals that require the software to be running and don’t have to device

[lone mango]

Future logitech mice

Remember that? The forever mouse as a service

[lone mango]

[craggy shoal]

It really just needs smaller wheels and to be lowered. And then smaller wheel wells so the fitment isn't weird. People normally compare this thing to a Mazda CX-30, but you'd be comparing it to a a Mazda3 after making the modifications I just listed lmaooo

6600 still has the box so I could sell that separately. The 6700 xt does not

[wary fjord]

how di u manage to do that

show the whole cable

hehe

[lone mango]

Hmm its not bottom fans

[lone mango]

Wym

[wary fjord]

is the psu somewhere here

[lone mango]

Nah the psu is behind that cable

[wary fjord]

all cables are xD

its like octopus

[lone mango]

The perforated side

[craggy shoal]

PSU is lower and to the right of the square in that image lol

I have one YouTube video open

[wary fjord]

its so many cable it looks like im looking at the back

[lone mango]

When I push down the top panel and mess with it a ittle more it will be a lil better

[craggy shoal]

600 MB

bruh what

[lone mango]

I think the routing is clever at least. I hid eps behind 24 pin and have it going under the tower cooler with the fan cable wrapping around it

[craggy shoal]

What did you do to optimize it?

[lone mango]

The top part of the case is dense because of rgb being there too

Is this enterprise

I am thinking of putting enterprise on here perhaps

Oh I forgot you wanted to do that

tru…

Well a normie is gonna be buying this so I gotta put 11 on here

Probably enterprise

[tranquil pebble]

This is why I put 48 GB into my laptop

2x24

[craggy shoal]

Do they make 24GB modules for DDR4?

[upper rain]

no

[tranquil pebble]

that is DDR5 only

12, 24, 48 GB modules

[upper rain]

12GB DDR5 modules are ass

same with 8GB ones

half the memory banks

makes same clock performance notably lower

does anybody else have a usb drive that just sits there at 100% of a transfer

[atomic current]

guh

[lone mango]

I thought the micro center sticks were goated

maybe not the 32 gig

[atomic current]

I haven't played with my flashy drives in a while

I have one that's a 2x4 lego brick

[wary fjord]

its kinda hard to buy 32gb stick original on my place xD

the original are 64gb straight from kingston itself the rest are just fake ones haha

i just use it for bios update and one for windows.. what a waste of space

[lone mango]

Should I swap the 6600 for the 6700 xt in this system I am gonna sell and sell the 6600 separately? I still have the box for it so this seems like the better choice for me

[elfin mural]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jXMaS8e8oo

steve had to buy the 5050 himself

even in hk it's over msrp lmao

318 bucks for a 5050, yuck

[lone mango]

Brutal

Foxy what do you think I should do

[fresh timber]

@olive plaza told me a 6600 wouldnt sell

im in the same boat, just with 6600 and 7700xt

[lone mango]

Yeah thats what I am thinking

I guess I will sell it separately

[fresh timber]

i dont wanna get rid of 7700xt but if i have too

i could put the pc online and just put two listings, 6600 and 7700xt, which ever sells first sell and ill take other down kek

[elfin mural]

a 6600 is a bit of a hard sale

[fresh timber]

i dont want the rx6600 at all

i just need one gpu

[lone mango]

K gonna swap rn

[fresh timber]

give me money to buy a 3060

that wil sell

and ill run AI on it while i wait for it to sell

[elfin mural]

the ino3d 5050's quality is rough, oof

plastic backplate, meh heatsink quality

gotta cut so many corners to meet the msrp

but it doesn't matter anyway, it's just a 130w heat load

not too hard to cool

[wary fjord]

its 130w xD

but lets see the benchmark

waiting for nexxt gn video

[elfin mural]

same

im curious to see how the 5050 performs lol

[modern imp]

It's a 4060 basically

But pcie5.0x8

[dense locust]

sounds dumb

[elfin mural]

yeah

but at least it's something

not as trash as 3050

the 3050 was an absolute heap of trash

the 5050 is.. okay?

[dense locust]

i dont get why they cheap out with the x8 pcie when most people they are targeting will run boards with pcie gen 4 or lower

[elfin mural]

i mean, the 5050 can run pcie gen 4 just fine

without any perf loss

[dense locust]

i guess i over estimated the crapness of the 5050

i mean underestimated

does 5060ti suffer on pcie gen 4?

[elfin mural]

only slightly

[wary fjord]

5050 should cost 100 bucks ngl

[elfin mural]

1-4%

[wary fjord]

it has performance of a card years years a go

XD

[elfin mural]

4% is on pcie 3.0

but pcie 3.0 platforms are fairly old by now

[nocturne flicker]

5050 should be free as an apology gift

[wary fjord]

i think i have 4.0 pcie.. which is old too

[wary fjord]

yeah its something u bring as a gift if u visit a friend

like apples xD but gpu

its like a toy

haha

they can use it as temp gpu

[nocturne flicker]

I'd bring my friend apples rather than a 5050, I don't want to insult them

[wary fjord]

i mean what if they need temp gpu u know xD

[dense locust]

seems 5060ti suffer a lot with 8gb

[wary fjord]

5050 is only acceptable if its free

and has white and 3 fans

and has real heatsink

[dense locust]

5050 is an premium hdmi adaptor

[wary fjord]

and real backplate

that 5050 inno fooled me to think that backplate is metal

xD

they did a good job

[elfin mural]

if someone wants to buy a 5050 i'd throw them to a used gpu

lol

[lone mango]

If you have 8 gig and run out of vram yes

[nocturne flicker]

If someone wants to buy a 5050 I'd throw them

[dense locust]

time to upgrade my old 1070
5050 here i come

[dense locust]

if someone wants to buy a 5050 i'd throw them too

[wary fjord]

if a truck full of 5050 was get into accident and all boxes fell out

no one will pick it up

[fresh timber]

YES YES

IF U PAY ILL BUY ONE

[fresh timber]

ngl i want them

[dense locust]

wdym theres at least hundreds of dollars of rare earth in those gpus

[fresh timber]

fr

ill take a few

il ltake like 5 ngl

[wary fjord]

xD

[lone mango]

Ahh yes much better

[nocturne flicker]

I'll take one and frame it. Put it on the wall of shame

[dense locust]

i

would buy a b580

[wary fjord]

it kinda looks like a car xD

if u pop the hood

[dense locust]

not to use but as a set piece

[atomic current]

nr200 is tight af

[nocturne flicker]

Unlike the DDR GT 730 I have a 5050 would be worthless to me

Atleast the 730 is small and good for testing systems

[atomic current]

gt730 with 2gb ddr3 is peak

I have a lenovo one

[wraith fern]

ok

[lone mango]

nawh

[wraith fern]

👍

[nocturne flicker]

I have an Inno3D

[wary fjord]

5050 is for peasants .. nvidia looking down to those who cant afford

[lone mango]

Its right on the edge of not being sff

[wary fjord]

remember when 1010 exist

[atomic current]

I like using all big parts in nr200

[dense locust]

b580 is like $10 more than msrp right now nobody should buy a 5050

[lone mango]

Yeah that’s probably why lol the cooler is big

[atomic current]

cooler that's slightly too tall, psu that's atx, gpu is big

[lone mango]

154mm

[nocturne flicker]

If only B770

[atomic current]

idr what my cooler clearance is

[wary fjord]

the only problem i hate on tight cases.. is when a bug crawls inside xD its hard to shoo them away

[lone mango]

Also slightly faster too

[nocturne flicker]

Sadly Intel is just screaming into the void constantly and as such is too busy to release one

[lone mango]

Has its own ai upscaling and more vram

Crazy

[dense locust]

white tax strikes again

[lone mango]

I think they are trying to make something

[lone mango]

Literally nothing

[nocturne flicker]

They've been trying to do something for a while now

[dense locust]

wouldnt the die on a b770 be around 5080 size?

[nocturne flicker]

And yet no B770

Firing workers

[lone mango]

Who remembers white 4080s costing like $200 more

[nocturne flicker]

Fabs are a money sink with no profit

They are building them in the freakin' desert

[lone mango]

Especially with how intel tries to make a node but it takes a while so they go to the next one and they are still too slow so they go to the next one

[fresh timber]

wait does 9070xt match 4080

[lone mango]

It’s around there

Slightly behind

But p close

[nocturne flicker]

And they might just cancel all of them anyways

[dense locust]

9070xt pretty good gpu too bad nobody uses AMD

[acoustic palm]

cloud did you see i bought stuff

[dense locust]

youtuber: buy AMD!
also youtuber: uses nvidia

[lone mango]

Nurr

Mouse and mount came in?

[dense locust]

the fact 9070xt is still so overpriced is sad

[acoustic palm]

no i bought it like 8 hours ago tf

[nocturne flicker]

9070xt is a pretty good GPU too bad nobody uses AMD is selling it for anywhere near MSRP

[acoustic palm]

compared to competition (new market) its not at all?

[dense locust]

you can find 5070ti for msrp pretty regularly

[lone mango]

Retailers increase prices when stock goes down, and amd only makes a limited amount due to tsmc supply being completely booked

[acoustic palm]

usa? No

[lone mango]

Too many people bought them

[lone mango]

[acoustic palm]

5070ti is like 790+, 9070xt is 700$

[wary fjord]

nvidia x amd collab gpu when

[nocturne flicker]

The solution is AMD buy Intel silicon

[fresh timber]

i kinda regret not getting 5070ti

[wary fjord]

amd with tensor cores

[nocturne flicker]

Absolutely nothing could go wrong here

[dense locust]

yes, as we all know monopolies never have done anything wrong

[lone mango]

fr

[nocturne flicker]

AMD should have fabs again, they could put it directly next to the Intel one and put up a sign saying "Ours will actually be used"

[lone mango]

Brutal intel ownage

[nocturne flicker]

It'd be funny for five minutes until it bankrupts AMD just like it is Intel

[wary fjord]

aint intel already offer amd to make their cpu or someting

[fresh timber]

if u cant beat em, join em

[lone mango]

Sotru

[dense locust]

i thought it was for nvidia?

[nocturne flicker]

They said they'd be willing to contract out their fabs to make stuff for any company because Intel is willing to do anything to justify wasting a ton of money on fabs that'll have to be shut down within a year of service because the area they built it will have too little water for them to maintain production

[lone mango]

Nvidia fab

[wary fjord]

found the article

xD

[nocturne flicker]

Intel when the area undergoing a drought doesn't end up having enough water to maintain production on something that requires a lot of water: 😲

[wary fjord]

its just business .. they 100% wont reverse engineer it

[lone mango]

[dense locust]

what are intel fabs even doing right now

[nocturne flicker]

Screaming in futility

[dense locust]

well theres the rumors of a half refresh

[lone mango]

Doom

[wary fjord]

the fab intel talking about is on ohio.

it cost 20b to build a fab

[dense locust]

おはよう

[wary fjord]

jesus

[dense locust]

that pun is only funny if you understand japanese

[wary fjord]

20b thats like a lot in irl but not much on mmo games

[nocturne flicker]

It is a lot for something that turns no profit because nobody wants to use the dumpster fire that is Intel Fabs

[fresh timber]

im a fan of local fabs

[nocturne flicker]

I have been overly pissed at Intel tonight. I don't know why

[wary fjord]

fabs has nothing to do why they fail xD

[nocturne flicker]

I'd love local fabs if they actually ended up staying in business long enough to be used

[wary fjord]

the design

[fresh timber]

intel is too big to fail kek

[wary fjord]

intel is full backed by usa

it wont go down

lol

[nocturne flicker]

I'm just waiting for Intel to announce they are stopping construction for all current and future fabs because they are broke

[dense locust]

Intel is fine for now

[fresh timber]

intel has the market share

amd aint doing shit still

[nocturne flicker]

Intel is fine for now because they can tell shareholders they can just downsize more and maybe they'll eventually start profiting again

[dense locust]

They got the customer builders pretty much on hold

[wary fjord]

they lose the big one

the server part

[dense locust]

Prebuilds are probably still mostly Intel

[fresh timber]

intel has more stability

[wary fjord]

hehe sure sure intel ftw

[fresh timber]

from what i hear from some it people, they get more tickets for amd pcs than intel

[wary fjord]

true

[nocturne flicker]

Intel has seen a 38% drop in profit since COVID. There is a reason they've stopped issuing dividends and are on a firing spree

[dense locust]

Probably from custom builders and server

[nocturne flicker]

They are making less now than they did in 2009

[wary fjord]

some kvm and vps provider will charge u if u choose intel as cpu

because of maintance

like extra

charge for it

[nocturne flicker]

The funni economic crisis years

When nobody was buying PCs and PC parts

[lone mango]

I think they also lost like 10% market share since around 2 years ago or something

Ima check that again

[nocturne flicker]

Passmark says their CPU market share has roughly plateaued since 2021

[lone mango]

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/25/intel-drops-9percent-as-ceo-warns-of-chip-manufacturing-issues.html

[nocturne flicker]

They are doing so badly that if they can't get a single company to take a bite and contract some of the fab production, they will literally shut it all down

It is joever

Screaming. Into. The. Void. Of. Their. Empty. Fabs.

[wary fjord]

we cant let intel fall

i need cheap amd cpu

xD

[lone mango]

I think ima wait for a dip

I've heard, but haven't looked deep into it. What happened?

depends on when they bought. it's up like 2% ytd, but still down massively

-32% since last july lmfao

[royal crow]

Crazy

[velvet summit]

11 months ish https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/s/HQIVOoTfTk

Can't see the exact date on mobile

[royal crow]

My dad said he's glad he never bought Intel

[upper rain]

assuming they bought right after that 32% crash they'd be up to like $20.70 (today) from ~$20 even lol

even if they'd put that into basically any mainstream cryptocurrency they'd be way ahead of where they're at now lol

[velvet summit]

Oh the screenshot said what their share cost was

Their average share cost was 30 dollars

30.45

[arctic lily]

Is he going with ryzen

[velvet summit]

He's still cooked

[royal crow]

Im building for him but yea

[arctic lily]

Nice

[arctic lily]

Less cooked

[royal crow]

Slightly

[velvet summit]

Still down 10 dollars per share of 700k worth of shares

[upper rain]

lmao homie bought BEFORE the drop then??

[velvet summit]

I think they bought after a bit of a drop but didn't wait long enough 💀

If I did my math correct, their 700k is now worth 476k

[upper rain]

stock price was $32 or smth then fell to $20

last july

if he bought at $30 he bought before the drop

[upper rain]

@lone mango

[craggy shoal]

"That's illegal" oh okay just making sure

[upper rain]

we needed an expert opinion

[velvet summit]

I reread the post and yeah... It made no mention of Intel stock dropping
So they basically bought right before the drop and had absolutely no stock diversity

They just spent 700k on a single stock

[upper rain]

466k now lol

bud should have bought BTC or smth

[velvet summit]

NGL I originally thought they bought it because it dropped and they wanted to gamble but looking at the post, that guy honestly thought Intel was safe

[upper rain]

investors are so funny to me bc i cannot FATHOM putting any amount of money into something i don't intimately understand

[upper rain]

he'd have >doubled his money if he bought BTC lol

hell he'd have nearly doubled it in four months kek

[nocturne flicker]

Should've followed Bogle and been a Boglehead

[velvet summit]

Depends on the amount
Or rather the percentage of your money

If it's just a tiny bit of money relative to your total assets then sure

[upper rain]

mhm mhm, definitely agree

[velvet summit]

But 700k is way too much to have absolutely no diversity

[upper rain]

yeah lol

unless you have baller money and that's like a weekend trip to europe money lol

[nocturne flicker]

[upper rain]

true, he should have just got a 100 trillion USD loan and bought out every company on earth

[nocturne flicker]

No

[pliant berry]

exactly

[icy ore]

yes

[nocturne flicker]

Maybe

[stray trellis]

i just bought some fans and they have a 3 pin and 4 pin headers

which do i use

[sinful blade]

Whichever matches your motherboard

[stray trellis]

it has both so

[sinful blade]

What fans did you buy

[craggy shoal]

That fourth pin is for PWM. "What does that do?" [Insert a bunch of fancy text that you could Google if you'd like, which would teach you better than I can explain]

Basically, just use the 4-pin connector

[worthy meteor]

If they are ARGB fans, with 2 cables per fan, the 3 pin is argb and the 4 pin is pwm, they use different headers

[craggy shoal]

oh that

[worthy meteor]

When in doubt, check the manual

[stray trellis]

so i should use the three becaue i want argb right

[worthy meteor]

The 4 pin pwm is necessary to make the fan spin, the 3 pin ARGB is necessary for the ARGB to light up

[craggy shoal]

Your fans are either ARGB or just RGB, not both. One cable is to utilize the RGB and the other cable is to give the fan functionality. Your question shouldn't be "should I use the three-pin or the four-pin connector," but rather "which connector goes where?"

I recently found out you can use framegen to work around frame limited games... like a game locked to 60 may be smoother with AMD Fluid Motion Frames on. This might be the one good use for framegen lol.

[rancid juniper]

Yea, been doing that for months on games like NFS Hot Pursuit or Burnout paradise

Like you said, this is the ONLY valid use for framegen

still find it wild that ubisoft's latest racing game (The crew motorfest) has it locked at 60

lol

[tranquil pebble]

I have Ubisoft and EA marked as blocked publishers on my Steam

They got the honor of being the only two I have felt the need to do that with

[rancid juniper]

extremely understandable

honestly it takes alot of will to block an entire publisher because one of the games inside all the filth can be good

[tranquil pebble]

Ubisoft's launcher nonsense is a big reason for me blocking them.

[rancid juniper]

too many launchers fr

wish Rockstar, EA, Ubisoft canned their launchers

[tranquil pebble]

Rockstar launcher at least works... Ubisoft launcher has given me problems many times

[rancid juniper]

still i find rockstar launcher unnecessary though

if anything its probably made just for authentication purposes
