never compared the blues to the reds i have, but the blues seem to be better for gaming oriented stuff

plus both have a bass booster adapater if needed

[lone mango]

Honestly all three of them have a nice curve. You don’t need to adjust much for any of them

Bump 50 and 4k like 2db, or bump 300 by like 2 db for zero, or bump highs a little bit for red

Mine are all over the place bruh

[rigid sinew]

enchiladas were good

everyone liked them

[random osprey]

watching some streamers play bf6 and so far looks good, actually looks like a battlefield game

sniper glints are hella bright tho

[olive plaza]

I need an open box Gigabyte "ICE" motherboard for socket AM5 please and thank you LOL

Hmmmm....landed in one piece

[dusk knot]

10800x3d when

[dense locust]

Go to store, buy it, open it, return it, buy it open box

Don’t do this

[olive plaza]

any savings on the item being open box would be negated by the restocking fee

your plan is invalid

[dense locust]

Imagine having a restocking fee

[olive plaza]

... it's to cover for people who do things exactly like what you said LOL

that said I do see Newegg's got the board I'm looking for at $162

https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-b650e-a-elite-x-ice-atx-motherboards-amd-b650-am5/p/N82E16813145500R

so I think I'm good there

[dense locust]

I paid $294 for mine

[olive plaza]

I found an open-box Gigabyte RTX5070 Ice for $425 at micro center

so I'm just trying to flesh out the build here

[rancid juniper]

Open beta starts next weekend

The fact that an HDD is mentioned

Very interesting dice...

Specs doesn't seem that crazy but still skeptic

[wary fjord]

Even has ram speed requirements

😂

[rancid juniper]

This is new ngl

Games wouldn't go THAT specific

[proud jackal]

BU BU BU BU BUM BUM

[random osprey]

🗿

no pre-orders

[wary fjord]

It doesn't look like its hard to run

[rancid juniper]

This dude...

Not even regular edition just picked the highest one as well

[frigid stag]

Meanwhile mafia: 3080 ti recommended

With upscaling

[rancid juniper]

I mean typically dice games are light to run despite its looks

Their frostbite engine is great when used correctly

[wary fjord]

Is bf like cod or something

[rancid juniper]

😂

[random osprey]

a more realistic cod, or it used to be

[worthy meteor]

Just consider how the 2042 launch went

[dense locust]

No 4090 for 30 fps? This can’t be

[rancid juniper]

This is a fake modern game, not real

[worthy meteor]

ue4 slop instead of ue5 slop?

[wary fjord]

Ow it requires tpm

[rancid juniper]

UE5 slop solos all

Ez win

[wary fjord]

Just play bf clones at Roblox

[proud jackal]

Bum bum bum bum

[wary fjord]

Good enough

[proud jackal]

[rancid juniper]

Theo the first to preorder any game in this server confirmed

I would never

[worthy meteor]

What they should do is just take over battlebit

[frigid stag]

It’s ue4?

[rancid juniper]

No

Frostbite

[wary fjord]

Hmm so they have their own engine

Nice

[rancid juniper]

Dice afaik kept using their own game engine

[frigid stag]

Looks fine but idk how it’ll run

Looks more demanding than 2042

[rancid juniper]

Hopefully not like 2042

[wary fjord]

Using own game engine is nice lol.. all profit goes to them

[rancid juniper]

That game ran like an exploding microwave

[frigid stag]

At least it gets 60 fps on 1060

[rancid juniper]

If there's one thing they usually get right is spectacle

All these effects n such without much performance loss

Ok enough glazing them just don't preorder

[frigid stag]

Ye too expensive

Wait does pre order mean I get to play now?

[rancid juniper]

Paying the game in advance

[frigid stag]

[rancid juniper]

Sometimes you get preorder bonuses such as playing the game a week early

[frigid stag]

Paying to be a beta tester xD

[random osprey]

pre-order the night before it releases 🗿

[frigid stag]

Back in the day they paid you

[rancid juniper]

Pretty much

[wary fjord]

You get freebies i think

[pliant berry]

I enjoyed the story mode on some of the battlefield game, but other than that ehh. not something I would pay 60usd for

[wary fjord]

Like items that normies doesnt have

At first launch

[rancid juniper]

You are literally paying for a game you don't know will run or play well

[lone mango]

Still not hard to run though

[wary fjord]

Lol have u seen Theo's rig

XD

Def can run it

[lone mango]

You have to watch twitch and thats it

[rancid juniper]

Probably has lemme guess 9950x3d + 5090?

I believe it

[frigid stag]

If it’s below 120 fps I’m not playing it

[wary fjord]

Install potato engine config.ini mod

[rancid juniper]

I'd wait for sale, ain't no damn way their launch is gonna be anything but stable

Heck there may be some missing things the community wanted

[wary fjord]

Community is hard to please nowadays

They like grandpa shouting get of my lawn type of people xD the back in my day

[rancid juniper]

Lol in the Livestream a BF representative said the same thing

Or whoever that was (probably host)

[lone mango]

Rainbow 6

[rancid juniper]

[rancid juniper]

Doesn't that game pull insane fps numbers?

[frigid stag]

They got rid of vulkan cause they didn’t know how to use it 💀

And then dx11

[rancid juniper]

Ubisoft laziness strikes again

[frigid stag]

Apparently it was too much work, for a billion dollar company

People were dropping fps regardless of the setup

[lone mango]

Remember, no pre-order

[dense locust]

Checking my drive for bad

Dunno how reliable badblocks is

[lone mango]

there is a copy of crystaldiskinfo for linux called qdiskinfo

has the same layout and shows all statistics the drive reports

[dense locust]

sounds of gamers preordering

[misty sparrow]

switch 2 situation was hilarious

they said the same thing and yet it broke a record in June alone

[dense locust]

I expected as much

[proud jackal]

Maybe I should upgrade to 9950x3d

[rancid juniper]

Why spend more on such minimal gain?

[random osprey]

cause theo rich

he owns theo coin market

[misty sparrow]

Wouldn’t there be an OS in the middle

like a jack of all trades thing

[pliant berry]

templeos

[random osprey]

windows 7

[lone mango]

I am cooked

Secure boot needs to be on

great

[pliant berry]

does anyone really require that though

[lone mango]

Their anti cheat requires you to have it on

Guess I wont use linux for a few days

Wait

It only says for the open beta

[frigid stag]

1440p high 60 fps
1080p low 80 fps

Huh

[lone mango]

I dont understand that either

[frigid stag]

Ye u usually get more fps from ultra to high

[lone mango]

I think it is another one of those games where the difference between low and high is really small

[misty sparrow]

seems more cpu intensive because of the destruction and explosions n stuff

[lone mango]

Seems pretty balanced to me

If anything its more gpu heavy

3700x is already quite slow

[misty sparrow]

maybe

[lone mango]

a 5600 is faster in games because higher single thread

Man you should’ve seen the one I saw

[upper rain]

yes, i remember it being the moment when AMD had mostly caught up to Intel in games, while ofc offering muuuuch better multithreading

[lone mango]

I just got the bf6 closed beta code

[wary fjord]

Fair

[dense locust]

ok i got it working

had to run a specific terminal command

because of course i did

drive says 94% health

[main loom]

should i undervolt my ryzen 7 9800x3D

?

[wary fjord]

sure

-50mv~150mv what ever stable on load.

[main loom]

is it necessary and hard ?

will it boost preformance ?

[wary fjord]

no

hard debatable

[lone mango]

barely

almost negligible

[lone mango]

it is not necessary and also is not hard either

[wary fjord]

what u gonna get is better temp

[lone mango]

weird

should just run out of the box

what did you run

[wary fjord]

and microscopic perf gain

xD

[dense locust]

chmod a+x exampleName.AppImage

[lone mango]

Oh ok

Executable permission

What distro are you using

[dense locust]

manjaro

[lone mango]

Are you using kde

[dense locust]

is that the name after?

cinnamon?

[lone mango]

kde is a desktop environment

[lone mango]

Oh ok

[pliant berry]

just out of curiousity why manjaro?

[lone mango]

You might be able to make it executable in the gui file explorer

[dense locust]

friend

so dont blame me

[pliant berry]

ah

[dense locust]

dive seems fine

i guess

dunno why windows corrupted

i cant really main this 128gb drive with linux forever

[tall pine]

Supposed to use the negative CO to raise the V/F ceiling for higher frequency otherwise don't expect performance gain but rather efficiency.

[tall pine]

Undervolt drops temps and makes it more efficient it does not yield any meaningful performance gain unless you are also playing with Positive Frequency Offsets.

The only exception to what I said with only a Undervolt is if you were thermal throttling.

For example with a very rough offset in the negative 20 and 30 range on my 9950x3D with +200 Fmax I got about a 7% performance boost to my Multi-thread performance in CR23.

.
For further questions feel free to ping me in #overclocking if it has something to do with Undervolting or overclocking a CPU on AM5.

have any of yall watched happy gilmore 2

[unreal trail]

yeah

[rigid sinew]

i love adam sandler

[main loom]

can anyone send me a youtube video

of how to undervollt my r7 9800x3D

its pretty much like copy paste yeah ?

[unreal trail]

[rigid sinew]

i looked on youtube and typed in your exact question : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oD4ISZYjbA

[main loom]

so just copy paste ?

[rigid sinew]

no i typed the question in and i typed the URL

[main loom]

No i meant

I should do whatever he does ?

Same value and stuff?

[pliant berry]

ill prob see it when it comes out on digital

[rigid sinew]

oh i cant answer that

[pliant berry]

any kind of over/undervolting will not be exactly the same for everyone. what works for one might be unstable for another system

[proud jackal]

What about the mods

[main loom]

Trying diff value and stuff wont break my cpu ?

[pliant berry]

well you try different settings changing them at small increments while testing for stability with each

[lone mango]

Not all chips are exactly the same, it might not work

I just use ryzen master and let it optimize for me

[lone mango]

It wont break itll just freeze or crash or something

Undervolting wont break anything

Also what board do you have

[main loom]

Msi x870 carbon wifi

500$ high end type shit

[lone mango]

Ok good, asrock boards are still being weird

[wary fjord]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7o6kLBpfGe0

[main loom]

Is this fine guys ?

[wary fjord]

u tell us

play game

benchmark

if it crash

then its not

[rigid sinew]

Yes I love the mods too

[lone mango]

Are you setting a manual voltage? I thought you just wanted to do a pbo undervolt

[main loom]

Idk thats what the video said

Is there something wrong ?

[lone mango]

What memory speed are you running at

[main loom]

I have t force 6000mhz cl30

[lone mango]

Setting it to 2067 would be better for 6200 ram

Find pbo and do a negative offset

Just that alone is all you need for an undervolt

In my opinion though

You should let ryzen master find the best offset value for you

Its faster than setting the bios and then testing and doing it over and over again

[main loom]

@lone mango so what i did is not good ?

Its not crashing but i dont see lower temps

Sorry its my first time doing this and im doing it because where i live is so hot

And sometimes i see high cpu tems

[lone mango]

Not that, its just not what you wanted to do

You wanted just an undervolt, so use the curve optimizer and make it negative to save power

[proud jackal]

Evga

[main loom]

It is already negative

Was on 30 now i made it 40

[lone mango]

Oh ok

How is it still high at -30?

[lone mango]

What temperature range were you in

[lone mango]

Waste of money imo

I think az900 will get you further

[upper rain]

so far she's had only one issue, and it was resolving by changing a Proton setting in steam. games seem to run better on that build than they did with my windows boot which is a bit silly

[upper rain]

i considered mint, but just found Pop_OS a little more intuitive as someone with very little prior understanding of how to navigate linux-things™️

[craggy shoal]

Nah I have a Mac Mini. It's hard to explain but I decided against using that as a low-powered option just because of the resolution scaling (basically, the OS doesn't play nicely with 1440p 27" screens for some readon)

[craggy shoal]

I might give it a go then

Maybe even dual-boot. I have a spare 512GB drive. I don't need much more storage than that

(I actually should throw a terabyte into it and have two separate OS partitions but I’m kinda poor for an extra SSD lowkey lmao)

[upper rain]

that's what i had going on until i needed to cannibalize my main haha

rn my mom has my 512GB NVME linux boot, a 256 SATA, and a 1.5TB HDD, so she's chilling. the downside is that i now no longer have a 512GB NVME, 256GB SATA, or 1.5TB HDD for MY main 😅

[craggy shoal]

Does she need that much storage? What does she do?

[upper rain]

not really, but i didn't much use the HDD anyway, she mainly just needed a bit more storage for the games she wanted to get into over what just the NVME had available

i just wanted to make sure she had enough SSD storage that she could have everything she wants to play in the near term loaded on an SSD, and then since i don't really use the HDD for anything i tossed that in so that she could have other games installed too if she didn't mind slower loading

i very much mind slower loading, hence me not using it much 😅

yes, just turn on pbo and curve optimizer

start with -20 and keep running stress tests and increase the negative offset

It’s also why I don’t trust these companies with fingerprints, face data, and my ID

[nocturne flicker]

Bro really said no statement on PS3 compat. when it will never happen anyways

Also it will also have no games

[upper rain]

what's the story behind that anyway, haven't people been emulating PS3 games for a decade or something?

[nocturne flicker]

Emulating yes, running on hardware, no

Emulating is more resource intensive and has errors for PS3 games

[upper rain]

if the end result is the same then i don't understand why hardware plenty capable of emulating the games doesn't just emulate it vs trying to build up some BS backwards compatibility with a processor made out of black magic and the tears of software devs

[nocturne flicker]

Because what is the point of backwards compat. if you have to buy emulated versions of games you already own. If it runs on hardware you just pop a disc in and you are good, the emulations Sony has put out requires you rebuy the game

And you have to rely on Sony putting out the emulated version on console

[upper rain]

sure but that only applies to existing owners of the titles

[nocturne flicker]

So they'll be picking and choosing what gets an emulation

I.e. Sony first party title priority

[nocturne flicker]

And that is the major appeal of backwards compat. in its entirety? That people who got the previous console gens can still play their games on the new one

[upper rain]

i think the major appeal to sony is selling more games but what do i know

[nocturne flicker]

I mean, sure I bet Sony would love killing backwards compat. and making everyone rebuy all their older games in emulation form

But backwards compat. is an expected pro-consumer feature that ticks people off when it doesn't exist

It also serves as a buffer so everyone isn't as ticked at the fact that there aren't any games on launch

[dusk knot]

Maybe you shouldn't be throwing them around and chewing on them then

I know what kids did

Draw with crayon on dvds because boring looking

I knew a kid who'd lick discs before putting them in his music player

[paper verge]

as a kid my dvds wouldnt work

so i would wash them

no clue how it fixed anything, but man was it a thing

[idle nexus]

btw the 0402 100nF tiny thingies come tomorrow so I can permanently break my 13600K lol

[nocturne flicker]

Wash them and then dry them using a rough piece of cloth or paper towl because any old paper or cloth was good enough for your hands

3 years later wondering why the discs are scratched

[idle nexus]

lol one drop & it could crack or get scratched

heck spinning it around in the little cover for it could scratch it

[nocturne flicker]

I don't know what discs you had but I never had that issue

I frequently dropped discs and they ended up fine

[idle nexus]

well I dunno I feel like I borked a few but that was like more than 15 years ago at this point lol

[nocturne flicker]

I kept my discs stacked on my desk, no protection what so ever, data side up, frequently knocked them over, drag them against each other, shuffled them around. Only borked three over about 9 years of doing it

As a kiddie too, so I also wasn't knowledgeable about taking care of discs

[paper verge]

i used to bang on it with a toy i had aswell

sounds soo stupid rn lmfao

my 7 year old brain out there thinking im brilliant

[paper verge]

it was the WII discs

god i loved the wii

[nocturne flicker]

I borked my copy of Lord of the Rings Return of the King for PS2 after semi constantly playing that game for nearly 7 years

That thing was always at the top of the stack

[idle nexus]

I think I still have my like 1998 RE2 disc & 1999 RE3 somewhere

I have a box of PS2 crap

like two full size & one slim version

no clue if they work

last time I used the regular versions, it was to raise a PC off the floor lol

[nocturne flicker]

I didn't actually finish the game until like, 9 years ago when I bought a new copy and did an entire playthrough in one sitting

[idle nexus]

lol for the like first year & a half I had it, RE2 was like too scary to play

Damn that goes hard

[nocturne flicker]

It had a bug where if you went back to Osgiliath you just lose your main healer character

[idle nexus]

Amazon Vine. It's crazy expensive otherwise

[nocturne flicker]

Also if you didn't level your characters enough by Helm's Deep you'd be soft locked because the enemies would be too difficult

Also because the Battle for Helm's Deep section was basically a series of battles one after another with periodic pauses, so you either needed really good heals or a ton of health items

[idle nexus]

tbh I never got into Final Fantasy

[nocturne flicker]

I didn't either

But I did get into Lord of the Rings The Third Age

This is honestly bait from EA, it sounds too good to be true

Making everyone preorder this game is their tactic

[lone mango]

Lucky for them, I wont buy it anyway

[rancid juniper]

If that's the case for BF6 why not the other games?

Someone should ask that question

[velvet summit]

Except steam allows refunds for preorders

[lone mango]

Thank you gabe

[rancid juniper]

Oh, that's good

[velvet summit]

It's the same playtime and buying times
Except for pre-orders the time starts after the game releases

Oh

[lone mango]

Or trying to fix settings

I saw a guy spend over 2 hours trying to fix star wars jedi survivor

[velvet summit]

I think steam could still make the exception since the 2 hours is no questions asked
But if you have a valid reason, steam support sometimes still will refund you

[lone mango]

I had 2.1 hours on assetto corsa and got refunded

Make a wrap

I just throw leftovers in there

Very economical

What do you use for wraps

[hoary zodiac]

Anything

[tranquil pebble]

No it is not, and it never will be.

[hoary zodiac]

It's a wrap there's no one recipe

[sinful blade]

I’m talking like what do you put in yours

[hoary zodiac]

See

It's never the same

[sinful blade]

Like should I throw spaghetti in it

Or a banana

[hoary zodiac]

What

Have you never eaten a wrap before

[arctic lily]

I must mention this and I’m gonna get backlash from everyone for it so I apologize in advance

||why is there a space after Ti before the comma, and why is the x not capital in 9800x3D ||

[tranquil pebble]

probably at least a million different ways to make them lol

[hoary zodiac]

Meat, veggies, rice, beans

I mean technically you can put a banana in a wrap

[sinful blade]

I only get wraps from BK

[hoary zodiac]

Spaghetti would be decent

But too wet

[sinful blade]

I’ve had a spaghetti wrap before

You have to use leftover spaghetti

@hoary zodiac do you eat spaghetti

[hoary zodiac]

I put leftover bolognese sauce in my wraps sometimes

[tranquil pebble]

What I like in a wrap is mostly meat and cheese. Maybe tomato.

[hoary zodiac]

Not in a wrap

[sinful blade]

Duh

[hoary zodiac]

Noodle texture doesn't go well

[sinful blade]

But do you want a way to recook it

I have a way most people don’t think

[hoary zodiac]

I know how to cook pasta

[tranquil pebble]

I just thought of something that can not go in a wrap... soda.

[hoary zodiac]

I don't recook the pasta

I eat the pasta I make

The sauce is the only thing leftover

[hoary zodiac]

I usually just throw whatever leftovers I have

Yesterday I got some discount beef

[sinful blade]

After you make whatever you want to eat, mix the sauce with the rest of the spaghetti, keep the leftovers for at least 12 hours in a sealed container.

Grab a pan, butter, and shredded cheese.
Let the butter melt, fry the pasta for about 5 minutes on medium heat, then throw some cheese on it, mix, throw some more on; and then fry until the spaghetti is lightly fried(the cheese gets melted)

[hoary zodiac]

So I made scrambled eggs and used some leftover rice and threw it in a weap

[hoary zodiac]

I don't have leftover spaghetti

I have leftover sauce but never pasta

[sinful blade]

Create some

[hoary zodiac]

No

[sinful blade]

Deliberately cook the pasta to save it for later

[hoary zodiac]

I don't need a solution to a problem that doesn't exist

[sinful blade]

[hoary zodiac]

Rice is the only thing I keep

Never pasta

Actually now that I think about it

[worthy meteor]

So true

[hoary zodiac]

I've had leftover meat from soups in wrap

Just involves getting rid of the liquid

Which is a bit annoying but it's just spiced meat in the end

Morning wrap

Basically

Just make it with whatever you have lying around

Preferably don't put anything wet in it

That's the only rule

[upper rain]

does the butter prevent the pasta from drying out?

i may have to try that, bc i usually cook two or three meals out at once so that i don't have to make a full meal for myself when i'm sleepy after work. pasta is always a bit annoying bc it gets dry in the fridge

so i usually just make a big batch of sauce and then boil the pasta as needed, which is minimal effort, but could still be further optimized

[hoary zodiac]

That's what I do as well

It's the best method

[upper rain]

so far i am inclined to agree

[lone mango]

I might deal with the inconvenience just for the first weekend

[frosty sinew]

P sure mine has one

X870e pro

[tranquil pebble]

secure boot might even break my current bootloader config so no thanks

[hoary zodiac]

Take leftover pasta, fry it and then you'll have instant noodle

As everyone knows the best type of noodle

So high quality you can eat it dry

still rockin Oculus 1

I don't really use it but my son does

yesterday he accidentally punched me in the face with the hand things

playing that stupid Gorilla game

[tranquil pebble]

idk what getting punched feels like but it must not be very nice

[atomic current]

Still have never touched a vr headset

Gonna keep up the streak

[tranquil pebble]

the existance of this is the main reason I use VR

one of the best games ever, easily

[upper rain]

it's fun but the tech isn't fully there yet

[sinful blade]

Yes

It also means that the sauce stays on the noodle, allowing for new spices to be added if needed

[tranquil pebble]

it sure isnt, but there are some games for it that are amazing anyway

[sinful blade]

@upper rain it doesn’t work with very thin sauces though. Like, if it’s coming from a watery can based sauce, you’re OOL

[upper rain]

i make my sauce home made baybeee

[upper rain]

i agree, i enjoy it a lot, even if to my mind the current experiences aren't anywhere close to what's possible

beatsaber is a blast and that's a pretty ancient vr game at this point

[tranquil pebble]

and H3VR is awesome and honestly hilarious

[upper rain]

userbase is too small (in part because current headsets are rather uncomfortable and cause headaches and sickness) to justify tons of long form story based games which is a shame

[upper rain]

i'll have to check it out. i need to finish my HL:A playthrough first tho T_T

[sinful blade]

Vr headsets are also just WAYYY to expensive
Even second hand old ones

[upper rain]

probably restart it atp, it's been years

[upper rain]

quest two is like $100 on ebay

[tranquil pebble]

You can stun an enemy then finish them off by snapping their neck, or just literally ripping their head off. They are all hot dogs too.

[sinful blade]

If you get lucky
Most are like $200+ if you want with controllers and in good condition

[upper rain]

same res as Q3S, so equivalent PCVR experience

[upper rain]

$200 isn't very expensive imo, if there were lots of long form games it would be a pretty cheap means of entry i think

[sinful blade]

The wife wants vr, since she’s in a wheelchair, there’s not a lot of active games she can do

[sinful blade]

It is if you’re poor

[upper rain]

beatsaber is wheelchair friendly i would assume. i've played it sitting down at least

[sinful blade]

That’s why she wants VR

[tranquil pebble]

H3VR can be done sitting, and has sandbox modes... only recommend if she doesnt hate guns though

[sinful blade]

But cost of entry is what kills it for now

[upper rain]

gotcha gotcha
