Intel could probably have a AMD style comeback if they were 100% efficient with their resources
put the right people in the right positions
make a good product
and boom
Battlemage has been the only good GPU release in like... 4 years I swear
Battlemage? It rocks
just shows more hope for the gpu market than... whatever the hell nvidia and amd are pulling
Ok all dumb question im rocking a 5090 and 9950x3d, have had it plugged into the outlet this whole time but I want a surge protector. Can I get something like this to get me by or do I need one of those UPS systems, and what is the point of it? https://a.co/d/iE0BPJy
Its on a 1200W psu as well
Secure your home and your gadgets with Monster Power Surge Protectors. Plug up to 6 devices without worries with this flexible power strip surge protector that features 6 outlets and 15 feet of cord. Some variants of our heavy-duty power strip surge protectors have USB ports and can accommodate u...
More performance than their well established competitors for 30% less, or more
Hell if all I did was game, I'd have a B580
I'd say the drivers need some work
Intel recently have just been "I'll wait until next gen" for me
They show a lot of promise but they're not really there yet
For sure, but they have made more progress there than AMD has in a decade 😅
yeah but I wouldn't really be an early adopter
just like I wouldn't buy a 1700x in 2017
It's incredible the speed of which Intel has improved their drivers
well here's the thing
I have a feeling next gen they'll have gotten their crap together
and the performance of their cpu/gpus would be way better
Imo it's a better investment to wait a bit
I think celestial is gonna be mean, yeah. I think if they didn't can the b780, they would be a genuine competitor this gen
Better be
I'm hoping nova lake is good. I might upgrade
Nvidia and AMD needs to be dethroned
Having 50+ cores on the i9 is insane haha
I have a hunch that it will be
Arrow Lake shows a lot of promise
it's just a crap product
If it’s chiplets, can bet it’s doa for gaming
Sultan
honestly don't really care about gaming
I'd rather have a solid overall chip than an x3d
If it's 50% less
for 80% of the performance
can't complain
9950x3d is solid
It might be because of the chiplets but amd CPU’s still struggle with running 8khz
it might or it might not
Either way I wouldn't really buy intel's higher end chips for gaming anyways
It probably is cause even am5 can’t run it stable, meanwhile any modern ish intel cpu can
I'd rather have the single threaded performance of an i5
than a bunch of cores that do nothing for a purely gaming use case
It’s just not as well known cause most people don’t buy high end mice with that high polling
I mean 14600k does beat that in gaming
Single thread and multi core cause of the 14 cores
does it now?
Yea
In gaming it’s barely any faster than a 7700x, that’s why they called it zen 5%
i love beating 7700x
It’s still lower ipc than 12 gen iirc but they have high clock speeds
and yet, if given a choice would swap to a 7700x
Why
And we got arrow lake to the knee
Best of both worlds
given a choice means its free or super cheap 
I'm a bit skeptical tbh
Arrow Lake is a good proof of concept
it's just a really bad product
arrow lake is good for the right people

@royal crow is arrow lake good
Yeah
Don’t you know
5% is a generational upgrade now

Best part is igpu tbh
you heard it here folks, arrow lake is good
Intel xe is goated af
oo they gave you IRIS XE??
oh wow
Yee
bro why are people doggin gon arrow lake 💀 the igpu is good and useable
the 14600K is actually within the 7700X margin
i know. i own a 13600kf
It’s faster
i told you already
I'd say depends
And a lot faster in multi core
I guess 3d vcache is the only reason amd wins in gaming
multi core it'd blow 7700x out of the water
well that's completely irrelevant in the lower price bracket
People do say get amd for future chip support
honestly
Which is a good reason
I'm a bit skeptical on future chip support
Intel gotta drop that 2 gen per socket crap at some point
They keep making new sockets like every 2 years or so
Whenever I recommend AMD for upgradability I make sure that the 7800X3D would be a upgrade from whatever chip the user's coming from
and it often is for a purely gaming use case* (depends on game)
7800x3d is a upgrad over a 7700x 
Multigenerational improvement from just ram oc 
overclocking is free performance ngl
I've seen AMD do anti-consumer shenanigans
I have as little trust in AMD as I do intel or nvidia
the companys dont care about your trust btw
Amd is the most anti consumer with gpus
your first mistake, trusting a for profit company
They follow a lot of what nvidia does wrong
Here's the thing
Still find it wild how strong a 5800x3d is, an am4 cpu
Yet don’t have the market share to be able to do it
They tried to go back on the word on supporting zen 3 on b450
didn't work because... well
Asrock and MSI didn't care
arrow lake is shit huh? BOOM MARKETSHARE
Would if they could
Describes most companies tbh
That's why I don't trust AMD
aint intel still 70% of the worlds cpu 💀
Whenever they reach the top they start pulling some crap
Intel has an incentive to not screw over the consumer for now
Like how nvidia became the new intel?
So unless they're actually stupid they'd probably try to make an actual good product
the governemnt will make sure intel doesnt fail
8GB vram is the new quad core fr fr
It’s like a quad core if amd also decided quad cores are ok
That's like every company no?
AMD also made "quad cores"
every for profit does shit like this 
hes choosing to pick on intel for some reason
Once you reach the top why spend so much R&D money when people will still buy your stuff?
Build low, sell high
I hope someone beats nvidia
Not out of business but just enough for there to be competition
Big red flag
better than intel and Nvidia 
These corporations first and foremost are not your friend
Then they yell at you when you dont blindly follow what they have to say
Yep
I've also seen people just flat out deny that intel are decent options
which...
is just stupid
They exaggerate how bad intel cpus are
ill wait for AMD cpus to burn... and ill wait for their gpu to burn
Amd users when intel cpus don’t murder their family in front of them: 
don't AMD CPUs burn on Asrock boards? lol
yeah
but thats not a flaw with the cpu or design
Just 9000x3d
lol right right
intel burning is a intel skill issue
and nvidia burning is nvidia skill issue
Weird how it’s only 9000x3d
I hate my Asrock board tbh
I also really hate the "just spend more money" motif that's going on atm
Only am5, am4 asrock boards are good
first & last Asrock board fr
lol
"oh just spend another $100 for a ryzen"
id do it tbh
"just spend another $100 for a 9070"
id do that tbh
“Just spend another $1000 for a 5090”
i spent $200 more just for a 9070xt
i wanted the XT in it
Asrock Molten would be a good name for their new motherboard lineup
especially when spending that extra money... doesn't get you much in return
you're either getting the same performance/$
I think they still don’t know what’s causing the cpus to fail
or not that much improvements
bros talking to a bunch of peopel who have over spent on something
Tbf the entry level cards are pretty mid
do you like my $800 9070xt 
5070 ti pricing
The only reason I wouldn't recommend intel
I overspend on my pc
is this bs
why would i buy a 5070ti 
same
turns out i might have a dead dimm slot in one of my systems
Tbh I picked an AMD mobile chip because of their efficiency "claims" and performance paired with a decent igpu to boot. I would've picked Intel unless it's core ultra 200
Cuda
i dont use it sooo
Cause it’s better, and more features
looks normal to me
If they’re the same price everyone says the nvidia card
how much is the 9070XT relative to the 5070ti btw
YouTuber: amd is the goat
Also YouTuber: has nvidia gpu
out of curiosity
how are those feature i dont use better
THIS
Like 10% difference
9070xt is faster technicly
10% more or less
5070 ti 10% faster
my 9070xt was $50 less than a 5070ti 
is it 10% for the cheapest model compared to the cheapst
because you could have price overlaps
and considering stocks
idk, i still find "msrp" 9070xts all the time
Also YouTuber: "don't buy this!!!"
What they actually did after posting the video: buys
the price sgo all over to just say this
Idk sometimes they vary
realistically
or they got it sent for free
whats wrong with suggesting a amd card to your viewers but persoanlly prefering a nvidia one?
Lol YT privaleges
Yet they don’t use their sponsors 
im greatful the youtubers got a foot out their ass and reocmmend stuff based of facts not opinions
Heheheheh
Youtubers also shill harmful stuff like fum
FUM?
Fum?
It's that stupid vape substitute
oh a vape with out vapor
well hopefully if i get no errors now ill just be stuck with a weird number

Honey is probably the least bad things YouTubers have shilled for
im ngl, fum looks more safe than a real vape dawg
it looks like a device made to help you quit

it is
or a scam water bottle
"least"
I’m saying that in the there have been worse things kind of sense
Yea
yeah fume is the least bad thing youtubers shill
honey doesn't give you health issues
its not even bad when used right 
so yeah I'm inclined to agree
Vape is vape
Remember that straight up scam where you bought like a foot of land and got to be a “lord or lady”
It's bad
fume is clearly to help people quit vaping
yup
Core memory unlocked
You can rent Liechtenstein
What a wild time
Next you’ll tell me you’re not addicted

Addiction stage 1: Denial
lol is he defending vaping
Aight bro
Probably smokes
im defending fume because they even say its to help people quit
That's what they all say
Ah yes nobody has ever lied in marketing claims
way better than using a eletronic vape
The only reason I don't hate vapers as much as smokers is that at least they're not mobile cancer emitters
then chew nicotine gum
What
if u dont belive fum get some nicotine gum so you can stop being addicted to a ciggerete or vape
I got reminded of this meme
another way to quit
im saying for people ADDICTED to harmful vapor inhailers
they are useful to help them get off
Ok
“There’s no tobacco”
ignores the 200g of nicotine
mmm drugs
i think its because nicotine is trying to get you addicted while caffeine kinda just.. isnt trying to do that
With a highly regulated schedule
you can get addicted to anything
it can be beneficial
it isn't? lol how many people can't function until they have their morning coffee?
because they are addicted to it for the wrong reasons 💀
they have underlying problems with sleep that they are medicating with caffee 💀
People thinking that others can get out of addiction easily

exactly
how to become unaddicted to caffee, suffer and drink less and less
the vast majority of addicts can't just quit
Your own body literally battles you to get that fix
I have a coffee addiction but I still manage to forget some days
Hence the term withdrawal
thats how you suffer withdralls, NEVER just stop doing something your addicted to out of nowhere
ya doesn't your brain like create more receptors or something?
it may suck but you have to slow down intake over a period of time
At least caffeine is generally more beneficial than nicotine
We conclude that the combined administration of caffeine and nicotine shows additive effects on cardiovascular parameters during baseline conditions but less than additive effects during sympathoadrenal stimulation
Ah yes, I have no idea what this is saying

its main purpose isnt to get you addicted soooooo
people just happen to rely off it and brain now wants more
lol same
it really depends on your body
And consumption
I limit myself to one cup of coffee per day
irrc people with adhd can get addicted to nicotine and caffine easier because the dopamine rush they crave from it
I can get by with not consuming coffee by having adequate sleep
youre not drinking enough to be addicted
Caffeine is significantly less addictive than nicotine
whats next? they put nicotine in monsters
Presenting the death drink

Seems relevant
oh
im in a werid spot, i will drink a monster at every chance i get but i dont drink enough to get addicted
- They have an excessive amount of caffeine
- They have an excessive amount of sugar
- Coffee is cheaper
I mean as long as you can do it in moderation ig
I tried a red-bull recently
coffee taste like shit
This is when I realized
I don't think i've ever tried energy drinks besides a gatorade once every few months
I don’t like energy drinks
the excessive amount of caffeine is a problem in particular
yeah im not somebody to chug it every other day
everything is bad when u have too much '
drink too much water and see what happens
pumping excessive amounts of caffeine into one's body would have adverse effects over time
lol every processed food is scientifically designed to addict you
American food in a nutshell
and coffee once again taste like shit
that's a safe method of consumption
Why you think the obesity rate is so damn high?
and the side affects would relatively be not that adverse
and also won't have stupid amounts of sugar in it
because people dont know how to stop shoving food in their mouths
or medical problems
Food served in large portions that tastes addictive with insane calories
Massive amount of sugar
idk about you but ill just stop eating and move on

put the fork down
High fructose corn syrup
i live in america, when will i become fat
i jsut consumed an entire bag of sour patches.. twice
That's like in almost everything no?
usually after you have 1-2 kids I think
been fighting it myself lol
... you have two rip
Luckily I live in a country with rational ideas of nutrition
we have ratioanl ideas, nobody just follows it
still under 200lbs which is good enough for me cuz I'm 6'1"
I'm fortunate to have the choice to buy affordable food without a stupid amount of added crap
american portions are better 👅 more value for my money
Actually impressive
can u spare a inch
Like
It's actually stupid how little of a choice the average American has to eat healthy
hi american here, you arnt trying hard enough
I mean 34 waist fits so good enough
could someone help me perchance i am having an issue with my wifi on only my pc no other device
Hello @trail dragon! It appears that you're asking for help. Please ask again in the appropriate category so you can get faster help from people specializing in that field. Your question may not be answered here.
american for 18.9 years 
When most of the affordable food has unnecessary and unhealthy crap added to it
It makes it really hard to eat healthy
then dont eat it 
did you connect the silly motherboard antenna
eat a salad, some fresh chicken ❤️ yum yum
Gotta make em sick somehow so the medical/pharmacy can thrive
freshsly plicked
It's a cycle
yes? saying that bc pc is a prebuilt
I hate that thing so much... like how does my phone get a signal from a tower miles away two stories underground in a parking garage
but I need this doofy giant shark fin for wifi like 30 feet away?
Have you tried using ethernet
to diagnose if it's actually the wifi that's the issue here
to zero?
and not the isp
you might get better performance changing the power saving settings
idk its like ingames it makes me randomly spike to like 1k ping and makes it REALLY hard to play the games i like
Control Panel>Network and Sharing Center>Change adapter settings (it's on the left side) right click on your wi-fi>Properties>Networking tab>Configure
sounds like wifi, are u on 2.4ghz or 5ghzz
oo or even 6ghz
5ghz
are u in a house or appartment? are their alot of users in ur house
https://ui.com/download/app/wifiman-desktop id use this app to see if theirs anything obviously wrong with your wifi like a weak signal, or just wifi channels being full
house, there is a fair ammount i would say like 15 but atm in use i would say 10 ish devices
is this router provided by the isp or do you own it, also do u have issues on other devicfes
this makes suggestions with explanations for each setting https://www.digit.in/features/general/tweak-network-adapter-properties-networking-ethernet-wifi-vpn-45243.html
if other devices have problems and its the isps modem/router, id jsut call them and complain
only my pc and works fine for like youtube and videostreaming but not like dc calls on my pc or games
ahh, sounds like your pc is having issues then
download the app and show me this
lets rule out weak signal
would u prefer i click the 5ghz specifically bc that is mine
go on prefer 5ghz and click on the wifi
show me what it says
youre picking up neighbors 2.4ghz perhaps
nothing to be worried about in regards to that
i think that is it
are u confused i can show you
click on the wifi name thats yours if u already didnt
oh i see, click on this
click on what i told you to click on so i can see some more infomation
so ur upstairs
yes
also bc i thought it was a wifi card thing we got a dongle adapter thing idk the name of it but it plugs in the back of my pc
wifi looks fine with face value, i would if u could connect something into ethernet
i dont think i have a way through the floor
you got anothre device that could join a discord call
if ur phone joins the call just fine i would blame your pcs wifi card
i can yeah i can join on both for u to get the full experiance lol if u want
hmm never seen this command before:
bcdedit /set disabledynamictick yes
i can
yeah its your pc
down the rabbithole I go lol https://github.com/dubbyOW/BCDEditTweaks
uhh i have no idea why your ping would be inconsistant, you have good signal to the router at face value
idk either it was working good abt 2 weeks ago now but then it just stoped i guess
any specific ones?
WHAT ARE WE DOING THIS SATURDAY NIGHT
which ones specifically?
Attempting to fix my server
this bcdedit thing is kinda fancy
the wifi driver
it would be "uninstall device" right? if not i dont see an option
@idle nexus could u guide this young gentleman, i got something to do
is discord voice not working for anybody else?
you have double checked your mic settings?
does discord give you an error in the voice popup?
weird...
you are quite loud
mine just infinitely says conencting, and keeps playing teh join sound over and over
my mic is also not good but its quiet

does this work
no 😭
its not a re gioanl issue cause we should be on chciago servers rn
i was also yapping to my self 
IDK how to even change my DNS easily
ill show you in vc
let me check on my phoen real quick
so it works on my phone lol
U CANT LEAVE ME HANGING
90.140.14.14 for adguard iirc
you're wayyyy too damn loud and distorted lmao
its so god damn loud lmao
its increaising its gain cause its a controller 
I forgot they had a mid 
90.140.15.15 also for adguard
so weird that my PC won't work
oh
odd
i keep doing my introduction over and over
⛧
i got the star, me happy\
lol I can't really be specific here owing to server rules ig but has anyone seen the games GOG is giving away as like a protest to CollectiveShout/Visa/Mastercard debacle?
Boyfriend and I are on repo to VC now lmfao
lol they're acting like they are the damn law
can you share him for terraria
i already ditched normal for modded 
Ok, its our entire home network. Anything on our wifi can't connect to discord
💀
gonna restart my router
never had to restart it in like 3+ years
its restarted it self automaticly at night
mines does that
uhhh
whats the catch 🤔 i like this price
I usually just set automatic restarts for updates on certain days
ok, router restarted
probably some chinese spyware backdoor like TP Link lol

IT STILL DOESNT WORK WHAT THE HELL MAN
Did discord blacklist my IP or some crap?
i can come to your house and dianose your issue sytan
i charge $10 a hour or a big bag of candy
stay away from me, creature 🔫
catch is it;s a prebuilt router
*vermin
sytan im going to break in to steam a single ram stick
Ok, I feel like discord blacklisted my IP or some crap
can ethrenet devices work
isp problem
why would it be just discord VC's? lmao
how they do it, differnt servers
also you expect discord to be competent?
😠
why I oughta BSOD your PC
what the hell are the chances this person from 7 years ago named that router in an issue thread I am reading lmao
I have no idea how to do either of those
my router says it has a firmware update. I am gonna do that real quick
what if it bricks
rest in rip I guess
my uncle about an hour away just had his game crash as well with no noticable internet issues
UNCLE sytan
Uncle Sytan wants you to Buy War Bonds
Uncle Sytan wants you to buy RAM
Seems to work now, weirdly
Oh, I have one of these and the pro 7. I don't use them lol
starlink needs to come to thailand faster
IT STILL DOESN'T WORK
LEAVE MY BOYFRIENDS CAT OUT OF THIS HEATHEN!
ty
Why blow up tac
My boyfriends cat is a menace lol
Also it is almost 1 am and I haven't eaten din yet 
I am however almost done making lemon lime bars
chat, my discord WONT WORK COME ONNNN
Normal Discord moment
i want this more than networking
I think back in the day those used to be at least 200usd
closer to $300
oh was it that high?
yeah the cost of the enclosures themself was always a bit of a turn off
yeah
the hardware doent look expensive, its just niche
this one has usb on it, i just need a switcher to swap keeb and mouse and im chill
so niche it becomes expensive
i know tb4 docks do give more performance
more strict on bandwitdth
perfecft for me
i think i want egpu more than networking 💀
I messed up the lemon bars too 
@fresh timberI fixed it
ppog
After all the BIOS resets I did from the RAM issues, my clock was 7 hours and 43 minutes out of sync lmfao
IDK why my phone had issues for a phone too tho
oh well lol
maybe it was a coincidence

Dont need Oculus Link app for SteamVR. I use ALVR (free Virtual Desktop) which uses SteamVR as the VR launcher. Dont need the app open. Some of the Oculus VR services are running, but they are always running regardless of Oculus App, SteamVR, ALVR/VirtualDesktop/SteamLink, etc being open.
Valve put a Steam Link app on the Meta Quest store that allows you to stream SteamVR if you link it to a computer running Steam and it's completely free
POE ethernet to USB PD/FC/QC/etc with data is prolly some custom solution. Likely need to split out POE power and do regular ethernet to USB, then do a USB merging cable with power. Would need some DCDC step down converter for POE power to USB power.
It's probably better to just do smth like this img
https://www.amazon.com/ELECTOP-Ethernet-Adapter-Chromecast-Compatible/dp/B0CNQRQZRR?th=1 something like this
Ethernet Adapter for Chromecast with Google TV Get connected with Ethernet. Connect your Chromecast with Google TV directly to your router to create a fast and reliable connection for your Chromecast — perfect for hard-to-reach Wi-Fi spots. Easy set-up. Attach the included USB cable to your Chrom...
prob not this one if 100mbps is too little for you
Yeah smth like that also works. Tho would prolly be annoying trying to find one with 9v/2a power out. I prefer the solution I gave above as it can also work as a regular USB link as well (which you sometimes need to use different streamers [Virtual Desktop, ALVR, Steamlink, Oculus Link] for some games as compatibility is fun, or so I hear idk).
combine both, easy
The img I gave above already gets power in, so can just choose any random ethernet to USB adapter
Dont need some active power injector thing like that
at that point no use in POE, just run power and ethernet
id rather opt for seperate tbh, and zip tie the cables toghter or something
Dont need multi cable to HMD
soo. the vr headset
now that setup makes sense
now you can stream to your hearts content with out issue
But still, I would go wireless. Cheap 160MHz/2x2 wireless access point like 1m/2m away from VR place and then just like a 50Wh+ battery in pocket
depends on who you are
Your pc has a short I think you should fix that 
i cant stand wireless even when its good
wireless
look inside
wires
AHHHHHHH
I'll just sell it, it's someone elses short now
I haven’t used my quest in years
wire-less, wires less, less wires . like stainless, stains less, less stains ||/s, idk actually||
Engish hard
wireless
this is 6ghz
i love when 6ghz gets 5ghz speeds
i cant tell whats shittier, the ap or my laptop
You get 160MHz channel width regardless of 5GHz or 6GHz unless you're on WiFi 7. But yeah, you're prolly being killed by poor coverage signal (lowers QAM, basically how link speed is dynamic based on WAP connection quality)
haha, my router only lets 5ghz get 80mhz and 6ghz gets the 160mhz that i cant confirm on my laptop sense it reports it as 20mhz
but i know for a fact it supports 160mhz cause its wifi 7 💀
routr is 6e tho
I dont think WiFi 7 has a requirement for 160MHz
yeah, but my wifi card supports it 💀
im replacing it for a intel 6e later, i gota make sure its not a laptop issue
Well hopefully it's just dumb driver/firmware issue of AiC
i hope
i dont wanna repalce accesspoints 💀 they already making me buy a torx set to get into this mf
Except wired would be similar because it's the same bandwidth used
not ping wise
wireless can never beat wired ping
That's why most people have a dedicated ap
It would be miles better than not having one
And the ping is usually still under 10ms
Plus the additional latency from the pc, but that is there with both wired and wireless
idk if miles better is the world youre looking for, depends heavily on your setup, in regards to ping, 10ms seems a bit high for vr use
proper wired can be under 1ms 💀
Index gets about 4ms
whats the jitter
Probably within 2ms
Anyone here drive electric cars ? i would not mind getting one someday but as it stands they are still pretty trash.... if they ever get solid state batteries they might be worth it... as those can go like 500-600 miles and charge to full in like 10-15M.
I am also waiting for batteries to get better
I really wouldn't mind them as much if they didn’t destroy the power grid and if we could ever finish testing those solid state batteries
EVs are pointless atm
(I also still prefer the rawness of an ICE vehicle)
I like my GTI :)
ff
Destroy the power grid? What?
Time of use pricing can relatively easily be implemented to incentivize charging overnight
well yeah evs use a lot of power. im pretty sure there were reports saying that most of the us power grid couldn't handle if a significant portion switched to using EVs
Check myth 4
California has fairly high EV adoption and they use about 1% of total power. Obviously the mass majority don't have EVs yet but as long as the adoption isn't instant we'll be just fine
yeah but that kind of staggering can only go so far, to be clear im not saying it's going to collapse the power grid. but it ain't looking pretty considering the attempted switch to green energy and rise of ai along with it
exactly, more of a problem if it was an instant change
which it won't be, probably
It's just a problem of the duck curve switching to renewables and adopting evs at the same time
Production just doesn't line up with consumption times, that's why storage is such a big issue
Yeah
Absolutely
Can you put a stage 2 tune and a down pipe on a Tesla? Didn’t think so
frfr, can i just plug into the computer and change the ecu to do what ever i want? including killing the engine
I DIDNT THINK SO
Uhhhh... Guys? I need some help 😭
My PC's PSU just died I think
I don't even understand how the hell it just happened
🤔
I woke up because my breaker switched off, I went out there and trouble shot that, came back in, power was fine
Tried to turn my computer on, it didn't respond to anything for about 5 to 10 seconds, and then our breaker shut off again. I just smelled my power supply, it smells like a damn electrical fire
If only you have other pc to test with 
I have absolutely no idea what could have even caused this
chat I just very dangerously caught a Texas hornet
yellow jacket?
Nah I already caught plenty of those
Yellow jackets, and the large yellow wasps and the large red wasps
But the hornet, that’s the coolest and most vicious
Should it escape it remembers my face so it’ll come back for revenge
you're playing with fire ngl. Not being allergic now does not mean you won't develop an allergy after enough stings
I kill them when I catch them
And I’ve been stung before
When I accidentally whacked a red wasp nest with a machete
Great, my power supply killed itself and I have no idea what the hell to do about it. I seriously hope it didn't kill anything else
Rip
I don't even understand what the hell could have happened
most likely something shorted, or there was a defective component inside that gave up
or a power surge damaged it
Unplug pc, try again
Did power surge happen
That's extremely dangerous, don't recommend that
My power supply smells like a grade one electrical fire and you want me to try and turn it on again?
I said unplug pc not plug in pc
if your breaker isn’t tripping while pc not plugged in, found the problem
It IS tripping. My dead power supply is tripping the entire circuit
that PSU should be disposed off and/or marked as dead. Do not connect that to anything any more.
The circuit breaker will likely prevent fires but better safe than sorry with electrical
Most PSUs are 3 years at least, usually like 5
I just removed it. It smells like suffocating electrical fire. So fun
Me when my capacitors bust
My room barely smells of it, thankfully. But the PSU smells heavily of it
I'd let that air out next to a window or something
God, I hope it didn't take anything else out with it. If it did, I don't know what I will do
hopefully you can rma
I better be able to, otherwise Corsair is dead to me
last time I had a PSU short out it didnt take anything else with it
ymmv though
I genuinely can't even think of what could have happened
My PC was idle. Not doing anything
internal short in the PSU seems likely
especially based on the description of the smell
I have an Enermax that has been serving me well
I don't even want to RMA it. I don't want another one of these PSU's if it's gonna happen again
I would check the system itself for any shorts too. A short on the mobo can do that to PSUs.
You can now use XeSS FG and its low latency feature (like reflex) on AMD GPUS and older nvidia cards
lets gooooooooooooo
I'll look around, yeah
Yeah, Intel is dope
I've been praying for times like this
XeSS just looks alot better than FSR 3
until then this is the best upscaling option for RDNA 3
I have another power supply to check if it killed anything in my computer, but I am dreading trying it....
My PC is stuck on the boot screen
Oh thank God.... It booted
How the hell do I even start a Corsair RMA?
Citizens
before you do, give it a good look over in the PC for any signs of burning/shorts
I already turned my computer on with the other power supply, and it's working fine. It had to have been just a PSU thing
It's so weird, it happened literally in the middle of the night, with basically nothing running on my computer
oh good, then yes I would say that PSU had an internal short for sure
It's like I had a ticking time bomb, and it just finally decided that it wanted to go off. At least my power supply has a 5-year warranty
like no doubt about it atp
do any of you have any prebuilt recommendations <1000 dollars because my friends wants me to find him a pc and I don't have the knowledge to find one
Yeah, the damn thing smells horrible. My only concern is, I don't want to replace it with the same one. Do you guys know if it's possible to RMA with a different product? Like do they allow you to pay the difference?
Because I do not want another one of this unit
god damn
which one?
Corsair MWE Gold 850 V2
idk but what unit is it so others can maybe avoid it lol
When I checked it on power supply tier list, it was rated A
I've had it for just over two years
I mean, I don't know how much trust I have at this point. I specifically went for this unit, because it was one of the best I could get for the money. And look what that got me lol
💀
BRUHHHH
Cooler Master
im thinking.. when did corair make MWE products
Cooler master, not Corsair
My backup power supply is also a cooler master. I got a 650 w for my previous PC, loved it so much, that I ended up getting an 850 w
they were the best for full tower cases in the 2010s but they fell off pretty hard IMO
Chicgen jocky
I think 3 now
three now??
Three GPUs on an 850W sounds like trouble ngl
that psu would have had some problem with three 💀
chinese 500w unit with no protections 🚬
i ran a 9070xt and 7700xt on a 650w psu 💀
bruh... I always go overkill on wattage and tier and have yet to have one of my own PSUs die
Which GPUs specifically?
my pc already idles at 200w.. that says enough
i have an EVGA 650w unit in my secondary that survived a couple months straight of 800+ watt workloads 
saytans? or me?
cause i said which ones i ran
sytan
3090, 3060 ti, and that workstation arc card
i dont htink that came out yet
thats close, but still doable... i dont think the 7700xt is a 300W card, nor is the 9070xt AFAIK
Oh
9070xt is a 303w card, 7700xt is like 250 unless overclocked to 300
only reason the psu didnt die cause i was using a poopoo cpu with that setup 💀
9070xt alone has a suggested PSU of 700W... yikes
yup
i only rna it with a 5500
if i ran that with my 13600kf it would straight up turn off
I have a 1250W Titanium rated PSU
.. hell i had my 850w psu shut off... i fixed it tho
ALL my cable extentions decided to stop working so i need to buy new ones besides gpu ones
only thing keeping cpu p owre from suffering i the 4pin i added 💀
i didnt learn my lesson, im buying strimmers 💀
1500w titanium here uwu
titanium is nice because it keeps the load on my circuit a bit lower
i blow my fuse all th time 🙂
i dont even care about the power savings as much
120v sucks
idk, I manage to run a decent spec PC and a massive AC on the same circuit... both under full load with no issues
i didnt think it sucked until i realized how easy it is to trip
yeah, i have three
mwe? that returns coolermaster for me 🧐
12,000 BTU AC unit is what I have
sstried vaccuming once.... yeahhh bad idea
tripped everything in the basment and everyone started complaining baout no intenret
i wonder if he would buy a ups
would be a good idea ngl
if my power goes out, I go somewhere else with my laptop and FIND power until it is restored lol
if its going ot be out f or longer than a hour im going to my moms house
fortunately that happens less than once a year
atp you have bigger issues than powering your PC ngl
yup
Yeaahhhh, I am dumb
It's cooler master
Also, just picked it up, and an exploded component just fell out....
i persoanlly just need my laptop charged and im chilling
ill go to my friends or something if it dies
dont feel bad, ive done worse... was building a PC for someone and shorted the mobo by installing the cooler wrong... taking out both the PSU and mobo...
about 5 years ago or so
i just know if i was you id be c rying rn
I have no idea what the hell happened to my power supply
To have a microcontroller fall out in fragments... Jesus lmao
internal short... beyond that, who knows
Yo thats crazy
ima diy a 120mm fan into it 💀
I am calling regarding your power supplies extended warranty
Sorry lil guy 
Gigabyte users need this
I feel like I have a pretty damn good case for an RMA lmao
Lil guy ploded
chat, should i figure out how to spice wires to get pwm or voltage from the psu it self, or just slap it on a controller and run it until its too loud 💀
regarding fan replacment
you do, as it is abundantly evident that it shorted internally
If you using modified hardware in that system you might just want to leave that part out
riskkkkk
just dont touch it
ehh i probably dont need a fan, that psu is for my nas
You can drain the caps with an incandescent light but idk where i have one
ill just put my 500w smart in the flip pc 💀
Unfortunately wont work in my case
cloud guess what im 90% sure of doing
Reminds me, I always hated that some servers put internal usb port right next to the power supplies which often are pretty exposed
risky thing to do... if you mess up you WILL cause a short and possibly get hurt
Heart attack
What
ima buy a cheap ebay egpu dock and a psu
get my self a lil modular 650w or something
This shit McSploded
Some of those docks have internal psus, im sure you already looked into that though
this is what 120V going through a part that needs like 5 V will do
yeah i have , i know which do and which dont
Lmao
The really really weird thing is, I had a dream where I was popping balloons. And one of the balloons popped way louder than the rest, and that made me sit up in bed, at which point all of my electronics were spinning down. So I wonder if I actually heard the pop of the power supply, and that's what woke me up
i have seen a few docks with psus inside them that peak my interest
strong possibility
I'm just so intrigued. I wish I knew what the hell happened. This power supply was plugged into a surge protector
that wont stop a short that happens within the PSU from making it pop
This power supply is barely even two years old 
I'm doing an RMA claim right now. I just need to find the serial number
Do you guys know which number on this thing is the cereal?
I'm used to them having the number with like S: before
defects can happen, you should be happy its only the PSU
Yeah, I honestly am. I don't know what the hell I would have done if I had lost everything. I think that would have sent me on a massive depression spiral
Any of these look like the serial number?
I guess I'll try the long one
this is probably it
💀
these are tiny
atleast let me mount my crap 💀
i swore i found one for $80 yesteday with a psu and now i cant find it
1070 tax
Yeah it is, they had a little thing attached to the bottom that shows where it is
sytan... how fuinny would it be for running ai on egpus
All right, my RMA claim has been sent
Extremely viable honestly
Or well, not with a GTX 1070 lol
im going to use a 7700xt
atleast until i can afford beter
i wanna get something nvidia soon ish
aaim thinking about saving for a 3060 or something, its a egpu so i dont need.. exatly ometing good
I did not know you could sign your own linux kernel
I thought the keys were only valid from a trusted certificate authority
Damn thats crazy
I remember making my own keys in a lab

I don't know how to make keys, I'd usually go to a locksmith for one

DONT STOP
Tried Warhammer Space Marines 2 and it appears that solo play is basically impossible. You really need other players or you are guaranteed to hit a wall and fail.
Skill
Maybe you shouldn't be attacking the walls
try harder
💀
No, this part can not be done. There is not enough ammo, and the NPCs are useless.
Just one additional player will let me clear though
melee
its defending like 4 antennas, and the damage output of 1 player is not enough to clear them all
ur wasting ammo
plus melee doesnt work on these enemies
get better aim and gun contrl
I cant tell if something is even still alive or not so I keep shooting it to be sure.
because they clip into the level itself
nah, this is straight up needing co op... lol
