Offer it in sacrifice so that the gaming gods do not strike you down where you stand

[tranquil pebble]

Why do headshots kill me?

[dusk knot]

I felt that lmao. Some matches when I play Marvel's Rivals and my brain is barely working. That's how I feel

[royal crow]

Brain go boom

Or splat

[sand hill]

I never thought asking this but does anyone know about this also is this the best?

(I should clarify that I want something that’s less 200 or more but 100 and just want one of those usb slots as well)

[worthy meteor]

what's the context?

[sand hill]

The answer might be simple but wondering if this motherboards the best along with adding like controllers, keyboard, mouse, microphone etc

[worthy meteor]

I'm still confused on what you're asking, what are you asking about the board, are you asking if it's the best in terms of number of usb slots..?

[sand hill]

Well yeah that’s the one sorry I barely know about pc parts

[royal crow]

It certainly has a good number

Really, any will work, you could just get a usbc hub

[tranquil pebble]

3 matches in a row, and one I had a KDR of 0.00

the weapon recoil jerks it all over the screen

[worthy meteor]

If you're just after USB slots, this gets you 2 more USB type A ports and an extra type C port
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DG9WTMKK

[tranquil pebble]

so i cant hit anything

[worthy meteor]

But this doesn't include a wifi chip

[royal crow]

Technically if you don't die you have an indeterminate kd

[slate fractal]

67

[royal crow]

Because you can't divide by 0

[sand hill]

okay so i'm guessing it's a yes for that cause i just want to make sure to get the right one for a new pc i'll get

[sand hill]

and this is the best one too?

[worthy meteor]

best in what way? It's the most USB slots that you can get on an am5 board under $200 right now

[sand hill]

oh nevermind there but yeah that was about the usb for this and like i said good for adding for controllers and others

[arctic lily]

Lol

[tranquil pebble]

Going to. Thing is full of tryhards

kept getting spawn killed too

[dusk knot]

👍

its just a game at the end of the day

[fair onyx]

Wish me luck people. Just responded to my Cooler master RMA. Really hoping they'll offer a refund instead of a new unit

I guess if they give me a new unit, I can resell it

[lone mango]

If my cpu dies I am doing that with my asrock board

[royal crow]

Got an idea

Gonna use those to make rgb for my gpu

Maybe

Kinda like this

guys imma make CUDA in minecraft

its just like one alu, A*B+C

and since I will never need more than an 8 bit operation i can make it 8bit and call it mCUDA

(normally, CUDA does 32-bit floats but im lazy so im doing 8-bit integer)

[hoary zodiac]

Make cuda on a breadboard

[upper rain]

cuda cheese.... mmmmm

[royal crow]

what yall think, 4 compute units, 4 line drawers, and one rasterizer?

CPU can be in charge of char rendering

and most mathematical calculations, and the gpu will do the screen

[dusk knot]

Idk

[proud jackal]

[lone mango]

Guys I found out my progem

problem

My memory oc was not 100% stable

I went from 1.35 to 1.4 and I am good now

No crash yet

[tranquil pebble]

I'm having trouble with BF1 campaign. For some reason getting shot kills me even on easy.

When are devs going to add god mode to their game campaigns?

[cedar compass]

amd and its drivers...

I guess they never will fix it

since I bought 9070xt for my wifey , she gained anger issues cause games crashing all the time

this gpu is so stupid

[upper rain]

interesting, i haven't had any issues with my 9070 at all... conversely i had plenty if minor ones on my Nvidias, which (in small part) led me to switch

now i've come full circle and am arcmaxxing. nvidia's drivers look utterly polished by comparison, even though i remember being kinda pissed off with them in the moment lol

[tranquil pebble]

had a driver crash so hard I had to hard reset my PSU even

[dusk knot]

https://youtu.be/1H3xQaf7BFI?si=KETUn48jQsqChhX8

interesting topic, but 3 and a half hours

[upper rain]

my b580 randomly bootloops infinitely if i crash the driver too many times. it can always be worse

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1384538401440665620/1385260216249221190/brandbird_4.gif

[tranquil pebble]

Im not having any hardware fails so yes definitely could be worse

[arctic lily]

mine has never done anything weird

even with high oc

[cedar compass]

this gpu is so weird . every game works well with specific driver lmao

[upper rain]

yours is blessed by Pat Gelsinger himself

i need to bench nomad tomorrow

[cedar compass]

with latest drivers , cyberpunk and BF1 crashing . but delta force , apex , starfield works fine . when you get specific driver ( from reddit suggestions ) they work but other games crashing lmao

[arctic lily]

apparently

[upper rain]

i think i capped out my max possible timespy score

[cedar compass]

I go to reddit and I see this error exist since rx580 lmao . does AMD even have software team ? can't they fix single issue in 10years ?

anyways I'm gonna get rid of that trash and give her rtx 3080 back

[upper rain]

i mean... it's just a default error message. the equivalent of calling windows broken bc it's had the same BSOD for years lol

[cedar compass]

I been trying to fix things for last 10 days and nothing really helps . reddit is also full of this issue posts and no one can fix it actually

[upper rain]

hope the 3080 works better for you homie

[cedar compass]

at least it does't crash all day long lol

I wish I could fix this stupid issue but anyways . every driver works fine for some games but others crashing

[upper rain]

which games are crashing? i can swap my 9070 in tomorrow and sanity check if it's anything i own/plan to own

[worn wave]

^

[rancid juniper]

bruh

[worn wave]

Known issue after reviving iirc

[cedar compass]

with current drivers , Cyberpunk and BF1 crashing randomly. other games like Delta force , Apex legends , Starfield , Stalker 2 works fine. I changed driver to old one ( from reddit suggestions ) and Cyberpunk works fine with that one but Delta Force having very low fps . older drivers not works for BF1 and there's only one specific driver I found it works

[worn wave]

Older driver not working for bf1 seems weird since it's a 2016 release

[cedar compass]

yeah EA sux . it asks for latest drivers

[worn wave]

Delta force I can see being weird on an older driver since it's a newer release

[cedar compass]

yeah it was known issue fixed after months .

[rancid juniper]

tank pushed me under

lol

[cedar compass]

the thing is , for being able to play games you have to switch drivers back and forth

[rancid juniper]

577.00 is the most stable driver

for me so far

[cedar compass]

eh I trying to fix my wifey's 9070xt

[lone mango]

Cant believe it was that the whole time

[rancid juniper]

ah icic

[lone mango]

That means I was not running a stable overclock for the past 5 months

[upper rain]

bf1 i own, will check tomorrow 🫡

[cedar compass]

yeah it sux

[upper rain]

rip files

[rancid juniper]

have u tried 25.6.3?

[cedar compass]

yeah I played bf1 for last 2 hours and game crashed 4 times

[cedar compass]

every game works fine with one driver lol

[rancid juniper]

real

[cedar compass]

I reinstalled windows as well maybe my rams sux ? I mean it was working fine with 3080

idk really

[rancid juniper]

man i haven't played games on my 7800xt for awhile

my fixed monitor is coming tomorrow FINALLY

[cedar compass]

the thing impressed me is 9070xt's thermals

it staying at 54C at games too lol

[rancid juniper]

RDNA 3 & RDNA 4 cards typically have overbuilt coolers

i mean the arch does contribute

[cedar compass]

I actually liked card and its performance especially because I bought it for msrp ( 600$ ) but I can't fix crashes and it sux

[cedar compass]

my 3080 causing global warming lol

78C core and 102C vrams

[rancid juniper]

lore accurate 30 series

[cedar compass]

it needs new pads actually but I want to retire it and replace it with 9070xt but things didn't go well lol

I'll probably grab 5070 or ti instead so I can play BF6 with my wifey

[icy ore]

I hate wired headphones so much

They get caught on everything

[pliant berry]

that is why you keep headphone amp on desk. no catching on anything

[worthy meteor]

gets caught on my chair sometimes lol

[lone mango]

It was stable but not for battlefield

Even minecraft was fine

I was hosting the server and playing on it at the same time and had no problems

But when I played battlefield 6 then it would keep crashing

[hoary zodiac]

sudo mv /etc/fstab /tmp/g && reboot

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/etc/fstab

Very cool linux commands

You’re lifting entire city blocks using your telekinetic powers …..what a crazy mod

[lone mango]

Here is how it started

[leaden pewter]

sounds like an Undervolt and repad is on the way

[lone mango]

My 2.7 slot 9060 xt being inaudible with a tuned curve

@hoary zodiac wow aur ddos still going on

[lone mango]

I was playing the mode that puts mixed ai with players

This is too easy

the ai just accepts defeat when they see the apc

Then gpu crash because testing windows oc

Pretty crazy I am crashing at -90 because I am stable on linux at -100

and 2800 mem

[sinful blade]

Gross.

[lone mango]

[sinful blade]

What are you DOING

[lone mango]

Battlefield 6

pbo helped out a lot

was at 160 fps in cairo

[dense locust]

i run 90 at 4k

[hoary zodiac]

Did someone ddos the aur

[lone mango]

Yes

[hoary zodiac]

lmaooo

I've been messing around in debian so

Haven't noticed

[lone mango]

Based on how this guy was talking it seemed like it went back up and then went down again

It started a week ago

[hoary zodiac]

Eh

Not a dealbreaker

It's arch

[lone mango]

I am surprised they have not found a cloudflare alternative

[hoary zodiac]

You're getting pretty new packages anyways

[dense locust]

yeah who uses arch linux

[hoary zodiac]

Even if it's a couple weeks old

[lone mango]

I dont download much anyway so whatever

But still this is crazy

[hoary zodiac]

I mean

You can ddos any repo

[lone mango]

Never seen it happen before

Lil man saw it for the first time

[hoary zodiac]

It's not really that annoying tbh

If it was core being ddos'd then that'd be a serious problem

[lone mango]

Right

Adrenalin is kinda lame ngl

I am amazed how I get better oc on linux

[hoary zodiac]

It's radeon

[lone mango]

And I used to think it was good

Well at least its faster than adrenalin on w10

[hoary zodiac]

The only you can get good software on Radeons is have it not be made by amd

[lone mango]

I have -90 at 200w and it still crashes

[novel ferry]

shintel

[dense locust]

arent the core cpus made with TSMC fabs

[novel ferry]

yup, but it is a Intel product

[elfin mural]

the core ultra 200 series

yes

it's all on tsmc node

[dense locust]

why is it overheating

[novel ferry]

on that specific cores only, other stay under 80C

[lone mango]

That’s weird

Maybe mounting issue

[velvet summit]

I'm on the wrong side of heaven

And the righteous side- the righteous side of hell

[elfin mural]

im not surprised that nvidia is well aware of gpu smuggling

but the company of course never took action and just let it run free

[lone mango]

Yeah the chinese guys in the last gn doc said their version of them having a blind eye

[elfin mural]

there's a new one

3 hours long

[lone mango]

They aren't encouraging it but they aren't stopping it

[elfin mural]

im sitting and watching it

gpus out of all things

Idk how i am still playing

Lol new match

Im not complaining

[hoary idol]

My old psu is coolermaster masterwatt lite 500w and i've seen bad things about it on internet. Is selling it a bad idea? I don't want to sell a time bomb to someone else
not modular one*

[hoary zodiac]

Yes

It is a bomb

At most I'd sell it in a system that uses barely any power

That is me being EXTREMELY generous to this psu

[hoary idol]

good thing it didn't fry my old components

[hoary zodiac]

At least with oem pcs they don't generally bundle explosives

💀

(that's one of the reasons why used optiplexes make such great servers)

[hoary idol]

i bought my pc used and it was working fine so i didn't even checked the psu until yesterday when i need to upgrade lmao

and there were electrical shortages sometimes

😮

[hoary idol]

lol

[hoary zodiac]

The hell????

What is meant by "shortage"

[hoary idol]

in the area that i live

[hoary zodiac]

Like an actual shortage

Or a short circuit

[hoary idol]

no no they were just cutting the electricity without warning

[hoary zodiac]

Yikes that can't be good for the psu

[hoary idol]

yeah

thank you for claryfying

i am not gonna sell it then

i can live without an extra 10 15 euro

[hoary zodiac]

Well you can

It might be fine

When used with low power systems

[hoary idol]

i'd feel horrible if it fried some poor guy's system or worse explodes catches fire...

even cheap ones

[hoary zodiac]

Oh wait

It's on F tier

It's not even one of those "use with minimal load" units

It's literally a time bomb

💀💀💀💀

[hoary idol]

lmaoo

for real?

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah it's e-waste

[hoary idol]

bruhhh i've used it 2.5 years

and the guy i bought it was using even longer i guess

[hoary zodiac]

Tier E and F are pretty much

They're poorly designed

Have barely or no safety features

And have a pretty decent chance of literally just blowing up

[hoary idol]

damn

I gotta give my protecting angel a big sloppy head

Have you tried putting the sim tray in rice

yeah but I'm too lazy for it

[brittle lynx]

i should probably switch to esim for security purposes

Rtx 5080 Zotac solid core or Asus prime which is better for the same price ?

they know what the students need

fr

gaming ethernet

the wifi is decent

but the latency kills me

[heavy dew]

Blame walmart

Anyways is the SSD good to cop or what

With an associated discount I can spend a grand total of 115

[heavy dew]

Actually it’s gigaBIT

not BYTE

[frosty sinew]

true but we all klnow hwat it means

[arctic lily]

but 1000 megabytes is one gigabyte

[frosty sinew]

is mega bit

[heavy dew]

Internet is measured in bits not bites

[frosty sinew]

1/8 of a megabyte

[heavy dew]

I should know this, I went to college

[arctic lily]

plz explain why in this terminology its bit not byte

[arctic lily]

oh

[heavy dew]

Because it’s called bits

[frosty sinew]

so gb is gigabit gB is gigabyte

[arctic lily]

dang so not a gigabyte

[heavy dew]

Anyways no one answered my question

[frosty sinew]

gigabyte is like 8gigabit

[arctic lily]

one 8th of a gigabyte 💀

[frosty sinew]

which one

[frosty sinew]

more than plenty

its hard to saturate gig unless ur downloading games tbh

[heavy dew]

Is this a cop or flop

I can get this hoe for $115 total

[frosty sinew]

what is a cop

like buy it?

[heavy dew]

Yes man learn the slang

Cop or drop

[frosty sinew]

thats pretty good

[heavy dew]

Someone said get the crucial P3 plus, which is DOUBLE THE PRICE FOR THE SAME SIZE

[heavy dew]

at that rate I’d opt for the 4TB that’s 225 but I don’t need it

[frosty sinew]

speed and stuff is also impoortant

but a game drive

[heavy dew]

This WD is 5000 speed something

[frosty sinew]

sure thats morethan fine

[heavy dew]

Up to 5150 read

[frosty sinew]

thats not random tho

thats sequential

[heavy dew]

Idk the write speed

[frosty sinew]

basically a meaningless number

randoms are the ones that matter for like your os and stuff

[heavy dew]

Idk man but it says up to 5k read

It doesn’t say random

[frosty sinew]

cuz those arent big numbers

but yeah that drive is fine

im running the 1tb one rn for games and its fine

[heavy dew]

I need more opinions

Because I’m ready to get it

I can pull the trigger faster than trump dodging the assassin

[dusk knot]

[heavy dew]

But am I wrong tho

Answer is no, no I am not

[dusk knot]

How much money are you willing to spend?

[heavy dew]

About 3 grand

So it’s within my budget

Considering this is for my existing incognito mode 3.0 build looool

[dusk knot]

@heavy dew https://a.co/d/1oT2iOs

Wait....no drm

It's HBM

A decent buy imo

[heavy dew]

Bro I just realize my cooler isn’t meant for my Ryzen

My CPUs TDP is 105w and my cooler is rated up to 100w

But my computer works fine

AM I COOKED

[dusk knot]

No

[heavy dew]

Are you sure

[dusk knot]

But I would replace it

[heavy dew]

Man I’m bout to off myself

I never even noticed it

[dusk knot]

How long since you bought the cooler?

[heavy dew]

That’s a good question

Probably a year or two

The only reason I got the cooler I got is because I needed a low profile cooler

[dusk knot]

Hmmm...maybe you're fine

[heavy dew]

Man I can’t work with maybe

Also someone suggested to get this instead

https://a.co/d/fxkPzeF

[dusk knot]

It works

But since it says 7,250, I wonder if that's the rated speed for the 1tb or 2tb

The latter tends to be slower

I would still buy it. You're not going to do anything that DEMANDS the fastest

[fair onyx]

Nooooo, Cooler master will only do a replacement part RMA. They won't give me a refund 😭

[elfin mural]

sadness

[fair onyx]

So now I'm gonna have a new replacement PSU that I have literally no use for 😭

Maybe if it's new in box I can resell it? IDK

[proud jackal]

[fair onyx]

This is what I get for my power supply exploding I guess lol

Oh boo, I have to pay to ship it to them too

[upper rain]

then it is no issue?

[heavy dew]

Hmmmm yeah I mean I want an SSD that’s like future proof because I wanna game on my computer EVENTUALLY

[heavy dew]

Well the thing is the cooler isn’t meant for my CPUs TDP yet I have literally had no unexpected issues

Then again I never check CPU Z

let me do that

[upper rain]

TDP isn't a good indicator of thermal load

[velvet summit]

There's no such thing as future proof for SSDs either because they're gonna die eventually

[heavy dew]

Well I mean I want my SSD to last as long as my current 2.5” one has

[velvet summit]

Also games don't need more than a gen 3

[heavy dew]

Which I’ve had since 2019

[velvet summit]

Any SSD should last that long unless you're constantly writing to it tbh

[upper rain]

most decent drives will live for years and/or like 500x total capacity read/write cycles no issue

[heavy dew]

I did but it brand new but yeah it’s lasted 6 years, and so has my SSD from micro center that was for my old laptop

Rip hp pro book, I should’ve kept it

[heavy dew]

Hmmmmmm

I mean my main system is a 2.5” WD blue

And it’s going fine but I want an NVMe right about now

But now I have to get A NEW COOLER

[upper rain]

your cooler is fine you already said so yourself

you're gaslighting yourself into unecessary expenses

[rancid juniper]

finally back on my main desktop pc

missed 1440p so much

lol

[dusk knot]

Niiice

Where were you before?

[rancid juniper]

no monitor

[velvet summit]

didn't notice during use = don't need to change it

[rancid juniper]

only using gaming laptop

[proud jackal]

[dense locust]

0p to 1440p is a huge upgrade

[arctic lily]

fr

[tranquil pebble]

At worst you simply wont get full performance from the CPU as it will throttle. No damage will occur.

Good idea to replace but not an emergency by any means

[tranquil pebble]

eh, it is possible they never noticed because they never knew/experienced the CPU when properly cooled.

but at 100 vs 105 TDP ratings, I think its unlikely the throttling would be very bad

[velvet summit]

at the same time, a tdp rating of 105w and a cooler rated for 100w is pretty likely a non issue

yeah

plus they are unlikely to be using the cpu at 100%

[tranquil pebble]

I think it might not turbo as hard as a higher TDP cooler though but yeah definitely not a big deal

[rancid juniper]

facts

[proud jackal]

[rancid juniper]

🐸

[heavy dew]

Type shit

[heavy dew]

Even though I’ve been using it like this for 2 years

Man I still feel stupid not paying attention to PC part picker

Literally tells me wattage issues and I never batted an eye

[tranquil pebble]

meanwhile I researched all the parts individually lol

[heavy dew]

Meanwhile im trying to figure out what kinda cooler to get

Cus I need to get a cooler THATS most likely 5 inches tall or less

So I guess 120mm or smaller

[lone mango]

What case you got

[heavy dew]

Funny enough it’s this one Newegg used to sell https://www.newegg.com/enlight-atx-mid-tower-steel-computer-case-beige-72500sz/p/N82E16811116009?srsltid=AfmBOor-nsVq6vGRukEXCurb0yxGdRdSPqYkxOX5axCq1aVU-l3ABcJD

It would be nice if this case had things like cable management and proper airflow but the case is from 2006 after all

Why is crunchyroll on my youtube recommended page

Get outta here

[hoary zodiac]

that's more like it

[cedar compass]

I remember I had 1GB SD card on my phone and it was biggest available

Now even stupidest apps taking 1gb space

[hoary zodiac]

You can run Debian on 1GB

actually hmm

I kinda wanna get a crappy SBC to experiment with it now

i3wm on debian, most lightweight apps possible

[misty sparrow]

i wonder if you could tell a noticeable improvement from 1080p to 1440p on an IPS display

i got a cheap 1440p display that's IPS

[tranquil pebble]

PA 120SE if it will fit, great cooler for Ryzens

and its reasonably priced too

[tranquil pebble]

1 GB clock app

[hoary zodiac]

depends on the size

if it's 24" or above

generally it's noticable

[cedar compass]

https://tenor.com/view/annoyed-disappointed-mad-upset-gif-26051039

Hardest part of reading discord chats is resist urge to say " that's what she said" to almost everything

[misty sparrow]

both displays are 27", new and old

[hoary zodiac]

definitely

1080p is lacking on 27"

you can definitely see an improvement

27" is where 1440p borders with 4K

I'm fairly certain the pixels on 27" (on 1080p) are so large you can actually start to seem the if you lean in

[upper rain]

yeah?

[hoary zodiac]

without even squinting

The only time you might not be able to tell is if it's under 20 inches

Laptop manufacturers putting screens above 1080P on 13-15 inch laptops should be executed

[misty sparrow]

I saw some TVs that were 720p but put "HD" in huge letters to distract people from the resolution count

why do they still sell those in 2025

[hoary zodiac]

720p IS HD

[misty sparrow]

I know

[hoary zodiac]

oh

[misty sparrow]

some people don't know which is crazy

[hoary zodiac]

that changes everything

I thought you meant in like 2005 or something

yeah no that's stupid

[misty sparrow]

Yeah i'm not joking

they still sell 720p tvs in 2025 with smart features

[hoary zodiac]

wtf

smart tv

low resolution panel

bring back dumb tvs

I don't need spyware on my tv

just give me a massive panel

[misty sparrow]

Theoretically you can make any TV dumb if you don't let it on the internet

[hoary zodiac]

I mean

bloatware

I'd rather not pay for what I won't use

I'd probably plug in a linux computer or something anyways

something like android x86

DEPLOY

[hoary zodiac]

actually a n100 as a "smart tv box" sounds pretty sweet ngl

[cedar compass]

And at the end being deployed infront of tank or infront of full squad

[hoary zodiac]

My brain is too homelab-rotted

when I heard deploy I thought it was in terms of deploying a docker container on a system

[icy ore]

[cedar compass]

BF and Delta force both have same issue once I even dead while deploying animation finished

[misty sparrow]

did you get that glitch with any holo sight in BF6 where you couldn't see out of the holo sight

such as with the stock AR on the assault class

[lone mango]

140 for sf750 with free shipping

[hoary zodiac]

wtf

sfxflation

[lone mango]

Cables are still tied and it has the new serial which means it was made during or after 2023

Buying

[lone mango]

New is 200

[hoary zodiac]

Is it a GaN power supply at least

[lone mango]

After tax 148

I am not sure

[hoary zodiac]

I'd rather just get a better designed compact case at that point

200 is insane

148 is...

it's pricey but sfx tax

I'd still take it

200 is outrageous

[heavy dew]

I swear I never heard of this brand up until I started looking for xoolers

[heavy dew]

Keyword is if

I still need to go into my computer and actually measure the clearance

Because my god my desktop is like 8 inches wide total

So I am definitely sure 3 inches is unsubtle, so 5 inches is the number aka ~120 mm

[hoary zodiac]

pa120 is overrated

rk120 is cheaper

[heavy dew]

Even though Ik 127 mm is 5 inches but let’s round it down

[hoary zodiac]

milimeter is the superior measurement

[lone mango]

Probably max it can take is peerless assassin mini

If you remove that shroud

[hoary zodiac]

eh

I'd say it can fit the mini

It's almost able to fit the pa120

[lone mango]

If it could take a rear 92mm then yeah

But it takes 80 because it is thin

[hoary zodiac]

there's some inefficiencies in the spacing

modern cases have the fans packed in tighter to the margins

or even a well designed sff of the era really

[lone mango]

Yeah if it was closer to the motherboard and lowered a little it could take 92

But the nr200 has a gap between the 92mm and the board

That can take pa or rk but it is at the max

Id be curious to see how well the axp does because of that shroud on the side

Actually that thing is huge

It would have to be removed anyway

I guess get the pa and the mini and return one of them

If pa doesnt fit then return that and use the mini

[hoary zodiac]

rk cheaper

rk rk rk rk rk rk

[lone mango]

Or if you are able to put the board in, measure from the cpu to the panel

[lone mango]

I have this in the computer I am gonna sell

[hoary zodiac]

wtf

rk120 in a selling rig?

you're too generous

[lone mango]

Well it was 30

Below that you lose a lot

[hoary zodiac]

I'd just put an assassin x in it

[lone mango]

Eh not a big deal

I dont have a business

[rancid tartan]

i ended up ordering a bluetooth antenna it works better but it still cuts out the audio is it bcuz im on windows 10

[hoary zodiac]

I usually use a built in solution to avoid the usb overhead

even an ax210 in a cheap adapter works better than the usb options out there

[rancid tartan]

i got the 1 with the antenna slot

[hoary zodiac]

What kind of adapter is it?

Does it run on usb or pcie?

[rancid tartan]

uh 2 cable looking things in the back of the MB

no pcie

[hoary zodiac]

That's not very specific

[arctic lily]

why do u keep sending this

[hoary zodiac]

Sounds like a usb based adapter from the looks of things

[arctic lily]

lol

[rancid tartan]

it is near the usbports on the bacl

[hoary zodiac]

Do the "cables" plug into the usb headers on the motherboard?

And not into pcie in any shape of form (m.2, pcie x1, etc)

[rancid tartan]

those 2 gold peices is the antenna

[hoary zodiac]

Eh?

So it's built into the motherboard

[rancid tartan]

yes I guess

[hoary zodiac]

Sounds like a driver issue then

[arctic lily]

wait hold on

[rancid tartan]

im on the mostup 2 date 1

[arctic lily]

if he got an externally supplied wifi antenna

[hoary zodiac]

Have you actually installed the motherboard Bluetooth drivers

[arctic lily]

but he plugged the antennas into his motherboard

shouldnt he plug the antennas to the bluetooth card itself

[hoary zodiac]

...

The motherboard wifi soc supplies both wifi and bt

At least they should

There is no separate "bluetooth card"

It's the same SoC

[arctic lily]

oh

he phrased it weird earlier

[hoary zodiac]

Indeed

I thought he had an external adapter

[arctic lily]

Same

[hoary zodiac]

But apparently it's built in

[arctic lily]

when theyre replying to someone else

[hoary zodiac]

The antenna does not process the bluetooth traffic

The SoC on your motherboard dpes

The antenna is just a means to trasmit/receive the data

The antenna is just a piece of metal (and plastic)

[rancid tartan]

plastic i think

[hoary zodiac]

Point is

The issues are on a software level

Nothing to do with the antenna

Have you installed the Bluetooth drivers from your motherboard manufacturer's website?

[rancid tartan]

yea jus came in the mail today

[hoary zodiac]

What

[rancid tartan]

the antenna

[hoary zodiac]

...

No

The motherboard

[rancid tartan]

u want the name of it

[hoary zodiac]

The name of the motherboard inside your computer please

[rancid tartan]

its a rog x sumthin

[arctic lily]

fixed it

[hoary zodiac]

Insufficient information

[rancid tartan]

my bad hold on

lol

[arctic lily]

as a pc builder you should have this in memory

judgement

should i cop

[rancid tartan]

I think it was a Asus rog maximus X

[hoary zodiac]

Insufficient information

I know jus tryna trouble shoot my old pc build bcuz all my smaller devices are up to date but my pc is out of date

Would be ideal to show a hwinfo screenshot

In the case? I already did that lmaooo

[arctic lily]

https://tenor.com/view/how-you-felt-daredevil-dog-daredevil-mask-how-you-felt-after-saying-gif-23773112

But I know the case originally comes with a side vent tube tunnel mf thing for god knows what reason so that’s all the clearance I can physically get

[hoary zodiac]

Vive la France 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷

[heavy dew]

If only this damn Enlight company was still in business, they could’ve easily made a modern version of this case

[heavy dew]

Would’ve had fake 5.25” expansion bays and actual cable management and holes to run cables but NOOO they just had to go outta business

[rancid tartan]

that is my motherboard

[heavy dew]

Now I have to pray that silver stone drops that dope ass retro case

[upper rain]

not if i cop it first

[heavy dew]

If it’s not $5000

Or something ridiculous

[hoary zodiac]

Oh my god so much plastic

[upper rain]

vibe le france 💅

[lone mango]

You would have to get rid of it anyway

so nbd

[heavy dew]

Yeah I got rid of it but IDK if I threw it out

I’m hoping I didnt

OH WAJT

it didn’t come with it

thermalright aqua elite 240 white with an nzxt 240mm fan at 2400 rpm

[hoary zodiac]

yeah no wonder

you got an aio cooling a chip that doesn't produce much heat

[hoary zodiac]

ahhhhhhhhhh

[arctic lily]

if only i could get better chip

[hoary zodiac]

unsyncronised RGB

💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀

[arctic lily]

no bro its sychronized

[hoary zodiac]

I'm sorry but this is rainbow puke

[arctic lily]

LISTEN

the nzxt for some reason

treats the fan leds as one long strip of led

[hoary zodiac]

This is objectively the worst way to use RGB

[arctic lily]

instead of two fans

ill set it all to red then youll be happy

[sinful blade]

You think that’s bad?

[hoary zodiac]

it doesn't even have to be one color

just has to be consistent

[hoary zodiac]

ok to be fair

that's less offensive on the eyes

[sinful blade]

The cpu colour rotates

Buy the other two are static atm

[hoary zodiac]

Still looks better than a bag of skittles

gradient on fans only look good if it's synchronised

static colors, even if it's rotating are fine

I still hate this but at least the colour gradient is consistent

[sinful blade]

I’m waiting for new ram to synchronize everything

[arctic lily]

you can thank nzxt

[hoary zodiac]

does nzxt even make anything good

💀

[sinful blade]

https://tenor.com/view/yuck-gross-gif-23415329

[sinful blade]

No

[arctic lily]

i mean the fans were fast and convenient

I will never recc anything from them ever

[hoary zodiac]

that's like every single fan

[heavy dew]

Does anyone know a company that can make a mechanical keyboard that looks like one of those beige PS/2 keyboards for your IBM

[sinful blade]

So are thermalright
And Corsair
And sama
And Lian li

[hoary zodiac]

putting corsair in the same category as thermalright is insane

[sinful blade]

Etsy maybe

[hoary zodiac]

corsair is halfway nzxt

[sinful blade]

The only reason I put it, is I own them

[hoary zodiac]

it's joever arcticels

[hoary zodiac]

they suffer from a lot of the same issues as nzxt

overpriced plastic, bloatware

[sinful blade]

Corsair might be mad with pricing, software, and some qc
But at least they make a few good products

Like Corsair psus are pretty much untouchable with reliability

[hoary zodiac]

their psus and cases are decent

[hoary zodiac]

debatable

they're very good

but certainly not "untouchable"

that's just glazing at that point

[sinful blade]

They have a good rma process for them

They might not be untouchable, but you’d be hard pressed to find someone that’s had more than one fail

In 5 years

[hoary zodiac]

well that's my point

they're not untouchable

that's the only issue I had with that sentence

massive exaggeration of how good their psus are

even though they pretty much are some of the best in the market

[arctic lily]

thermalright is the goat of aios

[sinful blade]

They are of very good quality

[arctic lily]

intel's rma is insane

[hoary zodiac]

corsair is also prone to quality issues regarding their psus too

[sinful blade]

They’re the goat of cooling

[hoary zodiac]

notably the CV series

[arctic lily]

they keep yo thermals right amiright

[hoary zodiac]

I'd argue most psu oems are very much capable of making psus that's on par if not superior to corsair

only that a lot of it is going to the enterprise market rather than the consumer market

[arctic lily]

i have the gamemax rgb pro 750w gold 💀

[hoary zodiac]

have it

[hoary zodiac]

pics or it didn't happen

[arctic lily]

bro i have to move stuff on my desk

[hoary zodiac]

That is a literal F tier

and you are telling me you have it paired with hardware worth over $10

[hoary zodiac]

correction

E tier

[hoary zodiac]

why

[arctic lily]

yes

[hoary zodiac]

you spent more money on fans than on your power supply

[arctic lily]

because younger me thought it looked cool

[arctic lily]

i spent 75 dollars on psu

[hoary zodiac]

WHAT

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I'm 100% serious when I say

replace that immediately

It doesn't matter if it's "been running fine"

[arctic lily]

its only a bad rating cuz they sent different samples to reviewers than to public

[hoary zodiac]

it is a ticking time bomb

without exaggeration

[arctic lily]

time for you to stfu bro

[hoary zodiac]

I'm serious

I'm not even trolling at this point

you have several hundred dollars worth of hardware

[arctic lily]

i dont have money

[hoary zodiac]

what's cheaper

replacing the psu

or an entire computer

[arctic lily]

when either costs more than $0

[hoary zodiac]

the only redeeming factor is that you're running it with relatively light load

that decreases the chance of it just popping significantly

When that power supply does eventually pop

It's going to hurt a lot more than the $70 or so to just replace the psu now

[arctic lily]

what part of i cant...

should i in a better world get a lower wattage or same wattage

also its better than the thermaltake smart 500w i had before it

[hoary zodiac]

that's...

debatable

depending on the smart unit

[arctic lily]

80 plus white

[hoary zodiac]

ok that's just as bad

[arctic lily]

^

[hoary zodiac]

is that a statement

or a question

[arctic lily]

yes

question

[hoary zodiac]

650w would be fine for the system

[arctic lily]

ok

[hoary zodiac]

Asrock CL-650G is $69.99

[arctic lily]

what if i upgraded to a 9600x or 14600k in the future

[arctic lily]

that is well rated?

[hoary zodiac]

It's not a ticking time bomb

anyways

for $89 the montech century 2 850w is a high end unit

if you're planning to upgrade get that instead

CL-G is B tier

CL-B is C tier

I don't recommend the Bronze psus

they're generally lower quality for the $10 price difference

$59 vs $69 for the CL-650B relative to the CL-650G

[sinful blade]

@arctic lily @hoary zodiac refurbished Corsair psus go for pretty cheap

[arctic lily]

didnt yall just debate their legitimacy

[hoary zodiac]

?

No

It wasn't a debate on their quality

[sinful blade]

It was a debate on the quality of my sentence

[hoary zodiac]

More that I didn't agree with the word "untouchable" when applied to corsair

Exactly

Their psus are very good (generally)

We both agree on that

[hoary zodiac]

Eh

Not worth

It's around the price range of a new psu
