Me: Yo a new mouse would be cool

My backpack: Please let me die

frosty sinew
#

bruh

craggy shoal
#

I guess that's for next paycheck lol

#

Car payment is due tomorrow. Whatever else I have to payoff. *cough* Affirm loans

olive plaza
#

I mean it could be anything from, just needs windows installed, to the motherboard

#

But more than likely it's either an SSD failure or the m.2 on the board is dead

#

If you were to run the diagnostic and it shows the SSD exists, it's definitely worth the money

#

70 dollars for a gaming laptop where the only problem is you have to load windows, that would be a steal

craggy shoal
#

If you're not afraid of fixing things, $70 is well worth it imo

spark plume
#

So I have a Security System for my Place an I need to replace the Hard Drive in the DVR Box what 1TB HDD do you Recommand me getting

craggy shoal
#

Is this for constantly recording CCTV footage (or similar)? I'd go with any Western Digital Purple hard drive. They're made for stuff like that

spark plume
#

I do Record 24/7

craggy shoal
#

Yeah go with WD Purple

spark plume
craggy shoal
#

Yikes. I'm curious though, what kind of hard drive?

#

I wouldn't put a WD Blue in that thing, even a server drive tbh

olive plaza
#

If there's an SSD failure that brings about another layer of, do you wanna open the laptop.

#

If it's the motherboard, forget it

spark plume
#

it was Seagate Barracuda 1TB that came with the System

craggy shoal
#

If it's the motherboard, the only thing you can try doing is pulling the CMOS battery. If that doesn't work, you're out $70; just dump it at that point

craggy shoal
olive plaza
#

Those are the two to consider, they are made for surveillance applications so they are made for 24/7 operation

craggy shoal
#

Yeah Skyhawk also isn't bad

olive plaza
#

What I don't recommend is getting an SSD

spark plume
spark plume
olive plaza
#

SSDs wear out when you write a lot of data to them, that's what causes them to fail. So putting one into a surveillance system where it gets video written to it all the time is gonna make it fail prematurely

#

Unless you get an enterprise rated SSD, which costs a few grand

craggy shoal
#

My parents bought a Reolink NVR surveillance system. It's amazing other than it came with a dead hard drive (WD Purple. I suspect it was because of the vibrations from the device traveling). I ended up replacing it with another WD Purple and it's been running ever since

olive plaza
#

@spark plume is this a super mission-critical surveillance system? Or is this just for home use

spark plume
olive plaza
#

hang on you said vibrations in travel

#

are you using this in a vehicle

spark plume
craggy shoal
spark plume
olive plaza
#

So are you using this in a vehicle

#

because if it died due to "vibrations in travel" you need to change up your setup unless you wanna continually replace hard drives

craggy shoal
#

Nah we got it through Amazon (so we had it delivered obviously lol)

#

Vibrations that took place some time within shipping and prior to delivery

#

Idk though. Could've been anything that killed it

olive plaza
#

oh that makes more sense

#

I was here like

craggy shoal
#

Yeah I just have a network surveillance system for my GTI 💀

olive plaza
#

I was picturing a work van

olive plaza
#

@spark plume i was noticing Newegg sells the 1TB Purple drives refurb for $28

#

you can literally buy 2 of those and still spend less than 1 new drive

craggy shoal
craggy shoal
#

Ehhh I don't trust refurb. That's just me though. I never do refurb storage unless it's from serverpartsdeals

olive plaza
#

this is from TR Reuse

#

I've bought plenty of laptop parts from them on eBay

#

That said, it's exactly what I said before, you can buy 2 of the used drives for less than 1 new one

#

so you take your chances

#

if this is a super critical surveillance system, then yeah spend the money and buy new

#

if this is for surveillance on your house

#

buy 2 of the used ones

#

then you have a backup if the first one fails

spark plume
#

Im doing the 2 for 1 cause money is very tight

olive plaza
#

I just do recommend plugging each drive into your PC beforehand and running crystaldiskinfo

#

check the drives both work and aren't failing

#

that way you don't install one, put the other in the drawer, and turns out the second one was bad the whole time

spark plume
#

True to that an if they are failing I can send it back right?

#

Thank you @craggy shoal & @olive plaza

but even the more limited approach they used was pretty busted

Unless someone pushed an update but I don’t think my rgb software updates automatically

Yeah just ran a full scan and yup its flagging openrgb

All of those say ring0 I guess that just shows how many apps use it

I believe it means you can also record audio to go along with what you snip?

Kinda weird to put into a screenshot app but okay

Does snipping tool also allow video screen cap?

yes

I didn't know that

That makes more sense then

My boss is a little bit of a dip sometimes

#

So I got that dual-5090 system all put together yesterday and started running some heavy AI workloads on it, cuz that's the only thing I know of that can run both GPUs at full throttle. I set it all up like an hour before closing yesterday, and left it to run overnight, to make sure it wouldn't shut off or overheat.

#

My boss shut it off when he went to leave.

#

He said, and I quote, "the fans were running loud so I shut it off"

rigid sinew
#

Oh goodness 🤣

olive plaza
#

I was like, you know with two 5090's the fans are gonna be a little loud

royal crow

No crap Sherlock😂

So yeah I got it back up and running again before I left today. It's gonna run all weekend now

Inb4 it gets shut off again derpyBlob

give me physical access and I'd do the same stonks1

olive plaza
#

oh no, I told him I was gonna start it again. So if he shuts it off again then when I come in monday I'm just taking it all apart

#

then he can explain to his brother who runs the company with him, why we don't have a PC to take photos of

cuz I'm not gonna allow that to get listed for sale without proper testing

But anyways back to what I was saying

#

The game was released in a slop state

Don't care what happened afterwards it wasn't worth the asking price at launch

it makes new games look optimized

Now

hoary zodiac
#

Will not support an industry that releases slop

nocturne flicker
hoary zodiac
#

They stretched themselves way too thin

#

And as a result the release was slop

#

Compared to what they promised

If I paid $60+ for that game at launch I would've been pissed

opaque sedge

#

I'm talking about cyberpunk

But yes

#

Also applies to monster hunter

opaque sedge

Got hard muted in the wilds maincord 💀

#

Dont tell theo

hoary zodiac
#

The consumer should not have to pay $60+ for slop

#

If the studio wasn't capable of delivering what they promised

#

They shouldn't have promised it

misty sparrow
#

then again if they fixed the game similar to a NMS situation I think it's justified to support that

hoary zodiac
#

At least they didn't completely coward out after launch

#

It still doesn't justify the launch

#

But it's not the worst case scenario

My argument still stands

frigid stag

like i dont get how u can pay almost 6 grand and not research how this stuff works

hoary zodiac

Not worth $170

#

The whole bundle is worth it but $170 for that board is outrageous

frigid stag

i think he got it partially liquid cooled but it was all corsair build kits for water cooling

opaque sedge
hoary zodiac

That's not the point

The point is charging $170 for that board is stupid

nocturne flicker

Tuf boards frequently have or they did last I check spontaneous issues where parts of the board malfunction at or shortly after installation

opaque sedge
hoary zodiac

Still not worth $170

For AM4, I personally had two TUF boards just have stuff randomly fail and when I was looking at AM5 it was a frequent complaint for specifically the Tuf boards

frigid stag
#

the strix ones were like 500 kekw

#

for b650e

hoary zodiac
#

Hey

#

For the low low price of $500

#

You get a seven segment display

#

That probably costs them a couple cents

frigid stag
#

and like 800 for crosshair with some led display

#

nah no led screen on strix

hoary zodiac
#

Wait

#

IT DOESN'T HAVE A SEVEN SEGMENT DISPLAY

#

SCAM

#

Literally just cheap plastic 💀

frigid stag
#

theyre cheaper now only like 250 iirc

hoary zodiac
#

You say that but

#

Compare that to the $150 board

#

💀

#

Pretty much the same thing but with less cheap plastic

frigid stag
#

i mean it has better vrms and other features

hoary zodiac
#

Not worth $250

#

I can get a whole X chipset

opaque sedge
#

Oh right those got cheaper too

remote geode
#

i once was in a buffet and i fell in love with this gravy

hoary zodiac
#

I'm taking those pcie lanes

remote geode
#

and now i just keep making it

opaque sedge
#

Gigabyte reminds me

remote geode
#

😋

opaque sedge
hoary zodiac
#

Brb checking vrms

frigid stag
#

it would be worth it a lot if you could actually run faster ram and get more performance on those higher end boards

#

but 6400 1:1 still best

#

compared to 8000 2:1 in games

hoary zodiac
#

Ok to asus's credit

#

The vrms are slightly better

#

Oh wait

frigid stag
#

asrock has some decent ones too

hoary zodiac
#

Eh

#

I wouldn't trust asrock

#

With an X3D

frigid stag
#

taichu is nice

#

yea i wouldnt recommend it with a zen 5 cpu

#

maybe the 600 series boards dont melt tho

opaque sedge
#

Rip asrock

hoary zodiac
#

But then again

#

The vrms are slightly worse

#

But it's $189

#

So

#

🤷‍♂️

lone mango
#

Just way more with 800

hoary zodiac
#

Oh wait

#

They're both around the $180-200 range

#

Hmm

#

Goose what do you think

opaque sedge
#

Asus boards are shitty with free rgb software like openrgb btw

hoary zodiac
#

Gigabyte X870 wifi 7 or Strix B650E-E Wifi

opaque sedge
#

Bruh

hoary zodiac
#

I feel like it's down to pcie lanes

opaque sedge
#

The gigabyte duh

hoary zodiac
#

Well it's not that clear cut

#

The vrms are slightly worse

opaque sedge
hoary zodiac
#

And the eagle costs slightly more

hoary zodiac
lone mango
#

For some reason I really want that 9070 for $550

hoary zodiac
#

It depends if the pcie lanes are the deciding factor or the vrms are

#

But at the same time

#

Literally both of these boards can drive X3Ds fine so

opaque sedge
#

Wbt my board?

hoary zodiac
#

What board

opaque sedge
#

Asus tuf b650-E wifi

north crescent
#

But that was am4 era

hoary zodiac
#

Oops cropped it out

#

I mean it's not the worse

#

Just not worth $170

#

It's solid but definitely not worth $170

#

just looking at vrms

opaque sedge
hoary zodiac
#

I'm not looking at that

#

I'm looking at a scenario where a consumer walks into microcenter and just buys that board

#

In your specific case it's a good deal

acoustic palm
#

hi gang

acoustic palm
#

whats the daily debate

opaque sedge
#

Cough excuse me

hoary zodiac
#

When I said it's not worth $170

lone mango
hoary zodiac
#

I was looking at individual price

acoustic palm
#

where

hoary zodiac
#

The bundle is worth it

lone mango
#

Newegg

hoary zodiac
#

Even with mediocre ram it would be worth

lone mango
#

I sent in deals

hoary zodiac
#

Because the overall price/perf is significantly better

lone mango
#

Even though its two fan, it is still not hot

opaque sedge
hoary zodiac
#

$170 isn't the worst price for a B650 with 12 phase either

#

So

lone mango
#

Sapphire made an efficient design this generation

hoary zodiac
#

It's not that atrocious

#

Just overpriced

misty sparrow
opaque sedge
acoustic palm
hoary zodiac
#

Which is completely outweighed by the X3D

#

It's suboptimal priced I'll say that

#

(motherboard)

#

mc?

hoary zodiac
#

It has more because that's AMD designed X870 to have more

heady plinth
#

They shifted the names from 600. X870e gets a double chipset, x870 does not. Only difference from a b650e is the mandatory usb4.

hoary zodiac
heady plinth
#

Different models can have different layouts and allocations for how they use lanes but it doesn't have more.

frigid stag
#

its funny how the x670/e is better in some ways

heady plinth
#

Looks like hardware unboxed agrees with me.

heady plinth
#

What about asrock?

opaque sedge
#

Think their boards have different pcie lanes or smth i forgot

lone mango
#

Thats nice

acoustic palm
#

pull a froog

#

@upper rain make him do it

lone mango
#

Edge is 48 lmao

nocturne flicker
lone mango
#

Such a delta

heady plinth
#

No. Afaik, they did make the only b650 with a gen 5 slot and the only b850 with a gen 4 slot. Those were optional though. Closest thing I can think of to what you might means.

hoary zodiac
#

I'm confused here

#

You'll still be able to use more PCIE lanes on X870 than you would on B650 no?

heady plinth
#

No. They're the same. X670, x670e, x870e had a double chipset and 8 extra lanes available routed into it. Typically they'd have some extra/faster USB ports and an extra m.2 slot.

#

Always just look at the spec of each board though, what you get will vary by model

#

X870 has guaranteed pcie 5 and USB 4 on the rear. That's the only differences from b650.

hoary zodiac
#

Are the "8 extra lanes" not more pcie lanes?

heady plinth
#

That's only on x870e, not x870.

hoary zodiac
#

Ok that's fair

heady plinth
#

They changed the naming pattern and shifted things up a tier. A620 basically turned in b840 too.

hoary zodiac
#

That does bring up another question

#

Why the hell did AMD made X870 into a glorified B850

heady plinth
#

💵

hoary zodiac
#

Actually a scam

#

This is actually disgusting

lone mango
#

Yeah 800 kinda mid fr

hoary zodiac
#

There is zero reason to get it over B650

#

So basically

#

Going back to the strix

#

The strix is actually better

lone mango
#

X870 is really more like b850e

hoary zodiac
#

Because we're taking pcie lanes out of the equation

heady plinth
#

$200 for the b650e strix is better than $200 for an eagle yeah.

lone mango
#

That moment when x670 has more lanes than x870

icy ore
hoary zodiac
heady plinth
#

Better vrm, upgraded audio. Unless you care about the usb4 ports it's just better.

hoary zodiac
#

Cheaper and better vrms

#

I'd rather just spend $150 on an b650 eagle and not spend more money but like

#

Jesus christ the $190-200 range doesn't look good at all

heady plinth
#

Depends what's on sale. X670e tomahawk has been around there recently.

hoary zodiac
#

X870 is a ripoff

hoary zodiac
#

You should actually get more lanes no?

#

Gonna check vrms brb

heady plinth
#

It can be. Does t necessarily mean will be. There were lower end x670 too that didn't come close to fully utilizing what they had available. Gotta create product segmentation.

fair onyx
#

Anybody know any good places to buy a PCIe gen 4 bifurcation riser?

hoary zodiac
#

Eh

#

Kinda mediocre in terms of vrms

heady plinth
#

That's not mediocre. It's very overkill even for a 9950x or 7950x.

hoary zodiac
#

Yeah but compared to B650s around the same price

heady plinth
#

14x 80a is a lot more than you could ever need.

hoary zodiac
#

Well yes but

#

If we're just looking at vrms

#

I'd rather buy a cheaper B650

heady plinth
#

Vrm once it's a little past good enough isn't gaining you anything. Just look at connectivity features and save yourself some stress.

hoary zodiac
#

I guess you get some more lanes

heady plinth
#

That also doesn't really matter. You want to look at what they're used for.

hoary zodiac
arctic lily
#

what is going on

fair onyx
#

I need to find a PCIe gen 4 x 2x 8 lane splitter with a built in PCIe switch, if anybody knows where to get something like that. I have a feeling they will be very expensive though :<

#

we got sherlock holmes

hoary zodiac
#

I don't think you're going to find a supplier by asking in newegg

rancid juniper
#

What a link

hoary zodiac
#

Oh wait

#

I was thinking of a different type of pcie switch

#

I was thinking of something like this

fair onyx
#

I need a splitter with a split chip on it, so I can use it to split my PCIe on a non bifurcated motherboard

hoary zodiac
#

You're just running gen 4 with gen 4 lanes right?

fair onyx
#

Just wanna split from 1 16x to 2 8x

hoary zodiac
#

Yeah I was thinking of something different

#

Like running gen 4 with gen 5
