Worked fine for the wifi drivers

Pc crashed

#

It might actually be dying this time

#

Um

#

WHAT THE F

#

All i did was run a windows security scan

#

Dawg what

#

I made sure to wipe everything

tranquil pebble
sour falcon
#

It keeps crashing

#

It isn’t even blue screening anymore

#

Just a 0.2 sec black screen with an error message then it instantly reboots

tranquil pebble
sour falcon
#

Now i’m doing something even worse

#

Hopefully it’s the OS and not my computer as the BIOS updates

#

Hoping it fixes some instabilities

#

It’s like 12-13 versions behind holy

#

Didn’t realize it was that far

Idr which one did the-

#

Yeah them

I got the O & P right that’s all

tranquil pebble
#

Oppo and OnePlus are practically the same at this point anyways

sour falcon

I think i watched an unboxing video of that phone from TheRelaxingEnd

sinful blade

#

i cannot afford a gift atm

sinful blade

Still got $1100 to go

#

When you’re rich you can get me a tender box from big deans

sour falcon
#

Bonus of new employers paying you 1 week of work for 2 weeks because they moved over in the middle of their pay period

sinful blade
#

Or WO

sour falcon
#

big deans is probably cheaper ☠️

#

Idk never been to it

sinful blade
#

I didn’t expect much

#

But they’re good

#

Like almost chilis good

#

They’re expensive though

#

Worth it

sour falcon
#

Not even worth risking it

tranquil pebble

#

That doesn’t surprise me

sinful blade

#

Fair

sinful blade
#

Although that’s a big drive

sour falcon
#

Not really

#

I drove 3 hrs to md to buy a $400 simrig one weekend

#

Just because

#

6hr drive for 1 thing

#

Do you have an extra steering wheel

sour falcon
#

I do not

sinful blade
#

Dang

sour falcon

This thing was a STEAL

#

You can have my old one when i inevitably upgrade if you’d like

sinful blade
#

I saw someone up the mountain selling a wheel for $20 peepoSadSip

sour falcon
#

the wheel***

sinful blade
#

Wife wants it

sour falcon
#

I have the G923

#

it’s like $350 plus the shifter

Elden ring doesnt even have half of that performance

fair onyx
#

Ok, my setup has been upgraded considerably :3

fair onyx
#

guys, I think I have the most cursed display setup

sinful blade
fair onyx
#

All OLED :3

#

The specs of these displays are insane lmao

#

the phone is a meme tho, i don't plan on actually keeping it there. Plus, having 2 high res streams to 2 different devices using the same driver causes some serious issues when running beefier games or watching videos

So I will drop the phone

#

but the 2 tablets are dope

sinful blade
#

Meanwhile I have a single 21” 75hz ips display

fair onyx
#

I could never go back to one... I could survive with 2

#

I would thrive with 3 (I have for a while), but more is always great

sinful blade
#

That is all

fair onyx
#

oh, thats an IPS version of my main monitor

#

or wait no

#

thats not ultrawide

sinful blade
#

Nah

#

But that monitor has everything I want
1440p, 180hz, dp+hdmi, 27”, hdr, and IPS

fair onyx
#

is it actual HDR?

#

Oh, it does not seem to be. It looks like it doesn't get bright enough for any actual HDR, and it has a pretty poor contrast ratio. I have a feeling you could find a better option spec wise for the same price from a different brand @sinful blade

worthy meteor
#

It's the usual "fake" hdr400

fair onyx
#

My main monitor has HDR400, but it absolutely rocks. But thats cause its QD OLED, so it has an insane contrast range for that 400 nits to really work. It also has 1000 nit peak

worthy meteor
#

1440p180 for <$200 is about as good as you'll get

worthy meteor
#

Not hdr400 that gets slapped on everything

fair onyx
fair onyx
#

yeah his HDR400 True black, and HDR1000

worthy meteor
fair onyx
#

the 320 is its SDR, so IDK

worthy meteor
#

But all of the 1440p144+ IPS panels are basically the same thing, not too much of a difference

fair onyx
#

I have learned that contrast matters monumentally more than brightness

My left side IPS was 400 nits, but my QD OLED at 50% brightness (its 250 nits at 100%) looked brighter and much clearer

#

swapping to a fully OLED setup has allowed me to run them all much dimmer, while still having them be extremely bright, perception wise

worthy meteor
elfin mural
#

that fact alone makes me want an oled laptop

#

:p

elfin mural
#

i want a matte oled tho

#

ree

fair onyx
elfin mural
#

or glossy glass

fair onyx
#

Matte OLED's lose basically all contrast benefits of OLED

elfin mural
#

glossy plastic sucks to clean with

fair onyx
#

ohhh, I see

elfin mural
#

ye

fair onyx
#

My laptop is glossy glass

worthy meteor
#

I have an oled panel, it's great, but it's hard to apply any oled standards to any other display technology

elfin mural
#

lenovo legions with oled are glossy plastic

worthy meteor
#

IPS glow is way too noticeable right now for it to ever one to one with OLED

elfin mural
#

so annoying

fair onyx
elfin mural
#

ips glow really bothers me at times ngl

fair onyx
#

yeah, it bothers me so much I stopped using my left side monitor 😅

#

I need to sell it

worthy meteor
fair onyx
#

I mean its not JUST contrast. I am just saying if the only difference was brightness and contrast, the lower brightness higher contrast would likely look so much better

worthy meteor
#

I still believe it's not going to be a big issue because it's usually not just contrast that changes, and usually the tradeoffs will make it look worse

fair onyx
#

KTC has a mini LED for $350, that probably looks absolutely ass unfortunately 😭

I have still yet to see any miniLED display look "good"

worthy meteor
#

Either way, OLED looks great, IPS doesn't have anywhere near infinite contrast to make up for brightness

worthy meteor
#

1000->2000 is nothing compared to 1000->infinite

fair onyx
#

thats also why the big screen beyond with its 220 nits or whatever, is reported to feel much brighter than 400+ nit LCD headsets, cause the black level point is infinite black

worthy meteor
#

IPS glow is kinda a disadvantage to IPS brightness

#

Can't have high dynamic range if everything is brighter

#

It's just all shifted brighter

fair onyx
#

yeah

sinful blade
fair onyx
#

For ultra min-maxxed panels like this (this seems to be the best value spot, with hundreds of options for basically the same monitor), going for big name brand will always mean less value

sinful blade
#

Yeah
I didn’t see this in pcpp

#

So I’m glad you showed me

fair onyx
#

all good

sinful blade
#

That one comes with a dp cable too

fair onyx
#

I just knew you could likely get the same or more for less haha

sinful blade
#

So it’s a bonus

fair onyx
#

I have an MSI MEG, So it made sense that I wouldn't name brand, because it was the highest and display offered on the market at the time of purchase

But for anything that's mid-range or lower, you can typically find the same quality or higher from lesser known brands for much less money

honest birch
#

Higher pixel density and its a better panel

#

🤷

sinful blade
#

I need the size so I’ll stick with @fair onyx ‘s find

fair onyx
#

Sometimes just having a panel be bigger is more beneficial than that stuff

My external monitors away from my main monitor are monumentally higher pixel density than my main monitor, but my main monitor is my main monitor because it's big lol

sinful blade
#

I’ll eventually get another monitor

fair onyx
#

All of my monitors are QD-OLED or AMOLED, so they all have exceptional image quality, which means I don't have to focus about putting content on the "good" monitor, just the one that has the most logical size

#

Like my old Tab S6, it is my dedicated permanent discord/gilded monitor

#

My monitor on the right is my dedicated permanent video monitor

My main monitor is my dedicated permanent gaming/productivity monitor

And my new Tab S10 Ultra is my dedicated drawing monitor

#

To me, image quality matters a lot more than resolution or refresh rate

sinful blade
#

I wish I could get an oled

fair onyx
#

They don't even have to be powerful or anything. My smaller of the two is coming up on 7 years old. I could only imagine how cheap people sell them for used

#

And that's a 2k 10.5 inch AMOLED display with 10 point touch, a built in battery, and an S pen that can be used in drawing apps on your PC with 4096 levels of pressure, velocity, and tilt sensitivity

#

And, the display software runs completely wirelessly, so you can place it wherever you want, or even use it in bed

The software that I use is called super display, and I 10 out of 10 recommend it for anybody looking to use a tablet for a secondary display. I do think it's like 6:00 or $7, but if you are trying to add a display long-term, it is hands down the best software I have used

If you are trying to add multiple different displays from old devices, then I recommend space desk. It's not as customizable, reliable, or fast, but it supports multiple additional displays at the same time, which super display cannot do

sinful blade
#

Did you know you can just… buy school’s cafeteria tables

fair onyx
#

1: 34 inch 3440x1440 175hz QD OLED HDR400 TrueBlack, HDR1000, 10 bit

2: 16 inch, 3k 120hz 2X Dynamic AMOLED portable monitor, HDR500

3: 14.6 inch 3k 120hz 2x Dynamic AMOLED S10 Ultra, full touch, 8192 pressure sensitivity, tilt, velocity sensitivity with pen, HDR600

4: 10.5 inch 3k 60hz AMOLED TabS6, full touch, 4096 pressure sensitivity, tilt, velocity sensitivity with pen, HDR400

5: 6.3 inch 3k 60hz AMOLED Note 9, full touch, 4096 pressure sensitivity with pen, HDR1000

#

those are the specs of my displays. I don't really use 5 very often tho, cause it causes issues

elfin mural
#

this laptop has either an ips, 500 nits oled or 1000 nits oled depending on region and config

#

glossy plastic is such a letdown tho

fair onyx
#

@elfin muralif you want one of the best displays money can get, grab a galaxy Book

elfin mural
#

i game and do all things on my laptop, so galaxy books don't answer my needs tbh

fair onyx
#

The Galaxy Book 5 pro has a 5070 IIRC

elfin mural
#

i do want a zephyrus buuuut

#

waaay too expensive

#

i intend to pay like 1.5k in the future or less

fair onyx
#

fair enough. I went galaxy book cause I needed the best display

elfin mural
#

ill get oled only on laptops with glass screens

fair onyx
#

100%

elfin mural
#

i dont wanna risk scratching the glossy plastics lol

fair onyx
#

the galaxy books have that, by the way

#

might be worth to look at older gen ones. Just and idea

elfin mural
#

i suppose so

fair onyx
#

the galaxy book 3 ultra is $1260 refurb

elfin mural
#

5070ti for like 1600

#

i can't make myself pay 2k for 5070 zephyrus

fair onyx
#

16 inch, 3k, 120hz 600 nit 10 bit VRR AMOLED display with 10 point touch, AND S Pen support for drawing, i9 13900h, 32GB DDR5, and an RTX 4070

fair onyx
elfin mural
#

im yet to have been spoiled by oled on a laptop

fair onyx
#

a gamaing laptop will have a lot more grunt for sure, but something like the galaxy book would be much lighter, and has a monumentally better display. Just suggestions

elfin mural
#

yeah i appreciate the suggestions

fair onyx
#

no problem!

#

that galaxy book display is so damn good that my right most monitor is a portable version of that exact display haha

#

its identical to the one on my laptop

elfin mural
#

kinda want this, i can just run games at 1080p

#

buuuuut 16gb soldered ram

#

2099

fair onyx
# elfin mural *cri*

ok yeah, at that point go galaxy book

Bigger, same CPU perf, same RAM perf, and a slightly weaker GPU for $1260

elfin mural
#

doesn't the galaxy have 45w power limit for the dgpu?

fair onyx
#

I have no idea, let me see

elfin mural
#

45w 4070 would be a downgrade from my 140w 4050

fair onyx
#

60W 4070, with additional 25 watts of "dynamic boost"

elfin mural
#

ah

#

not bad, not bad

fair onyx
#

ohhhhh, nevermind

dense locust
fair onyx
#

wait... how the

#

its 35 watts, and can temporarily boost to 60 😭

#

ok, nevermind lmao

elfin mural
#

yeah that's gonna be the world's slowest 4070 i'll ever live with

fair onyx
#

yeah, damn

#

I assume its much better for stuff like video rendering and 3D work and stuff than games

elfin mural
#

ill probably cope with ips

#

unless 2026/2027 has a great deal lul

#

that's when i wanna buy a new laptop

fair onyx
#

oh damn, no wonder. Its in the same ultra light shell as the 360 lmfaooo

#

that is absurd

#

the galaxy book 3 360 is insanely thin and light

elfin mural
#

thin and light laptops try to be everything

fair onyx
#

thinner than the M3 macbook air if I remember

elfin mural
#

i don't mind the weight, all i want is just good gaming performance and glass oled screen

#

which is a rather premium option

fair onyx
#

0.5 inch laptop

#

absurd

elfin mural
#

legion 5 would win me over instantly had they decided to use glass

fair onyx
#

the issue is you either get a lower res stupid fast high refresh rate IPS, ot you get a super high res, much higher quality 120hz OLED/AMOLED

#

absurd laptop lmao

elfin mural
#

that's like

fair onyx
#

thats mine

elfin mural
#

thinner than two of my phones stacked together

#

without wearing a case

fair onyx
#

oh my bad, the Ultra is 0.65 inches, lol

#

16.51mm

elfin mural
#

still

#

my phone is like 7.4mm on itself

fair onyx
#

you know whats even crazier to me?

#

how thin my 2 tablets are

#

Samsung has been on the slim game for way longer than apple there

#

my 14.6 inch tablet is 5.4mm thick

#

my 10.5 inch is 5.6 mm thick

elfin mural
#

thailand has it even worse with the zeph pricing

#

5050 for 2k

#

y i k e s

fair onyx
#

ewwwww

elfin mural
#

if i have 2k i'd just get a freight forwarder and order a 5070ti variant from best buy

#

lol

fair onyx
#

god, the 5050 is such a worthless piece of silicon

#

my coworker's friend has a 5050 in his laptop. 4GB VRAM. Can't even play Marvel Rivals

elfin mural
#

5050 has 8 gigs no?

fair onyx
#

same VRAM capacity as the 1050

elfin mural
#

there's no 4gb 5050

#

i think you're thinking of a 4gb 3050

fair onyx
#

Oh... I guess he told me the wrong number. Hes not super tech savvy

#

then it must be 3050, yeah

elfin mural
#

he certainly did

fair onyx
#

ok, knowing the 5050 is 8GB makes it a little better

#

how does strix halo stack up against it?

elfin mural
#

about equal if not faster

#

iirc

#

it's like a bit behind 4060 laptop

fair onyx
#

oh, its not even close. Strix halo has like 45% more raster performance lmao

elfin mural
#

damn

#

nearly 63k thb is like 2000 usd

#

all this for a paltry 5050

#

asus gotta be joking with this profit margin

fair onyx
#

jeebus

fair onyx
elfin mural
#

i guess so

#

we do have 7% vat

#

and retailers

fair onyx
#

it doesn't make sense to make a much poorer country pay way more for less, IMO

elfin mural
#

i agree

#

it does have 32 gigs, but at least give it a 5070

fair onyx
#

I don't see why ASUS would ever align themselves like that on purpose

elfin mural
#

i'd buy it instantly without asking too many questions

#

here's me hoping a future 6070 laptop gets 12 gigs

#

5070 is still 8 gigs on laptops lol

fair onyx
#

gross

#

rancid, even

elfin mural
#

still not it to buy a laptop for my criteria

#

maybe im wanting a lot too soon

#

next gen or two should hopefully bring good stuff

At random points in my life my friend hands me a bottle of spray cheese. I never expect it and it's been around 4 years since he last did it.

One of the better spray cheeses I've tried

brittle lynx
#

is it worth going with win 10 ltsc instead of regular 10 pro? there are many windows 10 features i use except the ms apps such as calendar, outlook... and I know ltsc also doesn't have things like the default image viewer and windows sandbox

#

idk what sort of security updates ltsc offers, maybe it's worth going for 10 pro + debloat

#

opinions?

#

I've read ltsc can be a bit buggy and less performing for gaming, is this still true?

elfin mural
ashen swan
#

I'm only on year older then the 660

elfin mural
#

it's missing some important gaming services and stuff

ashen swan
#

GTX 660

elfin mural
#

but you can install em back if you need em

#

then you'll happily run games with less bloat

brittle lynx
elfin mural
#

like xbox service is entirely gone

#

and a lot of libraries are missing

#

once you install those the games will work

#

there's plenty good all in one pack around the internet

#

more stutters i think are just a result of placebo effect

#

or margin of error

#

the bugginess is all the errors one would get due to missing libraries

ashen swan

ummmmmmmmmm

#

Kind of regretting uwide oled now

brittle lynx
#

anything relevant

elfin mural
#

vcredist

#

.net framework

brittle lynx
#

there's some confusion online, some say it has a certain service other say it doesn't. like sandbox

elfin mural
#

xbox services (for microsoft games)

#

that's basically about all you need to run games without any errors

brittle lynx
#

I can't decide between 10 pro debloated and ltsc, there are some small but significant differences
I have no idea if the security updates will be remotely useful

elfin mural
#

ltsc has extended security updates

#

i'd get that

brittle lynx
#

can I still get windows image viewer on ltsc?

#

lemme just try a vm with ltsc so i can figure out what its like

pliant berry
#

🐧

elfin mural
brittle lynx
#

mmmh

#

online the say it can be restored via registry edits

elfin mural
#

when i ran ltsc i used a third party image viewer

dusk knot
brittle lynx
#

should i try regular ltsc or iot?

#

i dont think updates til 2032 are necessary

#

win12 will have came out by then

pliant berry
#

personally I would pick ltsc over iot but linux is also nice 🙂

brittle lynx
#

pheraps

opaque sedge
# dusk knot Y

I spent 650 on the uwide oled cuz 16:9 ones were still 550-600 at the time so i thought the extra 50-100 was worth it but now the difference is 2 hundies

#

yeah that's what im doing. rn my windows disk only exists to run after effects and infinity nikki lol

#

im still trying to find a new monitor 😔

velvet summit
brittle lynx
#

i think i'll install windows 10 pro, use ltsc on a vm for a while and see if its worth switching

#

what are the security updates about anyways?

#

to make sure windows defender removes ISOs i download thinking theyre malware?! 😭

pliant berry
#

ye to update the definitions, patch any security vulnerabilities that may be found down the road

craggy shoal
#

Good morning everybody. Reminder to run sfc /scannow and the necessary DISM commands. Here's a file that does it for y'all

dusk knot
#

What does this do? 🤔

craggy shoal
#

I'm about to install Linux on this Beelink machine that's giving BSODs without actually showing the BSOD. I have to go into BlueScreenView (btw, useful software by Nirsoft) just to view the dump info

craggy shoal
dusk knot
#

Ik

craggy shoal
#

The echo command is basically just an output to be written in the console. You can type echo Hello World as your Hello World in Batch

#

And then you should be able to recognize the sfc /scannow and DISM commands in that code

#

All it does

pliant berry
#

I had to do a chkdsk on my windows partition recently because of bitmap errors

frigid stag
#

my windows install has been so buggy its almost making me switch to 11

pliant berry
#

that is why my pc mostly runs linux now. it ain't perfect but its much nicer to deal with than windows

frigid stag
#

linux is nice but takes a while to figure out. plus software/games compatibility isnt always there

#

its like the 2nd windows install thats done the same thing where it shows a pop up “how do you want to open this”

pliant berry
#

I was only finally convinced because i also have a steam deck and pretty much all my games ran flawlessly on that

frigid stag
#

which one

#

like the distro

craggy shoal
#

I'm still debating which distro to install

pliant berry
#

my desktop just runs bazzite

#

I also thought about cachy though

craggy shoal
#

idc for "easiness" though lmao. I just want something that looks nice

#

Not LFS though lmaoo

brittle lynx
pliant berry
#

I can't say I've seen many issues with win 10 vs 11 compatibility since its usually the same installers but I guess some like the kernel anti cheats and similar might stop working at some point?

brittle lynx
#

since I don't want to use 11 I'll have to use 10 ltsc at some point considering all the attacks and exploits that have happened lately

Why tf is a 5060ti 8gb beating a 9060xt 16GB in performance

#

In some games

opaque sedge
# sinful blade In some games

If its big release titles i assume not sure 100% because they prolly optimize for nvidia hardware more given most gamers have nvidia cards or most likely game ready drivers are available quicker than amd if these games are new ones

brittle lynx

#

the iot version is also ltsc

full name is windows 11 enterprise ltsc iot

#

i believe they dont actually have any software differences

#

i believe iot will go eol a few years after the ltsc

brittle lynx
velvet summit
#

probably nothing that matters at least

rancid juniper
#

i use windows 11 just for my cpu, if it wasn't for the p-core/e-core stuff i would've stuck with windows 10

#

though i doubt the w11 scheduler is any good to begin with

velvet summit

i forget who told me this but it was probably like felix

thats good

at this point I should see if ltsc or ltsc iot is easier to acquire

i found out what is using all my ram

lone mango
#

Cyberjunk 2077 100 fps

#

Pcie power

#

16 gigs

velvet summit
lone mango
#

50% faster than a1000 in ai

lone mango
frigid stag
#

e cores more real than hyperthreading

elfin mural
#

HT also sucks in old games

#

have to disable it or it's a stutter fest

#

especially old ubisoft titles

upper rain
#

isn't that mostly an issue with older CPUs or is it also a hardware agnostic thing if you go back far enough?

elfin mural
#

it's hardware agnostic

frigid stag
#

its just a bandaid for not having enough cores usually

elfin mural
#

since old games lack support for hyperthreading

#

the game engine just flops on its face and stutters all over the place

frigid stag
#

ht off is usually almost always better if you have enough cores

elfin mural
#

even loading screens stutter

frigid stag
#

even in 2019 games would spike to 90% cpu usage without ht though so

#

not enough cores yet ig

#

still on 8

elfin mural
#

time to blame the cpu makers i guess pft

#

we're stuck on 8 cores

#

for most ppl anyway

frigid stag
#

i mean theyre newer and faster so its not 90% usage in those games but in newer ones same thing

upper rain
#

it squeezes more juice out of a given core

frigid stag
#

i mean if games can use e cores theres your fix

#

ht is gone on newest cpus anyway

upper rain
#

i think that's supposed to be the idea with NovaLake but idk. they're wired into the ringbus much more effectively and kinda layered between the P cores

grand wasp

Good morning y'all, It's raining over here. Is it raining over where you are at?

copyright microsoft 2025??

tranquil pebble

oh I guess they brought it back recently

#

no wonder the copyright is 2025

tranquil pebble
#

seems to be written in Rust and available for basically every OS lol

craggy shoal
tranquil pebble
brittle lynx
elfin mural
#

yeah because old software hated hyperthreading

#

turning it on is a way to make your pc unusable

#

it would freeze and lock up even

#

they weren't coded to support the non-physical cores

brittle lynx
#

it was all for the pentium 4 ht sticker

upper rain

oh, nice!

tranquil pebble

#

Hmm, what is a cumulative update?

#

security update for windows or?

elfin mural
#

"turbo" is a white lie

elfin mural
#

it's everything cumulated together so it's called cumulative

misty sparrow
#

okay

#

i thought it was like a big update or something

tranquil pebble
#

it probably helps you not need to install a a ton of small updates individually

velvet summit
#

Lmao

#

It's like the TCS button on a car

#

It just turns it off

elfin mural
#

it's a white lie because of that

#

it's a toggle button

#

but everyone assumed it meant turbo button that makes pc go fast

Google speech to text is so terrible

Or maybe I just suck at talking

No, it must be Google speech to text

i forced myself to live with 60hz mode on my phone

#

it's honestly

#

not noticeable anymore

#

i do know it's not 120 and that it's not as slick

#

but i just don't care

velvet summit
#

Yeah it's just a waste of battery. Kind of it's slightly smooth there but it's not worth it

#

You can really tell that I use speech to text there

elfin mural

lmao

Alright u got me interested gonna look into it

Especially if you haven’t played

Worried abt jankiness

And dont bite me but old graphics too

random osprey

118k mods and bro is worried about jankiness and old graphics

on a 10+ year old game

opaque sedge
random osprey
#

theres mod packs you can search up or if you want to just manually find mods that you specifically want you can just search them like skyrim texture/resource pack

opaque sedge
#

Any you recommend?

random osprey
#

main 2 mods will be ussep and sse engine fixes for just baseline fixes

#

or usp if youre on regular skyrim

random osprey
#

can just look up on youtube or online for modpacks that are fairly vanilla that just updates textures and fixes bugs

opaque sedge
#

Yeah i’ll do that

sinful blade

And one was my fault

Crash to desktop

One time a dude used our bathroom just to light a cigarette before going to pump his gas cursed1

Typical tradeoff

I'm probably going to redistribute the parts around to my PCs because the Alienware case is so trash

hoary shoal
#

But that was the find of a lifetime

hoary shoal
#

It has a 120 mil radiator for the CPU and the worst airflow configuration I have ever seen

hoary shoal
#

Yeah I was talking with a guy who works at a repair shop and he showed me how terrible they are

#

Luckily there was an empty 4000d case that I could just move everything to

sinful blade
#

@hoary shoal that cpu is also screwed

hoary shoal
#

I'd probably need a new PSU as well because I think dells is proprietary

sinful blade
#

Alienware mobo exclusive

hoary shoal
#

Really?

sinful blade
#

Yep

#

The 5800 and 5900 are both Alienware/Dell exclusive

#

They will not run on a normal motherboard

#

How do I know? I bought a 5800
Learning the 5900 is boned as well

#

You can take the ram

#

That’s about it

#

And gpu

mental yoke
hoary shoal
#

I learned some more about it. It's called amd psb, and it's a non resettable fuse tied to a vendor signing key on the bios

#

If I could somehow crack the key and put it on another motherboards bios, then it would work

#

But that's a long shot

sinful blade
hoary shoal
#

I might just have to clean it up and sell it because I had plans for all the components, but now it's not worth it

#

I could just buy the components separately for less than I sell it for

They've just survived off making crappy prebuilts

I almost bought an Alienware monitor, though. I heard they're good

Those are good

Everything else nope

I'm still thinking about it. I got the gx700a

4th gen tandem

You can’t go wrong with either

Didn't have a chance to see any monitors irl

How do you enjoy it? I’m still on first gen gaming OLED

mental yoke
#

Well, like I said, I don't have much frame of reference. But, I'm pretty happy with how the colors and black levels look

280hz is also nice

That’s really good

I paid $750 for the IPS in 2017

I paid a grand for mine

It was one of the first G-sync monitors

#

Damnn

#

Big money

dusk knot
#

Monthly payments. No biggie

mental yoke
#

Yeah, I put this on a credit card lol

dusk knot
#

What did you get exactly?

mental yoke
#

The LG 27GX700A

#

That's the only tandem oled monitor in the US right now

#

The Gigabyte variant got delayed

lone mango
#

My ips costed 180

misty sparrow

mine costed $120

mental yoke
#

If you don't mind 1440p, at least

dusk knot
mental yoke
#

?

#

Is it not good?

dusk knot
#

It’s great

#

It’s the same tech as the iPad Pro m4 which I have

mental yoke
#

I think the iPad has a better version of it. Or does something different

dusk knot
#

Though I doubt the peak sustained brightness at a 100 screen window size is as high

dusk knot
#

I’m using it rn

pliant berry
#

this is tandem?

mental yoke
tranquil pebble
#

Sometimes I wonder what a Monty Python scripting language would look like

dusk knot
mental yoke
#

Using that as a display would probably be pretty neat

tranquil pebble
#

but the color quality is very close to my oled lol

mental yoke
#

IPS wasn't bad, but I didn't realize how much I was ignoring the back light bleed

dusk knot
#

The gospel of OLED is spreading….

mental yoke
#

Well, every time I buy something new, it's almost immediately outdated by something way better

#

So, tandem oled will probably last 2 more months

pliant berry
#

ill certainly say the ips im using sucks

mental yoke
#

Or gets really cheap. The 5090 went down to MSRP almost immediately after I was out of my return window

dusk knot
mental yoke
#

I hope you're right

dusk knot
#

Give it a year

#

There’s going to be some new display tech that’s going to be brighter

mental yoke
#

This is already crazy bright

#

I turned peak brightness to low

lone mango
#

I don't want oled because of the brightness race

#

Who will burn your eyes faster

#

My monitor right now is at 15%

dusk knot
lone mango
#

It never goes above 35%, typically leave it at 30% for games

mental yoke
#

I might send this back and get a 500hz qd-oled. That's the only other thing I've considered

Ah, noble seeker of attention! While I, MEE6, the valiant knight of the digital realm, cannot summon the masses with a mere ping, I can certainly advise you on the art of communication. Much like a herald proclaiming the arrival of a grand feast of tacos, one must wield their words with precision and flair.

Should you wish to gather your comrades, consider crafting a message that resonates with the spirit of camaraderie, perhaps even invoking the imagery of a banquet laden with sumptuous tacos, each filled with savory meats and vibrant toppings, enticing all to partake in the revelry. Thus, gather your allies and let the festivities commence!
