probably far enough in the story if you didnt start any of the quests then
just ignore the phantom liberty quest and continue on
I’m just playing the game blind, wolf. I didn’t click anything
I’ll do that then….
Guys which one u recommend more asking for a friend
He is in jordan so the prices is kinda high
1300-1200 around that
All similar
gigabyet 💀
windows 11 pro “original”
5070 one ?
They are some local shops its normal for them to have weirdo spelling and description
Better off building.
Ik they suck but he only have that option
Very much better building
How
who still uses periods at the end of they sentences in 2025 😔
For example he couldnt get some specific brands and upgrade unless its 1-2 more expensive
16gb ddr5 performs very badly bandwidth limitation, all those motherboards are low quality, all bad power supplies, only a 500gb ssd is crazy and it'll be some crap one, not very good coolers, meh cases
And its slow ram on top of it being only 16gb
ah
I made him like a list 4 times for what specs should he get and which brands and stuff but he finds hard time finding them for good price also same goes for the brands
Im tired so i just came here to ask which one u think is better
Cause eh he will upgrade later
Me
A lot
@main loom tell him to get the 5070 one
I’m playin
but it just always sounds like they’re being so serious
@worn night also Jordan has some CRAZY import fees
So it’s very hard to get international products
like if you get
bro chill
Compared to
Bro chill.
Dang
You should see my conversations anywhere but here and with my wife
Outside of discord periods are great
But inside it just makes you look like a pish posh uptight fella
Source: I have a friend who’s choice was either a 1650S laptop internationally for a total(with import fees) of $800, or a local 3060 for $600
laptop better I’m guessing
it’ll take more than 200 for the rest of the pc
whoa bro
I once knew a clown who was using period at whatever he was typing
you gotta say something heinous to trigger Dino here
Nope i just said a kinda normal word
what’d you say
I cant type it lol
what’s the first letter
But anyways i was just laughing every time i was seeing him talking
Literally he was puting that dot in everything
He would even say im going to the bathroom.
Might have been using voice to text
Nah he was so stupid to know how to use it
Trust me

Yeah i can tell
A friend of mine got iphone 16 pro max from the country he went to vacation for
When he arrived back to jordan airport they charged him 500 saying you brining iphone to here ?
you need to pay it because its still not open
Both were laptop
So its not urs
Oh… 3060 then
Getting a pro max whatever is dumb
especially if it’s an iPhone
realistically you do not need what it offers besides the base model
Yeah, the price difference for local vs international in Jordan is wack
U mean 1650 Ti
Whats his budget
I believe it could be either
Ni
gg bro good game
1650 or 1650 Ti, there's no super version for mobile, only desktop
The 1650 S did not release on mobile
the last thing the zombie sees before squash squashes
Though if it was a 1650 there were 4 possible variants. And the ti had 2 variants
Yeah my b
I used to have a 1660S so I kinda default to that
@pastel mist hold off on posting there for a minute
Just post the picture, then edit the description
I have the build picture already posted. Would like to reply with the link to that post
the new gemini vibe coding is relaly
really cool
best one ive used so far
i hope todoist realizes how utterly replacable its product is
apps are gonna get hacked left and right
true
im just trying to make a todoist clone that hooks up with the api for canvas
which is our learning platform or whatever
i already have it working with ai and mcp but i dont think it needs to be that complicated
Waiter I need 10000 dating apps that will get hacked
Vibe coding:
vibe cooking: ☠️
It is certainly one way, but there are others. I do suspect that AI code probably increases the rate of such flaws significantly though.
this is just regular cooking tbf

Hi, everyone. Let me learn from you a lot.
are you real
I just got a Pro Max. L opinion tbh
its based off of people not really needing the features
bragging rights mostly
I like the bigger battery
just use phone less 
Also I've been on anything smaller for the longest time. The bigger screen is actually super fine
It's part of my job 💀
Hopefully not

Low effort account
Bro respond right now if you are a real dude
otherwise face ban
I need your help with my LinkedIn account.
pffft 💀
???

I hear VoiceoverPete when reading that. "KNIGHT053 IS IN TROUBLE AND HE NEEDS YOUR HELP"
I read everything in glados' voice now
This is the Newegg community Discord server. If you need help with your LinkedIn account, this isn't the place. Go to LinkedIn's customer support
(if you're real)
LinkedIn 😭 🙏 🥀
Is there any channel to discuss my problem on Discord?
Nah
Nobody comes to the Newegg Discord server specifically for a LinkedIn problem. And we have a bot problem. So you already look sus. Just go to LinkedIn's support lmao
What you look like rn: that one boomer who goes to Discount Tire, has a problem with whatever service you've had done to your car, then going to Amazon customer support to have the problem resolved
Sorry I don't mean to be rude, but I don't think I'm wrong lol
Even worse, you're acting like a community Discord server is customer support
I understand build help (just keep it in the right channel), but LinkedIn is a different issue 💀
Fr. The join date being yesterday/today is also sus 💀
Like making a Discord account to join a Discord server with topic A asking to assist with topic B lol

Hello Hedderfed
my mouse is arbitrarily double clicking on single clicks
You need a new mouse
sux
What mouse are you using?

some technet wireless mouse
Makes sense lol
Upgrade to something with optical switches

AMD is set to launch two X3D CPUs, claims leaker According to “chi11eddog”. So we finally have an update on the old rumor (if we can consider August old) about potential updates to the Ryzen 9000X3D family. As a reminder, the leaker previously claimed that AMD would launch two new SKUs with higher TDP and […]
bro
intel is already cooked STOP
😭
now Intel is crispy critters
intel are just microbes atp
So the 9850X3D would be 9900X3Ds with defective cores
Or atleast that is what my natural response is seeing as how AMD is really into maximizing silicon usage
9950X3D2
what a name
dual v-cache means the two ccds get the 3d cache
speeding up gaming
Should've been 9955X3D
and a lot of other things too
Scheduling will be easier for the OS as well
my dream ultimate laptop is the strix scar with 9955HX3D
ngl
but liquid metal is also kinda daunting
Imagine if AMD brough back the FX branding for high end chips (NOT Bulldozer, but like Athlon FX)
FX's reputation is already in the ruins
it'd be suicidal to use FX name again
but i can kinda see amd going like
Athlon 3, 5, 7, 9
Athlon is still used as AMD's version of Pentium except Pentium was discontinued
There was like, one or two Athlon cpus with Ryzen 7000
tbf the Pentium brand became synonymous with grossly underpowered CPU
nowhere near as bad as what Atom went through though lol
It was the 'high end' entry level processor line. Which is what Athlon is now
No more desktop releases though, just two mobile cpus like, 3 years ago
For Chromebooks and stuff
Hm....get new OLED....or get new Sennheiser headphones?
get 2TB USB stick from Walmart website
Headphones
Or buy me my monitor and know you did a good deed

I'm just poor
Which ones
Gigabyte MO27Q28G or Sennheiser HDB 630
Why those
Ones the best 280hz OLED on the market and the other the best closed backed audiophile headphones
Naah
lubricates, cleans and polishes? those things don't really go together

oil up
i dont think that light machine oil is that useful for cleaning or polishing
i normally use wd 40 for cleaning, and then i have some lithium grease or silicone grease to grease things up
and also light machine oil
I’ve found it works better than wd40 for making squeaking go away
Wd40 isn't a lubricant
You use wd40 before adding the lubricant
Or PB blaster
To clean off the oil oil/grease/rust/contamination
I have been using wd40 wrong my entire life
TBF they label it as a lubricant even though it really isn't
Wd40 is very useful but not for lubrication
brooo theyre back
much less than the first time at least
@random osprey
i found some more
in my routine name check
@pliant berry 
Pseudo lubricant
I meant to reply to the previous one but still. By getting rid of gunk that may cause stuff to get stuck, it tricks people into thinking it is an actual lubricant
Mostly because people don't understand oils and what the differences are
love how we all just subconsciously accept that women are fake
WD = water displacement, it never was meant to lubricate anything
They want you to use it as a lubricant so you'll keep buying it and using it to get rid of gunk without actually using lubricant

They mess up, they get to keep their jobs and maybe get promotions + more money

CHESTER HAS SEEN BETTER DAYS
The Alarm NEVER goes off😭 #iphone #alarm #phones
It happened to me today
I missed the career fair at my college
bruh
The one time I set the alarm early and it happens
Its been a while since it happened so I forgot about it, and the one time it does it is when there is something really important
Sometimes I snooze my alarm in my sleep and it’s a bad habit cos I wake up not even remembering hearing it
my alarm doesn't have a snooze but when I used to use my phone I would usually put it just out of my reach so I can't snooze it
my 3d printer spawned it in its sd card

That sucks..
perhaps hes having problems in real life or something ... ? or not in a good place at moment ?

Maybe, I won't try to speculate on his personal life
oh wow
had 4 full trays of mail and ADVO aka ad mail
What's advo mail?
was having to power walk my 14 mile walking route today
oh daaaaaaang
ADVO is basically boomer adds
you know grocery store coupons
and food advertisments
you can get all the coupons far easier by using your phone but many boomers refuse to do that
so every tuesday we got to deliver this junk mail
Boomers are weird.
they act smart sometimes... but really they dont like smartphones all that much
( I am 29)
like why would I want paper ads to see coupons ?
when I can just pull out my Iphone and get said coupons in a few button swipes
But ya being a mail carrier is ok job it has its downsides
and some pros
I'm around your age and I didn't know you could see "coupons" on mobile
One major pro helps me keep my blood sugar under control
I just see "ON SALE"
I am type 1 Diabetic... and sitting around and not moving makes it harder to keep my blood sugar levels normal
oh wow
and usually I need more insulin when not exercising.
You must be swol
my body makes no Insulin
W/ all the exercise
I’m glad my new job is going to be mostly me sitting
(Store manager at Verizon)
no offense but your job would be horrible for my health long term and short term... my days off where I just relax and stay indoors most of day is not good for my health like I said above
my insulin needs go way up and my blood sugar is hard to control on those kinds of days.
and I need to inject far more lol
so having a physical job is good for my health overall I guess
Yeah, it’s better for overall health period
I’m just a lazy person lol
But
speaking on that note well lots of my customers on my route are tech workers I think
cuz many are always at home 24/7
I see them every day either thru the windows or working outside in their open garage at a desk lol
I emailed Jeff Bezos he better answer my email lol
I need my account back 😩
I've spent hours on drafting an email with all the screenshot and details
100 screenshots
D:
I've heard they 99% of the time actually have human review and answer the mail so...
I hope for the best
ehh.. Most people these days suck at human interaction I noticed like in person anyways.
people too used to just texting
Yeah...
Wish I could actually talk to someone about it
Because my mental health has just gotten worse since I got that restriction
I used to be on amazon 24/7
Now it's gone at least for now
I just hope they won't be too lazy cause it's A LOT to read
always pisses me off when I have to deliver a big amazon box
Oh you are the delivery guy?
then I see the amazon driver pull up mext to my postal truck and runs out with a small little packet
like wtf I deliver mail primiarly
we should not be having huge parcels our trucks are not designed for that
the amazon people should be delivering the big bulky crap
and we should be delivering the small packets
@copper fable I am a United States Postal Mail Carrier
Wish you were from the escalation team then you could have helped me lol
its a job not that high pay.. I started september 2022
September 2022 in particular is a date that makes me mad
2023 I made almost 100K and 2024 right before ending up in hospital ICU for a week getting dignoised with type 1 diabetes had complications from hospital which took me ages to return to work
You know why... because starting that date they made the naturalization law in Portugal more stricer
was gone December 14th- Januray 28th
when I came back had a medical restriciton only do 8 hours now but my pay is far less now
getting like a measly 56K a year.
Oh
what the sigma
...
using browser discord is wild
I use browser discord
I LOVE SHEETZ
its my favorite version
thats why i said that
is it not common ?
but true it is faster than desktop sometimes
most use mobile app and pc app
I could use my phone as well but its so much harder to type fast
My mother earns 1/3 less than you
web browser I can type like speed ninja
Something like that
My pay is really way less when you factor in my medical expenses aka my Insulin and supplies including CGMS. and having to hit a deductible at start of each year
@onyx merlin But hey if you ever get in contact with like an amazon speciallist team member or just an high up in general let them know about my case please hahaha
What about a disability pension?
Since you need that insulin?
@copper fable will do..
@copper fable my body makes no Insulin if I dont do insulin injections I will die fairly fast
I did not get diabeties from being unhealthy type 1 is auto immune disease
its not a life style disease like type 2 diabetes mostly is
WAIT, so if you forget to take it or you oversleep you are DEAD??????
not instant dead but blood sugars will start to rise and I would in a few days go into DKA most likely aka Diabetic Ketoacid attack and then without treatment which involves insulin and lots of fluids
Are you meeting the requirements for a disability pension/allowance?
I would die.
like if my family had not taken me to hospital when I had my DKA attack back in december I likely would have died.
So you would still have a few days
That's good to hear
luckily they were home and not on vacation like they had planned
You surely won't sleep a few days
or I would have been alone in the house and dead by time they came back
Wow
Indeed
@copper fable ... when I had my DKA attack was out of it completely was not self aware at all not passed out but not aware.
Oh that's bad
And I thought my situation is hard
and apparently in ICU when they first brought me in they had to sedate me cuz I was resisting the doctors lolz
saying I wanted to go home.
(It is hard it's just that I don't have these severe life threating conditions)
I dont remember anything the day of December 14th 2024
which was a saturday other then getting out of bed and vommiting heavily
then nothing
Oh lol
I like being sedated
Cause I have insomnia lol
ICU is not fun.. it felt like a prison
and they kepted pricking me to take blood samples
Yeah that's not fun but the part of being sedated in general is fun to me
Cause it helps me sleep
And it's just a good feeling in general
Can be addictive though
oh believe me I hated every minute of it.. I tried to leave half way thru my week stay but they refused... and said If I left they would not write me any RX for Insulin.... plus I was not in that good of a physical state at time anyways.
That's understandable...
Hope you will be cured somehow
someday perhaps but thats a long way away.
Maybe they will invent something that would make you body produce insulin again
the nearest thing to a cure at moment is stem cell transplants
but it requires you to take immune supressent drugs
which weakens your immune system heavily and its crazy expensive
Oh so you are getting rid of that but damaging your body in a different way
Not really damaging but making it weaker overall
basically and even then you might need to replace the stem cells after a period of time
The body attacks the stem cells?
ya

I thought that it didn't, given how prevalent stem cell therapy is, unless it's only for this specific case
tree(3)
@dusk knot scam I think?
@lone mango not 100 percent sure to be honest but I dont want to take immune suppressant drugs nor do I have the money for the stem cell stuff not cheap.
What amp would I need for this and other things to run it off of 110v house plug?
Is this a sub or just a driver?
sub
Kicker 44CWCS124 CompC 12" 4-Ohm Subwoofer Car Audio
Mallo cups are better than Reecee’s pieces
oh it's a car speaker. any amp for a passive speaker should work. like a avr or a monoblock
so i just need to find a receiver that can power a sub i dont need a amp in-between the two?
receivers have amps built in
monoblocks are dedicated amps that go in between but they can be a bit overkill. if you already have some kind of receiver or headphone amp that also has speaker cable outputs it should work fine
mine might be to old it does not have spots to plug in a subs bare wire only a rca jack
unless you just plug the sub into that
it would go into a speaker output, unless for some reason it has rca? like this
Only thing that mentions a woofer
yeah that's because they don't really make passive woofers for home anymore, they all have built in amps. if you plugged the sub into a front or center it would work technically but you lose a channel if you were using it for a full surround setup
then there is also the fact that a car woofer would not have a casing
Casing?
The box that it is in?
ye the housing, usually look something like this
Mine came with one but smaller
that might help
So if I want surround I need a amp
Thank you TitanSlayr82
we don't have a keyboard channel do we
closest one we have is peripherals
for full surround then it would probably be best. most amps I know of under 100w are usually like 100-200usd
ye we use peripheral chat for that
Just any amp or is there ones specific to house 110v
well it will either have a 120v plug or it won't. the ones that don't are typically for cars. I can't say I have any specific reccs since I'm not familiar with any single channel amps and the ones I do know of as standouts are desktop style and probably way over budget like the topping la90
Ok thank you so much for the help. I've had this for a while now and got it for 30 dollars through a auction and been wanting to use it so bad
apparently that specific driver wants between 150w-300w at 4ohms.

Why ram prices are stupid high now 
🙁 I'd like to know too
you added a wifi card to a wifi motherboard
i found a Dayton Audio SPA300-D 300W Subwoofer Plate Amplifier for 99 not to far away
lol
Something something production cuts
I remember seeing an article that said DDR4 stopped being made for a while and prices rose so high, manufacturers started making them again.
But I should believe rumors I hear on the internet right XD
as far as i know only china actively produces ddr4
D:
It doesn't help that DDR6 is right around the corner meaning production will be split up further for a bit
as they still lack the tech to make ddr5
the best they could make is lpddr4x
wow ngl r/audiophile is a awful sub
I mean it looks fine, prices were way different back then, only weird thing is like the wifi card and gpu cpu combo
marketing victim build lol

Isn't the 12900k equivalent to the 14600k now
Probably AI
was there a need for that?
That’s what I heard
sometimes i think rationally and question why people have to spend like 500+ on a gpu every year or two
if we all reject that somehow and actually vote with our wallets, the market would recover
GPU requirements have kind of skyrocketed, but a lot of people don't realize how little CPU they need
like. if you don't have a 5090, you have zero reason to own a 9800X3D
zero
if we also don't shop for the new gpu every year or every time a new AAA games come out
CPUs are ahead of GPUs at this point. And your average person building a 9070XT system usually thinks, "I should get a 7800X3D or 9800X3D" when in reality that GPU doesn't get held back even if you're on a 5800X. it's midrange lol
requirements would've not probably been insane tbh
because then no one will realistically be able to run said games
oh really? hot dam
7800X3D and 9800X3D still have gas in the tank even with a 5090
but i do agree, a modern cpu is plenty fast for all gpus your average joe can afford
my wife's PC is a Ryzen 7 7700 non-X, with an RX 9070 non-XT
it's super efficient, and she gets 150+ FPS in Monster Hunter Wilds at 1440p
and Wilds is kind of higher on the requirement scale
i would say even a 5800x3d is plenty fast lol
5800X3D is an outlier
and can continue to be used for years to come
if you currently own a 5800X3D you should sell it immediately
they're going for $350-400 on the used market due to people wanting to max out their AM4 system
for just the CPU
you should sell it immediately and get AM5 now
yeah, that's a good point
just the CPU funds an entire AM5 combo at microcenter
DDR4 prices have also doubled in the past 3 months, if you have a 32GB RGB kit of DDR4 they're over $100 now used
imagine being able to resell your used cpu for the new retail price because it's so lucrative
i'd sell it asap as well
I sold mine at the end of last year for $350
that's nuts
and they're slightly up from that now
and as they become more scarce
recently saw someone sell a 5700X3D at 300
i would assume that the price will skyrocket
not just listed for that, actually sold
it's nuts
I bought my 5800X3D on launch day at my local micro center for its launch price of 449.99
resold 2.5 years later for 350
I consider that pretty great overall
i have to say though. if you want overkill right now, 7800X3D on the used market is only selling for 300
going off other info i probably just be better off saving and getting the almost 400 dollar klipsch
it was on Jawa and it sold
I don't dictate market pricing I just observe and report
why is that ew
People just really don't want to upgrade motherboards, and want to get close to 12900K performance out of their motherboard from 5 years ago, so they pay extra
this is not a new concept in any way. Kingston and Evergreen capitalized on this idea in the late 80s and 90s
that's basically what a 5700X3D/5800X3D is, it's bringing your old system to new levels of gaming performance. And now that they're discontinued, the market is adjusting to demand
Maybe I misread that but I don't think a 5700X3D is coming close to a 12900K lol
5800X3D trades blows with a 12900K in gaming. Exceeds it in some instances
Baldurs Gate is a prime example where 5800X3D exceeds 12900K in performance
5700X3D is 90% to 95%
(I just looked up a Hardware Unboxed video and you're actually right wow)
I'm actually surprised lol

Particularly Asians but there are a lot of Vietnamese people here in Texas (and therefore Vietnamese girls of course lol)
Real
At least compared to other Asians
Vietnamese coffee is definitely a favorite of mine
I only know this because I think Vietnamese is the third most spoken language in Texas or something lol
I have yet to have Vietnamese coffee. The amount of caffeine in that scares me 💀
In Texas?
Yes
What a wild fact
What a fun fact
(Lemme fact check that though)
Turns out I'm correct
https://acutrans.com/top-10-languages-of-texas/
Vietnamese: third-most spoken
Top language: animal
I don't like the name of that website at all
Spanish: 28.78%
Vietnamese: not even 1% 😭
Spanish stay winning
Tagalog being more than Hindi actually surprises me
not even 1%
No coffee tastes so much better
How accurate can the number be if it's all below 1% after English and Spanish
I feel like there's a lot of room for error there
I mean it's all surveyed somehow lol
time to upgrade
nah iits doing fine
if you're not on a 3D chip, and what you have works for you, then by all means keep using it
what do you have
12400 and 3070ti
ooh
i can lower my settings a bit
I'll DM you in a bit
i maxed it out at 144fps and it's hovering 130fps~? w/ some issues
Is 9950x3d2 out yet
It's not even official yet
Man 9900k is another one of those sell-now CPUs
Going for 200+ still
as in Ryzen 5 3600
I mean if it works for what she needs it for, no need to upgrade
I'm very much of the mindset: Upgrade when you have to, not when you want to. But also take opportunities when they present themselves, if your parts are worth a lot and you can get something newer for a wash, then do it
There's multiple examples
If you have an RTX 3090 TI right now as an example, those are sellign used for $1000+ because of their AI compute capabilities. If you don't need that, you can upgrade to an RTX 5080 basically for free
+34% gaming performance for a wash
I do not talk out of my ass
LMAO
Heck, you want better gaming performance than your 3090TI can provide, sell it for 1K and buy a 9070XT for $650. pocket the 350 bucks and gain 11%
the nvidia copium is real, people truly overestimate nvidia performance
Last time nvidia actually made their cards better over a single generation🥀
true, 30 to 40 series was a nice jump across the board
40 to 50 series is much less of a jump for everything below the 90 class
They used to have the dream cards of every builder, and now all they focus on is Ai. Smh.
Even the 90 tier is incremental, 5090 is legit just an Ada die with a Blackwell memory controller
nGreedAI
That's an interesting take
As far as AI compute is concerned, sure, a lot of the gains come from the memory controller, given how memory-intensive AI compute is
but it's a completely new architecture, it's not "legit just an Ada die" lmao
i was just a bit skeptical no copium 
She’d like to play oblivion remastered
there's a lot of people who think that way
yeah those cards havent moved in price for 3 years
i dont even think its just about the 24g you can get 3090s for like 4-500
what GPU is she using
5700xt
Reasoning behind this is because half the VRAM on a 3090 is on the backside of the PCB, so it quickly reaches thermal limits under continuous memory load such as AI compute, then all of the VRAM throttles and it becomes slow
3090TI it's all on the front side of the PCB, they used double-capacity chips, so it's all cooled properly
this is the primary thing holding her back, even recommended CPU is only 3600X, which is just a factory OC of an R5 3600. if you have a decent air cooler on her 3600 it will auto boost to 3600X levels
ah yeah that makes sense
recommended GPU officially is 2080 or 6800XT
if she's on a PCIe4.0 enabled motherboard (B550/X570) then you could consider going to an RX 9060 XT 16GB for her, that would be a large jump for about 350 bucks. Used RTX 4070's are in the mid 400's these days and would also be huge
where
ebay usually or facebook
I haven't seen anything at 300ish
last I checked, 3080's were still commanding 400+
but the market changes, maybe it went down in the last few days
lowest i can find in my quick search is $340 for a Dell OEM model
I wouldn't buy from eBay
that's just a personal preference
I checked Jawa and there's 10+ for sale, lowest is 340
yea facebook has better deals if you want the best price
So they have settled down a little in price
ebay is better if you want the guarantee you wont get scammed though unless u bring a pc to the meet up to test it
I've just wasted so much time with buying defective things on eBay
it really turned me off to ever buying PC stuff there
The funniest one I can think of - this didn't even involve defective stuff
I bought a kit of RAM to be shipped via USPS and the seller dropped it in a UPS dropbox
its pretty easy to get a refund there. its worse for sellers if anything. i got scammed out of 50 bucks cause someone “didnt receive” the item 
After about a week I was like hey are you gonna ship this ever
seller's like, wdym, I dropped it off at UPS the day after you bought it
and I was like oh, cool, that was a USPS label
another week of the seller going back and forth with UPS trying to get them to find it. He couldn't get anyone on the phone with UPS because they won't talk to you without a UPS tracking number
he refunded after 3-4 weeks
it showed up 4 months later
LOL
that happened to me with some fix-a-flat I ordered on Amazon
rate of failure and horror stories are high
I was going on a road trip from Ohio to Wisconsin last September
my EV doesn't have a spare tire so I ordered fix-a-flat 3 weeks before my trip
it showed up
in April
👀
some random pickup truck pulled in my driveway and put it on my porch
this is why i make sure its at least dispatched by amazon 
3rd party sellers are fine if its delivered by amazon
I have it oc’d
I really gotta get her an actual upgrade regardless
No RGB, 16GB of 3200mhz, bad vrms
B550m-k
not a terrible board
but nothing special
I wouldn't worry about the VRMs with an R5 3600, it's 65W
Does anyone have experience with bridge mode with xfinity connecting a eero extender?
If I wanted to upgrade her cpu
gotta spam slide cancel giving your pinkie arthritis while y-y-ing your gun at max sensitivity and doing 1940 flicks while t-bagging mid air with 100% accuracy with your meta setup gun just to shit on a guy thats holding objective and then body shoot him after all for a 5 second tiktok clip
tbh if you wanted to upgrade her CPU just go to AM5
she needs more ram, and if she's going to a better CPU you need a mobo that can do better with VRM capacity
like, at that point you go 7600/7600X/9600X
Should be able to do a cheap AM5 system with 32gb of Hynix for about $450-600 depending on if you use Refurb parts and go deal hunting.
first of all the 32GB G.Skill Flare X5 kits are abundant for $60-70 because they're constantly included with the microcenter bundles, and nobody wants them
they're not the most amazing timings but they are 6000 CL36 so at least you get 2000MHz infinity fabric out of the deal
are they hynix
I’m 4 hours from a mc
20 minutes for me, I'm very lucky
i understand nothing
of what you just said
TLDR he's gonna clip on you
Not Hynix, those are often Samsung ICs which are horrible for tuning. Occasionally Micron which is not as bad as samsung but not desirable at all.
I understand, but they're cheap lmao
additionally if you have 3D V-Cache your ram doesn't matter nearly as much
there used to be some 5600c46 hynix jedec ones but idk if they still have them
6000 loose timings vs 6400 tight timings still makes a big difference in FPS shooters and large sandbox games like Modded MC though.
Still available.
Can buy them for like $80 on Amazon.
even with X3D?
Yep.
X3D helps a ton but the cache is still finite.
Modded MC doesn't run well on anything so that part I get
Huh
I tested with Halo Infinite, Marvel Rivals (bloody loves ram), and War Thunder, Fortnite, and occasionally smaller indie games.
To me it's like. People spec out a MC server to run modded, and then they install more mods than the system can handle. So then they chase upgrades
rinse and repeat
I used modded mc as the benchmark for my pc
Fortnite has just been running horribly in general though.
With rt shaders
well yeah dual ccd
The game's become to reliant on fast ram and VRAM
Alpha are you grabbing the theoretical 9950X3D2
Other than gpu what should I take out of pc before I move it
Now to be clear, X3D does indeed reduce the impact fast ram has on the system. I am not denying that.
I need to move it about a km on a skateboard
Huh?
Are you talking about AMD's experimental dual v-cache ccd sample that was mentioned a while back or?
Ryzen 9 9950X3D2. Rumored by sources that are mostly accurate historically speaking
rumored to be coming right around the same time as Intel's refresh
3D cache on both CCDs, yes
If you aren't pulling my leg then no I have not heard of it till now.
Oh gotcha, different names for the same thing.
GN was calling it the 10950x3D as a place holder name.
Aw man
I bought a 9950x3d 4 months ago
9950X3D2 seems more likely as it's still Zen5, the other rumor is a refresh 9850X3D which has higher clocks
supposed to launch at the same time
nah that's not happening
The bullshit Moore's Law Is Dead was pandering is just the Radeon Pro R9700 32GB
I am very proud of the 2200 fCLK 😁
Im wondering if I should put some contact cleaner on my psu and ram connectors
Because every couple months I need to reseat them
huh?
I'm EXTREMELY surprised you're running unlinked
I am trying to figure out how it gets dirty so often.
And I just had to reseat ram cuz it was crashing
Me too
I use cable mod extensions but the ram is normal
so 6400MHz RAM with 2200 fCLK is faster than 2133 linked?
Zeiss Lens Wipes does a great job at cleaning contact points.
I have ifixit contact cleaner
That’s why you’d be a good 3rd party seller
200w tdp my ass
this is a troll right
anything but single ccd 
My 9950x3d pulls 300
Yes. Also, some notes.
-
fCLK no matter what you do on AM5 will ALWAYS be unsynced (unlinked).
-
The whole 2:3 ratio doesn't actually net you more performance. While yes, running 2:3 SOMETIMES gets you slightly better latency in the small single digits, the gain is easy overcome by just raising fCLK up a notch due to the increased bandwidth.
yeah tdp is misleading sometimes
Oh come on brother. You should know better than anybody TDP is not power draw
Next chip 400 watts
lmao ikr.
No conflating allowed
My 9950x3D pulls 289w in CR23.
TDP is not power draw
I am aware.
Still these chips are far more power hungry than most think.
But yeah, the Infinity Fabric on AM5 will permanently be unsynced no matter what you do, so just go for the highest stable to maximize bandwidth.
i wonder how many people bought it just cuz they thought ryzen 9 is better and didnt need a 2nd ccd 
the 9950x3D's X3D CCD does 5.55ghz compared to the 9800x3D's 5.25ghz.
So it technically is better.
Granted marginally for the price difference.
Now granted, take it with a grain of salt as it's just an X post but this guy also correctly predicted:
- All specs for 5700X3D and 5500X3D ahead of their launch
- 9600X and 9700X getting the option of a 105W TDP in bios ahead of it happening
