Guys which one u recommend more asking for a friend

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.

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

sinful blade
velvet summit
#

You use wd40 before adding the lubricant

#

Or PB blaster

#

To clean off the oil oil/grease/rust/contamination

sinful blade
#

I have been using wd40 wrong my entire life

velvet summit
#

TBF they label it as a lubricant even though it really isn't

#

Wd40 is very useful but not for lubrication

#

@pliant berry forwardfacingpepe

nocturne flicker
#

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

was having to power walk my 14 mile walking route today

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

grand wasp
#

I'm around your age and I didn't know you could see "coupons" on mobile

onyx merlin
#

One major pro helps me keep my blood sugar under control

onyx merlin

I am type 1 Diabetic... and sitting around and not moving makes it harder to keep my blood sugar levels normal

Since you need that insulin?

onyx merlin

@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

copper fable
onyx merlin
#

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

copper fable
#

Are you meeting the requirements for a disability pension/allowance?

onyx merlin
#

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.

copper fable
#

That's good to hear

onyx merlin
#

luckily they were home and not on vacation like they had planned

copper fable
#

You surely won't sleep a few days

onyx merlin

or I would have been alone in the house and dead by time they came back

onyx merlin
#

@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.

copper fable
#

And I thought my situation is hard

onyx merlin
#

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.

copper fable
#

(It is hard it's just that I don't have these severe life threating conditions)

onyx merlin
#

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

copper fable
#

I like being sedated

#

Cause I have insomnia lol

onyx merlin
#

ICU is not fun.. it felt like a prison

#

and they kepted pricking me to take blood samples

copper fable
#

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

onyx merlin
#

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.

copper fable
#

Hope you will be cured somehow

onyx merlin
#

someday perhaps but thats a long way away.

copper fable
#

Maybe they will invent something that would make you body produce insulin again

onyx merlin
#

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

copper fable
#

Oh

#

But can you stop taking it after some point?

onyx merlin
#

nope

#

so its not really worth it

copper fable
#

Oh so you are getting rid of that but damaging your body in a different way

#

Not really damaging but making it weaker overall

onyx merlin
#

basically and even then you might need to replace the stem cells after a period of time

receivers have amps built in

pliant berry
#

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

gleaming sedge
#

unless you just plug the sub into that

pliant berry
#

it would go into a speaker output, unless for some reason it has rca? like this

gleaming sedge
gleaming sedge
pliant berry
#

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

gleaming sedge
#

The box that it is in?

pliant berry
#

ye the housing, usually look something like this

gleaming sedge
#

Mine came with one but smaller

pliant berry
#

that might help

gleaming sedge
#

So if I want surround I need a amp

grand wasp
#

Thank you TitanSlayr82

#

we don't have a keyboard channel do we

#

closest one we have is peripherals

pliant berry
#

for full surround then it would probably be best. most amps I know of under 100w are usually like 100-200usd

pliant berry
gleaming sedge
pliant berry
#

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

gleaming sedge

apparently that specific driver wants between 150w-300w at 4ohms.

Intel Core Ultra 200K PLUS Arrow Lake Refresh starts to leak You might have seen rumors about Intel’s upcoming refresh of desktop CPUs known as Arrow Lake. The supposed refresh is said to arrive around Q1 next year, but it has not been confirmed by the company. Earlier this week, we started receiving tips about […]

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

grand wasp

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

royal crow

Isn't the 12900k equivalent to the 14600k now

elfin mural

essentially

#

but when a 12400f can game just fine still

misty sparrow
elfin mural
#

was there a need for that?

misty sparrow
#

That’s what I heard

elfin mural
#

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

olive plaza
#

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

elfin mural
#

if we also don't shop for the new gpu every year or every time a new AAA games come out

olive plaza
#

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

elfin mural
#

requirements would've not probably been insane tbh

#

because then no one will realistically be able to run said games

olive plaza
grand wasp

0.0

#

HMMMMM

elfin mural

but i do agree, a modern cpu is plenty fast for all gpus your average joe can afford

grand wasp
#

takes notes

#

ok ok i see you

olive plaza
#

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

elfin mural
#

i would say even a 5800x3d is plenty fast lol

olive plaza
#

5800X3D is an outlier

elfin mural
#

and can continue to be used for years to come

olive plaza
#

if you currently own a 5800X3D you should sell it immediately

elfin mural
#

what gives?

#

isn't it a good performer?

olive plaza
#

they're going for $350-400 on the used market due to people wanting to max out their AM4 system

#

for just the CPU

elfin mural
#

oh

#

it's for the profit

olive plaza
#

you should sell it immediately and get AM5 now

elfin mural
#

yeah, that's a good point

olive plaza
#

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

elfin mural
#

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

olive plaza
#

I sold mine at the end of last year for $350

elfin mural
#

that's nuts

olive plaza
#

and they're slightly up from that now

elfin mural
#

and as they become more scarce

olive plaza
#

recently saw someone sell a 5700X3D at 300

elfin mural
#

i would assume that the price will skyrocket

olive plaza
#

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

gleaming sedge
olive plaza

I don't dictate market pricing I just observe and report

acoustic palm
#

Ew

#

🫩

olive plaza
#

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

craggy shoal
#

Maybe I misread that but I don't think a 5700X3D is coming close to a 12900K lol

olive plaza
#

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'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

frigid stag
#

is it really that much?

#

34 % seems a bit steep

olive plaza
#

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

royal crow
# olive plaza

Last time nvidia actually made their cards better over a single generation🥀

olive plaza
#

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

royal crow
#

They used to have the dream cards of every builder, and now all they focus on is Ai. Smh.

royal crow
olive plaza
#

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

#

3090TI it's all on the front side of the PCB, they used double-capacity chips, so it's all cooled properly

olive plaza
# sinful blade 5700xt

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

frigid stag
#

ah yeah that makes sense

olive plaza
#

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

frigid stag
#

3080s the way for 300 tbh

#

faster than 4070 and well cheaper

olive plaza
#

where

frigid stag
#

ebay usually or facebook

olive plaza
#

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

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

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

Yes. Also, some notes.

  1. fCLK no matter what you do on AM5 will ALWAYS be unsynced (unlinked).

  2. 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.

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
