[worn wave]

Yes OOS immediately

[proud jackal]

[worn wave]

My page says "only 16 left!"

[proud jackal]

ping sainttyr with our dissatisfaction

[worn wave]

Probably 50 or less total

[icy ore]

man i was literally refreshing constantly and got it as soon as it popped up, but still sold out

[rancid juniper]

it got botted so fast

[idle nexus]

ya they really should've done shuffle for that

[rancid juniper]

lol

[icy ore]

yeah that's dumb

[rancid juniper]

2 minutes

[proud jackal]

@grand wasp WE ARE UNHAPPY

[icy ore]

it was literally seconds, like i said i was refreshing and hit buy now

womp womp

[grand wasp]

What's WRONG

D:

[idle nexus]

damn at least with physical doorbusters you had to have athletic ability or something

[grand wasp]

lol

[icy ore]

but dont worry guys we still have one great deal

[mystic ermine]

I clicked buy now right as it appeared with 7 left, it wouldn't even continue and load the buy page, screw that

[cinder onyx]

did anyone actually get one lol

[grand wasp]

https://tenor.com/view/gente-mucha-gente-estampida-gif-9958542

[rancid juniper]

so who buying the vacuum?

[icy ore]

only bots i guess

[idle nexus]

I think my sister has that vacuum. It is a good vacuum

[acoustic palm]

I have

Been blessed

[idle nexus]

actually that's a fantastic price lol

[grand wasp]

wat wat wat?

[acoustic palm]

I have been absolutely blessed

[rancid juniper]

cap

[cinder onyx]

newegg setup bots to buy them immediately

[idle nexus]

I'm okay with my Shark whatever vacuum tho

[rancid juniper]

quok bought the vacuum

[cinder onyx]

now ppl feel the need to buy something off newegg for a good dea;

[proud jackal]

NONE OF US GOT THE GPU

[grand wasp]

[acoustic palm]

A gt3 rs, a mk4 Supra and an m4 comp just passed me

[grand wasp]

LOL

[rancid juniper]

😳

[grand wasp]

bruh

[acoustic palm]

[grand wasp]

i know that feeling

"Daily" polls is up today for today

[acoustic palm]

Yeah

I’ve been blessed

[rancid juniper]

the doorbuster could've have a one per customer limit but lets be real, the people who set up bots have multiple accounts

☠️

[icy ore]

i need some good wireless headphones i almost kill myself daily with this wire man

[mystic ermine]

I don't even understand how you are supposed to get it when the stupid buy now button didn't even work.

[grand wasp]

we did not have a ton in stock for these door busters on purpose

even w/o bots, i think it would've been a similar experience

[rancid juniper]

They should've let people play uno for a chance to win

[proud jackal]

BLACK FRIDAY = RUINED

[idle nexus]

or given Newegg discord members early access

[grand wasp]

i think that's why we created the Newegg Shuffle, but that's not great either

[rancid juniper]

genius

[grand wasp]

D::::::::::::::::::::

[rancid juniper]

that'll bring more people in

[icy ore]

went to walmart earlier to get some stuff but it's all quite literally just a bunch of trash lol

[rancid juniper]

seems about right for walmart

[icy ore]

well I guess they had a 65" 4K vizio for like $228

but I dont really need a tv rn

[rancid juniper]

We have more wants than needs lately

[trail nest]

chat is this a good deal!?!?!?!?!?

[icy ore]

eh

i guess its about average

[idle nexus]

wait wait

[rancid juniper]

considering how doodoo the pc market is, i thought it was worse

[idle nexus]

they make Stainless Steel ones

[icy ore]

now we're talking

[trail nest]

do you think a steam machine can run AAA games?

[idle nexus]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F9WH3DWH?th=1

[rancid juniper]

yea but don't expect much from it for newer titles

especially UE5 games

[idle nexus]

$12 for 200 304 stainless zip ties

I have a set of those

[trail nest]

i'm debating between steam machine coming out 2026 and a brand new gaming pc. which is better?

[rancid juniper]

gaming pc

[proud jackal]

gaming pc

[idle nexus]

tbh it's hard to tell until there's a set price for Steam Machine

[acoustic palm]

Pc

Steam machine looks horrible

[rancid juniper]

steam machine will go for a steep price and im pretty sure there's a limited upgrade path for steam machine

[acoustic palm]

You’re only paying for it to be small

[idle nexus]

locking down the GPU & CPU on steam machine was a questionable decision imo but meh

[trail nest]

do you guys think steam machine can run the witcher 3 game?

[rancid juniper]

obv

[acoustic palm]

No

Wait

How intensive is it? I forget

[rancid juniper]

as long as RT is not enabled

Witcher 3 is not that intense

[acoustic palm]

Ah

Cause the specs are uh

Worse 7400f + worse 7600m

😭

[idle nexus]

ya the GPU is like 6600 lol

[trail nest]

witcher 3 struggled on my gtx 1050

[worn wave]

Wait how is it a worse 7600m?

[elfin mural]

rx 6600 equivalent perf is good enough for w3

[acoustic palm]

Around same specs as 7600m but less CU

[idle nexus]

isn't it same CUs as 6600?

[elfin mural]

to run at a good fps and graphics settings

[acoustic palm]

It’s rdna3 though

[worn wave]

I could've sworn it had the same CUs as 7600m

[acoustic palm]

Nope

4 less

7600m has 32

[elfin mural]

so it is worse than my laptop

to an extent

[acoustic palm]

What’s the cpu

[idle nexus]

it's a mystery [meh] GPU

[rancid juniper]

@trail nest https://www.newegg.com/msi-gaming-desktop-pc-geforce-rtx-5060-intel-core-i5-14400f-32gb-ddr5-2tb-ssd-codex-r2-b14nvl5-449us/p/N82E16883151690?Item=N82E16883151690

Treat yourself to something slightly better

has 32gb ram and 2TB ssd

[idle nexus]

some Ryzen 7xxx something

[elfin mural]

the cpu is a mystery rn on the steam machine

[acoustic palm]

900$ for a 5060…

[cinder onyx]

r there any high hz gaming monitors on sale lol

[acoustic palm]

7500xt

[acoustic palm]

Yes

Hold up

[rancid juniper]

its wild but i think this is probably one of the best options currently lmfao

[idle nexus]

Steam Machine has 8gb VRAM & 16gb of probably like 4800-5600mt/s

[acoustic palm]

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1899547-REG/asus_tuf_gaming_vg27aqm5a_27.html

I think this is on Amazon too for the same price

[trail nest]

steam machine don't come out until january 2026

[idle nexus]

if it's $500, it's amazing. If it's $700, it's meh. If it's >$750 it's not so good

[cinder onyx]

yes sirrr

[acoustic palm]

Oh yeah… it’s gonna either be low bandwidth or 8gb sticks

[worn wave]

No, 7600m has 28

[acoustic palm]

Does it?

[cinder onyx]

this one for the high hz gaming monitor right

[rancid juniper]

yes pay $700 for a cube

[worn wave]

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-rx-7600m.c4014

[acoustic palm]

Oh so it’s gonna be a 7600m

[worn wave]

7600 has 32 CUs

[acoustic palm]

Ya, look on Amazon for the same model I think it’s the same price

[idle nexus]

supposedly it'll be better than 70% of the systems on Steam hardware survey

which sounds nice but ehh

[acoustic palm]

They also lied

[rancid juniper]

im seeing so many prebuilt 5060 computers for around $800-900

lol

[acoustic palm]

It’s not running 4k 60fps

😭

[worn wave]

Likely a little bit better because of higher tdp andbetter cooling. Plus maybe some extra perf squeezed out from steamOS vs windows

[idle nexus]

they claim it will but FSRing super hard ig

[acoustic palm]

I mean 32gb of ram rn is like 250$

[rancid juniper]

FSR performance/ultra performance coming in clutch

[acoustic palm]

Not even

[rancid juniper]

visuals about to be wack with this one

😂

[acoustic palm]

Idk bout cooling

[idle nexus]

the thing is, if SteamOS comes out on that thing, it becomes more viable or not that thing systems no?

[cinder onyx]

i dont think they have one thats 300hz. that deal is insane on the other site u sent but its sold out

[acoustic palm]

Almost 200w in a 4L cube

[idle nexus]

isn't the CPU TDP like 30w? that's uh

[acoustic palm]

Yeah…

[rancid juniper]

that turbo will not be sustained

[cinder onyx]

theres this though https://www.amazon.com/SANSUI-Computer-FreeSync-Brightness-ErgoStand/dp/B0F4N8Q9WK/ref=sxbs_pa_sp_search_thematic_btf_sspa?content-id=amzn1.sym.d9f09fd0-26ef-41b4-b016-bbeaa016fc69%3Aamzn1.sym.d9f09fd0-26ef-41b4-b016-bbeaa016fc69&crid=2PMEGL9CYQSE6&cv_ct_cx=ASUS%2BTUF%2BGaming%2B27"%2B1440p%2BHDR%2B300%2BHz%2BGaming%2BMonitor&keywords=ASUS%2BTUF%2BGaming%2B27"%2B1440p%2BHDR%2B300%2BHz%2BGaming%2BMonitor&nsdOptOutParam=true&pd_rd_i=B0F4N8Q9WK&pd_rd_r=932e06af-e106-4f81-9ca4-668b15cadd1a&pd_rd_w=DtYj1&pd_rd_wg=25ebT&pf_rd_p=d9f09fd0-26ef-41b4-b016-bbeaa016fc69&pf_rd_r=QEWKXZ5AHDNW9R36S7ND&qid=1764350220&refinements=p_n_g-1002995409111%3A23595220011&rnid=23595186011&sbo=RZvfv%2F%2FHxDF%2BO5021pAnSA%3D%3D&sprefix=asus%2Btuf%2Bgaming%2B27%2B1440p%2Bhdr%2B300%2Bhz%2Bgaming%2Bmonitor%2Caps%2C152&sr=1-1-1bea8d9f-7730-4703-a6c3-7636b0f722a4-spons&aref=Lx51vQYFYZ&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9zZWFyY2hfdGhlbWF0aWNfYnRm&th=1

[acoustic palm]

Hm

[rancid juniper]

WHAT A FAT ONE

[cinder onyx]

wtf why the link so long

[worn wave]

Cooling wise I think the cube is a better form factor than a laptop

[idle nexus]

delete everything after the "?" in the URL & it still works but isn't massive lol

[acoustic palm]

Eh

[idle nexus]

theres this though https://www.amazon.com/SANSUI-Computer-FreeSync-Brightness-ErgoStand/dp/B0F4N8Q9WK/ref=sxbs_pa_sp_search_thematic_btf_sspa?

[rancid juniper]

130% SRGB, pushing it?

so which one is it

time to spin the wheel

[void pendant]

Anyone get the 5060 ti?

[rancid juniper]

no

[acoustic palm]

Why would someone get that abomination

50$ less than a decent 5070 price and it’s x8 pcie

[idle nexus]

cuz it was only $99 lol

Newegg doorbuster

[icy ore]

yup

[acoustic palm]

Oh

[idle nexus]

they sold all 3 of them in like 2 seconds tho

[cinder onyx]

its not worth it??

[acoustic palm]

https://www.newegg.com/acer-xv270u-z1bmiiprx-27-qhd-270-hz-nitro-ips-black/p/N82E16824011516 tbh go for this

[cinder onyx]

yeah me and my friend camped it and immediately they were all gone

[acoustic palm]

Well

It’s only 3 of em and there’s a LOT of ppl trying to get it

It’s basically a lottery

[idle nexus]

for 5060ti, you'd ideally want the 16gb version. 8gb vram is okay for $99 but best to avoid

[acoustic palm]

For 99$ it’s a steal

[cinder onyx]

omg its beautiful

thank you

[acoustic palm]

But any other time it’s practically ewaste

[wooden marten]

If I want to format my ssd to use for my next build but its the only one in the pc can I buy a cheap drive download windows on that one and then format through there

[heady plinth]

It was sold out before the page loaded for me.

[acoustic palm]

Mhm

[wooden marten]

or is that gonna cause issues

[idle nexus]

you can format it during windows install

[heady plinth]

They should have a captcha on stuff like that.

[acoustic palm]

Someone probably wrote a script to get all 3

It is what it is

[rancid juniper]

how to win wild deals on the internet

• Buy/make bots
• Have fast pc
• Have fast internet

BIG WIN

[worn wave]

There were at least 16

[acoustic palm]

Then to get all 16

[idle nexus]

some BIOS have "Secure Erase" that you can delete everything on it there

[wooden marten]

does gigabyte?

[idle nexus]

offhand I'm not sure but even if it doesn't, you can delete it using the Advanced option in windows setup

[tranquil pebble]

lol

[rancid juniper]

P3 car

[void pendant]

why 16

[tranquil pebble]

aigis car

[heady plinth]

Are you using it as your new boot drive again? The windows installer will format it anyway.

[worn wave]

My page said "only 16 left" (still didn't get one but at some point there were 16 remaining)

[icy ore]

realistically prob 20 were sp;d

sold

[heady plinth]

The laptop one had at least 20.

[acoustic palm]

And all were to bots or scripts lmao

[void pendant]

ah I see

[rancid juniper]

that HAS to look horrible bruh

why we still selling 720p tv

[dusk knot]

Ew

[worn night]

Heck nah

[heady plinth]

If you're watching tv it's not like it's beind broadcast higher than 720p.

[icy ore]

you couldnt pay me to take that

[worn night]

32 inch 720p

Bro you can see the pixels on 1080p 24 inch how bad is that gonna be

[worn wave]

And it's still $70

[rancid juniper]

an uninformed old head about to take this

[heady plinth]

That depends on viewing distance too. You're probably not sitting 2 feet from a tv.

[idle nexus]

for $75 I kinda wanna get this & build a PC to mount on the wall cuz it has VESA https://thermaltakeusa.com/collections/sale/products/core-p3-se-ca-1g4-00m1wn-02

acrylic window? wth nvm

[icy ore]

just blow your own glass and use that

acrylic parts on pcs in 2025

smh

[heady plinth]

Broadcast tv channels in the US are 480i, hd channels are 720. If you're watching on a 4k tv it's upscaling or even just stretching.

[rancid juniper]

then you got these, also roku TVs are ass

[grand wasp]

TV's are so freaking cheap now

D:

[idle nexus]

Roku's business model is just spy on you & collect data

[grand wasp]

o yea

i remember that

[idle nexus]

I wouldn't use a free Roku TV

[rancid juniper]

indeed, you can get 4k easy

and somehow i don't have one in my house

🗿

[worn wave]

Right, to get the same PPD on that shit tv you'd be sitting 4.5ft away. But at that distance it's gonna look tiny

[tranquil pebble]

getting The Matrix on UHD blu ray soon. It will be the first time watching a movie in 4k.

[idle nexus]

ah I guess you weren't sailing the high seas many years ago

[icy ore]

i want them to rerelease interstellar in imax

[tranquil pebble]

More like not watching movies at all

[idle nexus]

lol I never watch movies anymore

dunno why but it feels like too much of a commitment

[heady plinth]

I use a 43 in my living room. Next one will probably be a ~55. The 75 was awful.

[icy ore]

i dont do shows (except some anime) for that reason

[rancid juniper]

75 is nuts

[idle nexus]

my 75" is the LG that was the first one under $1k or something & it's alright ig

compared to my gf's 77" OLED tho, it's a toy

[heady plinth]

It felt really blurry. The only thing I watch on tv is live sports.

[rancid juniper]

Same, and i kinda felt weird that i don't watch american shows/cartoons anymore

😩

[icy ore]

except for invincible idk the last american cartoon i watched

[heady plinth]

Or if I get roped into watching british cupcake competitions.

[idle nexus]

lol shows is long term commitment & movies is like... damn I dunno if I wanna sit here for like 2 hours

[rancid juniper]

I wanna get 4k because i need to see that resolution personally

last i've seen a 4k screen was at a mall

[icy ore]

youtube compression is perfect for your 4k viewing displeaure

[rancid juniper]

oof

[idle nexus]

I wonder if you can install apps on this toaster

[rancid juniper]

why

[icy ore]

can it run doom

[idle nexus]

lmao

[rancid juniper]

this is getting toasty

[median kelp]

Okay these are actually really useful inside of restaurants as the menu boards

[acoustic palm]

Easily

[rancid juniper]

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[acoustic palm]

3 pixels per word

[idle nexus]

next firmware update, it would probably show ads

[rancid juniper]

no wonder why its so hard to see the menus

[acoustic palm]

Yeah

[rancid juniper]

nah i need glasses

[idle nexus]

just get commercial display

[median kelp]

Also they have a 43" 4K TV for $110 at best buy

[acoustic palm]

I need glasses too

But like

That won’t even help me

[rancid juniper]

true

[icy ore]

bro im blind asf

[idle nexus]

commercial display designed for you to beat the heck out of it

[icy ore]

my left eye is like -7.50+astigmatism

[median kelp]

They show menu boards via USB static image so we don't connect them to Internet for security reasons

[heady plinth]

I have a 4k 28" monitor, for the stuff where you actually get a 4k input the clarity is nice.

[acoustic palm]

I got 20/60 vision + astigmatism + snow vision

[rancid juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/linus-linus-tech-tips-kick-tv-linus-kicking-a-tv-gif-18374592

I have a 43" Samsung Commercial display & it has like some built in this I never used for displaying various file formats iirc

[dense locust]

Package is in the next city over what are the chances the delivery date for today is accurate?

[icy ore]

its still gotta go over to the next state and then take a trip via ship to the bottom of the ocean before it arrives at your place so roughly 0.01%

[idle nexus]

640gb is a lot of Read-Only Memory

[idle nexus]

haven't gone that far with mine lmao

[rancid juniper]

yet

its only a matter of time

[idle nexus]

ooo I got one of these for work and I <3 it

[worn night]

https://c.org/rRbQHYtBn2

[proud jackal]

link

[idle nexus]

I'm not sure if that would pass constitutional scrutiny

[dense locust]

I thinking that that wasn’t $929

[lavish stag]

i got some nonworking 32gb ddr4 ram, is it worth selling for pa rts lol

[idle nexus]

I mean arguably that's restricting free speech which would mean strict scrutiny & like nothing gets past that lol

[rancid juniper]

USPS WHAT?

[lavish stag]

isn't brooklyn in 2 time zones

[proud jackal]

time travel

[lavish stag]

yes

[idle nexus]

don't you read form the bottom up?

since the top line is still gray?

[rancid juniper]

yes it is from bottom to top

[lavish stag]

now the better questions is what did you buy....

[idle nexus]

oh right

it was out for delivery to the post office lmao

[rancid juniper]

nah this is a package i sent to someone

[lavish stag]

ah

[rancid juniper]

basically, im so confused

[idle nexus]

they forgot to deliver it or something

[rancid juniper]

likely since this week was kinda hectic

holidays

[idle nexus]

your tax dollars at work

[rancid juniper]

yours too bruh

[idle nexus]

our tax dollars at work

[rancid juniper]

😔

OUR!?!?!?!?

[idle nexus]

well we pay them to the same place so

[rancid juniper]

real

[idle nexus]

& they technically belong to the people (ya right)

[rancid juniper]

you can never escape the IRS

they will find you

wring your money dry

[idle nexus]

yup. don't heck with those heckers

this 14600K is acting kinda derp POSTing 8k

I'm barely paying attention tho cuz I have to run it on OBS since I don't have my other monitors

but those days end soon dammit

[wooden marten]

theres nothing stored on ram permanently right?

[rancid juniper]

correct

[wooden marten]

like I can reuse ram for a new build without any formatting or setup

[dense locust]

Yes as long as it’s the right ddr

[velvet summit]

literally impossible

at least without power

well

[idle nexus]

it's volitile memory so completely clears once power is off

[dense locust]

That’s how old game carts worked

[velvet summit]

actually technically there are some things permanantly stored on it

mainly xmp profiles and such

[idle nexus]

iirc the act of reading it clears it too no?

[unreal trail]

amazon likes to do a little trolling

[velvet summit]

other than that no, nothing will be stored on it

[wooden marten]

I can reset in bios tho

[velvet summit]

the profile you pick is stored in the mobo

and whatever speed

[rancid juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/pee-gif-21375990

[velvet summit]

the info that is permanantly stored on ram is read only

[dusk knot]

i thought you siad you were in florida?

[dense locust]

The package just went back to yesterday real quick

[rancid juniper]

This package is being sent

im not the reciever here heh

[royal crow]

https://c.org/wwXHCZFZ2F guys

[wooden marten]

So its fine for me to reuse it for a new motherboard?

[velvet summit]

yes

[rancid juniper]

What has change.org ever done?

[idle nexus]

as long as it fits in the slot, you're good

[velvet summit]

change.org has only worked like twice on god

[rancid juniper]

like petitions in the U.S means nothing

[dusk knot]

hmmm

[idle nexus]

iirc nothing

[rancid juniper]

fr bruh

[velvet summit]

i dont think change.org has ever worked for any legislative things, but it has worked on like

other stuff

[idle nexus]

sometimes it makes media mention it but no one listens to them anymore anyway

[dusk knot]

I agree

theres too many dumb people online with access to AI

[royal crow]

anything helps man

[idle nexus]

I don't think the government has the authority to restrict posts on social media sites

[velvet summit]

i mean

some governments can at least

[rancid juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-try-not-to-laugh-gif-7682731162751353849

[dense locust]

Screw you shipping estimates

[idle nexus]

maybe like to off someone or start a rebellion but otherwise

[velvet summit]

the US probably cant openly restrict it but they likely have the ability to restrict thing behind the scenes

[idle nexus]

I mean, I thought those were the rules but then COVID misinformation happened so who knows

well even then, they pressured social media sites to do it on their own because they knew they didn't have the authority technically

but this is flirting with political talk even tho I only meant to mention it in regard to the law so I'll stop

[royal crow]

yk

if i ever get to be president

[gleaming sedge]

Man I already know working at a dollar general is going to suck

[royal crow]

there's no way I'm letting all the big tech companies get away with their crap anymore

[idle nexus]

the data collection is what infuriates me lol

muh privacy dammit

[rancid juniper]

privacy is long gone

[royal crow]

also if ai is still around by then imma figure out some way to tax their coolant 600%

[royal crow]

oh yea that too

only fbi would collect data

or would be allowed to

[worn night]

5080 for 5070ti price is nice

[rancid juniper]

as you post this, they're probably sold already

[dusk knot]

$800

Nice. Now watch it sell out in .0002 seconds

[worn night]

What are yalls thoughts on this 6700xt being sold for parts: "When is connected the lights turn on it wont give any image and the fans dont spin, and after 3 minutes it gets hot"

[velvet summit]

only in games that have bad lighting

https://youtu.be/0l_GFQvISEM

[rancid juniper]

COOKED

its not sold out

[void pendant]

how is it slightly better than the steam machine? Doesn't the 8400f suck?

[sinful blade]

Bottom is still available

Top two sold

[rancid juniper]

It may "suck" but the cpu can be replaced

same with ram and probably the gpu if the psu is good enough

though because its HP, things are proprietary

[cinder onyx]

any goatedddd tech deals you guys know about?

[rancid juniper]

#tech-deals

[cinder onyx]

thanksss

[misty sparrow]

Can’t that socket go up to only 9th gen intel CPUs though

You’d probably have to replace the entire motherboard to get something more modern

[rancid juniper]

This is am5

[misty sparrow]

Oh

My dumb brain read Intel

[rancid juniper]

lol u gud

[misty sparrow]

This one’s actually a steal don’t know if HP does proprietary things though

[sinful blade]

They do

A lot

Source; I know

[misty sparrow]

Like what? Motherboards a given but what else

[rancid juniper]

HP, DELL, Lenovo they all proprietary

[iron lynx]

anyone got this problem when checking out?

[misty sparrow]

Dell was a hellhole when I got one of their prebuilts

[iron lynx]

i was trying to ad a new credit card

[misty sparrow]

I’m hoping that newer prebuilts that aren’t Dell’s don’t have some dumb shit like not being able to upgrade the CPU even though the motherboard could support it, but rather because they didn’t make the BIOS update required to support it

[rancid juniper]

facts

[sinful blade]

Motherboards, psus, same as Dell

[misty sparrow]

Huh

I wonder if Lenovo does proprietary PSUs too

Proprietary PSUs don’t make sense at all to me

[acoustic palm]

HPs newest 45L pc doesn’t have proprietary

I have zach and zack now

[dusk knot]

RICH

[worn night]

It keeps growing

[forest pine]

does anybody has an idea about how long the ram thing might go on for

[acoustic palm]

2 more minutes to 2 more years

[heady plinth]

How long until the ai bubble bursts?

[forest pine]

I found a 2×24GB 6000 cl30 kit for $200. I feel like that's too much, but with how ram prices are right now, maybe it's actually a decent deal. Not sure if I should buy it now or wait 6 months

[acoustic palm]

That’s 40$ less than most 32gb kits

😭

And better expo timing

[forest pine]

its used tho

i didnt mention that

[acoustic palm]

Yeah

That was like… implied with the current market

Get it if you can

[forest pine]

alr ty for the advice

[olive plaza]

That's an incredibly good deal

Particularly with that speed and those timings

If you didn't see, Micro Center is running a sale on RAM for black Friday.
The G.Skill kits they used to include in their motherboard and CPU combos, which are 2x16GB DDR5-6000 CL36, were 209.99 for the first part of the week
They are now "on sale" for 249.99

200 for 2x24 and having good speed and timings is a deal, used or not

[dusk knot]

so what did everyone buy for international consumer day?

[acoustic palm]

Nothing

I might ask for new headphones for Christmas

What ones do I ask for

[dusk knot]

sennheiser hd 630

[acoustic palm]

Is this supposed to be a joke

Also I want 24 bit 192khz

Wireless or not doesn’t matter

[acoustic palm]

I always go to my local cable supplier for them
Along side a bunch of other cables

My college is very close to infinitecables

Though idk what your options would be

[lone mango]

I have no clue

[lone mango]

[velvet summit]

Cycles will most likely need more vram than eevee

[royal crow]

Yeah it tanks the vram hit fine, it just refuses to even try loading anything over 16K

[velvet summit]

Whether or not 16gb VRAM is enough for 16k textures idk

Hmm

man i wanna make a build with the 7900X

cause

Core ultra is a dead platform (LGAA 1851)

for like

work stuff

also

WHERE IS THE 9700F

[remote geode]

TIL

Adreno Graphics used by Qualcomm was co-developed with ATI during its early days

no wonder why Adreno and Adrenalin sounds so similar

[craggy shoal]

Go for it. I have that CPU and I know that I won't have to upgrade for a few years

[proud jackal]

9950x3d2 where

[craggy shoal]

I swear I always hear about some new kind of issue with X3D CPUs lol

At some point, they're going to catch on fire

https://tenor.com/bH9RF.gif

[remote geode]

you know

what if intel added eDRAM to their CPUs like what they did to that one CPU back in Haswell days

[elfin mural]

it'd be very expensive

intel is planning to release stuff with big l3 cache anyway tho

following right behind amd

[frigid stag]

if its not monolithic, 🗑️

[craggy shoal]

L1-L3 cache is way faster than DRAM, too

[ashen swan]

yeah 8000 dollars issue is i alr have the CPU

so it would be a issue lmao

[tranquil pebble]

if L3 was slower than RAM that would be a problem lol

[ashen swan]

cause i have no more. money

for CPU

i'm dumpinng it for aesthtics

[craggy shoal]

Don't pay for aesthetics for your first PC lmao

[ashen swan]

hmm i would make wiser choices but na

it's white

[tranquil pebble]

aesthtics ahould always be bottom priority

[ashen swan]

in my all white room

[craggy shoal]

Sure, but just don't flood it with RGB

Or if you want RGB, just get some AsiaHorse unifans and you'll be fine. They have reverse-bladed options as well

[ashen swan]

EXACTLY

THAT'S MY BULD

NO RGB

[craggy shoal]

I think you can get a pack of 3 for like $30-$40 (in the US). Not sure where you're located though

[tranquil pebble]

RGB can look nice if it is done well... problem is most people don't do it well

and too much can get ugly fast

[ashen swan]

It's a fractual epoch and 9070XT spectural white build

fun fact

the cheapest 9070XT is

RGB Puke

yayayayay

1. Okay so I guess you're actually not overspending lol
2. Please type full sentences in a single message lmao

Hot take: RGB fans behind mesh can look good

to adress number 2 yes i do have a issue with that idk why when i can type propely with that

[ashen swan]

that is........ TRUE

[elfin mural]

to me it looks pixelated behind the mesh xD

[craggy shoal]

why would you go and do that? youre losing out on 20% performance by turning off rgb

Idk how to blot out audio from vids atm

Yeah couldn’t figure it out

[dusk knot]

Skill issue

[opaque sedge]

@rancid juniper had to compress the hell out of it so excuse the quality

[oak gale]

since i couldn't figure out how to solder i fixed my old headphone's aux by wrapping the wires around the rings of the aux cable

then covering it with double sided tape

then taping up the whole thing with normal tape

and its firmer than i thought

Now i have 2 headphones , am such an audiophile

👀

[rancid juniper]

Bro became one punch man in the end

[rancid juniper]

DiY level up

[velvet summit]

wire wrapping instead of soldering is very common on stuff like spacecraft

though not in the way you do it

crimps and wire wrap are the preferred options

[acoustic palm]

What headphones do I ask for for Christmas

[dense locust]

AB-1266 Phi TC

[acoustic palm]

Can that run hi res lossless

That’s 24 bit 192khz

[dense locust]

It’ll run you into debt

[acoustic palm]

I’m asking for it for Christmas

[dense locust]

It’ll run your family into debt

[acoustic palm]

I

I should’ve

I should’ve searched the whole name

I just looked up AB 1266

That was a mistake

[dense locust]

You didn’t even say your budget

[acoustic palm]

Idk

I’m asking for some clothes too

So like… 200?

[dense locust]

What is a price your family would spend

[acoustic palm]

200 ig

[dense locust]

Wired or wireless?

[acoustic palm]

Uh

Either is fine

But I just really want that 24 bit 192khz

Wireless preferred ig

[sinful blade]

Sennheiser usually has some decent high quality

@elfin mural

[acoustic palm]

But like idk the models and stuff

[elfin mural]

wireless? hmm

[acoustic palm]

Or wired

But pref wireless

And also 192khz 24bit since hi res lossless

[dense locust]

Getting high quality audio with wireless is hard

[acoustic palm]

Doesn’t need to be wireless

Honestly best case would be it’s both

Like it can be wired for higher quality but also wireless Yknow

[dusk knot]

You won't be able to hear that 192khz. If you want the best sounding wireless headphones, I already gave it to you..

[acoustic palm]

I tried the sound and it was better

Also the ones you gave me were sold out

[dusk knot]

What do you mean tried?

[acoustic palm]

I tried some headphones that supported it and it was like a lot better

[dusk knot]

Sadly. I'm waiting on them. There's nothing better

[acoustic palm]

How much are they usually

[dusk knot]

For closed back headphones

[dusk knot]

$500

[acoustic palm]

[elfin mural]

i'd check rtings in headphone ranking

[acoustic palm]

Can we do like

Sub 250

I also want new clothes

[dusk knot]

There's no need. They're the best for sound

And can be customized

[elfin mural]

it's helpful to fit specific needs here

sub 250 price tag

[acoustic palm]

What about xm4

[dusk knot]

Oh

[dusk knot]

I didn't see that

[dusk knot]

It's 200 dollars

Better sound than the xm4

[acoustic palm]

Rtings says otheriwse

[dusk knot]

Bruh. Well I have them and they're incredible

[acoustic palm]

And the xm4 are 160 rn

[dusk knot]

Oh, and I've got to mention that the momentum has up to 60 hours of battery life

[dusk knot]

Trust me, Sennheiser does a better job than what Sony can do

One sec....

[acoustic palm]

Gang

RTINGS says the literal opposite

Only difference is the mic which I don’t care abt

[dusk knot]

That's just RTring, but when you take the average word of mouth from audiophile/ audio engineers from YouTube and other websites, the momentum 4 takes the win.

[acoustic palm]

So I’m supposed to believe word of mouth over extensive testing

[dusk knot]

Average as in the majority

Not people that just have subpar knowledge

[acoustic palm]

But I don’t think that’s better than extensive testing

[elfin mural]

i bought an arctis 1 because of rtings

and i gotta say the sound out of what i got is good

but at the end of the day, sound is kinda subjective

every place tests them differently

rtings have a lot of data so it is cross comparable

[dusk knot]

It's your money...but overall "they Both have a consumer-friendly sound signature with hyped bass and treble, suitable for modern genres. The Momentum 4 has superior bass response, especially in the sub-bass, and offers clearer sound with more resolution in the treble, leading to more natural vocals and instruments . It also features a bigger and more immersive soundstage"

[acoustic palm]

I think I’d rather the xm4 tbh

[dusk knot]

It really is....but on paper, the M4 is better

Which headphone

[acoustic palm]

[dusk knot]

[nocturne flicker]

[dusk knot]

The headphone has a built-in DAC. There's no need for one

[acoustic palm]

For USBc to headphone jack?

[dusk knot]

[acoustic palm]

Oh what

So I can just use a usbc cable?

[dusk knot]

[pliant berry]

oh

[dusk knot]

[acoustic palm]

Tbh

Either would sound good but these look better

And it’s not my money so

[pliant berry]

yeah some of those wireless headphones just use the built in dac even using the aux cords

[dusk knot]

the M4 has better sound

[acoustic palm]

Sound

Mm

Sound

[dusk knot]

The #1 reason to buy them

[pliant berry]

ehh sales in general are meh

[dusk knot]

And and....don't use them when you're sweaty or you could kill them.

[acoustic palm]

Uh

Oh

Uh

[pliant berry]

personally I just have a list of items that I am going to buy eventually anyway. and if one goes on even a small sale then why not

[acoustic palm]

That’s an issue

I have sweat issues

[dusk knot]

Oh nos

[acoustic palm]

It’ll be fine right

[dusk knot]

Just avoid that when you're in a hot environment

[acoustic palm]

It’s rly not my ears

Mainly everything but my head

[dusk knot]

Ok.

But you wouldn't want all of that dripping into your headphones

[acoustic palm]

[dusk knot]

[acoustic palm]

[dusk knot]

[acoustic palm]
