[dusk knot]

There is a 2 year warranty tho

[lone mango]

@royal grotto Dude holy shit it is my power supply making all of that noise

[royal grotto]

Bomb

[lone mango]

I mean the graphics card is noisy too but the psu is buzzing like crazy

Nah the sf750 is not a bomb, I just got unlucky

[lone mango]

I realized it was the unit because there was buzzing at idle sometimes

And with the extra load from the card the sound profile sounded similar

So I put my head closer and the psu side is louder than the gpu side

Nutty

[royal grotto]

Why did you overspend on an X870

[ashen swan]

a B850 aorus elite ice is 7999
a X870 steel legend is 6999

ntd

[royal grotto]

Ah wierd economies

[ashen swan]

Asrock doing asrock shit

[ashen swan]

asrock is just priced like that lmao

[royal grotto]

AssRock

[ashen swan]

na

[royal grotto]

Every ASRock mobo I've had has sucked
Every Asrock GPU I've had has died right after warranty

[dusk knot]

Very nice. How much ram?

[lone mango]

I have used 2 asrock boards with no problems

My current boots pretty fast

[ashen swan]

i bought it before the 2nd spike happend 32gbs for 5000

it's now 8100 NTD

[royal grotto]

I've tried 6
All had issues out the box
Be it coming with a bad ram slot brand new, TWICE even after RMA
Extremely slow boots
half the nvme ports not working
Latest bios causing bluescreens

[nocturne flicker]

I've used two Asrock boards with no complaints. The bios on both are a bit bleh though tbh

ASUS Tuf line on the other hand

[ashen swan]

oh hell na

not bloat ware simulator

[nocturne flicker]

You don't need to use Armory Crate, you can replace it easily enough with freeware or just skip certain things

[ashen swan]

honestly idc actally

[acoustic palm]

i like my rog bios

[ashen swan]

good mobo

is good

[nocturne flicker]

ASUS has a decent bios for most of their normal diy boards. The boards themselves though for the TUF line are suspect

[ashen swan]

i honestly deafult to the Tomahawk from msi lmao

i've only used one bios before so :p not the best judge tbh

[nocturne flicker]

I've used multiple boards ranging from OEM greens, laptops with their pepeg boards, Z97, 990FX and X570s. The only one that had significant issues was the TUF X570 Plus

[royal grotto]

I've loved all my asus mobos

[sinful blade]

My ASROCK gpu is great
My gigabyte motherboards and GPU’s have been good
Along with my Dell 5700xt(even thought it got heat issues)

[nocturne flicker]

Actually I take it back. I had one HP laptop fry its own mobo while being used laying on a bed

[ashen swan]

asrock is kinda hit a miss sometimes

XFX Sapphire and powercolor still stand as the best board partners for AMD

[lone mango]

That's crazy

[sinful blade]

Bios causing blue screens happens no matter what manufacturer

But massively unlucky with the rest

[tranquil pebble]

Well, my ISP just went down

[dense locust]

average isp moment

[royal grotto]

Never had this issue on any other mobo other then the 5000 series support bios on a B550 tuf(Yes that was a real thing)

A B550 that didnt come with 5000 series support out of the box

[royal grotto]

My AM4 test bench is my old TUF X570 Plus Wifi was great

not so much the B550 chipset vairant

[heady plinth]

It must have been an early production one. There were only a few months between when b550s came out and 5000's release.

[lone mango]

America fatigue
https://youtu.be/aeXIgKuX_zY

[nocturne flicker]

My daily driver was the exact same model. One of the rgb headers died within a month and in less than a year the top PCIe slot decided one day to just not be a PCIe slot anymore. And then the replacement board after I nearly got ASUS'd during the RMA process last about a year and a half or so before deciding that the cpu was obviously using 200w when it was idling at 67mhz and then decided to die when I took out the CMOS battery and replaced it

[craggy shoal]

"America fatigue" can't be any more real tbh

I really like the part where a package arrives at a facility, stays there for the ENTIRE day, and then goes out the next.

[worn night]

FR bro

[unreal trail]

I'm seeing a trend lately where these game publishers are not allowing reservation of standard editions at launch. You can only reserve the deluxe editions.

[rancid juniper]

Welcome/10

[unreal trail]

dont get mad when I wipe my shoes on your mousepad

[rancid juniper]

Elaborate plan to reel more people into buying the higher editions

[unreal trail]

kind of. They tend to put all their effort into pulling in sales at the launch price, its where the sales matter most for the numbers. So they're trying to force those sales to be the higher priced editions. The scum rises to the top as usual.

Please dial down the passive-aggressiveness.

Newegg is a PC/Electronics server. For non PC/Electronics related topics there are dedicated channels such as #food-and-drinks , #cars , #gym , #anime .

It's one thing to bring up unrelated topics in a unrelated channel every now and again. It is a different matter when it's frequent.

That will be all from me.

He’s been skirting rules, creating a nuisance

We’ve literally never had to adjust the rules
He alone butted heads with us(mostly myself) to cause us to clarify the rules

Ah

I mean… it takes more than 3 days for 2 way shipping for an RMA…

[wheat tapir]

Hm? It takes more than 3 days for newegg to confirm they have the laptop after it's been delivered?

[tranquil pebble]

how many BUSINESS days passed?

there's also the shipping aspect

you can't expect them to verify receipt of a package before it even arrives

[wheat tapir]

3 business days has passed

That's what I just said

[tranquil pebble]

Do you know that the package was picked up by them? If not it could still be with the courier.

[wheat tapir]

Yes, I know it was delivered./

[tranquil pebble]

3 days might not even be enough time for the package to get to them depending on distance and how busy the courier is

[wheat tapir]

Newegg support even said so

[tranquil pebble]

What I would do is wait a day or two and bring the issue back up if need be.

Ml frame gen, ray regeneration, and smth called radiance caching

On top of fsr4

[rancid juniper]

^^

[sinful blade]

Explain?

[rancid juniper]

ML framegen is busted tho atm

[sinful blade]

I have 0 idea what any of that means

[rancid juniper]

it doesn't have good pacing

[opaque sedge]

So ML framegen basically frame gen that’ll hopefully have cleaner images thru machine learning, ray regeneration to make ray traced images sharper and clearer cuz raw raytracing usually looks dogwater, and radiance caching i’m not sure but its sounds like its tech that makes renderings rays more hardware efficient

Pretty sure ngreedia also demo’d smth along the ideas of radiance caching so if amd gets it out first they could have an upper hand in marketing ngl

[topaz crown]

Hello @dense condor! It appears that you're asking for help. Please ask again in the appropriate category so you can get faster help from people specializing in that field. Your question may not be answered here.

[heady plinth]

Search the exact model, like EVGA ftw3 or Asus tuf or whatever and hope some guy on reddit or YouTube measured them for you.

Thermal pads are also typically fine to reuse unless they are ripped or crumbling. 10 year old ones like that are probably not in great shape though.

Alright sweet, I doubt I can find an oled under $300 😅

[grand wasp]

lol yea....

if u want to put 2 screen in front of u for the price of one

i'd get a 34 inch monitor

but it comes w/ its own drawbacks

[twilit laurel]

I was thinking of doing 2 34" wide-screen monitors one on top of the other

[grand wasp]

it might hurt ur neck

but some people do it

[twilit laurel]

How tall does it end up being? I don't want to be looking at the ceiling lol

Currently I have a little 7" monitor sitting on my desk for timers, spotify, etc

[grand wasp]

https://tenor.com/view/cervical-traction-neck-brace-gif-14312010506898764625

[twilit laurel]

I'd probably have one monitor sitting flat on the desk

[grand wasp]

it's hard for u to really know w/o measuring

[twilit laurel]

True

Maybe I'll hold off on the monitor purchase then

My boss said he could just give me cash but I feel like that's not as fun

[grand wasp]

this is true

[opaque sedge]

@idle nexus one my best arc raiders moments

[twilit laurel]

after doing some research it does look like stacked 34s is too tall

[sinful blade]

Most TVs use a lower hz panel

Two 24 or 27 inches seems perfect imo

[velvet summit]

better than having a bezel

they want 2 widescreen monitors stacked on top of each other

well, wanted

[sinful blade]

@twilit laurel what’s his budget

[twilit laurel]

So do you think two 27s on an arm is better than a single 34?

[twilit laurel]

he said 200-300

[velvet summit]

depends on what they do

[twilit laurel]

I'm working on redoing my desk setup so I can buy whatever this doesnt cover monitor-wise

[sinful blade]

so not $1000

[twilit laurel]

haha, unfortunately not

I don't think that would fit through the door anyways

[sinful blade]

IMO yeah
I’m getting a sansui 27inch 185hz IPs monitor for Christmas

It’s 1440p

[velvet summit]

$300 total for 2 monitors or 1 large monitor? i feel like that is a somewhat small budget for 2 monitors, and still a bit small for a 34"

[twilit laurel]

Then maybe I could spend the budget on a stand and buy the monitor(s) personally

[velvet summit]

at least if both monitors are matched for the first (would be much cheaper to get one good and one medicore secondary)

no matter if it's one monitor or 2, i'd highly recommend a gas spring monitor arm

they're so nice to have

[twilit laurel]

We have vari branded gas spring monitor arms in the office I work at and they're nice

Hurts your pocket a bit though

[velvet summit]

i dont think i can ever go back to regular monitor stands

[twilit laurel]

I have a 55" tv on a $30 amazon rolling cart

if I breathe on it too hard it'll fall over

[velvet summit]

💀

but why

that also reminds me of back in school with the good old crt's strapped to the carts with ratchet straps lmao

[twilit laurel]

the plan was to get 3 tvs for my flight sim then i kinda ran out of time to work on it so i just use it as my monitor now

[velvet summit]

on a random note, hd600 series is the most comfortable headphones to me for long periods of wearing them
they're so light and don't shift around much
and the shape of the earcups fits around my ears much more comfortably than most other headphones i've worn

for short term use, iems or tws earbuds are a bit more comfortable due to it being practically weightless to your head, but they get uncomfortable over longer periods

[grand wasp]

sennheiser does make good headphones

i think it gets a lil hot during summer

"Intel will rise again"

[velvet summit]

it's fine as long as you have ac i'd say
but the velour ear cups are way more comfortable than the pleather earcups on many cheaper headphones since they're a bit more breathable, and also wick a bit of sweat away if you do sweat

[median kelp]

I was trying to sell my 13700K + z790 + liquid freezer II + this kit for $350 but everyone keeps trying to low-ball me on marketplace

[velvet summit]

you bought it just in time

[median kelp]

Someone tried offering me $240 for this combo and got mad I said no like

Am I asking for too much here

[opaque sedge]

@grand wasp 8

[grand wasp]

omg

here it is

[velvet summit]

i would say 350 for all that in the current market is fair
i think they're mad just to try to make you feel guilty

[median kelp]

I've had 6 people message and all offered like 200-280 range

And refused to do full price

The ram kit alone is new in box

And is $175 rn

[velvet summit]

typical tbh
it's pretty much expected for people to haggle on marketplace

[median kelp]

I've sold lots on marketplace

But usually when I sell for below value like this to get rid of stuff

I get full priced offers quickly

[worthy meteor]

change price to $400 and haggle to $350 lol

[median kelp]

Idk that feels kinda sleezy I always price it at what I feel is fair

[velvet summit]

i feel like it's rare for people to not haggle on marketplace lmao

unless the price is just that good

but if it's "just that good", people may suspect it's a scam as well

[worthy meteor]

more like a lot of people will haggle out of principle and not out of concern for the price

[median kelp]

Its just weird to me

When I sold a 4790K + ram + mobo + water-cooler for $100 a few months ago I got a full price offer almost instantly

And this is vastly better

And if you're trying to haggle and they decline are you really going to wait to see if they will drop the price?

[velvet summit]

back in the day, haggling was much more common, though nowadays it's mostly limited to just marketplace and like street vendors
i feel like haggling is like a tradition at this point lmao

to me it feels weirder to not haggle lmao

could be a cultural difference though

But like fr this headline is sensational at best and shows that whoever this is has no clue what they're talking about, at worst

[dense locust]

It’s like this but with tech

[elfin mural]

a handgun also puts a hole into the table

[worthy meteor]

It's just a misleading headline, the research is real, and the end result makes the headline technically true, it's "massless" in the sense of using structural parts that are already in the vehicle and repurposing it to also act as a battery, therefore adding 0 weight yet adding battery capacity.

'massless battery' just does better as a headline than 'structural steel battery'

[dense locust]

Batteries need a metal to even exist don’t they

[worthy meteor]

At the end of the day it depends on your definition, anything can be a battery if it can store some energy in some form

[heady plinth]

Massless energy storage. Is it a box with mirrored insides? When you need power you open it up and let the light out.

[nocturne flicker]

Keep in mind, techbros and tech media has been doing headlines and articles like that for 30+ years now

Not mentioning the future hype media that was more prevalent during early Silicon Valley days

Compooper Destructionist Ti XTX is typing...

[rancid juniper]

• Calling E33 UE5 slop

• E33 winning one too many nominations (9 nominations - including best art direction over Hades II and Silksong)

• People "rightfully" mad that there are so many games that feature grim dark tone with a character wielding a sword in a medieval or feudal Japan setting fighting big main bad (souls like too)

• final game reveal is just concord 2 (creators of apex legends and titanfall)

[trail nest]

expedition 33 won in almost every game catagory last night

[rancid juniper]

Overall, this year's Game Awards was boring and predictable

There were a couple interesting announcements I cannot deny that

we need a final fantasy game to win a game awards

E33 was good, but it wasn’t THAT good

Also agree with the third point
Elden ring, ghosts of Tsushima, etc have all actively burnt out that genre of games

[dense locust]

They should cap the amount of wins

[sinful blade]

Yeah

THIS

And THIS too

[sinful blade]

I’m tired of the souls genre

Sure, the games are fun, but once every game starts copying that style and direction, those games become really unfun to watch/play

Which, spoiler alert
Your game doesn’t need to be more difficult than giving birth to be fun

[rancid juniper]

What I realized is that there is little to no focus on gameplay, moreso on the visual aspect and wow factor involved

That does not define what a game is, a GAME shouldn't be a MOVIE

[dense locust]

We are finally tired of the souls genre?

Took a while tbh

I got tired when Elden ring became all that anyone talked about

The sheer amount of worship for one developer should not get to that point

(And in my unpopular opinion, the souls games and Elden ring just play the exact same, and I don’t like that)

[rancid juniper]

I don't play them yet I see the similarities, agree

The industry don't innovate, they just rehash

Though I don't know why Cooler Master is cutting the price so much on Amazon. It was already discounted by reducing the 360 from $65 to $50, but slapping on a coupon for $20 extra off?

[sinful blade]

How much

[void pendant]

It’s a auction rn.

I was going to participate but not sure if it’s even worth it.

[nocturne flicker]

Though maybe Amazon has got too many of them. There is a high return warning on the page for it, so maybe they aren't keeping them out of the warehouse long enough. The one I ordered is shipping and getting here in literally a day despite using free shipping slated to deliver on Wednesday

[sinful blade]

Max $350 untested.

Next year's quarters going to look like crap. I dunno what I expected honestly

[tranquil pebble]

and the nickel is the new penny

[nocturne flicker]

Tbh all of the coins except the penny and nickel designs look too cluttered and the quarters represent everything wrong with modern mint design

The dime and half dollar obverse designs are good, they just fall apart on the reverse

[worn night]

LETS SEE IT

[nocturne flicker]

Also they aren't making the half dollars for circulation

[opaque sedge]

Did u watch it till the end?

There’s a steering wheel type too for sim racing prolly

[nocturne flicker]

Worst part is, none of the submitted designs for any of the quarters just slapped the faces of presidents on the front, they had actually unique designs. Also they threw away the Suffrage, Abolition and Civil Rights quarters and replaced them with trashy Revolutionary War, Mayflower and Gettysburg Address themed ones

[royal crow]

they made a $100000 bill once

had woodrow wilson on it of all people lol

[nocturne flicker]

The series was to represent key moments of progress over the course of American history. They replaced coins depicting the Civil Rights movement, the Women Suffrage movement and the slave abolitionist movement, all of which had unique designs, and replaced them with low effort designs that literally reused assets from other coin projects and completely changed the theme of the coin series without any form of public notice, without any form of design review and without any form of public design submission process. As someone who cares about coinage and coin design, yes I care about this

[dense locust]

Since 1969, Treasury policy is to withdraw any $1000 bills it receives, but they are still legal tender.

would be a waste to turn it in lol

[dense locust]

The United States no longer issues bills in larger denominations, such as $500, $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000 bills. But they are still legal tender and may still be in circulation.
hmmm

The coins were representing moments of progress through history.

The coins are like a checkpoint in American history is what you're saying

[nocturne flicker]

Each coin in the quarter project was supposed to be, yes

[rancid juniper]

Mmm nice

[nocturne flicker]

It isn't anymore

And they decided to slap Presidents on the coins yet again

[rancid juniper]

Oof

[nocturne flicker]

And reused two of the portraits from the $1 coin program

[worn wave]

I like the state and national park quarters

i wonder how much money the us makes for people buying $4 worth of coins for $100

[nocturne flicker]

The US doesn't make anything, the mint does. It is part of how the mint funds itself

It uses the money from the coin sale program to pay for itself

[dense locust]

we got a coin subscription before gta 6

[nocturne flicker]

It has been around for decades

[nocturne flicker]

Yeah, they have been doing a comic superhero program

Silliest thing

More like a third party private mint than a US agency

[dense locust]

"here's your $3k coin billy, make sure not to lose it"

[nocturne flicker]

The Mint doesn't always put out stupid stuff. They just do it often

[dense locust]

these are still legal currency right?

[nocturne flicker]

No

They are not currency

They are medals

Well, actually the gold ones are technically currency, the silver ones aren't

[dense locust]

seems they do have a face value

but spending $3k to use as $50 is funny

yes i know thats not the point of these

[nocturne flicker]

I think it has something to do with the laws around minting gold coinnage

[dense locust]

yeah the silver ones are not currency

but the gold ones are proof coins so they are valid legal tender

[nocturne flicker]

Ah, yes I found it, the laws regulating gold bullion coins mandates denomination for gold coins

Though .5 oz is supposed to be for $25 denoms

[dense locust]

if i was unnecessarly rich i would buy a few of these to confuse some minimum wage employees

[nocturne flicker]

I heard it is great for sitting around after retiring

Get to 70, leave New York, buy a small condo or home there and spend the rest of your days getting a bagel and schmear with every other Jewish retiree

[cedar compass]

I mean hanging out with crocs not sounds bad

[nocturne flicker]

My mother wanted to do that when I went off to college and I swear the amount of eye rolling I did over her being an absolute stereotype was enormous
