im gonna split my storage into windows and linux
i have a 1tb gen 4, 512 gen 3 and 128 6Gbps 2.5.
should i do like what?
linux gets 1 tb and windwos get 640 gb
or linux gets 1.128 and windows gets 512

acoustic palm
#

crafty works though

#

i found a video for it

lethal jasper
#

i have like 22 gigs of ddr3 ram lol maybe i can use that for a minecraft server at one point

acoustic palm
#

@lone mango cloud i have a question

lone mango
#

Hello

acoustic palm
#

if you were hosting a minecraft server and you had 2 options, would you take a 3600x + 3060ti 16gb of drr4 OR a i9 9980hk + rx5500m + 64gb of ddr4

lone mango
#

3600x actually has slightly higher single core

#

For me at least, my server does not use more than 16 gigs

#

More like 12

#

10-12

acoustic palm
lone mango
#

The laptop config would be more efficient though if that is something you plan on leaving on for a long time

lone mango
#

3-4

acoustic palm
#

itll be 3 for me

lone mango
#

are you gonna be leaving it on nonstop

acoustic palm
#

yes

lone mango
#

or boot on demand

#

ok

acoustic palm
#

heres the issue

#

im being forced to sell my pc with the 3600x and the i9 has screentime on it

lone mango
#

if you dont care about power draw then the 3600x would be a little faster but the difference is actually not that much

#

Talking like 10% or so

acoustic palm
#

meh

acoustic palm
#

were only doing like super lite mods

lone mango
#

is someone using it or nah

lone mango
acoustic palm
acoustic palm
#

after like 4 hours everything will be locked down

lone mango
#

ohh ok

#

well shit

worn wave
#

Or like an intel 12400 non-f

acoustic palm
lone mango
#

your system is pretty cracked, you could host it on your computer while playing if you have nothing else

acoustic palm
#

one is my macbook the other is my old pc

lone mango
lone mango
#

i host and play on mine

worn wave
#

So 3600x and pull that 3060ti out and replace with a super lowend gpu

#

Total waste to have a 3060ti in an mc server

lone mango
#

the system i assume

acoustic palm
#

OH

#

bootcamp doesnt tick down screen time

worn wave
#

Yeah is the screentime via windows? I'd probably get Linux for the server anyways

acoustic palm
#

nah

#

its mac

#

well

#

its on windows too but thats tied to my microsoft account

#

ill js do windows

lone mango
#

cant you just put linux on the mac

#

you could

#

technically

worn wave
#

Wait the Mac has 64gb ram 👀

lone mango
#

wait so are you trying to run the server on macos but concerned about the server counting towards screen time

#

does anyone else use the mac

#

if no then try linux

#

i would back up your macos though just to be safe

lone mango
#

idk parental stuff ngl

#

but perhaps a wipe might be the cheese for this

acoustic palm
#

i need to install either windows or linux, and that needs admin access

worn wave
#

Can you remove ssd, format using your main PC, install Linux?

#

Might even be able to format it from a USB installer

acoustic palm
worn wave
#

💀

#

Well

#

That's on you then

acoustic palm
#

im not getting grounded for months

acoustic palm
#

idk which to choose

grand wasp
#

bro i want the trifold so bad

#

this man is big brain

misty sparrow
acoustic palm

i alr figured it out

dusk knot
#

Hm

acoustic palm
#

i hate this

#

so much

#

this is horribel;

dusk knot
#

Horribel indeed

acoustic palm
#

why does nothing work

#

😭

dusk knot
#

No idea.

acoustic palm
#

can i just

#

restart this whole process

#

or is linux that bad you cant do that

lethal jasper
acoustic palm
#

alpine

#

i need linux for this pc

lethal jasper
#

uh

acoustic palm
#

and i think i messed it up

lethal jasper
#

Cachyos now

acoustic palm
#

no

#

i need a LIGHT distro

lethal jasper
acoustic palm
#

i have an hdd

lethal jasper
#

Or something

#

idk

acoustic palm
lethal jasper
#

I did it with a usb

acoustic palm
#

i just messed up the command prompt setting up

lethal jasper
#

Rip

#

Have fun i have a driving lesson in 8 hours (it is currently 22:51)

acoustic palm
#

driving is lowk easy

lethal jasper
#

Sleep over

lethal jasper
acoustic palm
#

just press on the gas and break

lethal jasper
#

Surely

proud jackal
acoustic palm
#

what are the chances i brick this pc

lethal jasper
#

Its easy because there is not a single roundabout in the entire us so you just learn 90 degree turns and merging pepehmmm

#

and the stupid turning lane

queen sky
#

anyone know how long it takes for microcenter to restock prebuilts

proud jackal
#

im sure microcenter would know better than us uwu

lavish stag
#

is a 13600k for 140 a good deal

#

ignoring amd bc i have a lga1700

queen sky
#

you are better off asking a cat than the support chat

#

and am not driving 1 hr 30min to ask a question

opaque sedge
lone mango
#

There is a number for each store

queen sky
#

I tried to find it for 1hour

#

only corporate number

queen sky
graceful urchin
#

Ugh microcenter.. Website showed 25+ rx9070 challengers in stock but going there they said they didn't have any 😭 We drove like 3 hours

lavish stag
#

dude that sucks

#

oh my god

lavish stag
#

what did they say in response

graceful urchin
#

I knoww I was thinking of doing that in the store

lavish stag
#

rx590 to 9070xt holy upgrade

opaque sedge
#

Nah if its a long drive u do it before the drive at the website

graceful urchin
#

But I figured it would probably be just them telling me there was no in stock again

queen sky
graceful urchin
#

So I ended up getting an open box 9070 xt reaper which opened up even more issues

graceful urchin
lavish stag
#

mhm

graceful urchin
#

We checked the shelves too and there was none too

lavish stag
#

what's wrong with the open box?

queen sky
#

I would be PISSED. Did you go in without a pickup or purchase through online?

graceful urchin
#

It's still showing 25+ in stock..

#

Yeah I went in just expecting to find one, I guess it is kinda dumb on me

#

I'm thinking of trying again with pickup 💀 I gotta return my 9070xt reaper anyways

graceful urchin
#

But they kept on assuring me I would get full warranty from powercolor from when the card was originally bought

#

So like the remaining warranty that is left, they said it was probably just 1 month less because card was returned on the 18th

#

But after doing some research and asking powercolor reddit where some of their staff frequent (at least I think they are staff) they said there was no such thing

#

But they were nice enough to let me ask them for help if it's within 60 days of purchase and I couldn't return to microcenter

#

So yeah idk it's a headache..

lavish stag
#

you've had a hell of a day asking around....

#

ur back home now?

graceful urchin
#

Yeah i'm back home

grand wasp
#

Newegg has better customer service~

#

(i hope)

graceful urchin
#

I'm not sure when I'm going to go back but I have like a month or so

grand wasp
#

throwing some light shade at our competitor~

queen sky
#

@lone mango you said there is a number for each store

#

where do I find it

grand wasp
queen sky
#

for my store

graceful urchin
#

I still gotta go check with msi about m.2 compatibility idk why but when I checked my motherboard compatibility with my 2tb nvme it didnt show up

grand wasp
#

o rip

graceful urchin
#

But for all other tb's it showed up

graceful urchin
grand wasp
#

man is right

queen sky
grand wasp
#

yea

queen sky
#

Its so annoying lol

grand wasp
#

SAY IT

#

XD

graceful urchin
#

LOL

grand wasp
#

Almost everyone is Customer Service is my friend

graceful urchin
#

I've bought stuff from newegg for no problem but I heard some stuff about returns and I'm paranoid now haha

grand wasp
#

let me know!

#

we have a program initiateive called "voice of the customer"

queen sky
grand wasp
#

but this disc is good for that too

#

GAME STARTED BRB

graceful urchin
#

Do you work at newegg david?

acoustic palm
graceful urchin
#

🫡

#

I'm looking at the asrock challenger from newegg tho, I'll see what happens when I figure out some more issues

dense locust
#

Clearly it’s store 0

graceful urchin
#

But I thought you were going to get it prebuilt from them no?

queen sky
queen sky
graceful urchin
#

🫡

queen sky
#

On a prebuilt

queen sky
#

Such good deals

graceful urchin
#

Did you look at the costco one too or you wanted the 5070ti

#

Ugh yeah but idk the experience I had kind of pissed me off

#

But I probably do have to go back to return the 9070xt

#

If it doesn't have warranty like the microcenter reps say I'm not keeping it

queen sky
graceful urchin
#

Oh actually??

queen sky
queen sky
graceful urchin
#

Wait are you sure I thought it was 9800x3d 5070 at costco for 1500

queen sky
#

Also has better memory and an extra 1TB storage

graceful urchin
#

Well that was a while ago with the sales

queen sky
#

Was told need to get jt replaced

#

Cyber something

queen sky
#

Ibuypower

#

Yea

graceful urchin
#

Ahh yeah

#

That's true I did hear that

queen sky
#

And also 5070ti is a lot better for me

graceful urchin
#

Yeah that's true

#

Gosh 5070ti is crazy haha

queen sky
graceful urchin
#

Well good luck with that, hope it comes back in stock by christmas

dense locust
#

If 5070ti is so good why isn’t there a 5070ti 2

what's free deals?

queen sky
#

When you buy a part and something free comes with it

grand wasp
#

i lost my game 🙁

queen sky

Like a vpn or something

graceful urchin
#

The dealcember kekw

dense locust
grand wasp
#

what's wrong w/ free deals?

#

what stupid biz decisions?

graceful urchin
#

Mann I wanted the 5060ti 16 gb that would have been perfect

grand wasp
#

i know a few, but i want to know urs

#

no company's perfrect

dense locust
#

I swear those guy door buster deals were fake miyanoslam

grand wasp
#

they were real

queen sky
#

Newegg shipping Jan 20 for a pc is diabolical unc

grand wasp
#

i get people are mad b/c they were limited deals

grand wasp
#

it's through ups right

queen sky
#

Think so. It’s $120 extra to get it in 3 days

grand wasp
#

we try to resolve shipping issues where we can

#

but we're at ups mercy

#

if amazon didn't exist, people would understand

queen sky
#

What’s your role if I mind asking

grand wasp
#

amazon is a unique unicorn

graceful urchin
#

Wait David does newegg pricematch microcenter?

grand wasp
#

uh, u should ask Customer Service that question

#

probably?

graceful urchin
#

🫡

grand wasp
#

when microcenter bundle deals run out, people shrug a bit
when newegg deals run out, people say bots or fake

#

🙁

#

what do we do

heady plinth
#

When the good doorbuster deals sold out in 2 seconds it's correct to blame bots.

worn wave
grand wasp
#

ok

#

hmmm

#

maybe we should have a california doorbuster deal

proud jackal
#

i can't wait for the mod bonus checks this year

worn wave
grand wasp
#

physical location deals sell out slower

#

than digital

worn wave
#

Yeah both because you can't bot them and also the reach is much more limited. Less work to spam a button on your phone than to drive to a store

dense locust
worn wave
#

Yeah the Newegg doorbusters aren't a direct comparison

grand wasp
#

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

#

so have more quanitititities available?

worn wave
#

Personally I'd much rather see a raffle/shuffle for the doorbusters. I assume it's not viable to have a ton of stock at those crazy prices

heady plinth
#

Or run it as a raffle like the shuffle.

grand wasp
#

u win the raffle! the chance to buy a good deal!

#

D:

#

that's what Japan did too

worn wave
#

Yeah exactly

lone mango
heady plinth
#

Maybe only allow accounts that have a verified sale before or something to avoid bot accounts.

worn wave
#

Ooh that would be sweet

grand wasp
#

maybe show proof that people who won shuffle are verified accts/loyal customer

graceful urchin
#

That would be awesome

grand wasp
#

i doubt i can push that through

grand wasp
#

i'm saving this for later

#

don't hold ur breath

#

we have limitations

#

what's in it for the Product Managers if we do this?

#

it's good for Newegg overall branding

proud jackal
#

less angry reddit posts

dense locust
#

Raffle would be better

worn wave
#

Well as it stands, any normal person who tries to get a good doorbuster deal is going to watch it sell out in a second. A raffle/shuffle at least feels fair

grand wasp
#

but yes i agree

heady plinth
#

The ones worth scalping anyway. There were some I could have gotten if I wanted. Like the $1000 5070 laptop if I had any use for that I could have bought one by being early.

grand wasp
#

reward loyalty, that's a good Newegg campaign

tranquil pebble
#

got my eyes on this gpu

dense locust
#

I do too

acoustic palm
#

yay

#

first time using linux

dense locust
#

Because I’m looking at it right now

grand wasp
#

isn't that a workstation gpu

#

holy

tranquil pebble
#

and its only $1300 new which is crazy for what it is

#

Sure its GDDR6, but its still a workstation 9070 XT with 32 GB VRAM

#

the workloads I want to put on it involve ROCm with ML

queen sky
#

doing the same pc part deals as microcenter

worn wave
#

likely not sustainable. There's a reason those are in-store only

#

Well some are shipped I guess

#

The real good stuff is in-store

dusk knot
#

Hmm

dense locust
#

Macrocenter

tranquil pebble
#

Macromedia

queen sky
#

@graceful urchin

#

Am getting either one of these

#

when they restock

dense locust
#

Amd for gaming and long socket support
Intel for productivity

queen sky
tranquil pebble
#

In an alternate timeline, Intel never switched naming schemes and we have things like Pentium 22

queen sky
#

that makes sense

#

now am trying to figure out wtf Ultra 7 is

dense locust
#

Go back to old naming

#

Intel sales suffered because of it too

tranquil pebble
queen sky
#

they should do naming like the bmw models

#

so simple

dusk knot
#

Or larger

tranquil pebble
#

Fumocenter

Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF 3.3GHz Processor

#

how much worse is it

#

than the 7 9800x3d

#

for gaming

heady plinth
#

For games? A lot.

queen sky
#

gpt said 40%

heady plinth
#

Like a 7700x ish.

queen sky
#

INTEL lacking

heady plinth
#

The main reason anyone would still be buying Intel for diy is the igpu. No one is buying the f skus. Acceleration and quick sync for premiere is their main selling point they still have.

queen sky
#

to build it its $500 more

#

lol

#

so I will just patiently wait

heady plinth
#

For a new gaming PC I'd be looking either an am5 6 core or an x3d depending on budget range and local pricing.

heady plinth
#

About as good as you can expect to find for a prebuilt. They had a 5080 one for 2k on black Friday deals.

queen sky
#

in a long time

#

especially SSD and ram prices

#

lol

heady plinth
#

Yeah it's about what it would cost to do it yourself, including with a mc bundle price for a 9800x3d, board and ram.

heady plinth
#

Yeah it was usd.

tranquil pebble
#

I saw a 512 GB SSD going for $90 lmao

#

not even PCIe 5 either

heady plinth
#

I mean a prebuilt from microcenter like that one, with a 9800x3d. Not just a 5080.

queen sky
#

my 4060ti and ryzen 7 7800x3d

#

is the same price as the 5070ti 9800x3d

#

lol

heady plinth
#

Microcenter usually does the best job on prebuilts and pricing them non-exoribtantly. The sale prices on ABS ones are pretty good sometimes too.

queen sky
royal crow
#

Wrong reply

heady plinth
#

Closest one for me is like 10 hours to the San Francisco store. Maybe by the next time I'm looking at building a new pc for myself they will have added one around Seattle or Portland.

seeing 32 GB of RAM cost almost as much as I paid for 96 is crazy ngl

its pretty good

even if im running intel+intel

I don’t care who you send
I’m not switching to Linux

fresh timber
#

why

#

windows is shit

dense locust
#

I tried Linux

#

Wasn’t for me

#

I’ll keep windows 10

fresh timber
#

even shittier

frigid stag
#

no bloatware unlike 11

misty sparrow
#

I tried Linux for months but it's just not ready for general use adoption yet TBH

worn wave
#

Bazzite is excellent for a steam console style build

worn wave
#

Having used bazzite and mint, desktop is definitely snappier though

worn wave
#

Oh wait you meant win10 vs 11

frigid stag
#

ye

worn wave
#

I thought you meant vs Linux 🤦‍♂️

frigid stag
#

linux is nowhere near ready for gaming imo

#

at least if you play multiplayer games

worn wave
#

Is LTSC the long term version?

frigid stag
#

yea

misty sparrow
worn wave
#

I'd be curious to see one with the "regular" win11, cause presumably that's more optimized for gaming

frigid stag
#

idk probably similar but debloated win 10 should be better

lone mango
# fresh timber windows is shit

My brother went into safe mode and explorer was so slow that "windows" process was not responding, so the windows key didnt work, nothing worked. Told him to end the process and things on the desktop came back after like 10 seconds

#

Shit operating system

#

Then it took 2 minutes to shut down

worn wave
#

Also realistically the gains are.gonna be smaller in pretty much any other scenario, cause 1080p CS on a 5090 is allll cpu

frigid stag
#

theyre both pretty low bloatware since its ltsc

lone mango
#

ltsc still has junk in it, just less

worn wave
#

Still curious if ltsc is less optimized for gaming

lone mango
#

if you actually want to nuke all junk then you have to run something like talon

#

I taloned my ltsc

dusk knot
#

hm

lone mango
#

I might nuke my windows installs

#

why do people love rubber gromits on cases?

velvet summit
#

technically silicone but they help hide the back panel as well as protect the cables from potentially sharp edges (cases are typically die cut and may not have been deburred)

heady plinth
#

Makes it harder to see the mess of cables in the back.

lavish stag
#

ah

velvet summit
#

oems like dell are able to avoid needing to add grommets to protect cables because typically they arent dual chamber cases, and in the case that they do, they die cut and fold the metal on itself so that there aren't sharp edges

dense locust
#

I think my case uses those

misty sparrow
#

trying to decide on whether or not i should get this

lavish stag
#

yes

#

what do u have rn tho

I don’t know power supplies that well

lone mango
#

this is hilarious

misty sparrow
#

I’m being fr though is it good

lone mango
#

Yeah seems good

misty sparrow
#

The one I have rn is a Silver efficiency 500W PSU (dont know manufacturer) but I think it's pretty small for a 3060Ti build

lone mango
#

Seeing silver is really uncommon

#

It is probably not good

misty sparrow
#

It came with the prebuilt so

lone mango
#

3060 ti being the max for it

heady plinth
misty sparrow
#

Nah, I just saw how much wattage my PSU really had and compared it to wattages recommended for 3060Ti builds and thought I should get a higher wattage PSU

The manufacturer of my PSU is some really obscure one too

What is the best fan setup on this case? Feels like with 2 intakes and 3 exhaust and a gpu in the way there will be pretty bad airflow here

#

I assume there will be some space between the gpu and glass for air to flow but still feels too little

#

Would making the 2 top fans intake and only the back one exhaust be a bad idea

dusk knot
#

hmmm

#

imo

#

2 intakes 3 exhaust

#

Hey

Is this tough

lethal jasper
# dusk knot 2 intakes 3 exhaust

What about Top left and back being exhaust with some plastic part on the top to prevent exhaust air from coming back in to the system

#

Or is that a horrible idea

#

Something like this

dusk knot
#

hm

#

would you have the PC against or near a wall?

But i could make some space for the back

One of those bottom intake is also doing basically nothing since the psu is in the way.

WHAT WILL Happen TO BF6

heady plinth
#

If you were going to swap something I'd have the rear as intake and if you're using an air cooler make sure that's blowing the same direction. Also depends on whether the bottom is actually perforated for those bottom intake to do anything at all.

lethal jasper
dusk knot
#

Should be ok….i feel like that cover installation might hinder the hot air to escape.

lethal jasper

#

yeah

Or any other way to slightly raise it

Where the bottom of those blue arrows are, is that even mesh/open?

i dont know

#

uh

heady plinth
#

The case is fairly badly designed, trying to figure out how badly.

dusk knot
#

holy crap

lethal jasper
heady plinth
#

Yeah. I'd flip that back fan to intake and leave top exhaust.

#

It's going to get dusty quick because it's not filtered.

lethal jasper
#

but its like twice as expensive, no fans and i was on a budget

lethal jasper

uh

be quiet 3 pro or something

heady plinth

That should be fine.

#

You spend more on a cooler than a case?

lethal jasper
#

yes

heady plinth
#

Thermalright and nicer case probably would have been a better idea.

lethal jasper
nocturne flicker
lethal jasper

and no nicer case that doesnt make the price higher

lethal jasper
heady plinth
#

ID cooling, deepcool, montech have cheap options too. Be quiet isn't as overpriced as noctua or corsair but it's up there.

lethal jasper
#

would flipping the top ones ruin the lighting

heady plinth
#

You could put the reverse ones on top if you want them as intake. The bottom ones aren't doing anything so could leave them out.

lethal jasper
#

i mean not like i care about rgb

lethal jasper
#

i just prefer a way of improving the airflow while only changing fan positions

A filter? I'd see how your temps are, check the return policy and then decide what you want to do.

#

ok

Sub-optimal can still be fine.

i mean i'll still clean it once in a while

i think the cpu cooler fans use some clips, so those should be easy to turn around right?

Depends how much room you have. You can also just turn the whole thing upside down if you're taking it off. That model of be quiet the middle fan could be tricky.

yeah but if I cant play because of anticheat then that's worse than there being cheating

lets not pretend like theyre not clueless or malicious. and thats not even mentioning them excluding older windows versions for no reason

lone mango
#

Yeah a skill issue on their part because they never did anything to counter linux besides removing it entirely

worn wave
#

Pretty sure it did decrease cheating instances though. Big issue was that Linux was allowing for easier development of Apex cheats.

lone mango
#

Incredible work

#

It is true that they were basically helping each other develop cheats

frigid stag
#

it didnt do almost anything. theres still just as many cheaters

lone mango
#

Open source cheating LMAO

I guess the solution here is to implement a tiered "trust factor" system. Those who chose not to or cannot run the highest levels of anticheat can play in lower trust lobbies

u need 20h1 to even play valorant cuz of vanguard anticheat

But the devs took the easy way out by removing support entirely

3 days? Rookie numbers

#

I'm the type of guy who always has 2-3 browser tabs open even if it is just in the background not being used

nocturne flicker
#

That only happens with ASUS TUF mobos

#

Also it doesn't use much, Firefox is actually not super resource intensive with my extensions and the pages I have running so it isn't a concern

#

Usually just a paused Youtube video or a paused Twitch stream, so it doesn't actively use much unless the tab is open and the video is playing

rough sundial
nocturne flicker
#

It spikes gpu usage a couple percent when playing

rough sundial
nocturne flicker
#

Have you monitored system resource usage while videos are playing?

#

I have

#

And it uses a couple percent of x y and z system resources. Not enough to be concerned by but it is more than idle

#

And when you just have a Firefox tab or two in the background not actively running stuff like those videos, it doesn't use much, which is the point of what I was saying
