It is in a Dell Optiplex SFF, slapping a low quality gpu in those and posting it as a gaming pc was all the rage
Yummy 4gb DDR3
Yummy 128mb of unknown ddr/gddr
all i have lying around is a 1080 and a 3070
Me too
Well, the 1080 is in my FX build but the 3070 is sitting in a box
8350
i was running that in 2022 and it was dying in a lot of games
what do you use it for?
actually the 1080 was decent, much better than the gtx 780
Yeah I upgraded in 2021 when I was doing college at home. I was just gaming on it though
I can run anything I play. Which is mostly a waste of the gpu tbh but eh
I play ROAD'S blocks and minekampf
Lately I have been just playing Rimworld and the past couple days have been a M&B Warband Rome mod
What's these
Games
what're the genres
Rimworld is a colony sim with a demented fandom and Mount and Blade Warband is a mostly sandbox medieval rpg that has you going around doing medieval combat things while managing the warband
Not my cup o' T sadly 
i still had to bend the bracket to fit it in the pcie slot lmao
pliers of doom
Not even the minibrackets the 730 came with worked?
yeah
Doom runs on anything, change my mind
the side of the case wouldnt close since the bracket stuck out on the top
so i actually bent the top and bottom of the bracket lol
The day that a Dell SFF chasis isn't ewaste is the day Dell isn't a borked OEM doing borked OEM things
the sff dell doesnt have wifi capabilities so i used an old tablet as an ethernet connection to tether it to my wifi
hence the usb c cable coming out the front
average modern highschool/college student
I'm better btw
talk to real people bro
I'm not very social irl
most of my crap was python because im teaching myself data science for biology
with that type of time on ai I'd say youre digging yourself a deeper hole
W, i'll keep going then


Nah i don't i just try to learn how to socialize
i see
in 3d?

Hit me with the flap down,
Crashing with a loud sound
Apoplectic and pathetic as can be
I put my neck up on the chopping block- A birdbrain, baby, I don't think my head is coming off
There are many games
there are many recommendations
what type of games do you like
mostly shooters
did you see avatar 3
lmao I tried all of them anyway haha
never really got into mass effect
not into story games tbh
Titanfall 2
Honestly the OG d2 campaign is pretty cool. Some great maps/setpieces
But IIRC they removed a lot of the OG campaign
Jump Space is fun as heck
Think it’s on sale for $16 right now
lol its completely gone
almost anything prior to beyond light launch is gone
just a few old spots remain
there is a huge void in that game that still isnt filled to this day
Bruh
when i put in a new gpu (nvidia to nvidia) will i need to do anything driver wise
like yeah get the newest ones, but will i need to DDU whatever it comes with?
Ddu always
DDU before or after tossing the 3070
Eh, Nvidia to Nvidia probably doesn't need it
i’m not throwing it away!! I realize what i said sounds wrong. It’ll be my backup in case the 5080 runs into issues
and eventually maybe i’ll sell the 3070
Mini ripper finally up and running ish needs more frame built but later date. Little late night movie watching and movie ripping
i updated my bios for the first time today 
cough cough
i mean he could always support the homeless right
I have unfortunately given money to Corsair
Mmm
i got 300 for mine earlier this year
might sell for less now though
Chat what games here can i actually use the 9060xt’s ray tracing in
Should i sensor that people playground thumbnail
Nobody:
Random YouTube video: Why you should not swallow a jelly fish

the best firewall is the good ol wire snip snip
Drop all traffic
I should check mine but that's a lot of work
Is there any good looking case under $100?
yes
the fractal north is 116 just get that!!!
Well "good looking" in subjective so..
IMO there are tons of good looking cases under $100
You can go to PCPartPicker and look through em yourself
i just bought a perky
is 3dmark 2001 se good for modern gpus?
uhh probably not
can you run it? probably
but it's not gonna be relevant
nor is it gonna run well because modern hardware is no longer focused on older graphics APIs even if they do support them
just run the modern 3dmark
happy birthday @velvet summit
happy birthday @elfin mural
happy birthday @acoustic palm
eh??
Happy birthday
happ the day of birth
Christmas wine!!!
wat
are u upgrading to a PS5 pro?
isn't PS5 the most modern system?
No hosting giveaways here
Mmm
Also, I got word about validating deals/promotions for loyal customers
Mmm
We honestly have bot/scalper protections in place.
Something I don't 100% agree w/ is to provide proof that bots affect our Newegg deals/promotions
Our own employees (don't get preferential treatment) try to get the deals too and some (rarely) do get the doorbusters or restocks
I brought up, maybe we can provide some kind of proof that we validate purchases, but releasing customer information is not the way to go about it right
That's my update, in other news, there's a new poll up for today~
@opaque sedge #polls-polls-polls
so the response I got was, can you prove we're affected by bots/scalpers?
The response they said was, limited quantity. That's why it's a doorbuster
One second to get from adding to cart and checking out?

Prove it and I can bring it back to the tech team
I didn't like the stance, but that's the one I was given
We can't release customer information to our socials saying, "Look who got doorbuster deals"
Now I’m no business person, but can’t you just add captchas to doorbuster deals?
like what, when you click add to cart?
or checkout
yeah if that does work, I feel like that would help
i can relay that to tech team
I feel like that could end up pissing someone off
Yeah… no form of anti bot measures is kinda dumb
Do the captcha from cards against humanity

i feel that way too
“Oh man I’m sure this captcha will help prevent bots”
The captcha in question:
it might contribute to a bad user experience, they're stressed from trying to do it as quiockly as possible
find the penguin in the photo
Hmm
Please dont tell me scp-096 is in the background
Okay. We won't
@opaque sedge #polls-polls-polls
whats worse, getting a lil pissed off with a captcha or the item you want selling out in under a second
Ooos Ooos
Buying a pc and getting a call a day later that someone snatched my ram and psu of choice
sry
ur great :3
I'm just trying to vibe
Yeah randomly found it gifs curious abt the original source 
for each option missed or incorrectly selected, add 1 hour to their timeout
Wonder what this will break
Oh true
Copilot recall my nvme speeds

@grand wasp lowkenuinely who puts peanut butter and chocolate together
What the heck is a crispy M&M? Are there any M&Ms without the hard shells or something?
Uncrisp M&Ms are just the ovals of low quality chocolate 
@lone mango the wifi card you sent should work with my mobo right before i buy?
never replaced one before
just looked it up, should work
Ofc….
5080 being 1100 is criminal
what should it be priced at? @acoustic palm
Hopefully 850?
i duno
5060's: 300-400
5070's: 600-700
5080's: 850-1000?
5090's don't exist for me
The 5080 should be 700 bucks in a world where Covid and the AI/crypto boom never happened
Or 750
The lowest I’ve seen a 5080 is $999
It once dropped to 900 at microcenter
Oh right right
theo_lose
5050 - 200$
5060 - 250$
5060ti 8gb - 325$
5060ti 16gb - 375$
5070 - 475$
5070ti - 675$
5080 - 750-800$
5090 - 1.2-1.3k$
but thats never happening
Yeah just download the driver from intrl
Intel
It is a fancy installer
Good tek

For me that is actually true though
I stopped giveaways because I never won a single thing after like 6 years of on and off entries
Maybe if I kept doing them all the time for that amount of time like a crazy person
Only in a reasonable world

sadly
I really kind of want a 5080 now ngl for 3440x1440p
WH-1000XM6
Not- the new fancy senheiser?
Nop
we have captcha
dang
people on the internet are getting them
5070ti for 675 where
where are any of these
im saying these are good prices
i wish it were like this. dam Nvidia
Booooooo

Theo only deserves the best, not the 4th best for sound
But jokes aside, the Xm6 only really excels in ANC, after that, there are better Bluetooth headphones.
This is a techie server after all
We can do better
Fr.....next gen might not be all that good with the possibility of Nvidia cutting down on the quality of their vram.
For..... AI
I bought it so I don't have to listen to this server

I’m more concerned abt the fact that we might not get next gen for a while 💀
It all makes sense now
But u never had to listen to this server theo, u had to read what this server said
Nvidia still needs to hype up the market with updates and shit so I assume they’re definitely working on new architecture tho
With extra ai features dw

I have a 6 year old beyerdynamic dt770
me listening to weezer on shuffle
"why does this sound so much like ajr"
the song:
sennheiser hd490 pro and moondrop blessing3

Don't copy that floppy
Did I hear you right? Did I hear you saying that you're going to make a copy of a game without paying? Don't Copy That Floppy! Produced by SIIA (formerly SPA) in 1992.
im late but adding capta to checkout would work for excatly 1 day until bots are programed around it 
soltuion? new cap system for every new release 
make them play the captcha game
now i wait till the 29th for it to be delivered 
I wouldn't steal a car but I will now have a seizure due to the flickering blue lights
probably how they paid the devs for expedition 33
Why is Teto here bro
ah, the joys of pc gaming
i get pretty much none of those
not even hours of troubleshooting in regards to games
though there are hours of troubleshooting in regards to server software
or making scripts
Literally their only song I've listened to
teto
birb
i love it when ppl ask for advice then fully ignore it 😭
Anyone card collect in here?
When I was a young lad
ah lmao ive been doing a lil bit of Topps nonsense card collecting.. nothing like baseball cards or anything like that
got some marvel studios topps cards coming soon
That’s super niche. Wow
ye but the collectors for these types of cards are crazy
hell did you see that Elsa card that sold for $20k?
Yes the Disney Elsa lmao
Get that out of here
lol I dont wanna collect those types of cards but just saying if that type of card would sell, Marvel cards def will
these are the cinematic universe ones and there are actor signature cards
I hope you score
Just nothing as stupid as Elsa from frozen
🤮
Was it a holographic card, Jake?
dancin
Find them
the card that sold? it was a superfractor
Yall wanna see my Halloween costume i will definitely only wear on Halloween and not for anything else(looking badass, daily life, etc)?
Well you're seeing it anyway
hello everyone
i hope everyone is having a great time this week
i am having a great dam night
i just realized we don't have a music channel
o well, can have'm all
havem?
have'em?
this is Saint, over and out
Can we get a 3d printing channel pwease
u know i wanted to cut channels from this discord
D::::::::::::::::::::::::
i am very adverse to adding channels
hmmm
HMMM
HMMM
what channel do u recommend cutting to add one?
maybe i can add temporarily
Sometimes you have to make sacrifices, that is one I'd gladly make 
Mostly for the reactions tbh
@royal crow don't ping me about anime stuff ever again.
what happened
I have no idea
Motor just dropping a bomb and leaving
What is your favorite anime
Blocked
Also blocked

I never pinged him wth
No
Guys I'm joking
fr
who wants to play some arams?
uh
Sad
True
Bro 😭
Bro you're unblocked
I'm on my phone
It sounds like your phone has a virus, you should think about sending it off to one of us so we can fix it
Wait you had me blocked?
i'll give it back in 5 yrs
Yes lol for like two seconds
Breh
pla?
Type of plastic
People's Liberation Army 
Gonna 3d print my waifu fr
Best mecha game ever
Naru is my absolute favorite
is this tuff
is that the sniper
Ye
Lmao
fr
Genuinely hop back on
Can't tonight but probably tnr
this is a brillent use of my Sennheiser HD650S
listening to things like this
bro trynna be Yuno Mile's new producer 
Yes. Goes insanely hard
my beyerdynamics going crazy fr
oh yeah, yuno miles gonna start beef with dr.phil with this kinda beat
Yo wth
Yeah yeah
cpu couldnt handle it
lol
thats why it lasted for so long
Blue packaging
it couldnt keep up with the playback
i thought blue packaging was for pretzel m&ms
chat does vtrl actually work
i noticed it makes my mouse more responsive (i think) but thats about it
Maybe. Who knows. I doubt they show any real evidence
Probably get the same effect by running a debloat script and maybe setting your dns to cloudflare (1.1.1.1)
i do like how vtrl lets me choose which individual features i want removed though
what do you do just comment out what you dont want removed
oh really? most of the scripts ive seen just remove a list of apps
Nah it has prompts in the cmd window and you select Y/N or 1/2/3/4
oh thats actually super nice
Ok but fr tho i do be making actual heat though
Show the fire
snippet
yeah im 100% getting addicted to this game
Lmao

Worth at least one watch imo
The plots are very meh but the visuals are worth a watch
I’ve seen almost every major movie ever
You got me
First and second have been on streaming for a while
Yeah theatres are bonkers
The sad thing about the avatar movies is how its generally made to be seen in theaters. It loses it magic after
The third one
$20 for one ticket when a month of streaming service is ~ 1/2 that, I get why people don't go
Depends on location I assume
and then they proceed to overcharge you on snacks and drinks
i'm lucky my location has a self-serve fountain drink machine
other locations don't give you free refills
Yeah the concessions are insane
The pool I work at has $1/$2 popcorn and $1.25/$2 slush puppies. People are always surprised by the pricing
27 dollars for imax 3d
The real crime when going to the movies 
I just eat at home
Maybe get a drink
Or share one lol
Oh nice!
There's a second-run theatre back home that has a pizza place next door and they sell pizza slices at no markup 😍
Everything at my favorite spot is one time deal
It's like $4-5 a slice but they're hefty
A bit
I think the last time i went to a theater they were charging like 10usd for a bucket of popcorn
I almost never get snacks. Easily end up spending 50 to go to the movies
Is it possible for EA’s anticheat to ban you
yes
Yeah the markup on corn and corn syrup is crazy
If i play on linux can i get falsely flagged or something
I think that is the whole point of anti cheat systems
False flags for cheating are rare
Oh Linux
Ehh at most it probably just won’t let you launch the game
I asked their customer support but still im not sure
oh yeah im hard addicted to this game
linux? you probably won't even be able to launch the game
ig i should make a small windows partition for ea games or something
However the text chat bans are insane
Or anything that doesn’t run on Linux
It’s worse now 
I don’t recall how much
Or just use windows and use some debloater idk
id just not play it at all
anti cheats still don't play well with linux
What
if they dont want to support linux then dont play it
They can. But some developers choose to not play ball
Where is a good site to get windows keys for somewhat cheap
i hope that day happens sooner or later
just dont activate windows
Doesnt that kinda limit you
not really
Ngl this is what i do while also bugging support to allow proton/wine
you just cant customize some things
microsoft is on its mission to speedrun windows destruction these days
Gamers outlet Windows 11 Pro Cd Key OEM Microsoft Global. 4 euros
with the goal of using ai to write its code
lol no
Yea thats why i want to use linux
ignoring good games because youre too lazy to use windows for em... insane
just stick to windows for now
Alr
is gamers-outlets.net fine to get windows keys
there are so many good games out there
i have 3 starwars ea games
and? theres even MORE good games from ea
i mainly play apex
I’ve historically always hated windows and probably always will. I take any chance to get away from it
so i need windows
this is not one of them
jedi fallen order and survivor go hard tho
I still gotta finish those
Should i just get windows and a debloater
the moment roblox gets native support on linux, imma move
but as is, i can't move lol
yeah
oh god you cant even run roblox on linux?
i have played roblox for 10 whole years and i can't let go of the game
They ported it but no official version
you can, but it's a workaround
Can’t you already play Roblox on Linux with sober?
ok im just not even gonna run linux atp
mobile version emulated on linux
Yes
How is sober doing rn
and workarounds can break so ye
heard it is not bad
i don't wanna deal with allat
If you actually need to, yes
what do you play on roblox
mostly driving games
I tried sober for a bit and it seemed to work. Though i don’t pay much Roblox
Just put windows on a separate drive
What should i do for windows to take the least amount of ram
and some random fps games on there
I'm pretty sure it aint a hassle anymore
I just dont want the billion apps i dont need and the background tasks taking up ram
Some win enterprise ltsc version
honestly idk why i even wanted to main linux, it seems terrible for me
as they don't have something adjacent to g-helper on linux
when i run unplugged
for cpu ofc
i need every ounce of battery life when im unplugged
power can sometimes go out for half a day here
Is this tuff
Should i get revo uninstaller and ghelper for the pc like you suggested for the laptop or is there no need
is the laptop gonna be an asus laptop
if so yes
armoury crate is bloat
goes hard
i just don't really like how limiting it is tbh
idk my friend said remove it and im too lazy to reinstall it
g-helper lets me turn the fans off with a custom curve on silent mode
and i retain RGB controls too
i love deck building games
Looks real. I can’t believe we’re at a point where we have to assume images are ai. Smh
Thinking good
nah zoom in
it looks like some 3d model shopped in lol
no it looks real
bro the game said i unlocked jokers but idk how to get em
lol

No its a pc
Alr

buy your own ram prebuilt
then what is the POINT
there is no point to prebuilts
how is this fighting anything
you still need to get ram
imagine the prices are the same
i wouldn't be surprised
we, the buyers always foot the bill
it's never the companies
less profit margin? no no, you pay more so we retain the margin
Free the cat
???
😭
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO PIBBLEEEEEEEEEEE
He had it coming
b570
That is a big one
view distance is yes
voxy
Looks amazing till I zoom in
Oh shit thats right
That is the one that was in development for a while right
I forgot to check in on this mod again
Yup the green v I remember this
It looks a lot better than dh
Looks like I am not the only one
all the chunks i generated and its a lil nicer on the lod settings
and shader pack im using just added DH and Voxy support just yesterday
Clouds in that second pic look like photon
What game?
Minecraft lmao

So far 4GB of chunks loaded and more to be loaded tomorrow
Yeah not the most responsible thing for me to do at 3am when I have management interview later

Whats this
2080ti cus yes
Mmm
I am tired
Also I just got a bagel sandwich from McDonalds and instantly regret it. The bagel was crispy because it was stale. Last time I get breakfast there with a coupon 
getting my first Debian Linux system soon. The funny part? Its an Arduino.
a
exploded
one of my favorite video game enemies honestly because of how fair they are to fight
if you get blown up by own, its almost always a situational awareness problem
Ghasts are fun too though because you can kill them with their own projectiles which is funny
What is that
dying light the beast
i'm having a blast so far
looks like you got a surveyor in your lobby
I enjoyed it but not for long idk why it got boring fast
even though the ram crisis rn, im in a dire need of upgrading as pcs suffering rn with 16. are there many negatives getting ddr4 ram like this for additional memory?
plus have access when you
Also it will actually be bloated as heck
Also also not funny joke
I wouldn't blink if the game ends up being 500gb+
And then they'll slowly optimize it over time because they spent all of their dev time and delays doing something trivial or something
gonna end up costing about $90 per game... for the storage to hold it
Twist
Twist
Twist
Twist
Twist
Not really
It’s just not flashy
As long as it has good timings and solid speed
There may be slight thermal issues if your case doesn't have enough airflow
Though should probably be fine
yeah the one downside ive found when tryin to buy it is i dont know the timings
like it isn't listed
No it will cause your pc to explode now buy 32gb for $700 with maximum rgb and a plastic heat spreader and it'll be good frfrfrfrfrfr
Seriously though the only downside is thermals with low air flow and sus timings depending on who put the sticks out
You can get aftermarket heatspreaders if you really want
yeah tbh i dont even know hte timings on my current ram i bought it that long ago
heat isn't really an issue tbh i got decent airflow and it wont be overheating with what i do
nvm found them
i got a b460 i think so old mobo with slow ram speeds unfortinutly
What would be a decent PSU for just using to flash BIOS with? It just needs to be cheap and preferably not a bomb
HUH
why cant I change my server profile name
Why does this channel exist?
Gotta be like level 3 I think
CatGPT
HOLY, what a deal!
I bet you that $437.99 listing was pre-shortage
Unless it's just some goofy listing lol. I wouldn't doubt that either
i was just wanting to see if there was any cool deals, and this absolute god deal came up, and i just had to share it
One whole dollar
really needed it this year
I was going to buy RAM a couple months ago. I guess not 🫠
Should've done it. Would've been a great investment to sell
TBH im just going to wait till zen6 and ignore everything happening rn
with their new interconnect im excited to see what energy improvements and potential perf improvements its going to have
Zen 6 but the ram costs $1000 for 16gb
Zen 6 but you have to buy the cache as an addon cost
Zen 6 but it's modular so you can fit like a whole megabyte for the L1 cache but it'll cost like $1,200
Bulk value for 2MB will cost $2,000
3D L1 Cache but it costs 3K
save 1$ for tissues so u can cry after spending 400$ on ram
Hmm I don’t know, maybe check to see what the other posts have been sold for (completed sales under filters) and make an offer using that
Offer $2 and a packet of chips
No always on display with the SE 2
It's similar to a series 6 I think, minus always on but with a slightly faster processor
Series 7 gets the bigger display without increasing the body size
I love my series 7, got it used for ~$120 about 1.5 years ago
With used apple watches make sure the battery isn't shot cause afaik there's no replacing it
@sinful blade another budget option is the CMF watch by Nothing
thats assuming 3dvcache is even possible on zen6
considering how they are connecting the CCDs and all
the only placement without having it being incredibly complex would be on top, but then we would have the same issues as original 3d v cache
I am pretty sure Zen 6 is going to have 3d vcache options. As in 99% sure
Even if I wasn't sure, it would make no sense for them to not spend the time needed to figure out how to get vcache working and would be disasterous if they didn't
Were you sleeping JP?
Not anymore
I've been up since 5am. After getting 3hrs sleep 
if they find a way to fit it into the "sea of wires" i would be very impressed, im already impressed they got a working version of the "sea of wires"
Yes sleeping more makes you age more I agree
I never sleep well for morning shifts
Tech companies agreed 
Tell the future to stop renting it out, we need our technology right now for us not the greedy future 
OWNING OUR TECH IS OVERRATED
Caps spam is overrated
Owning home is too 

This message is now rented
I meant it helps to slow down aging lmao
You'll never get old if you never sleep frfr
Yeah because you'll be dead before that happens

I am at work, I am not going to go exercise 
Desk job?
Pretty much. I sit in a kiosk
The worst ):
It only hurts when I sit in a specific way or in an unsupportive chair
Which is what I am doing for the next hour and a half until my coworker comes in
Usually it doesn't hurt though
Probably slept on it wrong last night during my 3hrs 
That has to be it
🤔
I sleep
fr
But you just woke up
I have awakened once more
that game is microtransaction heavy iirc
Lego $2k drive
Lego 3K Drive when adjusted for inflation

Steam is down?
I open downdetector
Like only 20 reports
Refresh five seconds later
900 reports
Sorry Steam is being scraped for AI databases be back soon
How’s the latest dlc?
It’s fun
Not something to reinstall the game over but it’s good
They did the lightsaber very well
Good dungeon
Good activities
Little too much Star Wars imo but whatever
Holy crap. Imagine AI companies being so gluttonous for ai supremacy that they start giving offers to whatever server company they find that’s already in use.
Rip. How the franchise has fallen
Imagine? I don't have to 
I’m talking about very popular ones like for steam, YouTube, or whatever
Who says they already haven't
Our new AI overlords have processed everything and still don't know how to make recipes that taste good 
Ai dumb. Duh
What was that? You have 2 dozen eggs and 3 lbs of cheese in your fridge? Proceed to put 24 eggs in a pan with 3 lbs of cheese and cook until done 🤖
‘Member when Bungie used to have good campaigns
why is their flipping techique so terrible
like even if the pan didn't break, that wouldnt even flip it
🤮
I don't know man it just came up when I typed pan in the gif search
Yes.
Now look at their current staff

Look at this staff
