nothin a vbios flash and thermal paste cant fix fr

you just put in the gpu, boot up, and send a vbios file and it does it in a minute or two

i turned thermal throttling off on mine

lone mango
#

dual ccd can use more power before throttling

worn night
#

cause 240mm aio just eats my 13400f

lone mango
#

that is why the temp is so high, very concentrated heat + smaller cooler

#

but i also think it is reporting the highest temperature rather than averaging

#

actually that makes a really good point

#

i forgot to look at that

worn night

well folks here is a fresh thermal paste tier list

phase sheet ptm

#

i expected mx7 to be a little better

from what i remember it should be

dc2 pro is liquid metal btw

and with that im off to bed night chat

it does smell good tho...

where honeywell 7950

lone mango

before you go, would the phase sheet technically be reusable since it would harden after cooling down

or would it still be soft

i would google it

#

there's a reason ptm is regarded highly

#

it works brilliantly

dense locust
#

I use duro because people said it’s more for gpus

lone mango
#

Still worse than ptm

#

It will still pump out, just slower than the rest of the pastes

lone mango
#

Turns out it is the best for both, clearly

dense locust
#

I used fake ptm

#

Wasn’t that bad actually

elfin mural
#

it's easy as hell to use ptm

#

the material turns into paste form thru heat

lone mango
#

Also it turns out that the phase sheet is the same as ptm 7950

#

So it wont be worse like the joyjom on amazon

elfin mural
#

the first run will run fairly toasty but a few runs after that will be good

dense locust
#

Joyjom is fake ptm

lone mango
#

Thermalright helios is also worse than phasesheet and 7950

dense locust
#

That what I used

lone mango
#

Joyjom is still not bad though, but is a good bit worse than the real ptm

#

I also have joyjom

dense locust
#

Ptm is still so expensive to get

lone mango
#

I got a 31x50 in july and there is still some leftover

dense locust
#

Supposedly Linux sold it so people can actually buy it but it’s still so expensive

lone mango
lone mango

Yeah their ptm is expensive

That was a typo

#

Moddiy shipping isn’t free

Basically the same cost as Linus

im in thailand so i have the advantage of ultra cheap and legit ptm

it's like only 5 bucks for a big ol sheet

if i have some

lone mango
#

the 30x50 is $10 lmao

dense locust
#

I think am5 needs 50x50 right?

lone mango
#

No

elfin mural
#

you don't have to fully cover it btw

#

just 70% is fine

lone mango
#

I think it is 30x30

#

but i dont actually know

dense locust
#

Ptm for ssd

#

Show off how much money you have

lone mango
#

Reason i think 30x30 is because people use the 33x33 kryosheet for am5

dense locust
#

Is buying a broken gpu a bad idea

elfin mural
#

ptm for ssd probably results in a mess

#

oh damn so cheap

#

179 thai baht

#

so around 6-7 bucks

dense locust
elfin mural
#

for a 40x40

lone mango
#

Is that real tho

#

Because ptm should be a little lighter in color

#

lighter grey

dense locust
#

ptm 7950x3d

lone mango
#

So $35 for 80x40, which is a lot btw

#

A lot of pad

dense locust
#

My gpu has a phase change thermal pad

#

I dunno if it’s ptm

lone mango
#

Honestly as long as it is some kind of pcm ur good

#

Are others worse than others?

#

Yeah

But even "bad" pcms are still better than paste

Anyone want one more reason to hate Jess Bezos? https://vxtwitter.com/pirat_nation/status/2012827304171278611

Jeff Bezos claims that in the future, you will not buy a gaming PC.

You will only rent computing power in the cloud to play games online.

He called it inefficient and predicted it won't last, saying people will instead rent computing power from the cloud, much like buying electricity today.

Deepseek had the lowest

nocturne flicker

I think MIT did some tests back in early 2025 directly testing a Meta model and R-1 and found that the Deepseek model used way more energy per prompt and the only saving grace was that the prompt responses themselves were way longer so it roughly tied in overall efficiency

The claims of reduced compute and energy demands for Deep Seek type models may be overblown.

What motherboard do you have? You can look for PL1 and PL2 in bios. Stock values would be 65W pl1 (long term) 148W pl2 (short term/turbo/boost) and if you have a decent board and cooler you can generally set pl1 to match pl2 and it'll run more like a K cpu where there is no time limit on the boost. Otherwise there would also be a time limit setting for pl2 like a minute or so.

so I have learned that this is why you don't put a catalog on a network drive

networks aren't always reliable for that usage

ye from now on im gonna put the catalog on a external drive and the images on the nas. problem is the catalog have over 17000 images embedded in it so now they all have to be exported

nvm i completely broke my finder now, guess i have to restart

would probably help if it was a multi gigabit network

Yeah but the problem with windows is how it handles multiple connections to the same server

Can be a real pain to add additional shares for maintenance

tranquil pebble

What about Linux?

pliant berry
#

Linux is fine. Never really had reliability problems. I have multiple linux machines that have 24/7 access to the nas with no issues and they perfectly reattach if i restart the nas for updates

tranquil pebble
#

sounds about right. Networking on Linux is solid. Probably because of how many servers use it so it has to be

pliant berry
#

Yeah linux is very nice. Actually just re setup another machine for modded minecraft servers. What a joy it was to set that up

tranquil pebble
#

I found that even hybrid graphics is working well in Linux now

#

I've used that tech to maximize the amount of VRAM available for intensive tasks. The iGPU handling the UI means the dGPU gets to be fully used.

BeamNG.drive has a UI that is a separate process from the game itself and I suspect it uses both iGPU and dGPU. I need to confirm that though.

Very fast and painless

#

Torvalds is planning to have 8 release candidates

#

the end of the year threw off development too

tranquil pebble
#

6.19 has a driver improvement that could make my gaming experience nicer

#

specifically with raytracing on RDNA 2

lone mango
#

I still remember 6.12 last year, when I first switched over to linux

#

I remember waiting for ntsync to come out

2.6 was still in use when I first tried Linux.

I ran a really really lightweight shader on Minecraft at 1440p and got over 60 fps

tranquil pebble
#

that little iGPU allows me to squeeze a little more out of my 6900 XT

tranquil pebble
#

did you increase RAM allocated to your iGPU or no?

lone mango
#

No

#

I probably made my graphics card be used for everything

tranquil pebble
#

Hybrid graphics is not enabled by default on my mobo but I enabled it. The results are good.

lone mango
#

Because I can plug the display into my board and the game still renders from the card

tranquil pebble
#

After enabling hybrid graphics you need to plug the monitor into the motherboard

#

That option has to be enabled in BIOS

tranquil pebble
#

which if its a modern chipset it likely does

#

There's nothing you need to do in the OS to enable hybrid graphics. It should just work.

lone mango
#

But I will check this when I get home

`UserBenchmark is NOT a reliable source of information and has been blanket banned in many hardware communities such as r/hardware and r/intel for what started as an anti-AMD bias but has spiraled into delusion.

In fact, they tried so hard to skew results in favor of Intel's midrange that they even cannibalized Intel's own high end. For example, according to UserBenchmark, the i3-9350K is rated higher than the i9-10980XE.

For a similarly convenient quick-and-dirty hardware comparison website, we recommend using PassMark instead of UserBenchmark.

what are those words

#

my desktop has a 90% uptime

#

this shit hasnt had time to rest in over 4 years

elfin mural
#

keeping your pc on is better than shutting it down but i have a habit of shutting down anyway

velvet summit
#

around 5 years at this point

elfin mural
#

heat cycle from gaming, shut down, boot up and repeat can sometimes crack dies

velvet summit
#

to be fair

#

i dont think that happens very often

#

i don't really think i've seen any example of someone cracking a die purely from thermal cycles in a house

nocturne flicker
#

The die dies if you dye the die with dye, it is sorta like a roll of the die though so the die won't always die from the dying process

unreal trail
worn wave
elfin mural
#

ya, and that retains even more heat

#

it's a better idea to let it cool down and shut down, not immediately after

worn wave
#

Uhh

elfin mural
#

so temps can stabilize to the idle value

#

but tbh it shouldn't matter much lol

worn wave
#

...retaining heat isn't bad though?

elfin mural
#

oh right

#

slowly cooling down is better

sinful blade
elfin mural
#

my brain is not exactly awake at this hour

#

i just woke up an hour ago

worn wave
#

Don't think it really matters much

#

Maybe if you're doing ln2 cooling

nocturne flicker
#

I for one think you should pour boiling water into the pot immediately after running out of nitrogen

sinful blade
#

@opaque sedge

elfin mural
#

if anything, those edge cases only happen in normal circumstances when the die is badly designed

#

like them xbox 360's that kept dying

#

and the hp laptops with nvidia 9000M series gpus that died all the time

nocturne flicker
#

Make cpus explode if they aren't used 30% of the time for AI

#

Use an uptime tracker except it is AI uptime tracker and at 4am local time the PC will do a self check comparing uptime and AI uptime and if it is below 30% the mobo applies excessive voltage to the cpu and causes it to explode

elfin mural
#

ey, don't give em any ideas

nocturne flicker
#

Sorry, I was busy sending off an email to Intel, AMD and Nvidia, what was that?

lone mango
#

Probably the bigger one is like really bursty loads or something

velvet summit
#

not even that
i'm pretty sure silicon can just handle the thermal cycles

lone mango
#

Like gpu goes from 5w idle to 250 and then to 20 and then to 250

velvet summit
#

like, you got even stuff like kettles made of glass

#

or stovetops made of ceramic

#

i mean, sure, they arent silicon

nocturne flicker
#

Glass gets damaged when there is rapid cooling

#

Kettles slowly cool

velvet summit
#

but like, alot of materials that can shatter from thermal shock could also handle a fair bit

nocturne flicker
#

At least, you aren't supposed to expose hot glass to water because it'll shatter

velvet summit
#

there's also glass baking dishes
i mean, the thermal shock isnt that extreme, but also what cpus experience is usually not too extreme either

nocturne flicker
#

As someone who was majoring in biochem at one point, you haven't done labs until you shattered at least one bit of glassware from rapidly cooling it

lone mango
#

I have never done that before

velvet summit
#

but you also typically heat the glassware higher than 100c, which a fair bit of cpus might not even get to since the tj max may be at like 95c

lone mango
#

But I also do not have a major in that

velvet summit
#

all im trying to express is that materials that can get damaged with thermal shock could be perfectly fine with small thermal shocks

#

i'm sure if you put a cpu die at 100c and like put ice on the die, the die may crack

#

but it shooting up to like 95c from 22c is not as big of a jump

heady plinth
#

Depends what type of glass too. Some are more resistant to thermal shock, some are more resistant to getting dropped.
