[acoustic palm]

free money

[elfin mural]

my god, another crypto scam

[acoustic palm]

my favorite

who ACTUALLY falls for those

theyre getting SOMEONE

or else theyd stop

[idle nexus]

I try to avoid passive voice. it sounds like you're trying to sound smart lol

[dusk knot]

You know the half life of uranium-235?

[tropic relic]

wait i wasnt supposed to click it?

[elfin mural]

no

[acoustic palm]

half life?

[tropic relic]

im kidding

[acoustic palm]

half life 3 reference

[tropic relic]

oh foxy check this out

[elfin mural]

yeah?

[tropic relic]

this thing is a beast ngl

[acoustic palm]

https://www.amazon.com/OneXPlayer-Super-Processor-Protective-Magnetic/dp/B0GKVNMZ2F on a scale of 1-10 how stupid of a purchase is this

[nocturne flicker]

Something high like 700mil

750?

[elfin mural]

i only have something with 4050 rn

well been so for like 3 years

[tropic relic]

got your moneys worth atleast

[dusk knot]

Closer to 4.5 billion years. That's your mute time

[tropic relic]

hows it been

[dusk knot]

[acoustic palm]

dude this thing has 3 different ssd slots

wild

[elfin mural]

it's okay still

im aware of the 6 gigs vram tho, it's a limitation

[tropic relic]

oh yeah for sure

[elfin mural]

but as long as i work with it it's been serving me well

[acoustic palm]

a microSD card and a 2230 ssd with a built in 2280 ssd

[craggy shoal]

This is what living with Macs your whole life does to you when you finally get your first PC lollll

[elfin mural]

i need frame gen in some cases

[acoustic palm]

dude

[nocturne flicker]

Nuh uh

[acoustic palm]

its a TABLET

[tropic relic]

i was playing dune on max settings and started to feel the fps working hard

[acoustic palm]

thats cool no matter what

[tropic relic]

hell no i hate frame gen

i will never ever use it

[craggy shoal]

Bro WHAT LMAO

[elfin mural]

frame gen is fine if all you can eek out in a game is like 60 fps base

if you already have high fps yeah, there's no point

[tropic relic]

i always find frame gen to have visual bugs and artifacts

delayed input etc

overall its just horrible whenever i use it

[worn wave]

Newest DLSS FG has cleaned these up a TON

[tropic relic]

subtle things are very noticeable

[elfin mural]

it's a compromise i have to work with on 4050 if i wanna play the latest games

[acoustic palm]

its a TABLET that has a desktop 9950x and a desktop 4060 IGPU with 2 ssd slots (6tb max storage), up to 128gb of ram, liquid cooling conversion kit is possible for it too

[tropic relic]

my pc is amd

[worn wave]

I'm picky about motion clarity and I've been using DLSS FG in the Avatar game

[tropic relic]

laptop is nvidia tho

[acoustic palm]

oh and a microSD slot for another 2tb of storage

cause why not

[craggy shoal]

What kind of tablet is this wtf 😭

[worn wave]

Does it have active air cooling?

That thing must be a chonker

[tropic relic]

makes sense

[acoustic palm]

yeah theres 2 different versions

[elfin mural]

is this ai max+?

[tropic relic]

i just play on low graphics atp

[craggy shoal]

Also, just say the exact iGPU. Saying a 4060 as an iGPU doesn't make sense lol

[acoustic palm]

8060s

[elfin mural]

the ai max+ doesn't perform like a 4060 desktop last im aware

[acoustic palm]

it does when plugged in at least

[tropic relic]

i dont even know what we are talking about

whats this box

[acoustic palm]

thats the mini pc version

[tropic relic]

cube of doom

[acoustic palm]

https://www.amazon.com/OneXPlayer-Super-Processor-Protective-Magnetic/dp/B0GKVNMZ2F im talking about this beast

[tropic relic]

why is it kinda cool tho

[dusk knot]

Understandable. You're free to go.

[tropic relic]

ohhhhhhhhhhhh yeah

tablet laptop

i forgot u was looking for it

my amazon cart is sitting at 949.35 rn

might have gotten a little out of hand

might be dropping 3-4k soon

[acoustic palm]

its 120hz AMOLED 2.8k screen

thats absurd

and anti glare yooo

[tropic relic]

you know who else is anti glare

[elfin mural]

im still meh about windows tablets tbh

windows and touch doesn't seem to go very well together

[acoustic palm]

ok so it does beat the 4060

[tropic relic]

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0G53VCGQB?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

[acoustic palm]

better than being forced to use a macbook and ipad

[elfin mural]

i guess

[acoustic palm]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/257230545545

[acoustic palm]

and im going into engineering soooo i need windows and i need decent specs

[elfin mural]

that's fair

[tropic relic]

just use linux and suffer

[bitter ridge]

You would get basically base ps5 like performance

[tropic relic]

like a normal linux user

[elfin mural]

but amd graphics though, could be a bit problematic with engineering programs in terms of performance loss

[acoustic palm]

better than running an ipad for notes and having some weird gaming laptop

[idle nexus]

FINALLY GIVING THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY'VE BEEN ASKING FOR WOW

[acoustic palm]

on a tablet thats pretty dang silent

ill take it

[elfin mural]

the tablet is also rather gamery looking

so i honestly don't really see the point other than the touchscreen

[bitter ridge]

You can't help but be scared af due to how dark it is

[acoustic palm]

i want OLED and thats like the only thing i found thats OLED and not 60hz

[tropic relic]

tbh

[elfin mural]

lenovo legion casually existing

[acoustic palm]

has none of the things i need

[tropic relic]

quoks search filter rn

[elfin mural]

it has oled no?

[tropic relic]

is really strict tbh

touch screen laptop/tablet with oled with high hz and high performance but doesnt want to overspend

so framework is out of the house

[acoustic palm]

i NEED

• touchscreen
• pen comp w/ a 2in1 format
• windows
• 32gb ram + 1tb ssd (or ssd slot)
• good enough cpu/gpu for engineering
  i WANT
• oled

[tropic relic]

OH YEAH

and a pen

😭

[elfin mural]

alright, that is understandable

a tablet it is

[acoustic palm]

oh moneys not an issue

[idle nexus]

lol sounds like you're getting a Microslop Surface

I have a Surface Book 3. Avoid like plague

[acoustic palm]

keep it around or under 3k and it should be fine

[tropic relic]

moneys not an issue..

mf

[acoustic palm]

im not the one paying

[craggy shoal]

Bro I wish you the best of luck finding a Windows tablet that has a pen that isn't a complete shit ass of a gimmick (I mean this genuinely btw)

[acoustic palm]

the one i sent...
asus z13..

[idle nexus]

hey now my surface pen is, uh, ya sucks

[craggy shoal]

Probably ass

[craggy shoal]

Even the tablet that’s MADE for note taking 😭

[tropic relic]

dude i just sneezed so hard that my left arm went numb

it huts

hurts

[elfin mural]

oof

[dusk knot]

That's..... Not supposed to happen

[idle nexus]

what's that bad ass ROG tablet?

[elfin mural]

z13

[idle nexus]

didn't they have one with a 3080 a few years ago?

[elfin mural]

uhhh with an egpu enclosure

yes

[acoustic palm]

metal jesus did a video on it but he didnt go over the pen

[bitter ridge]

Ign will have more exclusive footage tommorrow

[acoustic palm]

wait does this even have pen comp

[bitter ridge]

Who is that

[idle nexus]

oh ya it is the flow z13

[elfin mural]

a gaming tablet that takes a pen is gotta be the hardest combo to find

[tropic relic]

[acoustic palm]

i dont care about gaming

[idle nexus]

wow 128gb of RAM? https://www.bestbuy.com/product/asus-rog-flow-z13-kjp-13-4-2-5k-180hz-touch-screen-gaming-laptop-copilot-pc-amd-ryzen-ai-max-395-128gb-ram-1tb-ssd-kojima-productions-edition/JJGHGPRK8H/sku/6669891

[acoustic palm]

i need performance for school

[acoustic palm]

its like 1000$ less on amazon

[tropic relic]

are you a bot

[acoustic palm]

oh wow

[idle nexus]

with 128gb of RAM?

[tropic relic]

why you keep posting random twitter news 😭

[acoustic palm]

that edition looks hot tho

[elfin mural]

the high performance is usually marketed as for gamers, so they typically don't care about pen support

[bitter ridge]

I am a bot

[acoustic palm]

mhm

[idle nexus]

128gb of RAM alone is worth like $1500 lmao

[tropic relic]

just be human

[acoustic palm]

https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Flow-Gaming-Laptop-Nebula/dp/B0DW238TXK

[bitter ridge]

I had no idea the z13 has gold accent colour

[craggy shoal]

Yes

[tropic relic]

tuff

[acoustic palm]

thats a special edition

i want that so bad wth

[elfin mural]

it's the kojima edition that just came out recently

[tropic relic]

kojima mentioned

[elfin mural]

it's one thick tablet

[tropic relic]

wait thats a tablet?

[acoustic palm]

wow its

a thousand dollar upcharge

[elfin mural]

yeah it is a tablet

keyboard is detachable

[acoustic palm]

that looks amazing but thats not worth it

[tropic relic]

ok but that tablet is SO TUFF

[idle nexus]

are the high end surface tablets all on ARM?

it's like all the down sides of windows

[tropic relic]

say that to the 100 collectors who will spend 4000$ for it

[idle nexus]

minus the compatibility!

[acoustic palm]

id rather have it look different and spend 1000$ less

😭

[bitter ridge]

If the screen was oled 120hz and higher the z13 would be nearing perfection

[tropic relic]

look different?

i think the whole attraction to it is that it's a special kojima edition

[nocturne flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/freedom-gif-14887144685173519659

[tropic relic]

kojima didnt get goty, let him make some money moves

[elfin mural]

3600 is nuts for it still

[acoustic palm]

sadly the only thing i found for that was the OneXPlayer

[elfin mural]

that's 5090 laptop kinda money

[tropic relic]

true

[bitter ridge]

Lg gram laptops which are sub 1kg I think my next laptop is going to be from that lineup

[idle nexus]

lenovo makes tablets that uh... aren't that impressive nvm

[tropic relic]

could you not just be a millionare, and buy the z13 and swap the chip out for a 5090

then you would have a 5090 Kojima Z13

[elfin mural]

the heat output would be insane

[acoustic palm]

omg

[idle nexus]

nvm I think they're android anyway

[acoustic palm]

my dad is amazing

[tropic relic]

it would be so tuf tho

[acoustic palm]

he shortened my essay and made it so much better

[tropic relic]

just stick a cooling pad under it

is your dad's name ChatGPT

[acoustic palm]

@idle nexus if you can find a tablet/laptop that meets these im open to suggestions

[craggy shoal]

China basically does this. If you're lucky, you can go onto AliExpress or Alibaba and get a "96GB RTX 3060" or something stupid crazy like that. I've rarely seen it, but some people genuinely go this route for AI servers (dGPUs btw)

[elfin mural]

i want the new loq with intel panther lake

[acoustic palm]

no

he quite literally went over my essayy

[elfin mural]

wdym 8 hours out of 60wh battery on ips?

that's insane

[bitter ridge]

My government is telling us to use less lights because of middle east war

[tropic relic]

thats crazy

[elfin mural]

but it's also more expensive that zen 5 legion with oled..

[tropic relic]

atleast there is a market for them

[elfin mural]

the loq is on 1200p tho, so 8 gigs vram ain't a problem

but the oled legion is 1600p

[idle nexus]

with this tablet you can do your homework then throw it out of a third floor window https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-laptops/latitude-7030-rugged-extreme-tablet/spd/latitude-10-7030-rugged-tablet/xctolr7030usvi?redirectTo=SOC

[tropic relic]

is there a way to like

wait

[acoustic palm]

thats quite thick

[tropic relic]

how do manufacturers OC their gpus

[acoustic palm]

and quite expensive

[idle nexus]

wth is this OS? lol

this is for like UPS drivers or something I dunno

[elfin mural]

they run stability tests

[bitter ridge]

Strix halo main problem really is how many laptops it is in otherwise it is perfect

[elfin mural]

and decide on a stable value above reference spec

but the "oc" is generally what, +25mhz?

[idle nexus]

two displayports lol

[tropic relic]

yeah its buns

but im wondering like how they do it tho

[elfin mural]

it's only there to say it's there

[tropic relic]

they dont do it the same way we would right

[elfin mural]

cuz if they oc too far from reference clocks, there's way less gpu that passes

[bitter ridge]

I sense massive discounts incoming for the Qualcomm laptops

[tropic relic]

Nahid

are you like a professional internet browser

got a tab for every social media platform

[bitter ridge]

[tropic relic]

oh looks like i got a notifcation, AMD just posted

[idle nexus]

there's umm this thing https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-laptops/dell-16-plus-2-in-1-laptop/spd/dell-db06250-2-in-1-laptop

no dgpu option sadly

[elfin mural]

can dell go back to sensible naming

[tropic relic]

[elfin mural]

instead of whatever trash this is

[acoustic palm]

288v is fine, but its also like super close in price to strix halo

[heady plinth]

I was looking at a 14 plus. Went to best buy today to try the display model, they didn't have the good screen one but the keyboard on it is really bad. The last gen snapdragon inspiron was better.

[nocturne flicker]

Dell had sensible naming?

[elfin mural]

inspiron, latitude, xps. names that made some sense

[tropic relic]

Rugged Balls Tabtop

[elfin mural]

but now it's dell plus

[tropic relic]

32gb ram

[elfin mural]

dell pro

[bitter ridge]

Dgpu options would be worse due to less battery life and random sleep issues

[elfin mural]

dell xps plus

[acoustic palm]

and strix halo is like basically twice as good in performance

[elfin mural]

dell pro max where

[idle nexus]

fold-able https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/thinkpad-x1-fold/

[tropic relic]

dell pro plus max ultra 16

4600$

[heady plinth]

The top one is premium. I actually like the plus and older inspiron design better.

[idle nexus]

+AIAIAIAIAI

[acoustic palm]

discontinued?

[elfin mural]

ah so it's dell xps premium at the top then

[idle nexus]

is it? derp sorry

[heady plinth]

Premium has the goofy borderless trackpad and awful keycaps.

[tropic relic]

i want a k10 keychron

the wood border one

im using a crappy 15$ dell keyboard

[acoustic palm]

why do the still have the website if its discont

weird

[elfin mural]

get the concrete keychron keyboard

[tropic relic]

since 2 years ago when i got water on my akko keyboard

cement?

watafuk

[heady plinth]

Dell, dell plus, dell premium and then xps is between plus and premium or a separate line, not sure.

[tropic relic]

concrete?

[elfin mural]

yes

[idle nexus]

damn this sucks cuz Surfaces actually look half decent in this product category

[tropic relic]

why not the coalmines one

[elfin mural]

that exists?

[tropic relic]

yeah it comes with minimum wage

[elfin mural]

windows and arm, with engineering use case being required? money burning 101

[tropic relic]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DT3LPDGP?_encoding=UTF8&th=1

is it just me or does anybody else hate this, grey, light grey typa keyboard design

keychron is obsessed with it

[elfin mural]

im ok with it

[tropic relic]

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DXZ97PCG?smid=A13H4JQ0J94225&th=1

[elfin mural]

since my laptop is already grey on black

[tropic relic]

now this

this is peak

[acoustic palm]

heyyyy its not my money

😛

[bitter ridge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzSxE3_L3mA Might be what you are looking for

[acoustic palm]

288v?

[bitter ridge]

Worse then strix halo but panther lake is more efficient overall

[acoustic palm]

its half as powerful as the strix halo

😭

[elfin mural]

panther lake is 300 series

[acoustic palm]

oh wait no not the 288vv

the uh

388h?

wtv its called

yeah thats half as powerful

[jade comet]

foxy

my pc crashed again

i didn’t download anything

i just turned it on

[tropic relic]

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GBZ4Q68?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

[elfin mural]

did it blue screen?

[tropic relic]

this is my favorite mouse in the world

[jade comet]

nope

[bitter ridge]

358h with b390 igpu

[tropic relic]

although the new one looks really cool but its like 3x the price

[jade comet]

just stuck

[acoustic palm]

358h nah

[elfin mural]

huh

[acoustic palm]

id want at least the 388h

but the 395 max+ is almost twice as good

[jade comet]

it doesn’t open any app basically

[acoustic palm]

so...

[acoustic palm]

i have one sitting on my server pc

lmao

[elfin mural]

that's weird as hell

you might really have to reinstall the os

[bitter ridge]

Also will get access to better upscaling since strix halo is limited to fsr 3.1

Panther lake uses the full fat xess and not the dp4a one which all gpus can use

[jade comet]

l already did

[acoustic palm]

dawg

[jade comet]

last night

[acoustic palm]

im not gaming

[jade comet]

again

for the 2nd time

[craggy shoal]

Are we getting a 3nd time?

[jade comet]

no i’m breaking my pc

[acoustic palm]

3rd times the charm

[craggy shoal]

no 3nd time :(

[tropic relic]

so peak

im trying to decide if i should buy the x plus lightspeed vers

[nocturne flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/shocked-surprised-gasp-what-cat-shock-gif-11650643656289713807

[craggy shoal]

bro's finger is a whole foot long wtf 💀

[elfin mural]

i have a feeling the install media is cooked

if it conks out twice

[jade comet]

it was working perfectly tho

like no issues

what am i doing wrong dawg i js wanna play

[idle nexus]

is XMP enabled?

[bitter ridge]

I eat 6 bananas in one go think I might be cooked

[tacit geode]

this isnt a spoiler just in the main main cutscene but damn 80c

purposely chose a that

[idle nexus]

time to custom loop

[tacit geode]

its an aio card

XD

thats the screwed up part

[jade comet]

idk i’m about to reset and go into bios

again

[idle nexus]

time to remove & replace thermal paste with liquid metal

[tacit geode]

but no I won't be since this isnt my pc just testing

[idle nexus]

wait, so it goes thru the entire windows install without issues then hard freezes on desktop doing nothing?

[tacit geode]

damn with dlss on its really really smooth and looks nice

[jade comet]

yeah

[tacit geode]

evenfully maxed

[jade comet]

like i can enter my pin

go in the desktop

[bitter ridge]

My 5090 hovers around 68c in this game while consuming the full fat 600w

[jade comet]

and then it freezes i can only move my cursor

[bitter ridge]

Asus did a amazing job with the astral cooler

[craggy shoal]

Sounds like Windows things to me

[idle nexus]

lol you're all making me feel poor with my 4090 rn

[craggy shoal]

Microslop's Winshit :)

[tacit geode]

hmm time to keep this here

it doessnt help my room is 80f right now

[bitter ridge]

I should have bought at launch I overpaid buying 6 months later

[idle nexus]

liquid metal is <3 tho

[tacit geode]

yeah no thanks

[craggy shoal]

bruh my portable AC doesn't even take up that much power 💀

[jade comet]

so any idea on what i could do

[tacit geode]

I wish this pc had my 1500w corssair so i could wawtch all powerusage

[idle nexus]

try turning off PC & PSU, holding power button for like 30 seconds then swap the RAM slots (i.e., DIMM in B2 goes to A2 slot & DIMM in A2 goes to B2 slot)

there's this thing called contact fretting

my dad's PC wouldn't POST the other day & I reseated the memory & it was fine

[craggy shoal]

Honestly, troubleshooting the RAM alone would probably diagnose your issue

[idle nexus]

you might also wanna clear CMOS just for the heck of it if you haven't already

[idle nexus]

ya I wanna get one of those PSUs that give readouts those are awesome

PSU is like the only thing that doesn't give sensor data these days

[tacit geode]

But this damn pc puts out more power than my ac does

my ac uses max 1200w

but average in cold room 650w

gpu alone almost uses the same amount

dude really no FOV stuff on re9

[chrome mirage]

Steam deck ran out of battery so now I'm running it off my phone battery.

[tacit geode]

bruh that is blinding but lol that cool

[jade comet]

gonna break this stupid ass pc

[chrome mirage]

Phone puts out enough power to charge it while running the game.

[tropic relic]

is there a rx9070xt that doesnt have a glaring radiator pointed at you when mounted on a motherboard

[tacit geode]

huh? radiator?

[craggy shoal]

I don't think there are any 9070 XTs with a radiator lol

[tropic relic]

holdup

whatever its called

[craggy shoal]

[craggy shoal]

The heat sink?

[tropic relic]

yes

[chrome mirage]

Ate through like 20% of my phone battery in 10 minutes.

[tacit geode]

lol

He wants one with full shroud

https://tenor.com/view/logitech-logitech-g-shroud-gif-23812480

[tropic relic]

its like staring back at me

its all i can see

[tacit geode]

https://tenor.com/view/zazucat-openingmounth-gif-15473176046473294726

or like solus

[tropic relic]

stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back

[jade comet]

now it’s running normally

what

it wants to be beat i swear

[tropic relic]

what is even that

[onyx island]

peak gpu

[acoustic palm]

ew

they did terrible this gen

12vhpwr connectors

[tropic relic]

are the lian li infinity fans good

im seeing they are loud

when at 100%

[jade comet]

whyd y 9070 start making a whinig noise

[craggy shoal]

Fanciest brick y ou'll ever see

[jade comet]

damn bro it gets hot

[craggy shoal]

Was it under load? That's normal

[jade comet]

i js opened a ganme

[chrome mirage]

I prefer my Sapphire 7900XTX

[craggy shoal]

normal

Pretty much all of my GPUs have had a coil whine when under load. I'd be surprised if my GPU didn't have a coil whine

[chrome mirage]

I've been really happy with this card

[jade comet]

gpu temp 1

is at 80

[craggy shoal]

That's fine

[tropic relic]

i wanna play some dune

[jade comet]

The others are at like 67 and 45

[tacit geode]

the 5090 im using doesnt

[craggy shoal]

Yeah that's fine

[tacit geode]

my 3090 has coilwhine

like horribly

[craggy shoal]

Surprising 💀

I think Nvidia is known for having crazy coil whine in almost all of their GPUs

[tropic relic]

should i get a 5080

is it even much better than 9070

[craggy shoal]

If you need Nvidia, yes. If not, then get a 9070 XT

[tropic relic]

i like nvidia but i dont need it

the only thing they offer is frame gen and upscaling tbh

mostly frame gen now

fsr is good

[craggy shoal]

AMD basically does the same thing now lol

[tropic relic]

well i havent tried the new nvidia frame gen

[lone mango]

Just worse, as per the usual

[tropic relic]

but i hate frame gen bc it looks horrible

[craggy shoal]

Frame gen isn't worth it tbh. Plus, Lossless Scaling is only $7 on Steam

[jade comet]

amd i son fsdr4 rught

[lone mango]

That leaked fsr 4.1 though is an improvement over the current

[tropic relic]

what is that

[tropic relic]

you would hope

[lone mango]

Unfortunately it is not enough

Dlss 4.5 is just cracked

But fsr 4 is good enough I guess

[tropic relic]

idk i feel like a 9800 cpu might be overkill for a 9070xt

[lone mango]

Which games

[tropic relic]

i play a lot of everything

rn im playing dune

i play ready or not rn too

[craggy shoal]

That's actually probably the lowest end CPU I'd pair with a 9070 XT lol

[tropic relic]

you think so?

[lone mango]

Nah 7800 still good

[tropic relic]

feels like everbody has been telling me i should get a 7800

[nocturne flicker]

Mmmm

[craggy shoal]

Well, actually probably a 7700X. But I'd rather pair something with at least 12 cores with that GPU (maybe that's just me though tbf)

[tropic relic]

7600 and 7700 as well

[craggy shoal]

My brother is using a 7700X with his 9070 XT and I think it's working fine for him

[jade comet]

wait ow do ii update my drivers

[craggy shoal]

bruh

[tropic relic]

if i downgraded from a 9800 to a 7700

it would 150$ less

[craggy shoal]

7700X is still fine for a 9070 XT. You probably don't exactly need an Nvidia GPU, too. Honestly, save the extra $150

[tropic relic]

and id have a B650 instead of a B650E

[tropic relic]

unless i see a good deal, i dont think i will upgrade my gpu for some time

im using a 6750xt rn

its already a big improvement

[craggy shoal]

What platform are you on?

[tropic relic]

wdym platform

[lone mango]

am4 or am5

[tropic relic]

am4

i7

[lone mango]

that is not am4

[craggy shoal]

Yikes. You'll need a RAM upgrade lol (if you're actually on AM4)

[tropic relic]

https://buildcores.com/builds/ZWX7Y2UF6?share=true

i dont have a pcpp list

[lone mango]

what is the cpu in your system currently

[tropic relic]

this is my current build

[lone mango]

oh ok

oh wow ddr4 alder lake

[craggy shoal]

Honestly, just get an i7 13700K and you'll be fine. And then upgrade to a 9070 XT. You'll save loads more money

And make sure your BIOS is updated, too

[tropic relic]

im building a new build completely

im selling this one

swapping to DDR5

[worn night]

wazzup chat

[lone mango]

yeah ddr4 kinda blows for that era of intel cpus but still better than spending $500 on ram

[worn night]

rest in pieces wallet

[tropic relic]

true

im trying to take advantage of micro bundles

[craggy shoal]

Yeah personally, given RAM prices, I'd just get a better CPU, keep the DDR4, and upgrade the GPU if you feel it's needed

[tropic relic]

i could probably clean this one up and sell it for 900

and build the new one

[craggy shoal]

Even for what you're playing, there's not much of a need to upgrade

[lone mango]

900 is generous

[tropic relic]

900 and open for lowballs

[acoustic palm]

not really

[lone mango]

bro got 2 terabytes

thats like 3 grand

[craggy shoal]

Yeah and then spend double that (at least) for a new PC, if somebody's actually willing to buy your current PC for $900

[acoustic palm]

32gb of ram, 2tb of ssd storage (REALLY good ssds too)

[craggy shoal]

Man this guy was about to get rid of my green role fatigue. Now he's making decisions he doesn't know he'll regret

[acoustic palm]

i regrett

most of my life decisions

😭

[craggy shoal]

If you want a new build, just get a new case, new CPU, new GPU, and it'll feel halfway to being new and you'll feel better about it

[tropic relic]

I just want to build a new PC, with DDR5 and open for the next generation of parts

im probably going to sell this pc to my brother

[craggy shoal]

You're gonna wait a while for the "next generation" 💀

[acoustic palm]

youre getting a top end pc for what then

[tropic relic]

he has a 300$ box from facebook

[acoustic palm]

next gen parts wont be much better

[lone mango]

zen 6 will be big

[acoustic palm]

yeah but if hes playing 1440p high with a 9800x3d

how much better is zen 6 gonna be...

[tropic relic]

plus if i stay on DDR4, the parts i can get are limited

I will eventually have to swap to ddr5

i might as well do it now when im financially golden

[tacit geode]

damn for temps

[tropic relic]

and im tired of intel tbh

[lone mango]

I would say you should spend less now, then spend even less later because ram and storage won't be as brutal. Hold out as long as you can bro because new ram and storage is simply not worth it

[tropic relic]

its so dumb how they just rugpull your ability to OC your cpu and make it exclusive on their new series

[lone mango]

You are upgrading at the worst time

[acoustic palm]

that we know of

[jade comet]

how can i safweey dwonload val'

[acoustic palm]

its the worst time comparing to the past

but the future...

[tropic relic]

I have about 7000$ right now, and another 8000-10000 by april or early may

let's say i take 5,000 away for taxes at the end of the year

i still have 12,000$

[acoustic palm]

honestly

invest

[tropic relic]

how about i invest in a new pc

thats basically the same

[acoustic palm]

depreciation

[lone mango]

It won't get much worse than this

[tropic relic]

5 years down the road when ram is 5x more than rn

gold

[lone mango]

It has barely increased recently

[tropic relic]

tbh

i could scour facebook marketplace

always some oldhead selling ram

but its gonna be hard to find DDR5

somebodies grandpa is selling their grandkids pc

got my ddr4 for 20$

[acoustic palm]

you never know

[inner drum]

I know everyone here has got some spending money just do this fever ridden no appetite 16 year old 2 medium pizzas from pizza hut there's a good deal

[lone mango]

[inner drum]

Puppy eyes

I can't afford it man

I'll send location just bless me up

[acoustic palm]

if you have no appetite why are you getting so much food

[velvet summit]

2 mediums 💀

[inner drum]

There's a good deal

Hey listen I'm not greedy

[tropic relic]

at some point people are going to start asking if you mean ram as in the electronic or the truck

[acoustic palm]

ive eaten 2 mediums in one sitting before

[velvet summit]

I can barely go through 1

[acoustic palm]

theres probably a ram car thats cheaper than a few sticks of ram

[tropic relic]

i can go through 2 mediums if its caseys

[tropic relic]

honestly you are probably right

[inner drum]

Listen pizza hut has 2 pizzas for 7 bucks and 2 is required

[acoustic palm]

easily

[velvet summit]

Shit 7 bucks for 2 is a good deal

[inner drum]

That's what I'm saying

[royal crow]

I'm getting a versa for abt that much

[acoustic palm]

damn

https://klipy.com/gifs/watermelon-watermelon-eating

i have a 5 day weekend

😛

i have no clue what ima do

[royal crow]

Ram costs $900 because of ts btw

[acoustic palm]

uighhh its gonna be crazy hard to diet for those days

hmmm

i can wake up at like 2pm and that should help

[tropic relic]

so if i stay ddr4 i will spend 1500$

if i swap to ddr5 i will spend 2000$

[acoustic palm]

how bad of an idea is it to watch hells paradise in school

[tropic relic]

its not

good series

[acoustic palm]

https://tenor.com/view/subaru-natsuki-war-meme-maxgames331535-gif-5182520434151936498

i watched the witcher at work

[acoustic palm]

ik

but like

its not exactly sfw

[tropic relic]

bad scenes galore

[acoustic palm]

you gotta keep in mind this isa company server

😭

[tropic relic]

you should watch food wars at school

[tropic relic]

lowkey just gonna swap to ddr5

im comfortable spending extra and if i dont build a new pc and sell this one, i will feel worse

if im spending this much money, i want to be happy about it

[velvet summit]

Pfft
I watched Markiplier play five nights in anime at school once 💀 back when he released the videos ong

[acoustic palm]

uh

nothing markiplier puts out would be worse than hells paradise

ill tell ya that much

[velvet summit]

I don't even remember if it was mark that did it

If you don't know the game, it's... Quite NSFW

[acoustic palm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXzPxBhhmY8 WAIT IS THIS NOT A CRAZY PREDICTION

[tropic relic]

what fans are these

[acoustic palm]

infinity fans

[tropic relic]

they look like lian infinities

[acoustic palm]

generic

[tropic relic]

but im not sure

[tropic relic]

you think so?

[acoustic palm]

thats the style of the fan yes

its probably the overpriced lian li onoes

[dusk knot]

It’s music time

[tropic relic]

there is uh

asiahorse ones that looks nice for 45% of the price

[acoustic palm]

or thermalright ones

[tropic relic]

i heard they have some too but

what are they called

i see their infinity aio cooler

oh i see them

cheap as always

im trying to decide now whether to spend 680$ on open box 9070 or 750-850$ on new 9070

[acoustic palm]

get the 710$ sapphire one

[tropic relic]

where

taichi?

i feel like if its 710$ its gonna be open box

[acoustic palm]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Bvjv6h/sapphire-pulse-radeon-rx-9070-xt-16-gb-video-card-11348-03-20g

[tropic relic]

whats that

oh

its 780$ but they give you 60$ gift card :/

[dusk knot]

Should be 600

[deep parcel]

my brand new 9070XT was $650 that I got last month

[potent robin]

Your imagination can only take you so far.

[nocturne flicker]

They need our ID so they can sell it on the side to some guys on the dark web

Also something something think of the children

[tropic relic]

cant find any solid cases i can make my mind up on

[queen briar]

for what

[potent robin]

https://www.newegg.com/thermaltake-e-atx-full-tower-case-view-71-tempered-glass-rgb-edition-secc-tempered-glass-computer-case-black-ca-1i7-00f1wn-01/p/N82E16811133359

I got this case like 7 years ago. Amazing build, very moddable

[queen briar]

you got the glass version of mine. nice

[potent robin]

This ones a newer version than what i had

[tropic relic]

non touch looks kinda tuff too

add something in that bottom right space

[worthy meteor]

just saying, but at one point fishtank cases will look boring once you've seen just how many are out there

[queen briar]

the fact thermaltake went full fish tank bothers me so much

[tropic relic]

very compact

[tropic relic]

fr i just checked them and they are all h6 flow copies

[queen briar]

these are cool

011 rip offs

[worthy meteor]

idk as long as they're priced well they are fine but

I've just seen so many fishtank cases since o11

[queen briar]

goof troop

[worthy meteor]

to a point where I've seen more fishtank cases than the classic tower

[queen briar]

fire your engingeers

[tropic relic]

wtf

[queen briar]

what in gods green earth

9/10

[worthy meteor]

enthoo pro knockoff looking cases smh

[queen briar]

the mini fridges

[potent robin]

Mine's by no means profesionnaly wired, especially since i just have external fans connected to my 3090 sitting on top of it

[queen briar]

thsoe are standard thermaltake cases. its been like that for 15 years

[potent robin]

But yeah, very spacious

[queen briar]

idk who authorized this

[idle nexus]

wym View71 is a legend lol

[queen briar]

absolutely not

[worthy meteor]

iirc it was phanteks that started with the reallly big eatx cases, I know the original enthoo pro is at least 10 years old

[queen briar]

i agree

[potent robin]

So.... preventing dust is.... somehow no longer an issue?

those open spec cases are just magnets for house dust

[idle nexus]

View71 does have the downside of 2-slot vertical GPU mount tho

[idle nexus]

okay this is kinda silly but it has VESA mount

[queen briar]

6/10

[idle nexus]

which is like kinda cool ig

[tropic relic]

"The Tower"

[idle nexus]

Tower 900 is so ridiculously massive lol

[tropic relic]

very creative name

[queen briar]

no, you wanna see massive? check out my case

[tropic relic]

oops

thats a damn server not a pc

[potent robin]

I like my View because it favors people with large amounts of physical storage

[queen briar]

its a dual system Case

[worthy meteor]

I'm using a hyte reovlt 3 rn, probably what popularized the mini fridges lol

[idle nexus]

this goes kinda hard tho ngl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIvOjoC8VT8

200mm fans are the 26 inch rims of PCs

[queen briar]

my core 71 coming with 2 200mm fans was funny to me

[worthy meteor]

H500 series with 2x200mms still looks nice to me

[idle nexus]

storage is so stupid expensive now. Even serverpartsdeals.com aren't deals anymore

backblaze stats have convinced me 10 year old ebay hgst drives are more reliable than half the drives on the market xd

[idle nexus]

I need to take the time to figure out how SAS can connect

my Z690 Dark Kingpin has some weird connection I never utilized

[tropic relic]

[idle nexus]

It's a U.2 connection

I looked it up lol

[idle nexus]

supposedly he was gonna start working with PNY but ig it fell thru or something

[nocturne flicker]

I've still got one kicking

[worthy meteor]

wonder if they are even still benching stuff, I remember seening them on GN doing smth else

[nocturne flicker]

Slow as heck but it works

[tropic relic]

im gonna buy a y70 touch case

[worthy meteor]

the reliability stats are crazy on them lol

[idle nexus]

last time I was paying attention, he was overclocking electric bikes lol

[tropic relic]

im gonna make a 3060 ddr4 build with i7 intel

and pop a hyperion case on it

[worthy meteor]

yea that's what I remember seeing lol

[tropic relic]

and im gonna ask people what they think of it

[idle nexus]

no seriously https://www.youtube.com/@AllAboutKingpin/videos

there's this from 5 years ago but pretty sure they were in a more recent video doing the same thing lol

[idle nexus]

as long as it's the 12gb version

[tropic relic]

it was a jok

joke

[tacit geode]

nvidia is a joke

[tropic relic]

you are missing the biggest joke here

[idle nexus]

lol like the way my 3070 has aged

[tacit geode]

aged like fine milk at room temp

[idle nexus]

are those still like $800 or something wild?

[tropic relic]

500-600$

[tacit geode]

my 3090 kingpin feels premium

[lone mango]

tru...

idk how man but those guys are just different

[tropic relic]

man the v100 does look good

and its like 60 buck

[tacit geode]

backblaze iss great for backups

[idle nexus]

I mean it looks nice but not $500 nice

[tropic relic]

is this 400 nice

😭

[idle nexus]

I mean... if it's not it's at least close lol

if you're into billboards on your PC ig

[tropic relic]

the nontouch looks tuff too if you dont like the 200$ ips screen

[idle nexus]

it's like Time Square on that PC

[tacit geode]

for just sstoring that much

thats not bad

[idle nexus]

but it doesn't come with PowerPoint or Co-Pilot

[tropic relic]

210$

[idle nexus]

I hate OneDrive lol

[tacit geode]

one drive is a joke

i rather store my data on my cats collar with a flashdrive

than

use onedrive

[tropic relic]

h6 flow premium

[idle nexus]

I've always kinda wondered how cases without front fans can do well thermally tbh

but I'm no scientist

[tropic relic]

i dont think it will change much if you have good airflow

[nocturne flicker]

So you wouldn't use onedrive as a replacement for one drive

[tacit geode]

nope

XD

[tropic relic]

v100 is like

definitely 60$ nice

[tacit geode]

I still love the way this turned out

nv9 mk2

[tropic relic]

is that 2 liquid cooling radiators

[tacit geode]

one on 5090 one on cpu

[tropic relic]

5090..

yeah that makes sense

[tacit geode]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Jx9Jxf

[tropic relic]

but why did you spend that much on agpu

[tacit geode]

wasnt me

a family member asked me to build it

and iim waiting for them to pick it up

[tropic relic]

3700$

man

[tacit geode]

tho they're not returning calls

i paid 0$

they paid for all the parts and had it shipped to my house so lol

[tropic relic]

7000$

and isnt returning calls

chalk it

[tacit geode]

well hes known to do this

the oled he gave me same thing

he finally said "get the picture"

but this im not letting him

[tropic relic]

i thought about getting something stronger

like a 5080

but i just cant see how its worth it

[dusk knot]

Damn…..you really improved your build……

Everything just works

[tropic relic]

the 5090 pumps are kind of ugly

but otherwise it looks really nic

nice

i really hope it doessnt end up mine

If it was mine i wouldve done an air cooled gpu

[deep parcel]

he then says, nah nevermind I dont like how it looks, you keep it

[tropic relic]

7000$ he better take it

[tacit geode]

time to sell it

8500$

[deep parcel]

nah the gpu alone will be worth 5k sometime soon

[tacit geode]

ram too

all praise our ai overlords

oh wait too early

[deep parcel]

nah thats just 32gb it will be worth like 500

I have 64gb that is actually worth 1k right now lol

[tacit geode]

eh

[tropic relic]

wait i need to boost the psu to a century 2 1050w

the gigabye 5080 is so clean

[deep parcel]

just the ram alone is almost worth what I paid for my cpu, mobo, and ram combined lol.

[tacit geode]

you cant go based off new

yeah I know just comparing to when I bought it lol
