I hope they remake the first game

Ironically rn i only trust capcom to make good games in the coming days

And fromsoft

[bitter ridge]

You should add remedy to that

[nocturne flicker]

Weren't you just disappointed with MH Wilds a couple months ago

[misty sparrow]

They just got a CEO from EA

[nocturne flicker]

Bro went from Dragon's Dogma 2 and MH Wilds big disappointments to Capcom is our only hope after playing RE

[opaque sedge]

Thats why i said ironically

[misty sparrow]

peanut guy was right about big arch burger ngl

it was good

[opaque sedge]

Idk who to trust more

The ceo who was “eating” the burger with absolute disgust

Or a damn peanut

[misty sparrow]

the peanut

[opaque sedge]

Who’s prolly a slobbery fat guy

[misty sparrow]

he has nothing to lose by dissing McDonald’s

[opaque sedge]

I think i can make a better burger at home 💀

[nocturne flicker]

You can

Even if you do cheapo ingredients

The upfront will be higher but the individual servings will be cheaper

[opaque sedge]

Yeah imma just go to aldi grab like 20 bucks worth of stuff

[worthy meteor]

McDonalds is using $3 of ingredients instead of $1 for once

[random osprey]

get $20 worth of ingredients to make 1 burger cause you only want 1 burger and let the rest of the ingredients rot

[nocturne flicker]

You sound like my mother

[opaque sedge]

U can make other things with the remaining ingredients

[random osprey]

what am i gonna do with the other 39 slices of cheese?

[acoustic palm]

Eat em

[nocturne flicker]

Make sandwich. Cheesy eggs. Grilled cheese

[opaque sedge]

Buy a wedge of cheese use it shredded

[random osprey]

i dont eat any of that, only needed cheese for borger

[opaque sedge]

Not slices

Most people eat burgers without cheese btw

[random osprey]

im not most people

[opaque sedge]

U are now

[nocturne flicker]

Did you just suggest using shredded cheese on a burger

[random osprey]

cause im not eating normal borger, im eating cheese borger

[opaque sedge]

It can work

Dammit i want a burger now

I dont even like burgers much

[nocturne flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/gordon-ramsay-chef-what-are-you-an-idiot-sandwich-angry-gif-15932878

Crumbled blue cheese or feta is stretching it, shredded is unacceptable

Unless you mix it in the meat

Then I'll tolerate

[lone mango]

You can get smaller packs

[nocturne flicker]

At that point you aren't going to taste the beef

[lone mango]

For me though the wasteful part is the bun

I just don't eat burgers enough to justify getting them

[nocturne flicker]

You'll just taste the toasted cheese

Because once you brown the cheese it has a stronger flavor

[opaque sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/smile-monkey-orangutan-smiliong-orangutan-ape-gif-21939747

[lone mango]

Plus the buns have a bunch of whatever the hell in them too

Post industrial processing has ruined buns

[random osprey]

what am i suppose to do with the other 19 slices of cheese?

[nocturne flicker]

Mac and cheese

[lone mango]

There are even smaller ones

And those smaller ones will last long enough to where you can have them later

Plus, you can just eat them like cheese sticks or something idk

[acoustic palm]

Eat them

[nocturne flicker]

If you are doing American once you slip it in the fridge it'll be forever cheese

It'll go hard before it even starts to mold

The power of processed cheese products

So terrible not even molds want to be involved

[sand hill]

serious topic and maybe a question
i'm gonna cut to the chase, i been wanting to have a pc like have some parts (i didn;t bother showing unless i can show you again but let me know) but i course i don't know if they're the best or not, hell i even show them to my mom and others and said it better off i could get a prebuilt instead but why? i know what i like and can understand that most are gonna be expenisve no thanks to that stupid garbage openai, i didn't put them in the cart for nothing? and my brother ask why do i want the parts? and to be honest........ i really don't know, problably how i like them? i know it;s gonna need more than that there, but are the parts really good? and what about the prebuilt? is it possbile i can change it before buying?

i really need an answer here an HONEST REAL answer about pc parts being good and pc prebuilt as well

[worthy meteor]

Most prebuilts end up using off the shelf parts and then add a surcharge for labor and processing, it's the part choice and the price that matters

[sand hill]

i see..... and is it possible i can customize it too? and what about the parts? again i have them in my cart and if you want to see it just say it

screw it here, like it matters anyway

[nocturne flicker]

Made to order prebuilts will have customization options, OEMs will have options on specs to choose from, random listings for prebuilts on Amazon or Wegg will have little to no customization

[sand hill]

wait are you saying it's possible to customize it? even on new egg? like change the rtx? tb, etc?

[lone mango]

Man those ram prices are so brutal

[nocturne flicker]

No. I mean certain prebuilt makers make the prebuilts to order specifications. They are usually more expensive and host their own websites

[sand hill]

nevermind...... i just want those part, is it too much to ask? oh wait..... it is..... no thanks to that stupid useless garbage openai that nobody ask but we got it anyway.......

[lone mango]

Well

[sand hill]

hm?

[lone mango]

https://tenor.com/view/it-is-what-it-is-it-is-eet-eet-iz-iz-gif-17896182

[sand hill]

of course......i really wish openai including chatgpt never exist.......

[nocturne flicker]

Companies like iBuyPower, CyberPower, that one company that ships everything in a wooden crate

[lone mango]

Yeah you chose a pretty bad time

[sand hill]

that i waited long enough until ai took over and ruin everything? sure.......

[sand hill]

atleast i wanna know if this is the best one at the VERY least before i manage to get them (if possoble)

[velvet summit]

Origin

Origin is probably the most overpriced out of all of the SI's though

They tend to be like a grand more than diy more or less

At least last I checked

[sand hill]

i'm still waiting about this and while that, i'm wondering what the reason the pc parts are the best like my brother said (he ask why i want them) and is it possible that those parts could break?

[obtuse pike]

did someone actually bought from jawa? is it legit?

[lone mango]

I'm actually about to list my computer on there

They are legit

[obtuse pike]

great, im just trying to find some aio coolers there xd

[velvet summit]

I don't need to even look at the parts to tell you that there is 100% a chance for any PC components to break randomly no matter how expensive it is

Even 20k usd cpus can fail randomly

Which is why you keep spares in a high availability environment

Spare drives, spare power supplies, spare motherboards, spare ram, spare fans, spare cpus, spare gpus, spare wiring.... Etc.

Datacenters tend to have tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of components waiting to be used for repair

[sand hill]

what......are you saying that any of parts can break any moment? even like no reason or out of nowhere?

[velvet summit]

Yes

Though you do have warranty

Most parts have 3 year warranty minimum

Stuff like ram tends to have lifetime warranty

Only thing that I don't think has 3 years that often would be like fans, but the main 3 things (cpu mobo GPU) usually has 3 years or more

[sand hill]

wait i got so many questions, is it i don't know rare that pc parts can break? even you know how to build them?

[sand hill]

i left it here and also how and maybe why they break?

[velvet summit]

They break due to manufacturing defects typically

[sand hill]

manufacturing what?

i need more and specic answer there

[velvet summit]

Making electronics is a very precise thing and it's very easy to make a defective product in some form or manner, that passes their quality control

Asides from PSU failure, most component failure won't destroy the rest of the pc

[sand hill]

ok then but it's rare or something?

[sand hill]

what about those parts i show?

[lone mango]

You are overspending

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HxC3FP

[velvet summit]

It's.... not too rare for one or 2 components on a new build to have issues

[lone mango]

The case is different but just replace it with the one on your list

pcpartpicker does not have the n3

[velvet summit]

Though there is some bias in this answer due to the majority of people that have issues with their build would mention it

And also I've experienced some

[lone mango]

True

I have not left any reviews for the things I bought

And they all work great

[sand hill]

oh god......and i guess it doesn;t matter if you too careful building it or anything like that?

[velvet summit]

Yeah
But the difference is you can get a free replacement if it isn't your fault

So it's not really a concern

[sand hill]

jesus god..... i wish it's rare that it can happen but this? this is worse then i expected it, i mean i want those parts ever since but this? no and worse i don't know if prebuilt are good are they?

like is it possible i can customize at the very least?

[velvet summit]

Some can

[velvet summit]

It's probably pretty rare

[lone mango]

He is just saying it is a non zero chance of happening, but the odds of you getting burned is really really really low

[velvet summit]

But I definitely can't say that they definitely won't fail

[lone mango]

Should probably add another really

Like super low

[sand hill]

oh....nevermind but glad to hear

[proud jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/cyberpunk-cyberpunk-anime-lucy-cyberpunk-edgerunners-smoking-gif-26728461

[velvet summit]

Again, even if it fails, you have warrant

Y

[sand hill]

but still about this? what about this one? i still want this and hope it doesn;'t break (atleast i'll be careful of what i do)

[lone mango]

.

[velvet summit]

Like I said, its a matter of luck

[lone mango]

This saves you a few hundred

[sand hill]

i'll look at that later

[lone mango]

Bro stop scaring big dog 🙏

The odds are low enough to where you can assume you will be ok

[lone mango]

All good

[velvet summit]

It's like catching cancer without smoking

[lone mango]

I matched as many parts as I could

[velvet summit]

You literally don't know 💀

[lone mango]

So the list I sent is almost the same as yours

In fact the ram is slightly faster while still being $30 cheaper

[velvet summit]

I guess I should've just said they have warranty without elaborating

[sand hill]

ok ok let me see if i got this everything

there;s a good chance that any of them could break whether no reason, out of nowhere anything? and of course it's pretty rare yes? and it doesn't matter if i built them carefully? is that right?

[velvet summit]

Not a good chance

It happens but you don't need to worry about it

[sand hill]

of course and it'll be a risk isn;t it?

[nocturne flicker]

Something will break and you will not be able to get a replacement. You will waste money no matter what. RMA process includes free physical damage so the company can reject your request. You will have everything die within 5 years. DIY is pain and suffering frfr

[velvet summit]

It's not a risk because you have warranty

[lone mango]

If it happens, you are pretty unlucky. But, the warranty covers these rare cases

[sand hill]

that's pretty fair

[velvet summit]

The manufacturer guarantees that it will work for a certain amount of years

[sand hill]

i think that's what i need and i;ll check that link again later cause i i want that PNY rtx there

[lone mango]

That 5070 is roughly $55 cheaper on a different website

[velvet summit]

Are those just large dates or really zoomed in

[lone mango]

The list I sent has the pny and the same ram too, but the ram is actually faster

[sand hill]

i see.......

[velvet summit]

I swear all the dates I've seen are like thumb sized or a bit bigger

[lone mango]

Nah some are big

Those are big

[nocturne flicker]

Dates are big man

[velvet summit]

Damn

[nocturne flicker]

Well some are

Some are smol

[sand hill]

ya know what? i;m gonna called newegg and ask about those parts in the cart and see what they said and yes i will check this too and see as well

also one more thing and might be off topic to ask but...... can best buy build pc for you?

[lone mango]

Of course they will say it is, they want you to buy everything from their website

The best deals are from shopping at different places

[sand hill]

ok good and will it cost me or no?

[nocturne flicker]

They have a wide range for size, the most constant thing is their diameter tbh

[velvet summit]

Interesting

[lone mango]

Date analysis is crazy

[nocturne flicker]

Is your date 1 inch or 3 inches

Find out when I pull out a ruler

[velvet summit]

[nocturne flicker]

How else will I measure them

https://tenor.com/view/hispullinhhiskokout-asu-memek-bangsat-gif-24915856

[sand hill]

hey still got a question about best buy builind pc here, wondering if they'll charge or not

[velvet summit]

They definitely do

[sand hill]

oh no like they'll charge me?

[velvet summit]

There's no such thing as a free build service
If they say it's free, it comes with a catch, such as you have to only use components from their store

Build fee is typically around $100 us

Though might be higher nowadays

[lone mango]

I am not sure if best buy has a pc building service

[sand hill]

crap..... and wish they have a free build service but doubt...... maybe i'll ask and see and i hope i get those parts and hope they're fine and hope they don't break, cuase this is worse then i expected

[sand hill]

again, better ask

[sinful blade]

I build, but I charge a $59 build fee:(

[velvet summit]

Geek squad does but might depend on location

[lone mango]

If you are going out of your way about the pc parts then you might as well build it

[lone mango]

I think that's fine

[sand hill]

i admit it yes..... but i'm gonna see

[velvet summit]

You would be underselling yourself a bit though

$60 fee would be more like a friends and family cost

[sinful blade]

I make it up by charging for other stuff

[lone mango]

It looks like they can build some things/help you with your build, but they do not have a building service where you can just come in and have them build all of your parts

[sinful blade]

Ship it to me @sand hill
Trust

[sand hill]

very funny there but i'll fugure out

[velvet summit]

Seems like it used to be $180 but they might not be doing it in locations anymore

[lone mango]

What do you guys think the price should be for a itx system with a 6700 xt + 5600 and 32 gigs

[nocturne flicker]

2

[velvet summit]

Five billion dollars

[lone mango]

It has a very good power supply

[velvet summit]

6 billion dollars

[nocturne flicker]

So do dell pcs but they are still meh

[lone mango]

But that qvo is kinda brutal

Besides that I think this is a good system

[sinful blade]

I mean, before ram hike, $750
Now? $950

[velvet summit]

People buying a used prebuilt prob ain't too familiar with what drives are good
They'll probably see Samsung and assume it'll be great

[lone mango]

You know the crazy part is that I used to have it at 750, then did 700 and nobody bought it for months

I think 850 should sell

[nocturne flicker]

850 fair imo

[lone mango]

The qvo is also used

Mainly cold storage though

[velvet summit]

🤓 technically it's not cold storage because it's not disconnected from the system

[nocturne flicker]

Technically it's not cold storage because it ain't cold

[lone mango]

yeah yeah... rock and stone....

[velvet summit]

The entire circus

[lone mango]

Top comment goes hard

Such an intel moment that they were the first to start using avx512, but it went so poorly that they took it away and amd is actually the one that is progressing here

Zen 4, 5, and 6 all improve on it

[nocturne flicker]

Ryzen 10950X3D shall finally achieve 60fps stable in PS3 emulation

[lone mango]

I thought zen 4 already did it pretty well

Actually I think it still stuttered but idk if that has to do with the cpu or the emulation at that time

[nocturne flicker]

I dunno tbh, I haven't kept up with PS3 emulation in a while

[lone mango]

But zen 4 split avx512 across two cycles, zen 5 is able to do it completely in one cycle and doubled zen 4's throughput

It also maintains high frequencies

[nocturne flicker]

Supposedly people have gotten stuff at a stable 60 all the way back in 11th gen iirc but that seemed sus

[lone mango]

Zen 6 goes even further with more instructions and higher clocks

[lone mango]

I do not trust those people

Well I guess it depends on the game

Gran turismo is NOT gonna be stable

[nocturne flicker]

Infamous 2 was the one I remember

[lone mango]

Oh wow actually zen 5 could maintain peak boosts on avx512

That is impressive

If only the radeon team was capable like them

[nocturne flicker]

That thing stutters at 40fps on my system, which is why I always thought the claimed 60 fps was sus

[misty sparrow]

for one?

Barely used a quarter of the ingredients

Still have 5 buns 2 lbs of meat left

You know what, they were running gimped roms and/or with broken features to get it stable at 40 or so fps

One of the videos for the 11900k was getting 35-40fps with low quality textures and broken water textures

[lone mango]

[nocturne flicker]

And then they claimed that since it peaked at 60fps once or twice it was running at 60fps

[lone mango]

No wonder people were getting zen 4 just for rpcs3

what yall think

the odds of someone paying 60 is pretty low so probably fedex

[velvet summit]

60?

[nocturne flicker]

Why bother, USPS is pretty much the same as Fedex Ground based on that, except cheaper.

Fedex ain't going to actually deliver in 1 day

[lone mango]

fedex is a little faster the couple times i have used them

id do usps ground advantage

anything but fedex

FedEx faster?

Did you know Gene Roddenberry made lyrics to the Star Trek theme purely to exploit a loophole in the contract for the theme so that he'd personally get half the royalties for the use of the song?

[opaque sedge]

Jesus man whats with the artistic folks high up in the industry being eerily knowledgeable abt law 😭

Like did they spend their youth bettering their art or learning law

[acoustic palm]

they learn history

[nocturne flicker]

Nah, see the contract stated that if Roddenberry wrote lyrics, he could get royalties. So he immediately proceeded to exploit it

[acoustic palm]

law and history and politics are close

[rancid juniper]

cool ig

[nocturne flicker]

Alex Courage left after Roddenberry told him he was going to try and profit off of TOS any way he could and only ever came back to TOS when Roddenberry was no longer in charge. And then the rest of his work on Star Trek stuff was only due to Jerry Goldsmith personally asking Courage to work on it with him

I have windows 10 and 11 on my computer but I haven’t used it in a long time

[opaque sedge]

Genuinely wondering why didn’t microsoft just backtrack on pushing windows 11 so hard when there were so many people still using 10 till not a long time ago

[lone mango]

I made a small 11 iot install for something but forgot, and it only takes up like 150 gigs. Might as well delete it and use 10 for the rare time I have to boot into windows

Lowk might delete it entirely

[sand hill]

ok now i got a serious question, is there a prebuilt pc that HAS a PNY RTX 5070 and maybe a 4tb and sata?

i don't mind a reply as long someone got the answer

[velvet summit]

why pny specifically

[sand hill]

oh boy where do i begin? isn't it the best one?

[acoustic palm]

i mean... you can probably find one... but if you want specific go for a custom build

[acoustic palm]

well its also a 5070... its probably gonna be terribly priced, and if you want a specific model theres a good chance its gonna overpriced on top of that

[sand hill]

and for that you mean......a pc part?

[sand hill]

left this here if you didn't saw it

and here's this i like

[acoustic palm]

wdym a pc part

[acoustic palm]

for 700$ youre scamming yourself

[sand hill]

what?

[acoustic palm]

that gpu is not worth 700$

[sand hill]

and this i have parts i want for a pc

[sand hill]

and are you kidding me? isn't this the best?

[misty sparrow]

if this is USD then this is too high for a 5070

[acoustic palm]

model barely matters

[misty sparrow]

hell nah

[acoustic palm]

and also, its a 5070. 5070 is not good

[sand hill]

then what's the best atleast?

[misty sparrow]

good if you can get it for a good price

[acoustic palm]

best wwhat

[sand hill]

the rtx come on

[acoustic palm]

which is... under 600

[misty sparrow]

the best one is a 5090

but that is $3000

[acoustic palm]

4000$

[misty sparrow]

then it's the 5080 which is like $1500

then the 5070Ti

and then the 5070

[acoustic palm]

actually that one is 1250

[sand hill]

least i'm going with that ony there even it's....... that price

[acoustic palm]

basically

avoid nvidia if you want a new gpu

the prices are horrible

[misty sparrow]

amd is getting shit too

[acoustic palm]

less shit tho

[misty sparrow]

really its just find anything good in your desired price range

[sand hill]

i don't want to avoid them i want them to play the rtx half life 2 and portal rtx

[misty sparrow]

buy used

[acoustic palm]

5070 is more expensive than a 9070 still

[acoustic palm]

youre acting like amd cards cant do raytracing

[sand hill]

if it wasn't for the stupid openai maybe the price won't go high

[acoustic palm]

well the stupid openai happened

so if you want a new pc you gotta deal with those prices

[sand hill]

i'm aware and by the way all of this stupid openai made everything worse like this stupid ai image or that...... urgh....... sora.......

[nocturne flicker]

We are the tech peasants, we are aware

[velvet summit]

realistically, there is not really any actual difference between the quality of different companies for a gpu, unless it's one with a bad cooler (but you can tell it's a bad cooler by how small it is compared to every other company)

[sand hill]

oh my god.....

[lone mango]

Check that list I sent. It saves you a lot of money

Get the list and build it yourself. You’ll learn a lot

[acoustic palm]

just make sure that list is like up to date for today

since prices change a lot

[lone mango]

Look up guides online and ask us for help if needed

[lone mango]

True

I made it today and tried to match as much as I could from the original newegg build

[heady plinth]

Ssd prices in particular are super volatile.

[sand hill]

will it involve the prebuilt?

[acoustic palm]

as long as that didnt make it any more expensive i mean yeah why not

[lone mango]

Well I did it because of being super specific about the parts for whatever reason

[acoustic palm]

huh

[lone mango]

But some parts I did change

Since they were cheaper

[sand hill]

gotta do this again this time with reply and again will it invove prebuilt?

[acoustic palm]

@sand hill i would not be picky about parts at all

[sand hill]

yes i'm aware about that

[acoustic palm]

prices are too high on everything to be picky about stuff

[lone mango]

No prebuilt. That’s why I made a list for you

[gleaming sedge]

simple just dont build. no point with the costs of it

[acoustic palm]

^

[sand hill]

that's gonna be a problem, my brother told me to get a prebuilt instead

[acoustic palm]

well

just build it

its cheaper

[lone mango]

Is this your computer?

[sand hill]

tell that to my mom and brother

[gleaming sedge]

ewww oh god even worse

[lone mango]

Then build it yourself anyways, regardless, because it is cheaper and you need every saving you can get in this economy

[acoustic palm]

"Hi 'Music-Note Manga' mother and brother, building a pc will be cheaper than a prebuilt. you also get higher quality parts and have a great experience."

[sand hill]

if you meant this then yes

[acoustic palm]

OH

[sand hill]

and very funny there

[acoustic palm]

I REMEMBER YOU

yeah basically everything you chose is stupid expensive

thats why the prebuilt looks cheaper

[lone mango]

popped in here multiple times over a year or so

Chose a bad time to commit to the build

[acoustic palm]

yyup

i got mine last march

and now im gonna downsize it before cases get expensive

[sand hill]

of course....... is there any good prebuilt pc i can find on newegg?

[lone mango]

Feel free to optimize https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HxC3FP

[gleaming sedge]

nope

almost no such thing as a good prebuilt

[queen briar]

Annd... im back

[sand hill]

let me guess, no prebuilt?

[queen briar]

took a full week to move one pc to another case

[acoustic palm]

2 4tb drives??? why

[gleaming sedge]

do a 3060 12gb you will run just fine

[lone mango]

I have told you multiple times no. Build it yourself and save every dollar you can

[sand hill]

of course......

[acoustic palm]

is there any reason for 8tb of storage

[lone mango]

Idk the original list had a 4tb nvme and 4 tb sata, so I just did two nvme since jt is cheaper

And faster

[acoustic palm]

8tb feels super overkill for like anything

[sand hill]

is it bad for it?

[gleaming sedge]

i mean good god you want to run almost 20 year old games rtx, you do not need a 50 series.

[acoustic palm]

its expensive for no reason

[gleaming sedge]

no but you are wasting so so so much money

[sand hill]

nevrmind

[acoustic palm]

theres quite literally no reason to have 8tb in storage

[velvet summit]

i mean

[acoustic palm]

im speaking from experience

[gleaming sedge]

ive had 500gb for a year then a 4tb for 2 and i have yet to fill either

[velvet summit]

kinda

[acoustic palm]

and keep in mind

[lone mango]

That is true, I have 4 tb and have games and months of video footage. Only two tb is used total across windows and linux

[acoustic palm]

i keep ALL my games downloaded

[queen briar]

this is a lie

[acoustic palm]

that is a lie

there is ALMOST no reason to have 8tb for a normal person

[gleaming sedge]

my plex server that stores movies and shows only has 4tb and not even 1/4 full

[queen briar]

oh, you right

i have 10tb but then again, im not normal.

[lone mango]

I was just trying to make the original list cheaper

[tacit geode]

lol

[lone mango]

But realistically you can just have the 4 tb drive

[acoustic palm]

@sand hill what exactly are you using your pc for again

is it just gaming...?

[queen briar]

my 4tb is exclusively games

[sand hill]

it's more downloading games and all, nothing much

[gleaming sedge]

they said mainly rtx half life 2 and portal. so 20 year old games

[acoustic palm]

ok just get a 2tb drive then

[velvet summit]

well, you're honestly right about 8tb being more storage (on a desktop) than you would ever need, because you should really never store large amount of data on a desktop pc

[lone mango]

You can get away with 2 then

[lone mango]

[sand hill]

maybe i would

[velvet summit]

if you need more than 4tb of storage, you should be looking into getting a NAS and using RAID 5 or 6

[gleaming sedge]

i mean itd be fine if you did

[acoustic palm]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Dsw9W9

[queen briar]

my drives

[tacit geode]

i have more htan 6 games installed but damn

[velvet summit]

technically fine, but a terrible idea due to high risk of data loss from malware or accidental deletion and no redundancy

[misty sparrow]

to be fair its kind of cut off

[nocturne flicker]

8tb never enough. Must hoard more data

The tbs must never end

[lone mango]

Keep the original rgb ram. I think he wants rgb and also 6400 stable is gambling

[sand hill]

look like i'll figure out myself......

[queen briar]

the last one is my Game drive, which is 4tb.

[gleaming sedge]

sounds like a very much them problem

[acoustic palm]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MhC3FP still cheaper and little difference

[acoustic palm]

buying a pc right now is a terrible idea. buying a prebuilt is an even more terrible idea.

[gleaming sedge]

if they care about data their server which is not really any different than a desktop pc will fall under the same problems

[lone mango]

How much was cl30 bin again? 400 right

[gleaming sedge]

got it spend all the money for things that are not needed. sounds like a clueless teen with mommy and daddys money to me

[acoustic palm]

yeah

[sand hill]

again..... tell that to my brother and my mom

[acoustic palm]

ok looking at similar prebuilts youre looking at over 2k for the same specs or worse

[gleaming sedge]

tell them to go shove it, they want you to have one then they can fund it simple as that

[sand hill]

right maybe i;ll said it but no i ain't gonna do that

[acoustic palm]

"Hi 'Music-Note Manga' brother and mom, if he was to get a prebuilt hed be spending 500$ more to get worse quality parts. Building a pc is very easy and will not take loing with simple video instruction."

[lone mango]

30 is a good chunk, but a small relative decrease in the grand scheme of things

[gleaming sedge]

chicken

[lone mango]

Maybe if ram was cheaper it would be better

[acoustic palm]

remember sub 100$ 32gb

[velvet summit]

for important data, you should always use the 3-2-1 backup rule, but even for relatively annoying to replace data, it is best to store on a NAS
a proper nas typically is less likely to have data loss in case of a ransomware attack, or drive failure, and software RAID uses cpu so you also don't really want to do parity calculations on your main pc if you're using RAID

[sand hill]

ah jesus...... i wish those parts that in my cart can be prebuilt.......

[queen briar]

my internet is slow...

[acoustic palm]

no offense but what are you even worried about

[queen briar]

wait, i didnt even check if my motherboard needs an update

[acoustic palm]

it takes like... maybe 2 hours for your first time ever building?

[lone mango]

Yup my 6400 kit was 100 at mc lol

[sand hill]

possibly how expenive gonna be perhaps

[lone mango]

Exactly 1 year ago

[acoustic palm]

i got my 7800x3d + mobo + ram for 500

[acoustic palm]

wdym

[lone mango]

You need to do it. Convince them by telling them they can save a lot of money

[acoustic palm]

over $500

[gleaming sedge]

not really a great way for the 3-2-1 rule but yea plus a ransomware attack realistically is like 1 in a million

[sand hill]

i need to figure out tho.

[sand hill]

and that? i really wish i have the answer but the answer is...... i don't know and i wish i do

[gleaming sedge]

then DONT BUILD ONE right now

[lone mango]

Just show them the pcppartpicker list and your list. Easy

They’ll see the difference and be like

Damn ok

[acoustic palm]

no like i have no idea what youre saying

[sand hill]

i'll see and try and is it possible that pcpartpciker have prebuilt too?

[lone mango]

Dawg

[sand hill]

what i'm saying is i don't know, i just don't know

[acoustic palm]

dont know what

[sand hill]

about what's the best pc that's it

[lone mango]

Pcpartpicker is only for parts

[acoustic palm]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MhC3FP <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

[gleaming sedge]

sadly not really, they dont include half unplugged wires and spending hours trouble shooting them in the pcpartpicker

[sand hill]

of course......

[acoustic palm]

are you worried about building it?

[sand hill]

maybe, and perhaps breaking it

[lone mango]

He thinks it will break

[gleaming sedge]

dont be stupid and it wont break

[acoustic palm]

uh

[lone mango]

The odds are very low man

[gleaming sedge]

watch some youtube and its easy as pie

[velvet summit]

the NAS is just 1 copy of the 3 that you should have (2nd could be stored on your pc)
also sure a ransomware attack might not be the most common thing, but in most cases that you are storing over 4tb of files, it's typically files that you don't want lost for any reason, so the less risk you have, the better (and obviously have another form or 2 of backup)

or in the case of media (movies/tv shows/etc), you want it to be accessible from multiple devices, of which a NAS is typically on 24/7 and your desktop is turned off for most people

[sand hill]

look what answer do you want? i'm upset and sorry if i'm being rude. it's just i don't know anymore......

[gleaming sedge]

probably have a higher chance of breaking your neck doing it than breaking a part

[acoustic palm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vl1hd9vlqA

[lone mango]

[acoustic palm]

what is the exact reason that you want a prebuilt?

[sand hill]

can i just end this topic? i need to figure out and this? i just want a pc that run the game better, that's it

[gleaming sedge]

unless your doing a das that runs off a pc to work as a das because you were not blessed with the silverspoon to afford a nas

[queen briar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lmfF0k2UcU

[velvet summit]

you can literally make a nas out of an old office pc

[acoustic palm]

ima be so honest, if you already have a pc dont upgrade. its a HORRIBLE time to upgrade. just use what you have

[gleaming sedge]

like i just said oh my lordy

[sand hill]

of course......

[acoustic palm]

yes

[gleaming sedge]

das+pc=nas omg can you believe it

[acoustic palm]

everything is hundreds of dollars more than what it used to be

[gleaming sedge]

pc+harddrives=nas

[gleaming sedge]

welcome to life kiddo

[lone mango]

I have told some other people the same thing. It’s a terrible time to commit to the build

[acoustic palm]

AHHHHHHHHH

the gas prices haunt my nightmares 🙁

[gleaming sedge]

sorry wrong person to call kiddo my bad

[acoustic palm]

no i am a kiddo

[pliant berry]

it ain't that expensive. I run like 3 servers and all of them together cost less than my pc which isn't even that great a pc anyway

[acoustic palm]

im 17

[sand hill]

i don;t know what to say, i'm gonna stop talking

[lone mango]

It was still worse a few years ago

[gleaming sedge]

i though manga man said it and was calling them a kid with how they are acting

[velvet summit]

the most expensive part of a NAS is just the drives

[gleaming sedge]

oh boy i wouldnt get these kind of people started on that

[acoustic palm]

i didnt have a car a few years ago

[velvet summit]

it's probably gonna get worse 💀

[acoustic palm]

yup

[lone mango]

Well to be fair, you have been holding off on it for a really long time. Might as well hold off till like next year

[acoustic palm]

i got my parents to cover the costs 🙂

[gleaming sedge]

also depends what type a actual nas costs a pretty penny

[lone mango]

Good

[acoustic palm]

since theyd be driving for that stuff either way, and its less time they have to spend driving me around

[gleaming sedge]

oh well nothing can do about it. hopfully by the time i get put in a tin can by 60 i wont have to worry about it

[acoustic palm]

and in some cases its cheaper if im going to a friends house

[velvet summit]

i'm just saying a nas in general, it doesn't have to be a nas enclosure specifically

even a raspberry pi could technically work though not really recommended since it is a little too underpowered

plus barely any io

[gleaming sedge]

plus no true good way to use it outside of your house

since who ever set up the internet is the dumbest person on the planet and has no clue how to do a single thing correct or with common sense

[acoustic palm]

who can say whats right or wrong when the thing doesnt even exist

[velvet summit]

i mean, there is, just use uhhh tailscale i think was the name

[gleaming sedge]

i can say it needs a MAJOR overhaul

[acoustic palm]

i can say that i have no idea what im talking about and im pulling stuff outta my ass

[velvet summit]

to be fair, the internet was pretty much designed and not changed much since like the 80s or whatever

[gleaming sedge]

that a ehh way of doing it really. still means jumping through millions of hoops

[velvet summit]

ipv4 wasnt really designed to be used by like 10 billion devices or whatever

a fair bit of IoT applications have switched to using IPv6 due to there being basically unlimited addresses

[acoustic palm]

what happens when ipv6 isnt enough

ipv8?

[velvet summit]

realistically? it would never happen

[gleaming sedge]

like i should have to almost master degree in coding to just safley set up sonarr, radarr and a minecraft server

[acoustic palm]

uhhhh

but what if

[velvet summit]

ipv6 was designed shortly after ipv4 because the designers of ipv4 realized quickly that ipv4 was definitely not enough

[acoustic palm]

hear me out

[velvet summit]

and ipv6 fixed basically all of ipv4's issues

[acoustic palm]

in the distant future we take control of the galaxy

and ipv6 runs out

what happens

[velvet summit]

we'd hopefully not be using IP any more

[acoustic palm]

you must be really fun at parties

[velvet summit]

i honestly can't really imagine ipv6 being depleted

[acoustic palm]

but what IF

what IF it DID

[velvet summit]

The addresses are then typically distributed in /48 to /56 sized blocks to the end users.[23] IPv6 addresses are assigned to organizations in much larger blocks as compared to IPv4 address assignments—the recommended allocation is a /48 block which contains 280 addresses, being 248 or about 2.8×1014 times larger than the entire IPv4 address space of 232 addresses and about 7.2×1016 times larger than the /8 blocks of IPv4 addresses, which are the largest allocations of IPv4 addresses. The total pool, however, is sufficient for the foreseeable future, because there are 2128 (exactly 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456; or about 3.4×1038, or 340 undecillion) unique IPv6 addresses.

[lone mango]

Yeah it’s called tailscale

[gleaming sedge]

but then the worthless people cant hack and steal from others that way they can live high and glory off other peoples hard work since they are just to lazy to do anything with their worthless life

[gleaming sedge]

and still not ideal

[acoustic palm]

what happens when theres 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,457 devices

[velvet summit]

we blow up ig

[acoustic palm]

kaboom

[gleaming sedge]

that would be ideal

[lone mango]

What is

[acoustic palm]

https://klipy.com/gifs/buh-6

[acoustic palm]

the only ideal thing is an fd rx7

amen

[gleaming sedge]

a internet design that i do not need a masters degree in coding to safley do anything with a home server

[velvet summit]

tailscale makes you be able to make LAN devices safely accessible outside of your home without port forwarding

[lone mango]

Tailscale is easy to use

[velvet summit]

it's far more secure than the average homelabber can harden their own network

[lone mango]

Sotru…

[acoustic palm]

or a 2jz swapped miata

[lone mango]

Just have a spare bottle of oil

[royal crow]

Used that to get on to motors mc server a while back

[velvet summit]

you can make a diesel do its own oil change by having it burn a little oil and having a fresh oil tank slowly replenish the oil burnt frfr

[gleaming sedge]

maybe but not you are adding in another app that adds a spot to get hacked

[royal crow]

Gave my internet backshots tho

[acoustic palm]

omg

fire idea

and were putting that all in a miata

cause

https://klipy.com/gifs/na-bro-what-the-hell

[gleaming sedge]

until it is not and does not work with what you are doing

along with no good documentation

[lone mango]

Have you tried using tailscale or are you just saying thjs

[velvet summit]

i just realized that might be a real thing somebody did
i thought it was ai generated but then realized that they probably just made that out of like cardboard or whatever and put it on top of the actual headlights
(unless i've been bamboozled and this is actually ai)

[gleaming sedge]

i have looked into setting it up

[velvet summit]

dear god

i do not want this car to be behind me

at night

[acoustic palm]

freakiata

[gleaming sedge]

was not worth the headache even though i really want sonarr running but doing that is a major pain in the butt in its self

[velvet summit]

how does the radiator breath enough to stay cool

[acoustic palm]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/188192094455 and here, an ls swapped miata

[velvet summit]

a mere 10 grand

[gleaming sedge]

and again i should not have to use a app some rando made just do something safely.

[velvet summit]

can you even still call that a miata
i feel like this is like a ship of thesus situation

[lone mango]

Bro what

[velvet summit]

i feel like every part of the miata has been swapped out asides from the windshield

[lone mango]

Tailscale is not some random shit

[misty sparrow]

what did i just find

legendary pull

[velvet summit]

rando???

History

[pliant berry]

[velvet summit]

i remember hearing about them trying to bring it back for like hybrids or something

[lone mango]

Skyactiv is pretty impressive. Efficient engines

[queen briar]

i just finished setting it up.. i didnt wanna have to reseat it

[lone mango]

Mazda3 is a great car

[velvet summit]

oh they actually released it, i didn't even know

[lone mango]

Unrelated but in gt7 you can rotary swap the mazda3

[lone mango]

Interesting

[velvet summit]

i honestly thought it was just a concept idea that was never coming to market

[gleaming sedge]

still not great documentation between that and things like sonarr and radarr

[acoustic palm]

im drooling

[velvet summit]

DAMN

[acoustic palm]

in a 14k car

wth

yo guys this might be the solution to the gas crisis

[queen briar]

wait, quok is 14?

[lone mango]

[acoustic palm]

huh

[queen briar]

omg no

[lone mango]

Bad timing

[queen briar]

discord is playing sounds

[acoustic palm]

yo

[queen briar]

[acoustic palm]

@lone mango

[velvet summit]

[queen briar]

is digtal vibrance 80% too much?

[dusk knot]

Windows 11 is bugged. Everything is moving at a snails pace

😭

Wth

[nocturne flicker]

Don't know why you were so hyped, the MX-30 was discontinued outside of east Asia and NZ

[acoustic palm]

do you not see the mpg

in THIS economy?

[nocturne flicker]

That is crap for Ev

Chevy Bolts from 2023 did like 112

[acoustic palm]

ok but

rotary engine 🤤

[lone mango]

I just had another a couple days ago

[lone mango]

I made the right call to start switching before w10 ended last year

[nocturne flicker]

Keep in mind the Bolt had a lower MSRP than the MX-30

[acoustic palm]

ok but

rotaryy

[nocturne flicker]

To the tune of 8-10k lower

[acoustic palm]

rotary.

[lone mango]

It is impressive for a rotary

[dusk knot]

The whole system is moving at 1 frame per 5 seconds....I'm not even exaggerating. In resetting my PC

[acoustic palm]

brap brap brap brap brap brap brap brap brap brap brap brap brap brap brap brap

[lone mango]

Roll back first

[tranquil pebble]

Windows 11 is a sloperating system

[queen briar]

wheres the L

[acoustic palm]

aint no Ls in a rotary. only Ws

[gleaming sedge]

3 years on it and no problem besides cant log into a pc over the network

[nocturne flicker]

I'm sorry if my only concern for a car is A) I can fit in it B) it is not going to fall apart immediately C) it isn't expensive to maintain and D) it isn't expensive to use

[acoustic palm]

well

youre BORING for that

i want brap brap brap brap brap brap brap brap brap brap brap brap brap brap brap

orrrr

VROOOOOOOOOM

[nocturne flicker]

Well, I guess affordability is also important too. Make that B and push everything else down one

[acoustic palm]

ok but hear me out

[queen briar]

no

[acoustic palm]

it looks cool, sounds cool, and is cool

[nocturne flicker]

No

Cars are primarily a means of transport

Not hehe I spent 10k extra for a worse car because 'cool'

[queen briar]

we should abandon cars and all take the train.

[acoustic palm]

to you maybe

[nocturne flicker]

And that is the way it should be

[acoustic palm]

to you yes

[nocturne flicker]

Maybe then we wouldn't be wasting so much money as a society on trashy pickup trucks

[acoustic palm]

your opinion doesnt dictate everyone 😭

[lone mango]

Lifted trucks are a completely different thing than a rotary hybrid

[queen briar]

i wanna defend you and say it should, but you enjoy pineapple on pizza

[nocturne flicker]

What?

[acoustic palm]

https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/8e6e1aac-7ba3-4092-9814-d9caf3084e4b/ like give me this and ill be one happy man

[dusk knot]

All this vibe coding almost made me lose an important class project I'm working on

[nocturne flicker]

People buy pickup trucks largely because 'cool' and vanity

[acoustic palm]

i dont enjoy it, i can tolerate it

[gleaming sedge]

yea you live a very very very boring life

[nocturne flicker]

Very few of the people actually buying pickup trucks actually need pickup trucks

[queen briar]

lost all credibility.

[lone mango]

Yeah but that is different than a rotary hybrid because the truck situation in the us is extremely wasteful

[velvet summit]

i have bad news
the hybrid rotary does not sound as good as the pure ICE rotary engines

it just sounds like a compressor

💀

[acoustic palm]

🙁

[velvet summit]

no wonder it didnt sell well in the US

[nocturne flicker]

How so? Quok's argument for rotary car is cool even if cheaper, better alternatives exist contemporaneously. Wasting money in the name of cool is still wasteful

[queen briar]

it cant be that bad

[acoustic palm]

is it wasteful if you enjoy it?

[nocturne flicker]

Yes

[gleaming sedge]

my dad has owned almost nothing but trucks but he does things where he needs it so country folk are more often need it than city folk but yes

[acoustic palm]

😭

then waste a bit of money

be happy

[nocturne flicker]

Why would I be happy? I don't care about it and it detracts from the things I do care about

[acoustic palm]

ok

thats you

id be extremely happy if i had a car i like

[gleaming sedge]

not if its fun. say you have 2 burgers one 5 dollars and its good but thats it but theres another for 8 dollars and its the best burger you have ever had you gotta live some and enjoy life so spend the extra bit

[queen briar]

why is finding a clear insulated 32oz cup on amazon so hard

[acoustic palm]

also life is finite, money isnt

[dusk knot]

i was having saving errors

[gleaming sedge]

almost

[velvet summit]

why is clear a req

[queen briar]

i like watching the liquid go bye bye

[velvet summit]

oh

[acoustic palm]

its far easy to get a bit more money than get a bit more time in life

[velvet summit]

i guess that makes sense

[queen briar]

money is finite.

[nocturne flicker]

This is not a slightly more, live a little situation, this is a buy something 30% more expensive that looks better but you get less out of it situation

[acoustic palm]

wrong choice of words

[gleaming sedge]

yet its pretty much same principle

[acoustic palm]

this is buy something more expensive that youll use often and that makes you happy

[nocturne flicker]

It'd be like you can buy a good burger that is cheaper or you can buy a good looking burger that is a fair amount more expensive and isn't as good of a burger

[queen briar]

idk man. when i asked chatgpt to reduce production cost of hypersonic missiles, it didnt disappoint

[gleaming sedge]

true but getting a amount of money that can really do much of anything can and is a challenge to actually get

[acoustic palm]

no?

[nocturne flicker]

Yes

[lone mango]

It is a hybrid getting over 70 mpg using a niche engine, which I think is great for those who want to have a rotary car

[acoustic palm]

if the more expensive car makes you happier

then its worth it

end of story

[gleaming sedge]

yes and most of the time if you are doing that kind of fancy stuff with a car you are going to fix the problems it does have simple as that

[queen briar]

so if drugs or crime makes someone happy, its fine.

[gleaming sedge]

sure

[nocturne flicker]

I'm glad you can live in a world where infinitie money is within your grasp and you can't make real decisions

[acoustic palm]

https://klipy.com/gifs/correlation-no

[queen briar]

respect the answer.

[queen briar]

horrible graph.

[acoustic palm]

well no shit you need to be able to afford it

[gleaming sedge]

or maybe they care about actually living and having any kind of fun. good god id hate to ever see you at a party. 80 year old grumpy ahh over here

[acoustic palm]

but if you can afford it, and it makes your life better, then its worth it

[nocturne flicker]

I don't go to parties

[queen briar]

i believe you.

[gleaming sedge]

of course you dont. but thats a good thing since everyone would for sure HATE to have you there

[nocturne flicker]

I'm an introvert who can't handle making small talk, who doesn't dance or drink alcohol, makes no sense to go to one

[gleaming sedge]

ahh so to afraid to make friends, that explains the lack of wanting to live any

[nocturne flicker]

Also I live in rural east TN, I don't think parties exist here

[queen briar]

-# I can make smaller talk than you

[nocturne flicker]

-# How dare

[queen briar]

alright, im ordering duronaut

this kryonaut might not be nerough for the 9900x3d

[nocturne flicker]

Is the 9900X3D particularly hot? I don't remember hearing anything about it being super toasty

[wraith fern]

shi

ill take it off your hands

if its an issue

[queen briar]

not that ive heard

ive been building this PC for 2 months now

opretty sure i used the right amount of thermal paste. pump is workign fine. either the paste isnt good enough or i didnt seat the aipo properly

[lone mango]

At most a few degrees will be saved

[queen briar]

either way, ima have to take it off. might as well repaste it

[lone mango]

Reseating is needed

[queen briar]

i mean, idling at 78° is not ideal.

[lone mango]

Maybe not enough tension

[queen briar]

i can garuntee its enough tension.

[lone mango]

Yeah remount lol

[nocturne flicker]

It could also be a bad mobo sensor

[lone mango]

Brother

[dusk knot]

[lone mango]

78c idle is not a paste thing

[queen briar]

i agree. but i might as well upgrade the paste since im reseating it

[queen briar]

is from both thermaltake and hardware info
