[lethal jasper]

Is 850VA good?

Just for a safe shut down

[velvet summit]

more than enough for a 500w system

[lethal jasper]

Not proper work

[velvet summit]

look at the rating to see how long it will last running at 850VA

also VA is a power measurement, not a capacity measurement

similar to watts

watts - real power
VA (Volt Ampere) - apparent power

watts is for DC, VA is for AC

that is an overly simplfied explaination but it's not important to know the difference unless you're an electrician or engineer

but yeah, in the UPS specs it tends to say like "10 minutes on 100% load" or such

[lethal jasper]

Found a 1000va one

[velvet summit]

or "30 minutes on 50% load"

[velvet summit]

now that's likely way overkill for what you actually need

[lethal jasper]

9060xt + 5700x is about what

600 watts at the maximum with fans and stuff

[lunar bobcat]

Im back srry walked away my server pc was beeping at me

1 ram stick caused a whole ordeal

[lethal jasper]

How long will that last at 100% usage

Tadiran Pro 1000VA – GEN3

[velvet summit]

look at the specs

[lethal jasper]

Is there any app i can use to measure full system usage?

[velvet summit]

no

you need a kill a volt (or generic versions of it) and you plug the psu into it

[lethal jasper]

?

[velvet summit]

yes

you also need to make sure that is rated for the currents you expect to have go through it

[lethal jasper]

If i measure gpu and cpu usage and add the average usage of each component can i get a rough estimate

[velvet summit]

very rough

the better alternative is just to look at the psu at what its rating is

[lethal jasper]

Its an 850w

[velvet summit]

if the ups matches that then it should be more than enough, since most of the time the psu is slightly oversized for the system anyways

[lethal jasper]

but it doesn’t go that high with my system

Gold

Cooler master v850

[velvet summit]

9060xt and 5700x right

[lethal jasper]

Yea

And about 50 watts worth of fans

8 12 volt 0.5 amp fixed and 2 pwms. Plus an HDD

Idk if its 0.5 of 1.5

Pretty sure 0.5

[velvet summit]

hmm
9060xt has a 160w tdp, so lets just pretend it uses 200w,
5700x has a tdp of 65 and ppt of 88w, lets just give it 100w,
plus 50 watts of fans, and 50 watts of whatever else,
that would be 400w so far
plus some extra headroom just in case of of anything missed and future upgrades, 500-600w ups probably would be fine

[lethal jasper]

How much would a 360 aio take

Or 240

Not planning on adding one as of now but if i do

[velvet summit]

however much a pump takes idk

[lethal jasper]

So like less than 10 watts

[velvet summit]

it's probably around that

[lethal jasper]

Yea so im fine with the 1000va

[lethal jasper]

In about 2-4 years when am4 gets even older should i just move to am5 and not bother getting a 5700x3d or something similar? What do you think

Since im not planning any major upgrades until 2029 at least

[nocturne flicker]

In 2-4 years AMD will release 2 more AM4 cpus

The forever socket shall live

There will be literally no more mobos on the market but AM4 shall live

[sinful blade]

https://youtu.be/QSaA8PnPM44?

[lethal jasper]

5800x3d back in production hopefully

[velvet summit]

going from a 5700x? nah

either go to am5 or am6 even when that comes out in like 3-4 years

[lethal jasper]

alr

i mean my i7 7700 is still alive and so who knows maybe it will also last me a decade

[lethal jasper]

Could just get an x3d am4 ryzen 9 if they release another one right? Should last a while

[bitter ridge]

X3D am4 users should have enough performance to get through the entirety of am5 and hope ram prices get better with ddr6

[lethal jasper]

[lethal jasper]

Shouldnt we fix the current ram issues instead of making a new generation

[ashen swan]

How many PCIE lanes can strix halo have

currently saving for Framework desktop with AI max 395

It's to late for a 392

[bitter ridge]

Some strix halo mini pcs have a full 16x slot but if you put a dgpu in them it will run at 4 lanes of pcie gen 4

[bitter ridge]

If it is more then a year we might be on the horizon for medusa halo

[ashen swan]

I'm just gonna go with 385 then lmao

44500 NTD is not bad

[bitter ridge]

And Medusa halo supposed to use rdna 5 iirc so that thing should be able to use fsr 4

[ashen swan]

Fedora

[ashen swan]

Thank god

this PC is more for editing though lmao

[rancid juniper]

why not make more cpus on lga 1700? CPUs that fixes the problems of raptorlake?

[queen briar]

[royal crow]

Conspiracy theory believers are so stupid bruh

[queen briar]

[royal crow]

Literally 1 hs physics course will tell you the earth isn't flat

[dense locust]

Stop believing the government herd smh
Believe this other herd we made up, we are different

[queen briar]

of all the ridiculous and absurd things to believe in

[velvet summit]

Do you think they took high school

[queen briar]

its worse than flat earthers

[velvet summit]

The round earthers

[queen briar]

who is dumb enough to believe the moon actually exist.

[velvet summit]

Oh

[royal crow]

Had a friend a while ago I tried to prove it to, gave math-backed answers and evidence and he refused to beleive it

[queen briar]

how can it exist when its made of cheese

it would need to be refidgerated

[dusk knot]

I mean....I don't believe in the flat Earth nonsense. But in other areas, the world isn't always transparent about strange events

[queen briar]

the gall of some people.

[royal crow]

Space is cold af

[queen briar]

ok, if space is cold, then our sun have cooled by now

[royal crow]

Tbf yeah but like who actually cares

[queen briar]

its obviosuly not cold at all. its room temp at best

[queen briar]

theres still people trying to figure out if earth is the center of universe or not.

[dusk knot]

Most people don't. They're too concerned about paying their bills or daily lives.

[royal crow]

Yesn't

We are the center of a constantly growing sphere of illuminated objects

[dusk knot]

Insane

[royal crow]

But the universe doesn't have a definite center

[queen briar]

we should take a few torches to a rock and trebuchet at someones house and say a meteor from space hti them

[royal crow]

That and there's more interesting things to ponder

Most paranormal sht is probably something to do with the demonic

Or just a coincidence

[tranquil pebble]

not sure we can even know if it is spherical. While it is likely, it's hard to know for sure.

[queen briar]

yea or MSG

[dusk knot]

Based on theoretical models that have holes. No one was there since the beginning of the universe.

[royal crow]

Technically the universe is a hyperplane but that's a whole other bag of cats

[royal crow]

I mean maybe it does

[dusk knot]

That's what it is...even the UFO bits

[queen briar]

everything is a UFO to the uninformed.

[royal crow]

Well, ufos are almost certainly government/usaf stuff

[tranquil pebble]

Sometimes UFOs have literally just been experimental military aircraft

[dusk knot]

I've seen my fair share to know...

[royal crow]

Aliens don't exist and if they do they aren't intelligent

And if somehow they are...

https://tenor.com/view/stranger-things-fire-flame-gif-14920648

[dusk knot]

I believe they're out there.

[tranquil pebble]

UFO does not mean alien, it just means a Unidentified Flying Object

if someone turns a basketball into a rocket and someone else sees it from a distance, that is a UFO

or you know, spy balloons

[royal crow]

Humans are God's creation and I don't think it's a coincidence that we have the only planet that we know is habitable and almost every other one we've found is a hellish wasteland

He said to fill the earth and subdue it, not the stars

Not that I think space exploration is a bad thing, just that I think its folly to do anything more than explore

[dusk knot]

What about more than exploration?

[dusk knot]

No joke.

[tranquil pebble]

Colonize the moon and send the cheese back to Earth

[queen briar]

no

we have enough cheese in the caves

[royal crow]

What would be the point

There's no way humans can make a suitable place to live outside of earth

[queen briar]

alien waifus.

[royal crow]

Omfg

[queen briar]

the fermi paradox disputes that.

theres actually a handful of places with potenial life on it we jsut dont have the evidence needed to send a probe yet.

[dusk knot]

In our current state, I agree.

[royal crow]

And also we can't get a probe to lightspeed so there's no possible way we could get anywhere close, since said places are usually hundreds of lightyears away

[queen briar]

what if we use a really really slong sling shot

[royal crow]

Some kind of warp drive is the only feasible option atp

[tall pine]

Multi-Generational trips

Nothing says the first voyagers at gonna be the ones to make it.

[dusk knot]

Terrible

[royal crow]

They aren't impossible though

[dusk knot]

We need warp drive

Or we just stay here

[tall pine]

Most plausible.

[royal crow]

It's just that manipulating spacetime is above our pay grade

[dusk knot]

Easiest for now. In the civilian scientific field they're trying to make it a reality.

[royal crow]

Although if gravitons do exist and we can figure out a way to collect bosons then that will make stuff a lot easier

[tall pine]

The other option is building the ship in space and putting thrusters that go Mach 5 on it though moving at that pace non stop also makes it near impossible to actually use the ship.

[dusk knot]

Rockets suck.

[tall pine]

Assuming we can even go fast enough the bigger issue is stopping.

The trip from Point A to B has a series of astroid fields.

[royal crow]

Asteroid field are basically a non-issue

[tall pine]

Depends on the speed of travel.

[dusk knot]

Soo many issues. I advocate for warp-drive all the way. It's not impossible

[royal crow]

Hollywood protrays them much differently than they are

[tall pine]

Even a rock can put a hole in steel if it hits hard enough.

[tall pine]

I agree with this.

[dusk knot]

They're not nearly as dense

[royal crow]

I have an idea for one that may be possible if the vacuum decay hypothesis is false

But still impossible with our tech

[tall pine]

My concern isn't a large field but more so that one rock no one is watching out for putting a hole in the vessel.

[dusk knot]

Warp drive would solve that issue by pushing debris away...tho no one knows how to stop lol

[tall pine]

Back to the issue of stopping.

[royal crow]

Rocket or sm idrk

[tall pine]

Imagine driving a car at 60mph with no breaks.

[royal crow]

Gated travel

[tall pine]

That's the concern.

[royal crow]

Instead of making the ship move really fast, it'd be optimal to have the ship just cover less space

Like in dune

[dusk knot]

That's a wormhole

[royal crow]

Yep

[dusk knot]

In a giant ship

[royal crow]

They're possible and not unfeasible

[tall pine]

Btw QMB and JP don't forget to update the mod pack with the additional mods.

[dusk knot]

If we can imagine it, it should be possible

[dusk knot]

Will do.

[royal crow]

No no it really really shouldnt

[tall pine]

Feel free to ask me, Demo, or Echo for how to do it.

[royal crow]

I imagine far too much stuff for my own good

[dusk knot]

The only limit is you

[tall pine]

I imagine a 9070xt with Pro 6000 specs while costing less then a GT210 in this economy!

[royal crow]

The drives im describing would destroy the universe

Vacuum decay mostly

[dusk knot]

Doubt

Most doomsday scenarios are either not as bad as we think or are just simply not possible in reality.

[tall pine]

Btw I was able to acquire two baby dragons last night on the server.

Now to wait for them to get bigger to ride.

[dusk knot]

actually, a lot of our space travel could be cut down by like... 15x just by using a nuclear powered engine.

[velvet summit]

Almost 2cm of snow too

[queen briar]

@grok convert this into real units

[velvet summit]

16mph or something

15 Maybe

It's not that bad but windchill gonna be crazy

[worn wave]

Part of it is that the detection methods we have are just more likely to spot uninhabitable planets

It's also easier to spot a planet than judge if it can support life

[royal crow]

[rancid juniper]

[royal crow]

That had to have been a joke

[tranquil pebble]

[dusk knot]

To a certain extent

Even if it is hotel grade

[dusk knot]

good stuff

[heady plinth]

Not sure if it's your issue but does your motherboard have the primary gpu slot in the top position? A lot of atx boards it's in the second position. The evo xl also looks like it's only meant to fit one.

[neat plover]

i have a b850 plus tuf asus

the gpu isnt really a problem

lemme show u whats blocking it

I don’t even know if that parts removable

First they ban the best drones now they ban basically every router

Someone needs to go seize the crack that whoever is making these decisions is smoking

[velvet summit]

They are also a pretty important part of keeping America running though even if they're used for other politics

[nocturne flicker]

Extremely important

[velvet summit]

They regulate all things relating to radio and communication

In the US

[velvet summit]

Including things that aren't used for radio or communication

[royal crow]

Doubtful

[nocturne flicker]

Radio, tv, wired internet, wifi, cable and satellite based comms

The reason why things have been getting worse in all those areas is because of lax regulations by the FCC

[royal crow]

So why dont they regulate those instead of banning routers

[velvet summit]

FTC, FCC, FDA, FAA, etc.... all very important for the US but they don't really operate like they really should be either from politics or under funding

[nocturne flicker]

Getting rid of it will result in a free for all

[royal crow]

Can they even think

[nocturne flicker]

Because the people put on the board have been in certain pockets and have been on and off placed on the FCC with the express purpose of degrading the FCC

[velvet summit]

Realize these are all federal entities and people in the federal government may be telling them what to regulate

[random osprey]

no

@grand kernel sorry for ping but lol my z690 board got another update today

[grand kernel]

oh boy

[rancid juniper]

gotta re-apply all of the settings smh

[nocturne flicker]

[rancid juniper]

^^^

[rancid juniper]

impossible

i dont wanna ram tweak anymore

[grand kernel]

theo i might be doing a master's degree in your city will you take me in

[proud jackal]

Sjsu?

[grand kernel]

yeah

[elfin mural]

i feel like a madman for trying to install bazzite without using a usb drive

[grand kernel]

I got accepted just not sure if I want to commit yet

[proud jackal]

Can you walk my dog

[grand kernel]

yes

[elfin mural]

torturing myself because i can't get a usb drive lmao

[proud jackal]

[grand kernel]

what are you trying to install it off of

[nocturne flicker]

Can you dog my walk

[elfin mural]

my ssd

[grand kernel]

inb4 fat32 external hard drive

[elfin mural]

im partitioning the drive

it's in fat32 ofc

[grand kernel]

somehow even worse

[elfin mural]

bazzite image did boot up, but it spewed some errors

so im trying fedora since some crazy dude actually made a guide lmao

[grand kernel]

theo_adopts

[grand kernel]

why not the best distro

[elfin mural]

..arch?

i guess i can try cachyos

[grand kernel]

unironically I think arch is easier than windows

[proud smelt]

#polls-polls-polls message

[rancid juniper]

gta 6 gonna be delayed

[grand kernel]

people are just scared of terminal or something

[rancid juniper]

[elfin mural]

if fedora doesn't work imma take a break for the night and just wait until i get a usb drive

i feel like im wasting my time lol

[grand kernel]

windows install process

1. create windows installation media
2. enter setup
3. figure out what kind of voodoo black magic it expects now to accept a local account
4. finish setup
5. go find all my drivers and install them manually
6. apply hacky workaround so windows stops killing my radeon driver for fun
7. go through all 300 options to debloat everything

arch install process

1. create arch install media
2. type archinstall to enter setup
3. finish setup

even comes with the best browser already

[proud jackal]

[grand kernel]

comes with all drivers up to date fully plug and play

even my random no name chinese usb webcam

doesn't try to downgrade my gpu driver for fun

doesn't push copilot on me

run into a problem? some guy has had the same problem before and posted a step by step solution

don't have to fight TrustedInstaller to delete your own files

don't have to listen to windows telling you you need administrator permission

update everything with a single command you don't even need to remember, just make it a shell script lol

I swear arch is easier than windows people just spent their whole life learning windows

[rancid juniper]

i think its due to windows having alot of support with various apps people use daily and is probably not available natively on linux, and just that people will not budge to try something new when they're fully accustomed to an existing thing.

gaming on linux is getting better

[grand kernel]

well I daily drive both but I only game on windows so fair point

but I do everything else but game on arch and no issues

[rancid juniper]

yea, it really depends on what you do/use at the end of the day

[grand kernel]

firefox, spotify, discord, vscode, git, node.js, gcc

that's about it

the only thing that annoys me is that discord can't update itself

gotta do it through the package manager

very minor thing though

[unreal trail]

[elfin mural]

fedora booted

am in

now i just need to install it

[velvet summit]

https://tenor.com/view/hacker-pc-meme-matrix-codes-gif-11310648121341593764

[elfin mural]

it's doing its thing

waiting a bit nervously lmao

i ended up installing fedora on the second ssd

whatever i have plenty of storage left

[thorn quartz]

will 600W be enough to power a 13600kf and a 5060ti?

[rancid juniper]

@grand kernel somehow the new bios is making -0.170v stable

I currently daily -0.150v undervolt

[rancid juniper]

Yea

[thorn quartz]

time to look for that 5060ti then

I want an itx build so bad I hate my big ass case, but itx cases don't ship to my country...

[rancid juniper]

Is it going to be a 5060ti 16gb?

[thorn quartz]

Yes, I need a gpu with 16gb at least

I'd love to have one with 24gb but too expensive

[rancid juniper]

Nice

[thorn quartz]

I also need a new monitor, I got a 24gf2 from gigabyte like 3-4 yrs ago

and artifacts started showing up

such a bad panel

Should have went with aoc

[rancid juniper]

Dude?

[velvet summit]

That sounds like either a bad cable or GPU though
I would say that monitors tend to die in different ways

Such as the backlight dying

[thorn quartz]

I thought it was maybe a cable thing but I swapped hdmi to dp and well...

[velvet summit]

Damn

RMA possible?

Gigabyte has a 3 year warranty on most their monitors

[elfin mural]

fedora gave me a black screen after installing it lmao

[thorn quartz]

I don't think so, since I bought it from amazon I'd have to process the return directly to gigabyte and I think the warranty already expired since it's 4yo

[elfin mural]

i managed to fix it temporarily

[velvet summit]

Rip

[elfin mural]

i hope installing the new drivers solves it

[upper rain]

doing this to my 270k soon ™️

[thorn quartz]

I'll buy a new one and keep this as a second monitor for spotify or browsing

[velvet summit]

Fair

[worn wave]

There are some nice matx cases that are quite small

I have a sama im01 and it's great

Granted I assume there isn't like an itx case ban and you just have limited cases in general

[elfin mural]

yay, it boots normally now

i can sleep and mess with the rest of the setup tomorrow

[thorn quartz]

I've seen a few, this one looks decent considering it's cheap https://a.co/d/0gRR7eF9

[grand kernel]

time to daily +0.170v

6ghz go

[thorn quartz]

they have an itx version but apparently the shipping costs an additional 40$ even though the itx case is smaller which makes no sense...?

[worn wave]

That's a solid option too

[worn wave]

Probably ships from a different warehouse

[rancid juniper]

Oh na lmao

Btw -0.170v did a whea error when I opened up adrenalin while running OCCT CPU stress test

[unreal trail]

[upper wedge]

Uhhhh

You know there’s a RMA for those monitors right?

I had the same exact one in 2022/2023, they had a big warranty recall for it cause of the panel

[grand kernel]

sounds like you need +1.7v

[upper wedge]

Nvm they closed down the page for it, get a new one 😭

[velvet summit]

Rip

[thorn quartz]

I will try to contact support but... I don't think they will cover the international shipping if the RMA applies

[rancid juniper]

🗿

[grand kernel]

honestly just bypass the vrms

direct 12v from psu to cpu

why not

go 80ghz

[neat plover]

If I went from 180 fps to 600 from upgrading cpu alone from 3070 rtx i7 17000k to 3070rtx ryzen 7 9800x3d what would u guys think fps be if upgraded to 5080 gpu

[thorn quartz]

1. fps in what game, res, settings?
2. why do u want more fps, after 240hz you barely notice any difference and I don't even know if they make monitors that can handle more than 360hz

[rancid juniper]

That sounds nice however I achieved -0.160v and it consumes 124w on cinebench

😳

[grand kernel]

5080 for csgo 480p

[proud jackal]

[rancid juniper]

New bios helped, definitely not tempted to do ram OC on a CXMT chip

[grand kernel]

bro got a 3.33x jump upgrading from a cpu that doesn't exist

[rancid juniper]

Buy the 270k plus

[thorn quartz]

I'd cry if I saw someone getting a 5080 to play a shooter in 1080p

[grand kernel]

idk if a 9800x3d is a 3.33x jump from any 5 digit i7 K

maybe it was an i7-10700K with jedec ddr4

[rancid juniper]

Tbf you got people rocking 5090s to play Minecraft or something

[thorn quartz]

hell even with a 1050ti u could pull decents fps in any modern shoter

[rancid juniper]

You don't really need much to run those games

[thorn quartz]

I'd say minecraft with mods and shaders is way gpu heavier than csgo with ultra extreme settings and idk raytraicing on ultra hyper mega settings

[grand kernel]

idk i think 5090 is necessary to play csgo 480p how else am I gonna get 5000 fps and finally be a pro gamer

[rancid juniper]

Still gets clapped by a lagging potato user*

Smh

[grand kernel]

I'm running 2x 9950X3D2 in crossfire for more frames paired with my 5090 matrix

and I daily LN2

[rancid juniper]

I once cranked all the settings to max with some Minecraft shader and it choked my 9070 xt so hard down to high 30s at best

[rancid juniper]

Dude is daydreaming over here

[thorn quartz]

30fps > 5000fps, after 4999 fps your monitor melts and your 5080 thermal throttles and explodes

[neat plover]

It’s a hypothetical

[thorn quartz]

imagine paying to selfdestruct your setup

[unreal trail]

[upper rain]

cxmt ram?

[rancid juniper]

Luckily I don't need that bomb of a gpu

[rancid juniper]

Yea

[upper rain]

where do i procure this...?

[rancid juniper]

Silicon power ig

[upper rain]

i need it. where buy?

[thorn quartz]

I'm just kidding, but anyway, I don't think a 5080 will improve your fps, if you already have 600fps with a 3070, any gpu upgrade will be negligible

[rancid juniper]

Like the die within it had CXMT chips when I bought it back in 2022 I think

[upper rain]

yah

i wasn't aware CXMT was producing consumer stuff outside of China

[rancid juniper]

Yea they were already making ram chips before they were even news to other countries

Sucks because not much knowledge is known about it when overclocking

It's just a gamble

[upper rain]

what capacity did you get?

[rancid juniper]

2x16gb ddr4 3200mhz cl16 xmp

[upper rain]

ahhhh, ddr4

[rancid juniper]

Yuh

[grand kernel]

dude you don't get it he has the 1080hz monitor

[upper wedge]

Totally not running a 5070ti on 1440p cs2.. may do a swap with a 4080S too 💔💔

[grand kernel]

why tho

are they paying you extra

[upper wedge]

100$ LOL

I have yet to sell my 4070tiS though

Had 2 buyers dip on me

[thorn quartz]

do you do international shipping

[upper rain]

how much for it?

[thorn quartz]

[upper wedge]

I was thinking of posting it on Reddit but ik id get clowned for it

[upper rain]

US

[rancid juniper]

When will they drop that forbidden connector?

[upper wedge]

Well depends how much it’ll cost

[worn night]

never

[upper wedge]

Drop a local Walgreens & I’ll check

[upper rain]

34711 zip

[thorn quartz]

what is a walgreens, I am too not american to understand

[grand kernel]

also I'm here playing genshin impact on my 9070xt lol

[upper rain]

can do pp g&s if it's a good price

[upper wedge]

A grocery/pharmacy store

[worn night]

convenience store

[rancid juniper]

It's gonna take at least 3 million burning houses for them to not do ANYTHING

[grand kernel]

nothing wrong with playing games that don't max out your hardware but hopefully they're not the only games you play on it

[rancid juniper]

[upper wedge]

Well I’ve listed it for $800 hoping for low balls, I’ve gotten offers that dipped out on me at 750

I’ll check like a fair price for it though

[upper rain]

bit pricey considering 9070 is ~$600. are they really going for that much?

[rancid juniper]

I kinda want to try a desktop CPU with a decent igpu

Cuz why not

[upper wedge]

It does come with Stalker 2

If the codes aren’t expired

@upper rain crazy sold prices ngl

[upper rain]

[upper wedge]

I am not selling it for basically a brand new 5070ti

[worn night]

rtx tax has not died

[upper wedge]

I promise you that 😭

[upper rain]

maybe Nvidia is too rich for my blood lolol

[upper rain]

what's crazy is they're like open box on newegg and amazon for that price

[rancid juniper]

Back in December I copped a 9070 xt for $600

[upper rain]

ebay is on something

[worn night]

for ALL our bloodlines

[thorn quartz]

$750 for a 4070tiS does not sound THAT bad. You'd die to see nvidia prices in my country

[upper rain]

snagged some hype 30/40 series deals a few years ago... now i just buy RDNA3/4 ^^

[upper wedge]

You can low ball me to $300!

[rancid juniper]

Any country that's not US, Canada, EU have one of the worst prices in tech imaginable

[upper rain]

my fiance's 4060 ti 16GB i got fot $350 like a year after Ada launch

[worn night]

if i get enough money to upgrade randomly itll be a 9070xt so I aint need to upgrade for a long time

[upper wedge]

I honestly love my 4070ti Super, but since I got a 5070ti I really don’t need it 😭

[worn night]

quite a jump from a b580, it would be

[sinful blade]

I’ll give you my 9060xt for it

[upper wedge]

I’ll cover for shipping if it’s not 100+ 😏

[rancid juniper]

I made my 9070 xt into a 9070 by choking it's power draw

[upper rain]

if you wanna get into XOC i'm seeing wicked deals on 7900 xt

[rancid juniper]

[upper wedge]

Erm somebody offered a 7800xt for it 💔

[worn night]

yo I would buy that

[thorn quartz]

here $350 gets you a 5060 and you're $50 short

[rancid juniper]

5060 4gb edition

[upper wedge]

Please don’t 💔

[worn night]

nah I know there might be a better alternative but I'm looking to get the newest thingy lol

[sinful blade]

Wait that’s worse

[thorn quartz]

hell I have seen used 3060ti going for $250-300 bucks

[bitter ridge]

Good to see the ps5 pro more horsepower used for more then just higher res and fps

[worn night]

mid

[upper wedge]

Is the 7800xt worse than 9060xt now??

[worn night]

Nah

[upper rain]

fairs. consider non XT anyway then. considerably less money for basically the same card

[rancid juniper]

All that to run borderlands 4 at 1080p 30fps /s

[worn night]

will depend on the price of both cards when/if i get enough money

but my next upgrade will be CPU for sure

if possible Id want to sell my mobo and cpu and plop a 270k on a z890 🔥

[upper wedge]

Should I possibly bid it then?

[bitter ridge]

People who bought the ps5 pro at launch msrp which is $699 probably feel very vindicated right now

[upper wedge]

Well, thing is fricking eBay is a tax demon

[worn night]

yes

[worn night]

also true

[upper rain]

i have a p400 lite that i bought that was showing issues... i am not proud of this but ig i spilled a dribble of liquid metal on the sticker when installing my cpu block. what are the chances it's cooked vs just wiping it off and being fine? mind you, it's only seemingly on the sticker... but the drive itself has been problematic

[worn night]

i can guarentee you they kept less than 700 dollars of that

[upper rain]

it's like 15% or something and they don't even provide a shipping label

[upper wedge]

I feel like $750 would be fair ish if I cover shipping

[upper rain]

i scalped that silly bearista starbucks cup for like $250 and got like $170 of it kek

[upper wedge]

Cause the insurance markup for value of package

[upper wedge]

Yeah like it definitely helps out getting product on a market, but too much money lost from it

I wonder if I can put my contact info on eBay

“Contact me for cheaper price” or some bs

[worn night]

i mean you can until someone reports you

or itll just get censored

[upper wedge]

dang

[worn night]

they got that roblox automoderation

[upper wedge]

😭

[thorn quartz]

what would u do with a spare 12100F, I've been trying to sell it for a year but I am NOT giving it for $30 when it costed me $89

[bitter ridge]

Auto 4k looking worse than manually selected 4k in youtube

[rancid juniper]

Just build a PC with it and sell

[worn night]

make a budget ddr4 build

[bitter ridge]

I think there might be some truth to that conspiracy theory

[upper wedge]

That would be kinda hard to sell, I know some people are looking for it on hardwareswap

[worn night]

pick up a 1660 super and some 2x8 ddr4 2400mts

[upper wedge]

But yeah build a PC with it tbh

[upper wedge]

They don’t live in the US sadly, so prices are crazy

[rancid juniper]

Cooked I fear

[thorn quartz]

I thought abt that but... a pair of 8gb ddr4 sticks are like $200...

[upper wedge]

Unless it’s cheaper internationally?

[worn night]

no theyre not

[upper wedge]

I mean I am selling a kit of ddr4 aswell..

[rancid juniper]

For how much

[thorn quartz]

I'll build a ramless setup, maybe it'll it run on thoughts and prayers

[thorn quartz]

I am not in the US

ram inflation goes crazier in here

[worn night]

oh frick

https://www.ebay.com/itm/236741308643

[rancid juniper]

Thick link

[worn night]

what does this say for you

[upper wedge]

Good question, the ram pricing is everywhere now

Apparently china making it for cheap and prices shot back up, or going. Back down?

[thorn quartz]

not bad, shipping is only 20

[rancid juniper]

Last I checked scalpers were wailing that nobody is buying their stuff

[worn night]

lol does this mean i can just send you american listings and youre able to buy them

[thorn quartz]

cheapest I've seen in local stores is $100 for 2x8gb

[worn night]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/236732278247

Especially having access to fsr4 and soon FSR5? Yeah, it’s going to be ahead.

It’s Corsair ram

Ram is ram

corsair ddr4 is fine

their ddr5 had issues

[thorn quartz]

if I could adapt a laptop ram to desktop

I'd do it

[worn night]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/405861244829

they have invented these

just dont know if they can run the rated speed

[thorn quartz]

is this safe

[worn night]

itll also look ugly

[worn night]

only one way to find out bro

[worn night]

look for good reviews lol

[thorn quartz]

I had a spare 16gb stick and I sold my laptop... If only I'd knew..

[worn night]

more than 32gb of ddr5 used to cost

[rancid juniper]

Will bro corrupt his windows install or will it be stable?

Find out on the next episode of rammapocalypse

[upper wedge]

@thorn quartz do you have like a local store or restaurant (not too close to your house ofc) that I could use as a reference to see how much shipping would cost?

[thorn quartz]

Oh don't worry about corrupting my windows install

I updated my bios to use my 13600kf

[upper wedge]

I wouldn’t mind selling the corsair kit I. Have for like $130

[thorn quartz]

and my audio drivers got corrupted and now I have to use an usb adapter!

[upper wedge]

And pay for shoppping

[rancid juniper]

Bruh

[upper wedge]

Shipping* if it isn’t crazy

[upper wedge]

Ik, I got my ddr5 off of woot for 62$!

It was like 4 days before the big ram price increase LOL

[worn night]

[upper wedge]

The kit sells for 509.99 new on Amazon.

Or $300 off of wherever

Cl. 175 #22-13, Bogotá

[worn night]

man why is the 270k out of stock

[upper wedge]

6000cl30

[worn night]

its been out for like 5 minutes

[thorn quartz]

I tried reinstalling the bios, reinstalling win11

[upper rain]

bc intel finally released a good CPU

[worn night]

250KF in stock should I get

[upper rain]

nah

[worn night]

but my 13400f is lacking

[upper rain]

265kf is almost the price and you get more P cores

[upper wedge]

Did you do the drivers?

[worn night]

oh bet

[upper wedge]

Or did you try using device manager

[worn night]

its 50 dollars more

[upper rain]

just have to enable 200s boost and up the ring clock a little and it'll perform better than 270k in games. just missing an E core cluster

[worn night]

hmmmmmm

[thorn quartz]

I don't remember, I used the drivers I had installed on a usb when I first built my setup

[dusk knot]

Hmm

[upper rain]

$250 vs $220

$30 gets you moar cache and P core

[upper wedge]

I would try to reinstall the drivers

[thorn quartz]

then I tried downloading them directly on realtek webpage

[worn night]

vs $200

[thorn quartz]

but I mean

[upper rain]

250k isn't $200 anywhere

[thorn quartz]

they aRE installed

[upper rain]

that i have seen at least

[worn night]

im literally looking at it veo

[thorn quartz]

it's just that windows does not recognize any device

I plug in

[upper rain]

what platform?

[worn night]

newegg

and itll come with a psu

🔥

[upper rain]

didn't realize the F SKU came out

yah that's a good deal

[thorn quartz]

Isn't that a steal

[worn night]

ill get it once i sell this pc which the mobo comes tomorrow 🔥

[thorn quartz]

that rosewill psu is like $60 alone in amazon

[upper rain]

they're a ton of fun to OC too

[bitter ridge]

There can be buyers remorse long term so need to keep that in mind before buying

[worn night]

yeah, remorse for not buying it before it goes up or out of stock

intel said theyre raising prices

[queen briar]

yea but its intel

[worn night]

I should finally act now

[queen briar]

and its a rosewill psu

[upper wedge]

How much better is the newer intel series CPUs?

I thought people were sticking with the 13/14th gen

[thorn quartz]

hey don't diss intel, they were pretty great until gen13

[upper rain]

arrowlake matches or beats 14th gen without exploding itself and while consuming much less power

even non + arrowlake can do this, just requires user input on a Z series board since Intel neutered their uncore for whatever reason

[thorn quartz]

and I think this specific rosewill psu is listed B+ on SPL

[bitter ridge]

My brother with 7500f will directly upgrade to zen 7 when it comes out so like a 4-5 year gap between the upgrade

[upper rain]

intel is goated

[upper wedge]

@thorn quartz btw, the street address is cl 175, city is bogota, what’s the “state” & zipcode though?

[worn night]

Bro, this is actually good

140 dollar cpu and psu

we are DOING this

[upper wedge]

Or

[worn night]

...in a couple days

[upper rain]

it would give me really good trade in value for my 265kf's

[upper wedge]

You sell it on hardware swap

Get it for $100

[queen briar]

yea, i rememebr 11th and 12 gen didnt have issues with older game DRMs

[upper wedge]

And get a $100 CPU AND psu

[worn night]

what, show

[thorn quartz]

try dis one 110141, state should be bogota as well

[queen briar]

actually, thats a game issue, not a intel issue

i take that back

[upper rain]

$220. i was originally going to trade in and get my 270k for +80 but then my BIL needed a rig so he got the 65kf instead

[upper wedge]

I swear there was somebody looking for a 12400F or better for like $100 go check

[worn night]

no like what is this platform you speak of

[upper wedge]

It was a female too

[upper wedge]

Reddit

[worn night]

can I trust reddit honestly

[bitter ridge]

Let's see if lga 1954 will have the same level of upgrade path but to find out we have to wait till 2030

[worn night]

like more than I can trust fb market

[upper wedge]

If you do PayPal yes

[queen briar]

was trhis necesarry lol

[upper wedge]

You downvoting their post does more damage if they’re ghosting you compared to Facebook

[worn night]

Nah Im selling on fb market, theyre going for over 140

[upper wedge]

Very much so, they flex it in their profile

[upper rain]

i will upgrade to Titan Lake in the same LGA1954 board as I will purchase for my 370kf/whatever the cheapes novalake ultra 7 is called

[upper wedge]

Apparently like highest ranking in marvel rivals too or smth

Never played it

[queen briar]

i wouldnt mind watching a woman flex, but too much muscle isnt my thing.

[upper wedge]

😭

[worn night]

or should I get a 14700kf for 275

[upper rain]

tbh i forgor the order but there are 4 generations supposedly supported by LGA1954. iirc Titan Lake is the 4th one

[upper rain]

i don't trust CPUs that incinerate themselves

[worn night]

thats a you problem

[upper rain]

it'll be a you problem when the ring melts itself to death

[worn night]

my motherboard can handle it and my cooler will only be a littlew warm trust

foirget it it

it's 8gb

[thorn quartz]

[worn night]

its also brand new in unopened box

[upper rain]

the i7's were the worst about exploding

[worn night]

this would save the hassle of mobo swapping, windows activating

[upper rain]

bad binned i9's pretending to hit i9 clocks at ridiculous VIDs

[worn night]

ill just turn off the e cores bruh

[bitter ridge]

There were reports of crashes in Firefox which is wild

[worn night]

250k could be just as much of a risk seeing as theyre JUST NOW coming out

[upper rain]

i'd be cool with undervolting it if it would save a chunk of money, but i wouldn't spend close to as much as on a 265kf/270k or whatever

[upper wedge]

@thorn quartz 51$ shipping cost 😭😭

[upper rain]

it uses the exact same architecture as regular arrowlake

[upper wedge]

It’s like ranging 45-51$, 45$ if you wanna wait like 4-6 weeks

[worn night]

but its less money cause i need to change mobo

[upper rain]

which means it has a separate DLVR for ring from core

[upper rain]

if it's meaningful then go for it. just make sure you impose strict voltage limits

[worn night]

never mind dude has an amazon pic of a 14700kf but its a 14700f

[queen briar]

Chromium > Gecko

[upper rain]

lolol

then you get shafted with high stock VIDs and no way to reduce them lolol

[thorn quartz]

I think that's only shipping, I don't know how much I'd have to pay in taxes

[bitter ridge]

And I think some games still have a big warning pop up if raptor lake cpus are detected

[upper wedge]

💔

[bitter ridge]

Because some people were blaming the game instead of Intel

[worn night]

zach was

[queen briar]

oh i was just repeating what AI said. i dont know if it was accurate or not

[thorn quartz]

Yeah, it's a 19% tax on items listed $200 or higher 💀

[upper wedge]

That’s why we lie

atp It's cheaper traveling to china and coming back smuggled in a container, It'll take my chances of sinking deep into the sea

[tranquil pebble]

craptor lake

[queen briar]

Raptor Fake

[worn night]

do these people really think someones gonna buy

[thorn quartz]

Buy 1 get half type of deal

[tranquil pebble]

ebay is almost useless these days. Its filled with people trying to scalp and flip items

[worn night]

thankfully I had to scroll down to find these

all the top listings are like 230-250 for used and new

so its about the same

[bitter ridge]

These are the ones that actually sell

[worn night]

Yes

[tranquil pebble]

yeah that's a lot more... sane

[worn night]

thoughts on that mobo combo?

[upper rain]

still silly bc they're brand new for that price

[bitter ridge]

So it should be lower ?

[worn night]

...yes

[thorn quartz]

is $720 too expensive for a 5060ti?

[upper rain]

perfect

[thorn quartz]

these prices will make me off myself

[upper rain]

just wait until the oil tankers stop arriving later this month

[thorn quartz]

let's hope ww3 is out soon so we can trade food stamps for 5090s

scalpers will trade their gpus for toilet paper

[velvet summit]

I would much rather only hardware be expensive than food

[tranquil pebble]

imagine if a slice of bread cost $1000

[velvet summit]

Cost of living is already bad enough

[velvet summit]

That's technically impossible since the government tends to put a cap on prices of many basic groceries such as bread

[tranquil pebble]

yeah ik

Life is expensive

[unreal trail]

true

[nocturne flicker]

Not ours. Price controls are non grata due to the Nixon shock and any attempts to institute them are heavily lambasted

Younger me probably won't like this color but now it looks really pleasing to the eye

[royal crow]

Can you buy me 32GB DDR5

[velvet summit]

I loved beige and tan ever since I was a kid

Well

Not to the point of being my favorite colours

But definitely not a colour I hated

[royal crow]

My question is why would anyone buy anything in any color other than black or gray

[dusk knot]

I wouldnt mind some shade of blue on a PC case

almost like a azure blue or star command blue

needs to be on a nice metal finish

[velvet summit]

for what

if it's the same price, why not pick something different

[royal crow]

Monochronomity

[heady plinth]

I like neutral colors but brass is pretty good too.

[misty sparrow]

real bros go with black and yellow black and yellow black and yellow

[proud jackal]

No

[royal crow]

That would look atrocious

[proud jackal]

Do I buy 9950X3D2

[royal crow]

Sadge

[random osprey]

only if you buy me and qmb one too
