[safe cape]

anything bad about this refurbished phones ?

[elfin mural]

you can sometimes get unlucky and get a faulty unit

but that's why return periods exist

[velvet summit]

Most refurbished units get the refurbishers warranty as well (though not all provides it)

[safe cape]

SUS

hhhh

[velvet summit]

But most marketplaces have a return period as well, and most issues you'll experience would be within the first few days of using it

[elfin mural]

a refurb isn't brand new, it's practically a used product

if the phone itself doesn't need any repairs, it's sold as is

for a bit i was considering having my partner ship a phone over to me cause i got really tempted by how cheap refurbs are lmao

but then i stopped to wonder if carriers would even work right in my country with a us phone

[velvet summit]

I mean, maybe?

[elfin mural]

i had some experience with a korean lg v30

it worked mostly, but reception was meh

since it was missing some bands

[velvet summit]

US travellers tend to be able to slap in a sim or esim when travelling for most parts of the world

🧐

[elfin mural]

laptops tho

i might do it with laptops

since there's barely any sales in thailand for laptops

but it would be riskier than shipping a phone

if the laptop gets damaged during shipping, that's a big amount of cash gone in the wind

[velvet summit]

Why not put it in a laptop bag and travel to you with it

Instead of shipping

[elfin mural]

yeah, that sounds like a plan

i could have them buy the laptop, then travel over to me

my wifi card in my laptop just crashed thrice

[bitter ridge]

Sad

[elfin mural]

mediatek moment

amd laptop platforms have one issue

it's the bundled wifi cards

at least the 6e ones have been rather problematic in terms of heat management

uhhh.. i think the crashes broke windows explorer

task manager time

i can't click anything windows related

what is happening

annd it just got a whea uncorrectable code for bsod

it fixed itself

the igpu driver seems to be crashing.. hm

[worn night]

guys I may have just gotten the best deal ever

Found an msi meg Z790 ace on ebay for $100 because it has bent cpu pins, which I specialize in repairing

already done it before with a 100% success rate...

this might be the biggest return on investment ever wish me luck guys

[opaque sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/the-burnt-peanut-burnt-peanut-gif-12352143607680424569

[elfin mural]

yeah my igpu drivers are breaking

as soon as the amd drivers is loaded, i lose clicking

[rancid juniper]

E

[rancid juniper]

Disable igpu

[elfin mural]

imma run ddu

or try to

managed to put on dgpu only mode

that should hopefully fix my predicament until i run ddu

still not fixed

damn

[bitter ridge]

I think lga 1700 boards should be $100 even with no bent pins

[rancid juniper]

Hmmm

[rancid juniper]

I managed to get a z690 board for $85 back in 2023

It's ddr4 tho

[elfin mural]

just managed to download ddu

safe mode time

[rancid juniper]

Hopefully it works this time

[elfin mural]

ddu running

it better work or imma have to reinstall windows completely

which isn't what i want

[bitter ridge]

You do manual oc or anything of that nature ?

[elfin mural]

none tbh

all i do is i have disabled cpu boost

[bitter ridge]

My motherboard bios is from 2024 just because I am too lazy to set up the fan curves again because bios update resets it

[elfin mural]

ddu didn't fix it

as soon as i leave safe mode it breaks

im genuinely lost rn

I dont get the point of genshin impact where the exploration doesnt reward you with equipment and stuff and instead u get those from the gacha mechanic

this is crappy right

[misty sparrow]

yes

[grand kernel]

the real percentage of people actually dialing manual memory timings is probably less than 0.1%

even though sometimes you get more than a 10% performance boost from it already

[nocturne flicker]

And the reality is that nobody is buying anything but 'bargain bin' kits that don't take to tuning well to begin with due to prices

[grand kernel]

my laptop with and without ram oc was like 3 generations of performance difference

[grand kernel]

you can get a pretty large performance bump even from bottom of the barrel kits

...like my oem laptop ram

realistically 10% is never enough to make or break the experience

so why bother if you're not into it

[misty sparrow]

doesn't it mess with the warranty too

[grand kernel]

no

just don't tell them you overclocked

intel took back my 13700k that was overclocked (responsibly) since the day it powered on

full cpu and ram tuning

I will say on my laptop one game saw a literal 100% boost to lows from ram overclocking so in that case it was very well worth doing in a practical sense

but that's the exception and not the norm

I daily fully tuned ram on my 9800x3d but I switched to jedec for a week while troubleshooting why my wifi and bluetooth kept randomly disappearing (it was amd's fault not the oc) and I couldn't even tell the difference between tuned and jedec without an fps counter

[elfin mural]

laptops benefit big time cause they run jedec spec

[heady plinth]

https://www.zotacstore.com/us/open-box/rtx-5060-ti-8gb-twin-edge About the same price, 2 year warranty, still not particularly worth buying but pretty much always available.

the 4070ti for $560 ain't bad i think

Or the 4080S for 839.99\

Not terrible but those prices would be pretty bad if 50 series was in stock at msrp. They had 4070 super for like $400-450, 4070ti super ~$600 toward the end of last year and that was more like it.

that's something

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-ryzen-9-9950x3d-drops-to-574-now-325-cheaper-than-9950x3d2

[worn night]

yo whoevers buying the 2 is just compensating

[bitter ridge]

Or has a niche use case where it heavily benefits them

[olive plaza]

Even this is only slightly better than 36% difference

9950X3D2 wouldn't be as bad if 9950X3D was at MSRP

A $200 price difference would be palatable. $325 is not

The reality right now is that both of these combinations cost the same:

• 9950X3D with 64GB DDR5
• 9950X3D2 with 32GB DDR5
  And people building in this class would prefer 64

[worn night]

Yeah I was gonna say either get slightly more cache or double ur ram

[ashen swan]

clearly one of them is way better

Obivously the X3D2

💀

[worn night]

no bro...

[ashen swan]

forgot
/j

[bitter ridge]

Thanks for being good faith

Although imo someone in this class also most likely to afford both at the same time

[ashen swan]

I might get a 250 USD discount on my Framework 13 pro

which is neat

[olive plaza]

That's hard to say. For people who have $1000 to spend on a PC build, it's hard to understand that budget limits still exist for people who have $3000 to spend

That's just how it is, people have a hard time understanding finances for people who are in a completely different spending bracket

As an example, I deep cleaned a Wraith Prism RGB cooler last week so I could put it to use. Somebody else said "Brother just spend the $25 and buy a new one on eBay or something." I am a dad, a husband, a homeowner. My budget is different from someone else's, and $25 is a half a tank of gas. Or a chunk of my grocery budget each week

"They can afford a $575 CPU and $300 worth of RAM, so they can probably also afford a $900 CPU and $300 worth of RAM" as a blanket statement, is ignorant to the fact everyone is still beholden to money lol

who's to say they wouldn't also use that extra $300 on something else in their setup like a new desk, robust ergonomic chair, or that's the price difference from IPS to OLED

Daily dose of anti-ai imagery

big reason why i respect artists

Is this worse then yellow paint

[ashen swan]

A Intel 338H for 1100 goes crazy

[olive plaza]

tbh I forgot this game came out

[random osprey]

the lamp being there to shows where to go i think is fine as it fits the theme of the game and art style, but the straight up mouse on the wall showing where to go is definitely worse than yellow paint/markers

[unreal trail]

💀

[elfin mural]

my wifi card really wants to not work lately

[unreal trail]

its just doing what windows update told it to do

[olive plaza]

feels like clickbait

also feels like somebody who went to the movies at peak time, and said yes to everything (the largest popcorn, largest drink, chips with nacho cheese, 2 boxes of candy) and then went "omg it was 50 bucks?!?!?"

[velvet summit]

if you counted the concessions as part of the cost of the ticket, then it has been around for a long while

[grand kernel]

probably since the early 2000s lol

[olive plaza]

that's what I'm saying lol

[unreal trail]

I never buy concessions.

[grand kernel]

thought my parents were being mean not letting me get concessions until I saw the prices

and I understood that at 6 years old lol

can afford it ≠ worth buying it

seems pointless to complain about prices of concessions now when little has changed on that front

[olive plaza]

My parents would take me to this theater that was a "second run" place. They never had the newest movies

[grand kernel]

plenty of other price increases to complain about these days

like $8+ gas

🤣

[olive plaza]

They'd have ones that had come out a few months prior, but I was a kid so I didn't care. I was just happy to go to the movies. A matinee showing on a weekday while I was on break from school? it was like 2 bucks a ticket

PS5 pro path tracing episode @dusk knot https://youtu.be/5uNxLnL8Jcg?si=JGemu_Ah6wt-FSgS

[rancid juniper]

Haven't watched yet but does this mean the steam console is coming sooner?

[bitter ridge]

Interesting Df thought that PS5 pro running path tracing would be more headline grabbing then Ac black flag resynced

[opaque sedge]

they used top tier versions of magnetic sticks

the same ones u can find in my g7 pro 8k

[bitter ridge]

Hope someone compared it to Elite series 2 and dual sense edge

[rancid juniper]

$100 green paper tho

[opaque sedge]

Its a controller fully compatible with steam

[rancid juniper]

because its made by valve lol

[opaque sedge]

Exactly

[bitter ridge]

What does this mean

[opaque sedge]

Im a sucker for cool controllers so i might get it

[bitter ridge]

Any controller can be used with steam games

[olive plaza]

Steam is OK but I think GOG is cooler

[velvet summit]

another day of waiting for the panther lake thinkpad t16 to release 😔 and another day of waiting for my package to clear customs

[rancid juniper]

thing looks like something you see in the late 90s/early 2000s

[opaque sedge]

A highly customizable controller u can customize within steam, most customizable controllers aren’t fully customizable in steam for example ones with extra buttons (some are supported tho notable ones being vader and apex series from flydigi and 8bitdos) but u will usually depend on their manufacturer’s software to customize inputs

[olive plaza]

I know Steam has a wider audience

[rancid juniper]

fat ah controller

[olive plaza]

MS Duke 3.0

[rancid juniper]

true

[opaque sedge]

The steam controller solves that issue as its gonna be fully customizable within steam

[olive plaza]

Steam: We can improve on that

[velvet summit]

i think gog is better in terms of actual game ownership but steam client has more features

[bitter ridge]

Wonder if they will bundle in a steam controller with the steam machine

[olive plaza]

I don't use Steam remote play, but that's a valid feature

[opaque sedge]

According to gamer’s nexus there’s going to be a bundle

So the controller will end up being an additional cost sadly

[olive plaza]

Another way to look at it is, they're giving you the option to not get the controller if you have a Dualsense, and you get a discount for that

[bitter ridge]

It definitely isn't winning in the looks department compared to the other 2

[opaque sedge]

Honestly nice size

[rancid juniper]

they probably still waiting for the ram/ssd prices to go down ig

[olive plaza]

I'm not surprised the steam machine/frame are delayed

i.e. supply chain

[bitter ridge]

Despite what steam fanboys say I think they will have trouble selling the steam machine long term if the MSRP is over 650

[olive plaza]

I don't

particularly if it is head-and-shoulders above the experience you'd get from a used PC in that price range

what can you realistically get for 700 bucks on the used market right now, an RTX 3060?

with like a R5 3600

[bitter ridge]

3060 has more VRAM it's closest equivalent would be 7600 non xt

[olive plaza]

Steam machine buyers aren't necessarily the type to check individual specs

Maybe 5% of them are

[bitter ridge]

So they are likely to hook the thing UpTo a 4k tv expecting 4k output

[olive plaza]

And they'll get 4k output

with loads of FSR

LOL

[bitter ridge]

That works for PS5 because it has enough memory

Upscaling still doesn't help much with memory usage

[heady plinth]

4k with fsr 3 and 8gb of vram is going to be mud textures.

[olive plaza]

oh absolutely

it's not gonna be great

we'll have to wait and see I guess

[heady plinth]

Or it's 1080p, fsr ~quality where needed or dynamic, then stretch. Might be preferable even.

[olive plaza]

I wonder if they'll give the option, like PS5 does

1080p with better framerate / quality

or 4K but it's worse

[elfin mural]

https://youtu.be/wfr4QN1Hvhs

the new steam controller is cool as hell

oh

someone already posted it

this is staying because yes

[opaque sedge]

there's high modding potential too if third party companies make parts for it like they did with the steam deck

for example switching out the membrane for the dpad and facebuttons to microswitches

[bitter ridge]

What are they doing to stop triggers thought the touchpads while using the sticks

[rancid juniper]

@opaque sedge is definitely gonna buy that controller day one

[opaque sedge]

Idk

I have plenty controllers for now

[rancid juniper]

another one wouldn't hurt

[opaque sedge]

I do need a new mouspad and keyboard instead tho

[bitter ridge]

Because no way anyone can avoid resting their Palms on the touchpads while using the sticks

[opaque sedge]

if its similar to the steam deck i dont think thats going to be difficult

And u can disable the trackpads too

[bitter ridge]

About to watch the Linus vid on it

Because I think he is better suited for reviewing something a bit subjective

[opaque sedge]

Apparently he just gave a quick overview

Gamers nexus did a latency test with ldat but they didn’t make comparisons with currently available top pc controllers

[bitter ridge]

The elite series 2 and dual sense edge ?

[bitter ridge]

Always been a Rog Ally guy so no idea what the deck is like

[opaque sedge]

He compared with a xbox one controller wired and a dualsense bt

[bitter ridge]

Who

[opaque sedge]

Gamersnexus

[bitter ridge]

Damn

[opaque sedge]

During the steamcontroller latency test

Many pc gamers love dualsense controllers iirc when wired

[bitter ridge]

I do remember him comparing 1060 to PS5 on his original PS5 review so not surprised

[opaque sedge]

Apparently has one of the best latencies

Wish he compared latency to a dualsense wired or a third party controller thats at the top of the latency charts like the g7pro/8k or flydigi vader5 pro

[bitter ridge]

dual sense runs at 1000hz and Xbox at 250 iirc

[opaque sedge]

Idk of its confirmed yet but the steam controller’s polling rate might apparently be 250hz

Really tho the thing should be compared with “premium” third party controllers given its premium price

[bitter ridge]

Yes that is why I said the elite series 2 and dual sense edge

[dusk knot]

👍

[proud jackal]

Hmm

[opaque sedge]

ooof wtf man

250hz?

in big 2026

on a 100 dolla controller

[bitter ridge]

I thought the series 2 was 250 as well

[proud jackal]

Sense edge is 180

[opaque sedge]

There’s chinese controllers for 20 bucks with 8k polling rates (not that polling rate equates to better latency)

[proud jackal]

$

[opaque sedge]

This could possibly be due to the controller’s dependence on steaminput tho

Steam input when enabled typically chops polling rate significantly

Exactly to 250hz iirc

So they could potentially increase it with an update

[nocturne flicker]

'S 'cause it is probably the best controller Sony has put out ever

I'd like it if they got rid of the track pad tho

Does anyone actually use that?

[opaque sedge]

Do u use one too?

[opaque sedge]

Its prolly dedicated to mini games for PlayStation titles

[wary fjord]

It meant nothing. Ngl xD other prefer 125-250 still.

[opaque sedge]

Think u gotta flick a flint in ghost of yotei with the trackpad iirc

[nocturne flicker]

It is the gamepad I use when I use one, yes

[nocturne flicker]

'S just a gimmick

[opaque sedge]

Yup

[nocturne flicker]

[opaque sedge]

[outer urchin]

its like they aren't even aligned

<@&525119001324683264>

[bitter ridge]

With relatively powerful handhelds being a thing it really elevated some of these gaming playtimes

[outer urchin]

thanks dude

[worthy meteor]

what are you talking about

I see nothing wrong with the images

[bitter ridge]

Camera is focusing on the motherboard heatsinks so can't see the main subject

[grand kernel]

it would be easier to help if you... described the problem

[bitter ridge]

Earilier he was saying something about cooler installation issues

[grand kernel]

looks fine to me

[outer urchin]

The screws

@grand kernel @worthy meteor

my cpu cooler

and the screws

sorry

the spring screws

[grand kernel]

ok so what about them

[olive plaza]

What model cooler is this?

[outer urchin]

rt500tc high performance cpu cooler

[outer urchin]

it isnt going in the hole I think i fixed it now tho

do I scree all the way, my cpu fsn stopped moving

i picked my mobo up by the fsn

[grand kernel]

you should consider reading the manual

[outer urchin]

fan

[outer urchin]

hmmm smart

[bitter ridge]

If it is popular there might be videos of people installing your exact one

[proud jackal]

[olive plaza]

You need to actively push down on the screw in order to get it to start latching onto the bracket below

hold the cooler while you do it, so the cooler doesn't move

Hm

[olive plaza]

back on the Steam Controller subject again

I think it's too much money

[proud jackal]

We have two kidneys

[bitter ridge]

I dig the nail polish colour

[olive plaza]

if they included some black stick-on nails

worth the $99 /s

[proud jackal]

Do I scalp the 5090FE

[dusk knot]

dont really care much for the new controlller.

I just want to play my games simply

[bitter ridge]

You can play the games simply through the new controller

[olive plaza]

I'm working on an article about the Steam Controller to be posted on the Newegg Gamer Community

[dusk knot]

I’m good with my current controller

[pliant berry]

But you need a new controller

[tranquil pebble]

I was expecting the Steam controller to be like half the price it is

[nocturne flicker]

I excepted it to not be fugly

[tranquil pebble]

I hope the build quality matches the price at least

[pliant berry]

Am I the only one that thought it would be more than 100?

[nocturne flicker]

I had no expectations on price

[tranquil pebble]

we are going to get to a point where $100 is the minimum you can spend on almost anything at this rate

[pliant berry]

Yup

[tranquil pebble]

Valve would not have priced it that high without reason so something is up

[nocturne flicker]

Maybe subsidize the actual PC

Get it just a little cheaper

Not much I imagine

But with everything going on I imagine they need to get the price lower any way they can

[tranquil pebble]

I'm almost afraid of what the Frame will cost

[bitter ridge]

500 ?

[tranquil pebble]

but I will most likely still buy it

[pliant berry]

Most estimates were putting the frame around ~700usd iirc

[bitter ridge]

Steam machine soc is apparently what Microsoft was supposed to put in their surface laptops

[pliant berry]

I think it would make sense if the pricing was closer to the index than any of meta’s offerings

[north crescent]

Slightly less than complete index set or smth

[dusk knot]

The labor cost…….

No

[olive plaza]

what is this

assuming two 8 hour days, you're saying this employee gets $125/hr

sign me up tbh

I'll do it

[dusk knot]

I could do it

I have no job

[olive plaza]

am I allowed to post links to newegg's gamer community forum or will they get bonked

[dusk knot]

Not sure

[olive plaza]

death by fire lets try it lol

ayye

[upper wedge]

somebody's buying my 7800xt for $450, only issue is my cousin is using it atm

I don't want to rip out my graphics card out of his pc and leave him w/o one, should I try getting him a 5070, 4070ti, perhaps a 9070?

[bitter ridge]

All three would be a superior experience to the 7800xt so yes

[north crescent]

Will say that 20ms latency isnt exactly impressive for high end wireless. Fair few options with say 10ms button/stick latency for wireless. Could be diff ways of measurement ofc too (different tools and such), havent really checked that

But yeah cool review tho

[olive plaza]

9070 is the best of those 3 options as long as he doesn't stream on Twitch

[upper wedge]

Good thing he doesn’t

[olive plaza]

then there you go

[olive plaza]

the fact it's still 19ms wired makes me feel it's possibly a testing methodology thing

[upper wedge]

Only issue is trying to find a good one at close to original MSRP

[olive plaza]

that's not happening

if you're looking for something close to original MSRP then go with a 5070, there's been a few recently around 549

just bear in mind they use 12V-2X6

[upper wedge]

Yeah he’s got a psu with a 12v connector

[olive plaza]

Perfect then

[upper wedge]

I’ve seen a few 4070tis for 550 though on fbm

[olive plaza]

I'd get a new 5070 over a used 4070ti

[upper wedge]

What I was thinking tbh, considering 4.5 dlss

[north crescent]

They are a fair few controllers with wired being equal to wireless, even at 15ms+ wired. So that isnt too much of a red flag to me
