Should I upgrade from 3070 to RX 9070

[velvet summit]

seperate from the motherboard? put in the io shield from inside the case, push till it clicks in or is flush ish

[nocturne flicker]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Dominos ruined a pizza

And now my car will smell like veggies for ages

[grand kernel]

read the manual and/or find a pc build video

this is not something you need to be pinging for

the motherboard manual teaches you how to build your pc step by step

please reserve pings for more specific questions that aren't answered by reading the manual

[olive plaza]

When I was in line at micro center for the 9070xt launch, two of the people in line around me were upgrading from their 3070

It's a pretty good uplift especially for the vram

[onyx merlin]

Dead chat

[tall pine]

Depends on if you want to make some extra bucks or if you'd rather be generous and sell at MSRP.

Keep in mind if your plan is to buy a 6090 or whatever the next flagship is, those are all going to be above MSRP as well.

With a config like this image, any suggestions on how I can route/separate the hot air from the GPU away from the ram and radiator?

I am working on a new design for my Compact Case project and I want to ensure all components are receiving fresh air and that the hot air is not being spread around.

[velvet summit]

to be fair, the automated reply did recommend tagging techies and didn't recommend checking google or the manual prior to that
honestly i think it should be edited or removed

[worn night]

Now thats cool

[worn night]

Confused Speed

[grand kernel]

sure, but i already told them to read the manual the last time they pinged for something that the manual would have answered

[velvet summit]

oh

in that case 💀

[worn night]

no matter what in an open air case like that there will always be some marginally warmer air being sent all the way through

but to minimize it, that case's setup is already optimal

[stuck pelican]

Is there a way to make my cpu not run so hot lol
I have a 14900k
Running at 91° on warzone

[tall pine]

Give me like 10m and I will send the setup I was working on. I rotated the GPU and placed intakes on the front so the GPU and rad act as exhausts to the side and the front intake also cools the ram and VRMs with fresh air.

[tall pine]

Options from worst to best performing:

• Lower power limit
• Better cooler and thermal paste
• Delid and do a custom loop

[stuck pelican]

I have a kraken 360
Wit lian li fans on it

[worn night]

In that case just set pump and fans to 100%

they should already be that speed anyway

with a 14900k

[stuck pelican]

Ill go into nzxt and lconnect software and check

[worn night]

nah just get Fancontrol

https://getfancontrol.com

[heady plinth]

Contact frame can help a lot too.

[worn night]

then this

[worn night]

idk about after the cpu has already been used

the temperature benefits of a frame come from both a non framed and a framed cpu's long term temps

[stuck pelican]

The only issue is i dont wanna mess with my fan curves i have right now

[heady plinth]

I didn't bother putting mine on until after a couple years. It was like 8C for me.

[worn night]

they should just be at 100% anyway unless you somehow dont like the noise..

[heady plinth]

*In prime 95

100% speed is the opposite of what I'd ever want to do.

[worn night]

petty tbh

[velvet summit]

then you have even less worry about voiding warranty

[worn night]

100% fan speed is the first step to better temps, always

[heady plinth]

Contact frame won't void your warranty. If your mobo breaks just put the old ilm back on before sending it in.

[velvet summit]

idk if they've ever voided any warranties from it but knowing most pc companies, they never want to warranty your item

[nocturne flicker]

Driving innovation into the same ditch as your car

[heady plinth]

It's like overclocking, what they don't know can't hurt you.

[velvet summit]

also wasnt the 14900k the cpu that was known to be pretty hot due to how aggressive it boosted to like 200 or 300 watts or whatever
or maybe that was the 14900ks? i forget

[worn night]

both

I wanna get one, my 240mm aio can handle it frfr

[velvet summit]

trust

[worn night]

if I did find a really good deal on one and get it, id just disable the e cores

and have a boosted 9700x 🔥🔥🔥

[worn night]

looks like the curve is already at 100% forever

[stuck pelican]

alr

[worn night]

what about fans tho, thats just the pump

[stuck pelican]

quite loud

[worn night]

if you wanna hear loud then set gpu fans to 100%

aio fans cannot be that unbearably loud.. no way

[stuck pelican]

oops i applied to all fans

lol

[worn night]

well run some games or a stress test and see if the temp changes

[worn night]

thats good

keep like that and test temps under load

[stuck pelican]

alr

About 80° randomly spikes to 90 but drops down immediately after

Yeah 75° - 80 not bad

[velvet summit]

A standard cover letter utilizes a professional business letter format.

You should use single spaced lines with 1 inch margins, using a 12 point font in a typeface such as Arial, left aligned. You should aim for 1 page maximum, with a header, introduction, body, and closing paragraph. (3-6 paragraphs total.)
Sign off the cover letter with "Sincerely," followed by your name.

This format should help you look professional and help employers see your value and hire you.

my 7900 xt is just above what i need for my edge case uses so i'm sticking with it until RDNA 5 or a 32GB N4X 9070 xt refresh, whichever happens first (probably RDNA 5, i think the refresh is dead lol)

Gonna be 2 thousand dollars given the prices of current handhelds 😭

[ashen swan]

If their targeting smth like Rog ALLY
then it would be fire

the pricing

eh

[upper rain]

PS6 handheld will anchor it imo

[ashen swan]

I'll wait for computex

[opaque sedge]

I hope they’re not targeting xbox ally performance ngl, same chip as the steam deck with a 5w higher max tdp

[upper rain]

$1k will be the max i think. PS6 handheld probably $800

maybe $700

[opaque sedge]

The ps6 systems according to rumors are gonna have a hella ram…. They could cost upwards of 1k too

[upper rain]

by the time they launch ram should be cheaper

[ashen swan]

by the time computex comes I'll hopefully have enough money

[opaque sedge]

I hope so

[ashen swan]

though if the Chip shortage is true then

we're all cooked

[opaque sedge]

I would prolly be open to getting a playstation handheld over an entire console ngl

[upper rain]

ram is so expensive becuase OpenAI bought like 1/3 of RAM allocation for the year. that was a one time thing, they're not going to continue doing that. they literally don't have the money to. they probably didn't have the money to do it this time either actually

supply is already slowly catching up

[opaque sedge]

Hopefully the handhelds gonna get the same games as the base system

[opaque sedge]

Yk microslop swooped in and took over that role right…

[upper rain]

i'm hoping they put the handheld SoC in a mini-box for $200-300 less and sell it as an S console. i might buy one of those

[upper rain]

took over what?

openai?

[opaque sedge]

Buying up all the ram

After open ai kind of rug pulled

[upper rain]

not really, Microsoft and Google just partnered to secure future inventory to prevent future rugpulls

great

[upper rain]

they haven't increased purchases meaningfully to my knowledge, they are just trying to prevent another OpenAI moment

which imo is kinda silly because OpenAI seems to have just completely offed itself with that deal lol

Microsoft is pissed with them and yet they're so down the gutter financially that they're courting Microsoft to bail them out of it

they literally can't even use the dram they bought, it's uncut wafers in a warehouse. it's gonna have to hit the market eventually when they liquidate

Chinese OEMs are gonna have a field day reselling them lol

[ashen swan]

MAN WHY DID PANTHER LAKE LAUNCH AT SUCH A BAD YEAR

[upper rain]

probably low power SKUs. a lot of clockspeed related defects are just leaky voltage, and when you tune it down the silicon works fine. i don't see a problem with this tbh

likely worse efficiency than the good bins but i'm assuming these are also priced low

[ashen swan]

sad

I'll prob order my stuff at like august

so all the dram openai bought is still in wafer form?

that's rough

Hey chat, I got a question for y'all. Let's say a user made a post on Reddit about getting scammed by Newegg. But our records show and prove that we sent out the correct item. How would you deal w/ them?

Ping me w/ your answers

[tranquil pebble]

Rare Ubi W?

[bitter ridge]

Their games are industry leading in terms of not stuttering I would say very often get Ws

[bitter ridge]

Show the records through the official reddit account

[sinful blade]

Show the proof on their post, then restrict their account if they continue to post falsehoods.

[bitter ridge]

Could be both are right and the middle man like delivery drivers did something

[elfin mural]

If it goes deeper than a fraud attempt, then the delivery partner should be looked into

Communication is key ofc, especially with reddit scam claims

[sinful blade]

Reddit users are notorious for lying.

[royal crow]

Show the fulfillment receipt or something, get tracking data from shipping company, see if there's evidence of fraud on the buyer's part, and if there is, shame them for if

[olive plaza]

I'm with Roomba on this one - Reply on the post, first stating exactly who you are and that you are a Newegg employee, and that you take claims like this very seriously. So you looked into it, and found proof that you sent out the correct item, and then show that proof on the post.

Then link us to it so we can all upvote your reply.

If they continue talking about it then you can let them know Newegg is working with the delivery courier to check into whether this happened on their end or whether this happened after delivery, and that they should consider not discussing it further as libel is a crime.

[grand wasp]

I think this is a great idea, thanks guys for responding back. The main issue I have with this is Scams and Security are ALWAYS a game of cat and mouse. If we show how we prove our processes, the audience will eventually find a way to overcome that security feature.

Currently, I don't have approval to showcase our security measures to Reddit, but honestly, I like your ideas so far

[olive plaza]

Then you dial it back to what you're allowed to do

Something like this:
Hey this is David from Newegg. We take claims like this very seriously, so we looked into this particular case and found proof of us sending out the correct item. We have photo/video evidence leading up to the point of the package being picked up by the delivery courier. We are currently working with the delivery courier to determine if what happened here was before or after the point of delivery

[grand wasp]

Good points made from y'all

[grand wasp]

literally the FIRST question I asked to the team

[olive plaza]

during covid I had a package delivered to me that was sliced open, containing a Radeon VII

except it didn't contain the Radeon VII anymore

[grand wasp]

mmmmmmmmmm

OOF

[olive plaza]

Happened in transit

[elfin mural]

Some people suck

[olive plaza]

The seller didn't want to handle the claim. And it's their responsibility to do so

[elfin mural]

GPU shipments get stolen, return frauds are becoming more and more common (at least in amazon's case, a lot of people were affected)

Amazon's return policy is pretty easy to abuse

[olive plaza]

I have a friend in Delaware who had ordered a brand new CPU from Amazon and received the box

no CPU inside

I think it was a 7800X3D

I'm not entirely sure how that happens but I would imagine it involved somebody buying and returning the item after taking the CPU out, and lazy Amazon employees not even looking at it before they put it back on a shelf

it's more and more widespread as the economy gets worse, sadly

[elfin mural]

It's just like when the ram shortage got real bad

People received inferior ram in their brand new package that was clearly tampered with

Or even just metal weights

[olive plaza]

I think Corsair was the ones who said they were changing their packaging

so it's clear

[dense locust]

amazon does not check contents or its that staff doesnt care enough to check

[olive plaza]

bc Corsair for the longest time, had those solid yellow boxes

and return scams got so prevalent they changed the box

that's how you know it's bad, when a manufacturer changes their packaging

[elfin mural]

Amazon lost my trust for tech items tbh

All because of scams and fraud

Fake shops aren't as bad as return scams

[bitter ridge]

The scale Amazon works I think there are bound to be some hiccups

[olive plaza]

Amazon also has a cutoff for value, where if you're returning an item over a certain dollar amount, you don't get your refund until the item is received back and verified

And then they don't verify the item anyway half the time, at least it feels like

[olive plaza]

When I do buy on Amazon for tech items, which is fairly rare for me, I tend to get the Amazon warehouse deals. Because each one has an individual case number with Amazon internally, so if I receive the wrong item, they'll look back on the cameras and see when it was processed in as a warehouse deal originally

versus a new item that some employee or delivery carrier tampered with

where they have no idea when the tampering happened

But THEN do what doug said

[elfin mural]

and is it really safe? lmao

it's a fundamentally bad design

idk how pci-sig approved it

[rancid juniper]

Nvidia money

easy

[upper rain]

1080 ti is glazed so much because like 4090 it was overpriced as hell at launch, but you could get them for $400 the second turing launched because of the mining collapse, as well as Turing being so disappointing.

Blackwell sure is disappointing, but good luck getting a $400 4090. 4090 will be looked on like the 3090. should have paid up like a good little pay pig when it was at MSRP and just held onto it through the storm

@grand wasp I'm sorry but I don't trust raidmax at all no matter how cheap the psu is

They're known to make borderline bombs

Now idk about this particular one, someone should review it in detail and report in a tier list or smth

[bitter ridge]

Context ? Where are you seeing raid max

[elfin mural]

It's in the polls channel

It's apparently C tier, but there are some marketing claims that have been proven to be false that raidmax have made

[bitter ridge]

Hmmm it mentions 5060/7700 in the post

[elfin mural]

A bit sketch

[bitter ridge]

Claiming something that the product doesn't actually have is rather suspicious

[upper rain]

idk who that is i've been brainrotting since the big '21

[elfin mural]

I see, that's interesting

[upper rain]

265kf with manual power limit:

$220 is a steal for that level of performance

[olive plaza]

I was basically told that the methodology was explained within the list, but I couldn't find it

[upper rain]

only eats 150 ish watts at stock profile anyway, you'd probably lose very little performance if you undervolted it properly in addition ti reducing PL

[olive plaza]

and when I said I didn't see it listed, nobody was helpful

That said

I've used dozens upon dozens of the 850W model of Raidmax Cobrapower

up to and including 5070Ti with zero issues

[elfin mural]

So it should be alright for the most part then

[olive plaza]

My day job was using them pretty heavily until we started using more Rosewill

[grand kernel]

what do you mean we need a safety factor and load balancing?

just send 550A through one tiny pin what could go wrong

[olive plaza]

Personally, I wouldn't use a Raidmax with a 30 series

but the transient spikes are way smaller on 40 and 50 series

[elfin mural]

the connector melts itself in the background

[grand kernel]

16AWG can handle that right?

[olive plaza]

The build on my desk at this moment has a Gigabyte 5090 and a darkFlash 1250W

[grand kernel]

darkflash psu pairs well with orange flash gpu

[elfin mural]

fancy

[grand kernel]

orange flash when the 12vhpwr connector self immolates

🔥

[olive plaza]

I mean that's correct

12vhpwr bad, 12v-2x6 good

There's new depth specifications on the physical connector

[grand kernel]

more like 12v-2x6 slightly less bad

still terrible

[olive plaza]

You're free to feel that way

[grand kernel]

all the still melting 50 series cards are also free to feel that way

[bitter ridge]

Both are terrible to pronounce

[grand kernel]

heck even that one model of 9070xt that uses it is melting

[elfin mural]

https://wccftech.com/nvidia-bumps-rtx-5070-laptop-gpu-to-12gb-gddr7-memory/

12gb 5070 laptop is real

[grand kernel]

I just feel like pcie power was a solved problem and we unsolved it

[elfin mural]

i bet it slots in place of the pre ram crisis 5070ti laptops

[olive plaza]

So, hands on experience from my perspective, my day job has shipped over 1000 PCs now with the new 12V connector, between the two types

[bitter ridge]

One plug that power the gpu has a certain appeal to it

[wary fjord]

Just diy it and use 8AWG

[elfin mural]

but tbh i could use a 12gb 5070 laptop gpu lol

perfect for me

[grand kernel]

I mean even a 1/10000 catastrophic failure rate is unacceptable

[rancid juniper]

hmmm

[grand kernel]

anecdotal sample size of 1000 doesn't say much

[olive plaza]

Ah, so I'm dealing with unreasonable

[grand kernel]

we didn't see all these melting gpus with pcie 8-pin

[olive plaza]

nevermind then I'll get back to work

[grand kernel]

because it's a better spec

[olive plaza]

XD

"A sample size of 1000 GPUs doesn't say much" is pretty wild to me

[grand kernel]

nvidia and pci-sig don't know you exist man you don't need to defend them for free

are you denying that the failure rate is astronomically higher with the new connector?

[rancid juniper]

rage bait to previous RTX 5070 mobile buyers

[olive plaza]

I don't know whether it's astronomically higher or not. But you didn't give me a chance to tell you how many failures we had in over 1000 GPUs

[wary fjord]

Its either the gpu melting or the PSU itself is melting.. everyday they playing russian roulette

[olive plaza]

It's 1, and it was on the PSU end

[wary fjord]

Why does 24 pin never failed

But 12 does

[rancid juniper]

its just the connector

[wary fjord]

Should we make 24 pin instead of 12 pin for gpu?

[rancid juniper]

that thing takes way too much power/heat for its thin size

[wary fjord]

😂

[olive plaza]

One thing we never did at my day job, was use the adapters

[wary fjord]

24 pin so sturdy it can lift the whole pc

[olive plaza]

We always just used a straight-through 12V cable

[bitter ridge]

I think better communication when someone does have a failure is making it seem like there is a higher rate of failure

[grand kernel]

1/1000 is not a good failure rate when we're talking about electrical fire

safety factor should be high to account for user error as well, I'm sure yall do it better at work than the average user

[olive plaza]

I mean you're right. But it's also less failure than we had with Intel 13-14th gen

[grand kernel]

yep and both can be terrible

I had no issues with my 4080 but had issues with my i7-13700K

[nocturne flicker]

Way less wattage with way more pins

[grand kernel]

that's a sample size of 1 though

[olive plaza]

We shipped several thousand 13th-14th gen systems. 3 failures

2 of those failures were after customers flashed their own BIOS after delivery (we already update them before shipping) and the new BIOS was on defaults, with power limits not set to Intel's default behavior

[grand kernel]

my i7-13700K ran controlled voltage since day 1

[olive plaza]

so we had 1 legitimate failure

[grand kernel]

still decided to self immolate to the point where 4.5p3.0e would bsod immediately

lol

[rancid juniper]

running my 13600k for 3 years now, no issues

can handle voltages under 1.1v

[olive plaza]

Yeah, that'll happen

[grand kernel]

13600k much safer

[bitter ridge]

It's a ticking time bomb and by the time everyone cpu becomes unstable the warranty would have ended

[grand kernel]

not being pushed as hard

[olive plaza]

as an aside, my personal sample size of 1 has no issues

[rancid juniper]

true

[olive plaza]

which is a 14900k

[wary fjord]

And it has thicc pins too right?

[olive plaza]

If there's one "failure" I'd like to see go away completely

[worn night]

12 pin high power

[rancid juniper]

^^^

[olive plaza]

it's Ryzen memory support being bad

[grand kernel]

funny thing is raptor lake isn't the first time intel pushed an architecture to the point of stability issues at stock in recent memory

the 10900K issues were just less widespread and got less attention

[rancid juniper]

isn't Ryzen I/O finnicky as well?

[bitter ridge]

Meaning?

I plug stuff in and it works

[wary fjord]

if they melt they melt.. just but new gpu no biggie. Just minor oopsie

[rancid juniper]

usb/keeb stuff

[upper rain]

the issue is specifically related to high stock voltages, so if you are running low voltages it should be fine

[bitter ridge]

Yeah same for those plug n play with no hassle

I have been Ryzen customer since zen 2

[rancid juniper]

14900k pumped to 1.6v

wild

[upper rain]

yeah lol

[grand kernel]

yeah my wifi/bt issues are back on my 9800x3d

I thought agesa 1.3.0.0a fixed them

[rancid juniper]

Was gonna ask if you got it fixed oof

[grand kernel]

looks like it's an improvement but still not fixed

they didn't drop for like 3 weeks

[bitter ridge]

My youngest sister is currently using the 3700x and it had a long life of being used for over half a decade

[rancid juniper]

Have you tested another board perhaps?

[grand kernel]

it's not a big deal to me cause I don't actually use wifi/bt but it's nice to have the option so it sucks that it's unstable

[proud jackal]

Idk

[grand kernel]

no

[rancid juniper]

Probably a board issue 🤔

[wary fjord]

I have that too.. they work sometimes... Most of the time they wont show at all .. device manager has yellow 🟡 mark on it

[grand kernel]

yep same

I thought it was unstable oc at first

[wary fjord]

I gave up on it.. i just use Ethernet

[grand kernel]

but issue persists after reverting all oc

I think the ryzen i/o die just can't handle the load of 3 nvme ssds

cause it only started happening after I went from 1 nvme to 3 nvmes

[rancid juniper]

That's kinda funny

[grand kernel]

none of them are gen 5 even

3x gen 4

[rancid juniper]

[grand kernel]

setting the 9070xt to gen 4 didn't fix anything either

[bitter ridge]

First time seeing 5090 in a chart hope they do some crazy things with the horsepower

[rancid juniper]

Seeing the 13600k in recommended reqs far more frequently lately

[grand kernel]

one day I'll purchase an AMD product and not feel like a beta tester

[upper wedge]

system requirements being new gen?

[wary fjord]

Thats fake 😢 wheres 5700 non xt as gpu recommendation

[upper wedge]

anybody here know if ebay can price match newegg absurd pricing on there?

[bitter ridge]

Looks like I have food poisoning

[wary fjord]

What should we do.. xD lets ask the map where the hospital is

You can try your luck in bidding

[grand kernel]

9070xt too

my 9070xt still doesn't work with 165hz

[rancid juniper]

bruh

[wary fjord]

Maybe ur cable is out of spec. Just maybe..

[grand kernel]

same cable that worked perfectly fine at 1440p165 with gtx 1060, rx 5700xt, rtx 3070, rtx 3080, rtx 3090, rtx 4080, and rtx 5070ti

I don't think it's the cable's fault

[wary fjord]

Ow

[rancid juniper]

i run 170hz on my 9070 xt just fine using a DP cable

dude's PC is just experimental af

[wary fjord]

All slot? Cant make it work?

[grand kernel]

yep

[wary fjord]

Welp

[rancid juniper]

Kelp

[grand kernel]

that's what I'm saying lol

I just gave up

and run 1440p144 now

no diff anyway

but it was annoying to troubleshoot

cause at 165hz it would work 99% of the time but randomly black out before coming back as if the monitor restarted

the monitor would show the resolution and refresh rate when it came back like it does when you first turn it on

[bitter ridge]

Could it be because the resolution refresh rate combo is less popular than 1440p240 and 144

[olive plaza]

This was the entire reason why 10850K existed lol

@grand kernel what model of 9070XT is it, and are you still running Windows or did you swap to Linux when you went to AMD

just out of pure curiosity

[proud jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/bocchi-the-rock-anime-sad-gif-27615865

[upper wedge]

Anyone here have experience with captial one shopping & their cashback?

I can get a 9070xt for 606$ after their 200$ cashback offer

[grand kernel]

9070xt steel legend

happens on both windows and arch

so i know it's not a driver or oc issue

I don't have it oced on arch

[grand kernel]

I'm not sure the issue was absent on the 10850K

I believe it was caused by the ring bus architecture that was designed for 4 cores being stretched to 10 cores

maybe a lower stock ring clock helped?

the issue was extremely rare on the 10900K anyway so it's possible that it just coincidentally never happened on a 10850K that was reported

10850K probably would have released regardless for binning purposes

just took a while due to an... extremely mature process node

14nm++++ lol

[pseudo raven]

my 9070xt does 170 just fine

though I don't think my monitor is supposed to do 170

[grand kernel]

the same cable and monitor worked flawlessly with at least 8 other gpus, a different os, and all manner of drivers

it's the gpu's fault

all manner of cpus and mobos too and even some igpus

[rancid juniper]

radeon trolling for the 9848451321864th time?

[grand kernel]

it might not be every 9070xt

but my 9070xt definitely got something going on there

interesting thing is

[rancid juniper]

i guess i got lucky with my gpu (sort of)

[grand kernel]

in the custom resolution menu

[rancid juniper]

vram wants to gamble

[grand kernel]

it gives me a warning symbol on the pixel clock whenever I exceed 154hz at 1440p

and 1440p 154hz is perfectly stable

but 1440p 155hz is not

can you test that actually

see if you get any sort of warning on a custom resolution of 1440p 155hz

[rancid juniper]

lol

yall back?

[grand kernel]

intermittently

I thought it was an issue with the guest wifi here

[rancid juniper]

thought i got hacked for a second

[velvet summit]

lmao

like 40 of my servers went down

[sinful blade]

We all dying

[velvet summit]

the rest were working fine

dms as well

[tranquil pebble]

discord server is on fire

[craggy shoal]

I thought I was banned lol

[tranquil pebble]

Cloudflare outage? Oh god

[grand kernel]

yeah I hacked you

I'm gonna steal your 9070xt over the internet so I can finally run my monitor at full refresh rate

yoink

[rancid juniper]

so you shutdown discord just to catch me?

[grand kernel]

what's your daily tune again

[rancid juniper]

for what? GPU?

[grand kernel]

would you trade yours for a card that does -60/2754 but has to run 1440p at 154hz

yeah

[grand kernel]

I feel like the diff between 144hz and 165hz is literally nothing anyway thats why it doesn't bother me enough to look into rma or something

cause what if I rma it and get a worse sample lol

[rancid juniper]

i think you should RMA, for a peace of mind

[grand kernel]

oh you have basically the same tune

[rancid juniper]

you'll go nuts if you don't

[grand kernel]

from what I understand this is quite a bit better than average for 9070xt

[rancid juniper]

if i OC my cpu, the UV on the gpu will be unstable until i turn it down to -40mv

[grand kernel]

-40 to -50 is common for actual stability

lol what

interesting

[rancid juniper]

yes

stock + uv brings it as high as -55mv

[grand kernel]

you'd think those wouldn't really interact

my best guess would be that the gpu tries to stretch its legs a little more when your cpu is oced? I wouldn't expect stock 13600k to be a major bottleneck for the 9070xt but I'm sure it manages to be the limiting factor at certain moments

[rancid juniper]

ah well, its funny since adrenalin causes WHEA errors when stressing the cpu under prime95. If you launch the application it might freeze or error out on a BAD CPU OC

[rancid juniper]

this may be the case

[grand kernel]

just one bad gpu boost spike would be enough to cause a timeout

I'm not a fan of the -mV system tbh I wish we had access to the v/f curve like nvidia or even older radeon gens

[rancid juniper]

finally, someone who doesn't like that limited junk

[grand kernel]

iirc older radeon gens didn't have a full v/f curve but you got control over 7 points?

[rancid juniper]

yes

[grand kernel]

-mV is just such an imprecise way of tuning

[rancid juniper]

i had more control over my 4060 mobile than this

[grand kernel]

I'm quite certain my card can do as much as -100mV stable at certain points on the curve

[rancid juniper]

heck tuning the RX 6700 XT was more fun thanks to MPT

[grand kernel]

but you just have to accept the lowest value that's stable across the entire curve

[rancid juniper]

I do not like the boosting algo on RDNA 4 as it always craves for power. I mean out the box the max clocks are 3.4GHZ

really bruh?

[grand kernel]

the annoying thing is often times you can stabilize a higher undervolt in more demanding situations where it would actually make more difference

and have to back it off for the lighter parts of the v/f curve where it doesn't matter as much

[grand kernel]

yeah I run -250 core clock and there's no difference

the gpu is never hitting 3200mhz anyway in a situation where the tuning actually matters

more like 2700-2800mhz lol

[rancid juniper]

-350mhz and more might do it, i had lower power readings on some scenarios instead of it hitting max power all the time

[grand kernel]

I suspect that running -250 allows me to stabilize a larger offset compared to -0

but that would take a long time to test in depth

either way there's literally 0 benefit to letting it theoretically boost to 3450mhz

[rancid juniper]

it'll barely hit that unless the game is super light or something

[grand kernel]

who cares if you see 3450mhz for 1 second in a light game where you're pushing 800 fps anyway

[rancid juniper]

heavier games will drop clocks to 2.8ghz and below easy

[grand kernel]

exactly

I actually quit the one game I played where seeing 3.2ghz was a thing

so I could probably even afford to try like -550mhz and -65 or -70mV lol

[sinful blade]

Not yet

[craggy shoal]

Is it planned? (just curious lol)

[grand kernel]

5mV is actually kind of a huge step compared to nvidia's 15mhz steps

[olive plaza]

@grand kernel do you want me to check if my 9070XT can do more than 144

I have a Challenger

[rancid juniper]

i can get that on a blank map in fortnite

[grand kernel]

check if you get a warning when setting a custom resolution of 1440p 155hz

or 154hz

[olive plaza]

ok I'll check tonight when I'm home

couple of hours

I'll ping you

[grand kernel]

yea I'm also not home so I can't show you what it looks like

but I get no warning at 154hz and a warning at 155hz

[sinful blade]

February 17th, 2028

[rancid juniper]

i kinda regret not getting my wisdom teeth pulled back in HS

[olive plaza]

I need to have like, several damaged teeth ripped out

[sinful blade]

You have until that day to get around the ban

[craggy shoal]

You to be insanely unlucky to have five wisdom teeth pulled

[grand kernel]

can you test it if you're at your pc

[craggy shoal]

I will swear word

heck

[sinful blade]

They were all wisdom teeth

[rancid juniper]

???

[sinful blade]

I had 5

[grand kernel]

I'm really curious about why mine does that and if it happens to other 9070xts

the custom resolution thing

see if it warns you

that warning is the main reason I thought it was just a hardware limitation of the 9070xt

[rancid juniper]

you mean this?

[grand kernel]

exceeding a certain pixel clock limit

yeah

you get the warning too

interesting

see that red exclamation mark next to 664730

does it go away if you set refresh rate to 154?

[rancid juniper]

i can get my monitor up to 173hz iirc

[grand kernel]

you don't need to apply it just type 154 in the field

[rancid juniper]

yuh

[grand kernel]

and that field should auto update

check 154 and 155hz

[grand kernel]

interesting

at what point does the warning show up for you?

for me 155hz shows the warning

[olive plaza]

I'm noticing your horizontal refresh is way higher Orange

like WAY higher

[grand kernel]

that's not mine

[olive plaza]

664730

[grand kernel]

but yeah I think 154hz on mine shows like 655k in that field

[rancid juniper]

210

[grand kernel]

so it's really odd that 155hz is only 606k for him

lol wtf

[olive plaza]

are you able to manually lower the G.Pixel Clock

[rancid juniper]

actually nvm, 201 is the upper limit

[grand kernel]

iirc I tried that and it said the timings were invalid

it might depend on the panel

[olive plaza]

my wife's monitor is 180Hz 1440

and she has a 9070 non XT

I'll check with her setup later

[grand kernel]

I only see the warning on the G.Pixel Clock field at 155hz but changing refresh changes that field automatically

and I can't budge it from what it automatically sets

it seems that my panel wants a higher pixel clock value per refresh rate than compooper's so maybe that's why 165hz won't work for me

I don't understand how monitor timings work

but yeah idk it's weird that my monitor was fine with so many other gpus including even an older radeon card

oh yeah I forgot even an rx 570 4gb was fine driving it at 1440p165

displayport 1.4 supports up to 240hz at 1440p and my cable is rated for displayport 1.4

monitor is also displayport 1.4

really weird how rx 570 4gb and rx 5700xt are handling the same cable and monitor better than a 9070xt

[olive plaza]

orange, from my quick googling and reading some forums

manually changing this to match your actual resolution might work

bc otherwise it might be calculating the pixel clock based on too high of a timing basis

[grand kernel]

interesting, I don't remember what it says in that field

[olive plaza]

some people reporting it has egregiously high numbers in that field

like 4000x3000

[grand kernel]

I'll have to check when I get home

lol wtf

[olive plaza]

thanks AMD

[grand kernel]

the same issue happens for me in arch and I just have whatever minimal driver is installed along with arch

so it's not unique to the windows driver

[olive plaza]

right. but if this is the default behavior

[grand kernel]

so yeah

weird default behavior for the card then

[olive plaza]

just something to look at

[grand kernel]

incorrectly detecting something about the panel

[olive plaza]

like this one for instance

[grand kernel]

lol what on earth

maybe it's just a flaw in the vbios for certain models and not all of them

[olive plaza]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[grand kernel]

cause clearly not everyone has this issue

I feel like this is definitely something a fair amount of people would rma for though

which makes me wonder why I don't see a newer vbios available

there should be incentive to fix this

[honest birch]

Use CRU

Not the radeon software

[grand kernel]

I mean I'm not even using the custom resolution anyway cause there's no point going from 144hz to 154hz

I was just using it for troubleshooting

[honest birch]

Ok

[grand kernel]

I just have it set to 144hz on windows and 120hz on linux cause there's no 144hz option

and it's stable like that

[honest birch]

You can add the option...

[grand kernel]

I figured

I just don't care enough lol

I don't game on linux only dev work

120hz is fine

[honest birch]

xrandr --output DP-1 --mode 1920x1080 --rate 144

Or whatever ur monitor is

Just an example

Soup not chunky enough

Disappointed

[pliant berry]

oh no

[nocturne flicker]

Brother eats chunky tomato soup?

[pliant berry]

feel free to ask any questions you might have in #peripherals-and-displays

[velvet summit]

that tomato soup looks more like ketchup than tomato soup

[nocturne flicker]

Almost as if tomato soup and ketchup are primarily made of pureed tomatoes

[worn night]

Its gotta have some soft tomato chunks in it bro

And his soup looks thin as heck

At least make it thicc

[velvet summit]

but like different levels of pureed
ketchup is typically pureed till it is perfectly smooth (specifically bottled ketchups)
tomato soup tends to be more... rustic? and isnt perfectly smooth, and is usually a bit more lumpy if that makes sense

though canned tomato soup tends to be closer to ketchup

but canned tomato soup kinda sucks

it just doesnt taste right

[nocturne flicker]

Tomato soup is usually just as smooth as ketchup, the difference is flavor and viscosity

[sinful blade]

Tomato soup should be thin and no chunks
Tomato sauce should be thick and no chunks
Specialized tomato sauce should have chunks(like marinara)

Thank you, no further discussion

[velvet summit]

idk what tomato soups you're drinking but when i make tomato soup at home and get it at resturants, they're typically more on the "chunky" side

else there's basically no texture

it's not chunky in the sense there's a whole ass tomato chunk in it

[nocturne flicker]

I don't drink tomato soup either way. It used to give me stomach irritation and I don't even like the flavor

But when my mother made it, she made sure to puree it

[velvet summit]

tomato soup is good when done well, but when not then it's kinda shit

i have yet to consume a canned tomato soup that met my minimum bar of expectations so i don't eat canned tomato soups anymore

[nocturne flicker]

I mean, canned tomato anything should only be used when you can cook out the canned flavor

Otherwise it'll never taste alright

[velvet summit]

just searching for tomato soup images show majority more "chunky" tomato soups

[nocturne flicker]

Are we seeing the same thing?

The actual soup itself on most of those look smooth

Not industrial smooth of course

But they are still puree

[sinful blade]

Smooth, and thin

Purée

[bitter ridge]

Looks good and sci fi themed might try it out

[velvet summit]

that was what i meant by "chunky"

i described it as "rustic"

[velvet summit]

last line

[misty sparrow]

havent had tomato soup in years

[velvet summit]

this tomato soup looks like industrial ketchup

[nocturne flicker]

That looks like industrial tomato soup

[velvet summit]

probably from a can

[nocturne flicker]

Which is made pureed to the same degree as ketchup

[velvet summit]

but that's why i'm saying it looks more like ketchup than tomato soup (that i consider edible)

[worn night]

exactly

[olive plaza]

It's just Campbell's

[worn night]

Im suing Campbells

[olive plaza]

I'm on that poverty diet

[royal crow]

Just use tree my guy

[nocturne flicker]

Homemade ketchup is going to be more like the puree of a homemade tomato soup too. Because normal people don't have access to industrial grade equipment or have the time/will to make it finely pureed

[royal crow]

💔

[worn night]

I learned my lesson bro i am next time

[royal crow]

Have you been using the default this whole time

[olive plaza]

It is indeed a dollar can of Campbell's condensed tomato soup

[worn night]

No but I thought itd be fine for this print

Eh idc ts is fun

[royal crow]

Lmao

[sinful blade]

I have more ramen and pasta than anything in my cabinet

We gon get issues

[grand wasp]

Hey Chat!

If you guys could take this quick Yes or No poll, that would help out! Let your voice be heard!

#polls-polls-polls message

[worn night]

that aint a known vendor lol

[bitter ridge]

I think it should be fine for a 5060/7700 type rig which is written on the product description

[olive plaza]

To be blunt, this model is always 40 dollars anyway

[royal crow]

"Name-brand"

I wouldn't touch that thing with a 10 foot pole

[grand wasp]

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang

[bitter ridge]

This is like a 200w rig at max

[grand wasp]

Reddit's going to have a field day

the PM wants me to post this on buildapcsales

I'M SCARED GUYS

[sinful blade]

You should be

[grand wasp]

I'M SO SCARED

[olive plaza]

Why isn't the PM having you post a Rosewill PSU

[pliant berry]

this is the end for you

[olive plaza]

You know, the brand you make money on

[sinful blade]

Isn’t that raidmax psu an F tier

[pliant berry]

I don't actually know anything about the psu

[nocturne flicker]

Saint gonna get laughed out of buildapcsales

[bitter ridge]

With ram prices being what they are people are more likely to skimp extra hard on things like cases and power supplies

[sinful blade]

It’s only rated for a 5060/9070 max
So higher gpus are not going to like it

[nocturne flicker]

Also literally this

[grand kernel]

let's just say raidmax has their work cut out for them if they want their name to not basically be a curse word in the pc building community

[bitter ridge]

That's not a good look tbh

[pliant berry]

I just realized I've been using the same 650w psu for nearly 10 years

[grand kernel]

check the rail voltages

[nocturne flicker]

Now that you have realized its age it will die

[grand kernel]

if it works it works

[pliant berry]

if it works it indeed works

[pliant berry]

nooo don't jinx it

[olive plaza]

The 850w model has native PCIe5 cabling, is 80 Plus Gold, and I've personally used it on dozens of systems up to 5070ti with zero failures

It's 60 dollars

[grand kernel]

there's psus 3x that age that are still chugging along

[pliant berry]

yeah pretty sure some of the psus in my systems have to be closer to 20-30 years old lmao

[grand kernel]

we talking rosewill or raidmax

[olive plaza]

Raidmax

Cobrapower 850

[velvet summit]

i tried to look for it on tier lists and this specific line wasnt tested from what i see

[grand kernel]

well let's hope they've upped their game

[olive plaza]

The 850 is the only fully modular one

[grand kernel]

cause they uhh

certainly have a reputation

[olive plaza]

I would use Raidmax before I would use Thermaltake Smart

And DEFINITELY before Diablotek

[grand kernel]

that's probably the lowest bar you can set tbh

but fair enough

raidmax is the bar on the ground and those two are buried 6 feet under lol

[velvet summit]

raidmax does have a couple c ranked recently ish released psus (not this one though) but a fair bit is e and f ranked

[olive plaza]

Lumping all of the PSUs from one manufacturer under one umbrella is the reason i was able to pick up dozens of Gigabyte power supplies that were not affected by the explosions, and MSI Coreliquid V2 AIO coolers, for less than half of retail

[grand kernel]

funny thing is

same brand can be different manufacturers

[olive plaza]

Fully aware

[grand kernel]

there was an evga branded bomb too

[olive plaza]

Also, some Thermaltake and MSI power supplies come out of the same factory with different labels

[grand kernel]

I just haven't heard of any actually good psu from raidmax yet

if they're taking steps in the right direction good for them

[velvet summit]

though when one brand's (tested) half of their products are ranked e tier or lower, that kinda says something

[grand kernel]

it'll take a while before they shake their reputation as an improvised explosives manufacturer

[olive plaza]

I found that spam you just posted was unclaimed for 14 months

How bout dat

[grand kernel]

I found that their user id was unclaimed in the ban list for 14 months

[olive plaza]

Now that's a certified classic

[velvet summit]

on a different note, it looks like there's another new (at least from what i've seen) scam (well, not exactly new but how they're doing it is a bit different) is that they're sending a screenshot of an "email" they got from "discord support" telling them to tell you to add a "discord staff" as a friend to dispute a claim of you doing "illegal activities"

[royal crow]

I've seen similar things

[olive plaza]

That's not new at all

[velvet summit]

yeah it's not new, just the way they're doing it particularly is different from what i've seen

[grand kernel]

surely discord staff would reach out to you through some random user you don't know instead of... well, directly

[velvet summit]

fr

[royal crow]

Oh yes

Without the "discord staff" badge or anything

[grand kernel]

had an acquaintance get hacked in 2022 and dm me some weird stuff

[olive plaza]

Surely if you were doing something illegal the best course of action they can take is sending you screenshots that definitely don't have Javascript coding embedded

[velvet summit]

this was what someone got sent lmfao

[grand kernel]

when she got her account back I told her to enable 2FA

like 2 weeks ago she got hacked again

[velvet summit]

[grand kernel]

got it back and was like ok I guess I'm enabling 2FA

[olive plaza]

You can't fix stupid

[grand kernel]

lol

[velvet summit]

i wonder if they even changed their password

[grand kernel]

this is some crazy writing

[royal crow]

I have 2FA, multiple passkeys, and a recovery email

[olive plaza]

Someone I know got her steam account compromised, I asked if she wanted help setting up 2FA

[grand kernel]

like it kinda hurts to read

[olive plaza]

She was like nah I'll just be careful next time

She was, in fact, not careful next time

[velvet summit]

lmao

[grand kernel]

I feel like getting your account compromised in the first place should be a wakeup call that you are not as careful as you think you are

I've never once had any account compromised

I'm not exactly a cybersecurity expert

[velvet summit]

i think detection of phishing should be part of general education because way too many people fall for even the simple tricks

[royal crow]

I'm just paranoid

[olive plaza]

Someone got ahold of my debit card in like 2015, that's when I set up text alerts. It happened again the following year and I got notified while at work that I had bought drinks at a minibar in a hotel 5 states away

[grand kernel]

all my passwords look like "6Aty$_8gsj72!#ie&", I don't reuse passwords, and I use 2FA whenever possible

that's all it takes

[velvet summit]

i've only had one account compromised as a kid but that was because i was dumb, but i've not had any afterwards

[olive plaza]

I called the bank and said, I wish I was at a hotel drinking from a minibar

[grand kernel]

💀

[olive plaza]

Alas I'm at work right now

So it's not me

[grand kernel]

I just got home I can't wait to find out what resolution my 9070xt thinks my monitor is

[olive plaza]

https://tenor.com/view/it's-over-9000-it's-over-9000-its-gif-6159356195145880706

[grand kernel]

lovely

[velvet summit]

only my newest accounts and important accounts have a good password, but most of my older pre-password manager times passwords are just a single reused password (But still typically with mfa enabled when possible) and i've not yet had any accounts compromised yet somehow with that password that i've not changed for the past 10 years and reused on hundreds of services

[grand kernel]

wait

[olive plaza]

THERE IT IS

I told you

And I'm glad it's that

[velvet summit]

still safe

[bitter ridge]

Crazy stuff thought frame work would be better than this

[grand kernel]

well

it tells me this if i try to change the timing total

lol

[velvet summit]

framework has never been cheap

[nocturne flicker]

My Steam account once got hacked 10 years ago

[pliant berry]

mix the fact that framework is already at an upcharge, nvidia is making manufacturers find their own ram, and ram being unobtainable and this is what you get

[nocturne flicker]

Some Indian dude took over my account for about 5 hours before I noticed and contacted Steam Support

Luckily that was when I had no cards linked with my account so nothing bad happened

[pliant berry]

I've probably had a dozen attempts to get into some of my accounts. never had anything with permanent damage, I usually catch it first

[wary fjord]

Is that a challenge
