Finally, a good deal in this channel

#

cast iron better tho

small otter
#

How?

#

Higher specific heat?

wide trout
#

it makes eggs better

#

if you treat em right, they last forever

#

you can be rough with em too, you dont have to worry about scratching the surface

#

the iron in the pan slowly works its way into the food as well

#

the food also doesnt stick to the pan as much

small otter
#

I think cast iron's best use case is for searing meat.

#

Never heard someone say they prefer them for eggs lol

wide trout
small otter
#

True that they're durable, but if iron is leeching into your food - that means you neeed to re-season your pan lol.

#

I have a few of those lodge pans lol, they're great.

wide trout
#

literally anything cooks better in these lmao

#

yeah, thats why you gotta take care of em

small otter
#

I mean, just saying there's a reason why multi-layer stainless steel is the standard in any professional kitchen.

wide trout
#

yeah, the NSF

#

Cast iron's has a higher specific heat vs copper/stainless/aluminum, but very poor conductivity.

Hi, so I was browsing a little bit to start buying components for my very first gaming pc and I found this ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER OC Graphics Card for 229.99... is it a good deal?

grim talon
#

Seems like the usual price

final scarab
#

Good price to performace card

lean pecan
#

1650 SUPER runs $70ish cheaper and has about a 20% drop in performance. Its all relative to what you want/need and what your budget is. If you add $70-100 to the 1660 SUPER price tag you can get a 2060 and get a 20%ish boost to the 1660 SUPER's performance.

I go back and forth on the 1650 SUPER and the 1660 SUPER as the best bang for the buck from NVIDIA.

Depending on the Build/Budget that $70 could go into a better MB, a SSD and better RAM, etc and the GPU can be upgraded at a later time if you feel the need.

The ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER OC Graphics Card for 229.99 (with rebate & anything else that might apply) is as good a price I have seen for a 1660 SUPER in recent memory. (if you sign up for newegg's e-mail promotions you can sometimes even save a little extra wink wink).

Hey I am looking to buy a new gaming laptop. Any help or suggestions are highly appreciated.
My budget is $1500 usd
No refurbs/used
Not bigger than 15’. Though smaller is fine.
Decent battery life (at least 5 hours)
Not more than 2.5kgs/ 5.5 lbs
Should be able to handle games like fortnite, gta V and cod. 120fps refresh rate

#

@bronze geode My experience with Lenovo is very negative. Their stuff is pretty good but they have literally worst in class service... Like it took them five months of repairs and hours and hours on the phone (including about 15 dropped calls) to get my last service done

#

So if you don't care about warranty, it's a decent laptop if you get a deal

lone depot
#

There's some good msi/Razer laptops for that price

#

Or you could head to cyberpowerpc and make a custom laptop

#

That's what my dad did

@thorny palm general note: SLI isn't worth it anymore

it's an SSHD (basically, it's an SSD and a hard drive combined) @lusty harness

nobody really buys those for some reason. while demand is low for them, the price is also low

that could be why it's so cheap atm

or it could be a scam lol

I know what SSHDs are

#

just dont get a garbage shipping company like DHL and it wont take that long

empty trellis
#

@finite fjord DHL is the one company I haven't had any issues with during this pandemic, UPS, FedEx, USPS all have been horrible. Ordered from Mayhems 2x and Cablemod and the only options for each to the US was DHL and both arrived faster than the shipping I paid for, where as the other 3 have been super late. My psu sat in the Denver distribution hub for 5 days after arriving in town before it finally went out for delivery. So fun when 2 day shipping turns into 8 days or worse. I had a package come from Optimus in Chicago and instead of coming right to Denver it went to Tx, was there for a few days then finally to Denver then sat for a few more days before finally arriving.

finite fjord
#

I had lots of issues on one single order, it was... interesting. Starting Chinese New Year ordered smth and DHL forgot it so had to be sent back to company after a week or so . Then waited until CNY finished hoping for progress but Human Malware started. After a bit company was finally able to send product back to DHL who decided to go radio silent and not do anything with the product for quite some weeks. Tracking code was at least put into system, albeit 1.5 - 2 weeks late or smth. Didnt say anything to company so they thought it was delivered after 2 - 3 weeks or so when it wasnt, hadnt even left the country yet at that time

What promo code?

@echo comet (Assuming you mean the 10% off) It's been activated and deactivated several times over the past few days, I spoke to somebody about it and apparently they ran out of funds for the promotion, but right after I spoke with them the code started working again

#

The code isn't working right now but I'm sure it'll be back up again soon, because the last day for the promotion is the 30th

funds for the promo?

i thought that was based on the 200$ max limit per account?

gonna have to settle for just a mech drive i guess

Ya same

#

If you just have to have a 2080ti and have very little budget room. That's the one to get

wide trout
#

the ventus for 100 dollars less doesnt count, because cooling is bad apparently

pallid saddle
#

does the evga one get good temps?

mild jetty
#

better than the ventus lul

wide trout
#

lol wdym barebone

#

its

#

a 2080ti

#

if you arent overclocking, which most people dont, it performs the same as all the other 2080tis

lean pecan
#

^ not exactly true, but I mostly agree

#

look for a difference in core clock and the automatic boost and there will be a bit of a difference out of the box. A better cooling solution (bigger hunk of metal or more and/or better fans) will also keep the temps lower allowing for higher clocks for longer before you hit the temperature max and the card slows itself down automatically.

hollow prawn
#

Boost clocks have minimal difference

#

Also, temps don't matter <95c

wide trout
#

older, but you get the point

hollow prawn
#

Unless you OC, temps don't matter <95c

wide trout
#

they perform literally within margin of error

hollow prawn
#

Yea

#

100mhz boost clock difference sounds like a lot but it isn't

#

That kinda stuff

lean pecan
#

at the high end its 200 to 300mhz which is 13-20% difference. If you don't care about a 20% difference for $300...why are you getting the TI over the super anyway? 🙂

#

For the record: I have the EVGA 2080 Super and its as basic as can be.

hollow prawn
#

Sometimes, you just need the raw performance of a 2080ti

#

And at 950$, it ain't bad

#

We're also taking real world performance, not like 20% core clock increase

lean pecan
#

That video is from September 2018 right around the launch of the 2080ti before there designers knew the new limits they could push graphics

wide trout
#

drivers are universal

hollow prawn
#

Ofc crazy cards like kingpin blows EVGA black out of the water

#

Eh vbios varies but most don't mess with them

wide trout
#

once a gpu is designed, they dont just change it

#

they do if necessary, but they wont

hollow prawn
#

Just higher allowed power limit on some vbios but that's overclocking

wide trout
#

people will buy them anyway

#

we assume that everyone who comes here for help will not be overclocking, unless we ask them

#

and because, for someone who isnt tech savvy, who doesnt care about 5 fps, doesnt wanna spend an extra 300 dollars on a "better" 2080ti

#

because for them its exactly the same

tawny quest
#

oh 300 for 5 fps?

I would do that anyday

@tawny quest it's the Intel doctrine

I wanted to know if “shipping” meant delivered to my house. Because I recently ordered an item and I picked 2 day shipping. And I was wondering if it’s going to arrive at my house in 2 days. Or if it’s going to ship to some post office that will later the next day, give me my package

#

Ah yes the 1300x for 20$ works

#

Lol deals 101

pallid saddle
#

#

:oo

median grail
#

@potent orbit 99% chance it’ll be at your door in two days. I don’t know of any company who would advertise 2 day shipping with the caveat that it arrives at your post office in 2 days and then you wait for it to get to you, especially if you paid extra for that. Consumers don’t want that. They want it at their door ASAP

potent orbit
#

@median grail yeah I bought it yesterday. I ordered it with rushed processing and fast 2 day shipping. But it’s arriving on Thursday. I paid around 14 dollars for shipping and the processing

median grail
#

Wait till it comes and get a time stamp then file a claim, you might get the shipping cost refunded. Sometimes I’ve seen it where it says it a day out or so but I got it sooner.

hollow prawn

For gaming, just no

azure jewel

why ?

@hollow prawn

hollow prawn
#

SLI support across games is few in number

#

Hell some games even run worse on SLI than single GPU

#

Fallout 4 I've heard had that problem

#

Even if there is sli support

#

The gains are small

#

30% gain from single card

#

Might as well get a better single card, for better compatibility, less power draw, less finnicky software.

azure jewel
#

you'r right

hollow prawn
#

That's not even including how most mobos don't support SLI

Anyone had good experiences with XFX power supplies? I’ve had my 600w one for 4 years, no issues so far

grim talon
#

Totally depends on model, not brand

finite fjord
#

To give a good example of this...

Anyone had good experiences with Samsung phones? I’ve had my Note 4 for years now, no issues so far

Samsung great, get any phone you want
okay, let me get the Note 7
....
Note 7 explodes into flames

Basically, you cant judge by brand. Also one off experiences dont work too well either.

Man, my [insert some actual high end PSU here] exploded on me. This PSU is trash. Never buying from them again

You do know that PSU is actually one of the best in the world and you're just really unlucky right?
But mine exploded, therefore bad
and I havent died yet, so therefore death is not possible
...
...
...
See why judging from one off experiences is bad?
yes...

Lmao

#

My PSU has been working almost perfectly for 5 years

#

It's a Lenovo specific PSU designed to crap out after that period of time though 🙃

So eh

xD

wide trout
#

this is epic

final scarab
#

Why?

wide trout
#

120, really good condition, compact

#

if your trying to do a super cheap build, this and a cheap psu that doesnt have pcie connectors and boom

tawny quest
#

looks strange

wide trout
#

your in business

#

yeah, it came out of a prebuild

final scarab
#

Not very purty but i guess its decent performance for price

#

At least its actually a tech deal ROFLEgg

wide trout
#

lmao

finite fjord
#

or, spend $95 on a 570 and an extra $25 on a PSU with PCIe connections

final scarab
#

Doesn't a 1650 slightly outperform a 570 tho

tawny quest
#

could probably find a 580 for 90 somewhere

finite fjord
#

1650S is better, 1650 non S sucks

#

perf wise

#

and usually price wise as well

austere thunder
#

Should be like 150 USD new

#

While 1650S should be 160 new

#

800 something shader cores vs 1280, among other differences

finite fjord
#

ye, but 570 is better then non S usually and is like 110 - 120 new

austere thunder
#

Is tru

finite fjord
#

or was 110 - 120, idk corna prices

wide trout
#

but requires 6 pin

austere thunder
#

I haven't looked at 5xx prices in a while but def better deal

#

That's true as well

finite fjord
#

but again, spend the extra $25 on the PSU that was saved from GPU

wide trout
#

so, pretty cool, but somewhat specific application

#

getting a new psu isnt always an option

austere thunder
#

SFF

finite fjord
#

eh, I guess

#

but I mean, if your PSU is so low quality then it doesnt even have a 6 pin, should you be using it?

austere thunder
#

Nope

#

Absolutely not

#

But game is game

#

And poor gamer gotta game

wide trout
#

not all cheap psus are bombs if you treat them right

This appears to be a downclocked version of the RTX 2060 Zotac AMP

#

you can expect temperatures and noise to be slightly better than that one, I think

#

There's also this...no idea if there's supposed to be stock for this elsewhere but it's $15 above MSRP for the most overbuilt and quiet 1650 Super cooler out there so GWossuKannaSip

It's a good deal if you want a gen 4 nvme

That's fair, but if you're gonna buy one, it's a deal

grim talon
#

@jade smelt nope. Those usually got for $60 or less

pallid saddle
#

only before covid tho

#

:((

grim talon
#

Still definitely not worth $80

pallid saddle
#

thats true

#

but that might be the cheapest b450 mobo

#

in stock

grim talon
#

Possibly

#

It’s a very very barebones mobo though

#

Cheap VRMs, small form factor, not many expansion slots, etc

pallid saddle
#

its a good mobo for those with an APU system

grim talon
#

Only 2 ram slots

#

Yes for an APU system

pallid saddle
#

i think i used the exact board for a 3200G build

grim talon
#

Or an entry level Ryzen 3/5 system

#

Yeah I used that board for my mom’s 2200g system

pallid saddle
#

the good times when that board went to like 55$ on sale

grim talon
#

Fr

#

The good times are over!

pallid saddle
#

at least RAM is cheaper now

#

3200 CL 16 16GB is under 60$

grim talon
#

Yeah RAM never took much of a hit

pallid saddle
#

i wonder if black friday will be much of a deal now

grim talon
#

It’s not looking good

fallow violet
#

Ideas any one know of a good psu that I can find and buy right now?

#

Maybe around 100$

grim talon
#

Corsair CX650 was $90ish last time I checked

#

Thank you

CX gang

#

You have a CXM right?

#

CXM PSUs have coil while issues

#

Not the non M versions

fallow violet
#

How about a fully modular psu?

#

I’m pulling the trigger on everything I need tonight but can’t find a good psu

grim talon
#

I’m afraid you won’t find that rn

fallow violet
#

I was looking at a CoolerMaster 650w gold fully modular psu but it’s 200$ when it’s normally 100

rich thicket
#

yeah i looked at dozens of PSUs before buying mine none were in stock :-:

grim talon
#

When I looked last night so many PSUs were crazy expensive or out of stock.

fallow violet
#

Yeah it’s not easy to find a good one right now

rich thicket
#

^

grim talon
#

Definitely

rich thicket
#

then i ended up spending 100$ on a bronze whiny psu

#

:(

grim talon
#

It’s actually rated 80+ silver but they label it as bronze, fun fact

rich thicket
#

still whine pisses me off the most

grim talon
#

And the CX(M) PSUs are actually good quality but the M models have those dang whine issues

fallow violet
#

So do you guys prefer anything else for a psu that’s fully modular?

grim talon
#

@fallow violet you’d have to raise budget for that I’m afraid

fallow violet
#

Okay how much do you think?

grim talon
#

No idea. Look on PCPP and filter for that and see what comes up

fallow violet
#

Okay will do

#

Thanks

grim talon
#

Stay away from brands like Raidmax, Diablotek, Apevia, etc tho

#

@ me if you need me ill be away

@fallow violet be guided by https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1116640-psu-tier-list-40/

the real tech deals tbh

river spindle
hollow wolf
#

for roblox?

#

@river spindle that's overkill

river spindle
#

so it will work? @hollow wolf

hollow wolf
#

I just said it's overkill

#

@river spindle

balmy root
#

it's expensive for what it is

#

@river spindle why not build your own PC? I can show you some cheap parts, especially used if you want to go really low budget

hollow wolf
#

yea, consider using VERY previous gen stuff, ddr3, if it's only roblox, older OS like windows 7,8, no dedicated gpu

#

what else do u want to do?

balmy root
#

nehalem xeons and motheroboards are cheap af, but the better investment is probably the r3 3200g

wide trout
#

sandy/ivy brigde xeons are cheap af too, but the motherboards are not

balmy root
#

yup

wide trout
#

well, if your not using a case, there are cheap 2011 mobos

balmy root
#

r3 3200g + b450 motherboard + 2x4gb ram will play roblox just fine, and has plenty of room to upgrade

wide trout
#

definetly

#

tbh, an A320 would work too

#

but, they arent that much cheaper

balmy root
#

16gb ram upgrade is EZ, cpu upgrade is EZ, GPU upgrade is Ez

#

a320 isn't getting zen 3 support 😦

wide trout
#

tru

#

but i just mean like rn

#

cuz if youre getting a cheap b450, is it really worth putting 4th gen ryzen on?

balmy root
#

if he can't get a b450 motherboard rn, then just play roblox on phone until he can

#

maybe ryzen 3 4100 will have 6 cores

wide trout
#

upgrading from a 3200g is kinda hard to justify tho

#

wait

balmy root
#

i would get a gpu first

wide trout
#

is it 2/4

balmy root
#

its 4/4

wide trout
#

i know the 3400g is 4/8

#

ok

#

i would say cheaping out on a motherboard for now would be a good idea, but it just depends on when they would ever consider upgrading in the future

balmy root
#

r7 would be great too

#

well, "cheap out" means tomahawk b450 or tuf b450 plus

wide trout
#

no lol

balmy root
#

not gigabyte d3h b450

wide trout
#

yes lol

#

that board exactly

balmy root
#

pls don't get that gigabyte board

wide trout
#

is good low end board

#

it just works, good for things under the 3600

#

if youre on a super tight budget, i usually suggest that or the asrock one

balmy root
#

asrock pro4 is better

wide trout
#

its still 100

balmy root
#

still, $20 more now is better than a new motherboard down the line

wide trout
#

depends on use case

#

some people use pcs for a decade

balmy root
#

my x3440 is still going in a secondary system

wide trout
#

i have friends running 660tis in their rigs right now

#

with a 2500k

lean pecan
#

what is wrong with the gigabyte d3h b450 other than the lack of fan headers?

balmy root
#

that cpu is 11 years old now

wide trout
#

upgradability?

#

nope

balmy root
#

poor vrm

wide trout
#

good enough vrm for low end cpus tho

balmy root
#

athlon 200ge ye

wide trout
#

getting a board that cheap assumes you also cant afford a very powerful cpu

#

i would put a 3100 on that board

#

and any ryzen APU

balmy root
#

i would still get a pro4 at least

wide trout
#

i have a friend running a 2600 on the asrock B450M HDV

balmy root
#

that way i can put a r7 3700x when those go cheap on ebay

wide trout
#

its been going for like a little over a year now

#

when he upgrades 4 years from now, any b450 board would be worthless

balmy root
#

i wouldn't keep a 3200g for 4 years

wide trout
#

many people do

balmy root
#

my granny probably would

#

considering she has a core2 system rn

river spindle
#

@balmy root I probably will build my own pc but I have a freind who is smart with computers who is out of town so im saying if that would be ok for my last resort

balmy root
#

look for optiplex on ebay

#

this isn't too bad

#

even cheaper

#

put a $30 SSD and you'll be playing roblox in no time

wide trout
#

boom

#

these are fantastic systems

yeah i think the 1650 is better

austere thunder

R5 clocks lower and 560X less shaders

tawny quest
#

microcenter, b&h, newegg usually have good prices. there is a site pinned in this channel for some sales, if you want used fb marketplace, r/hardwareswap, craigslist, ebay are good

rigid eagle
#

Amazon also has good deals sometimes, esp. if you can find like an amazon deal

#

I find older stuff on there to be way overpriced, but you can get great deals from places like amazon warehouse on current gen

I'm looking at a ROG Scar III, if I can sell my current laptop

so? 17 inch is too big

at that point get a 13 inch and a portable keyboard @pulsar heart

there's no point getting a laptop, if not to keep it mobile

na my key bord broken from coffe

and more mobility is better

pulsar heart

i order a new one

#

i had a 15 inch but it was too small for me

#

i live on my laptop for every day work

hollow wolf
#

but the razer blade has much better specs for price

pulsar heart
#

i think that raz a bad deal

#

and bad cooling

hollow wolf
#

like- 8th gen i7/1060, for 1200$?

#

and, what's the refresh rate on that monitor

#

can u send the link?

#

@pulsar heart

pulsar heart
#

my asus 705ge run games varry cool even when play 5 hr

hollow wolf
#

ok... that's not the point

pulsar heart
#

i go for reliability

hollow wolf
#

what is the refresh rate?

#

razer is super reliable

pulsar heart
#

60hz

hollow wolf
#

bruh

#

u game on that?

#

that is such a bad laptop for the price

#

sorry

pulsar heart
#

eye cant see more then 60 hz so no point geting hight refresh that just wasteng money

hollow wolf
#

bruh...

#

that's false

pulsar heart
#

nope it fact

hollow wolf
#

human eye can see up to 2000 fps

pulsar heart
#

no it cant

hollow wolf
#

google it lmao

#

or just google why higher refresh is better

#

here

#

how abt this

#

@fierce wagon help explain plz

#

why is higher refresh better

#

and also, is this bad for the price?

#

compared to this:

#

@pulsar heart im sorry, but it's a bad laptop for its price.

fierce wagon
#

What am I doing?

hollow wolf
#

explaining why high refresh rates are better for gaming

fierce wagon
#

Ah, yes

#

You get more information pretty much

rigid eagle
#

Humans can notice more that 60hz lol

pulsar heart
#

it 17 inch that why it 1200

#

hear 15 inch version

hollow wolf
#

bruh

#

that's renewed

rigid eagle
#

Like you can make an argument against a 300Hz monitor, buy 144 vs 60 is amazing

hollow wolf
#

and doesn't have NEARLY similar specs @pulsar heart

fierce wagon
#

Most people can technically only "see" ~30hz, but the human eye is able to notice information that comes in faster than that

hollow wolf
#

^

rigid eagle
#

Razer has all the specs, but they aren't exactly known for good prices and cooling'

hollow wolf
#

cooling is actually gr8

fierce wagon
#

The extra frames provide you with more information about surroundings, positions and such like. Really helps in fps games

hollow wolf
#

I had the pleasure of owning one, night

fierce wagon
#

If you're an anno/civ guy, you don't really need it though

hollow wolf
#

^

#

but still

fierce wagon
#

It does look smoother 🙂

hollow wolf
#

1200$ for a 1060, 8th gen i7, and 1080p60, 17 inch laptop?

#

not worth it

pulsar heart
#

wrong one

fierce wagon
#

Which reminds me, I need to get civ6 downloaded...

rigid eagle
#

Fair, but I've seen quite a few people on reddit who needed to undervolt a good bit to get decent thermals

hollow wolf
#

@pulsar heart what are you trying to prove

fierce wagon
#

Hey, speaking of anno, look at that screenshot 🙂

hollow wolf
#

it's got different specs and is cheaper

fierce wagon
#

At least I think it's anno. idk actuallt

rigid eagle
#

But that is less of an issue when you don't have a 2080S and an i9

fierce wagon
#

That last system kinda sucks

fierce wagon
#

Much better

hollow wolf
#

this one is actually rlly gr8 for the price, and brand value too

pulsar heart
#

the cooling on razor afull tho

hollow wolf
#

brand value is good bc u can sell it l8r

#

i

fierce wagon
#

Is it?

hollow wolf
#

razer cooling is fine

pulsar heart
#

that why i love my 705

hollow wolf
#

idk what ppl are talking abt

fierce wagon
#

From my experience, predator is the one with the crap cooling

hollow wolf
#

razer cooling = not the best in the world, not the worst, all laptop cooling sux compared to desktop

#

^

#

so

rigid eagle
#

From what I have looked into it, razer does somewhat bad on higher models. I think an i7 and 1660ti wouldn't be bad

pulsar heart
#

im just going bye what i know and my 705 run varry cold even with gta v

finite fjord
#

Razer has high failure rates on laptops

hollow wolf
#

I actually owned this model though, ran tests, and cooling is fine unless you start doing stuff that is WAY too powerful for the specs

pulsar heart
#

kinda suprize i only get like 50c on high side

hollow wolf
#

what graphics settings @pulsar heart

pulsar heart
#

ultra

hollow wolf
#

what fps do u get

pulsar heart
#

60

hollow wolf
#

cool

#

i don't think u would only get 50c tho...

#

triple a titles run hard on 10- series cards, especially on ultra

#

and with laptop cooling?

#

dunno

pulsar heart
#

i know

#

i was suprize how well it handle it

fierce wagon
#

I'm kinda doubting that. That's what I would expect from a full water cooled, flagship system
