Yes

Don’t even think about it Meep

The 80+ and 80+ bronze ones are better quality than the non rated, but still pretty bad

[wide trout]

imo, 80+ bronze minimum for any psu

any decently made PSU shouldn't struggle to meet that standard

if it can't even achieve a basic 80+ bronze, it's not worth buying lmao

[grim talon]

Cooler master MWE tho

[hollow prawn]

if your 500w psu draws 1000w from the wall that's an issue

[warm bane]

On subreddit they delete theses posts because they call them illegal. Those people selling does keys are so brazen they advertise on public channels. I’m starting to wonder if a Microsoft actually is ok with it

[tawny quest]

well they don't actually lose much money from it is what it seems

[balmy root]

I remember somes devs talking about how they would rather people pirate their software than use a competitors (Adobe)

That way when those people go to enterprise and buy corporate licenses, they'll choose the platform they already know and like

As for me, I hate Adobe, so GIMP, Resolve and Reaper for me

Also, additional $10 off for total $52.99 with promo: BACK238

Absolute insanity

I didn’t get promo in my email so they won’t give it to me. It comes out to 69$ for me. Which I bought my SP 500gb for that 2 months ago

Yeah but

You should buy it just because it landed on that price

Lol. Why. It’s finally matching what the competition is selling for with the same speeds

[carmine hatch]

Hello. Newegg has Microsoft Office 2019 Student Edition bundled with Norton 360 for 15 months for $80. It comes as a software download rather than physical CD. I would like to purchase it for my father, but I'm not certain how that would work if I purchase it. Since the purchase would be in my name, would it cause a problem for him to download the software and put it in his name? How does one gift software that needs to be downloaded? I chatted with Newegg customer support and I was led here.

[tacit pivot]

@carmine hatch dont buy that

buy it off a 3rd party site for like $15. when installing windows it will prompt u for a product key and thats all u need to do

[wide trout]

hes talking about office

not windows

[tacit pivot]

oh lol my b

[wide trout]

also dont get norton

[tacit pivot]

i was just looking at student windows stuff

yeah norton is annoying af. why are you looking to get student? if your dad is in school, i know a lot of schools give office for free

[carmine hatch]

I wanted him to use LibreOffice, but he likes Office.

When I got an error on the opening screen with a Java error, Iloaded a new version of Java, but the error perists, do you have a fix? It says a Javascript error occurred in the Main Process Uncaught exception error: Cannot find Module c:\Users\randy\appdata/\ocal\Discord\app-0.0307\resources\buildinfo.js

[carmine hatch]

Yeah, I don't want him installing Norton.

He is not a student. I want to be sure he gets a legitimate product code.

Does anyone know the process with software purchase on Newegg?

[glass light]

@fossil umbra When it comes to "good" headsets, I tend to lean towards Plantronics. They can be pricey, but they tend to last and have good sound quality.

that’s a pretty good deal right

Ehhhhhhhhh yes and no

I mean the 580 is like 80 to 100 dollars used.

The 90 used for 150 is like 20 dollars more than what I’d pay.

hey guys can you tell me if these look like scammers

[naive stirrup]

Yes

They do

[wide trout]

that screams scammer

they are literally telling you they are scammers

[leaden hornet]

I think he wants to send you an invoice

[wide trout]

i think he wants to take the transaction off of ebay to scam you of your money

[leaden hornet]

Either or

He can't really scam with the invoice you have payment protection through paypal

[wide trout]

who said anything about an invoice lol

[leaden hornet]

If send as business.. if its friendly then dont do it

[wide trout]

it doesnt take a genius to see a scam

it takes common sense

just read the message

[leaden hornet]

I understand it can be a red flag. What if he is just trying to avoid ebay fees?

Like i said its up to the buyer to recognize if hes trying to scam. You stand a chance with an invoice (business) your payment is held by PayPal until you recieve the product.. unlike if you send payment as a friend or family your not protected

[wide trout]

not a flag, its a scam

ive been doing this for years

trust me on this one

it doesnt even have to do with his bad english, although its a good indication

[tawny quest]

paypal has fees too

[fierce wagon]

[ashen charm]

well. i would like to stay under 500 i think

(for the video card)

[hollow prawn]

I mean overall

[ashen charm]

But that's like extra money for something you don't use

No the features that come with pro

[fierce wagon]

Oh

It's like 20 bucks

but fr no trolling, should i get a ryzen 7 3700x with a 3070 when it comes out

@umbral brook I don't think t there will be any that let them both sound signals at exactly the same time, but basically any hub will be able to get both signals through more or less instantly

[umbral brook]

since i'm using it as a hotus for things like flight sim and Elite that was the man thing i was worried about. i knew i wouldn't be able to use a usb 3.1 port though

[frozen kestrel]

[arctic grail]

Is that a good ssd?

I’am currently building a pc and all I need now is an ssd

I dont know what to get since I dont have much money to get a good ssd too

I need a 1tb too since Im planning to use it for editing and stuff

[grim talon]

Uh, is what a good SSD

Oh the one posted

[arctic grail]

What do you think?

Any recommendations?

I dont know much tbh

Its my first build

[grim talon]

Yeah, it’s pretty good

Looks like it’s very close in performance to the Adata SX8100. It’s got a Realtek controller which I’ve heard isn’t great, but for a normal consumer, it’ll work great @arctic grail

[robust wasp]

@arctic grail I have a western digital blue sn550 NVMe m.2
500 gigs
It’s pretty cheap so it’s really good for the beginning of your build where you can put on 1-2 tb later on

[grim talon]

SN550 doesnt have DRAM, so, that's a fat no

[arctic grail]

I have a 500gb sata sd card from a hand me down pc

I wanted to really get a good one

I would say a whole upgrade from this old build is what I want

Im using my build for gaming and editing

So I need a lot of storage

And a fast one

[naive crane]

My friend is selling this pc for $1300. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Stryker19/saved/#view=tRdmrH it has 32gb ram and a Corsair case but he didn’t include specifics so I didn’t add them to the list

[rigid eagle]

Sound iffy, might be considered selling:
▶️ 9. No sweepstakes/giveaways, e-begging, trading or selling on this server.

[hollow prawn]

@naive crane I'm hoping you're just asking for advice on the pricing, but pcpp way overprices what it's worth, like 300$ for the Mobo, 300$ for the ssd, 200$ for a PSU, 150$ for win10, 150$ for ducky one

[grim talon]

@arctic grail it will be fine. the XPG one, that is.

[arctic grail]

Ok thanks!! @grim talon

[naive crane]

@hollow prawn are you saying that the pcpp prices for those parts are overpriced? I thought that it always finds the cheapest ones. Those were the lowest prices I could find

[hollow prawn]

@naive crane do keep in mind the Varus is still a thing, prices can go crazy today, and pcpp doesn't have everything or check everything, it just gives you the cheapest from the listed retailers from the product. They are also not that accurate, quite a few times where it says in stock when it's not, and says out of stock when it is.

For example, for a while the MSI G241 showed at like 240$ on pcpp even though they were sold at 189.99$ at Newegg, it just didn't update correctly or something.

[naive crane]

Ahhhh gotcha

But it’s still viable for relative pricing right

[hollow prawn]

And of course values for parts also depend on the trend of similar parts, for example you can get a sense of 2080 super selling for around 700$, but there might be some crazy fancy rgb Asus 2080 super selling for 1100$, doesn't mean that 2080 super is worth 1100$.

[naive crane]

Very true

[hollow prawn]

A few factors go into it, but for example, decent x570 board is 150-200$, not 300$

[naive crane]

Ya

[hollow prawn]

860evo 2tb sells for like 300$ even though faster NVMe 2tb SSDs sell for 240$ or so, not even SATA

[naive crane]

Those are the specs of his pc obviously I didn’t choose the parts I was just using this pcpp list to get an idea for the value of it and how good of a deal it was

[hollow prawn]

Components wise, 3900x+2070 super plus the lots of storage and ram and periph you should be able to comfortably price it at around 1800$ used I'd say

Maybe 2000$

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[naive crane]

He’s selling it for 1300

[hollow prawn]

If you trust him with all the components being intact and functional it should be good

It's just budget allocation wise it's not a great build for gaming

[naive crane]

Ya i go over to his house and use it it’s in good condition

He’s had it for about 6 months

[worn rose]

id just run a few stress tests to be sure

[naive crane]

Wym it’s not a great build for gaming? 3900x + 2070 super should be good right?

[hollow prawn]

It's not the best bang for your buck for gaming

[naive crane]

Oh ok

*ik

[hollow prawn]

Having 12 cores doesn't help much if any over having 6 cores in gaming

That kinda stuff

That's what I mean by budget allocation wise

[naive crane]

It’s not what I would buy for a pure gaming build for that price but it should still perform well correct?

[worn rose]

yes

[naive crane]

Ok

Plus with virtual school starting next week I figured 32gb ram and more cores would allow for me to multitask my programming classes engineering programs and zoom running at the same time

[lone depot]

Plus with virtual school starting next week I figured 32gb ram and more cores would allow for me to multitask my programming classes engineering programs and zoom running at the same time
@naive crane this will be able to run pretty much any game ultra, and even so if you have 12 cores you can literally change the affinity for games

[hollow prawn]

... he says while having trouble with affinity in #general-chat

[lone depot]

... he says while having trouble with affinity in #general-chat
@hollow prawn Yes, running an older game. because it disables affinity access. Nice strawman though.

[grim talon]

Weekly PSU price drops
@last egret

[naive crane]

@lone depot good to know, thanks !

[hollow prawn]

Indeed, good strawman, will use again.

EAC isn't old either, Rust runs it, Apex runs it, div 2 runs it, WT runs it.

Just having EAC not work with it doesn't make it bad, you should just let it be known :p

Anyways doesn't feel right to me to reccomend something you're having trouble with

[fierce wagon]

I don't see how that's a strawman

[hollow prawn]

@fierce wagon I didn't meant it as a strawman, but it's a strawman if I was just trying to refute, I was just bring up a point that could've been missed.

doesnt look as good tho

[grim talon]

Mr1 why do you hate Teamgroup ram

[hollow prawn]

bad personal experience

[grim talon]

How many bad personal experiences

[hollow prawn]

2

[grim talon]

Mmm

2 is a little more than one

But I don’t think it’s enough to not ever recommend them

[hollow prawn]

it's just my opinion, but I like to express my opinion :D

[grim talon]

Cause I’ve used them a few times and haven’t had bad experiences ever

[hollow prawn]

I think it's fine to not recommend them

if they have it, they have it

it is what you pay for

[worn rose]

[grim talon]

But what if they’re the cheapest option

[hollow prawn]

it's the cheapest option then

[grim talon]

Like this one

[hollow prawn]

I wouldn't pick it

for a build :P

I'll find excuses around it

[grim talon]

Yeesh

[hollow prawn]

if someone wanted team ram, okay I'll leave it

but I'm not actively picking any

[tawny shoal]

Mr1 team ram would like to sponsor you and give you team ram for all your pc's

[frozen kestrel]

lol

[hollow prawn]

@tawny shoal get them on the line, dark pros only

[tawny shoal]

They would like to send you 2133mhz ram for all you ryzen systems

And 4000mhz ram for your Intel builds

[hollow prawn]

I'm fine with ddr4 2133 cl8 sticks of 8gb

prob pretty good binned b die

I'll just OC it back up to 3600c14

[tawny shoal]

Only 2 gigs

Of ram

Per system

In 4 sticks of 500 mbs

[hollow prawn]

2133cl8 is basically guarranteed 3600cl14 actually

this usually matches pretty well

[tawny shoal]

Iets make it ddr3 for fun

Def not downloading that pic lol

So I can memorize it

[hollow prawn]

lol

don't

just take a look from time to time for OCing or some crap with comparing different freq and latency

Do keep in mind it's first word latency without any IF bs and stuff

[tawny shoal]

I memorized 3 digits of pi once lol

Yeah

[hollow prawn]

so it's not completely accurate and doesn't apply too well to Ryzen

[tawny shoal]

Yup

[hollow prawn]

I memorized around 50 once xD

[wide trout]

also bandwidth

[hollow prawn]

ya

but this is effective latency

[wide trout]

so if you dont need all that bandwidth, running ram like that is not a terrible idea

[hollow prawn]

yes

[wide trout]

i dont think gaming uses as much as stuff like video editing

idk tho

man i need my own ddr4 system so i can tinker and test some of this kind of thing

i wanna run games at different memory speeds, would be fun

of course i would need an amd and intel system

[hollow prawn]

heh

Sassy it's time for dark pros

Ryzen benefits from IF but not I'm not sure about bandwidth

[wide trout]

yeah

thats why i need both systems to test

i can answer all of my own questions lol

for the most part

[hollow prawn]

yeye

would be an interesting video

or even just table

[fierce wagon]

If you want to memorize it, just memorize the formula

2000 * CAS / speed = latency in ns

[finite fjord]

for less numbers I do
CAS * 2 / Freq

instead of typing 2000 you type 2

[fierce wagon]

That gives latency in us

[finite fjord]

ah, ye

oh

maybe

price reserves are stupid, just list it for the price reserve

no one really wants to bid on commonplace items

[final scarab]

Ya, I hate price reserves

[wide trout]

literally, the only reason to list something for bidding is if it is the only kind of that item listed on all of ebay

if theres a 1080ti listed for 425, you list it for 410, you dont do any of this bidding crap

if theres a vintage windows 95 laptop, and there are no others on ebay, you do bidding with a price reserve

[finite fjord]

I find the bids when looking at them tend to sell higher then the min priced things

[wide trout]

they shouldnt

at that point you stop bidding and just buy someone elses 1080ti

how stupid can people be lmao

I think people get too competitive with bidding so they're willing to pay a lil more lol

Not saying its smart tho

no clue

is it gpu or cpu or ram>

may wanna find out

[vivid stone]

i have 16 gigs of ram

ddr3

[tawny shoal]

cause if its gpu or ram a new mobo and cpu wont help

[vivid stone]

so how would i tell what causing it then?

i mean i even put it on medium graphics and it was still lagging hard

i mean fps dropping hard

[tawny shoal]

does nvidia control panel let you see the usage of all components?

i can tell you i had task manager up and it was maxing out on the cpu

and how would i pull up the nvidia control panel?

@wide trout do you care about refurbished? I just bought the Sony wh-1000m3's for $179

They're awesome

I heard Sony has the best noise cancelling at the moment

They just released the wh-1000m4's so you might be able to get a pair of the m3's cheaper.

m4 has better microphone and you can pair two devices at the same time, but that's about it.

[finite fjord]

Apparently the NC is also ever so slightly better

[wide trout]

yeah, i was looking at the XM3s used, but decided my HD 4.50 has some life left in it

so im just holding out until i can get a deal on a new pair of XM4s

[finite fjord]

4.50 btnc to xm2 was a nice upgrade for me. So xm3 would be a nicer one

[wide trout]

which, by cyber monday should be a decent price

also, i usually have mine connected to my desktop and phone at the same time

so thats a big draw towards the XM4s

also i work in a datacenter where the servers go

🇧 🇷 🇷 🇷 🇷 🇷 🇷 🇷 🇷 🇷 🇷 🇷

so the better the NC is the better the music sounds lmao

[warm bane]

they have been selling for 200 on hardware swap.. These are in higher demand then most for ITX builds

[exotic swift]

There’s a 1080 mini for 300

[worn rose]

300 is way to much for a 1080 unless you need it for itx

[spiral jackal]

Bruh lol

[spiral jackal]

How many fans can one SYS_FAN header take?

[hollow prawn]

if you're daisy chaining them

check specs

usually headers are rated for 1a or so, and good fans can be around .2a a fan

[spiral jackal]

Specs for the fans?

[hollow prawn]

For example:
(I love Noctua if you couldn't tell)

[spiral jackal]

The fan rated current for one fan is.. 0.2a

That's what I should be looking at, right

[hollow prawn]

ye

so you can daisy chain up to like 5 if they're daisychainable

[spiral jackal]

Aight

Also JUST realized I'm in the wrong channel 😂

[hollow prawn]

I don't really care :P

I actually remember using this meme for an econ class last school year 😂 🤣

[grim talon]

@hollow prawn vulcan G has DRAM?

[hollow prawn]

gotta check

I looked at it, saw title say vulcan, saw the image look like vulcan, saw good price, linked it.

[grim talon]

yeah, it's the G. dont really know about it

considering price is that low it might not have DRAM

[hollow prawn]

hmm

@finite fjord do you know the difference between having a SLC cache and a dram cache?

or are they separate things

[finite fjord]

SLC cache as main thing - think 660p

I believe a lot of drives, DRAM included, use SLC cache. Dont 100% know about that tho

[fierce wagon]

660p has dram too

[finite fjord]

yeah, but really small

[fierce wagon]

That is true

[finite fjord]

thus edited for "as main thing"

[fierce wagon]

iirc, main difference is that DRAM cache has faster r/w speeds and doesn't suffer wear like SLC cache does

[finite fjord]

also will not suffer from storage filling up

[fierce wagon]

Yes

SLC cache size is included in storage size

It's also cheaper though, so you can have more of it

[hollow prawn]

Okay, so it's something that could compliment each other, so Vulcan G is dramless?

Does utilizing SLC cache degrade drive speeds?

[warm bane]

So. I set my Ram cache 2 at 30 gbs. I’ve no idea how to use it actually

[fierce wagon]

SLC only could be slower than dram

It depends how it handles cache misses though

[warm bane]

It does read/write at insane rates. 14000 mb/s

[fierce wagon]

An SLC cache theoretically doesn't need to copy data to and from the cache when there's a miss, so you might be able to get slightly faster speeds

To answer the specific question abot the Vulcan, it does has DRAM

[finite fjord]

I dont think so

Original Vulcan did

Vulcan G is smth else

[fierce wagon]

Ah

Okay
