SSHDs don't make much sense nowadays @fiery stream

5400rpm doesn't really matter yaknow

nova geyser
#

If you're worried about speed get an ssd

toxic ruin
#

Was aiming to get a 7200 and 4tb ssd for games is kinda pricey right now

#

I have a slower drives for documents and everything else, which that's basiclly for storage

nova geyser
#

Why tho?

toxic ruin
#

I download my games and never really delete them, also I have a few beefy games

#

30mb download kinda keeps me in the line so I dont have to delete them

nova geyser
#

All the speed of the drive affects is loading times anyway and x300 is a good hdd

quartz cairn
#

Model 0 or Model D? For minecraft gaming

#

also why is both the model o and model d overpriced in Newegg, going for 105$

when its supposed to be 50 $ I think

The tough book line is usually aimed at construction workers and the like. You can drop one model I saw 20 feet onto solid concrete.

There is a use for Toughbooks yeah but....limited scope and they're also renewed

livid nexus
#

lmao Yes

#

wonder why toughbooks like that even exist

hybrid garnet
#

It's cheaper to buy one expensive laptop that will take a beating than to replace a cheaper one 3 times

flat swift
#

I used to deal with Toughbooks but we needed way better specs than that

#

They'd run about 3-4K each

livid nexus

wtf wuuut

can you not get a really good case for a ipad or smt

and get wayyyyyy better specs

#

I find it difficult to compare a 5k series to a 3k series. Even if the chips are a different tier.

nova geyser
royal kite
#

Because logic usually dictates a generation as an improvement, though that's not always the case. But in the case of those chips, it's 5k hands-down.

That’s honestly not bad

If it runs what you want to run at a speed that you want, then I don’t see why you should upgrade

i know i can upgrade to 32gb of memory in the laptop

No need for 32GB on a laptop tbh

unborn phoenix

You don’t need 32gb

32GB is for rendering workloads, 16GB is plenty for gaming even on a desktop.

No way that 3200mhz is gonna run on a nitro 5

#

It'll just be a waste of money for that thing lol

#

I'm guessing it'll run at a maximum of 2666

Limited by both processor and chipset I'm guessing

Unless it's one of the like brand new nitro 5's it ain't gonna work very well

nowadays if you get like a decent motherboard by like asus

you just need rgb headers

nova geyser

I've heard complaints about armoury crate btw

vast geode
#

@nova geyser yeah ive seen it acting up

on some peoples computers

#

based on my experience though i have not noticed much

#

aura creator is also very nice

#

Hmm okay I've never used but just a warning about it lol

hybrid garnet
#

Just... when you're using 10% of your CPU doing nothing don't be surprised

vast geode
#

currently mining and also have like 15 tabs open for math studying

hybrid garnet
#

You must not have too many effects set up then

vast geode
#

fans and motherboard

hybrid garnet
#

Some of those effects can take 2% CPU per zone

vast geode
#

and psu

#

its taking 0% cpu

#

and what looks like about

#

10 mb of ram or so

#

in between aura creator and armory crate

#

ok more like 25mb

#

5600x

hybrid garnet
#

Ok
I'm talking about the effects like the audio sync where the lights change color and flash in time with the music/game noise/whatever

vast geode
#

oh

#

those probably

#

but that is to be expected

quartz cairn
#

so the distance between my room and the wifi is quite a bit, and we have a speed of 150mbps, what ethernet type should I use?

#

I would say 200ft

hybrid garnet
#

Honestly cat5e is plenty if you're under 1gb

#

But if you can get cat6 cheaper go for it

nova geyser
hybrid garnet
#

Technically speaking yes, the additional shielding helps reduce crosstalk at longer lengths

#

But at only 150 mb/s that won't matter

nova geyser
#

Fair enough

hybrid garnet
#

You can also run 100 meters of cat5e according to the spec

nova geyser
#

Ohh i thought it was like 50m mvm

Trying to find a Creality CR-10 MAX for work, was gonna go through Tiny Machines 3D so they could add all the accessories to it themselves, because I need it to run direct drive and high temp. If I bought the printer itself I would have to buy all the upgrades seperate and install myself and I just dont have tine for that at work. Are there any other companies that customize 3D printers?

lone depot
#

where do i find tech support here?

nova geyser
lone depot
#

Thank you

weary gate
#

There are a ton of specialty printers, but depending on your budget they might be a bit to much, the next thing I'd reccomend is looking at some of the qiditech printers, they're all enclosed to help with chamber heating and stop warping and some of them come with direct drive all metal high temp hot swappable extruders and with great quality at a pretty good price, the only thing is they're not open source so if they do happen to break parts might have a bit of a markup.

#

But buying something that already does what you need is going to be much better and easier then modding would be, even if you're not the one doing the mods.

magic tree
#

What happened to my tech dealspeeposad

fiery stream
#

Ok yeah none of their printers are the size I need

weary gate
#

What size are you shooting for, ideally?

fiery stream
#

Just about 400 or so in x and y and 350 in the Z

icy finch
#

Wait that’s still like 12 feet for cm

#

400mm?

fiery stream
#

Mm

tawny shoal

mm is the standard for sizing print beds

tawny shoal

how does 400cm even convert to 33 feet lol

#

Well

#

Actually

#

It’s 4 meters or 13 feet lol

tawny shoal

#

i love metric

#

fiery stream
#

American units superior except for science (which I unfortunately have to do a lot of)

wide trout
#

why would imperial units ever be better

#

they literally make no sense

#

why 12 feet in an inch when i could just move the freaking decimal

fiery stream
#

Based around real life and people, just like farenheit

wide trout
#

Fahrenheit is fine

#

its everything else that doesnt make any sense

fiery stream
#

A foot is about as long as your foot

#

Tada

wide trout
#

uhh not at all

#

i would rather just use meters instead of inches, feet, and miles

fiery stream
#

Well we each prefer what we grew up with

fierce wagon
#

A foot long foot is one heck of a foot

#

I personally kinda like Celsius. 20 is a nice temp, and then 15 is coolish, 25 is warmish, 10 is cold, 30 is hot, 0 is freezing, 40 is burning

#

I guess not technically burning, but uncomfortably hot for sure

dry nest
#

No I’ve grown up with imperial and Fahrenheit and both are no.

#

Fahrenheit not as bad but

#

12 vs 10 like

fierce wagon
#

What I really like about metric is the volumetric measurements

#

How many people can tell you right off the bat how many teaspoons are in a half tablespoon?

acoustic lagoon
#

My mom and that is all

fierce wagon
#

Half of 15ml though is very easy

#

btw, 1 tablespoon is 15ml

#

I cook a lot

acoustic lagoon
#

Cooking fun

#

I don't measure spices or ingredients for cooking, just eye ball

#

Baking is a different story for me

#

Everything has to be exact or I'll go nuts

fierce wagon
#

Yup, for good reasons too

#

I have this great little measuring cup set. Smallest is graduated every 2.5ml, and the big on is 25ml or so, I forget

acoustic lagoon
#

Reminded me to buy measuring cups too lol

#

Mine got stolen by my former roommate

What does apple have to do with that

#

Also since when did apple offer black cables lmao

crystal moth
# nova geyser It's just an oem thing they can charge whatever they want cus they can lol

idk, Apple is at the forefront of slightly screwing people over with each passing generation like getting rid of the aux port and not providing charging cables and wired earphones with new phones. their bottom line is more important to them than the increased cost to customers and the increased amount of packaging to ship those extra accessories. pretty soon they won't add a port for charging your phone and you'll have to use the more inefficient wireless charging dock that draws electricity even when it's not charging a device.

They provide the cable, not the adapter

#

So, I understand now is probably the worst time to ask given our current geo-political-economic state in the world... But are there any good laptop deals currently?

tawny shoal
#

Depends on budget and what you wanna do with it

opaque pelican
#

I guess a good benchmark would be the ability to play COD:Warzone at 60fps on medium settings, 8gb of memory medium, and Intel or Ryzen work for me

tawny shoal
#

Alright

opaque pelican
#

I admit, those parameters may be a bit archaic

glacial lichen
#

Anyone know any good 1440 p 144hz 27 in monitors for cheap ?

opaque pelican
#

Hopefully <$1000 USD, but my searches so far have not been promising

fiery stream
#

To be able to do warzone 60fps medium on that budget may be a bit difficult, I’ll throw a couple options at you

tawny shoal
#

4800H + 2060

fiery stream
#

Similar but the second link I posted has the 144hz ips screen and 16gb ram

tawny shoal
#

Mine had a 120hz and 16gb..

#

24hz isn't worth the 200 bucks imo

fiery stream
#

Well also brand difference but yeah

opaque pelican
#

I dont care about 144hz tbh, 120 or 60 is good for me

#

I'm currently @ 15.6 60fps 1080p, I'm content there

tawny shoal
#

Yeah they're only shooting for 60fps

opaque pelican
#

Aye

@fiery stream They had to go back down to 8 cores because they were backporting technologies they had had planned for 10nm back to 14nm. In order to get that stuff to work, they didn't have space for the 2 more cores that the 10-series chips had.

I don't think it's a space issue btw considering the cores should be smaller/same size on 10nm as 14nm

Also on the Mobo desc, it says "Intel wifi", does it mean that it only supports intel cpu, I know a b550 dosent take intel but I don't understand that part. Im aiming to get a graphics card between like 800 bucks so it makes it 2k. (Build for a friend, she says shes gonna buy like late june).

you could probably sell the 1070 for like 350+

Agreed. I bought it new for 200 before everything went to hell

#

Could get enough to buy a 3060ti at MSRP, assuming they ever get that low again lol

tawny shoal
#

Wasnt in stock for very long but long enough for most ppl to snag

#

And if you plan on selling ur 1070 I'd buy a 3060ti first if financially possible, that way you aren't stuck without a gpu indefinitely

wise marsh
#

If I'm gonna be honest, I'd rather be without a gpu than spend 3x MSRP for a 3060ti

#

It wouldn't be worth it to me, personally.

Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price

coral walrus
patent nymph
#

retailers and distributors for the most part

coral walrus
#

are retailers allowed to price higher than this suggestion?

patent nymph
#

yes

#

hence suggested

coral walrus
#

so it's not a law or regulation of any sort?

hollow prawn
#

No

coral walrus
#

How does the retailer make money?

hollow prawn
#

MSRP also depends on the company

hollow prawn
coral walrus
#

Why are manufacturers marketing "MSRP" pricing directly to consumers?

hollow prawn
#

Basically, MSRP is what price consumers should see

hollow prawn
#

That MSRP is set by the AIB partners, EVGA and MSI in this case

#

But the MSRP set by NVidia doesn't really amount to anything in aib pricing

coral walrus
#

But "MSRP" is information privy only to the retailer is it not?

hollow prawn
#

Mostly, yes, but the one MSRP figure we for sure get is what NVidia sets

#

For example, 330$ for 3060, 400$ for 3060ti, 500$ for 3070, etc.

#

The term is just used, generally, to refer to that NVidia figure

coral walrus
#

So if the consumer has information about MSRP that was privy to the retailer only then how does the retailer ensure they can have sufficient margin, given everyone knows the price is fixed.

hollow prawn
coral walrus
#

if the distributor knows the price fix before sale they can just raise the price

hollow prawn
#

For AIB cards, the process is
NVidia -> AIB -> Retailer
We have the piece of the puzzle for what NVidia says, we don't for AIB

#

And what do you mean the price fix..?

coral walrus
#

If the consumers know the MSRP beforehand then wouldn't that cause a bear market for retailers?

hollow prawn
#

Other retailers can't really just raise the price above the msrp without people noticing, after all, there's multiple retailers that are competing, it's in their interest to sell at MSRP given by aib partners.

coral walrus
#

aib partners don't sell direct to retailers

#

there is always a distributor

#

usually a distributor also has a profit motive

#

so the price never gets lower

#

only the margin gets smaller

hollow prawn
#

Afaik they sell directly to retailers, that's why some aib partners have their own shops, and the whole thing retailers do is sit on thin margins.

#

I'm still not sure what you're trying to say

#

If consumers know aib msrp, retailers lose money..?

coral walrus
#

But if manufacturers didn't publish msrp to customers then retailers could just set their own prices and margins, couldn't they?

hollow prawn
coral walrus
#

but if everyone sells at the same price, msrp, then what differentiates one store from another?

hollow prawn
#

If there was only 1 retailer in the world, and consumers don't have any idea what msrp is, sure they can just raise the price to hell, but that's not the case.

hollow prawn
#

Ask yourself, if you can get a 3070 at 700$ at Amazon or Newegg, is there any real difference?

coral walrus
#

I'm of the opinion manufacturers shouldn't be marketing direct to consumers the pricing that is privy to retailers only

hollow prawn
#

??

#

Aib msrp pricing is mostly kept secret, you only really guess by the price they list on their store

coral walrus
#

at the moment there is really only 1 realistic computer store on the planet and that's newegg, with amazon a close second. Independent shops have zero chance of profit.

#

consolidations have happened in this sector and not in the benefit of smaller players

hollow prawn
#

Sadly, but brick and mortar stores like Microcenter can cut their margins even thinner to attract customers.

#

Or, more often, people are willing to pay more at local stores to get parts quickly then wait for shipping.

coral walrus
#

microcentre can't ship out

hollow prawn
#

In terms of online stores, yea, independent shops can't really get anywhere

coral walrus
#

I know they are willing to pay more. I offered someone $50 in free cash to wait for mail order and he declined a Lian Li snow edition case.

hollow prawn
#

Ecommerce is mostly dominated by giants, it's a saturated market, it is what it is.

#

Newegg can't even compete with Amazon overall, they can't afford a logistics system anywhere near Amazon's

Anybody know of a relatively high quality, curved, QHD, VESA-standardized 24in monitor? Pickings seem slim across all sites 😛

unborn phoenix
#

yeah so
curved 24in is pretty rare

clever pilot
#

is it just cause it's not wide enough to merit curvature?

unborn phoenix
#

pretty much

clever pilot
#

or is there a technical reason

#

gotcha

unborn phoenix

curved begins to become more prevalent once you get past 27 iirc

stylistically it would go so well with the setup I want

unborn phoenix
#

ah

clever pilot
#

yah I ABSOLUTELY understand the benefit with an ultrawide screen

#

I have a stacked component of my setup where I want to put a 24in on top of a 27 in curved

#

and I intuitively feel as though a flat 24 on top of a curved 27 seems goofy

unborn phoenix

that is true

but maybe I just need to buy one and see if reality matches intuition?
