[fossil cedar]

Yes sucking crap is a technical term for gaming on a mac

[glacial basin]

Looks sick, what pc do you have ?

[fossil cedar]

https://ie.pcpartpicker.com/user/Patokav/saved/#view=TNQnpg

[cyan ravine]

P12 fangirl like me???

[mossy venture]

P12s>

[glacial basin]

How does it run ?

[fossil cedar]

It's got no legs am afraid :(

[fossil cedar]

In all seriousness, good, will probably upgrade to 13th gen intel when it comes out tho

[fossil cedar]

Hell yee

[glacial basin]

Hahahahah made me laugh that and nice that’s the good thing about PC’s you can upgrade

[rich void]

Did you see that amd is announcing their new lineup the 29th?
I'm gonna have to try to hold back the upgrade-itis

[frank stirrup]

Well snek has no legs and it zoomy too

[fossil cedar]

Yes but ddr5 too expensive and i wanna reuse my great ddr4

[fossil cedar]

But it no run

[cyan ravine]

What if snek cartwheeled

Do it be runnin or be zoomin?

[rich void]

Yeah, that'll help me out too. I'd need a new board, ram, and CPU. I think the only way I'd go for it is if I thought I could get decent value selling my current system

[fossil cedar]

[fossil cedar]

Fair enough, although 13th gen is honestly looking really impressive

[glacial basin]

Do you need a certain motherboard for ddr5 ram

[worn wave]

Yes, you need a motherboard that supports DDR5 RAM.

[glacial basin]

I see, pretty new to this. Is there a good motherboard that supports all the latest parts ?

[frigid night]

Latest parts meaning? Latest Intel cpu? Amd cpu? Ddr5? Ddr4?

Gpu?

[glacial basin]

rtx 3080/3090. DDR5 RAM

[frigid night]

Ok. Intel or amd cpu? That's going to be the biggest deciding factor of what mobo you get.

[glacial basin]

prob AMD i think

[frigid night]

Welp. Then I can be of no further use to you. I know nothing about AMD cpu/mobo

Sorry 😛

[fossil cedar]

Ddr5 is still terrible value atm for maybe like 5% better only really better off getting it if going 12900k

[frigid night]

Which is intel 😛

I like intel

[fossil cedar]

Yes

[frigid night]

❤️

[fossil cedar]

Atm there is 0 amd desktop cpus that support ddr5

[glacial basin]

how do you guys keep on top of the pc stuff, seems like its a never-ending money pit having a custom PC which you constantly need/want to upgrade parts?

[cyan ravine]

by not upgrading constantly

[south cliff]

forza 4 is acting weird with my wheel its like very sensetive but dirt 5 is totally fine

[cyan ravine]

forza in general is weird with wheels

lots of ffb issues I've seen over the years

it doesn't even properly work with direct drive

[south cliff]

yeah but i barley turn the wheel and im going side ways

[frigid night]

If you spend the money to get what is latest at that point.. Then you won't need to spend any more money for a few years at least.

[south cliff]

dirt 5 is doing me good tho and im having fun with it

[frigid night]

Upgrading every time something new comes out is enthusiast/show offs kind of thing.

Or.. You just have a lot of money and don't care.

ORR you didn't do your research before you built your first PC so you end up spending an enormous amount more building the PC you really wanted.

I'll let you decide which category I fit into XD

[glacial basin]

thats fair tbf

[glacial basin]

maybe this 🥲

[frigid night]

[glacial basin]

hahhahaha

random question but does favourites on your browser cause it to slow down or does it consume more memory the more you have. Only because i have a lot on my favourites bar in chrome

[potent portal]

It'll be negligible

[frigid night]

You can also create folders to put on your favorites bar to organize it if you wanted. Like I have all PC related things put into a folder called PC

[fossil cedar]

Just really enjoy it 🤷

[modest bone]

I am looking for a computer build with a budget of 700$ roughly but I don't need an SSD or an hard drive because I'm striping my pc for that, I am also in need of 32 gbs of ram because I'm look to stream.

[fossil cedar]

You cab stream perfectly fine on 16gb ram, whats your current pc?

Might be able to bring psu case forward etc

[modest bone]

what do you mean by cab im not familiar with that word?

[fossil cedar]

Can*

Typo :)

[modest bone]

but my current PC is Radeon RX 580Series I have 16 gbs ram and my CPU is a intel(R) core(TM) i5-7400

[fossil cedar]

oh what power supply, case and what speed ram you have?

might be able to reuse some and save money/get better parts

[modest bone]

I am not sure what speed my ram is

but my power supply is 450

[fossil cedar]

you can check the sticker on it or download and run cpu-z or hwinfo64

okay gonna need a new power supply

what case?

[modest bone]

an acer prebuild one

[fossil cedar]

ah okay

ram is probably slow then

might be better off selling your current pc and getting a new ssd btw

[modest bone]

i also need a new motherboard because that is also from the prebuilt

[fossil cedar]

yeah no good cpus or cpus you can buy will fit in that board anyway

[modest bone]

yeah

this was the computer that i was thinking to buy but i didnt have the money

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9QmQKp

i dont need the ssd tho

[fossil cedar]

yeah but if you sell your current pc as a whole you would get more than enough for an ssd if you get me

anyway

[modest bone]

im not sure i want to do that tho

[fossil cedar]

what you going to do with the current pc then if not sell it?

[modest bone]

i was going to give my current pc to my brother but im taking the ssd

or i would sell it after i get the computer

[fossil cedar]

ah right, well you will need to buy a new ssd for that build anyway and do a windows reinstall so may as put the new ssd in your pc

[modest bone]

i mean if it fits in the budget then sure

[fossil cedar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FRMm2m

id do that

[modest bone]

i see that you put an intel core i3 does that mean that its not as good as say an i5?

[fossil cedar]

Depends on which i5, for example it's better than your current i5, worse than the i5 in the same generation but not by much

[modest bone]

ok

[rich void]

Can also depend on what you're throwing at it

[modest bone]

but also my current ssd is better than the one that you put in i would rather spend the money on something else

[rich void]

At this point as you go up the product stack you're mostly getting more cores. That doesn't always translate into better performance for every task (or much of a gain if there is one)

[modest bone]

I'm guessing its bad to mismatch memory's but could I theoretically do that? with the pc still working

[fossil cedar]

in general 12100 is better than the 7400 anyway @modest bone

[modest bone]

thats true

[fossil cedar]

whats your current ssd

[rich void]

Yeah newer generations of hardware can offer big gains

[fossil cedar]

yes if it doesnt decide to error out, unstable memory is a very unfun time

[modest bone]

I dont know if this helps but this is what im seeing CT1000MX500SSD4

[fossil cedar]

thats a larger ssd, the one i put in the list is faster

not really anything you can do with another 35$ thats worth it anyway

[modest bone]

But i would use that space way faster

[fossil cedar]

yeye makes sense just letting you know

[modest bone]

I haven't ran into any problems with the SSD that I own and use regularly

[fossil cedar]

Yeah perfectly good ssd just remember to reinstall windows

[modest bone]

alright my father is good with computers so we should be able to do that

what do you think of this?https://pcpartpicker.com/list/y9pFC6

[fossil cedar]

I really wouldn't go 32gb ram with a 4 core cpu

If anything I'd spend that money going to 12400f

Id do this if you where to go over budget
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rTRCC6

Or the msi board

Just the asrock ones cheaper

[modest bone]

yeah I would just like to have that extra ram for streaming i think i can squeeze out the budget to 750 if you could add a 32 gb instead?

this is what i think would work but give me your thought on it https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hffDnt

[fossil cedar]

Extra ram won't actually help in streaming as streaming is done by the gpu, sure it's a nice to have but definitely an unnecessary spend

[modest bone]

what does ram give you then?

[mossy venture]

I mean, depends, when I was streaming warzone I ran into ram limit with 16gb, though I did have a few other things open

Would drop to like 2 frames per minute whenever a gun fight happened

[modest bone]

would ram help with stuttering or is that something else?

[mossy venture]

But id still get a 12400f and 16gb over 12100f and 32gb

[fossil cedar]

Would run into page file tbh

[mossy venture]

Ram oc would help with 1% lows

But not more ram

Or save for a bit longer and get 12400f and 32gb

Or get 16gb and add more later

[modest bone]

well i was thinking 12400f and 32gbs of ram

[desert gulch]

I can confirm this

More ram can help when you have a hungry game and all your streaming crap open sometimes

I've hit my 16gb limit with just a game before, kek

[modest bone]

yeah does the game crash if you hit the 16gb limit?

[fossil cedar]

Nah it will just go into page file instead

[desert gulch]

Not usually

[modest bone]

also just normally with 16 gbs im using 6.5 without games

[desert gulch]

It'll just run like crap

Swap memory starts kicking in at full capacity so you'd probs see a really horrible gaming experience

[modest bone]

yeah

[desert gulch]

Pagefile and swap memory are both the same, the PC will start to use your drive as a temporary memory

But since that's not near as quick as ram is, that's where you can see some pretty bad gaming expirience

[modest bone]

i see yeah

cause normally when im streaming my game is lagging and stuttering when it normally doesn't when not streaming

also just playing warzone without streaming is hard on my computer

[mossy venture]

That's just bloatware

[modest bone]

ok so thats normal

[formal plover]

Troubleshooting rn

The pc isn't complete so these aren't really for looks

[mossy venture]

What're you trying to do?

[formal plover]

Get it to turn on

New build for my friend

Doesn't post

Only sign of life is the psu light is on

[mossy venture]

Checked cpu pins?

[formal plover]

Yeah cpu installed fine

[mossy venture]

Tried other ram slots?

[formal plover]

I can try removing a stick

[rich void]

Did you double check the front panel connector?

[mossy venture]

Try one in just the third slot

[formal plover]

Triple checked with the manual

[desert gulch]

@formal plover what's the connector going into the CPU power say?

Wanna make sure you didn't plug in pcie/GPU to eps/cpu

[subtle halo]

sadly he cant stream at general .. can u see special gaming vc @formal plover

[formal plover]

It's a modular psu but it's the atx power plugged into the cpu

[modest bone]

quick question is this a good pc build? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hffDnt

[desert gulch]

Could try shorting power pins

[subtle halo]

ow u can live stream at twitch @formal plover

we will watch

xD

[desert gulch]

Really bad motherboard, it'll overheat even with that i5

I'd reccomend a b660m (pro a MSI or mortar) typically

[formal plover]

Yeah that's what I started doing in case the case had an issur

[desert gulch]

Punny man

[subtle halo]

make sure you plug it all the way

[rich void]

Is it just me or is that gray one plugged in at a weird angle?

[formal plover]

I'm live on Twitch, come hang out! https://www.twitch.tv/flite001?sr=a

I'm showing a cam here

[modest bone]

so something like this? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VrjbyK

[desert gulch]

Probs was shorting it manually

[formal plover]

Then u can put questions in chat or something

[subtle halo]

i have msi before it should atleast have lights when u plug everything fine

but heres the crazy part when i broke my mobo.. the mobo wont light up when i put cpu in xD.. i short my mobo for some reason

[formal plover]

Yeah it's unplugged

[rich void]

👍

[subtle halo]

u sitll offline sad delay twitch

its good now

[formal plover]

Wait

[desert gulch]

I'll hop on PC in a sec and make you list. What's your budget and what will you do with the PC?

[formal plover]

It closes the stream when I switch to discord

Lemme try split screen

[subtle halo]

ok everyone just chat on twitch

[modest bone]

my original budget was 700 but i can mostly do 750

[desert gulch]

Ok

[formal plover]

username is flite001

Doesn't let me send invite link

I'm doing split screen with twitch and discord

[mossy venture]

Can get asus tuf 550 to save about $10

Non modular though

[modest bone]

what do you mean non modular?

[mossy venture]

All the cables are already part of the psu

Not ones you plug into the psu

[modest bone]

oh i see

[desert gulch]

you gonna stream with it?

[modest bone]

yeah mostly

most likely*

[desert gulch]

aight

[subtle halo]

https://www.twitch.tv/flite001 join flite xD

hes streaming his pc

[desert gulch]

do you need wifi @modest bone ?

[modest bone]

no i have ethernet

[desert gulch]

aight cool

rip, fitting this all in is gonna be really difficult

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3YjbyK thats as close as i personally got with 12400 (non f for QSV, basically takes load of streaming), 32gb, 1tb, kinda made for streaming

but thats only 6600 so maybe someone else can take a shot at getting a 6600xt in or something

[modest bone]

ok

what does the custom mean?

[formal plover]

6600 is an excellent value

[modest bone]

isnt the 12400f cheaper than the 12400 without f?

[mossy venture]

I mean, can take out the 214xt

But aside from that looks about as good as it'll get

5600 and a cheap b550 might be a bit less

[modest bone]

is there any performance differences?

[desert gulch]

sadly 5600 spendy

so not much of a difference

[modest bone]

ok

[desert gulch]

plus with 12400 you get QSV

[fossil cedar]

6600 and up have encoder

[desert gulch]

sure but QSV better

its like $7 over the f to get the non f, its worth imo

[modest bone]

ok

[fossil cedar]

Qsv?

Means downgrading to 6600 non xt tho too

[desert gulch]

its already over budget by like $65

QSV is quicksync video

so just easier of saying quicksync

[modest bone]

yeah im not sure i can get much more than 750-760 ill ask tho

[desert gulch]

yeah i get it

[modest bone]

i was thinking along the lines of this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cBX3W4

[fossil cedar]

Ah right

But useless if gpu has encoder

[rich void]

You get it running?

[modest bone]

so what do you think of the computer i put in chat?

[fossil cedar]

Worse gpu for better cpu ehh

[modest bone]

isnt the cpu good tho

[fossil cedar]

Boards not great eirher

Cpu is good yes

[modest bone]

well th board isnt going to change the computer

like the performance

but its a good mid tier computer

[analog hearth]

upgrading the CPU doesn’t always mean better performance, but you can for sure upgrade the GPU without worrying as much about bottlenecks

[modest bone]

yeah it also mean that i dont have to spend more on motherboards

[analog hearth]

ye but don’t sacrifice a good motherboard for a better CPU

[modest bone]

also the motherboard doesnt change the performance right?

[modest bone]

yeah

[timid dragon]

Hey anybody ever had trouble connecting their controller to their pc?

[tropic laurel]

trying to help a friend, his Corsair iCUE H170i ELITE is plugged in, Icue detects tempatures within its program but his CPU Temp reader is showing this: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/745130013950738593/1009591442978635866/IMG_7051.jpg

[desert gulch]

https://help.corsair.com/hc/en-us/articles/4418659064077-What-do-these-error-icons-on-my-iCUE-ELITE-CPU-Cooler-LCD-Display-mean-

heres some stuff to try straight from corsair themselves

[stone warren]

im very tempted to go back to an AIO cpu pump and get rid of my loop

[modest bone]

changing motherboards only affect how much ram slots and stuff not game performance right?

[stone warren]

not necessarily

some motherboards handle heavy load differently, temps, cooling, fan slots, m.2 support, etc

[jagged ember]

if you're overclocking

[stone warren]

^

[jagged ember]

if you're just using it for gaming and stuff

yes

[modest bone]

ok thanks

[tropic laurel]

yeah we already looked at this, Interesting for me atelast , Were waiting on a response from corsair support but other then that were just trying to figure out if its something having an issue, He Uninstalled and reinstalled the Icue program, Updated it, made sure everything was updated but we cant seem to figure it out

[stone warren]

finally had a min to sit down and take apart my water loop and fully clean it out. that distro plate was a ginormous pain in my butt

[drowsy zodiac]

nice looking pc!

[stone warren]

thanks 😄

[sudden orchid]

are graphics card brackets worth buying?

[frigid night]

Depends. Are they worth paying a premium for? No. You can easily build your own for much cheaper with Legos. That being said... if you want something that looks good, then sure.

But they are worth having either way.

[fossil cedar]

You can literally use anything like even lego

[potent portal]

Have you seen the Lego PC case?

I bet all those bricks cost more than a regular case by far lol

But it'll be very structurally sound at least

[frigid night]

I see a project for my Legos in the future xD

I have so many legos it's ridiculous.

I haven't played with them in years.

[potent portal]

You'll probably need a 3D printer or some scrap mounting parts from an old case to do it

Things like the PSU mount are very precisely measured, but a removable mount could be repurposed easily.

[frigid night]

Hm. My friend has a company that has "use it or lose it" funding for peoples bills and they are about to lose it so I'm gonna use it.. maybe I'll look into getting a 3d printer with the saved money.

Any recommendations? I see them on sale all the time on newegg, but I know nothing about 3d printers to be able to discern if they are even that good.

[potent portal]

I've never touched a 3D printer so I'm of no help there

I think LTT had a bunch of them and reviewed some?

[frigid night]

I don't need some top of the line super expensive 3d printer. But quality:price is preferred.

So otherwise.. not really.

Hm. Is there one that does both?

I'm sure I could make use of both.

[frigid night]

I apologize for late reply. I will have some questions here in a bit. I ended up getting busy and still got a little bit to do. Didn't want you to think I was ignoring you.

So if I were to want to print box mods for vaping.. which one would I be wanting to go for? I will also want to be making stands for the vapes and various other items. How would I go about adding threads into the 3d printed item for things like atty stands where the 510 pin could screw into. I would also like to be able to have detail as in my own logo or any logo/decal in the printed item as well if possible..

The resin printer you mentioned miniatures.. inassume the resin is a smaller filament that can be more precise with where it's placed by the printer?

Is there not an all in one printer that I can just swap out little bits of hardware here and there to convert it when I need it to be one or the other?

Without sacrificing performance/quality of either one?

Oh ok

Looks like I'm gonna need to be doing some research then.

Ah I see. Hm. I do not have the room atm I think to be messy and have to cure stuff.

Yeah I kinda figured that would be the better way.

Alright. I'll start looking into the ones you suggested. As far as the fookoos Odin 5.. what kind of tinkering and upgrading would I be looking at? Would that make the cost go above something else of comparable performance that doesn't require tinkering or upgrading?

https://www.newegg.com/p/288-00EP-00001?item=9SIB3WTG384353&nm_mc=knc-googleadwords&cm_mmc=knc-googleadwords-_-3d printers-_-fokoos-_-9SIB3WTG384353&source=region

This is what I'm looking at right?

What kind of tinkering and upgrading would I need to be doing for it?

[fossil cedar]

I saw kraken and almost got triggered thought you where talking about the aio

[frigid night]

Autolevel bedmesh? I kinda understand what raspberry pi is, but couldn't whatever is on that be used on my PC? And I take it garolite is the plate that the print starts on?

As far as the kraken heatbreak.. that would be compatible with this printer?

Ok. Do you have a link?

I'm unsure of what I'm looking at. I will get all this at once if I decide to get a printer. Fookoos seems like it might be exactly what I'd need.

I'll just have to learn it as I have it.

This was done with that fookoos. Looks like good enough detail for me.

@pliant swallow you def opened a can of questions. XD

[frigid night]

@pliant swallow whats up with the Ender 3? It seems like thats a highly rated beginner one?

I guess I'm wondering how it compares to the fookoos?

[trim lynx]

hello i see a laptop lenovo idea pad 3 650$ i510300h 8 ram gtx1650 ti is it good 120 hz fresh rate

[fossil cedar]

Should be able to get a 1660 or 3050 laptop for that price

[cyan ravine]

But that fresh rate is good

[obsidian wigeon]

but 1650ti sucks

so badly

[cyan ravine]

But fresh rate

[jagged ember]

But 1650ti

[cyan ravine]

But it's too fresh

[frigid night]

https://tenor.com/view/fresh-prince-hair-cut-will-smith-hair-did-new-hair-cut-gif-12045822

[olive cypress]

1650ti mobile = 1650 desktop ≈ rx6400 = bad

3050mobile is slightly better but not by much. So yes, 3050 laptop you should aim for that

[mossy venture]

Would DCS world run on a 1660 decently?

Friends asking for a $500 build, I've got a spare 1660 I could give him if it'll work well

[fossil cedar]

Dcs?

[frigid night]

That's what I expected. The vendor delivery guy at my work is swearing it up and down as he is also telling me about all the issues he has encountered.

I'm really thinking of going with the Fokoos Odin 5 because I think it's small enough for me, however I still need to do some research before I make a decision. I was at work last night so that is why I kept asking all those questions. I'm home now though so once I'm done with my class, I will be looking into it much deeper.

[mossy venture]

Idk, it's what he asked

[fossil cedar]

Asked them what they meant lol

[olive cypress]

Distributed control system?

[modest bone]

im trying to get a cheaper but reliable cpu fan for this setup im trying to cut the amount from 775 to 760 https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cBX3W4

just the last step to get this one

[frigid night]

I almost feel like there is no way you can get $15 cheaper with the CPU cooler without sacrificing performance by 100%. You'd have to like.. find someone who has a used one and is willing to come off it for like $7 or less.

To me it looks like you would have to try and find cheaper "possibly" RAM or go with a cheaper MOBO, which then again for a price cut you would be sacrificing more performance than the amount you are saving.

IMO just go mow a lawn or something and get that $15.

Clean out an old ladies ( @frank stirrup 's mom) garage for $20 or something.

[frank stirrup]

Oh piss off

[frigid night]

❤️

[modest bone]

do you think buying a use one is viable?

[frigid night]

sure if it's in good condition, but if all your parts are new.. may as well grab a new cooler too. $22 for your cooler is nothing compared to the cost of the rest of your build.

I spent $200 on my cooler.

[modest bone]

wow

i guess thats true ill have to haggle

[fossil cedar]

I helped with this for even cheaper and better gpu too ;-;

[modest bone]

wdym?

[frigid night]

He helped you reduce the price of your previous list further by swapping out the gpu you had for a better/cheaper GPU that you have in your list currently.

[modest bone]

ohh thanks that really saved my life

i think i could get it but it maybe hard, but i believe ill find a way

[frigid night]

Where there is a will.. there is a way.

[modest bone]

thank you guys for all the help

[modest bone]

indeed

@fossil cedar what was that half a TB SSD name, I might need to add it

[fossil cedar]

Team mp33

[modest bone]

thanks

[willow quest]

Which fan speed option on bios do I ignore so I don’t get the “cpu fan error” in boot

[modest bone]

im not sure?

[jagged ember]

did you plug in your CPU fan into the right header

[modest bone]

i dont have the computer yet

if thats what your asking

[jagged ember]

referring to pyro lol

[jagged ember]

but you'll probably figure that out when you get the PC

[modest bone]

yeah

[broken lake]

Ok so my new aio finally came in

What is the best way to clean off my cpu?

Microfiber and rubbing alcohol?

[rich void]

Yeah, I usually try to get the CPU warmed up a bit with a benchmark to loosen things up. You want high proof rubbing alcohol, I go with 99% but you can go a bit lower as well

Just be gentle

[broken lake]

Ok

[frigid night]

I just wipe excess off first with a paper towel. Then I use 70% alchohol wipes to get the remainder (IHS will be nice and shiny) then I wipe down with microfiber just to make sure.. then I give it a blast of canned air.

As far as gentle.. Just don't be like pushing down on the CPU super hard. I mean the bracket pretty well is doing a good job holding it down tight.

[broken lake]

I think I got it good enough

[frigid night]

one thing though

[still roost]

Vanya#0001 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[frigid night]

give me a sec*

[broken lake]

Ok

[olive cypress]

It's triggering me because it's slightly moved to the right

But it's ok

[broken lake]

lol

[frigid night]

try to move your bracket to where those are even

[olive cypress]

Unless you want .1C less and put it exactly in the center

[broken lake]

Ok I’ll do that

[frigid night]

may as well since you are already right there

[empty pollen]

looks beautiful tho

nice cleaning

[rich void]

Looks good to me

[rugged charm]

Hey! What's everyone running for a case and 360mm aio? Last items I need beside a gpu. Rocking a b550 taichi. Decent airglow and possibly with rgb. Can always buy fans if the case is cheaper and/or comes without.

[broken lake]

This better??

I am procrastinating starting this build so hard

I’m so nervous that I’m gonna break something

[empty pollen]

was the same for all of us

just take your time, no rush

and ask if in doubt 🙂

[broken lake]

👍

[spring pine]

is newegg a good place to buy gpus from

[empty pollen]

never had a problem buying from egg

[broken lake]

Bruhhhhh

I think I need to buy more stuff

This aio needs a separate mounting thing that apparently doesn’t come with it

[drowsy zodiac]

probably the lga1700 i’d assume lol

you could email the place you got it from and they should send it free, my air cooler didn’t come with the mounting bracket and they mailed me it free of charge

[broken lake]

I could do that but I want it today

[drowsy zodiac]

gotcha

[broken lake]

Are the lga 1700 brackets specific to coolers or could I just go to micro center and grab one

[drowsy zodiac]

yeah i’m not sure then tbh i’d leave it up to someone else to tell you what to do

[broken lake]

Like does this only work with the msi mag coreliquid or will it work with mine?

[drowsy zodiac]

where’s felix lol he would know

@cyan ravine

[broken lake]

Felix save meeeee XD

[drowsy zodiac]

fr lol

i’m pretty sure there for specific coolers but don’t take that whole heart because i’m not 100% sure lol

[cyan ravine]

Matters by the threading of the screws rather than the fitment of the bracket

Also that bracket looks plastic which is kinda meh

[drowsy zodiac]

mine just arrived today and it’s plastic but oh well

[cyan ravine]

Yours is a 12400f dun matter lol

[broken lake]

The one that came with it is also plastic

[drowsy zodiac]

lol

[cyan ravine]

But yes this would fit with a mag core

[broken lake]

I have a cooler master

That’s why I was asking if it only worked with a mag core

[cyan ravine]

Oh right

My b it's 5am

[broken lake]

lol all good

[cyan ravine]

Does your board also have lga 1200 compatibility holes at all?

[broken lake]

No

Just the 4 holes

[cyan ravine]

Does cm make one?

[earnest olive]

wouldn't take chances with brackets not designed for your cooler

you may get poor mounting pressure

or worst case break a standoff or something

[cyan ravine]

Or just won't mount at all sometimes

Ok @broken lake they can send you one

Only available on the cooler master store apparently

https://store.coolermaster.com/us/lga1700-603005870-gp

This one? I think

[little osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/ryzen-installing-lego-gif-13010107

If the black part rises slightly on one side

Is that bad?

For cpu

[cyan ravine]

Wha

[broken lake]

Damn another like week to ship

Damn

[cyan ravine]

What part

[little osprey]

The black part under cpu

On bottom left

[cyan ravine]

You mean the pga socket?

[little osprey]

Yes

[cyan ravine]

Wha-

How did you get that lifted?

Is the cpu ok??

[little osprey]

Pulling out the old cpu

Before

The new I got

Wondering if maybe thats why B1&2 doesnt work

[cyan ravine]

That's likely a good indication

If you can show a pic please that would help

Would be good to see if any cpu pins are bent

[little osprey]

Ooop

It broke off

[broken lake]

Uh oh

[little osprey]

Its fairly intact

Any way I can glue it back

[cyan ravine]

[broken lake]

I feel like that’s not something you can just glue back

[cyan ravine]

Pic of the socket please

Like

Don't do anything else

Just pic of the socket

[cyan ravine]

Ok well I see why your ram sticks are half working now

Paste in the socket

[empty pollen]

what aio do you have?

[broken lake]

Is this the right one?

[empty pollen]

the brackets are different depending on the model

[little osprey]

Above the socket*

[empty pollen]

the aio pal

[cyan ravine]

No, in the socket

[little osprey]

It didnt get in

[empty pollen]

which one did you have

[cyan ravine]

I'm gonna show you lol

[little osprey]

Cpu goes in fine

[little osprey]

Ik

Its above

[cyan ravine]

That interferes with the pin contact

[empty pollen]

603005870-GP/603006060-GP- this is the socket that you need

[little osprey]

There is no MoBo that supports 5000 series on delivery

[empty pollen]

so yes, it works

[little osprey]

[empty pollen]

is the 603005870

[cyan ravine]

It can do things like lose a ram socket or two lol

[empty pollen]

this one works fine according to cooler master, is the 603005870

[little osprey]

So isopro used on it fix it?

[empty pollen]

even the 603006060 can work

[broken lake]

Ok because this one has 1 say shipping instead of the 5-6 day shipping on their website

[cyan ravine]

You gotta get the paste out which is extremely difficult

Tbh I wouldn't touch it now that it's damaged

[little osprey]

Isopro would melt it, no?

[cyan ravine]

No

Isopro would clean it but probably not the way you'd hope for

[earnest olive]

exhibit 583927272 on why I'm glad amd is moving to a real socket next gen

[empty pollen]

yeah safe to buy, it will work on your aio

[earnest olive]

so this doesn't happen anymore

[little osprey]

Same

Was a accident

[earnest olive]

dude when I was switching from my 5800x to my 12100 I was lowkey scared to unmount the cooler from the 5800x

[empty pollen]

we are humans after all

[little osprey]

Cleaned thermal paste off top and missed a lil on edges and placing in it got in

[broken lake]

I’m just confused on how much paste you have to put on in order to get paste under the cpu XD

[earnest olive]

filter evade

getting thermal paste in the socket is pretty common

thermal paste gets everywhere

[little osprey]

Accurate

[empty pollen]

hate the profanity buzzer

😄

[broken lake]

It got my name XD

[earnest olive]

you're not supposed to dodge it

[little osprey]

Any intel board/cpu bundle around 200?

[earnest olive]

you know you can change your own nickname right

[cyan ravine]

Truth

[broken lake]

Yea I know

This is funny tho

[earnest olive]

you can probably get a 12100 + b660

[rich void]

What, yes they do

[little osprey]

What board?

[rich void]

Unless a company is shipping motherboards with truly ancient bios they should all work

[little osprey]

X570 doesnt without update

[cyan ravine]

A 12100f + b660m ds3h gets close to 200 @little osprey

[earnest olive]

are X570S guaranteed to support zen 3?

[empty pollen]

that depends on how much time was your mobo on the shelf actually

maybe you are unlucky

[earnest olive]

I think X570S are the only boards that are guaranteed

[rich void]

X570 can come with the right bios. 5000 series has been out a while

[earnest olive]

otherwise there's a small chance you get a board without zen 3 support

[cyan ravine]

Would get a b550 with bios flash button

[little osprey]

So a new b450 would work too?

Potentially

[empty pollen]

yup, am4 mobo must have a flash bios support somewhere

to avoid any bad luck on the shelf

[little osprey]

I cant afford the extra 50 for b550

[empty pollen]

maybe you wont need it after all, but better safe than sorry

[cyan ravine]

You have a 200 budget lol

[rich void]

Huh?

[earnest olive]

as long as it has bios flashback

[cyan ravine]

What you mean you can't

[rich void]

X570 is usually more costly than b550

[earnest olive]

but no reason to buy new b450

[broken lake]

Ok bracket has been ordered

[cyan ravine]

[earnest olive]

used b450 is so cheap now

[broken lake]

Amazon prime one day is saving me

[little osprey]

That was assuming I refund cpu instead of replace

[earnest olive]

what cpu is it

[cyan ravine]

Refund which cpu??

[little osprey]

5600

[cyan ravine]

[earnest olive]

yeah I wouldn't go from 5600 to 12100

says the guy who went from 5800x to 12100

[cyan ravine]

So how much can you spend?

[earnest olive]

speaking of that

I found out something huge yesterday

[little osprey]

100ish

[cyan ravine]

Was it a tower

[earnest olive]

I thought my board had no bclk control

[cyan ravine]

[earnest olive]

but it just has no bclk control on locked cpus

so once I upgrade I will no longer be stuck at 99.76mhz

no more ddr4-3590 lmao

[cyan ravine]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/PDsnTW/msi-b550m-pro-vdh-wifi-micro-atx-am4-motherboard-b550m-pro-vdh-wifi

[little osprey]

Preferably under 100

[cyan ravine]

Cheapest with bios flash and wifi

[earnest olive]

check used market

b450 is ancient tech

I've seen decent b450s that could run 5950x for $30ish

[cyan ravine]

Used you could get the seller to update bios for a few bucks

Then get a much cheaper board

[little osprey]

I could probably do that

[earnest olive]

lol ok just checked hws and some clown is asking $200 for a midrange x470

[little osprey]

Hws?

[earnest olive]

my guy what year do you think we're living in

r/hardwareswap

[little osprey]

Oh

[earnest olive]

ebay is also decent for motherboards

I got an insane deal for my mobo on ebay

$100 shipped for msi z690-a pro ddr4

perfect functional and cosmetic condition

not even a single thermal paste stain in sight

[little osprey]

I mostly see "for parts" on ebay

Couldnt I just replace the socket?

[earnest olive]

you can filter them out

[little osprey]

It seemed to be seperate anyways

[earnest olive]

replacing socket is a bit harder than you think lol

[little osprey]

The thin plastic piece?

[earnest olive]

how are your micro soldering skills?

if it was easy nobody would sell bent pin boards as is

[little osprey]

The thin plastic piece is where its messed up

[cyan ravine]

Not easy

[earnest olive]

that thin plastic piece is there to protect very tiny and very breakable pins

[cyan ravine]

That plastic piece can come out tho but at this point that board is pretty butchered

You're already running single channel

Single channel on ryzen at that

[earnest olive]

current board might be fixable enough to get back into dual channel

[cyan ravine]

Maybe

[earnest olive]

is single channel on intel really any better

[little osprey]

On cpu or board?

[earnest olive]

board

wtf was that

[little osprey]

A double S

[earnest olive]

I don't think I have german keyboard on my phone LOL

[little osprey]

Looked greek tho

🤔

[earnest olive]

yeah I dunno

damn it felix

now you making me want to pop out one of my dimms and bench some 16gb single channel b-die

on an i3

with a 3090

CPU bottleneck let's gooo

[cyan ravine]

[mossy venture]

Not as bad as 10100 and 3090

[earnest olive]

I am almost certain that dual channel 10100 beats single channel 12100

[cyan ravine]

Do single channel but them RAM OC it as tight as it goes

[earnest olive]

it's already running really good ram for a 12100

[cyan ravine]

3733 CL11

[earnest olive]

I got a lucky sample

can do 3600 gear 1 dual rank

[mossy venture]

Missed that part

[earnest olive]

I mean

this kit runs 3733c12 at 2 volts

so how much does it need for c11

lmao

[mossy venture]

2 volts

Wat

How hot does that run

[earnest olive]

maybe 3733c11 at 2.2v

[cyan ravine]

2.2 and cold probably

[mossy venture]

Funny watt joke

[earnest olive]

it was in a custom loop

so I dunno

probably not that bad

[cyan ravine]

Never hot enough probably

[earnest olive]

my b-die hit 48.5c while gaming yesterday

oof

[cyan ravine]

For benching anyway

[earnest olive]

it was a bit of a worst case scenario

[little osprey]

Can someone find me a board cpu combo under 200?

[earnest olive]

but luckily my game didn't crash

I've had mem errors pop up as low as 47c

[little osprey]

6core preferably

[mossy venture]

12100f msi b660m-p

[earnest olive]

just keep the 5600

you won't beat the 5600 if you need a board+cpu for 200

[little osprey]

🤔

I cant afford a new board though without saving up

[cyan ravine]

Get an updated bios 2nd hand board or get the pro-vdm wifi

[mossy venture]

And you won't consider used?

[earnest olive]

I mean it won't kill you to use your current board as is

[little osprey]

Yea

[earnest olive]

you should try to clean it

[mossy venture]

What's the current board?

[earnest olive]

and see if you can get the second channel back

[little osprey]

How to clean it tho

[earnest olive]

some board with a messed up socket that can only do single channel

[little osprey]

The thermal*

[cyan ravine]

@mossy venture

[mossy venture]

Ah

[earnest olive]

isopropyl alcohol

[mossy venture]

Dayum

[little osprey]

B450

[mossy venture]

I thought my breaking the pcie lock was bad

[cyan ravine]

I thought popping out my socket was bad

[earnest olive]

I thought breaking my 3090 was bad

oh wait it still is

[cyan ravine]

Ok mr. Flex

[earnest olive]

you don't want to know how many 3090s seby broke if you think that's a flex

[cyan ravine]

You don't need to tell me for me to believe it

[little osprey]

Why is it failing to send pic

[earnest olive]

vrm explosion moment

[little osprey]

"Bad network request"

Trying to send pic of under plastic where broke off if any bent

I only see what I believe to be sockets tho

Anyone there?

[stoic island]

Discord might think it's explicit for some reason

[little osprey]

How

[cyan ravine]

Try another pic

[mossy venture]

Dm me it

I'll try posting it

[stoic island]

It told me my hand with a Swiss army knife was explicit and didn't let me send

Editing the picture to be smaller let it post

If you got something in the socket and need to clean it out, isopropyl alcohol and maybe use a needle or toothpick

[little osprey]

Weird

[earnest olive]

that is definitely explicit

it's making me feel something not good

[little osprey]

XD

[cyan ravine]

3 pins on the corner?

[little osprey]

Thats a blank spot

Look at other sides

[cyan ravine]

Ah

Oh yeah it is lol

Other pins seem fine orientation wise

[little osprey]

I believe those are holes

Not pins

[cyan ravine]

Well yes from what I can see

Usually on pga you check the cpu pins not the socket pins

[little osprey]

Yea

[cyan ravine]

There's also

[little osprey]

So if I put cpu in with it like that it be fine?

[cyan ravine]

So much paste

[little osprey]

Im not good with sticky stuff

😔

[cyan ravine]

I don't have enough experience at this level to say it's fine but probably?

[drowsy zodiac]

bruh

[little osprey]

XD

[drowsy zodiac]

what did i just read smh

[cyan ravine]

Either way you need to wash the sticky stuff off the socket

[little osprey]

You didnt see it

[cyan ravine]

Not literally wash but clean

[little osprey]

That makes 10x better

[cyan ravine]

[little osprey]

XD

[drowsy zodiac]

bruh

i read it

[little osprey]

Yes you

Not him

[mossy venture]

Z690a ddr5 is $145

Mmmm

[little osprey]

Honestly dont care if its a downgrade from 5600 aslong as not worse than a 3600 if replace board and cpu

For 200

I was running a 3500x before the 5600

For a b550m steel legend

[earnest olive]

yeah i wouldn't buy it

if it was a1 or b1 maybe worth

if you already have a dac

or bt headphones

[mossy venture]

12100f is similar to the 3600

Not much better

[little osprey]

Tbh I think Im just gonna buy a ps5

Save up

By the time I save up should be in stock

[analog pulsar]

what kinda speeds would i get from an external hard drive

[mossy venture]

I used to get around 25mb/s with the one i used

[analog pulsar]

would that be okay for games

[mossy venture]

Sure

[analog pulsar]

hm

okay another question what 4TB ssds are there thats 4.0 and are "okay" priced

[mossy venture]

Not a single one that I know of

Closest to those parameters would be sn770 I believe

[little osprey]

Talkig nvme or regular ssds?

Talking*

[analog pulsar]

Nvme

[mossy venture]

Or maybe it was 750 that was 4tb, but that thing is a joke of a gen 4 drive

[analog pulsar]

sad P41 isnt 4TB

[mossy venture]

That would likely cost over $700

[analog pulsar]

lol

i mean i saw 4TB ssd for $479

[mossy venture]

That ssd is not the singular best gen 4 drive

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/FZWzK8/teamgroup-mp34-4-tb-m2-2280-nvme-solid-state-drive-tm8fp4004t0c101

Only 4tb gen 4 drive I know of https://pcpartpicker.com/product/tPpzK8/western-digital-black-sn750-4-tb-m2-2280-nvme-solid-state-drive-wds400t3x0c

Which is more expensive than an 8tb 870 qvo

Almost twice the price of 2 2tb s70s

[analog pulsar]

https://i.imgur.com/vURXE0W.png best buy has this

[mossy venture]

Nice drive

One of the best iirc, bit worse than s70?

[analog pulsar]

but what about like 850 or something esle

[mossy venture]

Could be wrong on that

[mossy venture]

The sn850?

There is no 4tb version

[analog pulsar]

hm

[mossy venture]

What are you doing to need a 4tb gen 4 anyways

[analog pulsar]

I wanna download my games and other stuff

[empty gyro]

so I'm trying to build a pc mainly focusing at 1440p but I'm trying to decide what cpu+gpu combo is best for me, I am on budget of $1500 max for an entire pc. The current combos I have in mind are Ryzen 7 5800x + rx6700xt and i5 12400f + rx6800, could someone help me decide which i should get or any other suggestions you may have.

[mossy venture]

And that requires a gen 4 drive for why?

[mossy venture]

12400f and 6900xt.

[empty gyro]

you completely ignored the $1500 budget part

[mossy venture]

Gen 4 for games is the same as buying a 3090 for minecraft

[mossy venture]

Where.

[analog pulsar]

well my computer comes with 4.0 slot i wanna fill it with 4.0

[mossy venture]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RB6jv3

Can even get a 12600kf and pa120

Didn't ignore anything

[mossy venture]

My computer also has the ability to run a 12900ks and 3090 ti, but that doesn't mean there's a use for one.

[mossy venture]

@empty gyro

[little osprey]

anyone know a decent Prebuilt around 5-700$ that comes in white

[mossy venture]

Only build you'll get for that budget is this https://www.walmart.com/ip/seort/871406424

And upgrade ram and add a 2tb hdd

Case is ass but best you'll do

Ye

[empty gyro]

no bottlenecks???

[mossy venture]

It is impossible to have a pc without a bottleneck, by definition

But no, the 12400f is enough for a 3090 ti

And you can get a 12600kf with a peerless assassin 120 for the cooler if you'd like, would still fit in budget

And there's a $720 3080 12gb as well, if you'd prefer nvidia

[little osprey]

honestly don't think the person is up to doing anything to it or having anything done to it

[mossy venture]

That is pretty much their only option

It's a single ram stick being clicked in and two cables

If they can't do that then idk what to tell them

Like, put the pc on its side and push on a rectangle

Plug two cables into a hard drive and plug one into the motherboard,

[little osprey]

what about for 1k? same deal?

[mossy venture]

No, one second

[little osprey]

I think 850 is the budget, or like near it, probably about 1k, but they need a whole setup, so 💀

[mossy venture]

That budget is very difficult for pre builts

Nothing would be better than that Walmart build, and as I said it is extremely easy to do the two upgrades it would need, and it also leaves plenty of room for peripherals and monitor

[little osprey]

the person isn't computer savvy at all

they on even know what the parts are prolly called or nothing like that

If anything they'd bring it to me or someone else to do it which I think was already off the table cause I already suggested doing a whole build for them and they said nah 🤷‍♀️

[mossy venture]

Idk what to tell you

It's either completely compromise on performance, spend more, or watch two YouTube videos and deal with it

Could also do that build and use an external hard drive...

For ram would need to add in the extra stick though

Not much of an alternative choice for that part

[viral ore]

yeah idk, seems like laziness to me

i was doing stuff like that at 8 years old

was probably just as clueless too

[mossy venture]

I pulled my first build apart with literally no knowledge of pcs

Though to be fair I did then take the backplate off my gpu thinking it was part of the case lmao

[cyan ravine]

I took my first one apart too

Nearly ripped the gpu out of the pcie slot lmfao

(I didn't but I almost did)

I did however fry an rgb strip

I stuck a 4 pin corsair rgb fan into a 4 pin 12v rgb plug thinking "oh it's just a different rgb plug" and killed it

[mossy venture]

I broke my pcie lock because I didn't undo it all the way

That was just a few months ago lol

[cyan ravine]

I did that just the other day

Went back in tho

[high yew]

how much y'all think i could get for a Gigabyte 3060 ti OC that i paid $850 for 3 months ago?

[cyan ravine]

So we good fam

400-ish?

[mossy venture]

Depends on where you're at

[cyan ravine]

Maybe less

[mossy venture]

350-400, just check ebay sold listings

[high yew]

location wise? darn i thought i mentioned it

canada

[cyan ravine]

Oh

[mossy venture]

Ah

[cyan ravine]

600-ish?

[mossy venture]

500+, again check ebay sold listings

[high yew]

bet will do

3080 12 or 10?

[cyan ravine]

Better do it soon cos the nvidia price drops are coming

[high yew]

is that extra 2gb of vram worth the extra $200? lol

[cyan ravine]

More drops

No not 200

[mossy venture]

Depends on price diff. $200 not at all

[cyan ravine]

50? Yes

[mossy venture]

Though there is a bit more of a difference between the two than just the vram

[cyan ravine]

100? Meh, yeah?

[mossy venture]

Nah

I'd say 75 hard limit

[cyan ravine]

Yea about 75 is where I stop smiling lol

[mossy venture]

Even that's pushing it

Oh Felix

Slime rancher 2 is dropping on the 22nd

[cyan ravine]

Ooo

I played the 1st one

Might have time for it next week, will see

[high yew]

what y'all think of this build? buddy wants to build and it's over his budget but i think it's the best bang for his buck https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/wvillain/saved/#view=J7pnpg

[mossy venture]

Didn't share the right link

[high yew]

ffs

[mossy venture]

Also what's his budget

[high yew]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/nqtqNc

[mossy venture]

Can do cheaper on psu and case, also vuugo is a troll site

Insane shipping costs

[high yew]

1200 after taxes, so 1050 before taxes

nothing on there has vuugo?

[high yew]

case has 3 fans with it and prime shipping, psu is the cheapest i can find out there that's half decent

[mossy venture]

Doesn't have gpu yet https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/TMRh2m

Bq is fine enough under 750w

Wait the bq is vuugo

Ffs

Ok got it https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/v7zsMb

@j.#6910

Tf

Discord you suck

@high yew

Actually prolly worth dropping back down to 6600xt to get a 1tb ssd

Whatever the cheapest is between mp33, sn550, and sn570 pretty much

[broken lake]

Is having my cpu just exposed to air a bad thing?

[frank stirrup]

as in?

[broken lake]

Waiting for a part for my aio to come in and in the mean time it’s just there

Is that an issue?

[frank stirrup]

nah

[potent portal]

No? The clamshell case they come in isn't even airtight.

[frank stirrup]

just dont switch it on

its only a problem if you use your computer like that

[broken lake]

Ok just making sure

My computer isn’t together at all right now so there is no chance of me turning it on

Because with how my case is my aio has to be installed first

[potent portal]

Air isn't an issue for CPUs, the IHS is nickel plated so it doesn't rust or corrode

[broken lake]

Deepcool castle I wanna say

Now I have a cooler master master liquid

And this is coming at some point in the next 21 hours

[unique haven]

kachow

[formal plover]

Nah we rma'd the parts

[rich void]

Damn, sorry to hear that. I was worried that'd be necessary

[twin sedge]

Alr what are your thoughts, https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LXHDnt

[fossil cedar]

Memory is very expensive would pick better psu

[twin sedge]

Wdym by better psu, its A tier

[fossil cedar]

Its too expensive for a tier 650w

[twin sedge]

Can you give me a better one?

[fossil cedar]

Also consider the phanteks g360a

Yeah 1 sec

[twin sedge]

Whats the diff between the g360a and 4000d?

Bc the 360a is more expensive

[fossil cedar]

By 5$, but it comes with 3 rgb fans

[fossil cedar]

If not yeah I'd get that ram

[twin sedge]

Looks good

Thx

[fossil cedar]

Np

[twin sedge]

Im thinking of getting like a foot long led strip and attaching it to the bottom of my case to give it a nice under glow effect

Do you think i could just attach it via usb to the mobo?

[jagged ember]

yeah probably could

the logistics of how to do that though I can't think of

[twin sedge]

I mean you just stick it to the bottom and have the wire run up the back to one of the mobo usb ports

[fossil cedar]

Assuming it's a usb led strip sure

[twin sedge]

The mobo has just enough usb ports for everything

Perfect

[fossil cedar]

Btw consider this for 10$ more

@fossil cedar what abt this case

[fossil cedar]

It's okay although for 60$ my pick would usually be mx330 g air

[broken lake]

Ok I got my bracket

We are trying this once again

[earnest olive]

do

not

buy

3600mt/s

ram

with

locked

12th

gen

[earnest olive]

you too, stop it

[fossil cedar]

Oh yeah get the 3200c16 version of it for a few $ less

[broken lake]

Wonderful news

My case closes now

[fossil cedar]

Pog

[stoic island]

@earnest olive what's the problem w it on locked 12th gen?

I assumed smth like 3600c16 is fine although you might not be able to do 4000

[earnest olive]

the chance of running it in gear 1 is very low

[stoic island]

Really?

[earnest olive]

3200c22 will almost always outperform 3600c16

[stoic island]

I thought the imc was supposed to be good

[earnest olive]

in fact some samples cannot even do 3200g1

[stoic island]

What

How

[earnest olive]

but that's rare enough that we can still recommend 3200 over 3000

the IMC is good

the problem is that intel has artificially limited it this gen

[stoic island]

???

[earnest olive]

if you have non-k cpu your VCCSA is capped at less than 1 volt

even if you have z690

[stoic island]

What

Does it let you do 1v?

[fossil cedar]

What about b660 +k?

[earnest olive]

that works

[stoic island]

K sku should be fine

[earnest olive]

it's board dependent

you cannot change it from auto at all

[stoic island]

Bruh

[earnest olive]

board will auto set 0.89-0.98

mine sets 0.946

[fossil cedar]

It's wack
