frigid jackal
#

in the h510 case

shrewd charm
#

Ya probably for the best I'm going to buy that stuff you all suggested and get a longer better extension cord

mossy venture
#

Yeah the s12iii is a very bad psu

#

Like, catch fire bad

little osprey
#

NZXT moment

frigid jackal
#

damn lol

mossy venture
#

I would replace that asap

frigid jackal
#

but yeah my pc died for like 5 minutes and I just waited with it off

shrewd charm
#

lol ya I was warned off these too

dusty cedar
frigid jackal
#

honestly im not too sure if that's even the one in my pc anymore

mossy venture
#

I would check

frigid jackal
#

they reaplced it twice in thes pan of like 12 months

mossy venture
#

Bc if it is, replace it

sullen spoke
#

It's a Tier E on the list. Apparently lacking OCP

frigid jackal
#

for sure

#

kinda crazy I had this thing for 3 years lmfao

mossy venture
frigid jackal
#

glad it hasn't caught yet but I will rpelace it

mossy venture
#

What gpu and cpu does the pc have?

sullen spoke
mossy venture
#

I'm assuming low power so they haven't put a huge load on psu

frigid jackal
mossy venture
#

Yeah pretty low power usages, probably whole pc doesn't use over 250w at max load

frigid jackal
#

still gonna replace it

#

kinda crazy bc

#

they said they'd send an emal if something changed

#

and then they changed their entire line of prebuilts and never emailed me about it or the psu

sullen spoke
#

it's kinda funny to read some of the notes on f tier psus

mossy venture
mossy venture
frigid jackal
#

I'm poor asf but I could probably spend $150 maybe

#

that's if I don't get an upgrade for my ram or anything

mossy venture
#

I'll find you one well under that

#

Do you plan to upgrade gpu anytime soon?

frigid jackal
#

and I def think I can live comfortably without upgrading the ram

frigid jackal
#

it's held up with any gpu intensive games I've played

mossy venture
#

Kk then, one min

#

Oh one more question

frigid jackal
#

yea

mossy venture
#

Would you be able to sell the sticks of ram you have?

frigid jackal
#

yeah

mossy venture
#

If not you'd have to check compatibility between that kit and any kit you buy

#

Ok one sec

frigid jackal
#

I've sold a couple of stuff on craigslist before

#

or the other one

#

I forgot

little osprey
#

What’s the most I should be paying for a used 3070 Ti?

mossy venture
frigid jackal
#

oh dang lol

frigid jackal
#

only $100?

mossy venture
#

Imo

mossy venture
frigid jackal
#

ok wait idk cause I don't think you've seen the rest of my build maybe

#

this

mossy venture
#

?

frigid jackal
#

idk like may something isnt compatible with the motherboard

mossy venture
#

Yeah those two are a good fit

frigid jackal
#

oh bet

#

thank you

#

imma save that 🙏

mossy venture
#

Happy to

#

Make sure you change out all thr cables from thr old psu

frigid jackal
#

lol I thought it was gonna be like $200 to upgrade both because of amazon

mossy venture
#

They aren't interchangeable

#

(If they're both even modular or semi modular, I didn't check or know)

frigid jackal
#

oh lol alright

mossy venture
#

Ddr4 anyways

frigid jackal
#

ill double check or something

little osprey
# mossy venture 350

I’m seeing them around $360-$370, but unsure if the price is worth the performance in return

mossy venture
#

Modular is the most ideal one normally, but meh

#

To me it's irrelevant but others care to some extent

dusty cedar
#

modular is better. use only the cables you need. less case cable spaghetti

mossy venture
#

Yeah thats the main argument

#

For me I just don't care but I can definitely understand

dusty cedar
#

even with that being the case for cable managment. i just stuffed my cables wherever they would fit and not be seen and doesn't block airflow anyways so idc.

little osprey
#

@mossy venture, any major difference between these models?

dusty cedar
#

speakin of power issues people having today. here comes the lighting and thunder.

mossy venture
#

Alright its late, I'm out

#

G'night everyone

shrewd charm
#

@dusty cedar ok ill just search 10/3 extension cables on amazon

frigid night
verbal plover
#

Helped my friend build his first pc he got the Spider-Man 4070 ti we don’t know if it works yet 💀

verbal plover
#

It worked but it is now 12:01 am and I wake up in 5 hours for work PepeRealizes and I still gotta download drivers

dim forge
#

should I sell my 2060 and get a 6600?

desert gulch
#

Not a huge upgrade honestly

little osprey
#

Good list for the price?

runic spruce
#

I’d downgrade to a non ti then try getting cheaper ram

#

And also changing the psu to an enermax one

#

Or any other one, besides that it’s decent

little osprey
#

I really can't complain there

#

Also for the RAM like the cheapest it's gonna get is like $70 but I wanted the RGB

#

Another thing I'd not is if I got the non-Ti I'm pretty sure it'd age worse and lose it's value quicker

obsidian wigeon
#

enermax has no good psu this cheap rn

fossil cedar
little osprey
#

Well I went to check listings and non-OEM cards sit around $275 instead of $375 or whatever

#

Bro what happened here and why is it listed as still working

earnest olive
#

might be a rather extreme case of thermal pad oil

dusky hearth
#

Goddam that's like a whole bottle of oil

cyan ravine
#

I can't believe it's not butter

dusky hearth
dim forge
#

is this normal with stock cooler? weather temp is 33°C

#

on load it reaches like 75°C

dusky hearth
#

Pretty typical

#

75 is fairly cool still, thermal throttling is at 85c for amd or smth?

#

And like

#

90 for intel

dim forge
#

It's just that I moved from a very cold city to a hot one

#

and temps kinda raised a bit so I was worried

dusky hearth
#

You don't need to worry unless your temps are like 90 at idle

#

Or thermal throttling allt

wheat coral
#

my a tier modular 650w was 32$

little osprey
#

Wait FR?

#

Where?

dusky hearth
#

💀

little osprey
#

Wait wait wait

#

Oh wait it is modular

wheat coral
#

read

#

fully modular lmao

dusky hearth
#

💀

little osprey
#

You said it was an EVGA PSU right?

wheat coral
#

650 G2

little osprey
#

650W is enough for a 12600K and 3070 Ti?

#

And some RGB

wheat coral
#

probably

#

this psu handled a 500w 1080 so

desert gulch
wheat coral
#

for 32 dollas hell yeah

little osprey
#

I can't find a new one

wheat coral
#

uh just look around on ebay for a tier units lol

little osprey
#

I ain't gonna cheap out on the PSU of all things

wheat coral
#

its not cheaping out if the unit is still good lol

desert gulch
#

That's what you said when you bought the b5

wheat coral
#

yeah but the b5 was c tier

dusky hearth
#

Used psus are fine just as long as somebody didn't modify it

wheat coral
#

my g2 has warranty still

#

for another 3 years or something

#

and it got transferred to me

mossy venture
#

I ran a 6800xt pulling 310w on an rmx 650

little osprey
#

Ehh doesn’t matter much now since I can’t find the PSU

#

Thought it looks to be like a five year old model at this point though

mossy venture
#

I mean you don't need that specific psu

little osprey
#

We’ll they said it was cheap, A tier, and fully modular

little osprey
#

Hey I'm just now seeing this....

#

So how do I do this? In the BIOS right?

#

I don't mind the noise much since I have loud headphones.....as long as the temp stays lower then that's fine. Although since you bring that up, won't it heat something up since the fans will get loud?

mossy venture
stoic island
#

In the bios, different specific locations depending on board

stoic island
little osprey
#

But will it keep the PC cooler

stoic island
#

Yes

little osprey
#

perfect

little osprey
#

Also looking at the prices on eBay would you say a 3070 Ti or 3070 is better?

#

I’ve been thinking something like this

mortal rampart
#

do i need to uninstall anything on my boot drive if im switching motherboards and cpus?

jagged ember
#

You would need to do a clean install tbh

#

Or else you'll have stability issues and other issues having swapped to a new mobo and CPU

little osprey
mossy venture
#

Theyre near identical

#

And if you don't need nvidia, look at 6800/xt too

little osprey
#

Soooo, should I not be following this list?

mossy venture
#

The 3070 ti is better, sure

#

But by like 2%

little osprey
#

Hmmmm

mossy venture
#

Tbh personally I'd look for 3060 ti, 6700xt, 6750xt, 6800/xt

little osprey
#

Probably doesn't make the extra $50-$70 for a Ti version worth it

little osprey
mossy venture
#

Sure, especially if you're at 1080p

#

Im running 13600k and 3060 ti at 1440p at the moment

#

Will upgrade gpu whenever I feel the need to

little osprey
#

I wanna do 1440p sometime in the future

#

Unsure whenever that's gonna be

mossy venture
#

Might be able to find a $350-400 6800xt, that'll handle 1440p like a champ

#

Rivals the 3090 with the driver updates now in a good few titles

little osprey
#

I'm positive it'll beat my 5700 in 1080p

#

Are all 3060 Ti's dual fan?

mossy venture
#

No

#

Dual fan is fine on it tho

#

Same with 3070

#

Just not ventus 2x on 3070 imo

#

It'll be OK enough on 3060 ti, not ideal but it'll work

little osprey
#

This a reasonable price?

#

$280 and free shipping

mossy venture
#

$320 for a new 3060 ti so I'd aim for$250

little osprey
#

Will do

#

Cheapest I'm seeing that isn't OEM

mossy venture
#

Ventus 2x worst model, id say like$230 for that one

#

Do you need nvidia?

little osprey
#

50/50

#

I would really prefer it for my older games

#

Because on games like Metro: Last Night it just spasms out on AMD GPU's

mossy venture
#

Ah ok

#

Could also look at 2080 super and ti

little osprey
mossy venture
#

Just as long as any other gpu, I'd just avoid early revisions

#

A lot of the earlier ones had power issues I believe

little osprey
#

Alright I'll keep an eye out

#

And holy crap I just realized 2080 Ti is 3070 level

#

That's kinda cool

mossy venture
#

Yep it's nice

little osprey
#

Looks clean enough but I'm curious if I can find one cheaper

#

Yeah seems as cheap as I'm gonna get for a non-blower card

mossy venture
#

Idk, I would take a 3070 at that price over it

#

Oem 3080s might be within your price range

#

Will run hot but will obviously be better

little osprey
#

Lemmie go check that out RQ

#

3080 for $380?

#

Otherwise I'm thinking 2080 Super possibly

#

$250

mossy venture
little osprey
#

TBH yeah

#

Am I insane or is it supposed to look like this? (Top left)

#

Also would I be out of my mind running a 12600K and 2080 Super since the CPU is newer?

mossy venture
#

Nah

#

2080s=3060 ti

mossy venture
#

Google the model

little osprey
#

I guess so apparently

#

That's really weird

No need to "get" 11. It's a free upgrade from 10.

#

It'll be able to retrieve and upgrade your license from the activation troubleshooter once you install 11.

manic cloak
#

basically it has a grading selection and so from the looks of it, some kid prolly bit a chunk out of their GPU, sent it there and they're reselling it

little osprey
#

Yeah I read that section over

Apparently the card is supposed to look like that

#

Is it safe to buy Peladn GPUs? Never heard of them but they have cheap $120 5500xt.

obsidian wigeon
#

$120 for 5500xt is trash price lol

#

Peladn is fine

#

But don't pay $120 for a 5500xt

#

Because if you look at ebay for a moment, 5700xt goes for $100-120 these days

#

Used yes but these are prices from reputable sellers

potent portal
# mortal rampart but i didnt do a reinstall

Make sure to uninstall the old chipset drivers and install the new ones. And do benchmarks to make sure you're getting close to expected CPU performance. A common issue when platform changing is unexpectedly low scores.

#

If everything is working how it should and you get expected performance, then you're good to go.

#

It's generally "recommended" to do a reinstall, simply to avoid the potential of problems now or later.

potent portal

# unique rapids Is it safe to buy Peladn GPUs? Never heard of them but they have cheap $120 5500...

You can try bidding on this one, ends in 7 hours and I'd expect it to sell at a little over $100. Maybe less thanks to shipping.
Judging from the number of 5700 XT cards the guy sold he's probably a miner, but everyone is reporting that they work correctly.

But as far as reading what the others said it seems they’ve already helped you

It’s just supposed to be a gaming orientated build and having a GPU from 2019 and a CPU from 2021 seems weird

igpu gaming

#

@fossil cedar did i tell you

#

the highest cpu power draw i ever saw in gaming was in genshin

#

360 watts

#

it hit that in loading screen when i was testing igpu gaming

earnest olive
#

they must have optimized the loading extremely well or something? since igpu uses system memory as vram buffer

#

I guess it hit that from hammering the whole cpu to load data into ram

#

Are GPU custom loops hard?

#

This is $30 after the promo code

obsidian wigeon
#

you ain't even building a pc yet but you're getting waterblock

#

bruh

#

your build gonna keep getting expensive

little osprey
#

I haven’t ordered it or have no interest in it if it’s gonna be hard

#

Just looked a fun project

obsidian wigeon
#

It's probably not that hard, but it will add up fast

#

You'll have to get a rad, pump, reservoir, tubes, fittings and coolant

#

Min 400+

little osprey
#

Ouch

obsidian wigeon
#

That's excluding cost of paste and thermal pads for gpu

little osprey
#

Okay maybe not then

obsidian wigeon
#

Stick with air or aio pretty much

little osprey
#

I already got my air cooler

#

I still kinda want an AIO though

#

I would've bought the Liquid Freezer 240mm B-stock if it didn't sell out so fast at $50

obsidian wigeon
#

Probably limited quantity plus demand

#

b stocks are returns and stuff

#

Returns that are fixed ofc

little osprey
#

Well yeah

vague oracle
#

But actually building it, isn’t too difficult but there are a lot of headaches

#

Rad will be about $100-150, pump another 100, depending on the GPU 150-300, fittings 75, res 100, coolant 40, tubes 50, paste/pads 50

#

My loop both CPU and GPU ended up being around 1.5k in total

little osprey
#

JESUS CHRIST I COULD BUILD MY DREAM PC FOR THAT PRICE

paper summit
#

Just because u bought the highest end water cooling parts doesnt mean everyones is gonna cost as much as yours

vague oracle
#

I didn’t buy the highest end stuff tho

paper summit
#

Still

#

you can do it for much cheaper

vague oracle
#

Depends on the hardware, your biggest cost will be from the gpu waterblock

#

And a good pump will be around 75-100ish

manic cloak
#

in the end we know waterblocks are expensive asf

#

or well, custom water cooled stuff is.

Cyberpunk benchmark running a EVGA 3080 ti on Ray tracing: overdrive (including ray tracing and path tracing). temps are inaccurate for gpu, but more or less accurate for cpu. Not too bad overall imo 🙂

dusky hearth
# little osprey I still kinda want an AIO though

only reason why you would want custom loop is for specific applications (certain datacenter configurations, being able to pipe the heat to a different location, have the ability to have insane cooling capacity)

otherwise, air cooling is better in basically every other way; it's way more reliable

earnest olive
#

it's like a 3 byte download who cares if it's from the US

I just googled it and only see it talking about power limits

obsidian wigeon
#

It's a lot more than that

#

It shifted into this project

#

With all the goodies

earnest olive
#

interesting

potent portal
#

Will it work on my Turion

obsidian wigeon
earnest olive
#

so these cpus had this capability all along but amd was hiding it

#

shame, amd

obsidian wigeon
#

In this vid the guy used AATU to tune CO

#

High clocks lower temps

earnest olive
#

do any ryzen laptops allow ram oc

obsidian wigeon
#

Not sure

#

Probably not

#

Unless it's msi? I don't know

#

No one did it before

obsidian wigeon
potent portal
#

Darn

obsidian wigeon
#

Anything that has CO but hidden however is supported

#

Zen 2 and above, right?

potent portal
#

Right, zen+ didn't have CO

obsidian wigeon
#

ya

#

It's only Zen 2 and above

earnest olive
#

idk if I can go back to a laptop that doesn't allow ram oc

#

ram oc made a night and day difference on my current laptop

obsidian wigeon
#

I never experienced that

#

Going Ryzen is a benefit for me

earnest olive
#

some games tripled in performance

obsidian wigeon
#

I'm running haswell 4 core kekw

earnest olive
#

valorant went from 180 fps average to 520 fps average

obsidian wigeon
#

Zen 2 6 core is a godsend

#

And gives me something to mess with

leaden mauve
obsidian wigeon
#

But I have non e

leaden mauve
obsidian wigeon
#

It's laptop kekw

earnest olive
#

haswell-h

#

🗿

obsidian wigeon
#

I need an upgrade somehow

#

Which I see quite a few in my budget

#

Just couldn't spend yet

#

Oh all zen 2 and newer mobile cpus does support ocing with the program

#

But really? cpu ocing in a laptop?

#

Limited cooling capacity makes cpu ocing pointless, unless ofc you put lm on it

earnest olive
#

sorry I can't hear you over the sound of my all-core oced laptop drawing triple its tdp and making sparking sounds in cinebench

potent portal
obsidian wigeon
#

lmao

#

Imma use the laptop, not have it in freezer pepelmao

potent portal
#

Sit it right on a bag of ice then

obsidian wigeon
#

I aim to uv cpu with CO and gpu with afterburner

#

Because thailand has hot as hell climate

#

An average no rain non cold season day is 30-35c

#

So I'm already at high ambient temp

cyan ravine
#

You can't touch cpu on ryzen mobile

#

Pretty sure

potent portal
#

Normally you're right

cyan ravine
#

Wait what's different

obsidian wigeon
#

Normally yes, but now it's possible

potent portal
obsidian wigeon
#

Scroll up a lil smh

cyan ravine
#

Oh wtf

#

I should try that

obsidian wigeon
#

Might need to uninstall armoury crate or stuff that messes with power limits

#

Could clash with the program

potent portal
#

I mean, you should uninstall armoury crate anyway

obsidian wigeon
#

ya

#

Bloaty crappy software

#

Openrgb better

#

I wonder tho does openrgb even work on laptops?

#

No like the laptops I could get in my budget has rgb anyway

#

They have fixed color backlight

potent portal
#

Probably does if it has rgb

cyan ravine
#

Armoury crate is unironically good on laptops

#

It just sucks big time on desktop

obsidian wigeon
#

Hmm

#

Still I suggest removing it once you're using this program

cyan ravine
#

Cos armoury crate has two neat benefits on laptop

#

#1 dedicated button

obsidian wigeon
#

It can clash with cpu profile settings

cyan ravine
#

#2 power limit and gpu tweak integrated

obsidian wigeon
#

Not will but has a chance to

cyan ravine
#

It makes mux switching dead easy on mine

#

So I kinda want it there

#

If I had another way to switch as easy as that then I would tbh

obsidian wigeon
#

rip

cyan ravine
#

Like I could run, heh, "optimised" (let's the computer decide when to switch) but then I can't guarantee the same performance since the iGPU isn't locked on

obsidian wigeon
#

I'm getting laptops that has useless control softwares lmao

#

So it doesn't concern me

cyan ravine
#

I mean 4600H shouldn't matter much with OC

obsidian wigeon
#

All tufs with 1650 available here has 10300H or 3550H PepeRealizes

#

Yeah, I just want to uv it with CO

cyan ravine
#

If you have it on a stand, it'll run as fast as it can under tjmax

obsidian wigeon
#

Get the lowest temps

cyan ravine
#

It's already blazing fast

#

And not gross power

obsidian wigeon
#

ye I just wanna squeeze it as much as I can

#

Same clocks, less volts

tough shell
#

Fps kinda meh, but considering pretty much everything is maxed out, no OC and no path tracing, I’ll take it. Nice temps too! Used to run 85c on gpu temps on old case.

obsidian wigeon
#

Why no dlss?

tough shell
#

Cant have XeSS with DLSS apparently

obsidian wigeon
#

Well they can't mix

tough shell
#

Does dlss give better perf?

obsidian wigeon
#

Yes

#

And you have nvidia gpu

#

Might as well utilize it

tough shell
#

Yeah but cant do frame generation

obsidian wigeon
#

Likely looks better too

tough shell
#

Can do super resolution tho

obsidian wigeon
#

ya that's 40 series thing

tough shell
#

👍🏻

#

Lets run dis again

obsidian wigeon
#

Maybe have dlaa on too, combo for max clarity

cyan ravine
#

Dlss on cp looks fine

obsidian wigeon
#

It's one of the prime dlss selling games anyway

tough shell
#

Do you know, theres path tracing but the game says its only 4070 or 3090. Why is it selectable for my 3080ti? Does it do anything?

obsidian wigeon
#

Slow as heck on 30 series gpus

#

Simply lacks the rt cores

#

Well the newest rt cores anyway

tough shell
obsidian wigeon
#

The fps would tank into single dogits

obsidian wigeon
#

see it got faster

tough shell
#

Yeh

#

Even with path tracing on

#

Xd

obsidian wigeon
#

ye

#

dlss is sick when you can use it

tough shell
#

Also cant have dlaa and dlss on together ig

#

On cyberpunk

obsidian wigeon
#

Probably by design

#

DLSS already does everything DLAA does and more

#

DLAA is simply for when you don't want DLSS

#

But want a part of its feature set

#

idk why it even exists

tough shell
#

Whats the difference? Also now I try with quality preset over ultra performance dlss

obsidian wigeon
#

Quality dlss tries to preserve native quality

#

Perf increase won't be as big

tough shell
#

20fps with path tracing and quality preset on kekw

obsidian wigeon
#

Called it pepelmao

earnest olive
#

you should see my 1660ti path tracing

obsidian wigeon
#

How did dlss on ultra quality look btw?

#

Compared to the fps increase is it worth it to run ultra quality dlss with all the rt eye candies on

tough shell
#

Was too jittery to notice, running it again without path tracing

#

Also there is no ultra quality xd

#

Only ultra perf

obsidian wigeon
#

Sorry

tough shell
#

Idk why lol

obsidian wigeon
#

Ultra perf lol

#

My brain broke

tough shell
#

Xd

obsidian wigeon
#

1.36 FPS kekw

tough shell
#

Playable

earnest olive
#

@tawny fiber can I have your old outdated 3080ti

#

it's trash anyways right you don't need it anymore

#

I'll help you throw it away

obsidian wigeon
#

away into your pc

earnest olive
#

shhh

tough shell
#

Kills me how you have an old gpu but new cpu haha

obsidian wigeon
#

He had 3090 but sold it

#

Playing genshin does this to an mf

earnest olive
#

I had a 3090 and my most played games on steam were...

tough shell
earnest olive
#

an 8 year old console port (yakuza 0) and a 2d pixel art game (stardew valley)

tawny fiber
#

Selling my 2080ti for 700 helped pay for this gpu

earnest olive
#

nah I don't spend money on genshin

earnest olive
#

you can get 700 for a 2080ti over there???

obsidian wigeon
#

yep

earnest olive
#

the used market is that bad?

#

they're 300 here

tough shell
#

Stardew valley is fun but I dont play it solo like most games

obsidian wigeon
#

But 2080ti here only gets me like 300 here

tawny fiber
#

Yes

earnest olive
#

oh definitely lol I do not play stardew alone

obsidian wigeon
#

Thailand's used market is honestly good and bad at the same time

#

Good for me when I buy

tough shell
#

I cri remembering that I paid $2250 CAD for my 3080ti

obsidian wigeon
#

Bad for when I sell

tough shell
obsidian wigeon
#

I had to sell my 1660s pc for $405

#

cri

tawny fiber
#

There are 2080tis for 450 if you try hard enough here but the the guy paying 700 seemed desperate

cyan ravine
#

Speaking of used gpus I landed a 6900XT for 350

obsidian wigeon
#

nice

#

Destroys 4090 on Siemens NX stonks1

cyan ravine
#

Ya seller took a while but finally they shipped

#

Nitro+

obsidian wigeon
#

ooo

cyan ravine
#

Ya, a good one

obsidian wigeon
#

gud

cyan ravine
obsidian wigeon
#

Good but not bess

#

OCF bess

#

jk $350 for nitro+ is a steal still

earnest olive
#

so what are you gonna do with the 3080ti safi? you need help throwing it away?

cyan ravine
tawny fiber
#

Backup if something God forbid happens to this gpu

obsidian wigeon
#

CF still a thing?

tough shell
#

Nice HYPERS @obsidian wigeon

obsidian wigeon
#

60 at last

tough shell
#

Heh

cyan ravine
tough shell
#

Is there any other games that have built in benches?

#

Nice temps at last too

#

Love this new setup

obsidian wigeon
#

Temps basically matches fps

tough shell
#

My temps used to be 1.5-1.8x my fps

#

So

#

(In old phanteks p300 case)

tawny fiber
#

Is that a 4k monitor or are you using some sort of dsr

tough shell
#

Its 4k, but I cant set resolution to 4k otherwise I only get a 30hz refresh rate

#

So its set to 3840x2160 (native)

cyan ravine
#

That's 4k

tough shell
#

Oh

cyan ravine
#

💀

obsidian wigeon
#

ya

#

2160p = 4k

cyan ravine
#

I'm glad you see the numbers for what they are tho

#

Yes, tv's also have 4120p or whatever

obsidian wigeon
#

the k's are just stupid marketing names

cyan ravine
#

1920x1080 is 2k, 2560x1440 is 2.5k

tough shell
#

Then whats the 4k x 2k for?

cyan ravine
#

Oh I have that monitor

#

LOL

tough shell
#

XD

cyan ravine
#

Yeah that one you selected is right, don't worry about the other ones

#

Funny EDID numbers

tough shell
#

Im hoping to get matching 4k 144hz monitors once I get a job kekw

obsidian wigeon
#

My phone runs 1440p but it can play 2160p videos

tough shell
#

Burn some of that adult money

obsidian wigeon
#

Just at 30 fps

earnest olive
obsidian wigeon
#

Anything lower is 60

cyan ravine
#

I used to use the U28E590 for xbox games

#

Man that was aaagggeeessss ago

obsidian wigeon
#

I gave up on salad tbh

tough shell
cyan ravine
#

You should update monitor man

obsidian wigeon
#

U28E

cyan ravine
#

Go with a nice 1440p like a G27Q

obsidian wigeon
#

Old monitor indeed

tough shell
obsidian wigeon
#

ya a modern 1440p would be nice tbh

cyan ravine
#

Ya, that sounds about right

tough shell
#

The ultrawide was $60 from a friend lmao

obsidian wigeon
#

fps boost too

tough shell
#

But so aids not having the same size monitor ngl

earnest olive
#

I want a fruit salad rn tbh

obsidian wigeon
#

How about cucumber salad

earnest olive
#

really want some pineapple, mango, apple, and strawberry rn

#

maybe some pears

tough shell
earnest olive
#

broccoli salad is nice

tough shell
#

Yee

#

Also, what IS salad on your pc? XD

#

Is it for stress testing

obsidian wigeon
#

Workloads that pays you back in balance

#

Can be traded for many things including virtual visas

#

They pay at a fixed rate

#

No fluctuations

potent portal
#

It's like crypto mining but better

#

Because mining sucks now

obsidian wigeon
#

Well it fluctuates sometimes if you don't have good hardware

#

Because workloads gets assigned to others

tough shell
#

Is it worth doing if I leave my pc on when away? Or does it put a lot of load on it?

#

And do I need a crypto wallet for it?

fossil cedar
potent portal
#

But you'd lose less money than mining still

cyan ravine
#

I'd like a pato salad

Ig if I find a place with power included in rent

#

Ill do it

#

Lol

potent portal

If you have solar and still have capacity to spare maybe

obsidian wigeon
#

I get what

earnest olive
#

if it can buy you lunch once a week it's not bad

obsidian wigeon
#

0.05 usd per day

earnest olive
#

if you have to pay for power it's probably not gonna be profitable

tough shell
earnest olive
#

damn i ran a 3080 for 1 week and got $14

obsidian wigeon
#

It got me to a point where I decided to sell it

tough shell
potent portal
earnest olive
#

well your parents are gonna be paying for power

obsidian wigeon
#

ye ofc

#

Just not worth it for me anymore

#

So I sold the rig

earnest olive
#

we have solar so we legit just don't pay for power

obsidian wigeon
#

Be done with it

earnest olive
tough shell
fossil cedar
#

You'd be better off just asking your parents directly for like 5$ a week instead of stealing their power

tough shell
#

B)

earnest olive
#

like even if he lives at home and doesn't have to pay for power it's still his parents paying for it

obsidian wigeon
#

I was replying to falcie lol

earnest olive
#

oh lol

tough shell
#

Yeah not actually gunna do it lmao

#

But like I said if I can go find a rental that has power included

#

Then fosho gunna

earnest olive
obsidian wigeon
#

Hey it's better deal

earnest olive
#

you also need to consider whether or not you can do it at low fan speeds

#

cause replacing gpu fans is not free

tough shell
#

I remember hearing about that

obsidian wigeon
#

I never had to replace my gpu fan tho

#

Ran a one fan 1660s for 3 years straight

#

No fan issues

#

Well I do have a fan problem but it's apparently from me cleaning it

#

idk how

potent portal
#

Dust in the bearing maybe

obsidian wigeon
#

Maybe

tough shell
#

Wallpaper engine best steam app

obsidian wigeon
#

Must be dust getting into it

#

It gets different every time I dust it out

tough shell
#

Also @potent portal nearly hit 41k hrs on my hdd now kekw

#

Only 50 off

obsidian wigeon
#

One time was a pretty rough sound

#

Last time I cleaned it sounds like a whizz

#

Cleaned it two days before I sold it

tough shell

Also idk what happened but my crashing pc is a non issue now

My sata ssd nearly at 46k and 87% drive health

Speaking of storage just mine chia stonks1

obsidian wigeon
#

I don't have good enough storage for chia

tough shell
#

Cant believe that new ssd’s are rated for 1 million operating hrs. Insane stuff

obsidian wigeon
#

1tb hdd and 120gb ssd is all I got pepecry

tough shell
#

Is chia worth anything?

fossil cedar
#

Lol basically not

tough shell
#

Lets do it

fossil cedar
#

It was a joke

potent portal
#

Not worth having to replace hard drives frequently lol

obsidian wigeon
#

ye

#

And it barely has any worth anyway

tough shell
obsidian wigeon
#

The chia currency

potent portal
#

Chia single handedly made hard drive and ssd prices explode

tough shell

Imagine making malware and installing it on your highschool pcs back in higschool in order to farm chia

Make them payyyy

If anything I would have set up all our practice networking hardware to mine something. There was at least one server and one switch for everyone, lined up on racks. You had to wear ear protection during lab.

the power cycle on this CPU actually quicker I noticed

i still run 16gb in my laptop even

and i can run stuff like path traced cyberpunk without any issues whatsoever

it doesn't make sense to me that your stuff just crashes with 16gb

All I can say is I'd get crashes in a few games. Errors would usually say out of VRAM oddly enough, but it wasn't anywhere near full.

#

Now I have 32gb and no more crash

Couldn't tell you why

this laptop is actually my main machine if i want to do AAA gaming now

it's easier honestly

It may be me but I'm genuinely confused as to why my ethernet just stops working after boot does anyone know what this is?

earnest olive

go to device manager

find your ethernet adapter

see if it is reporting an error code

#

on windows 10/11, you can right click the start button to bring up a menu, device manager will be in there

#

example

sacred gale
#

It says the controller is working properly

earnest olive
#

interesting

sacred gale
#

It's a brand new cord Aswell

earnest olive
#

try reinstalling drivers maybe

sacred gale
#

Even bought a new one for my series x and that one just won't turn on at all

#

My router is working ethernet is connected to 2 other systems in my house and they all work fine

For some reason my Lan for my pc will work but not when it's turned on, and the one connected to my xbox just won't turn on at all

How would I go about reinstalling the driver then?

might be a wider issue with your network provider if it doesn't work with your xbox
