[plucky timber]

my old phone was a poco f2 pro with crdroid

actually pretty similar to my current pixel 6 rom

still salty I had to switch phones

practically same performance

still had several years of life left in it

[potent portal]

AOSP images are literally unusable now, they don't include a lot of critical functions like a text or phone app, since the manufacturer or carrier are expected to add their own.

[plucky timber]

I like crdroid

it's lightweight and got a lot of features

[odd venture]

hold on let me rotate that image

don't think i shared my cable management of the last build I did, what do you think @potent portal did I do alright lol

[potent portal]

Could be a little tighter in some places but not bad at all overall

[cyan ravine]

Like how flat those shift cables are but also they charge all that extra and no sleeves

😔

[mossy lion]

so ran it again, and it closed on me after 10 minutes this time. I did close everything, but the one thing i can't close is steam client helper

but no errors again

not sure if i should it again

[odd venture]

Hey @.falcie What kind of memory are you running, DDR5 or what? (MHz) and do you have a aida64 benchmark? I just benched mine and I'm looking to compare results, not sure how decent this is.

[potent portal]

Let's try a different test then. Start this, tell it to load config, point it at the anta777 extreme profile, let it auto close itself, and open it again. This test will run until it's done and can take several hours. Best done overnight.

[mossy lion]

i think i might try this over the weekend to be honest

[mossy lion]

i did try a couple things like opening and close chrome and other apps and everything seems to work fine no crashes as i had with the cosair ram

[potent portal]

Honestly the best stability test is going to be normal use anyway. I don't usually recommend doing these tests unless you're actively having problems or doing serious overclocking.

[mossy lion]

then i will take your word for it

as always thank you for your help 🙂

[potent portal]

Your results suggest you'd benefit from some secondary timing tuning

But it's also possible that the 14100 is holding you back a bit

[cyan ravine]

What GPU

[odd venture]

gtx 980

not sure if my gpu would limit my memory though?

[cyan ravine]

That shouldn't be limited

Unless you play like really modern titles

[potent portal]

I think he was more worried about the CPU limiting the GPU

[cyan ravine]

Some titles are really cpu heavy now

[odd venture]

yeah, nah just war thunder

[cyan ravine]

Uh

[plucky timber]

war thunder runs on my haswell intel hd toaster

[cyan ravine]

Yeah maybe tbh

[odd venture]

i have it on max settings and get like 20 to 30 fps

it's not terrible

could be better

[cyan ravine]

CPU wise you need at least 1 good thread but if the install is bloated

[plucky timber]

yeah that's the problem

[odd venture]

13900 should sort it

[plucky timber]

why are you running war thunder at max settings

it's like GTA V

[cyan ravine]

Ya run like medium lol

[plucky timber]

diminishing returns

[odd venture]

i can play it on max settings

and it looks great

[plucky timber]

at 30fps?

[odd venture]

22 even

it doesn't bother me

who needs 60fps

[potent portal]

It sounds like you're used to consoles

[odd venture]

i'm insensitive to flicker fusion rates

[plucky timber]

doesn't affect your response time at all?

[odd venture]

i don't console game

[odd venture]

it does, but i'm getting blown up anyway

[cyan ravine]

In a game where reaction time is everything you'll definitely improve a lot from 22fps

[plucky timber]

I mean I'm usually fine with 30fps but that's only in singleplayer games

I usually crank settings down for multiplayer games

[cyan ravine]

144 would be revolutionary lol

[odd venture]

Yeah, well, i'm sacrificing graphical quality for reaction time. The fire looks nice too

[plucky timber]

maybe he plays naval

[potent portal]

lol yeah fps doesn't matter much when it takes 15 seconds for the shell to land

[odd venture]

i was getting like 30 to 50 fps oddly

before they limited ray tracing to newer cards

I had everything on max even

[cyan ravine]

Well yeah

[plucky timber]

ground arcade I see

[odd venture]

it's realistic

not arcade.

[cyan ravine]

Your gpu can't do RT at all

[odd venture]

That's a replay.

[plucky timber]

oh

[potent portal]

*hardware rt

[plucky timber]

actually

I do have another theory

could it be that maxwell drivers are out of support?

[cyan ravine]

Pascal was the first software implement

[odd venture]

I actually do worse in arcade battles because everyone can see where I'm at lol.

[plucky timber]

war thunder is an old game tho but still

[cyan ravine]

They just moved to DX12

[odd venture]

well i had it on dx12 and ray tracing enabled

idk if it was working or not

[cyan ravine]

His fps isn't unrealistic he just yeeted settings cos he could

RT won't turn on

[plucky timber]

If it did it would crash

[cyan ravine]

It's specifically locked on WT if you don't have an RTX card

[odd venture]

Yes but what i just said earlier.

[cyan ravine]

Like they have a software detection

[potent portal]

Yes but that's still not the first thing you could consider "ray tracing," that's just the first real time ray tracing

[odd venture]

It used to be unlocked.

They updated and locked it.

[plucky timber]

Maybe it didn't do anything

[odd venture]

maybe

[cyan ravine]

Cos your gpu can't run it whatsoever so they just locked only the ones that aren't ready/made for it out

[odd venture]

makes sense

[cyan ravine]

Even RX 7000 can't use it yet

[plucky timber]

If it was running using software you'd see a massive fps dip

[cyan ravine]

Not just a dip lmfao

A crash

[odd venture]

sounds accurate

[cyan ravine]

It can't run it whatsoever

[odd venture]

i thought i hit silicone lottery

was working fine

[plucky timber]

On a Maxwell?

[cyan ravine]

Nah it would've just been playing as if nothing was happening

So the toggle didn't do anything essentially

[plucky timber]

I mean you can have the best silicon in the world and it'll still be a maxwell gpu

[cyan ravine]

[potent portal]

Lottery only matters when you're overclocking tbh

[cyan ravine]

I think your limiter is your settings lad

You should look up optimised settings

[plucky timber]

It's like GTA V

Cranking up settings to max is diminishing returns

Barely looks better but fps takes a nosedive

[cyan ravine]

It's quite easy to run near max btw you just need to turn down the settings that make actual impact

So particle and fire physics, grass distance and tree distance, are the main ones

Reflections to a degree

Small object shadows particularly

It looks pretty much the same if you do it well enough

[plucky timber]

I run war thunder at 60fps with my zen 3 igpu

[cyan ravine]

The real kickers are particle and fire

Like

By far

Those two have the biggest impact

[odd venture]

my timings at the moment, 2N Command Rate,

tCL 34
tRCD 42
tRP 42
tRAS 84
6600 MHz

[potent portal]

Turning on FSR would probably do a fair bit for you

[odd venture]

my tRAS is like twice as long as yours

hmm

I wonder if that can be lowered, and how much difference it would make.

[cyan ravine]

Somewhat, XeSS is better in that game, or TSR if supported

[potent portal]

Yeah that's the primary timings, they don't matter much on DDR5

[plucky timber]

1920x1080 high settings

[cyan ravine]

You guys have probably realised by now I know a WT fanatic

[plucky timber]

Runs amazing on a radeon igpu

[plucky timber]

Do you play navy

[cyan ravine]

I barely play at all

Mainly testing

[odd venture]

i play for a month, and then stop playing for a month, it's a cycle for me personally.

[cyan ravine]

I know someone who plays daily tho

[plucky timber]

I play navy

[cyan ravine]

So very in tune with the way the game works

[potent portal]

I tried playing realistic with planes one time and one time only. Never again. It's a nightmare with nothing but a keyboard and mouse, because fine rudder control is impossible.

[cyan ravine]

Indeed

Joystick recommended or controller

Lol

HOTAS if you're a fanatic

[plucky timber]

I'm crap at dogfighting with a joystick

so I just stick to mouse and keyboard

I'm crap at flying in general tbh

can't land an a320 properly

[cyan ravine]

Joystick is a very weird feeling

[potent portal]

I would love having hotas. I'd play the hell out of flight sim with that.

[odd venture]

That one time my shot got blocked by another tanks barrel entering the frame

[plucky timber]

I should get into vr flight sim again

just fly around a day

[cyan ravine]

If I catch wind of any of my US mates selling theirs I'll lyk

[plucky timber]

but then I would have to install windows...

sigh

[potent portal]

Nah I'm broke rn

[cyan ravine]

That's the only weird thing about WT imo. shots have a strange tendency to hit barrels

[potent portal]

At least until I move out of this state

[odd venture]

literally had aim on another tank and the barrel of another tank entered the frame like at the most awful timing

[cyan ravine]

Ye but like the game in general

You can hit the barrel of tanks very easily

It's odd

[odd venture]

idk what you mean by that, if you aim at them, yeah?

[plucky timber]

I love getting sniped by a russian death fridge

[odd venture]

the collision model seems fine?

[potent portal]

The barrel height is similar on a lot of tanks so if you're aiming level it's pretty likely if there's one in the way

[cyan ravine]

No, not aiming at them

The hitboxes seem strange

It happens really often

[odd venture]

hm maybe

[cyan ravine]

You aim for the breach, you hit the barrel

It's odd

[odd venture]

it's still a good simulator, but lots of improvements for gaijin to continue adding for sure

[plucky timber]

fragmentation?

lag?

[cyan ravine]

Yes not denying it's good

Just unusual

[odd venture]

the damage models aren't 100% accurate either, like i've taken shots before that for sure would be sudden death irl

but its decent

[cyan ravine]

I get the feeling it's some P2P handshake thing, because it can happen even when you're not aiming for it

Ye it's good anyway

[plucky timber]

probably is

especially with naval

the stupid p2w american ships are aimbots

[cyan ravine]

Just doesn't feel full real

[odd venture]

i don't like playing naval

gettings boring

[plucky timber]

naval is way too pay to win

[potent portal]

Considering these main gun rounds are generally VERY large and explode on contact, just grazing the barrel would often be enough to set it off

[cyan ravine]

Either way, not my type of game, I like cars instead lmao

[odd venture]

they should add submarines

that would be interesting.

[cyan ravine]

If only but that's not what I see

[odd venture]

and also a programming nightmare probably.

[cyan ravine]

Lol

You can ricochet off of angled panels but you always destroy a barrel regardless of angle

It's just

Weird

Lol

[odd venture]

i don't always destroy a barrel, especially with weaker penetration shells

[cyan ravine]

Ok most of the time

[odd venture]

anything above rank vii i would imagine is more balanced

[cyan ravine]

It's very uncommon at least from what I observe

[odd venture]

like the last tier everything is like 480mm penetration

[cyan ravine]

Ye

And yet still lucky bounces

Again I think it's good, just the frequency for barrel damage seems amazingly inconsistent

It's not my type of game to play anyway

[stoic island]

it's just a matter of having good FCS lol

the premium ones just tend to have the good versions

[cyan ravine]

Ohp the resident WT boi arrived

[stoic island]

but it's also on some of the tech tree ones

[stoic island]

ahahahaha no

[plucky timber]

Germany?

[stoic island]

currently on wt lmao

was looking at bomb loadouts for top tier air

[odd venture]

i turned build-chat in to wt-chat my bad

[plucky timber]

I like to play Kriegsmarine

[cyan ravine]

Ur fine

We're casual here

I prefer it

[potent portal]

I think the highest I got was 5th tier tank? And then I ran out of money so I couldn't repair anything

[cyan ravine]

So full disclosure, my dad is a WT nutcase

I got him hooked on PC about 2 years ago, he's ridiculous at it

[odd venture]

i think they might have reduced the repair costs

[cyan ravine]

He's always calling me to come over and fix up issues lol

[odd venture]

i had the same issue

and stopped for awhile, came back and it was fine

[cyan ravine]

He often gets top score tho

He's insane

[odd venture]

so either i got better, or they lowered the costs

[stoic island]

I have abused the american premium ships a good bit lol

They lowered the costs by a ton

[odd venture]

i'm either top 6 or last place

[cyan ravine]

He either gets 1st or like 5th-7th

Lol

He has no middle ground

[odd venture]

i'm just impatient and have a play style that would kill me irl

[stoic island]

I still remember mig19pt being 20k sl repair costs, down to like 12k now, they also added the repair costs being lower if you don't stay alive long

[odd venture]

lmao

[cyan ravine]

He's favourite thing is to grab one of those light shield, heavy pen tanks

Sneak around the back

[odd venture]

i hate starting with the slower tanks

[cyan ravine]

Absolutely destroy everyone

[odd venture]

they need nitrous or something

[cyan ravine]

He's insanely good tho and he's 65

Lmfao

[stoic island]

WT is a lot less about mechanics and more about knowledge for most of the brs

[cyan ravine]

Oh yeah, knowledge is power for sure

[stoic island]

before top tier ground that is

[potent portal]

I find it funny that one of the reasons tanks don't have nitrous is quoted as "safety concerns" when there's racks of live ammunition next to you already

[stoic island]

top tier ground is like playing a fps

[odd venture]

not just that but it wouldn't be very effective

it would just lead to more heat / stress on the engine, and no speed

i do like the idea though.

[odd venture]

in soviet tanks it's underneath you

[cyan ravine]

The ammo related deaths are hilarious to me

The top flying off like a rocket

[potent portal]

Sure but a little extra torque in second gear to climb that hill faster than the other guy would be nice

[odd venture]

thats what the turbodiesel is supposed to do

it would be nice though

[cyan ravine]

Needs the need for speed nitro effects

https://tenor.com/view/nfs-nfs-unbound-need-for-speed-need-for-speed-unbound-asap-gif-26872882

[potent portal]

Psssshhhhh (lights around you blur for no reason)

[stoic island]

Tanks generally aren't designed to be driving at the speeds that you see in war thunder tbf

[odd venture]

i've been playing the JPz 4-5 lately, it's fast and lethal

[cyan ravine]

raketenautomat abuse soon

[odd venture]

that's what i'm researching right now!

i'm trying to get it!

LOL

i have until like jan 15th or something to get it, otherwise i have to research the latest new vehicle they just added which is like 120,000 research points if i don't unlock it by that deadline

[stoic island]

that thing is kinda really good

[stoic island]

they nerfed the pzh2000 even more after the dev server lol

it was 6s aced on dev server

it's 10s aced now

oh hey it got changed to autoloader while I wasn't looking

[odd venture]

i take it it's good?

[stoic island]

still worse than the actual reload

actual sustained is supposed to be 10rpm, 6s per round

[golden quartz]

I have a Cooler Master COSMOS II RC 1200. What would be a good Motherboard for this case?

[potent portal]

Any standard motherboard size from ITX to SSI-EEB fits in there. Nothing special is required.

This includes ITX, mATX, ATX, "EATX", SSI-CEB, and SSI-EEB. Probably a few others I forgot.

[golden quartz]

I might as well get a XL-ATX Motherboard.

[potent portal]

If it has any extra features you might use over a cheaper one, sure

[fallow knot]

Guys I’m lost

Do I remove the black sticker on the crucial?

Welp nvm problem answered my friend told me to just put it away and leave the film on the heat sink I’m holding

[cyan ravine]

Hi lost I'm Felix

[fallow knot]

Well played

[cyan ravine]

Played is not here only Felix

[fallow knot]

So do I use the thermal right paste that came with the fan or do I use the noctua paste that I bought :/

[cyan ravine]

If it's NT-H2, the noctua

Otherwise the stock stuff is probably better unless this "fan" isn't very good

[fallow knot]

Err the air cooler I’m using is the peerless assassin 120 and it came with the TF7

But I do got the NT-H2

Guess I’ll just use the Noctua one and the rest as toothpaste

[mossy lion]

So I turned on my PC before going to work to test it out. Work fine for a bit. Play some games before I left it closed on me. At the same all three of my monitors turn off. As well my PC was trying to download windows 11. A repair version, and a new update. Not sure it if would be best to switch back to my old ram at this point. Any advice would be greatly appreciate it

[analog hearth]

My poor gf and her 12100F 💀

BRUH 😭

[cyan ravine]

Everyone complaining about 8gb vram and forgetting 4 core cpus still exist

[analog hearth]

💀

I wish AMD would be entry-level 6c/6t CPUs. Yeah it wouldn't be much different from 4c/8t but I still want that push towards the "more cores" that they advertised back in the day

[cyan ravine]

They keep putting it off

But the scaling for cpus now is spiralling fast

[analog hearth]

I'm still surprised that my gf's PC can run COD at nearly 180fps

It sits around 90% but it can do it 💀

[cyan ravine]

Oh yeah if the multithreading works well you're balling

But those i3's are VERY short lived

[analog hearth]

lmao yep

Her whole computer is basically what I was planning to use as my HTPC. I never continuously used it. I went around a month without even turning it on. So I just gave it to her

I should put the specs in the myspecs link in my bio lol

[cyan ravine]

Time to give her 13700k

[analog hearth]

lol nahhh

My friend is upgrading his PC and he's going to sell me his parts for $400 total (insane deal given that it's a 6800 XT, 5900X, an Asus ROG Crosshair, and 64GB of memory)

[cyan ravine]

Wtf

Does he have an itx

[analog hearth]

lol no

[cyan ravine]

👀

Damn

[analog hearth]

ATX

[cyan ravine]

I want an itx

[analog hearth]

Same fr

or even just MFF (what I'm somewhat planning with my Intel build)

[cyan ravine]

Mff is great

It's given me the sff bug

I've been lurking for an itx board the last couple weeks

[analog hearth]

SFF is too non-functional for me. My gf's PC is an SFF PC, so now she's getting a whole ATX build so it's easier to upgrade her next time lol

[cyan ravine]

Wait she has an itx board?

[analog hearth]

lol yeah

[cyan ravine]

Is it gud

[analog hearth]

Cheap one

It's an Asus board

[cyan ravine]

Tell

[analog hearth]

Forgot which one lol

[cyan ravine]

Wait

Dm

[analog hearth]

wait I have the box

[rain carbon]

shoot id swap you my asrock a620i if you have a good swap lol

its like 3 months old

[cyan ravine]

WHO PINGS ABT

Oh

Ooo

[rain carbon]

insane lmao

[cyan ravine]

Add meh

on what

o

[cyan ravine]

Dm

[rain carbon]

im talented

[cyan ravine]

Sir your profile blurb offends me

I like it

[rain carbon]

my profile blurb is sophisticated

[rain carbon]

@cyan ravine sorry to ping you again lol, but i assume theres a thread somewhere here on how to actually do the 650 bios swap?

[cyan ravine]

Yes

You need to find a guy named "Coffee"

He lurks overclocking servers and websites

[rain carbon]

ah yeah ive seen him

[cyan ravine]

He made the bios basically

[rain carbon]

oh shoot

[cyan ravine]

Tell him felix finally found a guy after a few months lol

[rain carbon]

where exactly should i get his attention? 💀

[cyan ravine]

Ping him anywhere

[rain carbon]

write a dark sigil and light some candles

[cyan ravine]

Yeah man

☠️

[rain carbon]

hes here right

[cyan ravine]

I don't think so

I used to see him in r/oc

[rain carbon]

oh, different coffee then

[cyan ravine]

I haven't been there for a while tho

That server is not a good place to learn these days

[rain carbon]

is there a discord you know hes on

[cyan ravine]

if any, r/oc

[rain carbon]

oh thats the discord

lol

[cyan ravine]

If he's there you can ping him for it

Ye

[rain carbon]

alrighty, appreciate the heads up

[cyan ravine]

Np

Take a backup of a separate bios when you do it tho, just in case

[rain carbon]

for sure

[cyan ravine]

I doubt it will fail but just in case

[rain carbon]

idk how to back up bios tho so

[cyan ravine]

[rain carbon]

im just exceptional like that

[cyan ravine]

Just download off website

[rain carbon]

google my friend

[cyan ravine]

Ya

[rain carbon]

what if i ping the wrong coffee 😨

[cyan ravine]

He'll probably say "what"

Who cares about other coffees

Ping them all

[rain carbon]

💀

i found an overclock server

it sure isnt called r/OC

[cyan ravine]

R/overclocking?

Leave once you got the bios, that place is weird ☠️

[mossy lion]

need some help so yesterday i installed some new ram

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09VZQMW1B?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

this is the ram

i was told to set up xmp

did that it was working fine last night

this morning had some issues had to go to work really could not have time to see why

turn it on right now, and two issues right away. One it just froze for like a good 20 seconds could not do a thing, and then after that all my monitors when black. Then they all turned on

could the issue be the new ram, or would could be the cause of this?

currently running some games right now and no issues thus far

game just closed on me not sure why

[weary galleon]

monitors going black then back on kinda sounds like a GPU driver update. Not sure if that's what it is though, my system doesn't usually freeze when updating

[mossy lion]

wasn't doing any type of updating. Just turn the pc on and that's when it froze, and then monitors when black, and turn back on

[weary galleon]

hmm

[mossy lion]

i guess it was the ram cuz i switched back to my old ram, and its working fine. No freezing or black screens

always a issue with my pc whenever i try to change the ram lol

[storm prairie]

@bitter mason

[storm prairie]

Kingston FURY Beast 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory is it good ram kit?

with Kingston NV2 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive

[mossy venture]

theres prob cheaper ram options, and the nv2 isn't great

are you in the US?

if so id suggest https://pcpartpicker.com/product/cCKscf/silicon-power-value-gaming-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr5-6000-cl30-memory-sp032gxlwu60afdeae

[storm prairie]

@mossy venturebut why the kingstone is it bad memory and storage ?

[mossy venture]

the ram itself is fine, the silicon power ram is just cheaper and the same thing

the nv2 has issues

mp44q is a very good ssd

[storm prairie]

not avaliable

[mossy venture]

do you need it to be on newegg?

are you ordering from a different country?

[storm prairie]

yes i'm from kuwait

[mossy venture]

ah alright

then one second

[storm prairie]

but both are cool

like good combos

is cool right?

[plucky timber]

third one this month

are there any local online stores?

maybe they'll offer better prices than newegg

[storm prairie]

UNAVAILABLE FOR KUWAIT

sad

[mossy venture]

oh right it has to be sold by newegg

[storm prairie]

i think its okay to stick with my storage

not team group

[mossy venture]

it is not

the nv2 has issues

kingston was swapping parts and if you get one of the bad drives, it could fail

this should be available https://www.newegg.com/team-group-2tb-t-force-g50-nvme-1-4/p/N82E16820985144?nm_mc=AFC-RAN-COM&cm_mmc=afc-ran-com-_-PCPartPicker&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=afc-ran-com-_-PCPartPicker&utm_source=afc-PCPartPicker&AFFID=2558510&AFFNAME=PCPartPicker&ACRID=1&ASUBID=&ASID=https%3A%2F%2Fpcpartpicker.com%2Fproduct%2FhrLdnQ%2Fteamgroup-t-force-g50-2-tb-m2-2280-pcie-40-x4-nvme-solid-state-drive-tm8ffe002t0c129&ranMID=44583&ranEAID=2558510&ranSiteID=8BacdVP0GFs-K4ctx_I9VExL_4jcwOa.7A

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ft2zfd

[plucky timber]

is this for gaming only?

[mossy venture]

are you ordering everything from newegg?

[storm prairie]

for all

[bitter mason]

so 6000c30 is the XMP?

[plucky timber]

you're fine with radeon?

[plucky timber]

what does all entail

[mossy venture]

you definitely don't need the aio, but if you want it for the looks that's fine

[bitter mason]

& it won't POST 6000c30?

[plucky timber]

I'd recommend getting the thermalright frozen prism 240 if you just want the looks

way cheaper

[mossy venture]

just unnecesary spending. could def do a cheaper mobo without losing anything, and I'd consider doing a better psu. a better psu isn't needed, but means you can reuse it and upgrade your pc easier

[plucky timber]

I think it's literally like 10-20$ more for a A750GL

[storm prairie]

yes?

[storm prairie]

ofc

[mossy venture]

wow newegg has a terrible cooler selection

[plucky timber]

is amazon fine?

[mossy venture]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XFFY9C

that should all have shipping to kuwait

[storm prairie]

yea also for cooling my pc

[mossy venture]

?

why

[plucky timber]

you don't need an aio

[mossy venture]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/zpjBD3/phanteks-m25-120-pwm-8426-cfm-120-mm-fans-3-pack-ph-f120m25_pwm_bbk01_3p

[bitter mason]

increase VSOC voltage by .05. If that doesn't work, increase another .05

[plucky timber]

@storm prairie what do you do on the pc?

[mossy venture]

end of the day it's your money and your pc

[plucky timber]

do you need the extra cores?

[mossy venture]

he thought you were talking to him, wrong person

[plucky timber]

I feel like this is the same person from a week ago with a different account

[storm prairie]

i don't get it

[mossy venture]

wrong person

you responded to him when he wasnt talking to you, so he responded thinking you're someone else

[plucky timber]

is the peerless assassin not available?

probably not needed but still

I seriously have a hunch this is the same guy from a week ago

[storm prairie]

chill i just changed my username

asking& learning if its okay

[plucky timber]

oh are you actually the same person?

[storm prairie]

yes

[plucky timber]

so are you planning to buy anything any time soon?

[storm prairie]

i do i swear but searching always

[plucky timber]

what's wrong with the list from last week

It's practically the same

[storm prairie]

the cpu i need arctic freezer

[plucky timber]

well

[storm prairie]

i mean

aio

[plucky timber]

you don't "need" it

you "want" it

but yeah sure it's your pc

[storm prairie]

tea sorry

[plucky timber]

I've pretty much given up at this point

[storm prairie]

[mossy venture]

.

[storm prairie]

to team group

[plucky timber]

ok

please actually go with his recommendations this time

[storm prairie]

but why 6400

[plucky timber]

I'm assuming 6000 isn't available

you can always set it to 6000

[storm prairie]

in bios right?

[plucky timber]

yes

[bitter mason]

in BIOS

[storm prairie]

the storage " team group"

[plucky timber]

can you ship from saudi arabia?

[storm prairie]

nah

[plucky timber]

at this point you'd have better luck buying a prebuilt from a local shop

[rain carbon]

Whats a saudi arabia? I only mud lovin flag lovin god fearin murica 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🎇

[storm prairie]

[mossy lion]

do you want to see my entire build instead

[storm prairie]

@mossy venture@plucky timber

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rd9yKq

so?

[clear pasture]

Ok

So I built my pc but running into this problem of where it will turn on and work but the. Randomly will stop posting but the rgb will be on

So what I did was change the plug in ports on my extension cord and it will work then won’t and I have to switch

What can I do to make it post and boot and not have to change the plug portevery time

[odd venture]

well i just won 400k

rare LOL

[stoic island]

I may have been doing a bit of gambling

just a little

[mossy lion]

if you were wondering here is my current build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/psMhXk

however i am in the middle of getting parts to build a new pc, but i would like to keep this as the pc to stream, and my other one for gaming

that build was help by felix to pick out the parts

as always any help i am thankful for

[lilac tinsel]

hi guys I'm looking to get an am4 board for a ryzen 5 5600 and stumbled upon the aorus a520 elite for 87$. i was under the impression that most a520 chipset boards are just barebones for cost saving measures but this one seems better than any b550 at this price point, except for the chipset

[cyan ravine]

Doesn't look too bad, is A520m tuf wifi ii available?

[lilac tinsel]

yeah, for 99$. any improvements over the aorus one?

[cyan ravine]

It can take a 5950X no issues so it's an option imo

I normally suggest that one for AM4 rn

The A520 aorus looks ok tho ngl

[lilac tinsel]

is there any benefit to going with a cheaper b550 over the a520?

[cyan ravine]

If you ask me, no unless you're obsessed with overclocking

Just regular gaming stuff, A520 is just like a cheaper usb hub

[lilac tinsel]

ok great thanks, but the aorus one looks pretty good cause of the alc1200 audio

[cyan ravine]

If you want a good audio driver don't shop by mobo

Realtek embedded audio codecs are quite meh

I think I even have a 1200, compares nothing to a good dac imo

Which ofc, expensive

But apple's $7 usb-c adapter exists

So having usb-c and $7 would likely do you better than that codec

[lilac tinsel]

yeah I do have an external audio interface but I was going with the thought that it does use good components for a cheaper chipset

also the aorus one is atx

[cyan ravine]

It does lend a little credence yeah, but I'd think more in terms of vrm personally

That higher tier codec is a part of the price

[lilac tinsel]

yeah that does seem best for the price, thanks

[cyan ravine]

Np

Smart decision going A series imo

For most people, as long as the numbers look good, the uber budget picks can be really good

People often put weight into things like X570 for example when they just play games

And X570 does a buttload of nothing in that situation

[lilac tinsel]

lol yeah, btw found a b550m aorus for the same price as your tuf a520, any problems with that one?

in terms for vrms and stuff

[cyan ravine]

B550m aorus is very good for 99

I'd go that one

[lilac tinsel]

alright thanks

[cyan ravine]

Huge vrm uptick

Good board features

Excellent overclocking

That's a no brainer best pick of the three

[lilac tinsel]

ty

[cyan ravine]

Np

[flint sapphire]

Hey @cyan ravine is this a very normy build? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TxVC6Q

[cyan ravine]

Oh god yeah it's awful

LOL

Bad board, terrible cooler choice

Ram is moderately ok

SSD sucks

[flint sapphire]

[cyan ravine]

GPU is, white tax

O11 Vision is meh compared to compatct

[flint sapphire]

The aorus master is fine lmao

[cyan ravine]

GF A3 is an actual fire hazard

As of last 6 months

[flint sapphire]

I’m aware of that

[cyan ravine]

Not for a gaming pc

Why do you make me say it

[flint sapphire]

Pfff

[cyan ravine]

YOU AND 343-

REEE

[flint sapphire]

Just cuz it’s funny to link random half assed builds to you

Oh wanna see a fun one?

[cyan ravine]

Oh did I say the fans are 5x the price of the same thing from their oem

Cos they are

[flint sapphire]

A buddy stopped taking my advice for gaming stuff cuz my brother shut me down when I was memeing about 48gbs of ram

https://newegg.io/2a1a116

[cyan ravine]

Tf is this for

Gaming?

[flint sapphire]

I guess?

I told him the cooler was good lmao

[cyan ravine]

Do you want me to inform your brother of his terminal IQ issue

I'm good at bad news

[flint sapphire]

Nah it’s fine

[cyan ravine]

Tf is that wasted crap

No offense he is obsessed with corsair

[jagged ember]

"All units be advised this is a terrible value "

[cyan ravine]

I bet he also suggested corsair fans

COS HE LOVES THOSE

[flint sapphire]

Yeah he probably is

[jagged ember]

Look corsair is life

[cyan ravine]

Worst fans on the market by a mile

[jagged ember]

You wouldn't understand

[flint sapphire]

Pfff my new super flower fan come with a 3 button remote

[jagged ember]

They might be called curse-air in my mind

[cyan ravine]

Me when I roll up with better performance on a $99 board

And no icue bloat

[jagged ember]

But you would not understand the genius of an everything corsair build

John Corsair will see it and be so impressed at how stupid it is

[flint sapphire]

The underglow is pretty peak on the Corsair pc tho

[jagged ember]

He will feel pity and pay me back

[flint sapphire]

What kinda Corsair build we talking about here

Can I get a pcp list

[cyan ravine]

I can get better performance and underglow never touching icue

Corsair sucks

It's not a negotiation it's a settlement

[flint sapphire]

Alright settle down

[flint sapphire]

But also prove it, I wanna see better underglow

[cyan ravine]

Alr

Send me a cheque to build and ship you a better underglow pc

We'll talk

[flint sapphire]

Pfff I’m not paying for it

[cyan ravine]

Well I'm not disassembling everything I have either

I JUST FIXED MY PROBLEMS

[flint sapphire]

Well I guess my Corsair underglow is just better by default then

[cyan ravine]

L take

Not even assuming I'm even remotely here cos I don't have any pics

Kmart man seems to forget I have built dozens of pc's now and helped thousands more

[flint sapphire]

me over here with my tens of builds defending my brothers honor

[jagged ember]

Glory to super earth

Not corsair

[cyan ravine]

Bro really about to commit corsairn't in a minute

[flint sapphire]

Just because my brother is blinded by brand loyalty and marketing nonsense doesnt mean uh im not sure where im going with this

I’ll build the best strawman for Corsair

[cyan ravine]

If everyone here sent me $50 I'll build the coarse hair build

No corsair

Just coarse hair

Show you all how it's done

Hairy

[flint sapphire]

Pfff yeah if everyone here matched that much and sent it to me id build a Corsair pc maybe id probably need to take out a loan

[flint sapphire]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jPTNcx fight me coward

[manic cloak]

Disgusting build, needs more corsair

[manic cloak]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QK9Fgn

[cyan ravine]

It just kept getting worse then the end price was insane

It's almost the price of a 4090/7800X3D build from this time last year

[flint sapphire]

I don’t see any response build

(The 1000watt psu was cuz of the extra 6pin requirement for the aio )

[cyan ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/charge-penguin-highway-gif-21457682

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XcXFgn

[flint sapphire]

i dont see any extra fans

and a lack of rgb on tht gpu is concerning, i retract this theres evga levels

[cyan ravine]

Brother check the actual case out

And the gpu

Smh

Oh you retracted

Still

Go look at the case and learnededing why I am choosing my things

[flint sapphire]

brother my case comes with 3 rgb fans already who cares about your rgb strip

[cyan ravine]

Oh hold on then while I dip into my $300 savings to add some rgb rq

[flint sapphire]

of course of course

[cyan ravine]

Hold on

Brb

[flint sapphire]

It's silver and also the most rgb of all

Brother do you wanna see how white it really looks

[flint sapphire]

look i didnt go for the white build

[cyan ravine]

Ya and you somehow managed to cost $300 more without white tax

It's actually insane

[flint sapphire]

pffff

fine

[cyan ravine]

Just look how white this thing is

It's practically racist

[flint sapphire]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BNKGLc

thats like gun metal grey

[cyan ravine]

Oh no your screenless aio costs as much as mine

[flint sapphire]

5 less cfm

[cyan ravine]

Hey screen is +fps bro

You know how pcmr works

[flint sapphire]

use to have more

[cyan ravine]

I need to uh

Put the cooler back

[flint sapphire]

im sorry corsair just doesnt have a cheap lcd screen aio

[cyan ravine]

It's almost white

It's certainly not black

[flint sapphire]

[cyan ravine]

Calling that black would be genuinely racist

[flint sapphire]

throw that in a all white build rn

[cyan ravine]

I just did

[flint sapphire]

rn

[cyan ravine]

i havent had the need for 128gb yet

YET

[cyan ravine]

Can't imagine a world where you would

Maybe CP2079 in 2035

[flint sapphire]

wanna do a "future proof" pc

[cyan ravine]

64GB will last longer than anything else in the system

💀

[flint sapphire]

eh, he bought a 1500hx plat corsair psu

that thing will prob outlast everything else

[cyan ravine]

I just sneeze-sploded

Ah stupid allergies

[cyan ravine]

Nuh uh they'll revise 12vhpwr 4 more times and render the psu unusable

[flint sapphire]

dongle

[cyan ravine]

Wireless power

I like

Like those new unifans(???)

[flint sapphire]

oh?

[cyan ravine]

Yeah they're wireless

Except they're absolutely not wireless

They have wires
