s tier

still bay
#

takes too long to ship

#

14-21

hollow grail
#

get from amazon then

still bay
#

i say that like i didnt spend like hundreds of dollars on express shipping

#

lili idk what language i gotta say this in im not getting a drive faster than my boot drive it does not make sense

#

if i do that im going to end up wiping my windows and reinstalling on the other drive

viral ore
hollow grail
#

make it boot drive

still bay
#

do u really want that happening

still bay
hollow grail
#

clone it using the samsung tool

still bay
hollow grail
#

5 mins

viral ore
hollow grail
still bay
#

speed U will never use, speed I will.

still bay
viral ore
hollow grail
#

yes

still bay
#

can i just transfer windows to another drive?

#

but then my boot drive is 2tb and my mass storage is 1tb

hollow grail
#

yeah

still bay
#

see the dilemna here

hollow grail
#

takes like 30 mins

still bay
#

30?

#

woah now

hollow grail
#

this is where you get a hdd

#

and forget abt dumb ssd stuff

still bay
#

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

#

ill just get another 4tb wd black then

#

u guys are no fun

viral ore
#

great idea!

still bay
#

gotta live a little sometimes ya know

viral ore
#

good to see you are taking our advice in some way and not asking us questions for the sake of ignoring us

#

which people do a lot

still bay
#

oh theres like a 50% chance i just get an ssd

#

i did that with my psu (different discord)

#

instead of super flower i went seasonic

viral ore
#

well, no reason to ask people for help here, we will all tell you the same thing

#

now go and purchase whatever you want

still bay
#

sturs up conversation though, no?

hollow grail
#

just wastes peoples time

viral ore
#

we are trying to help people who need it

#

:P

#

thats why im a techie

still bay
#

interesting

hollow grail
#

considering it's donated time, kinda a jerk move keeeeek

still bay
#

now heres a proposition

viral ore
#

and the 12 most active person in the server

#

:P

still bay
#

i run 2 rgb ssd's in raid 0

sand falcon
#

rgb?

viral ore
#

raid HDDs, not ssds

sand falcon
#

RAID SSD!!!!!!

still bay
#

oh wow u guys really cant tell im joking

sand falcon
#

C

#

c'mon sassy, let's have fun

still bay
#

ive been having fun

#

u guys are the issue

hollow grail
sand falcon
#

One sec, lemme find the rgb ssd

#

Team made one

viral ore
sand falcon
still bay
#

what exactly makes a motherboard "gaming"

sand falcon
#

The PR department

still bay
#

im joking

#

dont get all nerdy on me

hollow grail
sand falcon
#

It's purely branding

still bay
#

no kidding i was joking

#

ur really killin me here man

viral ore
#

duh

sand falcon
#

I answer all questions

viral ore
cunning sundial
#

I recommend focusing on wifi capabilities and ports that you want

still bay
#

its simple guys

#

best aio is hands down the floe rc 360

sand falcon
#

eh

viral ore
#

also, we just kinda assume the people we talk to know very little, so we cant tell the difference between a joke and a genuine question

cunning sundial
#

For real

sand falcon
#

It can be hard

viral ore
#

trust me, ive answered some pretty stupid sounding questions

still bay
viral ore
#

and had people be like, oh, ok

still bay
#

i was kidding abotu the aio

sand falcon
still bay
#

its the stupid thermaltake ram cooler

viral ore
still bay
cunning sundial
#

Wait you mean rgb doesn't give me better performance?!?!

sand falcon
#

Exactly Sassy's point

viral ore
#

you are clueless until you prove me otherwise

still bay
#

im still baffled that thermaltake geniunely thought an aio for ur cpu and RAM was a good idea

sand falcon
#

Yeah

#

Ram gets hot

viral ore
#

bob and lili here know more than me

still bay
#

ram does not get hot lol

sand falcon
#

Hot ram go slow

#

Ram gets hot

#

Why do you think it has a heat spreader?

viral ore
still bay
#

it does get hot but not hot enough to need an triple rad for it

#

lol

cunning sundial
#

Define "Hot"

still bay
#

it gets hot but not hot enough to warrant more than a simple heat sink

sand falcon
#

You already have a cooling loop running to the CPU, why not add the ram?

#

Some ram actually does need active cooling

still bay
#

not the ram u and me have probably

#

and also u have to buy thermal take ram iirc to work with that

#

so

sand falcon
#

I've dealt with some in the past

still bay
#

or maybe u take off the heatsink

cunning sundial
#

What kind of volcanic ram have you been in contact with?! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

sand falcon
#

3600cl16 ecc in tight spaces

still bay
#

geniune question but wouldnt that system just bring the heat from ur cpu onto ur ram?

uneven mist
#

lmao

sand falcon
#

Ram is earlier in the loop iirc?

still bay
#

uhh

sand falcon
#

Your coolant won't really get that hot anyway

still bay
#

idk which way it is ran

#

but i was assuming it went cpu ram

sand falcon
#

well, that's a dumb assumption

still bay
#

why is that

sand falcon
#

Go from least heat to most heat

cunning sundial
#

We should all just drown our pcs in liquid nitrogen. Then we don't have anything to argue about

still bay
#

i guess

jagged ember
#

even then, run it from least to most

still bay
#

still stupid

sand falcon
#

Yes, it's pointless for most builds, but that doesn't make it bad

#

Also, if your coolant is hotter than your ram, you've got some issues

#

Just sayin

still bay
#

k

sand falcon
#

Even if your CPU is pinned at 90Β°, your coolant (hopefully) won't be anywhere near that hot if the rad is working

jagged ember
#

imagine reaching thermal equilibirum with your entire cooling loop

still bay
#

nzxt boards are just rebranded asrocks right?

sand falcon
#

Is this a serious question?

still bay
#

yes

uneven mist
#

i got an aio right and it comes with preinstalled thermal paste but is it worth me gettings KPx for the memes

sand falcon
#

That has some useful info @still bay

still bay
#

what the hell is this website

uneven mist
#

i feel like im gonna gey a virus now

viral ore
sand falcon
#

lmgtfy

#

It's a search engine

still bay
#

what the hell just use google or tor

uneven mist
#

i still feel like imma get a virus lol

sand falcon
#

πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

hollow grail
still bay
uneven mist
#

does tor even run that many websites anymore

still bay
#

wut

sand falcon
still bay
#

even i know that sounds dumb

#

bro just go ahead and log out for me

uneven mist
#

aight

still bay
#

idk what nzxt was doing there but i do like their boards idk why they stopped (maybe not)

sand falcon
#

@still bay lmgtfy is legit. It basically lets you enter a search term and then you can select what site to search from

hollow grail
sand falcon
#

My default search engine is ddg, but I pull out lmgtfy when there are lots of questions

hollow grail
#

didnt stop

sand falcon
#

It just makes my life easier

still bay
#

ik but no amd boards

sand falcon
#

I'll leave the embed this time

still bay
#

oh boy cool kid here

sand falcon
#

LMGTFY = let me google that for you

still bay
#

oh i get it now

#

its a joke thing

sand falcon
#

It's a thing of beauty

still bay
#

yeah cool

cunning sundial
#

Would you guys buy a damascus pc case?

#

/tower*

sand falcon
still bay
#

what

sand falcon
#

It might be interesting

#

But very expensive

still bay
#

k downloading rn

#

gonna have 64 gigs now

cunning sundial
#

I feel like if it was done well it would be awesome

hollow grail
sand falcon
#

oops

jagged ember
#

lol

sand falcon
#

ignore that one

jagged ember
#

but it's unbelievable

cunning sundial
#

πŸ˜†

still bay
#

ok im asking a serious question now so buckle up

tough kettle
still bay
#

actually u know what

sand falcon
#

okay

still bay
#

im gonna google it because i dislike u guys

jagged ember
#

thanks for the filter bypass

sand falcon
#

No avoiding filter

viral ore
#

πŸ‘

jagged ember
#

mods see all

sand falcon
#

That's a bannable offense

jagged ember
sand falcon
#

They see edit history too

still bay
#

ive done it numerous times so they dont seem to be seeing what im saying

sand falcon
#

They can

still bay
#

kinda dont really care

sand falcon
#

οΌ theo_yells

#

They care

jagged ember
still bay
#

who is theo yells

sand falcon
#

We can answer questions

still bay
#

believe it or not i dont live on the newegg discord server

cunning sundial
#

Mods, can I have his experience when you eliminate* him?

sand falcon
#

We just don't like answering stupid questions

still bay
#

i didnt even ask anything stupid

sand falcon
#

Or answering questions that you have a preconceived proper response too

#

You did

still bay
#

what did i ask that u deem stupid

sand falcon
still bay
#

was it that difficult for u to say he is a mod

sand falcon
#

That's what I just did

still bay
#

i mean not concisely

sand falcon
#

wdym

gilded anvil
#

Can anyone help me with a pc problem?

sand falcon
#

Picture is pretty darn concise

#

@gilded anvil yup

cunning sundial
#

Yes please we're bored

gilded anvil
#

My ssd isnt showing up on task manger or device manger but is showing up in bios whqt do I do

still bay
#

did u format it

sand falcon
#

Have you formatted the SSD yet?

gilded anvil
#

No

still bay
#

click windows key

#

and type format and press enter

#

just follow what it says

idle hawk
#

or

gilded anvil
#

It doesnt show up there

sand falcon
#

I usually type partition, and there will be some program along the line of "disk manager" or "drive manager"

idle hawk
#

right click on the windows key disk management and new boom simple volume

sand falcon
#

Should so up as a large box with a black line

still bay
#

so ur in the disk management

#

yeah right click and i think it says initialize

sand falcon
#

Sometimes it's right below the bottom of the window and need to scroll. It's a pretty bad gui design

idle hawk
sand falcon
#

Disk 2

idle hawk
#

send a snip

still bay
#

hover over disk 2 on the bottom and right click

idle hawk
#

thats mine

#

i dont need it

still bay
#

oh

#

lol

idle hawk
#

lol

still bay
#

i thought it was his

idle hawk
#

nope

sand falcon
#

It's just an example picture

gilded anvil
idle hawk
#

his drive isnt showing

sand falcon
#

Scoll down

gilded anvil
#

Nothing is under drive 1

idle hawk
#

its only showing 1 drive in the system

sand falcon
#

Interesting

#

Wonder what's up with drive 0

idle hawk
#

might not be connected properly

sand falcon
#

It was showing up in bios, so it's probably hooked up right

gilded anvil
#

Yrah its showing in bios

sand falcon
#

Maybe there's no partition table?

still bay
#

i was gonna say run hdtunepro but its not even being detected?

idle hawk
#

the drive is corrupted

sand falcon
#

What happens if you right click on drive 0

#

Maybe, maybe not

idle hawk
still bay
sand falcon
#

Even if it is corrupted, you should be able to wipe it

idle hawk
sand falcon
#

I say rebuild the partition table

idle hawk
#

if its not initialized he cant do much in disk management

gilded anvil
idle hawk
#

he needs to get the drive initialized

sand falcon
#

Initialize disk, let's give it a shot

idle hawk
#

hopefully its not corrupted

sand falcon
#

I'll look up how to fix that table

idle hawk
#

thats strange

still bay
#

correct me if im wrong but does the 10900k not have a stock boost clock of 5 ghz (maybe higher)?

idle hawk
#

is it a new drive

tender fjord
sand falcon
#

You can fix a corrupted table πŸ™‚

#

@tender fjord that's fine

idle hawk
gilded anvil
#

No I bought it from someone and I uaed it for about 4 and a half months

still bay
sand falcon
tender fjord
#

I don't need a 3600 right

idle hawk
#

im curious is it a new drive

sand falcon
#

It's not

idle hawk
#

oh ok

sand falcon
#

No I bought it from someone and I uaed it for about 4 and a half months

still bay
idle hawk
tender fjord
#

alright

still bay
#

well thats ur first mistake is buying used storage

sand falcon
#

You don't

tender fjord
#

is the case good?

still bay
#

lancool mesh is amazing

sand falcon
#

Have you used the drive before now @gilded anvil?

still bay
#

one of the best for airflow

gilded anvil
#

Yea

#

Yes*

tender fjord
#

how does the crucial p2 compete with the 970 evo

sand falcon
#

So it was working until now

idle hawk
#

just bought a wd black sn750 1tb sealed for 80

gilded anvil
#

Yes no problems

viral ore
still bay
#

i'd imagine the 970 evo is faster but

viral ore
#

no competition

sand falcon
tender fjord
#

oh

idle hawk
#

thats never happened to me

#

thats so strange

still bay
#

bottlecapjim thats a good build but r u sure u want red ram?

sand falcon
#

Any important data on it?

bold thorn
#

I am new to building a pc by myself, how am to find the best resources that are compatible

still bay
#

ur locking urself in man

still bay
gilded anvil
#

No nothing important

sand falcon
#

You want to do data recovery on it or nah?

bold thorn
#

I was just looking at cases and I lost my mind, I needed a full case but then there were a ton of other things to consider

still bay
idle hawk
#

thats such a hassle data recovery

gilded anvil
sand falcon
sand falcon
still bay
#

true but u have to count in airflow

idle hawk
#

unless u got a good free one

still bay
#

find a balance between airflow and looks that works for u

sand falcon
#

Most cases have good enough airflow

still bay
#

true

#

even a h510 is plenty for most builds

sand falcon
still bay
#

as long as ur not stuffing a like 3090 in it then

gilded anvil
#

Ive never used linux

sand falcon
#

Okay

#

Depending on what happened to the drive, we may or may not be able to get the data off of it

#

The easiest way I have is to make a "life boat" linux USB with all of the tools preinstalled.

gilded anvil
#

We dont have to recover the data

sand falcon
#

Okay

still bay
#

boog i got news for u

#

the data is gone

idle hawk
#

you showing him a command line data recovery program

sand falcon
still bay
sand falcon
sand falcon
still bay
idle hawk
#

data is never gone unless you scrub hard enough

sand falcon
#

Even if the drive shattered, you can still recover sectors

still bay
#

@gilded anvil i was just kidding but it was just gonna be complicated to get bck probably

#

soon as he said r u comfortable with linux i knew it was

gilded anvil
#

I dont nees it back

sand falcon
#

It'll be a few hours, so if it's not worth the hassle don't bother

still bay
#

what is the best way to quickly like permanently delete stuff off a drive

sand falcon
#

You can do it in windows, but you have to go and find all the programs and then I have to go and learn windows command line πŸ™‚

still bay
#

if ur pc is off

idle hawk
#

welp im heading out

#

night everyone

gilded anvil
#

Bye

sand falcon
#

Best way probably would be to run it through an induction coil

#

night Joker

gilded anvil
#

Goodnight

sand falcon
#

Or just nuke it

still bay
#

hug

sand falcon
idle hawk
sand falcon
#

Glorious timing there

idle hawk
#

hell yea lmaoooo

#

im leaving with a bang now

#

night

sand falcon
#

night

still bay
#

bob

sand falcon
#

yeah?

still bay
#

when people say like the "silicone quality" of the cpu do they quite literally mean like how "nice" the silicone is or what?

sand falcon
#

Yeah, pretty much

tender fjord
#

when do you guys pridict that the ryzen 5 5600x and the 3060 ti will be back in stock for good

still bay
#

prob in a few months

#

so they take a piece of silicone and they etch an image of the cpu right

tender fjord
#

alright

still bay
#

so how does the silicone quality affect the chip

sand falcon
#

Quality is mostly how pure it is, which will effect how well it behaves at high frequencies and how much waste heat it gives off

still bay
#

oh so its gotta do with heat and stability

sand falcon
#

And yeah, they etch the CPU into the wafer

tender fjord
#

I tried but it's hard

still bay
#

it is hard

#

so right then thats why the smaller transistor size the better because it takes less power

sand falcon
#

Also if there are impurities it can interfere with the etching process and make the whole chip kaput

still bay
#

well thats not why but

tender fjord
#

someone else is telling me that the cpu is not compatible with the board

sand falcon
#

One of the reasons, yes

gilded anvil
#

Ok I have discord on my pc now so what ahould I do about the ssd

sand falcon
#

It's fine Jim

still bay
#

jim u got bob laser shark himself telling u its fine

sand falcon
#

@gilded anvil Honestly I'd just call it a loss if there was nothing important on it

#

@tender fjord That motherboard has a feature where you can update the bios even without a CPU installed

tender fjord
#

oh

still bay
#

aight so this is someting i have just never understood but what is a chipset of the motherboard? like ik what it is but what does it affectively do?

sand falcon
#

So even if the bios you get it with doesn't support the 5600x, you can install the most recent one

still bay
#

googled it i understand

#

lol

sand falcon
#

Chipset serves as communication between the CPU and most everything else on the motherboard

still bay
#

gotcha so then are new one sjust better like z490 is better than z390

#

or is it bc of the cpu's changing

sand falcon
#

And they work with different CPUs

#

It's both, mostly just needing to work with new CPUs

still bay
#

gotcha

#

but affectively z490 is better than z190

sand falcon
#

Yes

#

If there was a z190 ofc

still bay
#

right z170 then

sand falcon
#

No clue

#

I don't know intel that old

still bay
#

iirc z170 was 6th gen so skylake

sand falcon
#

Okay

#

That's a ways back

still bay
#

but so newer chip set means its like better at communicating?

#

basically?

#

also new cpu but like

sand falcon
#

Not better at communicating necessarily, just that it knows how to communicate with the newer CPUs

viral ore
#

chipset handles devices that are too slow to be on a bus right on the cpu

#

so like usb

#

and things of that nature

sand falcon
#

Since the newer CPUs are generally better, the chipset usually also will be better to work with it

still bay
#

gotcha so thats why active chipset cooling is becoming a bit more popular with like x570 and some other newer boards

viral ore
#

they also act as a pcie switch, by taking like 4 pcie lanes off the cpu and offering many more

sand falcon
#

The chipsets for those boards are powerful enough that they actually give off a decent amount of heat

still bay
#

powerful enough that it needs more than passive cooling

sand falcon
#

Since they give off a lot of heat, you want to cool them

gilded anvil
#

Imma just buy a new ssd

sand falcon
#

Technically, most of them could probably use passive, but fans are cheap and it's always nice to run at lower temps

#

And marketing πŸ˜‰

#

You'd be surprised about how much of motherboards is just marketing

still bay
#

well yeah

#

i feel like half of the "features" is just bs

#

like oh boy no way i get an extra fan header

#

not like fan splitters are 2 dollars on amazon

sand falcon
#

That one can actually be useful

still bay
#

eh

sand falcon
#

You can only split so far after all

still bay
#

true

sand falcon
#

And splitters are kinda ugly

still bay
#

i mean here i am with a commander pro and 6 fan headers

viral ore
#

depending on the board, 1-2A per header

still bay
#

11 fans could be in use if i wanted to ig

#

technically 12 bc of cpu_opt

#

oh okay this is a question i need answered fr

#

should i plug my pump into cpu_fan or cpu_opt

viral ore
#

doesnt matter

sand falcon
#

commander pro is smart

viral ore
#

any header will do, but on most boards the cpu_fan will offer better control

sand falcon
#

It'll know what it's dealing with

still bay
#

u know whats not smart? my cable management

sand falcon
#

Just get some twist ties or zip strips

#

It doesn't have to be great

still bay
#

im too far gone man

#

like visible is fine

#

jsut the back isnt

sand falcon
#

I'll take a picture of mine, one sec

still bay
#

no point in me cable managing rn

sand falcon
#

Who cable manages the back?

still bay
#

apparently some people do

#

seems dumb to me

viral ore
#

i do KEKW

still bay
#

my front is nice af tho dw

sand falcon
#

I have a bit done back there

viral ore
#

my rear management is pristine

sand falcon
#

Problem is I have no room in the back of my case

still bay
#

well u dont have 6 rgb fans ok

#

and cablemod cables

#

which are extremely thick i did not expect that honestly they are almost hard to work with

viral ore
#

ive got more in this system than you think

sand falcon
still bay
#

ok mine is definitely better than that

#

in the front

sand falcon
#

Like I said, no room

still bay
#

i almost didnt plug in my front usb and front audio as a bit of a cheat ;)

sand falcon
#

It's a cheap case

viral ore
still bay
#

front audio is easy to hide and front usb is kinda helpful sometimes

still bay
viral ore
#

yes

#

yes i did

still bay
#

i am in awe

viral ore
still bay
#

my phone is dead rn and my sister stole my charger and is in a different state rn so

#

no photos sorry

viral ore
#

dang

sand falcon
still bay
#

well

#

i can tell ur a realistic guy

#

what r ur specs

sand falcon
still bay
#

what r ur specs

sand falcon
#

One sec

viral ore
#

2700x, 32gb ram, 1650 super, 660p ssd

#

thats my guess

still bay
#

that is some sort of seventh gen ryzen cpu

#

thats the wraith prism

desert gulch
#

Not seventh gen

still bay
#

prob 3700x maybe 2700x

desert gulch
#

Ryzen 7

still bay
#

ryzen 7 seventh gen same tihng idc

sand falcon
#

Seventh gen doesn't exist yet

desert gulch
#

Yeah

still bay
#

ryzen 7 then fine

desert gulch
#

Maybe bob has a r3 1200 and bought the cooler off ebay

still bay
#

my first build has a 1200 :(

#

had

#

1200 and a 1050ti and it was a beast and i loved it

#

now someones daughter uses it idk

sand falcon
#

Ryzen 2700x, 1660 super, 32GB 3200cl15, 1TB 660p, 4TB barracuda

still bay
#

called it

#

i called it

sand falcon
#

Sassy remembered most of it

still bay
#

nope i called it

viral ore
#

i just guessed from the picture

sand falcon
#

You said 3700x

still bay
#

bro?

brisk brook
#

so quick tech support question. for this pc i cleared the cmos have tried a couple different gpu's that ik work, i can confirm the ram is good and i still cant get it to put a signal out. all the fans spin, and none of the debug LED's light up when its all put to gether. the also my keyboard and mouse arent registering aswell. any ideas on what the issue may be. i also used a 1650 as the other gpu. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7cNjqp

System Builder
desert gulch
#

Bob why not faster ram?

still bay
#

3200 cl15 is pretty fast

sand falcon
#

It's zen+

#

Also money

still bay
#

idk how it compares to 3600 cl16 im not doing the math rn

desert gulch
#

But ryzen loves the fast fast

still bay
#

yeah but

#

is it worth the money

desert gulch
#

Yeah 3600 is pretty much where it tops out in terms of perf

sand falcon
#

zen+ has a lower sweet spot than zen2

desert gulch
#

Hmm

#

Like 3200?

viral ore
#

2700x imc literally cant handle 3600 lmao

still bay
desert gulch
#

It can't?

#

Lol

brisk brook
#

correct no display

sand falcon
#

sand falcon
brisk brook
#

desert gulch

#

#

sand falcon
#

desert gulch
#

Oof

still bay
#

desert gulch
#

What cpu ye?

still bay
#

desert gulch
#

Oh that's trash

still bay
#

Flat out potato

#

10900k is great

still bay

desert gulch
#

Intel ever gonna make anything to combat thread ripper?

still bay
#

with epyc and thread ripper prob not

sand falcon
#

Main issue with 11900k is that it has worse multi core performance than the 10900k

desert gulch
#

Like hecka cores

#

Yeah

still bay
#

amd is just competing with itself

sand falcon
#

Xeon competes with epyc

desert gulch
#

But 11900k has better igpu

sand falcon
#

(and arm and power)

desert gulch
#

So that's a big plus

still bay
#

@brisk brook im sorry man i wish i could help u more but im realy not sure if u tried reseating ram, tested gpu, tested mobo and psu, then idk

desert gulch
#

If you gonna game on igpu

still bay
#

maybe did u bend a cpu pin?

sand falcon
#

That would probably cause bigger problems

still bay
#

who buys a 11900k for the igpu

#

lol

desert gulch
#

Idk

still bay
#

wait wait wait wait

desert gulch
#

Maybe someone who can't get a 3000 series yet

sand falcon
#

Last time I saw a problem like this it was mobo, but who knows

desert gulch
#

And won't be able to

still bay
#

hear me out

desert gulch
#

Is cpu power plugged in?

still bay
#

u get a 11900k

desert gulch
#

Some ppl forget to

still bay
#

then get 128 or 256 (idk if it supports it) gb of ram and boom

#

now ur "gpu" has what like

#

64 gb of vram?

#

it def doesnt work that way

sand falcon
#

Don't think the official ram support has been announced

still bay
#

itll prob be 128

sand falcon
#

I can get you the spec for the 10900k though

still bay
#

its okay i dont plan on doing this believ it or now

#

not

sand falcon
#

Also, can I just say that I hate that when I search "10900k ark" I get benchmarks for ark survival evolved?

hollow grail
#

lmao

desert gulch
#

Lol

still bay
#

hey lili

sand falcon
#

10900k supports up to 128gb, so I would only hope 11900k is at least that

Got to the bottom of the page

Then I got my sister a laptop after I learned

I guess this is kinda NSFW?

When I got into PCs I didn’t know the cpu I use was 800MHz

stoic island
#

@sand falcon even with more nsfw-filled terms like anime, couldn't find any nsfw

desert gulch
#

It was on sale and had a 4500u, which is pretty decent for light photoshop and college and such

sand falcon

4500u is nice

He what

#

@sand falcon illegal way to make ATX PSU fit SFX >:D

weary galleon
#

I'm guessing like cut down the sides?

sand falcon
#

That's angle grinder

weary galleon
#

yeah I think so

sand falcon
#

aka leeeetle bits of metal inside a PSU

stoic island
#

O God no

sand falcon
weary galleon
#

looks like it was taken apart before cutting

stoic island
#

Also I think it might be PSU too long, since iirc ATX is wider and taller than SFX, quite hard to make it smaller that way

#

But there are ATX PSUs that might be a bit longer

weary galleon
#

He hasn't given any updates on the PC

sand falcon
#

tldr don't open a PSU

stoic island
#

Yea don't

sand falcon
#

Those are the death boxes

Good advice right there

#

Don't touch anything inside

sand falcon
#

Not as bad as CRTs

stoic island

Don't drop anything inside

but still bad

CRT will kill you
