[sharp tundra]

i dont think thats msrp

[stoic island]

Like I think ax1600i msrp is around 400-450?

[sharp tundra]

remember, its on amazon and were still in a bit of a shortage

i thought that was around like $700

[stoic island]

Hm

Might've been wrong psu, showing 560 atm

Eh, I'll make pcpp lists for high end PSUs later

[sharp tundra]

$600

actually, its kinda hard to tell, no 2 websites list the same price

[stoic island]

@sharp tundra it was 560$ according to Corsair's website

[sharp tundra]

how much is $699 CAD?

[stoic island]

550usd

[sharp tundra]

okay

so thats about right

[stoic island]

1600w psu list time

[sharp tundra]

i only seen it list the canadian price for some reason

i live nowhere near canadia

[stoic island]

@sharp tundra lmao AXi 1500w is 450$ msrp

that's the one

https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Power-Supply-Units/axi-series-config/p/CP-9020057-NA

[sharp tundra]

but do i really want 1500W?

[stoic island]

just an example, lower than Amazon pricing for that prime px unit lmao

[sharp tundra]

yeah

[stoic island]

@sharp tundra what you probably want would be Revolution D.F. 850w lel

130$

[sharp tundra]

im not trusting a $130 psu with my $4000 PC

[little osprey]

I can always get you a 4000W PSU

[stoic island]

damn prices are wack with this stuff

@sharp tundra excuse me what

[little osprey]

excuse me?

Would you rather power it with a 3$ PSU

[sharp tundra]

lol

yes

[little osprey]

[stoic island]

what are you going to power

[little osprey]

his 4000$ PC of course

[sharp tundra]

5800x and 3080

[stoic island]

Exactly

[little osprey]

Then buy superflower

[stoic island]

D.F. 850w is going to be great

@little osprey what, leadex?

[sharp tundra]

i plan to overclock a bit

[little osprey]

Super Flower Leadex Plat

[stoic island]

850w is more than enough still :P

[little osprey]

[stoic island]

lol

[stoic island]

leadex iii gold makes more sense imo

but ok

lmao

[sharp tundra]

Ewwww

ugly psu

[stoic island]

RMi is the only thing that I'd ever find reasonable for high wattage high end consumer :P

uh

what

[little osprey]

SMH

[stoic island]

lol

[little osprey]

As you were saying?

[sharp tundra]

ill take it

[stoic island]

gonna be great when rm1000i goes back to 200$

[little osprey]

Superflower makes some of the best PSU's

and if I can power an 3070 and a 3700x on 850w

and don't use even close to that much amount of power

[stoic island]

smh who was it that did 2080ti and 3600 on a 450w psu

bleach?

don't remember

[little osprey]

I think so

[sharp tundra]

ya see, i would get an RMi, but i dont wanna be racking up the electric bill with all that inefficiency

[stoic island]

what

how is rmi inefficient

[little osprey]

How

RMX is good

[stoic island]

please tell me

[little osprey]

RMi is similar

[sharp tundra]

its only gold

[little osprey]

ONLY GOLD

[stoic island]

.......

[little osprey]

[sharp tundra]

not titanium

[stoic island]

you want me to go find you the efficiency curves

brb

[little osprey]

Go do it

[sharp tundra]

ive already seen them

oh, okay

[little osprey]

Super flower leadex palt

plat

[stoic island]

nah there's efficiency curves for specific PSUs that were tested lol

[little osprey]

Or wait till march

for the 1600w

https://giphy.com/gifs/moodman-woman-yelling-at-cat-a-women-JRE3AvLsSRXg360F6l

Damn

Embed borked

[sharp tundra]

if i have a 1000titanium psu vs a 1000gold, the titanium is only gonna take maybe 1050w on full load, vs a gold that would take 1200w from the wall

[little osprey]

lol

Lol

its easy to get gold or even plat tbh stamped on

the ratings are dirt cheap, i bet thermaltake has one.

Imma lurk

[south jewel]

Dread did u see the thing in build pics

[muted patio]

it's gone

[south jewel]

Ty

I messaged forks too

[sharp tundra]

what was in there?

[stoic island]

@sharp tundra hell no

[south jewel]

It was bad

[stoic island]

that's not how efficiency ratings work

[little osprey]

^

[south jewel]

Imma dm u

[stoic island]

there's a 2% difference in the certification

[little osprey]

I need mr1111 to explain

Lol

Even i don't think thats how curves work

[stoic island]

Prime titan testing:

RMi testing:

[little osprey]

If gold uses so much energy

[stoic island]

Prime titan close up

[little osprey]

why would everyone aim for gold psu's

lol

[stoic island]

RMi closeup

so yea

[little osprey]

@stoic island its dirt cheap to stamp em on right?

[stoic island]

it's pretty cheap to get the certification afaik

[little osprey]

IIRC, I think either racer, or someone mentioned its cheap

Cause that average efficiency curve lol

[stoic island]

lol

[muted patio]

What's cheap?

[little osprey]

If gold psu's worked like that

Stamping on 80+

Like the ratings iirc

Someone said it

IDRC if it was you

[muted patio]

I mean, the amount of energy it saves isn't much over a year

People tend to equate the Gold rating with quality

[little osprey]

^

Yep, and still gold psu's which are bad

[muted patio]

So I quickly dismiss those ratings as "forget about them and listen to what I tell you"

[sharp tundra]

so ur telling me

[little osprey]

P-GM is gold

It explodes underload lol

[sharp tundra]

if i get a 1000w titanium

and a 1000w gold

[stoic island]

I'll give you actual numbers for testing on both PSUs,
Prime PX :
1124 watt from wall -> 1028 watt output
RMi :
1135 watt from wall -> 1002 watt output

[sharp tundra]

the 1000w titanium wouldnt save me money

[stoic island]

what, 30w difference AT FULL LOAD

[muted patio]

You'll save like, $10 a year

[little osprey]

^ LOL

if PSU's worked like that, im sure in mid range rigs would use titanium all the time lol

save 200$ over your electric bill

In reality, like racer said.

Its minimal

[sharp tundra]

no, titanium psus expensive

[stoic island]

@sharp tundra Ion+ exists, and there's other reasons why we don't always reccomend that

high ripple

[little osprey]

Basically Titanium vs Gold, savings will be like marginal

[sharp tundra]

well, recommend me any brands then with at least 1000w and wont make my PC go boom

[little osprey]

LTT TIER LIST.

[sharp tundra]

*MODELS

[gusty abyss]

[little osprey]

^

[stoic island]

back to what I sad at the start, just use the ltt tier list

[little osprey]

Yep sigh

I can link it

[static ravine]

Amazing

[little osprey]

https://linustechtips.com/topic/1116640-psucultists-psu-tier-list/

[sharp tundra]

i already got 4 chrome tabs open, idk how much more this thing can take

[little osprey]

Im on it now

[sharp tundra]

lol, jk

[little osprey]

A TIER

AXI

Rmi

HXi

someone recommended RMI

[stoic island]

moi

[sharp tundra]

what if

hear me out

[little osprey]

[sharp tundra]

that i want seasonic

lol

[stoic island]

Sure, let's go find ss rebrands then

[little osprey]

Are you trolling?, can't tell if your serious lol

[stoic island]

I think Phanteks amp is ss rebrand

[little osprey]

Seasonic is A tier for some models

[static ravine]

it is

[muted patio]

Phanteks is on the Seasonic Platform, yes

[sharp tundra]

k fine, ill get an axi

[little osprey]

Lol.

[stoic island]

oo Neo Eco is seasonic rebrand too

[sharp tundra]

jebus

[stoic island]

Old Corsair AX was seasonic too

[little osprey]

Basically avoid potentially dangerous

[stoic island]

I think new AX is Channel well

[little osprey]

Axi is 1500w

and 1600w on here

lol

that specific model

[sharp tundra]

so i should get a AX1500i 80+ PLAT

also

since axi is a bit of a long boi

will it fit in this?

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/FjpmP6/lian-li-o11d-xl-x-atx-full-tower-case-o11d-xl-x

[static ravine]

o11d xl

overrated

[sharp tundra]

ur overrated

[static ravine]

Hyuh

[sharp tundra]

that is one of the most beautiful cases and it has great watercooling support

[little osprey]

https://giphy.com/gifs/moodman-woman-yelling-at-cat-a-women-H7Znb3Y4er7XJrA9J5

[sharp tundra]

so what if everyone and their mamas have one

[little osprey]

First off

Grandma is play solitaire with the 3090

[static ravine]

Its very overrated im not saying dont buy

[little osprey]

^

Seen so many builds in an o11d lol

[static ravine]

so many

Airflow is fine

[stoic island]

we've gone over this previously

:P

[little osprey]

lol

Thats a fact

its all glass and tiny vents

[static ravine]

oh how history repeats itself

[sharp tundra]

well i would keep my current case, was going to for a bit, but i decided i didnt want to anymore

[little osprey]

from what I can see.

[static ravine]

im not saying dont buy

[stoic island]

I think it's actually just decent once you stuff it with fans

but not good

just decent

[static ravine]

idc what you do w money

ur money

[little osprey]

5000D is impressive.

[static ravine]

it is

[little osprey]

I should get a 5000D, tbh

[stoic island]

haven't seen 5000d review yet

[little osprey]

I have a 4000D airflow

[static ravine]

u dont need 500d tho

[little osprey]

Watch GN

[stoic island]

I'd still say P500a is nice

[little osprey]

today

[static ravine]

4000d should be fine

[stoic island]

@little osprey not now

[little osprey]

HE did a review

He*

[stoic island]

lecture time

[little osprey]

lol

[static ravine]

oh no

[little osprey]

I should see a p500a

[sharp tundra]

same

[little osprey]

ive never seen a picture of one

are you getting rid of the 4000D airflow

[stoic island]

Vintage has a p500a

[sharp tundra]

yes

[little osprey]

[stoic island]

Keep 4000d airflow smh

[little osprey]

SMH

[stoic island]

It'd do basically the same as o11

[little osprey]

4000D is great

[static ravine]

4000d much better smh

[little osprey]

SMH

[static ravine]

smhmhmhmh

[little osprey]

Why you buy it

[sharp tundra]

but i getting o11d

[little osprey]

SMH SMH SMH

[sharp tundra]

it was cheap

and good

[little osprey]

Thanks for reminding me to buy a 5000D

[static ravine]

hyuh

[little osprey]

So I can have good airflow

and rad support

[small osprey]

dread has nitro

hmmmmm

[sharp tundra]

i got my 4000d airflow for $60

[small osprey]

@little osprey

[little osprey]

yesss

[stoic island]

P500a >:D

[little osprey]

[static ravine]

Dallas bought him

[little osprey]

swindled a best buy employee

they were like

[sharp tundra]

cough UGLY cough

[little osprey]

here just take it, i'll you can have it for 40

Lol. Socal people are nice here.

it was a steal.

[small osprey]

dallas is poggers

[stoic island]

smh

[static ravine]

P500a is ugly since when

[stoic island]

P500a is nice

[sharp tundra]

i dont like it

think it looks weird

[static ravine]

p500a airflow king

[sharp tundra]

yes

but ugly

[little osprey]

Are you the same person who was originally going for an h510?

I swear someone called the p500a ugly

[sharp tundra]

no, lol

[little osprey]

and was going with a h510 yesterday

Lol

[stoic island]

yea

[small osprey]

yea lmao

[stoic island]

there definitely was someone that went h510 instead of p500a because it looked bad

[little osprey]

Thats honestly quite nice

[static ravine]

P500a nice looking its just bigger p400a

[static ravine]

it is

[little osprey]

p500a is not ugly

[small osprey]

p500a is very nice looking

[little osprey]

First look at it

[stoic island]

imo td500 mesh white looks better than p500a white

[little osprey]

it looks so CLEAN

[small osprey]

just the drgb version too much

[static ravine]

Phanteks A series cases are nice

[stoic island]

but p500a mesh black is better than td500 mesh black

[little osprey]

[sharp tundra]

i said h510 looks nice, but airflow is bleh

[little osprey]

Finally someone who doesn't use NZXT as an oven

Lol

[small osprey]

4000d airflow looks nice as well

[static ravine]

yea

[little osprey]

Corsair RMA allowed me to change colors

[sharp tundra]

yes

[small osprey]

the black looks better than the white imo

[sharp tundra]

but i getting new case

[static ravine]

O11 isnt worth if you have 4000D

[sharp tundra]

o11d

[small osprey]

one of the only cases i think looks better in black

[little osprey]

[static ravine]

its spending money on worse performance

[sharp tundra]

IM NOT KEEPING 400D

[static ravine]

thermally

[static ravine]

what wrong with it?

[little osprey]

Why you buy it then.

[sharp tundra]

nothing

[little osprey]

Seems like a waste.

[sharp tundra]

i just want a different case

[little osprey]

@muted patio

[sharp tundra]

not a waste if i sell it for more then i bought it

[static ravine]

read #rules

[static ravine]

scalping

[little osprey]

We need you vintage

[stoic island]

Vintage wya we gotta teach this man the goods of P500a

[sharp tundra]

nooo

[little osprey]

AND VINTAGE OUR SAVIOR COMES

[sharp tundra]

i bought it for $60]

thats a $90 case

[static ravine]

good deal imo

[south jewel]

Vintage

[stoic island]

@muted patio preach the P500a over o11 please

[static ravine]

nice one at that

[little osprey]

Lmao, laughs in getting it for 40$

BB POG

and yes

p500a good

[small osprey]

the o11d imo looks better

[fossil halo]

kinda late but imagine

[south jewel]

Which one is better airflow wise?

[static ravine]

if u want better case dont go o11 thats a downgrade

[little osprey]

Oh god

[muted patio]

Nothing more to say. Super roomy, easy cable management, airflow is POG, room for 2 360mm rads EZ

[little osprey]

this chat is crowded

lol

[sharp tundra]

yes, so if i sell it for lets say $80, i make profit, and its at discount

[static ravine]

airflow is not great

[fossil halo]

deadass

[small osprey]

yea

airflow not as good

[little osprey]

ah yes

17 emails between me and corsair RMA

[fossil halo]

O11 airflow is not as good since it is not meant to be a high airflow case

but for its looks

its aiflow is far more than adequate

[south jewel]

Fr u sponsored by Corsair?

[stoic island]

P500a better

[fossil halo]

airflow wise

O11 looks better

lets be real

[little osprey]

Im RMAing my 4000D

[fossil halo]

it makes u broke tho

[little osprey]

THe side panel is dented

[small osprey]

i think the normal p500a doesnt look good

[little osprey]

From corsair PSU cables

[gusty abyss]

Would absolutely custom loop in an 011

[fossil halo]

[little osprey]

Stiff pSU cables and small HDD tray.

[fossil halo]

big case really good to work in

[little osprey]

Corsair offered a free placement.

[sharp tundra]

lets talk about the H1

[little osprey]

Replacement.

[sharp tundra]

awesome case

[little osprey]

Its catches on fire though

[sharp tundra]

lol

[little osprey]

Oh I see

the troll.

[fossil halo]

🔥

lmao

[south jewel]

Man Ik that the H510 has bad airflow but I like the way it looks

[little osprey]

This man is trying to troll lmao

[fossil halo]

then

[little osprey]

[fossil halo]

just get the dlm 21 mesh and put non rgb fans with clear blades on the front

[south jewel]

Ik man just everyone bashes it

[fossil halo]

bc its airflow is bad

[muted patio]

Cuz it sucks for airflow

Parts get hot

[little osprey]

^

[muted patio]

NZXT: All looks, no flow

[little osprey]

If your putting a big pgu

gpu

[fossil halo]

flat front panel 99% of the time means sh||o||t airflow

[little osprey]

expect it to run like an oven

It has a puny square mesh

[fossil halo]

flat=no mesh

[jagged ember]

It's fine for low end hardware

[south jewel]

Can sum1 recommend me a case 60-70$

[little osprey]

[jagged ember]

Otherwise burn

[little osprey]

BUt everyone who runs it for like a 3080 lol

[fossil halo]

atx or matx

[south jewel]

Atx

[fossil halo]

oh shoot

idk

lmfao

matx dlm21 mesh anyday

[small osprey]

meshify

[sharp tundra]

4000D airflow

[jagged ember]

Didn't GN have a list of nice airflow cheap cases

[fossil halo]

looks so good and has good airflow

[jagged ember]

Hang on

[south jewel]

I think one is the neo air gear or sum like that

[small osprey]

whichever one is $65

[small osprey]

thats $99

[sharp tundra]

unless its on sale

[little osprey]

tell me this airflow aint pog

[sharp tundra]

it aint pog

[small osprey]

but its not

[south jewel]

Lol

[little osprey]

[jagged ember]

https://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/3630-best-worst-pc-cases-2020

[sharp tundra]

well wait for it to go on sale

[south jewel]

https://tenor.com/view/goku-poggers-johnny-monkey-super-saiyan-gif-19094146

Dw

[small osprey]

the normal 4000d is $70 i think

[jagged ember]

There

[little osprey]

4000D GOOD

[sharp tundra]

i bought it when it was first released for like $40 off

[fossil halo]

gamers nexus is the place to go when asking any question case related

[jagged ember]

4000d good tho yeah

[little osprey]

5000D and 4000D great

[jagged ember]

Just anything airflow related

[hybrid girder]

Yo guys how is my pc looking

[south jewel]

Does he have a discord?

[fossil halo]

@muted patio pin the case tier list

[little osprey]

[jagged ember]

Oh no

[fossil halo]

sorry mine looks better

[little osprey]

Clean setup

[jagged ember]

A 1030....

[little osprey]

Don't judge

[fossil halo]

my gpu is better

[fossil halo]

wow

ok

the channel has been purged

[rustic current]

wdym

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/P3gT3Z

[little osprey]

personally didnt like storage combination 🤔

why 1tb nvme and 500gb sata ssd and 2tb hdd 🤔

also that hdd is not recommended mostly

[rustic current]

you thonk too much lol

the 500 would be for windows

then

[muted patio]

Those seagates tend to fail early

[rustic current]

the 1Tb NVME would be for games that take long to load or programs that take long to load up, and 2Tb just for extra in case

[rustic current]

yeah idk i just picked anything that i saw

which one would you recommend

[muted patio]

Shoot for a WD blue or something

[rustic current]

hmm

[little osprey]

running windows from sata ssd is not nice idea tho

[rustic current]

yea

ik

[muted patio]

If you want every ounce of performance out of that 5900 also go for 4000 mhz ram

[rustic current]

but otherwise id have two NVMes

tru

[muted patio]

2000 fclk

[rustic current]

ill try to find something within price

[muted patio]

If not, downclock to 3800 and tighten timings

[rustic current]

wait does the gigabyte B550 have two gen 4 nvme slots or nah?

[muted patio]

Also, dual rank show more performance than 4 sticks of single rank

[rustic current]

i forgot to check bcs then i could run two nvmes

[muted patio]

IE, 2x16GB kit

[rustic current]

gotta learn how to do that then lol

[muted patio]

Especially if you want to hit 2000 FCLK

[little osprey]

nvme ssd prices are similar to sata ssd and it problably have 2 m2 ports

[muted patio]

Recommended 2 sticks instead of 4

[rustic current]

yea

would you shame me if i told you i wanted 4 slots filled in?

oof 4000 Mhz ram is expensive

most of them are out of stock too lmao

[little osprey]

I bought wd sn550 500gb for 50$ its much better than sata ssd lol (2400 speed)

https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820374105?Description=ddr4 4000&cm_re=ddr4_4000-_-20-374-105-_-Product&quicklink=true

heres one

[muted patio]

I gst why you want them filled

Just pointing it out is all

[worn wave]

The link you sent is a kit of RAM

[rustic current]

understand that is it faster too to do dual ranks

yea i get you

[rustic current]

yeah he knows

oh wait

...

nvm

actually wait yeah

hes responding to what i said about it being expensive

[worn wave]

I thought they were linking the SN550

[little osprey]

lol

[rustic current]

understandable

[muted patio]

Rhat kit is almost same price as the ballistix

Just 2 instead of 4

[rustic current]

ye

and spood

[little osprey]

and it looks so cool

[worn wave]

I got a 32GB kit that can OC to 4000MHz+ for $160

[rustic current]

eh i mean white in a black and red build

[rustic current]

lucky

or well

cool

both

[worn wave]

Ballistix Elite, sadly out of stock currently

[rustic current]

well

im not building this pc soon

maybe in the next month

[rustic current]

so depending on stock availlibity then ill decide what to get

[worn wave]

https://www.newegg.com/ballistix-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820164150?Item=N82E16820164150

[rustic current]

does anyone know if the gigabyte B550 can do two gen 4 NVMEs?

[worn wave]

I dont think so

[rustic current]

ah ok

i dont think the SN550 is gen 4 tho right?

[worn wave]

it aint

[rustic current]

yeah its gen 3

[worn wave]

Why do you need Gen4

[rustic current]

so i could do gen 4 on top slot

[worn wave]

Do you do video editing

[rustic current]

idk

plan to start making content

and edit the vids

hold up

gotta check if the SK Hynix P31 is even Gen 4 too

[worn wave]

it aint

Gen4 drives aint cheap

[rustic current]

weelp

yea

seems it

just loooked one up andddd

moneys

Mr. Krabs could def pay for this

[worn wave]

Only the top slot on most B550 boards will be Gen4 for NVMe

[rustic current]

god im corny

yeah so ive heard

well doesnt matter

bcs both are gen 3

so ill just remove the SSD and get the second NVME for windows

[worn wave]

Cheapest Gen4 currently

but this is on sale

usually is $160

[rustic current]

currently dual booting on a macbook with 500 Gb of storage anddd its not going so well sadly

ouch

speed doe

tbh about the ram im ok with 3600 bcs im not even using the 5900X to its fullest anways

[worn wave]

Then why are you getting a 5900X

[little osprey]

Im using dual gen4s

Well technically i have 2 gen4s

1 in my system

[rustic current]

my dad is offering to get me this pc if i get As and my dumbass is exited even tho im struggling

[little osprey]

since my board is being repaired.

[rustic current]

what happened to it

[little osprey]

M.2 slot running at half speed

[rustic current]

ah

[little osprey]

Prob a factory deffect.

Cause no damage occured.

[rustic current]

wel i mean you payed for the speeds you gonna get the speeds

[worn wave]

Certain X570 boards have the second M.2 slot run at half Gen4 speeds

you know that right

[rustic current]

oh yeah forgot about that

[worn wave]

X570 Pro WS top slot is x4 bottom is x2 for Gen4

[rustic current]

what does he have

[rustic current]

what hard drive should i get btw then

[worn wave]

WD

[vagrant olive]

seagates are fine

[rustic current]

i mean i have had this 1 Tb HDD from seagate on me for three years and nows it hooked up to a macbook

[worn wave]

Depends on the model

[vagrant olive]

plus they have higher rpm

[worn wave]

not always

[vagrant olive]

sry lemme specify

for the 2tb one which is most commonly bought

[rustic current]

and big storage

hmm

[worn wave]

Only Seagate drives I would buy would be Exos personally

[rustic current]

see now i gotta make the right choide with the storage bcs if it breaks im done for

[worn wave]

I plan to buy 2 10tb Exos drives soon

[vagrant olive]

it wont break

ive had my seagate hdd for years and its always been fine

[rustic current]

whatre u gonna do with 20Tb >.>

[worn wave]

Which model

[vagrant olive]

i forget exact but its a 3.5" 1tb

[worn wave]

They make many different 3.5inch 1tb models

[fossil halo]

wow

h d d

[worn wave]

the generic ones are not great

[jagged ember]

Wd has a better track record

Just ask lili

[rustic current]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/XtjG3C/western-digital-internal-hard-drive-wd2003fzex

?

or overpriced lol

[worn wave]

Thats a WD Black

[jagged ember]

Theyll tell you all about how wd is more reliable than seagate

[small osprey]

wd blue 5400rpm 4tb

[rustic current]

different?

wait whats the diff between the blue and the black

[worn wave]

Speed

[rustic current]

and now apparantrly theres red lol

hmm

waitr lemme look back

[worn wave]

theres tons of different drives

Personally I only use WD Red Plus drives for system storage

[jagged ember]

Honestly I'd prefer the 5400rpm 4tb

[worn wave]

but I usually go all SSD

[jagged ember]

I'll use an hdd for storage only

[rustic current]

is it dumb to get a 2.5 inch hard drive?

[worn wave]

very

[little osprey]

so toasty bros have a build that is abt $500 and is built to be upgraded. for it's price and what it's made for is it good? my current setup is in #build-pics

[jagged ember]

Occasional access but not consistently

[rustic current]

cool i have one lmao

[jagged ember]

Red I know is for nas

[rustic current]

didnt realise it was 2.5

[jagged ember]

Blue I think is for consumers and black idk

[rustic current]

should i just go with a 1 TB SSD instead of a 2tb hard drive?

[jagged ember]

Depends

[rustic current]

since i already got 1.5Tb of sotrage without the HDD

[jagged ember]

Do you want more storage?

[small osprey]

500gb ssd and 4tb hdd is good choice

[jagged ember]

Or do you prefer speed?

[rustic current]

i mean i dont even need too much of it

[small osprey]

for around $200 total

[jagged ember]

I like having more storage

[small osprey]

depending on what you get

[jagged ember]

But if access speeds matter more then reconsider

[rustic current]

hmm definitely speed ast this point since in my old pc i didnt even fill up the hard drive thast was 1tb

[small osprey]

honestly the only reason i would get a hdd is for better organization

bc i dont want photos and word docs and stuff on a ssd

[jagged ember]

What'll you be putting on that drive?

[small osprey]

i was wondering

if i had minecraft on a ssd

[rustic current]

games and some like files i guess like vids or my memes

[small osprey]

could i make it so the minecraft screenshots and texture pack folders were on the hdd?

[worn wave]

I am sure there are Forge mods to change those folder locations

[rustic current]

i cant even find my minecraft texture pack folder

[jagged ember]

Should be able to I think

[worn wave]

type %appdata% in search bar

go to .minecraft

[jagged ember]

Change the installation path or something Im guessing

[rustic current]

its that simple...

god that makes me feel simple

is it better to have a smalle ror bigger cache

it might sound stupid but i literally dso not know what a cache is anyways

[small osprey]

cache size doesnt really matter, but it should be 64

[worn wave]

256MB ❤️

[small osprey]

no those are smr drives

[worn wave]

false

There are CMR drives with large caches

[small osprey]

not likely

[worn wave]

WD Gold

[small osprey]

who’s gonna buy that lmao

[rustic current]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/bskwrH/western-digital-internal-hard-drive-wd20ezrz

?

[small osprey]

[small osprey]

[rustic current]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Jd8j4D/western-digital-blue-2-tb-35-5400rpm-internal-hard-drive-wd20ezaz

[rustic current]

256MB cache?

[worn wave]

[rustic current]

thanks

[stoic island]

@small osprey wrong one

[worn wave]

Is that the SMR one

[small osprey]

[stoic island]

-rz is better (cmr), -az is smr

[small osprey]

[worn wave]

[small osprey]

makes sense

[hollow warren]

does anyone here have reccomendations for the best laptop under $1000 for video editing and photo editing? I would love a mac book but they say that the render times on the mac for PREMIRE PRO is not good because it is not optimized? Suggest below please / /

[south jewel]

U sure u just don’t wanna build a pc or do u have one alr and just want portability?

[uncut pelican]

I suggest asus laptops

[hollow warren]

i have a pc already and its a beat

best

beast

but i always have to wait until i get home to start editing my videos and pictures

[south jewel]

Oh so the laptop for portability

[hollow warren]

and i have clients waiting

yeah

[south jewel]

Oh ok

[uncut pelican]

[hollow warren]

listen

i was thinking about the mac because of how fast it is and how simple it is although windows operating system is something that i love also

it would be for purley editing videos and photos and mac is awesome for that

[uncut pelican]

True that

Then get a mac

[jagged ember]

wait

but you could just get something like an envy x360 or something and remote into your desktop

[hollow warren]

also has anyone here downloaded the cracked version of premire pro and had any problems on mac?

[uncut pelican]

Thats a super smart idea

[hollow warren]

i do it on my windows pc and have no problems

i was just wondering about mac

[uncut pelican]

But you have to leave it on

[jagged ember]

i remote into my pc a lot

leaving it on is fine

[stoic island]

I don't think mac works well with cracked stuff

[jagged ember]

if anything it'll make it last longer

[little osprey]

Prob doesn't lol.

[jagged ember]

not much longer, but a bit longer

[hollow warren]

does this work with an sd card like transfering files?

[little osprey]

Most stuff is for windows.

[stoic island]

@hollow warren I'm just gonna ignore the other bits, so, <1000$ editing laptop?

[jagged ember]

sadly, no

[hollow warren]

yes

[jagged ember]

you're going to need to rely on cloud services or a NAS

[stoic island]

Anything else you need to do on it?

[hollow warren]

preferably mac but if theres a beast editing pc thats also good then thats fine

[stoic island]

I'm also gonna assume you'll have enough storage via external drive

[hollow warren]

no purleey editing

[jagged ember]

G15

[hollow warren]

yep

so when i get home i can just start my work on my pc

[jagged ember]

wait, G15 is over 1000

[stoic island]

I'll see if there are any like 5800h laptops

[hollow warren]

if im not donw

done

[stoic island]

but G14 with 4800h was <1000$, I'll take a look

[hollow warren]

ok thank youp

[stoic island]

@hollow warren take a look at this, 4800h should do nicely for editing

Lili stole it from me

I was going to pay for it but the domain stealing [REDACTED] got there first

[fossil halo]

LMFAO

[muted patio]

Do I need to google that word?

[muted patio]

@wanton cliff if I google that word what will I find out?

[little osprey]

[wanton cliff]

Nothing because the word isn’t there and you don’t remember it

[muted patio]

Amazing

[wanton cliff]

And besides, you can’t natively type that Unicode character anyways

Probably

[little osprey]

you can use special alt combos

[muted patio]

Yes

better?

[stoic island]

better

[muted patio]

Build chat kinda slow tonight

Everyone must be F5ing all the websites for 3060's

[little osprey]

Oh Fun Fact

[stoic island]

eh, getting ready to at least

[little osprey]

in november when I purchased my 3070

I had so much time

I did not need to f5

were in stock for a whole 20 minutes

[stoic island]

We'd prob be seeing a lot of "NEWEGG WEBSITE IS BROKEN I CANT GET A CARD" in general when it does come

[little osprey]

I got my card declined twice

lol

[desert gulch]

lol

[wanton cliff]

That’s gonna be annoying, but it’s def gonna happen

[muted patio]

Tomorrow is going to SUCK

[desert gulch]

y

[stoic island]

Oh well

[desert gulch]

i love when ppl come in chat and blame us and get mad at us

[stoic island]

@muted patio maybe, just mayyybe, there's enough stock, and we'll have happy people looking for a build

[muted patio]

Pro-Tip: Don't engage them

[little osprey]

Why is everyone trying to get a 3060.

[desert gulch]

ive learned lol

[little osprey]

Its almost like grandma needs 4k Solitaire.

Also did you hear?

[wanton cliff]

I’ll tell them off for you if you give mike a good word about giving me techie

[little osprey]

3060 hash rate is still 7$ a day

[stoic island]

or, I'll have a lot of mad people yelling at me that they couldn't get a 3060

[little osprey]

Everyone is always enraged after a launch

[muted patio]

Too bad they'll see this post and know I was bribed

[wanton cliff]

Heh

[muted patio]

mods may not post much but they watch

trust

[wanton cliff]

Oh I know

Mike is probably watching right now

[muted patio]

Especially when you edit things and it ends up in the logs

[wanton cliff]

Speaking of, hey Mike!

[little osprey]

Here's money for everyone needing it for a 3060 launch

[wanton cliff]

Hey dread, want to watch me play some Cyberpunk on Saturday in Special VC?

Nightly insomniac ritual

[little osprey]

[wanton cliff]

I’m just sad

[little osprey]

Disassciate?

I can't spell.

Is that like trauma

[muted patio]

No

[wanton cliff]

You know how you always talk about sliding into the void?

It’s like that kinda

[little osprey]

Oh.

[wanton cliff]

[vagrant olive]

[little osprey]

Don't question wegg

[still roost]

Funny? I mean, funny like I'm a clown? I amuse you?

[little osprey]

Can you answer this person's question?

[vagrant olive]

ontrac

[small tinsel]

okay yall. I need a good workstation laptop to do some work stuff on the go (adobe programs, 3d modeling software, UE4, ect)
What do yall recommend? None of the articles I read seemed to agree with one another
I dont want any mid tier stuff. I want a high tier one that will last me a while

[little osprey]

Most of the time desktops are used. Just cause laptops cpu's=ehhh

[wanton cliff]

Thinkpad

[little osprey]

But yeah

[wanton cliff]

Thinkpad

@hollow grail

Thinkpad

[sullen spoke]

Laptops good for some things

[hollow grail]

https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpad-p/c/thinkpadp#compareSection

[small tinsel]

lol I have a good desktop Dread. I need something mobile as well thats why I asked XD

@hollow grail thanks! Ill check this thing out! ❤️

[little osprey]

Yeah thats all i could think of

cause uhh, i don't think tr laptops are made yet

[small tinsel]

tr?

[hollow grail]

or if you just want perf

https://xoticpc.com/collections/sager-clevo-laptops/products/xotic-g170km-g-x170km-g

[wanton cliff]

8 pounds

It’s a good lappy tho

[small tinsel]

@hollow grail wow that thing has some beasty specs. Do you think its better to go thinkpad or that beast?

[wanton cliff]

Tr means Threadripper

Thinkpad lasts longer

[hollow grail]

depends

[wanton cliff]

Physically speaking

[hollow grail]

that laptop defines its battery as a portable UPS

more of a moveable desktop than something youd actually use unplugged

[small tinsel]

XD

[hollow grail]

but yes it will crush the thinkpad

thinkpad will have better build quality though

[little osprey]

LOL

Im gonna buy a uPS to take to school

if teachers don't let me use outlets

smh

[wanton cliff]

It will crush the thinkpad like [REDACTED] Natalie Portman [MULTIPLE REDACTIONS MADE] Samuel Hayden [MULTIPLE REDACTIONS MADE]

[hollow grail]

[small tinsel]

Soo Thinkpad is not as good but built better/will last longer
Xotic is really good but bad battery, heavy, and wont last as long
That about sum it up?

[hollow grail]

thinkpad wins in everything besides raw perfoemance

performance

[little osprey]

More like. Think pad is the best of the best the [REDACTED FOR GOVERNMENT PURCHASES] . Thinkpad outperforms [REDACTED DUE TO NVIDIA]. [Best of the best in its class]

[wanton cliff]

Not that xotic has bad battery, thinkpad’s battery is just a massive car battery

[hollow grail]

that clevo will demolish literally any laptop on the market

[fossil halo]

@stoic island what case was it

[hollow grail]

but also is barely a laptop

[fossil halo]

that you used to recommend

to anyone on a budget

the cougar one

[little osprey]

mx?

[small tinsel]

okay so overall go thinkpad? XD

[wanton cliff]

Go whichever

[hollow grail]

depends what you care about

id say thinkpads/dell precision are better at being laptops

[wanton cliff]

Dell?

Eh

[hollow grail]

the clevo is better at being a somewhat mobile workstation

[wanton cliff]

I’ve never used the precision line

[hollow grail]

dell is fantastic

[wanton cliff]

My phone dying so see ya
