btw, Corsair mp510 has some weird write issues for a lot of people

bold turret
#

had it over a year been fine

stoic island
#

not too noticeable, but easily noticeable in CDM

bold turret
#

the one got rn

stoic island
#

I have one, writes dropped down to ~1gb/s after a while in cdm, from closer to 3gb/s out of box

bold turret
#

oh dam

#

how to tell

stoic island
#

Basically, if it doesn't affect your day to day, don't worry about it

bold turret
#

i do alot of rending tho

fossil cedar
bold turret
#

so moving large files every day

stoic island
#

if you haven't noticed it, ignore it

fossil cedar
#

Acc wouldn't pay more than 120 cuz they used

stoic island
#

I've spent too long looking for a solution

I was checking out flash drives earlier to replace one my kid broke and I found one usb 3.1 drive rated at 200MB/S that had a random read speed measured in the low tens of kilobytes

D'oh

that bot is dumb

stoic island
#

corporate discord be lik

potent portal

But it's kinda required for our server

fossil cedar
#

extensions run in the background the whole time

potent portal
#

Be careful going around the filter too

bold turret
#

alright

#

just bit salty

potent portal
#

That's a bannable offense

#

Yeah just be careful

bold turret
#

got 2 tabs open in google rn and shows up 33

stoic island
#

extensions?

bold turret
#

ad blocker only

#

do u think thats it?

fossil cedar
#

so any extension you dont have disabled is running rn

stoic island
#

end chrome, disable every chrome extension you currently have

#

and open chrome again

potent portal
#

That and chrome is known for memory leaks in general

fossil cedar
#

use brave instead ❀️

stoic island
#

I mean, the "33" that's showing up is the annoying bit atm

#

brave is wack

fossil cedar
#

:o

#

how dare you

fossil cedar
potent portal
#

Iceweasel was a fun fork while it lasted

stoic island
#

what

#

I'm chrome all the way

#

pretty sure brave was the one with the questionable owner

bold turret
#

dam

fossil cedar
#

i prefer the look of chrome on desktop is better but i use brave on mobile

bold turret
#

opended it on 16

#

and went back to 30

stoic island
#

I like bromite on mobile

#

fairly simple

fossil cedar
bold turret
#

actually now went back to 36

stoic island
#

Questionable meaning contraversal opinion people

#

it was either brave or opera

fossil cedar
#

opera

#

opera sketchy

potent portal
#

Probably opera yeah

stoic island
#

don't want to get political

bold turret
fossil cedar
#

brave was literally made by the guy that created JS and helped with firefox

stoic island
#

@bold turret while in chrome, press shift+esc

fossil cedar
#

woah i dint know there was a chrome task manager cool

stoic island
#

fair

bold turret
#

k what am i looking for

stoic island
#

what's on there

#

because if you just opened chrome

#

there should be basically nothing other than the utility thingies

bold turret
stoic island
#

why so many renderers lmao

potent portal
#

Disable hardware acceleration

bold turret
#

no clue whyu

stoic island
#

that's probably it

potent portal
#

Or enable if it is disabled

bold turret
#

still here

#

after turned it off

potent portal
#

Did you restart Chrome after toggling

bold turret
#

mhm

potent portal
#

Hmm

bold turret
#

so

rich helm
#

@molten oar ngl that’s a confusing airflow configuration you have there

urban trellis
#

lets go just got my new pc with a 3060 ti in it

#

hard optimized it

rich helm
#

Oc?

urban trellis
#

gotta change my custom profile lol

#

imma oc in a bit

ember mica
#

Question

fossil cedar
#

shoot

ember mica
#

Kinda dumb but

#

the fan headers on my mobo are 4 pin but the fan cable headers are 3 pins is that an issue

stoic island
#

Ask it

rich helm
#

Nope

stoic island
#

That's okay, the 4th pin is just for pwm

ember mica
#

Oh ok

#

Thanks

muted patio
#

Just be sure to set fan mode in BIOS to DC instead of PWM

median grotto
#

my 6600k is laterally gonna explode its overclocked to 4.4ghz its rated for 3.9 max πŸ’€

stoic island
#

Uh

median grotto
#

3.5 stock

stoic island
#

I think you'll be surprised

fossil cedar
stoic island
median grotto
stoic island
#

:p

median grotto
#

how he gonna keep his temp regulated tho he must have a helecopter over it

muted patio
#

I had a 400 mhz OC on my 4590 for years with the stock cooler

stoic island
#

Lol

median grotto
#

is overclocking my cpu worth it?

stoic island
#

Not really most of the time tbf

median grotto
#

overclocking may be the reason why so much of ram has craped out on me

#

@stoic island do you over clock your system at all

stoic island
#

Depends

muted patio
#

Most of the techies do at some point XD

stoic island
#

(I think they're talking about daily, not just for hwbot)

fossil cedar
#

Over clock your ram if you're on Ryzen tbh bigger increase than cpu oc on ryzen

muted patio
#

If you count PBO with tweaks as OC then yes

stoic island
#

My 3800x is just crap

#

So 4ghz all core at 1.25v it is

muted patio
#

So is my 3700x

#

Sad that Warhol refresh was canceled

#

Now we have to wait for AM5

stoic island
#

Oh well

fossil cedar
#

I mean pbo great, most cant manual oc better than it

median grotto
muted patio
#

GO Intel then, intel better on the budget end anyway

fossil cedar
muted patio
#

Even a 10400 would run circles around a 6600

stoic island
#

Ya

strange wadi
stoic island
#

10100 might even

muted patio
#

Probs 2022

stoic island
#

I think it'll be very interesting to see how performance scales with ddr5 in normal tasks

muted patio
#

ALthough it sounds like we're getting XT cpu's now

#

:/

fossil cedar
#

:/

stoic island
#

Lol

strange wadi
#

Maybe it's part of the plan

fossil cedar
#

Amds evil plan yes

#

It's cuz they're making zen 4 come quicker

rich helm
#

my 10600k cant even do 4.9 ghz stable oc

#

😐

#

4.8 is stock boost

fossil cedar
#

F

median grotto
rich helm
#

but then my other 10600k can do 5.1 so we are vibing

stoic island
#

Intel boosting is so weird

muted patio
#

It's a lot easier to do on boards that ignore power limits lol

stoic island
#

There's the TB, the TBM, and the TVB

#

Might even be more

wicked frigate
#

Guys how long does 80 plus gold psu last

fossil cedar
#

Until it breaks

wicked frigate
#

Well how do ik when it breaks smoke????

median grotto
#

idk ive had my bronze for like 6 years

fossil cedar
#

Usually 8 year warranty or something i think iirc

median grotto
fossil cedar
#

I've a white 80+ that's 7 years old still going

#

80 + has nothing to do with quality

#

Just power efficiency

median grotto
#

i have an 11 yearold bronze in my closet psu's last pretty long

wicked frigate
#

Is 80 plus platinum the highest

#

Also what’s wow gold bronze platinum mean

fossil cedar
#

Yes but it's useless

muted patio
#

Doesnt' mean it will last longer

wicked frigate
#

80 plus

muted patio
#

Just get a gold rated quality PSU

wicked frigate
#

I have a good one

muted patio
#

TIt and Plat aren't worth the premium

fossil cedar
#

Just how efficient it is at getting power basically

wicked frigate
#

What’s better 650 gold or 750 bronze friend wondering

muted patio
#

Also, all psu's lose power output over time due to caps drying out

fossil cedar
median grotto
muted patio
#

There are good and bad of both

wicked frigate
#

Supernova

#

???

muted patio
#

Supernova what

fossil cedar
#

Which supernova

stoic island
#

there's so many

muted patio
#

There's 100 different models of Supernova XD

wicked frigate
#

Let me ask him

stoic island
#

like 20 models at least

wicked frigate
muted patio
#

Age

median grotto
#

thats like saying you have an nvidea gpu

muted patio
#

It's literally just age

#

and heat

Depends

#

5-10

stoic island
#

depends depends depends

wicked frigate
#

Ok

stoic island
#

things on paper don't translate well to reality

muted patio
#

Right

#

Should get at least 5 years out of a good, quality PSU

stoic island
#

ymmv really

wicked frigate
#

Ok

muted patio
#

And IMO, most EVGA aren't great PSU. The great ones are all over 1000W

fossil cedar
stoic island
#

meh

muted patio
fossil cedar
#

In my dads pc now

stoic island
#

w1 is uh

fossil cedar
muted patio
#

yeah

#

Not really

median grotto
muted patio
#

Depending on use and load conditions, might only last 5 years if you're maxing it out

wicked frigate
#

Will rmx 1000 watt run fine

fossil cedar
muted patio
#

If you're only using 60% of capacity might last a lot longer

#

It really, really depends

fossil cedar
wicked frigate
#

I might run 2

muted patio
#

wat

fossil cedar
fossil cedar
wicked frigate
#

Gpu

fossil cedar
#

But what gpu

median grotto
wicked frigate
#

3080 or higher

wicked frigate
median grotto
#

just use one sli is poorly optimised

fossil cedar
#

1000w are at a huge premium atm because of mining so idk if it's worth the premium

muted patio
#

Only SLI you can do is 3090

#

So

wicked frigate
#

Oh

#

Ok

muted patio
#

Can't SLI 3080 and it's not worth it

fossil cedar
#

Also unless you were just using the 2nd 3080 for only mining

wicked frigate
#

What about 3090 and 3080

fossil cedar
#

If you just wanna mine on one of them sure

median grotto
#

has to be same card 3080 dont have sli

muted patio
#

You can't use them both to game

fossil cedar
#

But you can't game on both

muted patio
#

ONly one at a time XD

median grotto
#

lmao

fossil cedar
#

1 3090 or 1 3080

wicked frigate
#

I see

fossil cedar
#

Also sli hasn't been relivant for years

median grotto
#

ye

wicked frigate
#

What would the other one be used for ???

fossil cedar
#

Mining

wicked frigate
#

Streaming

fossil cedar
#

No

wicked frigate
#

??

muted patio
#

For 3090, SLI is used for cad and other 3d rendering

wicked frigate
#

Ok

earnest olive
#

you can still use multi gpu for rendering/productivity workloads/mining

fossil cedar
#

Only use would be mining

earnest olive
#

but it does nothing in games

wicked frigate
#

Ok

earnest olive
#

in some case it decreases your performance in games

wicked frigate
#

When will stocks be normal any idea

fossil cedar
muted patio
#

2023 for sure, anything ebfore that is a guess

fossil cedar
earnest olive
#

I saw a benchmark of 2 2080tis in nvlink performing 40% worse than single 2080ti in a lot of games

wicked frigate
#

Dang

median grotto
earnest olive
#

that's

#

literally what he just said

#

lol

fossil cedar
wicked frigate
#

Thx guys

Still like 5+ years ago lol

#

gtx 970 came out in 2014

7 years ago

#

just looked over at my gf's gtx 970 it does indeed have an sli connector

#

time to slap another gtx 970 into her rig lmao

fossil cedar
#

Nice lol

Ryft#0113 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

fossil cedar
#

Mine does

median grotto
earnest olive
#

yeah I think her board has 2 x16 slots

#

hard to see

fossil cedar
#

Dont just use pcie x1 slots some have 2x16

earnest olive
#

oh the x16 is at the very bottom

#

so can't plug in a gpu

median grotto
#

oof

earnest olive
#

don't use userbenchmark

median grotto
#

1070 is suppirior

earnest olive
#

userbenchmark bad

median grotto
#

but the 1070ti is basicly a 2060 except for rtx performance

empty cipher
#

Yeey

median grotto
#

tell me im wrong

earnest olive
#

is that unexpected or something

empty cipher
#

Nah

#

Only if it had RTX tho

median grotto
#

it does

earnest olive
#

id rather have the 2060 due to DLSS

empty cipher
#

I mean the performance.

earnest olive
#

x60 sku being similar to last gen x70 sku is pretty normal

empty cipher
#

Yeah

earnest olive
#

3060 is pretty similar to 2070

empty cipher
#

I rather have a 3070 ti lol

earnest olive
#

1060 pretty close to 970

#

1660 pretty close to 1070

empty cipher
#

Yeah, 1060 ti was wack though

earnest olive
#

1660ti?

median grotto
empty cipher
#

1060 ti is a laptop gpu

earnest olive
#

?

median grotto
earnest olive
#

1060ti does not exist

empty cipher
#

It sucks worse than the actual 1060 ,-,

earnest olive
#

it's not in the TPU database

empty cipher
#

It is a NIVIDIA GPU in laptops only. Only reason I know this is because my ASUS Notebook had its drivers downloaded.

median grotto
#

yall ever heard of the 1010

empty cipher
#

I heard that it was pretty bad.

earnest olive
#

perhaps you are thinking about the 1650ti, the only recent laptop gpu that doesn't have a desktop counterpart

median grotto
little osprey
#

Hey could anyone put together a 1200 USD build (1500 CAD) for me and dm it to me? My toaster of a laptop needs replacement

median grotto
#

yeah just get a used gpu a gt1030 and 16gs of ram cheap case

earnest olive
#

the closest thing to a 1060ti would be the unreleased 8gb gddr5x 1060

#

1060 with the vram of a 1080

median grotto
#

so its pretty gud i assume the 1080 is 10gb

earnest olive
#

1080 is 8gb

median grotto
#

8*

empty cipher
#

Yoo like I have a case and a motherboard rn.

median grotto
empty cipher
#

As a work in progress build lol

#

For my gf

median grotto
#

oh nice

empty cipher
#

It was parts out of my computer that I upgraded from the week after I got my desktop.

median grotto
#

i just gave my friend my old 6870 build for free πŸ’€

#

ddr3 ram

empty cipher
#

6870??? Jeez m8.

median grotto
#

yeah 512mb πŸ˜‚

#

and a i7 860

empty cipher
#

Imagine have an 11 y/o gpu lmao

#

BROOOOO

median grotto
#

he just playes fall guys gta it runs both

empty cipher
#

I feel bad for your friend if he tries to play something like Siege πŸ˜‚

median grotto
#

idk how it runs gta

#

its magic

empty cipher
#

Probably rough.

#

The Radeon 6870 was weak for its time still. Was it not?

median grotto
#

at 1600x900 it runs at abt 50fps

empty cipher
#

Oh gosh...

median grotto
empty cipher
#

Oh, I think I might be thinking of the one that came in 2011 or 2012

median grotto
empty cipher
#

It came out in 2010 I thought?

median grotto
#

idk havent looked into it

empty cipher

Guys is it called 90 percent isopropyl alcohol. The solution to remove thermal paste

#

Can it be 90 or higher

earnest olive
#

ehh even 70 is fine

#

I use 70

wicked frigate
#

Ok

fossil cedar
#

yeah 90% or higher is fine

earnest olive
#

just don't get it everywhere

wicked frigate
#

Ok thx

#

Lol

fossil cedar
#

higher better tho evaporated quicker

earnest olive
#

cause the other 10-30% is water lol

wicked frigate
#

Ok

#

Ok thx

wicked frigate
earnest olive
#

yeah

#

I've used 70% for like 30 builds

#

cause that's just what we had on hand

#

never had problems

#

even wiping directly on motherboard pcb

#

when I accidentally spilled thermal paste on it lol

wicked frigate
#

Wait

#

What do u use to remove it

#

Paper towel

#

Napkin

#

No where

#

Only the top of the cpu right

earnest olive
#

napkin would be better

#

paper towel rougher

#

can cause scratches on some things

wicked frigate
#

Ok

#

And on the top

#

Of the cpu right

#

The whole top

empty cipher
#

I would use a very soft rag that you aren't going to use again.

wicked frigate
#

Ok

empty cipher
#

If it is just for the CPU

#

Now a paper towel would work great if you're cleaning the motherboard itself.

#

I am nowhere near professional so I am trying to help out the best I can! :)

wicked frigate
empty cipher
#

Yes

wicked frigate
#

And can u run the whole top

empty cipher
#

Don't do anything with the pins if it is an AMD

wicked frigate
#

R the areas that have

empty cipher
#

Wdym run the whole top?

wicked frigate
#

Wait can u just place it in the socket and than do it to make sure nothing happen to the pins

#

Wait let me get a pic

lament fulcrum
#

sleeved cables just as good as cable mod?

empty cipher
#

Okay

#

Uh, can not help you with that one chief.

#

I just have mine Zip tied.

wicked frigate
#

This and rub the whole top

image0.jpg
empty cipher
#

Just softly do the top of the CPU.

wicked frigate
lament fulcrum
#

im just putting together a part list, figure id go with cablemod since the money is spent

wicked frigate
#

Like the cpu placed in the socket

empty cipher
#

Uh, I wouldn't recommend as much. Especially if you're using rag.

wicked frigate
#

K

empty cipher
#

Mhm

lament fulcrum
#

i used alcohol swabs

#

only thing is i end up using a lot

#

but they're like 2.50 for 400

empty cipher
#

That's not bad.

#

My gf's aunt got 150 for $5 from walmart.

wicked frigate
#

Guys u know how if u ship today I get 5% off

#

What holiday has the best discount

#

Also do I guys recommend me build my pc at pence or like do as much as I can and rest nextday

median grotto
#

to remove thermalpaste off cpu not mobo

#

what would melt the mobo

uneven oar
#

Alcohol pads, perfect cleanup and disposable

fossil cedar
#

90% alcohol and kitchen roll just as good tbh

uneven oar
#

I'm meticulous over towel shedding. 90 and qtips good too

molten oar
#

@sinful saddle nice for a first build

uneven oar
lament fulcrum
#

does anybody have pics of white pc builds with custom cables? im trying to see what kinda color combo config would look best

uneven oar
lament fulcrum
#

like if i should make it straight white or put some black in there with it

molten oar
#

There is a pic like your saying in the build pics not too far in chat

sinful saddle
uneven oar
lament fulcrum
#

well there IS gonna be some black in there

#

the case isn't even all white

#

but im wondering how i should do my cables

molten oar
#

White sounds

uneven oar
#

White cables unless you are rgb, then get the lain li streamers

molten oar
#

Cool

uneven oar
#

Lemme find the pic

#

Dang, not here. Sorry. But if I had ado over I would do black and white

wicked frigate
wicked frigate
# uneven oar Your pace

also would it be ok to install stuff in the mobo today and aio and fans time and cable management the next day

fossil cedar
#

Yeah that's fine just dont leave it out in the sun or within access of water or lots of dust

uneven oar
#

After turning off the power of course

lament fulcrum
#

what im really asking is what you think would look better

#

something like this

#

mix of b&w

uneven oar
#

That's sexy

fossil cedar
lament fulcrum
#

or straight white

fossil cedar
uneven oar
#

Yeah black and white hands down

fossil cedar
#

Where you getting the extensions btw?

#

Don't want sketchy cables

lament fulcrum
#

they wont be extensions

fossil cedar
#

Because they can have different pinout

rich helm
#

That’s the cable mod website

lament fulcrum
#

they'll just be cables big enough to go to the psu

uneven oar
fossil cedar
fossil cedar
rich helm
lament fulcrum
#

yeah

#

ik its going to rm750x white

fossil cedar
rich helm
#

I think he’s getting ones to replace the modular cables

lament fulcrum
#

they'll pretty much be replacing the modulars

rich helm
#

Which are just cables at that point

lament fulcrum
#

yeah

fossil cedar
lament fulcrum
#

after dealing with extensions in current build

#

just gonna do whole sleeved cables

fossil cedar
#

Nice

uneven oar
#

I prefer extensions only so I don't have to yank them off the MB if there is an issue...can detach from the extension.

earnest olive
#

aren't cable replacements like 5 times the price of cable extensions

#

you can get good white cable extensions for like $20

lament fulcrum
#

mmmm

uneven oar
fossil cedar
rich helm
# lament fulcrum

Unless you going for that white and black theme with black rgb fans I would do all white

fossil cedar
lament fulcrum
#

yeah i put it in

fossil cedar
earnest olive
#

pretty much all white builds are white and black

lament fulcrum
#

thats one of the first things it asked

rich helm
#

Black and white look good if you have black rgb fans in an white case

fossil cedar
earnest olive

so if im going for black n white right

i was gonna get a corsair 360 rad thats white

Why is the founders the only one that had 8 pin for 3070

because founder edition is the only 3070 that sticks to the 220W tdp

Unless you can get 5600x for 250 somehow not worth

you flip it around

Oh that aloha system...ASCII screen savers and first gen touch screen

wifi can be useful even if you have ethernet

for example, if your home internet goes out you can use wifi to connect to a hotspot

one time i finished a league match on phone hotspot after home internet went out lol

Hotspots cause service providers to bust your front door in and demand you stop using so much data kekw

then buy your budget build

So if it's a show build and not really doing anything, cheap it out and get tons of RGB and bling it.

most popular graphics card is still gtx 1060

people can't afford upgrades in this market lol

it's gonna replace my current build

lol i did a build for a customer with rgb and intel integrated graphics

Are you sticking with rgb? What system (corsair, aura..), that would determine what else to get
