[keen marsh]

What resolution are you at

[brittle lagoon]

also why do you want lower GPU usage?

or is that temperature?

[stoic kayak]

1920x1080

[stoic kayak]

the reason because idk why im hitting 100% on my gpu i try everything and it drop a bit but im between 60-100

on my gpu

[brittle lagoon]

it should be 100% if you're not CPU bound

or you're limiting it somehow

[stoic kayak]

right now my cpu is at 24-31 gpu is at 63

[brittle lagoon]

that sounds like normal gta being unoptimized

[stoic kayak]

ok koo thank god

[slow sluice]

Lower latency maybe, but theoretically higher bandwidth

All but the best SSDs have a single chip of relatively slow dram on board

[brittle lagoon]

Usually like 2666 lol

[brittle lagoon]

even some of the best, on s70 blade it's just ddr4-2666 dram

Hynix gives themselves 4266 on p41 because hynix and why not

[slow sluice]

Sometimes even slower, mp34 uses ddr3L

https://www.nanya.com/en/Product/4114/NT5CC128M16JR-DI

[brittle lagoon]

yea

[slow sluice]

A whopping 200MB/s of transfer

[brittle lagoon]

doesn't really matter that much, it's just some metadata

[slow sluice]

Yup

[brittle lagoon]

not like you're using it as an actual cache
like the usually huge pslc cache on drives

[slow sluice]

The big thing is increased latency, but HMB lets you queue up requests

So overall latency of the drive will be lower, but as long as it has a good implementation and you're hitting it with any sort of queue depth the overall throughput isn't actually affected that much

[daring depot]

Lots of good stuff for sale nowdays

[brittle lagoon]

shouldn't be that bad anyways

[slow sluice]

Nope

A good controller will have a small amount of sram cache on board to help smooth things out

[brittle lagoon]

I mean all decent controllers should, and that's separate from the dram we think about

[slow sluice]

Yes, but it can be used for the same thing

[brittle lagoon]

Not for storing the metadata, it's like the interim cache afaik

like dram -> sram -> controller

[slow sluice]

All depends on the design really

[steel wren]

sn550 besto waifu

[brittle lagoon]

yea its wacky too much that goes into it

[jolly inlet]

Is that a 2.1 HDMI cable or "2.1"?

I doubt we'll ever know because HDMI versions are all screwy

[grave delta]

fwiw the monoprice page for the SKU states that it's certified

https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=42683

https://www.microcenter.com/product/650539/amd-5-5600-oem-(heatsink-not-included),-asus-b450m-pro-s-tuf-gaming-amd-am4-microatx-cpu-motherboard-combo/

$180 in store only

[pulsar fable]

Just got one of those yesterday

[jolly inlet]

Certified means nothing when the group responsible for specs said you can label 2.0 things as 2.1 and they don't care

[grave delta]

Yeah, if it was a mystery brand on amazon I'd pass, but monoprice is trustworthy imo

usually

[light holly]

I need a white one 😛

[grave delta]

https://www.amazon.com/RUST-OLEUM-331181-Painters-Touch-White/dp/B0787D8PYT

[light holly]

This won't chip and peel away from the cord being bent?

[grave delta]

I wasn't serious, buy a white cable

[light holly]

I take you seriously. I respect your knowledge and input.

I'll try and find one.

[sonic grail]

What is woot?

And why is it cheaper than the actual amazon site?

[jolly inlet]

It's like overstock.com, which sells things from stores (mainly Big Lots) that they have too many of and can't sell

[small token]

a lot of Woot's stuff is also refurb

[sonic grail]

Gotchaa.

I saw a pair of $16 crocs I'm tempted now lol.

[jolly inlet]

Ooh link? I need a new pair

[sonic grail]

Ohh I mean 15.

https://sport.woot.com/offers/crocs-unisex-adult-classic-clogs-lemon?ref=mwj_cd_deal_10

[jolly inlet]

Oh yellow lol

Not really my color

[cinder kiln]

Duuuude

[sonic grail]

What color you like?

[cinder kiln]

Crocs for OC sesh

[sonic grail]

[grand orbit]

What a steal

[molten vapor]

It’s not advertised online but I checked my local target and they have the steelseries gamer bundle for $65. Includes keyboard, mouse, headset, mousepad.

[fervent elk]

Unorthodox deal: get a free 6 amp battery when you purchase this Milwaukee Cordless Circular Saw lol

https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-M18-FUEL-18V-Lithium-Ion-Brushless-Cordless-7-1-4-in-Circular-Saw-Tool-Only-2732-20/307743783

[vague pine]

ew milwaukee? all my homies rep dewalt 😤

free batt do sound kinda nice tho

[sonic grail]

Yeahh but then I realized I can't get it because I'm size 8.

[fervent elk]

dewalt usually has promotions if that’s your preference

i like the red tools more tho >:)

[fleet marlin]

I stick to Red, but that saw + batt definitely isn't much of a deal. For anything near $250 I'd be looking at the badass rear handle left side blade which is similar to a normal Mag77 Skilsaw. . I do already have that 2735 & it is handy for certain cuts, plus obviously it's lighter than the rear-handle model.

[fervent elk]

Yeah the mag77 is hard to beat

The few times ive used it i was blown away by how it just doesn’t slow down when youre cutting like it’s extremely torquey

Though circular saws arent a tool i use every day so its why i keep my corded 12 amp ryobi saw around lol

[sonic grail]

Huhh.

So we can return items that don't fit.

But we can't test if it fits?

This is for zoot.

[steel wren]

unworn means no walking on them, you can test them like putting them on no problem, just like a shoe store

[light holly]

basically.. make sure you carpet is super clean.. Put them on, walk around that clean carpet a little to see if they fit and are comfy.. if not then return them

if they look like they were worn outside or on a dirty surface they would most likely say you went for a jog around the block

[steel wren]

they cant notice the difference if you try it a lil while on your room... unless you told them

[sonic grail]

Ahh ok.

I won't tell them.

https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-aorus-z690-aero-g-ddr4/p/N82E16813145346?Item=N82E16813145346 deal?

[elder ingot]

No

[marsh sphinx]

might anyone know a good dash cam that can record 4k front and 1080p rear?

doesnt have to include a sd or micro sd card. Bought one already thats V30 and A2

[stoic crest]

Most of them honestly has meh quality

I would watch ltt vid about that

[cloud hornet]

Funny how I was thinking of doing DIY for just a slight quality upgrade for dash cams. Apparently Ill be getting a large upgrade for recording quality as there are very few OEMs out there

[grave delta]

Watch the linus vid on them

[grave delta]

If you want to make links shorter @azure pond https://www.newegg.com/p/2SA-000U-00007

[azure pond]

Ye on mobile, sorry

My phone annoying with back spacing

[cinder kiln]

ye that's def the better buy

but EK basic is nice if you want something more aesthetically pleasing

indood

Or now 140 on LS720

as much as I like it

build a pc but only put fans inside

evolve the meta

I'm walking a fine line rn between life and death and regret nothing

[grand orbit]

@light holly

[light holly]

Eh. My galhad 360 gives me almost 10c better temps than the LFII 360

[grand orbit]

Didn't you have one of the dodgy lf2 models tho

Also is that at full load or something cuz lf2 isn't best at 100% fan speed

[light holly]

Yes full load

[grand orbit]

Ah yeah

Lf2 best noise/perf

Ultimate would be like lf2 + phanteks t30 fans probs

[light holly]

Idk, I don't even run my galahad full blast like I had to with my lf2

[cinder kiln]

LS720 + T30's

[grand orbit]

Why ls720?

[cinder kiln]

Ravell says I'm a shill so ima shill

[grand orbit]

Lol

[grand orbit]

But actually lf2 because thiccer

[cinder kiln]

but LS720 better pump

And fwiw Eisbaer pro is also kinda stonks

[grand orbit]

Stonks

[steel wren]

can confirm 💯

still a ls720 with t30s sounds like pure dope

https://tenor.com/view/credit-card-smacking-credit-card-on-table-gif-21340324

[cinder kiln]

T30 anything tbh

[steel wren]

now i have some very very bad ideas

my wallet

[cinder kiln]

whatever you're thinking, not worth

[steel wren]

but but 3000rpm go broooommmmmm

[grave delta]

For anyone looking for the god-tier usb drive - put that p31 in one of these https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Type-C-Tool-Free-Enclosure-EC-SNVE/dp/B08RVC6F9Y

I use something similar for ventoy

[cinder kiln]

I've always wondered about those, they use the full bandwidth?

[steel wren]

yeah i saw the bacca link already, i hate when he do that e_e

need to resist the urge to buy things, must...not...be....kenzie

[grave delta]

Limited by usb-c, but it's very fast

[cinder kiln]

interesting

[grave delta]

I'm told that enclosure has the (good) controller fwiw

I have an older one and it's still great

[cinder kiln]

I might consider that at some point

I have external HDD's but they're kinda full rn

[steel wren]

still usb-c speed is quite fast

[cinder kiln]

not that I truly need it

[grave delta]

usb-c is just the connector, depends what bus it's on

[cinder kiln]

10gbps usb 3 ye?

or is that 3.1

[cloud hornet]

SPEED: USB 3.2 supports data transmission speeds of up to 10Gbps for steady and efficient data transfer. Backward compatible with USB 3.1 and USB 3.0 at respective speed limits
Gotta love USB naming scheme. Only supports upto 3.2.2/3.1.2

[cinder kiln]

welp

3.2 smh

can't wait for usb 4.0 v2.0

revision 3

[cloud hornet]

Without knowing bandwidth stuff, kinda does make it sound like it supports 3.2.2x2 which it doesnt. Heck USB-IF

[grave delta]

Here's the P31 over a 20 gbps port off my sage

[cloud hornet]

USB 420

[cinder kiln]

wonder what that looks like with an mp33 instead

[grave delta]

If you do this - put ventoy on the drive

[cinder kiln]

what's ventoy

[grave delta]

Bootloader that lets you boot other isos on the drive

[cinder kiln]

OOOOO

YES

I want to do this now

[grave delta]

You'll never see windows install so fast

[brittle lagoon]

@stable valve didn't expect to see you here, but anyways, 60$ for 16gb isn't the greatest when this is a thing
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09MLX5Z1D

[grave delta]

Yeah, when you shake the enclosure, you don't feel the drive wobbling around, just need to get the right size thermal pad, at least for the controller on most drives

P31's draw very little power though

[stable valve]

ah i see now

but rgb

[slow sluice]

If you're going to pay the RGB tax, spend it on nice looking RGB

[steel wren]

like some neo skillz 😛

[sonic grail]

Does anyone know what's a fair price for used Asus rog strix 1070 oc?

[slow sluice]

100-150

[opal flume]

Free

[jolly inlet]

Fun stuff, even original 3.0 5gb can be called 3.2

[grave delta]

lol and it doesn't help that they've redefined a few of the standards, 3.1, 3.2 or something over the years

What a pain

[cinder kiln]

I love being both wrong and right

[jolly inlet]

Technically correct is the best kind of correct

uwu gpu

[opaque pelican]

Is Yeston a good brand? Im looking at their anime waifu gpu and I know each brand makes them a little differently and the performances are different too

[prisma cosmos]

Yeston is good but costly

[brittle lagoon]

Unless something is wrong with it, and there's nothing wrong with yeston GPUs that I know of, performance difference tends to be negligible

[azure pond]

Yeah, 1-2%

Main diff is cooling, which yeston is mid tier iirc

[fleet marlin]

It's funny people crap on msi or asus & get evga for "service", then there's plenty of others who'll get gpu from somewhere like Yeston. (although price factoring the GC was great)

[light holly]

Then there is the strix nubs.

[fleet marlin]

Be (nearly) the best or cry like the rest.

[azure pond]

$900 3080 ti fe at best buy, kinda funny

[slow sluice]

it smells weird

[azure pond]

So does rawr but we still like him

[slow sluice]

we do?

[brittle lagoon]

lol

[obtuse igloo]

🤣 🤣 🤣 They should bake it for a party.

[sonic grail]

There were better yeston deals tbh.

I think they are really trying to sell their stock rn.

Oh actually it was almost the same price but with a yeston yintong doll.

[fair moon]

there was also one that came with some rgb fans

[shut spoke]

Darn

Should’ve waited for the white 5000x

[grand orbit]

Evga clc 280 for 55$

[pulsar fable]

Nice

[pulsar fable]

Yeah I know it's been a week, but the ryzen 5800h 3060 version of this laptop just went down to $950
https://slickdeals.net/f/16051111-dell-g15-15-6-fhd-ips-165hz-rtx-3060-130w-16gb-ddr4-512gb-ssd-944-99?src=catpagev2

I'd still wait to see what new laptops have in store, but this aint bad, especially compared to the $1100 3050 device

if for nothing else, new laptops may push older laptop prices down a bit

[loud sandal]

👀

[stoic crest]

that's nuts

[pulsar fable]

Nuts enough to put into #tech-deals ?

[stoic crest]

yep

[grand orbit]

@fiery zephyr might want to add a price (also just "rx 6650xt msi gaming x" is more than enough for the model name

[fiery zephyr]

Just sent a link lol should have shortened it

Amazon adds a bunch of extra crap

Thx tho

@grand orbit

[grand orbit]

No worries

[grand orbit]

Psst add a price pls

Nvm I'm blind

[fiery zephyr]

Nah i legit just added it lol

[grand orbit]

Ah okay lol

[azure pond]

Don't feel like positing, $90 1650 on b stock

[grand orbit]

Sweet

[fiery zephyr]

6650xt is a great gpu for the price

Only draws 175w too

[pulsar fable]

@azure pond dang that Lenovo beats my Dell by quite a bit. Nice find

[azure pond]

Yeah, some nice sales

[stoic crest]

okay

the legion 5 on gamestop makes me just want to pay shipping and get someone to ship it to me

lol

[azure pond]

I'd volunteer but we don't know eachother that well

[stoic crest]

i have someone i can trust

[azure pond]

I wouldnt trust some random dude I've talked to like five times lmao

Oh sick

I'd buy it then

Which one?

[stoic crest]

the 8 gigs one

ram is cheap enough anyway

[azure pond]

Gonna upgrade it yourself?

Yeah fair

[stoic crest]

ye

[azure pond]

Extra 500gb is nice too, but can always just use an ehdd

That's what I used to do

[stoic crest]

eh it's like still a few months away until money comes anyway

but for that low of a price, i can also easily afford an extra ssd

i'll see what happens by then lol

[grand orbit]

By then more price drops cuz new cpus and gpus owo

[stoic crest]

oh yes

[pulsar fable]

Good point

[stoic crest]

i might actually just buy locally lol

cause new gpus

and i can actually get warranty

[fair moon]

Don't get your hopes up about new GPUS dropping prices. Nvidia may very well hold off on releasing lower spec 40 series till 30 series dries up a bit

Though for laptops it might be different

[stoic crest]

new cpu tho

[grand orbit]

Will drop 30 series tho

Even if used

[fair moon]

I don't think releasing the $900 + cards is gonna push current prices down lower

$900/1100/1500 I think

I guess there's AMD as well

[pulsar fable]

At this point I may give up on a lower price 3060ti and just look in the direction of amd

[fair moon]

3060ti had such good value at msrp that I don't think its gonna drop

[pulsar fable]

$350 from evga b stock is the lowest I can find

[grand orbit]

Used prices looking decent although new, can't beat 6750xt for 420 rn

[fair moon]

yeah I just keep hearing people saying they're gonna wait for 40xx to release and expect a huge drop

[pulsar fable]

6750xt for 420?

dang ive been looking in the wrong places

Dang, this mans is selling a 6700xt for $300

[grand orbit]

That's a new price btw

[tiny heron]

6700 xt for $370
Ugly card but still cheap
https://a.co/d/dpjzG3B

Not sure how the temps are with only 2 fans though

[grand orbit]

Yummy

[azure pond]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/8HBG3C/asrock-radeon-rx-6700-xt-12-gb-challenger-d-video-card-rx6700xt-cld-12g same price +$10 mir, not sure which is better

basically same price

[fair moon]

So I was looking at this listing https://www.newegg.com/yeston-radeon-rx-6800-xt-rx6800xt/p/27N-0042-000C8

And I noticed it says "fragrant graphics card"

Y'all think that's a translation error or does Yeston add air fresheners to their cards?

[tiny heron]

Think the powercolor has higher base clock but same boost clock

[grand orbit]

I think that's correct

[grand orbit]

They'll all have same base but slightly different boosts

[pulsar fable]

Oh they mean that literally

Like, they perfume their cards

[fair moon]

That's hilarious

[pulsar fable]

Look up reviews

You'll see they take it very seriously XD

[molten vapor]

What’s it smell like? Waifu used bath water?

[steel wren]

Buy one and tell us

[light holly]

[keen marsh]

oh I could buy a waifu card...

[sonic grail]

Yeston.

[light holly]

@grand orbit's fave mobo is on sale on newegg 😛

[grand orbit]

Pretty normal price on it tbf

[light holly]

That's why I didn't post it.

it's on "sale"

[steel wren]

i bought it at 160

2 months on my sis pc, so far so good

[grand orbit]

Ah yes

[formal barn]

hey guys

ive been saving up for the new cards

but the 3090s seem really good right now

should I wait the 4080 to drop or pull the trigger and get a 3090?

[azure pond]

Even the bad 4080 at $900 will be better than a 3090

I'd get a used 3080 12gb if buying rn, assuming you're gaming

[steel wren]

you will be missing a lot of features on the 40 series (even on the bad 4080) if you pull the trigger on a 3090

[formal barn]

im only gaming lmao do i really need anything better than a 3090 ti?

[azure pond]

You don't need a 3090 ti. For gaming, the 3090 it is 10% better than the 3080 12gb

[steel wren]

a 3080 will cover all of your gaming needs

[azure pond]

For hundreds more

[steel wren]

yup

try to get a used 3080 below 600usd

easy win

[formal barn]

i could get a 3090 ti for around $1000 though

thats pretty good isnt it?

[steel wren]

if you want to spend that much just wait for the 4080

[azure pond]

No

Not at all

New 3080 12gb is $740

$260 less for 10% worse perf

Used, I'm sure you can get one for $650 or lower

[fair moon]

3080 12gb is the move rn

[azure pond]

Or 6900xt

$700 new

[fair moon]

yes

4080 should really be a 4070 but they decided they wanted to charge more

(the lower vram variant)

[azure pond]

I mean, 4080 12gb could end up being the 3070 ti to the 4070

[steel wren]

still the bad one will beat a 3090 just on the features alone

[azure pond]

Early adopters fee. Spend more for less

[steel wren]

dlss3 on hardware only was a scummy move

[fair moon]

does 40 series really bring that much more to the table though?

[steel wren]

yup

[azure pond]

It might have been a required move though

[grand orbit]

Majority users don't need more than a 3060 ti

[steel wren]

new rtx generation and dlss3

[fair moon]

AV1 is cool but only id you stream/recorsd

[steel wren]

F the av1

[azure pond]

For all we know they use a new core or piece that previous generations are lacking

[steel wren]

rtx and dlss3

[grand orbit]

Nope you can get 3080 12gbs or ti's used for like 600$ now

[steel wren]

only on those alone it will beat a 3090

raster it will be tied with the 3090

[fair moon]

There is actually a reason, the new render pipeline stuff on 40 series is the only thing keeping latency low enough for dlss3 to work (still has increased latency though)

[grand orbit]

Actually both 4080's kinda embarrassing btw

[steel wren]

yeah the latency probably will be fixed in some driver updates along the line

[steel wren]

they are, no doubt on that, still they can beat the 3090

[fair moon]

it's an inherent part of adding in an extra frame

[formal barn]

I just bought a 4k tv so I wanna make sure im consistently hitting 4k60

[azure pond]

Tvs are not good gaming displays

[grand orbit]

Btw tv as monitor is a pain also ew 60hz

[formal barn]

Im not using it as a monitor lol

[grand orbit]

I would highly recommend returning

[formal barn]

I mainly play on my couch with controller

[azure pond]

What are you using it for then...?

[steel wren]

lawl

[azure pond]

Then why not just get a ps5 or Xbox series x

[grand orbit]

That's a monitor tho

[steel wren]

not his monitor but he plays on it? wat?

https://tenor.com/view/wat-what-wtf-que-gif-12854631

https://youtu.be/bEr9AmEkImg

[formal barn]

Ok well forget that I asked anything

[azure pond]

My guy

We are trying to help you

Why are you getting offended

[formal barn]

Im not

thanks for the advice

[grand orbit]

@steel wren idk if you saw but 4080 16gb basically really 4070 ti and 4080 12gb basically 4060 ti

[steel wren]

yes

those are trhe conspiracies around

the gap between the 4080 16 and 4090 is way to massive

thats why my profile name

[grand orbit]

Nv smoking the good stuff

[steel wren]

those 2 cards are in reality a 4070 and a 4060ti

[grand orbit]

Lel

[azure pond]

I mean, it's better than having the 3080, 3080 12gb, 3080 ti, 3090, and 3090 ti all be near identical cards

Well, not better

But it gives a real reason for the 4090 to exist

[grand orbit]

Not really

Ah ye

[steel wren]

we will probably get a 4080ti, 4080s, 4080hyper, 4090 20gb edition

[grand orbit]

But it's 67% to 100% jump

That's massive

[steel wren]

in that gap

[azure pond]

Not that them nerfing the 80 series cards is a good thing

[grand orbit]

They just basically ruined they're whole sku lineup thing

[azure pond]

I'm expecting one more high end card soon to bridge the gap between 4080 16gb and 4090

[steel wren]

also moore law is dead according to jensen... we will have more expensive stuff the more the tech advance into the future... like waaaaaaaaaat

thats the way it is

[azure pond]

Ehh

To a certain extent

[steel wren]

instead of driving prices down with better tech

e_e

[azure pond]

Prices continuously increasing is insustainable

I dont think I spelled that right

But anyways, yes wafers do cost more right now

[steel wren]

we get the idea

[azure pond]

Emphasis on right now

[steel wren]

[azure pond]

By the time 50 series rolls around, who knows

[steel wren]

but on that premise nvidia will try to charge more every new gen... like Jensen?

[azure pond]

Wafers could cost a fraction of what they do right now

$800 5090

[steel wren]

[azure pond]

But basically, we don't know if prices will continue to rise or not

[steel wren]

well huang said it... its over

[azure pond]

There's constant advancements in tech production, including efficiency in cost

[steel wren]

😛

we are now in the hands of Dr. Sue

she will save us on our darkest hour, i can feel it

heck if she deliver a card within 10% of the 4090 at 1200-1300 i will build an am5 system in her name

period

[azure pond]

You still planning on 4080 btw?

[steel wren]

no

the gap is way too big

im planning on the 90

[azure pond]

Gonna buy a used 3080? Or get 7000 series

Ah

[steel wren]

or a 7000 series

[azure pond]

Thats the same typo I just made

Lmao

[steel wren]

cant digest the cut down 4080 vs 4090

if amd fails to deliver i will probably rock the 4090 on my 4770 for some months

will be a funny pair

[high radish]

Still hoping for white strix 4090

[cloud hornet]

I'd prolly use core/SM numbers rather then percentages when talking sorta out of context to the thing I did

[grand orbit]

Fair

[steel wren]

ill be ok with the dark strix

[cloud hornet]

It gives a real reason for xx80Ti to be good again. xx80Ti was always very close to a full die and Titan was a full die. Nvidia then released the xx90 (3090) and said it was a Titan replacement when it wasnt even a full die card, so it was actually a xx80Ti replacement. The real Titan replacement was the xx90Ti (3090Ti as of now, maybe 4090Ti in the future idk). Moving the xx80Ti to xx90 allowed Nvidia to charge Titan prices for a xx80Ti class card. It's now shifted even more where the xx90 is inbetween xx80 and xx80Ti (much closer to xx80Ti due to huge gap between them [before Ampere]).

[pulsar fable]

Strix dark mode

[grand orbit]

It looks worse than 30 strix ngl

[steel wren]

now literally is a box

no subtle curves or anything 😛

[cloud hornet]

Lot of cards forgot to increase their model vertex count

So many boxes

[brittle lagoon]

Drop tips

What a goober

[torpid night]

linus part 2

[near igloo]

People buy this brick just for playing video game?

[azure jay]

Looking for a deal on color laser printer

[light holly]

oh yeah. I'm buying the 4090 to specifically game on.

nothing else.

4090 is bde

[near igloo]

console much better for gaming.

[light holly]

you make me laugh

[near igloo]

👌

[opal flume]

Controller do be nice for chillin while gaming tho

[light holly]

can use a controller on pc too

[opal flume]

Oh yeah, I'm just saying

I wish it wasn't so bleh in shooters tho

[light holly]

I prefer mouse/keeb in shooters

and this is coming from someone who gamed on console most their life

[opal flume]

I did too man

PS2 and PS3 was my childhood

/teenage years

[fleet marlin]

I started on gameboy & consoles, but indeed FPS & mouse+keyboard is PB&J.

[light holly]

yes. Gameboy Color Lime Green with Pokemon Crystal was my first game ever.

[fleet marlin]

I started with Red & yellow. 🤣

[opal flume]

I dunno what my first game was. Probably one of the Spyros that I can't remember

[light holly]

must be a tad older than me 😛

[fleet marlin]

Crash bandicoot, anyone? -- I had the 1st ones on the o.g. grey PS.

[light holly]

yesh

yes

I remember playing a lot of Syphon Filter on og phat ps1

[opal flume]

I remember Enter the Dragonfly more than any of the good Spyro games

[light holly]

a lot of soul reaver too

[opal flume]

I had the smol one as a young boyo

It is still somewhere

[azure pond]

My first pokeman was sword and shield...

Never had a ds when I younger

[opal flume]

Mmm, I remember my DS. I had like three of the lite versions

Used my first one so much the top screen and the audio system died

[tiny heron]

I started with blue and red.

[cinder kiln]

Enter the dragonfly was actually kinda good tho

[cinder kiln]

The original 1 2 and 3 were the best but I legit liked that one

[steel wren]

where? 😮

so amd will hit hard with the 7000xt series

i like it

[fair moon]

the pic was from a reddit post, idk if it's going into effect yet

[steel wren]

now a 7900xt at 1k seems like a possibility

seems like legit news

its on techpowerup

haha and they compare their gpus against the nvidia counterpart

[cinder kiln]

Interesting that they actually kinda class each card in the stack pretty appropriately

Except

6400

6800 and 6400 mightn't be quite worthy

[steel wren]

ikr

hahahaha

like they know which one is the counterpart

there is still hope at the end of the tunnel

im torn between the 90 and the 80 felix, need sensible advise :V

[fair moon]

*Up to is meh, gimme multi game averages

[steel wren]

if i buy the 80 16gb ill end buying this as well

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VLVnwc

if i buy th 90 ill have to keep using my 4770k for some time more

there is not that much budget rn

😛

[cinder kiln]

Can go more budget

Also psu

[steel wren]

no no, i mean

i have 2.1k for cpu+mobo+ram+cooler+gpu

everything else i have it already\

[cinder kiln]

Ah

Oh yeah g6

[steel wren]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pHYgpH

this should be my pc with those 4 parts

[cinder kiln]

My brain re remembering

What about 13400F?

[steel wren]

its a possibility

but the sa thing

had to settle at 3200c16

[cinder kiln]

It's a 12600KF tho isn't it

[steel wren]

no funny 3600 for me

no no, my pc is a 4770k with ddr3

[cinder kiln]

No no

13400f

It's a 12600kf right

[steel wren]

yes

and probably a 760

or i can go full balls to the wall and 4090 on my actual 4770 hahahah

[cinder kiln]

Cheap sp gaming 32gb, 13400F, cheap b660m

[steel wren]

and the 4080 16gb?

[cinder kiln]

You might get a bit of budget room with that

Ya

If that's the new option that opens up that'll be faster

[steel wren]

yeah probably thats the more sensible choice

a 4090 on a 4770k seems like a strange pair, and it will take me some months to gather enough to pice a 13th gen system

and i cant wait anymore

well, maybe not that much...if i get a 1800 4090, that will leave me with 300usd extra

i could gather some 200 more i gues later down the line

like 2 months more

[cinder kiln]

Lmao

[steel wren]

if the 13400 is power friendly, probably... proooooobably i can get away with 850w for the whole system

you are such a bad influence felix

you know that right?

[cinder kiln]

I'm a budgeterer

[steel wren]

yes you are right, eff the upgrades, knee deep into the mud

[opal flume]

Unacceptable, I say it is subjectively bad, therefore fact

Tbh it wasn't really bad, mostly just meh most of the time. Pissed me off sometimes tho

[cinder kiln]

The one that came after it

Iirc you had abilities like bullets in a gun

That one I didn't like

[opal flume]

On PS2? That was A Hero's Tail...I don't remember much about it. Other than the memory card I was using some how having a save file for it despite never playing it before that point.

[daring depot]

can someone give me an opinion, is a 3070 or 2070 overkill for a laptop?

heck even a 3060

I wanna use it for college stuff

[stoic crest]

What college stuff?

[daring depot]

general gaming and notes

[stoic crest]

Depending on the games, 3060 might just be overkill

[daring depot]

Really? I play most of my games at medium because my 1660ti cant handle it

a 3060 should let me play at high on average...right?

[stoic crest]

What res and what games are you even playing anyway?

[daring depot]

1080p, and PSO2

[stoic crest]

Hm, I don't know that game much

But I suppose it's heavy enough to need 3060 for high graphics

[daring depot]

thanks! im still gonna wait, laptops are relatively expensive still

[stoic crest]

If you're in the US

There's gamestop deals for 3060 legion 5's

Look into #tech-deals

[sonic grail]

A miner is selling his mined 1660super for $130 is that good?

[light holly]

What model?

[sonic grail]

PNY GEFORCE GTX XLR8 1660 SUPER 6GB

[light holly]

Looks about on par. It's not a deal perse because that seems the going rate for a used one.

Maybe a bit cheaper, but I assume because mined on.

[azure pond]

@steel wren alright now hear me out
https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/comments/xm16gt/prebuilt_asus_rog_gaming_desktop_i711700kf_rtx/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

[steel wren]

for 800? thats quite the deal

[azure pond]

$800 off

[steel wren]

oh

[azure pond]

$1300 for the pc

[grand orbit]

For a prebuilt it's really good pricing except it's the rog one which has terrible case and cooler and underpowered mobo

[steel wren]

yeah is ok the price as well

[azure pond]

Ye, def needs a case replacement

Mobo can get by with for gaming

[steel wren]

pretty much

1200-1300 is a good price

[azure pond]

Yeah, it should be the normal price for 3080 10gb builds now

[stoic crest]

can always add fans to the case too tho

if needed

just gotta take front panel off

[opal flume]

Mmm, any 2.5 inch ssd deals right now anybody know of?

[pulsar fable]

Just add some p12s

Also arctic's b stock has a 5 set of p14 for $17.50. think it's worth a pickup?

[grand orbit]

What size and country and no m.2 slots available I'm guessing?

[azure pond]

Mx500 and 870 qvo best 2.5s, as for deals eh

Most 2.5s I see on sale are low end drives

[opal flume]

Yeah, trying to upgrade an HP laptop's storage space, the guy wants the old SSD replaced with a bigger one, I'm in the US

[grand orbit]

Which laptop? Might have an m.2 slot?

Cuz nvme drives tend to be cheaper these days lol

[grand orbit]

This looks like the best 1tb sata drive option atm
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/6jTp99/klevv-neo-n610-1-tb-25-solid-state-drive-k01tbssds3-n61

[opal flume]

He didn't give a model number, but he's bringing it to me this afternoon, said it was a HP he got about 5 years ago and that it is low end, so I am assuming it doesn't

[opal flume]

Yeah, looks good, thanks

[old cape]

Need some deals for DDR5 2x32gb sticks (64gb total) next gen cpus and mobos need to come out and start dropping prices on this stuff!

[grand orbit]

Why do you need 64gb ram tho?

[old cape]

VDI, Lab, Encoding, workstation

[high radish]

Any decent ddr5 kit deal ?

[grand orbit]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/KvM48d/kingston-fury-beast-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr5-5600-cl40-memory-kf560c40bbk2-32 (pcpp being dumb it's actually 6000mhz and guaranteed hynix

[grand orbit]

Ah yeah fair enough but for 13th gen you could just go d4 anyway

[high radish]

good one but still looks expensive

[grand orbit]

Cuz hynix, only 5600 and below is really under 200 you can probs get some non hynix 6000 for 200 thi

[high radish]

[loud sandal]

Is there any ddr5 plus mobo combos

[high radish]

there was few of them at newegg last week I guess but they gone now

actually theres few of them at newegg let me check if theres good one

[grand orbit]

Aye lowest 6000 is 205

[loud sandal]

Okay

[grand orbit]

How do you see combos?

[loud sandal]

DDR5 4800 HAHA

[high radish]

you can actually filter combo deals at newegg

[high radish]

https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4514817

this one is lot better

but still theres no good one

still expensive

[loud sandal]

hm

[opal flume]

Pog, it actually has both a 2.5 inch and a M.2 slot, I don't have to worry about a SATA drive now

[loud sandal]

i see your name

[grand orbit]

Ehh

[loud sandal]

"starts hack"

[grand orbit]

Gl finding me with that name

[loud sandal]

haha

[grand orbit]

Literally

It's a name of an irish poet

[grand orbit]

Hmm

[high radish]

search for whatever you want and filter it by combo deals to see if theres some

[loud sandal]

I get option to remove haha

[grand orbit]

What a combo
https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4515379&itemPosition=1-12&exactIndex=0&isPLP=true

[loud sandal]

white ram

[high radish]

there was gigabyte bundles for under 400$

[grand orbit]

Just grab an mp33 then those are like 60$ now

[high radish]

but they gone now

[grand orbit]

Maybe more combos when new gens launch idunno

[high radish]

teamgroup had decent ddr5 ram and 2tb ssd bundles as well

oh they gone as well..

[loud sandal]

all im seeing is asus mobo which i like but idk about price

RGB plus 6000mhz

[grand orbit]

Boo

[high radish]

6000mhz kit roughly 250 + regular z690 mobo 200$

Don't need to bother lol

[jolly inlet]

I forget, is Corsair ddr5 as much a meme as it was ddr4

[high radish]

Corsair rams sux

[grand orbit]

From what ive heard no

[high radish]

They barely working on any mobo

[grand orbit]

At least for dominator ram

Idk about lpx

[jolly inlet]

The ddr5 is?

[high radish]

Never bothered with ddr5 tho

Recently used ddr4 kit which one stick didn't work on my mobo but worked on other mobo lol

[loud sandal]

yea that asus mobo like $350 probs cheaper just to pick out to seprete stuff haha

[high radish]

yeah dont trust newegg bundles lol

[loud sandal]

LOL

[grand orbit]

I have 3 d4 sticks of lpx and they works fine just fine

[high radish]

I think I'll move to 2x32kit tho

4x16kit sux at ddr5

[jolly inlet]

Well yeah, that's what I mean by the ddr4 being a meme, but I think I remember hearing the ddr5 was a bit better, more mid less trash

[jolly inlet]

In some cases you're lucky to get 4 sticks to post at all

[high radish]

yeah ddr5 is different story but I personally would get another one lol

[loud sandal]

what would be diffrente from elite and ultra https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-z690-aorus-ultra/p/N82E16813145344?Description=gigabyte+DDR5+mobo

https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-z690-aorus-elite-ax/p/N82E16813145366?Description=gigabyte DDR5 mobo&cm_re=gigabyte_DDR5 mobo-_-13-145-366-_-Product

[jolly inlet]

Mostly overclocking features

[loud sandal]

oh

[high radish]

newegg had this mobo + 32gb kit for 320$ I guess

[loud sandal]

ultra mobo only does 6200mhz sadge

[high radish]

hmm

[loud sandal]

booster lol

[high radish]

xmp sux

my rams were running at 6000mhz cl40 with XMP

[loud sandal]

is 6000mhz ram or 6200 better

[high radish]

but I manually OCed it to 6400mhz cl30 lol

[grand orbit]

6200

[grand orbit]

Hynix go brrr

[high radish]

you can OC 6000mhz Hynix kit to 6400mhz easily

[high radish]

yes it is

[jolly inlet]

OC on ddr5 is totally different from ddr4, primary timings matter very little and tertiary make a huge impact

So the only thing looking at timings on ddr5 is good for us figuring out what die it uses

[grand orbit]

Well on d4 it wasn't too far off

Most important was secondaries and a few terts

[high radish]

my current ram settings 1.45V 6400mhz 30-30-37

[loud sandal]

G.skill doesnt have 6200 sad

[high radish]

6200mhz guarantied hynix die right ?

[grand orbit]

G skill over rated

[loud sandal]

if mobo says it can only support so much can it only go that speed

[grand orbit]

Ye

[grand orbit]

That's just all they have tested on it

[loud sandal]

oh

[high radish]

my mobo manual said 6000mhz tho

it running at 6400mhz

[loud sandal]

bc i can get this

[jolly inlet]

I've seen 9000+ on boards verified for 6000

Granted that was under ln2

[loud sandal]

bruh

[grand orbit]

Rams overpriced

[loud sandal]

well

[jolly inlet]

RGB tax

[loud sandal]

or this

[loud sandal]

yes hehe

[high radish]

I think I will go for 2x32gb kit at my next build

with 13900k

probably new mobo as well

couse theres no white strix 4090

[jolly inlet]

Yeah Z790 should be better about high capacity + high speed, theoretically

[jolly inlet]

Not one that's been announced yet at least

[high radish]

yeah and I probably have to combine mobo color to msi surprim 4090

[loud sandal]

are they even coming out with z790

[jolly inlet]

Ofc

[loud sandal]

i heard 13th gen gunna use z690

bc like z590 was 10th and 11th gen

[jolly inlet]

It's compatible with Z690 but they're definitely making new ones

[loud sandal]

hm

[high radish]

it will work on z690 as well but they will have z790 as well

[grand orbit]

After they released z490 with 10th gen

[high radish]

I like intel mobo story lol

[loud sandal]

oh

[high radish]

btw there was 11900k + z590 mobo bundle for 290$ at newegg early

[grand orbit]

Ehhh

[high radish]

I still would get 12th gen but good price for last gen bundle

[grand orbit]

Ehh

5600 150+ mobo 100 over it + no expensive cooler

[high radish]

is 5600 perform similar to 11900k ?

[jolly inlet]

I wouldn't touch 11900k with a 49 1/2 ft pole

[loud sandal]

11900k is nice

I had it

[jolly inlet]

Sure, but it's literally worse than the 10900k

[high radish]

I hadn't one actually I had 11700k

[loud sandal]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/877959739307327538/1020753762610069605/unknown.png just look at the wattage

[high radish]

jumped to 12900k from 11700k

[loud sandal]

[jolly inlet]

Ah the waste of sand chip that was no different from the 10700k

[fleet marlin]

11700K was less of a waste than the i9 though. Some people really want that gen 4 slot. I only lost $40 tops selling my z590 & cpu.

[jolly inlet]

The only thing the 11900k was good for was memory overclocking

[high radish]

Here's my old build lol

Can't believe it was year ago

[grave delta]

Kinda, you had to run gear 2 and with the cpu cold

[jolly inlet]

Yeah that's a given going for freq records

[high radish]

here we go https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hk72QlkRD0

[loud sandal]

@high radish is your ram in gear 1

[high radish]

umm I don't remember

I manually OCed it

I think yeah it was at gear 1

[loud sandal]

I got my ram to gear 1 with 3500 CL16 DDR4

[high radish]

I been using xmp settings for long but recently realized it sux

[loud sandal]

im still using XMP kinda i just changed gear and mhz

[jolly inlet]

EZ OC

[high radish]

[old cape]

Yea I thought about that, would be much cheaper to go that route, however would be limited by speed of memory. I do plan to overclock and game on this as well. Just need those faster DDR5 kits to down in price!

[steel wren]

not like ocing on ddr5 is easy nor cheap

[stoic crest]

Speed doesn't necessarily mean it's better

Latency matters too

OCing ddr5 also isn't very easy rn due to the cpus being very early

[steel wren]

Nor to mention mobo cqpabilities

[jolly inlet]

Primaries are less important on ddr5

[steel wren]

Even less when you have cache, as the 5800x3d

[stoic crest]

Yeah but ddr5 rn is just pretty uncertain

[jolly inlet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgb8N23tsfA

[stoic crest]

Mobos being made unequal for ram is also a factor

[grand orbit]

Why 49 1/2 ft lmao

[light holly]

Because he'd touch it with a 50 foot pole

[grand orbit]

Lol

[jolly inlet]

[high radish]

[dim bay]

I have that 14tb hard drive in #tech-deals sitting in my room right now lmao

[loud sandal]

lol

[civic robin]

hi

idk if its the right channel but can someone help me with some computer issues

my laptop cant even run roblox someone help

[azure pond]

what are the specs

[civic robin]

i think its this

how do i check i forgot

[grand orbit]

That's well able to run roblox

Not much else

[stoic crest]

it can run roblox

[sick spade]

Is it good?

Considering buying that for mass storage.

[dim bay]

I mean a hard drive's a hard drive so yeah it gets the job done

It's good

[sick spade]

I plan to use it to offload files I do on my work drive into that one once I am done.

Okay, odd idea.

Would it be a bad idea to run that drive in raid?

Just a thought that came across my mind.

[dim bay]

I don't use raid because I have like 4 different storage devices inside of my pc so if one goes bad they all go

personally I never tried it though

[grand orbit]

good deal anyway

[sick spade]

Ahh got it.

[grand orbit]

80$ cheaper than any other 14tb hdfd

hdd*

[dim bay]

yeah 200 for 14 terabytes I just bought it without any questions

[sick spade]

I think I will probably snag one.

So let's see.

[dim bay]

and seagate is a pretty good storage brand

[sick spade]

That would mean I'd have, 1+2+2+14=19TB of storage.

[dim bay]

yooo I also have 19 terabytes

you could buy two and have like over 30 terabytes lol

[azure pond]

I've got 7.5 if I included my external drive that I dont even use, and its so much extra

[sick spade]

That may be a bit excessive for me...

[dim bay]

yeah 30 terabytes is wayy too much unless you store a lot of beefy media or something

[azure pond]

I might leave the hdd in this pc when I build my new one for my brother and get a decent sized ssd for myself

[sick spade]

Video recording.

Each video I make usually takes up around 80-100gb.

[azure pond]

I just use my pc for gaming, no point to 5tb+ at all

[dim bay]

still kinda overkill unless you have hundreds of videos

or if you think you'll reach that amount then it makes sense

[sick spade]

I got roughly, 1tb in work apps, 2tb in games, and g0d knows how many tbs in media if I didn't delete the footage after I am done.

[dim bay]

yeah some videos can be larger than triple A game storage

[fair moon]

Uncompressed, high bitrate video fills up tbs of storage surprisingly fast

[high radish]

Grabbed that HP monitor

it's for sale on amazon as well now

[pulsar fable]

My wallet looking at me:
don't

[molten vapor]

Literally the monitor I was supposed to get but went out of sale when I was about to buy it. I got an LG 32” ultragear instead. Guess I need a second monitor. 🫠

[azure pond]

I'm holding off

[steel wren]

she's wise

[azure pond]

I'll upgrade to 1440p next year

[pulsar fable]

Aye, she is
...wait it's a she?

[steel wren]

uh oh... i talked too much

[light holly]

Depending what the perf is for 4k on the 4090.. I may be upgrading to 4k xD

[torpid night]

I would totally upgrade to a 4090 and a 4K monitor if it can do 144fps

[azure pond]

I really don't see a point to 4k for myself, considering I don't even want a monitor bigger than 27"

[cinder kiln]

Be me, get a 43" 4K

[torpid night]

I would understand it if it’s a TV and you’re using something like Playnite to turn your PC into a console PC

(like what I did)

[grand orbit]

Then why not just use a console if it's a console game

Also TVs are a pain to use for monitors not to mention they're usually not very good with high refresh

[torpid night]

I prefer the higher performance without spending money on a console

I also like to experiment

[torpid night]

ye but that doesn’t matter to me when I’m on the couch

[grand orbit]

500$ ps5, 1600$ 4090

[cinder kiln]

True, not all of them but true

[torpid night]

it’s the experiment that matters more to me :)

[grand orbit]

Lol fair

[torpid night]

I’m trying to build a portfolio of stuff to put on personal website, which will go on my LinkedIn (the console PC just being a small project, but it could show my skills with Windows, for instance)

also technical writing and social media management experience (two other branches of experience that I’m working on while working at IT)

[cinder kiln]

Excited to see consoles get bigger with next gen hardware

Kekw

From mini fridge to actual fridge

[grave delta]

5600 has been $99 a few times before, or $180 with some b450 combo microcenter

With the new chips out, I expect the normal price to be at least as low as the $150 deal

[azure pond]

Wouldn't surprise me to see 5600 sub $100 used very soon

Well maybe not till am5 price cuts

[grand orbit]

I doubt it because people will want for drop in upgrades

[cloud hornet]

Also everyone still thinks Intel is trash and Zen3 is godly and out of this world

Was funny watching Zen2 prices never drop (used/new) despite Zen3 and ALD existing

[brittle lagoon]

As it appears now, unless AMD surprises us a lot with performance this gen, Intel is taking the throne for value

[fleet marlin]

Oh intel is already taking the value spot on lock. Lots of us will spend $300 on mobo+ 12400F instead of $300 on just 7600X. GL amd

[cloud hornet]

AMD might do good for mobile tho. Sounds like Raptor didnt really improve on efficiency based on speculated power consumption.

[grand orbit]

Amd mobile pricing is decent enough though, all up to the deals you can find tho

[cinder kiln]

Muh cube

[stoic crest]

mobile amd ftw

[fleet marlin]

$208* , and 1day shipping if you're lucky. (same price I paid 5 weeks ago). Some* 2TB gen 4 stuff sure is often getting to where gen 3 commonly used to cost.

[dry flume]

idk if this is ok to post on #tech-deals

[steel wren]

well, not like a deal, its a good psu dont get me wrong but the price is ok for a 750w unit

[stoic crest]

^

[grand orbit]

Bro

[high radish]

That ssd promo code says can't be applied

Idk why

@mortal blaze how did you apply code ? It doesn't work for me

[mortal blaze]

SSBW2924

if not work, try it from Today Best Deals

[high radish]

Can you apply code?

[mortal blaze]

no. isnt working 😠

help!

[high radish]

OOPS... Promo code SSBW2924 is not eligible for this order.

is anyone able to apply coupon?

[warm thicket]

No where on the product page does it have that coupon.

If it says it's not eligible then it's probably not eligible.

[high radish]

Nvm it was 275$ earlier and 199 with code so they discounted price before removing code I guess

You've been newegged

[fair moon]

This zipfest gpu sale is huge

[mortal blaze]

yo tbm necesito 1

cuál es la mejor x 300?

[fair moon]

Deal only applies to 350+ USD

[steel wren]

not only that

it only applies if you pay with zip

so... meh

im not going to link my card to a service like that

[fair moon]

15% off is 15% off

just use paypal or a virtual card

[steel wren]

you cant

if you dont pay with zip they void the code

so, not a normal promo code, its a promo code tied with a new payment method

i tried a minute ago, and no, i will not link my card to another affirm type of business just to get some discount

[grand orbit]

Idk bro seems right to me

[loud sandal]

[grand orbit]

[loud sandal]

[meager sandal]

almost bought that ASrock 6800xt until I say you had to pay with Zip

[meager sandal]

Code does not work at checkout, just tried to buy

[torpid night]

sad

[meager sandal]

Zip payment thing, total sham. They sell your info. Welcome to the Dark Side New Egg

[steel wren]

thats what i said

if you choose another payment method they void the code

not doing anything "affirm" kind of credit for me, thx

[meager sandal]

total scam

not gonna be buying from New Egg anymore

[warm thicket]

Lmao what

ZIP has been a payment option for more than a year now?

It has been there for quite awhile now, it's name was changed recently to ZIP though.

[steel wren]

im not saying that zip is a bad payment option btw, just saying i dont like that kind of payment option and its quite sad that a promo code is behind a must-pay payment method

[warm thicket]

I was not talking in reference to you at all.

[steel wren]

there are people who love buying with affirm as an example, i just dont like it

[warm thicket]

[steel wren]

can you frogive me? can you still love me?

[meager sandal]

The larger a company gets, the worse their customer service gets. Look at Amazon

[loud sandal]

your funny

[mortal blaze]

@quasi abyss is a private employee for MSI

[brittle lagoon]

and...?

[vague pine]

wait till you find out about one of our mods

[dry flume]

I can kinda confirm this, I'm not a US resident, but I haven't had any problem with amazon

Plus, international shipping is insanely good, they don't charge any fee unless it an expensive/heavy item and it usually takes less than stated

when I ordered my monitor, it was supposed to arrive 4 days after the date it arrived

[dry flume]

this also depends on the shop tho

[fair moon]

Amazon has so much profit that their customer service is basically: here's your money back

Wrong item? Money back, keep it or throw it away
Broken in shipping? Ship you a new one, usually with few questions
Stolen after delivery? Ship you a new one (my friend has had this happen multiple times)
Shipping behind schedule/late? Partial refund if you ask and at a point you can get a replacement

[stoic crest]

lol yeah

[frank timber]

lol yeah

[stoic crest]

Amazon doesn't care about having to spend money for your happiness

It's just a pocket change to them

[light holly]

I love Amazon customer service. They throw free stuff + my money back at me pretty often.

[stoic crest]

I would trust amazon international shipping, but I still want warranty

On top of amazon's that is

That sn850 deal do be good tho

For a speedy ssd

[slow sluice]

Multiple items sent instead of just one? Our bad, enjoy the surprise bogo!

[fair moon]

I believe if you are in the US this is actually a law

Anything sent to your address is yours to keep

(assuming it's addressed to your name and not someone else's package delivered to the wrong place)

[azure pond]

Lol zip is really desperate

[flat junco]

Wait, AMD processors are already on sale?

[stoic crest]

yep

so soon

I have a feeling they're going to slash prices once Intel comes

[loud sandal]

[azure pond]

I'll considering 7000 series if 7600x drops to like 200 and b650s can be had for 150

[stoic crest]

Yeah

[azure pond]

Because I would like to have the option to upgrade later on, as opposed to 13th gen being a dead platform

[stoic crest]

That's a fair point

The only bad thing I can see with 7000 is pricing lol

[azure pond]

I'd likely get one of the teamgroup ddr5 and ssd deals

[azure pond]

Is there anything out about how well it ocs yet?

With how much extra power they consume I'd guess pretty well but what do I know

[stoic crest]

All I know rn is that

You can play around with undervolting without losing much perf, if at all

While only using half the power

Compared to stock

[azure pond]

Ye

[stoic crest]

AMD really pushed the cpus with brute force

[azure pond]

Not even, they just overfed them power lol

[stoic crest]

lol that's true

[azure pond]

I'm hoping that means insane overclocking
