It's a nice deal

I just got the KS tho so holding off for at least a bit

[pallid geyser]

[cinder kiln]

I had a laugh

[quasi pasture]

would oyu like to hear more about x79

[cinder kiln]

• the laugh retreats *

[quasi pasture]

the only clown in the vc was you 🤡

[cinder kiln]

Lol

I now understand theo a lot better

I can't not laugh

Yes

With his kinks

[fleet marlin]

Oh this isn't gen chat, my mistake. Anyways, this is cool: Wouldn't see it if I did paypal checkout like usual.

[jolly inlet]

Yeah that's a nice option for people that often get things stolen. If you have a UPS account you can change the delivery in app to a store also.

[loud sandal]

30 min drive I must go pick this up

[grand orbit]

@azure pond interesting downvote

[azure pond]

The bot didn't add it so I did lol

[grand orbit]

It was there for me discord things

[azure pond]

Oh now it's there

[fleet marlin]

Great price overall for me thinking of what sort of ddr4 it fetched. People shouldn't be leary of that seller also, as they sell lots of g.skill & have that 100% rating.

[azure pond]

Also with that bin, I'd assume it's M die. Don't quote me on that, I don't follow ddr5 a ton. Pato or Felix would be able to give more insight on that I believe

[keen gust]

@azure pond racerspeed is gskill's amazon store

[cinder kiln]

M or A

More likely M

[keen gust]

Or if it was made recently, A

[azure pond]

Ah ok

That makes sense

[cinder kiln]

Ye it's recent, december 9th

[keen gust]

Gskill phased out m kits for a

[azure pond]

Is there a big difference between m die and a die?

[cinder kiln]

Yes

[azure pond]

M die ocs better, right?

[cinder kiln]

Other way around

A is better for high frequency

[keen gust]

M does tighter timings, A does higher freq

If you're on a 4 dimm board or on 12th gen, go M

[azure pond]

Ah, interesting

[keen gust]

1dpc+13th go A

Its like cjr and djr

[grave delta]

I'd only use m-die on am5, probably better off on A for all intel unless you put the m on ln2

Anyone need a 4tb drive in the first place?

[brittle lagoon]

If you have lots of games and plan on getting more, it'll be good

[cinder kiln]

Need it for all the homework

[elder ingot]

need it for all that h

[opal flume]

I'm getting one to consolidate all of my game storage to be out of a raid 0 setup

Gonna replace the boot drive due to all of the shuffling around too

[daring depot]

I don't know what the heck I'm gonna use 4tb for, but I have 2.5 and I'm full so I guess I'm someone who needs it

[steel wren]

i coulda use those 4tb to save my movies there

also video editing need a lot of space, heck a 20 minute replay on shadowplay eat 7gb of my drive

[high radish]

[quasi pasture]

what do you use it for lol

[high radish]

[quasi pasture]

[forest prairie]

[high radish]

I'm fashion designer lol I working on CAD mostly and some 3D modelling too

[forest prairie]

Oh cool

[high radish]

have to keep projects , 3d models , actual pics and videos of every model keeps lots of data

[quasi pasture]

do you have them in raid

[high radish]

no lol just backing them up to exxternal ssd

[quasi pasture]

actual cope

dont even have them in raid

[high radish]

my mobo have 4x m2 slot so I filled all with 4tb ssd lol

[loud sandal]

I might buy 2 later on well maybe 500GB-1TB for boot then 4TB for games

My mobo also comes with 4x4 gen slots

But disables 2 sata if all 4 in use

[high radish]

yeah who needs sata

[grand orbit]

Sata is so 2017 smh

[daring depot]

good. take me back

[quasi pasture]

yea, i use SAS B)

[grand orbit]

https://tenor.com/view/culture-man-of-culture-cultured-gif-10903367

[quasi pasture]

SAS on my x79 extreme11

[jolly inlet]

I just do sata raid 0

[stoic crest]

sassy people

with their sass setups

[quasi pasture]

RAID 10 is based

[jolly inlet]

I'd get a sas drive but I'm happy with the 12TB I shucked and worked with no mods in my server

[grand orbit]

12TB 👀

[quasi pasture]

I have a spare SAS drive or two from a R620 I sold

[jolly inlet]

I got it for $170 too

[grand orbit]

How yall use that much

Ntb

[jolly inlet]

Plex baby

[grand orbit]

That's streaming right?

[jolly inlet]

I think I've ripped every DVD I ever owned at this point

[grand orbit]

Ahh

[jolly inlet]

It's sort of streaming, just more private.

[grand orbit]

Yes streaming from the nas like

[pulsar fable]

Me, who doesn't have sas

Not like my PC can use sas drives anyway

[stoic crest]

i just want nvme ree

[jolly inlet]

Yeah, if the nas was also capable of trancoding 4k

[stoic crest]

sata ssds has bleh pricing these days

[jolly inlet]

Not with that attitude

SAS controllers are cheap

[pulsar fable]

That's why I got a gigabyte aero g. 4 nvme slots on the motherboard for just $120

[quasi pasture]

LSI gang

[grand orbit]

Sata use case these days is just ah crap I've ran out of m.2 slots/pcie slots with adaptor

[stoic crest]

yeah lol

meanwhile my sata use case is ah crap i have no m.2 slots

[grand orbit]

Shweet deal

[jolly inlet]

In my case it was "1TB sata drive is half the price of 1TB nvme so I'll get 2 and raid them, it's only for storage"

[pulsar fable]

I would have gotten an x570s aorus master for $145, but someone snagged it from me while it was in my cart

Eh, my 5600 wouldn't have benefitted from the oc potential of that. At least without me screwing up

[stoic crest]

I've been considering getting a better cooler for my 3600x

[quasi pasture]

how come

[stoic crest]

But my phone is giving me signs of its timely death

Why gotta it start dying at just 3 years mark smh

[grand orbit]

That's fair but nowadays unless it's a garbo ssd it's close to the other way around

[daring depot]

at least you make it to 3 years

I havent had a phone survive 2 years of pure abuse

[grand orbit]

Pbo go brr

[grand orbit]

That's quite impressive

[pulsar fable]

My pocophone would have survived 3 years

If my carrier didn't discontinue support for it >:[

Still works just fine, just no American carriers will give it service

[stoic crest]

my last phone survived 7 years

so im a keeper kek

[grand orbit]

I used my OnePlus 5t for 3 years then gave it to my mom, it's still running strong after a battery swap after 2.5-3 years in

[pulsar fable]

Would this be considered an upgrade?
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/RkC48d/thermalright-assassin-king-se-6617-cfm-cpu-cooler-ak120-se-d6

[pulsar fable]

Hmm

[stoic crest]

strix prebuilt case moment

[jolly inlet]

Planned obsolescence, they're designed to fail shortly after warranty expires or they get updates that gimp them (Apple)

[grand orbit]

So like 5 years lol and i drop my phone a lot

At least apple had good intentions with those updates

But sketchy

[pulsar fable]

Youre getting a cooler to fit your case. Meanwhile 2 years ago I got a case to fit my a500

[stoic crest]

im considering oneplus 5t

[pulsar fable]

It was surprisingly hard given that Corsair lie about how big the a500 is

[stoic crest]

$100 for unsealed one

[grand orbit]

I miss the fingerprint reader on the back 😭

[stoic crest]

sorry, sealed lol

it's unsold stock

[grand orbit]

Ohh that's a steal

[pulsar fable]

Get a moto. They still do that

Well their cheaper ones at least

[grand orbit]

Ik i used to have Motos

But i prefer to have a more mid range phone because i can and it lasts longer

[pulsar fable]

I currently use a moto. Granted it's because it was the cheapest phone with a snapdragon 8 gen 1. $499

[jolly inlet]

Corsair lied?!?! What's next, you're going to tell me RGB doesn't get me more fps?

[pulsar fable]

It doesn't?!

[loud sandal]

I would like to download shows onto my hard drive, but only certain stuff is allowed

[pulsar fable]

If it wasn't $30 I probably would have never even considered that chonky thing

Also could have probably waited for the ak120 or saved up for an ak620 or ak400

[loud sandal]

You better take that back rn

[jolly inlet]

You've got licenses for all those shows you're downloading, right? Or just using the streaming service "download for later" functions?

[grand orbit]

Ak120? But honestly the 400 is a normal 120mm tower cooler

[loud sandal]

We do illegal activities wait I can't say that

No but I mean download as be able to watch offline so like if internet goes out I could still watch something

[pulsar fable]

Sorry it's just what PCPartPicker had as it's name

[grand orbit]

Nono it's fine the abbreviation just didn't click

Also id cooling se 214xt is cheaper by a couple dollarinos and has are gee 🐝

[stoic crest]

anyway i definitely did look around while i was trying to find a cooler that fits the case

and there's deepcool ag300

but whatever, i'll run stock for now. whatever asus gave is fine, just loud

it's like a cooler for 200GE lol

[grand orbit]

3050rpm fan wholy

[stoic crest]

that's an athlon with 35w tdp

cooling a 3600x with this thing is an ordeal

i don't even have pbo on

or so i believe, boosts at 4ghz max

[jolly inlet]

I have one on my memory that tops out around 6k

[grand orbit]

Honestly that's how high i boosted with my 3600 and pbo so

[stoic crest]

hm ok

so it's basically on

i did see it being on auto

[grand orbit]

Granted 3600x stock has slightly higher clocks

[stoic crest]

still pbo i think

since clock diff is so little

[candid comet]

Found used 3080 for 700€

Used for 1 year of gaming, reason for selling it he bought new gpu, he said he cleant it regulary, plus he wont do any shipping, he wants to meet him in person before buyying

Also he lives in same city, same part like me

So should i for it

I will use it for rendering and 3d modeling

Or should i go for lower model gpu but new?

Also found some aio for 55€

[brittle lagoon]

iirc the first version of the masterliquid line leaked, not too sure if it extends to the masterliquid lite

Buying used is your choice, do your own testing on site if possible

[candid comet]

Oh but how can is see is it a good deal? Is a gpu in good condicion? What about beachmark?

Or just go for lower model of gpu but new

?

[brittle lagoon]

I mean, 4070ti is a thing now, 800$ is expensive but I'd say it's still a better deal than 700$ 3080, assuming usd

Prices right now are more driven up by scarcity than anything, 3080 could be found new for 700$ easily 2 months ago

530$ for a new 3070 is an option

[candid comet]

There is 600€ new 3070

But i will use the gpu for rendering and 3dmodeling

4070 ti = 1050€

For me

[brittle lagoon]

terrible deals lol

[brittle lagoon]

what country?

[candid comet]

Bosnia

[brittle lagoon]

market is weird

[jolly inlet]

ML240L is not a great cooler but if it's new you might get a couple years out of it before the fans die if you're lucky. Pump failure is also common.

I wouldn't use it on a high end CPU obviously, something like a 3600X would be good

[fair moon]

Might as well get a 20-30$ air cooler for a 3600x though

[jolly inlet]

Exactly

I had that one on my 5800X for a while, I had to replace the fans and it barely kept it from thermal throttling even after undervolting.

[jolly inlet]

Got a programmer for it or does it have flashback?

[cinder kiln]

• Hires a man who knows java and C++ *

Pastrommy man

[jolly inlet]

A common mistake I've seen people make on those Intel boards is either not doing a step up version and getting a microcode mismatch or not letting it reboot twice after an update to update the ME

I know both too

Even though I prefer C#

It's what I used in the military 🤷‍♂️

Java should have died a painful death years ago but Minecraft has it on life support

[cinder kiln]

Soon java will be monopolised

[jolly inlet]

Microsoft already bought Minecraft, they might as well buy Java too

who said ddr5 rams are expensive

[cinder kiln]

32gb brrr

[jolly inlet]

Dayum nice

[cinder kiln]

Not bad

[jolly inlet]

It might be Samsung but hey who can complain at that price

[cinder kiln]

Nah flare X is likely hynix iirc

[high radish]

still good price for 6000mhz cl16 they usually over 150$

[cinder kiln]

It would be sad if it wasn't

[jolly inlet]

Got a model number? I can look up the timings and make a guess on die

[cinder kiln]

Die is in the 042 code

That is an ideal AM5 kit

[cinder kiln]

Send pic of sticker

[jolly inlet]

It's straight 36

[cinder kiln]

Hynix m best am5 rams

[cinder kiln]

There are M die kits that lurk in these 6000 xmp's

[jolly inlet]

MSI QVL moment

[grand orbit]

Btw you don't have to read product code, if trcd is 36 or less it's Samsung

[cinder kiln]

The xmp itself doesn't always give it away

No

Lol

It's not a guarantee

042 is the guarantee

[grand orbit]

Hynix doesn't do trcd 36 tho?

[jolly inlet]

Good stuff

[azure pond]

How does p3 compare to mp33 again?

Just curious, same price per tb as mp33 if its still on sale for $105

[grave delta]

Just had the p3 plus fail

[pallid geyser]

O dear

F

[fair moon]

Do faster speeds lower endurance?

My 1tb 860evo (Sata) has a 600TBW and the 4tb is 2400

[grave delta]

No, it's qlc vs tlc, but you're very unlikely to wear out the drive before it's irrelevant

[brittle lagoon]

Although in this case the limitation is probably something other than nand, for the qlc flash used in p3, n48r, spec says up to 5,000 p/e cycles, same as b47r, although in reality more like 1,500-3,000.

Point being, qlc doesn't have to be less reliable than tlc, theoretically n48r that's on the p3 should be more reliable than a decent amount of tlc, the drive has a lower rating due to a combination of some other factors.

[azure pond]

imo that's not much of a deal when this is much better for not much more https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Brvqqs/team-mp33-512-gb-m2-2280-nvme-solid-state-drive-tm8fp6512g0c101

no problems so far in like a year of use

Alright thanks, I’m considering this the 1TB Modern version since it’s on sale for $53

I'd guess dell would cancel orders for price errors but at the same time I wonder if it's to clear stock because of the weird colors

[light bay]

Yeah idk

I don't live in Canada so I haven't tried ordering it fully

[fair moon]

Same

[light bay]

But, if your mascot of your country is maple syrup, ig give it a try lol

[fair moon]

Yeah worst case is you get a cancelled order and refund

[light bay]

The only product from Dell that isn't a total scam

[fair moon]

they have some alright stuff

XPS laptops are pretty nice

their business stuff is good, gaming not so much

[light bay]

@torpid night I clowned on you bozo L

[torpid night]

ur mom

[trim pier]

I got the order through for the switch 💀

I used paypal through the method too just in case

and the order just got confirmed LOL

[light bay]

looks like the link just went down

[jolly inlet]

I've actually got that limited edition color set too. Gets you in game items in animal crossing.
Dang too bad the link died, I'd totally pay to have that shipped from Canada.

[daring depot]

dam that sale was real?

[jolly inlet]

That remains to be seen. They can still cancel it up until it ships.

[light bay]

Did you hear about the time I bought an $11.34 4000d?

[jolly inlet]

Yeah, wild deals sometimes.

[light bay]

Well, obviously you didn't hear the end of it...

It was a third party seller, they end up cancelling/refunding and telling me it was because the one I had ordered was actually a damaged one in their warehouse???

Then, a bit later, I go on to their store page and they're selling a 4000d for $113.40

Hmmm, seem a little suspicious?

I don't think they just had a damaged one lol, sounds like a bs excuse

[jolly inlet]

Agreed bs but can you blame them lol

[light bay]

No but it's like just tell me straight lol

[jolly inlet]

The problem with that is they don't have a valid reason to cancel the order so they'd have to honor it

[light bay]

I wrote them back with a ss showing the "new" 4000d on their storage page for $113.40 and they just ghosted me 💀

They can't be making any sales

Their stuff is marked up like 50% over retail

[trim pier]

they just cancelled my order

i’m gonna try to do something with best buy though

No way you're suggesting bing rn

I make 5 bucks a month on bing using rewards

its small and incredibly pointless and inconvenient, but its 5 bucks

[grand orbit]

Hey that's 60$ a year

[fair moon]

I used to do Microsoft rewards

Dunno if they changed it but I could get game pass "free" by doing all the Ms rewards stuff

[grand orbit]

Believe so or some other vouchers

[pallid geyser]

Dang

That’s enough for a Twitch subscription

*not a promo

[opal flume]

You don't get 5 in cash, usually just 5 in gift cards for certain places

[grand orbit]

Yeah you can get gift cards for apple, h&m, foot locker, spotify Amazon, game pass, Microsoft store, entries into surface and xbox giveaways

[loud sandal]

Bing is better

You get points

[slow sluice]

Those points aren't worth the extra time it takes me to find what I'm looking for

[opal flume]

If it takes extra time for you to find what you are looking for maybe you should do better searches, literally no worse in the time it takes with bing than it does with google smh

[slow sluice]

Google has better filters and such

Plus they seem to do a better job of contextualizing results based off of recent searches

Not to mention bing loads slower nine times out of ten

[grand orbit]

Anything semi complex with bing and it's just yikes tbh

[loud sandal]

Yes it is

Bc you can get some good stuff

Like money or xbox gift card or Xbox game pass

[slow sluice]

I could just clock an extra quarter hour and beat that

Idt I've bought anything because of an ad before

Unless you count spotify premium

[light bay]

I seem to get ads for an item I just bought lol

Seems kinda pointless to me

Like, I don't need two identical pairs of cowboy boots, thanks google

[grand orbit]

Especially with amazon

It's like hey you just bought these new headphones we think you'd like these new headphones

[loud sandal]

[high radish]

I wish microcenter ships those goods

[trim pier]

can’t you get them price matches?

[jade prawn]

Yeah closest microcenter to me is 10 hrs away.

[jolly inlet]

Best Buy will price match their online listed price but won't do bundles, and the bundles are what makes MC awesome

[trim pier]

ik they won’t pricemstch bundles after all that’s such a notable exclusive, but let’s say your upgrading from like a 121/12400, the price for a brand new processor is great

except motherboard compatibility, but otherwise still a nice price for the 13600k

i wish i could get my 50$ back but it’s past 30 days 😭

[high radish]

They refuse to price match because there's no MC un my state

[loud sandal]

Sadly all my stuff matches

[loud sandal]

Welp time to move and live somewhere else

[high radish]

But I hate taxes

Especially sales tax

[light holly]

Sounds like you live in Oregon lol

[high radish]

Delaware

[trim pier]

isn’t that the state where newegg doesn’t tax you?

or was that used to until january first of this year?

[high radish]

We don't have sales tax

And only 6% income tax

[pulsar fable]

Meanwhile Massachusetts has 6.25% sales tax

I don't know what lawmaker thought a decimal of a percent was a good idea in sales tax, but I want to have a long stern talk with them

[high radish]

Yeah I still don't like taxes lol

[slow sluice]

They don't price match Newegg for me because it isn't a big enough competitor

[high radish]

I don't paying sales tax and paying small amount of income tax because I officially working for company for 40k per year lol

I love cash

[high radish]

[trim pier]

Minnesota having 7.315% sales tax for my area

Then sales tax rates fluctuating around the state because of canadians and mall of america :)

[pulsar fable]

I ...

What?!

[trim pier]

yup.

sales tax in the MoA is 7.6% I believe

[pulsar fable]

How do you calculate that?

[trim pier]

it prints on the receipt..

[pulsar fable]

Wait, you don't calculate tax yourself before buying something?

Ok bot

[trim pier]

nope because it’s gonna cost a crap ton

[pulsar fable]

But yeah I calculate tax because a $20 budget is a $20 budget

Not "$20 and change with tax"

[trim pier]

cause i bought a 300$ microcenter deal + a 130$ monitor

during black friday

costed me 463$

33$ sales tax.

[pulsar fable]

Well yeah at that price calculating tax is wortess because you're already spending so much

[trim pier]

mhm.

but i usually calculate the tax by buying an arizona teas

the sales tax went up .2 in my area

but i only knew that from receipts

[azure pond]

I usually calculate tax by googling what is the sales tax in any given area

Pretty effective

[pulsar fable]

Massachusetts keeps it pretty simple. 7% on prepared food, 6.25 on basically everything else. State wide

Granted anyone with a brain and half a tank of gas just goes to New Hampshire for 0% sales tax

Emphasis on that "half a tank of gas" part

[trim pier]

lmao

I think Minnesota has a sales tax on everything except for clothes

well I know it’s except for clothes

cause it should be everything has a sales tax, with it fluctuating in areas, but doesn’t apply to clothes. Don’t know why it doesn’t apply to clothes but all I know is from working in a halloween store and hearing that people from the states, canada, etc visit MoA to buy clothes

simply cause there’s 0 sales tax on clothes. And what’s great is that our outlets usually have 50% off, have big brand names like Nike, Adidas, etc

[pulsar fable]

Why spend full price when you can just go to an alternate universe of off brand products with aldi

@polar terrace high end gen 4 drives go on sale for $160-180 a lot, such as s70/blade and sn850x

A80 is $117, a60 is $105

970 Evo plus for $160 is not a good deal

Maybe $140

[polar terrace]

aight

[brittle lagoon]

2tb p3 plus is 125$, P41 plus is 120$, a 970 evo has to be better priced than both of those to stand any chance

[pulsar fable]

P41 plus sometimes goes to 110

Not the best boot drive but pretty cheap for bulk nvme storage

The Deepcool deal involves a crummy box cooler but the free mechanical keyboard isn't awful

You can easily meet the $45 threshold with just a single liquid cooler like this https://www.amazon.com/DeepCool-Dual-Chamber-Anti-Leak-Daisy-Chain-AM5-LGA-1700/dp/B09Y1LVCYH

[shut spoke]

Bought an ak620 with the 1700 bracket and the keeb

Saw that free shipping wasn’t automatically selected after and immediately went to cancel order and reselect but the bracket was oos by then

😭

[high radish]

[grand orbit]

AK620 should include the bracket by default afaik

[jolly inlet]

"Should" but maybe the promo was to get rid of old stock that didn't

You can still contact deepcool to get one if needed

[grand orbit]

Pretty sure the cpu came out after 12th gen launch so would be weird if they didn't have one

[jolly inlet]

Hmm fair point, it launched around September 2021

They should at least have had the dimensions of the bracket needed at that time

But that's still long enough ago that the first runs might not have had it

[grand orbit]

Maybeee

[trim pier]

wait

the AK620 doesn’t come with a lga1700 bracket?

also should I buy any AIO from deepcool? 🤔

[jolly inlet]

It should unless it's really old stock

[jolly inlet]

LS/LT 720 are among the best

[trim pier]

ah

tbh I wish they made 280’s cause like my case, it only has a max of 280

plus it barely fits on my desk 💀

[jolly inlet]

LS520 is 240mm

But you might be better off with another one

Something like this if you have room for a thick radiator https://www.ebay.com/itm/225386843088

its $60 off full price

it's not too old

what's the storage on it?

[marsh sphinx]

64

[stoic crest]

bruh

sad

i wouldn't get it myself

[marsh sphinx]

I would

[stoic crest]

but tbf the ipad has the best soc

can't deny that

especially for that price

[grand orbit]

I mean i have only barely used 70gb on my phone but i just downloaded like 10 gigs of tv shows

[stoic crest]

64 gigs on ios tho

it takes up a lot of space

[high radish]

256gb gang

[cinder kiln]

512gb gang

[azure pond]

I'd likely be fine with 32gb on my phone lol

[cinder kiln]

I take a lot of screenshots

So I just went big

[high radish]

119gb is full of my 256gb

[azure pond]

I currently use like 70gb, but I could uninstall a lot of apps I don't use

[cinder kiln]

I even have an equally large sd card

Barely any big apps, my phone is work or otherwise I stream to it using the pc's

[high radish]

it's sad sd card on phone is dead

Most phones don't have sd card slot anymore

[cinder kiln]

Xperia ftw

[high radish]

I got Samsung S21 FE and Xiaomi 12T pro 8/256 and 12/256

[cinder kiln]

So I've used after a year

160gb

That's without any games too

[high radish]

4tb phones wen

[cinder kiln]

I think sd cards should stay

Install your android to it so you can shift it to the next phone like an ssd in a computer

[high radish]

But phone makers making stonks with selling extra storage

They selling 128gb chip for extra 50$

Apple making it worse lol

[cinder kiln]

Well a utopian answer exists but we'll never get the utopia

[high radish]

[fair moon]

64 probably fine for an ipad cause you're most likely not taking a lot of photos and videos with it

Compared to a phone

I have 49gb of photos on my phone which was starting to be an issue when I had 64gb but now I'm chilling with 128

Skytech normally cheaps out on mobos and psus, just as a heads up

[loud sandal]

yea

you wanna see something ddu

[loud sandal]

they cheaped out on the mobo

[azure pond]

Ah

Mhm

Is that the asus prime b660?

[loud sandal]

idk i found it under reviews of this prebuilt

[azure pond]

Thats what the io looks like

My guess is either ds3h or asus prime

[loud sandal]

i mean as least 360 aio

[azure pond]

Pretty sure it's not ds3h

[azure pond]

Likely not a good aio

[elder ingot]

damn, garbage psu or not, the pc in tech deals is nice

[azure pond]

It's also about $1200 overpriced, and even $2000 is too much

[azure pond]

Yeah very

I still absolutely despise skytech and would almost never recommend it

[loud sandal]

well it was probs worth 3k at the time before 4000 series

[elder ingot]

i've only heard skytech horror stories

[azure pond]

But at $750 it's a good deal

[azure pond]

Not really

[loud sandal]

[elder ingot]

my irl friend ordered a skytech and it came absolutely broken

[azure pond]

3080 builds were 2k for a good while before 40 series

[elder ingot]

gpu was snapped out of mobo slot

but that was likely just shipping damage

[azure pond]

Mine had the wrong psu, and it was E tier, ram died, proprietary case in a non oem build, terrible mobo

[loud sandal]

lol

[azure pond]

Cooler worse than the amd stock cooler

Their customer service team literally consists of two people

[elder ingot]

damn i didn't even know there was an e tier

that's so bad 💀

[azure pond]

I called about 10 times and got the same two people

[loud sandal]

💀

[azure pond]

Wanted them to send me the right psu, and rhey wouldn't

[elder ingot]

who? dumb and dumber?

[azure pond]

Because they said me opening the build voided my warranty

How the actual *** am I supposed to find out its the wrong psu without opening it

[loud sandal]

worst case your house goes up in flames law suit skytech for all there money

[azure pond]

Skytech is an absolute dog ass company

[elder ingot]

damn maybe 750 isn't so reasonable after all /hj

[azure pond]

lol

It def is, but I still despise skytech

[loud sandal]

i mean would you save and maybe get a broken pc or spend the little extra and get a ABS pc

[azure pond]

Though considering you could do a customer build with a 5600 and 6700xt for not much more, eh

[azure pond]

Cheapest I've seen an abs 3060 ti build is 1200

That's not a little extra

[loud sandal]

hm

[elder ingot]

my abs came doa

though it was a open box

[loud sandal]

well shipping could have thrown it

[azure pond]

I actually threw it

[loud sandal]

Ive seen a thing or too

[azure pond]

We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two

you guys should've seen how bad the damage to the case was

it was somehow so bent inwards

like they dropped 5000 bricks on it

[loud sandal]

[azure pond]

Also mb

[elder ingot]

thankfully i recorded myself opening it

[loud sandal]

ive seen people put 100 pound boxes on mirrors lets just say the mirror didnt make it

get the x3d version of either if you do it

[tiny vine]

when do those drop?

[cinder kiln]

not unless you get some incredible discount

in like, a month

[jolly inlet]

Feb 28

[cinder kiln]

28th feb?

[tiny vine]

how much better are they suppose to be for gaming?

[jolly inlet]

Better than the 13900k by about 10% I'm expecting

AMD claims 20-25% more fps over the non 3D models which realistically means 15%, and they're only a few % behind 13th gen anyway

[tiny vine]

which AM5 motherboard n ddR5 ram you recommend

[jolly inlet]

Are you near a microcenter?

[tiny vine]

ya im in fontana so not to far

[jolly inlet]

Good they have a free DDR5 with AM5 motherboard deal

[jolly inlet]

Ok it looks like the deal at microcenter ended so here's what I recommend. You can get the same memory at the microcenter for the same price, so you're not waiting for shipping. Just make sure it's the "alpha" one since that has the EXPO profile you want.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xVL7Fg

[fringe olive]

I do not remember microcenter having a free ddr5 with AM5 mobo deal, but they do have free ddr5 with some of the Ryzen 7000 cpus

[jolly inlet]

Either way it wasn't on their site so I think it's over

Maybe they'll bring it back but DDR5 is getting cheaper anyway

[fringe olive]

Idk, if I am looking at a different microcenter site, but still seems to be there unless I am massively overlooking something.

[jolly inlet]

Oh there's the link, it was under the 5800X B550 combo for some reason

That's what threw me off

[trim pier]

they've always had that but never listed it till now

threw me off too, but usually if they don't have a promo going on there for mobos + cpus, all cpus there whether if it has a ssd or a ram for free also includes 20$ off a mobo

and then you could get 50$ off the cpu if you use the new customer and builder coupon

[loud sandal]

Why is there slow mo on deals channel

[loud sandal]

Bc I found a good deal but I had to wait to post it

I also forgot stuff very fast if I don't do it that second

Wegg tip: You can edit your message even while on the post timer.. Just make sure you add some space between the different deals.

Anyone looking for 1TB gen 4 ssd, kingston kc3000 is a decent $81 in tech deals. E18 chip, 7000 seq read, etc.

[shut lava]

Its a great deal. I have the 2TB version in one of my PCs.

At that price, it beats out many lower performing drives in GB/dollar

[light holly]

They look like 100x100 in the pictures. I'm willing to bet that they are. In all my research I've done into Huanuo monitor arms (I have 3 sets) I've only seen 100x100.

If you are able, I'd suggest getting one that has a pole that the arms attach to. It affords a little more versatility in how you can place your monitors.

[fleet marlin]

Almost got sn770. $80 for the kingston is still mighty reasonable lately. Yr old review, but here's a cool small thing from tweaktown:

Hey yall I know this is probably asked here a lot but I'm looking for a decent deal on a laptop with at least 6GB of vram. I plan on using it for moderate 3D design work using Fusion360 and SolidWorks as well as some gaming at 1080p with games like GTA, Halo Infinite, etc. I'd like to get something that is below 1K (might be asking for a lot there) which is also why I'm ok with refurbished stuff

[fleet marlin]

A BB rep said no to the TD apple deals, at least when I asked to match ipad air. Not gonna waste my time looking for a different rep. Before TD was compUSA and circuit city, both defunct years ago.

[high radish]

yeah tigerdirect used to have some stores back then but they sold bsiness to another company which made it online only . I bought things from them about year ago and got my order without issue

[fleet marlin]

Right, it's just that warehouse is closed today so no shipping til Monday & probably many orders canceled. non-edit: tried an order on this:

[high radish]

yeah I Ordered one for fun too lol

12600k is lame

Change my mind

13400 is a cheaper 12600k

But I'd go 13500 instead

I was saying that like a "what if"

[brittle lagoon]

Your assets are liquidized and rest of the debt assigned to your relatives

[loud sandal]

[brittle lagoon]

But debt collection aren't exactly nice people, if they can't find close relatives, the debt will still go to someone

Most likely it'll depend on the terms of the credit card

For how far the debt can reach

"Collectors can also contact any other person with the power to pay debts with assets from the deceased person’s estate. Debt collectors may not discuss the debts of a deceased person with anyone else."

If you list anyone on your will, they might be getting the debt

[quasi pasture]

1: Respawn
2: Main Menu

[brittle lagoon]

But if you don't have a will, an administrator will be assigned, and the debt might go to them

"If there’s no will, the court may appoint an administrator, personal representative, or universal successor and give them the power to settle the affairs of the estate. In some states, that power may be granted to someone else who was not appointed by the court. For example, state law may establish another process for someone to become the representative of the estate even if they haven’t been formally appointed by the court."

But a random person might become the administrator of the estate

Someone gets assigned, they don't apply for it

In a roundabout way anyone related to you can still get your debt

Yea

[steel wren]

yup, debts will not dissapear like thin air, they will be transfered to someone... somewhere

I heard that one isn't required to pay for debt pushed off to you tho. To what extent is that true?

Not even US so idk heck about US law.

I've heard of people getting debt collectors and never actually got forced to pay for it. Basically just refuse any contact or acknowledgement and apparently you're good? Idk.

[brittle lagoon]

Best place for it

[brittle lagoon]

Federal law says you can mail a collector to go away and they're forced to stop contacting you

And there's such a thing as a time barred debt where it stays on your record as a debt but it's too old for them to sue you for it and force you to pay it

Bye bye credit for 10 years

[cloud hornet]

Just live Theo dream and get Isekaied to new world with Truck-kun.

[brittle lagoon]

So that's why Theo was here

[fleet marlin]

Mods be slackin.

[loud sandal]

you can rebuild but it will take some time

[fleet marlin]

Oh snap. -- sn770 1tb isn't 70 now. 2tbsm850x is 168 still. Tiger direct ordered are almost all getting canceled

[brittle lagoon]

@zenith lantern what's the best Isekai anime of the season

Theo Isekai in production?

[zenith lantern]

who said this isnt the world i wasnt isekai'd to

[brittle lagoon]

Damn you got a bad world

[zenith lantern]

no redo's not a healer

[cloud hornet]

Bruh

[zenith lantern]

idk what yall talking about

[cloud hornet]

Reborn to Master the Blade prolly highest quality Isekai this season. Everything else is cringe meme tier.

Also time to delete #anime and make #tech-deals-discussion the real anime channel.

[brittle lagoon]

Yes

[sick spade]

Agreed.

Don't worry, 10k will totally get cancelled eventually

[loud sandal]

no

[torpid night]

your opinion is not valid

[fleet marlin]

@high radish stop, I'm trying to not spend money, lol. They brought back that price & not a 3day sale, haha. Must have plenty of em.

[high radish]

[loud sandal]

only 1TB

[fleet marlin]

would be boot for 2TB p41 anyways. Extra drives was a bigger issue in the past (hdd or not), but I like an easier os reinstall & such.

[jolly inlet]

P31 is still the best if you're worried about battery life in your laptop

[brittle lagoon]

Tbf it's just 4w vs 6w but if you got multiple drives, it might start to make a difference

[jolly inlet]

Every Watt counts in laptops

[pulsar fable]

But can I get a laptop with a 99.9whr battery with a CPU that sips power?

[stoic crest]

uh yes absolutely

Find one with a good BIOS and yep, not too hard.

[jolly inlet]

Limit processor tdp and any chip sips power

@grave delta

[jolly inlet]

Hey you should sell that

[grave delta]

Damn, guess I have to blow that $14k on something else now

[shut lava]

I have a working VooDoo5 5000 that is also labeled "Not for resale." It came from a game development studio. I wonder what its worth?

The 6000 is obviously worth a lot more because its so rare.

[fair moon]

I only see 5500 not 5000 idk if there's a difference
https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=voodoo+5+5500+gpu&_sop=12

~450usd looks like

[shut lava]

typo its a 5500

[quasi pasture]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/255966829744? @grave delta

what a great deal

[jolly inlet]

For that price it better come with a whole ass PC and give me a foot massage

[jolly inlet]

Yes I'm a tabletop rpg player and proud of it.
I'm open to joining a new game too if anyone has an opening or wants to start one.

Fr though, as a kid/teenager, I used to sit around a huge ass custom dining table inlaid with dice/dragons/wizards and played survival quest with 10+ people every weekend.

People get tired.. we'd take like a 3 hour nap and get right back to it.

[flat junco]

That monitor be glossy

[turbid locust]

[flat junco]

[turbid locust]

Its aonther rebrand of eve spectrum

[flat junco]

That's hilarious

[turbid locust]

do not expect to get anything if you purchase

[empty basalt]

I'll delete

them

If it's scam

@solemn forge

[solemn forge]

Yea

[jolly inlet]

Crowd funding your monitors just feels... wrong. What happens if you don't reach your goal? No one gets a monitor and you just keep the money?

[light holly]

This a good deal?

[azure pond]

Not really

I wouldnt spend more than like $60-70 for an lga 1200 mobo

[silent rampart]

@jolly inlet what is pathfinder

[jolly inlet]

Dungeons and dragons but better. Made by Paizo instead of Wizards of the Coast.

[silent rampart]

if only i had friends and/or my parents and sibling actually wanted to play board games with me lol

well

[quasi pasture]

I'd play warzone with you if you weren't such a skill issue

[silent rampart]

not a board game+ ur bad

[slow sluice]

Wdym it's not a board game

[silent rampart]

"if only i had friends and/or my parents and sibling actually wanted to play board games with me lol
"

board games

[slow sluice]

Seems like a board game to me

Just an online version

[pulsar fable]

I'd play warzone with you if my game didn't crash every 10 goddam minutes

[grand orbit]

Pretty stable for COD

[pulsar fable]

I have amd gpu

That's my problem :(

[azure pond]

Have you tried turning warzone on and off again

[pulsar fable]

Yes

Redownloaded the game, redownloaded Radeon drivers

[azure pond]

Have you tried turning Activision off and on again

[pulsar fable]

Even used ddu

[azure pond]

The entire server

[slow sluice]

Wait, cod warzone? Why would you choose to play that

[quasi pasture]

AMD moment

need at least 1 micro center in each state

[dry flume]

in each country*

[pulsar fable]

We should build a micro center in kyiv once the war is over

[light bay]

It would just start another war due to it's value lol

[olive lance]

Truuuu

[dry flume]

13600k deal world war

[torpid night]

they need to build a Micro Center in North Sentinel Island because those MFs (frickers, for the mods) don’t have technology

[shut lava]

Microcenter has been slow to expand. Supposedly over 50% of the US population lives within 1 hour drive of a microcenter. I've seen two different people calculate it before based on the address and some open source population data using some data analysis software and python maps.

[jolly inlet]

If they put one in NorCal then they could greatly increase that number

We have a very high population density

[zenith lantern]

We used to have a microcenter here in norcal, Santa Clara, they left and a Walmart was put in it's place

[zenith lantern]

people were scamming them because they would price match and people would photoshop ads and print them to get the item cheaper

theres a ton of electronic stores that were competition back then too in bay area

frys electronics and central computers

now all thats left is central computers

[fleet marlin]

Rip Frys. Had 3 or 4 near Sacramento, and Santa Clara is not NorCal.

[zenith lantern]

[trim pier]

cluster truck for 1$ is great but like..

that game died years ago

[cinder kiln]

Crashed and died in a clustertruck of an accident

[jolly inlet]

Yeah when best buy price matches they either look up the price on their computer or scroll the page on your phone to avoid those scammers. MC must have either been lazy or untrained.

[jolly inlet]

They got broken into during the riots and lost millions in merchandise. Insurance didn't cover all of it and they never recovered. They're online only now like circuit city and Macy's.

The one on Northgate is still vacant last I went past there.

[fleet marlin]

Yea, sad. Crap owners/managers.

[jolly inlet]

Well the only issue from the owners was only having a 1 million dollar insurance policy instead of 2 million

It's the crappy people that looted the stores during the riots that really suck

[fleet marlin]

Oh I mean the majority of the stores. Didn't change w/ the times sort of, idk.

[jolly inlet]

Yeah they were pretty old fashioned and in need of change before then but if not for the looting they could be open today

[shut spoke]

no MC in indiana and the only frys closed down like 2 years ago or so

last time i went stock was mostly gone anyways

[brittle lagoon]

You're either stuck with Chicago or Cincinnati MC depending on north or south Indiana

[shut spoke]

yeah... ive had to go to chicago most times and ohio once
