welcome to the 128GB club

ddr5 6000 here 🙂

[grizzled cave]

Whats your Graphics Card?

[fossil spoke]

Giv me your ram, minecraft leaking ram too much if i have that much ram the leaking is fine

That's some low ddr5 tho

4800

[grizzled cave]

Had to compensate, also timings are tight

[fossil spoke]

i have my 3600mhz ddr4 😔

[grizzled cave]

Fire

[quick mason]

Smh datacenters and AI coulve used that

[grizzled cave]

I do ai stuff

😭

[hollow tree]

@misty briar @shadow tangle

Guess what

I was having some HEINOUS hard crashes

Flashed BIOS, chipset drivers, video drivers, sound drivers

Took apart nearly the entire PC

Finally when pulling out the GPU I see this shit

Can you see it too?

[misty briar]

12VHPR or whatever it's called strikes again

Top row is quite perished

[hollow tree]

It's fucked, smoked, charred, OXIDIZED AND MISSHAPED

This was the 3x8 -> 12

I LUCKILY have a 600W rated 2x6 -> 12

[misty briar]

Is the gpu ok or did it smoke

[hollow tree]

GPU is fine

[misty briar]

Nice

[hollow tree]

It was just crazy unstable at desktop idle loads and loading into beam

[misty briar]

:yeah:
That trash nvidia cable tends to do that

[hollow tree]

It was clearly a physical fault

Like no doubt there was arcing, I see soot inside this terminal

Man

[misty briar]

Time to replace it and hope it doesn't burn down your house

[hollow tree]

Just pulled 320W across the new cable so I'm sure we are fine now

I kept saying 12pin, I meant 16

It's just that the 4 are not so obvious

[rare otter]

Im happy my AMD card still has the 3x8pin

And not the fire hazzard

[hollow tree]

Kinda sad TBH I've only had it a year!

I've enjoyed the card for performance, but holy shit, this definitely puts me in camp "don't buy a GPU with this power connector"

Probably gonna buy an AMD GPU next and just eat the loss in Adobe Premiere

[rare otter]

Crazy

[hollow tree]

I've been with Nvidia for 10 years, time to switch back I think

[rare otter]

What card is it

[hollow tree]

https://www.microcenter.com/product/690232/NVIDIA_GeForce_RTX_5080_SUPRIM_LIQUID_SOC_Overclocked_Liquid_Cooled_16GB_GDDR7_PCIe_50_Graphics_Card

[rare otter]

https://tenor.com/view/schmoop-gif-26237806

[hollow tree]

That listed price is crazy lmao

[rare otter]

Sick card

[hollow tree]

Yeah it's good other than this power connector!!

[misty briar]

It's not like you'd notice tbh with th cpu you have
At worst buy a 5050 just for cuda acceleration

[hollow tree]

I mean I could KEEP the 5080 for that instead of buying yet another Nvidia??

[misty briar]

Yeah, but it likes to burn. Up to you tbh

[hollow tree]

Good point but who says a 5050 won't also somehow burn

I don't think I'm giving Nvidia any more money

[nocturne basalt]

[hollow tree]

Can you see it?

[nocturne basalt]

Actually, now that i zoom on it, no
It looked like the whole top row was darker

[hollow tree]

It IS

[nocturne basalt]

Oh

[misty briar]

Like buy a baller amd, sell the 5080 to some sucker and buy a 5050 for rendering

[nocturne basalt]

Yeah that's pretty bad

[misty briar]

They don't use the 12VHPR+ Pro Max AI power connector

[hollow tree]

Honestly if I go this route I just pull the 3060 out of the closet

[misty briar]

:yeah:

[hollow tree]

:jim:

[nocturne basalt]

Gay 3060? 🤨

[misty briar]

If you have spare cards I guess

[hollow tree]

It's pretty gay

Very queer card

[nocturne basalt]

I mean rgb is just rainbows

[hollow tree]

@misty briar @shadow tangle

god

[hollow tree]

HONESTLY

I should be thankful only the cable was damaged

And that it didn't take the whole GPU or PC down with it

[vale ice]

why i didnt get ping 😿

[hollow tree]

@vale ice

[vale ice]

Thank you

[hollow tree]

This shit was MELTING

duck duck duck GOOSE

This is an MSI branded adapter BTW, so that's strikes against both them AND Nvidia

I'm now using the 12v - 2x6 that came with my SuperFlower

We will see what happens

Honestly for the entire year of owning this I didn't have an issue, so I figured I had dodged the bullet on this connector

[tough estuary]

just run 2 bus bars lol

[misty briar]

Imagine if your servers still ran on your pc :thisguy:

[manic dagger]

guys im picking out a parts list and other stuff for my friend, budget of £999 for everything, the pc, moniter, mouse and keybord, and moniter, £999 for it all, reply to me with what u think would be good ,thanks!

[misty briar]

Something used

[manic dagger]

well no, like what do you reccomend, like this cpu etc etc

[shadow tangle]

Exactly what caused ghe issue

[tough estuary]

i think 2 inch busbars can handle that little current

[grizzled cave]

Any tips on how to speed up my pc? Its kinda slow

[shadow tangle]

isn't that what the same thinking as nvidia on their FE

and wonder why it melt

[shadow tangle]

Don't buy a server cpu

[grizzled cave]

I already have it

[shadow tangle]

get R9 9950X3D2 instead or newest Core Ultra 7

yeah it's not really meant for gaming

so eh

and get smaller ram but way higher speed

[grizzled cave]

Well it performs good

[grizzled cave]

It has tight timings

[shadow tangle]

4800MT/s is very slow for modern DDR5

[shadow tangle]

welp, problem solved

[hollow tree]

@shadow tangle I think I narrowly avoided disaster

[shadow tangle]

what happeneds

[proven lava]

Please see https://discord.com/channels/601558901657305098/1487404122805370880 for what we know, and https://discord.com/channels/601558901657305098/1488185488925004079 for updates as we have them.

[shadow tangle]

i don't think you have any idea what disaster Dudek having

[hollow tree]

My 12VHPWR plug was failing

And I had much in the event viewer

And I only found the problem when looking closely while taking everything apart

[tough estuary]

where expo?

[nocturne basalt]

They are disgusting god damn

I found a console on the side of the road and it's cleaner than this

[hollow tree]

Everyone has a console restoration channel these days

[nocturne basalt]

i dont, am i supposed to

Did they forget to hand me one

[calm gull]

told him to burn it and he called me a jewish indian

[nocturne basalt]

[nocturne basalt]

That almost looks wrong now

[hollow tree]

Is it

In🇸officient?

Perhaps it is too philo🇸offical

Check out this high voltage hum

[nocturne basalt]

It do be humming

[tough estuary]

in grid terms that would be medium lol

everywhere else its high

[hollow tree]

Pick one, ig

They all buzz

[tough estuary]

the far one is gonna be in the 6 digits

[tough estuary]

have you ever stood near a transformer?

[hollow tree]

Sure I used to have one in the back yard

[tough estuary]

like a big one

oil cooled

[hollow tree]

Yeah for sure, we used to have one supply the welding shop

[tough estuary]

hell yeah

someone i know installed one that on the secondary there was 40000 amps per line

[thorn finch]

hey @hollow tree I saw you're playing around with linux a bit.. have you met copyparty yet?

everyone needs at least one copyparty instance in their household.. it even runs on smartphones

[misty briar]

That name didn't sound new...
Iirc dudek himself posted it here before the great reset :yeah:

[thorn finch]

mhk

[misty briar]

It's the portable go anywhere does it all file server

[thorn finch]

yup

its great for uploading/backups in a local network

[misty briar]

:garfcouch:

[misty briar]

I guess it's easy to use for a once in a while thing, but I'm not sure I'd use it as a nas application

[thorn finch]

mh, I just leave it running on my server and whenever I have something I think it might need a backup I just drag n drop it there

not automated backups tho.. yeah

or for feeding my jellyfin with movies.. from desktop -> server

🏴‍☠️

[hollow tree]

:garfmobile:

Yeah I posted it but never employed it

I'm probably going to now that you reminded me

Attach an 8tb to the pihole and let it rip

Actually lmfao might dig out a separate pi specifically for it

Yeah that makes sense

Hahahahahahahaha

FILLED AUTOMATICALLY

@misty briar get a load of this

Time to delete my Ubisoft account!

About to get emails like this from everyone

Bleak!

[thorn finch]

hey @hollow tree .. you like homelabbing? have you met incus?

its pretty awesome, a little bit like docker but those are kinda real OSes in there with systemd and stuff

incus shell some-name```
and you're inside a debian system where you can play around with pterodactyl and other stuff

[misty briar]

:thisguy:
What changed in the regulations that now requires the single State?

[misty briar]

It's the uhhhhhhhhhhhh same of lxc containers on proxmox I guess?

[thorn finch]

yeah, its the continuation of lxc

[hallow glen]

lmao "we wanna continue killing single player games in regions where we won't get a lot of flack"

[hollow tree]

Neat!

[hollow tree]

This is interesting, yeah, I'm trying to think of how I'd use it though

[misty briar]

You have a solution to a problem you don't have

[hollow tree]

rearranged some furniture and now the 6Ghz wifi is putting up crazy numbers from one end of the house to the other

ping notwithstanding

[misty briar]

I haven't yet broken the 1 gbps wall, mainly because my equipment does not support it

[hollow tree]

here's a wired test from the laptop next to the router so you tell me how the 6ghz outperformed it

maybe I have it plugged to the 1gbit port lmao

[misty briar]

Hold on, you have a 1000/1000 contract right?

[hollow tree]

yeah, sometimes they overdeliver

[misty briar]

Crazy

[hollow tree]

most days actually

[sage chasm]

can my Asus ac2400 do this speed?

[misty briar]

Mine just delivers :yeah:

Ont is terrible, I may or may not ask the isp to change it pretty please

[hollow tree]

does it have wifi7, support 6ghz, have a good antenna, and a CPU and RAM and storage that can do something with it?

[sage chasm]

well it has 4 antennas but i don't think it has wifi 6💔

(its a gaming router)

[hollow tree]

@misty briar , LMAO I checked and realized Iplugged the laptop into the 2.5 on the router but I forgor that the laptop only has a 1gbit port....

[proven lava]

he forgor💀

[hollow tree]

That's right, Carl

I'll take the 1gbit cap and lower latency for the servers

6ghz goes crazy tho

[misty briar]

It has 2.4 and 5 ghz so no

[sage chasm]

rip

[hollow tree]

I'm coming up on 6 months a customer and I'm about to start sending weekly emails demanding 2gbit+ on this 10gbit pipe they have

[misty briar]

:garfmobile:
They'll charge you more though

[hollow tree]

5ghz can put up good numbers if you're in the same room as the router

[misty briar]

Depends on the access point

[hollow tree]

watch me leverage my Business Cred ™

[misty briar]

As much as I like mikrotik, their wifi is subpar
I mean
3-500 Mbps symmetrical on wifi 5 is still plenty

But yeha

[nocturne basalt]

Oh, its not the water

[grizzled cave]

How many of those were actually installed?

[wary juniper]

3 ut one isnt in a pcie slot

[vocal yoke]

Also what's the models of them

[wary juniper]

you dont wanna know

[vocal yoke]

Trust

I do

[wary juniper]

newest one is 2023

[vocal yoke]

Ok

Models

[wary juniper]

gtx 670 ftw hd7850 oc gtx 1050 ti gtx 1650 dual oc and guess the one at the bottom

[vocal yoke]

Uhh

Is it a 2060

Hmm dam

[wary juniper]

hint

[vocal yoke]

1660

I gib up

[wary juniper]

1060

[vocal yoke]

Ohhhh

Nice

[wary juniper]

why is it called gtx

it spports ray tracing atp call it rtx 1060

[vocal yoke]

I dont think it supports rt

It can run dxr

[wary juniper]

on some games

[grim horizon]

it probably doesnt have dedicated raytracing hardware

[vocal yoke]

Ye that's what I mean

[grim horizon]

most things just require hardware rt support because it'd be painfully slow otherwise, i'd assume

[vocal yoke]

1080ti

@wary juniper what's ur cpu

I have a budget pc but it does good

Plays most tittles

I have 2 1440p monitors coming and a new motherboard so I can overclock the i7

And when I get the mobo I can install my 32gb ram

Oh yeah getting new case too cus im tired of the rgb

[wary juniper]

i have 64 gb

[wary juniper]

i overclocked mine

mem is faster than 1080 ti adn gpu core same speed

[wary juniper]

there is some other stuff on yours faste tho

we both have gigabyte model tho

[vocal yoke]

Yers

[vocal yoke]

Nice

I haven't touched the oc settings

[vocal yoke]

So what's ur cpu

[wary juniper]

i7 10700T

[vocal yoke]

Dayumm

[wary juniper]

8 core 16 thread

[wary juniper]

its a t but i removed the tdp so it can use whatever wattage it wants ive seen 250 watts

[vocal yoke]

Wow

[vocal yoke]

Good shit man

[wraith steppe]

1070 too weak

For 1440P

Need smth like 3070 or 6700XT

[wary juniper]

1060 can do 4k normal graphics 30fps on beam italy

i have done it

[wraith steppe]

I can't even get 30FPS in some of the games i play at Ultra now

Need to get rid of SMAA in quite a few games to achieve 40-60FPS

[wary juniper]

both my gpus

[vocal yoke]

Cool

[wary juniper]

1060 has a undervolt

i can go to +725 mem and that will be above the 1060 world record

just cotta optimise other dtff to reach that score

[wraith steppe]

+400 mem crashes my 1070

In games

Even +300 does so in quite a few of them

[wary juniper]

my 1650 doind 1000 stable and up to 1300

[vocal yoke]

Haven't touched anything

[wary juniper]

might not wanna if you dont know what ur doin

[hollow tree]

Damn which afterburner skin is that

[vocal yoke]

Heh no I do not

[vocal yoke]

Windows 11

[wraith steppe]

Memory stock, curve at 1900Mhz 1000mV atm

Could probs optimize, but eh too lazy

[wary juniper]

do +150 core mhz and +700 mem mhz

for now leave the voltage stock

[vocal yoke]

K

[wary juniper]

test beam ng for a bit if it dosent crash leave it

if it crashe raise voltage

[wraith steppe]

Eh, on avg 1000 series doesn't really like memory past 400Mhz, especially 1070 and up

[wary juniper]

ive seen way higher

[wraith steppe]

My avg experience is guaranteed crashes past +500Mhz

[wary juniper]

you gottta do undervolt

i used to crash on +215

changed some stuff and after an hous stable on 500

some games 725

[wraith steppe]

Undervolt doesn't affect memory voltages...

[wary juniper]

ik

thats core

[hollow tree]

Let me just

Undervolt my memory

[vocal yoke]

I hit apply and my screens went black

[wraith steppe]

I've been in the overclock and undervolt game since GTX 500 series was released

[vocal yoke]

Oh nvm

[wary juniper]

might be too high then

[wraith steppe]

Prob +200 for your GPU max for mem

[wary juniper]

oh

depends

[wraith steppe]

+200 is conservative should always work

[wary juniper]

theres changing signal black screen and theres crash black screen

[vocal yoke]

My wallpaper went black that's it

[wary juniper]

ima dm you both my overclocking profile

[hollow tree]

[vocal yoke]

Oooo

[wary juniper]

i dmed you all my hwbot profile

[vocal yoke]

Kk

[wraith steppe]

This was watercooled too. 44C max temp while gaming

[vocal yoke]

Ohh

[wary juniper]

watercooled laptop

[vocal yoke]

Howww

[wary juniper]

9c cpu

[wraith steppe]

2145Mhz at 1063mV was max OC. But that wasn't worth the extra 200W powerdraw for 3FPS (from 180-200W at 2000Mhz tO 340-380W at 2145Mhz)

[vocal yoke]

I've never heard of water cooled laptop

Finna launch beamng now

[wary juniper]

prob gain like 5-10 fps

i have done ones where i doubled fp

15-30 fps on the gpu they used in the ps4

on beam

[vocal yoke]

Wow

Would you call beamng a intense game?

[vocal yoke]

The oc settings didn't crash

[wraith steppe]

Nah. CPU intensive, yes. GPU? Not so much

[nocturne basalt]

Its an odd in-between game where 720p lowest will run on a literal potato but ultra will kill your pc

[wary juniper]

only when ai cars enables cpu intensive

unles you have a 5090 adn a celeron cpu then cpu cooked

[nocturne basalt]

Highest fps i hit in beam was 10k

(don't ask)

[wary juniper]

grid map on lowest no car at night

under or far above the map

[nocturne basalt]

Nah

Ctrl+shift+f and i moved the window on my second monitor

[wary juniper]

the ps4 can do 1k fps with that

i had exact ps4 equivalent pc

[vocal yoke]

What gpu clock should I try next?

[wary juniper]

gpu temps are crazy low too

[wary juniper]

i would keep it there

[vocal yoke]

Ok

[nocturne basalt]

1

[wary juniper]

or join the discord server i sent you and ask luger he does watercooled 1080s

[nocturne basalt]

Why 1080

[vocal yoke]

Ok

[nocturne basalt]

Im sure you can get a better card for the same price

[vocal yoke]

Idk why im getting 45 fps

[wary juniper]

he has it already

[nocturne basalt]

Oh ok

Mb

[nocturne basalt]

Ctrl+shift+f

See whats killing your performance

[wraith steppe]

Do you have reflections etc turned on

Also your CPU clockspeeds & core count probably hinder it too

[vocal yoke]

I have no clue what im looking at

[vocal yoke]

Yes

[wraith steppe]

Disable those then

[vocal yoke]

Well now im back to 75

[wary juniper]

min is tragic

[vocal yoke]

Oof

[wary juniper]

what map u on

[vocal yoke]

West coast

Ima turn settings to ultra

[nocturne basalt]

Yeah i never understood those drops

They annoy me

Its clearly the game having a stroke

[wary juniper]

mee too

im lading into wcua

[vocal yoke]

Ohh

Ok

Mine still loading after I hit ultra

[wary juniper]

im in west coast now

[nocturne basalt]

[wary juniper]

where ru on the map

[wraith steppe]

@vocal yoke I basically have 2X your CPU, but with 20MB Cache and OC'd to 4.6Ghz core, 4.4Ghz Cache/Uncore

[vocal yoke]

Drag strip

[vocal yoke]

Dam

[wraith steppe]

Xeon E5-1660 V3 (aka i7 5960X, but only 25€ vs 70€+)

[wary juniper]

heading there

[vocal yoke]

Lmao

40fps max

But I forgot to say im on 720p lmao

So neither the cpu or gpu is giving its all

[wary juniper]

why is it so bright

[vocal yoke]

Its blinding bro

[wary juniper]

ultra bloom is glitched

[vocal yoke]

Mine be stuttering

[wary juniper]

mine is smooth 30

[vocal yoke]

I could hoox it to my TV so I could get 1080p

But im too lazy

[vocal yoke]

Ima go to grid map and see my max fps on potato setting

[vocal yoke]

Urs looks so good

Gridmap is 75fps on ultra setting

[wary juniper]

i get like 120

[vocal yoke]

I think im capped at 75 cus of my refresh rate

Yeah I am

[vocal yoke]

Bro mine won't lemme screenshot

[nocturne basalt]

Res is lower than your screen's res?

[vocal yoke]

Uhh no

[nocturne basalt]

Ah, idk why, then

[vocal yoke]

When I press windows shift s it just exits game

[nocturne basalt]

Yeah i have no idea

[vocal yoke]

Lol

Fine looking bugatti

Ima restart my pc

[wary juniper]

2 am rn ima go

[vocal yoke]

Wow ok cya

[wary juniper]

bye

[wraith steppe]

1440P everything maxed out practically

[wary juniper]

i have a 1060 he has a 1070 and ther guy has a 1080 ti

i also have a 1050 ti

[wary juniper]

we got all the gtx 10 series

[nocturne basalt]

Guess what's that on

[vocal yoke]

I had a 1050ti before this

Also i have a gt 620

[nocturne basalt]

Found one of those next to a dumpster
We'll see what i can do (probably nothing)
If it accepts to run linux yall getting a beammp server on the pos

[misty briar]

[vital galleon]

prob already runs Linux under the hood
maybe an ARM CPU or smth

[nocturne basalt]

Android

[vital galleon]

still the Linux kernel

maybe Ubuntu Touch could run

[misty briar]

I uhhhhhhhhh I'm not sure that someone can just throw these things away, usually they're leased by the bank to the business

[nocturne basalt]

Screen is absolutely cooked

[misty briar]

[nocturne basalt]

Dw, i took the sim out before doing anything. I ain't stupid

[misty briar]

[nocturne basalt]

[misty briar]

What was it? Password1!?

[nocturne basalt]

2222

[misty briar]

[nocturne basalt]

Ill mess with it more later. I can probably force it to have a keyboard

There's a usb-c on it. It just wont do anything
Im sure i can solder something

[misty briar]

RAM shortage is so intense we just run home servers on point of sales machines 😔

[nocturne basalt]

[hollow tree]

No way really lmfao

[nocturne basalt]

let me hope

[hollow tree]

My bank will sell me a clover device if I want it for my business lol

[misty briar]

Computing

[nocturne basalt]

[vital galleon]

have you ever thought about upgrading the kernel

[misty briar]

More computing

[hollow tree]

:debussy:

[misty briar]

No need to update if the machine has no access to the internet and the internet has no access to the machine

[hollow tree]

👏

[misty briar]

🚬

[vital galleon]

me when no internet

[proven lava]

me when

[misty briar]

Hows YOUR 🫵 homelab doing? :garfcouch:

[hollow tree]

Vulnerable I guess

https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-31431

[misty briar]

Oh shit

[hollow tree]

But honestly haven't cared much

[vital galleon]

I've just watched a vid abt it

[hollow tree]

I think the vulnerability is serious but the claims made at https://copy.fail/ are overstated

Such as they've made a mistake of claiming 100%

[vital galleon]

well you need direct access to the computer for the exploit too but it could be combined with social engineering

[misty briar]

So am I reading it right that there is no fix yet for Debian 11 and 12?

[vital galleon]

no fix at all for Ubuntu (and thus derivatives) either

[hollow tree]

Not beyond the pre patch mitigation

Which you apply yourself

[misty briar]

[hollow tree]

And then reboot

[vital galleon]

yea you need to remove the kernel module for now

[misty briar]

Though my systems are quite out of date so, there is a chance they're not vulnerable lmao

[vital galleon]

apparently it's there since 2017

[hollow tree]

You gotta be really out of date but it is possible

[vital galleon]

well social engineering exists so you just need to be even more aware

[hollow tree]

Or you can also just be running some combination that's not capable of running the exploit

Linux VMs on unrooted android for example

[vital galleon]

like removing the kernel module associated with those cryptographic utilities
it will make hashing and stuff slower (because cryptographic hardware will be unavailable) but the kernel will fall back on other methods

[misty briar]

I uhhhhhhhhhh
Affected I guess

Because I THINK it's 6.1.x onwards????

[vital galleon]

pls update your kernels 😭
the patch number is 3 digits for 6.8 🥀

[misty briar]

Also this apparently is not vulnerable

[thorn finch]

who uses 6.x kernels in 2026.........

[vital galleon]

me cuz Ubuntu backports haven't released the 7.0 kernel yet

[thorn finch]

I didnt even know I'm using 7 until someone asked something about it the other day.. thats the day I learned kernel 7 is a thing, its released and I'm using it 🤷

maybe should pay a liiittle bit of attention when updating

[vital galleon]

I can't even use it cuz Linux Mint 23 isn't out and Ubuntu backports is releasing Linux 7 for Ubuntu 24.04 (LM22.x) later this year

[misty briar]

[wary juniper]

[next pecan]

wait... this cannot be true

[vital galleon]

what model is your DV6

[next pecan]

its worse than my old laptop

[vital galleon]

oh I thought you also had a DV6

[vital galleon]

it's powerful enough for school use
even though it's 3 times less powerful than the laptops the school gives us, the fact it runs Linux make up for the performance loss

[next pecan]

uhh...

0.13ghz slower

the only difference

[vital galleon]

dw I can always put an i7-840QM in it

it has a socket

[next pecan]

yeah i actually considered doing that

[vital galleon]

what is your laptop

[next pecan]

i cant remember the exact model

but it has i3 m350 and ati 5470

[vital galleon]

mine's a Pavilion DV6 2125ef

[vital galleon]

noic
i'm just ashamed of this computer not booting DOS natively while my Core2 PC that's 1 year older ran it fine

[next pecan]

its an asus laptop tho

[vital galleon]

HP were real good in those times
my computer could be optioned with a DVB-T tuner, 56K modem and infrared Microsoft eHome remote

[next pecan]

also i got the laptop to run windows 11

[vital galleon]

Windows 11 is trash

Linux Mint is the future

[next pecan]

now its hdd is broken tho

[next pecan]

i know just wanted to find out if it can even run it

[vital galleon]

idk where the OG HDD went in mine cuz it originally had a 340GB drive but when I changed it to an SSD I saw that the drive installed was 750GB

[vital galleon]

Windows 7 Home Premium is much better anyways

Aero is 🤌

[next pecan]

i had a 512gb, then i swapped it to 340 and then found out the new drive is bad too

[vital galleon]

I have a 1TB SSD in mine

[next pecan]

it actually ran fine once i reinstalled it

[next pecan]

fast

i could just run it through a portable ssd drive

[vital galleon]

well the drive itself is SATA III but the interface is SATA II

[next pecan]

with the usb 2.0....

[vital galleon]

I do have an eSATA port yea

[vital galleon]

just install an USB 3.0 ExpressCard

or use eSATA

[next pecan]

i could... but really i dont wanna spend money on this laptop

too old to do anything

[vital galleon]

I continue to spend money on it because it has features no modern laptop has

[next pecan]

the ports are very useful

[vital galleon]

and I don't need much speed to run Minecraft on it

I just spent 50€ on a 95Wh 12-cell battery

[next pecan]

nice

[vital galleon]

current battery is 4400mAh 10.8V

[next pecan]

mine is dead

[vital galleon]

around half the size

[vital galleon]

mine's degraded so much that it's recognized as another model by the laptop

[next pecan]

its like 0.9volts and 0mAH

[vital galleon]

I also love the ability of changing the battery in 5 sec

I wish it had a secondary battery to allow to do so while running

but at least I should be able of installing a DVB-T card and maybe even a fingerprint reader
my final wish would be to install a QuickDock in the car cuz it has RCA video inputs for the headrest screens

basically turn it into the final boss of mobile entertainment systems

[next pecan]

"mobile"

the old laptops are a bit too chunky

[vital galleon]

such bricks are mobile
I brought it to school and it holds up quite well despite 2 hours of battery life

and it's quite light tbh

just a bit noisy

[next pecan]

my hp probook 650 g8 has around that much battery life lmao

should change it

[vital galleon]

well with the 95Wh battery I'd get an astonishing.... 4 hours

but at least it's so thicc that it props up the laptop helping it to cool down

[next pecan]

4hours is plenty

also i changed its thermal paste like a year ago instantly dropped from 70degrees idle to 40

[vital galleon]

should I look into changing the fan into something more silent ?
like a Noctua or a beQuiet ?

[vital galleon]

mine spends some time heating up so I assume the thermal interface is fine
especially cuz it never goes above 70°C under load

[next pecan]

also i loved how you could overclock its gpu

[vital galleon]

mine can't do shiii
the BIOS can't even make use of the iGPU

[next pecan]

factory paste btw

[vital galleon]

also it's not thermal paste but thermal pads I hope ?

[next pecan]

nope just paste

[vital galleon]

what in the actual fu-
i'd put some PTM7950 in it lmao

[next pecan]

aint gonna spend more money on it

also the new thermal paste i used on it was some 2015 paste that i found from somewhere

[vital galleon]

I think the fan in my laptop is 70mm
idk if anyone manufactures such small fans

I can install a Noctua 60mm fan I think
should work well as long as I cut the sides

you need to uncook them
