💾⠂Hardware & PC Building

[long depot]

Is 500$ usually considered good enough for 1440p gaming?

[obsidian lion]

not for a pc

[restive ridge]

you mean that is the budget you're gonna spend on the whole tower?

[long depot]

Not entirely the cpu and maybeee the gpu

I have an upgraded office desk I got from someone I'm debating whether I upgrade it or just make an entirely new build

It's the optiplex 9010 with 16gb ram and 1660 iirc

But the cpu is horrible I want to upgrade to am5

[obsidian lion]

make new build

[long depot]

Yeah I figured the case is a hassle and everything is outdated I'll probably just save up

[obsidian lion]

i don’t think there’s anything u can rly save from that

if you want am5 you’re gonna need ddr5

[velvet isle]

1440p60? Could be yeah

[lone jackal]

ive heard 1440p is like the best shit ever

like my friend said switching from 1080p to 1440p was as good as crack

hes never done crack but

i trust him

[velvet isle]

Wait until you hear about 4k

[lone jackal]

4k gaming is too underdeveloped for me (im poor my pc is shit)

[granite pollen]

Depends on the games though

[maiden hull]

on the productivity side 1440p+ is awesome

but mainly if you have a monitor that is best suited for 100% scaling

[round hamlet]

Crack is not cool

[grand dragon]

is it really that good?

[lone jackal]

idk i havent tried

oh 1440p

nah i havent tried either

[grand dragon]

i'm thinking about getting high refresh rate oled this year

and they are only in 27" 1440p factor

[rapid perch]

1440p works wonders tbh

[round hamlet]

It’s aight

[polar valve]

worth

msi currently sells 360 qd-oled for 800, and they should be releasing an even cheaper model later this year (would also put downward pressure on 240 if you want a cheaper alternative)

[polar valve]

500 is enough for a gpu, but thats ab it

[tulip sage]

prty,

[tulip sage]

Luh calm trim

[maiden hull]

https://youtu.be/zzAsoDFjdG8?si=SqziZoTxQpOZPlNJ no way this is real 😭

[tulip sage]

thats content if u have a random shtity cpu laying around lol

[maiden hull]

Yea lol

Iirc that looks like AM3

https://github.com/SasaKaranovic/OpenFanController fk this I’m making my own PCB hardware now

I’m making my own fans and AIO one day

https://youtu.be/C8tcsyASQRM?si=hpofDe7wMZtvk2gN

[obsidian lion]

i would eat an arduino if i had one hoenstly

[polar valve]

burn

[grand dragon]

okay so

how stupid is 4080 super for 1080p

1440p 360hz in future most likely

coming from 3070

paired with 5800x3d and 32GB 3600 cl16

[polar valve]

very

but fuck it

if you wanna go that route go ahead

[polar valve]

i see no issue in running it on 1080p temporarily

[grand dragon]

we ballin then

elden ring in 160fps 🙏

[tulip sage]

keep it on 1080p ITS THE ONLY WAY

[grand dragon]

oled tho...

[polar valve]

forced onto tn then

1440p will let him onto the upcoming 360/480 oleds

[tulip sage]

1080p 144hz

[polar valve]

fuck u

[sand geyser]

why keep 1080p

i assume you also need to you know

see

in competitive games

[grand dragon]

fps

and 24.5"

[sand geyser]

i would say seeing the enemy better is slightly better than having 1500 instead of 900 fps

[polar valve]

he doesnt play mc

[grand dragon]

im going to try 1440p but not now

[sand geyser]

i've found I prefer 1440 in cs2 as well as it geniunely makes far away enemies more recognizable

[grand dragon]

oleds are too expensive

[sand geyser]

yeah the price is fair enough

[grand dragon]

on non native res?

im playing on 800x600/ 1024x768

[sand geyser]

2560x1440

i never do non native if I don't have to (excl. FSR/DLSS) because it geniunely pains me to look at

[grand dragon]

i do native only in single player games

in BF/ apex/ cs/ valorant and other multiplayer games

[polar valve]

1920x1440 my beloved

[grand dragon]

i always use some lower res

also what res do people record in if they have 1440p monitors

in 1440p or in 1080p?

[maiden hull]

I always record native

[tulip sage]

they record 1440p

[maiden hull]

I bought a monitor for more pixels

I’m going to capture more pixels too

[exotic parcel]

but 1440p monitors are 27"

[sand geyser]

yet another advantage

[exotic parcel]

i prefer 24

[rapid perch]

ive learned to love oled and 27->32in monitors

[maiden hull]

Me when I prefer 45”

[limpid torrent]

I NEED MORE PIXELS

GIVE ME MORE PIXELS

YES

[maiden hull]

I’ll give you more pixels

That are turned off

Permanently

:)

[limpid torrent]

YES

wait no

please dondt do that to my computer

can u somehow manually overclock my monitor through cheatbreaker

please dont do this to me

[grand dragon]

32 💀

[rapid perch]

unexpectedly nice for editing

[grand dragon]

i'd rather have something good for competitive gaming

[tulip sage]

15" macbook Retina display

[grand dragon]

i hate macbooks

[maiden hull]

I love MacBooks

[main flume]

i

[grand dragon]

wake up

[sand geyser]

macbooks are great but suck at the same time

[rapid perch]

macbook is best for work ngl

organization, workflow, quality of life

you have less "control" over whats on ur system and how it operates but its not rlly necessary tbh

[lone jackal]

ive never used a mac

[grand dragon]

i had macbook

and i prefer my current xps with arch

1000x better

[rapid perch]

i also have the apple ecosystem incorporated into my day to day workflow so

js easier

[maiden hull]

😃

[tulip sage]

something satisfying abt getting work done on a MACBOOK

[maiden hull]

I like getting my cheese with mac

[tulip sage]

blocked

[maiden hull]

liar.

[tulip sage]

youve been fooled.

[obsidian lion]

what about a pc optimized by comp ready

[maiden hull]

Where’s the TikTok

And the reaction TikTok

[obsidian lion]

🧠

[granite pollen]

macOS is a lot better than windows, but linux is the GOAT (for devel)

[maiden hull]

I main all three OSes

Well

I have to for CB

Comparability Ensurance

CE.

[tulip sage]

blocked

[round hamlet]

that is 4 3 right lebronzo

[obsidian lion]

random question but where do u buy ur usernames from

[sand geyser]

It's to sometimes an extreme level, though. I've had few experiences tbf, but what I remember the most is mouse acceleration being forced on and the keyboard layout being straight up different

[tulip sage]

on wat

[grand dragon]

not seeing the file transfer speed is too much already

[sand geyser]

yeaaah

[obsidian lion]

jus for any platform

[tulip sage]

mostly private these days but used to use flipd formerly known as ogu

[obsidian lion]

i might buy cool twt username

[rapid perch]

pmo

[tulip sage]

those are never under 4 grand

[tulip sage]

telegram markets r prob the best place if ur actively searching

[limpid torrent]

more scammers on tg doe

[tulip sage]

dont be an idiot

use me middleman :)))))))Ddd

[round hamlet]

kk

[polar valve]

yeah

only really fun for cs

been trying 16:10 more recently though

[trail moss]

my sister's laptop is 2560x1600 (16:10)

and its crisp

[tulip sage]

Help

[polar valve]

wat is dis

[grand dragon]

[lone jackal]

Can I have one

[granite pollen]

bros gonna do 10 nvenc things

[restive ridge]

does the 4080s have dual nvenc chips

should say on da matrix

[grand dragon]

yes

everything above 4070ti does

[grand dragon]

i think should have bought a new psu as well

[main flume]

congrats

[grand dragon]

nah i hate this shit already

[maiden hull]

WAHT 😭

[polar valve]

why LOL

[grand dragon]

fans make weird sound when on 30%

stock settings are garbage

msi afterburner is ass

[round hamlet]

unfort

[grand dragon]

it's starting to work like it should tho

after overclocking

in gpu tweak 3

it's still broken in kovaaks tho

idk why

[maiden hull]

Which model is it

[grand dragon]

panther oc

[maiden hull]

Never heard of that model lol

[maiden hull]

Is it some roar-like sound or grinding?

[grand dragon]

grinding

it happens only on 30% tho

31% is fine

[maiden hull]

29%? Or is it off

Typically on 0 RPM cards 30% is the starting speed

While on the topic of fan speed if you don’t mind tracking the RPM per % that would be great

Typically you should always avoid 0 RPM unless you don’t mind your card getting 10 C hotter

As long as you find a % that is virtually inaudible and then keep it sustained there until under load

[grand dragon]

i dont think i can set it under 30%

ive tried in curve editor, no weird sounds

[polar valve]

are you just cpu bound or smth

bc wtf is that

oh those lows

yikes

[grand dragon]

lows are what i was talking about

[polar valve]

yeah once i noticed them i figured that was it ;P

[grand dragon]

they went up after turning off hwinfo

[polar valve]

!??!?!?!

[grand dragon]

NMS = no monitoring software

still lower than 3070 tho

[polar valve]

that still shouldnt be a thing

[grand dragon]

yeah

it should perform like 3070 at worst

[polar valve]

it should never be anywhere near a 3070

[maiden hull]

Hold on can you send your entire current hardware list

I forgot

[grand dragon]

i forgot to hit save

30% is the lowest value

[maiden hull]

This still doesn’t tell us any hardware utilization

[grand dragon]

5800x3d
rtx4080 super
2x 16GB 3600 cl16
b450m mortar

[maiden hull]

Did you just say

B450

[grand dragon]

i did

[maiden hull]

oh my fucking god

@polar valve how dependent is this card on Gen 4

[maiden hull]

What about SSDs

I need to know what they are

Normally it doesn’t matter to me if you were on an X570

But since you cheaped out on a chipset
Or just never upgraded over time

It matters now

[grand dragon]

kovaaks is on nm710

[grand dragon]

1 to 2% performance loss

[maiden hull]

Hm

[grand dragon]

i havent upgraded in a while

it's my 3rd cpu on this motherboard

[maiden hull]

That would make more sense

[grand dragon]

3600 -> 5600x -> 5800x3d

next cpu upgrade will include motherboard

not like i'd have a choice

[maiden hull]

Right

[grand dragon]

another weird thing is

i have the gpu clock set to 2780 in gpu tweak 3

but

it boosts to 3GHz in cyberpunk

💀

[tulip sage]

is there any brands that sell stickers to cover the hideous red and blue of the strix gpu

[obsidian lion]

this is prob the dumbest idea ever so dont listen to me

BUT

ngl id just use black masking tape

not masking tape 😭 i mean painters tape

the kind that doesnt leave residue on stuff wtv its called

[polar valve]

waterblock

do loop

but nah i dont think so

[tulip sage]

legit my idea

LOOO

maybe some vinyl and just cut it myself

kk starting my business

gpu skins.

get in while u can folks.

[obsidian lion]

prob the cheapest and easiest solution as long as it isnt flammable

yeah ur fine

[tulip sage]

like idm that theyre experiementing but fuck its so bad for vertial mounted builds

[round hamlet]

What

[tulip sage]

oh my god

another person cancelled on me

im done looking for a used one

im going to microcenter and getting a new suprim liquid x

[round hamlet]

did you get it

lebronzoto

[tulip sage]

sunday

[tulip sage]

Also soon.

this + the 4090 and my pc will be complete

after too long.

saving this here for later

[uneven goblet]

Why is the glass hazy

[tulip sage]

they used smoke to visualize airflow

[obsidian lion]

donate me 5 bands while ur at it thannnks ^^

[tulip sage]

i wihs i could donate myself 5 Bnas.ds.

[rapid perch]

blackout

[tulip sage]

white

atm

end goal but less flashbangs

his gpu is modded tho which looks sick

[obsidian lion]

i love the rilakkuma figures

[tulip sage]

thx my gf gave me them for christmas

theyre not positioned properly cus they moved when i was transporting my pc from basement to 2nd floor but ya theyre so cute

[lone jackal]

I’d put figures in my pc but I hit my desk too much for that

[polar valve]

youre a fucking dumbass

[granite pollen]

use double sided tape

[lone jackal]

I accidentally punched my side glass the other day

I was so fucking mad

[polar valve]

cant w u man

[lone jackal]

I was joking bro 😭

Why would I hit my side glass 😭 😭

Maybe with a hammer 💀

(Maybe I wasn’t joking but pls unblock me)

[tulip sage]

bro

theres no way ur hitting ur desk hard enough to shake ur pc LMFAO

[long depot]

Does the ryzen 5 5600 pair well with the 2060 super or should I upgrade one of them

[tulip sage]

pretty good but gpu is kind of outdated

[long depot]

I'm also considering going for i5 12400F + RTX 4060 but idk might take awhile to save up

[tulip sage]

u should save up

i just dont think the first setup is enough for today's games

[long depot]

I don't play graphically intensive games I just play shit like cs2, valorant, league, fortnite only reason im thinking of going for 4060 is to future proof so i dont upgrade in a few months

Ah ill just go for the 4060 alright thanks for the advice

[tulip sage]

if youre future proofing then def get the 4060 build

[lone jackal]

Don’t even think about getting the 2060S for Fortnite it’s awful

I have a 2060 and r5 5600 and I cant hit 240 in most of my fn games and sometimes I’ll go down to less than 120

I’ve played on my big brothers 2080s and that’s hardly enough for fn nowadays

4060 build defo best choice

[grand dragon]

[*]

[uneven goblet]

Well you won't break able to upgrade in the future, am4 is discontinued

[polar valve]

5800x3d

[uneven goblet]

Don't know if that's am5 not I'm my country

[polar valve]

am4

5600 -> 5800x3d is still quite an upgrade

although yes, its a dead platform apart from that

would much rather recommend saving up for a 7500f and then going am5

[lone jackal]

Tf is this

[grand dragon]

glass panel from my pc case

[lone jackal]

How the fuck

[grand dragon]

at least it was that

[lone jackal]

How!?

When?!

[grand dragon]

I DONT KNOW

yesterday at 11pm

[lone jackal]

It was on ur pc?

So I be HITTING MY GLASS as hard as I can and my glass doesn’t break

[grand dragon]

no

[lone jackal]

Do you guys not have carpet or what

💀

[polar valve]

i genuinely truly hope you dont

[grand dragon]

i dont

[granite pollen]

Im pretty sure it would be too much effort to make the same CPU have different sockets in different countries. No one would care to do that.

[granite pollen]

other than cleaning, why is that?

[polar valve]

completely ignoring the fact that theyd need to switch the i/o die too

since the memory controller for 5800x3d doesnt do d5

[polar valve]

purely cleaning

august is a nasty mf

[granite pollen]

just vacuum every other day.

[uneven goblet]

I'm talking about if the cpu is am5

Cuz thr cpu isn't sold hete

Here*

[granite pollen]

ah

alr

i heard it was only in microcenter or sm shit

idk

[grand dragon]

mmm

[polar valve]

youre thinking 5600x3d

5800x3d is available globally

[granite pollen]

ah thanks for clarifying

[rapid perch]

youd be surprised i play overwatch'

[round hamlet]

wtf??

Nvm dat shit some ass

Snore

[fallen stump]

kill glass with hammer

[main flume]

kill. hammer.

[sand geyser]

fuck i only have a pcie 1.0 psu :(

[granite pollen]

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364669787429?hash=item54e8035d25:g:zFUAAOSw8dllnONL is there something like this but the other way around?

Trying to revive a laptop with a dead screen by turning it into a "desktop".

[sand geyser]

Is there something preventing you from using the HDMI/DP on the laptop board?

[grand dragon]

lmao.

[granite pollen]

The bios only displays on the eDP port

Even with it unplugged

[sand geyser]

I see

It's probably much cheaper to buy a small, cheap eDP display than an adapter board

[granite pollen]

Alr

I'll place in the case like this IG

[sand geyser]

Hell yeah

[main flume]

cool stuff

god i want to have money

[nimble ingot]

useless, aio is bad, custom loop >

[nimble ingot]

ust buy a 4090used, the cheapest and voila, 4k 120 fps

[sand geyser]

(about to be called stupid by 404 in 3.., 2.., 1..)

[nimble ingot]

unstable asf

[grand dragon]

just?

it's 1.5x the price

[nimble ingot]

just wait a 150 % sales 😎

[nimble ingot]

you got scammed

6900xt is same price

also amd dipped

[sand geyser]

not from what I found in Europe

it's generally about 30% more expensive for not that much perf gain

[nimble ingot]

france ?

[sand geyser]

Czechia

[nimble ingot]

ah rip

now i understand

[sand geyser]

shipping from france is extra 20-30€

and only option overseas is ebay

[nimble ingot]

can you import it ?

[sand geyser]

local and overseas are about matched in price anyways

everything is about 30% more expensive here new than in the freedom country

[nimble ingot]

leboncoin + shipping could be done, i have seen a 4090 for 1250 bucks

[sand geyser]

creates more hassle, and no buyer protection

with local (~50km) i can just test it on site

in czechia there's a local site with buyer prot, and with ebay you might as well can try to scam someone with how lenient the buyer protection is

[tulip sage]

buy it then

[nimble ingot]

i can if i want to

[tulip sage]

buy it then

[nimble ingot]

yes master

[tulip sage]

yay

[sand geyser]

high end gpus seem to depreciate faster than luxury sedans

[nimble ingot]

luxury sedans are so shit now it s insane

too bad i do not have a pc

4090 over thunderbolt ?

[nimble ingot]

eh, 4090 is still between 1300 and 200 bucks used

2080 ti is still at 300 for no reason

[sand geyser]

meh, 3070 price but better than 3070

[tulip sage]

i am paying 1950 tomorrow

[sand geyser]

over 800 for a gpu is crazy money

[nimble ingot]

the 50, good old days

[nimble ingot]

?

i mean you r right, with 400 you have a car

[sand geyser]

meh, probably just socioeconomic differences

i can imagine if you get over $4k a month which is avg in some places, and have say $1k leftover, it would make sense

[tulip sage]

my beloved

[nimble ingot]

i m the cheapest guy alive

[nimble ingot]

nice

suprimx have one of the best pcb

[sand geyser]

but you know for $1200 i can buy a w210 e200

[tulip sage]

ive had 2 ppl cancel on me for used ones

[nimble ingot]

true but ugly asf

[tulip sage]

a suprim liquid and a suprim air

so just buying new now

[nimble ingot]

i would get a 190e

[sand geyser]

those are getting expensive now

[nimble ingot]

ls430 >

[nimble ingot]

unfortunately

but i will get a 190z 2.5 16s

[sand geyser]

but like put a 4090 and a skoda octavia/vw passat/w210 in front of me and you know which one i'm choosing

[nimble ingot]

i will chose the 3ds and xbo 360

[sand geyser]

it's crazy how >$700 gpus have been normalized as not "super-high-end"

[tulip sage]

do you think they are

[sand geyser]

i mean, yeah

[nimble ingot]

pcb price ar crazy high now

a 4090 genuinly cost a lot to iuld

[sand geyser]

oh i'm not denying a 4090 costs a lot but i was more talking about the 4070ti/4080 being outrageously priced

[nimble ingot]

amd is cheap because the have cheaped out on everything

[sand geyser]

4090, sure, it's the best card, go all out, fuck it

[maiden hull]

I’m considering repurposing my 12700K CPU but I haven’t been in touch with latest LGA 1700 boards

Thinking about an ITX system and using this build as a development desktop environment and then my 14900K/3070 (or if I choose to upgrade my GPU, I’ll put my 3070 in the ITX system)

Main rationale is so I can have two active physical setups without having to dual boot or use one of my virtual systems and deal with Proxmox

[sand geyser]

4060 is pcie x8

modern amd budget cards are also x8 and they did start it but nvidia fucked over midrange users as well

[nimble ingot]

yeah, pcb saving

[sand geyser]

fucks over any 3+ year old pc that is still viable

[maiden hull]

I’m mainly wanting motherboard suggestions, RAM, and case suggestions. Perhaps PSU suggestions too but I think I can fend for myself

[tulip sage]

i might just put my 3080ti into the racing sim pc i dont think itll sell unless i post it for dirt

[maiden hull]

• I need a desktop DDR5 system for launcher testing since most of my builds are either DDR3 or DDR4

Otherwise I’m probably gonna sell my 12700K

[sand geyser]

fractal ridge? it's very very pretty

and compact

[tulip sage]

r u gonna sell it for dirt

[maiden hull]

Likely

Given on how low the 12700K can get

[nimble ingot]

you don t need case, get a rm850x, and get cheapest adie kit

[maiden hull]

dust 😳

[nimble ingot]

it s literally a myth

[maiden hull]

Oh yeah and I own an RM850X

I stand by that PSU

[nimble ingot]

i never used my case

and i cleaned my pc like every month or so

very thin layer of dust, literally nothing

[maiden hull]

Hm

[nimble ingot]

you have less dust in an open case than a case

less useless fans

[maiden hull]

I did however recently get a dust sucker/cleaner so it’s less of an issue

[nimble ingot]

i used my mom makeup brush

and a air dryer

[sand geyser]

i have literally zero dust, like couldn't find any, on a server that has a 180mm fan running 24/7 at ~500rpm, just because of a dust filter

looking at the filter afterwards, it is very dirty but not horrid

probably depends a lot on where you live and if you have pets

[tulip sage]

arrived today hehe

[maiden hull]

i need to get one myself

[sand geyser]

what that

[maiden hull]

contact frame

[sand geyser]

direct die mounting spacer?

[maiden hull]

nah it's just replacing the clamp for the CPU

the default clamp leaves uneven pressure

[sand geyser]

ic

does lga 1700 run that hot?

actually what am I even expecting it's intel

[tulip sage]

its just free temps real estate

well

[sand geyser]

funny how power efficiency totally flipped since like zen 2

[tulip sage]

$8 but yea

[maiden hull]

i mean my 14900K runs at 80-85C on load with my Deepcool Castle 360 EX

[obsidian lion]

you got it!??!?!

[maiden hull]

yes

[obsidian lion]

holy flip

how much minecraft frame!!?????

[maiden hull]

1 💀

[sand geyser]

at least 3

[maiden hull]

all that for one frame

😃

dw this is on windows

while walking*

[tulip sage]

is that on windows

[maiden hull]

ye

[tulip sage]

i dont get this much frame.

[obsidian lion]

now all u need is 40 series

max minecxraft frame

[maiden hull]

I AM RESISTING 40 SERIES

I NEED TO WAIT FOR 50 SERIES

[obsidian lion]

4070ti super

[sand geyser]

i already have 50 series beat that

[minor cargo]

get 7000 series

[maiden hull]

AMD?

[sand geyser]

all fear my 5770

[maiden hull]

tempting

[minor cargo]

yee.

[sand geyser]

we've gone full circle already

if you say amd 6950 that can mean 2 things

[nimble ingot]

it s just dense

[nimble ingot]

no

amd has wayyyyyyy better opengl performance

2000 series = 3000 series = 4000 series fps

BUT if you use nvidium

that s another story

with a 6900xt you can easly have 11/12 k fps in mc

[sand geyser]

@nimble ingot isn't the 6900xt the same as the 6800xt just with a few more cores unlocked

[nimble ingot]

no

it s faster

get a 6950xt if you can

[sand geyser]

well yeah but same chip and same memory as well

[nimble ingot]

yes ofc, segmentation

[sand geyser]

just 512 more cores which means 6800xt has about 90%

[nimble ingot]

but 6900t is like 15 % faster

6950xt is even faster for same price

[sand geyser]

same price is debatable

[nimble ingot]

faster vram i think

[sand geyser]

and i'd be paying almost 20 cents a core for those 512 more

[sand geyser]

at that point just get a 7000 series

[nimble ingot]

eww

6000 series is literally faster than 7000 series

7000 series is insanly shit

[sand geyser]

i still have no idea where youre pulling those numbers from tbh

[nimble ingot]

it s really bad

6000 series with mpt is best amd arch

after polars

polris

polaris

🐱

[sand geyser]

but like

in what scenario are they better at all

[nimble ingot]

all

[granite pollen]

turn off compositing (if on x11) to increase the framerate even more

alt + shift + f12

[tulip sage]

i got like

4k

actulla yi havent tested revently

cus my tmeps were all bad when i first built it

[maiden hull]

Ye I did that after

[lone jackal]

Since it’s my encoding killing me there’s no point in going to Linux cuz I wouldn’t be able to record higher I’d just get higher fps in game right?

[maiden hull]

Went up to 30K

[granite pollen]

nice

[maiden hull]

I’m just hoping NVIDIA users get to the point where Wayland is usable

[granite pollen]

yea

NVK

[maiden hull]

Probably would remain the same way unless it’s a driver specific issue

At what point does OBS freak out?

[granite pollen]

once the OSS stack is usable wayland will work just as good as amd

[lone jackal]

Anything above 640fps

[maiden hull]

1080p?

Or 720p

[lone jackal]

1080

[maiden hull]

Oh that’s normal on Windows

You might get higher in Linux

[lone jackal]

I’ve never tried 720 cuz when I go to 960fps I don’t hit it ingame half the time

Really?

ITS ON SIGHT

Tellinq can I play Roblox on Linux

[maiden hull]

Your best bet: Try it and see

[lone jackal]

What erm

[maiden hull]

Never tried

[maiden hull]

OBS

[lone jackal]

What thing should I use

[maiden hull]

Distro?

[lone jackal]

I forgot what they called

District

Distri

Negus if

Sksjeuushsg

[maiden hull]

I’m using CachyOS atm because of the scheduler

And NVIDIA improvements

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/705387172785553452/1203480781306208266/image0.jpg

[lone jackal]

I’ve used endeavour before but was on a small small usb

[maiden hull]

I won’t say vanilla arch

[lone jackal]

BRB I just threw up everywhere

Too much info sorry

[maiden hull]

CachyOS is VERY similar to Endeavour in that regard

I prefer CachyOS

[lone jackal]

Ok I’m back

[maiden hull]

https://cachyos.org/download/

I prefer KDE Plasma as it’s Windows-like

[lone jackal]

Tellinq if I partition my ssd into another one can I put Linux on that partition and boot from it

Or does that not work

[maiden hull]

Yeah if you make multiple partitions you should be fine

[lone jackal]

Ok and I can access the data on the other partition while booting Linux right

[maiden hull]

Yes

[lone jackal]

Ok 👍

Time to boot my pc up

This is a good excuse to get Linux again

I needed one more reason to get it

@maiden hull which one do i get wayland or?

wait what i s a wayland

which one

wait am stupid

i think ill go with GNOME

sounds funny

[granite pollen]

KDE is great, but gnome works too.

[maiden hull]

GNOME: macOS-ish but different workload
KDE: Windows-like

Pick your poison

[lone jackal]

ive never had macos so ill try it out !

[granite pollen]

kde is just everything

[lone jackal]

if i dont like it, its not the end of the world i can just install the other one

[maiden hull]

I know @strong sky prefers GNOME

I’m a KDE person

[granite pollen]

not just windows

[maiden hull]

That too

I’ve been able to mimic macOS

Lemmie rephrase:

[lone jackal]

why is it so small?

[maiden hull]

GNOME: A bit locked down, but might be less overwhelming unless you don’t like significant workflow change
KDE: Very customizable, but understand that a lot of customization can overwhelm

[maiden hull]

SS your entire partition layout

[lone jackal]

its fine 15gb is prolly enough

id assume

[maiden hull]

No extend it

[granite pollen]

give it 30

[maiden hull]

To like 120

[lone jackal]

ok

120GB/

[maiden hull]

30 is fine too

[lone jackal]

???

i cant do 120

doesnt let me

i can give it 29553

[granite pollen]

shouldnt matter much if you are above 20 gigs, just dont use swap

[lone jackal]

what is swap

elaborate

telling how do i use the iso i forgot

is up in her

[rapid perch]

[lone jackal]

gluib

[maiden hull]

On a spare USB, get Ventoy

Once you install Ventoy (make sure Secure Boot Support is checked), then drag the cachy ISO in the USB

[lone jackal]

i might already have ventoy

i think i have rufus nvm,

[maiden hull]

I don’t like Rufus but eh it works

[lone jackal]

its fine

[maiden hull]

Ventoy also has the Windows bypass stuff so Rufus feels useless for me

[lone jackal]

ill ventoy

[lone jackal]

is 14gb good enough for the usb

[maiden hull]

Ye

That’s perfectly fine

[lone jackal]

wait do i need to do anything in ventoy?

or just drag the cachy iso into the usb folder, not the ventoy folder though?

[maiden hull]

Huh?

Send screenshots on where you’re at

I’ll direct

[maiden hull]

Ventoy2Disk

[lone jackal]

kk

i opened

[maiden hull]

Go to Option

[lone jackal]

its on

[maiden hull]

Then show me what options

[maiden hull]

Partition Style?

[lone jackal]

MBR//GPT

currently on MBR

[maiden hull]

I do GPT

other than that

[lone jackal]

ok i will do gpt

[maiden hull]

You’re good to go

[lone jackal]

hold up im copying the ISO into the usb

the usb is very slow expected

[maiden hull]

After, the USB will have a new Ventoy drive, THEN drag the ISO

[maiden hull]

That’s going to wipe it if you install Ventoy after

[lone jackal]

ohhh

so install first

[maiden hull]

Ye

[lone jackal]

👍

[maiden hull]

By the way if you ever need to reinstall Windows

I suggest you get an iso for that too

Always have a windows ISO when needed

[lone jackal]

yea i usually do install windows through iso's

[maiden hull]

Best to drag an iso for that too

[lone jackal]

the % of ventoy went from 15% to 12%

💀

its uncompleting

[maiden hull]

me when uncompleter

[maiden hull]

WHAT

[lone jackal]

wait the ventoy was supposed to be ON the usb device right

[maiden hull]

yes

You’re supposed to select the USB

[lone jackal]

like the ventoy files

where ON THE USB

like as in

inside of the usbs storage

[maiden hull]

Sir all you needed to select the drive in the installer

That was it

[lone jackal]

oh

ok doing it again

this time right

its done

[maiden hull]

Alr

[lone jackal]

drag the iso into the ventoy D:

(the usb)

[maiden hull]

Mhm

[lone jackal]

i got this usb stick from my sisters boyfriend

he is cool

[maiden hull]

Wait

Wasn’t the big D a data drive

Did you just wipe your data drive

[lone jackal]

no

[maiden hull]

Oh ok

[lone jackal]

big D was just a random usb stick

it was called big D cuz of tradition

in reality it was very small

im not that stupid dont worry tellink

[maiden hull]

Alr

[lone jackal]

this is hype

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

i might have to do this

drawing cute petite anime boys women

PEWDIEPIE LIKES KOBENI HE IS BASED

@maiden hull now i just restart pc and select usb as boot drive or what?

[maiden hull]

Ye

[lone jackal]

cya in a bit!

[maiden hull]

Press F12 -> USB -> Cachy

And then Normal boot

Don’t do Grub2

[lone jackal]

do u have the cmd to put me into bios

i dont have a delete key or a f12

i forgot which button my function key is

so its either alot of trial and error

[maiden hull]

you WHAT?

[lone jackal]

idk if its the furthest right or the one to the left of that one

[maiden hull]

CMD as ADMIN: shutdown.exe /fw /r /t 0

[lone jackal]

Ty

omg!! Pc not booting!!!!! (Fake)

[obsidian lion]

its WHAT!?!?!?

[lone jackal]

@maiden hull boot in normal grub2 or file checksum

[maiden hull]

normal

[lone jackal]

June what was the software palerain or checkrain

[obsidian lion]

pale

[lone jackal]

My screen is black

Whar happened

[maiden hull]

If it stays for 5 more minutes

Try again

[lone jackal]

It’s fine

Do I install

Offline or online

[maiden hull]

Online

[lone jackal]

Ok

[lone jackal]

Which option

[maiden hull]

Replace

Then select that 28.86 section

As for format

It’ll default to XFS

I use BTRFS

but most suggest ext4

[lone jackal]

Ok

What desktop do I use

[maiden hull]

Send what’s selected right now

[lone jackal]

Plasma

[maiden hull]

Oh interesting

[maiden hull]

Thought it would be GNOME

[lone jackal]

I’ll do plasma

More windowsish

[maiden hull]

GNOME: A bit locked down, but might be less overwhelming unless you don’t like significant workflow change
Plasma: Very customizable, but understand that a lot of customization can overwhelm

[lone jackal]

On plasma do I have to customise

[maiden hull]

I’m more familiar with KDE anyways

[lone jackal]

Like I do not care

Customise or not

[maiden hull]

You can leave it as is if you’d like

[lone jackal]

I’m playing Minecraft and Roblox

On

Ok

[maiden hull]

I changed the global theme to one of Cachy’s defaults

[lone jackal]

Which do I need

[strong sky]

I'm kind of coming around to plasma

I like it better for desktop use

[maiden hull]

Defaults are fine

[lone jackal]

K

[strong sky]

But since I'm on a laptop setup rn GNOME is still useful

[maiden hull]

Also

Did you make sure when you booted into the installer

To select the NVIDIA 900+ option

[lone jackal]

Can I do no password

[lone jackal]

Uhh I don’t know

[maiden hull]

You need one sadly

[maiden hull]

It was basically the black screen you’d get

Had three main options

Second one said NVIDIA

[lone jackal]

Which one wa the top one

[maiden hull]

Normal

[lone jackal]

I think I accidentally clicked that

[maiden hull]

If I were you

Reboot

[lone jackal]

Ok

[maiden hull]

Dw you didn’t mess up

Just better to have DRIVERS that don’t feel like you turned your pc into a sloth

[lone jackal]

Lol

Shit

It’s back to the same screen

After I rebooted

[maiden hull]

?

[maiden hull]

You need to hard shut down

Hold power button

[lone jackal]

Ok

[maiden hull]

Then you’ll need to boot to BIOS manually

Restart the process

[lone jackal]

It’s fine I fixed it

I clicked nvidia this time

[maiden hull]

Alr good

That was quick

Did you figure out your bios key

[lone jackal]

My pc is strong fast femboy

[lone jackal]

Yes

[maiden hull]

Good

[lone jackal]

Tellinq I think I fucked it

It just won’t install

@maiden hull still nothing happened what did I do shocker that I messed up

[strong sky]

Erm

Idk sru

[maiden hull]

wtf

[maiden hull]

Can you vc with me

[lone jackal]

Come

[tulip sage]

It's quite a good upgrade for Zen 2 users (or older)

[tulip sage]

[tulip sage]

[sand geyser]

[tulip sage]

sponsored by tellinq new free Pc

[round hamlet]

Great !

[maiden hull]

I’m trying to resist 40 series so hard

[tulip sage]

jesus christ

[tulip sage]

welp i bought the wrong strimer

only has 3x8pin

its enough but not max

[maiden hull]

My cable situation became a spaghetti mess the moment I decided to split my RGB cables into a controller

Once I replace all my 140mm fans it should be all set

[tulip sage]

TWLLINQ

HELP

HOW DO I GET IT OFF

[tulip sage]

fixed with alc + q tips and compressed air

plate installed

valid ahh application.

cables r routed like thru the fucking tubes

cba to swap fans rn ill do it when i have my lian li ones

[tulip sage]

OH YEA IM WET

[green lantern]

i just came

[sand geyser]

Goddamn

What is the exhaust fan for? 💀

The radiator air stealer 9000

Wait are you doing dual exhaust with the rads?

[tulip sage]

tbh

i dont know which way they are blowing LOL i just screwed them in

[tulip sage]

r u saying i can just get rid of the back fan? cus i think its hideous

[velvet isle]

Use the paper test

[tulip sage]

true

sec

[velvet isle]

Make sure it’s fairly balanced

I think you want positive pressure inside the case

But just a bit

[tulip sage]

LOLKL

both rads are exhaust

and the back fan is exhaust

the only intake is 2 fans in the basement of the case

[sand geyser]

yeah or make it intake

just somehow set it up

[sand geyser]

less dust

[tulip sage]

im gonna change the front 2 to intake

and remove the back one completely

making it 4 intake and 3 exhaust

[quasi void]

looks nice

[tulip sage]

i think im just gonna keep negative pressure until i buy new fans

it looks way too ugly flipped

[sand geyser]

put them behind the rad then

[tulip sage]

smart guy.

one sec

i finally got both my strimers working my dumbass never switched to 2 inputs

i rewired socmany times but it was one button

[grand dragon]

wtf is that

[tulip sage]

nvm i cant put them behind the rad

screw isnt long enough fml

[tulip sage]

i might have a 300iq

i used half of the screws on the fan to rad and the other half on case to fan

jesus the strimers r too bright

[round hamlet]

Strimer

[tulip sage]

way cleaner

with the fans hidden

yeah we cooked

[sand geyser]

that matches the case super well

[tulip sage]

thx for hidden fan idea i completely forgot that was an option

the bare rad looks so good

• im on 4 intake 3 exhaust now

idk why thats the comparison they decided to make but ok

[round hamlet]

Are they best friends 🤩

[lone jackal]

They r lovers

[obsidian lion]

rilakkuma and korillakkuma

i had a plushie of korillakkuma

[quasi void]

looks nice

the case is the hyte y60?

[sand geyser]

I like it, makes MacOS users feel inferior

[maiden hull]

If this is true that really puts shade on my 2070 super

But hey, at least my 2070 super technically beats an M1 Ultra!

[obsidian lion]

how harmful is it to have a bit of smoke in ur room while ur pc is on

[maiden hull]

Why?

[grand dragon]

what kind of smoke

[obsidian lion]

incense

[obsidian lion]

i have incense burning like once or twice a day in my room

it’s not directly near the pc but idk if it’s still harmful

[grand dragon]

it has like oily smoke, no?

[obsidian lion]

i don’t think so

[round hamlet]

I be puffing my cart into my pc

That’s like the worst type of smoke bc it sticks to ur fans I think but I haven’t noticed anything

[grand dragon]

you should be fine if it doesn't

[nimble ingot]

none

[sand geyser]

dirt and stench

i've sadly had to deal with smoker's pcs and laptops a bit

you can smell them and they have this weirdly smoky dust

actual harm? probably none

[obsidian lion]

idm if it smells like incense at all

just was worried it could like damage something

but it’s fine i clean it out regularly

[tulip sage]

it will be destroyed.

[obsidian lion]

your 4090 will melt the rilakkuma.

[tulip sage]

should i undervt

undervolt

[round hamlet]

does it hot right now

if hot yes

if not hot no

[main flume]

thank you for sharing your wisdom

do you know what elses hot

[tulip sage]

max 95C in cinebench

ik no games will stress it that hard but is it worth or NO

[main flume]

you prolly wont lose any performance if do it correctly

does it throttle though

[tulip sage]

no it does not throttle

[exotic parcel]

yay or nay? 3060 12gb (did that a while ago, don't remember why, no instabilities/problems in games, just wondering/curious)

[tulip sage]

does this void warranty

this is the only thing i touched lol

[exotic parcel]

not sure , afaik it only does if you end having a problem with the gpu that actually is caused by OCINg

[tulip sage]

ah

[exotic parcel]

iirc i just followed this https://github.com/LunarPSD/NvidiaOverclocking/blob/main/Nvidia Overclocking.md

[tulip sage]

guys

is intel's auto overclock tool good

[obsidian lion]

no use comp ready

[tulip sage]

kill 8r self

[obsidian lion]

idk anything about overclocking but i don’t think any “auto overclock” stuff will be anything more than decent

[tulip sage]

Yay

yeah its not as aggressive cus it plays it safe

but idk how to do it myself so good enough for me

[obsidian lion]

same here

[granite pollen]

I just dont OC

Stable > +5 fpa

Fps*

[sand geyser]

It's around a 10% uplift for me, which is quite good

Or the other way around, same perf but 20-40% less power

[sand geyser]

Perfectest fit I could've imagined

[main flume]

i love it

[tulip sage]

holy

[tulip sage]

how do i make my aio sleeves/tubes not jagged
