Jam#0384: IDK man just be more careful
JustinXenyx#8854: Are the screws stuck or are the standoffs just not properly held in place?
JustinXenyx#8854: I had this with an old AM2 rig where the screw and standoff where both rotating so i had to get pliers to hold the standoff in place

TheFifthAce#4128: doesnt matter
nighteden#1154: thinking of pairing it with CL16 3200MHz
TheFifthAce#4128: whichever is cheaper and looks nicest

TheFifthAce#4128: no

Rysing Dragoon#5628: Do they?
Rysing Dragoon#5628: Dang
Rysing Dragoon#5628: Never knew that

nighteden#1154: Huh... I thought they would be most right
Rysing Dragoon#5628: Wdym

TheFifthAce#4128: 2 and 4
TheFifthAce#4128: @nighteden no??
Rysing Dragoon#5628: 2 and 4?
TheFifthAce#4128: not on *any*
Rysing Dragoon#5628: I was told 1 and 3
TheFifthAce#4128: 1 and 3 is large ... |
Rysing Dragoon#5628: Ok, cause I was told that it was 1 and 3
TheFifthAce#4128: I just had better luck with 2 and 4 on the pro4
TheFifthAce#4128: I own the board dude.
Rysing Dragoon#5628: Oups
Rysing Dragoon#5628: I'm reminded every day that people know way more than I do because they actually own that product
TheFift... |
nighteden#1154: so generally 2 and 4 is better
TheFifthAce#4128: yes
TheFifthAce#4128: @Rysing Dragoon have you tried rubber band trick or dremel trick for the screws
nighteden#1154: and now i'm debating actually to go with 4x8 because of that
Rysing Dragoon#5628: Rubber band trick?
nighteden#1154: wait; stripped screw... |
TheFifthAce#4128: yes
nighteden#1154: they prolly used an electric screwdriver

steelpanda#9876: I would like a bit of advice. I currently have a G4560 with 8GB of RAM. I can get an upgrade kit to an i5-3570k with 16GB of RAM (and an MB of course) for 125 euros. Is that worth it?

SuSSudio#2688: If the timing gap between both RAM is too wide, you may notice slight performance inconsistency

JustinXenyx#8854: They put that on Compute Stick clones now?
thatubuntuguy#5914: theres only one clone

JustinXenyx#8854: You're gonna have a pretty THICK "laptop" then
thatubuntuguy#5914: i know

thatubuntuguy#5914: yeah
thatubuntuguy#5914: yeh i know my dad bought a super cheap 10000mah power bank, i tore it down and it had 3.7v 4000mah cells

JustinXenyx#8854: Isn't it super redundant to charge a power bank while using it?
thatubuntuguy#5914: no because the power bank's insides are going inside the laptop
thatubuntuguy#5914: and it should behave like a traditional battery
thatubuntuguy#5914: hold on a second... @TheGeekster

thatubuntuguy#5914: coulomb counter
TheGeekster#8508: this is getting more and more unfeasible 😂
thatubuntuguy#5914: i actually made a basic schematic
thatubuntuguy#5914: but it didnt have the coulomb counter
thatubuntuguy#5914: and that can allow for passthrough because its my pcb

thatubuntuguy#5914: i've seen him work
thatubuntuguy#5914: he's fucking good
TheGeekster#8508: i was on board with the project before as it was putting compatible parts together, but as soon as you start custom making pcb's? that is sure for disaster

thatubuntuguy#5914: *3a
JustinXenyx#8854: I mean, from what i've seen his mini computer and screen all should operate from 5V power

thatubuntuguy#5914: everything operates on 5v
thatubuntuguy#5914: i just input 5v from the brick into the pc

thatubuntuguy#5914: i've visited texas instruments site before
thatubuntuguy#5914: there are ics that can handle 3a charging
thatubuntuguy#5914: but what i don't know is how it behaves when i employ a passthrough type thing
thatubuntuguy#5914: and if i make a custom pcb its peace of mind that i know that it for sure ha... |
thatubuntuguy#5914: which is why i was going to put another battery behind the screen
thatubuntuguy#5914: but will it need balancing if i use a second cell
JustinXenyx#8854: Yes it will
thatubuntuguy#5914: okay
JustinXenyx#8854: I do think it's getting a bit too complicated for you tbh

TheGeekster#8508: what protection features do you want in the laptop?
thatubuntuguy#5914: overvoltage, overcurrent, short circuit
thatubuntuguy#5914: under voltage
thatubuntuguy#5914: perhaps temperature as well if possible
thatubuntuguy#5914: the ti ics have these protections

TheGeekster#8508: that's hobbyist power
TheGeekster#8508: if you want more, contact an OEM
thatubuntuguy#5914: if this similar thing was available for 3a
thatubuntuguy#5914: or even 2a and i can power limit the board

TheGeekster#8508: which is the problem, you aren't trying to tackle a single problem at a time, you're trying to create a finished item without the practise and knowledge of the individual building blocks

thatubuntuguy#5914: okay
thatubuntuguy#5914: i have two 18650 cells

thatubuntuguy#5914: btw the clone comes with a 5v 3a power brick

thatubuntuguy#5914: i know
thatubuntuguy#5914: okay, so there should be just the chip communicating over usb directly with the battery api

TheGeekster#8508: they have a built in arduino onboard 🤔 could interact with the i2c
TheGeekster#8508: but anyway, maybe let's start more basic, USB UPS, able to provide power while charging, without reporting to windows yet

TheGeekster#8508: not ideal, as soon as you start combining multiple cell types together, you need individual charging circuits
TheGeekster#8508: it's best to use matched, so that a charge circuit knows what it's charging, and can balance them together

thatubuntuguy#5914: yeah i just saw

thatubuntuguy#5914: ok it makes more sense now
thatubuntuguy#5914: basically the system output is at like 3.5v or smth (programmable) so i can output that into my boost converter and then feed it into the pc
