Using an older Asus X551MAV laptop so I don't expect top speeds from the board (also can't use XMP), but this seems waaaaaay lower than it should be. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/719395039851053167/Screenshot_112.png Gamefreak924#5901: Also not sure if it's because it doesn't officially support 8GB RAM, only 4GB. But all 8 show up so I don't know.
Muse#0557: Why are you using userbenchmark Gamefreak924#5901: yeah Muse#0557: Wdym yeh Muse#0557: I asked why Gamefreak924#5901: oh why? Because it's quick and easy? Muse#0557: Is inaccurate as hell Gamefreak924#5901: what's a better benchmarking software? Gamefreak924#5901: everything else seems accurate Gamefreak924#5901: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/29138362 as in my laptop is bad lol Muse#0557: Its painfully outdated it loves low core counts at high clockspeeds Lumaterian#3557: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/719397300933361756/userbenchmark.gif Muse#0557: Ty Muse#0557: Honestly it's like running 3dmark06 to gage a systems performance Gamefreak924#5901: this is a craptop Gamefreak924#5901: but ok
Muse#0557: Doesn't matter Lumaterian#3557: my 2080 ti must be good, look how high my 3dmark vantage score is Muse#0557: Inaccurate is inaccurate Muse#0557: Use a mix of cinebench Muse#0557: Crystal Disk Muse#0557: And actual in game bechmarks Muse#0557: Also on the high end simulation renders Gamefreak924#5901: I just want one singular application Lumaterian#3557: passmark or pcmark are better choices Muse#0557: There isn't a magical app that tells you everything Gamefreak924#5901: userbenchmark Lumaterian#3557: except it tells you incorrect info Muse#0557: It's rubbish Lumaterian#3557: you're literally worse off than not running it Lumaterian#3557: though their memory and storage tests are legit iirc
Lumaterian#3557: but anything that can have brand bias 100% does Gamefreak924#5901: memory Lumaterian#3557: those guys suck intel/nvidia's dicks so hard there's no point Gamefreak924#5901: is basically all I need to know Muse#0557: If you're running a crap top Lumaterian#3557: aida64 has a good memory tester Muse#0557: What exactly are you trying to find out Gamefreak924#5901: :/ never mind Muse#0557: It's just a question Muse#0557: We are giving you much better alternatives Gamefreak924#5901: why my memory is showing to be performing so badly on the benchmark Lumaterian#3557: because it's in single channel Muse#0557: Single channel DDR3 1333 isn't going to be great Gamefreak924#5901: but that bad? Muse#0557: Dual channel is huge
Lumaterian#3557: well the way usermeme's score %age is calculated Gamefreak924#5901: well alrighty Lumaterian#3557: is they take their 'ideal system' and bench the ratings against that Lumaterian#3557: which I would assume is a 9900K and 2080 Ti Muse#0557: Which is absolutely ridiculous to try and compare a Threadripper against Muse#0557: When the app uses like 2 cores Muse#0557: And likes high clocks Lumaterian#3557: your ssd is easily worth 2x as much as the whole laptop Gamefreak924#5901: would you guys know anything else I can do to speed up my laptop more? For whatever reason, it seems to be performing way slower when doing tasks like loading streams/videos recently Muse#0557: Specs? Gamefreak924#5901: I have all the windows settings changed for performance Lumaterian#3557: it's a 2c 5w mobile celeron Lumaterian#3557: you can't speed it up Gamefreak924#5901: specs were in the userbench Muse#0557: The link won't load :/
Gamefreak924#5901: N2830 CPU, 8GB RAM, Samsung 850 EVO Lumaterian#3557: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/81071/intel-celeron-processor-n2830-1m-cache-up-to-2-41-ghz.html Muse#0557: Yeh you aren't speeding that up Lumaterian#3557: cpu is actual trash Muse#0557: It's the cheapest of the cheap Muse#0557: It's like a 15 year old pentium Lumaterian#3557: it's slower than a good core 2 duo Muse#0557: Honestly its probably closer to a pentium D Lumaterian#3557: on something like windows xp, it'll do fine Lumaterian#3557: but for 10, good luck Muse#0557: They put them in windows 10 laptops Muse#0557: Honestly cheap laptops are getting slower Muse#0557: Like cheap cheap Gamefreak924#5901: ouch Lumaterian#3557: yep, idk how they justify those cheap machines
Muse#0557: They allocate the budget to 8gb of ram and emmc instead Lumaterian#3557: I have a chromebook with one of those cpus Gamefreak924#5901: the cheap ones now have quad cores though Lumaterian#3557: and with more than 2 tabs it chugs Muse#0557: Emmc degrades combined with performance so within 3 years they are pure ewaste Lady Mipha#0611: ^^^^ Lady Mipha#0611: emmc becomes slower than HDD’s Gamefreak924#5901: that's an interesting bit of info Muse#0557: I'm a big advocate of buying 2nd hand Muse#0557: It's a win win Muse#0557: And people who are buying cheap things can't be snobs about "eww it's used" Muse#0557: In fact nobody should be tbh Muse#0557: Imagine judging people for spending their money well Gamefreak924#5901: refurb and open box is okay Lumaterian#3557: yeah anyone who says 'eww it's used' is objectively wrong, when it comes to pc parts
Muse#0557: Then gamefreak is wrong Lumaterian#3557: who lol Gamefreak924#5901: used keyboards is why you don't buy a used laptop Muse#0557: Just went against our point Muse#0557: If it bothers you that much Muse#0557: Spend 5 minutes cleaning it Gamefreak924#5901: dude Lumaterian#3557: or, get a replacement keyboard Lumaterian#3557: lots of laptops you just pop em out Gamefreak924#5901: shiny greasy keys Lumaterian#3557: are no match for a cleaning Gamefreak924#5901: chips and hair Lumaterian#3557: canned air Muse#0557: You're being lazy Lumaterian#3557: or a vacuum
Gamefreak924#5901: you don't know what I've seen when parting out laptops Muse#0557: Because I've never seen a laptop keyboard Gamefreak924#5901: hah Muse#0557: Fella I've turnt yellow plastic white again Gamefreak924#5901: it's part of my job Muse#0557: With effort it's fine Gamefreak924#5901: not when you've seen the worst Gamefreak924#5901: but okay Lumaterian#3557: but tbh, if a used laptop is that dirty just don't buy it Lumaterian#3557: doesn't mean new is the only option Gamefreak924#5901: I'm heading to bed now. Goodnight. Thanks for the info before. Gamefreak924#5901: And also, I said refurb and open box is okay Lumaterian#3557: that's Mostly New™️ Muse#0557: Refurb is just used cleaned up and repaired fella Muse#0557: Smh
Muse#0557: My brain Lumaterian#3557: lol Lumaterian#3557: I've had open box stuff where I couldn't tell it had been used before Lumaterian#3557: refurb stuff too Muse#0557: Beggars trying to be not only choosers... But condemning things Muse#0557: Just hurts wiryfuture🦀#1706: y'all can stop crying over having dirt or dust on used shite, the pc I bought had 10 years of dust in it and it took me over 6 hours to clean completely :Hahahahaha: Muse#0557: I wasn't Muse#0557: You little tool wiryfuture🦀#1706: ⚒️ Juryfury#6020: yo guys i have a question... Does it matter if you have an 8 pin power conector on your graphics card and you connect a 6 pin on it ? I thought it wouldnt work but my friend says it worked for him for years until his motherboard dyed... I never thought about doing such a thing it just sounds wrong so does it make any noticable diference and does it have anything to do with the motherboard dying? MythologicalZ#3752: 8pin just has extra sense pins MythologicalZ#3752: some cards can work with just a 6 but its always a gamble MythologicalZ#3752: doubt it has anything to do with the board dying wiryfuture🦀#1706: If it works with 6/8, I'd expect the only *draw*back would be that.. it can't *draw* as much power so might have system instability at high load
MythologicalZ#3752: if a card has a single 8 its generally not going to draw that much power wiryfuture🦀#1706: Is there a difference between this ink > https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4x100ml-Printer-Refill-INK-for-Canon-Pixma-mg2150-mg2200-mg2250-mg3150-mg3250/233351270866 and this ink ? > https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-x-100ml-Printer-Ciss-Refill-Ink-Bottle-For-Epson-HP-Canon-Kit/373074796939 wiryfuture🦀#1706: as far as i can tell they're the same?? wiryfuture🦀#1706: but i'm kinda confused with how it says cannon wiryfuture🦀#1706: is that just marketing shite to make people that search for cannon blah blah to find it estr0#0019: Hey guys, I joined the server because the first thing that came to mind when I think "AMD Athlon 64" is Budget Builds estr0#0019: Basically, I have an old Dell Dimension e521, and the processor is screwed. Bent pins, stuck to the heatsink with thermal paste. It's an Athlon 64 5000+, and I'm wondering if any of you know if the Athlon 64 5000B would be compatible? estr0#0019: It's the same socket, so it should be, but I just wanna make sure estr0#0019: If anyone could help me out it'd be much appreciated! wiryfuture🦀#1706: @estr0 If the socket is the same, it should work. **However**, it would be wise to check if the motherboard needs a bios update before you can use that cpu. wiryfuture🦀#1706: Since they're both ``Brisbane``, they should work interchangeably vegetal#8870: ew brisbane
estr0#0019: Last BIOS update was in 2007 https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/719539672128159814/unknown.png estr0#0019: I can't check if it needs a BIOS update as there's not a processor in there and it won't boot without one. estr0#0019: It probably does, manufactured in 2006. No way of updating it though. estr0#0019: Screw it, I'll buy the same processor estr0#0019: It's Windsor actually estr0#0019: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/719546706592661534/unknown.png vegetal#8870: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K8/AMD-Athlon%2064%20X2%205000+%20-%20ADO5000IAA5DO%20(ADO5000DOBOX).html vegetal#8870: says brisbane vegetal#8870: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K8/AMD-Athlon%2064%20X2%205000B%20-%20ADO500BIAA5DO.html estr0#0019: no, that's not the model estr0#0019: the EXACT model is windsor estr0#0019: ADA5000IAA5CU vegetal#8870: oh huh Argon_18#7133: So anyone know why some of my files randomly lost their icons and won't open with the correct program anymore if I just double click on them from the desktop or the folder they're stored in? DarknessFalls229#2286: did you move the directories to which the shortcuts referred to?
Argon_18#7133: Oh, I might have Argon_18#7133: Ya I think I did Argon_18#7133: oops DarknessFalls229#2286: welp theres your issue DarknessFalls229#2286: either move them back or create new/edit the shortcuts Argon_18#7133: K Cody#0117: Anyone tried Aliexpress Ryzen CPU’s? Cody#0117: Also now back with the Medion motherboard, now have 2x 4 GB in it and still only regonizes 4 of the 8 GB, slots and modules themselves are fine. Kindof running out of ideas as I can’t find any bios updates for it and Medion isn’t helpful at all JustinXenyx#8854: @Cody i've ordered a couple for friends, so far they haven't experienced any issues with them D.D.M#8226: So my gtx 550 ti doesnt want to work on a 16x pcie connector but works with the 4x connector on the bottom of my mobo even tho it supports 16x? D.D.M#8226: Also would a 16x pcie connector be able to recognize any pcie device plugged in? Alcyone#2233: @Cody If you've tried a dimm in the slots individually to ensure they are all working, and tested all the dimms in a working slot. I don't know what would be the issue. Only possible problem I could see is they are mixed dimms/density and for some reason that was causing it. Or some bios issue

Or some bios issue @Alcyone Bios issue seems the most likely 4x2 GB also regonizes 4 GB Bogi76#3090: should i go for RX 570 or 480? Bogi76#3090: both are 4GB VRAM version cause that is best i can get for my budget Lumaterian#3557: 480 is faster Lumaterian#3557: plus you can oc it Bogi76#3090: hmm k Bogi76#3090: any particular one i should look for? Bogi76#3090: like MSI Gaming X or smth JustinXenyx#8854: not any particular ones to look out for JustinXenyx#8854: they aren't too different unless you are an extreme overclocker Bogi76#3090: hmm k tnx for tip
Bogi76#3090: i mean i usually max i go in terms of overclocking is like mild overclock Bogi76#3090: nothing too extreme boog#9487: My tv has a line that runs down the screen and changes color every now and again boog#9487: Is it the panel or the control boards maybe the ribbion cable connections? JustinXenyx#8854: Do you have video of the line? @boog boog#9487: Nope now the tv won't turn on boog#9487: It's on boog#9487: Wait no it's being erratic boog#9487: Based on the fact it tells my computer there's a monitor plugged in ever few seconds I would say a board is dead probably the control board (the one with the inputs) JustinXenyx#8854: Based on that i would estimate the panel isn't the issue either boog#9487: Yeah boog#9487: I'm thinking the big boi controller board JustinXenyx#8854: the panel is only really problematic when that is broken, like when you crack it or some shit boog#9487: Ye Muse#0557: Really does sound like something giving way
boog#9487: Like a capacitor or a board completely? boog#9487: Or maybe just a connection boog#9487: I gotta go on a walk but I'll be back in 15-20 minutes gemsticks#2781: would a ryzen 7 2700 + 1050ti be a bottleneck? gemsticks#2781: just asking to be safe before i upgrade my cpu JustinXenyx#8854: It's not a bottleneck in the bad way @gemsticks gemsticks#2781: huh JustinXenyx#8854: Having your GPU bottlenecked by your CPU is horrifying, but a CPU being bottlenecked by the GPU rarely is an issue, especially in like gaming gemsticks#2781: so if i were to go for it, it would work right? JustinXenyx#8854: Yeah it would run fine gemsticks#2781: since this ryzen 3 1200 is not going well for some games gemsticks#2781: or gemsticks#2781: i could get a ryzen 5 3600 instead gemsticks#2781: and that would work better right? JustinXenyx#8854: R5 3600 would probably work more in your favor, as the better IPC helps more than the extra cores would on the R7 2700
gemsticks#2781: got it gemsticks#2781: but if i were to upgrade my cpu, which one should i ideally go for? JustinXenyx#8854: Definitely the R5 3600 gemsticks#2781: but isnt that a bit of a bottleneck? gemsticks#2781: id rather go for r5 2600 if thats the case JustinXenyx#8854: Again, it's not a bad bottleneck really JustinXenyx#8854: Being GPU limited isn't a bad thing in most cases JustinXenyx#8854: But getting raped because your CPU sucks ass is a nightmare gemsticks#2781: yeah but id rather go for r5 2600 to be safe or whatnot gemsticks#2781: and yeah i know, rpcs3 showed me that gemsticks#2781: thats why i just need a 6-core ryzen JustinXenyx#8854: if you're emulating PS3 i would definitely pick the 3600 over the 2600 JustinXenyx#8854: PS3 emulation needs a fuck ton of CPU power gemsticks#2781: so i should go for the r5 3600 gemsticks#2781: oh well yolo
Muse#0557: 3600 is the best for gaming Muse#0557: Like Justin said best for PS3 emulation out of your options gemsticks#2781: got it gemsticks#2781: since i mainly emulate games after all, might as well go for it gemsticks#2781: Honest question though gemsticks#2781: what ryzen cpu is best paired with the 1050 ti? CaptainFlanger#2563: Ain't Justin already told you that? gemsticks#2781: i just wanna hear others opinions gemsticks#2781: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ mish#5687: my 1050 + i5-7500 + 24gb is a horryfying bottleneck gemsticks#2781: gpu or cpu bottleneck? The United States Air Force#7904: Lol The United States Air Force#7904: Gpu Muse#0557: Don't think about what to pair with a 1050 ti Muse#0557: Think about the best cpu for the money
Muse#0557: Then a Gpu to go with that in the future Muse#0557: @gemsticks Baus#4058: i have a i5 4460 with a 1050ti and the gpu is still the bottleneck Muse#0557: "Muse is right" - Baus Baus#4058: exactly Baus#4058: 1050ti is surprisingly weak and did not age well at all Baus#4058: i got 60fps from 750ti till the day i replaced it, the 1050ti is struggling with newer games The United States Air Force#7904: Rlly The United States Air Force#7904: Wow Muse#0557: Honestly pascal and polarsis have really lame low end gpus Muse#0557: Also the 1050 ti retained msrp for way too long Muse#0557: They still go for £130 new Muse#0557: Which is rx 570 territory Baus#4058: there is a sale on a rx 5500xt for 130$ Baus#4058: somewhere i forgot but i saw it on reddit pc sales
Muse#0557: That's really good boog#9487: I'm gonna provide a bit more information on my Samsung UN65JU650DF it will not turn on and the power light is blinking weirdly seemingly random brightness and such and sometimes it will pulse but almost always off for a bit (or on at a low brightness and then brightens 6 and dims six times) then 6 blinks repeat. it seems to be turning off and on rapidly as my computer when connected keeps detecting it every 10 or so seconds. I have tried unplugging it and holding the power button, slapping it lightly in different places, mashing the power button, and waiting. It did show the smart TV logo once after waiting a good bit before turning off again and doing the same thing again. This never happened again. It worked for awhile before this happened I had just picked up this tv used for cheap and want to fix it. All help is appreciated. Before this happened I had no sound through the speakers and a line down the screen that changed color a few times and seemed to go away that one time it turned on a showed the logo. boog#9487: Any ideas of what could be going bad D.D.M#8226: It either could be a corrupted rom or a part in the tv possibly died D.D.M#8226: Unless you find out what to do i would suggest you to get it serviced by a professional gemsticks#2781: alright r5 3600 it is gemsticks#2781: as long as the 1050ti doesnt effect me too much in emulation boog#9487: @D.D.M i got the thing for free its not like im losing a huge amount of money boog#9487: tomorrow im gonna open it up and check all the connections and if that doesn't work im gonna check the power board for leaky caps wiryfuture🦀#1706: I think my Virgin Media router is dying wiryfuture🦀#1706: the wifi light is flashing green wiryfuture🦀#1706: it has been doing this for like an hour wiryfuture🦀#1706: nothing is wrong wiryfuture🦀#1706: I think the firmware might not be happy with having 16 clients total wiryfuture🦀#1706: (because it's a shite router)

DarknessFalls229#2286: cause i was waiting to respond Tinybox#9112: Quick question; Should I get a new Corsair VS350 (THE NEW EDITION OF COURSE, warranty and everything) for 14 euros?

Yea ill wait for the 2nd guy (local) to respond, and see if I can pick it up, I dunno what I will do with the 2nd one, yet...but eh. thatubuntuguy#5914: Ay lads thatubuntuguy#5914: Having some issues with my T440P thatubuntuguy#5914: I am trying to change the clunkpad for the t450 clickpad thatubuntuguy#5914: If i boot with the new clickpad (its synaptics) i get a 3-3-1 beep code thatubuntuguy#5914: I'm going to try updating bios but its a PITA because I need a disc or smth thatubuntuguy#5914: Ribbon cable is intact because if I connect the old clunkpad the laptop boots normally and the clunkpad works still thatubuntuguy#5914: Nvm it is booting now thatubuntuguy#5914: All working, I think it was just a dodgy connection gemsticks#2781: so my friend uses a really old pc with 8gb ram, i5 750 and a GeForce 210 gemsticks#2781: what’s a good gpu to get that won’t bottleneck his cpu JustinXenyx#8854: what is it with you trying to get GPUs that won't bottleneck a CPU JustinXenyx#8854: Like i've said before, a limited CPU isn't even slightly as bad as a GPU that is being limited by a bad CPU JustinXenyx#8854: Because in this case the CPU is going to limit a LOT of newer cards
Baus#4058: i5 750 is still surprisingly a good cpu Baus#4058: relatively speaking Xbox 360 1953#2640: no gemsticks#2781: no I meant as in like gemsticks#2781: say if he got a gtx 1050 or something gemsticks#2781: wouldn’t the cpu be limited JustinXenyx#8854: Nope JustinXenyx#8854: the GPU would be limited Baus#4058: na 1050 would be good gemsticks#2781: I’m fine with gpu bottlenecks, but cpu bottlenecks are christ Baus#4058: its a weak card gemsticks#2781: also I probably worry too much so sorry JustinXenyx#8854: > I’m fine with gpu bottlenecks, but cpu bottlenecks are christ I think you're using the wrong wording gemsticks#2781: yeah I am
gemsticks#2781: :Xdxdxd: JustinXenyx#8854: GPU Bottleneck = the GPU is the limiting factor JustinXenyx#8854: CPU Bottleneck = the CPU is the limiting factor gemsticks#2781: ok so I’d prefer a GPU bottleneck than a CPU bottleneck gemsticks#2781: cpu bottlenecks are nightmares from what I’ve seen JustinXenyx#8854: > na 1050 would be good you're overestimating how shit the i5 750 is nowadays JustinXenyx#8854: first gen Core i and only 4 cores doesn't mix well JustinXenyx#8854: If a 4 core chip from Skylake already has massive issues with moderately newer programs, a first generation Core i chip is gonna fare MUCH worse Baus#4058: mate the 1050 non ti is really no bueno gemsticks#2781: apologies for asking about bottlenecks though, I’m probably too worried since I’m new to the world of PCs gemsticks#2781: :Xdxdxd: thatubuntuguy#5914: We all learn dw Baus#4058: i have the 1050ti and the 4th gen i5 i have barely breaks 40% in games Baus#4058: even in csgo the gpu is the bottleneck
Baus#4058: and thats saying alot thatubuntuguy#5914: My system with 2500k and rx 470 is still gpu bottlenecked thatubuntuguy#5914: As Justin is saying gpu bottleneck is pretty much normal Baus#4058: cpus really aged really well thatubuntuguy#5914: Yeah, especially the 4c8t stuff JustinXenyx#8854: first gen Core i aged like major trash Baus#4058: especially second and third gen intel thatubuntuguy#5914: Here comes alcyone :Hahahahaha: Alcyone#2233: make sure whatever card you get has legacy bios thatubuntuguy#5914: Anyone mentions 2nd and 3rd gen and he's right there thatubuntuguy#5914: 1155 gang Baus#4058: i honestly regret going from 3rd gen to 4th gen Baus#4058: was so dumb i expected alot more oomph JustinXenyx#8854: > even in csgo the gpu is the bottleneck idk what kinda settings you using in CS:GO, but that game is more CPU than GPU reliant
Baus#4058: nope JustinXenyx#8854: 4th gen is in this weird "this would be decent, if not massively overpriced" phase and it doesn't seem like it will get out of that in the next while Baus#4058: where im from i5 still sell for 200$ Baus#4058: 4th gen Alcyone#2233: thats about the price of an i7k here Baus#4058: and sellers seem to think that the cryptocurrency boom still is strong since an rx 480 is over 500$ Baus#4058: yay Baus#4058: i can honestly send links to online seller and you still won't believe me gemsticks#2781: regardless, what a good gpu to pair with an i5 750 gemsticks#2781: since I assume GeForce 210 is outdated as shit JustinXenyx#8854: Yeah it is lol JustinXenyx#8854: Depending on where you live, a used RX4/570 is most likely the best option JustinXenyx#8854: And he could use that card when he upgrades to a newer platform aswell Alcyone#2233: does the persons psu have ext power connectors? gemsticks#2781: It’s my friend so I gotta ask
gemsticks#2781: plus the pc still runs windows 7 so Baus#4058: maybe go one gen back and go 950? Baus#4058: not gonna argue since i dont exactly know its performance JustinXenyx#8854: 950 barely makes any sense thatubuntuguy#5914: 950 is considerably weaker than rx 470 if i understand correctly thatubuntuguy#5914: not worth it JustinXenyx#8854: In most cases overpriced and you would still need external power for it Alcyone#2233: 950 isnt much ahead of 750 ti thatubuntuguy#5914: could go older gcn if they have the psu and are on a tight budget thatubuntuguy#5914: but if they can afford it a used rx 470 is their best bet Baus#4058: o yea the 750ti Alcyone#2233: if youre using an i5 750 and gt 210, youre on a tight budget Baus#4058: that would pair nice thatubuntuguy#5914: fair enough :Hahahahaha: Baus#4058: no ext power
Alcyone#2233: molex? JustinXenyx#8854: a bit risky for an RX570 imo Alcyone#2233: i was thinking a single 6 pin card JustinXenyx#8854: RX570 is single 6 pin JustinXenyx#8854: But the thing with the molex adapters is that they'd have to pull all 12V power over a single wire JustinXenyx#8854: Which isn't really recommended Alcyone#2233: prob fine then, its gonna pull 75w from the pcie slot Baus#4058: now you can get a molex to 6 pin but i wong trust a psu without a 6pin Baus#4058: that's either very old psu or some proprietary one for a pre built Alcyone#2233: maybe a 950/960 wouldn't be too bad then. maybe a 750 ti if they arent overpriced Alcyone#2233: 960 is 120w i think and 950 is 90, that should only be 45w over a molex, 15w for 950 Alcyone#2233: rx 460/560 could be an option too thatubuntuguy#5914: rx 470 is like 90w card thatubuntuguy#5914: 75 over pcie thatubuntuguy#5914: 15 over molex, shouldn't be too bad right?
Alcyone#2233: that would be fine Alcyone#2233: that is hardly>1 amp Alcyone#2233: so like 3-4 fans thatubuntuguy#5914: online its rated at 120w thatubuntuguy#5914: but my rx 470 definitely pulls less thatubuntuguy#5914: amd drivers show about 80-90 watts Alcyone#2233: could undervolt and limit PL as well thatubuntuguy#5914: ^ Baus#4058: well to ask someone with an rx470 Baus#4058: is it worth getting or no? JustinXenyx#8854: > rx 470 is like 90w card AMD is laughing in the corner right now, knowing fully well their cards drew 90w from the PCIe slot ALONE at launch :Hahahahaha: @thatubuntuguy Baus#4058: im thinking of ditching the 1050 but im a bit lost what to get JustinXenyx#8854: 470/570 is a decent card, but it depends on how much it is Alcyone#2233: id get at least a 480/580 if you are coming from a 1050
Baus#4058: if im gonna buy im gonna get them from ebay or amazon Baus#4058: prices are much more reasonable Baus#4058: so rx 580 is good or is it more sensible to go full beans with rx 5600 JustinXenyx#8854: RX5600XT wouldn't make a lot of sense unless you plan to upgrade your CPU as well in the coming months Baus#4058: im waiting for 4th gen ryzen Alcyone#2233: i wouldnt bother with rdna1 tbh Alcyone#2233: get a $100 polaris and should be good for 1080p. get a better gpu later. this winter will have new gpu launches from both mfgs Baus#4058: sounds reasonable Baus#4058: my monitor is 1080p after all thatubuntuguy#5914: @JustinXenyx :haha: lmao Ramiere#1840: Ever since building my new pc it shuts off immediately after pressing the power button like kills all power and sometimes when i turn it on it starts the fans for a split second but doesn’t turn on. I can live with this but does it harm my components at all? JoshTheTechie#2808: I've had pc's in the past do a similar thing and there problems where the motherboards in them where broken but they did not turn on at all. yours might be something different
JoshTheTechie#2808: I'm sure someone on here knows what's going on and will know more about it but going off my experience it could be an issue with the motherboard JustinXenyx#8854: Something is being shorted @Ramiere JustinXenyx#8854: And yes, this has the potential to harm your components JoshTheTechie#2808: have you looked if the motherboard is shorting by touching the case? JoshTheTechie#2808: i know a few people who have left screws out on boards at the back of the motherboard touching the metal caused a short Ramiere#1840: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/720414523399602269/image0.jpg Ramiere#1840: Nope nothing Ramiere#1840: Maybe the hard drive touched it or something? JoshTheTechie#2808: no it can touch that metal in the pc case if there isn't enough screws in the board or not enough to stop contact between the motherboard and the metal of the case JoshTheTechie#2808: but if its not that another component is shorting out and as @JustinXenyx it can does have to potential to harm your components BigPierogi#3368: first question BigPierogi#3368: did you wire your button correct JoshTheTechie#2808: that's true @BigPierogi as his case might have a restart button like most new cases wiryfuture🦀#1706: what does having a restart button have to do with something being shorted wiryfuture🦀#1706: > Maybe the hard drive touched it or something?
This isn't the verge pc guide, your components are supposed to be in the case, not floating, so it's fine if your hard drive is touching your case wiryfuture🦀#1706: A pc I once got my hands on would power off because the audio cable was connected to audio_link instead of *hd* audio because the pinout looked similar, maybe you wired something up incorrectly by accident Ramiere#1840: My usb connector has 2 extra pins for grounding maybe thats it Ramiere#1840: @JoshTheTechie my case is super old Ramiere#1840: With my old set up when i pressed it it would say shutting down and power off as if i clicked power off button on the windows screen. This one just kills power. Ramiere#1840: And i meant touching the mobo not that case Muse#0557: Anybody here in the UK or Europe selling pc parts? Lumaterian#3557: I'm in neither of those places but I am selling Muse#0557: If the shipping isn't too bad I might still be interested Muse#0557: If its the us that's a DOA Lumaterian#3557: I am murica Muse#0557: Deaded gemsticks#2781: I asked a similar question early today, but what’s a good NVIDIA gpu to pair with an i5 750? gemsticks#2781: I got “RX 470” last time, but my friend wants an nvidia gpu Lumaterian#3557: 1st gen i5 is hot garbage
Racey#8574: first gen as a whole is hot garbage gemsticks#2781: yeah but still asking gemsticks#2781: he needs to replace his gt 210 first Racey#8574: Probably the GTX 970 at best Racey#8574: A tech helper will probably give the best feedback gemsticks#2781: time to wait!!! gemsticks#2781: thanks anyways, appreciate it gemsticks#2781: if it helps my friend lives in the US MythologicalZ#3752: You're going to end up paying for more for similar performance to a 470 MythologicalZ#3752: No reason to go Nvidia at the low end thatubuntuguy#5914: @Ramiere This sounds weird but try seeing if you've overtightened the motherboard screws thatubuntuguy#5914: I built this £2000 pc for my school's racing team's simulator and it wouldn't boot - thought the motherboard was dead thatubuntuguy#5914: turns out i had accidentally over tightened one of the motherboard screws thatubuntuguy#5914: it must have shorted the entire motherboard out thatubuntuguy#5914: but loosening it a bit fixed it and it booted right up
thatubuntuguy#5914: I know it's a little different in your case but i think its still worth trying Muse#0557: How would a 3550 handle cemu Muse#0557: Specifically botw DarknessFalls229#2286: @Muse probably fine? i ran BoTW on my Q6600 @3.6GHz with 6GBs of DDR2 and an r9 270x at 20+ FPS with vulkan 7020p DarknessFalls229#2286: Q6600 was around 80-90% utilization and r9 270 at 40-60% DarknessFalls229#2286: i might've used not the most optimal GPU drivers though Muse#0557: Hoping to get a full 60 though Muse#0557: We're you using all fps hooks DarknessFalls229#2286: think so yeah DarknessFalls229#2286: what GPU you planning on? DarknessFalls229#2286: Also, what are you looking to buy? Muse#0557: 570, 1060 sorta tier DarknessFalls229#2286: might be better to go nvidia and openGL for now as i dont think vulkan has precompiled shadercache Muse#0557: 570s are half the cost of a 1060 at this point DarknessFalls229#2286: hmmmmm
Muse#0557: Seems like a bad call to pick that for one game DarknessFalls229#2286: yeah DarknessFalls229#2286: and with asynchronous compute shadercaching isnt that laggy anymore DarknessFalls229#2286: i should put my shoddy 690 on my testbench and test FPS with that Muse#0557: Double kepler is double trouble Lady Mipha#0611: :trolled: DarknessFalls229#2286: yeah, but ive done it before, and cemu doesnt really wanna work on my dual xeon system Muse#0557: I'd be going something ivy Muse#0557: And 570 Muse#0557: For I'd say around 120 Muse#0557: Mobo, cpu, Gpu and ram upgrade DarknessFalls229#2286: hmmmm your i5 would be about 30%+ faster than my Q6600 so that would already be a performance uplift DarknessFalls229#2286: need to get proper drivers to see the actual performance of my Q6600 though Muse#0557: I5 3550 is a bit more than 30% faster DarknessFalls229#2286: remember, i run mine at 3.6GHz
DarknessFalls229#2286: thats literally 50% over base Muse#0557: That's fair DarknessFalls229#2286: i tried more than 3.6 but it crashes at 3.8 instantly DarknessFalls229#2286: ill try on my other board maybe another time DarknessFalls229#2286: @Muse are you gonna play with keyboard, KB&M or controller? Muse#0557: Bit of both DarknessFalls229#2286: keyboard only is a little hard to control, but keyboard and mouse is pretty nice, but you need an emulator to use it Muse#0557: Yep DarknessFalls229#2286: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/720610559959236628/unknown.png Muse#0557: Gonna pick up a switch lite at some point tii Muse#0557: Too DarknessFalls229#2286: i really want a switch DarknessFalls229#2286: but im spendin all my money on pc parts Muse#0557: Same especially with borderlands on the go wiryfuture🦀#1706: I can't get to my bios
wiryfuture🦀#1706: my computer boots into windows fine, but if i spam del/f2/f10 the screen stays blank wiryfuture🦀#1706: i'm not seeing the standard oem image at boot either wiryfuture🦀#1706: it just stays black and then windows wiryfuture🦀#1706: how do i get into my bios? wiryfuture🦀#1706: there's no option in window's advanced boot options to go into uefi settings Muse#0557: Unplug storage Muse#0557: It normally spends more time hanging trying to look for a boot device Muse#0557: Also making sure the pc is properly off helps Muse#0557: It'll take longer to boot wiryfuture🦀#1706: I can't unplug storage if I want to install an os 😅 wiryfuture🦀#1706: apparently there's another way to bget into uefi from windows Muse#0557: USB should be prioritised by default Muse#0557: And boot into that :/ wiryfuture🦀#1706: what the fuck wiryfuture🦀#1706: I clicked into advanced start up options in the windows "advanced boot options" menu and clicked restart and all I have is a black screen
wiryfuture🦀#1706: my screen goes black when I try boot off a linux usb as well Muse#0557: That's not good Muse#0557: Have you tried clearing the cmos? wiryfuture🦀#1706: yeah I'm going to try that in a sec wiryfuture🦀#1706: I still can't get into the bios wiryfuture🦀#1706: this is cringe Muse#0557: Cronk wiryfuture🦀#1706: I give up i'll just save up for ryzen thatubuntuguy#5914: hey guys what's a good motherboard for the 3700x MythologicalZ#3752: virtually anything b450 MythologicalZ#3752: msi for vrms, asus for bios, try to avoid giga and asrock is for when the first two are oos thatubuntuguy#5914: epic thatubuntuguy#5914: thanks gemsticks#2781: question, would a ryzen 5 3600 work with an asus prime a320m-a? gemsticks#2781: this motherboard spiecfically
gemsticks#2781: <https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/PRIME-A320M-A/HelpDesk_CPU/> Lady Mipha#0611: yeah but a320 is the worst board gen there is @gemsticks Lumaterian#3557: ^ Lumaterian#3557: yes but don't TheFifthAce#4128: and dont get an asus prime gemsticks#2781: i currently use it gemsticks#2781: thats why im asking lol gemsticks#2781: if i do getthe ryzen 5 3600, will i have to do anything special to the bios? gemsticks#2781: i already updated it to the latest gemsticks#2781: oh i get it gemsticks#2781: nvm but thanks for the help anyways gemsticks#2781: probably will still be able to handle ps3 emulation i hope gemsticks#2781: but ill have to upgrade the gpu p soon gemsticks#2781: but is using the ryzen 5 3600 gonna cause any problems with my mobo? gemsticks#2781: other than 3.6ghz clock
gemsticks#2781: ok i looked it up and appreatly the tempreatures can rise alot gemsticks#2781: is this true or nah gemsticks#2781: if so i may just go for another cpu Muse#0557: I don't see any issues happening at stock Muse#0557: The 3600 has the same tdp as the ryzen 5s that came out at the same time as a320 gemsticks#2781: might as well get it MythologicalZ#3752: 3600 will be fine on a320, would just need bios update MythologicalZ#3752: But that really is a shit tier board thatubuntuguy#5914: Is drp4 suitable for 3700x or would it be better to go aio thatubuntuguy#5914: Making list for a friend gemsticks#2781: yeah i know its not very good gemsticks#2781: but i was just worried if it would do anything bad gemsticks#2781: ill probably replace the motherboard once i get a better gpu MythologicalZ#3752: Either is fine for a 3700x MythologicalZ#3752: Would go air for long term, AIO gay
TheFifthAce#4128: aio stinky TheFifthAce#4128: drp4 is over the top Lumaterian#3557: fuck aio Lumaterian#3557: drp4 overkill Lumaterian#3557: get shadow rock 2 or 3 Lumaterian#3557: they're much cheaper and still probably overkill thatubuntuguy#5914: drp4 it is then thatubuntuguy#5914: :Hahahahaha: thatubuntuguy#5914: If he wants to oc later on it'll be sick Lumaterian#3557: I meant overkill as in you can push a 3700X as far as it'll go on a shadow rock Lumaterian#3557: dark rock is a waste of money for amd MythologicalZ#3752: only oc you do on ambient for 3700x is what pbo decides MythologicalZ#3752: manual you'll only degrade it thatubuntuguy#5914: pbo?

BigPierogi#3368: Or like a button Razorsz#5056: ill try, if not ill mash the keys a bit lol Razorsz#5056: not booting again, ye ill just take em all off Razorsz#5056: uhg theyre those old plastic style chiklet keys Razorsz#5056: i dont wanna break em lol Razorsz#5056: lmao i ficxed it my some keyboard mashing Razorsz#5056: and the new ram works Razorsz#5056: theres still a stuck key tho xd Razorsz#5056: so annoying, idk which kewy it is xD somewhere around the a and 6 key i think Razorsz#5056: reeee Razorsz#5056: wait....its tab caps shift or ctrl..i think? nani Razorsz#5056: its the caps key
Razorsz#5056: *i think* Razorsz#5056: well...caps is fixed, the other key isnt xD Razorsz#5056: i think i found our culprit Razorsz#5056: the caps key and the Q key Razorsz#5056: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/721421822888771674/3a658765-a67d-499a-8128-111f2713bb6a.jpg Razorsz#5056: @BigPierogi ladies and gentlemen, we got em Razorsz#5056: 10% battery aaaaa Razorsz#5056: well, we have a working laptop, gonna save any important files onto a drive then slap 7 on this..i want this laptop now kek Bisexual Billy#9476: Hi there all, I've got my server up and running there appears to be something rather odd going on. My P420i controller is detected in the UEFI however it isn't detected in the ACU (Array Configuration Utility). wiryfuture🦀#1706: My windows drive isn't booting on one of my laptops, could it have something to do with the fact that the laptop i installednui on had a celeron 540 and this one has a 8250u? wiryfuture🦀#1706: hmmm wiryfuture🦀#1706: could this be bios? (on the celeron) wiryfuture🦀#1706: before uefi existed JustinXenyx#8854: Yeah it's likely the UEFI install of Windows causing your issues
wiryfuture🦀#1706: *bios wiryfuture🦀#1706: I'm going from celeron 540 to 8250u wiryfuture🦀#1706: i think the laptop might be uefi only JustinXenyx#8854: Tried booting in legacy mode? wiryfuture🦀#1706: because of Toshiba's custom uefi wiryfuture🦀#1706: I can't modify the bios wiryfuture🦀#1706: otherwise I'd just install locally Muse#0557: I'm legitimately confused Muse#0557: Which laptop are you having issues with JustinXenyx#8854: He is trying to use a Windows install from a Celeron 540 on an 8250u Lady Mipha#0611: ^^^^ wiryfuture🦀#1706: I think it's because the celeron installed it using bios and the 8250u only supports uefi JustinXenyx#8854: And since that Install is legacy it might have issues on the newer i5 laptop which boots in UEFI natively Muse#0557: Why not just create another installation media? JustinXenyx#8854: @wiryfuture🦀 It should 100% still boot in legacy, but it's more a UEFI thing where you need to have legacy mode
wiryfuture🦀#1706: guess I'll just wait until my friend will let me use his i5 8600 pc or whatever to do iy wiryfuture🦀#1706: my i3 2100 pc's motherboard is fucked up wiryfuture🦀#1706: I blame intel motherboard :crome: Muse#0557: My brain hurts Muse#0557: I must be speaking a different language again Muse#0557: Because that makes no sense to me Lady Mipha#0611: that or you’re tired Muse#0557: I thinks it because Philip just jumps between 8 things Muse#0557: And Justin has done a good job of approximating what he is saying Muse#0557: Also yes tired wiryfuture🦀#1706: :Xdxdxd: Muse#0557: Just answer my one question Muse#0557: Why not create another installation media wiryfuture🦀#1706: Because it works fine and is on the most recent release wiryfuture🦀#1706: it's the computers being bios & uefi not the installation media
wiryfuture🦀#1706: whatever, problem solved: pain Muse#0557: I'm going to lie down Muse#0557: Wait no I cant Muse#0557: I'm going to go watch futurama wiryfuture🦀#1706: I just got electrocuted by a laptop charger wiryfuture🦀#1706: weird, I've never had that happen to me wiryfuture🦀#1706: the charger wasn't plugged into the laptop, i pulled it out of the socket and that familiar feeling of your hand going numb haha 😅 JustinXenyx#8854: what did you touch? the part that goes into your laptop or the part that plugs into your wall? wiryfuture🦀#1706: into wall I guess wiryfuture🦀#1706: it must have and arced, there's no way i touched the metal while pulling out by the plastic :crome: DarknessFalls229#2286: your hand going numb? electricity stings like a thousand needles wiryfuture🦀#1706: eh wiryfuture🦀#1706: Guess I'm just used to it haha :crome: Muse#0557: As long as you don't have a pacemaker Muse#0557: Or need a pacemaker
Muse#0557: You should be fine Muse#0557: You'd know if it was a proper shock wiryfuture🦀#1706: I've been shocked a lot of times, I defo know wiryfuture🦀#1706: * touches positive and neutral on socket :Hahaha: * wiryfuture🦀#1706: this could just be availability bias, but I'm pretty sure my joints are always extra click-y after a shock Xbox 360 1953#2640: is there a psu spreadsheet or anything wiryfuture🦀#1706: my gpu won't display any video on my windows install, it's set as primary display output in bios, I've checked cmos, I've checked cables, the igpi boots windows fine with video, but with the 7950 I get nothing, however many times i press win+p. I got the gpu to show once when i disabled igpu in device manager in windows, shut down and out the gpu in, but after trying to install adrenaline with the 'reset' option enabled on the installer (installation has been through multiple systems), after the restart, nothing again (no matter what I've tried) mi3night#2562: Ok so my parent’s fridge broke down...what’s a good fridge for $600? Racey#8574: The Xbox Series X wiryfuture🦀#1706: @mi3night a used one probably? Abe.#3344: I might end up with £700ish in a month or 2, what's the best upgrade from a 2200g and 960? I do video editing/Blender stuff as well as gaming. MythologicalZ#3752: 3700x and then whatever happens gpu wise wiryfuture🦀#1706: anyone here know how to flash BIOSs on intel boards? wiryfuture🦀#1706: I have all the bios files I need, ver 44, 99 and 120, and an "iflash" exe for ver 44 but idk how to use it, since in the f7 update menu it says that this version of the bios doesn't support updates through that menu and need iflash, i searched it up and you have to boot off a usb with the iflash and .bio file, but how?
D.D.M#8226: Hey guys so i am planning to buy a laptop for school and i am not sure what brand i should buy from and specs than can handle some titles like cs go, valorant something like those D.D.M#8226: Any recommendations? vegetal#8870: cldvo vegetal#8870: clevo MythologicalZ#3752: no, just get new ryzen shit, those games are easy to run MythologicalZ#3752: plus good battery for school work BigPierogi#3368: also BigPierogi#3368: whats your budget D.D.M#8226: Idk about 500€ max thatubuntuguy#5914: @Xbox 360 1953 See the PSU tier list thatubuntuguy#5914: It's on LTT forums, very comprehensive Xbox 360 1953#2640: fifth says it bad iirc Muse#0557: One day I will be motivated enough Muse#0557: To make a list for every component thatubuntuguy#5914: 🙏 not actually a bad idea
Muse#0557: The Gpu one is bae thatubuntuguy#5914: The ultimate pc building guide thatubuntuguy#5914: Thing is we'd have to update it every 6 months Muse#0557: It's a psd Muse#0557: So it's not too bad thatubuntuguy#5914: Yeah i guess so Muse#0557: Honestly don't even know if I would add the 3090 and crap Muse#0557: Just makes decent cards seem weaker than they are Muse#0557: 1080p very high isn't low end Muse#0557: But with 3090 added those cards would be moved down to there thatubuntuguy#5914: Just say it's like ultra high end I guess thatubuntuguy#5914: Creme de la creme thatubuntuguy#5914: Or like separate guides for different resolutions? Muse#0557: Already have super high end thatubuntuguy#5914: So like a 1080p buyer's guide and a 4k buyer's guide
Muse#0557: It's not a buyers guide Muse#0557: It's a hierarchy thatubuntuguy#5914: For GPUs I meant thatubuntuguy#5914: mb Muse#0557: Markets change so much Muse#0557: And used prices it's just not reasonable thatubuntuguy#5914: Yeah i understand, it was my bad phrasing Muse#0557: I'll make a storage one Muse#0557: Combining all types Muse#0557: Psu Muse#0557: Cpu thatubuntuguy#5914: Yeah i see what u mean then, it's weird bc dirt cheap cards last year like rx470 are considerably more expensive now thatubuntuguy#5914: so there's no telling what could happen thatubuntuguy#5914: Fair Muse#0557: They were down to 70
Muse#0557: Now they are over 100 thatubuntuguy#5914: Yup thatubuntuguy#5914: I copped mine for £90 thatubuntuguy#5914: Rio copped a 470d for like £40 iirc Muse#0557: I'll make hierarchies for Storage, PSU and Cpu but I need some input from other members and tech helpers MythologicalZ#3752: psu and storage in a simple tier list is too hard TheFifthAce#4128: storage isnt TheFifthAce#4128: psus are thatubuntuguy#5914: Storage not really but psu can depend a lot on wattage, use case, and budget MythologicalZ#3752: drive by drive? TheFifthAce#4128: I'm the psu and ssd guy @Muse MythologicalZ#3752: seems pretty hard to me TheFifthAce#4128: :based: Xbox 360 1953#2640: based on what TheFifthAce#4128: on the 54th regiment
MythologicalZ#3752: guess if you go by specs it wouldn't be hard MythologicalZ#3752: then just link to drives off the sheet with the specs TheFifthAce#4128: all my homies hate phison s11 MythologicalZ#3752: 🙏 Muse#0557: I was thinking updating the 2.5" and m.2 ssds Muse#0557: Then combining them and throwing in some popular HDD choices TheFifthAce#4128: hdds should never be used TheFifthAce#4128: fuck hdds Muse#0557: Yes Muse#0557: But Muse#0557: People will still use them TheFifthAce#4128: Paying for cloud NAS is cheaper TheFifthAce#4128: and quieter Muse#0557: This thing called being broke Muse#0557: My WiFi is way slower than my wd black
TheFifthAce#4128: h Muse#0557: Just put a wd blue in the bottom tier Muse#0557: Also some Toshiba and Seagate drives TheFifthAce#4128: wd blues are fine Muse#0557: Then black a tier above Muse#0557: Or something TheFifthAce#4128: wd greens are not fine Muse#0557: So green and server drives in bottom TheFifthAce#4128: server drives are fine too? Muse#0557: Blue and stuff a tier above Muse#0557: Then blacks a tier above Muse#0557: You know what I mean Muse#0557: Slow long lifespan drives TheFifthAce#4128: it depends on capacity TheFifthAce#4128: 5400 rpm 8tb drive is faster than a 2tb 7200 rpm drive
TheFifthAce#4128: assuming its not smr Muse#0557: Most people are going to be buying a 1 or 2tb TheFifthAce#4128: you're making big generalizations that are just cring Muse#0557: Gotta sacrifice inclusivity Muse#0557: For accessibility MythologicalZ#3752: ehh, I think those are fair generalizations MythologicalZ#3752: this is bbop, not bapc TheFifthAce#4128: 2 categories TheFifthAce#4128: cringe and not cringe Muse#0557: I can just add a note at the bottom Muse#0557: Saying bigger HDD faster Muse#0557: I'll figure something out later Muse#0557: When I feel alive Muse#0557: I'll consult you both Muse#0557: Harass me later if I forget
Xbox 360 1953#2640: so bigger hdd faster? that's interesting Xbox 360 1953#2640: so like, 4tb 5400 is faster than 2tb 7200? DarknessFalls229#2286: more platters and drive heads = more speed mi3night#2562: Wd blacks are good mi3night#2562: But they’re expensive DarknessFalls229#2286: cause it can read multiple sectors at once Xbox 360 1953#2640: oh, that makes sense mi3night#2562: Tbh just get wd red mi3night#2562: They’re ok priced $100 4tb mi3night#2562: @D.D.M I’m decent with laptops I can help u. What’s ur budget D.D.M#8226: Well i qm not sure witch brand of laptop i should get and what specs mi3night#2562: Used or new? D.D.M#8226: Maximum amount i want to spend is 500€ D.D.M#8226: New mi3night#2562: What country
D.D.M#8226: For school and some lighter and older games D.D.M#8226: North Macedonia mi3night#2562: If It’s for school do u want a ultrabook or a gaming laptop D.D.M#8226: Well a gaming laptop yes mi3night#2562: Oh ok try to get a acer nitro 5 mi3night#2562: They’re pretty solid for budget gaming laptops mi3night#2562: 8300h 1050 D.D.M#8226: Ok i will search for it Muse#0557: I don't think abrasst was being literal about a 4tb 5400rpm being faster mi3night#2562: Hard drives are dying mi3night#2562: I bet ssd is gonna take over in a few years Muse#0557: Yeh but its a now list Muse#0557: Not a 2023 list Xbox 360 1953#2640: would plc or hlc still be better than an hdd? mi3night#2562: Is it true that a bigger ssd is faster than a smaller ssd in terms of capacity
Alcyone#2233: larger capacity ssd that are the same model usually have better transfer speeds TheFifthAce#4128: @Muse ...but it is true TheFifthAce#4128: higher capacity HDDs, excluding SMR, are faster than lower, even at lower rotation speeds Muse#0557: Ik Xbox 360 1953#2640: whats the point of smr? is it just to make cheaper higher capacity drives JustinXenyx#8854: precisely @Xbox 360 1953 JustinXenyx#8854: shingled magnetic drives serve as a cheap way to make them high capacity, but that comes at a HUGE caveat. They're more like "store your shit all at once and then access it" but not drives you constantly store data on, which is why they serve more as "archival" drives Spartacutie#2806: Hey guys, long time reader, first time need-er... of help, I guess. Basically, I bought an old phone for a dollar (much like the Budget King himself) and its pretty decent, but I'm wanting to flash a lightweight custom OS to it and was wondering if anyone had some good suggestion. The phone is a Samsung Galaxy Precedent (kinda like a Samsung Mini) running Android 2.2 (Froyo). I've googled a lot and I have some ideas already but wanted some second opinions Spartacutie#2806: I edited because my punctuation sucked JustinXenyx#8854: To keep it honest, don't expect a lot of usability out of a phone like that. They're old and you cannot fix shitty specs with a new OS Spartacutie#2806: I'm not looking for a powerhouse. I'm actually switching to digital minimalism and just need something for calls, texts, emails, and to read ebooks Spartacutie#2806: Maybe the occasional Youtube video, if I'm ever away from my computer for some reason in the middle of quarantine Spartacutie#2806: But I also understand if that might be unrealistic Spartacutie#2806: (I know I could use the stock OS, but it's kinda slow Spartacutie#2806: )*
JustinXenyx#8854: I personally feel like Youtube is pretty much out of the question and even e-mailing is gonna be a massive shit fest Spartacutie#2806: OOF Spartacutie#2806: But thanks for the clarity and honesty, tbh JustinXenyx#8854: This phone is proper "bottom of the barrel" stuff, with as much RAM as a modern day calculator while having a pretty weak-sauce ARM chip from 2011 with a properly small screen Spartacutie#2806: True, but I think that's what makes them so charming, in a way Spartacutie#2806: I'm probably weird for that lol but... Lumaterian#3557: yeah you need a phone that shipped with 4.4 at minimum for 2020 usability Lumaterian#3557: something like nexus 5 JustinXenyx#8854: The issue here is that we're dealing with what seems like a lower end - midrange set from 2011. Lower end - midrange phones from 2010- late 2012/early 2013 are almost unusable in 2020 even for basic tasks, while a modest low end to midrange phone from mid-2013 onwards usually still works fine even with the stock rom (although a little sluggish) Spartacutie#2806: Ah, ok Spartacutie#2806: Guess I'll have to... cry. I mean... buy another JustinXenyx#8854: I mean you didn't spend a whole lot of money on the phone, so i wouldn't say you lost that much Spartacutie#2806: Lol I know. Just thought I might have had a good sleeper. Still a cool looking paperweight so... Spartacutie#2806: I'll take it JustinXenyx#8854: If you are serious with this whole "digital minimalism" thing i would probably go with a cheaper 2013 (or newer) flagship, because then you won't have any spec issues, can usually find loads of custom roms and you won't suffer from screens as small as modern-day smartwatches
Spartacutie#2806: True JustinXenyx#8854: Minimalism shouldn't mean taking loads of compromises and having a shitty experience, at least in my books gemsticks#2781: question but what would be a good gpu to pair with ryzen 5 3600 gemsticks#2781: once I get a job I’ll have to replace my 1050 ti JustinXenyx#8854: I feel like a solid GPU to pair with an R5 3600 is an RTX 2060 Super/2070 or 5700XT, but i would wait until later in the year JustinXenyx#8854: The new cards are supposed to come out this year, which would make current cards cheaper and newer cards available JustinXenyx#8854: Given that a you have a 1050Ti i would say that an upgrade isn't needed soon and the wording "once i get" also makes it clear that you getting a job might not be very soon gemsticks#2781: yeah gemsticks#2781: thanks again Justin gemsticks#2781: also wouth the r5 3600 work with 2133 mhz of ddr4 ram? gemsticks#2781: (16 GB to be exact) JustinXenyx#8854: It would work but it would be stupid to use it like that gemsticks#2781: wdym stupid JustinXenyx#8854: Ryzen CPUs like fast memory gemsticks#2781: uh oh
gemsticks#2781: so im in trouble then? gemsticks#2781: ehhh not so much gemsticks#2781: as far as emulation goes ill be fine JustinXenyx#8854: I'd say you are in trouble JustinXenyx#8854: You're gonna loose a **decent** chunk of performance because of slow memory like that gemsticks#2781: most games are locked at 30fps for rpcs3 though gemsticks#2781: and most videos show that 2133 mhz seems to be fine Sentient Potato#6003: 2133 works for ryzen but it's not the best gemsticks#2781: ah well gemsticks#2781: ill replace the motherboard eventually then Xbox 360 1953#2640: does the board act fucky above 2133 or smt? mi3night#2562: 2133 mainly used for servers mi3night#2562: Although many servers in 2020 is starting to use 2666 and 2933 Alcyone#2233: if you already have the ram you might as well try overclocking it and or running asynchronous fabric clock Xbox 360 1953#2640: Anyone know what this is? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/722116691508592710/JPEG_20200615_115345.jpg

Lumaterian#3557: usually not on the first time Lumaterian#3557: but yeah it can Lumaterian#3557: wait for it to finish then scan the drive Lumaterian#3557: with something like crystaldiskinfo Xbox 360 1953#2640: ok ill do that, thanks Xbox 360 1953#2640: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/722141734230032454/unknown.png Xbox 360 1953#2640: i kinda forgot until now but uh Xbox 360 1953#2640: theres that Lumaterian#3557: wow that's exceptionally bad
Xbox 360 1953#2640: some old hitachi drive that says its running at 1.5 Gb/s Lumaterian#3557: sata link speed doesn't matter Lumaterian#3557: for hard drives anyway Bertie Kemp#1114: Hi guys, my brother has just got £500 for his bday today and wants to upgrade his cpu and mobo. He has a Z97-E mobo, 16gb ddr3 and an i5-4790k. He also has a gtx 970 and 144hz monitor. Could someone help me advise him on what parts to buy for a good upgrade path? His budget is £500 russ_the_b#5525: a better gpu russ_the_b#5525: if he got some cash left an i7-4790k is good upgrade uoʇsodɾ#2412: When do you think, if ever, will the new features (like WDDM 2.7) in the Nvidia 440 driver will be available for Kepler Quadro's in laptops? Most current supported Driver is 418. Lumaterian#3557: 4790K is a great upgrade if you can get one for 90$ US or less Bertie Kemp#1114: Cant get a 4790k at the moment, definitely not for that price due to covid, used market is basically dead where I am. Surely any better gpu will be bottlenecked by the i5 uoʇsodɾ#2412: Seconded that better GPU would be the better upgrade. I would go for a 2060 super. https://www.notebookcheck.net/GeForce-GTX-970-vs-GeForce-RTX-2060-Super-vs-GeForce-RTX-2060-Max-Q_6279_9893_9631.247598.0.html Bertie Kemp#1114: Hes mostly complaining about not being able to watch youtube or do anything on his pc whilst playing rainbow six siege, my idea was to upgrade his cpu now since he needs it for the multitasking, then around xmas he could get a gpu upgrade Lumaterian#3557: something like that would definitely be bottlenecked by a 4c i5 Lumaterian#3557: also you've linked an article on 2060 Super Max-Q Bertie Kemp#1114: I was thinking he could get a good B550 mobo, a ryzen 5 3600 and 16gb ddr4 Bertie Kemp#1114: Any better recommendations then that?
uoʇsodɾ#2412: Out of stock. russ_the_b#5525: you will get bottlenecked with something like a 1660 but a 1050-1060 is still a better gpu and no bottlenecks uoʇsodɾ#2412: 1660 = 1060 russ_the_b#5525: now isnt a good time to jump to a new platform plus if its only gaming the cpu is fine russ_the_b#5525: yeah no i was wrong even with a 1660 you should be fine nothing over 10% Bertie Kemp#1114: It's not only gaming, its multitasking whilst playing a cpu heavy game, and his 970 is fine for the games he plays, the only thing he is complaining about is not being able to multitask when playing games uoʇsodɾ#2412: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IDjImUA2WI wiryfuture🦀#1706: *cries in hd 7950* uoʇsodɾ#2412: Go with a i7 if you could find one for under $150. Save the rest for a 2060, 2070, 1070, or a 1080. A 1080 can be found used for under $400. uoʇsodɾ#2412: 1660 = 1050 ti. russ_the_b#5525: i meant productive stuff like video editing and such multi tasking would be great with the i7 Bertie Kemp#1114: Theres no real upgrade path with the i7 however uoʇsodɾ#2412: Yes. Faster stock clock and hyperthreading. At best hyperthreading gives a 30% performance increase with a 10% power increase per core. russ_the_b#5525: unless you are rendering with your cpu the i7 should be great till its a better time to upgrade Bertie Kemp#1114: why is now a bad time to upgrade and what do i do if i cant find him an i7?
uoʇsodɾ#2412: I'm using a i7 4900MQ and still find it quite fast. uoʇsodɾ#2412: Everything is out of stock. russ_the_b#5525: shits out of stock so alot of stuff are overpriced Bertie Kemp#1114: ryzen 5 3600 is around £160? is that overpriced? uoʇsodɾ#2412: I want my X570 Mobo for under $370 but is currently found for $500. :/ MSRP is $370. uoʇsodɾ#2412: Find a mobo. Bertie Kemp#1114: b550 mobos are out tomorrow right? uoʇsodɾ#2412: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ti38JS8RuPU Bertie Kemp#1114: found a i7 4790 for £100 from cex, good deal? uoʇsodɾ#2412: no K? Bertie Kemp#1114: no k Bertie Kemp#1114: k is £210 Bertie Kemp#1114: he wouldnt overclock it anyway Muse#0557: Better value to get a full tower tbh Muse#0557: Just upgrade the psu with a 6 pin fsp
TheFifthAce#4128: dont pay money for haswell @Muse TheFifthAce#4128: not u uoʇsodɾ#2412: The i5 overclocked may still give better performance than the i7 no k. TheFifthAce#4128: @Bertie Kemp Bertie Kemp#1114: So if i shouldnt get the i7 and shouldnt get ryzen, what should i get for him? Muse#0557: You should get ryzen Muse#0557: Who said you shouldn't TheFifthAce#4128: you should get ryzen Bertie Kemp#1114: Well with people saying to get the i7 instead i assumed they thought getting an i7 would be better TheFifthAce#4128: ryzen is the very best option TheFifthAce#4128: no TheFifthAce#4128: the i7 is not better Muse#0557: Did the person with the mobile I7 say not to get ryzen TheFifthAce#4128: who said to get the i7? uoʇsodɾ#2412: A 3.5GHz quad core Ryzen will be faster than any 4th gen quad core Intel.
TheFifthAce#4128: yes TheFifthAce#4128: dont buy i7 TheFifthAce#4128: waste of money TheFifthAce#4128: no upgrade path TheFifthAce#4128: hot Muse#0557: Biskit Muse#0557: What's your budget Muse#0557: First off TheFifthAce#4128: ryzen 5 1600af is 110 pounds brand new uoʇsodɾ#2412: No upgrade path if you always buy new. TheFifthAce#4128: what uoʇsodɾ#2412: Think about it. Muse#0557: Jpos Muse#0557: Stop spreading false information TheFifthAce#4128: you sound like an edgy redditor
TheFifthAce#4128: shut the up Muse#0557: Biskit if you could just say your budget Muse#0557: Then we can help with good recommendations Bertie Kemp#1114: I have an i7-4790k and 980ti in my pc, i was gunna recommend ryzen to him over the i7 upgrade, my plan is to wait until tomorrow when the b550 motherboards are out, get the best mobo he can afford, stick an 3600 in it and grab 16gb of ram TheFifthAce#4128: dont buy b550 Bertie Kemp#1114: Why not? TheFifthAce#4128: overpriced Muse#0557: It's the same feature set as B450 for a premium price Bertie Kemp#1114: But then he would have a better upgrade path TheFifthAce#4128: they're x570 boards with sli disabled and less usb, theyre extremely over- TheFifthAce#4128: no TheFifthAce#4128: they are not b450 TheFifthAce#4128: they are x570 with stuff disabled TheFifthAce#4128: @Bertie Kemp no TheFifthAce#4128: amd says b450 supports 4000
TheFifthAce#4128: so it has the same upgrade path Bertie Kemp#1114: i thought b550 would support 4000 and maybe up to 6000, the 3 gens of support like we are used to TheFifthAce#4128: no Bertie Kemp#1114: did i miss an article on the upgrade path? TheFifthAce#4128: amd is dropping am4 for 5000 Bertie Kemp#1114: well crap TheFifthAce#4128: they only promised am4 support through 2020 uoʇsodɾ#2412: If you always buy new then even if the platform supports a upgrade by the time it is worth upgrading then you are buying a new mobo anyway. TheFifthAce#4128: 4000 will be the last one TheFifthAce#4128: @uoʇsodɾ thats only true for intel TheFifthAce#4128: you are stupid TheFifthAce#4128: please shut up Muse#0557: ^ Muse#0557: 👍 TheFifthAce#4128: am4 supports everything from 1st to 3rd gen ryzen atm, and 4000 will be supported too

TheFifthAce#4128: thats a year old TheFifthAce#4128: lmaoo TheFifthAce#4128: you dont know what youre talking about jpos Muse#0557: That's 3rd gen though Muse#0557: Completely out of date TheFifthAce#4128: people have 1700s on b550s already Muse#0557: And doesn't do anything but back us up TheFifthAce#4128: so that chart is already wrong uoʇsodɾ#2412: It's a chart from AMD. TheFifthAce#4128: that chart is TheFifthAce#4128: A YEAR OLD TheFifthAce#4128: they have already rectified it TheFifthAce#4128: and changed support
TheFifthAce#4128: you DONT KNOW WHAT YOURE TALKING ABOUT Bertie Kemp#1114: I know he's already bought 16gb ddr4 so i think hes made up his mind on upgrading from ddr3 + haswell, so just need a bit of help finding a good motherboard and cpu for £400 TheFifthAce#4128: @Bertie Kemp b450-a pro max, 2600, then get like an 8 core zen 3 later Muse#0557: 2600 Muse#0557: B450 Muse#0557: Hey look Muse#0557: People agreeing Muse#0557: People who know their shit Bertie Kemp#1114: any point waiting till tomorrow, will prices on 'old' stuff go down or not really TheFifthAce#4128: zzz Muse#0557: No prices won't change in a day TheFifthAce#4128: b550 releases tomorrow TheFifthAce#4128: that why he ask Muse#0557: He referenced "old stuff" TheFifthAce#4128: @Bertie Kemp some boards might go back into stock because of b550
TheFifthAce#4128: but thats all that really might happen Muse#0557: I doubt prices will change Bertie Kemp#1114: okay, but a 2600 wont be any cheaper or anything? TheFifthAce#4128: nah TheFifthAce#4128: just get a 6 core 2nd gen ryzen chip and a decent b450, he can upgrade later to something like a 3700x/4700x TheFifthAce#4128: should be like 250 pounds Muse#0557: Honestly for 400 TheFifthAce#4128: and the 2600 can handle up to a 2070 easily Muse#0557: He could already get a 3700x TheFifthAce#4128: tbh he could uoʇsodɾ#2412: AMD has a lot better support for upgrading there platform but has and can still pull an Intel. TheFifthAce#4128: but they didnt TheFifthAce#4128: so up shut TheFifthAce#4128: you are providing nothing of substance TheFifthAce#4128: to this conversation
TheFifthAce#4128: and are providing useless, wrong information uoʇsodɾ#2412: But they did. And went back on it because of backlash. Muse#0557: He just said "You're completely correct about support from AMD... But what if they randomly pull a 180" TheFifthAce#4128: intel never went back on anything because of backlash TheFifthAce#4128: :uwuPip: uoʇsodɾ#2412: P4. uoʇsodɾ#2412: Itanium. Muse#0557: If your strongest point is a 14 year old cpu TheFifthAce#4128: I can't believe how irrelevant your interjections are TheFifthAce#4128: like honestly TheFifthAce#4128: just shut the fuck up TheFifthAce#4128: you arent being helpful Muse#0557: He is :M25: in the head TheFifthAce#4128: @Bertie Kemp if you wanna spend full 400, 3700x and a b450-a pro max means you wont need to upgrade for a long time, if you wanna save money now and upgrade to a 4th gen chip later, b450-a pro max and a 2600 uoʇsodɾ#2412: I can't believe how toxic you are. Are you still hurt from bulldozer?
TheFifthAce#4128: lol TheFifthAce#4128: bulldozer sucked cock TheFifthAce#4128: fuck fx TheFifthAce#4128: worse IPC than the pentium 3 vibe Muse#0557: You're spreading false information and leaking shit from every hole Muse#0557: We aren't going to be inviting to that uoʇsodɾ#2412: What info was false? wiryfuture🦀#1706: https://discord.com/channels/355098188312477696/545181464363401216/722167962911506614 probably Muse#0557: That I7 is a good buy Muse#0557: Ryzen is bad uoʇsodɾ#2412: That came from AMD. How is that false? Muse#0557: They have changed their plans Muse#0557: Also it proves nothing uoʇsodɾ#2412: I never said "Ryzen bad i7 good". Muse#0557: Even if it were true
Muse#0557: Going to pull out my eyeballs Bertie Kemp#1114: Okay, @uoʇsodɾ I appreciate you trying to help but i think ryzen is the way to go. @Muse and @TheFifthAce, think ive got a better idea at what to buy now, thanks guys! Muse#0557: Biskit TLDR... Don't buy a 6 year old I7...

Both not worth it. Both at the top of the stack for there socket. thatubuntuguy#5914: lmao wat Muse#0557: And Intel has such a track record Muse#0557: Isn't every I7 at the top of their socket uoʇsodɾ#2412: Ryzen support is better than Intel support. I just don't count on support 3 gen's out from AMD. At that point it's more of a coin toss. Intel has no support 3 gens out. They will most likely axe X299 (X59 and X79 had support over 3 gens). AMD is making it hard for intel in the DIY PC. OEM's have yet to embrace AMD. Lumaterian#3557: hold on MythologicalZ#3752: x399 only got 2 gens lol
uoʇsodɾ#2412: No. locked I7 and the 35W desktop I7 are not at the top of the stack. Lumaterian#3557: first of, all you've invented a chipset Lumaterian#3557: X59 doesn't exist Lumaterian#3557: second, X5**8** and X79 only had 2 generations MythologicalZ#3752: all intel hedt has only had 2 Lumaterian#3557: except X299 Lumaterian#3557: which has 2 or 3 depending how you slice it Muse#0557: Or 1 MythologicalZ#3752: yeah its a bit messy Lumaterian#3557: that too lol uoʇsodɾ#2412: X299 has 2 at best. X79 has 3ed gen, 4th gen, and 5th gen. Lumaterian#3557: Skylake, Skylake 2, Skylake with a Vengeance MythologicalZ#3752: x79 has no 5th gen? Lumaterian#3557: X79 has 2nd and 3rd gen Lumaterian#3557: what are you smoking
Muse#0557: Amd are supporting 4 (actually decent generation leaps) on a single board Muse#0557: I don't think that's ever been done before Muse#0557: How can you say bad support Muse#0557: Also what is your point here Muse#0557: Everything you are saying is either bending the truth Muse#0557: Or completely pointless Lumaterian#3557: it makes sense if you are wrong and believe X79 and X99 are the same thing, kinda Lumaterian#3557: though it does omit the existence of sandy bridge Bertie Kemp#1114: Does the ROG Strix B450-E support the 4th gen ryzen cpus? Muse#0557: Check the product page for a motherboard to check uoʇsodɾ#2412: Correction I forgot about X99. X99 3ed, 4th, 5th. X79 2ed and 3ed. Lumaterian#3557: holy shit I had no idea there was a B450-E Muse#0557: ? MythologicalZ#3752: x99 has haswell and broadwell e MythologicalZ#3752: x79 has sandy and ivy
Lumaterian#3557: which are 4th and 5th Lumaterian#3557: which are 2nd and 3rd Muse#0557: Even then Muse#0557: This is only one minor mistake Muse#0557: He has spouted out Muse#0557: @MythologicalZ @TheFifthAce @JustinXenyx Fellas care to help develop a cpu list? uoʇsodɾ#2412: My i7 HEDT knowledge is not that great.

TheFifthAce#4128: because then 8700k would be near the top despite being a bad purchase Muse#0557: I've had a bit of an idea Muse#0557: To recommend a cpu at most price points Muse#0557: Or a few cpus Muse#0557: Depending on what's available TheFifthAce#4128: I mean I can do that later Muse#0557: It would help avoid what we just witnessed here TheFifthAce#4128: vibe

JustinXenyx#8854: > holy shit I had no idea there was a B450-E @Lumaterian B450-E is just a branding thing, the chipset is still just B450 Lumaterian#3557: yes I'm aware Lumaterian#3557: I mean the SKU of board Lumaterian#3557: I thought the only one worth a damn was the F Muse#0557: Tbf I didn't know either Lumaterian#3557: it wasn't sold in north america Lumaterian#3557: probably because that would be a good thing Lumaterian#3557: since it has a fuckin killer vrm Lumaterian#3557: classic asus being stupid Muse#0557: Justin did you see the ping I sent you? JustinXenyx#8854: Yeah i did, i was gonna answer something but i'll have to retype Muse#0557: Ah JustinXenyx#8854: Even with B550 coming out tomorrow, you can find tons of B350 or B450s for solid prices right now new and used and i very much think that new B450 boards might take a decent price cut because sellers want to move the old inventory out of make place for more B550 stuffs Muse#0557: B450 isn't that well stocked rn

Muse#0557: > = less than - = about this much wiryfuture🦀#1706: please no not 2nd gen intel wiryfuture🦀#1706: first gen i3 :crome: Muse#0557: £1 lmao wiryfuture🦀#1706: I don't care how much it costs if it isn't going to be a good experience lol BigPierogi#3368: sell it to dollar Muse#0557: Budget has videos showing the i3 is fine for like 50p wiryfuture🦀#1706: why are these disabled drivers still being manufactured https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/722194331770814474/unknown.png wiryfuture🦀#1706: 2TB at 5400rpm wiryfuture🦀#1706: at least 7200 come on mi3night#2562: X99 is the last platform u want to go to for gaming mi3night#2562: Or if u want muticore
mi3night#2562: Or if u want any performance mi3night#2562: X99 or 2011-3 is good however if ur going to be running a server with a lot of pcie slots mi3night#2562: For example 10 gb ethernet, raid card, a lot of nvme Muse#0557: Who mentioned x99 uoʇsodɾ#2412: Currently 2 TB is the largest HDD sold in the 2.5 inch 7mm form factor. MythologicalZ#3752: probably the hedt thing from earlier mi3night#2562: @Muse I mean 2011-3 in general. You can take advantage of the pcie lanes mi3night#2562: So for example if you’re running a server with a lot of pcie stuff you can get it mi3night#2562: Tr4 x399 exists but the mobo are stupid expensive uoʇsodɾ#2412: HEDT is for people who need the PCIe lanes. I prefer the AMD Epic over TR. Better ECC support and better CCD to CCD laintcy. mi3night#2562: Expensive uoʇsodɾ#2412: All of HEDT and it's server stuff is Expensive. 😛 mi3night#2562: But yeah if u get 2011 u ain’t buying it for the perf JustinXenyx#8854: u ain't buying it for the price either Lumaterian#3557: in fairness to intel hedt
Lumaterian#3557: they have 0 ccd to ccd latency Lumaterian#3557: but it also sucks ass Lumaterian#3557: currently watching this 7900X get beaten in my benchmarks by a fucking i7 4770 Lumaterian#3557: for gaming performance Lumaterian#3557: what a goddamn meme uoʇsodɾ#2412: Intel HEDT was good for workstations and light servers. AMD chiplet has so far proved to be better. The massive dies are just to hard to make at a good price and intel 14nm was hard for them to get to and even harder to leave. Alcyone#2233: turns out the ringbus doesnt game so well when you break it up into little ring taxis Muse#0557: Massive dies Lumaterian#3557: this mesh *sucks* Lumaterian#3557: I miss my X99 Lumaterian#3557: and my 1600AF Lumaterian#3557: though in fairness to Intel Lumaterian#3557: they don't market it for gaming Lumaterian#3557: and it wasn't designed for this Alcyone#2233: I wonder how it fares against oc x79
uoʇsodɾ#2412: Intel's problem is there massive die's, 14nm, 10nm , and outdated architecture. Mesh is good with 100+ cores on a single die. 18 cores makes no sense. Muse#0557: Lithography and die size is not the same thing JustinXenyx#8854: 14nm dies would be fucking mad Lumaterian#3557: well considering I'm getting higher superposition scores with E3 1245 v3, which is clocked lower than the i7 4770 (3.8 single core boost) vs my stock 7900X (4.5 single core boost) Muse#0557: Can somebody else explain please Muse#0557: I cba Muse#0557: Gonna go die Lumaterian#3557: can someone please point me to this 100c chip Lumaterian#3557: I want to cinebench it Muse#0557: Justin explain lithography Muse#0557: Ty baby JustinXenyx#8854: no uoʇsodɾ#2412: Large die of the 7980XE. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/722208402004246538/Intel-Core-i9-7920X-Extreme-Core-Count-Core-X-Delidding.png Muse#0557: Fair enough.. Given up educating him too? JustinXenyx#8854: no wikipedia just does it way better
