Just recently made the switch from AM4 to AM5. I ended up with 96GB of RAM due to a deal I got locally. Any idea what I could use all this RAM for?

>>106431780
Make a ramdisk maybe

>>106431780
Run 24000 instances of DOOM

>>106431780
keep 64 and sell the other 32 or give to a friend that might need it
you truly dont need 96 gb , you probably dont need 64 either

>>106431829
Can't do that. It was 2x48.
>>106431786
How much faster would a ramdisk be compared to my gen4 NVME?

>>106431833
In theory about 10 times faster in sequential operations

>>106431833
10x faster in the worst case
More than 100x faster if you're reading small files

my new PC has a NPU in it, what are some sane things I can use it for?

>>106431913
doesnt pc usually have a gpu to do neural processing

>>106431913
Apple, right?
You can do shit with AI if you want.

>>106431882
thats making a lot of braindead assumptions
realistically its probably much less than 10x

>>106431923
It's a 8600G and I don't use videocards. SFF build.

>>106431932
>You can do shit with AI if you want.
I asked for sane things.

>>106431935
Memory latency is 80ns
SSD latency is in the miliseconds

>>106431951
cool story bro
nice assumption of no other bottlenecks

>>106431833
>How much faster would a ramdisk be compared to my gen4 NVME?

gen4 NVME is at best 7000MB/s with latency in microseconds. DDR5 6000MHz is ~60000MB/s with latency in nanoseconds.

>>106431970
would my rimworld installation benefit

>>106431998
it might load a few seconds faster, more with a bunch of mods

>>106431998
Keep in mind that You would have to load the entire game into the RAMdisk every time you wanted to play it.

2x24gb or 2x32gb for heavy gaming and sillytavern coomgen? (5070ti + 98003xd)

>>106432067
the idea is that you have that handled automatically on boot

>>106432075
Just go for 2x32. I did your mistake back when half life released. I bought a new computer that year with 24mb ram, and I couldn't run it since you had to have 32mb.

>>106432075
DO:
2x16GB DDR5-6000 CL30
2x24GB DDR5-6000 CL30
2x32GB DDR5-6000 CL30
2x48GB DDR5-6000 CL30

DO NOT:
4x16GB (unless you want your RAM to be slow)
4x24GB (unless you want your RAM to be slow)
4x32GB (unless you want your RAM to be EXTRA slow)
4x48GB (unless you want your RAM to be EXTRA slow)

REASONING:
- 6000 CL30 is a Hynix 16Gb A-die and Hynix 24Gb M-die bin.
- Hynix 16Gb A-die and 24Gb M-die are currently the best DDR5 memory chips for compatibility/stability/overclocking and performance
- Speeds higher than DDR5-6000 may default to 2:1 mode which is bad for performance.
- Some Ryzen 9000 series chips can't run DDR5-6400 or 6200 in 1:1
- DDR5-7600+ performance wise is a viable alternative to DDR5-6000 however it's more dependant on motherboard quality. DDR5-6000 should work on basically anything. Many boards can't do DDR5-7600. Some CPUs can't do DDR5-8000
- If you want more performance you can always just overclock the 6000 CL30 kit instead of buying a DDR5-6400+ kit that you might have to underclock if your CPU/motherboard can't run it.

kind a make sense except If I would want to use it exclusively for pc use and multitasking
also kinda does not make sense when even a S95F 55" on sale will cost 3x as much as a discounted G80SD
but yeah it will be significantly better in HDR and everything so maybe that will be an experiment for later years, maybe they will release 240hz TVs soon enough too

Samsung seems competitively and even cheaper or as cheap as LG in the USA but here Samsung qdoled TVs is consistently priced higher and never any insane deals like on LGs, not to mention they never release the S90 series in QDoled below 65" now

S95 77" on a heavy discount is the only logical next step for HDRmaxxing

Someone who owned a miniled and oled, tell me, how big is the gap?

Gaming Trio is worth the $40 over the MSI Shadow/Ventus, whichever CPU platform you choose.
You're already spending over $800 for a video card, an extra $40 for one that runs quieter & with more OC headroom isn't that costly.
Get the Radeon 9070 XT Hellhound ($720) if you don't need/want CUDA, DLSS, & multi-frame generation.

From what I've learned the only issue is the 2nd M.2 slot being used reduces the GPU slot to x8, but the 3rd and 4th (the 4.0 ones) are fine, as is the 1st 5.0. So I'll just use the 1st, the 3rd and maybe 4th, not an issue.

That sucks, but what kind of info does it send? Also if it only sends info to asus, I don't care that much since I live far away from the countries they operate in.
You can recommend me a gygabyte mobo instead though, since asrock is a nono, and msi apparently have some bios issues on am5 chipsets.

I'm testing the G80SD and it's not even close to how the glossy coating was on the Philips before
like full red/green/blue test patterns were like vibrating/giving chromatic aberration like things looking around and from the sides, like some how the coating made it worse
not sure about other QDOLEDs they all use different coatings
but something very weird with that
I have looked at the pg32ucdm briefly in store and even that did not seem to be like that, however too short time to test anything out
very strange

I can't decide which monitor to get... they are all so overpriced in Sweden.

I know nothing about router technology. I'm moving into a house soon where the internet hookup is in the basement. I also don't know anything about rewiring a house. What would anons recommend to get good wifi throughout the entire house, not just the basement. Is there a way, without re-running cables through the walls/floors, to set up another device on the main floor that I can get ethernet out of for a wired connection?

Assuming you can get at least an ethernet cable from the router in the basement to your main floor,
you get a multi-port network switch for your main floor
Then you get wireless access points and hook them up via ethernet to that network switch. I'm assuming here you can run ethernet cables along the floor and walls even if you can't do it within them.
If you insist on running the wireless access point on the basement router and said wireless access points, configure them to have the same network SSID and password. Otherwise, I'd turn off the wireless function on the basement router (assuming it won't have good signal strength to the rest of the house) and have everyone in the house use the access point on the main floor

>Not a single black screening flicker so far as far as drop outs (are people retarded? Maybe!)
>I should have bought 2 fomo continues

>>106437490
according to oled folklore the higher brightness the display has the more resistant it will be to burn in because the panel operates at a lower total %
so running HDR on at full blast will wear the pixels harder than sdr, and if you are running 100-200 nits sdr when the panel is capable of 2000 nits + it will last longer

P12s are still quiet at 100% so I wanted to try something with higher rpm.

Right now I have 4 P12s in total blowing up and back and no intake at the bottom. I think changing the front top to an intake might help CPU temp too.

I should probably just live with my current setup instead of pissing more money to be honest.

what's the conclusion of the video tho? what's the name of the last chapter?

Have they made GPUs yet that don't use anywhere from 10-40W power when idling in multi-monitor?

I was considering going back to using a videocard instead of onboard but my entire PC uses less than that power and I don't actually game that much to justify it.

It's not much to ask people to own at least a 5600/X or a 12400F if they're planning to buy a 5060Ti 16GB (8GB is obvious scam).

>>106438157
No, I'm saying the P12s are not noisy so I could do with some faster fans.

>>106438287
it would be around 30kWh per month (running 24/7), maybe a bit less since I turn off monitors at night, but the problem is that we have tiered energy prices. >>106438317 is not accurate because if you reach a higher tier then you have to pay 5-10x as much. My monthly usage is actually very close to where they switch tiers, so a 10% increase would result in a 50% higher power bill. This surplus would actually add up to the cost of say a rtx4060 over 2-3 years.
Considering I don't even game that much, this is not acceptable.

>>106438384
what gpu do you have dude? my 9070 draws like 3-5W idle. like idle 0 activity not moving mouse. or like 10-20w when browsing and youtube

EK is the only brand people who aren't into water-cooling know about, you have the break the idea that EK isn't the only brand out there and there is other brands that are cheaper.

I'm also fully aware there are brands that are just as expensive, Watercool can be up there, bitspower can be up there, Optimus is just another EK. Still doesn't mean you have to buy them.

what are specs for a good water pump? power use, pressure, water line diameter, noise?

>>106438401
that's just what the card reports for the gpu itself, it does not add in memory chips and vrms and so. they are only like a third of a watt per component but there's a lot of them so they add up.

likewise, what your CPU reports as power usage isn't everything, cause the motherboard still has a chipset controller, sound chip, network chip, RAM, whatever. hwinfo may report 20W power usage but the chipset is 6W on its own plus 2-3W per ram stick, plus one or two watts for everything else, so in reality you are idling at 40W or so.

not sure what you're on about, rdna4 measures power at connector, what is reported is everything on gpu, it just has proper low power mode
for cpu+mobo ye shit's fucked they draw a lot of power idle I got like 90W total for whole PC not doing anything. that's shit, gpu is pretty fucking nice tho

>for cpu+mobo ye shit's fucked they draw a lot of power idle I got like 90W total for whole PC not doing anything. that's shit, gpu is pretty fucking nice tho

well yah if your PC uses 90W then 0-30W gpu is fuckall.

but i use an sff pc and my entire pc uses 10-20W, so a discrete gpu would more than double my idle power.

>>106438545
>rdna4 measures power at connector,
cards get power from both the power connector and the pcie slot so measuring just the power connector won't be accurate.

anyone have any mouse recs? My current one is like 10 years old now and if it double clicks one more time I'm going to throw it at the wall

>>106438588
but obese gamer man said EK man bad!

>>106438566
cpu itself is 40W idle for whole package, 20W more from ram + whatever and these are vrm reported values without losses in them, and without losses in the power supply itself. by the time the three ssds are added, fans and whatever tf is there it goes to 80-90W at power socket ye.
gpu still idles 5-7W without activity, that's the only part I am not complaining about

>>106438598
>but obese gamer man said EK man bad!
To be fair they did get bought out, but yeah the company just didn't disappear just because GN made a documentary

>>106438580
>measuring just the power connector won't be accurate.
but it is adequate. unless you can provide some figures for what is used on PCIe that's pretty much irrelevant

I don't really care about electricity prices since I have my ac blasting for a good chunk of the year, but those ryzen aislop+395 chips are only like 11w idle and 150w at load. Though you are looking at a $2000 board, kinda neat though.

Need some extra storage for my PC to dump music and anime and shit into, would a QLC SSD be fine for long term storage that I don't plan on doing lots of heavy writing to or should I splurge the extra $80 (about 50 freedomland bucks) for the Samsung TLC drive and a 5 year instead of a 3 year warranty?

I don't have an answer for your question but don't spend 400 dollars on these. They're available for cheaper right now.

>>106438742
If this basically going to be read-only mass storage you are better off with a spinning HDD.

>>106438618
not when you are measuring down to a few watts, you'll get complete nonsense for those if you rely on internal sensors.

you need to measure power usage from wall to get a good idea.

>>106438742
QLC is garbage and not cheap enough compared to how garbage it is. Only really useful if you plan on using it as a write once, read many storage like a HDD but without the noise and smaller form factor and better random access.

thing is once you have such a large and fast storage, you'll start using it for shit that takes a long time to do, and then suddenly the drawbacks of QLC will be painful. I thought it to be completely asinine but ended up storing 900gb archives and shit like that, then decompress them to another ssd and do text lookups inside them, once I had so many drives that it put zero dent on storage (I have around 16tb ssd space). or you'll end up using it to edit raw video because it'll be faster than waiting to compress it all the time. etc etc.
go for the better storage, you can't ever go wrong with faster storage.

>>106438840
>not when you are measuring down to a few watts, you'll get complete nonsense for those if you rely on internal sensors.
this is FUD, for all we know there could be 2mA max current draw on PCIe. or nothing really.

>>106438863
i was more thinking of properly measuring motherboard components and factoring in AC/DC conversion losses, you can't do that with onboard sensors at the moment, and gpu will only make approximate readings too.

you need to measure from wall if you want to know exactly how much power your machine uses.

>>106438900
rdna4 has dedicated power monitoring chips, they switched to it so they have very accurate power reporting, the errors are very low, at full load. how do you not know this and have ideas about the power draw? at least shut the fuck up you pseud, or do you damned homework before talking stupid shit

because i do not use discrete gpus? the first fucking question I posted about was whether gpus have good power draw yet or not, which implies that I'm not up to date on them.
