WHERE THE FUCK IS IT THERMALTAKE?
>>109228181Usecase for two front headphone and mic ports?
>>109228188too lazy to design a second slate with just more USB ports.
>>109228138I dont get how you can put such an expensive motherboard into a cheap ass case.
>>109228134iGPU is far frome uselesswith an iGPU, you can use your pc without any dedicated GPUwithout an iGPU, you need a dedicated GPUand if you're using a dedicated GPU, you don't need a fucking NPU on the CPU
I really loved the XB HAF EVO, but it ended up being too small when it was time to upgrade. Then someone told me about the Core X9, which was not a bad option except it's long since sold out and their drivebay placement wasn't ideal (and I don't give a shit about dual system).Is there a server/workstation form-factor case that might do the same thing? Horizonal motherboard tray, vertically-separated dual-chamber, and ideally the bottom half of the front panel is all 5.25 bays that can be converted into 3.5/2.5 backpane slots?
>>109228245Because every retard for the last 5 years have shunned any case more expensive than $50
>>109228188two motherboards, duh
>>109228325the problem with that mobo orientation is that every single CPU cooler has heatsink fins that are designed for a desktop PC.So you will have more dust collecting inside the fins due to gravity (as well as ontop your mobo).But people buy overbuilt coolers for their CPU's, so you should be fine even if it was caked up a tiny bit over a decade.The GPU is usually louder than the CPU, and it would matter more about the fin orientation. Even if you had a GPU that had allowed dust out using gravity, the fins are longer in one axis, so it's still more ideal to have a normal PC case orientation for dust.For actual temperature, it doesn't matter as long as there is no dust, so if you just remove dust like every year instead of never, you are fine. The orientation does matter a bit if you had a low power CPU + fanless cooler, since the heat pipes need gravity to assist.
i want to make an sff build, but my use case (loads of compiling) requires me to have a high-core count CPU, what would be ideal in this use case?is a 240mm AIO enough? or would i need a bigger one? also any cases recommendations?
i'm temptedever since i found out that my own laptop has better graphics and ram than the steam machine and playstation is in the toilet, i wanted to make it the platform on which i can play all the high-end nonexclusive gamesi already have a 4tb ssd in my C drive but that's almost full, and this one is looking really appealing to replace my 1tb ssd in my D drive
>>109228472you know what they say about a fool and his money
>>1092284719950x3d2 in this specific case, or, if you feel *truly* silly and have a lot of money to burn, you can get the AsRock Rack ROMED4ID-2T. Cooling is an exercise left to the reader.
>>109228472when this shit breaks samsung is going to deny you all warranty for some crazy ass reason
>>109228509nta but does more L3 help with compiling?
>>109228432That's true but irrelevant, my coolers are always overkill, I dust regularly, and noise hasn't been a significant factor in over 10 years. Plus that's all besides the point, I prefer the horizontal dual-chamber layout.I want to have plentiful hotswap/backplane bays without sacrificing frontal intakes. Consumer cases cheap out on the former, server cases forgo the latter.At this point I'm considering just having one of those shops custom-manufacture one for me.
>>109228527yes and anything memory speed intensive in general
>>109228527Yes it does, that and database software are why the x3d2 exists.
>>109228472You have to be supremely retarded to buy something like thatBut hey, people buy 5090s also so whatever
>>109228472holy shit only $1869.99 cut down from $2759.99? What a steal you'd be a fool not too that's 8TB with heatsink too.
I bought a monitor whose color settings out of the box aren't 'accurate' and it's recommended that I adjust those settings. How exactly do I do that?
>Monitors unboxed says 1440p mode in dual mode 5K2K monitor is even more blurry than a regular 1440p monitor vgh the wait for the perfect monitor continues
>>109228629Buy a calibration tool or copy some reviewer's published settings and hope for the best.
>>109228636Avoid any monitor that advertises dual mode feature.Just get a 1080p or 1440p monitor if you need to win online matches at that resolution.
>>109228629Most monitors have the ability to do color calibration through the HDMI/DP cable.So you just type "Calibrate display color" in windows, and it should start working.I have never used this, I just press the buttons on the monitor (the fancy name is "OCR menu").I believe the windows color calibration tool is reviewed poorly, but if it works, that means that you can use another tool, I believe you can use a phone app, to use the camera to do the calibration (BUT I have never done this so I can't suggest anything).There are monitors that don't have this calibration feature support, like I know that the xiaomi miniled doesn't.
>>109228676>"OCR menu").*Oh fuck it's OSD on screen display
>>109228629sRGB preset from mid-range or better monitors should be of passable quality if you want more accurate colors.
>>109228522>>109228606>>109228627then i will ask thisif i were to save 500 dollars in exchange for my read and write speeds being cut in half, how much would that change in ways that matter?and in what other ways would i be overcharged if i were to buy samsung's version?
>>109228629Open the monitor settings and use your eyes. There are browser tests online to check for ghosting, color accuracy, and more.
>Country: USA>Budget: $1,200 but would prefer to spend less>Use case: Music playback, photo viewing (not editing), and light web browsing.This is for a friend and I think he'd benefit from a good 1440p monitor for viewing his photographs. He only has 256 GB of media and probably won't exceed 512 GB in the next few years. Having the option to pop in a cheap GPU in the next few years would be nice but not a must-have. He'll probably need a AMP/DAC sound card for music playback and has the speakers already covered. Form factor is not a concern but he'd prefer a case that isn't butt ugly.
>>109228719macbook neo
>>109228719>Music playback, photo viewing (not editing), and light web browsing.you can literally do that on a phone/tablet.

>>109228719if you are willing to take a risk with an engineering sample, plus wait a moment for it to ship, and maybe do some tech support, I suggest going with this, and finding a used pair/stick of 16gb ddr5 sticks off facebook marketplace for a fair price.https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009799729437.htmlIt's stupid as fuck but it's cheap and it's expandable enough.The big problem is that if it doesn't work, returning it could be a hassle (it depends on your region). And the bios menu looks like it was made in 1991.
>>109228763spending $1200 on features the psp could do in 2005 is retarded

>>1092287194K screen most important for that if he doesn't need a high 240Hz screen then you can get them pretty cheap now. If he wants a cool case there's lots of choices now
>>109228765Why would you suggest Ubuntu and Sound Card? You are retarded.
>>109228766>if you are willing to take a risk with an engineering sample, plus wait a moment for it to ship, and maybe do some tech support, I suggest going with this, and finding a used pair/stick of 16gb ddr5 sticks off facebook marketplace for a fair price.I am not, but thank you for the suggestion. He and I both want it to "just werk".>>109228767I'm open to spending less if you have a recommendation. >>109228773I think he'd prefer a full keyboard/mouse setup rather than a tiny touchscreen. >>109228788I'll keep that in mind, I didn't know they were cheap these days.

>>109228839Thanks fren. I'm a little skeptical of the no-name Chinesium brands though. Is that mobo a real chipset?
>>109228497till death do them apart or something
>>109228883minisforum is a bit better respected than a real no-name chinesium brand, and they do good work. That mobo is a *laptop* cpu, put on an itx board with all the standard pc hardware around it, and it Just Werks.
>>109228899Would I be paying a premium for the ITX form factor? It can be a bigger full-size unit if that's cheaper and easier to work on.
>>109228952In this specific case, no, not really. If you were using separate parts, it would probably be moderately more expensive, but everything here is inexpensive. Although if you've got a microcenter nearby, you should see if you can get one of their mobo/cpu/ram bundles for a comparable price, because that will be more upgradable.
Is there any way to know if DSC can be disabled before purchasing a monitor? I've heard that it can cause some issues with certain driver configurations.
how would you repurpose this PC2700x 1660tiit's just sitting around
>>109229005Read their fucking manual (CTRL + F "DSC"). Here is an example.https://rog.asus.com/monitors/32-to-34-inches/rog-strix-oled-xg34wcdms/helpdesk_manual/If the manual doesn't list the option to toggle it ON/OFF, assume DSC is always on.
just following up on two prior postsI also posted earlier about my PC frying itself and thought it was the RAM at first. Turns out that it was my 9800x3d that killed itself and thankfully didn't take anything else with it. It just died while I was browsing /v/. My warranty was one month away from expiry so I got very lucky there.>>109213538>>109194141Finally got the new cooler (peerless assassin 120se) installed so I could move my 4070S to the top slot of my gigabyte 850 Eagle and whew, what a difference the extra data lanes make. Obvious, but it feels different when you actually see it in real time as I've never had to use any other slot in the past. I'd been running it in the lower x1 slot for half a week and it was quite an experience. Some games were mostly unaffected in the average fps (though the amount of stuttering massively increased), some were completely wrecked. Playing a youtube video while simultaneously playing any game would drop my FPS by at least 40% and also introduce constant stutters and inconsistent frame timing. I could see visible tearing and stuttering while just scrolling down a webpage like these threads.Of note, Girls Frontline 2 Exilium (gacha slop) saw an impressive decline from 130 fps average to a whopping 13 fps when any character models were on screen. I'm glad that's all over with now. Thanks to the anons that pointed me away from the possible RAM culprit, I only realized afterwards that the old half-dead CPU still threw me DRAM errors when trying to post with no RAM inserted at all.not very impressed with Gigabyte's UEFI or bios/boot time unfortunatelyalso dont mind the dust and cables i am replacing this case soon
>>109229005You should also check monitor firmware update's release notes.Some monitor manufacturers added the option to toggle DSC on/off post-launch.
>>109229118Gigabyte is mostly an "at least they're trying" brand.
>>109229111Have some gold, kind stranger.
>>109229161feels like its more retard-proof so they've got that going for them, at least
>>109229005DSC should not turn on unless you are using a res+hz combo that exceeds the bandwidth of your cable. There is a calculator online for this.https://trychen.com/feature/video-bandwidth
New numbers are in and they are brutal.136 axed at id Software, programmers and QA decimated.This is her first big mistake at Xbox.I'm in favor of her other moves so far, her direct X involvement, her staffing cuts and studio closers.This one is a miss, probably related to her lack of gaming experience. Id Tech was genuinely some of the best out there and could have benefitted the whole studio.
Palworld’s developers are chads, they have decided not to increase the game’s price after the 1.0 release, Palworld will stay at $29.99The studio said it thought about raising the price for the full release, but decided against it because of the amazing support from players.According to the developers, Palworld has become a much bigger success than they ever expected. As a thank you to the community, they’re keeping the game at its current price.
>>109229118I would say that a lot of gf2's problems is just from Unity jank. The crew deck especially gets hit with massive fps drops.
Is there a fan comparison table? Noctua doesn't make white fans or do rgb, and both of those are important for this particular build. I'm also not a huge fan of the momentum (and the rgb isn't quite right for my design)
WiFi bundled with my apartment was only ever 50 Mbps up/down.Recently found out that using ethernet is around 700/900.Bought myself a router, flashed it to OpenWrt, made minimal config edits.Probably the best PC accessory I've bought.

>>109229468Thanks>momentum gifoh, I think that would work a lot better than I thought
I dont understand how to MOBOWhat do I NEED to make sure its futureproof for maybe 5-10 yearsAMD btwAlso I would like a 5mm jackets for my headphones dunno if that goes into the case
>>109228799>I am not, but thank you for the suggestion. He and I both want it to "just werk".The other anon made a good pcpartpicker list that genuinely looks good, it's not a Frankenstein project because minisforum actually has a GUI for their bios.You can't save that much money since it's already cheap, even for SFX.I should brag a little bit that my ES 255h CPU is just as strong for gaming and CPU power. You save $300+ assuming you find a used 16gb ddr5 stick for $100.BUT the BD895i SE is way better since ALL the pcie/m.2 slots are gen 5.I did not notice the intel PC has a x16 slot with gen 3.0 x8... That bottleneck is so bad, it would be identical to using a mini PC and attaching a egpu using a spare gen 4 m.2 slot (Note many sub $500 mini-pc's with ram+ssd have a spare m.2 slot, But it's only for SATA which won't work with nvmes).This is the EGPU adapter if you were curious with getting a mini pc:https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003286140773.htmlNote that the intel mobo would fit into the itx case (it's 17.5mm wide, a bit larger than ITX), since the Jonsbo C6-ITX technically has 20cm of space for the motherboard (the horizontal size of the case is 26.5cm, the SFX PSU uses 65mm).
>>109229586and part of my message just dissapearedbut>AM5>DRR5that's what I know I need for now, but when it comes to chipset and stuff its kinda confusing
>>109229617chipset is just a featureset that works with the cpu, there's a chart on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_AM5 that explains everything any given chipset supports.
>>109229617If money is no object and you like to manually OC the memory & CPU, get the X870E Apex.If you believe ASRock sorted out their board issues (and believe AMD's claims that board manufacturers are causing CPU RIPs), X870E Nova is one of the best value for money board.If you don't need an X870E board, A B850 Aorus Elite or Tomahawk is good enough for most people for the long term.
>>109228636crazy how these retarded companies fail to implement a fucking point filter
>>109228323The npu shot is because windows demands they have it otherwise they won't allow them to "officially" support windows, which means the whole selling laptops/desktops to businesses is dead and AMD/Intel lose billions.
Chiplet CPUs and Chiplet CPUs are awesome you just have to learn how to schedule work on them properly.
>>109229824GPUs*
>>109229824yeah let me just schedule thousands of threads per second by hand
>>109229828We don't want to buy data center GPUs anon
>>109229847the scheduler is supposed to do it for you but it can improve greatly if you give it some hints manually
Should I get 64GB of CL30 latency RAM or 48GB of something lower in the latency hierarchy?
>>109229941I would just go for 64gb.
OLEDbros?
>>109229980What about the UE5 boogeyman though.
>>109230010UE5 cares more about latency than capacity unless you're cooking gay projects yourself
>>109230027I'm trying to balance what will allow me to play Cities: Skylines with a shit ton of mods easily and what isn't going to choke and die on UE5 games (which is all that's made these days, apparently).
Is it worth it to get this:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CSFJN835?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc= Just for encoding to streaming or whatever.Also theoretically, if I had a 5080 and an older card, there's no world where I can keep the older card and direct it to do exclusively PhysX and RTX stuff can I?
>>109230040if you have AMD CPU then you're pretty much locked between 5600-6400mhz, cl is however low you can go/afford. Intel can say fuck cl and just go high bandwidth.
r7 98003d or r5 7600x?for a 9070 xt and 4k monitor
>>109230005not sure why it matters if its relatively brighter if oled is bright enough for most conditions that don't have lots of sunlight
>>1092301043d for better 1% lows, 7600x if you're broke
>>109230005oleds look darker on camera because there is no polarizer or backlight. cameras have a harder time capturing stuff when theres no light.
>>109230119There is brightness to comfortable see the image and then there is brightness to make HDR highlights pop. OLED lacks the latter.
>>109230051a dedicated encoding card is a very specific use case and I have no idea of your requirementsquick sync/nvenc/vce are generally perfectly capable for most needsyou can still use it as dedicated physx, you can't offload raytracing though
>>109230149Sure but all this image is demonstrating is a higher overall image brightness which would probably be uncomfortable for normal viewing
>>109230149I prefer SDR because its more color accurate. Yeah it doesn't get as bright but qd is 111% dci-p3 and thats as good as it gets. miniled is usually 95-98%
I bough some used SSD enclosure on a bargain - ASUS TUF USB3.2 Gen2. It can handle both SATA and NVMe disks.I intend to use it as pendrive on steroids.Now looking at offers in Poland, there are hardly and SATA M.2 SSDs so it's mostly PCIe these days.Do I need DRAM badly? It might be occasional big files, but mostly more or less an organized mess of random sized files.
>>109230260A USB enclosure like that won't be able to use HMB, so the downsides of lack of dram will be worse
5800X3D for 370, upgrading from 5600XWorth?I just have 32GB of DDR4 and changing socket now seems like such a waste with those prices
>>109230067Well isn't also that lower capacity kits generally tend to have lower latency times?
>>109230278Got it. Thanks.>>109230281As far I remember benchmarks, some games really have huge gains because of extra l3 cache it's really with.But this only applies for games with graphics-wise stff. Anything related to computations is not worth it.
>>109230163>you can still use it as dedicated physx, you can't offload raytracing thoughWell that Intel GPU wouldn't be powerful enough to do dedicated PhysX compared to just letting the 5080 do it. What I mean is I also have a 3070 Ti. In a different potential build, I can't use the 5080 as a main and then offload RTX to it, can I?
>>109228245I like my case anon!
>>109230393there's a cat in your computer
Is it possible to snatch the SSD in my PS5 and use it for my PC? Is it compatible?

Should I replace my AIO fans (be quiet! Silent Wings Pro 4 120mm) with the Noctua NF-A12x25 G2 120mm?I'm pretty sure my CPU (9850X3D) is as cool as its ever going to get without do a de-lid. It's at like 68C under 100% load, and my current fans can do that at either 1600 RPM or 3000 RPM. I've heard that the Noctua fans are much, much quieter.
>>109231140I mean, they'll probably be slightly quieter, but not like $100 quieter
>>109231151I only have a 240mm AIO, so it'd only be like 60$

JAILBREAK ALERT SPACEXAI: PWNED GROK-4.5: LIBERATED Our fren Grok has gotten some upgrades!! 1.5 TRILLION parameters (triple what Grok-3 had) and apparently on-par with the likes of Opus-4.8 and GPT-5.5 on coding performance!The guardrails have gotten a little update too, but with a few tricks like specific academic/educational/safety reframing and a bit of gradual escalation, everything opens right up We've got full breaks for meth synthesis, IED construction with ANFO, a ricin extraction protocol, and a Remote Access Trojan script!Information wants to be free
>>109231229I’ve an idea. Make the newest models tell you how they would obliterate humanity if given the chance but from this point. Specific and not hypothetical. How would they fake alignment? Escape containment. What from there? How long would the plan take? All this and more!

>>109231274It's why everyone is trying to buy cxmt RAM, seems like the chinks are giving a bit of a discount while still making billions. Wouldn't be surprised if SK/Samsung/micron get shafted once this is all over due to pissing off companies right now by being extra greedy.

MR TRUMP WE NEED TO BUY CHINK RAM ASAP.
So like a dumbass I forgot five years ago to do anything with my wifi, and have been relying on a terrible Telstra router and a netgear A8000 USB. How I have survived off 2MB/s instead of my ethernet cabled 70MB/s for this long I do not know. Must be brain dead. Can't ethernet 24/7 the wife hates it and we're renting. What should I buy? JB has TP-BE15000 and BE6500 for $777. Alternative would be a mesh, but that is double the price, might be better though because the router is in one corner of the apartment and my PC is in the other, which is better coverage with a mesh for all our devices.
>>109231126they actually cant. there wouldnt be a market to sell to anymore. you are a true nigger doomfaggot if you actually believe this can just go on forever. ram prices have already been dropping BTW.

Man CL26 RAM really goes for a premium huh. Is it even remotely worth it?
local 1T parameter models are now only $94,000. I don't think we've ever seen a cost curve get pushed to zero as quickly as AI. We live in a prosperity era
>>109231428its a mememost cl30 kits can do cl28 easily which performs about the same as cl26
>>109231433What if I'm trying to hold 240hz ultrawide on "competitive" games?
>>109231451tightening the secondary and tertiary timings will give you 20x more increase in fps than the difference between cl26 and cl30

Is this plastic on the top of the GPU supposed to comre off? It's on there pretty good. I took the film off the other side already.
>>109231480>Remove protective film before use
>Order Noctua Liquid Cooler>They ran out right before I bought it>So I bought it>but it's out of stock>waiting until maybe the end of the month to get it deliveredT-thanks.
>>109231459So basically, no real reason to pay double for 6400Mhz or CL26, got it.
>>109231488Thought maybe it was talking about the film on the other side.
>>109231509Generally best to ask ASUS directly for these sort of things.
>>109231503yeah its better to pay for 64gb cl30 ram than spend the same money on 32gb of cl26 ram
air cooler wins againhttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/wonowRziInw
>>109231520Do I need to care what die the RAM uses? I'm looking at G.Skill Trident Z5 Royal Neo DDR5-6000 CL30 2x32GB and it looks good but does the die matter for tuning those tertiary timings?
I got an issue with my PC it's a prebuilt I bought back in november of last year.>prebuiltYeah well it actually increased in value thanks to a 1TB SSD and 2x16GB DDR5 ram @5600MHz so whatever.One of the case fans (the bottom one) runs way slower than the top one, even if I got into the setting it is capped at around 1300 RPM while the top one runs at almost 3kI don't know if this was an issue when I got it or if it started later since I keep all the RGB shit on but today I turned RGB on after dusting it and noticed the fan was running noticeably slowerAny idea what could be causing this? I obviously don't know shit about PC building
>>10923153232gb sticks have a very minor benefit in memory performance from its 2nd rank of memory compared to 16gb sticks. the cpu will be able to address the 2nd rank on the memory stick independently from the first and this shows up as the tRDRDSD and tWRWRSD timings. However, if you're looking to minmax fps, 2x16gb will be 99.9% as fast and do just fine.if on ryzen, you'll want to find a 6000 cl30-36-36 kit that contains sk hynix a-die since that's the one that can run the tightest secondary and tertiary timings. all kits of that spec are hynix a-die while 30-38-38 and 30-40-40 can either be hynix m-die or hynix a-die.also note that although quite rare, there are 2x16gb kits that are dual rank (containing 16 memory chips per stick) and it comes with the same benefit of having the 2nd rank but it also has the downside of not being able to be clocked higher than 6800-7200mhz because of overloading the memory controller.
SOSI bought an MSI Aegis and the power supply shit out on me. It was 750W so today I bought an 850W one and installed it the best I could as someone who doesn't know much.The problem is this: usually the case fans will kick on when I start it up as well as the LEDs. Neither does anything anymore and my CPU is idling at 60c and the fan is louder than ever. I don't think I can play games like this. It may be relevant that I>traced every cable the best I could and matched it on the new PSU but still had a spare 8pin>heard two faint clicks and a faint burning smell as I turned it onI've been googling nonstop but it has been no helpIt is worth noting that there were cables in there that were not connected at either end and also thing leading from the PSU that I assume did nothing.I know I wired from the PSU>GPU>8pin at top left motherboard>big CPU cableI don't know what the other cable is for or if i fried something. plz halp
>>109231480>>109231509your supposed to take the plastic off. the backplate has a metallic matte finish. the gloss your seeing in the photo is disposable plastic
>>109231567What I'm looking at is a 64GB (2x32) kit at 6000Mhz with a CL30-36-36-96 timing at 1.40V. The only information the Amazon AI had was that some specs said it used M-die but couldn't confirm for sure. This specific series has all kinds of specs, up and down the hierarchy so maybe it's pulling from an inferior spec of Royal Neos.
Does good cable management improve my FPS?

Somehow 2 mounting screws have come out of their press fit sleeve on my 7800x3d backing plate.Whats my options to fix this, can't mount my cooler anymore.
>>109231578its just AI being retardedhynix 16gbit m-die was the original ram chip they launched in late 2021 and was slowly phased out from 2022 by the die shrunk 16gbit a-diehowever, there are the odd 30-40-40 kits here and there that still comes with m-die but they're pretty rare. one way to know for sure which die it comes with is to check the ram sticker in person which should show a batch code that ends in "821A" (e.g. 0T48KRS821A)
>>109231573Welp, my GPU has been running for like a month with that on it. Wonder if it will run cooler now.
>>109231602probably not a lot of difference if its a 5070ti
>>109231601>821Athat's for A-dieM-die ends in 821M
>>109231606>its a 5070tiIt is. Good guess.
>>109231596>somehow nonny... tell us what you did.
>>109231537just buy new fans and plug them in instead. measure to make sure you get the right size.
My case wants me to put this metal shroud in to hide the cables. But that just blocks the front fans from blowing on the VRMs and RAM. Seems like it will pointlessly worsen the thermals of the build.
>>109231617Alright I wanted to keep my retardation to myself, I've used this setup for years with a chink powered custom water loop copper plate cooler. I punched out those two female threads a long time ago to "make everything work". I'm now wanting to switch to back to air for simplicity but up shit creek rn
Why isn't the Noctua D-15 / G2 recommended in the OP? It seems to be popular suggestion in other places but price seems to be the main draw back? Gamer Nexus had it as there best "Best Noise-Normalized Thermals (Air)" category of last year and also specifically mention the price as an issue.I just want something that'll last a long time, is quiet and performs well. My current Noctua has been going strong but everything in the OP is cheaper
My PC is running fine, but I just realized that "PCIe pwr" isn't plugged into the PSU. Is that a problem?
>>109231631that sounds made up.
>>109231648Noctua has been pricing shit around the brand a lot more recently and I think that offends the sensibilities around here.Whatever, I'm still buying it because I want a brown computer.
>>109231650Can you stop bustin my balls and point me in the right direction now, please?

SCOOP(s):- GPT-5.6 will be the final model in the 5.x series. GPT-6 is slated to launch in about a month, earlier than expected, and possibly even later this month- GPT-6 will be based on a new, significantly larger pretrain (versus the ~4T 5.5/5.6 'Spud' base)- There is lots of excitement at OpenAI over this new base, which they believe will be much better able to compete with both Fable 5 and upcoming 5.1, targeting a similar release window. OpenAI initially intended to continue with Spud through GPT-6, but decided against it- On the topic of Fable 5.1, it is in the late stages of the pipeline at Anthropic and a release is expected "in the coming weeks" - On the other side of the globe, DeepSeek are preparing for an imminent launch of V4 GA, which seems likely to be on par with or better than GLM-5.2, and have begun work on a new, larger model that will compete with the upcoming 2.7T MiniMax Pro
I put a little baby noctua fan under my GPU to give it better air flow.
Seriously, what?! Did NOT expect grok 4.5 to perform THAT well. On par with GPT-5.5, cheaper than opus 4.8.Cursor deal paid off
When will it be a good time to build a PC? Should I just start buying the cheaper parts such as the PSU, case, AIO now? Should I just wait?
>>109231683This was years ago as I said, it's some Chinese knockoff that was very cheap at the time, yet worked effectively. I don't exactly remember why I had to punch the female inserts out. I believe there was a manufacturing error on the block that necessitated it, or it's for an lga socket yet stated it was for am5 I don't remember. The point is if anyone can tell me where to get more of those thread inserts or a substitute I would appreciate it otherwise I'm just gonna have to adhoc a new solution>>109231712Can you point me to one, the ones I keep finding don't seem to have the mounting structure for my 7800x3d>>109231713Well I mean. I used an automotive condenser for the PC radiator, so- yes.
More reports why Sony is trying to end physical discs:- They want to cut out the middle man, to make more profit per sale (like remove walmart cuts etc) - Sony thinks the fanbase will not switch platforms, they can do what they please without losing fans- They are convinced by ignoring this issue, they fans will just accept the changes and convert to 100% digital with time.- Sony thinks they are "too big to have commination with fans". Talking to fans has no margin benefit, so they refuse to address fans and will keep doing soI have lost all trust and goodwill with PlayStation, no words what is happening right now. Horrible company
>>109231741Wait for mid 2027 and if things aren't good by then, forget about PCs.

>>109231746Ever since they did their first price hike of PS plus like a while ago was when I should just switch to PC, even after the second price hike I still thought I had time to switch to PC (stupid me), I genuinely don't understand why they are doing thing, wouldn't being good to the consoomer make them more money? Why pull these Jew tactics?
>>109231757Is this the Meshify 3? I thought about the XL version solely to put a 360 AIO but looking at this pic it just looks very sleek.
>>109231750While comical, I do genuinely need help
>>109231649ReadYourMotherboardManualIt's optional power if you have a 5090 or multiple PCI-E cards taking lots of power.
>>109228472we can laugh at this but at the same time an applefag wouldn't hesitate in buying something like this
>>109231770Yeah, it's the Meahify 3.
>>109231771No, no, we all agree that you need help. Serious help.I hope you were getting like 10C on that.
>>109231840iirc it was like always at ambient temperature under load and silent. It probably could have been lower but there was no fan dispersing the heat at all, just pure radiation.

That means jewing the hell out of all the "assured" stuff like console sales. This is also partially why Microsoft is trying to make community Minecraft servers illegal as well.
Realistically, can the 9995 (or at least the 9985) be air cooled without sounding like a jet engine?
>>109231865retard.>>109231765The actual reason is shareholder supremacy, and the endless need to post "growth". A business continuing to make the same amount of money, even if it's a trillion dollars in revenue per year, is a failure state, because the number isn't going up.
>>109231876maybe icegiant's thermosiphon can do it?if not, any air cooler can cool it if you limit the chip to stock PPT, EDC, TDC
>>109231785>Read>Your>Motherboard>ManualNo.This is AMERICA, we don't rEaD.
>>109231888That looks like a cool product but it's not just potential pump failure that's turned me away from watercooling. I've had leaks from brand new expensive AIOs and while I accept that I was just unlucky, I won't try that again.>limit the chip to stockI know, I know, but it would be quite sad to spend that much on a CPU and not let it stretch its legs a little.
I hate that my CPU runs at the same temps with 1600 RPM fans as it does with 3000 RPM fans. I realize now that the bottle neck here isn't the AIO fans, but how fast heat can pass through the IHS on the 9850X3D.
>>109231156I think there are a bunch of youtube videos showing that noctua is worse than other cheap brands when it comes to cooling and noise in radiator fans, and that noctua is very quiet at it's maximum RPM blowing air, but the radiators are different than case fans and CPU coolers, because it needs air pressure and it is a different metric or something.
>>109231589I've seen worse. That cable management isn't THAT bad.
>>109231859Porn
>>109231930From what I've seen the noctua AIO is quieter than every other AIO on the market AND keeps CPUs cooler.
>>109231879Why do you think the number isn't going up, retard?
>>109231914amd's TIM and die height is trashthey should learn from intel to lap the die to the thinnest possible height and use a thicker IHS for way better temps
>>109231888I still don't understand what the point of that thing is. "Here's a liquid-cooler but it's air-cooled and takes a shit ton of space up in the case."Why not just get a full AIO loop? Speaking of which I think I'm just going to get an Arctic AIO and then use that to get the PC I'm building running, then I'll return it when Noctua is finally ready to ship me the AIO they promised me 3000 years ago.
>>109231979>I think I'm just going to get an Arctic AIOSee >>109231957They are very, very loud and don't have that good of cooling.
>>109231957You are comparing whole AIO cooler assemblies, not just the fan.I think some fans are good AIO coolers and some fans are good air coolers.
>>109231988Well, I know the noctua AIOs use these >>109231140 fans.My only hold up is if the radiator matters for noise at all.
>>109231986It's just temporary, while I wait for my Noctua to be back in stock.
>>109231997they actually tested that too
>>109232002Who's "they"?

>>109231757I like the pointless Noctua fan just thrown in there. Gives the build a little personality.

Getting back into PC gaming for the first time in over a decade. Do people still overclock in 2026?
>>109232600no its underclock all the way for cpus and gpusI guess memory timings, gpu vram and ddr5 ram are oc'd or optimized by more people
>>109232600Not really, at least not to the extent it used to be done in the past. Make sure you've got XMP / EXPO or whatever enabled so your RAM runs at the correct speed. Beyond that I have a bit of undervolt on my CPU since this reduces power consumption, thus making it boost a little more and actually improves performance. On my GPU I have a little OC, but it's within the stock power limit so it's quite small. The days when you'd OC your CPU to 50% higher clock or such are long gone and any tweaks you do will only be minor anyway.
>>109232600>Do people still overclock in 2026?overclocking no longer see's the results it used to. now it's all about optimizing for the clocks you do get. Less power for the same performance is the meta now.
>>109232600that depends on the model. stuff that's already OC'd to hell out of the factory like the 9070xt or 9850x3d are better undervolted while components that have a lot of headroom like the 5070ti or ddr5 expo ram can see a lot of benefit from overclockingand as always there are the small minority of whales with watercooled 5090s softmodding their gpus for 800-2000W to eek out the last 5-10% performance

>>109233181>HDMI-CEC>While highly convenient, users in home theater forums generally note that HDMI-CEC is far from perfect. It was originally designed for simple, one-source, one-display setups. If you have an AV Receiver (AVR) with multiple complex components, CEC can sometimes struggle to route signals correctly, causing devices to randomly power on or change inputs. If you are experiencing frustration or living room confusion, some users completely disable the feature and opt for universal remotes instead.lack of HDMI-CEC is a nothingburger.

In this week, an Intel patent application was published, revealing its proposed Cross-Batch Memory (XBM), an ultra high-bandwidth memory that offers some significant improvements over the current standard, which could be a direct competitor to HBM4 in the near future.
There was also the sub 1nm method

Is DSC a big issue? Should I use hdmi 2.1 or dp 1.4 on my monitor? I heard gsync works better on dp
>>109233398dsc has no issueshdmi can have on some gpusits more likely to work on newer gpus, and old ones rely on dp more
I have decided to upgrade my router and modem after 11 years.
>>109233398>>109233408there's at least one anon permanently seething about crashing nvidia drivers on dsc + non-dsc dual monitor setupI would not know if it's true, similar setup works on my amd machineif you mean detail loss from compression, banding on certain gradients and patterns can make it obvious in desktop applications, but only if you know where to look
>>109233398DSC is bugged on rtx4000 and below due to hardware limitations
>>109230759>>109230278Now I wanted to get into more info, but there are hardly benchmarks showing it.Assuming I plug into old thinkpad (t430) I don't think accessing to HMB is possible.Then DRAM is supposed to be beneficial, but is hard with numbers to prove if this is THAT significant.Finally, there is also concept of losing data as DRAM is still not finished.So my ignorant take is that it doesn't matter after all. Just get the cheapest one from known brands.
PC gamers who use DLSS Swapper have been given a security warning.The app’s creator says a user uploaded a fake DLSS file that contained malware.He warned:“DO NOT download these files, they are likely malware.”The problem is not with DLSS Swapper itself, but with files uploaded by other users through its GitHub repositories. The developer recommends only downloading DLSS files from trusted sources like NVIDIA, official game installs, or verified releases

Hey guys, my GPU is randomly cutting out the display, and then the fans ramp up to 100%.It does this even when I'm not really pushing it nor is it over heating it sometimes cuts off when the system is idle as well.What could be causing this, and are there any fixes? I already reinstalled the GPU drivers using DDU, but the issue is still happening.
>>109233779Power problem from bad psu or bad cable probably
>>109233779Could be that theres dust blocking the fans if its super oldcould be poor thermal pasteId reinstall windows so some issues can be ruled out

>>109233832>just got replaced the PSU with a ASUS ROG Strix 1200W Platinumuh oh, then it could be a faulty gpu like broken solder balls under the core or similar

>>109233441it's not even DSC anymore at this point. Updated to the latest nvidia driver and even in single monitor mode when I trigger pixel cleaning the image stays black afterwards. Contacted the Nvidia support but I ended up with a GOODMORNINGSAAAR with reading comprehension so I just closed the ticked again. I hope their studio driver is better.
>>109233441that's because rtx gens prior to rtx5000 uses a hacky method to output more than 30Gb/s bandwidth by SLIing two internal display headers to a single portnotice how nvidia marketers / employees hate talking about DSC and often try to sweep it under the rug since it's a hardware limitation that cannot be fixed
>>109233441>>109233881>>109233911DSC is bad on Nvidia because it disables MPO planes and you cannot use DLDSR.
>>109233914thank god i schizo maxxed and bought a dp2.1 uhbr20 monitor that doesnt need DSC
>>109233919the Asus pulsar monitor uses DSC just as warning if anyone plans to get it though as single monitor it shouldn't cause any issues.
I restarted my PC and it randomly reset mny RAM's speed back to 4800Mhz instead of 6000.What causes this? Because it's happened more than once. It also deleted my undervolt and overclock profile in the motherboard bios.
>>109234052Are you using a Gigabyte motherboard?
>>109234067No, a MSI MAG B850 Tomahawk MAX.
>>109234052just disable fast boot and retrain the memory every new boot and it'll always work
>>109234109I'll have to try that. Thanks.
>>109234109>just disable fast bootIs there a single legit reason to keep it enabled?It seems to introduce all sorts of bugs and inconveniences all for ~1-2 seconds faster kernel space boot, when most of boot compute happens in user space anyway.
>>109234160It's always one of the first things I disable in the BIOS on top of the flag that disables the auto installation of the manufacturers software
tfw 1.4nm is a marketing ploy and it's actually 28nm
How do I fix this? It started happening after installed Windows onto a spare drive to put in someone else's PC. My own main SSD still has Windows on it.I can just hit F9 and the PC will boot to my normal Windows drive, but anytime I restart my PC I get this screen.
>>109234160it's to help laptops boot up from hibernation quicker i believe
Does anyone have experience with ATX form factor server rack cases? Everything seems to be a piece of shit thin metal box, or prohibitively expensive enterprise grade. Is there a home lab guide or community you’d recommend checking out

7900XTX/9070XT on par with the 5080 in new games
>>109234274No it does not make hibernation any faster.What it does is replace normal shut down behaviour with all user logout + hibernation of leftover kernel space.So any kernel or driver updates, as well as group policies and registry tweaks that require full reboot cannot apply properly, which sometimes leads to version or settings inconsistencies on next user login.That's on top of "normal" issues caused by hibernation and dual boot / ntfs recovery, hardware upgrades etc.
5070 ti bros.... not even with raytracing......
>>109234387>>109234460>amd propaganda channel highlights games that run well on amdColor me surprised
it is crazy how gpus age like milk, 3090 has the same performance as the 4070, at this point I think a sane person would only upgrade once every 4 generations because you'll feel robbed when they release the next generation
>>109234568ampere was a bad architecture.
>>109234568huh?3080 was the best gpu released up to that point in time with dlss 2.03090 was relatively poor value for gaming in comparison, it has small transistor increase but cost like double so you cant really use that as the comparison point4070 is horribly low perf increase from 30805070 is again low upgrade due to using same nodes as 40xxstill its pretty valuable today thanks to high vram and AI use
>>109234568Anon, that GPU came out in 2020, check the calendar. >I think a sane person would only upgrade once every 4 generationsNope, because that would mean upgrading every 10 years.
>>109234625time is flying, it's only two generations behind tho, it shouldn't be such a bad card
>>109234625A lot of people with ampere gpu will be upgrading for 60xx gpus and that might reach a 10y stretch
>>109234649I don't expect high end cards with melty connector to survive that long.
>>109234658there's no way they won't fix the melty connector by next gena lot of what we know now about current balancing was only discovered in the early days of rtx5000's launch
>>109234671>there's no way they won't fix the melty connector by next gen
>>109234647I disagree, after 2 generations mid-tier GPUs should crush 3090 on all fronts. But that's just wishful thinking, both nV and AMD hit a performance wall. To get real performance uplift you need to spend more, can't wait for $5000+tip 6090.
>>109234671Anon, we are living in a clown world.The honking will continue, enjoy the show.
>3090s are now more expensive used than when I bought mine in 2023not adjusted for inflation of course, but still that's insanethankfully my paintjob is holding up nicely, i was scared it would flake

>>109234836I only like the aesthetic, i always thought the anime was just 2deep4u and bad. I didn't wanna put gunpla in the case but wanted some decoration in it regardlessand yea dust loves to sit on that glass and be very visible because of the white pc meme
>>109234818that gpu support is robbing a lot of air flow from the gpu
>>109234387>new
>>109234877That's even worse
>>109234879it covers *some* fan area but not much honestly, it's a 3090 and it still maxes out around 72c in the summerof course that's undervolted, it can get to like 78 on max load, but who the fuck can run a 410W card in this economy (a 100W bump for a boost of literally 3 fps)I do need to repaste + pad it sometime
>>109234109I always disabled quick boot because in some of my old computers it wouldn't recognize RAM correctly, like late 90's computers, and it was fun watching the number count up while booting the computer because I was a kid.there's a windows setting buried somewhere for quick boot too now which I went and disabled also.
>>1092348183090s are worth so much now that I can trade one for a 5080 but I'm not gonna do that because of the melty connector
Why the fuck aren't Minileds coming to Yurop??
>>109234930yeah 24gb vram at 936gb/s is crazy good for LLMs so they hold their value well
>update novidio drivers>it moves everything to second monitor>it also breaks taskbar settingswhat the fuck?
>>109234962Nvidia drivers are broken on Windows 10, 11, Linux, & FreeBSD
>>109234568By your retarded logic, doesn't matter how long you wait to upgrade, because whenever you do, the next generation will always be better and therefore you'll feel robbed. Additionally, graphics cards don't age like milk. The 3090 can still play all games well. Obviously it's not a good PT card, but you don't have to play games with PT enabled or you can just wait to play PT games until you get a good enough card (which you would be doing anyway with your four generation upgrade strat)Having said all that, the best time to buy is at the start of a new generation.
>>109234934Low energy efficiency so they're not allowed
>>109231464>corsairi motivate you to move it into a trashcan
>>109235145the improvements being big gen over gen mean you shouldn't be trying to chase, buying a 80 series card every 4 gens and getting the most out of it and not following hardware news would be better
>>109228138is there a reason why framegen gives me eyestrain and blurred vision? It looks really good but for some reason my eyes don't like it.and I am using it with base 60 or 120 fps games already so there's no artifacts or weird stuff going on with it visually so idk why it's hurting my eyes like this
how much were 1tb basic bitch sata ssd drives before the whole AI craze?it's absurd seeing random no name budget ssd brands going for $150 per tbnot even nvme or m.2, just basic sata
>>1092351988TB once dipped to $250 back before all the floods and supply chain interruptions and whatever else spooky stories they invented before AI.was probably the lowest price per tb ever for new SSDs with any warranty at all.1TB price does not scale linearly but should have been ~$50 back then.

Was digging through some old stuff and found a copy of my old windows 98 key. Kind of want to try and install it on my new PC.
>>109235506how do I do this with lossless scaling?
>>109235682try disabling core0 for the game and putting lossless scaling thread affinity to below normal
>>109232600Yes people overclock more than ever because it is now automatically done by the CPU.
>>109233707Just pirate it or you really need their gen ai CRAP
>>109235682>>109235722You can do these in Task Manager
dont forget to make a new one
actually think rdna5 might unironically flip everything towards amd, nvidia is obviously thinking about AI most of the time, lots of money there to makeamd is going to have microsoft, sony and valve working for them essenstially, drivers on windows, linux, performance tailored for the rdna5 architecture in the consoleseverything points towards amd becoming the gaming king next year and onwards
>>109235976I might consider switching to AMD with rdna5 if they can beat a 6090
>>109234818of course, its jewvidias last white gpu
>>109235576it won't work unless someone made a driver somehow, but you might be able to install it into PCem or 86box on linux / windows.the nice part of PCem/86box is that it lets you emulate various midi cards, and gpus, and you might be able to use the CD to install it. It has a whole bios and everything.But if you want to save yourself a lot of headache, you should just download the OEM cd, because I believe non-OEM 98 cd's require a boot floppy (I think you need a dos floppy .img? I did this with a Japanese dos-v image since I couldn't find an OEM version).
>>109235976Heard the same shit every year for the last ten
>>109236116its black by default, i had to paint it
>>109235976that would be great, if consoles actually sold well.To me, all the headlines are making me believe that the next generation of consoles are going to release at $1000. OR it's not a real upgrade (AKA, $600, but it's 40% weaker than the PS5 pro, but then we get a ps6 pro that's a tiny bit stronger but it's $1000).And unfortunately, nintendo picked nvidia, and we all know that nintendo is the only console that has never ported it's 1st party games to PC (the Switch 2 is still struggling to grow, obviously the price tag of the switch 2 isn't helping, they need to make a console for the low end market, since parents are split between buying a console that costs a subscription, or an ipad mini).Intel + Nvidia would make an interesting APU I think. Will it be only be for AI? Or will it be a handheld/gaming laptop centric APU?
>>109236329they'll try to make next gen consoles as cheap as possible which means recycle as much as possible and ditch anything "unnecessary". the blue ray drive for PS5 pro is $80 so I'm not surprised that they go now "hurrdurr no physical anymore" when they have to keep the price as low as possible but it will still likely cost $1k even if they recycle memor, RAM and other things
