CPU showed up in the mail. Got it all up and running. FPS in WoW increased by 40 and I'm at stock clocks on both RAM and CPU. Time to OC and see what happens to temps and performance.
Depends how small. If they're under 1TB might just be worth selling them or giving them to someone. But if you don't have a NAS, it might be a neat project.
And got my stable OC. CPU is at 4 Ghz, and ram is sitting at 3200 Mhz. I'm pretty impressed by the ram since it's only rated to go to 3000 Mhz
4Ghz on a 1600 with 3200mhz memory is pretty great
I'm completely blown away by it. $440 investment just gave me an amazing rig. The GPU is lacklaster as its only the 4GB 580, but it runs everything I've thrown at it INSANELY well.
Honestly unless you're going to be throwing 1440p/4k gaming with tons of poorly optimised Skyrim texture mods ( ) at it, 4GB should do you fine.
https://forum.facepunch.com/f/hwsw/btnuf/Ryzen-7-2700X-normal-temperatures/1/ is some quality cipwttkt content. Haven't had a chuckle like that in a while.
aw c'mon, it's an easy mistake to make and jury rigging a push-pull like that is kinda clever
I'm no stranger to jury rigging fans for better cooling; what makes the thread funny is the surprises.
Why in the fuck are xbox UI components installed on WS2016 by default? Honestly this OS has gotten way past the normal ridiculousness of Windows "server" operating systems.
Windows 10 LTSB is the only way to go anymore.
That's such a Microsoft thing to do, good lord
Unfortunately my dreams are dashed of getting a business to run entirely on TempleOS.
Is TempleOS' source code public? I desperately want to see development continued or forked. After all, Jesus isn't going to call himself. The Temple needs to be completed.
didn't know /ourboy/ used to be on tiger direct, and also used to talk even faster somehow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vi5c8ALGjko
Tiger Direct is actually how I found out about RTW (and then Tek Syndicate) back in the day. Shame Logan did some bullshit, at least Wendell went on to create a real successor with L1 Techs.
Logan might have started things but Wendell is the real neck beard hero the Tech YT media needs. A long with Steve. God I love Steve.
Oh shit you actually just reminded me to do something. https://chie.club/files/images/st/6ae03518-2572-4e87-950d-37e8c631ac36.gif
Updates in the adventures of "GMan003 tries to find a TV that isn't fucking ass": I bought an LG today, mostly on the advice of Babnux but also because there was a 2017 model on clearance for $300. Sadly, I'm already thinking of returning it because there's a million small problems that make it infuriating. First, it doesn't let you disable the TV input. The one I literally told it during setup I don't have, and which I don't have plugged in, and which displays nothing but static. Really goddamn loud static. It is, as best as I can tell, the default input, so every time I turn this thing on it's going to blast me with white noise. Did some searching, the top results are "RTFM n00b", "I couldn't fix this but if you do this it at least just displays 'no input' instead of raping your ears" and a decade-old "we've been hearing a lot of complaints and I've forwarded this to the engineering team" post. I think I've got it defaulting to composite video now, which does a black screen unless my Gamecube is on, but seriously, there's a menu option on all the other inputs to remove it, why not this? I can't even reorder the inputs, the TV one is always on top. The whole point of a smart TV is that you don't need cable! Why make that your most visible feature? Even on the home bar menu, the biggest button is "favorite channels". Second, it buffers CONSTANTLY on about half my shit. I've tried 802.11ac and ethernet, no dice. I'm not even trying to do 2160p, it's taking literally a thirty-plus seconds to load a 1920x804 video, and it'll hitch at some point in the next minute. It's very inconsistent - or rather, very strangely consistent. Doesn't like Marvel movies but Rick and Morty is fine. Does my TV have its own taste in what to watch? If so I have some serious questions about why Street Fighter: The Movie or Melancholy of Haruhi Suzimiya is worth playing but not Blade Runner or Archer? This fixed itself while I was typing this post but leaving it in because the idea of a TV smart enough to have taste in film but not smart enough to have good taste is funny to me. IDK if it was downloading updates or what but it did not like local media streaming for an hour or two. I'm going to test further and see if the problem comes back - because if it regularly flakes out, it's back to the returns department with it forth-fucking-with. Third, it still has fucking ads. Not nearly as bad as the Samsung was but I push the home button and BAM "TOM CLANCY'S JACK RYAN A PRIME ORIGINAL NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON PRIME NOW" on the left of the screen. I haven't started going in and blocking anything yet, I'm sure it'll be fairly easy but seriously do they just not make TVs without OS-level ads anymore? That is like the one ethical thing I've tried to do all year - find a company that isn't shoveling ads down our throats, and reward them with my patronage. Fourth, and not particularly problematic, it technically doesn't fit on the bookshelf I use as a TV stand. It's just an couple CM wide but the feet hang off the edge. I slid a board of wood under it to make it work but I'll need a new TV stand if I want it to be permanent, and if I do that I may as well upgrade from 40" to 55". Why do modern TV makers insist on putting the feet at the very corners of the screen? It would make more sense to cantilever it, position them at 25% and 75% so you have literally half the span. I swear I need to get rich enough that I can start a hardware company so I can make basic consumer electronics that don't suck. Am I just really picky or something? I'm even getting mad at my microwave for having a too-loud and too-long beep sequence.
Shame Tigerdirect was such a shit company too.
My smart TV in my room wouldn't stop asking me to enable sending usage statistics (literally a popup every few days) so I just disconnected it from the wifi
i should buy a modmat and then never ever actually use it
GN makes some good content, but I think they're stretched way too thin, and that hurts their testing methodologies and end results. Techspot/HardwareUnboxed has better test results (generally), when supplemented by AnandTech and Phoronix, gives a much better picture. But if you wanna see VRM teardowns and weird shit, GN is the place to go.
The problem is that GN should really hire more people, but they obviously can't because they don't have enough money, because their viewership will never be large because GN's content will never have the entertainment factor to attract a wider audience.
Well they probably didn't get more people because they were crammed into a tiny house where people were tripping over lights. Given they just got a new large office I would imagine they could pick up 1-2 more people
fyi: chrome 69 may introduce some hiDPI issues (blurry text when maximized) they're already working on it https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=880513
Yeah, their new situation looks a whole lot more promising. I was shocked when the showed how little space they were working with but still managed to produce decent content.
Reminds me of my room when I tried doing filmed videos of hardware. Took like an hour just to play tetris and shift things around to fit a tripod.
i just upgraded and wow the ui is now terrible i prefer firefox anyway, but nonetheless. terrible design choice by google
Stop fucking with the UI Google. It was fine before and now it looks ugly.
