Corsair RM850 850W (2019) Yeah this was a really good contender aswell, eliminated the need for extra case fans aswell as the montech has their own case fans. I dig it. Adding this one to my list aswell so i can do a comparison down the road to see which i will gun for!

I've mentioned multiple times so at this point its user choice. And yeah I've said try it its probably hit or miss.

Remember when getting to put our own wallpaper on an iphone was an amazing customization step forward? Yeah a bunch of media devices seem to have forgotten that people like personalizing things. Can't even set a wallpaper on most of the new electronics stuff you get. Hell you're lucky if you are even allowed to change a color of something.

Most "AI Music" stuff is terrible, and it comes directly from the underlying tech not understanding what makes music "Music" Music is not simply a cacophony of sounds smashed together. Basically we've seen three different strategies: 1. TTS pushed through what is essentially vocaloid + midi 2. RVC, which autotunes one voice to the melody of another, without consideration of the underlying musical accompaniment. You will see these pop up as "AI covers" 3. Lyrics and music generated BY the LLM in the same way Dall-E/Stable Diffusion do "artwork" None of these sound pleasant except number 2, and number 2 only sounds passable when the voice being autotuned uses a professional singer in the first place. But why would you bother with it? I've seen it largely used to change the singer of a song as an "AI cover" but it makes you ask "why?", it's like nightcore and LoFi, just speeding up or slowing the song down doesn't fundamentally change the song, but some people do prefer a certain listening experience. So maybe there are people who want every song sung by their favorite singer who has never sung it. It's still GIGO (Garbage In, Garbage Out.) If you use someone's karaoke performance as the input for RVC, the output is still going to sound like that karaoke performance, mistakes and all. Number 1 really only works for Choral or Rap. It will sound terrible outside of that, because fundamentally a TTS isn't generated from song data. But if all you need is a choral accompaniment, it'll do. Number 3, which is what we've seen in the last few months, requires having been trained from the MUSIC and LYRICS together. So the result is that you're going to have a lot of lazy, mass-generated poor quality music because the people generating it, aren't artists. The same people who mass produce "AI Artwork" en masse on deviantart. They're trying to say they're artists, when they're clearly not, and can't even tell why the things they produce lack artistic merit. While, yes, the AI's will improve to a point, they will plateau as a they consume all the input media that they are allowed to, and start feeding off each other and eventually introduce high levels of "bad" art. Which again is why labeling AI generated materials is a matter of survival for AI. Anyway, Music is hard to begin with, to create stuff that sounds pleasing to the audience. AI will never understand this. Lyrics can be substituted (see Weird Al) to the same melody and still be a song, but an AI doesn't understand that.

The past few decades has shown the opposite, so it'll take quite the reversal if this is to happen...

Crate is buggy by design

Yeah, I don't doubt that, I only tested for a few minutes, and most of my games are super light puzzle type games, like the aforementioned sudoku. Haven't tested anything with motion, for example.

Copying programs doesn't work. You always need to install them so all the registery edits and everything are there. Steam games and such are an exception.

I really think that's the problem preventing Linux to become more widespread : ppl need ONE OS and then may want to install extensions/apps/whatever you call that, for specific needs, they don't need 23 more or less specific OSes that are 95% similar This makes me think of far left political parties, they've 95% common ideas but spend their time battling each other over the remaining 5%

do you cook eggs by taking them out of the fridge?

Try an offset curve, should reign in temps even further and actually make the cpu run better, start with negative offset of 20 and see if its stable

https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/list/fbPvt7 7800x3d + 4070tis + 32gb 6000c32 theres a lexar ares 6400c32 rgb kit if you want rgb and its 3€ cheaper but youll have to manually set 6000 after you enable xmp a 4070 super in place of the 4070ti super would cut 230€ off the build to a hair under 1500€ (1496€)

nope, everything is on default in bios. i just enabled expo.

With that ambient temp and running cinebench for 10 mins to almost hit 95C youre more than fine, have you applied a PBO offset curve?

i aplied Arctic MX-4 thermal paste properly

Yes this i whole heartedly agree .

nope, sorry no site at all, have to remove gpu and 2x cooler fans for proper view sadly

Oh shit 95f. Maybe the temps are pretty good actually.

Actually they can, however not all boards allow it and in some instances it can even prevent other hardware from functioning correctly. In the event that Microsoft keys are revoked in the process it can also brick some boards. For Secure Boot to be effective, the Bios needs to be password protected and the boot options need to be restricted. Security is already questionable on most systems anyways since it's the same key re-used for each install whether it be for Microsoft Windows or the widely accepted Microsoft Signed Bootloader Shim used by mainstream linux distros. In a proper implementation it would be generated per system and installed, however it leaves a lot of room for error throughout the entire lifecycle of the system.

Ok. I've just measured the performance on a pretty powerful PC to be awful. the frametimes are very unstable, the games can't even reach 60fps, and won't go beyond, and the lag and loading times are just awful, compared to how these games would run natively on Windows. I know it's emulation, but it's so embarassing that they're so behind bluestacks, and even made this emulation software, when bluestacks exists.

212 should be better, what was the thermal paste situation like?

I agree that there should be a base distro but I really think the world will become more personalized in the future and stores will offer specific hardware bundled with an optimal OS for a specific use case and better user experience. Having a single OS for all use cases is simply impossible. Choice is a much better way forward.

Glad not everything is lost. Thank yourself in the past you certainly prevented mass data loss without even knowning it. Yes that's right way to go. New ssd - install new windows - move possible all files except system. It is unfortunate stressful event I'm fairly certain it will be almost back to it was before eventually you'll encounter missing things but I'm fairly certain you'll remember what you had. So after a month it will be back to your usual computer. Because of usual habits.

1. holy fuck 2. temps arent looking as bad anymore
