    Go through your BIOS and see if your board's version of multi-core enhancement is turned on. I've got a Phanteks MP280 sitting on a 12600K with that nonsense turned off as well as a modified voltage/boost table (at least, as modified as my incredibly stupid board will do since it doesn't really listen), and with it sitting at 4.5GHz? on performance cores and 3.9 on efficiency cores or something to that effect, the highest I see under any extended load with a 23-26C ambient is high-70s with random little spikes into the bottom 80s. I'm sure I could make it cooler but I run my pump low for noise and my fan curve peaks at 700RPM at 80C lol

    Bought a piece of cardboard for $162 (thank you black Friday sale that took it to ~$191 followed by my 20% associate discount at work). Now I can finally use legit Photoshop, Lightroom Classic, Premiere, Audition, and Acrobat and I don't even have to pay Adobe the usual asking price of ~$700 a year.

    Honestly it wouldn't be hard. I've got a Pentium Pro and an MMX with 128MB and 64MB? of RAM respectively, I could totally just steal the RAM from the Pro and install Windows XP or a super light Linux distro on it. Bam, LTT on a CPU older than me.

    The one you're looking for is probably a C19 to NEMA 5-15-P. Or if you're a fancy bitch, NEMA 6-20P, but I really doubt you'll have those plugs in a typical residential room lol

    The effect of the fans spinning up and down such a relatively small amount matters pretty much exactly zero in the long run. Them spinning in general will cause more wear on them than ramping up and down a few hundred RPM occasionally.

    I see this now. And now that I know more about him, it does suck that KZ kinda did him dirty, but on the bright side that also means my dumbass will probably be buying the FHE Eclipses at some point in the not too distant future. Kind of simpy however his "IEF neutral but also bass" curve is kind of a vibe. And the Eclipses overall have a similar curve to the CRNs... But with the sort of motif of "fuck you, bass."

    Honestly I can understand that completely. Now that I'm used to having something shoved halfway into my skull they're starting to grow on me at least. Doesn't help that my dumbass actually only swapped out one tip for a small, I ended up putting the largest tip on the other ear and now that I've swapped both to the smallest I think I actually might end up keeping the mediums on mine. Not quite as comfy but they do get a little more low end punch going. I did not like them at first, and I still hate how plugged up my head feels with them in (and how you can hear everything your body does). Though on the flipside, the noise isolation is absurd. Last night my dad was trying to get my attention for quite a while by talking loudly with my sister outside my open doorway which is behind me while I was listening to music at not even all that loud of a volume. That is actually pretty damn funny if true. Especially for me because I have no idea who the hell Crinacle is, I'm completely audio illiterate and ultimately end up asking other people for help when it comes to anything audio related that goes on/in my head. This is also very true, it took me longer than I will publicly admit to figure out how the flying fuck these things were supposed to go. Hell, I thought the actual driver bits were side-specific for at least [REDACTED AMOUNT OF TIME]. Now though it's almost like my AirPods where I just immediately know how they go, even without cheating by looking at which side has the mic which I will literally never use. That is something I noticed going from the iPhone 7 I got in 2020? to the 13PM I got earlier this year. They did get a bit stiffer and less rubbery. But as long as you don't pick your phone up by the cable and use it as a flail, the cables hold up just fine. I used the cable from the 7 up until just a few months ago and it's held up great. Only "defect" with it is where I rolled over it with a chair and cracked the housing on the Lightning end.

    It's not really that hard to figure out. SSDs, like quite a few other parts in your system, ship with firmware. Sometimes after release, manufacturers figure out ways to improve it. If you ever need an example, from Samsung no less, just look back at the 840 EVO. They had a pretty harsh issue reading older data on the drive, so Samsung figured out what was causing it and pushed a firmware update that fixed it. Happens all the time, especially with the drives in prebuilt systems from the likes of HP and Dell.

    @soldier_ph inspired me to finally buy some wired in-ears since the DualSense sucks at driving headphones, and completely by accident I ended up getting some ZEX Pro's as well, though mine are the CRN flavor as apparently they've got more low-end bias than the vanilla ones (and I am a filthy zoomer who likes copious amounts of bass). Certainly a very weird feeling compared to my 2nd gen Airpods which fit my ear perfectly, it's very unusual having in-ears shoved this deep into my head. Might have to see if there are even smaller tips available, even though I'm using the smallest tips included in the box it honestly still feels like it might be just a smidge too large.

    My uneducated guess is they're just some of the best binned chips Nvidia has and not a whole lot else really. Better bins = lower voltage = waaaaaay lower power draw and the ability to throw dumb idiot coolers like that one on and not have it turn into the second coming of Chernobyl.

    I have a huge soft spot for blower-style cards for some asinine reason, and the weirder they are (single slot or half-height) the more I like em so uhhhhhh
  12. flibberdipper
    Hot damn I wish I had that kind of luck lol, I'm not looking forward to dropping another ~160 on an SSD for my PS5 in the near-ish future.
  13. flibberdipper
    Probably one of the stupidest things I've done so far but credit card go brrrrrrrr I guess. Best part is the only one I can download and play is Stray, the rest will absolutely decimate our stupid data cap so I have to wait to bring my PS5 to a friends house and abuse his unlimited cap for a day or two.

    Early Windows XP machine CPU: 2x PIII 1000>>>>P…

    flibberdipper replied to Dabombinable's status update

    My 1266's on a P3TDDE are hilarious. CPUs run ice cold, the board runs ice cold, the single 512MB ECC stick I have runs a wee warm, and the passive 9600 Pro... Well it sucks for multiple reasons (the main one being that it's a 9600 Pro). Eventually I'd love to "revisit" it and do a full-fuck build with a 3650 or 3850 and 4GB of RAM. Probably dual boot XP and Vista for funsies.

    Got me a mf spaceship. Ended up just getting the Ragnarok digital edition bundle from Target (got the last one, woohoo) since I honestly don't care all that much about having the disc. While it would be nice to get games for less money, I just can't get over how meh the disc drive makes it look.

    Menus are locked to 60FPS so GPU load is generally quite a bit lower than in game. Once you get into a game, it's able to pound the GPU and most cards have a fairly gentle initial curve with smoothed out hysteresis so the fans aren't as jarring on the ramp up. Then after that, it doesn't take too much longer for the cooling solution to overcome the initial heat load and get 'er down to a normal point.

    I can adjust the pool range and set manual IPs from MAC address but that's it. Generally works well but I have so much shit of my own that I take up at least half of the allocations our dumb router allows for. If we had unlimited I really wouldn't give a rats ass, but I have to be somewhat anal retentive about it right now. That UI is also leagues above what I have to deal with and I'm kinda jelly. When I do my "alright how fucked are we this week" calculations, I have to add up the usage for each device manually, and pray that the power doesn't go out at any point (like it did today), otherwise the stats up to that point are gone.

    Mine has been completely black for maybe a month? Around the same time content tiles/fonts grew in size (but before this last update that brought rounded tiles and the video glow).
  19. flibberdipper
    For me at least it's still the same, but the content tiles and text seem a decent bit larger.

    Man I forgot about that boi. Somehow the only thing I dug up in the time I had today was another TP-Link router, but I feel like that would have the same stupid arbitrary limit to how many static IPs I can set. Also as far as IP tracking, this isn't so much as to keep track of devices so being wired doesn't matter much at all (hell, outside of my own shit 85-90% of my house is wireless) but rather largely to keep track of per-device data usage. Especially important right now seeing as we still don't have a cap-less plan and I don't get access to the account (long idiotic story on that one), but it would still be useful later on since I'd be able to see if something just randomly starting consuming a metric dickload of data out of the blue. Current router is wall-mounted and there is functionally zero slack in any of the wire to even think about relocating. Also, being wall-mounted in a visible part of the house that would look absolutely godawful. The only place we could feasibly move it would be into the basement directly below where it is now, but that would still be sub-optimal for cabling, looks, and then wireless signal strength would take a fat dumpy. I'm also not a fan of how my dad decided to do things, but I'm just the person who keeps the internet machine working correctly and not the one who decides where shit goes unfortunately.

    I'm fully aware of this, I'm not an idiot. Shoulda been able to find my reasoning for setting static IPs if you read what I typed.
  22. flibberdipper
    Not super keen on having to re-do ethernet runs since the current 4 (technically 5 if you include the one to the modem) runs are very much meant to go straight to a router, plus it'd be super nice to assign addresses again, which again, I'm well past the limit of with this current router. 1. Makes it easier to keep track of devices, not have shit shuffle around, and keep track of how much data each one is using. 2. See above. This isn't rocket surgery. I'm not looking for answers to questions I didn't ask in the first place.

    My family is looking for a router upgrade, but we need something somewhat outside the realm of normal for most routers. We're in the market for something with the seemingly elusive 8LAN/1WAN setup (since most offer a 4LAN/1WAN configuration). We're trying to avoid switches, mainly because I do not want to deal with re-wiring shit. Below is the KISS hitlist: What the family wants: A roughly $150 US scheckle budget 8 LAN ports + 1 WAN port Good 5GHz signal strength, it only needs to cover something like 40-50 foot radius and two levels What I want: Oodles of static IPs to set, our current router only allows me to set 48? static IPs based on MAC address which is super annoying Decent traffic statistics so I can keep track on how much each device uses per month

    That was defo annoying at first but I've only ever needed the full context menu maybe 3-4 times since switching to 11 in general (think I threw it on my laptop in the first 3 months of this year and have been running it on the desktop since upgrading).
