My parental got me these guys for Christmas. Certainly a nice upgrade from the stock GX browns that my G Pro X had, these guys made it way quieter and a bit deeper pitch like I had hoped. I kind of miss the tactile-ness since these are linears, but I'm sure eventually I'll get used to it. Pre-lubed is love, pre-lubed is life.

Was wondering why this Celeron 333 was running so hot. Anyone notice the 24 year old mistake?


 

I had a regular Pure Rock 2 on my 12600KF and it did just fine, though I'm also not one of the people that throws a dirty 5.2GHz OC on it because diminishing returns are stupid lol. When I still used that my CPU would draw 135-140w under a worst-case scenario load, and even though the fan curve was lazy for silence it still kept things under 80.

Realistically all of the wrinkles with Zen have been ironed out for a while now, even the AM5 growing pains seem to be over with for the most part. Personally I also plan on ditching Intel sooner rather than later, I'm sick and tired of my mobo and quite frankly, even with the better scheduler of Windows 11 the BIG.little architecture is ass. I love my 12600KF, it's a perfectly performant little guy, but the biggest issues with it are that the scheduler fuckin sucks especially when it comes to VMWare and Steam downloads. I've also noticed that Photoshop in particular acts funky even if I set the affinity to only use the P-cores.

400 billion bytes is just 400 gb or roughly 4 times the usual per say.
 
Memory is built in right on the die, close proximity alone reduces possible latency and interference which let's them push higher speeds.
Of course many other factors play on the overall performance of the chip but the unified memory might be the most important factor.

well.. if you vape like a normal person, and the room is well ventilated, worst scenario is that the dust in your pc is just a bit more sticky than normal.
 
on the flip side.. if you're "ripping fat clouds", no matter how well ventilated the room is, a noteworthy amount of that is gonna find it's way trough your computer and deposit over time.
 
from some real-world experience, a "clean person" smoker or vaper isnt as bad as "that type of customer" that "doesnt eat by their computer" but somehow dorito dust made it into the cooler.

Not a purchase..
 
Finally been seen fit to leave Sheltered Accommodation behind me and I'm renting myself a little 1 bedroom apartment  🙂 
 
 
 
Also Also...there's a cupboard in it bigger than my self storage room so i can save myself £75 a month by giving that up 😄 
 
 
Edit:
Those tiles aren't dirty it's clean to the feel the floor i think it's just paint/abrasion over the years

Unfortunately at 25Mbps there's only so much quality you can squeeze out, extra GPUs won't do you any good there. If 35Mbps is making your games fucky I would at least give ShadowPlay a shot even though it is pretty damn annoying to use sometimes.

This math aint mathin

Oh shit it's over now? Guess I can reel the Mac Mini in a little bit so it's not sitting at 75-80C with the fan rippin (still very quietly but). It would be nice to be able to use it again and not have to think about my PPD tanking since it was the only thing I had running for the entire event. 🤣

Is this bad boy retro yet?? it's 10 years old at this point...

Yeahhhhh you're not shoving a 6800XT in one of those. An RX 6500 sure, but any full-height cards are an immediate no-go unless you absolutely love janky ass workarounds. Unfortunately it's not even a great deal on a 7050, they typically go for about $200 or less on the second-hand market from what I remember.

Event badges have been sent out.
 

 
Ethan_Obi and lCronusl will need to contact me for their badges since they've changed usernames.

To be fair though, as long as nothing breaks in a new and comical way, it'll run it surprisingly well. I've got 11 on my capture box which is an OptiPlex 7020 which has a 4590, and it runs super well. Here before long I'll probably clean install my "totally legal torrent ripping box" which is a Precision 3420/i5 6500 to it as well.

Mine is actually best right around the 1900-1950 mark thanks to an undervolt, which is actually the same general range as stock. If I drag it down to "base" it does technically consume like 100-120w instead of 160-180 however it is quiiiiite a bit slower.
 
Most indeedily, and a lot of people get the two mixed up which only adds to the confusion.

The hyper-simplified way to think of GPU boost is to think of it as automatic overclocking since that's really all it is. The true base clock on my RTX 2080 (at least per spec) is 1515MHz, yet in-game I don't think I've ever seen it below 1900 unless I have my "holy fuck it is hot as BALLS in here" power limit turned on... Where it actually sits about where base clock is.

Nice! Yeah if you were just trying to convert an existing install and not nuke it my route would have very much made you upset lol
