Origami Cactus

Again, the same question, how is the platform the i7 12700k futureproof? It has had it's last cpus released, so it is again, a dead platform. Currently only AM5 is a platform with atleast 3 years of new cpu releases planned, AM4 and intel whatever are both pretty much dead.

Sorry for the off topic post on an off topic thread lol. But seriously, using lower weights at the beginning is totally fine, even thought some elitists want you out of their gym for that. I recommend not doing only basic curls, but also the overhead extensions and curls, and some sidelifts etc etc. Also throwing in some bodyweight exercises like pull-ups and push-ups. There are plenty of good workout plans online, I can highly recommend "home workouts" android free app, the basic 30 days muscle building plan is excellent, and really varied.

It is nicehash, it is not actually mining bitcoin, but other algorithms that are infinitely more profitable, but the amount of money you make over a year is still zero, and I find that the amount of time you put into tweaking the miner, turning it on and off, is more valuable than zero. So yes, I would stop doing that. As I said, a far more profitable option would be to just flatout buy crypto for that money that would have gone into your electricity bill instead, you would receive 100x more crypto from that. If I calculated it correctly, you are currently getting about 2 euro cents per day if you would mine 24/7, you would find more money just walking on the street and collecting bottles, in my country a single bottle is worth 10 cents, and when you walk in the early morning you could find like 10 bottles in 10 minutes. So in a single 10 minutes walk you could earn 50x more than your miner gets you in a full day of mining.

I mean, if studpied physical fitness for more than 15minutes then you would understand that under 10lbs weights actually have a place in a beginners arsenal. I don't know if you are just out of touch, but I definitely wouldn't give a beginner 10lbs weights for reverse overhead triceps curls or overhead triceps extension. 5lbs is more than enough for that. Sure, basically anybody could do at least 1 basic triceps curl with a 10lbs weight, but I would argue that a more varied workout with lower weights that lasts 30mins instead of 1min with a weight too heavy can be far more beneficial for beginner. Instead of being an out of touch agonistic loser you could have framed your point in any other way, but instead you chose to word it the worst way possible just to then act like you are the victim. For example you could have suggested that people start with bodyweight exercises and then start lifting weights when they can lift at least 10 lbs, or anything other actually helpful, but instead of being in any way shape or form helpful, you just chose to be a typical egotistical gym douche.

How have people missed the GPU mining collapse that happened a few months ago? It was all over the news, Ethereum is now PoS, so no more GPU mining basically. You have noticed a lot of used RTX 3060's on your used market? That is why. Just stop doing what you are doing, mining on actual GPUs is unprofitable, but what you are doing is just setting tiny amount of money (electricity bills) on fire for literally no reason what so ever. Even if you had free electricity it is still unprofitable, the time that you waste currently on trying to mine is worth more that the amount you would mine over 5 years. Even if you just slept during all that time, it would be a more efficient use of your time. Please just stop. If you want to be a part of crypto community, just buy crypto, it would be 100x more efficient that the way you are currently doing it.

Hardware unboxed actually backtracked on that statement, for pure gaming 7600x with ddr5 is actually better value than the 13600k with even the ddr4.

Off topic doesn't count, so this current post for example wouldn't count. The number decreases when mods find out that your post doesn't fit in general, so they move it to off topic.

I would just add a single stick with the same specs, no need to get a dual kit and just throw away the current stick, it will work fine. As long as for the power usage, your cpu and GPU are the ones that waste a lot of power, m.2 and ram power usage is a drop in an ocean in comparison, so I wouldn't worry about it.

If you are planning on upgrading to the 5800x3d, definitely get the cheapest DDR4 3200mhz CL16 you can find, that cpu doesn't benefit at all from anything faster. G.Skill Aegis is good performance and really cheap, just go with that, it will work good on your r5 5600 as well.

Wow, looks really nice for a 1k€ pc, nicely done. It will crush everything in 4k.

If it is a true budget build I would drop that cooler, the cpu already comes with one, and CL16 ddr4 3200mhz should cost about 50€, not 70, so find a different seller/kit. Now you have already saved 40€ that you can put towards an RX6800. https://fr.pcpartpicker.com/product/Hg92FT/xfx-radeon-rx-6800-16-gb-speedster-swft-319-video-card-rx-68xlaqfd9 Try to find a bit of budget more, and then get the RX 6800 instead of the 6700 for 4k, it is highly recommendable. While at 4k 6700 gets barely over 60fps, the 6800 gets about 85, so I feel like the extra 100€ is justifiable to get a far more future proof GPU for 4k gaming. Obviously if your budget is tight you can just drop the graphics settings in future games to hit 60fps on the 6700.

Create a new thread about it. But you can also try disconnecting the old hdd entirely, and then try booting from the new windows install you did.

yeah

I would say the far larger issue with Sony is the lack of any software updates, one of my phones, the XZ Premium, a really expensive phone got only a single android upgrade over its lifespan. But at least they now promise 3 years instead of 1 so that is something. That being said, Sony is still the number 1 phone manufacturer for me, their software, while not updated frequently is still excellent, and their hardware is on another level compered to all other phone manufacturers. HQ DAC, Dual stage shutter button, dual sim in most models, microSD slot, IP68-rating on every phone, very nice design and good specs. Samsung is bloat central, but in the budget phone deparment they really shine, I think the A52 5G or whatever gets 5 years of software updates, and is way higher specced than any other in similar price.

I would do that anyways, the RX 6800 is massively faster card than the RTX 3070, it is faster than the RTX 3080. But yeah, variability can happen, but large swings like that are a little weird, especially if it is the inbuilt benchmark.

Actually wouldn't be much of a problem, if you would take the approach that VR currently uses, Asynchronous SpaceWarp. Instead of rendering fake sphagetti frames, you take your head movements (or mouse movements on the pc), and you translate the previous frame around, till a newer frame is rendered. You get around the screen border artifacts by taking another VR technology, foveated rendering, and rendering a bit of the area outside the screen edge at progressively lower resolutions, and then smoothing it so it doesn't look pixelated. Yes, it takes a bit of performance hit to do that, but what you get in return is a gaming experience where your screen framerate, and the framerate the game actually runs at are separate. 2kliksphilips made a really good video about it, and I like that technology a bit more than the current DLSS 3.0 implementation. I can already see DLSS 3.1 including some of those methods discussed in that video.

I wouldn't worry about it then at all. It can take a decade for a fan to fail, the original ryzen box coolers were really high build quality (coolermaster built them), so I see no point in buying a replacement fan just in case, just kinda a waste of money imo unless there is more to the story than you have told us.

Didn't know there was so much difference between all the different kinds of rollerskates, but makes sense. But I made that thread on a really inopportune time, I didn't think that the winter was coming and everything would be full of snow, so the earliest I could skate would be in april-may, so quite a while away.

already edited my reply the moment you sent the link of the used 3060ti's being 299$, click f5.

Isn't that thing like 400-500$? Way over budget. @Pixelfie made a good suggestion with the RTX 2060 12gb. I still think the GTX 1080ti would be faster in production workloads, but the RTX 2060 at least has some tensor support, and can be bought new in some markets maybe. EDIT: With the used RTX 3060ti's being in budget it would be the best choice, it is about as fast as a 1080ti, but way newer and has Tensor support, along with the newer hardware encoders/decoders.

There is absolutely no reason to do that. Just create a win 10 install usb, and then install a brand new windows 10 on the SSD. It will be faster, and more troublefree, and the OS itself will be faster because it will be brand new, no bloat.

Usually some cable is loose, so go over all the necesarry cables, unplug them, and carefully replug them. Also worth looking at the manual that came with the motherboard, maybe it has EZ-DEBUG leds (ASUS usually has them), if it has them, look at which one of them lights up, it tells you what the problem is.

The performance difference between the 2 GPUS is 10%, so kinda pointless of an upgrade IMHO. If 3060 was getting you 65fps, then the 3070 would get you 73fps. I would honestly send it back if you can, and save up a bit more to get an actual upgrade. The 3070 costs noticably more than the 3060ti, but doesn't run that much faster. The 3070 doesn't pull an massive amount of power, so honestly the power cables shouldn't make a difference. It pulls about the same as a 3060ti, so if that worked fine, the 3070 should too.

What cpu? For most cpus as you can see from the massive price differece, it makes sense to go with the 3200mhz CL16, because the performance would be extremely similar between the 2. Older AM4 processors had problems running at speeds over 3333mhz, so it made sense to recommend 3200mhz instead of 3600mhz which could cause problems. Now, that isn't the case on the newer processors, but still, the performance difference just isn't there to justify paying 50% more for ram that makes your pc like 1-2% faster.
