@eric @not_benis

I don't know ANYTHING about modern consumer end computers dude.

@splitshockvirus @not_benis it's one of the few that can fit according to pcpartpicker
Eric Zhang
Public
@not_benis @splitshockvirus Kinda want to keep my i5-14600KF though. Doesn't cost too much more
not_benis
Public
@eric @splitshockvirus do you have that already?
not_benis
Public
@splitshockvirus @eric to be honest watercooling always makes sense with the heat densities we've reached these days
not_benis
Public
@eric @splitshockvirus don't get it, Meteor Lake is a complete joke and the platform is dead. If you want better productivity performance swap out the 7800X3D for a 7700X
Eric Zhang
Public
@not_benis @splitshockvirus Why tho? Also I want to swap the GPU cooler for a regular fan and the case with something that doesn't have a glass side panel.
not_benis
Public
@eric @splitshockvirus heat problems, they're basically overclocked from the factory.
The glass side panel is not a problem if you set up the case as a vertical wind tunnel with intake fans on the bottom and exhaust fans at the top.
You're also not going to keep any modern processor sufficiently cool without a dual tower air cooler, liquid cooling just makes a lot of sense.

@eric @splitshockvirus it's Micro ATX, therefore it doesn't fit
Eric Zhang
Public
@not_benis @splitshockvirus Oh shit I didn't check lmao

@eric @splitshockvirus if the motherboard doesn't look about as big as a postage stamp, it's not Mini ITX

Public
@not_benis @splitshockvirus @eric Mini-ITX is massive lol, I could fit four mobos onto one of them
Eric Zhang
Public
@birdulon @not_benis @splitshockvirus How many Raspberry Pis can I fit in a mini-ITX case?
moving to @nyanide@lab.nyanide.com

@eric @not_benis @splitshockvirus @birdulon hey guys, this is austin, how many raspberry pis can i fit in a mini-itx case?
moving to @nyanide@lab.nyanide.com

@eric @birdulon @not_benis @splitshockvirus did i just mix together scott the woz and austin evans what the fuck
moving to @nyanide@lab.nyanide.com

@birdulon @eric @not_benis @splitshockvirus i did do not look at the edit history

@birdulon @splitshockvirus @eric do you deal mainly with SBCs?
Birdulon
Public
@not_benis @splitshockvirus @eric in a sense, though mainly Ryzen miniPCs
Eric Zhang
Public
@not_benis @splitshockvirus I think I am still going with the 7800 XT, I don't have a lot of demanding titles anyways
not_benis
Public
@eric @splitshockvirus aren't the 7900 GRE supposed to be cheap in China?
Eric Zhang
Public
@not_benis @splitshockvirus No. The AMD 7800 XT is 3749 CNY rn, the Sapphire 7900 GRE is 4499 CNY, which is 750 CNY or roughly 107 USD more

Public
@eric @splitshockvirus no XFX options?
Eric Zhang
Public
@not_benis @splitshockvirus On Taobao for 4134 CNY
not_benis
Public
@eric @splitshockvirus I've never used taobao for obvious reasons but it seems like a good deal, XFX make budget cards but they're perfectly fine
Eric Zhang
Public
@not_benis @splitshockvirus XFX cards are actually import btw
not_benis
Public
@eric @splitshockvirus oh? I thought they were basically all assembled on the mainland
Eric Zhang
Public
@not_benis @splitshockvirus It happens a lot actually
atlas_core (pl. alt)
Public
@eric @not_benis @splitshockvirus even with demanding titles, I guarantee you that thing will be fucking powerful. Even an RX 6650 XT on my end is able to do stellar things.

Public
@atlas_core @splitshockvirus @eric iunno man, I'm playing a new UE5 game's demo and my XTX is crying for mercy trying to drive my QHD monitor at 120 fps
atlas_core (pl. alt)
Public
@not_benis @splitshockvirus @eric okay I should've specified so long as you stay reasonable at 1080p@60
not_benis
Public
@atlas_core @splitshockvirus @eric 60 fps just makes me mad these days and I don't understand people who still tolerate it
atlas_core (pl. alt)
Public
@not_benis @splitshockvirus @eric I dunno. I'm not a hardcowre cod gaymer or something.
not_benis
Public
@atlas_core @splitshockvirus @eric I can't remember the last time I touched a shooter, I subsist on a strict diet of action games
atlas_core (pl. alt)
Public
@not_benis @splitshockvirus @eric Good because there are like only three decent actually interesting shooters coming out these days
Eric Zhang
Public
@not_benis @splitshockvirus @atlas_core It's over. (A lot of Xbox 360 games are locked at 30 fps btw)
Eric Zhang
Public
@not_benis @splitshockvirus @atlas_core Can I play a Source engine game in 4K 60 FPS on a 7800 XT xd xd

@eric @not_benis @splitshockvirus itx? you should just buy a rtx 4060 sff.
not_benis
Public
@dcc @splitshockvirus @eric no need for compromise, modern SFF cases can manage a lot more than that
Eric Zhang
Public
@not_benis @dcc @splitshockvirus I wonder if there are SFF cards less than or equal to 12 cm in length that isn't a GT 1030

@eric

You have constrants that you can't work outside of because of that form factor. That is one of the smallest coolers Noctua offers and you have a processor according to intel uses 125W tdp. Noctua's recommendation is go no higher than 65W. noctua.at/en/nh_l9i_tdp_guidel

There's a 10 core i5-14400F that would probably be a better fit. Unless you are going to under clock or delid that 14 core.
