i5-2540M, 8GB DDR3 (2 x 4GB), 240GB Sandisk SSD, Intel HD 3000, and a 1600x900 IPS.

$90 for that little thing ain't bad

I'd pay that.

Sucks that NVMe doesn't work

I don't even have NVMe on this

Stuck with mSATA and ExpressCard

I want to try to put a non-NVMe SSD into it but I don't want to waste the money

the specs say NVMe should work

imagine having a 1 tb SSD inside a 11.6" netbook

that'd be nuts.

t420 suck tbh

T420 ain't bad it's just old

just get t430 and enjoy your usb3

I mean, I've got a USB 3 ExpressCard

expresscard

enjoy extra heater

yee

doesn't that kill the battery

I don't have a battery in this.

It died a few weeks ago

i've been thinking of getting one for my x220

oh

xx30 with classic keyboard is the biggest shittiest meme. egpu is better than this

t. chiclet

not sure if I should trust 9 cell batteries from Amazon

There are some replacement batteries I could buy from there so I don't have to deal with import

for t420?

i can give u taobao link

taobao would help

https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=563638280816

thank

now to throw my shekels at an agent

cheaper as well, $33 CAD vs the $45-$60 CAD it would cost on Amazon

but it is used

oof

received mine. first used was in 2014. 96% health. lg cell

Last time i checked my health on my 6 cell battery, it was at 15%

less than 5 cycle

How do you check battery health?

i was wrong

manufactured apr 2015, used aug 2015

on windows, lenovo vantage

I used lxqt's battery manager

>2019
>720p

The health of that battery gradually fucked itself until it got down to 30min

@porco do they come with freedos like in thailand lol

then it just stopped working

11 inch laptop friend

anything less than 1080p is unacceptable

even my chinkphone is better than that

@bentech no it came with Windows 10 S + 2 years of free Office 365 + 1 TB onedrive

I booted windows, activated one drive and installed Linux

I only use Windows on my desktop

I use Linux on everything else

I play fighting games and 90% of them refuse to work on linux so, it's rip.

Skullgirls is the only damn fighting game that'll work on Linux since it's native.

do you mean mortal kombat kind of gmaes

or something els

how about wine

BBCF gives an error with both Proton and regular versions of Wine.

It's not supported in the slightest.

So does BBTAG

I'm more talking, airdasher types

Guilty Gear, BlazBlue, Arcana Hearts, all that shit doesn't work on Linux

Even with Wine.

>gaymes

at least I can play doom on this thing

well

gzdoom

quake is superior to doom

quake is better.

x is better than y

In chromosome? No

Y'all have an X370/X470 motherboard of choice? I ended up going with the Crosshair VI Hero WiFi because it had the best power setup, but I'm having issues with USB ports failing, thinking about warrantying it and selling the replacement to get something else, sounds like I'm not the only one with the issue.

gigabyte have stepped it up and got rid of the trash uefi they had in x370 days, so I can recommend the x470 aorus gaming 7 wifi

really sweet VRM for OC and their bclk implementation breaks the AMD standard and is way better than what everybody else offers

if you set bclk on ryzen it's meant to lock the cpu at base multiplier but it just doesn't on Gigabyte boards

so that's a good thing I guess

I thought the unexpected competer on AM4 was MSI with their vrm design?

what

uhhhh

yes it was

but only on the low-mid end

their b350 and low end x470 boards are great pickups for the $$$

but as the C6H is a high end board I'd assume he's going for another high end board

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Still haven't made the jump. Guess i'll wait for 2 now

Yeah X470 prices will dip when X570 comes out along with Zen2 soon™

cursed pc build

>i9

at first i thought they got a z270 motherboard because of the manual

also what the fuck is that SSD

chink ssd

i have a 9900K but i don't think I would recommend anyone to buy one lmao

9700K is more than enough

especially not when you buy a 1070 ti

at least its not 7820X :D

also whats max ghz on 9900K for single/dual core setup

where you can clock more

i think stock turbo boost is two core 5GHz

all core 4.6 or 4.7

i didn't bother overclocking mine yet

>i9

\*burns your house down\*

nothing personel

mine peaks at 65 °C under load

yeah 95W tdp aint gonna burn much

unlike certain 250w tdp GPUs

i disabled the stock TDP <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

huh

95W?

150W

yeah 9900K STOCK TDP is 95W

I thought i9 were in 130ish range

and more

way more when OCd

https://lambda.sx/2Ng.png

no, it's 95W advertised and what it should be with default BIOS settings

it can do it fine tbh, as long as you don't overclock it

this is with my fans off <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

but who the fuck runs prime 95 all day

unless its winter

:P

current ambient

@Goz3rr you can get that kind of workload when compiling jvm/c++ projects a lot

for hours

so it's not completely unreasonable

nah, gcc doesn't produce anywhere near as much heat as prime95 small fft

AVX and FPU instructions are what really heat up a CPU

neither are used by compilers

but on stuff like stress-calculations and such

... reason why i have cryorig H5 in my 2600k

yeah that would do it

h5 iirc is specified for 160w (without fans)

(2600k being 95w TDP too )

and i have 2 fans on the heatsink sooo~

OC it

i watercooled my gpu and cpu

but run my system passive most of the time

it is already OCd duh

custom loop or aio?

custom

friendly reminder than AIO is an overpriced meme that performs at best as good as regular air coolers

as some wise man said : There is no "overkill." There is only "open fire" and "time to reload."

at triple the price

AIO has better aesthetic

if you want aesthetic, you probably want a custom loop anyway

obligatory rgb lights

the top tube is done shitty

but i ran out of the right fittings

so i had to make do

also those pre-made loops are actualy way more effective than air ones

what's the paper towel for

looking for leaks?

leak testing

mostly due they redirect the heatspreader to wall where it goes >out

this was a few hours after i turned it on

stressful

instead the thermal radiation metalbrick being middle of the case

nice case

unless the cooler is like this

I got a very similar case

also Fucking CES should be sooner

except without that metal thing covering the psu cables

im already frustrated of waiting

and without glass because I'm not gay

>not gay

smh

when I got it I thought it would be sized like any other atx case I had before

but turns out it's eatx and it's massive

well it is EXTENDED ATX

so yeah fuckers need space :P

not complaining though, has really nice drive caddies

and a lot of them too

at least its not ssi MER

oh, it's not the one I thought you have

Evolv X

https://youtu.be/7vHFjbZzdX8

just look at the fucking thing

it looks and feels even more massive in real life

mostly due i think those are also thicker pcb

tfw no dual epyc ssi eeb mainboard

imagine 128 cores

imagine no need for heating on your home anymore

and the fan noises

but yeah

dualcores specialy if its ability to split them to 2 different systems

setting up VFIO

enjoying your VMs to fullest

>enjoying your 3 chrome tabs to the fullest

ftfy

128 cores... Imagine using Netflix and discord at the same time

#chromeuserdreams

All memes aside, chrome is snappier on weak hardware than Firefox

ofc you could install that to something silly like thermaltake core W200

what is like dog house sized "case"

Who wouldn't want a datacenter in their home

this stuff look comfy

@cam-peterson that's not technology related, but very cool!

What size are SSD screws? I'm tired of the shit hardware included with everything, going to just go buy a bunch if good stuff and use that for builds.

m2 friend

Not the new SSDs, the older 2.5" ones

did i said m2. i mean m3

fine thread m3, coarse thread 6-32unc

Both close enough to match?

both diameter around 3mm

usually m3 screw. length varied with with chassis thickness

u could tried ~~3 or~~ 5 mm length

Right on, I'll grab a few of those. Thanks!

How do I reset an AMI bios in a tablet without removable battery and single frame case without screws to unplug the cmos battery?

Hard mode: the gpu has been deactivated in the bios so I don't see anything

I tried ESC to enter the bios blind, then F9 for load defaults and enter to confirm, then F10 to exit and enter to confirm, nothing happened

Maybe the USB controller is also deactivated

riperoni

You say it's ded beyond salvation?

It's a coworkers tablet, he tried to install Linux on it for some reason

no. i mean riperoni as rip ur life

no other way than to power cycle that bih

Maybe letting the battery discharge to 0 will trigger a reset and there's no actual cmos battery inside

But that's going to take a long time to get done

just hook up usb powered device

Great idea, just did that, seems like USB power is working

@Tervy https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-ryzen-9-3800x-matisse-listed-with-16-cores-and-125w-tdp

125w tdp <:bleach:264926641359290368>

Oh shit.jpg if true

nvm 16crores

ryzen 5 max comfy

Sooon.jpg for max comfy

Lmao the tablet has a security mechanism

When battery reaches 5 %, it won't boot anymore

Probably to prevent a CMOS reset

that's the battery protection probably

That means that if I deep uncharge it, I risk fucking the battery because the system tries to prevent me from doing it

Locked down tablets hurray

you probably just need to remove the screen

It's not that easy, it's an aluminum frame with a few bolts and no screws

I could probably bent it open

Dremel

lmao that's drastic

But fun

I'll just tell him to toss the tablet if that doesn't work, I'm helping out of friendlyness

@porco what model is tablet

You could see if it can be forced via usb-tools

It's some dell with x86 bay trail cpu, not sure about the exact model

Lemme see

There are a few that look like that

Looks like it could be a dell venue something

I can't verify unless I reset the bios
