but lmao who knows acer for their laptops anyways

they're better than HP, that's for sure

if I transition away from chromebooks, I'm likely gonna get an aorus laptop

@Monkey Brain Jake this is gay

am i the only one around here thinking about building a burst mining rig?

yes, you are

only makes sense if you already have the hard drives

so... guess what I found in a malwarebytes scan

this baby

<:FeelsLELMan:356316501105442817>

I feel dumb for not having thought to search until just today

@Polygon

BITCONNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECCCCCCCCCCCTTTTTTTTTT'

HEY HEY HEY

HEY HEY HEY

HEY HEY HEY

WUSSUHWUSSUHWUSSUHWUSSUHWUSSUUUUUUUUUUUUPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP BITCONNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECCCCCCCCCCCCCCTTTTTT

MY WIFE STILL DOESN'T BELIEVE IN ME

@king you're not nice :^(

also change your name back to the fancy squiggle text like mine

@Polygon so basically you were getting fucked by a virus leeching off of you for the currency of permavirgins

sorta, lol

I mine when I'm not home, it brings in a few dollars a week, just kinda dumb that some virgins were leeching off of me

but now I'm gonna try and figure out how I got it

there's a difference between casual mining and literally ruining the GPU market, so you have to go leech off of others

cloud mining contracts seem to be paying off pretty well actually

so, I'm trying out keyshot

is anyone fluent in it? I'm tryna figure out the color management and all that, I imported this from sketchup, and none of the colors carried

I'm gone fishin with friendos. Be back later fellas

ok

ok have fun don't drown sweetie

@Polygon that build looks good but i already have a monitor

should i put the rest into the solid state drive

yeah, get like a Samsung 240GB 860 EVO

question tho, whats your name about lol

lol

im an alpha fucking male

and how does this look

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yHLZ8Y

@Polygon

im taking stock cooler btw

not looking to overclock my cpu

looks good, might wanna go for a different version of that GPU though

and you can get an OS for like 30 bucks on ebay

is asus back

bad*

oh

deadass?

dammmm

no it's good, but that cooler doesn't look that great

yeah

or free if you use KMS pico

eh

stock cooler should do the trick for me

get a better power supply, go for the one I picked out

not doing highly cpu intensive tasks

the stock cooler is alright

i mean my build only takes 223 watts

I'm talking about the GPU cooler

right but you're probably gonna want to keep that PSU in the future

ye

so get a 500W at least, then it'll have bronze rating

kk

im not going to be able to build the desktop for a while

since its online i have to beg my mum and dad

dont have a job yet bud

@GirlBeGood I'll help you for free and give the best advice

and I'll actually give you parts on paper for reference rather than vaguely tell you what you're looking for

hmu tomorrow @7pm EST and I should be ale to help you with it then, knock everything out on the list.

Don't worry, I'm versatile depending on use case, I don't have this absurd egotistical bias to get the best hardware for no reason (unless it's an absolute benefit for your needs)

ok

sounds good Thank you

and hmu in DM's when you do, it's more organized than this open chat

Im going to get the parts around May

Would you be willing to help me in voice channel or

actually I can just look up tutorials

Nice way of saying "haha this guy doesn't know what he's talking about"

I can help you in voice channel, but overall tutorials aren't completely educated up to date as an individual like myself, and aren't appropriating to specific need/desire. If that is what you wanna do though, go for it. Otherwise, my offer is available.

I'm not saying you don't know what you're talking about

I already showed him a parts list

What's his budget?

one that I truly believe will get him what he needs on a budget

800, he said

Show me the list

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NMdkTB

not including the OS ofc, but an ebay key will keep it at like 20 over what he had and it'll have two more cores, in case his workload ever changes

That's a decent build, only problem is the small form factor loses versatility, the m-atx mobo doesn't even allow for a second pcie x16 slot, and if he ever DID go beyond his current use, he may run into expandability/compatibility issues.

going full ATX is cost prohibitive

that's a big IF

CPU and architecture are good, motherboard is cheaped out on a but but sufficient, RAM would be more practical as 2x4gb dual channel. get a seagate barracuda>west digi blue

that last one may be bias

definitely bias

also ATX isn't expensive

looking at raw statistics, WD blues have a lower failure rate

not saying they're better

but it's more expensive than MATX

these are budget boards, meant for budget oriented people

he could spend $30 more on an ATX mob and $25 more on an ATX case, and $15 more on PSU to eliminate upgrade restriction and would keep him right on budget.

seeing that he went for a $700 build, it seems like he's not exactly wanting to spend the whole eight hundo

being on a "budget" doesn't mean being "imprisoned", the actual question goes to the person in need of the PC

So what does HE desire?

I just don't think he's gonna go for SLI

or crossfire

it's not economic in most cases, and it's just a lot of heat and room taken up

that future versatility for small extra cost (no more than $100 more but money well spent if he DOES upgrade), or a one-time build for his current needs that will be disposable when his needs change or it becomes a drag for him?

I get that the freedom to do so is great, that's my argument for the second amendment, all the time.

I know the feeling, I think about that with my board all the time, it's hard to find server boards that support SLI

Don't get me wrong, I don't care for SLI or crossfire, but it really depends on the person.

Especially fi you have autism

and don't want to be pinged

or are a dog

and angerey

and gay

Is he gonna use the PC for more than LoL and CS:GO is the real question

may he evolve to play more demanding games?

Welp, gotta sleep. gnight @Polygon

gnight m8

don't let the k!kes steal your money while you sleep

I'm guessing he's probably gonna use something some day that'll be intensive enough to warrant more than a 1050 Ti

At the current cost of the 1050ti, he might as well get a GTX 760,770,780 or anything at least as good as the 760 used alternatively.

it'd be way cheaper and more practical for his needs.

because of you know, cost.

whats sli or crossfire

sounds dope af

it's where you stripe two of the same card to get the performance of both combined

dayummm

but it isn't 100% efficient, it is AT MOST like 70% efficient

oh

so you get 1.7 times the performance for double the cost

doesnt sound so dope anymore

but FPS has never been a linear measurement

eh its fine

ill take 1050 ti

yeah, but if you already have the first card it can be practical

also when you have the top of the line card and want MOAR POWER

Lol

@Wayne if MGPU becomes more widespread it'd be so much better than SLI
I hope that starts happening sooner

cant SLI 1060s ffs

post your trophy room

idk what kind of business decision it was to prevent people from SLI'ing 1060's

maybe to force people to buy the single better card

for both profit and practicality

it's like 12 percent better in SLI than a single 1080 I think or something like that

and it would've been cheaper, so they had "no choice" but to not support SLI on the 1060 or lower

@SchloppyDoggo is it hard to play video games with your arthritis

@Sverd you just mad you cant even kill the brood mother on beta

what generic survival game is htis

"generic survival game" hahaha kid, you made me laugh

its ARK: Survival Evolved kiddo, the greatest survival game to ever be made so far

>it has the most realistic survival mechanics than any other game and is at the top in its class

i bet you spawn on the beach and instantly get killed by a raptor before you even make a spear newfag

ARK is ok not really all that ground breaking, and the crafting system is tedious tbh

>ARK's crafting system is tedious
geez man, you just outted yourself as a brainlet

sorry did I trigger you

i will give you that the only tedious crafting system is the food and recipies

no you're just making baseless generalizations, lol

>only poorfags dont play ARK

"baseless generalizations"

Well I can explain in detail if you want

I have the game

and could even go back and give an in-depth look

come on man, playing a game for 10hrs doesnt make you an expert on it

and if I recall you've made plenty of these "baseless generalizations" on multiple occasions

"10hrs doesnt make you an expert on it" see

okay

ill take the bait

have any evidence

I don't hate ARK

so have you made it off the island and how long did it take you to beat the tek cave

No no don't try and divert

>hasnt beat the tek cave
>thinks ARK crafting is hard
does your mom know youre a faggot?

wtf?

since when does "hard" = tedious

youre not a real survivor until youve beat the tek cave

You're sitting here making accusations and expect me to want to continue the conversation

you are nothing short of a fanboy

1v1 me then

both kitted out with the same gear

fuck off

and ill still beat u

Pepe's Island is the server.

you wont join fag

yeah I'll join and get my IP logged <:wesmart:359946049588166657>

worse, youre a paranoid fag hiding behind "muh IP" MUH IP

id rekt your ass naked and with just a club

<:FeelsLELMan:356316501105442817>

I think I have an addiction to overclocking

my monitors are at 80 hz, my processors are at 3.35 GHz (compared to 3.1 boost), my GPU is at 1430 mhz, got dang

que

why? Why not

I fucking slept from 12:30 to like 3:30 or something I don't get how I survive in this environment

overclocking monitors

this is a new level of overclocking lmao

well, I was hitting 60 FPS in almost every game, I wanted the competitive edge in PUBG

helps with frame time issues, since there's one frame every 12.5 ms compared to 16.67 at 60 Hz, on average, lets say a frame is rendered somewhere in between two cycles of a clock, you'd probably want it to get there sooner than later. I don't even have to be at 80 FPS to see a difference, I could be at 30 FPS and see a difference. Next stop: OC to 144Hz (kidding, gonna buy better monitors when I get back from the army)

@DreadandPie ^

oh damn, i probably need to look into that but then again my internet probably wont let that make a difference

did you use Precision X or NVidia settings to raise monitor frequency? Also not all monitors will overclock properly

my monitor is 144Hz and OC's with an integration to 165Hz

there is no downside to the OC, so I'm always @fuso5Hz

What

ignore that

lol

Ha

nvidia's software, but I've used other OC software before, the RL2455HM is notorious for being able to overclock to 75Hz

im a little nervous about overclocking monitors

they don't die

usually

almost every overclocking utility resets the settings after 15 seconds unless you click confirm

already had an issue

lol

for some reason even though i didnt apply any settings, nvidia driver stopped working, most display things stopped working, and my main monitor is 4hz above stock

(i wasnt even messing with this monitor)

but i suppose a clean reinstall will fix all that

oof

is your monitor actually a monitor, or a tv?

TV's are a no-no for OC

The monitor that is currently OCing is a monitor

you can only get up to 64Hz?

no, i havent stress tested it

when you OC, does your screen brightness/color change?

i was actually testing another monitor

but for some reason this one took an OC after a reboot

either way i have a clean install running right now- drivers seemed a little wonky anyways

and no they dont

good, if they do usually that means the monitor isn't meant to withstand the OC

what i must wonder now is can i overclock a CRT just for shits and giggles?

CRT?

an old ass monitor

yes

even has screenburn

those things doln't function the same way

they don't have scaling or anything of the sort

damn

they don't have processors inside is what I mean, so they probably can't be OC'd

the display output is analog

yep
good ol vga

need an adapter to get it to work with my 1060

I don't mean the cable, I mean the output to display on the screen, involves analog oscillating waves rather than binary and algorithms

yeah im not fluent in monitor technicalities lmao

take an old tv apart

you'll see what I mean

if you never been on this island then ur mom gay
