Can you please post a screenshot of the deleted comments that Mari-Lou A speaks of?

Morning?

Again misrepresenting my comment. The best contributors are leaving in their drones because the quality of questions is literally going down the toilet, this is not just an SO thing, it's across the network. If SE cares about keeping its best contributors something must be done about quality, and new contributors who never bother reading the help centre and just come here to post homework questions. The vast majority of new contributors on EL&U post shite. I am not exaggerating. — Mari-Lou A 19 mins ago

I'm not sure that I interpreted wrongly?

Normally AMD processors do not come with stock cooler?

rahuldottech

@Boris_yo ...no processors come with stock coolers, afaik

Boris_yo

Maybe Intel only.

rahuldottech

If you're buying just the processor, that is

Boris_yo

Just processor.

Boxed versions should come with coolers you say?

rahuldottech

@Boris_yo yeah, no cooler for you then. Either way. Intel or AMD.

Boris_yo

4:59 AM

I know tray versions do not have cooler, do not have thermal compound.

rahuldottech

You'll get a stock cooler if you purchase a PC with a processor, be it AMD or Intel.

Boris_yo

Where can I find list of AMD Ryzen generations of processors?

What is 1st generation, 2nd generation, 3rd generation etc.?

rahuldottech

@Boris_yo wikipedia

Boris_yo

What defines generation? 1 Number after Ryzen or 4 digit number?

Ryzen 5 is 1st generation or what?

I tried Wikipedia but all information is mixed.

Ryzen 3, 5, 7, 9

Are these generations?

DemCodeLines

Is it possible in MySQL to check minimum and maximum possible values (based on the allowed range of values for that column)?

Journeyman Geek

5:06 AM

@Boris_yo depends on the model. AMD has a pretty nice stock cooler

Boris_yo

@JourneymanGeek Starting from which generation?

Journeyman Geek

@Boris_yo anything older than ryzen is a bit not very good

Boris_yo

Ryzen 2600 is quite mighty to haul today's games.

DemCodeLines

I'm guessing no one knows?

This is cool

Bob

@rahuldottech Nope.

Every Intel boxed CPU, barring k-series, has a stock cooler included.

rahuldottech

@Bob yeah I just looked it up

LTT videos have let me down

:(

Bob

IIRC all Ryzen CPUs also come with stock coolers.

Tray CPUs might not, but unless you're a large OEM you're not buying trays.

@rahuldottech ...LTT is your source?

As geek would say: dude

rahuldottech

@Bob It's the only exposure I have to PC building, lmao

I'm not really into that stuff

I'm calling it right now: FB's cryptocurrency is going to fail. They'll keep pushing it but no one will like it and eventually they will give up. Shouldn't take more than a couple years

Journeyman Geek

8:18 AM

@rahuldottech eh, maybe

they're doing a few smart things though - like not controlling it

but without more details, who knows

and its not 'really' a cryptocurrency.

Its a fiat currency, just that its corporate, not government owned

@JourneymanGeek Familiar with Jayz2Cents and Linus?

8:56 AM

Do you know if 3200MHz DDR4 memory has backwards compatible speeds? i.e. can it step back to 3000Mhz, 2900Mhz, 2600Mhz?

I saw a motherboard that has 2333Mhz, 2600Mhz, 3000Mhz (OC) and 3200Mhz (OC)

Does that mean that it normally works with 2600Mhz memory modules but when overcloked, can work with higher speeds modules?

Journeyman Geek

9:15 AM

@Boris_yo yes

but faster memory can be a waste a lot of time

Boris_yo

So there is not much difference between 2666Mhz and overclocked 3200Mhz?

Waste in terms of power consumption and heat secretion?

Journeyman Geek

well practically - you'd see differences in some workloads

If you used an IGP you may see some performance difference

Boris_yo

9:32 AM

Looks like for $1250 today you can build a system that can run all games smoothly with 60-75 FPS.

Burgi

morning

Boris_yo

Morning.

Journeyman Geek

@Boris_yo at 1080p? Pretty certainly

Boris_yo

Yes at 1080p.

At 1440p can still be okay?

I don't see a point in increasing resolution when you can enable antialiasing.

Why play in 2K, 4K when you can enable antialiasing?

Journeyman Geek

10:08 AM

@Boris_yo I used to game at 1440p when I got my 4k monitors

djsmiley2k

10:28 AM

@CanadianLuke tis cool, right? :)

At our place we have some terrible big enterprise monitoring systems, and they are terrible and I'm like wtf is this crap.

Journeyman Geek

@djsmiley2k kinda like my job ;p

Burgi

in SG its cheaper to employe a ~~dog~~ person to watch blinking lights than implement @djsmiley2k's company's system

Journeyman Geek

@Burgi someone needs to bite the human if he touches the computer

@Burgi oh hell yes

i hate to imagine how much this system costs.

especially with how unwieldly it is

the router I blindly configured, because BT won't give out any details because 8^&^£ you, works \o/

not that the site told us they'd installed it and connected everything up.

bertieb

@Burgi Oooh, one of those things

I've heard of those

They sound fun

Have to work for 'em, though ;-P

rahuldottech

1:32 PM

So I've been chatting with this girl for a few weeks

And holy crap she really can't start or carry a conversation

So the burden is always on me? Sdvffddvg

Burgi

or maybe she isn't into you

rahuldottech

@burgi She says she is

Burgi

if you don't find her stimulating enough, get rid now because she probably won't change in the near future

Boris_yo

Anyone tried RX 580 graphics card?

rahuldottech

I mean she'll text first and ask what's up, and I'll tell her and ask "wbu" and she'll just say "nothing" and then... Idk? Either say something or ask me to elaborate on my response.

@Burgi yeah, true.

Burgi

1:36 PM

@rahuldottech or that could be the clue for you to ask her if she wants to hook up

Boris_yo

@Burgi Is it a problem to have relationship with non-stimulating girl?

Burgi

@Boris_yo yes

Boris_yo

Why?

Burgi

because it is boring?

Boris_yo

Oh I see. Maybe also because you will always have to do the talking and entertaining.

Burgi

1:38 PM

exactly

rahuldottech

@Burgi she's already said that she won't be able to meet because her dad doesn't let her go outta the house and doesn't allow (male) visitors

@Boris_yo yes. It's painful.

Burgi

get rid then dude

Boris_yo

Sounds like she's an introvert. Just sounds...

Burgi

i suggest calling or facetiming her and guage her reaction to that

rahuldottech

@Boris_yo introverts can talk to others just fine

Burgi

1:40 PM

if the conversation dies then its time to move on

rahuldottech

Especially on chat

@Burgi yes I might do this

allquixotic

@Boris_yo I have one

Burgi

@allquixotic FYI: support.apple.com/…

Boris_yo

@allquixotic What brand? How does it perform in modern games in 1080p? Would you pick 1660 TI over it?

allquixotic

Brand: just OEM AMD, not a particular brand, because I bought it as part of an Apple Developer Kit for Thunderbolt 3 eGPU
Performance: At 1080p60 it'll play modern games just fine. Super high end games like Unreal Engine 4 games will probably have to run on medium detail, but MMOs, etc. can run at max settings no problem and the framerate will be very smooth.
Pick 1660 Ti over it: The 1660 TI is $80 USD more than the RX 580, uses less power and delivers significantly higher performance (see: https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/compare/GeForce-GTX-1660-Ti-vs-Radeon-RX-580/4045vs3736 ) so I'd …

also if you want to go with AMD, wait for Navi to come out on July 7 - they will have a card that's in the price range of the 1660 Ti but will probably be faster

rahuldottech

1:47 PM

@Burgi okay you're right I'm done with this

Boris_yo

Gotcha. Thanks.

Burgi

@rahuldottech did the phonecall not go well?

rahuldottech

@Burgi No I didn't call yet

But holy crap man

I'll text and she'll reply within seconds

But it'll be a one-word answer, so there's no scope to carry the conversation forward?

the epitome of humor

Burgi

call her and ask what is up

Journeyman Geek

2:03 PM

maybe she is just more comfortable with text?

Or is a woman of few words

rahuldottech

@Burgi We've never called before, so I'm not sure if i should do that suddenly

Burgi

you can't really guage a person until you've spoken to them IRL

rahuldottech

@Burgi I have

Burgi

at least for the most part

rahuldottech

We met at a four day course

And spoke lots

That was the end of last month

Burgi

2:05 PM

then she is better with calls

rahuldottech

It's been text ever since

Burgi

trust me

rahuldottech

Okay I'll ask her if she wants to call

Burgi

just call her

@djsmiley2k What are your views on potato chips?

djsmiley2k

normally from above

rahuldottech

@djsmiley2k do you think they're better than french fries?

djsmiley2k

hell no

but i'm presuming you're talking about crisps, not chips.

as I'm not american

rahuldottech

9:17 PM

@djsmiley2k ah, we call them chips here in India

I personally think I might like fries a bit more

djsmiley2k

SO we're talking crisps k.

:d

I don't realy like any traditional crisps

rahuldottech

@djsmiley2k ah okay

@djs what's your favorite cuisine?

djsmiley2k

i eat the rest tho

hmmm Italian i think

but i hate paying at resturants for it

because mst of the time i can do better at home myself

rahuldottech

@djsmiley2k Ah. The only Italian stuff I've had is like pizza and pasta. Although I'm pretty sure the Indian preparations are very different from the originals.

djsmiley2k

pizza and pasta is all you need man

rahuldottech

9:25 PM

@djsmiley2k lol, here in India we don't like to eat too much flour-based stuff. It's not very healthy, apparently

We're more about the atta (wheat) ;P

Similarly, brown bread > white bread

Speaking of which, it's impossible to find brown bread in Bhutan.

djsmiley2k

9:39 PM

I don't really like bread
