Evvy#0001: Check with your mobo's manual or site tho 😎😎#8300: will do Evvy#0001: also if you're worried about it sometimes there's a bios option to have the x16 slot run in x8 mode too 😎😎#8300: hmmmmmmmm 😎😎#8300: could all of this bs maybe caused by a bad ram clock? 😎😎#8300: as dumb as that sounds 😎😎#8300: and i looked on the site and im in right right slot Evvy#0001: idk tbh Evvy#0001: maybe 😎😎#8300: for now i just keep it at 120 😎😎#8300: freesync helps make 120 feel a lot better so idk DarknessFalls229#2286: How does one tell if their gpu is being bottlenecked by pcie bandwidth TheFifthAce#4128: compare to online benchmarks TheGeekster#8508: that... that be an interesting one, what gpu? most of the time it probably won't be unless you're running below x8 slot TheFifthAce#4128: ^

DarknessFalls229#2286: Nope, just started gaming TheFifthAce#4128: keep in mind that the 5830 is worse than a 750 so TheFifthAce#4128: :thonkeyes: DarknessFalls229#2286: Ill test it with the q6600 testbench i guess DarknessFalls229#2286: Must i oc the q6600? TheGeekster#8508: nah the q6600 is more powerful than the j1900 TheGeekster#8508: but it won't really answer the question if the port is bottlenecking the gpu, it's probably the combination of that and the j1900 DarknessFalls229#2286: Wait wdym? DarknessFalls229#2286: The gpu is at 99% though TheGeekster#8508: eh, there's a lot of things that can cause high gpu usage, doesn't mean it's actually being used, there's a lot of different things that could cause it, only way you're gonna figure out what's going on is by benching against others with the gpu DarknessFalls229#2286: What if DarknessFalls229#2286: I throw the 690 in the 1x slot TheGeekster#8508: then i feel like it would be bottlenecked but you could see if framerates increase ShidoPixel#4650: Look what I found in the ground https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/565215329022902283/IMG_20190409_133354.jpg,https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/565215329022902285/IMG_20190409_133334.jpg DarknessFalls229#2286: Gee it scored a grand total of 152cb, as much as a E8400
ShidoPixel#4650: Can someone help ShidoPixel#4650: To find out what this is JustinXenyx#8854: looks odd JustinXenyx#8854: at first glance, i thought it was one of those weird usb hubs with audio and a sd card reader JustinXenyx#8854: but then i saw the display at the top and was like wtf TheFifthAce#4128: bomb :kappa: ShidoPixel#4650: No it's at the bottom JustinXenyx#8854: @ShidoPixel i mean like the first picture ShidoPixel#4650: It has an antenna JustinXenyx#8854: not the actual top ShidoPixel#4650: Yeah ShidoPixel#4650: But this can be dangerous since it has an antenna ShidoPixel#4650: Maybe an wifi antenna JustinXenyx#8854: @DarknessFalls229 the J1900 is baytrail, which in itself is based on haswell afaik JustinXenyx#8854: but yeah, you're not just PCIe bottlenecked, you're also limited by CPU power

DarknessFalls229#2286: Yeah, thats what i figured DarknessFalls229#2286: Hd 5830 is ok Rio#1000: No point having such an efficient cpu and a power succ like the 5830 DarknessFalls229#2286: Well, its an experiment DarknessFalls229#2286: A fun one too DarknessFalls229#2286: Cramming a 16x gpu into a 1x slot Rio#1000: Fair H.Maal or Shrimp13#1804: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/565231549495377920/20190409_203810.jpg H.Maal or Shrimp13#1804: Good price?

Rio#1000: for the name Deleted User#0000: It’s good name yes? Deleted User#0000: I want to boot Linux mint (19 cinnamon) on it, and I already turned on legacy boot, turned off safe boot, etc. but I want to verify that this is safe and won’t break my computer, as I need it for school Evvy#0001: what're you installing linux with Deleted User#0000: A usb Deleted User#0000: I already used unetbootin to make it a bootable usb Evvy#0001: ye that's fine Though, I would make it a portable boot if you have files on your Windows version that are important Evvy#0001: As in, install it to the USB rather than making it bootable Deleted User#0000: Oh ok Deleted User#0000: Thanks Deleted User#0000: I’ll try that Evvy#0001: Er well, you'd still have to make it bootable Deleted User#0000: I want to just trash windows 10 and make mint the default, would that work, or would my laptop burst into flames Evvy#0001: But, ye
It'd be safe to have both installed on the same hard drive or whatever, but sometimes Windows updates might screw with Linux Evvy#0001: Oh, yeah, you can always try to reinstall a new OS Evvy#0001: unless you mess with the BIOS updates, but you can't do that accidentally Deleted User#0000: Ah I see, it’s only 32gb and that’s the thing, I’ve already run dry on space when I barley have anything Deleted User#0000: Ok thanks guys Evvy#0001: ye, just don't ever hit "Flash Bios" when the computer boots up c': tho, it wouldn't help if you just stuck to windows either Deleted User#0000: It says, β€œinvalid or corrupt kernel image” Jamie.Cullen#8363: Rip Jamie.Cullen#8363: Then try using rufus Deleted User#0000: Eh ok Jamie.Cullen#8363: Or a different Linux version Deleted User#0000: Sounds good, now I have to go through that process again Deleted User#0000: Will all the drivers work, like the WiFi and stuff Jamie.Cullen#8363: Depends on the Linux version really
Jamie.Cullen#8363: But I've never had a problem with drivers Deleted User#0000: Alright thanks mate, I’ll work on that, and Jesus it’s late in my area Evvy#0001: Lubuntu is a good linux version Evvy#0001: it's 3:47 AM for me c': g'night Abe.#3344: Would you guys says an XFX RX580 XXX 4gb used is worth it for Β£80? It was "used for mining but kept in good condition" Rio#1000: thats alright Rio#1000: mining doesnt harm gpus nearly as much as its made out to Evvy#0001: it's not a great deal since you can get the 8gb one un-mined for about 15-25 more, but it's alright Evvy#0001: oh, shit, euros Evvy#0001: uhhhhhh Rio#1000: pounds Evvy#0001: no u Jamie.Cullen#8363: Ubuntu has had a nice overhaul thatubuntuguy#5914: @Deleted User i'd suggest using rufus to burn the iso but whatever suits you. thatubuntuguy#5914: installing mint won't blow up your laptop
thatubuntuguy#5914: it'll be fine. make sure any important data is saved obvs Budget#8265: **Fellas I will now refer you to the new rules** 1. If you havent googled it, try that first 2. If you dont listen dont expect help, try what people say, if you dont youre only trying their patience 3. Install Gentoo 4. Repeat Budget#8265: Pinned a message. kittycat959#2895: Gentoo time :RginHd: SussyBalls#4615: Well time to use rule 1 to find out what rule 3 is :GWmythicalThonkCool: MythologicalZ#3752: Install steamos SussyBalls#4615: :Hahahahaha:
kittycat959#2895: if steam os had steamplay out of the gate it may have done well Abe.#3344: What do you guys think my next upgrade should be? I have a stock Ryzen 2200g, OCed GTX 960, 8gb of ram and an SSD and HDD. Galilool#3398: gpu MythologicalZ#3752: R5 and a new GPU MythologicalZ#3752: Unless it's a 4Gb 960,that should be alright for a bit more Abe.#3344: @MythologicalZ Yeah, but which first? It's a 2gb 960. JustinXenyx#8854: @Abe. first CPU, then GPU, then RAM in my opinion Abe.#3344: So I should go with like a R5 1600? Abe.#3344: And then an RX580? Abe.#3344: My estimated revenue for rn is Β£28 a week... So it's gonna take F O R E V E R for anything lol JustinXenyx#8854: @Abe. yup JustinXenyx#8854: R5 1600 is probably gonna take a month or so with 28 quid a week "earnings" Abe.#3344: I could probably edit more videos in a week, but I have no time with exams and stuff Abe.#3344: @JustinXenyx If I got a Wraith max or a Hyper 212 and overclocked the 2200g, would it be worth getting the RX580 then? Evvy#0001: you're only charging 28 quid to edit?
how long are the videos lol JustinXenyx#8854: no @Abe. JustinXenyx#8854: 4 cores are the bare minimum now Evvy#0001: Save up an extra week and get a R7 1700 if you're doing video editing on that pc JustinXenyx#8854: ^ JustinXenyx#8854: the price difference between a R5 1600 and a R7 1700 is not that huge Evvy#0001: 10 bucks a core :haha: Abe.#3344: I don't really care about render time if I'm being honest, I have a friend with a server who does that for me for like Β£5 a month, he has a Threadripper so it's much faster than what i'm going to get XD Abe.#3344: And it isn't Β£28 a video, its Β£7 per video and I get like 4 a week MythologicalZ#3752: @Abe. What Justin said Evvy#0001: o u c h Evvy#0001: How heckin' long are those videos Abe.#3344: Guys I think messed up my GPU Abe.#3344: With MSI Afterburner Abe.#3344: I increased the clock significantly but now it's saying that it is severely underclocked but the temps are high as shite with fans at 45%
Abe.#3344: As in Max 56 while idle Evvy#0001: Did you change the fan curve TheFifthAce#4128: @Abe. hyper 212 isnt am4 compatible Abe.#3344: Really? Abe.#3344: I swear I searched it JustinXenyx#8854: nah, he's technically right JustinXenyx#8854: the 212 Evo doesnt support it, but the 212X does JustinXenyx#8854: but, the 212 Evo has a flexible mounting bracket, meaning if you have a backplate you could also mount it on AM4 in theory flyingsky#4474: streaming requments my friend say at 8 gb gonna lag so much ? is that true ? flyingsky#4474: @Tech Helper Jamie.Cullen#8363: Be more specific Deinsti#5907: Depends what game he wants to stream Jamie.Cullen#8363: Yeah but like is he talking about system ram or GPU memory Jamie.Cullen#8363: Like he needs to follow the updated rules tbh JustinXenyx#8854: 8GB of RAM for streaming ALONE is more than fine, but if you want to stream and do something else with the same rig you're pretty much screwed
Jamie.Cullen#8363: @flyingsky flyingsky#4474: screwed ? JustinXenyx#8854: you're pretty much fucked is what it means lol flyingsky#4474: idk what does mnean Jamie.Cullen#8363: You won't be able to stream Jamie.Cullen#8363: And do something else Jamie.Cullen#8363: On 8GB Jamie.Cullen#8363: Comprende? flyingsky#4474: so it does not work with 8 gb ram with stream ? Jamie.Cullen#8363: It does flyingsky#4474: ram ddr3 Jamie.Cullen#8363: But it depends on the game flyingsky#4474: lag ? JustinXenyx#8854: It works, but it you will quickly run out of RAM if you try to do something a bit more intensive at the same time JustinXenyx#8854: Lag/Delay is dependant on how fast your CPU/GPU can encode the video and if your internet connection can send it fast enough
flyingsky#4474: ok Jamie.Cullen#8363: @flyingsky you need to Google these things first before just turning to us did you not see the updated rules JustinXenyx#8854: @Jamie.Cullen i mean, that question is kind of shit to google by itself JustinXenyx#8854: you won't get a proper answer from googling that flyingsky#4474: ok TheFifthAce#4128: @JustinXenyx I'm just gonna sell the i5 system for 250 JustinXenyx#8854: @TheFifthAce holy shit, is the case made out of gold? :Hahahahaha: TheFifthAce#4128: I'd feel too bad asking 350$ for it TheFifthAce#4128: :thonk: JustinXenyx#8854: jk, its the i5 1151 system, isnt it?

JustinXenyx#8854: i was trying to stick as close to the original budget as possible thatubuntuguy#5914: tbh a used 570 is possible thatubuntuguy#5914: it'd make it a lot easier JustinXenyx#8854: yeah, it would also keep the price at like 380-390 quid if only the GPU is used Deleted User#0000: What's the budget, and what're you doing with it? I'm only just not paying attention lol TheFifthAce#4128: I'd spend the extra 40 for 2x8 instead of 2x4 tbh thatubuntuguy#5914: for a friend JustinXenyx#8854: @Deleted User 400 quid, gaming rig i'd assume thatubuntuguy#5914: he said Β£350-400 but i can pay more if its worth it Deleted User#0000: *cracks knuckles* Deleted User#0000: I got this TheFifthAce#4128: or a used 47 TheFifthAce#4128: 470 TheFifthAce#4128: Even cheaper thatubuntuguy#5914: basically same card too

Why not get a 4x2gb kit so you get the latency advantage of dual channel? Actual RAM usage is never reported correctly in Windows, anyway. When you see, "usage", spikes, that's just how much an app is saying it needs, just in case.

TheFifthAce#4128: @Deleted User can you not suggest absolute dogshit motherboards TheFifthAce#4128: thansk TheFifthAce#4128: doesnt matter if its cheap if the board dies lmaoo Deleted User#0000: I have the board. VRM's are the same from the X370-F, cut down because it's not a massively overclocking-centric board Deleted User#0000: :Hahahahaha: TheFifthAce#4128: literally no vrm heatsinks and bad vrms TheFifthAce#4128: :grr: TheFifthAce#4128: just get a used b350 for cheaper Deleted User#0000: VRM, like I said, uses the exact same chokes and FETs from the X370-F. VEM's are fine, and the board isn't overclocking-centric. The problem is that buying the B350 versions are more expensive kek Deleted User#0000: @TheFifthAce what I'm trying to do is build a system that's both pretty and performs well. Those FETs and other things around the VRM, like the switches, don't start getting affected until you reach 125c, and he's not going to be getting them anywhere near that, since he's new, and probably wants to get the most out of the system for the longest time possible, so mild overclocking would be tolerable, especially since the things are rated for 5000 hours at 125c, anyway, which is nearly 250 days of continuous load. I mean sure, I could pick this...https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gigabyte-GA-AB350M-Gaming-3-AM4-AMD-B350-DDR4-mATX-Motherboard/152987492660?epid=2256046038&hash=item239ec3e134:g:42IAAOSw2Yta1mkT Deleted User#0000: But it ruins the theme, has a confusing-as-shit BIOS, and doesn't have any better rated of a VRM TheFifthAce#4128: gigabyte made awful b350s
Deleted User#0000: And most other mATX B350 boards are either too expensive, or don't have VRM heatsinks, so, want a more expensive build that'll break the budget even more, and set him back on other things he needs the money for, or not OC the system?

Bad companies can make nice things TheFifthAce#4128: so then yes, you do, in fact, have a vendetta against asrock JustinXenyx#8854: wait, so you hate ASrock but are fine with ASus? TheFifthAce#4128: ^^^^ Deleted User#0000: Not really. I only like Asus for their easy-to-use BIOS, that's about it. JustinXenyx#8854: do you know where ASrock originated? TheGeekster#8508: A Sexy Rock right? JustinXenyx#8854: @TheGeekster definitely Deleted User#0000: Genuinely don't care where it came from. I don't think it matters. I never said I like Asus JustinXenyx#8854: don't you see it? ASrock, ASus?
Deleted User#0000: Still not caring. Never said I liked Asus Deleted User#0000: What point are you making JustinXenyx#8854: You're recommending a Asus board, while you think the ASrock board is garbage JustinXenyx#8854: when quality wise they are pretty much the same TheFifthAce#4128: the main difference being you can actually hold an overclock on a pro4 without popping the vrms Deleted User#0000: I'm recommending something that doesn't break the budget, and already said the build I was making was more to retain a specific theme. I never said I preferred a certain brand, and don't like Asus, at all. Their RMA department is shit, and lower end boards, or mainstream boards, aren't amazing. Deleted User#0000: Me saying, "ASRock sucks," doesn't mean, "Asus doesn't suck" JustinXenyx#8854: BTW, that VRM wasnt designed for the X370-F, it was designed for the B350 boards and then put on the X370 board Deleted User#0000: I even suggested a Gigabyte board a bit ago, you moron TheFifthAce#4128: gigabyte is worse Deleted User#0000: It is. Their BIOS is crap. VRMs tend to be alright, but it doesn't fit the theme Heretic#2498: Intel branded boards are the only ones i'll buy for AMD systems TheGeekster#8508: OEM Boards provide stability, love, and they fit with any build due to the green PCB and often unusually coloured and proprietary connectors DarknessFalls229#2286: yeah, ask techo, hes got one of them bad boys custom looped
Thomas Callaghan#6969: :magikHAHA: JustinXenyx#8854: @DarknessFalls229 which one lol DarknessFalls229#2286: dunno, but hes got custom water cooling on a locked chipset and non k cpu i think Thomas Callaghan#6969: most Intel boards are fine for a cheapo build Thomas Callaghan#6969: ahem thatubuntuguy#5914: dead dq67ow hours Thomas Callaghan#6969: OW Thomas Callaghan#6969: very cool thatubuntuguy#5914: exchanged my broken intel pos for another working intel pos Thomas Callaghan#6969: they're under 30 quid a pop thatubuntuguy#5914: which i will promptly resell on ebay for Β£99 thatubuntuguy#5914: like i said some twat will buy it Deleted User#0000: @thatubuntuguy look at the listings I sent you thatubuntuguy#5914: @Deleted User ryzen wants fast ram? JustinXenyx#8854: he used 3000mhz ram in most lists afaik
Deleted User#0000: It does, it likes RAM up to around 3200mhz on 1st gen. Past that is starts having problems. LPX DIMMs usually OC pretty well thatubuntuguy#5914: okay thatubuntuguy#5914: that sure beats Β£50 for a 8gb kit Deleted User#0000: @JustinXenyx I sent him a couple listings for slower but DAMN cheap LPX DDR4 kits Deleted User#0000: This is the list I've got Deleted User#0000: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/NYwjzY Deleted User#0000: The RX 450 can be substituted for a 570, or any other 480. It's just a general idea of what you might be able to find one for cheap. Deleted User#0000: Keeping it blck would be a better idea, for the theme Abe.#3344: Uh I know it's kinda late, but the Asrock B450 pro4 is semi decent, apart from severe ram issues in A1 and B1 ( That might just be my board) it's actually pretty good, though, the BIOS could be better. Alcyone#2233: no proper soc voltage control and no LLC makes it pretty weak at overclocking but if you want plug and play or just mild overclocking its solid @Abe. most boards use slots 2+4 for 2 dimm. or are you having issues with all 4 populated Abe.#3344: Nah, when I first built it, I accidentally plugged in my 2 dimms into A1 and B1 and XMP just didn't work. Couldn't go over 2400mhz no matter what (even went to increasing voltage to 1.4, it's normally 1.35 and that's pretty high). Switched the slots to A2 and B2 and boom, XMP worked at 3000mhz and I managed to push it to 3200mhz. Abe.#3344: I think the ram slots are just screwed in my board, but I CBA to get it replaced because then I'm PC less for a while. Unless something else stops working, I'm not sending it back. Abe.#3344: When Ryzen 3000 comes out, I'm planning on getting the 3300 if leaks are correct (6c/12t for Β£80 at 4ghz). If the leaks are true, it's an absolute steal.
Abe.#3344: If it stops working then I'll get it fixed XD TheGeekster#8508: XMP is a flawed technology, don't rely on it, it can cause more issues than it's worth sometimes Alcyone#2233: @Abe. thats normal for a daisy chain trace config. Abe.#3344: Β―\_(ツ)_/Β― Abe.#3344: I had to figure that out all on my own because there is nothing on the internet about it Abe.#3344: I was told that it's really extreme for that to happen at that level though, even with XMP off, I couldn't push it over 2400mhz no matter what Alcyone#2233: It's because traces in the mobo hold capacitance. manual is pretty cryptic for the pro4. 1 dimm would go in a2, 2 dimm in a2+b2 https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/566011955815383076/unknown.png TheFifthAce#4128: yes TheFifthAce#4128: thats what I had to do Rio#1000: >tuf b350 Rio#1000: next Rio#1000: also >barracuda Rio#1000: the tuf b450 is the bare minimum, and its the b350 with better stages Rio#1000: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/qF2ZMZ Rio#1000: cheaps on case, but you get a better mobo and hdd
Jamie.Cullen#8363: Nice I have it on my laptop taptapking#6216: my rx 470 and 480 are confusing me taptapking#6216: so I have an rx 470 card (because the label states so, and so does the bios) taptapking#6216: but it has 570's device id taptapking#6216: when I flash an 570 bios to it, It works fine taptapking#6216: but not my 480 taptapking#6216: after flashing an 580 bios to it, it took 10 tries to post taptapking#6216: and after posting, it works correctly taptapking#6216: (my 480 has the correct device id for an regular 480) taptapking#6216: (my 480 is HIS Roaring, 470 is Powercolor red dragon) taptapking#6216: anyone knows what's going on? Rio#1000: aight Rio#1000: for the 480 Rio#1000: did you flash a matching model's vbios? Rio#1000: and how did you go about the flash
taptapking#6216: I downloaded an bios for HIS 580 taptapking#6216: I had to force flash by atiflash cmd Rio#1000: a his 580 yes, but is it a his 580 roaring or a different model? Rio#1000: it can make all the difference if it doesnt support the vram 100% or smth taptapking#6216: i downloaded an his 580 iceq x2 8gb bios taptapking#6216: not an his 580 roaring 8gb bios because i can't find it Rio#1000: where from?

Rio#1000: oh Rio#1000: yeah its probably a dodgy vbios taptapking#6216: luckily my card has dual bios
taptapking#6216: so bios 1 is the original 480 bios and bios 2 is my modded 480 bios which has 580's clock speed The Truth#4559: He made a video about the Intel pentium R, didn't he? JegKompletson#3381: Can someone suggest an extremely cheap CPU which is still good enough because I live in a freaking third-world country? MythologicalZ#3752: What socket and what price? MythologicalZ#3752: Because otherwise I suggest a Pentium 4 or some shit Rio#1000: core 2 duo is usable enough Rio#1000: its not ideal, but you can find them cheap almost everywhere in prebuilt systems and theyre fine for basic tasks Deinsti#5907: For W10 I would recommend core 2 quad at least JustinXenyx#8854: @JegKompletson "extremely cheap" is relative JustinXenyx#8854: give us a budget lol JegKompletson#3381: Okay, so I know almost nothing about these things, but I use my PC for gaming and graphic design. I have been recommended the AMD Ryzen 5 2600X by some other guy off the internet. What do you guys think? MythologicalZ#3752: 2600x is decent,would rather get a 2600 though and just make up the difference with an OC JegKompletson#3381: Anything else you would recommend other than that? JustinXenyx#8854: RYZEN? I thought it was supposed to be "extremely cheap" JegKompletson#3381: $189.99 definitely seems cheaper seeing the other options though.
TheFifthAce#4128: @JegKompletson when you say cheap and third world our mind goes to 20$ lol TheFifthAce#4128: ryzen 5 2600 is great, itll run any game you throw at it, assuming you have a decent gpu Evvy#0001: ye Evvy#0001: Or cheapo a bit more and go with a 1700 There's been loads of sales for under $150 lately Evvy#0001: +2 cores too c': Just a lower clock speed and less new features TheFifthAce#4128: @Evvy 1700 is a bit unnecessary, it won't improve gaming performance Evvy#0001: but cheep tho TheFifthAce#4128: go for a 1600 then TheFifthAce#4128: :ThonkPlant: Evvy#0001: b-but Evvy#0001: sure Smug space wizard#7829: Anyone here that feel comfortable in their Linux know-how that would be happy to give a recommendation on a particular question? Jamie.Cullen#8363: Just fire away and someone will answer
Smug space wizard#7829: Fair enough. I'm looking for a Linux distro mainly for troubleshooting and to be used mainly as a live CD (USB) I want to have all necessary tools from the getgo, and once in a blue moon be used as a installation media in case it's the only flashdrive I have on me Deleted User#0000: having a little trouble with a lga755 Foxconn motherboard Deleted User#0000: it says it supports 4GB of ddr2 but don’t seem to get a signal when 4GB is Install but do when I install a single 1gb dim Deleted User#0000: any ideas on what’s causing this ? JustinXenyx#8854: how many ram slots does it have? Deleted User#0000: 2 MythologicalZ#3752: Are you installing a single 4GB stick? Deleted User#0000: no, 2x 2gb sticks MythologicalZ#3752: Hmm,they on the QVL? Deleted User#0000: QVL ? JustinXenyx#8854: Qualified Vendor List i think JustinXenyx#8854: but its a OEM board, so you're unlikely to find that lol Deleted User#0000: yeah I’ve struggled to find much info about it Deleted User#0000: tried reseating the cmos Deleted User#0000: and was going to doing either a bios flash or update but I’m inexperienced in updating and flashing bios
Deleted User#0000: @JustinXenyx just tried to find a QVL, couldnt find it hotmale420360#3948: whats the board model? taptapking#6216: for some reasons my rx 470 thermal throttle (85 degree when full load) when running on 470 bios overclocked to 570 clock but it doesn't thermal throttle (75 degree when full load) when running on 570 bios taptapking#6216: anyone know what's going on? Rio#1000: voltage probably taptapking#6216: btw does 80 degree full load normal for rx 570? MythologicalZ#3752: Doesn't seem that bad MythologicalZ#3752: My XFX 570 maxes about 75 on auto fan speeds taptapking#6216: my powercolor 470 with 570 bios is screaming at 96% fan speed MythologicalZ#3752: Ouch taptapking#6216: (I used RoTTR's main menu to stress the card) taptapking#6216: meanwhile my his 480 oc'd to 1366 core has load temp of 61-62 degree MythologicalZ#3752: Probably because it's on a 480 BIOS taptapking#6216: I did try flashing my 470 back to its original bios and it has even worse temp (85 degree on full load) MythologicalZ#3752: You sure your TP is alright and that your cooler is making proper contact?
taptapking#6216: I touched the cooler during load and I could feel the heat Xènius#8267: Kinda random but I don't know where to ask this any on have luck fixing up broken consoles and handhelds from eBay want to give me some pointers on buying things Tinybox#9112: So a guy selling a 1070 for 65 bucks, as "defective" in his listing he's saying he bought it and tried to power it with a molex adapter. Tinybox#9112: No reaction Tinybox#9112: worth a go? Tinybox#9112: note that the 1070 ONLY has, 1 8 pin Tinybox#9112: (molex adapter has Molex 2x, so 72 Watts) Tinybox#9112: 72+75, even below TDP Tinybox#9112: And since hes saying his PSU doesn't have a single 8 pin, what is hard to belive.. Tinybox#9112: (and him instead of buying a new psu, selling his 1070) Tinybox#9112: Think it's a good go? Tinybox#9112: p.s thomas if u check this out how did the 980ti go? "Cobs"#1150: tom hasn't done is 980ti yet "Cobs"#1150: you could do, does he say if he bought it second hand?
"Cobs"#1150: if the fans don't spin when he tries to power it, its probably fucked Tinybox#9112: All he says the seller said it might be because of his PSU, so I'd assume so Tinybox#9112: @"Cobs" ill ask him "Cobs"#1150: ok Alcyone#2233: I would assume a $65 1070 is dead Tinybox#9112: @Alcyone He said the PC was running a lil bit and then turned off, and he couldn't tell if the fans were spinning Rio#1000: theres two possibilities Alcyone#2233: I'm with your original suspicions of why someone would just say "oh well I'll sell it for 1/4 of its value". Rio#1000: 1: boom 2: it shut off to prevent boom and its fine Rio#1000: 3: hes full of shit Alcyone#2233: obviously not a wealthy individual if they cant afford a proper psu. So I would think the lost money would make a difference and they would have attempted other means to get the card functioning Alcyone#2233: Like the untested items on ebay. We tested it and it didnt work, so we "untested" it and put it on ebay Rio#1000: ive gambled on one untested item
Rio#1000: it paid off Tinybox#9112: I think I won't go for it, even tho it's a STRIX. Tinybox#9112: asked him "was there a picture then, if the PC was running for a short amunt" he said no screen. And the cooler cant make back the value Xènius#8267: Mean even if he's honest still a good chance the gpu got messed up Tinybox#9112: The most suspicious thing for me is, Tinybox#9112: So he would sell his 1070 that he probably bought for 250 STRIX used. Tried it with his 10 buck psu. .Doesn't work. "Seller says its his PSU" Instead of buying a new psu, sells GTX 1070 for less than 1/4 of what he bought it for??! Xènius#8267: Yah they probably broke of found a broken one just trying to scam some one and flip it Jamie.Cullen#8363: Need some help deciding what to do with getting a new laptop Evvy#0001: do heatsinks actually matter on ram if you're not overclocking it
Jamie.Cullen#8363: No Jamie.Cullen#8363: I havent overclocked mine Evvy#0001: Oh I was asking for myself lol, not with your new laptop wapted#6788: derp sorry, didnt see it was for ram wapted#6788: no doesnt rlly matter wapted#6788: just general case airflow is enough, even with overclocked modules Jamie.Cullen#8363: I have a surface 3 Jamie.Cullen#8363: but the screen is broken Jamie.Cullen#8363: Do i get it fixed or a new laptop? wapted#6788: Laptop choice depends on your needs, portability, application wise etc? Jamie.Cullen#8363: Need it for computing course in college wapted#6788: is that with the atom? Jamie.Cullen#8363: ?? Evvy#0001: atom CPU Jamie.Cullen#8363: I'm 99% sure surface 3 doesnt come with an atom
Jamie.Cullen#8363: mine has an i3 Jamie.Cullen#8363: pretty sure Jamie.Cullen#8363: else its an i5 Xènius#8267: If you're not over clocking ram then it dosnt matter but 8d get 9ne with a heat sink if you were Jamie.Cullen#8363: its an i5 Jam#0384: I love getting told my GTX 1080 is low end and cannot run modern games Jam#0384: :Hahahahaha: Jam#0384: im pretty sure it can still do 4K 30fps high in tons of games Jam#0384: I prefer 1440p 60+fps or 1080p though. Evvy#0001: pf Evvy#0001: some dude laughed at me for wanting to render videos with a vega 56 Jam#0384: Vega 56 is still at LEAST upper midrange Evvy#0001: yee Jam#0384: Personally, I'd consider it lower highend but that's just because of the way I look at things. JustinXenyx#8854: I love getting told my GTX 660 is low end and cannot run modern games
:Hahahahaha: im pretty sure it can still do 720p 30fps high in tons of games I prefer 480p 60+fps or 360p though. Evvy#0001: I could buy two 56's for the price of their shiddy 1080ti c': Jam#0384: RTX 2080Ti performance is Enthusiast, where RTX 2080, 2070, GTX 1080/Ti, Radeon 7, 1070Ti , Vega 64, Vega FE, Vega 56, 1070 are all high end Jam#0384: And 980/ 1060 6GB/ RX 570/ etc performance is still midrange Evvy#0001: yee Alcyone#2233: I played fo4 at 1280x800 40-60 fps on a gtx 560 and 4gb 1333. ram was holding it back worse than the gpu was https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/566736696939511808/4gb_dram_fo4.jpg Saix856#2556: What would you say is the best gpu used under $60? TheFifthAce#4128: rx 470 Evvy#0001: gt710 c: Xènius#8267: I mean 1080p x 16 antialised is practically 4k when a lot 9f games don't have 4k textures and junk anyway SanteRaptor#2609: So half a year ago i built a 775 pc but the psu seemingly blew causing a burning smell to come from that brown spot on the board after i left the pc on for 1 and a half hours after installing an ssd in the system. At no point did the system turn off alone before it was unplugged. The psu is now lobg gone and I have a new one. So my question is is this board usable anymore or has it been ruined by that brown spot? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/566906469467815946/IMG_20190414_113817.jpg
SanteRaptor#2609: One possible other reason that was thrown around was that the....southbridge(?) couldnt take the ssd SanteRaptor#2609: As the PC had been working perfectly before it was installed for days SanteRaptor#2609: Only reason Im asking this are that Ive run out of 775 boards, that board uses ddr3, and that it was my first ever 775 board SanteRaptor#2609: @Tech Helper Im sorry JustinXenyx#8854: @SanteRaptor Depending on what kind of damage the PSU has done it either is still fine or ready for the bin SanteRaptor#2609: I have never seen an answer as neutral as that one Evvy#0001: I mean if it blows up again it won't matter Deinsti#5907: The old PSU is gone Evvy#0001: yes Deinsti#5907: But yes, it depends what damage has been done beforehand JustinXenyx#8854: I mean, if you're really unlucky it also could be that the motherboard caused that explosion and the PSU was not at fault Evvy#0001: Ye, but the new psu wouldn't blow up
Evvy#0001: ~~right?~~ SanteRaptor#2609: All the damage it did was burn some of the surface on that single spot of copper JustinXenyx#8854: Thats visual damage though JustinXenyx#8854: What about the potential damage thats not visible? SanteRaptor#2609: There were no artifacts on the video output, it didnt crash in win 7, so Im not sure what kind of damage you mean JustinXenyx#8854: Something must've caused this. Either it was the fault of the PSU or it was related due to failing components on the motherboard that let to this SanteRaptor#2609: So the SSD thing is off the table? JustinXenyx#8854: nope, a SSD is not able to cause that kind of damage Deinsti#5907: SSD's and even HDD's cannot pull enough power to cause so much damage SanteRaptor#2609: How much heat does celeron d make? Deinsti#5907: Which model? Deinsti#5907: @SanteRaptor Celeron D's use between 73W and 84W so as it's P4 cousin it can run quite hot SanteRaptor#2609: Okay, i did a test SanteRaptor#2609: OH SanteRaptor#2609: I think I made a mistake
JustinXenyx#8854: @Deinsti They don't use that, TDP is just a measurement of heat output lol Deinsti#5907: Under full load Deinsti#5907: Though also considering it's NetBurst and those are notoriously hot regardless Evvy#0001: heat output is still important tho JustinXenyx#8854: but heat output ain't power consumption @Evvy Evvy#0001: ye JustinXenyx#8854: i'd bet it goes even over 85W power consumption under a full load btw Deinsti#5907: But depending on how much power the CPU takes also factors how much heat it can output Evvy#0001: it bothers me how hidden power consumption is with cpus c': Deinsti#5907: @JustinXenyx I mean, is there anything else than can determine how much power it uses? JustinXenyx#8854: I can see why they don't put it on a spec sheet, because its not that easy to define @Evvy Deinsti#5907: Unless directly monitoring the cpu itself JustinXenyx#8854: @Deinsti Realistically, only real-world tests Deinsti#5907: Exactly SanteRaptor#2609: New test result:
Evvy#0001: tru Deinsti#5907: So without the cpu, the TDP is your best bet sadly SanteRaptor#2609: It turned on and got to keyboard error screen with a PCIe dvi adapter card JustinXenyx#8854: I mean, as a safe measure, when i don't know the power consumption, i use the TDP as a baseline and add like 40-50W to it (depending on the chip) to get a worst case scenario on stock use Deinsti#5907: For worst case scenario true I guess Deinsti#5907: Though also really bearing in mind that unless it's a workstation the computer won't be constantly working under max load SanteRaptor#2609: Okay SanteRaptor#2609: Time fort SanteRaptor#2609: The first full system boot SanteRaptor#2609: Wish me luck SanteRaptor#2609: Theos on the hdd is fecked SanteRaptor#2609: Uodate on update SanteRaptor#2609: The connector on the hdd broke off SanteRaptor#2609: Rip SanteRaptor#2609: Motherfucker tried to boot from ethernet
SanteRaptor#2609: Usb hdd somehow works SanteRaptor#2609: What a weird pile of arse this is SanteRaptor#2609: @Tech Helper for how long should i let this thing run debian for to confirm its functioning and not fucked in some way? SanteRaptor#2609: It doesn't smell like an electrical fire SanteRaptor#2609: So id say this is a success SanteRaptor#2609: Hooray!

Cause everytime i quit to desktop the HDD usage blow up to 100% usage.. Deinsti#5907: @!Gerbs! I have an iMac G3 so I can help out TheGeekster#8508: HDD usage? or do you mean RAM usage? @SuSSudio Deinsti#5907: @TheGeekster RAM Deinsti#5907: Cause he means it probably pushes out a lot of Windows components out of RAM which it then reloads when the game is closed Deinsti#5907: Hence max HDD usage TheGeekster#8508: i... i mean... if he has 4gb of ram of less, maybe, that's a bit of a stretch tho πŸ˜‚ Deinsti#5907: He might do
Deinsti#5907: Windows 10 is especially RAM hungry TheFifthAce#4128: @SuSSudio csgo doesnt unload the map until you leave the game TheFifthAce#4128: That's why going from game to title screen is basically lag free TheFifthAce#4128: Compared to other games where leaving a server or game it will stutter as it unloads the map SuSSudio#2688: AHH @TheFifthAce 's really clears it up.. Thx for the explanation! TheFifthAce#4128: at least, that's the only reasonable explanation SuSSudio#2688: It was part of my question too on why CSGO seems to run smoothly even with only 4GB of RAM TheFifthAce#4128: csgo doesn't actually use much ram simply because it uses a mixture of low res textures and texture streamimg TheFifthAce#4128: If you aren't looking at an area, textures are lowest possible res or unloaded if cpu is fast enough SuSSudio#2688: Mmm i see TheFifthAce#4128: ever noticed how the game doesnt change fps too noticeably, even on big maps, even when going inside to outside? TheFifthAce#4128: thats why SuSSudio#2688: It is TheFifthAce#4128: its what really helped make it a great reports game TheFifthAce#4128: esports
TheFifthAce#4128: you can run it on a fuckin 5$ k2000 from 8 years ago TheFifthAce#4128: even now when its super bloated SuSSudio#2688: The game engine is really well built if it's true, and yeah i'm still running on a C2Q Q9400 + Radeon HD4670 TheFifthAce#4128: Doesnt surprise me SuSSudio#2688: Still floats around 100fps on everything low & 1366x768 TheFifthAce#4128: mhm SuSSudio#2688: Except when playing with bots, bunch of them TheFifthAce#4128: You could get a k2000 and bump res up to 1080p low TheFifthAce#4128: I find k2000s in the dump all the time SuSSudio#2688: Quadros aren't really common in my country... TheFifthAce#4128: ah fair TheFifthAce#4128: r5 240? TheFifthAce#4128: hd 8490? SuSSudio#2688: R7 240 is very common SuSSudio#2688: The 1GB variant is really cheap
TheFifthAce#4128: r7 240 is solid depending on the price TheFifthAce#4128: and on low settings it won't even use all the vram SuSSudio#2688: Well yeah but i'm not going to play Esports game only... TheFifthAce#4128: should I bother with windows 10 on an a6 6400k or move straight to linux TheFifthAce#4128: dual core piledriver without smt TheFifthAce#4128: basically a pentium with an igpu SussyBalls#4615: Since when did the Radeon VII ship with this stand?

EVGA says the BIOS the card shipped with are legacy and should work, yet the card won't which leads me to believe that the card has been flashed to UEFI at some point. DarknessFalls229#2286: @Flannel84 I think you can find a bios on techpowerup, just search gt 640 bios. And usually one uses NVFlash to flash a new bios to nvidia cards, with the program you can check your current bios and save it for a backup aswell DarknessFalls229#2286: Only disadvantage is that you need to use command prompt to fully use nvflash Flannel84#2980: https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/130178/evga-gt640-2048-120511 like this? And how hard is it for a novice/someone just starting? DarknessFalls229#2286: It takes a bit to figure out nvflash, i recommend watching a few tutorials DarknessFalls229#2286: @Flannel84 What it comes down to is going to your nvflash map in command prompt using cd x/y/z/nvflash. Then you have to use commands like nvflash64 --save, nvflash64 --index=0 -6 gt640.rom, nvflash64 --protectoff DarknessFalls229#2286: Typing a wrong command results in the program showing the command list Flannel84#2980: I'll have to verify the bios versions with EVGA first but this seems like my last possibility of getting the card to work if the BIOS were flashed previously DarknessFalls229#2286: Could also just be doa. If theres no visual defect and a bios flash also doesnt do anything then RMA it stickys.party.hat γ€Š^_^》#2076: So i have read that if it is a service specific model you cannot custom rom a phone, i have an at&t model galaxy s4 and i am just curious if this is true or not, i read with the s4 only 2 models are rommable they were like the touchwiz model or some shit any help or info is appreciated JustinXenyx#8854: @stickys.party.hat γ€Š^_^》 Is the bootloader locked on your S4? JustinXenyx#8854: Because it always depends on if your bootloader is locked and if its unlockable
JustinXenyx#8854: @Rio you probably know a bit more than i do on this topic lol thatubuntuguy#5914: fastboot unlock won't work? thatubuntuguy#5914: i know nothing about this dont rely on me Rio#1000: nah you dont use fastboot on s4s Rio#1000: @stickys.party.hat γ€Š^_^》 can you download aida64 and send a screenshot Rio#1000: of the system tab Rio#1000: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/567437304235425812/Screenshot_20190416-055258_AIDA64.jpg Rio#1000: like this Flannel84#2980: @DarknessFalls229 I've popped in a good machine and it produces an input so I know that it's a good card, it just doesn't work in the older system. DarknessFalls229#2286: @Flannel84 Oh. Well that was also a possibility i forgot to consider, but nice to know that it works Flannel84#2980: ya it's odd, a gtx 560ti works, but a gt 640 is no good. Flannel84#2980: I've also tried different powersupplies with it and other junk Deleted User#0000: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/420759591534460939/567455604231372815/image0.jpg Deleted User#0000: I have ONE thing that I need to complete this build Evvy#0001: a power supply

Or without? TheFifthAce#4128: @Tinybox without installef Deleted User#0000: @Tinybox without would be better, but as long as it's packed well enough, it wouldn't be a problem. Deleted User#0000: Several layers of bubble wrap, etc Evvy#0001: Ye, also a piece of carboard between the sticks Evvy#0001: or something to fill the space. Either way if someone doesn't know how to put ram back in they probably shouldn't have a computer c': Propane.Consumer#9830: Does anyone know if the old touch screen pc I have could be converted into almost a secondary monitor that allows for it to be used as almost like a drawing tablet kinda thing?
