DarknessFalls229#2286: >:O TheFifthAce#4128: saved 20$ because they shipped the wrong psu TheFifthAce#4128: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ TheFifthAce#4128: I bought a tx750m and they sent an rm850x nacabaro#2138: the linux TTY @DarknessFalls229 DarknessFalls229#2286: ????? DarknessFalls229#2286: @TheFifthAce Oh, yeah i heard the story, lucky boy got a fully modular refurbished better model instead of what he ordered TheFifthAce#4128: I hate full mod but it is a better unit so DarknessFalls229#2286: you not complainin TheFifthAce#4128: I am complaining TheFifthAce#4128: I wanted tx because semi mod is more reliable DarknessFalls229#2286: then send it back TheFifthAce#4128: I have to pay to send it back, when it was their fuck up DarknessFalls229#2286: ***Make them pay*** TheFifthAce#4128: amazon
TheFifthAce#4128: though I could technically charge back through my bank Rysing Dragoon#5628: Why not keep it? Rysing Dragoon#5628: Get the extra bang for your buck TheFifthAce#4128: I am keeping it TheFifthAce#4128: I just dont like it TheFifthAce#4128: full mod is less reliable JustinXenyx#8854: how exactly is it less reliable than a semi-mod? TheFifthAce#4128: if the 24 pin cable comes slightly unplugged the wrong way 🤢 TheFifthAce#4128: yikes from me buddy TheGeekster#8508: ... slightly... unplugged? Ya know how the cables are built right? with latches and isolating plastic between them? if they were less reliable they wouldn't be sold JustinXenyx#8854: I mean, i'm pretty sure you can fuck that up with ANY modular connector if user error is introduced TheFifthAce#4128: yes JustinXenyx#8854: Does anyone know if there is a program other than GPU-Z that is able to dump a VBIOS? GPU-Z is saying "BIOS reading not supported on this device" and i'm trying to see if that issue is limited to GPU-Z or if i really have to crack the laptop open and look for a VBIOS chip Lady Mipha#0611: @Tech Helper ^ thatubuntuguy#5914: ati or nvidia card
JustinXenyx#8854: ATI, a HD6970M thatubuntuguy#5914: would atiflash not work thatubuntuguy#5914: is that just for flashing bios thatubuntuguy#5914: wait JustinXenyx#8854: Yes, the program called ATI*Flash* is not able to *dump* a VBIOS lol thatubuntuguy#5914: ok lmao thatubuntuguy#5914: apparently there's something called rbe thatubuntuguy#5914: only works on 32bit windows iirc thatubuntuguy#5914: @JustinXenyx JustinXenyx#8854: sadly thats just for VBIOS modding, doesn't seem to have a dumping functionality thatubuntuguy#5914: i did find something thatubuntuguy#5914: if you boot a linux usb stick thatubuntuguy#5914: you can use flashrom -r thatubuntuguy#5914: with the argument "filename" as the output thatubuntuguy#5914: @JustinXenyx
thatubuntuguy#5914: provided that 6970m is supported by flashrom JustinXenyx#8854: I'll have a go at that tomorrow, don't have any USB sticks laying around rn Flannel84#2980: What's the hottest a socket 478 prescott P4 (3.3ghz) should run at? TheFifthAce#4128: 200c :Kappa7: Flannel84#2980: That's a hot one, I think I'm allllllllllllll set then Flannel84#2980: but no, I know they ran hot back in the day, but what was unsafe? 80+? TheFifthAce#4128: who cares, its a p4 TheFifthAce#4128: run it hot and buy another when it dies TheFifthAce#4128: theyre like a cent off ebay Flannel84#2980: Not this one. This is a SL7QB, they are hard as hell to find at any reasonable price because they are one of the few capable of 64-bit OS. The only one on ebay a while ago was priced at 100$ and the cheapest I ever found on the web was for 45$ USD Flannel84#2980: Nothing more then a technological oddity these days, but that draws in money.

Tinybox#9112: 16gb of ram or RX 580 8gb? (if rx 580 8gb, 8GB Ram, if 16gb of ram, rx 580 4gb) SussyBalls#4615: Quite sure the 8gb model struggles to use more than 4 gigs as from what I've seen from benchmarks SussyBalls#4615: https://youtu.be/lAr_Trv78NA DarknessFalls229#2286: Id say rx 580 8gb + 8gb of ram and later down the line upgrade ram as you cant easily upgrade gpu without selling the gpu DarknessFalls229#2286: But for a permanent solution id rather have 16gb + rx 580 4gb JustinXenyx#8854: Compromise. 16GB of ram and a 8GB RX570 JustinXenyx#8854: @Tinybox MythologicalZ#3752: 8GB and a 580 8GB MythologicalZ#3752: RAM is cheap in any case Tinybox#9112: Had to comprimise harder than that.. https://geizhals.de/?cat=WL-1235253 ended up being an entire setup. for 560 euro. Tinybox#9112: let em choose the case. Tinybox#9112: The rest was kinda comprimising hard to at least get something acceptable for 560 MythologicalZ#3752: Wouldn't trust that PSU with a 580
JustinXenyx#8854: I wouldn't trust that PSU period lmao MythologicalZ#3752: yeah MythologicalZ#3752: Thought Gigabyte pulled out of the PSU market years ago Tinybox#9112: this series seems to be a new one from gigabyte.. Tinybox#9112: It has all the safety features I'd expect. At first look it seems decent I guess? JustinXenyx#8854: its 2 years and 2 months old Tinybox#9112: or OK JustinXenyx#8854: Also, the fact that it only has 80Plus for 115V is kinda off-setting in my opinion Tinybox#9112: aight then MythologicalZ#3752: Surprised it even has a 8pin PCIE connector Tinybox#9112: Any recommendations for this super tight budget? MythologicalZ#3752: How much is the budget first off? MythologicalZ#3752: Guessing 550? Tinybox#9112: Alright...
So it's 560e. We got the other stuff sorted, 560-40 (keyboard, mice, Headset) 520-80 (Monitor) 440 euro for the PC (has to include wifi card) Tinybox#9112: Ima look for another PSU Tinybox#9112: Options: (filtered upon 80 plus and up 230V, 400w+) max: 35 1) LC-Power LC6450 V2.2 2) AeroCool Integrator 400W 3) SilverStone Strider Essential Series 400W 4) Cooler Master MasterWatt Lite v2 ------- JustinXenyx#8854: 1 and 2 are fire hazards afaik, not sure about the other 2 psu's Tinybox#9112: I'm only reading good so far from the silverstone essential Tinybox#9112: I cant find anything from the cooler master JustinXenyx#8854: this is what i came up with for a 440€ budget: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/P7XqTB
Tinybox#9112: that SSD doesn't have dram right? MythologicalZ#3752: Don't think it does MythologicalZ#3752: Its more of a games drive but does fine for an OS on a budget JustinXenyx#8854: Don't think the A55 has either, so i went for a SSD that doesn't have a failing controller Tinybox#9112: I know the A55 has Tinybox#9112: I checked it SussyBalls#4615: For that budget you should really consider some second hand parts JustinXenyx#8854: My guess the person he's creating the build for doesn't want used parts for x reasons @SussyBalls JustinXenyx#8854: Totally understandable if its a first rig and/or the person just doesn't have computer knowledge Tinybox#9112: "EvEry tHird UseD thIng has BenN mineD with" Tinybox#9112: Ok anyway.

Or like shit to the point it fails quickly? How shit is the controller? (just name another controller for me) JustinXenyx#8854: Just to name how shitty the controller is, the Phison S11 is the successor of the S10 JustinXenyx#8854: And i think you know how much we complain about that thing Tinybox#9112: Yea, I know.
Tinybox#9112: A second.. Tinybox#9112: @JustinXenyx I've been interessted in this for a while now.. Is 3D nand **actually** better than 2D nand? Tinybox#9112: @MythologicalZ maybe you know this? MythologicalZ#3752: Uhh MythologicalZ#3752: iirc it was bigger storage in a smaller space? MythologicalZ#3752: Probs more power efficient too Tinybox#9112: OK!...is it just that? Or is it like...? um any more? JustinXenyx#8854: Lemme finish typing my paragraph lmao MythologicalZ#3752: Teehee JustinXenyx#8854: 3D NANDs main feature is cell stacking, allowing for higher storage density, more efficient accessing of data and lower power consumption for a higher amount of storage JustinXenyx#8854: Also its somewhat more reliable, because of storage density allowing to cut down on NAND chips that are able to fail Tinybox#9112: gotcha mate Tinybox#9112: seems legit I guess https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/591291663176040475/unknown.png TheFifthAce#4128: justins list is solid

Tinybox#9112: yea JustinXenyx#8854: Haven't heard/had any bad experiences with that controller Tinybox#9112: Alright from what I've been able to dig out of it...is that it's a popular SSD...in asia?

TheFifthAce#4128: 4 of the 6 are doubled TheFifthAce#4128: so its 4 (+2) + 2 Alcyone#2233: doubled 4 phase, ir 3555 mosfets TheFifthAce#4128: at least according to this TheFifthAce#4128: https://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/8137/biostar-x370gt7-motherboard-review/index3.html JustinXenyx#8854: according to this, which has been pretty accurate in the past its a 4+2 phase https://www.hardwareluxx.de/community/f12/pga-am4-mainboard-vrm-liste-1155146.html TheFifthAce#4128: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/591374092809142393/unknown.png TheFifthAce#4128: they're prolly only counting the doubled phases TheFifthAce#4128: which makes sense tbh JustinXenyx#8854: i'd rather say its a doubled 4 phase lol JustinXenyx#8854: The controller can be configured in a 8, 7+1 and 6+2 manner according to Infineon, many boards use the 4+2 configuration though JustinXenyx#8854: They probably say its a 6+2 phase because Infineons documentation states that
JustinXenyx#8854: here's the documentation for the controller btw: https://www.infineon.com/dgdl/Infineon-IR35201MTRPBF-DS-v01_00-EN.pdf?fileId=5546d462576f347501579c95d19772b5 TheFifthAce#4128: so then its a 4 + 2 wtih doublers :luigi_dab: @Tinybox Deleted User#0000: how can I disable nouveau in grub4dos 0.4.4? taptapking#6216: anyone knows how to fix 0x000000f4 blue screen in windows 7 embedded standard? taptapking#6216: it happens after updating windows TheFifthAce#4128: switch to win 10! :ULTRAKEK: TheFifthAce#4128: @JustinXenyx https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/591509783920640025/unknown.png TheFifthAce#4128: my gpu boosts to 835mhz which is normal boost clocks TheFifthAce#4128: but ONLY IN THIS GAME TheFifthAce#4128: ?????

JustinXenyx#8854: Dunno what MSI is on about tho Alcyone#2233: my guess is the gpu has a very low tdp, its cpu bound and not fully stressed or its thermal throttling DarknessFalls229#2286: Okay then, i dont understand why my cpu isnt overclocking DarknessFalls229#2286: Previously i got the 2600k to 4.5ghz but now it wont oc at all DarknessFalls229#2286: Not even above base Tristan#7299: how much volts did you pump into it to get that DarknessFalls229#2286: Like 1.45v, but i was having windows complications so i turned my oc off DarknessFalls229#2286: And unlike my asus motherboards, it doesnt have savestates MythologicalZ#3752: Jesus MythologicalZ#3752: 1.45 for 4.5ghz is terrible MythologicalZ#3752: Especially for a 2600K Tristan#7299: the main thing i would think is that maybe silicon is degraded and the chip is just not OCable anymore but i only ever have OC'd ryzen MythologicalZ#3752: What were your temps? MythologicalZ#3752: You need to be under 75 for pushing Sandy that high with voltage iirc DarknessFalls229#2286: 70C max
DarknessFalls229#2286: But the point isnt what the overclock is then, its why i cant overclock now Tristan#7299: like i said maybe you have silicon degradation and thus it is not a stable OCing chip anymore DarknessFalls229#2286: Yeah, but the pc was off for most of the time Tristan#7299: you could have problems starting from the minute you first run it its highly unlikely that that would happen but it is possible especially with such high voltage DarknessFalls229#2286: What JustinXenyx#8854: dunked VRM? DarknessFalls229#2286: Idk? DarknessFalls229#2286: Like it still pumps 1.45v into the non OCd cpu if i say so DarknessFalls229#2286: And my current temps arent even that bad DarknessFalls229#2286: Like cpuz is saying that it has a mylulti from 16 to 39, but never goes above 34 DarknessFalls229#2286: Is it because i updated the chipset drivers? JustinXenyx#8854: i think thats the last thing that would cause that lmao DarknessFalls229#2286: Well DarknessFalls229#2286: I got it? DarknessFalls229#2286: It now does a whopping 3.5ghz
DarknessFalls229#2286: So erm, what should listen to? CPU VCORE: 1.368v or VID: 1.271v. As reported by HWM DarknessFalls229#2286: I think the bios isnt updating properly when changing oc settings, enableing and disableing HT seems to do the trick DarknessFalls229#2286: 771cb 1.42v VID DarknessFalls229#2286: @MythologicalZ @JustinXenyx is that good? DarknessFalls229#2286: REALTIME run did 794cb DarknessFalls229#2286: Woop JustinXenyx#8854: 800CB is fine for a overclocked 2600k JustinXenyx#8854: My 2960XM (pretty much a stock 2600 in a laptop) runs about 600CB DarknessFalls229#2286: Should i push to 5ghz? DarknessFalls229#2286: Or maybe i should stop and just sell the thing at this oc? DarknessFalls229#2286: I decided to stop, 800cb is more than acceptable JustinXenyx#8854: i'd stick it at 800cb/4.7Ghz DarknessFalls229#2286: 4.7? DarknessFalls229#2286: Im getting 796cb @4.5GHz JustinXenyx#8854: wait
JustinXenyx#8854: i thought you were at 4.7 JustinXenyx#8854: its fine either way, sooo DarknessFalls229#2286: Yeah Alcyone#2233: @DarknessFalls229 vcore, vid is meaningless unless you are using offset Alcyone#2233: vid=processor voltage request vcore= what is being supplied DarknessFalls229#2286: well vcore was still at 1.368v while VID bumped up to 1.42 Jam#0384: Mine does 4.7GHz at like 1.3v Rysing Dragoon#5628: Somethings wrong with my CPU cooler Rysing Dragoon#5628: A few seconds after I boot my PC up, it just has a seizure and starts making really loud noises Rysing Dragoon#5628: And it's not going faster or anything Rysing Dragoon#5628: It's slowing to the point where you can see the individual fan blades Rysing Dragoon#5628: I'm afraid that if I try to use my computer in this condition, the CPU will fry Rysing Dragoon#5628: Anyone know what the cause is?

TheFifthAce#4128: @jay1185 make sure to not use anecdotal evidence you twit TheFifthAce#4128: thats like saying the a400s aren't bad drives simply because "Oh mine didnt fail!!" Deleted User#0000: well i just destroyed a pc Deleted User#0000: Rip JustinXenyx#8854: what happened? Deleted User#0000: left it on to see how stable it was, forgot to plug in the cpu fan connector and the board kinda just melted a bit Deleted User#0000: the only fan was the psu fan and i left it for like 6 hours jay1185#0112: @TheFifthAce It's not just anecdotal. Just like any other product, most have good and bad ratings. Why would you not use anecdotal evidence to recommend something to somebody? I never said Thermaltake was the best brand or anything. Chill out, man... JustinXenyx#8854: I think Abstract was more talking about people basing their recommendations/opinions on cherry picked samples while not looking at the whole picture. I do agree that he could've worded it a bit better though @jay1185 JustinXenyx#8854: While i myself never have had a TR2 fail on me personally, many clients came to us with computers and power supply issues, where i was able to find some TR2 units because of their very low quality components and quality control jay1185#0112: Right. I've seen all kinds of PSUs fail, new and old. They've been mostly Corsair for myself and my friends/customers. TheFifthAce#4128: My point was that he went "hey that awful psu? mine didnt fail, so its not bad!" jay1185#0112: I never said that at all jay1185#0112: go read my message, silly.

TheFifthAce#4128: ... jay1185#0112: Ok so where did I say "It's not bad?" jay1185#0112: You're so quick to jump on people that you insert your own feelings into shit dude... TheFifthAce#4128: Okay, then what was your fucking point if it wasn't to say that it's not a bad PSU? You either were saying that, or you had no fucking point in the first place. jay1185#0112: so we should all go by what you said about those PSUs as a guide for the future, right? what you say is compeltely accurate and perfect? jay1185#0112: so experience with a product means nothing in a recommendation. jay1185#0112: gotcha. TheFifthAce#4128: ???? YOU JUST SAID YOU WERENT RECCOMENDING IT jay1185#0112: no i didn't jay1185#0112: i said that i didn't say "It's not bad" jay1185#0112: what are you trying to do to my words, man? TheFifthAce#4128: What are you trying to do to your own? You're constantly twisting your own story. jay1185#0112: nah i've been pretty up front about everything thus far. TheFifthAce#4128: You started with "hey don't listen to this one reccomendation, I had the same PSU and it lasted for years". TheFifthAce#4128: How is that NOT
TheFifthAce#4128: a reccomendation jay1185#0112: I didn't say that jay1185#0112: i said LISTEN TO MORE THAN ONE OPINION TheFifthAce#4128: THEN FOLLOWED THAT UP WITH jay1185#0112: and? TheFifthAce#4128: "MY PSU LASTED FINE" TheFifthAce#4128: WHY ADD THAT IF ITS NOT A RECCOMENDATION TheFifthAce#4128: You're full of shit jay1185#0112: because you called a complete company's line of power supply units garbage. which is not accurate jay1185#0112: multiple companies* TheFifthAce#4128: TR2s are all bad jay1185#0112: XD TheFifthAce#4128: You're a fucking idiot. Just because a PSU made with inferior components with shitty quality control didn't fail on you doesn't make it any good. TheFifthAce#4128: It is an objectively inferior and shitty PSU. TheFifthAce#4128: A400s are all bad. They use inferior components with shitty quality control.
TheFifthAce#4128: You're either trolling or genuinely beyond help. TheFifthAce#4128: Because saying "Don't listen to one person, my PSU lasted fine" is definitely a reccomendation. jay1185#0112: i told them to listen to more than one person TheFifthAce#4128: Then followed it up with TheFifthAce#4128: "because mine didnt fail" jay1185#0112: sure did TheFifthAce#4128: And you're saying that stating a thing didn't fail, and saying that after saying "dont listen to one person", isn't a reccomendation. jay1185#0112: it's a recommendation to listen to more than one person jay1185#0112: i never told them to go out and buy a tr2 or buy it because i said so jay1185#0112: i was adding that because i had good luck with a product TheFifthAce#4128: So in your world, going "don't listen to just one person, chopping off your own leg worked fine for me" isn't a reccomendation? jay1185#0112: why is that wrong to you? jay1185#0112: lol TheFifthAce#4128: Because it's very clearly a recommendation and you're either too stupid to see or you're trolling jay1185#0112: idk what you're trying to prove, but you win.
jay1185#0112: you win bro jay1185#0112: you win, congrats. jay1185#0112: you're right TheFifthAce#4128: I'm going to go with trolling. jay1185#0112: not trying to jay1185#0112: i'm too old for that kid shit jay1185#0112: i thought in recommending a product, people use experiences with said product to recommend it jay1185#0112: online reviews should also be considered, as well as multiple opinions jay1185#0112: not just what one person says JustinXenyx#8854: Dude, chill the fuck down @TheFifthAce. This isn't a competition or something, Jaybird said that Tiny should get multiple opinions, then followed up with him saying that he did not have an issue with one of the products mentioned, which means he contributed his opinion/experience to the matter Jam#0384: Abstract you can be a pretty big cunt sometimes when it comes to getting a point across Jam#0384: You’ve done it with me jay1185#0112: it's like "your way is the only way" Jam#0384: He isn’t wrong SanteRaptor#2609: None of the pc repair shops in my city have had to replace a broken A400 but im still incrediblyparanoid about mine
jay1185#0112: correct jay1185#0112: he's not wrong jay1185#0112: but neither the fk am i jay1185#0112: it's all opinions Jam#0384: I was saying you aren’t wrong Jam#0384: about “his way being the only way” jay1185#0112: ah. yeah i just put in a recommendation and he jumps my shit callin me a twit haha i'm like, but, this is a tech hep discord. JustinXenyx#8854: I do think a vital aspect of the tech community is that multiple people share their experiences with products, whether those may have been good or bad. Just because one dude hasn't had a problem with a item yet doesn't mean that we should bash on him because "WELL, WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU SAY THAT IF ITS A BAD PRODUCT" jay1185#0112: idk. i was just saying, i've had a great track record with thermaltake. that old tr2 in my "server(other desktop)" still going, a 600 smart in me and my ladies' rig, and 5 friends all with smart PSUs, and we've been goin strong for 2 years. TheFifthAce#4128: @SanteRaptor Where'd you get that info of not having to replace; from the tech shops themselves? jay1185#0112: right, i never said that anyting was good or bad, at all. every individual component has a different lifespan. SanteRaptor#2609: I literally asked the guys because I know those lads TheFifthAce#4128: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ SanteRaptor#2609: 3 shops and all were weirded out by A400s failing jay1185#0112: it happens tho
jay1185#0112: ppl have to understand the nature of electronics lol jay1185#0112: it's all a lottery. every. single. piece. TheFifthAce#4128: Apologies. TheFifthAce#4128: I do get too intense. jay1185#0112: all good man i apologize too for jumping back jay1185#0112: 😃 jay1185#0112: let's just agree that we're all nerds and VERY passionate about computer hardware TheFifthAce#4128: I'm constantly multitasking so if one thing slightly irks me, it quickly turns into "oh god oh fuck escalate because you gotta do that and do this" jay1185#0112: you need more threads 😛 TheFifthAce#4128: I have 12 :sadman: TheFifthAce#4128: I do want more though jay1185#0112: lolz i mean you, not your PC hehe TheFifthAce#4128: yeah TheFifthAce#4128: I'm usually okay about normal multitasking, but interacting with other people isnt my strongsuit while multitasking jay1185#0112: so u can multitask betta. i'm not very good at it past like 2 or 3 things LOL
jay1185#0112: ah is all good homeskilletslice TheFifthAce#4128: I'm playing BL2 with my brother while managing six bots, managing two other discords, managing like eight facebook marketplace conversations, eating salmiakki, petting my dog, and yelling at the dogs downstairs to shut up SanteRaptor#2609: SALMIAKKI jay1185#0112: damn dude lol that's too much TheFifthAce#4128: salmiakki best jay1185#0112: i just looked that up. SALTY LICORICE? y'all are crazy SanteRaptor#2609: Im just drinking soda while trying to calm down by talking about pc tech online TheFifthAce#4128: and all the while I'm doing this, I'm worrying about job applications, college applications, etc jay1185#0112: jesus dude take some shit off of ur plate lol TheFifthAce#4128: If I'm not busy I tend to have bad thoughts so I just try to keep busy jay1185#0112: well damn idk seems like u need something to chillax lol jay1185#0112: no reason to stress urself out! TheFifthAce#4128: @SanteRaptor I got some german salmiak pastillen for cheap and its really good ngl SanteRaptor#2609: nice Tinybox#9112: Sorry for causing an argument :/
@TheFifthAce @jay1185 Didn't mean to. Thanks for both of your opinions though, and as always thank you a lot @JustinXenyx Alcyone#2233: evga ftw2 1070ti or sapphire pulse v56, both are used and about the same money MythologicalZ#3752: Personally Vega since it'll age better and is more fun to mess with thatubuntuguy#5914: SALMKIAKKI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TheFifthAce#4128: yessssss JustinXenyx#8854: If you want fun and longevity, Vega JustinXenyx#8854: If you want performance and power efficiency, 1070Ti scelli#0001: i think the reason the shell on my laptop has broken is because it has a 4-year old ssd which has pretty much always been full scelli#0001: the shell was probably corrupted scelli#0001: any other theories? Tinybox#9112: power modding a vega when you dont care anymore 👀 TheFifthAce#4128: I think the fact that 2077 is being released on the ps4 means that it won't be terribly hard to run TheFifthAce#4128: because the ps4 is fx JustinXenyx#8854: But that would require them doing an excellent PC port for decent optimization
JustinXenyx#8854: But its CDProjektRED, so i don't expect no less Tinybox#9112: Is the XEON E3-1270 v3 overclockable? And is it worth it to buy it in a PC? (16gb of ram some msi board) for 50 bucks 🤔 Tinybox#9112: and some hdd Tinybox#9112: 480gb Tinybox#9112: @Tech Helper MythologicalZ#3752: No it's not MythologicalZ#3752: For 50 it's worth it MythologicalZ#3752: But you can't OC JustinXenyx#8854: its not overclockable, but you can't really complain for 50€ @Tinybox Haris Džinović#5160: Sup my dudes Haris Džinović#5160: I just got rx580 Haris Džinović#5160: But I dont have a damn 8pin Haris Džinović#5160: So if I plug my two 6pin ibto an 8pin if it has space, would it work? JustinXenyx#8854: A 6 Pin doesn't make much difference compared to an 8 pin, it just has one more ground and sense pin, meaning that its still only 3 12V wires
Haris Džinović#5160: @JustinXenyx i watched a test, the screen didnt even turn on soooo JustinXenyx#8854: Its because of the sense pin thats missing Haris Džinović#5160: @JustinXenyx but if I put 2x6 into that 8pin and leave those 4 pins aside, would it work as an 8pin JustinXenyx#8854: It should work JustinXenyx#8854: Unless it doesn't like that the sense pin is missing Haris Džinović#5160: Well i mean it gives it power? Deinsti#5907: I doubt it will even fit Haris Džinović#5160: Ill try MythologicalZ#3752: Worst case you get this Haris Džinović#5160: Nothing can stop me MythologicalZ#3752: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ben-gi-Connector-Splitter-Computer-Adaptor/dp/B07T6GLXNT/ Deinsti#5907: Each pin has a different shape usually so it would match MythologicalZ#3752: Or adapter off molex Haris Džinović#5160: Damn u right MythologicalZ#3752: Ah fuck wrong link

MythologicalZ#3752: I personally wouldn't TheFifthAce#4128: what psu has 6 pin but not 6 + 2 Haris Džinović#5160: Btw I have a Chinese shit of a 600w psu but how come it be 600 with no 8 pin TheFifthAce#4128: I wouldnt put a 580 on that at all

Alcyone#2233: I'd look for a 580 8gb. but seems like a decent upgrade if you get one for around $100 and sell the 380.

TheGeekster#8508: also ya know about the noise they make right? 😩 TheFifthAce#4128: the more noise the better uwu Deinsti#5907: W10 runs fine on 3770 so a 6 core xeon should fare better TheGeekster#8508: vacuum cleaner level when booting, and when adding a gpu bare in mind that power connectors and power supplies inside are NOT standard TheGeekster#8508: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/593554754425192460/OriginalJPG.png Lulu#0900: win10 still runs fine on 2nd gen Ive been using it on a i3 2120 TheFifthAce#4128: yeah it runs fine lol
TheFifthAce#4128: I was just wondering if the sas drives would be weird or something TheFifthAce#4128: what if I replace the fans in it with noctuas TheFifthAce#4128: :Smart: TheGeekster#8508: not a standard size, and it'll throw errors with the server as it's not dell specific fans running at their specified speeds TheFifthAce#4128: it has a 4x pcie I think, either 4x or 16x TheFifthAce#4128: so I'll just put some low power card TheGeekster#8508: server hardware is a lot more... picky, it's quite cunty when you do things it wasn't designed for, but should be okay providing you work around the quirks, give this a read before you buy though https://topics-cdn.dell.com/pdf/poweredge-t320_owners-manual_en-us.pdf TheFifthAce#4128: I mean, its 50$ TheGeekster#8508: it's the owners manual for the servers, it'll tell you a lot about them, and the different options about it TheFifthAce#4128: I can sell it "as is" for more than that TheGeekster#8508: true TheGeekster#8508: yeah i'd go for it though, decent box nacabaro#2138: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/593556849416994900/Screenshot_20190626-233846.png nacabaro#2138: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/593556861270228992/Screenshot_20190626-233849.png nacabaro#2138: Please, I'm about to lose my shit with the Nvidia drivers
TheFifthAce#4128: >nvidia on linux nacabaro#2138: You know the pain of debugging when your computer is stucked in a black screen because Nvidia drivers don't let you access to the tty? nacabaro#2138: When that happens, my only option left is to back up everything and reinstall Linux TheFifthAce#4128: install windows! SanteRaptor#2609: *original* Lulu#0900: what you on about go with good old dos TheFifthAce#4128: install 3.1! nacabaro#2138: @TheFifthAce only windows I can run is 7 nacabaro#2138: And struggling Lulu#0900: dang some bad hardware what you running on? nacabaro#2138: Core 2 duo t7500 and e7600 nacabaro#2138: Those are my main gpus DarknessFalls229#2286: c* nacabaro#2138: At this point, Intel gpus have better support in linux Lulu#0900: odd shouldn't be struggling to bad with win 7 I got that working fairly well on a pentium 4
nacabaro#2138: I mean, struggling with windows 7 because the computers I use are crap, literally nacabaro#2138: And the support is running out nacabaro#2138: I need a new laptop Lulu#0900: I use both modern and old so cant comment to much. might wanna look into a desktop instead of a laptop nacabaro#2138: Oh, sorry, let me reformulate Lulu#0900: well I say that you can get a ryzen 2200g for fair price laptop[ nacabaro#2138: *They run win7 fine, the thing is that the support is running out nacabaro#2138: That's why I switched to Linux Lulu#0900: win7 is already no longer supported nacabaro#2138: That's why nacabaro#2138: I run Linux nacabaro#2138: I tried windows 10 in this computer nacabaro#2138: The first versions ran well enough DarknessFalls229#2286: win10 is an oof on C2D nacabaro#2138: After 1803
nacabaro#2138: Well uh nacabaro#2138: It landed on the desktop, asked for a reboot, and then would get stuck on a black screen nacabaro#2138: Every. Single. Time. Lulu#0900: pushing a bit hard with c2d look for a modern budget latop you could get a 4th gen i5 for fairly cheap if you dont mind bare bones. the ryzen 2200g laptop i got for storing was about £200 nacabaro#2138: The thing is that I only have saved like 150€ nacabaro#2138: And I have to suffer like a masochist with this thing Lulu#0900: depends on what specs your willing to settle on. DarknessFalls229#2286: 150 euro can get you a somewhat decent laptop nacabaro#2138: I'll say my needs and you recommend me Lulu#0900: Not sure if there still selling this much on clearance but recently some sites was doing ryzen laptops for around £170 DarknessFalls229#2286: thats 190 euro bro Lulu#0900: but by decent really except around 720p unless the laptop some how has a decent gpu nacabaro#2138: My needs are: -Light video editing -Picture processing (GIMP)
-Intensive web browsing -Light gaming and emulation -Virtualization (Sometimes) DarknessFalls229#2286: *intensive web browsing* nacabaro#2138: Like 20 tabs on chrome always open DarknessFalls229#2286: but that means a dGPU would be appreciated nacabaro#2138: I need 8GB minimun DarknessFalls229#2286: 20 tabs nacabaro#2138: 4GB runs short for me DarknessFalls229#2286: you need a damn nasa computer for that many tabs nacabaro#2138: I even had to use 2 computers when doing a lot of tasks DarknessFalls229#2286: whats yer country? nacabaro#2138: Spain Lulu#0900: yeah gl with that budget mate Lulu#0900: unless you can stretch it further
nacabaro#2138: I would try to DarknessFalls229#2286: uuuh, do you have a website youd like to buy off, that we could use? DarknessFalls229#2286: what about used laptops? nacabaro#2138: I never thought of that nacabaro#2138: Since all my equipment was for free Lulu#0900: there bound to used on that budget nacabaro#2138: Because they gifted it to me Lulu#0900: 1 sec nacabaro#2138: I might be able to get 300€ in Christmas Lulu#0900: how about this? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HP-15-db0997na-15-6-Inch-Laptop-AMD-Ryzen-3-Windows-10-4GB-RAM-1TB-HDD-C-Grade/123612979977?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 TheFifthAce#4128: @nacabaro e7400 runs win 10 fine TheFifthAce#4128: it can run fallout 4 on windows 10 fine DarknessFalls229#2286: thats about 182 euro with a 150 euro budget Lulu#0900: yeah but not for editing and stuff like that it wouldnt last DarknessFalls229#2286: also doesnt have that 8GB he wanted
Lulu#0900: theres probably other options with the seller nacabaro#2138: @TheFifthAce try running 1803 on a 2009 iMac Lulu#0900: or you could get laptop ram cheapish since the price drop nacabaro#2138: I might be able to stand this laptop until December TheFifthAce#4128: 03 🤢 09 gang Lulu#0900: yeah save some more first better option range Lulu#0900: and winter sales to nacabaro#2138: But about the first question Lulu#0900: sure ask away nacabaro#2138: Would I be able to make a new graphics mode with Nvidia drivers on Linux? nacabaro#2138: I tried the xrandr newmode and then addmode nacabaro#2138: And it won't let me do the addmode part nacabaro#2138: Is there a way to force it? nacabaro#2138: If no, tomorrow I'll have to compile reicast for windows DarknessFalls229#2286: yeah, i have no knowledge on linux
DarknessFalls229#2286: but would windows 7 really be that bad? nacabaro#2138: I don't know if reicast even got on windows 7 nacabaro#2138: I've been using Linux so damn long to care about that fact nacabaro#2138: I use windows for school and printing stuff DarknessFalls229#2286: how about dual booting...? Lulu#0900: not big linux user either. and dual bootings a fair option TheFifthAce#4128: use win 10 nacabaro#2138: I have dual booting TheFifthAce#4128: smh nacabaro#2138: The thing is thst TheFifthAce#4128: win 10 is fine on core 2 duo DarknessFalls229#2286: on a core 2 duo? TheFifthAce#4128: yeah lol Lady Mipha#0611: Yeah nacabaro#2138: Does it run well with ddr2 ram?
TheFifthAce#4128: yes nacabaro#2138: 4GB DDR2? Lady Mipha#0611: But you got to use a ssd nacabaro#2138: I've never had any luck with it TheFifthAce#4128: yeah 4gb is fine nacabaro#2138: I have a very fast hard drive, does that count? TheFifthAce#4128: yeah thats fine as well, I've done that Lulu#0900: 5200rpm or 7200rpm harddrive nacabaro#2138: I mean, the difference between sequential and random access nacabaro#2138: 5400rpm Lulu#0900: swap to ssd nacabaro#2138: But it can do like 150MB/s nacabaro#2138: In sequential DarknessFalls229#2286: i think that should be fine nacabaro#2138: Anyways, thanks for the help, I'll try to see if I can force a mode in Nvidia drivers, compile reicast for windows or even look for my dreams laptop
nacabaro#2138: Because carrying something as thick as a 1 euro coin isn't the best thing in the world Lulu#0900: Np and gl DarknessFalls229#2286: GL! nacabaro#2138: Thanks nacabaro#2138: See ya tomorrow nacabaro#2138: It's too late nacabaro#2138: People suggested me to modify the X config file and force a mode there nacabaro#2138: I'll try that tomorrow Gamefreak924#5901: The system time has changed to ‎2019‎-‎06‎-‎26T14:43:07.500000000Z from ‎2019‎-‎06‎-‎26T06:23:22.185566400Z. Change Reason: System time synchronized with the hardware clock. Anyone know how to stop my computer from waking up because of this? I even tried disabling time sync in the task scheduler and that didn't work. TheFifthAce#4128: ok lads, I have picked up sERveR how do I install an operating system
they're SAS drives so idk what I'm doing lol do I switch from bios to eufi if I'm using win 10 / 10 servers TheFifthAce#4128: spec: t320 xeon e5 2420 (6c12t @ 1.9ghz (2.5ghz boost) 16gb (8gb??) ram, three 600gb 15k rpm drives with a missing raid card TheFifthAce#4128: bios says 8gb but I was told it had 16gb TheFifthAce#4128: yeah its 8gb, wack Lady Mipha#0611: Photo TheFifthAce#4128: wym photo Lady Mipha#0611: Can you share a photo TheFifthAce#4128: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/593630671587770368/20190626_223221.jpg Lulu#0900: I found a t320 for £150 Lulu#0900: Not sure about the price tho Lady Mipha#0611: That’s not bad
Lady Mipha#0611: But it’s the single socket version Lulu#0900: Thats fine personally Lulu#0900: I might just bid on this dell power edge r815 TheFifthAce#4128: @Deleted User lmao the win lock led on my keyboard is already yellowed because I keep it on at all times TheFifthAce#4128: rgb led > white led nacabaro#2138: Is it possible to get a cheap laptop with thunderbolt 3? nacabaro#2138: Just wondering nacabaro#2138: Ok, does someone know how to add metamodes to the X configuration file? SuSSudio#2688: finally, intel now sees ryzen as a threat TheGeekster#8508: @nacabaro Not really, thunderbolt 3 is a high spec thing nacabaro#2138: i added a metamode in my system nacabaro#2138: but xrandr doesn't detect it Bertie Kemp#1114: what graphics card would go well with a core 2 quad 9550? DarknessFalls229#2286: maximum of 1050ti performance Bertie Kemp#1114: okay, i was thinking of buying an older graphics card, so any reccomnedations
DarknessFalls229#2286: maybe GTX 780, GTX 960, r9 280x, hd 7950 DarknessFalls229#2286: or do you mean era appropriate? Bertie Kemp#1114: yeah i only have about £60 so spend on a gpu DarknessFalls229#2286: so budget orientated DarknessFalls229#2286: hd 7000 series are usually pretty cheap DarknessFalls229#2286: so like 7850, 7870, 7950, 7970 along with some r9 2xx series Bertie Kemp#1114: okay ill have a look, thanks DarknessFalls229#2286: my friend even got an r9 290 for 65 euro a few months ago, so that might be one of the best options, unless you can find some extra cheap rx cards Bertie Kemp#1114: an r9 270x for £40 wouldnt be too bad right? DarknessFalls229#2286: hmmm, not the best deal DarknessFalls229#2286: might be able to get a 280x for that price JustinXenyx#8854: @nacabaro Well, i think they're certainly out there, but usually those are just low end i3's with integrated graphics Abe.#3344: Can I use a cotton buds to spread thermal paste? MythologicalZ#3752: Why though? MythologicalZ#3752: Rice sized blob should be fine
Abe.#3344: I normally wouldn't, but I've got to reapply it to bare cores on a laptop CPU Abe.#3344: No heatspreader JustinXenyx#8854: No, don't use cotton JustinXenyx#8854: cotton leaves behind little pieces in thermal paste Abe.#3344: Yeah, thats what I thought, is there anything else I can use? JustinXenyx#8854: If you absolutely need to use something, i'd say a older plastic card or a plastic spudger do the trick Abe.#3344: I have another question now, how do I clean a cooler and a bare CPU without alcohol nacabaro#2138: parfume works for me nacabaro#2138: but it has to have a lot of alcohol RandomTacos#3695: Go get isopropyl but you can try with a paper towel and lots of elbow grease nacabaro#2138: my parfume is capable of erasing permanent nacabaro#2138: so it has a lot of alcohol DarknessFalls229#2286: you can also just use a clean towel or tarp Abe.#3344: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/593850539230363668/IMG_20190627_180915513.jpg Abe.#3344: Is dis good?
Abe.#3344: I don't know how to spread lol Abe.#3344: Should be fine right? DarknessFalls229#2286: dunno if its enough, no depth perception on the paste DarknessFalls229#2286: but if its a nice layer itll make enough contact with the cooler Abe.#3344: Let's hope so! Abe.#3344: Ok, I think my fix worked Abe.#3344: Now it's idleing at 48-59 degrees instead of 104 DarknessFalls229#2286: sounds not optimal, but much, much better Abe.#3344: Definitely Abe.#3344: I don't think theres anything else I can do about it, I don't believe I can find a new cooler that fits for it so there's nothing else to do DarknessFalls229#2286: if the cooler's clean and youve used your best TP for it then no DarknessFalls229#2286: unless you want to turbo boost your fans and lift off your laptop SussyBalls#4615: Damn I wish it was still that easy to replace cpus on laptops JustinXenyx#8854: @Abe. Which paste do you have on there rn? JustinXenyx#8854: Sometimes just going for a higher quality paste can drop temps up-to 10-15C
Abe.#3344: Uh it's called "RS PRO Heat sink compound" Abe.#3344: Got it from a friend for free from his workplace JustinXenyx#8854: hmm, that doesn't sound like the most high quality thermal paste Abe.#3344: Hey, free is free XD Abe.#3344: I'm on *budget* builds for a reason XD DarknessFalls229#2286: we all are but we still have people with 1000 and 2000 series cards and high end ryzen and i7 CPUs Jam#0384: Like me Jam#0384: I’m still budget Lady Mipha#0611: :Hahahahaha: DarknessFalls229#2286: you hush with your free i7 4790k Jam#0384: I have multiple i7s, pascal gpus and a maxwell card and other stuff and I am definitely not rich it just takes time and luck. Not the most budget oriented person here Jam#0384: with enough patience DarknessFalls229#2286: ***hushhhshshhsh*** Jam#0384: You can find deals Lady Mipha#0611: I’m the one that’s budget
Jam#0384: Shut up dark i play with my pentium 4 more than my 3 i7s Jam#0384: :Hahahahaha: Lady Mipha#0611: :Hahahahaha: DarknessFalls229#2286: i play with my Q6600 more than my i7 2600k Jam#0384: Thats fair DarknessFalls229#2286: tbf, im trying to sell that i7 pc DarknessFalls229#2286: and the Q6600 is on my testbench JustinXenyx#8854: I use high end hardware way more than my own rigs lol DarknessFalls229#2286: justin rocking his W3175x Lady Mipha#0611: I use my T5600 more than my T5600 Lady Mipha#0611: :Hahahahaha: Jam#0384: I’m still stuck on Haswell/Devil’s Canyon in 2019 Jam#0384: and Sandy Bridge Jam#0384: and possibly a NetBurst JustinXenyx#8854: nah, i do PC assembly at work lol, i basically get to play with most new hardware for workstations and gaming rigs lol @DarknessFalls229
DarknessFalls229#2286: yeah, twas a joke DarknessFalls229#2286: i mean, cobs work has high end servers Jam#0384: Justin pulls out his quad xeon system with 124 cores Jam#0384: And 2x rtx titan DarknessFalls229#2286: linus drops his 28 core CPU Jam#0384: linus drops his child JustinXenyx#8854: and breaks the substrate lmao @DarknessFalls229 Lady Mipha#0611: :Hahahahaha: DarknessFalls229#2286: RIP linus drop tech Jam#0384: Linus drops the entire company of intel Jam#0384: Thats why AMD wins Jam#0384: he dropped all the intel stock Jam#0384: And their work on 10nm DarknessFalls229#2286: "hey intel can you keep sending me those 10.000$ CPUs? i keep dropping them" Jam#0384: “Hmm okay but not next time.”
JustinXenyx#8854: They probably still turn a profit in promotion lol Jam#0384: “Hey Intel..” DarknessFalls229#2286: meanwhile NVIDIA sending over 6 Titan Vs Jam#0384: NVIDIA should send me a Titan V Jam#0384: 😏 JustinXenyx#8854: why a Volta card JustinXenyx#8854: Volta is outdated!! Jam#0384: Because its just a neat card Jam#0384: For my collection Jam#0384: and i mean its still capable JustinXenyx#8854: t'was a joke DarknessFalls229#2286: because his 100k machine is done now, whille it was started last year Jam#0384: Its actually pretty cool Jam#0384: Tbh Jam#0384: Even if its not super pretty
DarknessFalls229#2286: that rig is indeed cool DarknessFalls229#2286: but i wonder how he wil ever effectively use it Jam#0384: I think its for editors Jam#0384: So that all his editors can pull straight from the server DarknessFalls229#2286: yes, 6 editors "1" CPU Jam#0384: And work off the same machine DarknessFalls229#2286: but where has his 7 gamers one cpu pc gone to? JustinXenyx#8854: honestly, i think if Caselabs still would exist they probably would've taken even longer lmao Jam#0384: I don’t think he kept that one together Jam#0384: RIP caselabs though Jam#0384: All the people who spent the money on their cases, their investments are now worthwhile Jam#0384: Because the cases are worth a good amount more now TheFifthAce#4128: so basically TheFifthAce#4128: how do I install OS on t320 TheFifthAce#4128: :sadman:
TheFifthAce#4128: do I just use normal boot from USB, delete all partitions, and install to one JustinXenyx#8854: T320? Lady Mipha#0611: Server JustinXenyx#8854: oh, so you did get that e5 2420 machine? @TheFifthAce JustinXenyx#8854: I'd say its just like any normal os install, boot from install media, format hdd you'll install on and enjoy TheFifthAce#4128: yes I did get it TheFifthAce#4128: it was only 50$ I'm not gonna turn that down lol TheFifthAce#4128: could sell the power supplies alone for that prolly TheFifthAce#4128: also dual hotswappable PSUs is :GWempMoan: TheFifthAce#4128: @JustinXenyx can I just put 10 on it, I don't feel like dealing with server TheGeekster#8508: Give it a go, see what happens, you may need additional storage drivers during install, but not sure until you try it JustinXenyx#8854: I wouldn't like dealing with it either @TheFifthAce JustinXenyx#8854: But yeah, you may need some additional drivers during installation SussyBalls#4615: Is this a good psu? Could get it for 15 dollars https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/594129784725045268/JPEG_20190628_134035.jpg Lulu#0900: Its decent brand
Lulu#0900: Just depends on if its still working mi³nshel#9774: is redmi 7 a good budget smartphone mi³nshel#9774: or are there better choices at ~$100-150 Lulu#0900: Never heard of redmi got a link or something? TheGeekster#8508: Your best bet is to look up reviews online, probably aren't gonna find someone with the exact same phone here TheFifthAce#4128: @Tech Helper I have an HP laptop that had tea spilled into it. It was quickly turned off and had hair driers pointed at it, but now the numpad + function keys do not work, the pause key continually toggles on and off, backspace doesn't work. Do you think replacing the keyboard would fix it? GoldenSky#4649: Check the keyboard connector MythologicalZ#3752: Well you make it sound like a keyboard issue first off GoldenSky#4649: Make sure the laptop’s motherboard is clean MythologicalZ#3752: So yeah,check the connector and go from there I guess GoldenSky#4649: If you still have issues, then replace the keyboard TheFifthAce#4128: It does sound a lot like a keyboard issue TheFifthAce#4128: also should I switch from bios to eufi on this server @MythologicalZ nacabaro#2138: i have another hp laptop but when it's turned on the caps lock blinks 2 times and remains on a black screen nacabaro#2138: and it keeps blinking
TheFifthAce#4128: connect to an external display? TheFifthAce#4128: see if it's a screen issue TheFifthAce#4128: @JustinXenyx I have 3 drives and none of them are showing up in the windows installer thing to install to for the t320 they're 600gb 15k rpm SAS drives TheFifthAce#4128: Do I *need* a raid card? DarknessFalls229#2286: maybe you need to load a driver for your current drive controller JustinXenyx#8854: @TheFifthAce You probably need to install some drivers for your current SAS controller as DarknesssFalls said, as Windows doesn't really like dealing with SAS Drives TheFifthAce#4128: how do I load the driver TheFifthAce#4128: just put it on a USB? JustinXenyx#8854: I think you should be able to load it from the USB in the installer JustinXenyx#8854: @mi³nshel its a pretty solid phone for the price, i'd go for it JustinXenyx#8854: Also your Keyboard issue sounds highly like either some liquid got deeper than you'd like (potentially liquid in keyboard connector) or it is directly shorting certain keyboard lines @TheFifthAce TheFifthAce#4128: So then...time to replace keyboard TheFifthAce#4128: @JustinXenyx I put the drivers on a usb but they wont show up in windows

TheGeekster#8508: Think we gonna need a rundown of what's inside the server, disks won't show up if you haven't set up the disk controller properly, servers aren't as straight forward as computers TheGeekster#8508: if he doesn't have a sas controller in there... then the disks are useless TheFifthAce#4128: there is no raid card TheFifthAce#4128: it's a t320; xeon e5 2420 (6c12t), 8gb ram (He gave me wrong ram, gonna swap it for 16 on saturay), three 600gb 15k rpm sas drives, quadro FX 1800, two 495w platinum PSUs TheGeekster#8508: Then the hard drives won't work TheGeekster#8508: there's no controller for them TheFifthAce#4128: :Thonkang: TheFifthAce#4128: I need a raid card then TheFifthAce#4128: do I need a specific one TheGeekster#8508: i'd suggest an LSI-9211-8i as they're cheap and available from china, supporting 8 disks, what bays does the server have? TheGeekster#8508: have you got a picture of the front?
