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.
Tinybox#9112: Plus its this friends first rig...I guess

MythologicalZ#3752: PS3110-S10 |
MythologicalZ#3752: So a S10 effectively
MythologicalZ#3752: With Nanya DRAM
Tinybox#9112: Yep
MythologicalZ#3752: Now look
JustinXenyx#8854: I think i'm having Vietnam flashbacks from that lmao
MythologicalZ#3752: Nothing against Nanya
MythologicalZ#3752: But their DDR3 and DDR4 are actual shit
MythologicalZ#3752: I'd imagine their DRAM in SSDs isn't great either
MythologicalZ#3752: + a shitty controller
Tinybox#9112: Shit to the point where a dramless SSD would actually be better?
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 |
TheFifthAce#4128: about what I would make in terms of specs
Tinybox#9112: "SM2256"
Tinybox#9112: How good is that?
JustinXenyx#8854: silicon motion ain't it?
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?
Can find loads o pictures from it, and controller was straight up listed..haven't been able to find out how much dram is featured
Tinybox#9112: (Klevv Neo n600)
Flannel84#2980: thank you @MythologicalZ makes more sense now (the temps I'm seeing) as the ambient temp is normally around 25-30c in this place.

@Tech Helper |
TheFifthAce#4128: @Tinybox 6 + 2
TheFifthAce#4128: with doublers
JustinXenyx#8854: Is it? I thought its 4+2?
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: my gpu boosts to 835mhz which is normal boost clocks
TheFifthAce#4128: but ONLY IN THIS GAME
TheFifthAce#4128: ?????
TheFifthAce#4128: normally does 735mhz
TheFifthAce#4128: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/591510200519884884/unknown.png
TheFifthAce#4128: more confusion
TheFifthAce#4128: the cpu 1 says pegged at 100% in msi but is barely used according to task manager
JustinXenyx#8854: Maybe some special thermal/power threshold allows for the boosting? @TheFifthAce |
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: Tbh, I may as well just get an entirely new cooler for me

Corsair CX450 2017
EVGA 500B |
EVGA 450BR
SilverStone Strider Essential Series 600W (only one with an 80 plus 230v certification btw)
Riotoro Builder Edition 500W
Thermaltake TR2 Bronze 450W
-------Which one? And which one is a known "fire hazard so I can note that down"?
JustinXenyx#8854: TR2 definite bomb
JustinXenyx#8854: Riotoro sounds hella sketch
JustinXenyx#8854: the 500B has been shown to lack quality, not so sure about the 450BR
JustinXenyx#8854: Strider Essential is about on-par with EVGA White units, so pretty shit
JustinXenyx#8854: all in all, the CX or EVGA units are the best choice out of those 5 selected units
Tinybox#9112: Gotcha
Tinybox#9112: Oh btw, I found a review on the Riotoro builder by jonnyguru
Tinybox#9112: http://www.jonnyguru.com/blog/2018/09/17/riotoro-builder-500w-power-supply/
jay1185#0112: Be sure to get multiple opinions lol. I have a 7 year old TR-2 500 that's been run every day for the past 2 years with no issues.
TheFifthAce#4128: @Tinybox are aerocools available |
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 |
Haris Džinović#5160: @MythologicalZ so wheres the right one

Haris Džinović#5160: At least by what i saw
MythologicalZ#3752: Naw originally had a dual 8pin to 6pin or some shit
Haris Džinović#5160: So ahould I try to plug my 2x6 into 8pin?
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 |
MythologicalZ#3752: Well because it's Chinese shit :OmegaxD:
Haris Džinović#5160: @TheFifthAce ah k

TheFifthAce#4128: 26 is 500
TheFifthAce#4128: so 60 is like 900-1000 isnt it
Haris Džinović#5160: Not even close |

TheFifthAce#4128: I mean
TheFifthAce#4128: at what price
DarknessFalls229#2286: sounds like a good idea, but what price
TheFifthAce#4128: if it's like 70-80$, sure, go for it
TheFifthAce#4128: if it's anything more, just save up and get a high power GPU like a vega |
Alcyone#2233: I'd look for a 580 8gb. but seems like a decent upgrade if you get one for around $100 and sell the 380.
TheFifthAce#4128: 100$ is too many dollars

Jam#0384: I just got a GTX 980 but i dont want to give that up even if i also have a 1080
Deleted User#0000: XD
Jam#0384: I also have a GTX 1060 3GB which hasn't been doing much
Deleted User#0000: lets see
Jam#0384: It's one of the better models
Deleted User#0000: maybe
Jam#0384: G1 card
Jam#0384: Nice bigger cooler, backplate, rgb |
Jam#0384: I could maybe trade that but honesty
Jam#0384: dunno
Jam#0384: its so much more useable, but theyre not rare at all
Jam#0384: hard decision there
Deleted User#0000: Yeah it is.
Deleted User#0000: I need to test the BFG card but it should work.
Jam#0384: Well I'll sit on this, maybe later I can just buy the GeForce 3 off you and we can talk about the BFG card then and see what could maybe be done?
Deleted User#0000: sure man.
Jam#0384: How much would you want for that GeForce 3 anyways
Jam#0384: shipped
Deleted User#0000: where in the US are you?
Jam#0384: Louisiana. Is that far?
Deleted User#0000: not at all
Deleted User#0000: im in texas
Jam#0384: That's ideal. |
Deleted User#0000: what is a price you think is good?
Jam#0384: $45? $50? I wouldn't really go above that because I could probably find a deal on them for about that or less if I waited long enough.
Jam#0384: Lots of hunting
Deleted User#0000: 50 is good I really have no use for it.
Jam#0384: Alright I'll get back to you in a month or two
Deleted User#0000: sounds good
Jam#0384: It's a little out of reach atm I've got lots going on
Jam#0384: And I've spent lots of my money that ive set aside for goofs
Deleted User#0000: haha
Deleted User#0000: I feel you
Jam#0384: Yeah, I mostly buy older stuff but i still pick up newer parts when I need to or see a good price if I can afford.
Deleted User#0000: well how much do you think some people would pay for it on ebay?
Jam#0384: Well depends on what types of some people
Jam#0384: Lots of people will lowball
Jam#0384: some diehard collectors who dont have one already could even shoot $100, but theres not many people like that out there |
Deleted User#0000: allright
Jam#0384: If I knew it was a more sought after variant maybe more than $100 but i cannot confirm that
Deleted User#0000: how do you even?
Jam#0384: Vogons
Jam#0384: Probably
Jam#0384: that's the best shot
Jam#0384: Can't think of too many other places people would know what to even do with a card like that
Deleted User#0000: Yeah im not that smart with older tech.
Jam#0384: I am, but I can't just look at it and verify that its some rare model
Jam#0384: Not usually
Jam#0384: I know a few
Jam#0384: I can easily identify what something is most times, with just a look or a couple clicks.
Deleted User#0000: well that is crazy
Jam#0384: I currently own 31 graphics cards, and 23 of them are from 1998-2009
Deleted User#0000: damn! |
Jam#0384: Out of those, majority are AGP
Deleted User#0000: I have like 5
Jam#0384: What 5?
Deleted User#0000: Yeah XD
Jam#0384: no like which cards
Jam#0384: GF3 Ti 500, GF 6800U , ???
Deleted User#0000: gtx 550TI, gtx 1060, rx560 and the two you know of.
Jam#0384: 550Ti is somewhat useable, 1060 good, RX 560 decent
Jam#0384: Not bad
Deleted User#0000: Yeah
Jam#0384: Currently,
Jam#0384: My modernish cards are
Deleted User#0000: im about to build my friend a computer so.

Jam#0384: 2x ATi Radeon 9250, 2x SiS 315
Jam#0384: And that should be it
Jam#0384: That's my collection
Jam#0384: I have not too many CPUs in comparison, lol.
Deleted User#0000: why so much!
Jam#0384: I like to mess around with old parts
Jam#0384: See what they were like
Jam#0384: and preserve them and keep them working |
Deleted User#0000: how old are you?
Jam#0384: 16. Grew up with a Pentium 3 and then a Core 2 Duo almost all my life until I got a job while under the age limit and worked to get myself something good.
Deleted User#0000: wow
Jam#0384: I played on a PS2 until 2010
Deleted User#0000: damn I mean you lived life man
Jam#0384: I just do whatever I need to to keep going, I haven't had a steady job for a while since school started becoming more demanding and I'm starting college level courses.
Jam#0384: But, life overall i much better.
Deleted User#0000: good man.
Jam#0384: Yeah
Deleted User#0000: what do you want to do after school?
Jam#0384: Maybe 3D modeling stuff, but I dunno.
Jam#0384: I have very limited experience with it.
Deleted User#0000: good luck
Jam#0384: Honestly, the only way to go is getting a PhD in medical or some sort of entertainment, or computer jobs anymore if you still have college as an option
Jam#0384: less jobs all the time |
Jam#0384: not just those but you get the idea
Deleted User#0000: all right
Deleted User#0000: TBH im only 14.
Daze#8232: Can someone tell me why my D: drive now has an icon of Tony Hawk American Wasteland?
Daze#8232: Like wtf https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/592527119175647234/unknown.png
Lady Mipha#0611: Is there a DVD in the drive @Daze
TheFifthAce#4128: @Lady Mipha ... is there a DVD in the hard drive
TheFifthAce#4128: :ThonkEyes:
Jam#0384: Isn’t D: drive usually DVD lol
Jam#0384: Or cd
TheFifthAce#4128: no
TheFifthAce#4128: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/592576549870370817/unknown.png
TheFifthAce#4128: hes on 7 also
TheFifthAce#4128: so it shows below hdd
Jamall#4646: My f**king hp laptop is thermalthrottling |
Jamall#4646: Its 103c
Jamall#4646: While playing minecraft
Jamall#4646: Need help
Lady Mipha#0611: @TheFifthAce if you noticed in the photo it shows a line right under and over the d: drive
TheFifthAce#4128: what
TheFifthAce#4128: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/592608284217835537/unknown.png
TheFifthAce#4128: thats the thing that shows that dvd drive below
Lady Mipha#0611: Well sorry maybe half our country’s internet died @TheFifthAce
Lady Mipha#0611: So that message was delayed
Daze#8232: No I don't have a disk inside my pc
Daze#8232: I don't know why there's this icon
Daze#8232: I think that if I unistall the game the icon it's gonna leave out so I have to finish it as quickly as possible
DarknessFalls229#2286: You can also just _change_ the drive icon yourself...
Daze#8232: I don't know how to do it
MythologicalZ#3752: Doesn't that happen with Pirated shit? Like it renames the drive to the game it is |
MythologicalZ#3752: Remember that happening to a client's rig
SanteRaptor#2609: Gta 2 on pc did that
GoldenSky#4649: Doesn’t that happen when you mount an ISO?
DarknessFalls229#2286: no customisation tab? @Daze https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/592679313409835018/unknown.png
JustinXenyx#8854: @Jamall Laptops generally get hot like that if a shit thermal paste has been used, if they're dusty as fuck or if the thermal paste is old and dried out
DarknessFalls229#2286: Its good to manage your laptop by physically cleaning it out a few times a year and reapply Thermal Paste too
JustinXenyx#8854: Usually just dust cleaning does it for me, especially since my laptop is huge and requires full disassembly for just repasting and/or changing the CPU/GPU
DarknessFalls229#2286: as long as your TP lasts its fine
JustinXenyx#8854: I mean, right now its ICDiamond, has been working fine so far, especially since i practically have LM temps without the risks of LM
JustinXenyx#8854: Well, except for IC Diamond scratching the die a bit, but in comparison thats a fair trade off
DarknessFalls229#2286: i need some good TP on my laptop
DarknessFalls229#2286: 70C idle be like 🔥
Deleted User#0000: Ok, got some more questions about things. How much is this worth, and how does it work? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/592730495771607054/JPEG_20190624_095751.jpg

kittycat959#2895: :haha:
SanteRaptor#2609: Will my ASRock H110M-G/M.2 fit in my Kolink Satellite Plus?
SanteRaptor#2609: because teh page says it can fit only upto 22.6x18cm and the board is 22,6 x 18,3 cm but a video i found of it show alot of space next to the mobo
JustinXenyx#8854: whats the kolink satelite plus again?
SanteRaptor#2609: a pc case
JustinXenyx#8854: Is it the weird micro-atx/itx hybrid case?
SanteRaptor#2609: yes
JustinXenyx#8854: Should work fine
SanteRaptor#2609: even with the .3cm difference?
JustinXenyx#8854: realistically, only the width matters, you've got plenty of length
SanteRaptor#2609: so it doesnt fit?
JustinXenyx#8854: I was implying that it fits and that the 0.3cm difference is not important with your case
SanteRaptor#2609: okay |
SanteRaptor#2609: thank you Justin once again
SanteRaptor#2609: Love ye
JustinXenyx#8854: np, always here to help
Jamall#4646: Im gonna replace the thermalpaste
Jamall#4646: If that doesnt help im going to undervolt my cpu
Jamall#4646: But i think my bios is locked
JustinXenyx#8854: which CPU do you have in your laptop? @Jamall
Jamall#4646: Intel core i5 3230m
Jamall#4646: Its an old cpu
Jamall#4646: Dualcore hyperthreaded
TheFifthAce#4128: its still reasonably competent
Lady Mipha#0611: that's true
Lady Mipha#0611: i know of two laptops that have a i5-3320m
Lady Mipha#0611: like not online but in real life
Lady Mipha#0611: i could grab and maybe use |

Jam#0384: U-I
Alcyone#2233: it wont start games at all or is only using 1 gpu?
BlandishlyPlain#2100: can someone help me
BlandishlyPlain#2100: this computer i think 2009 with a pentium 4 3.2 ghz 650 (model)
BlandishlyPlain#2100: eveytime i try to boot it it makes a beeping and then a orange led flashes |
BlandishlyPlain#2100: im trying to fix it up it was in my basement and collecting dust
Jam#0384: Unlikely to be 2009
BlandishlyPlain#2100: Something
Jam#0384: But irrelevant
Jam#0384: Beeping
Jam#0384: How many beeps
BlandishlyPlain#2100: Onecsec
Jam#0384: I'm guessing 3
BlandishlyPlain#2100: 6
Jam#0384: 6
Jam#0384: huh
Jam#0384: well
Jam#0384: how many memory sticks are in it
BlandishlyPlain#2100: Yup
BlandishlyPlain#2100: 4 |
Jam#0384: try taking each one out and test them indiv
Jam#0384: it could be a memory issue
Jam#0384: just use one different stick at a time
BlandishlyPlain#2100: My dad said before it got the blue screen of death and thought it was a hard drive problem
BlandishlyPlain#2100: But I don't know for sure
Jam#0384: wait wait
Jam#0384: is it booting
BlandishlyPlain#2100: No
Jam#0384: then it isnt the hard drive
Jam#0384: i mean it could also not work
Jam#0384: but thats not causing this
Jam#0384: My guesses are memory, video card if it has one which i doubt, or motherboard issues
BlandishlyPlain#2100: I guess I'll test ram
Jam#0384: I'd start there
BlandishlyPlain#2100: Idk if it helps but most of the USB ports don't provide power |
BlandishlyPlain#2100: Nvm
BlandishlyPlain#2100: I sorry
BlandishlyPlain#2100: I'm sorry*
Jam#0384: this pc wouldn't be good for anything other than retro gaming
Jam#0384: just going to put it out there
Jam#0384: so if youre fixing it up for any other purpose
Jam#0384: except experience i guess
Jam#0384: i mean you could use Word on it lol
BlandishlyPlain#2100: I figure I might fix it then maybe someone else can get use out of it or maybe make it my little retro gaming machine
Jam#0384: nobody else would get use out of it
BlandishlyPlain#2100: Lol
BlandishlyPlain#2100: Pry not
Jam#0384: retro gaming is the only true Use
BlandishlyPlain#2100: I kinda would feel like it's a waste not doing anything though
BlandishlyPlain#2100: So idk |
Jam#0384: The CPU is one of the best P4s around
Jam#0384: Aside from extremes
Jam#0384: But its on 775 which is kinda like P4s end of life
Jam#0384: And
Jam#0384: The motherboard is most likely nothing special
BlandishlyPlain#2100: Yeah
Jam#0384: I'd save the CPU and memory if it even works
Jam#0384: to use in a custom build
Jam#0384: Because even if you dont have a lot of money
Jam#0384: I am willing to bet that the PC will cost money to fix
Jam#0384: whether its a new motherboard, ram, etc
BlandishlyPlain#2100: Well I guess I could try to make a custom build with the case
Jam#0384: Is it a dell
BlandishlyPlain#2100: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/593283754877911040/IMG_20190625_182640_01.jpg
BlandishlyPlain#2100: Yeah |
Jam#0384: nope you cant
Jam#0384: everything in there is proprietary
BlandishlyPlain#2100: Oh ya crap maybe find another power supply?
Jam#0384: wont matter
Jam#0384: that pc isnt really worth your time tbh,
Jam#0384: wont fit most gpus
Jam#0384: wont run most games as is
BlandishlyPlain#2100: So I guess tomorrow I take the ram and CPU and hard drive
Jam#0384: yep, that motherboard and psu wont work on anything else
BlandishlyPlain#2100: Then take it to the dump
Jam#0384: or eWaste center
Jam#0384: make sure to save the Windows XP/Vista key
Jam#0384: off the pc
BlandishlyPlain#2100: Ya I guess I can try to find one but I kinda live in the middle of nowhere
Jam#0384: dump it is then |
BlandishlyPlain#2100: Ya I always do
Jam#0384: decent pentium 4 775 boards are cheap
Jam#0384: from good brands
Jam#0384: ~$20 shipped sometimes
Jam#0384: sometimes less
BlandishlyPlain#2100: Should I save the DVD ROM?
Jam#0384: sure, it probably works
Jam#0384: they come in handy for anything vista and older
Jam#0384: no steam, just gog
Jam#0384: disc games
BlandishlyPlain#2100: I check there is a Linux boot disc that my dad made a long time ago
Jam#0384: I wouldn't use linux for a retro pc unless you want to milk some performance
Jam#0384: you wont be able to run majority of games
BlandishlyPlain#2100: Ya idk why but he likes Linux alot
Jam#0384: its great for everything that isnt gaming |
Jam#0384: almost
BlandishlyPlain#2100: He hates windows for some reason
Jam#0384: I hate Windows sometimes
Jam#0384: but i use it
Jam#0384: because im comfortable with it
BlandishlyPlain#2100: I recently saved my sister's Mac
BlandishlyPlain#2100: The software was pretty easy to get it to reset to factory
BlandishlyPlain#2100: The data on the hard drive was corrupt
BlandishlyPlain#2100: Well thanks man

BlandishlyPlain#2100: Later

Alcyone#2233: fin density looks poor

BlandishlyPlain#2100: Can ram be stored like this?

JustinXenyx#8854: Its a bit sketchy, because of potential static build up in the bag |
BlandishlyPlain#2100: So what do I put it in
JustinXenyx#8854: anti-static bags??
JustinXenyx#8854: or into some ram trays, they're quite cheap off ebay
BlandishlyPlain#2100: Ok
BlandishlyPlain#2100: Thanks
BlandishlyPlain#2100: Oh ya if the gold pins on CPUs are bent will it still work?
BlandishlyPlain#2100: If you bend them back
DarknessFalls229#2286: Usually yes
BlandishlyPlain#2100: Thanks
JustinXenyx#8854: But keep in mind, you can't bend them back often, i'd say usually like 5-6 times before they snap off
DarknessFalls229#2286: Welp i think im done with my g210 sli machine, single card is fine but dual makes my games glitchy so i give up
Abe.#3344: Guys, I ned halp
TheGeekster#8508: aye?
Abe.#3344: I have an oldish laptop on windows 7 (MSI CR720 upgraded to 8gb ram and SSD) and I just started to notice the really annoying ramping up and down of the fan and it's pretty loud, so I looked at the CPU temp and it's hitting 95-100 degrees at IDLE
Abe.#3344: It's an i5 460m at 2.53ghz, wtf is going on |
TheFifthAce#4128: what program are you using
Abe.#3344: Speccy
TheFifthAce#4128: LOL
TheFifthAce#4128: ok use hwinfo
TheFifthAce#4128: if it's the same temp start worrying and we'll help
Abe.#3344: Does it work for win 7?
TheFifthAce#4128: but speccy is garbage
Abe.#3344: I think I used speccy because of windows 7
TheFifthAce#4128: https://www.hwinfo.com/download/
TheFifthAce#4128: download this
Abe.#3344: I'm pretty sure it's decently accurate tho because as the temp goes up I can hear the fans ramping up.
TheFifthAce#4128: speccy bad
TheFifthAce#4128: download hwinfo
JustinXenyx#8854: speccy is quite shit tho
TheFifthAce#4128: speccy is only okay for like, skylake to coffee 1 |
JustinXenyx#8854: But, it could be a failing cpu fan or dried out TIM @Abe.
TheFifthAce#4128: ^
TheFifthAce#4128: but download hwinfo
Abe.#3344: Dried out TIM is probably it, if it's not I don't think I can fix it lol
TheFifthAce#4128: if it was *actually* hitting 100 degrees, win 7 would shut down
Abe.#3344: Speccy is rightish, same range of temps
TheFifthAce#4128: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
TheFifthAce#4128: replace the thermal paste
TheFifthAce#4128: which model is it
Abe.#3344: I just saw core 1 hit 104°C lol
Abe.#3344: MSI CR720
Abe.#3344: It's turning for some reason tho
Abe.#3344: Idk why
Abe.#3344: *turboing
Abe.#3344: Literally nothing is happening |
TheFifthAce#4128: lol replacing the thermal paste on that should be as easy as taking off the back cover
JustinXenyx#8854: 105C is shut down temp for these chips @TheFifthAce
Abe.#3344: And the T-junction limit is 105°C apparently
Abe.#3344: Yeah lol beat me to it
TheFifthAce#4128: turn it off and replace thermal paste
Abe.#3344: It turbos to 2.8ghz and then drops to 1.1ghz, wtf is going on? Is it an MSI thing?
TheFifthAce#4128: why do you still have it on
TheFifthAce#4128: if the temps are this high
TheFifthAce#4128: you nerd
Abe.#3344: I'll need to order thermal paste, don't have any lol
TheFifthAce#4128: toothpaste
Abe.#3344: Oh shit
TheFifthAce#4128: it works fine for 2-3 days
Abe.#3344: I think the sensor is broken
TheFifthAce#4128: wym |
Abe.#3344: Nvm
Abe.#3344: I saw 1°c and got confused
Abe.#3344: It's distance to TJMAX minimum
Abe.#3344: Oh shit I'm stuck in Windows update and now the fans are just constantly at max speed
Deleted User#0000: Got a laptop here, it turns on the off instantly
Deleted User#0000: Any ideas or suggestions?
MythologicalZ#3752: Thermal issues?Could be dry TP or something
Deleted User#0000: Idk
Deleted User#0000: gives no display or anything
Deleted User#0000: literally the power button ligts up for 1 second
Deleted User#0000: @MythologicalZ
JustinXenyx#8854: what have you tried already? @Deleted User
MythologicalZ#3752: ^
Deleted User#0000: just got it, previous owner said it might be a motherboard issue but doesnt know
JustinXenyx#8854: Take out the battery first then |
Deleted User#0000: Just have
Deleted User#0000: Ive got a spare battery for it
Deleted User#0000: Swapped out the battery for the same result
JustinXenyx#8854: I thought i said clearly to take it out, not to put a different one in lol
Deleted User#0000: ah okay, well i tried a different one lol
Deleted User#0000: okay its out
Deleted User#0000: @JustinXenyx
JustinXenyx#8854: alright, try it now on a charger without battery
Deleted User#0000: Okay
Deleted User#0000: On and off again instantly
JustinXenyx#8854: hmm, must be a short somewhere else then
JustinXenyx#8854: now i'd take it apart slowly, see if there's any visible motherboard damage
Deleted User#0000: okay
Deleted User#0000: will do
Deleted User#0000: say i think it is the motherboard which is damaged |
TheFifthAce#4128: @JustinXenyx https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/593508971676041267/chrome_Lkf3ZpFTox.png
TheGeekster#8508: 😩 oof fuck that's insanely good for the price, that's a relatively newish server
JustinXenyx#8854: smack that BITCH @TheFifthAce
TheGeekster#8508: i'd try and swap out the raid card for a proper H700, H710 though, then the dell would play nicely with it
DarknessFalls229#2286: it isnt the _fastest_ CPU but for 50 bucks...
TheFifthAce#4128: cant I just put an SSD in instead of raid
DarknessFalls229#2286: sure you can
TheGeekster#8508: Yeah but, what ya gonna do on it? and yeah you can just swap the disks out, they're pretty fast disks though, would be good for storing stuff in general
DarknessFalls229#2286: but raid is cooler
TheFifthAce#4128: raid gay!
TheFifthAce#4128: I'll use the drives elsewhere
TheFifthAce#4128: @JustinXenyx he lowered it to 50 and says its available
TheFifthAce#4128: :ultrakek:
TheFifthAce#4128: cop time
TheGeekster#8508: it's SAS drives btw, not sata |
TheGeekster#8508: @TheFifthAce
TheFifthAce#4128: hmmmmmmmm
TheFifthAce#4128: gay!
TheFifthAce#4128: adapter time!
TheFifthAce#4128: @TheGeekster Does it need a raid card to use all three drives? Or can I just leave it without raid but still use it
TheGeekster#8508: Depending on what card is in it, you can set it so HBA mode, or if you don't configure the raid, it'll pass through the drives as standard drives
TheFifthAce#4128: its real meme hours
TheFifthAce#4128: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/593551149114589185/unknown.png
TheFifthAce#4128: finna sell it for 200$
TheFifthAce#4128: @Tech Helper am I able to put normal windows distros (like 10) on this t320?
TheFifthAce#4128: not the above one
TheFifthAce#4128: but same specs, with 3 500gb sas 15k drives
Deinsti#5907: What like a light version of W10?
TheFifthAce#4128: why light, it should run full version?
TheFifthAce#4128: its 6 sandy cores |
TheGeekster#8508: You can, and generally things will work, but there might be an extra driver you need to hunt down here & there
Deinsti#5907: You're mentioning distro's; so I instantly think lite
Lulu#0900: should be able to take win 10
TheGeekster#8508: you'll need a GPU as well, the built in gpu will be awful
TheFifthAce#4128: yeah gonna put a r7 250 or something in
Lulu#0900: ^
Lulu#0900: might want something bit stronger
Lulu#0900: or is that just to start out?
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: 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

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

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 |

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

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 |
TheFifthAce#4128: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/594206475539185674/20190628_124410_HDR.jpg,https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/594206476365725696/20190628_124413.jpg
TheGeekster#8508: probably incorrect drivers, what raid card is in the server?
TheGeekster#8508: and actually, what is the raid setup?
MythologicalZ#3752: Didn't he buy it without a raid card?
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? |
