Alright it's safe..? Ill ask for a pic once we come to an agreement.
Tinybox#9112: @MythologicalZ Ill be picking up the mobo directly at another bois house.
MythologicalZ#3752: Aight
Tinybox#9112: Don't know why I'm so unsure...even though I shipped my X58 stuff, with ram and all, in a box filled with shreddered news papers.
-guy said it worked.
Anyway again thanks a lot for the help.
Tinybox#9112: @JustinXenyx Btw the reason that I'm picking up the stuff like that is because guy with the combo with everything together randomly raised the price on me :FeelsBadMan:
Guy with the i5 6500...sold it, because someone offered higher anyway.
So there will be an i5 3570k shipped to me. (for 30 bucks with shipping)
And possibly an RX 480 if I choose it over the R9 390. (50-70)
And that board we talked about
Tinybox#9112: For the ram ill be getting some no name ram, 8GB (4x2)
Tinybox#9112: heyy would you guys take an i7 2600 over an i5 3570k?
JustinXenyx#8854: Probably
JustinXenyx#8854: Some games are pretty core heavy now and 4 cores aren't really cutting it anymore |
Tinybox#9112: Alright...because there is i7 2600 full PC right now for 55 bucks.
With 10 gigs of ram, and all the other parts.
-- NO HDD
It would be cheaper than what I'd be getting.
Tinybox#9112: Found the tower.
Tinybox#9112: it seems to be a HP
Tinybox#9112: HP Elite 7300
JustinXenyx#8854: skip it
JustinXenyx#8854: knowing HP its probably some hella proprietary shit
Tinybox#9112: judging by this test at least 🤔
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahB7ljwDhSs
The i5 2500k at 5GHz outperforms a stock i7 2600
JustinXenyx#8854: oh wait no
JustinXenyx#8854: apparently it isn't proprietary shite https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/598258945596981261/5203fafe-f80f-51b0-b619-6b4a86277450_large.png
Tinybox#9112: I just took this one here, because its most recent |
Tinybox#9112: I think ill pick up both tbh
Tinybox#9112: I'm building 2 PCs anyway.

SuSSudio#2688: Update to my last discussion "RAM not working on buyer".
So the RAM has been received, i quickly went testing the RAM in my rig, unfortunately the RAM looks dead. no POST or beep either.
I cant believe it.
GoldenSky#4649: And without the RAM inserted it works?
TheFifthAce#4128: I might just be cynical
TheFifthAce#4128: but did you save serial numbers to verify its the same stick
TheFifthAce#4128: because if he has the same type stick, and claims yours is the one that doesnt work, how do you know he didn't do a bamboozle and replace his dead stick for free
SuSSudio#2688: it doesn't show any display without RAM
SuSSudio#2688: but the CPU did heat up
SuSSudio#2688: Yes it is the same stick |
GoldenSky#4649: Is that the only stick of RAM you have?
SuSSudio#2688: Yes it is the only stick
GoldenSky#4649: And if you remove it, do you get any beeps?
SuSSudio#2688: nope, probably my post speaker broke
GoldenSky#4649: Unlikely unless it's physically damaged
GoldenSky#4649: Sounds like your issue might not be RAM related
GoldenSky#4649: Especially if you don't get any beeps with / without RAM
SuSSudio#2688: But i swear it worked the last time i used the PC
SuSSudio#2688: that was like june 26
GoldenSky#4649: If you have any other PC or a friends PC to test that stick of RAM in, do it
SuSSudio#2688: shortly i took out the RAM and put it up for sale
SuSSudio#2688: Yeah i'll find leftover modules
TheGeekster#8508: sounds like it died in transit, happens now and then
Tinybox#9112: how much of a cost difference would there have to be for you to get an r9 290 4gb over an r9 390 8gb
Tinybox#9112: ? |
JustinXenyx#8854: 20-25€ depending on the model
DarknessFalls229#2286: ^
Tinybox#9112: alright btq
Tinybox#9112: "btw
Tinybox#9112: Is a rig with an
i5 4590s
8GB RAM
500GB HDD
WINDOWS 10 blabla.
A HP rig with no properitery stuff it seems motherboard wise at least.
All for 70 bucks inclusive shipping
A good deal?
Tinybox#9112: (for my siblings rig)
JustinXenyx#8854: sounds fine to me
DarknessFalls229#2286: sounds better than the 2600 machine i think |
Tinybox#9112: Alrightyyy, I need to get an R9 290 for 40 bucks or so now. Then a new PSU.
then my brothers rig should be aight.
Tinybox#9112: My rig would be an i5 3570k
8gb of ram as well, storage the same prob gonna add an SSD,
With an R9 390 would total up to 140
Deleted User#0000: just couldnt say no https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/598582488071143425/JPEG_20190710_193250.jpg
Tinybox#9112: OK SO.
@Tech Helper
How much would an i5 3570k rig consume approximately? On stock with an R9 390.
Alcyone#2233: ~400-450w depending on gpu and cpu oc
Alcyone#2233: I used to have a 390x and it would peak over 300w on its own at +50% power limit
Tinybox#9112: I'd leave the gpu on stock and oc the 3570k as far as it will to.
Alcyone#2233: probably around 400w then
Alcyone#2233: best thing for hawaii gpus is undervolt at max power limit
Tinybox#9112: Although then..How much do you think an i5 4460 + rx 570 would eat? |
Alcyone#2233: Like most of amds high end cards
Alcyone#2233: ~250w-300w for that combo
Tinybox#9112: Alright.
@Alcyone How much extra would you pay for an rx 480
Alcyone#2233: over a 570? about $20-30
Tinybox#9112: Over a 390
JustinXenyx#8854: probs 10-20
Tinybox#9112: Alright so I got a limit of 720w for both PCs, think an undervolt at settings close to stock will do the job to reduce power consumption to this level?
JustinXenyx#8854: you'd be at around 700w stock with both rigs tbh
JustinXenyx#8854: but the 390 is overvolted to shit from factory
Tinybox#9112: @JustinXenyx
OK I know im prob asking A LOT.
An R9 390 is faster than an RX 570 4gb
While a 290 is slower than an RX 570 4gb
Tinybox#9112: Correct? |
JustinXenyx#8854: Eh
JustinXenyx#8854: the 390 and 290 are basically the same card, the 390 is just slightly higher clocked and usually comes with double the VRAM
Alcyone#2233: 290 and 390 are almost identical aside from 390 having 8gb vram and at a faster speed, 6000 effective vs 5000
Alcyone#2233: only reason the 390 is faster is its stock voltage is 1.25v so it can run higher default clocks stable. with an afterburner tune they should be about on par as far as the core goes
Alcyone#2233: I beat all my strix 390x clocks and benchmark scores with a 290x lightning
Tinybox#9112: So,
The R9 390 and 290 are basically identical.
Leading the more efficient RX 570 to LEAP forward, in games that don't eat more than 4 gigs of vram.
Alcyone#2233: rx 570 or 580 will be much more manageable in a case without massive airflow
Alcyone#2233: hawaii cards are hothothot and you need to pump that air out of the case or they just recirculate warm air and will run at 90c
Tinybox#9112: Here's a lil question
Does the 4 extra gb of vram rlly help the 390?
Alcyone#2233: in some games at 1440p+ for sure.
Lady Mipha#0611: @Deleted User :Bruhh: that’s a lot of power supplies
Tinybox#9112: @Alcyone What about 1080p? |
Alcyone#2233: probably not as much. I sold mine in 2017 though so I am unsure about the latest stuff
Alcyone#2233: fallout 4 max settings didnt go over 4gb for me at 2560x1440
Alcyone#2233: was around 3.5 max
Alcyone#2233: the cards were struggling for 60fps with those settings though, so it may not be an issue at all when configured for good fps
Tinybox#9112: So I can score an R9 390 60 each (60 only in a combo 65 if not)
But I can get an RX 470 4gb for 35-40 (8gb= 55)
An RX 480/580 4GB is 75.
An 8GB For 80-85.
---Which one would ya get. (My final question, I think)
@Tech Helper
TheGeekster#8508: probably the 580 8gb, it's what ever your budget can do
Alcyone#2233: depends on card models I suppose. I'd get the best I could afford that isnt a blower
Tinybox#9112: What if they are all NITRO +
TheGeekster#8508: *I'd get the best I could afford*
Tinybox#9112: From a value and power stand point 🤔 |
JustinXenyx#8854: Considering i know you're building 2 rigs at a time, wouldn't it be way easier to grab 2 390's? It would be slightly harder on your budget, but you could be moving along way quicker
JustinXenyx#8854: You could probably also score him down to 50 per card if he has them listed long enough
JustinXenyx#8854: Unless you're able to get 2 470 4GB cards for 80, that would be cheaper and more power efficient
Tinybox#9112: I can get 1 RX 470 4GB and then one 8GB, that would total up to 90-95.
JustinXenyx#8854: thats 5-10€ cheaper than going with the 390's and a lot more power/heat friendly
Tinybox#9112: actually it's 25-30 bucks cheaper in that case.
JustinXenyx#8854: if you buy them for 60 per card*
Tinybox#9112: I already talked them down
Tinybox#9112: from 85 down to 60, I don't think he'll budge any harder than that
JustinXenyx#8854: yikes, he was already pretty over priced
Tinybox#9112: yep
Tinybox#9112: Tbh I'm strongly considering completetly ignoring the R9 390s simply because of that power consumption.., because I'd need to buy a used PSU..(ill make sure it wasn't used strongly and is still quite good). Plus I calculated just now the two rigs with the R9 390s would cost 4.51 euros extra to the bill per month, if me and my brother play on it every day Thursday-Sunday 6 hours.
Tinybox#9112: I'd yeet an RX 470 for my bro, over here and get an RX 480 8GB for myself.
Tinybox#9112: Because he was a dick, when we were buying games of course 😄
Tinybox#9112: Oh btw do you know when the lower end navi cards are gonna come? @JustinXenyx |
JustinXenyx#8854: AMD didn't say anything about low end navi yet
JustinXenyx#8854: sure it'll come, but they haven't said anything about specs, prices, release dates etc
Bogi76#3090: hmm should i get RX 580 8GB....
Rysing Dragoon#5628: Fellas
Rysing Dragoon#5628: What's a good 240gb SSD for under $30?
SuSSudio#2688: The fucking RAM. worked. last method i used, rubbing the contacts with a tissue

Lady Mipha#0611: oof
SuSSudio#2688: Alright now i can confirm that my RAM **Still works fine**
SuSSudio#2688: Finna cop an LGA 1156 board + i3 530 or Xeon X3430 so i can replicate the issue the buyer faced
TheFifthAce#4128: @Rysing Dragoon x3 sunbow
Tinybox#9112: @JustinXenyx
Ya said you'd take an RX 580 4GB over an R9 390, I just managed to get an RX 580 down to 70.
Should I go for that? And then yeet an RX 470 4gb for my sibling, totalling to 110, so 10 less than the two r9 390s. |
TheGeekster#8508: Look at bench marks, compare the two
MythologicalZ#3752: 580 will run on a way worse PSU and doesn't run nearly as hot
MythologicalZ#3752: So I agree with justin there
Tinybox#9112: Alright.
Tinybox#9112: @MythologicalZ
Think I can run an RX 470 on Molex?
MythologicalZ#3752: What PSU?
Tinybox#9112: ALRIGHT so there is a cheap HP I5 4590 pc..
But the motherboard is prop. So I can't use another PSU than what's in it.
Tinybox#9112: "HP Elitedesk 700 G1 MT"
MythologicalZ#3752: It doesn't even have molex
MythologicalZ#3752: And its 240w

navibu#8748: Anyone have the problem with xbox overlay app?
navibu#8748: Before that i play league with 150+ fps
navibu#8748: But after that the fps is nearly the monitor's refresh rate
navibu#8748: And the game stutter
Alcyone#2233: I got a free pc that had an asus dcii gtx 560 running off molex and it was alive for years. But I'm not so sure about that psu
Tinybox#9112: RTX 2080Ti + R5 2600 over a more balanced config?
Ryzen 2700 + RTX 2080
---for le gamer only
TheGeekster#8508: the 2080ti would mean you wouldn't have to upgrade the gpu for a while, but you'd have to consider upgrading the cpu later down the line maybe, and vice versa for the other way around
Tinybox#9112: oops
Tinybox#9112: I mean't Ryzen 2700 + RTX 2080 @TheGeekster
Tinybox#9112: my bad
JustinXenyx#8854: how about Ryzen 3600 + 2080 Ti?
Tinybox#9112: Can't :/
TheGeekster#8508: don't... quite get what ya askin |
Tinybox#9112: Yeaa, Ryzen 2700 + RTX 2080 over RTX 2080Ti + R5 2600.
That's the question d:
JustinXenyx#8854: whats the budget you're shooting for? i quickly wanna check something @Tinybox
Alcyone#2233: used 1080ti and 2600 +beer
TheGeekster#8508: ^^^
Tinybox#9112: le 1400, d:
Guy only cares about perfomance nothing else.
Alcyone#2233: or 2070 super instead of the 2080, pretty close performance for $200-300 less
TheGeekster#8508: then tell him to get a 3700x and a 2080ti... if this guy genuinely wants to burn that much money let him
Tinybox#9112: For germany right now,
Tinybox#9112: Can't do a full PC with an RTX 2080TI, with a CPU over 130.
Tinybox#9112: For 1400
TheGeekster#8508: or a prebuilt would probably make more sense, if he's asking about components he's clearly not looking them up, benchmarks, etc, he's not putting the effort in 🤔
JustinXenyx#8854: 1400€ or USD?
Tinybox#9112: 1400 euro |
JustinXenyx#8854: thats EVEN BETTER :Hahahahaha:
Alcyone#2233: 2070 super, 3600x, $300 in useless rgb
Tinybox#9112: 🆗
Alcyone#2233: dont forget the case with a solid front panel, wouldnt want any air getting in
Tinybox#9112: https://geizhals.de/?cat=WL-1250721
Tinybox#9112: :GWlulurdMegaLul:
TheGeekster#8508: RGB allows you to cool components more because you're using electricity to produce light outside of the components thus allowing more airflow around the light to take away the heat using less power.
TheGeekster#8508: "Wishlist is not available or not publicly available."
Tinybox#9112: my bad
Tinybox#9112: https://geizhals.de/?cat=WL-1250721
Alcyone#2233: I set my rgb to red and blast nickelback for the best performance
Tinybox#9112: RGB can play music :GWczeWhat:
give me one that can use it's rays to play music
JustinXenyx#8854: no, just no @Tinybox
Tinybox#9112: @JustinXenyx yea I know :GWlulurdMegaLul: |
I think an RTX 2080 + R5 3600 would be better.
Alcyone#2233: fun fact: the first nickelback concert was only 5c a ticket, everyone asked for their nickel back. hence the bands name
Tinybox#9112: And better parts all around
TheGeekster#8508: I'd honestly pull back on the GPU and upgrade the SSD to nvme, the motherboard is... *eh*
TheGeekster#8508: the gpu is just... daft at this price point, to actually use it 100% you'd need to pump a lot more money into a system
JustinXenyx#8854: just a quick q, when will your friend buy the system? @Tinybox
Alcyone#2233: 1000 eur gpu, 30 quid psu :Xdxdxd:
Tinybox#9112: apparently in a month or so.
JustinXenyx#8854: because in the best case when your friend will buy the system there would be custom models of the 5700XT
Tinybox#9112: uhh hes anti radeon :GWmemetownKappaChino:
Alcyone#2233: let him eat cake
TheGeekster#8508: Tell him to stop asking for advice and build it himself?
JustinXenyx#8854: i never get why people think like that
Tinybox#9112: No worries ill order fresh cake for him :Oof:
TheGeekster#8508: Because people just like to jump on hype train after hype train for *the next big thing* |
Tinybox#9112: @JustinXenyx I don't know either.
Tinybox#9112: he says "the new navi series was a huge dissapointment to me, I will not buy it"
TheGeekster#8508: "the new navi series was a huge dissapointment to some youtubers that I watch"
JustinXenyx#8854: as if the 2070S and 2060S were that much better
TheGeekster#8508: let's be honest
JustinXenyx#8854: Navi is killing it for the cash, we just need custom cards
Tinybox#9112: I like NAVI Too, I'm looking at the non XT one though.
JustinXenyx#8854: the 5700 has a clock limit apparently and until we can know for sure if its unlockable or not i won't really recommend it
JustinXenyx#8854: unless it fits the budget and oc isn't needed/an option
TheGeekster#8508: I think they said it's locked OC from factory? :JeffreyIsThinking: but you can OC as a consumer? be interesting to get one anyway
Tinybox#9112: Btw isn't the
"Super Flower Golden Green Pro 650W"
a good PSU? It landed on Tier 2 if I remember, on the last tomshardware PSU list or so @Alcyone
JustinXenyx#8854: its a decent psu, ye

and my CPU is only connected using a loose pin I put into the socket I think it's time for a new Motherboard, Ideally, it should be using the x570 Chipset (the newest one and the best one for high-end CPUs)
and shouldn't cost more than 350€ (the absolute max I can save up for a motherboard in less than a year)
the Fan, on the other hand, is basically completely unimportant (any fan that doesn't cost more than 30€ should be fine)
I hope some of you can help me with this issue (I would really appreciate it)

Tinybox#9112: prime b350 and b450 series..
makes me kinda sad :FeelsBadMan:
Alcyone#2233: the x570 tuf is using the maximus XI z390 vrm
JustinXenyx#8854: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/qFh9fH @Tinybox This is a rough draft i have right now, its 1275€ leaving enough for a custom 5700XT or a 2070S once those sell here in germany
JustinXenyx#8854: the TCSunBow X3 sounds hella sketch at first, but its a pretty decent low-budget SSD (and was the cheapest 1TB that didn't suck Phison S11)
TheGeekster#8508: Holy shit, they really were conservative with the 5700XT weren't they? can't wait to see the after market coolers
JustinXenyx#8854: yeah, AM cards are gonna fucking nail it @TheGeekster
MythologicalZ#3752: Stock is conservative
MythologicalZ#3752: Once you mess with it enough
MythologicalZ#3752: Card flys |

MythologicalZ#3752: Steal one off a dead R9 card :OmegaxD:
MythologicalZ#3752: https://youtu.be/Ud8Bco0dk6Q
MythologicalZ#3752: Or mod the the cooler
Alcyone#2233: id just wait for aib cards so it has proper vrm cooling, or use an accelero etc. it has the same 58x58 mount as almost all recent nvidia cards

TheGeekster#8508: Aye, his content is good but his voice can make the most exciting thing seem dull, it's very monotone, still watch some of hids vids tho
Prec1sioN#8040: I just noticed that it would be cheaper to get an x470 board instead of an x570 board
TheGeekster#8508: yep probably would be, x470 boards are older and don't have the latest features
Alcyone#2233: if it doesnt have bios flashback you will need a 1st or 2nd gen zen chip to update bios before runnin r3k on 400 chipsets
TheGeekster#8508: most compatible with the ryzen 3k too |
Prec1sioN#8040: well I have a zen 1 Ryzen 5 1500x but it has a missing pin
Prec1sioN#8040: should still work
Alcyone#2233: if it posts its good enough
Prec1sioN#8040: I have been using this CPU with a missing pin for 3 years
Alcyone#2233: msi and asus have boards that can flash with no cpu as well
Prec1sioN#8040: good to know
TheGeekster#8508: an x570 board WILL NOT work with a Ryzen 1500X
TheGeekster#8508: new motherboards aren't working with older cpu's afaik due to major changes @Prec1sioN
JustinXenyx#8854: no, its just left to the manufacturers to support 1st gen ryzen afaik
TheGeekster#8508: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/597436367055880192/2019-05-30-image-23.png
TheGeekster#8508: Nope, 1000 series isn't supported at all on X570, it's up to manufactures if x370 & b350 can support 3000
Alcyone#2233: amd not like intel, there is no official support but mfgs can add it.
giga a320s support 3000 cpus
TheGeekster#8508: aye but it's the other way around 🤔 i imagine it's harder to force backwards compatibility of like pcie4 vs older cpu's that don't have that |
MythologicalZ#3752: There is pcie 4.0 on x470
MythologicalZ#3752: Ik the Taichi and Crosshair have it
TheGeekster#8508: aye, but that probably took a lot of effort to try and fit in backwards compatibilty, if they didn't have to, they could probably save a lot of time & effort
Alcyone#2233: I was gonna say there is a possibility for pcie 4 on 400 boards and 500 chipset works with 3.0 gpus just fine. earlier zen on x570/b550 could maybe be a thing
TheGeekster#8508: maybe, i just think they want to try and reduce the effort and R&D that has to go in to backwards compat
TheGeekster#8508: that does take away the whole "yes AM4 is the socket we're staying on" if it suddenly becomes about the chipset tho
Alcyone#2233: better to be locked out of going backwards than forwards at least. you can still grab an x470/b450 and run the 3k later with no board change. Looking at you Intel.
TheGeekster#8508: aye, especially when it's artificial, where there's no *new* features
JustinXenyx#8854: With Intel the chinese figured out how to run 9th gen chips on H110 atleast lol
Alcyone#2233: 1151 has 2 revisions. rumored 10th gen will be on new 1159 socket even though its the same 14nm lake cores
Alcyone#2233: meanwhile am4 goes from 28nm to 7nm

Jam#0384: some sorta dell oem nightmare
TheGTGeek#4898: I need help here
Lady Mipha#0611: What seems to be the problem
JustinXenyx#8854: I think you could start a little nicer and more detailed than that, but what do you need help with, exactly?
TheGTGeek#4898: I upgraded the RAM in my pc this morning to 8gb, win 10 only registers 3.97gb of it
TheGTGeek#4898: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/599113730462318615/JPEG_20190712_174357.jpg
JustinXenyx#8854: Are you running 32bit or 64Bit windows?
TheGTGeek#4898: 64 bit
JustinXenyx#8854: 64Bit, do you run any extra graphics that are not in your APU?
JustinXenyx#8854: Because maybe the APU's graphics unit is just pulling all the extra memory
TheGTGeek#4898: I have a dedicated graphics card in my system
JustinXenyx#8854: Still, maybe you can take a quick look in the BIOS and see if anything related to graphics memory has changed there?
TheGTGeek#4898: Give me a moment
TheGTGeek#4898: Where should I look?
JustinXenyx#8854: Uhm, for my MSI board on an A8 6600k it was where the overclocking settings were located |
TheGTGeek#4898: Nothing there, only to overclock my memory
JustinXenyx#8854: Hmm, just look around then, you'll find it eventually
TheGTGeek#4898: Still can't find anything in my bios
GoldenSky#4649: What do you see in your BIOS?
TheGTGeek#4898: If it makes anything easier, I am using an ASRock FM2A55-DGS N2.0
Lady Mipha#0611: Could be that hardware reserved memory has changed @TheGTGeek
Lady Mipha#0611: Which would require a bios reset
TheGTGeek#4898: I've reset the bios a few times
TheGTGeek#4898: Hasn't done anything
TheGTGeek#4898: oddly enough though, whenever i removed my old stick of ram, it recognises a full 4 gb of ram
boog#9487: Good deal? (I already have a i7 4770 so that’s why I’m going 1150) https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F143311056206
boog#9487: I’m using a i7 3770 right now and a dell motherboard the main reason I want to upgrade is because I my cooler I have on there is terrible as it is a stock one and is proprietary and I have a i7 4770 I found in the dump
TheFifthAce#4128: huh
TheFifthAce#4128: 50$ doesnt seem that awful

Tinybox#9112: I feel like pulling the trigger on this R9 390 8gb for 60 bucks, because I won't be able to get the RX 580 4gb for 10 bucks more after quick calculations.
Tinybox#9112: Alright...
here's the plan with hopefully some luck |
Z68 Board: (ALREADY BOUGHT=25 euro, sells for: 55-65)
CPU (i5 3570k guy won't budge any lower it seems)= 30 euro
PSU (I hope I can pickup one of em decent be quiets that pop up, from time to time for cheap)= 10-15 euro.
CASE: FREE
RAM: 8GB 5 euro (prob generic ram plus I got a 2gb stick around)
GPU: (R9 390 8GB or RX 580 4gb 60-70 Euro)
Storage: (I got a 750GB HDD at home, but let's just say 10 bucks for an SSD and a 750-1000GB HDD +60-120gb SSD depends)
Tinybox#9112: (60 euro with shipping for the r9 390)
russ_the_b#5525: yeah so i have this very weird problem with my display from what i tested the monitor is fine and gpu is fine
russ_the_b#5525: i have a hp compaq 6300 with an i3 3220 and a gtx 750 unfortunately my monitor is old so i have to use an adaptor from dvi to vga
russ_the_b#5525: for some weird reason whenever power is cut (like pc is already shut down but still plugged to the wall ) when i go to power it up again after power is back
TheFifthAce#4128: what
russ_the_b#5525: i hear a beep and the monitor takes time till it boots
TheFifthAce#4128: yes
TheFifthAce#4128: thats normal for some monitors |
TheFifthAce#4128: my monitor does that
russ_the_b#5525: and there is green and purple lines
russ_the_b#5525: and res is fucked
TheFifthAce#4128: that is less normal
TheFifthAce#4128: are drivers installed and updated
russ_the_b#5525: yes
TheFifthAce#4128: wait you said vga monitor
russ_the_b#5525: yes
TheFifthAce#4128: ok thats your issue
russ_the_b#5525: but if i reboot it works
TheFifthAce#4128: :ThonkOrMiss:
TheFifthAce#4128: hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
TheFifthAce#4128: tell windows to never sleep!
russ_the_b#5525: Dude the problem isnt when windows is asleep
russ_the_b#5525: its when it loses power from the wall |
Xbox 360 1953#2640: Does the power go out?
Xbox 360 1953#2640: Like, regularly
russ_the_b#5525: not regularly
russ_the_b#5525: but because its summer then its more often
russ_the_b#5525: like my monitor is 1600x900 when the problem happens it goes to 1024x748
russ_the_b#5525: and horizontal green and purple lines appear
russ_the_b#5525: if i reboot after that it works
russ_the_b#5525: no beep no lines no fucked res
Deleted User#0000: Ok so my desktop has issues where my nvidia drivers won't install so im stuck with windows basic drivers
Deleted User#0000: is says something like configuration data base corrupted
Deleted User#0000: and i've tried reinstalling windows but it errors
MythologicalZ#3752: @TheFifthAce yeah I saw it on tomshw too
TheGeekster#8508: @russ_the_b It's a bit late but when a monitor is working properly, it talks to the computer to tell it what resolutions it supports, I'd suggest turning the computer off, unplug the monitor from vga & power, wait a bit, plug it back in, then reboot?
russ_the_b#5525: nonono it always goes back to normal after a reboot but when it was acting up i noticed something in the drivers
russ_the_b#5525: it was detecting the card i think because the driver said microsoft windows display |
russ_the_b#5525: 1 hz refresh rate and some other stuff
russ_the_b#5525: i rebooted and it worked
russ_the_b#5525: it detects the card and everything is fine
russ_the_b#5525: but this happens everytime wall power is unplugged from the pc
TheGeekster#8508: awh fuck sorry i missed your last message where you said you fixed it, and yeah it's because the monitor and the computer lose communication
TheGeekster#8508: there's not really a way of fixing it, it'll be an issue between the monitor, dvi to vga adapter and gpu that'll cause it
russ_the_b#5525: i would assume its the adapter because before i bought my pc it worked fine on a dvi monitor
Deleted User#0000: ive got a pc which turns on for about 40 seconds and then goes off?. Gives no display aswell
Deleted User#0000: Also beeps twice but i think thats for no keyboard
Tinybox#9112: ....Hmm..
Tinybox#9112: Motherboard maybe?
Ram error?
Deleted User#0000: gonna try swap the ram around
Deleted User#0000: stil not working correctly
Deleted User#0000: @Tinybox if the processor is the issue, would the board even boot up? |
Tinybox#9112: I mean maybe...it depends on how badly it's damaged 🤔
JustinXenyx#8854: "would the boot even boot up" what
Tinybox#9112: you know the usual conclusion for something like this is mobo broke
Tinybox#9112: 🤔
Deleted User#0000: probably
Deleted User#0000: because i got the processor out of a box of screws and razor blades but it doesnt look damaged idk
russ_the_b#5525: contact pads on the cpu could have been scuffed which lead to borking it
Bertie Kemp#1114: What would be the best CPU for my motherboard (m5a78l-m-usb3) would a fx-8350 be okay? Even tho the mobo only has a 4 pin cpu power?
DarknessFalls229#2286: tbh i wouldnt try to get 8 cores on that board, You should move to 1155, get something like a i7 2600
Bertie Kemp#1114: I only have about £40 to upgrade with that board, so I was wondering what the best cpu for that board would be
DarknessFalls229#2286: try to find a decent 6 core phenom and you should be good for a while
Bertie Kemp#1114: What about fx?
DarknessFalls229#2286: i say big no due to architecture
DarknessFalls229#2286: 8 "cores", games arent always able to utilize those cores properly
DarknessFalls229#2286: even windows sees it as 4 cores 8 threads |
JustinXenyx#8854: yeah, because AMD's FX cores aren't considered proper cores
JustinXenyx#8854: Its like they have the physical cores on them, but every 2 cores share resources making it essentially overkill hyperthreading
Alcyone#2233: Every pair of cores shares a floating point unit. Floating point math is what games need, so they aren't great with those loads. It's like reverse hyperthreading 8 cores, 4 threads lol
Bertie Kemp#1114: So is it not worth getting a fx 8 core then?
Bertie Kemp#1114: At least not with the motherboard I have? I have a GTX 970 and dont wanna bottleneck it
JustinXenyx#8854: you'll be bottlenecking it either way @Bertie Kemp
JustinXenyx#8854: but i agree with @DarknessFalls229, your mobo's CPU power delivery is way to shit for a decent 6 core phenom or 8 core FX
TheGeekster#8508: Yep, unfortunately it's going to be a save up and don't waste your money on it tbh, you won't see much benefits
TheGeekster#8508: I went from an AMD phenom II X6 1055T to a i5-4590, and holy shit the i5 was a million times faster
Deleted User#0000: so everyone is gonna ignore the fact that i have a issue with my pc?
Alcyone#2233: maybe we dont know how to fix it
JustinXenyx#8854: @Deleted User If we don't answer a question within 3-4 hours chances are 1. no one has seen the question 2. we don't know a solution to the question or 3. it got flooded over with other questions
JustinXenyx#8854: Best bet if that happens is to just repost it after that time
Xbox 360 1953#2640: are delta psus good?
JustinXenyx#8854: they're usually decent @Xbox 360 1953 |
Xbox 360 1953#2640: alright
Xbox 360 1953#2640: Is it usual for them to be priced at like 15 usd?
DarknessFalls229#2286: 3200 watt priced at 15 dollars?!?!?!
Xbox 360 1953#2640: wHat
DarknessFalls229#2286: ||no but really, depends on what wattage||
JustinXenyx#8854: yeah, a lot of them are just taken right out of servers and/or computers and sold on, explaining the cheap price @Xbox 360 1953
Xbox 360 1953#2640: Thanks
DarknessFalls229#2286: thats the reason some servers are pretty cheap, companies need to get rid of them and sell them en mass. but you lose some enthusiast features
DarknessFalls229#2286: So for PSUs in THAT regard, good reliability, but probably lesser connectors
Xbox 360 1953#2640: I've been looking for a psu for my secondary pc and I've found one with both sata and molex. also has a six pin which is enough for me
DarknessFalls229#2286: if it has enough watts, sure
Xbox 360 1953#2640: 460
Xbox 360 1953#2640: I don't see myself doing much with it though
DarknessFalls229#2286: Then it ought to be more than enough
Xbox 360 1953#2640: good |
Xbox 360 1953#2640: I just want to not have an improper size psu in its case
DarknessFalls229#2286: Nothing wrong with overkill
Xbox 360 1953#2640: currently i have a tfx psu inside the pc because its the only psu i have with molex
DarknessFalls229#2286: How do you have only one psu with molex? Pretty much ALL my psus have molex
Xbox 360 1953#2640: i don't have many
Xbox 360 1953#2640: i have like 4 or 5
Xbox 360 1953#2640: two of those are tfx, one is a dell 275w without molex
Xbox 360 1953#2640: another one is a dell 300w but the 24pin is too short
Xbox 360 1953#2640: and my last one is in my main pc, no molex
XSpaTanx117X#0117: So um I think some of you might be interested in this
TheGeekster#8508: ???
XSpaTanx117X#0117: I have a unknown graphics card in my pc
XSpaTanx117X#0117: And it's connected with an unconventional method

XSpaTanx117X#0117: I need a new PSU apparently

TheFifthAce#4128: ngl
TheFifthAce#4128: I want this
Lady Mipha#0611: Me too
Tinybox#9112: Actuallyyy. |
Tinybox#9112: Would getting an RX 570 8/4GB be better than an R9 390 8GB? If the R9 390 is 10 bucks moar
DarknessFalls229#2286: id say yes, mostly considering that the 570 uses much less power
DarknessFalls229#2286: but for raw performance, id guess the r9 390
JustinXenyx#8854: the 570 is more power efficient and will get driver updates for way longer than the 390
Tinybox#9112: That's quite true, the RX 470/570 also still have warranty
Tinybox#9112: from their respective vendors.
Tinybox#9112: aaaa THE R9 390 IS SEXY AS FRICK.
But I think ill try score a combo deal for one RX 570 4GB and one RX 580 4GB for 120 euros.
Tinybox#9112: Although power consumption doesn't matter to me as much, simply because I have a quite clear cap for both rigs.
But who knows driver updates might improve the RX 570 to a point where the R9 390 gets beaten by it @JustinXenyx
Tinybox#9112: Plus I mean I could chance it, but I know for fact, finding a PSU for the R9 390 for 10 bucks won't be easy
Tinybox#9112: the RX 570 and 580 cards only have a year of warranty left though
DarknessFalls229#2286: Alright guys, what a good free antivirus fow win7, or do you reckon i dont need one. Also is it smart to flash mobo bios via windows?
TheGeekster#8508: well, i'd say windows defender but that's about to stop
Tinybox#9112: @DarknessFalls229 Avast Anti virus FREE still scores incredibly high (but it's annoying as fuck) |
Kaspersky also doesn't do a bad job.
Bitdefender still is epic.
DarknessFalls229#2286: alright
DarknessFalls229#2286: ill take a look at kaspersky
Tinybox#9112: aight
Tinybox#9112: @DarknessFalls229 On the mobo bios thing.
Apparently it's straight up safer to do ***not within an OS***
DarknessFalls229#2286: yeah, but my other options were like linux or dos
DarknessFalls229#2286: so /shrug
Tinybox#9112: meh, I think I'd take dos 🤔
Tinybox#9112: to flash it
Tinybox#9112: Personally at least,
DarknessFalls229#2286: wait i think i got freedos on my usb stick
DarknessFalls229#2286: maybe i should just update bios and then move to windows 10
DarknessFalls229#2286: cause i think i borked up windows update |
Tinybox#9112: @JustinXenyx yo dude..should I buy a 9 year old professional display? It's IPS
HNP zr24w for 15 bucks per piece?
Tinybox#9112: @DarknessFalls229 oof
Tinybox#9112: how'd y mess up?
DarknessFalls229#2286: dunno
DarknessFalls229#2286: but it had done most of the updates already anyway
DarknessFalls229#2286: so its not like i dont have all the updates
JustinXenyx#8854: i'd buy it, probably still beats a lot of cheaper 1080p monitors from today @Tinybox
DarknessFalls229#2286: though 9 years is a lot of age for a monitor
DarknessFalls229#2286: unless it has had low use
TheFifthAce#4128: @JustinXenyx https://pcpartpicker.com/product/3XXfrH/deepcool-cpu-cooler-neptwinv20
this would definitely be better but I don't know how I would install it on am4, it says am4 compatible but :Thonking:
Tinybox#9112: Well my entire plan just got fucked up.
CPU guy I was talking to, the next day: |
All 7 listings on account gone.
Radio silence?
Luckily I didn't pay him any money yet.
Tinybox#9112: :Oof:
LuminousFuture#5919: Does this mean that the upgrade is free if it doesnt show the price even hitting the install button? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/600258328777719839/unknown.png
TheGeekster#8508: That's upgrading from Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro, the upgrade is not free
LuminousFuture#5919: does the price only show up when you install it then?
TheGeekster#8508: Why do you need to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro? The only advantages are certain features that are not available in home
LuminousFuture#5919: Well im mostly curious because i think i got windows 10 pro back when they were upgrading 7 keys for free, cause i had windows 7 ultimate, but when i bought this computer it had 10 home installed on it
LuminousFuture#5919: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/600260093153640448/unknown.png
TheGeekster#8508: Did you install windows yourself? Or was it preinstalled by the seller?
TheGeekster#8508: Sorry for the slow replies I'm at work
LuminousFuture#5919: It was a system bought second hand, it had windows 10 on it, but I have a Key assigned to my Microsoft account
Deleted User#0000: then it's fine
Deleted User#0000: if the key if from the win 7 ultimate then it'll be gucci |
Deleted User#0000: if not, i have pro keys
TheGeekster#8508: Ahhhh right, yeah it's your key then not theirs. Honestly there's no real difference between pro and home unless you *need* some of the pro features that are mostly aimed at business anyway
TheGeekster#8508: There's no performance boost or anything
LuminousFuture#5919: Looking at it, it really doesnt give me as much usability as 7 ultimate vs 7 home, but If i ever have to do another fresh install, ill probably do it then
LuminousFuture#5919: thanks lads
TheGeekster#8508: No probs, they did stop gimping windows quite so hard with windows 10 thank god
Tinybox#9112: Ah fuck
Tinybox#9112: My Laptop randomly shutdown
Tinybox#9112: 3 times
Tinybox#9112: Ill Backup the data to Disc, because I lost my external HDD to USB.
Tinybox#9112: Oooo.
So my Board is an ASRock Z63 pro3 gen3
Soo the vrm is quite weakish, (ill have a small 40mm pwm Fan on it)
I Can get an i5 3570k for 30-35 Euros....+R9 390.
Or I Can get an i5 2500k + RX 580 4GB |
What do I do?
Tinybox#9112: @Tech Helper
MythologicalZ#3752: 2500K and 580 imo
MythologicalZ#3752: 390 just pulls way too much power
TheGeekster#8508: Either one would work fine, why not the i5 3570k with a 580?
Tinybox#9112: Out of the super tight budget
Tinybox#9112: By 10-15 bucks
Tinybox#9112: The RX 580 is 10 bucks more than the r9 390
killah#6020: tell yer mum to give u 15 bucks or ul slap her in the heed
TheGeekster#8508: i'd suggest not going back quite as far as the 2500k, they're getting a bit, slow now, but is it impossible to just save up $10 over the next month?
Tinybox#9112: While the 2500k is 10 bucks less.
killah#6020: i got 2x 15 3570k r9390 pcs lol
killah#6020: if ye need a benchmark lol
Tinybox#9112: @TheGeekster I would..
But I Really dont want to...havent had a pc since last year november |
Plus since I'm on holiday, I get no Pocket money.
@killah I already exploited my parents quite hard and gained a +50 and a possible +20
killah#6020: hehe damn
killah#6020: id still get the newer cpu
killah#6020: get outside knock about the street help old people one o them will eventully pay u summit
Tinybox#9112: Well power consumption isnt a tooo Big issue, as I got a clear power cap of 750w for two rigs.
Any extra Consumed power ill adjust with an UV.
Tinybox#9112: @killah
And ye Benchmarks would be awesome
Tinybox#9112: Ah...The RX 580 still has 1 years warranty..
killah#6020: damn u should jst hold out a week or so see if any luck comes ur way maybe get few more quid
Tinybox#9112: Well I Can play the dick head and cut my brothers Budget a 2nd time
Tinybox#9112: Actually..are there any particular reasons to go ivy?
@TheGeekster @MythologicalZ
MythologicalZ#3752: Shrinked node and better IPC |
Tinybox#9112: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/600304170037411852/20190715_143415.jpg
Tinybox#9112: Well the reason I even was like "ye 3570k"
Is becsude of this..Sub par vrm
Tinybox#9112: And I'll assume I'll get a max of 4.5ghz with a 2500k.
With the i5 3570k I can reach the same at less VOLT?
@MythologicalZ
Tinybox#9112: To reduce stress on the vrm
TheGeekster#8508: Generally the newer the better, and why do you care about the VRM? it's rated at 95W TDP cpu's, yours is like 75W... people put far too much in "oh the vrm this, vrm that" it works with what it's rated for, if you care about "super high quality" vrm's like gamers nexus bangs on about, be prepared to pay ALOT more
Tinybox#9112: Ah well then.
Tinybox#9112: I'll ghost the R9 390 guy, or just tell him I found a better offer.
And I'll shot for the 2500k + RX 580 4gb then.
First off all I'll give the 2500k guy a call
JustinXenyx#8854: Just because a chip is newer doesn't mean you'll be able to reach similar clock speeds at less voltage while overclocking. If the chip is from a shit bin it will probably draw even more power than the older chip at the same clock speeds
JustinXenyx#8854: TDP is a thermal thing, it doesn't really work as to rate a VRM, just because your CPU is supposed to have a TDP output of 90W, doesn't mean it actually draws 90W
TheGeekster#8508: (Sorry if i sounded rude, i'm just sick to death about the whole VRM craze thing now, VRM's are designed to supply the amount of power they are designed to supply) |
TheGeekster#8508: Aye, but you can't get more heat out than you put energy in, I use TDP as "the worst possible case scenario" i know cpu's rare use anywhere near it
Tinybox#9112: No worries it didnt sound rude, y'all are helping me.
So it's alright.
Again thank you both @JustinXenyx @TheGeekster
Tinybox#9112: Alright got the i5 2500k guy.
Tinybox#9112: Now I need to get back to the RX 580 guy
Tinybox#9112: alright got both secured now.
Tinybox#9112: I feel bad now, for the R9 390 guy, as I kinda kept the talk down thing with ghosting for like 6 days :haha:
the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: fan speed at 75% all the time is this bad for my card
TheGeekster#8508: not overly, will just wear your bearings in the fan out a little faster
the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: reason is i changed thermal paste
the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: and thermals were good
the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: but thing started heating a weak later or so
the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: so i set the fans to 75
the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: temps good |
the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: but im not so sure about its life tho
qpod#1603: Hi I recently bought a used hp 3500 mt (to upgrade with 1050ti) however when I switched it on it did not connect to WiFi - do I need to buy one of those wifi cards so that I can connect to the internet?
SanteRaptor#2609: It seems that your config didnt come with a wireless adapter so yes, you need to buy either a external card which is like 11€ for a one with a proper antennae (doont buy the smol ones) or an internal which are usually way more expensive so i dont suggest that option.
Or if you got a router close to you you could use a ethernet cable
SanteRaptor#2609: @qpod
DarknessFalls229#2286: use either ethernet OR a Wifi adapter, either PCIe 1x/16x, PCI or USB
qpod#1603: Thx
SanteRaptor#2609: Youre welcome

DarknessFalls229#2286: sure
DarknessFalls229#2286: dunno about the quality though
qpod#1603: Ok 👍
XSpaTanx117X#0117: @Tech Helper Opinions on the thermaltake smart 600w?
JustinXenyx#8854: shit @XSpaTanx117X |
XSpaTanx117X#0117: Shit
XSpaTanx117X#0117: Already bought it
TheFifthAce#4128: @XSpaTanx117X literally worse than VS
TheFifthAce#4128: return it
TheFifthAce#4128: they're HEC units, which fail a fucking lot
XSpaTanx117X#0117: Hasn't arrived yet
TheFifthAce#4128: then make a return thing
TheFifthAce#4128: in whatever online store you did it from
XSpaTanx117X#0117: Any suggestions on a 600w?
TheFifthAce#4128: what hardware are you powering @XSpaTanx117X
TheFifthAce#4128: and which country are you
TheFifthAce#4128: and what is the budget
XSpaTanx117X#0117: No rosewill my 600w was DOA
TheFifthAce#4128: duh
JustinXenyx#8854: Why do you even need 600w? |
XSpaTanx117X#0117: Around 50
TheFifthAce#4128: what hardware do you have
TheFifthAce#4128: what country are you
XSpaTanx117X#0117: USA
TheFifthAce#4128: ok
TheFifthAce#4128: we'll get there eventually
TheFifthAce#4128: what hardware do you have
XSpaTanx117X#0117: I have a unknown graphics card
TheFifthAce#4128: that doesnt fucking help
TheFifthAce#4128: does it work?
XSpaTanx117X#0117: I know
XSpaTanx117X#0117: Yes
TheFifthAce#4128: do you have a machine with it?
TheFifthAce#4128: does it have a sticker on it or any letters or numbers?
TheFifthAce#4128: here, lets simplify |
TheFifthAce#4128: take a picture.
TheFifthAce#4128: Of the front and back of the card.
XSpaTanx117X#0117: Card isn't with me I have a pic of the die
XSpaTanx117X#0117: One sec
TheFifthAce#4128: sure
wapted#6788: *shows gtx 480 die*

TheFifthAce#4128: gts 450
TheFifthAce#4128: I think
wapted#6788: oh dear
XSpaTanx117X#0117: Okay that's a 400w min right
TheFifthAce#4128: well see
wapted#6788: literally a crappy shitey 300watt dumpster fire of a psu would power that
MythologicalZ#3752: No point in getting a new PSU if thats your card |
MythologicalZ#3752: Get a better GPU first
TheFifthAce#4128: nah I dont think thats a gts 450
TheFifthAce#4128: I think it is
TheFifthAce#4128: it might be
wapted#6788: and yes its a gts 450
TheFifthAce#4128: ok cool
wapted#6788: or is it
wapted#6788: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/600679337687253030/83-gf106-250-ka-a1.png
wapted#6788: looks the same
MythologicalZ#3752: Images are borked for me atm
TheFifthAce#4128: @wapted that doesnt look at all the same
DarknessFalls229#2286: no shit looks the same
JustinXenyx#8854: nah, the numbers/codes on the die don't match at all @wapted
DarknessFalls229#2286: all die look the same
JustinXenyx#8854: But resistors look similar |
DarknessFalls229#2286: its the numbers that counts
wapted#6788: The die and package are the same
wapted#6788: exactly the same, but ye for what gpu it rlly is
wapted#6788: one second
XSpaTanx117X#0117: This is why I want to get a beefy power supply just in case
TheFifthAce#4128: maybe its some quadro?
JustinXenyx#8854: Just a hot question, where did you buy the graphics card from? @XSpaTanx117X
TheFifthAce#4128: its definitely a fermi card
wapted#6788: its a GF106
wapted#6788: yes
XSpaTanx117X#0117: Guy on eBay who got it from his brother who bought it thinking it was a GTX 1050
JustinXenyx#8854: Throw that shit out, now
wapted#6788: possible cards
wapted#6788: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/600679751207616513/unknown.png
JustinXenyx#8854: Pretty much unusable unless you can get a bios of the original card on there |
TheFifthAce#4128: http://vlab.su/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=16169
JustinXenyx#8854: Which is impossible unless you have an SPI flasher
TheFifthAce#4128: this random forum thread claims that its a gts 450
wapted#6788: Classic scam card
TheFifthAce#4128: ^
JustinXenyx#8854: @TheFifthAce look up a couple messages, its defo a GTS450 with borked bios
TheFifthAce#4128: just toss it
wapted#6788: The gpu variant has been scratched off
TheFifthAce#4128: that card literally wont let you even install drivers @XSpaTanx117X
TheFifthAce#4128: just throw it away or use it as a display piece
JustinXenyx#8854: It will, but the drivers are going to be buggy as fuck @TheFifthAce
wapted#6788: will likely crash in games
TheFifthAce#4128: if you're lucky and it doesnt go "THere iS NO NVidiA cRd DeteCted in THe SysTem"
TheFifthAce#4128: then it'll artifact to high hell in 3d rendering
TheFifthAce#4128: if not outright crash |
TheFifthAce#4128: instead of buying a PSU, get a card first lol
XSpaTanx117X#0117: Guys I'm kind of attached the card already I'm going to try to get it to have the proper bios
wapted#6788: All I can recommend is you get an rtx 2080 ti and responsibly recycle that gts450thing
XSpaTanx117X#0117: Just need a psu
wapted#6788: You wont be able to fix it with changing the bios sadly. You need a flashy majig I suspect
wapted#6788: well I mean, you wont be able to change the vbios from within windows
MythologicalZ#3752: SPI flasher meme
JustinXenyx#8854: As i mentioned, any way of software bios flashing is impossible, because the bios that is on the card locks that down @XSpaTanx117X
JustinXenyx#8854: And those hardware flashers cost about as much as your card is worth at best
wapted#6788: An rx 470/480/570/580 might be a good choice
wapted#6788: Meanwhile, im trying to decide how I should go about getting my 3900x
wapted#6788: as my order from amazon is looking like its oof
XSpaTanx117X#0117: But I will still need a PSU
XSpaTanx117X#0117: Suggestions?
TheFifthAce#4128: seasonic S12IIII 550w |
TheFifthAce#4128: 53$
XSpaTanx117X#0117: Thank you
Tinybox#9112: So I heard somewhere..
Tinybox#9112: Ram from HP pcs are kinda yiffy.
TheFifthAce#4128: hp is gay
TheFifthAce#4128: and proprietary
Tinybox#9112: So what are the chances of a "HYNIX" branded RAM, (with a HP security sticker behind the branding)
Coming from a HP 500B
Working on my Z68 board.
Tinybox#9112: Because I'm about to go out and buy 6gb (3 sticks of Kingston value ram) for 5 bucks.
Tinybox#9112: And to make it 8 gig
Tinybox#9112: I'd need another 2GB stick
Tinybox#9112: And the only 2gb stick is from that PC
Tinybox#9112: @Tech Helper maybe?
MythologicalZ#3752: I'm guessing it'll be fine |
MythologicalZ#3752: There have been cases of HP branded RAM not working outside of their systems but I don't think that will be the case here
Tinybox#9112: aight
Tinybox#9112: It does have hynix branding, and I seem to just be able to search the modell nummer and get proper specs.
Tinybox#9112: (only the security thingy was worrying me
JustinXenyx#8854: that HP thing is most likely just for their service centers to know what ram to pick when replacing it lol
Tinybox#9112: anyway I hope it will work fine, as there are some bent pins that I tried to fix on this board..
They look like it would work..but they are noticeable
Tinybox#9112: and hey the HP ram has the same timings, like the RAM I wanna get
Tinybox#9112: ahhh what really worries me, the "fixed" pins are a different height VS all the other ones
JustinXenyx#8854: when they're bent in the right place they're gonna make contact with the cpu anyway @Tinybox
Tinybox#9112: ah alright
Abe.#3344: Is the G402 a good mouse? It's pretty cheap on Amazon rn.
GoldenSky#4649: I absolutely love mine
GoldenSky#4649: Feels amazing in the hand and my accuracy is unreal with it
GoldenSky#4649: If you can find it for €25 or €30, I’d say grab it |
Deleted User#0000: Used discord on my phone and now my phone’s screen won’t turn on how do I force restart it cuz there is noth8ng onl8ne
Deleted User#0000: When I charge it then plug it out I got my mi sign
Deleted User#0000: is there a way to tell if a power supply is 230v and would american modualr power supply cables work with a 230v powersupply ?
GoldenSky#4649: It should state it
GoldenSky#4649: The cables just transfer power, they don’t generate it so it should be fine
TheGeekster#8508: if it's a compatible set of cables, yes it will work as all PSU's downvolt to the same 12/5/3v inside computers, it's not a voltage issue, it's a brand & fitment issue
Deleted User#0000: well i have a evga g1 650 and need the cables for it. So if i buy it from america it would be fine. And where would it state ?
TheGeekster#8508: https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=100-cb-c123-b9
TheGeekster#8508: is it something like that?
Deleted User#0000: yeah that was one of my options i was thinking about
DarknessFalls229#2286: 100 bucks for cables though:Noo:
Deleted User#0000: ik i can get them with a psu for 60 bucks
Deleted User#0000: Im kinda regreting buying all the power packs tbh
TheGeekster#8508: power packs?
TheGeekster#8508: OHHH did you post the picture of the shit tons of power supplies? |

DarknessFalls229#2286: hmmm
Deleted User#0000: ik
DarknessFalls229#2286: thats a big oof
TheFifthAce#4128: make sure any cables you get are from the *same* psu
TheFifthAce#4128: they cant even be a different wattage of the same PSU most of the time
Deleted User#0000: thats why im planning on buying a set of cables, testing them all, selling all but one
DarknessFalls229#2286: i got like 4 PSUs missing PCIe power cables and its very annoying |
Deleted User#0000: and getting a free psu and cables out of it
TheGeekster#8508: Ya mightttt have a few issues trying to sell them without cables
DarknessFalls229#2286: ^
DarknessFalls229#2286: people usually get deterred by cableless PSUs
Tinybox#9112: yo bois
Tinybox#9112: is it safe to clean ram contacts with some ALCOHOLL?
TheGeekster#8508: i mean... if you don't have to, then don't

TheFifthAce#4128: what
TheFifthAce#4128: oh cool
TheFifthAce#4128: go buy the seasonic now
XSpaTanx117X#0117: Yes I shall
XSpaTanx117X#0117: @TheFifthAce this or a corsair psu
XSpaTanx117X#0117: corsair
XSpaTanx117X#0117: Seasonic S12III 550 SSR-550GB3 550W 80+ Bronze |
TheFifthAce#4128: if its the VS avoid it
TheFifthAce#4128: just go for the seasonic
XSpaTanx117X#0117: okay its done
Tinybox#9112: I got that weird feeling.
Tinybox#9112: That I should tell the GPU guy to package the GPU properly
Tinybox#9112: The CPU guy delivered the CPU in prisinte packing
Tinybox#9112: Like seriously
Tinybox#9112: EXTREME packing
Tinybox#9112: So a guy is selling 5 R9 290s, 40 Fans
For 110 bucks.
It's an EX-mining RIG stuff
Tinybox#9112: @Tech Helper Can't test the stuff currently seller says though 4 of them are fully working one overheats, and needs new thermal paste.
BigPierogi#3368: 40 fans
BigPierogi#3368: jesus
JustinXenyx#8854: eh @Tinybox |
JustinXenyx#8854: If you can resell them, buy them
Tinybox#9112: @JustinXenyx They still got their shrouds and all included..
R9 290s currently go for like 50 bucks for a fast sell and 60 if you can wait
JustinXenyx#8854: i'd buy them then
JustinXenyx#8854: You could either: use them yourself, sell 2 of them and keep the rest so that you basically make your money back or sell all of them and make a decent profit
Tinybox#9112: debating a lil as im unable to test them
Tinybox#9112: but like you said
Tinybox#9112: I only need 2 to work
Tinybox#9112: To make profit
Tinybox#9112: (or to make back my money)
TheFifthAce#4128: @Tinybox buy them and sell them all for 40$ each as untested
TheFifthAce#4128: :UWU:
TheFifthAce#4128: that way you dont have to worry about it
Tinybox#9112: Good idea but the sale will prob be realllyy slow
JustinXenyx#8854: no one will buy them for 40€ untested @TheFifthAce |
Tinybox#9112: Ill get a used PSU
TheFifthAce#4128: oh right this isnt america
Tinybox#9112: ask the guy if he has an original stock cooler
TheFifthAce#4128: :Garfield_dab:
TheFifthAce#4128: I'd buy em anyways
Tinybox#9112: So I got a cooler for the R9 290
Tinybox#9112: I mean
Tinybox#9112: 2500k
Tinybox#9112: to test em
JustinXenyx#8854: 40€ for a card thats "untested" (which usually means fucking broken, lets be real here) is 10-20€ under market value of a working card, so no one would buy them realistically @TheFifthAce
TheFifthAce#4128: people would do that over here
TheFifthAce#4128: :ultrakok:
Tinybox#9112: although, here
Tinybox#9112: he was mining etherum
Tinybox#9112: seems to be undervolted cards too |

TheFifthAce#4128: :ULTRAKEK:
JustinXenyx#8854: Every smart miner undervolts his cards @Tinybox
JustinXenyx#8854: especially when their power monsters like 5 r9 290's
TheFifthAce#4128: @Tinybox regardless, worth the buy
Tinybox#9112: aight
Tinybox#9112: ill go for it
Tinybox#9112: ill buy a used psu as well
TheFifthAce#4128: god I'm tempted to buy this just for the cooler so I can put it on a 5700 xt when I buy it https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/601436384384909413/unknown.png
Tinybox#9112: Hope that my 2500k + mobo works
Tinybox#9112: then test the r9 290s
Tinybox#9112: :Hahahahaha:
TheFifthAce#4128: ngl I also want this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/601436631475552257/unknown.png
Tinybox#9112: eehh im gonna trust the new enermas pro 82
Tinybox#9112: cheapest reliable seeming option |
Tinybox#9112: *enermax
JustinXenyx#8854: which one?
JustinXenyx#8854: only Pro82 i remember was launched in 2008
Tinybox#9112: nevermind..All I know it's an enermax pro 82.
could be this one
Tinybox#9112: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/601439249274765342/iu.png
JustinXenyx#8854: Probably fine enough to test hardware but not to use in a main rig
Tinybox#9112: Comes with an antec p180, and some noctua cooler, some lga 775 board, some other other,
Tinybox#9112: for 20 bucks
Tinybox#9112: 15-30
Tinybox#9112: Let's say that
Tinybox#9112: @JustinXenyx I'm thinking of chugging that psu in with my rx 580
Tinybox#9112: that will be arriving on monday or tomorrow
JustinXenyx#8854: hmmm
JustinXenyx#8854: definitely from a decade ago then |
Tinybox#9112: yep
Tinybox#9112: Gonna attempt to pressure for 15
Tinybox#9112: I need a PSU to test those R9 290s asap
Tinybox#9112: dad is just talkin (aka my driver lol)
Tinybox#9112: Tryna tell him to hurry
Tinybox#9112: impossible :Hahahahaha:
Tinybox#9112: Bois did intel mounting change from 775>lga 1155 @Tech Helper
JustinXenyx#8854: hell yeah it did
JustinXenyx#8854: But most of the LGA775 coolers are easily modded to work with LGA1155
TheGeekster#8508: Did... Did ya not bother googling it?
Tinybox#9112: @TheGeekster I googled it, but all I know it's some noctua cooler.
Tinybox#9112: Alright if all goes 100% ill sell 3 of em.
Build a gaming rig sell that for profit, and keep 1
Alcyone#2233: fun fact: most asrock 1155 boards have extra mount holes for 775 coolers https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/601489687269343262/unknown.png
JustinXenyx#8854: Sadly his Z68 Pro3 doesn't lol @Alcyone |
Alcyone#2233: hmm they mustve removed it in a revision, my p67 extreme 4 had them as well https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/601490453350580229/maxresdefault.png
JustinXenyx#8854: or wait a minute, @Tinybox does your board have those mounting holes?
JustinXenyx#8854: Because i don't remember that his specific board had them
JustinXenyx#8854: +him asking if the mounting from 775 to 1155 changed also doesn't make it seem like he has them
Xbox 360 1953#2640: Do 4gb sticks of ddr2 exist
DarknessFalls229#2286: yes
DarknessFalls229#2286: normal sticks are pretty rare, server sticks not so much
DarknessFalls229#2286: there even exist 8GB server sticks
Xbox 360 1953#2640: That's why I can't find them
DarknessFalls229#2286: yeah
DarknessFalls229#2286: do you even have a board that supports it?
Xbox 360 1953#2640: Yeah
Xbox 360 1953#2640: Supports a max of 8gb and has two slots
DarknessFalls229#2286: ah
JustinXenyx#8854: Let me guess, AMD mobo? @Xbox 360 1953 |
Xbox 360 1953#2640: Intel
Xbox 360 1953#2640: @JustinXenyx
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I’m here
kasey unblock jesse#0395: @Tech Helper
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Yeetus
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I need help
mi3night#2562: Ok now say what’s ur problem
mi3night#2562: It’s in general chat so
JustinXenyx#8854: Uhm, can you like ping, after you've written what you need help with? @kasey unblock jesse
kasey unblock jesse#0395: That https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/601522101169684511/image0.jpg
kasey unblock jesse#0395: My motherboard sees everything
DarknessFalls229#2286: did you configure the boot menu?
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Ssd hdd
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Okay I’m kind of stumped
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Stupid* |
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Mind walking me through the steps
JustinXenyx#8854: 100% sure its just the boot config thats fucked
TheGeekster#8508: (Also remember to remove anything not related to booting the OS, such as install USB sticks and shit)
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I’m back to the og bios. Wasn’t sure if it was the updated ones problem (got dual bios)
DarknessFalls229#2286: go into bios, into the "boot" section and put your boot drive to the top of the list
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Well I have windows on the ssd
kasey unblock jesse#0395: But even that won’t show
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It is
kasey unblock jesse#0395: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/601522533606490122/image0.jpg
TheGeekster#8508: Remove the USB stick in the PC
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Let me turn it off first
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It’s out
DarknessFalls229#2286: some motherboard require you to boot into "windows boot manager" instead of the SSD
DarknessFalls229#2286: try that if you have the option
TheGeekster#8508: now boot it up |
kasey unblock jesse#0395: How do I boot into that
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It worked just fine today
DarknessFalls229#2286: so _it did_ work
TheGeekster#8508: It's most likely the USB confusing the boot order, just try and boot it without any USB sticks in the computer
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I still got the ssd plugged in
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Nope
kasey unblock jesse#0395: As I said
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Still the message
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Never seen this
TheGeekster#8508: When you changed bios, do you know if you installed windows in UEFI mode? or AHCI mode?
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Okay what
DarknessFalls229#2286: So to make things clear: your computer was booting just fine when suddenly it reported that is no boot device no more?
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I used to run windows on bios 2
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I cleaned the Pc
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Nothing wrong |
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Now it does this
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Didn’t do anything mayor
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Just some dust fan blowing dus out
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Motherboard sees everything
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Boot order is correct
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Both bios’S see them
kasey unblock jesse#0395: None boot into the usb or ssd
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I keep getting the same message
TheGeekster#8508: Please stop typing out hundreds of small messages, it you can try changing the boot mode in the bios, i'm looking up how to do it o your motherboard now
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Thank you
kasey unblock jesse#0395: And okay
TheGeekster#8508: If you go to the bios, go to "Boot" and "boot settings configuration" is there an option for "BIOS/UEFI"?
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Let me check
TheGeekster#8508: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/601523830103474186/unknown.png
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Thanks |
kasey unblock jesse#0395: For the picture
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I don’t seen stuff related
kasey unblock jesse#0395: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/601524221272653824/image0.jpg
TheGeekster#8508: Hmm, okay, not a uefi board, 1 sec
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It might be because I am in a updated bios
DarknessFalls229#2286: well that stuff are all regular options, its just not relevant right now
TheGeekster#8508: okay go back to boot device priority, use the arrows to highlight "removable dev" and press the - key https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/601524618473504789/unknown.png
TheGeekster#8508: make sure that "SATA:PM-ADATA" is at the top of that list
TheFifthAce#4128: would it be overkill to reinstall windows for my new headset
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I’ve done that before I think
TheFifthAce#4128: I always reinstall windows on hardware change
kasey unblock jesse#0395: What @TheFifthAce
Tinybox#9112: Alright
Tinybox#9112: Picked up the R9 290s
Tinybox#9112: Well 6 of the 40 fans. |
DarknessFalls229#2286: suddenly 2 more conversations
Tinybox#9112: Are sadly molex only
kasey unblock jesse#0395: @TheGeekster just safe and retry?
TheGeekster#8508: Yeah
Tinybox#9112: @DarknessFalls229 yea I picked up 5x ex mining 290s
Tinybox#9112: For 100
Tinybox#9112: With 40 fans
DarknessFalls229#2286: nice, they dead yet?
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It powered off completely
TheGeekster#8508: Dudes, we're clearly in the middle of a fucking conversation trying to help someone
Tinybox#9112: @DarknessFalls229
They hopefully work
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I bought a mining card once
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Worked fine
Tinybox#9112: Ill test them |
kasey unblock jesse#0395: @TheGeekster nope
Tinybox#9112: If 2 work
Tinybox#9112: I made my money back
Tinybox#9112: Or if none work the TRI x shrouds and heatsinks and a few high quality fans will do
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It did not work
JustinXenyx#8854: @TheFifthAce nah, reinstalling windows just for a new headset sounds overkill
TheGeekster#8508: Are you attached to this windows install? Would it be a pain in the ass to reinstall?
Tinybox#9112: my bad :Hahaha: @TheGeekster
Tinybox#9112: Sorry.
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Sort of but I can re install
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It didn’t see the bootstick tho
Tinybox#9112: Sorry hydration oof
TheGeekster#8508: Did you use windows 10 media creation tool for it?
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Yep
kasey unblock jesse#0395: And I can’t make a new one |
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Cuz I don’t got any other Pc
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I got some week ass Chromebooks
TheGeekster#8508: No other drives at all are plugged in to it? No USB Sticks? No DVD's or discs in drives? No storage hard drives?
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I can try again while removing the ssd
TheGeekster#8508: it's stupid, but can you try the SSD in one of the black sata connectors on your motherboard? Just incase
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I always use the black ones
DarknessFalls229#2286: What about resetting CMOS?
TheGeekster#8508: Ah, try the red ones, the red ones are faster than the black ones, 6G vs 3G
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Since sata 6gbs can be fucky on x58
DarknessFalls229#2286: think that'd work?
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Ya
kasey unblock jesse#0395: No message yet
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Just a blinking dash
DarknessFalls229#2286: yeah, first thing i see in google is SATA 6GB not working
kasey unblock jesse#0395: AY |
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It works for once
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Why tf didn’t it work the 10 times I tried before
TheGeekster#8508: wait it's booting?
kasey unblock jesse#0395: The bootstick
TheGeekster#8508: ahh okay, might have been usb ports, USB 2.0 are more reliable for booting maybe?
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I might loose 200gbs of memes
kasey unblock jesse#0395: But eh
TheGeekster#8508: you don't have to overwrite, if you install it should move everything to a windows.old folder
TheGeekster#8508: just don't delete or format the partitions
DarknessFalls229#2286: try resetting CMOS and using a different sata slot for your SSD, then try booting into windows again?
kasey unblock jesse#0395: So I will keep 1 tb of games
DarknessFalls229#2286: yes
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I did clear cmos already
DarknessFalls229#2286: hmm
DarknessFalls229#2286: and different sata slot? |
TheGeekster#8508: you will, but depending where they are, and how installed, some might need reinstalling
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Also
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Eh the games aren’t the big part
kasey unblock jesse#0395: The pictures of family are
BigPierogi#3368: i have like 1/2 of my other drive filled up with games
BigPierogi#3368: almsot 500 gb
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I got 2 full 500gb drives
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It’s in the bootstick
TheGeekster#8508: ehhh if you've got pictures on this SSD that you REALLY want to keep, i'd like, be careful with what you do next
kasey unblock jesse#0395: So just plug in the hdds and ssd and install on the ssd?
TheGeekster#8508: OHHHHHHH, I KNOW WHAT IT FUCKIN IS
kasey unblock jesse#0395: The most important pictures are backed up
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Of dead members
kasey unblock jesse#0395: But there are some I’d like to keep
kasey unblock jesse#0395: You do? |
TheGeekster#8508: When you installed windows before, you had hard drives plugged in, and they were detected as disk 0, not the SSD, so when you installed windows to the SSD, it installed the boot loader to the hard drives, and not to the SSD
kasey unblock jesse#0395: But it was installed maybe a year ago?
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Half a year for sure
TheGeekster#8508: did you have the hard drives in at that time?
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Okay I really don’t know
TheGeekster#8508: Get out of the installer, plug the hard drives back in, and then try booting it up, just to try
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I know they where formatted once windows was done by me
TheGeekster#8508: can't lose anything by trying to boot from the hard drives instead of the SSD 🤔
TheGeekster#8508: if you want to give it a go
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Sure
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Just plug em all in or only the hdds?
TheGeekster#8508: all the hard drives, the SSD, everything you had installed before, but nothing USB related
TheGeekster#8508: (I'm guessing these are internal hard drives and not external?)
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Yes
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Keyboard still in? |
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It’s usb related
TheGeekster#8508: yeah keyboard & mouse in
kasey unblock jesse#0395: They are in a usb hub tho
TheGeekster#8508: eh should be alright
TheGeekster#8508: it's mainly storage related things
kasey unblock jesse#0395: No boot
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It did give me a overclock error?
kasey unblock jesse#0395: With no overclock in
kasey unblock jesse#0395: On*
TheGeekster#8508: Try setting the boot priority to the hard drives, and, erm 🤔 that's a new one
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Indeed
kasey unblock jesse#0395: There 2 hdds and 1 windows as
TheGeekster#8508: Anyway yeah try to set the boot priority to the hard drives, just trying to figure out things to try before reinstalling if poss
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Which one to prioritize?
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I’ve gotten further then before |
DarknessFalls229#2286: pick one, if it doesnt work, pick the other
kasey unblock jesse#0395: So it’s a win
TheGeekster#8508: ^^ yep try one, then the other
kasey unblock jesse#0395: All drives are picked up
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Trying the ssd now
DarknessFalls229#2286: wdym trying the ssd now?
kasey unblock jesse#0395: As priority to boot
DarknessFalls229#2286: no
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Didn’t work so now 1 hdd
DarknessFalls229#2286: we said try the hard drives first
TheFifthAce#4128: @JustinXenyx the hyperx cloud came in and god they're so nice
TheFifthAce#4128: I havent plugged them in, I just tested them by putting them on my head
TheFifthAce#4128: but I'll plug em in later
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Wat
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Thanks for that darknes |
DarknessFalls229#2286: just try setting the boot priority to the HDDs
kasey unblock jesse#0395: No error yet
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Just a flickering dash
DarknessFalls229#2286: _its trying to boot_
TheGeekster#8508: hmmm :JeffreyIsThinking: Is all I can think of rn
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Trying is a big part
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It’s trying hard
kasey unblock jesse#0395: But nothing yet
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Man this Pc is kinda loud with no side panel
DarknessFalls229#2286: id say wait 30 more seconds before trying the other HDD
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I’ll message ya in a minute
TheGeekster#8508: to be fair that's a pretty fucking beefy motherboard
DarknessFalls229#2286: @TheGeekster You think drive arrangement matters?
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It is @TheGeekster
kasey unblock jesse#0395: And I like it a lot |
TheGeekster#8508: mmmmmmmmmmmm, it *shouldn't*
DarknessFalls229#2286: But does it do _TWO_ xeons?
DarknessFalls229#2286: 😎
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Last time when something was up a red led was blinking. A single ram stick was broken
kasey unblock jesse#0395: But now no less
TheGeekster#8508: yeah but like, if they're x5650's it don't count bruv 😩
DarknessFalls229#2286: E5420s
kasey unblock jesse#0395: No. Not two Xeons
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I hate English autocorrect
DarknessFalls229#2286: on the best board i could get them
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I got a x5650 lmao
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Runs the games I need fine
TheGeekster#8508: 😩 huh, fair do's
DarknessFalls229#2286: damn, you got more threads than me
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Kol |
DarknessFalls229#2286: though this skulltrail board is nice
DarknessFalls229#2286: are you gonna overclock too once you get things working?
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I used to run a overclock
kasey unblock jesse#0395: 4ghz stable and cool
kasey unblock jesse#0395: 1.35 volt full load line calibration
kasey unblock jesse#0395: OOH
DarknessFalls229#2286: i got 3.2GHz on both my CPUs
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It tried to boot if a hdd
kasey unblock jesse#0395: But the entire Pc shut down
DarknessFalls229#2286: uuuh
DarknessFalls229#2286: retry?
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Sure
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I see a red led next to dean
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Dram*
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Let me check if they all show up in bios |
kasey unblock jesse#0395: They do
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Aaay it’s loading
kasey unblock jesse#0395: At the speed of a hdd
kasey unblock jesse#0395: But worth it
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Thank you @TheGeekster and @DarknessFalls229
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I would not have thought of that
kasey unblock jesse#0395: You are right I send way to many small messages
DarknessFalls229#2286: Me neither :haha: didnt really know about that issue
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Lmao
DarknessFalls229#2286: So props to Qwan
kasey unblock jesse#0395: How did this happen that
kasey unblock jesse#0395: All I did
DarknessFalls229#2286: Weird windows install
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Was clean the motherboard gpu and cooler
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Nothing different |
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I’m half a year
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I might have bumped the cmos clear key
DarknessFalls229#2286: Mhmm
TheGeekster#8508: It was probably the borked boot order, I've had it happen before, my old gaming PC had the bootloader on the HDD, and the OS ont he SSD
TheGeekster#8508: only realised when i removed the HDD and it wouldn't boot, i'd suggest backing stuff up when you can, and reinstalling windows when ever but with ONLY the SSD plugged in at the time
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Thanks mate
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Want some old pentiums I have
kasey unblock jesse#0395: There all broken
TheGeekster#8508: Would make great swimming costumes
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Kol
MacRick#3873: Would the RX580 8GB a good GPU to pair with a Ryzen 5 2600x? I want a GPU to play newer AAA titles
GoldenSky#4649: thebottlenecker.com
MacRick#3873: Oof a 30% bottleneck
JustinXenyx#8854: @MacRick It's a decent pair and would allow for a simple upgrade to a higher end GPU later on
JustinXenyx#8854: I would advise not using sites like thebottlenecker.com, as they aren't really accurate to a real life scenario |
MythologicalZ#3752: 580 and a 2600x is a solid combo
MacRick#3873: @JustinXenyx thank you for the advice!
TheFifthAce#4128: bottlenecking is a lame concept @MacRick
TheFifthAce#4128: Just make sure the CPU can keep the GPU pegged at 100% and you're generally aight
GoldenSky#4649: So in other words, don’t fucking bottleneck 🙄🙄
TheFifthAce#4128: @GoldenSky well thats still bottlenecking... A gpu bottleneck
TheFifthAce#4128: :Yikes:
GoldenSky#4649: A GPU bottleneck is better than a CPU bottleneck anyways, but at least it allows the GPU to work as hard as it possibly can
TheFifthAce#4128: so basically I'm ready to pull the trigger on buying that asrock 5700 xt
TheFifthAce#4128: :red:
TheFifthAce#4128: shall I perform the purchase
JustinXenyx#8854: I wouldn't, it looks like ass tbh
TheFifthAce#4128: I shall wait for sapphire or xfx then
MythologicalZ#3752: If the ASRock cooler works well I dunno why you'd wait
JustinXenyx#8854: ^true that, if you're fine with the looks and cooling performance of the card, go for it |
TheFifthAce#4128: @MythologicalZ well drivers for one
TheFifthAce#4128: I know they'll get better
TheFifthAce#4128: but I don't wanna use the card while they're shit
TheFifthAce#4128: I'm waiting until august prolly
MythologicalZ#3752: :GWgoaThinken:
MythologicalZ#3752: I've sat with shit AMD drivers before and it's honestly not that bad

mi³nshel#9774: how do i get it to show the other installed browers as options
Xbox 360 1953#2640: Have you opened the other one you want to use
Xbox 360 1953#2640: Since I know some browsers ask to be default
mi³nshel#9774: im using opera, when i click the "set as default" option it opens this page in settings
mi³nshel#9774: going through the control panel>programs>default programs lead to the same page
kasey unblock jesse#0395: @TheGeekster mind helping me again when you have time?
TheGeekster#8508: I would if I could, but I'm jam packed for the next few days, best bet is to ask Justin or ping tech helpers
Tinybox#9112: @Tech Helper ^ |
Tinybox#9112: And hey..umm
if you guys could also help me identify this cooler here https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/601772926513184768/unknown.png
Tinybox#9112: would be cool lads
JustinXenyx#8854: Looks like a Noctua NH-U12P or NH-U12P-SE2 @Tinybox
TheGeekster#8508: You could literally have just googled "noctua coolers" and had a look 😐
JustinXenyx#8854: @TheGeekster I googled "Noctua 775 coolers" lmao
JustinXenyx#8854: But one thing to keep in mind, @Tinybox, if its a NH-U12P its mounting bracket is not natively compatible with LGA1155, while the U12P-SE2 has the compatible mounting bracket
JustinXenyx#8854: you'd basically have to mod the U12Ps mounting hardware by drilling a couple extra holes besides the original 775 holes
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Oi
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Anyone able to help me
JustinXenyx#8854: I'm here, what do you need help with?
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Installing windows, lmao
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It won’t let me install on any drive or ssd
JustinXenyx#8854: Does it show the drives? As in, can you see the partitions on the drive? |
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It shows the drives
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It gives me an arrow tho
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Error*
JustinXenyx#8854: Do you have a screenshot of the error given?
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It’s in Dutch
kasey unblock jesse#0395: And it’s different every time
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It said something about hardware not supporting to boot of that drive
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Let me retry
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I believe I’ve had something like this before but I forgot how to fix it
TheGeekster#8508: this? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/601776004351918080/hqdefault.png
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I will be right back I gotta enter my windows key
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Yes
kasey unblock jesse#0395: But for win10
kasey unblock jesse#0395: What is the fix?
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Well |
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Welp*
kasey unblock jesse#0395: @JustinXenyx ?
kasey unblock jesse#0395: @Tech Helper
SanteRaptor#2609: Gparted
SanteRaptor#2609: I thonk
SanteRaptor#2609: Put it on a usb and remove the old partitions
JustinXenyx#8854: Yeah, the partition is messing with the install, you need to reformat the drive @kasey unblock jesse
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Ah
kasey unblock jesse#0395: What drive the usb or the ssd
JustinXenyx#8854: Also, i speak german, trying to understand what it says in Dutch isn't that hard lol
JustinXenyx#8854: The SSD is causing issues
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It is
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I don’t speak german
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It’s hard mate
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I already formatted the drive once tho |
kasey unblock jesse#0395: And twice
SanteRaptor#2609: GPARTED
SanteRaptor#2609: I know
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I’m booting the pc up again
SanteRaptor#2609: Because I've experienced this
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Takes a lil time
SanteRaptor#2609: Gparted is the answer
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I don’t know what that is tho
kasey unblock jesse#0395: The usb drive is taking its sweet time
SanteRaptor#2609: It's a lil thing used to manage partitions (usually linux partittions)
JustinXenyx#8854: I think its a partition manager that you can boot from a seperate USB stick
SanteRaptor#2609: Yed
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I don’t got a second usb stick
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Or a other pc to acces
SanteRaptor#2609: Well shit man |
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I got a shitty Chromebooks that can’t even make a windows bootstick
kasey unblock jesse#0395: And 1 usb with a win 10
JustinXenyx#8854: Then i think your best bet is to just google how to reformat a partition using the command prompt
kasey unblock jesse#0395: What
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I’m to retarded for this
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I’ve never had this problem tho
kasey unblock jesse#0395: So wtf I gotta do
JustinXenyx#8854: "hoe een partitie opnieuw in te stellen met behulp van de opdrachtprompt" is the dutch translation, if that makes more sense
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Ik that
kasey unblock jesse#0395: But still
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It keeps giving me shit about something called diskpart
JustinXenyx#8854: thats EXACTLY what you need to use
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Nothing related to me
kasey unblock jesse#0395: How do i use it without a freaking pc tho
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Or can that be used In the bootstick? |
JustinXenyx#8854: You can do that in the bootstick
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Ow shit
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Than I passed right instructions
JustinXenyx#8854: I think Shift + F10 should bring up the command prompt
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Indeed
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Yeah I’m in cmd
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I’ll follow the instructions on a Dutch article
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I’ll ping you if I’m to retarded to do it
JustinXenyx#8854: Yeah, i'll be waiting lol
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Lol
kasey unblock jesse#0395: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/601782074193477633/image0.jpg
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I’ve got that @JustinXenyx
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I geus disk 0 is the usb
JustinXenyx#8854: Yes, Disk 0 is the USB, which would also be indicated that its just a 14GB drive
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It’s 16 |
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Or it says it is
kasey unblock jesse#0395: But eh
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I’ve selected disk 1
kasey unblock jesse#0395: What do I do with it
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Create a partition?
JustinXenyx#8854: Type in "clean"
JustinXenyx#8854: That should format the Disk
kasey unblock jesse#0395: That was fast
"Cobs"#1150: POST @r5E
JustinXenyx#8854: If that was successful, type "create partition primary"
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Succeeded
kasey unblock jesse#0395: That it?
JustinXenyx#8854: now "format fs=ntfs"
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It said 0% completed
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Ooh wait |
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It’s counting now
kasey unblock jesse#0395: That might take a while
kasey unblock jesse#0395: What is it doing?
JustinXenyx#8854: Should take like 5-10 Minutes
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Ah that’s not that long
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I had to make a bootstick on a old laptop once
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Wow that took long
JustinXenyx#8854: It's formatting the drive for Microsofts own filesystem called "NTFS"
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Okay
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Any steps after that?
JustinXenyx#8854: Not in CMD
JustinXenyx#8854: After its done formatting to NTFS, you should just be able to choose it as the drive you want to install Windows on
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Not as hard as I thought with the right instructions
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Thanks
"Cobs"#1150: Wait you didn’t tell him to do format when trying to install windows onto did you? @JustinXenyx |
"Cobs"#1150: If so it’ll be missing a few additional partitions windows creates, best to leave it as unallocated space and just hitting next
kasey unblock jesse#0395: What
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It’s still formatting
JustinXenyx#8854: Windows will split off parts of the partition to create all that stuff either way @"Cobs"
"Cobs"#1150: Not normally if it’s formatted as one partition to start off with
"Cobs"#1150: If it’s unallocated it’ll auto create them
"Cobs"#1150: I had this issue with a few machines I built and formatted, some installers refused to work
kasey unblock jesse#0395: 61%
Tinybox#9112: @JustinXenyx I think my motherboard has LGA 775 mounting holes? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/601789653284159519/unknown.png
JustinXenyx#8854: @Tinybox I asked you that before, because it seems they removed that with certain revisions of the Pro3
Tinybox#9112: 🤔
Tinybox#9112: Alright.
Tinybox#9112: Yea mine has it
Tinybox#9112: I see the holes are labeled
Tinybox#9112: "LGA 775" |
JustinXenyx#8854: Nice, so you don't have to mod the cooler then
JustinXenyx#8854: @kasey unblock jesse It seems to take longer than i thought :thinking_peter:
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It’s still going
kasey unblock jesse#0395: 85%
kasey unblock jesse#0395: :Oof: :FeelsBadMan:
kasey unblock jesse#0395: IT IS DONE @JustinXenyx
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Just exit cmd and install windows?
JustinXenyx#8854: Yeah, that should cut it @kasey unblock jesse
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Gun
kasey unblock jesse#0395: The error didn’t go away
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Do I need to reboot?
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It can’t make a new system partition or find a existing one
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I hate this
kasey unblock jesse#0395: @JustinXenyx any other tips?
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Might have found a fix on google |
JustinXenyx#8854: Not really, @"Cobs" do you have any ideas?
"Cobs"#1150: That’s because you formatted the drive when you did the install
"Cobs"#1150: The temporary system partition was not created
"Cobs"#1150: Easy fix tho
"Cobs"#1150: Load up diskpart again, run the clean command and then close out of diskpart
JustinXenyx#8854: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/601776004351918080/hqdefault.png This is what he gets afaik, not the exact error, its something similar to that
"Cobs"#1150: From there do refresh on the installer screen, and push next when your disk shows as unallocated, don’t try and create any partitions
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Nope
kasey unblock jesse#0395: What I found didn’t work
"Cobs"#1150: Does your machine support Beyond2TB+ technology if that’s the error?
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It’s not over 2tb tho
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Yeah I get that error tho
GoldenSky#4649: What has been tried?
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Cleaning the disk in cmd
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Or something like that |
GoldenSky#4649: That all?
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Read up is the best awnser for what I did in cmd
GoldenSky#4649: Is it an IDE or SATA drive?
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Sata
kasey unblock jesse#0395: 120gb ssd
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Never had this before
GoldenSky#4649: Okay, have you tried booting from your Windows setup medium in a different mode?
kasey unblock jesse#0395: How?
GoldenSky#4649: There’s usually UEFI mode and Legacy mode
"Cobs"#1150: Have you loaded raid drivers or checked your in AHCI drive mode?
GoldenSky#4649: Enter your boot menu
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I don’t know how to enter my boot menu on this board
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It’s asus
kasey unblock jesse#0395: F8 google says
JustinXenyx#8854: As far as i remember he has a Rampage III Extreme, which does not have a UEFI @GoldenSky |
GoldenSky#4649: Okay, and is the SSD connected to the SATA 0 port?
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It shows up on sata port 1 in the bios
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I don’t believe there is a 0
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It’s the first one
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Yes
kasey unblock jesse#0395: The 3gbs not the 6gbs
GoldenSky#4649: Yes, but often times you’ll see them labelled SATA0 for port 1
GoldenSky#4649: Try connect the SSD to another port on the board
JustinXenyx#8854: Hold on, why did you plug your SSD into a 3 Gbs (SATA revision 2) port? That's just crippling performance @kasey unblock jesse
GoldenSky#4649: That too
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Sata 6 points down at the seperate port https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/601796467631325194/image0.jpg
kasey unblock jesse#0395: While there are 7
kasey unblock jesse#0395: So yes I think it is in slot 0
GoldenSky#4649: Try each port until Windows installs
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Okay so |
kasey unblock jesse#0395: What i did
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Is switch to bios 1 (og factory settings)
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Went into boot menu and selected the usb
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Skipped the activation key
kasey unblock jesse#0395: And it works now
GoldenSky#4649: Good
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Yes
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Could it have something to do with the updated bios?
GoldenSky#4649: But seriously plug that SSD into a faster port
kasey unblock jesse#0395: The 6gbs one
GoldenSky#4649: It could yeah
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I believe those are fucky on x58
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I don’t mind waiting 10 extra seconds for windows
JustinXenyx#8854: X58 doesn't have native SATA3 as far as i know
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Well it does? |
kasey unblock jesse#0395: But google it
kasey unblock jesse#0395: There fucky
JustinXenyx#8854: yeah, that's why i know it doesn't have native SATA 3
JustinXenyx#8854: The chipset doesn't have sata3, its usually added with an extra controller
kasey unblock jesse#0395: There is a large heat sink next to it
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I have never used them. And waiting a little extra isn’t a big problem for me
GoldenSky#4649: Imo, if you’re going for an SSD you clearly want the speed, so why bother bottling yourself, you get me?
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Yeah but comparing a hdd to an ssd
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Even on 3gbs is ALOT
GoldenSky#4649: Yeah, but you’re also not getting the full speed - assuming the SSD is that fast
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I got it for 15 euro
kasey unblock jesse#0395: The sticker came off once so I don’t know the exact model
GoldenSky#4649: Anyways, if Windows is installing then happy days
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Yes
kasey unblock jesse#0395: But how could a bios affect windows install? |
