thatubuntuguy#5914: not the fastest by any means but they'll do
thatubuntuguy#5914: i bought mine for like £6 or smth off cex
B14NK#2605: Gunna put windows on an SSD so this will be a game drive
thatubuntuguy#5914: yeah that's what i use it for as well
thatubuntuguy#5914: loading times might get annoying depending on the game
B14NK#2605: I'm putting it in a computer to sell so not my problem :p
thatubuntuguy#5914: okay fair enough
thatubuntuguy#5914: yeah its a good shout then
thatubuntuguy#5914: go ahead
B14NK#2605: as long as it doesn't spontaneously combust and is a decent size
TheFifthAce#4128: hi
thatubuntuguy#5914: my pipeline drive has been great for me
B14NK#2605: I'm probably never asking in the Reddit buildapc server again, people were telling me eBay is a bad site for hdds
TheFifthAce#4128: well it is
thatubuntuguy#5914: it isn't great tbh |
thatubuntuguy#5914: yh
thatubuntuguy#5914: the site
B14NK#2605: it's "good enough" imho
TheFifthAce#4128: you have no way to get smart data, you dont know the condition of the drives, shipping is usually rough and I've had more than one drive arrive clicking
B14NK#2605: eBay has the money back guarantee thing
B14NK#2605: I had 3 drives arrive all in a big box without packaging and I complained and got replacements
B14NK#2605: Now I have 3 metal bricks I use to cool my phone while I use dash charging
B14NK#2605: win win
Deleted User#0000: What's a good graphics card, or display card with hdmi?
Deleted User#0000: Cheaper the better
JustinXenyx#8854: G210 or HD5450 should be the cheapest @Deleted User
Deleted User#0000: Sweet thanks @JustinXenyx

My Vice#8522: does anyone know a laptop that accepts 10 Series Nvidia MXM cards but comes without one?
My Vice#8522: for cheap |
joedigiorno#5244: i actually dont even know of a newer laptop that takes an mxm
joedigiorno#5244: hey has anyone ever run into an issue where their pc turns itself on and off infinitely whenever you try to load windows up?
tried putting a windows 10 boot usb and it did nothing
but i tried linux and it downloaded and installed just fine
Seb#8799: hello, anyone in here with expertise in xbox 360 modding/repairing? since the last system update my console ran into a number of nand related red rings (e71 and e79), it then stopped booting at all and it gives me no video output
Seb#8799: i didn't mod it in case anyone asks
TheGeekster#8508: @killah Next time you're around anything you can do to help?
Seb#8799: i forgot deleting the messages before going to bed, the xbox is dead as long as i don't reflash the nand
killah#6020: @Seb is it a rgh?
Seb#8799: bone stock
Seb#8799: no mods
My Vice#8522: how do i remove Msata from the clip?
My Vice#8522: i simply cant
TheGeekster#8508: there's no clips with msata drives, it's a screw further down the drive to hold it in place, once you undo that, it'll spring up and you can just slide it out @My Vice
My Vice#8522: there is no screws |
My Vice#8522: its literally a clip
My Vice#8522: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/620251049898541106/20190908_103136.jpg
My Vice#8522: see
TheGeekster#8508: Push these bits backwards, away from the card https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/620251344598597659/unknown.png
TheGeekster#8508: they are the retaining clip
My Vice#8522: okay, ill see
My Vice#8522: uhh..i dont think they are or im doing wrong since the gpu is blocking my hand
My Vice#8522: ok brb
TheGeekster#8508: you need to push them away from the msata connector, gently, it's a little metal "spring" that will pop the card out when you release it
Deleted User#0000: I've got a PC which just wont turn on how ever hard I try
Deleted User#0000: it was working perfectly and then I cleaned it up and it no longer works
TheGeekster#8508: How did you clean it?
Deleted User#0000: took it apart and cleaned it with a small brush
TheGeekster#8508: to what degree did you take it apart? did you just brush out the dust with the case open? or did you start taking components out?
Deleted User#0000: it gutted the case |
Deleted User#0000: completely
TheGeekster#8508: *ah*
TheGeekster#8508: you really don't need to do that to clean a computer, you risk damage more than any benefit you might gain
TheGeekster#8508: what happens when you try to power it on?
Deleted User#0000: it will spin up for like 3 seconds
Deleted User#0000: and then wont do anything
TheGeekster#8508: so it then switches off?
Deleted User#0000: Ye
Deleted User#0000: and to get it to do that, I have to take the cmos out and put it back in
TheGeekster#8508: first steps, are make sure everything is plugged in, no matter how basic you might think it is, check all of the power connectors are fully plugged in
Deleted User#0000: Yep everything is connected
Deleted User#0000: I had it working with an i3 aswell, I took it out of a different system and tried it and it worked
Deleted User#0000: but now the i3 system doesn't work either
TheGeekster#8508: where did you put the motherboard when you took it out?
Deleted User#0000: just on the side |
TheGeekster#8508: solid surface? not fabric?
Deleted User#0000: Ye solid surface
TheGeekster#8508: did you take the CPU out at all?
Deleted User#0000: Not at first
TheGeekster#8508: but you took it out after it wouldn't boot?
Deleted User#0000: Ye
TheGeekster#8508: and when you put the CPU into the other computer, it doesn't work either?
Deleted User#0000: Nope
TheGeekster#8508: unfortunately looks like static or something has killed the cpu & possibly motherboard
Deleted User#0000: well £100 down the drain I guess 😂
TheGeekster#8508: do you have another spare CPU to try in the computer?
Deleted User#0000: well it's like 5 have died
TheGeekster#8508: general rule with pc's, the less you touch them, the less likely something is to go wrong, cleaning is kinda pointless unless it desperately needs it
Deleted User#0000: and I only have my main rig one to test it with
TheGeekster#8508: okay maybeeeee don't bother if 5 cpu's have died in this pc lol |
Deleted User#0000: 2 i5s, 2 i3s and a Pentium
TheGeekster#8508: that sounds like a PSU or severe motherboard issue that's been going on for a long time
TheGeekster#8508: cpu's very rarely die if they are unhandled
Deleted User#0000: well I've been trying different boards and psus
Deleted User#0000: Yep it is 100% the processors
Deleted User#0000: I have one of the systems working but it doesn't give a display so yay
Deleted User#0000: 7 dead I think nkw
Deleted User#0000: 6*
Deleted User#0000: its booted with a pentium g620
TheGeekster#8508: i'd seriously consider getting rid of that PC... it sounds like a cpu killer lol
TheGeekster#8508: could be any number of things
JustinXenyx#8854: Wait, it has killed 6 processors AND YOU DIDN'T STOP?
JustinXenyx#8854: Yikes
JustinXenyx#8854: I would've stopped after it killed one
BigPierogi#3368: bruh |
BigPierogi#3368: 6 cpus
Deleted User#0000: hard to tell it was killing them
SussyBalls#4615: jesus christ
SussyBalls#4615: f
Deleted User#0000: ik
Deleted User#0000: Two have warranty so I can return them
xXSUBEXx#9544: i have an issue with my Gpu
wapted#6788: do you
xXSUBEXx#9544: Everytime i join five m my oc has a blackscreen my vc still works sometimes
xXSUBEXx#9544: i have a zotac gtx 1970 amp extrem
xXSUBEXx#9544: my cpu is a i7 3770k @3.50ghz and 24gb of ram
TheGeekster#8508: Zotac gpu's are generally on the cheaper end, and so don't overclock as well, i'd suggest not overclocking it, or reducing your overclocks if overclocking it makes it unstable
xXSUBEXx#9544: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/620299295094210565/unknown.png
xXSUBEXx#9544: this is the control panel its on default settings
TheGeekster#8508: Sorry can you explain what the problem is? I can't quite understand what you mean, what do you mean "join five m" and "my oc has a blackscreen"? 🤔 |
xXSUBEXx#9544: I join A gta online modded server aka FiveM i see one frame loading (connected to server) then a blackscreen occurs (sometimes i still can talk over dicord vc/hear videos) and the gpu fans go to full trottel
xXSUBEXx#9544: even minecraft crashes it it play like 5 min then crashes
TheGeekster#8508: Okay sounds like the drivers are crashing, try giving them an update as your first thing
xXSUBEXx#9544: Nvidia drivers right?
TheGeekster#8508: yep
xXSUBEXx#9544: ok
xXSUBEXx#9544: ill try that soon
xXSUBEXx#9544: and whenn i try starting geforce expierence this happens ( i tried restartign https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/620301953980694542/unknown.png
Jam#0384: You can download drivers without Experience
Jam#0384: Just go to the Nvidia website
Jam#0384: See if that works
xXSUBEXx#9544: i found some but still wiered that it doesnt work
xXSUBEXx#9544: I also got my old gaming pc that i cant login when i type the password and press enter it refreshes and the password is gone so i cant login on it.
xXSUBEXx#9544: New driver installed i think
xXSUBEXx#9544: ill restart the pc now |
xXSUBEXx#9544: Still same issue when i try to join five m
xXSUBEXx#9544: Please Help i just want to play with my friends
DarknessFalls229#2286: Run display driver uninstaller and do a fresh install of the latest nvidia driver from the website
xXSUBEXx#9544: My Nvidia drivers are uptodate
xXSUBEXx#9544: i updated them 20 min ago
DarknessFalls229#2286: "Fresh" install?
xXSUBEXx#9544: Theres some windows updates ill try to install them and then see if it works
DarknessFalls229#2286: You can also try lowering gpu clockspeeds to reduce gpu load
xXSUBEXx#9544: Will photos of the bios gpu section help?
DarknessFalls229#2286: No?
DarknessFalls229#2286: Pretty sure you cant change gpu settings in the bios except pcie clockspeed
xXSUBEXx#9544: Ok just thaught it may help see you in a bit when windows has updated
TheGeekster#8508: It sounds like a gpu hardware issue, try downloading a benchmarking tool like furmark, run it and see if the pc is stable
xXSUBEXx#9544: ok?1
TheGeekster#8508: https://geeks3d.com/furmark/ |
xXSUBEXx#9544: installed what to launch in it?
xXSUBEXx#9544: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/620322651298070558/unknown.png
TheGeekster#8508: Just hit GPU Stress Test and that should be enough
xXSUBEXx#9544: Ok
TheGeekster#8508: then leave it, see what happens over the next 10 minutes, fans should ramp up, see if it crashes
xXSUBEXx#9544: Well it crashed blackscreen Aka no gpu output and fans went to full trottel
TheGeekster#8508: Ah, yeah so it sounds like a serious driver issue, or a GPU hardware issue, don't suppose you've got a spare gpu? another computer or would be comfortable swapping the gpu?
xXSUBEXx#9544: i got my old gaming pc with an apu and a china gpu so cant really swap it in there and it has a login issue when i type my password and enter it refreshes and password gone
xXSUBEXx#9544: its really wierd. Iam considering buying a new gpu on christmas and birthday there 4 days apart
My Vice#8522: it is so sad to see my 1070 is "dead" by dirtyness
My Vice#8522: lel
xXSUBEXx#9544: is yours dead?
My Vice#8522: certainly
alot of dust is already in the backplate
My Vice#8522: not dust but powder i guess |
idk
xXSUBEXx#9544: well clean it then
xXSUBEXx#9544: How
xXSUBEXx#9544: Guess im screwd?
My Vice#8522: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/620325858334212127/20190908_153346.jpg
My Vice#8522: i think i already brought this subject here
TheGeekster#8508: A gpu shouldn't die from that, it could do with a quick dust off, but shouldn't be dead unless it's metallic dust
My Vice#8522: well
thats strange
xXSUBEXx#9544: well mine is dying i guess
My Vice#8522: some time ago i saw one of the ram not working because of dust
xXSUBEXx#9544: clean the slots id say
My Vice#8522: had to use some specific oil and then got back
My Vice#8522: yes
My Vice#8522: we cleaned |
TheGeekster#8508: if dust gets into the connector, then yeah it can cause bad connection, but just give it a quick dusting with an air duster, can of air, fan, just blow it out gently, and it'll be fine 🤔
My Vice#8522: i think the PCIE of the gpu is fucked up
My Vice#8522: not the gpu
My Vice#8522: that motherboard is used tho
My Vice#8522: no problem using the second slot?
xXSUBEXx#9544: well I cant play games it literally CRASHES
My Vice#8522: ill wait for later, try to remove it then plug it again and install windows cuz i dont even have that ssd i used on it
My Vice#8522: no problem if i try to clean the pci connector with a eraser?
My Vice#8522: those rubber ones
xXSUBEXx#9544: Can nobody help me?
TheGeekster#8508: It honestly sounds like the physical GPU is having issues, there's not much more we can do here, your best bet is to take it to a computer repair place, and see what they say
Abe.#3344: Best sub-£100 gaming monitor?
Abe.#3344: Higher than 60 refresh and 1080p
TheGeekster#8508: Looking around, most decent monitors with above 60hz that aren't shit, are above £100
My Vice#8522: damn |
My Vice#8522: i dont think i installed my gpu correctly
My Vice#8522: im scared
BigPierogi#3368: there are 75z 1980p ones
BigPierogi#3368: what do you mean
My Vice#8522: i was holding it then it made a little sound while i was trying to connect the 8 pin
My Vice#8522: i forced my fingers a little on the part i was holding
BigPierogi#3368: sound?
My Vice#8522: right there near the pins https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/620357133854048276/JPEG_20190908_173808.jpg
BigPierogi#3368: i dont really see a problem
My Vice#8522: oh
My Vice#8522: im scared of turning on and going wrong
BigPierogi#3368: why?
My Vice#8522: ill only see if it still displays
BigPierogi#3368: its not gonna blow up
BigPierogi#3368: it goes in 1 way |
My Vice#8522: idk
it wasnt working the last day i used
Abe.#3344: It's meant to make a click sound btw @My Vice
Abe.#3344: Unplug and plug back in
My Vice#8522: it works i guess.. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/620359123007045637/JPEG_20190908_174604.jpg

My Vice#8522: it wasnt working last time i used it..
My Vice#8522: but im scared of showing this to my father
BigPierogi#3368: why
My Vice#8522: he said not to touch it again
My Vice#8522: but im sick of using my low end system
My Vice#8522: and having a fucking 1070 + 2600K doing nothing
TheGeekster#8508: (neat case, they're pretty rare and expensive now)
Alcyone#2233: My p67 motherboard failed similarly, would hang on pcie during post but sometimes boot and work fine until shut off again. one day it just quit while watching youtube. Got a new motherboard and all was well for 2 more years until I sold it.
My Vice#8522: gpu wasnt even giving colors |
My Vice#8522: now it simply gives
My Vice#8522: and i made sure it wasnt cable
My Vice#8522: sadly that case fell one time and it is a little broke but still usable
My Vice#8522: but im a little scared of asking to test the pc for a while
My Vice#8522: do u guys know any bench that really f*cks up the gpu?
My Vice#8522: not in the way of harming but a very demanding one
Alcyone#2233: ungine valley will simulate 3d gaming and push DX11 gpus to 100% without punishing the vrm
My Vice#8522: well okay
My Vice#8522: ill try it and Kombustor
My Vice#8522: a 2 minute run should be fine

BigPierogi#3368: is more score good
BigPierogi#3368: my
BigPierogi#3368: is my score good for my specs
BigPierogi#3368: i also oc the gpu core 200mhz and memory |
Alcyone#2233: I suppose for your specs but the 4350 is holding the polaris back
BigPierogi#3368: hold on
BigPierogi#3368: i think thats the wrong one
BigPierogi#3368: yep it is
BigPierogi#3368: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/620373248173015051/Unigine_Heaven_Benchmark_4.0_20190820_1531.html
BigPierogi#3368: this is the real one
BigPierogi#3368: with my current specs
My Vice#8522: too bad
he didnt let me use the pc so no testing
Xbox 360 1953#2640: i have a dell xps aio
Xbox 360 1953#2640: and it looks like it has a dummy mxm gpu
Xbox 360 1953#2640: is there a way to see what exatly the thing is
Xbox 360 1953#2640: this is what it looks like https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/620422518494330900/VDCD-00097-1__86823.png
JustinXenyx#8854: Not really worth replacing, that's an MXM2 card
JustinXenyx#8854: The current standard is MXM3/3.1 |
JustinXenyx#8854: Which means MXM2 cards are gonna be old as shit and probably not perform great
TheFifthAce#4128: :ULTRAKEK: pretty sure this is the best card that will fit that
TheFifthAce#4128: https://www.ebay.com/i/362685250535?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=362685250535&targetid=541453972932&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9008419&poi=&campaignid=1881505361&mkgroupid=70176756156&rlsatarget=pla-541453972932&abcId=1139336&merchantid=6296724&gclid=CjwKCAjwzdLrBRBiEiwAEHrAYihVFR2r1Gba5_OyYMbs-9zhjxMPZEU81giJlJ6YMnsLYNZHjY8J9hoCBcEQAvD_BwE
TheFifthAce#4128: which is literally weaker than intel hd 3000
nacabaro#2138: They could make more MXM cards
nacabaro#2138: Not many laptops use them
TheGeekster#8508: MXM is a dead thing unfortunately, no one used them, it was more expensive and bulky to implement than onboard gpus, laptops aren't upgradable in general, so what's the point in making the GPU removable? Cheaper & thinner designs can be done without the connector
JustinXenyx#8854: I wouldn't call MXM dead yet, but it will be soon
JustinXenyx#8854: It's only used in very high end devices now, because most manufacturers aim to make their regular laptops as thin as possible now, like Geekster said
SussyBalls#4615: i hate the thin craze that's been happening, now I sometimes can't even upgrade the ram
JustinXenyx#8854: I like that a lot of stuff is way thinner now, but manufacturers are starting to get insane
JustinXenyx#8854: Like Apple with just 1 USB-C/Thunderbolt port on their 12" Macbook
TheGeekster#8508: Yeah, trouble is we aren't the mainstream I guess, most people don't really do shit with their laptop beyond facebook & youtube, they like the idea of phones, as clean and simple as possible
nacabaro#2138: now that you mention it, with external GPUs and Thunderbolt 3, MXM is dead
SussyBalls#4615: Eh external gpus are still bulky and unpractical |
TheGeekster#8508: Aye, but when someone wants to play games on their laptop, it's rarely on the move
JustinXenyx#8854: Plus they're bandwidth bottlenecked @SussyBalls
JustinXenyx#8854: I'd really like a 2-port Thunderbolt dock, because a X8 connection is plenty for most GPUs
kittycat959#2895: My laptop can see a drive which has windows installed but won't let me boot from it
TheGeekster#8508: set the boot priority in the bios to the other drive, take out the drive with the windows you don't want to boot to
kittycat959#2895: It's not showing in the bios
kittycat959#2895: That's the issue
TheGeekster#8508: ah, do you know if the drive is actually any good? what if you swap it into the same place as the drive that *does* work?
kittycat959#2895: Drive shows in Linux usb and everything
kittycat959#2895: Just won't let me boot from it
TheGeekster#8508: if it doesn't show in the bios, but does show in linux, it means the laptop can't boot from that second bay, is it in a normal hard drive bay? or in an optical drive bay adapter?
kittycat959#2895: M.2
TheGeekster#8508: ah :thinking_peter: that's... weird
TheGeekster#8508: but basically if it doesn't show in bios, the laptop won't boot to it
kittycat959#2895: Yeah |
kittycat959#2895: Think I've really screwed myself tho
kittycat959#2895: A video said to clear secure boot keys
kittycat959#2895: And I realise what they do now
kittycat959#2895: I disabled secure boot but windows still won't boot
TheGeekster#8508: has it booted this drive before?
TheGeekster#8508: and are you using the right boot type for the drive? Pretty sure it has to be UEFI boot mode for m.2
kittycat959#2895: Hasn't booted this drive before
kittycat959#2895: Imma just return the laptop
kittycat959#2895: Only problem is because I removed the secure boot keys windows won't boot
TheGeekster#8508: Was it a fresh version of windows?
TheGeekster#8508: You could just reinstall windows onto the m.2 if it shows up in the installer?
the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: PC detects 4 GB but I have 8 , reseated ram no post , removed ram till post , one of them is keeping PC from posting , and one works fine swapped slots maybe its slot , still no post , removed bad ram stick while slots still swapped and post so its not the slot its a ram stick , cleaned stick very good put it in still no post
the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: Is my ram stick dead?
the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: And is there a way to know for sure
JustinXenyx#8854: Does your RAM have an XMP profile? @the aggresive toilet flusher |
the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: No
Xbox 360 1953#2640: I just don't know whether that is a gpu or like a ram extension or something
Deleted User#0000: I5 2400 or i5 3330?
JustinXenyx#8854: negligible difference, go with the cheaper one @Deleted User
Deleted User#0000: both the same price
JustinXenyx#8854: 3330 it is then
Xbox 360 1953#2640: depends on the chipset
Xbox 360 1953#2640: i have a friend with an i5 3330 and it didnt work in his mobo because of the chipset
Xbox 360 1953#2640: or at least thats what we think it was
My Vice#8522: so
My Vice#8522: my father HATES amd
BigPierogi#3368: why
My Vice#8522: how can i convince him that it isnt bad to get a R5 3600?
My Vice#8522: a
My Vice#8522: its because of the Bulldozer era |
My Vice#8522: the FX
BigPierogi#3368: tell him hes stupid
BigPierogi#3368: like my brother
BigPierogi#3368: show him price/performance
BigPierogi#3368: and benchmarks
My Vice#8522: he doesnt believe
My Vice#8522: or tells that it will not be working correctly for long time like an intel
My Vice#8522: gonna melt or something
JustinXenyx#8854: Tell him there's either that option, or getting fucking ripped off @My Vice
My Vice#8522: i think ill go 4790K anyways
My Vice#8522: i already got the mobo and the ram
My Vice#8522: even though the jump from the 2600k wouldnt be that good
BigPierogi#3368: i mean
BigPierogi#3368: ive had a fx for like 2-3 yeras
BigPierogi#3368: it hasnt exceeded 45c |
BigPierogi#3368: even under full load
JustinXenyx#8854: That's not true @BigPierogi
JustinXenyx#8854: FX temperature readings were way off, so there was no way your 4350 stayed at 45C full load
BigPierogi#3368: are you sure
BigPierogi#3368: i have a beefy cooler
BigPierogi#3368: like mega thicc
JustinXenyx#8854: Yes, because the FXs temperature sensor is retarded and doesn't correspond to Celsius or Fahrenheit
JustinXenyx#8854: Most temp reading programs are trying to interoperate data that is complete bullshit to them
BigPierogi#3368: i used a tempature sensor on my cooler
BigPierogi#3368: like
BigPierogi#3368: one of those guns
BigPierogi#3368: i think it was like 98f
JustinXenyx#8854: That's cooler temps then, not die temps
JustinXenyx#8854: Cooler temps are always lower than die temps
JustinXenyx#8854: AMD Overdrive is the only program that can properly read that shitty temp sensor inside FX chips, ~~but it doesn't give you a proper temp, it basically just shows you how much thermal headroom you still have~~ |
JustinXenyx#8854: Bullshit, it gives you a temperature, but that temperature just tells you how far away you are from reaching the maximum safe CPU temperature
BigPierogi#3368: should i get over ride
BigPierogi#3368: does it oc
BigPierogi#3368: or boos tthe cpu
JustinXenyx#8854: I used AMD Overdrive to OC an AMD E2 3200 APU rig on an OEM motherboard lol
BigPierogi#3368: i should oc
BigPierogi#3368: i have a lot of potential
BigPierogi#3368: with my big boy coole
JustinXenyx#8854: You should do that via the motherboard though tbh
JustinXenyx#8854: Overdrive is pretty wonky and can crash a system very easily
My Vice#8522: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/620724031510937633/unknown.png
JustinXenyx#8854: Honestly, i'd probably sell the LGA1150 equipment you already have and grab ryzen @My Vice
JustinXenyx#8854: 1150 is still worth a decent chunk of money, so you'd be better off doing it now than later
My Vice#8522: yeah but the 1150 system is my father's
My Vice#8522: not mine |
My Vice#8522: its sad i cant get a 8700K with this budget ill have
JustinXenyx#8854: I wouldn't get one tbh
JustinXenyx#8854: the 8700k can get pretty hot
My Vice#8522: ye
My Vice#8522: he says that changing cpu will do nothing
My Vice#8522: its better to get a GPU
My Vice#8522: but i dont have the money to get something better than the 1070 that is already overkill for me
JustinXenyx#8854: Depends on what GPU/CPU you have right now
My Vice#8522: 2600K and 1070
JustinXenyx#8854: yeah, upgrading the GPU seems like a dumb idea
My Vice#8522: well
My Vice#8522: he doesnt believes me
My Vice#8522: even when i show like that im losing 30+ FPS because of CPU
JustinXenyx#8854: The 4790K could be a nice upgrade, it's just not really that big of a platform upgrade
JustinXenyx#8854: AKA the cpu is better, but you don't really get any new features that can be actually useful like NVMe SSDs etc |
My Vice#8522: yeah
My Vice#8522: i mean, the actual MOBO i got rn is really meh
My Vice#8522: i got a 1150 that is like those high end chipset ones
My Vice#8522: idk which
My Vice#8522: Z97X
JustinXenyx#8854: Z97, not Z97X
My Vice#8522: oh ok
JustinXenyx#8854: Z97X was some gigabyte branding i think
My Vice#8522: yes
My Vice#8522: it got amp up if im not wrong
My Vice#8522: plus, DDR3
My Vice#8522: so i dont need to worry about ram
My Vice#8522: already got 16 here
JustinXenyx#8854: To be perfectly honest, unless you get the Z97X Gaming G1, the other Gigabyte Z97X boards are pretty shit
My Vice#8522: i got the gaming 3 |
JustinXenyx#8854: Not really a board i'd personally oc on, low quality VRM
JustinXenyx#8854: otherwise a perfectly usable board
My Vice#8522: im not gonna oc anyway
My Vice#8522: cpu will be completely mine but the rest of the pc not
JustinXenyx#8854: Sounds like a disadvantage tbh
JustinXenyx#8854: What if your dad goes "I want my PC back"
My Vice#8522: nah
My Vice#8522: he got an Alienware
My Vice#8522: not the highest end one
JustinXenyx#8854: Oh, so it's the "You don't actually own the PC, but you can do whatever you want with it and i don't give a shit"
My Vice#8522: yeah
My Vice#8522: ignoring a little the i dont give a shit cuz the gpu is """dead"""" and he is like "dont use."
My Vice#8522: "need to clean"
My Vice#8522: and what, almost 5 months and nothing
My Vice#8522: but yeah i play games like beamng, not the triple A ones too much, so a direct cpu diference is gonna be good i think |
My Vice#8522: single thread
JustinXenyx#8854: Yeah, the single thread is gonna be improved a decent bit
My Vice#8522: rn im using an old 820qm and a 7970m that has a bad heatsink and goes 80C easily
My Vice#8522: so yeah already getting the pc back ill not care that much cuz i got used to this horrible lag
losing fps by cpu generation is not gonna bother so much
JustinXenyx#8854: Ironic, my laptop has a 2960XM and a 6970M and basically has the exact opposite of the issues your laptop has lol
JustinXenyx#8854: Being GPU bottlenecked to shit and back
My Vice#8522: i already killed the gpu's perfomance
My Vice#8522: some retard put a 1920x1200 screen here
My Vice#8522: to something that has bad perfomance even for 720P Low
LaeMat#0420: Ok so I have an HP desktop
LaeMat#0420: The fans spin and stuff but I get no signal
LaeMat#0420: I’ve cleaned the ram sockets and the PCIE socket
SussyBalls#4615: how much do they spin? ie 100% or just a little
mi³nshel#9774: any1 here good with yahoo email related stuff? |
TheGeekster#8508: *move away from it*
Deleted User#0000: Got a pc which doesn't give me a signal, boots up perfectly but just no signal? Any ideas on why?
SussyBalls#4615: Broken port/cable?
Deleted User#0000: don't think so
SussyBalls#4615: well check on the gpu if the port is damaged
SussyBalls#4615: try a different port or integrated graphics if you have that?
Deleted User#0000: Oki
HotShot#8006: So turns out I spent £130 on something I can't use now I also have a PCI WiFi card which gets disabled when I have it installed. Only upside is that technically, if I spent a weekend and more money I might be able to get everything I've got working.
HotShot#8006: I bought a gigabyte PCI express SSD, when I have a TP link WiFi card, an RTX 2070 and a 1TB m.2 nvme SSD
HotShot#8006: I don't think I've got enough PCI express lanes, or, I'm using the wrong slot.
TheGeekster#8508: You spent £130 on a wifi card? 🤔
wapted#6788: £130 o.o
wapted#6788: that could have got you like 300m of cat6 cable
TheGeekster#8508: lol cat6 is like £50 for 300m
wapted#6788: precisely 😄 |
kittycat959#2895: my mate has a beefy usb wifi card, he gets 100mbps through it
wapted#6788: depressing thing is my x470 mini itx board was £130 and has dual band ac 5ghz wifi (1300mbps)
HotShot#8006: I spent £130 on this gigabyte PCI express SSD
HotShot#8006: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/621042546293997621/IMG_20190910_173503581_HDR.jpg

wapted#6788: thats brutal
wapted#6788: what router do you have
HotShot#8006: Im using up my pci express lanes i think
HotShot#8006: My wifi card is something from TP link. My router has nothing to do with it lol
HotShot#8006: Does anyone know a good platform to "upgrade" or swap that has more PCI express lanes than a 6700k?
MythologicalZ#3752: You'd be looking at boards with PLX or HEDT at that point
TheGeekster#8508: pretty sure it's not pcie lane issues, it's going to be motherboard related, look in your motherboard manual 🤔 it'll probably explain why that slot stops working
TheGeekster#8508: it's probably shared between the nvme drive and that port, one will disable the other
MythologicalZ#3752: Some boards disable sata/pcie slots if there's a m.2 drive installed |
wapted#6788: I was wondering if you even have a router to take advantage of that wifi card..
wapted#6788: (Well, access points)
JustinXenyx#8854: Wait a minute, you bought that Aorus SSD and a 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD? @HotShot
JustinXenyx#8854: One of them has to go, you're already choking on lanes lol
JustinXenyx#8854: But in theory it should work if your graphics card was running in x8
HotShot#8006: Yep.
HotShot#8006: I'm probably gonna ditch the 1TB. At least till I upgrade the platform
Deleted User#0000: Is an Intellimouse Optical still a pretty decent mouse? I'm putting together a sleeper build and wanna use it for it. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/621193048277254155/image0.jpg
Deleted User#0000: Please ping me if you answer so it doesn't get buried.
JustinXenyx#8854: Does it work like a mouse should? Yeah. Is it good enough to game in comparison to the loads of gaming mice we have? I'd say no @Deleted User
TheGeekster#8508: It's a neat retro thing, but yeah it'll be shite by modern standards
LaeMat#0420: I had one but now it’s gone and I want it back
Deleted User#0000: @LaeMat how was it?
LaeMat#0420: Meh
LaeMat#0420: I mean I wasn’t gaming so I dunno |
wapted#6788: will function ok
wapted#6788: sure wont compete with a modern mouse but will probs work well enough
Deleted User#0000: yeah i don't do anything seriously competitive so it should be fine
SuSSudio#2688: I'm pretty torn rn, whether i should install win 7 or win 10 for my desktop... My mobo was built during win 7 era (G41 LGA 775) with most of its drivers designed for it...
I'm concerning its performance & compatibility with older drivers...
TheGeekster#8508: It's getting a bit old for windows 10, but it'll still run, you honestly shouldn't see much of a performance difference between the two, you can do some tweaks to help the performance of windows 10 on older hardware too
SuSSudio#2688: I wish win 7 were still supported post 2020... alright then...
TheGeekster#8508: To be fair to microsoft, it's an ancient system now, the costs associated with supporting a piece of software way beyond it's expected lifespan would be too great to even really consider 🤔 the divide between what systems can and can't do would increase
SuSSudio#2688: You got the point... Well i guess i'd just buy a bargain win 7 activation license for my desktop for now... It's really cheap to be bothered about its relevancy & value... I'm devoting Win 7 just for the compatibility.. Will eventually move on when i earn enough money for the next build.
As for Win 10, i'm typing on it right now, on my 2011 netbook, Build 1809. I do face few driver issues & features, but they're not a big deal to my usage. I do enjoy win 10 on this netbook, each updates may improve or break performance, but things looking positive for now. Emojis, which is a must nowadays, is a very nice addition to me opposed to empty square outlines on win 7, lol
I just hated the windows update, atleast before i opt to be on metered connection. You get my point.
Deleted User#0000: I've tried all the standard and basic troubleshooting methods for a pc with no display but nothing has work? Any ideas? |
TheGeekster#8508: unplug everything but the bare minimum, cpu, motherboard, ram, gpu, see if it posts?
TheGeekster#8508: if it doesn't, it's an issue with one of them
SuSSudio#2688: @Deleted User Rub off the RAM contacts with a slightly coarse cloth or tissue, Clear CMOS by pressing such button, or shorting the contacts, or the easiest way, take out the CMOS battery & leave it for roughly 3 mins, then put it back
Deleted User#0000: It boots but no display
TheGeekster#8508: how do you know it boots?
Deleted User#0000: Because the mouse lights up
Deleted User#0000: and I can hear it hit the bios with a beep
TheGeekster#8508: the mouse lighting up just means it's plugged in
Deleted User#0000: Well the bios then
TheGeekster#8508: have you tried a different monitor? does the monitor OSD display? 🤔
Deleted User#0000: ye it does and yes I have
TheGeekster#8508: if you press the power button when it's in this state, does it shut off immediately? or stay on?
SuSSudio#2688: If it hits the BIOS & proceeds to enter BIOS display, you're good
Deleted User#0000: it hits the bios but no display
TheGeekster#8508: there's no display, so... i don't think it's posting, if the pc shuts off immediately by pressing the power button, it's not posting, if it stays on, it's posting so it sounds like the gpu is fucked |
Deleted User#0000: its posting because it doesn't shut off instantly
TheGeekster#8508: okay sounds like the gpu be borked, any chance of spare?
Deleted User#0000: well I'm using my onboard graphics atm but GPU doesn't work either
SuSSudio#2688: hmm, what are you connected to? a TV or monitor?
TheGeekster#8508: ah okay, not much left to test, he's tried a different monitor 🤔
Deleted User#0000: I've tried both @SuSSudio
Deleted User#0000: and ik both have previously worked
TheGeekster#8508: any chance you have a second pc?
Deleted User#0000: Yep
TheGeekster#8508: if you put the GPU into that PC does it work?
Deleted User#0000: and the monitor I am using does work with it but I'll try gpu right now
Deleted User#0000: Yep it gives a display @TheGeekster
Deleted User#0000: so its mobo or cpu
Deleted User#0000: or ram
TheGeekster#8508: yep, any chance they're the same ram? 😂 |
Deleted User#0000: I mean it gives a display in a different system
Deleted User#0000: @TheGeekster ye I'll test them next
Deleted User#0000: Hmmm no display from the ram?
Deleted User#0000: Rip
TheGeekster#8508: huh... would not have thought it was the ram 🤔 that's very very rare
SuSSudio#2688: Was the RAM recently bought in used condition or it's been a while?
TheGeekster#8508: 😩 *have you cleaned your pc by completely disassembling it for no reason?*
Deleted User#0000: @TheGeekster so 2 of the 4 sticks stopped working
Deleted User#0000: but both of those sticks are insured so that's okay
SuSSudio#2688: what make is the ram?
Deleted User#0000: kingston
SuSSudio#2688: internal controller might have died
Deleted User#0000: idk why they would stop working like that
Deleted User#0000: because I haven't taken them out
SuSSudio#2688: On some RAM it's no strange |
Deleted User#0000: well I have more to replace it anyways
Deleted User#0000: and I can just return those
SuSSudio#2688: On my case the windows loading screen becomes corrupted, refused to go beyond that screen
SuSSudio#2688: I've also experienced similar occurrence with both of my RAM sticks (the 4GB & 2GB), but they don't die, will work again after several attempts
SuSSudio#2688: I sold my 2GB stick which allegedly was the worse, no complaints from the buyer so far
Deleted User#0000: well they were a kit of 2x2 so no biggie
SuSSudio#2688: Only the 4GB stick that's returned back to me, claiming he cant POST with his mobo although he has the exact same model, when returned back, only a simple rub that made the RAM work again on my mobo....
SuSSudio#2688: Hmm right
Deleted User#0000: well they are from cex so it's kinda expected that they don't worm
Deleted User#0000: Work*
Deleted User#0000: I'm building up a pile of items which needs returned to them 😂
SuSSudio#2688: lol
Deleted User#0000: I'm testing every stick I have now
Deleted User#0000: Just to make sure
Deleted User#0000: Another Kingston stick is dead :( |
SuSSudio#2688: no way
Deleted User#0000: Ye a 4gb one
SuSSudio#2688: Rub em with rubber eraser
Deleted User#0000: am going to
SuSSudio#2688: or coarse cloth like i told earlier
Deleted User#0000: ye
Deleted User#0000: oof it doesn't give a display on my main pc :(
SuSSudio#2688: damn
Deleted User#0000: so its mobo or cpu aswell
SuSSudio#2688: most likely mobo
SuSSudio#2688: Rarely CPU break down except being extremely oc'ed or being put in dangerous temps constantly
Deleted User#0000: it beeps when it boots
SuSSudio#2688: How many beeps
Deleted User#0000: One
SuSSudio#2688: strange... cause one beep doesnt represent an issue |
Deleted User#0000: Ik
Deleted User#0000: so a ram slot might be dead
Deleted User#0000: because I have a display with a different 2gb stick from a different pc
SuSSudio#2688: i'm certain it's a mobo related issue, so yeah
SussyBalls#4615: On "average" how much of a pc is destroyed in a lightning strike?
Deleted User#0000: @SuSSudio them Kingston sticks work, I rubbed them down with a rubber
SussyBalls#4615: nice
SussyBalls#4615: And I'm asking because a guy had his sons pc was allegedly destroyed in a lightning strike, considering if I'd accept it as a trade in for a little price slash (not too much, considering that it was yeeted by a lightning strike)
JustinXenyx#8854: Depends @SussyBalls
JustinXenyx#8854: Sometimes just the power supply gets fried, sometimes the entire computer
SussyBalls#4615: Well if the specs are good I may just risk it
Deleted User#0000: @SussyBalls does it turn on?
Deleted User#0000: or is it totalled?
SussyBalls#4615: no idea the buyer is buying my pc for a work colleague
so he'll ask tommorow |
Deleted User#0000: okay
Deleted User#0000: because the mostly likely thing to have died is the mobo
Deleted User#0000: And psu
Abe.#3344: Can someone help me make this cheaper?
Abe.#3344: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/L2RPmq
Abe.#3344: The budget is £700
Abe.#3344: But I need to fit a decent KB and M
Abe.#3344: Anyway to make it better and fit in a KBM?
Abe.#3344: It's for a non-tech savy friend so asthetics play a part, as I'm adding it to a portfolio too
Abe.#3344: Because I have no real qualifications for anything yet.
Abe.#3344: And I want a holiday job in a tech store
Abe.#3344: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/Qgw2QZ
Abe.#3344: That instead, just realized I clicked the wrong power supply
TheGeekster#8508: TO be honest, without reducing your specs, or going used, you probably aren't gonna get many savings
Abe.#3344: Yeah, reducing specs is fine |
Abe.#3344: But would like to keep the 3600
Abe.#3344: Cuz it's new and cool
Abe.#3344: Could downgrade the GPU
Abe.#3344: And a cheaper case should work
TheGeekster#8508: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sapphire-Nitro-AMD-Radeon-RX-480-8GB-GDDR5-Graphics-Card-GPU-CrossfireX/202773176997?hash=item2f363922a5:g:Mc4AAOSwoOtdcsmB
TheGeekster#8508: if you're willing to go used, you could make a *huge* saving
TheFifthAce#4128: @Abe. 3600 with a 580 is overkill
TheFifthAce#4128: don't put a 3600 on a pro4
TheFifthAce#4128: better yet, dont get a pro4 in the first place if you can avoid it
TheFifthAce#4128: @Abe. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/FJmT4q
TheFifthAce#4128: I'd do something like this instead
TheFifthAce#4128: 660p is on sale all the fuckin time, just wait until its on sale and snag it for like 20 pounds less
TheFifthAce#4128: wait wtf why a 350w psu
TheFifthAce#4128: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/MC4fMZ
Alcyone#2233: you cant run 3600 out of the box on a b450 unless it has bios flashback button or is already on 3rd gen bios. MSI gaming plus and b450-A pro are the cheapest ones with flashback feature afaik |
Alcyone#2233: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/KfyYnH
cheapest setup for something that will fly, ram is micron rev e that should oc well with a 3rd gen raisin. board can flash bios with no cpu
look for 3000-3200mhz crucial kits with the "AES" in the model number for the good stuff with oc headroom https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/621482207042732033/unknown.png
TheFifthAce#4128: @Alcyone avoid all msi boards for flashback
TheFifthAce#4128: :ULTRAKEK:
TheFifthAce#4128: board bricking hours
LaeMat#0420: i got an MSI B450 Gaming Plus
LaeMat#0420: and i used flashback
LaeMat#0420: EZ
LaeMat#0420: just make sure to complete your whole PC and update bios after it's all finished
Ramiere#1840: Hey are Western digital drives reliable?
wapted#6788: as good as any other
Ramiere#1840: Better than Seagate
wapted#6788: WD has a pretty excellent reputation regarding reliability |
wapted#6788: but as always its typically a drive by drive basis in terms of failure rates
Ramiere#1840: Ha tell that to my 1tb that just failed
Ramiere#1840: Oh
wapted#6788: Chances are any new WD hard drives you are looking at will be fine
Ramiere#1840: Btw you know any ways to get it working long enough to get my data off?
wapted#6788: wellllllllll, depends how it failed 😄
Ramiere#1840: I have no clue why it failed honestly
I put a folder in a folder and it started clicking and vibrating I didn't like the sound so I restarted my PC and it wouldn't spin anymore
wapted#6788: Hmm, could be the read head stuck on the platters, but honestly, would need to have the drive in hand to have any real idea
wapted#6788: in anycase, if it has data you rlllly need on, stop now and go to data recovery (expensive yes but..)
wapted#6788: if its just 'nice to get the data but not critical', plug the drive in and cross your fingers, might spin up again?
Ramiere#1840: No nothing too important except all my blender stuff and two Sony Vegas videos
Tried plugging in into a different slot and everything but it doesn't work |
I left it plugged in and every once I'll hear some sputter come from it and it'll go back to being dead
wapted#6788: Ah what a pain eh! What ya doin' in blender?
Ramiere#1840: Nothing yet lol I was just starting out really I heard you could convert sfm files Into .blend files and after fiddling with it for a while it got messy so I put a folder in the folder and that's when it started dying
Ramiere#1840: So if it is the head stuck on the platter how would one go about fixing it?
wapted#6788: er well
wapted#6788: is it spinning?
Ramiere#1840: Nope I feel no movement when I pick it up
Ramiere#1840: And the metal part on the back isn't warm or anything like it usually is
wapted#6788: oh dear...
wapted#6788: well... doesnt sound like a simple 'bodge at home to get working for a bit' kinda thing then 😄
Ramiere#1840: Welp I was gonna get a new one anyway just wished I could get my stuff off of it
Ramiere#1840: Thank you for your help
Ramiere#1840: Greatly appreciated
SuSSudio#2688: Any used video card recommendations for late 2019?? |
kittycat959#2895: R9 280 or 380 if you want high at 1080p imo @SuSSudio
kittycat959#2895: Rx580 or 1060 is also a pretty good option
SuSSudio#2688: Hmm... I don't need high textures, but 1080p certainly is my need. I just need a stable & high framerate @kittycat959
kittycat959#2895: I have a 380 and at high with ultra textures I get 60fps in bf5
kittycat959#2895: Medium is about 80 ish
SuSSudio#2688: Sounds promising but my new PSU will only be 400W. 80+ efficiency
kittycat959#2895: Yeah maybe not best for an R9 card then
kittycat959#2895: 580 or 1060 is pretty cheap though
kittycat959#2895: And power efficient
SuSSudio#2688: Alright i'll consider those...
TheGeekster#8508: @Ramiere Just an FYI, hard drives, no matter the brand, should only be considered "reliable" for between 3-5 years, after that you're essentially on borrowed time
wapted#6788: Never depend on any single drive medium anyway, backups are a must if its data you care about losing 😛
BigPierogi#3368: 😛
exquisitedark#1117: i cant pull out a sata cable
exquisitedark#1117: i want to cut it off |
exquisitedark#1117: i need help
TheGeekster#8508: it's probably got a press release catch on it
SussyBalls#4615: I once ripped off a sata port from being a retard and forgetting about the release button
SussyBalls#4615: Be careful lol
DarknessFalls229#2286: deported
SanteRaptor#2609: my p5kse has had 2 of its sata ports come out no matter how carefully one pulls the cable off
DarknessFalls229#2286: thats a big ouch
DarknessFalls229#2286: luckilty it wasnt that high end of a board
SanteRaptor#2609: yeah
DarknessFalls229#2286: still, a shame
SanteRaptor#2609: it still has 2 left and works perfectly otherwise
DarknessFalls229#2286: unable to restore the other ports?
SanteRaptor#2609: yes, they are jyst way too bent
JustinXenyx#8854: also, when the plastic from a sata port comes off you're basically fucked
TheGeekster#8508: sata's a shite connector |
TheGeekster#8508: delicate, brittle and no clear standard for connectors, absolute turd things
SussyBalls#4615: Atleast it's not IDE
TheGeekster#8508: eh 🤔 apart from bent pins... less plastic to go brittle 😂
TheGeekster#8508: even molex is better than sata power
JustinXenyx#8854: I'd argue that molex is a bit wonkier and sata power is a decent bit more practical than molex
TheGeekster#8508: it's more pratical, fits in easier, but holy shit is it fragile
HotShot#8006: RTX 2070 and fallout 4. Dammit Bethesda.
HotShot#8006: I also saw an r9 390 strix for £65 on Facebook. Sadly the person didn't seem too .. interested.. to reply.
HotShot#8006: But as for my issue, is anyone else having frame rate issues with any Bethesda game and RTX cards?
TheGeekster#8508: Ha Bethesda games? Frame rate issues? You must be new here 😩

russ_the_b#5525: 775 right?
SuSSudio#2688: Mhm
russ_the_b#5525: extreme?
SuSSudio#2688: Nope, just regular C2Q
russ_the_b#5525: cool
russ_the_b#5525: never seen an intel cooler like that tho
SuSSudio#2688: It's modified, actually came with its original cooler
russ_the_b#5525: looks much better
SuSSudio#2688: The deepcool fan that came with it causes power issues with my mobo, such as freezing in BIOS, wrong rpm reading (365K rpm lol)
russ_the_b#5525: oof
russ_the_b#5525: never thought a fan can do all that like the most it wouldnt run well so cpu over heats or something
SuSSudio#2688: The fan does spin the way it does, but my mobo doesnt like it lol
SuSSudio#2688: Voltage reading shows 12.4V, which is very healthy compared to my dying 10 year old PSU, at 11.8V on daily
russ_the_b#5525: i got a pc myself recently but i made mistake of getting an old oem and the mobo busted
russ_the_b#5525: so now i will have change the mobo psu cooler and case |
SuSSudio#2688: That sucks,,
russ_the_b#5525: yeah its a really weird oem imagine a psu without 22pin connector
russ_the_b#5525: whole mobo is flipped
russ_the_b#5525: damn hp and their pcs
SuSSudio#2688: proprietary stuff i see
russ_the_b#5525: mhm currently in the process of taking it apart
SuSSudio#2688: Does most if not all modern PSUs comes with 2x4 3V cpu power plugs by default? To be frank i was confused when i first examined my new PSU, i thought it wasn't compatible with my mobo until i try to split the plug..
SussyBalls#4615: Nearly all do
SussyBalls#4615: Also, what's the difference between the Optiplex 3020, 7020 and 9020??
TheFifthAce#4128: basically nothing

BigPierogi#3368: 5400rpm
TheFifthAce#4128: ^
BigPierogi#3368: A bit slow
TheFifthAce#4128: well no |
TheFifthAce#4128: its going to be about the same speed as a 7200 rpm 1tb
Ramiere#1840: That's like the old one I had it failed not too long ago you have any idea how to get it running long enough to get a couple files off of it

Deleted User#0000: I'm in the process of testing the gpu right now to see if it works
JustinXenyx#8854: I think you're going at this wrong
JustinXenyx#8854: First, tear the PC down to MINIMUM |
JustinXenyx#8854: AKA enough components for boot, NOTHING else
JustinXenyx#8854: If that works, start adding parts
JustinXenyx#8854: If it doesn't, replace the like 5 parts you have until you find the issue.
Deleted User#0000: Ye that's what I'm doing right now but I dont have the parts to replace the mobo or the cpu

SanteRaptor#2609: so its as baf as the a400
SanteRaptor#2609: cant be
SanteRaptor#2609: where are your sources?
SanteRaptor#2609: all i can find about is that its expensive and warranty is shorter
Abe.#3344: Didn't realize the mx500 series was that good... Guess my SSD isn't as bad as I thought
Abe.#3344: I thought BX was meant to be higher end though
TheFifthAce#4128: @SanteRaptor depends |
TheFifthAce#4128: theres the wd blue
TheFifthAce#4128: and then theres the wd blue 3d
TheFifthAce#4128: the 2d blue just happens to have more failures
TheFifthAce#4128: I'd still pick it over an a400

Evvy#0001: i got the SN750
it's p good as far as i can tell
RylieTW#0379: Thinking about upgrading from the RX580 to the RX5700XT, should I?
DarknessFalls229#2286: if you believe its worth the money and will fit into your system then sure
DarknessFalls229#2286: just dont get a reference
Impish#5173: is ***adata su650 120gb*** good for the $?
DarknessFalls229#2286: depends on the $
JustinXenyx#8854: @DarknessFalls229 *reference design
JustinXenyx#8854: Founders edition is just a fancy NVIDIA marketing term
DarknessFalls229#2286: yeah, figured, couldnt come up with the amd name |
Impish#5173: so is mx500 better for the $ then
DarknessFalls229#2286: wasnt what i implied nor asked
Impish#5173: is nv/me better than ssd for desktop?
DarknessFalls229#2286: nvme is faster than sata 3 yes
JustinXenyx#8854: @Impish Look at the 3rd message that's pinned
JustinXenyx#8854: Says something about asking if something is a deal or not
Impish#5173: i see
Impish#5173: but that has nothing to do with which is better]
Impish#5173: nvme then sata
Impish#5173: like for desktop
Impish#5173: i heard its worse for desktop
JustinXenyx#8854: I was referring to your first question
Impish#5173: alright
JustinXenyx#8854: NVMe is faster than SATA3 by a lot, but in the real world you're not really gonna tell a difference between them
DarknessFalls229#2286: "but that has nothing to do with which is better]" |

kasey unblock jesse#0395: Nvm man I’m just gonna reset it. It’s full of junk anyways
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Again nvm. It gives me a fucking error when resetting too
Alcyone#2233: the drive might have failed
Alcyone#2233: try cmos reset to endsure its not a hardware config, if it still cant install windows I'd bet the drive has just did a ded |
Alcyone#2233: oh check the sata and power cables on both ends, make sure they are fully seated
Deleted User#0000: How old is the drive?
Deleted User#0000: My PC did do that a few years ago
Deleted User#0000: I cant remember what i did but i did something that fixed it
Deleted User#0000: I do recall i just replaced the drive but dont quote me on that
Deleted User#0000: @kasey unblock jesse
kasey unblock jesse#0395: @Deleted User isn’t the drive happend after a crash
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Something with memory
Deleted User#0000: 🤔
kasey unblock jesse#0395: (12gb). Still I was only playing rust which takes max 7.5-8gb and I never crashed from it
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Took the overclocks off. Now it won’t see my 6gbs controller.
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Cleared cmos. Had a lot of custom shit in there. Maybe something is crashing windows on launch.
Deleted User#0000: 🤔
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Yes
kasey unblock jesse#0395: That is my mood rn |
Deleted User#0000: 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Yes I get it
Deleted User#0000: Hang on should i send 2 more for good measure?
Deleted User#0000: 🤔 🤔
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Perfect
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I’m still on x58 so my 6gbs is a seperate controller intergrated. I once set it on boot priority i don’t know how tho.
kasey unblock jesse#0395: So what is IDE / AHCI mode
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I can configure one of them on it
Deleted User#0000: 🤷
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Are you able to help me in any way?
Deleted User#0000: No mate sorry ive got no idea on this one
Deleted User#0000: No win Error code when fixing etc?
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It’s a loop. It restarts and gets me back at the same screen
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Then you can click restart
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Or advanced settings |
Deleted User#0000: Ah yes
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I don’t know wtf to do in cmd. Then go to windows won’t work. Neither does reset
Deleted User#0000: Try Advanced Options?
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I told you :p
kasey unblock jesse#0395: In advanced options you get a few results.
kasey unblock jesse#0395: God damn you old hardware
Deleted User#0000: What *advanced options* is it displaying?
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Now it won’t even boot on the fucking drive
Deleted User#0000: **ee**
Deleted User#0000: Could be HDD then, or something to do with ROM which is unlikely.
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It’s a ssd
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Im gonna try without the controller hol up
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Kay I’m there @Deleted User
Deleted User#0000: SSD - Ah i get you now
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Man it’s not the drive |
Deleted User#0000: I know xD
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It was a memory issue when it crashed
kasey unblock jesse#0395: That’s what it displayed
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Now it’s in this godforsaken loop
Deleted User#0000: :Thonking:
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Oh yippee it’s doing it again
kasey unblock jesse#0395: :Xdxdxd:

Deleted User#0000: 🤦
Deleted User#0000: If it helps i once accidentally switched my language to chinese and for 30 minutes was trying to change it back again |
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Advanced options is turn Pc off, continu to windows. Solve problem(ain’t gonna work)
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Solve problem gives me the option to reset and more
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Reset didn’t work
Deleted User#0000: Click solve problem for a second
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Did that
Deleted User#0000: Im just investigating myself if you know what i mean
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Then I get advanced options or reset
Deleted User#0000: I think if you reset you can keep your data.
Deleted User#0000: Just resets the basic OS
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I tried resetting
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I don’t care bout any data
Deleted User#0000: What did resetting do?
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I forgot let me try again
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It gave me some message
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It’s preparing, I’ll ping you when it’s done |

BigPierogi#3368: windows wont boot
BigPierogi#3368: or reinstall
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I pinged before
BigPierogi#3368: or do anything
BigPierogi#3368: well might as well try again
kasey unblock jesse#0395: No one awnsered
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I’ve had it before someone fixed it. Don’t know who
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Or how |
kasey unblock jesse#0395: To long ago
BigPierogi#3368: is it a ssd
BigPierogi#3368: or hdd
BigPierogi#3368: and how old is the drive
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Sorry did some shit in the bios
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It’s seems to be recognizing them now @BigPierogi
kasey unblock jesse#0395: The ssd might be 2 years old. Just use it for windows. The hdds are older not sure. Just put pictures on them. And games with short loading times on the other one that’s from I think 2010. This was a bios issue tho. The installer not seeing them.
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It’s installing now we will see later, damn that’s a long message.
JustinXenyx#8854: So, what is going on here?
JustinXenyx#8854: I've read some stuff about a busted windows install, now there's some driver shit going on? @kasey unblock jesse
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I lost it to man
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Wait a minute please
kasey unblock jesse#0395: @JustinXenyx okay so after a windows update some drivers got fucky
kasey unblock jesse#0395: A bit later I crashed, something with memory. Then it was in an infinite windows repair loop
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Nothing worked not even stuff via CMD on Microsoft’s site. So I wanted to reinstall. For some reason it wouldn’t let me install unless I used the 6gbs controller for sata (took me a while to find out) |
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Now I have windows again yay.
kasey unblock jesse#0395: DONT update. More people have had funky shit going on with it.
JustinXenyx#8854: By chance, did you also install the most recent updates?
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Yeah
JustinXenyx#8854: My laptops userprofile got fucked aswell by them, restoring didn't work and doing some weird registry shit didn't either, so i had to reinstall
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It’s the update as I said.
kasey unblock jesse#0395: After that my bios was just being fucky
kasey unblock jesse#0395: But I spend way to much time trying to save the windows for some pictures
kasey unblock jesse#0395: @JustinXenyx any reason why a fresh install is insanely slow?
JustinXenyx#8854: it's probably still installing stuff in the background
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Yeah proba
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Probs*
kasey unblock jesse#0395: It sees al the 6gbs drives now. But it won’t see the drive not connected to the controller in windows.
kasey unblock jesse#0395: I’m done. Just gonna buy a single 2tb drive.
kasey unblock jesse#0395: Drive usage 100% |

SuSSudio#2688: Here someone would choke me about $150+ for a used 2008 mac
SuSSudio#2688: Lol it's Power Mac G5 from 03 actually lmao
SuSSudio#2688: 08 mac would set me back even more
wapted#6788: the mac g5 cases are great aesthetically imo

Rysing Dragoon#5628: Can anyone help me with the UEFI? I have no clue how it works.
JustinXenyx#8854: What kind of UEFI? Every motherboard has a different looking one depending on the manufacturer
Rysing Dragoon#5628: ASRock UEFI |
Rysing Dragoon#5628: It has to do with the OC Tweaker
Rysing Dragoon#5628: I can't get the settings to work properly
Rysing Dragoon#5628: I have the CPU frequency to 3700mhz but it's still applying the stock speeds
Rysing Dragoon#5628: Same issue with the ram
Rysing Dragoon#5628: I have it set to 3200mhz but it's still at 2133mhz
Rysing Dragoon#5628: What do I do
wapted#6788: 3200 on a ryzen 1200?
wapted#6788: what ram kit?
Rysing Dragoon#5628: Corsair vengeance LPX
JustinXenyx#8854: It's probably not liking the RAM setting and resetting itself
wapted#6788: try 3000 with the xmp profile
JustinXenyx#8854: Ryzen 1000 was shit with anything over 3000Mhz
Rysing Dragoon#5628: Oh
Rysing Dragoon#5628: Well I might have that fixed
Rysing Dragoon#5628: How about the CPU speeds? |
Rysing Dragoon#5628: I have it set for 3700mhz but it's still at stock speeds
wapted#6788: Had the 1200, it will do 3.7 very easily in all cass really, might need some slight vcore adjustment
Rysing Dragoon#5628: Should I change the voltage?
Rysing Dragoon#5628: Oh
wapted#6788: try booting with ram at 3000 first
wapted#6788: then move onto cpu OC
Rysing Dragoon#5628: Ok
Rysing Dragoon#5628: Damn, that really sucks
Rysing Dragoon#5628: I can't use my RAM's full potential
Rysing Dragoon#5628: I just hope this works though
wapted#6788: Even if it only works with 2933, the fact you have a kit that can do 3200mhz (maybe more) means if/when you upgrade to a later gen ryzen cpu, can get the benefits of it
Rysing Dragoon#5628: Well, at least I have that going for me
Rysing Dragoon#5628: Still, really wish I could use all of it
Rysing Dragoon#5628: Welp, time for a restart

TheFifthAce#4128: @Rysing Dragoon that voltage is way too low
TheFifthAce#4128: lol
TheFifthAce#4128: well
TheFifthAce#4128: for 3700 its not low
Rysing Dragoon#5628: At this point, I'm not really going to bother with OCing for now
Rysing Dragoon#5628: I'm crashing way too much just from experimenting what I should have
TheFifthAce#4128: boof

TheFifthAce#4128: it wont let me enable it
kittycat959#2895: It should request to use it when you enter the webpage @TheFifthAce
kittycat959#2895: If you press in the flash enabled content
Lady Mipha#0611: ^ |
TheGeekster#8508: @TheFifthAce Press the little toggle next to "Block sites from running flash" and it'll change to "ask first" it's stupid design
Impish#5173: HEY I NED PHONE HELP ASAP
Impish#5173: so ive got a p9 lite and i was listening to music and browsing the internet when out of no were it searched ever passed search resolt and froze for a bit so i turned it on and off,afte rthat it went from ***down so quick*** ***around like % per second*** now when i charge it it has the red light but no animation and its stuck at 0%
Impish#5173: help
JustinXenyx#8854: P9 Lite? How old is it?
Impish#5173: 2016
Impish#5173: its on 5% loading really slowyly
Impish#5173: could it be that i barley fully discharge my phone?
JustinXenyx#8854: I think your battery just shit itself and needs replacing
Impish#5173: i mean its 6% now xD
Impish#5173: your right
Impish#5173: so which phones make good batterys which arent shit samsung? @JustinXenyx
JustinXenyx#8854: What
JustinXenyx#8854: Phones can't make batteries lol
Impish#5173: jesusno lkike |
Impish#5173: copamnys which make them
Impish#5173: for e.g huawie etc etc
Impish#5173: like my huawei hpoines has a huawei battery
Impish#5173: like made bhy huawei
TheFifthAce#4128: pretty sure they dont make the batteries
TheFifthAce#4128: CATL makes all of huaweis batteries according to two seconds on google
TheGeekster#8508: Pretty sure he means which phones don't have shit batteries, and that depends massively on your budget :thinking_peter: Moto G7 Power is pretty good, 2 days of decent usage
TheGeekster#8508: oh, no, you're actually right, his battery just needs replacing now i look at it
Impish#5173: hm alright
Impish#5173: it takes 2.5 hours to charge fully were it used to take around 1
TheGeekster#8508: i'd try getting an OEM genuine replacement battery, not a generic cheap one, that should get it back to when you brought it
Impish#5173: alright
Impish#5173: i'm probably going to get a g7 for Christmas so ill just wait i guess
Impish#5173: thanks for the help
Impish#5173: last question |
Impish#5173: is xiaomi note 7 a good choice like is the battery good as in good quality and if it isnt what phones are (for the price of a xiaomi note 7)
Impish#5173: my battery :
Impish#5173: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/623207630063534100/Screenshot_20190916-192351.png
TheGeekster#8508: I'm going to throw out an unpopular opinion, but cheap phones from chinese brands generally last a lot less than the equivalent brand like sony, samsung, lg, etc
DarknessFalls229#2286: that is usually the case
DarknessFalls229#2286: when you use cheaper, less durable materials
Impish#5173: I mean I originally bought it for 200$ in 2016 so I wouldn't say it's a cheap phone but I understand u
wapted#6788: these days under $100000 is a cheap phone
Impish#5173: So old flagship phones such as s7 are better then mid range phones for eg note 7 yes ?
TheGeekster#8508: the note series is actually generally better than the S series, but basically the more expensive the phone when released, the better it'll be and the longer it'll last. an S7 will last a *lot* longer than most other phones as it was flagship
wapted#6788: Both my parents still use the S7
wapted#6788: still solid, tho wouldnt get it now of course
JustinXenyx#8854: he's not talking about the samsung note @TheGeekster
JustinXenyx#8854: he means the xiaomi ones
wapted#6788: ^ |
TheGeekster#8508: ohhhhhh cuz... individual names are difficult now for brands
wapted#6788: only so many lettes and numbers exist
wapted#6788: limited selection of words
TheGeekster#8508: *not even gonna start on how that's wrong*
wapted#6788: https://giphy.com/gifs/bfd-xT77XTpyEzJ4OJO06c
Sol Invictuvs#0301: woud a rtx 2060 and ryzen 5 2600 be good torin cyberpunk or coud i get a beater price on something else
JustinXenyx#8854: As Cyberpunk 2077 has not yet been released we can't really give accurate advice on that, as we don't know how it'll actually run. The only thing we can base our advice on right now is predictions
TheGeekster#8508: Think Watchdogs... it's been hyped up enough, it probably won't be quite as smooth as it should be
Impish#5173: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/623494951451230225/Screenshot_20190917-142607.png
JustinXenyx#8854: Those aren't accurate though, because they've never been confirmed by CDPR @Impish
JustinXenyx#8854: Nah, CDPR knows how to make good games and how to port them to PC, Witcher 3 was an example of that. Watch Dogs was just a super shit port tbh @TheGeekster
TheGeekster#8508: oh aye, that's what i mean, we don't know what cyberpunk is aimed at
Budget#8265: Its also hasnt released yet, every company can make a shit show of a port, but I will give credit to CDPR their track record is good
MagiWasTaken#4357: Heya! I'm getting closer to building my pc/buying the parts and all that for the first time. I'd like to be able to run MHW, so I'm currently trying to go along with the recommended specs while still saving a bit of money here and there.
My question is about the video card: AMD Radeon RX 570X (VRAM 4GB) is recommended BUT |
I'm comparing to other cards that are slightly cheaper and about as good on this side here and have no idea about those facts there.
https://versus.com/en/amd-radeon-rx-570x-vs-amd-radeon-rx-580-vs-amd-radeon-rx-590
What do you guys think? Is there an even better option or should I pick on out of those three? I'd also like to get into streaming, so would those work?
JustinXenyx#8854: The 570X is a OEM card, meaning it was never intended for the commercial market
JustinXenyx#8854: The specs are 100% identical to a regular 570 though
JustinXenyx#8854: Also, that versus site is complete bullshit, it doesn't compare anything realistic
MagiWasTaken#4357: Oh it doesn't? 😮
MagiWasTaken#4357: I just clicked on something
MagiWasTaken#4357: So, I'll just go for a 570 then?
JustinXenyx#8854: Yeah, 570s are also really good value
MagiWasTaken#4357: does it compare to the Rx 580 8gb single card?
MagiWasTaken#4357: like is it better or worse?
JustinXenyx#8854: It's a slight step-down, but not as much of a performance decrease as you'd think
MagiWasTaken#4357: cause the 570 is not available here apparently on my side
MagiWasTaken#4357: and it would cost less |
MagiWasTaken#4357: A different thing is the processor: I'm thinking of getting the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Processor (6x 3.9GHZ/19MB L3 Cache) but someone else recommended the AMD Ryzen 3 3200G Processor (4x 3.6GHZ/4MB L3 Cache). Is that a step down too? I'd say about 30 bucks and it apparently has something called an APU. :C
JustinXenyx#8854: APU means Accelerated Processing Unit, so in AMDs case that actually means that the processor has integrated graphics
JustinXenyx#8854: The Ryzen 5 2600 is based on the same architecture as the Ryzen 3 3200G, so the R5 2600 is far better than the R3 3200G for the money
MagiWasTaken#4357: AMD Ryzen 3 2200G Processor (4X3.5GHZ/6MB L3 Cache) with Radeon Vega 8
AMD Ryzen 5 2400G Processor (4X3.6GHZ/6MB L3 Cache) with Radeon Vega 11
So, as for processors with APUs, there're these two
JustinXenyx#8854: Nononono, they are APUs. Not "processors with APUs"
MagiWasTaken#4357: Oh, okay, what's the difference? :C
JustinXenyx#8854: As i just said lmao, integrated graphics
MagiWasTaken#4357: oh okay
MagiWasTaken#4357: Sorry, I'm completely new to all this stuff
MagiWasTaken#4357: please be patient with me 🙇
JustinXenyx#8854: I have noticed, it's fine though, not everyone knows everything |
MagiWasTaken#4357: Uhm, so, to run MHW, I should stick to which one? :c
MagiWasTaken#4357: I guess, the R5 2600 then.
JustinXenyx#8854: The R5 2600 is the most powerful out of all of those, so you should stick with that one
MagiWasTaken#4357: I guess I'll use the AMD Ryzen CPU Cooler, too, instead of anything with water as I'm completely new to all of this.
MagiWasTaken#4357: also it drops the price by 30 bucks!
SuSSudio#2688: You're not gonna OC it tho are you?
MagiWasTaken#4357: nope, if oc means overclocking
SuSSudio#2688: That'll be fine... i'd recommend an aftermarket thermal paste though... As i read people accidentally pulled their cpu with the cooler (which is bad)
MagiWasTaken#4357: what's an aftermarket thermal paste?
SuSSudio#2688: Example, Deepcool Z5, Arctic MX-4, Thermal Grizzly
TheFifthAce#4128: mx2 is cheap and good
MagiWasTaken#4357: what does it do? :c
TheFifthAce#4128: its a topping for your bagel
MagiWasTaken#4357: ._.
TheFifthAce#4128: + |
TheFifthAce#4128: yum yum
kittycat959#2895: acts as an intermediary layer between cpu and heatink to fill in imperfections and improve thermal conductivity
MagiWasTaken#4357: I see!
kittycat959#2895: like butter in bread tbf
kittycat959#2895: better butter tastier sandwich
kittycat959#2895: better thermal paste cooler cpu
TheFifthAce#4128: yummy thermal cum sandwich
JustinXenyx#8854: @TheFifthAce Please don't joke, he said he basically knows nothing about computers
TheFifthAce#4128: oh
TheFifthAce#4128: yike
MagiWasTaken#4357: So, if I wanted to get into streaming, would I need to overclock it or would it work? Is there something else that I need to be careful about like the motherboard, hdd, sdd or anything like that (which I don't even know).
TheFifthAce#4128: you dont need to oc
SuSSudio#2688: Technically there will always be a space, a very small space between CPU and the heatsink
kittycat959#2895: Ocing is more for fun on ryzen, your not gonna see that major performance gains
TheFifthAce#4128: ocing ryzen barely gets any gains regardless |
MagiWasTaken#4357: I see!
kittycat959#2895: Ryzen almost ocs itself
TheFifthAce#4128: You'll spend more time ocing ram than you would the actual CPU, lol
kittycat959#2895: So there isn't much left for you to do manually
TheFifthAce#4128: I got my ram down to 2733cl10 which is i n s a n e
SuSSudio#2688: When the cpu is operating, the die spreads heat to the top of the IHS, many decades ago you don't need a heatsink for your CPU
MagiWasTaken#4357: uhm, what's an sdd and hdd btw? :c
TheFifthAce#4128: solid state drive
TheFifthAce#4128: hard disk drive
MagiWasTaken#4357: what does that do?
SuSSudio#2688: However, as transistor becomes denser & the raising numbers of instructions, you will need a peripheral called heatsink to help compensate heat
TheFifthAce#4128: ssd fast boi :dabonthehaters:
kittycat959#2895: Ssd has no moving parts and is faster, put windows on that, HDD is slower but cheaper and larger storage, use that for games
SuSSudio#2688: SSD/HDD stores data for every data processed from your system
SuSSudio#2688: This includes OS |
MagiWasTaken#4357: So, I need both then!
TheFifthAce#4128: I mean
TheFifthAce#4128: depending on your budget, just get a big ssd
TheFifthAce#4128: :dabonthehaters:
SuSSudio#2688: ^^
TheFifthAce#4128: and use case
TheFifthAce#4128: like a single 500gb/1tb ssd is usually fine for most people
kittycat959#2895: I have a 256gb SSD for windows and programs
MagiWasTaken#4357: what's case?
TheFifthAce#4128: use case
TheFifthAce#4128: your case of use
MagiWasTaken#4357: use case?
TheFifthAce#4128: your situation of use
MagiWasTaken#4357: .-.
kittycat959#2895: He means depending on how your gonna use it |
MagiWasTaken#4357: in your case! I see!
MagiWasTaken#4357: i guess
TheFifthAce#4128: is english your first language
MagiWasTaken#4357: nope
TheFifthAce#4128: what is your first, so I know which kind of words to avoid
MagiWasTaken#4357: Well, Albanian/German
TheFifthAce#4128: ah ok
kittycat959#2895: It amazes me how people can speak English as a second language, I cant even speak it that well
kittycat959#2895: And I'm English
MagiWasTaken#4357: It's technically my third (not counting in Latin since I can't speak it)
SuSSudio#2688: heck if you're only using for operating system, a 120GB is enough, and let the rest fill the other drives (SSD/HDD)
TheFifthAce#4128: gang gang https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/623557364309557268/unknown.png
MagiWasTaken#4357: so 120GB ssd or hdd?
SuSSudio#2688: Then again depends on your budget, the bigger the better
kittycat959#2895: I would say a 256gb or 512 GB SSD for programs and windows |
kittycat959#2895: Then a 2tb HDD for games
kittycat959#2895: And files
MagiWasTaken#4357: Well, right now I'm at 687€ and I'd like to stay under 1k if possible since I'm only a student still
TheFifthAce#4128: send the part list
kittycat959#2895: I would get a 256gb ssd then
TheFifthAce#4128: I can make list for u :Garfield_dab:
MagiWasTaken#4357: currently looking on ibuypower.com since it got recommended to me by a streamer called jimb0
MagiWasTaken#4357: Uhm, 256gb ssd then
TheFifthAce#4128: ew dont get a prebuilt
MagiWasTaken#4357: but i don't know how to build something and I might destroy more than I build :c
TheFifthAce#4128: its just large lego
TheFifthAce#4128: its easy
SuSSudio#2688: We encourage you to build a system all by yourself
TheFifthAce#4128: You'll spend, on average, 100-200$ more if you buy a prebuilt than if you built it yourself, with the same parts
SuSSudio#2688: If you come across some difficulties, you may ask here or search up on the web |
MagiWasTaken#4357: I'll first try to get the parts together and then I'll send it to ya and later I'll order it I guess and ask someone to help me with building
MagiWasTaken#4357: Uhm, what's an SLI?
TheFifthAce#4128: useless
SuSSudio#2688: An interconnect for multi GPU purpose
MagiWasTaken#4357: I see. Don't need that I guess?
MagiWasTaken#4357: It's at the motherboard-section rn
TheFifthAce#4128: it has little to no purpose in modern games
MythologicalZ#3752: It's a dead tech
MagiWasTaken#4357: MSI X470 GAMING PLUS -- Mystic RGB, 3x PCIe x16, 2x USB 3.1 Gen 2, 4x USB 3.1 Gen 1, 2x USB 2.0, 2x M.2 then?
SuSSudio#2688: Say, you have a SLI capable video card, you buy another one + the SLI bridge to make the card work simultaneously
MagiWasTaken#4357: cheaper and has more usb-slots :c
TheFifthAce#4128: ew
TheFifthAce#4128: x470 gaming plus is large homo
MythologicalZ#3752: Check B450 Pro Carbon prices
MythologicalZ#3752: Same VRM but better cooling |
TheFifthAce#4128: x470 is literally the exact same board as the b450 gaming plus, just with more usb
TheFifthAce#4128: :ULTRAKEK:
MagiWasTaken#4357: what's vrm?
MythologicalZ#3752: Indeed
SuSSudio#2688: Voltage regulatuin module
MythologicalZ#3752: And with no BIOS flashback support
MythologicalZ#3752: Which is dogshit
SuSSudio#2688: basically regulates the current required by the cpu
MythologicalZ#3752: If I didn't occasionally run SLI I wouldn't have bought the board
MagiWasTaken#4357: but if I needed some more usb-slots, would I just get a splitter then?
SuSSudio#2688: without this your cpu will be an instant firework
TheFifthAce#4128: just over 1000
https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/cjPV3t
TheFifthAce#4128: can make it cheaper by going with a weaker gpu
TheFifthAce#4128: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/xvz7YH |
900
MagiWasTaken#4357: Would that one be able to run MHW as recommended? Would like to play that game without fps-problems and without it being too ugly. Also I'd be interesting in getting into streaming :c
TheFifthAce#4128: monster hunter world would be fine on either of those
MagiWasTaken#4357: on ibuypower I ended up with about 679 bucks for it but you guys know more about that stuff I guess
TheFifthAce#4128: for what specs
TheFifthAce#4128: if you got the specs I posted for cheaper then I wanna see
TheFifthAce#4128: :HOTuwu:
MagiWasTaken#4357: haha
MagiWasTaken#4357: I still need to add the SSD and HDD, I guess
MagiWasTaken#4357: @TheFifthAce can I hop onto a call with you and screenshare?
TheFifthAce#4128: sure
MagiWasTaken#4357: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/ZD4scq
TheFifthAce#4128: psu is a seasonic btw
TheFifthAce#4128: in tha tlist |
MagiWasTaken#4357: So, I guess I'm settling for this one unless anyone has to add or change anything there
MagiWasTaken#4357: what's a seasonic?
TheFifthAce#4128: the manufacturer of that psu
TheFifthAce#4128: xfx just rebranded it
MagiWasTaken#4357: i see
MagiWasTaken#4357: and I'll be able to stream without problems with that one, right?
TheFifthAce#4128: oh you want to stream
MagiWasTaken#4357: yes :c
TheFifthAce#4128: do 2060s go on sale often there
TheFifthAce#4128: if you can get a 2060 for around 300 I'd go for that instead of the vega
TheFifthAce#4128: easy streaming meme
MagiWasTaken#4357: that's the video card right?
TheGeekster#8508: yee
MagiWasTaken#4357: Okay!
MagiWasTaken#4357: what's the full name of the 2060? |
TheGeekster#8508: RTX 2060 Super
TheGeekster#8508: nvidia card
MagiWasTaken#4357: this one? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/623567739155644417/unknown.png
TheGeekster#8508: yeeeaahhhhh that's just a terrible name for it
MagiWasTaken#4357: huh?
MagiWasTaken#4357: Oh, the name's terrible! But it is the right one, right?
TheFifthAce#4128: I mean if you want to spend the extra on the super, yeah
TheFifthAce#4128: the regular 2060 should be sufficient but 2060 super is obviously better
MagiWasTaken#4357: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/623569994093035541/unknown.png
MagiWasTaken#4357: So I should go for the one under the super, right?
MagiWasTaken#4357: pcpartpicker is down
MagiWasTaken#4357: ._.
MagiWasTaken#4357: anyways, thanks for your help, guys! I'll probably take the normal 2060 video card as it's 120€ less!
TheGeekster#8508: fair enough
kittycat959#2895: one thing @MagiWasTaken |
kittycat959#2895: dont expect to be raytracing on the 2060
kittycat959#2895: if you wanna enable raytracing i would highly recommend the 2060 super
kittycat959#2895: but the 2060 is a solid card for low end raytracing
MagiWasTaken#4357: what's raytracing?
TheGeekster#8508: *eh* don't sorry too much
TheGeekster#8508: look up youtube videos
MagiWasTaken#4357: kk
kittycat959#2895: @MagiWasTaken gives more accurate lighting, not really noticeable in gameplay atm
kittycat959#2895: your 2060 can do it tho if you wanted to have a fiddle with it
MagiWasTaken#4357: well, won't bother with that.
SuSSudio#2688: probably wccf bs, but here it is https://wccftech.com/amd-ryzen-threadripper-3000-32-zen-2-cores-benchmark-70-percent-faster-2990wx/
TheGeekster#8508: *I be smelling bullshit*
SuSSudio#2688: CML-S spotted firing cylinders https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/623892207799107624/Intel-Core-i9-10900X-Benchmarks-Leaked.jpg
TheGeekster#8508: They're saying that there is a 70% boot in performance per core?
"2990WX: Single 1100 Multi: 13,400" |
"Unknown 3000: Single 5519 Multi: 68,279"
TheGeekster#8508: It seems too good to be true, which generally means it's too good to be true
MythologicalZ#3752: It's just supposed to be Zen+ to Zen 2
MythologicalZ#3752: 70% is way too large a gap
MythologicalZ#3752: Since that's effectively just CFL
SuSSudio#2688: true though, wccf spiced up things as always
MythologicalZ#3752: As for the Intel leak
TheGeekster#8508: also smelling that intel bullshit too 😂
MythologicalZ#3752: Why the hell does an OEM system have an i9
Alcyone#2233: https://www.anandtech.com/show/14120/thermalright-silver-arrow-ibe-extreme-rev-b-two-140mm-fans-8-heat-pipes-320-w
big thermalright cooler got an update, 8 heatpipes and 2500 rpm 140mm fans.
TheGeekster#8508: It doesn't that's fake, the cpu isn't even vaguely near what that desktop can actually handle
MythologicalZ#3752: Holy shit
JustinXenyx#8854: My orgasm just had an orgasm @Alcyone |
SuSSudio#2688: for 320W TDP HOT DAMNNN
MythologicalZ#3752: Good to see Thermalright still around
MythologicalZ#3752: I have an original Silver Arrow and it's great
My Vice#8522: help
My Vice#8522: how do i go below those limits? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/623924325564547097/unknown.png
MythologicalZ#3752: Why do you want to?
My Vice#8522: gpu cooler died
My Vice#8522: so i need very low clocks
My Vice#8522: so it doesnt heats too much
My Vice#8522: and its a notebook, so i cant change the cooler so soon
MythologicalZ#3752: Your card should go below that automatically
MythologicalZ#3752: In an idle/low usage state at least
My Vice#8522: it doesnt, it goes too high when i watch videos and such
MythologicalZ#3752: Or since it's a laptop you could disable it
My Vice#8522: the 400 350 clock kills it |
My Vice#8522: well it doesnt have integrated graphics...
MythologicalZ#3752: Ouch
My Vice#8522: its offboard or nothing
MythologicalZ#3752: Well videos are a somewhat high load
MythologicalZ#3752: So like
MythologicalZ#3752: It'll have to clock higher
MythologicalZ#3752: Afaik there's no way to break the AB clock limits to go lower
My Vice#8522: fck
My Vice#8522: i just wanted to lock the 300 150
it goes just to 50C
TheFifthAce#4128: @My Vice 50c is safe tho
TheFifthAce#4128: :Thonking:
My Vice#8522: yeah but its a super low clock
My Vice#8522: that doesnt even tanks UE4 at lowest
My Vice#8522: its a 7970M |
My Vice#8522: atleast i just want to play minecraft, so it wont require anything too much
thatubuntuguy#5914: 7970M??
thatubuntuguy#5914: how far gimped is it from the desktop 7970
thatubuntuguy#5914: almost half
thatubuntuguy#5914: f
thatubuntuguy#5914: 1280 cores
thatubuntuguy#5914: 800 mhz
JustinXenyx#8854: 7970M is basically a 7870 @thatubuntuguy
JustinXenyx#8854: Just slightly power cucked iirc
thatubuntuguy#5914: ah very intriguing
thatubuntuguy#5914: battery life must be great :OmegaxD:
JustinXenyx#8854: Pretty sure the 7970M isn't mostly used when on battery
thatubuntuguy#5914: but his laptop is dgpu only? or does it have like some really low power mode
JustinXenyx#8854: Nah, i thought it had integrated graphics
JustinXenyx#8854: My bad |
thatubuntuguy#5914: the tdp is 100w :haha:
Tinybox#9112: So, I know this may sound stupid and all.
But what benefit does a PCIe X1 WIFI card have, over I don't know a USB 3.0 one?
If both have the same speed?
Maybe better chips on pcie?
Is it stability or something?
TheFifthAce#4128: @Tinybox polling rates and surface area
TheFifthAce#4128: usb ones have polling rates to deal with that can be annoying af and tiny surface area so they overheat under load (ex: downloading something)
TheGeekster#8508: Eh, PCIE is generally just, ya know, higher quality, but you can get just as good USB ones they just cost more
TheFifthAce#4128: yeah
TheFifthAce#4128: pcie is generally cheaper and will be better at a given pricepoint
TheFifthAce#4128: there are some nice usb ones but they're pricey af
Tinybox#9112: well my asus AC750 decided to have a weird problem, of me needing to adjust the antennas like you'd do on an old tv.
Tinybox#9112: So I'm considering picking up a TP-LINK AC1200
Tinybox#9112: Specifically: |
Tinybox#9112: TP-LINK ARCHER T4U AC1200/1300
Tinybox#9112: (The most annoying thing on this ac750, is that the perfect position as well, is sensitive asf, and since my PC is laying down on my desk, a small push, and it's out of the perfect position cutting the speed 5 times, and if you are unlucky, disabling 5G)
TheGeekster#8508: 5Ghz wifi has awful penetration, if the AP is straight line through your computer case, try changing the orientation
Tinybox#9112: @TheGeekster I kinda doubt that penetration is the problem., as all my laptops here when on 5G in the exact position does just fine.
So do all my other devices when placed in that position..
But when I try to use 2.4 on it, it gets even worse as well, when the antenna isn't in the perfect position welcome random disconnects, even when it's the only device connected.
TheGeekster#8508: ah, shite antennas or card then
Tinybox#9112: I guess so, but finding an exact antenna for this adapter,
For there to be a chance that was the problem..and not the card itself..
Tinybox#9112: Might as well go ahead and buy a new adapter y know
Tinybox#9112: https://www.tp-link.com/il/home-networking/adapter/archer-t4u/
@TheGeekster Know if this is any good?
TheGeekster#8508: eh tbh i wouldn't, i generally avoid anything USB
TheGeekster#8508: https://www.ebuyer.com/742221-d-link-wireless-ac1200-dwa-582-network-adapter-dwa-582?mkwid=s_dc&pcrid=51482427899&pkw=&pmt=&gclid=CjwKCAjwq4fsBRBnEiwANTahcOk9objVxYwremjlOO-pI6prsdsQHLX2eK3wq4mCjomhIMzXEkoXdRoC4fYQAvD_BwE
TheGeekster#8508: is the standard i use |
russ_the_b#5525: i need some pc broke or not help
i turn on the pc it doesnt post and after 3 minutes gpu and psu and the cpu fan all go super loud turbo mode
russ_the_b#5525: i tried clearing the cmos but there is only 2 jumper pins not 4 and i tried using the clear cmos button nothing changed i even removed the battery for 5 minutes like some guides said and nothing changed
russ_the_b#5525: also there is no beeps at all when i turn it on
DarknessFalls229#2286: meaning bad bios settings isnt the issue, the issue lies with the hardware itself, try running the bare minimum the pc can run on and add parts from there
russ_the_b#5525: i tried removing gpu nothing changed, removed ram still nothing i even tried and removed everything except the cpu and its still nothing
russ_the_b#5525: btw it did this once before and i used the cmos clear button and it booted normally
russ_the_b#5525: this time nothing works
DarknessFalls229#2286: try moving the ram stick to a different slot
DarknessFalls229#2286: computer cant boot without ram
russ_the_b#5525: i removed the ram to see if it will beep it didn't
russ_the_b#5525: there is 2 sticks in dual channel so move what to where
DarknessFalls229#2286: _try running a single stick_
DarknessFalls229#2286: _as i said, bare minimum_
russ_the_b#5525: also is it weird that when i plug in the power cable it automatically turns on? |
