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 TheFifthAce#4128: @Deleted User r5 240 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: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/620359197791485962/JPEG_20190908_174625.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: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/620371705961119764/Unigine_Heaven_Benchmark_4.0_20181217_1549.html 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 HotShot#8006: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/621042566296502272/IMG_20190910_173620202_HDR.jpg HotShot#8006: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/621042595971203082/IMG_20190910_180637568_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.

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%

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 Rysing Dragoon#5628: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/622808856073863214/20190915_105951.jpg

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?

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.

"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?
