mxckzy#0744: would an fx 4170 bottleneck an amd r9 280x Lady Mipha#0611: @Deleted User does it have anything on the other side Lady Mipha#0611: @mxckzy probably TheGeekster#8508: @mxckzy Yes massively, please don't consider upgrading anything on that platform, and look to move off it onto something more modern mxckzy#0744: i just cant afford any better mxckzy#0744: my current is a phenom 2 x4 965 TheGeekster#8508: with an R9 280x? TheGeekster#8508: Honestly you'd might as well save your money right now, and not upgrade, the fx 4170 is only about 5-10% maximum any better than the phenom 2, there's not much point to spending the money tbh Lady Mipha#0611: ^ mxckzy#0744: Im gonna get an fx6300 for my birthday just cus its cheap TheGeekster#8508: is it compatible with your motherboard? Lady Mipha#0611: ^ Deleted User#0000: @Lady Mipha nah mxckzy#0744: Yes Lady Mipha#0611: @Deleted User have you tried looking where it comes out from
TheGeekster#8508: Out of interest, tried looking for an entire replacement mobo & cpu combo? honestly you can get them so very dirt cheap especially 2nd or 4th gen i5's, it might be worth having a check if you can get them for the same price Deleted User#0000: @Lady Mipha it comes out of a sd card reader thingy Lady Mipha#0611: Then it would probably go into the media slot mxckzy#0744: Im paying 20 for the cpu as an upgrade Deleted User#0000: which is where on the mobo? Lady Mipha#0611: A photo please @Deleted User Lady Mipha#0611: Of the motherboard MythologicalZ#3752: 20 for a 6300 is a scam MythologicalZ#3752: It's a shit CPU, way better off selling your Am3+ crap and moving to 1155 Deleted User#0000: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/630386615411408896/JPEG_20191006_134718.jpg Lady Mipha#0611: 🤔 TheGeekster#8508: show us the device the cable comes out of, pic of the front?

Haris Džinović#5160: Guys I realised i had 2400mhz on my ram which is factory 3000, switched to profile 1 so it gets the 3000 mhz stock, but now out of all 8 only 4 gb is usable 🤔 Galilool#3398: switch to profile2, profile 1 is shit Deleted User#0000: Should I upgrade my CPU (Pentium G3240) in order for it to be paired with a GT 9500? Galilool#3398: you should upgrade your GPU mate Deleted User#0000: Nah, it's perfectly fine. It runs 10FPS on 540p on Far Cry 5 Deleted User#0000: I thought the CPU was the bottleneck Galilool#3398: are you trolling or do you lack intellect? Deleted User#0000: Maybe. No. TheGeekster#8508: *And no tech zone for you* Galilool#3398: what does NTZ mean? TheGeekster#8508: No Tech Zone, you can't send messages in tech zone TheGeekster#8508: rare it has to be used Galilool#3398: issued to trolls?

DarknessFalls229#2286: Though, why is praetorian able to use ractions? TheGeekster#8508: Tech help is the channel for actual help Galilool#3398: @DarknessFalls229 that is the bigger question here DarknessFalls229#2286: but is it not Tech Help _AND_ talk? DarknessFalls229#2286: or just not feeding the troll? Galilool#3398: still. action -> reaction trolling -> ban Budget#8265: I think anyone looking to buy AM3 Over 1155 here just should take my advice and not even look at AM3 for most use cases Galilool#3398: Phenom II were sick TheFifthAce#4128: am3 is large homo TheFifthAce#4128: 1155 is way better
Alcyone#2233: if you have everything already, an am3 cpu upgrade isnt the worst idea, if you are buying a motherboard for it though, don't Alcyone#2233: my 955be at max oc could just edge out a stock i5 2400. but they lack sse instructions? so you can't play some games on old am3 stuff even if it has the power to do so Tinybox#9112: I guess ill just quickly ask. Tinybox#9112: So my uncle gave me a 25 euro AMAZON CARD. so, should I try to buy new antennas for my ASUS AC750?! (It doesn't even put the 5G line avaliable often, so far for some weird reason it's in a 3 day intervall?! on the 2.4ghz line, response is horrible. ^^This is only for this adapter it seems, my Laptop works fine on 5G WIFI. Or do I buy one of these. https://www.amazon.de/dp/B01MY83JGN https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07LGMD97Z https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07P681N66 https://www.amazon.de/dp/B00K11UIV4 I know they are all USB, the TP LIN T3U though is USB 3.0 My WIFI speed is 100 down 130 up. Distance from my router; 4-6 Meters piercing through one Wall. (A reinforced stone wall) BigPierogi#3368: I don't know much
BigPierogi#3368: But my wife adapter is pretty good BigPierogi#3368: Ether net I get like 80mbps with my setup BigPierogi#3368: WiFi is like 50 BigPierogi#3368: I can link it if you want JustinXenyx#8854: NEVER get a USB Wifi cards if you want to get good speeds from them BigPierogi#3368: I got one BigPierogi#3368: It's not bad for 15 dollars JustinXenyx#8854: Yeah but the high speed ones shit themselves because they get too hot BigPierogi#3368: I got some 300mbps one BigPierogi#3368: I'll link it BigPierogi#3368: https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-TL-WN822N-Wireless-Networking-Adapter/dp/B009NH29QY/ref=mp_s_a_1_11?keywords=tplink+usb+wifi+adapter&qid=1570475225&sr=8-11 Tinybox#9112: @JustinXenyx I kinda just wanna at least get 60 MBPS on my 5G line. (Because the 2.4ghz line gets really croweded for our home) Tinybox#9112: the high speed ones are shit? Tinybox#9112: Constant speed is what I want. Tinybox#9112: I could try them all out, give them all a shot and a good test then return it to amazon, for "not satisfied".
JustinXenyx#8854: Yeah, they suffer from the typical heat issues in their form factor @Tinybox Tinybox#9112: @JustinXenyx My absolute inital though was to use the "extension cable" to route it into my case in front of my case fan.. Tinybox#9112: Or to use my internal USB >"external" USB adapter. Flannel84#2980: Anyone have any experience replacing popped capacitors/identifying capacitors? Abe.#3344: If you search up the item with the popped capacitor, you can probably find the make of the capacitor. Tinybox#9112: @JustinXenyx The smaller the adapter, the probably shittier it is, correct? Tinybox#9112: Plus you said those high speed ones always get super hot when at high speeds? Y think a Higher speed rated adapter will still get hotter than a lower speed one, when running at the same speed. (T2U AC600 vs T3U AC1300) Tinybox#9112: Anyway, I got a feeling my best bet is the T2U Plus. The external ANTENNA, and bigger size might help with heat. Tinybox#9112: If that doesn't work for me ill go buy a T3U AC1300, if all that is a no go ill say screw it and skip buying a new mouse, and instead get a pcie adapter miklos_akos#1999: Why does GTA 4 run like crap? https://youtu.be/K9_T8Z-FL8M
miklos_akos#1999: I have a legitimate copy btw SuSSudio#2688: @miklos_akos ported from console version. The game was originally launched for consoles. Consoles at the time used the very proprietary RISC architectures. SuSSudio#2688: This causes hardware emulation, which negatively impacts processing performance miklos_akos#1999: ah miklos_akos#1999: I remember pirating the game and without GFWL I had better performance with worse hardware TheGeekster#8508: Honestly, never really had much of an issue with GTA4 TheGeekster#8508: even running it on a GTS250 with a Phenom x4 back in ye olden days, it was fine dassa#5542: Does anyone that is online know a decent amout about laptops and specs TheGeekster#8508: Aye @dassa most people in this server do, what's up? dassa#5542: i found this laptop for really cheap but i see it sell for 3 times the price dassa#5542: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B06Y4GZS9C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 dassa#5542: does it seem dogy to u dassa#5542: its new and half the price of a used item TheGeekster#8508: Massively, if it sounds too good to be true... it's too good to be true JustinXenyx#8854: Way to sketch IMO for 430 quid
JustinXenyx#8854: Seller doesn't have many bad ratings though, so it may be a fuckup with the listings? Probably swapped the price with something else TheGeekster#8508: The sellers are completely unrelated to the item TheGeekster#8508: It seems so shifty 😩 TheGeekster#8508: also the fact there's TWO sellers for the EXACT same price TheGeekster#8508: 🤔 screams something's wrong dassa#5542: what are amazons policys TheGeekster#8508: "If you buy from a third-party seller whose items are not fulfilled by Amazon, you are protected by the company’s A-to-Z Guarantee Protection."

MythologicalZ#3752: Megathonk Tinybox#9112: So, my friend, bought a Gigabyte P67UB3 Quite a while ago..it didn't boot. Anyway, a while ago my friend decided "let's try this board again" then he realized the Board ONLYY boots when there is a CMOS jumper installed and removed after boot. What could be the cause of this? Tinybox#9112: The BIOS version is F2, which isn't uefi yet. But I told him to give it a shot and update to F9 (still LEGACY, The newest version is a uefi one but it's beta) Flannel84#2980: Would those larger capacitors be 1000uf since they arent marked? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/631182757485084672/20191007_145348.jpg Alcyone#2233: yes Flannel84#2980: Perfect, thank you. Alcyone#2233: you can use higher voltage caps as well, but never lower Alcyone#2233: so 1000uf 24v etc is good, 12v no Tinybox#9112: @Alcyone What could cause a board to not boot normally but instead want a cmos jumper to be installed every time. Flannel84#2980: Thanks again @Alcyone
Alcyone#2233: @Tinybox have you tried swapping the battery? Tinybox#9112: @Alcyone yea Alcyone#2233: that is strange. is it in the same config it was used in before? could be a bios issue Tinybox#9112: Bios was updated using Q-FLASH, same thing occurred over multiple versions.. I guess Ill ask him to just try to set it to factory settings on BIOS "F9" Alcyone#2233: also make sure something is plugged into cpu fan header. what mobo is it? Tinybox#9112: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-P67A-UD3-B3-rev-1x/support#support-dl Tinybox#9112: This is the board, luckily it has a dual bios Tinybox#9112: Yes, there is a fan at CPU FAN Alcyone#2233: make sure the boot drive is on one of the intel chipset sata port and the drives are config properly in bios. it can get fucky if its on the raid chip Alcyone#2233: also will need csm support enabled if its uefi bios and a legacy gpu Tinybox#9112: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/631195804668788746/image0-3.jpg Tinybox#9112: Load optimized defaults I guess? Alcyone#2233: yeah, try that first. let it loop until it posts if its turning off and on by itself before starting. sometimes the board takes a few tries before it boots Tinybox#9112: @Alcyone
No, um there literally is no reaction to the power button.. Tinybox#9112: If there is no jumper Tinybox#9112: Feels bad. Alcyone#2233: if its 3 pin jumper, it may need to sit in the rest position to work Tinybox#9112: It's just a 2 pin jumper =no jumper "normal" =Jumper "reset" Tinybox#9112: Btw currently there is no booot drive Alcyone#2233: and there is no post, but after clr cmos it will post? Tinybox#9112: Yep Tinybox#9112: Just when there is a jumper Tinybox#9112: It posts with this; Tinybox#9112: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/631197201275682816/image0-1.png Tinybox#9112: CMOS CHECKSUM ERROR Tinybox#9112: Defaults loaded
Alcyone#2233: that is normal message after cmos is cleared Alcyone#2233: but selecting defaults and then rebooting nothing happens Tinybox#9112: He's trying rn. Tinybox#9112: Set it to optimized. Alcyone#2233: could be mem issue. make sure ram is right and in slots 2+4 for 2 dimm. Tinybox#9112: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/631197967268970516/video0.mov Tinybox#9112: @Alcyone What's happening with no jumper: BigPierogi#3368: did you already try turning on with screwdriver TheGeekster#8508: if you short the two pins with a screw driver? any life? 🤔 TheGeekster#8508: fuck beat me to it TheGeekster#8508: *always watching nub* Tinybox#9112: Yup, screw driver was the first tool used after all Alcyone#2233: well it turns on with the button after cmos is reset so the swithch is probs working, id try just the pins anyways though Alcyone#2233: giga can switch bios autoimatically after post failure, but it would attempt to power on Alcyone#2233: I would assume dead battery or a short, but you said battery has been changed and it looks to be sitting on a box or something
Tinybox#9112: Alright he said he's just gonna try screw driver again Tinybox#9112: I FORGOT TO Mention something VERY specific. Tinybox#9112: !! He just tried it without a jumper Tinybox#9112: A USB stick he installed glowed for about 2s Tinybox#9112: If that's helpful, anyway the very specific thing was, the very first time he booted the board, and got to the "please insert os" screen it worked without a jumper. However he switched it off. At the PSU, because y know he wanted to check the bios if everything was fine Tinybox#9112: Anyway, with screw driver. Tinybox#9112: Nothing Alcyone#2233: we are certain he is bridging the pw switch and not the pwr led pins correct? Tinybox#9112: The POWER switch is clearly color coded red Tinybox#9112: Hold on a sec. Alcyone#2233: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/631201256433647646/unknown.png Alcyone#2233: so 3rd and 4th pin from top left is what its plugged into. thats out Tinybox#9112: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/631201612282593309/Screenshot_20191008-204935.png

So is the case dying Memory like suspected, Itd explain the stock OS, and why the phone was old broken Budget#8265: Those who are technically minded might enjoy the process to get this phone working: **Fixing the 95p Phone** 1. Cleaning the shit out of it 2. Manage to get it to boot to the standard OS, which will crash during most tasks, and lock up.
3. Flash Clockwork Recovery Mod 5.X , and get it to boot to it 4. Format and Flash new OS, with Gapps Pico Package 5. Phone attempts to boot, but soon kills OS, and Recovery by 5th attempt 6. Phone will only boot to RAM Dump (Really common issue apparently, even if left stock) 7. Manage to get phone into download mode after a while 8. Finally flash an old old stock firmware, and recovery 7. Boot to Recovery and Wipe all Caches 8. Install aincient CWM and then wipe OS from there 9. Flash a newer CWM as it will preboot to recovery now 10. Flash a diffrent and very lightweight modified OS, with a custom Gapps Package 11. Wipe Cache again 12. Add additional Perms for the OS 13. Boot to Android 4.4.4 14. Phone Performs remarkable well so far This took a long time and is a common issue I have managed to fix, cause of how much time I Have spent with these terrible phones
TheGeekster#8508: *buy new phone* JustinXenyx#8854: generally older budget phones from samsung around 2011-2013 i think suffered from shitty flash JustinXenyx#8854: 1 of 2 Galaxy Express phones here in my house hold "died" from shitty flash Budget#8265: Died as in bootloops nad no recovery?

JustinXenyx#8854: Got worse as it got older tho Budget#8265: Hmmm fair enough Budget#8265: I will say that with a fresh and lightweight OS installed it is running okay, even on the internet Budget#8265: I am quite suprised, but I have assigned new partitions, and forced them to stay in place Budget#8265: Pretty sure recovery has killed itself already though, but im rooted, so may install recovery to a partition on the SD Card *Cause thats a thing* TheGeekster#8508: crossy road or bust then? TheGeekster#8508: give us gaming benchmarks TheGeekster#8508: (please don't, pleaseeee no gaming benchmarks) Budget#8265: Oh there will be gaming benchmarks Budget#8265: Probably only emulation and stuff TheGeekster#8508: how many segments can you get in snake on a 95p phone? Budget#8265: Cause otherwise no point, the video is mostly about living with it Budget#8265: Taking photos of my snake on the 95p Phone Galilool#3398: ill dislike if it can't run PUBG mobile on highest settings with 60 fps

JustinXenyx#8854: W3800? JustinXenyx#8854: The V3800 is TeraScale 2 based, so it should support DX11 Flannel84#2980: yes sorry, V3800 Flannel84#2980: And thank you @JustinXenyx this means I now can proceed (maybe) with my best worst idea ever

Also lookup the motherboard and check for the BIOS versions. If you aren't running the latest, update to the latest then try again. Flannel84#2980: Though you could just try to clear the CMOS first. Deleted User#0000: K Alcyone#2233: I would try cmos reset and see if it boots Deleted User#0000: It boots with a different gpu Deleted User#0000: so ima put the gt 730 to one side and test it on another board Deleted User#0000: Ik it's already a really picky board so it might just not like it Deleted User#0000: Is it safe to format an ssd?

Deleted User#0000: ye I only really use windows installer to format anyways Rysing Dragoon#5628: I haven't brought this up for a while, but given that I'm really stubborn, I wish to OC both my CPU and my RAM Rysing Dragoon#5628: Last time I tried it, someone told me to look for any BIOS updates via flash drive Rysing Dragoon#5628: Anyone know how to do that? Alcyone#2233: go to the mfg site for the motherboard. DL the latest non beta bios. put it on the root of a usb drive, enter bios and use the flash utility. Dont power off or touch it until it boots on its own once the flash process has started Rysing Dragoon#5628: This works for most B450 UEFIs, right? Rysing Dragoon#5628: Cause I have the Pro4 UEFI Alcyone#2233: check the manual, it should have a section on biuos updates, but its worked the same since I started building gaming pcs in 2011 Rysing Dragoon#5628: Ah, gotcha Exomilav#5434: is the Gigabyte GA-K8N PRO-SLI any good and is it from 2005 Exomilav#5434: have a feeling it wont oc for shit because no VRM heatsink Exomilav#5434: :Oof:

Sorry for being here sooooooooo mannyy times. Well, I kinda wanna give one of these USB wifi adapter a try again <I feel like replacing the antennas on my AC750 wouldn't help me, because it wouldn't explain why 5G wifi only exists every 3 days or so, or just varies a lot, and is randomly avaliable ON THIS specific ADAPTER, got a feeling something is wrong with a chip on the card.... Anyway, Trying to decide between these two boys; https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07P681N66 https://www.amazon.de/dp/B01MY83NET https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07M69276N So I'm trying to decide between those 3. I feel like the T3U could be the worst choice -ever- simply because of it's 4CM size, making it the smallest not only that it's the fastest, plus they are reviews that note it gets noticeably hot, and sometimes cuts out connection +does the same thing my overheating shit adapter does, =When it overheats, gotta plug it out. But at the same time does reports are coming from people with wifi faster than my 100 down and 130 upload. (People with around 170-200 seem to mostly mention this)
For the T2U, it seems to be the same, guy with omega internet connection, in a review reports strong speed drops (170>54) on 2.4ghz however. The Intertech is smaller than the T2U, but uses the same chip...sooo you know, it's also the cheapest. In terms of drivers, all seem to be pretty recent for all of them.. **Which one would you choose?** And yea I kinda can't really wait anymore 😅 can't play online games without interruption...however, I could skip on buying a cooler for my 2500k (currently clocked at @4.2 because of my TX3)/future R5 chip...then I could afford an Archer T4e TheFifthAce#4128: usb wifi is SHIT TheFifthAce#4128: :Mad: TheFifthAce#4128: polling rates are gay and cause issue with high refresh gaming TheFifthAce#4128: pcie is objectively better in every way Tinybox#9112: Well then you think I should skip on buying a cooler? TheFifthAce#4128: also all of those have tiny af surface area and would throttle TheFifthAce#4128: I wouldn't pick any of them TheFifthAce#4128: get a pcie dual band Tinybox#9112: alright Tinybox#9112: Well Abstract, do you think buying one of those
https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07FDZDKMK https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07FDTY98D And then getting one of those, M.2 wifi >PCIe Antenna adapter thing. Would be a good option? Tinybox#9112: I decided to do some research, I'm guessing I can't use the 9560 in all systems because of this "cnvi" thing. Tinybox#9112: alright I think I made a choice. https://www.amazon.de/RETYLY-Schlüssel-Drahtlos-Unterstützung-Netzwerk-Schwarz/dp/B07W8FPD1T and this https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07FDTY98D Tinybox#9112: Will cost me 22 euros in total. Tinybox#9112: Which will leave 8 euros for a cooler or anything else Tinybox#9112: ah will be buying both ***Not directly from amazon*** Just "on" amazon. Tinybox#9112: So I hope all works fine, returns might get yiffy. Tinybox#9112: +I found the cooler ill go with.
Seems to have standard AMD mounting, but using INTEL adapter, to work on intel mobos, so I might be able to use it on AM4 when the time comes. Tinybox#9112: https://www.amazon.de/Acouto-Kühler-Lüfter-Kühlkörper-Intel-default/dp/B07T19CTZL Tinybox#9112: It seems to weigh more and has one more heat pipe, sooo mayybee it will be fine? Tinybox#9112: total is 35 euros, meh I can live with that haul :GWmythsBlobPresent: Tinybox#9112: Although perhaps it isn't worth it to go out any buy a cooler, after all, it's probably better to get something that is more widely compatible. TheFifthAce#4128: just get a regular pcie one TheFifthAce#4128: why get an adapter Tinybox#9112: @TheFifthAce cheaper, and I know that these INTEL ones are really good, plus they deliver epic speeds. Tinybox#9112: It's a work around. Tinybox#9112: But should be alright. TheFifthAce#4128: hoes mad Tinybox#9112: plus blutooth Tinybox#9112: :GWlulurdMegaLul: Rysing Dragoon#5628: is it sad that the only kind of access to wifi for me is USB? Rysing Dragoon#5628: Cause that came with the system
TheFifthAce#4128: gay Lady Mipha#0611: gay TheFifthAce#4128: stock the 4570 is ~15% faster single core TheFifthAce#4128: ...haswell has 15% better IPC than sandy bridge, and it clocks about the same speed TheFifthAce#4128: unless you have an overclocking motherboard and a decent cooler, the 4570 is a better option Lady Mipha#0611: ^ TheFifthAce#4128: + it has a better upgrade path TheFifthAce#4128: technically TheFifthAce#4128: about 25% difference there according to that chart https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/632414684103835648/unknown.png TheFifthAce#4128: userbenchmark takes overclocking into account lol TheFifthAce#4128: like it averages everything together TheFifthAce#4128: stock, the 4570 should win TheFifthAce#4128: 2500k clocks 100mhz higher but the 4570 has a two generation advantage Tinybox#9112: Trying to decide between these two M.2 Wifi modules, so Ill be using an M.2 >PCI-e adapter for these https://www.amazon.de/Mavis-Laven-WLAN-Netzwerkkarte-Bluetooth-Netzwerkserver-Adapterkarte-default/dp/B07V3DC2YD
https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07FDTY98D The AX200NGW is omega OP right and would last me longer? But is it worth the extra shipping time, basically is wifi 6 worth waiting longer for? Tinybox#9112: Ill be paying 2 euros more for shipping on the 9xxx one, and it would be shipped directly from amazon, so it's more than likely going to arrive before the M.2 Adapter. JustinXenyx#8854: Why would you use a M.2 wifi module? That makes no sense Tinybox#9112: @JustinXenyx It's cheaper, and "faster". JustinXenyx#8854: Ok, how is it going to be faster? Tinybox#9112: Well at least "rated" speeds. Tinybox#9112: VS something I can get on the market. Tinybox#9112: For example I'd need to pay 30 euros for a TP-LINK T4e Tinybox#9112: AC1200, Tinybox#9112: Which isn't only out of the tight budget, but is "slower". Tinybox#9112: This guy here, Tinybox#9112: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/download/archer-t4e/ JustinXenyx#8854: You can get a Archer T6E for 30€ aswell
Tinybox#9112: Archer TE? Tinybox#9112: Yea but the T6e has older drivers 🤔 And seems to have worse reviews. Tinybox#9112: I feel like the M.2 wifi adapter will just last me longer, and work better, and it's cheaper.. Plus it's a module from Intel, at least in my experience intel seems to be quite good on drivers. JustinXenyx#8854: Also, i still don't get how the M.2 wifi adapter is going to be faster Tinybox#9112: I mean just the rated speeds. JustinXenyx#8854: Which rated speeds? Tinybox#9112: What you get when you search up the specs I mean. Tinybox#9112: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/632560819850313749/unknown.png Tinybox#9112: Archer "T6e" ^ Tinybox#9112: Intel 9260 https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/632560933033476126/unknown.png Tinybox#9112: INTEL AX200 https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/632561085555146782/unknown.png Tinybox#9112: Of course I know ill never reach those speeds even if I really wanted to. But I think I can count that as an advantage?
Tinybox#9112: Perhaps the blutooth, but I don't really need that either, so the real thing for me is just getitng it for cheaper, with the few bonuses. Tinybox#9112: But, you seem really bothered about this lil decision. Is there any disadvantage to going down that route? @JustinXenyx JustinXenyx#8854: If i were to sum up the prices of the wifi card, m.2 adapter and m.2 wifi card we'd land at around the same price as a regular PCIe card (if not more expensive) with some inconveniences added Tinybox#9112: I already summed it up, and found an adapter that I find good. It ended up being being a good 25 euros, after shipping JustinXenyx#8854: Hold up, WHAT? Tinybox#9112: yea JustinXenyx#8854: 25 euros for the adapter or for the total? Tinybox#9112: total Tinybox#9112: it took a while to find the stuff Tinybox#9112: but it went well JustinXenyx#8854: Can you link me the adapter? JustinXenyx#8854: Because my guess is that it's just a regular PCIe X1 to M.2 adapter, which results in those wifi cards getting bottlenecked because they're usually X2 cards Tinybox#9112: You are correct
Tinybox#9112: It's an X1 card Tinybox#9112: With a USB connector for the blutooth JustinXenyx#8854: So, we're at the same speeds as a regular X1 card with some inconveniences added, nice Tinybox#9112: What type of inconveniences? Tinybox#9112: Besides the extra install time? JustinXenyx#8854: How are you going to install the antennas? Tinybox#9112: How you'd usually install antennas Tinybox#9112: Like your standard WIFI CARD Tinybox#9112: you spin them onto the connector Tinybox#9112: "screw them on". Tinybox#9112: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/632563675097464842/unknown.png JustinXenyx#8854: oh wtf Tinybox#9112: It's nothing special JustinXenyx#8854: I thought of a different adapter then Tinybox#9112: oh
Tinybox#9112: I think I know what you were thinking of Tinybox#9112: But this is the adapter I choose Tinybox#9112: For maximum convenience Tinybox#9112: it took ages to find Tinybox#9112: took ages to find reviews as well Tinybox#9112: @JustinXenyx Anyway Tinybox#9112: Should I choose the AX200? Tinybox#9112: or 9260 JustinXenyx#8854: I'd choose the one that's cheaper, if they're the same price flip a coin lol Tinybox#9112: the ax200 is more expensive by 1 euro and 50 cents if I want it to ship in less than 2 weeks. Tinybox#9112: But it suports wifi 6 Tinybox#9112: THe 9260 however just arrives earlier, and is directly from amazon JustinXenyx#8854: I'd probably dig the AX200 then, because wifi 6 is a major convenience thing and if you have it now you won't need to upgrade later on Tinybox#9112: pay extra for faster shipping? Tinybox#9112: (Standard:
October 23rd-november 12th, for it to be same price/cost slightly less) Tinybox#9112: Faster shipping: October 18th-22nd. BigPierogi#3368: is your pc back facing away from the router BigPierogi#3368: or toward Tinybox#9112: Toward BigPierogi#3368: becuase you gotta remeber that too BigPierogi#3368: ok BigPierogi#3368: then thats good BigPierogi#3368: beucase if it was facing away BigPierogi#3368: then speeds wouldnt be that good BigPierogi#3368: as good* JustinXenyx#8854: I'd pay the 1.50€ for faster shipping becasue in the end it's not gonna be that much of a difference Tinybox#9112: alright thanks Tinybox#9112: I hope these Antennas are gonna be good, if not, they are the same standard as my AC750. Tinybox#9112: Ill just switch it out.

Jam#0384: It was runnin the e8400 in the board when i got it Jam#0384: and it's g41 so it should support from the start Jam#0384: But it's fine I'll just use my e6600 until I buy a C2X or C2Q
DarknessFalls229#2286: Just buy a q6600 and oc it to 3ghz DarknessFalls229#2286: Its like 10$ Tinybox#9112: R.I.P Tinybox#9112: @JustinXenyx I was to slow and the seller that had fast shipping sold out ): Tinybox#9112: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/632631870269685790/unknown.png Tinybox#9112: r.i.p me Tinybox#9112: well there seems to be a bit of money left Tinybox#9112: I guess ill spend that money on a mini heatsink + fan Jam#0384: yeah but a C2X 6800 is like $20 Jam#0384: Would be nice to have and it's not much more money Jam#0384: @DarknessFalls229 DarknessFalls229#2286: really?

Jam#0384: But overclocking is out of the question Tinybox#9112: There you go placed my order Tinybox#9112: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/632650687867781120/unknown.png Tinybox#9112: 6 heatsinks, and a wifi adapter "set", all for an epic 24,80 euros, I spent 2,60 for the heatsinks incase anybody is interested. Tinybox#9112: Ill use one of those heatsinks to restore the shitty wifi adapter back to its glory, the others ones will come in handy for GPUs and other stuff, and of course one for the wifi card Tinybox#9112: also I realized that the adapter I'm buying seems to have two 6 DBi Antennas Tinybox#9112: Quite happy, I spent 10 euros less, vs the next wifi solution with same speed Exomilav#5434: any memes here? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/632664293615206410/opera_yJqhEdFwjV.png Jam#0384: those 939 boards are nice Alcyone#2233: they all look like nforce boards. get one with the best chipset cooler Jam#0384: Not 100% on the gigabytes though Jam#0384: The ASUS ones look good Jam#0384: Specifically the one which uses copper heatsinks Alcyone#2233: Id get abit because defunct company retro is always cool. or the asus deluxe since it has bare copper cooling. Jam#0384: ^
Jam#0384: I agree Jam#0384: ABit is also pretty reliable in general Exomilav#5434: the gigabyte one has no VRM cooling Exomilav#5434: :Hahahahaha: Jam#0384: but I think the ASUS board is probably the best bet here Jam#0384: the Deluxe Alcyone#2233: yeah abit held some of the first major oc competitions. most their high end stuff is top notch Jam#0384: gigabyte has never really made a ton of great boards until recently Jam#0384: They have a few good ones now Exomilav#5434: X570 Jam#0384: and Z390 Alcyone#2233: they did make the fastest super 7mobo, most of the records on hwbot are using it Jam#0384: yeah I just mean in general Exomilav#5434: also the ABit one doesnt have the SLI bridge key Jam#0384: They do have some good ones
Exomilav#5434: :Xdxdxd: Jam#0384: My only S939 uses Agp Jam#0384: Which I like Exomilav#5434: might go for the premium Jam#0384: But I want a PCIe one too at some point, just not a super high priority Tinybox#9112: gigabyte pretty much dominate X570 Jam#0384: Don't get the premium Tinybox#9112: here Jam#0384: get the Deluxe Jam#0384: or the ABIT Tinybox#9112: Here, MSI and Asrock dominate AM4 (X470 and under) Tinybox#9112: X570 pretty much owned by gigabyte. Alcyone#2233: some msi b450 are really good, no asrock b450 is very good Tinybox#9112: yea Jam#0384: ASRock has some nice X370 boards
Tinybox#9112: MSI dominates this market with their tomahawk and pro carbon. Alcyone#2233: if steel legend had a better vrm it would have been really nice Tinybox#9112: In terms of B series Tinybox#9112: yea Tinybox#9112: Steel legend dissapointed me big time Jam#0384: MSI has shit tier X570 apparently Alcyone#2233: its the only one with LLC and SOC voltage in bios Tinybox#9112: yea Tinybox#9112: 🙏 Jam#0384: I like ASRock stuff but I also like value so Jam#0384: :Hahahahaha: Tinybox#9112: Asrock got all the value with PRO4 Alcyone#2233: I like asrock 1155 boards, they are one of the few that got proper w10 drivers Tinybox#9112: B450 gaming k4 for just very litle more. Jam#0384: True but with modern hardware I'm not really targeting midrange right now
Alcyone#2233: asrock b450 is good if you dont want to get the max out of your cpu and mems Alcyone#2233: doubled 3 phase is strong enough not to overheat with an 8 core, and you can oc a bit but droop will limit the voltage Jam#0384: Right now im using 775 stuff as meme, but Crysis and Just Cause and everything from the era pretty much runs flawlessly Jam#0384: or close to it Tinybox#9112: @Alcyone yea, but they are also very shit LGA 1155 Boards from asrock. my friend got himself a Z68 PRO3 GEN3. I got the Z68 PRO3. His gen3, literally has a cut down BIOS in overclocking options..., like LLC is missing, fixed voltage is missing, and A LOT MORE. (only offset and auto) Jam#0384: I can max out everything from the time except Crysis which runs at high JustinXenyx#8854: It's not doubled @Alcyone Alcyone#2233: it is Jam#0384: I'm testing BF2 and Fable TLC now Tinybox#9112: felt dissapointed to realize that they gutted the bios on the newer version JustinXenyx#8854: hell no it ain't JustinXenyx#8854: It's just a overblown 3 phase
JustinXenyx#8854: @TheFifthAce can confirm TheFifthAce#4128: hi TheFifthAce#4128: what is it JustinXenyx#8854: B450M Pro4 or generally asrocks b450 boards Tinybox#9112: the asrock pro3 is an overblown 3 phase, I think justin is right. TheFifthAce#4128: its not doubled TheFifthAce#4128: its just fat Tinybox#9112: "10 phase" design :Thonking: Alcyone#2233: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/632666889608495128/unknown.png TheFifthAce#4128: they arent proper doubled components Alcyone#2233: its 6 power stages driven by a 3 phase controller with doublers Tinybox#9112: But are those doublers doubling? TheFifthAce#4128: the doubled doubles doubling doublers? Alcyone#2233: they double the pwm signals from the voltage controller to the mosfets Alcyone#2233: 3 signals go in, 6 signals come out
JustinXenyx#8854: If they were doubled, i'd be sure that we'd have documentation of which doublers are being used TheFifthAce#4128: still homo to not have LLC or SOC TheFifthAce#4128: :kok: Alcyone#2233: bz might have a mobo breakdown of it, it is surely a doubled 3 phase vrm TheFifthAce#4128: its a homo phase vrm JustinXenyx#8854: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzRG_LjUl8Q JustinXenyx#8854: It isn't doubled Tinybox#9112: oh by the way justin, I guess I ordered all my stuff, The wifi adapter set cost me a total of 22,10 euros however I spent 2,60 in those heatsinks (six, prob coulda gotten a set) you see up there, but that's just for other stuff, might use one, on the adapter if it needs it Tinybox#9112: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/632667634588188682/unknown.png Tinybox#9112: Got an Intel AX200 (the one with vPRO) Alcyone#2233: oh so its just parallel, worse than I thought, straight 3 phase myb JustinXenyx#8854: Not too bad then @Tinybox Tinybox#9112: I feel like refunding dem heatsinks, but hey, it's not worth it to look for a bigger pack, plus they are gonna arrive way faster. :GWcmeisterPeepoShrug: Tinybox#9112: although those rated ~2.5GB/s
I wonder when the day will come, when ill reach that speed :GWlulurdMegaLul: Tinybox#9112: Plus I found out that the adapter uses 6DBi Antennas Tinybox#9112: @Alcyone the thing that makes the pro4 so good is actually the cooling though Alcyone#2233: i wouldnt say so good and pro4 in the same sentence, but okay Tinybox#9112: alright it's the value Alcyone#2233: it is good value for an average user Tinybox#9112: I'd say if you are rocking a six core, it's a great value board Alcyone#2233: if you care about oc, the mid range msi b450s have much better options though Alcyone#2233: those can set manual/override vcore, have soc voltage control, LLC settings and bios flashback + better mem support Alcyone#2233: the lower end giga, gaming 3 and below have vcore and soc, but offset only because of the voltage controller used. forget if they have llc or not Alcyone#2233: Asus are usually overpriced and have lower tier components than the competition in their price brackets, but usually have all the oc options if its marketed as a "gaming" motherboard Exomilav#5434: the gigabyte board has no VRM heatsink, the ABit has no SLI bridge key for some reason, that one Deluxe listing is super expensive (tho i found one from the UK for way cheaper), MSi is just MSi, and the Premium is pretty epic Exomilav#5434: wait no i didnt find a cheaper deluxe listing Exomilav#5434: :Hahahahaha: Exomilav#5434: found a more expensive premium listing from the UK with all the accessories i hope
Exomilav#5434: soooo its either the premium and OCing or the Gigabyte but no OC Exomilav#5434: hmmmmmmm TheFifthAce#4128: @Alcyone ye its just a fat 3 phase lo Alcyone#2233: obese 3 phase JustinXenyx#8854: Don't think i've seen them yet TheFifthAce#4128: o 🅱 e s e JustinXenyx#8854: When i use Kleinanzeigen i search locally, so that's probably why i haven't seen that lol Alcyone#2233: those look like dell or hp oem 1070s JustinXenyx#8854: Yeah, i've seen that cooler on some OEM 1070s Alcyone#2233: cost optimized af, you would need an accelero to get regular aib performance Alcyone#2233: maybe crossflash the bios if it has some gimped power limit to try and make the shit cooling work better SussyBalls#4615: it's the hp one, the don't touch thingy on the blower is there because they know those who buy it are already retarded:Hahahahaha: Alcyone#2233: its not just for the fan, It is a warning to drop the card and leave it where it lies SussyBalls#4615: wtf apparently this is a hp gtx 1080 not too bad of a design https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/632694723982655498/5be6ed9ccae9eb35052aa4c5.png

russ_the_b#5525: blaze it your pc will TheFifthAce#4128: 15 fucking amps on the 12v but 25a on the 3.3 TheFifthAce#4128: that is a genuine bomb TheFifthAce#4128: its a fuckin huntkey PSU that, by review, can deliver only fucking 180w despite being a "420w psu" TheFifthAce#4128: LC power is a legit brand but their psus are shit TheFifthAce#4128: they're almost all group regulated garbage JustinXenyx#8854: I'd trash it JustinXenyx#8854: Seen many of those dead, no one wants em TheFifthAce#4128: you should legitimately put it in a vault under 6 feet of solid steel Galilool#3398: *spotted the bomb carrier* Galilool#3398: delivering it to the customer ->*go go go go go it's going to blow up!* TheFifthAce#4128: when a 420w psu has a rated max wattage of 180w TheFifthAce#4128: thats fucking scary mode TheFifthAce#4128: I bet it delivers 90w while consuming like 500w JustinXenyx#8854: I do have to say though, the ITX boards that do exist are pretty high quality
JustinXenyx#8854: They just haven't made any midrange ITX boards yet JustinXenyx#8854: Every week, so quite frequently TheFifthAce#4128: I've built over 300 pcs TheFifthAce#4128: :kok: TheFifthAce#4128: used locally or donated JustinXenyx#8854: Both, depending on what i need really JustinXenyx#8854: But buying used cases from eBay etc sucks massive magnum dong Tinybox#9112: ***did I hear germany***? Tinybox#9112: oi oi fellow german Tinybox#9112: was geht ab Tinybox#9112: Alles klar bei dir? Tinybox#9112: aight Tinybox#9112: Well whatcha need Tinybox#9112: I'm quite familiar with the german market TheFifthAce#4128: even tho he sucks at it and asks questions constantly
TheFifthAce#4128: :fedorathonkk: Tinybox#9112: @TheFifthAce I ask constantly because I like to confirm. TheFifthAce#4128: kok Tinybox#9112: Perhaps I do seem like a total noob :Hahahahaha: But I'm not as much of a noob like I seem...just tend to be kinda unsure sometimes. JustinXenyx#8854: I've used this case often lately for more budget oriented builds: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B015KFXMC2/ Tinybox#9112: ***however I'm still a noob when it comes to stuff like PSUs*** And windows troubleshooting sometimes, however I do know a thing or two :GWmythsBlobPresent: Tinybox#9112: @Deleted User Tinybox#9112: If you want to buy a case in germany. Tinybox#9112: I suggest you use germany version of pcpartpicker, they got every damn case in germany basically, and they spec'ed them all out, all in a convenient package for you to look through Tinybox#9112: https://geizhals.de JustinXenyx#8854: that's not the german version of pcpartpicker JustinXenyx#8854: de.pcpartpicker.com is Tinybox#9112: pcpartpicker is pretty shit, in terms of finding parts in germany.
But hey that compatability checker is supreme. Tinybox#9112: geizhals just got a wider range of stuff. Tinybox#9112: "specs?" Tinybox#9112: My dude. Tinybox#9112: Ich meine eher, "warum erwähnst du jetzt" specs :GWmemetownKappaChino: Aber okay. Anyway back to englesh. I think the reason why people prefer pcpartpicker over geizhals is due to the compatability checker. Tinybox#9112: In terms of options and filters, geizhals and pcpartpicker are nearly identical imo Galilool#3398: DEUTSCHE GENOSSEN? Tinybox#9112: ja Tinybox#9112: https://geizhals.de/?cat=gehatx&xf=8659_mit&asuch=&bpmin=&bpmax=33&v=e&hloc=de&filter=aktualisieren&plz=&dist=&sort=t Tinybox#9112: here's a link Tinybox#9112: with the filter applied (max 33 euros) Tinybox#9112: (and window)

JustinXenyx#8854: I think my answer got lost/wasnt read so i'll repost: Right now i'm using this case for some budget builds https://www.amazon.de/dp/B015KFXMC2/ Tinybox#9112: ye like I said geizhals got a greeat range Tinybox#9112: just to show you the difference Tinybox#9112: @Deleted User Tinybox#9112: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/products/case/#X=0,3480&B=2,5,3,4 Tinybox#9112: this is pcpartpicker with the same filters Tinybox#9112: It's absurd compared to geizhals range. Tinybox#9112: yea Tinybox#9112: yea, IT SURE DOEs Tinybox#9112: that's why, the germans real "pc part picker" is geizhals. Tinybox#9112: no question Galilool#3398: rumors about my death were greatly exxagerated
Tinybox#9112: @JustinXenyx yea that case aint bad TheFifthAce#4128: tomorrow Tinybox#9112: But how is it airflow wise? Tinybox#9112: justin? Tinybox#9112: that case. Tinybox#9112: it looks good because of the mesh at front? but is out of the box airflow any good? Galilool#3398: case? fractal design focus g. Galilool#3398: period BigPierogi#3368: i have one Galilool#3398: and? Galilool#3398: how is it? BigPierogi#3368: pretty good BigPierogi#3368: a lot of mesh
BigPierogi#3368: as the name implies BigPierogi#3368: no BigPierogi#3368: i actually use it BigPierogi#3368: its not yikes Tinybox#9112: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/632711167713869824/unknown.png Tinybox#9112: also heres a tip no, when browsing geizhals Tinybox#9112: always check "besonderheiten" BigPierogi#3368: @Deleted User what do you mean Tinybox#9112: they tend to put quite a few things there, that I think should be seperate :Oof: BigPierogi#3368: people still use them JustinXenyx#8854: @Tinybox The airflow seems alright from what i've tested, but i'd say that blue fan is a bit weak IMO BigPierogi#3368: like me TheFifthAce#4128: cum BigPierogi#3368: also most cases dont have them BigPierogi#3368: ok
BigPierogi#3368: im gonna pretend like i understand you Tinybox#9112: damn that sucks but for 30 euros, still can't complain that much. Tinybox#9112: At least you're getting a decent looking case, (if you wanted no window) Tinybox#9112: But personally I woulda probably bought this ehre Tinybox#9112: https://geizhals.de/antec-nx100-schwarz-0-761345-80022-8-a1964742.html?hloc=de BigPierogi#3368: what case Tinybox#9112: Not because of airflow Tinybox#9112: because of the looks Tinybox#9112: :Hahahahaha: JustinXenyx#8854: the fan @Deleted User Tinybox#9112: yea but it's sufficent right? JustinXenyx#8854: I usually just chuck some 3€ arctics in to help with airflow Tinybox#9112: yea arctic f12s and p12s got epic value. Tinybox#9112: @Deleted User you want your components to live long right? Galilool#3398: i have three f12s
Tinybox#9112: if, you should probably care about airflow Tinybox#9112: tbh no, you should spend 2 euros more and get a case with a glas window Tinybox#9112: I SAID NO BECAUSE NO IS YOUR DISC NAME Tinybox#9112: damn it Tinybox#9112: yea raise the bar to 35 euros though intead of 33 if you can Tinybox#9112: btw here's an epic tip Tinybox#9112: when you are looking for shit on the german market Tinybox#9112: always go to mindfactory and check mindstar. Tinybox#9112: (Mindfactory is basically one of the biggest electronic "stores" next to amazon) in germany Tinybox#9112: yeet Alcyone#2233: if youre not getting a glass window case, get a no window case. acrylic will look like shit within a year BigPierogi#3368: aka dusty af Alcyone#2233: it will get little microscratches just from handling it and wiping it down, and yes after a while the plastic gets hazy and theres no real way to fix that aside from polishing it like some old car headlights BigPierogi#3368: i have acrylic BigPierogi#3368: its clean for now
BigPierogi#3368: but id have to wait a few motnhs Alcyone#2233: I had a few back when it was the only thing you could get Alcyone#2233: maybe modern ones are better but I would avoid it if possible BigPierogi#3368: i think its gotten better JustinXenyx#8854: Also: If you're clumsy, don't get a tempered glass case. That shit shatters easily and if you're lucky enough the shards spread out so much that there are shards in places you can't get them out of BigPierogi#3368: ive had one since july BigPierogi#3368: no micro scratches yet Alcyone#2233: i think you would have to be especuially heavy handed to break the glass panel, or drop it on a hard surface.I can knock on mine like its a front door to a house BigPierogi#3368: tempered glass is fragile BigPierogi#3368: so like BigPierogi#3368: if you lean it on something BigPierogi#3368: and it falls on the floor BigPierogi#3368: it might crack BigPierogi#3368: or shatter Alcyone#2233: not especially so thats what car windows are made out of
BigPierogi#3368: well BigPierogi#3368: depends Alcyone#2233: it breaks into tiny cubes BigPierogi#3368: some are thickers than others Alcyone#2233: it will make a mess when it breaks though, turns into a pile of pebbles https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/632715282259116033/shattered-tempered-glass-CTWKJ3.png BigPierogi#3368: well duh BigPierogi#3368: its glass Alcyone#2233: if the glass isnt tempered it can fuck you up when it breaks, like standard home windows BigPierogi#3368: either way BigPierogi#3368: if you break galss BigPierogi#3368: your fucked Alcyone#2233: not really, tempered glass isnt that sharp and the pieces are tiny BigPierogi#3368: yes Alcyone#2233: regular glass will cut your ass to the bone https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/632716175234564096/D9_33_664_1200.png BigPierogi#3368: but cleaning can be a bitch
BigPierogi#3368: especially if you somehow break it in carpet Alcyone#2233: if youre handy and it was dirt cheap you could get plexi, trim it and drill 4 holes for a repair TheFifthAce#4128: do solid titanium Alcyone#2233: giant heatsink, goes all the way to the socket and screws to the case for mount TheFifthAce#4128: takes like 5 minutes, 5$ and a trip to the hardware store Alcyone#2233: I gotta get ready for big dum work Alcyone#2233: catch you budgets later Exomilav#5434: https://www.ebay.com/itm/163786267926 Exomilav#5434: this one is nice for 2005 build but has bulging capactiors Exomilav#5434: should i be worried? BigPierogi#3368: just make the place where the glass is broken a mega heatsink BigPierogi#3368: like BigPierogi#3368: big ass piece of alimunim BigPierogi#3368: and like 20 heat pipes BigPierogi#3368: for cpu and gpu
BigPierogi#3368: oc to 5ghz on both BigPierogi#3368: and boom TheFifthAce#4128: hes a stinky man Exomilav#5434: lol TheFifthAce#4128: he stink Hustin#6475: Are there any differences between the thermalright macho direct and the macho rev. B? Rinis#2222: if the motherboard was any good i'd have gotten it for 40 at most Rinis#2222: just to see how far i could overclokc irt mynameistak3n#6865: My wired Xbox 360 controller isn't working JustinXenyx#8854: @Hustin Macho direct has one less heatpipe Tinybox#9112: wait holy shit Tinybox#9112: these guys are fast af Tinybox#9112: They already shipped my stuff Tinybox#9112: Well it seems that the wifi adapter will be coming extremely soon Tinybox#9112: and that on a sunday
Exomilav#5434: @TheFifthAce do i TheFifthAce#4128: :hoesmad: TheFifthAce#4128: :FeelsPingedMan: Exomilav#5434: :Noo: JustinXenyx#8854: Considering todays market, not really TheFifthAce#4128: I did that already smh TheFifthAce#4128: https://www.reddit.com/r/hardwareswap/comments/cqu7ik/usava_h_gaming_computer_for_college_student_w_free/ Galilool#3398: he does that every once in a while Jam#0384: The reason you would spend that much on old parts if because they were top class Jam#0384: But I wouldn't buy that particular board for $70 Jam#0384: Maybe if it was like one of the best of that socket with nForce Ultra chipset or something Impish#5173: Hey i have a sony m2 and i forgot the password(pin) is there anyway i can remove it without data loss? (Ive tried programs such as iskysoft tool box but it said my device isnt compatible) TheGeekster#8508: experia m2? unfortunately if you could remove the pin without dataloss... it wouldn't be very secure TheGeekster#8508: if you picked to encrypt the phone with the pin when you first set it, i really doubt there's any "not very very expensive" way of doing it TheGeekster#8508: could contact some data recovery companies if the data is vital and not backed up? @Impish
Impish#5173: yeah data isnt backed up :// Impish#5173: what ways could i try to fix it though>? Impish#5173: (sorry if my english is bad) Impish#5173: when i use the emergency dial and tyr to fix it,it says "call not sent (phone number|) is not a emergency phone number)] Impish#5173: in the worst case i could pay but how much would it be TheGeekster#8508: your best bet is to contact a data recovery company, i have no idea how much it would be unfortunately TheGeekster#8508: android has gotten quite good at locking things down now Lady Mipha#0611: ^^ Impish#5173: alright so the only way is to contact a data recovery company? TheGeekster#8508: if it is truly irreplaceable, then yeah Impish#5173: alright thanks Tinybox#9112: oh damn, this is the first time an amazon seller didn't instantly give me a tracking number after dispatching the product. :GWcmeisterPeepoShrug: Is it even worth asking? (Bought an M.2 wifi card) Abe.#3344: Generally, what's better. 2700x or 3600? tdp2612#3835: id go for a 3600 as its obviously newer
tdp2612#3835: https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-Ryzen-7-2700X-vs-AMD-Ryzen-5-3600/3958vs4040 tdp2612#3835: just checking the obvious google results, theyre tit for tat the same, but with newer architecture, should use less power, run cooler and be supported longer Abe.#3344: But productivity wise, 2700x, right? tdp2612#3835: i mean if youre rendering the extra cores might be nice, but then if in synthetic tests the results are near the same then maybe that would be reflected in at least rendering tdp2612#3835: depends how well whatever youre using can make use of 16 threads TheFifthAce#4128: @Abe. no TheFifthAce#4128: 3600 is generally faster in every application, unless a program specifically gets aid from extra cores, the extra IPC and clockspeed of the 3600 make it amuch better option Abe.#3344: Doesn't the 2700x have a higher clock? tdp2612#3835: 2700(x) has 8c16t at 3.7 tdp2612#3835: 3600 has 6c12t at 3.6 Abe.#3344: But TBF, the 3600 should have more room for OC tdp2612#3835: again its just can your programs get a good upgrade from the extra cores, more than the benefit of a newer chipset? Abe.#3344: What are the advantages of x570 over x470, except Gen 4 PCI-E tdp2612#3835: well nada tdp2612#3835: but as a workstation, surely transfer speed is important
TheFifthAce#4128: zen 2 has higher boost clocks @Abe. TheFifthAce#4128: base clocks dont mean shit TheFifthAce#4128: @tdp2612 Abe.#3344: @TheFifthAce do you mean PBO? Abe.#3344: Or boost clocks? TheFifthAce#4128: boost clocks Abe.#3344: But the 2700x has a higher boost clock than the 3600 tdp2612#3835: i hadnt checked them tbh Abe.#3344: 4.3 to 4.2 Abe.#3344: But it shouldn't be hard to OC tdp2612#3835: then for that surely the 3600 would be better, as it should run cooler meaning more overhead to then overclock TheFifthAce#4128: 4.3 is single core boost TheFifthAce#4128: its not doing all core 4.3, the 2700x TheFifthAce#4128: meanwhile the 3600 can do 4.1-4.2 all core Tinybox#9112: @Abe. Gotta side with @TheFifthAce , unless you really need those extra cores, the 3600 is just a way better option in nearly every way.
