TheFifthAce#4128: 225 KeZz#4943: Moment of truth KeZz#4943: +225 now. Loading benchmark TheFifthAce#4128: have you touched mem yet KeZz#4943: Don't give me disco lights plez! KeZz#4943: Not yet KeZz#4943: Seems fine, but I'm only on the start of it TheFifthAce#4128: which cpu KeZz#4943: Is there anything else I needed to do aside from getting MSI afterburner? KeZz#4943: Maybe this is just me changing numbers and it's doing fk all TheFifthAce#4128: msi afterburner is fine KeZz#4943: Oh ok TheFifthAce#4128: you said the benchmark score was going up KeZz#4943: I5 4950 or something TheFifthAce#4128: 4590
KeZz#4943: Probably that one KeZz#4943: 😅 TheFifthAce#4128: try mem oc now :uwuPip: KeZz#4943: Not try get more core? KeZz#4943: Oh, benchmark crashed TheFifthAce#4128: nah you're at the limit lmao TheFifthAce#4128: keep 200 core TheFifthAce#4128: and start upping mem clock KeZz#4943: Put had no issues whilst running KeZz#4943: Ok TheFifthAce#4128: it crashed TheFifthAce#4128: thats an issue TheFifthAce#4128: keep to 200 core TheFifthAce#4128: you wont see fucky textures that much with unstable core clock KeZz#4943: What amount each time?
TheFifthAce#4128: that's more with unstable mem TheFifthAce#4128: +50 TheFifthAce#4128: until you hit 150 TheFifthAce#4128: then by 25 incremeents TheFifthAce#4128: or you could yolo and just put 200 in TheFifthAce#4128: thats what I do KeZz#4943: Ok, I mean. Isn't mem clock usually OC'd to higher than Core? TheFifthAce#4128: yes KeZz#4943: You are 200 core, 750 mem TheFifthAce#4128: I'd still start at 200ish TheFifthAce#4128: :uwuPip: TheFifthAce#4128: it's not a clock restraint KeZz#4943: So why not do 100s? Any issues with messing up the hardware? Or just that it's easy to tell where it's failing? TheFifthAce#4128: its a power restraint TheFifthAce#4128: you're limited to 75w
TheFifthAce#4128: you can only go so high before you trip some ocp meme KeZz#4943: Meme or memory? TheFifthAce#4128: and no, no risk of messing up hardware TheFifthAce#4128: you aren't touching voltage KeZz#4943: That's good to hear, don't want to break the card TheFifthAce#4128: but yeah if you wanna yeet, start at a 200 mem clock KeZz#4943: Temps are still 59c now, nothing high KeZz#4943: I think the score was 1300 on first OC (50). I'll see what it is now. KeZz#4943: 15/17 KeZz#4943: 1360 KeZz#4943: Not sure how much better that is, but there it is TheFifthAce#4128: 4.62% KeZz#4943: Increase so far? TheFifthAce#4128: yes KeZz#4943: Oh nice, just yeeted to 200
KeZz#4943: Um..let's see KeZz#4943: Is it that bad if I do 100 each time, until it fails. And then work backwards by 25s? KeZz#4943: Why is 25 each time recommended? KeZz#4943: 1378 now, no issues at 200 KeZz#4943: @TheFifthAce Hopefully you haven't left, what does it mean is it's now 1342 after doing it at 300 mem? Xbox 360 1953#2640: https://www.amazon.com/PLA09215B12H-N460GTX-N560GTX-580GTX-Graphics/dp/B01M65LJFT maybe this SuSSudio#2688: too bad i'm not from the US :sad_peter: SuSSudio#2688: Can't find that locally either except the need to cannibalize from another card of the same make Xbox 360 1953#2640: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32225250100.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.2c2b6164LdXtcg&algo_pvid=d2c228a8-a981-494a-8188-1a98d8327002&algo_expid=d2c228a8-a981-494a-8188-1a98d8327002-0&btsid=14205097-c7df-4a45-b09a-d968fd6e8ac8&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_3,searchweb201603_53 thers this too SuSSudio#2688: I'll discuss w my dad tomorrow to see if we can get it, thx for suggesting Xbox 360 1953#2640: np KeZz#4943: 1401 now - Bench score for anyone wondering :) TheFifthAce#4128: nice TheFifthAce#4128: 7.7% improvement KeZz#4943: Wonder what's the highest anyone got on a 1050 ti
TheFifthAce#4128: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/669966459732099073/unknown.png TheFifthAce#4128: this TheFifthAce#4128: 1428 KeZz#4943: Says position 1963? TheFifthAce#4128: thats position out of all superposition 1080p extreme results TheFifthAce#4128: that's the highest 1080p extreme 1050 ti JustinXenyx#8854: 1650 is an upgrade, it's just not a big enough one to justify over a 1050Ti @DarknessFalls229 KeZz#4943: That's the highest score on this Benchmark on extreme using 1080p 1050 ti? TheFifthAce#4128: yes KeZz#4943: I'm at 1419 and no artifact or crash TheFifthAce#4128: keep going, get the best score uwu KeZz#4943: It's unlikely I'll beat the best score...what would be the chances. TheFifthAce#4128: idk KeZz#4943: It's 210 core and 750 Mem now TheFifthAce#4128: its only 10 higher score to beat it
KeZz#4943: 750 seems to be running fine so far. KeZz#4943: Still 60c temp TheFifthAce#4128: nice TheFifthAce#4128: mem oc wont influence gpu temps KeZz#4943: Oh ok KeZz#4943: Just general info then, so you know I ain't bbq-ing here TheFifthAce#4128: ye KeZz#4943: 17/17 now, no issues so far KeZz#4943: Ok, so I put it to 725 not 750. But now it's 1400 after that test. KeZz#4943: With 25 increase... TheFifthAce#4128: wack, could be unstable KeZz#4943: Really? TheFifthAce#4128: try increasing the core back to 225 TheFifthAce#4128: :uwuPip: KeZz#4943: I could try 750?
KeZz#4943: Back to 225? KeZz#4943: It was 200 I settled on. Now 210 and seems fine. Crashed at 225 last time. TheFifthAce#4128: ye TheFifthAce#4128: oh rip TheFifthAce#4128: prolly as good as youll get it then KeZz#4943: I'm trying 750 now KeZz#4943: See what happens KeZz#4943: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/669969535071158292/OC_1050.PNG KeZz#4943: No issues or crash. What do i do? KeZz#4943: 800 - no issues, but 1421 score. Is that normal? TheFifthAce#4128: thats normal TheFifthAce#4128: just test to test variance TheFifthAce#4128: you wont get the same score each time TheFifthAce#4128: you're almost to beating the record KeZz#4943: Ye, and at 850 and no issues
KeZz#4943: Even core is at 215 and no problem TheFifthAce#4128: nice TheFifthAce#4128: keep going until something happens KeZz#4943: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/669974823790968852/oc_1050_ti_ext.PNG KeZz#4943: @TheFifthAce KeZz#4943: No issues yet TheFifthAce#4128: n i c e TheFifthAce#4128: save that result KeZz#4943: I have TheFifthAce#4128: nice TheFifthAce#4128: you have the best 1050 ti now KeZz#4943: XD TheFifthAce#4128: at least for that specific benchmark KeZz#4943: Time for 900+ mem? TheFifthAce#4128: sure
TheFifthAce#4128: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/669975338998300747/unknown.png TheFifthAce#4128: this is what they had KeZz#4943: My mem clock is 4400 KeZz#4943: But 1911 for core TheFifthAce#4128: nice KeZz#4943: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/669975889999691776/JPEG_20200123_184501.jpg TheFifthAce#4128: you're at 11.5% better perf now KeZz#4943: 1457 score now TheFifthAce#4128: nice KeZz#4943: I mean, it's 220 now and 925 and running fine. Let's see the result. KeZz#4943: Should I be getting it as close as possible to a crash or stay a bit away? KeZz#4943: So let's say 225 is crash, should I be at 215 or 220? KeZz#4943: Or further. KeZz#4943: 220 and 925 - Score 1456. KeZz#4943: I might right the Benchmark at the normal benchmark once I'm done with this and see exactly what it gets score wise.
KeZz#4943: 1463 now @TheFifthAce TheFifthAce#4128: nice KeZz#4943: Ok, so with that set up using that OC. Benchmark on normal crashed 🤔. So it's likely too much, even with the really high score? Alcyone#2233: you should do one or the other first and not both, especially on a 75w card Alcyone#2233: if you are hitting the power limit the core will throttle, and even with no artifacts error correction in gddr can lower peak score KeZz#4943: Ye, it's restarting the Benchmark at 940 Alcyone#2233: get peak scores for each (core/vram) with the other at default then combine the oc and see if it is stable. KeZz#4943: On low the benchmark is crashing, but wasn't on extreme KeZz#4943: What does that mean? Alcyone#2233: instability KeZz#4943: I'll take it down slowly until it's all stable. Then that should be ok? KeZz#4943: 210 + 915 is now fine so far, running the low benchmark Jam#0384: 11.7 FPS? Jam#0384: In what superpositon Jam#0384: I get 30 in 1080p extreme and 40 in 4K optimized
Jam#0384: And like 25-30 in 8K TheFifthAce#4128: @Jam hes running a 1050 ti Jam#0384: Still, 11.7 FPS Jam#0384: That’s god awful Jam#0384: Unless hes running it at 4K or something for some reason Jam#0384: But to be fair Jam#0384: These arent meant to run super duper well KeZz#4943: Ran in on Extreme for all those pictures Jam#0384: Ah ok KeZz#4943: Ye, its a 1050 TI, not expecting 30 fps Jam#0384: Extreme is either the most or second most demanding Jam#0384: So, those results are fine KeZz#4943: Most, although after that its 2x x4 and 4k? KeZz#4943: Just played a round of Rainbow 6. No issues, and frames went from 75-90 to 90-120. Most likely just the map, but still feels better. KeZz#4943: 20 min, 152 avg, 266 max - OC
KeZz#4943: 35 min, 146 avg, 234 max - Non OC KeZz#4943: Ingame benchmark TheFifthAce#4128: @Tech Helper trying to get a friend in canada a phone, doesn't need cellular or anything, just needs to run the authy app meme for discord TheFifthAce#4128: I'm buying it for him TheGeekster#8508: literally any android phone should work then? Deleted User#0000: :HyperThinkBlob: any android 5/6 phone is a good idea TheGeekster#8508: Like even an old tablet should work Deleted User#0000: Ye Deleted User#0000: @TheFifthAce could he not use bluestacks or something? Deleted User#0000: :hmst: TheFifthAce#4128: whats the cheapest option on ebay that woujld work Deleted User#0000: Has he tried bluestacks @TheFifthAce Jam#0384: It shouldn’t be so difficult to find a cheaper android for sub $100 which performs pretty damn well Jam#0384: But I would prioritize camera quality over perf because as long as it runs normal apps fine its good Jam#0384: But thats just me
Jam#0384: Make sure it has at least 8-16GB storage Xbox 360 1953#2640: iirc s6 are below 100 Xbox 360 1953#2640: and i was able to root mine and install custom roms tdp2612#3835: ooooo tdp2612#3835: thats not a bad call tdp2612#3835: old touchwiz is shit but if you can stick like android 6 even, not even anything mega new Budget#8265: @TheFifthAce Cubot usually does stock android cheap smartphones Budget#8265: @UKVamp has one Clode#2428: Is a good idea to use a modded version of windows 10 like win10 lite on a low end machine? TheGeekster#8508: define low end machine, cuz if you use a windows install that's been fiddled by someone else, then you don't know what's in or not in it Clode#2428: Can you explain me better Clode#2428: I didnt understand TheGeekster#8508: What specs are the the machine? It's best not to use a windows installation that someone else has altered if possible Clode#2428: Oh ok Clode#2428: Im talking like a old c2d and some nvidia card idk for sure
Racey#8574: An old Core2 Duo PC can run Windows, main speed depends on the RAM and HDD Racey#8574: My Inspiron 1525 has a Celeron M 560 and it runs 10 just fine Lady Mipha#0611: :monkaX: JustinXenyx#8854: I personally would advise to stay away from every OS that had been modded, you never know if something else was modified other than what they're saying @Clode JustinXenyx#8854: And a Core 2 Duo machine can easily run Windows 10 by itself, Win10 Lite wouldn't help much Jam#0384: Windows 8.1 (if you dont mind using it) would provide a better gaming experience on such a cpu, but either way for newer games the experience is crap so Racey#8574: Windows 8.1 is the odd one out Racey#8574: Doesn't have DireftX 12 Racey#8574: But it provides a much faster experience in terms of resource usage JustinXenyx#8854: Windows 7 technically doesn't have DX12 either JustinXenyx#8854: It has been backported for World of Warcraft, but i don't know if other DX12 games can run on Windows 7 Racey#8574: Bruh imagine adding a new API version to an old OS just for one program Jam#0384: Theres no issue with that Jam#0384: You could just leave it Jam#0384: Won’t cause any issue afaik
TheFifthAce#4128: @JustinXenyx I can't find an enclosure for this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/670106781178920970/unknown.png TheFifthAce#4128: it's just a sata drive that had the enclosure removed Jam#0384: you can always just do a gamer move and cardboard Galilool#3398: Wood Galilool#3398: Wood is dope SuSSudio#2688: HELP, secondary DVI-I port on the HD 6850 STOPPED WORKING after cleaning, it doesn't pick up display, just black screen. What did i fucked up? SuSSudio#2688: Primary DVI-I port fortunately works as intended, but the second because i had it working before i cleaned up the card. JustinXenyx#8854: what did you clean it with? SuSSudio#2688: To give you more clue i did soaked the rear end of pcb with 70% alcohol SuSSudio#2688: Then i let it dry JustinXenyx#8854: Something probably didn't dry off fully JustinXenyx#8854: Also, the lower the alcohol concentration the longer it takes for the mixture to evaporate JustinXenyx#8854: That's why i basically only use 99% IPA, stuff dries in seconds
SuSSudio#2688: well yeah, so what's the conclusion? SuSSudio#2688: Did the circuitry on the 2nd port died or smth JustinXenyx#8854: *just let it dry a little longer ffs lol* SuSSudio#2688: Still no display SuSSudio#2688: Welp, guess i killed the 2nd dvi port KeZz#4943: Anyone know why a monitor wouldn't let me change colour settings? It's greyed out and I really want to change some stuff. JustinXenyx#8854: Does it have the feature to change color settings? Some monitors only have basic color configuration or lack it entirely KeZz#4943: It wasnt letting me, but i figured it out. KeZz#4943: It wasnt registering Custom (game) as a customisable option KeZz#4943: Next think is to figure out how to smooth out the text, feels like it leaking. Dont know how tho. KeZz#4943: Generally everything has rougher edges xXSUBEXx#9544: does anybody know hy my Pc Crashhes when i start Gta 5. It blackscreens xXSUBEXx#9544: Sometimes it works but Sometimes it will not work SuSSudio#2688: @xXSUBEXx What video card? xXSUBEXx#9544: Zotac GTX 1070 AMP EXTREME
SuSSudio#2688: Have you reinstalled drivers? SuSSudio#2688: And verify game files for the GTA V xXSUBEXx#9544: im pretty sure xXSUBEXx#9544: i did both xXSUBEXx#9544: sometimes it works out of the blue SuSSudio#2688: Run furmark to see if the screen will go black again xXSUBEXx#9544: currently its working xXSUBEXx#9544: but ill check xXSUBEXx#9544: Nope crashed. Its Blackscreens and the GPU fans go to full speed xXSUBEXx#9544: i was stress testing the gpu as soon as it loaded it crashed KeZz#4943: I've got a quick question for anyone that knows monitors well. So today I set up my 144 Hz monitor, and the game I play I run at anything from 80-120 FPS depending on what's going on. Should I stick to 144 Hz as the refresh despite that, lower it, and should I try sort out freesync even though I have an Nvidia card? And what's the impact this has on the game? KeZz#4943: If anyone can answer that, and teach me. Thank you. KeZz#4943: And what should I set my in-game Hz on? Same as screen? TheFifthAce#4128: keep 144hz anyways, depending on the monitor it might support freesync if you're running through displayport KeZz#4943: I need to find my display port cable, it's somewhere in the house and I can't find it
KeZz#4943: Nevermind, I got a Display to VGA XD TheFifthAce#4128: yeah that wont work KeZz#4943: I know KeZz#4943: I can always buy one if you think it will help me Alcyone#2233: @SuSSudio get 99% iso, in some areas you have to get it over the counter at the pharmacy. if you use the 70% let it dry overnight as that is 30% water and takes a lot longer to evaporate xXSUBEXx#9544: well any1 got a fix for me>? DarknessFalls229#2286: i recommend using Display Driver Uninstaller and re-doing the driver install DarknessFalls229#2286: be sure to download the latest driver from NVIDIAs website tdp2612#3835: yeah its not even worth buying ipa if its under 90% tdp2612#3835: the whole advantage is that it dries quick tdp2612#3835: if youre spending decent ipa price on 70%, yo may as well just use window cleaner or soapy water and just be really careful to let it dry Xbox 360 1953#2640: free fans from xfx for my r9 390 https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/670374979350822952/unknown.png Xbox 360 1953#2640: If I was to replace the fans do i have to repaste the card? DarknessFalls229#2286: if you have free access to the fans without havnig to remove the cooler, you dont have to repaste the card DarknessFalls229#2286: but if the paste is old may aswell as youre busy
Xbox 360 1953#2640: I can use cpu paste, right? DarknessFalls229#2286: yes DarknessFalls229#2286: as long as its good enough quality paste Racey#8574: Most CPU pastes are universal for GPUs and vice versa Xbox 360 1953#2640: Thanks JustinXenyx#8854: thermal paste is thermal paste JustinXenyx#8854: there is no "CPU thermal paste" JustinXenyx#8854: I could use thermal paste that is intended for use in fridges because it is THERMAL PASTE thatubuntuguy#5914: Well put SuSSudio#2688: my monitor occasionally produce electrical rattling noise, a noise you'll normally find in mosquito rackets, happens everytime finishing scrolling page or switching windows, sometimes in games. source of noise comes from bottom left part of the monitor. why is that? thatubuntuguy#5914: I have a similar sound as well thatubuntuguy#5914: I thought it was my gpu but it's still there after I replaced it when it died Racey#8574: Does your monitor have built in speakers @SuSSudio SuSSudio#2688: not at all @Racey SuSSudio#2688: it's a Acer P166HQL
SuSSudio#2688: Same karan, thought so, because when i switched to igp, the noise was reduced significantly, but it remained like that tdp2612#3835: what recomendations are there for cheap 240/50 - 480/500gb ssds? SuSSudio#2688: Is it normal when gpu (specifically HD 6850) reaches to mid 90°Cs under furmark test? Racey#8574: Have you cleaned and or repasted it SuSSudio#2688: When gpu usage drops the temps skipped 80c mark and went straight to 74° and below SuSSudio#2688: yes i did SuSSudio#2688: It's in clean condition Racey#8574: You might've put too much maybe SuSSudio#2688: But average on gaming is between 72-74c SuSSudio#2688: and yeah i used some cheap thermal paste which only has 1,2W/m-K Racey#8574: I used cheap Chinese $1 paste and my 660 does just fine under 75°C on load SuSSudio#2688: What's your TDP though? SuSSudio#2688: Mine is probably around 136-140W since it was oc'ed 860mhz from factory RiIey#0001: hey guys i need some help: So I was downloading apex, and i recognized that my C: drive was full so i changed to the D: drive. but it didnt download to the D: drive. any fixes without me having to restart the download? Racey#8574: Mine has a power limit of 110%
JustinXenyx#8854: It's because of your mediocre cooler @SuSSudio JustinXenyx#8854: There's a reason that people say that furmark literally grills cards Jam#0384: Furmark has never been an issue for any of my hardware Jam#0384: With temps Jam#0384: Sure, high temps but not 90s SuSSudio#2688: @JustinXenyx hey i didn't make the heatsink, msi did, guess jam's was right after all SuSSudio#2688: Last test i break 98c barrier SuSSudio#2688: air felt really warm JustinXenyx#8854: The cooler on my sapphire 6850 has like double the mass of that lmao JustinXenyx#8854: shame it is BIOS cucked rn and missing a inductor lol SuSSudio#2688: I'll try repasting the die again with less density if that'll make any difference SuSSudio#2688: Tweaktown reports 59c on their Cyclone HD 6850 after running 3DMark Vantage, which i doubt i will do too due to different regional climate SuSSudio#2688: This is how it looks after taking out hs. my thermal paste always form some type of lightning branch depiction after being pressed against lol does that look too much? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/670882665280438292/IMG_20200126_134417.jpg
JustinXenyx#8854: what does the cooler look like? JustinXenyx#8854: i'd probably put on a little more tbh Lady Mipha#0611: That looks like not enough contact Yamas8604#5285: looks like not enough SuSSudio#2688: @JustinXenyx Is there a rule to the tightness of the heatsink screw whenever a new thermal paste applied? Alcyone#2233: with spring screws do a couple turns on each in a X pattern until they stop. Like putting a wheel on a car. doesnt have to be TIGHT. you will feel it when the screw bottoms out and that good enough JustinXenyx#8854: Also JustinXenyx#8854: Don't screw them in any tighter than you could with your own hand and a screw driver JustinXenyx#8854: That's how you crack the die big time SuSSudio#2688: I did, thx for the tips Officialy#2961: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/671090637403324444/unknown.png Officialy#2961: pls help Officialy#2961: using vivaldi latest thatubuntuguy#5914: you might need some widevine plugin Officialy#2961: looking now

JustinXenyx#8854: Negative, gonna get 2 broken R9 390s soon for shipping costs from Austria to Germany @DarknessFalls229 JustinXenyx#8854: They don't seem that hard of a fix and something i certainly can fix within my home
DarknessFalls229#2286: nice DarknessFalls229#2286: also, i may have found a heatgun in my workshop so if i get flux i may be able to repair my 690s DarknessFalls229#2286: its weird the amount of stuff i find in my fathers old workshop DarknessFalls229#2286: like i found the tumbler he used, so i can put my own old coins in Officialy#2961: @DarknessFalls229 where tf did you find a 1200w psu for 50 DarknessFalls229#2286: Marktplaats DarknessFalls229#2286: was actually 45 euro without shipping Officialy#2961: damn Officialy#2961: i know gamemax do one but that seems dodgy DarknessFalls229#2286: mines an older cooler master silent pro gold Officialy#2961: damn Officialy#2961: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/671096016556130309/unknown.png Officialy#2961: this is the gamemax one DarknessFalls229#2286: im gonna use it for skulltrail Jam#0384: I have no PSU over 650w thats reliable
DarknessFalls229#2286: damn 1050p Jam#0384: and one 800w Jam#0384: but the 800w is poop because it only supports Haswell and newer DarknessFalls229#2286: why does it only support that kinda platform? Jam#0384: Something older hardware doesnt work on Jam#0384: It wont work on Sandy or older Jam#0384: I dunno why Jam#0384: it just doesnt Jam#0384: I'm sure theres a reason for it thatubuntuguy#5914: that's really weird DarknessFalls229#2286: maybe it sends a weak signal to the activation pin Jam#0384: It's a POS High Power anyways thatubuntuguy#5914: @JustinXenyx what might be wrong with the 390s? Jam#0384: No 80+ thatubuntuguy#5914: oof
thatubuntuguy#5914: that's pretty smelly Jam#0384: I mean it works fine since most things I use doesnt even draw near 800w Jam#0384: so im not afraid of using it in certain situation Jam#0384: But It's uh, not good thatubuntuguy#5914: yeah igu Jam#0384: At least its pretty heavy thatubuntuguy#5914: why are good quality psus heavy thatubuntuguy#5914: /heavier than shit psus thatubuntuguy#5914: is it to do with the heatsinks DarknessFalls229#2286: hmm, now im sad to remember that my 700 watt psu blew Officialy#2961: who heres good at testing power supplys thatubuntuguy#5914: and transformers Jam#0384: Components really Jam#0384: just in general thatubuntuguy#5914: i mean a capacitor is a capacitor

Officialy#2961: bwahaha Officialy#2961: "with over 87% efficiency" Jam#0384: Probably can do half of that reliably Jam#0384: at best Officialy#2961: 4500 RPM fans for it too Officialy#2961: non stop at max DarknessFalls229#2286: afteral its a mining psu Officialy#2961: yeah Officialy#2961: true Officialy#2961: but thatubuntuguy#5914: that just suggests they couldn't afford a cheap pwm circuit to regulate the fan speed Officialy#2961: literally Officialy#2961: it would probably end up mining a hole in your floor from exploding Jam#0384: Nah Jam#0384: I've used 10000RPM fans before
Jam#0384: fun stuff Officialy#2961: i have a 15000 RPM fan Officialy#2961: server one ofc thatubuntuguy#5914: can prolly make a ridiculously fast fan Jam#0384: dont put your finger in the 10K fan though Jam#0384: because Officialy#2961: pfft yeaaah thatubuntuguy#5914: using a hdd motor Jam#0384: mine is metal Jam#0384: so Jam#0384: uh Officialy#2961: just thatubuntuguy#5914: oooooofffff Officialy#2961: dont put your finger in ANY fan Officialy#2961: unless its a woman fan

Jam#0384: my 10K rpm fan is a tiny metal one thatubuntuguy#5914: yeahhh that one thatubuntuguy#5914: that's the video right there JustinXenyx#8854: @thatubuntuguy Both have mosfet issues, the person i'm getting them from already bought replacement mosfets tho and is gonna ship them aswell thatubuntuguy#5914: @JustinXenyx ah very cool! so nothing a heatgun can fix Jam#0384: stick your finger in it no balls
Officialy#2961: also god this one lmfao Officialy#2961: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EM2G5vLGcQQ Officialy#2961: that'd end up blowing a capacitor OFF JustinXenyx#8854: nah, quite literally something a heatgun is gonna fix lol @thatubuntuguy Gonna use a heatgun to take off the broken mosfet and put the working one on tdp2612#3835: >worth over 1000 tdp2612#3835: >'i DoNt KnOw SpEcS sOrRY' tdp2612#3835: https://www.gumtree.com/p/desktop-workstation-pcs/gaming-pc-with-mouse-/1363760396 thatubuntuguy#5914: @JustinXenyx no i got that lol Officialy#2961: wtfff Officialy#2961: hoowwww Officialy#2961: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/671104412638248978/unknown.png thatubuntuguy#5914: good luck mate thatubuntuguy#5914: two working 390s would be heaven :feelsgoodman: thatubuntuguy#5914: 600W xfire time lmao thatubuntuguy#5914: how powerful would a xfire 390 setup be
JustinXenyx#8854: not that much given one of the cards would have to run in cucked X4 mode Xbox 360 1953#2640: theres not even a graphics card on that pc Alcyone#2233: @tdp2612 lol thats a low end fm2+ mobo Alcyone#2233: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/671105081076350996/1212590-n0.png thatubuntuguy#5914: @JustinXenyx oof tdp2612#3835: should I offer him like 50 tdp2612#3835: i could put it in that red case and have an early 2000s performing system :frobotmoment: Jam#0384: 50 for whay Jam#0384: what Jam#0384: Early 2000s is a wide range Jam#0384: the different between each year is massive Jam#0384: and 2000 looks nearly a decade behind 2004 tdp2612#3835: i mean buy this rather than going 775 for sort of good for 2003-mediocre for 2008 style tdp2612#3835: i might be really slagging off fm2 and c2qs here tbf tdp2612#3835: i dont know shit about old stuff, thats your territory
Jam#0384: most thats good for 2003 wont even launch 2008 games Jam#0384: let alone play them Jam#0384: High end 2005 is where that starts to become doable Jam#0384: I actually own the most powerful card of 2003. It caps out around 2006 for running games decently-well. You also do lose some ability for features around that point. It is capable of running some games from 2008, playable even. But the lack of ShaderModel 3.0 really ruins it Jam#0384: But that card is pretty rare Jam#0384: @tdp2612 tdp2612#3835: fair enough Jam#0384: So if you really want something with a wide range core 2 and geforce 8 series is the most affordable tdp2612#3835: fair enough tdp2612#3835: ill use the q8300 ive had sat for ages, buy a decent ish board Jam#0384: yeah, thats the smart way to go tdp2612#3835: then something old but not power hungry i guess tdp2612#3835: i dont wanna just use like a 210 as thats a bit boring Jam#0384: And then you can get 2x2gb ddr2, get 2 more later Jam#0384: 8600GT is pretty cheap
Jam#0384: 8800GTS is sub $20 sometimes Jam#0384: will play all your retro games Jam#0384: And you can even run XP if you want because all games till 2009-2011 or so will work on XP tdp2612#3835: as in anything pre 2008 ish? tdp2612#3835: ignoring stuff like crysis Jam#0384: It will run Crysis tdp2612#3835: :Hahahahaha: Jam#0384: at like High Jam#0384: Can it run crysis is a meme tdp2612#3835: i struggle to run crysis maxed at 1080 on my 970 Jam#0384: my 2002 Radeon 9700 pro can run crysis Jam#0384: give it a fucking break lmao Jam#0384: Granted 25fps on 800x600 lowest isnt a fun time Jam#0384: but for a card that came out 5 years before Jam#0384: I'd take it
tdp2612#3835: i honestly thought it was impossible tdp2612#3835: partly from the whole joke Jam#0384: No its not that hard tdp2612#3835: and partly because of how mine struggled with all the settings turned up Jam#0384: My X800 and X850 pro from 2004 run crysis at Medium preset 720p 35fps Jam#0384: And my X1950 pro from 2005 on an AGP slot can run Crysis with High preset Jam#0384: My QX6700 rig with a GTX 275 runs it nearly maxxed at 720p with 45-65FPS depending on the environment or firefight tdp2612#3835: ok one problem, why do all these old cards all use dvi tdp2612#3835: i thought theyd have vga Jam#0384: Just get a DVI to VGA adapter Jam#0384: I have a card from 2001 with DVI Jam#0384: VGA was already being phased out by 2006-7 tdp2612#3835: i shouldve bought a few when i got my one tdp2612#3835: 3 pound each Jam#0384: I always use adapter
Jam#0384: makes life easier Jam#0384: but yeah uh Jam#0384: Most cards i have that old dont even use VGA Jam#0384: The high end ones tdp2612#3835: and what would you say for an os for this sort of stuff Jam#0384: even my high end 2002-2003 cards use 1 VGA 1 DVI tdp2612#3835: will xp be fine for drivers Jam#0384: Definitely Jam#0384: GTX 980Ti has full XP driver support Jam#0384: and everything below tdp2612#3835: and where do i download xp nowadays Jam#0384: Uhh Jam#0384: bit of a complication there tdp2612#3835: do i find it in le dms :frobotmoment: Jam#0384: You cant really just download XP typically
Jam#0384: Yes Jam#0384: Cobs has a copy tdp2612#3835: or do i just go on piratebay and hope for the best Jam#0384: All of my copies are on CD Jam#0384: Just ask Cobs Jam#0384: So erm tdp2612#3835: ill get something built first i guess Jam#0384: Yeah XP is typically good for 2000-2009 hardware tdp2612#3835: i hope the guy still has that case, hes been selling it for ages Jam#0384: but 2007-2011 I like to use Win7 personally Jam#0384: But a 2007 WinXP rig still makes total sense Jam#0384: For things 1999 and older I typically use Windows 98SE Jam#0384: Yeah its a good idea to get it built Jam#0384: Test it if you can ofc Jam#0384: BIOS
Jam#0384: test the card in another system if it ends up being PCIe Jam#0384: I would personally recommend going PCIe despite the fact that I love AGP Jam#0384: This is why: You can get a newer platform like LGA775 w/ C2Q and get a high end graphics card from 2004-2005 on there and suffer no gpu bottleneck. And that allows you to swap out for newer cards Jam#0384: Also for reference Jam#0384: GeForce 6800GT PCIe is like $20-$35 tdp2612#3835: so like a mid range 2007/8 card is where its at? Jam#0384: GeForce 6800GT AGP is like $50-$100+ tdp2612#3835: :frobotmoment: Jam#0384: I would go for a GeForce 8800GTS or something like that Jam#0384: Lower high end tdp2612#3835: id probably stick with pci e anyway as I actually know it Jam#0384: 8800GT is good too tdp2612#3835: what about a 9000 series card Jam#0384: AGP works just like PCIe but its just a different slot Jam#0384: 9000 series is basically the same as 8000 series
tdp2612#3835: just a bit newer Jam#0384: AVOID GeForce 7800/7900 series Jam#0384: The cards worth your time are expensive and they underperform heavily Jam#0384: Same with the 6800 series Jam#0384: UNLESS you want to play games up till 2006 only tdp2612#3835: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Inno-3D-GeForce-9800GT-512MB-DDR3-graphics-card-PCIe/143513247797?hash=item216a0e6035:g:AecAAOSw4gVeHJga tdp2612#3835: what about something like that tdp2612#3835: if i wanted to go 9x Jam#0384: That is a solid card Jam#0384: It will run Crysis at High no issues Jam#0384: You could even get away with Tomb Raider 2013 on that Jam#0384: I've used one before tdp2612#3835: anyway ive messaged the guy about the case, if its a yes and i can get it soon ish ill start bidding on stuff on ebay Jam#0384: The Q8300 I would personally replace with a Q9650 or a Q9400 or something along those lines, theyre fairly affordable and can be found cheaply will outperform the early Core 2 Extremes no issue tdp2612#3835: will most motherboards support them though
Jam#0384: Core 2 Extreme is a collectible, it provides little benefit over having the cool name and better TIM. tdp2612#3835: obvoisuly not the mega cheap oens, but would a basic ''''nice'''' board do Jam#0384: If it supports the Q8300 it will support the Q9400 Jam#0384: Typically tdp2612#3835: ah Jam#0384: The Q9650 is a different story tdp2612#3835: so any non oem thing should do Jam#0384: No Jam#0384: Not at allk Jam#0384: LGA 775 was used from 2004-2009 tdp2612#3835: what about being boring and getting a q6600 Jam#0384: There are different generations of motherboards Jam#0384: Q6600 will probably be slower than you Q8300 tdp2612#3835: wut tdp2612#3835: i thought they were oc gods or somthing
tdp2612#3835: the whole 'electrical tape over a pin' thing Jam#0384: Your chip has half the cache, but a higher clock speed and FSB Jam#0384: It also is a better manufacturing process Jam#0384: But you cant be picky and choosy some boards only support 7xxx-9xxx or 9xxx only etc Jam#0384: Compatibility has to be properly researched Jam#0384: Some boards will support all or most cpus tdp2612#3835: what about just using the 8300 until i get bored with it tdp2612#3835: although being sure to get a board with support for further uopgrades Jam#0384: I'd just get a board that can OC Jam#0384: and mess with it tdp2612#3835: what does that mean, what number do i look for Jam#0384: If it can OC it will support a better CPU likely, given it can support your line of quad Jam#0384: Theres no number you look for Jam#0384: just look for LGA775 motherboards and when you see one that looks good, look up its specs and see what it supports tdp2612#3835: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ASUS-P5G41T-M-LX2-GB-Socket-LGA775-Micro-ATX-Motherboard-with-BP/163900207792?epid=116612352&hash=item262936b2b0:g:2gIAAOSwm4tdP~28

I think thats the way to do it, but with this keyboard there isnt a num lock button. At the moment pressing any of the function buttons just does the function, before on the other keyboard pressing F4 opened job select within Gmod, now it puts my PC to sleep and its annoying af. tdp2612#3835: there should be a function button tdp2612#3835: normally around the windows keys
tdp2612#3835: num lock is for the num pad, not function keys KeZz#4943: Ah, just read somewhere and they kept going on about num lock :/ KeZz#4943: Ive got a FN key, so pressing it will turn off the function buttons? KeZz#4943: And let me use them for shortcuts? KeZz#4943: I generally dont use the FN keys for anything, is there any way to permanently stop them from doing their functions. Dont need a pause, fast forward/back, sleep, search, share. Only ones i could use are the display buttons, but meh. tdp2612#3835: yeah it should be a press it and itll turn off tdp2612#3835: hopefully anyway KeZz#4943: Its odd, pressed it. But now the button doesnt do anything. Tried the shortcut to record with shadowplay and it just...doesnt do anything. Deleted User#0000: @KeZz what do you mean exactly by disable function keys? Deleted User#0000: Are you using a laptop by chance? KeZz#4943: Well, i want to just press an F key and for it to do what it does on the other keyboard. KeZz#4943: I use a PC - but have a mechnical and then also a wireless keyboard. KeZz#4943: The Mech one, for example, if i press F4 will open a Job selector within GMOD RP. Whilst on the other hand, on the wireless, it puts the PC to sleep (Has a moon Icon). Deleted User#0000: That's just how they built the wireless one. KeZz#4943: Im seeing if there is any way to just go back to pressing the key without pressing multiple at the same time to remove the main function.
Deleted User#0000: You'll probably have to hold the fn key then press the function keys Deleted User#0000: That's the only way DarknessFalls229#2286: unless theres a way to reverse the fn function Deleted User#0000: Nah Deleted User#0000: Only time I've seen that is on laptops in the bios Deleted User#0000: Only a select few KeZz#4943: So for shadowplay, i have to press FN+ALT+F9? KeZz#4943: Rather than ALT F9 Deleted User#0000: Give it a go KeZz#4943: That worked, but still annoying 😄 KeZz#4943: Because it will take a while to get used to doing that Deleted User#0000: @KeZz it is just how the keyboard is Deleted User#0000: They're usually made to match laptop keyboards KeZz#4943: At least i dont have to keep my other keyboard on hand just for F4 whlst on gmod KeZz#4943: 😄
KeZz#4943: Thanks for your help, its a shame there isnt a way to just remove the functions, but ill live with pressing FN each time Deleted User#0000: It's alright KeZz#4943: Um, im full of issues lately it seems... KeZz#4943: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/671348299982438430/IMG_20200127_133620.jpg KeZz#4943: What does this mean? 🤔🤔 KeZz#4943: All is fine, then it gets really bright and lines appear, then other colour lines. And then...monitor reboots KeZz#4943: All within like 2 seconds? TheGeekster#8508: only the monitor reboots? or the PC does? if it's only the monitor then it's likely to be the LCD controller in the monitor, if it's the whole pc, it's the gpu TheGeekster#8508: if possible, try another cable just incase though KeZz#4943: Only display KeZz#4943: Think its the HDMI possibly? KeZz#4943: In regards to the LCD controller, are the fixes outside of replacement or repair? And how long can it go like that, will it just do that randomly every few days but be fine, or will it get worse and worse and die? TheGeekster#8508: Honestly not really, does the display have any other inputs you could use? If not, then honestly thre's no way of repairing a monitor, unless you're willing to get VERY DIY KeZz#4943: It has HDMI and Display port KeZz#4943: So lets say i left it as is, how will it fair going forward?
TheGeekster#8508: I mean it'll probably just keep failing and rebooting when it realises it's crashed KeZz#4943: but will the time between crashes keep increasing? KeZz#4943: Decreasing* KeZz#4943: If it has an issue like this, but its every few days and lasts 2 seconds, but wont get worse, I can live with it. You know? KeZz#4943: Do you think that switching to display port will fix the issue? Or that wont help at all? Its unlikely the wire is faulty, so my guess you are right with the LCD controller. But where does that stand in terms of impact on the monitor? TheGeekster#8508: Unfortunately it's not a normal thing to go wrong, it could last another year, it could die in a few weeks, there's no real way of telling. If possible, test the other port, as it may only be the HDMI processing that is failing, unlikely, but possible KeZz#4943: Ouch, possibly could die in a few weeks? JustinXenyx#8854: Statistically, not really JustinXenyx#8854: But if you end up winning the "lucky" draw you might have something fail in days JustinXenyx#8854: If you are getting properly fucked the issue might also be with your 1050Ti. You've tried it in different ports i assume? @KeZz KeZz#4943: Ports into the monitor? KeZz#4943: Ive just switched from HDMI 1 to 2. Ill see if and when it happens again. JustinXenyx#8854: Ports on the monitor or the graphics card KeZz#4943: Ill then try a new cable (HDMI). If it happens again, ill go for a display cable and see if it does. If it does, then its either the 1050 or Monitor. right? JustinXenyx#8854: Yeah
JustinXenyx#8854: If the issue does not occur with a laptop but the same input/cable on the monitor we can probably assume with great confidence that the 1050Ti is at fault for the issue KeZz#4943: My problem testing wise, is that it takes so long for it to happen between each time KeZz#4943: Really dont fancy using a laptop screen for 3 days to see it happen. That sounds like hell going from 60 hz, to 144 hz, and then back to 60 hz but smaller and worse quality. KeZz#4943: 'But if you end up winning the "lucky" draw you might have something fail in days' what do you mean? JustinXenyx#8854: Some products with inferior quality can slip through quality control JustinXenyx#8854: And if you end up getting the product with worse quality it can fail within days of you buying it JustinXenyx#8854: hence why "winning the "lucky" draw" KeZz#4943: Justin, in the case where the Monitor is the issue. And it does this every 2-3 days, can you estimate when it will fail completely? KeZz#4943: Rough estimate. JustinXenyx#8854: I'd probably give it another 6 months before it completely dies JustinXenyx#8854: But that's with the issue getting more and more rapid KeZz#4943: So the time between the issue with get shorter. Annoying. tdp2612#3835: ok this case is even better than i thought tdp2612#3835: its all metal rather than plastic like i was expecting tdp2612#3835: maybe i should make this my main rig case its that hot

Alcyone#2233: > AGP 3.0 specifies power from the 3.3V, 5V, and 12V rails. The spec allowed for a maximum of 41.8W (6A from 3.3V, 2A from 5V, 1A from 12V = 41.8W, and an additional 1.24W could come from the 3.3V auxiliary at 0.375A). By adding the four-pin connections, they extended the life of AGP cards as each supplied 6.5A or 110.5W from these right angle connections (12V + 5V or 17V x 6.5A = 110.5W) so 2a on 5v for the agp slot ??? on how much the molex will pull from 5v exquisitedark#1117: yes exquisitedark#1117: it shows up every time i boot up\ Tinybox#9112: @Tech Helper If I had a Board with an M.2 B Key (NVMe) (BOARD: MSI b350 pro-vdh, can I use a B+M Key to mSATA, then a mini PCI-e to A+E key.

Tinybox#9112: Since the stuff comes from the UK and germany Deleted User#0000: Why? Tinybox#9112: o Tinybox#9112: wanted to edit
Tinybox#9112: @Deleted User It's cheaper in this case. Deleted User#0000: I'm sure there's more than that one adapter Deleted User#0000: I only looked at a few Tinybox#9112: I come here after 3 hours of searching. Tinybox#9112: It's basically the cheapest and fastest option in terms of shipping. Deleted User#0000: Took me 10 seconds Deleted User#0000: If you're going to put that thing into a 300mbps pcie card you may as well just buy a pcie WiFi card. Deleted User#0000: Just buy a WiFi card if you don't care about the Bluetooth Deleted User#0000: @Tinybox Tinybox#9112: I only want to be able to jump on the 5G band. And since I already have the AX200NGW, I might as well, since it won't cost me any extra. Deleted User#0000: You can't. Deleted User#0000: Not with that shitty card. Deleted User#0000: That card only does 300mbps. Tinybox#9112: The AX200NGW shitty?
Deleted User#0000: The adapter Deleted User#0000: The pcie one.

Deleted User#0000: Yes Deleted User#0000: Just buy the gigabyte one that geek sent Deleted User#0000: If you want that functionality Tinybox#9112: If the antennas are the problem I can easily replace them with my 5DBi Antenna set, which I can then replace them with. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/672169265129979915/IMG_20200129_205843.jpg Tinybox#9112: The spacing for the screws seem to match up as well, so ill be able to use the bracket too Deleted User#0000: Go for it then Tinybox#9112: Alright then.

Deleted User#0000: okay then since ill be installing games on it. Al Juboori A#6408: Hello & good evening. I have been as of lately been experiencing issues with my audio. My audio input will pick up whatever I hear. i.e. videos or the voice of whom im talking to on discord and play it back through my mic causing an echo. I tried looking at windows settings and discord settings but to no avail. Note that this doesn't only happen on discord. Moreover, playing Pubg.. i can only hear what's in front of me and nothing of what's behind. I tried to reinstall my audio drivers but both issues persisted. I have therefor determined with my technical ineptitude that the issue is with the motherboard's sound card and I'm looking to buy a separate sound card to solve the issue, and for that I need your help finding one that is cheap and does the job. Al Juboori A#6408: My head set is the HyperX Alpha Cloud II Al Juboori A#6408: and my Motherboard is the ASRock z370 pro Al Juboori A#6408: Windows 10 64 DarknessFalls229#2286: tried looking at this setting? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/672494169784188928/unknown.png JustinXenyx#8854: Your Cloud 2s have a seperate USB sound card JustinXenyx#8854: your motherboard has jack shit to do with your headset @Al Juboori A JustinXenyx#8854: oh wait JustinXenyx#8854: Cloud Alphas are not Cloud 2s Al Juboori A#6408: I did look at that @DarknessFalls229 JustinXenyx#8854: I'm pretty sure the cloud alphas still has a usb sound card though DarknessFalls229#2286: yeah, i realized that was not the problem Al Juboori A#6408: @JustinXenyx Let me make sure which is the exact model i have- but anyways i couldn't find the usb sound card the last time i looked DarknessFalls229#2286: have you taken a look at the spatial sound settings?
Al Juboori A#6408: I do not recall getting one i nthe box when i bought it.. about 1.5 years ago JustinXenyx#8854: https://hyperxgaming.com/headsets/cloud-alpha-pro-gaming-headset these are cloud alphas Al Juboori A#6408: that's the one i have JustinXenyx#8854: yeah they don't have a USB sound card, only the Cloud IIs do iirc JustinXenyx#8854: So you have a loopback issue, correct? JustinXenyx#8854: loopback = your speaker signal looping back into your microphone signal Al Juboori A#6408: Yes Al Juboori A#6408: correct Deleted User#0000: @JustinXenyx can I consider my phone dead at this point? It won’t charge although it shows a charging icon, i can’t get it into download or recovery and now it doesn’t turn on at this point TheGeekster#8508: that sounds pretty bricked to me Racey#8574: Prolly fucked bootloader Racey#8574: But I don't know I'm phone tech illiterate Al Juboori A#6408: @JustinXenyx any input on the issue ? JustinXenyx#8854: @Al Juboori A What does it do when you unplug your microphone? JustinXenyx#8854: Like not unplug it from the headset but unplugging the headsets mic cable from your PC
Al Juboori A#6408: no loopback @JustinXenyx JustinXenyx#8854: and with it plugged in, it loops back? Al Juboori A#6408: yes. Al Juboori A#6408: i just tested it Al Juboori A#6408: asked a friend to yell once iplug it out ;o JustinXenyx#8854: Can you record a audio sample of that? Al Juboori A#6408: record what ? basically my friend can hear himself through my mic Al Juboori A#6408: i can see my icon light up green when they speak JustinXenyx#8854: Like play some music via your headphones and record your microphone audio JustinXenyx#8854: I wanna hear how much and at what volume it loops back Al Juboori A#6408: can we shortly enter a voice chat ? if you don't mind JustinXenyx#8854: sure, i'm waiting Deleted User#0000: I'm downloading something and it is 215 MB and at the start it said it's gonna take a hour, is that normal or not? I've changed ISP and while the speedtest has shown that my internet speed is good, I've been rather skeptical when downloading stuff Deleted User#0000: I know this is not really tech but I was wondering maybe one of ya know about internet speed and all that stuff TheGeekster#8508: what internet package are you on? and what internet speed did the test show you?
TheGeekster#8508: when downloading things, it can also be dependant on where you're downloading from, as some websites throttle downloads Deleted User#0000: The internet package is 200 Mb, and this is what I get on the speedtest, I'm downloading Gimp from it's website https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/672555430010028033/asd21.PNG Deleted User#0000: I'm roughly downloading it at 100kb/s, though it sometimes goes around 80-140kb/s tdp2612#3835: whats the website Deleted User#0000: https://www.gimp.org/ tdp2612#3835: theres a good chance its just a dodgy website or something that cucks speed to make you pay for 'premium' / correct speed tdp2612#3835: o Deleted User#0000: Sorry for being vague tdp2612#3835: uhhhhhh your internets being weird then DarknessFalls229#2286: you know that youre still limited to the speed of which the gimp servers can upload their data right? Deleted User#0000: Nope tdp2612#3835: i dont remember gimp downloading slown though TheGeekster#8508: eh, mine seems to be downloading okay TheGeekster#8508: https://gensho.ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/gimp/gimp/v2.10/windows/gimp-2.10.14-setup-3.exe TheGeekster#8508: try that link

tdp2612#3835: ignore the complete mess TheGeekster#8508: that second little been sounds like a posting beep, so, i think it should be okay? really depends what happens if you plug a monitor in tdp2612#3835: yeah it was giving me a post issue, it was saying INSERT BOOT DISC so i guess it needs the os installing first tdp2612#3835: or for me to track down a windows xp cd Deleted User#0000: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/672885464968986659/image0.jpg SanteRaptor#2609: which one of these 3 should push the most air? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/672892837238407180/20200131_215504.jpg SanteRaptor#2609: goddam discord compression SanteRaptor#2609: say if you need a better pic of any of them DarknessFalls229#2286: @SanteRaptor you sure? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/672893211039236107/unknown.png SanteRaptor#2609: What the feck Galilool#3398: Anything but 2 Galilool#3398: @SanteRaptor SanteRaptor#2609: okay SanteRaptor#2609: but which one? Galilool#3398: No idea
Galilool#3398: About that intel cooler though... Just throw it away, that's the only thing it's good for DarknessFalls229#2286: might be both as fast, but i think the foxconn will be more quiet SanteRaptor#2609: sound doesnt really matter SanteRaptor#2609: as this is not a pc project SanteRaptor#2609: also SanteRaptor#2609: should both of these beat the fan i posted on #⌛slow-chat⌛? SanteRaptor#2609: it is rated at 11.0 m3/h beating "mostish" sub 120mm noctua fans SanteRaptor#2609: the job is to just push air trough a 3cm wide tube TheGeekster#8508: @SanteRaptor From the design the everflow should probably give most throughput as it has minimal speed control, and is generally chunkier SanteRaptor#2609: okay SanteRaptor#2609: thank you tdp2612#3835: Best bit is the camera on a kindle looks like it comes from 2006 https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/672933378265448498/JPEG_20200131_223641.jpg tdp2612#3835: Poggers https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/672933690770456581/JPEG_20200131_223810.jpg tdp2612#3835: Ok so the case has an alarm for cpu temps getting too high, nice Xbox 360 1953#2640: should i ddu if i go from amd gpu to amd gpu
TheFifthAce#4128: what are you moving from TheFifthAce#4128: and to what gpu TheFifthAce#4128: if it's gcn to gcn I wouldn't worry about it Xbox 360 1953#2640: r7 370 to r9 390 TheFifthAce#4128: lmao dont bother Xbox 360 1953#2640: so i can shut power off and slap the 390 in? JustinXenyx#8854: yeah TheFifthAce#4128: yeah JustinXenyx#8854: card would be using the same drivers either way TheFifthAce#4128: ^ JustinXenyx#8854: so you'd be just redownloading them Xbox 360 1953#2640: Thanks pep#4304: I built a 2005 era pc and it's not playing games as well as I hoped. Idk if it's just the parts I picked or software TheGeekster#8508: what games? and what specs? @pep pep#4304: Doom 3, hl2. Specs: Pentium 4 3ghz ht, 2gb ram, 256mb GeForce 7800 gtx
tdp2612#3835: @Jam this is your corner too tdp2612#3835: hmmm tdp2612#3835: i mean the 2gb ram might be a bit limiting, and its only 256 rather than like a 320 JustinXenyx#8854: Are you running the games at a resolution from 2005? JustinXenyx#8854: like 1024x768? tdp2612#3835: o ye dont be running 1080p pep#4304: 1024x768 tdp2612#3835: what do you count as 'not good' tdp2612#3835: like 30fps mid settins? pep#4304: I was doing alot of research and it seemed people were getting fps in the hundreds. That only happens in hl2 for me and alot of the time it dips all the way down to the 30s. Doesn't matter if it's on lowest settings tdp2612#3835: i dont think you should be getting hundreds of frames tdp2612#3835: i mean hl2 likes to load in small chunks tdp2612#3835: so there will be a lot of stutters when you move around alot pep#4304: It's dips in areas with alot of clutter or reflections pep#4304: I would've thought that bringing the graphics down would help, but no matter what settings for both games, they still run the same
Jam#0384: Geforce graphics cards are not the best in 2002-2006 Jam#0384: not to mention Pentium 4 is pretty slow for 2005 Jam#0384: If you wanted a high end graphics card you would want at least a higher clocked (2.2+GHz Athlon 64) and yes a 2.2GHz Athlon 64 would beat the P4 by a long shot Jam#0384: 2 cores could help, Athlon X2 or Pentium D (even as P4 the two cores help) Jam#0384: 2GB of RAM is fine Jam#0384: But those specs should have no issue with Half Life 2 or DOOM 3 Jam#0384: I’ve maxed out Doom 3 on a similar system with 50-60FPS easily Jam#0384: P4 3.0GHz HT, 2GB DDR, and a GeForce 7800GS AGP Jam#0384: Don’t expect 100+ fps in games when doing period correct Jam#0384: Except 30-50 max, at best Jam#0384: Sometimes you couldn’t even run it at max until a few generations later Jam#0384: @pep pep#4304: I do have an athlon x2, just gotta get the motherboard back. I had a feeling the P4 was not as good pep#4304: Isn't a single 7800 better than 6800 in sli? That's what I heard from forums at the time JustinXenyx#8854: Given the completely shit track record of multi GPU optimization probably
pep#4304: Also when I bought the 7800, I wasn't sure how well it would run cause I think it's an oem variant. Could that also effect performance? Jam#0384: No Jam#0384: But the 7800 series is comparable to ATi’s 2004 midrange cards Jam#0384: Aka not good when technology gets much better each year at this time Jam#0384: I would honestly have gone with an X1950 Pro because that can run crysis on High preset with a fast enough cpu and the 7800 can only run it on low w/ medium shaders and textures Jam#0384: Or X1900XT or X1800XL or X1900XTX whatever Jam#0384: Any of them would work Jam#0384: Yeah funny thing about 2005 is Intel+Nvidia rigs were worse in terms of perf Jam#0384: In under 2 years that statement was the opposite SuSSudio#2688: Found this pic in my old account photo library, think it was the first time i messed with my 775 rig. it was only a year old from purchase (used from my uncle).

JustinXenyx#8854: also, that case is kinda cringeworthy because it has basically no airflow Alcyone#2233: if a green label cx is the better of the two I kinda feel bad for your main tdp2612#3835: yeah thats a really dull case for a 1070 tdp2612#3835: and my main is a vs 550 *orange* :frobot2: tdp2612#3835: but hey it works, and ive already cable tied it all up PumpKPie#7619: @JustinXenyx i.. should check... should do tho. the case I don't care about rly Alcyone#2233: asus prime or tuf has a better vrm than that msi board as well PumpKPie#7619: the case is gonna be hidden in the pc compartment in my desk anyways.. so I shouldn't give a damn about aestetics PumpKPie#7619: vrm? Alcyone#2233: power delivery JustinXenyx#8854: Then don't give a damn about aesthetics and give a damn about airflow ShidoPixel#4650: Yep JustinXenyx#8854: No airflow means hotter components for no good reason ShidoPixel#4650: Agree PumpKPie#7619: fair enough
PumpKPie#7619: any case recommendations at the same pricepoint? same would be appreciated w/ the mobo tdp2612#3835: find something like mine tdp2612#3835: corsair spec anythings are pretty cheap now tdp2612#3835: just look for something with a grille at the front and preferably 2 intake fans ShidoPixel#4650: @PumpKPie Alcyone#2233: cougar 330 is about the cheapest case with good airflow I think PumpKPie#7619: https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Cases/Mid-Tower-ATX-Cases/spec-alpha-config/p/CC-9011083-WW what about this one? Alcyone#2233: phanteks p300A should be out soon too. $60 with a mesh front and its pretty compact for atx PumpKPie#7619: I rly need to look into that subject PumpKPie#7619: More so that most cases aren't available in my country RandomTacos#3695: Does the Ryzen master utility actually show the correct temps now? Or is it still 20°C off or whatever it was Tinybox#9112: I found the issue to all my WiFi issues, My router is fucky with 802.11ac. Checked router settings, on 5G I can only mix it with 802.11n/ac or ac only. Is there a way to force windows to connect with 802.11n every time?
(This isn't an issue on my INTEL Chips (since that option is in plain view, but on my Atheros ones>I can't find any option like that) TheFifthAce#4128: @Deinsti I need the stripped down version of 8.1 meme but with a browser TheFifthAce#4128: :crome: TheGeekster#8508: @Tinybox Change the SSID so you've got two seperate 2.4ghz and 5ghz networks JustinXenyx#8854: ^ JustinXenyx#8854: Anything is fucky if 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz share the same SSID Tinybox#9112: Thanks guys. I just seperated them, it's still fucky however, I called up one of my friends, and they helped me solve it (thelegend: the guy that gave me that amazing haul) Anything 5G on ac, goes r.i.p... I guess it's new router time soon TheGeekster#8508: don't forget that AC wifi has shite range too exquisitedark#1117: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/674347373622984744/unknown.png exquisitedark#1117: tryna convert fat32 to ntfs exquisitedark#1117: do i even bother running chkdsk again TheGeekster#8508: delete the partition and create a new ntfs partition Tinybox#9112: OCZ deneva 2, 480gb.
30 euros worth it or nah? JustinXenyx#8854: Given that it's OCZ and i have never heard of it i'd guess it is ATLEAST 5 years old JustinXenyx#8854: So: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IiHRSBAMwU JustinXenyx#8854: Guessing that Deneva 2 also has a lot of read/write cycles on it, given that it seems to be an enterprise drive Tinybox#9112: yea prob. Tinybox#9112: Is it worth it though? JustinXenyx#8854: Answer is the same Tinybox#9112: aH JustinXenyx#8854: SSD is gonna fail you in no time Tinybox#9112: ***I didn't see that*** Xbox 360 1953#2640: After replacing the fans on my r9 390 the fan speed only goes up to 1360rpm, doesn't go higher when I change it. Is there something wrong with it? Xbox 360 1953#2640: Even after changing it to max in both Msi afterburner and wattman it stays at that rpm Xbox 360 1953#2640: Wai I just remembered I flicked a weird switch on my gpu Xbox 360 1953#2640: I'm going to look up the manual Xbox 360 1953#2640: Either it's a dual bios thing or a fan curve switch
Lady Mipha#0611: Probably a bios switch Lady Mipha#0611: From gaming mode to low power mode Xbox 360 1953#2640: OK so SuSSudio#2688: I can assure you if it was fan profile switch it could be overridden with AMD OD or MSI Afterburner, from experience with my Cyclone R6850 Xbox 360 1953#2640: I found some damage to the fan cable Xbox 360 1953#2640: Oh the picture is too big gimme a sec Xbox 360 1953#2640: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/96028420848230400/674440787483820032/IMG_20200204_212604.png after putting tape around that my card works fine JustinXenyx#8854: I know that heatpipe layout a bit too well JustinXenyx#8854: R9 390 Nitro? @Xbox 360 1953 JustinXenyx#8854: also, looks like oine of the fan cables got melted Xbox 360 1953#2640: Xfx double dissipation xXSUBEXx#9544: Could it that my Coolermaster gx 750w bronze is failling to power my Gpu (Zotac Geforce Gtx 1070 amp extreme), so it will blackscreen? TheGeekster#8508: Eh, not likely, if a PSU can't supply the power anymore, it'll probably trigger a system reset tdp2612#3835: yeah not really, thats a perfectly usable psu JustinXenyx#8854: It depends
JustinXenyx#8854: While the power supply in itself should be able to provide enough power, it's 10 years old now and will have lost a decent amount of power to aging JustinXenyx#8854: If your power supply is not able to handle the card because it can't simply handle the current draw overcurrent protection might kick in and just shut down the system xXSUBEXx#9544: well then what else could cause the blackscreens while playing Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Blackscreen, as in you can still hear and interact with things, only the screen is dead or a full system restart? xXSUBEXx#9544: audio is still there when it is on the blackscreen JustinXenyx#8854: Hmmm Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Sounds like the GPU. JustinXenyx#8854: Tried a system wipe or using a different windows install? JustinXenyx#8854: Drivers could be messing with you in some way or another xXSUBEXx#9544: the gpu fans got to full also xXSUBEXx#9544: but it isnt overheating JustinXenyx#8854: Maybe the GPU core itself isn't overheating, but something else is? JustinXenyx#8854: Like the GPUs power delivery? xXSUBEXx#9544: most likely the gpu failing but iam no expert xXSUBEXx#9544: when i run the furmark gpu stress test it happens and also occasionaly while playing fivem/gta
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Can you get your hands on a different PSU? xXSUBEXx#9544: i have a made in china one and a big one out of a pc that i suspect is failing because i could smell chemicals smoke TheGeekster#8508: if the gpu fans go to 100% it means it's failed into "oh fuck" mode, try some older drivers for it? if not, then kaput gpu xXSUBEXx#9544: kaput u see ur german haha Charlie Foxtrot#9831: The made in China one, what's the wattage? xXSUBEXx#9544: 429 and hats certainly not enough Charlie Foxtrot#9831: OK, just try older drivers for now. xXSUBEXx#9544: ok xXSUBEXx#9544: how old ? Charlie Foxtrot#9831: What's your current version? xXSUBEXx#9544: i think the newest+ Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Well, blackscreen didn't happen until you update it or? xXSUBEXx#9544: i think about a year back gta only froze Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Try something 3 versions back from your current one. xXSUBEXx#9544: ok
Tinybox#9112: Okay, so,, I can't find my Media creation tool usb.. I can't find my DVD ISO... I don't have any spare USBs... ----- Is it possible for me to use my 1TB external drive to install windows? Well more like "in-place reinstall" Since I want to keep all the files. why am I reinstalling: Windows search is hella broke, I tried everything probably, well everything on this page https://www.windowscentral.com/how-fix-taskbar-search-not-working-windows-10 Charlie Foxtrot#9831: ```Is it possible for me to use my 1TB external drive to install windows? Well more like "in-place reinstall" Since I want to keep all the files.``` Tinybox#9112: (1^)
TheGeekster#8508: unsure if windows media creation tool will let you do it, but there are ways of doing it, i'd look up "boot iso from external hard drive" or "install windows from external hard drive" Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Uh, it's only available when you reinstall inside a preexisting installation. Tinybox#9112: aight thanks ill look it up Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Or if you use the built-in Reset feature. TheGeekster#8508: https://www.trishtech.com/2018/12/how-to-install-windows-10-from-an-external-hard-drive/ Charlie Foxtrot#9831: https://rufus.ie/ Tinybox#9112: alright. Tinybox#9112: The in-built windows reset feature is a meme if I remember... JustinXenyx#8854: Does the system you want to reinstall windows on have UEFI? Tinybox#9112: yea JustinXenyx#8854: If yes, just create a new partition with the windows ISO on it JustinXenyx#8854: the UEFI can tell if a drive has multiple partitions Tinybox#9112: So basically, just install the iso and dump it into the drive? Tinybox#9112: Since the external is empty anyway JustinXenyx#8854: Oh if it's empty just yeet it on there
JustinXenyx#8854: I thought you had like important data on the drive or something Tinybox#9112: nah it's a new seagate expansion blabla usb 3.0 Tinybox#9112: Anyway..how do I um? Tinybox#9112: make rufus install? Tinybox#9112: the iso as well? Tinybox#9112: found it Tinybox#9112: I hope it'll work Tinybox#9112: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/674611431462666250/unknown.png Tinybox#9112: ill install 1809 JustinXenyx#8854: no JustinXenyx#8854: 1809 is getting forced update to 1909 already JustinXenyx#8854: So don't bother JustinXenyx#8854: Just install 1903 or 1909 directly Tinybox#9112: ah well..it's already 13% thru... Tinybox#9112: As long as my search bar works...
TheGeekster#8508: it'll take much longer to upgrade from 1803 to 1909 than it would to just redo it with 1909 lol, trust me, currently on PC 86 in the company updating, it's painful compared to a clean install TheGeekster#8508: (that's WITH downloading 1909 offline onto a local network share) jay1185#0112: lol the iso i had was super old, 12340 or something. only took like an hour to install and update to 1909 Xbox 360 1953#2640: Does this seem alright? my gpu is a bit loud right now and I don't know if that is good or not https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/674681159006945320/unknown.png MythologicalZ#3752: For a 370 it's not good MythologicalZ#3752: When was your last repaste?

Xbox 360 1953#2640: Just fixed it MythologicalZ#3752: If it's a blower it's half feasible Xbox 360 1953#2640: no Xbox 360 1953#2640: two fans on it
MythologicalZ#3752: Which card then?

Xbox 360 1953#2640: before this the fans didnt work so i dunno Xbox 360 1953#2640: I'd repaste again but i don't have any to use JustinXenyx#8854: maybe the fans aren't working properly? JustinXenyx#8854: For like 4k RPM those temps sure look wrong MythologicalZ#3752: Yeah Xbox 360 1953#2640: I don't know MythologicalZ#3752: Money is either on fans going bad or a shoddy repaste Xbox 360 1953#2640: Since the fans are being a bit loud MythologicalZ#3752: Those xfx duals aren't bad coolers MythologicalZ#3752: What case are you using? MythologicalZ#3752: Might be the issue too
Xbox 360 1953#2640: shitty rosewill fbm 01 Xbox 360 1953#2640: only demandingish thing open is fuckin ts4 MythologicalZ#3752: Could be the case blocking airflow but I doubt it's that big of a deal MythologicalZ#3752: Could try pulling the side panel and seeing if there's a difference Xbox 360 1953#2640: i'll see what it does Xbox 360 1953#2640: it's chillin at nearly 60c with ts4 closed Xbox 360 1953#2640: now with ts4 open its at the same temps Xbox 360 1953#2640: I had to tell xbox game bar to fuck off with the recording, that might have been part of the problkem Xbox 360 1953#2640: actually no that fixed nothing, I just forgot that after restarting ts4 i had lowered the settings Xbox 360 1953#2640: after raising them again the gpu is hot again Clode#2428: Is Firefox better than chrome on a potato pc? Jam#0384: Yes Jam#0384: Newish releases of Firefox still work on WinXP JustinXenyx#8854: @Xbox 360 1953 Either TS4 is way more demanding than i'd give it credit for or something is seriously fucked with your R9 390 JustinXenyx#8854: maybe mounting pressure is off?
