scelli#0001: welcome to 2020 sound cards now require 6 pin power https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/681537864777072660/unknown.png

tdp2612#3835: i kind of want one too
scelli#0001: actually
scelli#0001: i can just get a cheap sound card and then machine my own shroud
JustinXenyx#8854: I'd just recommend sticking to proper audio gear lol
JustinXenyx#8854: This PCIe stuff looks fancy but is basically overgrown motherboard audio as far as i understand it
scelli#0001: i know
scelli#0001: i just love filling up my motherboard with random pci cards
scelli#0001: and things like that
scelli#0001: no idea why
scelli#0001: just makes it look more busy

Clode#2428: Should i try to clean it better or is it ok?
Clode#2428: Need help
tdp2612#3835: thats plenty fine
tdp2612#3835: i mean you can read all the text easy |
Clode#2428: Im afraid bc the thermal paste is on the "green thing"
tdp2612#3835: thats fine
Clode#2428: Is it ok?
Clode#2428: Ok thank you so much
MythologicalZ#3752: If it's not on the pads it's fine
tdp2612#3835: i mean clean it up if you want but its not gonna blow up
Clode#2428: Thanks
tdp2612#3835: and yeah as long as the other side is all clean, its no issue
scelli#0001: not too big of a deal if it goes on the pcb, as long as it isnt where the pads are or where pins are on a motherboard it will be just fine
scelli#0001: if ur still in doubt just use some alcohol and a microfibre cloth
Clode#2428: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/681560214289252371/20200224_175944.jpg

Deleted User#0000: 😊
Deleted User#0000: My hobby its the pc build which yours? @tdp2612
DarknessFalls229#2286: His hobby is to figure out what TDP every 2612 available pc parts have, only just to be shut down by @JustinXenyx
tdp2612#3835: :frobot2:
Clode#2428: Is 84 celcius degrees ok on c2q?
DarknessFalls229#2286: not really no
DarknessFalls229#2286: its still safe, but just not recommended
DarknessFalls229#2286: id say keep it below 70
Clode#2428: But ive swapped the thermal paste now
Clode#2428: Wth
DarknessFalls229#2286: what kinda cooler?
Clode#2428: The default one...
Clode#2428: Should i buy another?
DarknessFalls229#2286: what are you using the c2q for?
Clode#2428: Right now im only on the Bios |
Clode#2428: But its stock speed
DarknessFalls229#2286: no i mean what are you going to use it for, as your main pc? only for occasional gaming? for heavy rendering? for 24/7 use?
Clode#2428: Main pc with some soft gaming
DarknessFalls229#2286: Also, is it 84C in the bios?
Clode#2428: Yes
DarknessFalls229#2286: ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooof
DarknessFalls229#2286: check your mounting pressure
Clode#2428: Whats that?
Clode#2428: Im a totally noob
DarknessFalls229#2286: if the cooler is making proper contact with the CPU
DarknessFalls229#2286: the little pins on the stock cooler can be a pain in the butt sometimes
Clode#2428: Shoul i try to push it down?
DarknessFalls229#2286: yes?
Alcyone#2233: make sure the pins are poking through the pcb
Alcyone#2233: ive bent one before and had to futz with it |
DarknessFalls229#2286: and that the black pieces are fully pushed down and in the locked position
Alcyone#2233: ^
Clode#2428: Ok
Clode#2428: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/681583830817046545/20200224_193337.jpg
Clode#2428: I found the problem
DarknessFalls229#2286: push the black piece back out and squish the white pins back together
Clode#2428: Ok
Clode#2428: It isnt working
Clode#2428: Fack
Alcyone#2233: you have to turn the peg 90 degrees before it will pull up. there is probably instructions online, intel been using that cooler mount forever
Clode#2428: Wait what?
thatubuntuguy#5914: he's right
thatubuntuguy#5914: try turning the peg 90 degrees
thatubuntuguy#5914: then pull up
Clode#2428: Ok |
Alcyone#2233: or maybe its the other way and that is to lock it in
Alcyone#2233: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qczGR4KMnY found a simple vid
Clode#2428: Thank you so much
Clode#2428: Shoot
Clode#2428: Ive broke some of the white ones
Alcyone#2233: rip
tdp2612#3835: yeah the clips are bullshit
tdp2612#3835: putting together and installing my 212 evo was way easier than the 'simple' clips
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Who out here still using Winamp? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/681801163208917170/WinAmp.png
KeZz#4943: Replaced my 2 sticks of RAM with 2 new ones. PC started cycling - 1-2 secs on and then 1-2 secs off. Then i took out 1 of the sticks and it booted fine. Is the RAM stick faulty?
KeZz#4943: If any of you smart people know about this, would be appreciated 🙂
Sony PS-FL77#3627: I would swap the ram sticks
Sony PS-FL77#3627: To first check if it may be a faulty slot, could have broken during install
spaztron64#5323: Winamp works well on NT5 systems
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Take a piece of paper and clean the contact pins on the RAM sticks. |
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Yes that too, gently obviously.
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Take a look inside the RAM slots as well, see if there's dirt/mold/pet hair.
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Use a brush to get rid of them, if there's any present.
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Works everytime.
Sony PS-FL77#3627: And check if neither of the ram sticks are OEM specific
Sony PS-FL77#3627: HP likes to lock their shit down sometimes
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Really stupid.
Sony PS-FL77#3627: indeed
spaztron64#5323: This should be illegal.
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Highly!
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Under the geneva convention
tdp2612#3835: i mean how much is it as well
tdp2612#3835: are you going from 4 to 8 gigs or something
Sony PS-FL77#3627: I'd expect something like that
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Or is it like 2 32GB sticks lol |
KeZz#4943: Since I need to use the PC for work, I cant shift things around for another 40 mins. The slot had a 4gb stick in right before that, so I think its fine? Im just upgrading from 1333 two 4gb sticks, to two 1600 8GB sticks.
tdp2612#3835: whats the board
tdp2612#3835: and what was the specs for the old ones
tdp2612#3835: like were they 10600, and the new 12800 etc
tdp2612#3835: even though it *shouldnt* be a problem
KeZz#4943: 10600U
KeZz#4943: Going by the info on the sticker
KeZz#4943: New ones are 12800
KeZz#4943: 1333 mhz is 10600 and 1600 is 12800?
spaztron64#5323: So you had unbuffered memory before?
KeZz#4943: I dont know, all i know is that on one of the sticks, following the 10600 it says U
tdp2612#3835: whats the board anyway
KeZz#4943: h81m-plus ASUStek
KeZz#4943: If that answers the question
tdp2612#3835: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/681841518788739096/unknown.png |
tdp2612#3835: i dont know if that means it wont take bufferred memory
tdp2612#3835: but you said that just sticking one in made it work?
KeZz#4943: Um, so i had two 4gb sticks. One has the U and the other one doesnt. They worked just fine. For 3 years.
KeZz#4943: I just got some 8gb sticks to replace the two. Inserted it. PC started cycling. After removing 1, it works fine. Shows 1600 and 8gb RAM.
tdp2612#3835: and are they matching sticks
KeZz#4943: Not identical manufacturer
KeZz#4943: But the other two 4gb ones werent identical either
tdp2612#3835: if youve tried with stick 1, try with stick 2
tdp2612#3835: if that works, try either stick in the second slot
KeZz#4943: I tried 2, cycling. Tried 1, fine.
tdp2612#3835: just try one of them, but use stick number 2
spaztron64#5323: I have a feeling stick 2 is buffered.
spaztron64#5323: Look up the model.
KeZz#4943: I will do, just need to get to lunch time and then i can open the PC and do that.
KeZz#4943: But initially when i asked the question. I was wondering if its a bad ram stick |
tdp2612#3835: thats why i want you to try each of them individually
KeZz#4943: Ill try 2, if its still cycling. Ill replace the other stick and keep the ''faulty'' one in on its own.
tdp2612#3835: so you know if the stick actually works
KeZz#4943: Ye, fair
KeZz#4943: So i put the other stick in, it cycled. I then switched their positions, and it didnt cycle. But there wasnt an display output coming to the monitor. I then removed the one that was bad, and left the good one in, but in another slot. Still no display. I then moved it to the other slot, and all is fine.
KeZz#4943: Boots. But again, with only 1 stick.
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Blimey
Sony PS-FL77#3627: I'm really curious
Sony PS-FL77#3627: It looks like an issue I once had with an i5 750 build
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Eventually it turned out that one of the sticks was OEM even though they seemed dead similar
KeZz#4943: Think i should exchange them? Do you know how make sure that its not OEM and also buffered/unbuffered?
Sony PS-FL77#3627: I'd suggest posting a few pics
Sony PS-FL77#3627: High quality with especial focus on the lettering

Clode#2428: I cant install this cooler no mater what |
Clode#2428: Need help
DarknessFalls229#2286: hmmm
DarknessFalls229#2286: you broke a lot of pins on that thing
Clode#2428: Yup
DarknessFalls229#2286: perhaps, just perhaps, you should brake the plastic mount off and just ziptie it to your board
DarknessFalls229#2286: or just buy a new cooler
tdp2612#3835: can i recommend
tdp2612#3835: just geta 212 evo
DarknessFalls229#2286: bit much for a Q6600
tdp2612#3835: or any semi decent cooler that screws on
tdp2612#3835: oh nvm then
tdp2612#3835: go on amazon and find something cheap
DarknessFalls229#2286: like even on 1.44v my Q6600 runs below 70c on my zalman coolers
tdp2612#3835: zalmans pretty nice though
Clode#2428: So this one is dead right? |
DarknessFalls229#2286: not really dead
tdp2612#3835: anyway i need to get my 775 cooler replaced, its way too loud
tdp2612#3835: i mean you *could* buy new clips
DarknessFalls229#2286: just unmountable with the current mounting mechanism
tdp2612#3835: id say buy new ones, attach them, and sell the whole thing and get something with screws
DarknessFalls229#2286: you can ask around in your area if someone has a free 775 cooler
Clode#2428: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/681883847067172899/20200225_152551.jpg
Clode#2428: I have also this one
Clode#2428: Is from an dual core pentium
DarknessFalls229#2286: does that one fit?
Clode#2428: I think
DarknessFalls229#2286: like, on the 775 board, or is it for 115x
Clode#2428: Tbh idk
Clode#2428: Im going crazy
DarknessFalls229#2286: just put it on top of your motherboard and SEE if the holes match up with the pins |
Clode#2428: Ok
DarknessFalls229#2286: IF it fits, try around a little bit with the mounting mechanism before actually putting it on the cpu
Clode#2428: They seem to fit but the plastic thing doesnt enter
DarknessFalls229#2286: > try around a little bit with the mounting mechanism before actually putting it on the cpu
Clode#2428: Ok
Clode#2428: It fits
Clode#2428: But its kinda off
DarknessFalls229#2286: wdym 'kinda off'?
Clode#2428: Theres a side that kinda goes down
DarknessFalls229#2286: ?
Clode#2428: Forget it
Clode#2428: But whats the easy way to install?
DarknessFalls229#2286: in an X pattern
DarknessFalls229#2286: like, first upper left, then lower right and then the other two
Clode#2428: Ok |
Clode#2428: I tried to take the motherboard out but theres a screw thats stuck
Clode#2428: Like really stuck
DarknessFalls229#2286: use a screwdriver thats not too pointy and not too blunt
Clode#2428: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/681886538123968512/20200225_153636.jpg
DarknessFalls229#2286: oh christ
Clode#2428: Do you think i still can get it out?
DarknessFalls229#2286: uuuuuuh
DarknessFalls229#2286: perhaps with some lubricant and a loooooooot of downforce
tdp2612#3835: get the biggest screwdriver you have
tdp2612#3835: and push really fucking hard
Clode#2428: I tried that
tdp2612#3835: and remember that if you slip its gonna hurt
tdp2612#3835: get a bigger screwdriver then
Clode#2428: It didnt move
TheFifthAce#4128: get a hex wrench lmao |
DarknessFalls229#2286: have you.. tried using a hex driver?
tdp2612#3835: oh yeah that too
Clode#2428: Whats a hex driver?
TheFifthAce#4128: see how the outside of the screw is a hexagon
TheFifthAce#4128: get something that fits that outside so you can turn it
tdp2612#3835: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/681886997627142154/1516447798760_7mm.png
tdp2612#3835: like that
Clode#2428: Ooooooooooh
Clode#2428: Good idea
tdp2612#3835: i have a couple but i cant magically send you them
Clode#2428: I think i have one
TheFifthAce#4128: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/681887144146370599/unknown.png
TheFifthAce#4128: or one of these fuckers
Clode#2428: Ok
Clode#2428: And what about the cooler? |
Clode#2428: Should i buy a 212 evo?
DarknessFalls229#2286: fiddle around with it ehwn you get it out, youll have a better understanding of the situation
DarknessFalls229#2286: any cheap cooler would do for 775, unless youre going to overclock
Clode#2428: Im also thinking ab oc
Clode#2428: Yeah i was thinking ab an oc
DarknessFalls229#2286: what board you got?
Clode#2428: Is there some cheap one with screws?
Clode#2428: Board or socket?
DarknessFalls229#2286: ...
DarknessFalls229#2286: board does equal board yes
tdp2612#3835: :frobotmoment:
Clode#2428: :JellyBeanFace:
TheFifthAce#4128: 212 sucks big cock
tdp2612#3835: no u
TheFifthAce#4128: mounting sucks |
TheFifthAce#4128: cooling sucks for how big it is
tdp2612#3835: mine was fine
tdp2612#3835: eh i have a big case its fine
tdp2612#3835: its easier than water cooling
TheFifthAce#4128: no
tdp2612#3835: yes
Clode#2428: If i show a photo of the motherboard can https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/681888753291493413/20200225_154520.jpg
Clode#2428: Where is the name
JustinXenyx#8854: P5K-E/Wifi-AP
JustinXenyx#8854: Right on the white sticker
DarknessFalls229#2286: black on white: P5K-E/WIFI AP
Clode#2428: Ok
Clode#2428: So
DarknessFalls229#2286: tf is that PSU though?
DarknessFalls229#2286: have ya planted a bomb? |
Clode#2428: Idk dont judge me
JustinXenyx#8854: yeah it's a bomb alright
JustinXenyx#8854: LC-Power only really makes low quality garbo PSUs
DarknessFalls229#2286: 364watt rated for 12v yet rated 600 watt PSU
Clode#2428: Bomb has been planted
Clode#2428: Terrorist win
DarknessFalls229#2286: board is half decent though
Clode#2428: Is the PSU that bad?
DarknessFalls229#2286: half decent 8 phase of power delivery
DarknessFalls229#2286: yesn't
DarknessFalls229#2286: like, 350 watt probably is enough, but for its shady rating its pretty bad
JustinXenyx#8854: Yeah it's pretty trashy
Clode#2428: Humm
JustinXenyx#8854: a VS450 would be better and those are rather cheap to be fair
JustinXenyx#8854: like 35€ or so |
Clode#2428: I have another one
DarknessFalls229#2286: is it another no name PoS?
TheFifthAce#4128: I can find a used psu thats better
TheFifthAce#4128: uwupip
Clode#2428: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/681889820770959503/20200225_154936.jpg
Clode#2428: Ia this one better?
TheFifthAce#4128: no
Clode#2428: So what cooler should i buy for an oc on this garbo?
DarknessFalls229#2286: doesnt seem like it
TheFifthAce#4128: I wouldnt OC ata ll
TheFifthAce#4128: multiple 12vs on shitty psus means ez failure when stressing 12v
TheFifthAce#4128: multi 12v is fine on higher end
DarknessFalls229#2286: @JustinXenyx know of any cheap good 775 cooler that have a capability of OC'ing?
JustinXenyx#8854: Try arctic coolers @DarknessFalls229
JustinXenyx#8854: those are relatively cheap and provide decent OC capabilities for 775 |
DarknessFalls229#2286: @ clode then
Clode#2428: Humm
Clode#2428: They all have that plastic shit
Clode#2428: Isnt there any with screws?
JustinXenyx#8854: Freezer 12 is screw-on
Clode#2428: Ok thank you very much
KeZz#4943: Do you guys know if I need anything special for these sticks?
KeZz#4943: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/682272220256796701/IMG_20200226_170551.jpg
KeZz#4943: I've got 2, reading as 8GB ram by PC. But these are dual channel sticks of 4x2?
KeZz#4943: If my pc ain't showing it as 16, then are there fixes?
KeZz#4943: So if my motherboard is dual channel, does that mean that it can take dual channel, or how to I activate dual channel? Or do these sticks mean they are quad channel together? I'm lost xD
TheFifthAce#4128: ?
wym
TheFifthAce#4128: you have 8gb ram showing as 8gb ram
TheFifthAce#4128: whats the problem |
TheFifthAce#4128: dual channel is bandwidth, not capacity
TheFifthAce#4128: you have 8gb ram, it will never magically become 16gb ram
TheFifthAce#4128: @KeZz
TheGeekster#8508: that is the worst model number i've seen in a while, really does insinuate that it's an 8GB module, but yeah they're only 4gb modules each
tdp2612#3835: yeah thats scummy
tdp2612#3835: but all the 8 means is that they were sold in packs of 4x2, so the pack would say 8 on the front
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Yep
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Fucking terrible design
MythologicalZ#3752: How??
MythologicalZ#3752: Take a second and read the label and it'll state
TheGeekster#8508: F2-12800CL9D-8GBXL... that... to me sounds like 8gb
Budget#8265: Its scummt but thats just a 4GB Stick sold in a dual pack
MythologicalZ#3752: https://www.gskill.com/search?keywords=f3-12800cl9d-8gbxl
MythologicalZ#3752: First thing on the page
MythologicalZ#3752: 2 sticks |
tdp2612#3835: what tossers
tdp2612#3835: hopefully this guy didnt buy them thinking it had 2 sticks in one :frobotmoment:
MythologicalZ#3752: :Mainman:
MythologicalZ#3752: Imo
MythologicalZ#3752: It's on you for not googling
Abe.#3344: Opinions on £700 build for Minecraft and Overwatch (for a friend) https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/obliveater95/saved/Z8dQqs
spaztron64#5323: Unless futureproofing was also intentional, ain't this a bit overkill?
tdp2612#3835: wut
tdp2612#3835: yeet that hard drive out, if youre spending £700 you should at least be looking at 2tb
tdp2612#3835: maybe even 4
tdp2612#3835: also a better power supply, they arent exactly great
Abe.#3344: I am trying to future proof a bit, and can the upgrades fit in £700?
tdp2612#3835: the board seems a little expensive but cant really complain, the top 3 is all solid
Abe.#3344: The dude likes his RGB
tdp2612#3835: find a used case or something local to you, use the money saved there and put that towards a psu primarily |
Abe.#3344: He wants all new tho
tdp2612#3835: the ram is nice but if you found some at 3000 thats a decent bit cheaper, get that and overclock it
tdp2612#3835: just tell him its new old stock
Abe.#3344: Lmao
tdp2612#3835: infact clicking on it
tdp2612#3835: > The dude likes his RGB
@Abe.
tdp2612#3835: and youre getting a case with no window
Abe.#3344: Shit
tdp2612#3835: thats a shit case now im looking at the pics
Abe.#3344: Knew I missed something

TheFifthAce#4128: @Abe. yeet the hard drive out and get a 500gb ssd with dram
Abe.#3344: Yes sir |
TheFifthAce#4128: also br sucks shit
TheFifthAce#4128: system power 9 is a pound more and a much better psu
Abe.#3344: Yeah, but I thought more storage woul be better
TheFifthAce#4128: nah
TheFifthAce#4128: I'm a data hoarder and even I don't use that much of my storage
Abe.#3344: Never heard of system power 9
TheFifthAce#4128: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/682338411792957451/unknown.png
TheFifthAce#4128: be quiet
TheFifthAce#4128: system power 9
tdp2612#3835: you wont like mine then lul
tdp2612#3835: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/sXmV27
Abe.#3344: Oh be quiet lmao
tdp2612#3835: oh god nvm
TheFifthAce#4128: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/9JzmNq
tdp2612#3835: i just saw i picked a 5400 |
TheFifthAce#4128: also change the storage config lemme fix that'
TheFifthAce#4128: also that ram is expensive
Abe.#3344: 5400...
TheFifthAce#4128: 4tb 5400 is faster than 1tb 7200
tdp2612#3835: nah i found the ram seemed reasonable
TheFifthAce#4128: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/DKJFmg
tdp2612#3835: i was looking at 3000 stuff and it was similar prices
tdp2612#3835: remember change the case
TheFifthAce#4128: you change the case
TheFifthAce#4128: I'm lazy
tdp2612#3835: get a cheaper case and youve got another 10/20 to play around with
TheFifthAce#4128: I fixed what was wrong
Abe.#3344: Thanks!
tdp2612#3835: well yeah but you could fix it *more*
TheFifthAce#4128: if you get another 20 to play with you could bump the storage to 1tb ssd |
Xbox 360 1953#2640: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/VQ3fx6 hows this?
tdp2612#3835: give it a 1tb ssd :frobotmoment:
TheFifthAce#4128: x3 sunbow is kinda hinge at higher capacities
Xbox 360 1953#2640: dropped it down to 2600 but 1tb ssd and mx330-g
Xbox 360 1953#2640: ah
TheFifthAce#4128: but it's sm2258 with a dram cache
TheFifthAce#4128: so its fine
TheFifthAce#4128: basically an l5 lite 3d anyways
tdp2612#3835: eh i mean thatll be good for a long time
TheFifthAce#4128: just with worse sequentials which you wont notice anyways with shitty UK wifi
tdp2612#3835: id still say put in a hard drive though, but thats just me liking to hoard stuff
TheFifthAce#4128: 1tb ssd is more than enough
tdp2612#3835: for a while at least
tdp2612#3835: you wont be installing many 100gb games though
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Yeah but you should be a bit efficient with deleting what you don't *need* |
Xbox 360 1953#2640: @TheFifthAce what psu would you recommend for a smaller budget in the us?
Xbox 360 1953#2640: is the evga bt any good?
tdp2612#3835: i use my storage well https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/682339927974871120/unknown.png
tdp2612#3835: i dont really know why theyre so full, i could probably clear a hundred gig no problem
Xbox 360 1953#2640: me 2 https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/682340025186123806/unknown.png
TheFifthAce#4128: @Xbox 360 1953 BT is the ONLY low end EVGA I would trust and its STILL shit
Xbox 360 1953#2640: nice
TheFifthAce#4128: antec makes good psus
TheFifthAce#4128: seasonic
TheFifthAce#4128: delta
TheFifthAce#4128: fsp
TheFifthAce#4128: spi
Xbox 360 1953#2640: thanks
Jam#0384: Seasonic is overrated
TheFifthAce#4128: shut mouth |
Jam#0384: Really not good on the low end
Jam#0384: Good at high end
TheFifthAce#4128: if it's bronze rated its good
Jam#0384: Not really
TheFifthAce#4128: anything below that is sketch with seasonic
Jam#0384: They have some shit
TheFifthAce#4128: s12ii is admittedly not great
Jam#0384: Yeah
TheFifthAce#4128: but they arent absolutely shit like low end evga
Jam#0384: Yes
TheFifthAce#4128: I would prefer ANY seasonic over a low end evga
Jam#0384: The Uh
Jam#0384: bitfenix psus are unironically great
Jam#0384: And Be Quiet!
TheFifthAce#4128: bitfenix are amazing but tend to be out of stock in usa |
TheFifthAce#4128: bitfenix whisper m
TheFifthAce#4128: god tier
Jam#0384: Corsair is hit or miss, shit low end
Jam#0384: Corsair is basically the same as Seasonic
tdp2612#3835: oi
TheFifthAce#4128: nahh
TheFifthAce#4128: I'd still trust a sketchy seasonic
TheFifthAce#4128: I don't trust any sketchy corsair
tdp2612#3835: **oi**
Jam#0384: Seasonic > Corsair but
Jam#0384: I mean like
tdp2612#3835: i like my ~~bomb~~ orange vs550
Jam#0384: It falls closely in line with Seasonic
TheFifthAce#4128: die
Jam#0384: drop off at low end is worse though |
TheFifthAce#4128: orange vs bad
Jam#0384: I have a CS650M green label
TheFifthAce#4128: gross
Jam#0384: From 2015
tdp2612#3835: ive had no problem with a year running this setup
TheFifthAce#4128: well yeah you draw like 200w
TheFifthAce#4128: on a 550w
tdp2612#3835: ive got a cx600 from 2017
tdp2612#3835: i mean a 970 isnt *that* power efficient
Jam#0384: My CS650M has been through hell
Jam#0384: Even a 780ti and 4770k
TheFifthAce#4128: 970 is what like 150?
Jam#0384: Its just vibing now with the 1080 and 3700x
tdp2612#3835: thats pretty heavy
Jam#0384: works fine |
tdp2612#3835: i thought it was more like 250 tbh
Jam#0384: No lmao
Jam#0384: 980 isnt even 250
tdp2612#3835: woop woop
tdp2612#3835: still though
tdp2612#3835: its not blown up even if its only running 300w at complete peak
Jam#0384: I need another good solid psu
Jam#0384: Tempted to get shit tier thermaltake smart
Jam#0384: Just because
Jam#0384: I need wattage
KeZz#4943: @tdp2612 Hey, I went to cex right after. Yeah, I got two sticks. But they gave them to me replacing two 8gb sticks. I got a refund. But that was annoying XD (In regards to that ram thing I posted way before)
tdp2612#3835: hmm
tdp2612#3835: thats definitely a bit odd then
JustinXenyx#8854: So CeX probably fucked up while reading the stick labels
JustinXenyx#8854: Probably got traded and tested as 8GB and then put into the system as 16 because some cuck didn't read the label fully/didn't use google |
Sony PS-FL77#3627: So like when overclocking beyond a certain point my CPUs always get stuck at 100%
Is that normal or am I royally fucking something up?
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Cause I had an i5 750 (2.66 stock) clocked at 4.2Ghz and speedstep wouldn't work on that either
TheGeekster#8508: 100% usage? or 100% fixed clock speed?
Sony PS-FL77#3627: 100% clock speed my apologies
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Currently at a 12% overclock running 4C 4T @3.58
Sony PS-FL77#3627: And I am curious as to why my clock speed is variable up until 10% but pegged at 100% at 12%
Sony PS-FL77#3627: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/682635958746611757/20200227_181129.jpg
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Basically this
"Cobs"#1150: What voltage?
Sony PS-FL77#3627: 1.5v
JustinXenyx#8854: Jesus that is much
JustinXenyx#8854: Especially for that shit board you have
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Welcome to 3 core CPUs
JustinXenyx#8854: Nah that's the result of the CPU Unlocking |
JustinXenyx#8854: shit was disabled for a reason, stuff usually was unstable as hell and barely clocked above stock n shit
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Honestly if I burn this entire PC I won't shed a tear
This is mostly just me having a go at pushing hardware to the limit
Sony PS-FL77#3627: This thing runs completely stable at 10%
Sony PS-FL77#3627: With everything working as it should 4 cores unlocked
Sony PS-FL77#3627: So I'm obviously trying to push it further for no apparent reason
Sony PS-FL77#3627: One reboot later an CPU clock is still pegged at 100
Sony PS-FL77#3627: I don't need to know whether what I'm doing is smart or not
I know it isn't
I just wanna know if I can help this static clock somehow
"Cobs"#1150: Try giving it a tiny bit more voltage
"Cobs"#1150: What’s it currently at?
"Cobs"#1150: Oh 1.5
"Cobs"#1150: That seems a wee high but I dunno much about the Athlon side unfortunately i
"Cobs"#1150: You sure 1.5 isn’t your mem voltage? |
JustinXenyx#8854: nah that's his CPU voltage, i believe it with those Am3 chips lol
"Cobs"#1150: Damn that’s high
JustinXenyx#8854: Thing is cobs, given the fact he unlocked the 4th core and the L3 cache he basically kicked any major OC capabilities into the trash
"Cobs"#1150: Ah so it could be that one core sending it wonky then
Sony PS-FL77#3627: L3 cache is non existent according to CPU-z
Sony PS-FL77#3627: But that may be CPUz fucking up due to the unlocked CPU
JustinXenyx#8854: Given that it says it's a Phenom II X4 B50 it more than likely unlocked the L3 cache
"Cobs"#1150: Does hwinfo64 see any?
Sony PS-FL77#3627: I'll try that after this R20 run
Sony PS-FL77#3627: LMAO
Sony PS-FL77#3627: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/682640377072844877/20200227_182902.jpg
"Cobs"#1150: Your probs better off with r15 on that
Sony PS-FL77#3627: R20 crashed
JustinXenyx#8854: Honestly, given the fucky nature with unlocking CPUs i'd really say that may come down on the fact that the specs don't match with what the CPU should be and therefore misreadings occur
Sony PS-FL77#3627: What am I obviously fucking up here? (I'm relatively new to overclocking) https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/682640700050767892/20200227_182959.jpg |
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Dropping my overclock to 11% btw
Sony PS-FL77#3627: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/682640915403243559/20200227_183111.jpg
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Also fun fact about unlocked chips
Sony PS-FL77#3627: They don't get *any* temperature reading
Sony PS-FL77#3627: At 11% everyone runs smoothly with variable clocks and all
Alcyone#2233: if you are using bclk the mem might not be able to take the increased speeds
Alcyone#2233: using the 1333 strap at 240 fsb will give an even 1600mhz, or just run 200 if the multiplier is unlocked
TheGeekster#8508: I feel like no temperature reading is like, critical death 😩
Sony PS-FL77#3627: @Alcyone currently got the overclock at 11%
Which is 3.56Ghz or thereabouts
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Which seems to be the max I can get out of this setup
Alcyone#2233: is the multiplier unlocked?
Sony PS-FL77#3627: I-
Uhm
Sony PS-FL77#3627: I'm uncertain xD |
Sony PS-FL77#3627: The info on those two screenshots is basically all I know for sure
Sony PS-FL77#3627: That and that my motherboards is an Asrock N68-S3 UCC
Alcyone#2233: try setting bclk/fsb to 200 and multiplier to 18, see if it boots
Alcyone#2233: 1800+ might be too much for the ram causing the instability
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Well there's no instability at all
Sony PS-FL77#3627: In fact currently it's running completely smoothly
Alcyone#2233: when you try and go faster
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Ah, thank you!
Alcyone#2233: if its multi unlocked leaving fsb at 200 and only using the multi will be best
Alcyone#2233: but if its not you will have to lower the memory divider (speed) as you increase the bclk/fsb
Alcyone#2233: and possibly increase the northbridge voltage
Sony PS-FL77#3627: I don't think it is because previously I've had it at baseclock 200 and multiplier x16 and the clock speed was stuck at stock 3.2
Alcyone#2233: yeah
Alcyone#2233: try setting 200x18 and see if it boots at 3.6
Sony PS-FL77#3627: So I shall |
Alcyone#2233: if its multi unlocked it will run 200x16 even with a higher multi set. You know what just tell me what the og cpu is
Sony PS-FL77#3627: It's the one in my username
Athlon II x3 450
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Apologies for my somewhat spotty knowledge
Sony PS-FL77#3627: I'm very new to overclocking
This being the second CPU I've ever experimented with
JustinXenyx#8854: unlocked to be a Phenom II X4 B50*
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Yes
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Also
There's no L3 cache listed anywhere
Alcyone#2233: it is not multi unlocked
Sony PS-FL77#3627: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K10/AMD-Athlon%20II%20X3%20450%20-%20ADX450WFK32GM%20(ADX450WFGMBOX).html
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Yeah I just found out
Sony PS-FL77#3627: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/682651462199017478/Screenshot_20200227-191252_Chrome.jpg
Дебильчик#7990: wouldn't unlocking your phenom possibly worsen your oc results |
Alcyone#2233: so you have to just use fsb, unless the core unlock unlocked the multiplier as well
Дебильчик#7990: since those cores are malfunctioning or otherwise underperforming ones
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Nope multiplier maxed at 16
Sony PS-FL77#3627: @Дебильчик this is completely true
Sony PS-FL77#3627: But the test is to see how far I can push it with 4 cores active
Alcyone#2233: what cooler do you have?
TheGeekster#8508: *this is a power run tho with the boost turned up to 12*
Sony PS-FL77#3627: For fun basically
JustinXenyx#8854: Yes, unlocking his athlon does kick his OC capabilities into the trash @Дебильчик
Sony PS-FL77#3627: @Alcyone an ancient unknown coolermaster heatsink with scrappy thermal paste and a random fan strapped to the top of it
Sony PS-FL77#3627: A fully professional setup
Alcyone#2233: is it like a 120mm tower cooler?
Sony PS-FL77#3627: You know like
Intel stock coolers?
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Imagine than but on an AM3 |
Alcyone#2233: no heatpipes?
TheGeekster#8508: Oh fuck me, one of these? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/682652005206065186/s-l300.png
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Nope
JustinXenyx#8854: Similar to that i think @TheGeekster
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Basically @TheGeekster but I put a new fan on it
Sony PS-FL77#3627: I'll try to find a pic
TheGeekster#8508: oh god i love it
Alcyone#2233: your temps are probably bad with 4 cores at 1.5v
TheGeekster#8508: make popcorn
Sony PS-FL77#3627: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/682652221745397764/20200219_211959.jpg
Alcyone#2233: my 955 hit 60-65c using a deepcool s40 at 1.55v
TheGeekster#8508: i hate everything about it, do it, boost it
Sony PS-FL77#3627: @Alcyone since I can't push the OC beyond 11% I'm gonna try to see if I can get 11% with a lower voltage
TheGeekster#8508: particularly like the duct taped hard drive
Alcyone#2233: well you could try 240 fsb, 16 multi, use 1333 ram strap |
Sony PS-FL77#3627: @TheGeekster oh yeah that's still in there
Alcyone#2233: that will be like 3.8 ghz
JustinXenyx#8854: that hdd is probably just for weight, it's a shitty IDE drive lol
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Now that picture is with my previous MB
Sony PS-FL77#3627: @JustinXenyx nope it's Sata
Sony PS-FL77#3627: 5400rpm sata 1tb
TheGeekster#8508: This is essentially buying an old banger and ragging it around the racetrack
Alcyone#2233: cpu/nb and ht clocks divider might need lowered as well
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Yes!
Alcyone#2233: but you want those as high as you can get it stable too
Sony PS-FL77#3627: The motherboard in that pic is an M4A785T-M
Alcyone#2233: as close to 3000 on both as you can get, I think mine did like 2800 cpunb and 2200 ht at reasonable volts
Sony PS-FL77#3627: A way better MB
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Buuuut that motherboard doed

Alcyone#2233: nb and ht multiplier are as high as they will go already?
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Yep
Sony PS-FL77#3627: I have a distinct feeling 1.3v isn't enough
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Yep
Alcyone#2233: well bclk will push them higher. id try lowering the mem multi and increasing the fsb
Sony PS-FL77#3627: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/682653581173850181/20200227_192130.jpg
spaztron64#5323: "We'll restart for you"
Alcyone#2233: probably not, mine needed like 1.35v? for 3.7
spaztron64#5323: God that's so annoying.
spaztron64#5323: And it's been annoying since NT 3.1
Alcyone#2233: and that was a black edition quad |
Alcyone#2233: you can just mash the reset button when it bsods, its just collecting error logs for windows
Sony PS-FL77#3627: I love the reset button
Sony PS-FL77#3627: @TheGeekster also thank you for like
Perfectly explaining what it is I'm attempting with this beater xD
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Automatic repair?
Reset button
BSOD?
Reset button
Windows 10 doing literally anything? (excluding updates cause I don't wanna brick it)
Reset button
Sony PS-FL77#3627: 1.4v still crashed
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Seems I'm going back to 1.5 lol
Alcyone#2233: even if you cant oc more 10% oc and 25% more cores isnt too bad for free
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Oh defo!
Sony PS-FL77#3627: I'm so surprised I even got this far |
Sony PS-FL77#3627: On a €5 CPU
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Fun fact
My MB has no working IO
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Oh
On further inspection
That pic IS my current MB
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Nice
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Right
Sony PS-FL77#3627: So
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Cinebench R20 keeps shitting itself at 11%
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Which is odd cause I got it through at 11 earlier
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Aaaand it crashed
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Like
Complete PC shut down
Sony PS-FL77#3627: As if the PSU killed itself |
Sony PS-FL77#3627: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/682665152419725333/20200227_200728.jpg
Sony PS-FL77#3627: If this is correct then I know why lol
TheGeekster#8508: *christ* yeah that's a thermal shutdown capn'
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Peculiar @TheGeekster
How the bios shows correct temp
But in the OS there's *no temp*
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Right
I got it running stable at 1.475v
With an 11% OC
Sony PS-FL77#3627: @Alcyone are you proud of me xD
Sony PS-FL77#3627: OH FUCK
Sony PS-FL77#3627: The 4th core wasn't unlocked :v
TheGeekster#8508: 🤔 wonder if it'll get a better score without the 4th core
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Probably but I want my core back
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Uhm |
Sony PS-FL77#3627: This is issues
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Okay nope got it working
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Got my 4th core back
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Phew
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Right I'm gonna try 11% with 4 cores and then see if I can go higher with 3 cores
And let's see which r20 score will be higher
Sony PS-FL77#3627: 3 cores ??% vs 4 cores 11%
Sony PS-FL77#3627: AH FUCK
Sony PS-FL77#3627: R20 crashes at 11%
Sony PS-FL77#3627: But I previously completed an 11% run and got a score of 654
JustinXenyx#8854: probably means it isn't that stable then
Sony PS-FL77#3627: I'm gonna keep pushing
Sony PS-FL77#3627: I put the NB back on auto
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Right I said it back to my original settings with which I got a score of 654
Sony PS-FL77#3627: You ever seen someone fight this hard to get a score of fucking *650* |
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Holy shit
Sony PS-FL77#3627: I think I'm actually gonna make it
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Will I get through a full run of R20?!
Sony PS-FL77#3627: YES
Sony PS-FL77#3627: But it topped out at 631
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Right
Close background tasks and retry
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Lmao
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Got a score of 608
The thermal throttle is real
Jam#0384: Ellie|Ath II X3-450(4C)|GTX750TI alone in chat moment
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Yeah I'm just documenting my experiences
Jam#0384: its ok i just talk to myself alone all day
Jam#0384: we've been there
Sony PS-FL77#3627: The CPU seems stable once it's been running for a while |
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Like
If you run R20 straight after start up you can expect a crash
Jam#0384: do AIDA64
Jam#0384: lol
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Nah
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Ended up just dropping it down to 10% to.play it safe

xXSUBEXx#9544: What audio port is that?
xXSUBEXx#9544: I have a tape machine that only outputs "midi" style signal
Sony PS-FL77#3627: @xXSUBEXx it looks like some sort of din
xXSUBEXx#9544: the radio is from 1956/57
xXSUBEXx#9544: https://www.radiomuseum.org/r/telefunken_concertino_7.html
xXSUBEXx#9544: thats a website about it but doesnt mention the audio input sadly
Sony PS-FL77#3627: It honestly looks like din 2-pin
Sony PS-FL77#3627: But as if it's made to go in both ways |
Sony PS-FL77#3627: I have a few din 2-pin connectors

tdp2612#3835: Corsair Spec 01, got an intake fan on the front, and an exhaust on the back
tdp2612#3835: I dont have water cooling so I want to use the 240mm rad mount to put two 120mm fans
tdp2612#3835: Should I have both blowing out, both in, or 1 in 1 out?
TheGeekster#8508: is the rad mount ontop of the case? |
TheGeekster#8508: you generally want a positive air pressure on the case so it'll only suck air in through filters, don't bother mounting one in and one out, they'll just fight eachother, best to have them both going one way
TheGeekster#8508: both in @tdp2612
tdp2612#3835: thanks for the advice
tdp2612#3835: however I think I'll unplug at least one for now, theyre a bit loud for me
tdp2612#3835: not loud loud, but audibly louder than it was before
tdp2612#3835: admittedly I added 3 new fans so thats to be expected but hey

mish#5687: how do i squeeze even more power out of the ryzem
JustinXenyx#8854: Given that you are on a Laptop you probably are reaching the limit already @mish
JustinXenyx#8854: The R3 2200U is just a Athlon 200GE, you can't get much better than a stock 200GE on a laptop
mish#5687: whats the absolute limit |
mish#5687: i wanna know it
JustinXenyx#8854: I'd say laptop dependant
mish#5687: for the yoga 530 14arr
tdp2612#3835: yikes
tdp2612#3835: no name
mish#5687: i wanna replicate chernobyl on the go so bad
TheGeekster#8508: you can't, laptops genuinely protect themselves from overheating, over powering, etc, if you've cranked it as high as it'll let you, then that's as high as you can do
TheGeekster#8508: it'll just reduce it's life to try and overclock a laptop (heat, battery drain, etc)
kittycat959#2895: @mish have you tried replacing the thermal paste?
kittycat959#2895: normally laptop makers use too little and bad quality paste
kittycat959#2895: if you replace it yourself you should see an improvement
CaptainFlanger#2563: Imagine replacing the stock factory paste with a Kyronaut.
kittycat959#2895: lmao
CaptainFlanger#2563: Idk, I do really want to do that with my X412FL, but to no avail.
kittycat959#2895: i run my laptop at 800mhz most of the time |
CaptainFlanger#2563: On battery?
kittycat959#2895: yeah
kittycat959#2895: its just gotta run google docs
CaptainFlanger#2563: Makes sense, didn't use that much power.
kittycat959#2895: its an 8350u
CaptainFlanger#2563: 😮
CaptainFlanger#2563: i7?
kittycat959#2895: wrote it wrong
CaptainFlanger#2563: Oh, the i5.
kittycat959#2895: boosts to 3.8ghz all core tho
CaptainFlanger#2563: Mine's 3.9, if thermals allow.
kittycat959#2895: nice
CaptainFlanger#2563: But, start to run intensive apps, clockspeed tanks. Hard.
kittycat959#2895: mine normally keeps it there
CaptainFlanger#2563: cool |
kittycat959#2895: but its got no gpu to deal with
kittycat959#2895: just the cpu
CaptainFlanger#2563: Makes sense, again. I have a dreadful MX250.
kittycat959#2895: souped up 1030?
CaptainFlanger#2563: Eh, almost.
CaptainFlanger#2563: It *is* in fact a GP108.
kittycat959#2895: nice
JustinXenyx#8854: specs match a 1030 tho, except that the mobile one is clocked higher?
CaptainFlanger#2563: Yeah, but never got that kind of performance here, thermals seem to make it sad.
CaptainFlanger#2563: Either thermal or power limited, not sure what.
CaptainFlanger#2563: But hey, it's nice to have a mobile variant of a 1030, at least I can emulate PSP or something at high res.
JustinXenyx#8854: I'd say power limited, but otherwise it should work nicely
CaptainFlanger#2563: Yeah.
TheFifthAce#4128: @CaptainFlanger I run my laptop at a maximum of 3w
TheFifthAce#4128: :uwuPip: |

Charlie Foxtrot#9831: @Artucuno Don't need any fancy boards, IIRC from G31 onwards but don't quote me on that.
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Also you need to reflash your BIOS. It seems to be corrupted.
tdp2612#3835: yeah literally any non oem 775 board will do that basically

Nomad_00#9361: I have been having trouble with ripping windows 95 into an iso file before I get into it is it actually possable cause I tried a lot of things
PancakePuppy#6969: Why rip it instead of download it?
Nomad_00#9361: Into a bootable iso file?
SanteRaptor#2609: umm does anyone here know about electric engines?
Nomad_00#9361: Not really
PancakePuppy#6969: How do you mean "electric engines"
PancakePuppy#6969: Also Nomad, do you mean you want to turn a '95 *install* into a bootable ISO?
SanteRaptor#2609: electric bike engines
Nomad_00#9361: Yes my bad for not working it correctly
PancakePuppy#6969: Like a '95 liveCD?
Nomad_00#9361: Yes
PancakePuppy#6969: Ohhhh boy

PancakePuppy#6969: Yeah me too, but I have machines dedicated to those old OSes
Nomad_00#9361: So do i
Nomad_00#9361: I would just like a bootable iso file as well
Nomad_00#9361: Well not for 95
Nomad_00#9361: But vista and xp
Nomad_00#9361: I'd like to use the emulators for mild software and code projects
Nomad_00#9361: I've ripped other os's with multiple types of iso ripping software but it's not fully ripping
Nomad_00#9361: I'll come back later
jay1185#0112: unless somebody has made one that i don't know about, the only way I've been able to boot a 95 install is with a floppy. even in virtual machines. There might be a bootable 95 iso on the internet somewhere, but chances are it isn't from MS.
jay1185#0112: @Nomad_00

Jam#0384: Winworld** |
Nomad_00#9361: @jay1185 I do have the bootable floppy I dont know the type file but I just cant seen to rip the disk into a iso file, and the boot up would say it was missing some .dill files
Nomad_00#9361: The only problem I have is the disk part into a iso

Sentient Potato#6003: Is it safe to plug in the 8 pin cpu connector into a 4 pin slot or should i wait for the converter
MythologicalZ#3752: It's fine
Sentient Potato#6003: So it wont fry the mobo or any of that
MythologicalZ#3752: Shouldn't have any issues
JustinXenyx#8854: converter makes 0 difference
Sentient Potato#6003: Oh ok because i bought an optiplex 9020 and didnt know
MythologicalZ#3752: Hol up
MythologicalZ#3752: That might be proprietary
Sentient Potato#6003: P4 connector
TheGeekster#8508: I'm pretty sure that the CPU power on an optiplex motherboard is standard, but the 24 pin main motherboard connector is the thing that could be different from normal |
TheGeekster#8508: for *that* part, you'll need an adapter afaik
Sentient Potato#6003: Oh ok. So i wasted $7 on an 8 pin to 4 pin converter then?
MythologicalZ#3752: You need a 24pin to 8pin adapter thing
Sentient Potato#6003: That's in new york currently
MythologicalZ#3752: But a 8pin will be fine in the 4pin
Sentient Potato#6003: Ah
Sentient Potato#6003: Thank y'all
Jam#0384: You can also use a 4pin in the 8pin
Jam#0384: Assuming you dont draw a ton from cpu
tdp2612#3835: yeah thats how mine is
tdp2612#3835: my psu has an 8 pin, but as it had been running on just a 4 pin for years i only connected the 4 pin

Alcyone#2233: amd originally started as a licensed producer of intel chips to meet demand
Racey#8574: Then they started making their own spin on the 386 I think
Racey#8574: Or was it the 8086 |
Little Billy#3065: i got a hp probook 650 g1
Little Billy#3065: for really cheap
Little Billy#3065: 1tb hard drive
Jam#0384: I think it may have been 286
Jam#0384: but
Jam#0384: I know they did for sure in 386
Xbox 360 1953#2640: Do you guys think a 120gb ide hdd is fine enough for minecraft?
tdp2612#3835: not really
tdp2612#3835: but itll *work*
tdp2612#3835: itll get real slow with a big map though
Xbox 360 1953#2640: Epyc
Xbox 360 1953#2640: I'm throwing together a pc for my sister rn
Xbox 360 1953#2640: I don't even know what the gpu is in it
Jam#0384: It will be fine
Jam#0384: I’ve played minecraft on a 120GB IDE HDD |
Jam#0384: granted it was 1.6
Nomad_00#9361: still should work
Nomad_00#9361: if not turn the graphics to fast
Xbox 360 1953#2640: is there any reason to go 64 bit ovedr 32 bit if i only have 4gb ram
Jam#0384: some games will run
Jam#0384: that would not previously
Jam#0384: if you have a cpu thats 64bit and will run it
Jam#0384: And other stuff
Jam#0384: like programs
Sony PS-FL77#3627: @Xbox 360 1953 support for 32bit is becoming spottier by the day
Sony PS-FL77#3627: So if you're planning to actually use this system then 64 bit is slowly becoming a must
BigPierogi#3368: also more programs suppport it
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Basically exactly that
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: ``` 120GB IDE HDD```
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Eww. |
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: IDE and HDD.
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Wonder how would an IDE SSD perform tho.
TheFifthAce#4128: still capped at 133MB/s but far better response times
TheFifthAce#4128: they exist
CaptainFlanger#2563: I know KingSpec IDE SSDs.
navibu#7218: Hey guys can i use m2 wireless card for desktop?
Jam#0384: Yes
TheGeekster#8508: but it would be quicker and easier to rebuy a pcie or USB wireless card in most situations
air raid siren#7480: IDE SSDs exist? You learn something new every day.
TheGeekster#8508: rare tho, aimed at enterprise old systems, running machinery and stuff like that
air raid siren#7480: Gotta keep old systems limping as long as possible in some businesses. Or in the case of most of the places I've worked because they're too cheap to replace them. Despite there being more cost in the long run due to down time and waiting.
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: https://www.amazon.com/KingSpec-2-5-inch-Solid-SM2236-Controller/dp/B008RWKFYE/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=ide+ssd&qid=1583423805&sr=8-3
Nomad_00#9361: Sometimes you cant replace them for example there could be a old hospital program that only works with old stuff, or Gov machines ect
tdp2612#3835: my dads place had a 386 based laser cutter in stock
tdp2612#3835: absolute sack of shit, noone would buy it because the electronics were dead and the whole thing was beaten up |
Nomad_00#9361: well yah but thats a little difrent then what i was saying but yah

ZeroForsaken#0001: I bought a new board and it’s coming Saturday, and I’m pairing it with an i5-2500 non k that I’ve had for too long. Can anyone recommend me a good graphics card to pair with it? Right now, I have a GTX 750 I’m planning to throw in as a placeholder.
Racey#8574: Might top out at GTX 1650 SUPER or GTX 1660 non-SUPER on less CPU intensive games
JustinXenyx#8854: @ZeroForsaken I'd probably more entail a card like the RX570, since you should be able to find those for a decent price used
Lady Mipha#0611: @TheFifthAce oh god oh fuck
TheGeekster#8508: Thank fuck we only use dedicated TPM chips, that's a little bit of a fuck up
DenseReptile#5142: A 15 year old teen here from the Philippines, I'm currently on an extreme budget of whatever I save from my daily budget for food (honestly haven't counted)
I watched a bit of Budget's videos and I'm impressed by how much you could do with so little, so may I ask what's the best build for someone like me who's on a really tight budget.
Some extra info, I'm planning to use Linux Mint on it instead of Windows (mainly because I assume Windows is heavy and it's expensive, $100 already would cost thousands of pesos, and I simply don't have that), though I'm open to other alternatives for beginners
MythologicalZ#3752: Windows 10 is essentially free if you leave it without a key |
MythologicalZ#3752: Can also nab keys off ebay for 3-5 dollars
DenseReptile#5142: Hmm, that's interesting, still not sure if I should either go for Linux or Windows though
JC392#0392: Linux game performance is pretty close now.
JC392#0392: I think it's a matter of personal preference.
MythologicalZ#3752: Eh
MythologicalZ#3752: There are still compatibility issues
MythologicalZ#3752: But still way more usable than a few years ago
DenseReptile#5142: If I'm not missing out much on anything from Windows, and if Linux has better advantages, then I'll go with Linux
TheGeekster#8508: what games do you wanna play? that's probably gonna be the best way to figure out linux vs windows
DenseReptile#5142: @TheGeekster I have more casual choices in games (Modded ~~Cracked~~ Minecraft being one example), I also like racing.
TheGeekster#8508: tbf windows is probably gonna be your best bet, as the others have said, windows... doesn't exactly have any issues with you not paying, beyond not allowing you to pick a theme, even that there's ways around, i'd just stick with windows
DenseReptile#5142: @TheGeekster I also wanna use it for some programming, and playing around with software in general
TheGeekster#8508: you could try either one tbh, no money is on it
suburbanerrorist#4055: https://tenor.com/view/why-not-both-gif-11478682
TheFifthAce#4128: @DenseReptile if you know how to work out shipping from the USA and can pay for most of it the shipping costs, I can just straight up send you a computer for free |
Nomad_00#9361: If you want to play around with software get an emulator, there fun to play with
LuminousFuture#5919: anyone know how i would be able to get a completely stripped screw out of a laptop? i've tried the rubberband trick
tdp2612#3835: drill it out?
Alcyone#2233: screw extractor or chiseling a groove into it and tapping it sideways to loosen it it
Alcyone#2233: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/685591379539394580/unknown.png
JustinXenyx#8854: I've had success with using a dremel and cutting a slit big enough to fit a flat heat into and then just unscrewing it like normal
Alcyone#2233: if its a small screw a reverse rotation drill bit will usually take it out as well
LuminousFuture#5919: im going to try the reverse rotation drill bit, i cant seem to make a groove in it properly
Ramiere#1840: Best ddr3 ram that isn't overpriced?
Ramiere#1840: @ me if you respond please
Jam#0384: @Ramiere DDR3 1600 and 1866 is cheap and not incredibly slow. Don't worry about heatspreaders unless you NEED aesthetic. They're really irrelevant to regular consumer DDR
DenseReptile#5142: Continuing my previous question due to the secondary question being answered instead.
What hardware should I buy to have a decent modern gaming experience all while maintaining being within an extreme budget? (I might actually try stuff like that one time Budget installed a driver to make an older £1 GPU perform better with newer games)
|
Like what CPU, GPU, RAM, motherboard, HDD, case, etc.
DenseReptile#5142: I wouldn't mind having graphical compromises, I'll prioritize stability more.
MythologicalZ#3752: What budget?
JustinXenyx#8854: If you prioritize stability and having a decent modern gaming experience, fuck using modded drivers
MythologicalZ#3752: Yee
JustinXenyx#8854: Stuff really is not stable most of the time and a lot of games AntiCheat will freak the fuck out
MythologicalZ#3752: And the 4890 or whatever it was isn't even a quid anymore
MythologicalZ#3752: Plus no dx11
DenseReptile#5142: Oof
DenseReptile#5142: Let me see what I saved so far (oh boy, another year of saving and relying on cousins)
MythologicalZ#3752: Also,where are you based?
JustinXenyx#8854: For CPU, you'd need anything better than a quad core, as modern games are starting to utilize more and more cores, so even a quad core with hyperthreading is cutting it close
JustinXenyx#8854: @MythologicalZ Phillipines
DenseReptile#5142: I'm from the Philippines
MythologicalZ#3752: Oof ouch owie |
DenseReptile#5142: A high school student with somewhat strict parents
MythologicalZ#3752: Haven't seen @SuSSudio around recently but he was in that region too I think
DenseReptile#5142: 810 Philippine pesos and still saving
MythologicalZ#3752: Was flipping cards at one point so he knew pricing a lot better
JustinXenyx#8854: And from my experience, that basically means you are fucked to be completely honest, your used market is pretty garbage to say the least
DenseReptile#5142: It's nice I have a little bit of help from cousins though
MythologicalZ#3752: What are your local used markets called?
DenseReptile#5142: Ouch, that sucks
MythologicalZ#3752: Like you do you have Gumtree/Olx?
DenseReptile#5142: Well, the former I've never heard, the latter eventually faded to death
DenseReptile#5142: The two current popular ones are Lazada and Shopee
DenseReptile#5142: Let me tell you something though, they're famous for discounts (and it's advertised quite well too)
MythologicalZ#3752: Aight, I'll take a look
MythologicalZ#3752: But no offense, 810 pesos is essentially just 16USD
DenseReptile#5142: Yeah, still need more saving |
MythologicalZ#3752: gotta do a bunch more saving for any kind of decent performing rig
DenseReptile#5142: Lots of saving, and lots of spending cuts
DenseReptile#5142: Honestly sucks a lot xp
MythologicalZ#3752: Shopee looks like an english version of taobao lol
DenseReptile#5142: I can only look at envy on the fact my cousin gets great stuff like a Switch and a Roland keyboard while I have half decade old modded Xbox 360 that rarely boots up
DenseReptile#5142: I'd be lucky if it boots up when I want it to
DenseReptile#5142: Otherwise, frustrated and repeated power button pressing
MythologicalZ#3752: Well for a start
MythologicalZ#3752: You're only 6 dollars away from a 120GB bx500
MythologicalZ#3752: https://shopee.ph/Intel-i3-2nd-gen-Processor-ASUS-P8H61-1155-MOTHERBOARD-i.76994263.2859204950
MythologicalZ#3752: This isn't bad at all
MythologicalZ#3752: About 47USD for an i3 and a h61 board
JustinXenyx#8854: I see where you are getting at with the Taobao look, shit looks like a direct rip off
JustinXenyx#8854: Hell, that looks so similar it might be Taobao lmao
DenseReptile#5142: That actually sounds nice for a start |
MythologicalZ#3752: It is
MythologicalZ#3752: Even by like US standards or whatever
MythologicalZ#3752: just under 50 for a i3 and a board isn't terrible
DenseReptile#5142: I could probably settle for integrated graphics for now,
DenseReptile#5142: Or a cheap graphics card
MythologicalZ#3752: https://shopee.ph/Crucial-BX500-120GB-SSD-3D-NAND-SATA-2.5-Solid-State-Drive-i.592842.1597270614
MythologicalZ#3752: heres the ssd I was talking about
MythologicalZ#3752: RAM is pretty expensive though
JustinXenyx#8854: I'd make sure to ask around in the family if they have any unneeded PCs or similar
JustinXenyx#8854: Can always salvage from old parts
DenseReptile#5142: Yeah, there's that, I wonder what would be a good bare minimum
MythologicalZ#3752: A case would be a good start
DenseReptile#5142: I doubt my dad would wanna give up his desktop
DenseReptile#5142: ~~He's honestly quite strict with what I can request from him~~
DenseReptile#5142: ~~To the point I never do that anymore, I now do that with cousins on Christmas instead~~ |
MythologicalZ#3752: Both shopee and lazada are kinda aids for ram
MythologicalZ#3752: Super expensive for even 4gb 1600
MythologicalZ#3752: About ₱750
DenseReptile#5142: Oof, maybe I should try salvaging certain parts, either if there's something better or if it provides me something I need
MythologicalZ#3752: so like 14-15 usd
DenseReptile#5142: So I asked my cousin, is it true that 2nd gen Intel i3 is bad or not?
MythologicalZ#3752: internet shitting itself again
DenseReptile#5142: Well, I sent him the link because why not and he said that
DenseReptile#5142: Conflicting information confuses me
DenseReptile#5142: Who the fuck should I follow? >_<
DenseReptile#5142: @MythologicalZ I think I should follow you, you have personal experience but he doesn't
JustinXenyx#8854: Well let's put it this way
JustinXenyx#8854: It's not optimal, but it's not bad given the price and all the other factors
DenseReptile#5142: Yep, it may not be optimal but if it does the job good enough then I'll take it
DenseReptile#5142: Also, should I get a GPU for this and how much RAM do I need as a bare minimum |
DenseReptile#5142: .
I forgot to ask the combined budget for how much my cousins can spend so I can get a PC to start with, why haven't I fucking asked that, I feel stupid
MythologicalZ#3752: Yeah soz
MythologicalZ#3752: My internet shat itself
MythologicalZ#3752: but what justin says is right
MythologicalZ#3752: For now I would focus on getting that h61 combo and some ram
MythologicalZ#3752: figure out storage and gpu later
MythologicalZ#3752: Check with family/friends/whatever for spare parts
SuSSudio#2688: I'm not from PH but close enough. Sandy bridge or 2nd gen i3 is borderline relevant for modern computing, as long as it's not the earlier lineups like 1st gen i3 or the infamous Core 2.
MythologicalZ#3752: ^

Sentient Potato#6003: Probably not
Xbox 360 1953#2640: is it a prebuilt
Xbox 360 1953#2640: I know dell uses the same cooler on both
Ramiere#1840: Yeah prebuilt
Xbox 360 1953#2640: Who makes it?

Xbox 360 1953#2640: which one
Ramiere#1840: HP pro
Ramiere#1840: 3500
Xbox 360 1953#2640: hp probably uses the same cooler on both since they offer one with a i7 3770

TheFifthAce#4128: >gigabyte bios
Jam#0384: so what to do
MythologicalZ#3752: Check if there are updates
MythologicalZ#3752: Apart from the bad UI the bios should be fine
Alcyone#2233: @Jam do you have the ram in slots 2+4? [cpu] :|:| updoot the bios to the latest non beta and try again.

Tinybox#9112: Is a HD 7970m for 85 euros with shipping a good deal?
JustinXenyx#8854: I mean
JustinXenyx#8854: If you have a MXM compatible laptop it is a neat upgrade
JustinXenyx#8854: Otherwise not at all
JustinXenyx#8854: It's a power limited 7870
Tinybox#9112: @JustinXenyx I seriously need a functional Laptop for school now, since my Macbook's keyboard...broke again..and something more...this time? (So I
m giving up) |
I got a HP ELITEBOOK in le eye, with a weak GPU, but it's got a Sandy bridge 4 core i7, and an MXM slot..with seemingly good enough cooling?
I'd spend about 160 euros getting this combo, feel like this is somewhat decent, otherwise I'd need to spendn about 250ish, to get a GT 940m (Maybe a 950m if I'm lucky)+ a 4 Core Haswell CPU,
Tinybox#9112: Think this would be worth it?
JustinXenyx#8854: 160 for laptop + mxm upgrade?
JustinXenyx#8854: that's solid alright
Tinybox#9112: aight
Tinybox#9112: Only worried about battery life
JustinXenyx#8854: Unless you are actively using the MXM card the battery life should be decent
Budget#8265: Ignore that
Budget#8265: Sorry
Budget#8265: @Tech Helper I have tracked down a rare 9500GT 128MB Card, it does show up in GPU Z as being 128MB, and is from Inno3D
From my research it seems that these cards failed production in Europe, and were sold in dodgy stores with BIOSs cutting off the VRAM that made them fail. Usually down to just 128MB of DDR2 RAM.
The card has 1GB VRAM Physically, however that would make these cards(Which are verified to exist) the last and most powerful 128MB GPU. |
In my research i stumbled across an apparent 9800GT BIOS dump claiming to have just 128MB, but i really doubt these exist, as i havent been able to find one in around 2 years, and there is no official release, unlike the 9500GT.
Do any of you know any newer cards that have 128MB of VRAM, we're talking Graphics Cards not display adapters than the 9500GT, and well yah, do my claims of the 9500GT 128MB DDR2 being the last 128MB Graphics Card seem correct
Budget#8265: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/686601796160061623/unknown.png
Budget#8265: Just a bit of evidence
Budget#8265: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/686601952808665124/unknown.png
JustinXenyx#8854: It would depend on what we call "verified to exist", i think i remember some dodgy mods where people just axed X amount of VRAM, modded the VBIOS and then claimed the card was shipped defective or some shit
Budget#8265: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/686602018391064647/unknown.png
Budget#8265: Yeah the 9500GT seems to have been sold as a 128MB VRAM GPU officially
Budget#8265: Very rare though as only sold in obscure markets
Budget#8265: The card has stickers over the VRAM on the box
Budget#8265: (it did come boxed)
Budget#8265: Will send photos when i have some footage of it
JustinXenyx#8854: G210 probably came in at 128MB at some point, but i would doubt it fits the claim "the most powerful 128mb card" |
Budget#8265: The GT210 unfortunately wouldnt be as powerful
Budget#8265: Making this the last proper graphics card released as a 128MB Variant
Budget#8265: A bit like the 8800GT being 256MB
JustinXenyx#8854: Next thing i'd check is the Radeon spectrum
JustinXenyx#8854: Given ATIs history of doing dumb shit i would expect them to have done something similar with a more powerful card
Budget#8265: The issue is in the era where 128MB was viable, AMD was useless
Budget#8265: The HD2000 Series saw very few releases

Budget#8265: I appreciate this search when looking
JustinXenyx#8854: @Jam I'd figure this would be more your type of ordeal, how would a ATI X1650 GT compare to a 9500GT?
Jam#0384: It would be slower
Jam#0384: X1950 Pro 256MB is 8600GT/GS speeds
Jam#0384: 512MB is slightly faster
JustinXenyx#8854: So a 1650GT 128MB would be a lot worse, right
Jam#0384: GT is only a slight underclock |
Budget#8265: the 9500GT surpasses an 8600GT
Budget#8265: Its a shit release that had very little point
Jam#0384: 1650 is probably on par with the 8400GS
Budget#8265: But it was a bad era for the midrange era of cards
Jam#0384: Yes
Jam#0384: 8600GT
Jam#0384: was not so good
Budget#8265: @Tech Helper here be the screenshot
Budget#8265: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/686622633034252376/unknown.png
Budget#8265: It does indeed seem to be a 128MB GPU
MythologicalZ#3752: Nice
MythologicalZ#3752: Also
Budget#8265: yes
MythologicalZ#3752: About that 9800GT dump, dunno if they were a thing back then but cards that had VRAM issues and were out of warranty occasionally had modders build BIOS revisions to limit usage
MythologicalZ#3752: I knew a guy who did some for Fermi I think |
Budget#8265: Ah right
Budget#8265: So its not a legit release like the 9500GT
Budget#8265: Intresting
Budget#8265: Maybe in a spin off video ill try one of those out
Elecks#1913: Im looking for an replacement of my GeForce4 Ti 4400, but i dont know what to get 😅
Jam#0384: Replacement for what purpose
TheGeekster#8508: Like... retro gaming? modern gaming? minesweeper?
Elecks#1913: retro gaming <2006 gaming
Elecks#1913: i was looking at a HD 4670
Elecks#1913: but the prices are ... not cheap
Jam#0384: HD 4670 is overkill for <2006
Jam#0384: And AGP 4670 is expensive
TheGeekster#8508: AGP cards have become hugely inflated due to interest in retro gaming now too
Jam#0384: Maybe try Radeon 9500/9600 or 9800 Pro, or an X1650 Pro. Or a 7600GT
Jam#0384: those are all relatively affordable |
Jam#0384: I have an evil collection of AGP video cards @TheGeekster
TheGeekster#8508: consider them an investment at this point
Jam#0384: I have spent a lot of money overall

Jam#0384: I recommend ATi @TheGeekster
Elecks#1913: Here locally my current 4400 is listed for $70 is that the value?
Jam#0384: Yes, pretty much
Jam#0384: They rarely go lower than that
Jam#0384: I got mine (8X 4800SE) for $50 which is relatively cheap
Jam#0384: It’s not in the best shape though
Jam#0384: Copper on the cooler has some tarnish and theres some damage on one of the small stickers |
Elecks#1913: You say 9600 PRO will do fine?
Elecks#1913: oh yea, that would be a great upgrade, according to this:
https://technical.city/en/video/Radeon-9600-PRO-vs-GeForce4-Ti-4400
Jam#0384: Yes
Jam#0384: 9600 Pro is a very good card
Jam#0384: And it requires no molex or floppy power too
Elecks#1913: i found an local listing, hopefully its still available
JustinXenyx#8854: My sensible advice on retro gaming rn is: If you want a truly dedicated rig for it, build one with parts that have reasonable compatibility and performance for what you want to play and keep the price humane
JustinXenyx#8854: AKA do not go out to buy X card just because it is rarer
Elecks#1913: *unless its dirt cheap* ^^
JustinXenyx#8854: well i need to correct myself
tdp2612#3835: and if you do find something rare, buy it if youre getting a great price, think you can make money from it, or really want it
tdp2612#3835: dont buy it because its there and you have money in the bank
JustinXenyx#8854: AKA do not go out to buy X card for stupid amounts of money just because it is rarer
JustinXenyx#8854: now that's right |
Elecks#1913: For now im aiming at the 9600 PRO as i found one for around $3
Elecks#1913: not sure if its an great model, but for $3.. GiGabyte ATI Radeon GVR96P128DE
Jam#0384: Irrelevant with those cards
Jam#0384: Are model is good
Jam#0384: Buy it
Jam#0384: @JustinXenyx I spend stupid amounts of money on AGP video cards, just not $150-$400 they want for the voodoos and dumb shit
hare_ware#4880: I can't seem to find much information on this for some reason. Can I use a ECC memory in a non-ECC motherboard with a Xeon CPU? It's a Dell Optiplex 990, I want to put a Xeon E3 1245 V1 in it and I've been running out of RAM a lot lately. Would putting a 32GB of cheap server DDR3 in it work? I don't really care about actually using ECC, just more RAM.
hare_ware#4880: Lmao I feel so dumb asking this
TheFifthAce#4128: no
hare_ware#4880: Why not?
Jam#0384: Because the motherboard doesnt support it
Jam#0384: It's as easy as that
Jam#0384: Both the motherboard and cpu have to support it
Lady Mipha#0611: ^^^^^^^^
Jam#0384: Besides, non-ECC DDR3 is pretty cheap. Just don't bother with speed on Intel or heatspreaders |
Jam#0384: 1333 or 1600 is fine
Jam#0384: and those can usually overclock one tier up
TheFifthAce#4128: because I've tested it extensively out of boredom
TheFifthAce#4128: and it does not work
Jam#0384: @TheFifthAce free DDR1 now
TheFifthAce#4128: I have like 50gb of ddr1
TheFifthAce#4128: do you want it
Jam#0384: Yes
Jam#0384: I am running crucially low
TheFifthAce#4128: giv 5$
Jam#0384: haha get it crucial
Jam#0384: @TheFifthAce deal
TheFifthAce#4128: just shipping costs tbh
Jam#0384: is any of it nice
Jam#0384: not that it matters |
TheFifthAce#4128: it's all green and idk if it works but theres a shit ton
Jam#0384: idrc :Xdxdxd:
Jam#0384: Works for me
Jam#0384: $5 is $5 ;)
TheFifthAce#4128: ok theres less than I thought there was
TheFifthAce#4128: I think I gave away some
Jam#0384: o
TheFifthAce#4128: 19 sticks
Jam#0384: are any 1GB
TheFifthAce#4128: doubt it
TheFifthAce#4128: oh there are
Jam#0384: yeah any 1GB and 512MB sticks are very epic
hare_ware#4880: Wait, will an ECC supported CPU work with non-ECC memory and mobo?
TheFifthAce#4128: 5 sticks of 1g
TheFifthAce#4128: @hare_ware yes |
TheFifthAce#4128: you dont need ecc for xeon
hare_ware#4880: Okay thanks!
Jam#0384: 5 sticks of 1GB!
Jam#0384: :D
Lady Mipha#0611: :epicgamer:
Jam#0384: I'll definitely give the $5 for it no issue
hare_ware#4880: Hmmm, thanks amazon https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-PC3200-UNBUFFERED-Non-ECC-184-PIN/dp/B0009PAYY8
Jam#0384: Either wednesday or next week
TheFifthAce#4128: I'll just toss a fuck ton of ram in a flat rate
Jam#0384: I know its $5 lol
TheFifthAce#4128: and you can deal with it
Jam#0384: I dont care
TheFifthAce#4128: some ddr1 some ddr2 some ddr3
Jam#0384: I toss most ram around like its worthless
Jam#0384: seems good to me |

TheFifthAce#4128: :Mad:

Jam#0384: :Xdxdxd:
TheFifthAce#4128: remind me and I'll try to send tomorrow
Jam#0384: Are you just shoving the ddr1 and all your meme sticks in a box and shipping off to me
TheFifthAce#4128: I'm shoving all the ram I dont want in a box and sending it to you
Jam#0384: This is what I call a supreme victory
Xbox 360 1953#2640: yeah ddr3isnt too expensive then |
TheFifthAce#4128: I'm putting 13 3450s in the box too
Jam#0384: Oof
Jam#0384: Okay
Jam#0384: i dont care if they get damaged in shipping
Jam#0384: but im not paying for them

JustinXenyx#8854: Hell, if i had not gotten my Vengeance LPX 32GB kit because it was the cheapest i wouldn't have B-Die now lol |
