Racey#8574: don't let anything except the bottom of a CPU touch it
Racey#8574: if you bend the socket pins it's game over
Racey#8574: most of the time
BeepBeepZangoose#4712: How do I safely remove/ insert the cpu?
BeepBeepZangoose#4712: Just very carefully or is ther a technique
Racey#8574: to take out the CPU just hold it by the sides with your fingers carefully
Racey#8574: to put it in it's the opposite way but make sure the arrow on the CPU is lined up with the arrow on the motherboard
Racey#8574: facing it*
BeepBeepZangoose#4712: Thanks
BeepBeepZangoose#4712: You guys are good at tech tips
thatubuntuguy#5914: If it doesn't just slide in nicely don't close the clip or you will bend pins
thatubuntuguy#5914: once it is in properly it may take more force than you're comfortable with to close it
thatubuntuguy#5914: it's not hard tho
thatubuntuguy#5914: for thermal paste i recommend mx4
thatubuntuguy#5914: or mx2 |
thatubuntuguy#5914: cheap and does the job
Racey#8574: Any thermal paste works
thatubuntuguy#5914: yeah fair it is an old i5
Racey#8574: Only difference would be 2-3 degrees
thatubuntuguy#5914: its not exactly expensive tho
tdp2612#3835: also just check what cooler you have though
tdp2612#3835: if youve got the stock intel really thin one (about 2cm tall for the metal bit) you will have to expect it to run at the thermal limit whenever you play games
VanGuard#4548: Is black label VS 550? Goooood?
tdp2612#3835: no
tdp2612#3835: by black if you mean black with orange, bomb
tdp2612#3835: if by black you mean black/silver/grey, slightly better but still avoid
VanGuard#4548: I mean black silver grey
tdp2612#3835: still better to avoid it
tdp2612#3835: you can get a cx for the same sort of money and theyre much better
CaptainFlanger#2563: ^^ |
Budget#8265: Yeah the VS Series is strange cause CX is the same price and better
VanGuard#4548: 🇩🇰 :Oof:
jojosensei#4198: Hi I am new here ! What it the best GPU I can find for 15-20 euros ? (No config yet but checking for some light medium gaming) Thanks !
tdp2612#3835: id say at that budget, you might just wanna not bother, keep using integrated graphics, and wait until you have ~40 or 50 at which point you can get something solid, like a 750ti
jojosensei#4198: Some 560 ti won't be interesting ?
tdp2612#3835: i mean theyre alright but they arent as powerful nor as energy efficient as a 750ti
tdp2612#3835: whats your psu like, do you have any spare 6/8 pins
Sentient Potato#6003: Can’t you get a gtx 480 for 20 euros?
jojosensei#4198: I have some ads for 750 for 20 euros
Hd 5800
Sentient Potato#6003: Is it possible to stream at 720p using the i7 4770
jojosensei#4198: For now I don't have any PSU , I am looking to find an old i5 or an oem worth it for a super budget
jojosensei#4198: Would like to find under 75 euros. I am maybe too greedy but I would like to see what can I get for that
tdp2612#3835: > Is it possible to stream at 720p using the i7 4770
@Sentient Potato easily, i do 720 streams with my 2320 and 970, usually it adds 20% cpu usage |
tdp2612#3835: so as long as its not a game where youre already hitting 100% cpu, youll be absolutely fine
Sentient Potato#6003: Thanks dude
tdp2612#3835: although I also do them in 30 fps, so if you capped your game at 30 then youll have 0 issues anyway
tdp2612#3835: but thats just because my internet isnt too fast
jojosensei#4198: So is a gtx 750 2go 20 3euros worth ?
tdp2612#3835: if you can actually get it for 20, yes
jojosensei#4198: Thanks I will try to have it.
tdp2612#3835: if you get a 1155 prebuilt theres an almost certain chance you wont have any spare 6 pin connectors off the psu so a 750ti is probably the best youll get other than spending a lot more for a 1050 or 1050ti
jojosensei#4198: A 750 won't work ?
jojosensei#4198: Which prebuilt will go well with a 750 2go ?
Jam#0384: wait
Jam#0384: 20 or 203 euros
Jam#0384: I'm confused @jojosensei
Jam#0384: Either way it will be on the slower side
jojosensei#4198: For 20 euros. Is it that slow ? |
Jam#0384: It's not very fast. I think Ryzen APUs beat it now
Jam#0384: It's slower than the GT 1030
Jam#0384: Which can't run most AAA titles well
Jam#0384: if at all
Jam#0384: But for the price it's not bad
Jam#0384: 20 is cheap
Racey#8574: The Vega 11 offers pretty much the same performance as the GTX 750
jojosensei#4198: Yep I know that it's only a 20 euros GPU that won't do miracle but I just want to know if it's worth geting
jojosensei#4198: How much is that ?
tdp2612#3835: vega 11 is the onboard graphics of some of the modern ryzens
jojosensei#4198: They cost a little bit more than 20 euros no ?
tdp2612#3835: considering youd need a whole ryzen system
tdp2612#3835: !search ryzen 2400g
Rythm#3722: ❌ **You have to be in a voice channel to use this command.**

Deleted User#0000: Hey, does anyone know if 1151 can be a cost effective upgrade from 1155?
jojosensei#4198: As I am waiting for that gtx 750 I have found 2 others ads that I need some advice on.
I found for 40 euros an i5 3570k, an i3 2130 and 2x2 ddr3 ram
And for 50 euros a Fujitsu esprimo e710 (i5 3570, gt630 go, 4 go ddr3) and a free 500 HDD but in what seem an sff case. Are they worth getting ?
Budget#8265: 1151 is not worth touching
Budget#8265: AM4 is better and cheaper
tdp2612#3835: @jojosensei dont bother with the other bits, the prebuilt sounds fine
tdp2612#3835: Although if you really want to, buy the 3570k and resell it as you could make maybe 20 euros on it
tdp2612#3835: Google the prebuilt, see what the board looks like and how easy it would be to put into a proper case
jojosensei#4198: What are the things to particulary look for in the pre built ?
tdp2612#3835: Check if the motherboard is a normal shape, that the psu connector is a normal 24 pin, that sort of thing
tdp2612#3835: And if the front panel connectors are not normal
jojosensei#4198: Bad news it seem that it has 16 pin
TheFifthAce#4128: @Deleted User 1151 is an awful option |
TheFifthAce#4128: am4 is much better
Jam#0384: Then dont use it
JustinXenyx#8854: 1151 is ANYTHING BUT a cost effective upgrade from 1155 @Deleted User
JustinXenyx#8854: AM4 clashes the shit out of 1151 price and value wise
Lady Mipha#0611: ^^^^^

CaptainFlanger#2563: 7th gen X series Intel CPUs are a joke, basically.
Jamie.Cullen#8363: Need help with a Fujitsu P4 machine
Jamie.Cullen#8363: It says a boot error occured |
Jamie.Cullen#8363: Tried reseating the RAM
Jamie.Cullen#8363: Tried different disk
Jamie.Cullen#8363: Still won't boot
Jamie.Cullen#8363: The first time I turned it on it booted into windows XP and then it bluescreened
Jamie.Cullen#8363: Won't boot after that
CaptainFlanger#2563: Are you sure that the OS in the drive is still okay?
CaptainFlanger#2563: What I know, "boot error occurred" probably means it couldn't load the operating system and/or access the hard disk.
Jamie.Cullen#8363: I'll try different cable
Jamie.Cullen#8363: Also the psu has coil whine
CaptainFlanger#2563: Ouch!
Jamie.Cullen#8363: Now Says CMOS/GPNV Checksum bad
CaptainFlanger#2563: That's odd
CaptainFlanger#2563: Just hit F1 or whatever key to continue boot.
Jamie.Cullen#8363: I restored system defaults in the bios
Jamie.Cullen#8363: It boots to Linux lite no problem from USB stick |
Jamie.Cullen#8363: So I'll try install it on a hard drive and then we'll see what happens
CaptainFlanger#2563: Yeah, better check that first.
CaptainFlanger#2563: Hopefully the hard drive is usable.
Jamie.Cullen#8363: But I've tested multiple drives and it won't boot
Deleted User#0000: maybe you should replace the psu if it has coilwine....
Deleted User#0000: in my experience a bad psu can allow your machine to boot, but you'll get a pretty unstable experience
CaptainFlanger#2563: ^
Jam#0384: Also make sure BIOS settings are correct

@wiryfuture🦀 Have you got high availability configured with MAAS? your best shot is just to go down them one at a time, what's been referred to is me deploying servers via images allowing installation of multiple oses' on servers at a time. not updates
wiryfuture🦀#1706: um, no and I don't really know what it is
"Cobs"#1150: best bet is just to go down them one at a time and run the distupgrade command. if you have something like SecureCRT installed you can open connections to lots at once and probs have a hotkey to do the work for you

My Focus G case has a USB header connector that's supposed to be connected to the motherboard but the Joshua board has 3 types of front USB headers labled as "F_USB1, F_USB2, F_USB3" with the F_USB3 looking completely different from both F_USB1 and F_USB2. |

tdp2612#3835: dont bother
tdp2612#3835: too proprietary
tdp2612#3835: its got an 18 pin pwoer connector |
Xbox 360 1953#2640: ah, i see
Xbox 360 1953#2640: Didn't count the pins
tdp2612#3835: also just looks like weird connectors

Xbox 360 1953#2640: http://www.ascendtech.us/delta-700watt-dps-700fb-b-power-supply_i_cspdltdps700fbb.aspx how about this one?
Xbox 360 1953#2640: Site says it has normal connectors
Budget#8265: Loojs normal
Budget#8265: They;re usually solid PSUs from Delta
Ramiere#1840: Whats a good cpu fan? Nothing too crazy im only getting an i5 3470
JoshTheTechie#2808: I like the cooler master hyper 212 evo but that might be a bit crazy for what you're after I'm guessing
tdp2612#3835: a 212 will do a great job there, but theres better coolers quite honestly
tdp2612#3835: theres also a real chance that the 212 wont fit in your case, mine only just clears
tdp2612#3835: get one of them freezer esports things, they perform a bit better and are far more compact, although cost a bit more
tdp2612#3835: getting one of them will also mean you can move it to newer platforms, as the 212 evo am4 adapter is extremely rare
Jam#0384: The 212 is overkill |
Jam#0384: Just use the stock cooler
Jam#0384: If you don't have one
Jam#0384: There's some better deals than the 212
tdp2612#3835: I wouldn't say its that overkill
JoshTheTechie#2808: Fair point on if it will fit
tdp2612#3835: Like mine eith the 212 gets to 65 at the very worst, but stock cooler it would hit 72 within a minute of gameplay and sit there
JoshTheTechie#2808: Yeah I wouldn’t say it’s overkill I had one in my old system and I was good a just ordered one for my new system
JoshTheTechie#2808: I hope it fits 😅
Jam#0384: It is totally overkill
Jam#0384: The stock cooler performs virtually the same. It's hardly any hotter.
tdp2612#3835: No
tdp2612#3835: No no no no no
Jam#0384: The difference is when you have an overclocking chip
tdp2612#3835: No

tdp2612#3835: No
tdp2612#3835: If he has the same stock cooler as me he'll be able to back me up
tdp2612#3835: Although i know they did a beefier one too
Jam#0384: I've used the stock coolers from HP and Dell on similar i5s
Jam#0384: They are certainly LOUDER
Jam#0384: But the temperatures are 5c hotter max
Jam#0384: That's not worth it on a CPU that doesn't even overclock
Jam#0384: You gain nothing.
Jam#0384: Those i5s don't run hot.
Jam#0384: Just use the stock cooler.

Jam#0384: Which should still be able to cool it at 70C or below. |
tdp2612#3835: I had that one
tdp2612#3835: And it really couldnt cool it for shit
tdp2612#3835: Putting any load on it in a game would be too much for it and would go up to tcase or whatever its called on intels site
tdp2612#3835: But even then the '' '' better''' ' ones are a mile off something like a 212 that will keep it well cooled
Jam#0384: A 212 is genuinely overkill though
Deleted User#0000: Talking about overclocking I was thinking on getting one of those snowman coolers with 6 heatpipes, are they good for the price?
Deleted User#0000: I'm gonna overclock a xeon x3440 and I don't have a stellar budget
Budget#8265: Stock cooler for that would be fine

JustinXenyx#8854: yikes
Xbox 360 1953#2640: and rx 590
JustinXenyx#8854: Ok that's some mad fire hazard shit
Xbox 360 1953#2640: they're swapping it to the new asus gt 730 or something
Xbox 360 1953#2640: whenever that comes out
Xbox 360 1953#2640: it has like 4 hdmi ports
JustinXenyx#8854: GT710 and i think it releases in May
JustinXenyx#8854: i know which one you mean |
Xbox 360 1953#2640: Yeah, that was the one
JustinXenyx#8854: So, to make the config a little clearer: i7 6700, MSI Z170 or H170 Gaming M3, presumably 8GB of SODIMM DDR4, RX 590, some 256GB SATA SSD and a PSU that is very likely a fire hazard with those components
JustinXenyx#8854: Even with a GT710 it is a major fire hazard
JustinXenyx#8854: Because the PSU is fucking trash
Xbox 360 1953#2640: z170, 16gb i think
Ramiere#1840: @tdp2612 @JoshTheTechie can’t lie it is a bit of overkill for a 3770 lmao it doesn’t get that hot i just dont have the stock cooler and needed something

thatubuntuguy#5914: it's a gts 450/550ti
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Where the hell are they getting these 550Ti from?
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: The garbage chute?
thatubuntuguy#5914: they probably bought a fuck ton of them cheap off wholesale
thatubuntuguy#5914: rebranded em and tried to scalp people for a neat profit
thatubuntuguy#5914: I had the palit gts 450
thatubuntuguy#5914: you can see the heatsink underneath the shroud, it's identical to the one on my gts 450
thatubuntuguy#5914: i have no idea how they keep selling these things
jojosensei#4198: Too bad those HD xxxx are too old. I love their case decoration
JustinXenyx#8854: Multi GPU in general has been trash for over a decade, literally wouldn't bother unless you were doing some fancy pants high end rig
Jam#0384: Exaggeration
Jam#0384: It’s only been around for just over a decade in terms of Nvidia/ATI |
Jam#0384: The falloff point was around Kepler.
Jam#0384: 2013-2014 ish
Jam#0384: Before then Dual GPU was not super good value, but viable in games on the higher end
jojosensei#4198: So those 5850 are not worth selling ?
JustinXenyx#8854: Nah not really
SuSSudio#2688: Terascale cards are only worth keeping on shelves & occassional runs... a relic at this point, atleast for anything modern.
Sentient Potato#6003: Is the 5850 compatible with Windows 10?
SuSSudio#2688: > terrascale is bad on w10 and in 2020
- Alycone
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Casual? Yes.
SuSSudio#2688: Runs, but barely cope with modern games & 3D composition softwares
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Gaming? The games will run better in your dreams than on the GPU.
SuSSudio#2688: But old timers like me do enjoy these cards, chilling with W7 & early 2010s games... smooth as butter
Sentient Potato#6003: Tbh I only need it so ma can play Oregon trail
Sentient Potato#6003: I’m just glad w10 supports it |
Sentient Potato#6003: Not glad how unobservent I am
JustinXenyx#8854: @Sentient Potato Runs but is pretty plagued with some issues
Sentient Potato#6003: Even with the 1.8 ghz c2d?
JustinXenyx#8854: Sure it'll get you running better than like Intel HD or a GT something but not really recommended
jojosensei#4198: I guess it's the same answer for 2 gtx 580 sli ?
JustinXenyx#8854: generally anything multiGPU should be avoided in 2020
JustinXenyx#8854: makes no real sense especially at the low end
jojosensei#4198: And alone ?
tdp2612#3835: yeah just get a 750ti or something for the cost of 2
JustinXenyx#8854: 580 isn't a strong card, better off with like a 750Ti with a slight performance hit on paper but MUCH better drivers and way better power efficiency
jojosensei#4198: Trying to get a 750ti but it's quite hard as they go fast
jojosensei#4198: Found one at 20 euros and waiting for answer

jojosensei#4198: What it the best (cost effective) GPU for an i5 3570k ?
tdp2612#3835: 970, 1060 3 or spend a bit more and a 1060 6
jojosensei#4198: And the cheapest that won't bottleneck it too much ?
Budget#8265: £50 RX470?
Alcyone#2233: agreed polaris x70 or x80
Alcyone#2233: 1060 is good too but usually overpriced, no freesync with 970 |
jojosensei#4198: 50£ ? In france they are more 80-100. Maybe i'm just bad at finding good stuff
Jam#0384: 80-100 is more common
Jam#0384: You can find one for 65-70 if you look enough though

tdp2612#3835: looks legit to me yeah
tdp2612#3835: not a bad looking card either
jojosensei#4198: Strange that I found 2 differents ad for rx 480 cheaper than 470
SuSSudio#2688: Beware a mining card, ask the seller what was its usage history |
SuSSudio#2688: Polaris cards (RX4/5XX) were commonly used for cryptocurrency mining back in 2017. Miners bought dozens of them & ran it 24/7 straight.
Typically mining cards will have decreased lifespan due to mining loads. It'll may die sooner than you expected.
jojosensei#4198: Yep it's only 65 euros so I am scared
CaptainFlanger#2563: AMD cards are notorious for being a mining victims.
CaptainFlanger#2563: For the lack of better term.

Bwenfwake#6869: Heya guys, I'm hoping ya'll can help me here...
Bwenfwake#6869: Now I'm usually pretty good in fixing/solving problems but this one has stumped me... Recently I keep getting a problem where my displays will just all go black at once.
Bwenfwake#6869: However, it hasn't got any worse until today where I was in the middle of a game and the game got slower and slower until my PC literally just froze... At which point it then went to black screens... I think it might be my SSD dying at this stage but what are your thoughts?
Bwenfwake#6869: I've tested my RAM and all is good, my power supply certainly has no problems either... It's hard to say what it is hence why I am asking. Cheers :)
Bwenfwake#6869: I get no indication of a crash from within event viewer either... Hence why I can't troubleshoot really :/

@SuSSudio sorry but i'm going to have to call bullshit on that one
JustinXenyx#8854: If anything, mining cards will probably last the same or even longer than a typical gaming card used in a similar timeframe
JustinXenyx#8854: A mining workload never used the card to its full potential, especially with how most miners downvolted them and power limited them to run the most efficiently
SuSSudio#2688: I don't know who should i trust in this matter anymore.. some say avoid mining cards, some say yes...
JustinXenyx#8854: most that say avoid are pretty much talking out of their asses to be quite honest
SuSSudio#2688: Well yeah it's always been a debate
JustinXenyx#8854: Not really, it's just that a lot of people that say to avoid them never really understood how they were used in the first place
JustinXenyx#8854: they just assume the cards ran at full pace and shit when that is not the case at all
JustinXenyx#8854: The only real drawback to mining cards is potentially having the fans die quicker, but those are like $5 to replace and usually takes like 30 minutes to do so |
SuSSudio#2688: Good point

Miki2305#5707: If a laptop was staying without a battery and not plugged in for several months can it die

So I should look for mining editions cards ?
JustinXenyx#8854: No, he said specifically NOT to get mining specific cards @jojosensei
JustinXenyx#8854: A lot of them do not even have display outputs
SuSSudio#2688: ^

JustinXenyx#8854: Cards that were used for mining? Sure. Cards specifically designed for Mining? Fuck no
jojosensei#4198: Ha ok sorry didn't understand
SuSSudio#2688: If you see no display outputs in the rear of the card then it's a mining card, if you see complete display outputs in the card, then it's the regular card

JoshTheTechie#2808: So I think I know what the issue is but I'm coming here to have it confirmed. When my GPU fan goes or is set below 40% fan speed it makes a whining screeching noise and is seems to be vibrating the fan as well. does this mean the bearings in the fan are on the way out?
JoshTheTechie#2808: at 40% fan speed or higher it seems to be fine
Miki2305#5707: Yep, the brearings are going bad.
Miki2305#5707: Same thing happend to my psu
JoshTheTechie#2808: yeah at the moment its not seriously loud but I can here it
JoshTheTechie#2808: plus its getting louder
Miki2305#5707: I suggest you to get replacement fans if they are selling them for your gpu
Miki2305#5707: Or you can get a whole new cooling assembly
JoshTheTechie#2808: yeah mine is a evga gtx 1060 SC 6gb single fan (that's probably why its going)
Miki2305#5707: Oh god a blower style gpu its toasty then huh?
JoshTheTechie#2808: yeah that's why I had to set a custom fan profile and put new thermal paste on the card as it was overheating in most new games
Miki2305#5707: If you can find a part number for that fan it shouldn't bbe hard to find it
JoshTheTechie#2808: this is my card https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/704674455057858630/382a57eb-c844-4b5c-a772-a4d8060eb104.png |
JoshTheTechie#2808: yeah I'll try and have a search online and see if they are sold and if its worth doing
Miki2305#5707: If you cant find them you may find a dead gpu your style for cheap and maybe salvage the fans off it
JoshTheTechie#2808: yeah exactly that's what I was thinking of doing
JoshTheTechie#2808: I only brought the card in October but it was off eBay after all
Miki2305#5707: Was a mining gpu?
JoshTheTechie#2808: not sure. not that I know for sure
JoshTheTechie#2808: all the ebay description said was it had been used for gaming for around a year but not used too much
JoshTheTechie#2808: but thats what they all say 😅
Miki2305#5707: well good luck finding fans
Miki2305#5707: Imma need to go
JoshTheTechie#2808: okay thanks for your help

Budget#8265: Check BIOS with GPU-Z
Budget#8265: See if its a custom BIOS
JoshTheTechie#2808: just checked and seems to be the correct bios. its 86.06.39.00.62
JoshTheTechie#2808: its making the noise at 40% now. so its slowly getting worse
JoshTheTechie#2808: something isn't right with this card as the past few days now the clocks will stick at the base clock and not ramp down. when I reinstall the drivers then the card ramps down and works normally for a few days and then the same thing happens leading me to reinstall the drivers
Budget#8265: This screams modded BIOS
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: I checked the BIOS number and it was a legit EVGA one.

Jam#0384: I ran the 5GHz rig on it for months
Muse#0557: You're pushing 650
Jam#0384: with a 280X
Muse#0557: Oh
Muse#0557: Yeh
Jam#0384: Haha
Muse#0557: Upgrade time
Jam#0384: Yes
Muse#0557: Maybe check amazon warehouse etc... They probably have some rmx for close to retail
Jam#0384: I want a proper psu that i can use for my SLI systems. Something atleast 850W
Jam#0384: and crossfire
Jam#0384: I just dont crossfire as much because AMD really ruined ATI until recently with some decent launches, and ofc with the exception of GCN
Jam#0384: plus multi GPU is dead but like
Muse#0557: HD 7970 xfire is bae |
Jam#0384: Im not doing the things i do for logical reasons
Jam#0384: im just having fun
Muse#0557: I don't remember the model names
Jam#0384: 7970 GHz
Jam#0384: sex
Muse#0557: But you should be able to get a nice refurb corsair 80+ plat for close to retail
Muse#0557: Also for some reason there is a 6gb 7970 ghz
Jam#0384: seems legit https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/704808482934751332/unknown.png

Jam#0384: bruh
Muse#0557: That costs 25 bucks in China I bet
Muse#0557: Build outta spare bolts
Jam#0384: i was kidding
Jam#0384: about it being solid
Deleted User#0000: Is there anyone in here that knows a lot about PSU? |
Muse#0557: Yeh ik you're kidding
Yamas8604#5285: depends whats up
Muse#0557: He is wondering if he can get a better PSU than a EVGA G2 for the same price
Yamas8604#5285: hmm no
Deleted User#0000: ?
Yamas8604#5285: go used
Deleted User#0000: When did I say I was getting a G2?
jay1185#0112: soulous what are the specs of the system you're wanting to use said power supply on?
Muse#0557: You didnt
Muse#0557: But that's the main option
Muse#0557: So everything else considered should be as good if not better right
Deleted User#0000: My main plan is that I'm looking for a PSU that is decent with 550 or 650 watts for a few years
Muse#0557: The supernova you brought forward
Muse#0557: Is a g2
Deleted User#0000: :/ https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/704811893134590072/2.PNG |
BigPierogi#3368: cx 650
BigPierogi#3368: not green
Muse#0557: G5?
Deleted User#0000: I was going to go for CX550 but they jacked the damn prices
Muse#0557: Wut
Deleted User#0000: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/704812002056601620/hell.PNG
Yamas8604#5285: all evga psus that i have bough stopped working
BigPierogi#3368: did you check newegg
Deleted User#0000: Yes
Deleted User#0000: its even worse
Muse#0557: Destroyer a 80+ Bronze cheap corsair
Muse#0557: Is not a good recommendation
Muse#0557: US prices are really bad rn
Deleted User#0000: Budget said it was good
jay1185#0112: in my opinion, along with quality, you want to find one with the best +12V Amerpage rating. My 600W Smart PSUs have 42A on the +12V rail. The 700W has a 54A rail |
Yamas8604#5285: i didnt recomend the cx 650
Deleted User#0000: and my brother has one he's using a i5 4th gen with a gtx 980 perfectly fine
Muse#0557: My bad
BigPierogi#3368: ive been using the cx 650 for like 2-3 years
Yamas8604#5285: though tbh thats the psu i have
BigPierogi#3368: i havent had issues
Muse#0557: My brain isn't understanding... You're hazy about a Evga 80+ Gold but fine with a low end corsair bronze
BigPierogi#3368: are you saying cx sucks
Muse#0557: No just saying that it's not as good
Yamas8604#5285: cx is fine
BigPierogi#3368: well duh its not as good
Muse#0557: Yeh ik
Muse#0557: But soulous was unsure about an 80+ Gold with equally great reviews
Yamas8604#5285: well my psu is modular so its god tier
Muse#0557: But jumping at the corsair unit |
BigPierogi#3368: evga is fine sort of
BigPierogi#3368: their white labels are bad
BigPierogi#3368: white 80+
Deleted User#0000: On reviews, it was mediocre
jay1185#0112: i'd still like to know what system the PSU is going to power, lol.
Deleted User#0000: Though I'm still reading it
Muse#0557: I thought it was a G2
Muse#0557: Not a G5
Deleted User#0000: Its a G5
Muse#0557: Haven't even seen a G4
Deleted User#0000: Well, I'm planning on overclocking with the PSU
Muse#0557: So dont get how they are on G5
Deleted User#0000: The RAM, CPU, and GPU
Muse#0557: Have you checked Evga B stock
Deleted User#0000: Like I said before, I will not buy a used or refurbed PSU unit |
Deleted User#0000: That's the only thing I will never buy used
BigPierogi#3368: will you buy a used hdd
Deleted User#0000: Yes
Muse#0557: ...
Muse#0557: What
Yamas8604#5285: oof no
Muse#0557: Refurbished doesn't even have to mean it broke
Yamas8604#5285: never buy a used hdd
Muse#0557: Most times it means it was returned
Deleted User#0000: I'm using a used HDD and its still kicking
Muse#0557: I've bought 10 year old delta psus
Yamas8604#5285: its one thing if its free
Muse#0557: And they have outlived brand new hdds
BigPierogi#3368: delta is #1
Deleted User#0000: Look, I just don't want any risks in the power department |
BigPierogi#3368: indestructible
Muse#0557: It's not a risk man
Yamas8604#5285: if you buy a good used unit you will be fine
Muse#0557: If its refurbished
Muse#0557: It's met their standards
Deleted User#0000: Alright, well I'll go with the G5 EVGA supernova
Deleted User#0000: Most PSU's have 3 years or longer for warranty?
BigPierogi#3368: check whatever site your on
BigPierogi#3368: it will say
BigPierogi#3368: or evga website
Deleted User#0000: Hm, alright
Muse#0557: Evga tend to have 3 years
Muse#0557: Some even 5 years
Deleted User#0000: Alright, how do you even return a product, I've never done one so it would be good to know
Muse#0557: Call up the support |
BigPierogi#3368: call or email
BigPierogi#3368: say their product is shit
Muse#0557: They'll supply you with a shipping label if you're within the restrictions
Deleted User#0000: Do you know the restrictions?
Muse#0557: By return you mean unhappy with right?
Muse#0557: Or broken
Deleted User#0000: Wait, if I overclock and the PSU dies because of it, does that mean its out of warranty?
Muse#0557: Probably not
Muse#0557: Check the website
Muse#0557: It's your purchase
Muse#0557: And you going through it will take the same amount of time as me
Muse#0557: So...
Deleted User#0000: Its amazon's return process
Deleted User#0000: Unless I buy directly from EVGA
Deleted User#0000: Oh fuk that |
Muse#0557: Evga have it for 110
Deleted User#0000: 30 days of warranty?
Muse#0557: They have a bunch of 650w
Muse#0557: On their website
Muse#0557: It has a 10 year warranty
Muse#0557: Wow
Deleted User#0000: 10 years?
Muse#0557: Go to their website
Muse#0557: And filter by 650w
Muse#0557: Yeh
Muse#0557: 10
Deleted User#0000: Damn
Deleted User#0000: Are you surprised?
Muse#0557: Evga have the best warranty in the business
Muse#0557: I thought it was 5 |
Muse#0557: Which is already amazing
BigPierogi#3368: doesnt seasonic also have 10 year
Muse#0557: Think that's only for plats and titanium
BigPierogi#3368: top of the line
Deleted User#0000: Alright, I did earn 30$ for mowing but I don't have it so I have 95$ right now
Deleted User#0000: So I'm going to have to work some more to get it
Muse#0557: They have a CQ
Muse#0557: I'm going to buy straight from their site more often
Deleted User#0000: What's a CQ?
Muse#0557: Model name
Muse#0557: I believe its a semi modular g2
Deleted User#0000: But fuk
Deleted User#0000: 10 years of warranty
Deleted User#0000: Are they that bold?
Muse#0557: GQ is 90 bucks with 5 years |
Muse#0557: They clearly don't lose any money from offering it
Muse#0557: Otherwise they wouldn't do it
Deleted User#0000: So it seems that their psu is good
Deleted User#0000: or pretty good
Muse#0557: Yeh they are good
Deleted User#0000: So, the full price is 129.99$
Deleted User#0000: 109$ with a 20$ rebate
Muse#0557: Idk how rebates work tbh
Deleted User#0000: But really its a gimmick
Deleted User#0000: I have to buy one of EVGA's products to get it
Muse#0557: Wdym
Deleted User#0000: I have to buy something from them to be qualified for that 20$ rebate
Deleted User#0000: And plus its mailed
Deleted User#0000: So I won't be able to get it immediately
Muse#0557: Does the psu not count towards the rebate |
Muse#0557: Or is it already bought
Deleted User#0000: I'm not sure
Muse#0557: I don't think we have rebates here
Muse#0557: I'd look into it
Muse#0557: Good luck
Muse#0557: Got a bad essay to write

Muse#0557: Does it show load
Deleted User#0000: I'm checking
Deleted User#0000: It doesn't say
Deleted User#0000: Well, I know what I'm getting first, thanks for answering my questions even though I was quite stubborn about PSU choices
Muse#0557: No problem
boog#9487: Should I upgrade to ryzen? I would probably get a r5 3600 and 16gb ram. Only real reason I have is that my motherboard has only one case fan header and had a corrosion issue where I have to clean the ram slots every now and then. |

Jam#0384: Kinda expensive but fast
Bwenfwake#6869: I'm willing to do so tbh....
Bwenfwake#6869: Just for faster mem atm
Bwenfwake#6869: I really wanna keep up with my bro's laptop lmao |

Bwenfwake#6869: I only have a AIO for CPU so all is gud
Jam#0384: Oh aight
Bwenfwake#6869: TALL DIMM
Bwenfwake#6869: problem is that they don't really fit into theme or rig

wiryfuture🦀#1706: hydro-dip ram :Hahahahaha:
Jam#0384: What theme
Bwenfwake#6869: I'm going more black and red (unintentionally) but I am sure I can figure something out

Bwenfwake#6869: lol between 24 and 42 days
Bwenfwake#6869: is that worth it....
Bwenfwake#6869: wait a sec... customs... What do...
tdp2612#3835: nice postcode *gloucester* ish boi
tdp2612#3835: :frobotmoment:
tdp2612#3835: do you really need that much ram though
Bwenfwake#6869: lmfao
tdp2612#3835: or are you buying for the sake of it
Bwenfwake#6869: Yes and No
Bwenfwake#6869: I want the speed of it. But I said to myself that it wouldn't be worth the speed/cost really unless I doubled my mem
Bwenfwake#6869: so I'm really on the fence
tdp2612#3835: i mean its a lot of money for ddr3
Bwenfwake#6869: True
tdp2612#3835: surely youd be better off selling what you have and moving to something new
Bwenfwake#6869: maybe?.... But then I can't have as much overclocking fun |
tdp2612#3835: like if youre putting that much money into an old system just to get the small gains
Bwenfwake#6869: yeah perhaps you're right tbf
tdp2612#3835: for that you could buy yourself a 2600 or something
tdp2612#3835: or an 8500 if youre a bit weird
Bwenfwake#6869: yeh but only a 2600 aha... I mean I have 8c16t already
tdp2612#3835: dual xeon or something?
Bwenfwake#6869: single Xeon
Bwenfwake#6869: E5 1680 V2
Bwenfwake#6869: 4.4GHz
tdp2612#3835: would it even know how to deal with that speed of ram though
Bwenfwake#6869: 16GB 1333MHz OC'd to 1866MHz
Bwenfwake#6869: plus a GTX 1080
Bwenfwake#6869: yeh, it can manage 3200MHz if it wanted
tdp2612#3835: eh maybe it is worth sticking with what you have then
Bwenfwake#6869: I'm just really on the fence about it |
Bwenfwake#6869: ya see today my bro had his new laptop arrive... in it is a Ryzen 7 4800HS or summin
Bwenfwake#6869: 8c16t and does 4000cb score in R20
Bwenfwake#6869: That's mad for a mobile chip
tdp2612#3835: i wish i could get that :Frobot:
Bwenfwake#6869: and now I'm jealous of that with only my measly 3152cb R20 score lmao
tdp2612#3835: heres me getting 900 :Frobot:
tdp2612#3835: oh its worse than that
tdp2612#3835: 900 must have been r15
Bwenfwake#6869: I mean the benefit is that I've deffo spent less on my system overall in comparison and I've been meaning to upgrade RAM for a while but I have absolutely no idea what to do now aha
tdp2612#3835: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/704835212533694484/unknown.png
Bwenfwake#6869: R20 will be a better score than R15 tho
tdp2612#3835: Ill run it again then, maybe its changed the result somehow
Bwenfwake#6869: lmao
tdp2612#3835: I remember a 900 and something clearly
Bwenfwake#6869: I think I'll leave the RAM in my basket and sleep on it. I get paid soon anyway so we'll see |
Bwenfwake#6869: just that 2400MHz in quad channel would be ace. Easy OC to maybe 2800MHz and then we're laughin with an extra OC of CPU up to maybe 4.6GHz
tdp2612#3835: Is 4.4 to 4.6 really gonna make much difference in games though
tdp2612#3835: Or will it just boost benchmark numbers up a bit
Bwenfwake#6869: Nah not really in games but it sure does help with image and video editing
Bwenfwake#6869: blender rendering also
Bwenfwake#6869: maybe I'll see what Brian from Tech Yes City uses in his rig
Bwenfwake#6869: since ik he is also on X79
Bwenfwake#6869: at least since I last watched his vids anyway
tdp2612#3835: i managed to get 683 this round
tdp2612#3835: i guess i turned discord off last time
Muse#0557: so is R20 better optimised

Muse#0557: and add a point to screw into
tdp2612#3835: ***what***
tdp2612#3835: oh you mean the first one
Muse#0557: yeh
tdp2612#3835: i guess this gives portabilty, and its easy to swap
Muse#0557: also
Muse#0557: the second one is an sff card |
Muse#0557: just get an adapter
Muse#0557: wait
Muse#0557: is it
Muse#0557: i cant tell
Muse#0557: its look like
tdp2612#3835: yeah its a sff card
tdp2612#3835: but its an ultra thin case
tdp2612#3835: so it still doesnt bit
Muse#0557: yeh the hdmi is sticking through
tdp2612#3835: wait nvm
tdp2612#3835: apparently that hdmi is technically the right side of the screw in bit

Bwenfwake#6869: Still 16GB total but I want the speed not capacity now lmao
Bwenfwake#6869: they're both lovely sets
tdp2612#3835: Nah that seems dumb
tdp2612#3835: If theyre only a bit faster than what you have already
Bwenfwake#6869: In all fairness, I keep getting black screens when playing games because of my RAM now sooo like....
Bwenfwake#6869: I feel like it's worth it |
Bwenfwake#6869: seems fine when doing stuff but every now and agin my PC's displays will just cut out
Bwenfwake#6869: It's really bugging me and I'm fed up with it
SuSSudio#2688: I've got thoughts, with DDR5 around the corner, considering its frequency speed, will it reduce the need of bigger ram capacity?
Bwenfwake#6869: nah probs not tbh, people still need butt loads of RAM when working on huge video projects
Bwenfwake#6869: for gaming it might change tho but I doubt it
SuSSudio#2688: Yeah like gaming, i forgot to specify
SuSSudio#2688: Mmhm
JustinXenyx#8854: that screams pretty expensive for shit ddr3 @Bwenfwake
Bwenfwake#6869: I bought it for the timings and OC potential... Plus the fact that my current RAM is dying anyway lol
JustinXenyx#8854: like i can get the same amount of memory in 2GB samsung sticks that all clock reliably to 2133Mhz for 15 bucks
JustinXenyx#8854: and they are 1333Mhz base
Bwenfwake#6869: welll... I mean you might be able to but I can't seem to find anything like that
Bwenfwake#6869: both 1600MHz with 8-8-8-24 timings
Bwenfwake#6869: I feel it's worth it
JustinXenyx#8854: i mean you do you |
JustinXenyx#8854: but for 2GB sticks that is way too expensive in my opinion
JustinXenyx#8854: like, a 4x4 kit would technically be better in every way, especially overclocking
JustinXenyx#8854: the more RAM sticks you have the worse your RAM oc gets
Bwenfwake#6869: yeah that's fair, It's just that currently I can't find any other sets of sticks (4 + 4 dimms) that have the same timings and speed that I want
Bwenfwake#6869: but it can only be better than what I've currently got tbf. Current stuff is 1333MHz with much worse timings and they're mismatched
Bwenfwake#6869: x 8
Miljan#7510: Hey guys quick question, friend bought a new mobo (b450 gamingx) but his 550w PSU doesn't have an 8pin cpu (or 4+4) cable, can he use his PC untill he gets a new PSU or no?
JustinXenyx#8854: the extra 4 pin is technically for power stability and heat stuffs @Miljan
JustinXenyx#8854: AKA it will run fine with most CPUs
Miljan#7510: So only one 4 pin will run?
JustinXenyx#8854: nononono
JustinXenyx#8854: There is no "one 4 pin runs and the other one doesn't" with that
Miljan#7510: Oh, that's what I was asking
Miljan#7510: How come his old fx4300 ran fine with only one 4pin?
Budget#8265: Do you mean the motherboard has an 8Pin CPU Slot |
Budget#8265: and the PSU doesnt
Budget#8265: (very odd for any modern-ish psu not too)
JustinXenyx#8854: i doubt it is modern-ish @Budget
Budget#8265: Cause the motherboard and CPU will work with jist the 4pin from the PSU
Miljan#7510: Yeah it isn't modern
Budget#8265: Right
Budget#8265: Well itll work
Budget#8265: But what PSU is this cause im talking any reputable PSU from the last 15 years
Yannikau#9606: You can run an 8 pin CPU connector with a 4 pin PSU connector
You just shouldn´t for extended periods of time bcs the PSU is probably garbage
Budget#8265: What he said essentially ^
Budget#8265: There are exceptions like FSP and Delta though
Budget#8265: But yes you can just use the 4pin on the 8 pin CPU Slot
Yannikau#9606: Also for high powered CPUs you shouldn´t do this
But I´ll asumme this isn´t the case here |
Miljan#7510: R5 2600x
Yannikau#9606: Like a 2700X, 3900X, 3950X etc.
Yannikau#9606: Yeah, should run fine. But he should get a new PSU asap
Budget#8265: What PSU actually is it?
Miljan#7510: No clue
Budget#8265: Id ask for a photo
Budget#8265: Cause last thing you want is him blowing up his system due to a shite PSU
Miljan#7510: He says it's a "mission q 550"
Yannikau#9606: That sounds awful
Budget#8265: i have never heard of it
Miljan#7510: Yup
Budget#8265: Sold only in Russia apparnetly
Budget#8265: Oh fuck
Miljan#7510: It ran his fx4300 and a 1050ti
Budget#8265: Its an ACE Rebrand |
Budget#8265: That thing is a fire hazard
Budget#8265: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/705058765921320980/unknown.png
JustinXenyx#8854: let me guess, his 4300 + 1050ti rig was a prebuilt? @Miljan
Budget#8265: Its an ACE PSU
Miljan#7510: No
Budget#8265: Fella what has this gotta power cause these things kill systems
JustinXenyx#8854: where the hell did he find such a shit PSU
JustinXenyx#8854: AND WHY THE FUCK DID HE BUY FX
Budget#8265: THat was his old PC
Miljan#7510: Yeah
Budget#8265: FX had a buying point at one point
Budget#8265: What are his new specs
Budget#8265: Cause he is dangerously close to killing them with this PSU
JustinXenyx#8854: I don't think his FX PC is old enough to be justifiably bought
Miljan#7510: R5 2600x and his old 1050ti |
JustinXenyx#8854: It has a 1050Ti and i doubt that was an upgrade
Budget#8265: I wouldnt put that with that PSU though
Budget#8265: Nah the FX4300 bottlenecked my old HD7770
Budget#8265: It will big a huge improvement
JustinXenyx#8854: Budget that's not what i mean
Budget#8265: Tell him to get a new PSU @Miljan Cause itll work but if that PSU blows itll kill his system most likely
Yannikau#9606: U can use that PSU as firecracker on new years eve tho
JustinXenyx#8854: I meant that his system was very likely built with the 1050Ti
Budget#8265: Unless he upgraded
Budget#8265: I had FX4300 and R9 285
Budget#8265: I suppose GTX1000 series is a bit much to pair with FX tho
Budget#8265: So i getchu
Miljan#7510: His original pc was an fx4300 with a hd6000 something, he bought a 1050ti and now bought the cpu mobo and all of that
Budget#8265: Thought so
Budget#8265: But yeah thats the best advice we can give. |
1. The PSU will likely blow up at some point and take out the system. Its a Russian Rebrand of a PSU called ACE which is renown for killing systems
2. You can power an 8Pin Mobo with a 4Pin CPU Connector....
3. DO NOT USE THAT PSU PLZ
Budget#8265: Please buy a new one 😄
Budget#8265: Case closed on this one lads
Yannikau#9606: There are garbage SIs that build weird configs like that tho
JustinXenyx#8854: ^which is what i was assuming
JustinXenyx#8854: 4300 + 1050Ti usually is a cheapo or scam prebuilt combo
Budget#8265: That PSU is sold for £17 NEW...
Budget#8265: ooft
Miljan#7510: Alright, thanks for the help
Budget#8265: np |
Bwenfwake#6869: ay lads.... Reckon I can record PC stuff using a CCTV capture card?

JustinXenyx#8854: Legit wouldn't bother
JustinXenyx#8854: why you want a capture card anyway
Bwenfwake#6869: RIP, PCI-E tho with VGA inputs.... You are prolly correct tbf
Bwenfwake#6869: I wanna record switch gameplay
Bwenfwake#6869: or phone gameplay etc
JustinXenyx#8854: Get an elgato camlink then
Bwenfwake#6869: lemme google
Bwenfwake#6869: tbf, quite expensive. Nah was just curious because it was so cheap. Cheers tho
JustinXenyx#8854: well HDMI capturing hardware is rather cheap for what it is tbh

Caleb - XPuser#7247: Does anybody know of a good PSU for powering an Athlon XP? I'm currently using a PSU that powered my NEC Ready 9883 and it works fine, but the PSU is over 20 years old now and I'd like to upgrade the GPU and right now it can't supply enough power for a GPU upgrade.
Budget#8265: £7 FSP Group

FuckinReece#0021: How good would you guys say a core 2 quad is for browsing the internet net and general use
tdp2612#3835: Eh not great
tdp2612#3835: You can somewhat get away with it, it'll be a bit slow on bigger sites like youtube
tdp2612#3835: However really heavy sites are completely off limits, like mine can barely manage google drive
tdp2612#3835: If you arent trying to do a modernish retro system with XP or win7, dont bother with c2qs anymore
tdp2612#3835: Spend the bit more, get 1155
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: @tdp2612 And that's on an SSD?
SuSSudio#2688: > How good would you guys say a core 2 quad is for browsing the internet net and general use
I use C2Q Q9450. Browsing in general is fine, no major issues. In terms of video playback, it still keeps up with 1080p videos.
System is definitely snappy when not much running in the background, however performance will start getting impacted when you have many programs running in the background. |
En/decompressing/en/transcoding is probably not what'd you expect in a very old cpu like C2Q. While it does 'quick' enough in smaller files, it struggles with bigger files. could take up several mins or even hours to finish up.
You wouldn't want to render with this cpu either, same reason as above. Unless if you get the faster variants like Q9650 or even Xeon X5470. Even those will still take longer times than its successors.
FuckinReece#0021: Thanks
FuckinReece#0021: Really just got a p5k mobo for free and want to see how it will do if I do my school shit on it
SuSSudio#2688: If you're only doing some office tasks, it shouldn't be a problem. Atleast put 2x2GB RAM in it, making a total of 4GB.
FuckinReece#0021: Thanks that really helps
FuckinReece#0021: how good is a 9500 gt
Jam#0384: It will display video and watch videos at maybe 720p
Jam#0384: but not very good
Jam#0384: for anything new
SuSSudio#2688: 9500GT is a bit weak for modern usage. if you don't plan on gaming i'd suggest atleast 1GB G/DDR3 GT430/530.
If you can find an R7 240/250 for a good price (under 40$), get either of those. |
Muse#0557: Wouldn't a 7770 be a much better option for that price bracket
SLJ#9246: is it worth installing windows 7 onto my old laptop to get better performance in games like gta 5?
fairly sure that on windows 10 the game has a texture pop in problem
SLJ#9246: (it isn't exactly the best laptop anyway, but I saw a video with near identical specs, a worse cpu even, running the game at around 30fps with no pop in problems)
JustinXenyx#8854: Specs? @SLJ
JustinXenyx#8854: And how old is the video that you saw? (also, keep in mind that some of those internet benches aren't exactly trustworthy)
SLJ#9246: AMD A6-3430MX with integrated Radeon 6520g. I doubled the RAM to 8GB
SLJ#9246: I'll check
JustinXenyx#8854: Oh yeah you're bound to have texture pop-in issues with GTA V
JustinXenyx#8854: The issue is with the processor and it's architecture that makes it behave similarly to a dual core CPU in GTA V
SLJ#9246: hmm, any way to get around the pop-in? overclock, OS switch etc?
SLJ#9246: oh yeah the video is old, 2015
JustinXenyx#8854: As harsh as it sounds, new computer
JustinXenyx#8854: OS Switch or overclocking aren't going to help if it's an issue with the CPU itself
JustinXenyx#8854: See, with how the architecture of your processor is built it technically is not a quad core |
JustinXenyx#8854: It's more like a dual core with hyperthreading to simplify it
JustinXenyx#8854: And it's not a very good dual core with hyperthreading.
SLJ#9246: Oh man, I see
JustinXenyx#8854: And GTA V is notorious for annihilating lower end dual cores and lower end hyperthreaded dual cores, especially with the newer updates
SLJ#9246: 😬
JustinXenyx#8854: Like in 2015 you might have gotten the game to run semi-decently (even then you had some issues related to texture pop in etc but not as harsh) but in 2020 you pretty much have no chance anymore
SLJ#9246: sure love when Rockstar doesn't focus on optimization
JustinXenyx#8854: Rockstar focused on Optimization pretty well i'd say. It's just that even back then the dual cores barely had a chance of running it well, the updates just made it fall off the cliff further
CaptainFlanger#2563: They're just making the game bigger and bigger and slowly annihilating older or lower end hardware.
SLJ#9246: seems like it
CaptainFlanger#2563: It's like CSGO.
CaptainFlanger#2563: Back then in 2012, it ran on a potato.
SLJ#9246: and now it barely runs on a potato
JustinXenyx#8854: > They're just making the game bigger and bigger and slowly annihilating older or lower end hardware.
I doubt that to be quite fair. Hardware that was capable of running GTA V well in 2015 will still run it perfectly well in 2020 |
JustinXenyx#8854: It's just the hardware that was barely capable of running it in 2015 that got smashed pretty badly
CaptainFlanger#2563: It reaaaally depends on what hardware.
CaptainFlanger#2563: But yeah, hardware that barely capable of running during release launch will suffer.
SLJ#9246: *I'm still tempted to try the game on Windows 7 just for shits and giggles as I like messing with older PCs like this*
CaptainFlanger#2563: *safe to say that my Ivy Bridge processor still runs GTA fine today.*
SLJ#9246: my main rig runs the game just fine, but the online casino brings it down to 30fps
CaptainFlanger#2563: Yo, I like messing around with old hardware too.
SLJ#9246: I have pretty much the exact same cpu and gpu as you
SLJ#9246: i7 3770k with a 3gig 1060
CaptainFlanger#2563: Oh, really? What a coincidence.
SLJ#9246: finished HL:A on this set up just fine hehe
JustinXenyx#8854: > my main rig runs the game just fine, but the online casino brings it down to 30fps
You really don't want to test with online tbh, it really struggles above 16 players because Rockstar were too cheap to host actual servers for GTA V and made the game Peer2Peer
SLJ#9246: Yeah that's ass
JustinXenyx#8854: Like, i love GTA Online, but it really fucks with performance testing and can't be replicated accurately |
JustinXenyx#8854: Also: How did HL:A run on the 3GB 1060? Any major issues with that? @SLJ
CaptainFlanger#2563: GTA online is ridiculous. Especially the Diamond Casino.
JustinXenyx#8854: how much RAM do you have? Cause that might have helped the 3GB 1060 aswell by offloading VRAM into regular system RAM
SLJ#9246: 16gb of ram dual channel
CaptainFlanger#2563: Damn... I only have 8.
SLJ#9246: it runs pretty okay, I didn't get sick while playing it
SLJ#9246: low fidelity settings are your best bet but I can run it fairly well on high fidelity
SLJ#9246: depending on the situation it drops frames
CaptainFlanger#2563: I don't mind frame rate on newer titles.
SLJ#9246: but I didn't mind whatsoever
CaptainFlanger#2563: *(especially The Outer Worlds)*
JustinXenyx#8854: > I don't mind frame rate on newer titles.
You really want to mind framerate on VR depending on how you are with motion sickness and VR (and to some extent simulator) sickness
CaptainFlanger#2563: Oh.
CaptainFlanger#2563: I don't have VR. :crome: |
JustinXenyx#8854: lol, but still
SLJ#9246: I'm experienced with VR and I didn't get sick playing it on slightly lower framerates
JustinXenyx#8854: VR can fuck you up pretty badly with some harsh frame drops if you aren't used to VR
CaptainFlanger#2563: But for VR, high frame rate is a must.
SLJ#9246: you can tweak the settings through a config file if you really want that extra fps
JustinXenyx#8854: Not even really high frame rates, but stable frame rates
CaptainFlanger#2563: Yeah...
SLJ#9246: I haven't checked how much FPS I get, but I could happily play it for hours on end
SLJ#9246: still, I'm looking to invest in better hardware eventually
CaptainFlanger#2563: Same. I'm not going to stay with this old 1155 for too long.
CaptainFlanger#2563: I'm starting to drop frames on OBS.
CaptainFlanger#2563: Again.
SLJ#9246: ¯\\_(ツ)\_/¯
SLJ#9246: I'll give the windows 7 idea a shot anyway, feeling a bit nostalgic for it lol
CaptainFlanger#2563: It ran better on older hardware, maybe. |
SLJ#9246: sheer willpower and a lucky chance can do wonders for gaming on older less powerful hardware
CaptainFlanger#2563: Yeah...
Budget#8265: GTA Online shoulda stayed 16 players

jojosensei#4198: Would it be worth to bother for a refurb elitedesk sff (I know it's bad) I5 4570 vpro (?) 8go ram and 500hdd w10 pro for 40 bucks ?
JustinXenyx#8854: For 40 dollars definitely not bad but keep in mind that getting an upgrade to a i7 or so isn't worth it because people keep selling them for way too much @jojosensei
jojosensei#4198: I'm not sure I understood what is your advice ^^ |
jojosensei#4198: By the way do you know what is Vpro CPU ?
JustinXenyx#8854: vPro isn't a CPU itself
JustinXenyx#8854: vPro is some intel branding for something that wikipedia probably explains better than i could
JustinXenyx#8854: My advice in simple words: The Elitedesk is pretty decently priced but upgrading it to a better processor like a haswell i7 is going to be difficult or pointless because the haswell i7 processors are sold for way more money than they are actually worth
Alcyone#2233: at 40 bucks for the whole thing it may be worth popping in a 1650 and ssd leaving the rest alone
jojosensei#4198: yep won't upgrade it I think
Alcyone#2233: if you plan on upgrading a system beyond that I wouldnt start with an oem
jojosensei#4198: Yes It's just for having something to play better than my shitty laptop
JustinXenyx#8854: If you buy that HP computer the next thing you should buy for it is an SSD if you do not already have one that you can put inside the HP and after that a graphics card upgrade like a 1650
JustinXenyx#8854: Given that it is a SFF computer you're quite limited with graphics card upgrades aswell, but a 1650 probably suits you plenty with a 4th generation i5
Alcyone#2233: might be bios issues with running a brand new gpu, but haswell isnt that old
jojosensei#4198: Could go with an older gpu if needed
JustinXenyx#8854: Yeah but you have to keep in mind that you're probably limited to low profile graphics cards
JustinXenyx#8854: so getting older ones might be a little more expensive than a normal card
jojosensei#4198: Yep watching for 1050 or 950 750 |
Alcyone#2233: might need a better psu for that which is probably some weird oem design or a flex atx in a slim tower
jojosensei#4198: It says 320 w
JustinXenyx#8854: 320W is more than plenty for a 4th gen i5 and a low profile GPU
Alcyone#2233: oh I meant an old gpu
JustinXenyx#8854: I would recommend skipping the low profile 950, since not a lot of people have bought it and it is worse than a normal 950 since the low profile one is being power limited compared to the regular 950 @jojosensei
JustinXenyx#8854: And given that not a lot of people own a SFF 950 the chances of you finding one (and finding one cheap for that matter) is going to be difficult as fuck
Alcyone#2233: 1050 ti would be the min I'd want for a gaming pc, mabbe a rx 560 i dunno how they perform
JustinXenyx#8854: Given he is upgrading from a lower spec laptop even a 750 is going to be a massive jump
jojosensei#4198: Found people selling 750/ ti for around 20.
jojosensei#4198: It might be enought for what I play
jojosensei#4198: > oh I meant an old gpu
@Alcyone What did you mean ?
JustinXenyx#8854: He was thinking of other older gpus that need external power
JustinXenyx#8854: But they wouldn't fit inside of an SFF pc anyway
Alcyone#2233: hold my riser cable and watch this |
Alcyone#2233: ive put full size cards in slim tower and itx by laying them on their side and zipties for mounting
Alcyone#2233: well full height, usually still requires a smallish card that isnt too thicc
jojosensei#4198: ok thanks, so just an SSD and a 750 1050. Will try to get this PC.
jojosensei#4198: Didn't get that one but got a dell sff 7010 for the same price with i5 3470, 6go ram, 1to hdd and amd radeon hd 7000
Jam#0384: Replace the HD 7000
Jam#0384: SFF is iffy. You now have to spend more money on your graphics card
jojosensei#4198: Will try get a low profile 750
JoshTheTechie#2808: Does anyone know if it is worth upgrading a hp pavilion dv7-1135ea? I currently use it for coursework and wanted it to be a bit faster and handle some of the programs I use for more course a bit better

JustinXenyx#8854: Also: achieving the ratings themselves isn't hard but making a quality PSU is hard
Deleted User#0000: How so?
JustinXenyx#8854: It's an efficiency thing
JustinXenyx#8854: Your PSU can be efficient but still use shit components |
Deleted User#0000: Yeah i guess
Deleted User#0000: The build does look trash irl thougg
Deleted User#0000: The 212 just adds pointless ass lights https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/705520323008921711/IMG-20200429-WA0012.jpg

TheGeekster#8508: they'll be quiet... and not LED
Deleted User#0000: Will they channel more air?
Deleted User#0000: I legit dont have a clue
TheGeekster#8508: eh possibly? depends what fans you have, but the bequiet fans are designed to move air quietly
UKVamp#9361: damn taste the rainbow with that build
Deleted User#0000: Yeah lmao
Deleted User#0000: Id have gone with some patriot vipers if it were my build
Deleted User#0000: Trident Zs still look cool though i cant really deny that
Deleted User#0000: The static blue exhaust fan is aids
Jam#0384: I dont like random LEDs
Jam#0384: Keep the colors consistent or don’t use LEDs/RGB at all |
tdp2612#3835: i dont think you can turn off the lights in the 212 rgb
tdp2612#3835: you either get the normal one, or one with red leds
tdp2612#3835: its not even rgb its just plain red afaik
SLJ#9246: i changed the OS on my old laptop to windows 7 and no more texture pop in on gta 5
SLJ#9246: *it works, but at what cost?*
thatubuntuguy#5914: can get some argb strips cheap off ebay
thatubuntuguy#5914: and snip the led wires going to the 212 fans
thatubuntuguy#5914: that's what i did
KingGaurav#4771: So I have this installer to a Virtual SCSI driver that SHOULD work on Windows XP, however when I try to launch the installer it says its not a Win32 application
on my host os I can launch it
KingGaurav#4771: but in my Windows XP vm it gives the above error

FuckinReece#0021: what do you guys think of the pc i built for free
FuckinReece#0021: its got a q660
FuckinReece#0021: nvidia quadro 600 |
FuckinReece#0021: 1.5gb ddr2
FuckinReece#0021: and a p5k pro mobo
FuckinReece#0021: with a really janky tower cooler
FuckinReece#0021: and an 80 plus 350 watt psu
Jam#0384: its a PC
Jam#0384: thats for sure
Jam#0384: for free- not bad
Jam#0384: for gayming bad but still good for free
Muse#0557: The quadro is the weakest link
Lady Mipha#0611: and the ram
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: 1,5GB in 2020 LOL.
SuSSudio#2688: Add more RAM, like 4GB atleast. in 2x2GB config
SuSSudio#2688: Or 8GB in 4x2GB config if you can afford
Muse#0557: Dio I think the point is that it's all free
Lady Mipha#0611: yeah but look at the amount of ram he has @Muse |
Muse#0557: Ik
Muse#0557: It's obviously not a good amount
Muse#0557: But it's clearly not a main pc
Deleted User#0000: Nvm
Deleted User#0000: I have this HP workstation my younger brother has
And some recent events has happened where he won't need it anymore
I was wondering if you guys think its worth 98$
Nvm, its a dell workstation
CaptainFlanger#2563: What model?
CaptainFlanger#2563: I am curious.
Deleted User#0000: T3500
Deleted User#0000: And I already got it
Deleted User#0000: So I'm pretty excited about it
Deleted User#0000: Here are the specs
Deleted User#0000: it has a 1100 watt 80+ Silver PSU |
A Xeon w3250
in the 4 core range
And 8GB of ram
with a GTX 470 with 2GB of GDDR5 or 6 VRAM
CaptainFlanger#2563: Wait, Xeon W?
Deleted User#0000: Yes
CaptainFlanger#2563: That's sorta "recent".
SuSSudio#2688: No, that's 2009 Xeon W @CaptainFlanger
SuSSudio#2688: Xeon W3520, not 3250
CaptainFlanger#2563: Yeah, we just talked about it.
TheFifthAce#4128: @Deleted User 98$ is an awful price
Deleted User#0000: Can I hear your reasoning?
TheFifthAce#4128: it's a 4.8gt bloomfield cpu, its going to perform worse than pretty much any sandy chip
TheFifthAce#4128: gtx 470 is wholly useless
TheFifthAce#4128: like for 98$ I would've totally sent you a rig with an i5, 8gb ram, and an RX 470 |
Deleted User#0000: Why does Amused and other people think its a good value whereas you think it isn't because you can offer cheaper prices.
TheFifthAce#4128: whos amused
JustinXenyx#8854: It's pretty trashy to be fair
TheFifthAce#4128: thats an awful price
JustinXenyx#8854: and a GTX470 is nowhere near having GDDR6 lmao
CaptainFlanger#2563: We already discussed this. It's a GDDR5. It's a typo.
TheFifthAce#4128: you can get an i5 rig without a PSU and GPU for like 30$ pretty easily, pop in a PSU for 20$, grab a GPU for the remaining 50$
JustinXenyx#8854: > GDDR5 or 6 VRAM
it clearly as fuck isn't lol @CaptainFlanger
Deleted User#0000: With how prices are now a' days?
TheFifthAce#4128: yes
TheFifthAce#4128: easily
TheFifthAce#4128: youre in america
Deleted User#0000: Oh well
JustinXenyx#8854: The problem is, it's not necesarily a bad computer |
JustinXenyx#8854: But you bought it at an awful price
TheFifthAce#4128: 40$? I could see it then
CaptainFlanger#2563: He gets what he gets, man. Unless if he wants to play AAA titles, this computer is alright.
TheFifthAce#4128: its not alright, its a bad price
JustinXenyx#8854: If it was like 40-50 dollars or so i wouldn't be complaining but for almost $100 it's a decently sized rip off
Deleted User#0000: There are mixed comments about the price
TheFifthAce#4128: the people who are saying its a good price know nothing about the used market
Deleted User#0000: But you are being unjust, its a 4 core 8 thread processor
TheFifthAce#4128: its a 4.8gts bloomfield cpu
JustinXenyx#8854: It's a 4 core 8 thread CPU on an 11 year old platform that is outdated to shit
JustinXenyx#8854: And you have it in a prebuilt aswell, so no overclocking
TheFifthAce#4128: the i5 2400 THRASHES it
TheFifthAce#4128: the i5 2400 beats it multicore
Deleted User#0000: *Was on FX, Screamed at. Now on 1366, still gets screamed at*
TheFifthAce#4128: despite having half the threads |
TheFifthAce#4128: thats how awful 4.8gt bloomfield is
JustinXenyx#8854: FX was outright awful, but the 1366 was just a bad purchase at the price
Deleted User#0000: http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/124/Intel_Core_i5_i5-2400_vs_Intel_Xeon_W3520.html
JustinXenyx#8854: Hell, if it was not a prebuilt i wouldn't be complaining that much about the price
Deleted User#0000: Its better than a i5 2400
TheFifthAce#4128: ..that site doesnt have any benchmarks
TheFifthAce#4128: any
Deleted User#0000: Then find me benchmarks
Deleted User#0000: And stop complaining
TheFifthAce#4128: you're almost as bad as the dollar deal tech guy lmao
JustinXenyx#8854: But given that it IS a prebuilt you can't overclock and you probably can't upgrade a lot either
TheFifthAce#4128: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/705704095431917588/unknown.png
Deleted User#0000: Because I wanted to buy something with my own money makes me a bad person?
TheFifthAce#4128: here you go
TheFifthAce#4128: a fuck ton of benchmarks |
JustinXenyx#8854: > Because I wanted to buy something with my own money makes me a bad person?
@Deleted User That's not what we are implying
TheFifthAce#4128: I'm saying you should return that system
JustinXenyx#8854: We're saying at 100 USD you could have bought something better
TheFifthAce#4128: and buy something much more usable
TheFifthAce#4128: dude even the i3 2120 is 5gt/s
TheFifthAce#4128: 4.8gt with wack stepping is mega cringe
Muse#0557: Where are you gonna find a i3 full sized desktop with a good psu and cash left over for a 470 equivalent
Muse#0557: Honestly its just an alright deal
Muse#0557: its not like he spent an extra 60 bucks
Muse#0557: to get half performance
TheFifthAce#4128: he DID though
TheFifthAce#4128: the GTX 470 will perform easily less than half the performance of an rx 470
Muse#0557: what?
Muse#0557: well duh |
TheFifthAce#4128: ??
TheFifthAce#4128: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/705705467451801678/unknown.png
TheFifthAce#4128: HE DID
JustinXenyx#8854: @Muse from what i understand, abstract was in talks with soul to send him a i5 + RX470 machine for like 100 bucks or so
Muse#0557: so he was supposed to get a desktop with a good psu
Muse#0557: oh right
JustinXenyx#8854: so like
JustinXenyx#8854: He clearly had a better offer on his hand
Muse#0557: yeh but thats a stand out offer
Deleted User#0000: You never said anything about a RX 470
Deleted User#0000: You said about GT 1030
TheFifthAce#4128: I thought I mentioned it , original thing was like 50$ for a 1030 one
Muse#0557: doesnt make what he got bad
TheFifthAce#4128: it does
Muse#0557: Relative yeh |
Muse#0557: but in the grand scheme
Muse#0557: its alright
JustinXenyx#8854: in the grand scheme it's even more of a meme build IMO, given that it is a prebuilt machine and he can't do a lot of overclocking
TheFifthAce#4128: i5 2400 + 8gb + 250gb/500gb hdds are 30$ all the time, I can find them on ebay, on craigslist, on facebook, etc. I can find them in any basically any US state. 380w bronze PSus are under 20$ and more than enough for a 470 or something. 50$ left for a mining 470, an hd series card, gtx 770, honestly anything is better than a fucking fermi card
JustinXenyx#8854: If it was a regular 1366 PC he could've done some decent overclocking and probably do some upgrades easier, but with the prebuilt he can essentially upgrade the GPU and after that no upgrade really makes sense beyond that
Muse#0557: what overclocking is he gonna be doing on a h61 anyway
TheFifthAce#4128: ??
TheFifthAce#4128: where did overclocking come into this
Muse#0557: Justin said it
TheFifthAce#4128: oh yeah
Muse#0557: Also an x58 board costs as much as the whole tower rn
TheFifthAce#4128: thats because 1366 would need the OC to catch up to STOCK 1155
JustinXenyx#8854: Don't wrong quote me lmao, i said if it was a regular 1366 PC
JustinXenyx#8854: H61 isn't LGA1366
Muse#0557: Just sorta mixing things up |
Muse#0557: because you are both sorta in agreement
Muse#0557: then within the time i respond you both go down your own option pathes
JustinXenyx#8854: If saying it once and finally makes it any clearer, here: I think for the money he could have gotten a much better machine and him having a prebuilt on LGA1366 makes the better machine argument for the price even clearer
JustinXenyx#8854: 1366 is pretty trashy due to missing instruction sets, old architecture etc etc and NEEDS the overclocking to catch up with more modern machines
TheFifthAce#4128: he should immediately try to return the machine
Muse#0557: I think the biggest factor was the cost of convience
Muse#0557: Worse value in orde
Muse#0557: order to get a pc right this second
Muse#0557: that is still a significant upgrade
JustinXenyx#8854: that is called an impulse purchase™️
JustinXenyx#8854: :Hahahahaha:
Muse#0557: not wanting to wait 2 weeks for bits to show is impulse?
Muse#0557: he can get a w3565 for literal pocket change and slot in an rx 470 later
Muse#0557: so that would improve things alot
TheFifthAce#4128: and that w3565 would still mostly get stomped by a stock i5 2400 |
JustinXenyx#8854: > not wanting to wait 2 weeks for bits to show is impulse?
I was joking, jesus christ people
Muse#0557: ok?
jojosensei#4198: What would be some low profile GPU worth getting for a 240w psu ?
thatubuntuguy#5914: 1650?
thatubuntuguy#5914: depends on budget
thatubuntuguy#5914: how much you looking to spend
JustinXenyx#8854: GTX 750, GT 1030, GTX 750Ti, 1050, 1050Ti, 1650
thatubuntuguy#5914: ^
JustinXenyx#8854: Those are pretty much the options you really have
JustinXenyx#8854: low profile 950 is going to be tricky and not a lot better than a 750ti
JustinXenyx#8854: 1030 is pretty much the cheapest newest alternative for a LP gpu, while performing roughly inbetween a 750 and 750Ti
JustinXenyx#8854: Because you guessed it, i listed them after performance not price
JustinXenyx#8854: 1030 is going to be the easiest to pick up all-round but you could score a great deal on a GTX750 or 750Ti
JustinXenyx#8854: If your SFF PCs motherboard has a PCIe slot with limited power around the 25-35w mark the 1030 is pretty much your only option |
jojosensei#4198: Don't know for now it's a optiplex 7010 sff
jojosensei#4198: What would be a good price for 750 or ti ?
JustinXenyx#8854: Depends where you live
JustinXenyx#8854: Ideally, not more than a 1030 costs new/used and about where a normal 750/Ti would be
JustinXenyx#8854: @TheFifthAce Opti 7010 SFF mobo PCIe power cucked or nah?
JustinXenyx#8854: I can't quite remember and the motherboard doesn't indicate a limited power slot being there
jojosensei#4198: I missed an elitedesk 800 with a better CPU and 320w for the same price as this one
JustinXenyx#8854: Either way you got a good machine for your money so that's all that really matters
jojosensei#4198: Yep but that 240w
JustinXenyx#8854: In an SFF PC it really won't make much of a difference
JustinXenyx#8854: You probably wouldn't go above 180-ishW power usage in both scenarios
jojosensei#4198: Ok thanks because i've red that there could be problem with that even with low profiles gpu
TheFifthAce#4128: @JustinXenyx depends on the version
TheFifthAce#4128: if its the 24 pin no
TheFifthAce#4128: if its the weird 6/8 pin one yes |
jojosensei#4198: So if it's the 6 pin what will happen ?
Muse#0557: It means that the graphics card needs a fair bit of power
Muse#0557: And would exceed 180w
Muse#0557: And probably 240w
JustinXenyx#8854: @Muse Nope
JustinXenyx#8854: Means he would be limited to really low power cards like a 1030
JustinXenyx#8854: Because he is limited to low profile cards either way
JustinXenyx#8854: and LP cards (atleast the wide majority of them) do not have external power connectors
Muse#0557: Ik they dont
Muse#0557: But he asked if it did
Muse#0557: So...
Muse#0557: Ye
Muse#0557: Wait oh
Muse#0557: I understand
Muse#0557: I hate context changing based on one word from like 5 sentences ago |
