Muse#0557: and its not worth fathing around Muse#0557: if they can just stay there being semi pointless Muse#0557: Ive gotten rid of the 9590 and put the 8350 in its place Muse#0557: what else needs adjusting JustinXenyx#8854: I still think that anything without modern instructions has no point being there JustinXenyx#8854: > See i dont think thats a relevant cpu referring to your own wording, they have basically 0 relevancy Muse#0557: Personally i use a x3440 and havent touched many super modern games Muse#0557: can see atleast a few people sharing this position Muse#0557: they arent doing any harm by being there Muse#0557: would rather be inclusive than exclusive Muse#0557: 🙏 JustinXenyx#8854: They still don't hold any relevancy though Muse#0557: Then lets worry about the cpus that do hold relevancy and are in the wrong place JustinXenyx#8854: 7700K, 6700K, 3300X 1600X, 5820K and 6700K all need to shuffle around
Muse#0557: In what way? Muse#0557: I think the 7700k needs to go up JustinXenyx#8854: 7700K, 6700K and 3300X trade position with the 6800K and 5820K and the 1600X needs to go up Muse#0557: put the 5820k above the 3300x and 7700k? JustinXenyx#8854: Yup Muse#0557: but its about the speed of a 1600 TheFifthAce#4128: 5820k should definitely be below 3300x TheFifthAce#4128: nobody should be buying x99 Muse#0557: not even about buying Muse#0557: the 3300x slams a 5820k TheFifthAce#4128: 5820k is garbo Muse#0557: i bet in productivity Muse#0557: not just games JustinXenyx#8854: Nah, even with Haswell-E i think the 5820K over all has a leg up JustinXenyx#8854: 4c/8t isn't getting any better as time goes on
TheFifthAce#4128: 5820k is haswell JustinXenyx#8854: right, Haswell-E TheFifthAce#4128: 22nm TheFifthAce#4128: haswell Muse#0557: A 5820k does not go above a 3300x Muse#0557: its essentially a 1600 TheFifthAce#4128: 3300x destroys the 5820k Muse#0557: 6800k is nearly a 1600x Muse#0557: even then the 1600x is worse than the 7700k and 6700k in gaming by a chunk JustinXenyx#8854: well that's why i said 1600x and 5820K and 6800k on the same position TheFifthAce#4128: gotta love how fucking garbage userbenchmark is TheFifthAce#4128: it lists the 5820k as faster than the 3300x despite showing the 3300x being faster Muse#0557: user benchmark thinks the 7740x is the best cpu ever TheFifthAce#4128: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/746844077751926845/unknown.png TheFifthAce#4128: like
TheFifthAce#4128: ??? TheFifthAce#4128: how is the 5820k =0% faster if the 3300x has far better single core JustinXenyx#8854: I defs think that CPU hierarchy will get rather difficult if we focus on too many things though TheFifthAce#4128: the 5820k is slower TheFifthAce#4128: just that simple JustinXenyx#8854: I think we'd be best off taking out HEDT platforms and focusing on gaming-only TheFifthAce#4128: its slower and to make it even close not only do you need watercooling but you need an expensive motherboard TheFifthAce#4128: like it draws 140w at base Muse#0557: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/746844472511561769/unknown.png TheFifthAce#4128: this list is stupid Muse#0557: Want it be a mix between productivity and gaming Muse#0557: oof JustinXenyx#8854: 7740X goes out JustinXenyx#8854: literally 0 value having that one on there Muse#0557: Aight
TheFifthAce#4128: why is the i3 550 on there JustinXenyx#8854: 3300x being 2 classes above 3100 isn't fair either imo TheFifthAce#4128: and why doesnt it have the i3 JustinXenyx#8854: 3100 goes atleast with the 6700k Muse#0557: 3100 suffers from not having XFR2 a lot Muse#0557: yeh the 3100 goes up Muse#0557: to the 6700k TheFifthAce#4128: 4790k should bee mid lower TheFifthAce#4128: alongside the 3770k JustinXenyx#8854: 4790k and 4770k should be listed as one thing really TheFifthAce#4128: it draws too much power and outputs too much heat and costs too much to be put up any higher than lower mid range TheFifthAce#4128: a 3100 is faster and costs less Muse#0557: Its not about power Muse#0557: or being balanced TheFifthAce#4128: this entire list is stupid
Muse#0557: its about raw perf Muse#0557: im making a buyers guide down the road JustinXenyx#8854: if we talk about raw performance a 5820k would have to go up lmao TheFifthAce#4128: having a 'raw performance' graph is stupid FantaStick#8008: @TheFifthAce *saying whats on all of our minds* TheFifthAce#4128: because raw performance means nothing TheFifthAce#4128: this helps nobody TheFifthAce#4128: who is going to be helped by this graph Muse#0557: should of worded that better TheFifthAce#4128: a graph that scales performance alongside value would be infinitely more useful Muse#0557: Ordering cpus in order of performance based on a mix of gaming and productivity applications Muse#0557: That will come too ab TheFifthAce#4128: because while a 4790k is faster than a 3770k, it shouldn't be bought over a 4790k JustinXenyx#8854: > a graph that scales performance alongside value would be infinitely more useful @TheFifthAce well then all the HEDT platforms + cpus lacking modern instruction sets would have to go lmao
TheFifthAce#4128: this shouldnt be a graph TheFifthAce#4128: this should just be @Lumaterian's frequency/score chart Muse#0557: ._. TheFifthAce#4128: muse TheFifthAce#4128: what is the point TheFifthAce#4128: of making a shiny graph for this TheFifthAce#4128: if you arent including every cpu Lumaterian#3557: argh Lumaterian#3557: what Muse#0557: because people are lazy TheFifthAce#4128: @Lumaterian giv cpu chart TheFifthAce#4128: :hoes: Lumaterian#3557: which one TheFifthAce#4128: uh TheFifthAce#4128: I only remember the one
TheFifthAce#4128: :woag: Lumaterian#3557: like, the IPC chart? it's got holes TheFifthAce#4128: :woag: TheFifthAce#4128: ye Muse#0557: people are too lazy and up their own arses to go look at timespy and 3d mark benchmarks TheFifthAce#4128: thats why TheFifthAce#4128: you make a chart for it Muse#0557: ._ Lumaterian#3557: wait we talking cpu right TheFifthAce#4128: yes Muse#0557: give it to me and ill make it pretty Lumaterian#3557: well I can post what I got TheFifthAce#4128: hooray Muse#0557: rank them by points TheFifthAce#4128: yes muse
TheFifthAce#4128: that would be way more useful TheFifthAce#4128: having a vague "this is faster than this one so its in the next category up" is stupid Lumaterian#3557: 1 sec Muse#0557: will have to make a buyers guide also still Muse#0557: otherwise the 9960x or whatever Muse#0557: will look godly Lumaterian#3557: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/746847168647921714/IPC_Incomplete.png TheFifthAce#4128: very vibe Muse#0557: umm Lumaterian#3557: margin of error 0.25% Muse#0557: lots of big numbers Muse#0557: need to make sense of it Lumaterian#3557: except IVB, margin is like TheFifthAce#4128: wasnt there another chart TheFifthAce#4128: :woag:
Lumaterian#3557: 0.75% on those Lumaterian#3557: there's an actual cinebench score chart Muse#0557: thats just ipc tho Lumaterian#3557: lots of those Muse#0557: not specific cpus Lumaterian#3557: give me a minute I can give you all my firm data Muse#0557: tyu Muse#0557: ty Lumaterian#3557: some of my data is a little wonky Lumaterian#3557: I'll exclude that Muse#0557: aight cheif Lumaterian#3557: it's taking a minute lol Muse#0557: Can somebody make group chat with like the tech helpers and luma in so we can actually keep track of things Lumaterian#3557: @Muse @TheFifthAce https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/746852201363800198/Cinebench_Firm.png Lumaterian#3557: also this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/746852225456013362/SMT_Scaling.png
Muse#0557: I'll work on it tomorrow TheFifthAce#4128: very woag Lumaterian#3557: I have more data to add, and more stuff to math out Lumaterian#3557: and testing to finish on the R3 3100 Lumaterian#3557: but that's everything concrete I have right now Lumaterian#3557: all those have my lowest margin for error Lumaterian#3557: and the reason the steppings are included is different steppings have small but repeatable variation in scoring Muse#0557: Where is this data from Muse#0557: There's quite a lot of cpus Lumaterian#3557: my personal testing Lumaterian#3557: I don't use anyone else's numbers Lumaterian#3557: I try to keep it as controlled as possible Lumaterian#3557: but there are variables I can't control Muse#0557: You owned a 7800x Lumaterian#3557: not exactly
Lumaterian#3557: 7800X/7820X are the anomalies Lumaterian#3557: I disabled cores on 7900X Muse#0557: Ah Muse#0557: Did you sell the 7900x Lumaterian#3557: yes Muse#0557: Gotcha Lumaterian#3557: sadly before I did SMT testing Lumaterian#3557: those numbers *should* be accurate though Lumaterian#3557: since cinebench doesn't care about mesh gaps Lumaterian#3557: and disabling the cores turns off their L3 cache Lumaterian#3557: unlike on ring bus chips Muse#0557: Wish I had the money to just buy and sell cpus like mad Muse#0557: Get everything benched Lumaterian#3557: also of note Lumaterian#3557: the sandy-e testing was conducted on 3960X
Lumaterian#3557: but ivy-e was 4930K Lumaterian#3557: 15MB vs 12MB cache Lumaterian#3557: however Lumaterian#3557: I also tested 3930K and the numbers were identical to 3960X Lumaterian#3557: so 4930K *should* represent 4960X as well Lumaterian#3557: and some of the naming is a little weird like piledriver is FX-2 so I could fit it in the titlebar Muse#0557: I'll try compare your numbers on uncertain cpus to other reliable sources Lumaterian#3557: I have compared to hardware unboxed a couple times, they were pretty close Lumaterian#3557: sadly GN doesn't test cinebench Lumaterian#3557: I use realtime process priority and take the best result of 5 non-outlier runs Lumaterian#3557: and I compare scaling data between clockspeeds Lumaterian#3557: if something deviates too hard it's removed Lumaterian#3557: which is why Skylake-X has no results under 3.3GHz Lumaterian#3557: and why Broadwell-E stops at 3.6 mi3night#2562: I7 5960x users be like :yellow:
Lumaterian#3557: also if an AVX offset was available it was locked to zero Lumaterian#3557: of course Lumaterian#3557: and if turbo limits expired (for locked cpus) the run was scrapped Lumaterian#3557: 9400F sadly didn't make it into the chart at all mi3night#2562: Dude 😠 Lumaterian#3557: since I couldn't get the turbo limit to stop mi3night#2562: Why did u switch from 8700k to 3600. So you can make ez $150 mi3night#2562: I’m maddddd Lumaterian#3557: I just switched to i3 10100 Lumaterian#3557: more ez money Lumaterian#3557: part of the goal of all my testing is to figure out what the cheapest cpu I can use for my rig and still do everything I want is Lumaterian#3557: so far it's i3 10100 JustinXenyx#8854: i think it isn't even about having ez cash, when switching rigs quite often you can gather a lot of testing data Lumaterian#3557: yeah I buy low sell high Lumaterian#3557: I've actually made money gathering this data
FantaStick#8008: can confirm Alcyone#2233: scaliing seems good for the cpus ive used, this is 2700k@5ghz https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/746855928212750457/cb15-2700k.png Lumaterian#3557: I have a lot more data but some of it is a little wonky Lumaterian#3557: the numbers I've posted (with the possible exception of those X299 ones) I stand behind fully JustinXenyx#8854: All of my personal testing data is rather wonky lmao, because i don't try to stop any testing anomalies and don't test to 100% accuracy JustinXenyx#8854: Serves me 100% fine but the numbers would be useless compared to other testing data Alcyone#2233: i dont do any real testing, and if I did it would have no validity overall since I am pushiing max overclocks and its silicon+skill dependent Lumaterian#3557: my GPU testing is the best score I was able to achieve in a set of three benchmarks Lumaterian#3557: with the best OC I can get Lumaterian#3557: that one is a lot less scientific Lumaterian#3557: especially since gpu driver updates can change the performance Alcyone#2233: yes especially with older gpus Alcyone#2233: sometimes the latest isnt the best for a given synthetic Lumaterian#3557: I did my initial testing with my 5600 XT on my 8700K OCed to 4.8GHz with driver 20.4.2, then I tested again on i3 10100 at stock with driver 20.8.2 and 2nd config won Lumaterian#3557: I don't bother using older versions, I just grab the latest and fire away
Lumaterian#3557: but yeah hopefully my data is useful JustinXenyx#8854: Well that will be the exact opposite of what i'm going to do next week :haha: JustinXenyx#8854: Getting a fresh 580 next week and i'm gonna test driver stability relative to performance Lumaterian#3557: nice Alcyone#2233: Im usiing a r9 290 while I wait for the new cards. its been fine on all but the earliest 20.xx Alcyone#2233: 17.7.2 is the best driver for benchmarking though Lumaterian#3557: the only drivers I've ever had issues on were the amd beta drivers Lumaterian#3557: with my 580 Lumaterian#3557: was a 19.5 or so release Lumaterian#3557: the one driver comparison I ran was a 17.12 driver vs a 19.9 driver Lumaterian#3557: the 580 in question got like a 12% performance boost if I remember right Lumaterian#3557: in superposition (I think) Gamefreak924#5901: I know that there have been expresscard adapters for external gpu setups, but how come there hasn't been an expresscard with built in graphics, like processors do? Is there a limitation on it? I imagine it would make things easier, especially for older systems. JustinXenyx#8854: Quite a simple answer! JustinXenyx#8854: Nobody fucking wanted those!
JustinXenyx#8854: :Xdxdxd: Gamefreak924#5901: :/ JustinXenyx#8854: Don't think it's possible either because of form factor + power restriction Gamefreak924#5901: pretty sure expresscard provides some power JustinXenyx#8854: Oh and the most obvious idea why nobody would even attempt it: the massively restricted PCIe interface JustinXenyx#8854: > pretty sure expresscard provides some power Some power, but likely not enough for an eGPU Gamefreak924#5901: for something resembling Intel HD graphics, I don't see why not JustinXenyx#8854: "The ExpressCard standard specifies voltages of either 1.5 V or 3.3 V" that's an instant NOPE Gamefreak924#5901: oop xmassguy#1303: For those of you who play car mechanic simulator the recommended is an i-5 3.4ghz cpu and a gtx 970 I have a gtx 1060 6gb and an amd fx 8350 so why when i play on medium settings do i only get 30 fps in the game 30 fps is max not on a menu i also have 8gb of ram but with task manager open it shows my cpu at around 50%usage but my gpu is maxed out Dstroyer101ftw#6616: I was playing some Half-Life 2 earlier when the audio suddenly degraded in quality until it was silent and there was only static. Windows 10 registers sound as playing, but the most I can get are bloop noises from audio tests and crackles from other audio sources. Has my sound card died? Dstroyer101ftw#6616: I've been trying to reinstall my drivers all day but no matter which one I try to reinstall the problem persists Deleted User#0000: Have you tried taking it out of the PCIe slot and reinserting it? It's possible that it's somehow not making good contact Dstroyer101ftw#6616: It's a part of the mobo, so I can't remove it
Dstroyer101ftw#6616: I just used the troubleshooter to reinstall drives. I still have the static but windows doesn't register anything as plugged in Deleted User#0000: Oh, you've broken the onboard audio? Muse#0557: Taking out the pci-e slot Dstroyer101ftw#6616: I don't know if it's broken yet Dstroyer101ftw#6616: although most likely it is Deleted User#0000: I assumed that when they said 'sound card', they meant a PCIe sound card Deleted User#0000: Not onboard sound Muse#0557: Nvm Muse#0557: Am too tired to read properly Muse#0557: 4:47 gang Deleted User#0000: Ayyy Deleted User#0000: 4:48 now though Dstroyer101ftw#6616: I could try joining VC to see if my voice quality is changed Dstroyer101ftw#6616: keep in mind that it was already pretty bad Dstroyer101ftw#6616: no input for the microphone
Deleted User#0000: Is it the front panel audio or rear panel audio that's broken? Dstroyer101ftw#6616: front panel Dstroyer101ftw#6616: whenever I plug anything into the rear panel nothing happens Dstroyer101ftw#6616: doesn't even register as something being in there Deleted User#0000: Perhaps it's a problem with your device then? Dstroyer101ftw#6616: I could try opening it up and seeing if any cables are wonky Dstroyer101ftw#6616: there is dust or hair or something on the connector Deleted User#0000: Removing that would be a start Dstroyer101ftw#6616: will now I have a completely blue screen Dstroyer101ftw#6616: back to Black Dstroyer101ftw#6616: normal Windows 10 boot Dstroyer101ftw#6616: No static so far Dstroyer101ftw#6616: perfect sound Dstroyer101ftw#6616: i credit this victory to you Bwenfwake#6869: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HP-DL380P-Gen8-2-x-E5-2609-v2-16GB-530FLR-12-x-LFF-Rack-Server/264829825490

Xbox 360 1953#2640: Well maybe not a reason I'm looking for Xbox 360 1953#2640: More like, what about it isn't as good JustinXenyx#8854: Well the old memory generation already had time to optimize their processes etc etc Xbox 360 1953#2640: The reason I'm asking this is because now that we have better ddr4 than when it first became a thing I was wondering how itd compare to late ddr3 uoʇsodɾ#2412: Early DDR4 is worse than a well binned kit of late DDR3. uoʇsodɾ#2412: RAM latency has a lot to do with this. uoʇsodɾ#2412: My JEDEC DDR3L kit runs at 2133MHz 11-11-11-29-39. My XMP DDR4 defaults to 2400MHz 15-15-15-35-50, with JEDEC it defaults to 2133MHz 15-15-15-36-50. My JEDEC DDR3L kit has lower latency then my XMP DDR4 kit. uoʇsodɾ#2412: It is worth noting my DDR4 kit is for Haswell. Not even Skylake. It still works with newer CPU's they just where not out yet. uoʇsodɾ#2412: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/747321104418471936/unknown.png uoʇsodɾ#2412: JEDEC #5 is directly comparable for latency not bandwidth. uoʇsodɾ#2412: https://www.techspot.com/news/62129-ddr3-vs-ddr4-raw-bandwidth-numbers.html LaeMat#0420: Hello, my friend has an AMD Ryzen 3200G, and can’t play CSGO on Windows 10. Windows is activated, but every time he tries playing CSGO his PC blue screens with error “THREAD STUCK IN DEVICE DRIVER”, any ideas?
LaeMat#0420: He’s using the APU, no other GPU Alcyone#2233: ddu and reinstall the latest gpu driver LaeMat#0420: He has many times LaeMat#0420: Same result LaeMat#0420: Lemme see though D.D.M#8226: I think this is why it happens https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/747537794007564309/Screenshot_20200824-212757_Edge.jpg D.D.M#8226: Weird D.D.M#8226: Does that only happen with cs go? D.D.M#8226: Or other games LaeMat#0420: He said it only happened in CS LaeMat#0420: And one of the stuck threads was windows activation LaeMat#0420: so I **totally gave him a totally legal key** LaeMat#0420: which worked for him BigPierogi#3368: Windows activation shouldn't stop you from running a game though LaeMat#0420: Same error again

Bwenfwake#6869: Might be a good shout to update Bios if it is not up date date, he may be using an old BIOS with new drivers Bwenfwake#6869: Other than that, making sure windows has updated and he's got the right or up to date drivers LaeMat#0420: He’s trying old drivers since Vega 56 users say those work Bwenfwake#6869: Aight, it's also a good shout for him to try an sfc scannow Bwenfwake#6869: See if his install is messed up Bwenfwake#6869: Otherwise I got no idea for him LaeMat#0420: how does he do that Bwenfwake#6869: :facepalm: Lady Mipha#0611: put into a command prompt sfc /scannow @LaeMat LaeMat#0420: He’s already doing it LaeMat#0420: already resetting FantaStick#8008: when in doubt, reinstall windows Bwenfwake#6869: This is not always a feesable answer for most users though
Bwenfwake#6869: Especially not if they're not very tech savvy LaeMat#0420: He’s looked for the closest results to the same problems and both were fixed with a reset LaeMat#0420: After a reset it worked for a bit but same error LaeMat#0420: he’s trying scannow LaeMat#0420: He did it LaeMat#0420: And nothing helped LaeMat#0420: Didn’t work LaeMat#0420: He found the issue LaeMat#0420: His keyboard was causing it to crash Aihio#2991: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/747752326605045850/unknown.png Aihio#2991: Any recommendations to change something? vegetal#8870: get ssd vegetal#8870: and ryzen mayb MythologicalZ#3752: locked cml and single channel is not worth it, get ssd JustinXenyx#8854: I think you're definitely choosing wrong by going locked Intel with single channel and only hdd is also rather stupid
JustinXenyx#8854: The PSU isn't very high quality and the stock cooler isn't enough for the 10400F iirc JustinXenyx#8854: That case is so cheap it scares me Lady Mipha#0611: ^^^ JustinXenyx#8854: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/YpKptp Just for an example: this build over all is much more upgrade friendly as it has 4 memory slots over 2, already has double the memory on it, a much faster NVMe SSD, the case and power supply are also much improved while being about the same cost JustinXenyx#8854: Going lower than 16GB isn't really worth it in my opinion, given that 8GB really is becoming more of a minimum with modern gaming and 8GB isn't really all that much cheaper Lady Mipha#0611: ^^^^ that i can agree with JustinXenyx#8854: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/j3RvTC although i might spend another 6€ (making the whole thing just 16€ more expensive) to get a 1650 with much better ports JustinXenyx#8854: Alternatively buying a used graphics card is always an option, which would also help reduce costs further for buying a hard drive now instead of later on JustinXenyx#8854: But **BIG DISCLAIMER**: Nvidia and AMD are both supposed to release their new graphics cards sometime in the next couple months, which means buying a new graphics card now isn't really the thing you should go for, as they might be A. reduced in price with the new cards B. outclassed by a newer card for the same price and obviously C. the used market will be filled with people selling their old graphics cards for cheap, meaning you could possibly get a much better card or the same card for much cheaper TheFifthAce#4128: 8gb is not enough in 2020 vegetal#8870: its low end but enough imo Aihio#2991: Umm Aihio#2991: What is the cheapest recommendable PSU? JustinXenyx#8854: I think i wouldn't go below the System Power 9 Aihio#2991: What about Corsair VS650?
JustinXenyx#8854: That one is worse JustinXenyx#8854: And you don't need 650W either Aihio#2991: outervision.com/power-supply-calculator this site recommended it for me JustinXenyx#8854: If you need 650W you shouldn't be cheaping out on the PSU too JustinXenyx#8854: With either the Intel or AMD rig you wouldn't go above 300W realistically JustinXenyx#8854: Also, just to note this, the Intel rig would require more power than the AMD rig i've configured but neither go above 300W realistically Aihio#2991: Hmm aight then Aihio#2991: I think I have to wait a couple weeks till I purchase anything right now FantaStick#8008: Never use power supply calculator sites, they're all biased and misleading because they're affiliate marketing sites designed to make themselves money FantaStick#8008: Google power draw for CPU+GPU, add 50W for Mobo, fans and drives, and figure out a psu wattage with a nice little bit of overhead leewake9705#9644: @FantaStick thank you for this information because this is helpful for me. Baus#4058: lads a question Baus#4058: would you buy 3rd gen ryzen or wait for 4th Deleted User#0000: I'm waiting for 4th so I can get a discount on 3rd Baus#4058: hmm
Baus#4058: thats a very good strategy to be honest Deleted User#0000: I'm hoping to get a second hand CPU, a pretty cheap mobo and ram, and possibly an SSD to boot from if I can afford it FantaStick#8008: Yeah wait for 4th so that prices on 3rd drop, wishful thinking but if 3700x follows the same pattern the 2700x does I can get myself a horde of them for 130$ each lol FantaStick#8008: 4th isn't going to be too much of an improvement over 3rd as far as I can tell, maybe a few skus that hit 4.8 or something and minor IPC improvements, won't be worth it over whatever you will be able to get a 3rd gen chip for at that point FantaStick#8008: Also afaik b450 and x470 arent slated for official 4000 support (although that could easily change, maybe with a bios update that drops your OG zen support or something) Kacpreusz#7656: I don't know what os i should put on my laptop Kacpreusz#7656: It's a ThinkPad T420 with a second gen i5 2.5ghz, 3.2ghz turbo, i will upgrade it with 8gb of ram and a 256gb SSD Mike Gaming#2729: I don't need help but would anyone know why when ever I install grub boot loader arfter 3 goes it stops working Mike Gaming#2729: I don't have windows installed Mike Gaming#2729: And it's a arch install Gamefreak924#5901: If a laptop is only listed as able to support up to 4GB ram but people are able to get it to 6GB, is it safe? Gamefreak924#5901: I need quick help with this Gamefreak924#5901: Chipset says it only supports 4gb too Kacpreusz#7656: If it supports only 4gb, obviously 6gb won't work @Gamefreak924 Gamefreak924#5901: No, 6GB works for people
Gamefreak924#5901: Plenty have succeeded Muse#0557: I don't see 6gb working Gamefreak924#5901: Well it apparently does according to everyone who tried it online Gamefreak924#5901: Inspiron 1525 Racey#8574: yeah it works Kacpreusz#7656: Then try it, that won't break anything wiryfuture🦀#1706: i don;t understand how devices have ram limits wiryfuture🦀#1706: surely only the cpu has a limit on ram and the mobo wiryfuture🦀#1706: like, an artificial lock in the bios? BigPierogi#3368: I think its chipset related BigPierogi#3368: But I might be wrong Racey#8574: GM965 officially supports 4 GB maximum but everyone said fuck Intel and it supports 6 GB Racey#8574: 4+2 wiryfuture🦀#1706: :haha: Ramiere#1840: Whats a good wifi adapter? I want a reliable one the one i have turns off if I upload two things at once
JustinXenyx#8854: Generally, avoid USB wifi adapters @Ramiere JustinXenyx#8854: If you want a good one, you'll have to spend a decent dime to get a PCI-E one Gamefreak924#5901: USB adapters are good for cost, but reliability can take a hit Gamefreak924#5901: use pcie JustinXenyx#8854: They're not even good for the cost, the majority of them overheat like motherfuckers and can be bandwidth limited by USB 2 JustinXenyx#8854: Like even the cheapest PCI-E one will still kick the shit out of a similarly priced USB one Gamefreak924#5901: they're only like $15 Gamefreak924#5901: pcie is usually twice the amount Ramiere#1840: Bummer i dont think i have enough space for a pcie one but ill try it though and if it doesnt fit ill just send it back Thanks though JustinXenyx#8854: > pcie is usually twice the amount Which is **precisely** why i said "even the cheapest PCI-E one will still kick the shit out of a similarly priced USB one", because the cheapest PCI-E ones usually are around $10-15 Gamefreak924#5901: my pcie one was an Asus AC750 card Gamefreak924#5901: $30
Gamefreak924#5901: not top of the line, but good enough for my needs and cost Ramiere#1840: Do you have a specific one in mind? Dogecode#7321: I use a 12 year old Linksys USB dongle and it seems to work fine Muse#0557: Only use USB adapters if they are like 2 bucks and you're desperate Dogecode#7321: Then again I’m lucky to get 5-10 mbps on my connection so it doesn’t really matter Muse#0557: An old pcie card out of a workstation will slam any USB WiFi dongle Ramiere#1840: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/748016652649758730/image0.png Ramiere#1840: What do you guys think of this one Muse#0557: Honestly just go on ebay and find something out of a 1366 Workstation for 5 quid mi3night#2562: @Ramiere no no no mi3night#2562: That’s WiFi N adapter idk if it would even do 5g mi3night#2562: There’s 2 options. Either get a USB WiFi stick which is easiest mi3night#2562: Or get a intel AX200 plus the pcie adapter for it mi3night#2562: I would get ax200 because it would last a decade or so until like 20gbps becomes the norm and WiFi ax gets outdated Ramiere#1840: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/748064622812069929/image0.png

JustinXenyx#8854: The whole reason why SSDs are getting cheaper is flash innovation, although QLC really is trash technology right now FantaStick#8008: Sometimes they pop up on eBay pretty cheap FantaStick#8008: Don't worry FantaStick#8008: PLC is coming FantaStick#8008: Even less durability FantaStick#8008: But cheap as fuck I hope the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: what if ram started to do cells :JellyBeanFace: JustinXenyx#8854: PLC flash basically will replace hard drives lmao JustinXenyx#8854: @the aggresive toilet flusher That is not how it works the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: instead of *MORE RANK* the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: i know but what if JustinXenyx#8854: You'd need to have the most stupid theoretical scenario, because RAM would be devastated with multi-level flash technology given that it is RAM FantaStick#8008: Cheap PLC drives with shit controllers are probably gonna be just as slow as hard drives and definitely not worth it the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: o yeah speed FantaStick#8008: The better PLC drives could be worth it as secondary storage drives
JustinXenyx#8854: > Cheap PLC drives with shit controllers are probably gonna be just as slow as hard drives and definitely not worth it Well if everything goes according to plan it'll still be a decent bit faster than HDDs (especially in random access) while pretty much competing with them price wise the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: and harddrives will probably have a longer lifetime than plc FantaStick#8008: Lifespan is the main arguement against cheap PLC JustinXenyx#8854: I think it's a valid point, but only to an extent in the consumer space JustinXenyx#8854: If PLC can have decent enough reliability to the point where it isn't too far off a proper hard drive i don't think it will matter to consumers the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: hey and less mechanical parts to worry about FantaStick#8008: We will have to see FantaStick#8008: Depends a lot on which controllers they use FantaStick#8008: Cause some like to commit the die randomly the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: a400 moment JustinXenyx#8854: As long as we get no Phison S11 bullshit and PLC drives will have DRAM caching i think it'll be fine the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: is dram caching expensive? JustinXenyx#8854: it's not cheap, but i think the PLC flash will negate some of the cost for DRAM cache FantaStick#8008: Dram costs approximately 2.50 per GB
FantaStick#8008: So depending on how much cache you actually want to include the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: ur talking about slc?@FantaStick FantaStick#8008: No JustinXenyx#8854: SLC is flash, not DRAM FantaStick#8008: I just said dram the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: i meant caching for slc FantaStick#8008: Idk FantaStick#8008: Industry pricing for flash modules is not something I can obtain very easily the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: 2.5 sounds kinda expensive the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: nah the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: mah the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: thats cheap dram is like what 500 mega atmost FantaStick#8008: That's how much DRAM costs though FantaStick#8008: Used to cost over 7.50$ per GB FantaStick#8008: To put it in perspective
FantaStick#8008: Samsung uses a full 2GB of dram cache on their 970 Evo plus, so it costs them about 5$ to have that in there, plus extra for added components or higher quality dram and whatnot FantaStick#8008: So for a drive they MSRP for like 300$, dram seems pretty cheap to add in for me the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: yeah thats pretty cheap the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: maybe because supply? FantaStick#8008: Dram production is very good right now, and is expected to continue to get cheaper the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: idk about making them but a reason could be that making them in bulk isnt easy? FantaStick#8008: Dram pricing more or less follows ddr4 pricing FantaStick#8008: Because they're basically the same chips the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: so its not a supply issue FantaStick#8008: No the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: if its that cheap why dont all ssds have em FantaStick#8008: Unless you count ram price fixing the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: crappy controller that cant do caching ???? FantaStick#8008: Yeah controller needs to be able to take advantage of it FantaStick#8008: Small 1-2$ costs here and there add up
the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: what about something like the bx500 its bigger brother the mx500 is identical except slightly faster sequientials and has dram the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: same controller the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: why didnt they add dram tho FantaStick#8008: Costs savings the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: like why do manufactors do this FantaStick#8008: You have to segment the market the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: > Costs savings but thats trivial FantaStick#8008: It's not trivial the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: in bulk it isnt but FantaStick#8008: I could be stuck up and only sell dram drives for my higher profit margins on them FantaStick#8008: But then I lose money to other companies that make cheap 20$ drives that still make good profit FantaStick#8008: I don't want to lose out on that space FantaStick#8008: So I cut down what I can and segment my product stack FantaStick#8008: To get money in all corners of the market
the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: what if they advertise it right FantaStick#8008: Advertise what the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: dram for consumers FantaStick#8008: Hey other companies: were undercutting all of you and now the price war starts and we all lose profit margins now? FantaStick#8008: Product segmentation is necessary in competition the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: hmm i imagined a more piecefull : hey consumer our company is different we offer the dram they offer the scam FantaStick#8008: Yeah other companies are not going to be cool about that the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: xD the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: ~~and it ryhmes too~~ leewake9705#9644: Nice Bwenfwake#6869: The Phi is alive https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/748175441298456666/IMG_20200826_143757.jpg Bwenfwake#6869: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/748175468422889527/IMG_20200826_143943.jpg leewake9705#9644: Nice Racey#8574: Epic DarknessFalls229#2286: @MythologicalZ cant get 3way working

JustinXenyx#8854: They work, but they're a "seperate" network JustinXenyx#8854: same internet and everything, but new log-in info for the extended one the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: https://youtu.be/JxczZChFaZI the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: my man steve back at it the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: he did like what 5 , 6???? b550 vids xD he did low end x570 vs b550 ( one b550 single handedly beat most boards period x570 included) best b450 vs b550 ( interesting low end b550) b350 vs b450 vs b550 scaling ( and one b550 manged to fuck up so bad that the b350 tomahawk matched it)
b550 round up 1 ( sumary 2 or 3 boards disapoin iirc and most boards are fine for a 3950 and some even 3950 oc) b550***M*** round up (round up2) (some of em are crappy as hell and the best ones are decent but not as good as their bigger non m parts, no surprise m boards have worst vrms than non m boards) b550 round up 3 ( the moni $$ round up ....ye all of em can handle 3950 oced) the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: steve is worrking hard im considering patreon for my first time of my life xD the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: HES GONNA DO ITX NEXT the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: holly crap man the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: is steve even human the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: damn JustinXenyx#8854: uh JustinXenyx#8854: for a single message that's a lot of spamming :Xdxdxd: JustinXenyx#8854: hell i don't even fucking know what you're trying to say JustinXenyx#8854: So rambly
FantaStick#8008: I had a stroke trying to follow that JustinXenyx#8854: Exactly FantaStick#8008: *he should've just done one video with the best value board from each segment and a huge b550 vrm temp per dollar graph* JustinXenyx#8854: I think it's better split like that to be quite honest JustinXenyx#8854: He can go into more detail with split videos dedicated to certain price brackets JustinXenyx#8854: He could do that too with a longer video, but it's rare for someone to properly watch longer videos unless they are REALLY interested in hardware JustinXenyx#8854: Like if i only want the info for budget B550 boards, i can watch the video in regards to budget boards and get the info that will be relevant for my purchasing decision FantaStick#8008: No I think splitting it up was fine, just memeing FantaStick#8008: I do want the vrm temp per dollar graph to be a thing though FantaStick#8008: How much money has this man sent on boards, or does he have such a good connection he gets all this shit for free JustinXenyx#8854: He is a pretty well-known HW channel, so i don't doubt that he can get hardware for testing easily JustinXenyx#8854: But thanks to patreon supporters, the written HW unboxed articles + youtube income i'm sure they can easily afford to buy something for testing if they can't get it for free FantaStick#8008: True Aihio#2991: Is the i5-4590 still a usable CPU? Budget#8265: yes
Muse#0557: Don't buy one though Muse#0557: Ivy Bridge chips get close enough for half the cost SuSSudio#2688: LGA 1150 is like a garden platform... You might get bored quick as you can't swap between gens of intel cpus.. Unlike LGA 1155 where you can swap between 2nd/3rd gen core cpus... SuSSudio#2688: Speaking of CPUs itself, it's more than adequate for general usage... Still games, though not the most recent ones... Newer instructions built in that might last you some more years. Seek lookback reviews in yt for better coverage on the chip. Muse#0557: But Dio Muse#0557: You can swap to Broadwell Muse#0557: Smh SuSSudio#2688: :Peter: SuSSudio#2688: F me SuSSudio#2688: Welp, was writing off my head anyways.. don't quote me Muse#0557: It's great value aswell Muse#0557: Only like 150 for an i5 SuSSudio#2688: That's definitely a bargain
SuSSudio#2688: _For a non hyperthreaded 6 year old chip_ Budget#8265: 1150 sucks for value Muse#0557: @Aihio TLDR buy 1155 Muse#0557: Ivy chips are close enough to justify the savings SuSSudio#2688: ^^^ If anything to miss out it's the AVX2 instruction SuSSudio#2688: Doubt enough programs takes advantage of it JustinXenyx#8854: Given that he is probably asking more in the context of gaming no JustinXenyx#8854: Games have barely been using AVX up until now DarknessFalls229#2286: found two HP Z210 workstations at 25 euro for both DarknessFalls229#2286: should i cop? DarknessFalls229#2286: he wants them out tomorrow, no specs or pics listed JustinXenyx#8854: Yeah i'd cop DarknessFalls229#2286: ill see about it, perhaps ask for some pics first Muse#0557: Z210 is sandy?
Muse#0557: Idk DarknessFalls229#2286: yeah sandy DarknessFalls229#2286: from the spec page CPUs range from quad core ht/non-ht Xeons, from i3's to i7's DarknessFalls229#2286: ive sent the guy a message Aihio#2991: There is this PC for sale that has i5-4590s, 8GB ram, GT 1030, 120GB SSD and 500GB HDD all for 150€ DarknessFalls229#2286: Decent, but not that decent Aihio#2991: The next one is this i7-3820, RAM 16GB, 120Gb + 1Tb, Nvidia GeForce GTX 250 all for 180€ Aihio#2991: And then we have a i5 2400, Gtx 960 4gb, 8gb kingston, 500gb hdd all for 250€ Aihio#2991: The prices that people ask for ancient parts is fucked my dudes JustinXenyx#8854: i think out of all those PCs the i7 3820 machine is probably the smartest choice to go with JustinXenyx#8854: Sure it has a shit GPU but you can at least upgrade the CPU a decent bit JustinXenyx#8854: Unless it is an OEM workstation, then i would not bother at all Aihio#2991: It actually has a Asus P9X79 and a Corsair something 850watt PSU DarknessFalls229#2286: thats pretty decent DarknessFalls229#2286: replace the GPU and you got a somewhat potent gaming machine
Lumaterian#3557: those boards are still very overpriced on the used market, can sell for enough to get an X570 or Z490 FantaStick#8008: ^ FantaStick#8008: Sell it all on eBay, get yourself on am4 JustinXenyx#8854: I don't think his used market has any major interest in that sort of hardware tbh JustinXenyx#8854: But i could be wrong on that Aihio#2991: You are correct FantaStick#8008: You never know FantaStick#8008: And some fuckers over here are crazy enough to pay the international shipping Aihio#2991: They are trying to sell a Pentium dual core with integrated graphics and 4gb ddr3 for 250€ Aihio#2991: Oh wow that P9X79 supports 8 DIMMs Lumaterian#3557: X79 is 8 DIMM by default Lumaterian#3557: also P9X79 is a series, not a board DarknessFalls229#2286: @JustinXenyx _might_'ve scored those two z210's. some dude was first, but hasnt responded yet for pickup Xbox 360 1953#2640: Evga br or corsair cv 450w? Xbox 360 1953#2640: Both are same price
Xbox 360 1953#2640: Or skip both and get something better? JustinXenyx#8854: To be honest, get the one that is cheaper leewake9705#9644: I would go with either because I have had good experience with both. But yes cheapest is best mi3night#2562: @JustinXenyx should I get used psus mi3night#2562: Idk Muse#0557: Fsp Muse#0557: Fsp Muse#0557: Fsp Muse#0557: Fsp Muse#0557: Fsp Muse#0557: Fsp Muse#0557: Fsp Muse#0557: This has been tech help Xbox 360 1953#2640: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/j2CVJb thoughts on this?

I've never dealt with anything server related and want to start simple by just using an old PC with a couple drives for home use and maybe running a minecraft. Gamefreak924#5901: Pretty soon I'll have coverage of how well (or bad) an egpu works with a pentium GMA965 laptop Gamefreak924#5901: I'll be sure to make a video documenting the results. Lady Mipha#0611: x4500 @Deleted User Lady Mipha#0611: yes Gamefreak924#5901: Thanksss mi3night#2562: @Xbox 360 1953 that ssd idk Xbox 360 1953#2640: hmm Xbox 360 1953#2640: my sister wants to spend a bit less so I might see about going used gpu
Xbox 360 1953#2640: but I can't get shit local so Xbox 360 1953#2640: Sad! JustinXenyx#8854: I think if you kept everything but swapped the 1650S out for an RX570 4GB or similar and potentially swapped the R3 3100 for another used Ryzen chip you could save a decent bit of cash Xbox 360 1953#2640: I'll see about that, thanks Xbox 360 1953#2640: how much do you think a 574 is? don't really know what would be a deal or not with them Muse#0557: 70-100 Muse#0557: What is she using the system for Muse#0557: @Xbox 360 1953 Xbox 360 1953#2640: she wants to do gaming Xbox 360 1953#2640: like r6s, black ops 3, gta. basically anything she'd play on her xbone Xbox 360 1953#2640: test Muse#0557: Youre spending way too much imo Muse#0557: Or she is Xbox 360 1953#2640: wym Muse#0557: You can max all of those games on a 7970
Muse#0557: And I5 2400 Muse#0557: Not saying to buy those Muse#0557: But she is spending way more than she needs to get a good experience Muse#0557: And by the sounds of it she isn't into computers that much Xbox 360 1953#2640: she doesn't really know much but wants to learn about stuff the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: @Deleted User https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/748976563252363674/unknown.png the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: its gonna be a ok the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: ( gtx 460) Muse#0557: Seems like dropping that much is a waste Muse#0557: That's just my opinion Muse#0557: Ask @JustinXenyx idk he might think its worth it to play 2015 xbox games JustinXenyx#8854: Well given that it's for his sister ideally he'd want to keep as much new as he can without it looking suspect JustinXenyx#8854: Like he can get a used CPU or GPU JustinXenyx#8854: but anything else is gonna look a little suspect JustinXenyx#8854: you don't need to worry about a bottleneck with that system @Deleted User
Deleted User#0000: I know that the gtx 460 is a bottleneck JustinXenyx#8854: Which is why i said you don't need to worry about it JustinXenyx#8854: GPU bottleneck isn't an issue really JustinXenyx#8854: Having a CPU bottleneck is a MASSIVE issue though JustinXenyx#8854: if we're talking about a gaming system* Muse#0557: Gamer system Tm Deleted User#0000: So what gpu should i get and what fps am i gettin FantaStick#8008: The term bottleneck gets fairly annoying Deleted User#0000: With the gtx 460 Muse#0557: 2400 and 1060/570 Muse#0557: Imo Muse#0557: That's the max I'd pair with sandy Deleted User#0000: 570 is too expensive i think Alcyone#2233: I have 1155 and a gtx 560. its not fast in AAA games and its oc to the limit Deleted User#0000: He means an rx 570
Deleted User#0000: Right Alcyone#2233: 2015ish is about where it tops out at 720p 60fps FantaStick#8008: Max I'd pair with a 2400 would be a 570/470 or 1050ti JustinXenyx#8854: @FantaStick Well i think it gets thrown around way too much, but the term obviously has its point. People just misuse it by screaming out "AAAAH BOTTLENECK BOTTLENECK" every time FantaStick#8008: It gets used for the wrong reasons a lot yeah FantaStick#8008: Just ask, is my CPU holding back my gpu FantaStick#8008: Or vice versa FantaStick#8008: Don't just ask "is it a bottleneck" FantaStick#8008: Like what, what part of it, which direction are we talking here Alcyone#2233: you never have too much gpu, just not enough platform FantaStick#8008: ^ FantaStick#8008: You can never have too much GPU Muse#0557: "We need a bigger hedt" Muse#0557: Famous line FantaStick#8008: But at the same time
FantaStick#8008: Don't buy something so obviously overpowered for your cpu Deleted User#0000: Look i am saving at my toes rn Alcyone#2233: 2080ti and a pentium 4 Deleted User#0000: And i am sacrificeing storage and ram FantaStick#8008: Get a 7950 FantaStick#8008: Should be mad cheap Deleted User#0000: I am getting 8gb ram first Deleted User#0000: 7950?? Muse#0557: They aren't that cheap tbh JustinXenyx#8854: Fanta he is in egypt as far as i can tell Muse#0557: Like 50 or 60 Muse#0557: Most of the time JustinXenyx#8854: He'll be quite fucked with tech prices Deleted User#0000: Yeah FantaStick#8008: Right
FantaStick#8008: *why do so many Egyptians watch Hamish* Muse#0557: 7790, 7850, 7870 Muse#0557: Fanta JustinXenyx#8854: I think you'd be best off getting what you can for a reasonable price and then go on from there @Deleted User Deleted User#0000: Like what Muse#0557: Don't get it when people hear someone is from not the US, Canada or the UK Deleted User#0000: I thought about an i5 4570 Muse#0557: And can't believe they have contact with the Internet Alcyone#2233: If the used market is whack and youre not buying from aliexpress Deleted User#0000: I am buying from used Muse#0557: 7770 off Ali express is a good buy Muse#0557: Budget made a video on it Alcyone#2233: whatever you can find 4 core 1155 or newer intel Deleted User#0000: Guys Muse#0557: Just have to be patient

Muse#0557: Try fine one locally or on ebay JustinXenyx#8854: AliExpress is kinda risky for countries like that because customs might steal the packages and just keep them to themselves Deleted User#0000: Ebay shipping is soo expensive Deleted User#0000: It is even more expensive than the cpu it self FantaStick#8008: I do have a 7950 FantaStick#8008: But shipping probably is more than 25$ Muse#0557: I just said 25 Muse#0557: He hasn't given a budget Deleted User#0000: I dont have any FantaStick#8008: Ah Alcyone#2233: he said he doesnt even have money rn Deleted User#0000: I am saving FantaStick#8008: I'm like quickly glancing while at work Alcyone#2233: it is theoretical tech support Deleted User#0000: Look
Deleted User#0000: I was goin to save 110 dollars for the i5 2400 and 16 gb ram Deleted User#0000: And then i found out that the 3rd gen is around the same price Alcyone#2233: most the locked cpus are pretty cheap, even lga 1150 Alcyone#2233: finding a non oem board cheap is usually the biggest hurdle, So thats what I would start with Deleted User#0000: I don't understand sorry FantaStick#8008: You're in egypt FantaStick#8008: Play tomb raider IRL Deleted User#0000: Wtf JustinXenyx#8854: now that's a little harsh Deleted User#0000: This isnt how it works dude FantaStick#8008: It was a joke Deleted User#0000: If i try i will get jailed FantaStick#8008: Why would I ever legitimately suggest that Muse#0557: Man is just a racist JustinXenyx#8854: I think the best idea if for you to get a solid budget so that you can actually plan out a system with that budget in mind
Deleted User#0000: The problem is i don't have any income Muse#0557: What are you using atm JustinXenyx#8854: You won't get very far just seeing something and trying to save up for that, if you have a solid amount of cash in your hands you can plan out etc etc Deleted User#0000: Intel xeon 5080 FantaStick#8008: Yes I'm racist for remembering my world history classs Deleted User#0000: 2x Gamefreak924#5901: I've shipped plenty of things through ebay. CPUs, a video card, optical drive, a ton of computer parts at once Gamefreak924#5901: Ask me anything Muse#0557: 5080 is dual core 771 Muse#0557: Right?

Deleted User#0000: I tries Deleted User#0000: Tried JustinXenyx#8854: So your system won't post with only 1 cpu? Deleted User#0000: It will Deleted User#0000: But Deleted User#0000: Half performance JustinXenyx#8854: nah that's BS JustinXenyx#8854: if anything the performance should improve Deleted User#0000: Nah Deleted User#0000: I tried JustinXenyx#8854: Different game plan then JustinXenyx#8854: You take out both 5080s and replace with a solid quad core chip Deleted User#0000: The socket is too old JustinXenyx#8854: well that's what i'm getting at Alcyone#2233: its the same as a 775

Hell a ryzen 1200 might be affordable in a year

You'll find 8gb to be cheaper and enough for most tasks, but the 16gb is future proofing. If you're on a budget, get the 8gb and depending on the number of ram slots you have (if you have four) get the ram in 2 sticks of 4gb so you still have room to upgrade. TheFifthAce#4128: 8gb is not enough in 2020 Muse#0557: Flannel you're right apart from the future proofing part Muse#0557: It's the sweet spot Muse#0557: Ab keep in mind the guy he is responding to doesn't have cash for a 7770 rn TheFifthAce#4128: hes getting a 3100 TheFifthAce#4128: oh wait misread TheFifthAce#4128: 8gb still isnt enough for any modern programs Muse#0557: Also midnight a 2400 is not 10 bucks
Flannel84#2980: If I recall I saw XIVIX discussing a budget of like 100 or 150 bucks earlier. If he has only that much 8gb is gonna be the best bet so he can afford some other key parts (unless the price has changed). Flannel84#2980: Plus pairing it with the 460 he wants until he gets an rx 470, 8gb or 16gb won't matter too much as the drivers on the 400 series are a few years out of date now so he wouldn't be running too many of the most recent releases just yet. I think he should get 8gb for now, put the extra towards a new card, and upgrade the ram after the new GPU. But that's just my perspective. Muse#0557: Last 470 drivers from AMD were 2 weeks ago? Muse#0557: Games that run on a 470 can easily push the system above 8gb of usage Flannel84#2980: yes but if he initially goes with the gtx 460, those drivers are over 2 years old and will limit him on their own. I guess what really needs to be considered is his time line and how fast he wants to do certain things. Flannel84#2980: Has he named specific games he wants to play? Or things he wants to do in general? mi3night#2562: @Muse I thought he said it’s $10 it’s confusing as hell mi3night#2562: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/749148950572957736/image0.png mi3night#2562: He literally said 10 dollars out of nowhere mi3night#2562: I literally had to assume mi3night#2562: Also 8gb is the minimum in 2020. 16gb is sweet spot 32gb is for editing/future proof. 64gb is for heavy editing and 3D stuff Deleted User#0000: So i should get 8gb ram and save for a gpu upgrade and then get another 8 gb Deleted User#0000: Ok wiryfuture🦀#1706: > 8gb still isnt enough for any modern programs @TheFifthAce I am going to assassinate your ram sticks
TheFifthAce#4128: @wiryfuture🦀 8gb is not enough. TheFifthAce#4128: windows uses 2-3gb if not more on its own TheFifthAce#4128: add a browser and discord and you're down another 2-3gb and havent launched anything yet wiryfuture🦀#1706: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/749252070523273236/unknown.png wiryfuture🦀#1706: ??? vegetal#8870: im at 4gb with windows, discord and 13 firefox tabs TheFifthAce#4128: :doge2: TheFifthAce#4128: thats what I said FantaStick#8008: @TheFifthAce I expected better from you TheFifthAce#4128: 2 + 2 does equal 4 @vegetal FantaStick#8008: 8gbs is still enough for most games and a few programs open in the background TheFifthAce#4128: @wiryfuture🦀 and overall usage FantaStick#8008: Fite me TheFifthAce#4128: @FantaStick 8gb is not enough TheFifthAce#4128: 16gb is the bare minimum for any modern work
FantaStick#8008: Let me clarify TheFifthAce#4128: most new games are using 5gb or more of ram FantaStick#8008: 2x4gb is minimum TheFifthAce#4128: minimum for a computer to game on TheFifthAce#4128: but I said minimum for 2020 gaming FantaStick#8008: Oh for 2020 gaming TheFifthAce#4128: if yourr running older titles sure TheFifthAce#4128: but modern games use 5-10gb ram FantaStick#8008: Then yeah 16gb i guess wiryfuture🦀#1706: wdym by "2020 gaming" TheFifthAce#4128: ??? TheFifthAce#4128: what the fuck else could it mean FantaStick#8008: AAA titles made in 2020 TheFifthAce#4128: 2020 games FantaStick#8008: Not esports titles
wiryfuture🦀#1706: like, flight sim? :crome: FantaStick#8008: And not most indie titles TheFifthAce#4128: yeah duh FantaStick#8008: Flight sim is wack TheFifthAce#4128: but full length modern aaa games need 16gb FantaStick#8008: Yes FantaStick#8008: *I blame lazy programmers* wiryfuture🦀#1706: yes wiryfuture🦀#1706: if it can't run on 512mb, you're doing something wrong :haha: JustinXenyx#8854: He means modern AAA games commonly played in 2020 most likely @wiryfuture🦀 JustinXenyx#8854: That would also include games released in 2020 wiryfuture🦀#1706: I suppose it depends on what you want to "play" :haha: wiryfuture🦀#1706: *laughs in 720p low* Deleted User#0000: so get 12 FantaStick#8008: 12 is never worth it
Flannel84#2980: @Deleted User To make things a little easier on everyone. Could you re-list the following things? 1. What is the total actual budget? 2. What do you want to with the system? Any specific applications/games? 3. What upgrades are you looking to do in the future (like going from gtx 460 to rx 470)? Having these items listed in one message can help sort out what makes the most *sense* not what is exactly the best for today's standards because if the budget is small, somethings might not make sense to get right away. Deleted User#0000: 1. between 100 to 150 $ (i dont have this money yet) 2.i want to be able to edit sometimes not alot but my priority is games like (gta online-fortnite-valorant-csgo-minecraft-rust-garrysmod) and i am planning on getting other games like (rainbowsixseige and maybe rdr2) Deleted User#0000: 3.yeah i want to get an ssd and an rx 470 Deleted User#0000: @Flannel84 Flannel84#2980: Perfect, now if anyone asks refer them to this. Yannikau#9606: Anyone here that knows a bit about Intel server motherboards? I recently got my hands on a Intel S1200BTL with a Xeon E3 1220. It was from a friend, he used it as his home server (which I want to do aswell) Now the weird thing As soon as I shut it down I actually have to reset the bios for it to boot again
Yannikau#9606: I have no idea what causes this Flannel84#2980: something corrupted? Yannikau#9606: Idk, it boots every time I reset the Bios... That's the weird thing... Alcyone#2233: chassis intrusion header, or maybe a dead cmos battery? Flannel84#2980: dead cmos seems possible, and easy to test with a replacement Yannikau#9606: The battery was pretty much dead, but after replacing it it still didn't work (it's possible that this one is dead aswell tho) D.D.M#8226: Maybe try updating the bios that could fix it? Gamefreak924#5901: Update on the Inspiron 1525 egpu. I'm able to get it hooked up and it shows up on the PC (drivers installed and all that), but I have yet to get it working completely. I'm still going to be trying for success PanasonicBlueray#8325: Hey guys. So my mum's pc gave us the blue screen of death yesterday, after all of that it just takes us to the "repairing system" screen, and then yo the advanced boot settings. I've tried getting into safe mode both by the menu and command line, but everytime it just shows the same "repairing system" screen. I just want to take some info out, any idea on how? I can't just take the storage out because its eMMc memory, my best guess it's that it's been degrading and this was the final blow D.D.M#8226: From what year is the laptop? D.D.M#8226: And can you get into the bios? D.D.M#8226: @PanasonicBlueray PanasonicBlueray#8325: > And can you get into the bios?
@D.D.M 2017. I think I'm able to get into the bios D.D.M#8226: The emmc should be still alive if it isnt that old PanasonicBlueray#8325: I thought so, but the past weeks leading up to this the pc was abnormally slow and some folders became corrupted, so I'd think it was the storage D.D.M#8226: If you know how to make a bootable usb stick with hirens boot cd try that and try accessing your files D.D.M#8226: If no i will give you instructions PanasonicBlueray#8325: I guess it's the same as making a Linux one (?) D.D.M#8226: With rufus D.D.M#8226: Atleast thats what i use D.D.M#8226: Wait are there files on the desktop? D.D.M#8226: Or user folders PanasonicBlueray#8325: Yeah, I checked them with some hprecovery tool and they appeared empty PanasonicBlueray#8325: So uh, not the best situation D.D.M#8226: Well its better if you get a live cd of a linux distro as hbcd will have permission issues with user folders
D.D.M#8226: Download a lubuntu install iso as its the smallest PanasonicBlueray#8325: I have an ubuntu bootable usb around, though about just using the demo version from the usb, but it didn't worked well in the last pc I tried to recover stuff with that PanasonicBlueray#8325: Guess it's worth the try D.D.M#8226: @PanasonicBlueray did you recover anything? Ramiere#1840: A friend of mine is just getting into pc gaming is there a gpu that performs better than the 750 but around the same price? Ramiere#1840: I wanted to get a 750 but in 2020 it’s useless unless you play at the lowest resolution DarknessFalls229#2286: R9 280(x) is pretty good DarknessFalls229#2286: Or 7970 which is the same Muse#0557: 280/X is not the same price as a 750 Muse#0557: You'd be looking at a 7870 Muse#0557: Which is close to a 1050 Bwenfwake#6869: I have a 7970 to sell Bwenfwake#6869: £40? D.D.M#8226: A 1050 would be better as those gpus are plagued with issues at this age D.D.M#8226: And they consume less power

Charlie Foxtrot#9831: > Well i guarantee you that you wont find drivers for them @D.D.M Well, if you are really into it, then you could check the Hardware IDs in Device Manager and look them up on Google.

Flannel84#2980: Just a hypothetical question, what would cool better? A stock intel cooler or the cheap one I've mentioned prior (three heat pipes, low profile design from china). I'm wondering if the heat pipes will truly help it out, or would a stock intel cooler just do better based on the amount of mass it has to absorb the heat. Dogecode#7321: I wouldn't think heat pipes would do anything if there's not much to carry the heat to, the whole idea is they let you use a larger heatsink (or in the case of laptops reposition the heatsink) without losing efficiency because the heat can't get to it Dogecode#7321: You'd have to benchmark it to know for sure though Flannel84#2980: this is the best view of the cooling portion https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/750197312239698011/s-l1600.png Dogecode#7321: I'd guess that would outperform the intel heatsink (there's not much to the stock intel one really) but like I said if you want to know for sure you'll have to benchmark it Flannel84#2980: I'll probably end up bench marking it against a stock on and a Hyper T2 one day when I get back to doing Youtube. I mean, for under 9 dollars if it does well who could say no? Dogecode#7321: I was thinking you were meaning something like this where you've got the heatpipes going to basically a laptop heatsink https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/750198695420624943/iu.png
Flannel84#2980: It's similar, but I think this one is more of a rip off of the thermaltake slim x3 or one of those low profile models Dogecode#7321: but yeah for $9 any heatsink is good Dogecode#7321: it looks way better than that cheap one ltt tested Flannel84#2980: I actually had one of those cheap ones they tested, but they are only rated for 65 watts Dogecode#7321: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tk6JMSrqiQo video for reference Flannel84#2980: I just watched that one an hour ago lol D.D.M#8226: @"Cobs" the nas does support gigabit ethernet, my cable is a cat5e, the router supports gigabit and its getting its internet connection from another router that supports gigabit ethernet and both routers are connected with a 40 meter cat5e cable D.D.M#8226: And i have a pc connected to the router and it says its gigabit wiryfuture🦀#1706: > Hey guys so i was looking through my NAS system and it appears to be using 100mbs @D.D.M wdym by appears to be using 100mbps D.D.M#8226: It says wiryfuture🦀#1706: as in, is that he bandwidth you see being used?

Budget#8265: Just capture it at a low resolution and scale it up @Jackloco Jackloco#9187: hmmm, i suppose so . i want to keep it authentically bad. compression, low frame rate, you know the works Jackloco#9187: think back to unregistered fraps footage from 2007 with the drop and play youtube songs Muse#0557: You can render it with dreadful bit rate Muse#0557: Run it through handbrake or something and blitz it Jackloco#9187: i'm trying to get it with a meme in online, we're trying do a bit for a scene we have Jackloco#9187: u think i could hard change it in windows to reduce the incoming> Jackloco#9187: ? Jackloco#9187: it's super dumb but thanks for the suggestions, might just do an overlay and rerecord what i said using this Al Juboori A#6408: can smeone help me draft out a pc build for my nephew with a budget of 1000 euros ? including the monitor. he plays fortnite and there games of that caliber. Flannel84#2980: For any American's that's $1,191.55 USD. D.D.M#8226: Uhh i think a ryzen 5 3600, 16gb ddr4 ram, gtx 1660 super, 256gb ssd 1tb hdd D.D.M#8226: I have a friend that has a pc with similar specs and fortnite runs on epic no problem D.D.M#8226: If you still have money you could get an rtx 2060
Flannel84#2980: You could probably spring for 32gb of ddr4 honestly, it's not too expensive. Motherboard wise as well just get something middle of the road, no need for anything overly fancy. Elecks#1913: To be fair he can get my set up for half the money, and still do fine in most games, cyberpunk is going to be a tough one i think tho.. Elecks#1913: Newer is not always better, especially if you are considering playing one specific game. I mean more power is obviously more future proof, but he could spent half the money for something still great! I play all my games in 2048 x 1440 and have no issues at all. Sadly my monitor is weird as it only support 4K on specific HDMI 2.0 slot, and games look a bit weird to me when I'm playing in 3840 x 2160, but i am too lazy to switch the cables as i use it for my PS4.. looks weird > still good FPS though. FantaStick#8008: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FGXh4n FantaStick#8008: save roughly 200$ for yourself, dont buy any rtx right now cause prices are dropping big time used Flannel84#2980: How old is the nephew? It might be wise to future proof with better parts if he'll get into more. FantaStick#8008: take that extra 200, sell your 1660super later on for like 150, get another 100$, and youll be able to grab a 3070 and your nephew will be set for years FantaStick#8008: went with b550 for the pcie4 support jsut in case JustinXenyx#8854: Any card will be piss cheap in the next month or so Gamefreak924#5901: Does SSE4.1 have any noticeable difference over SSE3/SSSE3 in a CPU? Gamefreak924#5901: Trying to pick the best option for a Socket P CPU. One has SSE4.1 but it's a bit more expensive Alcyone#2233: if amd is competitive with nvidia in the $400-500 price range. every previous high end card is obsolete Alcyone#2233: will we see $50 x80 polaris when the new $200 gpus come out? I hope so FantaStick#8008: i hope they can compete at the price range FantaStick#8008: hope we dont get another radeon vii situation
JustinXenyx#8854: It'll have a neat effect on the budget market though JustinXenyx#8854: 1070s will be sub-100 USD even lmao FantaStick#8008: i should uhh FantaStick#8008: hurry up and get rid of these 1080tis lol Alcyone#2233: Im hoping it will be a big shakeup for the 1080p 60hz budget gamers Alcyone#2233: instead of just saying: get used x70 polaris for best price/perf there will be other good used ~$80-100 options FantaStick#8008: i think with this youll see 1440p 60hz budget gamers FantaStick#8008: or 1080p 144hz budget gamers FantaStick#8008: either or JustinXenyx#8854: Oh yeah no budget gaming at 1080p just took a GIANT leap forwards JoshTheTechie#2808: Would anyone be able to help me with this? I’m installing a new install of windows 10 and keep getting different oobe errors. I’ve tried start up repair and I’ve searched it online but noting seems to be working.

Didn't even ask, but got it discounted after they fixed it. DarknessFalls229#2286: @wiryfuture🦀 listed as 4 pcs for parts DarknessFalls229#2286: And each pc has at least one issue DarknessFalls229#2286: One PSU dead, two motherboards dead and a couple of dead fans DarknessFalls229#2286: But that still leave a LOT of working parts DarknessFalls229#2286: The 850 Watt PSU is the only one thats really a shame Budget#8265: @JoshTheTechie Corrupted Install USB would be my guess mate
Budget#8265: 👍 JoshTheTechie#2808: thanks @Budget dexsters56#4904: Would a X5690 werf putting into a Rampage ii Extreme? dexsters56#4904: Found a deal for the X5690 for 15€ and wanna know if its werf it Lumaterian#3557: that's a good deal if the chip works Lumaterian#3557: but I'd then immediately flip the cpu and board Lumaterian#3557: X58 is inflated af JustinXenyx#8854: If you're talking about using that combo as your main rig, no @dexsters56 JustinXenyx#8854: X58 is pretty dated and you will run into issues running more and more modern programs and games Caleb - XPuser#7247: Does anybody know how I can make a bootable USB to install Windows XP Professional x64? 🌈 msx dot gay 🌈#9665: Rufus Caleb - XPuser#7247: Rufus doesn't wanna work with XP X64. 🌈 msx dot gay 🌈#9665: Oh Caleb - XPuser#7247: WinToFlash doesn't either. Caleb - XPuser#7247: Win32DiskImager doesn't format the drive right.
Caleb - XPuser#7247: PowerISO copies files and formats it correctly but it's not bootable. Caleb - XPuser#7247: ISO to USB doesn't work either. Caleb - XPuser#7247: I've tried multiple ISOs, including one I made from my own XP x64 CD. 🌈 msx dot gay 🌈#9665: Not sure what to say then 🌈 msx dot gay 🌈#9665: Rufus is the only tool for Windows I know of Caleb - XPuser#7247: Yeah I've always used Rufus, it works fine for XP 32 bit. Caleb - XPuser#7247: Just found a guide for easy2boot for xp x64, gonna try that quickly. vegetal#8870: why would you want to install xp x64 in the first placee Caleb - XPuser#7247: To use all 6GB of my ram. Charlie Foxtrot#9831: How about running CMD commands? Charlie Foxtrot#9831: There are guides to throw ISOs onto USBs with CMD commands uoʇsodɾ#2412: XP 32 bit is really a 34 bit aware OS. There is software to use RAM that is not normally addressable. It can set up part of the RAM as a drive in windows. You then set the PF to said virtual drive. Any hard faults that are made to the virtual drive are not so hard any more and are almost as fast as a soft fault. uoʇsodɾ#2412: Unless you must run a program that only works with XP 64 bit then your better off dull booting XP 32 bit and win 7/8.1. uoʇsodɾ#2412: I have done this with 8GB of RAM before if anybody is wondering. Caleb - XPuser#7247: I've already got it installed, performance is much better than in XP 32 bit.
Caleb - XPuser#7247: It's fun to look at task manager and see all of the resource meter line thingys at the bottom of the graph.
