DarknessFalls229#2286: how bout a paint brush DarknessFalls229#2286: or like a small broom DarknessFalls229#2286: or a shaving brush Foxious#1859: Aww Foxious#1859: Gonna have to find the brush JustinXenyx#8854: > Still the best mitx card on the market @FantaStick aren't the 2070S mini and 2080 mini better than the 1080Ti mini? FantaStick#8008: 2080 mini doesn't really exist (manli did an incredibly limited run of those copying the zotac cooler) and 2070S still loses to 1080ti in several games, although it's been getting slowly better as drivers for turing develop FantaStick#8008: Now being that 30 series is out and the pcb and waterblocks exist, you can now make mini itx cards more powerful than the 1080ti FantaStick#8008: Ekwb is working on a waterblock specifically for the FE pcb which should come in under the magic 210mm number Dogecode#7321: > or like a small broom @DarknessFalls229 that would absolutely tear up that cpu, even with a toothbrush you’d have to be really careful not to bend any pins DarknessFalls229#2286: theyre not LGA pins bruh DarknessFalls229#2286: and the cleaner ought to be carefull enough with it anyway Alcyone#2233: @Foxious go get a can of aerosol electrical cleaner from the auto parts store and just hose it down. its how I clean all pga cpu and lga socket pins https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/761636452046995496/05101.png
Alcyone#2233: works great for dimm and pcie slots too JustinXenyx#8854: @Tinybox let's move this here since normal seems to shift into a phone conversation Tinybox#9112: Seems so Tinybox#9112: Well, yea I'd need to rebuild from nearly scratch, but I'd take my 750 EVO out, and maybe my 500GB seagate drive. I got 16GB of G-SKILL AEGIS RAM arond ***because it didn't want to work with more than 2666mhz that damn 3000mhz kit, haven't tested it on my pro-vdh tho*** JustinXenyx#8854: I feel like the SSD and hard drive wouldn't save you much in regards to price JustinXenyx#8854: Also it seems like the ASRock B450M Pro4 really isn't doing too hot in regards to memory clocks for some people, my Pro4-F has been fine thus far in regards to that JustinXenyx#8854: So your 3000MHz kit might've just clocked like ass because of the board Alcyone#2233: did you update bios to get the new agesa Tiny? Tinybox#9112: That was already quite a while ago. Tinybox#9112: That was when I first built my PC, already a year ago Tinybox#9112: A tad more in fact. JustinXenyx#8854: But you admit that you haven't retested the kit yet Tinybox#9112: Yea I indeed haven't JustinXenyx#8854: so there is still some hope to that
Tinybox#9112: I did buy myself a new Kit with the pro-vdh since (my epic man), sold me a 2666mhz Kit, which OC'ed to 3000mhz pretty much with ease Tinybox#9112: 20 euros for 16GB of DDR4 Tinybox#9112: Couldn't pass that up JustinXenyx#8854: Oh yeah i remember you talking about that guy Tinybox#9112: yea the guy that sold me a bunch of shit, and made this rig cost only a total of 240 Euros or so JustinXenyx#8854: My advice is this: ideally you'd keep the Pro VDH, RAM, SSD and HDD and sell off the rest Tinybox#9112: Wait you want me to part out the GPU, Case, and CPU? Alcyone#2233: id just sell the cpu and gpu unless the case or psu is crap JustinXenyx#8854: Yup, because that's the only thing really making sense given that you wanna upgrade JustinXenyx#8854: AM4 and DDR4 really have not been doing too hot when it comes to price drops JustinXenyx#8854: So you'd have to buy that stuff again for basically the same prices Tinybox#9112: The case I have is a Thermalthake N25, a Cooler Master RS600 ACAB-B1 as psu JustinXenyx#8854: The storage i'd primarily keep for data/privacy reasons, given that the data is rather easily recoverable now if you don't put a ton of effort in Tinybox#9112: alr Tinybox#9112: I don't store any private data on my PC personally tho
Tinybox#9112: It's all on da "backup-pc" Alcyone#2233: I would at least secure erase everything, which takes ages Tinybox#9112: alright Tinybox#9112: So should I sell my Powersupply as well? Tinybox#9112: dont really care about the case JustinXenyx#8854: yeah the PSU and case aren't of the highest quality, might as well sell those Tinybox#9112: I also have the rig I built for one of my favourite siblings, @I5 2500k @R9 290 @Corsair RM750i ..16gb of Corsair Vengance 1600mhz. Should I part that one out too for an upgrade or just sell it off since AM4 Tinybox#9112: (Probably keep power supply, and secure erase the old VERTEX 4 SSD on it) JustinXenyx#8854: I'd probably part out CPU/mobo/RAM, but the PSU and GPU should still be fine JustinXenyx#8854: Don't think a Vertex 4 is gonna net you much cash tbh, it's 8 years old at this point
Tinybox#9112: Yea just to include in the entire package Tinybox#9112: Could raise value a little Tinybox#9112: After all slapping " including super fast storage" is quite an add on :) Tinybox#9112: Well selling anything on this PC is probably profit anyway. my RX 580 cost me 70 euros and still has 1 month of warranty.. my R5 1600 cost me 50 Euros. And the R9 290 in my Bro's PC was 25 euros + xtreme iii cooler which added another 15 (Mining card, I got in an epic package) JustinXenyx#8854: i still remember the 5 290s (or however many it was) you got for cheap Tinybox#9112: yea I got 5 R9 290s for 100 Tinybox#9112: well more like 110 Alcyone#2233: dang Tinybox#9112: 110 because I got a pack of fans with them Tinybox#9112: Like 40 fans Tinybox#9112: bunch of LC power molex, some big thermalthake 200mm fans
Alcyone#2233: I paid $65 for one vapor x and felt like I got a decent deal Tinybox#9112: they were all sapphire TRI-X Alcyone#2233: those arent bad Tinybox#9112: Well I sold each of them for like 70 euros Tinybox#9112: Kept 1 DarknessFalls229#2286: i once gotten a r9 290 with an accelero extreme for 65 euro and i still cant find anything better Tinybox#9112: Sold one with a broken cooler for 60 euros Tinybox#9112: More like one screw wasn't going in and I was like "nope" Tinybox#9112: It was like Tinybox#9112: broken Tinybox#9112: I sent a pic back then Alcyone#2233: there was some mining places closing out msi 390x for $80 BIN on ebay a while ago, but they are all gone Tinybox#9112: damn Tinybox#9112: The R9 290 one was kinda funny Tinybox#9112: It was originally listed for 90 euros for 5x cards
Tinybox#9112: I messaged within 5 min Tinybox#9112: got into a bidding war with some other dude Tinybox#9112: I then offered to come within 15 min, and 110 for everything and asked him to take down the listing Tinybox#9112: Anyway ill work on getting an MXM workstation to part out my PC stuff Tinybox#9112: @JustinXenyx Oh shit Tinybox#9112: I forgot there's someone I can buy an R5 1600 off for 40 euros Tinybox#9112: Do you think I should just buy that for my "siblings PC" instead of wait for the market fall? Tinybox#9112: I do have DDR4 Tinybox#9112: soo JustinXenyx#8854: Don't think it would get much cheaper beyond that to be honest Tinybox#9112: mk DarknessFalls229#2286: @Tinybox what about giving your siblings pc your old parts while you upgrade your current machine? Tinybox#9112: @DarknessFalls229 You mean selling my siblings PC, for ~350 Euros (R9 290+i5 2500k), giving him my current System, excluding my SSD, HDD and RAM, and taking his RM750i for myself. Would esentially mean the System I'd be selling would be rocking a Cooler Master B600
i5 2500k R9 290 with an xtreme iii cooler 16gb of ram Asrock z68 pro3 ***That would give me 350 roughly euros to build a new System from scratch** DarknessFalls229#2286: nevermind then i guess Tinybox#9112: I mean the real biggest issue is that ram will prolly inflate the minute the release is dropped as everyone will be tryna grab some,also apparently at least after justin AM4 board prices won't change@DarknessFalls229 Otherwise I'd do that Tinybox#9112: Thinking even closer, I'm starting to feel like selling my entire System (For 450-500) would just yield me more, even if it's far more required effort. With a lot of sca- I mean negotiating. I'll reckon I can get a GTX 1080Ti for 250 once RDNA starts doing da ***effect*** **200-250 Euros left** R5 3600,....I bet that will drop to a smooth 100. **100-150 left**
***Already own the RAM, assuming my aegis kit actually works because then I'd sell my PC with it and keep my ballistix kit or just sell it with my pc anyway*** -case=10 euros PSU= 15 Euros (finna get another one like I did last time) Motherboard=60-70 Euros on the used Market for a Tomahawk **5-45 Euros left.** Now just need another Monitor, which if I do some serious searching I can cop a 144hz Display for roughly 40-50. **0 left** Cue; dont need a cooler because I'd sell my PC with the stock cooler ZeroForsaken#0001: I’ve got a really random thing going on with my gpu if anybody could help out Tinybox#9112: a r t i f a c t s? ZeroForsaken#0001: I literally have no clue what’s going on, everytime I hook up a second monitor, it switches inputs and goes to no signal ZeroForsaken#0001: So for example, I’ll plug in my first monitor and it’ll work just fine ZeroForsaken#0001: But then if I plug in my other monitor, the first one goes black with a “No Signal” and the second one turns on and shows just fine JustinXenyx#8854: Try plugging them both in while turned off and then turn the machine on JustinXenyx#8854: @Tinybox I **really** doubt you can get a 120 or even 144Hz Display for 40-50€, but i'd like to be proven wrong
ZeroForsaken#0001: Dude ZeroForsaken#0001: I swear i was trying that earlier and it wasn’t working ZeroForsaken#0001: Now it’s working just fine ZeroForsaken#0001: Wth JustinXenyx#8854: that's what i like to call "PC Support Magic" JustinXenyx#8854: You describe a problem to any tech support, they check and now the problem just magically vanished ZeroForsaken#0001: Wait nvm ZeroForsaken#0001: It stopped working again ZeroForsaken#0001: So it shows the bios menu but as soon as it boots into Windows, it stops working ZeroForsaken#0001: I honestly have no idea what’s happening, my system has been acting up ever since I swapped cases like 2 days ago ZeroForsaken#0001: My ssd used to boot in like 5 seconds, now it takes an entire minute ZeroForsaken#0001: It’s like my parts are rejecting the case :FeelsBadMan: DarknessFalls229#2286: @ZeroForsaken the display isnt disabled in windows right? ZeroForsaken#0001: No, neither of them are ZeroForsaken#0001: It’s like
ZeroForsaken#0001: They both work just fine ZeroForsaken#0001: But it’s refusing to show both at the same time, just one ZeroForsaken#0001: It only happens when I boot into windows Tinybox#9112: @JustinXenyx I've done it twice 😎 I even talked about one I got, and sold that one (That one was from "The Legend") Tinybox#9112: It's just about spying on the Market for years, and asking questions when the listing is basically bare ZeroForsaken#0001: I think I fixed it ZeroForsaken#0001: We’re good ZeroForsaken#0001: But I still want to figure out how to fix my ssd booting slow Alcyone#2233: is the mobo sata set to ide mode? Alcyone#2233: and is the ssd the first boot option? dexsters56#4904: Anyone got a any tips for getting rocket league running and low end gpu's? I have a HP 4530s witha I5-2450m and intel Hd 3000 graphics. I try to launch the game through epic games and it crashes each time Alcyone#2233: try setting the max available vram for the igp in bios if there is any settings dexsters56#4904: Ok il give it a shot dexsters56#4904: in the bios there was novram ajustment, but it was good i was able to disable to damaged hd7470m what the laptop had mi3night#2562: https://youtu.be/vZTlzbdy-lo
mi3night#2562: @dexsters56 dexsters56#4904: There isnt a option like that in the bios dexsters56#4904: On my desktop A8-7600 fm2 platform it was shown but on my laptop it doesnt Yon#7961: is this list a good build? Yon#7961: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RCLCp8 DarknessFalls229#2286: looks fine imo Yon#7961: oh w8 Yon#7961: wrong one Yon#7961: this one Yon#7961: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Yxc6n7 DarknessFalls229#2286: you couldve just said that you swapped out the CPu DarknessFalls229#2286: but still, looks fine imo Yon#7961: lol yeah JustinXenyx#8854: The motherboard is quite fucking pricy JustinXenyx#8854: + again, CPU and GPU choice may be entirely outdated in 3 months or so
Yon#7961: then what should I swap it out to Yon#7961: ??? RiIey#0001: how do i change the dpi of my mouse on a G300S from logitech Budget#8265: Usually they have a button on them dont they RiIey#0001: it didnt, i forgot to install the software lmao. got it all sorted out now HappySlappyFace#0441: @Yon id wait, ryzen 5000 is getting announced in 4 days nvidia 3070 and amd 6000 series at end of month Yon#7961: @HappySlappyFace what about for intel Yon#7961: do we still have to wait HappySlappyFace#0441: idk about intel HappySlappyFace#0441: i think they are releasing mobile cpus only Alcyone#2233: I think 11th gen desktop chips will be out near Christmas give or take mi3night#2562: @Alcyone yay mi3night#2562: Ima get 10700k when it’s $250 mi3night#2562: Jk I doubt it will go down that much
mi3night#2562: Probably still $320-350 when 11700k come out OmegaChamp#6440: Should I get a used 2080 to or rtx 3070 mi3night#2562: 3070 but you have to wait until October the 30th if youre lucky and nvidia has their shit together and without supply issues like 3080 right now @OmegaChamp mi3night#2562: The most I would pay for a used 2080 is no more than $400 as the 3070 beats the 2080ti as sources say Alcyone#2233: you wont be able to get a gpu for like 2-3 months, any of them MythologicalZ#3752: amd also have something coming up mi3night#2562: Tbh at this point I don’t really care about amd mi3night#2562: They fucked up Vega, now Navi MythologicalZ#3752: Navi suffered with drivers, hardware itself was a good attempt MythologicalZ#3752: Vega is just vega mi3night#2562: Polaris is the less fucked up launch mi3night#2562: But it’s meh mi3night#2562: Not that strong mi3night#2562: Only a 1060 competitor mi3night#2562: And no one buys them in 2016/17 when eth mining drove the cards price to $400 while 1063 is like $250
MythologicalZ#3752: Nobody bought anything good when eth mining was profitable/popular on regular hardware the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: a friend of mine lives somewhere electricity is very unstable , everyday there is an outtage and when it comes back it can come back very intense and some devices in his house have previously been killed by this , hes afraid this could affect his pc , like lets assume this triggers ovp or somthing everyday can the like....mechnism not work at some point from how often it happens? the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: and plz ping me MythologicalZ#3752: I've never heard of ovp/ocp/whatever just flatout stopping because of power outages MythologicalZ#3752: In my experience living in shitty areas the PSUs normally just die MythologicalZ#3752: Occasionally they take the board with them too the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: bruh the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: like outtages happen literally everyday the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: for him Alcyone#2233: a good quality surge protector for the pc should be fine DarknessFalls229#2286: perhaps a UPS is good aswell the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: whats a surge protector 😅 DarknessFalls229#2286: you know surgeons right? DarknessFalls229#2286: well its completely unrelated to that Alcyone#2233: a ups is good if there are frequent outages
DarknessFalls229#2286: an electrical surge is when theres an overcurrent/voltage DarknessFalls229#2286: so a surge protector is supposed to prevent it from doing damage the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: hm the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: are they expensive? DarknessFalls229#2286: shouldnt be too bad the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: and does input voltage matter DarknessFalls229#2286: like you can get a power brick with a surge protector built in the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: like 120 or 240 DarknessFalls229#2286: dunno the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: > like you can get a power brick with a surge protector built in @DarknessFalls229 thought it was some thingy that plugged in Alcyone#2233: its just a power strip with a fast acting breaker inside DarknessFalls229#2286: you know electrical circuits run in parallel? the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: only very recently i do yes DarknessFalls229#2286: so plugging a device in wont really do anything
Alcyone#2233: like this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/762726047119572992/51oAUOy8m9L.png DarknessFalls229#2286: you need to plu it in serially, so it can stop the current the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: (cause im studying that stuff rn) Alcyone#2233: make sure its a surge protector and not a power strip though Alcyone#2233: there should be some reset on it the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: hm Alcyone#2233: everyone should be using one for your sensitive electronics DarknessFalls229#2286: here the powers pretty damn stable so we dont really have to worry about it Alcyone#2233: I just found a neat automatic one at the thrift store so now most of my desk is triggered by the pc power button DarknessFalls229#2286: really? Alcyone#2233: yeah has an adjustable diode or somehing in it and a relay the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: > make sure its a surge protector and not a power strip though @Alcyone i dont think sellers where he lives would be educated enough to know the difference :P , i wouldnt Alcyone#2233: you plug the master device into the first slot and turn it on then it triggers the rest of the outlets Muse#0557: Us power is weird
Alcyone#2233: im sure they make them in 240v the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: wym master plug the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: doesnt the wire connect to the outlet Alcyone#2233: lemme see if I can find it online. the aggresive toilet flusher#1414: he can order from amazon Alcyone#2233: yes the master outlet on the strip always has power, but only when it is drawing current do the other outlets activate Alcyone#2233: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/762727967063277648/71REH0K-84L.png Alcyone#2233: blue and red are always on, green is only on when blue is pulling amperage. the threshold is adjustable with a little screw on the side Alcyone#2233: I have the pc tower on blue and the monitors + audio on green so all I have to do is mash the power button on the case to turn it all on or select shutdown in windows to power it all off. Lamp and phone charger are on the red always on so I can use them anytime. it was like $4 and I think its pretty neat Muse#0557: Bruh Muse#0557: You guys stink at making power outlets Alcyone#2233: backup moment, this has been running for like half an hour https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/762729605865930782/unknown.png Alcyone#2233: maybe longer Muse#0557: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/762729880638849044/71rzy2ARMOL._AC_SY355_.jpg Muse#0557: Ive got this under my desk

Alcyone#2233: daisy chaining power strips is not a good idea Lady Mipha#0611: ^^^^
Lady Mipha#0611: because the further you go the worse it gets Lady Mipha#0611: > Theyre a bitch to stand on though @Muse ours are worse https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/762875545029312532/image0.jpg Muse#0557: Yours don't land flat on their back Muse#0557: Every single time Lady Mipha#0611: that’s the thing ours can Muse#0557: I don't see a flat back? mi3night#2562: @Alcyone why daisy chain is a bad idea mi3night#2562: For power plugs Lady Mipha#0611: over ampage Lady Mipha#0611: basically if you blow one power plug @mi3night you blow all the others in the chain Lady Mipha#0611: doesn't matter the positon RiIey#0001: Will my cpu bottleneck if I throw a 1660 in my pc Lady Mipha#0611: no @RiIey mi3night#2562: @RiIey ur good until 2060s

Muse#0557: Not really Muse#0557: I wouldn't pair it with over a 1070 1660S mi3night#2562: it's not that bad... mi3night#2562: 4.8ghz overclock and it can match 1600x mi3night#2562: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvc43bgASBQ Muse#0557: 4.8 Muse#0557: What drugs are you on Muse#0557: That's like Muse#0557: 480mm dual rads in ice Muse#0557: Perfect bin Muse#0557: 2gb of ram Muse#0557: Gets through one run level Muse#0557: Not is a good match for a 2070 Muse#0557: Lmao mi3night#2562: stock is like 970CB

MythologicalZ#3752: why would the 2600k be better than the 3930k for gaming MythologicalZ#3752: theyre both sandy and one is a hexa core MythologicalZ#3752: with the advantages of quad channel and a bigger ihs for cooling Budget#8265: Problemo solved. The only thing I can think of would be cost/dollar MythologicalZ#3752: yeah x79 will cost more since old hedt and people talking about the socket a lot RiIey#0001: Bruh yall had a full blown debate 😳 D.D.M#8226: Hey guys so my friend has recently complained to me that cod warzone on his pc would start and get to the selection screen and crash to the desktop with no error. When relaunching in to the game when the game said use safe mode same thing happens. We reinstalled the game, updated to the latest nvidia drivers and even reinstalled the graphics drivers and nothing worked. Any ideas? Specs are i5 9400 (h i think) 16 gb ddr4 2600mhz
Gtx 1650 Budget#8265: @D.D.M Did you try DDU and Reinstall the latest stable ones D.D.M#8226: Well i didn't use ddu but i did install the latest stable update deterdzeno#8387: @D.D.M its warzone, also happend to me, had no fix for it so i just uninstalled it. i would try running the game as admin and trying out the compability modes.

mi3night#2562: Any serial number mi3night#2562: Cuz identifying case is super hard in my experience if it’s a OEM case mi3night#2562: @Foxious Lady Mipha#0611: ^^ Foxious#1859: its not an OEM case...

Deleted User#0000: I plan to enter ROG Rig Reboot next year in hopes of something more powerful but my Pentium E5300 is so slow it causes my keybaord rgb to lag its so slow Racey#8574: What's your budget for a CPU Deleted User#0000: I'm pretty flexible though I would prefer it to stay under 100$ Racey#8574: what's your preferred online retailer
Deleted User#0000: Along as they dont steal my card info im good with whatever Deleted User#0000: If youre implying ebay then I'd actually prefer ebay Deleted User#0000: Used CPUs are preferred as im not afraid to go a few generations back Racey#8574: for new I found an i3-9100F for $76.99 assuming it's USD Racey#8574: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Core-i3-9100F-4-Core-3-6-Ghz-4-2-GHz-Turbo-Processor-BX80684I39100F/183837249358?epid=17032785602&hash=item2acd8dcf4e:g:cRAAAOSwPdNc9~1h Deleted User#0000: Well is there an even older option that may be cheaper?

Deleted User#0000: Like I said I dont mind something older, as I'd also have to factor in a motherboard and ram because I'm on socket 775 ddr3 Racey#8574: ah JustinXenyx#8854: Give us a more proper budget, $100 streaming CPU isn't going to give us anything workable
Muse#0557: Decked what country are you in? Whats your total budget? Are you okey with going used? Don't put any faith in a giveaway also 🙏 JustinXenyx#8854: + streaming depends more on your GPU than CPU Racey#8574: ^ this JustinXenyx#8854: > Decked what country are you in? Whats your total budget? Are you okey with going used? Don't put any faith in a giveaway also 🙏 oh yeah, **really do not put faith or hope into giveaways** Racey#8574: most (gaming) GPUs after 2013 come with dedicated encoders so streaming won't be a problem Racey#8574: if you have one of those Muse#0557: Just answer my questions then we can help Deleted User#0000: > Decked what country are you in? Whats your total budget? Are you okey with going used? Don't put any faith in a giveaway also 🙏 @Muse US, total budget is honestly flexible.

JustinXenyx#8854: Terascale by far, but your budget isn't low enough to justify terascale Racey#8574: Terrorscare if I had to choose because kepler had slightly better drivers as I've heard Deleted User#0000: I was possibly thinking 7870 JustinXenyx#8854: 7870 isn't Terascale Deleted User#0000: I know im just putting it out there

JustinXenyx#8854: because i heard 100 for a cpu alone before Racey#8574: he said his budget would be 150 maximum iirc
Racey#8574: > US, total budget is honestly flexible. Tops 150 and used is preffered actually Deleted User#0000: I5 2500k is ddr3 correct? Muse#0557: Then why did you recommend a 75 buck cpu Muse#0557: Yes 2500k is ddr3 Deleted User#0000: I have some dodgy but functional ram Muse#0557: Anything pre skylake is JustinXenyx#8854: @Muse he said $100 for the cpu before my guy Deleted User#0000: Ok great Muse#0557: Im confused ngl JustinXenyx#8854: Another thing i'd like to mention: if you have enough flexibility, buy yourself a **new** case and power supply BigPierogi#3368: if hes on 775 BigPierogi#3368: wouldnt he also need a motherboard BigPierogi#3368: and ram BigPierogi#3368: possibly Muse#0557: ._.

Deleted User#0000: Is that enough? Racey#8574: no I think he was just confused since earlier you said 150 tops Muse#0557: 200 is good BigPierogi#3368: i dont think thats the problem BigPierogi#3368: i think the problem was there were 3 prices said BigPierogi#3368: so he got confused Deleted User#0000: Yeah my budget is all over the place I'm very sorry Racey#8574: yeah Racey#8574: it's all good Muse#0557: Lets you get a new psu and case Muse#0557: I recommend the low end be quiets and a game max expedition personally Muse#0557: They look sleek and are quality and good to build with JustinXenyx#8854: gamemax expedition sounds kinda dodgy tbh Muse#0557: Nah theyre great Deleted User#0000: Game max is safe?

JustinXenyx#8854: That probably won't fit regular ATX motherboards Deleted User#0000: No its fairly standard Muse#0557: Thinkcentre cases are upside down iirc Muse#0557: A lot are atleast Deleted User#0000: Psu is on top JustinXenyx#8854: I'd take the standoffs out though, some paint isn't really ideal for touching motherboards Deleted User#0000: I did Muse#0557: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/763533999091220520/GMX-EXPEDITION-BLK-NEW-01_1.jpeg,https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/763533999372894208/gmxcsexpeditionblk_3.jpg,https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/763533999552462879/95a01eb3852b526f845ff853231ae649-hi.jpg Muse#0557: The fan is bad Muse#0557: Junk them Muse#0557: Get some corsair or nzxt one off ebay Muse#0557: But i think its a good looking case Muse#0557: And its so easy to build in Racey#8574: it looks relatively spacious Muse#0557: I cant fault it tbh

sandrosandro482#8710: It's a fresh install btw Un karr#9168: thats really weird, normally this means that your install is corrupted but i dont think that is the reason sandrosandro482#8710: Yeah sandrosandro482#8710: I got a fresh usb yesterday Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Check the ISO you are using mi3night#2562: @sandrosandro482 check the install on your main pc mi3night#2562: So take the ssd out of your laptop and boot it off your pc mi3night#2562: See if your pc can boot to widows without safe mode sandrosandro482#8710: It's a pc sandrosandro482#8710: And has an hdd sandrosandro482#8710: I fixed the problem sandrosandro482#8710: My gpu was pushing against the sata port mi3night#2562: Oh what the lmao Budget#8265: unique issue Xbox 360 1953#2640: could anyone recommend me a 950$ laptop for gaming?
Xbox 360 1953#2640: Don't really know what to look for in laptops JustinXenyx#8854: An issue i personally found myself in regarding laptops in general is that specs really don't mean anything JustinXenyx#8854: Like you can have 3 laptops with exact 1:1 specs, but all of them performing wildly different Xbox 360 1953#2640: yeah, thats what I was gonna say JustinXenyx#8854: Ideally speaking, you'd be best off looking at what you can find, then trying to find reviews for it etc and that's how you would come to a conclusion JustinXenyx#8854: Because laptops aren't about pure specs, they're a bit more personal in that regard JustinXenyx#8854: You gotta decide for yourself if you want good battery life at full filt, a good display, good specs etc etc Xbox 360 1953#2640: I'll see about doing that, thanks Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Rules of thumb: Always get a 1080p IPS screen or better, and always buy a machine a bit stronger than your current needs(trust me on this) Charlie Foxtrot#9831: And get something with an SSD out of the box and 2 slots for RAM sticks and some sort of fan control(not power control, don't confuse them, again, trust me on this) mi3night#2562: @Xbox 360 1953 I recommend you to go to your local tech shop to see which gaming laptop fits you such as external build quality, weight, keyboard, trackpad, and the overall size Then come back and we will discuss the cooling, reliability, and other topics mi3night#2562: But this is what I believe is the best for the buyer so that when the laptop arrives and you don’t get buyers remorse because the you hate the keyboard or the material the laptop was built in feels weird or it might be heavier than you thought it would be even though you saw the weight listed on the website Muse#0557: who is going to a local tech shop touching things during covid?
mi3night#2562: everyone that i know mi3night#2562: get a pair of gloves mi3night#2562: thats what I say mi3night#2562: But still mi3night#2562: Even if they don’t touch it, at least they can see it irl mi3night#2562: For gaming laptops right on the top of my head I think of Lenovo legion 5 mi3night#2562: 4800h 2060 mi3night#2562: If the price is raised then a similar non discount model is 4600h 1660ti for $950 mi3night#2562: I really dig the design of legion 5 because it looks pretty professional instead of full gaming style mi3night#2562: https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-1920x1080-Processor-Windows-82B1000AUS/dp/B08BB9RWXD/ref=asc_df_B08BB9RWXD/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=459623382939&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=549264191590459707&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1013962&hvtargid=pla-1000827353687&psc=1 mi3night#2562: This is a 4800h but with a 1660ti for $988 mi3night#2562: Asus TUF A15 also exists but I didn’t have much luck with asus laptops in the past Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Damn 4800H and 1660 Ti with 16GB of RAM and 512GB SSD for a hair under $1000 mi3night#2562: Also 144hz ips screen Charlie Foxtrot#9831: ```PROS:
- build quality is excellent, - specs are insane, - 2.5kg and the dimensions make it really portable, - screen is amazing! 144Hz and 300nits. - Ryzen 7 4800H... - GTX 1660ti is great for video editing and gaming! - laptop feels premium! CONS: - speakers are mediocre. Volume is decent but the sound quality is ok. -battery is really bad...less that 4 hours. - there is no international warranty (now this is Lenovo fault)! To be honest, this laptop is best buy at this price (999$). I'm really glad I bought it!
Edit: There is a lot of problems with Linux... I actually thought Lenovo was the best with open source drivers and support for Linux...I was wrong. ``` Charlie Foxtrot#9831: There's this review Charlie Foxtrot#9831: From Amazon mi3night#2562: Most gamers have a headset so speakers are out of question Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Bad battery, speakers, and nonexistent Linux support mi3night#2562: Battery life wise, it’s a gaming laptop duh mi3night#2562: Also Linux. Gamers use windows Charlie Foxtrot#9831: True that Charlie Foxtrot#9831: I was expecting about ~5 hours tho mi3night#2562: If he wants something with good specs, good speaker, really good battery, and portability get dell xps mi3night#2562: But that’s MacBook pricing so he can’t afford it Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Yeah
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Acceptable trade-offs I guess mi3night#2562: I tell creators who want a MacBook alternative for a xps mi3night#2562: It does the same job as a MacBook but better Charlie Foxtrot#9831: What about those Gigabyte ones with OLED screens? mi3night#2562: Better cooling, screen, and upgrade but MacBook still have better trackpad mi3night#2562: They’re expensive mi3night#2562: The gigabyte oled screen ones Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Hmm mi3night#2562: Or you’re talking about mini led mi3night#2562: I forgot Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Mini LED is for MSI(?) I think? mi3night#2562: Dell xps, being a MacBook competitor have 2nvme slots and sodimm mi3night#2562: And no glued batteries mi3night#2562: That’s what I think the ultra book industry is lacking rn Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Aside from the Legion Gaming one, are there any other options? Maybe Clevo or Tongfang machines? HP, Dell?
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Oh and we should check if it's the 80Wh or 60Wh version for the Lenovo Charlie Foxtrot#9831: This is the 5-hour 60Wh version mi3night#2562: As far as I know only g5 SE have ryzen mi3night#2562: But mi3night#2562: Amd dgpu which have driver problem mi3night#2562: HP wise, they have a pretty decent ultra book for $899 which has a 4800h inside but no dgpu mi3night#2562: And if he want a OMEN he’s looking at $1249 mi3night#2562: @Charlie Foxtrot don’t u love how the OG asker just left mi3night#2562: I wouldn’t do this but this is a hella weird idea mi3night#2562: https://rjtech.com/shop/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=30766 mi3night#2562: Get this thing, get r5 3600 and 16gb of ram for $300 mi3night#2562: And boom mi3night#2562: Again mi3night#2562: Don’t roast me for this mi3night#2562: It’s a weird idea
mi3night#2562: But it’s funny JustinXenyx#8854: > Bad battery, speakers, and nonexistent Linux support @Charlie Foxtrot it has an Nvidia GPU, what do you expect mi3night#2562: ^^ mi3night#2562: 5600m on the g5 SE exists but drivers mi3night#2562: Ohhh you’re talking about Linux support Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Yeah that thing looks good....if you have the cash mi3night#2562: It’s fun Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Over $1000 mi3night#2562: But I wouldn’t recommend it Charlie Foxtrot#9831: With a 3600 Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Why? mi3night#2562: Clevo advertise their battery as a UPS mi3night#2562: You know the battery life is gonna be non existent even if it has a r5 3600 in it Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Cap it at 1.5Ghz :Hahahahaha:
JustinXenyx#8854: Clevo would be more correct with that though mi3night#2562: It’s meant to be plugged in at all times mi3night#2562: IIRC JustinXenyx#8854: They know those laptops won't be used for any mobile on-battery stuff, the people that buy them know that too mi3night#2562: It’s a fun project I can see but not for practical use Charlie Foxtrot#9831: https://www.eluktronics.com/RP-15/ Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Ryzen with 115W RTX 2060 Charlie Foxtrot#9831: > Cap it at 1.5Ghz :Hahahahaha: I am actually wondering what would happen if you cap a 6-core CPU at 2Ghz or lower Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Would the number of cores be able to compensate for the low clock speed? JustinXenyx#8854: the short answer is no and the long answer is fuck no JustinXenyx#8854: You'd be better off compensating cores and clockspeed at the same time for a modest experience mi3night#2562: No lol mi3night#2562: I have no idea what r5 3600 would equal to in terms of power and heat draw compared to other mobile cous mi3night#2562: If I have to guess? 10850h? Or 10750h?
JustinXenyx#8854: Midnight we have Zen 2 mobile JustinXenyx#8854: Why compare to Intel Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Lol mi3night#2562: Rn it’s 4900h mi3night#2562: That’s the best Zen2 mobile cpu right? mi3night#2562: I bet it’s still cooler than 10300h Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Yep JustinXenyx#8854: 4600H should be the closest comparison to a regular R5 3600 mi3night#2562: No I meant in terms of thermals and heat mi3night#2562: And power draw JustinXenyx#8854: Midnight, you literally cannot compare that fairly JustinXenyx#8854: > 4600H should be the closest comparison to a regular R5 3600 that's not even accurate, the 4600H is going to reek against a 3600 in a lot of stuff because of the massive L3 cache size difference mi3night#2562: 4600h is still better than 10750h if I’m correct mi3night#2562: Both 6c12t
mi3night#2562: Iirc 10750h is a refresh of 9750h which is a refresh of 8750h @JustinXenyx mi3night#2562: I think I might be wrong Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Haha 14nm goes +++++ Charlie Foxtrot#9831: > No I meant in terms of thermals and heat @mi3night lol every laptop has a different design so it is impossible mi3night#2562: Idk at this point mi3night#2562: I might commit arm MacBook then get laughed at for being a 1st gen adopter Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Actually I am interested in the GPU performance Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Of ARM Macbooks Charlie Foxtrot#9831: And whether there is an implementation of Bootcamp which allows you to install Linux or Windows 😎 Charlie Foxtrot#9831: @mi3night You think they will do an Intel 2006 move and stop supporting older Intel Macs right after ARM ones come out? mi3night#2562: tbf i doubt it becasue if they do that then many of the peoples who bought mac pros and macbook pros are going to lose faith in apple @Charlie Foxtrot mi3night#2562: i mean if i spent 20 grand on a machine and it get discontinued in 3 years i be pissed Charlie Foxtrot#9831: But how did they get away last time? mi3night#2562: yeah true about that
mi3night#2562: but as of now mi3night#2562: it's very uncertain mi3night#2562: because the mac population right now is WAY more than what it is before mi3night#2562: thats what i think how apple got away with it Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Anyways it's your daily dose of Apple bad mi3night#2562: lmfao mi3night#2562: i was just joking about the arm macbook part mi3night#2562: im still a gamer you know mi3night#2562: im better off buying a ipad air instead of getting a arm macbook Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Apple and gamer Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Words that should never exist in the same sentence mi3night#2562: steve jobs tried Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Nintendo 64 emulator lmao mi3night#2562: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80guchXqz14 mi3night#2562: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eZ2yvWl9nQ

Charlie Foxtrot#9831: But it was revolutionary at the time Charlie Foxtrot#9831: I miss old Apple mi3night#2562: i like the apple watches mi3night#2562: they're just way better than the competition imo Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Wait why am I lamenting my mortal enemy Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Time to get another dose of Apple Bad mi3night#2562: it's ok to be unbiased at once mi3night#2562: ok mi3night#2562: your stage mi3night#2562: say it Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Reeeeee Type-C connectors reeeeee mi3night#2562: lmfao mi3night#2562: XPS and surface: just look and smile Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Noooooooooo Charlie Foxtrot#9831: I am moving back to my HP and Acer
JustinXenyx#8854: > But how did they get away last time? @Charlie Foxtrot PowerPC macs weren't really strongly adopted at the time iirc Xbox 360 1953#2640: Someone's trying to tell me that the Asus a15 proc is socketed Xbox 360 1953#2640: How do I nicely tell them they are have the stupid Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Give them a picture of the motherboard lol Xbox 360 1953#2640: They claim to have seen the internals Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Pull up the AMD spec sheet and the Notebookcheck article for the 4800H Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Highlight the BGA word Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Then politely say: "Your brain is so minute, that if a hungry cannibal cracked your head open, there wouldn't be enough to cover a small wafer biscuit." mi3night#2562: If ryzen mobile is socketed then :woag: :simp: Racey#8574: Haven't heard of a socketed mobile CPU in 6 years mi3night#2562: Unless you put 1151 or am4 into a laptop like clevo D.D.M#8226: I know dell made a laptop with a socketed cpu not too long ago Foxious#1859: @MythologicalZ i saw your role and that you werent playing any game, is pinging you a crime? as i have a tech releated question JustinXenyx#8854: How about you ping ~the role~ instead and directly ask your question?
JustinXenyx#8854: :Xdxdxd: MythologicalZ#3752: Cant guarantee I'll have an answer but I dont mind pings Foxious#1859: true that, and thanks mate Foxious#1859: just wondering Foxious#1859: as i have a high end motherboard from the era, should a I7 3770K bring a significant upgrade over the I4 3570K i have currently? MythologicalZ#3752: yeah it would MythologicalZ#3752: even a sandy i7 would be MythologicalZ#3752: ht really helps on the old quads JustinXenyx#8854: IMO the more important thing is the price question MythologicalZ#3752: this is also true Foxious#1859: in case you were wondering about the mobo MythologicalZ#3752: 1155 unlocked i7s are expensive for what they are Foxious#1859: asus p8z77-v pro JustinXenyx#8854: Shouldn't overpay for a 3770k or even 2600k, as there is a point where you're better off selling your old gear and upgrading to a new platform JustinXenyx#8854: Having decent gear on an old platform shouldn't be used to justify overspending either
Foxious#1859: well, locked then as im not that comfortable (yes enklish) with overclocking MythologicalZ#3752: oc is fine MythologicalZ#3752: plenty of voltage headroom on old intel MythologicalZ#3752: and they arent particularly hard to cool at gaming clocks Charlie Foxtrot#9831: > I know dell made a laptop with a socketed cpu not too long ago @D.D.M They did? You mean the chunky Alienware A51 laptop? Yeah, it is great, until you realized that the $5,000 laptop needs 2 different mobos just for RAM speeds, has an obscure bastardization of the MXM slot that Dell only supports for 1 gen of NVIDIA GPUs before moving on, doesn't support XMP and subsequent BIOS updates imposing power and thermal limits for fear of cooking the fancy 14nm++++++++ Intel chip alive MythologicalZ#3752: chip still hits 100c lol Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Yep MythologicalZ#3752: anyway MythologicalZ#3752: 1155 oc is safe MythologicalZ#3752: running 1.3 44 on my 2600k with a single fan thermalright and everything is fine, barely 60c max MythologicalZ#3752: 66c max cb20 load MythologicalZ#3752: 59c cb15 Charlie Foxtrot#9831: And the CB15 result? MythologicalZ#3752: 763
MythologicalZ#3752: running some mixed 1866 shit with a bloated 10 install Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Damn that's pretty close to my mobile 7700HQ chip @ 3.4Ghz all cores Charlie Foxtrot#9831: ~780 something D.D.M#8226: Yeah D.D.M#8226: Its a bad idea to put a socketed cpu in a laptop DarknessFalls229#2286: Not really, it all depends on thermals and tdp. If you have a socketed chip you will have less height to cool it, but with a soldered chip you wont be able to replace/upgrade it. And keep in mind, there exist laptop sockets aswell Charlie Foxtrot#9831: And good design choices Muse#0557: @Alcyone What do i need to do with the h67 board i had to get 3rd gen going @JustinXenyx Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Update the BIOS Muse#0557: Intel dont store the updates anymore Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Oh Charlie Foxtrot#9831: You got an Intel board Muse#0557: They wiped it clean because they are scum Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Hmm, maybe use Internet Archive? Muse#0557: For a 2012 intel bios page
Muse#0557: Idek where to begin Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Archive.org Muse#0557: Intel has so much on their site Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Let me see... Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Did they delete the drivers after 2015/2016 or earlier? Muse#0557: https://drivers.softpedia.com/get/BIOS/Intel/Intel-DH67CL-Desktop-Board-BIOS-0163.shtml Muse#0557: I've found this Muse#0557: I think its the latest Muse#0557: I assume it adds ivy support Muse#0557: But i cant find any info on when it released Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Download it and check its file properties Charlie Foxtrot#9831: There should be a digital signature and the date with it Muse#0557: I umm Muse#0557: Dont see an option to update the bios lmao Muse#0557: Oh intel boards do through umm f7 on boot
Muse#0557: Dont they Muse#0557: @Charlie Foxtrot Ive updated it but like the fan is at 100% and it takes 3 fan revs to boot Muse#0557: Yikes Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Oh no Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Reset the BIOS to default? Muse#0557: Im going to now Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Why do I have a bad feeling about this Muse#0557: Idk man Muse#0557: Its ignoring f2 Muse#0557: Yay Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Time to chunk it into the garbage chute :Hahahahaha: Muse#0557: I had it plugged into the rear fan for some reason the cpu header and the other chassis fan are white but the rear is red Muse#0557: Gonna Muse#0557: Try again now Muse#0557: Right now i just need to figure out intel boot agent
Muse#0557: Because it keeps spending like 30 seconds trying to boot to a network before trying the hdd Muse#0557: Even though i have network as a low priority Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Check Intel PXE settings Charlie Foxtrot#9831: It should be in the BIOS Muse#0557: Struggling to get in atm Muse#0557: Its just ignoring F2 Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Hold the key constantly Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Or just boot into Windows' Safe Mode and access UEFI from there Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Hold the Shift key then hit the Restart option in Windows Charlie Foxtrot#9831: So? Does it work? Muse#0557: Yeh ive built the whole pc Muse#0557: Its working nicely got heaven on loop maxed out running for a few hours Alcyone#2233: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005630/boards-and-kits.html If the board is a compatible version but on bios before 0132 you have to flash that first, then you can flash any bios 0151 or later. If it doesn't update intel me to 8.x you have to use recovery method. I maybe just would from the start.
Alcyone#2233: @Muse Muse#0557: Ive already done it now Muse#0557: Getting into the rhythm of dealing with weird quirks on mobos also Muse#0557: Easiest build I've done Muse#0557: Just wondering whats the proper name for cmos jumpers Muse#0557: I need more Alcyone#2233: they are just called jumpers, pin header jumper or jumper block, 2.54mm Alcyone#2233: 2.54mm pin header jumper I think is the official technical term mi3night#2562: 1155 laptops with 2600k exists* Alcyone: :Poog: :Poog: Budget#8265: they exist Alcyone#2233: 2600K :Yessi: laptop :Noo: MarcosCodas#6375: Hey everyone... is it realistic to try and get an i5 6400 or similar for around US$50 in the US? Friend of mine has a compatible board with a celeron and I want to help them upgrade
Alcyone#2233: TBH sandy isnt any good unless its heavily overclocked, and overclocking isn't cheap. I think its oficially obsolete now that 1st gen ryzen is so affordable Alcyone#2233: I dont think Ryzen 5000 is going to tank prices of ryzen 3000 like I thought though, theres a large price gap between similar skus Alcyone#2233: One thing I did get right is the 5800x,5900x and 5950x do not include a cooler Alcyone#2233: @MarcosCodas https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=i5+6400&_sacat=0&rt=nc&LH_Sold=1&LH_Complete=1 possibly MarcosCodas#6375: OK! Thank you @Alcyone ! MarcosCodas#6375: I was looking with live auctions in mind but it didn't look too promising, stock seems to be low for some reason MarcosCodas#6375: You guys know what this could be about? MarcosCodas#6375: There are issues with this CPU! It will not allow Windows 10 to be installed as it comes up with unsupported CPU when you start the process. I have successfully gotten Windows 7 and Windows 8 to install and work with this CPU with one thing to note: Once you start updating Windows, it gets to the second batch of updates then the computer will freeze. As you can see in the pictures, the motherboard recognizes the CPU, the windows 8 installation recognizes the CPU and my son was using it without issue, you just can't keep updating the operating system. MarcosCodas#6375: It's on a 6th gen intel chip so it should be fine Budget#8265: That should be fine, it was only recently Win 10 dropped Pentium 4 Support (Older Pentium 4s) MarcosCodas#6375: Yeah, why doesn't it work, though? right? MarcosCodas#6375: That's the seller's listing Budget#8265: Bent pins on mobo? Budget#8265: ive seen that cause erratic behaviour MarcosCodas#6375: Yeah, odd... anyway, put an offer on it
MarcosCodas#6375: My friend's using Win7 anyway MarcosCodas#6375: lol MarcosCodas#6375: Success!!! https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/764164309844492298/2020-10-09_13_35_52-Receipt_for_your_payment_-_marcoscodasgmail.com_-_Gmail_-_Chromium.png MarcosCodas#6375: Thanks @Budget ! Think I got a pretty good deal Budget#8265: Not bad for that price Budget#8265: I think the T Models OC high if you can OC them MarcosCodas#6375: Nah, she's a graphic designer MarcosCodas#6375: She needs reliability and low power draw more than a few extra mhz MarcosCodas#6375: This will do just fine I think Budget#8265: Solid stuff Budget#8265: They do perform well Budget#8265: Fairly sure @bawner is still on my old Core i3 6100 MarcosCodas#6375: She's running a Celeron G3900 MarcosCodas#6375: So MarcosCodas#6375: 4GB of RAM and HDD
MarcosCodas#6375: I'm putting together an upgrade kit MarcosCodas#6375: This 6600T, 4GB more RAM and an SSD MarcosCodas#6375: I think she'll be quite pleased Budget#8265: Thatll make a huge difference Tinybox#9112: yooo anyone know how a 965M compares to an RX 480M? And if I should go for a laptop that has an @i7 6700hq +965m (broken keyboard would buy a new one from germany for 35 euros) (Acer Aspire V 17 Nitro Black Edition) or Core i7-3840QM + RX 480M (The laptop would be an older workstation) It would cost ~50-100 more than the i7 6700HQ one mi3night#2562: @Tinybox which older workstation ? mi3night#2562: M6700? Tinybox#9112: HP W series mi3night#2562: Ohhhhh Tinybox#9112: Hp elitebook w series mi3night#2562: I’d take the 8770w if that’s the laptop mi3night#2562: It’s just a overall better as a laptop mi3night#2562: Compared to the acer
Tinybox#9112: alr mi3night#2562: 6700hq is newer so it’s more efficient mi3night#2562: But 965m meme mi3night#2562: Also rx480 laptop? @Tinybox mi3night#2562: Mxm right Tinybox#9112: ye Tinybox#9112: BUT Tinybox#9112: the mxm is seperate Tinybox#9112: I can buy one for 100 rn Tinybox#9112: more like I can buy a total of 5x if I wanted to Tinybox#9112: From an ex- "mining rig setup" Tinybox#9112: the laptop comes with a quadroo something mi3night#2562: I prefer the 8770w is that it’s built better, better keyboard, trackpad, upgradability, and probably cooling too but the cpu is hot mi3night#2562: I had a 3820qm in a MacBook and it’s 🔥 Tinybox#9112: but its a macbook
Tinybox#9112: but yeah Tinybox#9112: prolly a HOT cpu Tinybox#9112: ah btw I forgot Tinybox#9112: to list exact prices mi3night#2562: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/764174958846672936/image0.png mi3night#2562: Is it like this! Tinybox#9112: wiait what Tinybox#9112: yea Tinybox#9112: 79 what? Tinybox#9112: Oh it's a bid mi3night#2562: I’d get that over a gaming laptop all day imo Tinybox#9112: also what about the dell precision m6700 Tinybox#9112: is that decent as well? Tinybox#9112: p.s the acer aspire is 150 + (40 Euro Keyboard +SSD I need to buy) the Workstation is 150-200 +100 for the MXM card

Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Yes Lady Mipha#0611: yes
Lady Mipha#0611: @sandrosandro482 sandrosandro482#8710: Damn JustinXenyx#8854: > yooo anyone know how a 965M compares to an RX 480M? > And if I should go for a laptop that has an @i7 6700hq +965m (broken keyboard would buy a new one from germany for 35 euros) (Acer Aspire V 17 Nitro Black Edition) or Core i7-3840QM + RX 480M (The laptop would be an older workstation) > It would cost ~50-100 more than the i7 6700HQ one @Tinybox the simple answer is that the 965m gets it's ass kicked by a mobile 480 JustinXenyx#8854: the extra cash probably wouldn't be worth it, simply because the workstation will perform better Charlie Foxtrot#9831: 965M is ~1050 level of performance I guess Muse#0557: Isnt the 965m about a 1050 Muse#0557: Ree Muse#0557: :monke: Muse#0557: Charlie Foxtrot for tech help Muse#0557: Smh JustinXenyx#8854: the 965m is about a mobile 960, so 1050-1050Ti perf isn't too unlikely JustinXenyx#8854: but obviously, it'll underperform a bit given cooling restrictions etc
Muse#0557: Its slower than a 1050 mobile iirc Muse#0557: Like a solid 15-20% plus its a more hungry card do doesnt reach what its capable of in most laptops Charlie Foxtrot#9831: vBIOS modding intensifies Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Yeah the 965M is a desktop 960 with TDP limits Charlie Foxtrot#9831: And lower clock and mem speed Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Fun fact: the 960M and 950M shares the same GPU chip Charlie Foxtrot#9831: 640 shader cores JustinXenyx#8854: Wouldn't be too surprised actually Charlie Foxtrot#9831: The latter has much lower mem speed JustinXenyx#8854: Nvidia did a lot of sketchy shit and artificial segmentation with their mobile and lower end cards JustinXenyx#8854: > Fun fact: the 960M and 950M shares the same GPU chip If i am not sorely mistaken, they also used that silicon for the Maxwell 2.0 refresh of the 750 Charlie Foxtrot#9831: No it's even worse Charlie Foxtrot#9831: 512 shader cores Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Unless you are talking about the Ti
JustinXenyx#8854: No that's right, i didn't say same chip i said same silicon Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Ah JustinXenyx#8854: Wait actually no, i think it's flipped the other way JustinXenyx#8854: 750/750Ti silicon became 950/960Ms JustinXenyx#8854: They recycled regular desktop 950 silicon for the 750 Maxwell 2 refresh Charlie Foxtrot#9831: 750 Ti = 950M/960M Charlie Foxtrot#9831: In any case, the RX480M is a good GPU Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Tho I am not sure how compatible it would be uoʇsodɾ#2412: How good are the 5700XT drivers today? Are they still like playing Russian roulette or have they improved? I consider the RX 480 to have reasonably stable drivers. mi3night#2562: @Tinybox as a laptop, I would use the elite book/ dell equivalent m6700 over that acer mi3night#2562: From a price perspective, you decide because you’re paying extra for that elite book Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Tho its CPU performance is... Charlie Foxtrot#9831: I don't know Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Here's a comment I found online: Charlie Foxtrot#9831: ```I was able to flash it, unfortunately, I have pinched a resistor from the PCB, the resistor was so small, I was not able to see it with naked eye, I had to use a DSLR a Macro Lens and a tripod. Anyway, again... if your machine already has Dreamcolor... lets say, might be a reason to upgrade, but if you don`t is just pure waste of money. I am using the laptop for Lightroom, photoshop and Premiere Pro... With i7 CPU 3940XM, 32 GB RAM, with 1TB SSD Samsung vNand... and my "new" K4000M gpu... it is still struggling, in PremierePro still freezes frames while video-playback and not even at full resolution, and most of my clips are around 10 seconds mark... Putting money into a laptop like this is like you are tuning your 1983 300 SDL Mercedes... It`s old```
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: @mi3night Tinybox#9112: Jeez Tinybox#9112: Thanks a LOT Charlie Foxtrot#9831: On paper the multicore sounds good Charlie Foxtrot#9831: But in reality optimization and generational differences can have huge impacts Charlie Foxtrot#9831: In the end..... Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Just build a PC :Hahahahaha: Charlie Foxtrot#9831: And get a Chromebook or smt Tinybox#9112: ***There's a reason why I'm saying Laptop*** :crome: I want to have a decent machine to go to school with do the programming, some cad..., **Also I want to sell my PC, and I want to take my sweet time picking out parts to get the best deals** so I also want something that can still do all my games just fine Tinybox#9112: Also I hate chromebooks ;-; Tinybox#9112: Normally I'd just take my macbook with me, but the Keyboard broke for the 3rd time Tinybox#9112: and replacing it is just a hassle
Tinybox#9112: *and a lot of money Charlie Foxtrot#9831: So if you go for the Acer: you get worse GPU performance, and less upgradability, but it works right out of the box with no hassle Tinybox#9112: ^^Thats why I considered it. But if it's that's much worse, it's arguable that the hassle may be worth it, at least from what has been said :thinking_peter: Charlie Foxtrot#9831: If you go for the HP: you get a chadian laptop that can be upgraded to Pxxxx GPUs and RX GPUs, but needs a hell lot of modding and dedication , the stubborn HP BIOS and worst of all, it might not turn out great Charlie Foxtrot#9831: In conclusion, PC B O I Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Or you could look around for deals Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Again Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Or just save up money and buy a new shit Charlie Foxtrot#9831: > ^^Thats why I considered it. > But if it's that's much worse, it's arguable that the hassle may be worth it, at least from what has been said :thinking_peter: Also the NVIDIA drivers are at least stable, not like AMD who just likes to spasm every so often just for the sake of it Charlie Foxtrot#9831: I'd prefer the Acer personally Charlie Foxtrot#9831: ~~It's not like I have one heh~~ Charlie Foxtrot#9831: ~~With good fan control software~~
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: But again the 1050 GPU perfomance Charlie Foxtrot#9831: What to do, what to do... Charlie Foxtrot#9831: And Jesus hahahahah Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Notebookcheck ranking is actually bullshit Tinybox#9112: I'll be honest here, I did quite a bit of research. The Bios is my biggest worry atm, however I've seen quite a few people upgrade these with HP Elitebooks with MXM cards. ***also, my biggest hope of compatability is that the RX 480M is a HP OEM card*** Tinybox#9112: Apparently RX 480s got great stability though Charlie Foxtrot#9831: The RX Vega 8 in the Renoir APU is supposedly 3% faster than the 965M Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Yet only has ~3300 FS score compared to the other's ~5000 Charlie Foxtrot#9831: LMAO AYYY Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Can you find any other sensible deals online? And maybe local stores? Tinybox#9112: Local stores? That would be a real hassle Pretty much looked pretty thoroughly online Tinybox#9112: btw the two laptops "Elitebooks"
are the HP ELITEBOOK 8760w and the 8570w Tinybox#9112: for the 8570w I'd need an extended heatsink Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Let me see...

Tinybox#9112: What's that equivalent to? Tinybox#9112: btw I just decided to ask the seller, about compatability. Tinybox#9112: He said "The 8760w, probably won't be compatible since it doesn't support Polaris cards" Charlie Foxtrot#9831: It's a 980M Tesla edition Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Suggested in the same thread I linked above Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Sounds like a great choice without having to put up with AMD drivers Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Tho vBIOSes can be a pain Charlie Foxtrot#9831: ```No, Tesla M6 is 20% slower than M5000M``` Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Bruh

Tinybox#9112: I essentially received the same response when I went onto that forum Tinybox#9112: IT was something along the lines of "it may work.., it may not" And that: "You should probably look for Maxwell/Pascal cards, since those have been confirmed to work with a small bios mod which they are many tutorials avaliable for" Charlie Foxtrot#9831: I think Mirage made good points Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Newer CPU gen, faster RAM speed, RAID, mSATA support, etc... for 8770W Charlie Foxtrot#9831: And those NVIDIA GPU choices(980M/M5000M) Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Not a lot of people know about the existence of MXM RX cards and as such, very few bought one in order to test them out Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Let me pull me some threads about Alienware laptops: Charlie Foxtrot#9831: http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/m18x-r2-and-rx-480-4gb.832062/ Charlie Foxtrot#9831: http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/alienware-17-ranger-the-rx-480m.832053/ JustinXenyx#8854: > And that: "You should probably look for Maxwell/Pascal cards, since those have been confirmed to work with a small bios mod which they are many tutorials avaliable for" @Tinybox that's pretty much what i'd say too, even if the 480 Mobile is cheaper it might not be worth the hassle of trying to get it working properly Charlie Foxtrot#9831: http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/m6700-m6800-with-polaris-based-mxm-card-possible.826872/ Charlie Foxtrot#9831: @JustinXenyx Yeah most of the time only a slight inf driver modding is needed
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: In the case of the HP, well, they combine the system BIOS and the vBIOS, and to top it all off they encrypt it Charlie Foxtrot#9831: So it might be a little pickier Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Also Tiny you can look at M4700/4800 as well ^ Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Peak Dell workstation laptops mi3night#2562: They’re expensive tho mi3night#2562: Unless you can get one for cheap mi3night#2562: But here in the US nah mi3night#2562: @Charlie Foxtrot also for the cpu right?

Tinybox#9112: Thanks a ton tho mi3night#2562: @Tinybox dell m6000 series however its 17 inch and is overpriced Tinybox#9112: @mi3night going dell m6000 would give me a solid ground to pursure the rx 480 since someone has done it before Tinybox#9112: But I cant find a cheap one mi3night#2562: Yeah the elite book is awesome mi3night#2562: @Tinybox also fyi the elite book has 4 dimm Yuuki#4509: Can i ask for help here?

No problemo JustinXenyx#8854: Off my head, not really D.D.M#8226: Hey guys does anybody know the stablest driver version for an r9 280x?

Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Well, one thing for sure, Silverstone is a decent brand DarknessFalls229#2286: Are we sure thats its the psu though and not some driver issue DarknessFalls229#2286: Like if youre taking too much power, can you see if you can underclock and undervolt the gpu and see if it works then Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Yeah I haven't thought of that mi3night#2562: @Yuuki I used a 400w silverstone psu in my 2nd rig before. I didn’t have a problem with it mi3night#2562: But they’re not the well known brand like seasonic or Corsair mi3night#2562: So your experience will vary

DarknessFalls229#2286: ive had this OCZ 700w PSU for a while now DarknessFalls229#2286: and its like 10+ years old DarknessFalls229#2286: still being good to me DarknessFalls229#2286: but i should upgrade Yuuki#4509: > you just need one thats true to its ratings @DarknessFalls229 yep. This psu that I have rn *isn't* true to it's ratings Yuuki#4509: It's a korean 700w psu, and others have said that it's a "car bomb" Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Lol probably has the same origins with the Note 7 Yuuki#4509: > Lol probably has the same origins with the Note 7 @Charlie Foxtrot it probably does Yuuki#4509: Ok. So I found a budget corsair psu Yuuki#4509: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/764834074165641226/Screenshot_2020-10-11-20-56-43-942_com.shopee.ph.jpg Yuuki#4509: Is this better than the silverstone one? Yuuki#4509: CV450 vs Silverstone Strider Essential 700w Tinybox#9112: @Charlie Foxtrot @mi3night @JustinXenyx
I felt like I need to update, but after research and talking with more with the Notebook Forum people.. I found out that the RX 480 mobile wouldn't work without any go arounds from the getgo, needing me to use AMD ENDURO (Basically; GPU renders, IGPU handles final output) to even output to the main display of the Elitebook, otherwise I'd be stuck using external Displays. This is due to the HP using an LVDs screen and the RX 480 only supporting EDP displays. :crome: if you ask me what edp and lvds is I barely have any idea, but it's a connection standard. -- This btw ^^Would ALSO make using the NVidia TESLA M6 ***technically*** possible from what I can understand, after a driver .inf mod, and utilizing NVidia Optimus,,, no idea how you'd set it up though,, from what I can understand would also make outputting into the other connectors impossible because the rest depend on the mxm gpu, so only VGA, and the Main screen would have ouput capability Tinybox#9112: **headache** Budget#8265: @Yuuki ive used a few of those in builds, and they seem alright from what I have used of them Yuuki#4509: > @Yuuki ive used a few of those in builds, and they seem alright from what I have used of them @Budget Then I'll be getting the cv450! Thanks for replying, Budget! Charlie Foxtrot#9831: @Tinybox So, in a nutshell, the iGPU is a middle man Tinybox#9112: *also I've also read that using nvidia optimus/amd enduro results in pefomance losses Tinybox#9112: @Charlie Foxtrot yes Tinybox#9112: *perfomance losses up to 20% Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Not quite performance losses, more like input lag Tinybox#9112: perhaps that as well, but I just asked a guy for confirmation on that Charlie Foxtrot#9831: That's the downside of chunking a 2016 GPU into a 2012 laptop
Tinybox#9112: not neccesarily, I asked what laptops would work Tinybox#9112: and I got a reply like this: Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Damn I need to take a look at your thread Tinybox#9112: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/764840331870076928/unknown.png Tinybox#9112: It really isnt only my thread anymore lol Budget#8265: What dies it need to power @Yuuki Budget#8265: I used them for R3 3100 and RX470 style builds Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Yeah those machines are pretty damn expensive Charlie Foxtrot#9831: The M6800 will cost upwards of $500 Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Same goes for others Tinybox#9112: I can acquire a HP zbook g2 for 200 euros atm, after intense searching Tinybox#9112: but like Tinybox#9112: 2 core i5 Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Link to the deal? Tinybox#9112: And an i7, would set me back ~50 euros
Tinybox#9112: @Charlie Foxtrot its a local store Charlie Foxtrot#9831: No GPU? Tinybox#9112: it does Tinybox#9112: But it's a dog shit gpu Tinybox#9112: But it sports the mxm slot needed because of that Charlie Foxtrot#9831: What GPU exactly? Tinybox#9112: a sec Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Maybe you can flip it for $40 Charlie Foxtrot#9831: As well as the i5 Tinybox#9112: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/764842057722232892/unknown.png Tinybox#9112: my biggest worry with this tho is Tinybox#9112: ^^it may have that mxm slot Tinybox#9112: But Tinybox#9112: it's an MXM a card Tinybox#9112: which means the listing may be false
Tinybox#9112: and its not a g1 Tinybox#9112: well more like offer may be Charlie Foxtrot#9831: ??? Tinybox#9112: the k610m is an mxm a card, which suggests that the slot may be mxm a only Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Oh Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Yeah, MXM B can use both MXM A and MXM B standard cards Charlie Foxtrot#9831: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_PCI_Express_Module Tinybox#9112: ye ik D.D.M#8226: Hey guys does anybody know the stablest driver version for an r9 280x? D.D.M#8226: Since many games crash the whole pc with a weird pattern on the screen but stressing the gpu doesn't give any artifacts Charlie Foxtrot#9831: http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/i-need-help-big-help-zbook-17-polaris-ellesmere.832444/ Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Jesus this is one hell of a rabbit hole Charlie Foxtrot#9831: https://eurocom.com/ec/upgrade(2,441,0)HPZbook17G2 Charlie Foxtrot#9831: According to Eurocom it supports MXM 3b Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Yet all GPUs it is shipped with is MXM 3a standard
