NecroFlex#9105: which CPU? NecroFlex#9105: oh nvm, x2 DarknessFalls229#2286: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/812362786423832646/unknown.png NecroFlex#9105: so a dual core NecroFlex#9105: de_dust it NecroFlex#9105: or welll first try the CMOS battery thing i said, then clean it up Rea77y#6618: Anything looks suspicious about the ram? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/812363163768324167/20210219_184057.jpg Rea77y#6618: Looks like a good kit DarknessFalls229#2286: looks like a good kit Rea77y#6618: I let it sit powered on NecroFlex#9105: i mean i can't see anything since it's blurry, but it's g.skill, those are ok Rea77y#6618: Cooler heated up DarknessFalls229#2286: but my suspision still lies with the motherboard or CPU Rea77y#6618: I think cpu is probably alive NecroFlex#9105: was this after a storm?
Rea77y#6618: No DarknessFalls229#2286: do all the other parts bar the CPU and mobo work in a different system? NecroFlex#9105: did he say anything on what happened? Just didn't turn on one day? Did it turn off mid work? Rea77y#6618: They do Rea77y#6618: Tested gpu and ram Rea77y#6618: Both are fine Rea77y#6618: Psu works DarknessFalls229#2286: and PSU? DarknessFalls229#2286: ah alright DarknessFalls229#2286: yeah my guess is then the motherboard or CPU crapped out, do you have a replacement cpu? Rea77y#6618: Nah am3 is old Rea77y#6618: I talked to the owners they are fine with upgrading to ryzen ment to replace it long ago anyway DarknessFalls229#2286: oh damn, nice Rea77y#6618: Just wanted me to get the data off told them it's fine DarknessFalls229#2286: give them like a 2200G?
DarknessFalls229#2286: or that NecroFlex#9105: there's only 3 options: 1. Chipset died 2. Bad bios, gigabyte's dual bios worked fuck all 3. dust is messing up with the contacts CPU i doubt died, if it's a 2 core on that mobo and cooler, unless he had an uber overclock, i doubt it DarknessFalls229#2286: never had issues with dust here Rea77y#6618: Their son runs machine learning simulations DarknessFalls229#2286: but yeah, mobo is prime suspect Rea77y#6618: A 3600 Rea77y#6618: Should be good NecroFlex#9105: i've had dust get into either ram, pcie or cpu socket, after years of neglect, it can get into anywhere DarknessFalls229#2286: well, considering what they currently have my guess was that they didnt need much Rea77y#6618: He uses his work laptop now
DarknessFalls229#2286: how the hell does it dust get into those places if they are occupied Rea77y#6618: But client said he wants the new build to be powerful DarknessFalls229#2286: ahhh DarknessFalls229#2286: yeah 3600 will be good, though GPU is gonna be expensive during these times Rea77y#6618: Is gpu necessary for that Rea77y#6618: I just don't know much about ai DarknessFalls229#2286: prolly the CPU is gonna be most important, but dunno how much will be run on a GPU as that is too good at parallization Rea77y#6618: Will a 1650 super be enough Rea77y#6618: It's being sold right now kinda close to msrp NecroFlex#9105: I'll try to find a pic, but on one of our recycling trips, we went to a grain factory and gathered up the old PCs for recycling. When you lifted up that poor 775 CPU, the whole socket beneath was covered in residue from the grain Rea77y#6618: My uncle is a heavy chain smoker Rea77y#6618: I fixed up his rig Rea77y#6618: I got a heart attack Rea77y#6618: I got him that case that ltt made a video of it being ip 67 DarknessFalls229#2286: lately ive worked on an old alienware pc, thing was baked in a layer of dust
Rea77y#6618: With heavy filters DarknessFalls229#2286: but nothing in the sockets and slots Rea77y#6618: It was scary what happened in his old ones NecroFlex#9105: I think the best option for your uncle would be a fully enclosed passive PC 😛 Rea77y#6618: The amount of tar in that intel stock cooler Rea77y#6618: I'll never forget that DarknessFalls229#2286: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/812365697707540500/IMG-20210131-WA0005.jpeg DarknessFalls229#2286: already had cleaned the grill in that pic NecroFlex#9105: i've worked on those and complained t omy boss about it, because the fucking smell was horrible DarknessFalls229#2286: ikr NecroFlex#9105: he agreed and if we smell the PC before it ever comes close, we're already upping the repair price Rea77y#6618: Yes NecroFlex#9105: the price...thingy, hanged on the wall...idk the name, on the bottom it has specific prices for smoked up PCs, so even if anyone complains, it's right there in the pricing, anyone can read up on it bigmoney#0786: Tbh I don't know, I pressed the power button and it goes to the ROG motherboard screen where you either wait for it to boot to windows or go into the bios and it just stays there forever The United Earth citizen#0382: try putting a GPU into different slot if present
The United Earth citizen#0382: might be a pci-e issue or a memory controller issue bigmoney#0786: Alright zwect#1210: can i adapt this to NVME? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/812666679988322304/20210220_094703.jpg DarknessFalls229#2286: a 128GB 2.5" sata SSD? NecroFlex#9105: that's a normal sata drive? DarknessFalls229#2286: best you can do is adapt it to sata keyed m.2 zwect#1210: its an strange connector one DarknessFalls229#2286: wont get NVMe out of that DarknessFalls229#2286: wait what? NecroFlex#9105: ohhh NecroFlex#9105: 1.8" zwect#1210: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/812666964698857472/20210220_094817.jpg DarknessFalls229#2286: uhhhhh NecroFlex#9105: that's a ZIF socket NecroFlex#9105: old boi
zwect#1210: oh NecroFlex#9105: used mostly on smal notebooks back early 2000 zwect#1210: so its slow? DarknessFalls229#2286: like is that socket connected via the regular sata connection? DarknessFalls229#2286: can you take it off? NecroFlex#9105: up to around 2006/7 ish zwect#1210: i cant take that off NecroFlex#9105: actually zwect#1210: its from an old mac air my father had NecroFlex#9105: that's a LIF socket, not ZIF, but it's the same cable overall zwect#1210: oh shit NecroFlex#9105: "ZIF" stands for "Zero Insertion Force", and "LIF" stands for "Low Insertion Force". DarknessFalls229#2286: is it adaptable to a regular connection though zwect#1210: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/812667789667336192/unknown.png mynameistak3n#6865: can anyone help me, my GPU is not posting for some reason, i even bought new PSU for it, a 650 watt 80+ gold PSU, the GPU is a R9 370, i already connected the 6 pin connector and all
zwect#1210: not that worth it tho i guess? NecroFlex#9105: cable wise it's the same, difference is with that LIF sockets have springy pins to hold the cable while ZIF havea clamp in the end DarknessFalls229#2286: @mynameistak3n have you verified that the GPU works? DarknessFalls229#2286: @zwect might be just better to buy a regular sata or m.2 SSD mynameistak3n#6865: the seller verified the GPU works, but it wont post for me DarknessFalls229#2286: 128GB ones arent that expensive zwect#1210: yeah.. zwect#1210: any 3500mb read & write 128 ones? NecroFlex#9105: 128gb ssd's are cheap, going for around 20-25€, idk how much that adapter is tho mynameistak3n#6865: when i put it in my system everything also works, the fan spins etc mynameistak3n#6865: it just wont post DarknessFalls229#2286: what board do you have? NecroFlex#9105: no, lowest one is 256gb for high speeds and even then only Samsung PRO series and such, those go for waaaay more than cheap mynameistak3n#6865: MSI 970A-G45 AM3+ board zwect#1210: fck
DarknessFalls229#2286: seems like a fine board, do you still have your old GPU? zwect#1210: i use those sata server intel ones, 500mb write & read i was looking for some difference mynameistak3n#6865: yes i have an old power R7 240 mynameistak3n#6865: it works fine NecroFlex#9105: i mean you won't notice any difference between a normal NVMe and the pro one unless you're doing more than just gaming and such, pro worklloads can use up speed DarknessFalls229#2286: can you try plugging both in and boot into windows? mynameistak3n#6865: it will post and all zwect#1210: oh DarknessFalls229#2286: like using both your 240 and 370 mynameistak3n#6865: i dont have windows installed :/ DarknessFalls229#2286: uh DarknessFalls229#2286: well, try to boot at all then with both GPUs installed? zwect#1210: so 500mb is alrighty even if my boot speeds arent that fast? (i use amd so ik i cant go faster than what its going already) mynameistak3n#6865: and?
mynameistak3n#6865: go to bios? DarknessFalls229#2286: sure i guess DarknessFalls229#2286: id simply would like to see what an OS would say of the card DarknessFalls229#2286: hmmmm DarknessFalls229#2286: do you have UEFI boot enabled? mynameistak3n#6865: i dont currently DarknessFalls229#2286: try it i guess mynameistak3n#6865: okei DarknessFalls229#2286: the 370 might not have support for legacy boot mynameistak3n#6865: imma unpack it lol, i already packed it and gonna return it tmrw DarknessFalls229#2286: oh mynameistak3n#6865: should i disable legacy boot and try DarknessFalls229#2286: sure DarknessFalls229#2286: bit weird that you still ask for help eventhough youve already packed it and are planning to return it D.D.M#8226: @zwect also i think the same connector is used with the 6th and 7th gen ipods
zwect#1210: lol D.D.M#8226: Which you can find easily zwect#1210: dankpods moment D.D.M#8226: Yes D.D.M#8226: Lol mynameistak3n#6865: Yes because I'm still curious lol mynameistak3n#6865: Because when the seller tried it it works, but when I got the stuff it doesn't zwect#1210: imma just hold till i get a better airflow'ed case and might get an nvme just for the status since i wont see a good difference from 500mb r&w im not stuck to just gaming but i mostly game so ehh mynameistak3n#6865: @DarknessFalls229 i got my old windows 7 OS Drive what should I do next mynameistak3n#6865: Chek device manager and see if the GPU shows up? DarknessFalls229#2286: i guess first get a baseline and boot into windows with just the R7 240 installed DarknessFalls229#2286: then after you verified the whole system is up and functional add in the r9 370 into the second pcie slot mynameistak3n#6865: Shut down windows add the other gpu and boot it or just add the gpu DarknessFalls229#2286: of course shut down before adding it
mynameistak3n#6865: Ehehe DarknessFalls229#2286: you shouldnt be a dumbass like me to hotswap expansion cards D.D.M#8226: Lol DarknessFalls229#2286: _ive done it twice_ mynameistak3n#6865: Wait you did it? mynameistak3n#6865: How'd it went lol DarknessFalls229#2286: ok, but still dont recommend it D.D.M#8226: What in your haid said D.D.M#8226: Ej D.D.M#8226: Eh D.D.M#8226: It will be fine mynameistak3n#6865: I need to move the OS to the ssd DarknessFalls229#2286: in my head "eh whatever, lets see what happens" mynameistak3n#6865: GPU is too long mynameistak3n#6865: Won't fit in the 2nd slot
mynameistak3n#6865: It covers up the sata1 connector DarknessFalls229#2286: the put the r7 240 into the second slot and the R9 370 in the first, put the display cable into the r7 240 DarknessFalls229#2286: if the 240 doesnt give display try the 370 and otherwise well shucks mynameistak3n#6865: This is my first time like getting a half decent AMD GPU and it's already giving me a hard time mynameistak3n#6865: Thankfully I didn't go and buy a 580 DarknessFalls229#2286: yeah the gtx 580 is getting a bit old mynameistak3n#6865: No i mean the rx 580 lel DarknessFalls229#2286: ah, the rx 580 is pretty damn good though DarknessFalls229#2286: currently hella expensive aswell mynameistak3n#6865: Yeah but i heard the power color version is very niosy mynameistak3n#6865: I found a 580 4gb from power color, it's cheaper than a 1650 and 1050Ti mynameistak3n#6865: New DarknessFalls229#2286: damn DarknessFalls229#2286: id take that mynameistak3n#6865: I want to go get the 970 but budget is pretty tight after the new CPU mobo combo
mynameistak3n#6865: Oh shit bsod DarknessFalls229#2286: the fx cpu combo? DarknessFalls229#2286: and thats bad DarknessFalls229#2286: what did the bsod say? mynameistak3n#6865: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/812675370327343154/20210220_202133.jpg DarknessFalls229#2286: hmmmm DarknessFalls229#2286: doesnt really tell me anything DarknessFalls229#2286: does rebooting help? DarknessFalls229#2286: can you boot into safe mode? mynameistak3n#6865: I booted to eufi mynameistak3n#6865: On purpose DarknessFalls229#2286: but is the drive able too boot into eufi or is it set to legacy? DarknessFalls229#2286: just use the same settings as you did when you booted with _just_ the 240 mynameistak3n#6865: Boot into safe mode? DarknessFalls229#2286: yes, just hit F8 after the bios screen before windows boots
mynameistak3n#6865: Im in safe mode currently mynameistak3n#6865: I can't find display adapters in the device manager mynameistak3n#6865: i give up mynameistak3n#6865: imma repack it again and send it tmrw bigmoney#0786: Fixed the pc, just unplugged all the hard drives and booted without them mynameistak3n#6865: i wish something like that works for me lol mynameistak3n#6865: its probably a driver issue jojosensei#4198: I found one gtx 970 that is said to be dead because when it's put in a pc, the pc boot up and then turn off 1 second after. jojosensei#4198: Could it be possible that it's a PSU problem and not a GPU one ? DarknessFalls229#2286: really depends on specs of the person trying to use it DarknessFalls229#2286: but yeah, if the PSU isnt powerful enough this could be why jojosensei#4198: I mean, could it be a GPU problem ? jojosensei#4198: Because it cost 40 euros and I could maybe negociate it for 20 jojosensei#4198: And the problem seems strange. Not like the others dead gpu DarknessFalls229#2286: of course it could be a GPU problem
DarknessFalls229#2286: it could be shorting 12 volt straight to the die for some reason klondike#0580: Any place I can get a singular 8gb stick of trident z neo 3600? Alcyone#2233: ebay or local ads maybe zwect#1210: let me try to understand this zwect#1210: my 2070 + 3600 setup consumes less power in idle than a fucking e7500? bigmoney#0786: if the psu was cheap that could be a problem, once me and my friend bought a 20 dollar one for a server and it was dead on arrival JustinXenyx#8854: One of them is a modern high end gaming rig and one of them is an outdated 2 core out of fucking 2008 JustinXenyx#8854: Actually makes quite a lot of sense why your modern rig uses less idle power, especially with all the strides towards better power efficiency with modern tech zwect#1210: eh.. Muse#0557: Bruh Din (Mája)#0264: Hey y'all, I broke my cherry Din (Mája)#0264: My first MSI mobo bricking by bad BIOS update :'D JustinXenyx#8854: Why the fuck y'all breaking keyboards now? JustinXenyx#8854: :Xdxdxd: JustinXenyx#8854: for clarity, it's a mechanical keyboard joke
Din (Mája)#0264: repairing my grandma's PC, didn't know certain BIOS updates crash on Windows 7 lmao Din (Mája)#0264: Absolute unit :D I'll steal that one JustinXenyx#8854: I was gonna ask how old that board is, but yeah it'll probably not have dual bios if it ran Win7 Muse#0557: Updating motherboard bioses is the only part of computing that still makes me uneasy JustinXenyx#8854: Only real way out of that bricked flash is either replacing the chip with a preflashed one or getting a USB bios flasher Din (Mája)#0264: 970A-G46 from 2011, sporting an A3+ with FX3400 or somethin Muse#0557: Thats a 99% no dual boot Din (Mája)#0264: I'm an Asus guy, I'll never trust MSI again unless they're better :'D JustinXenyx#8854: Dual bios was only common on the older FX boards really Racey#8574: Updating BIOS is one of the most nerveracking moments of PCs Racey#8574: Because if it goes wrong your PC is fucked Muse#0557: No way Muse#0557: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/813328378341883904/20210222_083345.jpg Din (Mája)#0264: Thank god I got an AM2 board for her, so it's fixed with an SSD :'D JustinXenyx#8854: just a word of advice, i would probably not try to taint my opinion of a company by what is soon to be a decade old board but MSI is quite shitty as a company anyway soooooooo
Muse#0557: MSI is cringe Muse#0557: This post was made by someone who dares own evga Muse#0557: @DarknessFalls229 Give me P55 EVGA Racey#8574: I've never used MSI before Racey#8574: This post was made by someone who uses ASUS DarknessFalls229#2286: pay me Din (Mája)#0264: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/813328694029451274/20210222_093723.jpg Muse#0557: How much Din (Mája)#0264: a board that looks like from 1995 lol DarknessFalls229#2286: three fiddy Muse#0557: 😔 Muse#0557: I have 0 fiddy Muse#0557: Only £ Din (Mája)#0264: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/813328970841063424/20210222_093848.jpg Din (Mája)#0264: There I located the BIOS chip
Din (Mája)#0264: So if I desoldered it and put it inside an USB flasher, I'll be able to inject a BIN file (or whatever it was) in it and it might be good? DarknessFalls229#2286: no need to desolder it JustinXenyx#8854: ^ DarknessFalls229#2286: what does it say on top? JustinXenyx#8854: winbond something something Din (Mája)#0264: my eyesight is poop, let me investigate JustinXenyx#8854: but pretty sure that's a quad spi flash chip either way JustinXenyx#8854: so it effectively has to be the BIOS chip DarknessFalls229#2286: i just wanna see the part number, check if it is supported by my particular flasher Din (Mája)#0264: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/813329663454871562/20210222_094129.jpg Din (Mája)#0264: Better photo DarknessFalls229#2286: 25Q64FVSIG DarknessFalls229#2286: ill check later Din (Mája)#0264: Googled "MSI BIOS chip" and this bby popped in, it checked out JustinXenyx#8854: I'm pretty sure the pinout of QSPI flash has been standardized for a while now
JustinXenyx#8854: Any cheap shit generic CH341 USB flasher will support it DarknessFalls229#2286: oh i dont doubt that it will fit DarknessFalls229#2286: but that it can read the rom Din (Mája)#0264: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/813330356631240734/Screenshot_20210222-094420_Firefox.jpg Din (Mája)#0264: Like this one? DarknessFalls229#2286: thats the one i have JustinXenyx#8854: Like that yeah, but it should also have a clip thingie Din (Mája)#0264: I keep finding the CH341's without clips Din (Mája)#0264: Can it be sold separately? DarknessFalls229#2286: i just got a cheap one off aliexpress DarknessFalls229#2286: came with everything DarknessFalls229#2286: just took a while to ship Din (Mája)#0264: Can you hook me up? Din (Mája)#0264: I'm sorry for bothering you, the flash of hope in this situation is strong, when I found out about this.. though I'm a noob in regards of flashing anything xD DarknessFalls229#2286: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001636439880.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.5c812e1dAhiQl6&algo_pvid=ad75c767-88e3-471e-a79c-fa329b2d6e6e&algo_expid=ad75c767-88e3-471e-a79c-fa329b2d6e6e-4&btsid=0b0a187916139837142637696eb933&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_
i guess something like this DarknessFalls229#2286: ~5 euro total Din (Mája)#0264: THANK YOU!!!! You're a legend, you saved me a lot of pain and good components :D DarknessFalls229#2286: no prob DarknessFalls229#2286: just a simple search of "bios programmer" gets a lot of hits on ali Din (Mája)#0264: Yeah, but you know - better asking someone with preference and experience, so I won't buy something dumb DarknessFalls229#2286: understandable DarknessFalls229#2286: flashed quite a few bioses indeed DarknessFalls229#2286: ill tell you the software i use later DarknessFalls229#2286: currently in a lecture DarknessFalls229#2286: @Din (Mája) alright, i use a program called "AsProgrammer", seached for the IC and W25Q64FV gets a match, so you should be in luck if you can find the correct bios file to flash with Din (Mája)#0264: I got the flash files, so it may be good :D Thank you for extra effort! This comes in handy. DarknessFalls229#2286: youre welcome mynameistak3n#6865: my PC is bootlooping now 😦 mynameistak3n#6865: i hate my life rn
Din (Mája)#0264: awwh crap Din (Mája)#0264: did you do something specific? Din (Mája)#0264: like.. flashing a bios or installing a Windows update? mynameistak3n#6865: no it just randomsly bootlopped mynameistak3n#6865: at first it was BSODing all over the place mynameistak3n#6865: i totally give up rn mynameistak3n#6865: i might just upgrade the PC all together and use the older parts that i can use mynameistak3n#6865: cant even boot to safe mode Cake.exe#6828: @mynameistak3n Here is my advise. Start small. Remove the all your ram, try putting in just 1 stick of memory, see if it posts. I would repeat this step with each memory stick individually so that I verify they are all working. If its posting on all memory sticks but 1, there is your problem. If the computer is still boot looping while trying to verify memory (boot looping on each individual memory stick), try disconnecting your power supply, removing the cmos battery, then holding the power button for 15 seconds, put everything back together. Your symptoms to me just sound like a catastrophic memory failure. Dogecode#7321: ye sometimes memory sticks just die randomly i had a stick that was working the last time it was used just stop working to where the system wouldnt post
D.D.M#8226: Hey guys so every once in a while my laptop bsods on startup before even getting to the windows logo with the spinning circles. Any ideas? D.D.M#8226: Also the error is dpc watchdog violation D.D.M#8226: All drivers up to date D.D.M#8226: Windows too The United Earth citizen#0382: hey, i guess one of the best places to ask this is here even though it's not an audiophile discord so i'm looking for an old smartphone to use as a digital audio player, as the Nokia N97 idea didn't go too well and my (very obvious) criteria mostly are 1) has a really decent DAC inside 2) has a really good amp 3) is relatively easy and cheap to source 4) has a 3.5mm jack any ideas? The United Earth citizen#0382: for now the most fitting option seems to be HTC One M8 with dead sim slots that i was able to find for 35 bucks maybe somebody suggests something more interesting? mynameistak3n#6865: @Cake.exe i tried both, didn't work at all
mynameistak3n#6865: but itll go to bios and shit [FR-98] F.ROOSTER#2354: How I do the back plate from the graphics card without damaging it [FR-98] F.ROOSTER#2354: It's palit GTX 570 sonic platinum The United Earth citizen#0382: once you unscrew and remove the cooler there should be screws for the back plate (on the side of the pcb where the chip is) [FR-98] F.ROOSTER#2354: Ahh okay ill try that becaue the metal plate is quite tall at least it will remove highest fit into my computer mynameistak3n#6865: probably need to buy new ram [FR-98] F.ROOSTER#2354: It's i have 8gb of ram JustinXenyx#8854: I think that one is going to be really difficult, as most phones have alright DACs but that's it JustinXenyx#8854: Even with good DACs a lot of phones still require amplification for more higher end headphones which is why people either buy mobile amps or go for in ear monitors instead JustinXenyx#8854: As for phone suggestions, LG usually gets high praise for having very good DACs inside of their phones and their used flagships can be super cheap The United Earth citizen#0382: I'm using IEMs, yes. Thing is, even with 32ohm iems most of the phones don't achieve the volume goal of 80db (equal to PC's typical output), of all tested only Galaxy S7 meets the goal [FR-98] F.ROOSTER#2354: does anybody know any good low file but good graphcs card Foxious#1859: Low Prof but good? GTX 1650 springs to mind, you can remove/replace the backplate so it will fit into a low profile slot, well to my knowledge atleast https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/813721909606481941/51ML2B-mqrLL.png [FR-98] F.ROOSTER#2354: does it fit in the think centre machine
NecroFlex#9105: 1650 for the price is crap, if you can find a cheap 1050ti low profile, go for that, it's only like 10% slower but way cheaper usually [FR-98] F.ROOSTER#2354: thanks for that advice mynameistak3n#6865: @DarknessFalls229 wanna hear good news? mynameistak3n#6865: the GPU is broken DarknessFalls229#2286: oh, huh DarknessFalls229#2286: perhaps it just didnt survive shipping mynameistak3n#6865: the ports are dead, yes its probably shipping damage mynameistak3n#6865: they refunded it DarknessFalls229#2286: nice DarknessFalls229#2286: how bout your current pc, got that working again? mynameistak3n#6865: nah DarknessFalls229#2286: F mynameistak3n#6865: its restart looping now mynameistak3n#6865: its probably a RAM issue DarknessFalls229#2286: is memory perhaps faulty
mynameistak3n#6865: im gonna buy some ram with the refund money lol DarknessFalls229#2286: do you know what sticks do or dont work? mynameistak3n#6865: fingers crossed is the ram mynameistak3n#6865: all of the sticks dont work DarknessFalls229#2286: all? mynameistak3n#6865: A. i hope both of the ram is broken, or B. the motherboard is fucked DarknessFalls229#2286: cause you tested the sticks individually? DarknessFalls229#2286: reset cmos during so? mynameistak3n#6865: yes mynameistak3n#6865: me and my dad did everything, cmos reset and try every stick mynameistak3n#6865: cmos reset dont work, and individual stick dont work either DarknessFalls229#2286: doesnt bode well DarknessFalls229#2286: does it beep without ram installed? mynameistak3n#6865: the header for the speaker is busted mynameistak3n#6865: cant get any sounds from it, even with this new case that includes a speaker
mynameistak3n#6865: i heard is you want to test if the speaker is fine take a 9v battery and test it DarknessFalls229#2286: dunno if thats true DarknessFalls229#2286: most voltages on the motherboard are like 5 and 3.3v DarknessFalls229#2286: but erm DarknessFalls229#2286: just in case DarknessFalls229#2286: what are you going to do if the motherboard is busted? mynameistak3n#6865: upgrade to a ryzen DarknessFalls229#2286: oh, nice mynameistak3n#6865: or a i3 10th gen DarknessFalls229#2286: intel 10th gen is pretty good too DarknessFalls229#2286: i vouch for AM4 though mynameistak3n#6865: and make like a small form factor PC that doesnt use like proprietary hardware like small PSU and shit mynameistak3n#6865: so i can use the old parts that are still usable, like HDD and SSD, PSU, GPU, idc if its shitty low power lol, its better than using integrated DarknessFalls229#2286: make one yourself like i did mynameistak3n#6865: but i hear the vega 8 on the ryzen 3 is pretty good
DarknessFalls229#2286: its better than intels integrated solutions for sure mynameistak3n#6865: or maybe get a ryzen 5 with vega 10 lol DarknessFalls229#2286: vega 11* mynameistak3n#6865: i just want to play fiveM smoothly mynameistak3n#6865: my laptop is like super derpy when playing fivem DarknessFalls229#2286: havent heard of that game, but having space for a dGPU is pretty important for upgradability DarknessFalls229#2286: as AMD hasnt really made much improvement on their 'high end' APUs mynameistak3n#6865: fivem is GTA V multi that can be modded Lady Mipha#0611: alternative to normal GTA 5 multiplayer Lady Mipha#0611: https://fivem.net/ DarknessFalls229#2286: ah DarknessFalls229#2286: are those servers where you dont get carpet bombed every 3 minutes? Lady Mipha#0611: yeah DarknessFalls229#2286: neat mynameistak3n#6865: you should try, most of the Roleplay server but you can find some that are not
mynameistak3n#6865: like minigames etc mynameistak3n#6865: or fall guys style servers if you like that kind of stuff DarknessFalls229#2286: apart from the fact that i dont have GTA V, sure mynameistak3n#6865: dude mynameistak3n#6865: why lol, i mean its kinda boring after times mynameistak3n#6865: i kinda hate it too since like the roleplayers are kids DarknessFalls229#2286: never felt the need to buy the game D.D.M#8226: Its sad that many ppl are hosting roleplaying servers D.D.M#8226: Has some potential be a normal server Jenner IIC#5621: Okay guys I need some help fixing issue with my motherboard. It's Aurous Elite B450. Recently after sudden power loss it stopped working with my memory, I had a quad stick setup using HyperX Predator DDR4 3200MHz CL16 4GB I tried resetting memory via CMOS battery removal, using dual stick setup in every possible combination but the memory diode is still lighting up and it's refusing to boot Jenner IIC#5621: When I power up it flashes CPU diode for a split second, then memory, fans and drives spin up and it fails to boot, spin up again and it powers off Jenner IIC#5621: Googling didn't give me much because I found like 3 questions in similar vein and none had any real solution, should I just call it ded mobo and replace? DarknessFalls229#2286: it could be a dead motherboard, have you verified that both CPU and individual RAM sticks work?
Jenner IIC#5621: Can't really verify CPU but motherboard doesn't have typical CPU failure behaviour. Sticks were tested in pairs in every possible combination with no improvement Jenner IIC#5621: The latter would be an issue solely if somehow 3/4 failed all at once DarknessFalls229#2286: have you tried a different PSU? Jenner IIC#5621: Yep, that was already swapped since old PSU was on chopping board anyway DarknessFalls229#2286: ah alright DarknessFalls229#2286: then it sounds purely like a board issue to me Jenner IIC#5621: It might be an issue with this board and this memory combination Jenner IIC#5621: Before the failure I had some RAM related BSODs when running the sticks at 3200MHz DarknessFalls229#2286: havent had any issues on mine running at 3000MHz Jenner IIC#5621: I could maybe bring it to repair solely so they could stick some DDR4 to test what's the problem since I only have the 4 sticks currently in it DarknessFalls229#2286: if you got a good friend with a similar platform you could ask them to test it Jenner IIC#5621: Ain't got one sadly DarknessFalls229#2286: hm, question, what does it do without any ram installed? Jenner IIC#5621: I didn't test that... Let me see
Jenner IIC#5621: Well, it doesn't power off Jenner IIC#5621: Starts up, but doesn't attempt to boot and doesn't power off DarknessFalls229#2286: but now it probably gets a ram error, obviously DarknessFalls229#2286: i guess populate the second ram slot with a stick? Jenner IIC#5621: Yeah, memory diode is lit as previously Jenner IIC#5621: Testing with 2 sticks again DarknessFalls229#2286: _why not a single stick?_ Jenner IIC#5621: Eh sure Jenner IIC#5621: Actually let me just record how it behaves Jenner IIC#5621: ????? Jenner IIC#5621: It randomly started working again Jenner IIC#5621: After 4 cycles the diode went off Jenner IIC#5621: This is with all sticks in DarknessFalls229#2286: hooray 🥳 DarknessFalls229#2286: computers are magic ill tell ya
Jenner IIC#5621: Oh, no image going out Jenner IIC#5621: And now the issue is back... DarknessFalls229#2286: _magic_ DarknessFalls229#2286: does holding the reset button do anything? Jenner IIC#5621: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/813761880144478259/VID_20210223_141800.mp4 Jenner IIC#5621: Hoo... Ray? Jenner IIC#5621: I'll try putting all 4 again Jenner IIC#5621: Yeah it just fixed itself mynameistak3n#6865: dude, your case is a mess mynameistak3n#6865: get some zipties Jenner IIC#5621: Not yet, I'll be swapping GPU later and then I'll fully organise it Jenner IIC#5621: Okay no it doesn't work, extremely unstable Jenner IIC#5621: Mem diode lights up and it powers off at random still, just manages to boot now mynameistak3n#6865: We have something in common mynameistak3n#6865: Ram problems
Jenner IIC#5621: I think it also took my HDD for the kill because it doesn't show up anymore mynameistak3n#6865: Oof mynameistak3n#6865: Sudden power cut can be deadly to your PC mynameistak3n#6865: I broke a processor once because constant power cutouts mynameistak3n#6865: A UPS might be a good investment for you Jenner IIC#5621: I mean, been thinking about it but they are horrendously expensive and up to very recently I was barely affording food D.D.M#8226: Too me it kinda looks like ram failure since mobo failure isnt as common as ram failure D.D.M#8226: I didn't understand did you test the ram in another pc? Jenner IIC#5621: I couldn't Jenner IIC#5621: I don't have any other PC that could take DDR4 so I just tested in pairs on this mobo D.D.M#8226: well idk what you could do D.D.M#8226: maybe ask a friend for a stick D.D.M#8226: or smth D.D.M#8226: so you can see if mobo is ded or not Jenner IIC#5621: I mean, it powers on now, magically it just fixed itself
Jenner IIC#5621: All 4 sticks are in and other than taking few attempts to boot, it works DarknessFalls229#2286: somethings definitely faulty, probably not the ram seems like Jenner IIC#5621: Also, couldn't ask friend for one, I don't know anyone else who has DDR4, most of my friends have PCs still using DDR2 or have a laptop DarknessFalls229#2286: ouch, DDR2 bigmoney#0786: I stuck my foot in my PC once and touched the RAM, and it made a loud beep noise, audio still was playing on the PC but it froze. That happened years ago D.D.M#8226: wat D.D.M#8226: probs you shocked the ram D.D.M#8226: if you kinda hit it hard sandrosandro482#8710: Guys i have this system sandrosandro482#8710: And it doesn't wanna boot sandrosandro482#8710: No current going to mobo I think sandrosandro482#8710: I couldn't figure it out sandrosandro482#8710: Took it to a guy he fixed it and called me incompetent lol sandrosandro482#8710: But now the issues back out of nowhere sandrosandro482#8710: Power button doesn't work
sandrosandro482#8710: No electricity sound when pluggin the psu in sandrosandro482#8710: Nothing sandrosandro482#8710: im so confused The United States Air Force#7904: psu dead? sandrosandro482#8710: nope sandrosandro482#8710: i tried the shorting the two wires on it sandrosandro482#8710: started Tam#0002: black and green i presume? sandrosandro482#8710: yeah DarknessFalls229#2286: just because it starts may not mean that it supplies the correct voltage rails Tam#0002: hmmmm sandrosandro482#8710: i mean it was working before sandrosandro482#8710: with these exact specs sandrosandro482#8710: thats why im confused sandrosandro482#8710: everything is plugged in
sandrosandro482#8710: i double checked Tam#0002: sure you didn't mix up any connectors Tam#0002: ? sandrosandro482#8710: no im 100% i didnt sandrosandro482#8710: because it worked fine 3 weeks ago sandrosandro482#8710: i just wanted to start it sandrosandro482#8710: it just didnt Tam#0002: wouldn't hurt to check tho sandrosandro482#8710: which ones do i check for Tam#0002: all of em' DarknessFalls229#2286: id say check ram DarknessFalls229#2286: wiggle them a bit sandrosandro482#8710: oh true Tam#0002: or the power button itself sandrosandro482#8710: it would make sense
D.D.M#8226: Or use a screwdriver sandrosandro482#8710: plugged in well D.D.M#8226: To touch power pins Tam#0002: things do loosen over time sandrosandro482#8710: didnt work either tried that DarknessFalls229#2286: how the hell do things loosen over time DarknessFalls229#2286: is my CPU going to fall out of its socket????? Tam#0002: never know XD DarknessFalls229#2286: certain parts of a computer might become dislocated during movement sandrosandro482#8710: t rue Tam#0002: true sandrosandro482#8710: i did pick it up just now Tam#0002: that'll do it Tam#0002: just reconnect everything attaching to the mobo DarknessFalls229#2286: pretty sure most things dont come loose
DarknessFalls229#2286: but ive had issues with spotty ram before Tam#0002: again... never know DarknessFalls229#2286: well i cant be arsed just to reconnect every single connector on a motherboard Tam#0002: or, something could be causing a short DarknessFalls229#2286: especially front panel connectors sandrosandro482#8710: ill check everything DarknessFalls229#2286: short would shut the PSU down Tam#0002: exactly DarknessFalls229#2286: or leave a visible scorch mark Tam#0002: also true Tam#0002: but I've seen it before DarknessFalls229#2286: but just because you have seen it doesnt mean its applicable in his case Tam#0002: granted it was an older system that was caked in lovely dust Tam#0002: can't ever completely rule out stuff that can happen tho DarknessFalls229#2286: but lets leave unreasonable solutions out of the question here
Tam#0002: fair enough Tam#0002: ive also had loose sata data cables cause systems to not boot Tam#0002: as not all of them have a retention clip DarknessFalls229#2286: yes, but it should still post Tam#0002: if its completely detached, yes. But I've encountered situations where it being still partially attached has caused systems to not post DarknessFalls229#2286: that would be strange DarknessFalls229#2286: ive had multiple occasions of faulty hard drives or cables, all systems posted, but didnt boot Tam#0002: In this case, it was an older Lenovo OEM system, and this one in particular was really picky about what it would boot with Tam#0002: probably the most locked down system I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with exquisitedark#1117: hi exquisitedark#1117: how do i fix sticky keys exquisitedark#1117: my friend leaked some drink on it DarknessFalls229#2286: oh, that kinda sticky keys exquisitedark#1117: now lctrl doesnt press normally DarknessFalls229#2286: just take the keyboard apart and clean whats unclean
exquisitedark#1117: and after a while enter and rshift doesntwork exquisitedark#1117: i mean its sticky exquisitedark#1117: aro rctrl exquisitedark#1117: also DarknessFalls229#2286: again, clean it exquisitedark#1117: i alread took it apart exquisitedark#1117: its sticky again after aweek DarknessFalls229#2286: did you properly clean it? exquisitedark#1117: do i use water exquisitedark#1117: yeah exquisitedark#1117: i didnt soak it tho DarknessFalls229#2286: you can just soak it with water, as long as its well dried when you plug it in again exquisitedark#1117: do i have to take the keycaps off DarknessFalls229#2286: with emphasis on well dried DarknessFalls229#2286: preferably yes
exquisitedark#1117: damn exquisitedark#1117: does just putting it in water and pressing the keys over and over not enough exquisitedark#1117: i have a mechanical keyboard DarknessFalls229#2286: you could try that yes, rinse it well enough, just be sure that the water doesnt stay in long enough to create corrosion DarknessFalls229#2286: which is why taking things apart may be so important exquisitedark#1117: i can place it in oven DarknessFalls229#2286: thats gonna be a no from me exquisitedark#1117: 50 degrees shouldnt be too hot DarknessFalls229#2286: fahrenheit or celcius? Tam#0002: dishwasher exquisitedark#1117: celsius DarknessFalls229#2286: sure, but again, dry properly D.D.M#8226: Ye you can put in the oven D.D.M#8226: Or just D.D.M#8226: Use a hair dryer
DarknessFalls229#2286: id vouch for hair dryer JustinXenyx#8854: don't put electronics into your house oven DarknessFalls229#2286: _you forgot cursive_ exquisitedark#1117: yea it does sound kinda sus JustinXenyx#8854: Soak it in distilled water and dish soap exquisitedark#1117: i dont have distilled water exquisitedark#1117: how do i make it DarknessFalls229#2286: i dont think you can make a potent distillery exquisitedark#1117: wait a minute D.D.M#8226: Just exquisitedark#1117: i might have some after all D.D.M#8226: Do you have any sort of alcohol D.D.M#8226: Like cleaning alcohol exquisitedark#1117: my father is making alcohol himself in the basement exquisitedark#1117: ill have to ask
JustinXenyx#8854: Don't mess with that stuff on electronics JustinXenyx#8854: Use regular water if you cannot get distilled water DarknessFalls229#2286: lemme emphasize ___cleaning___ alcohol D.D.M#8226: 99.9% isopropyl alcohol D.D.M#8226: Preferably exquisitedark#1117: ill get the water tommorow exquisitedark#1117: thanks you all DarknessFalls229#2286: just dont do anything stupid, alright? exquisitedark#1117: ill jsut use the water from my dads alcohol thing with dish soap D.D.M#8226: I would personally use that alcohol your dads making to clean the key caps themselves D.D.M#8226: If its not coloured D.D.M#8226: Or anything like that mynameistak3n#6865: what type of keycaps? mynameistak3n#6865: dyesub or doubleshot
mynameistak3n#6865: you can wash doubleshot with anything you want mynameistak3n#6865: i wash mine with soapy wooder Foxious#1859: https://youtu.be/aNwO4hjIWDY I like to clean my keyboard keys the david way Foxious#1859: Let them soak in soapy water Foxious#1859: and then scrub then with windex, any dirt left over will be cleaned with IPA, well thats my modification of his strategy Cake.exe#6828: you could also just remove the keycaps and shove the keyboard in the dishwasher Cake.exe#6828: thats not even a joke Rea77y#6618: Ltt did a follow up story where they showed that 2 of the keyboard started having ghost presses Rea77y#6618: Don't do it Foxious#1859: Yeah dont be a moron Foxious#1859: the problem isint the dishwasher itself Foxious#1859: but the fact that it will be damp and will corrode Foxious#1859: dishwasher works if you just put a motherboard or something like that and clean it immediatly Foxious#1859: well, i dont know how well it works with modern motherboards and their modern sockets Dogecode#7321: i guess if your keyboard is the type where you could take it completely apart you could do that
but at that point just wash the plastics Sony PS-FL77#3627: When I clean keyboards I usually just take off the keys and let them soak in lukewarm /warm water With some dishwashing soap Sony PS-FL77#3627: Most recently I also took apart the case of my keyboard and put that in the dishwasher Sony PS-FL77#3627: Personally I really do recommend just cleaning all keys by hand after letting them soak for a day Dogecode#7321: i usually just do it like 8-bit, take off all of the keys and clean them one by one Sony PS-FL77#3627: Just a kil toothbrush scrub or a whipe can go a long way Dogecode#7321: yeah then I usually use a toothbrush to clean up the keyboard itself Sony PS-FL77#3627: Beyond that Don't ever get into collecting keyboards It's a horrid hobby and it'll eat you alive Dogecode#7321: if its too bad take it outside and dump it before you start Dogecode#7321: no joke some keyboards have that much crud in em Sony PS-FL77#3627: Honestly if it's a basic Dell rubber dome board just bin it lmao Dogecode#7321: i need to get a better board

NecroFlex#9105: My guess would be a 500W PSU, a 560Ti, 8GB of ram, a PCI wifi card, a weird ass looking HP case, either an HP mobo or gigabyte/DFI judging from the ram slot colors, so AM3 maybe?, probably a Phenom II X4 830 or something 😛 NecroFlex#9105: let's later on see how close i was Foxious#1859: I want to throw in my guess: Obv ThermalTake Smart 500w, High end GTX 560Ti, AM2 Phenom, Stock Mobo and HP case from around 2007 edit: oh and a fan controller card or a some networking card aand 4gb ram TK#6306: Guess the SoC TK#6306: I never thought people can guess this much using just a photograph NecroFlex#9105: Ne3rd™ TK#6306: What makes you think that it has 4 gigs of ram? I'm CURIOUS NecroFlex#9105: It could be an AM2 board with ddr2 and he onlyhad 4x1gb sticks for it
NecroFlex#9105: DDR3 finding 1gb sticks is actually hard these days NecroFlex#9105: 2gb is usually the smallest you'll find TK#6306: That is correct NecroFlex#9105: there were 512mb ddr3 sticks WAAY early that quickly died off TK#6306: To be honest I've never seen a 1 GB ddr3 stick NecroFlex#9105: i had/have a few NecroFlex#9105: great for quick testing NecroFlex#9105: because they are old enough to be "QVLed" in older systems aswell NecroFlex#9105: but not too old that they only run at 1.65V Foxious#1859: Because quite honestly, i think they could be DDR2 Foxious#1859: pairing 8 gigs with a old phenom is just plain wasteful Foxious#1859: For example one of my AM2 phenom machines had 4x 1gb ram setup mynameistak3n#6865: Old AMD moment :OmegaxD: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/814476030835687504/IMG_20210217_212239.jpg mynameistak3n#6865: Ketchup mustard cables exquisitedark#1117: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/814480214028976148/unknown.png

It has a phenom II x3 720, a gtx 560ti, 8 gb of ddr2, 500 watt PSU, 120 gb SSD, and a 500 gb hard drive Deleted User#0000: And the case is an old HP pavilion case that I painted cause I got bored lol Foxious#1859: Nice NecroFlex#9105: Ye fergot about me :c Which mobo? Came with the hp or some other? Deleted User#0000: Oh right sorry 😅 its actualy an am2 gateway motherboard. Despite the minimal am3 support, it does support a fair amount of am3 quad cores and tri cores D.D.M#8226: Yes D.D.M#8226: Tri cores Deleted User#0000: Yea that time when amd screwed up a quad core design so they just disabled the extra core and marketed it as a 3 core processor XD mynameistak3n#6865: you can enable the 4th core right iirc
mynameistak3n#6865: and after sometimes amd just locked the config thingy Deleted User#0000: I've heard about it being possible, but it's not always the most stable mynameistak3n#6865: yes mynameistak3n#6865: but its posible tho jojosensei#4198: I have the choice between a cx 500 green and a Hexa + fsp 500w PSU. Is one better than the other ? NecroFlex#9105: It has a 780G northbridge, but considering it's OEM, it probably has the cheap SB700 southbridge and those didn't support core unlocking. SB710 and SB750 had core unlocking aka Advanced Clock Calibration NecroFlex#9105: was quite easy to find once you said it's a gateway board, more specifically, it was in an OEM Gateway DX4300 NecroFlex#9105: and in many cases those locked cores were fine, rarely defective, usually either didn't meet the voltage standard that AMD set for them or maybe didn't clock as high, but rarely fully dead NecroFlex#9105: or later on, they had too many multicores that they trimmed down into lower ones, because they specifically went to make higher core CPUs and the ones that didn't meet the standard, for any reason, got pushed down a tier NecroFlex#9105: later on when yields were better, they had to specifically trim down good CPUs, same thing Intel did and still does NecroFlex#9105: and AMD still does that too NecroFlex#9105: difference is, yields these days are quite high and rarely they get defective ones Deleted User#0000: i think your right about the motherboard's chipset, never really looked into that tbh. also I highly doubt my friend is gonna be messing around with voltages and core clock speed lol Abe.#3344: Generally, how much slower should WiFi be compared to Ethernet? Abe.#3344: Just got our router changed and it feels slower on my phone
Abe.#3344: But I don't have any previous data from before the switch on my phone Abe.#3344: My PC gets 350mbs through Ethernet but my phone gets 19mbs download Abe.#3344: It's slower than my upload somehow JustinXenyx#8854: Depends on if you're on 2.4GHz WiFi, 5GHz WiFi and how far you are from the router D.D.M#8226: Well i sort of have the same issue D.D.M#8226: 2.4ghz has a max speed of 75mbps D.D.M#8226: So its entirely dependent on your router D.D.M#8226: And how good are its wi fi capabilities Bae#4506: amd best fuck intel Bae#4506: ignore my intel liquid cooler NecroFlex#9105: Depends on your internet speed you pay for, how close you are to the router, how good the router is, how good your wifi card is and how much interference there is NecroFlex#9105: Fx 100mbps connection would be around 80-90 on wifi with a good router, good wifi card and little interference Abe.#3344: I pay for 350, which I get, but my phone gets like 19 Abe.#3344: Which doesn't seem right imo NecroFlex#9105: Not even close
Abe.#3344: That's what I thought NecroFlex#9105: Which phone? Which router? Is it the ISPs or your own? Abe.#3344: Xiaomi Mi 9T, Virgin Media Superhub 3 NecroFlex#9105: 2.4ghz can potentially go to like 400mbps, but on newer and higher end tech, 5ghz can go way higher, but loses speed rapidly with distance NecroFlex#9105: Are you connected to 2.4 or 5ghz? mynameistak3n#6865: restart loop is fixed with windows reinstall, thank god lol, i dont need to buy some ram mynameistak3n#6865: now i need to fix bsod code 101 mynameistak3n#6865: by i mean 101 its 0x00000101 The United Earth citizen#0382: Guys, i need your experience on this With 7th gen pepegaphone how much does lightning port gets straines and damaged over the span of 4-5 years?

JustinXenyx#8854: Do you know what codec Parsec is using? JustinXenyx#8854: Because the older cards might simply just kick into hybrid encoding mode and have the GPU do the actual encoding if the codec is too new Saix856#2556: what would be the best bang for your buck used GPU for $200 or less? talking US region stuff TheFifthAce#4128: 1650 super TheFifthAce#4128: if youre lucky Saix856#2556: doesnt a 580 run faster at about the same price on the used market?

They started selling here for 120 usd Rea77y#6618: Nvm all out of stoci D.D.M#8226: for a 1050 ti, in most cases you are better off getting a brand new one D.D.M#8226: 1050 tis here are like sub 125$

JustinXenyx#8854: Yup JustinXenyx#8854: RX460/560D is 896 and RX560 is 1024 shaders, but people flashed 460s into 560s way before the 560 was official lmao NecroFlex#9105: ouch NecroFlex#9105: it's not that hard to flash either JustinXenyx#8854: Yeah it's pretty easy to flash them NecroFlex#9105: flashing nvidia, now that's a different story NecroFlex#9105: if you can even flash the newer ones JustinXenyx#8854: NVIDIA is quite pissy about locking shit down JustinXenyx#8854: Gotta keep those quadro profits somehow
Alcyone#2233: only signed firmware for pascal+ Alcyone#2233: maxwell and older can be modified easily NecroFlex#9105: that and some quadros are something of their own, AMD made Firepro's with basically the same shit a normal card has, but different name. Nvidia made sure you couldn't even try to flash normal bioses to quadros cause of the CUDA count difference NecroFlex#9105: i don't think nvflash can easily do newer cards, atleast as far as i remember when i had my 980ti Alcyone#2233: it can with the correct version, you can still flash new cards with other bios, you just cannot modify them NecroFlex#9105: ohh, i could have mixed that up Alcyone#2233: nv I dont think there has been shader unlocks since gtx 465-470, so all you can really change is the power limit hughes fan number 1#6171: Don’t really know where to ask this but I’m gonna be buying stuff for my pc does anyone have a good suggestion my budget is £250 and I need 2 monitors hughes fan number 1#6171: Brand new too btw Muse#0557: Polaris was a wobbly step in the right direction imo Muse#0557: Tbh what i think amd needs to do is just reestablish a proper naming scheme consumers have no fucking clue what is what and how they compare NecroFlex#9105: the issue...or well how you'd call it, is that when Lisa Su took over, she directed most of the resources to the CPU department to get Ryzen out, this obviously slowed down the GPU side of things, that's why we're only now seeing bigger "leaps" in the GPU world for AMD Jazzzny#6861: I have been trying to install the leshcablabs driver for weeks with no avail can anyone tell me how to solve error 43? I have tried the patcher, ddu in safe mode, basically everything I can think of

This is the only way mi3night#2562: But when I shipped out a full tower case. It was around $60 or so to east coast
FuckinReece#0021: US mi3night#2562: But if you have all the components inside, it can be well over $70 mi3night#2562: Use the shipping calculator @FuckinReece jojosensei#4198: As anyone seen this logo ?

DarknessFalls229#2286: id say perhaps a GTX 750 The Tired Technician#8073: im thinking a gtx 650 or r7 260 DarknessFalls229#2286: sounds fine yeah The Tired Technician#8073: preferably single slot The Tired Technician#8073: but im not married to that FuckinReece#0021: i know for a core 2 quad a good cheap gtx 570 works pretty good, but you will bottleneck from your cpu The Tired Technician#8073: well my chipset cant support core 2 quad The Tired Technician#8073: just pentium 4, pentium D, core 2 duo, celeron dual core, and celeron D The Tired Technician#8073: and the most powerful chip thats supported on that chipset and board is the core 2 duo e8400 The Tired Technician#8073: right now a pentium D 925 is inside it
The Tired Technician#8073: from another system i had DarknessFalls229#2286: strange that it supports 8000 series, but not C2Q The Tired Technician#8073: https://www.cnet.com/products/msi-945gcm7-f-motherboard-atx-lga775-socket-i945gc/ The Tired Technician#8073: thats the board i have The Tired Technician#8073: and according to the specs The Tired Technician#8073: no c2q The Tired Technician#8073: forgot to mention above it also supports pentium dual cores DarknessFalls229#2286: it says the fastest i can support is the E8600 DarknessFalls229#2286: still strange about no C2Q The Tired Technician#8073: thats not what i read The Tired Technician#8073: but yes, no C2Q The Tired Technician#8073: but i have another system with a C2Q Q9300 in it DarknessFalls229#2286: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/816419381314584616/unknown.png The Tired Technician#8073: which is actually my file server computer The Tired Technician#8073: from the chipset which i googled, didnt say anything about 8600
The Tired Technician#8073: just 8400 DarknessFalls229#2286: i just simply googled the board The Tired Technician#8073: hmm The Tired Technician#8073: well in any case The Tired Technician#8073: im more worried right now about getting a floppy drive for it The Tired Technician#8073: i already have a CD/DVD drive DarknessFalls229#2286: 5.25 inch floppy drives are somewhat hard to find and expensive The Tired Technician#8073: nah The Tired Technician#8073: 3.5 The Tired Technician#8073: double density 3.5" DarknessFalls229#2286: 3.5 are pretty common The Tired Technician#8073: theres a 3.5 bay just sitting there unfilled The Tired Technician#8073: crying out to me The Tired Technician#8073: put a floppy in me The Tired Technician#8073: Look at it https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/816420498941673572/20210302_142330.jpg

So if anybody finds out what that computer actually is, please ping me FuckinReece#0021: currently im trying to build a pc for a friend and im trying to stay under 30 dollars this may sound hard but i have a whole e-waste container and as much time as i want to do it FuckinReece#0021: any suggestions for gpus FuckinReece#0021: and or anything else period Foxious#1859: 30 dollars?
Foxious#1859: hmm i like this challenge Foxious#1859: i think you can find a 775 motherboard quite easily in the Ewaste bin, so that can be the base. CPU: A C2Q=5-10 dollars Ram: 8gb of DDR2=free-10 dollars GPU GTX 550TI=5 dollars HDD=free-5 dollars case=free PSU=free A hard drive along with the case, mobo and psu can propably be found for free Foxious#1859: And i believe you could source 8gb of ram from a few different e waste pc:s Foxious#1859: @FuckinReece what ya think, im not that knowledgeable on US prices, not to even speak about the prices in your state FuckinReece#0021: i mean you accurately just said what im likely to find FuckinReece#0021: price wise ddr2 is getting more expensive Foxious#1859: but can be found in many scrap pc's as they are being thrown out FuckinReece#0021: yeah i think thats my plan for ram

FuckinReece#0021: i forgot triple channel was a thing FuckinReece#0021: x58 what weird NecroFlex#9105: or well actually, it kinda can, but not that great, it's the higher voltage DDR3 that was the issue NecroFlex#9105: i think there were 1.75V DDR3 at the start TheBirdSolution#3693: i am locked in an eternal war with a half-knackered but hopefully not all-knackered GTX 1060 and it is driving me up the wall send help TheBirdSolution#3693: got the thing for an optiplex build last summer that i was doing for a friend on the cheap, had it all working nice and fine, courier it over to him bc pandemic means hand delivery is a no go TheBirdSolution#3693: apparently the thing dislodged in transit, and it's been buggered ever since. i'd give up on it, but ahh GPU bubble i don't wanna call it a day on this thing just yet lol TheBirdSolution#3693: managed to get as far as it appearing in the device manager when i go through the board's VGA but I get code 43'd when I install drivers (which is one of those wonderfully nebulous NVIDIA errors with no actual solution) JustinXenyx#8854: Safe to say it's probably dead on arrival JustinXenyx#8854: I'd try to see if the card initializes on Linux FuckinReece#0021: what do you guys think if i offer like 45 bucks for this https://www.ebay.com/itm/Computer-Parts/313383983484?hash=item48f724197c:g:4esAAOSwitRgAuar Jazzzny#6861: damn you wouldnt get that for 45 Jazzzny#6861: maybe 120 at least FuckinReece#0021: this is the third time it was listed FuckinReece#0021: if i get him on a low ball ill take it

Dogecode#7321: ye it's just simple instructions and instrument readings, plus they probably programmed things specifically for the cpu with machine language to make it even more optimized nothing too intensive primo007#7071: yeah, verge is more just a thing for people who pretend to know stuff about computers, and then its just like "WoAh InTeL CoRe i9!!!!11!!1" NecroFlex#9105: I know, it's just interesting to see with all the technology we have, it's still safer to use old school tech for things like this. NecroFlex#9105: Tho it is a bit surprising that there isn't like a faster CPU specifically made for these kind of things.

NecroFlex#9105: no worries FuckinReece#0021: i found this motherboard for free in my collection of mobos and im wondering if what these two capacitors do if anybody knows, cause they are missing off mine https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/816812579203842088/unknown.png Foxious#1859: Considreing how close they are to the CPU power, im guessing that they are related to regulating that NecroFlex#9105: yeap, those are for CPU power NecroFlex#9105: technically there's a possibility that you could run it w/o these capacitors since mostly what they do is help regulate the power draw and any fluctuations NecroFlex#9105: tho i can't guarantee it wouldn't just fry your CPU 😛 mynameistak3n#6865: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/816840012972687380/image0-1.jpg Deleted User#0000: I think somone was just having fun with the design of it lol FuckinReece#0021: The mobo with capacitors missing began to smoke FuckinReece#0021: I have no idea why It did that it just did then stopped Un karr#9168: anyone know the best free stress testing software? Un karr#9168: I want to see if my pc will blow up Deleted User#0000: You could try Aida 64, although its only a 30 day free trial The United Earth citizen#0382: Welp Got the iphone 7 yesterday. The one that i got for 60 bucks claimed as "screen cracked, otherwise good condition". The casing is absolutely dead. Had to force the seller to give me 20 back.
So, basically, what i have now is a 128gig 7th gen motherboard with OG white touchid button, speakers, allegedly 85-90% condition battery, camera, front camera flex, antenna and vibro for 40 bucks What i need Red housing with button flex and charging flex assembly, black screen, black replacement button (working), potentially new front camera flex and battery, 50 to 80 bucks total This whole thing looks more and more like a hobby project and not a smart purchase of any kind lmao AlphaRiz#9497: Is it heat gun method is worth it for "No Display" Gpu? I have a gpu that got no display, i already cleaning with wd-40 Contact cleaner but still it wont boot up, is there any way to fix it? Lady Mipha#0611: not really as doing so is only temporary before it goes out again AlphaRiz#9497: So..... throw the gpu to the Trash Can is the only option? AlphaRiz#9497: I see NecroFlex#9105: @AlphaRiz depends on the GPU NecroFlex#9105: it also depends if the actual chip is heating up or not D.D.M#8226: @AlphaRiz have you tried plugging the card in but instead using a separate display adapter? AlphaRiz#9497: yes and the result is same nothing happened D.D.M#8226: So like device manager doesn't detect it? AlphaRiz#9497: nope D.D.M#8226: Or windows doesn't boot
D.D.M#8226: Or whatever you are using AlphaRiz#9497: even it wont boot into the windows D.D.M#8226: How about without the graphics card? D.D.M#8226: Because sometimes with cards that dont output a picture, windows for example will mark it with an exclamation mark D.D.M#8226: It you have another way of getting a display AlphaRiz#9497: in february 26th its working normal like this, but in 28th its show artifact then now it wont boot https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/446688327244972034/815611288185077770/unknown.png D.D.M#8226: So its a gt 210? D.D.M#8226: Or is that a working gt 210? AlphaRiz#9497: it was but not now NecroFlex#9105: oh, thought it was some higher end GPU, i mean you could heat it up, what i do is preheat the chip with a normal fan, then blast it with the heat gun at full force for about a minute, maybe a minute and a half depending on the size and thickness of the GPU, then i let it cool down and atm i've had a 100% success rate on GPUs that have an actual problem in the chip itself D.D.M#8226: I doupt its not the chip D.D.M#8226: Maybe try flash the cards bios Dogecode#7321: any idea why memtest86 just hangs midway through Dogecode#7321: happens with both and with either stick installed, doesn’t matter
Alcyone#2233: are you sure its locked up? one is a data retention test and emulates a sleep cycle, its like 3 mins on 3 mins off iirc Alcyone#2233: test 9 I think Dogecode#7321: ik the time elapsed freezes Dogecode#7321: and it never makes it to test 9 Alcyone#2233: hmm Alcyone#2233: tried any in os memory tests? Alcyone#2233: tm5 works well Dogecode#7321: on linux I'm trying to get to the bottom of weird stability problems, not sure if its a hardware problem of just a linux moment Dogecode#7321: i do know that I was having bsods in windows 10 before I reinstalled Dogecode#7321: but what happens here is every so often the desktop will just die and I'll have to restart, or weird glitches will start happening where I cant open some applications Alcyone#2233: could very well be a memory or memory controller issue Alcyone#2233: what memory, board and settings are you using, and is it on the 2600 from your sig Dogecode#7321: last time it happened I found out the system's not completely hosed when that happens, I can still access the command line or get back to the login screen with keyboard commands Dogecode#7321: but if I try to log back in after the freeze I just get a blank screen with a cursor
Dogecode#7321: it is the 2600 asrock b450m hdv r4 on other advice I tried updating the bios and setting up xmp, there was indeed a discrepancy there because for some reason the memory was running at 2133 by default (its specced at 3200) will see what happens memtest86 still does the same thing though Alcyone#2233: all memory runs at its jedec setting until xmp is enabled Alcyone#2233: so memtest freezes at 2133 or 3200? Dogecode#7321: both Alcyone#2233: are the sticks in the correct slots for 2 dimm operation? Dogecode#7321: You mean dual vs single channel? Yes, there are only 2 slots on this board Dogecode#7321: So it’s not possible for them to be in the wrong place Alcyone#2233: oh so that solves that Alcyone#2233: could also be a os drive issue have you checked event viewer>windows>system logs? Alcyone#2233: look for red triangles and ignore this error, most windows after 7 have it https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/817122366425530439/unknown.png
Dogecode#7321: again I switched to linux Alcyone#2233: well find the neckbeard version of event viewer, it has to have some sort of system log right? Dogecode#7321: heres one screenshot I got when it first happened on windows https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/817123355173191690/error.png Alcyone#2233: seems like a mem issue. could try and borrow a dimm from somebody or get some bs 4gb stick cheap to troubleshoot Dogecode#7321: it would be very unusual for both to die at once Alcyone#2233: has to be the dimms the board or the memory controller on the cpu Alcyone#2233: only thing there is linking the maths and the ram chips Alcyone#2233: only other cause I could think of is the os drive DarknessFalls229#2286: what if just one is faulty? Dogecode#7321: the issue is memtest86 hangs this is regardless of whether one, the other, or both are inserted DarknessFalls229#2286: ah Deleted User#0000: Found this cute little ps/2 keyboard :3 The second picture is it next to a model M for size comparison https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/817158886422872114/Screenshot_20210304-161555_Gallery.jpg

NecroFlex#9105: Normal DDR3, usually it will have either ECC in the name or RDIMM/UDIMM/FBDIMM, which means it's registered and will ONLY work on either server motherboards or some workstation/high end boards that could potentially support it, but usually if it's UDIMM ECC, that means it's normal ram with an added extra chip that stores every...8th bit i think, so it can be used as a normal ram with that chip disabled unless the motherboard supports it FuckinReece#0021: thanks The Tired Technician#8073: anybody know if Turion 64 X2 can run windows 10? The Tired Technician#8073: or does it not have the proper instruction sets FuckinReece#0021: I’ve seen them run windows 7 but windows 10 might be too much so it’s probably not worth it to try The Tired Technician#8073: its probably too much to be reasonable. The Tired Technician#8073: But at the same time, windows 7 lost support awhile ago The Tired Technician#8073: the motherboard i have was originally supposed to run WinXP I think The Tired Technician#8073: From what im seeing online, it looks like it can run windows 10
The Tired Technician#8073: but it isnt a good experience Dogecode#7321: yeah it should be able to its from around the core 2 era I believe win10 can run on anything >= the pentium 4 The Tired Technician#8073: it cant run on socket 478 P4 The Tired Technician#8073: doesnt have the required instructions or something like that Dogecode#7321: i remember reading it needs the nx bit which really old cpus dont have Dogecode#7321: maybe not the earlier p4s but I did read that it works on it The Tired Technician#8073: socket 775 and up can run win10 for intel The Tired Technician#8073: AMD has so many more sockets and types of CPUs its hard to keep track Dogecode#7321: yes there are socket 775 p4s so maybe it was meaning those The Tired Technician#8073: yeah Dogecode#7321: but in any case the turion should work The Tired Technician#8073: 775 P4 CPUs can run Win10 The Tired Technician#8073: 478 cannot run win10
The Tired Technician#8073: but yes, from what im reading, Turion 64 X2 can run Win10 The Tired Technician#8073: however im also seeing from a motherboard max of 2gb of DDR2 ram The Tired Technician#8073: and only 256mb of Vram on the GPU The Tired Technician#8073: it wont be a good experience Dogecode#7321: ye windows 10 struggles on less than 4gb ram The Tired Technician#8073: the technical minimum is 1gb The Tired Technician#8073: but thats... just not a good experience Dogecode#7321: ye I think I had that on an old atom and even though that cpu is crap the 1gb ram bottlenecked it in w10 The Tired Technician#8073: if budget had a PO box, i would send him 1 of the 2 motherboards i have The Tired Technician#8073: just so he can experience the pain that is the single core mobile Sempron The Tired Technician#8073: i have a 3600+ & an SL-42 The Tired Technician#8073: both are single core mobile semprons The Tired Technician#8073: two different boards The Tired Technician#8073: same class of honestly really sucky processors
Cake.exe#6828: Anyone know any programs that can throttle the hell out of programs like facetime? Dogecode#7321: ye for those older systems I'd really suggest something like lubuntu Dogecode#7321: it actually runs reasonably well on those systems and takes up less disk space The Tired Technician#8073: Well i dont really know what im going to do with them. Theyre kinda crappy to turn into all in ones The Tired Technician#8073: and they are honestly just laptop motherboards i have Dogecode#7321: you could try putting a heavy download like a large game on in the background to chew up network bandwidth Dogecode#7321: but why do you want to do this Cake.exe#6828: long story short, my upload bandwidth is 0.5, sister likes to use facetime pretty much 24/7 and itll make the internet unusable until she gets off Cake.exe#6828: i was hoping to throttle it to the point where she is forced to use vc The Tired Technician#8073: you could always just do what dogecode said, download, delete, and redownload large files or games until she gets off The Tired Technician#8073: thatll eat up bandwidth Cake.exe#6828: i have tried that but she is relentless Cake.exe#6828: what i do now is if i feel a hit in internet speed aka large ping times suddenly, i just flip a switch that kicks her off the internet on and off Cake.exe#6828: then it forces her to have her call drop The Tired Technician#8073: you could always talk with her about it
The Tired Technician#8073: be the grown up Dogecode#7321: ^^ Cake.exe#6828: you underestimate the ignorance, i nearly failed a final for college bc she was face timing while i was trying to take an exam that required a webcam, i just want to flip a switch and be done with it The Tired Technician#8073: well if you live with your parents, you could always try to get them involved Cake.exe#6828: we do not, we share an apartment The Tired Technician#8073: you could tell her to use her phone's data Cake.exe#6828: no cell service The Tired Technician#8073: then it sounds like you need to be the bigger man and say something along the lines of Cake.exe#6828: is there a program to help me here or not The Tired Technician#8073: "If youre constantly going to be using the internet, on my time. Then you need to pay more for better internet" Cake.exe#6828: we are on the fastest internet plan The Tired Technician#8073: no, there is no program like that, that is within the realm of a common computer monkey The Tired Technician#8073: if you want to get into the weeds The Tired Technician#8073: then yes The Tired Technician#8073: most definitely
