FuckinReece#0021: if it wants to work using all the vram Dogecode#7321: it works fine actually Dogecode#7321: just glitches out periodically Dogecode#7321: usually when its loading things in FuckinReece#0021: try flashing the bios FuckinReece#0021: its worth a shot FuckinReece#0021: could be corrupted Dogecode#7321: shouldve gotten a recording of it FuckinReece#0021: at the same rate im happy the 5770 i found in the trash was just clogged and not artifacting Dogecode#7321: once I got into games and such the problem went away Dogecode#7321: it just happens on the loading screen and every now and again on the desktop FuckinReece#0021: flash the bios FuckinReece#0021: try it Dogecode#7321: ye FuckinReece#0021: or try doing that amd driver debugger thing
FuckinReece#0021: i recall a similar situation Dogecode#7321: im hoping its salvageable FuckinReece#0021: probably is Dogecode#7321: ye FuckinReece#0021: seems very fixable FuckinReece#0021: i mean thats the same way i felt about the 7870 Dogecode#7321: oddly it didnt even want to turn on in the first system I tried it in Dogecode#7321: that system had a 450w psu though so maybe it wasnt getting enough juice FuckinReece#0021: literally the exact same thing with the 7870 FuckinReece#0021: and now it works amazingly Dogecode#7321: when I stuck it in my main rig with a 750w it powered right up Dogecode#7321: makes sense as its a higher end card that it probably likes more watts than that FuckinReece#0021: yeah i think you should blow dryer your card FuckinReece#0021: it could just need a little reflow Dogecode#7321: ye thats what Im thinking
FuckinReece#0021: if it helps i did a little over 15 minutes on my card FuckinReece#0021: and it worked Dogecode#7321: it isnt permanent though right Dogecode#7321: it just kicks the can FuckinReece#0021: its better than living with the artifacting Dogecode#7321: but the problem will come back FuckinReece#0021: its up to you Dogecode#7321: was planning on trying it yeah FuckinReece#0021: if you need help on getting it setup you can ask me Dogecode#7321: ye FuckinReece#0021: i didnt cover any part of the card in tin foil Dogecode#7321: did you use an actual heat gun Dogecode#7321: or just a hair dryer FuckinReece#0021: hair dryer Dogecode#7321: seems like that wouldnt be hot enough
FuckinReece#0021: i thought it would be more forgiving FuckinReece#0021: it is FuckinReece#0021: it will get hot FuckinReece#0021: its just the time Dogecode#7321: lmao Dogecode#7321: i remember once I tried to use a hair dryer to dry out the inside of a bottle Dogecode#7321: and the hair dryer broke Dogecode#7321: just wouldnt turn on anymore after that Dogecode#7321: not sure what happened FuckinReece#0021: it probably got to hot and burned out FuckinReece#0021: the reason i say use a hair dryer is because a heat gun gets really hot FuckinReece#0021: and you can actually if you heat it up too much move stuff around FuckinReece#0021: or burn the board Dogecode#7321: ye Deleted User#0000: I don't got any warranty, I bought it for 10 euros
NecroFlex#9105: so you bought it used? Sydew#4661: My motherboard only supports i7, i5, pentium, 6th and 7th gen The United States Air Force#7904: Hmm Sydew#4661: I got an Msi B205M Mortar The United States Air Force#7904: Makes sense The United States Air Force#7904: Oof Sydew#4661: And rn i got a pentium g4400 Sydew#4661: Which only has 2 cores NecroFlex#9105: if you want to risk it, you can mod the mobo to support 8th and 9th gen aswell, tho you'd also need to mod the CPU itself dexsters56#4904: Hello everyone i have a pretty bad issue right now with my gpu pls help. i have a R9 270X from MSI and it works when the driver is not installed, but the display crashes once drivers apply, i did a bios update from the techpowerup website and still no difference. Any suggestions? My rig E5-2620v1 HyperX 8gb 1866mhz x1
X79G v2.0 Corsair CX850M 120gb ssd (Patriot) NecroFlex#9105: Dead gpu NecroFlex#9105: Sadly dexsters56#4904: oh dang it ok, thanks for the help, spent 35 euro on it and i bet i could maybe sell it for parts for 20 DarknessFalls229#2286: Damn, 35 euro on a dead r9 270x, thats a scam dexsters56#4904: a GT 1030 would have been a better buy for 40 euro DarknessFalls229#2286: way better, considering its low power requirement dexsters56#4904: I have a 300w Flex powerman powersupply im working with and the cpu under full load draws 55w dexsters56#4904: My friend asked if there is a AMD bios editor for gpus? , he has a R9 280X which at stock memory clocks keeps crashing, is there a bios editor out there that could allow him to change the base clocks of the core and memory? Alcyone#2233: VBE7 should work on 280x since it is a hd7000 rebrand DarknessFalls229#2286: wouldnt it be smarter to see if it stays stable with an MSI afterburner underclock? DarknessFalls229#2286: before committing a bios flash dexsters56#4904: @DarknessFalls229 he already did, he downclocked it alot and it works fine, but the settings fail to apply after a reboot
DarknessFalls229#2286: ah Alcyone#2233: you have to set ab to start with windows. dexsters56#4904: @Alcyone im not sure i was watching him do it through screenshare and now he afk dexsters56#4904: but he wants me to mod the bios and flash it Alcyone#2233: if he has a dual bios gpu, an igpu or a second card he can put in if the flash goes bad its pretty foolproof The United States Air Force#7904: https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali507/p/N82E16883360107?Item=N82E16883360107 lol The United States Air Force#7904: mmmmm yes https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/829814082479063080/unknown.png NecroFlex#9105: nice D.D.M#8226: Mmmmmmmmm Lady Mipha#0611: hmm yes 4TB SAS drive Sydew#4661: does someone know why would my case fans go 100% after a few seconds every time i shut down my pc? i changed my motherboard recently and now every time i shut my pc down, everything shuts down, and after 1 or 2 seconds my case fans suddently just go to 100% for less than a seconds and then the pc fully shuts down it never happened to me, i'm just wondering if it's normal mi3night#2562: sus

The gpu has beefy vrm's for what its made btw so that probably isnt the issue GPU: R9 FURY sapphire nitro
DarknessFalls229#2286: i feel like thats pretty normal behaviour DarknessFalls229#2286: when its not under load it can push higher voltages as its not consuming much amps, but under load it has to drop voltage to remain under powerlimit The United Earth citizen#0382: welp The United Earth citizen#0382: my Lumia 1020 just died The United Earth citizen#0382: i just started actually enjoying using it Alcyone#2233: @sandrosandro482 its vdroop, what you set isnt always what you get. sandrosandro482#8710: can i do anything about it Alcyone#2233: there might be bios mods to change LLC on fury I dunno. it will run hotter if you increase load line calibration though Alcyone#2233: I wouldnt worry about it at all, with no load you are pulling no amps, with no amperage you arent making much heat or using much power at any voltage FuckinReece#0021: I’m willing to take that risk The United States Air Force#7904: lol FuckinReece#0021: currently using the 7870 i fixed but its getting weird frame time pacing issues FuckinReece#0021: Got a real problem friends pc is turning on but not displaying a signal FuckinReece#0021: Not the gpu or ram FuckinReece#0021: Or psu
FuckinReece#0021: We are looking at motherboard and cpu FuckinReece#0021: Motherboard was damaged but worked but the cpu idk either any opinions FuckinReece#0021: Also it is good to note the motherboard does like how a ram freeze would go FuckinReece#0021: Like the picture froze The United States Air Force#7904: So my laptop crashed and I found out it was a hardware error The United States Air Force#7904: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/830290185756606494/20210409_225628.jpg The United States Air Force#7904: Is this a driver problem The United States Air Force#7904: Or an actual hardware problem The United States Air Force#7904: Like a dying gpu The United States Air Force#7904: Because when the laptop totally crashed The United States Air Force#7904: It was just the display FuckinReece#0021: DDU your drivers Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Just be on the lookout and reinstall your GPU driver FuckinReece#0021: going to ask this again FuckinReece#0021: but my friends pc just randomly stopped working
FuckinReece#0021: ram is fine FuckinReece#0021: gpu is fine FuckinReece#0021: psu is fine FuckinReece#0021: it turns on just fine FuckinReece#0021: but it doesnt want to boot FuckinReece#0021: no signs of life at all FuckinReece#0021: what could be the problem here D.D.M#8226: Test the ram on another system D.D.M#8226: Same with gpu and psu D.D.M#8226: Check if the cpu is fine D.D.M#8226: Maybe dust your mobo, i had a system that was particularly dirty and it had problems and sometimes it wouldn't boot The United States Air Force#7904: Prolly imma do that FuckinReece#0021: Motherboard is super clean and the ram and cpu worked FuckinReece#0021: It locked up the whole pc and now will power on without booting FuckinReece#0021: Also the psu is fine
D.D.M#8226: Then probs smth is wrong with the mobo Sony PS-FL77#3627: most likely the mobo, sorry chief, though mobo is cheaper than a GPU so I guess that's lucky? klondike#0580: Hello my install of Debian could completed, but completely dissappears in select boot device menu on my laptop, but is detected in a Linux live boot, any idea whats up?

DarknessFalls229#2286: wait DarknessFalls229#2286: hes gonna buy a NEW GPU in THIS market?
D.D.M#8226: new D.D.M#8226: in a retail store DarknessFalls229#2286: horrible time to do so DarknessFalls229#2286: but id pick the 1050ti i think D.D.M#8226: its not listed in the site D.D.M#8226: only the gt series cards and those two D.D.M#8226: actually wait D.D.M#8226: they do have a 1050 ti D.D.M#8226: oc D.D.M#8226: for 170 euro D.D.M#8226: on sale DarknessFalls229#2286: jesus fuck thats expensive DarknessFalls229#2286: but if its the best card they have... D.D.M#8226: well for him max is 200 euro D.D.M#8226: and his countrys economy is eh
D.D.M#8226: the best one for price rriot#6100: Just wait lol dexsters56#4904: I have a strange issue with my GTX 780 FE I personally run a X79G motherboard with E5-2620v1 and the cards outputs dont work but if i use a motherboard with onboard the gpu works fine like this ga-78lmt-s2 with phenom x6 1090T and pass the video signal through the onboard gpu. The GTX 780 works fine and runs games. But my friend owns a X58M-pro the GTX 780 works and its outputs also work but once the gpu is under load it works for 60 - 180 seconds and then it crashes turns fans up to 100% for 1min and then later the fans go back to normal but the screen blackscreened D.D.M#8226: Well my friend cant D.D.M#8226: His other gpu died and he needs a display output D.D.M#8226: And he plans to game rriot#6100: That’s rough ye can’t you borrow him some temporary gpu? rriot#6100: Bit of a waste buying a new gpu now D.D.M#8226: he lives in another country D.D.M#8226: idk if you noticed from the conversation D.D.M#8226: but still he is upgrading from a hd 8000 oem gpu D.D.M#8226: which was eh DarknessFalls229#2286: would he mind sidegrading until prices become a bit more normal? DarknessFalls229#2286: if that ever happens anyway
DarknessFalls229#2286: its been so long already D.D.M#8226: idk but he isnt that experienced in tech D.D.M#8226: but good enough to know the cards D.D.M#8226: after his gpu died he was showing me the rx 550 D.D.M#8226: 4gb NecroFlex#9105: Not really, for it being an older one sure, but used ones go for more than that on ebay D.D.M#8226: According to him the whole economy in his country is bs D.D.M#8226: So thats partly the problem NecroFlex#9105: i mean it sold around that price when it originally came out D.D.M#8226: So its the 1050 ti then? NecroFlex#9105: best of those available Dogecode#7321: while it’s still underpowered the r5 240 would still likely be an upgrade over a low end hd 8000 card Dogecode#7321: it’s cheap too Dogecode#7321: still baffles me why people pay so much for the gt 710 when this card is basically half the price and is in fact a better performer AnUrbanPenguin#1967: Any power supply experts lurking around this evening?
NecroFlex#9105: depends NecroFlex#9105: @AnUrbanPenguin AnUrbanPenguin#1967: I think ive diagnosed it correctly. My friend gave me his old GPU, a Gigabyte Windforce 980ti G1. Quite a nice card, although a hot and power hungry one. I thought id be fine running it. My PSU is 750w, single rail, 62A on the 12v. CPU is a Ryzen 5 3600 @ 4.2Ghz. Running PSU calculations with an overclock etc it spat out a load of around 575w and recommended a 650w PSU on the online calculators. When the card is installed in my PC when any load is put on it there is the loudest coil whine I have ever heard. My partner could hear it from 2 rooms away! When trialed on my friends PSU (an RM850) its totally silent. My PSU is a pretty old CoolerMaster GX750 (8-9 years old), but its never had a hard life. Sound like a dying PSU possibly flucations on the rail or something? Bae#4506: hm NecroFlex#9105: No NecroFlex#9105: That's normal sadly Bae#4506: what is making the sound NecroFlex#9105: Well NecroFlex#9105: Coils NecroFlex#9105: Vibrating at a frequency we can hewr NecroFlex#9105: Hear NecroFlex#9105: Chokes make those sounds Bae#4506: this reminds me of my gtx 690 i could hear it from downstairs kekw NecroFlex#9105: Usually it's not present or faint, but in some cases can be quite loud NecroFlex#9105: It's not bad or dangerous
Bae#4506: nope NecroFlex#9105: It's just that the gpu doesn't like the power it gets, it's too...noisy so to say NecroFlex#9105: Sadly the only way to fix that is with a new PSU NecroFlex#9105: Or if you want to remake the whole power delivery system on the GPU :P AnUrbanPenguin#1967: Its 100% the GPU making the sound. Guess a new PSU is on the cards. AnUrbanPenguin#1967: PC World / Currys has the TX750M for £75 right now Dogecode#7321: what might cause a laptop to boot up into windows and then immediately shut off AnUrbanPenguin#1967: Rapidly overheating springs to mind? Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Not quite Charlie Foxtrot#9831: If it was overheating then it shouldn't shut off right away Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Sounds like a hardware issue Charlie Foxtrot#9831: @Dogecode Dogecode#7321: like what sort of hardware issue or could it be anything Dogecode#7321: its my friend's laptop, he started having problems with it
klondike#0580: I need help forcibly downgrading my laptops bios. Its an older laptop and hasn't gotten a new bios in 3 years its a ln inspiron 15 5559. Running the newest bios my cpu is running at 400mhz. Until I disable BD_PROCHOT with a MSR mod. But that's only a temporary fix TheFifthAce#4128: disable speedstep TheFifthAce#4128: :woag: Charlie Foxtrot#9831: @Dogecode Maybe RAM? Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Pull out the sticks and clean them Dogecode#7321: ye hopefully its just ram as Ive got a billion ddr3l sticks to swap NecroFlex#9105: I've seen the issue before, it's not shutting down NecroFlex#9105: Rip this secret that has gotten me so many free laptops NecroFlex#9105: The battery is fucked/shortrd, when you get into windows it sees it as empty and goes to sleep/hibernation NecroFlex#9105: Remove the battery and try again AnUrbanPenguin#1967: Ordered a Corsair TX750M to replace my old CoolerMaster GX750. Lets hope itll solve my 980Ti coil whine woes. AnUrbanPenguin#1967: GX750 was going for nearly 10 years. Still is going, just obviously not in ideal condition it seems. Modular one will certainly make cable management easier. That GX750 has a crazy number of cables. My PSU basement is near to exploding. No idea how I got them all in there! read bio/description#8459: pretty sure that would be an issue with the gpu, not the psu issue but sure maybe that will help D.D.M#8226: @read bio/description he said it worked fine on a rm850
read bio/description#8459: ooh KeZz#4943: Anyone know about switches for keyboards. Looking for a quite mechanical keyboard, or at the very least on the quite end of it. But the amount of switch colours and brands, im kinda stuck on what i should be looking for? KeZz#4943: Just need a keyboard that doesnt sound like the clicker from the last of us when im playing later in the evenings and the gf is asleep read bio/description#8459: u mean quiet? get reds read bio/description#8459: usually u get three choices - blue, brown and reds read bio/description#8459: reds are the most silent ones KeZz#4943: Any red switch keyboards for 50-80 pounds that you would recommend or heard good things about? read bio/description#8459: I dont really know that many keyboards besides what I can get in Poland, but those are polish brands KeZz#4943: Ill keep looking. Need one with Fn keys but no num pad. At least im narrowing it down read bio/description#8459: so a 60% @KeZz read bio/description#8459: i heard good stuff about anne pro 2 and rk61 iirc read bio/description#8459: these are often found on aliexpress KeZz#4943: Whats 60%? KeZz#4943: Just checked, I need the FN keys to be seperate keys. Mostly as extra since once in a while i may play an MMO RPG and those games need all the keys you can get. Aside from num pad, its too far and usually just gathers dust Nasko#4961: I think i know a great option hyperx alloy fps pro
Nasko#4961: 88.86 usd in my country read bio/description#8459: so tkl then AnUrbanPenguin#1967: Yea the GPU worked perfect on an RM850. So im guessing as the PSU is like 9 years old its probably on its way out. Sony PS-FL77#3627: Right so I've got a Peppermint OS (mint based) distro running on an AM3 PC powered by an Athlon II x3 and the motherboard chipset/graphics is Nvidia Sony PS-FL77#3627: And uh, every single web page I try to navigate is a giant flickering mess Sony PS-FL77#3627: Now I know Nvidia and Linux don't play nice in certain cases, but does anyone know what this problem could be? D.D.M#8226: Have you tried windows or maybe another linux distro? Lady Mipha#0611: is it a nforce board Dogecode#7321: it was read bio/description#8459: thats most likely exactly the problem, check if windows work fine, if yes then theres your answer FuckinReece#0021: What would happen if you forget to plug in a cpu power FuckinReece#0021: Is it different for every board D.D.M#8226: in my case with a 1155 z77 gigabyte board fans spin up for a second and back down D.D.M#8226: but not much else KeZz#4943: downside is that all the decent price ones are US layout, which aint too different but id still prefer UK over it. But ill keep the suggestion noted down.
dwtietz#0421: Hi @Budget, I apologize for pinging you here, but I'm not sure of any other way to try to contact you directly. I'm curious to ask you about a disc that you had reviewed on your channel about 2 years ago, and to ask you if you might consider selling it if you still have it and you're not personally attached to it? It is, without a doubt, one of the worst video games ever made, but I'm a fairly serious collector and would love to have a copy of that disc in my collection. exquisitedark#1117: i dropped a bottle cap in my pc exquisitedark#1117: do i have to take it out exquisitedark#1117: or it wont cause problems D.D.M#8226: as long as it isnt wet Foxious#1859: not long as its not metal or wont fall into some fans D.D.M#8226: ^^ Sony PS-FL77#3627: I would defo still take it out lmao Sony PS-FL77#3627: and that's coming from the person who duct tapes HDDs Budget#8265: @dwtietz Is that the Paintbrawl Bigbox that I somehow ended up with? dwtietz#0421: That's the one! LOL
dwtietz#0421: I'm a very avid collector of games discs for any game that uses the Build game engine from anywhere in the world. This isn't quite my entire collection here, but I'm always keen to acquire new items when something interesting shows up, and that PaintBrawl disc is pretty interesting and one that I'd never seen before until just recently. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/832366297823707176/Collage-Sorted-81.png Budget#8265: @dwtietz I can see if i still have it tomorrow, i think its up on some shelving Budget#8265: id never seen it before till I made the video, but i must have owned it about a decade dwtietz#0421: I'll be excited to hear if it shows up. 🙂 The Tired Technician#8073: What in the hell is this. I've never seen anything like it before https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/832469632308740096/20210415_211645.jpg The Tired Technician#8073: only real numbers I can pull off it are " pn sn 32p0023zj1nbg27260" and "EC H23176C" The Tired Technician#8073: as well as "PN 32P0016 2002-07-31" The Tired Technician#8073: google isnt bringing anything back The Tired Technician#8073: Its an IBM card. but thats about all I know about it Grockle#7163: looks like a PCI-X card maybe The Tired Technician#8073: I suppose it could be The Tired Technician#8073: but what does the card do is the question primo007#7071: what kind of ports does it have? might be hi-speed networking The Tired Technician#8073: no ports on the back bracket at all The Tired Technician#8073: nothing
The Tired Technician#8073: also I just picked up some kind of 6800 ultra card for free. Ebay is saying the model I have is worth a couple hundred bucks The Tired Technician#8073: that cant be right The Tired Technician#8073: can it? The Tired Technician#8073: its a BFG Nvidia GeForce 6800 Ultra OC 256mb DDR3 AGP card The Tired Technician#8073: im getting results that go from a few hundred bucks The Tired Technician#8073: to like 20 Dogecode#7321: if it works it's worth a good deal Dogecode#7321: if not its a paperweight The Tired Technician#8073: well seeing as it works fine in windows 7 on my test bench system The Tired Technician#8073: im assuming it works Dogecode#7321: thats a good score Dogecode#7321: then The Tired Technician#8073: and I just got it given to me for free Dogecode#7321: ive been trying to get hold of one for a while, hard to find ones that actually work and arent doa
The Tired Technician#8073: I mean I could sell you this one The Tired Technician#8073: I dont have any use for it Dogecode#7321: eh ive got one already that I want to try to fix Dogecode#7321: it had artifacts but someone said it might be the bios The Tired Technician#8073: alrighty Dogecode#7321: you should build up a retro system out of that The Tired Technician#8073: already got a retro system The Tired Technician#8073: runs windows XP Dogecode#7321: does it have a 6800 ultra though Dogecode#7321: is the question The Tired Technician#8073: think its a GeForce 4 of some description and an Athlon 64 X2 4800+ The Tired Technician#8073: its been a long ass time since ive opened it up Dogecode#7321: slap that 6800 in there and youll see way better performance The Tired Technician#8073: I guess I could
The Tired Technician#8073: dont have enough molex power for it though The Tired Technician#8073: at least I assume The Tired Technician#8073: only like a 200 something watt psu Dogecode#7321: probably should upgrade that anyway The Tired Technician#8073: yeah probably The Tired Technician#8073: its like more than a decade old The Tired Technician#8073: its a dell dimension something or other The Tired Technician#8073: just swapped the board in it Dogecode#7321: even though its just an old pc the psu could go at any moment and nuke the whole thing The Tired Technician#8073: i guess Dogecode#7321: is the psu proprietary Dogecode#7321: since that will make it rough to swap The Tired Technician#8073: as far as I know The Tired Technician#8073: it is just standard parts The Tired Technician#8073: i mean it had an mATX motherboard in there
The Tired Technician#8073: with standard mounts The Tired Technician#8073: I should probably use the full size socket 939 board I have laying around though Dogecode#7321: ye its probably one of those used to have one like that should be standard The Tired Technician#8073: maybe pick up a cheap rosewill case or something Dogecode#7321: tbh i like the look of the old dell cases Dogecode#7321: retro in a good way The Tired Technician#8073: ah wait The Tired Technician#8073: the full sized 939 board i have has pcie for the gpu slot The Tired Technician#8073: not AGP Dogecode#7321: reminds me of my first pc (was like a dimension 8200 or something) The Tired Technician#8073: darn The Tired Technician#8073: I need an AGP board thats full ATX Dogecode#7321: i picked up one with a (doa) 6600gt once
Dogecode#7321: for like $20 The Tired Technician#8073: actually if im going 6800 ultra... would that be a good match for earlier P4s? The Tired Technician#8073: like northwood? Dogecode#7321: you could nick a lga775 board with agp they do exist the one I have is that then you can use a newer p4 or a pentium d The Tired Technician#8073: i have a PD 925 laying around that might work The Tired Technician#8073: or I could grab the (3.8?) ghz P4 and be a whale The Tired Technician#8073: pretty sure the highest clocked P4 was 3.8 The Tired Technician#8073: well time to do something that is completely stupid and wont work any better than sticking copper and zinc into a potato The Tired Technician#8073: time to run world of warships on maximum settings on this 6800 The Tired Technician#8073: I imagine its worse than my processors integrated graphics The Tired Technician#8073: how im getting this to work is an extremely jank pcie to AGP adapter cable The Tired Technician#8073: so yknow
The Tired Technician#8073: totally safe Dogecode#7321: seems legit DarknessFalls229#2286: @The Tired Technician hey if youre willing to sell that AGP 6800 ultra i know someone would LOVE to have a _working_ one The Tired Technician#8073: who would that be @DarknessFalls229 The Tired Technician#8073: actually, am I allowed to ping budget for something like that? D.D.M#8226: For like sending him stuff idk D.D.M#8226: Since he doesn't have a public po Sony PS-FL77#3627: If it's something particularly rare or interesting then possibly but it would have to be really amazing Beyond that he doesn't allow for donations due to the aforementioned lack of a PO Sony PS-FL77#3627: I imagine It would have to be pretty incredible for him to risk it D.D.M#8226: ^^ The Tired Technician#8073: Im guessing a working AGP 6800 Ultra does not fall under that category The Tired Technician#8073: he is on dnd right now, so I wont risk it for the biscuit The Tired Technician#8073: but hopefully he checks this chat Sony PS-FL77#3627: Eh I'm the gambling sort
@Budget doubt you're interested but I'd hate to leave @The Tired Technician hanging The Tired Technician#8073: dont get beaned over it The Tired Technician#8073: Well im gunna quickly shower, ping me and ill be back in time FuckinReece#0021: Weird question to ask but is it possible for a system to turn on without booting when the cpu 4 pin is disconnected Grockle#7163: I believe so yes, should stop with a CPU post error FuckinReece#0021: What if I’m not getting any signal Grockle#7163: Well you wouldn't Grockle#7163: It'll start to post, then get stuck when it doesn't detect the CPU Grockle#7163: And if your motherboard is equipped, it'll display a CPU post code error/ CPU debug LED / beep a code indicating a CPU error DarknessFalls229#2286: @The Tired Technician A dude named Jam, hes a little known around here, but left this server due to personal reasons. He's a retro tech kinda guy and has been searching for a 6800u AGP for a while now since his card died without a reason DarknessFalls229#2286: @jam#0384, dunno how mentioning people not in the server works Muse#0557: Jam Sony PS-FL77#3627: Oh shit you still in touch with Jam?

Dogecode#7321: and 2 nonworking Dogecode#7321: the lot was a good deal esp since all the cards in it worked and were in good condition, but I’d still like something better The United States Air Force#7904: I've got a voodoo 3 2000 an fx 5200 and an ati rage 128 I think The United States Air Force#7904: Not many The United States Air Force#7904: Also a dead 6800gt The United States Air Force#7904: And dead 7800gt The Tired Technician#8073: Hang on lemme spread em all out and take a picture The Tired Technician#8073: Might be a minute.

Good news ive found it, will check the contents in a bit Budget#8265: have been exceptionally busy with work at the moment dwtietz#0421: No worries @Budget , that's great news! I'm not even concerned about the contents per se, but if it's all there that's a bonus for sure. In my collection, most of my discs are just that - the discs. This is because when I was younger back in the 90's I was very poor and moved around the province a lot living in bachelor apartments or basically out of a duffle bag, so I never had room anywhere to keep boxes. I do have a couple of boxes, but the discs alone have always been my essential focal point. 😉 dwtietz#0421: Having some boxes now is pretty cool though, now that I'm much older and own a house, with a gun cabinet exclusively setup for storing my discs. 😉 So, at any point in time (no rush by any means) if you think you might be interested in selling that feel free to contact me publicly or privately so that we could make the arrangements. 🙂 hare_ware#4880: Are these good prices for these parts?

Dogecode#7321: id rather get in a good situation to upgrade than commit to a dead platform, even if its slightly faster hare_ware#4880: Is the 3000G the fastest Athlon? hare_ware#4880: The problem I have with slower AM4 is that, it's not much faster than my current platform. The E3-1230 v1 + 16 GB of DDR3 would be a better value, and I just keep the rest of my system hare_ware#4880: Maybe I'll just go that route and avoid the headache... hare_ware#4880: Biggest downside is really just keeping the Optiplex motherboard, but I've already learned to live with it at this point really. The Tired Technician#8073: Theres also like the 240ge The Tired Technician#8073: but you could also pick up the AMD A12-9800 or the AMD Athlon X4 950 if you want the AM4 platform that is really really cheap The Tired Technician#8073: pick up a ryzen later The Tired Technician#8073: But as far as I know, the 3000g is the fasted AM4 athlon out right now.
The Tired Technician#8073: Honestly AM4 even now is worth it. Browsing aliexpress for even a little bit you can find a cheap board and processor. The Tired Technician#8073: Having experience with both 2nd gen intel both xeon and consumer platform, going newer platform is werf The Tired Technician#8073: even if you have fewer physical cores, they are much stronger cores than that xeon bundle The Tired Technician#8073: but AMD doing their thing, they usually have more cores than intel anyways, so wont really have to worry about that hare_ware#4880: Still not sure if cheap AM4 is worth it over just buying an E3-1230 v1. Need to look at more benchmarks The Tired Technician#8073: It all depends The Tired Technician#8073: *which* cheap AM4 are you looking at D.D.M#8226: if you dont plan to overclock D.D.M#8226: a simple a320 will do The Tired Technician#8073: A320 board, and a ryzen 5 3500X off AliExpress is like 200 bucks total The Tired Technician#8073: with ram and cooler included The Tired Technician#8073: or even cheaper, you could get an R5 1500X The Tired Technician#8073: for like, 70 USD The Tired Technician#8073: which is already what youre paying for that 4th gen intel chip you were going to buy off ebay hare_ware#4880: A B450 board, Ryzen R5 1600 vs all the Athlons and and 8 GB of DDR4.
vs E3-1230 v1, keep my motherboard, buy a 16 GB or 32 GB kit of RAM. vs E3-1230 v3 and keep my RAM (8GB) The Tired Technician#8073: Are you looking to overclock The Tired Technician#8073: yay or nay The Tired Technician#8073: if yes, you can go for a B*3*50 board, and save a little money there The Tired Technician#8073: if not, A320 is even cheaper than that hare_ware#4880: No, overclocking, this is a workstation. Doesn't B350 kind negate the whole upgrade path thing? Theres no Zen 2 support afaik. The Tired Technician#8073: Maybe, but if youre going to buy cheap ryzen anyways, that isnt an issue hare_ware#4880: The R5 1500X is going for around $140 on eBay, I'm scared to check amazon The Tired Technician#8073: dont check either of those The Tired Technician#8073: https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?catId=0&initiative_id=SB_20210420212857&SearchText=AM4+cpu The Tired Technician#8073: thats what youre looking for The Tired Technician#8073: AliExpress, Tao Bao, Deal Extreme The Tired Technician#8073: Ebay is usually good, but chinese websites are better The Tired Technician#8073: like an 8 core 1500X right now is going for about 80 bucks
D.D.M#8226: eh i would go with the 3500x The Tired Technician#8073: That is a better option yes, but they were saying cheap The Tired Technician#8073: and that is cheap for ryzen right now hare_ware#4880: What's the catch? How is this possible? The Tired Technician#8073: Catch is shipping time The Tired Technician#8073: usually takes about a month in shipping on a boat from china hare_ware#4880: I knew about that, but there's gotta be something worse, why do all the seller have these CPU? how are they able and willing to charge these prices? The Tired Technician#8073: Because they are Chinese OEM deal The Tired Technician#8073: deals* The Tired Technician#8073: they pulled these processors from china only OEM machines and are reselling them at a discount for being used The Tired Technician#8073: at least for the majority of cases The Tired Technician#8073: some are probably really cheap because all the FABs are over there, so workers can come home with computer parts The Tired Technician#8073: that were spare or something The Tired Technician#8073: but bottom line is, all the manufacturing for these things are over there, so its cheap. hare_ware#4880: souvenir-bin dies hehe
hare_ware#4880: But I'm not sure if 3 more months with an i3-2100 is worth the savings... The Tired Technician#8073: and bonus deal, you can pick up the southeast asia specific CPUs, the 1500X, 3500X, ryzen pro 4560G The Tired Technician#8073: things like that The Tired Technician#8073: things that were never released for american markets The Tired Technician#8073: prime reason is gaming cafes. AMD makes a cut down version of a chip that already exists, and sells it to gaming cafes at a discount The Tired Technician#8073: then once all these cafes are done using them and upgrade The Tired Technician#8073: guess where they go The Tired Technician#8073: like the 1500X is just a 1700X without the Hyperthreading The Tired Technician#8073: sorry The Tired Technician#8073: SMT hare_ware#4880: This is very very tempting, ngl. But 3 months, especially with most of that being summer break, sound pretty bad, but at the same time I'll be out of town a for a few weeks of that... remoting in to the sandy i3 though... The Tired Technician#8073: For now, just a basic stopgap The Tired Technician#8073: you could consider the Xeon E3-1275 v1 The Tired Technician#8073: its the i7-2600 but just a hair cheaper The Tired Technician#8073: right now its about 60 bucks on AliExpress
The Tired Technician#8073: and the i7 equivalent is 80-90 ish hare_ware#4880: The E3-1230 is now going for $35 :Heyyy: The Tired Technician#8073: aye, but the 1275 is clocked higher, at normal i7 clocks The Tired Technician#8073: instead of the i7 S skew hare_ware#4880: And the same power draw, might end up having to replace the cooler too, and I'm not sure if the Optiplex 990 uses a standard mount The Tired Technician#8073: for just putting an i7 into it? The Tired Technician#8073: itll be fine The Tired Technician#8073: i got the 9020 with the same cooler with the 4770k and it stays nice and cool The Tired Technician#8073: or is it the 4790k.... The Tired Technician#8073: eh either one The Tired Technician#8073: but to answer your question, no Dell does not use a standard mount. And even if they did, they have a proprietary CPU fan pinout The Tired Technician#8073: If youre really worried about heat, you can buy the taller tower cooler that you can pick up on ebay for cheap The Tired Technician#8073: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Optiplex-790-390-990-790-Tower-Desktop-CPU-Heatsink-Fan-0D0W1H-089R8J/284166305560?hash=item4229a1b718:g:2LoAAOSwUKxYbq0q The Tired Technician#8073: But mine has the stock little low profile bro on it, and its fine hare_ware#4880: Alright, the E3-1275 isn't actually that much more expensive (found one for $45), I'm going to commit. No turning back or reconsidering it, I'll need an HDMI to DVI/VGA converter and tube of thermal paste too though.
The Tired Technician#8073: the 1275 is a good stopgap for upgrading your system The Tired Technician#8073: you have the MT or SFF version? hare_ware#4880: MT, but it's in a normal case now. The Tired Technician#8073: right-o The Tired Technician#8073: one more thing if you havent bought it yet The Tired Technician#8073: make sure that chip will work with your chipset The Tired Technician#8073: I think you have the Q67 Express chipset hare_ware#4880: Yeah The Tired Technician#8073: Ive had problems in the past with that chipset talking with Xeons hare_ware#4880: I've seen people pair it with the E3-1230 The Tired Technician#8073: yeah its kinda touch and go The Tired Technician#8073: like my HP 8200 Elite system will not speak with my spare 1275 at all The Tired Technician#8073: but will talk with the i7-2600 The Tired Technician#8073: then my own dell can see that same 1275 on the same chipset The Tired Technician#8073: its touch and go
hare_ware#4880: Oh wait, is it an Optiplex? What's the BIOS version? The Tired Technician#8073: well its a 790, so not quite the same The Tired Technician#8073: but lemme check The Tired Technician#8073: pretty sure I updated it to the latest revision though hare_ware#4880: I think the 790 only really had less DIMM slots, and maybe less sata The Tired Technician#8073: Bios version is A21 The Tired Technician#8073: release date March 21, 2018 hare_ware#4880: I'll remember to check that the next time I reboot, but I'm probably on something older The Tired Technician#8073: 790 also has a different chipset The Tired Technician#8073: Q65 Express as apposed to Q67 Express The Tired Technician#8073: different board technically as well The Tired Technician#8073: I would update it to lastest revision though, just to be safe hare_ware#4880: I could also try both The Tired Technician#8073: Well just wait till the actual CPU gets there The Tired Technician#8073: then make sure to update the BIOS before putting in the new guy
hare_ware#4880: I'll probably only update if it doesn't work, rather not find out the hard way it got locked out in a newer bios. The Tired Technician#8073: yeah thats true The Tired Technician#8073: BIOS is more of a "if it isnt broke, dont fix it" kinda thing anyways Dogecode#7321: Not recommended Dogecode#7321: a320 is also a dead platform Dogecode#7321: at least go up a notch to b450 so you can get 5000 series eventually D.D.M#8226: hmm weird D.D.M#8226: i built a couple systems with those mobos for friends The Tired Technician#8073: I mean I have an A320 The Tired Technician#8073: seems fine to me D.D.M#8226: and they didnt have issues yet hare_ware#4880: I'm going with an E3-1275 v1, and waiting out the shortage. The Tired Technician#8073: @Dogecode hey we just about have the same CPU. You have the normal 2600, I have the 2600X The Tired Technician#8073: fun The Tired Technician#8073: But yes, my advice for a stopgap until this all blows over was just upgrade the system you currently have for cheap
The Tired Technician#8073: its still plenty good Dogecode#7321: was gonna get the 2600x but the one I ended up getting was actually a 2600 Dogecode#7321: for the better anyway since the x skew is only marginally better Dogecode#7321: for more money The Tired Technician#8073: I got the 2600X for 60 bucks :P Dogecode#7321: when was that Dogecode#7321: got mine back in 2019 when it was still relatively fresh The Tired Technician#8073: right when 3000 came out, so only abour a year old The Tired Technician#8073: there were some meaty price slashes on these things Dogecode#7321: that was a good deal The Tired Technician#8073: damn right it was Dogecode#7321: its a perfectly good platform I guess but a320 doesn’t support ryzen 5000 hare_ware#4880: Wait, is A-Tech ram good or should I avoid it and just get a used kit Dogecode#7321: unless that changed and I wasn’t aware of it The Tired Technician#8073: A-tech is aight
The Tired Technician#8073: its pretty compatible with most stuff The Tired Technician#8073: just kinda generic looking D.D.M#8226: ye i know D.D.M#8226: i mentioned the board because the dude wanted to go cheap as possible The Tired Technician#8073: hey I just found a PCI USB 3.0 card The Tired Technician#8073: and its even low profile The Tired Technician#8073: I think im in love The Tired Technician#8073: Now my HP 8200 Elite SFF can finally have USB 3.0 Dogecode#7321: theres going as cheap as possible and then theres going as cheap as possible while still getting a good deal Dogecode#7321: its worth spending a tiny bit more for an extra feature or two hare_ware#4880: ^^ especially when the whole point is spending more for an upgrade path, doesn't make sense to cheap out on the board, if you plan to keep it through a GPU and CPU upgrade or two. The Tired Technician#8073: now i get to deal with a computer that doesnt support USB boot The Tired Technician#8073: aaaaamazing Dogecode#7321: what computer doesn’t support that is it some old pentium 3
The Tired Technician#8073: Yup. The Tired Technician#8073: 450mhz gateway machine Dogecode#7321: download a win98 iso from winworld and burn it onto a cd Dogecode#7321: thats what I did The Tired Technician#8073: already got 98 se on an official microsoft disk The Tired Technician#8073: full install cd Dogecode#7321: nice The Tired Technician#8073: since it was made in 99 as far as I can tell The Tired Technician#8073: I might sneak some ME on there The Tired Technician#8073: for the lulz Dogecode#7321: ive got win95 on legit microsoft cd Dogecode#7321: still have yet to use it for what I bought it for, since I never managed to fix the hard drive in that laptop The Tired Technician#8073: Only thing I can think of for this thing would be like The Tired Technician#8073: Phantasmagoria Dogecode#7321: I picked up a cf card and adapter but it didnt work
Dogecode#7321: every time I tried to install msdos it just failed to format it The Tired Technician#8073: F The Tired Technician#8073: I have still need one of those CF to IDE boards so I can get my original pentium machine working Dogecode#7321: also I was trying to install msdos on a pentium m dell and was gonna swap the drive over Dogecode#7321: Since that laptop lacks a floppy drive Dogecode#7321: but whether that wouldve worked or not it didnt want to format the cf card The Tired Technician#8073: F Bae#4506: dying psu? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/834464894916100096/filtered-8633E80E-CEBA-4D37-9B15-1CEEBA802974.mp4 DarknessFalls229#2286: yeah, or theres a short somewhere Bae#4506: yea it worked last week Bae#4506: sadge Bae#4506: damn you old hardware DarknessFalls229#2286: how old is that PSU?

Muse#0557: Always moody The United States Air Force#7904: Question why does a mobo turn on and post for a few seconds then abruptly turn off The United States Air Force#7904: I think its a capacitor or smth but idk cant fit deez nuts in ya mouth#4345: Is the ryzen 3700x worth it rn Grockle#7163: I'd say at 299 or so, yes Grockle#7163: It depends cant fit deez nuts in ya mouth#4345: Cool mi3night#2562: Depends on what you’re doing mi3night#2562: If you’re gaming, get 5600x mi3night#2562: Oh nvm 5600x stocks don’t exist anymore again mi3night#2562: Well it depends mi3night#2562: You already have am4 mobo @cant fit deez nuts in ya mouth rriot#6100: in stock here https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/835577492235485234/unknown.png mi3night#2562: If you don’t have a am4 mobo and you have a decent cpu cooler. I think something like a 10700kf for same price would do mi3night#2562: But if you have am4 mobo why not get 3700x
Sony PS-FL77#3627: I smell a filthy Dutch rriot#6100: the sweet scent of cheese and wooden shoes cant fit deez nuts in ya mouth#4345: i have nothing but a case also where i live the 5600x is like 400 dollar plus a hdmi cable cuz why not cant fit deez nuts in ya mouth#4345: also ill be gaming and editing cant fit deez nuts in ya mouth#4345: and possibly streaming mi3night#2562: 3700x @cant fit deez nuts in ya mouth mi3night#2562: Yeah get it cant fit deez nuts in ya mouth#4345: Doesn’t the i7 10700kf require a z490 motherboard cant fit deez nuts in ya mouth#4345: Those aren’t very cheap xD NecroFlex#9105: no? NecroFlex#9105: you can get a cheap B460 mobo NecroFlex#9105: you just won't be able to OC the CPU AngryDavid 808#3214: Hello! AngryDavid 808#3214: I wanted to ask for help about getting GTA V to work on my laptop Charlie Foxtrot#9831: What's the specifications of your laptop?
AngryDavid 808#3214: @Charlie Foxtrot Intel Core i7 Q720 4 GB RAM NVIDIA GeForce GTX 340M (VRAM = 1GB) AngryDavid 808#3214: Apart from 1.5 TB of storage (1 TB External) AngryDavid 808#3214: The whole problem is that it just stops responding as soon as the window is open. Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Ohhhhhh Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Those specs are bad Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Like really bad Charlie Foxtrot#9831: @AngryDavid 808 Charlie Foxtrot#9831: 340M is like 2010 technology now Dogecode#7321: it might run it but youd be looking at lowest settings 480p with no shadows Charlie Foxtrot#9831: I doubt it Dogecode#7321: budget got it running on terrible hardware before
Dogecode#7321: but youve gotta kiss any and all graphical enhancements goodbye Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Might as well play SA at this point Charlie Foxtrot#9831: It would be less of an eyesore Dogecode#7321: ye I wouldn't screw with it even if you could get it playable by doing that Charlie Foxtrot#9831: And you can get it for 0 dollars Dogecode#7321: would look horrible Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Or you could use a game streaming service Dogecode#7321: yes thats true Dogecode#7321: its actually not a bad deal from what ive heard Dogecode#7321: especially in the gpu climate Dogecode#7321: and you can squeeze by with some terrible hardware Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Conspiracy theory: NVIDIA sanctioned GPU bitcoin mining because it would force more people to use their streaming service Charlie Foxtrot#9831: During COVID when they are locked up in their homes too The United States Air Force#7904: Wait where can u get gta sa for free? Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Ask Mr.Google
The United States Air Force#7904: Lol The United States Air Force#7904: I thought alot of those were viruses Dogecode#7321: yeah i wouldnt do that cant fit deez nuts in ya mouth#4345: If I won’t OC then wouldn’t a 10700f or 10700 be the better cpu ? mi3night#2562: I mean tbh if you look at the prices right now mi3night#2562: B560 supports ram oc mi3night#2562: So it’s same price as b550 on amd side at $100 or so mi3night#2562: But 10700f is cheaper at $260 mi3night#2562: Actually depends on your country’s price mi3night#2562: But in the US, the 10700f is $80 cheaper mi3night#2562: One upside of amd is that you can upgrade anytime to a 3900x/5800x mi3night#2562: Unlike intel where you’re just stuck to 10900k mi3night#2562: Also the 3700x stock cooler is better than intel stock cooler mi3night#2562: So u might need a 212 evo for 10700f NecroFlex#9105: I mean, prices can be up and down, ao it could be little to no difference between this and the other 2. Also the KF can turbo higher iirc.
exquisitedark#1117: how do i make ecc ram work with normal exquisitedark#1117: i have one 8 gig stick of normal and i have 2 4 gig ecc exquisitedark#1117: i wanna switch one ecc with the normal one D.D.M#8226: you cant D.D.M#8226: ecc mem has a different notch on the pins D.D.M#8226: so you cant just slot it in a normal mobo exquisitedark#1117: i have ecc already in my computer DarknessFalls229#2286: @D.D.M erm pretty sure ECC memory has the same notch location as non-ECC. Some ECC sticks, dont know which, support working in non-ECC mode. My server worked with a mix of ECC and non-ECC without issues (somehow). So you can probably run ECC sticks on a non-ECC compatible platform, but it has to be ECC sticks that are compatible with it. Not something like fully buffered im pretty sure NecroFlex#9105: it had a different notch back in the ddr2 era D.D.M#8226: Hmm D.D.M#8226: Maybe ye D.D.M#8226: Idk havent worked with ecc mem in a while D.D.M#8226: Ask cobs DarknessFalls229#2286: seems to be correct, my FBDIMM of DDR2 doesnt fit in my regular DDR2 slot DarknessFalls229#2286: never actually tried that
DarknessFalls229#2286: i did accidentally use 1GB ECC sticks that didnt work with the AM3 board i tried them with AngryDavid 808#3214: It really really is. That's why I'm asking, I couldn't find help AngryDavid 808#3214: Honestly I don't really care about them. I play GTA IV on lowest settings possible. Even Black Mesa. AngryDavid 808#3214: I just want to barely play the game, that's all. It consumed half of my internet bandwidth for a month. Charlie Foxtrot#9831: @AngryDavid 808 https://youtu.be/T9WVThW3CNc Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Good luck AngryDavid 808#3214: I'll give it a shot ❤️ AngryDavid 808#3214: I should mention that I have the Epic Games version AngryDavid 808#3214: I grabbed it for free when it was on sale. D.D.M#8226: its the same method The Tired Technician#8073: This HP absolutely will not install Windows 10 The Tired Technician#8073: and its making me extremely angry hare_ware#4880: I install that E3-1275 in my Optiplex 990, ran great once last night, even ran a benchmark, and started mirroring my hard drive. It was hovering around 75°C when I purposely opened like 6 copies of Geekbench. I rebooted it after that, and now it's stuck in a POST with this code: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/835924856683364352/PXL_20210425_1701142662.jpg hare_ware#4880: I've tried removing everything, USB, PCIe, SATA, and even RAM just to be sure, but it still won't boot hare_ware#4880: It seems to be this error, I just reinstalled the power button from the original case https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/835928332138446908/Screenshot_20210425-132004.png
The Tired Technician#8073: overthermal protection error? hare_ware#4880: It wasn't overheating when I was running geekbench. It's been stopping in that exact spot on boot too @The Tired Technician The Tired Technician#8073: you got a GPU in it? hare_ware#4880: Yeah The Tired Technician#8073: take it out then hare_ware#4880: Already tried that hare_ware#4880: Took out and unplugged everything The Tired Technician#8073: :/ hare_ware#4880: I guess my only option is to put the i3 back in and update the bios The Tired Technician#8073: maybe? D.D.M#8226: i think i had the same issue The Tired Technician#8073: if it doesnt boot with the i3 in it though that might be a problem D.D.M#8226: though my pc didnt tell me codes hare_ware#4880: Worked the first boot, but not the second? D.D.M#8226: it updated a driver through win upade
D.D.M#8226: and stoped D.D.M#8226: updated the bios my other cpu D.D.M#8226: and worked just fine later hare_ware#4880: It stopped posting after a driver update? hare_ware#4880: Yikes... The Tired Technician#8073: Desperation BIOS flash time then? AngryDavid 808#3214: Here goes nothing. I'm going to start up GTA V hare_ware#4880: Yeah, I'll do it after breakfast The Tired Technician#8073: sounds like a plan hare_ware#4880: It's on A05 and the latest is A23. hare_ware#4880: Wish Dell had a full change log...

The Tired Technician#8073: for gta V? DarknessFalls229#2286: GT 320M The Tired Technician#8073: Oof. AngryDavid 808#3214: Yeah.. 💔 AngryDavid 808#3214: I wasted 110 GB of Internet Bandwidth for this DarknessFalls229#2286: rip The Tired Technician#8073: not meaning to be a rain on this parade, but at that point I would just turn that laptop into a desktop and hijack the PCI (or PCIe) slot in there for a gpu AngryDavid 808#3214: Idk how AngryDavid 808#3214: Nor do I have enough money to invest The Tired Technician#8073: well what laptop do you have AngryDavid 808#3214: HP Pavillion dv6
DarknessFalls229#2286: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/835938923493851157/unknown.png The Tired Technician#8073: yeah thats basically where im going wit that AngryDavid 808#3214: I'll do some research The Tired Technician#8073: you unplug the wifi module from your laptop, and hook in a PCIe cable to hook it up to an external dock DarknessFalls229#2286: Basicly this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/835939302390235156/20210416_215924.jpg The Tired Technician#8073: ^ AngryDavid 808#3214: And what about Wi-Fi? The Tired Technician#8073: you dont need wifi The Tired Technician#8073: youre turning it into a desktop AngryDavid 808#3214: Damn that's huge DarknessFalls229#2286: unless you have a second mini pcie slot you cant use it The Tired Technician#8073: so just plug it into wired DarknessFalls229#2286: of course you can do USB wifi The Tired Technician#8073: that too AngryDavid 808#3214: That's gonna be quite the task, the router is on the other side of the wall
The Tired Technician#8073: then USB wifi AngryDavid 808#3214: That could work DarknessFalls229#2286: btw The Tired Technician#8073: you also have a free mSATA slot The Tired Technician#8073: so you can use that AngryDavid 808#3214: Which slot is that? DarknessFalls229#2286: do you have access to your mini pcie slots if you open up the plates on the underside of your laptop? AngryDavid 808#3214: Never tried to so Idk The Tired Technician#8073: Looks like that https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/835939846475612231/Untitled.png DarknessFalls229#2286: wait, you never even opened the underside of your laptop? AngryDavid 808#3214: Ah! AngryDavid 808#3214: No. Never. DarknessFalls229#2286: dang AngryDavid 808#3214: Concerns. DarknessFalls229#2286: well, usually there are these slot covers you can open without completely dismantling the laptop
AngryDavid 808#3214: Yep I saw them DarknessFalls229#2286: and get access to RAM, storage and such AngryDavid 808#3214: Yeah I know these DarknessFalls229#2286: so can you take a look and possible even take a pic? The Tired Technician#8073: This is what youre looking for https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/835940193181630464/Untitled.png The Tired Technician#8073: its underneath the stock hard drive The Tired Technician#8073: thats your wifi AngryDavid 808#3214: Well that is if the laptop was off The Tired Technician#8073: take that out, and plug in the other extension cable kit AngryDavid 808#3214: So it's near the WiFi card DarknessFalls229#2286: not necessarily The Tired Technician#8073: it *is* the wifi card DarknessFalls229#2286: the slot can be anywhere AngryDavid 808#3214: Oh The Tired Technician#8073: in this case, the wifi card is plugged into the slot youre looking for
AngryDavid 808#3214: So we remove the slot and plug in the eGPU there DarknessFalls229#2286: but still, youre going to need the adapter, a GPU and a powersupply The Tired Technician#8073: yep DarknessFalls229#2286: THEN DarknessFalls229#2286: it still has a possibility to not work AngryDavid 808#3214: Neat! DarknessFalls229#2286: as it doesnt on my i7 740QM AngryDavid 808#3214: That's a problem The Tired Technician#8073: https://www.ebay.com/itm/372144168003?hash=item56a5855c43:g:v2QAAOSwZqZaFTVS DarknessFalls229#2286: it give a code 12 on the GPU AngryDavid 808#3214: Let alone a Q720 The Tired Technician#8073: thats basically what youre looking for AngryDavid 808#3214: I see now! The Tired Technician#8073: though youre not looking for an NVMe slot one The Tired Technician#8073: you want Mini PCIe
The Tired Technician#8073: or even M.2 Wifi The Tired Technician#8073: AE key AngryDavid 808#3214: Maybe their official site can aid me a lot AngryDavid 808#3214: egpu.io The Tired Technician#8073: I mean.... maybe? But theres no official place to buy it The Tired Technician#8073: theres no like, centralized company that manufactures these things. All like china specials DarknessFalls229#2286: and still, buying the parts could be costly and be prepared to troubleshoot. So you may not want to go into it The Tired Technician#8073: In my opinion its werf, because im squeezing out the last life of my FX-7500 laptop this way. But its all personal preference AngryDavid 808#3214: Yeah, I'm not financially strong enough for that The Tired Technician#8073: its like 70-100 USD for the adapter, probably around 200-300 bucks for any GPU worth putting on there AngryDavid 808#3214: Good luck buddy The Tired Technician#8073: then another like 50 for the PSU AngryDavid 808#3214: Which is 6k LE The Tired Technician#8073: also I dont need good luck, its already dont and working fine The Tired Technician#8073: Turned it into an All in One with a GPU
The Tired Technician#8073: on the back of a monitor I had AngryDavid 808#3214: Good job man! Keep it up The Tired Technician#8073: uhh, thanks? AngryDavid 808#3214: Np hare_ware#4880: Swapping in the old CPU didn't fix it... Maybe it's the PSU? I'm still using the original 240w sff PSU and it hasn't had the best airflow in the past year, maybe the Xeon's power draw killed it? The Tired Technician#8073: Again its possible, but unlikely The Tired Technician#8073: personally The Tired Technician#8073: and this is just a whack at it, since I dont see the computer myself The Tired Technician#8073: is that it sounds like motherboard hare_ware#4880: I don't see why it would have died hare_ware#4880: Unless the VRMs failed. The Tired Technician#8073: Well obviously it didnt completely fail since you can still boot it up The Tired Technician#8073: but maybe some small component of it failed hare_ware#4880: Yeah, that's why I'm thinking it's the PSU, maybe one of the rails is causing some of the onboard devices (like the data controller or something) to not work right The Tired Technician#8073: its a possibility
The Tired Technician#8073: again I cant say for sure on anything since I dont have my hands on the computer hare_ware#4880: I know, I'm just looking more ideas. It's finals week so I can't borrow my brother's PSU right now The Tired Technician#8073: Finals for you too huh? The Tired Technician#8073: jeez The Tired Technician#8073: worst time to have computer troubles AngryDavid 808#3214: Yeah The Tired Technician#8073: You could always go to your high school or college and just use a computer there The Tired Technician#8073: or ask to borrow a laptop or chromebook hare_ware#4880: I have a laptop I use mostly for school, so it's fine. I have a VRChat avatar commission that I need to finish though... I might have to do that on the laptop too The Tired Technician#8073: You might have to FuckinReece#0021: wait do you make the models? hare_ware#4880: Yeah, well... used to now that my only PC with a decent-ish GPU is dead now hare_ware#4880: Wait, actually I take that back, there's just some things that are barely doable without a good GPU, like texturing. Bae#4506: ps2 slim worked fine untill now sometimes audio is fucked and sometimes green lines on bottom usually artifacts when loading games is it just dying or can i fix it https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/836182576020455424/sstg-D5F0ABC4-F05B-4CFE-9FCD-88435CFBF61E.mp4 Bae#4506: the worst it has gotten https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/836182795298406410/image0.jpg
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: @Bae It looks like a borked display connector? Bae#4506: yea maybe Bae#4506: it has nothing to do with me gaming on it 5 to 7 hours a day on it???? D.D.M#8226: Ye try checking the display conector D.D.M#8226: Both ends D.D.M#8226: Try using a av to scart adapter D.D.M#8226: If you are in the eu D.D.M#8226: It worked for me when i had display issues D.D.M#8226: If the audio is buzzing and stuff that might be one of the audio cables Bae#4506: yea Bae#4506: im in eu Bae#4506: otherwise ill ditch the trash original av cable Sony PS-FL77#3627: Replacing the AV cable will mostly likely fix your issue Sony PS-FL77#3627: If you want to upgrade to component (if your TV allows it) you have to first change the PS2's settings otherwise it won't display properly Sony PS-FL77#3627: Also the audio issue could theoretically be isolated by using optical if it persists but a new cable should fix that too
Bae#4506: av to scart dosent work so ill buy a new one D.D.M#8226: while you are at it get a composite cable instead FuckinReece#0021: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/790102799656026133/836242531548397578/image0.jpg FuckinReece#0021: does anybody know the source of these stupid dragon feet Sony PS-FL77#3627: Component > Composite D.D.M#8226: Oh oof D.D.M#8226: Sry meant to say component Milita_Grunt33#4669: How bad is this? The socket has two broken pins and without a CPU it won’t even try to turn on. Is sending it to have the socket replaced a good idea or does this board have more issues? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/836317530180026408/video0.mov D.D.M#8226: Wdym broken D.D.M#8226: Like literally riped off? D.D.M#8226: Also mobo name? Milita_Grunt33#4669: Here's the socket. It's an ASUS Z10PE-D16 https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/836319159666737198/E9S2YZ012426_1.jpg D.D.M#8226: Sry i cant see but are the pins completely ripped off? Milita_Grunt33#4669: Yeah there's a little left in them but not enough to make contact or anything D.D.M#8226: Thats certainly not good
D.D.M#8226: What about the other socket? Lady Mipha#0611: ^^^ Lady Mipha#0611: also the not turning on without a cpu is fine Milita_Grunt33#4669: The other socket is fine but with only it populated no start Lady Mipha#0611: oh yeah just had a look at some videos that broken socket is the main socket Lady Mipha#0611: basically system won't start without it Lady Mipha#0611: get it repaired @Milita_Grunt33 DarknessFalls229#2286: @Milita_Grunt33 did you at least try to use the main socket? perhaps you got lucky and the broken pins are just for voltage DarknessFalls229#2286: or unlucky and it wont detect memory channels, other features or the worst; not boot at all Milita_Grunt33#4669: The socket that is damaged is the main and it just power cycles forever with a cpu installed DarknessFalls229#2286: damn, what a shame DarknessFalls229#2286: then yeah get the socket repaired if you really want to bother Milita_Grunt33#4669: ASUS quoted me $416 to fix it so I'm just buying one of those $100 Chinese no name ones instead DarknessFalls229#2286: jesus DarknessFalls229#2286: thats a lot
Milita_Grunt33#4669: But I have a reflow station and all of that so I'm gonna try and replace it myself because I'm throwing it away either way Milita_Grunt33#4669: I just hope that the socket isn't the only problem with it DarknessFalls229#2286: yeah dont just throw it away D.D.M#8226: Well good luck with it JustinXenyx#8854: Before you try to wing anything and potentially waste money: Check if the pins are important first. JustinXenyx#8854: If it's only a ground and a power pin missing, that should not cause the motherboard to stop booting JustinXenyx#8854: If there are data pins missing, then you have a problem Milita_Grunt33#4669: Attempted the repair and the first pad pulled the trace when the socket lifted.
