Deleted User#0000: the model should be here https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/837278652587966484/unknown.png
D.D.M#8226: no i am not home rn
Deleted User#0000: settings>system>screen
Deleted User#0000: ok
D.D.M#8226: i know how to do it
D.D.M#8226: @Deleted User its a Phillips phl 273v5l
D.D.M#8226: 27 inch 1920x1080 60hz
D.D.M#8226: It has dvi, vga and hdmi if you need to know
Deleted User#0000: i would need display port and 1440p or above
Deleted User#0000: my GPU has 1hdmi and 3DP
D.D.M#8226: Well then maybe see if you can find a benq display
D.D.M#8226: One of the more expensive ones
D.D.M#8226: As from what ive heard many of them are great
D.D.M#8226: Above the 100 euro mark |
FuckinReece#0021: its possible that its not your monitopr
FuckinReece#0021: i used to get those but it was some sorta gpu problem that went away after a while
D.D.M#8226: doesnt look like one to me
D.D.M#8226: the ones around it are dark
D.D.M#8226: too
FuckinReece#0021: the ones i got looked identical
D.D.M#8226: huh
FuckinReece#0021: I don’t remember what caused it but a few years ago me and my friend would get dead pixels that were in software
FuckinReece#0021: If you want to check if it’s not really there screenshot the area with snippingtool
FuckinReece#0021: Back at it https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/837371993309184050/image0.jpg
DarknessFalls229#2286: Wouldnt you think its bad memory?
Also if i were you id remove any heatsinks and thermal pads still attatched
DarknessFalls229#2286: @FuckinReece
FuckinReece#0021: I’m pretty sure this card has bad solder joints
FuckinReece#0021: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/837379247735308349/image0.jpg |
FuckinReece#0021: Because it worked
FuckinReece#0021: As for everything else I just wanted to see if this would work again and really didn’t care
FuckinReece#0021: Also the solder joint problem was pretty common on the 7800 series
rriot#6100: i respect it, hopefully it will last
LaeMat#0420: my drive just went fucky what? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/837416045358481439/unknown.png
LaeMat#0420: now it's gone https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/837442069878013952/unknown.png
LaeMat#0420: is it cooked?
LaeMat#0420: I mean my PC sees it https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/837442681315000330/PXL_20210429_213755714.jpg

Dogecode#7321: any idea why this computer would just not show any video with a certain graphics card (r5 240)
tried two different ones and it didnt work, but it worked when I tried some old nvidia card
FuckinReece#0021: the same reason why budgets pc from a few months ago wouldnt
FuckinReece#0021: the pcie slot is dying
FuckinReece#0021: only allowing 8x cards |
FuckinReece#0021: you can try using electronics parts cleaner
FuckinReece#0021: and absolutely going ham in the slot
FuckinReece#0021: that might get it to work again
Dogecode#7321: but the r5 240 should be an 8x card
it doesnt even have all of the 16x connectors populated
FuckinReece#0021: what kind of board is it
FuckinReece#0021: it can be locked out from the bios
Dogecode#7321: some oem board
i went back in and changed it to discrete gpu
Dogecode#7321: did nothing
FuckinReece#0021: might have a lock out for it
Dogecode#7321: hopefully I didnt damage anything since I just had it apart for cleaning
mobo was covered in dust
Dogecode#7321: wouldnt think so, I got two of basically the same pc and it works in the other one
FuckinReece#0021: any idea what oem it was |
Dogecode#7321: lenovo thinkcentre
FuckinReece#0021: and you are sure this card works
FuckinReece#0021: im sticking too that the 16x slot no longer works fully
FuckinReece#0021: and that its just not an 8x card
Dogecode#7321: should still work
i just repasted it, but I think the pc is the issue since I tried the other r5 240 i had, same issue
FuckinReece#0021: something similar happened with a lga 775 board i had
FuckinReece#0021: i was using a quadro 600 and that wouldnt even work
FuckinReece#0021: assuming that they are both similar in pcie interface
FuckinReece#0021: then that is probably the issue
FuckinReece#0021: i would try if i were you putting in another 16x card
FuckinReece#0021: or something similar
Dogecode#7321: could be locked out, idk
it is a different mobo actually
FuckinReece#0021: try and find the name of the motherboard through the specs of the system |
FuckinReece#0021: thats how i got the name of my oem board
FuckinReece#0021: also the bios
Dogecode#7321: it says right on the mobo
Dogecode#7321: lenovo IH61M
Deleted User#0000: ok it appeared in screenshot wtf https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/837545709644283914/unknown.png
Deleted User#0000: thank you sir, you just saved me a few hundred euros
i immediately assumed it was a hardware defect and it being a software issue didn't even cross my mind, re installed GPU drivers and it disappeared
Racey#8574: This man's graphics drivers tried to play him
Racey#8574: Damn
Deleted User#0000: yeah, i almost got trolled into buying a new screen, if i wasn't a lazy fuck i would have already done research and bought a new screen yesterday https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/837547371822055464/nvidiarrghh.jpg
Lady Mipha#0611: ah yes novideo
JustinXenyx#8854: How old is that PC? My 1155 SFF Optiplex won't boot with a GT630 when i disable legacy support
Dogecode#7321: its also 1155
Dogecode#7321: i5 2400
LolBroek#5470: Pcsx2 still runs crap on my pc I tried many things. Either there is still something im missing or my pc is just a piece of crap |
LolBroek#5470: Maybe i should try a different game see if that helps
LolBroek#5470: Well Max Payne seems to run fine. Maybe its just that scarface the scarface the world is yours just runs like crap on pc. PC port and emulation. Or just needs better specs. To run
D.D.M#8226: Try ratchet and clank thats a more demanding title
D.D.M#8226: If it lags then ye its your pcs specs
LolBroek#5470: LCS also seems to lag
LolBroek#5470: I have RaC 3
Lady Mipha#0611: gran turismo 4 also brings computers to their knees
LolBroek#5470: I think it's my pc's specs
Lady Mipha#0611: yeah
Lady Mipha#0611: that cpu doesn't help
LolBroek#5470: I have gt4 but I can't rip it since it has heavy deap scratches around the outer sections, gets stuck at 51%. But the disk itself works, somehow . https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/837662245713608744/20210430_140957.jpg
DarknessFalls229#2286: feel like its "works up to a certain point" instead
DarknessFalls229#2286: you can try and smooth out the surface
FuckinReece#0021: And nobody believed me
LolBroek#5470: I've tried GT4 with the actual disk instead of trying to rip it. And omg it's horrible . 65% at best. |
FuckinReece#0021: not a single one of the audio devices exist https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/837705959656259694/unknown.png
FuckinReece#0021: and i cant get audio out of my motherboard
FuckinReece#0021: assuming its a driver problem but i installed the latest drivers and its not working either
Dogecode#7321: @FuckinReece yeah that other thinkcentre Ive got is very different under the hood, has an entirely different motherboard with lga 1150 socket
So it could very well be locked out on the older one
Dogecode#7321: which sucks because now Ive gotta find a decent card that actually works on it
could just sell it with the igpu but it probably won’t fetch much
FuckinReece#0021: i dont even think it would be worth it personally
FuckinReece#0021: This is t half bad the i3 550 aged decently well https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/837745819640791101/image0.jpg
FuckinReece#0021: And the 4gb of ram ain’t bad either
FuckinReece#0021: like really what you have here is something better than a school computer
FuckinReece#0021: and i really like that considering that what they provided us was really bottom of the barrel
FuckinReece#0021: also yes the power supply looks like a bomb
FuckinReece#0021: but this psu has proved its worth to me and outlived about 3 80 plus psus in its time
FuckinReece#0021: its also older than me and i found it in a system from circa 2002 |
FuckinReece#0021: only thing here i dont really like is the motherboard because i cant get any audio out of it for whatever reason
FuckinReece#0021: yet it tells me i have an audio device in
Dogecode#7321: could get a sound card
FuckinReece#0021: no room for expansion
FuckinReece#0021: only have the one pcie
FuckinReece#0021: and mini slot
D.D.M#8226: So my aunt recently gave me an acer aspire netbook from her work place that was trying to get rid of them
It has an Intel Atom from like 2011-2012, 1gb ddr3, and a 320gb hdd.
The laptop itself runs youtube well if you give it time, to me it looks like its being held back by the 1gb ram. Would it be wise to upgrade it with more ram, and a 120gb ssd for like basic use?
Foxious#1859: @D.D.M Well considering how cheap both of those are when used (and 120gb ssd's are cheap even new) i would say go for it
Foxious#1859: altough i would ask you to test Team Fortress 2 on it
D.D.M#8226: Welp rn i cant its at my grandmas house, but it ran half life on highest settings at like 40 to 50 smth fps
D.D.M#8226: And i also tried Sven co op ran the same of most servers
JustinXenyx#8854: Once you upgrade the RAM the CPU bottleneck becomes way more apparent
JustinXenyx#8854: You can't really make those dinky atoms useable for modern stuff, they're only useful for older DOS games |
Foxious#1859: To be fair, it would be a neat project
Foxious#1859: and the parts would not be crazy expensive
Foxious#1859: In fact you could remove the screen, install a C64 or other vintage computer editor, make it to boot on startup
Foxious#1859: remove the screen, and make it into a home micro
D.D.M#8226: Nah i was thinking of installing debian
D.D.M#8226: And use it for basic stuff when i need a pc
D.D.M#8226: And reuse the hdd for my pc
D.D.M#8226: Since it doesn't have a high number of startup and run time hours
D.D.M#8226: And selling sites here tend to sell low speed ddr3
D.D.M#8226: I am not really into the c64 stuff, if i was i would do it
D.D.M#8226: So from the prices here i could get an ssd and a bit more ram for like 25€
D.D.M#8226: Maybe 20€ if a catch a deal

Deleted User#0000: Not sure if i sent it here yet but bought this laptop for 200$!
The United States Air Force#7904: Damn |
Foxious#1859: hopefully the specs are decent
Foxious#1859: i could get a ThonkPad for about the same price
The Tired Technician#8073: Im having real issues with this SSD that I picked up for the xeon PC I have
The Tired Technician#8073: its just being recognized as "Unknown" in crystaldiskinfo
The Tired Technician#8073: and whenever I try to install windows on it
The Tired Technician#8073: this HP PC I have is just saying "windows could not update the computer's boot configuration"
The Tired Technician#8073: and when I put in a drive with windows already on it
The Tired Technician#8073: it just says windows needs to be repaired BSD
The Tired Technician#8073: tf is wrong with this computer
The Tired Technician#8073: This message shows up even if I try to install from disk https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/838174405380800562/20210501_150508.jpg

FuckinReece#0021: Have you tried cloning a windows install onto it
Lady Mipha#0611: first what's the Motherboard this xeon is on
Lady Mipha#0611: @The Tired Technician ^^^
The Tired Technician#8073: Its an HP elite 8200 SFF |
The Tired Technician#8073: also yeah I tried cloning a windows 10 image and launching it
The Tired Technician#8073: and it didnt work
Dogecode#7321: bruh
my computer just had a weird crash
like the audio stuttered and then it just turned itself off and back on
Dogecode#7321: no bsod
D.D.M#8226: Odd
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: @The Tired Technician What's the SSD brand BTW? I hope it's not some Chinese no-names
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: If CDI couldn't even recognize it
The Tired Technician#8073: Crucial BX100 250gb
The Tired Technician#8073: @Charlie Foxtrot
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Is it really old?
The Tired Technician#8073: No not particularly
The Tired Technician#8073: the problem persists even when I clone windows to another drive
The Tired Technician#8073: So I dont think thats the issue |
The Tired Technician#8073: even if it is old, this SSD only has about 70 hours power on time. So its basically like new.
The Tired Technician#8073: Ive fully formatted
The Tired Technician#8073: Ive cleared CMOS
The Tired Technician#8073: this thing just spits out windows
D.D.M#8226: What does crystal disk info say?
DarknessFalls229#2286: @D.D.M bruh
D.D.M#8226: oh didnt see
D.D.M#8226: maybe the ssds firmware is cooked?
DarknessFalls229#2286: @The Tired Technician im guessing its just an incompatability issue with the SSD, i had a friend with a p55 system that had issues booting off a Adata SU650, but was fine when he tried a samsung evo drive
DarknessFalls229#2286: but alas. its just a guess
D.D.M#8226: @The Tired Technician have you tried in another pc?
D.D.M#8226: gonna guess the cloning part is a yes
DarknessFalls229#2286: seeing how he cloned windows onto the drive id say its fine in other computers
D.D.M#8226: but like can he boot the ssd on another pc?
DarknessFalls229#2286: was just gonna ask, dunno |
D.D.M#8226: though i dont really doubt the pc has support for the ssd
D.D.M#8226: since its just sata
D.D.M#8226: and ive seen all kinds of ssds in pcs
DarknessFalls229#2286: ive had issues with an SSD once, but that was just that one time
D.D.M#8226: over sata
D.D.M#8226: but worth to see if another pc boots it
DarknessFalls229#2286: my samsung 750 evo has been fine with p-much anything
The Tired Technician#8073: @DarknessFalls229 @D.D.M The problem persists even when I migrate windows to another drive. Even a hard drive. Ive tried all the different SATA ports too
D.D.M#8226: Oof looks like bad sata ports
The Tired Technician#8073: all of them?
The Tired Technician#8073: every single one of them is bad?
The Tired Technician#8073: only for installing windows?
The Tired Technician#8073: I got Manjaro onto it just fine, but windows 10 is fone
The Tired Technician#8073: fine*
The Tired Technician#8073: I dont think its bad SATA ports |
D.D.M#8226: Oh then if you got manjaro
D.D.M#8226: Hmm
The Tired Technician#8073: But I want Windows 10 on this box
D.D.M#8226: I think i had the same issue with another pc
The Tired Technician#8073: its going to be a workstation for my girlfriend. Who is not technically savvy at all
D.D.M#8226: It just would not install meither win 7, 8 or 10
D.D.M#8226: Probs there is a driver problem with windows
The Tired Technician#8073: that would be annoying
D.D.M#8226: I havent fixed this myself though easiest way is to get a sata card or smth
The Tired Technician#8073: so I might have to spend even *more* money on this stupid box
D.D.M#8226: Not much really those cards arent too expensive
D.D.M#8226: For pcie
The Tired Technician#8073: it would be PCI
The Tired Technician#8073: and low profile
D.D.M#8226: Wait |
D.D.M#8226: Only pci?
D.D.M#8226: Or pcie
The Tired Technician#8073: PCI
D.D.M#8226: Ah k
D.D.M#8226: Eh
D.D.M#8226: Pci sata cards are cheap
The Tired Technician#8073: PCIe slot is being taken by a 1050 ti, and the 1x slot is being taken by a sound card
The Tired Technician#8073: only free slot is a PCI slot
D.D.M#8226: Though slow
D.D.M#8226: Since it limited to 100 mbit bus
The Tired Technician#8073: since its only one slot, it wont have to share that bandwidth with anything else
The Tired Technician#8073: but its still annoying
D.D.M#8226: I think you should wait for someone else that might know how to fix this because you are going to suffer with the speeds
The Tired Technician#8073: most cards im seeing on ebay are only SATA I
The Tired Technician#8073: 1.5gb/s |
D.D.M#8226: Welp yes
D.D.M#8226: Limited to that because pci
The Tired Technician#8073: because PCI
The Tired Technician#8073: sigh this is annoying
The Tired Technician#8073: it doesnt install from disk or USB
The Tired Technician#8073: eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
mi3night#2562: @The Tired Technician u still need help?
mi3night#2562: What’s up
mi3night#2562: Summarise ur problem I’m too lazy to scroll up
The Tired Technician#8073: HP Elite 8200 SFF wont install windows 10 from any drive connected to any of the sata ports

The Tired Technician#8073: first picture is what happens when I try to run windows from a cloned drive
The Tired Technician#8073: second picture is what happens when I try to install it normally
The Tired Technician#8073: any type of drive, any sata port, both disk and USB |
Dogecode#7321: tried using startup repair? You can run that in the usb to repair the existing install
Dogecode#7321: idk if it would work though
The Tired Technician#8073: nope, hard lockup. System would restart after a bit
The Tired Technician#8073: cant get to startup repair screen
Gamefreak924#5901: Would anyone have any knowledge on upgrading a laptop's optical drive. It's for an Inspiron 1525. I'm looking to upgrade it to a blu-ray drive
Gamefreak924#5901: I'm unsure about any compatibility issues even if it's the right form factor
DarknessFalls229#2286: since its still sata id doubt it would be incompatible with the motherboard
DarknessFalls229#2286: just finding one that fits and has the correct face plate would be it i think
DarknessFalls229#2286: dunno if theyre are all made to a certain standard and if you can clip the old front on

Foxious#1859: I tought you said E-Tower (as in Emachines) and got incredibly confused
garbez#2314: hello so i was trying to fix my gpu issues so i uninstalled my gpu drivers, then i tried to reinstall the drivers, it did not work. i booted using integrated graphics, checked my device manager and nothing was there. so i checked my bios and it says there is no gpu in the pci-e slot even though there is
my gpu is an rx 570
is there anything i can try next? or should i just buy an new card
garbez#2314: i have no other pc to try it in at the moment |
Dogecode#7321: do you have the card enabled in the bios
like is it set to explicitly use onboard graphics
because windows might not recognize it in that case
Dogecode#7321: also make sure youve got pcie power plugged in, and that your monitor cable is plugged into the graphics card
Dogecode#7321: if it still doesnt work its likely a dead card
Dogecode#7321: or possibly a dead motherboard slot
Dogecode#7321: that can happen too
garbez#2314: the bios does not see the card at all
garbez#2314: i will try plugging in my wifi card into the slot i have my gpu in
garbez#2314: ok i think my graphics card is fucked
FuckinReece#0021: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/839316532257357834/image0.jpg
FuckinReece#0021: It works
FuckinReece#0021: but for whatever reason i cant get it to work with my gpu
Dogecode#7321: best bet to for certain confirm it is to try the card in another system when you can
Dogecode#7321: if it doesnt work there it's gone for sure |
Lady Mipha#0611: @Dogecode > best bet to for certain confirm it is to try the card in another system
Dogecode#7321: ?
Lady Mipha#0611: look at the message above the first ping
Dogecode#7321: oh 💀
Jazzzny#6861: Pretty high resolution

dexsters56#4904: My friend has a RX 5700 and he bios flashed it into a stock R 5700XT and now is having aritifacting issues, he cant flash it back and MSI afterburner keeps crashing. What can he do?
D.D.M#8226: wait so he flashed a rx 5700xt bios into a rx 5700?
D.D.M#8226: if so
D.D.M#8226: he needs to find the original bios
D.D.M#8226: and use amdflash
D.D.M#8226: i think thats what it was called
dexsters56#4904: He tried flashing it back but it kept saying theres a error with the bios file, and he tried it with the same bios from techpowerups website
D.D.M#8226: but what is he using to flash the card
D.D.M#8226: ? |

jojosensei#4198: I have an old screen monitor dell 190s which support up to 1280x1024 but when in it's native resolution, the screen blink black for 2 sec and the power button blink once orange. When it's in 1024x768 the problem is mostly gone but it does happen in some games. Any idea on that ?
Foxious#1859: @FuckinReece well, did you test it?
Foxious#1859: i want to know how it performed
FuckinReece#0021: it was pretty cool
FuckinReece#0021: cooler than the hunk of aluminum
FuckinReece#0021: but only like 10 degrees cooler
FuckinReece#0021: dumb as it sounds try it on another system
FuckinReece#0021: similarly
FuckinReece#0021: my gpu wouldnt send a signal to my new crt
FuckinReece#0021: at all
FuckinReece#0021: and it would just turn off |
jojosensei#4198: It's not exactly turning off I blink black for 2 sec every 15 seconds
FuckinReece#0021: and this happens only in certain games
FuckinReece#0021: what kind of monitor is it
FuckinReece#0021: dell 4:3
FuckinReece#0021: it can be overheating
Dogecode#7321: strange behavior like that might be a sign that it's dying
had a samsung monitor a while ago that started having blackouts every now and then, it got worse and worse until eventually it just wouldn't turn on anymore
jojosensei#4198: It's a dell 5:4 and it does that just at start when entering my session of window
jojosensei#4198: It quite regular when it does it
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Great temporary solution but please find a better permanent one
Sony PS-FL77#3627: If you have money for an AIO you have money for a $20 second hand case to fit it
Sony PS-FL77#3627: And frankly if not
Don't use an AIO xD
FuckinReece#0021: It was given to me
FuckinReece#0021: And I’m only using it because I wanted too |
Sony PS-FL77#3627: ...okay well I'll allow it xD
FuckinReece#0021: Just wanted to know what people thought

mi3night#2562: or fire hazard
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Anything's a fire hazard when you're involved
Jazzzny#6861: its safe
Jazzzny#6861: but why would you need that usb connector
mi3night#2562: my case has 3x usb headers
mi3night#2562: and my motherboard has 2
mi3night#2562: so i need a splitter
hare_ware#4880: I'm still having issues with that Optiplex 990 I was going to install a E3-1275 v1 in. I tried a different PSU and it booted up fine, so I ordered a new one, an Antec CSK 550W, and it's having the same issues as the original PSU. What could be happening here? |
It sort of boots with the other PSU I have from a 2004 Optiplex GX520 SFF, but only sometimes...
hare_ware#4880: It works if I mash F1
Jazzzny#6861: might be some sort of sensor failure
hare_ware#4880: Could be, it's running fine right now, I'm scared to reboot 💀
Foxious#1859: Hmm, my decade old Fujitsu LCD has this weird... static or shimmering effect on solid colours, maybe the caps are getting bad or something?

D.D.M#8226: i think i had a monitor with the same issue

Gamefreak924#5901: What's the best version of Mint to use for an old 32-bit netbook (Inspiron 1011, N270 CPU, 2GB)? I currently have 17.3 Mate installed on one, but I'm having an issue in every web browser where sites like guitarcenter.com take a really long time to respond or load. This is mainly with accessing options from the category drop-down menus. Would installing XFCE help it to run better? Or is this solely a hardware issue?
JustinXenyx#8854: Being quite honest, it's the dogshit hardware holding you back
JustinXenyx#8854: *especially* with modern web stuff
The United States Air Force#7904: honestly I'd just use puppy linux
The United States Air Force#7904: instead of mint
The United States Air Force#7904: an atom n270 is like prolly weaker than a pentium m
The United States Air Force#7904: and 2gb ram ain't alot
The United States Air Force#7904: at all
The United States Air Force#7904: and web stuff is gon be a def doodoo xp like justin said
Gamefreak924#5901: Okie doke
D.D.M#8226: I personally wouldgo with stock debian as it runs better on my netbook than mint did
Sony PS-FL77#3627: If you wanna push your luck Peppermint but that's not gonna work great lmao
FuckinReece#0021: Does anybody know how to flash a 7870 to a r9 270x
JustinXenyx#8854: Why?
JustinXenyx#8854: You're not gonna benefit anything from it |
JustinXenyx#8854: hell it might just make your 7870 unstable as the 270x has a higher stock memory clock
FuckinReece#0021: im not really going for performance as much as im looking to try something different out with it
FuckinReece#0021: the card
FuckinReece#0021: was broken then i fixed it
FuckinReece#0021: so all i really want to do is test something i havent done before
FuckinReece#0021: and flash a different cards bios on to it
D.D.M#8226: Eh no point but do your thing
D.D.M#8226: Also idk how
DarknessFalls229#2286: basicly finding a compatible bios and flashing it using something like atiflash or AMDflash
D.D.M#8226: Also anybody know a tool to check the health of a usb flash drive?
FuckinReece#0021: Pretty sure there is one in windows
D.D.M#8226: Which is?
The Tired Technician#8073: Anybody have any idea which os would be best for a socket 478 P4? Im currently leaning to Puppy Linux. (Since I already have an XP box)
Dogecode#7321: puppy or lubuntu
Dogecode#7321: I think puppy has some security flaws or something though since it runs everything as root, if you were planning to actually use it |
Dogecode#7321: at least thats what I heard
Dogecode#7321: its more of a toy/experimental OS
Dogecode#7321: you could make it a Win98 box
Sony PS-FL77#3627: I shifted from Lubuntu to peppermint because Lubuntu pissed me off ngl
Dogecode#7321: ye I havent messed with it a ton but its not as user friendly as some of them
but it'll run on low end hardware

jojosensei#4198: How is the msi b450m-a pro max ? |
mi3night#2562: @jojosensei#4198 how much?
mi3night#2562: Haha discord
mi3night#2562: @jojosensei how much
jojosensei#4198: 50 euros but my question is more about the quality of the mobo
jojosensei#4198: Because I have an Asus prime b350m-a. But I have trouble finding a CPU to flash it. And I don't know if it's better to juste sell it and buy a b450 pro max
DarknessFalls229#2286: the msi board you first said doesnt look that great for 50 dollars, pretty low end B450 imo. Also doesnt AMD not still have those bios flash CPU kits that you can borrow?
jojosensei#4198: It does but not for first gen mb from what I understood
jojosensei#4198: And it's 50 new not used
DarknessFalls229#2286: oh, then thats alright
DarknessFalls229#2286: still low end B450 though...
jojosensei#4198: Is it still better than the b350 ?
DarknessFalls229#2286: id argue no
The Tired Technician#8073: I would say its not better or worse comparatively
The Tired Technician#8073: only real difference is B350 cant get ryzen 5000 to work on it
DarknessFalls229#2286: well, the way i see it is that the B350 board has more features |
DarknessFalls229#2286: like more memory slots to name one
The Tired Technician#8073: yes, but motherboards are one of those components of the system where its not actually completely all that important
The Tired Technician#8073: at least to me
The Tired Technician#8073: but with that said
The Tired Technician#8073: it *is* down to personal preference
DarknessFalls229#2286: well one of the more important things for me is memory expansion
DarknessFalls229#2286: if you have 2 vacant slots, you can always populate them for more RAM
The Tired Technician#8073: I would just buy higher capacity two stick kit. In my experience it lets me clock it higher
The Tired Technician#8073: but again about that personal preference thing
DarknessFalls229#2286: i mean upgrading down the line
The Tired Technician#8073: yeah upgrading down the line
The Tired Technician#8073: I would get rid of my old sticks, and get higher capacity new ones
The Tired Technician#8073: sell them back on ebay or something
DarknessFalls229#2286: id just add to the sticks i already have
The Tired Technician#8073: I mean im absolutely guilty of that too |
DarknessFalls229#2286: got a 1366 board with just 3 slots of ram
DarknessFalls229#2286: absolute horrid
The Tired Technician#8073: dual channel +1
The Tired Technician#8073: two same capacity DIMMs
The Tired Technician#8073: with the third DIMM being the total capacity of the other two in dual channel
DarknessFalls229#2286: yeah, but id rather have a board with 6 proper slots
The Tired Technician#8073: I have a 2011 board with 6 slots on it
DarknessFalls229#2286: isnt 2011 a quad channel platform?
The Tired Technician#8073: it can be
The Tired Technician#8073: autocorrect :P
DarknessFalls229#2286: yeah, id rather stick to the most memory channels the platform supports
DarknessFalls229#2286: no hybrid dual channel or whatever
The Tired Technician#8073: I got 96gb of memory in that rig :P
DarknessFalls229#2286: mine has 6 :d
The Tired Technician#8073: but its also only 1333 ECC DDR3 |
The Tired Technician#8073: so
The Tired Technician#8073: not the greatest
The Tired Technician#8073: but it has a lot of it
DarknessFalls229#2286: depends on what you need it for really
DarknessFalls229#2286: i dont suppose youd need 96GB for gaming
The Tired Technician#8073: could install windows 7 on the memory
The Tired Technician#8073: naw thats my video editing rig
The Tired Technician#8073: used to be a mass storage server
The Tired Technician#8073: installed all 12 slots with 16gb sticks
The Tired Technician#8073: 6 slots
The Tired Technician#8073: scuze me
The United Earth citizen#0382: i've got a question
how bad are actually the black spots on amoleds?
Especially with those defective screens sold on Aliexpress
Like, how do they correlate with the screen's will to exist? How long will it live? |
Racey#8574: If an AMOLED screen has black spots then it likely was cracked and/or shattered deeply
Racey#8574: And oxygen was able to make it into the screen
Racey#8574: They don't effect the screen's lifespan or anything
Racey#8574: It's just those spots are now full of dead pixels
The United Earth citizen#0382: So given i don't bend the phone and don't crack the screen, it should not spread?
Racey#8574: If you manage to replace the top layer of glass only then there shouldn't be any more oxygen making contact with the OLED
The United Earth citizen#0382: those screens from Ali are just factory-defective, the glass is intact
Racey#8574: They did a bad job with creating those screens
Racey#8574: Yeah it should be okay and no further damage should happen to the screen if you don't crack the glass
The United Earth citizen#0382: eh, i mean, Galaxy Note is a complex device, it's kind of a given they'd have some defective parts
JustinXenyx#8854: generally speaking, those black spots tend to indicate that the screen suffered a manufacturing defect
JustinXenyx#8854: I would neither not worry about it nor cautiously check such a screen every 5 minutes, but i'd keep an eye out for it
The United Earth citizen#0382: that's kinda the point tho since they cost anywhere from 10 to 40 bucks instead of 250
JustinXenyx#8854: I'll put it this way: Usually they're cheap enough to justify buying
The United Earth citizen#0382: other option is to get a screen with a line and assembled to frame |
The United Earth citizen#0382: Is it possible for the pen to stop working with this kind of damage to the screen? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/841713107649822780/DSC_0073.JPG,https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/841713108749123595/DSC_0074.JPG

D.D.M#8226: ye the pen will stop if its seriously cracked
D.D.M#8226: speaking from experience
DarknessFalls229#2286: @"Cobs" i got a pair of questions for ya.
Is there a reason why the first CPU is so much hotter than the second?
Whats the maximum operating temperature for FB-DIMMs? Mine are reacing the the 70's https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/842074664612397106/20210512_163833.jpg |
"Cobs"#1150: 1. airflow (typically)
2. 100c usually, check the dimms online though, its usual for them to run toasty, they have big heatsinks for a reason!
DarknessFalls229#2286: Really, airflow? wouldnt think it'd be that when im running it with the sidepanel off as its a tower case.
Then id be pretty decent with 70C for the dimms
"Cobs"#1150: idk what your setup is like but xeons typically in the servers will have an array of fans at the front, then the mobo would be laid out like 'dimm slots, CPU, dimm slots, dimm slots, CPU, dimm slots'
"Cobs"#1150: that way the front fans would push air through the lot equally in one go
DarknessFalls229#2286: This is the pc https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/842093706462625832/20210511_171809.jpg
DarknessFalls229#2286: top CPU seems to be the one thats 20C higher for some reason
DarknessFalls229#2286: also this be a pic b4 i cleaned it
DarknessFalls229#2286: before i cleaned it CPU 1 reached -26C and CPU 2 did like 82C
"Cobs"#1150: hmmm that is odd
"Cobs"#1150: fresh thermal paste and properly applied heatsink?
DarknessFalls229#2286: yes and maybe?
"Cobs"#1150: ill be dead honest though, i'm not seeing much airflow
"Cobs"#1150: sidepanel off or not |
"Cobs"#1150: theres no like throughput
DarknessFalls229#2286: yeah airflow is nonexistant right now bar from the tiny top fan and rear 120 mm
DarknessFalls229#2286: but that shouldnt cause a 20C difference between CPUs
"Cobs"#1150: true yeah
"Cobs"#1150: thats what makes me wonder if the heatsink is slightly uneven or something
DarknessFalls229#2286: though i do feel like these intel coolers dont do enough pressure
"Cobs"#1150: have you tried swapping the cpus to see if it follows the cpu/cooler?
DarknessFalls229#2286: tried swapping cooler, that didnt help, my next bet was indeed swapping the CPUs
DarknessFalls229#2286: btw
DarknessFalls229#2286: why is it always intel coolers that are so shitty?
DarknessFalls229#2286: sure its solid copper
DarknessFalls229#2286: but this feels just naw
DarknessFalls229#2286: at least they dont have push pins
DarknessFalls229#2286: i guess ill check in a bit if swapping CPUs helps
FuckinReece#0021: rock soul memory? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/842109523044466773/unknown.png |
FuckinReece#0021: Anybody have an am3+ motherboard they are willing to part with in the states
FuckinReece#0021: A friend really needs it and I’m willing to pay
NecroFlex#9105: broken temp sensor. If you really want to see if it's overheating in this case, get one of those external flat temp probes and put it slightly between the CPU and heatsink.
DarknessFalls229#2286: well it only did -26 after it went above 100C
DarknessFalls229#2286: so -25 should be 101C and -26 should be 102C
NecroFlex#9105: that's not how it works, it shouldn't just dip the temps like that at all
NecroFlex#9105: do the heatinks get warm at all? How fast does the temp rise? few min or few seconds?
Bae#4506: my gtx970 has only 1 working dp port why?
Alcyone#2233: @FuckinReece I have a 990FX sabertooth, I would want like $95 shipped though https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/842401219657859082/unknown.png

Alcyone#2233: you should state a budget.
FuckinReece#0021: sorry i was looking around the 20 to 30 dollar range
FuckinReece#0021: and i was also looking to see if i can find someone who would be willing to take payment with a steam item or a steam game
FuckinReece#0021: possibly and amazon giftcard
Dogecode#7321: does it _have_ to be am3+ |
Ive got an lga1155 board I might consider parting with
Dogecode#7321: but it probably wouldn’t go at that low of a price, especially not if you need the cpu/ram with it
FuckinReece#0021: its gotta be am3+ i appreciate it though
FuckinReece#0021: also yeah its gotta be that low because im doing this as a gift
FuckinReece#0021: its not mine
FuckinReece#0021: its for a friend
D.D.M#8226: i doubt you would find a mobo at that price range cus of the current situation and just am3+ in general
DarknessFalls229#2286: Well, there exist some cheap ass AM3+ boards, but the somewhat better ones are prolly more expensive. I dont have AM3+ anymore so i cant help anyway
LolBroek#5470: Since I wanted to reinstall xp for 2nd since kinda screwed the oobe and activation program + since I used a key from the web the 1st time. is possible to use my oem key on a retail version.

LolBroek#5470: Do I have to find a generic oem disk If that's a thing . Or do I sadly have to use a key thats on the internet
D.D.M#8226: i think you should just find a key online
LolBroek#5470: And the activation issue
LolBroek#5470: That's why I did a 2nd reinstallation in the first place
LolBroek#5470: NVM got it activated
LolBroek#5470: Quess the Belgian toll free number still works although i did trough a link. And filled in the code on my phone and laptop |
DarknessFalls229#2286: @"Cobs" swapped the CPUs, now the CPU in socket 1 is 10C hotter than the other socket rather than 20C. Weird but an improvement
"Cobs"#1150: That is so weird

The United Earth citizen#0382: guys, i need some statistics here
Those who used any of Samsung's flagships from S6/Note 5 and up over a year without a case, did you have the back glass partially detach or completely fall off?
If so, please specify your region
Muse#0557: Really looking for a needle in a haystack there bud
D.D.M#8226: Wdym the back glass falling off?
D.D.M#8226: From like very tight cases
D.D.M#8226: Or the sheer vacuum on some?
D.D.M#8226: My parents had the s6 edge european models and they switched cases 2 3 times i think
The United Earth citizen#0382: just adhesive on the back glass of the phone refuses to hold it anymore |
D.D.M#8226: Huh
The United Earth citizen#0382: and i asked about carrying the phone without a case at all
D.D.M#8226: They used their s6s quite heavily
The United Earth citizen#0382: from my collection i had at least 4 phones do that, plus a lot of those that i repaired had the same issue. And it is Samsung-specific
D.D.M#8226: But still no
D.D.M#8226: But still quite odd
DarknessFalls229#2286: do you always use no case at all?
The United Earth citizen#0382: yes
DarknessFalls229#2286: why not some super slim case like i use on my note9, thus it still has the back plastic protective film
D.D.M#8226: ^^
D.D.M#8226: And probs they were used in hot environments
D.D.M#8226: Like getting left in direct sunlight
DarknessFalls229#2286: or leaving it in the fireplace
D.D.M#8226: Only issue from what ive seen
D.D.M#8226: Between the s6 and s7 edges is that the edge itself is fragile |
The United Earth citizen#0382: because it ruins the whole point of engineering effort and lacks any satisfying tactile feel?
DarknessFalls229#2286: what?
D.D.M#8226: The feel of holding it raw
D.D.M#8226: :Peter:
DarknessFalls229#2286: if you mean that the buttons are covered, mine arent
The United Earth citizen#0382: not onlly buttons, but also the feel from materials themselves
DarknessFalls229#2286: i guess...?
D.D.M#8226: And i forgot to mention my mum did use it without a case for abt a month and survived a drop
DarknessFalls229#2286: i once dropped my s6 with the case and broke the glass of my camera
DarknessFalls229#2286: dont fucking know how in the hell i did that
The United Earth citizen#0382: my friend also had a borked S8 used as a GPS unit, back popped off too
DarknessFalls229#2286: the hell yall doing that
DarknessFalls229#2286: teach me, i need to replace my s6's battery
D.D.M#8226: I think its probs leaving it on direct sunlight
D.D.M#8226: Nothing much |
D.D.M#8226: If your friend used it as a gps unit in a car maybe
The United Earth citizen#0382: he has a vent holder for it
DarknessFalls229#2286: does it attach to the back or clip to the sides?
The United Earth citizen#0382: and since it's smashed and not worth much anyways he just superglued the glass back on
D.D.M#8226: Oof
D.D.M#8226: Thats
The United Earth citizen#0382: later
DarknessFalls229#2286: oh ok bye
The United Earth citizen#0382: i meant it's attached to sides
DarknessFalls229#2286: ah alright
DarknessFalls229#2286: no real reason to have its back detach then
The United Earth citizen#0382: yea, that's phone cruelty, i know. And i told him that. Didn't listen
D.D.M#8226: Welp his choice
The United Earth citizen#0382: my only explaination then is that the adhesive supplied with units for russian market is crap
D.D.M#8226: But i have never heard of anyone having their galaxy s phones with a back glass fall off |
D.D.M#8226: I know a friend that shattered the entire back of his s7
DarknessFalls229#2286: perhaps yeah, never heard of it here either
D.D.M#8226: And he didn't peel off the class and instead used a case
DarknessFalls229#2286: classy
The United Earth citizen#0382: i literally have a Note 9 and S7 on my hands now with the back that fully detached itself
D.D.M#8226: Bruh that odd
D.D.M#8226: From what i know
D.D.M#8226: Russia also got the European models of the phones
D.D.M#8226: So
The United Earth citizen#0382: it passed additional local testing tho
The United Earth citizen#0382: that might be an issue
D.D.M#8226: Unless i am wrong, probs they were used in hot environments
D.D.M#8226: The note 9 from my knowledge got real hot under stress
The United Earth citizen#0382: *give me back the clip-on covers or at least what HTC did with One series*
this was so much easier, i swear |
D.D.M#8226: Clip on covers?
D.D.M#8226: You mean
D.D.M#8226: The ones with a removable battery
The United Earth citizen#0382: yup
D.D.M#8226: Ah
D.D.M#8226: Good times
The United Earth citizen#0382: well if sustained 35С on frame is "hot" then yes, this is the reason
The United Earth citizen#0382: although i remember when my S7 Edge still was colored as "quicksilver", not only the adhesive gave way, but also the paint itself started detaching from the glass for some reason
D.D.M#8226: Odd
D.D.M#8226: Well not really but
The United Earth citizen#0382: and yes, when the time came to change the display, i simply put the phone's guts into a midnight green or however the hell this greenish blue color was called frame with respective screen and back
D.D.M#8226: Hmm noice
The United Earth citizen#0382: @D.D.M actually now that i think about it
can it be the result of a warped frame after several falls?
D.D.M#8226: Hmm |
D.D.M#8226: I dont think so
D.D.M#8226: Unless you apply a large amount of force yeah
D.D.M#8226: But from heat i think it would be highly unlikely
The United Earth citizen#0382: *interesing*
D.D.M#8226: Because the frame is stainless steel from my knowledge
D.D.M#8226: And so it shouldn't warp
The United Earth citizen#0382: With Samsung it's aluminium
The United Earth citizen#0382: i won't say it's soft, but it *can* bend
D.D.M#8226: Oh
D.D.M#8226: Ye but with many components
D.D.M#8226: Glass
D.D.M#8226: It would still take some force
The United Earth citizen#0382: Apple started doing stainless steel thing with X and up and Huawei tried it with Mate 20 Pro
The United Earth citizen#0382: otherwise everybody uses alu with additives

JustinXenyx#8854: 2 things: That PSU makes me cringe inside and try to get some supports for that desk so that it doesn't bend in like that @FuckinReece
FuckinReece#0021: im planning on just getting a new desk
FuckinReece#0021: also the psu is from 2001
FuckinReece#0021: and is reliable enough
JustinXenyx#8854: that's a straight up contradiction
JustinXenyx#8854: a PSU that's 20 years old is never reliable enough to be trusted
JustinXenyx#8854: these things degrade people
FuckinReece#0021: its out lived 2 80 plus bronze psu's
FuckinReece#0021: and powered atleast 4 computers before this one
JustinXenyx#8854: That doesn't particularly give me any sort of trust towards it either
JustinXenyx#8854: hell it only says it has 18A on the 12V line
JustinXenyx#8854: how will it power a GPU that could theoretically draw 225W on its own at load?
FuckinReece#0021: its also only got the 20 pin
FuckinReece#0021: it does power it under full load |
JustinXenyx#8854: *that just makes it even WORSE*
JustinXenyx#8854: that GPU should not run according to that PSUs own labeling
FuckinReece#0021: what gpu do you even think it is
JustinXenyx#8854: oh wait
JustinXenyx#8854: aren't you the same guy that wanted to flash a 7870 to a 270x?
JustinXenyx#8854: so that'll probably be a 7870
FuckinReece#0021: no still a 7870
FuckinReece#0021: but yes
JustinXenyx#8854: yeah i fixed it, typo
FuckinReece#0021: yeah
FuckinReece#0021: no but its proved its worth
FuckinReece#0021: if it wanted to die it would have already
FuckinReece#0021: also it does not push enough power to power the crt
FuckinReece#0021: and that is the only psu i have
JustinXenyx#8854: all i'm saying is, i wouldn't particularly try to rely on that PSU and that it could fail unexpectedly |
JustinXenyx#8854: if it runs currently then hey it runs, but i definitely wouldn't call it optimal or reliable
FuckinReece#0021: yeah i know but i do appreciate it
FuckinReece#0021: yeah
FuckinReece#0021: but it works better than the both 80 plus gold and silver at the same time 800w my friend bought off amazon
FuckinReece#0021: and then gave to me to put in his pc
FuckinReece#0021: that also had a comically large green switch at the back
FuckinReece#0021: and that also smelled like an exploded battery
FuckinReece#0021: https://www.ebay.com/itm/353496104054?epid=20027056593&hash=item524e027c76:g:HGcAAOSwEfZgjhnj
FuckinReece#0021: hmm should i go for this
JustinXenyx#8854: nah smart PSUs are pretty dogshit
FuckinReece#0021: i mean its only like 30 dollars with shipping
JustinXenyx#8854: i didn't know they sold bombs this cheap
JustinXenyx#8854: :haha:
FuckinReece#0021: dude people are practically throwing them away i mean look at the okia
D.D.M#8226: Bombs |
D.D.M#8226: I just go with brand new psus
D.D.M#8226: As i dont like taking risks
DarknessFalls229#2286: nobody gonna talk about that AIO placement??
Muse#0557: For a reason?
JustinXenyx#8854: I didn't realize that was an AIO lmao
JustinXenyx#8854: sure i can see the fan, but plenty of people have airflow with their hard drives
RyuuKuro#7616: Does rx 5000 6000 series still has the driver problem
The United States Air Force#7904: My tt smart 700w hasn't blown up yet
FuckinReece#0021: nor has my sketchy 500w
Sony PS-FL77#3627: I only use PSUs that are 13+
The United States Air Force#7904: Years?
Sony PS-FL77#3627: No moons
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Yes years
D.D.M#8226: bruh
D.D.M#8226: thats a fire hazard |
D.D.M#8226: in my book
Sony PS-FL77#3627: I mean the 2007 one is modern by my standards
D.D.M#8226: ¯\\_(ツ)\_/¯
FuckinReece#0021: Same
Sony PS-FL77#3627: With a 3700x? Ohh ballsy
Flannel84#2980: Can someone explain to me why my second monitor will not work with display port? I have native displayport from my rtx 2070 running to a Dell e2216h and it will not detect the output and my PC itself can't even detect the monitor. The monitor and it's screen seems to work just fine though.
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Perhaps a broken display port on the screen? Though I suppose you've already tested it from a separate source
Flannel84#2980: I actually haven't tested it as I don't have a second display port source. I have tested each port on my GPU with no luck; but I have a second identical model monitor displaying the exact same issue where it won't detect the displayport signal.
D.D.M#8226: Hey guys so a friends pc has an issue where whenever there are two things plugged in the sata 3 ports (2 ports) and then 1 in the sata 2, both windows and linux mint freak out and completely stop responding, and same thing if there is 1 thing plugged in the sata 3 and 3 things sata 2
D.D.M#8226: Any ideas?
D.D.M#8226: Sata cables are fine, bios recently flashed to latest version, and connectors are clean
FuckinReece#0021: I’m trying to get a faulty Sk hynix ssd to be rma’d
FuckinReece#0021: I have full proof it’s within the warranty Period yet they don’t have a section on the site for proper returns
Lady Mipha#0611: have you tried a different cable
Flannel84#2980: @Lady Mipha waiting for a new one to show up so not yet |
D.D.M#8226: Anybody?
Grockle#7163: I'd guess something funky with the sata controllers but idk
D.D.M#8226: probably yeah or either the hard drives are funky
D.D.M#8226: they arent too old
D.D.M#8226: 1 is from like 2014 and the other is like 2015 16
D.D.M#8226: and the boot drive is an ssd
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: @D.D.M What is the board model?

Foxious#1859: apologies
D.D.M#8226: gaz lol
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Have you tested the drives on a different PC
D.D.M#8226: yep they work just fine

Grockle#7163: hmm. yes. geaphic card
D.D.M#8226: Lol
Deleted User#0000: lol
Deleted User#0000: I found this yesterday. it came with a dreadfull celeron D 336 and 512MB of ddr2 https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/844347728078962718/photo_2021-05-18_20-08-03.jpg
Deleted User#0000: I already cleaned it, and replaced that cpu for a celeron dual core e1200 and upgraded the ram to 2GB, all it needs now is an installation of Lubuntu
Dogecode#7321: why not a pentium D
would probably wipe the floor with even that upgraded celeron
if it supports core 2 duo that’d be even better but I doubt that board will
Deleted User#0000: it does support some older core 2 duos, I don't have any unfortunately
Deleted User#0000: I want to avoid using a pentium D as those cpus are quite hot, besides, I could overclock the celeron since the board does support that feature
Deleted User#0000: I'm installing lubuntu on it at the moment
Dogecode#7321: nice
Dogecode#7321: would still recommend dropping the 3-5 quid it would take to get a core 2 duo for it, but that celeron might also overclock nicely
Flannel84#2980: Alright so update on my e2216h Dell monitor. New Display port cable does not provide a signal either. The screen itself is fully functioning but it will not pickup a signal from my MSI RTX 2070 or even show up as a detectable monitor. |
Flannel84#2980: A new graphics driver has also given zero change.
The United States Air Force#7904: Cexy
The United States Air Force#7904: Try using the celeron Disaster
Foxious#1859: Nice one, i need to start using that myself
The United States Air Force#7904: Lol
Deleted User#0000: Lubuntu refused to install for some reason, the same thing happended with peppermint OS
Deleted User#0000: I also tried a diferent cpu, a diferent hard drive and I ran a memory test, and nothing
Deleted User#0000: So yeah, I'm running out of choises here
Dogecode#7321: what happened
it just freeze during install
Deleted User#0000: No, it just never installed at all, it kept loading and loading
Deleted User#0000: Mmm hang on
Dogecode#7321: idk then
Ive found linux can be really picky with what it works on, especially with desktops
Deleted User#0000: I'm going to use a diferent sata cable, the one I have is slightly broken in one end |
Dogecode#7321: i was having similar problems on a core 2 quad with ubuntu, it would get to various points in the install and then just crash
Dogecode#7321: like the whole system locked up and has to be hard reset
Deleted User#0000: Oh... Thats weird
Dogecode#7321: windows 10 installed fine
Dogecode#7321: 🤷♂️
Dogecode#7321: ive had better luck with laptops but the desktops I’ve tried getting linux on have all been hit or miss
Deleted User#0000: Maybe I should install Linux in another computer and then put it on that computer
Dogecode#7321: see if the new sata cable works
Deleted User#0000: Yeah, thanks for your help
Flannel84#2980: Well I guess my monitor just doesn't support the newest displayport standard? It won't work with a RTX 2070, but it does work with a GTX 1060.
Racey#8574: Displayport should be backwards compatible with older standards
Flannel84#2980: That's what I thought, but none of the ports on my 2070 gave it a display output, but my old gtx 1060 did. My only thought is that while the GPU may be backwards compatible somehow the monitor is unable to use the new standard? It makes no sense yet in testing is the only thing that made sense/worked.
Dogecode#7321: is there a setting to change the displayport version of the monitor
Flannel84#2980: I'll need to check since I got it actually to work. Prior all I could do was select VGA or DP
Flannel84#2980: What are ways that I can get more stability while overclocking this P4? I can (at best) get .1 ghz overclock before crashing occurs. It is also overclocking my ram, so could that also potentially be a cause that I need to address? |
Flannel84#2980: I previously had been using an ancient 400 watt PSU but I upgraded it to a 500 watt EVGA 80+ Bronze PSU so I don't think it is PSU related.
Foxious#1859: what i would do (im not an expert):
Make sure that the VRM's are cooled
Make sure that the P4 is running cool enough
Make sure that your motherboard is not a piece of crap.
And lastly, i would get a few other examples of the same cpu, considering that some of them could clock well due to different usage and the silicone lottery
Flannel84#2980: I am kind of thinking that it may be the CPU, but it is semi rare and they cost between 30 to 80 dollars US a piece and are hard to find. But everything should be cooled well. It has a fairly modern style heat-pipe cooler, a super high flow front fan, and the side panel is off currently.
Foxious#1859: Just remember that if you have a tower style cooler and you have great intake fans
Foxious#1859: it may be better sometimes to keep to side panel on
Foxious#1859: to steer the airflow towards the finstack
FuckinReece#0021: The motherboard on my computer died while I was trying to revert the bios back to stock
FuckinReece#0021: I had it on a gold 600w thermal take psu too
FuckinReece#0021: Also yes i tested it and it’s not the psu either
Dogecode#7321: F
FuckinReece#0021: well its fixed now |
FuckinReece#0021: was just a bios problem
FuckinReece#0021: i think i still am going to look at for a new motherboard and cpu combo
Dogecode#7321: they arent being scalped bad rn afaik
Dogecode#7321: just the gpus mainly
FuckinReece#0021: well im looking for older intel stuff like a first gen i7
Tinybox#9112: 15 euros yea or nah? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/845361358036140032/unknown.png
Tinybox#9112: @JustinXenyx seems good to me if im honest
JustinXenyx#8854: the runtime and turn-on cycles are actually fairly reasonable, but that price is a little low even for a SATA SSD @Tinybox
Tinybox#9112: alr
D.D.M#8226: I mean
D.D.M#8226: I would go for it
D.D.M#8226: But idk
FuckinReece#0021: Don’t put anything important on it had an ssd with less than a years worth of usage that I bought brand new die on me like just the other day

The United States Air Force#7904: So why would a motherboard have power but not power on?
The United States Air Force#7904: Like it tries to but as soon as the fan jolts it dies
Dogecode#7321: idk
i had a board do that too
LED came on, but nothing happened when you pushed the power button
Dogecode#7321: I think mine succumbed to the capacitor plague since they look pretty rough on it
The United States Air Force#7904: Hm
The United States Air Force#7904: Mine came after the capacitor plague
The United States Air Force#7904: And the caps don't look all too baf

The United States Air Force#7904: Also it previously powered on but did not post

The United States Air Force#7904: Yeah I said there is a led that shows it's getting power |
The United States Air Force#7904: Also the fans spin up for like half a second then stop

Lady Mipha#0611: that buzzer would be great right now
The United States Air Force#7904: looking for the model #'
The United States Air Force#7904: may not since it has a good cpu and good ram
The United States Air Force#7904: so prolly will cancel return or attempt to ask for a partial refund or smth
Dogecode#7321: ye
The United States Air Force#7904: still got till june 8 to ship
The United States Air Force#7904: but I wanna keep it cuz phenom x3
The United States Air Force#7904: ASUS M3N72-D ok this is the boards model #
Dogecode#7321: youre sure the ram and cpu are actually working |
Lady Mipha#0611: ^^^
The United States Air Force#7904: imma check ram
The United States Air Force#7904: i cant check cpu as all my am2+ mobos are dead
The United States Air Force#7904: actually wait I got a shitty am2+ compaq
The United States Air Force#7904: si maybe I can test ram + cpu in that lmao
Dogecode#7321: also does that have igpu
since you probably need a graphics card
Dogecode#7321: i dont think it does unless the motherboard has one embedded
The United States Air Force#7904: I think so as the mobo had an hdmi port
The United States Air Force#7904: and am2+ cpus dont have igpus
The United States Air Force#7904: its the mobo
Dogecode#7321: no they do not
The United States Air Force#7904: ye mobos used to have em
The United States Air Force#7904: wish mobos still had igpus
The United States Air Force#7904: saved space on the cpu prob idk |
Dogecode#7321: ^ would be nice
Dogecode#7321: but now quite a few cpus have em so I guess motherboards just dropped it
The United States Air Force#7904: ye
Lady Mipha#0611: ye
The United States Air Force#7904: unfortunate tbh
Dogecode#7321: plus
its so easy to just get a cheap display adapter now
Dogecode#7321: so there's no real point
The United States Air Force#7904: like they coulda also given dedicated memory too
The United States Air Force#7904: true
Dogecode#7321: back then it was a bigger deal since all pcie gpus were relatively new and still probably wouldve been expensive
Dogecode#7321: but now you can get something that outputs a display for like 5 or 10 usd
The United States Air Force#7904: true
The United States Air Force#7904: well not 5 anymore
The United States Air Force#7904: easily sadly |
The United States Air Force#7904: unless you wanna use dms-59
The United States Air Force#7904: lmao
Dogecode#7321: true
The United States Air Force#7904: pci-e and dvi options are more $5-$20
Dogecode#7321: not even that, the hd 3450 which was the lowest cost option has hiked in price to like 6-8 dollars now
Dogecode#7321: unless you manage to find a deal
The United States Air Force#7904: ikr december of last year I got 2 quadro fx 380s for a grand total of $1.06 with free shipping
The United States Air Force#7904: now umm
The United States Air Force#7904: each can go for like $10 each
The United States Air Force#7904: lmao
The United States Air Force#7904: so technically the quadros were 53 cents each
The United States Air Force#7904: cheapest gpu I got off ebay lmao
The United States Air Force#7904: well gpu bundle
Dogecode#7321: i almost got a couple of quadro fx 580s last year at some point for like $12
but the seller managed to break one of em when they went to ship so they refunded me |
The United States Air Force#7904: I thought it was 1 gpu but it was 2
The United States Air Force#7904: so he did not ship em?
Dogecode#7321: no he gave the money back
The United States Air Force#7904: oh
The United States Air Force#7904: I have an fx 580 too not a bad card
The United States Air Force#7904: basically like a 9500gt or smth idk
The United States Air Force#7904: with worse drivers
The United States Air Force#7904: also they technically had dx11 support but really it could not be utilized in games
The United States Air Force#7904: very unfortunate tbh
Dogecode#7321: put an offer on another hd 4850
hopefully they'll take it since if I had that I could crossfire them
The United States Air Force#7904: nice
Dogecode#7321: even have a crossfire motherboard, would just need to pick up a bridge
The United States Air Force#7904: tbh I gotta make the 6950 crossfire video
Dogecode#7321: it's a 1GB model too so no vram would get lost |
The United States Air Force#7904: rn I got like 6 ot 7 crossfire capable boards but only 2 work :/
Dogecode#7321: the one I have is also 1gb
The United States Air Force#7904: the 2 that work are new, z170 and z270 lmao
Dogecode#7321: not the same exact 4850 but I dont think that matters iirc
The United States Air Force#7904: I need to see whats wrong with the 990fx and those 2 am2 boards
The United States Air Force#7904: ye prolly not
The United States Air Force#7904: maybe the specific die model
The United States Air Force#7904: and like revision if there are revisions
Dogecode#7321: hopefully the fact that mine seems to be an OEM revision or something won't cause any issues
The United States Air Force#7904: hmm
The United States Air Force#7904: hopefully
The United States Air Force#7904: also wonder if its possible to sli a gts 250 with a 9800gtx+
Dogecode#7321: but it does have the crossfire connectors on it so id assume its normal
The United States Air Force#7904: since they are basically the same thing
The United States Air Force#7904: well not really actually |
Dogecode#7321: maybe if you flashed one with the other bios
The United States Air Force#7904: hmm ye true
Dogecode#7321: so it thinks theyre the same card
The United States Air Force#7904: also what would be best for a retro phenom build, crossfire 6950 2gb, gts 250 1gb, 9800gtx+ 512mb, or a 9800gt 512mb or a 7900gs 256mb.
The United States Air Force#7904: I have more
The United States Air Force#7904: but these are the most competent
The United States Air Force#7904: I got for the said time period
The United States Air Force#7904: 2007-2011
Dogecode#7321: with that x3 probably the 9800gtx+
Dogecode#7321: but if you wanted to get a top of the line phenom and everything might as well do the crossfire 6950s
The United States Air Force#7904: ye prolly debating whether I should take it outta the og packaging
Dogecode#7321: make a baller rig from 2010
The United States Air Force#7904: the 9800gtx+
The United States Air Force#7904: cuz like I got ton of hella good ddr2 now lmao
The United States Air Force#7904: and if I can fix one of the mobos, a high end am2+ mobo |
The United States Air Force#7904: thats an if, and I may try to get a phenom x6 if they do work
The United States Air Force#7904: idk I went from trying to get an ultimate core 2 quad system to getting the ultimate phenom system
The United States Air Force#7904: :Hahahahaha:
The United States Air Force#7904: Also legit idek how I got so many gpu choices now
The United States Air Force#7904: Like a year ago the best gpu I had from between 2007-2010 was an hd 4650 1gb
The United States Air Force#7904: 2011*
The United States Air Force#7904: Actually the 5450 1gb woulda been better cuz well dx11
The United States Air Force#7904: Yeah
Lady Mipha#0611: nah the 6450 1gb or the 7450 1gb
The United States Air Force#7904: It's ironic, I could build a baller 2007-2011 gamer pc if I had working mobo, or baller xp rig if I had good agp gpu, better than fx 5200
The United States Air Force#7904: What I had at the time lol
Lady Mipha#0611: I could do a baller xp rig if I had working components
The United States Air Force#7904: I mean now this is like a little over half 9f all my gpus atm https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/846551646602657851/20210520_215021.jpg
The United States Air Force#7904: That work
The United States Air Force#7904: Midnight gonna call me hoarder |
The United States Air Force#7904: Tbf if I sold all my excess gpus I could prolly buy another 1050ti at current market prices
Dogecode#7321: my most period correct rig would probably be my athlon 64 x2 5600+ and the radeon x1600
even then the gpu is a year older but it still probably wouldve been something somebody wouldve built back then
Dogecode#7321: either that or the pIII + radeon 9200 se
The United States Air Force#7904: Hmm
Lady Mipha#0611: mine would be a P4 2.8ghz and a FX5700Q
Dogecode#7321: those old radeons had nice copper heatsinks
Lady Mipha#0611: or a P4 2.8ghz and AGP 4650
The United States Air Force#7904: My period correct systems would be a p3 with 3dfx voodoo 3 2000
The United States Air Force#7904: P4 hp with pci geforce 6200 pci
The United States Air Force#7904: 512mb
The United States Air Force#7904: Q6600 shuttlebox with a 5450
Foxious#1859: I want to undervolt my 580
Foxious#1859: Budget told me to do it ages ago but this has gotten unbearable (the fans on this piece of shit powercolour gpu just blast on full soon as i open wt, even though it is in a Cooler Master HAF 912+, is very clean and is just 2 yars old)
Foxious#1859: Now i want to do it via afterburner, but dont know how much i should reduce the core voltage stat |
Foxious#1859: Apologies for the ping but this is releatively urgent @TheFifthAce (you are the only tech helper online rn)
Foxious#1859: (If somebody answers, please ping me)
TheFifthAce#4128: reduce it til it stops being stable
TheFifthAce#4128: :kirb:
Foxious#1859: eech
TheFifthAce#4128: put a lot on the card
TheFifthAce#4128: drop the voltage a little bit, wait a few minutes
TheFifthAce#4128: keep going til it does something funky, then go back up
Foxious#1859: annoyingly i lack proper benchmark software
Foxious#1859: i need to do it with wt
TheFifthAce#4128: unigine heaven is free
TheFifthAce#4128: https://benchmark.unigine.com/heaven
Foxious#1859: cheers
The Tired Technician#8073: 58 degrees C on idle
The Tired Technician#8073: hmm |
The Tired Technician#8073: interesting
The Tired Technician#8073: I feel my processor may be running a little hot
Foxious#1859: Could be worse, when i installed my intel stock cooler after repasting mine idled at 80c
Foxious#1859: that made me buy the Arctic esports cooler
Foxious#1859: atleast that thing can be installed after having been taken apart once
The Tired Technician#8073: Well I was just in Bios and I have a Pentium D. So. H o t
Foxious#1859: Ah yes
Cyber Dragon#2049: I have a serious question about a build.
Is a Sapphire HD 7770 OC 100% compatible with a Optiplex 755?
I'm trying to make something that will be as good as this: https://youtu.be/Fy5A1pqnWNQ
Grockle#7163: it will not likely fit as the 7770 is a full height GPU, and this system is only sized to accept half height cards as i recall
Cyber Dragon#2049: And There's no way around that right?
Grockle#7163: could cut holes in it
Cyber Dragon#2049: Not the worst idea.
Racey#8574: 1050 low profile and 1650 low profile GPUs exist but expenc and probably hard to find |
Cyber Dragon#2049: My budget is a mere 97 dollars so it's unfortunately the best I could get.
Hfz_Nbw#7377: does anyone here use Gigabyte B450M-S2H? i have a ryzen 5-1600 and want to find a cheap motherboard for my system
Dogecode#7321: depends which 755
there was a full size tower version (MT)
but no it will not fit in the SFF (DT) 755 without a riser and some finagling @Cyber Dragon
Dogecode#7321: not to mention that you'll need a better PSU than what comes with it
JustinXenyx#8854: there were some SFF 755s that could fit full-size GPUs, but those are hella rare now
Dogecode#7321: in any case you should probably opt for a newer Optiplex as the Optiplex 755 uses the LGA775 socket
Dogecode#7321: which is incredibly old and slow at this point and any compatible CPU you could install will be the bottleneck
D.D.M#8226: i think a friend of mine has that board though he uses a 1700x
D.D.M#8226: anyway decent board
Jazzzny#6861: they arent even that rare lmao
just overpriced
Jazzzny#6861: these days you really shouldnt get a core 2 series cpu
Jazzzny#6861: aim for 2nd or 3rd gen core i series |
Jazzzny#6861: so 390, 3010, 790, 7010, 990, 9010
JJphilly#6736: Having an issue with one of my Pentium 133 machines, I cannot seem to get my CD Drive to show up in the Bios, I have tried switching IDE cables and jumpers and nothing is working, however if I put in a win 95 boot disk it detects the cd-drive an even let's me install windows to the hard drive but once I restart the computer the cd-drive yet again is not detected and I am unable to finish installing windows. So am stuck on what to do to fix it.
D.D.M#8226: Probs the drive itself is not good, or the motherboard just doesn't like that specific drive
JJphilly#6736: Tried with a different drive and still didn't work, and also used the current drive in a different PC and it worked just fine
JJphilly#6736: So might just be the MOBO, but still dosen't explain why it worked with the boot disk and not in the BIOS
D.D.M#8226: Hmm odd
D.D.M#8226: Did you make sure its on slave if another drive is on before the cd drive?
JJphilly#6736: Yes i did, still nothing XD
JJphilly#6736: And its the only disk drive in the system
D.D.M#8226: odd
D.D.M#8226: hmm
D.D.M#8226: whats the name of the mobo?
LaeMat#0420: My brother is having display issues with a second monitor. The monitor works fine, but when plugged into HDMI, it doesn't display a signal on his RTX 2060 Super, yet displays one on my 1060. The HDMI port and cable aren't broken, as my own second monitor works fine on his 2060. His monitor uses DisplayPort, by the way.
LaeMat#0420: The 2060 picks it up as a second monitor but it doesn't have any signal.
LaeMat#0420: Plugging the HDMI into the main monitor works fine as well |
LaeMat#0420: is there any way i can fix this, or will he just need to buy a second monitor?
dexsters56#4904: Hello everyone! Anyone know a way to fix this ? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/849005716610351154/unknown.png
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: @dexsters56 What's the GPU in your PC right now? Or laptop?
DarknessFalls229#2286: If you know what the GPU is you can manually install the drivers downloaded from the manufacturers website, NVIDIA or AMD
dexsters56#4904: its a HD 7470m laptop gpu
dexsters56#4904: i did but no fix, later checked windows update and now as soon as the gpu drivers apply the scren goes black as if the gpu is dead
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Oh no
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: No no no
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: @dexsters56 It sounds like the GPU is a goner
dexsters56#4904: @Charlie Foxtrot possible. I tried to heatgun it back to life at 240c for 4min. And its sort of working. Its not crashing the system but as soon as windows loaded the missing driver things went down. And i remember that when i reinstalled windows a few months before the issue was fixed but now i dont know
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: In any case it's a temporary fix
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: To prolong it clean your heatsink and repaste the laptop with a good thermal paste
Dogecode#7321: is it an mxm gpu? Because you could simply replace it
Dogecode#7321: I think I got like a mxm 7570m iirc for like $10 not long ago
dexsters56#4904: Its soldered onto the board. I did change the thermal paste with gambird thermal conpound i think its good enough |
dexsters56#4904: I wanted to replace the mobo with the gpu on it but that costs i think 60-100 euro on aliexpress i think and even that is not reliable
hughes fan number 1#6171: i dont realyl know where to ask this but does anyone have places i can look for lpatops that have functioning filters in the uk? i just need a cheap laptop that can run davicinci resolve and be able to run microsoft edge
Dogecode#7321: gumtree or ebay
hughes fan number 1#6171: i want new though. its just because i use to by used but its never gone well
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: @hughes fan number 1 Overclockers UK, Ebuyers?
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: That's all I know anyway
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: A Ryzen 5 laptop will fit your criteria
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: Has 6c/12t for video editing and decent iGPU
Rea77y#6618: guys guys
Rea77y#6618: for anyone wondering in the future
Rea77y#6618: the way to fix 2tier memory fro ryzen
Rea77y#6618: is to give it 1.6v
Rea77y#6618: its solves the stupid crashing problem
Rea77y#6618: completley stable at d.o.c.p at 3800mhz
hughes fan number 1#6171: Yeah thanks. Ryzen 3 or core i3 would be good. The type of video editing I’m doing is davinci resolve which is a very light problem |
Charlie Foxtrot#9831: @hughes fan number 1 Get this baby:

NecroFlex#9105: Late reply, i'm guessing you tried fully reinstalling the drivers? Did you try manually selecting the input? DOes the motherboard have an iGPU? If so, that could be a solution for the 2nd monitor if the mobo has an option for using the iGPU for monitors when a dedicated GPU is connected.
LaeMat#0420: i did not try reinstalling drivers
the motherboard does not have an iGPU
i tried manually selecting the input and still no signal
NecroFlex#9105: try reinstalling the drivers first, use DDU to fully uninstall them, then reinstall the latest ones, preferably w/o being connected to the internet so that Shitdows 10 doesn't try anything stupid
hughes fan number 1#6171: Can’t afford but I’ll keep it in mind for future
D.D.M#8226: Is there a way to undervolt mobile ryzen cpus?
Grockle#7163: ryzen master maybe
hughes fan number 1#6171: i checked in ryzen master you can change its voltage but i dont think mobile chips are supported on ryzen master you'll have to check though
mi3night#2562: What’s your budget
mi3night#2562: If you want a cheap and cool laptop. Something like a 4500u laptop for under £400 will do fine |
mi3night#2562: Also used or new?
LaeMat#0420: I'll try that, if not, he'll just get a different monitor
D.D.M#8226: Ryzen master doesn't work it gives the unsupported cpu error
D.D.M#8226: And upon further searching mobile ryzens have locked voltage control
mi3night#2562: ryzen master hates my cpu for some reason
mi3night#2562: it corrupted my windows files. To test that, I installed a fresh copy of windows on my 2nd hdd, once i installed ryzen master, windows will be corrupted
mi3night#2562: i thought it was a motherboard fault, but with my new asus motherboard, it does the same thing
mi3night#2562: So I just gave up and did all the OC and undervolt in bios
D.D.M#8226: well my bios doesnt have that so oof
hughes fan number 1#6171: So I’m looking as cheap as possible I just want something, like the ryzen 3 or i3 for as cheap as possible. 8gb of ram ofocurse and 128gb ssd and I’ll see if I can upgrade it . New too
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Aim for Celeron if you want cheap
Sony PS-FL77#3627: It'll be slow, very, but it will work
Sony PS-FL77#3627: https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/hp-stream-11-ak0514sa-11-6-laptop-intel-celeron-64-gb-emmc-pink-10220612-pdt.html something like this would be HORRENDOUSLY slow, but it would work
Sony PS-FL77#3627: barely
Sony PS-FL77#3627: emmc is hell |
Sony PS-FL77#3627: but it has 4GB of ram and the 64GB is *barely* enough to just use windows and Edge
Sony PS-FL77#3627: (the pink is incidental you can probably find something similar in a diff colour)
Sony PS-FL77#3627: also you can manually disable windows 10 s so that doesn't matter
hughes fan number 1#6171: Yeah
hughes fan number 1#6171: I’m gonna find a different laptop
hughes fan number 1#6171: Never buying a HP again it’s been hurrendous
wiryfuture🦀#1706: those are unusable after two years
Sony PS-FL77#3627: I'm sat here typing this on a 5 year old Atom laptop
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Running windows 10
DarknessFalls229#2286: and how old is your thonkpoad?
Sony PS-FL77#3627: I don't own any anymore
Sony PS-FL77#3627: sold em all
DarknessFalls229#2286: wait both?
Sony PS-FL77#3627: but, the T61 was from 2007 and also worked decently
Sony PS-FL77#3627: was my secondary laptop and my daily whenever I went anywhere |
Sony PS-FL77#3627: yeah sold the T61 for way too little to my little brother
DarknessFalls229#2286: from what i could tell it was a pretty nice thinkpad
Sony PS-FL77#3627: It was awesome
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Pretty awesome spec too
Sony PS-FL77#3627: But Ii got a free macbook pro, which replacced the T61 in every task, at which point I would have to keep it for the sake of keeping it which just dinnae seem worth it
Sony PS-FL77#3627: And my MBP is from 2010 and also works fine
wiryfuture🦀#1706: AMD A6 laptop was a meme :haha:
Sony PS-FL77#3627: I feel like the 2w Atom X5 is even less powerful
Sony PS-FL77#3627: I got a whole 128GB of useless eMMC and a 1200p display
wiryfuture🦀#1706: you got eMMC?
Sony PS-FL77#3627: ye
DarknessFalls229#2286: wait
wiryfuture🦀#1706: I had like 500GB 5400rpm :crome:
DarknessFalls229#2286: 1200p?
Sony PS-FL77#3627: yee |
Sony PS-FL77#3627: 16:10
wiryfuture🦀#1706: 1280*720 oh yeah
DarknessFalls229#2286: isnt it wholefully underpowered for that res?
Sony PS-FL77#3627: nah absolutely not
DarknessFalls229#2286: id expect 1366x768 at that point
wiryfuture🦀#1706: 1024*768 clearly best res
Sony PS-FL77#3627: like for most productivity tasks an Atom X5 could easily push 4k
DarknessFalls229#2286: my damn dell ultrasharp testing display is 1200p
Sony PS-FL77#3627: this is my highest res screen I think
Sony PS-FL77#3627: depending on if you wanna count my 1920x1440p CRT as higher
Sony PS-FL77#3627: actually I suppose 1920x1440 is higher res than 1920x1200 lmao
Sony PS-FL77#3627: So yeah this Atom laptop is my seccond highest res screen, second only to my CRT at 1920x1440
DarknessFalls229#2286: my highest res screen is my apple cinema display thats 1440p
DarknessFalls229#2286: after which the 1200p screen
DarknessFalls229#2286: then just a couple of 1080p stuff |
Sony PS-FL77#3627: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/850378992108044298/unknown.png
DarknessFalls229#2286: wack
Sony PS-FL77#3627: also this thing is like 10"
Sony PS-FL77#3627: so pixel density is insane
DarknessFalls229#2286: still weird
Sony PS-FL77#3627: if you drop the scaling down to 100% it just becomes funny
hughes fan number 1#6171: wait
hughes fan number 1#6171: 1920x1200
hughes fan number 1#6171: on a atom
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Likre I usually run at 100% but this laptop is a bit dumb looking at 100% scaling lmao
DarknessFalls229#2286: late to the party?
hughes fan number 1#6171: no but
hughes fan number 1#6171: i cant really process it
Sony PS-FL77#3627: why not?
hughes fan number 1#6171: your 10" 1920x1200 atom laptop is a higher resolutoion than my monitor |
Sony PS-FL77#3627: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/93361/intel-atom-x5-z8350-processor-2m-cache-up-to-1-92-ghz.html
Sony PS-FL77#3627: that's my cpu btw
DarknessFalls229#2286: did you know that most phones are a higher resolution than a lot of 1080p displays?
hughes fan number 1#6171: my XR is definetly not
hughes fan number 1#6171: i dont really caer though
hughes fan number 1#6171: 720p on a 6.1" display is good
DarknessFalls229#2286: oh yeah, apple lags behind with res
DarknessFalls229#2286: for some odd reason
hughes fan number 1#6171: it doesnt really matter though
hughes fan number 1#6171: i dont see why
hughes fan number 1#6171: its small
DarknessFalls229#2286: i know that on such a small screen 1080p and 720p is fine
Sony PS-FL77#3627: also this laptop has 4GB of ram but the x5 can only utilise 2GB
Sony PS-FL77#3627: so idk lol
DarknessFalls229#2286: but still, apple being one of the biggest phone manu's |
hughes fan number 1#6171: also
hughes fan number 1#6171: Samsung galaxy a9 6.3 inch
DarknessFalls229#2286: wait
hughes fan number 1#6171: iPhone XR 6.1 inch
Sony PS-FL77#3627: yeah mine is lmao,, 21:9 1080p
hughes fan number 1#6171: i didnt notice a diffreence really between 1080p and 720
hughes fan number 1#6171: i dont care about it though
hughes fan number 1#6171: i think its a useless thing
hughes fan number 1#6171: like it aint gonna matter on a pocketable item
Sony PS-FL77#3627: I'mma put my scaling back up to 150
DarknessFalls229#2286: huh
Sony PS-FL77#3627: 100% is a lil too small at 10"
DarknessFalls229#2286: my note 9 has 6 GBs of ram
DarknessFalls229#2286: thats umm....
hughes fan number 1#6171: also you can say im wrong but idc. i used a samsung for 3 years and moved to apple its just better. |
DarknessFalls229#2286: more than my testbench sometimes
Sony PS-FL77#3627: my Xperia 10 has 4
hughes fan number 1#6171: App optimization is better on iphones for a very apparent reason
Sony PS-FL77#3627: bingo
hughes fan number 1#6171: so its why i moved
hughes fan number 1#6171: its just faster and i prefer the designs too
Sony PS-FL77#3627: hence why my phone, which is pretty massive, has 1080p, beause anything more is just a waste
hughes fan number 1#6171: i used a s20 fe
DarknessFalls229#2286: i just simple like my note9
DarknessFalls229#2286: pen
DarknessFalls229#2286: headphone jack

hughes fan number 1#6171: 1080p s20 fe and super amoled i think and i barely noticed a differnce up to my iphone xr
hughes fan number 1#6171: 120hz is useless on a phone too i think
Sony PS-FL77#3627: eh it depends |
DarknessFalls229#2286: nah high refresh is top
hughes fan number 1#6171: it was cool and smooth and that but it felt like a little change to me. most games are 60 capped and you arent gonna be watching 120fps videos on youtube
Sony PS-FL77#3627: I think that for the average consumer any phone over €600 new is dumb
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Like stupid af
hughes fan number 1#6171: i have an ipad air 4
hughes fan number 1#6171: and i tried the ipad pro m1 at currys
hughes fan number 1#6171: and the hz is definetly nicer
Sony PS-FL77#3627: My phone was from 2019,, I bought it in 2020 for €90
hughes fan number 1#6171: but i dont noticed much of a differnce on phone
Sony PS-FL77#3627: Sony Xperia 10 Plus
hughes fan number 1#6171: i could only noticed a massive diffrence on ipad air 4 and ipad pro
hughes fan number 1#6171: iphone xr to s20 fe i didnt feel any big change
mi3night#2562: so about $200?
mi3night#2562: also don't get a celeron laptop
hughes fan number 1#6171: Nah I’d say like 300 max 400 |
hughes fan number 1#6171: Yeah ik
hughes fan number 1#6171: Do you know how light dacinci resolve is for video editing
mi3night#2562: yeah ik
hughes fan number 1#6171: I just need something that can do that
mi3night#2562: is lenovo fine for you @hughes fan number 1

mi3night#2562: here
mi3night#2562: this laptop is a bit over your budget
mi3night#2562: but
mi3night#2562: it's got the NEWEST ryzen 5000 series apu
hughes fan number 1#6171: Ooh that is great
mi3night#2562: if you don't want to spend the extra 30 pounds, i can see why but this is great for the price
hughes fan number 1#6171: I s been thinking of going Lenovo thanks
hughes fan number 1#6171: Yeah ik
hughes fan number 1#6171: I might spend more money |
hughes fan number 1#6171: So thanks
mi3night#2562: yeah, that extra 30 pounds will get you far. Also keep in mind that you have to spend another 10 pounds because it only have 4gb of ram @hughes fan number 1
mi3night#2562: so you need another 4gb of ram for 8gb
hughes fan number 1#6171: Ik
hughes fan number 1#6171: I’m gonna look at more Lenovo laptops
hughes fan number 1#6171: Maybe increase budget to £500
hughes fan number 1#6171: Is there any other brands you know of that let you choose what you want
hughes fan number 1#6171: Instead of saying
hughes fan number 1#6171: I5 8gb ram
hughes fan number 1#6171: I7 16gb ram
hughes fan number 1#6171: Like they let you choose every individual thing
mi3night#2562: @hughes fan number 1 dell and hp does that but laptop supply is not that high in UK
mi3night#2562: what i say is to buy a laptop from USA if you know anyone from there to buy you one
mi3night#2562: /convert 500 usd gbp
Currency Converter Bot#4703: 500.0 USD = GBP 375.21 |
mi3night#2562: because of currency conversion, you save a lot of money
hughes fan number 1#6171: Yeah
hughes fan number 1#6171: Well I don’t know anyone sadly
mi3night#2562: yeah it's ok, just a suggestion
mi3night#2562: that's what i tell people from other country to do
hughes fan number 1#6171: Do you know why laptops have gone weird price
hughes fan number 1#6171: Like they’ve really changed
Muse#0557: Fuck buckets of people working from home
Muse#0557: Needing devices
hughes fan number 1#6171: Oh yeah
Muse#0557: And they are mostly business users so they don't want the cheap bollocks
hughes fan number 1#6171: I forget people working from home like my mum because I go to school
mi3night#2562: @hughes fan number 1 i looked at HP laptops and they're a bit overpriced
mi3night#2562: pav 15 is 620pounds with r5 4500u and envy x360 is 780 pounds for the same specs
mi3night#2562: @hughes fan number 1 is acer or asus good for you |
hughes fan number 1#6171: Either to be honest. HP and MSI are the brands I hate
hughes fan number 1#6171: ASUS I like most between ASUS and Acer
hughes fan number 1#6171: But acer is ok
mi3night#2562: @hughes fan number 1 if you want a laptop with good build quality, screen quality, battery life, and support
mi3night#2562: https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/microsoft-12-5-surface-laptop-go-intel-core-i5-128-gb-ssd-platinum-10214688-pdt.html
mi3night#2562: here's a surface laptop go
mi3night#2562: but it has a weaker 1035g1
mi3night#2562: https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/lenovo-ideapad-5-14-laptop-amd-ryzen-7-512-gb-ssd-platinum-grey-10207945-pdt.html
mi3night#2562: here's the best laptop spec/price
mi3night#2562: 4700u for the same price as the surface
mi3night#2562: the ryzen 7 will help a LOT in video editors
hughes fan number 1#6171: Yeah thanks
hughes fan number 1#6171: I’ve learnt me thinking I’ll get a surface book or laptop is good and Lenovo lets you customise stuffs
mi3night#2562: https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/lenovo-ideapad-5-14-laptop-amd-ryzen-5-256-gb-ssd-platinum-grey-10208021-pdt.html
mi3night#2562: here's the same laptop with 4500u. You lose 2 cpu cores and 1 gpu core but you save 100 pounds @hughes fan number 1 |
hughes fan number 1#6171: Thanks I’m gonna go have a look on Lenovo’s website now and stuff like that
hughes fan number 1#6171: I’ll come back and see if it’s a god choice
hughes fan number 1#6171: Good
mi3night#2562: yeah, look at currys and ebay too
mi3night#2562: ebay sometimes have new laptops for a good price
wiryfuture🦀#1706: get out of currys
Gamefreak924#5901: Going to be fixing a really really slow computer (takes about half an hour to load into Windows 7) and I recommended the owner upgrade to an SSD. Which SSD should I actually recommend though?
Gamefreak924#5901: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/pny-240gb-internal-sata-solid-state-drive/5900261.p?skuId=5900261
Or
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-860-evo-250gb-internal-sata-solid-state-drive/6178653.p?skuId=6178653
Gamefreak924#5901: I'm trying to save her the most money but give her a great performance boost to last for years
Dogecode#7321: > takes about half an hour to load into windows 7
Dogecode#7321: the amount of crapware that must be on that pc
Dogecode#7321: either that or the hard drive is on the very brink of death
Gamefreak924#5901: AVG, HP driver support, a full trash, Ccleaner from some previous dumb techy |
Dogecode#7321: i read some bad reviews about pny
Dogecode#7321: personally Ive used adata su800s in most of my average systems and they seem to work fine
Dogecode#7321: theyre usually cheaper than samsung drives
Gamefreak924#5901: She only really buys in-store and I'm not going to be around to do the shopping for her. Otherwise I'd link her one
The United States Air Force#7904: Samsung seems better
Gamefreak924#5901: Alrighty. I just have to find old DDR3 RAM now, but maybe I can send her some from my stockpile
Gamefreak924#5901: Thanks guys
Dogecode#7321: ive got tons of ddr3l, but most of it is useless because its only 1 or 2gb
Dogecode#7321: only have 2 4gb sticks
The United States Air Force#7904: Oof
Dogecode#7321: if only more laptops had 4 slots
The United States Air Force#7904: Lol ye
hughes fan number 1#6171: My Kingston a400 an WD BLue ssd. They were fairly cheap
hughes fan number 1#6171: @Gamefreak924 I’d say it’d be good going for Samsung if it’s long lasting
hughes fan number 1#6171: But I just got these to last long on the cheap |
DarknessFalls229#2286: ah the kingston A400, the most known failing SSD
Sony PS-FL77#3627: My main SSDs are both Intel I think
Sony PS-FL77#3627: One is 160GB from 2010 the other is the 1TB in my 2020 laptop
hughes fan number 1#6171: Yeah it’s worked ok for me but I definetly recommend my wd blue more
DarknessFalls229#2286: well, since i own 2 dead A400 sooooooo
hughes fan number 1#6171: I’ve had a good time with mine it hasn’t done anything funny
hughes fan number 1#6171: Don’t use it anymoeee as I upgraded
mi3night#2562: @DarknessFalls229 @hughes fan number 1 my friend’s A400 had important shit on it and it died on him
Foxious#1859: Not to forget that the A400 is incredibly slow
Foxious#1859: slower than most new-ish hard drives
Foxious#1859: when i installed CS:GO onto the 120gb A400, the game had way longer load times and awful stutter
Foxious#1859: When it had no problems on the WD blue
Foxious#1859: The reason why i still dont have a SSD
Foxious#1859: but when i get extra money i will prolly buy a Samsung Evo or some M.2
Gamefreak924#5901: Also how do I solve this on Windows 10 https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/850813075937689600/image0.jpg |
Gamefreak924#5901: I want to disable every single update task but it never lets me
Dogecode#7321: can you run as administrator
Gamefreak924#5901: How would I do that? The user account is already the admin
DarknessFalls229#2286: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/850813526213525554/unknown.png
Dogecode#7321: yes but you have to grant it privileges
Gamefreak924#5901: Did so, but no prompt to confirm admin privileges. It just opened and things remain the same
NFROST#2011: guys i have 2tb hardware and my windows laggs and im trying to use SSD so is it possible to get it on ssd?
DarknessFalls229#2286: if you have a 2TB HDD you can clone it onto an SSD indeed, but if the HDD is full you must require to clone it onto a 2TB SSD aswell, which can be a bit pricey
NFROST#2011: Like i just want to move only windows files on SSD
NFROST#2011: and keep everyting in HDD
DarknessFalls229#2286: ohh
NFROST#2011: its not full
DarknessFalls229#2286: @"Cobs" is that possible?
"Cobs"#1150: Not quite
"Cobs"#1150: You can move your user profiles and programs over to a HDD |
"Cobs"#1150: but, there will still be lots on the main OS drive
"Cobs"#1150: You can also move your page file, temporary directories over too.
NFROST#2011: then how do i fix my windows being really slow
"Cobs"#1150: If you're on a HDD, moving to an SSD
"Cobs"#1150: that or find your bottleneck, usually its because of hard drives being slower, but some older cpu's, low ram etc can all play a part.
NFROST#2011: yes i need to move HDD windows file into SSD
DarknessFalls229#2286: you can, without cloning, just do a fresh install onto the SSD, then assign documents, downloads, pics etc from the SSD to the HDD
DarknessFalls229#2286: but youd need to reinstall programs
"Cobs"#1150: As darkness said, you'll need to clone it using software such as CloneZilla, or other manufacturer provided ones like easeUS or WD Disk clone I think
"Cobs"#1150: alternatively you can fresh install windows onto the new drive, but again as darkness said, you'll have to reinstall everything
NFROST#2011: well i have alot of pictures on my pc i dont wanna lose them
Dogecode#7321: just make a backup
"Cobs"#1150: do you have enough slots for both SSD and HDD in your PC?
"Cobs"#1150: if you fresh install windows onto the SSD, nothing on the hard drive will be touched
Dogecode#7321: then copy back after you reinstall |
Dogecode#7321: also yes if you can have multiple drives you dont need to worry
NFROST#2011: my friend told me there is program for moving windows files
"Cobs"#1150: yes
"Cobs"#1150: acronis true image, easeus, clonezilla, etc
"Cobs"#1150: you'll need both drives plugged in at once.
RyuuKuro#7616: Guys i have a problem where my laptop freeze and crash when i try to launching games. Problem mostly occurs when i left the laptop idling for around 2-3 hours
Laptop model lenovo Y50 70
DarknessFalls229#2286: i recommend using display driver uninstaller in safe mode and then downloading and installing the latest display driver for your graphics processor
hughes fan number 1#6171: yeah mines not died. thankfully because ive got fairly importatn stuff on it good im not using it now
mi3night#2562: @hughes fan number 1 also for davinci, are you looking for raw horsepower or you want a good and all rounder laptops
hughes fan number 1#6171: I don’t know really
hughes fan number 1#6171: I just want a laptop that can do basic things
hughes fan number 1#6171: Like web stuff and Davinci
hughes fan number 1#6171: And just storing stuff |
mi3night#2562: fair because i saw a laptop with a 2060 in it on ebay uk. It's open box and never used
mi3night#2562: it's 700 pounds
mi3night#2562: quite a bit, but the specs are worth the price
mi3night#2562: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174786247486?hash=item28b2127b3e:g:cC4AAOSwEhhgs1VZ
mi3night#2562: you can literally ditch your main pc and used that for gaming
mi3night#2562: also damn ebay uk is lacking
Dogecode#7321: /convert 750 gbp usd
Currency Converter Bot#4703: 750.0 GBP = USD 999.45
Dogecode#7321: yeah that is a lot
Dogecode#7321: but for a laptop its still a good deal
Dogecode#7321: most gaming grade laptops are more
mi3night#2562: laptops are generally a LOT more expensive in UK than USA
Dogecode#7321: interesting
Dogecode#7321: but even in the USA thats not a bad deal
mi3night#2562: macbook air is $900 in USA but it's $1350 in UK |
Dogecode#7321: oof
mi3night#2562: because companies dont realize currency conversion exists
mi3night#2562: unless UK VAT is 35%
mi3night#2562: but no it's 20%
The United Earth citizen#0382: by chance does anybody have a 3d model of Galaxy Note 9's back cover?

The United States Air Force#7904: When im trying to install windows 10 on a laptop |
The United States Air Force#7904: With a 500gb ssd
The United States Air Force#7904: I looked for whether I can get it out of legacy mode but the bios is shit kn this laptop
DarknessFalls229#2286: provided you dont need the data on the laptop, you can prolly just delete the partition in the installer and make a new one
The United States Air Force#7904: I did that
The United States Air Force#7904: Like 4 times
DarknessFalls229#2286: oh
DarknessFalls229#2286: hm
