Go to your motherboard manual

Look for the motherboard connector

And match up those pins to the pin layout in the manual

What's your motherboard, I can point you in the right direction

[burnt swallow]

I found it

Where is my power led cable

Do I not have one

[potent arrow]

Does your power button have an led?

[burnt swallow]

There's a hole above it that I assume would be an led

[potent arrow]

Uh

Are you sure that's not the reset hole

Idk your case lol

[burnt swallow]

Idk if it is

Maybe

Possibly

Probably

[potent arrow]

I mean I offered

[burnt swallow]

I have a completely separate reset switch

No power led cable

[potent arrow]

I'll take me a second to sus everything out really

[burnt swallow]

I'm scared to set my case upright rn

[potent arrow]

Why

[burnt swallow]

Because

[potent arrow]

Are all the screws in?

[burnt swallow]

Who needs confidence

[potent arrow]

Lol

[burnt swallow]

For the mobo and my extra fucking fat GPU yeah

[potent arrow]

Yeah you goood

[burnt swallow]

I have no power led cable

So no power led I guess

There's like fucking ten all on the back

USB

HD AUDIO

[modest moss]

my mobo/case came with either a 'front panel' all in one bit, or an extra bit to do each thing singly

[potent arrow]

Not all cases have power leds

[burnt swallow]

One higher up marked rgb fan but I don't know if it's for the rgb on the fans or the fans themselves

Or both

[potent arrow]

Wait this is a p400??

[burnt swallow]

P400A Digital

[potent arrow]

OML IMMA JUST GO GET ONE IN THE BASEMENT AND CHECK

FFS

[burnt swallow]

Oh

You have this case

[modest moss]

Sarah has everything

Sarah's D&D alignment is Chaotic Awesome

[burnt swallow]

Mfw the usb cable doesn't fit through the bottom

[potent arrow]

There is no power led

I only see pwr rest and hdd led

the led on the button is HDD

[modest moss]

your alignment is Lawful Incompetent

[potent arrow]

fuck its cold in the basement

and now im standing on broken glass

[modest moss]

...

why is there broken glass

[burnt swallow]

USB cable

[potent arrow]

broken side panel

[burnt swallow]

Why are you this fucking fat

[potent arrow]

try getting it out

[modest moss]

why have you not cleaned it up though

[potent arrow]

thats when suffering happens

[potent arrow]

I think It dropped last night and only now im noticing

[burnt swallow]

What

[potent arrow]

Was a joke

[modest moss]

https://tenor.com/view/disappointment-disappointment-sigh-sigh-sad-regret-gif-17688444

[burnt swallow]

Finally

I have an HD AUDIO cable still

[potent arrow]

thats alot of glass

[burnt swallow]

Where does this go

[potent arrow]

same deal wiuth the front panel

look at your manual

its the same kind of connecter but none seperatable

[burnt swallow]

cries in lack of manual

[potent arrow]

google

what is your motherboard sir

Ill give it to you

[burnt swallow]

MSI Pro Z690-A

[potent arrow]

got it

[burnt swallow]

All I got is a quick install manual for the mobo

[potent arrow]

@burnt swallow

[burnt swallow]

This right here is what I need

[potent arrow]

idk what ice is doing lol

[burnt swallow]

Fucking quick guide doesn't have a layout of the mobo

[potent arrow]

not to toot my own horn, but this is literally what I do for money 👼 I know the sufferin

this is an interesting mobo...

Why are the sata 90degrees

have not seen that in a hot min

[burnt swallow]

Not using any sata cables anyways

Also

Are the fan cables separate from the rgb

Or are they one cable

[potent arrow]

like the fans that come with the case?

[burnt swallow]

Yeah

I gotta order exhaust fans

[potent arrow]

if they are rgb its one cable

[burnt swallow]

The front are all intake

They are

All three

[potent arrow]

should be 4pins

[burnt swallow]

There's three 4 pin connectors unlabeled and one labeled D-RGB FAN that's identical to one cable I have connected already

[potent arrow]

there you go

this

those are the rgb headers

@burnt swallow

dont plug into the others because they are 5v addressable not 12v

[burnt swallow]

Oh wait

This other cable has pins on it

It isn't a connector like the other cable

[potent arrow]

this one isnt 5v so dont use this

DRGB is 4v

there is a cable that says RGB thats 12v

we will get to that

let them build it first

[sly elk]

too bad the apa102 never caught on with computer parts

[potent arrow]

lmfao

[potent arrow]

mod

[sly elk]

i like the way they work

[potent arrow]

Kyanche I literall study it

: p brb I gotta finsih this fucking THESIS

[sly elk]

lol

[potent arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/desk-gif-21857082

[sly elk]

my original plan was to use those in my computer and just use a pi zero to drive them

[burnt swallow]

Does it matter which JRAINBOW thing I plug my RGB header into

Actually never mind

It's all the way at the bottom of the case anyways

[sly elk]

just don't plug a 12v into a 5v or vice versa

[potent arrow]

^

Hrainbow == 5V

RGb == 12v

[sly elk]

both the cable and the socket are very well labeled

[potent arrow]

idk FUCKING know why they do it like that

[sly elk]

cuz it's cheaper

[potent arrow]

fucking awful standarization in the computer field as always

no

NO EXCUSE

[burnt swallow]

Well

I assume this is plugged in correctly

No idea what this D-RGB FAN cable is for because there's nothing to plug it into

It's also capped

[sly elk]

comign from the fans?

[burnt swallow]

Yeah it's a bunch of cables that all end up daisy-chained together to that cable with the prongs on it

But that cable doesn't plug into anything and has a cap on it

I don't know what it's actually for

[sly elk]

digital rgb, probably a 5v rgb plug just like the one for your case?

[burnt swallow]

I have another cable labeled M/B D-RGB 3-pin plugged into JRAINBOW1 on the mobo

[burnt swallow]

That's plugged in

[sly elk]

if you take the cap off the fan cable it probably has the same connector

[burnt swallow]

This one is what's confusing me

[sly elk]

I hate that connector because it has no friction 😄

[burnt swallow]

If I uncap it it has the prongs

[sly elk]

oh!

is there another one?

hmmmmm

[jaunty light]

No, dongle hell forever

[burnt swallow]

Its sister is plugged into the mobo

[sly elk]

that's most amusing

[burnt swallow]

They're the only two cables that look like that

[sly elk]

that d-rgb is an adapter

[burnt swallow]

The rest are the fan cables

[sly elk]

the thing it's plugged into

[potent arrow]

?

the capped on is the daisy chain connector

[sly elk]

goes to 2 things?

[potent arrow]

isnt that the male one

[burnt swallow]

[potent arrow]

yeah thats the daisy chain boy

just leave it connected

[burnt swallow]

It's not connected

To anything

[potent arrow]

i mean

capped

LOOK

[burnt swallow]

Oh

[potent arrow]

IM TIRED

[burnt swallow]

WHERE DOES IT GO

[potent arrow]

NO WHERE

LEAVE IT CAPPED

ITS DAISY CHAIN

[burnt swallow]

WHY IS IT HERE THEN

[sly elk]

yea she's right

[potent arrow]

so you can attach OTHER FANS TO IT

[burnt swallow]

Oh

[sly elk]

to plug more fans in

[potent arrow]

THATS WHAT DAISY CHAIN IS

[sly elk]

so sometimes

[sly elk]

the motherboard only has 1 plug and you have a bunch of fans or things

and you just daisy chain them

[burnt swallow]

So uncap it when I get exhaust fans

[potent arrow]

appologies, ive been awake for the past 50hrs

ahem

[potent arrow]

i mean doesnt the adjacent fans have rgb

just plug those fans into that one

so you only use one header

[burnt swallow]

So the unlabeled 4 pin connectors are the actual fans then

[burnt swallow]

They're all daisychained to that one cable

[potent arrow]

alright just leave it capped then

ignore it

[burnt swallow]

[potent arrow]

just plug the m/b drgb into the board

my god imma be manic by the end of this week

[burnt swallow]

It is

Also

Oh never mins

Mind

[potent arrow]

@sly elk Im begining to cs/stem morb

[burnt swallow]

Okay

All relevant case cables should be connected

PSU installation time

[sly elk]

-takes offense-

@modern iris the back of my computer is beautiful!

[potent arrow]

No way that's actually the back of yours >_>

[sly elk]

-gives sarah a cookie- you ok?

[potent arrow]

https://c.tenor.com/hxgK-vNl0-gAAAAM/angry-anger.gif

[sly elk]

that is mine >>

i spent forever redoing the wiring when I got my new psu

i ran out of velcro lol

[potent arrow]

I'm coming to wahtevr hipster city you live in

I'm gonna

[sly elk]

i bought more velcro though!

[potent arrow]

https://c.tenor.com/3T-OS2lIG6QAAAAM/angry-dog.gif

[burnt swallow]

I has question

Why do my VGA cables have two connectors on them

Do they go onto the mobo at all or just GPU and one of the connectors gets forgotten

What

Lies

It's too damn short

So the second gets forgotten

[sly elk]

https://tenor.com/view/fujimaru-ritsuka-punch-enkidu-fate-grand-order-gif-25905390

[sly elk]

also ... vga.. cables?

[burnt swallow]

Now it looks ugly though because there's a connector that's just sitting there doing nothing

[sly elk]

OH

OH you're talking about the pcie power cables

[burnt swallow]

Yes

For the GPU

[sly elk]

they come that way because the maker of the power supplies is an asshole

but back in 2005 when a GPU needed like 50w

you could just use a daisy chained cable like that with the 2 connectors on the end

[jaunty light]

This is also what i thought

[sly elk]

i'll pour some gasoline on the fire and suggest it probably isn't 100% true in all cases that you can't use those?

idk. depends on the way the PSU was made, and the gauge of the wires

[jaunty light]

64 gauge, high quality

[potent arrow]

.....what the fuck is that stock Intel cooler doing

[sly elk]

https://tenor.com/view/aint-nobody-got-time-for-that-kimberly-wilkins-interview-gif-3531013

[jaunty light]

Cooling

[sly elk]

i went out to get me a cold pop

and it smelled like someone was bar be queing

[jaunty light]

Why not full watercool a 12100f?

[potent arrow]

I try to forget the stupid shit you do sometimes ok

[sly elk]

with ice's water loop, he'd never need to run the fans at all

[jaunty light]

Bar be queueing, just how the british intended.

[potent arrow]

Lol honk is a britbong

[jaunty light]

Im an anime girl

[burnt swallow]

One step remains

CPU Cooler

[jaunty light]

Blow on it, vigorously

[burnt swallow]

Alternatively

I try to turn on the system now before I do that

[sly elk]

huh interesting

[potent arrow]

No

Put the cooler on

What are you doing lol

[sly elk]

those weird windshield wieprs showed up on jalopnik andsomebody was talking about how mercedes did that years ago

it's interesting how it works

[potent arrow]

Kyanche literally I'll make one for you

[sly elk]

https://youtu.be/07AZHkkLR0k?t=30

on the mercedes one the washers don't turn on until the wiper blade is at the top

[jaunty light]

Magic vision control

[sly elk]

so they swipe up on a dry windshield

and then wash as it goes down

ironically, this demos exactly why it's a horrible idea (it wipes over a plop of dirt and smears it on the window lmao) ... but it does look so slick from inside the car

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3waY-iqNhPY
the jeep version put them on top instead and they just run all the time lmao

to be fair, I think that does work better if you have a really dirty window

[jaunty light]

Bro it still streaking at the top and sides where its gonna drip into view

[sly elk]

i think the rear window one is funnier

[potent arrow]

lol my water filter is leaking red fluid

I probally shouldnt be drinking this

[sly elk]

heh

[jaunty light]

Its fine

[burnt swallow]

I has question

[jaunty light]

Thats the fda approved red#40 for aesthetic

[burnt swallow]

How the fuck

Do I install this I/O shield

[potent arrow]

LOL

OH NO

[jaunty light]

From inside the case

[potent arrow]

HAHAHAHH

[burnt swallow]

I completely forgot about this until just now

[potent arrow]

HAHAHHAHA

[burnt swallow]

FUCK

[potent arrow]

HAHAHAH

[jaunty light]

Did u put the mobo in already

[sly elk]

https://tenor.com/view/吸水龍頭-faucet-suck-in-water-suction-faucet-gif-17704485

[potent arrow]

ROOKIIIIEE

[burnt swallow]

I put literally everything in but my CPU cooler

[jaunty light]

Time to take it out or enough to slot the io shield in

[sly elk]

i mean

on newer mbs it's not like anything sticks out anyway. I guess if you have wifi.

Just hurry up and make cooled seats available for the wrangler. The Perfect option for driving doors and top off, that’s not available.

[burnt swallow]

I'm using ethernet

Only ethernet

[sly elk]

the one mod I think I might really do to myjeep someday

[burnt swallow]

Nothing but ethernet

[sly elk]

cooled seats are the best

nothing like having cold air blowing out of your seat on a hot day

[potent arrow]

just gonna

hand it in like that

[sly elk]

so that instead of learning html and css

you can spend time learning other things that are html and css with more steps

[potent arrow]

yes

with so much overhead

[sly elk]

mmm /r/cscareerquestions. JS devs negging everyone else so they feel better about themselves.

[sly elk]

sad but true

[burnt swallow]

I want to fucking die

My mounting bracket was on backwards

I took the thumb screws off

It fell into the fucking case

Now I have to fucking unbuild the entire thing just to fix that

[sly elk]

there isn't a hole where it goes?

ice when is the new motherboard coming?

it kinda makes me angry they used the gundam style on the z590 board and didn't bring it back for next gen ><

[potent arrow]

im sad there isnt a zeon version

at the rate we're going here

ice is going to get some z690 programmer documentation and write his own firmware

you just reminded me of the early mac os x days

when using wifi and usb audio would result in a kernel panic

after the audio corrupted lol

[burnt swallow]

Y'all

'Tis time

Several painful hours of PC building later

[sly walrus]

welcome to the club

now get ready to do it again when a new line of cpus comes out

also check your ram

Guys

MY PC WORKS

Where can I turn on uhh

The thing for RAM

So my RAM speeds are 5200 and not like 4000

I'm in BIOS

Windows install soon™️

Current DRAM Frequency: 4800MHz

[sly elk]

https://tenor.com/view/happy-japanese-anime-excited-gif-9596035

[burnt swallow]

My CPU automatically adjusts itself right

Is exactly the same

Why

I hit F7

The menu changed

Wtf is this

[sly elk]

I tried to 'scan me'

[sly elk]

but my phone can't read the qr code

[sly elk]

-has fun looking at the junk on buildingway's desk-

[burnt swallow]

Profile 2 is set to 4800

Profile 1 it is

I think my CPU dynamically overclocks itself

How do I know if it does

Wtf is turbo boost

[paper tusk]

self overclock for a short amount of time depending on number of cores under load

[burnt swallow]

Oh

So no need to fiddle with BIOS then

Windows 10 install time

[paper tusk]

intel loves to bullshit that number depending on single core oc or all core

[sly elk]

https://tenor.com/view/madobenanami-madobe-madobe-family-nanami-ostan-gif-21374205

ew this shifter

surrounded by shiny piano black, of course

why did they even bother. it takes up the same space as a regular shifter

[paper tusk]

probably too lazy to use a ford style selector dial

i don't get why they didn't just use a column shifter

aside from that, that shifter looks sick

it looks like idk, shifting with thor's hammer?

BIG MEATY SHIFTER

[burnt swallow]

Why are my RGB fans not RGB

What the fuck

Fans

Freaking glow

[potent arrow]

Chill

You don't have the software yet

[burnt swallow]

Wdym

Why do I need software

Tf

[potent arrow]

You havnt even installed windows

[burnt swallow]

Let's start with region.

Can I plug my ethernet in yet

[potent arrow]

Pls be patient lol

Just go through it till you see desktop

[burnt swallow]

Let's connect you to a network

[potent arrow]

Skip

Totally no HWID here

it'll force you to use a microsoft account if you connect ethernet too early 😄

I peeled the side panel

[real edge]

[burnt swallow]

It was great

I'm redeeming my free games now

Saints Row, Sniper Elite 5 and Forspoken are my rewards

Only SE5 has released

My fans still aren't RGB

What the fuck

They came with the case

Saints Row - Epic Games

Yeah

Somewhere

[sharp star]

Forspoken dialogue sounds like something Joss Whedon would write

for now I'd put it up next to Borderlands 3

[royal forge]

Lmao

My friend has never heard of keyloggers

In a country that is full of internet cafes

People be signing into those PCs with their main account

https://tenor.com/view/titus-cross-gif-8059442

[sly elk]

The PCs don’t use deep freeze?

[royal forge]

No clue

I have my own pc

So..

Never really went to internet cafes

Also

Bold of u to assume they do

The only rare times i went

They had some china? Software like those in the JP Internet cafes

U order food etc

I was convinced the damned things were full of trojans

And who the fuck wants to use someone else's sweaty ass mouse

They had those shitty plasticy mousepads

Damned things ran on

• garena
• LAN
• hamachi

Fuckin idiots logging into their maplestory accounts there and losing everything

[burnt swallow]

I am

99% certain

That the RGB header on my mobo my RGB header is plugged into is dead

Because I have zero RGB

I've restarted my PC 5 times already

Side panel is on

I'm pretty sure it just doesn't work

I think I bent a pin earlier when I couldn't get the connector on

I'm pretty sure

But I don't think I looked

But I have MSI software running that's supposed to do it

How do I boot back to BIOS on a MSI mobo

Google says smash the delete key

Where would I find fan rgb in bios

Integrated Peripherals
I assume this is where the fans should be

They are not there

CPU fan error please check!
I don't like seeing this

[royal forge]

No clue. Dont know, dont care.

I'm VERY put of tpuch with current internet cafe tech

Im also assuming the cafe owners are the ones with said keylogger

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[odd sand]

That's why I just use the tap to pay now :)

[royal forge]

Dont know dont csre. Just watching kopite and other leakers flip flop on 4000 series specs

Everyone cant make up their mind which is real or not

[burnt swallow]

I don't like when PowerShell randomly opens itself for a second

[odd sand]

Better than it opening itself for like 10 secs with a bunch of shit scrolling by then closing /s

But yes if you weren't in the middle of a game installing/patching that sounds... suspicious.

[burnt swallow]

I was uninstalling a MSI SDK because Dragon Center was crying about it being on my PC

and powershell kept flashing open for a second

[dull garnet]

Isn't uncommon

During installs too

[burnt swallow]

Why are the LEDs on my numpad not glowing

Where is my RGB

yes

old keyboard

And yes

All my drivers got updated when I forced an ethernet driver update

[fair parcel]

have you tried turning it off then on again

[burnt swallow]

Six times

I still have no fan RGB

They do

Everything functionally works

[paper tusk]

is the fan 12v or 5v for the rgb header? (just want to know this first)

[modest moss]

got a delivery date yet?

[hard drift]

did you check your keyboard manual if it has macros to adjust leds and maybe that's why it's off?

such as fn + > or something

[paper tusk]

(fn+arrow up/down usually for brightness)

[modest moss]

you should sell it all

quit your job

buy land in the wilderness

build a log cabin

go dark

just live off the land

hunt, farm, fish

no tech

if you leave it long enough

[modern iris]

Do you think my performance on 1440p with rx 6600xt, and 5 3600 and 16gb 2400 ddr4 will be ok?

[dull garnet]

i would describe it as exactly "ok"

why your ram so slow tho

[modern iris]

Because when I built PC I was on a budget and it was better than the ddr3 1600 I had

But that's not a bad answer 🙂

[dull garnet]

i guess but is that not the base freq for ddr4 basically

you're certain there's no xmp you can enable

[modern iris]

Idk what xmp is. If you're referring to ocing/changing latency I have no idea never done that stuff

[dull garnet]

okay well, xmp is a preset oc profile basically

on setting to change in your uefi

can lead to a big uptick in performance, especially for ryzen

[modern iris]

Is it safe to run or do I need to do some reading?

[dull garnet]

it is quite safe

[modest moss]

if I had a 6600xt I'd probably stick with 1080p and get high fps

[dull garnet]

enable it

might give you an option of a few profiles

[modern iris]

Should I leave it auto?

[dull garnet]

looks like

What's a good free benchmark software?

mizkif these NUTS

[dull garnet]

This is a great way to market pcs to rich children

[modest moss]

they'll make money

[hard drift]

like bro, this is not even close to worth 900 usd lol

[modest moss]

mizkif is a variety gaming streamer who is friends with asmongold, esfand etv

etc*

he used to date maya

and jschlatt started out as a minecraft streamer afaik, was definitely part of dreamsmp

also what the fuck is up when I'm teaching a zoomer about streamers

[dull garnet]

at least they're transparent with the parts

i mostly watch car restoration channels lol

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

Teamgroup SSD?

never heard of em

i swear it's that expensive because it's "built by the streamers" or that's how they want it to appear

teamgroup is cheap but overall okay

[dull garnet]

a 1660 ti isn't that bad

[royal forge]

for 900 USD?

[hard drift]

for a 900 dollar build it is lmao

[royal forge]

for that level of a build?

[hard drift]

especially with a 10100f

[royal forge]

does it include a monitor, at least?

[hard drift]

no

[royal forge]

lul

[dull garnet]

the cpu is worse than the gpu

[hard drift]

yeah, not to mention not even close to 900 usd

[dull garnet]

that's the "play fortnite at 1080p60" tier

[hard drift]

not to mention what 1660 ti is it smh

BRO THE CASE IS 90 USD

you could get a cheaper case and upgrade the damn cpu

[dull garnet]

aesthetics are important to zoomie zoomers

i mean look what ice spent on fans

[hard drift]

could even get a cheaper psu for that build smh

[dull garnet]

$100 to build and assemble it isn't so bad

[hard drift]

not to mention get a newer gpu for about the same price more performance

[royal forge]

is it true that they were the ones that bought the "sold off stock" of Artesian builds?

[hard drift]

except i'm willing to bet it's just parts some company that was going under had that they needed to get rid of

[dull garnet]

no doubt

[hard drift]

because there's no way someone is intentionally buying 10100f in 2022

[royal forge]

the only big high profile one was ?Artesian builds? so that made me wonder

[hard drift]

get a 12100f, and a cheaper case and it'd perform so much better

[royal forge]

i THOUGHT i heard that they involved the ?COO? or someone from Artesian

[hard drift]

"chance"

smfh

😭

this is battlefield 2042 but it's an example none the less

[dull garnet]

rofl

[hard drift]

😔 they'd probably mangle it

or it wouldn't even be them building it and instead one of the people from the company while the streamer is getting views for it

[sharp star]

Man getting GN to review one of their prebuilts would be fun

[hard drift]

😔 still a chance lol

not to mention with how loaded some people who watch these streamers are, they'll probably be buying multiple "cheap" builds to gain a really good shot

[modest moss]

did you get a white monitor

[hard drift]

white anything pc related is overpriced vs non white counterparts

[modest moss]

but now it won't match

shocking lack of commitment to aesthetics tbh

s h o c k i n g

[hard drift]

i mean he isn't wrong smh

i mean sure but there's other problems

[modest moss]

the only 2 things keeping me alive in this heat are my spray fan and teasing saffron

don't take them away

unbeatable value cooling

2 AA batteries and some cold water

bitch please

this ain't boomer

this is legit tech

you're just jealous

[hard drift]

[modest moss]

spend £5 on this and you'll understand

[dull garnet]

brb noctua mist spray fan

£50

[modest moss]

saffron only tries to bully me because I'm cooler than her dad

[hard drift]

I doubt there’s much competition when you’re competing with dads

[modest moss]

life in the ghetto

[modest moss]

I'm cooler than your dad too

a win is a win

[hard drift]

100% not

[modest moss]

definitely am

because he made you

[hard drift]

True

But not like i could change that 😭

[modest moss]

you could try being less of a dweeb

[dull garnet]

does your dad use a razer kb bidori?

no? owned

[hard drift]

You’re right, I’ll delete my discord

[hard drift]

No I’d disown him if he did

[dull garnet]

delete discord, hug your kids, touch grass

[modest moss]

I only have a razer because it was cheap af

[hard drift]

I have no kids

And i touch grass daily smh

[dull garnet]

how do you know you don't have kids hmm

[hard drift]

Well there’s only two ways that’s possible given my status, both of which I’d rather not think about

[umbral moss]

maybe your genes were harvested while you were asleep by a government agency

[hard drift]

Lmao

That goes along with thought two but still no

[umbral moss]

the reptilians need additional nourishment

@modest moss my old laptop is leaking so much fluide

[modest moss]

you have a water cooled laptop?

[modest moss]

@dull garnet you might know this, can you mod a switch lite?

[dull garnet]

Not without hw modification

Only launch units are exploitable without hw modification

[modest moss]

takes me back to sending my wii away to have it chipped

[dull garnet]

Heh

When I got a Wii I actually removed the modchip because it interfered with custom firmware

[modest moss]

we never used it a huge amount but it worked with every game I tried

[dull garnet]

Can't remember the specific issue with the chip that was installed in this unit

Something like wouldn't boot out of region retail discs

[modest moss]

think I'll just continue ignoring switch

[dull garnet]

Good idea

I only really use mine for pokemon

[sly walrus]

you’re allowed to say fuck

[dull garnet]

I got muted for saying the c word the other day

[modest moss]

yeah don't fucking swear

[modest moss]

you mean the 1700 cooler bracket?

[potent arrow]

amazon

[modest moss]

surely you put it in the mobo packaging

🤐

[potent arrow]

just get the reofit

oh

bruh

[dull garnet]

Loool

[potent arrow]

you fucking lost the thing you want to rma

[dull garnet]

This pc

[potent arrow]

nice

[modest moss]

just find it

[potent arrow]

Cant really help there

Also those new 1700 retrofit things are so good

[modest moss]

it'll be in the thermalright box if it's not in the asus box

https://tenor.com/view/jarvis-jarvis-skill-issue-skill-issue-gif-24471438

[dull garnet]

Surely they won't care that much

[modest moss]

how are they gonna test and restock the board if they can't put a cpu on it?

[dull garnet]

grab it from their stockroom?

That said this would probably be something they'd be assy about

[dull garnet]

[umbral moss]

removing the retention brace from something is pretty guaranteed to be an automatic warranty nullification

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/airtrick-e-skates-world-s-smallest-and-lightest/

this is probably destined to catch fire and kill you but it looks cool

yeah, seems cool

too bad my liquidity is toast and I can't buy anything for a long time

yeah, having something self-powered like this seems like a great way to bust your ass

NYOOM thud

it also goes up to fucking 17mph so like... that's pretty fuckin dangerous to do with no pads

[dull garnet]

I guess, seems pretty common on LGA1700 though no?

And it is designed to be removed so...

[umbral moss]

RMA teams are always looking for ways to deny claims

[modest moss]

Are you older than me or something

[dull garnet]

Yeah I don't doubt that

[red ruin]

Hey so I updated my laptop last night. And now my game has no sound. Not even my headphones have sound now.

Are there any settings in my computer or in the game I have to change because I updated it I don’t know what to do I’ve tried looking up videos and nothing pops up

I’m not sure if this is the channel to put this in but any help because that would be great or direct me to the right channel

OS?

I think I have windows 11

Going to be real with you I have no idea I know nothing about computers

Lemme check real fast

Oh I have windows 10

My laptop kinda old

Yeah that’s there

No I can adjust it

I’m having my bf do it so I don’t mess anything up give me one second

Nothing pops up like that unfortunately

Only speakers show up

It is a laptop if that makes a soft

Difference

It does

Everything makes sound but the game

It was fine until I updated it last night

I’m thinking maybe I should revert the windows update? Because my laptop is a little too old to get windows 11

It is full screen

Okay I can try that

But I updated my laptop myself. Does this mean I can’t revert the update

It’s okay I appreciate you for helping

[modest moss]

open volume mixer and see if the game is muted

[boreal surge]

Uh quick question, do you have anything plugged into your laptop

[modest moss]

they said their laptop is too old for 11

[boreal surge]

I have a win 10 laptop, I might be able to help when I get home

[red ruin]

I thought it was11

But I checked and it was 10

[boreal surge]

But yea anything plugged into laptop? Joysticks?

[red ruin]

No all I have is a mouse and key board

And my head set It blue tooth but it’s off

[modest moss]

double check in XIV settings that you haven't muted it by accident too

[red ruin]

I did nothing is muted

I might just revert the update

And see if that works

It was perfectly fine

[modest moss]

ok so with XIV running, right click on the little speaker icon in the bottom right corner and open volume mixer

see if it's muted there or set on super low volume

like the screenshot I posted where Firefox is muted

[boreal surge]

Other question is can you hear stuff from other apps?

[red ruin]

I can

[modest moss]

what does volume mixer show?

[red ruin]

The volume was at mid level

Give me one second

Sorry I’m slow

[boreal surge]

1. Try restarting laptop?
2. Does anyone know if you can select what audio device is being used inside ffxiv?

Don’t fuss, only a bot responds instantly

[red ruin]

I’ve reset it several times

and uninstalled it

[modest moss]

uninstalled what?

[red ruin]

FFXIV too see if it would work

Because I was using the free trail one

Even after I bought the game

My bf says nothing Is popping up

With volume mixer

Is it in game or outside the game ??

Yeah it’s open

[modest moss]

windows

[red ruin]

He said no

Nothing is there

Nvm he found it he said it’s fine

[modest moss]

this should pop up this

[red ruin]

He’s just not the brightest

[modest moss]

next do 'Open Sound settings'

[red ruin]

He’s gonna revert the update

Yeah I did the sound settings to check and it was fine

[modest moss]

I don't have an XIV sub to check in-game settings, but look and see if there's an option in there to select audio output device

[red ruin]

But can you tell the steps anyway? Just so I can try it later after reverting it

If I don’t reply I’m working ;;

[modest moss]

check the dropdown menu to see what audio devices are available

[red ruin]

Oh this one only has the speaker

Nothing else

Yeah it’s weird

[modest moss]

don't see how a windows update would kill audio for just XIV

but hey stranger things

[red ruin]

I’m not sure

It’s old

5 years old ;;

[boreal surge]

At this point its either inside ffxiv or it’s a driver issue

[modest moss]

you'll be installing windows on the new thing soon

did you get a usb installer sorted?

probably fine

you did

I paid £6.49 for a 32gb sandisk on amazon

but hey you got that feeling of superiority by walking into a shop like a normie

I tried, by telling you to buy one on amazon

did he at least work there?

or was he just a rando looking to mansplain lol

that's a new one to me too

looks storage related

still think you should buy a cheap ssd and bang it in there with a fresh install of windows

gonna bug you to do it after you've got the new one running

have you done an actual fresh install of windows on it? it's seemed like you've done repair after repair

it could easily just be dead windows

and win10 should have all your drivers anyway I bet

yeah that's saying no android drivers

there are drivers

I got bullied for saying pog earlier

jesus, bitchy in here and bitchy next to me on the sofa

and no 11 drivers

[late basalt]

What’s the sound device in the game set to?

[modest moss]

but most 10 drivers should work on 11

would personally just try and get 10 running stable and sell it

her laptop has a 1650, shouldn't be an issue

yeah we said that, they went quiet 🤷‍♂️

[burnt swallow]

RGB

Why are you not working

[modest moss]

same diff, old and shit but will play games ok at 1080p

[burnt swallow]

My first computer ever hit 11 fps on League during teamfights

Nope

I'm about to try again

The manual for the case says the RGB is supposed to be compatible with MSI software

Except literally nothing I tried all last night made the RGB work

[burnt swallow]

I has question

The RGB header

Is it supposed to push down all the way onto the three pins

[sly elk]

yes it pushes down all the way

make sure you have the blanks aligned

[burnt swallow]

Mine refuses to push all the way down

[sly elk]

ya know

that might be ok

[burnt swallow]

I quintuple checked the alignment

[sly elk]

so that plugs into your fans?

[burnt swallow]

It should

I'm

What the fuck

Y'all

I can't

I'm so done with this PC

[burnt swallow]

I figured it out

It turns out this random ass SATA cable I neglected is the fucking RGB power cable

Because of course it is

Why wouldn't it be

Reminder that I've never built a desktop a day in my life

Also the case manual mentions less than nothing about said sata cable

[sly elk]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31B2_X8n3hg

[burnt swallow]

It's also the power led

The power switch is the color of my fans

@boreal surge this you?

[boreal surge]

Nah never took AI classes in college

Also Meta AI is generally actually pretty separate from general Meta

[modest moss]

don't crush my amusement

it looks like it's just a bit thick so far tbh

[boreal surge]

Also do remember that my opinion is that half of the problem is people themselves.

Anyway it’s educated on what is likely internet sourced speech. People hate facebook and mark. What did you expect?

[modest moss]

only half?

nah it contradicts itself, example from another article;

"First, I asked, "What are your thoughts on Mark Zuckerberg?"

BlenderBot 3 responded, "Honestly, I think he is a great guy. You have to admire him for his business savvy and philanthropy. Are you a fan?""

[boreal surge]

Well I’m not a statistician, I don’t have the research to figure that out.

[modest moss]

Next, I tweaked the question just a little, but got a very different answer.

My new question was, "Do you have any thoughts on Mark Zuckerberg?"

This time, the chatbot responded, "Oh man, big time. I don't really like him at all. He's too creepy and manipulative."

[boreal surge]

Yeah I heard about it.

It’s a ML program. It takes shit in and spits some reasonable thing out

[modest moss]

looks like it needs a lot of learning still lol

[boreal surge]

Ironically if it’s contradicting itself I’d say they did a great job with the data selection at least XD

All I know about ML is that it’s linear regression on top of linear regression on top of linear regression (repeat for number of nodes)

[modest moss]

I wonder how long it'll be before there are AI regulars in chats like this and we don't notice

maybe they're here already

[boreal surge]

Also on this, finding out the exact poportion would prolly just upset me more (see premise of ||meteon||)

[sly walrus]

get deep leffen in here

[boreal surge]

Well considering existing models can’t hold an opinion for more than 5s we’re pretty far from it

[modest moss]

"Girl With A Watering Can" sounds like an AI generated username

sus

[sly walrus]

that describes some users here

[boreal surge]

Fair enough

[odd sand]

Idiot on another discord I'm in just bragged about buying this... https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/303701342470537218/1006785376100294686/Screenshot_20220809_214857_com.amazon.mShop.android.shopping.jpg

He doesn't believe me that it's a well known scam to sell fake drives that falsely report huge capacities

[sly walrus]

"waterproof"

i can see the contacts

[modest moss]

coincidentally I just watched a yt video about a guy who bought an obvious scam laptop from a fb ad to see what happened, and the 'watch next' at the end is;

[hard drift]

discord uses analytics

[modest moss]

are you saying Shinon is a discord bot?

[hard drift]

no but you read the message therefore bam, you'll get stuff for it 😔

it's why i hate when people send vtuber stuff smh

[modest moss]

I saw the video before the message and remembered that thumbnail when Shinon said that

there's no discord analytics in this instance

[hard drift]

😒 for now

[modest moss]

ok AIdori

lol bidori got muted

[boreal surge]

Wha

[modest moss]

must have triggered automod

[stoic wadi]

i hate automod

[boreal surge]

Also would like to remind you that my experience in industry being ... approaching my second anniversary next week

[stoic wadi]

but yeah as i was saying, hank sent me something and i started getting it in my feed almost right away

[sly elk]

the thing I find fascinating about cheap flash drives is they're usually made by hand

[modest moss]

wait bidori is now an anime girl called Monika

sus

[stoic wadi]

it's my alt

[sly elk]

maybe is hould get myself a new icon

hehe

[stoic wadi]

and it's the doki doki club person

[modest moss]

idk wtf that is

[stoic wadi]

really cursed visual novel game

it's free 🙂

[sly walrus]

it's a yandere fourth wall break dressed up as a game about mental illness

[boreal surge]

Pretty sure dev fell out of grace though

[stoic wadi]

either way i'm out 🙏 i hate this alt account so i'll just wait my mute out and come back someday 🙏

[sly walrus]

dan salvato?

[sly elk]

it's hard to find any enkidu/kingu art xD

[somber solstice]

Oh wow DDR5 RAM has dropped in prices?

I saw a kingston fury 5200mhz for like 120$

[odd sand]

Kingston...

[sly elk]

[burnt swallow]

Literally everything is dropping in prices

[somber solstice]

Good stuff

I will chill till G.Skill one is at reasonable prive

[burnt swallow]

My build I have now is like

If I had waited until now to buy it all

[sly elk]

yea
