honest panther
I want to use the trial version
sly elk
I've installed the installation media onto a flash drive, but I don't know where...
...
you just don't put a product key in i think
the windows installer will let you install without a key
if your computer came with windows 10, its product key is already stored in uefi i think idk
honest panther
Maybe I should buy one before it'll be easier
sly elk
there's some kinda fuckery where it'll auto-activate
ye i bought a couple copies of windows 10 at some point so
void dove
if your computer came with windows 10, its product key is already stored in uefi...
not for custom builds, using over the shelf parts.
only OEM pre-builds do.
though IF you have already activated that computer before, microsoft's servers will usually recognise it the first time you go on the internet and just auto activate
assuming you install the same edition of windows
so if you had home, install Home again
not pro
wide hill
when i updated my bios that cleared my tpm module, i lost my windows license key and had to use a script activator
void dove
if you purchased parts and built it yourself you should have bought Windows, and have a key or have it on your microsoft account or wherever they do it these days
void dove
when i updated my bios that cleared my tpm module, i lost my windows license key...
?!?! windows keys aren't tied to TPM. what?
that would be the first time ive ever heard of that
wide hill
it might have recognized it as a different hardware
void dove
likely
in that case you just call Microsoft and have them just allow the activation
ez
its perfectly valid, they can't just take it away
even can replace half the computer and they will allow it
wide hill
so, yes, my license key was on my microsoft account, i tried to do the "i did a hardware change on my machine" windows tool, and it errored on me
void dove
usually replacing the motherboard invalidates it
wide hill
oh and yeah i couldn't call them, it had to make it an email ticket
void dove
you can usually retrieve the key, then just use a command to force insert the key
then it works
the built in GUI to activate or upgrade keys, is horribly buggy
and just fails on keys for no reason
wide hill
this was the bios upgrade
void dove
but the command line version,. just works
void dove
this was the bios upgrade
doesn't mean much 🤷♂️
wide hill
yeah it just meant that the TPM is getting cleared

FYI, if anyone is running their own PalWorld server.
My friends moved a massive base on my server, and it shot the RAM usage up from like 5GB to 20GB, and was super janky to play.
seems to be a memory leak somewhere, as it never cleared up, i had to restart to bring it back down to normal and get it working smoothly again.
there was also a stealth server patch, no idea what they changed, its not mentioned anywhere.
maybe helps with this, or the public server login issues 🤷♂️

you are more than fine, mmos generally dont ask for a brand new system, this aint a AAA game, otherwise they would isolate half their playerbase or more.

i used to play on a 1060
most mmos run well on comfortably mid to budget range PCs
as more players = more money, and more Ongoing money
especially Free 2 play mmos

if i had something i hate about amd
it's that you can't just download the driver files for windows
you have to download & install adrenalin
at least nvidia doesn't require geforce experience to install their shit
this is the one advantage to nvidia's software being a super old looking and kinda useless pos tool
but it's defeated by having to download even shittier 3rd party vendor software for things like thermal/power management
love it or hate it, I think amd's software is way way way better than anything evga/asus/zotac/whoever are capable of making
(although isn't msi's tool kinda legendary for overclocking?)

if your budget is under like $400-500 then amd is usually the way to go unless you have a specific reason you want nvidia, and if you do, hey no need to sweat it, get what you need/want and be happy

wait, you need another tyre to drift on dirt? I thought that's where people practice haha

typically its power sliding

and like
big brakes. i want bigger brakes. ones with proper calipers
dire viper
only need proper calipers if you have more power and need the extra contact
sly elk
i mean the front brakes are dual piston at least, I think, so they're not just straight up sliders, but they don't look legit like a brembo or whatever

i thought "I want to stop this 4500lb brick several times in a row" was a situation where big brakes helped

brakes dont let you stop faster if your tires cant grip
sly elk
iirc the size isn't really a performance consideration on the wrangler anyway
dire viper
its a complex thing to figure out
sly elk
the reason they didn't go bigger was because jeep yahoos like to throw small wheels with big fat tires on
dire viper
you need an optimal brake balance ratio with proper tires and pad/rotor contact
sly elk
and the 18"/20" options generate a lot of hate
there's people who even bitch about the 17" being too big
because they want 14" with gigantic bias ply mud tires
dire viper
a 911 cant stop nearly as fast with standard michelin tires than it can with Pilot Cups
sly elk
to be fair, all terrain tires sometimes hve very cool tread patterns
but then they have crappy wet traction
love it when I take a turn in the target parking lot and my tires squeal going across the painted lines

my issue is most trails people are on arent even like. just straight dirt like a lot of the offroad tires are meant for

Unless you can get a pretty quick spooling turbo to help bolster the torque
N/A power doesn’t really do much unless you have a lot of displacement

It’s why race cars from the 70’s and before either went for monstrous engine size or super high revs

what are your specs?

My config is 24GB ram DDR3, Processor FX 6300
And i have a GTX 960 with 4GB

What do you guys think? Atleast on low to medium maybe?

uhhhh
for once I'm really not sure it can
that barely just grazes min spec

I can run the game with old graphics like 45 - 50 fps with high settings
Just some settings on low and medium

I keep checking whether my laptop can run DT and apparently the only problem is the Graphics Card
But it’s wired to the laptop so I don’t really know if I should replace it so soon
It’s less than 5 years old
potent arrow
you can't replace a GPU in a laptop (don't anyone dare actually me with the framework)
I'm sure if the GPU is 5 years old you probably meet min spec tbh
velvet flint
I wonder actually
Since I’ve been told to do something about the graphics card and
Just last year I installed the wrong drivers and I’m worried about blue screening again
potent arrow
surely it's fine even if it's a 10 series
velvet flint
Lemme go check real quick since it’s either Intel or Nvidia
potent arrow
should be nvidia
potent arrow
yeah internal and dgpu
Games run off your dedicated GPU for the most part
what's your gpu 1
velvet flint
Nvidia GeForce MX450
think my laptop's a Lenovo Yogai Slim 7i Pro so I could easily not have the original gpus in mind

so uhhhh what does that mean?

you are fine for min specs I would say
I'm using an mx150
in my Thinkpad and get like 30 frames

FFXIV isn’t like the topmost AAA games right

the new minimum specs
is a ten year old system

yes

Even if the benchmark comes out later or people thinking I need to change-

the specs are old and you should ideally get something better but it will play ffxiv just fine]

I’m not sure about how to fix my incorrect drivers but eh
go to nvdias site and download the matching drivers to your gpu
if you really are unsure just use GeForce experience
it'll pick the right one
velvet flint
It started because I downloaded and installed some drivers from online because vulcan info and now I’m worried about overloading my pc again

NVIDIA has revised the embargo conditions for its GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER review program, moving the date from January 30 to January 31. This change aligns the embargo lift with the product's official retail launch.```its not like we do not know whats already coming
at most a 1-3% uplift
all ppl care about is reduced price and new connector

and less cards that self destruct from sag

at least those are the things I care about and why I am not getting a regular 4080 from whatever shop

but not ridiculously big and bulky
sharp star
umbral moss
It might be time to stop shipping air cooled gpus entirely and only ship water cooled with naked blocks or aios
Make air cooling the niche for super compact micro itx weirdos
99% of the issues with sag are from the fact you need 3kg of copper and fans to dissipate that 550w of heat
Those slots were never designed for that kind of shit although one is left to wonder why the pci spec group didn't consider that since GPU interfacing is basically all anyone uses the slots for lmao

Radiators should be incorporated into the side panel on the chassis anyway so you have less tubing to run, it's wild how much space you waste in a tower design because the side panels don't have any useful function

love how my 4090 came with bracers in the box and instructions on how to attach them to the case (screw them inbetween the mobo and case), and to the card itself (adjust with a screw and hook into a special slot on the card)

As damber said, I can't think of any time I've heard someone mention their AIO leaking. You'd really have to misuse/abuse it. Also if its an AIO, couldn't they simply use a non-conducting fluid in case of leaks?

if that was viable, everyone would do it

Everyone doesn't do it bc they don't make very many AIO GPUs, and the ones they do are expensive

AIOs really dont fail that much, its people who put the pump at the top and let air get trapped in the pump housing
pumps are designed to live a long time if installed and used properly
install it correctly and it should live the life of the system
odd sand
Problem is when you use a 360mm rad, you usually have no choice but to install it with the tubes-up unless you have a chungus case like the O11
The tubes aren't long enough to reach all the way to the bottom of the case with the 360mm
I've never had any gurgling, I just get a weird TINK sound every once in a blue moon like hitting 2 metal pipes together

speaking of weird noises
I keep hearing this noise like a hdd is moving when I dont have a mechanical drive lol, I dunno if its a fan or coil whine

So maybe it's an air bubble forcing its way thru the pump like when you crack your knucles they say that's bubbles in the fluid in your joints or something?
It must be then bc there's nothing else that is known for coil whine than GPU or PSU heh

The only way AIOs usually go bad is the fluid diffusing through the tube over age and drying up
and the fluid is usually some water/glycol mix iirc

dire viper
pumps dying used to be more of a problem afaik
potent arrow
God the community witch hunt when GN did that video
wise jay
Ive been using AIOs for 10 years and havent had a single one fail in my builds
potent arrow
Yep

I mean orientation does matter, I just think listening to PC Master Race is by far the least intelligent decision you can make
ive seen two AIO's fail but neither have been mine
potent arrow
Ive always used them for my clients and really it doesnt matter how I orient the pump. The client is gonna finnagle it on some dumb angle either way
I do not care for the orientation and its never effected me
wise jay
My other question for when the AIO does fail is. What did you do to it? Followed by what brand did you buy?
potent arrow
Usually they are all the same design due to patent memes
dire viper
people using the cheapest and smallest AIO on a 13900K

I have an H100i I put into a regifted PC after using it for like 9-10 years and even running prime95 with it for like 20mins the temps didn't go above 70C, so I dunno what magic liquid they used in it but it doesn't seem to have evaporated much at all. Never heard any gurgling out of it etc before handing it off
potent arrow
its not heat that does it iirc, its just how everything is not perfectly seal and water naturally permeats out
its just takes a looooooooong time and varies on build quality
some coolers even have like, top off ports
dire viper
I’m sure if you manage to exceed heat capacity you can have issues
like the people who run 13900K’s on the cheapest or smallest AIO possible

Ive used a Thermaltake, Coolermaster, and now a Deepcool aio without issues

Ya Ive only used 240 and 360mm radiators
I dont think Id ever use a 120mm radiator. I dont see the point personally
sly elk
My other question for when the AIO does fail is. What did you do to it? Followed...
you replace it
you can also drain them out and clean them and refill them sometimes, but i doubt many people do
but a good AIO should be able to last 5-10 years easily enough
I did have an aio fail once though lol
wise jay
you replace it
No I was implying that when Ive heard someone say that. I assume they did something stupid with it
sly elk
it was a year old asetek unit that came with an alienware machine I had XD
that said, heatsinks usually last longer lol 😄
I'd say "it's just a brick of metal!" but heatpipes are a thing
wise jay
ya I never expect a leak with a AIO unless I do something stupid with it. I expect the pump to be the failure point
sly elk
the older you go the more likely it is to have issues with mold or evaporation or other crap
and the rubber for the hoses can degrade and leak
like I think it's totally valid to look at the $100+ 240-360mm aios and go "this is ridiculous" and buy a $50 heatsink
and both of my active desktops have AIOs lol
odd sand
Especially as the air coolers seem to be holding price or even being cheaper, meanwhile the AIOs only seem to be getting more expensive
I got my 360mm for $140, but I think the normal price at the time was like $200
wise jay
weird. My AIOs have been between 65 and 120 dollars
odd sand
And yes I realize part of it is my first AIO was 240mm and my current one is 360mm, but a bit more rad fins doesn't add to the cost all that much
wise jay
ya my current is 360 and my last was 240. only a 20 dollar difference
umbral moss
and the fluid is usually some water/glycol mix iirc
Terrible coolant choice, ethylene glycol damages most rubbers and when you combine cheap rubber tubing with caustic agent you're in for a bad time

im assuming it costs money because the Accord does not get over the air updates plus the influx of people going to dealers for something thats free would be pretty impactful on dealers
its also "MSRP"
meaning Dealers can change it

rearview mirrors are weird anyway

im afraid to play games today because my pc ate complete shit last night
not sure if my RAM is dying or if it was just a weird error

my computer always eats shit
dire viper
nah like 100% ram usage type eating shit
with one tab of firefox open and a game running with nothing happening
it said firefox was using 80% of the ram
no clue if it was an issue of having firefox open for like 7 hours
umbral moss
That's typical when you have a lot of tabs open for a long time
Firefox caches every tab you opened during a browsing session so it gets bloated as fuck after like two days
dire viper
ah
that makes sense
idk it was just kind of crazy, hard closing firefox didnt fix the issue tho
once steam closed it resolved
cause steam was crashing
but not
it was really weird
umbral moss
If you change the number of "restore last tab" to like, one or two it stops being such a problem
dire viper
how tf I do that
umbral moss
It's a setting oyu can change, the default is that it stores the last ten tabs you closed in case you want to go back
umbral moss
I think it's a gui level setting, you don't need to go into the guts of the Deep Config master file to change it
dire viper
I already did
umbral moss
👍

easier than trying to find it
