technology

[swift eagle]

i got it for free so why not

[prime jasper]

lol

you can play battlefield with 90-100 fps with a i5 7400 and gtx 1060

yes, that is above minimum spec so not surprising

i use to play with 50 - 60

but then

I found the right settings

and it increased fps so much

my friend got 80 fps and now he gets 170 with the settings too

[swift eagle]

you know i5 3570 and i5 7400

then 1050 and 1060

its a bit different

[prime jasper]

how come every time I log into battlefield
i have to do the prologue all over again
and
my settings reset

i had this problem for a while but I ignored and i wanna fix it now

clear Origins cache, then try reinstalling if that doesnt fix it

[swift eagle]

well

i got this that rx 5700 xt and ryzen 5 3600 will perform 2 times better in 1440p on ultra than my setup now

[prime jasper]

its gonna be a little more than 2x if youre at 20-30 tops lol

I hope you got a partner card though, those blower fans suck on the 5700

[swift eagle]

case i want to get have 4 fans so i dont think temps will be problem anymore

[steep gust]

uh the stock heatsink for the 5700xt is garbage

[latent light]

yeah don't buy the 5700XT yet

wait next month

[swift eagle]

maybe those partner will be cheaper

[latent light]

doubt

[swift eagle]

and will not be hitted with baseball

[latent light]

a normal 2 fan heatsink will probably be same price as reference

[steep gust]

The blowers are garbage

even if you have to pay more

not worth it

[latent light]

aftermarket coolers will show higher speeds anyway

people putting R7 and R9 coolers on the 5700XT and it sees higher performance even without overclocking

[steep gust]

because it turbos higher

[swift eagle]

so if one with blower is between rtx 2070 and 2070 super

the partner ones can be like 2070 super?

[steep gust]

probably?

the card overclocks well

outside of the blower

[latent light]

my RX 580 does 75C at 60% fan speed at stock frequency

undervolting by -100mV decreased fan speed by 8% and gave me roughly 1-2% higher performance

still hitting 75C though, which is the target temperature in Wattman

[swift eagle]

same temps

100% fan speed

[molten bramble]

@neat lion Videos go in #streams-and-videos .

[latent light]

my RX 580 is now only doing 70C at 50% fan speed

[steep gust]

my 1080 does like sub 60C at 50% fan speed

[latent light]

I've got dual fan

I went from 75C at 60% fan to 70C at 50% fan

[coarse nimbus]

just put a bag of ice on it

[molten bramble]

My level of curiosity about yesterday's horrendous timing debacle has risen... why W10 decided to trip balls about a 1T from 2T movement has me scratching my head. The kernel shouldn't have panicked like that.

Nor panicked as many times as it did.

I can only surmise that something was resident in memory at the time and was corrupted on restart.

Which could be the reason why one of the errors was PFN-related.

[fervent yacht]

Does anyone know if the ps4 has weekly updates because everytime I try to log on and play bf5 there is an update

[molten bramble]

#game-news Will note updates for platform specific to the game.

If there are other updates, such as the gaming platform one, we don't track those.

[lofty light]

@fervent yacht is it a UI update or a major patch?

[untold sluice]

My PC is kind of out of date with i5-3570, 8GB of DDR3 and 660TI, would replacing 660TI with 1050TI give a decent bump in performance?

Basically, $180 upgrade

[lofty light]

You would see better perf with the GPU but your CPU is pretty low for BFV

[untold sluice]

Yes I play with 1280x800 with everything off, and it is rough to play

If 1050 would let me play with 100 FPS with everything on low in 1280x800, I would be really happy

[latent light]

still a CPU bottleneck

BFV really needs either 6 cores or 8 threads to be somewhat smooth

[untold sluice]

Ahh I see

[latent light]

even 4 core CPUs like the 7600K and 8350K at 5 GHz will still stutter quite a bit

[lofty light]

8350K is still dual core

[latent light]

nah it's a quad core

8th gen saw higher core counts across all platforms

Pentium stayed as a dual core but it gained hyper threading

[lofty light]

Oh, I was sure it was a dual with hyper. Must've been thinking of the 7350k

[steep gust]

7350k is neat just because its the best dual core

8350k is garbage because it has no HT to beat the 7700k

[latent light]

I'd buy a 8350K if it was $100

but $150 nah

would get a 2600 over it

[latent light]

Oh god

I wonder if GN will mention it at all

[quartz isle]

Hello, when i launch the game in origin nothing happends, no error message or anything

[prime jasper]

restart, try again

[quartz isle]

i'm on it since few hours i've done that 30 times already ^^

[sour ivy]

Nvm it’s out for delivery today

[supple bane]

@quartz isle that happens to me when I haven’t installed the update, and considering there was a patch today. You might wanna make sure that it is downloaded, maybe try checking for updates

[quartz isle]

i did an update of 5 gb

and it says updated, ready to play

[violet plank]

try a repair

[steep gust]

@latent light https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i3-9350KF-vs-AMD-Ryzen-TR-2990WX/m775825vsm560423

[prime jasper]

what the absolute hell

[violet plank]

userfakemark

[steep gust]

Somehow a 8700k and a 9600k are equal

[swift eagle]

this site is scam this i3-9350kf is better in benchmark than i9-9940X XD

[supple bane]

well it used to be somewhat good

but they changed something and ruined it

it wasnt 100% accurate by all means. but it gave you some rough ideas on what a cpu performs like

[steep gust]

Better off using 3D Mark, etc

Which was always a better choice

[latent light]

[supple bane]

i think my emojis are broke

[violet plank]

they changed some algorthym for single thread performance and screwed up the whole shit iirc

before it was in some cases a useful site if you used your brain with it

[supple bane]

my main use was when people were having issues with there fps in games, and i didnt know what their cpu was, i would get a rough estimation on how it would perform in games which in turn helps diagnose

[sour ivy]

My new ram came but I’m still at work :/

[prime jasper]

lets hope one of us doesnt stop by to test your RAM for you :^)

[sour ivy]

Come thru

[steep gust]

@violet plank multicore got swapped to 2% weight and quad core is super high

So Skylake quad cores look fucking insane compared to Ryzen

[swift eagle]

Ryzen is future of games because new consoles will have more threads and game are made for consoles mostly sooo

[storm osprey]

iirc this and last gen cpus had high core counts and low speeds already

[swift eagle]

btw i did some more overclock to gpu

mostly vram speed

and now my game is playable

still got stutters because of cpu but 30-50fps isnt that bad on 1080p

[supple bane]

@swift eagle games are made on and for pc bud,

they then have to be optimised to even run on a console

[swift eagle]

but games are main to go to consoles

[prime jasper]

console exclusives yes

[supple bane]

but most games, 75% of the player base will be on pc

thats why most of the time, games will launch first on pc

so devs have more time to optimise for console

[swift eagle]

battlefield actually work better with more cores/threads than higher speeds

[supple bane]

https://tenor.com/view/nickyoung-questionmarks-what-excuseme-huh-gif-4486363

[swift eagle]

saw video where dude underclocked some i7 to and 1GHz and it worked almost same like with normal speeds

[supple bane]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand

your point?

[swift eagle]

that ryzen is good for games in long way

[supple bane]

that isnt just on bf anyway, any game/application isnt speed dependent anymore tho

but what does that have to do with a guy who underclocked his i7?

im litterally next level confused

[swift eagle]

that speeds doesnt matter much

[storm osprey]

i think thats his point, we are moving to more core dependant than speed

[supple bane]

oh

yes

i agree

[storm osprey]

a point to consider to support that is that consoles are following that as well

[swift eagle]

if you can get now 8c/16t cpu for 300$ now its good

[steep gust]

@swift eagle Not really, BFV has a limitation on its scaling and runs like shit on low frequency stuff

We are moving back into frequency

[supple bane]

well i didnt know that tbf

[steep gust]

It gets exponentially harder to make an application use more threads

And most people still use 4c 4t stuff

[swift eagle]

my i5 have same speeds like my old i3 but have 2 more cores and i can say it almost doubled fps

[steep gust]

Yes well it's not that simple

[supple bane]

it would help if you said the type of i5 too

[swift eagle]

3570

[steep gust]

8600k / 9600k

[supple bane]

alot of i3's will out perform an i5

[steep gust]

The only 6c i5

[storm osprey]

i asssume 4c vs 6c

[steep gust]

Yeah and a i3 7350k is better than a 3570

[supple bane]

but those cores arent the only thing that would have boosted fps

[steep gust]

DDR4

Frequency

IPC

[supple bane]

you may have had better single core performace too

[steep gust]

Probably more RAM overall

Hell yeah skylake has better single core over uh

That's Ivy right

[swift eagle]

i think

[steep gust]

Yeah ivy bridge

[swift eagle]

it have boost but on my some very bad mobo it never hit max speeds

[supple bane]

that isnt to do with the mobo either, that is most likely the cooler you hvae

[swift eagle]

it can be

[supple bane]

very unlikely.

[swift eagle]

temps are 85-90 so yeah

[supple bane]

well yes

that is why it isnt getting to max boost

not the mobo

[swift eagle]

it stop on 3.6GHz on all cores

sometimes even 3.7

but i think i never saw 3.8

[steep gust]

3.8 is the single core boost

[supple bane]

my advertised boost is 3.9. and i have only ever seen it reach that once

and it was for like a second

[swift eagle]

i never saw 3.8 on even one core

[quartz isle]

my game still doens't launch, anyone know how to fix ?

[crude storm]

my game still does not update

[crude storm]

327682:0 for f sake ...

[violet plank]

https://help.ea.com/battlefield

[latent light]

I got my 1600 at 3.8 GHz all core with stock cooler

[storm osprey]

IN texas

[latent light]

supposed next gen consoles CPUs leaked

Navi 10 lite, maybe won't even see RX 5700 performance on next gen

[coarse nimbus]

you seem surprised consoles wont even have midrange performance

[storm osprey]

5700 isnt mid range performance anymore

its mid range price

[supple bane]

isn’t that aimed at 1440p ?

[storm osprey]

but performance of these cards were high end a couple years ago

5700 should at least be on 1080 144hz

even then i would say its probably overkill unless you need max graphics

[supple bane]

I was watching ltt’s most recent video and i was so confused

you would have to watch it to understand but he had same ram and cpu as me, but instead of a 1060, a 1660ti

but in bfv only got around 5-10 FPS more

same settings as what I run too (all high)

[storm osprey]

honestly idk the difference between 1060 and 1660ti

performance wise

[latent light]

30% difference

1660ti compares to 1070

[supple bane]

strange

I do run with a relatively high clock rate on my gpu so I don’t know if that has anything to do with it

2.1 ghz

[storm osprey]

i would assume his test was not OC

[latent light]

overclocking with normal cooling doesn't make a big difference

[supple bane]

How come ? Because you can’t get enough thermal headroom to pump the clocks high enough to make a difference ?

[latent light]

usually in the range of 5-8%

lol articles are saying the new MSI B450 MAX boards are available but I don't see them anywhere

[latent light]

B450 max boards will have a new BIOS chip and better memory support

https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B450-TOMAHAWK-MAX/Overview

[sour ivy]

welp

me getting the new ram didnt help performance

game still runs like shit

[prime jasper]

you're positive you installed them in dual channel? you set teh XMP profile?

[sour ivy]

no xmp

i forgot

[prime jasper]

yeah that will help

[latent light]

@sour ivy does your board have 2 or 4 ram slots

If you have 4 slots, you have to put both sticks in the 2nd and 4th slots

[sour ivy]

@rough gulch is slot 2 closer or further from the cpu

[prime jasper]

@sour ivy consult your motherboard manual

[sour ivy]

thats a lot of work

[prime jasper]

...

[coarse nimbus]

are they color coded...

[sour ivy]

black and grey

[coarse nimbus]

black is one channel and gray is another

[steep gust]

not always

You get random companies that do random stuff so you check the manual every time

Not hard or time consuming to do

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sour ivy]

yeah its the right most one

[latent light]

Looking from left to right, its the 2nd and 4th slot

[sour ivy]

yup

thanks brother

[upbeat crypt]

thinking about getting Samsung 970 PRO M.2 NVMe 512GB Internal SSD
and trying out Windows 10
hmm CPU AMD FX-8350 20 °C Vishera 32nm Technology RAM 32.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 936MHz (11-11-11-28) Motherboard ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. M5A97 R2.0 (Socket 942) 25 °C Graphics VX238 (1920x1080@59Hz) SAMSUNG (1920x1080@59Hz) 8176MB ATI AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT (ATI)

[sour ivy]

8350

yikes

[prime jasper]

lol it will help

I have no idea what else you run a 5700xt on

[latent light]

@upbeat crypt that graphics card will be completely useless because of the CPU bottlneck

Fx-8350 will even bottleneck a GTX 1060

if you plan on keeping that CPU, just get a RX 570, that's the most you can get out of that CPU

[prime jasper]

it wouldnt be terrible at 1440p though

[latent light]

any Fx CPU will still have pretty bad 1% lows at higher resolutions

@upbeat crypt one last thing, that motherboard doesn't support M.2 NVMe

[upbeat crypt]

@latent light i currently have this https://www.amazon.ca/Kingston-HyperX-Predator-SHPM2280P2-240G/dp/B00V01C376

running W7 for the last few years

[prime jasper]

yeah you'll have to move on soon, win 7 is almost dead

[latent light]

I recommend anyone to not buy M.2 SSDs because you can get SATA SSDs for the same price with double the storage

[upbeat crypt]

well im not interested in storage i have 4 sata's already

just trying to see if i can squeak out more speed

[steep gust]

8350 is fine for overclocking

that's it

[upbeat crypt]

without going all out with a new mobo and cpu

[steep gust]

and not even for overclocking a daily

Literally just overclocking hard for benchmarks

[latent light]

ye

most users can only run 4.5-4.7 GHz daily

sometimes not even that

[upbeat crypt]

4.2 ish currently

Core 0 4213.3 MHz x 21.0 200.6 MHz 2407.6 MHz

but meh

[latent light]

it boosts to 4.2 out of box

[steep gust]

Someone managed like 5.8ghz on air with one

super not safe voltage

but still

[prime jasper]

you can also overclock the HT link

[upbeat crypt]

(i have liquid cooler)

[steep gust]

This was also a binned 8.5ghz+ reject

[prime jasper]

oof yeah youre missing out

[latent light]

if you plan on getting the RX 5700XT, I hope you plan on using it with a future CPU

[upbeat crypt]

i already have the 5700xt

[latent light]

oof

[upbeat crypt]

this is from speccy

[latent light]

[upbeat crypt]

i also have a 2070 geforce lol but it was doa anyway

[latent light]

damn

[upbeat crypt]

returned it lol

[latent light]

did you get a full refund

[upbeat crypt]

yes

[latent light]

so got your money back and got a RX 5700XT without paying extra

fair deal

although you got the reference 5700XT which has a weak cooler

[upbeat crypt]

https://www.newegg.ca/sapphire-radeon-rx-5700-xt-100416sr/p/N82E16814202341?Item=N82E16814202341&nm_mc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel&cm_mmc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel-_-Content-_-text-_-

got it from here

[latent light]

your 5700XT is only running at like RX 560 speeds because of the huge CPU bottleneck lol

even the RX 570 gets bottlenecked by the Fx-8350

[prime jasper]

if you really dont have the money to upgrade you need to get overclocking that sucker

[latent light]

and only get 3-5% more performance lol

not worth the extra heat and noise

[prime jasper]

better raid the piggy bank lol

[latent light]

he's playing on 1080p 60hz monitor

5700XT is future proof for 1080p 60 fps

but the Fx-8350 struggles with 60 fps in most new games lmao

[prime jasper]

yes indeed

[steep gust]

5700XT is garbage with the stock heatsink

[latent light]

his is probably running below 50% utilization anyway

[lofty light]

I mean it's easy enough to get a water cooler for the 5700XT down the line for a hybrid mod

[prime jasper]

or buy a busted 290 and bolt the cooler on

[sour ivy]

If I drop my red scale down 1

Will it be more cpu bound?

[prime jasper]

...what?

[latent light]

red scale lmao

[sour ivy]

Res

Autocorrect is autistic

[prime jasper]

keep it at 100

[latent light]

yeah dropping resolution scale puts less load on GPU and more on CPU

[charred geyser]

Anyone know why Origin is saying my BFV update is 31GB? That can't be right can it?

[latent light]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCH-i69Mlyw

gotta love the new rumors

128 CU vega

that would be ridiculously powerful

considering Radeon VII only has 60 CU

[swift eagle]

@charred geyser it only check your 31gb of game files update is 5gb or something

[glad saffron]

Anyone using a founders edition RTX? Do the fans always run or can you cut them completely on low load?

[supple bane]

I can’t get my gpu to seat properly in this new case

there is something blocking it

That’s as far in as it will go

It’s because of these prongs

There is no where for them to go, they just hit the motherboard tray

Anyone know why this is ?

[upbeat crypt]

@latent light @steep gust @prime jasper @sour ivy @lofty light I mean. If I was to upgrade to a lower end to mid range $$ wise mobo and a CPU that would actually be able to run the 5700XT properly, what would it even be? So many options man. and I wonder could I still run by 32GB of 1866 DDR3. I literally built this PC 3 years ago. Hard to say how its so outdated already. Originally I had a 390x gpu in it. But getting a new mobo and having to get all new ram and shit. Just not in my price range right now... Hmmm. Are there even any Mobo's for DDR3 that I can even get that would accomodate a more recent CPU? Also I am going to look into some Overclocking guides for this 8350. Sigh. Wish at the time I had of just got a board that wasnt AM3+, DDR3 etc. but I honestly did not know any better. lol.

[molten bramble]

There are DDR3 motherboards from China that can, but buyer beware.

@supple bane your motherboard standoff screws that it is mounted to maybe were too short, so the card can’t fit in the pocket? That’d be my guess. No real way to exceed tolerances, it either fits or it doesn’t.

[supple bane]

@molten bramble thanks for the advice, i just had to bend some flap out the way with some extra pliers

We lookin sick so far, just need to do some more cable management

[lofty light]

👌

[charred geyser]

@swift eagle yeah I just let it be for a while and it went down to the normal 5. Thanks!

[sour ivy]

But my cpu is a lot better than my gpu why not drop it down @prime jasper

[worn blaze]

Bfv and sli, is it officially possible?

[steep gust]

Yes

@upbeat crypt Yes there are some DDR3 Skylake boards, but its gonna be cheaper and easier to just buy ddr4

[random flax]

i update bf v and its finalizing over 20 mine

is that meant to be like that?

[slate ivy]

Let it run, finalizing can take a bit sometimes, if it really gets completely stuck, try clearing your origin cache (tho this could potentially result in having to redownload)

[prime jasper]

@upbeat crypt if youre really in a pinch you can look on ebay for mobo/cpu combos for ddr3 that are used, but basically any intel i7 or xeon would be better for gaming than what you have

[steep gust]

There is like

3 Z170 boards with DDR3 support

but its really niche support for some kits

[prime jasper]

@steep gust the older chipsets can sometimes take 6c/12t xeons which are much cheaper usually than HEDT equivalents

[steep gust]

and have shit gaming performance

[prime jasper]

better than 8350 lol

[upbeat crypt]

🤔

[steep gust]

That whole buy an Ivy / Sandy / Even older Xeon for a cheap gaming rig works great

up until you realize performance is literal shit

[upbeat crypt]

I live in shit ass CANADA too where everything is 1/3 to double the price of everything thats half the problem

Not really a good deal to be had

[steep gust]

uh even in CAD Zen / Zen + is getting really cheap

[worn blaze]

Yep in Canada everything is more expensive.. I can only agree, not to mention the shipping..

[prime jasper]

@upbeat crypt you try looking for used z97 chipset boards and seeing what comes up, they will take ddr3 and maybe they'll come with a decent cpu too

[steep gust]

Z97 is not cheap

[prime jasper]

hell if I know what the used market in our hat is like compared to new

[steep gust]

Any CPU from that era is gonna cost a lot

[prime jasper]

old decommissioned server xeons are all over ebay

much cheaper than EBIN GAYMING I7 BUY NOW

[steep gust]

again

those xeons are literal ass for gaming

[prime jasper]

bruh how is a 4c/8t xeon any worse than a 4c/8t i7 at the same clocks?

even on teh same arch

[steep gust]

architecture

and they don't clock the same

and yes a 4790k is not a good experience to game on anymore

and I think they are locked in that generation

[prime jasper]

sure beats an 8350 though

I dont see a difference https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/compare.html?productIds=75123,80913

[steep gust]

Maybe the fact it costs $200-400 in USD?

Its the same cost of a 4790k

and that was never a good budget cpu

[upbeat crypt]

[supple bane]

i fried my mobo

dont ask me how because i cant tell you

but there was smoke

[random flax]

my gtx 1070 died so i replace him as rtx 2060

and it better the the gtx 1070

[supple bane]

yes. yes it is. but only by a bit

[random flax]

ik

ik

i m playing at ultra no problam no even 1 lags drops only first luanch and that it its smooth

smooth

[sour ivy]

Yes sir

If 1600 people donate me 25 cents I can buy a 2060 super clock

[molten bramble]

@supple bane Looks solid!

[supple bane]

@molten bramble did you not see the message i sent about my motherboard ?

[molten bramble]

Oh shit!

Nah, hadn't read down that far yet.

[supple bane]

oof

[molten bramble]

So I am guessing you weren't grounded?

[supple bane]

no

rgb bit me back

my rgb header went boom

[molten bramble]

That sucks man.

Did you buy a warranty on the board?

[supple bane]

idk, if i can claim for it

becaues it was most likely user error

[steep gust]

never hurts to try

[molten bramble]

Some retailers will take it back regardless, they just mark it as factory fucked essentially.

[steep gust]

wait

Did you plug a higher voltage RGB cable into one of the low voltage ones

[supple bane]

not as im aware

[molten bramble]

I mean, I wouldn't offer up a lot of information on the return. They might be willing to work with you.

[steep gust]

That's called RMA fraud

and is uh agaisnt discord ToS to discuss

[molten bramble]

It's not fraud ding-dong, that's not what is being discussed.

[supple bane]

agreed

[steep gust]

You killed it

You avoid telling them you killed it

That's called fraud

[supple bane]

like you said, its worth a try i guess

[molten bramble]

You're looking to deep into things.

[steep gust]

no I'm not

He KILLED it

He can't return it

period

Don't be fucking shitty to retailers

[molten coral]

[molten bramble]

What I am saying is it's not worth going into the details of everything as to how you got to that point. Just explain that you plugged it in, it went poof, and you are wondering if you can get a replacement.

That's not fraud.

That's what happened.

[steep gust]

Most likely he plugged the wrong cable in

and fried it

which is user error

[molten bramble]

We don't know that, he clearly doesn't know that.

If the retailer cares, they'll ask.

[molten coral]

If that would happen to me and I know I was at fault I would still try it.

[steep gust]

well its glad that y'all have great standards

[molten bramble]

I took two different mobo's back to Microcenter, one was my fault for cooking it, the other came that way.

They didn't give a shit, took it right in and replaced it.

[steep gust]

Learn to accept you killed something

[molten coral]

I mean money is money and the end you still get fucked by retailers because they buy everything cheap and sell it for 50/80% more.

[steep gust]

not retailers

retailers have shit margins

[molten bramble]

You realize that a return doesn't impact their margin long-term right?

[steep gust]

You realize that its ILLEGAL

[molten bramble]

That's not how supply-chain logistics works.

[steep gust]

I don't care about how you think it works

[molten bramble]

LOL

Okay.

[molten coral]

lmao

[steep gust]

You kill something

That means the warranty is gone

You claim it just all the sudden died or something when you plugged it in

[molten bramble]

Anyways @supple bane just be real about it--there are any number of reasons the board cooked, not necessarily your fault. Just explain what happened and they'll make their determination. Hence what I said about seeing if they will work with you on it.

[steep gust]

The only way you kill something via RGB cables

[molten coral]

So who cares if it's illegal? I've done it a million times and saved hundreds if not thousand of euro's thanks to that but anyways

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[steep gust]

is via plugging the wrong voltage one in

Again Nacho

against discord ToS

[molten coral]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[steep gust]

and glad to see you have some uh

morals

[molten coral]

I could care less

[molten bramble]

@steep gust You're the only one that assumed someone was advising someone else to do something illegal.

Even after it was said that wasn't the case, you're still arguing the point.

LOL

[steep gust]

You do realize there are different voltage RGB cables?

[molten bramble]

Oh God..

[steep gust]

Your motherboard headers

don't give a shit

[molten bramble]

I'm done.

[steep gust]

I can draw 100v

it'll fry the board

but the header will let me

Now this might be hard for you to realize

But its damn easy to plug the wrong cable in

Which makes its USER error

and now the warranty is gone

That's hard to understand I guess

If you go and tell them exactly what happens, and then still get a new one. That's not illegal

If you go and tell them "oh it died IDK how" that's fraud

[molten bramble]

@supple bane So what else did you buy for the machine? Did you have anything else plugged in when the mb cooked?

https://www.newegg.com/amd-ryzen-threadripper-1920x/p/N82E16819113448 @steep gust

only $270 for a 12 core threadripper

would be a great buy for people who want to jump on the platform

[molten bramble]

You can, just go create one.

[sour ivy]

No u

[supple bane]

@molten bramble @steep gust turns out the board was damaged

After a close look I found two little things that I don’t know the name of, I would assume resistors, but they are completely melted and the pcb around them is burnt

[steep gust]

Check the rgb cable you plugged in

[supple bane]

Ik what I did

And I’m not going to say it as I will make my self look like a moron

ok

in laments terms, I plugged my power supply directly into my rgb header

I’m not going to explain how

As it is a long story

[sour ivy]

It just happened

[steep gust]

wait

4 pin to molex fan adapter into a rgb header?

[latent light]

[supple bane]

fine I’ll tell the story as fast as possible

I put the fans into the rgb header on the motherboard but they weren’t being detected in fusion and I had already been at this for a few hours and I was like fuck it I’ll just use the wired controller, but when I was gathering all the led connected at the back of the pc to put them into the wired controller, I also grabbed the one that went straight into the mobo and I didn’t notice

Turned it on

boom

it was sata power btw not molex

Because deepcool have a way to stop you using other products with their hubs and splitters with shit

So to use the led splitter, you need a special deepcool cable that goes from the motherboard into the splitter, but the end of that cable is the exact same as the ends on the leds for the fans

So I grabbed it expecting it to be a fan

[steep gust]

All i have to say is

oof

[latent light]

[supple bane]

I have a 240 mm rad to cool an i5 7400 now

full load I’m at 43 degrees

[steep gust]

and yeah you kinda killed the board there

[supple bane]

yup

Would you say the cpu would be dead ?

all the other components survived

I just can’t test the cpu as I don’t have a board for it and im like super anxious

[latent light]

Corsair might make motherboards and become a GPU partner in the future

[mystic crystal]

Hey guys i got a question

There is a GTX 1070 Zotac edition with 8gb 256bit and all the things the 1070 has

and a 1660 ti 6gb which is even slightly expensive

so according to performance the gtx 1070 is better

is it true?

and which one should be better off buying

[prime jasper]

@woeful crater

what is the manufacture and where did you find it

is it a msi gtx ore azus

[mystic crystal]

GeForce GTX1070 Zotac IceStorm 8GB GDDR5, HDMI/DP/DVI-D/256bit/ZT-

and

GeForce GTX1660Ti Gigabyte WINDFORCE OC 6GB GDDR6, HDMI/3xDP/192bit/GV-N166TWF2

[steep gust]

@supple bane CPU should be fine

vcore traces don't intersect the RGB stuff

i didnt even know nzxt made mobos

[cosmic warren]

anyone know easy way to have origin recognize installed BFV on my other drive?

without it redownloading my whole game which its done like 4 times wince I swap computers so much.

like it sees that i have the files installed and says ha I'm about to ruin this guys time and redownloads the whole bfv again

oh nvm thanks for everyones help

you can just right click locate and locate the game now like steam but even faster process then steam thank god.

i dont have to wait 1 hour 30 mins to download this piece of shiite game

[median cloak]

anyone having a weird twinkling or shiny graphic error in bf5 rn? everytime i boot it up it looks like theres twinkling stars everywhere

[supple bane]

that might be an issue with your gpu

weird effects and glitches tend to happen when you gpu is dying iirc

[median cloak]

figured it out. oc was too high. ty though

[steep gust]

@supple bane they don't

Its an OEM board with their logo and some plastic shit on it

[latent light]

[supple bane]

fair enough

[steep gust]

At least everyone else does some mild custom stuff

PCBs are cheap

[latent light]

how expensive is a PCB with PCIe 4.0 quality connections

[random flax]

does dx12 should be on with rtx 2060

?

[steep gust]

DX12 works on uh

Maxwell and above iirc

@latent light Its the switches that is expensive

[supple bane]

erm. so. i killed my motherboard. and i need a new one, any suggestions, needs to be am4 in micro atx form factor. under 120 dollars

oh and it needs to have an rgb header

[violet plank]

i hate this guy,really lost so many hours studying his tables

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wmsTYK9Z3-jUX5LGRoFnsZYZiW1pfiDZnKCjaXyzd1o/edit#gid=2112472504

and still can't decide on a mobo lol

[latent light]

@supple bane get a B450 MAX motherboard when they come out

[latent light]

So apparently you can't use a USB drive with more than 32GB to flash a BIOS or boot into an OS because anything above 32GB can't use FAT32

[coarse nimbus]

take that 1%ers of flash drives 😤

[steep gust]

just uh

make a partition with fat32

[supple bane]

@latent light whats the release date on that ? and could you link me to a vid or something, im struggling to find anything

[steep gust]

Do you need Zen 2 support out of the box?

[supple bane]

atm. i think my most likely choice is the ASRock B450M Steel Legend

no

i have a 2600

[steep gust]

Then don't worry about the B450 max boards

[supple bane]

the steel legend matches my needs perfectly

[latent light]

B450 max will be priced the same as regular B450, so why not

[steep gust]

its a bios update

better cost the same

[latent light]

also better memory support

[steep gust]

That comes with Zen 2 CPUs + new BIOS

[latent light]

yeah because Zen 2 IMC right

"And while the original motherboards officially housed DDR4 memory modules up to 3,466 MHz, the latest MAX motherboards can support memory speeds up to 4,133 MHz."

I wouldn't be disappointed if they labelled these B450 MAX boards as B550 lol

[steep gust]

well its not

[latent light]

B550 won't be much better

probably the same memory support

there is also small cosmetic changes between some B450 and MAX boards

color of the heatsinks

[violet plank]

bleh,availability of good 2x16gig sticks is such a pain in the ass

[supple bane]

but why do you need 32 gb of ram?

are you just gaming ?

[violet plank]

look at bfv,using already 12 gigs

for the game only

maybe in a year or 2 won't be enough anymore for some

[supple bane]

rn 32 is too much for a usual gaming system

16 is plenty for gaming and streaming

[violet plank]

and i do photo editing and on some rare cases video enconding

i don't stream tho

no idea if that sucks any more ram

[supple bane]

but even then, your never going to use 16 gb of ram

[violet plank]

lol have you ever edited raw photos ?

[supple bane]

no but im assuming it wont use 16gb

[violet plank]

32 gigs is like not enough

or the bare minimum

those files are huge

and for some reasons 32 gigs is cheaper than 16

[supple bane]

ye there is something wrong there m8

you are probs looking at different speeds

[violet plank]

like if you double the 16gig price

i just want 2x16 gigs 3600 cl 16 16 16 34

hard af to find here

preferable without rgb lol

that's even harder to find,anything has rgb

like really anything lul

and i'm using an isolated closed case

[supple bane]

i do buy rgb stuff, but i dont have it on like, gay pride mode, my theme is white and cyan, my case is white, and all my fans and my pump is on cyan

i also have a white keyboard with the backlights on syan

and some led stips under my desks on cyan

[violet plank]

well i can't see anything in my case,no windows at all,so wasted money with rgb

[latent light]

your motherboard isn't white

[supple bane]

https://tenor.com/view/hmmm-wth-gif-13938292

[latent light]

I really hope they come out with a B550 tomahawk arctic

[steep gust]

@violet plank 3600 16-16-16-36 is not a common bin

[violet plank]

4x8 would be easy to get,but there is only 1 x570 t-top board,and that sucks

[steep gust]

yikes that heatsink

[latent light]

isn't it 16-18-18-38

[steep gust]

That would probably be cjr

but yeah no reason to pay a bunch for b-die

if you ain't gonna memory overclock

[latent light]

16-18-18-38 3200 is very common

[steep gust]

The difference between 3200cl14 and 3600cl16 is uh

not a lot

but in price it is

[latent light]

my motherboard can't handle my memory at stock

[supple bane]

thinking about it now you said it grim, i should see if i can find an arctic mobo

[latent light]

don't get B350

[violet plank]

the qlv is 16 16 16 36

[latent light]

although B350 is the only white Ryzen boards out there

[violet plank]

of the boards i'm looking at

[supple bane]

what is wrong with b350?

[violet plank]

price difference is actually about the same here

[steep gust]

QVL is worthless

[violet plank]

some 3600 are even cheaper lol

[steep gust]

Everyone but Corsair uses the same general PCBs

[latent light]

B350 just doesn't have good support, bad overclocking in general

[steep gust]

and everyone uses the same ICs

[violet plank]

i never ever buy corsair ram

[latent light]

B350 can only do 2933 MHz memory

some can only do 2800

and some unlucky people can do only 2666

[supple bane]

you do realise i only have 2133

[latent light]

2133 with ryzen

why

[violet plank]

enable xmp !

[supple bane]

i did!

and it didnt do anythign !

[violet plank]

so you did it wrong

[supple bane]

i am for some reason stuck at 1000 mhz

and i cant get past it

[violet plank]

or you really have crappy ram ?

[supple bane]

ironically

crapsair ram

[violet plank]

[supple bane]

this is what i am stuck at

[violet plank]

now that sucks lol

[latent light]

1066x2 = 2133

so you are running at 2133

[supple bane]

hmm

i didnt know it worked like that

[violet plank]

that's low in 2019,like lowest of low for ddr4

[supple bane]

no no

[latent light]

yeah that's like 800 on DDR3

[supple bane]

some ddr4 goes into high 1ghz

like 1900 or some crap

[violet plank]

there is nothing below 2133 for dd4 iirc

that's the base spd speed

[supple bane]

there is, i promise

[latent light]

starts at 2133, ends at 4600

[supple bane]

well i have been lied to by amazon

[violet plank]

exactly as grim says

[supple bane]

im not gonna mess around with my bios on this temporary board to try and get the clocks up

because i might have to do it again

if you dont know, i blew my motherboard up. quite litterally, so im using a temporary one

a mini itx mobo in an atx case

looks stupid

[violet plank]

2 x 16 gig 16 16 16 36 cheaper than 2 x 16 gig 14 14 14 34 ,but both out of stock and no info on next delivery

[violet plank]

well,2-4 weeks,that's like,we don't know,just wanted to put something in there

[supple bane]

its cute!

doesnt even cover the motherboard tray as you can see on the right of it

[violet plank]

it's small

[supple bane]

i stuffed the 24 pin down the hole the motherboard is meant to cover

[violet plank]

i always go for big towers,i need space,and it's under my desk anyways

that kinda looks like a cube

[steep gust]

@supple bane DDR literally stands for double data rate

[latent light]

[steep gust]

2133 is the effective clock

@violet plank There is an 1866 JEDEC bin IIRC

[latent light]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/8wNypg/inwin-101-white-atx-mid-tower-case-101-white

is this case bad

[steep gust]

its not great

solid front panel

I can't do side intake since my computer sits beside a wall

[supple bane]

there is very complicated too

i like simple

thats why i like the h500 so much

[coarse nimbus]

top mount psu...what is this the 90s?

[supple bane]

i know people that wont buy a case if it doesnt have a disk reader

[strange lichen]

I can't find a good case with a proper front panel

[supple bane]

well. what do you mean by propper front panel

[strange lichen]

The NZXT cases have their USB and power buttons on the top and have no external bays

But they look really nice

[supple bane]

kinda like every single case on the market ?

almost all cases use that design

[strange lichen]

You mean USB on the top instead of the front

[supple bane]

well on the top corner yes

[strange lichen]

I have my computer on my desk

So having USB on top of the case would be inconvenient

[supple bane]

well good luck finding one that has a different design

oh wait, i do know a case thats front io you could move around the side panel, but i dont remember the name of it

[strange lichen]

What do you mean move around to the side panel

That's not what I'm saying

I'm saying that I want front io that's on the front panel instead of the top panel

[supple bane]

No I’ll try to find it

[strange lichen]

The NZXT cases have their io on the top

[supple bane]

It will work for you trust me

cooler master master box q300p

look at a pic

You can see the front io is kinda on the side

And you can take it off and move it to top, left, bottom etc

[strange lichen]

I don't need that

I just need front io on the front instead of on the top

[steep gust]

then buy a case like that

[sour ivy]

Best case under 45 dollars?

Or 50

[supple bane]

Cases that cheap are going to equally suck

just get the one that looks nicest

[sour ivy]

Mines front ports don’t work anymore

[latent light]

my friends 3600X only gets to 47C under full load stock with 360mm AIO

that's with PBO enabled

when he turned boost off, it's at 3.8 GHz at only 1.1v and max temp under full load is 34C

[steep gust]

3600x should only do like 140w max

[latent light]

it seems to reach it's max clock speed at stock

he can't get higher manually overclocking

it goes to 4.3 GHz all core stock

his cinebench R15 score is 1645

with CL16 3200 ram

[latent light]

https://youtu.be/wQCxZa2qfko?t=508

dude pulled the cooler off and it took the CPU with it, assumed it's designed like that

[prime jasper]

lmao its convenient

[supple bane]

They should start making low end internet browsing chips like that tbf

With it just built into the stock cooler

Also grim that cinebench of the 3600x seems low

my 2600 got 1500 iirc

[pallid silo]

Saw that the ryzen 7 1700 when overclocked uses a lot more power is it worth to OC it

Not gaming only streaming and premier pro

[steep gust]

Dual socket boards are generally garbage for gaming

and a lot of other workloads

[steep gust]

with how cheap TR4 got

The only time you need to go dual socket for a lot of cores is heavy budget

You can buy 15c Xeons for $80 off of ebay, and a $150-200 dual socket board

60 threads for $500-600

[supple bane]

but as it has been demonstrated before. more doesnt always mean better when it comes to cores and threads, especially in gaming, and in work loads too

[steep gust]

yes well if all you need is a VM box

then its great

No one is buying dual socket boards and xeons for gaming

[random flax]

umm i have rtx 2060
i switch my gtx 1070 bc its was broken
does i need to enable settings in bf v? like dx12 or somthing like whice settings

?

[supple bane]

no

[random flax]

cuz idk i have the gpu memory on

idk if i should turn of or not

[supple bane]

https://tenor.com/view/nickyoung-questionmarks-what-excuseme-huh-gif-4486363

you cant just turn your gpu's memory off

ill assume you mean gpu memory restriction. and to that i say, it doesnt make a difference at all

all it does is lower the chances of a crash. but even then. it doesnt really do much of that either

[random flax]

ok

XD

[supple bane]

@rigid nacelle

[rigid nacelle]

Interesting, usually mobos can detect a random surge of power like that and shut down but I know what you mean, my AIO is from Deepcool as well

[supple bane]

what one you got ?

[rigid nacelle]

Captain 240Ex RGB

[supple bane]

oh ye, i have the gammax l240

[steep gust]

@rigid nacelle He put 3.3v down something that is only suppose to supply voltage

Motheboards do not have any kind of OVP on headers, you can draw 100v through one if you want

[supple bane]

well i doubt that, it would just melt

i have seen 16v make metal glow lol

[steep gust]

It would trip PSU OVP

but your motherboard would allow it

[supple bane]

yes it would allow it, but it still wouldnt survive on any means

im glad that the resistor did fail tbf. because if it let that power pass it could have done so much more damage

that was what caught fire btw, a resistor

[rigid nacelle]

Most modern motherboards do, yes. ASUS mobos since like 2014 do, and they also have the OVP post codes on most mobos

[steep gust]

uh this is headers

not some fancy magical thing, they supply what is drawn

I know I can easily overload my fan headers on both my Asus boards

[supple bane]

well i have 6 fans on one header atm

so

[steep gust]

If you plug the wrong RBG cable into a header, it will destroy the cable / header

[rigid nacelle]

What I’m saying is most motherboards will still alert you to this, which is why the OVP post codes exist lol

[steep gust]

OVP applies to CPU, etc

I know this because my motherboard throws OVP if I set 1.56 vcore

1.55 works

[supple bane]

im just super anxious of my cpu ffs

i couldnt sleep last night thinking about it

lol

[steep gust]

and I just checked my Asus manual, no post codes on any of the protections

The CPU should be fine*

[supple bane]

but its the SHOULD that worries me

like you said, the rgb track doesnt intercept the cpu tracks but still

3.3v to a cpu would be insta death if it did somehow get to it

[steep gust]

The power planes shouldn't intersect at all

So unless something really fucked up

[supple bane]

we are talking about giggle byte here just saying lol

i dont understand why the whole mobo is dead from one resistor tho

like, i understand the rgb not working lol, but it doenst make sense for everything to be dead

[steep gust]

A lot of VRM controllers start up on 3.3v

If you blew the rail stuff won't start

[supple bane]

well i have a pretty cool story to tell and a trophy to go with it i guess

i say cool like im not a fucking idiot

i blame it on deepcool for making all the connectors the same

fooling me into thinking it was a fan

[supple bane]

i think something else got damaged, my pc just keeps shutting down and rebooting as soon as i try to play games

anyone know why this might be ?

i either think that it is my ram or it is my psu

[violet plank]

i had a psu that blew up once,guess it was sending a last surge through my mobo,everything fried on it including ram and cpu

well not everything,the gpu survived somehow lol

tested the ram modules on another machine with memtest 86 afterwards,2 of 4 sticks not readable at all,the other 2 just calculated garbage

if you can boot to windows check your ram with memtest86

my guess,your mobo has some fried circuits

if your cpu was damaged it wouldn't even boot

and you can read out your power flows of the psu in the mobo bios

a good bios would alert you anyways if there was something wrong

with voltage or whatever

like unstable

[supple bane]

i think i may have found my issue btw

[violet plank]

i'm so pissed that they fucked up the asrock taichi layout ...

[supple bane]

i had a super high overclock on my gpu

i completly forgot about it

[violet plank]

omg

[supple bane]

i am yet to test it, but fingers are crossed

[violet plank]

did you hit yourself for that at least ?

[supple bane]

i took my rad off and everything so i could swap out ram

when i was changing it i realised i had an overclock and i screamed ffs i am an idiot

[steep gust]

your GPU overclock doesn't stop from booting

[supple bane]

it was booting

[steep gust]

Depends on how you did it

Driver or software level

[supple bane]

as soon as i launched a game it would just instantly crash

but like

whole pc crash

[reef pasture]

F

[supple bane]

ok it wasnt overclock

i crashed again as soon as i launched bf

it seems to be only bf

im gonna try a bunch of other games, one sec

ok i lied

everything seems to be crashing

[violet plank]

install cpuid hwmonitor

i bet you didn't check your voltages yet as i told you

[supple bane]

I’m doing the more obvious stuff first back off for a sec

every time I want to try a different ram slot, I have to take my radiator off due to clearance

So it’s gonna take a while

[violet plank]

did you ran memtest86 ?

so much you can do before even touching any hardware

[supple bane]

i took out a ram stick and got this pop up

what would this mean ?

and as soon as i sent that message i blue screened

[steep gust]

unstable memory

[supple bane]

ok thanks

so my issue is most likely ram ?

or like 100%ram?

[steep gust]

It could be RAM

could be CPU

Sounds like RAM

[supple bane]

ik the cpu works

aight

[supple bane]

and i quote, "im doing the more obvious stuff, then ill try all this" and im still doing that" i was just trying to be nice and not just rejecting his help

So my new build is coming in the mail. Excited to put it together!

• ASUS AM4 TUF Gaming X570-Plus (Wi-Fi) ATX Mobo
• AMD RYZEN 7 3700X 8-Core 3.6 GHz (4.4 GHz Max Boost) Socket AM4 65W
• Sapphire Radeon RX 5700 XT 8GB GDDR6 PCI-E HDMI / TRIPLE DP (UEFI)
• Samsung 970 EVO Plus Series - 1TB PCIe NVMe - M.2 Internal SSD
• Cooler Master MasterBox MB530P ATX Mid-Tower w/ 3 x Tempered Glass Panel
• Corsair Hydro Series, H115i PRO RGB, 280mm CPU Cooler
• Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600)
• Seasonic PRIME Ultra 1000W 80+ Gold PSU, Full Modular, 135mm FDB Fan w/Hybrid Fan Control

$2700 CAD.

Plus I just have some regular Sata drives for storage from my previous PC.
(FX-8350, R9 390x, Asus M97a R2.0, NZXT Lexa S, Kingston HyperX Predator M.2, 32 GB of Kingston HyperX DDR3 1866 etc.)

Anyways, stoked. After posting here someone said I was really bottle necking with my old CPU and Mobo so.
You know, I told myself my next build was going to switch to Intel. But idk man.

But I gotta say, it really errks my how fast time flies, and, in how short of a time computers become so behind tech wise. I dropped like $3500 on my old build just 4 years ago... to me thats a lot. I'm poor and have to save up for months for this haha. Then I'm seeing CPU's for $900 and want to cry. hahahhaa. I wish I was rich.
Anyways excited to finally run BFV smooth as butter. It actually doesnt run all too badly already even with 2015 tech lol.

[lofty light]

Same mobo as I'm getting, looks real good man 👌

Actually same ram too

[upbeat crypt]

@lofty light great minds 😉

[supple bane]

Build sounds top notch man

[supple bane]

i personally would have waited for the 3rd party version of the 5700xt as the normal one has a sucky cooler

[lofty light]

Same, unless I had a spare AIO to stick on it

I love water-cooled cards

[hoary ember]

guys i have rx 590 and r5 2600

i want to upgrade my gpu next year

should i upgrade my cpu too

[supple bane]

no

well, what do you plan on upgrading too ?

and why lol? the 590 is perfectly fine

[hoary ember]

someone is going to give me 2k monitor

[supple bane]

oh.

cough 5700xt

that gpu is 1440p beast mode

[hoary ember]

u sure 2600 can handle it

[supple bane]

let me tell you something. a.) 2600 is a great cpu and will handle 1440p np b.) the higher resolution you go the less cpu power you need and the more gpu power you need. if you are going to 1440p you arent going to need all that much cpu, but tons of gpu

[hoary ember]

oh ok bru

thx

[upbeat crypt]

@supple bane im gonna watch temps. maybe an aftermarket gpu cooler when one is available for this gpu?

i also only run 1080p

[quaint topaz]

Been playing around with Artificial Lighting recently and man I wish I can get RGB on a founders edition card.https://i.imgur.com/xnCmhRp.png

[supple bane]

does look pretty sweet

[untold sluice]

Narrowed down a budget video card for my small upgrade. Anyone have opinion on the follow two cards?

vs.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077VX31FZ/

[molten bramble]

I don’t use Radeon, bad experiences in the past with performance, couldn’t help ya there.

[untold sluice]

the MSI RX 570 vs. XFX RX 570

ahh ok

[molten bramble]

I am sure someone here can though.

[untold sluice]

I was considering 1050 ti, but lots of the review sites compared 1050 ti with RX 570 and found 570 more cost effective

[prime jasper]

yeah rx570 is definitely the better pick of the two

[molten bramble]

I have the 1050Ti as a secondary card now, but you’re better off picking up the 1660Ti—definitely worth the difference in price.

Like, night and day difference in terms of performance.

There is a site that compares GPUs by performance and value with a sort of live pricing index. I’ll see if I can find the link in a bit.

[untold sluice]

I thought about 1660TI, but my CPU is i5-3570K and 8 GB of ram - I feel like 1660TI is probably going to be dragged down by the rest of the system

I will bump the memory to 16 GB too with this upgrade, but if I want a better CPU I will have to change MB

[prime jasper]

really at that point you should probably be saving for a cpu/mobo/ram combo, which you can get for about the same price as a gpu upgrade

[molten bramble]

^

[untold sluice]

yes that is true

[molten bramble]

I’d start with the base system first.

pcpartpicker site can give you an idea on how far your money can take you

Lot of budget builds on that site.
