when it says it like this
what about the prebuilt computers from "Golden Computer Arcade" @marsh gull . Amazon prebuilt computers are bad as well as their machines
MMvision if you know it
why 1650 tho...
I have a liquid cooled from I buy power never had any issues
SUPER XTREME GAMUR PCPC 200000 GB WITH RTX 50000000
What system are you looking at specifically on that site?
lol anyway. budget ram sticks are bad
yeah
they like rgb
I went to the shops directly to get own parts separately when i was travelling
super is better value
ended up getting a $100 discount
pog
and i was stupid enough to bring my monitor and my M-ATX tower to my luggage
AMD Ryzenβ’ 5 5600X a good processor? instead og the i7 11700f that might be overkill?
brought a matx tower case in a luggae π
whats da case tho?
what graphics card?
3060 or the ti version
yes
5600x is legit the best gaming CPU, you should only get the i7 11700 for workstation related stuff.
cant remember which one
lol then ill get the 5600x
For gaming it is GREAT!
NICE
brb, need to check something.
coz i got that a few years ago
Ti
3060 Ti, nice.
@woeful kelp Lmao I am sooo wrong.
Get the 11700f if you can, not the Ryzen 5 5600x.
the problem is that... it is cheaper to get parts from overseas coz we have to pay for 10% tax for everything
so i went to Hong Kong and got everything i needed almost 6 years ago
Ryzen 5 5600x gets beaten by the i7-11700 CPU
Personally... i would get the non F version
coz it is always better being able to do hardware diagnostics
Yeah, just spend a lil more on that in-case your GPU ever fails on you lol.
hmm just saw a other video of them compared (5600x and i7-11700f) and its like 5-10 fps difference
like... if your desktop has failed or GPU has failed. You can still use your machine
i7-11700 is a better pick if the 5600x is somehow more expensive than the 11700f
otherwise, it's the other way around.
what about the board
Yeah you should talk about the motherboard as well.
The 5600x is about $110 cheaper.
The motherboard for the i7-11700 is more expensive than a B450 or B550 motherboard.
Because Z490 or Z590 are hella expensive.
I'd get a 570 motherboard if I went with the 5600x
The name of the motherboard is: Asus TUF B550M-E Gaming
i would get a 5600x with a b450 mb and put the savings into a better gpu
Not a bad board, go with it.
I think you need to do a bios update before using it.
Derek, are you an actual aussie?
yeah
That board is around $140
Asus ROG Strix 550W 80plus gold, does this PSU go well with everything else?
i remember our medium-high tier b450m boards were around 70AUD
Nice to see another aussie here, hell yeah.
Bro, they're like above 100 now bruh.
Or I think thats the new B550 models uh.
get an i5 11400f or a i5 10400f
than if you saved 110USD and 70AUD... maybe you an get a better GPU
I prefer intel tho tbh.
i like intel but i don't like they always change their mb design
Yeah it's stinky.
and the last gen cpu wasn't "compatible" to the newer board
I bought a B460 a month before they released the B560 motherboards π
i got x570 instead
I am now satisfied with my B560m Aorus Pro motherboard, it is an excellent motherboard that allows my RAM to overclock.
i paid a premium for my parts coz i wanna use it for 5-6 years at least
their intel Z range motherboard is costing too much
Premium from where? What place?
i got my ram from umart
I usually buy my stuff off of PCCaseGear, Centrecom, etc.
Ah Umart, I bought my RAM sticks there.
i paid 255 for 3000mhz 32gb ram (2x16GB)
Lockdown is is pretty shitty so these delivery for PC components made it worse.
and the price goes down a lot afterward
Damn, 255, alrighty.
that was 7months before lockdown
You're doing more than just.. gaming right?
Video editing on the current machine
Nice, what'd you do for a living?
but i preferred 32GB of ram coz 16gb isn't enough for gaming... i play cities skylines
I am thinking of upgrading my 16gb of RAM to 32gb of RAM for video game development in the future.
i'm a uni student
Srsly?
16GB is enough for all games out there.

it was on loading screen tho. i was gaming with my main card and using my 2nd gpu for background tasks
wait up
I can see that you have an RTX 2070 Super, that's hella good.
And a GT 960? Oh.
cant be bothered to type in
Bro sick setup, like it. Damn buying the SSDs must've been expensive.
it was cheap tho
Cheap how lol?
i think the 870 EVO 1TB was like 104AUD
I can see them being sold above $100.
but i got it for 114 or something
Wait is this a m.2 NVME ssd or one of those SATA SSDs?
Because I went with a shitty priced Seagate Barracuda 512gb SSD for $98 π
This was before I started learning a lot about PC components.
So I ripped myself off during that time.
i reckon samsung is always better except for the Samsung 980 (980, not pro)
Yeah they're the best quality SSDs out there.
if you want a archive drive, go for seagate expansion 4TB for 90AUD
Although I wanna save up, I am thinking of getting a 1tb SSD at one point.
that is a barracuda 4TB inside the case. it does the job for storing data
Maybe at the end of the year when pricing is much better, because thats where I bought most of my PC components.
Man I was lucky to buy my GTX 1660 at $320 before it's pricing skyrocketed to like $600+
Now at the end of the year, I am hoping to get an RTX 3060 Ti or 3070 at least.
i saw the 3070 was like 1144 AUD
Where?
I checked PCPP (if you know that), that some variants of the RTX 3070 Ti is cheaper than a 3070 lol.
Like the Inno3D RTX 3070 Ti is cheaper than it's 3070 variant.
pccasegear was doing a terrible job shipping to where i used to live
so maybe I should go with that instead of a normal 3070.
Oh they're excellent for me.
I hate their GST Tax shit though, pricing stuff for $80 more, like what?
I live in Metropolitan Melbourne, btw.
So their shipping is π
i was using inno3d like 15-20 years ago
Damn, you're old lmao.
not great but not too bad
coz my dad gave me a desktop when i was a kid
so i'm 24 this year
Awesome dad you have.
Damn i'm 19, how is life in your 20s man?
I feel legit lost rn.
tired but going for uni so i can get a job after the pandemic
Yeah good idea.
i heard PCCG is great unless you live in VIC
Oh, opposite for me.
coz it used to cost so much to ship up north to where i live
i mean i used to live
like $16 for auspost option and 29 for the case
have you bought things at centrecom before?
it is fine
i bought the MX300 from centrecom. they used to have free shipping for >50
What's an MX300?
CRUCIAL MX300 SSD
oh an SSD, alright.
IIRC i paid for 104 (w/ shipping) or something for a 275GB
Bruh.
it is a TLC SSD tho. i bought it like 5 years ago
You're not using that anymore?
still using it today
Oh lol.
but i use it for my other machine
Alright, awesome talking to you man. Have a good one π
I'm gonna go play GTA online rn.
Wanna send a friend request? It was cool to talk to you again.
Mb, it would be cool to see you again'
Oh nvm, have a good one.
err I don't add friends on discord nor in game, including GTA V or origin. Will always be in the chat
It's all goods.
OK
If there wasn't a shortage and it was still priced at $379 MSRP it would be DOA lol
It should be $249 imo
Or $299 at most
Yeah
I think its a good replacement to the RX 580
Its a little bit faster than a RTX 3060
Surprisingly, given it only has a 128-bit memory bus
I think the 32MB Infinity Cache is what saves its performance
Hackers might release confidential information from Gigabyte servers Last week Gigabyte confirmed that hackers had breached the security of the companyβs servers. The company was quick to take action and the attack had no effect on the operation of the company, a representative had confirmed to UDM.Β Hackers have breached the security of Gigabyt...
Gigabyte been fucking up a lot lately
Oof
I bought a Gigabyte motherboard and GPU, both have issues
Their 750W PSU has been exploding on people
And now this
Turn it on in Bios
And coincidentally its a gigabyte motherboard
XD
I did
Well, i got the option of Disabled and Auto
I didn't have time last night to mess about more
My gigabyte board has been working fine
Z390 aorus pro
I should have the necessary bios update on it
All USB ports on my Gigabyte AB350-Gaming 3 only work at 2.0 bandwidth despite having 3.1gen2 and 3.0
I have F33h installed, and they introduced ReBAR in F32 version
Ill update to latest bios first
Manually setting up RAM in BIOS is glitchy
What gpu do you have?
Cuz it was disabled either way
@plain stag What gpu?
3070ti
oh yeah
I'll prob work with newer bios
For whatever reason, they removed that bios version from the download page
Check your system setup in nvidia control panel
Do you have Precision X1
Do you have it installed already?
You can also use nvflash
You have to have it to enable BAR
Its a palit 3070ti
It's nice that i can save the vbios in their tool
Yeah
Thats why i asked if x1 can update non evga cards
I'll install the newer bios first, and then I'll see if i have to mess about with vbios
It doesn't seem to help much though, especially at lower resolutions.
Eh, might as well and enable it
Let me know how it goes.
should i be worried about ''power reporting deviation''
?
it says it is %65 right now

On youtube there's a video and at ultra you'll get 58-71 FPS
At 1080p
i5-10300H is a laptop CPU
Personally I would look for something with 16GB of RAM
i9-12900K could cost $800, i7-12700K about $450
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKHmDJ6hE1E I would say this is a good video to see what you would get
Hi Friends Welcome To PC Support & Gaming Test.
In This Video I Will Show You GTX 1650 Laptop + i5-10300H | Test in 15 Games in 2021 - ASUS TUF F15.
System Specifications:-
β LAPTOP: ASUS TUF F15 FX506LH-HN258T
β CPU: Intel Core i5 10300H 4 Cores 8 Threads (Base:- 2.50 GHz, Boost:- 4.50 GHz)
β RAM: 16GB Dual Channel Upgraded Ram 2933 Mhz (Upgr...
I'd say 16GB RAM is the recommended for 2042
Just look if you can upgrade the RAM to 16GB in dual channel (2 sticks)
if I've to believe that video it seems to be fine for most things
yeah it still is
been decent for a long time
more than xbox series X and ps5 (xsx has 16 GB, but this is still shared between cpu/gpu as its an apu) though theirs has more bandwidth
well
10GB is high speed and 6GB is average
2GB of the slow memory reserved for OS
I hear games can still make use of the full 8 cores on consoles
but yeah you'd still have more memory in a desktop, though lower bandwidth
The 10GB is used mainly for VRAM iirc
"From a game developer's perspective, we expect a lot of them to actually stick with the eight cores because their current games are running with the distribution often set to seven cores and seven worker threads,"
hm
so it can allow 8
but game devs use 7 normally
Which is why XSX is pretty good at 4K, since the VRAM has a high memory bus
well its both vram and ram
Navi 21 is held back by its memory bus at high resolution
though it'd constantly swap out
"And so for them to go wider, for them to go to 14 hardware threads, it means that they have the system to do it, but then, you have to have workloads that split even more effectively across them. And so we're actually finding that the vast majority of developers - talking with them about the their choices for launch - the vast majority are going to go with the SMT disabled and the higher clock."
old game engines go brr
So most game engines prefer 7 cores without multithreading at higher clocks
yeah, navi 21 could use more bandwidth, was surprised at launch that nvidia had more bandwidth since previously it was other way around
most games are also still designed around the weaksauce jaguar
Does Jaguar have the 4 module = 8 cores controversy?
i thought it is 8 broken "cores"
Nah it's 2 cores in each module that share the same resources
yeah they lost lawsuit over that
so they show up as 3 and 4 core now
The didn't lose lawsuit they just came to an agreement
They probably would have won lol
could, i dunno
didnt really matter in the end i guess
since ryzen is a massive jump over previous
Zen4 could bring that same jump
i mean they can still hold up.
yeah, but comparatively
Have a 20000mah powerbank, the maximum I can get on a plane which seemed handy.
isnt 1600af zen+
it might be actually.
iirc it is
i dont see many ryzen 1600 users anymore
it is heavy as a brick... but 60000mah is just massive..
i got a 87w powerbank
it has low battery life even with a low power cpu and no dedicated gpu
so it can output up to 87w with a single cable
its a ryzen 3700U and no dedicated gpu
so doesn't take much power, though battery is tiny
it is massive...
mine is just 12000 but has solar panel
Same
20000mah is heavy enough
Solar panel only 2 watts
and a cigarette starter
Lol
Mine has a decent flashlight
6600XT proves how well RDNA2 scales as you lower core count and resources
yeah it seems ok
It would still do well even with 64-bit memory bus lol
Yeah I hope to see the 6600XT under $300 in the next year
hello, do you think that with a gtx 1060 6gb graphics card it runs well battlefield 2042?
don't know
Currently there are no official PC specifications released by DICE for the full release of Battlefield 2042.
It should but not very well
noone knows yet, but we'll find out
I'd expect 1080p low/medium settings for 60 fps
Tbh low-end PC gaming is becoming more and more redundant
Welcome to buying a PC in 2021 π
uses same power as a gtx 1080, the top end card of 2016
Navi 2 averages under what TDP suggests
not 6600xt
hits tdp pretty spot on
not that its super high but
just funny to think that the low/mid now uses same as a top end card in 2016
with gtx 1070 msrp
Companies are pushing silicon harder out of box
Still 2x the msrp
GTX 1650 costs as much as a PS5 digital lmfao
as the msrp of it
but good luck finding any ps5 at msrp
only console in stock here is series S, i guess not many wants it
Yeah because it sucks :))
The performance that new consoles brought just make low-end and even mid-range gaming PC pretty pointless
The best thing to do rn is save your fucking for the next year
ps5 here is more expensive than rtx 3060
and if that was everything then consoles would be pointless too due to streaming
PS5 is 1100$ here lol
i remember someone telling me that streaming servies will replace buying hardware
lol
Iirc only like 10% of the world has internet fast enough to stream games lol
fiber not cheap
different markets
Google stadia or whatever they call it?
ye stuff like that
and geforce now
stadia is disaster tho
soon xcloud
I think itβs a bit early
streaming games also look blurry ofc
yeah, tried it with a few games on gfn
since native actual footage takes gigabytes of space per second
Not everyone has 5G 100mb speed
much worse quality
whats the throughpout for 1080p coming to display?
5G is faster than 100mbps
Most common internet speed is under 20 Mbps lmao
you can hit that with 4g
I know itβs just an example
I have 30mb
average internet speed here is 50 mbps
How much do you guys pay
i have 1 gb fiber
i pay 40 usd for 1 gigabit fiber
theres a pricing war going on though so might lower
Thatβs actually a good deal
no one prices fiber higher much at this speed here
infrastructure in my country is enough for 71,3% to get 1 gigabit if they wanted to
some of the islands are lower though
island of bornholm has the slowest internet here with 11% having 10 mbps or less
1gb fiber isnβt available for normal citizens here
digging is prob 90%
Itβs like for companies
of fiber cost
1 Gbit internet is overkill for average users anyway
yeah but its nice to have
I'm fine with 50 Mbps
100usd for 10gb
though its very useful to have more in local internet, i might upgrade to 2.5 gig switch eventually
and 2.5 gig nic
due to my NAS storages
Max speed here is 100mb for a normal user and you pay like 20$
Min speed is 30mb you pay 10$
71% of country can get 1000 mbps for 250 kr
it feels like
fiber companies here
just try to force people
to switch
away from mobile guys
mobile usually limited as well
Mobile sucks ass
I tried using it once on my pc my ping was like 100
my wifi
might be between 10-40
Wired ftw
@quick locust why does WiFi drop off so much for you
because walls and floor kill it i guess
Who actually uses WiFi at home anyway
i only use wifi on my phone
I mean on pc
i use wifi when i game in my front room
granted i dont play something like a mp fps in my front room
plus
thats what i get over wifi anyway
this is 1 room over, 1 wall
but as soon as another room, rip wifi
shouldnt be THAT bad?
Is steelseries still reliable?
I havenβt checked their mouses in a while
I had a rival 300 back then in 2016 lasted 3 years
My house was built in late 90s and my cousins is probably closer to 2010 and neither have hard wired ethernet. Its just not a thing in some countries
not really a thing here
seem like american thing more
they also have hollow walls a lot anyway
nah im a meatball person
in the gaming mouse enthusiast circle, steelseries is like bottom tier
people punching though their wall in videos or falling through them
and im like
you'd break everything here
im danish and it seems uncommon here
even coax wall sockets are
what do you guys think about the new Nvidia driver? anyone did try it and how is like the Performance is there any stuttering or fps drops?
damn razer is pretty high up there
the only way i would even consider a steel series is for a large mouse and if their shape works for you
razer has been killing it lately, and this comes from someone that 3 years ago would have told you he would never buy a razer product
not really looked at their stuff
viper mini and viper wireless are probably the best for the price (especially viper mini)
neither
i havent looked at their stuff for a while
for mice reviews
finalmouse i would never like
too small and holes are horrible for dust and cat hair
and too light
the new razer orichi v2 is fantastic as well
oh the bugha brand in based tier is a joke btw
wow i remember back in 2015,2016 they were one of the best out there
steel series?
yes
ehh, they were popular by the mainstream
but the mainstream recommends corsair mice too
which are pretty shit..
I'd just want a decent size wired mouse
Also i still wouldn't buy razer products because their software policy
G502 is trash
see, the mainstream recommends g502 all the time
i guess it's 130+g?
no idea
@quick locust why wired?
which is pretyy heavy
no reason to use wireless on a desktop
g502 is like 110g without the weights in it
plus i use a bungee
i used to paracord and use a bungee, wireless is so much nicer
Wireless is a must when it comes to mouses
i think youre missing out on a wireless mouse imo
You can buy a g302 or whatever they call it for less than 50$ and it's wireless
Imagine buying a wireless keyboard
at this point, ill never go back to a wired mouse
i see wireless being pretty pointless on a desk setup
the freedom of not worrying about a wire is just too good
cool with laptops though
then again i prefer wired on everything, on my ear buds for my phone as well
i dont think it matter for desktop or laptop
you move a mouse, and not having a wired attached just gets rid of any outside interference
In my really humble opinion you should get a wireless mouse and headset
wireless headsets suck due to a2p/hsp
even with an aftermarket paracord and a bungee, youre still gonna drag/feel the weight of a wire
when its static, but you move the mouse, so you also move the wire, which then builds momentum
well you're kinda right also it's expensive you can't find a good wireless headset under 100$
but most mice are
the only way i would understand wanting wired is if youre a wrist aimer
good point
like i said, ive done everything to get a wired mouse to not bother me, but since i play at such a low sensitivity it was always a problem
400dpi?
I play at around 2800 dpi
dpi alone doesnt tell the whole story
i use wrist mostly
holy shit
though my previous mouse was super low dpi and was non adjustable
to do a 360 in game i would have to move my mouse 19 inches
100 won't make that much
my previous mouse was 1000 ish and non adjustable
yea but you could change in game sensitivity to compenstate (hence how dpi isnt the end all stat)
in that case yea, stay wired
i use 8% in bf1 with 400 dpi
and thats how you get away with a heavy ass mouse too
i can move cursor about 2x my screen with with my wrist
well
1.5 ish maybe
i dunno why logitech decided 12000 was a good idea
does anyone actually use it
it's 16k with their hero sensor lol
aiming without even moving wrist
max dpi? its just a large number to get smooth brains to go "large number equal good"
yea i just looked up the "best gaming mice" list from 3 sites, and they are horrible...
but yeah i use wrist, i dont really understand people that use whole arm
then again i grew up with not much space for mouse
is that an old logitech mouse?
objectively better for accuracy
i know the mouse but i don't remember the name
looks like a ripoff master mouse
means i have to use the horrible logitech software though
I switched from 800 to 400
oh man 400 is so slow
Kinda sucked at first but then i got used to it
feels like those old thinkpads with so low dpi
hahaha
You donβt have to change dpi, thatβs mostly for windows. You should keep a dpi and only change in game sensitivity.
yeah, though many games dont have the option
but i can just press a button on the mouse to switch
I used to do that but i became lazy over time so i decided to keep one dpi
I havenβt changed my dpi in 5 years.
time to get fucked lol i would drop the dpi slowley not like that lol
Crypto is safe currency 
nothing new
I think they have hdd for that?
they keep it safe there
i thought this isnt as bad as i thought
then i found out ghub auto sets it to 1200 as minimum when switching to bfv
nacho is the worst
yes
i have to agree as he doesn't like nachos
noice
at 1440p
Can someone tell me why is my cpu usage higher than gpu usage?
whats your cpu and gpu?
Ryzen 5 3600
rtx 3070
It feels like im playing on a 1660 super on low settings
Im getting 120-140 on lowest settings
With the 3070
I have same with 8700K and 2080 ti at 1440p
Ultra
Higher cpu usage than gpu
But still runs 100+ so still nice
The difference of percentage between the two usages is above %20
Im also experiencing frame drops
how do i set my bios to measure the aio fan instead of the pump?
it says "cpu fan : 4000 rpm" but on the package the fans can only go to 1700 rpm
so this leads me to think that the bios is trying to measure the pump and its sending a dummy value to the mobo
Change headers
You put pump on cpu fan
That's why
It doesn't really matter which you use beside for monitoring
i always thought you wanted pump to cpu fan
You could want to since you'd be warned if it wasn't running
If you enable the warning that is
because of the CPU
headers?
However on some boards like mine you can set warning on any header
ahhh
Yeah on motherboard
i thought cpu warning was default
how do i do it
theres only "cpu fan" and "cha fan"
same
Just change the cables around
you should have a cpu header
The 3 pin or 4 pin cables for fan and pump
oh
so if i set the value to "full speed" on pump header it wouldn't affect the fans?
theres a chance hes using an usb controlled aio
But if your motherboard only has warning on cpu fan header I'd leave it as is
Each header is separate control
in the left corner
so should i set my pump header to full speed?
A lot of them use a header just for tachometer
Just leave as is
Your pc has no issues
ight
yeah fuck it
I mean just watch the video
Don't want to be an ass but I posted the video so you can look at it not me.

Iβve found an RGB calculator
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
no errors
No errors yet, not sure if I hope for some or not

Same chip as RTX 3060, only 70W TDP lol
Dx11 or 12?
11
Have you tried with dx12? Last night when i got a 3070ti, i tried both, had about the same gpu usage like you, and i had about 100 fps average, turned on dx12, gpi usage went to 100% and i legit gained at least 30 fps more on fjell
I didn't do extensive testing, didn't have time, but i was pleasantly surprised that i gained so much with dx12, while when i had a 1070, performance worsened for me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aACtT_rzToI
Battlefield will be even more immersive with these power supplys
(its a joke of course don't even think about buying one lol)
made this shitty meme just for you π
why am i so happy?
i'll keep it for later thanks
Can someone shoot these following guns while driving a vehicle: rifles, shotgun, SMG, and LMG?
Indeed I do.
Me too, I love technology
Does your name stand for Hong Kong or just HK.
Or something else than what I typed in.
@soft dove
HK is in reference to HK-47 (51, 55 . . .) who is an Assassin droid in the Star Wars Universe, first appearing in KOTOR:
HK-47 sounds like a gun tho.
it does, because of the company lol 
Hey can someone help me here
Am looking to purchase a console. This is my first time getting a console. So I need to know what are the other accessories i need to purchase along with the console?
The console will come with everything that you need for basic gameplay.
I would go with a PS5 or Xbox Series. I have the Series X, but both are hard to get at the moment.
Their business model relies upon you as the consumer easily adapting to the product, because they make less off your purchase of the hardware and more off the money spent on the software games/DLCs.
Also note the Xbox controller take AA, they're not rechargeable. You'll have to buy an elite controller for that.
the older xbox controller takes both rechargeable AA and non rechargeable AA
The rechargeable AA are the cheapest way to go. They're not hard to find in store's. But the series controller are still the same, they're not internally built in batteries.

Currently there are no official PC specifications released by DICE for the full release of Battlefield 2042.
i have the same cpu,why you running tests?something happened?
It's RAM tests, I've been having crashes
My PC has always been problematic but only mild, now games crash and freeze
No RAM issues in the end though
when i encountered similar issues,they usually ended up to be related with psu or gpu
Are you OC'd?
Nope
I'm considering it's the PSU, but really no idea what to think. Most likely software related, so a reset is in order I guess :(
What about storage issues?
No storage issues exactly but the errors I've gotten (I get blue screens along side the regular game crashed) point to memory or drive issues
Or do you wanna repair windows
I checked for basic drive health, there was no problem, but I need a utility that properly checks them
might just be a failing stick anyways/
Coz the problem I got before was ram usage spikes and screen freezes
my W10 install has a wack bug where if one of the spinning rust drives spins up the entire system freezes and things get out of sync
I have entered check windows partition into the terminal end it works
which normally is fine, but my firewire (yes, ancient) audio interface loses it sync with the pc
you were monitoring temps while those happened
i assume
I tried and saw nothing out of the ordinary
I doubt that too since my game (MWR is the latest) will crash just from loading a mission
And I played the game months ago with no issues
good luck finding the issue,it will be a headache
i mean the process
i assume you ran some quick test for the memmorys but if so even if the test said,pass
they might be faulty
or at least 1 of them
or they might actually be ok
It was a 3 hour test, no errors
since I'm rebuilding my PC anyway I was honestly hoping to find out it'd be the problem but it's not :(
oh well
if it's software then it's okay
π€
if u dont forget ,let me know what was the issue when you find it
try to uninstall the gpu driver and reinstall one of the old drivers,quick process
If it's hanging on a game, likely a driver issue if you're not thermal throttling or OC'd to instability.
we talked about this already
And?
he has no oc and the thermals are fine
You came into the conversation late, but thanks.
There'd be some manner of indicator regardless.
@alpine anvil Do you BSOD at all or just game crash solely?
It is inconsistent, also depends on the game (more BSODs or more crashes)
Do you BSOD without a game running?
I believe I BSOD'd once with MWR but Modern Warfare 2019 does it a lot
never
k
No problems when there's not a game running
seems like load dependent,the more demanding task/game you trow at it the more bsods/crashes you get
Which is telling, I just don't know what to do with the information though 
again im leaning towards psu/gpu
Yeah
No, I haven't touched anything like that
maybe one of the VRM's is failing?
motherboards can slowly cook themselves over time
i assumed it since you said you dont have any oc profile
What is your motherboard? Does it have a LED code display on it? If so, have you grabbed the codes when this happens?
I believe it's the Z-170 HD3
I'll look at it tomorrow, I haven't seen anything during my issues
(It only has lights afaik)
Aha! I knew it!
true champ cpu
The board is old as fuck at this point honestly.
might just be dried caps at the edge of being in spec
Yeah, you are right, I feel like it's not that but I definitely.. should keep it in mind.
I'm going to try to work further on it, do a proper drive health check and then a reset, if it persists I can likely point to the mobo
Levi may be right in the PSU, but it could be a MB issue all the same--Gigabyte has dubious quality in some products, especially these older budget builds.
or memory
Wait, what's a readout?
the LED display
i think hes reffering to those fancy stuff yeah..
annyways dont give up on it and fix it cause the 6700k is far to be old enough to be useless
it was the recommended cpu for cp77

i love it
aged like a fine wine
Yeah the 6700k should be pretty good, I just don't know
I've said it a lot, this PC is "cursed* and always underperformed, I have looked into it quite a lot but I've never figured it out
I'm running DDR4
i assume yours is also with ddr4
There may be two versions, but the manual seems to only indicated DDR3.
Yeah iirc there's a DDR3 and 4 version, but I think they're the same otherwise
I know it doesn't have the LED display
Lights but not a display
plus i saw on your pic you using ddr4 modules so thats not your mobo lol
There are two versions. Which one do you have?
DDR4 version
k
ddr4 with xmp..
So this one is yours then.
wait what about it? π
It should be, yeah
nothing,just pointing it out that you using ddr4,xmp is aight,it means you running the memmorys on theire highest clocks
you using an nvidia gpu?
Have you recentally installed new memory or is it what you've had?
to ensure the issues is not related to drivers/software conflicts that you can do pretty fast
waiitt whuaaaaat
and you mentioning this just now?
well we have a winner
I have clean reinstalled my driver's in the recent past and I updated mine tonight
lmfao
the artifacting has been here for a year
well it got worse
the crashing has been for 2 months~
What driver set are you on currently GPU-wise? Don't necessarily think it's a GPU hardware issue.
uh
Cya
okay
Cool story, needs more dragons.
So you have the latest then?
I updated them tonight
Yeah
Just the ones that are offered in GeForce experience, no special or experimental ones
When you say artifacting, in what way?
Well, 6~ months ago my screen would destroy itself in a scary set of squares. It has not happened since, but in games (in rare places) I see squares. Shadows and some SSR
let me find the 6 months ago example
Is it something that can be screenshot? Or is it purely surface?
This was my Discord application

And is the port solid/not loose?
@wintry prairie ah ok thanks for telling me
@shut tartan If you're not going to be helpful, you can see your way out. We don't need that kind of toxic attitude in this channel. Consider this your warning.
I should do that. I have taken stuff apart and returned it before but never tried a new cable altogether
im toxic cause i was helping,i found the issue but none of you cares?
That's not likely to solve the crashing issue, but might solve the artifacting issue.
interesting
I've had countless issues that have been clearly not related to my GPU, this is bunched in with them now
So just, please
Yeah, I'd like to try it, then I could take game photos again with confidence lol
You've identified what may be A issue, that doesn't necessarily mean it is. This is a process of elimination for things he needs to check.
Again, change your attitude.
once a gpu starts to artifact it means its dying ,with time it wont go away it will just get worse ,eventually it dies totally
im building pc's since a decade
Interesting.
Noone cares. I'm 41 years old, been doing it longer than you, we still take things step by step.
well idk if anyone here would know at least basic things about pc would take my side with 0 questions
i dont have an attitude
but to me this is comedy
this is not a debate from my pov
after he said its artifactin
Cool, thanks for the opinion.
its a fact,not an opinion
there is 0 gpus in exitence wich magically repaired itself after it started to artifact
add to the fact that he is using it over a year
and now its summer
I didn't say or imply that my GPU has repaired itself.
None of this is factual. Settle down.
