[lusty star]

and what xbox is it?

[mystic atlas]

singapore

[mystic atlas]

Xbox 1x

[lusty star]

Welp, gl then

[mystic atlas]

Thanks lol

[lusty star]

ur gonna be stuck on console only lobbies with xb1 and ps4 only

[mystic atlas]

true

[lusty star]

luckily, you got bots this time

[mystic atlas]

noice

[lusty star]

so it wont be TOO bad... but i'd suggest getting a series S if you can

at least you'll get access to full next gen features

[mystic atlas]

too bad i have asian parents

thats also the reason why i havent got a better laptop haha

[lusty star]

i live in india bro, parents cant be more strict lol

[mystic atlas]

haha

good luck on covid19 btw

[lusty star]

I have a 1 x myself, but since my college is gonna start, ill have to get a good laptop since i will be learning machine learning and game development

Here,
you can get good hardware only if u got extremely rich parents (Case for under 18 kids)
OR
you're going to a decent college

[lusty star]

Im vaccinated luckily, Sputnik

[mystic atlas]

even if my parents were rich they wouldnt buy it because its not like i deserve it lol

[mystic atlas]

nice same here

[lusty star]

how old are you?

[mystic atlas]

14

[lusty star]

...

Well, obviously you're not gonna get good hardware at that age in an asian country xd

[mystic atlas]

haha true

[lusty star]

I got my One X when i turned 16
that too for getting 95 % in all india secondary school exam

[mystic atlas]

well there i have some classmates that have like full on rgb light up pc and a room just for gaming lol

[mystic atlas]

nice good luck!

[lusty star]

wdym by gl xD
Ive finished my school

my college is gonna start in October/November

[mystic atlas]

Oh nice

I like how my laptop doesnt even have a cooling system

[dry pike]

https://tenor.com/view/doubt-press-x-press-la-noire-gif-18717264

[mystic atlas]

what lol

[dry pike]

laptops have a cooling system

it might not be active cooling, but it is there

[mystic atlas]

so it doesnt have to be a fan there?

[dry pike]

It's all a question of how much heat is produced vs. how fast it can get rid of the heat. If a device is slow and power efficient enough you might not need active cooling like a fan

[mystic atlas]

Ah nice

[tender socket]

I have a ryzen 3 3200g rx570 4gb 16 ram 2666, you say that the bf2042 will run on my Latin American pc?

[fallen harbor]

yes

[grave lark]

When i first bought my laptop it was running any videogame quite well without any frame drops but then after a few months it started getting worse until now where gaming is impossible
ive investigated a bit and found out that my pc overheats alot even when just going through my browser going from 75 degrees celsius rapidly to 95 and back to 75 repeatedly and when gaming i get a lot of lag spikes and bad performance in general with the lowest graphics
when i check on task manager and playing a game most of the cpu and memory isnt even being used yet.
ive tried this on different games to check if it was only one but it wasnt
ive tried to remove the dust that was inside the fans but it only got a bit better but kept getting worse
ive even done a full system reset but that did nothing to improve my performances and frame drops
i dont understand why my laptop started slowly getting like this, how can i fix this? ive only had it for less than a year

[tender socket]

put a pencil under the laptop

[arctic crag]

Seems like something is wrong with you fans

What laptop you got?

[tender socket]

Take a fan first, then buy a laptop stand, and lastly make sure they don't make 49 ° in your house

[tender socket]

When I used a laptop for some things, I used that trick

[grave lark]

They seem to be working quite well doe, i hear them going crazy when my laptop overheats so most of the time

[arctic crag]

Ok maybe thermal paste is dry

[grave lark]

But my laptop used to not do this and be able to run any game smoothly at medium settings

[tender socket]

open the laptop and clean the inside carefully

[grave lark]

As i said, i only used it for less than a year

[grave lark]

If i do that i would lose any chance of repairing it if it gets physically damaged

[arctic crag]

Sometimes they put a dated thermal paste

What laptop you got?

[grave lark]

What if it isnt the thermal paste? If i open my laptop i cant go to my store and repair it there as a last hope of fixing

[grave lark]

Omen gaming laptop

Nvidia 1600ti is my gpu

Gtx

[arctic crag]

Ok how about taking it to the store and see what can they do for you

[grave lark]

That would take about a month and i need this pc for school stuff so that has to be the last resource i can use

[tender socket]

Take it to clean, I do not know how expensive it is in your country but here in Argentina it is not very expensive

[arctic crag]

He is worried about his warranty

[grave lark]

Yep

As i said in my main messags i tried to blow out dust but it didnt do much if anything

[tender socket]

if you do it right it won't affect the warranty

[dry pike]

If it is less than a year old it should still be under warranty in most places. Since it's described as a drastic change I would send it in to get repaired under the warranty (remember to take a backup).

[grave lark]

How?

[grave lark]

@dry pike

There must be something i can do

I tried to use intel extreme tuning software but it doesnt lemme change settings

[tender socket]

I guess it depends on where you bought it too, I stay here because I'm Argentine and I don't know what it's like in your country

[dry pike]

Sounds to me like a fan breaking, something in the cooling solution being loose or similar. All requires dismantling the laptop.

[grave lark]

Dang

[lunar tide]

My old laptop had overheating issues cause one of the fans wasn’t spinning at all. Turned out there was some kind of debris stuck between the fan blades, preventing it to spin

[grave lark]

Do you really think theres no temporary solution to this to be able to atleast game?

[dry pike]

I don't think so. If it overheats from browsing it will definitely overheat from gaming.

[grave lark]

Dang it does sound like the fans are working doe and i also dont understand why my performance decreases everyday

[arctic crag]

My friend had a similar problem like you in the end the fans connector was loose

[grave lark]

Could it also be a power issue? The cable to charge my laptop maybe?

[arctic crag]

The best solution is to take it to the store for repair

[grave lark]

Yeah but could the overheating also be caused by the cable malfunctioning?

[arctic crag]

Don’t think so,it’s something with the fan or cooling system imo

[grave lark]

Ok

My pc should theoretically play the game on ultra easy if it wasnt for this problem

It used to play any game atleast 60 fps with max graphics

120/140 fps with low

Now it just lags whatever setting i use

On battlefield origin theres a setting in the overlay

For other games theres usually a setting in the game or by using nvidia overlay

What

Gaming laptop

[fallen harbor]

"without any problems" is tied directly to your personal standards

that also depends on your standards

smoothness isn't the same for everyone

[grave lark]

It depends on how used your eye is to lag too

[fallen harbor]

if it's smooth enough for you then thats good

[tender socket]

How many more years do they say that you can play with my rx570 4gb?

[fallen harbor]

this is nearly impossible to tell

and also depends on how you define "play"

launch games at all? idk, many years

[tender socket]

games like battlefields

[supple bane]

i would say probably not.

[fallen harbor]

at what framerate and resolution?

[supple bane]

because you will have a severe cpu bottleneck

[fallen harbor]

it will run nonetheless

[supple bane]

it will launch sure.

but i think it will be stuttery

and low fps.

[tender socket]

1080 low

[fallen harbor]

theres no reason for it to be stuttery, at worst it will struggle to reach 60fps but it will be steady

maybe steady 40 or 50

[supple bane]

there are reasons for it to be stuttery lmao

4c4t cpus especially low end ones like that would struggle in bfv. now double the player count and add more physics and detail etc...

[fallen harbor]

define "fine"

because fine depends on the person

30fps is fine for a lot, terrible for a lot

720p is fine for a lot too

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1bjpJv0Elg

[wintry prairie]

Probably, especially if you have a smallscreen/res. BFV on the other hand, probably not.

[tender socket]

I still don't know why I ask, I always manage, I play bf5 in ultra settings 90 fps jajajaja

[wintry prairie]

I use GeForce experience in most games to check FPS.

[tender socket]

yes,
I have a friend who played it with a pc like that and it exceeded 60fps

[supple bane]

u sure?

[fallen harbor]

not much of a difference

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0azRKQR_3_Y

[supple bane]

im watching a video of those specs and bfv 1080p low is super stuttery

[tender socket]

there is a thing called disabling windows telemetry that gives you much more performance. activated consumes a lot of cpu

[fallen harbor]

it's either installing a windows update, or getting old, or got damaged

[tender socket]

I have the video but only in Spanish

[fallen harbor]

is it a laptop?

it most likely will be a temporary thing

will go back to 0% in some minutes

ask

huh?

[supple bane]

yeaaahhh, id guess that would probably increase cpu performance by like 0.5%? maybe not even that?

[fallen harbor]

the gpu is more important than the cpu for gaming. Both things are important, but the gpu is more influential

[supple bane]

my point remains that i dont think you will play bf2042 with a r3 3200g

but im just guessing, i might be wrong.

[fallen harbor]

he will run and play it, he wont mind not reaching 60fps

[supple bane]

........................................

as i said before.

it will stutter like crazy

im guessing.

because bfv stutters. and 2042 will be 2x the players meaning a much higher cpu load.

[tender socket]

I mean it, at least I increased my performance a lot

[fallen harbor]

idk the video i just posted isnt stuttering at all

[supple bane]

i could certainly feel it stuttering. also watch the gpu usage when that guy actually goes onto an objective

[tender socket]

play a lot

[fallen harbor]

open console and type perfoverlay. drawfps 1

or download msi afterburner

[supple bane]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4DYfveGyOA

[tender socket]

LPM

[fallen harbor]

in one video i see stutter and in the other i see no stutter at all, so i'd guess it's a matter of configuration, or maybe the one stutering was having a bad storage

[supple bane]

its the map.

underground is more cpu demanding. which is closer to what id expect to see on 2042

[fallen harbor]

plus, if he says he runs bfv fine, then he will run bf2042 fine in his own standards even if its shit for us

so i wouldnt worry for him

[supple bane]

also why is it that no benchmarkers can actually play games

[fallen harbor]

i imagine you can kinda get rid of the stutter too if you limit your frame rate to a low one

like maybe to 40fps

[tender socket]

each has its performance tricks in video games, Latin American problems require Latin American solutions

[fallen harbor]

you love mentioning latin america dont you

[tender socket]

It's a meme here that's why{

[supple bane]

he was having pretty awful screen tearing in that video also.

[tender socket]

XD

[supple bane]

i actually managed to pause on one

[fallen harbor]

anyway it is impossible for us to tell how you will run the game, we can only guess. My guess is that you will be able to play it if you limit your frame rate, and maybe to a lower resolution too

[supple bane]

thats some of the worst ive ever seen i think

[wintry prairie]

That looks horrible!

[tender socket]

I hope it has good optimization bf2042

[fallen harbor]

if you have the money you can upgrade to an i5 10400f, it's on a sweet spot for its price-performance.

[wintry prairie]

Don't we all!

[fallen harbor]

3200g is kinda meant to be used without a dedicated gpu

for very basic gaming

sure the rx570 makes it better, but only so much

[tender socket]

Procesador Intel Core i5 10600K 4.8GHz Turbo Socket 1200
$ 31.440, everything is very expensive here.
318.82 dolars

[fallen harbor]

i said 10400f

the 10600k is pricier

[tender socket]

no stock

[fallen harbor]

f

anyway if you ever have the money to upgrade, upgrade your cpu first

to something new with 6 cores

[wintry prairie]

I did my GPU first

Now doing CPU

[fallen harbor]

it depends on what you have right now

he's bottlenecking so he needs a cpu first

[wintry prairie]

Same

My GPU upgrade was bottlenecking my CPU

[tender socket]

my rx570 4gb is worth 1000 dollars (here in my country)

[wintry prairie]

So now I'm upgrading CPU

[fallen harbor]

yeah keep that and dont buy a new gpu for now

it's impossible

all you can do is upgrade your cpu, if even

[wintry prairie]

I upgraded my GPU like a week or two ago

[fallen harbor]

ok have a cookie

[wintry prairie]

I have the option to buy another GPU in a couple weeks if I want

Not impossible

[fallen harbor]

said the first world citizen

[tender socket]

first, except for the new bf2042 then I see what I can do

[wintry prairie]

😫

[tender socket]

the translator is not the best to speak but my English teacher does not connect to the zooms

[fallen harbor]

no pasa nada papu

not exactly but classes are mostly remote still

[tender socket]

jajajaja

[fallen harbor]

idk bf games were always well optimized, i think everyone is making a big deal out of it

unless you want 4k or 144hz i guess, idk

any modern 6 core cpu and anything from a 1650super onwards will most likely be enough for 1080p and 60fps

imo

[wintry prairie]

We shall see SOON™

[grave lark]

No

[arctic crag]

Yep people with rx 5700xt asking if they will be able to run it

[grave lark]

Omen

omen hp

[storm osprey]

mesh chairs > gaming chairs

[toxic zealot]

chair that cant be adjusted

are trash

thats all i know

[supple bane]

Alfred > nyphon

[arctic crag]

Yep you get comfort and 80.2% accuracy increase

[wintry prairie]

Did they roll out the accuracy update already? NICE!

[midnight crypt]

Gaming chairs arent optimal for gaming ironically

[wintry prairie]

No

[arctic crag]

Ye

[arctic crag]

Cap

[wintry prairie]

Nice!

I need t plug mine in.

[arctic crag]

Plug it where lol

[midnight crypt]

The ergonomics for gaming chairs are shit

[wintry prairie]

USB 6.0

[arctic crag]

I see

I thought about something else

[wintry prairie]

Oh, lol

That might be too powerful

[arctic crag]

Yep

[tardy lintel]

Anyone here use G733 wireless headset?

[tardy lintel]

Yeah those eye sores

Are they any good?

I need to a new pair and can’t decide between these and Steelseries Arctic 7

Was wondering if anyone had experience using either

[arctic crag]

I recommend buying a separated headphones and mic

[wintry prairie]

Fro one review:
The SteelSeries Arctis 7 2019 Edition Wireless are better overall wireless gaming headphones than the Logitech G733 LIGHTSPEED Wireless. The SteelSeries have a slightly more comprehensive control scheme, sturdier build quality, a more stable fit, and superior microphone recording quality. They also have a longer continuous battery life and offer full wired audio and mic compatibility with their 1/8" TRRS cable. That said, the Logitech have more features in their companion app and have a mic that does a better job of filtering speech from ambient noise.

[arctic crag]

Headsets are overrated

[wintry prairie]

I agree, have separate mic and headphones.

Neither of the two Headsets seem very good to me

[tardy lintel]

$$$ I would like that set up too but $$$

Now we are talking a budget of 400-500

[arctic crag]

I’m not that expert but audio technica m50x is really good

[wintry prairie]

It is

[arctic crag]

That’s more than enough to get a professional studio headphones

[wintry prairie]

And about the same price as thoose headsets

[tardy lintel]

No I don’t have a budget of 400-500

I would need that budget to get a good mic and headphone combo

[wintry prairie]

Its $129

[arctic crag]

Will you can get the m50x for a 100$ if am not mistaken

[wintry prairie]

$129 or so

And get a Mod

[tardy lintel]

Also pretty sure the m50x are not 3.5 jack

So I would need a dongle or audio interface

[wintry prairie]

It actually is

[tardy lintel]

Oh okay

Maybe you’re right maybe I can work something out for 250-300

Okay thanks for the advice guys

[wintry prairie]

For under $200 easy

Anytime!

[tardy lintel]

$200 usd?

[wintry prairie]

Yes

[tardy lintel]

Okay so yeah about 250-300 cad

[chrome skiff]

you can get Phillips shp9500s for under 100 usd, some of the best cheap stereos out there with over 6k reviews. then the fifine k669b mic that is full metal and 30 bucks. many people in this discord use it and recommend it not to mention its 10k + reviews on amazon.

the mic is on sale for 25 usd

https://www.amazon.com/Microphone-Condenser-Recording-Streaming-669B/dp/B06XCKGLTP/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=fifine+k669b&qid=1629238705&sr=8-7

https://www.amazon.com/Philips-SHP9500S-Precision-Over-ear-Headphones/dp/B00ENMK1DW/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=shp9500&qid=1629238731&sr=8-3

With your budget you can even get a dac to get better audio on the high end.

Audio is different for everyone, there is tone warmth frequency clarity signature tons of defining features and audio can lead you down an expensive rabbit hole. That mic is solid and beats the blue yeti which is 99 bucks on average. Those cans are compared to headphones 2-3 times its price class.

Audio is hard because its not like a a gpu where the expense has an exact number behind it. Headphones are different for everyone and i wouldnt go start buying anything over 100 bucks till you atleast gave a few cans a try

[arctic crag]

Here you’re an audio nerd

Note his words carefully

[wraith sky]

Thank you @wintry prairie that really helped!

[tardy lintel]

@arctic crag @chrome skiff blesss you guys 🙏

[arctic crag]

I did nothing lol

[tardy lintel]

You tagged me lol I wouldn’t have seen it

[arctic crag]

Lmao

[tardy lintel]

Team effort

[chrome skiff]

no problem, down the road if you want a little more power out of your headphones you can get a dac that will let you turn them up and give them more power but that's down the road

[wintry prairie]

Anytime

[atomic jackal]

guys

i need help

my pc got bsod and when i restarted it my monitor screen looks bleached

like as if there is a white film

code was system file exception

[dry pike]

Basic troubleshooting

Check the easy things: check cables etc. are properly connected etc.

Rule out as much as possible: find out if it's the monitor or the computer, try the monitor with another computer

[atomic jackal]

i figured it out

gpu driver got corrupt

when i deleted the driver monitor went back to normal

by the way

why would a bsod corrupt a driver

[wraith sky]

Does anyone water-cool their computer?

[wintry prairie]

Yes

[atomic jackal]

hey guys

i downloaded the gpu driver and uhh

my screen became whitewashed again

[wraith sky]

@wintry prairie What CPU block do you use?

[wintry prairie]

I use a few different ones.

[atomic jackal]

@wintry prairie should i format my pc? why is the monitor becoming pale and white as soon as the driver is installed?

[wintry prairie]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[lofty light]

Did you use DDU to remove the driver?

[atomic jackal]

i used windows device manager

[lofty light]

Download "Display Driver Uninstaller" from guru3d and use that, there's often bits of the driver left over if you remove other ways

[atomic jackal]

i understand

why would a single bsod corrupt a driver so badly, though?

i also noticed some occasional glitches

[lofty light]

Could be another issue, maybe artifacting on the GPU but we can do the driver first

[atomic jackal]

artifacting?

i have this computer for 20 days now and it worked completely fine until today

no no its not artifacting

i looked it up

[lofty light]

Could be a faulty card but again easy enough to test the driver first

[atomic jackal]

i didnt oc my gpu

[lofty light]

Artifacting is caused by instability in a card, it can be a faulty card in general and have it

[atomic jackal]

i see

can a game alone cause the gpu to be like this?

i booted up battlefront 2 and then bsod happened

[lofty light]

Load in general can yeah

[atomic jackal]

i noticed booting up battlefront makes the screen go pale in a few days but it always went back after startup

now this time it didn't

[molten coral]

HDR?

[atomic jackal]

i dont know if hdr was open or not

by the way

it is Display Port

that i use

[molten coral]

Do you have any other connections like HDMI?

[atomic jackal]

no

i dont

[lofty light]

Do you have another cable?

[atomic jackal]

cable? i dont think so

[lofty light]

In any case use that ddu software to remove the driver, then reinstall from scratch

[atomic jackal]

okay as it is 4 am now, im way too sleepy to do it, ill report back tomorrow

ill contact you in like 20 in Australia time

[quick locust]

https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Zink-Suballocator-Merged

[atomic jackal]

@lofty light hi man, i used DDU but bleached screen came back again. do you think i should do a clean install of windows?

[toxic zealot]

?????

Bunch of gears what is that

[molten coral]

You can try

[atomic jackal]

i disabled hdr from windows screen options and it went back to normal

thanks for the help anyways

[latent light]

Next-gen SP5 socket for Epyc Zen4

[atomic jackal]

yo my gpu rgb is stuck on orange,how do i change that

[hexed dirge]

Do you have the software for it?

If you do and you've tried changing it, try just restarting the PC, if not reinstall the software.

[atomic jackal]

i installed icue

it fixed it

[hexed dirge]

Oh crap, I forgot, I need to do that too

Hehe thanks

[atomic jackal]

lmao np

asus does good hardware but i avoid their software like the plague

[tender socket]

Definitely, if bf2042 has poor performance on my pc, I am going to buy a crt monitor to improve performance and have less response time than current monitors.

[quick locust]

[storm osprey]

should we tell him thats not how that works

[midnight crypt]

Thats totally how it works

[chrome skiff]

Let him have his moment dont ruin his dreams

[tender socket]

with who are you talking?

[supple bane]

well i should imagine, you. lmao

[tender socket]

the old monitors are quite good if we refer to fps, they are also cheap as here they are at 2000 ars which would be about 25 dollars

[supple bane]

an old monitor does not improve fps lol

that isnt how pc performance works.

[storm osprey]

the only way it will indirectly get better fps is if its lower resolution

[supple bane]

but that could be achieved by, idk.

running a lower resolution?

but you are right, crt's do have lower response times than current monitors

i believe some of them were in the hundredth of a millisecond

[tender socket]

I know but what I say is that the old ones have more hz than some current ones can reach 200hz or more

[storm osprey]

that doesnt just give you more performance though... and current monitors are pushing over 200hz as well

[tender socket]

In Argentina you can barely reach 144hz there will be no 200hz but the old ones have more than 75hz for less than 25 dollars

[vast valley]

My friend

Hi

[storm osprey]

howdy xero

[vast valley]

How are you?

[storm osprey]

oh no

[vast valley]

😂

[storm osprey]

i was suspicious with the first two lines

[vast valley]

🙏rip DOOM.

[storm osprey]

i actually forgot i had that hashtag

[vast valley]

😂

[tender socket]

exactly

i love this server

[midnight crypt]

the actual response times arent that though

[storm osprey]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBxo2_lwKps

[quick locust]

yeah seen

seems good

could be a replacement for my rv02 maybe

[storm osprey]

my case is one thing i should upgrade, since im running it without the front cover on because it gets hot

but honeslty that doesnt REALLY bother me

[quick locust]

my rv02 is still going very well

[storm osprey]

why dont more cases do psu at the top so you can feed the gpu fresh air directly from the bottom =[

[supple bane]

after the outstanding success of the o11. i imagine more and more new cases will start to do that.

we have already seen the new corsair series of cases use the motherboard tray mounted fans which was popularised by the o11

[storm osprey]

o11 isnt top mount though right?

o11 is just a wide boiiiiii

[supple bane]

o11 psu is behind the motherboard

[storm osprey]

yee, which sadly unless you want the big ass case you have to get a sfx psu

just give me an o11 mini that doesnt need a special psu

[atomic jackal]

why do people think more Hz : more fps?

its not the case at all

[quaint sleet]

i want a sff itx case so i dont have to buy a mitx mb

[plucky token]

@supple bane my stuff arrives tomorrow

[supple bane]

nice

have you ever done a custom loop before ?

[plucky token]

nope

but i know how to work with the material

so it shouldn't be that hard

and i watched jayz's videos about watercooling. so should be fine

[supple bane]

i could do it in pc building simulator actually!

[plucky token]

KEKW

[supple bane]

show you the runs you would need to make for your specific build

[plucky token]

its just cpu, rad, pump

[supple bane]

oh. thats not that hard actually.

nvm

[plucky token]

since evga still doesn't sell the gpu block, i will wait until they do

[supple bane]

whats wrong with an EK block?

or corsair

[plucky token]

warrenty voids

[supple bane]

ahh

[plucky token]

and corsair doesnt sell one for my model

only EK and i don't like the looks of it

evga 3080 ftw3 ultra

[storm osprey]

why is that a problem and why this solution?

[supple bane]

!!bfvspecs

eh

!!specs

:(

[proud trellis]

bots broke i think

[tiny compass]

Hi, is it possible to create bf2042 gameserver on own hardware?

[molten coral]

nobody knows

[eager whale]

Nobody even knows the specs for the game

[midnight crypt]

Well

There have been some leaks

[storm osprey]

all we know is that the game goes pew pew like bf3/4 but with more stuff

[tiny compass]

i would love to see good old clan gameservers back in the game 😄

[dry pike]

Not broke, getting a haircut so tags might not work for a few minutes

[short cobalt]

I got the disk version of battlefield 1942 and i was able to install it, but i can't play it. I've tried installing the gamespy patch but when i select the folder where bf 1942 is it says it's not there and I cant proceed with the install. does anyone have a fix?

[atomic jackal]

i dont think id be comfortable with custom loop

if you mount it wrong and it leaks

your setup is a goner

thats why i like dumb coolers

[supple bane]

Thats not how water cooling works

[atomic jackal]

like mine

[supple bane]

You leak test it with presurised air and fill the system with a jumper so no hardware is powered on meaning no damage if it leaks

Its pretty hard to kill something with a custom loop

[atomic jackal]

by the way how do i stop overthinking

about my pc

since it crashed yesterday even though i fixed the issue im afraid to use the pc for the chance of a bsod again

[molten coral]

eh give it a few days

[atomic jackal]

its like im on edge when i use my pc

the bsod screen just keeps reanimating in my mind when i use the pc

[arctic crag]

Focus on your game

You bought it to enjoy your time not to make your day worse

[final geode]

why is my speaker not working with battlefield 4

[serene dragon]

well i used to be like that

then i just ignored

cuz my pc still got warranty

if it brokey

could get a new one for free

[atomic jackal]

true

mine has 2 year warranty

[serene dragon]

if brokey

for no reason at all

claim warranty

[prime jasper]

What does Hz mean

[serene dragon]

Hertz

Monitor refresh rate

[prime jasper]

Like fps?

[serene dragon]

kind of

the higher it is the smoother it is

[prime jasper]

So for example would you need 120 Hz to run 120 fps?

Or are they not the same number

[serene dragon]

so if you have 60hz

and ur game could run over than 60

let's say 100 ish

it will be on 60fps

whenever it says 100 fps or more

since your monitor doesn't support 60 fps above

[serene dragon]

yes

if u want smooth one

yea you need 120hz

[prime jasper]

Ah okay makes sense

Wait so when battlefield servers say only 30 Hz or 45 Hz is that the server refresh rate or does it lock my refresh rate?

[visual quail]

no i dont think thats what it means

i get 200 fps on bf4 on 30hz servers it doesnt cap it to 30

[prime jasper]

thats the tick rate

[prime jasper]

What does this mean

[visual quail]

Idk sort of like ping I guess

[limpid ice]

does anyone know how to get rid of the dash where your ping is supposed to be?
getting kicked from every server and its getting really annoying

[storm osprey]

Tick rate is how often the server updates what’s happening on that server. Player locations, shots fired, etc. that’s completely separate from your monitors refreshrate or your FPS.

[prime jasper]

So if it’s extremely low does that mean the performance on that server will be bad?

[storm osprey]

Things like shots won’t register like they should. 30 isn’t extremely low either. It’s like acceptable low.

[limpid ice]

can anyone help me with my problem?

[solar kestrel]

yes, in battlefield on 30 hz servers i’ll shoot someone before they go behind a wall and it won’t register until they are behind the wall, it’s really annoying

i would stay away from 30hz servers if possible

the 60hz is the better experience and much more enjoyable

[cloud solar]

theres no fix for it

not that i know of

ig you can turn off your internet and turn it back on, but thats really it

[wraith sky]

Can you share which ones?

[wintry prairie]

I could . . .

[wraith sky]

Please!

[wintry prairie]

Here are some:

[wraith sky]

Oh wow! Thank you for sharing! Are those for Intel CPU?

[wintry prairie]

The top three are for Intel, and the bottom two are for AMD. The last two are also somewhere in the mail, I am waiting for their arrival for my new CPU.

[wraith sky]

Very cool! I'd like to watercool, but its a bit intimidating, and I've heard it is expensive.

[wintry prairie]

It can be a bit intimidating, just like the first time you build a computer. But once you do it, you'll have a ton of confidence and any upgrading or future build will be much easier.

It can be quite expensive. It is not a NEED, more of a want. If you have the time, desire and funds, it can be quite enjoyable.

I like the temperatures it affords, and a huge plus for me is the silence (very quiet).

[quick quail]

Will a gtx 1650 oc a bit and ryzen 3 3100 3.9ghz 16gb ram ssd would run battlefield 2042 at good fps with no like gameplay issues 🤨

Actually prolly a stupid question 💀

[midnight crypt]

Maybe

[quick quail]

Like 70-100 fps is fine with me tbh

Ion want like 30-60 LMAOAOA

[cloud solar]

thats what youll get with a 1650

you cant buy a low end card and expect 100 fps

[quick quail]

im not built with money 😐

[wraith sky]

Thank you @wintry prairie for all the explaining! You are always so helpful!

[wintry prairie]

Anytime, good luck!

[solar kestrel]

while we have no information on the specs as of right now i dont even think a 1650 can run battlefield 5 on high 1080p, really just depends on what graphics quality you are willing to play on

personally i play for fps so ill go all the way down to 800x600

everything else at its lowest

so my game will look like hot shit but i still get 70 fps, just depends on what graphics settings you want to play

[wintry prairie]

In BF5 I play on Ultra everything and play at around 170 FPS. I'm expecting to get much higher FPS in 2042.

[weak girder]

kekw

[solar kestrel]

[weak girder]

you have a 1030, you can play on 900p

low

[solar kestrel]

🧢

i play rust on the lowest settings possible

on 800x600

and sometimes drop below 60

[weak girder]

by reducing the res too much you lose so much visibility

rust is optimised like my balls

[solar kestrel]

pardon

i have no visibility

[weak girder]

then play on 720p or 900p bruh

you' ll have 60 fps on low

[solar kestrel]

then i dont get 60

[weak girder]

what?

the 1030 sucks this much?

[solar kestrel]

yes

[weak girder]

a 750 ti is more powerful lmao

[solar kestrel]

yes

yes it is

i have to do a lot more then just putting things on low

[weak girder]

not playing on 1080p is rough for me

[solar kestrel]

playing on 1080p feels weird

[weak girder]

that's annoying as fuck tbh

spending hours finding perfect settings

[opaque saddle]

It is fine As long as you didn’t get 1030 DDR4 variant

[solar kestrel]

i didnt spend hours

i spent 30 second lowering everyting

[weak girder]

can DDR4 even run anthing above 2012 games?

[solar kestrel]

its not hard to pick your settings when all you can run is the very lowest

[opaque saddle]

No i mean it uses DDR 4 ram instead of GDDR5

[solar kestrel]

this looks normal to me

[weak girder]

Id play on 900p or 1080p even if I'd have 50 fps tbh

[solar kestrel]

this is what i play on for 15 hours a day seb

[weak girder]

it looks like shit

[opaque saddle]

Addiction

[weak girder]

huh

[solar kestrel]

not 15 hours a day

like 9 sometimes

maby 13

for 7 days then i dont play for like a month

[opaque saddle]

9 13 or 15

[solar kestrel]

all of them

[opaque saddle]

[solar kestrel]

ive stayed up till 8:30 casually multiple times in a row playing this game

[opaque saddle]

How

[weak girder]

oh your voice got deeper, you sounded a lot more squeaky 6 months ago

[solar kestrel]

thats what everyone said

[solar kestrel]

i have nothing to do

[opaque saddle]

School? No school

[solar kestrel]

plus someone has to kill all the fresh spawns

[opaque saddle]

Oh yeah

[solar kestrel]

i start school monday

[opaque saddle]

Lol

School

[weak girder]

you muricans start school early af

[opaque saddle]

Missed school

[weak girder]

I start school on 2nd september

[opaque saddle]

Uni is more fun than school

[weak girder]

well with uni you' re proly with people who have the same interests as you

[opaque saddle]

Actually not

Pretty spread out tbh

For some others who aims to be professional in writing, they don’t do other stuff apart from writing

Coz creative writing is their interest

I’m more into production and camera stuff

So others would be talking about technical stuff, into control

[cosmic goblet]

oh dear free fly

[serene dragon]

wdym ddr4 ram

ddr3 ram could run games on 2021

depends on cpu and gpu

[weak girder]

ddr4 vram

read the convo

[latent light]

DDR4 makes even a GT 1030 lose 50% performance compared to the more known GDDR5 variant

[wraith sky]

GDDR6X ftw

[latent light]

GDDR6X is pretty toasty tho

[wintry prairie]

Mine stays pretty cool

[serene dragon]

lol

[wintry prairie]

Quite cool actually

[serene dragon]

HBM2

[wintry prairie]

HBM2?

[lofty light]

HBM2!

[wintry prairie]

Ah yes, GDDR6X

[serene dragon]

yea HBM2

[wintry prairie]

Yep, keeping it nice and cool

[plucky token]

you got no idea of custom loops eh?

[quick locust]

https://youtu.be/3fLn3NUrFeo

running programs

[arctic crag]

It is equivalent to a gt 1030,I think some games are playable at low settings maybe r6s,bf1,bfv but older games like bf4 you can run easily

Yeah pretty good for 1080p 144fps

[eager whale]

3060 is good for 1080p gaming and can be pushed to 1440p

2060 is good for 1080p

[serene dragon]

3060 ti would be better

[amber copper]

Hi. So i have a 1650, i5-9600k, 8 gb ram ( might upgrade for 24gb ram) its solid for run battlefield 2042 even in low specs at 60 fps?

[supple bane]

you have a very good cpu but a poor gpu.

[midnight crypt]

Just upgrade to 16gb

Ram

[pulsar sentinel]

Anyone getting CA Certificates issues on Origin?

[marsh gull]

you'll run it at high fine but upgrade that ram

why 24 gb?

get 16 it's enouph

[amber copper]

Okay, i will upgrade that! Thanks for you advice!

[serene dragon]

yea at low prob

or medium

high med is still playable

if it's battlefield v

[marsh gull]

ive got a friend with a 1650 and an even lower cpu that runs that game in high

[quick locust]

hm

[serene dragon]

offline?

or online

[quick locust]

https://www.pcmag.com/news/nvidia-gpu-supplies-to-remain-constrained-for-vast-majority-of-2022

[amber copper]

I asked about bf 2042, but yes i can run bf5 with that specs with 80-90 fps in medium

[prime jasper]

Can anyone help?
I got a:

**1050ti 4gb
24gb ddr3 2666mz ram
AMD FX 8370 overclocked 4.5
And it's on 2tb ssd **

On YouTube with same GPU or same CPU people getting 100+ frames on low and I get 30-40 and followed a guide online with config file and get 50fps but looks Soo fuckin bad

(what I mean by bad is when I use sniper I cannot see far away objects dissapear or they are blurred to the point I cannot see them)

[amber copper]

Nono, i mean bf2042

[serene dragon]

m

possibly u still could play 2042

[marsh gull]

online

[marsh gull]

you'll run it fine

[prime jasper]

Any idea bout my settings bahaha

Idk what's up with my pc maybe I needa wipe it etc cause it's full of junk I cannot be fucked cleaning

[marsh gull]

id say medium for 20423

[prime jasper]

I'm talking bfv

It's running like crap low settings

[serene dragon]

he said he can't even run the game smoothly

with config files

[quick locust]

just try low 1080p if bfv and see what you get

[prime jasper]

Yeah ...

[quick locust]

and update everything

[prime jasper]

I am

[serene dragon]

have u tried 720p @prime jasper

[amber copper]

At 60 fps?

[prime jasper]

Yes I have but I am running 50 fps rn but everything looks so shit I cannot play

Not cannot play but makes It difficult

[serene dragon]

prob

[prime jasper]

Cuz I am more of a sniper further away person and it's difficult when everything looks blurred lmfao

[marsh gull]

try 900p

[prime jasper]

Dw I've tried most settings but what's confusing me is that on yt people get 100fps low settings 1080p

Same GPU

And a guy same CPU runs it 90+ lmfao

[serene dragon]

m

[prime jasper]

That's why I resorted to the config file but I'm struggling to see enemies now

[marsh gull]

ram speed/quantity?

[prime jasper]

24gb ddr3 2666

[marsh gull]

it's ddr3

that's why

[prime jasper]

Yes ..

[serene dragon]

no

it's not the ddr3

[marsh gull]

it does't help

[serene dragon]

it does

ddr3 ram still could run games bruh

[prime jasper]

I mean a guy 16gb ddr3 same CPU ran it 90fps medium

So it ain't the drr3 shit

[serene dragon]

have u updated ur gpu driver

[prime jasper]

Yep just today

[serene dragon]

mm

[prime jasper]

Didn't do much performance wise I don't believe

[serene dragon]

prob check temps

[prime jasper]

True

[serene dragon]

gpu temps

and cpu temps

make sure it doesn't thermal throttle

[prime jasper]

I haven't looked much at what they doing mid game

But the game doesn't run worse the more I play

[marsh gull]

maybe bloatware?

[prime jasper]

Would installing on my ssd make it run any better or nah?

[prime jasper]

Why I'm thinking to do a reset cause so much crap on my pc

It's nearly full hdd(what it's installed on) and nearly full ssd so I'm thinking wipe the pc and download the game on the ssd

[nova yew]

ssd would make the game run better if it uses streaming assets

it basically means when parts of the map/models/textures load during gameplay

[prime jasper]

Yeah also loading takes forever ssd might help other than the sluggish hdd

[prime jasper]

Seeing as they take a while to load maybe

[marsh gull]

there

[prime jasper]

Checked task manager nothings taking much power up

[marsh gull]

like pubg for example

[prime jasper]

Can u overclock a gtx 1050ti? I heard u can't really online

[nova yew]

u can overclock rpetty much anything lol

[serene dragon]

you can

[nova yew]

1050ti definitely

[prime jasper]

Google apparently said it doesn't do much

[serene dragon]

and it doesnt improve anything

not muchj

[nova yew]

also true

[prime jasper]

And I changed a few settings on MSI afterburner and nothing happened speeds etc and temps stayed same

Like I changed it up alot and nothing changed

[nova yew]

newer gpus are usually already set to their near-best possible clock speeds

[prime jasper]

I've alr overclocked CPU to 4.5 instead of 4.3 I think it was

[nova yew]

same for cpus

[prime jasper]

CPU is 2013

I believe

[nova yew]

that's pretty modern

[prime jasper]

AMD FX 8370 idk specs but yk

[serene dragon]

it's fx

[prime jasper]

Yeah

[serene dragon]

kind of old

[prime jasper]

FX is a server CPU

[serene dragon]

no

[prime jasper]

I'm pretty sure it was the one in using

Lemme google

of CPU Cores
8

of Threads

8
Base Clock
4.0GHz
Max Boost Clock
Up to 4.3GHz

Dunno if that will mean anything to anyone but idk if it gud or not (ain't to to intelligent)

1866MHz (this max memory)

So does that mean the 2666mhz ram overclock means nothing?

[serene dragon]

well

it help a lil

but not much

[prime jasper]

Hmm

[serene dragon]

try to clean ur gpu

repaste thermal paste

or something

[prime jasper]

Ummm

Yes... I could try

Idk if I got thermal paste tho maybe somewhere

I mean I'll look at the GPU and see how gross it's looking if it is or not (also CPU thermal paste only like a year old)

[bold meteor]

will an acer nitro 5 run Forza horizon 4/5 or cod vanguard or bf2042?

gtx 1650

[quick locust]

https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Intel-DisplayPort-2.0-Linux

[bold meteor]

?

I don’t have that

[quick locust]

Not to you

Just news about displayport 2.0 on Intel Alchemist

[quick locust]

Noone knows 2042 specs yet

Or forza 5 and vanguard i think?

forza 4 yes

[quick quail]

I don’t plan on running high I usually play on all low Bc battlefield still looks good on low

All low at 1080p

[proud trellis]

So I’m currently trying to clean my cpu cooler and this is what it looks like so far lmao

[dry pike]

That dust looks like ash

[tender socket]

I sell my gpu here and I buy it back in the United States for 200 dollars less...

[arctic crag]

Wtf ?this isn’t dust is it?

[tender socket]

worse than ford falcon ventilation after a day in the field

[nova yew]

lol? whose is that?

[proud trellis]

I have never cleaned my cpu cooler and it’s been like a year now

this is my first time in a year cleaning it

[molten coral]

[tender socket]

lol

[proud trellis]

I could do a line with the amount of dust

does the radiator have to be above the block btw ? I have put the radiator in a bit lower and it’s just below the block

[alpine hinge]

seems like drugs XD

[tender horizon]

how is the series s this cheap?

thats off techstocker

dunno if its an actually good site

[storm osprey]

wtf, i have 4 long haired animals and i live in the dessert and my cpu never looked like that after YEARS

[supple bane]

the block should not be at the top of the loop.

but it seems a bit of the hose goes above the block so you are fine

the reason is that there will always be a bit of air in the loop, and that air will go to the top. if your pump is at the top and there is air in the pump it will suffer

[supple bane]

its more about how the house is kept i guess. rather than the environment

if you dust and vacuum religiously then there wont be any dust to get stuck in the computer

[storm osprey]

i sure as fuck hardly clean

[supple bane]

i run 3 120mm unfiltered unobstructed intakes and i have to clean my pc every 6 months id guess,

[storm osprey]

i do follow my rules of 6" off ground with filters and i blow it out casually once or twice a year

[supple bane]

i thought i might put this here. if you dont know you can run 2x, 4x and 8x cards in a 16x slot no problem. i find a lot of people dont realise that.

that brilliant bit of inter compatibility has saved my ass a few times

[proud trellis]

my room gets dusty real quick and I clean my desk etc but I have never took my radiator out and cleaned it

this small case is not good with my fat fingers

[cosmic girder]

500 euro for a 6600xt, yes or no

[supple bane]

no

[cosmic girder]

thought so

raytracing is shit on it

[supple bane]

thats not the issue

[tender socket]

I would say yes

[supple bane]

yeah ok buy a card at double msrp that is bad price to performance AT msrp

[cosmic girder]

^

6600xt is literally as good as a 5700xt

[storm osprey]

welcome to current gpu market

[cosmic girder]

which is just stupid

[storm osprey]

well.. can you get a new 5700xt for 500 euro?

[cosmic girder]

id rather have a 6700 or 3070

no

so ill stick to my 1060 lmao

[storm osprey]

no one said its a good value in general, but thats just the market we are in right now

[tender socket]

ba
bad price is a rx570 at 1000 dollars as sold in Argentina

[supple bane]

does he live in argentina?

[tender socket]

no

I don `t believe

[supple bane]

i upgraded from a 1060 to a 2070 which gave me 100% more fps, so anything in that bracket will give you a nice upgrade

[cosmic girder]

yeah but also not available

[supple bane]

a 3070 would probably give you a 175-200% boost

[cosmic girder]

i just want something a little more future proof than the 60's

[proud trellis]

slight problem….I don’t have a clue where this goes for my exhaust fan

[cosmic girder]

motherboard header

[supple bane]

onto the motherboard.

fan header

[tender socket]

but 1000 dollars is several times the Argentine minimum wage, its horrible

[supple bane]

i know.

[storm osprey]

lots of things are several times the minimum wage in any country

[supple bane]

its pretty much impossible to buy a house here below the age of like 40.

[proud trellis]

wait would it go on this ?

[supple bane]

does it have a groove on the top?

the cable

[proud trellis]

well it’s slotted in

I’m pretty sure it does go in there

[supple bane]

yeah thats looks fine

how dont you remember taking it apart >:(

[proud trellis]

I’ve spent like an hour or 2 doing this

took ages for me to do

[supple bane]

jeez

[proud trellis]

atleast I should hopefully get cooler temps for my cpu

[supple bane]

i think i could build a whole pc in like 30 minutes..

maybe i should do that actually

[proud trellis]

I mean I took my GPU out to clean to

so in the end I pretty much took out 3 fans, a gpu and a radiator, cleaned my case etc and then put them all back on

but I’m done now hopefully if my fans work when I turn my pc on

[nova yew]

scam, or refurbished

[hollow remnant]

e

[proud trellis]

Plus my case is tiny

It actually pissed me off so much I was struggling to get the fan cables through to the back of the case for like 5 mins

okay so my fans are on but the RGB on my exhaust isn’t working

shit

[storm osprey]

good

[proud trellis]

but I need RGB !!

would it work if I put it in the pins at the corner of my motherboard ?

[midnight crypt]

is it a 4pin fan?

[proud trellis]

3

the fan itself works but the RGB doesn’t

[midnight crypt]

did you plug it into the same spot?

[proud trellis]

So that’s what the fan header is plugged into and that’s 4 pin but then I have a little 3 pin

[opaque saddle]

no accurate fan speed control

[dry pike]

Top image looks like an improperly connected RGB header. The arrows are the power and if you power that up it could fry the RGB.

[proud trellis]

shit

oh wait it’s in

on

I think I know what I did wrong now

so you see I’m the top image there are the 2 arrows

they weren’t in line and I just switched it round so they are in line and the RGB works

[dry pike]

ah nice, then you didn't fry the RGB, that can happen if you put power in the data ports sometimes

[proud trellis]

oh damn

I thought I did fry it when you mentioned it because at first the RGB came on and then it slowly faded off

[dry pike]

RGB headers are a mess, they are not standardized and it's one of the easiest thing to do wrong

if you ever get an rgb strip this is how it works https://eustore.cablemod.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/IMG_1864.jpg

[proud trellis]

this puts me off having RGB fans in the future tbh, i only have 1 RGB fan in my case and it was a pain to do

[dry pike]

oh yeah, RGB is a pain alright

[supple bane]

im not sure how you didnt spot that straight away

also you are lucky you didnt fry something

[opaque saddle]

tbh they should make a new standard to make it reversible

[arctic crag]

Yeah RGB makes me want to clean my eyes

[quick locust]

It's intel gpu generations

[arctic crag]

RGB is like watching tik tok you eyes will bleed

[quick locust]

Eh it's still decent enough

[supple bane]

rgb feels like the least standard thing that exists

so many proprietary connectors, hubs, softwares, form factors

its just a mess

[quick locust]

I don't bother with it

[opaque saddle]

i reckon the problem is... people tends to stick with old stuff

[supple bane]

my next build will have LED's but no rgb

[opaque saddle]

coz it is cheaper and they owned it

so there is no need to purchase a new one

[quick locust]

My front case led is molex

But I don't bother with rgb

[supple bane]

i used molex for the first time a few months ago also. that connector sucks.

[opaque saddle]

i gave up on molex

[supple bane]

its has no reassuring click and i couldnt tell if it was properly inserted

i hope i never have to use molex again

[opaque saddle]

molex is a fire hazard

[quick locust]

I don't like it but at least better than usb 3 connector

[opaque saddle]

i mean not all cables are made equally

[supple bane]

best connector. sata data..

most satisfying click ever. also doesnt take any force to insert or remove.

[proud trellis]

i want RGB but at the same time i just cba to deal with all the cables they come with

[supple bane]

i set all my devices to the same colour anyway so whats the point?

[opaque saddle]

i was using rj45 connector for hex data transfer, it was a good idea for 2 years

then the data corrupted

[supple bane]

may as well just buy stuff that is an permanent LED of that colour. so much easier

[proud trellis]

like i struggled there with 2 cables imagine if i have like 5 RGB fans in the future bruh

i have all my lighting set to purple apart from my cpu cooler

[supple bane]

6 devices

[proud trellis]

do you have no side panel on ?

[supple bane]

no

[proud trellis]

damn

[supple bane]

its usually on.

i was gonna send a pic of how not dusty my pc is earlier but i never did

and just havent put it back on yet :P

[proud trellis]

i have mine on but i have left the 2 screws at the top off and have wedged some cardboard inbetween my case and panel for extra cooling, idk if it actually helps but oh well

[supple bane]

sounds like a good way to shatter some glass.

[proud trellis]

its been like it for months

[quick locust]

I've got no fans with led

But I rather not

Software and cables is a mess

[supple bane]

luckily i can do all the rgb control in bios

so i dont need any software

[proud trellis]

i use corsair icue and it works with everything in my pc

i got rid of all the other stuff though for my mouse and keyboard like razer synapse and the logitech app

at first i thought a majority of people here had RGB in their pcs but it seems everyone hates it

[supple bane]

dont you need the logitech app to control your keybinds and dpi?

[proud trellis]

im not sure but my mouse is fine for me atm

[supple bane]

kids think it looks amazing. but they are naive to the misery it causes

they think it looks amazing cuz there favourite minecraft youtuber has an rgb pc

[quick locust]

Filters below get very dusty pretty quicj

[midnight crypt]

[quick locust]

Yeah the image is from a while ago

Took it before i did

[arctic crag]

Damn

[quick locust]

The grill is to direct the airflow and to prevent cables from hitting the blades

Something the torrent could use

[arctic crag]

So how do you clean those?

Air compressor?

[quick locust]

Yeah

And a bit of duct tape to prevent fan spinning

Not much just a tiny piece
