Do you have any SATA drives?
"check the drives for errors, scan the drives, run Trim/Optimze, use WD Dashboard to check for hardware errors"
how can i do these?
no, only 2 nvme
Ok m.2 looks good then
You have western digital drives, so you download WD dashboard there.
Click Start>> This PC >> right click a drive and choose properties, then the tool tab
both drives have no errors
I'm thinking of reinstalling windows because I also have this problem which I'm struggling to solve
If I reinstall windows, do I need to get any new windows licences? For windows, office etc.
you have corruption, I would first run Windows Memory Diagnostic, or Memtest86, if you don't have memory errors, I would clean the drives and install windows from a USB Drive, not from within windows, delete all partitions and start fresh.
No
License should automatically update in Winows license server matched to your motherboard mac address
will do it now. may i also have a link to the correct guide on doing this? i dont want to accidentally mess up something again like ive done in the past
ah ok
Windows 10 ??
Use the tool to create a USB media https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
you can right click start and choose system
make sure to note Pro or Home
Aight
Restart the PC to boot into the USB Media, don't run it from your corrupted OS.
Be sure to choose the correct SSD remember you have 2, delete all partitions
I would clear the other Game SSD as well.
Just Caution to back up your sensitive data it will be GONE FOREVER
DO YOU UNDERSTAND ??
Yes lol
I'm out, I'll check back tomorrow night feel free to ping me @last quest
When you mean clear, do you mean delete the games through the launchers? Or totally wipe the disk?
Aight
yeah totally wipe the disks, and delete the partitons
make like new. I would secure erase them, but thats just me.
Sure. Ik that I will keep my windows license, what about office?
Aight, what about the drive with windows?
@quick locust might know I have no idea about office.
yeah that one too. remeber to research how to boot from USB, you may need to enter bios menu, or boot menu to boot from USB check your motherboard manual.
Make sure your USB drive has a valid Windows 10 Installation media
if you have another PC it's useful
remember it's all at your own risk, but its not that big of a deal really I just don't want to be responsible if you get stuck.
So I can install windows into the usb with the pc I’m currently using, why do I need another one?
Sure
you don't you can download the windows 10 to usb from any PC
yes you can use the current PC
Sorry, just so I understand, I wipe the second drive, should I also wipe the first drive before installing windows?
Cool
you can wipe both drives when you boot into windows USB
Ah ok
it will show you the partitons, and both drives.
Sure
look up videos on fresh install from usb
Imma quickly put any files I wanna keep on a separate usb
Sure
You can reinstall it and use ms account
if you have a large external drive you can make backup images with western digital Acronis True Image free
I bought Office 2019 not too long ago, so I should be able to reinstall it with no extra charge?
I don’t have that many files to save so a small usb will be enough
okay for future reference this is free if you own Western Digital drives. https://support.wdc.com/downloads.aspx?lang=en&p=502
5-year license
thanks
imma install the usb thing now
Just checked office.com, apparently it doesn't detect that I'm using Office 2019?
should be there
you "might" be able to, but that's not guaranteed
keys are signed to your microsoft account, not the device, and they have a limited number of reactivation usages that can be applied on one key
additionally make sure your BIOS supports UEFI and the drive is in GPT format + USB in NTFS to proceed correctly with this installation
I don't see it there. I activated Office with a key via phone, would that be why?
which installation, windows or office?
windows
I've just checked through the conversation, don't proceed with this just yet
already deleted pretty much everything on my second drive
is windows the one on your main drive
yea
then you don't need to do any of this
force the upgrade to Windows 11, it will be much easier
i remember that my pc isn't compatible, it needs tmp 2.0 or something like that
where can i find it in bios?
also
i heard that windows 11 has worse gaming peformance?
no that's false, it has better actually
ah
there were some issues months ago during the early preview version which has less performance, it's been patched for a while
what's your motherboard
B-550-F Gaming
you'll find it under advanced - and fTPM
simply set the switch to enabled reboot and you're done
yes you can keep all your files
can i decide to do a clean install?
good, just my files are a mess and i would like to reset it
im just worried that i might need to reinstall office
the installer has either option available, it's your decision
buy again*
will do so now

you won't have any issues with OS activation, the installer will automatically extract the key you have now to register the upgrade
im aware of that, what about office?
office is a separate utility, there's no guarantee it will be so safe
I don't see why your key wouldn't work if you did physically buy it
if you did one of those gray market methods then don't expect it to work again
bought a key and activated by phone
third party?
maybe maybe
maybe
yeah so those are cracked keys it won't work again
activate secure boot whilst you're in the BIOS aswell, it'll save you from headaches later on
i think it already is
oh then you're good
aight
flip the switch run the installer and that's pretty much all you need to do
some updates when the upgrade is finished
in advanced, i only see: Advanced/AMD fTPM configuration - 2 options:
AMD fTPM switch - disabled (or enabled)
Erase fTPM NV for factory reset - enabled (or disabled)
@pale quartz
the switch
flip it to enabled
TPM 2.0 support is embedded directly within ryzen chips, this setting turns it on
any ideas for an hifi external dac with seperated(optional) optical in. high res 256/512 certified and supported balanced output for headphones upside the manufacturer fiio?
is there a good reason for intel to put an igpu onto a 700$ cpu ? wouldnt it make more sense to use that space for more cores or thermal management ?
theoretically, yes, but that isn't so straightforward to do
the iGPU on the chip in terms of the architecture is physically segregated during chip production away from the actual cores, so in order to add more cores/increase thermal management they would essentially have to redesign and validate an entire subset of their own chips
the iGPU is there mainly for people who do not have a dedicated GPU, laptops being the primary market, it just makes more practical sense really to have it included in terms of multiple market segregations
once you take it out and include the added expense for revalidation + extra cores the price will roughly come out the same, so there's no real financial motive on Intel's part to exclude it
what is this 24 bit or 32 bit support?
32 bit with 384khz/768khz sampling rate
Office as well
there isn't very many that support both 32 bit and balanced, ifi Zen dac v2 if memory serves right fits what you're looking for
@pale quartz sorry to bother again, do I download Windows 11 via this link, under Windows 11 Installation Media?
yes it has an online installer
can i just install the installation media on this website instead? https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11
install it in a usb using this pc, restarting it and then it should boot?
you "can" but there's literally no need
the installer has full support for clean wiping, just run through the GUI
i know, thats the reason why i asked if anyone has a idea for more
ah ok
only one I can think of off the top of my head
@pale quartz I got my Win 10 licence via a key, but I didn't need to activate it via phone or anything. Will it be fully compatible?
yes, your windows 10 license key is linked to your motherboard
ah cool
the installer will automatically extract the key for you once you upgrade
theres no manual intervention you need to
a secondary reason to use it
good to hear
the windows 11 file was running, then it closed, nothing seems to be happening, but when i try open the app again it says its running?
should be under here
oh, actually, make sure to rerun the health checker app
once it's all green itll work
ah found it, 71%
ignore the prior step ^
aight
thx for your answer. i found some more products at ifi. really thx 🙂 😘
np anytime
I installed W11 here, it gave me no option for a clean boot
..
it was a submenu option underneath the installer..
just factory wipe from the settings anyways youll get the same thing
crap didn't notice, it started downloading so i thought it automatically did so
aight lemme find it
System > Recovery > Reset this PC ?
yeah
well, it can be either, cloud just restores your onedrive settings, but it does that anyways
there are 4 settings: clean data, delete files from all drives, delete workspace resources, download windows.
I turned all on, but should clean data be turned on too?
youll want clean data too yeah if you want to wipe the drive
sure
@pale quartz so this whole time, the pc restarted, the screen before you access windows where you can go into the bios became glitchy, and this whole time the pc is showing a black screen, and every now and then the monitor says it loses connection for about a second then to normal, but still black screen this whole time
Is that normal?
will be till you have your drivers installed lol
you kind of wiped your drive, ofc it'll be unstable
I mean this whole time it’s basically a black screen for the past 15-20 mins, is that ok
Windows by default installs drivers for it
oh, should be fine yeah
Not the newest but some
it'll do that itself
Ah cool
(not) GPU drivers, i was just forgetting that factory wiping also takes with it a few restarts
Yeah, but it does install gpu drivers too eventually
it will, quite neat with microsofts distribution packages
Not the most recent version but usable
BAD WINDOWS INSTALLING STUFF I DONT WANT USE LINUX
Linux already has them included except nvidia, where you get unofficial nuveau driver
its fine just npm download the entire linux repo, no issues.. hopefully
deletes file structure package in the process
Just take entire github
But nah anyway, drivers are already included in kernel in most distros
Besides nvidias
pretty sure Linux has the hacky glitch API embedded to allow Nvidia GPUs to be shown at all without drivers
Not really
It's ok ish
It's like windows basic graphic drivers but better
But their official is much better
accelerate 10% of your card the other 90% you must pay a mandatory Nvidia copyright license fee to use CUDA properly on Linux
the future of monetisation
They used to do it
yeah well just wait, it's returning for Intel's future SKUs
ARM implements a nuclear explosion for OEMs 2030
you think about the x86 ISA the CPU detonates
Nvidia showed a laptop with mediatek cpu and rtx 3060
Running arch linux as windows still had agreement with Qualcomm
Which I think is expired by now?
it did, but Microsoft already opened support for Windows on ARM64
Hopefully cause Qualcomms SoCs have sucked so far
ironically AMD and Intel's biggest threat in laptops isn't each other but actually Qualcomm
Yeah, if only their chips hasn't been horrible so far
Wish they could give M1 competition
Lenovo is vendor-locking its AMD Ryzen based platforms with AMD PSB including its Ryzen Pro ThinkCentre Tiny platforms. We just purchased an AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 5650GE system and found that AMD PSB was enabled from the factory. This means that the CPU can only be used by Lenovo-signed systems.
STH Main Site Article: https://www.servethehome.com/len...
pretty much as soon as QC properly implement GPU acceleration for high power parts intel AMD and apple are all finished for any portable device that mandates high power longevity
they dont come anywhere close to what qualcomm can output for watt/power, literal laughing stock by comparison
Wish mediatek had more influence
Bruh
what
I guess an update increased ram usage or something
Keeps having OOM issues for quite a while
memory leak?
seems like with all the processes exceeding bounds
@pale quartz So I installed W11, and I made the same mistake. I moved the default file location of 'Pictures' from C: to D:, now it looks like that the WHOLE D: drive is 'Pictures' now. What do I do?
It's not even using that much
might be a leak somewhere
since it did it randomly at 4-5 am where noone was using it
16 module 8 GB stick lol
just change this lol
does anyone knwo why my download is at 0 and it wont change my dad turned off the pc for joking around
So you ended up upgrading to 11 from within the corrupted windows 10 install. You should have installed windows 10 from the USB media so you could delete the old partitions and create new ones., and then upgrade to 11 in a clean OS whhich could have been done anytime, and if there were issue you could revert back to clean windows 10 not the corrupted Win 10. but I guess as long as it works.
At least you have activated your Win11 license now, so you can use either one 10 or 11
anyone know if a 6GB 1660 super with an i7 11700 can run 2042?
minimum is 1050TI so yeah I would think it could run it, not sure how maxed out the settings will be though, I would try 1080P AUTO, or Low-Med. Here's a video of it someone made. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iSwGngJuYI
its gonna run like ass
1660 super and ti are extremely similar to eachother, this benchmark is with a 5800x but you have an 11700 which isnt THAT much worse. id expect similar performance myself considering some optimization since launch
ok thanks
We bought the ASUS ROG GL10DH pre-built gaming PC to test vs. other $1000 to $1500 prebuilts. The ASUS system is uniquely positioned, mostly because it's neither amazing nor trash.

LoveLace Ada AD102 chip 600W TGP
27 Gbps GDDR6 is happening
AMD launches Radeon PRO W6400, a 50W workstation card with 6nm Navi 24 GPU
https://t.co/KUBtzksOij
nice e-waste
AMD removes its blog post claiming ‘4GB VRAM is not enough for games’, right before introducing RX6500XT graphics
https://t.co/57wcTNIZ4y
123
should I use DirectX12 for BF1? Specs: Ryzen 5 5600X, RX 570 8GB, 16GB RAM
Worst thing about 6500XT is the limited bandwidth of PCIe 4.0 x4
Yeah
Even if you have older PCIe 3.0, still 4 lanes
Performance loss of up to 120%
Only consider this GPU if you have a PCIe 4.0 motherboard, if you have older standard then look for a GTX 1650 Super or RX 580 instead
but like why x4?
its not a laptop gpu
also from gamer nexus' testing on pcie gen3 its slower than a 1050ti
PCIe 4.0 x4 so like 0.3% of the whole gaming market will actually be able to make full use of the 6500XT

So many people still on PCIe 3.0 boards
I'm still on PCIe 3.0 and my 2080 does not ever use a fraction of the available bandwidth.
The issue with 6500XT is 4GB vRam
I have a 1650 Super on PCIe 2.0 and no issue as well..
I tested with 3D Mark just to see if the meter was reporting correctly, The Benchmark was 86% of the PCIe 3.0 Bus, at 12.10 GB/s I have never seen the card get past 50% ever, usually only a few percent on normal basis.
pcie 2.0 x16 is twice as fast as pcie 3.0 x4
also gn tested pcie 3.0 x4 vs pcie 4.0 x4 and the performance difference is obvious
Yes this is true, but what I'm saying is a 2080 uses max 7% - 10% of PCIe 3.0 Bus Interface while playing 2042.
^
That 4GB card is not going to care about x4 lanes
Yeah it doesn't make sense that 6500XT is bottlenecked by PCIe 3.0 x4
Radeon did something wrong
I wish I had a bigger card to test with I would like to see the max saturation of PCIe 3.0 with a 3080/TI playing a game.
Probably the 6500XT has a bus limitation on itself
What's the memory bus speed on the 6500XT
32-bit? lol..
Memory Interface 64-bit
Memory speed is 2.25 GB/s
So the issue with PCIe 3.0 x4 is due to the 4GB vRam limit, and causing the card to starve for more bandwidth to access the system memory.
So yes 3.0 x8 would alleviate the issue, the problem is still 4GB vRam limitation. So at lower resolutions and games that don't require more then 4GB the 3.0 x4 will be fine.
youre wrong, the card has a 64 bit memory bus and an effective memory speed of 18Gbps which will result in 144GB/s of memory bandwidth
as you can see I posted it has 64-bit. which is low. and the issue is vRam limitation
yes sorry your correct there
but this wrong
no it's on the spec page, in Gigbit/s to confuse people
Memory Speed 18 Gbps
it's like an 8 lane highway for a bicycle
yes times bus width(64) and divided by 8 to get GByte and not GBit
a geforce 210 (ddr3 vram and 64bit bus) has more than 2gb/s of bandwidth xd and thats the worst gpu listed on techpowerup
but yes x8 3.0 would help the card I admit, but only so it can access and use system ram
Maybe I'm wrong here
in gta v the card got outperformed by a gtx 970 with 4gb of ram
in other games its better than a 980ti with more mem bandwidth and more vram
its obvious something went really wrong but its not really clear what the problem actually is
Does anyone know how to fix battlefield V fps drops and stutters?
yeah 980ti has 6GB of vRam so it does not need as much system ram
also the 980ti is 16x
Ohh you said it beat the 980ti, sorry I thought you said the other way around
I guess you need a really powerful modern PC to use the low-end card lol..
Wait I thought this card was beat by 1060, 970, 960, and RX 580
First what is your System specs?
i5-9600k, rx-6600xt, 16gb ram, game is on nvme m.2 ssd
is your GPU in the top slot of your motherboard?
Yes
what is your CPU usage at?
60/70
when Idle? or when gaming?
when gaming
and GPU usage?
im in a game right now, cpu is around 70%, gpu is around 60% with 4.5gb of vram used
yes depending on the game thats why i said it impossible to derive a reason from the benchmark results which all over the place
that's odd GPU should be at 100%
Should it?
I don't have experience with modern ATI cards though
just because the cpu ist not at 100% doesnt mean that there is no cpu bottleneck
well I know from experience the 9600K is good
yes it is but that doesnt mean that there is not a bottleneck
However not in 2042
in fact there is one if the gpu ist not at 100%
maybe not necessarily a hardware issue but maybe software.
Is the CPU usage for entire system, or just 2042 usage?
I got this gpu over christmas, had an NVidia card before
In games like New World I have both my CPU and GPU hitting 100%
yes true, but it could be caused by something, but cpu is low usage still has overhead, could be game optimization as well.
Feel like if the cpu was bottlenecking here then it would be in the 90s
how are other games?
a game doesnt use the complete cpu overall cpu usage is a useless measurement for cpu bottlenecks
with a 64 core threadripper you would have a really really bad cpu bottleneck in any game and cpu usage would be like 5% xd
That's a threaded optimization issue
Havent tested too many, getting very good fps in New World, Witcher 3 but got shit fps in Fallout 76 (people say its badly optimised though)
@eager sun But if the game cant utilise multicore surely single core usage would be maxing out
yes but that "issue" exists since forever its normal for a game to not use everything available
How about drivers, did you clean the AMD drivers, and clean install current Nvidia drivers?
nah you cant look at it that way its not that simple
vise versa sorry
I believe so
anyone using a threadripper on 2042?
not 100% gpu usage -> cpu bottleneck
i really hope not xd
Well personally I would, I use HEDT
I use a workstation currently to play 2042, I get 100% GPU usage and 30% CPU
But why would the gpu have to work at 100% if the game doesnt require it?
what resolution are you gaming at?
the game doesnt "require it" your gpu will go as fast as it possibly can if the cpu can keep up
thats cpu bound, try higher resolution, and or higher settings
if you can easily hit 75 cap then your usage will be less
are you using Vsync, Gsync, freesync?
if your running into fps cap you cant take gpu usage and say its a cpu bottleneck
threadripper is worse at gaming, so is most HEDT
not that you couldn't
so are locking 75fps vscync
my cpu better then most at 2042
you have to play uncapped fps to derive anything from gpu usage
wait nvm, im not using any sync, just manually capped
what is the monitor refresh rate?
75hz
okay, so now im getting around 130/150 fps and both gpu and cpu are 90% + usage
if you are not using vsync or freesync or both, why cap fps?
manually setting fps cap same as refresh rate without any sync is not recommended youll get screen tearing straight from hell
otherwise the game feels even less smooth
if you didnt notice already xd
but your issue was studdering correct?
yep.
Yeah stuttering and the game feeling not smooth
this
- extra added not smoothness bcs 75fps is kinda not enough imo
so if you have Freesync, and vsync set on, set fps cap to 75 or below, I usually turn off vsync cause I would rather have tearing then latency
in some games vsync latency isnt that bad maybe bf2042 is one of them
just using freesync would be an option though freesync on and cap at 74 will prob work better than vsync
yeah I have not really tested in 2042, it's one of those habbits just set it and forget it, I need to fine tune mine.
agreed
im happy i have gsync its the best feature ever my eyes would prob bleed if i had to play without it
I don't have an AMD card since ATI
dont use vsync in competitive games
and more fps=less input lag no matter of screen hz
I know, but bfv isnt exactly competitive
I have gsync as well, pretty nice
old module gsync
though I could use a gsync compat monitor in future
well it actually is
Yes but more fps causes the gameplay to not be smooth
Same I was using 60hz for years and years, and switched to 144hz G-Sync Compatible and it's a whole different experirnce, been on these for 3+ years now, I picked up 2 more so I have IPS instead of TN now. 4 monitors, but only using 3 on my setup.
not for me at least
@lunar dawnwere you able to check your ram ?
what do i need to check lol i forgot
aida64 latency and bandwidth
I could get IPS next time, though this TN monitor isnt bad with viewing angles
oh right i ll do that anyway my ram is 16*2 crucial max 5100mhz, running at 4600 (not stable at over that) and tweaking timings rn im trying cl17
TN on my laptop is much worse
bruv thats like 1k$ ram
yeah honestly both are fine, but the ips is bit better on colors requires less tweaking
well i got it like for like 300 euros
so eh not a bad price i guess
i bought like a year ago during black friday
better response time (if you only care about that)
my laptop blows, buts win11 compatible at least
still better pixel response time on tn if you only care about gaming and not good colors
i5 100?G
compared to ips tn really looks like shit but as long as i only look at tn i dont care
the newer ips has better pixel response now
i have 2 pcs, my second pc is a laptop with a 1070 120 watts and i7 8750h
well yeah but in talking about average mainly because tn is cheaper and at that price point pixel response time is better on tn
that said i prefer va lol
I have 30 or 40 PCs specs are all over the place. lol..
better contrast but worse pixel response panel
like ... what
ssh?
any desk?
like why so many
I just have a bunch of older stuff
I've doing PC repair for years, and just acquired a lot over the years. plus I have a pc in every room for HTPC, and main Media server
I should sell some of it off sometime
I have anything from Windows 3.1 to Windows 11
I only mess with my own stuff, I'm not authorized
My soldering is bad but better than the job they did in my headphones 
I'm a PC hobbyist and do PC repair as a hobbie for family friends etc... just been into since 85' off and on, steady since 1999
i sold a 2080ti for 1.5k euros (what i originally paid for it 2 years ago)
:)
then i got a 3090 for 1.2k almost a year ago and now im pretty happy
same
i want to upgrade the cpu but i dont want to throw away a 400 dollars mobo
and finding a new would be a mess
I have a 780 SC I could sell, brand new EVGA RMA card in the box
what mobo do you have ?
my motherboard has been decent, wish it had 2,5 gigabit ethernet though
I RMA'd a GTX 285 FTW a few years ago, and they sent me 780 SC
asus rog strix maximus hero (z390)
got it for like 350-370 euros iirc, wich is like 400 dollars i think
that was 400$ for you ? i paid 330€ for z390 apex
i paid 280 usd for z390 aorous pro
i bought from amazon that was mistake
100 usd toll to enter country
well yeah lol
If I upgraded to Windows 10 from a legitimate Windows 7 can I create a Windows 10 installation media using the product key on my current W10 PC to install to a new PC so I don't have to spend $100 on a copy of Windows 10? Please @ me if you reply so I get the notification.
I paid $99us for the last Z390 I purchased ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming 4 in 5/19/2019
~4 months after 9900k release though thats maybe the reason
perhaps
i think you can create a windows installation media from windows 7 itself
really cheap
I can still upgrade from 7 to 10 for free?
if windows 7 is activated yes
if not you get the activate windows thingy
wich doesnt matter that much tbh
yes but only after you upgrade, and then you have a digital license yes.
and you can get oem keys for 10 dollars or less
you dont even need a key to install win10 also you can buy a win10 key from relatively serious sites for like <15€
You must upgrade from Win7 before doing a fresh custom install
has supermicro stopped making consumer intel boards
or did they just take long for z690
i have never seen a supermicro consumer board in my (pc) life which started with z170
their newest is still their z590
Yes there are videos to show you how, and once you upgrade check that its activated with digital license, then you can proceed with custom fresh install. I've done this probably 20 times for people
indeed they sell consumer boards i literally never came across a supermicro board though
Thanks for the replies everyone.
Building a PC is expensive enough without the looming shadow of paying for a copy of Windows lmao
There are ways to get around it
the fact that asus and gigabyte build these boards which means they actually sell that stuff is ridiculous

I prefer to purchase software
weird biostar motherboards
Biostar is still around?
yes
If its not my pc i just pirate it
I used to back in the day when I could not afford it, but I don't feel right so I purchase everything, otherwise I just find a free alternative.

12100 is epic
wonder when a new TR series comes
lets hope mb manufacturers add the required funtionality to non 700$ boards otherwise its useless for normie people
highest asus z690s costs more than dual socket xeon boards
infact twice as much
lol
and twice as much as their TR pro board

vram i guess
4GB because if it were 8GB it would simply not exist, at least for gamers
Miners would buy the fuck out of that
beat miners and scalpers by releasing a card with no demand
Highest demand is in the low-mid range
theres some stock in stores now
of gpus
but still pretty expensive
at least not vaporware anymore
Eeh 4gb of vram for this card that's as strong as a rx 570 isn't decent
It's as slow as a 1050Ti with PCIe 3 but with PCIe 4 it beats a 1660
8GB would definitely be beneficial but we would never see one if that were the case
idk anyone that would mine here rn anyway
with electricity prices exploding
148 percent price increase in 2022
and it was already highest in europe

not sure if mining would still be profitable here at all
prices
Electric company here in Texas is anticipating the next winter storm we have so they can charge stupid high prices again
We had a $3600 electric bill from that last storm
Normally it's around $200 a month lmao
same in italy
not seen anyone that actually has 6500xt yet here
i do a little bit of mining while i sleep (undervolt and limit wattage)
or while im at school
Probably hasn't even shipped there yet 
kinda wish i went with an intel NAS
though this is still decent
i need more than 1 drive though..
NAS is too slow for me on 1Gb/s network. I use it sometimes, but with combining 2 NICs to double to 2Gb/s
Which is still a waste of SSD performance
I was trying to figure out a way to connect to a NAS with USB 3
It would be more like an external drive at that point
my NAS has 10 gig built in
but I can never reach that with 4 HDDs lol
maybe if i did 4 SSDs
even then
yeah maybe with 4 SSDss
in sequential
but I doubt the AL-314 cpu could handle that
Could anyone tell me why a crash like this happens? It happens every single time I play a game, I've been trying to solve it for over a year (one reason why I want to build a new PC). If its not my GPU I could save on one more part as my RX480 would still be satisfactory for games at 1080p.
The new AMD Radeon™ RX 6500 XT graphics card, featuring the breakthrough AMD RDNA™ 2 architecture, has the fastest clocks on a gaming graphics card and offers impressive 1080p performance in AAA and eSports titles.

step down*

RAID 0 will give you about 600 MB/s
which is less than half still
yeah but 4 times faster, you don't have bottleneck
sure its more than 2,5 gbe though
My whole network is 1Gb
though i would not run a NAS in raid 1, more likely raid 6
same
I'd need new NIC and switch for anything above
no idea, but this isnt support channel
my cables can do 2.5 but my NIC and switch wont
I prefer on board storage, but with the recent drop in SATA ports, I need to find a future external solution. or start using RAID Cards, but I already use up my PCIe slots with SSDs and Audio interfaces
Depends on what the crash is, if there is report, or just shuts down, the last alternative before buying a new pc, is to do a clean OS install, but IDK your situation.
I feel like it's my PSU. I don't crash under heavy CPU, I've run benchmarks for hours without crashing. I don't crash under heavy GPU load alone, I've run Furmark for hours with my GPU maxed out with no crashes.
I only crash when both my CPU and GPU are under load, playing games.
If I play Civ6 I crash consistently in about 30 minutes. If I play Civ5, 90 minutes. Jurassic World Evolution, 8 minutes.
Does that sound like a PSU issue?
is like 250 usd
it does sound like a psu issue, but does it power off and go black?
That's what happens, computer still sounds like it's running at full speed
x2 wonder if they can be paired for 20Gb
games are not a heavy load
ohh these are SFF cards yeah that's what I was going to do in the past
yeah and that's just the card, you will need one on each PC if doing external, and cables, I estimated my last RAID build to be in the thousands of dollars, I just went with Onboard Intel Raid is very good, and cheap AF
ye
those are external raid cards
yeah
but that would be overkill
Unless you have multiple PCs needing access the DATA on the NAS it's rediculously expensive when their are USB 3 solutions, and Onboard Solutions
yeah
i could just do 10 gbe just to a switch
then multiple could access at once without a bottleneck
1 gbe each
even that's expensive still
would be pretty useless though
with my use
1 Gbe is fine honestly
i do want more drives instead of 1 though so I actually have any chance of recovering files lol
ohh yeah 10Gb capable and 1Gb per user.
if I had 3 more I could do raid 6
but that'd be
300 usd ish
for three 4 TB drives
also i would have to move everything before doing the raid but it would be easier now than when it gets more full
yeah it's getting close in price to SSD, but newer cheaper SSDs are going to die before HDD, that's just my opinion though.
I've been on these 6 drives since 2017 RAID 0
yeah I've been on 850 Pro, 970 Evo Plus, SN750, 860 EVO, 850 EVO, CS900, etc.... but it's when start doing massive file transfers writing is what the nand cells, and with super multi layer ssds I don't see them lasting
I'm actually using a Samsung 980 now for an L2 cache on my RAID 0
but its a shitty NVMe
but it doesnt really matter to use it as I only have 1 HDD anyway
yeah my 850 Pro is old
I can't post pics yet, when and how do you level up in this server?
with regular, and i do not know the requirements
that or booster
they changed regular since i got it i think
yeah I'm subbed to death already
but yeah I just need 3 more N300 drives
then my NAS is fine for a while
I had a lot of OOM issues after an update for some reason though
so i changed it to 8 GB even though 4 should be more than enough
a lot less hours than my drives
ahh wrong drive
i actually dont write to disk much
on my SSDs
I guess because I have plenty of ram so I rarely use pagefile/swap
wow that drive has a lot of use, jeeze
507,843 written is that SSD WOW! thats crazy
mines 12,289GB written
my intel ssd is 54968
over 4 yrs
it has started to reallocate sectors though
its my only ssd that has done it so far
my 850 Pro is like 6 years IIRC only 12,289 written
my 860 evo has 14 TB after a bit over one
but its not a system drive
my laptop has 11538 GB after 3 years
My 970 Plus is 8.1TB OS Drive
I have 500GB 870 Evo to test it's still in the box
well I disagree, I load into 2042 much faster then SATA ssd
for me is around same
between intel 600p and MLC sata drive
pretty quickly but then there's all the intro cutscenes which i wish they removed sometimes lol
I have to wait on my friend with SATA SSD, I have 2042 on a dedicated SN750, OS on 970 EVO Plus
I have my OS on the nvme
i'm always first, a few load at the same time
Star Citizen will load at 1 minute on NVMe, 2+ minutes on SATA, and up to 30 minutes on SATA HDD
I can load in at 1:12 on my RAID 0 HDD, but its cached in 980
no I mean when open game to menu
never took me long time
I usually time it
that prefail is a fail safe, just saying its old
no thats just the type
that's not bad.
although due to covid ive not used the laptop as much
in 2020 and 2021
since ive just been at home
Type: The type of the attribute. Either “Pre-fail” for attributes that are said to indicate impending failure, or “Old_age” for attributes that just indicate wear and tear. Note that one and the same attribute can be classified as “Pre-fail” by one manufacturer or for one model and as “Old_age” by another or for another model. This is the case for example for attribute Seek_Error_Rate (ID 7), which is a widespread phenomenon on many disks and not considered critical by some manufacturers, but Seagate has it as “Pre-fail”.
not sure how long I've used the 970 evo plus seems like 3 years only 8 TB written
I'm on original OS install
IIRC
you can check hours on the drive
2040 hours
no errors on any of my SSDs except my intel one
which keeps building up bad sectors over time

970 EVO Plus 500GB Purchased 3/21/2019 | 2040 hours | 8.1TB Written | 1607 power cycles
2551 power cycles, 16836 hours
5458 hours on my laptop
which is the only drive it has had, so thats the time ive used the laptop since 2019
I think mine is not accurate, it's almost like I turn it off an on every hour which is not correct.
I guess restarts and all that is counted as well.\
yeah it doesnt match up, the SN750 is about same age, and has been installed on here the same time.
5093 hours 1543 power cycles
13 TB read 5 TB Written
HELLO
hi
Can anyone help
Cause I’m signed in. It’s saying that I need to sign into the account that purchased the game ( no shit lol ) or that if the trial is over visit store and purchase, wich I own the game
Nope I’m on Xbox
are? or Are NOT?
Ohh Xbox Console?
Yeah
Sorry I have no idea
Dam
maybe try another channel
I'm going to update Crystal Disk Info
I was using 8.3.2 doubt it will matter though
Well its the same, but the power on count is fairly consentient with my WD Black 2TB, SN750 and evo plus. so I have power cycled my PC 1607 times in 3 years, jeez...
pc on and off twice a day, plus days I didnt use it, I've power cycled my PC about 4 times a day
Maybe the drives sleep and it counts that
Do you use Rapid Mode? on Samsung SATA SSDs
no
Some are faster
I just tesed my 256GB SD Card
92.36 MB/s Read
82.45 MB/s Write```
It's a Sandisk Extreme V30 U3 A2 Micro SD Card.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FCR3316/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I opened that 870 Evo, crappy quality, the enclosure is actually put together crooked.
Mine is also Micro but I tested it on USB 3 port
noone:
QNAP: if our crappy photo and video app doesn't work, here's a bunch of terminal commands to run in SSH
I just use SD port
I had to get the V30 cause my camera would not do 4k30 or 1080P60 video with a standard class 10 SD Card.
No I can record slow motion and all the good stuf
yeah I mean once a photo is uploaded somewhere is low quality anyway.
yea
though i do want better video i guess sometime
but then I want something better than SD
720p is still plenty decent
alright so
the terminal commands are just to wipe my cache
now for the slow AL-314 cpu to rebuild it which takes many hours
gee thanks Microsoft
you have QNAP NAS, does it have USB 3? that's I would do it.
yeah it does
i just put it on laptop then NAS
Don't think I have an usb 3 to micro sd
I know it’s not battlefield but do you I can run dying light 2 with a i5 7500 gtx 1070 16gb ram
my webcam, even, does 1080p60
run yes, run well no
Oh okay damn, thanks
np
mine is 640x480
Looks like I’ll need to put everything to low lol
dated hardware 101
its a 2019 laptop
7500, rip
1080/1080ti still good
well no one would buy a pascal card now of course
i mean someone who still has a pascal card will still have a decent experience
yeah you'll run it
yo is a vega 56 equivalent to an rx 6600?
breathtaking
equivalent? no, perform similarly? circumstantial
tbh depends
i get 100 fps on my second pc (laptop) at 1080p med on a 1070 laptop
i kinda modded it with liquid metal
and removed the mesh
looked at benchmarks the 6600 is better
AMD Ryzen 5800GX is a suggested design to put Navi 24 GPU and Zen3 chiplet on a single package Twitter user Olrak (@Olrak29_) better known for his diagrams of the upcoming Navi 3X GPUs proposes a design of AMD Ryzen 5800GX processor.

This would be one hell of an APU
so im thinking of moving my Windows 10 from my HDD to my SSD but am worried imma fuck it up and ruin my whole pc 
when i turn off or put my computer to sleep
and wake it up again
i get ''disconnect'' and ''connected'' sounds
like when my monitor goes to sleep after inactivity
is it a problem with my video cable
🤔
i mean it works properly
its just
this sound is annoying as hell
what the fuck
My PSU: finally, a worthy opponent

Comparing a 3050 with RT and DLSS enabled to the 1050
This happens to me sometimes as well
Wish i knew the cause
anybody knows why these artifacts appear?
not mine btw, a friend's pc
he has ryzen 5 1600 and rx570
happens in many games
wouldnt be worth it at all then
is that only on that game?
overclocked gpu ?
no
you can see in the screen that its running at 3400ghz
1600’s max stock speed is 3600
yes thats cpu but i mean gpu
Why would nvidia release their 3050 junk
harsh
I guess they're bad 3060's so they're probably trying to push them out
dying gpu then maybe, you usally get these artifacts when overclocking a bit too much but if you get them stock smth is wrong
he could try underclocking and check if the artifacts go away
if its artifcating you should downclock the memory.
ye that looks like memory artifacts
if its old and not overclocked, probably close to death
anybody here running the 511.23 nvidia drivers on battlefield? any issues?
@karmic barnonly is you use Nvidia image scaling or DLDSR
Thats only started afyer the patch. Game works if your using the correct resolution though.
I was upscaling from 1080p to 4k using Nvidia image scaling for better quality and fps, but back to low fps now 😦
And to think I upgraded from a 1200 watt to an 850 watt, Now I guess we're going back up in power consumption. Oh Well.
i don't, so i should be fine.. i just tried it out.. seems good (so far). thanks for reply tho
When your PC sleeps so does the USB, SATA Ports, etc.. when it wakes up your devices are just re connecting. Totally normal. I turn of all sleep functions in BIOS.
I started using Precision X1 today, I have not used it in years when it was just Precision. My card is boosted to 2010 I was trying for 2042 though.
this isnt really tech but does anybody know how to keep your cat off the computer so its doesnt explode from no airflow
hiss at it
actually got it going at 2040mhz
The motherboard I'm using for my sister's new PC is saying it can auto overclock a 5820K to 4.6Ghz 
I think it wants to set itself alight
4.6 is easily achievable on that CPU, I ran the 5930k at 4.5 like it was stock.
ASUS board?
in battlefield 5, my game crashes on startup without an error message can anyone help?
Na this is an ASRock
ASRock is solid, been around for years, my kid is on an ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming 4 as we speak
Come to think of it my oldest kid is on the same thing Z170
X99 was probably the easiest boards to overclock, I can change like 1 thing and done
If I'm going really high I manually set the voltage though, but for 4.5GHZ just change the frequency to 45 on all and good to go.
as long as it's a good cooler
I've never been a fan of ASRock tbh, the only couple of boards I had from them died pretty quickly
That sucks, I've used them a bit always solid, but EVGA is my go to, but lately they don't have anything, probably use ASUS on my next build.
Asus has been my go to, haven't been able to buy EVGA boards as they don't stock them at my store of choice
Plus I was burnt by that 1080 FTW thing with EVGA

What happened?
You don't recall that hubbuble?
Was a fan issue?
The first gen 1080 FTW cards from EVGA would have the caps randomly explode/set alight
Ohh wow, and they didn't recall them?
Which happened to mine, blew 12 or so tiny caps
Nope, no recall
No extended warranty
So it was out warranty, but was a known issue?
They just released new cards with overkill stuff
Was discovered a year or so in warranty
They had a free "fix" kit which was a couple thermal pads
But I neglected to get it so I got stuck with a dead card
They expected the user to fix, no RMA? that crap.
Thankfully I had a 2080ti on the way and that's been great
I've purchased loads of GPUs from them, and only had 4 dead cards, 780 FTW died after 3 years of heavy very heavy use. A GTX 285 FTW died after 10 years, they replaced it with a 780 SC, and 2 8800GTS 512s in SLI used for nearly 10 years hard, I did not bother to RMA them.
Maybe 100+ cards total
Yeah I understand how an experience like that can tarnish their business.
Is the 2080TI an EVGA card?
It is but it's an NVIDIA board
Rebranded Card
Ye
Founders edition
Or reference PCB
yes, cause custom design and manufacturing is expensive, so there's no point doing low to mid end cards with them
would just waste money
a lot bought 1080 ti Armor for that
the cooler was horrible but you could just get it cheap then watercool
the days before the crisis
EVGA Precision X1 does not work with 2042. sucks
at least rtss does
@humble iris any aversion to afterburner?
Hey I'm looking at a monitor with its horizontal width at 9 inches, the purpose of it is just a side monitor for discord and movies
What's a good option
Res being 1080
Only 7" (diagonally, not horizontally) 1024x600p USB powered monitor would be available for now, that is around 70-100 dollars. At that price, you could get a small 21-24" 1080p monitor on clearance. Or maybe you can install a software to sideload your tablet screen. It is far too expensive for a 9" screen
that is 7"
it makes your ipad or android device as a 2nd monitor

Intel can easily produce more GPUs than Nvidia or Radeon combined, owning fabs is a big advantage
Not certain on whether these GPUs are built in-house or outsourced to TSMC
Or both
There's been rumours tho that there is sometimes cheese stuck on the inside so that's kinda peak
Tsmc
For first gen arc
Same node as 6500 XT and W6400
Ye so they will have to compete with Intel
For supply
As well as some of Nvidias compute cards iirc
7nm to 6nm is like 14nm to 12nm
Yes
Iirc 3rd gen 7nm is better than first gen 6nm
N7+ is about the same density as first gen N6
N7 and N6 are made in the same fabs and use the same tools
So supply won't see improvement imo
Intel 1.8nm in 2025
Bet there will be delays tho
Like all of Intel's nodes for the past decade
i9-12900HK stomps Apple's M1 Max in just about any CPU workload, even with a power limit that makes it draw about the same power as the M1
Gg Apple 
What's the hk part denote?
Everyone gets a 6500XT
🤣
My friends 12600k scored over 20k in cinebench
Alderlake is goated
do you guys know anything about battle field v
too bad
console gamers lol
yall mean lol
Hi there people, can you help me understand a thing? I just got on thie server. How does the voice channels work? How are people able to listen to the game and the voice channel at the same time? My headset is connected to the ps4, not the mobile phone I'm using for discord. I'd appreciate the feedback guys!
You have to play on the same machine you are using discord on. If you play on ps4 and are on the dc with your phone you wont be able to „combine“ both into one headset
That's what I thought, thanks. Which device beside PC can handle the game and discord at the same time? No one?
Which Cinebench, R15?
In about a year when I upgrade to Sapphire Rapids-x I might end up going with an intel GPU, I got burnt out on getting shafted by Nvidia, and AMD is just as bad. As soon as AMD had a CPU Player on the market they jacked prices so it became irrelevant to what they stood for. Intel all the way for me next, I hope these GPUs are as great as we hope for, will bring prices down as well. I was once on a full Nvidia platform, Nvidia 780i Motherboard Chipset, and GPU, Nvidia was threatening to start making CPUs. Intel was working on a GPU. this was years ago, but finally Intel is doing it. Remember Intel Larrabee that got canceled? I'm going full Intel if it works out.
How long is that test supposed to run? I never finish it, seems to just loop forever.
@humble iris that could be a good idea as I just read a headline that stated 'Nvidia Officially Increases European Prices on RTX 30-Series GPUs'
Scalper prices coming back to haunt us? Maybe Nvidia think if people are prepared to pay stupid money for a card, then we'll sell them more expensive
