humble iris
#

Do you have any SATA drives?

last quest
#

"check the drives for errors, scan the drives, run Trim/Optimze, use WD Dashboard to check for hardware errors"

how can i do these?

last quest
humble iris
#

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

last quest
#

both drives have no errors

#

If I reinstall windows, do I need to get any new windows licences? For windows, office etc.

humble iris
#

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.

humble iris
last quest
humble iris
#

Windows 10 ??

last quest
#

(Using the windows diagnostics tool)

humble iris
#

you can right click start and choose system

#

make sure to note Pro or Home

last quest
#

Aight

humble iris
#

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 ??

last quest
humble iris
#

I'm out, I'll check back tomorrow night feel free to ping me @last quest

last quest
humble iris
#

yeah totally wipe the disks, and delete the partitons

#

make like new. I would secure erase them, but thats just me.

last quest
#

Sure. Ik that I will keep my windows license, what about office?

last quest
humble iris
#

@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.

last quest
humble iris
#

yes you can use the current PC

last quest
last quest
humble iris
#

you can wipe both drives when you boot into windows USB

last quest
#

Ah ok

humble iris
#

it will show you the partitons, and both drives.

last quest
#

Sure

humble iris
#

look up videos on fresh install from usb

last quest
#

Imma quickly put any files I wanna keep on a separate usb

last quest
humble iris
#

yeah a second usb, not the same one\

#

take your time

quick locust
humble iris
#

if you have a large external drive you can make backup images with western digital Acronis True Image free

last quest
last quest
humble iris
#

5-year license

last quest
#

imma install the usb thing now

last quest
quick locust
#

should be there

pale quartz
#

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

last quest
last quest
pale quartz
#

windows

#

I've just checked through the conversation, don't proceed with this just yet

last quest
pale quartz
#

is windows the one on your main drive

last quest
#

yea

pale quartz
#

then you don't need to do any of this

#

force the upgrade to Windows 11, it will be much easier

last quest
pale quartz
#

your pc is compatible

#

you need to turn it on in the BIOS

last quest
#

where can i find it in bios?

#

also

#

i heard that windows 11 has worse gaming peformance?

pale quartz
#

no that's false, it has better actually

last quest
pale quartz
#

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

last quest
#

B-550-F Gaming

pale quartz
#

you'll find it under advanced - and fTPM

#

simply set the switch to enabled reboot and you're done

last quest
#

ah cool

#

another question

#

whilst installing to win11

#

will files reset?

pale quartz
#

yes you can keep all your files

last quest
#

can i decide to do a clean install?

pale quartz
#

none will be changed

#

you can

last quest
#

good, just my files are a mess and i would like to reset it

#

im just worried that i might need to reinstall office

pale quartz
#

the installer has either option available, it's your decision

last quest
#

buy again*

last quest
pale quartz
#

you won't have any issues with OS activation, the installer will automatically extract the key you have now to register the upgrade

last quest
pale quartz
#

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

last quest
pale quartz
#

third party?

last quest
pale quartz
#

yeah so those are cracked keys it won't work again

last quest
#

ah ok

#

well imma activate tmp 2.0 then

pale quartz
#

activate secure boot whilst you're in the BIOS aswell, it'll save you from headaches later on

pale quartz
#

oh then you're good

last quest
#

aight

pale quartz
#

flip the switch run the installer and that's pretty much all you need to do

#

some updates when the upgrade is finished

last quest
#

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

pale quartz
#

the switch

#

flip it to enabled

#

TPM 2.0 support is embedded directly within ryzen chips, this setting turns it on

brittle root
#

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?

eager sun
#

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 ?

pale quartz
#

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

pale quartz
brittle root
pale quartz
last quest
#

@pale quartz sorry to bother again, do I download Windows 11 via this link, under Windows 11 Installation Media?

pale quartz
last quest
#

install it in a usb using this pc, restarting it and then it should boot?

pale quartz
#

you "can" but there's literally no need

#

the installer has full support for clean wiping, just run through the GUI

brittle root
pale quartz
last quest
#

@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?

pale quartz
#

yes, your windows 10 license key is linked to your motherboard

last quest
#

ah cool

pale quartz
#

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

last quest
#

good to hear

last quest
pale quartz
#

oh, actually, make sure to rerun the health checker app

#

once it's all green itll work

last quest
pale quartz
#

ignore the prior step ^

last quest
#

aight

brittle root
pale quartz
#

np anytime

last quest
pale quartz
#

..

#

it was a submenu option underneath the installer..

#

just factory wipe from the settings anyways youll get the same thing

last quest
#

crap didn't notice, it started downloading so i thought it automatically did so

last quest
pale quartz
#

yeah thats it

last quest
#

aight

#

cloud or local, i assume local

pale quartz
#

yeah

#

well, it can be either, cloud just restores your onedrive settings, but it does that anyways

last quest
# pale quartz yeah

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?

pale quartz
#

youll want clean data too yeah if you want to wipe the drive

last quest
#

sure

last quest
#

@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?

pale quartz
#

will be till you have your drivers installed lol

#

you kind of wiped your drive, ofc it'll be unstable

last quest
#

I mean this whole time it’s basically a black screen for the past 15-20 mins, is that ok

quick locust
#

Windows by default installs drivers for it

pale quartz
#

oh, should be fine yeah

quick locust
#

Not the newest but some

pale quartz
#

it'll do that itself

last quest
#

Ah cool

pale quartz
quick locust
#

Yeah, but it does install gpu drivers too eventually

pale quartz
#

it will, quite neat with microsofts distribution packages

quick locust
#

Not the most recent version but usable

pale quartz
#

BAD WINDOWS INSTALLING STUFF I DONT WANT USE LINUX

quick locust
#

Linux already has them included except nvidia, where you get unofficial nuveau driver

pale quartz
#

its fine just npm download the entire linux repo, no issues.. hopefully

#

deletes file structure package in the process

quick locust
#

Just take entire github

#

But nah anyway, drivers are already included in kernel in most distros

#

Besides nvidias

pale quartz
#

pretty sure Linux has the hacky glitch API embedded to allow Nvidia GPUs to be shown at all without drivers

quick locust
#

Not really

#

It's ok ish

#

It's like windows basic graphic drivers but better

#

But their official is much better

pale quartz
#

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

quick locust
#

Don't give them ideas

#

:P

#

Intel considered that as well

pale quartz
#

ha

#

so you think

#

"considered"

quick locust
#

They used to do it

pale quartz
#

yeah well just wait, it's returning for Intel's future SKUs

quick locust
#

And AMD has vendor lock in even on AM4 now

#

Time to make my own cpu

#

Jk

pale quartz
#

ARM implements a nuclear explosion for OEMs 2030

#

you think about the x86 ISA the CPU detonates

quick locust
#

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?

pale quartz
#

it did, but Microsoft already opened support for Windows on ARM64

quick locust
#

Hopefully cause Qualcomms SoCs have sucked so far

pale quartz
#

ironically AMD and Intel's biggest threat in laptops isn't each other but actually Qualcomm

quick locust
#

Yeah, if only their chips hasn't been horrible so far

#

Wish they could give M1 competition

pale quartz
#

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

quick locust
#

Wish mediatek had more influence

quick locust
#

what

#

I guess an update increased ram usage or something

#

Keeps having OOM issues for quite a while

pale quartz
#

seems like with all the processes exceeding bounds

quick locust
#

I suppose

#

After updare

#

Update

last quest
#

@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?

quick locust
#

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

abstract tendon
#

does anyone knwo why my download is at 0 and it wont change my dad turned off the pc for joking around

humble iris
#

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?

humble iris
#

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

formal oak
#

ok thanks

quick locust

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.

midnight crypt
#

nice e-waste

quick locust
last quest
#

should I use DirectX12 for BF1? Specs: Ryzen 5 5600X, RX 570 8GB, 16GB RAM

latent light
quick locust
#

Yeah

latent light
#

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

lunar dawn
#

its not a laptop gpu

#

also from gamer nexus' testing on pcie gen3 its slower than a 1050ti

latent light
#

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

humble iris
#

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.

eager sun
#

also gn tested pcie 3.0 x4 vs pcie 4.0 x4 and the performance difference is obvious

humble iris
latent light
#

^

humble iris
#

That 4GB card is not going to care about x4 lanes

latent light
#

Yeah it doesn't make sense that 6500XT is bottlenecked by PCIe 3.0 x4

#

Radeon did something wrong

humble iris
#

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.

eager sun
#

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

humble iris
#

as you can see I posted it has 64-bit. which is low. and the issue is vRam limitation

eager sun
#

yes sorry your correct there

eager sun
humble iris
#

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

eager sun
humble iris
#

Either way the card is trash.

#

4GB is good for older games

eager sun
#

a geforce 210 (ddr3 vram and 64bit bus) has more than 2gb/s of bandwidth xd and thats the worst gpu listed on techpowerup

humble iris
#

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

eager sun
#

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

orchid pelican
#

Does anyone know how to fix battlefield V fps drops and stutters?

humble iris
#

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

humble iris
orchid pelican
humble iris
#

is your GPU in the top slot of your motherboard?

orchid pelican
#

Yes

humble iris
#

what is your CPU usage at?

orchid pelican
#

60/70

humble iris
#

when Idle? or when gaming?

orchid pelican
#

when gaming

humble iris
#

and GPU usage?

orchid pelican
#

im in a game right now, cpu is around 70%, gpu is around 60% with 4.5gb of vram used

eager sun
humble iris
orchid pelican
#

Should it?

humble iris
#

I don't have experience with modern ATI cards though

eager sun
humble iris
#

well I know from experience the 9600K is good

eager sun
humble iris
#

However not in 2042

eager sun
#

in fact there is one if the gpu ist not at 100%

humble iris
#

maybe not necessarily a hardware issue but maybe software.

#

Is the CPU usage for entire system, or just 2042 usage?

orchid pelican
#

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%

humble iris
orchid pelican
#

Feel like if the cpu was bottlenecking here then it would be in the 90s

humble iris
#

how are other games?

eager sun
#

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

humble iris
#

That's a threaded optimization issue

orchid pelican
#

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

eager sun
humble iris
#

How about drivers, did you clean the AMD drivers, and clean install current Nvidia drivers?

eager sun
humble iris
#

vise versa sorry

orchid pelican
#

I believe so

humble iris
#

anyone using a threadripper on 2042?

eager sun
#

not 100% gpu usage -> cpu bottleneck

eager sun
humble iris
#

Well personally I would, I use HEDT

#

I use a workstation currently to play 2042, I get 100% GPU usage and 30% CPU

orchid pelican
#

But why would the gpu have to work at 100% if the game doesnt require it?

humble iris
#

what resolution are you gaming at?

orchid pelican
#

1080p

#

capped 75fps

eager sun
humble iris
#

thats cpu bound, try higher resolution, and or higher settings

quick locust
#

if you can easily hit 75 cap then your usage will be less

humble iris
#

are you using Vsync, Gsync, freesync?

eager sun
orchid pelican
#

Im using v-sync

#

Free-sync is weird imo

quick locust
#

not that you couldn't

humble iris
#

so are locking 75fps vscync

humble iris
eager sun
orchid pelican
#

wait nvm, im not using any sync, just manually capped

humble iris
#

what is the monitor refresh rate?

orchid pelican
#

75hz

#

okay, so now im getting around 130/150 fps and both gpu and cpu are 90% + usage

humble iris
#

if you are not using vsync or freesync or both, why cap fps?

eager sun
#

manually setting fps cap same as refresh rate without any sync is not recommended youll get screen tearing straight from hell

orchid pelican
#

otherwise the game feels even less smooth

eager sun
#

if you didnt notice already xd

humble iris
#

but your issue was studdering correct?

orchid pelican
#

Yeah stuttering and the game feeling not smooth

eager sun
#
  • extra added not smoothness bcs 75fps is kinda not enough imo
humble iris
#

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

eager sun
#

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

humble iris
#

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.

eager sun
humble iris
#

I don't have an AMD card since ATI

lunar dawn
#

and more fps=less input lag no matter of screen hz

orchid pelican
quick locust
#

I have gsync as well, pretty nice

#

old module gsync

#

though I could use a gsync compat monitor in future

lunar dawn
orchid pelican
#

Yes but more fps causes the gameplay to not be smooth

humble iris
orchid pelican
lunar dawn
#

i mean not competitive is like red dead redemption 2

#

or any single player game

eager sun
#

@lunar dawnwere you able to check your ram ?

lunar dawn
eager sun
quick locust
#

I could get IPS next time, though this TN monitor isnt bad with viewing angles

lunar dawn
#

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

quick locust
#

TN on my laptop is much worse

humble iris
#

yeah honestly both are fine, but the ips is bit better on colors requires less tweaking

lunar dawn
#

so eh not a bad price i guess

#

i bought like a year ago during black friday

lunar dawn
quick locust
#

doesnt really matter on a laptop i never game on

#

besides its 1080p 60

humble iris

I should sell some of it off sometime

humble iris

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

lunar dawn
#

:)

quick locust
#

i probably could as well, but then I'd have no gpu

#

Other than a dead 2080

lunar dawn
#

then i got a 3090 for 1.2k almost a year ago and now im pretty happy

lunar dawn
#

i want to upgrade the cpu but i dont want to throw away a 400 dollars mobo

quick locust
#

and finding a new would be a mess

humble iris

Building a PC is expensive enough without the looming shadow of paying for a copy of Windows lmao

humble iris

yeah, they always ruin it

#

I would never allow my cat on my PC though

quick locust
#

highest asus z690s costs more than dual socket xeon boards

#

infact twice as much

#

lol

#

and twice as much as their TR pro board

#

3060 beats the snot out of the 3070 at 4K in a few games

quick locust
#

vram i guess

latent light
#

Yep

#

Another reason why 3070 should of had more

quick locust
#

since 3060 ti and 3070 both suffer

#

meanwhile 4 GB 6500 xt CursedCat

latent light
#

4GB because if it were 8GB it would simply not exist, at least for gamers

#

Miners would buy the fuck out of that

quick locust
#

beat miners and scalpers by releasing a card with no demand

latent light
#

Highest demand is in the low-mid range

quick locust
#

theres some stock in stores now

#

of gpus

#

but still pretty expensive

#

at least not vaporware anymore

digital hill
#

Eeh 4gb of vram for this card that's as strong as a rx 570 isn't decent

latent light
#

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

quick locust
#

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

latent light
#

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

quick locust
#

rip

#

we have gas heating so

#

rip our heating cost this year

lunar dawn
quick locust
#

not seen anyone that actually has 6500xt yet here

lunar dawn
#

i do a little bit of mining while i sleep (undervolt and limit wattage)

#

or while im at school

latent light
quick locust
#

kinda wish i went with an intel NAS

#

though this is still decent

#

i need more than 1 drive though..

humble iris
#

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

quick locust
#

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

slim mirage
#

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.

quick locust
#

step down*

humble iris
quick locust
#

which is less than half still

humble iris
#

yeah but 4 times faster, you don't have bottleneck

quick locust
#

sure its more than 2,5 gbe though

humble iris
#

My whole network is 1Gb

quick locust
#

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

quick locust
#

my cables can do 2.5 but my NIC and switch wont

humble iris
#

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

quick locust
#

also SFP+ cards seem a bit pricy

#

for the 10 gbe

humble iris
slim mirage
# slim mirage Could anyone tell me why a crash like this happens? It happens every single time...

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?

quick locust
#

is like 250 usd

humble iris
quick locust
slim mirage
humble iris
quick locust
#

games are not a heavy load

humble iris
# quick locust

ohh these are SFF cards yeah that's what I was going to do in the past

quick locust
#

kinda pricy

#

also lol when your NIC needs fans

#

this single one is pretty cheap

humble iris
#

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

quick locust
#

ye

humble iris
#

those are external raid cards

quick locust
#

i wont need external raid card

#

just nic and cabling

#

and switch i guess

humble iris
#

yeah

quick locust
#

but that would be overkill

humble iris
#

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

quick locust
#

yeah

humble iris
#

But it's fun none the less

#

lol..

quick locust
#

i could just do 10 gbe just to a switch

#

then multiple could access at once without a bottleneck

#

1 gbe each

humble iris
#

even that's expensive still

quick locust
#

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

humble iris
#

ohh yeah 10Gb capable and 1Gb per user.

quick locust
#

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

humble iris
#

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.

quick locust
#

i have one SSD with 600 TB written lol

#

and its 256 gb

#

👀

#

its from 2014 though

humble iris
#

I've been on these 6 drives since 2017 RAID 0

quick locust
#

ive been using N300 HDDs

#

works well

#

better than my intel ssd..

humble iris
#

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

quick locust
#

yeah this intel ssd as cache would not last long

#

lol

#

and chia would kill it

humble iris
#

I'm actually using a Samsung 980 now for an L2 cache on my RAID 0

quick locust
#

nice

#

i used to use the 256 GB MLC ssd I have

humble iris
#

but its a shitty NVMe

quick locust
#

but it doesnt really matter to use it as I only have 1 HDD anyway

humble iris
#

yeah my 850 Pro is old

quick locust
humble iris
#

I can't post pics yet, when and how do you level up in this server?

quick locust
#

with regular, and i do not know the requirements

#

that or booster

#

they changed regular since i got it i think

humble iris
#

yeah I'm subbed to death already

quick locust
#

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

humble iris
#

850 Pro

quick locust
#

a lot less hours than my drives

humble iris
#

ahh wrong drive

quick locust
#

i actually dont write to disk much

#

on my SSDs

#

I guess because I have plenty of ram so I rarely use pagefile/swap

humble iris
#

wow that drive has a lot of use, jeeze

#

507,843 written is that SSD WOW! thats crazy

#

mines 12,289GB written

quick locust
#

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

humble iris
#

my 850 Pro is like 6 years IIRC only 12,289 written

quick locust
#

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

humble iris
#

My 970 Plus is 8.1TB OS Drive

quick locust
#

nice

#

all my ssd are 256 gb except the 860

#

and the 256 gb intel is the only nvme

humble iris
#

I have 500GB 870 Evo to test it's still in the box

quick locust
#

but that rarely matters as games dont benefit much from nvme yet

#

over sata ssds

humble iris
quick locust
#

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

humble iris
#

I have to wait on my friend with SATA SSD, I have 2042 on a dedicated SN750, OS on 970 EVO Plus

quick locust
#

I have my OS on the nvme

humble iris
#

i'm always first, a few load at the same time

quick locust
#

even though i could just have it on my sata

#

I do have Linux on my 860 though

humble iris
#

Star Citizen will load at 1 minute on NVMe, 2+ minutes on SATA, and up to 30 minutes on SATA HDD

quick locust
#

weird it loads much faster for me

#

on all types

humble iris
#

I can load in at 1:12 on my RAID 0 HDD, but its cached in 980

quick locust
#

takes 1-2 min for me on HDD

#

but

#

its very stuttery

#

due to texture streaming

humble iris
#

no I mean when open game to menu

quick locust
#

never took me long time

humble iris
#

I usually time it

quick locust
#

for my laptop

humble iris
#

that prefail is a fail safe, just saying its old

quick locust
#

no thats just the type

humble iris
#

ohh

#

11 TB writes

quick locust
#

yeah

#

after 3 years

humble iris
#

that's not bad.

quick locust
#

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”.

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!

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
