Eh they both do fine

stark bobcat
#

u can underclock it and if it s stable then the cpu has degraded

ashen spindle
#

while cpus can run a decade without issue, running stock doesnt meant they are guaranteed to run that long at stock

vagrant pagoda
#

AMD was bulletproof in the phenom days

cursive summit
#

Only reason I ever touched the BIOS was to turn on virtualizer for my VM to work dogekek

ashen spindle
#

if you have bad luck yours might not run stock at the current settings anymore

stark bobcat
#

if that doesn't fix it it might be something else or the cpu is ded

vagrant pagoda
#

Cpus would take anything

fair gull
vagrant pagoda
#

In would bet thermalpaste degrading before cpu

stark bobcat
#

the cpu in the rig I am using rn is well over that

ashen spindle
cursive summit
#

Tell that to people who are still happily using 1st and 2nd gen Intels

vagrant pagoda
cursive summit
#

i5-2500K was great

vagrant pagoda
#

It ran sub ambient for 5 years

stark bobcat
#

I am using a xeon w3680 rn

#

good cpus

fair gull
#

runs great

halcyon moss
#

lol

vagrant pagoda
#

4.3ghz at 1.55v

stark bobcat
#

uhhhhhhh source

halcyon moss
#

you're just talking outta your arse

vagrant pagoda
#

But there isn't a set temperature

fair gull
#

no

halcyon moss
#

regurgitating

ashen spindle
#

they dont even measure temperature the same between different generations

final flame
#

CPUs normal working temperature is at around 65c

ashen spindle
#

and every generation has different characteristics on how much they are affected at a given temperature

stark bobcat
#

"Although most Intel processors reach Tj Max or Throttle temperature at 100°C (212°F)"

fair gull
#

my cpu can run well over 90degrees diode temp and then throttles

final flame
#

lol no, 65c is quite a healthy temp

cursive summit
#

Seems that my DRAM rn is at stock 2400MHz clock

#

I turned off the PSU for solid 5 mins, still bootcycles constantly

fair gull
#

most my customer machines i test also can go up to 100degrees basically

astral haven
#

Some people don't understand the difference between power and thermal throttling and it shows

cursive summit
#

It seems that the BIOS works just fine

#

But as soon as the motherboard tries loading SSD contents it shits the brick and dies

fair gull
#

100 is bigger than 65

final flame
#

laptops usually under heavy load run the CPU until it throttles at around 100c

fair gull
#

this is across generations of intel cpus

#

my guy they dont thermal throttle at 65

stark bobcat
#

intel tjmax on desktop cpus is usually 100C

final flame
#

^

cursive summit
#

I wonder if the Intel "SSD is at 60% health" is what died on me

astral haven
final flame
#

65c is on the cold end for silicone, running at that temp will be fine for even long term

ashen spindle
#

65C cpu package could also just mean some cores are at 40c and one is running at 90C since we never even mentioned its a core temp and not package

astral haven
#

Nah Intel swapped package to mean the highest temp sensor a while ago

ashen spindle
#

in the 6600k already?

astral haven
#

Your ram probably is

stark bobcat
stark bobcat
astral haven
stark bobcat
#

65C really is not hot for silicon

ashen spindle
#

different products also work differently, a ram chip isn't made the same way a cpu or gpu is

final flame
#

^

astral haven
#

And ram chips use dimm temp sensors not built in ones

#

Bdie starts to have issues at 90c tdie, but that can be as low as 50c tdimm

wheat plume
#

the Deck screen is automatically turned sideways, so the screen was built to run in portrait mode initially?

stark bobcat
#

soon I will be able to dial my bdie in

#

was such a waste of time to even attempt with the imc on the 2600x

ashen spindle
#

then we have the classic nvme situation where you want one part warm one part cold for optimal efficiency dogekek

final flame
#

isnt there not definitive evidence cooling ssds makes a difference

#

in performance or long life

ashen spindle
#

I dont think it affects performance, just efficency

stark bobcat
#

anyone got any settings I should start at?
I wanna do 1:1:1 on a 5600
The topology on the mobo is T-topology I am running 4x8 b-die I wanna run 1.35v but I could also go 1.45

ashen spindle
#

get some glue so you have 2x16 sticks and it gets easier dogekek

astral haven
#

fuck amd for not giving access to rfc? i think it was

#

or was it refi

stark bobcat
astral haven
#

eh you can use those tuned timings as a baseline for the new system

#

it takes actually 5 minutes to deal with the faw group

vagrant pagoda
#

My 5800x3d dose 1900flck

#

Running 3800cl16 pretty tight timings

#

Not bad on 16gb sticks.

astral haven
#

fclk is basically independent from the ram quality tbh

somber schooner
#

no it's not

#

oh

#

esiy

#

wait

#

yes

#

ur right

vagrant pagoda
#

Lol

somber schooner
#

i read it as dependent

#

sorry

vagrant pagoda
#

That's why I said my 5800x3d dose 1900 fclk

astral haven
#

yap

vagrant pagoda
#

The 3800cl16 is really good for 16gig sticks

somber schooner
#

trfc u can still tune down a shit ton depending on the sticks and your cooling, but ye trefi is not accessible on amd

astral haven
#

yea my bdie can take such long intervals its actually crazy

#

it cant clock very high, but damn does it not leak

somber schooner
#

i got 2 sets of DR bdie for 200 bucks rub

#

though i overpaid for the mobo in the package deal but still coming out ahead anyways

astral haven
#

i got 64gb of dr bdie for like 160

somber schooner
#

nice

wheat plume
#

File Explorer crashed real badly .-.

somber schooner
#

person didn't know what they had?

astral haven
#

ecc too

#

nah

#

oem

somber schooner
#

oh

#

wat bin?

astral haven
#

doesnt matter they are all identical

vagrant pagoda
#

I think if I went to 2 sticks I could get 15 it even 14

astral haven
#

think it was the 2400 bin?

somber schooner
#

theyre not all identical

#

i mean

#

in the big picture yeah they perform mostly the same

astral haven
#

2133 2400 and 2666 are identical

somber schooner
#

oh

#

ok yeah

#

i havent explored sub 3200 bin

astral haven
#

oem samsung sticks is all you can get for bdie (ecc)

stark bobcat
astral haven
#

and there are only those 3 bins

somber schooner
#

gotcha

#

ye i got 3200cl14 64gb of it for 200

#

which is pretty good all things considered

#

wonder if it'll do better than my 4266cl17 bin which is cursed

#

but higher bins usually give better voltage reqs

#

4000cl14 bin only needs 1.44v for 3800CL14

astral haven
#

my sr 32gb kit i got for 23 per stick came with 3200 flat 14

1.5 ms rise/fall with minimal overshoot

stark bobcat
#

Fellow asrock enjoyer

somber schooner
#

now we wait and see what the 500hz can do rub

stark bobcat
#

I doubt asrock has the best mem oc tho

somber schooner
#

his tests in every review are always jank btw

gusty kiln
#

Yeah

somber schooner
#

but it still looks better than the 360hz ips

stark bobcat
#

Dunno what topology the tachi is

somber schooner
#

need companies to send ashun monitors

gusty kiln
#

Link?

vagrant pagoda
gusty kiln
#

Never heard of this person

somber schooner
#

oh

#

he changed channel name to his website name

#

his reviews are extremely good, writes written ones too with tons of tests/pics/measurements

vagrant pagoda
#

And b550 not x570

stark bobcat
#

Ye

gusty kiln
#

Oh wait I've seen him before

astral haven
#

x570 is sad times

vagrant pagoda
#

But for 64gb

#

I'm happy

somber schooner
#

asrock b550i is pretty good for ram topologyfqsd

stark bobcat
#

Well topology is one thing

somber schooner
#

wtrf is going on iwth my discord

#

sorry

#

i did not mean to put topology

stark bobcat
#

There are more variables

somber schooner
#

it fucking autofilled

vagrant pagoda
somber schooner
#

yes

#

true

vagrant pagoda
#

For latency tuning

somber schooner
#

b550 unify x is beast

vagrant pagoda
#

You absolute clock speed you want an xoc board

astral haven
#

crosshair gene hype

somber schooner
#

rub (not mine)

#

god i wish i bought the 4000cl14 DR bin when it still existed

#

shit is so ridiculous

stark bobcat
#

Did they ever fix usb issues? My asrock board still has them

somber schooner
#

think so? i havent experienced any at least

stark bobcat
#

Wooting board has made it more noticeable

somber schooner
#

hmm

#

x570s unify x max seems rly good too but 🤔

astral haven
#

just buy b550 and monolithic chip

vagrant pagoda
#

In closer to 60ns

#

48 is dope

somber schooner
#

well aida is a troll benchmark leaderboard but its still very impressive thing to get stable regardless

astral haven
#

i am very very very happy to hear that am5 is all promontory (for now)

vagrant pagoda
#

Don't think you can 2100 fclk on a X3D though

ashen spindle
#

what they fixed is the issue where wooting boards would not work at all in some usb port/device combinations for a while now

somber schooner
#

you can, just extremely rare

#

i know dom got it running

astral haven
#

stable tho?

vagrant pagoda
#

I've seen 2100 once on a x2d

astral haven
#

because just because it boots doesnt mean its working

somber schooner
#

album

vagrant pagoda
#

Soc volts were sky high

astral haven
#

what the actual hell wow thats impressive

ashen spindle
#

isnt aida small enough to fit into the v cache so the latency test effectively doesnt work or was that another benchmark

astral haven
#

no

vagrant pagoda
#

1.2 vsoc is scary lol

astral haven
#

IMLC can be run in a mode that doesnt defeat cache, but it also can bypass cache on x3d

astral haven
#

also my cpu has more cache than x3d and its a laptop chip stevedab

astral haven
stark bobcat
#

🙄

astral haven
#

reason it can happen on b550 is bc the bug is in the 3k/5k iodie
and x570 physically is a 3k/5k iodie

stark bobcat
#

X570 is sadness

astral haven
#

only way to avoid the bug is b550 and 5000g cpu

#

or zen 2 and x470 or earlier

ashen spindle
#

better solution

astral haven
#

the advice i get from amd fanboys tho is dont fkn use fewer usb devices and it irritates the heck out of me when people say that

ashen spindle
vagrant pagoda
#

I've never have a USB issue

ashen spindle
#

cant have usb issue if you arent using usb

vagrant pagoda
#

I just have a 2.5g.issue

ashen spindle
#

yeah same also never had any issues since they fixed the original issue of it not working at all

astral haven
#

yea technically the issue is the chip itself crashing
so anything that requires qos will also crash

#

but anything that can queue can be fine

#

if you are running benchmarks on nvme devices, you can see the activity drop to zero while the controller reboots

#

and it will pick right back up no problem now

#

if you have audio over usb, some devices will skip, some devices will crash, and some devices will bsod the computer

#

fkn scarlett

somber schooner
#

amd xd

astral haven
#

scarlett drivers shouldnt bsod the computer if you unplug the device while playing music tho

somber schooner
#

if 13th gen gives uplift in the games i play i move to that and sell my rig(s)

#

windows 7 is less buggy on intel anyways it seems

astral haven
#

ew

ashen spindle
#

oh god why are you on the internet with win7

vagrant pagoda
#

Never had issue with USB audio. Is it only if you use chipset pcie?

ashen spindle
#

but yes 13th gen will likely take the crown till zen4 v cache in hopefully Q1 next year

#

aside from the games where intel showed they still lose to the 5800x3d dogekek

astral haven
vagrant pagoda
somber schooner
#

depends, overwatch and val are a lot more ram/mem bound than single thread perf, so it's pretty possible that a 5800x3d will still outdo in my use case. + zen4 v cache would require me to get mobo + ram + cpu vs just new cpu

vagrant pagoda
#

And 2.5g

somber schooner
#

^for me

vagrant pagoda
#

But I think my 2.5g issue is from the actual Ethernet controller

somber schooner
#

realtek or intel?

#

ive heard ppl have rng issues with realtek 2.5g lan

ashen spindle
#

uhh if you go to intel you will also need a new board, unless you already are on ADL?

somber schooner
#

i have a board sitting around that i got on sale for good price

vagrant pagoda
astral haven
#

pretty likely that its the controller if its realtek cause you really dont have the bandwidth to crash the controller unless you use a bunch of usb drives

astral haven
vagrant pagoda
#

So Intel with shitty drivers

astral haven
#

so probably realtek

somber schooner
#

what board

vagrant pagoda
#

It's intel

#

And a known issue with the board

astral haven
#

happens

#

you can trigger the usb bug using 2 usb ssds tho

somber schooner
#

unfortunate

vagrant pagoda
#

If you force it to 1g no issues

#

With 2.5g you have to reset the link once aday

#

It it will do 2.5 speeds fine.

astral haven
#

yea thats really a shame

stark bobcat
#

I always have all usb ports populated and I do get the usb issues sometimes

astral haven
#

just buy a 2.5 to usb adapter lmao

#

or a 5g one, those exist now i think

vagrant pagoda
#

Yeah I will just get a x670 with 10g

#

I got this before I had spare 10g ports

astral haven
#

i want that gen 5 active riser lel

#

then i can do 100g regardless of the board

cursive summit
#

So yeah

#

Reseating ram and cmos didn't do anything

vagrant pagoda
astral haven
#

same

vagrant pagoda
#

The x570 has a x8 chipset

cursive summit
#

People are saying that whea18 likely is a cpu voltage issue

astral haven
#

i have the ws x570 lel
dont need to tell me

vagrant pagoda
#

Idk why the x570ws is only 2.5g

#

Should be 10g

astral haven
#

its not

#

1g only

stark bobcat
cursive summit
#

My current ryzen 3600 voltage is 1.44V

vagrant pagoda
#

ASRocks pro is 10g

cursive summit
#

Is that too much

stark bobcat
cursive summit
#

Peeps are saying to downclock to 1.25V

astral haven
stark bobcat
#

Putting the voltage down won't do anything now that it's degraded

cursive summit
#

Thing is I have never really done OC before on this board so I have literally no clue how to do it

stark bobcat
#

U need to lower the voltage and clockspeed

somber schooner
#

is that something you manually entered?

#

or is it just the auto shit

stark bobcat
#

If it's auto behaviour blame asus

astral haven
#

gotta remember the auto voltages are solidly over the actual silicon voltage

somber schooner
#

@ 1.44v

#

ye

vagrant pagoda
#

I would get the x570 Xtreme if I could get a good deal

#

10g + x4 chipset that doesn't share with a m.2

cursive summit
#

Is this how you set a clock?

astral haven
#

god please do not do that

somber schooner
#

don't overclock

#

unless you are going to follow a guide

cursive summit
#

Wtf else am I supposed to do

somber schooner
#

leave shit at auto?

cursive summit
#

I need to downclock it to 1.25V

#

It's at 1.45V

astral haven
#

dont touch it

#

no its not

somber schooner
#

if the 1.45v is something you haven't manually touched at all, leave it

#

the auto voltages go up and down and are intended to work like that, they're not static

cursive summit
somber schooner
#

how did you get here...

astral haven
#

you reset the bios to factory and it bootloops?

somber schooner
#

like how did you get to 1.45v where it keeps you stuck in bootloader

stark bobcat
vagrant pagoda
#

How do you know it's a 1.45 is it's bootlooping

astral haven
#

^

stark bobcat
#

If that boots u know the problem

cursive summit
#

Sigh

#

Whea18

#

Ryzen issue

astral haven
#

whea 18 can be from many many things

#

i would first recommend power switch off, remove cmos battery, press power button, put cmos battery back in, power switch on

cursive summit
#

I dunno if you read but like 4 mins ago I already said I did all of that

vagrant pagoda
#

Whea18 for me has always been 8pin cable

astral haven
#

if you did not follow those exact steps including physically removing the battery please do now

vagrant pagoda
#

Bad cable or psu

astral haven
#

battery out of case for over 30 seconds with no power to the computer

stark bobcat
#

I doubt it's a cable but I am not super familiar with this issue

astral haven
#

yea ive seen it before

#

usually 24 pin tho not being fully seated

vagrant pagoda
#

Or again bad psu

cursive summit
#

This motherboard is terrible, there's no option for CPU clock tuning

vagrant pagoda
#

A noisy 12v rail will do it

astral haven
#

psus have alot of capacitors to go bad

cursive summit
#

PSU is fine

vagrant pagoda
cursive summit
#

My issue is 0xd01a0ffe00000000

#

That's the event view reported thing while I could still access the PC

#

It was restarting constantly

#

Now it doesn't boot at all

vagrant pagoda
#

I'm going with power issue 100%

astral haven
#

wow its almost like its a random hardware issue that could be basically anything

vagrant pagoda
#

Sounds exactly like power delivery getting worst and worst

astral haven
#

^

#

most likely its psu but it could be board

vagrant pagoda
#

Modular PSU?

cursive summit
#

Corsair vs650

astral haven
#

yikes vs

vagrant pagoda
#

Yeah

#

80 white

#

Oof

astral haven
#

at least its not cx tho lel

final flame
#

I forgot white even was a thing

vagrant pagoda
#

Do you have a spare psu to test with,m

cursive summit
#

Uhh

vagrant pagoda
#

Or atleast reseat all the cables.

shadow minnow
#

Any 40 series GPUs still have good old 8 pin connectors?

#

And two HDMI 2.1s

cursive summit
#

It just fixed itself

vagrant pagoda
cursive summit
#

Okay I fucking hate Asus motherboards

astral haven
#

did you take out the bios battery?

vagrant pagoda
#

Atleast leaked do

cursive summit
#

Listen to this one

#

This is jokes

vagrant pagoda
#

4 8pins

shadow minnow
astral haven
#

asus

cursive summit
#

I wanted to downclock the cpu to 3200mhz

astral haven
#

you wont get 8 pins tho

shadow minnow
#

But what about my nice cables pepecry

cursive summit
#

There is no option for that in Asus bios

astral haven
cursive summit
#

I press on something called "OC tuner'

ashen spindle
#

just accept you dont need uncompressed video stream for your SECONDARY monitor and you have a ton of options

shadow minnow
cursive summit
#

Instant restart and the PC works

shadow minnow
#

I have the Corsair set

#

Of braided cables

astral haven
cursive summit
#

So an option called 'OC tuner' somehow crashed the motherboard and it reset

#

What the fuck

final flame
#

I have a bitphoenix set of cables

vagrant pagoda
#

You can get aftermarket cables that are direct to 12pin

ashen spindle
#

for most amd stuff you want to use ryzen master, even for XOC

astral haven
#

nah

#

not for xoc

#

all the ryzen master settings are available in bios

ashen spindle
#

not for offsets that you first need to set but for the rest

astral haven
#

you set the ryzen master settings in the amd oc section of bios

#

that way you dont have that very broken program running

#

ooooh actually i have an idea of what I want
I want 2 x16 slot motherboard
top x16 slot is labeled and designed to fit a riser card that has 4 m.2 slots

#

or bottom x16

#

either or

stark bobcat
#

So someone changed something

#

On german train in the middle of nowhere rn so hardly any internet

#

@cursive summit from the screenshot I think it's in offset mode meaning not auto this would mean someone changed something but it's been a while since I used my asus mobo

#

Could be wrong

#

Or is that just you trying to do 1.25v?

cursive summit
#

I was trying to do 1.25V

#

But I gave up since peeps said that was wrong

#

So I looked around for CPU freq clock options

#

Couldn't find any

#

Found an option called "OC tuner", pressed enter

#

It asked "do you want to tune your oc option", I was like sure, accept

#

Motherboard restarted and booted into windows log in screen with no issues

#

I was like wtf, it just fixed itself out of the blue

#

So I did nothing, waited a bit

#

It didn't seem to restart, it was sitting on login screen

#

I was like, crisis averted? Typed in the password

#

Instant restart

#

Back to bootloading

astral haven
#

oc tuner is automatic overclocking

cursive summit
#

So I'm rn updating the motherboard bios

astral haven
#

vexx

#

did you ever physically remove the battery

cursive summit
#

Yes?

#

Click on the CMOS clip, battery popped out

#

Waited 5 mins

#

Put it back in and properly seated it

astral haven
#

with the power to the computer unplugged?

cursive summit
#

Obviously

astral haven
#

and you pressed the power button during those 5 mins?

cursive summit
#

PSU turned off, cable unplugged

stark bobcat
#

Is it actually required to press the power button I never had to do that

astral haven
#

its the only way to make 100% sure the psu is fully empty

cursive summit
#

Fml the bios update did nothing

ashen spindle
#

For resetting the bios it’s usually not needed but if you are troubleshooting you want to make sure all the stored power gets discharged

astral haven
#

^

cursive summit
#

Ok I am doing the CMOS reset

astral haven
#

personally i use that time to reseat all the cables to the motherboard and dust out the pc too but what do i know i only do this as a job lel

cursive summit
#

So, wait 5 mins and spam the power button?

astral haven
#

generally just need to hit it once

#

i always press it a few times for good luck

cursive summit
#

Is 30s all that you need?

astral haven
#

thats how long it takes me to dust the pc out and reseat the cables normally and its always worked to just do that for me

cursive summit
#

Cause after this I am out of options, either 1) Downclock CPU 2) see if the weird "oc tuner" restarts my pc into working order again

astral haven
#

also are you running xmp?

stark bobcat
#

Lower the cpu clockspeed is the best option I'd say

cursive summit
#

No, I am not

stark bobcat
#

Well

cursive summit
#

I don't even know where that option even is

astral haven
#

docp means running xmp

stark bobcat
#

Amd motherboards have xmp support

cursive summit
#

I am not running d.o.c.p

astral haven
#

if you have docp available, you might as well try it

#

disables some power savings but eh

cursive summit
#

Seems the 3600 might have randomly kicked the bucket

stark bobcat
#

Man am I lucky I always have spare psu and rams to troubleshoot any issues

cursive summit
#

Like I might try to use an USB stick to reset windows, but all of my passwords are there

stark bobcat
#

You can also try reinstalling windows

#

Unlikely to work

cursive summit
#

But will that uninstall all the firefox, antivirus apps?

#

I genuinely don't remember

astral haven
#

depends on how careful you are

stark bobcat
#

Just use another drive

cursive summit
#

I only have 2 drives, C: and D:, no other spares

fair gull
#

so you could pull back out the firefox appdata

#

which includes passwords

#

just dont format or delete anything

cursive summit
#

I also used kaspersky password manager that came with the AV suite

stark bobcat
#

Can't you also boot from usb?

fair gull
#

i mean if the windows install boots

#

thats a plus

cursive summit
fair gull
#

its basically a windows PE

stark bobcat
#

Try it

astral haven
#

windows live > windows pe

cursive summit
#

So booting from usb would diagnose if CPU or RAM is an issue

#

Leaving.. SSD?

fair gull
#

yesnt

astral haven
#

or drivers

fair gull
#

it would just confirm it can still run an os

cursive summit
#

I guess I'll try booting tails like I did once a while ago

#

Tails OS wasn't that bad

fair gull
#

might be better since u can load the system from a linux live boot

#

as i imagine you dont just have aida64 laying round on a windows install usb

cursive summit
#

Alright booting with a "properly" cleared CMOS

#

Waited for like 20 mins

#

And I already hear bootcycling, lel

astral haven
#

is it posting?

cursive summit
#

To BIOS and the splash screen where you can press F2, yes

fair gull
#

has to be he gets into the UEFI

cursive summit
#

As soon as the windows "loading wheel" appears, it restarts

stark bobcat
#

Shush the adults are talking

fair gull
astral haven
#

yea if you do have a linux disk laying around might as well give it a shot

cursive summit
#

I sure damn hope a live OS will boot, meaning the components are fine

stark bobcat
cursive summit
#

I think it's just the windows that fucked itself again

stark bobcat
#

Could be

cursive summit
#

I always had weird crashes on windows

stark bobcat
#

Let's hope

cursive summit
#

Like driver failure

#

I always do clean install on drivers, still crashes

stark bobcat
#

Windows needs to be reinstalled every once in a while

cursive summit
#

I just hope all my apps stay

#

All of my passwords are just in firefox dogekek

#

And they are random

fair gull
#

unless every once in a while means after 12 years or so

stark bobcat
astral haven
#

yea ive got absolutely ancient windows installs that still work

frozen ingot
#

I haven't reinstalled windows on my old laptop since 2016 or so

#

still runs like a clock

fair gull
#

i dragged my first xp install through 7 and 10

#

12yrs old

frozen ingot
#

I keep wondering what people do to keep having issues all the time

fair gull
#

failed to god knows what in bsods related to a non existent dll

#

only time i reinstalled windows

cursive summit
#

I wish that win7 was still supported, I never had any issues with that

#

Flawless OS

stark bobcat
#

I'll just blame cosmic rays and not my habits of installing junk

cursive summit
#

Win10 for me is full of instabilities

#

Doesn't boot, drivers crashing, apps not working

frozen ingot
#

skit bakom spakarna

#

as we say in swedish

fair gull
#

or any of those

cursive summit
#

I still don't mind it honestly

#

I don't mind the tinkering

stark bobcat
#

If your system is unstable any os will corrupt eventually

astral haven
#

not windows iot lmao

fair gull
#

its also not like windows isnt fixable

cursive summit
#

As long as the tinkering doesn't involve buying new components, I don't mind tinkering

fair gull
#

its just that people really like to keep the secrets of properly diagnosing and fixing windows installs

cursive summit
#

You never explained how to read the crash reports either dogekek

fair gull
#

windbg

astral haven
#

tbh
chkdsk /f
sfc /scannow
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

#

99% of windows problems gone

fair gull
#

would require me to give you a whole talk about how to use windbg commands and stuff

#

read the stacktraces

#

sometimes looking into win dlls

cursive summit
#

That's not nice, OceanGlider

stark bobcat
#

Angry now are we

fair gull
#

the holy trio

astral haven
#

what do r and x do?

stark bobcat
#

You sound angry

fair gull
#

x force dismounts

astral haven
#

on my c drive?

fair gull
#

and r repairs bad sectors and recovers data

astral haven
#

no thanks

fair gull
#

c wont chkdsk anyway on a running system

#

even if you give it x

#

its always preboot

astral haven
#

ah

#

welllllllllll

fair gull
#

i just give x to make sure a volume gets unmounted for proper repair

astral haven
#

it wont chkdsk /f

#

oh yea i have used chkdsk /f /r before

#

r takes forever and makes a bunch of junk files tho in my experience

fair gull
#

also regarding sfc and dism

#

the logs of those sometimes also help even if they fail

#

telling you what packages are missing

#

so you can manually replace catalogs or mums

astral haven
#

investigating that stuff was too much time for my boss

fair gull
#

well it depends

#

some systems i fix cant just be reinstalled

astral haven
#

he just wanted me to reinstall windows whenever there was that sort of problem to begin with

fair gull
#

and data cant just be copied

#

sometimes i need to pull backups via the programs backup function

#

so making it boot is really important sometimes

astral haven
#

he wanted to sell the customer backup software lel

stark bobcat
#

@cursive summit did u try booting from usb yet?

somber schooner
fair gull
stark bobcat
fair gull
#

drivesnapshot is a god sent

#

dirt cheap and the best imaging and backup tool for entire disks

astral haven
#

my new job is great tho
users are barely allowed to store files locally on the computer

fair gull
#

literally works anywhere

#

can use VSS writers

#

and can even mount its images from its tiny ass binary

#

1 whole mb

astral haven
fair gull
#

anything windows takes as a path

astral haven
#

interesting

fair gull
#

spews out logs

astral haven
#

you able to psexec it?

fair gull
#

even tells you if disks have bad sectors

fair gull
#

i mean try it

#

they offer it 30days no limitations

#

also expensive af

#

/s

astral haven
#

oh
yea my work wouldnt be able to buy that

fair gull
#

how

astral haven
fair gull
#

lol

#

anyway i use it privately aswell

stark bobcat
#

The human eye can only see 30fps 💀

fair gull
#

mainly cause its just so handy

astral haven
#

it does seem pretty good

fair gull
#

need to only restore the first 2048 sectors? sure

astral haven
#

does it have any differential function?

fair gull
#

yes

#

look at the command line link on the website

#

it can do a lot

astral haven
#

interesting

#

yea ill have to investigate that

fair gull
#

not saying you have to buy it but i heard that a license gen exists

astral haven
#

my server is currently having an aneurism from a year and a half of uptime and being a standard windows desktop install

cursive summit
#

Right, booting off of live usb

astral haven
#

i need to fix that and get all the data i currently have on it uploaded to google

cursive summit
#

Tails OS I'll be using

#

Uhh, it restarted

fair gull
cursive summit
#

Looks like it couldn't boot off of live usb

fair gull
#

ram replacing

#

hf

cursive summit
#

But now I'm back to windows startup repair

fair gull
#

or just taking out all ram sticks but 1

cursive summit
#

It's done bootloading

stark bobcat
astral haven
fair gull
cursive summit
fair gull
#

damn

#

thats new

#

ftp and putty stuff

cursive summit
#

Ahh shit

#

It restarted before I could even launch windows reset

#

I bet it'd have died during windows reset as well

#

Tf is wrong with this PC man

cursive summit
#

And it didn't work either

#

Could the ryzen genuinely kick the bucket this time around

stark bobcat
#

Please lower cpu clockspeed to like 2ghz

fair gull
#

ya id lower clocks

astral haven
#

as if amd makes that easy tho :/

fair gull
#

there should be a ratio multiplier

stark bobcat
#

At least for me 2600x there is

cursive summit
#

Which one?

fair gull
#

the one ur mouse is on

stark bobcat
#

Cpu ratio

cursive summit
#

I can't access it though

astral haven
#

set it to 20 yea

cursive summit
#

It's grey

astral haven
#

type in 20

stark bobcat
#

Ai overclocker off maybe

cursive summit
#

20 didn't work, it went up to 28

fair gull
#

thats also fine

#

just lower it

stark bobcat
#

Then 28 it is

fair gull
#

still 800mhz lower than ur default

cursive summit
#

And then I suppose comes a save and restart?

fair gull
#

yep

#

should be all it takes to lower clock

cursive summit
#

So, if this works, what does that mean?

#

Damaged silicon?

fair gull
#

cpu dying

#

well

#

degrading

cursive summit
#

Still restarting

stark bobcat
#

That means it's degraded

fair gull
#

ideally ud still try ram that wasnt in ur system

gusty kiln
#

do you guys shuck drives?

stark bobcat
#

Auto voltage?

cursive summit
#

At 2.4GHz voltage is rn at 1.09V

fair gull
#

thats auto volted ya

cursive summit
#

Memory is 2400MHz at 1.2V

fair gull
#

ngl if you really dont have ANY other ram that fits

#

id put my money on a dead cpu

#

or well

#

damaged to the point of non usability

cursive summit
#

But the CPU was literally fine this morning

#

Nothing was done to it

#

Things shouldn't just die

gusty kiln
#

oof

fair gull
#

i can tell you

#

they sadly do

#

in electronics

astral haven
#

this also wont confirm its the cpu that is deadzo

stark bobcat
#

Maybe up it a bit and see if it boots just a tad tho voltage is what kills the cpu

astral haven
#

psu and motherboard absolutely can both cause this

fair gull
#

i mean mobo i can see

#

but i never had a psu degrade so much that it causes this

stark bobcat
fair gull
#

usually theyd fail more

cursive summit
#

I'll try booting live usb again

cursive summit
#

Motherboard is my guess maybe, I had terrible luck with asus

stark bobcat
#

I hate asus with a passion

cursive summit
#

Like failing to save the settings in bios after "save and restart"

#

And booting live OS also restarted the PC, again

astral haven
#

asus also happens to be the vendor with the only functional reset on failure to boot

cursive summit
#

Well I have exhausted my options at this point, I dunno if the PC will even boot a windows USB yet

astral haven
#

wait so its failing to boot with 28 mult?

cursive summit
#

Yes?

astral haven
#

time to dust your pc

cursive summit
#

It still bootcycles

#

I am not sure if I am using the word "bootcycles" corrently

astral haven
#

try unplugging your windows drive

stark bobcat
#

U could make a video

wheat plume
#

So, File Explorer is becoming non-responsive and crashing everytime it cannot find the Deck on the network
.-.

can nothing just work properly on Windows?????

cursive summit
#

I mean, turn on PC, see Asus branded splash screen, Windows spinny thingy appears, PC restarts instantly back to splash screen, silence, spinny thing appears, instant restart

fair gull
#

only ur windows

wheat plume
#

now its totally gone

cursive summit
#

If windows fails to boot 3 times, it goes to "advanced repair" or somthing like that, so I see the text for like 3 secs a d it restarts again

cursive summit
#

So, after boot

ashen spindle
crimson wigeon
#

Have you tried moving the RAM to another channel

cursive summit
#

Yes

#

I have

ashen spindle
#

if file explorer cant find it that's not on the file explorer

cursive summit
#

I guess I'll try moving the ram again and only running a single die

#

I have dual channel 2x8gb

stark bobcat
cursive summit
#

I did, yes

#

Changed slots and running only 1 stick

stark bobcat
#

Hmmm and you don't have any spare psu?

cursive summit
#

Still bootloading

cursive summit
stark bobcat
cursive summit
#

I could invest into a new PSU + motherboard + RAM

#

I was planning to build a new rig

astral haven
#

and did you try unplugging all the drives besides tails?

cursive summit
stark bobcat
astral haven
#

intel ssd

stark bobcat
#

Amd isn't worth it atm

astral haven
#

uh uo

cursive summit
astral haven
#

ripperino

cursive summit
#

It's a little shit but it works

astral haven
#

80% of the time

#

they have an afr of 20%

cursive summit
#

I find it funny how my Samsung 860 is at 96% life while the 660p is at like 60% or some shit

#

According to hwinfo

astral haven
stark bobcat
#

A400 kekw

cursive summit
#

Well shit lads, what are my options

#

New RAM?

#

Better PSU?

#

Replace this fucking disgrace of a mobo?

astral haven
#

try getting the 660p out of your boot order

stark bobcat
#

Better psu 100% since that will always carry over

cursive summit
astral haven
#

yes and its probably in limp mode right now

stark bobcat
#

I used my 800hx for 10 years or so now

cursive summit
#

I guess I'll see what's the price on the Fractal Ion+ rn

#

That PSU seems godmode

stark bobcat
#

Just get the best one for the money

cursive summit
#

Modular, 80+ platinum, plenty power

#

Less than 100$

stark bobcat
#

Plenty of good units out there

cursive summit
#

Scores top end on the LTT PSU tier list

#

I was eyeing the Ion+ so I guess I'll get that

stark bobcat
#

Be aware I kind of doubt it'll fix your pc

astral haven
#

im confident it wont

#

now knowing you have a 660p i want to blame all the problems on it

stark bobcat
#

Try unplugging it ig

astral haven
#

especially one that is already reporting itself as starting to fail

stark bobcat
#

Idk anything about drive related failures tbh

cursive summit
#

Fine I'll do it tomorrowz lads

#

My wife wants to watch One Piece

#

I am being held prisoner

#

PC can stay overnight I guess, I'll look into it with a clear head

astral haven
cursive summit
#

Is the 660p really that bad?

#

What about 665p?

astral haven
#

🤷

cursive summit
#

Intel made multiple "cheap" SSDs, some of them are not bad probably

astral haven
#

i only know a person who was deploying 660ps and had 200 of them fail

stark bobcat
#

Ooooooof

astral haven
#

200 out of a thousand is atrocious for an ssd

cursive summit
#

My 660p was working well until now

#

Or...

#

Were all of my problems DUE to the SSD?

astral haven
#

yea they werent doa
they would just fail over time

stark bobcat
#

Very sort of regardless of timeframe

#

Intel memory havo

cursive summit
#

Oi oi

#

Optane was nice

stark bobcat
#

🤷‍♂️

cursive summit
#

was

#

Sad

astral haven
#

well the problem is that the 600 series was not made by intel

stark bobcat
#

Dafuq

astral haven
#

controllers are off the shelf and the nand was garbage

#

literally intel just supplied firmware

stark bobcat
#

Hmm that is very un-intel

astral haven
#

🤷

#

intel is a big company

#

they do a lot of non intel things

stark bobcat
#

True

#

But tbh most of the time it says intel on something I expect at least part of the hardware to be intel made

astral haven
#

🤷

#

intel only partially owned optane

#

only part of optane they made on their own were the controllers
and i dont think those were even on intel fabs?

stark bobcat
#

I mean arc isn't made on intel fabs but I still count that as "intel made" same way as amd and Nvidia

astral haven
#

yea fair

#

but micron owned 3dxpoint

#

intel just had a few key patents they needed

#

micron was able to unilaterally close and sell the fab and intel couldnt do anything unless they wanted to bid more than TI was offering

wheat plume
#

I removed the Deck as a network drive
Adding it as a Network Location instead

#

And this seems a lot more stable now, so thats good

#

Explorer no longer crashes when the Deck is offline

fair gull
#

so you didnt setup a samba server on ur deck

#

but some bodge way

wheat plume
#

sshfs

fair gull
#

u just repeated what i said

pale sigil
#

Why not just use scp

fair gull
#

cause a samba server would be the right way to make a network share available to windows

pale sigil
#

Or sftp

fair gull
#

see above

wheat plume
pale sigil
#

Ye but it’s to transfer games

fair gull
#

cause u didnt configure it right

pale sigil
#

Lol

fair gull
#

every nas uses samba

wheat plume
pale sigil
#

Based on your screenshot your WiFi lan is poo. Tbh

fair gull
#

wifi lan

wheat plume
#

my wifi is shit, yes

fair gull
#

i cringed

I muted the sound via ffmpeg cause I didnt want it to make noise

but it looks great :D

gusty kiln
#

@ashen spindle yikes rough day today

ashen spindle
#

huh?

gusty kiln
#

stonks

ashen spindle
#

eh yeah but I think the market is just overcorrecting a lot

gusty kiln
#

yeah

ashen spindle
#

only client went down, the other areas are up

#

and if we wait for intels guidelines that will not be the same havo

gusty kiln
ashen spindle
#

rip client but all else is up

gusty kiln
#

wait wtf is happening with embedded

#

oh is that xilinx

ashen spindle
#

think thats xilinx/pensando yeah

gusty kiln
#

hmmm

#

well it's a great time to buy in if you have disposable income

pale sigil
#

Client being workstations and laptops?

ashen spindle
#

also diy, gaming is mostly the gpu buisness

pale sigil
#

Ohhhhh

#

Shit

astral haven
#

no gaming is mostly consoles lel

pale sigil
#

Rip

ashen spindle
#

total sales yes, I mean the dip in that segment is coming from people waiting + light oversupply

pale sigil
#

Probably

#

That's what came to mind for me personally

gusty kiln
#

think PS5s are still hard to come by

ashen spindle
#

it's getting better but some areas yeah

gusty kiln
#

waiting for that console refresh

astral haven
#

uh no

#

ps5 is rolling revisions and next console gen is a waaaaaaays out

gusty kiln
#

well yeah

pale sigil
#

What are you wanting

#

A slim?

#

Because a pro doesn't make sense

astral haven
#

eh rdna3 might be good enough to warrant a pro

ashen spindle
#

well

astral haven
#

definetly doubtful tho

ashen spindle
#

they already have some scraps of rdna3 ip in there

#

so very unlikely

pale sigil
#

Consoles are in a really great place rn

#

In terms of perf

#

Irrc

ashen spindle
#

wellll

#

if only the series S wasn't a thing

#

that drags the generation down a good bit

gusty kiln
#

isn't that more for game streaming

ashen spindle
#

doesn't matter, no game dev is making a game that runs only on series X (idk if microsoft would even allow that)

#

would be silly to ignore so many potential buyers

pale sigil
#

It's sad aye

#

It's also sad how long the last gen is lasting

astral haven
astral haven
ashen spindle
#

cmon you know what I mean with that dogekek

gusty kiln
astral haven
#

they could make some core changes that allow them to fit that many cores in a small die
or they will just go for a mondo die and it wont be interesting

#

(for ms and sony)

#

also imo the series s is fiiiine, it has the cpu grunt to run the games, just not the gpu power to push the resolution

ashen spindle
#

nope, already had the talk with two big game devs, or rather listend to them rant about the issue they had because of lower performance and also less memory havo

misty saffron
#

holy shit the visuals are crazy cool

astral haven
#

🤷 if the game cant run on an s at 1080p it cant run on an average home gaming pc either

wheat plume
#

o hek

#

how tf does this happen?

#

what crazy shit is this doing

astral haven
#

malware things

wheat plume
#

but how

ashen spindle
#

for one of them it was mostly that they had to optimize a lot of stuff they wouldn't have needed for the X/pc and that costed them likely some features due to less time

wheat plume
#

pushing bad values to driver ram or something?

misty saffron
#

according to the developer it’s all gdi rendering

ashen spindle
#

also I dont care if 1060 is no longer used as the required spec for games lol

misty saffron
#

so just fucking around with bitmaps

misty saffron
#

yup same

astral haven
#

at least at min settings

ashen spindle
#

yes but not as recommnded anymore xD

wheat plume
#

this hurt my eyes

#

gosh damn

ashen spindle
#

oh wait I thought elden ring had 1060 as rec, but thats minium

astral haven
#

🤷 if it runs well enough they can release it on the s then its gonna be useable on 1060 (with rt off)

misty saffron
#

the shit at 4:35 is super cool

#

genuinely impressed

ashen spindle
#

cant even find the discussion anymore to see what exactly the reasons were because twitter dms are horrible to scroll back in smh

astral haven
#

i understand its annoying
but making stuff that poorly optimized is just bad

#

its a shame that devs are crunched so much they arent allowed to spend time to actually seriously optimize

misty saffron
ashen spindle
#

oh it wasn't a lack of optimization really

#

I mean, it sort of always is

astral haven
#

it always is

#

theres always ways to optimize further

#

it just takes time, and devs arent allowed the time any more

ashen spindle
#

but for a realistic setting it was something where the S having just a bit more ram would've saved a lot of dev time and made for better results

astral haven
#

also would have been more expensive and physically larger

ashen spindle
#

yes which is why I was hoping they would've not made it in the first place dogekek

astral haven
#

only reason i dont want it to exist is bc i wanted it to have a bd player so that i could use it as a cheap uhd bluray player

#

but ms chose that so 🤷

#

nvidia shield with bluray so that it can upscale uhd blurays to 8k60 or 4k120 when

gusty kiln
#

oh yeah, waiting for the next tegra

astral haven
#

tegra meh

#

orin based shield would be based

silk trout
#

back in the days i wanted the shield tablet super bad

ashen spindle
#

man I almost had it and then twitter dms crapped itself and it reloaded, cba scrolling back to early 2020

astral haven
#

im aware that devs arent happy

ashen spindle
#

I think in this case it was something that came down from using unreal and some old stuff that ended up needing big changes for their project

astral haven
#

but the reason they arent happy isnt caused by the s itself
its caused by the dev crunch culture

ashen spindle
#

it's not caused by the s but it would've been able to be avoided if the s wasn't a thing

#

this case, not all of dev crunch lol

astral haven
#

if you simply chose to not implement an optimization that improves performance due to time, the cause of the problem is whatever is causing you to not have enough time

wheat plume
#

I kinda miss back on older systems, game devs HAD to optimise so that the game actually ran on the damn thing

#

no they dont need to and just claim their games needs much higher specs that it should really have

ashen spindle
#

sure but then we get down to looking if that matters, since if you have enough ram you can just use more and then use that time to make another feature instead so you get mroe from it

#

not like total ram usage matters on console for the user

#

I dont miss the old games at all, means people had no other choice so we had way less innovation and new things

astral haven
#

🤷 high level compilers arent good enough yet that that is the case

wheat plume
#

Yeah, I just wish game devs optimised instead of being like "Oh, you need a RTX 4090 for our game because its not optimised"

ashen spindle
#

nobody does that

misty saffron
#

i’m not sure what you’re talking about

#

most new games i’ve played run really well on my 2080

astral haven
#

yea there arent any games that dont run well on like a 3060 yea

#

just dont max out settings

wheat plume
#

Yeah, that sentence is just saying they claim you need to have higher specs than you really need because they donty want to make the game run better

astral haven
#

not dont want to

#

they want to

#

they just arent given the time to

misty saffron
#

i’ve maxed out settings in the spider man remastered thing (with dlss anyways) and had 120+ fps on average

ashen spindle
#

I'm literally here complaining I want higher min specs than a 1060 and you say games are made so it only runs on the best gpu possible

#

even cyberpunk doesnt have that issue it just had actual bugs

astral haven
misty saffron
#

well cyberpunk used to run like shit on day 1 actually

wheat plume
#

Yeh, im getting more bugs since the latest version than I had on previous versions .-.

astral haven
#

it very much ran poorly

ashen spindle
#

I'm writing that down to bugs just not game breaking bugs

astral haven
#

if the devs themselves had double the programming time for the same number of features, do you really think they would have as many bugs?

ashen spindle
#

guess that does become a bit of a nebulous term at that rate

astral haven
#

there are alot of things that you can do with a ton of hours of optimization

#

even very basic code can be massively sped up with a few hundred hours of optimization in raw x86

ashen spindle
#

my argument with cp77 was that it also just has a 1060 as a recommnded card, so if it doesnt run on that I call that a bug/released before its done

misty saffron
#

just looked at the cp2077 dlc trailer and got reminded of how dead inside the v voice actors sound

astral haven
#

its not the dev's fault that they dont have the time to runroll the entire game and manually audit all the x86

Thats not at all what im saying

im just saying that they should be incentivized to do some optimization...

misty saffron
#

seriously though why do they constantly sound like they don’t give a shit

ashen spindle
#

I think we are talking points that aren't even opposing each other because I agree lol

wheat plume
#

which is suitable for most interactions in the game TBH

misty saffron
#

i absolutely didn’t like that

#

almost zero emotion in some dialogues

wheat plume
#

Yeah, in some for sure

astral haven
#

it probably depends what background you have if it is reasonable

wheat plume
#

I made a mistake....started a new game with a new character and now both characters are level 50, so in the list of saved games they are almost impossible to know what character belong to what save .-.

misty saffron
#

is the game good now at least?

astral haven
#

the game was always good

misty saffron
#
