[supple wharf]

Everyone we fucking know does tho💀

[idle ore]

lol

[supple wharf]

Both my parents work for the government

[idle ore]

ah, nice

[supple wharf]

And I've gained some wisdom regarding the government from them

TL;DR there is a high level of incompetence

[idle ore]

oh of course

their salaries are fixed regardless of market value

no offense to your parents, btw

at all

[supple wharf]

yeye

My dad is also military

[idle ore]

plus it seems (to me) that high positions are reserved for people who have close relationships with higher ups

oh dope

[supple wharf]

He's been in over 20 years

And he's getting a really kickass pension and 401K when he retires

[idle ore]

nice

government jobs man. nowadays that's the only way anyone can get a pension

[supple wharf]

Apparently they aren't really offering pensions much anymore

[idle ore]

not in the private sector

[supple wharf]

I mean I'm pretty sure my mom is getting a pension as well

But she's also been working for them for like 15+ years

[idle ore]

sure, you said she works for the government

[supple wharf]

I learned about this stuff in personal finance class in high school

But fuck me if I remember anything from that class

[idle ore]

im glad there's a personal finance class in your high school. it's essential

wasn't always the case

there used to be credit card booths in every college campus, and it's illegal now

[supple wharf]

What is a credit card booth 💀

Forgive my zoomer ass for not knowing what that is

[idle ore]

credit card companies offering free gifts in exchange for your signing up for a credit card

[supple wharf]

Oh

[idle ore]

horribly unethical

[supple wharf]

Yeah I can't imagine that ever going wrong under any circumstances

[idle ore]

and they're fresh off of signing up for a $200k student loan

so what's another credit card? lol

[supple wharf]

I consider myself lucky regarding college payments

[idle ore]

it was madness

as long as it's reasonable

[supple wharf]

What is

[idle ore]

the student loan business is a beast

[idle ore]

your college payments

[supple wharf]

Oh

[idle ore]

as long as you're not paying 50k per semester

[supple wharf]

My family is well-off enough that my parents are able to pay

[idle ore]

that's dope

[supple wharf]

It's nowhere near that much💀

[idle ore]

of course not everyone is in the same spot as you but i think college should be reasonably priced

[supple wharf]

Yeah

I'm not even the most well-off person I know at college

My roommate has a 22 2500 dodge ram LARAMIE

[idle ore]

i dunno what that is

[supple wharf]

That's the super-luxury trim of ram trucks

[idle ore]

ah

[supple wharf]

He says he got it for 60 grand

[idle ore]

he got the dodge plug?

[supple wharf]

I can't imagine any other reason

My dad got the big horn, which is like the XLT (Ford trim) of ram trucks and he played around 68

Bro got it for invoice or some shit💀
Anyway

What were we talking about

[idle ore]

cars and their enthusiasts i guess

[supple wharf]

Ah, yes

[idle ore]

you're a cool individual

[supple wharf]

As are you

[idle ore]

i got a stock mustang, so i was curious about american automotive culture

thanks for sharing info with me

[supple wharf]

What motor, if you don't mind me asking

You don't seem like the sort to be insecure about it but hey

[idle ore]

stock

i think v6

lemme look it up

[supple wharf]

Ah

[idle ore]

3.7 liter

[supple wharf]

Ah

[idle ore]

it's my general approach to products. typically i just get stock

[supple wharf]

My dad almost got me a Caprice PPV for college but we decided against it

[idle ore]

it doesn't even have a back-up screen

the cop car?

[supple wharf]

Yes

[idle ore]

lol that would've been a flex

[supple wharf]

The one we looked at had a V8 and everything

But unfortunately parts are a bit pricey

Not because it's a V8

[idle ore]

government contracts get like that

[supple wharf]

Nothing to do with that

[idle ore]

im guessing because it's a cop car

[supple wharf]

It's because it's from Australia

[idle ore]

lol wtf i didnt know that

[supple wharf]

The engine and some of the components hail from the land down under

[idle ore]

at first i thought you meant caprice classic

[supple wharf]

Some of the engine's parts are interchangeable with LS engines

Are you familiar with LS engines?

[idle ore]

i've heard of them for sure, but i wouldn't say im familiar

a famous GM engine right?

[supple wharf]

Yeah, they're the most ubiquitous performance american engine family out there

They have an entire damn festival devoted exclusively to crazy LS-swaps

[idle ore]

that's wild

[supple wharf]

Family of them, yeah

Chevy used LSs in eeeeeverything

[idle ore]

is gm still using them?

[supple wharf]

Nope

They still offer them as crate engines though

[idle ore]

ah

so if people want to buy them

it's still available

[supple wharf]

Camaros, Corvettes, Pontiac G8s, various Holden products, Silverados, GMCs

[idle ore]

what year range

[supple wharf]

If it had a V8 between the late 90s and and like 2013 it was probably an LS

[idle ore]

ah ok

[supple wharf]

Their first car with an LS was the C5 Corvette

[idle ore]

that was a good looking corvette

[supple wharf]

Ford has a pretty solid performance V8 engine platform too, it's really the only other thing that can compete with the LSs imo

It has a way cooler name too

Coyote

It's a bit more modern then the LS family of engines

But my GOD does it ever make a wonderful noise

[toxic sparrow]

U 2 are still going?😂

[supple wharf]

Yes

Ain't about phones no more tho

[toxic sparrow]

Yea I popped in earlier seen a lot about cars.

[supple wharf]

@idle ore how much do you know about engines would you say

Just so I know how in-depth I should go before I start sounding gibberish

[idle ore]

not much

[idle ore]

im fine with jargon

[supple wharf]

Should we move this transportation or Dms?

[idle ore]

i'll parse through it. im curious about automotive

nah

this qualifies as tech

[supple wharf]

I suppose

[idle ore]

don't let a heckler influence your decisions

[supple wharf]

LS engines use Pushrods, which is a bit of an older technology, while Ford's Coyote uses Dual Overhead Cams

I will admit

My knowledge of this topic isn't absolute either

[idle ore]

can you describe how pushrods are different from dual overhead cams in layman language

[supple wharf]

Not effectively, no tbh

[idle ore]

can you try

(i've been to college. this is how you solidify what you know)

[supple wharf]

We haven't studied that stuff yet

[idle ore]

ah

[supple wharf]

I've only been here two full sessions; first was Gen-Eds, second was electrical 1, my current session is HVAC

[idle ore]

that's fine, i can look it up i guess. i ask because it takes longer if i look it up

[supple wharf]

Both have their advantages and disadvantages

[idle ore]

so heating, ventilation and air conditioning?

[supple wharf]

That's my current session, yes

[idle ore]

btw i just checked out the #transporation channel, it seems to be the same topic so it isn't unreasonable. up to you

although you're studying how a vehicle works

your call

[supple wharf]

Let's move

[analog wharf]

Run the winver command

[jovial tide]

Or just look at Settings

[analog wharf]

command prompt as admin > winver

Used to use rectify11 aswell but it caused bugs so I stopped using it

[polar iron]

Windows 11 home

[analog wharf]

Bruh home

[polar iron]

Is that bad lol

[analog wharf]

Aslong as its activated

Ugly watermark

[polar iron]

Ye mine is activated

[analog wharf]

Oh well im waiting for them to release the full v3 of rectify11 before i use it again

[jovial tide]

The latest version of Windows 11 has just recently come out:
https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2022/12/09/announcing-windows-11-insider-preview-build-25262

[analog wharf]

Dont use a dev channel

If you want minimal bugs with new features use Beta

[jovial tide]

I use Dev on my gaming laptop, and Beta on my gaming PC

[analog wharf]

Personally i would only use a dev channel on a VM

[polar iron]

I think I'll get the Beta

[analog wharf]

R11 still on release preview v3 since august

[polar iron]

Will it still be actived?

[analog wharf]

Should be

If not then oh well

[polar iron]

That watermark

[analog wharf]

I used a key management service to activate mine

I only used it to remove the watermark and microsoft doesnt give a fuck about consumers pirating windows

[polar iron]

Imma download the beta after GTA finishes lol

[analog wharf]

Aight

[polar iron]

My wifi so slow with downloading

[twin badger]

For some reason the anti glare finish on my monitor makes the picture seem a bit fuzzy and gritty, is there a work-around? I definitely wouldn't attempt on peeling that layer off

[snow rover]

no

[twin badger]

That sucks

Almost everything about the monitor satisfies me, except this stupid matte layer that is especially noticeable when its white

And apparently almost every monitor comes with this coating

[snow rover]

most people don't want a glossy monitor

[raven ridge]

you could try to lower the brightness, idk if that could help but yk u could always try

[rose moon]

Hey question, I kinda wanna do a whole swap out of my PC parts and essentially rebuild a new PC on the AM5 Chipset, new MOBO, RAM, CPU, and GPU, PSU etc. I have my Windows 10 OS on my M.2 SSD as my boot drive atm, if I decide to swap everything and rebuild my PC to New-Gen parts can I just plug and play as soon as I install my old M.2 SSD?

[twin badger]

This sorta helps, well, at least reduces how noticeable it is to my eye

[raven ridge]

IIRC, no, because if u swap more parts windows notices it as a new pc

you could try reactivating it on ur new pc, but u probs needa buy a new one

[raven ridge]

yah i dont think u can do much else then that without rlly (possibly) damaging ur monitor

[raven ridge]

new license*

those can get expensive if you want a trustable seller

[twin badger]

I emailed LG about it, we'll see what kinda response they have to this

[raven ridge]

also idk if ur a student, but here where i live they have sites where they sell keys

[rose moon]

Got it, changing out the PSU doesn't affect anything right? I'm planning on upgrading it from a 750W to a 1200W for the extra RAM, more drives(HDD and SSD), CPU to a Ryzen 9 5900x and possibly a 4080

[raven ridge]

most of the time for really cheap

[cold elbow]

Freah install is preferred
License can be moved also

[raven ridge]

PSU shouldnt be a problem since it just suplies power

but i think if ur gonna upgrade it all

[rose moon]

Oh ok great!

[raven ridge]

you could try it but just have a device available to buy a key if necassary

[raven ridge]

im not sure tho, there are probs plenty of forums where they discuss that

[rose moon]

Will this affect my PC recgonizing it as a different PC if I upgrade to these parts?

My current Build:
CPU: Ryzen 7 2700x ---> Ryzen 9 5900x
GPU: MSI 2070 Super Ventus OC
RAM: G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) ---> Upgrading to 64GB same set
PSU: Corsair RM750x ---> Corsair HX1200W
MOBO: ASUS ROG Strix B-450F(AM4)

Adding another M.2 SSD, 2.5 2TB SSD and 3TB HDD for Storage Drives

[raven ridge]

SSD/HDD shouldnt be a problem since i just upgrades with 2 extra drives

[cold elbow]

So u wanna upgrade psu for a 2070 super ????

That's overkill

[raven ridge]

RAM also shouldnt be a problem since i doubled it a few months ago in W10

with different sets

CPU could give trouble, but im not sure

[rose moon]

Well possibly upgrading my GPU eventually to a 4000series(depending on pricing)

[cold elbow]

Well then upgrade psu when u upgrade gpu

[raven ridge]

'No, you don't need to reinstall Windows 10 after replacing the motherboard and CPU. However, it's recommended to reinstall windows after a CPU and motherboard upgrade to prevent OS compatibility issues. But you can first run your old OS and see if there are any issues.'

[rose moon]

Ok, can my 750W be able to handle the other upgrades?

[raven ridge]

https://www.easeus.com/computer-instruction/upgrade-motherboard-cpu-without-reinstalling-windows-10.html#:~:text=No%2C you don't need,if there are any issues.

[cold elbow]

It can handle all your upgrades

[raven ridge]

i am currently running a 6700 xt and 5600 on a 600 or 500 watt iirc

[rose moon]

So after upgrading the CPU would I just have to update the BIOS on my motherboard for the version and drivers for my new CPU to run properly?

[cold elbow]

Only bios

And swap cpu

[raven ridge]

^

[cold elbow]

What cooler u have?

[rose moon]

Corsair Hydro Series H100i PRO Low Noise 240mm RGB Water/Liquid CPU Cooler 240mm

[cold elbow]

That's ok

[rose moon]

I built this back in 2019

[rose moon]

Awesome!

Thanks for all the help guys! Been saving up for new parts since last year

Hopefully this upgrade goes smoothly!

[cold elbow]

Good luck

[rose moon]

Thanks! Should I just buy the 1200W PSU now if it's on sale and install even if I don't have the new GPU?

I've been keeping my eye on it and it goes on sale often

[cold elbow]

Thing is
At the time u wanna buy a bew gpu u might not need all that power

And maybe a new wave of power supplies shows up with better gpu connectors

The new standard is still new

[rose moon]

Ahhh gotcha, ok then I'll just wait until I make the purchase of the GPU to buy the PSU, thanks for the advice!

[cold elbow]

[lost fossil]

[lost fossil]

you need to update beavis before upgrading the cpu

[plucky raft]

You can use windows for free

No need for key 💀

[frigid echo]

Ya you just get the annoying activate windows watermark. And not able to "change" your background on desktop.

(Unless you just get an image and right click set as desktop background lol)

[plucky raft]

Dont know why people bother to activate

So much money they have

[twin badger]

Less than 20 bucks is not a lot of money for a key imo, but i've also heard of free ways of getting rid of the watermark or activating, cannot advocate on how effective they are tho

[analog wharf]

Yeah there are free ways to activate, I’ve tried them on vms and they work

[tawny trout]

Hey I have a apple watch nike edition, someone gifted to me and When I boot up the watch it ask me to connect to Iphone ,I dont have Iphone , Is there anyway we can boot up the watch without iphone

[cold elbow]

Unfortunately u need to set it up with an iPhone

[analog wharf]

Apple being apple

They want to get you into their ecosystem

[fervent granite]

And it has to be an iPhone too to boot

Not even iPads or Macs will work

[fervent granite]

They’re awesome, the script I got was from GitHub and it works perfectly

[twin badger]

Pass me that script privately, maybe it will come handy in future

@strong lagoon Ethernet defo helps for some people

Seems to make the most difference when you already have good internet though

[torpid hornet]

yeah

stable internet

[analog wharf]

If your internet is just dogshit then ethernet doesnt seem to make a difference

[strong lagoon]

true, need to buy good internet first lel

you know what

im gonna look at prices for new providers rn

[torpid hornet]

I mean when someone's downloading even then ether seems to work fine

I mean assuming someone's download using one port it doesn't affect you that much if you are on another port

[strong lagoon]

i have no one in my house so

just dogshit internet

[torpid hornet]

lol

[strong lagoon]

ur a modder tho pumpking?

[torpid hornet]

yes

kool

[strong lagoon]

i just

google

for cheap

[torpid hornet]

vbucks?

[strong lagoon]

i can get 132 mb/s

its like £30 a month

[torpid hornet]

ah

I have like 300mbps at home

[strong lagoon]

im buying rn lel

[torpid hornet]

and at college and hostels I have like 1gbps

xD

[strong lagoon]

jesus LOL

one can only dream

[torpid hornet]

lol they blocked steam tho

[strong lagoon]

pushing 400 kb/s on this update

[torpid hornet]

[strong lagoon]

LMAO

i cant bro

i cannot deal

[torpid hornet]

just upgrade your speed

[strong lagoon]

true

oh my god

wait

[tawny trout]

😥

[strong lagoon]

ok im with sky

broadband

could i just upgrade my package and get faster download/u speed?????

[torpid hornet]

I think depends

how they change plan

like at the end of month

or maybe directly switch you

[strong lagoon]

yah yah true

[tawny trout]

Man ,I cant do anything 😔

[analog wharf]

oh well my area doesnt have full fibre so cant do much atm

gotta stay with shit internet for now

[strong lagoon]

looks like ill be upgrading i hope

if all goes well

[analog wharf]

haha nice

I'll probably be staying on shit internet for another couple years

[strong lagoon]

ouch

ive been on this shit internet for a while ngl

i am due an upgrade

[analog wharf]

yeah, my area doesnt have full fibre and even if it did negotiating with my parents to upgrade to a better internet would be hard lol

[strong lagoon]

that was my problem at my parents but i moved out not too long ago

but while i was there i was literally gonna buy it myself for my parents

because it was painful

LOL

[analog wharf]

damn

[strong lagoon]

but im new to this shit im only 18 and im fully moved out

so i havent upgraded

now is the time i think

pushing 400 kb/s on an update makes me want to rip my hair out

takes like 4 hours for a 10 gb update

[analog wharf]

omfg fr sometime my shit just randomly drops

[strong lagoon]

I KNOW

[analog wharf]

sometime it stable and other times it shits the bed

[strong lagoon]

its horrible

wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy

[analog wharf]

downloading big games takes hours such a pain

worse than watching paint dry like omfg just finish downloading already

[strong lagoon]

it rlly does plus the unpredictable disconnecting of wifi

i want to play destiny 2 bc i loved that game

i just upgraded my pc

but its such a big game

like 100+ gb

[analog wharf]

uninstalled it because it takes so much space

[strong lagoon]

exactly what i did

but cant just get it back whenever bc it would take like 2 days to install lmao

[analog wharf]

for me it would take hours which is still way better than you but still slow af

I want to install more shit but waiting to get a bigger drive

[strong lagoon]

what are you on now?

[analog wharf]

my drives?

[strong lagoon]

yah

gb/tb

[analog wharf]

ignore system res drive

i name F seagate bad because its a seagate drive ofc and seagate is shit

[strong lagoon]

what would u upgrade to?

i think the sweet spot for me is 2tb

[analog wharf]

yeah i was planning to upgrade to a 4tb like i said before

[strong lagoon]

oh yahhhh

yah that would be good

[analog wharf]

I had to delete my vms aswell cause takes up space

[strong lagoon]

cheaper too if you just buy a big drive

save u upgraded alot

[analog wharf]

I had fun with that shit but had to delete my vms cause they take up space

[strong lagoon]

smh its annoying

see like rn im pushing 4mb/s

but it will dip so low sometimes

[analog wharf]

Got artix linux, w11 almost managed to get gentoo installed, and i think also MacOS at one point which I want to do again but it will be a pain in the ass since virtualizing macos on amd cpus is annoying

[strong lagoon]

virtual machines are fun asf imo

[analog wharf]

I tried to install newer versions (monterey) and gave up because it just kept giving me an error message, couldnt even get to the VMWare loading screen it just straight up errored when i started up

Last time I tried was big sur and it worked fine so pretty interesting

[strong lagoon]

error screens ouch but u got it to work so i mean

w

[analog wharf]

Pretty sure it was big sur atleast

Ig I'll have to try in a while but for now I wont attempt installing MacOS as it seems it will just be troubleshooting shit

[strong lagoon]

no fuck mac LMAO

[analog wharf]

Macos is bad fr

It was just on a vm though but fuck apple

[strong lagoon]

yah i get you but fuck emmm

[analog wharf]

I got the VM to go past the error screen but it didnt seem to detect my iso that i selected as it went straight to network booting

[strong lagoon]

how would u bypass that?

[analog wharf]

I changed the compat on my VMWARE to workstation 10 and it went past the error screen but it just went to network boot

If i can recreate my vm rq ill show you

Waste of time so i deleted it

Currently only got 1 vm

used to have several

No option so i went for Other 64 bit, i ran smth but it didnt do anything

[lilac heath]

Rip

[analog wharf]

the pain the suffering @strong lagoon

[strong lagoon]

ouchhhh

[analog wharf]

shi keeps network booting like cmon just boot from the iso already

[strong lagoon]

never goes how u want it to tho

[analog wharf]

changed boot order and still stuck there smh

[strong lagoon]

just to be difficult

[analog wharf]

macos virtualization is a pain man

hope the ISO isnt corrupted

[strong lagoon]

its apple im telling you LOL

they do it on purpose

[analog wharf]

Yeah macos virtualization is tough

[strong lagoon]

they hate seeing fun

[analog wharf]

Especially on AMD they dont like you virtualizing macos

Could also be the ISO corrupted or me doing something wrong but in general virtualizing apple shit is hard as they want you to buy into their ecosystem rather than virtualizing

[strong lagoon]

LOL its true tho

[analog wharf]

I'll try 11x compat

See if there is a compat version that eventually works, 11x and not working yet

[strong lagoon]

trial and error pretty much

[analog wharf]

yeah, just gotta try random shit until it works

[strong lagoon]

exactly

just hope the next random shit u try works lol

[analog wharf]

if changing compat doesnt work i'll move on to searching stuff up see if people have had similar issues and managed to solve it

ok, so 16x and above gives me the failed to start error, under 10-15x gives me network boot

time to go to searching ig

[strong lagoon]

youll find something then ngl

surely

someone has a fix

[analog wharf]

yeah, when i followed changing it to 10x i could get to the network boot so the vm kinda started up but never booted into anything

Was able to access BIOS and all

[strong lagoon]

oooooo

sometime soon i hope

[analog wharf]

will be a hard one to fix since im getting 2 errors depending

[strong lagoon]

it sounds like it ngl personally i cba LMAO

[fervent granite]

wasn't too hard for me except I used kvm

I even got usb passthrough working on it

but also

[analog wharf]

I use vmware and amd so it is a pain

if you got any vmware tips would be nice

[fervent granite]

google is all I got

[analog wharf]

most seem to be unrelated

imma try upgrading my vmware

havent updated in a while

didnt work sadly

gon have to try later, eventually i will find a solution

got big sur to work so surely i can get monterey, seems to be way harder though

[marsh cliff]

What upgrades should I add to this pc?

https://www.currys.co.uk/products/pcspecialist-tornado-r3-gaming-pc-amd-ryzen-3-gtx-1650-512-gb-ssd-10239561.html

Other than ram

[analog wharf]

Dont get it

Your PS5 would perform wayy better than that, if you have a bigger budget you can get something on par or better than PS5

seeing that the often bought together shows the PC and roblox gift card, since roblox is probably the only thing it can run smoothly

1650 is an overrated card with pretty weak performance and just another nvidia cash grab

@marsh cliff

[marsh cliff]

My bad

I forgot to check discount

Discord

So in the meanwhile

I was building a mid pc

Anyways I realised the pc is more of a one trick pony

Having 2 channel

Crappy mobo

L cpu depending

And mid power supply

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Kd13563/saved/#view=kwYVFT

This is what I tried

To make

[marsh cliff]

💀

Your right

Sad how amd gets seemed as better because it's slightly less overpriced than nvdia

At least its better for budget pcs

[marsh cliff]

@analog wharf anything I can improve on?

[brave field]

The 16 series was a special kind of scam

@marsh cliff You can get a 6650XT instead of a 6600, two models up https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fFpLLs

Issue for me is

I prefer WiFi built in the motherboards

And I'll change the case to a nzxt flow

But thanks alot

Question

WiFi mobo or WiFi antenna thingies?

[brave field]

Generally would go with a PCIe wifi adapter if you absolutely 100% HAVE to use wifi, but ones built into the mobo can be okay, depending on the chipset it uses

usually you pass the mobo ones up because of the price hike that comes with them, but things have gotten better

[twin badger]

I replaced my PSU and now i have 3 different issues

1. PC boots up, but gets stuck in the motherboard logo screen

2. System only recognizes one drive or none of them and if it does recognize an SSD (where my windows is), it will give me the message to insert a proper boot media.

3. After resetting CMOS battery and reconnecting the sata cables, the PC may eventually boot into windows with both drives, but after a short while freezes and becomes unresponsive.

[marsh cliff]

(Im bad with advice) but any power supply cables poking out?

@brave field

What WiFi card do you recommend?

[brave field]

The Intel AX200 has one of the largest featuresets per dollar, but you won't easily find ones by just searching for it

Intel makes the m.2 adapter itself, but the boards they come on may be made by ASUS, or Gigabyte, or anyone really. You'll see which card it uses internally by reading the specs though, and some motherboards will list that card as well

[marsh cliff]

Thanks

So this is my updated build

I changed the ram back because it fitted the theme more

Thanks for the free lower price upgrade+ overclocking

[rapid lake]

Ah damn. I was gonna ask if you're still having the same issue as me; discord keeps crashing after launching on iOS 12.5.6 (basically latest you can get on iPhone 6)

It's been 2 weeks

[brave field]

We're not allowed to talk about illegal ways to activate Windows here. Ryzen CPUs do already come with coolers and paste though, so you'll save money not buying a third-party cooler until you've tested to see if you'll benefit from it at all

[light totem]

thought it's only explaining how to do it

[twin badger]

So i uhh, waited 3 weeks for a PSU to arrive, for it to just not properly fucking work

awesome.

The old PSU works fine

the new one doesn't

and the new one was nearly 2x more expensive

[brave field]

Even acknowledging that it's a viable option can be a bit problematic. Microsoft doesn't mention any allowed methods of that other than using an existing Windows 7/8 key you own to activate 10/11

[light totem]

fair enough

[light totem]

also why's that psu 200$

[twin badger]

cant see shit

[marsh cliff]

Shoot mb

[arctic yarrow]

You could download steam OS and rely on Proton, that's a free option.

Bear in mind some games may not work.

[marsh cliff]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Kd13563/saved/#view=pyWVFT

[marsh cliff]

It's 69.99

[light totem]

i mgiht be looking at the wrong list

please don't get nzxt h510
i have it and it sucks

[marsh cliff]

What no

The link above is the flow edition

[light totem]

ok im definitely looking at the wrong list

[marsh cliff]

The one with more than a inch of air flow cough cough

[marsh cliff]

The one I picked is an flow atx h510

[twin badger]

How much is a 5600 for you?

[marsh cliff]

I'm British so 124 pounds

[twin badger]

in dollars = ?

[marsh cliff]

Or 123.54

In uk

[light totem]

150

[marsh cliff]

Brb

[twin badger]

Ok then yeah, the 5600g makes more sense

[marsh cliff]

[twin badger]

theres not a lot of difference between 5600 and 5600g in terms of performance

5600g being a tiny bit slowr

[arctic yarrow]

The only difference is one has an integrated GPU

[twin badger]

but def not worth the 25 dollar or so price difference

[twin badger]

I am well aware of that fact

[marsh cliff]

It has better performance but weaker clock boost

[twin badger]

weaker clock boost = weaker performance

[marsh cliff]

Dam

[twin badger]

Similarly to 5600x vs 5600

[marsh cliff]

So I should run the 5600?

[twin badger]

where 5600x just has 200 mhz higher clock speeds

[arctic yarrow]

I can see the 5600g being useful for a home media PC.

[twin badger]

eh no

stick with 5600g

theres maybe 1-2% difference

in performance

[marsh cliff]

I'm confused now

[twin badger]

Ok if you dont understand yet, i asked what price 5600 was for you because it is a tiny bit more powerful, but since 1-2% performance difference doesnt justify almost 20% price increase, i told you to stick with 5600g

Still confused?

[marsh cliff]

Nope

[twin badger]

good

So i'd say thats a fine build

[marsh cliff]

👍

[brave field]

If you're in the UK, use UK PCPP instead of the US one

[twin badger]

I dont know much about asrock boards and how good they are, but overall looks good

[brave field]

You'll get local prices, deals, and stock info

[twin badger]

Was he using american retailers?

[marsh cliff]

Highest demanding game I'd play would be forza

[marsh cliff]

I'm using the UK one

[twin badger]

You sure newegg is in UK?

[brave field]

Were the last links uk.pcpartpicker.com?

I might've misread, my bad

[twin badger]

The CPU is a UK amazon

but the GPU is newegg

[marsh cliff]

Ohhhh

Newegg ships to uk

[twin badger]

oh it is in UK

lucky bastards

[marsh cliff]

But uh Newegg sucks as a company

[twin badger]

Bro, at least they got this beauty https://www.newegg.com/yeston-geforce-rtx-3080-rtx3080-10g-d6x-ya/p/1FT-007N-00071?Item=9SIAZUEHMN7535

[twin badger]

Its been on that sale for quite a while

Seems to me more like a marketing trick

[marsh cliff]

I like the design without the anime girl

[twin badger]

You disregarded the best part

shame on u

[marsh cliff]

A white version of the model looks nice

[light totem]

[marsh cliff]

[light totem]

aorus has some rly well put together gpu

[marsh cliff]

Now tell me at most what they have

[twin badger]

Idk, you can look at what else they have

yourself

[light totem]

their other gpus look mid tbh

[twin badger]

Yea, that 3080 is their best looking one

[marsh cliff]

Swear they raised the price on ne

Me*

[marsh cliff]

WHY ARE THE PRICES CHANGING

850 bucks to 1k

How did the psu become 160 bucks

Since the UK shouldn't have the China tax, you might have Corsair options that better fit your budget now, like the TXM or RMx series, or the gray label CX*50s if you really need to save

Any suggestions

Or is it perfect the way it is

[lilac heath]

Should be good for 1440p gaming

[wispy mesa]

yea looks good

[marsh cliff]

[pliant lynx]

Nice OF

[twin badger]

So i replugged my PSU again and now it magically works again

Phew, so i didnt wasted 3 weeks of my life

[lost fossil]

i see some grills in this onlyfans box

[marsh cliff]

All those grills are hot 🥶

[junior flax]

@lost fossil

hey ur good at pcs

i need some advice pls

if ur available

[lost fossil]

i'm average at pcs at best

[junior flax]

so the place i was gonna buy my 3070 has reduced the prices by about £20 each cos the 40 series released

[lost fossil]

but

[junior flax]

ur good enough ok take the compliment 😂

i have 3 choices

or do i go for a 2070 super

for 290

or a 2080 super

idk 😭

[lost fossil]

giggabyte is
zotac is good but 2 fans for cooling is lacking a lil bit if u ask me
msi

[junior flax]

mhm

thank u

i have a ryzen 5 5600x btw and 16gb of ram

@lost fossil do i even look at the 20 series?

or just go for the 30

[lost fossil]

30 these days id say

[light totem]

this looks so nice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0-rzm7ReqI

[cold elbow]

It does

But mechanically it's not that impressive

And over complicated

[marsh cliff]

Unfortunately I had to deal with a prebuilt

At least it's decent

[snow rover]

solid

and not in the good way

[quartz kayak]

Ryzen 7 2700x rtx 2060 oc if thats relevant, what cpu should i upgrade to?

[marsh cliff]

@snow rover

Quick question

Actually nvm

[snow rover]

trolled

[marsh cliff]

Oh yea

How long is the GTA sale on steam

[snow rover]

i dunno

you can get it even cheaper for keyshops

[marsh cliff]

One last thing

Metal gear rising revengence or GTA and some random 7 buck game

[marsh cliff]

🥶👍

[cold elbow]

What u want it for? If only gaming then get a 5600

[quartz kayak]

What would be the upgrade after the 5600?

[cold elbow]

5800x3d or maybe a 5700

But for the most part at the time you wanna upgrade again you will switch to a new platform and ram

[quartz kayak]

😮 ty

[marsh cliff]

5600/5600g/5600x depending on budget

[quartz kayak]

Am rich (not)

[marsh cliff]

5600g

[twin badger]

Is it possible to order that usually plastic part of a graphics card on which you mount the fans on somewhere?

[lost fossil]

[lost fossil]

it depends on a lot of factors if it's a hipster gpu then probably finding a replacement plastic shroud could be a problem

one of the options would be to forget about it and mount some 92mm fans on the gpu heatsink

[brave field]

^

[light totem]

clean ur mousepad

[lost fossil]

i did

it's just that shit's engraved in too deep and it doesn't come out even after a thorough cleaning in a tub

[light totem]

[marsh cliff]

What will be my upgrade path 😈

[brave field]

price looks really high?

AM4 is a "dead socket," and you'll be doing CPU, mobo, and ram all at once, unless you're only GPU limited when you do upgrade. Rather than buying in hopes of upgrading and buying again, it might be good to just buy what your upgrade would've been when it comes out

[marsh cliff]

I physically cannot afford to buy the partd

I need to buy it bit by bit

So I'll start with mobo then change the ram

CPU is fine

[ionic drum]

Is this good?

[raven ridge]

boah idk what the price is in € or $ etc but thats a decent gaming laptop

[ionic drum]

That's like a little under 1000$

Are ryzen's good?

[raven ridge]

i use a 5600 for my pc with a 6700xt

and i aint experiencing problems

idk the difference tho

[ionic drum]

PCs are different
Although amd has slower clock speeds than Intel
They must still get hot

[twin badger]

Well, i had some cracks in the spots where you screw in the fans, so it was making a rattling noise. I did a more DIY approach of just gluing those cracks together, not sure how effective it will be, but thats about the best i can do. Couldnt find that plastic part anywhere.

[marsh cliff]

Ryzen is for gaming and intel I'd mainly for weaker gaming but more work based stuff

[marsh cliff]

16 gigs is nice

Idk about the rtx 3050

The vram limit can be annoying

I've don't think I heard it the 5800h

But from the look of it on Google it's decent

[ornate tusk]

can someone help me with epic games moving game directory please

[twin badger]

I thought the roles are reversed here

[lost fossil]

with intel's recent comeback i3 12100 and i5 12400 are the best for budget gaming but before that it was ryzen indeed

and intel was for work stuff because photoshop likes muh 9 ghz single core

[brave field]

@marsh cliff Don't do this

buying your parts in slow motion is a good way to end up with a bunch of DOA parts you can't test

You can't change these just one part at a time, also. They're all incompatible with ANY newer part, so you have to go for it all at once

[marsh cliff]

Dam

At least it will take a few years before I'll need to upgrade

[twin badger]

Thats given you are just now looking to build a PC, but for me it was definitely a more sensible option to just go from a 1st gen ryzen to a 5th gen with the same board, thats what i love about AM4 the most

[lilac heath]

Find another one with rtx 3060

4gb vram is way too less nowadays

I've never seen a game run so bad on AMD when compared to Nvidia that even cards usually worse can beat it

[lilac heath]

Same

And intel gpu couldnt even open the game

[analog wharf]

Classic intel gpu

Intel would probably perform worse than amd if it could open the game

Shitty drivers bring its performance down

[lilac heath]

Cus nvidia worked on adding rtx to portal 2 so u can expect this

Also they did a terrible job

There may be a UAC window trapped behind the Nvidia window, move it around in case

whats that

I know this sounds crazy

it's broken

I simple fan isn't worth repairing, just replace it

[jovial tide]

i cant i made the whole pc into 1 warranty

cuz i bought it as a custom

then i get warranty for the whole pc

i just sent it in

they might have it fixed tomorrow

[snow rover]

bought it as a custom? that looks like an oem prebuilt to me

[jovial tide]

i transfered parts from a prebuild

my custom one was too big for me

luckily i fit in some parts

poor you

gonna have to buy a new fan on aliexpress or wherever and replace

cheaping out on cooling fans

why would you do that

[lost fossil]

where else u gonna buy replacement fans for a one off oem gpu that can't be bought anywhere except from dell

[brave field]

heatsink design matters more, fans just need to be able to push some amount of air from between the fins

[jovial tide]

my rtx 3060 will not have warranty

chromebooks dont use gpus

chromebook is a os that runs off of chrome

i forgot nameå

My guess would be integrated graphics

Which is even worse

[brave field]

It's just doing video decode, so the GPU is pretty suitable for the usecase

I guess just... why do that? Why sell that, why buy that?

Can you provide any more info?

[jovial tide]

when it loads in the grub menu it says it cant find the command grub_platform

[wispy mesa]

Are you installing on a vm?

[jovial tide]

btw this pc has no gpu or it wont register one

[wispy mesa]

Is it an iso file?

[jovial tide]

nope its on a 2017 pc

[jovial tide]

nope

its on a seagate backup drive

i burned it on there

[wispy mesa]

What hardware? Oh ok

[jovial tide]

well 4 gigs of ram

[wispy mesa]

Is uefi supported on your hardware?

[jovial tide]

its old

im not sure

would a bios update add that

the bios havent been touched since 2017

theres also no secure boot option

im considering to wipe windows first to have a cleaner installation

nothing here is even gotten to update

[lapis haven]

what software you used to copy the image?

[jovial tide]

uh etcher

[lapis haven]

use rufus

[jovial tide]

does etcher work?

or is it rufus that i need

[lapis haven]

not sure, never used it

[jovial tide]

ah

balenta etcher

never heard ofi t

its for macos only

this pc is so laggy so i cannot nearly install anything so im wiping it

[lapis haven]

then thats why i never heard lol

[jovial tide]

do you know how i can access the recovery options on this pc

without going trough hell

[lapis haven]

mac?

[jovial tide]

windows 10

or 9

im not sure

whole pc aint responding

damn i hate this avast program on this pc

its eating up alot of the cpu

[lapis haven]

are you using windows or mac? im confused

[jovial tide]

windows

i used a macbook to flash it

then i took the harddrive and put it in the windows pc

[lapis haven]

use rufus for copying the iso image

[jovial tide]

ok

[lapis haven]

using your windows machine

[jovial tide]

ill just do a wipe first with windows

cause lag

nothing is even responding

do you know how to access recovery settings in windows

like while booting or smth

[lapis haven]

hold down the shift key while clicking the shutdown button

iirc

[jovial tide]

im holdin it

ok something happened ig

[lapis haven]

its not shutdown, restart maybe im not sure

[jovial tide]

restart yes

ok im wiping it

ok it worked thank god

[lapis haven]

you can do that or use a windows installation media to enter recovery

[jovial tide]

now im gonna wait as 192 gigs of data disappears

by the way

could i use a 4 gig ram 2 core cpu as a server

[lapis haven]

personal home network server, yes

[jovial tide]

i can host a router on this?

if i connect it to the network

virtual router btw

[lapis haven]

you mean openwrt-like OSes?

[jovial tide]

ig so

our school uses vps servers for wifi

we get insane speed

[lapis haven]

yea, ive done that on an older machine than yours before

[jovial tide]

ok

damn i had memories on this pc

alot

gta 5 cracks

and i did all of this when i was like 8-9

im not sure how long back that was

found old video of myself using manycam idk why and a video of me playing my own game in roblox

its just funny cause these videos are confusing as hell

wait how can i clean off the current linux installation of ubuntu on my harddisk

[lapis haven]

just format the whole disk and start over

[jovial tide]

ok

[cold elbow]

mine is currently that running windows 10

[jovial tide]

ill try to get discord in the web and you could guide me a little with that cause i tried formatting

[jovial tide]

how old is ur pc

[cold elbow]

i have pi hole, syncthing and some bots running on it

[lapis haven]

okey dokey

[jovial tide]

when i come to login screen theres a cool old sound

[cold elbow]

probably older than me

[jovial tide]

do do du duuu

[cold elbow]

lol

[jovial tide]

honestly im so tempted to making this pc into a overkill

[cold elbow]

if you plan on using windows make sure to remove all the bloatware

[jovial tide]

replace cpu with a amd one

[jovial tide]

i might make it dualboot

[cold elbow]

why u want dualboot

[jovial tide]

i have a config to if my harddrive isnt plugged in it will boot windows

it can act as failsafe if linux fails

cause then i got no software to reflash the iso file if needed

[cold elbow]

u can always have a portable OS on a flash drive

[jovial tide]

ye ik

but this windows pc has a windows installation on its C drive and idk how i can just like transfer it over

so its permanently a linux one

[cold elbow]

u can clone it easily

[jovial tide]

ok

my uh pc reset is still at 9%

its frozen there

[cold elbow]

i dont remember ever using reset

always fresh install

[jovial tide]

well im just resetting cause pc cant even boot without lag

i cant open any apps nearly

avast eats 40% of my poor 2 core cpu

[cold elbow]

why tf u use avast

[jovial tide]

idk it wasnt me bro

this pc was last booted online in 2017

dont even ask me
