i still stand by my opinion that a*20 should only be used for offices or when the budget is at the absolute minimum

given that there is an h6 and a 360mm aio cooler on the list, the budget is not at the absolute minimum

[rapid lake]

can you do another one where you replace the ones you marked with parts that add up to the same budget roughly

Also why is the ram slow

[lost fossil]

i don't think i can but try looking for thermalright peerless assassin for the cooler, that would be like 60 dollers freed up right there

[lost fossil]

u need 6000 mhz cl36 or 32 or 30

well, not need, but it's recommended

for mobo look for these in your region and see what's cheap

cases i also dunno in your region bc shipping expenses can make cases cost way different in different regions but lianli lancool somethingsomething was a good option

[civic arch]

why a 4060 ti tho

how is it priced

if its gaming only theres better gpus to get than that

cpu is good if u can get it cheap tho

i got a ryzen 5 7500f on my system

[junior flax]

whats wrong with h6 flow

[cold elbow]

It's probably shit

Because nzxt cases are shit

[lost fossil]

nothing but that shopping list has a 7500f and an a620mobo which indicates that h6 flow is not the right case for the budget

[rapid lake]

Nice thanks

What about the CPU

Is it too slow for that build, or just there are better alternatives in the same price range?

it was put together by a pc consultant who earns 5 figures 😭😭😭😭

Oleg it’s time to make some cash

On another note

The 7500f, A620M and Corsair vengeance are in a bundle which costs like £100 less

[jovial tide]

1 + 1 = 2

[quartz kayak]

Lies

[nova steppe]

still not worth. There are many good bundles out there, just gotta look harder

[rapid lake]

It's a done deal

[civic arch]

that cpu could handle a much faster gpu

im running a ryzen 5 7500f with a 7800xt

really good cpu for gaming

[rapid lake]

She has a 1060 with an i5 of some sort right now

so this should set her up for the next couple years

[civic arch]

a series mobo is fine if ur plan is not to upgrade

i got a msi mortar b650m so i can get a 7800x3d

in the future

[rapid lake]

Clever

[civic arch]

which 4060 ti is the one you getting+

8gb or 16gb??

you should drop the aio tho and maybe get a better gpu

[nova steppe]

@civic arch 😭

[civic arch]

i just looked how damn expensive that aio is

hopefully it aint a 120mm one

[rapid lake]

I have no clue

not my PC

mine is still the good 'ol i7 7700 with the GT640

except it is anything but good

just old

[civic arch]

rip

atleast get a better gpu

you could buy anything used and it would be much better

[nova steppe]

the issue is with those first three words

[civic arch]

[rapid lake]

The issue is I need to also upgrage my PSU before doing anything and I got different priorities than upgrading my PC I rarely use right now

no but a new screen protector about more than a week ago

that could be it, some cheap ones stop it

[spiral oak]

not any system updates

[spiral oak]

its not cheap neither expensive

its been fine with a lot cheaper

if it worked right after putting it on its probably not the protector

It's on a website thats in my country, I would've done it with pcpartpicker but some parts aren't listed there so I just made this list.

[lime girder]

Will keep that in mind. Thanks.

[snow rover]

spend less on the nonsense and more on the gpu

[lime girder]

Is $681 not enough for the gpu? (Conversion may not be accurate btw)

[snow rover]

well i didn't mean quite literally spend more, but rather get a better one

[lime girder]

I spent most on the CPU and GPU, as I'll be gaming a lot.

[lime girder]

What would you recommend?

With all the new GPUs I find it hard to compare.

[snow rover]

whatever you can afford

4070/ti/4080/ti/super/whatever

a 4070 super is already 50% faster

[lime girder]

I see.

One more thing.

Would a 850W PSU be enough for a GPU of that magnitude? Or should I go for a 1000W PSU?

I feel like 850 would be too less.

[snow rover]

yes it's plenty

[lime girder]

Oh so 850W is fine?

[snow rover]

i have an 850w psu with a 350w tdp gpu

[lime girder]

Ah I see, so it would be okay.

Anyway thanks. Appreciate the help.

[exotic patrol]

When you verify files

[nova steppe]

If you want 32GB of ram, just get a 16GBx2 kit, instead of 4 individual 8gb sticks, as that pair (of 16gb sticks) is guaranteed to work, instead of gambling on those 4 sticks working well with each other (even if they're the exact same!)

Plus, it should be cheaper to do so.

[lost fossil]

• do not but separate 1-stick packs of ram, buy as a kit (as am🅰️deus said)
• asus psu is overpriced just like everything else asus,
• gamdias aio more like aiNo https://youtu.be/H8xFQTmp2lk, get an arctic liquid freezer 3 instead
• case is overpriced and there's no point for you to get the xl version

i can swear by the deepcool pq1000m psu that i have, see if it's available, or the px***g, which has the new gpu connector

case is a preference thing but if you don't care that much then there are a lot of lian li clone type of fishtank cases that cost like a third (if not quarter) of the one you picked

you could probably upgrade the gpu from 4060ti to 4070/super with savings from just the case alone

[nova steppe]

Oh yeah, I was also going to mention the case but i forgor. Don't bother with the XL

I have it, but that's just because I wanted the hot swap drive bays

[lost fossil]

do you mean the two hdd trays that you have to access by moving the case away from the wall and removing a plate and even then it's not really hotswap because sata hotswap is janky at best?

[nova steppe]

Teehee

[lost fossil]

[nova steppe]

The way the bay works is that it literally categorizes itself (or rather, all the individual drives) as removable media

So you can just eject hard drives in Windows like a usb

[lost fossil]

oh alright then that's not what i was thinking of

[nova steppe]

I was just stating that, not trying to prove a point or anything

It is also comically heavy even empty

All steel

Or mostly steel, anyway (as I start sliding my magnet all over it)

[lost fossil]

no i mean i actually didn't know that its drive bay had special sauce, bc o11 evo (that i have) just has a box with sleds and that's that so i thought it's the same in yours

so much for evo-lution

[nova steppe]

That is basically what it is, and it does also have that plate in front

So it's the one thumbscrew for the cover, and one more on the inside that is on a little rail you can slide in place to "lock" in the drives

[fervent granite]

literally no one

[civic cloud]

GN offtopic

I meant tech coding math

[civic arch]

is hotswap drives a thing?

do you need a special connector not sata?

[cold elbow]

I need help figuring something out

So this guy has an issue where the Rockstar Game Library Service keeps ending and looping back to ask for admin using UAC alerts and the cycle keeps repeating until the launcher acknowledges it after about 20 times of looping

We've tried everything ranging from verifying files all the way to cleaning the registry and checking process monitor etc and all of it was done using administrator permissions

Starting the service manually and or setting it to automatic rather than manual does nothing in services.msc

Windows Security was disabled still the same outcome

With and without

No other anti-viruses

Launcher refuses to install Social Club and using a manual installation Social club just refuses to launch

LauncherPatcher keeps trying to access the registry locales then start the service manually but the service stops for no clear reason

It tries to modify WOW6432NODE but because Social Club never installs it never finishes that

RockstarErrorHandler only starts or works when using taskkill /f /im Launcher.exe /t

OneDrive is disabled and clean reinstallation of the launcher didn't help

C++ Redistributables are installed along with DirectX so the OOBE wouldn't fail installing those

Any ideas?

Here's the launcher log if it helps

[civic arch]

nahh

[brave field]

The service must have its own log files somewhere

[civic arch]

[exotic patrol]

It's not my problem but just check from the beginning

[civic cloud]

Unbalanced, lots of cheaters, shitty performance...the list is long

[civic arch]

is it safe to play even rn??

was there some exploit recently too?

old game so shitty performance is to be expected

modern cpus handle gta nicely tho

[civic cloud]

Nah dude, the performance used to be better, it just kept getting worse 💀

[brave field]

The recent exploit gave some cheaters ps360-levels of control over people's accounts, but it was blocked

being able to truly drain ingame banks rather than just spoofing it as 0

[exotic patrol]

What's confusing me in the log is that it's supposed to only loop 3 times but it looped 20/3 lol

[civic arch]

damn so is it fixed rn??

[brave field]

The fix was to disable the entire casino heist

[civic arch]

ive had that before

game never boots after they finish

[exotic patrol]

It's a different part of the service

[wispy mesa]

huh?

[exotic patrol]

Check the logs

The one you had I assumed was an exit code 2 which is when the launcher isn't able to start the service or itself is corrupted

But here there isn't even a stable error code

[wispy mesa]

thats different from the time ive had UAC alerts looping from the launcher

[exotic patrol]

UAC alerts do loop here but it's for Social Club not for the actual launcher

Everything is just slightly different so I'm confused

[wispy mesa]

hmm yea i dont remember which one it was

[exotic patrol]

Any ideas

I tried everything I could think of that would make sense

Hmm looked into it

[exotic patrol]

That's another dumb bug in the Launcher it's unrelated

[sterile cliff]

Very strange behavior might i add

Never seen anything like this

[wispy mesa]

yea that fits

[exotic patrol]

It's where the old environment was closed unexpectedly it doesn't find the previous one so it just makes a new environment and replaces it with a non-existent one

[sterile cliff]

Usually it would be like a dumb security or the services.mcs issue

But never like this lmao

[exotic patrol]

Checked them all

[wispy mesa]

im gonna assume it uses loopback to talk to service

[exotic patrol]

Would make sense why it loops for 20 times

[sterile cliff]

Either his system is weirdly screwed( like a registry file or dumb bug)

[exotic patrol]

process monitor showed all the locales being accessed in the registry and something about ControlSet but not sure what

Tho I verified them with someone else the ControlSet was there but not the locales

[sterile cliff]

Did he do any optimizations to it and accidentally turn off a service by accident

[exotic patrol]

We did everything to the service

[sterile cliff]

I have a program here that shows all startup apps including drivers and services

[exotic patrol]

All possible combinations and reinstalling and manually installing

None worked

[sterile cliff]

Maybe i can send it see if we can find the issue

[exotic patrol]

What's it called

[sterile cliff]

Lemme boot up my laptop real quick

I forgot the name

I got it from an optimization pack like a year ago

I use it to check for any apps that i dont need to start

[exotic patrol]

The launcher service isn't in msconfig tho

[sterile cliff]

Maybe it can help root out the problem

[exotic patrol]

But that's to be expected it's clearly corrupted or not fully set up

[sterile cliff]

Here lemme send a snip

[exotic patrol]

where

[sterile cliff]

A screen snip

This is the program

Autoruns

And it shows me a full list of everything that is activated on boot

[exotic patrol]

Guy has to go but I will see if the launcher is in there

Before he goes

[sterile cliff]

the rockstar library service is there

btw

here lemme show u

[wispy mesa]

did you say his service was running?

[sterile cliff]

it also shows here the rockstar service

[exotic patrol]

Service not in there

I figured since it wasn't in msconfig

Anyway he's gone now

[wispy mesa]

not in mine either

oh its back lmao

[exotic patrol]

What's in that registry path

[exotic patrol]

wait what is

[wispy mesa]

this didnt exist before lol

[sterile cliff]

u mean the drivers

or the rockstar one

well this is the library service one

[lost fossil]

[exotic patrol]

Any ideas

[lost fossil]

no

[sterile cliff]

his rockstar app is just screwed then

or something happens during installation

but yet again i dont see that being a thing bec of install

considering it does open after 20 loops

[lost fossil]

i had an issue not too long ago and what helped was installing social club from the redistributables folder in the gta5 folder

but it looks like a different issue

[sterile cliff]

its a looping thing basically

it understands its there but doesnt wanna execute it

until it does

but he would spend quite some time backing his stuff up

[civic arch]

so is the issue that rockstar launcher wont work?

[sterile cliff]

and also reinstalling once he formats his pc

[sterile cliff]

it works sorta but its very weird

[civic arch]

installing windows takes like 5 mins

[sterile cliff]

sometimes does sometimes dont

i mean format all u want

he prob has a ton of stuff to back up

[exotic patrol]

Guy is downgrading to windows 11 but I was hoping we could find a solution before he does that tomorrow

[sterile cliff]

Wait wait downgrading to 11?

U mean to 10?

Or does he have a slow system?

[exotic patrol]

Downgrading from 10 to 11

His PC is already real slow

You can see the specs in the logs

[sterile cliff]

Ohhh

[exotic patrol]

And on top of that he codes on it and has almost all the libraries and assets so it's not a fun experience

[sterile cliff]

Ohhhhh

Man that sucks

Its gonna take some time to get the libraries and assets back

Honestly he should make a list of em

Its easier that way

[sterile cliff]

I feel him honestly

Cant he just reinstall 10 though? At least to help with perfomance

[exotic patrol]

He wants to try 11

[wispy mesa]

rip

[exotic patrol]

It won't be too bad considering his main drive is an SSD but his workforce is on the HDD

But I refuse to believe that reinstalling windows is the only to fix this

That would be some of the worst code to be ever made

[sterile cliff]

I mean

I did say

Maybe theres an issue in the system

Prob a bad windows install

Or optimization

[exotic patrol]

But how can there be an issue if it was working fine yesterday

[sterile cliff]

Either way

[wispy mesa]

bad shutdown?

[sterile cliff]

Yea that still confuses me

Maybe a windowd update botched it?

[exotic patrol]

I made him run chkdsk and dism and there was nothing

[exotic patrol]

Could be

[wispy mesa]

those might not check the service?

[exotic patrol]

Who knows

[wispy mesa]

if only there was service logs

[sterile cliff]

Windows updated tend to mess things up

Iv seen it happen

[wispy mesa]

or some way to start the service via cli so it logs there

[sterile cliff]

Adding random processes out of nowhere

[exotic patrol]

There is I tried it before but it's as good as the logs

Rockstar issue for not making proper exit codes

[wispy mesa]

there is?

which one?

[sterile cliff]

its rockstar what do u expect lmaoo

[exotic patrol]

I still also haven't found a fix for this

The launcher refuses to continue if c++ isn't detected

[wispy mesa]

eh there would many error codes if you had to cover every edge case

[exotic patrol]

Manual installations fixes it but why does it fail

[wispy mesa]

looks like a microsoft bug

doesnt like the variable file names

[sterile cliff]

yea

still weird tho

im hoping that format does something

considering its bringing up c++ it might be a whole system issue alltogether

that may have been ruined by some update

[wispy mesa]

yea why does it need x86 runtimes

[exotic patrol]

It installs both x86 and x64 combined

It's a remnant they never removed from the windows 7 and 8 support

[wispy mesa]

:/

[exotic patrol]

Again what do you expect from Rockstar

Everyone here knows how bad the launcher is

It's like we're coding the launcher for Rockstar at this rate

The amount of time that I've put into figuring out and fixing this Launcher is like 100 hours

[sterile cliff]

i mean hey good for u for trying

[fervent granite]

[sterile cliff]

but a fuck u to rockstar for being dogshit at coding

[exotic patrol]

I spent 2 hours trying to figure out why social club would keep crashing for someone

He didn't have a Documents folder

💀

So simple yet so unexpected

This Launcher is really awful

Everytime I think it's over something new comes

[sterile cliff]

I really wanna be helpful towards cases like this

Not only do i help but i also learn a lil bit more

Iv prob optimised a ton of pc by now

[exotic patrol]

That's the main reason I do it

[rose yacht]

me when apps save data in documents

instead of like local

[exotic patrol]

The only app that I know of that does it is rgl

it's so stupid

[sterile cliff]

Usually my highschool would send me to other schools

To fix pcs

[rose yacht]

some games usually save their data there

[exotic patrol]

yes rgl does that for them

but still why

[sterile cliff]

Id rather work on those old ass 90's pc then with the rockstar launcher lol

[exotic patrol]

lol

[rose yacht]

i cast "working with rockstar launcher" till your last breath

on you

[sterile cliff]

Damn it

[rose yacht]

@exotic patrol btw what is rgl

[sterile cliff]

At least i got comfy to help guide me lol

[exotic patrol]

Rockstar games launcher

[rose yacht]

oh

kinda feel dumb rn

if u excuse me

[exotic patrol]

Np

[rose yacht]

🚪

[sterile cliff]

Theres a door emoji?

🚪yooooi

[exotic patrol]

The launcher has like 100 issues I can list now

[sterile cliff]

Eh ill prob never use it

[exotic patrol]

Rockstar will probably never fix them

[snow rover]

idk sounds like user error

[exotic patrol]

What's so annoying is that most of them literally require changing the directories and changing the fallbacks

[sterile cliff]

Hahahaha bolf of u to assume rockstar fixes anything

[exotic patrol]

is a broken service a user error

[sterile cliff]

Bolf lmao

I meant bold*

[exotic patrol]

is being forced to use Documents a user error

[sterile cliff]

Most errors tend to be related system wise

Updates and bad optimization can fuck up rgl very badly

[quartz kayak]

3d printer arrived what should be my first 3d print

I think i ll print a mini pp

[sterile cliff]

I was thinking the same

But why mini

[quartz kayak]

Filament expensive

[sterile cliff]

When u can go biggus

I have a couple of 3d keychains

Wait i prob have a phot

O

[exotic patrol]

I'm still glad they fixed these tho

I looked into them for like 5 hours with someone

[sterile cliff]

This was a half life 2 and black mesa keychain

[quartz kayak]

Whats that suposed to look like

Ohhh

[sterile cliff]

In orange

[quartz kayak]

Its the half life simbol

Im dumb sry

[sterile cliff]

Its the only photo apparently lol

And i have darth vaidet

R

This is the big boi

Really proud of how this came out

[quartz kayak]

Why does it have a nose

[sterile cliff]

Yeah that i couldnt exactly fix

So it just came out like that

Still looks cool tho

Pretty sure its part of the mask tho

The mouth part anyway

It sticks out a bit

[sterile cliff]

That first one is just dumb

[quartz kayak]

Is the nose on the file?

If it is you can just cut it oht

Out

[sterile cliff]

Utf-8 characters lol

[quartz kayak]

✂️ ✂️

[sterile cliff]

Yeah it was

[quartz kayak]

Just take it out then

Its easy

[sterile cliff]

Got a reference pic to look at aswell

Honestly its fine tho

Im happy with it

[quartz kayak]

Hapy hapy hapy

[latent drum]

I have decided to make a new cpu architecture

[civic cloud]

ok good luck mate

[quartz kayak]

Death is eminent

Im gonna destroy earth as soon as i learn how to make 3d models

[snow rover]

get to it then

[flat atlas]

@quartz kayak bro is the A1 mini yours?

[quartz kayak]

Ya

[flat atlas]

Nice, i got the P1S

[quartz kayak]

Cant afford those yet 😭

One day tho

100%

[flat atlas]

why not the X1C then?

[quartz kayak]

Tbh if im wasting more im just buying the best

I bought this one bcs its a starting hobby

[flat atlas]

Apparently the the new Qidi , cant remember the model name is even faster and gets to even higher temps

[quartz kayak]

Qiqi q1 i think

[flat atlas]

And there was the new 3d metal printer on kickstarter for $3000, I wiash I has the money for that

[quartz kayak]

Everyone likes it

[quartz kayak]

😂

You can 3d printe metal with the p1s

Its just kinda weird

Look into metal/composite filaments

They are expensive asf tho compared to pla or abs obviously

[flat atlas]

no, not the P1s, its a new one, gimme a sec, lemme find it

[snow rover]

i cannot wait for SLS printing to become consumer grade

[quartz kayak]

Yeah i know but you can also do it with the p1s on composite filaments

Composite metal filaments its like a plastic filament that turns into metal

Somehow

[flat atlas]

Yeah, but they are composite, not actual metal synthering

[quartz kayak]

Imagine the mess tho

[flat atlas]

composite like carbon fibre, PA6 and 12

it looks nice nough, although you need sand blasting

This is the one I'm taling about, the micronics one

[quartz kayak]

Oh i saw that one on youtube on a thumbnail

Didnt grt to see the vid tho

[flat atlas]

https://www.micronics3d.com/howitworks

[quartz kayak]

Looks nice

[flat atlas]

looks even better when sandblasted

[quartz kayak]

I feel like metal printing is nice but i dont think i would find a good use for it at home yk

[flat atlas]

actual mechatronics parts that require strength, robotics

metal gears

model cars and vehicles

non more waiting for parts to be delivered from usa

dont know how much the powder is though

[quartz kayak]

Well yeah but those are just big enterprises that can afford big bulky machines

[quartz kayak]

Hmm

[flat atlas]

yeah, but this one has a slightly bigger volume than the p1 series

[quartz kayak]

My first print ever done. Also saved my first ever poop

Gotta save that poop you already know

[flat atlas]

they give the blade?

[quartz kayak]

😍

[flat atlas]

btw did you get the ams with it?

[quartz kayak]

Yeah

They were suposed to give 2 magnets aswell but i think they dont give them with the a1 or a1minis bcs you cant stick stuff on the axises

[quartz kayak]

Nop

[flat atlas]

and alternative nozzles? 0.2, 0.6, 0.8? what filaments?

[quartz kayak]

I got pla basic and i only have the 0.4

I wna get the 0.2 eventually for models

I didnt really get anything special, just enough to get a smell of the hobby yk

If i like it i ll waste big bucks on it probably tho

I actually wanted pla matte in gray but they were out of all the matte plas but orange 💀

[flat atlas]

Did you buy it with the discount, I remember it being £169. around 200 Euro

[quartz kayak]

It was 240€ on discount yeah

[flat atlas]

Mine came out with the green one and orange one, and I nitially my prints were failing

[quartz kayak]

200 plus a spool plus 20 shipping

[flat atlas]

At least you got a better screen that teh P1 series

[quartz kayak]

Everyone said it was a really good deal so i got it

[flat atlas]

and noise cancelling, more silent servo motors

[quartz kayak]

Real

The vibrationg thing scared the shit out of me

[flat atlas]

What is the advantage at this point of my P1s over yours?

[quartz kayak]

Better axis im pretty sure and bigger bed

Enclosed

[flat atlas]

You mean the bed levelling?

how big is your bed ? mine is 25*25

[quartz kayak]

No the a1 mini is a bedslinger the p1s isnt

This ones 180×180×180

[flat atlas]

Is this bed slinger really worse than the P1s?

[quartz kayak]

People tend to believe it is

[flat atlas]

Im not too sure, I can understand if you print with engineering material that require a higher temp, but otherwise, it hink they produce prints of pretty much same quality, unless you have a particularly large print heavy on top

I feel like i wasted my money

Maybe i shouldn't have pull the trigger and simply wait a bit longer. My printer is only 5 months old

[quartz kayak]

It actually has alot more small pros tho like printing faster and beeing able to use like 4 ams i think

Also if ur kinda annoyed with the screen im pretty sure i saw a nice screen mod for it

I do agree tho the screen is kinda meh

For a more expensive printer it should atleast have a kit screen from bambulabs and a remodel by now

[flat atlas]

i got the screen the panda x touch one, based on a esp32 2.8inch touch, the developer will support one with 5 inch and 7 inch as well, with rechargeable battery and doesn't need to be connected to the bambu lab. the 2.8 inch one is kinda small though, and also the re another that costs around 80 usd iirc

going to sleep cya

[quartz kayak]

Yass

[nova steppe]

If the only thing between them is thermal compound, is it fine for aluminium and copper to stay in contact with each other? It's for heat sinking purposes

[exotic patrol]

What an ending

[outer ledge]

This case should be in the X files

[sterile cliff]

Wait it got fixed?

Lets goooo

[latent drum]

Iam done

[sterile cliff]

Results?

[wispy mesa]

Lol and thats how my UAC loop got fixed

[exotic patrol]

I looked deeper into the service and it looks like a connection issue

Also noticed in the prelauncher log that the service calls to a particular server to be able to start

The server couldn't connect and it wouldn't launch

Don't ask me who made it this complicated and this awful

[wispy mesa]

oh yea 100% my best guess is a loopback ip port the service wants to bind too is taken by something else, so it cant start, there for the launcher errors with that over and over again trying to start

[wispy mesa]

ah this is different to what i was geussing, do you know of the domain or ip it was trying to get?

[exotic patrol]

https://gamedownloads-rockstargames-com.akamaized.net/public/launcher_online_config.xml

[wispy mesa]

ew akamaized

barely works

[exotic patrol]

https://rgl-prod.ros.rockstargames.com/launcher/11/LauncherServices/App.asmx/GetDefaultApps?accessToken

You can use this to log into any social club account if you have the token then it will open the launcher for that token

Again no security

[sterile cliff]

Welp at least it got fixed for the dude

[exotic patrol]

I'm thinking there must be another way to get this code without relying on the Rockstar server so that the service works

But I don't even know where this config file goes

[sterile cliff]

Im guessing thats how they handle the communication between the client one and the server

[exotic patrol]

yep

It grabs the Social Club SDK version too

I can't tell if Social Club is the need one that needs the service or if the service is needed for Social Club to start

Need more analysis

I will see what I can find

After the update

[sterile cliff]

Ok so the service itself is needed i think

I tried disabling it a couple of times

Every time i would launch rgl the default mode of the service would be changed from manual to automatic(on)

And i did this with autoruns program

Which is basically used to disable services like this one

Same thing happens with fortnite easy cheat service

[wispy mesa]

hello

yes it can play all those games

plus probably next 10 years of games

yes

although

[supple wharf]

"https://pcpartpicker.com/list/64G2dH I need answers for this will it work for gta Fortnite valorant Roblox Minecraft call of duty and for vrchat"

[wispy mesa]

i would get 2, 2tb nvme's rather than 1, 4tb

[supple wharf]

Just thought I'd throw the link in here too

[wispy mesa]

since you probably dont want your boot drive to fail one day and loose all your data

what sorry?

[supple wharf]

Also make sure that all your fans and components actually fit in/can mount to the case you're getting

[wispy mesa]

That too

[supple wharf]

The site you used is great (I used it for my build and it saved a ton of time believe me) but it isn't that in-depth in regard to part sizes

[wispy mesa]

oh yea that cooler may not fit in the case

[supple wharf]

The case manufacturer might have their own builder website so I'd check

[wispy mesa]

How what looks?

[supple wharf]

Google it ig

[outer ledge]

This spec should play rdr2 4k completely fine

[supple wharf]

I should mention this isn't my build, this would be @jovial tide

Sorry for the ping

[outer ledge]

Yeah ik

[supple wharf]

Figure out what sizes the case is compatible with

[outer ledge]

Should we wait for the ryzen 9 series instead?

[wispy mesa]

Possibly

[supple wharf]

The R7 7800X3D is a fantastic processor as it stands now so

[wispy mesa]

im not sure id spend so little on a cooler either

Yea the processor is plenty though

[supple wharf]

Also make extra sure you know what comes with the cooler you are buying

[wispy mesa]

i personally wouldnt spend under 50 bucks for a cooler

since you got no idea the quality youll get

[supple wharf]

I didn't do that and I bought 4 of them thing I was only buying the fans, but I was mistaken and ended up with 8 fans and 4 heatsinks and such

I got the phantom spirit And have no complaints at all

Granted your case may not be compatible

It was compatible with mine

[wispy mesa]

storage

[supple wharf]

I don't know about you

[wispy mesa]

case is fine

just might not fit a 140mm cpu cooler

[supple wharf]

The fan size on his PCPP build was 158mm

Though I think the mounting size is 140 if I'm reading the product name right

I got the Corsair P4000D, pretty massive case and was easy enough to build in, I believe it's compatible with 140mm fans

I should also mention that I don't care in the slightest about how my PC looks

[quartz kayak]

[wispy mesa]

sure

[fierce lichen]

Can someone hack in cayo already have all set ups done can give 20%

On Xbox

[supple wharf]

The images in that page say that some of the mounting surfaces support 140mm fans so

[quartz kayak]

Did you just randomly press any channel and decided to send that

Whats going on inside your head my man

[supple wharf]

Cool

This one seems more catered to liquid cooling

[supple wharf]

And the details don't state what size fans are compatible unless I'm missing something

Yeah the Evo XL description doesn't say fan sizes but it says up to 11 fans, which is beyond overkill

I'm not going to recommend that one

[cold elbow]

Why buy O11 when u can buy the Y70 with a touch screen

Coolest shit ever

[supple wharf]

How would that even...work?

[cold elbow]

It's a screen

With a software

U touch it and it works

[supple wharf]

No Mr Smart guy I meant what purpose would it serve/what would it do

[cold elbow]

Flex

Why would u buy an o11?

With everything u mean 11 fans?

[supple wharf]

11 fans💀

The fans in your PC Part Picker are 140mm, which does fit both links you sent up here I think

If you're so concerned about them not fitting than just go with 120mm fans instead ig

Also make sure you buy windows

TL;DR do your own research and be thorough

Go to reviews, I really don't have much advice to give about monitors or peripherals beyond what I chose for myself

Ok

It'll probably be fine

[lost fossil]

why do u want such a hugh jass case?

what do you want to put in there

[lyric umbra]

Why is Fortnite gyatt crying?

[lost fossil]

there was another guy here last week who wanted an o11d xl and i'm just saying that if you're on the internet asking what pc parts to get then you do not need such a huge case

[nova steppe]

The XL is 10 fans, not 11(?)

and yeah, unless you're doing like, a dual system, or dual PSU setup, it is unnecessary

[civic cloud]

But big = better

[lost fossil]

https://youtu.be/LjZp_pt-Gfs i guess i can't recommend the deepcool pq-m power supply to ppl anymore

How dare they not include iexplore 6

[brave field]

It turns out, that div does not stop the page from being wider than the viewport

he just sucks at formatting, and his indentation makes it unreadable

[quartz kayak]

Ferst 3d model

Lesgoo

The thing is already printed but needs tweaks!!

I also still need to make the screw

I love my very goofy sketch

[quartz kayak]

The rail is too tight and the light doesnt fit

Grrr

[lost fossil]

gg fish

just use the nail thing to trim the piece a little bit

the one you asked your bro to use to fit the usbc board into your ds4

[cold elbow]

Gggggg

Use heat maybe

[quartz kayak]

No its like dounle the size of the border thingy

I d have to remake it

I put in 3mm but aparently it scales down on the heatbed

[cold elbow]

Or

Use zipties

[exotic patrol]

Why is this error localized

It doesn't even display the error message properly

[quartz kayak]

Its literally like a minute change on fusion360

I want to make it perfect to post on the bambulab thingy

I will also make a 16mm lily pipe holder (a good one) since all the ones i find online suck

[cold elbow]

And 3 hours printing

[quartz kayak]

20 minutes

Only 7g of filament

Almost nothing

Mehh

I ll remake them and show

[cold elbow]

Zipties is like 5 seconds job

Cost nearly nothing

[snow rover]

that's how it goes

[quartz kayak]

So pushy

[quartz kayak]

[civic cloud]

Melon just can't accept no as an answer smh

[quartz kayak]

lets see

i ll also give a head to the screw since i was using a headless thread to test it

Giving a head to the screw is proving itself harder than making the whole thing jesus

I think i have to delete the threaded thingy

😭

[sterile cliff]

Me every morning

Actually thats me on blender sometimes

[sly wharf]

Context: even if I deleted every game and file but the OS on that primary drive, it's still 60 GB, the storage settings says that there are apps there that I can't somehow delete because it doesn't exist anymore, but it's still somehow counted

:3 I can't even install on my bulk HDD because it somehow also takes up storage on my primary drive

[quartz kayak]

lesgoooo

took all thyis time to make that screw

i wana end myself

[civic cloud]

Just download a premade screw

[quartz kayak]

how am i suposed to learn then

[wispy mesa]

your pagefile is screaming

[sly wharf]

Oh my god what is that

I'm still a beginner in computer tech :D

[wispy mesa]

drive based cache used for accessing things that dont need the speed of memory, used when tranfering things etc

[quartz kayak]

looks good!

[sly wharf]

Oh

[wispy mesa]

you should just buy 1tb SSD and reinstall windows

[wispy mesa]

looks good

[sly wharf]

Can't, out of budget, just got laid off at work

Can't even afford rent anymore XD

[wispy mesa]

steal one out of some old pc somewhere

[sly wharf]

Lmao what

[quartz kayak]

[sterile cliff]

Aww dude

Thats sick

I had a 3d printer at my highschool

But only certain people could use it

I was one of those lucky few lol

[quartz kayak]

If you wana buy one now is the best day in awhile

Bambu lab is making a massive discount on all their printers which is why i bought this one

Legit a 450€ printer and i only paid 200€

Skizz also bought one

But with the ams lite

I cant afford the ams (yet)

[sterile cliff]

Ahh i would but i dont have a ton of room at the moment

I made a couple of keychains at the school printer tho

Wait lemme show u

[quartz kayak]

Thats so relatable

I have wayy too much in my room

I wanted to keep the 3d printer in my bedroom but i really dont have the space for it 🥲

[fickle finch]

Is steam summer sales up

[quartz kayak]

No

[fickle finch]

Is a time announced

[quartz kayak]

Whar

[quartz kayak]

I wrote a whole text, sent it and it disapeared

[sterile cliff]

These are the ones i made and kept for myself
