I would stick with that platform and treat yourself to 3770K, 1650 Super (or 5500/5600XT), and 16 GB of ram

He gets 50fps average on low, but it's doable

Hard to think this game that underperforms on modern systems approaches 60fps on hardware from mid- late Xbox 360 era
Diminishing returns kick in hard
arctic yarrow
Well, technically the GPU is 7 years more recent than the CPU
brave field
yeah, online is pretty singlethread-limited too though. Is his GPU usage even above 20%?
Just seems weird that one really can run this game in DX10/10.1 on a 8800gt or something with a c2q if wanted, but also can't expect consistent 3x the fps on a 10900k and 3090

Trust me, when doing physics shit, being able to assign variables and do arithmetic on them is very fucking useful.

you find that easier in python than a TI-series?
arctic yarrow
Hell yes
fervent granite
I always thought the plus ce was just a glorified ti-84
brave field
plus c/c silver adds color display, CE is higher res and more powerful and stuff iirc
also powerful enough to play gameboy games
fervent granite
But the nspire series though 
If you can mod it, you could even run some gba games on it
Also cas is op :P
fervent granite
It’ll give exact answers instead of approximated ones
For example, if I type want to do squirt(12), cas would spit out 2√3 instead of 3.46
Education systems (IB for example) ban this because it trivialises a lot of skills your expected to learn
brave field
oh, it makes math tests doable
fervent granite
Cas can also perform WAY more functions than non-cas like solve, find derivatives, limits, integrals and a bunch of other stuff

All he needed to do was apologize for that copystrike shit he did
brave field
I believe that was the Verge's doing though, not his. He doesn't own the company and likely wasn't the publisher or even the editor of the video.
He's not with them anymore
arctic yarrow
That's legit harassment. I mean, sure, make fun of his build and stuff after he did it on his thing, but don't constantly stalk him and harass him.

Just show how bad vox groups is imo.
No cover for their talents, youre massively disposable.
brave field
hm, The Verge really did do nothing for the guy after that
They send out those strikes probably to help their own public image, but no second chance, no chance to make a redemption video on the large channel more than likely, no protection from the trolls, no apologizing on his behalf or the sort, and him trying to deflect the blame was a clear sign he was vulnerable and needed help from idk, someone good at public speaking in the company? But they sorta just distanced from him, from what we know publicly.
And its not like the ENTIRE video creation and upload process was by him alone. Loads of other people HAD TO have seen it and given it a thumbs up for such a large company.
arctic yarrow
I kinda get the feeling he was only given the basics of how to build it then made to do it in one shoot, then threw him under the bus when they realized they fucked up by not training him better.
brave field
"Well, that made us look stupid. We're gonna take down 2-3 reposts but you're on your own. Good luck."

Take it out and put it back in. Make sure it's seated properly and clicks in to place.

that i did then
vapid grove
What motherboard do you have
vapid grove
Oh, do you have a GPU?
jovial tide
yes
vapid grove
i connected the hdmi to the motherboard
Plug monitor in to GPU
jovial tide
i mean i tried the motherboard's graphics. gpu doesn't work too
it spins and all but no signal. but if i remove the cable then my monitor says no cable so idk
it detects something
jovial tide
well everything is plugged i think. this new motherboard has pins in kinda different positions and it doesn't have those my old one had
and gpu is gtx 1650
only things loose and unplugged are these
blue is front usb's and jack ports
the one over it leads from usb's too but idk what it is exactly
ones at the left lead from the PSU but idk what they are too
didn't find pins for them
also system fan unplugged cuz i didn't find correct pin too
vapid grove
As long as the CPU fan is plugged in, it should post and boot fine
the two connectors on the left look like a 6+2 for GPU
jovial tide
the two connectors on the left look like a 6+2 for GPU
again i didn't find pins for them
i wanna say that it booted up fine once
only once

Thats fine, most PSUs have multiple 6 pins for GPU. As long as youve got one 6 pin on the 1650 its fine

vapid grove
Does your case have a speaker? idk how the d3sh does post codes, be it beeps or lights
would be a tiny 2 wire speaker
like this
no video signal is usually RAM related though, at least in my limited experience
kindred temple
Does your case have a speaker? idk how the d3sh does post codes, be it beeps or ...
it beeps, like most low end gigabytes.
no beeps at all (even with speaker plugged in correctly and functional) can be a BIOS error, in which case the first aid is to reset CMOS.
kindred temple
no video signal is usually RAM related though, at least in my limited experience
or it could be loose power cable for the GPU
kindred temple
but it would spit in full screen to tell you to replug it and restart

first was a new psu(no problems)
then the gtx(no problems)

get the battery out and put back again?
cold elbow
Yes and some boards has pins for it
jovial tide
not mine
kindred temple
i would try to actually fully discharge the board, unplug the PSU (or full switch off), take off the CMOS and wait for 15 mins or so.
cold elbow
Pc shoule be unplugged and after removing the battery click power button few times
jovial tide
ok gonna do that
kindred temple
and i agree with Diana's, try slot 1, thats the closest trace to the CPU.
jovial tide
ok i got the battery out so now 15 mins i guess
jovial tide
yes
cold elbow
Click the power button many times
jovial tide
did that
cold elbow
Now put everything back together and start it
If that doesn't reset the cmon then u probably have clear cmon pins on the motherboard.
kindred temple
No thats a lot
In a shittily grounded place, thats the time i need to clear the charge
and no, Diana
Gigabyte doesnt have a clear CMOS pin

My gigabyte board has it.

just tried another hdmi cable, still no
also, when they always did, my mouse's leds don't light up now
does that mean something else
cold elbow
Read up there that u tried plugging hdmi to the motherboard and that's wrong
Your cpu doesn't have a gpu to display anything
vapid grove
he said he had it plugged in to gpu a little after
jovial tide
i just tried the motherboard to see
vapid grove
without proof that it's even posting, https://forums.tomshardware.com/faq/no-post-system-wont-boot-and-no-video-output-troubleshooting-checklist.1575220/
go through that, otherwise RMA the board.
cold elbow
Now what u should do is reseating the graphics card
If that doesn't work then u might have a problem with the parts
vapid grove
^
if you still have your old parts kicking around, start replacing them one by one to rule out any defective hardware
vapid grove
can try the old gpu
cold elbow
That means psu is fine
jovial tide
i don't have the old gpu
sold it
the new gtx has been working fine this entire time until motherboard switch
idk if it's the gpu anyway..
cold elbow
If it's used to work then it's fine
Just reseat it
And maybe the cpu isnt mounted correctly
Any of that doesn't work then u need to rma or something
jovial tide
And maybe the cpu isnt mounted correctly
after mounting it i booted up the system fine. but it was only once
cold elbow
Also get it out of the case to eliminate the chance of short
jovial tide
Also get it out of the case to eliminate the chance of short
get what out
cold elbow
The entire board
cold elbow
I know
U don't need hard drive to be plugged now
Remove that
And btw
I found your clear cmon pins
jovial tide
so for now plug out everything and get the board out?
jovial tide
what if i put stuff on metal
zealous pasture
earth yourself always

touch metal?
zealous pasture
ye
jovial tide
what if some time i didn't
cold elbow
what if i put stuff on metal
Then u short it out 
jovial tide
:l
are you for real
did i just fuck my hardware
well i have the board out now but.. idk..
vapid grove
Did you wear your livestrong bracelet while assembling it originally
jovial tide
my what
vapid grove
Nvm
jovial tide
so what do i do..
cold elbow
Just do as i said
Put everything on that box
Dont plug the front io
Dont plug sata hard drive
Clear cmos as shown on the pic i sent
U can short the pins by a coin or screw driver for 10 seconds
Then start it again by shorting the power switch pins with the screw driver
jovial tide
i don't have the plug for cmos
jovial tide
so just the mb power cable and cpu power cable, then put a screwdriver on the cmos pins for 10,and then attempt to start?
@cold elbow
cold elbow
U need graphics card plugged
jovial tide
btw do i use those on the left or right for my cpu
all of those come out of psu
@cold elbow
or up or down because pic flipped

am i not supposed to plug in the + & - power switch pins?
@cold elbow how am i supposed to get the power switch + and - going with just a screwdriver?

vapid grove

jovial tide
all the sticks?
jovial tide
also rn this is responsible for my power switch
this thingy works
so i don't need to put that out and short it?
vapid grove
Unplug it and just use a screwdriver
jovial tide
That's the front USB
usbs are somewhere else
cold elbow
Anyway i told u to plug install the gpu
Dont power it on when u shorting the cmon
Dont even plug the power cord
jovial tide
ok shorted it. no power was plugged. only the psu - > mb was but that's not a problem?
cold elbow
Psu not plugged to power ?
jovial tide
nothing plugged on the back while i did it
jovial tide
so i did that then
vapid grove
Make sure cmos jumper is back in default position (if it has a jumper)
cold elbow
Now plug the graphics card and the graphics card power cables if it has any
It's not a jumper
Just pins
jovial tide
Make sure cmos jumper is back in default position (if it has a jumper)
nah it were bald pins
vapid grove
👍
jovial tide
Now plug the graphics card and the graphics card power cables if it has any
how do these look like
cold elbow
They should be labled as pcie
cold elbow
jovial tide
eeehh don't have pins for that anywhere
cold elbow
vapid grove
One of the leads on your PSU should he labeled
jovial tide
my psu has the one on the left, but no pins
vapid grove
1650s should have one 6 pin
jovial tide
1650s should have one 6 pin
it's low profile if it says anything
cold elbow
Anyways after the card being properly connected plug the cables
Power and hdmi
cold elbow
Look at the side of the card
jovial tide
besides when i put it in the gpu pin the fans spin
jovial tide
*socket
cold elbow
Anyways after the card being properly connected plug the cables
Power and hdmi
After u connect this
jovial tide
oh shit
signal
do i do something with this
i don't have the mouse or keyboard plugged yet
cold elbow
Plug them
Test everything while it's running
Dont fkn move the gou
Gpu*
Now the thing is your board might been touching some metal on the case so when u install it there again make sure it not touching anything and installed properly
Now while you at it, try turning it off and plug the second ram stick
U can see the proper way to install ram sticks on your board manual.
jovial tide
do i do something in the bios menu?
cold elbow
No
vapid grove
No
jovial tide
so turn off and put the board in?
vapid grove
No
vapid grove
Test the other stick of ram, would be worth testing the other DIMM slots as well
jovial tide
while it's running??
jovial tide
back power switch?
jovial tide
ok now the bios shows 8gb
cold elbow
Is it correct?
cold elbow
Are they on the gray slots
jovial tide

cold elbow
Turn it on then
jovial tide
alright so now what
jovial tide
yeah 8192mb
cold elbow

Turn it off
Unplug the power
Short the power switch few times to discharge static electricity then u can install it back in your case
U can test your harddrive before that if u want
cold elbow
But not data into the board
zealous pasture
jovial tide
But not data into the board
no data wasn't in
cold elbow
Exactly
zealous pasture

cold elbow
I always test my system completely before installing it in the case

yh open case test is useful
cold elbow
Your problem might been as simple as plugging the wrong front IO pins
jovial tide

so i don't need the iso?

if you're using the tool the no, it downloads for you and applies it to the usb
if you want to make your usb yourself then you need to download the iso yourself

can you tell me what to do in advance?
fervent granite
well after your usb is ready you'll boot from it
jovial tide
auto?
fervent granite
I don't know how it works for custom pc's but I assume you press a key when you turn it on to choose your boot device
it's usually esc or something
brave field
For gigabyte, F12 for boot menu, or hold DEL/go into BIOS normally and the last tab will have an override option
Then pick "UEFI: " somethingsomething USB drive model name
brave field
Once you're in the installer, click Install, then custom, and then in the drive/partition menu, click each partition and press delete until its just free space
fervent granite
it looks like this btw

How does that even work? I thought windows 10 couldn't boot from an mbr disk
brave field
Still supports it
and companies like Dell and HP keep people locked to MBR and legacy BIOS, even on the newer systems they sell
You just can't swap between MBR and GPT on the boot drive if Windows is installed on it as one or the other already, and same for the installer
fervent granite
Guessing they're doing it for no real reason then?
fervent granite
dell and hp
brave field
Might be too much work for them
Having to rewrite all the wifi card model and CPU model blocking for each individual board is probably tough
and whatever magical nonsense they have that can keep windows activated if you use a completely new drive and don't have internet at all
fervent granite
that nonsense completely fucked me up a few years ago when I had to swap my laptop's hard disk
I literally couldn't reactivate windows 8 without the recovery partition (which was yeeted when the drive killed itself), so I had to run on insider builds for a time 
jovial tide
@fervent granite when it was updating it rebooted but idk what did it try to boot up from then. now i have a "there is a problem that doesn't let us prepare your pc to work" it told me an update can fix it, but it didn't, thing popped up again
can you help with that? @fervent granite
fervent granite
This is after the fresh install?
jovial tide
i erased the drive and attempted to install the fresh win
it completed copying files i think. then it rebooted and showed me this
it's polish so i think you can't tell much
was it supposed to go back to installation window after rebooting?
i can't even enter boot menu or bios now
fervent granite
It was supposed to launch the oobe setup after it finished installing
jovial tide
what do i do
fervent granite
Couldn’t hurt to try installing again
fervent granite
It doesn’t do anything with the usb inserted?
jovial tide
It doesn’t do anything with the usb inserted?
nope. just tries to "boot up" and displays the boot error
it exactly said
"Why was my PC restarted?
There is a problem that doesn't let us prepare your pc for working but we think an update will help solve it"
and the "update" does not solve it. does the sequence again
fervent granite
You could try unplugging your drives to see if you can get to the bios
fervent granite
jovial tide
._.
brave field
force it to boot into the USB with the UEFI/boot menu, then reinstall without internet access
jovial tide
force it to boot into the USB with the UEFI/boot menu, then reinstall without in...
you mean set it to boot priority?
fervent granite
I reckon either one will probably work
brave field
UEFI first
oh, and if you turn off fast boot down there, you'll be able to access your UEFI any time if windows fails to load
brave field
Pick which you had a license for previously
Home can be upgraded to Pro at any time, Education is its own version, and don't bother with N
fervent granite
Education for sure
brave field
if your license isn't for education you'll have to run unactivated
fervent granite
Yeah but that’s an easy fix
I always recommend it because it’s like having Pro but without any of the bloatware AND with more features
jovial tide
so pick education?
fervent granite
You can use an activation tool
jovial tide
i had Home before
fervent granite
There’s lots of them, but I’m not sure I can name them
jovial tide
then which win do i install
fervent granite
I’d go with education, but pick whichever you’re most comfortable with
brave field
smh easy fix is against tos
fervent granite
jovial tide
welp. another attempt goes.
fervent granite
How long did the tool take to make the usb?
jovial tide
hour.. maybe almost an hour
fervent granite
Apple Bootcamp takes like 2 to prepare the usb 
jovial tide
i don't remember correctly, didn't keep track of time. all i did was look at the progress
i told how long it felt like
brave field
the media tool is stupid slow
I feel its probably doing other stuff in the background
like installing update assistant if your current install isn't up to date or something of the sort
the iso download when they hosted them separately was so fast before
fervent granite
Well fast compared to the tool, that iso still takes quite a while to download
brave field
true
the iso itself is bloated too
install.wim is all you really need for the install, why is the iso as a whole twice the size? You can manually install just fine using only install.wim and cmd
fervent granite
Well it does have other editions bundled
brave field
those are all in install.wim too though, no?
I guess if the other apps are in their own archive it makes sense but THEN I have to ask why edu/enterprise's extra management apps are nearly 2gb in size
They seem pretty lightweight in use, I don't get it
fervent granite
they are on install.wim yeah so it really doesn't make sense
brave field
Michaelsoft Winblows 
jovial tide
omg
again
it was preparing and loading stuff for long. but eventually displayed the thing again
brave field
You made sure to not have internet access? And this all happens far after the part where you choose the partitions to format, yes?
jovial tide
yes. i delete all partitions so only one is left, it finishes the installation, then starts preparing stuff and then the error
no internet
brave field
boot into the USB again
when you get here, don't click
Press shift and F10 at the same time and cmd should open
type in DISKPART and press enter
Then list disk and send a pic of how it looks
Its not a direct solution since the issue isn't clear but it can help sometimes
brave field
The USB drive, uefi entry again
jovial tide
brave field
first one
jovial tide
ok
brave field
and glad you sent that picture
rapid lake
Anyone know how I can fix this
brave field
seems the issue is that it isn't or can't delete your partitions even though you selected to delete them
so diskpart should hopefully take care of that
@rapid lake is it a video you're trying to watch?
brave field
To watch many videos with the movies or photos app in Windows 10, you need to get the codec support from the store (it sucks that they don't tell you which you need), but if its in a normal-ish format, VLC media player should do it just fine
is it small enough to send perhaps?
rapid lake
is it small enough to send perhaps?
The video you mean
jovial tide
brave field
Try these, make sure they're Microsoft's and not a third-party's
rapid lake
Alright
brave field
Unless you're 100% sure its an AV1 video, in which case its just acting up and you should try VLC media player, which doesn't act up because its actually maintained
rapid lake
I'll try VLC
brave field
@jovial tide select disk 0 and enter, then type clean and enter
That should remove all the partitions immediately and that leaves one less thing for the installer to deal with
Not sure if it has changed or not but I've found previously that even if you mark a partition for deletion in the installer, if it detects that previous install was of Windows 10, it'll try to keep the partition structure and some of the file in the EFI partition intact even if you choose custom instead of upgrade
rapid lake
Also curious question, what does "cls" do exactly in command prompt
brave field
"clear screen"
rapid lake
I see
brave field
yes
jovial tide
no deleting anything this time?
brave field
when you get to the partitions menu, there should only be one unallocated or free space now
nothing to delete
if there is, something went wrong
DISKPART completely removes the partitions instead of marking them for deletion like the installer's menu does
jovial tide
do i select Home ( ._.)
brave field
I'd recommend Home since your past license was for it and you won't need to use a tool that's against the Terms of Service
but go with edu if you know you need the extra features it has
jovial tide
custom inst right
brave field
yes, custom
jovial tide
aight only one partition
brave field
And its labelled as free space or unallocated or something?
Not "partition 1" or "NTFS" or the like?
jovial tide
"Disk 0 --- Unallocated space"
465gb 465 gb
jovial tide
it began to install it
rapid lake
@brave field Do you use VSC for coding?
I tried using VSC but I'm so bad it looked pretty complicated
brave field
I'm terrible at programming and started 3 weeks ago, I can't compare it to anything other than full Visual Studio and PyCharm
VSCode is nice
brave field
but you can tell it feels less complete than PyCharm/IntelliJ/other Jetbrains IDEs, even if its just as capable
jovial tide
is the priority supposed to stay on the uefi even after installation? won't unwanted things happen?
rapid lake
And, one of my friends uses "Brackets", I installed it but I couldn't download the Python extension for some reason
brave field
@jovial tide it'll be fine, worst case is that it reboots into the USB, but you can shut it down and remove the USB, or just set the priority back on the next reboot if that happens
brave field
but it was preferred to use the boot override option in the save and exit tab to the far right to avoid this
nah leave it in
you only need to shut it down and remove it if it reboots to the beginning of the installer again
jovial tide
rn the uefi is prioritized
it will always be first i saved that setting
maybe i'm being paranoid because of previous inconveniences
well
"preparing devices" means its ok?
it has that windows style loading circle
brave field
should be fine
just wait it out, don't get paranoid
If its gotten further than it was before, things are good
jovial tide
not yet
@brave field "in order to complete the configuration you need to connect to the internet"
and yes now it has gotten further
language select, keyboard
brave field
oh perfect, the install is practically done now
connect to the internet and continue on
jovial tide
eheh..
brave field
anytime, friend 🙂
rapid lake
Good luck with your programming career btw
brave field
I really didn't want it to become my career but I think I won't have too much a choice with how badly I messed up my education 
Thanks man
you too
rapid lake
I really didn't want it to become my career but I think I won't have too much a ...
What is your favorite path you wanted to take then
brave field
I'm much more comfortable with hardware than software, would've preferred something closer to designing USB standards or GPU architectures, if not those, networking or even something slightly closer to IT for a large company if I had decent social skills
but its all going well enough either way, if I end up a programmer, its not too bad if I can actually learn what I'm supposed to do faster
rapid lake
Lack of social skills is a common issue nowadays it looks like
brave field
hm, yeah
brave field
I'm sure I'm broken or something and need therapy but I'd prefer to someday start working on it instead of blaming disability or my upbringing
Can't speak to people in person, terrible at speaking to people when not in person, can't explain things well
brave field
that too
rapid lake
I mean
jovial tide
uhh, what if my CDROM data cable isn't in
rapid lake
I used to be the most unsocial person on earth, and my personality was absolute trash, I was never confident and always shy, I would cry if you look me in the eyes
But
I changed
brave field
Uh, SATA data? @jovial tide
rapid lake
And still am
jovial tide
yes
brave field
If that cable isn't in, the drive its connected to will be unusable until its put back in
jovial tide
well cdrom unusable then
brave field
@rapid lake That's nice to hear
rapid lake
Trust me, if you work on yourself you can do whatever, it also depends on the people around you. I get angry very fast and can't control my acts sometimes, but I'm always trying to hold myself and stay calm, talk gently and not rage. And I am seeing a lot of progress, I still get mad, but I don't show it, I kill that feeling and stay calm (Just an example out of topic)
jovial tide
what should i use to download / update all my drivers
brave field
Their official websites, NEVER a third-party program
you only need to install 1-2 drivers most of the time anyways
Your GPU one from nvidia.com or amd.com and your chipset one if you have Ryzen, from amd.com
rapid lake
Thanks for the motivation man
Anytime bro. If I can help with anything, which I probably can't. You can DM me whenever

What kind of VPN / Ad blockers do you guys run ?

What kind of VPN / Ad blockers do you guys run ?
Ublock origin is pretty much the all reigning local adblockers.
And for VPN, try OpenVPN with someone who have a box outside of your country. Every VPN service has a horrid reputation if you want a full blown protection.

You literally dont give anything else beyond the board? Okay...
I would go for Core i5 7600, or just go for 7700.
USED. i would not reccommend you to go for these shit new.
And for the RAM, just your typical rudimentary 16GB 2666.
GPU? Anything goes, but i would go for 1080Ti, or 2070 when the 3000 series stock is finally in full swing.
again, used.
Or if you want wArRaNtIeS, fine. I would go for an R5 3600/5600 (if you can find them at stock), with Any good B550 board.
B550 Prime from Asus would be my pick, but pick whatever you think isnt massively sketchy.
for GPU, i would go for 1660 Ti, but with how horrendous the price right now
i would go for my used recommendations.

I actually had trouble making FizzBuzz be as efficient as possible lol
coding a simple FizzBuzz takes a minute or so, but making it efficient requires 5~10 times that
ionic thistle
You literally dont give anything else beyond the board? Okay...
my specs are kinda dookie
a geforce gt 730 for the graphics card and a intel core i5 6400 for the processor
ionic thistle
I would go for Core i5 7600, or just go for 7700.
is it really expensive ?
ionic thistle
And for the RAM, just your typical rudimentary 16GB 2666.
i'll get another 8 gigs ram soon
kindred temple
Not bad, i would just go for the CPU swap. And no, iirc used intels depreciate like massively
Also, disable mentions.
ionic thistle
prolly after the processor and graphics upgrade
i need at least 3 gb vram for doom eternal tho
kindred temple
Yeah, i would go for the GPU swap. Its all on if youre feeling secure going for old or just want a new card.
kindred temple
- But really, i wont go for any pascal cards new.
Theyre just not worthwhile anymore with turing's NVENC, and ampere's literal godlike status.

i'll be fine with any gpu if it could run doom eternal :v
i just finished doom 2016
and it was pretty fire

a card that good
it's gon be mad expensive
