You might have a short somewhere

[hard forge]

hmm what is it?

[brave field]

Maybe your motherboard isn't mounted on standoffs, or something is touching your case in a weird way, something like that

[hard forge]

oh dang

but keyboard and mouses are also USB

and they don't crash

[brave field]

You can narrow things down more by temporarily using another OS or trying the drives in the ports you use for your keyboard/mouse, but I think the issues with startup/shutdown point to something physical

[hard forge]

oh alright i'll try something

thanks for helping

any idea why i cant record/screenshot minecraft it just shows my launcher screen even tho im ingame in both scenarios and trying to google it just shows stuff for obs when i just wanna use radeon software

[tulip plaza]

why did my ip go out of my range in ps4?

I can't play online and I restarted my router it's still the same

Do I need to set a static ip for my PS4?

[tulip plaza]

Fixed it, just switched my PS4 lan port

[iron lantern]

that is extremely expensive for what it is

and a 3070 is kind of overkill

i dont know why 32gb would be useful, 16 gigs is good enough

plus u can always buy better sticks after

[rustic cape]

True

I mean 32 for video editing and stuff

[iron lantern]

i can find a pc build that has rgb fans, 3060, 16 gbs, 1TB storage, same cpu at 1,599

[rustic cape]

Wow you are good

[iron lantern]

newegg is fairly reliable

[rustic cape]

But here's the thing I want more storage at least more than 2TB

[iron lantern]

unless u custom order one, i dont think i can find a pre build with 2TB storage

[rustic cape]

How can I custom order one?

[iron lantern]

I dont think theres a custom order for abs

i can always check

[rustic cape]

I found a build with a 3070 that is 1.7k

[iron lantern]

they dont have a custom order

[iron lantern]

that was instock last weekend when i was checking it

i mean, its over my budget

but its certainly a fairly good price for a 3070 build

[rustic cape]

Yeah it is I can focus on other parts of the build now

I mean I can just not use the extra money on the PC but I might just use it on something else

Yeah honestly I don't need to focus on anything else for the build

Maybe I can upgrade the keyboard and mouse but I rather not

[rustic cape]

Should I get a 5tb external hardrive?

It would appear my raspberry pi has destroyed its SD card in three weeks

[brave field]

er

I did forget to move one of my docker containers to an HDD

but that one wasn't really doing anything write-intensive

[silent mason]

I entered the queue for the 3070

[jovial tide]

i entered at 9 40 am et probably will get in under a month

[silent mason]

normal 3070, not ti, for me

[iron lantern]

No... u dont not need more than 2tb

[silent mason]

I've got a 4TB HDD in my PC, alongside 2.5TB worth of PCIe Gen 4 SSD storage

Might change it to an 8TB HDD and put the 4TB in the secondary PC...

[iron lantern]

whats the point in getting so much storage

[jovial tide]

call of duty

of course

[fervent granite]

meanwhile I only have an internal 256 gb nvme and an external 1 tb drive

[lost fossil]

torrents

[jovial tide]

what is github and how is it related to gta online can someone please explain (i've seen this chinese kid do crazy stuff with github)

[kindred temple]

Im sorry, i had to.

Anyway:
Github is just a developer site where someone can dump their program's source code and its compiled apps.

Its not "GtA hAx!11!1!!111!"

[silent mason]

So, TCA Quadrant add-on was in stock on a UK retailer for all of 3 minutes before being sold out and immediately scalped for double price

[lost fossil]

the past 9 months have been a rough time thanks to all the cringe ass opportunists

[silent mason]

So guess who's waiting 5 years before being able to get a full TCA system

The other TCA stuff seems to have had stock stabilise already

Although probably gonna get a yoke system first...

(Don't wanna be locked to only Airbus style craft that use sidestick and throttle in MFS2020, as most, as in like 95%, use yoke)

[jovial tide]

I personally prefer multiple HDDs instead of one giant storage

Windows 10 is really amazing me with all it's shady stuff it does, Im wondering where all these massive SSD writes are originating

I wish I was not a gamer, I'd never touch this os.

[kindred temple]

ET phoning home

But even ameliorated, windows 10 still thrash on HDD.

Probably NT kernel showing its age.

[jovial tide]

I've already disabled all the nonsense stuff, but still, when checking with processhacker ,it shows a dozen of svchost.exe constantly writing on the disk

I thought maybe its the Event logger service, but if its disabled ,it takes down multiple other services with it

It's really sad that microsoft has dominated the GPU industry,
linux has the potential of beating windows in gaming, although linux is already so far from windows in gaming, and the reason is that companies like nvidia are too lazy to develop a solid driver for linux aswell as windows, or maybe they are not willing to do so atall!

but I have to say its getting better

gaming on linux maybe be as good as windows on Desktops, but on Optimus laptops... its a disaster

[kindred temple]

Anything with an actual ground and preferably surge protection is amazing. APC by Schneider is my fave brand on surge protectors and UPS.

[celest timber]

How's the GTX 1660 Super?

[cold elbow]

Good

[kindred temple]

Better value than 1660 or the Ti counterpart.

But imho, you might as well get the 3000 series if you can find those.

[celest timber]

Keyword can
Plus I'm just only starting to transition from console to PC

[kindred temple]

But yeah

At what cost, for that 1660 Super.

[silent mason]

If you're just transitioning, you'll probably need an entire PC, in which case, a prebuilt from a system integrator may be worth it

[kindred temple]

If youre just transitioning, consult your doctor and dont do DIY transition.

[silent mason]

Make sure you personally spec up every part though, like what PC Specialist does

[kindred temple]

Depends on the budget, but imo

Unless you wanna wait Q1-2 2022

Go prebuild or SI.

[silent mason]

And for the love of all that is holy... don't do single channel RAM

(and a single stick of RAM will always run single channel, so make sure you have 2 sticks of RAM, possibly 4, although usually 2 is better)

[kindred temple]

4 is better on Zen 3.

[silent mason]

Oh, it is?

I've got 4 sticks of 16GB RAM, for a total of 64GB. Zen 3 (5900X)

[kindred temple]

https://youtu.be/-UkGu6A-6sQ

2 stick of dual ranks should be better route especially if you only have 2 ram slots.

But 4 stick of SR pretty much does the same effect.

[silent mason]

Ah, I believe my sticks are dual channel

[kindred temple]

Memory ranks ≠ Memory channels.

hello guys, can i set the file not readable, deletable and editable even by root in ansible?
i used attr: i but root still can read the file
anyone willing to help?

[fervent granite]

afaik by definition the root user has access to every file on its system, so I don't think that would be possible

[rustic cape]

What do you guys think of this?

[vapid grove]

Why an external drive?

[rustic cape]

Incase of any emergency I'll have my "important stuff" with me

[fervent granite]

you could probably find one for cheaper

[rustic cape]

I probably could but it's a good brand

[fervent granite]

Good brand, but it's just a 5 tb wd black hard disk in a fancy enclosure

which would be no different from these which are cheaper

[rustic cape]

If you could find me one that's cheaper and good then yeah sure

microsoft

[hearty stirrup]

Ordered this any idea if its good

[kindred temple]

ordered it
Maybe try to not ask AFTER you buy?

From how it look it looks like another of those low end knockoff xbox controller.

So either unusable, or mediocre.

[cold elbow]

I like this

[kindred temple]

Asking purchase advice after purchase means youre just seeking confirmation.

[hearty stirrup]

It was literally the only brand i recognized rest were all random brands

And Microsoft only lists the latest xbox one wireless controllers on their own website and amazon which are mad expensive

[tall dome]

I mean I did this with RTX 3080 TUF

ordered it first, saw a review later

[kindred temple]

Well asus makes quality product 99.99% of the time and 3080 is pretty much gonna be an upgrade above 2000 series.

[silent mason]

All I hear are provoems with Asus products (but I went all Asus because I've had no problems with them)

Problems rather.

[cold elbow]

If u have a lot of money asus is good

[silent mason]

£400 Asus motherboard, £1000 Asus RTX 3070...

[cold elbow]

My board was like 80 bucks

[silent mason]

ROG Crosshair motherboard, from Asus.

[blazing sundial]

what are modchips?

nice
what specs u got

[silent mason]

what specs has who got?

[zealous pasture]

uh

a guy named ducky posted a pic of the word "laggy"

[silent mason]

well, it's just both me and Melon were discussing motherboards, so not sure who Rogue meant

[blazing sundial]

a person uploaded a picture with Laggy text
so i was curious about their their pc specs

[cold elbow]

what does that actually offers to cost that much?

[silent mason]

for me, it's all the USB ports on the motherboard itself (had terrible luck with USB expansions, be they internal or external). It also has the X570 chipset with 2 PCIe Gen 4 m.2 drives, a small display with 2 numbers to help with troubleshooting if POST fails, etc

I got it for the USB ports personally, though the little display has helped when trying to figure out why my PC wouldn't boot when connecting new things up

[cold elbow]

cant u get all these on a cheaper board

[silent mason]

Not necessarily

[cold elbow]

i mean does it offer 2.5gigs

or a lot of m.2s

[silent mason]

The motherboard has built in WiFi, and it has 2 ethernet ports (2.5GBe and GBe)

I went for an SI prebuilt, so this was the only board they offered that had enough USB ports

These were the boards they offer, and I'm a bit averse to Gigabyte due to past experiences

Not to mention the 2 Gigabyte ones have half the USB ports of the Crosshair

(well, one has 6, one has 8, still quite a bit short of the Crosshair's 12)

[cold elbow]

i mean if u really that into USB ports u can buy pcie cards for it

i think even thunderbolt

[silent mason]

Mentioned earlier, had nothing but bad experiences with various brands of both internal and external USB hubs

[cold elbow]

lemme see how many my board have

[silent mason]

So yeah, they had to be on the motherboard as a result

[cold elbow]

12 i i think

and 2 m.2s

[kindred temple]

Honestly asus B550-F is the max of what anyone needs

Unless you need thunderbolt

And or obscene amount of USB and m.2 port

[cold elbow]

isnt the mortar is a better b550?

and cheap

[kindred temple]

Debatable

[silent mason]

I'm using like 10 USB ports now XD

[kindred temple]

I prefer A-PRO from MSI B550 lineups

[silent mason]

and that's not even got everything connected

[cold elbow]

why u need that much

[silent mason]

I have a LOT of USB devices

Including two audio interfaces, a HDMI switcher that uses USB, a touch screen monitor, etc

[cold elbow]

so u want a lot of rear IO ports or u use the internals as well

[silent mason]

Internals are in use already, connected to front ports

[cold elbow]

sometimes they use one port for a USB 2 header

and that header can hold 2 ports

[silent mason]

4 ports

[cold elbow]

i mean on the board each one can be separated into two ports

[silent mason]

Yeah, they're already in use

Had to buy a 4 port internal USB2.0 header extension because my Lian Li Unifan hub and my Razer Chroma Addressable RGB controllers require them

I only have 2 usb 2 headers on my motherboard... one is being used by the front USB ports on my case (alongside a USB3 header, so 2 USB3 ports, 2 USB2 ports, even though all the ports are 3.0 capable), the other is currently being used by my Unifan hub

[cold elbow]

there's a cool NZXT internal USB splitter

[silent mason]

Yeah, I bought that for that very reason

[cold elbow]

https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71TpWBeQhpL._AC_SL1500_.jpg this ?

[silent mason]

nah, newer one that uses SATA

[cold elbow]

ohhhhhhhhhhh

that's a very good idea

[silent mason]

Also, remember I already have the Crosshair board 😛

And the only expansion type I haven't tried yet are ones that connect direct to the motherboard header

[blazing sundial]

lol why do u even need so many usb ports

maxiumum 4 are enough

[silent mason]

I'm using 10 ports on the back right now

[blazing sundial]

why?

[silent mason]

Audio interface, mixer, HDMi switch (functions as a webcam too), keyboard (uses 2), mouse, mousemat, etc

[jovial tide]

some people do really need many ports

[blazing sundial]

u really need a mixer?

[silent mason]

Yep

Content creation stuff

[blazing sundial]

doesnt any audio software help with that

like audacity

[silent mason]

I've had better luck with hardware

[jovial tide]

dont ever compare hardware to software

specially audio

[silent mason]

heck, my streaming isn't done with software either, I have specialised hardware for that too

[blazing sundial]

i havent seen many audio engineers having any external mixer for balancing audio and stuff

[silent mason]

For live mixing, I see it all the time

And also, XLR is always used, which requires an interface or mixer

[blazing sundial]

i would get a second screen for that

[silent mason]

Sure, you can. I'll stick to my actual hardware for it, which has been way more reliable for me than software.

Within a given time period that I'd get say 1'000 problems using software, my hardware might give me 1. That's how night and day a difference it has been for me. So yes, I'll stick to using hardware as a result.

[blazing sundial]

maybe, yes

how do you stream btw

[silent mason]

ATEM Mini Pro ISO, with audio managed using the GoXLR

[blazing sundial]

oh

thats a lot of investment

[silent mason]

Also means no using webcams either, has to be proper cameras/camcorders, which cost more than a webcam

And I'm looking to upgrade my camera setup, to using £1'000 cameras (and that's just for the body, no lens)

[blazing sundial]

is that even needed

[silent mason]

Blackmagic cameras, will have really tight knit integration with the ATEM

[blazing sundial]

u seem to be rich

[silent mason]

with the ATEM Mini Extreme/Extreme ISO (which I will be looking to get to upgrade from my Pro ISO), there's buttons to control things like exposure, white balance, etc, for each camera, direct from the switcher. We're talking insane levels of control.

but that's more of a down the line upgrade

[blazing sundial]

lol cmon

whos gonna check so much details

[silent mason]

That's the way I work, I do check all those details

[blazing sundial]

i can barely imagine buying a dslr of worth 500$

[cold elbow]

@blazing sundial that's how actual streamers work

[silent mason]

Like the Blackmagic setup I'm going for, I decided was the best approach after hundreds of hours of research

[cold elbow]

@silent mason ever considered a second system to handle your stream?

[silent mason]

Yeah, I've got a second system planned. Not for handling my stream, but for handling my overlays etc

[cold elbow]

It can also handle audio and shit

[silent mason]

It'll do other things like being a test bench for game development, for acting as a secondary node for Fusion/Resolve

[blazing sundial]

can u share your channel
might just drop some likes

[silent mason]

Pro ISO can also handle audio and stuff too. The "ISO" moniker means every input is recorded separately, when doing video stuff

[cold elbow]

Because I've seen some people facing for example game crash that destroys the stream

[silent mason]

My ATEM acts as the secondary system for streaming

[cold elbow]

Ah good

[silent mason]

So should my game crash, or my PC bluescreen, the stream keeps trucking along (it's actually happened!)

Bluescreened during a stream with my ATEM. I was just able to laugh it off

[blazing sundial]

what cpu u got?

[silent mason]

The CPU in the system that happened with, 3770K. New system, 5900X

[cold elbow]

Streaming equipment is another rabbit hole because it gathers everything from good gaming/editing hardware then optics/audio hardware

[silent mason]

But I've used OBS, I've used XSplit, I've tried SLOBS. My old PC supposedly was good enough for streaming, I had nothing but trouble. That's why I switched over to the ATEM for streaming. Because I was tired of constant software problems no matter what streaming software I used.

[cold elbow]

Not to mention software

[silent mason]

My ATEM for streaming, has been reliable as fuck, no problems whatsoever

[kindred temple]

What ATEM?

[blazing sundial]

ig u should get a better multi threaded processor

[silent mason]

I was using NVENC to encode (GTX 760 in that system), specifically to deal with that

Again, my PC was repeatedly told as being good enough to stream, yet I consistently had problems. I moved to ATEM, no more problems.

[cold elbow]

Dont think nvenc on that gpu was any good

[silent mason]

We're talking complete system lockouts from streaming, etc

[cold elbow]

Yeah considering even with nvenc it will still use some of your cpu

[silent mason]

But I was told time and again "The 3770K is good enough, if it's doing that, something's wrong"

So I said "Sod that, I'm not using software to encode anymore", bought that ATEM switcher (so hardware encoder), and no problems ever since. I will not move back to using software encoding

[cold elbow]

It's good until u start slapping overlays

[silent mason]

Even with no overlays it was doing it

Literally just the game feed and the camera was enough to cause it to choke, despite being told it was capable of handling so much more.

Even encoding at 540p resolution (yes, I actually tried that!)

[cold elbow]

Haha

Was it overclocked

[silent mason]

So yeah, no matter how much better value for money using software like OBS to stream is, I'm not dealing with it anymore. I found a setup that works for me so I'm sticking with it.

[cold elbow]

And u probably been playing games as well?

[blazing sundial]

ur cpu has a lot of pressure on it

ig

[silent mason]

It happened even when I was doing console games Melon

So just using a capture card to record/stream the Switch

[cold elbow]

That's odd

[jovial tide]

my evga date keeps on being extended

[blazing sundial]

evga date?

[cold elbow]

My friend used to play gta and stream with a gtx760 and 3770k on 4.5ghz

[silent mason]

So yeah, I tired of it, moved to ATEM, and not had any problems since (well, I had one, which was a PEBCAK. Couldn't use it as a webcam, because I forgot to plug it in lol)

[cold elbow]

I'm glad ATEM fixed it for u

[silent mason]

Yeah, but things like GoXLR and ATEM are why I need so many USB ports

[jovial tide]

for evga queue

if you entered in theres a fan made site to track your time

[silent mason]

It's a setup that handles everything I need, but at the cost of a LOT of USB ports.

[blazing sundial]

for what

[silent mason]

GPUs

Since EVGA are a GPU manufacturer

[blazing sundial]

so what time do they track?

[silent mason]

It's to give an estimate of when you can expect your turn in the queue to come up to buy the GPU

But it's worth mentioning it's only an estimate

[blazing sundial]

oh i see

only evga

[silent mason]

Yeah, only EVGA do it

[blazing sundial]

[silent mason]

Other GPU manufacturers just leave you to fend for yourself

Asus Strix 30 series cards don't look that great tbh

[cold elbow]

Asus 10 series strix looked great

FTW only good point is the fact that it is choked with censor in the first few lineup of icx redesign

[jovial tide]

i liked 2080ti strix

[kindred temple]

But i think it trickles to every EVGA lineup now.

[jovial tide]

over 3080 strix

[silent mason]

oh yeah, I had a Strix 1080... dang that was a nice looking card

[jovial tide]

a lot more classy and less flashy

[cold elbow]

I had the strix 1060

linked it already lol

[kindred temple]

[silent mason]

I went from a GTX 760 to it... trust me, I needed the upgrade

the entire system needed an upgrade

[blazing sundial]

well i put all my money into 1050ti

[silent mason]

Yeah I put mine into a prebuilt

[kindred temple]

I really want more of these factory painted design imo

Even for limited run of like 10-20k

[silent mason]

Since that was the only way I was getting a new PC without paying scalpers

[kindred temple]

Its fun when the artist for the box can actually ya know... Artistically be free.

[kindred temple]

You laugh but id love to make pickle rick mini ITX PC

[silent mason]

I'm looking forward to August

I can start building the 2nd PC then

[tall dome]

@cold elbow so I found someone on reddit who has the same AiO and Case

I wanna know how he got those custom sleeves

[kindred temple]

CableMod

[cold elbow]

cablemod

[cold elbow]

or some Chinese cables

[kindred temple]

https://cablemod.com/product-category/aio-sleeving-kits/

[cold elbow]

i dont like that he kept the hard drive cages

[tall dome]

I kept them as well

[kindred temple]

But then stuff will clank in the box and thats baddddd

[tall dome]

unless I get water cooling, i don't see a reason to remove it

and then I saw these cables

[cold elbow]

just giving u more space

[tall dome]

how can you get custom NZXT aio cables....

[cold elbow]

he sleeved them?

[tall dome]

Like with gas pistol?

[cold elbow]

what?

no u just wrap it

i guess

and these things can be heated to look like that

[tall dome]

no, I mean this

[cold elbow]

yeah

[tall dome]

yeah you heat it with a gas pistol

[cold elbow]

u probably dont need custom cables cus they cost a lot

[tall dome]

ye

[blazing sundial]

What are the ssds held by?

[tall dome]

I did order some extentions

[cold elbow]

they come with brackets

[tall dome]

I think those fractual brackets

[cold elbow]

yes

these

[kindred temple]

Fractal new logo

Oh shoot

[blazing sundial]

I have a corsair spec 01
It has barely enough space to put wires

[kindred temple]

I forgot i have this

Oh nooooooo

[cold elbow]

i have a shit case

but it works

[blazing sundial]

Never seen these

[cold elbow]

[blazing sundial]

Isn't this fine?

[cold elbow]

no space to mount aio on the top

[blazing sundial]

Looks decent

[cold elbow]

and front intake sucks

[blazing sundial]

That's what it is for

[cold elbow]

https://www.technopat.net/sosyal/eklenti/kasa-jpg.835828/ look at all this intake

[blazing sundial]

Lol

Design>compatibility and cooling

[cold elbow]

so i have that panel opened from the bottom to let more air in

[silent mason]

I have an overkill case xD

[cold elbow]

all i want is an old tower case

with rubber hard drives mounts

cant find these nowadays

[silent mason]

think I got enough rad options? XD

[kindred temple]

Whats this, metallic gear?

[blazing sundial]

Meanwhile my case

[silent mason]

what, my case?

[vapid grove]

[cold elbow]

i dont like 120 AIOs

they're waste

[wary rapids]

Hi Guys, little off topic can someone help me with my query : I play games on my xbox series x with tv as my display. I am looking for an headset which will give me good sound like music played on spotify while I game as well I should be able to talk to my friends on the mic, any suggestions here ? Thanks in advance.

[kindred temple]

That case ya linked on the pic

[jovial tide]

Is it just me or is that a huge scam

$1.8k for a 1030

At that price it should be wrapped in gold foil

[cold elbow]

But it's easier to buy gold than a gpu

[jovial tide]

fkin crypto man

[fervent granite]

gold foil isn't actually that expensive tbh

[jovial tide]

And the price of it barely depreciates, whereas GPU prices are like Bitcoin

[jovial tide]

what’s the best prebuilt pc rn for 1000$

[light totem]

NZXT ones i suppose

[silent mason]

ah, that's the case I have. the Phanteks Enthoo 719.

[blazing sundial]

Is obs good enough for streaming on YouTube

Im facing problems with the audio as I only want the specific window's audio and not the desktop audio

[brave field]

OBS is the standard for streaming to Youtube

You might want to set up an audio input in the thingie at the bottom

[blazing sundial]

I haven't seen any option of recording a specific audio

[brave field]

If you use something like VB Audio cable or the thing made by the creeps who make that banana/voicemeeter trash, you can point the window's output there

then mirror that output into a virtual input with the same program, and enable listening through Windows/pulseaudio

OBS will pick up the VB audio device but not the audio from listening to a recording device

[blazing sundial]

I just want to stream my game's audio and video

Idk wth is vb and stuff

[brave field]

The easiest way is to turn down whatever other apps are making noise in your OS mixer

[blazing sundial]

I didn't know my os has a mixer

[loud lodge]

os mixer...

[wintry chasm]

anyone know best way to activate windows 10 pro

for cheap or free

[vapid grove]

Buy a key for $5

[fervent granite]

Or activate it using a readily available activation script

If you’re going to buy a key then at least buy a legitimate key from ms directly and not from some guy on eBay

[cold elbow]

Why u even need to activate

[tall dome]

@cold elbow I just found in my bag of PCI-E cables that i only have splitters

the 8 pin to psu that splits to 16

[cold elbow]

i dont understand @tall dome

[tall dome]

I can only do this for my gpu

[cold elbow]

im doing this

[tall dome]

really?

[cold elbow]

yeah

[tall dome]

and no issues?

[cold elbow]

mine is 8+6 pins

yeah no issues

these cables can handle a lot

btw my card consumes 180W max

[tall dome]

yeah but 3080 consumes about 350W right

[cold elbow]

your card might comes with 3 connectors

[tall dome]

no, 2

only EVGA has 3

as far as I know

[cold elbow]

pcie specs says 150W but these 8 pins connectors can handle WAAAAY more

like a single 8 pin can carry 350W alone

the problem is not the cables that cant handle the current, it's the connectors themselves and since you're using 2x8 then you will be fine

and they say that the 3080 needs 320W and that's peak

btw what's your PSU?

[tall dome]

860W ion fractual design

it's platinum btw

[cold elbow]

modular

[tall dome]

yes

[cold elbow]

it should come with two cables

like mine

because u might wanna use two cards

[tall dome]

came with 3 8 pin to 16 pin

[cold elbow]

what

that's a cable for gpu

[tall dome]

yeah, did you mean CPU?

[cold elbow]

no

on the site it says that u dont have splitters

[tall dome]

well that's dumb

[cold elbow]

u should have two of this

[tall dome]

I know I plugged one of them on the motherboard

lemme look a bit

[cold elbow]

that's the EPS

[tall dome]

guess imma close my PC and have a look

[cold elbow]

these all what u get

u can use the 4+4

but some boards comes with 3x4 for CPU so they gave u 8+4+4 just incase

u should have have 2 of the 6+2

[tall dome]

@cold elbow

I think I found the culprit

wasn't plugged in at all

[cold elbow]

so u plugged the 4+4 into the motherboard?

[tall dome]

pretty sure yeah

[cold elbow]

i dont think it makes any difference

visually i mean

[tall dome]

I could just use this for the GPU I guess

[cold elbow]

dont think u can

[tall dome]

it's already plugged on thr modular side

oh

[cold elbow]

u should have two cables for the GPU which are 6+2

maybe it's plugged now as well and u dont know

[tall dome]

fucking hell, the mess inside the psu shroud makes me wanna unplug everything

[cold elbow]

this is what u should do one day

like having one sata power cable plugged instead of all

[tall dome]

honestly I kinda wanna do it before the 3080 arrives

[cold elbow]

when i start building i usually lay down the complements and what power cables required for that
why buying a modular psu if u gonna plug them all

[tall dome]

fuck it imma remove the Led strips

the whole damn thing is what makes the back look so awful

[cold elbow]

u should work at that on the final step

[tall dome]

well at least I know I have an extra PCIE single cable

[tall dome]

I almost wanna get extensions because of that PCIE for GPU

@cold elbow

[cold elbow]

Your new gpu will use both connectors and that would probably look better

About your AIO cabled u can push the cables on the right to the right more.. away from the VRMs and stuck them more towards the board

Same goes for the cable on the left, push it to the left and hide it below the vrm

And try to hide this somewhere

[tall dome]

I could rotate it again

to the top where there is a peephole

[cold elbow]

Can't u route it under the psu shroud?

[tall dome]

there is no entrance there (It's very dumb)

actually nvm

I am blind

[cold elbow]

I hate the usb 3 connector

[tall dome]

thicc boy

I hate it too

[thorn widget]

i got a intel fans like E97379, will it easily to break if i try to pull it out

since i want to do self cleaning

[jovial tide]

send a pic if you can

[thorn widget]

this?

[cold elbow]

So annoying

Just be gentle with the fan tabs, use some soft tool

Should be ok

[jovial tide]

first, rotate all the screws counterclockwise , then slightly pull them up (very gently ,do not break the pins)

[cold elbow]

I used to push the pins from the other side after rotating them

Like from the back of the board

[jovial tide]

thats a good practice if you have access to the back

installing it is abit tricky tho

that's when most pins break if you are not careful

[cold elbow]

Never had problems with that

Maybe because my hand is small

[jovial tide]

when you're done with cleaning , to install it back, you have to rotate all the screws clockwise to the end, then try to push down 2 pins at same time in X pattern

[vapid grove]

I dealt with that same mess. Luckily my case has a cutout running the whole width of those connections so I ended up getting some 90° adapters that let me run the cable straight downward.

[tall dome]

there I hided the fan cables away from the VRM (The AIO is still very close)

[thorn widget]

ohh right

[tall dome]

as well as JUST made it with fans in front

it was kinda tight

bruh my fuse went off

scary

[jovial tide]

damn your house breaker triggered?

[tall dome]

actually it is self explain able

10Amp

ok imma need to upgrade that

actually wait

2300W is alot

how in the hell does a PC kill off the whole fuse

[jovial tide]

you may have shorted something

[thorn widget]

also, gta v map loading/rendering depend on cpu or gpu?

i might get a new processor since mine was very old (i3 gen3)

[jovial tide]

what you mean by 'map loading'?

game overall loading time?

[thorn widget]

like when you driving some part of the map that building and road that didnt load yet

[jovial tide]

cpu can cause that, but before that, your HDD may be another bottleneck causing that

[thorn widget]

i have SSD

[jovial tide]

oh

how much ram you got?

[thorn widget]

but it was ATA not SATA

12gb

[jovial tide]

?! ata ssd?

[thorn widget]

yes

[jovial tide]

What game u playing with that cpu usage

ct960bx500ssd1 has SATA interface

not ATA

whats you motherboard model?

[thorn widget]

gta v

[jovial tide]

But no GPU usage?

Or is it cause ur tabbed out?

[jovial tide]

did you take that picture while playing gta?
I think thats the problem cuz ur GPU is Idle!

is it always like that?

[thorn widget]

yes

i tab out during taking screenshot

h61m-ds2 ofr motherboar

[jovial tide]

whats your gpu?

[thorn widget]

1050ti

[jovial tide]

do you know where gta's settings.xml file is?

[thorn widget]

dunno

[jovial tide]

documents/Rockstar games/GTAV

open it using notepad

go to the end of the file

see what gpu is listed there

[thorn widget]

same

</video>
<VideoCardDescription>NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti</VideoCardDescription>
</Settings>

[jovial tide]

hmmm, no issues, here.

perhaps, it's your cpu

causing that loading issue

your ram, ssd, gpu ,all good

core i3 you said? which generation?

[thorn widget]

gen 2

[jovial tide]

hmm, I think that's the culprit here.

poor dual core

i think you need a new cpu xd

[thorn widget]

xd

[jovial tide]

i guess the temp is over 90 all the time

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/intel-core-i5-11400-11th-generation-6-core-12-thread-2-6-to-4-4-ghz-lga1200-locked-desktop-processor/6452218.p?skuId=6452218 based budget cpu

[kindred temple]

Intel bad

Ryzen good

[jovial tide]

unironically the 11400 is based as fuck

[kindred temple]

Actually i see 5600x and B550 combo being in 11400 price range sometimes

So rarely

You can get a better CPU

[jovial tide]

Wdym

[cold elbow]

Heck u do

[tall dome]

dunno

[jovial tide]

11400+motherboard costs about as much as 5600x standalonr

[tall dome]

I think powering up the PC jump starts the Wattage

[cold elbow]

Double check your cables

U might have something loose

[jovial tide]

11400 based department

[tall dome]

ok I found out, I did all that while someone plugged a vacuum cleaner

they're getting scolded, brb

[kindred temple]

No i mean for the equivalent 11400+B560 combo

I am dumb

Im a dumb whore

[cold elbow]

Lol

[kindred temple]

But yeah

[tall dome]

ok now that's done

[kindred temple]

Sometimes i find 11400 for 60$ cheaper

Sometimes 5600 for 20$ cheaper

[tall dome]

imma go back to #archive_contest-discussion to help some people

[kindred temple]

Its trailin

[tall dome]

actually before that

[cold elbow]

5600G ftw

[jovial tide]

😱

[tall dome]

maybe someone here is better than me at upscaling images?

what do you use?

[silent mason]

That and the 5700G are what I'm looking at.

[cold elbow]

I use pics art

@silent mason yeah cus they good value now and they hold their value for a resale or using it for another purpose like a home server

[silent mason]

Or in my case a secondary rig to act as a chain link for my main rig.

[tulip plaza]

is it true that routers can't handle speeds above what I pay for? I pay for 50mbps but I'm getting speeds up to 90mbps, but it fluctuated for 3 days straight and I was told that it can't handle speeds above 60mbps, is it true?

[cold elbow]

Most routers run gigabit on LAN already which is 10000mbps

So it's better to check you router's manual

[tulip plaza]

Thanks

The speeds I got btw on speed test wireless was 52mbps, but on the router admin it said 61mbps

[thorn widget]

is this normal rn?

[jovial tide]

what

[kindred temple]

[strong saffron]

Why is it (commonly) recommended to get a VPS and host your own VPN instead of using an existing VPN provider? The arguments against VPN providers are that they can log/mess with your traffic and that you aren't exactly protected because the provider has access to your IP; but all of this is true for VPS providers too right?

[jovial tide]

playing gta while watching youtube in browser is definitely not normal for that poor cpu of yours

[jovial tide]

vps providers can access your logs and activity, If and only if they have to, in comparison to a vpn provider which your log/activity is under their magnifying glass all the time along with logs of thousands of other people at the same time. so it is actually correct that hosting your own vpn may be a better solution. almost all of those vpn providers say they delete your logs and dont keep anything, but thats bullshit. basically in todays internet world, using a vpn doesn't make you invisible or anonymous on the internet anymore, it just changes your IP/geolocation data. if you really seek anonymity on the internet you should use tor, which, has it's own prices to pay when you use it.

[jovial tide]

it is even worse in case of free vpns, there was a brilliant statement I saw someone mentioned, that when you use such free services/products, you are not using the product, you ARE the product.

[cold elbow]

They cant really log anything from your vps' vpn
It's like going towards 3 roads

What also u can use and very recommend is switched to another DNS

[strong saffron]

So it's basically the same but VPSs are less likely to log you?

[strong saffron]

The VPS itself can log before it connects to their VPN no?

[jovial tide]

Im just talking about the log safety aspects, but serving ur own vpn has other advantages as well

but if someone thinks they are anonymous on the web and start doing shady stuff just because they are serving their own vpn, they are wrong.

that's why all the illegal stuff is happening inside tor network

[brave field]

VPNs are such scams now

[rustic cape]

Why is that?

[brave field]

Not sure why its happened only in the past 2 years but every company seems to host their own and they advertise them super heavily and market them as something that makes you "instantly 100% secure" while their privacy policy states they log everything, and then they want to require you to sign up with your legal name, address, phone number, payment info, etc.

They also never give helpful info on disabling other ways to be tracked, like WebRTC or people using browsers that leak everything anyways like vanilla chrome

Its almost as if you can really only trust ProtonVPN

[rustic cape]

How much is proton?

[brave field]

They have a relatively slow free tier, then a 4€ a month and 8€ per month tier that offers TOR and torrenting support

All their clients are open-source and ad-free, another thing that's annoying with the big name providers

[rustic cape]

What VPN's do you recommend?

[brave field]

Its ridiculous that some companies like HMA or Norton or PIA want to sell people "security" while also relying on Google advertising IDs and selling "telemetry data" which wouldn't be profitable if it didn't contain personally identifiable info

Really only Proton or Mullvad, and they don't actually make you anonymous

But those two at least are based in relatively-free countries when it comes to internet privacy and ISPs snooping around, have completely open-source clients, and have had actual security audits

[rustic cape]

What are your thoughts on other VPN's like surfshark and Norton

[brave field]

Surfshark has heavy advertising but it seems many of their users don't actually use their paid tiers, which is a bit suspicious. Closed source clients... why are they closed source? Cure53 has done a security audit on their browser extensions though.

One thing about their privacy policy also; They say they use your data with marketing service providers and then immediately turn around and say they don't. Nice and consistent. /s

Norton, I'd never trust because they're Norton

[jovial tide]

exactly,
what Imma say is abit off-topic to the vpn subject, but
why would anyone trust all these flamboyant and ostentatious security tools and antivirus softwares? why should I hand full control of my system to a closed source software which then acts as an overlord over my head and inspect every damn thing I do!

Im talking about all the antivirus softwares btw

[brave field]

Its bad, yeah

Marketing is so good that you can now get people to buy spyware

To think AVG and Avast were once actual viable options for people who have a tendency to click every download link they find, and now they both spy on people and change OS settings without their permission

[jovial tide]

yeah that's horrible, I've heard about that too

well, Data is the 21st century's digital oil, and as you said, all these companies are digging into our systems and privacy to extract data

I personally trust none of those softwares

[brave field]

AVG should be struck down

I enabled its "silent mode" in a VM. It grabs all your browser data and imports it into its own skin of Chromium, AVG Secure Browser

"silence" must mean installing apps without your permission

[wind flicker]

Can anyone find me good pc part for £800 please idk a lot about them but I would like one?

[brave field]

You should really go for a prebuilt if there's a deal going on currently

until that, I like the idea of https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/CpYLmk + the best GPU you can get your hands on, probably a 3060/ti or something if you're diligent

[wind flicker]

Thx

What about a good website that has prebuilt because it’s a possibility my mum won’t let me build a pc coz she thing I might mess it up @brave field

[brave field]

There's no website where anyone can just say all the prebuilts they have on it are good and safe to buy, sadly

you really just have to check deal sites for heavily discounted ones and then check professional reviews for that specific model

[wind flicker]

Ok tysm

[prime anvil]

[jovial tide]

#memes-and-shitposting

[fervent granite]

Why the hell are search results so big?

[nocturne berry]

looks fine to me

[brave field]

That looks like the frontpage previews but in the search results, weird

that is huge

[nocturne berry]

huh

[fervent granite]

This looks so much better though

[brave field]

You're supposed to be able to see 6-8 videos

yeah

[nocturne berry]

mine looks like that too is that not normal

[brave field]

I think its part of the redesign

where they remove video quality options also

[fervent granite]

Yeah I think I might go back to 15.02

I can get used to the comments being at the top, but I just hate that I can’t see more content

[vapid grove]

Worst change.

[fervent granite]

Yep, 15.02 is the sweet spot

[vapid grove]

Extra clicks for commonly used features 🚮

[nocturne berry]

oh wait that does look alot more familiar how did i not rrealise

[fervent granite]

If it weren’t for cercube/bluebear then I’d probably go mad using stock YouTube

[vapid grove]

https://youtu.be/b2vrvQydVIw

Tech Jesus finally found a "good" prebuilt

[kindred temple]

Thats a low bar

[silent mason]

I'm very happy with my prebuilt. Then again, the prebuilt manufacturer had me choose every spec of it, from what they had available.

and it was mostly Asus and Corsair stuff they offered, with some Gigabyte motherboard options sprinkled in, and an option to get whatever GPU of that spec (e.g. RTX 3070) they can get their hands on. Plus the option to send your own case in. So is that the same as buying a prebuilt?

[wind flicker]

So I have Windows 10 on my laptop is there a way I can put that same windows 10 on a usb to install it on a new account/laptop

[jovial tide]

you're gonna have to download a windows 10 ISO from microsoft

[zealous pasture]

how do i copy text from a site that doesnt let me

[silent mason]

You could try taking a screenshot and using OCR to convert image to text that can be copied

[wind flicker]

Ok thx

[jovial tide]

https://thehackernews.com/2021/06/noxplayer-supply-chain-attack-is-likely.html

[kindred temple]

[vapid grove]

No

[cold elbow]

yes if you dont know what you're doing

[strong saffron]

Would the integrated GPU in a Ryzen 5 3400G perform better than a GeForce 940M?

[jovial tide]

windows 10 moment

[cold elbow]

Sometimes u click on things and they automatically download stuff that runs in background
Other thing that might slow it down is dust

[jovial tide]

SSD or HDD?

[jovial tide]

I dont think dust affects performance, maybe only cause overheating

in some severe cases the dust may cause shorts between SMD component's leads

[cold elbow]

what i meant is dust getting into the heatsink

[brave field]

Huh, an attack on NoxPlayer

Another Android emulator down, now the only thing that's really somewhat safe to use is Android Studio

[jovial tide]

which takes a lil effort to work with actually, specially importing/exporting of files, its not simplified like nox or other emus.

I was working with that in 2019, dont know about new versions today though

[brave field]

Its sad there are no safe to use and consumer friendly Android emulators

maybe something new will be out soon

[jovial tide]

I think Genymotion can be trusted in this realm, used it alot on linux back then, no issues

alas its not completely free

but has free plans

[brave field]

Genymotion has DRM and licensing, yeah

Their DRM solution is a wee bit invasive

Though, I suppose its at least better than MalwareStacks and BigSpywareNox

and the disaster Andyroid was

[jovial tide]

damn right 💯
oh boy bluestacks is a disaster indeed

I mean if you see the bigger picture, the android os itself is a big data miner 'by default', so...

[brave field]

eh, not hugely

AOSP/Android without forced GAPPS is fine, and you can usually tweak Androis installs with GAPPS a decent amount

Its only really bad on the phones where manus act like Google or their own services are a requirement and only allow you to stop or disable using ADB. I'd take it over how Apple handles things, but neither is ideal

[jovial tide]

yeah I actually meant the phones, the os itself is semi-opensource, so theres not much to worry about but still, this is 'google' we are talking about

[brave field]

I wish we had an actual viable option besides Google and Apple

[strong saffron]

Wasn't there something called Libre some time back? idk what happened to it

[jovial tide]

there are linux based phones out there, bad sadly i dont have access to them here

[brave field]

Google still is locking down Android and Apple is going to continue being Apple for a long time

Those more stripped down Linux phones sound nice but app compatibility...

[strong saffron]

nvm this is what I meant. It's called PureOS https://puri.sm/

[jovial tide]

yeah..

it'd be nice to see manufacturers like system-76 also make a viable linux based phone

[brave field]

PureOS looks nice 👀

Now then, how is the app development process?

[strong saffron]

Their phone is super expensive for its specs though

tbh that's to be expected if they're not making money off other 'services'

[brave field]

If it starts with "desktop pyqt project with altered aspect," count me out

$800, yeah, ow

A used one might be interesting

[cyan mica]

Do yall think my pc would be able to run gta very well with this?

[nocturne berry]

no

[brave field]

GTA cares much, much more about your CPU

[jovial tide]

No I actually have a graphics card recommended for gta. I’m willing to trade you for it at no additional cost to you

[cyan mica]

I know that lol

I sent the question as a joke

[brave field]

I have the dumb

my b, friend

[nova steppe]

can afford that gpu but not a manicure

[jovial tide]

He obviously stole it

can anyone help me on games like rust and warzone and rarely on gta i get lagspikes every 5-10secs which makes it impossible to play

i got a i5-7400 CPU a 1050 TI 8gb ram

[brave field]

Warzone makes sense, Rust shouldn't struggle like that though. Maybe there's some throttling? Monitor your temps with HWiNFO

[sweet compass]

warzone runs normall sometimes

but sometimes i just go in warzone

and it takes around 5minutes to load in a game and by the time ive loaded in im fucking dead

maybe i need more ram or smth

so it runs faster

i dont really know a lot about computer things

but people have told me i need more ram

[brave field]

More ram can help

I'd look into everything to narrow down what it may be before putting any money in though

run sensors-only in HWiNFO, play your game for a bit, if its stuttering, let it be for a while, tab back into hwinfo and see if CPU/GPU temps are 80C or above

worth checking task manager too, in case something is being annoying in the background

[sweet compass]

each time i alt tab out of the game my warzone crashes

and i alt tab and it takes like 1-2 minutes until i can actually do somethign

[brave field]

Are you using fullscreen?

[sweet compass]

yeh

[brave field]

Try borderless

[sweet compass]

ok

[brave field]

Exclusive fullscreen causes those sorts of problems very frequently

[sweet compass]

also i accidently started the hwinfo without the sensors only

how do i change it

[brave field]

close it, repoen it

[sweet compass]

ok so where exactly

do i look for the thing i need

[brave field]

all the ones with the thermometer on the left

you might want to click the arrow button at the bottom right to split it into two or three pages isntead of one long one

[sweet compass]

oki made it in 3 rows

so everything that has celcius to it?

celcious or however you type it

[brave field]

yes

[sweet compass]

ight

well ima go play warzone for a bit and ill tell later how it is

this explains Q4 of 2020 to 2021 rn

[sweet compass]

it was on 70degrees

twice in the past 30 minutes

[iron lantern]

imagine what 2080 ti users can sell their gpus for

[sweet compass]

are they like very good or smth lol i dont know a lot about computers n shit

[iron lantern]

its not hard to understand the basis of tech so u dont get scammed

[brave field]

70C, safe, hmm

[iron lantern]

ehhh

[brave field]

arguably very safe

[iron lantern]

depends on the context

[sweet compass]

another guy in a diff dc told me also its ram

[iron lantern]

if its being used on live cpu heavy applications, sure...

[brave field]

His CPU doesn't throttle until 95C and the GPU only begins stopping its boost at 83C

[sweet compass]

over like 10-15 people tell me its ram

[brave field]

Check your ram usage in resource monitor while you're playing

[sweet compass]

ight

[iron lantern]

usually it isnt ram issue

unless DWM is at 6gb of RAM usage

[brave field]

Winblows 10 moment

At least its not Msmpeng having the memory leak

[sweet compass]

100% cpu exactly when i opened up task manager

wtf

[iron lantern]

its like that sometimes

[sweet compass]

with it just being open in the background

[iron lantern]

whats ur cpu?

[fervent granite]

winrar is supposed to be open in the background?

[sweet compass]

i5-7400

[brave field]

winrar is supposed to not exist

94% ram usage

[iron lantern]

winrar shouldnt be in the background if not being used

[fervent granite]

7zip gang

[iron lantern]

same

[sweet compass]

i did use it like 2 mins ago tryna open then hwinfo thing in mid of my game

[iron lantern]

how many gigs of ram u have in ur system?

[sweet compass]

8

i ordered 8 more

gonna be here soon

[iron lantern]

yea

[fervent granite]

1tb ram

[iron lantern]

good call

[iron lantern]

ur dreams

[sweet compass]

lol

[iron lantern]

ur not linus sex tips

[fervent granite]

nah I've actually got 16 gb

[sweet compass]

4 sticks of 32gb

[iron lantern]

how many channels do u have?

[sweet compass]

100% cpu moment

its not even dropping lol

[iron lantern]

i usually dont like i5 processors due to them not being very economically friendly compared to spending 200 extra bucks for way better performance

if u can really muster money, hey, ryzen 5-7 are all good prices for good performance

[fervent granite]

here's what an old lapotp looked like when I tried to run gta 5 on it

[brave field]

10th gen and 7th gen are entirely different beasts

[sweet compass]

well the thing is i got this pc which was prebuilt at like 2016 when i was still 11 so i didnt understand a single thing and i was playing minecraft or whatever i was playing back then

[brave field]

AMD CPUs in new condition are almost entirely wasteful to buy right now imo

[iron lantern]

wait for their APUs?

[sweet compass]

very interestng

[iron lantern]

i mean if u need a desperate upgrade and got the money, ryzen cpus are performing better if not close to i5 and i7 cpus

[brave field]

10400F is kinda 🥵

[iron lantern]

they cool

[brave field]

3600-like performance at $140

[iron lantern]

they cool

10th gen beasts are cool

[sweet compass]

well a time ago a guy asked me what pc i had cuz i said i had a prebuilt i said i got the MSI trident 3 and he told me that some of the parts are inbuilt the case or smth

[iron lantern]

but AMD deserves some credit in both terms of market share and how in 5 years they caught up to intel

[brave field]

definitely

[fervent granite]

caught up
bit of an understatement at this point tbh

[iron lantern]

right

this is 2021

[iron lantern]

caught up dominating intel in terms of performance

[brave field]

hopefully competition ramps up hugely when the shortages are over

[iron lantern]

the shortage wont go away until miners get their shit correctly

[brave field]

GPU mining isn't affecting CPU R&D

[iron lantern]

and unless all global trade come together and crack down, its gonna be another rough couple of years, and im planning on getting a new pc next year during black friday

[sweet compass]

ok so i ordered new ram as i said should i do anything else?

[brave field]

or really any of the semiconductor problems affecting things far more important than GPUs

I want to see 5600x-like performance at $100 though

competition, please

[iron lantern]

if AMD stops expanding their streak of good cpus for a couple of years, yea, its probably likely to see 5600x performances at 100 bucks

[sweet compass]

ok my cpu is now at90% cuz there was some windows message input fucking thing open that took 22% of it

idk waht the fuck t hat was

[iron lantern]

Windows 10 moment

[sweet compass]

is windows 10 bad or smth xd

[iron lantern]

microsoft really need to get their shit together and figure out why so many applications are uselessly wasting ram/cpu/gpu

[fervent granite]

always has been
