Why tf only 128gb ram

When 2tb is possible

[cursive epoch]

this aint a mac dou

[supple walrus]

[jovial tide]

I sorta have a problem
My second hard drive isn't showing up

[cursive epoch]

ouu

[jovial tide]

I have hard drives c,e,f,g,h but no d

[cursive epoch]

we never had a server

so nah

never heard of it

[supple walrus]

Troubleshoot one: is it plugged in

[jovial tide]

Yes

I'm not opening up my case tho

[supple walrus]

Well then you can't check if it's properly plugged in

[kindred temple]

Well plug her in, and hear if she spins.

[jovial tide]

I'm supposed to have 5 hard drives plugged in my PC
Only 4 is showing

[kindred temple]

Also, check disk management and on the BIOS if it shows there.

Sometimes unformatted drives just wont show even if theyre properly powered on

Also, yes

Please check if that drive is fully plugged

[supple walrus]

@kindred temple

[jovial tide]

Where's disk management and BIOS?
I'm only learning about the internet and routers this term

[kindred temple]

You should be able to find windows disk management right on the search bar. Or use run (windows key+r) and write "diskmgmt" or sumn like that

And for BIOS menu, to open em, mash the keys to open them when youre booting.

It should be in the manual but most defaults to delete key.

Some maybe uses F12, some uses esc

But just check the darn manual.

[jovial tide]

When I type "D" it shows me my unavailable hard drives contents

[kindred temple]

I dont get what you mean

[jovial tide]

Good fucking grief

I have 5 hard drives installed right now
But only 4 is showing in windows explorer

When I type the capital letter D in the run thing, the contents of the 2nd drive (the one that's not showing) is showing up but when I click on that it takes me to the first hard drive

And most of my school projects are on the 2nd drive so I'm freaking out

[supple walrus]

Mate calm down. We're only trying to help

[jovial tide]

I am trying to calm down but most of my schoolwork is gone

[kindred temple]

Aww

[supple walrus]

Sorry, I just don't like it when ya get pissed at my girl

[kindred temple]

But yeah, really

Take a listen and see if you can hear em. Switch the SATA connectors around.

[jovial tide]

I think I opened the BIOS menu by pressing f11

[supple walrus]

You're gonna have to crack the case open

[kindred temple]

Or if you are really that not confident with PCs, send em over thru a local tech support.

Better than none.

[kindred temple]

Now, did you see all 5 drives there?

[jovial tide]

Uhmmm
I'll DM you a pic

I don't feel comfortable sending it here

[supple walrus]

Orrr just put it here

It's just bios but ok

[jovial tide]

Still don't feel comfortable sending it here

[jovial tide]

It shows now

[arctic yarrow]

If it makes you feel better, the only identifying info your bios shows is what kind of hardware you have. Worst case scenario is someone looks at your bios image and is inspired to build an identical system.

[jovial tide]

Hmm

[cold elbow]

lol

[silent mason]

I'm trying to find a way to get a StreamDeck Mk2

[jovial tide]

younger brother

[arctic yarrow]

You mean steamdeck?

[silent mason]

Nope. StreamDeck Mk2. By Elgato

[arctic yarrow]

oh gotcha

That programmable multimedia thing?

[silent mason]

Yes

[lost fossil]

to stream games that you play on your 5700g using an integrated gpu

[silent mason]

Nope. To control MixItUp on my 5700G machine. Playing games will be on my 5900X RTX 3070 machine

[cold elbow]

3070

weak

[slender trellis]

I saw some tech channels getting Steam Deck early, is it for Tech Verified YouTubers who can get your hands on that device? I watched every videos (minus Linus) but they didn't have videos of them installing Windows 10 on the Deck.

[arctic yarrow]

They didn't download windows 10 because valve was displaying both the hardware and the software.

They wanted to show that their latest iteration of steamOS can play games.

Using the compatibility layer.

[brave field]

and more importantly, the UI that will replace Big Picture 😍

[slender trellis]

Perhaps Valve is using Wine as a base to run Windows exes.

[arctic yarrow]

A variant of wine technically

Gimme a sec to look it up

It's called Proton

[brave field]

Proton is WiNE + DXVK and a load of tweaks of their own

[slender trellis]

Sounds cool, I believe it will run Epic, UbiConnect, and Origin in that OS.

[arctic yarrow]

I'm more interested in knowing if the base steam deck can have an NVME SSD added into it, considering the base model has the m.2 slot.

Knowing Valve, you probably can.

[slender trellis]

I really hope it can bring PS5 features in that Handheld like Adaptive Triggers and Haptic Feedback, there are few games support these like Cold War, Valhalla, and Exodus.

[brave field]

Its said to use normal SIAPI, so it should have everything but the trigger thing

[junior flax]

Im on a 970

If thats weak then what is mine

[hearty stirrup]

710 is the weakest

[junior flax]

Fuck having a 710

My 970 actually runs ok i suppose

[hearty stirrup]

Had it for 5 years pain

[junior flax]

If i were you get a 970 or something

[hearty stirrup]

@cursive epoch how many time do you want to flex with a gpu

It's getting boring tbh

That's what we dreamed of in the childhood

[cursive epoch]

Well most of the gpus are given to friends

Some who had broken pc's

Some that were stuck with GT730's

[junior flax]

I just idk why you would spend so much

[cursive epoch]

Well Bitcoin pays well

That's all I can say

[junior flax]

But to each their own, im happy on 60fps but some like 240

Oh god

Ur a miner

No wonder u got so many gpus

😂

[cursive epoch]

No no no

I'm not a miner

Lmao

I invest in Bitcoin

When Bitcoin drops I buy

When it rises I sell

[junior flax]

Ahh

[cursive epoch]

Yeah

That's how I make money rn

I had a Bitcoin wallet

That had shit tons of bitcoin

I just forgot the login details

[cold elbow]

Arent you the guy with googled pics?

[proud root]

Why not?

[junior flax]

ah

wallpaper engine caused that

for some reason

[fallow forge]

A clean windows install

And it still cant complete the updates

What the fuck

[cold elbow]

Factory reset is not a clean install

[fallow forge]

oh wel

still

[bleak flower]

Should I rearrange my setup?

@ me since I'm messaging multiple chats

[kindred temple]

No pics? No nothing?

Idk, up to yo ass. Is it messy or do you hate how it sorted out or sumn like that

We dont know

[bleak flower]

I'll send a picture

[kindred temple]

All good tbh

The thing i would see you do is swapping the table for something wider, and move your charging pad thing to the back side of your desk.

[bleak flower]

Kudos to you for being able to see the charger in this dark photo. I originally had the top monitor in portrait mode. and yes I am looking for a different desk, when I purchase one I will end up moving my setup for a more roomy spot.

[charred arrow]

Guys, what hdd should I get for gaming and just casual tasks? I was thinking about a wd purple 4tb. But someone said that I should get a red one. What would you recommend to me?

[kindred temple]

Continuation @charred arrow

But 99% of the time, something like Seagate Barracuda or WD Blue would be more suited and usually better priced.

[charred arrow]

Hm

I found exactly this one

WD Purple 4TB, 3,5", WD40PURZ

[kindred temple]

Again, compare price to the Blues and Red Plus.

Or Seagate Barracudas.

For HDD you should really dont care about the performance, care about reliability

nice flex

[jovial tide]

Also I think I unplugged my ram and forgot how to put it back in

[tacit umbra]

bruh

[jovial tide]

What

[hearty stirrup]

ram is the easiest thing in a pc

[jovial tide]

Ik
I just can't remember how to plug it back in

[hearty stirrup]

pull the tabs outwards line up the notch and push down hard till it clicks on both side

[jovial tide]

Ok

What if I break it?

[pliant lynx]

u wont break

[hearty stirrup]

it wont break just keep it straight and make sure notch is lined up

[jovial tide]

Got it in

Quick question
What if I took another 8 gig ram from another pc and plug it into my current PC?

[pliant lynx]

just make sure they the same

try to match the spec

[jovial tide]

Will it add to the ram or what?

[hearty stirrup]

as long as its the same ddr3/4 it will work better if theyre the same speed if not the better one will slow down to worse speed

[jovial tide]

Oh damn

Well thank you

Now I remember how to put ram back in

[hearty stirrup]

i had a hard ass time just removing the cmos battery even tho its supposed to be as easy as ram

but it clearly wasnt for me

[jovial tide]

I'm still very new to PC building

[hearty stirrup]

i just got it custom built all ive done is re instert ram and cmos lol too complicated to even install a drive

What happened to make C# so, so popular in the job market the past 6 months? There were so many Python, C++, and JS job postings, and now almost all of them want C# experience

Some even asking C# (Blazor) for web over JS, why?

[silent mason]

I'm wanting to learn C#, but really been struggling...

[brave field]

You're likely much better than I am

Perhaps we could learn/make something together?

[silent mason]

I doubt I am better than you!

You seem really knowledgeable on this kind of stuff.

But if you can deal with someone who gets information overload extremely easily, we could look into learning together.

[glass mirage]

So its a date

[jovial tide]

Guys, I got a question

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/267105548168483/?ref=facebook_story_share

For a starter pc, how good would this be

[brave field]

As long as you aren't going to play games, its okay

missing the power supply and storage hurts

[jovial tide]

Wdum

[brave field]

In the description, its missing its power supply and has no storage

Can't use it immediately if you do buy it

[jovial tide]

Oh

[brave field]

Are you able to contact them? Knowing which i5 it is may be useful too. Not a bad deal if its something like an i5 8400, and that PC + PSU and storage should total under £200

[jovial tide]

Ngl, I have no clue what a PSU is

[brave field]

PSU is a power supply, one end draws power from a wall outlet or surge protector and the other end has cables that are routed to different components in a PC

If you were going with that system, and are okay with opening it up, reading a manual, and installing it all, you could get https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/9nLyYg with your purchase, and it would be usable.

it's just the fan that's gone somewhat loud over time

i'm pretty sure opening it is gonna be fine as long as i disconnect the power, press the power button a couple times and then let it sit there for a day or two

[brave field]

[viral acorn]

You legit do not need this unless you’re working with intensive cad or something of that sort

[viral acorn]

Those are threads buddy

[light sinew]

I work with intensive CaD

wheres my 3090

[silent mason]

Ok, so I'm trying to forward port 8111 for my local network only (from my desktop PC to my RPi3 on the same local network)... since I don't have access to the router control panel, how can I do this?

[brave field]

sudo ufw allow 8111 ?

[silent mason]

Will that work on a Windows 10 desktop?

[brave field]

The router control panel should only be for opening to the rest of the world, so the OS-level firewall controls communication between systems

That command is run on the rPi

[silent mason]

Since my desktop PC is the one that has the source (an overlay running on port 8111), and the RPi3 will be the one connecting to said overlay

[brave field]

ah

Head to "Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security"

[silent mason]

So on my desktop I have this, which I want to access on the RPi3

I am running the program as admin to allow it to beam this to the local network

This screen?

[brave field]

I believe so

[silent mason]

Alright, I'm guessing this is an outbound rule?

And since this is MixItUp that is running the overlay, am I able to make it so only it can broadcast on port 8111?

[brave field]

Something seems weird, I've run programs like this but they are only listed in inbound, and not outbound

try outbound, and you can choose to allow the exe instead of the port when you go to make a new rule

[silent mason]

Ah gotcha, wasn't sure if it was an inbound or outbound connection

Here's what I'm referring to if that helps at all

[brave field]

maybe its inbound and not outbound

[silent mason]

Tried it as an inbound rule too, doesn't seem to be connecting

[brave field]

Is your current network set as private/home instead of public?

[silent mason]

Trying to figure out if this is a TCP or a UDP port

[brave field]

What about heading to localhost:port in a browser or curl on the Windows machine? Can it connect to itself?

[silent mason]

Yes

[rain beacon]

thech

[silent mason]

that's a bit better screenshot to show

So it's working on the local PC... it's just how do I beam it out over the local network... 😑

[brave field]

maybe the Pi is doing a poor job

does it work if you disable Windows' firewall entirely? (make sure nothing is forwarded in your router/modem first, else the PC is open to the world)

[silent mason]

I'm trying on my secondary PC atm

also running Windows 10. Since I'm trying to just get it up and running first, before I connect up my Pi3 again and run it on that

[brave field]

Can you successfully ping the hosting PC from that one?

[silent mason]

Disabled firewall outright temporarily, all is good

It connected there

[brave field]

hm

maybe its better to forward the port rather than MIU's executable

Nothing else will use the port unless told to

an open port with nothing listening shouldn't be much of a risk

[silent mason]

Firewall asks if it's TCP or UDP though

[brave field]

agh

[silent mason]

which I'm not sure on

[brave field]

netstat -ano on the hosting PC may say something

[silent mason]

is that on cmd?

[brave field]

Should work in both command prompt and powershell

I couldn't get the pipe to work so you'll have to scroll

[silent mason]

$?

[brave field]

?

[silent mason]

Oh |

[brave field]

netstat -ano | findstr "8111"

[brave field]

TCP

[silent mason]

Running as admin brought up 2 more entries, both TCP

Nope, turns out it was TCP & UDP, incoming

[brave field]

oo

[silent mason]

Weird but we got there in the end

May end up changing the port for security reasons though, we'll see

Now to rig up the Pi3 again

[brave field]

How are you using it with the Pi?

[silent mason]

fullscreen browser window displaying the overlays, HDMI output directly to ATEM

[brave field]

Is that fast? My Pi3 freezes if I even think of opening Chromium

[silent mason]

It's a single tab

And I've used it with other tabs and it's been decently quick

lmao its whatever but you got any other cpugpu intensive games you wanna list?

[kindred temple]

CPU bound stuff huh?

XCOM, Civilization, and Cities Skylines is good.

[civic cloud]

Supreme Commander is the most CPU bound game because it only uses one core

[kindred temple]

Well so does Minecraft lmao @civic cloud

Payday 2 is also 1 core

[civic cloud]

Neither of those games are really CPU intensive tho

[kindred temple]

And only able to use 4GB of ram

Because its engine is made with 32Bit

[silent mason]

Imagine trying to run FS2020 on a single core...

[silent mason]

oof, the overlays are a bit laggy... looks like I might need to go back to the secondary PC for it... and just wait until I can get the 5700G rig sorted before moving it to that

gonna see if Firefox handles it any better

[brave field]

Some solution that doesn't involve a browser would be awesome. How does MIU work?

[jovial tide]

I got a sandisk ultra and when i look at samsung evos sd it mentions 64gb variant having 20/s , 128gb at 60/s , 256-512 at 90/s awful write speeds

[fervent granite]

google says they're slow because of their slow read and write speeds

[pliant lynx]

i can testify sd card being slow af

[fervent granite]

pretty sure that's why some androids don't let you install apps to it by default, I think it was called unified storage or something like that

[kindred temple]

No, its because of its absolutely random IOPS performance

Its only good at writing things sequentially. Like in a camera.

Well 4800H i suppose

The 1065Gx is kinda meh, unless if you actually didnt use the Xe Max version and run the more conventional CPU+GPU combo.

But in laptops idc about performance

I care about battery life

So consider M1 Macbooks. Those are also a good pick.

[tidal drum]

Performance wise which is better?

[tidal drum]

I want one for gaming not for office work

[silent mason]

Do you have a specific need that can't be handled by an SFF desktop?

I said do you have a specific need that can't be handled by an SFF desktop.

[tidal drum]

Meaning?

[silent mason]

Why do you specifically need a laptop?

[tidal drum]

Gaming, editing, assignment, classes, Netflix

[silent mason]

All of which can be done with an SFF desktop.

[tidal drum]

U mean Mac book?

[silent mason]

No, SFF desktop.

[tidal drum]

What does sff mean?

[silent mason]

Small Form Factor. Like mITX boards.

I'm not sure if mATX counts as SFF or not.

I'm trying to figure out why you need a laptop specifically. You might be better served by a desktop unless you specifically need the extreme portability of a laptop.

[tidal drum]

Yea I need something portable

[silent mason]

For example I plan to go to LAN events. I use public transport to attend said events. There's a reason to need portability (I tried taking a desktop rig down... it was a painful experience)

So what's your reason for needing portability

[tidal drum]

Coz next year I’ll be out for country for higher education

[silent mason]

Will you be travelling a lot, or still mostly hunkered down in one place for studying?

[tidal drum]

Travelling a lot

I need one for classes

[silent mason]

Gotcha. Well I'm not up to date on laptop specs. I recommendd checking comparison sites and watching videos comparing them.

I've only been following the desktop space.

Unless you run linux, kinda meh

It NEEDS to be cheaper than 3060Ti.

[cursive epoch]

So the 6600xt is ment for Linux?

No wonder

I hope Nvidia GPUs are viable on Linux and AMD GPUs are viable on Windows someday soon

[grim trellis]

hey guys, does anyone here own an hp pavillion 15

and just a general question for all, whats the best way to prolong my battery life, l eave it plugged in when playing games then leave it on battery life when running easy taks or just keep it plugged in 24/7

[plucky raft]

Keep it plugged

[grim trellis]

is there a certain setting i can do to optimise it or something?

i dont want my battery lifeto degrade alot thats why im a bit cautious about it

[lost fossil]

it's not good to keep it plugged at all times

batteries don't like when you make them go from 100% to 99.9% and then back to 100% over and over again

[grim trellis]

no im talking like 20% to 100 or something close tothat

[lost fossil]

what you're already doing is good

[grim trellis]

becasue on games i sort of need it to be plugged in

[lost fossil]

keep it plugged during gaming for highest performance then use the battery when performance is not that important

[grim trellis]

oh alr thanks!

[fervent granite]

Well no because if you're gaming I'm sure it's using all its resources to give you the best performance which would decrease battery life

I guess you could turn down your graphical settings, but depending on the game and what settings you're tweaking it might be negligible

[jovial tide]

@frosty vortex With your UnRAID setup and all, do you have some sort of mass downloader program set up?

Something like jdownloader + a web GUI, or something that takes links you send, grabs the real links from the hosting site, and downloads it?

you could probably download an extension to fix this or use something like a greasemonkey script to force it

[fervent granite]

You can’t honestly expect someone to do it for you

[kindred temple]

I mean, you could if you ask oh so nicely to many people and ask them the rationale of each things

but yeah, the basics? Learn it ya self.

[vapid grove]

No

I want one of those, but they are very expensive in store here

The thing is, you'll know what you're planning to use your PC for, etc. I suggest starting by researching what each of the following parts of a computer are for:

Just do a lil steely

is this stuck

[pliant lynx]

did u snap the top part

just click it should be released

[gritty minnow]

Yo I have a question

What's a good RC steering wheel

For pc gta

Which one should I cop

For starters since I never used one

[kindred temple]

None.

GTA Racing on wheel is horrible.

[gritty minnow]

Oh

Really?

Why

[kindred temple]

Firstly, no FF

secondly, brakeboosting and turning spam pretty much makes wheel a massive strain to your arms and legs

and even worse, your equipment.

[gritty minnow]

Well okay

But I still want to buy one maybe for other games too

So what's a good one

[kindred temple]

Well whats your game then

And if you mainly just gonna do GTA, sticks will do you solid.

[paper shoal]

is it gonna be a good idea to use a condenser mic with a laptop?
i mean like does it take too much power?

[kindred temple]

Well if youre not an idiot you wouldnt plug a condenser without an external powered DAC/Amp.

[gritty minnow]

I'll mainly play some steam racing games that are free or don't cost that much

[kindred temple]

Yeah you better off gone with sticks

[paper shoal]

you mean phantom power?

[kindred temple]

Phantom power is only half the story in mics, and most DAC/Amp nowadays can provide the power needed.

[tulip plaza]

The white thing below the clip doesn't let me

[silent mason]

Plus there's the fact that the preamps in laptops are rubbish most of the time. For a condenser mic, you really want to get a decent interface or mixer. In my case, I use a mixer, the GoXLR. You'd be better served getting a USB mic in that case if you don't wanna faff around dealing with XLR cables and interfaces/mixers and the like.

[tulip plaza]

I don't think it's shaped

Snapped*

[pliant lynx]

ermm

[silent mason]

Press it in, as if you were trying to squeeze the cable

[pliant lynx]

yeah that

[tulip plaza]

[pliant lynx]

[jovial tide]

why cant this guy unplug his ethernet cablr

[tulip plaza]

I don't know if it's normal or it's fucked up because the clip is on top of the thing

[paper shoal]

would this be a good mic for laptops?
https://www.amazon.in/dp/B07JHDKXK4

it has usb

[silent mason]

potentially? I've not used USB mics in years, so I'll leave that to someone who knows more about USB mics.

I've personally never heard of maono either

[kindred temple]

Just get a K669 and call it a day. Other shit is just far overpriced and by that stage entry level XLRs are on arms reach.

[paper shoal]

so i can use it without a mixer or DAC/amp?

[kindred temple]

Yes, but really USB mics are just bad value if you want to improve your voice quality overtime

And yes, get a Fifine K669.

[paper shoal]

so xlr mics just have more accessories to improve the quality, thats the difference?

[kindred temple]

I mean... Thats a massive oversimplification.

[paper shoal]

i mean yeah

but from a beginner's pov

i just want to get a mic for chatting and stuff

not like really good quality

but average

USB mics take less load?

[kindred temple]

yeah, just average 5 volt or less.

[silent mason]

XLR is a professional audio standard

So they have the best quality usually

[civic cloud]

USB Mic is fine for talking on discord, don't worry :)

@jovial tide im here

[jovial tide]

Ok so It's something easy that I can't figure out. So I unplugged everything from my pc and stuff so I could clean the dust out and stuff. Plugged everything back in after done cleaning it out and everything seems good so far. Main monitor turns on with an Image then my 2nd monitor turns on without the Image and idk how to fix that

Everything is plugged in the same way I had it before I unplugged it

[kindred temple]

Are you sure its plugged all the way thru?

[jovial tide]

Yes it is

[kindred temple]

What GPU ya running?

I forgot

[kindred temple]

Oh, mf Radeon

lemme get on my little bro's PC, im running nvidia GPU now

Try to detect on windows settings menu?

Yeah, AMD redirects the display settings to windows.

[jovial tide]

Yeah I did that before I came here and it did nothing

[jovial tide]

Ok nvm @kindred temple

I had it in the wrong spot

[kindred temple]

Lemme guess

You plug it on your board?

[jovial tide]

No idk what I was thinking but I plugged it into the HDMI spot that's not on my gpu

ive tried cold water, warm water, monitor cleaner, cleaning liquid for glasses, alcohol wipes

some stains just dont get of

[kindred temple]

Are you sure its stain and not straight up mold myceliums?

I personally do just use windex and paper towel

[jovial tide]

the trick is to use a piece of wool cloth or those awesome microfiber cloths, and just water

[fallow forge]

tried that

didnt work

[jovial tide]

are those stains remaining even with alcohol?

if yes, I'd not go further with any other solvents and mess with the panel tbh

just ignore

Need help with buying a gaming pc

Need one that can run the game smoothly without any lag/crash

For rp on fivem and grand rp too

On budget because i dont want to buy a random pc

This is the system recommendation CPU Intel Core i5 3470 @ 3.2GHz / AMD X8 FX-8350 @ 4GHz
GPU NVIDIA GTX 660 2GB / AMD HD 7870 2GB
RAM 16GB
HDD 72GB + 8GB

[jovial tide]

So this is GTA's recommendation

But you play FiveM which needs a bit more

[vernal bloom]

Yeah

[jovial tide]

So question 1, what do you already have for a PC?

[vernal bloom]

My current pc has this

[kindred temple]

What you got cash wise?

Also, country?

[jovial tide]

Go to start -> type system information -> open it send a screenshot if you can

[vernal bloom]

The pc is at home

Im at friends house

[kindred temple]

That can be a way, but hwinfo64 is only a few mins of install and gives a super consise preview of the system.

[jovial tide]

I agree

[kindred temple]

And its actually a good monitoring app too so its good to keep around your PC.

[vernal bloom]

@kindred temple £400

[kindred temple]

Oof, yeah

You better off going used

[vernal bloom]

Or Less

[kindred temple]

Or upgrading your system

[vernal bloom]

Like

[cursive epoch]

I am back

[jovial tide]

so a brand new system will cost around 550-600 https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/wDkxp2

[cursive epoch]

I finished the new pc

[jovial tide]

upgrading your PC will cost about 300-400

and buying second hand would cost 400-600

@cursive epoch hi whats the pc

-- but this new one is more durable

[vernal bloom]

Ill buy a second hand one

Oh

[jovial tide]

oh too many fans

[cursive epoch]

Yeah ik

I had way too much fans left

[kindred temple]

3600+B450 is quite a killer in used market

Claire if he can find it that'll be awesome
