Honestly, you can't go wrong with Samsung.

WD has known QC issues.

There's a reason why WD drives are nicknamed "Will Die".

(As I use a WD SN750 for my primary boot drive)

[cold elbow]

Samsung its then

[jovial tide]

[kindred temple]

@jovial tide

y ya dm harass

smh

[jovial tide]

I can dm you about why if you like

[kindred temple]

meh

up to you

[jovial tide]

Ohum

[ionic thistle]

y'all so i was deleting something and i saw this
Is this a microsoft program or a virus ?

i launched the program and it seems like it's a safe program
and damn i think my pc is 6 years old lol

[kindred temple]

its fucking ridiculously named but it is a proper program

its there by the start of W11 rollout

its mainly to check if your pc is compatible for em

without telling you which part youre not compatible at

[ionic thistle]

ahhh got it thanks

[jovial tide]

That's microsoft way of lying to people in their face

It always contradicts Windows update win11 check

[ionic thistle]

the name sounds sussy AF

[fervent granite]

No one told you to get win11

[jovial tide]

Hmm, question

I wanna report a server's (not here) admins/mods's gang like behaviour to discord through discord trust and safety. how do I do that?

[strong saffron]

Here I guess https://dis.gd/request

[jovial tide]

That needs msg id

I sent them general inquiry

[strong saffron]

https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000291932-How-to-Properly-Report-Issues-to-Trust-Safety

[jovial tide]

I'm so disappointed :/

Some admins (again not here) act like trash gangsters on the street

Hopefully Discord will hold its partners to its standards

[dense birch]

yeah, seems like someone saw through you
sad

[ionic thistle]

I have windows 10

[cold elbow]

the samsung ssd that i showed you is not the pro... it's just 980 which is dram-less

idk if that's a bad thing or not

[kindred temple]

It heavily depends on the main controller quality

But yeah, wear levelling gonna suck.

Which is why i usually try to squeeze in DRAM SSD for high write read cache situation

Like in an OS or scratch disk

[charred arrow]

Guys is a 1050ti with rgb 'rare'?

Just because I can't really find one neither new or pre owned

[cinder rapids]

probably isnt a thing..

[charred arrow]

I have one at home so it has to be

Just can't find any other for sell

[charred arrow]

Gigabyte gtx 1050 ti g1 rgb exactly

[kindred temple]

Damn you really one of those mf who buy those?

[cinder rapids]

cough this

[jovial tide]

😶

[cold elbow]

it comes with 5 year warranty so yeah

[lost fossil]

it wasn't hitting those speeds with the asus router

[jagged lark]

If i put a piece of tissue in the hard drive caddy (console) can it burn?

[lost fossil]

as long as your hard drive doesn't reach 233 °C you should be fine

[signal heath]

Anyone here know anything about Java?

[brave field]

What are you looking for? @signal heath

[signal heath]

I’m new to coding and I’m trying to wrap my head around parameters in functions.

When writing a function with parameters does it matter if you have directions in the parameter function vs. the executed function in the start?

[brave field]

What is "directions" referring to in this question?

Have a snippet or file you're currently working on?

[fervent granite]

Anyone have mechanical keyboard suggestions?

Preferably not “gamer” themed

@brave field

It's all here

[kindred temple]

included in the box

[unreal iron]

In the box. I almost freaked thinking I'd have to use the old one

[cold elbow]

where airflow

[brave field]

nice!

[unreal iron]

It won't close

[brave field]

why does that look so naked

you're missing a mounting screw that belongs near the bottom of the socket

[unreal iron]

Yes I had to take it out

To open the lever

Is this cpu not made for this mobo?

[brave field]

10400/F, yeah? made for it

[unreal iron]

I feel like I have to force it

[brave field]

the screw there is supposed to be in the whole time

don't use force!

[unreal iron]

Right I'm not

[brave field]

put the screw in first, back how it was

then you can use the lever on the right

that will require a bit of force, but not really downwards force

[unreal iron]

Yes

[brave field]

just "turning the lever to completion" force

righty good

[unreal iron]

Yeah I'd have to push too hard

The winge don't fit into the top of the cpu

[jovial tide]

You have to put the force into it

[brave field]

pull the metal cover up and make sure its lined up well and there's no debris anywhere

if its really all good under there, use that force, then

[unreal iron]

The notches are lined up

[jovial tide]

Make sure CPU doesn't drop into the socket

[brave field]

don't facepalm

[jovial tide]

I've seen it happen it's a disaster

[brave field]

Destroying pins is, yes, but facepalm isn't the response!
if all four corners are in there and lined up when the CPU is in the socket, put the cover over and put the lever down

[unreal iron]

There's a lot of tension here

[brave field]

yup

[jovial tide]

That's how it works

[kindred temple]

Now get the GPU

[brave field]

stops that awful chance of an inevitable cooler removal at a later date from almost pulling out the CPU with it

[jovial tide]

Oh that needs a facepalm too

[kindred temple]

Stop

[brave field]

the GPU is in an old PC

[jovial tide]

Alongside deliding soldered CPUs

[unreal iron]

Is this really all it is now?

[jovial tide]

That's your cooler

[kindred temple]

Yep, 4 pegs

Line em up and press it

[brave field]

the cooler, make very much so to not touch the paste under it

^^^

[kindred temple]

Itll sound like a holepunch but dont worry

Shit aint breaking

[paper condor]

I remember installing these

Make sure that u pull the pegs before putting it there

[brave field]

waaait wait a minute one thing at a time

[jovial tide]

[brave field]

cooler first, since its out and all already

[kindred temple]

Oo

[jovial tide]

What is that

[unreal iron]

The old pc

[kindred temple]

Das a 1050Ti or sumn?

[unreal iron]

1060 Phoenix sor smth

[jovial tide]

Not the GPU the whole thing

[brave field]

The rest is an alienware...

[kindred temple]

Doesnt matter, video output

Get the SSD and GPU out

[jovial tide]

Alienware includes Asus?

I see, Alienware bad bad

[unreal iron]

Half of the Andromeda is replaced

She turns 9 this year

[jovial tide]

Exusia buy an R13-R14 or something

[kindred temple]

Shoo

[jovial tide]

More of like buying art over PC but still good art

[kindred temple]

Aurora ass

[jovial tide]

Ofcourse

[cold elbow]

Arash how many time i should tell u not to mention dell

[jovial tide]

I won't disagree

[cold elbow]

Fuck dell

[kindred temple]

[jovial tide]

But R13, R14 look beautiful bruh

[cold elbow]

No

[unreal iron]

Is there a way to set it, or do I just pop it in the 4 hols and figure out the wires later

[cold elbow]

It looks like an e waste

[brave field]

@unreal iron no way to set it, just have to line it up and punsh

[jovial tide]

looks good to me, as a piece of e-trash art

[brave field]

BUT

do try to line it up so the wire on it can be close to your CPU_FAN header on your motherboard

[cold elbow]

Cursed

[brave field]

Its shown at the top of page ix in your manual

[jovial tide]

Don't forget CPU_FAN and not CPU_OPT

[unreal iron]

Manual?

[kindred temple]

Just tie the excess to a square knot

Easy cable fix

[unreal iron]

I threw all that shit away

[jovial tide]

I've seen things happen to people connecting their AIO to CPU_OPT instead of CPU_FAN

[brave field]

the installation instructions and manual in your motherboard box

unthrow it away

[unreal iron]

[kindred temple]

DONT THROW ANYTHING OUT

IF IT HAS TEXT DONT THROW EM OUT

[kindred temple]

ANY PC COMPONENTS

[jovial tide]

Claire don't get emotional

Manuals are wastes anyway

[cold elbow]

A manual a day keeps nerds away

Nerds that recommends dell and gigabyte

[kindred temple]

Yes

[brave field]

to be fair, gigabyte doesn't suck 100% of the time

just 99% of the time

[jovial tide]

Dude if you say this on ** some other well known communities both on discord + reddit** they'll ban you

How dare you say Gigabyte's crap lol

[brave field]

my board still doesn't fully restart as intended if I'm in Windows lol

[kindred temple]

Z690 proart when

[cold elbow]

My board still fucking up my m.2 ssd that made me order an nvme ssd

[jovial tide]

What's the point of proart?

Like what do you have with proart that's makes it distinguishable

[kindred temple]

No RGB

Oh and again

not shitty black and gold

[unreal iron]

Um

How do I unpunch the hole punch things

[kindred temple]

Turn it

I forgot which clockwise

[brave field]

they have arrows on top, read arrow and untighten and suck it out if you need to remove
(but don't do this, you can mess up your paste if you lift too much)

[cold elbow]

It has an arrow

U push it then rotate

[unreal iron]

OH COOL

I think this is right

[brave field]

should be level-ish to the table and not super wiggly

wait, why that fan header?

[cold elbow]

U had one job

[brave field]

am I reading the wrong manual here

[unreal iron]

I don't know it's all one piece

[brave field]

page ix

[cold elbow]

Look at that intel logo rotated 90°

Vdsdbshfsjfsjgsjgsht

[brave field]

aesthetics blah

look at the wraith stealth/spire facing 90 degrees no matter what unless you disassemble it

[unreal iron]

Smh now I have all this excess cable

[brave field]

does the fan header

say "CPU_FAN" on the board itself?

[cold elbow]

No

[brave field]

that looks like a chassis fan header, for back exhaust

[cold elbow]

That's system fan1

[unreal iron]

Cha fan 1

Oops

[brave field]

move plug to uhh

bop bop

[unreal iron]

Didn't see those pi s at the top

Cpu opt or cpu fan

[brave field]

fan

[unreal iron]

Ok now what

[brave field]

alienware didn't really need its cooler removed

so you have your new board, with your new ram and new CPU

perfect, and crispy

[unreal iron]

No but I want that cpu

[fervent granite]

Ew

[brave field]

o

toss your new board into your sharkoon

[kindred temple]

Is that 4770k?

[unreal iron]

I3 2320

Lmao

[kindred temple]

Oof

[cold elbow]

Chad cpu

[kindred temple]

Gl selling it tbrfh

[brave field]

sells surprisingly okay right now

[unreal iron]

I3 2320?

[brave field]

people are still paying $60 in some places, for some weird reason

[unreal iron]

For 9 year old cpu?

[brave field]

yes

[unreal iron]

Tf

[brave field]

even with it being equivalent to last gen's celerons, yes

[unreal iron]

Ok now what

[brave field]

throw new board into sharkoon case

put the IO shield in first

should be in your mobo's box

metallic knife with holes in it

[cold elbow]

Dont cut yourself with the io shield and die

[brave field]

looks like this, hand included

[unreal iron]

Hea

Looks just like it

[brave field]

that thing, it "fits" into your case, push it from the inside, facing outwards

and by fits, I mean there's a 70% chance it won't fit at all, and you'll ahve to fight it

[cold elbow]

Nice mug

[unreal iron]

So put the board in without the gpu or a hard drive or the wifi card?

[cold elbow]

Yes

[brave field]

PCIe devices are very easy to un/install, they go last

[kindred temple]

Oh hey

CX550 gang

[brave field]

after io shield, make sure the case has standoffs, also

these thingies

they stand, don't screw a board in without them

[unreal iron]

The shield doesn't stay

[brave field]

send pic

[unreal iron]

It's just loose

[brave field]

must push

it pops in, it will be somewhat flush with the back once its in there

[unreal iron]

Ok I got it

[brave field]

in goes board

[unreal iron]

Which ones

[brave field]

case manual will say

definitely not those super long ones, and not the thumb ones

[brave field]

non-long, non-thumb-turnable small ones, should fit snugly with the board. Don't overtighten.

[unreal iron]

@brave field ok board fits

I dropped a sceewdriver

On my phone

There's a glittery spot now

[brave field]

Install speaker. Not a huge deal, but its beep codes can be nice if there are issues POSTing

Your mobo manual page 1-5 shows the pinout. you can plug up all the other case things like the power and reset buttons, USB, audio, and the like on the same page and two before it as well

must leave
Sorry to hear about the phone, is the spot clearing up?

claire and melon and arash have you covered

[unreal iron]

@kindred temple what now

[kindred temple]

Whats ya step rn

Im doing laundry rn

Didnt see chatto

[unreal iron]

Just installed mobo to case and damaged my phone

So that's where we're at

[kindred temple]

Open the manual, find the cluster of pins thats for the front port

Usually at the far bottom right

[unreal iron]

Yeah speaker is in

[kindred temple]

speaker you dont really need to hook, what you need to hook rn is power and reset pin

both orientation wont matter

[unreal iron]

Power and pin?

[kindred temple]

power and reset switch

[unreal iron]

Power supply?

[kindred temple]

nooooo

[unreal iron]

Ok so

[unreal iron]

Yeah what so I plug in

[kindred temple]

and then plug the GPU in, and what you want to be your boot drive

[unreal iron]

This one?

[kindred temple]

the power goes to the one marked PWRSW, and the reset goes to RESET

[unreal iron]

Or is it in the case

[kindred temple]

its in the case

thats a SATA data cable, to hook in the HDD or the SSD

wait

you did put in the PSU already right?

[unreal iron]

One of these?

[kindred temple]

yap, that bundle

[kindred temple]

it should be marked POWER, or just PWR

yeah you should probably start putting in the PSU by now to help you figure out cable management but eh

its aite

[unreal iron]

These?

[kindred temple]

mhm

POWER to PWRSW, and RESET to RESET

[unreal iron]

What's a psu

[kindred temple]

power supply

this boi

[unreal iron]

Ok

OK I think all of the tiny little things are all plugged in

[kindred temple]

you read the diagram right?

[unreal iron]

I've got 6 manuals here I don't k ow

[unreal iron]

For those tiny pins? Yes

[kindred temple]

yeah

get the GPU mounted, and the boot drive

just the boot drive for now, the SSD/HDD you wanna install OS on

[unreal iron]

What about all this shit

[unreal iron]

Os is already installed

The ocz is the main drive

[jovial tide]

you cable manage that

with like zipties

[unreal iron]

Ok solve got the 2 hard drives

[kindred temple]

route the ATX power cable. and the CPU power cable

and hang whatever the pcie power cable needed to power the GPU

it should be clearly marked which is which

[brave field]

the GPU and CPU power cables will both be 8 pin

but the CPU one is more two 4 pin cables slapped together

and the GPU one is a 6pin and 2pin slapped together

[unreal iron]

Gpu doesn't need extra power

She is smol

[jovial tide]

1050/Ti yeah usually won't need extra power

[kindred temple]

issa 1060 no?

[jovial tide]

1060 no supplementary psu cable's rare

[unreal iron]

There's only one place to plug an 8 pen in

[jovial tide]

that should be the CPU power

[unreal iron]

Cool I guessed right

[jovial tide]

And there's something on the side of most modern GPUs that's similar

[jovial tide]

You get 8/6+2/6 cable cables

[unreal iron]

Do I do this one too

[jovial tide]

That's the 24pin cable yes that's essential

Those 2 power your motherboard+cpu

[unreal iron]

Ok so that's cpu and 24 pin

[kindred temple]

now route the GPU cable

[unreal iron]

Gpu doesn't need extra power

[brave field]

great

[kindred temple]

then you dont need to

now mount the SSD, should be 4 screws in the case box

[brave field]

@unreal iron waiwaiwait

you did make that bootable usb from before, yeah?

[unreal iron]

No?

[brave field]

just in case Windows decides to not boot with a new mobo

o

[unreal iron]

Was I supposed to

There's 2 drives

[brave field]

yeah kinda, but that was like a month and half ago

it'll be fine more than liekly

[brave field]

continue mounting the SSD

[unreal iron]

There's not enough room for both to mount

[brave field]

the hard drive goes on the other side, down where the power supply is

[jovial tide]

Looks good Exusia

[brave field]

2 on your case manual

[unreal iron]

What about all these

[brave field]

page 1-4 in your motherboard manual

some of them will be bare, others connect to more cables coming form your case

USB2.0 ports near the center, audio on the far left

[kindred temple]

Yeah, USB ports, forgot that.

[unreal iron]

What is a PCI

And this thing says usb3

USB 0910 or 1112

Ok plugged those in

@kindred temple now whqt

There's no way to securethe hdd

No screws fit

[zealous pasture]

exusia building pc

[unreal iron]

So it's just gonna sit ig

[kindred temple]

Whoa no

Bad idea

[unreal iron]

Bad idea to sit it on the base level?

[kindred temple]

Vibration on the HDD will kill it

Like legit

Itll kill itself by its momentum

[unreal iron]

No screws fit

[kindred temple]

Really?

[kindred temple]

Nooo not that

[unreal iron]

These holes won't let a screw fit the hdd

[kindred temple]

Its inside the PSU shroud

[unreal iron]

The where

[kindred temple]

It looks like a rack right next to the PSU

[unreal iron]

Set it in here?

Wait what's this go to

[brave field]

case manual yes, area marked number 2, probably using the longer screws and either with plastic inserts in there or some sort of vibration insulating rubber pads

that plug goes to nothing right now, its a legacy MOLEX power connector

though, if a smaller 3/4pin one connected to it, that's your case fan's power

route it through to a CHA_FAN header on the mobo

[unreal iron]

It fits something coming from Main Power can I just plug it into that?

[brave field]

you could, but you shouldn't

if that is indeed the cable for the front intake fan, it'll run at 100% speed 24/7 if you do that

making it loud and pretty inefficient

[zealous pasture]

is that a 1050ti/1060 mini

[kindred temple]

set it at 12V mode could make it possible to change it speed

but most mobo dont support that, they usually only support 1 not the other.

[brave field]

Lots of mobos support changing speed for a 3pin fan, non-PWM

but that's a 4pin MOLEX, thick plug that goes to PSU, which can't do controlling, no?

can those be controlled when connected to only the PSU now somehow?

[zealous pasture]

you could try a molex to 4 pin controller ig

[kindred temple]

oh wait molex

[kindred temple]

yeah in molex youre SOL without proper controller

[unreal iron]

Yeah got it plugged in now

Ok so what of this hdd

There's nowhere to screw it down

[brave field]

should be on the sides of that area, once slid in

or that tray physically comes out

screw the drive into the case around this area or so

[kindred temple]

^^^^

[unreal iron]

Yeah it looks like you could mount something here but I don't have anything to set the HDd on

[kindred temple]

wdym

the 4 screw can support the weight of all HDDs under the sun

[brave field]

no sort of metal lip or something under there, no plastic trays in the sharkoon box somewhere, no rubber stuff inside that to hold the drive in place?

[unreal iron]

It sits nicely on some of the punch holes

But there is no way to get a screw driver in here

[kindred temple]

you gonna need to remove the front panel iirc

[brave field]

The front panel of the case should come off without crunching if moved gently

[kindred temple]

and also the psu if you got a specially long screwdriver...

Fuck, sorry.

[unreal iron]

Take off the shroud?

[kindred temple]

Im too used to working with detachable HDD bays :notlikek3lly:

no, the front of the case

[brave field]

we really should just do a POST test ASAP, would suck to have a defective mobo/ram/CPU and do all this work for the hard drive

[unreal iron]

There's no squeeze or pop tabs to get the bathroom off

No Pop tabs to get the front off

[brave field]

If there isn't some way to unscrew or move that whole cage, the front panel is the only way. Tabs/screws might be hidden pretty well, and very secured in place

[unreal iron]

Nothing in the pamphlet either

Fuck it

Just fuck the Seagate for now

What's next. The ocz is in

I have to find rubber things for the Seagate, and screws and stuff for it just box it back up for now

[brave field]

let's see

CPU, ram, mobo, GPU, all the power for each, front panel, SSD, PSU

[unreal iron]

I'm not seeing any cable to plug the ssd.in

[brave field]

all in, yeah?

should come with the motherboard

1sec

you had a picture earlier

[kindred temple]

ya need this hoe

and the other longer hoe

[brave field]

ye ye ye

[kindred temple]

thats how i can aptly describe how a SATA port look like

[brave field]

the long one is on the power supply

[unreal iron]

None of those fit like the other one did

[kindred temple]

its keyed, line up the notch

[unreal iron]

These are all L shaped

[brave field]

yup

[unreal iron]

Ok so it goes from ssd to...

Does it matter which one I use, there's 2

[brave field]

preferably not SATA6G_1, but really any of the mobo's sata ports will be fine

just know that one port gets shut off is you install a certain type of m.2 drive in the future

[kindred temple]

its usually 2 and 4 on asus

or was it MSI?

[brave field]

so any but the top left port on page ix

[kindred temple]

oh only slot 1

[unreal iron]

Shut the fuck up Netflix and play my background noise

Netflix judging me smh

Both of these cables say sata 6gbps

[kindred temple]

exusia trynna cosplaying donald trump junior, watchin tiger king in 2 sitting instead of 1 like a normal person

[brave field]

the cables are fine

[unreal iron]

It doesn't matter which one I use?

[brave field]

SATA6G_1 is the name of one of the 6 ports on your motherboard

doesn't matter which cable, nope

[unreal iron]

And any of these 6

[brave field]

yes

[unreal iron]

Satan G5 are the bottom and Satan G6 at the top

Oh nvm

They're all Sata6 1-8 I'm dum

Ok plugged

Does it matter which slots the RAM is plugged into

[kindred temple]

very

[unreal iron]

Nah 1 sitting like a true Netflix nolife

[brave field]

your manual recommends slot B2 and A2

2nd and 4th from the CPU socket

[unreal iron]

Oh I was just looking for the pamphlet

Thx

[brave field]

though 1st and 3rd isn't going to be detrimental or anything, its just preferred a bit. two slots right next to each other will be wack, though

[kindred temple]

its usually detrimental, cookie

certain mobo wont engage dual channel mode unless the recommended slots are populated

[brave field]

interesting

[unreal iron]

Huh

Ok fixed

Wifi card is in too

Sooo

Front fan

Back fan

Cpu

Ram

Grafix

Power

Is that finally everything

Level 200

[brave field]

show how your GPU and wifi card is mounted

this looked worrying

[brave field]

ooooooh that needs to come out 😬

very very very very very very very very gently

using the push lever down here

at the right edge of that slot

[unreal iron]

Gpu was sagged. Fixed it

[brave field]

take a picture from the back of the case

that's still

[brave field]

out

outoutoutout

gently

very

[unreal iron]

Which one the gpu?

[brave field]

GPU yes

[clear remnant]

wow whats wrong? im not well versed in the pc knoledge

[unreal iron]

Ok it's out

[brave field]

unscrew the area in the back, the GPU's metal bracket needs to be on the outside for both

this middle one

[unreal iron]

Those pop out.

[brave field]

I'm making sure I'm not blind here

[brave field]

on the back of your GPU

the metal bracket on the GPU itself is as high as two slots on the case, yes?

[clear remnant]

whats wrong with his og placement?

[kindred temple]

YO WAIT

https://nzxt.com/collection/bld-kit

HOLY SHIT YOU CAN CIRCUMVENT SHITTY BLD BUILD QUALITY NOW

POGGERS

[brave field]

I'm confirming I'm not hallucinating @clear remnant

[unreal iron]

Yes it's 2 slots tall

[brave field]

If the GPU's lower bracket is being covered by the case's PCIe cover

then the GPU is being bent, which is very bad

[unreal iron]

No it was sagging from being straight out

And I didn't screw it down right

Qlso

[brave field]

wait wait wait wait

wait

[unreal iron]

Part of the wifi card bracket was under it

[brave field]

wait

[unreal iron]

It all fits good just gotta make sure they're not overlapped when I screw it down

[brave field]

The red here is the case's, yes?

[unreal iron]

Case yes

[brave field]

and what I'm seeing inside the green circles is part of the GPU's own metal bracing sitting trapped BEHIND the case's yes?

[kindred temple]

oh shit

yeah

[kindred temple]

you need to remove that off

[unreal iron]

It's just a vent looking thing

[brave field]

remove the case's second cover

[kindred temple]

the case pcie slot placeholder needs to be removed

or your vent will be blocked for the GPU

you basically almost ovened your GPU die there

[unreal iron]

Pretty sure it's just a spacer

[brave field]

still needs correct mounting though

[kindred temple]

still bad practice

yeah

[unreal iron]

Smh

[brave field]

having it bend can cause the video ports' solder joints to be pried off the PCB over time

a miniscule amount, but still an amount

[unreal iron]

K

Mount it now?

[brave field]

ye

[unreal iron]

No screws not pushed I

Ok

Ok mounted

@brave field now what

[brave field]

sounds like every component is in

[kindred temple]

that should be all in tbh

[brave field]

Connect a display to the GPU, plug in power
Try POSTing, check for beep codes or troubleshooting lights

[unreal iron]

I'm gonna go for food first. Im.exhausted

[brave field]

Alright. Probably not going to be on when you're back.

if you have weird lights, manual. If you have beeps, an ASUS beep codes guide will explain what to reseat. If its just Windows not loading, this is the reason I mentioned making the USB back last month, you'll need the media creation tool and the USB drive from before

[unreal iron]

Oh fuck

@kindred temple I don't know what any of this is

[kindred temple]

you did plug in the drive right?

[unreal iron]

Thanks melon, it's my alcohol mug

[kindred temple]

turn on advanced mode

[unreal iron]

Yeah this is the setup page

The Seagate is NOT in here rn

[kindred temple]

no i mean the SSD you want to install the OS in

[unreal iron]

Advanced me u

[kindred temple]

boot tab

[unreal iron]

The ssd has the os already on it. It's from the old pc

[kindred temple]

yeah open up boot tab

[unreal iron]

The Seagate will be in addition to later, when I get some foam

Boot

[kindred temple]

boot configuration

[unreal iron]

You need better photo I didn't realize it was zoomed back

[kindred temple]

oh shit wrong tab

eek

[unreal iron]

I haven't changed anything

[kindred temple]

check main again, scroll down

[kindred temple]

hmm

Advanced?

I forgot where the hell do you find the boot option on asus

eee

[unreal iron]

Wym what are we looking for

Ez mode is f7

[kindred temple]

get back to boot tab, open secure boot.

[unreal iron]

??

[kindred temple]

just open it

[kindred temple]

im just trying to find it

[unreal iron]

No such tB

[tender ether]

Nice mug

[kindred temple]

esc, get back on the main boot menu

_<

[unreal iron]

Thanks it's for drinking night

[kindred temple]

hard to explain without video chat

im still in class rn

[unreal iron]

Exit is to just boot pc I'm pretty sure

[kindred temple]

i was trying to find a way to open up the boot priority in advanced mode because your drive didnt show up

if its properly plugged, you should see em

[unreal iron]

Uh

It froze

[unreal iron]

Found it

[kindred temple]

hmm?

pic

[unreal iron]

It was on the first screen

[kindred temple]

ya, press F8

and try to find the boot drive on each tab

[unreal iron]

Uh

[kindred temple]

because idk which is which

aaaaaaaaa

[unreal iron]

System cannot find any bootable devices

Now what

Check the plugs?

[kindred temple]

yeah, you gotta check both SATA connectors, make sure it clicked and seated properly

[unreal iron]

Fuck me

It was so much wooorrrkkk

Getting it snug down there

[kindred temple]

Rule of thumb: dont put on side panel until you boot to windows

[unreal iron]

Is that like a weight thing or just counting eggs before hatched

[kindred temple]

basically

[unreal iron]

Which one

[kindred temple]

latter

[unreal iron]

Ok

So this is good right? I can clean up some of these boxes and manuals and shit everywhere?

Like this is THE last step? Or close to it?

[lost fossil]

was this cleared up?

are the ports you used actually enabled?

[jovial tide]

how r u supposed to fix an error code 43 on a graphics cars?

[unreal iron]

@kindred temple can't get it to find the drive. What now

Switched cord, and port

Nothing

[kindred temple]

wipe the drive

[unreal iron]

How?

Wait am I gonna need that windows dongle cookie was on about

[hearty stirrup]

Yeah but need a working laptop/pc to make it

[unreal iron]

I can do that but

It's 1am and I got 4 hours of driving tomorrow

That's a tomorrow problem

[ionic aspen]

imagine waiting to buy an overpriced gpu just for it to not work lmao

that would suck

[unreal iron]

Hey bro I got a Radeon 550 or something if u wany it. $400

[ionic thistle]

it's built ?

[unreal iron]

No the hard drive isn't being recognized. That's a next Monday problem

[ionic thistle]

is it a second hand one or just a common problem building pcs OR you just got unlucky ?

never built a PC before

[unreal iron]

New mobo means hard drives might not take well I think it's hit or miss and often it's a miss

Since the new drive is going to ask "who the fuck are you" while the new mobo gets all handsy trying to look into it's drive space

If it's consensual you get your shit, if not then it doesn't get recognized

[lost fossil]

no, it doesn't mean that

[ionic thistle]

[lost fossil]

dumb question but if your psu is modular, did you plug in the sata power cable?

[unreal iron]

The what

[lost fossil]

the sata power cable

[unreal iron]

On the old pc there was this socket that fit the whole row of shit on the ssd

Now it's just the L cable

[lost fossil]

don't tell me you only plugged in the data cable into the drive

[unreal iron]

The L shipped cable is all that's plugged in yeah

There wasn't any cable to fit the rest of that row of pins

[unreal iron]

oh then it has no power

cookie left that out

[ionic thistle]

[unreal iron]

SMH!

I dont think I have anything to fit that tho

[lost fossil]

🅱️ ®️ ⛎ 🇭

[unreal iron]

what

on the old pc it was just plug in and it did BOTH

I thought it was weird to only need the L cable

[lost fossil]

well

it was the drive that was supposed to take the L, but i guess you took it instead

[unreal iron]

https://tenor.com/view/maybe-who-am-i-to-judge-doctor-strange-gif-13875260

[lost fossil]

i don't think his lips move enough to say that whole sentence

well

now u know

[unreal iron]

oh well. Next Monday problem

[civic cloud]

Rude

[lost fossil]

why it's like 5 minutes

[civic cloud]

🥺

[unreal iron]

because tomorrow I drive adn then thursday I come home

fri/sat/sun I work 16/16/16

Monday problem

@lost fossil I dropped a screwdriver on my phone while reading instructions

https://tenor.com/view/godfather-massacre-sad-gif-16810633

Glittery pixels

It's $150 if I take it in to have it fixed

Which is considerably better than the $700 part and $200 in labor but fuck meeeeee

[civic cloud]

:///

[unreal iron]

I'm gonna get everyone at thanksgiving saying "omg this is what you get" and be all smug that apple fisted them for $1300 instead of my 18 like I dont have 3x the screen real estate

If only it had happened after thanksgiving

[lost fossil]

is this actually noticeable

if not then just don't bring it up

and don't bring up the phone, physically

[unreal iron]

Everyone asks to see it!

It fucking FOLDS

[lost fossil]

oh

[unreal iron]

I'm just sitting their minding my own and people be like damn can I try the hinge

[lost fossil]

well you can always be like

[unreal iron]

It's a speck. It's tiny

[lost fossil]

just be real about it

"i dropped a screwdriver on it like a moron"

[unreal iron]

I always tell people you have to take care of it

I've never not mentioned it lol

Like yeah it's fragile you gotta treat it like a 2000 experimental phone

[lost fossil]

i treated my phone well

[unreal iron]

proceeds to fuck it up like a shitlord

[lost fossil]

but not because its screen was plastic

but because it was made out of the most brittle material next to diamonds

ceramic phone sounds cool but only until you realize that phones tend to be dropped

now i never actually dropped it on asphalt, but i dropped it on linoleum and it was enough to crack the screen

[unreal iron]

Yeah

[lost fossil]

4 times

[unreal iron]

Glassbacks were the dumbest fucking phone design ever lmao

[lost fossil]

i want another ceramic phone ngl

[unreal iron]

Lol

[lost fossil]

i never used a case and it still has zero scratches

ain't that the best thing ever

unfortunately, the mix 4 is a bit out of my range currently

[unreal iron]

We don't have xiaomi in the us

[lost fossil]

my priority is a screen without disabilities

by that i mean a screen that doesn't have any notches or holes in it

[civic cloud]

uwu

Hole punch better than notch tho

[lost fossil]

and xiaomi seems to be the only brand that makes these

hole punch

notch

[civic cloud]

You 🚮

[lost fossil]

slider camera or underscreen camera

[civic cloud]

:dab:

[lost fossil]

that is true

[civic cloud]

jk ly

<3

💕

[lost fossil]

it's only because of this

[civic cloud]

pff

No

[unreal iron]

Oh well now I can get the fold 3 and lie to myself that it was a necessary purchase

[civic cloud]

._.

[lost fossil]

man has the funds to buy a fold 3 but not a high tier gpu

[unreal iron]

I mean

I can't spread a gpu into 30 months of payments

[civic cloud]

You totally can

Many shops offer rate pay

[unreal iron]

But I don't game hard on my pc

I use my phone.....constantly

I use my phone so much I get in trouble at work

I use my pc for....10 hours a week...if that

1060 is good enough for me

[civic cloud]

smh

[jovial tide]

There is Xiaomi in US

[unreal iron]

Not through any primary carriers

[jovial tide]

But I personally prefer pixel phones

True you have to directly buy it straight away

[unreal iron]

Yeah no there's no xiaomi in the us unless you import it yourself

Hope you bought the unlocked GSM version or you ain't getting no service

[jovial tide]

Hmm idk about US but in Canada there are small companies importing it

It also covers pretty much all the bands

[lost fossil]

xda?

[unreal iron]

Look there's some all-sorts places in Arab Town side of the city. They might import it

There's a BUNCH of family owned shops there and the only chains are like fast food

I wouldn't be surprised if they import them for the people that immigrate and want one

[cold elbow]

downloaded a driver for my old laptop from nvidia and windows telling me that they cant verify the driver and putting the risk on me

BRUHHH

[unreal iron]

Did you download a car or motorbike for the driver

[unreal iron]

Can you override windows and "how bout I do anyway?"

[cold elbow]

yeah i did that

[unreal iron]

And it did it again?

Oof

[cold elbow]

after installing the driver

laptop feels laggy now

this laptop is hopeless

driver does not work

nice

[jovial tide]

testing microsoft's cloud gaming feature through ea

gamepass ultimate is something!

[livid kestrel]

If i update my cpu driver, will i lose all of the stuff in the original version of the driver?

[ionic thistle]

how do i see which CPU cooler i have without taking it apart ?

[kindred temple]

Just open the case?

[kindred temple]

Your settings would be preserved most of the time

[livid kestrel]

Ok tnx

Btw what do you mean by "most of the time"

[kindred temple]

Sometimes drivers just bugged and reset to default settings

Not your entire system

Just the part of the system the drivers are directly responsible for.

[livid kestrel]

Ok tnx

[livid kestrel]

Is it gonna give me a notif if it will?

[kindred temple]

No lol

[jovial tide]

Aren't settings tied to programs and the bios itself?

Like CPU settings = XTU + bios settings

[cold elbow]

Use x-ray

[ionic thistle]

[charred otter]

Anyome here know about a computer using 100% of its gpu

This was at school and previously someone yoinked a graphics card already and now our best computer turned into a sound board

[kindred temple]

well firstly you gotta check your task manager and see if the GPU is even there lmao

[charred otter]

Well i never got a chance to look honestly and now im off school for the rest of the week

So i was asking in possible ways to find out how to fix it

[cold elbow]

Getting a gpu

[charred otter]

Well damn

This is a school computer we are talking about

So uh

[strong saffron]

Your school lets students open the PC cases?

[charred otter]

No

[cold elbow]

Your school computer comes with gpu

[charred otter]

But the other good computer was robbed of its graphics card and sold on the internet for 1200$

And im thinking someone stole this one

Which just bullshit

[strong saffron]

Well you can look at the back and see where the monitor is plugged into

[charred otter]

Ok

[strong saffron]

How did they steal it then?

[charred otter]

Waited until the teacher left the room opened it up took it out and plugged it back in

The kid also graduated

[strong saffron]

[charred otter]

So if another graphics card was yoinked that means he has a apprentice

Or someone found out these graphics cards are worth quite a bit

Which this pisses the graphics class off because now we have one working computer

And that's windows xp

[strong saffron]

well your teacher school done messed up

[cold elbow]

Computers here locked with a key

[strong saffron]

same. even at university

[kindred temple]

in here its just inconveniently packed down below the student desks

or just have parts thats so undesirable

its a high risk-low reward robbery

[charred otter]

I know

And i have no idea if the teacher even found out about it either

[civic cloud]

Same and the room has a camera

[jovial tide]

oops, mistake

[analog wharf]

windows xp is legendary lol

[royal sundial]

Typescript over javascript?

[fervent granite]

AppleScript

[strong saffron]

TrumpScript

[arctic yarrow]

Fun fact, you have to use division if you want to use a value under 1 million because it will error out if you use a value under that amount.

Also, there are no floats, only integers.

[slender trellis]

Windows 8 needs to die already

[fervent granite]

It's not already dead?

[slender trellis]

Oh crap nvm it died on January 2016

I despise that OS because of what Microsoft did to the UI until Windows 10 finally fixed everything that 8 ruined.

[fervent granite]

I think 8.1 is still getting security updates

[unreal iron]

@brave field this dude be looking for a bot mirror and is willing to pay you in exposure

I just pinged him

Bruh

He will close the entire server

[jovial tide]

yes he will

nerd

This was very dumb

your talking in tech coding math

[unreal iron]

Wow rude. Literally the nerds chNnel

[jovial tide]

im on pc too

[charred otter]

Smh my head

[jovial tide]

get a pc

we'll 1v1

then come pvp me

[charred otter]

Smh

[jovial tide]

so play gtao and wait to get clapped

[unreal iron]

Go to #gta-online if that's what yall wanna talk

[jovial tide]

im just joking

lmao

[echo mural]

anyone familiar with scaling issues on laptops? this laptop has 125% scaling but it makes some apps and texts blurry as hell, but going to 100% makes said apps too small, and i cant find a good fix

[unreal iron]

Cookie can help with botmaking here if that's what you need

[charred otter]

Hit reset to default?

Make one bro

It's pretty easy

[unreal iron]

I thought it was just a slider? It only jumps straight to 125?

[jovial tide]

well i've been having the same lately, but after a few seconds itll stop being blurry

for me

[charred otter]

https://tenor.com/view/thats-some-funny-shit-thats-funny-thats-hilarious-thats-amusing-entertainment-gif-15029335

[unreal iron]

Nobody here plays gta or wants that as payment lmao

[jovial tide]

what the fuck are you doing here tehn

its gta online discord server

this hurts my brain

[charred otter]

You guys think because we are in the GTAO server we actually play gtao?

[unreal iron]

Hmm yeah that's weird

[charred otter]

https://tenor.com/view/sleepy-sleep-tired-gif-23864645

[lost fossil]

if you think that the majority of people in a gta online server actually play gta online you're dead wrong

[unreal iron]

Qt the top there

[charred otter]

I wonder how long it would've taken them

[unreal iron]

ayyy cookie here

[jovial tide]

no we play sims

[charred otter]

YOU DO

i play sims aswell

[unreal iron]
