surely if you're poor enough to need a credit card because you just keep taking loans then you should be good when it comes to expired credit cards
i meant debit cards anyway
Who the fuck uses Credit Cards outside of the US of A

hello
i currently have i5 4690k 16gb ram
@lost fossil why laugh at me
and not help
i just dont get it
i add a
while i think of the possible options 
wat?
skylake?:
idk if i will even upgrade my pc is just a bit old
tbh i don't think 300 is gonna cut it for cpu, ram and mobo especially since you already have 16 gb
ye but its ddr3 ram
a good hypothetical mobo is 80-100
a good hypothetical cpu is like 200-250
and then u also need ram
i got my whole pc for 350
yes but that was old tech that someone would've otherwise dumped in a landfill
Honestly at best he could do a 3600 with B450 combo and get ebay special SK Hynix DDR4
trying to install win 10 on 1gb goes wrong

lol
i had to manual install
and then i realised i fucked up when i checked notepad to open explorer window and it said 0 bytes free
only 1 gigs of ram ?
u can ?
just clear some place bro 
wait
i got the welcome screen
trying not to get my hopes up too much tho
nope still got the error

hmm
i wonder how small the efi partition can go
bruh
BSOD
in windows pe
i've never had that happen before
better just live boot it then
nah
ok i managed to bcdboot
lets try get through the registry without another bsod lol
shit got an error again
oobe windeploy wont work i guess
so many free services beg for account information
Jira + Confluence, ESXi, HackerRank/HTB/Leetcode
Signing up to get experience, and then having your passwords leaked. Conveniently, these security-first companies always store in plaintext, so your super secure 5 word passphrase is toast!
why is this so common?
i wasnt wrong
how do you even have a 1gb drive lmfao
vm
what about 1.5 
Adding a dummy variable declaration to my C code makes it work like its supposed to and doesn't if I comment it out... is this some memory weirdness in C or am I going crazy 
windeploy seems to work now
nvm
i'll just hope its a random error it seemed to get through most of it
bsod
another bsod
rip lol

Code in question. The input file has 50 images but it will only recover 2 if line 25 is commented out/removed. Recovers all 50 with it.
We all do
I have uninstalled rockstar games launcher and when i try to download it again it does not come with social clubs so im fucked

did you clean install?
like everytime you make a jump like this you have to select clean install
custom -> clean install
i did
you should be good
sees jay's latest upload
ok so hear me out
we need a built in an nzxt h1 with that asus z690 motherboard and an evga 3090 all powered by a gigabyte power supply
Why so you want to burn your house down
a creative way to start a house fire
Or kill a 3090
It's just everything doesn't work when I'm switched to a high level that I personally don't have
I think
Two times I couldn't hear or speak
I only heard the stream audio but no one talking
what are you using
phone?
Yeah phone
Ah makes sense thank you
still not working...
capturing 256x256x32
your settings, what are they?

that happened to me too
wtf are these people talking about and why so many number and nerdy things
they are smart people
is this a good show to watch ?
yeah

gonna watch all of the seasons tomorrow
hopefully
only 10 episodes for season 1
it'll probably take 1-2 days tbh
yea but its over 40 mins for 1 ep i think
Anybody know some cool white pc cases
I like the H510
airflow memers will complain about the front panel but if you're not running a 3080ti or above with a 5800x, its nowhere close to being problematic
its beautiful, minimalist, and has USB-C!
Thx 
Fractal meshify c in white?
Yeah I had it on my on my list
I decided to go for the uhm
O11 D or something
Lian Li
It looks interesting watched some reviews
Solid choice
Getting my room renovated next year and ill be going full white cuz it looks clean
clean but basic asf and looks like a hospital
Idk Ive been brainstorming for a while and saw this pic and liked it
Or something like that
But I guess white is better than my currently yellow painted walls 
Don't get a shiny white desk
Matte all the way
You see every single fingerprint and speck of dust
On shiny
to be brutally honest, setups like this are 
first, what the local simp gauss said
second, all these lights are a major distraction
third, your desk aint never gonna be so free of clutter
don't ask how i know 
Ok thanks for the feedback Imma see what will fit but idk I find the light cool maybe not that many and that bright but like some under the table yk
i mean
i think it's ok to target this sort of look
but just minus all the rgb
and no gloss desk
lil shit

get 32inch monitor > multilabel monitor setup
what is multilabel 

shit 100 brands manufacture, same device; many labels (usually happens in China)
oh so badge engineering
yeh i know what you mean 
hello
i need halp
very halp
so
i got a syst virus on my pc
and i cant remove it
@lost fossil
What payloads does the malware have? @lime jay
what that
Nobody really makes viruses anymore, but I guess its possible
Is it scareware? Ransomware? Spyware?
What sort of things is it doing to your system, I mean
it was freezing my screen
then it unfreezed
there was major delay
its trying to hurt my cpu
What happens when you do a Windows Defender scan?
That's very likely part of the problem with your performance while looking for it
Do a Windows defender scan
Press the start button, type "security," and press enter
open threat protection and start the scan
i did that earlier
the thingy is bypassing it
i need pic perms
ill show u somthing
that its detected
u can remove after
upload to an image hosting site
where
imgur or such, or dm it so I can post it here for you
okay, I see
the program you're using to detect everything looks like its malware itself
but
more than half of your detections are GTA cheats and injectors for them
I don't see anything related to what usually would be bundled from improperly pirating games
The others I see are the sort of things you get with software packages
we share pc
The only non-cheat things here are the files in the last picture you showed, and those are in your own user folders
from tryin gto download fnaf security breach
honestly at this point I'd just wipe the whole thing
yes
😦
gta took so long to download
and fortnite
It can be salvaged but your OS install will likely never be the same unless the malware hasn't deleted shadow copies and your system's restore points
wait
is there anyway
i can save certain files
i want to keep my steam gta and discord
and fortnite
sure, it looks like none of those are actual viruses, so they likely don't spread
If they have found ways to mess with Steam or the game files, then you're going to be bringing the problems with you into your next Windows install
regardless, you need to stop the malware first
how
bro you really out here charging money for creading discord servers when you don't even know basic internet security practices
;-;
get rid of that program that looks like its malware itself, use Windows Defender, do a full scan, and then follow it up with a second-opinion scanner
i forgot about that
Yes you'll lose your cheats but they shouldn't be stored the way they were either
the thing is it wont let me delete it
nvm im wiping this pc
how to do it
grab an 8gb or larger USB drive and this https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows10
hmm
sketchy
not that
i ment cooki
im just wiping htis
and hope none of the malware currently on your PC can stop or modify the download
grab an 8gb or larger USB drive and this https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows10
Run the media creation tool, choose the option to make a bootable USB
When its finished, boot into your BIOS and choose to boot into the USB
Then follow the reinstall instructions
technically there's a chance it'll leave traces of the malware in a windows.old folder, but eh
well, that's really the only reliable way to wipe it fully
do i have to use usb
Windows does have a built-in reset option that works a good 35-40% of the time
Try this, starting at number 3, in case you do have a system restore point from before the fake antivirus program was installed
If you have the restore point, revert, and then you can use Defender and attempt to disinfect things afterwards
Learn how to refresh your PC without deleting any of your personal files, reset it to its original condition, or restore it to an earlier point in time.
If that fails, use 2. 1 will be useless for this.
Windows 11, wow
I guess system restore is gone in 11? Use the reset option there, yes
oh, be prepared to have to change your passwords and use 2fa if you store passes in your web browser at all (or have discord/spotify/other electron apps installed as programs)
this is probably not the system restore that you're talking about but this one is still there
!ban 712719183825338460 phishing
Banned ⚡KILLUA⚡🧀#8898 (Case #133905) (user notified with a direct message)
That's the one I'm talking about, yes!
I was sent a Windows 11 menu that was... even more devoid of options that 10's version
!ban 402599599526903809 phishing
Banned AndyWGaming/Lucifer#9273 (Case #133906) (user notified with a direct message)
yes
all things considered i only have 2 gripes with w11
there is no clock on secondary taskbars and you can't move the taskbar to the top without doing some shenanigans
I hate the thing
if it works ill download discord and tell u
i also didn't vibe with the new start menu so i had to get start11
I'm going to use 10 until it dies (or until M$ spams it with upgrade notifications)
30%
after that, Qubes or Debian more than likely
i dont got long
can't stand 11
my windows 11 is all pink and shit
bro
so it is a bit gay 
my reseting is taking for ever to download
i don't think resetting is gonna do anything
find an 8gb drive and a bro with a computer and download windows 10 there
46%
cya guys 🙂
its still doing
its about to

HELP THE VRIUS IS DOING IT
MY CPU IS AT 100 NOW
CYA GUYS ITS ON 97%
BYEE
100% bye
Hey @brave field
?
I'm on my phone
Win 11 has restore point, but it's not on by default
Depends on the specs I think
The MOST UNSTABLE WINDOWS VERSION yet doesn't have restore points on
I think I'm gonna faint, oh gosh
I like the 11 Cookie
It's been very nice to me both on that Alienware laptop, and on this PC
Wait so ur saying windows 11 could be helping cause this problem
Will is that a Nitro 5?
Looks like a new nitro 5 laptop
well no, in your case, you have >20 paid cheats, some fake chrome hijacking, what looks to be spyware, and then have installed a fake antivirus malware to get rid of it
11 isn't malicious in itself, its just bad
Honestly, resetting it right away is a good idea
false positives may be true positives in that case
Those malicious programs can steal lots of your (sometimes very important) data
Malwarebytes would have helped
All they gonna find is the hub
and your discord and roblox and steam, if its programmed for it
possibly your home address, possibly useful things to advertise to you with, possibly payment info
Now you gotta find your laptop model
The exact model to install all the right drivers again
Shit I do to
And good news is it's gonna run much faster than before
Fuck yes
What they gonna do kill me
no, but malware authors can be very annoying. They will 100% profit off you if given the chance
They will send dildos to my house
Also, yes Cookie's right, if you're unlucky there might be malware in your recovery partition installing with the windows right now 
Which windows
The one being reinstalled
eg. being part of a Mirai botnet and having your public ipv4 permanently banned by certain companies (which I think is the reason for all the people in #gta-tech-support having to use VPNs to sign into the social club site)
It's taking for ever
Its going to take long, that's normal.
Cookie most of them don't have it
They just happen to be in or near some possibly (maybe not) malicious network
CGNAT is a pain too. Would not be surprised if it was a part of the problem.
DDoS protection in general has horrible efficiency
"Lets just give 200 people the same 5 public ipv4 addresses to share and hope nobody messes up, what could go wrong?"
Well ipv4's limited
pointless rant over
Also, those ddos protection services ban thousands of IP addresses at times
Done
malware is bad, and you have a lot going on, so you should still secure your accounts after this
Imagine Youtube's AI's R word son on crack trying to block networks
I hope we can get semi-universal ipv6 soon
Same
Will right after you get into windows, go get intel driver & support assistant ok?
Every time ipv6 goes wrong, its because someone like Japan goes "lol, okay entire country, you have 6 hours to move to ipv6, have fun" and then it collapses, and Western media complains about it

Governments don't really care
The standards are there, but enforcement takes a lot of energy, money, and power. they don't care about it.
not caring is fine, and I think not trying to force it like some governments did is a good thing
A country like Iran (& others looking at it from a security lens) would make an entire isolated network connected to the internet with their own controlled routers instead of IPv6
but there absolutely should be some more effort. A lot of services already run with ipv6 usable, and just disabled
~~ I just want the constant spam from probing bots to leave me and my ISP-provided router and Inspiron 3647 server alone~~
China, Iran, Russia, and some others that I don't know can disconnect the whole country and make it an intranet when they want
You can easily block it
I used this back in the day https://www.gfi.com/products-and-solutions/network-security-solutions/kerio-control
A next gen firewall you can run both on its device, or on a VM
Protect your network from viruses, malware and malicious activity with Kerio Control, the easy-to-administer yet powerful all-in-one security solution
I'm using cloudflare for my https port and my domain, NGINX + fail2ban for anyone directly sending requests to the server itself, and my poor, sad router for the entire rest of the network
still getting 60-80+ different requests on all common ports per 15 minutes
That small nextgen firewall blocks all of those
every ipv4 address the planet can have is already known, so they're attacking everything in range
everyone with ipv4 enabled is being attacked, even with nothing forwarded
they wanna know who's online, they're everywhere
so the solution is easy, just convert the entire world to ipv6, to buy us all a few weeks of peace
until the probing programs get better, and are autofilling all 419 quadrillion or however many as possible
I want to wake up one day and not see a single Drop Unknown Incoming Packet from the past night
lol but does it matter though
It's like a cosmic ray it's probably not gonna do anything; until it does
not really, but I do have some very strange messages in the system logs in my router, so its very possible it actually is vulnerable, and some of these messages are the equivalents of "hello world" running
I have a whole bunch of "No such file or directory" and "get_parameter: failed" in logs, which I know is entirely common and I'm just paranoid, but still...
Hmmm
You definitely need a nextgen firewall then
It's gonna worry for you; instead of you worrying
That's going to have to sit behind my router/modem combo though, no?
The address is part of that, it'll still have to go through that before it can get to any of my machines or networking hardware
As a VM no
You can just dedicate one or two nics to it and use it as your edge (I guess?) router to inspect, filter and deny packets
I
I put the VM up, gave it one ethernet connection (to ISP) and the other virtual to my other servers; then connected all the employees with its VPN application to internet
Yeah it's that
it took a while
so what I'd need is to... connect my VM's NIC DIRECTLY to the fiber lines to avoid the router/modem sucking?!
i was spending half the time
And then the green box gets connected to others
Well the one I know, Kerio, supports pretty much everything
Even PPPoE and connecting to other VPN servers
Use windows defender and do a full scan
what about window security
That is windows defender
@jovial tide thanks
I'm going to keep trying to get my hands on this chinese LGA2011-3 board if I can get it shipped faster
Oh you wanna make that a server?
I've been meaning to replace everything with pfsense and go ipv6 only for a while, and more opinions is helping me look into more research
corona?!?!?
jk
currently trying to haggle a Dell R720 down from $386 to $130 lol
yes
Cause if it doesn't, 4to6 is not gonna help you much
Also, you should consider using a VPN for the whole network if the server's not publicly available
Drivers, what happened to them
send the links i dont want to get scammed by a fake website
I can't, I don't even know your laptop model
of course
its free as long as you unsubscribe in time
when my mum gets home im asking
Oh Cookie, idk if it's Quebec, Canada or everywhere
Both discord, and xbox game pass have cancel renewal options for me
I activated, and instantly disabled renewal without any problems.
Discord has it and its a little hidden. Less hidden than Nintendo's. Can't say I know how Xbox is currently, but it was straightforward in 2010
should still be opt-in instead of opt-out but meh
So I bought the game pass 3 months for 2$, upgraded it to ultimate for 1.15$ extra and then turned off recurring billing
u should give it to me ;-;
It might be just Quebec though, they have strict subscription rules; so much that you can't even buy Spotify premium in here.
I bought it from some east european game key sales website
i found pc game pass
its 1$ for 3 months
wait
i have 1$
hehe boy
when my mum gets home i asking her
back
i swear nans are so nice
Plugging in the power – or at least what you think is power – to a USB-C powered laptop can connect your computer, and the valuable personal data on it, directly to hackers. Your personal financial information, passwords and documents stored on the laptop could help a cybercriminal steal yo
🤨
The author is much more concerned with getting people to fight the EU than the attacks themselves
The problems they mention aren't USB-C problems
USB-C was probably one of the best thing that happened recently
But what about Gen 3.69 4x20
Things were so nice
Almost as nice as you :D
who decided to retroactively rename USB 3 and 3.1 out of nowhere like that
HUH?
Thanks friend 
You're much nicer, however!
hehe
Well C is more like it
You get whole lot more than just data transfer & power through it
Networking, display
HDMI, Displayport, even ethernet all have 4-5+ officially supported uses, but nobody retroactively renames cat5e to cat7.9 gen4x2
Arash, how are you today? @jovial tide
Not bad Cookie, I'm a bit angry nowadays
My work permit's wrongfully denied saying I don't meet the criteria; now I have to get letters and a new lawyer to prove they made a mistake.
Kind of annoying, but hey it's never a right to get something like this in a foreign country; so it is what it is.
Hope you get it resolved soon Arash :)
Thank you ❤️
So, PFSense is it like a widely used platform for enterprise firewalls?
I believe OPNsense is used more often, but yeah, for smaller businesses where they set it themselves instead of hiring someone else to handle that
Don't they use like hardware firewalls?
The college I went to used fortinet
Not just for one places, every college everywhere in Canada under the name used it and was centrally managed.
oh yeah
education systems seem to really like outsourcing it
same sort of setup for where I went, different company
They don't outsource it I think, they just don't have IT in each campus
They have lower level IT but no one really configures anything other than the main IT department in the country
interesting
Seems efficient
I have a question guys
so
I am doing this project I have selected augmented reality in education, and one to look into the privacy and ethical issue in AR App. BUT there is not enough data
it is augmented reality "applications"
anyone?
sheesh
2+2=6, debate me.
Lynx | Digital Storm Configurator
Is this good for first time pc player who mainly plays sport games and gta
That's the link to the configurator itself, not what you've chosen
Need the configuration code to view anything
Either way we would reject it
because Digital Storm and Redux practices should not be condoned with a purchase
delayed shipping of finished system, nonconsensual backorder, zero quality assurance for those who arent buying the flagship, lackluster afterpurchase services
you left off charging $2000+ for 3600X + 3060 systems
If they're having an 90% off sort of deal, I think shipping and all can be put to the side, though

How do I start ssh-agent on windows?
need to enable and set the service to manual or automatic in services.msc
after that, then you'll be able to use the ssh-agent commands or connect from another machine
something like this in services.msc, set to manual or auto and start it
I did it, but I still cant add my ssh key
supposedly the service hasn't fully started or the ssh key shortcut isn't set in PATH. Either of these help?

Does anybody know how to use the discord overlay feature
Shift + `
You can enable it in discord settings and use it
i have it enabled but the keybinding never works
I am on mobile but it doesn't let me enable it
It's not for cellphones
I load up the settings and it says it will slow my phone and keeps it off
The keybinding always works; your keyboard layout is probably different
You can always bind it to something else if you like; Alt + Ctrl + 4 for example
It says mobile voice overlay and takes me to my actual settings, my phone won't let me enable it
Dude it's not made for cellphones
Oh I just realized PCs are also mobile my bad
you mean call bubble overlays?
android or apple?
Android
Phones settings > apps > discord > appear on top > Allow
then go to discord and enable the overlay
@jovial tide 
I don't have a appear on top setting
send a pic of the discord app settings screen (actual settings one, not discord) probably in dm though, because you're not level 5 to send media yet
In certain phone its in security
Because overlay can have access to your other app process
Yeah iirc xiaomeme does that lol
lol
That will give the phone cancer*
symptoms are much more battery usage and slower phone
s21 ultra 
well you can then xd that's a baller phone

All it does for me is it takes half an inch round off my screen

Lighthouse is fine
Finally realized how much heat it kicks in lmao
Because my AC is dead
Looks like the thermistor finally fully gave up
I've upgraded from 3500X (6c/6t) to 5600X (6c/12t) and despite the fact that they both have TDP of 65W, 5600X runs hotter in games and the fan is at 100%. When I alt tab from the game, the temperature drops by 5-10 degrees within a minute. PBO is enabled. Can someone like reassure me that everything's fine?
Or help me understand at least
Is it possible that cleaning off thermal paste left some tiny bits of residue (I did do it thoroughly though) and weakened the efficiency of the cooler? Or maybe I applied bit more paste
?!?!?!?!?!?!????
Im super confused
unless you use like, cake icing
you can wipe off thermal paste with any fluid
And a bit of accidental extra thermal paste compared to previous application does not affect anything
idk maybe it was a little bit better factory new
TDP isn't a direct measurement of power use or heat output. PBO and any other overclocking goes far above the clock speeds and voltage they determine TDP with.
5600X with PBO being hotter than the 3500X is very normal.
tdp is like
how much cooler would you need to run the cpu at base spec with no enhancements of any kind
TDP is a way of CPU companies' marketing departments lying to you
They don't even release something like X(+Y) or give maximum standard value

Is it worth giving my 1070 plus 300$ for a 2070?
decent performance jump but I absolutely would not
1070 is already plenty capable, wait it out and get a 4060 ti or whatever in 2-3 years
Kind of out of my budget. I was looking for a 2-300$ ugrade on my build
It doesn't exist yet
I mean it will be, when it comes out, considering the prices of the current generation
@viral gyro This 2070 is used, yeah?
Yes. But so is my 1070 (It's 3 years old now and out of warranty).
ah, likely similar age then
I think it might be better to go for a 3060 ti or 3070 if you could go without your GPU for a week and feel you really HAVE to upgrade soon
used 1070s are selling for some $500-$600 (USD) right now
In my country 1070s go for like 400. And I payed for mine around 500$ when it was new.
And that guy has the 2070 listed for like 800$
oh, what country/currency?
Romania
1070s going for the equivalent of $400 USD (conversion doesn't account for market/economy/cost of living) is a steal!
but I suppose that might kill off my idea of maybe going for a 3060ti or 3070 when they come into stock for a short period of time
wouldn't trade for that 2070 still, even after a bit of research on GPU pricing in Romania. $300 is high
If I could negotiate it down to 200-250 would it be worth it?
Or is it still a no?
I mean, I don't mind waiting for another deal but the 1070 sometimes feels like isn't enough
200 is better but still just feels bad going for a trade like that right now
Maybe you could give me advice on another upgrade I could do for around 2-300$ on my build, if that trade isn't worth it
Now i got a Ryzen 5 1600, GTX 1070, 16gb DDR4 2133mhz, 4tb HDD, 250gb m.2, 650w psu and a b450 motherboard.
In what software is the 1070 struggling, and are any other components struggling at the same time while using it?
include per-core CPU usage
i know the gpu market is fucked but I found a guy selling a asus 2060 for $515 shipped
is that a good price for the time being?
I have a rx 580 im trying to replace
not worth imo
There was a 3060 drop for around that price yesterday, if in the US or Canada
If that's Australian dollars or someone else who has the $ symbol, maaaybe
true I think I will wait
🎉 debugged a small issue on my own
Did not have an int main rather put the bool in its spot
Moved the bool down and added the int main now it works perfectly fine
So either the book I'm reading is outdated or it expects you to know everything runs through the int main (yes it said it early on)
My power supply fan makes noise when i start the computer
It goes away after few minutes so should i be concerned about it?
im so dam bored
fan noise as in ramps up to full speed at startup? thats normal
Yeah, that's normal. It means thermal monitoring hasn't kicked in and it defaults to highest RPM.
yeah the pwm in the motherboard is yet to start. it will go down to normal in a few seconds after that

FIRST PSU, THEN MOTHERBOARD, THEN CASE
NOW MONITORS?
It means your PSU fan is starting to die because of the lack of lubricant.
Don't try to open a PSU because it's dangerous, see if someone can fix it for you.
dont open your PSU unless you want to kill yourself 🤝
Just RMA entirely 🤝
Asking the pros here, just curious, what happens if ya tamper with ur pc PSU? Why yall say is dangerous? Can some1 explain on detail? I want a better answer than "it will explode" or whatever.
Capacitors can hold charge for a long time
In high voltage
Thats scary AF. How much electric power can it discharge at once?
They should be afraid because not everyone own a modern PSU and not all PSUs are of good quality
and how does your average pc builder make sure its fully discharged? dont fuck around if you dont 100% know what youre doing
I wont, im just learning from yall what happens, so i can actually avoid that shit.
U should watch GN video about it, even they advise an expert to do it.
And to think I was thinking to tamper with mine a few months back, shit im soo happy tgat my work kept me busy now sad laugh

Just dont mess with any type of power supply even the one in your console.
I def wont now. I dont wamt to get zapped.
450V!?
Thats more than enough to strike your heart
You dont take bets even on safety features
Just because your cars have airbags doesnt mean you can take off your seatbelts
Just because your penis is small doesnt mean you dont need an underwear
🤨
Doesn't holding the power button for 30 seconds discharge the capacitors in the PSU? 
Nope
Again, you can never tell
Tbvh the grace time is fully unplugged and off the system
For 48h or more
And even then there's so few consumer safe components you can replace
what does holding the power button for 30 secs do then? I remember reading it discharged... something
i see
Nu
Erm
like any old electricians tester pen
Not even i have one 
Most PC builders arent expected to have test pen in hand
Lotta power

Looks like a spell to transfer it into an e waste
Lol
Lol
Wot
.
Wut
.
Wot
Sorry that i pinged you melon btw
Yeah and who the fuck has that?
Nuwu
lol
D:
That tool is so shit
please don't ever use that to measure voltage
It's like the written rule of electrician, that right there is garbage tool
It's not used to measure voltage lol
If I want to measure voltage I'll use a voltmeter lol
like using this part is already better for volt alerts
I just use the pen to measure if something has current or not, and then double check with voltmeter to make sure its safe to work on
performs the same as the pen, but with estimated measures
yeah that's sadly it's only usage, it's like a self covid test
The pen isn't a measuring tool, it's a binary 'safe' or 'not safe'
I do also have full voltmeters

gotta get a pen for $4
I mean I'm a mechanics son so 
But yeah it's not a bad tool for its intended purpose, it's quicker and less bulky than a voltmeter
Hi! Can anyone here help me with PC Parts? I'm not really experienced with those, so i wanted to ask if anyone could help me :)
I saw one on eBay
There are parts listed
But i have no real clue if they are good
Mainboard: Asus m5a78l-m/usb3
CPU: AMD FX 8350
RAM: 16gb DDR3 2133mhz
Graphicscard: MSI GeForce GTX 970
PSU: BeQuiet Pure Power 600W
CaptureCard: AverMedia live Gamer HD
Hard drive: Seagate Barracuda 500gb HDD
The pc is sold for around 300 bucks
Just need a "Worth it" or not
look just because i opened my psu to replace the fan doesn't mean i want to kill myself
who really uses ddr3 ram or ddr3 boards anymore
@neon bluff $300 is far too high
Alrighty, thank you guys
ok 16gb is nice but 2133mhz and ddr3 🤢
DDR3-era parts are still very very good, but the CPU in that PC is awful
ddr3 isnt that bad i guess but ddr4 min 2666mhz board and ram would be alot better
The FX 8350 in that machine is worse for the majority of tasks than a modern Pentium/Celeron CPU
The ram is entirely fine, really
and fx 8350 is ass
Depends on your usecase, but if its anything like gaming, you absolutely should try to shave some cash off by haggling for the GPU @neon bluff
The GPU in that system is almost $200 of that $300 price tag in the current market, but the rest of the stuff in there is worthless
the 970 will probably be alright for running old games but dont expect to be playing any modern games at max settings with that gpu @neon bluff
I just plan on playing games like Minecraft, Dead by Daylight n such
it'll look like a slowmotion
yea minecraft will run perfectly fine on a 970
Minecraft cares a lot about singlethread speeds, something the 8350 is NOTORIOUSLY awful at
So i just need to replace the CPU?
To replace the CPU, you'll have to replace the motherboard as well. With CPU prices right now, you'll be spending over $100
Mhmmmm
Then there is a different one, but that one is in German language
And it's written in a weird way, so i can't really categorize it
That CPU upgrade could be any of the 2011-2015 desktop i5s, Xeon E5-2xxx V1/V2, or, if you're able to spend more, current gen's i3-10100F, but then you'll need to buy new ram
also, this system has no SSD, so its going to be a bit sluggish in normal use
tbf that pc comes with a good capture card
SSD better than HDD
300 worth for the gpu and the capture card alone
yes
That's fair oleg
For first it was meant for streaming anyways
Its a good price for some of its parts, but as a whole system, its not going to perform super well
maybe you can resell the CPU/mobo/ram and capture card, and afford the rest of the system with that profit
at the least try to pick up a cheap sata ssd to use for a boot drive
Alrighty alrighty
- upgrade the cpu and board
I'll write that down and maybe i can get the price a little lower as well
I don't think u need to upgrade anything other than adding an ssd
Upgrading anything else wont give a noticeable impact
When prices gets better upgrade the whole pc
Thank you all for your help. I highly appreciate it! :)
that 500gb hdd will be more than enough for the games you play so you dont really need to upgrade that, a cheap sata ssd will do just fine for a boot drive, a slight cpu upgrade and the mobo
cheap x99+xeon combo on aliexpress 
I wish I pulled the trigger on one earlier
Xeon for gaming 
aliexpress siding with sellers on disputes is... scary
but with the 2660 v3 performing so close to Ryzen, its tempting
better than amd fx for gaming tbf 
^
speaking of xeon mine still hasn't arrived 
i think buying raw sand is more expensive than buying amd fx these days

Exactly 🌝
I have amd system
For 10$
the prices on these are just so wonderful https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003472614414.html
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002988276402.html 👀
Being able to throw two 10 core 3770ks on this with ram for under $200 is just unbeatable
the zeon that i bought costs less than a 5600x
meh, its not x79 power consumption at least
hard capped tdp of 145w so the power draw is not that high
i already have an x99 mobo tho 
with a turbo boost unlock the ipc should be near identical to my i7

Nerds
2630 v3 on the mATX boards is good power consumption
definitely more than a 10100f, but you also get both the board and the CPU for the price of a 10100f alone
with 1600af gaming performance
How about a used a320 with ryzen 1600/1700
1600 as fuck
1600s and 1700s are over $100 used
a320 🚮 for anything that is not a 200ge
also did u know that amd makes old A* apus for am4
There are people offering GA-AB350 Gaming 3s on HWS for $35
but you just can't get a CPU for it at a reasonable price
ga
Veryyy gud

Slap a 3500x there
Don't lie to us

In c++ are arrays x[10] for example?
Ish me again, i was able to haggle the price down to 250 bucks. More worth it?
Oh, i quoted instead of pinging
worthwhile
Not going to perform amazingly due to the CPU, but right now, the GPU alone is just over that price
a buy, imo
Great, thank you for your help again :)
Use that 50$ you got for a SATA SSD, and sell that CPU mobo and ram combo for something else entirely
maybe also the capture card if its not super beaten up
From how it looks you can sell it for about 175-225 on those combo
yes, 8350 alone is still 100 ish bucks on ebay.
Which is batshit stupid.
A barebones no power windows upgrade pack for like around 55$ extra, but i would highly discourage buying this and wait for the inevitable B660 and i5-12400F
Or the B650 and Ryzen 6500x or whatever will be their naming scheme
Hey i looked all over the internet for this couldnt seem to get a straight answer. Do keystone wallplates accept any cat rating keystone jack or are they specific? I am designing a new network for my home and I am considering wiring cat 8 for the extra couple hundred to future proof the wiring.
Is it possible for me to use my hdd on a different pc windows 10?
Well yes either way, but why would you run Windows 10 off a Hard Drive?
I mean
Get an SSD and wipe the HDD clean as a mass storage
I wanted to use my hdd on a different pc
Is it possible
Both with windows 10
I wanted to transfer some data
simple answer, yes it is possible.
I heard data gets locked or something if we run on different device
Different windows
no not really, unless someone is using bitlocker i think or some type of drive encryption but that isnt the case usually.
yes
you can just plug you hdd in other pc and it should just work.
just keep in mind, if have windows installed on that hdd then that other pc might try to boot from the hdd you plugged in.
Okay
So do I have to manually load windows from the drive already in the other pc or will it just boot up normally?
Without going into bios etc
you will see windows load normally, it will load from either one hdd and then you will see and option to pick which copy of windows you wana boot to, it can be confusing to see which one is which. you just have to try it.
whichever drive windows boots from, that drive will become the C:\ drive.
alright that, you shoulder's have any issues.
@agile siren hi
hi
There's the thing: How do you install a sata SSD. I have absolutely no experience on PCs and I'm scared to break it
That ehhh
Look
All i know about the computer is
That it has cables and they connect things😭
good enough
I will just look on YouTube

Maybe they have tutorials for that shit
Learn How to install an SSD - Step By Step Setup Guide and Windows 10 Install.
I show you how to connect and install an SSD, how to install windows 10 on it and how to install the SSD as a secondary drive.

Do i have to buy the Power Supply and the Connector separately?
damn its old enough to have different connectors lmao
does your PC turn on? then it has a power supply lol
