oneplus ssarted strong then became another overpriced brand imo

many more new chinese flagship killer brands atm

oneplus is the tech version of this

Hopefully they take notes & listen to the criticism they've received collectively from all reviewers and fix the problems, otherwise it's essentially a dead brand.

I was trying to build a pc i wanna buy when i have enough money would someone take a look if the parts would be competible with each other

lilac heath
jovial tide
#

At the very least, I'd invest in a CPU cooler as the 5600x may run slightly hot @cyan shoal

#

And I would look for a case with more ventilation than the h510 to maximise airflow to the hot parts of the PC

#

As for the 980 pro ssd, I'd go with the 970 Evo plus instead as it has a DRAM cache but idk if a DRAM cache is 100% beneficial for all use cases so just stay with your 980 pro.

Someone else will surely find something you could probably change, add, or remove

cyan shoal
#

@jovial tide thx for the tips will look into it

#

And the one i wrote down was an normal 980 should i stay with that or 970 evo plus

I think net user works but haven't tried on the latest builds, I follow the rules now and use TPM/Secure boot in my VMs OkayChamp

#

Fuck you microsoft visual studio not responding

#

Depending on how game companies react to the steam deck, I might convert my primary OS to a linux distro and use proton for gaming.

Cuz fuck M$ for some of the bullshit they're pulling with windows.

#

when i installed w11 in november i was able to create an offline account just fine

#

all u gotta do is unplug the cable during installation and until you see the desktop

arctic yarrow
#

I still want to migrate away from windows eventually, since I've also had issues with windows defender doing shit without my permission (re-enabling active protection, deleting exe files I create, etc).

#

I'm actually planning on migrating to a linux distro when summer comes so I have time to sort out all my files and shit.

#

I'll probably dual-boot with windows 10 for those times when proton fails me.

analog wharf

#

I was thinking of going with Zorin OS since that appears to be a similar UI to what I'm used to.

#

IK, not very "techy" of me, but I prefer a GUI over a terminal for my main driver.

analog wharf
#

Lol, you can always install a DE or one of those shitty wm

#

never really liked the window managers, a de looks much nicer

#

If I do switch to Linux I'll be using Artix Linux for sure

#

Basically Arch without systemd tbh

arctic yarrow
arctic yarrow
#

How's the performance on it compared to running it natively?

#

I can see myself using a VM to play Halo if performance is good, since proton doesn't work on it yet.

#

Well, I guess I'd better upgrade my processor (which I plan on doing anyway when ryzen 7000 releases).

#

Currently running a 7700k, so I guess I could dedicate 2 or 3 cores if I'm going to do some gaming in a VM, however performance will not be as great.

#

True, maybe dual-booting would be better.

#

Just waiting for Valve to get game devs to develop for linux or at least provide proton compatibility.

analog wharf
#

Possible but games that actually run will run at like 5 fps

arctic yarrow
#

I did some more reading, and found Valve is actively working on Halo proton compatibility, so that's one thing crossed off.

Yo can some1 help, I just got my PC like a week ago and I just managed to fix my idle GPU temp but now my CPU temp is averaging 36C to 62C when idle, does any1 know how to lower this??

who

Im so confused

#

Is it the fan speeds or sumthing?

#

yea

uneven grove
#

Its a big range but thats what it shows me when I run MSI afterburner

#

Im just worried that my CPU is overheating

analog wharf
uneven grove
#

My GPU is absolutely fine now so idk if its cooling

uneven grove
uneven grove
#

Like it fluctuates quite a bit

analog wharf
#

Avg temp?

#

I mean like the current temp

#

o ok

uneven grove
#

Yeah a little bit, goes to 32C then to 48, and then back to 40

analog wharf
#

Honestly 40C idle would be ok if it was solid 40C instead of fluctuating alot

#

Taskmgr doesnt show cpu temp afaik

uneven grove
#

Ill send in DMS

analog wharf
#

Nah send ss here

#

Unless it's something very intensive running in the background which is suspicious

uneven grove
#

But stilll running high

#

I can red out the numbers but cant send SS, can I sshow u in DMs?

analog wharf
#

send task mgr ss in here

uneven grove
plucky raft

Low level

analog wharf
#

Send in dm then

uneven grove
analog wharf
#

ehh 30-40c is ok when idle for most cpus tbh

#

But his is fluctuating alot lol

#

Yes

uneven grove
#

Could it be my fan setings for my CPU?

analog wharf
#

Idk

#

How loud is it

uneven grove
analog wharf
#

2 web browsers or 2 tabs?

#

Bruh why you using both google chrome an edge @uneven grove

#

Using just 1 browser is alot better tbh and edge is still shit anyways

#

Idk if mani is actually changing fan speed rn, maybe he is checking if that works

uneven grove
analog wharf
#

lmao

civic cloud

Change the fan curve that it only really kicks in after 60 degrees

Ryzen CPU likes to get hot for a few secs when loading yt

Is that an LGA775 motherboard?

I'm a little curious.

I'd like to know what the specs are on it.

unkempt drift
#

Uh

#

16 gigs of ram, i7-377034, gt 1030

#

and then that motherboard I would have to google

arctic yarrow
#

3770 isn't too terrible. Granted it's a decade old at this point, but it can still game on modern titles provided it's paired with a good gpu.

#

I'd say the max gpu you'll want to go with is a 1070 if you're playing at 1080p.

unkempt drift
#

I don’t use this pc anymore

#

I was just seeing if I could get it to work again

plucky raft

Wish i have a 3770

unkempt drift

I guess you could use it as a home server if you wanted to.

You could keep the 1030 around for troubleshooting if your main rig doesn't have onboard graphics.

I don’t think so?

Then its garbage

unkempt drift

It was just a normal 1030

arctic yarrow

Yeah, best to keep it around as a video adapter in case your main gpu has problems and you don't have onboard graphics.

unkempt drift
#

tru

arctic yarrow

Or use it in a home server.

and it only has 3gb vram anyways

As far as you can tell is the motherboard fried?

unkempt drift

I still think it wouldn't be a bad idea to set it up as a home server, provided there's not any major issues with it.

what would I even use it fo

brave field
#

would you feel comfortable copy/pasting and throwing the new text in? HTML is plaintext, you can do it in notepad if you wish

#

If you'd prefer a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get)editor, then by all means, they'll be worthwhile since they usually cover the server/backend for you too

unreal iron
#

Throwing new text in? Just opening console and typing something in?

#

I might look into that wysiwyg later

brave field
#

I explained super poorly, sorry

Adding new lines in the style of the important text line is:
-opening the file in notepad
-copy/pasting the whole SOME IMPORTANT TEXT line
-replacing the text on the inside with what you want

Is it possible to replace on a laptop?

Use Intel's XTU to undervolt ur cpu

lunar anvil
lunar anvil
#

core multipliers are 45,44,43,42,41,40 and cpu locks itself to 40 on all cores to be more clear

visual lily
#

Cool

cold elbow
lunar anvil
#

also if i use throttlestop to override this process

#

will there any problems except thermal throttling?

#

like 45,44,43,43,43,43

cold elbow
#

That is called overclocking and you probably wont be able to do that...
Turbo boost on the other hand highly dependent on temperature, so it will boost higher if you have lower temperatures and that's why most laptop users prefer undervolting.

jovial tide
#

Pretty sure yes

#

Well it's supported but I don't think many games have implemented it

#

Easy Anti Cheat

cold elbow
#

Probably not

lunar anvil
#

so i need better cooling solutions

cold elbow
#

Isnt it a laptop?

lunar anvil
#

yes and i already undervolted it

cold elbow
#

Alright

#

Laptops are soo tightly integrated package to be tinkered with
Even if you somehow managed to provide better cooling system you might be facing power limit.
And if you after gaming all core overclock is not idea.

lunar anvil
#

so any outside cooler would help me get higher clock speeds?

#

i know outside coolers don't do much as the inside ones but still any hope?

jovial tide
#

More headroom, it won't give you higher clock speeds unless your clock speeds were throttled by thermals before the cooling upgrade

lunar anvil
#

my warranty is already void

#

i will replace the thermal paste and clean it a bit

cold elbow
#

removing the backlid can be worse than keeping it because in a lot of laptops it cools other components

#

yeah works

#

@lunar anvil also why you need more clock speed?

jovial tide
#

Better performance in League of Legends

#

duh

cold elbow
#

when I owned a shitty gaming laptop i downclocked the CPU to get more FPS because it was bottlenecked by the graphics card.

lunar anvil

so *boid->flockSize is the same as **boid.flocksize? what does that even do hmmm

it dereferences the boid pointer into a structure I can work with and the dereferences the flocksize into an int, I can again work with

My LAN is a bit of a hashed together mess, with a tplink ax1600 router being used as my primary router to replace a linksys wrt1900ac that was (temporarily) bricked, and that's hooked up to a plume mesh system set up in AP mode I got from my job for free.

True. Then again, I'm surprised all this residential equipment is all working properly.

In fact, don't buy the Orbi systems. There's a firmware bug for the past 6 months that cause improper DHCP renewal, requiring a powercycle every 2 hours.

Hello, I'm using this router to try to port forward things for Internet Streaming for Moonlight, will this work?

Have you tried Moonlight?

arctic yarrow

No, but you should be able to port forward for it on that device.

Make sure the device you're using is also set up for static ip, or set up a DHCP lease for it inside the gateway config.

would a wd green ssd be slower than a 7200 hdd?

brave field

fixed, nice

#

wd green is "bad" for not having DRAM and reliability complaints, but it isn't hard drive-level.
The <1TB models for SN350 are all TLC or SLC, and the QLC models are still better (barring usual QLC problems). SATA WD Green almost always costs more than Blue.

fervent granite
#

basically I'm trying to see if it would be feasible to upgrade my xbox's hdd with an ssd

#

since it's only sata 2 there'd be no point in spending extra for a high quality drive, so I was wondering if a green drive would suffice

arctic yarrow
#

Yeah, it would be better than a hdd, even if there isn't any dram cache

jovial tide
#

Isn't dram only for durability or is there something more it does

#

Very confusing thing

arctic yarrow
#

dram improves performance by caching frequently used data.

jovial tide
#

So go with dram when possible

arctic yarrow
#

for performance, yeah.

jovial tide
arctic yarrow
#

for a sata 2 interface you may not see the difference between dram and no dram. sata 3 is different.

#

This doesn't apply to John's question, but newer NVMe DRAMless SSDs can use HMB to access system memory for the memory address table. This wouldn't be as fast as having an SSD with DRAM on it, but would be faster than running a DRAMless SSD on SATA.

Try resetting your CMOS on the motherboard. The quick and dirty way is to remove the CMOS battery, unplug the power cord, then push the power button.

Put the CMOS battery back in then plug the power in afterwards.
