Yh that

scenic ferry
grizzled crow
#

they are the worse connector on the planet

charred granite
#

hmm let me have a look

#

Also, gaming all night today, no sleep

#

Let me have a look for the molex connector

scenic ferry
#

Do fans still use molex connectors these days? IK my fans still are

charred granite
#

Nope they don’t

grizzled crow
#

only cheap fans from china do

charred granite
#

lol

scenic ferry
#

Ah, fair enough. Mine are just old fans from like 2008

grizzled crow
#

or

#

old fans

charred granite
#

The only thing is, the Corsair logo is on the other side lol

scenic ferry
#

Which are broke... So I dont plug them in

charred granite
#

rip

hexed aurora
#

Even old fans didn't use molex, just cheap af fans that use molex

scenic ferry
#

Mine are cheap and old 😂

hexed aurora
#

I had fans in my 90s computer that used a 3 pin

grizzled crow
#

i always seem to break molex then rage and strip the cables and get a choc block

#

so now i rarely use them

scenic ferry
#

My CPU fan obviously uses a 3 pin, But case fans are these molex things which like I said broke.
I just keep side pannels off with no working case fans.... This is why my PC probs keeps breaking

hexed aurora
#

molex is the worst

grizzled crow
#

they should just get rid of it

#

and use sata

charred granite
#

Alright I’m just cleaning up my workspace, then gonna do some cable management clean everything up, install my lights then BOOM

#

And yh it was a great experience

#

10/10 would build again

#

Thx to tuxy and MJ for helping me as well ;)

plucky whale
#

$210

#

Canadian peso strikes again

#

$220 on amazon

#

WTF

scenic ferry
#

I thought they were meant to be like $170

#

Idk tho

plucky whale
#

in USD?

scenic ferry
#

Oh, I just read, nvm picardfacepalm

plucky whale
charred granite
plucky whale
#

#goddamn RAM prices

charred granite
#

oh lol rip, I bought my ram for 90 dollars

#

It was on sale

plucky whale
#

I live in canada too so we get jacked prices on everything

charred granite
#

The only downside, it is a little loud but all good

#

Oh rip

plucky whale
#

Just replace the stock intel heatsink

#

At some point

charred granite
#

Yeah will do

#

I’m in love with this

#

Just gonna install some drivers and we are ready to go

plucky whale
#

it's probably better than my craptop

#

and the 2200g still costs less than a 1200

#

ignoring the cost of a GPU

hexed aurora
#

Some tips @charred granite, the shroud on the right probably covers some holes, those are there to hide away cables such as the 24 pin

#

A good idea is to route cables via the closest hole so that you have them running criss-cross, unless you like that

charred granite
#

Good point

#

But the cable is really tight so

#

If I tried to pull it through the top hole it would stand out anyways

#

I mean I can try

#

Also, with the cables, it wasn’t that bad as I thought, the only tricky part was the front panel connectors which me and my dad tried to figure out for like 30 mins because the guide wasn’t the clearest in the world but then I figured out

#

But apart from that it went pretty damn smooth

#

Also, I bought a windows 10 key from amazon and it ain’t seem to be working but alright...

hexed aurora
#

superHQThink buying keys off 3rd party can be shady

#

did you buy it off Amazon or a 3rd party via Amazon?

charred granite
#

I don’t actually remember lol

#

I will check

#

Well I remember the reviews where quite good on it

#

But oh well, 25 pounds isn’t that bad to lose

#

Welp, the site looked something like this

#

And my bad, it was 20 pounds not 25

#

and well they sent me the code through email within like 50 mins

#

‘Message from 3rd party seller’

hexed aurora
#

probably either an illegally obtained key or MSDN key, both likely to get shut down once MS finds them

#

20£ for a license is far below what MS sells the keys to resellers

charred granite
#

Yeah.. they sell em for like 88-100 pounds

#

Well I guess I will just have to buy one soon then

hexed aurora
#

(depending on volume, iirc. the list price for a Windows Pro license was about 60-70$ outside of OEM)

charred granite
#

Ahh

#

But what’s the difference between windows 10 pro and home?

hexed aurora
#

Get home, you probably don't need Pro features 😛

#

they are literally professional features, ie. hyper-v, WSL, etc.

charred granite
#

Yeah I will do :p

#

Oh

#

I won’t use them anyways lol

hexed aurora
#

yeah, exactly :p

#

if you need those features, you'd know you needed pro and wouldn't have asked what the difference is even 😛

charred granite
#

Exactly :)

#

I don’t do anything with windows really, I just need a simple operating system and that’s really it

#

Just gaming and school work

hexed aurora
#

You need to run your games and browser I guess 😛

charred granite
#

Yeah but xD

#

Home can do that ;)

hexed aurora
#

yup

charred granite
#

I guess I will get going, installing games and stuff

#

Nice talking to u :)

charred granite
#

Thx will check it out

marble forge
#

I got my win 10 pro license for 4€ 🤔

#

I bought one for a friend and my dad bought it as well, works fine 🤷

charred granite
#

lol wow

#

also, do i need these programs on my pc?

#

it's so sad that i just got my pc and it already has broken registory items and stuff :(

#

but yh.. do i need these programs or can i uninstall them?

hexed aurora
marble forge
#

I dunno about updatelibrary but you can get rid of OneDrive

hexed aurora
#

You shouldn't uninstall those programs, but you can disable them from startup

charred granite
#

aha right

#

also, i did buy avast internet security so..

#

that is annoying

marble forge
#

Windows defender will do the job lol

hexed aurora
#

Sophos home is far superior than Avast in every way

charred granite
#

yeah i will check it out but basically i just wasted money

#

because if im not gonna use avast then

hexed aurora
#

Windows Defender is alright if you have a clue, but if you don't you want something with a bit more beef, sophos actually knows what the heck they are doing

marble forge
#

Maybe you can refund it?

charred granite
#

i will see

#

and yeah ok

#

thx

marble forge
#

I used to use Kaspersky that was pretty as well but I stopped using it because I just didn't need it

#

I guess I more or less know what I'm doing, Kaspersky never found anything within the 2 or 3 years used it so I decided I can safely live without

hexed aurora
#

"didn't find anything" doesn't mean you're entirely safe though :p

marble forge
#

Well you're right

hexed aurora
#

I'm always right troll

marble forge
#

Yeeeaaah xD

hexed aurora
#

(not really)

marble forge
#

Oh surprise surprise, the 4€ windows pro offer has been removed from Amazon lol

hexed aurora
#

Trust me, If you find them under ~60$/£/€, it's most likely an illegal key

#

either illegally obtained, or MSDN key, both running the risk of being disabled and marking your install as not genuine

marble forge
#

What's an msdn key

charred granite
#

microsoft something

hexed aurora
#

MSDN is Microsoft Developer Network, if you pay a relatively subtantial fee, you get access to most of MS' software library for development and testing use

marble forge
#

Ah

hexed aurora
#

including Windows Home, Pro, Enterprise as well as Server editions

#

those usually carry a 2500 activation count, hence why it's popular among key resellers

charred granite
#

btw for the sophos thing.. can i use a free version?

#

for now ^

#

because first i need to save my money to buy windows 10

hexed aurora
#

Sophos home is free, there's no paid version of it 😛

marble forge
#

Well I honestly don't really care as long as I get a working windows xD

charred granite
#

aha

hexed aurora
#

Sophos makes their money on the business market

#

@marble forge MS sometimes retroactively disable keys as well, hence why it's not a terribly good idea

charred granite
#

aha

marble forge
#

The keys work for now... And even if they get deactivated... Well then I wasted 4€

hexed aurora
#

I used to work on the other end of PA, I had multiple people who got scammed with those call in, hence I know it happens

#

at 10$/sold license, they have to sell 120 keys at that price to make their money back from the MSDN subscription superHQThink

charred granite
#

yeah i guess im one of em

#

rip

hexed aurora
#

@charred granite contact Amazon

charred granite
#

yeah will do

hexed aurora
#

they are partially responsible for letting an obvious scam onto their store

marble forge
#

The seller said they would send an email and a letter with the key, didn't get the letter now even a month later

#

It was suspicious from the start I didn't expect much but it works

charred granite
#

welp

#

oh i think i downloaded the wrong one

#

i installed the sophos home premium free trial

#

smh

#

cos when i click download free it asks me to make an account so then i make an account and then it just installs the premium free trial but i dont want that

hexed aurora
#

o.O

#

dafuq

#

they started monetizing it

charred granite
#

oh dear

hexed aurora
#

lel

charred granite
#

well at least it cleaned up some stuff lol

hexed aurora
#

the email they sent me it was worded as if it would be free forever xD

charred granite
#

:(

hexed aurora
#

Well, you don't need all of the paid features

charred granite
#

yeah ik

#

this is annoying af

#

yeah there is a free one, sophos HOME

#

but when i log in it's sophos home PREMIUM

#

smh

#

yeah oh well i guess i will see what happens when i reach the end date

hexed aurora
#

Trial, so it'll downgrade to non premium once trial is over

charred granite
#

oh ok good

hexed aurora
#

I just logged in myself and saw that mine was automatically upgraded to premium trial too xD

charred granite
#

ahh xD

#

well thanks, sophos actually bothered to clean unlike avast, pay for this pay for that

hexed aurora
#

Sophos shouldn't pop up unless there's something you need to pay attention to as well

charred granite
#

What do u mean?

#

No it didn’t pop up

#

I just installed it so it made a quick scan

hexed aurora
#

Sophos will only come with notifications if there's something you need to look at

charred granite
#

Aha

hexed aurora
#

unlike Avast which seems to be popping up 50% of the time from what I've seen of it x.x

charred granite
#

Yeah it does lol

#

Also, is there a way to fix this weird screen color ? Every time I boot my pc I need to keep going to the nvidia control panel and changing the settings

#

It’s like grayish

hexed aurora
#

o.O

#

Which settings do you prod at to fix it?

charred granite
#

Sec

#

Digital vibrance fixes it

#

But I have to keep doing it whenever I turn on my pc

hexed aurora
charred granite
#

sec

hexed aurora
#

Maybe an assistive thing got enabled?

#

I'm not at a windows computer rn, so can't really help you beyond that

charred granite
#

ah

hexed aurora
#

but I believe there's one of them that turns the screen grey scale

charred granite
#

alright i will search around the settings

hexed aurora
#

Check the new control panel thingy-mah-do-dah

charred granite
#

aight xD

#

also, opinions on ccleaner

#

?

hexed aurora
#

Don't use it

charred granite
#

👍

hexed aurora
#

Your registry doesn't need cleaning

#

it's a datbase, and databases are good at finding keys, old/left over keys don't "clog up"

charred granite
#

ahh

charred granite
#

tbh i still cant believe this is my pc

hexed aurora
#

blobcatokhand you didn't do bad on the build by the looks of the pictures you posted

charred granite
#

yh

#

oh dear wait

#

the fan isnt spinning on the gpu

#

ffs

hexed aurora
#

That's probably not bad

#

unless it's under load

charred granite
#

wdym

hexed aurora
#

A lot of modern GPUs are power efficient enough that unless they are actually doing something substantial, the fans spin down completely

charred granite
#

oh

#

so it's not broken?

hexed aurora
#

some can even play games like League of Legends without spinning up

charred granite
#

ahh

#

i see

hexed aurora
#

check your GPU temps with GPU-Z

charred granite
#

ok

hexed aurora
#

if they are sub 60 or so, that's probably whats going on

#

to make sure they function correctly, boot up a more complex game and see if the fan spins up

charred granite
#

alright will do now

hexed aurora
#

keep GPU-Z running to record the temps

charred granite
#

Welp I hope it’s not broken

#

So what ur saying, if the gpu is getting hot the fans will spin?

hexed aurora
#

Should do so yes

charred granite
#

ahhh ok

#

Phew

#

Welp I just ran csgo to test

#

Isn’t spinning so far

hexed aurora
#

CSGO isn't substantial enough

charred granite
#

Gta?

hexed aurora
#

GTA should be good

#

What kind of temps are you seeing?

charred granite
#

Sec

#

Can u link me to a download

hexed aurora
charred granite
#

Cheers

#

it's at 43 degrees

hexed aurora
#

yeah, that sounds pretty normal

charred granite
#

oh good

hexed aurora
#

keep it running and launch GTA

charred granite
#

yup

#

oh wait

#

i forgot

#

i havent got gta installed yet smh

#

let me do so now

#

im pretty sure it will take a long time..

#

i will let u know later on in the day when i play it

hexed aurora
#

ETS2 might do the trick too

charred granite
#

damn i forgot i didnt install it

#

aha alright let me

#

Well I did a job quickly

hexed aurora
#

temps?

charred granite
#

the fan still isn’t spinning but the temps, let me check

#

46

hexed aurora
#

lol

charred granite
#

Sometimes spikes to 50 but rarely

#

lol hmm

#

I mean I have a lot of case fans but

hexed aurora
charred granite
#

ets2 off?

hexed aurora
#

yeah

charred granite
#

aight

#

so i click gpu stress test?

hexed aurora
#

what do you see?

#

I don't have windows 😛

charred granite
#

sorry i cba to crop it

hexed aurora
#

yeah, git GPU stress test

charred granite
#

alrighty

#

ehh :/

hexed aurora
#

yeah, go for it

#

it could crash, but you've not overclocked, so it shouldn't crash you

charred granite
#

alright well

#

it wont fry my gpu?

hexed aurora
#

shouldn't, but that's why you should keep an eye on temperatures with gpu-z

#

< 90 is alright

charred granite
#

ok..

hexed aurora
#

90C

charred granite
#

can i stop it at any time

hexed aurora
#

yep

charred granite
#

ok

hexed aurora
#

you only really want to get it warm enough that the fans should spin up

#

so around 60-70C

charred granite
#

oh ok

#

so when they spin up it's safe to stop it?

hexed aurora
#

yeah

charred granite
#

ok

#

it's rising

hexed aurora
#

How does GPU-Z look?

charred granite
#

So at what temp should it start spinning again?

hexed aurora
#

depends really, but ~60C or so

charred granite
#

There we go it’s spinning ;)

#

60C

#

Spinning

#

Nice :D

hexed aurora
#

blobcatokhand looks purrfect

charred granite
#

Coooolio

#

I turned it off, it’s goin down

hexed aurora
#

If you feel adventurous in the future, you can probably overclock it a little bit even

charred granite
#

yeah

#

but for now it's all good

hexed aurora
#

loads of guides online, and it's fairly safe

charred granite
#

oh nice

#

my gpu is a 3.0GHz so it should be fine?

hexed aurora
#

GPUs are a crazy beast when it comes to how to measure the speed of them ¯_(ツ)_/¯

charred granite
#

😮

hexed aurora
#

just the clock rate alone is pretty useless, but if you feel adventurous, you can get some extra free performance with overclocking, but leave it for a rainy day

#

it has some risks, but mostly in terms of crashing your computer, not so much burning your gpu up

charred granite
#

oh ok

hexed aurora
#

I have generally not bothered myself, but hav dabbled with it

#

I demand a bit more stability from my pc than most 😛

charred granite
#

ahh :P

#

also, will adding another gpu make the system stronger?

hexed aurora
#

To a degree, but there's a lot of caveats in regards to SLI

#

biggest one being that developers need to actually optimize for it, which happens less now than it used to

charred granite
#

i see ;/

hexed aurora
#

Which is why the general recommendation is, and has always been "Get the most powerful single card you can afford"

scenic ferry
#

Oc can be good but it usually voids the warranty. It shouldn't go wrong tho

charred granite
#

ahh

#

well, ets 2 runs like a dream

#

Although it’s a bit annoyin, it’s capped at 60fps

#

But still that’s way enough, a big step up from 20fps

hexed aurora
#

turn off vsync, and you should get > 60 FPS, not that it will imrpove the experience much, but you might not feel it as hard if it drops below 60

charred granite
#

Ahh

#

So is there a point in turning off vsync

hexed aurora
#

vsync adds latency too

charred granite
#

Aah

hexed aurora
#

vsync works by keeping a full frame buffer ready to display at all times, so you are effectively 1 frame behind at all times

charred granite
#

oh so

#

That’s a good thing right?

#

Alright I turned off vsync, I’m getting like 130 FPS on high settings, awesome

hexed aurora
#

In games like ETS2, it's not a big deal to be behind 1 frame, but in eg. CS GO or LoL, it can be the difference between life and death

charred granite
#

Ahhh

#

So turning off vsync is good?

hexed aurora
#

if you don't get any tearing, yeah

charred granite
#

Oh cool then

scenic ferry
#

I am tempted: http://prntscr.com/ie8zif (IK it's only a sample of 3 but early signs look good) I compared it to that CPU as that is the one my brother is going to get
Anyone know what the equivilent GPU would be with the onboard graphics if you were to run it without GPU.

Just hate it that GPU prices have rocketed just because of bitcoin mining / crypto currency

spiral yew
#

yea was thinking about upgrading from R9 390 to a 1080ti but those graphics card prices ☹

marble forge
#

well hopefully the rumors about the new Nvidia cards are true

#

then we should see normal priced new GPUs in april or something

spiral yew
#

i doubt it

marble forge
#

I mean I doubt that prices of current GPUs are normalizing anytime soon but according to the rumors that spread the new genereation is supposed to be more improved for gaming so it won't even be attractive for miners

#

i dunno I just hope I can get a decent GPU that's not overpriced asap 😄

charred granite
#

if so, i got my 1050ti for like 170 pounds

#

i dont actually remember

#

but something like that

rose lion
#

i think the mining stuff is gonna crash soon

#

and tbh i hope it does

#

id love to get a new graphics card without selling my kidneys just to afford the dang things

spiral yew
#

true but if it does just think of all the over stressed gpu's that will be popping up

plucky whale
#

mining cards are typically treated well

#

if the miner knows what they're doing

spiral yew
#

i doubt they really care since all they care bout is the money they are making

plucky whale
#

They undervolt them so the card uses less power which reduces their electricity costs, prolongs the life of the card, and reduces the amount of heat it outputs

hexed aurora
#

Most miners factor in reselling the card after it becomes too expensive vs. what the card makes for them in w/e crypto coin they mine

#

I have two tech questions

#

One:

#

Ok so if you haven’t heard of the cube it’s a website where people live stream off of and my school uses it and what I was wondering is if it’s possible in any way to put an intro video on a livestream off the cube. I know that’s possible I think with YouTube and also we use the cube so is it difficult to switch from live-streaming off the cube to using YouTube?

#

Two:

#

We livestream and have a sound box that we put one end of the two ended headphones into the sound box and that box is connected to the computer through the USB. If I connect Bluetooth headphones to the laptop and have the USB connected the sound box with the mic headphones, will sound from the announcers mic headphones go onto the livestream so people watching could hear?

#

If none of this makes sense it would be nice if someone smart would dm me to help me out

Thank you

Any good computer tech around here?

With BSOD troubleshooting knowledge and such

flat grove
#

instead of asking for someone, just describe your problem

lucid mango
#

Kernel bsod event id 41

#

This is either driver problem, overheat problem or memory problem since the system shutsdown

#

The laptop is with a AMD APU A9 9420 which I can't find where the problem is and I'm afraid it's a problem between win 10 and AMD's problem than hardware problems

hexed aurora
#

System can shut down for other reasons than overheating and memory issues

#

what is the full eventlog entry for the issue?

#

you should usually have a 0x something code, or a textual code with underscores in all caps for BSOD events

lucid mango
#

I don't have access to those now I will be able to check again with bluescreen viewer on Monday

hexed aurora
#

It's in the eventlog

#

Always check the event log

plucky whale
#

not always

#

one PC keeps BSODing and I can't seem to find it in event viewer

although I'm 99.9% certain it's an AMD driver issue

either that or the card is dying

it is up to date

#

that was the first thing I tried

mental stirrup
#

When did u last update it?

plucky whale
#

IIRC it was about a week or 2 ago

mental stirrup
#

It may be some sort of corrupted. Just thought of something. Rollback the driver before the date of the update and see if it carries on

#

or roll it back then re-update it

plucky whale
#

It's been a problem for the past couple versions

mental stirrup
#

I don't have AMD so 🤔

It’s probably just nothing but I’m asking just Incase, every time I turn my pc off, there is normally like 3 loud clicks after a while of turning it off, could that maybe be something?

#

Not always 3, sometimes once or twice

#

Tag me if u got a response ^

lucid mango
#

Well...i took the Event ID from Event logs

#

but too bad it doesn't really report what caused the problem

#

just a generic kernel error

hexed aurora
#

Post the event message

#

Event id is just the type identifier

lucid mango
#

As said, tomorrow i'll have access again

lucid mango
#

So yea, Kernel-Power. The system has rebooted without full shutdown etc etc

#

EventID 41 Task 63 Keywords 0x8000400000000002

hexed aurora
#

Is that the entire event message?

lucid mango
#

This error might have been caused if the system stopped responding, or unexpected shutdown

lucid mango
#

Poke if you answer

mental stirrup

@lucid mango
Method 1: Check with another power plan.

Power settings control the computer’s ability to go into and come out of sleep/standby mode. To determine whether you have the current setting set right, try with another plan.

Method 2: Disable Screensaver.

Some screen savers can interfere with the computer’s ability to go into and come out of sleep/standby mode. Disabling or changing the screen saver may resolve the problem.

Method 3: Run Powercfg –requests

This command helps in diagnosing why the computer is having problems going to sleep mode. Follow the steps below to run the command.

Right click on the Start Menu and select Command Prompt (Admin).
Type powercfg –requests and press Enter.

Method 4: Update your graphic drivers.

#

Does that solve your issue??

#

Not responsible for pc/laptop damage if done. Blame Microsoft, always

hexed aurora
#

@lucid mango that's not the BSOD event, I just saw you posted the kernel-power event

#

that literally means the kernel noticed an abnormal shutdown

#

@mental stirrup the kernel-power doesn't contain the real issue, all you're suggesting is "increase power usage for no good reason"

lucid mango
#

That's all the info I have

#

Both are AMD laptops

#

A9 and A10

#

Same problem no minidump files only kernel logs

#

I'm afraid it's in Greek

hexed aurora
#

kernel-power is useless

lucid mango
hexed aurora
#

As I said, it only tells you that the kernel detected an abnormal shutdown

#

Look for previous errors or criticals

#

usually just a few events before the kernel power

#

if there is none, you just have to replicate the issue and get the BSOD error code on screen and take notes

#

before we have the BSOD error code, we can only do wild guesses

lucid mango
#

Hmm

#

I found an error with hdd controller

#

Harddisk2\dr3

Well cba to do more tests I'll replace the motherboard 😆

#

Just being a bit retro here but i just got my Cassette Recorder/Player. Working brilliantly at recording cassettes

#

That's if my pc stops cutting music out...

hexed aurora
#

Unless your source material is high quality, casette isn't going to be particulary good

#

I hope you're using chromium tape and not ferrite blobcatjoy

frozen meadow
#

it's my actual pc stuttering with music not the cassette.

#

oh well i think i got Ferro-Dioxide or something

#

The chrome & ferro

#

wait the one i am using rn is ferro

#

rip me

hexed aurora
#

type 2/3 ftw, type 1 is just shite

frozen meadow
#

yeah

hexed aurora
#

ferrite is type 1

frozen meadow
#

type 1 is mainly bass but is rubbish

#

type 2 is chrome which sounds better

#

type 3 is just a failed type

#

type 4 is metal which is best but expensive

#

omg i put volume on 100% for tape and it sounds like a screaming squirrel

mental stirrup
#

Tuxy, I just searched it on google so

mental stirrup
#

I'm better on linux than windows so

frozen meadow
#

Even tho cassettes sound crap, i like them better than digital music

frozen meadow
#

So had to get a Virtual Audio Cable to mix it down to Mono Tape Recorder Quality

#

and to set it to listen on soooo many audio devices so i can hear the music and it records onto the cassette too

#

but hey better than left ear only and bad distortion

#

Didn't know recording music onto a cassette would be so hard without it going weird/wrong

#

i should have got the bush recorder from argos and not the ebay groov-e one -_-

frozen meadow
#

ffs

#

it chewed up the tape and i had to pull it all out and get a bic pen and roll the tape back in

#

biggest twist & loop i've ever seen

#

it's like a hotwheels track gone wrong

spiral yew
#

so you ruined a perfectly good cassette tape?

frozen meadow
#

No, it went thingy inside and had to pull the tape it. Sorted it and it's back to normal

frozen meadow
#

Sounds good except the fact it went wrong during recording. But meh

hexed aurora
frozen meadow
#

lmao

frozen meadow
#

ugh one of my blank cassettes has died

#

went near a flipping magnet or something -_-

#

well tbh i got it for free so meh

frozen meadow
#

i probably need a not cheap cassette recorder

#

maybe with dolby noise reduction 🤤

hexed aurora
#

Dolby Atmos cassette deck blobcatjoy

#

holy crap that's bad distortion

#

Techmoan has a video on casette where he shows a nice deck

frozen meadow
#

he's quite good at them vids. I just love his setup tho. I wish to have something like that at some point

#

i use the sky box to lift my monitor up lool

#

2 cassettes got chewed up because they had loops etc in them when i was recording them

#

Just playing music through aux cable to EXT Mic on the Recorder with Mono channels on Tape Recorder Quality (Windows Pre-set) and that's all i do basically

#

worst part is that it has a built in amplifier that hates bass

#

so i have to cut bass out completely and keep treble

#

and it only gets left channel on stereo so yeah

#

i should get a better one tbh

#

oh my even without bass it sounds super distorted. even with low volume (2-4% volume)

frozen meadow
#

right so i'm taking it back, rubbish thing. I'll just get a better one off argos for same price

spiral yew

#

Does anyone know what could cause my PC to reboot instead of shutting down when I press shutdown?

dusty timber
#

Shutdown button header plugged wrong on the motherboard.

jade trench
#

Or you have the buttons switched in windows

marble forge
#

When I press shutdown, it rebootsy then I log in again and press shutdown again and then it actually shuts down. I'm gonna check the energy setting thing in windows but I'm 100% sure that's correct

hexed aurora
#

Had that happen to me a couple of times, no idea why it happens blobcatthonking

lucid mango
#

Try to shutdown your pc while holding the SHIFT key.

#

If that solved the problem disable windows fast boot.

frozen meadow
#

when i have to force shutdown my pc, as soon as i let go of the power button after it shutsdown it starts up again. It saves me pressing button again but can be annoying in some cases. I only force shutdown when pc decides to either kill itself or windows crashes

grizzled crow

maybe it doesnt want to be turned off

@charred granite do you have any anti-virus software running

charred granite
#

Yeah I resolved the issue ages ago but thanks @spiral yew

And indeed it was the antivirus. The new update on PUBG messed up some files with an antivirus about some hitman pro thing so yeah I just uninstalled that

i looked up hmpalert and it's a program

if you fixed the issue long ago then why did you post the screenshot asking for answers 🤔

lmao

deep oriole
#

shame its two geforce usb's and probably a raspberry pi

hexed aurora
#

It's a Raspberry Pi 1 I think and a pico powersupply on the bottom

frozen meadow
#

It seems to be a Raspberry Pi 3 due to the 4 USB Ports (2 USB Boxes) and ethernet plus there's HDMI with no composite.

#

the thing at the bottom, i don't know

grizzled crow
#

why does it need 2 fans tho

hexed aurora
#

Actually could also be a Pi 2, I went off the size of the SD card, which I got fooled by

#

It doesn't need 2 fans, a pi is capable of running fanless, but if you overclock it, you need a cpu fan, and is recommended to cool the VRM as well

#

Judging from the color of the CSI/DSI connectors, it's maybe a 3, but can't tell for sure since you can't see the reset breakout or the activity LEDs

grizzled crow
#

you could tweet them 😉

Hello, I need help on my dual monitor setup thingy

#

Please tag me when you're available to help

Just ask

#

I got a new monitor and the display seems to be very cloudy/not right

#

The resolution is fine but like the colour of the display is really out of bounds

charred granite
#

So I was wondering if anyone knows how to fix that.

dusty timber
#

AMD videocard? @charred granite

#

If so, change Pixel Format settings to Full RGB

charred granite
#

Nope, nvidia @dusty timber

dusty timber
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

And I will look for that setting in nvidia

#

Thanks

charred granite

I found RGB, but I can't change it the second display

What cable are you using?

#

For my second display, for my first HDMI

#

@lucid mango ^

lucid mango

DVI-I or DVI-D?

charred granite
#

DVI-D

lucid mango
#

Show a screenshot of the panel

charred granite
#

the nvidia one?

#

lucid mango
#

Where ever you are trying to change that

charred granite
#

Wait I will make it clearer for you

lucid mango
#

i can see it

charred granite
#

Oh ok

lucid mango
#

and your problem is colors?

charred granite
#

Yeah

#

The second display seems to be really grayish kinda

#

Like, cloudy colour in a sense

lucid mango
#

Did you check the settings from the monitor menu?

#

Sounds like too much gamma

charred granite
#

Yeah I tried messing around a bit

#

See?

lucid mango
#

The right one

#

yea

#

How's brightness?

any pre-set profiles?

#

This is all I have

#

Hold on let me install some drivers

#

Welp nvm

#

Still the same

lucid mango
#

dude get that contrast down to 50

#

thats too high

#

or reset the monitor

charred granite
#

It doesn't change anything anyways lol

#

How can i do that?

lucid mango
#

eColor management might have presets btw

#

search the menu there should be a reset option

#

Btw the monitor is obvious that is a TN panel

#

really bad blacks

charred granite
#

Mhm

#

I reset it btw, nothin lol

#

So it's the panel?

lucid mango
#

I believe it's cheapo monitor

charred granite
#

Well it's not new lol

lucid mango
#

It's not nvidia settings thats for sure

charred granite
#

The guy said it worked perfectly before

#

Yeah

#

He even showed me

lucid mango
#

It works and it will work

#

just bad quality

Tn will look different than led

#

And stuff

charred granite
#

Aha

grizzled crow
#

You won't be able to match them unless they are the same panel

lucid mango
#

that's for sure

#

since they are different brands as well

charred granite
#

That's a bit annoying

#

But for now it will do

#

It's not too bad

grizzled crow
#

Should of got 2 of the same monitors ;)

#

np

#

is it really fixed?

charred granite
#

It's better than before

#

More clear

spiral yew
#

having 2 of the same monitors doesn't always help cause i have 2 of the same monitors with the same monitor settings but the colors are different

hexed aurora
#
  1. make sure the settings on both are the same
  2. use a calibration tool to create a custom color profile for each monitor (ideally automated hardware one if it's important to you, they cost ~100€ for a cheap one)
#

I bought 3 of the same, and they came with different calibrations, so I had to calibrate mine to match the color

charred granite

What are you actually trying to accomplish ?

well the last network point at school i changed took like 30 mins

cos i either cut the cable too short so it doesn't fit properly or they go out of order after cutting it to length so i just end up raging xd

it was iPhone and Android, i never gave contact permissions on both...

There's no way for an app to get data without permission from you

though on Android the permissions system is pretty poor

then how come i have contacts from my iphone that i didn't have on my android phone even though i didn't let it give contact permission

there's no way for it to get that data without you giving access to it

You may have given one device the permissions and that devices contacts has been stored on your account so you can access it on multiple devices.. don’t quote me but just an idea

frozen meadow
#

Why does Xbox consoles always have the fans blowing air out to cool it, when it’s better off blowing cool air into the console for better cooling. Blowing air hot air out wont do it much good tbh

#

I mean, they all have more than one vent on them and space for air to come out efficiently

hexed aurora
#

Wether you pull or push air through a system doesn't matter much actually

#

especially if you got fan shrouds, which the Xbox does

#

The reason why you generally in computers try to have more push than pull is that you want to try minimise the amount of dust buildup by having positive preasure

#

but if you have restrictive airflow, which ducting does, positive air preasure won't do that much regardless

#

It's pretty simple physics

#

(aka. it's only fluid dynamics troll)

the amount of dust want that bad tbh

#

ive seen worse 😂 not from my pc though

hexed aurora
#

Those have usually been around for a lot longer than 1 year, or is in a far dustier environment

frozen meadow
#

tbh really people should clean their consoles etc every once in a while to stop overheating and too much dust

#

i always keep my consoles clean

#

i've seen some laptops and pc have built in dust cleaning

#

sadly my pc doesn't have it and i live in dust central

#

the only time i've seen a console have bad dust is my xbox 360 that hasn't been cleaned in 10 years

#

other consoles i took apart had near to no dust

With the way Ms and Sony handle warranties, I understand why people don't clean them

don't rely on the classifications in programs like that

Did you call your ISP support?
