Is that true?

wide temple Apr 12, 2019, 11:42 AM

#

Not entirely, 1600x is factory overclocked and has a higher power draw compared to the 2600, the 2600 can also be overclocked to match it, it also comes with a stock cooler, where as the 1600X doesn't.

agile ermine Apr 12, 2019, 12:27 PM

#

the 2600 has better single-thread performances than the 1600x, which makes it better everywhere with a lower power draw.

#

you don't even need to OC it (even if you can)

eager fossil Apr 12, 2019, 1:17 PM

#

That means the 2600 is better?

wide temple Apr 12, 2019, 1:18 PM

#

Yes

#

It also supports faster memory, which Ryzen benefits from heavily

eager fossil Apr 12, 2019, 1:19 PM

Okay

I want to stay at the Ryzen 5 but the i5 is better :/

What about the Intel one you're considering?

agile ermine Apr 12, 2019, 1:32 PM

eager fossil Apr 12, 2019, 1:39 PM

#

i5 9400F and 9600K

#

And I saw a new Video, a AMD processor is better than a Intel processor for Gaming and Work

agile ermine Apr 12, 2019, 1:55 PM

#

not for gaming, for work it depends of the softwares

#

if the software can handle a big amount of cpu cores, then AMDs will be better, but many softwares like solidworks or everything Java related can't use more than 1 core

eager fossil Apr 12, 2019, 1:56 PM

#

I mean when im rendering an Intro the AMD is better

agile ermine Apr 12, 2019, 2:01 PM

#

as I said, depends of the woftware you're using... btw, Im pretty sure you can use your GPU to render videos

#

but I dont think there are any softwares that use only a single thread to render a video, that would be completely stupid...

eager fossil Apr 12, 2019, 2:03 PM

when the BIOS update comes, i will destroy my pc because i have no isea xD

agile ermine Apr 12, 2019, 5:06 PM

#

why would you update your BIOS? thats not really useful, excepted if you're replacing your CPU by a newer one...

#

(which will not happen if you're using an intel because older boards aren't compatible with newer CPUs, excepted 9th gen which uses the same motherboards as the 8th gen)

eager fossil Apr 12, 2019, 5:08 PM

#

But why is there a BIOS update? I need to update it when I built my pc

agile ermine Apr 12, 2019, 5:08 PM

#

you shouldn't need it

#

motherboards usually have a recent bios when they come out of the factory

marble forge Apr 12, 2019, 5:09 PM

#

you don't need it, you can do it but it's absolutely not necessary

eager fossil Apr 12, 2019, 5:09 PM

#

U mean when Im using a i5 8th gen on a 7 gen Mainboard i need to update if for the 8th gen?

agile ermine Apr 12, 2019, 5:10 PM

#

no, that works for ryzen, but if you get an 8th gen intel you'll need a new motherboard because it won't work with the board you use with a 7th gen cpu

eager fossil Apr 12, 2019, 5:11 PM

#

For ryzens i need to do a bios update?

agile ermine Apr 12, 2019, 5:14 PM

#

let's say you have a 1st gen ryzen and and its motherboard, you can upgrade for a 2nd gen ryzen without replacing your board, but you will probably have to update the bios otherwise the board might not recognise your new cpu

#

but you don't have to spend 100-150€ in a new motherboard

eager fossil Apr 12, 2019, 5:15 PM

#

okay

#

which oiwer supply is the best? be quiet

marble forge Apr 12, 2019, 5:16 PM

#

I have a be quiet pure power 10 and I can recommend that

agile ermine Apr 12, 2019, 5:16 PM

#

Seasonic are the best, but they are usually more expensive than the others

eager fossil Apr 12, 2019, 5:17 PM

#

And how can I see how many watt i neeed

agile ermine Apr 12, 2019, 5:17 PM

#

you're getting a vega 64 and a ryzen 5 2600x, right?

eager fossil Apr 12, 2019, 5:18 PM

#

no x

agile ermine Apr 12, 2019, 5:18 PM

#

woops, idk why I put an x there...

#

so, your gpu will need around 300W, and your cpu needs around 80W, but you also have to take everything else into account (motherboard, RAM, fans, etc...), so I wouldn't recommend getting a power supply that can't deliver at least 600W

#

650W should be fine

eager fossil Apr 12, 2019, 5:26 PM

#

Which SSds should i take? the big cards or the M.2?

marble forge Apr 12, 2019, 5:27 PM

#

M.2

#

more specifically you should get an NVMe card if your mainboard supports it

eager fossil Apr 12, 2019, 5:28 PM

#

Man... my classmate is saying always the other side, the 2.5 card

marble forge Apr 12, 2019, 5:28 PM

#

NVMe is faster than SATA

eager fossil Apr 12, 2019, 5:29 PM

#

SATA are the cards?

agile ermine Apr 12, 2019, 5:30 PM

#

2.5 SATA SSDs and M.2 SATAs are cheaper than NVMe SSDs, but NVMe is a lot faster... but there's not a huge difference in terms of loading times

marble forge Apr 12, 2019, 5:30 PM

#

SATA can be a 2.5" drive but there are also M.2 SATA cards

eager fossil Apr 12, 2019, 5:31 PM

#

Regarding the thing about BIOS updates earlier, if you use a Ryzen CPU its recommended to update if you can

#

As it's a relatively new platform, there'll be a few issues being worked out, and you might get a performance increase out of updating

#

Any decent mobo will usually have a dual BIOS anyway, so if it does get corrupted, you'll be able to flick a switch and swap to the backup and flash that

#

I mean my Z97 mobo from 2014 has it so I can't imagine today's mobo's not coming without it

eager fossil Apr 12, 2019, 6:28 PM

Okay, which storage do i need?

agile ermine Apr 12, 2019, 6:54 PM

#

personally I have a 500gb ssd, on wich I put all the games I play often at the moment, and all the other games I don't play are stored on my HDD, I juste have to move them in my Steam folders when I want to play

#

250gb doesn't allow you to put a lot of things on it, but I don't think 1tb is really needed... for me, 500gb is the sweet spot, unless you absolutely need to have all your games and softwares always installed on your SSD

agile ermine Apr 13, 2019, 1:51 PM

Because that's not a lot for a vega 64... 500W is the amount of power recommended for a 1070 ti, I think, and a vega 64 needs at least 100W more than the 1070 ti... also, power supplies tend to be more efficient if you use less than the maximum power your psu can deliver

iron tiger Apr 14, 2019, 7:22 PM

raid 0 is ok so long as you know the issues that it brings - namely data integrity but for the performance it brings with it then in some cases it can be worth it if you can't afford an SSD which tbf the prices are coming down so raid 0 may not be necessary sooner rather than later for many people. Fortunately for me Beasty was built by myself and has a 2TB marked up as a spare drive on the off chance that a drive starts to fail plus there are backups elsewhere if I require them 😄

I dont know if I have P-ATA or S-ATA in my PC

flat grove Apr 18, 2019, 3:45 PM

#

P-ATA = Parallel ATA
S-ATA = Serial ATA

Check your mainboard manual. Most mainboard do actually have SATA only. Number of SATA ports, depends on the motherboard, but mbs do usually have 2 or even more SATA ports

PATA was/is widely used for IDE components which is an fairly old standard. But it's still used in legacy (=old tech) and embedded systems.
SATA is more modern and supports higher bandwidth and is what you should use as a connector fo ryour harddrives/optical drives

eager fossil Apr 18, 2019, 4:41 PM

Should I buy 2 coolers on the top of my case?

agile ermine Apr 18, 2019, 4:59 PM

dont trust the calculator numbers, it takes only the cpu tdp into account, not the power consumption... same for the gpu, the consumption may be higher than 295W, if you don't have a reference model from AMD... I still don't recommend to get less than a 600W psu

Yup plus PSU's degrade after a period of time thus it's better to go for a higher wattage 1 - say about 50 to 100 Watts higher plus this gives you room to breathe if say you want a new graphics card or having 2 running at the same time as an example

gilded stone Apr 21, 2019, 1:38 PM

You should have about twice the peak wattage of the power supply compared to your component's power draw

Trident Z is good

If possible, look for RAM with the Samsung B die. They're really good.

Or I buy a RAM without RGB, but then I have RGB on my GPU, Motherboard and the case coolers (4 RGB coolers)

#

One thing though, the Crucial SSD is much slower than the Samsung one and essentially wastes your m.2 slot. You might as well get the MX500 in 2.5" Format

#

The MX500 has ~500MB/s read speed in both form factors and the Samsung Evo 970 has 3500MB/s read speed

eager fossil Apr 22, 2019, 12:19 PM

#

I need a ssd, it need to be ggood but i dont want the price over 1000€

marble forge Apr 22, 2019, 12:21 PM

#

fair enough, the M.2 variant of the MX500 still has no advantage over the 2.5" variant though and you may actually save a few bucks if you just buy the 2.5" one

#

oh and do you already have a HDD? 🤔

eager fossil Apr 22, 2019, 12:49 PM

it's always good to have SSD and HDD. Install windows on your SSD and have the 'Download', 'Documents', 'Pictures' and 'Videos' libraries on your HDD, that way everything you do is on your HDD except the OS and your games

And whats with the HDD?

agile ermine Apr 22, 2019, 5:13 PM

not especially for gaming, that will allow you to launch every software faster

so you can put in it every software that needs a lot of time to launch

you can play with a ssd since it's faster, but ets2 for example also works with a hdd too, but slower.

eager fossil Apr 22, 2019, 7:55 PM

#

What works slower? The opening of the game?

analog mist Apr 22, 2019, 7:55 PM

#

loading in general

#

ingame you can (depending of the HDD speed) experience minor laggs due to loading etc, but it's nothing to worry about

#

but I've only seen that in ets so far, nowhere else

#

Propably because of large loading files... whatever

the SSD is much more useful for the operating system itself

sinful monolith Apr 22, 2019, 8:18 PM

if you get the SSD, you should try to move the installation over at some point

#

Windows licensing is a mess that even their support agents don't fully understand without looking things up, so no idea if it'll work

agile ermine Apr 22, 2019, 8:35 PM

you dont need a bios update

#

btw, an ssd isn't only useful for the system, a lot of games have very long loading times now, and while I was playing on my HDD I had a lot of issues in online games such as world of tanks, where my HDD was too slow to even load the map within the 40s before the beginning of the game...

there's usually pretty clear instructions on the mobo manufacturer's site

@eager fossil I think you can transfer licenses as long as its not an OEM one (by signing into your microsoft account)

#

I've done that myself

agile ermine Apr 22, 2019, 9:20 PM

actually you can transfer your OEM licence by signing into your microsoft account, you don't even need that if thats a retail licence

it can work I think, but you have to be careful, if you don't have a correct air flow in your case the VRM may overheat, as you remove the fans...

I don't think it's worth buying an AIO for a 970 in 2019

better off saving the money for a new GPU

#

The 970 is fairly old now, and isn't really that great for performance

west lodge Apr 26, 2019, 1:47 PM

Misterclic I have looked at reviews and stuff and it seems like it is very effective. The bracket i plan on using has an in built fan for the VRMs. I have also heard that the liquid cooling is very good for the overclocking.

if one of your fans of your graphic card isn't working but the others are fine the problem might come from your card...

if all of the fans are off, thats normal, on many cards now they are enabled only when it gets hotter than a certain temp (like 55 or 60°C)

analog mist Apr 30, 2019, 11:34 PM

#

i got my 1070 to nearly 100C using overclocking and it still works, but yeah, 70C is the temp of the gpu being under quite some load. You don't really have to worry about gpus getting too hot cause when they will, they'll shut themselves off. Non-spinning fans could be because of a malfunction of the hardware, but it could also be the drivers. In case of an emergency, you can always ramp up the fans to 100% using some software. With that most cards sound like jets taking off ^^

agile ermine Apr 30, 2019, 11:35 PM

#

huh? 100°C is dangerous, you know?

analog mist Apr 30, 2019, 11:47 PM

#

nah it's fine as long as you don't keep the temp for too long

wide temple Apr 30, 2019, 11:48 PM

#

100c on a 1070 donotwant

analog mist Apr 30, 2019, 11:48 PM

#

I held it there for about 5 mins, then it shut itself off

wide temple Apr 30, 2019, 11:48 PM

#

The Tjmax for the Pascal GPUs is 93c...

#

Not sure how you passed that

#

Unless it's a mobile variant

analog mist Apr 30, 2019, 11:50 PM

#

its not mobile, I used a special software for that which voids the warranty of the gpu... but it was overdue anyways so

agile ermine Apr 30, 2019, 11:51 PM

#

gpu melts

wide temple Apr 30, 2019, 11:51 PM

#

wat

#

Why would void the warranty on a 1070

#

They're still good cards

analog mist Apr 30, 2019, 11:52 PM

#

as said, it was overdue since gigabyte gives only about 1-2 years or so

wide temple Apr 30, 2019, 11:53 PM

#

I don't get it, do you just destroy your GPU because it ran out of warranty? lol

#

Or was it already broken

sand valley Apr 30, 2019, 11:53 PM

#

could of sold it on ebay and got some money

analog mist Apr 30, 2019, 11:54 PM

#

nah it's not broken, i just wanted to test how hot it can get cuz of couriosity

sand valley Apr 30, 2019, 11:54 PM

#

should of done that before lol

agile ermine Apr 30, 2019, 11:54 PM

#

thats the kind of things you can test only once 😅

analog mist Apr 30, 2019, 11:54 PM

#

yeah that's how I lost about 3 older cpus

sand valley Apr 30, 2019, 11:54 PM

#

and for a short period of time

analog mist Apr 30, 2019, 11:54 PM

was worth it tho

sand valley Apr 30, 2019, 11:54 PM

#

very short

wide temple Apr 30, 2019, 11:55 PM

#

MonkaGiga you must have a lot of disposable income to do that

#

To kill a perfectly working 1070 because the warranty ran out...

agile ermine Apr 30, 2019, 11:56 PM

#

I'll never do that... I already don't like to see by card reaching 75°C... at least, even at 100°C a 1070 doesn't catches fire like a 2080 ti kappa

wide temple Apr 30, 2019, 11:56 PM

#

I accidentally set the wrong fan curve for my GPU and it reached 93c picardfacepalm

#

That was a scary moment

sand valley Apr 30, 2019, 11:56 PM

#

my fans dont turn on till 83c

analog mist Apr 30, 2019, 11:56 PM

sand valley May 1, 2019, 12:01 AM

i still need to buy more clothes

I dont even spend that much money on clothes in a year

#

u wot

sand valley May 1, 2019, 12:01 AM

might get another pair of shoes too that like another £100

#

and then all the money after that can get spent on my pc

analog mist May 1, 2019, 12:02 AM

how come some people are that obsessed with clothing?

sand valley May 1, 2019, 12:03 AM

And what happens if I take my HDD with driver a for Nvidia and my GPU is a Radeon?

jade trench May 1, 2019, 11:06 AM

#

Windows will just use default graphics drivers if none are found

#

Then you can just download the Radeon drivers

eager fossil May 1, 2019, 11:11 AM

#

But my friend said I need to delete the driviers

#

One fan of my GPU doesnt work 🤔 then my GPU is broken...

jade trench May 1, 2019, 11:22 AM

#

Windows just wont use the nVidia drivers if they aren't in use

#

If any driver doesn't match the one required by the GPU, it will use the default Windows driver

marble forge May 1, 2019, 11:28 AM

if it's really broken send it back

eager fossil May 1, 2019, 11:35 AM

eager fossil May 1, 2019, 12:29 PM

#

Okay

wide temple May 1, 2019, 1:32 PM

#

Are you sure it's broken and its not like that by design?

#

Sometimes only one fan will spin up until the GPU reaches a certain temperature

agile ermine May 1, 2019, 1:49 PM

#

Im pretty sure that when a gpu is at low temps all the fans are stopped and not only one (passive cooling)... you should ask the customer service of your GPU's manufacturer to ensure if theres a problem or not

eager fossil May 1, 2019, 3:11 PM

#

Idk, Im waiting for my friend then I will know

wide temple May 1, 2019, 3:56 PM

#

You could download MSI afterburner and ramp up the fans manually and see if both spin

eager fossil May 1, 2019, 4:03 PM

#

But I dont have a MSI GPU

wide temple May 1, 2019, 4:04 PM

#

Doesn't matter, it works with all GPUs

#

For example, I have an EVGA 1070 but I still use it to set a custom fan curve and overclock

eager fossil May 1, 2019, 4:16 PM

#

Okay

#

but when my friend cant go to me? I have no idea how to do the things on my PC

wide temple May 1, 2019, 4:21 PM

I can help you with installing MSI afterburner if you need

Have you installed Windows yet? blobcatthinkingeyes

eager fossil May 1, 2019, 4:31 PM

eager fossil May 1, 2019, 5:22 PM

my friend wanted to install the GPU driver

#

and then it was hot

wide temple May 1, 2019, 5:29 PM

Mine is sitting at 48c with both fans off, and I can tell you that touching it with my hand, its definitely warm

spiral yew May 1, 2019, 5:34 PM

#

With my 1080 ti the fans don't spin until it reaches 60c

eager fossil May 1, 2019, 5:35 PM

#

bruh

#

i want to see how many degrees it will reach but i dont want to destroy them

#

And i dont know how to see it

agile ermine May 1, 2019, 5:39 PM

#

you cant destroy it, it will automatically shut down itself

#

and a lot of gpus are passively cooled at idle, so you don't risk anything unless you do thinks that need a high gpu usage

#

you can use MSI afterburner to monitor your temps, or any other software from a gpu manufacturer

eager fossil May 1, 2019, 5:44 PM

#

So when I need to install my new pc and my gpu is too hot, it will be off?

agile ermine May 1, 2019, 5:48 PM

#

it shouldn't get too hot begause it's not used a lot

eager fossil May 1, 2019, 6:02 PM

#

And what would happen when I take my GPU out and install Win 10 and the drivers?

eager fossil May 1, 2019, 6:28 PM

#

?

flat grove May 1, 2019, 6:30 PM

#

try it out
It won't break for sure

But, iirc, nvidia checks your system if a gpu is installed, if not it will simply won't allow you to install the driver

agile ermine May 1, 2019, 6:45 PM

#

you might also simply not be able to turn on our pc, if your cpu doesn't have integrated graphics

flat grove May 1, 2019, 10:00 PM

#

^nope, because operating systems will use fallback functions like cpu-software rendering which will only decrease (graphics-)performance and increase cpu usage.

placid dragon May 2, 2019, 5:09 AM

You think 9 display outputs is enough bkscream

Left button is a reset switch

When you restart your PC, the fans will switch on and then switch back off as they have not reached temperature

As long both spin when the system boots, then it is working correctly

either they're all on or they're all off

livid dew May 3, 2019, 5:13 PM

The fans shouldn't be on period if the card isn't under load, except for a test burst when it first starts.

and why don't you use it on your hdd for now?

if you install windows on your ssd your hdd won't even be affected so they are technically not installed on your new installation

#

why does it not work? What happens fi you try to delete Windows?

agile ermine May 4, 2019, 5:35 PM

#

you can't delete windows

#

you can clone your hdd on your ssd, but you'll have to erase everything that's on your hdd after that

eager fossil May 4, 2019, 5:39 PM

#

How do I clone it? I already have deleted everything but Windows wont go out

#

And now my Corsair LEDs from the Ram wont go off

flat grove May 4, 2019, 5:44 PM

#

you can'T really delete the windows folder.
You have to format the harddrive with the windows installation that you want to remove

eager fossil May 4, 2019, 5:45 PM

#

I formated my HDD and windows is there

eager fossil May 4, 2019, 5:48 PM

probably you didn't format it then or something went wrong

eager fossil May 4, 2019, 6:08 PM

#

I didi it, no pics or something from me was there, just windows

flat grove May 4, 2019, 6:24 PM

#

weird, try restarting your pc
if it diesn't work, goto control panel -> managemnt -> computer management -> disk management and format your drive over there

marble forge May 4, 2019, 6:43 PM

#

So you installed Windows on your SSD now and you formatted your HDD during the installation. Correct?

eager fossil May 4, 2019, 6:54 PM

#

Hehe... the problem has been solved

#

😅

agile ermine May 4, 2019, 7:02 PM

#

when you format a drive, it DELETES everything thats on it

#

to clone your hdd on your ssd (windows included), there are specific softwares

#

I personally used Macrium Reflect... it might be a bit hard to use, but it works well and I found a lot of tutorials on the internet

eager fossil May 5, 2019, 1:07 PM

Uhm, my CPU and GPU will be very hot when I play F1 or other games with good graphics, I took my glass on the side out, the glass was hot and how do I get them cooled without heating my glass?

placid dragon May 5, 2019, 1:09 PM

#

Does your cpu use the stock cooler?

eager fossil May 5, 2019, 1:11 PM

#

yes

placid dragon May 5, 2019, 1:11 PM

#

Well get a better cooler or an AIO

#

Also how big is your PC case?

#

Because you might want more case fans to help move air through it better

eager fossil May 5, 2019, 1:15 PM

#

I got a Chieftec Scorpion II

#

4 Case coolers/fans

#

I will buy a be quiet! Pure Rock

placid dragon May 5, 2019, 1:16 PM

Okay that case has plenty of fans

#

Yeah get a decent air cooler or AIO for your cpu

#

What cpu is it anyway?

eager fossil May 5, 2019, 1:20 PM

#

Ryzen 5 2600

agile ermine May 5, 2019, 2:40 PM

#

download ryzen master, it'll show the temps of your cpu

#

thats not surprising that your glass side panel is hot, as your cooler blows hot air directly at it...

spiral yew May 5, 2019, 4:21 PM

#

@eager fossil I hope you put thermal paste between your cpu and your cpu cooler unless your cpu cooler came pre applied with thermal compound

eager fossil May 5, 2019, 4:23 PM

#

yes i did it

#

And ICUE shows the same temp (GPU, CPU and Motherboard)

agile ermine May 5, 2019, 4:34 PM

agile ermine May 5, 2019, 4:50 PM

the gpu temp is fine in my opinion, but the cpu temp is way too low...

#

there's nothing wrong with a cpu having low temps

agile ermine May 5, 2019, 7:06 PM

#

obviously, but im pretty sure the temp displayed here is wrong, thats almost impossible to get that low, even with a custom watercooling loop

spiral yew May 5, 2019, 7:11 PM

well the ambient temp/room temp also makes a difference

agile ermine May 5, 2019, 7:12 PM

When I played more... my CPU would be broken

#

Thanks Corsair!

marble forge May 6, 2019, 5:03 PM

how hot is it

#

Your CPU won't overheat if you only play F1 and use a stock cooler or a cooler from a reputable brand such as Corsair. Either you're overreacting or you installed your cooler wrong

marble forge May 6, 2019, 5:07 PM

do a stress test with Prime95 and look how hot your CPU gets

eager fossil May 6, 2019, 5:07 PM

I installed my CPU with the golden corner down left and installes my cooler wuth a thermal compound

#

Wkll my CPU turn off auto?

marble forge May 6, 2019, 5:08 PM

#

Yes

#

it's pretty much impossible to destroy it by overheating unless you absolutely do it on purpose. Your CPU will limit its performance if it gets too hot and worst case is that it shuts down

#

I'm saying this as someone who overheated his CPU to almost 100° C on purpose. It's fine

But your HDD seems to be dying badly if it keeps doing those checks everytime

#

I'd recommend backing up what is important on that drive

#

you could run a chkdsk to re-evaluate the bad sectors - sometimes this can stop this from happening each time you boot up the PC

Im formating my HDD again, I saw that some sites says that I need to format my HDD again then there will be no problems

agile ermine May 8, 2019, 4:51 PM

#

that may only delay the issue

#

maybe that was just a "bug" from your hard drive, but if there's really a problem then if will disappear by formating the HDD, but it will come back when the HDD will try to write something on the bad sector

#

only one or two bad sectors shouldn't be too worrying, especially with a 8k hours HDD... you can format your HDD, and just check sometimes if there are bad sectors again

#

I had that issue on a 5.5k hours Seagate drive, reformated it and it's still good 1.5k hours later

Switch that hard drive asap

Hello, can someone help me to get my G29 working again?

#

It was working before, but I didn't play for a few updates/DLC's and now it's no longer being shown as the real Wheel

#

📎 unknown.png

#

It only shows this instead of Logitech G29

wide temple May 12, 2019, 11:06 PM

#

Did you re-install the drivers?

sand valley May 12, 2019, 11:07 PM

#

Yes I unplugged the wheel, removed everything restarted and installed everything

#

📎 unknown.png

#

The wheel tester app also shows everything correct incl gear

wide temple May 12, 2019, 11:08 PM

#

You could try resetting the controls in ETS by deleting the controls.sii file in your profile folder

sand valley May 12, 2019, 11:09 PM

#

Should i try that?

#

windows config works as well

📎 unknown.png

wide temple May 12, 2019, 11:10 PM

#

yeah, just make a backup of that file in case something goes wrong

#

Deleting it should just reset your controller configuration and any keybinds you've set

sand valley May 12, 2019, 11:11 PM

#

Just renamed it to controls.sii.OFF

wide temple May 12, 2019, 11:11 PM

😅

sand valley May 12, 2019, 11:11 PM

restarting game now

sand valley May 12, 2019, 11:29 PM

#

Didn't help :/

wide temple May 12, 2019, 11:30 PM

#

Did you try creating a new profile and see if that helps at all?

sand valley May 12, 2019, 11:30 PM

#

I can try, sure

#

1 sec

#

No changes with a fresh profile

wide temple May 12, 2019, 11:49 PM

#

Hmm... I can only imagine it to be driver related possibly. Did you try using the controller wizard in the game?

sand valley May 12, 2019, 11:52 PM

#

Yes, it won't let me input any controls related to that wheel

eager fossil May 13, 2019, 7:34 AM

#

Do you have the driver on while you playing ETS2?

My HDD dont have bad sectors, because I formated it again

distant zodiac May 13, 2019, 10:26 AM

#

@sand valley Reinstall the Logitech Gaming Software. The program itself looks like this, when you have the wheel plugged in it'll show the wheel. I have my headset plugged in as I've packed away my wheel.

#

Without this software the wheel does not work unless you are using something third party

#

Also check you have the slider on the wheel set to PC and not PS4
