part of me regrets not sticking with ITX, but meh
maybe in the future I can go for an ultra SFF build with a blower style card so it doesn't get too hot inside the case
i dont have a blower card.....
my case is made to NOT have a blower card
the manual even advertises a 3 fan gtx970/980
but for a true ITX/SFF case, you'll need one or its gonna get really really hot inside
2 slot GPU or 2.5 slot?
to me it just seems like a massive hotbox for blowing warm inside rather than exhausting outside of it directly
the air coming out of the top while im playing is stupidly fast
how loud is it...
not as loud as if it were a laptop with a 2080 in it 
the cpu cooler is louder than the 4 fans cooling the gpu
let me see if i can take a pic of somethin, brb
ok, i cant 😐
😦
Hold the phone... why on earth have I been charged £10 extra?!
Strange, my bank statement is showing the correct amount
Total cost of my build, will buy some fans and a fan controller in the future, but damn, that's a dent in the bank account
well i just had a major blonde moment
you gonna buy another win 10 version or do you have a cd or usb with win 10 on it?
Already have Win10 keys from my uni days
nice
@spiral yew i couldnt get the shot that i wanted
oh
wanted to show Moh the 4mm gap between the gpu fans and the case fans
I wonder if I have enough Thermal Grizzly Kyronaut left 🤔
I was going to wedge some fans between the GPU and the case with the Phanteks ITX, but the clearance was too small
the cpu cooler should come with some thermal paste
It will, but Kyronaut is the best
fans that Silverstone recommends for my case: 120mm slim (15mm thick) fans
fans that im putting in: ML120 full size (25mm) fans
nope
thats me realizing that i didnt have wifi signal on my pc cuz i didnt screw the antennas back in the mobo....
(i had it at work last weekend and they need to come off so the pc fits in my backpack)
you take your PC to work? wat
its a windows console 
also flexing you have a 1080Ti but still using WiFi 
the desktop is wired
my pc pulls wifi straight from the mobo of the desktop
we dont have a router, routers are for peasants
switch?
If it ain't 10GBe I'm not interested 
it is 
now I am
x470 taichi ultimate
ain't
10gb aquantica (did i get the name right?)
so let me get this right, your PC is using wifi from what I can only assume is your husband's desktop connected directly to the modem?
no modem

cat6 comes straight into the house and into the desktop
surely that cat6 is plugged into a box somewhere
It can't just be a direct fibre optic feed without some form of switching
that's really interesting, I would have thought that the box it feeds into would be located inside the home
or at least on the property itself, not a direct connection
depends on the location
I wonder how your ISP does provisioning 🤔
most city building have a main switch
usually at the bottom floor
also, Aquantia* 10Gb
for my connection it goes like, copper cable from the modem into a box that sits outside, then from there, a fibre optic cable straight to the street cabinet
I don't use the ISP provided router because I'd rather be stabbed with a rusty spoon than use that POS
so ISP router into modem only mode + Asus router running a custom version of Asuswrt merlin
we have their 300mbps router sitting in its box (still sealed) under the couch

U2 is the best racing game

What are those
my case got delivered an hour ago, now I'm waiting for the motherboard, yay
forever waiting Moh
pretty accurate story of my life
@mighty vine Most Wanted 2005 / Hot Pursuit 2 2002
and you call yourself a gamer? laughs in 'gaming since 1996'
i was in 6th (or 7th) grade in 2003 🤔
gaming since you were a baby? 
Indeed
i started gaming on consoles at 5
my first rodeo with gaming was SNES
my husband started at 3
🤔
I think I started at a similar age too
i had a snes knockoff
born in 95, the true era of console gaming
he had a mega drive 2
i still play OG ps1 Rayman
that startup sound brings back so many memories 
ps2 startup brings hopes and prayers
since it was like 50-50 chance of it booting up lul
well... until this happened
What happens when you don't put in a PlayStation 1 or PlayStation 2 (or DVD/CD) format disc? The red screen happens.
I couldnt find this anywhere on youtube so i put it up Rip blackbox Never forget #blackbox Thanks for wasting your time Also I do not own this
the red screen of death would always scare the crap out of me
This does put a smile on my face
I could listen to it endlessly

WHY!
JeredHarrisToday at 2:12 AM True I am getting bottlenecked by my cpu, I know that for a fact because I just upgraded my gpu and I’m waiting to upgrade cpu, so for now I’m rocking an i3 4130 and a gtx 1070. I just didn’t expect to be bottlenecked so much, in other games it’s not as significant
even i5 4th gen is too slow for a 1070
And they were trying to run the Xbox 360 emulator on that xD
Which has a PPC CPU that is 3c 6t at 3.2Ghz
So they're trying to emulate that powerhouse of a CPU and run a GTX 1070 is just not gonna work
I have a question. Does somebody know how to make a Kiosk App?
I need to make one for my project so funny students cant do something else on my pc.
just upgraded to a (i5 9th gen 9400F and a 970) from a (Zeon and a 250X)
O.o
poke me when it catches fire 
Pls no
BIOS update worked after like 5 tries
Had to get a decent old USB 2 Sandisk stick
im surprised you didnt brick it
😭
which cooler will you use?
its pretty easy....
ive reinstalled ours several times
tho i did find it harder mounting it on am4 than on 1151
It’s easy to install once you line it up. But installing the motherboard after is tough
The screws are almost completely inaccessible
Right now I’m having trouble mounting the fan on. The clips are so bad
Yeah that’s what I did
oh yea
gl with the clips
if you have a small metal hook thing
it helps massively
like this (i fix it toolkit)
'spudger'
use that then
Gonna install everything else first
that thing makes it so much easier

pleb
dont put the mobo in the case
before the cooler has fans on it
you will have a bad time
This was the easiest way. Remember it’s mATX
Space is limited and there’s a PSU shroud too
Welp. I think I’ll have to take it out as I’m running out of patience and time
fan clips?
Or take the cooler off
you want the hassle-free install order?
Sure
cpu in mobo > ram in mobo > m.2 in mobo > cpu bracket on mobo > cooler on mobo > fans on cooler > mobo in case > psu in case > front panel, case fans and all psu cables (except gpu) into mobo > gpu in mobo > psu cables in gpu > case sidepanel
I think I’ll just take off the cooler and put the fans on then mount it back on
I’m not taking the mobo out
Oh no. The cooler is stuck to the cpu
twist it
I guess I’ll have to power it in to heat it or something
Took the motherboard out and it still won’t clip in properly. I’m done. Just gonna leave it loose. Thanks for the help
Goodnight
moh don't leave it loose bad things will happen
do not leave it loosed
also i solved my bad weefiii provlems
i put my PC on the floor
🙃
I figured out it in the end. It’s all built now, just installing and transferring data yay
Also had a small issue of the 4th slot not working because the second M2 disables it
I wonder should I upgrade to Windows 10? 🤔 I am currently using Windows 7
The only concern I am having is low fps in games
with those specs I have no problems for now
Intel i5-6500 3.20GHz CPU
8GB RAM
SSD 120GB + 1TB HDD
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 OC 1GB
win7 will be end-of-life in about 5 months
I am not updating it anyway so 😄
nice and secure 
i don't think there is such a thing as a 5 pack for case fans
yeh for the cheap brands
@worn pollen get a good used 970 off of ebay and get like a 5 dollar copy of windows 10 off of ebay then you are good
or just buy a proper genuine version of windows
and buy a decent gpu from amazon
even if its only 2gb
@wide temple show me progress boy
pics 
no because my pc is a beast 
I mean, in terms of reliability and getting "tricked"
the biggest pc error in history is between the keyboard and chair
@sand valley thats like $400 $150 for windows and amazon like $250 for good graphics card 💲 💲 💲 💲
Windows 10 is still free if you already have a valid Windows 7 64bit
you have to be stupid to pay 150$ for windows 10
you can found tons of keys for 10 or 20 times less
i know
Or even free 
New fans coming on Monday let’s hope they work better than what I have now
too lazy to type it all again 
look up a tutorial on how to take apart your specific laptop @sand valley
also make sure you have all the tools required
its different from model to model, not even talkin about one manufacturer to another
it being an HP really doesn't narrow it down much because there's so many HP laptops
I’ll google in a bit then I suppose
just flip it over and see the sticker
I know the exact model I just don’t wanna break it
well, look for a tutorial for that specific model
i would check 'i fix it' website first
oke
it might be there
Literally no videos
Well there is one but he’s taking it completely apart
I just want to clean the cpu fan
youd most likely need to change the thermal paste too
since usually you have to take the radiator off the chips to take the fan off

I've hooked up pc fans to a 5v usb cable before
thats 500mA up to 2A (2.4A is max for phone chargers afaik)
Not if it's a fast charging cable
fast charge is usually 2A
I've seen a YouTube video where someone attached a couple of pc fans to a laptop power supply
Well, that's something to argue about, but most chargers are
@compact cove Moh to Fox, all is fine. It was a bit of an ordeal to get things going, I had to reinstall Windows 3 times because the first two times I installed it, it did so with an MBR partition rather than a GPT, meaning that UEFI boot wasn't supported. Every time I converted it to GPT, it would loose the boot files, because for whatever dumb reason, Windows decides to install the boot files onto the Drive 0. Drive 0 happens to be my 2.5 storage SSD and the M.2 is Drive 1.
In the end, I had to reinstall Windows with the 2.5" drive disconnected and only then would it install correctly
I've done some early Cinebench runs and it's... kinda disappointing when comparing it to other scores. On stock settings I'm averaging a score of 4548 on CB20, 2031 on CB15 (both multi core). Reviews are showing the CB scores to be around 200 points higher :I
Not sure whether its because of performance penalties with the latest chipset drivers, or the latest AGESA
I feel that XD
@wide temple overclock it, dont listen to plebs saying not to
youll get the 200 points back and then some
These are my benches with some various settings enabled
Meanwhile I've seen some people hit 5000 just by overclocking :I
fyi R20 is AVX
If you have suggestions on options I should try -> 
I tried overclocking the memory using the TryIt feature and ended up having to reset the CMOS because it wouldn't bloody boot anymore
Yes
from the BIOS? Or Ryzen Master?
hm, will give that a go a little later
It seems to be happily benching at 1.4v on all cores at 4200 with Ryzen Master
I tried 1.375v and it was like NOPE
on ryzen master you only touch core clocks, not voltage
in ryzen master besides clocks do this: profile 1 > PBO > max PPT/TDC/ECC and hit apply > then manual > set clocks (start with 4200) > apply > do an R15
make sure the same voltage setting is applied in both bios and ryzen master
fyi, R20 keeps crashin on us
So 1.35v is the baseline voltage to start off of? Then up the core frequency until it starts crashing, then add more voltage?
I don't like how AMD seems to pump so much voltage on stock, it's worrying
yeah, the stock voltages are always a bit high with AMD chips, but its still safe
if you've got an X chip, you should be able to go past 4ghz at 1.35V
I also ran some benches with the Ryzen Performance plan, but it made absolutely no difference
Time to do some oc'ing
in the performance plan just set minimum cpu state to 100%
Doesn’t that mean the voltages will never to drop to idle voltages?
Alright so I’m in the BIOS now. Just set the voltage to 1.35 and leave everything else as is?
XMP profile is on profile 1
Should I just change the DRAM frequency?
Command rate is on auto (2)
command rate 1T
That’s it?
in advanced dram config....
sec
gear down mode
disable
also dram voltage 1.35 fixed
cpu core voltage 1.35
It won’t let me change the DRAM voltage 🤔
It’s really dusty I know. The key caps are wearing quite badly as well
Not sure how to enable manual mode. Can’t seem to find anything for DRAM
It is running at 1.37v atm
leave it as is then, dram is safe even at 1.8
Infinity Fabric = FCLK?
yep
shouldnt be, but ok
Nope I lie. It still doesn’t work 😹
Though some of the other voltages opened up for editing
3700x right?
wait.... did you go in ryzen master and set the PBO and clocks?
With PBO only > 2076
blonde boy
Set the clocks to 4200 synced?
All cores set to 4200 with PBO > 2160
Maybe I should try 4250...
Or try clocking each CCX individually, but that’ll take ages
obviously
Though Hwinfo is showing it’s boosting to 4.3
did 4250 work?
I tried 4225, didn’t try 4250, will try now
it shouldnt be boosting anymore..... it should be fixed frequency
Isn’t it better for it to boost naturally as it can reach higher peaks?
not over a longer period no
on boost our clocks drop to 4125
on fixed oc it maintains 4300
Hmm, so it depends on what you do. Whether it’s just short bursts of performances or long peaks
i game so idc what my husband does to the clocks for rendering
we use different settings
I’ll be mostly doing gaming probably
PBO with all cores set to 4250 > 2198
Welp, never mind. It crashed on the second run
temps....
fyi, we hit 98 C on R15
aida64 says ~190W
that moment when DRP4 isnt enough cooling
106w during CB run lul
amd be like 3700x is now a 65w chip
Temps are hitting 78c
ok, so is that why my 2600 (non X) hits 98w?
I wonder if it’s worth changing out the thermal paste, as I used the one that came with DRP4
I also took off the cooler a few times so it might have air bubbles in it? Hmm
saw no difference between noctua nt-h1 and thermal grizzly hydronaut
you do know you should replace the paste each time you remount, right?
just to be on the safe side
Yeah I know, but mounting that cooler was a Pita
cuz you didnt do it like i told you the first time.....
Even after I did it the way you told me didn’t change anything
Those fan clips are a joke and should never be used
your building skills are a joke their arent that bad
That was the only thing that caused problems. The fans 
My phanteks used a similar style system but the clips had a raised edge
Had no issues with mounting those on
Running a CB20 now, will do some more tweaking later
Lol rip, it crashed
I’ll just stick to 4200 :(
youll have to drop like 150-200mhz just to run AVX tasks
P95 for stress testing?
for temp testing?
Yes
So stress CPU, cache and system memory
Wat
cache is enough to overload the cpu
ram stress is useless
youre not pushing 3200 ram to 3800+
jeezus christ
I’m gonna try overclocking the RAM to 3600 as it’s e-die which supposedly overclocks well
Aren’t there other benches to test with as well? Can’t imagine CB is the be all end all
eh?
wtf
got a single core CPU instead 

I didn't get a very good chip either it seems, lost the silicon lottery... again
Lol wat. Now I can edit the DRAM voltage 
mobo update....
It’s on the latest BIOS yo
well then MSI did an oopsie
I can try a beta BIOS but a lot of people have reported problems with it so I’d rather wait
we are still waiting on 1.0.0.3 ABB from asrock....
Same for MSI 
they only did b350/b450 for now
i just noticed somethin weird
cpu speed keeps jumping from 4300 to 4325 and back
wtf
Wtf? It shouldn’t be boosting with an all core OC?
why is it changing when its set to a fixed speed?!
oh
it was set on pbo for some reason 🤔
says the guy who couldnt install some fans on a cooler pfft
No u
pulls out Uno card
for gaming? that would be dumb
why? latency
im going off cuz i have to wake up for work in 7 hours
cya boy who cant install a DRP4 👋

@wide temple was a lottery that bad?
Yeah this chip can only do about 4.2 stable. I also learnt that you can overclock cores separately, so say you have core 0 and 2 at 4250, they’ll run at that speed but all other cores on the CCX will run at something silly around 3400...
Guess what I’ve done
??
Wired up the reset switch to the CMOS reset pins 
😅 .
I'm currently trying to overclock my RAM but not getting anywhere, and whenever I use a value it doesn't like, it doesn't boot until I reset it
Smart Moh :)
hello its me
so many gpu's
b o x
hoarder
Is ThEeSe RtX2080tI

@wide temple u ded?
not yet
:thonk:
Did you update your chipset drivers? you might see a small perf boost with them
o
I saw a small increase in CB scores on an all core OC, but I'm sticking to PBO with no limits
Also used the Try It function to overclock my RAM, running at 16-19-19-19-39 atm. tried tightening them but Memtest would spit out errors
I don't think its voltage related either, changed the DRAM voltage to 1.45 with no dice. I should try changing the VDDP voltage and see if that helps
I tried 16-18-18-18-38, no bueno, Memtest would spit out errors
This is overclocked at 3600MHz and with the Infinity Fabric at 1800MHz
These are the stock timings: 3200 MHz (PC4-25600) CL16 (16-18-18)
16-19-19-19-39 is slower than 16-18-18-18-38
Even with a faster frequency and infinity fabric clock? 
moh the lower the better especially with ram
AMD processors run better with higher frequency RAM though (in most cases)
I'll have to do some testing
Or I'll just wait for the new AGESA to be made available for my BIOS before doing any more RAM tweaking, cos it'll probably mess up my RAM overclock
the note 10 has some crazy colors
i dont see why not
i run similar with a phenom ii 925 and a gigabyte windforce radeon hd7950
It’s here!
And the rest of my parts are here too
Gonna do the upgrade when I get home from work later
@placid dragon welcome to the 3900x club
i want the prism cooler too
it looks gr8
or any rgb cooler tbh
i got the wraith max but it only goes red, yellow, green for some reason 
Do you want mine? 
Give me dolla
Idk 
@wide temple in case of RMA, you need the entire package
Yeah that’s true :(
I want to order another case fan. But idk if I should go for the NF -A12x25 or the Silent Wings 3
we have 1600rpm SW3
they are loud above 1300rpm
(not as loud as the ML120s on the gpu at 1700rpm out of 2200 tho)
I'll probably be using the new fan as an intake anyway
also loud as in, audibly loud, or loud because of the case? 
The Silent Wings fans on the DRP4 are whisper silent
turn them up to full and see
we have the same drp4 fans
same noise tone and level as the case ones
So many threads!
Anyone got experience with Gdata Internet Security? A task of that program takes up nearly 11 gigs of ram constantly...
servers dont count....
fyi restarted a few days ago got chipset update
normally its at least 20-25 days before we even consider a restart
was off for the night
no oc? REEEEE
it's not stable at stock 
the parts aren't exactly... from a trustworthy source let's just say
chinese mobo?
from some German guy
the 1080 Ti FE in this system had a warranty sticker from GeForce 8 series
(for the record, that series came out 12 years ago)
8600m oof
it got the job done
that's what the options are ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I think it's one of those games you kinda have to play
a game that's managed to stay as one of the most popular games for 10 years, the best selling video game of all time, and one that definitely changed the industry
no fly list
You’re not a gamer if you haven’t played Minecraft
Also I’m glad I’m not the only one who keeps their PC running all the time 
Though I should stop doing that now, having all solid state storage means that boot up is instant, if MSI would fix their BIOS
i've played minecraft and got bored of it
youre not a gamer if you havent finished this:
i've played it but never owned a nes or snes and a copy of the game
You're not a gamer if you haven't played NFSU2 and GTA San Andreas
i still have my copy of NFSU2
but my copy locks up everytime i jump the bridge after escaping from the cops
You're not a true 2000's guy if you didn't play nfsu and actually thought it was cool
i played midnight club when it was cool
tfw you have to install Windows XP in a VM to get some old piece of software working
hell i even remember paying gta when it was a top down shooter
I have made a video on how to get the song/music TITLE From Windows XP!!!!!! Windows Vista/7 Users! Here is the new Link to download the Song: http://cid-6...
This just started playing 😍
@compact cove the DRP4 fans are slightly louder than the stock case ones 🤔
seems I can also run the cooler passively under certain temps 
First time ever hitting 99% GPU utilisation in ETS 2 
ASUS's software looks so nice and clean
Thanks windows, I guess
It's winter here
oh that makes sense 
Also my CPU cooler is a Corsair h100i

Do you have an AM4 socket CPU?
laughs in superiority of air cooling 

Same software ||Sorry for the ghost ping Zola||
I went with Ryzen 2700X & ROG CROSSHAIR VII HERO (WI-FI)
But can't OC, it's already hot enough as it is :x
Damn
What's your spec?
Ryzen 3900x and ASUS Pro WS X570 ACE
Oh fancy
I have an issue with my MB I think as it just occasionally freezes before booting
Trust me I thought the same
But my computer hangs for like 30 seconds before booting
Mine has to be forced off and restarted
Enter BIOS and just restart again
Quite annoying when you want that sweet desktop image 

@signal pagoda your cpu is hot cuz the idiots at Asus and their MCE are putting 1.45v into your 2700x
Oof
manually set your cpu to 1.4v @4.2ghz and youll see some temps drop
im not sure how low 2700x can go at full speed, but it should be around 1.35v
is it above 30 C?
Was close to 23C today. Was 14 the day before lol
I live in a cold country and I don't like anything above 25
ikr, but again, thats a good ambient temp for a pc
But thanks for the info tho. Changed the voltage
True true. Living in a basement and the heat is trapped xd
basement life
i live in a penthouse.... and its summer.... and its 40 C in the sun during the day.....
It was bad enough when I was in Berlin with 35 C 😅
But 40 C, I would gladly hop in a fridge
Well, right now it's around 20 yeah
what you should do to lower the cpu temps more:
drop the vcore voltage in increments of 0.125v until its not stable anymore
use somethin like cinebench R15 or geekbench to check the stability
my cpu is idling at 26c
i took my R5 2600 from 1.45v down to 1.3875v while maintaining full boost frequency
Nice
also, Asus software is complete scheisse
we had a 6700k with a Z170 Deluxe before we switched to Ryzen
and that stupid Asus software would lock up the system when changing just about anything in it
for Ryzen id say Asrock is top notch
i have a B450 Fatality mITX under my 2600
and my husband has an X470 Taichi Ultimate under his 3900x
haswell dropped solder as far as i remember
i think ivy bridge were the last intel chips to be soldered? dont remember
Oof the FX
my husband has a friend that still uses a 9590 as his daily.....
I mean, it still holds up well enough
I had the 6350 iirc
And a very very very cheap motherboard that took ages to post
my leap was bigger..... athlon64 x2 5000+ to intel 2nd gen
dual core, no HT straight to laptop i7 2nd gen
You win (:
and before the 5000+ i had a single core athlon 1800+ (1.53ghz)
I was 6 when it was launched (had too look it up)
wat
yes, unfortunately
I've been playing Forza the last day or so with the Xbox Game Pass
oh pls, don't tell me you're gonna be one of those people that gets triggered by my status
no, but it makes me think you were screwing around with the cpu and you electrocuted/burned yourself and thats why youre off 🤔

im worried, you pleb
sike 
anyway, I tried the latest MSI beta BIOS, which is still running on the old AGESA 1.0.0.3AB with the patch notes saying "improved memory compatibility"
still can't get my timings any tighter
16-18-18-36 still dont work?
3600, 16-19-19-19-39 is the best I can get it to be 100% stable
nope
But I can run it at 4000 CL16 perfectly fine 
dont push to 3600, its useless
I can't even run it at 3200 CL14
3200, 16-18-18-18-36
It straight up doesn't boot if I set it to that
Those are the default timings anyway
performance wise they are on par with your 3600
but its less strain on the mem controller
I'll do some synthetic benchmark testing tomorrow if I can be bothered. Forza should be a good test for it I hope
aida64 has some insanely good mem tests (for read-write-copy speed)
also sidenote, it's a really fun game, worth downloading even if you can only play it for 3 months (4 months if you add a payment option, you get 1 month extra free)
ye true that
that's what I get on 3600, 16-19-19-19-39
oh those, ye,, but they're not as detailed tbh
in fact, no, those are the same tests 
meh, I'd rather run one test once that does multiple things than do 4 individual runs 
cuz lazy? 
yes, I am
good? 😹
maybe not lazy.. just energy efficient 
im still strugglin with assetto corsa btw
whatchu struggling with
wheel setup
pleb
git
what wheel is it?
my ets/ats wheel 😹
but which one? manufacturer and model
hori apex rwa
can't say I've ever heard of it, though I'm surprised you're having issues with it, asseto corsa's community is pretty big
im not having issues with the wheel itself
im having issues to get my kind of wheel settings in the game
ahh
I can't say I know anything about that to help you unfortunately, I've used my siblings G29 a few times in my life on ETS2 and that's about it
i wanted a g920
my husband said he would rather buy an x570 taichi than get me a g920 😐
oh and yea, we are still on 1.0.0.3 AB
@placid dragon yes I have am4 socket
Get a g29 
g920 > g29
there’s legit no difference except them being for separate consoles but yano
also, @wide temple do me a favor and try 3200 with 16-17-17-17-35
@sand valley there is, slightly different internals
g29 is a good wheel
cuz i have a feeling
well let me eat my ice lolly first (yes I'm still a kid, no I have no shame)
ur only saying that cause I’m here moh smh
i read that as 'ice loli' thonk
fbi, freeze!

Not good !
@wide temple i said 3200 with 16-17-17-17-35
oh
i wonder what mine are 🤔
Seems to be stable with those timings. I’ll do some benching tomorrow if I can be bothered
i found my timings and they are 15-17-17-35
@compact cove psst, what’s the maximum your CPU hits when running Prime95?
I think moh meant the 3900x
3900x ye
98-99 C
stock? no PBO /oc?
no idea stock
yowza
Yoo guys, got any recommendation for mobile and extreme duty laptop ? I prefer DELL and Acer brands, maybe HP but it's last option. I love with battery life and working inside mobile so like vibration and drop trouble.
Still confusing with one to choose XD. Btw I'm from Asia but it's fine if you find your model on your country. I'm gonna find the closest spec.
What about Lenovo Thinkpads? Some of them meet military standards in quality (in case you are concerned about vibration and drop trouble)
Otherwise just get a computer which has an outdoor or other special certification
And make sure that you have an SSD built in
Do you need a strong CPU only or a strong GPU as well?
How long must the battery last (minimum/maximum)?
i have one
just bit like 2 weeks now theyre good and light and are durable
just keyboard needs some getting used to
SSD must be sure of it, battery maybe for more than 6/8 hours
CPU and GPu no need about that one, just like bussiness laptop and basic standard program. Maybe CPU yeah
I need more just in case
mine was 700euros
has ssd
i have this
Okay, I just found it. Not bad tough, and fit on my budget.
Thanks, it's on my list now
@hollow relic here's a Dell if you are still looking for one https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/learn/rugged?mkwid=s2oYz3DUc&pcrid=379228167275&pkw=&pmt=b&pdv=t&slid=&product=&pgrid=52616763526&ptaid=dsa-538115403526&VEN1=s2oYz3DUc,379228167275,901qz26673,t,,,52616763526,dsa-538115403526&VEN2=b,cid=85872&lid=817600&dgc=st&dgseg=COM&acd=12309215337205629&gclid=EAIaIQobChMImOznkcSj5AIVwf_jBx1cZAXbEAAYAiAAEgLbnvD_BwE
Yum
😜
i9-9900k or i7-9700k that's my choice currently i have a i7-6800k
@spiral yew
Hahahah, I was thinking about that. But too expensive, in my country more Rp. 35.000.000 (USD $2.500). I need around Rp. 16.000.000 (USD $1.200) XD
@wide temple you don’t need that much paste lol, size of a pea minimum
^true about paste.
Pea size didn’t work for me the other day. Not enough coverage and has soaring temperatures, it’s fine now though
if it works, its fine anyway
Oof my frend tired sell this for 100euros
Talking about ripping people off... lol
well... its not that bad for the price... it can stilll run some games
Wind 7 free and it take 5min to open up all things but can fix with ssd but he got ripped on this he bought this for 250euros
can be fixed with a reformatting
Yrue
I think it's fine buying Dell Rugged Extreme, I can use it for hiking, camping, and extreme condition without worry. But my bill just came up again like bought this Acer Predator. Hohohohohohooh, can't bought new phone for next year. Better living in laptop than phone.
Btw thanks for all advice
Can i run TMP ets2 on a I5-3470, GTX 1060 3gb Sim2 or 1 on high quality? 🤔
Yeah, it depends on connectivity band and your memory for heavy traffic on MP
But my advice for MP just use mid one cause you know, not much great scene you can see the MP just wanna feel driving with people not AI. But for SP I'm truly advice it to high one for the scene and nice AI looking. Maybe you can use graphics mod too.
FPS will significantly drop in MP, especially in highly populated areas, no matter what pc you have
even a titan rtx can't make TMP run smoothly in calais
I mean, i can use it when driving. Will try to lock my fps and once it drops i can downgrade to a lower graphics settings.
But ok, Thanks for your help guys!
yeah, most of the time it should be fine anyways for 1080p@60fps in tmp with high details
yeah that's what i get most of the time, and i don't even have a very powerful computer
@fading stump I got a laptop with a 1050ti and I run the game just fine on Ultra with easy 90-100FPS. (60 right now because the monitor is 60hz and stuff). 30FPS with like 80 people on the C-D road and about 15-20 in Duisburg with A LOT of people around. All on Ultra. I should reduce it a bit in crowded cities.
So I guess you should be fine with a 1060. Tho I guess your CPU should make a big difference. Mine is an i7 7700HQ so keep that in mind.
But I think your specs are more than enough to run it on high
Yes, Once everything is done and together i'll be looking for a i7 or maybe even a i9
Good idea. That's an old CPU for a 1060
I havent tested my laptop on mp yet 😂
I should
All i use it for right now is YouTube and stuff lol
Lmao
But what would you say is better to play ets2 on an
AMD A10 7860k 16gb 1050 ti
Or a
Intel core i5-3470 8GB GTX 1060 3gb
Kinda between those 2 options...
SP or MP ?
For MP it's hard to get high graphics when heavy traffic.
Almost impossible to get high fps on that case
Maybe you can get around 30 - 50 fps for heavy traffic
Maybe CD road, and Duisburg gonna be problem on it
That's for sure
A10
Okay
Because i also have a I5-4570 somewhere laying brand new
But idk if that would be great
Hahahahahahahaha, you need to take it slowly. Which part you need most, the GPU/CPU
Yeah.
Maybe I said bought i7 more accurate and stable for high using CPU.
Never tries i9 for work/gaming and not yet learn to configure it
4th gen i5 is plenty fast enough
i9 is just throwing money away
it's literally an epeen extension
But I'm usually using i7 HQ and H series
My main goal is that i can drive with others
And thats was great, maybe more great for Xeon but not enough money XD
And have fun with a nice graphics so i can really enjoy the game
i5 4th gen and a 1060 will get you there
Xeon doesn't give you any benefit over consumer chips
For me, for rendering the 3D it's very helpful
they are more power hungry, and usually at a lower clock
Yeah XD
But just in case
unless your workload is AVX powered, you gain nothing from a Xeon
Xeon sucks atleast for the experience i had with it.
Better take i7 for more general purpose but have high usage for it
in AVX256 workloads, even an old Xeon beats newer i7s, but at a significant power cost
That's right
also most workloads aren't pure AVX
Xeons aren't any worse than standard chips other than a few hundred MHz slower though within the same gen
Not much workload pure AVX maybe just 2 of 10
Should a i5 4gen 1050 ti be good too?
Its more like Viva has around atleast max 10 people in there convoy.
Yeah, it should be good
10 still can handle it even maybe around 15
It depend where your VTC traffic going
If like Oslo to Amsterdam its fine, but CD not sure XD
Mhmm, i dont like driving around busy areas.
So when they go around germany like duisburg
So it should fine up to 20. Just watch the internet broadband
No problem
