[peak oracle]

You get.. 43

Aussie internet is funky

[spiral yew]

our city isn't large enough to have it's own data center

[peak oracle]

Bruh my internet connects to MELBOURNE

[hollow drum]

Well not better then mine thank you next

[peak oracle]

There's a data centre every capital city

And some in between the capital cities

[spiral yew]

afaik we only have 3 choices for internet where i live

[hollow drum]

Ouch

[peak oracle]

We have like 5

[spiral yew]

dial-up 👎 , DSL, and cable

[peak oracle]

Telstra, Optus, Dodo, NBN, Belong, and one more

[spiral yew]

oh i also forgot satellite internet

[hollow drum]

Bell bell fibe videotron and some others

[spiral yew]

here the companies are TWC/spectrum, and century link

and a local company called omni-tech

[light palm]

oh get let me try, I bet I get some shocking results

lol

[spiral yew]

https://www.speedtest.net is what i used

[peak oracle]

Same

[light palm]

I don’t understand how my results are so bad although i have no internet issues in game

[hollow drum]

Ill show you mine oncs I get home over wifi i get like 300 downlaod and 400 upload

[spiral yew]

i tried a different server and this is what i got

[peak oracle]

I'll try a different server too

[peak oracle]

But I like Telstra Melbourne

Melbourne is like [REDACTED]km away

[light palm]

im so confused, my results compared to you guys are shocking

but it doesn’t really effect my gameplay

[peak oracle]

Same results

[spiral yew]

ozzy the problem is that while you might not see a difference other people can

[peak oracle]

My upload max 19

[spiral yew]

benz you got 1GB speeds?

[peak oracle]

Prob

[spiral yew]

if i wanted to pay for it i could technically get those speeds

[peak oracle]

I'm covering my IP

[spiral yew]

nice hand reveal

[peak oracle]

Cool

[spiral yew]

you playing on a tv?

[peak oracle]

Yeaj

[light palm]

will upload speed effect gaming

[peak oracle]

Covering my IP, once again

[spiral yew]

da fuq did you do

[peak oracle]

Kbps

Haha

[spiral yew]

oh you changed it

[peak oracle]

Yeah

It's more precise

But it says I'm in a suburb next to mine

Ha well

[spiral yew]

after doing multiple speed test i'm capped at 11.78 Mbps for upload

[peak oracle]

I was capped at 18mbps

19

[light palm]

looked it up and you don’t need the best of the best to game online

[peak oracle]

18-19

My CPU/APU

[spiral yew]

you should boost it to 4Ghz

[peak oracle]

It only goes to 3.5

@spiral yew

[spiral yew]

but it say's it's unlocked

[peak oracle]

Yeah read more

[spiral yew]

max boost 3.5Ghz

[peak oracle]

Yup

[spiral yew]

that's the factory boost

[peak oracle]

How do I boost it more

But it's in a office PC

[spiral yew]

oh

[spiral yew]

well rip you then

[peak oracle]

Yup

But how do I boost it?

[spiral yew]

through the BIOS if it will let you

but only do it if you know what you are doing

if you screw up you could end up burning up your cpu

[peak oracle]

T r u e d a t

[spiral yew]

overclocking should be left to the professionals

[peak oracle]

t r u e

But can I put better graphics on ETS

[spiral yew]

with it being a office pc i doubt there is room for a 970 or something like that

[peak oracle]

O

Does this help tho

[light palm]

ok I’m upgrading my WiFi tomorrow

I feel like a peasant

only £9 more a month for super fast

[brave linden]

Laugh if it is the same speed

[spiral yew]

lol ozzy

[hollow drum]

@peak oracle yes it does also make sure your cables arent everywhere the better cable management the better airflow

[spiral yew]

the case i have now has poor cable management in the back of the case

[hollow drum]

Back of the case doesnt matter really what matters is the front

[spiral yew]

the panel on the back of mine doesn't slide on i have to force it on

[hollow drum]

Oof

[spiral yew]

i basically have to bear hug my pc to get the back panel on

[hollow drum]

Lol mine you just push on then to take it oof push a button and it just pops into your hands

[spiral yew]

what i'm thinking about getting with my tax refund

https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/cases/mid-tower/mastercase-h500m/

what i have now https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/cases/mid-tower/n600

[hollow drum]

Nzxt h700i

[light palm]

quality difference between my laptop screen and tv monitor is crazy

[sand valley]

Was gonna put it in #general but I thought this was a more fitting channel. So let's say I want to make a rig that can handle a congested C-D road. What specs should it have?

[clever spire]

I have a GTX 1080 with an overclocked 7700k @ 4.9ghz and still go to below 30fps in places like Duisburg and Calais, you can't really make TMP lag-proof with any rig

[light palm]

Struggling to get the right picture settings as I prefer a cooler colour, changed it to cool but still very warm looking

nvm it has a gaming picture mode lol

[hollow drum]

I get like 70-80 FPS in duisberg/calais with a 2070 auto OC to like 1750 and a OC 8700k to 4.9 plus 16gb of ddt4 3600mhz ram

[brittle mountain]

still work in progress

[spiral yew]

ddt4 is that some kind of new ram?

[pastel lodge]

wat

[light palm]

my pc still hasn’t arrived, it’s been 9 working days. looks like it sits at pre-production for a week or so as that’s how long the waiting list is, then once it moves onto the next stage which is building, they will test and dispatched with delivery coming in at around 2 days

[sand valley]

Not sure if I should get 16gb ram instead of 8

[sterile crypt]

16gb is advisable

It's more future proof and I've already played some games that pushed it over 8gb

[distant zodiac]

Really depends, most games are fine with 8gb just the odd few that love to eat ram e.g. space engineers will consume 16gb easily

[pastel lodge]

its a pc

just go overkill

get 64 gb

[sterile crypt]

It’s true that it’s mostly AAA games that push the 8GB

[remote estuary]

I'd go for either 16gb or 32gb now

[spiral yew]

@viral lark lets talk here

[viral lark]

ok

@spiral yew

[spiral yew]

i saw it in #general

[viral lark]

oh

yeah

thats what my discord looks like

[spiral yew]

you on ios or android

[viral lark]

iOS 13.3

[elfin wolf]

IOS probably

Ye that's why

[viral lark]

Also

[elfin wolf]

It looks different on iOS then Android

[viral lark]

I am on TestFlight

[elfin wolf]

What the hell is TestFlight

[viral lark]

So mine will be different in ways compared to the Regular iOS version

[spiral yew]

that's probably the beta version for iOS

[elfin wolf]

Do they have planes in discord dev house now

[viral lark]

TestFlight. Beta

but its not like Andriod

you need to accepted into most

there are some that you can just join

[spiral yew]

yea testflight is the beta version of iOS

[viral lark]

no

TestFlight is where you get Beta Versions of Apps

not iOS Beta

thats different

I have a devloper profile so I got iOS 13 early

cause devloper betas

[spiral yew]

https://testflight.apple.com/join/gdE4pRzI

[viral lark]

oo

I had to get my code in an email

after aplying

I guess it changed

thats what test flight looks like

if you have apps

[hollow drum]

I know what testflight is

Use it at my job

[hollow drum]

My pc beats yours doe 👀👀

[compact cove]

im pressing X to doubt

[light palm]

pc isn’t going to be dispatched until wednesday, then next day delivery hopefully

[compact cove]

@hollow drum 3900x, 32gb ram, 1080ti, 7.5tb storage

[sand valley]

Dose TruckBook work on phone

As far as being ably to see your logs

[hollow drum]

@compact cove dang it 2070 oc i7-9700k oc 4.9 16gb of 3600 ram

[spiral yew]

old pic of my setup

[sand valley]

[spiral yew]

i have a 1080ti in the gaming pc now

the streaming pc used to be my gaming pc

[sand valley]

I like the twitch thot u were watching

[spiral yew]

lol she streamed yesterday

her and asmond are only together for the money

[sand valley]

Lol

[spiral yew]

i'd post a new pic of my desk but it's messy

[wide temple]

hahaha Beni, it's not the first time someone's mocked him for that

[spiral yew]

don't really watch her anymore

i watch a couple others but not gonna tell ya

[compact cove]

@hollow drum my 2nd pc: ryzen 5 2600 4ghz oc, 16gb 3200mhz, 1660ti oc, 2tb ssd

[hollow drum]

nice

I would of got a new ryzen with my 2070 but I already spent like 4k on the PC

[compact cove]

mine was 'only' 1k but its now hooked up to a 4K 120hz tv

[light palm]

It’s so tempting, but a waste of money

[spiral yew]

i have a 27 inch curved 165hz 1ms monitor from MSI

[hollow drum]

@compact cove For the second one or you main one?

[woven turtle]

Wait that 24" is almost 200£??

[spiral yew]

yea looks like it

[woven turtle]

oof I got my 32" for the same price

[spiral yew]

what i have https://us.msi.com/Monitor/Optix-G27C4

[compact cove]

@hollow drum 2nd, main has 3 monitors

[woven turtle]

I got the same version of ozzyxr but then 32"

[spiral yew]

i can buy the 27 inch version for less than $200 USD

[hollow drum]

@compact cove Makes sense why mine was more then your 2nd pc then

[spiral yew]

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-49-Inch-Curved-Monitor-LC49RG90SSNXZA/dp/B07L9HCJ2V/ref=dp_ob_title_ce

[wide temple]

@light palm how big's your desk?

[spiral yew]

moh i paid over 1k for my 1080ti

[hollow drum]

All I'm saying is no one can say I'm spoiled

[wide temple]

used or new?

[peak oracle]

?

[wide temple]

1080Ti prices shot up after RTX got announced

I regret not upgrading mine lol

[final dagger]

Holy

[spiral yew]

new

[final dagger]

Is that a tv

[wide temple]

would have made good money selling it after

[final dagger]

Buy a wheel stand for 100€

It‘s maybe a bit much, but worth it

[spiral yew]

i have a wheel stand for my g27

[wide temple]

You'll be needing a chiropractor if you're using a screen of that size on a daily basis, good grief

[hollow drum]

I don't bother with a stand really. I put my g27 on my desk and call it a day

[final dagger]

Thats my wheel stand

[hollow drum]

I think my desk is a good size but I'm gonna upgrade to a bigger 1 so I can fit to monitors

[wide temple]

That monitor is so tiny

[spiral yew]

beenz move the desk it away from the wall and put the tower on the floor

[hollow drum]

It's 24inch @wide temple

@spiral yew So it can collect more dust on the floor no thanks

[spiral yew]

mine is on the floor

[wide temple]

34" here, using normal monitors seems so alien to me

[spiral yew]

i made a floor stand for mine though

[peak oracle]

Bruv

[hollow drum]

Well I play FPS so I feel it would be better to have 24inch 144hz 1ms monitor. But I do plan on getting either a 240hz 1ms 24inch or the new 340hz 1ms monitor

[spiral yew]

the only game you would get 240fps on is CSGO

[wide temple]

You'll be getting diminishing returns anything above 144Hz to be honest

[hollow drum]

@spiral yew Ya no thanks also I got a case with tempered glass on the side so I can see my beautiful PC not to just put it on the ground

[peak oracle]

I don't blame my office PC

[hollow drum]

@wide temple It depends on how much FPS you get. I think

[wide temple]

Unless you're planning to go pro where you really need that refresh rate, it's not worth it over getting something with better colours

G-sync reduces the need to target a certain FPS though, and FreeSync (seeing as its available on most monitors now)

[peak oracle]

I use a 55' Samsung Smart TV

Haha

[wide temple]

No offence Zir, but you're causing yourself serious eye strain using a screen that large as a daily driver for your PC

[hollow drum]

Moh I don't use that my current monitor doesn't have it but I debating to get a MSI or Benq monitor

[peak oracle]

Yeah I'm getting a monitor

[spiral yew]

beenz i can't even hit 120fps on doom maxed out

[peak oracle]

|•|

[wide temple]

Unless you have robotic eyes where you can see everything so clearly which I doubt, it's not worth the damage to your eyes, especially when you're younger

[peak oracle]

True

[spiral yew]

beenz this is what i have https://us.msi.com/Monitor/Optix-G27C4

[hollow drum]

@spiral yew Well I don't play doom so it's irrelevant to me. You can get 60 FPS on a game but that doesn't mean 144hz is useless as you'll play other games that may reach 144hz. Rainbow six I get 300 FPS and low of like 260 while streaming

[peak oracle]

I have driver version 342.01

Oh boy

[spiral yew]

ewww playing on low graphics

[peak oracle]

I use GeForce 210 😭

No bulli

[hollow drum]

I play ets2 on all ultra and get 150. 70-80 in packed areas

[spiral yew]

not you ziron con

you don't need 150fps on ets2

[peak oracle]

I get like 20fps max

And I'm happy with it

[hollow drum]

Seige on high/ultra with some settings medium or low I get 300FPS. Cod I get like 160/200 on like medium high settings some ultra

[peak oracle]

How do I check if I have a SSD

[spiral yew]

i highly doubt you get 300fps on seige

[hollow drum]

@spiral yew You sure about that?

[peak oracle]

his PC is so good I stg

I watched his stream

[spiral yew]

what gpu you got beenz

[hollow drum]

2070OC. I7-9700k OC @spiral yew

on my old PC I got 90-100 FPS

[hidden shell]

Windows Key + E, right click your disk, Hardware tab and google your disk model @peak oracle

[hollow drum]

Siege isn't hard to run

[peak oracle]

Disk

[hidden shell]

It's an SSD

[peak oracle]

Ah

Should I download AMD performance monitor

[hidden shell]

Why?

[peak oracle]

To check on my CPU

[hidden shell]

It doesn't hurt

[hollow drum]

Or you can use CPU-Z

[hidden shell]

If you do not plan to do any OC, Task Manager is more usefull 🙂

[hollow drum]

Well I can see my Temp of my CPU on my motherboard so. I know if my overclock is too high for my liking. Or if my cpu cooler is not working properly

[hidden shell]

My answer was more for Zir-conis

I know you fiddle with OC a lot so you need more specialised tools

[hollow drum]

hehe xD ❤️

I only OCed my CPU my ram is base clocked at 3600 well to make sure it was set to that I had to activate it in BIOS then GPU auto OC so I don't really fiddle much just change between 5.1 and 4.9

[peak oracle]

2011?!?

[wide temple]

Fix your screen border wtf

[peak oracle]

Yeah

Not bothered to

[hidden shell]

What's 2011?

[peak oracle]

The setup

24/03/2011

28/09/2011

22/03/2011

[hollow drum]

That's when the storage was last setup

[peak oracle]

That's a big dodgy

Ok I loaded TMP

I'll just peek at task manager

Oh god I love task manager

LGHUB agent does.me.dirty

[hollow drum]

99% CPU for me

[peak oracle]

Oof

[hollow drum]

Cod is downloading shaders so yeet

[peak oracle]

Haha

I only have GTA IV and ETS2

[hidden shell]

The hell, isn't that the ssoftware from logitech? And it's using all that cpu?

[peak oracle]

Yeah

I use it to configure my.G29

Is it mãlwãrë

[hidden shell]

Can'tt your use the Logictech Profiler with the G29?

I'd remove it and reinstall, it's really not normal

Not malware but it is not behaving normaly

[hollow drum]

@hidden shell The profiler like the old style logitech software used for the G27?

[hidden shell]

I typed logitech and G29 and a bunchhh of faalse logitech website showed up, where didd you download this from?

[hollow drum]

46 CPU usage while running cod in the main menu

[hidden shell]

Yes Beenz

[hollow drum]

I don't think so as the G27 has different hardware then the G29. At least I think. The G27 can't be used with the new logitech software. So I think it will be the same the other way around

[hidden shell]

Like the second link here, is this legit?

I

I'll do some research

[hollow drum]

If it takes you to the logitech website then it's legit

[light palm]

@wide temple I would probably need to put my pc under my desk if I were to get those things

[hidden shell]

That's what's weird , it doesn't but it appears legit, it is owned by Logitech

[light palm]

but it’s definitely big enough to accommodate a 27inch, if I wanted

[hollow drum]

I don't bother with 27inch I feel 24inch is just perfect for me anyways. So I'm gonna end up getting a new desk and a new monitor so I can run 2 monitors

[wide temple]

get a desk mat instead of a mouse mat

[hidden shell]

Triples or go home 🙂

[wide temple]

It'll look better too

[light palm]

I had both, don’t know why

oh cause the actual mouse pad is rgb

[hidden shell]

Not too bad, doing a backup, 1.3Gb/s

[hollow drum]

@hidden shell Don't make me come over just to play on your PC

I know what metro you take

[light palm]

are you going to use the two monitors for ets at the same time

[hidden shell]

You'd be welcome 🙂

[light palm]

I don’t see the point, it annoys me

[hollow drum]

@light palm No as I stream, I would use 1 for game and 1 for chat etc

[light palm]

oh, fair enough

[hollow drum]

@hidden shell I'm coming over

[light palm]

I don’t see the need for having 2+ screens just for ets

[hidden shell]

Go, might wan't to mind the ice outside 🙂

ets with triples is really worth it ozzyxr

[light palm]

messes with my eyes

[hollow drum]

@hidden shell I got my nikes on and I'm ready

[light palm]

i was used to playing on a 14 inch laptop for a while, so 24 is perfect

I just use my mouse to look around the cabin anyway

[hollow drum]

@hidden shell Did you realize there is like no snow. Like there is but like the sidewalks are not full of snow at least where I live and the 2 locations I work at.

[wide temple]

ETS Ultrawide is even better

[hidden shell]

I was more talking about the ice storm that's brewing

[hollow drum]

Moh go home me and Sysgen are having a Montreal moment

@hidden shell Oh god when is it hitting

[wide temple]

Sounds like you two would be better off in #general then 🙂

[hollow drum]

Ice storms are created by government technology

[hidden shell]

Tonight Beenz

[hollow drum]

oh god I'm gonna stand in it wanna join?

[sand valley]

Almost got all the needed money for the pc

I guess I'm gonna go 8gb ram

And 16 in the future

[wraith crystal]

well 8gb is laptop standard today i would get the 16gb so you can run a few stuff at a time like a few tabs on google (or what ever Brower you like) Spotify (if you want it) discord and truckersMP. so bye that time your 8gb would be dead

[sand valley]

I'd only use disc and I'm buying a pc not a laptop

So

I can change is in a couple if months

[wraith crystal]

yeah just pointing out that 8gb are for laptops

[distant zodiac]

Had this issue a while ago but never got round to a solution, any idea what the next steps are regarding this?

[remote estuary]

Have you ever done a "SFC /Scannow" in command prompt? That usually fixes stuff

Then these 3 commands, in administrator mode

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

I recall doing this procedure to fix my corrupt recycle bin

[distant zodiac]

Followed something online which directed me to the built in driver verifier, it's doing something now as it found a faulty driver. If that doesn't work I'll give those commands a go

[remote estuary]

Never seen that error tbf

On the other side, I know the "critical process died" well

[distant zodiac]

Seems fine now, it went into recovery and did it all automatically from the bluescreen. I can only assume that's part of the process. Will update if it happens again.

[remote estuary]

[hollow drum]

Laptops 🤢

[agile ermine]

8bg ram is for laptops

bruh

wtf is that?

8gb is enough to run most games and even have some stuffs running on the side

[hollow drum]

Laptops < Gaming PC

[agile ermine]

gaming laptops = portable gaming PCs

[hollow drum]

Hmmm

[sand valley]

No

[halcyon rune]

[hidden fjord]

Chrome needs more RAM

Feed it

[chilly imp]

Does chrome ever have enough ram?

[hidden fjord]

Nope

It needs more and more

[hollow drum]

16gb and good internet and my chrome is fine runs like a purring kitten

[sterile crypt]

The farthest I was ever able to push Chrome was 6GB

[distant sparrow]

I got my new pc today

[hollow drum]

nice

[compact cove]

chrome crashes once it passes 9gb of ram used

[sinful monolith]

I was going to put that to a test, but then I realized I don't have that much RAM free and would prefer not to freeze my entire OS

[spiral yew]

Well this sucks I believe my psu went bad

Hmmmm interesting 🤔 now my psu works

Man I hate technology sometimes

[sinful monolith]

Today is the day https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4057281/windows-7-support-will-end-on-january-14-2020

[hidden fjord]

[peak oracle]

[hollow drum]

Thank god windows 7 was nothing but issues

[hasty ether]

No it wasn't Vista was the one for it's issues

[hollow drum]

no window 7 was. You know how many issues people had just because of windows 7? They made a knowledge base page on how to fix the issue

[distant sparrow]

bruhh

i9 9900k be pretty hot

[hollow drum]

@distant sparrow what cooler do you have?

[distant sparrow]

Noctua NH-D15

[hollow drum]

Is the cooler working properly and whats the temp?

[distant sparrow]

cooler is working properly

80c

while playing

on ultra graphics

nfs:heat

after a 2 hour session of playing

or 3 idk

I'm just going to let it chilll

then play more

I got stuff to do anyways

[hollow drum]

Try restarting PC and setting fan speeds to performance

[distant sparrow]

where?

i can put the gtx 1080 ti-s 3 fans up to 100% but then it sounds like an nuclear reactor

[hollow drum]

@distant sparrow I don't know what case you have/fans and I'm not familiar with the cooler but you should be able to download or already have a software on your PC where you can control fan speeds

[remote estuary]

RIP Windows 7

[sand token]

My university is currently performing the upgrade to Windows 10 on all computers

[sinful monolith]

nothing better than waiting until the last minute

something goes wrong and you're either stuck fixing it live or have to rollback to an unsupported version

[hollow drum]

3V software has malfunctioned

[halcyon rune]

why these look so retarded

[peak oracle]

DDR3+DDR4 = good or bad?

[sterile crypt]

Either DDR3 or DDR4, not both

[peak oracle]

I have both tho

[sterile crypt]

In 1 system?

[peak oracle]

Yup

[sterile crypt]

At what speed?

[peak oracle]

Idk

My CPU is 3.50ghz

Not sure bout my GPU

[spiral yew]

zircon you do realize that you just destroyed your motherboard

[hollow drum]

You should never mix ram like that IMO

[spiral yew]

DDR3 ram won't fit in a DDR4 motherboard

[distant zodiac]

So the SSD had come loose over time and was throwing up errors and boot drive not connected and causing random crashes , etc. Only one thing leaves me mythed, the led on the ssd itself. First time I've saw that

[spiral yew]

what is this download file?

[distant zodiac]

Supposed to be a video, but for some reason discord is being a pain and not embedding

[hollow drum]

Can't see the video it's asking for additional stuff after download.

I suggest making sure the cables are properly plugged into the ssd and the powersupply

[spiral yew]

the imaginative lad was that taken from a iphone?

[distant zodiac]

Android, P10 EMUI 9.0

oh 9.1

Oh now this is interesting, HEVC codec required.

Never had that before

[compact cove]

@spiral yew some mobos can do DDR3L + DDR4 at the same time

[distant zodiac]

Let's see if this one works

[spiral yew]

nope

[distant zodiac]

wtf

[compact cove]

videos dont get embedded unless posted from a video website (like yt, coub, tik tok etc)

[distant zodiac]

Literally only happening today. Been fine recently, damn

Ok, H.265 that's why. Weird it's changed that, and the res has been dropped from 4k which is also a strange one

[hollow drum]

@distant zodiac Oh you're talking about a phone not a computer correct?

[distant zodiac]

Phone took the video, initially it was about my laptop but the phone took my interest more lol

[peak oracle]

DDR7 gang

[distant zodiac]

Video was only showing a blinking LED on an SSD lol

[peak oracle]

I'm hungry

[spiral yew]

hmmmm what game should i play to warm up my room lol

[distant zodiac]

Uploaded to YouTube: https://youtu.be/dJU-TSHYnUw

So basically I re-seated the SSD as I was getting crashes and the odd "Boot Drive not Detected, etc" and noticed it blinks which is a first for me

I know there have always been lights to show activity but never on the drive itself

[spiral yew]

you know there is a check disk function on the disc drive in windows right?

[distant zodiac]

Yeah, been there done that lol

and the sfc one as well which not only checks but also replaces the files in question

[spiral yew]

have you checked the drive manager to see if the boot drive shows up

[distant zodiac]

Yeah it does, as I'm using the boot drive to y'know... boot 😂

Yeah I see what you mean, there isn't anything suspect in there

[spiral yew]

is the SSD almost full?

[distant zodiac]

nope

[spiral yew]

i'm assuming the local disk is the SSD

[distant zodiac]

Yep

Not much on my laptop, it's all work stuff and software related to that.

[spiral yew]

you had the SSD for very long?

[distant zodiac]

About 2/3 months. Literally a month after getting the laptop

It's a good drive, just the laptop is in my bag every day and get's knocked about alot. I feel that was causing the issues

[hollow drum]

I think the ssd is fine since it's showing up

[sterile crypt]

The SSD has no moving parts, so shaking your laptop around won’t hurt the SSD

[distant zodiac]

No, no. What I'm saying is it can work it's way loose from the m.2 socket. It doesn't seem to sit too well even when I've reseated it. It's in better than it was before, before it seemed very slight off

[spiral yew]

there isn't a screw that holds the m.2 SSD to the motherboard?

[sand valley]

there is

a screw comes with it

[spiral yew]

i know there should be one but it sounds like their laptop didn't come with one

[tender quartz]

https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2020/01/patch-windows-10-and-server-now-because-certificate-validation-is-broken/

[distant zodiac]

@spiral yew There is, but it screws into a plastic bracket so run the risk of cross threading it. What I've done this time is tacked it down with a spot of super glue, just the tiniest amount as well as the screw

The NSA has released an official, public statement urging everyone to update their Windows devices as soon as possible. An exploit has been identified in the current version of Windows 10 that can allow malicious software to be automatically installed on your computer, under the guise of approved Windows updates.

This means that very soon, hackers will be developing tools to be able to take control of and install malicious software to over 900 million PCs worldwide, with little to nothing that can be done to stop or remove the infected software due to the system believing it is from an approved Windows Update.

The NSA and US Department of Defense urges everyone on Windows 10 to update their computer IMMEDIATELY, as a fix for the exploit has already been released. Again, failing to update now will put your machine at extreme risk in the future.

To update, right click the windows logo in the bottom left, click settings or the cog (gear wheel) , go to "update and security" and press "check for updates."

Real?

[final dagger]

Ok

I was late yesterday noon

So that‘s veeeeerryyy late

@brazen void but real

[brazen void]

mhm thanks

already updated mine.

[willow rain]

wow the new upcoming windows 10 update is big

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-insider/at-home/whats-new-wip-at-home-20h1

[ornate dew]

Whew, strap yourselves in guys. This update may take a while...

[hollow drum]

You see i dont update windows

[distant zodiac]

@hollow drum Read what @brazen void posted in here. Also Google search windows 10 and it's the first thing in news. You might just want to update it this time.

[hollow drum]

@distant zodiac Well would I be affected if my windows is on a different update

[final laurel]

Guys, I want to buy assetto corsa, I’ve read the minimum pc standards but I’m unsure about it and I would like to know wether my laptop intel graphics are up for the game. I have an i5 7200U CPU 2.5gHz

Also, please ping me when replying as I won’t pick up the message. Thanks 😊

[pastel lodge]

that will work @final laurel

maybe not on ultra etc but should be fine

[final laurel]

Nah I’m not expecting ultra lol but just wondering because it runs ets2 very well so I want to add a new driving game to my library

[hollow drum]

@final laurel I dont think it will run smooth

[final laurel]

@hollow drum oh really? Why

[hollow drum]

Yiu may be able to run it I just dont think it will be smooth

[silent violet]

why is my 1tb hdd partition smaller then my ssd partition?

also what does frozen mean?

[sand valley]

never seen that before, interesting

(the dashboard)

[hidden shell]

Frozen usually means that you can't set a password on the drive if you wanted to. As for this utility. It's really shit, use the Windows one

[turbid vapor]

There might be some people here that could help me a bit, more specifically about bios settings... So I have 4 bars of RAM at 3400, and I changed settings from auto to 3400 but it didn't want to boot up on any boot devices, I've manually put it to 2133 I think it was and it worked so I don't know if there's some magic numbers I could put...

[turbid vapor]

On a side note, I (finally) installed my m.2 SSD after several months I've received it lol, and while at it, I did some changes with the cable management to make it look a bit cleaner... First picture was before https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/200590295635591170/533452401458544641/IMG_20190111_210847098.jpg

And then

[silent violet]

guys is this a good upgrade from a duelcore cpu

https://www.scan.co.uk/products/3xs-z370-overclocked-bundle-intel-core-i5-8600k-coffee-lake-asus-prime-z370-p-16gb-ddr4-be-quiet!-da

[spiral yew]

anything is better than a dual core

[silent violet]

what about my toaster? XD

[spiral yew]

you are going from 2 cores to 6 core so obviously it's better

[silent violet]

also is scan good?

[spiral yew]

i dunno i'm not from the UK

[silent violet]

like are they a good place to buy from

ok

[agile ermine]

@turbid vapor what's your cpu?

[turbid vapor]

i7 8700k

[agile ermine]

That's weird... and your mobo?

Maybe try to run it at 3200mhz, it's more common, and even if you don't use the full potential of your ram that's way better than 2133

[turbid vapor]

mobo is asrock z370 extreme4

I'll set it at some other time though

[distant sparrow]

guys

my pc is pretty cold

[hollow drum]

@turbid vapor what’s you ram rated at

[brittle mountain]

chrome needs to chill...

[pastel lodge]

u have 93 tabs open

what do u expect

[brittle mountain]

162 actually

[pastel lodge]

then why u complain its high power usage

[brittle mountain]

most of them are text only

[pastel lodge]

why tho

[burnt carbon]

it’s a box

[brittle mountain]

@capri let's call it "data mining"

[hollow drum]

I’m mad

[turbid vapor]

@hollow drum That's the RAM and MOBO, and hmmm I just realised something... somehow the specifications of the motherboard "skips" the DDR4 3400 🤔 I'd have to try a notch lower (3200 perhaps)
https://www.gskill.com/specification/165/184/1536112426/F4-3400C16D-16GVK-Specification
https://www.asrock.com/MB/Intel/Z370 Extreme4/index.asp#Specification

[hollow drum]

@turbid vapor that would be it. If the motherboard doesn’t support a frequency it won’t work

Try going to 3200 it should say what it supports in the manual

[turbid vapor]

I'll try it next time I reboot

[hollow drum]

🙂

My MB supports 3600

I always research parts before I purchase

[turbid vapor]

A difference of 200 isn't gonna kill me to be honest c:

[hollow drum]

Ya true

My ram is based at 3600

[turbid vapor]

When I purchased the parts, I checked the mobo list of compatibility (support -> memory qvl)

[hollow drum]

Ouch

[turbid vapor]

I mean the ram works just fine, but yeah I didn't think about the frequency...

But yeah, next time I feel like changing some parts, I might consider changing the ram and few other parts, plus 4x8 GB might be overkill, isn't it...?

[hollow drum]

Just get 4 8 GB sticks of ram

Ez

[turbid vapor]

I already have 4x8, I have 32 GB of ram, hefty price though

Meanwhile I was trying to figure out why the notifications on the taskbar wasn't working... Dang it Windows settings, it was the "Show badges on taskbar buttons" option that was off

[hollow drum]

[turbid vapor]

[hollow drum]

[turbid vapor]

does it bugs you to see notifications?

[hollow drum]

Yes

[turbid vapor]

hehehehehe

[hollow drum]

New case and screen protector ahhhhh

[compact cove]

@turbid vapor 3400 stepping is 3433

it goes 3000 > 3200 > 3433 > 3600

[turbid vapor]

There's an option that I forgot the name that I set to 100 MHz (which affects the values for clock speed), and there wasn't such thing as 3433, it was 3400 in the list, maybe it was 2133? @compact cove

[hollow drum]

3000 > 3200 > 3400 > 3600

[compact cove]

FSB ratio

100:100 or 133:100

[wraith crystal]

can anyone tell me if this is worth it? keep in mind im in Australia and parts are normally double the price for lots of reasons, also im thinking of changing some parts to make it just abit better (this will be like my first "gaming pc". and also if its not worth it how much would you pay for it?

https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/roxburgh-park/desktops/gaming-pc-i7-6700-gtx-1070-16gb-ddr4-256sg-ssd-2tb/1237179253

[spiral yew]

not a bad system at all

i currently have
i7-6700
16GB DDR4 RAM
Nvidia GTX 1080ti
500GB M.2 SSD
1TB HDD
2TB HDD for games

i'm 2 lazy to re-install windows to my M.2 SSD

[light palm]

looks good to be honest, upgrading the cpu in a few months would be beneficial as well

that’s also really cheap compare to what I would get used for that in the uk. for that price in the uk I was being offered 1050 ti’s with i5-6600’s etc

[hollow drum]

I suggest not buying prebuilts

[distant zodiac]

For gaming that cpu is more than adequate, on my desktop I'm only using an I5-6500 and do CAD work on that

[hollow drum]

In some cases prebuilts are overpriced and don't always have the best parts

[light palm]

but it’s used and he’s just getting into gaming so won’t have the knowledge

[hollow drum]

I take what I said thought it was a prebuilt

That's a steal

[light palm]

wish ones like that were selling cheap used in the uk

probably about £700 here

[hollow drum]

I still personally rather build it myself. I built my PC with little to know knowledge but gained knowledge by watching vids

[spiral yew]

ozzy nothing on wish is legit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktSBBSULdnE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOwTj7V3_3M

here's another scam i found on ebay https://www.ebay.com/p/8031290550?iid=223847344643&chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=223847344643&targetid=858699223330&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9024531&poi=&campaignid=8080424077&mkgroupid=89249998256&rlsatarget=pla-858699223330&abcId=1139446&merchantid=6296724&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8NOC-LqO5wIV0__jBx3dNgj2EAQYCSABEgLHBfD_BwE

[wraith crystal]

@hollow drum not always but the sound of this it looks to be pretty good

[hollow drum]

Well when you build it yourself you know what parts you are getting and if you can future proof it

[wraith crystal]

Also we all understand that “your good at making PCs” but for me that’s not what I’m good at, I’m saying are the specs good for a entry level pc

But then you could get parts and they could be fake

[spiral yew]

those specs are way better than a entry lvl pc

[wraith crystal]

Yeah ik

[spiral yew]

who ever built that pc spent a lot of money

[wraith crystal]

I put it in a thing to find out the price and it came to about 1400 Aussie brand new

Yeah

[spiral yew]

like $300 just for the CPU

[hollow drum]

@wraith crystal I never stated I was good at it. To build a pc just watch a video and read the manual of your motherboard and it tells you everything that’s how I did it.

[wraith crystal]

cough cough looks at how to manage your cables

Yeah I’m good

I would rather pay like an extra $80 or so too have someone completely do it for me and know it works

[hollow drum]

Well cable management isn’t that hard most cases now have very well cable management stuff

[wraith crystal]

Yeah still I’m good

I would rather a guy know what he’s doing and I know it will work then, do it myself and it not even turning on

So @spiral yew do you suggest getting it Rn?

Also not liking the case what would you suggest for a good ventilated case?

[hollow drum]

NZXT H700i. It's super nice, has great airflow, enough space for the specs and great cable management

[wraith crystal]

Abit pricy for a case

That all it does is holds the internals

[hollow drum]

Well 1. It has great cable management, great airflow, great space, and overall is super nice. You can also put all your storage in the back except m.2's so the front looks cleaner

[wraith crystal]

Like not this case but like it

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Antec-Vsk10-Window-Matx-Case-2X-Usb-3-0-Thermally-Advanced-Builders-Case-1X/173943972832?hash=item287fde63e0:g:0FIAAOSwvXdeI6aF

It’s cheap you know

I kinda don’t want to spend all my money I just want to like dip my toes in you know?

[light palm]

it’s a great pc to start off with

[wraith crystal]

Ik

[light palm]

I’m starting off with something similar in specs

[wraith crystal]

That’s why I’m looking at it

[light palm]

it’ll do me a few years

[wraith crystal]

Same here

Anything breaks or I want it abit better I just buy parts and just move on at my Pace

[light palm]

in a couple years when I’m working I’ll probably just pay up some crazy spec pc, then once’s paid off it’ll do me years and years

[wraith crystal]

Xd

[light palm]

i knew nothing about pc’s a few months back

[wraith crystal]

next second all the parts break at once

[light palm]

if someone said the world “gtx” I wouldn’t know what they meant

[wraith crystal]

Lol

[light palm]

I’ve always been a console player until I was introduced to ets

[hollow drum]

I have Overpowered specs and plan on upgrading in a few years xD

[wraith crystal]

....

[light palm]

my pc was meant to arrive last week, a bit gutted

hopefully this week

[wraith crystal]

Xd

Hope it arrives for you

[light palm]

this is what I went for, nothing special but its my first gaming pc at the end of the day

[hollow drum]

@light palm You're still waiting jesus

@wraith crystal This is a channel to talk about tech you asked for opinions if you should get something I gave it and then you talked about upgrading so I did too on me upgrading so I don't know if I should take this as a joke....

I heard 1660's are good for the price

[light palm]

emailed them Friday morning following up the order and the guy said it will be “in building” in a few hours. went onto my tracker on Saturday morning and it’s still in pre-production

[hollow drum]

I don't think they work weekends doe at least most companies don't

[light palm]

Yeah, I think I’ve gone for a good choice with my cpu and gpu but I didn’t realise the ram was only 2400mhz, but oh well it’ll do for a couple years

it’s just the fact they’ve not told the truth again

[hollow drum]

Ya, you have 16gb so you should be good but I would prefer at least 3000

but future you can get DDR5 xD

[light palm]

probably won’t be upgrading this pc, I’ll probably sell it then start fresh as the case isn’t the biggest and the mb is quite budget

I’ll get alright money back for it when it does come to selling

[hollow drum]

nice

[granite flint]

@distant sparrow

[distant sparrow]

I don't really like it

[wraith crystal]

Don’t know why you would ever need that if your computer is where your feet are

[brittle mountain]

because you don't

that's for when your pc is at eye level, like on your desk

[wraith crystal]

But still...

[pastel lodge]

is that an touchscreen

[compact cove]

ras pi 5" screen

[hollow drum]

It’s really cool seen a video on it. But I don’t think it’s worth unless you have your pc eye lvl

[wraith crystal]

It looks like it would work tho... xd

[turbid vapor]

It would... If you plug it

[wraith crystal]

Xd

Yeah

[ornate dew]

That’s actually a solid PC

Even got that big ATX motherboard

[half jolt]

I mean, it would work

[turbid vapor]

You don't need a wonderful $300 case to make your setup work lol

[halcyon rune]

i dont even have case xd

[wraith crystal]

New pc just arrived

[spiral yew]

now you can get 300 fps on ets2 😂

[wraith crystal]

yep looking for that

Might just have to go with team red if they keep coming up with gpus like this

Good price point for that performance as well

[gleaming pecan]

AMD is just getting better and better, already dominated the CPU market and starting on the GPU market

[agile ermine]

nvidia is still leading the gpu market, maybe AMD will have more chances with the next gen

but intel... oooh boi...

[sinful monolith]

the fastest growing on share on Steam is still GTX 1060

Should I get a sound card?

[wraith crystal]

Well are you ganna get speaker’s or are you ganna use head phones or something the same?

[hidden shell]

All motherboards have built-in sound cards

[half jolt]

Yeah most on-board sound cards these days are pretty high quality

I think there are some benefits to having a separate card for it but I'm not 100% sure

[distant zodiac]

Get a good quality motherboard and your golden

[sinful monolith]

unless you're an audiophile, you're probably just fine with the built-in

[distant zodiac]

Some nowadays even have filtering and better amps onboard than even some soundboards

[cedar heron]

anyone using a 5700 XT here? i've been thinking about buying one for a while but i always hear people complaining about the drivers and stuff, which makes the decision harder for me...

if anyone has this card, how's your experience with the drivers + the adrenalin software??

[marsh sparrow]

I have a 300$ msrp mobo so I should be good

[peak oracle]

https://www.msy.com.au/mspec-megahawk-5700-xt-gaming-system-intel-edition

Good PC?

[distant monolith]

I'd recommend that you get a PC with an AMD Ryzen 5 3600.
You should probably look ffor another PC

Well, actually, AUD is very different to USD. The PC doesn't look bad actually, but I'd still get a Ryzen CPU if you can.

[peak oracle]

👍

Will search

[distant monolith]

What's your budget?

[peak oracle]

under AUD2310

Ehh will link the site I'm searching

https://www.msy.com.au

[distant monolith]

I'm on that site rn

I'm looking at the PCs.

[peak oracle]

Ah

It's close by me

(remember, all of it is in AUD)

Oh haha we found the same thing

$1800 .. not bad

[distant monolith]

No, they are different.
I don't like the CPU in the one that you sent. It's an APU. The 3700x is way better.

[peak oracle]

A

[distant monolith]

The CPU isn't bad, but I'd use that CPU if you're building a PC without a graphics card.

[peak oracle]

Damn bro 😳

2400

[distant monolith]

Is that too much?

[light palm]

what games do you actually play though

[peak oracle]

i wanna switch from console

[distant monolith]

https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-Ryzen-7-3700X-vs-AMD-Ryzen-5-3400G/4043vsm825156

[peak oracle]

I don't play much games cuz of my current PC

[light palm]

if you’re switching from console and plan on playing demanding games you’ll need something with a 2070, etc

[distant monolith]

Have a look at the link I sent.
I think that will give you a better understanding of why the 3700x is better than the 3400g

[light palm]

that’s why I didn’t go overkill with mine, as all my games such as gta, cod, fifa are all on my xbox for convenience to play with my friends

[peak oracle]

tru

I might get a less overkill

2 min

[light palm]

but if I was planning on playing all my console games on my pc I would’ve gone for a 2060 and a i7

[distant monolith]

The PC I sent should be future proof.

So overkill isn't bad, if you're planning to keep your PC for a while.

[peak oracle]

I won't go overkill

[distant monolith]

What's your new budget then?

[peak oracle]

Let me use my brain rq

1500

[light palm]

mine cost 1,300 aud

£710

[peak oracle]

Oh

The case ain't bad, it's just Intel

[light palm]

Intel isn’t even bad if you are just sticking to gaming

[peak oracle]

Tru

hol up I'll check the price

AUD rips me off

1190

[light palm]

try looking for a good used deal

[peak oracle]

sure

Planning to buy this one

https://www.msy.com.au/mspec-helios-580-gaming-system-amd-edition

Nvm this is good

[light palm]

that’s similar to my specs, but obviously different brands

3400g and i5-9400f are close in performance

and so is the rx 580 and gtx 1660

[sterile crypt]

The rx 580 is about as good as a gtx 1060, so 1080p gaming

[light palm]

that’s about £670, so that’s a really good deal

[sterile crypt]

So an 1660 would be an upgrade over the extra 580

[light palm]

im gonna sell mine next year

and go overkill

I would upgrade components but the case is to small

but anyway, that’s a good deal for that pc, so I would definitely consider it

[final dagger]

Intel or AMD?

[peak oracle]

AMD 4 LIFE

[wraith crystal]

AMD is cheaper but intel i would say still gives a little bit more juice but can be more expensive

[agile ermine]

It depends... if you get a pc only for gaming, and if it's not a high end system, intel might be cheaper

A core i5 will not be as versatile as a ryzen 5 though

[final dagger]

intel 4 life!!

[agile ermine]

uh

no

[final dagger]

yes

[half jolt]

I have an Intel Core i5 in my laptop and it actually holds up pretty well. The worse part of my laptop is the graphics card and that's because it's an onboard chip due to it being a laptop

[wraith crystal]

I kinda wouldn’t suggest gaming with a i5 in a laptop since most of the on board graphics cards are not that good if I was you I would invest (I’m talking Aussie dollars) some money in a desktop like $1000 Aussie will get you a pretty good pc, like I got mine for $850 leaving some room for a monitor and other stuff, and my specs are pretty good I got a i7 something (it’s a high end i7 tho) I got a GTX 1070 and some other stuff so just look around and you might get your self a good pre-build

[agile ermine]

gaming with an i5 in a laptop is perfectly fine as long as you have a dedicated gpu...

[wraith crystal]

I’m pretty sure a laptop does not have a dedicated graphics card

[agile ermine]

well, mine does

[wraith crystal]

But I’m also talking about the processor that has better on board graphics

[agile ermine]

there are tons of laptops with dedicated gpus

[wraith crystal]

What?

And wouldn’t that blow the system

[agile ermine]

uh... no?

[wraith crystal]

What dedicated graphics card do you have

[agile ermine]

I mean... mine keeps a gtx 1660 ti at around 75°C, which is fine, even if it might be a bit underclocked compared with a desktop one

[wraith crystal]

How you run games nice at high frame rate+ fit in a laptop

[agile ermine]

well, it can easily run any game at a minimum of 60fps in 1080p, maxed out graphic settings

as I said, there are a lot of gaming laptops on the market

[wraith crystal]

But normally (what I find) there is a bigger issue

[agile ermine]

what kind of issue?

[wraith crystal]

All kinds of ones

And eventually I gave up and stoped buying them

[agile ermine]

well, compared with a notebook, there are a lot of drawbacks, but it's still a laptop, but with a lot of power

[hollow drum]

Most new gen laptops have high end GPU's and proper cooling

[wraith crystal]

Not from I tested out

[agile ermine]

it will run hotter (not hotter than a macbooc tho ), it will be a lot heavier, louder, and it will be significantly more expensive

but it is as powerful as a slightly lower specced desktop, so it's fine

[wraith crystal]

But also at the end of the day wouldn’t you like also a nice setup?

[agile ermine]

well, I've got both, so...

[light palm]

some people need the practicality of laptops

[agile ermine]

I move quite a lot, so a gaming laptop is a really nice thing to have, even though my desktop pc is a lot more comfortable to use

[hollow drum]

Just get yourself a gaming PC and a laptop that's what I did

[agile ermine]

I used to have a small laptop, but it wasn't powerful enough

[hollow drum]

Damn

@night pollen it should be enough

[agile ermine]

@night pollen that also depends of your GPU

[night pollen]

i have rx550

2gb

50w need for gpu

[brittle mountain]

any GPU without a 6 or 8 pin plug, instantly assume it can use 75w when you calculate total system power draw

that's the total amount of power that the PCIE slot can output without additional plugs

[night pollen]

i check on website it say 50w

[brittle mountain]

even if it says 30w, just assume it uses 75w

when you calculate

[night pollen]

okay

but ryzen 5 1600 is good for gaming ?

I need to buy it right now and wait 3 days like to be on my address

[brittle mountain]

if it has this product number YD1600BBAFBOX, that's an upgraded 1600

1600 on 12nm, which is basically a 2600

and yes, it's good

[night pollen]

i buy it i just need to wait 3 days

[brittle mountain]

my wife has it in her pc with a 1660ti, it runs very nice

[night pollen]

This ❌ is because of CPU not GPU

[brittle mountain]

is your current cpu very old?

[night pollen]

its Athlon x4 950

[brittle mountain]

oof, that's old

[night pollen]

yea man

[brittle mountain]

Phenom were cool 10 years ago

now, not so much 😄

an R5 1600 will feel like a massive boost

[night pollen]

I can still play a lot of games but frame drops some times ...

When i play ROE {Ring of elysium} its drop a lot because gpu is chilling 60% but cpu is 95-100%

[brittle mountain]

all esport games need more cpu than gpu

[night pollen]

The same for gta v , gpu is okay buy cpu const 100%

i know , my friend told me about that

Gta is like 50/50

You need CPU and GPU

[brittle mountain]

gta is more like 30-70

on high/ultra at least

[night pollen]

Yea but i mean normal is okay

[brittle mountain]

but any explosion will hit your cpu hard

flames/particles need cpu horsepower

[night pollen]

yea , thats reason why im gonna buy cpu and sell this one for 40$

or less

[brittle mountain]

be happy if you get 20 ...

[night pollen]

In my country we sell this for 80$

in stores

[brittle mountain]

refurbished maybe

it's not that valuable in second hand markets

[night pollen]

Its not cheap

[brittle mountain]

it's... a Phenom

[night pollen]

like ryzen 5 1600 on some sites cost 220$

but real price is like 120$

[brittle mountain]

it's 110 euros here lol

with 220 euros you can get a 3600X

[night pollen]

I pay 130$ now

Man tell that my country ...

[brittle mountain]

🤷‍♂️

[night pollen]

Oh i found some site its like 240$

[brittle mountain]

scammers...

[night pollen]

After this when i get some money because i spend all my money on cpu , i need to buy ets2 new dlc

Then i done for 1 year or less

[agile ermine]

240$ isn't scamming... it's just that every other website are trying to get rid of all their old cpus by lowering the price to the ground

[wraith crystal]

Pretty much other wise nobody will buy them

[visual notch]

Just found this

[remote estuary]

That screams safety yes

[wide temple]

[sand valley]

what are you doing

[kindred warren]

are you trying to burn down your house?

[wide temple]

It's an old cable taken from some telco install

CAT cabling, nothing to be afraid of :p
The picture TTH posted looks like CAT5 solid core, the jacket just seems to be ripped off that's all

[sand valley]

oh

[remote estuary]

[drifting horizon]

Meh...
Typical curse of Windows owner...
"Installing updates: x out of y" (Win7+2 cores of main PC+2GB RAM+ HDD = 🤷‍♂️ )

[brittle mountain]

Windows 10 update experience: https://i.imgur.com/XvmE6xR.gif

[drifting horizon]

@brittle mountain Unfortunately when I update my Win10 IP I don't have that screen 😂

[molten skiff]

"Preparing Windows: 100%"
And then it's stuck like that for a few minutes

[peak oracle]

Yes or No

Bro stop reacting and tell me

[wooden glacier]

Thats good specs

[peak oracle]

Ah

5700xt

Is my main goal for heavy gaming

Aka. overwatch (love the game), MSC, ETS, ATS, GTA IV, GTA V, GTA SA, Minecraft, Forza, ARMA 3, War Thunder, Assetto Corsa, and more

[wooden glacier]

[peak oracle]

Compared to this gem

[wooden glacier]

yeah thats an upgrade

[peak oracle]

[drifting horizon]

@peak oracle I had to upgrade from the PC from 2007 3 years ago :P
And that was my platform on which I started to play TMP back in the day, until they stopped support for 32bit Windows.

Now I have such a rig, but I think that I might upgrade my RAM a bit.

[sand valley]

I recommend upgrading RAM first

[drifting horizon]

@sand valley For sure - I think that I will go will 2 x 8GB instead of buying another pair of 4GB and maybe I'll add one more SSD for games.

[wooden glacier]

My Specs look like this atm

[drifting horizon]

Atm I have only SSD for OS

[sand valley]

That would work arus

I'd get the 2x8

And a SSD is a good option too yeah

[agile ermine]

Ow, please, don't pair a ryzen 5 3400g with a rx 5700 xt...

And don't get a nvme ssd either, it's not worth the extra cost compared to a sata ssd in most cases

You could get a ryzen 5 3600, way better than the 3400g

[hollow drum]

@wooden glacier what 2070 version?

[pearl merlin]

Hello I'm tehc

I'm tecynican

😂

[spiral yew]

misterclic M.2 or nvme SSD's are faster than a SSD

[agile ermine]

and? that doesn't improve the game loading times by a lot

a nvme SSD isn't useful in most cases

[sinful monolith]

5-15% faster load times depending on the game

will notice a bigger difference if there are many background tasks hitting the same disk though

[wide temple]

It made a massive difference for me loading ProMods

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[peak oracle]

Should I adjust some of the parts?

[wraith crystal]

specs look good but what are the prices

[peak oracle]

AUD1759.00

(@wraith crystal)

[wraith crystal]

mmmmmm i wouldn't pay that

[peak oracle]

Which is like GBP1200

[wraith crystal]

i got mine for $850 and i got around the same specs

?

[peak oracle]

There's no stores in my area that sell PCs

So I have to pay

[wraith crystal]

i live in Australia too

use gumtree

[peak oracle]

Oh lmao

[wraith crystal]

thats where i got mine

[peak oracle]

I don't really trust gumtree

[wraith crystal]

its where i got it and its fine

[peak oracle]

It's my mentality

[wraith crystal]

i got a 1070 i7 16gb

[peak oracle]

I wanna.buy full AMD

[wraith crystal]

i got some good stuff

[peak oracle]

What PC can you find in VIC?

A good one like those specs

[wraith crystal]

you just need to watch the market

well im in vic too

gumtree is the way

[peak oracle]

Oh cool

but I trust MSY tho

[wraith crystal]

everything e;se is a ripoff or too expensive

[peak oracle]

Wait I'll link you another one

[wraith crystal]

alright

[peak oracle]

https://www.msy.com.au/mspec-helios-580-gaming-system-amd-edition

[wraith crystal]

i would deffittly swap out the ssd

sorry if i spell shit wrong i just got a new keyboard

just learning where all the buttons are lmao

[peak oracle]

yea should I buy a built one

[wraith crystal]

yeah...

[peak oracle]

ok

best bet

[wraith crystal]

also that one is a bit meh

[peak oracle]

give me a better CPU

[wraith crystal]

i think your getting overpriced

[peak oracle]

and I'll go in and try to find one

[wraith crystal]

well what are you ganna play?

[peak oracle]

lots of games

[wraith crystal]

whats the most demanding game you think

[peak oracle]

Probably FPS

Hitman, I might play that
