Gotta love when someone asks a question and ignores your answer, just to struggle for 2 hours

Again, CPU-Z will give you EVERY specs about your pc components

Including the motherboard model AND the RAM model

[mighty idol]

hwmonitor also

[spiral yew]

I believe hwmonitor just gives you temps speed and power readings

[mighty idol]

oops I'm wrong, it's hwinfo

but yeah hwinfo does better in detecting hardwares

plinky the power companies use kilowatt hours to measure how much power you are using

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_meter

[frozen mantle]

If that’s one of those spinny disk things can’t you just jam them up so it looks like you’re using less electricity

[pure venture]

im upgrading my ram today and replacing my current stick, will i need to configure anything in bios/settings? or does it work straight away

[cold frigate]

It'll work straight away. But you can turn on XMP, and it'll up the speed of the RAM.

[pure venture]

oh okay

so what speed will it be when i dont configure anything

[cold frigate]

2400Mhz I believe.

[pure venture]

oh christ.

cause my current one is 2933mhz and i didnt need to do anything

[cold frigate]

Then XMP is already on probably.

[pure venture]

this thing?

im watching a linus tech tips video lol

[cold frigate]

That CPU overclock, don't touch it.

[pure venture]

Yeah im not doing this

im screenshotting from linus tech tips video

[cold frigate]

Okay.

[pure venture]

my motherboard doesn't support overclocking though

[cold frigate]

Then it's fine.

Just go into BIOS and enable XMP. And it'll be fine.

[pure venture]

alright

is that right?

[cold frigate]

Yes.

[pure venture]

perfect.

wait so how do i navigate to it? as theres no mouse in bios i believe

[cold frigate]

There should be. Older BIOS don't have mouse.

[pure venture]

oh okay

lol, sorry just me being stupid

• why cant i screenshot while task manager is open?

wait is a-xmp the same thing

Old pic that’s when I built it

Need to get new pic when I go home but I have new keyboard and Matt

[celest nova]

Just found this

Gonna try that out though, never used Windows 8. Only used Windows 8.1 and it was tbh really good.

[onyx snow]

Windows 8 was shocking

[remote estuary]

Too much "Metro"

I quite liked 8.1 tho

[celest nova]

I guess I'll try it out nonetheless. Not that I'm used to mobile/desktop crossover platforms, they're almost everywhere.

[onyx snow]

Yea

[agile ermine]

8.1 was bad... and 8 is worse...

[celest nova]

I don't think 8.1 was bad though, I was happy with it and never had problems

Btw reorganized my shelf, since the Xbox came new into my collection and my brother finally gave me back my Switch, they'd need a place. The SNES is currently in the worst condition sadly, when I got it the bottom shell was broken apart and the top one heavily yellowed. So I'm currently retrobriting that and looking for a bottom shell.

[onyx snow]

I didn’t like 8, or 8.1 it just felt like it was too modernised for it’s time and it just felt very complicated to use.

[celest nova]

That's what I thought when Windows 10 came around, I hated it first but heck I use it now and it just is as normal as ever

But hey, I grew up with Windows XP/Vista.

[celest nova]

Does someone know a good PCIe SD/CF etc. card reader? Wanna get a hold of it, since my case doesn't support inserts and I don't wanna have an external one.

Answering to your question btw, it's a good system overall, nothing too crazy

[celest nova]

I wanna have one for my old PC damn it

[sand valley]

I7 3770 has LGA 1151 right? With Intel HD 4000?

[latent aurora]

1150 is the third gen iirc

[sand valley]

I got confused, 3rd gen needs 1155

[latent aurora]

Ah, okay

[distant sparrow]

If it's cheaper the Xeon E3 1240V2 is basically the same chip without the iGPU

[sand valley]

[celest nova]

So when I wanna go build a little server out of that neat machine, gonna choose the i7.

Don't wanna mess with ECC memory if I can do it without

[onyx snow]

The i7-3770 is lga 1155, and is using intel HD graphics 4000.

Here’s all the official info on the cpu if you’re interested, https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/65719/intel-core-i7-3770-processor-8m-cache-up-to-3-90-ghz.html

hey, wondering if someone could help

ive been having this for a while. on startup, my pc screen goes pixelated, stops, and flashes again. this happens for a good 15seconds then it stops completely. this also happens when opening up gta, although at gta its a lower resolution. i was messing with the settings, and found when i changed my resolution to 60hz it also happened, and could only be at 59.940hz. in gta settings i was changing resolution and it flickered for every single one. what do i do to fix this? my drivers are up to date

[celest nova]

I always thought why the heck my Bluetooth on my ASUS Wireless Adapter doesn't work. Well sure enough, today I opened up my rig to find an open USB Connector on that card. Welp, I didn't install that USB cable to the motherboard header, now it works. Interesting though, WLAN did work, but heck I'm stupid sometimes

[marsh sparrow]

Couple picture of my setup before my new wheel comes today!

Also don’t mind the wooden button box. My ASP heavy hauler is coming in about a month so that why i have a monitor stand holding my CB waiting for it

Cant wait for the t300rs GT the belts i bet are gonna feel so nice compared to the gears

And oh would you look at that it wont log in to windows anymore.

My Brother had screwed this laptop up badly.

Or is it just because it's a HDD?

Oh yeah must be that, I forgot how slow HDD Drives we're.

He had broken previous other devices and yet he's allowed to still use any type of device.

He had broke his 3 Tablets

And Now 2 Laptops.

did u overclock any pc component in your pc?

because i would never overclock, it can cause some disadvantages

tip: never overclock, it will reduce the life of the parts resulting in you buying new parts since overclocking is important to understand yet do. WOULD NEVER recommend overclocking.

Has anyone had experience with flickering/colored lines on a monitor? (I don't really have the right word for it)
My MSi monitor just keeps on flickering whenever it's a 144hz, and sometimes it fixes itself. Other times I need to change to 120hz for it worked. Is the monitor just broken or?

[dusty timber]

• Bad connection
• Fried GPU
• Fried monitor

One of those

[agile ermine]

Do you have an iGPU?

If that's the case, plug the monitor on the mobo and see if it disappears

[distant monolith]

hm no I don't think so

Only external GPU

[celest nova]

disable G Sync.

[distant monolith]

I can double check the bad connection part, but I'm afraid it's a fried monitor :/
Doesn't happen om my second monitor

[celest nova]

I have the same issue, G Sync is a pain in the ass

MSI Curved monitor, with G Sync enabled it flickers

[distant monolith]

Just turn off vertical sync here yea?

Couldn't find any other G-Sync settings in the control panel

Oh yea now 144hz works, thank you!

[celest nova]

which MSI monitor do you have?

[distant monolith]

MSi MAG271c

[celest nova]

I have the MSI G24C4

[distant monolith]

[kind sapphire]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[celest nova]

well, the panel doesn't even use its full screen with g sync turned on

[spiral yew]

i have the MSI optix G27C4

[wicked blaze]

Can anyone help me pls, after my BOIS screen I get no display 😦

[celest nova]

Did you plug in your display cable into the motherboard instead the graphics card?

If you plugged that in your motherboard, iirc because you got no integrated graphics it only displays the bios and then nothing else. might be completely wrong though and you get no picture whatsoever if you plug into you mobo

[wicked blaze]

My GPU broke a few days ago so I’m using onboard until me new one comes.

I’ve done a system restore as I think it might be a driver issue.

[celest nova]

what's your processor?

[wicked blaze]

Uh

Ryzen 5 of some sort

I’ve been playing ETSMP with it for about 3 days so I know it works.

but I went out to walk my dog came back and had no display (de fuq) restarted it and nothing happened it just went past the BIOS screen and went black and no signal again.

[celest nova]

Ah alright, that just vanishes that possible problem. At that point I sadly don't know further

[wicked blaze]

Me neither sir, thanks for you assistance though! I’m sure I’ll sort it.

[celest nova]

Hmm, no signs of life at the moment. I guess I'll have to wait for the ISA card.

[celest nova]

The only reaction I can get from turning the 486 machine on. Sadly...

Well, jumper were a bit wrong, but it didn't change much. Cyrix 486DX2, branded under another company but basically the same processor.

[pliant comet]

The BIOS chip doesn't seem to have anything covering its window.

[celest nova]

fixed that with some paper-ish thing

[onyx snow]

Oh my.. been a while since I've seen a good ol' bus cable in use on a PC

Hmm what would you nubs recommend to upgrade my phone to? I’m currently with an iPhone 11 and I want to make the switch to an S21(+)

[celest nova]

OnePlus would be a great choice imo.

As like Sony isn't that competetive in performance, Samsung has some reliability issues some times and yeah. Oppo and OnePlus would be my way go get a new smartphone, since they deliver great performance and actually a really good price compared to competition.

[frozen mantle]

I mean, I’m really not that bothered about price

[celest nova]

ouch that hurts

[frozen mantle]

That’s in reason ofc

I’m not going to pay out £1600 for a fold 3

[mighty idol]

idk in your country, but here oppo is expensive and they give the low spec phone

here xiaomi is better, cheaper and higher specs

[wicked blaze]

I just want Motorola to bring out a new flip phone.

[mighty idol]

which model is it? looks new...

[celest nova]

Toshiba Satellite C660

[mighty idol]

but I know the satellite model has stopped production

[celest nova]

But it is the AMD version which is pretty neat compared to the Intel one

so I guess first old AMD laptop in my collection lol

Still have two Core 2 Duo Laptops with sockets here, a Compaq Business Book and an ASUS Office Book.

that's a long boi

[sand valley]

4.7cm ?😨

[pliant comet]

I guess that the seller made a mistake when making the picture for this listing.

[celest nova]

or it should just be 47cm

Hmm, I guess I'll try building some little mining/server rigs

gotta wait for the two rigs to arrive so I can mess around with them. There's also an old AGP card in there lol

[sand valley]

The dimensions listed there, 4.7 cm x 1.95 cm are confusing

[celest nova]

I think it should normally be 47cm x 19.5cm, someone messed up there

people that are into bitcoin and ether mining are the reason we are having a chip shortage and the high gpu prices

[mighty idol]

bad news about my plan to install windows on the tv decoder

the bootloader is locked so I can't access the startup option

I can access the startup option if it's newer version but mine is the old version so I can't

and I just know that actually the OS preinstalled on the tv decoder is custom Linux

[agile ermine]

Bitcoin is only a part of the problem

Massive demand for computers due to covid caused a chip shortage

New consoles have been an issue too

[latent aurora]

Everything is a factor some factors are bigger than others, but cryptomining is one of the bigger ones

[agile ermine]

Combine that with low production rates, due to covid again, and that's what you get

[latent aurora]

That too, yes

[agile ermine]

Cryptomining is a big part of why the gpu prices are so high

But overall, it's not even close from being the reason why we have a global chip shortage

[mighty idol]

I just use HDMI to VGA adapter and now my display are HDCP capable
