Ello

Just askin

Is gtx 1050 ti good for ets2 and ats

Planning to buy one

[severe sage]

If you're on a budget it works pretty well overall, should be a solid 50+ fps, if you're planning on going to large events on TruckersMP expect to lower your graphics settings though.

Currently I would hold off buying a 1050 ti though currently (and any graphics card for that matter) as prices are still way to high which is tough if you're on a budget.

[mighty idol]

basically, ETS2 was so optimized that you could run on most of the graphics card that launched 5 years back

and probably 10 years back

[candid oak]

Ok ok, thanks to both of you

[agile ermine]

worth it mostly for DLSS

not a lot of games actually use RTX

if you want to upgrade, there are pretty much only GPUs with ray tracing on the market nowadays, so you won't really have the choice anyways

[celest nova]

why do you need 64GB RAM in a Laptop?

[mighty idol]

[mighty idol]

so apparently, Steam crashes when playing ETS2 with steam controller configuration

and then, ETS2 don't know what to do so it crashes itself

Imma try reinstall steam

[spiral yew]

i hope you backed up all your in game screen shots cause they will be gone when you un-install steam

[mighty idol]

it's gonna be fine, I have all the screenshots in documents folder

I rarely used steam screenshots

and I've reinstalled steam, still the same.....so I'll switch to DS4Windows for now

5g be like

[mild pendant]

I dont know whether this a tech question or not, hope so:D. What is the better option for sound quality and the number of songs, so the variations to be more precise? Tidal or spotify? Is tidal really sounds better? Im using a razer kraken x and a huawei am15 to listen to music, is there a noticeable difference?

[remote estuary]

You need to use professional level headphones, to tell the difference at the highest audio quality in both of those platforms afaik, particularly on Tidal

I mean like 300ohms stuff

[latent aurora]

Well, Seattle aint small, so I wouldn't be bothered xD

[sour phoenix]

loll

used 5gb worth of data for a speedtest? jheez

[stuck grove]

[sour phoenix]

i said it sorry for the ping

Nice speeds mate, most I can do here is 250 in 4G+ which is not bad but still compared to yours

[gleaming parrot]

for me the list is
4770K @4.3Ghz all core OC
32GB ddr3 1600
strix 1070ti
and at last but not least 2.4 Ghz wifi over three walls

[gleaming parrot]

I'd say go for spotify there is basically no difference in quality if you use generic headphones or earbuds or vehicle audio (as stated above high-tier stuff and audiophile mindset is needed). i never really tried tidal but if i had to guess based on relevance and uptime spotify has been available for longer and i think that equals more artists and more songs. Pricing may be interesting as your local currency is well in a bad shape and while tidal just says 1499HUF/month spotify only gives prices in eur 4.99~1900HUF/month

[mild pendant]

Ikr but i will never understand tho why cant i get student prices before university

But tidal is 1800 or so , so the same, but there is a more expensive pack aswell there

However as i mentioned, imma stick to spotify, just wondered that would it sound better but then for me as a regular guy it wouldnt:D

[frozen mantle]

Afaik Spotify is bringing it with a new package that’s more expensive.

[frozen mantle]

Personally, even though I don’t have audiophile equipment I’d still go for tidal (despite not being a user myself) when I made my switch from Spotify to Apple Music (which supports lossless) I noticed an increase in bass and clarity. But at the end of the day it’s entirely up to you

By increase in bass I mean bass became less audible and more like a feeling… if that makes sense

[mild pendant]

I see i see, thank you

[mild pendant]

Not at me, glad our currency sucks so its actually cheap:D

[hasty ether]

Never in my years of using Windows I had to literally restart my pc after just starting it the minute before. Damn you Windows Update!

[dense crystal]

Mine just randomly shut off and then it said “we’re working on updates”

Man was i pissed 😤

[celest nova]

heh well

I did install a second graphics card lol

[latent aurora]

Why tho? Is the 3070 not enough?

[celest nova]

Well, I could salvage one from our school, so I wanted to try it out

aaand I have a stupid problem, my monitor has 144Hz, but over DVI. Not G-Sync compatible, so it is stuck at 60Hz natively and 85Hz overclocked.

Now I can use the full 144Hz until I get a replacement display

[pliant comet]

If the monitor has DisplayPort, or HDMI, you could try using either of the two to connect into graphics card.

[celest nova]

Well, I usually have it connected over HDMI, but as I said it isn't G-Sync compatible, so I'm stuck at 60Hz vanilla. Sadly this monitor doesn't have that new features like DP, gotta have to change it in the future.

[halcyon rune]

Guys what part i should change? I got now 16gb ddr4 ram , r5 2600 , some mini itx motherboard, rtx 2060 6gb

[sour phoenix]

cpu maybe

2060 is decent, + gpus are very expensive right now so it isn't worth it

dont take my advice seriously though

my knowledge isnt that good

[latent aurora]

well, if you are happy, don't change it. It's a decent setup.

but if you want to change it, change the CPU to a ryzen 5/7 of the 3rd/4th gen

[sour phoenix]

yeah ^^

[halcyon rune]

I mean i try play warzone and gta fivem max setting it lags / shutters idk how say it i think cpu bottlenecks littlebit

[latent aurora]

Well, I have worser settings than you - serious worser settings and do not have any stutters in GTA5 at Ultra.

guess its your ram tho, had that as well with my old ryzen PC

[sand valley]

i mean 10+ cars ai on west coast would be a decent test aswell

[halcyon rune]

Well gta if i have normal or ultra i got only 30-50fps

[sand valley]

MSFS 2020 would be a good test at max settings aswell

[halcyon rune]

Ram usage isnt even high gpu is 80-100usage and cpu is like 50-100 it depends alot what im doing

[sand valley]

If you have vr HL:A would be another good test

[halcyon rune]

I will test this

[sour phoenix]

what speed is your ram at?

[sand valley]

alr

[sour phoenix]

higher speed works better with ryzen i think

[sand valley]

my pc is decent the gpu is the only horrible thing really if i were to upgrade it id need the 6600xt the version with only one fan because it wont fit otherwise without cutting the harddrive bay out i cant even fit a normal 1080 because of it

[halcyon rune]

I think 3200? Im not sure i need chek it when i get gf place

whenever you choose your gpu, watch these kind of videos explaining stats of gpus, make sure to read reviews, cause some gpus say have fans built differently and some may break more often. Simple stuff like that but it matter

[mighty idol]

hmmm

try using other ports

it should be fine tho.....probably either port, keyboard or your laptop itself doesn't support that keyboard (legacy and stuff)

[spiral yew]

i wouldn't trust used graphic cards since you don't know if they have been used for mining

[gleaming parrot]

Anything that has 4+gb of vram has been used for mining at some point

There is no getting around it unless you buy new

I know cause i do quite some used reselling

And also the company that ‘pays me’ to free them from old it stuff used the work pcs at night for automated mining and they funded famous drink brand supplies from the income

Just imagine 53+-10 pcs with 1070ti or higher level capabilities working at the same time

[sinful monolith]

obviously have to be mindful of the risks of buying used things, but it doesn't really matter what it was used for as long as it still works and was maintained properly (kept free of dust etc.)

[gleaming parrot]

actually linus tech tips did a video on how mining affects gpus performance
if they are used in normal/reasonable condition (not overclocked and maybe even undervolted for less power usage) there is almost no performance loss compared to a non mining card

[mighty idol]

as long as it work, it work

which one should i get
a ryzen 7 2700x and an x470 aorus board
or
a ryzen 5 3600 and a b550 mag tomahawk

use it for gaming video editing and encoding, photoshop and sometimes 3d modelling/structural engineering

[spiral yew]

i would save up more and get a better ryzen cpu if you are gonna do video editing and using 3d programs like cad

https://turbofuture.com/computers/Build-Photo-Editing-PC the prices are in USD

[agile ermine]

I'd say none of these

the b550 mag is a nonsense with a previous gen ryzen

the 2700X is outdated

idk for what price you're getting these, but i'd say a b450 tomahawk max and a ryzen 7 3700X/3800X shouldn't be far

[gleaming parrot]

Yeah that would be the optimal case but im short on both time and money and these two are currently the two best choices that are available
Also i need front panel type c as i have a cabledock from there

After some time i’d surely upgrade to a 3800x or something better but as of now these two are available

Thats also why i didnt ask about a b450 board as those dont have front panel type c

And used market with some discounts on these packs

[agile ermine]

by the way, aren't you using gpu encoding?

actually, it doesn't really matters, both are very close in terms of performance, the 2700X is a little bit better for productivity while the 3600 is much better for gaming... so I'd say go for the 3600, and with a b550 motherboard you'll be able to upgrade for a 5th gen ryzen later if necessary

I hate 10 keyless keyboards.

They don't have D-Pads. Which makes it hard for me to use the Dev Cam on ETS2 and ATS.

So I will sacrifice keyboard tray space for my full key keyboard.

[pliant comet]

Technically it's possible to change the settings for controls of the dev cam in controls.sii file of the profile you're using.

[hasty ether]

Hmmm....

Bind them too arrow keys like in ETS1?

[hasty ether]

Well I can't switch to Ten Keyless because if I don't have a D-Pad I can't log into windows fast enough.

[sinful monolith]

I got a separate numpad-only keyboard so I don't have to have it taking up space all the time, only when I need it, and even then I can have it on the left or right depending on where it's more convenient

so if I'm using 0 in ets2/ats I can have it on the left or when I do flight sim it can be on the right

I bought myself one despite having a full keyboard, it is just easier to use a cam with my left hand.

I mean that could be easily the answer.

I have 5 Ghz Wifi speed (mostly)

[remote estuary]

Wi-fi 5 goes up to 867mbps, which is not exactly 5g territory imo. Wi-fi 6 is, with its 1200mbps speed

[dusty timber]

4G is a cellular standard, WiFi 6 is a wireless standard, they are different

[sinful monolith]

and 5GHz in wifi isn't speed but frequency

higher frequencies are generally better if there's nothing between the access point and the device connecting to it, but their range is worse and they have more trouble going through walls and other material

yeah, but I feels the os is a lot heavier....probably my pc didn't support them or just my pc is too potato for it

[frail storm]

• my file explorer literally crashes when i select a file and delete, copy or cut it

[dusty timber]

Had no problems with 11 recently (except taskbar functionality)

[warped tundra]

i have too old cpu to 11...

potato cpu

[mighty idol]

imagine running windows 11 with a Q6600
yep that's me

[remote estuary]

Same here, but I don't need win11 so

[celest nova]

I have a compatible one, and older ones, I'm still staying with Win10. I simply don't like the new OS, tried it once.

Warning big flex incoming

If it'll even send

When games get so big you need the biggest amount of disk space
My Dad gave me his 4 tb drive so now I don't have disk space issues.

I mean it is a flex but it was cheaper because of the damage at the back of it.

All in all it's perfectly fine!

6tb baby

Oops I mean 7tb my math was off a bit.

[hasty ether]

Actually you can spot the damage pretty well -ish

Riiiight here.

Actually lemme give you a better look.

It's a bit blurry.

Could of used my Moms tablet for that picture

But whatever I don't care about picture quality, Much.

Four Drives, 7TB.

[mighty idol]

me still thinking what I'm gonna do with that 4TB

[brittle mountain]

me still wondering why i needed a Raid6 array with 6 4tb drives just to save 2tb of data on them

[hasty ether]

Me when games take up more space:

[clever spire]

Just FYI you don't wanna use the WD elements for gaming. I have one too and it's pretty damn slow, I can't imagine how bad it is trying to run games from it

[hasty ether]

Eh.

I only put games in there that I don't need my SSD power for.

And with my two wd 1tb drives

[clever spire]

Fair, but even compared to a SATA HDD it's incredibly slow

[mighty shore]

Me who's totally fine with 1.5 tb of SSD and 1tb HDD storage: Confused screaming

[hasty ether]

You have 2.5tb right?

pc: randomly starts load something in the background which makes my mouse have an hourglass next to it

Hey guys um.. i feel a bit stupid but.. i have a big problem.. I decided to reset my pc to make it clean again aaand bada beem bada boom i can’t login after the reset.. when I put my password in and hit enter, it says “User Profile Service failed to logon”
I tried a fix method by microsoft but unfortunately it didn’t fix my problem.. anyone who knows what to do now?

[hasty ether]

ooooooof

Man I don't think you can get your user account back

You may need to just-

Yeah no you're just gonna have to wipe the whole system

I don't think theres any other way.

[sand valley]

Well I don’t care about the account, if there’s no other option, then i don’t care about it, I just want my PC to work somehow.. The problem is that I don’t know how to wipe the whole system now..

[wild star]

Create windows 10/11 installer on USB (with official Microsoft tool) and boot from it. Then wipe drive, where broken system was installed. I'd like to suggest you backing up your important data before wiping drive

And yeah, dont feel stupid while asking

[spiral yew]

kinda hard to backup data when they can't even access it

[wild star]

He can boot from any rescue LiveCD/Windows on USB/use command prompt in recovery mode to backup all needed data

I think user data was not deleted/damaged, cuz he has issues with only user profile service

[sand valley]

My brain is dead rn

but I’ll try my best to figure this out i guess

thank you and hope it helps

[wild star]

Let me know on what step you're having issues, @sand valley

[sand valley]

The problem is that I don’t know how to make the installer on the USB because I can’t access anything at all

[wild star]

ok, lemme explain.
Download this official media creation tool from Microsoft website - https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=691209
Connect USB to PC
Open downloaded tool
Follow steps in app
After everything installed, boot to BIOS and select your USB to boot FIRST in boot manager
Follow steps in installer

[sand valley]

But the problem is that there’s no way for me to download it when I can’t get into the PC at all, and I don’t have any other PC so..

[wild star]

that's really an issue. can you load system into recovery state?

[sand valley]

Well, I can do reset again, I can load it in Safe mode (but I only get a White screen that’s all), I can do these things when i hold Shift and press restart

But I tried everything and nothing fixed my problem..

[wild star]

have you had restore points enabled in system?

if yes, were they done before the issue happens?

[sand valley]

no unfortunately.. @wild star

[wild star]

then, the only way is to reinstall windows via windows recovery environment... click on restart button with shift pressed. after recovery loads, press Troubleshoot and click on Reset this PC

[sand valley]

Already did that

same thing again

[wild star]

have you tried selecting Command prompt in recovery and using DISM?

[sand valley]

DISM? No never done that in my whole life

[wild star]

ok, let's try. Go to recovery, open Command prompt. Then type:
Dism /image:D: /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

(we got in dm's)

[sand valley]

Alright give me a minute

[dusty timber]

[mighty idol]

I got a really potato phone from my grandma and thinking to flash it to a lighter rom but yeah

that's the problem

[celest nova]

Yes, was kinda lucky in getting that one. Gonna upgrade it soon though, bought up a load of graphics cards with a package weight of approximately over 20kg

[remote estuary]

What model?

Also that software is just... I unlocked mine instantly but it really depends on the version of the tool you're using afaik
I can send the one I have, if you want

[mighty idol]

Redmi 5A

[mighty idol]

yea sure...I mean I can give it a try

it's my grandma's old phone and the battery got some problem so she bought a new phone and I take the old phone

[remote estuary]

Oh I have a 4A, basically the same phone and yea I unlocked that instantly on 1st try

I've put Android 12 on it, not that bad actually. Just a little laggy sometimes but that's to be expected

[sand valley]

Can confirm the android 12 thing I have a Samsung A32 5G and updated it from 11 to 12 (natively supported it) and one application so far makes it lag

[celest nova]

Heh, also did that a while ago. Updated my Android 5.1 Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition Tablet to LineageOS 17

[dusty timber]

I have my Nexus 5 on the latest LineageOS

[sand valley]

I might root my phone here soon very simple

[remote estuary]

How's the power button doing? It's a well known weak point of that phone

[dusty timber]

I changed it once hehe

[mighty idol]

flashed my redmi 5a to android 12 pixel experience

it runs better than I expected

and most apps looks different from other androids

[remote estuary]

[dusty timber]

I wish I can have Pixel Experience on my S10

[remote estuary]

:)

Same here CJ, on my Nord 2 but.. modding has become harder to do. But I don't hate OxygenOS too so

[dusty timber]

I hate One UI, or rather they way it changes every major release

I hate Material You more tbh

[feral leaf]

I quite like this though

But they push global updates like way too late 😂

Cba to get the ROM from the indian market

[remote estuary]

Ah you got the XT, interesting choice

[feral leaf]

It is enough for me

For my social media and IM needs

[remote estuary]

MaterialU is fine for me, my dad has a Samsung with OneUI and yea.. not that great imo

[feral leaf]

I bailed out of Samsung (was using J7 prime) back in '19

Before that I had an S2 and S4 😂

[remote estuary]

The thing about OneUI I like is Samsung Pay requiring fingerprint to pay, unlike GPay

[dusty timber]

I hate the looks of new widgets. My home screen was minimalistic and great with a plain dark look, now it is all gone

[remote estuary]

I had a S7 for 3 years, best phone I ever had at that point

[dusty timber]

See, that's horrible

[feral leaf]

I don't normally use Gpay however the one tap pay on playstore that requires me to use the fingerprint scan is nice

[dusty timber]

I can't use Gpay anymore lol

[feral leaf]

Yeap that's mine

Don't mind the notif on social group, I cba to open WhatsApp messages regarding work on my holidays 😂

[remote estuary]

[mighty idol]

ok now I found a bug on the pixel experience

I can't connect my simcard

but it connects to wifi just fine

[sand valley]

Lol

Maybe you killed your sim card or port for your sim card?

[kind sapphire]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[mighty idol]

well, it said you need to remove it to disable it....

my friend already expected it and said it's probably firmware issue

I'll probably rollback to older firmware

[remote estuary]

I think I'm using latest for Nougat, on my 4A

Currently on Havoc 4.16 rom, I recommend
Also, our devices Bear are "unified" called Rova (Rolex + Riva) so most stuff is compatible with both

[mighty idol]

lemme give a try

[pastel spruce]

Why…

[remote estuary]

I'm pretty sure Google suspended transactions and purchases to Russian users so yea that could be why

[pastel spruce]

On right

[remote estuary]

Like, you can't buy apps on play store, even the cheapest one

[shell oyster]

Opinions on Thrustmaster T150/TMX?

[dusty timber]

Yes

[mighty idol]

after I reflashed to oreo firmware...the sim card works just fine....but then so many sensors not working(including the battery sensor) and most custom rom can't be installed (havoc is one of the exception)

[remote estuary]

Weird, cuz most roms require Oreo fw

[mighty idol]

I have a riva community telegram and they said you need to flash to nougat firmware to install modt of the custom rom

[remote estuary]

wha- I may be wrong here then

[mighty idol]

and I've tried some of the rom using oreo firmware and got error 7

except havoc

[remote estuary]

Ah error 7, I got it yesterday while flashing Pie
Fixed it by mounting system

[wild star]

have you tried installing custom firmware for your device?

and does installation guide of custom ROM says smth about that issue?

[mighty idol]

they didn't say about it....I already talked about it in the community but still waiting for answers

[mighty idol]

hmmm custom firmware huh.....sounds fun

[wild star]

I mean custom hardware firmware

[gleaming parrot]

finally my pc is fully working

managed to grab a b550 gaming x v2 that has front panel type c

[barren bay]

nice bro

[keen elbow]

Does anyone know how to fix this?

[dusty timber]

Check the pinned message in #support. And next time ask in #support.

[vagrant relic]

I like how it asks if you need help with this and people ignore it and ask the discord server straight away.there is nothing wrong with asking in discord but it does tell you what to do.

[dusty timber]

ikr... 2fa page is a perfect example - it literally tells you what to do. I spent so much time making 2fa page as informative as possible, but forgot one small thing - people cannot read.

[brittle mountain]

assuming people can read and/or pay attention is a bold strategy 😂

[celest nova]

Looks good I guess

Heck this thing was dirty

[still cloak]

Are you using windows xp or something?

[celest nova]

yes

[still cloak]

I don't think windows xp will ever launch steam or any game

[celest nova]

well it does?

[still cloak]

What?

[celest nova]

The OS doesn't have to stop from games playing or even steam (well steam is not possible since the last updates, but it did in fact work)

[spiral yew]

win xp or win 7 were the best os's to game on

[celest nova]

Just played my session of Trackmania United Forever on highest settings, 1050p resolution. Pretty solid actually for that old GPU

[still cloak]

Wth

I seriously would've thought that's not possible awesome tho

Last time i saw xp was a long long time qgo

[celest nova]

Well, this system in particular is capped by 3GB RAM max, so yeah in that terms not for the widerange of games but it can play many games indeed

[spiral yew]

yes there will be compatibility issues but nothing is stopping you from using the OS for other purposes

[celest nova]

Well, since I recently bought a GPU bundle I now have 4 8800 GTS, 1 GTX 295, 1 GTX 550 Ti, 1 GTX 570 and so on, all of those can also play games xD

[spiral yew]

i got rick rolled by discord

[celest nova]

Yeah, and this is also the original OEM OS, didn't want to change it tbh xD So yeah, gaming on that even is a breeze, atleast for the XPera games

[still cloak]

Of course, ets probably won't work but those older games a in a way better anyway

[celest nova]

Hehe I'm waiting to see how this beast will perform

[spiral yew]

i'm getting a new shiny on tuesday

[celest nova]

I wish I could safe this beast. Top of the line motherboard from the older days

[celest nova]

which one u getting?

[spiral yew]

i'll post a pic on tuesday

[still cloak]

That looks so awesome 776 :o

[celest nova]

XFX nforce 790i Ultra SLI, LGA 775, DDR3 RAM, possible for 3 graphics cards running with SLI

sadly in horrible state, socket bent (not that hard to fix though), whole power circuit removed, cooling bridge missing (hard to find) and well, it has been through an oven before. So there might be more things damaged.

Maybe I'm gonna hang that up on the wall, still a special board tbh

[still cloak]

What do you think of this badboy with the heatpipes on it 😍

[celest nova]

is this yours?

[still cloak]

First board i bought, sadly it's broken

[celest nova]

ahh damn

well, it is also very nice if I say so myself

[still cloak]

It's been collecting dust but i can't just throw it away

[spiral yew]

they really did use every square inch of that motherboard

[still cloak]

Oh yes they don't make them like the old ones anyone

Now it's rainbow barf and mini heaters lol

[spiral yew]

i don't mind a little rbg like the logo lighting up

[jovial nest]

Anyone know how to Calibrate G29 with LGS

[sand valley]

Do I have to buy a new cpu fan with these weird plastic screw clip things or can I get one that uses screws

[spiral yew]

if your case has enough room just buy a aftermarket one from corsair or a different company

[sand valley]

But

Do I need to have those weird plastic things

[spiral yew]

no

[sand valley]

Okay

Also why won't the fan come off the motherboard

It's just a weird clip thing with those plastic things

[spiral yew]

those weird plastic things are what is holding the fan onto the motherboard

[sand valley]

Yes

We have rotated them and pulled them up but the fan won't come off

[spiral yew]

is a aftermarket motherboard or something like a dell or hp

[sand valley]

Asus

It's a prebuilt the g11cd to be precise

[spiral yew]

space between the ram and cpu looks tight so you might run into issues there

[sand valley]

Okay

So

Basically

The fan will move up and down with the screws rotated right

But it does not come off

[spiral yew]

you can't loosen the screws anymore?

[sand valley]

Nope

[spiral yew]

and there is nothing on the back of the motherboard preventing the screws from being loosened

[sand valley]

No clue

There's a metal plate blocking my view that the motherboard is attached to

[spiral yew]

i would see if you can get access to the back of the motherboard

[sand valley]

Alright

I'll just take the motherboard off

[spiral yew]

with it being a prebuilt there might be something there preventing you from removing it

[sand valley]

Yeah

[still cloak]

Pull on the corners it'll come out

It's just a bit iffy

[sand valley]

So

I have the fan off

Screws work in this hole?

[gleaming parrot]

Do not screw into a pcb even if there are no power lanes going around

[still cloak]

Oh no

[gleaming parrot]

Fire hazard

Just watch the gamers nexus nzxt riser cable documentary about pcb fire

Same might happen if you screw into the motherboard

[still cloak]

If you have a new cooler there will be a bracket you need to put on an sometimes a back plate

[spiral yew]

yea most aftermarket cpu coolers include a backplate

[gleaming parrot]

On intel some come with just the plstic pin retention mechanism same as the stock cooler; some have backplates and screws that screw into the backplate but never into the board itself

[spiral yew]

yea never screw directly into the board

[sand valley]

This is the fan

[spiral yew]

if you have rubbing alcohol i would use that to clean off the cpu since you removed the cooler

[sand valley]

Yeah

What should I use to put the rubbing alcohol on

Microfiber?

[still cloak]

qtips

[sand valley]

Right

[still cloak]

or some tp

[sand valley]

Done

Then how do I figure the right size for the fan considering the model on the fan doesn't go to the fan

[still cloak]

If you look on the motherboard or in the manual it'll say which socket the board has

[sand valley]

I don't know what motherboard it is

[still cloak]

I can see the asus logo on the pic you sent

[spiral yew]

the motherboard model is usually stamped on the motherboard somewhere

[sand valley]

I found it maybe

Considering it's the exact name of the pc

[still cloak]

If you google that you will probably find the cpu socket that your board has

Note that some coolers will be compatible with multiple sockets, so make sure yours will fit

[sand valley]

Nope

I know the socket

I just need the right size fan

Otherwise my PC won't boot if i don't have ram in slot 1 I do believe

I can't find the model

[still cloak]

Send a picture of the full board please

[still cloak]

https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/97128/intel-core-i77700-processor-8m-cache-up-to-4-20-ghz.html

You got this one? Socket 1151.

[sand valley]

Same processor

Yes

[still cloak]

You'll need a cooler compatible with socket 1151

[sand valley]

I know that

I need to know the fan size

Because the stock one almost touched the damn RAM

maybe half a cm of clearance

[still cloak]

https://www.amazon.com/Hyper-TX3-Cooler-Direct-Contact/dp/B005HIRDUA

This one goes vertical so no problems with clearance

[sand valley]

That might work

Lemme check on vert clearance

[still cloak]

There's no 1 size for a cpu fan you can go as small or big as you like

[sand valley]

That would be pushing it in vertical clearance

I have like 6 inches from very bottom to top

From standoff to top it's 6

One of the issue with TMP also is that in busy locations, you are slowed down by other players to send to the server, and then to you, their individual information, speed, options, directions, etc. None of this can happen instantly, the problem is also compounded by trucks that have a million options on them I guess

I got a new shiny

[mighty idol]

and I'm still wondering why my bluetooth won't work well with windows 7

[spiral yew]

i use a bluetooth dongle

[remote estuary]

Same a cheap one at that and it just works. It even grabs the battery info of my headset

[mighty idol]

yea same...but it's like not gonna cooperate with windows 7

it's like it's saying the controller is already connected but my controller is still in pairing mode

driver is fine.....guess no bluetooth for windows 7

[still cloak]

what brand is the dongle, and do you have a model number maybe?

[mighty idol]

it's made by Cambridge Silicon Radio and the model is CSR 4.0 iirc

in windows 10, I just use generic bluetooth driver and it work well, but if I use the same driver in windows 7, I wouldn't work

[still cloak]

https://www.snappy-driver-installer.org/

[dusty timber]

https://sdi-tool.org/ is the original

[still cloak]

Idk they have the same page but sure, anyway it'll maybe be able to find the driver you need

[dusty timber]

I've never heard about Origin, but I use the second one pretty much every day

[still cloak]

If not i'd recommend using windows 10 anyway since well, win7 is not supported anymore i believe

[still cloak]

I got it from this youtuber "chris titus tech"

[still cloak]

https://youtu.be/5ckOWXGDL34

[dusty timber]

Speaking from my personal experience 👍

[wild star]

Personally, I dont really recommend use any apps like Snappy Driver Installer. If system works well, let it work well and dont care about drivers. If you really want to update your drivers, do it via Intel DSA/Windows Update - go to unnecessary updates and if there are any drives, select them to update (critical updates will be installed automatically while checking Windows updates).

[dusty timber]

Depends on the system, actually

[wild star]

Anyways, if user wants stable drivers and system - he should do it manually and without any apps. I have never had any examples of anyone using those apps.

[dusty timber]

I agree (to some degree).

[jovial nest]

how can i downgrade to windows 10 or can i not

[still cloak]

downgrade? you're using win11?

[still cloak]

If this doesn’t appear you’ll need to do a clean install of win10

[still cloak]

i use it personally on older systems where windows can't find any drivers but sdi can.

[jovial nest]

ah i cant anymore win 11 is messing with my wheel so i cant play

[still cloak]

clean install it is then sadly. If you have another drive or an external one, you could back up the game to it. Saves you one download at least.

[jovial nest]

yeah i just dont wanna redownload everything

when i wipe my pc will it go back to windows 10?

[still cloak]

maybe it's possible to keep some files, if you have an install disk/usb for win10 try to run it in win11

[jovial nest]

are you good with wheel problems?

[still cloak]

i don't have a wheel myself but you could try sdi too or look on the website of the brand your wheel is from

usually the website has some drivers on it, if it's not some unknown brand of course

[jovial nest]

i have a Logitech g29 and it acts like a wheel when i play ima send it in dms

[pliant comet]

Have you installed G Hub/LGS ? Any of the mentioned programs will handle the G29, along with all of its functions.

[jovial nest]

yes

[wild star]

no, you need to create USB with Windows 10 installer on it, if you want get back to Windows 10.

[wild star]

try installing drivers on it

[wild star]

if you want us to help you, dont say "lets go in dms i will explain". send it here.

[agile ermine]

ever heard about optic fiber?

[hasty ether]

We literally can not get it here.

[gleaming parrot]

we have 2gigabit fiber in the street but i cant convince parents to switch from 500mbps coax
all because the 2gig with ~30 more tv channels is from a different more known provider and costs (exchange rates can vary) 3.50eur more monthly and they would need to drill another hole in the wall of the house as obviously it will go next to the currently existing coaxial and def not replace it

[hasty ether]

Lucky you. We can't get it even if we tried. Besides I don't think there is any point anyways. We live in the MiddleOfNoWhere.

[frozen mantle]

We can get “fibre optic” here in the uk but at most it’s 500mb/s but very very rarely it’s 1gbps but you’re paying like £60-80/month for it 😂

[hasty ether]

Lucky you.

We have DSL and I don't know what speeds we get from Windstream.

But hey. At least it's much better than Dial-up.

I don't mind pings (do you? ) so no worries
Anyway, I've never changed fw on my 4a, after modding it, it's just the latest by Xiaomi

I think it's Global tho

Not really, £62/month (78USD 73Euro) is not a fair price imo. And even then it’s from a company that is well known for terrible customer service, rarely meeting their claimed speeds and forcing you into a 18 month contract.

[remote estuary]

Is that 1gb down and up?

[hasty ether]

Ouch.

I guess nevermind.

[frozen mantle]

1gb down 52up

[remote estuary]

Oof

[frozen mantle]

Yeah, internet in the UK sucks and you pay double the price for it

Bear in mind I live in London also so I’m quite lucky with the speeds I can get, most are stuck with 80 down 20 up max

Infact that’s what we have now, as they’re the only ISP that is reliable and has decent customer service

[severe sage]

Not too bad for WiFi, thought it was much worse

[remote estuary]

Then you right Foxxy, it's not fair. We get 2500/200 for 28€ here so

[severe sage]

for only 28 quid? bloody hell.

[frozen mantle]

28 euro, so probably 24-5 quid

[remote estuary]

Yea and there's one provider that offers 5gbit down and 700 up, for just 16 if you have one of their mobile plans already.

If not, it's 24

[severe sage]

eh, probably not for much longer 😛

[frozen mantle]

Honestly living in the UK you pay a premium for everything. And it’s not like there’s anything special about living here 😂

[frozen mantle]

Just ridiculously cheap tbh

[remote estuary]

Indeed

[frozen mantle]

Compared to ours which is 3.5/4x as expensive and slower speeds 😂

[severe sage]

data must be one of the biggest scams here as well, your entire bank account and your left kidney for barely 1 bar of 4g if you're lucky

[frozen mantle]

Aha, atm I pay 70quid for unlimited

But that’s with an IPhone 13 pro and has a multi line discount

[remote estuary]

It's 40€ for unlimited (Vodafone)

Without a phone

[severe sage]

Vodafone does good deals and luckily I get pretty major discounts but where I live it's absolute crap

[frozen mantle]

Where I am 5g is pretty good and even when I’m out in the sticks I get good reception , I may be paying a premium but when it comes to anything to do with a phone I’ll always be with EE, there coverage is A+

[remote estuary]

We have 5G where I live, but my plan is 4G+ only

[severe sage]

5G, what is that? Im stuck here with 3G haha

I've only experienced the joys of 5G while staying in Bristol, you're damn lucky.

[frozen mantle]

Ah, we don’t get 4g+ iirc only 4g or 5g

[frozen mantle]

Ah the only benefit of living in London 😂

[severe sage]

Ah, i'm out in the countryside so chances of having a 5G connection soon is next to nil.

[frozen mantle]

😂

[agile ermine]

70+€ for 1000/52 is absolutely insane...

[frozen mantle]

Fair enough, Altho I’d rather have 4g in the countryside than 5g in the city aha

[frozen mantle]

Tell me about it

[old panther]

Paying 52€/mo for 75 down and 25 up, with 3TB/month maximum. Really thinking I'm getting scammed in my country when I see that in France they get much more for much less

[remote estuary]

I'm on a 200/20 contract, getting 60 down tho due to technology limits paying 25€ with no monthly cap

[old panther]

What, they sell 200 down to you and you end up having 60. Do they even give you a discount for that

[sand valley]

500 Mbps no cap 3 people ~80 usd

[agile ermine]

Well, im in France and im paying 35€ for 1000/600 (which are pretty much the real speeds I get...) and TV

[old panther]

That's so niiice, I want to move in France just for that. ISP's are a scam in Belgium

[sand valley]

Though my isp throttles at 7:50 - 8:50

[agile ermine]

you can litteraly get 8Gb/s down for 50€/month here (edit : you actually need to pay 500€ to get the player as well, but that's the highest consumer-grade offer here, so...)

[sand valley]

Damn

[sinful monolith]

if a deal to build out the infrastructure goes through I'm getting 1000/100 for 25€/mo towards the end of the year or early next

fibre expansion projects are nice

[old panther]

Even mobile contracts are really interesting in France. I pay 15€/mo for 5GB, 120 min calls, when apparently you can get like 15 times better in France for the same price

[agile ermine]

im paying 13€ for unlimited calls and 80GB, and for that price I can use my phone in the whole EU as well... and you can have even better contracts, but that's the low cost stuff so the customer service is garbage

[old panther]

I get garbage customer service as well haha

[agile ermine]

we got lucky to have a price war between the different providers some years ago, it brought all the prices down

[sinful monolith]

always found monthly caps to be odd... there's only per second caps for mobile plans here in Finland

[old panther]

There's really only one "correct" ISP in Belgium, all the other ISP's mainly use the main ISP (Proximus) lines/antennas and sell from there, so no price wars even possible. Prices just end up being high because of that

[old panther]

For a normal usage it's really great, though if you want to use the entire bandwidth provided, you'd be limited by your plan, where with a monthly plan you can use it entirely and the only limit will be your monthly usage. ISP's should give the option to choose between a monthly plan and a short plan (Mo or Go/second), if you know you won't ever need to download or upload higher than what the plan provides you, then a "per second" cap is really great and I'd love having that

[agile ermine]

actually, the ISP who started the price war here was mostly using the hardware from another ISP

and if you don't need internet here, that will be 2€/month with everything else unlimited, so yeah...

(that's also the reason why everyone dropped their prices)

[old panther]

Hoping one of our ISPs will try to do that risky take of dropping prices one day

[agile ermine]

the thing is, if you drop your prices, you'll attract more customers, which also means the other ISPs will lose customers and will have to drop their prices as well in order to survive

but maybe they don't want to drop their prices? after all, it's more money in their pockets

[old panther]

But as you said, dropping price will attract way more customers, so it's a win

Or maybe it wouldn't attract customers because the ISP isn't popular enough

And it'd be a bankrupt for them

[agile ermine]

it will if the price drop is big enough

[mighty idol]

still searching for a perfect fw that the sim card would work....I've seen some people complaining about the problem using nougat fw.....anyway I've already told my friend that knowledgeable in phone tech and he's gonna look for it

hopefully he can fix it.....phone tech really complicated

[remote estuary]

That's weird because my mom used to daily drive the 4A modded and ofc SIM worked just fine.. and fw was the same

do you want these to plug into your pc or the wheel?

[swift plaza]

In pc

[swift plaza]

Big thank you 🙏 ,shall I type PS2 Female connector?

[still cloak]

as far as i know ps2 is very old. So either you're lucky and have the black one on your io, or you need a ps2 to usb adapter. if that helps any.

[swift plaza]

i need a ps2 usb adaptor

i have*******

but it is wrong sized

the picture you send is female connectors since they have holes. so you'll need male ps2 to usb i think. https://www.ebay.com/itm/383078542924?hash=item593142ae4c:g:p10AAOSwPV1fMxhQ this has both for $5

[swift plaza]

5$ is not to really cry about, thanks a lot

[still cloak]

nvm you need the black one too i'm stupide

[swift plaza]

yep

[still cloak]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/PS2-Male-to-USB-Female-Mouse-Converter-Connector-Coupler-Adapter-Black-/390874042627

might work, but a big maybe. i think you're going to need to find an older pc with the ps2 connections on it. and then pray it will be able to run ets.

[pliant comet]

The pedal set of the steering wheel may use the pinout, which is most likely incompatible with standard PS/2 pinout. Also, Thrustmaster Ferrari Challenge doesn't seem to use PS/2 style connector for its pedal set, at least according to the manual. If you want to use the pedal set with other racing wheels on your PC, you could use the Thrustmaster wheel as the adapter, assuming that your PC will detect it.

GTAV on mobile wow https://forum.cfx.re/t/announcing-fivem-undocked-for-android-on-snapdragon/2528429

[celest nova]

April fools

[sand valley]

Was not April fools

[spiral yew]

is gtav even possible on mobile devices except for the steam deck

[sand valley]

Yeah

because of the snapdragon

[spiral yew]

i looked it up and it's not natively supported you have to stream it from your pc or download it from a unknown website

[celest nova]

Yea, was april fools.

Streaming works, not how the article described it however.

[tawny pasture]

It was April fools, but is an actual product FiveM is developing for powerful Android devices that can run it.

When you get an old Plasma TV, you have to try playing MK64 xD

What is the best microphone in decent price? Rode is good enough?

[spiral yew]

depends if you want a XLR mic or a USB condenser mic

[sand valley]

USB condenser

[spiral yew]

i'm currently using a blue yeti nano

[inland mason]

is developer testing the whitelist server?

[sand valley]

Pure and clear voice BUT not that perfect because it will take all noise around my room (parents etc.)

Im using Razer Siren and I’m not happy about it

[inland mason]

i just see a event converses（whitelist）

[sand valley]

Is it good?

[spiral yew]

ren are you using the razer program?

[sand valley]

I got it on my PC and it’s running in the background only, why?

[spiral yew]

you can make adjustments on the razer program for your mic

[sand valley]

XDDDD the problem is that it won’t detect it no matter what. Im using both programs (older razer and newer one) and it’s true nightmare. I changed my mouse and keyboard to Logitech recently

[spiral yew]

you can only use 1 razer program

[sand valley]

And I’m looking forward to change my mic too, only mouse pad is good

[inland mason]

logic g502？

[sand valley]

Newer program could only detect mouse pad (chroma) and mouse, older one got keyboard

[spiral yew]

the 2 razer programs are fighting each other

[sand valley]

I know, I was fighting 2 vs 1, nothing worked and I gave up. Scroll in the mouse broke after a week of using and for about 2,5 year I was using mouse with broken scroll

[spiral yew]

which razer siren are you using?

[sand valley]

The cheaper one XD

[spiral yew]

there are 3 of em listed as compatible on the razer 3.0 program

[sand valley]

I would need to take a look after 2 years but I don’t think if I’m mentally prepared for this…

[spiral yew]

seiren emote, v2 pro, v2 X

the seiren, seiren pro are compatible for 2.0

[sand valley]

I got already headache… 😿

[spiral yew]

any of these?

[sand valley]

Nope
