#

that means its working on something, those keep going

#

and its not finding anything

#

do you know what im talking about at all?

ashen igloo
#

I don't if you want to take a picture it might help

fallow kiln
#

1 sec

#

plz

#

Its called a loading bar

#

that's what i mean the loading bar is just going

#

Its a desktop

#

And my PC doesn't support wireless update and im basically confused i never did any updates before

#

I turned off my antivirus some people said it could cause problems but it doesn't seem to

#

I can't upload pictures @ashen igloo

ashen igloo
#

Holy s*** Windows XP

ashen igloo
#

You're going to need a dedicated driver for that

fallow kiln
#

Windows update website, and inside MSI Center "This PC does not support wireless update!"

ashen igloo
#

I would just recommend backing up everything and reinstalling windows

fallow kiln
#

I don't know how

#

I don't think I need to backup I don't wanna save stuff

ashen igloo
#

Well first, do you even have a legit key?

fallow kiln
#

and I don't know if my pc is broken

#

Or if its just old, because the applications won't open

#

some applications won't open and the update thing just keeps searching

#

and I don't know what a legit key is

ashen igloo
#

Can't help you if you don't know what the basic nomenclature is

fallow kiln
#

the reason i think its broken is because it says it had a update

#

that was installed, so why won't it do it anymore?

#

November 21th 2013

ashen igloo
#

Are you trolling right now?

fallow kiln
#

Nope

#

I checked and it says it had a update but I don't know why it stopped thats what i mean

#

because when I turn update on now it keeps searching and gets hot too

#

and its turned off again if I start from scratch

#

hard to upload pics here

#

I don't know what to do

#

if someone can help it would mean so much

ashen igloo
#

Do you know for sure you're on Windows XP?

#

Well you said 2013

ashen igloo
#

So I assume that's right

#

You can't update that computer easily anyways

fallow kiln
#

It says Automatic recommended but it keeps going back to nothing being selected at all which is weird it shouldnt even be possible right?

ashen igloo
#

The computer operating system stop being supported 10 years ago

fallow kiln
#

it should always have one thing selected but every time i restart from scratch it goes back to having nothing selected, MSI Center says "Wireless update not supported!"

ashen igloo
#

You can't download an update through traditional means

fallow kiln
#

yeah so what can I do

ashen igloo
#

Go to the Windows XP discord

fallow kiln
#

can you link?

ashen igloo
#

No but you can Google it

fallow kiln
#

I can't

ashen igloo
#

If you can't use Google, you aren't going to be able to update it

fallow kiln
#

I don't really know man

#

if I can't update it is there anyway to make applications work?

polar fern
#

🤔

fallow kiln
#

I don't know when this started or whats wrong

ashen igloo
#

Where did you even get this computer?

fallow kiln
#

I built it myself 10 years ago

polar fern
#

Assembled*

ashen igloo
#

Well you weren't doing anything on it that's for damn sure

fallow kiln
#

but bad things happened to me and I don't know if that was bad because the pc was in storage

#

and it couldn't update and tbh i don't think it has been updating ever since sitting in storage

ashen igloo
#

Okay look. You can't do anything with this PC

fallow kiln
#

I have used it for a couple of years

ashen igloo
#

Microsoft has officially stopped supporting it

fallow kiln
#

it still plays league of legends i got that to work

#

and watch youtube/twitch

ashen igloo
#

There's only a niche group of people that still use this operating system

polar fern
#

Xp isn’t secure just fyi. Not worth it.

fallow kiln
#

I just don't understand the computer not being able to update

#

or how to update with the usb, I think i need windows 10

ashen igloo
#

You can't install Windows 10 on that computer

fallow kiln
#

i don't have data on the pc so im fine that it resets

ashen igloo
#

Probably the highest that you can go to is Windows 7 maybe?

fallow kiln
#

So it doesn't support?

#

that would be fine?

ashen igloo
#

I sincerely doubt it does because there are hardware requirements

#

Windows 7 is end of life too

fallow kiln
#

Would that be my motherboard

ashen igloo
#

Motherboard and cpu

fallow kiln
#

MSI motherboard

#

XPower series

#

I'm not the richest person now is there anyway i can do updates without spending a lot of money then ?

ashen igloo
#

Linus tech tips just did a video about how a $600 laptop is actually viable.

#

I spent just $600 on my CPU

fallow kiln
#

can $600 give a good computer

ashen igloo
#

It's going to be better than what you have right now.

fallow kiln
#

but I have the graphics card in this one

ashen igloo
#

In addition, if you learn how to tweak Windows, it'll perform a lot better

fallow kiln
#

or is that like too old too now to even matter

ashen igloo
#

Onboard graphics is going to be better than what you have

fallow kiln
#

this one plays league of legends which is what i use it for

ashen igloo
#

My phone can run League of Legends

fallow kiln
#

Nvidia Geforce 3D Graphics

#

Geforce Gtx 780Ti

ashen igloo
#

Actually that's probably worth more than your computer

fallow kiln
#

I put it in because i wanted to play battlefield but u know

#

parents cut off financial help and

#

i didnt use the pc so i didnt even play that

ashen igloo
#

What can you afford right now? How much money do you got to spare on a new computer?

fallow kiln
#

i dont know

#

is it better to just change motherboard and cpu and gpu again and keep the other stuff?

#

i dont really know anything anymore

ashen igloo
#

Whatever you have right now, hold on to it. Save it for 3 months and add $150 to the pot each month. In 3 months you will have enough to buy a good entry level computer.

jaunty compass
elder sorrel
#

I need a new gpu but just ran out of work lol

#

Broke gang

jaunty compass
fallow kiln
jaunty compass
#

then go with the other option

ashen igloo
fallow kiln
#

if I change my motherboard and cpu and graphics card

#

can I turn my computer on and do a wireless update?

ashen igloo
#

You will have to change out everything.

jaunty compass
ashen igloo
#

No

jaunty compass
#

at least right now the low end hardware is kinda dead

ashen igloo
#

The only thing that you have that's worth keeping, is probably your 780

fallow kiln
#

What about the harddrive and power supply and stuff?

#

and ram?

ashen igloo
#

He could get three generations ago and still be better off than what he is right now

#

SSDs are super cheap

#

Ram is cheap

fallow kiln
#

I think i have a 80gb harddrive and a 500gb one

#

but the 500gb one isn't showing up now in my computer

ashen igloo
#

You could probably trash those

fallow kiln
#

okay

jaunty compass
ashen igloo
#

So what I would do if I were you, I would start piecing out a 10 series CPU and motherboard.

fallow kiln
ashen igloo
#

Yes

jaunty compass
#

ddr3 probably yeah

fallow kiln
ashen igloo
#

Everything you have except for the GPU can be thrown away

jaunty compass
#

new stuff uses ddr4 or ddr5

fallow kiln
#

I think ddr3

jaunty compass
#

depending on what you go

#

it's not a backwards compatible standard so that ram only works on older platforms

fallow kiln
#

but do I have to change the power supply and the box?

ashen igloo
#

Yes you have to change out the power supply too

#

You have to change out the case too

jaunty compass
#

the power supply should be replaced but the case will be fine

#

what case is it, actually?

ashen igloo
#

I mean it will be fine but come on

#

I mean we've already been over this and you keep on asking the same questions over and over again

jaunty compass
#

if the case isn't damaged and is still a modern standard why bother replacing it

ashen igloo
#

Throw out everything except for the GPU

fallow kiln
jaunty compass
#

don't throw it out, just clean it and you can keep using it

#

throwing out parts that are fine is a waste

fallow kiln
#

i'm trying to make it as cheap as possible and hopefully with new parts i can support wireless update and get windows 10 through that? or do i still need to use windows 10 usb

#

sorry for dumb question

ashen igloo
#

You just have to buy a Windows 10 key

jaunty compass
#

you can just download a windows 10 iso online

ashen igloo
#

Windows 10 is free to download from Microsoft's website

#

They came out with a tool several years ago called lol I forget

fallow kiln
#

its that my pc does everything i need it to but now i cant update so i cant use it anymore and have to update

ashen igloo
#

Media Creation something

#

We get it for the 10th time

fallow kiln
#

it gets more fps ingame than my friends newer pc

#

because of the expensive graphics i had in it 10 years ago

#

i have 144 hz 1080

ashen igloo
#

That's what happens when you play a potato game

jaunty compass
#

the gtx 780 no longer has driver support by the way

fallow kiln
#

yea but its making me think i need to buy expensive again so it lasts

ashen igloo
#

The 780 is still a good GPU though.

fallow kiln
ashen igloo
#

In fact I was looking for one about a year ago for my Windows XP build

jaunty compass
fallow kiln
#

"Wireless update is not supported!"

ashen igloo
#

You can use a 780 in Windows 10

fallow kiln
#

in msi center, and windows update keeps searching

ashen igloo
#

Oh my God here we go again

jaunty compass
#

the 780 works fine with windows 10 cheemsburbger

ashen igloo
#

We aren't going to help you with that

fallow kiln
#

i'm just saying it doesn't support

#

you can't even help me with it if it doesn't support it is what im saying

#

i thought it wouldn't be that hard to update the pc tbh so im surprised it means i have to buy a whole new one

ashen igloo
#

The only things from your current computer you can build on is the GPU and maybe the case

fallow kiln
#

the cpu is watercooled, but I don't know if i should keep using that

jaunty compass
#

absolutely do not

#

i'm surprised that decade old watercooling hardware hasn't exploded yet

ashen igloo
#

That s*** is so corroded and probably has bacteria

fallow kiln
#

its a

ashen igloo
#

It doesn't matter what it is

fallow kiln
#

xspc rasa rs240

ashen igloo
#

Doesn't matter

fallow kiln
#

for $600 i can get a good enough pc?

jaunty compass
#

yeah

fallow kiln
#

that supports windows 10

ashen igloo
#

And supports Windows 11

jaunty compass
#

windows 10 has existed since 2015 you're fine

ashen igloo
#

You will be limited to a 9000 or 10,000 CPU

#

And you will probably buy second hand

jaunty compass
#

you can do new just fine

ashen igloo
#

But those can play the latest and greatest games

jaunty compass
#

just go AMD hardware and you can get ryzen 5000

ashen igloo
#

Oh yeah I forget about AMD lol

#

I don't ever buy AMD so they never even pump in my mind

#

Pop

jaunty compass
#

yeah uh
with amd you can build a decent PC for $400 with a ryzen 5 5600g

fallow kiln
ashen igloo
#

Well there you go

fallow kiln
#

and i coudln't even use it, it was just sitting in storage

#

and i think i paid $2000 to build this or more

ashen igloo
#

You could probably part it out and get maybe 4 to $500

fallow kiln
#

but no use sadfishing

jaunty compass
fallow kiln
#

actually guys it looks like the pc goes up to windows 8.1

ashen igloo
#

It's EOL

fallow kiln
#

but that probably isn't much better than what i have now

ashen igloo
#

Stop looking for shortcuts

fallow kiln
#

i know i was just trying to save money if i could do a small update like that but pretty sure i cant

ashen igloo
#

TG2 just gave you the answer

fallow kiln
ashen igloo
#

Yes

fallow kiln
#

but it doesn't have a graphics?

jaunty compass
#

that's what the used 5700 xt on ebay is for

ashen igloo
#

You don't listen very well

fallow kiln
#

im just confused

jaunty compass
#

if you want a new gpu, grab a rx 6600

fallow kiln
#

and the motherboard looks weird

#

but i dont know if its just how it looks now

jaunty compass
#

that's micro atx

fallow kiln
#

but it doesnt matter?

ashen igloo
#

For you it does not

fallow kiln
#

if i change the case to micro atx

jaunty compass
#

that doesn't really matter, as long as the case fits the board

fallow kiln
#

yea if i put that motherboard i'll need a new case anyway

#

the motherboard i have now looks like its a lot taller

jaunty compass
#

you definitely won't

#

Micro atx boards fit in atx cases

fallow kiln
#

Oh

#

i'm using a msi xpower right now

#

i like my case acutally so i could put a new motherboard in this case?

jaunty compass
#

yeah, you can

fallow kiln
#

im sorry that i ask like this

#

but the screws that clamp the motherboard are those going to be in the same locations?

#

the motherbard you sent is wider and shorter

#

the one i have is like taller and thin

jaunty compass
#

it won't matter

fallow kiln
#

MSI Z87 XPower AC

#

its not micro that one

jaunty compass
#

it won't matter

fallow kiln
#

ok understood

#

im gonna buy that then

jaunty compass
#

every atx case i've seen has alternate mounting holes for micro atx boards

#

buy that and either a rx 6600 (if you want a new card) or a rx 5700 xt on ebay if you're fine with used

fallow kiln
#

can I put my old cpu in the new motherboard?

jaunty compass
#

no

fallow kiln
#

and then put a new gpu in

jaunty compass
#

they're not even the same socket

fallow kiln
#

I wanna get a really good gpu that lasts a long time u know

#

but i don't have too much money to throw at what it costs

jaunty compass
#

high end gpus are like over 1k usd right now

#

trust me, just go mid to low range cards right now, a rx 6600 xt or rx 6600 is fine

fallow kiln
#

yeah

#

i was looking at gtx1050ti

#

$500

#

or Rx 6700 xt

#

but I don't know if i should take amd over nvidia or what

jaunty compass
#

the 1050 ti is not a good card anymore; do not buy one

fallow kiln
#

okay

#

Does amd update for longer than nvidia?

jaunty compass
#

a 6700 xt is multiple times faster

elfin jetty
#

I got my 3060ti for like 600ish

jaunty compass
#

that's awful

elfin jetty
#

usd

jaunty compass
#

that's a really bad price for a 3060 ti

elfin jetty
#

it wasnt back when i bought it

jaunty compass
#

you got fucked by the scalpers?

elfin jetty
#

plus its a ventus x3 oc

#

so not terrible

jaunty compass
#

that's still terrible lol

#

you got fucked by scalpers

fallow kiln
#

is Ryzen better than Intel too?

jaunty compass
#

Ryzen 5000 is quite good but which is "better" depends on which cpu and product

fallow kiln
#

Is it possible to get a list of things that cause my pc to be unupdatable?

#

maybe i could upgrade in pieces so its cheaper

jaunty compass
#

it doesn't work that way

fallow kiln
#

i looked it up and my cpu works with windows 10

#

but i don't think the graphics card and motherboard does

timid meadow
jaunty compass
#

all of your stuff supports windows 10, you just have to update it manually

fallow kiln
#

and thats too much?

#

so not worth it or something like that

jaunty compass
#

just put windows 10 on a usb and install it?

fallow kiln
#

the guy before said thats too hard and not worth it

#

the pc doesn't support it

jaunty compass
#

that guy is

wrong

timid meadow
#

Always clean install, never use windows upgrade

jaunty compass
#

you're on z87, you can install windows 10 dude

fallow kiln
timid meadow
fallow kiln
#

i tried using microsoft website but it says i need windows 7 to do that

timid meadow
#

So lets clerify here. Old as in win7 is installed?

fallow kiln
#

When i only have windows xp pro x64

jaunty compass
#

download a program called rufus and an iso for windows 10

fallow kiln
#

Windows XP Professional X64

timid meadow
#

Oh your on xp wtf

fallow kiln
#

my pc is 10 years old

timid meadow
#

You probably need another working pc to make a windows usb

fallow kiln
#

dont have anything like that

jaunty compass
#

just download the iso online

#

you don't need their tool

fallow kiln
timid meadow
fallow kiln
#

it lets me download iso

#

and also would windows 10 slow my pc down a lot? because its working for what i do play league of legends and watch youtube/twitch

jaunty compass
#

download the iso and flash it on a flash drive with a program to make a bootable usb

#

your pc will run fine as long as you have a ssd

ashen igloo
#

I've already told you twice now you can't install Windows 10 on that PC

timid meadow
ashen igloo
#

How? You have to have security that's built into the hardware

jaunty compass
fallow kiln
#

i dont know

fallow kiln
#

The last successful update was on November 2013 it says

#

and when i press search it just searches endlessly

#

and Msi center says wireless update is not supported

timid meadow
#

You get a working pc, use it to install windows to a usb, then clean install to new/current whatever

fallow kiln
#

could i buy a windows or doesn't work like that?

#

i think thats how i did it the last time i can send a picture f what I have

timid meadow
#

Yes, but you still need a way to make the usb

fallow kiln
#

MSI XPower Windows 8.1 Utility

#

is that windows or something else

timid meadow
#

Although im honestly suprised windows hasnt tried to add a "buy and install" to bios by now lmao.

jaunty compass
#

imagine buying windows lol

fallow kiln
#

but i don't think its newer than 2015 so its probably not windows 10?

timid meadow
fallow kiln
#

ok

jaunty compass
#

dude
computers from before windows 10 can run windows 10

#

people have ran windows 10 on a pentium 4 system before

#

without that much issue other than the pentium 4 being slow

fallow kiln
#

Can I just buy a windows 10 disc?

jaunty compass
#

and instruction sets being missing for games and stuff but that's a different issue

timid meadow
#

Hell, make your life 10x easier and just buy a win10 usb off ebay at this point. Probably wont be active but ive done it before

timid meadow
jaunty compass
#

don't pay for windows 💀

timid meadow
timid meadow
jaunty compass

I still use the usb mine came on. Better then i expected for what i paid

fallow kiln
#

and guys i know i asked once

#

would this slow my pc down?

jaunty compass
timid meadow
jaunty compass
#

you'll have way better support for games on windows 10

#

and be able to actually use steam

fallow kiln
#

someone before literally just told me my pc can't support windows 10

jaunty compass
#

they're wrong

fallow kiln
#

so i wasnt sure

runic lagoon
#

I heard the latest vertion of windows 11 has better support for 8k polling mice/keyboards.
But I'm not upgrading yet. 🤣

fallow kiln
#

so im just gonna buy windows 10 on ebay then

with usb lol

oh

what if i have a filter for the rad?

timid meadow
#

Youd have to get the rad to bare metal. Youd need a sandblaster probably to get in all the fins

minor rivet
#

wait so if i put my radiator inside water(without fishes this time) ill have more performance than just normal air right?

timid meadow
minor rivet
#

for the water?

#

nah

#

its passively cooling

timid meadow
#

The reason rads work is because they spread out the water then blow on it like you would hot food

minor rivet
#

a lil maybe

#

ee

#

i got another dumb idea

#

ill fill a tank full or distilled water

timid meadow

and build a pc inside it withoud the cooler

thermoelectric cooling

the funny thing, is the heat has to go somewhere. so you ushally still end up needing a fan, and heat sink.

To quote LLT "DPI doesn't matter, so buy what ever mouse you like."

they don't test sensor for accuracy, drift, latancy.
they don't test button latancy.
they don't test Hz.
they don't compare weights.
they don't compare features.

So to them a razer viper 8k and a starlight are the same. Even though the starlight has 25%+ over shot and razer only 5% over shot. Or the starlight have 20% drift while the 8k has 8% dirft.

Or you know use your 10 year old mouse that has like 250 MS of latacny, while a good modern mouse willl have less then 1MS of latancy.

neon mesa
#

I don't see the point of shit high dps

#

My G102 can do 8k and i only use 800, sometimes 1600

#

Low dpi high sens feels better

smoky swan
#

how much should a 3080 second hand cost now

runic lagoon
# neon mesa I don't see the point of shit high dps

most mice have a DPS they perform best at. older mice that tends to be 400 DPI, some of the newer mice that's more like 1600 DPI . so ushally you want it at the optimal DPI. you can ajust sensitivty to make it feel like your old mouse.

IE 400 DPI with a multiplier of 2, is the same as 400 DPI with a multiplier of 1. (but you have to know what setting in windows is what multipler, and in game use the right math to get the right ajustments)

Sometimes i drop down to 400 to get that aim right

manic torrent

I just assign DPI Up and Down on my two side button

With the G-shift button

runic lagoon
#

there ways you can bind sensitivty to wepons. So you don't have to mess with that. But if it works for you. 👍🏻

neon mesa
#

Bind sensitivity to weapon? I guess it's a specific feature from a game?

#

No such thing on the game i play

#

I don't really play mainstream FPS like val/cod, they're sweaty

smoky swan
#

is a laptop 3060 to a pc 3080 a good upgrade

neon mesa

is there a thread for using tech/electronics as passive income?

#

ive heard of people programming FPGAs for stock trading or setting up some Ai system to trade for ya.

#

outside of this, using a server to host websites for people, using server as online storage, and im not sure what else (idk if mining is a thing anymore)

manic torrent
#

no, and in general people who want to do this are insufferable

neon mesa
#

You would need a lot of servers for hosting websites to be actually profitable

manic torrent
#

raid is not backup, correct.

ruby talon
#

yeah i thought so, seems like real estate is probably the best bet

neon mesa
#

RAID 1 is technically backuping
Just not an offsite one

manic torrent
#

no

neon mesa
#

You're making an exact copy on a second drive

#

That's literally what backuping is

manic torrent
#

not. a. backup.

ruby talon
#

I do understand that you CAN use hardware electronics/computers to make up some kind of service as an income

neon mesa
#

Is your definition of a backup sending a drive to space? linus

ruby talon
#

but might need a huge investment upfront. Can't really make a decent profit off of just your desktop pc.

#

another thing I can think of, PC cafe running off virtual machines, you'll need a pretty good fuckin server and network setup tho... =\

#

seems like people are making income off of youtube videos nowadays.

manic torrent
#

If you plug in a drive, attach it as raid1, then remove it? sure, it's a backup.

#

everything has been done before.

#

RAID over USB floppies has been done.

#

The question doesn't really make sense

ruby talon
#

is there a vc in this discord?

manic torrent

fluid ridge
#

is there a point to raid

neon mesa
#

Redundancy

fluid ridge
#

is there a point to redundancy

neon mesa
#

Not losing your data when a single drive faild

fluid ridge
#

if your files are that important perhaps they shouldn't be on HDDs at all

manic torrent
fluid ridge
#

why so mad

manic torrent
fluid ridge
#

sounds like you need to take a look in the mirror

#

maybe we both are

manic torrent
#

so it's impossible to tell if you're asking a stupid question because you genuinely don't know, or you are trying to be clever and think you're funny, or both.

fluid ridge
#

if you want to protect your files, use an SSD and have it up in a cloud storage provider as well

neon mesa
#

When you're a file hosting service
Every file is important

ruby talon
#

no wonder vc isnt enabled lmao

fluid ridge
#

oh

neon mesa
#

And you can't use all SSDs for servers

fluid ridge
#

well that's different, obviously if you have different people's files acting as a cloud provider

neon mesa
#

Or if you're a company hosting shit ton of important company data

#

You can't have it all on SSDs they're pricy

fluid ridge
#

but for everyone else using an HDD for critical files is probably not the smartest idea

fluid ridge
neon mesa
#

I mean don't need to be a mega corporate. Look at linus

#

His servers are mostly HDDs

fluid ridge
#

eh, but that usage is mostly archival iirc

#

IDK

#

the point i am trying to make is that HDDs are the worst if you're trying to ensure file integrity

neon mesa
#

Enterprise HDDs are extremely reliable

fluid ridge
#

id imagine they are also extremely expensive

neon mesa
#

And with RAID it's even better

heady flicker
#

very affordable compared to SSDs

neon mesa
#

Not as expensive as enterprise SSDs

heady flicker
#

like $120 for 8tb

#

so $480 for raid 6

neon mesa
#

Then there are data density

fluid ridge
#

for me it's 210 for a 4tb hdd (enterprise)

neon mesa
#

You can fit a lot more data with the same amount of SATA Connectors with HDDs

indigo plume
#

got the s23 ultra didnt relize how heavy this phone was gunna be

heady flicker
#

it'll have at least 4. most recent boards have 6 or even 8

#

#

so what does google use for youtube

#

i just did a bunch of googling and it's all quora

heady flicker
#

you can try sending them a dm on twitter ¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

not that they'll know

neon mesa
#

Google servers use HDDs

heady flicker
#

completely different person behind the desk

heady flicker
#

no way even google could fill all their data with ssd

#

it'll be such a waste

neon mesa
#

Oh and in big servers
Parallel output of bunch of HDDs is often better than SSDs

fluid ridge
#

so what brand of HDD do they use

#

i will be purchasing exclusively whatever google buys

neon mesa

Probably seagate exos

heady flicker

#

I'll take 16:10 2.5k 120hz oled any day

#

bonus points if it has a usable osd and has cable management ports

manic torrent

4k 120hz oled is fine

neon mesa

Just get another monitor

gilded quest

#

Soo the "450w" could very well mean 200w continuous

minor rivet
#

i have a doubt

#

if a gpu is rated for a specific wattage

#

it will not draw more than that?

#

for instance a gpu is rated 200W then will it only draw less than 200 or 200W?

graceful burrow

my cpu is rated 65w but pulls 110w
