[tired hawk]

can someone ask ace the case model he has me blocked :(

[random gyro]

nah I just have alot saved and im entering a peak season for my degree

[latent pasture]

thats klike $400 in ddr5

unless u want garbage speed like 3600mhz

[random gyro]

well like

[latent pasture]

which defeats the point of the faster ram

[brazen glen]

are you losing very large amounts of time to renders?

[random gyro]

is 64gb worth of ddr5 with 128gb speed

Yes

[brazen glen]

how much money are you willing to spend to fix this problem?

[tired hawk]

ace what's the case model???????? PLEASE

[brazen glen]

that's where you are right now lol

[tired hawk]

GOSH PLEASE 🥺

[latent pasture]

just keep using ur current system until its bad
then move on to a new platform when u can afford it
13700k is still good for everything

[tired hawk]

just tell me the case model

[random gyro]

how much would it be

IM thinking the gpu is what ill upgrade

either a swap to a 4090 if it drops or a 5080 if I can snag a founders

[latent pasture]

just upgrade the gpu lol u dont need to touch the cpu

[tired hawk]

ig I won't know the case model 😭

[brazen glen]

a 3090 has 24 gigs of vram

or is that the ti

[empty quartz]

I dont know the model

[random gyro]

yea

[tired hawk]

oh ok

[random gyro]

If I have to touch that aio cooler again I will die

[brazen glen]

get the 4090, do not lose 8 gigs of vram lol

[random gyro]

putting it on was ass I walked into work the next day after making it with hands that looked like theyd been in a warzone

ill luckily be good on storage

I have 3tb of nvme ssd

[midnight meteor]

If I am testing my cpu and PC and neither are hitting power limits or thermal limits do I need to use a better tester?

[random gyro]

perform the toaster test

if it can power a toaster it has enough

[latent pasture]

what cpu, cpu cooler, and app r u using

[brazen glen]

cool tape

[latent pasture]

some motherboards ask/detect that if u have air cooler, itll do reduced power limits

but them u can just go back in bios and change that

[midnight meteor]

I am using online testers Silver and matthewx83, as for cpu, 7700x and cpu cooler a DeepCool 2 fan 2 heatsink configuration

[warm hinge]

My motherboard is actually an MSI

[latent pasture]

wtf is that test

[brazen glen]

man just typed "cpu test" into google and clicked whatever he saw

[latent pasture]

well right from the get go a 7700x wont throttle on a 2tower air cooler

[midnight meteor]

matthew-x83 for the gpu and Silver bench for cpu

[brazen glen]

run cinebench r24

go wild

[midnight meteor]

I didn't wanna redownload passmark

[latent pasture]

online tests will never stress ur parts
cuz theyll be dinging thru the browser instead

[brazen glen]

my 7700x doesn't throttle on a single tower thermalright cooler lol, it's so funny

[warm hinge]

I wonder if I should run Passmark on both my custom build and my Razer Blade

[midnight meteor]

sure ig, whats' the proper site to get it from cause I see a couple

[brazen glen]

maxon?

[midnight meteor]

okay ty

[warm hinge]

Maybe I should use Cinebench and Passmark and see how my PC performs

[midnight meteor]

Mostly trying to test if it's worth removing the front screen from my case

[brazen glen]

someone got unpersoned

rip that guy

[sturdy thistle]

Do usb extension cables create latency or no?

[rapid quarry]

If they do, it is so little that losing the match will still be your fault.

[sturdy thistle]

Ok cuz it’s near impossible to plug something into the back of my pc

[latent pasture]

wat clownery mouse product gave u 1 foot cable or smthn

[sturdy thistle]

Logitech g305 wirlesss

[whole garden]

Yes, but I doubt you’ll notice it

[swift moss]

dont you love to see a 2.5gbe card running at 1000/1000

[sturdy thistle]

Rip

What do you need a 2.5gb card for?

[latent pasture]

then whats wrong with plugging in the back, is ur pc like super far away

[glad fog]

so

i think my pch fan being blocked by the gpu is causing much of the noise

[quick hamlet]

what do u guys do when u are alone at night with nothing to do

[swift moss]

connection to server and my switch?

[sturdy thistle]

Ah gotcha

[sturdy thistle]

It’s not for my mouse, it’s for my keyboard

Cuz my mom doesn’t like it when my keyboard and mouse are on my desk

[whole garden]

I either study, go to bed, or watch something

[sturdy thistle]

And it’s really annoying plugging in and unplugging it from the back of the pc cuz of how big the case is

So extension cable

Note: keyboard is Logitech g815

[main estuary]

Im looking at improving my audio setup, I have a blue yeti that i want to be able to use on my ps5 and pc at the same time. Is there anyway to have the audio and microphone work on both at the same time?

[latent pasture]

is the option to grow up possible

[warm hinge]

I do the same thing too

[sturdy thistle]

Trying my best

[warm hinge]

Logitech is good but I prefer Razer

[sturdy thistle]

Keyboard was a gift

[warm hinge]

Oh that’s nice

[latent pasture]

tell them that the thing you use to control the pc goes in front of the pc

[sturdy thistle]

Can’t I just use the 1 foot usb extension that my mouse came with instead?

[glad fog]

i dont know who invented

these pch fans

who had the idea

[whole garden]

Yes

[sturdy thistle]

Ok then

Problem solved

[surreal orbit]

Has anyone seen the RTX 5090 Preorder On Amazon US?

[midnight meteor]

Cinebench preparing takes a lot longer than I thought it would

[drowsy flame]

What is funny?

Currently overclocking my girlfriends gpu

[drowsy flame]

$3,849 US? Sounds about right

[peak knot]

i like my 7980xe

[surreal orbit]

Unfortunately, a couple of my Suppliers I have talked with say preorders in bulk are $3000 US. Whatever happened to $2000 MSP? So when the scalpers get it, then what's $6000 for an RTX 5090?

[drowsy flame]

Founders editions are supposed to be $1,999 but who knows what AIB’s will be

[south arrow]

Keks note the rumor part though

[drowsy flame]

I’m just hoping scalpers ignore the 5070ti long enough for me to get one

[devout sparrow]

the real question is that going to lower the pricing of 3xxx and 4xxx cards

new and used

[drowsy flame]

Hopefully. If I can’t get a 5070ti at least I might be able to get a 4080 super

[devout sparrow]

im just debating if 192gb of ram is worth it vs 128gb of ram in cost and effort

[drowsy flame]

Do you think you’ll need that much?

[devout sparrow]

adobe after effects is filling 54gb of ram when i use it

[drowsy flame]

The difference between 128 and 192 is large in gigabytes but in terms of what you can do with it there’s diminishing returns

[devout sparrow]

and i do often have photoshop and animate cc open too......

[drowsy flame]

I mean, what’s the price difference between 128 and 192

[devout sparrow]

that last 64gb has a item that i didn't count on too

[drowsy flame]

Also does your motherboard even support 192

Some lower end boards only support 128

[devout sparrow]

192gb is about 600, i can support 192 per the manual for the board

[drowsy flame]

What about the cpu?

Memory controller is also a factor

[devout sparrow]

intel 13700

[drowsy flame]

13700 supports up to 192 ddr5

[devout sparrow]

the 128 option has two paths i can go too, not sure if theirs any benfit or negative to them

[drowsy flame]

So now that we know you can, the question is, should you

[devout sparrow]

i already got 4x16gb in here and debating swapping 2 of them for 48gb modules

[left palm]

umm
i gotta ask
the psu I bought just now is a 12vhpwr
should I just return and buy smth with a 12v-2x6

[drowsy flame]

Mixing memory is a bad idea, best to keep with all the same for stability reasons

[latent pasture]

no

[drowsy flame]

Sometimes it’s not an issue but sometimes it is

[devout sparrow]

i would match the speeds/brand of the ram thats in here if i go that route

i have to look and see what a 4x32gb kit costs vs selling the 64gb

The other factor thats making me not bother with the last 64gb is that i'd also have to upgrade windows to pro to use all that ram

[drowsy flame]

Even within the same brand of ram you might run into situations where they had to use different chip suppliers for whatever reason. Even within the same SKU a manufacturer could decide to switch to micron from sk hynix or any other chip supplier.

[devout sparrow]

retail keys for pro make the last 64gb of ram expensive

lowest price i seen for a non shady license was 159 dollars

aka grey market

[drowsy flame]

Personally I’d say get all the same sticks and same capacity at the same time from the same retailer so they likely came from the same batch and have matching chips

[devout sparrow]

its not that hard to sell 64gb of ram and likely not lose much on it

i purchased it as 2 kits and still have the packaging from 2 kits so its not that i have to sell them as a unit at least

[gritty grove]

I don't know if it's just me but if I didn't want it to have access, I wouldn't have plugged it in right?

Is Windows just stupid?

And when I click it to allow it, it's already allowed.

[devout sparrow]

i also may need to ask in a adobe after effects group why its not using disk cache......

[gritty grove]

So I think Windows may actually be stupid and this cannot be a user error

[devout sparrow]

do youhave any video capture boxes, that can trigger that box about the mic too

[gritty grove]

IDK what that means

[devout sparrow]

like hardware for game capture or screen capture

[gritty grove]

Nothing like that no

[devout sparrow]

not sure, i have 2 avermedia bolt 4k boxes and a live gamer 4k for extermal media here and oh that can be fun

[left palm]

should I return my seasonic GX 1200?
it still has the 12vhpwr

when most of the new ones got the 12-2x6

[gritty grove]

What's wrong with 12vhpwr?

[left palm]

will the 5090 have melting issues with the 12vhpwr?

[devout sparrow]

shouldn that also have the 12-2x6 too

[left palm]

yeah but I don't think they ever shipped out the new batches

their box still has the 12vhpwr

[devout sparrow]

Seems odd they would have none on the power supply.

[steel umbra]

price?

[left palm]

$229.99

bought from a local store

wwell they have 5 branches or smth but still

[steel umbra]

overpriced if you live in the us

[devout sparrow]

im wondering if they owe you a cable?

[steel umbra]

i’d just return it for that reason

[left palm]

I had to buy the whole pc build excluding the gpu in order to get the 9800x3d at msrp
I could go return it

[devout sparrow]

it should also have 3 6+2 pcie on it too

[left palm]

the CL1200 would be a replacement for it
but they dont sleeve their cables neatly 😔

[light spear]

anyone got experience with system76 laptops or have any thoughts about them?

[devout sparrow]

if you don't see the pcie cables, try emailing or calling them and see if they send you your missing cable....

they often will to avoid a return

[left palm]

I havent open the box yet

but I dont think its just the cable

[devout sparrow]

i mean my ancient 750watt powerspec power supply had 4 of them

its been in 2 systems now and well, i KNOW my system does not need a bigger one

i have a 3500 watt solar array and the pc uses it as a ups, the room isn't drawing 1200 watts let alone the pc

[left palm]

imma just email seasonic first to see how they respond

[devout sparrow]

smiles the solar array is a VERY extended run ups

it uses 8 100 ah marine batteries

what are you running to need 1200 watts?

[dawn tundra]

my wallet just flashed before my eyes
holy shit
fn 200 bpm moment
i was using msi aft and i accidentally set the oc to 2k% and i watched it have an aneurism(big $$$ oopsie) but luckily my pc has a reset button

[devout sparrow]

put a turbo button on it too:)

[dawn tundra]

its a bult in feature

also im nort smord

[devout sparrow]

if your new pc has a turbo button, its a retro build

[dawn tundra]

https://tenor.com/view/smooth-brain-gif-13983164398694002589

[dawn tundra]

ah yes

[devout sparrow]

that would a fun sleeper pc case

[dawn tundra]

FACTS

[devout sparrow]

can i get a 3 digit display with a decimal point

[dawn tundra]

non't

no-int

no + not = yes

[devout sparrow]

i don't think todays pcs need a mhz count on the front like that

[dawn tundra]

i literaly watched my screen have random color squares pop up when it started to die

i died inside

[devout sparrow]

you want a rifa cap smoking, thats dieing inside

[dawn tundra]

can i show u smth by screensharing?

[devout sparrow]

its unlikely in new systems, but vintage tech...yes that can happen

[dawn tundra]

mmm transformer roasted hands

[devout sparrow]

if the gpu is unstable, you should just be able to set it lower or sometimes they got a reset i recall for failed ocs

[dawn tundra]

ye

i have the setings reset every shtdwn

[devout sparrow]

lather rinse repeat switch

[dawn tundra]

just in case

[devout sparrow]

i love the youtuber who failed to replace his rifa caps and it smoked while playing oregon trail

[dawn tundra]

so i can go +300 a

[feral kite]

is it just me or does this seem a little bit big?

[dawn tundra]

huh

[feral kite]

my pagefile is 84gb

[dawn tundra]

viroos?

[devout sparrow]

what are you running?

[feral kite]

wdym

specs?

[devout sparrow]

what software is running, the only app i have that does that is adobe after effects

[dawn tundra]

i have my case fans at 100% js in case

[devout sparrow]

get out the floor drying fans from LTT

[dawn tundra]

wait

[devout sparrow]

it litgerally blew the side off the pc case i recall had needed duct taping

[feral kite]

chrome discord rainmeter treesize and wallpaper engine

[dawn tundra]

i have some old cpap fans they are rlly quiet and the fins are kinda like incased

[devout sparrow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=EM2G5vLGcQQ

im not sure needing 20 amps at 120 volts for pc cooling is energy practical though

[dawn tundra]

yea lol

[devout sparrow]

don't need a sound system either it looked like

[woven crag]

So I’m going with the prebuilt route it’s cheaper so I’m wondering so the prebuilt I’m looking at has a gigabyte 4070 TI Super but I found a great deal on a 4090 is it worth switching the 4070 Ti Super to a 4090?

[dawn tundra]

yYES

[dawn tundra]

leme show u

[tired hawk]

prebuilts is not cheaper

[junior valve]

no , save up abit more for a 5090

[tired hawk]

building it yourself is cheaper

[junior valve]

not everyone likes building pcs

[tired hawk]

just pay someone to do so

prebuilts = scam

[junior valve]

thats about right

[tired hawk]

because you don't get the pieces and just get the pieces someone put in there

what if you need something but they put in something else

[dawn tundra]

what if

they tested evr gpu

on the sli loto

[tired hawk]

sli is no more after 40 series

[dawn tundra]

and changed the price acordingly

oh\

[tired hawk]

"oh" 😭😭😭

[dawn tundra]

fr

[junior valve]

blender still can use 2 gpus

[tired hawk]

but it's not sli

[dawn tundra]

its

[cinder crane]

Is there an app to check Bluetooth stability? Basically the same thing as a wifi channel scanner but for Bluetooth?

My wifi and my pc Bluetooth are conflicting and I need a way to measure the signal

[junior valve]

still using 2 gpu at one time

[dawn tundra]

its beatifull

[tired hawk]

but it's not sli

afterall sli good and if no sli then u bad and stink

also have you heard of the super mini power new Nintendo 23dsi switch lite light microxl dd ll e u boy virtual advance SP player OLED & knuckles color cube64 & watch entertainment system?

[dawn tundra]

what is the MAX you would buy a VERY lightly used (less than 4 months) 4060

tht works perfectly

[junior valve]

u need a 4090 for roblox nowdays

[vapid jewel]

damn nvidias stock went down by 600b in a day 😭

[dawn tundra]

dang\

[vapid jewel]

market cap i mean

[junior valve]

roblos pc

[teal sinew]

so optimal

[junior valve]

sometimes 50 fps in games tho

not even the golden 60

[dawn tundra]

house

[vapid jewel]

what specs

[dawn tundra]

fans #= yes

gpu= yes

ram= yes

[junior valve]

i3 10105f + gtx 980 ti

[tired hawk]

that's a lot of airflow

[vapid jewel]

ah yh the gtx 980 ti has a big text saying rtx on the side 🔥

[thorny saddle]

depends on the fans

[junior valve]

they r corsair

[thorny saddle]

corsair fans are avg

[junior valve]

what’s below avg?

[drowsy flame]

Am I gonna get yeeted for posting a meme in tech chat? 👀

[thorny saddle]

plenty of fans, but corsair are meh these days

[junior valve]

the ll120s spec said it can only do 1500rpm , but all of mine maxed out at 1700rpm

[gleaming rose]

what is UP tc1

[left palm]

@thorny saddle i bought the nova instead

[thorny saddle]

RPM is irrelevant

[left palm]

it was msrp

[junior valve]

maybe some examples?

[thorny saddle]

of what

[junior valve]

below avg fans

[thorny saddle]

you can find plenty lame fans

[junior valve]

id cooling?

[errant yoke]

Can someone help me

[drowsy flame]

CFM is the better way to judge a cooler/fans but also CFM per Decibel of noise to get the best performance while not sounding like a 737

[frail delta]

End me now

[errant yoke]

No display CPU fan spinning I need help pls

[south arrow]

Not if in decent taste and not every minute the occasional meme is fine

[drowsy flame]

Probably not tbh

[south arrow]

Some myte bark at ya but dont letem get to ya

[errant yoke]

I’m wondering if this is the problem

[errant yoke]

And gpu fans aren’t spinning

[drowsy flame]

Sounds like dead gpu

[errant yoke]

No

[lapis condor]

Shove the connector in a bit more
Ensure the CPU power cable is connected (top left of motherboard)

[errant yoke]

It has blue light which indicates it’s working normally

[errant yoke]

Bro I can’t

[lapis condor]

Wiggle the 24 pin around because the cable might've gone bad anyway

[drowsy flame]

At least the ram is installed in the correct slots though

[south arrow]

My service wont let me watch the vid for some reason rn

[marble cloud]

5$ just got me 26 case fans off marketplace

[south arrow]

If even 1 work thats crazy ggs

[marble cloud]

All of them worked fine

I also got this from the guy for 15$

Working fx 6300 and board

[lapis condor]

I wish noiseblockers nb-eloops were actually good

[lapis condor]

Hey you got it for about what it was worth at least

[errant yoke]

to

[south arrow]

Very nice heck yeah we take all the wins

[junior valve]

the 6 corsair sp120 can be resell for 50$

[marble cloud]

He gave me a 450psu, case, and r9 390 for 20$ too im selling those tho

[junior valve]

only the corsair , rog , cooler master are somewhat valuable

[marble cloud]

Basically a full pc for 40$

Minus storage and ram

[sleek remnant]

i just moved pc downstair 😭

[marble cloud]

The other white stack is Asia horse fans

Which is 50.99 brand new

So like 30$ of resale value

[junior valve]

no one is buying small brand fans

[junior valve]

90% of buyer only like corsair , coolermaster, lian li

[marble cloud]

You would be surprised

Florida marketplace has MONEY

the rich ppl just buy it because they can

[errant yoke]

Someone lmk

[junior valve]

cheap fans just look weird tbh

[devout sparrow]

forgot one whesss, noctua

30 bucks a fan

[junior valve]

they arent rgb

[devout sparrow]

they tend to go more twords brown or black,oops

[peak knot]

Bequiet and noctua also

[junior valve]

yea big brands etc

[devout sparrow]

they are very quiet however adn some cases that makes sense to build a pc to do

[junior valve]

noctua @devout sparrow

[south arrow]

I feel attacked i only have these 3 brands xD

[devout sparrow]

i have 4 of those in my 4u rack mount pc case

[junior valve]

same

[devout sparrow]

i do some minor youtube videos with voiceovers and love you can't HEAR my pc in those

[junior valve]

corsair tower + one noctua

[peak knot]

I had so many bequiet 140mm lightwings left over I was as able to trade some of them for overclocking materials

[devout sparrow]

i've left it with all the fans at 100% and forgot the thing was on

[lapis condor]

I want next gen noctua 120s already

[junior valve]

they look weird

[peak knot]

I still have a ton of bequiet fans

[junior valve]

they dont sell or smt?

[peak knot]

No bequiet gave them to me

[devout sparrow]

the gpu is a triple fan asus 3060 and i suspect theirs no lack of cooling in the pc case

[junior valve]

oh yea , the signalrgb screen

[peak knot]

Something like 20 140mm white lightwings after I worked with them

[devout sparrow]

my rack mount case uses 3x 120mm front fans and theirs a option for a back one but it seems unneeded

[peak knot]

They sent spares to build the wall with and I did destroy a couple in building it, but yeah I had a lot left and they said they didn’t want em back

So I’ve still got like 10 laying around

I traded 6 for some x58 evga stuff

[devout sparrow]

the deadmou5 pc fan wall?

[junior valve]

led died after 8 years , 1/10 unreliable fan

[peak knot]

Bequiet/SignalRGB fan wall

daft punk i recall had more lights

[peak knot]

This isn’t a pre-rendered wall

[devout sparrow]

ah

[peak knot]

It’s a monitor screen made of fans

[devout sparrow]

its certainly possible

[peak knot]

I know it’s possible, I built it lol

[devout sparrow]

have you seen how big a pixel is on a jumbotron?

[junior valve]

gooner app

[devout sparrow]

the led ones i recall are like 1-2 inches in size

[terse meadow]

does anyone know if I can plug a 6 + 2 cable into a 6 cable and just not plug in the 2 cable?

[devout sparrow]

yes, the black part isn't used

[peak knot]

Pretty sure this is a rule 5 violation

[terse meadow]

or anywhere I could find a 8 pin pcie to 2 6 pin pcie (2 6 pinb pcie male)

[devout sparrow]

it separates

[peak knot]

Yes 6+2 is normal 8 pin so you can do that

[devout sparrow]

for six pins most you can slide a part off to make a six

[errant yoke]

Is this bad

[peak knot]

What the ram?

[errant yoke]

Yuh

[peak knot]

No that’s proper

[errant yoke]

They’re facing different ways

[terse meadow]

im using an old graphics card that requires 2 6 pin connectors

[peak knot]

As long as it is fully inserted the heatsink doesn’t matter

[terse meadow]

ok sweet

[glad marsh]

Anyone have any idea how to trick steam into installing a game into a different directory, even if said game is already installed somewhere else?

[errant yoke]

How do i find the problem? My pf isn’t posting

[lapis condor]

I like how the blades look

[errant yoke]

Pc

[peak knot]

Yeah I’ve got GPUs that also are 8+8+6 pin

[devout sparrow]

my pc is a horror show but its also a rack mount machine so cable management....isn't a big deal

[peak knot]

I mean is the ram fully seated?

[devout sparrow]

hint" do not buy a 15 inch depth rack mount pc when a 17 inch one also exists for the same model....

you will have regrets

[limpid ivy]

Glorious how much power does it pull?

[devout sparrow]

can't use more than 75 watts x 2= 150 watts

[peak knot]

I mean it’s a 780ti kingpin so it can pull over 1000W

[peak knot]

Yeah 8 pins can do up to 300W each

[limpid ivy]

Oh yea kingpin forgot lol

[terse meadow]

So should I pick up something like this?
https://www.ebay.com/itm/394531772291?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28&google_free_listing_action=view_item&srsltid=AfmBOorplnxD-9czdU_t61aBxND4iAs0BOAJRQve0CYVnIHxMqdGUd9Uxp0&gQT=0
(I need 3 of them, so buying in bulk like this helps)

[peak knot]

No

Get a psu that can properly supply the power you need

[devout sparrow]

1000w= room heater 🙂

[peak knot]

Not with my coolers

[plain cypress]

The point of XOCing isn't efficiency

[junior valve]

do they even make a nf a12x15 v2?

[lapis condor]

Not yet

It's currently in development

[junior valve]

should lauch in 2030

[peak knot]

[devout sparrow]

just put a 120/240 volt wall plug on the gpu pretty soon

[mint umbra]

So cuz of a china ai company nivida lost like 20% of their stock price today

[peak knot]

The very first kingpin gpu released was the 780ti kpe

[terse meadow]

I already bought the psu that has well over enough wattage

[peak knot]

What psu

And why do you need 3x 8 pin

If all it has is 6 pin

Cause math ain’t mathin

[junior valve]

this is as wide as a 4090 fe now days , idk why people are complaining how big gpus are today

[peak knot]

Yeah but it’s only a proper 2 slot card

Same size as a 2080ti fe

[junior valve]

why does slots matter since no one is doing sli

[errant yoke]

Pretty sure

Now the system randomly turned off

Power supply turned off a cpu fan

[frail delta]

My AI glasses finally arrived today

[carmine yew]

Temporary rename the folder it's in, so the launcher doesn't see it?

[glad marsh]

F:\SteamLibrary 1TB HDD\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition just make "Skyrim Special Edition Old" instead or something? 😛

[shrewd timber]

The Windows 11 thing

[left palm]

do I have to still install my motherboard drivers into a usb with the windows like what linus did 11 months ago?
my motherboard is a x870e nova

[tulip falcon]

Is the RX 7600 SWFT Better then then the Gigabyte GeForce 3060 12g oc

[carmine yew]

Yup

[glad marsh]

Didn't work :/

[elfin kindle]

Guys what would be a good cheap laptop for blender?, im not gonna do much, only modeling

[nimble drum]

Used MacBook Air with an M chip

[cedar hollow]

macbooks are not great at blender

they’re good at everything else except modeling generally

[fringe prairie]

certain engineering programs, gaming as well

but outside of those 3 theyre quite good

victus with 4050 or refurbed ideapad 5 pro with 4050 are some picks

[nimble drum]

Oh yeah if you live in the U.S., Best Buy sometimes have crazy deals on HP gaming laptop

[fringe prairie]

they had a fire sale on an m16 with a 4070M the other day

[wicked dew]

itself

[nimble drum]

I am waiting on a fire sale for the ROG zephyrus... really wanted oled for laptop...

[strong tendon]

How do I tell why my computer bluescreened

[left dove]

bluescreenview from nirsoft

but if windows didnt generate a dump file then uhh, event viewer? but good luck getting any detail out of that

[strong tendon]

im just wondering cause I was playing rust n it just randomly bluescreened

idk AMD has been like extremely unreliable lately

[left dove]

well, I gave you the info to find the tools you'll need to start your diagnostic journey, now it's on you.

[vivid pendant]

To see why it bluescrened with bluescreenveiwer you need the dump file

If it froze and didn't make a dump file that application is useless

[ashen tangle]

i have windows pro but i can get enterprise, why should iget it?

[glad marsh]

Does anyone have any ideas as to how I make steam think a game isn't installed, so I can install it again? Renaming the folder in steams directory doesn't work

[vivid pendant]

Take the game files out of the directory

Steam-steampapps-common, select the game, right click, cut

Paste the folder to desktop/ another location

I've done this a lot with some games I mod it always works

But that won't remove the save file as it stores those under steam-userdata

There's a long string of numbers on each folder and depending on the game it will store the files in a different folder

[fringe prairie]

if youre asking why, then you probably dont need it

[ashen tangle]

ok

but why dont i need it lol

[glad marsh]

Doing this so I can keep my own skyrim modlist intact and also use wabbajack for a different modlist, hopefully that'll work

[vivid pendant]

I am unsure if Nexus mod manager can be used for Skyrim

[fringe prairie]

just extra features made for businesses

[ashen tangle]

cool

[vivid pendant]

Personally I love Nexus mod manager cuz I can go in and you can create a profile for your mods and you can just turn off the profile if you want to play vanilla

[glad marsh]

I tried that but wabbajack wants a completely fresh and up to date install so

[vivid pendant]

That's fair

So just copy and move the files like that then

You can also try just renaming the folder and it probably won't find it

[formal sonnet]

Because most home users (and even small to medium business users) don't need the features that Enterprise offers. Also, you can't just "buy" an Enterprise license like you can a Home or Pro license.
https://www.xda-developers.com/windows-11-pro-vs-enterprise/

[glad marsh]

I tried that but steam still reads it as installed so

[vivid pendant]

Fair

You can try making a new folder in there and shoving it in that new folder

However it might be searching the common folder itself for the game files so that might not work

Moving it to outside there like on the desktop 100% should work

However I don't think that will move your save files They are probably located under user data for steam

[glad marsh]

Yeah as long as it's not near the steam folder it SHOULD be good I think

So move the install out of Steam and move the documents folder away from there, hopefully steam thinks it's gone, install it from steam and then run it and it SHOULD generate new document folders for it

[vivid pendant]

It should

[left dove]

iirc all steam looks for in a secondary library location is "steamLibrary" as a folder name and then it looks for the .vdf & .acf manifests

if it doesn't see the vdf it's like "well this isn't real"

[vivid pendant]

I believe that's true. I'm not entirely sure how steam looks for things thoe but that sounds about how my experience has been

[glad marsh]

I tried just making Skyrim Special Edition into Skyrim Special Edition OLD and that didn't work so

next step is to get it out of the steam directory haha

[left dove]

oh no are we downgrading fallout 4 or something

[cyan bay]

is this true?

[vivid pendant]

MSI suprim liquid 5090
Zotac infinity amp extreme 5090
Or Asus astral 5090

[glad marsh]

Much worse than that

[left dove]

astral is more pretty tbh

[vivid pendant]

I agree with that and I like how big and chunky it is

[cyan bay]

is this true guys?

[vivid pendant]

It runs as cool as the suprim liquid for the most part

[glad marsh]

So what I'm trying to accomplish is:

[left dove]

it could be, we don't know

[glad marsh]

I have a 550 custom modlist that I've used for years on Skyrim 1.6.353, however I want to try a Wabbajack modlist that requires a fresh clean up to date install of Skyrim, and I don't want to delete my old stuff. That's the dilemma

[left dove]

oh ok so

take your current modded skyrim folder and related userdata and just make mirrored copies of them outside of their actual location

add like, a 1 at the end of the file/folder name

and then you just reinstall

boom clean game instance

[glad marsh]

Copy them outside of their existing location then add a 1?

[left dove]

essentially copying them outside of the steamlibrary folder will keep them from being fucked with

then either reinstall or repair install, either way you'll get a clean copy of the game while retaining your old copy, and either will work, just depends on which folder you go into for the exe

BACK UP YOUR INIS

AND your save files, and the associated backups

because if you just go with new modding shit and not move/protect your original inis, you're going to break things and not know why, and it will suck, and you will hate yourself

[junior valve]

used rtx 4060 for 200$ good or bad deal?

[left dove]

bethesda rule is if you're running a new install, run the stock inis

[high elm]

surprisingly good

[glad marsh]

I tried changing the name of the skyrim install in steam already and it didn't make steam think it was uninstalled, would I not just cut/paste it somewhere else?

And then make a copy backup somewhere as well?

[junior valve]

maybe i can negotiate it down to 180

[left dove]

i did say to copy it out of the steamlibrary folder, and steam will continue to think it's fully installed because of the .acf manifest file telling steam "oh yeah it's all here my person"

[random gyro]

W game

[left dove]

and thats why you run a repair

to get the new clean game files

[shrewd ridge]

Wat are ur thoughts on Reflex 2

[left dove]

if you only copy it out, delete the whole original game folder in steamlibrary

[left dove]

I'd prefer it if you kept inquiries here & out of my dms

[glad marsh]

No worries, I'm just tired and trying to follow everything lmao

[left dove]

take the game folder in steamlibrary/common

cut/paste it out of steamlibrary entirely

after thats done, go into your user folder in windows, find your skyrim INIs, put them in a folder, and put that folder in the freshly pasted game folder

only after that, you go into steam, right click your game, go to properties, and verify integrity of installed files

you will get a clean game install, clean config files, etc

when you copy the game folder out, steam will still say that it is installed because it still sees the .acf manifest file

that is normal

[glad marsh]

I shouldn't need to rename anything if it's been pulled completely out of steams directory right

[left dove]

ye

[glad marsh]

Well this took an interesting turn, disk write error through steam now lol

This might be part of why cyberpunk was trying to patch earlier and it kept saying it was missing download files and had to restart.. good god

[shrewd ridge]

why uguys ignoring me

[junior valve]

why

[glad marsh]

windows firewall blocked it lmao, of course

[whole scroll]

I pulled the trigger on a Samsung ark today 😁

[fringe prairie]

massive monitor

[idle ether]

anyone know if a 24 pin connector W/ a phantom pin will work with a motherboard that doesn't have a phantom pin

[left dove]

yes

[idle ether]

tyty

[glad marsh]

Looks like we're all good, it worked - Switching back I assume I just reverse what I just did, take the new stuff out and put the old stuff in?

[arctic igloo]

lol this c ontroller jumped 10 bucks after a reccomendation in the ltt vid

[left dove]

ja, but you can also run either install just fine, even if one is outside the steamlib folder

[glad marsh]

I havne't opened Vortex yet, but I can probably open it and change it to point at the old files and it might work

[left dove]

ohhh you're using vortex

uhhhhh

[glad marsh]

Yeeeeaaaah I know

[left dove]

good luck?

[glad marsh]

lmao

[left dove]

even i don't run multi installs with vortex

[glad marsh]

Eh what could possibly go wrong

[quasi field]

Too small

[left dove]

crippling your mod db

tons of duplicate mod listings, version mismatches..

[glad marsh]

Okay but surely if we don't talk about it it won't happen right? smile

[left dove]

if you're using vortex use mod profiles/collections

then you dont have to have two different installs

its just different staging folders for the mods

you can just deactivate one collection and activate the other, essentially hot-swapping mods

[glad marsh]

I thought of that before you started helping me, but making a profile that had 0 mods and was a completely fresh start didn't solve the update problem, and also wasn't a clean skyrim install

[left dove]

idk, my person

[glad marsh]

Just wish me luck at this point lmao

[arctic igloo]

ooh i found something

[drowsy flame]

Still looking for a PC case for my build. Can’t decide and wondering if anyone has any suggestions. Looking for an M-ATX mini tower (I like small form factor but I am too indecisive to commit to ITX). Glass side panel is cool, fish tank is cool. I’m a fan of the Thermaltake View 170, Zalman P30, and the Okinos Aqua 5. Also considering the Montech XR.

[drowsy flame]

Howdy

[willow jolt]

Hi

[south arrow]

[willow jolt]

Im in such a dilemma rn do I go with a ryzen 5 5700 or ryzen 5 8400f? they both cost about the same

[left dove]

which one reportedly performs better

[limber nacelle]

5700nonX?

that's cezanne

[willow jolt]

non X

[willow jolt]

5700 does perform better i think

but my upgrade path is COOKED

[limber nacelle]

has half the l3 cache that the 5700x has

[limber nacelle]

doubt

[willow jolt]

so am5 or am4?

[limber nacelle]

get a 7400f or smth

[limber nacelle]

if ur still on am4, 5700x3d is fine

[left dove]

get an 18650

[willow jolt]

what in the balls is that

[left dove]

idk its something

[hallow cypress]

would a ryzen 7 5700x3d 32 gigabytes of ram and a rtx 3060 8gb be considered a low medium or high end pc?

[left dove]

medium

for a lot of people, that's high spec

[willow jolt]

im on intel 7th gen 💀💀🙏

[limber nacelle]

7400f then

if its out

[left dove]

my legs are cOLD

yet my arms are nOT and this is frustRATING

[limber nacelle]

get a blanket,?

[south arrow]

Be one with the burrito

[left dove]

I will burrito once the coffee wears off

probably in like 4 hours

[quasi field]

How’s my gpu?

[limber nacelle]

I'm just gonna wash the dishes then hit the sack

[limber nacelle]

I thought the 5090 wasn't out yet

[quasi field]

Hmm?

[south arrow]

XD

[limber nacelle]

am I tripping? looks like a 5090 to me

[willow jolt]

thats

bros flexing on us poor ppl

[quasi field]

You won’t believe how much it costed

[limber nacelle]

ITS COST YOU

cost is past tense

[south arrow]

Accosted

Come back wulfsss I did want to knowwww

Im Just playinn

[willow jolt]

js i realised going am5 is eating thru my 600$ budget

crazy shi

ive 90$ left for gpu

[left dove]

you could get lucky and get your gpu for $20 like i did

[willow jolt]

even gt710s sell for 30$ 😭🙏

how'd u get a 2080ti for a twenty

[willow jolt]

tiktok shop fr

[south arrow]

Had to be the homie hookups

[left dove]

streamer friend decommed their old encoder box that had two 2080tis, offered me one for shipping to replace my aging r9 390 so he could use it as a tax write-off to the tune of like, $800

[limber nacelle]

ohhhh smart

[left dove]

ikr?

[willow jolt]

W

[limber nacelle]

dual 2080ti encoding box is crayz tho

[left dove]

its stupid to brag about but I always enjoy telling that story

[south arrow]

A wins a win ❤️ 🐛

[limber nacelle]

like I use dual 2080tis but that's for rendering

Can I haz some basically free hardware?

[south arrow]

Only dooooom for youuu

[left dove]

nah this was like 4 years back

[south arrow]

[ocean axle]

For my wallet*

[left dove]

I don't think he's even streaming anymore I think he went full-tilt into property management & housing

[ocean axle]

I really don't like totaling up how much I've spent on my entire setup

[left dove]

Neither do I tbh

[sleek ibex]

https://tenor.com/view/awkward-kid-staring-idk-what-to-do-gif-5097323

[ocean axle]

Fair, but mine (almost certainly) has another zero

[left dove]

I wanna say everything on/attached to my desk, and peripheral accessories like networking & the tv, like $6500?

[ocean axle]

Oh, that's not even half of one of my machines

[left dove]

this is also including tools and whatnot

[sleek ibex]

I plea the 5th

[left dove]

so like, it's not impressive

[ocean axle]

I have more than that in SSDs on one machine

[left dove]

but everything I have does exactly what I want, so I'm happy

(also I pretty much exclusively shop on sales for tech stuff, I will rarely pay default MSRP if I can help it)

[limber nacelle]

real

[ocean axle]

I buy a lot of stuff 2nd hand

Or otherwise not at retail

[sleek ibex]

I'm a bit reckless

[ocean axle]

go on

[ashen kraken]

B-grade stuff can be real nice

[ocean axle]

Almost my entire rack is 2nd hand hardware

almost

[limber nacelle]

wheres the meshify photos

[ashen kraken]

Got a b-grade headset for 50% off, was brand new. Someone apparently returned it the same day and never used it

[sleek ibex]

There's a final package coming in today. Decided to do metal tubing because I love to torture myself

[limber nacelle]

sheesh respect the grind brotha

soft tubing already half killed me

[left dove]

metal tubing, now I'm curious

[limber nacelle]

cant imagine metal

[ocean axle]

Soft tubing is easy

[left dove]

WAIT COOL IDEA

ohhh i just had a smart

[limber nacelle]

my loop is so fucked

[ocean axle]

Last water cooled machine I did was mostly hardline, and then one soft run because hard lining it would have been impossible

[limber nacelle]

bass has seen the loop it's cursed and kinda fugly

[sleek ibex]

I've done enough hard-line builds so I'm a bit comfortable.

[left dove]

ok ok EPDM ran inside of copper tubing, said copper tubing carries 12v & gnd for the gpu and it's just short af little jump wires to the connectors, no long cable runs, metal tubing, gpu support, etc etc it's a win cubed

[ocean axle]

Show it

[limber nacelle]

the graphic cards being from different aibs made me do some really ooga booga things

[ocean axle]

I thought it would be worse than that

[left dove]

yeah tbh

when you said fugly I imagined mixed tubing and really lazy runs

[ocean axle]

Also, I forgot, it's got two soft runs

[sleek ibex]

Where it stands RN for me

[ocean axle]

You can see the shit done here for the two different GPUs

[left dove]

i mean the top cpu tubing is like 2mm too long but it looks fine

[vernal lotus]

Getting white vga light

[left dove]

SCREW YOUR M.2 IN FFS

holy shit wtf are you doing

[vernal lotus]

Bro idc abt that

I want to fix my white light bruh

[ocean axle]

Your mobo probably does

[left dove]

ok have fun with a dead drive if you bonk your pc

[vernal lotus]

I lost the screw to the m.2

[limber nacelle]

wait, is that the dual epycs?

[left dove]

you absolute dork.

you monstrous grapefruit

you enigmatic durian

secure your storage

[limber nacelle]

enigmatic durian is crazy

[ocean axle]

Dual 7351 there

[left dove]

I love my nonsense insults

[sleek ibex]

Define 7 XL?

[ocean axle]

Yes

[sleek ibex]

Ah I have the Meshify 2 XL, which is essentially the same case

[left dove]

you can buy a replacement kit for like, $4 on amazon

[rigid fjord]

i wake up to seeing this, someone knock me the fuck back out please

[left dove]

IKR

[vernal lotus]

Bro I will but how do I fix the white light,,

How am I gon order without a pc display

[rigid fjord]

you're fucking phone

[ocean axle]

Temporary or permanent?

[limber nacelle]

ahh

[vernal lotus]

Bro idc

I want to fix The white VGA light

After ile deal with it

[rigid fjord]

i take option 2

[left dove]

ok so first off, not a bro

second off, have you tried reseating it, is the monitor plugged into the gpu and NOT the motherboard, are the power cables properly connected at both ends, and have you tried a cmos reset

[vernal lotus]

Should I use u seperate pcie connectors?

[ocean axle]

I've had a good handful of epyc systems sooooo

[jagged rain]

Guys what card could this be

[vernal lotus]

Or can I use the dual ones connected to eachother?

[left dove]

whats your gpu

[jagged rain]

What card could this be

[vernal lotus]

3700

3070*

[left dove]

oh yeah you can use the pigtails

[vernal lotus]

Alr

Ile try re seating it

[limber nacelle]

thought it was the one that ended going to my friend

[left dove]

please get screws for your m.2 though it's literally causing me pain thinking about it

[rigid fjord]

woulda been fun seeing 2 different loops on this tbf

[limber nacelle]

I mean, the blocks are the same ones that went to him right?

[left dove]

like there is a very good reason why the standard calls for secure mounting

[ocean axle]

I mean, there are three rads

[ocean axle]

Those are the blocks, yes

[sleek ibex]

I could absolutely get a 240-L in the basement if I wanted to but ehhhhh..... 480 and a 360 in push/pull (both being Heatkiller L rads) looks nice and full but not to the point it looks obnoxious

[rigid fjord]

i get tha, it's the fact it's a dual cpu mobo with 2 gpu's, you could have gone wilder with it

[arctic igloo]

https://youtu.be/iibW1CAHggw

[vernal lotus]

Still getting the white light

Do I reset cmos?

[limber nacelle]

gosh that system is so badass, what gpus did it have?

[left dove]

yes

[vernal lotus]

What uf that dosnt help

[rigid fjord]

can you reset your brain also?

[left dove]

idk im not there in front of the pc

[jagged rain]

What gpu could this be

[vernal lotus]

Yeah ok funny guy

Nobody asked you for your option on this

[left dove]

its an open forum to be honest

also thats not an invitation to DM me

[ocean axle]

Vii and 64

[limber nacelle]

oh sick

Vii kinda goes hard

[ocean axle]

I still have that 64

And actually am actively using it in a machine

[vernal lotus]

I’m getting no display

[limber nacelle]

oh, did the vii get sold during the shortage?

[vernal lotus]

Now for some reason after resetting cmos

[left dove]

you weren't getting a display before??

[vernal lotus]

Yes I wasn’t

[ocean axle]

Yes, for a profit

[limber nacelle]

haha yeah

[ocean axle]

Used that money to buy a 6800xt

[limber nacelle]

viis went crazy afaik

[vernal lotus]

Never got a display only white light on VGA

[left dove]

idk what to tell you tbh, I'm intoxicated and high and have run out of ideas

[limber nacelle]

I presume the hbm2 made is good for mining?

[ocean axle]

Correct

[left dove]

jfc why did tarky get a 9gb update

[ocean axle]

Tarkov?

[left dove]

ja

[ocean axle]

Blame unity

[left dove]

yeah but bepinex

[ocean axle]

Blame, unity

[left dove]

bepinex makes unity tolerable

[ocean axle]

Doesn't fix it's issues though

And there are many

[rigid fjord]

does it fix the memory issue that tarkov can have?

[ocean axle]

Unlikely

[clear canyon]

tarkov just runs like ass in general bc of the devs awful code 😦

[left dove]

idk i gotta see if spt updated with this latest patch

[swift moss]

Wonder why it paused

Some PCI device is taking a long time

[left dove]

be nice to it that little device is waking up froma big nap

[swift moss]

Interssting

I just installed a new os onto it lol

I'll give it 20 mins

It's quota

[left dove]

LOL my brother just started a fire in the microwave

[hoary agate]

I was the microwave and can confirm

[left dove]

dude put a holographic paper plate in the microwave, the holographic bit is foil, it immediately caught fire after the magnetron energized

"Man I just wanted warm cookies"

[hoary agate]

Anything metal in a microwave is a no go

Magnetrons and metal don’t mix

[left dove]

he didn't know holographic stuff is most commonly metallic foil

he does now!

[formal sonnet]

I mean, technically they achieved their goal of warm cookies. 😏

[left dove]

unfortunately the cookies were ruined by the soot and ash

[formal sonnet]

Mmmm extra flavor! Just like how some people I know enjoy carbonized marshmallows.

[left dove]

I like a dark brown burn, not a charred black burn

One of my dogs will go ballistic anytime we use the oven..... But whenever it's past midnight, she's perfectly fine and does nothing

[elfin night]

should i get a 7900GRE or 7800XT for a ryzen 7 9700X

[left dove]

oh oh I'm coming to your island soon

[formal sonnet]

HANDS OFF MY HERMAN MILLER CHAIR! 🤣

[sleek ibex]

I don't understand dog logic

[left dove]

gf and I are gonna explore the shit out of nanaimo and probably cruise south

might snoop around in vancouver too

im so excited though

I have a goal to go to a timmies

[left dove]

but honestly do you have any special places on the island you can suggest? scenery, trinkets, food, etc

[formal sonnet]

Nice nice. Feel free to DM me when you're here if you want pointers or anything. Also, Timmies is a little overrated, BUT worth trying at least once in your life. I know of cozy cafes (some with good food in addition to coffee), bakeries, donut shops, and countless craft beer breweries, in addition to parks, beaches, and hiking trails all over the island.

[left dove]

Duly noted!!

[split lake]

hi

[errant yoke]

Can this cause system not to work

[split lake]

i think so

im scared

[left dove]

maybe, the contacts engage much higher than that

see the little darkish discoloration in the middle of all the contacts

that's the full range of engagement when fully seated

[long goblet]

what is wrong with imgur?

no matter when i go to it, no matter what link i follow, i always see this.

presumably other people actually see an image. otherwise they'd stop making links to it...

[left dove]

[drowsy flame]

I decided on a case finally

[left dove]

oh god fucking finally

[vernal lotus]

bruh im still getting no display

[left dove]

oh and it has glass, ew

[long goblet]

it's hideous

[drowsy flame]

[long goblet]

wow, you've suffered for almost a minute.

go to a troubleshooting channel.

[vernal lotus]

no actually more like 20 mins

i did

[long goblet]

in my experience, no video on post is generally poor seating of the video card in the slot, forgetting to plug in the GPU power cables, or a bad video cable.

does the rest of the POST work?

does caps-lock work?

[vernal lotus]

wdym?
ive tried using my igpu and it works

but js my 3070 wont display anything

[vernal lotus]

my keyboard and everything turns on

just not the display

[long goblet]

reseat the card

[vernal lotus]

i did 3 times

[long goblet]

verify the power cable is plugged into both the gpu and the poower supply

[vernal lotus]

it is its not modular

[long goblet]

okay, verify it on the GPU

[vernal lotus]

its pushed in all the way

it clicked in when i plugged it in

[long goblet]

pull it out and try again

with the computer off

while the computer is off

then try booting.

[vernal lotus]

could it be something with the VGA? i used to have a white VGA light on my mobo

[fathom turtle]

is going from an intel 10700k to a ryen 7 9700x worth the upgrade? just wondwring im about to upgrade my pc

[long goblet]

depends on what you want from your computer, and the rest of the specs.

[vernal lotus]

i had a white VGA light but reset cmos and it went away

[fathom turtle]

mostly gaming and basic school work. ik the 9800x3d is the go to but it was out of my budget

[long goblet]

what level of gaming?

[fathom turtle]

i also got a rog strix 3070 ti oc editon and upgrading to ddr5 ram 6000mt and 30CL

1440p

[long goblet]

eh probably then

[fathom turtle]

yeah it was time foe an upgrade

[vernal lotus]

i had a white VGA light but reset cmos and it went away?

[drowsy flame]

How so? It has two top intakes and a back exhaust. I mean, the GPU fans might be in taking from the bottom but it has magnetic filters. Doesn’t look like it’ll be a problem more than any other case

[long goblet]

why the fuck would you use a top intake?

that's just nonsense.

[vivid pendant]

Don't work against gravity

[tidal geyser]

Sick

[fathom turtle]

i did that im changing it with my upgrade

[long goblet]

0_o

[tidal geyser]

Ain't troubleshooting fun

[vivid pendant]

Lol

[vernal lotus]

lmao yk any fix?

[vivid pendant]

I wanted to see who would catch that

[vernal lotus]

i heard some guy said " he updated pcie slot driver "

should i update bios?

[drowsy flame]

Download more ram

[tidal geyser]

Well does the pc work now?

[vernal lotus]

[vernal lotus]

no im using igpu atm

[tidal geyser]

Do you have a dgpu?

[vernal lotus]

fans spin on the 3070 tho

[vernal lotus]

yeah the 3070 that isnt working

[tidal geyser]

Try moving the 3070 to a lower slot

[drowsy flame]

They make good power supplies but I prefer the Thermaltake GF3 850

[long goblet]

sure. can't total a car twice.

[junior valve]

how come?

[vernal lotus]

i only have one slot

[tidal geyser]

Are you sure the gpu works

[vernal lotus]

i js got it like 1 hr ago

[tidal geyser]

New or used?

[vernal lotus]

new

but warranty is expired

[tidal geyser]

Possible DoA

[vernal lotus]

i checked serials

[tidal geyser]

What?

[junior valve]

i think he might need to configure the main display adapter from igpu to pcie 1

[tidal geyser]

It's from purchase data

[vernal lotus]

the guy i got it off had it since 2021

[long goblet]

i think you got scammed, lol.

[tidal geyser]

Ir does it automatically

[vernal lotus]

they had bulk lol

[tidal geyser]

So it's used

[vernal lotus]

how do i do that?

[vernal lotus]

u wont belive it but, it was a s#x toy shop selling them

[long goblet]

you got scammed.

[tidal geyser]

O well, are you sure the extra pcie power cable is plugged in

[vernal lotus]

well how do i know for sure atm

[junior valve]

i used to have the same problem with my 4080 , fan spins but it doesnt recognized in task manger

[vernal lotus]

ile use ebay buyer protection after i test everything

[vernal lotus]

how did u fix it?

[long goblet]

it's DOA. try to get your money back.

[tidal geyser]

First troubleshoot

[tidal geyser]

Is the gpu plugged in?

[vernal lotus]

yes

reseated it like 30 times

[tidal geyser]

Have you gone into windows with the gpu?

[long goblet]

GL with this, i wash my hands of it.

[vernal lotus]

no

[junior valve]

i did a ddu , install my old gtx 1080 then download the new drivers , plug in my 4080 andit fixed everything

[tidal geyser]

Try so as it might be missing drivers

[vernal lotus]

wait so should i get my brothers 3060 and try installing drivers like that

[tidal geyser]

Welp there goes my time, I will have to go in 12min

[vernal lotus]

then taking it out and using 3070?

[long goblet]

missing drivers, windows refers to default VGA drivers.

[solid osprey]

fans cost like £5 bro

[junior valve]

do a ddu first

[solid osprey]

its not the end of the world if theres no fans

[vernal lotus]

i have

[tidal geyser]

Try to put his gpu in and see if you get display

[tidal geyser]

I know but for my gpu i had to

[long goblet]

and then downloads updated drivers off windows update.

[vernal lotus]

i tried this at the start

[tidal geyser]

Did it work?

[junior valve]

remove the 3070 and install the 3060 then try to download new drivers

[vernal lotus]

alright

[gusty wagon]

I find pc fans nice

A little expensive, though

[vernal lotus]

should i use the drivers listed on the asus turbo 3070 website?

[junior valve]

only nice if you have more than 10

[junior valve]

just download the nvidia app

[vernal lotus]

what else can i do

after i try that?

[junior valve]

the app forces you to download driver before doing anything else

[gusty wagon]

I have the following

• 3x Phanteks T30
• 3x Arctic P12 Max
• 3x Arctic P12 15mm
• 2x Noctua NF-A9
• 6x Nidec Gentle Typhoon 1850's

[junior valve]

in one case?

[vernal lotus]

but what if the gpu still dosnt work after installing with the 3060 in?

[junior valve]

ask for a refund

[gusty wagon]

Most of them are in use, some of them are stored away

[vernal lotus]

also i had a White VGA light before i reset cmos

[junior valve]

it only counts when u use them all

[gusty wagon]

Yeah the old i paid for 240hz, i'm gonna use all 240hz theory

[distant mesa]

Anyone know why I can't play a song from my local files ? It is only one song and all of the other ones work

[gusty wagon]

I run my fromsoft games at 120fps using lossless scaling

[distant mesa]

It used to work but doesn't now

[junior valve]

yes

[gusty wagon]

I see it as a highly inefficient use of space; that box could fit four high-powered systems

[junior valve]

no it cant , only 2
