It will be upgraded to a 3070

#

Is it normal for boot times to be 115 seconds with XMP and 15 without xmp? (980 pro)

worthy sage
#

It's just so I know it boots as it works

steep raptor
left palm
#

prob just once

#

hmm

#

that is odd

worthy sage
#

Where do the other cables go

#

Other than the CPU it's plugged in

left palm
worthy sage
steep raptor
# left palm that is odd

Yeah. It’s my friends build. He kept getting bSODs with a ram stick then it just fixed it self and now his trying to turn on XMP. (He was overclocking with knowing what anything means and prob fucked a fuse)

those are for the gpu

worthy sage

@left dove

What about all this shit

left dove
#

you're not using sata or molex so you dont need them

worthy sage
#

Ok and what about this extra thing hanging out

steep raptor
left dove
#

thats a pigtail for an extra plug if your gpu has it

limber nacelle
#

hmmm

left palm
left dove
#

which your gpu does not, so it can dangle

limber nacelle
#

what's the speed for the sticks?

worthy sage
#

So everything I have is enough to power it for a boot?

left dove
#

you have no cpu or ram its not going to boot

steep raptor
# limber nacelle hmmm

He also just showed me that on boot CPU and RAM lights are on only when Mem training is off

limber nacelle
#

can you answer the question please? :^)

left palm
#

Light sabers

worthy sage

#

what bios rev is he on?

barren nebula
#

What should I upgrade out of this? - R7 5700x3d, RX 6800, 32gb ram

steep raptor
limber nacelle
#

oh that's quite an old revision

steep raptor
#

Yes it is

limber nacelle
#

I would suggest trying to update to the latest

#

may help, may not help but, worth doing imo

left palm
left dove
steep raptor
#

Okay. (His PC has been buggin since he tried overclocking his CPU, BSOD almost every 2 days, he reinstalled windows like 3 times past 2 months

worthy sage
#

So it will boot 100% unless something is broken?

limber nacelle
steep raptor
limber nacelle
#

secondly.... why is he OC'ing if he doesn't know what he's doing at all

#

tell him to revert to stock

steep raptor
limber nacelle
#

well, updating to latest bios should wipe whatever fucky settings he might have

#

if he's not going to update bios, tell him to clear CMOS

#

shitty OC is prime suspect for instability

Anyway look at this lad

On god so much better mounting equipment on this cooler

steep raptor

oh that just fits

#

God damn

next zenith
# steep raptor oh that just fits

It's a few mil taller than my previous cooler. I've handed down that to my younger brother's pc, but that's about 10 mil too tall for his case. So you can't fully screw back on the side panel

#

Does make me curious, I will check the clearance, but I think the spec sheets of both said 8 mil gap

Ugly color, but still gives you reliability

So this is everything done correctly just to boot for a test run (missing CPU, CPU cooler and ram sticks) but everything is plugged in correctly?

Oh lord here we go pc prices on my list are rising already

What gpu cpu combo do you need 1000W for?

granite sundial

and if they do its gonna be like 7 and its gonna sell out in 5 minutes

oh wow @south arrow

shrewd garnet

I'm running a 5090 on 850 absolutely fine for everything but monster hunter wilds benchm

granite sundial

u only need 1000+ watts if ur using an intel cpu or if ur using a 5090

shrewd garnet

Which must be a driver thing

lol 14900k is cheaper than the 7800x3d here

aus ?

granite sundial

yes

#

x3d chips are even more overpriced than usual here

lol same card i bought is now selling for 150 more

if i waited any longer id have been in waiting for 50 series stock purgatory

its worse than the 3000 series shortages

#

i remember having a conversation with a fairly large purchaser of intel CPU's. (this was at a national lab, they were standing up a new compute cluster) they said that, even with the binned CPU's they got (supposed to be better than general stock), they still had massive differences in compute power for a given thermal output.

#

or rather, for a given compute power, massive differences in thermal output.

#

(this was like 7 years ago)

Should I get a 1440p 100Hz or a 1080p 165Hz? I haven’t noticed a difference between even 80 and 100 fps so I was thinking of the 1440p one. (Same price)

bronze summit
#

what games do you play

supple gull
#

Cyberpunk, PUBG, cod, war thunder

#

Watch movies too

granite sundial
#

what do u play the most

bronze summit
#

165hz

#

Go for 165hz

rapid quarry
supple gull
# bronze summit Go for 165hz

1080p kinda disappointed me in terms of quality cause I was used to tiny laptop screens, that’s why I was thinking of trading for a 1440p. What makes higher refresh rate better?

granite sundial
#

significant improvement in smoothness and sharpness

#

its immediately obvious the difference going from 60hz to 144hz+

bronze summit
#

And plus you play mostly play esports titles

#

if you're getting 80 and 100fps, you won't be able to run 1440p nicely

supple gull
#

Using a B580 with upscaling

granite sundial
#

with a lower end CPU B580 is about equivalent to a 4060

supple gull
#

12400f. Haven’d had any issuesp

thorn pewter
#

i genuinely dont mind using 45 fps or 40 fps in any title, that is considered a playable fps where no issues i have with the game, 60 fps is buttery smooth and perfect for me, but having greater fps is always better, i find 30 fps to become now unplayable in some situations

# thorn pewter it isnt that bad tbh

I list prices in NZ dollar as well
It’s 680 NZ for a barely used 3080 (dudes upgrading to a 4080 and upgraded to 3080 series when 40 series came out) - that’s 390 usd. Cards here typically sell second hand for U.S. MSRP

oh not bad, kinda of a steal

i would get it asap if i were u

so the 14900k is better for ruuning vms

thorn pewter

worst joke i have made so far

minor sleet
hushed tapir
thorn pewter
minor sleet
thorn pewter
#

prob cuz of region difference

minor sleet
thorn pewter
#

for me its 100+ usd( me in us btw)

hushed tapir
#

100 dollars more for a bundle but getting the bundle for me and my fience so 200 overall

thorn pewter
#

abt 500 for 9800x3d and abt 400 give or take for the 14900k

#

so i would say get the intel bundle imo

#

but buy a good quality psu

hushed tapir
#

Might go with the 7800x3d for hers cuz hers is only gaming

thorn pewter
#

am confused

hushed tapir
#

Both. We both are upgrading

thorn pewter
#

ohh ok

#

then do that

hushed tapir
#

So I currently have a 3080 with a 850 watt gold rated psu. Will that still be good enough?

thorn pewter

u are okay

My phone supports 5G UC. My phone says 5G UC on the top. Yet YouTube tends to sometimes buffer.

minor sleet
gritty grove

I have to use LTE to get a good connection, and at that point, why pay for 5G?

They need to build more 5G towers.

If the US hadn't made up some BS to ban Huawei, I get 5G here would be much better.

It should just come out easily.

damn your right

I literally had to use my shirt to get a good grip and it came off

why was that plugged so tight 😭

Was it just the one, or are they all tight?

arctic furnace

Nah I was literally pulling with a good amount of strength

#

idk why it was like that how weird

gritty grove
#

Tolerances were too tight

arctic furnace
#

To be honest i thought they designed it to be proprietary like i thought they blocked the pressure point on the plastic clip (you know how PSU cables have clips)

I thought it was like that lmao šŸ˜‚

@thorn pewter its 10 bit

even though it should be 32 or whatever you said

oh i just realized they're not lianli okkk, tell me how they go

thorn pewter
solemn raft
thorn pewter
#

what

#

what was the issue

solemn raft
#

my screen is 10 bits

#

and you said you got it and didnt tell

thorn pewter
#

wym

#

ohh i thought u solved the issue mb

#

so

#

navigate to your system settings, go to "Display," then "Advanced Display Settings," and select the option labeled "Display Adapter" where you can choose the highest available color depth from the "List All Modes" option; typically, this will allow you to select a 10-bit or higher color depth depending on your monitor capabilities.

#

then that should solve it

#

"hopefully"

arctic furnace
#

I’m actually cooked

thorn pewter
#

what

arctic furnace
#

The RGB cable is way to thick šŸ’€

thorn pewter
#

like in that it doesn't fit?

arctic furnace
#

yeah imma have to return them šŸ˜”

thorn pewter
#

nooo

#

atleast u get money back

#

so yeah

thorn pewter
arctic furnace
thorn pewter
#

so not a real big loss

thorn pewter
#

click on internal display

solemn raft
#

its already on

#

and still says this

thorn pewter
#

swithc from the igpu to the dgpu

#

maybe that will solve it

solemn raft
#

how do i do that

thorn pewter
#

and the final thing to try is to contact asues themsleves, they can help you to find the problem btw

solemn raft
#

oh wait their software ok

#

Man this sucks 😭

Fair enough. Reason #6374 I haven't bothered to buy an HDR 10-bit capable display... 😦

thorn pewter
#

ig he have to deal with it for ever then

#

not much we can do

#

tbh i have a old 8 bit monitor, never see those issues on it

#

but also kinda weird yk, why did Samsung decide to use a 8 bit screen on there 25s ultra, but not 10 bit screen like other flagship phones?

#

i don't see s24 ultra users upgrading their phones to something that have a worse pen and not that much better processor.

hi all, so its been about 16 years since the last PC build i did.. back then if i wanted to swap the direction in which a fan blows without flipping the whole fan, i would just swap the + and - wires. now i have 2 Corsair QX140 fans that ill need to reverse in a build im doing.. does the old way of just swapping the wires still work?? have seen a few posts that say that some newer fans dont work with this method anymore. does anyone here have experience with these fans or anyone that can help? thank you

I got logged out of steam on my phone for some reason and now I can’t get back in without my Steam Guard Authenticator 2FA which was on my steam app on the phone I’m trying to log in on.

I submitted a support request to Steam saying what happened and asking them to remove the steam guard authenticator from my account. I submitted a product key for a game I redeemed, I provided last 4 digits of the visa card on the account. Anyone ever had something like this happen? How long did it take to get back into your account?

Luckily (after going up the chain and yelling at a couple different low level customer service people) they did the right thing and replaced the laptop entirely because it was under warranty. Luckily for me, the laptop was out of production and had been replaced by a newer model so they sent me the next one up in their product line which meant I got an 11300H and 3050ti mobile. Still not great but it was fine at the time. I ended up giving it to my younger brother for Christmas when I decided to upgrade to an asus tuf F15 with a 12700H and 4070 mobile. Kept that laptop for about a year and sold it like 2 weeks ago on eBay for $250 less than I paid for it. Not bad.
