Did bro forget to take off the sticker from the air cooler and now hates them

[tidal geyser]

it would stop boosting

[tidal falcon]

lmfao i have an air cooler now

[tidal geyser]

its meant to run at 95c 24/7

[tidal falcon]

weird

[tidal geyser]

no

[tidal falcon]

lets burn up some thermal paste together

i wanna cook on my cpu

[rugged sand]

Is coffee filter + 70% isopropyl alcohol ok for cleaning cpu thermal paste off?

[tidal geyser]

the ihs on am5 is thicker

[tidal falcon]

https://tenor.com/view/cooking-cpu-hot-meat-yummy-gif-25343056

[tidal geyser]

strange combo

[tidal geyser]

the thermal paste is not getting that hot

[left dove]

fx series lets goooo

[rugged sand]

I hear coffee filters are good?

[wheat field]

If you scramble an egg yolk and rub it on the thermal paste will loosen

[tidal geyser]

never ever heard anyone say it is

[left dove]

grillin' on 200w

[tidal falcon]

why a coffee filter

[tidal geyser]

why not

[tidal falcon]

cuz i dont wanna get cancer when i brew my coffee ig

[rugged sand]

Idk something to do with the material? Better than a paper towel and doesn't leave bits behind or something.

[tidal falcon]

thermal paste coffee

yum

[fringe prairie]

u14s is a single tower btw

[rugged sand]

I swear I heard it on an LTT vid XD

[tidal geyser]

maybe as a joke

[wheat field]

coffee filters are cheap and replaceable, if you did use one in this scenario and didn't replace it you're the idiot.

Also just use rubbing alochol and a cloth, no need to get fancy.

[tidal falcon]

nah bro i just like cancerous coffee

[rugged sand]

Nah I don't think it was

[wheat field]

then why ask, just do it if you have the best available information.

or paper towls

[wheat field]

They're literally using it as a towel

[tidal falcon]

yep

[rugged sand]

Welp I got coffee filters.... may as well

[wheat field]

You asked if it was the best, no it just achieves the exact same effect

[tidal falcon]

what did you buy

[indigo basin]

how would I go around getting this phone to boot? just give like 4V to the BMS pads where the battery was?

[tidal geyser]

nothing, i cant justify buying anything from it

[rugged sand]

I first asked if it was "ok" to use it. Then I said "I hear coffee filters are good"

[tidal geyser]

i have the exact other issue most other people my age have, im too scared to buy some stuff

[tidal falcon]

my little bro bought a 125cc engine lol

[rugged sand]

Never said anything about "the best"

[wheat field]

They're not "good" though, you raised it as if you heard they were the best option. They achieve the same results as the rest of the obvious mentions, it's just more annoying.

[tidal falcon]

stop arguing and wipe off the fucking thermal paste

[wheat field]

Real

[rugged sand]

I feel like there is some sort of benefit, or why would they even mention it.

[left dove]

Meow.

[rugged sand]

Bet.

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/nuh-uh-cat-cat-meme-nuh-uh-cat-gif-9271722470286310300

Dang I gotta wait 3 days for thermal paste

[tidal falcon]

[tidal falcon]

sad

[night skiff]

Guys wich mobo is better the B850 Aorus Elite WiFi7 Ice or the asrock steel legend b650

In looks the auros but what about the features and other stuff?

[rugged sand]

Why does the first one sound like a vape

[tidal falcon]

lmfao

[night skiff]

😂

[rugged sand]

Dang that's clean af

[tidal falcon]

watch a few youtube vids reviewing them and make sure that they arent paid

[fringe prairie]

whichever is cheaper/looks better to you

[night skiff]

Wich one

[rugged sand]

At least once I buy it, I won't have to buy it again.

[fringe prairie]

i'd probably go aorus

[rugged sand]

The vape one. But both tbh.

[night skiff]

How do I make sure they are not paid and i need a comparison between them

[tidal falcon]

gimme a min

[rugged sand]

Does it matter which motherboard you get? (Performance wise) or does it not matter? I know gpu cpu matter a lot.

[night skiff]

Okk

Why the 5080 trio is so small compared to other 5080? What

[solid quail]

vrm

[wheat field]

As long as it has the features you want and your CPU is compatible most options will be fine.

[wheat field]

I always rather steel legend stuff

[solid quail]

and as long as the power delivery can handle the CPU

[wheat field]

If said CPU is compatible with the motherboard it most likely will.

[solid quail]

I semi recently encountered someone who put a 5700X3D in a low end A520 board

[wheat field]

lol well

No accounting for idiots.

[solid quail]

not really, the board still has support for it, but will limit the performance

[night skiff]

Really I prefere asrock?

[tidal falcon]

assrock has an hdmi and the b850 board doesnt

if thats something you want

[wheat field]

Aye, I wasn't really accounting for actual numpties

[solid quail]

assuming you get a G-sku CPU, that's a valid point actually

[wheat field]

It is asrock

[night skiff]

But I put the cables no my gpu😭

[rugged sand]

So there isn't a clear winner compared to gpus? Like how the RTX 5090 is the best

[tidal falcon]

i mean for if you ever need it for something

[night skiff]

Are that better than gigabyte?

[wheat field]

No

[wheat field]

What gigabyte are we talking about?

I'm leaving the chat, this is disturbing

#1106613567966429224

[night skiff]

Gigabyte b850 auros elite ice

[wheat field]

Depends, I'd say yes.

[tidal falcon]

besides that not much is different io wise

[solid quail]

Found some old pictures. Bought a CPU for 3€two years ago. Here's some random r23 run I performed on it

[night skiff]

Why bro I just asked u said it’s asrock so I suppose they are better than gigabyte making boards

[wheat field]

we're not tech support. There's literally channels for these questions

[night skiff]

Asrock is having issues whit the 9800x3d

That is the cpu that I will buy

[solid quail]

#1027757333117415424

[night skiff]

I’m not having issues I’m saying the ASRock mobos have

[tidal falcon]

here are the features, assrock is on the left

[solid quail]

yeah, but afaik questions like these are generally asked in that chat

[wheat field]

#1106613567966429224

[solid quail]

or this yeah

forgot it exists lol

[wheat field]

ah the joys of not knowing wheter there's something wrong with your PC or if your VPN has gone kaput

[tidal falcon]

both

dunno if this is the chat, got a friend near ontario, wants to get a new laptop (new , not refurbished ) for under 450 canadian $ , for web browsing, classes, meetings , stock viewing etc etc etc . found this https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/lenovo-ideapad-slim-3i-15-6-fhd-laptop-intel-core-i3-n305-8gb-4800mhz-lpddr5-ram-256gb-ssd-arctic-grey-windows-11-home-dolby-audio-intel-uhd-graphics-wifi-6/18928870 seems like a good deal but i dont know if ram can be upgraded, anyone knows if there is any store that might have a better deal or price for a laptop with at least an n200 (might be enough) ?

same thing

[sinful cobalt]

from my experience gigabyte has shit QC control
asrock has good budget options

but sjnce ur using 9800x3d rn I’d stay away from asrock and asus boards since those are the 1s that reported issues

[rugged sand]

FInished taking apart the Thinkcentre M710t

gotta order thermal paste and clean it

then I'll attempt to put it back together

How much RAM could a RAM stick stick if a RAM stick could stick RAM?

[rigid sierra]

yes

[formal sonnet]

That depends. Is it Dedodated WAM? Or regular RAM?

[rapid quarry]

For the sake of ease, assume regular ram and pi and e are 3

[rigid sierra]

it also depends on the RGB. it has to...

Need some help I’m getting crazy min fps in rocket league specs are 4070 super, i5-12600k and 32gb of ram it’s going all the way down to 30 min fps is there anything or anyone that could provide a fix

[rigid sierra]

dance the screw driver head around the pins

[rigid sierra]

oof

that cpu

[neon locust]

Wym

[formal sonnet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0BEUnJSgEE

[grizzled frost]

you forgot a number, right?

like you meant 12600k or similar, right?

[untold scarab]

is 64 gb of ddr5 corsair vengance for 50 usd a good deal if im trying to flip it

[neon locust]

Yes

[rigid sierra]

oh nvm

i thought it was first gen cpu

[neon locust]

Anyone can help?

[worldly mason]

Pressed Mem ok and the PC restarted and booted thank God

[rigid sierra]

check the task manager while playing the game. see whats using the resources

you can also check core temp. incase the cpu is heating abnormally

[neon locust]

CPU at 17% utilization and gpu is at 17-21% and temp stays at 59-60 consistently

[grizzled frost]

check individual core usage

[neon locust]

How do I do that

[rigid sierra]

right click on the cpu graph. you should see the option

[neon locust]

Should I run the game

[rigid sierra]

yes

[neon locust]

There’s red light by gpu what does that mean

@rigid sierra

[rigid sierra]

are you sure the game is using the gpu

[neon locust]

Not 100% sure but this shows

[rigid sierra]

can you check task manager list. and check the gpu engine used for rocket league

it should be a column that can be added. by right clicking on the top row

[neon locust]

Can u say that more into detail

Go to processes ?

[rigid sierra]

yes

detail section

[neon locust]

Okay I’m here

[rigid sierra]

right click on 0% disk

[neon locust]

Am I in the right place

Oh got it

Nvm okay did it

[untold scarab]

if a vss pin breaks off on my cpu is it usable

[neon locust]

Says 18%

[rigid sierra]

mb i'm on linux

i had to look up a screenshot

[neon locust]

No problem did it

[rigid sierra]

add "gpu engine". it should show you the gpu used for each process

[neon locust]

How do I do that

[rigid sierra]

right click like shown in the ss

[neon locust]

Okay it says gpu 0 -3d

[rigid sierra]

can you take screenshot of the performance tab

showing gpu graphs

[rigid sierra]

i thought you had a integrated gpu. nvm
being used instead of your rtx card

[neon locust]

How do I check cpu cores

[rigid sierra]

go to cpu. and then right click on the big graph

then "change graph to" > logical processors

[neon locust]

Is this normal

[lone ibex]

Why’s it making weird noises when I move around in my workspace
If you can’t hear it turn up your volume

[rigid sierra]

it looks normal

[neon locust]

Even if some are parked

[rigid sierra]

sounds like a coil whine

maybe try a cpu benchmark and compare with online results?

[rigid sierra]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HzR2035_pE

[rigid sierra]

how is your ram speed btw. do you have xmp enabled?

[neon locust]

Yes I do there’s red light flashing from gpu

[rigid sierra]

it could be the gpu is just not seated properly

[neon locust]

So reseat it

[rigid sierra]

if its not seated all the way. sometimes it get recognized but runs at a very slow speed

[neon locust]

Plug it into the silver one right

@rigid sierra

Also yellow light

[rigid sierra]

yes the silver one

[neon locust]

I reseated it’s still flashing

hey guys i friend on mine had his Seasonic FOCUS PX-850 platinum suddenly die on him, he sent it back for RMA and since that model is discontinued they are offering a FOCUS GX-850 ATX 3.1 which is gold rating, would this be considered a downgrade? should he ask for a platinum rating replacement?

[willow coral]

Ngl how is this possible. How can I wipe my windows download windows from cloud. And it’s still having an update issue?

https://hwbusters.com/quick-tips/should-i-get-an-atx-v3-1-psu-or-an-atx-v3-0-will-be-fine-everything-you-need-to-know/

[jolly echo]

he isnt buying one, seasonic rma team is offering that one as a replacement since the model he has is discontinued

[rigid sierra]

just saying that i think its a downgrade

[jolly echo]

ah

[mild cloud]

should fast boot be on or off in bios? at default its off

[rigid sierra]

the only difference is the atx v3.1 standard right? (as a "upgrade")

[jolly echo]

yeah, he had a platinum rating one, but the replacement they are offering is gold rating

Portable or installer

NVM

Framework or just Net?

you are asking me about x299?

What does this number mean?

The 001

[elder quarry]

Maybe revision or something

[vivid pendant]

5090 is nice

[elder quarry]

Ok?

[rugged sand]

How would about reinstalling this (without thermal paste)?

[inland perch]

no-

please use thermal paste

[rugged sand]

It's temporary till my thermal paste comes. (I won't actually turn the pc on I just don't wanna lose the cpu or have it get damaged)

[elder quarry]

Why not

[rugged sand]

Sorry I meant, "how would I go about"

[elder quarry]

What could possibly go wrong

[left dove]

no you can't mount it without thermal paste you'll cause damage

[elder quarry]

Huh

[inland perch]

exactly

just let it be

[rugged sand]

Why would putting the cpu in it's socket damage it? That's how you would do it if you didn't install the cpu cooler?

[left dove]

I'm being an ass, it's fine just left out

don't fuck with the socket unless you have to

right now, you don't have to

[elder quarry]

https://tenor.com/view/frying-bojack-horseman-cooking-breakfast-egg-gif-16745807

[left dove]

so leave it alone

[rugged sand]

Yeah assuming I turn on the pc.

I'm not going to do that.

I still don't understand what's wrong with leaving the cpu in its socket temporarily till I can use thermal paste.

[elder quarry]

Nothing

[rugged sand]

Then why is peyton saying not to do so?

[elder quarry]

@left dove whyy

[left dove]

I just said I was fucking with you

[left dove]

the fuck you mean, its great

[rugged sand]

I've never done this before. I took the pc apart so I could practice before an actual expensive pc.

[elder quarry]

I usually just have a 30° ish angle and putting it into the socket and slowly lowering it after

[rugged sand]

It was a prebuilt think centre

[rugged sand]

Maybe I should watch a video before I destroy the motherboard socket 💀

[elder quarry]

it’s pretty hard ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[cyan gorge]

anyone here know any rgb24bit interface controller boards

[elder quarry]

You will need to try to do that

[cyan gorge]

or generally an expert on controller board and display compatibility...?

[left dove]

I can find a hellhound delivering mcdonalds with side pouches where you can take food out, it's kinda rad

[rugged sand]

It's pretty hard to install the cpu? Or it's pretty hard to mess it up?

[elder quarry]

Mess it up

[rugged sand]

Ah ok

[left dove]

its easy to fuck the pins

[random gyro]

Only if the hellhounds loona x3

[left dove]

but if you pay attention to basic shapes and fitment you'll do fine.

[elder quarry]

Nope

[left dove]

Gross, no.

[elder quarry]

Ah yeah, if you didn’t fail kindergarten

[random gyro]

What's wrong with loona lol

[rugged sand]

The correct orientation of the cpu is with the text upwards correct.

[left dove]

Overused, overhyped, overdone

I prefer creativity, not copycats

ah well

[elder quarry]

Yeah

[rugged sand]

Best not to ask.

[elder quarry]

True

[left dove]

Furry shit, don't worry about it

[rugged sand]

How do I check it's good

[left dove]

give it a light wiggle

[elder quarry]

By securing it down and post testing

[left dove]

does it move like half a mm

NO WIGGLE FIRST

[elder quarry]

Yeah true

[random gyro]

Official business lol, nice to know there is someone else here tho

[left dove]

There's like 10,000 people in this server, probably a good third are furries

[elder quarry]

I’m not here

[rugged sand]

Now I'm good to install the cpu cooler?

[left dove]

yea

i guess

[elder quarry]

Yup

[rugged sand]

(Ofc I'll have to take it off so I can apply thermal paste later)

[left dove]

just leave it off

ffs let it sit in the bottom of the case its FINE

[topaz shale]

your cpu is backwards

[random gyro]

That makes sense considering the amount of people in the tech industry who are.

[elder quarry]

I feel bad for the .33333333 guy

[left dove]

shut

[left dove]

There's nothing wrong with furries.

Well- No, I'm not getting into that here.

[random gyro]

Yeah prob a good idea lol, that usually causes problems

[elder quarry]

I know some cosplayers ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[left dove]

anyways so that new amd gpu huh

[elder quarry]

Yes

[topaz shale]

is it any good

ive been out of the loop

Hi bob

[mellow cairn]

It's the least worst

[topaz shale]

lmao

[elder quarry]

Yeah true

all around? or just their high end

[elder quarry]

Huh

[mellow cairn]

There's two cards

Is Sony TV good in terms of durability vs Samsung and LG?

[elder quarry]

Model > company

[edgy storm]

What?

[elder quarry]

i’m not into tvs ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[formal sonnet]

Don't buy products because of the brand alone. Always always ALWAYS thoroughly research the available models in your country to find the good ones. Also, RTINGS ❤️ https://www.rtings.com/tv

[elder quarry]

Thanks Kira

[edgy storm]

Well, it happens to be all my 5 Samsung TV are broken like around 5 years.

Ah thanks for information.

[elder quarry]

In what way broken

[left dove]

make sure to review the person telling you to review things too

[drowsy flame]

Some cheaper TV’s often use panels made by Samsung or LG anyways and all they do is manufacture the housing, menus, and marketing/packaging

what are you using it for? How much do you have? How big do you want your monitor?

So many questions

Looking for 1440p 32”-34”

If IPS I want 280hz

If OLED I want 165+

[elder quarry]

OLED

[obsidian fjord]

https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1347089807486222336

[elder quarry]

call emergency services instead of calling out here

Severe memory loss 👍

[drowsy flame]

Trying to decide between these two. I found a lightly used oled MSI on marketplace but it’s only 175hz so it’s kinda a side grade in terms of refresh rate because I’m already at 165 on my current monitor.

There’s also this on sale from Best Buy and it’s 280hz but not OLED

[elder quarry]

Go check if the oled is nice, have any burning amd so on

Fucking autocorrect thought that I would type amd instead of and

[drowsy flame]

Listing says no burn in, he used it about 100 hours and decided to get a 4k instead which is why he’s selling it

[topaz shale]

what resolution is it?

[elder quarry]

1440@165

[elder quarry]

Oh please not curved

[topaz shale]

not a huge fan of curved tbh

[rugged sand]

Did I plug this in correctly?

[drowsy flame]

3440x1440

[topaz shale]

it ruined the straightness of my setup

[elder quarry]

If it’s in, it’s in

[elder quarry]

But yeah

[rugged sand]

Alright good then

[drowsy flame]

I don’t mind curved on larger widescreen monitors, I find it unnecessary on anything 16:9. Slight curves like 1800r are fine, I wouldn’t go under 1500r personally

[elder quarry]

Do a post test and see if it spins

[elder quarry]

Well I can’t look at a curved screen without feeling sick

[topaz shale]

my only curved i a G8

[drowsy flame]

That’s fair, I’ve never owned a curved monitor before but I have used them briefly

[drowsy flame]

So go with the OLED as long as it checks out?

[topaz shale]

i still have a monitor box hanging around unfortunately

oled is actually dope

you can see the difference between my oled and my IPS in the photo

[obtuse raven]

gm

[elder quarry]

I would - Personally doesn’t notice big difference between 165 and 240

[elder quarry]

Sup

[topaz shale]

im not even competitive anymore, but 240 vs 165 is actually a significant jump

[elder quarry]

Did you just wake up

[drowsy flame]

I would be coming from a 32” 1440p 165hz ips non hdr

[elder quarry]

Still 1440

[topaz shale]

32 is waay too big

[obtuse raven]

Yeah

[elder quarry]

23.8-27” is the way

[topaz shale]

im running 3 27s and the 32in UW

wait its 34 in

[drowsy flame]

Nah, 32 is the way.

[topaz shale]

i just like the desk real estate i have

[obtuse raven]

[obtuse raven]

way cleaner then mine

[topaz shale]

this thing iss super dope

[obtuse raven]

if i show my setup im getting thrown out of this server

[topaz shale]

did you buy or make that?

[drowsy flame]

Oh yeah, my bad on the link being obnoxiously long, I didn’t bother to shorten oof

[obtuse raven]

alright, let us hear it

[topaz shale]

here is current state of mine. just cleaned my desk today

[elder quarry]

Chezz

Everyone’s waiting for ginger to finish

[topaz shale]

for real

[elder quarry]

Hehee

No stress

[lilac sedge]

currently I have 16 GB ram (2 8GB sticks) 3200MHz,
A friend had an extra kit of 32GB (2 16GB sticks) 3000MHz
what would be thr pros and cons of switching and would it work to put all 4 sticks in my system in any configuration?

[obtuse raven]

This might hurt your eyes…

[elder quarry]

Don’t mix, remove the 2x8 kit if upgrading

[drowsy flame]

How well will a 4070ti super handle a 3440x1440 monitor?

[elder quarry]

Bad question

[obtuse raven]

@topaz shale You wanted to see it, so here you go

[elder quarry]

Games? Workloads? How high you wanna reach

[elder quarry]

Where’s the pc

[topaz shale]

oh

[obtuse raven]

Removed it… i nead space to work on some part replacement

[drowsy flame]

Well lately I’ve been on a lot of marvel rivals and I’m back in a Minecraft phase. Other than those I play a lot of random games. Here’s my desktop so you can see what I play

[obtuse raven]

Currently prepping to open my sever up and change thermal paste, remove dust and check that everything is alright

[topaz shale]

i want to make a server but idk what to do with it

[obtuse raven]

Screenshot it in ur pc

[topaz shale]

i have some computers prepped but yeah idk what to do

[obtuse raven]

I got mine for free

[topaz shale]

oh i have multiple for free

here ill show you the other room

[drowsy flame]

I’m not at home unfortunately, that pic was taken like a week ago to show off my small screen below my main display

[obtuse raven]

Oh

Alright

[elder quarry]

[rugged sand]

I am having difficulty figuring out where cables go...

There are 3 of them

[obtuse raven]

I nead to get back to website development fr

[drowsy flame]

But yeah, marvel rivals, doom, Minecraft, Skyrim, cyberpunk, hogwarts legacy, variety of games and difficulties to run

[elder quarry]

You have a before photo… lazy

[elder quarry]

I can look soon

[topaz shale]

what do you mean

[random gyro]

can u help

i’ve never built one and my pc now just broke

[rugged sand]

It's so blurry and not clear I can't even use it 😂

[topaz shale]

those are SATA cables, for plugging SSD's / HDD's into your motherboard.

[obtuse raven]

Do I install an HDD?

[topaz shale]

one went to your samsung SSD and one went to your DVD drive

[drowsy flame]

I’m guessing a 4070ti super should be able to handle 3440x1440 175hz HDR in most games. Minecraft, Marcel rivals, cyberpunk, doom, hogwarts legacy?

[rugged sand]

Which one goes which?

I got 3 cords

[topaz shale]

doesnt really matter.

i am not seeing a third subject

[rugged sand]

I think I figured it out

[glass scaffold]

Hey all, any major thoughts on the 9070xt vs 7900xt? Plan to be upgrading my current 2600 + 2060 combo and had planned to go for 7600 + 7900xt instead. But not sure how big of a difference it is between the 2 cards, the 4gb vram difference seems substantial enough to where the 7900 seems still more worthwhile? At the cost of being worse at race tracing (I’m ok with that)

[elder quarry]

I’m back

[elder quarry]

Depends if it’s at msrp

I’d go with 9700xt due to the price

[glass scaffold]

9070 not sure due to it’s release being today, so availability is still unknown, the 7900xt i can get for around 750 $ish (Poland)

[elder quarry]

Idk tbh, never played 1440 ultra wide

[drowsy flame]

9070 is basically a 7900gre in most scenarios but sometimes gets closer to a 7900XT. I don’t think it beats the xtx though. Comes down to price at this point, can’t argue with $599 as long as you get it at msrp

[obtuse raven]

Boom an hard drive is installed

Now it’s time to change thermal goop

[elder quarry]

Congrats

[drowsy flame]

Spinny boi

[elder quarry]

Are the ram supposed to be in these slots

[glass scaffold]

Yeah expected as much, they seemed similar enough, will need to see when they come into stock and at what prices. Main question was revolving around the vram difference. 16gb vs 20gb

[obtuse raven]

New nvme

[elder quarry]

https://tenor.com/view/jago33-slot-machine-slot-online-casino-medan-gif-25082594

[obtuse raven]

Yes

[elder quarry]

Nv3

Pretty obvious that you are a swede

[drowsy flame]

Realistically no games are using over 16gb at reasonable settings and resolutions. 20gb is nice for productivity stuff but most people doing productivity probably get Nvidia cards anyways because of better encoding

[obtuse raven]

Well.. there are like 50 cables in the way of the nvme slot

[drowsy flame]

Some games are eating up 8gb of vram, most stay under 12, very few will go over 12 even if the card has it.

[elder quarry]

Do some cable management

[obtuse raven]

How is it that?

[glass scaffold]

Alrighty, in that case I’ll have a look if o can get one at a reasonable price today, otherwise I think I’ll just grab the 9700xt if stock seems to not be around for a while, appreciate the insights

[drowsy flame]

Or just put the panel back on and forget about it

[true drift]

Did Microsoft remove the windows 11 requirements or something? Because I just installed it on this “unsupported” dell optiplex and i didn’t even use Rufus

[obtuse raven]

It’s an old oem

[elder quarry]

Do some cable management

[obtuse raven]

I can’t

I tried

[drowsy flame]

Based on what I’ve seen I don’t think there will be a problem getting 9070XT’s at launch for most people as long as they’re ready to buy. Might be some site crashes but AMD is basically flooding the market with them to make scalping impractical and not worth it.

[obtuse raven]

They are too short

[elder quarry]

Tie them up to the side

[cyan gorge]

Hey how hot can small LCD displays get

[obtuse raven]

True

[rugged sand]

Ok so I got all the cables in each of their parts. I just need to cable manage them back (in the photo how it needs to be) and figure out where each cord plugs in on the motherboard.

[elder quarry]

Noice

[elder quarry]

Building computers is fun

[cyan gorge]

P2000?

[drowsy flame]

Depends on brightness but like 100°f is pretty hot for a display to get, anything over that I’d be worried

[rugged sand]

I not know how to do this...

[obtuse raven]

That looks like my server

[rugged sand]

Yes

[rugged sand]

Yup old prebuilt

[cyan gorge]

But like it's 6.5"

[cyan gorge]

How good is the GPU?

[glass scaffold]

I heard as much too, and I imagine that will be the case for US sites for sure, Poland on the other hand has a major lack of stores and sites that are dedicated to PC components so I’ll need to see if i can find it anywhere

[drowsy flame]

One UK retailer had over a thousand of the same model of MSRP 9070XT

[rugged sand]

I haven't really used this, but I hear it's not meant for gaming (it can run games) but for cheap budget builds it can be a steal.

[cyan gorge]

Also would it be the back more hotter or the controller board

[cyan gorge]

Can be for rendering yeah, but can it assist in levels like GTX 1050ti?

[drowsy flame]

Probably the screen itself I would guess

[rugged sand]

Not sure

[cyan gorge]

Hmm

[cyan gorge]

Well issue I'm gonna connect it with other plastic parts

[rugged sand]

I'm new to pc building (which is why I took this apart to learn to build it)

So my knowledge is not very good

[cyan gorge]

My PC is oem

Linus made me think to cut it open to fit a better psu

[rugged sand]

What's oem?

[cyan gorge]

It's those pre built s that don't use standard sizes

[rugged sand]

Ah I see

Taking apart and building this pc was surprisingly easy compared to how I thought. I just do not know where to plug the cables in right now.

[cyan gorge]

I'm thinking getting a decent GPU for gaming 3d modelling

But hoping to find one like for 40$ but the market is hard here

[obtuse raven]

Does anyone know that this button does?

[rugged sand]

I wanna get an over the top pc build that I will never need to upgrade (no budget)

[cyan gorge]

Welcome to when you try to learn where the HDD/ssd is connected

[rugged sand]

So I'm practicing first

[arctic kettle]

That is intrusion detection

The side panel presses it down if im correct

[rugged sand]

That looks like my pc??

[arctic kettle]

Is it a bios setting that turns off the computer if opened on this one?

[obtuse raven]

Prob

[wispy thunder]

No it just triggers an alarm or spins up the fans - rarely will it shut down the pc

[arctic kettle]

Ah ok

[wispy thunder]

there's probably a log in bios that tells you if it's been opened

[arctic kettle]

I've never personally had a system with intrusion detection but that makes sense.

[wispy thunder]

but yes you'd be correct it's a chassis intrusion detection

[rugged sand]

Can someone help me figure out how to redo this?

[limber nacelle]

yeah because it's not a useful feature for home PCs

[rugged sand]

I can't identify which cables these are

[arctic kettle]

Mostly workstation or server.

[limber nacelle]

yeah at an office or something

[wispy thunder]

yep

[limber nacelle]

or yeah a server because they have to worry about tampering

or theft

[wispy thunder]

my Intel server boards always had chassis intrusion support

So did my pedestal server chassis

[limber nacelle]

admittedly, it is a very cool feature

just useless to most

[arctic kettle]

bios flashback button better

[limber nacelle]

rear bios clear my goat

[rugged sand]

I don't know where any of the cables go 😂

[arctic kettle]

esp the boards that dont need cpu for bios update

[limber nacelle]

I dislike msi boards but I like how a lot of their boards have rear cmos clear

my freaking z790 proart is so ass

[clear canyon]

They go into the pc

[limber nacelle]

no rear bios clear, no post code lcd for 640 cad new

[arctic kettle]

real

easy cmos clear is S tier feature

[limber nacelle]

all that money went to thunderbolt 💀

and 10g eth

[arctic kettle]

💀

[limber nacelle]

but like cmon I'd at least expect the other two features

if you're gonna charge an arm and a leg

[rugged sand]

Actually I think I figured it out

[limber nacelle]

also wizard dunno if you've been following the used market recently but it's so bad rn

[arctic kettle]

It is

[limber nacelle]

everything decent is like, +$200 rn

balls

[arctic kettle]

Ever since 5000 launch

[limber nacelle]

yeah it's been dry as fuck out here

[arctic kettle]

just getting worse and worse

[limber nacelle]

[arctic kettle]

I got a steam deck from market place basically brand new 650

[limber nacelle]

is that cheap even tho

I thought valve refurbished are similar in price

[arctic kettle]

I didn't have to pay new prices for new.

[limber nacelle]

unless ur talking about the oled

[arctic kettle]

No taxes

Yeah oled

[limber nacelle]

oh yeah not bad then

[arctic kettle]

LCD can sugma

[limber nacelle]

real

oh hey phil

[arctic kettle]

I got unlucky with the screen I wanted to OC to 120 but I got the samsung one.

[limber nacelle]

been a while 🤔

[thin plover]

I got mine for 430+100 euros 2tb ssd

[thin plover]

hey

[limber nacelle]

ahhh

[limber nacelle]

Philly cheesesteak

ahhh I'm so close to just getting my 2080ti upgraded

[arctic kettle]

At least the silicon was decent and I could get a ok UV

[limber nacelle]

frick the 3090

I'm not gonna pay 1k cad for a two gen old card 😭

[arctic kettle]

Pay 1k for a 9070xt

Real

[limber nacelle]

respectfully the 9070xt won't work for me

I would recommend anyone who wants a card for gaming to go that route though

[arctic kettle]

Ah shit

work

Unlucky

[limber nacelle]

ye 3d stuff

radeon is just not the way for that

[arctic kettle]

no rocm rn either according to my brother

[limber nacelle]

rough

I really do hope more people upgrade to that and sell their gpus which will hopefully alleviate the market a bit

[arctic kettle]

Think he said it was coming later.

[limber nacelle]

but im being a bit wishful perhaps

[arctic kettle]

I bought 30 shares of AMD just to get hit with a 52 week low.

[rugged sand]

Two different cables are gonna go here right? Does it matter which ones goes in which? They are the same kind of cable.

[arctic kettle]

It was 12 but I kept buying the dip.

[random gyro]

yo i just moved my ps4 from my tv to my monitor and whenever i change the input source on the monitor it says no signal detected and turns off. im using the same hdmi cable as before idk why it isnt working

[limber nacelle]

tuff

hold Dat shit tho

zen6 might go crayz

[arctic kettle]

-400 bc of my amazon and that rn.

💀

[limber nacelle]

💀

[thin plover]

what u buying

[arctic kettle]

I was planning to since I bought the ultra 52 week low dip.

[limber nacelle]

trying to get a 3090

[thin plover]

o

[limber nacelle]

prices are up so much compared to last year tho

i literally paid 750 cad last year

sold it to a friend for 650

now theyre 1k cad

[arctic kettle]

fr though

[true stirrup]

Looks like it's pretty high on the list
If I remember correctly it's just much more expensive than other alternatives

[rugged sand]

How do I know if I plug this one in the top or the bottom? It fits in both

[true stirrup]

Try like this first and if it doesn't post change it

[rugged sand]

What?

[true stirrup]

Also it's not plugged in all the way

[true stirrup]

If the pc doesn't work swap where it's plugged in
It's an OEM pc I highly doubt you will find a manual

[rugged sand]

I won't be able to plug it in until my thermal paste comes, I installed the cpu cooler without thermal paste. It's gonna cook if I turn it on.

I was hoping to plug in all the cords correctly before then.

Are there identifying numbers on the motherboard to help me identify where the cables go better.

[tidal geyser]

How did it originally come

[rugged sand]

I don't know, I didn't take good enough pictures to tell. One of the cables goes to the dvd and one to the solid state drive

See the can both go in to eachothers slots. Not sure which is which.

[tidal geyser]

Wait have you been at this for 6hrs

[rugged sand]

Down to the last 3ish cables

[tidal geyser]

FYI that's just a standard connector on the motherboard

[true stirrup]

Oh there are 2
Then it doesn't matter if they are labeled the same

[rugged sand]

So it doesn't matter?

[wispy spindle]

I knew qd-oled didn't have great ambient light rejection, but holy, with basically any ambient light it looks basically grey

[rugged sand]

One says "SATA_PWR1" one says "SATA_PWR2"

[true stirrup]

Yeah doesn't matter then

[true stirrup]

Also you can still do a short post check and be fine tbh

[rugged sand]

Where do these 2 go on the motherboard?

[true stirrup]

The 3 redish ports

[rugged sand]

The maroon ones?

I think that's what it is let me check.

[clear canyon]

they are sata data cables

[true stirrup]

Honestly I never knew it's called that lol

[clear canyon]

they go in those red ports

[clear canyon]

i said it first

[tidal geyser]

i gave him the video to explain all of this like 7-8hrs ago

[rugged sand]

I always think "maroon" whenever the red is a little brown.

[eternal rivet]

lmao didnt know i was using insider

[true stirrup]

Hmmmmmm 🤨

[rugged sand]

I know where on the motherboard

I meant in the case

[clear canyon]

The only red ports

[rugged sand]

Where they are managed

[tidal geyser]

[clear canyon]

Thanks for all the help

[rugged sand]

Last question I promise. How do I put this in here? If this is where it goes?

[true stirrup]

That gif is wild 💀

[rugged sand]

There's 4 pins on the board but only 2 holes on the cable

[true stirrup]

Yeah still fine

It will use DC mode instead of PWM

[rugged sand]

Yeah I still can't figure out how to plug it in. It feels weird.

[true stirrup]

It will go in just one way

[rugged sand]

It feels like I could plug it in upside down too

[true stirrup]

Can you show the front of the cable?

[rugged sand]

This? Or the other way?

[true stirrup]

That doesn't look like it will fit

[rugged sand]

Yeah...

Idk where it goes on the motherboard if it's not there

Here's an overlook

I think I found it 😂

[true stirrup]

Yeah it's pretty obvious now lol

[tidal geyser]

the ram is still in the wrong slot

[tidal geyser]

temp sensor

[true stirrup]

Yes

[tidal geyser]

or just speaker

[rugged sand]

Apparently (according to my dad) if you put them in the correct orientation with both in the blue, the pc will not boot.

[tidal geyser]

that means ram channel b was dead

[rugged sand]

Unfortunate

[tidal geyser]

but not that i hope you took the cpu out of the socket it might work again

reseating fixes all

[rugged sand]

How would taking the cpu out, fix the ram?

[tidal geyser]

where do you think the ram is connected

[arctic kettle]

fr

[rugged sand]

This way? Of other way?

[rugged sand]

The motherboard? And the cpu can access it through the motherboard?

[arctic kettle]

If it isnt keyed it probably doesnt matter.

[rugged sand]

It did matter

[true stirrup]

Yes this way

[rugged sand]

And I did it right

[rugged sand]

Yup 👍

[arctic kettle]

It did?

[rugged sand]

Yay! I took it all apart, cleaned it, and put it back together. (It only took ALL day.)

[tidal geyser]

the IMC is in the CPU

[tidal geyser]

it took so long i went to sleep and woke up

[rugged sand]

I can say with confidence now, that I have a better understanding of pc building. Even if it's just a little bit.

[rugged sand]

Idk what that is.

[tidal geyser]

welp lets see if you got it working again well channel b

have ram in slot 2 and 4

[arctic kettle]

[rugged sand]

I'll test it once I get the thermal paste. I technically can't boot the pc yet. Otherwise the pc will cook.

[tidal geyser]

no its fine

you just should not run it long term

[rugged sand]

It's fine if run the pc without thermal paste??

[tidal geyser]

as in boot and then look in windows if you even boot into windows how much ram you have then turn it off

[arctic kettle]

I do it on all of my builds before I put a cooler on.

[tidal geyser]

wut

i hope you mean screw the cooler on and not just bare ihs

[true stirrup]

You can comfortably go into the bios

[tidal geyser]

we are in the 2000s

[arctic kettle]

LMAO yes

[rugged sand]

Windows is already installed.

[tidal geyser]

we have protection

[tidal geyser]

i hope that is to the just putting the cooler on but not screwing

[true stirrup]

You can still go into the bios

[rugged sand]

Yeah but the pc is old 💀

[arctic kettle]

Yeah

[tidal geyser]

not that old

[rugged sand]

I mean I guess I could try it. I definitely would be more comfortable waiting for the thermal paste. It will only be a couple days.

[arctic kettle]

Emergency shutdown stuff has existed since before I was a wee lad using win xp

[rugged sand]

Alright what the heck. I'll boot the pc.

please don't explode

[true stirrup]

Even being in windows for a couple minutes wouldn't hurt your CPU

[tidal geyser]

and you at least have a cooler on

[rugged sand]

How do I check how the ram is doing?

[arctic kettle]

Should tell you in bios how much you have (nvm you said it wouldnt even boot.)

[tidal geyser]

there was a guy listing a pc on my local used market with some i7 9700 or something and when i looked at the inside pics there was just no cooler

[tidal geyser]

you get into windows

[true stirrup]

If it's not working you will not even get to bios

[tidal geyser]

your dad said it did not work with ram there aka if it now works at all it was a success

[rugged sand]

The ram just freaking fell put of the motherboard 💀

[tidal geyser]

what?

[arctic kettle]

?

what the heck

[tidal geyser]

well you kinda need to put it in for it to hold

[rugged sand]

I wasn't being careful when I took of the hold

[tidal geyser]

i have dropped ram sticks plenty of times

it does not care

[peak knot]

Some 2080ti 12gb cards showed up

[rugged sand]

I need to put them in the correct slots (both blue) then I'll attempt to boot.

[tidal geyser]

wait wut

[true stirrup]

Stock or modified?

[peak knot]

These were never released cards

Stock

[tidal geyser]

FzR what did you do

that was not the original picture first shown here a few moments ago

[peak knot]

Nah I censored it

[tidal geyser]

after

[peak knot]

Yall don’t get to see all the stuff I see

[rugged sand]

Does it matter which one goes in which slot?

[tidal geyser]

dam

[tidal geyser]

no

[rugged sand]

Why are they different colors.

[tidal geyser]

since they are different sticks

[peak knot]

Yall don’t even see half of what I see when it comes to stuff nvidia makes that shouldnt exists lol

[rugged sand]

I thought you couldn't mix and match.

[tidal geyser]

yes

[true stirrup]

You can but it's not smart

[peak knot]

But I’ve been wanting a 2080ti 12gb for some time

Very rare cards

Especially working

[tidal geyser]

o couldn't, yeah no you can but you really should not

[true stirrup]

How do these sorts of GPUs even leak onto the market?

[rugged sand]

Oh

[tidal geyser]

trash

[peak knot]

https://tenor.com/view/dont-ask-questions-that-you-dont-want-the-answer-to-dont-ask-youre-not-going-to-like-the-answer-team-four-star-gif-17069103

[tidal geyser]

or employee

[rugged sand]

Im assuming some employees who dgaf.

[rugged sand]

My guess yeah.

[tidal geyser]

no they get given them

just trash at nvidia hq

[rugged sand]

No I mean dgaf enough to keep them from the public. And sell them.

[peak knot]

Sometimes it’s e-recyclers who salvage them sometimes it’s theft, sometimes it get sold accidentally

Most common ways are reviewers and 3rd party testers sell them instead of returning them after some years

[rugged sand]

It actually booted. I don't know the password to the pc tho. I'll either have to guess or wait till the morning to ask my dad.

I have a few ideas

WAIT that means using two sticks of ram in the correct slots ACTUALLY worked. Because the pc booted.

I just gotta make sure the correct amount of ram is being used.

[true stirrup]

You can see that in bios

[rugged sand]

How do I get there?

I don't wanna run the pc too long without thermal paste.

[lapis condor]

Mash del when booting

[rugged sand]

I think you can check without going to the bios

[ripe spire]

Idk why but I always feel bad when I do this

U can also hold shift and find uefi somewhere
