cedar hollow

Hrmmm

limber nacelle
south arrow
#

Top numbers have numbers behind them

#

Def only recommend using burner solo for now* it's causing something to misread

#

Either not clearing a variable or placing two in the same slot wich either way sucks

#

Poor vert just wanted to do a simple bench

cedar hollow
#

AM Back had to finish making the mac

my fps is also low though and the benchmark is running in window mode

Bro here in Australia even 30 series cards are so expensive

#

200 USD is the equivalent of 318 AUD

#

And I’ve never seen a 3070 for that much

frail topaz
#

i found a 4070ti super for $850

stark spear
#

They are like 600-800 AUD I’m pretty sure

frail topaz
#

but idk which to get a 4070ti super or 9070xt

Eventually

#

I still need to save

Both are good

cedar hollow

Found da issue

south arrow
#

What was it?

cedar hollow
#

psa dont use voltage control in afterburner. it bricks the gpu

frail topaz

Most of the hall of famers rn are on a 9800x3d

cedar hollow

my cpu is not great atm my pbo settings are kinda fricked

I need help while I was playing call of duty my display port suddenly turned off and now I have a VGA light turned on

south arrow
#

Makes sense I just go into mine set it to all core, negative, then 20 the rest I leave at default with basic ram xmp

#

But you'll get there haven't played with that chip yet

cedar hollow
#

I can’t xmp with this ram since it’s 6400 CatDead

#

it’ll poop itself and crash

south arrow
#

That's fair still good scores if you can get it to validate it'll be off to the races. But worse case always remember to clear cmos and restart as needed. And never make bios changes at 2am lol

#

I probs won't be pushing that score anytime soon unless I get a new cpu or smth so you got all the time to slay me 😉

cedar hollow
#

forgive me for i just forego your advice and mess with bios at 2 am

south arrow
#

As long as your remember clear cmos saves all

cedar hollow
#

im actually removing my pbo

I've had my delirium days where I'd change something make it worse and spend hours until 5am like whyyy

I had a weird dream last night that I had 4 sticks of ram instead of 2, and I had to reseat whichever one’s RGB turned red, I don’t have 4 sticks of ram, my ram in my pc is also not RGB

#

i have like 20+ computers now and i do not dream about computers

#

tbh i just do not dream

modest pivot
tidal geyser
#

should have gone amd for stable drivers

hybrid tendon
#

So I was PVP against some guy on gta earlier (PC) and now when I launch GTA5 my router restarts constantly, does that smell like a DDoS?

tidal geyser
#

real fix, DDU if possible then install the latest drivers

tidal geyser
#

also no you have malware if the router RESTARTS as a DDU only overloads it not turn off or so on

tidal geyser
hybrid tendon
#

well I uninstalled GTA and I don't plan on opening it anymore, so unfortunately no

tidal geyser
#

what???

#

wait, so it only happens when playing gta?

hybrid tendon
#

It only restarts when I start loading into GTA online

#

it's so weird

tidal geyser
#

what is a restart to you

#

do you see the router turning off and on

hybrid tendon
#

everything on the network drops and the router reboots

tidal geyser
#

o wow

#

ummmmmmm

hybrid tendon
#

Like I'm chilling right now no problems

tidal geyser
#

damit now i wish i knew somebody here that works with cyber security

#

what router do you have

hybrid tendon
#

idk its the one my ISP provided

#

Can probably find out

tidal geyser
#

you said you do fkn storage topology stuff

mellow cairn
#

I have been doing sysadmin and security for over 25 years.

tidal geyser
#

nice

#

welllll, ok so what do you think is going on here

mellow cairn
#

If the router is crashing, it's the routers fault, end of story.

tidal geyser
#

well its only when playing one game

mellow cairn
#

Yes, still the routers fault.

hybrid tendon
#

Let me try playing another online game rq

mellow cairn
#

Now, my question would be how do you know it's crashing

hybrid tendon
tidal geyser
#

but why might it be shitting itself by just one game and not any other

mellow cairn
wispy thunder
#

giving what game it is might help

hybrid tendon
#

I tried logging into GTA online with a VPN and it still happened

wispy thunder
#

overheating is my first guess

tidal geyser
#

but why only gta online

hybrid tendon
mellow cairn
wispy thunder
#

What router is it?

tidal geyser
#

and now short time after a massive update its starting

mellow cairn
#

And they upgraded/changed everything

wispy thunder
#

(stg if it's an TP link Archer)

hybrid tendon
tidal geyser
wispy thunder
#

oh which one?

tidal geyser
#

already asked him to find out

mellow cairn
#

Ezpz, contact your ISP, tell them their shit is fucked

tidal geyser

if this is a actual RCE or some other bullshit then this is REALLY bad

#

Ah okokk

#

two things

#

have you tried unplugging it manually and letting it cool down for a few minutes

#

and are you sure you have clean wall power there

hybrid tendon
#

Yes. It's been running fine for a month, and the router doesn't show any logs indicating overheating problems

#

Still looking through the logs

#

yeah idk tbh this is probably just a contact ISP moment

tidal geyser
#

have you tried to update it to the latest firmware

hybrid tendon
tidal geyser
#

well ok yeah looks like its a router issue, might be something like the ipv6 table filling up on yours when you use gta online that then makes the router shit itself

Hello everyone, not sure if this is good place to ask but when undervolting say a 14900KF since I use an ASUS mobile I have this Global Core SVID Voltage that I usually set to Adaptive with a negative offset of -0.1 my question is how much more can you undervolt it before it starts to cause instability? Like could I do -0.2 for example

You can overclock ram?

That sounded way more authoratative than I meant it

Frequency is not the whole story is the thing
Yeah sure 6000 c30-36-36-76 kit will get you 80% of the way there but the last 20% is a bunch of subtimings

I had the foresight to double check with people to make sure I wasn't doing something stupid

median warren
#

dont you just love getting overkill components and not overclocking?

#

aesthetics go crazy

bronze jay
#

It's not about aesthetics

#

I wanted something that would last a while because I don't think I'm going to be able to afford nice things ever again

median warren
#

i mean like for an example getting an average air cooler and then getting a 420mm aio and not even using it to its full potential

median warren
#

tbh im the believer of, if buying this rather than this even if its not the most optimal component makes you happy and works for you

#

it is the best choice

honest gulch
#

Also, you don't really want to use any of your cooling to it's fullest potential cuz then it gets loud

Is the PG27AQN the best 1440p IPS monitor for gaming and competitive gaming, or can I find something better? I don’t want an OLED.

gloomy sleet
#

why don’t you want an oled

#

i’m gonna guess the fake burn in problem

#

for £600 i’d highly recommend just getting an oled

bronze jay
#

The burn in problem isn't fake it just takes a long time

#

I got an LCD for the same reason

stiff lichen
#

OLEDs still have a tendency to burn in, and I don’t want to deal with that since I work too much with static images. Even if it takes a long time, when I buy a new monitor in a few years, this one will be my second or third, so I don’t want to risk burn-in.

gloomy sleet
gloomy sleet
#

it takes atleast like 5 years of it staying on the same image for it to burn in

#

you have absolutely nothing to worry about if it isn’t on the same image/page for multiple days at a time

#

getting an lcd for that budget is straight up idiotic

stiff lichen
#

For four days a week, I can have Excel and similar programs open for 8+ hours a day, along no stop with a browser and various other applications. I want a monitor that I don’t have to worry about—one where leaving an image on for a long time won’t damage it, and I don’t have to be overly cautious to keep it from breaking. Later, in a few years, I plan to use it as my second or third monitor, so I expect it to last around 8 years.

sinful cobalt
lapis condor
bronze jay
#

Again, I don't know if I'll ever be able to afford nice things again

#

I live in America

#

So I wanted something that would last until it was cheap to replace

#

If I had any hope for the future I would have gotten OLED

Is there a way to troubleshoot a pc when smelling something burning in it? Temps on pc are fine and no issues with stuttering or crashing either. This all started when I installed an MSI 5080 Shadow 3x GPU btw. I’m using the 12v 2x6 from my Corsair RMe 1000w btw.

#

On day 3 now and I still smell a plastic burning smell

bronze jay
#

Take the GPU out and smell it

#

I'm serious, see if that's where the smell is coming from

sharp blaze
#

If it’s coming from there is there any concern or will it go away? Have read online new gpus/pc parts can give off a burn smell on load

bronze jay
#

It's absolutely a concern are you seriously asking that

#

It could catch fire and burn down your whole house

bronze jay

I didn't know that actually. I've never heard of that

Hi, I consider buying 9950x3d along with a new mobo. I will upgrade my setup from 12900K to it. I was wondering which mobo is a great fit to get maximum out of it. I have 4TB (2x2) Raid 0 nvme and I require 6+ USB, and I dislike Asrock (had way many issues previously). Optical output for sound and good internet port for VR usage is crucial too. WiFi is advantage but not requires. I do overclock the system if possible
