[solid crown]

you dont lol

[blazing quiver]

im not trying to tax evade i swear

[west violet]

america moment

[solid crown]

that would be tax evasion since youre not a business

[blazing quiver]

well how do they know

[west violet]

they always know

[blazing quiver]

maybe i got a rubber rod making business

[solid crown]

because you registered as a business and submitted a tax exemption form

[blazing quiver]

on the website?

[solid crown]

then you never sell the cpu

so the government would know

[blazing quiver]

ye im trying to keep it not to sell

[solid crown]

you cant use the cpu for personal use if you submit tax exemption form

its only for reselling

[blazing quiver]

*for a customer

alright ill just find a way to get some money

[steel umbra]

i smell tax evasion

[solid crown]

literally dont upgrade its not an upgrade

waste of money, save for a 5700x3d at least

[random gyro]

Okay so why does the alt key turn my pc into sleep mode

[mellow cairn]

That looks like a good idea, especially as it is really a shim, rather than a custom format.

[blazing quiver]

nah the 5600 is faster than my cpu

[solid crown]

yeah 5-10%

thats not worth it

[blazing quiver]

on paper my cpu is better but the 5600 is faster

also is the rebar thing called resize BAR?

[solid crown]

yes

[bronze jay]

I'm on Linux Mint KDE and every time I put my computer to sleep and wake it back up OpenRGB stops working and I have to click apply to all devices again

[solid crown]

yeah by 5-10%

thats literally not worth it at all

[blazing quiver]

alright thank u

[random gyro]

It was after I accidentally poured my drink onto the keyboard but I dried it off

[blazing quiver]

alright so i should get a 5700x

[solid crown]

5700x3d

[turbid shore]

Can anyone help ?

[blazing quiver]

thats quite a bit of money that i dont have tho

[turbid shore]

What's going on ?

[bronze jay]

just stop being poor

easy

[blazing quiver]

if u dont mind slipping me a quick £100 i wouldnt mind yk

[bronze jay]

What you have to do is manifest it into existence. I have $100. I have $100. When I open my wallet there will be $100.

[random gyro]

idk why the alt key keeps turning my pc off bruh

[blazing quiver]

shortcut possibly

[bronze jay]

That's hilarious

[peak knot]

[random gyro]

not rlly cuz its brand new

i got it a couple months ago

[bronze jay]

I mean it sucks but it's funny

[blazing quiver]

go to shortcuts

[bronze jay]

It's like a prank

[peak knot]

i did a thing, i gave this device the beans from my benchtop psu and recorded it on my thermal camera

[random gyro]

i plugged my other keyboard in

it doesnt do it

[solid crown]

mb the 5600x is 15% faster than the 3800x on average, the 5700x3d would be like 40% faster though

[blazing quiver]

Also what does the above 4g decoding do, do I enable it

[blazing quiver]

Ye but it’s like £100 more

[left dove]

yes

[solid crown]

idk but the gigabyte website says to enable it along with rebar so

[bronze jay]

What is a 5600x

[blazing quiver]

A cpu

[bronze jay]

ah

[blazing quiver]

Ryzen 5 5600

[bronze jay]

Sounds decent

I have a 9 5900x and it's completely overkill

[blazing quiver]

It does sound like it

I got a r7 3800x but I want to upgrade

And it’s also basically 1am and I need to go sleep

[bronze jay]

ryzen 5 is better than ryzen 7??

[blazing quiver]

Depends which one

[bronze jay]

Why do you need to upgrade the cpu

those are usually good for a long time

[blazing quiver]

I don’t get as much fps as I want to

[bronze jay]

And that's a cpu issue?

[blazing quiver]

Yep

It’s not a bad cpu but I want to get a better one

[formal sonnet]

Bingo. Tis why I went with it vs. doing any kind of actual RAID. If I ever have a drive failure or a complete system failure, I can just connect the remaining working drives to another system and have instant access to the data.

[random gyro]

Does the GTA V QuantV graphic Mod Work with the GTA V enhanced Version ?

[blazing quiver]

I don’t think any mods work on new gta

[formal sonnet]

https://www.dsogaming.com/patches/gta-5-enhanced-edition-march-6th-patch-released-detailed/

[random gyro]

Oh thats sad. Ok with graphic mods this Game still Looks 1000x better than the enhanced Version.

[stiff nebula]

How does the 9800x3d perform in productivity tasks like blender?

[steel umbra]

it will do, how much of it?

[odd marsh]

I mean a 9950X will crush it

[stiff nebula]

Im still debating of whether to get the 9800x3d or the 9950x3d for gaming/productivity.

[odd marsh]

How much blender do you do

[latent pasture]

bruh just check any review

[solid crown]

are you making money with your productivity tasks?

[stiff nebula]

I did and Im just asking you guys opinions about it

[stiff nebula]

Nope

[solid crown]

9800x3d everyday

you can wait a minute longer

[bronze jay]

Is there a way I can get notifications for file copy and paste in Linux? My new drive is so fast it finishes before the gui can load and I can't tell if it did anything.

[stiff nebula]

Im upgrading from a 10th gen intel i5 so I couldnt really tell (everything is ways better than it)

[wide mesa]

anybody know why a monitor might start showing lines randomly ?? I’ve already diagnosed that its not a gpu problem

most likely a monitor problem

yesterday I was just letting my pc idle and lines just started appearing

[formal sonnet]

Monitor LCD panel or another component inside the monitor is defective in some way.

[formal sonnet]

Simplest way to test this theory is to connect another known-good working devices (game console, laptop, another computer) to the monitor and see if the problem still occurs. If it does, it's the monitor.

[wide mesa]

damn thats a bummer considering I spent $200 on this monitor 💔. it was a 1440p 180hz ips asrock panel

[wide mesa]

yeaa I just connected it from my pc to my ps5, & it replicated the same issue

[formal sonnet]

Amount of money spent != quality product. EVER. Look at BMW's - they're expensive, and yet somehow always breaking down / needing copious amounts of expensive mechanic work. /s (but like, also... not /s)

[wintry raft]

Anyone have any sites they like for showing off PC builds? PC Part Picker has a nice interface but I don't like how you have to be logged in to view anything. I hopped on the builds.gg train when LTT did the promo but it seems like it's not updated anymore and the parts list is abysmal

[gleaming rose]

:3

[vast hare]

do i change gpu fan curves in bios or a downloaded software (I alr have nzxt cam, should i uninstall and install fan controll on keep both)

[gleaming rose]

for the gpu you do it in software

i would use afterburner personally, nzxt is trash

[stiff nebula]

Actually how much cores is enough cores? I feel like the 16 cores of the 9950x3d will help in the future

[formal sonnet]

I don't have to login to view Completed Builds? https://pcpartpicker.com/builds/

[vast hare]

so uninstall nzxt

and instal fan control

[gleaming rose]

fan control is fine but i prefer afterburner

[gilded sparrow]

can someo who knows pcs very well help me in vc

[gleaming rose]

no

[proper gull]

No

[gilded sparrow]

like i need help vadly

[mellow cairn]

no

[gleaming rose]

who is vadly

[gilded sparrow]

my case fans wont turn on

dont know issue

[gleaming rose]

maybe because your motherboard doesnt think they need to be on?

[gilded sparrow]

first build

[gleaming rose]

it's not that big a deal unless your pc is overheating

you'll be fine

[gilded sparrow]

I need to verify they are working

[gleaming rose]

im gonna go play beat saber now bye

[gilded sparrow]

how do i manually turn these on

[proper gull]

If you're not willing to make a post in #1027757333117415424, explain your issue clearly in text, and then wait patiently for someone willing to help, then you clearly don't need help that badly.

[thorny saddle]

what if your PC is fine but you're sweaty

[wintry raft]

Let me clarify, I want a site where people can click on a link to my profile and see all the PC builds I have done

[proper gull]

Make the site

[thorny saddle]

its called pcpp

just make your builds public

[proper gull]

And then either dedicate a bunch of unpaid time to maintaining it, or figure out a way to monetise it so it's not unpaid

[wintry raft]

Even if my builds are public, you have to be logged in to view my profile. And when you are logged in, the list doesn't have pictures

[proper gull]

and this is why what you want doesn't exist

[thorny saddle]

Just post those links on a landing page

[wintry raft]

That's actually not a bad idea, just make a website that aggregates links and I can put my own pictures too

[thorny saddle]

yeah

wtf amd

[wintry raft]

I just really really like the builds.gg interface. It's a shame it didn't take off more

[thorny saddle]

textures are barfed AMD

[sleek ibex]

I was going to say why not use builds.gg

[wintry raft]

They don't update it anymore and you basically have to manually add in every part. Like they didn't even have the 9950X3D when I tried today

[weak creek]

How do company like Terabox give 1 TB storage per account for free? Shouldn't the company go bankrupt by now?

[vast hare]

for gpu only or for both gpu, aio pump and fan

[gleaming rose]

afterburner is gpu only

[vast hare]

ok

[vast hare]

whyat u use for cpu

[gleaming rose]

i dont use windows man

[vast hare]

oh

[azure topaz]

so like

[sleek ibex]

Ah that's unfortunate. The biggest one up for me is that they had you put in some of the custom watercooling components in there which PCPP doesn't have (or well..... builds.gg isn't the most perfect way of doing it but you get the idea)

[azure topaz]

if i wanted to move to linux but virtualize windows could i run hypervisor on like 4 ecores and do 8+12 in window

[formal sonnet]

Likely a combination of ads, slow download speeds, poor video quality, and the likelihood that they're selling your data if you're a free customer. (Though they probably also sell / harvest your data on the paid tier too - they're owned by Baidu.)
https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/n0b35f/1tb_free_cloud_storage_offered_by_terabox_is/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TeraBox

Most of these "super cheap" or "free tier" storage hosting services either don't stick around forever, or are doing nefarious things to keep themselves afloat. Tis why I don't recommend them if you need to store confidential or important data.

[vast hare]

i have a pc so which of these should i uninstall

[gaunt wagon]

I bought the Sabrent M.2 NVMe ssd to pcie x16 adapter for my new ssd because I only have 2 slots, one for my boot ssd and my other for my ssd that all my games are on, but my issue is that my pc isn't detecting the ssd in the pcie slot

[upper agate]

are these temps starting to rear toward the danger zone or am i safe to keep steadily increasing?

sorry btw im overclocking

[sharp ivy]

Check polarity

[strange atlas]

I wonder if its possible to get 180+ fps on valorant with rx 6800 and ryzen 5 5600

[halcyon plank]

Is it worth trading my 4070 TI oc windforce for a msi 5070ti ventus I’ll be throwing on like $300 cash

[strange atlas]

i wouldnt do it its a really bad deal in my opinion

[halcyon plank]

only reason im thinking about it bc of the v ram

[strange atlas]

But i dont know your country so may asking somebody from your country may be better

[halcyon plank]

US

[blazing quiver]

Do u guys think if I bought a r5 5600 off of aliexpress for like £60 would I be able to make money off it

[strange atlas]

actually might not be really bad deal if you can get like second hand 4070ti in your country with 350 dollars

Then it might be a good deal

[halcyon plank]

no cant get it anywhere for that price

[strange atlas]

how much is second hand 4070ti

[halcyon plank]

i can get a 3070 for 300 maybe

[halcyon plank]

prob going for around 5-600

[strange atlas]

then it might be a good deal go for it if you have money

still i wouldnt do it but you can do it

[halcyon plank]

more actually like 700 and higher

[bronze jay]

I'm confused. Is there something different than bitdefender I should be using for Linux? Their only option for Linux is some enterprise solution.

(not my screenshot)

[terse canopy]

Maybe ClamAV?

[bronze jay]

I find that paid options usually work better

But I guess I can look into it

[gleaming rose]

you dont need antivirus on linux

[bronze jay]

bullshit

[gleaming rose]

clamav is for mail servers mostly

[dark comet]

What keyboards do you guys recommend? Ones that aren't crazy expensive but are solid

[bronze jay]

People also say you don't need antivirus for windows

[gleaming rose]

nope, not bullshit
the only viruses on linux target enterprises hence the limited availability in the consumer space

[bronze jay]

I don't want to be careful because I shouldn't have to

[gleaming rose]

thats because windows has windows defender

[bronze jay]

I should be able to do whatever I want

[gleaming rose]

windows has an antivirus built in, and it uses the same engine as any ofher

linux doesn't have antiviruses because you pretty much can't even get malware as long as you don't try

[bronze jay]

I'd feel safer if I also ran a seperate antivirus program

[gleaming rose]

good for you

[bronze jay]

that's the point, I want to not get a virus even if I try

[gleaming rose]

the only viable option on linux is KVRT

[bronze jay]

Bitdefender did that for me

[gleaming rose]

even if you try it's hard

[bronze jay]

Ah

Is KVRT expensive?

[gleaming rose]

it's kaspersky and it's a virus removal tool not an antivirus
but it's free

and also doesn't do shit because you won't be getting malware

[bronze jay]

Psh if I already have a virus i don't need a reactive tool

I want a proactive one

[gleaming rose]

https://www.amazon.com/Common-Sense-Little-Books-Wisdom/dp/1557094586

enjoy

[bronze jay]

You can be as smug as you want I don't have to prove anything to you

[gleaming rose]

I'm being smug because you're being an idiot

I have gone down this exact same path

[bronze jay]

It's just hard for me to believe because people are equally adamant that windows doesn't need av

[gleaming rose]

Looked for antiviruses on linux, only to realize that they don't exist because linux malware doesn't target me

[gleaming rose]

because windows has one BUILT IN

[bronze jay]

Have you ever gotten a virus?

[bronze jay]

yeah and it's not as good as bitdefender

[gleaming rose]

and malware targets windows users because they're the most common

[bronze jay]

This is true

[gleaming rose]

it is the same database wtf are you on about

[gleaming rose]

on linux? nope never

and I'm pretty reckless

[bronze jay]

I've gotten viruses on windows and then I got bitdefender and hadn't had any problems since. I switched to Linux a couple of days ago.

So maybe they use the same database but I still believe my point stands, in regards to windows

I used to use malwarebytes. It didn't do SHIT.

[gleaming rose]

well you're on linux now

[bronze jay]

I'm not trying to be stubborn. I'm just scared.

[gleaming rose]

if you don't trust your common sense go see a therapist

if it says free robux it's probavly lying

[bronze jay]

I never considered that. I always thought I could get free robux

[gleaming rose]

most things on linux are open source - you cannot get malware from the package repository on your distro or flathub except in edge cases

those edge cases being vulnerabilities that get patched

[bronze jay]

I'm still going to do some research but now I'm leaning more into the idea that I don't need one

[bronze jay]

"On Linux, it is harder for the virus to get system-level access. This is because the root account owns system-related files. Therefore, if infected, viruses can be easily removed as they can only affect the user account where they were installed and do not affect the root account.

In other words, the Linux architecture makes it almost impossible for a virus to do anything. This is one of the main reasons we still don’t need antivirus software on Linux."

Guess I'll just skip it

Thanks for your time

Essentially it comes down to the fact that viruses can't sneak around the user and most people don't use linux

[graceful girder]

I have arisen

@elder quarry @frail topaz mornin

[strange atlas]

My new monitor will arrive in 7-8 hours what kinda tests i should do to check if everything about it is healthy

[vast hare]

should my aio pump be at constant speed or have a curve

[swift moss]

If it's ain't the fans then it doesn't really matter

Max it out lol

[bronze jay]

My taskbar is frozen

[swift moss]

More cooling always better

[swift moss]

Kill explorer.exe and restart it

[bronze jay]

I added a widget to track my cpu usage and then selected stacked graphs

[swift moss]

Oh lol

[bronze jay]

I'm on linux

I need help this is stressing me out

[swift moss]

Undo widget then

[bronze jay]

I can't right click my taskbar

nothing happens it's dead

[swift moss]

Nothing should stress Linux users of all people about a broken system 😭😭

[bronze jay]

I just switched

I am force restarting

[swift moss]

Aight

[bronze jay]

I managed to open the system monitor settings before it froze but now my mouse is frozen

This is bullshit

[mellow cairn]

Plug it in. Use it.

[bronze jay]

Bob help please

[steady pulsar]

is there any silient 75% keyboard on aliexpress for cheap

like 50 and under

[bronze jay]

I'm going to try to force restart again and kill it before it freezes

It only takes about a minute

It fucking worked

I wanted to do a system monitor bar graph like openhwmonitor

Now my mouse just keeps freezing for no reason

[analog widget]

i am haveing this problem with my reaper is that my guitar sounds realy crunch and i have no idea why

[bronze jay]

Oh, it's my entire system. Wonderful.

[mellow cairn]

Yes

[weak creek]

Is it a sustainable way to profit? Even with nefarious methods?

[formal sonnet]

IDK. I don't operate such a company. Intuition says no, but who knows what goes on behind the scenes.

[swift moss]

Diy keeb

[swift moss]

Yes

Clearly if they have been in business for a couple of years 😭😭

Some companies use loss leaders

[bronze jay]

I would never trust 1tb for free

[swift moss]

I would

[whole garden]

Same

[swift moss]

I wouldn't put private info on gdrive either

[bronze jay]

That's different

Obviously we all use google

[swift moss]

Why wouldn't you trust 1tb if all you doing is putting txts on there

[swift moss]

What are you on about?

I don't use google

[bronze jay]

I wouldn't trust them not to erase it

It doesn't feel sustainable

[swift moss]

Like iCloud unerased lewd photos?

[swift moss]

Kinda does ngl, chrome earns millions per year despite being free

[bronze jay]

I mean I'd be more likely to trust that a massive corporation wouldn't delete it

[swift moss]

Well yeah ig

But a tb vs 15gb is A difference

[bronze jay]

Google has infinite resources

[strange atlas]

I mean gotta check things like dead pixels, ghosting, light leaks and all you dont just buy it and use it

[swift moss]

Huhhh

[swift moss]

Na I just buy and use

[bronze jay]

Not literally ffs

[strange atlas]

Isnt that weird

[bronze jay]

I was able to get the system monitors removed by repeatedly force restarting my computer and removing each one before it could freeze

[strange atlas]

We are paying so much for these things why not check if its actually non bad product

[frail delta]

Because if it's a bad product, you won't have to inspect it for hours to know it's bad

[swift moss]

This

[strange atlas]

Aight

[mellow cairn]

Because I have other shit to do

[frail delta]

Lol

For the few things that LLMs are good for, I prefer Gemini

[weak creek]

what's that?

[thin oak]

yeah sorry the place where this was has been changed

[swift moss]

1 product they sell at a loss to attract upgrades and for you to spend more money at their business

Say like a razor and razor blades

[frail delta]

Wrong

[thin oak]

My luck is so bad, I visited the site 3-4 times but didn't saw this option but the moment I say those words, I automatically saw that option, that's why I deleted the message

[frail delta]

You're so close, but not there. That's called the razor and blades model 😉

I always thought of loss leaders to be more of things to "get people in the door" and hopefully buy other things

[carmine wigeon]

I question what I was thinking when I decided to start this project

[thin oak]

there is one particular channel in a server, which is keep using a tag whole day to inform all, but the problem I don't want to see the updates happening in there

so what can I do to mute it, make those red pop up number disappear without leaving that server?

[bronze jay]

One thing that's really nice about having a super fast drive is being able to restart my computer on a whim because it will be finished in less than a minute

[gilded sparrow]

wth is a halo fan?

I’ll get a pic of the new one in the morning

I'm sorry. I appear hostile, but I'm just honest

[drowsy flame]

Yeah no worries I get it nothing personal lol

Pc cases are a very personal decision when it comes to a build, not everyone is gonna have the same aesthetic preferences and that’s okay. If everyone had the same aesthetic preferences then pc case makers would only make one kind of case and everyone would have the same thing

Huge question guys, I'm here waiting for a $500 US DLLS refund and I'm looking foward into upgrading my PC
Current Specs:
Ryzen 7 5800x
32 GB of DDR4 3200 mhz
tuf gaming b450m-plus II
3060 TI as GPU
Corsair RM850X as PSU
And I want to upgrade my PC for better FPS while playing+streaming THE FINALS or BO6
With those $500, should I buy a new GPU like the 4070 super? Then sell the old one and get a Ryzen 7 5700x3D
Or get a second hand components from marketplace
Found a Ryzen 7 7800x3D for $326
32 GB of DDR5 5600Mhz for $70
And a Pro B650M-A WIFI for $100

[bright anvil]

Yea that is about it plus fortnite and the new Indian Jones game

[bright anvil]

Both sound good on the face I would assume go GPU

[random gyro]

I'd personally go with a gpu, maybe sell your 3060 too and get best gpu possible

[bright anvil]

I take it you are a WAN show group? Listening to them rn to fall asleep

That's a decent price for auckland

900 if he cancels the warranty 😂

LTT video idea “things you can use as a pc case that aren’t a pc case”

[bright anvil]

😶😶😶 dude oh no

[wet atlas]

Yeah rip

[bright anvil]

Have you tried updating bios?

On a ups!!!

[wet atlas]

No need

But no I haven’t

[bright anvil]

I would give it a go

[wet atlas]

K I’ll see if it needs an update

[bright anvil]

Worth a shot maby rou got bad bios

You

[wet atlas]

I don’t think so

[outer marlin]

Very good 960 ( don’t worry the supplemental power was shorting 12v to ground)

[azure topaz]

its a 960 i wouldnt have cared anyways

[bronze jay]

I prefer halo fans because they are more minimalistic

[drowsy flame]

Yee same

[formal sonnet]

Rather than spamming channels with "help", it's better to create a #1027757333117415424 thread for problems like this so that all troubleshooting steps are kept in one location for easy reference, and to not clutter up the regular chats. Ensure you include as much information as possible, like your complete system specs, error messages seen, any steps you've already tried, and photos, where applicable.

[bronze jay]

They're an accent

[drowsy flame]

I think halo fans just look a lot cleaner

[bronze jay]

if a fan has light up blades, I won't buy it

[bronze jay]

exactly

[drowsy flame]

This is my new cpu cooler, has both a halo and light up blades but it works because it’s in the case, the other fans on the case are only halos

[drowsy flame]

Plus the animation patterns look so good when used with a good RGB animation software like signal RGB

[drowsy flame]

If you set them up properly you can get really cool patterns

[bronze jay]

Speaking of animations, I was really enjoying SignalRGB

But I switched to Linux a few days ago and now I can't use it which is really upsetting. I liked it so much I got the premium version

So now I'm back to using solid colors, which is fine, I guess. It's not enough to make me want to go back to corporate OS

[drowsy flame]

Yeahhhh I’ve thought about making the switch to Linux for a while but the terrible rgb control is one of the many things preventing me

[bronze jay]

From what I've seen so far it's still shit

[drowsy flame]

You could run windows in a vm to control things that can’t be controlled with Linux

[bronze jay]

If RGB is important to you, stay on windows

OMG

That's a really good idea

But how much resources will it take

[drowsy flame]

It’s not the most important to me, not as important as things like drivers working and games running properly and not being yeeted with anti cheat software

[bronze jay]

Artemis is supposed to be like SignalRGB but I can't get it to work properly

[drowsy flame]

Probably a single core and 2 gigs of ram. It could be a background process basically

Plus having a windows vm available for emergencies is usually a good idea anyways on Linux

[bronze jay]

I have an r9 5900x with 32gb so that would be fine

[azure topaz]

windows does not idle at 2 gigs

not without fucking with it a lot, and cusstom windows is gross

[bronze jay]

I think you need at least 4

[drowsy flame]

It can use very little actually, tiny11 would get it down to 2 probably

[bronze jay]

I just miss my SignalRGB

[drowsy flame]

Valid, I love mine, I have my layout pretty perfectly set up now

[bronze jay]

As for the anticheat, it either works or it doesn't. I'm not going to beg corporations for the privilege of giving them my money.

I'm okay with not playing some games. Steam has proton.

[drowsy flame]

I have windows still but let’s just say Microsoft isn’t making money from me

[bronze jay]

I just dealt with the watermark until it disappeared for some reason. It didn't bother me.

[inland canopy]

Fact fr

[bronze jay]

It disappeared for me like how Linus can't see ads, and then I guess they removed it

[inland canopy]

Just switched to windows recently from linux for uni, and damn is it bad

[bronze jay]

What have you noticed

[drowsy flame]

If you get a very de bloated version of windows it can be run on almost anything

[inland canopy]

Its trash
I had a full sway setup, and keyboard shortcuts for everything
I feel like windows is just a touch based os

doesnt feel like a computer os

[bronze jay]

I wouldn't call it bad so much as locked down and bloated

I guess that IS bad

What I mean is that I would still tell family members to use windows

[drowsy flame]

Honestly I really liked Mac OS except for some of the quirks it had

I used to daily drive a Mac and it was great except when it wasn’t

[bronze jay]

It's a lot better for people who don't want to learn about computers

[inland canopy]

fair point

[bronze jay]

Adapting to Linux has been a process so far. I'm willing to do it, but it's not for everyone.

[inland canopy]

Lol

[bronze jay]

The hardest part is not being able to use exe files anymore

[drowsy flame]

Yeah, Linux is great if you don’t value your time and you’re okay with learning how to do everything yourself

[bronze jay]

Mint KDE is really not that hard

[inland canopy]

Maybe its just me but i prefer linux package managers

[bronze jay]

It's just different

[inland canopy]

Its easier and saves time

[bronze jay]

I don't know what that means

[drowsy flame]

Mint is nice, I’ve used it before

[inland canopy]

What distro are you on?

[bronze jay]

What are you on now, Ubuntu

[bronze jay]

Mint KDE

[inland canopy]

You got apt

[bronze jay]

It's like windows but it's Linux

[drowsy flame]

I have a bootable usb of mint but I keep windows as my main OS

[bronze jay]

Why even do that

I'd rather run windows from an SSD than mint from a flashdrive

[drowsy flame]

Just in case I ever feel like using Linux for a while but I don’t wanna actually install it

[bronze jay]

Why though like what's the point

What do you mean you "feel like using Linux"

Like what makes it worth your time to boot from a flash drive

[bronze jay]

What are you on

[inland canopy]

Arch Linux

[bronze jay]

Why arch? Isn't it really hard?

[drowsy flame]

Nothing in particular, I mean, sometimes I just feel like trying something different for a while or if I wanna hop on tor I’ll usually use my bootable usb of mint so my main windows machine isn’t at risk.

[bronze jay]

Is it genuinely easier for you after learning or do you just like that you can do things that other people can't

[bronze jay]

Which mint

[drowsy flame]

Cinnamon

[bronze jay]

Cinnamon is buggy trash. All it did was piss me off until e told me to switch to KDE and it was so much better

[drowsy flame]

22.1

[bronze jay]

Yes 22.1

[wet atlas]

Can anyone help me

[drowsy flame]

I’ve had a couple minor issues with it but for me it’s been okay ish

[bronze jay]

I switched to Linux only a few days ago

I hate cinnamon

[wet atlas]

I can’t select the boot drive

[drowsy flame]

In the bios?

[wet atlas]

Yea

[bronze jay]

Show us your bios and we will go from there

[drowsy flame]

^

[bronze jay]

Try using KDE you will probably like it better. It doesn't make me angry like cinnamon did

I can find you the command if you want. It won't mess up your file system

[bronze jay]

That's the same bios I have

[wet atlas]

Good

[bronze jay]

Search boot in the top right and send us another picture

[drowsy flame]

Actually I don’t have anything installed on my copy of mint. It wipes itself back to stock whenever rebooted.

[wet atlas]

O

[drowsy flame]

Security reasons

[wet atlas]

K

[bronze jay]

More reason to try kde

[drowsy flame]

I’ll consider it possibly lol, what does it do exactly?

[bronze jay]

That's the one

[bronze jay]

Now change boot 1 to whatever you want to boot from

If 1 doesn't work it will try 2 and so on, that's what the boot order means

Why is your wall glitching

Do you live in a texture error

[wet atlas]

It doesn’t show me any of my drives

[bronze jay]

What kind of drive do you use

[wet atlas]

SSD

[bronze jay]

This is probably not a bios error

What kind of SSD. Is it SATA or m.2

[wet atlas]

Sata

[bronze jay]

Double check the connections on both sides

[wet atlas]

Did

Twice

[bronze jay]

What the fuck.

This is beyond my scope. Sorry

[wet atlas]

Darn

[bronze jay]

Can you try another sata cable

[random gyro]

was about to say that

[wet atlas]

I have

[bronze jay]

FUCK

[random gyro]

damn

turn it off and turn it back on

[bronze jay]

Obviously he did that

[wet atlas]

Tried

[drowsy flame]

Your SSD might be cooked

[wet atlas]

Nope

[cyan latch]

So my PC works as normal but the White VGA Q-Led is on, I haven't used this PC in around 2 years and don't remember it being on

[wet atlas]

Worked on my other pc 20 minutes ago

[bronze jay]

If you try again in like 8 hours there will be more people in chat

[bronze jay]

Can you try connecting to a different SATA port

[random gyro]

try a different SATA port

[wet atlas]

Did

[bronze jay]

Jinx you owe me a soda

[random gyro]

what kind

[wet atlas]

The purple one

[bronze jay]

Fanta

[random gyro]

nah you're getting lean now

[bronze jay]

I have two random bruises on my leg

[bronze jay]

Good

[wet atlas]

I don’t think is the ssds fault

[bronze jay]

Add fentanyl

[bronze jay]

I don't think so either

But I also don't think it's your bios

[wet atlas]

Cuz I just can’t even find where to change the boot drive

[bronze jay]

I think it's a hardware problem somehow

[wet atlas]

No

[random gyro]

try unplugging all your usb

[wet atlas]

I doubt it

[bronze jay]

Is it possible that your sata power isn't working

[wet atlas]

All but keyboard usb

[random gyro]

yes

[wet atlas]

Perchance

[bronze jay]

Can you try plugging it into your other computer's power supply

Plug it into your other computer's power supply and leave it on, then plug it into the first computer's sata port and see if it boots

[wet atlas]

To much work ☹️

[bronze jay]

That or not know what the issue is. It's a process.

[wet atlas]

True

It’s also clicking

[bronze jay]

You don't get to not put in the work. So are you doing it because if not I'm going to bed

[bronze jay]

Clicking? Wtf

[wet atlas]

Yea….

[bronze jay]

The SSD?

[wet atlas]

No

Prolly the aio

[bronze jay]

Thank God

Now try plugging it into that other power supply while I still have the patience to help you

[bronze jay]

I'm tired

[wet atlas]

💀

Wonderful

[bronze jay]

It's something spinning

[wet atlas]

Yeah the pump

[bronze jay]

You might need to add more water

[wet atlas]

How

[bronze jay]

Aios sometimes lose water

[wet atlas]

It’s brand new

[bronze jay]

I don't know how

[wet atlas]

Hmm

Imma try bios update

[bronze jay]

Make sure the wire isn't touching any fan blades

[wet atlas]

How tho

[bronze jay]

Extremely risky

[wet atlas]

I have

[bronze jay]

If anything goes wrong you're cooked

[wet atlas]

Why?

[bronze jay]

Because it's writing to the motherboard.

[wet atlas]

It’s just a bios update

[true stirrup]

Updating the bios isn't risky unless you have very frequent power outages

[bronze jay]

The computer can't run without bios, so if the bios is corrupted, it can't work

[wet atlas]

U don’t

[bronze jay]

This is true

I just wouldn't risk it

[wet atlas]

I’m aware

[bronze jay]

And you can't fix the bios if you can't get into the computer

And that's why if something goes wrong you're fucked

[wet atlas]

It won’t tho

I just need to know how

[bronze jay]

You're right it probably won't

[wet atlas]

To do the update

[true stirrup]

If you never had a power outage and one happens while updating the bios you might as well go play some jackpot

[wet atlas]

I have the bios version downloaded onto a usb

Do I unzip

[bronze jay]

I just don't gamble in any way. I won't even bet a dollar. I don't like risks.

[random gyro]

I think that's more similar to getting shat on by a pigeon. I wouldn't call that luck

[true stirrup]

No you just boot into the bios and select the update option and the device containing the file

[bronze jay]

Ideally a flash drive

[wet atlas]

Ok

[true stirrup]

I won 100€ the last time I got shat on by a pigeon

[wet atlas]

It is

[true stirrup]

Oh I have the exact same motherboard

[random gyro]

I wouldn't call that money tho

[wet atlas]

Nice

[bronze jay]

I have a similar one but higher end

[wet atlas]

Quit flexing

💀

[bronze jay]

I'm not flexing

[true stirrup]

Alright boot into the bios go into advanced mode and on the bottom left you have a button called M-flash. Just click that select the USB and you are done

[random gyro]

unless you live in lala land, that's bad

[bronze jay]

I'm saying that I'm familiar with how yours probably works

[wet atlas]

Imma watch a vid on how

To bios update

It says to unzip

[true stirrup]

It got deposited straight into my bank from winning a money giving event from the radio. I call that money

[bronze jay]

I mean it's not much to brag about anyway. It's am4

[random gyro]

Oh, I see. My bad

Uhm, are you planning to get rich?

[bronze jay]

So what you need to do is take a long knife and stab the motherboard repeatedly as hard as you can

That will scare the viruses away and then you'll be able to use it without them

[wet atlas]

Noted

[bronze jay]

What the fuck is wrong with your walls

[wet atlas]

It’s my curtains

Breh

There ugly

[bronze jay]

It's a portal to the bathrooms

Glitch in the matrix

Only Andrew Tate can help you escape

[wet atlas]

Well

Bios has been updated

[bronze jay]

Is it detecting your drive yet

[wet atlas]

Wait who said they have the same mobo

[wet atlas]

No

[bronze jay]

This is stressing me out

[wet atlas]

Yes

[true stirrup]

I did

[bronze jay]

I'm sorry you have to deal with this bullshit

[wet atlas]

It’s not even my pc 🙂

[bronze jay]

That's a little better

[wet atlas]

Could I call u and try and show you what I’m seeing

[bronze jay]

Try using the other power supply like I suggested

[wet atlas]

I did

[bronze jay]

Ugh

[wet atlas]

Same thing

[bronze jay]

I'm literally out of ideas

[wet atlas]

Not the psu

[true stirrup]

If you can't see your drive in the bios it's most likely dead or the cable/SATA port is faulty

[bronze jay]

This is close to the point where I would throw my hands up and say take it to a professional

[wet atlas]

I live on an island

[bronze jay]

That's gotta suck for buying parts

[wet atlas]

amazon

[bronze jay]

shipping fees

I use prime

[wet atlas]

prime

[kindred halo]

Why does MB Software always look like it come from the early 2000s?

[wet atlas]

Yes

[bronze jay]

Still, most good deals on graphics cards are not on Amazon

[kindred halo]

OC Software looks decent but, goddamn, Standard Software is straight up Windows 7

[bronze jay]

I usually have to go to Newegg

[wet atlas]

I’m aware

I bout my gpu for 100 bucks more

[bronze jay]

Newegg prime

[bronze jay]

That sucks

[bronze jay]

It's beautiful

[wet atlas]

Rtx 4060

[bronze jay]

It looks objectively better than mine

[wet atlas]

why thanks

[bronze jay]

I didn't prioritize aesthetics, I went for power and versatility

[wet atlas]

Then I got this hunk of junk

[random gyro]

looks nice...just missing led display on psu to show current

[wet atlas]

Breh

So unnecessary

[bronze jay]

Mine shows watts

[wet atlas]

It’s a 650

[kindred halo]

Not really required

[bronze jay]

I check mine frequently

[kindred halo]

Which model

[wet atlas]

Msi mag 650

[true stirrup]

Looks like the A650bn

[bronze jay]

I've caught wasted power quite a few times by knowing the wattage

[kindred halo]

A pretty decent PSU

[kindred halo]

Not the best, but, it won't blow your machine up like other PSUs

[wet atlas]

The project pc

[empty arch]

How worried should I be about manufacturer recertified drives from serverpartdeals? Im building a truenas server and I want to setup 3 drives in a vdev, its obviously far cheaper for the recertified drives rather than brand new

[wet atlas]

Dunno why it ain’t wanna work

[wet atlas]

Its

[kindred halo]

Looks silly, love it

[wet atlas]

Ok

[true stirrup]

Real

[wet atlas]

Is that a sleeper with water cooling?

Dam

[bronze jay]

What a piece of shit

[wet atlas]

Yea

[bronze jay]

Why does it look so bad

[wet atlas]

A really nice 1700 dollar piece of shit

[bronze jay]

I think it's just missing parts

[kindred halo]

You can make a nice looking computer for like 20ish more depending on the case you own

A decent MATX or full ATX case ranges from 40-50

[bronze jay]

I chose my case for the drive bays

[kindred halo]

Atleast my options, unsure about yours

[bronze jay]

I was extremely picky

[kindred halo]

Ah, fair enough

Drive bays as in SATAs or optical drive

[wet atlas]

So i suppose y’all are at a loss for my problems

[bronze jay]

I'm so picky I wasn't happy with the case even after buying it

[bronze jay]

We think the motherboard is toast

[wet atlas]

But why everything else works

[bronze jay]

As in front panel

[bronze jay]

We think the data lines are fried

[wet atlas]

Hmm

[bronze jay]

But you should take it to someone who knows more

[wet atlas]

True

[kindred halo]

Front panel drives? Never heard of it before, but sounds pretty neat for someone that would need all the extra storage

[bronze jay]

Not for storage

So I can add ports whenever I want

Look up front panel drive bay accessories

[random gyro]

God knows for A, book knows for B, Professor knows for C, and you get what's left

[kindred halo]

iirc, on my older computer (technically my brother's, but I helped a bit by buying RAM sticks and some upgrades), he had one screwed down HDD and a SATA SSD that was just dangling lmao

[kindred halo]

One second

[wet atlas]

However if the data lines are cooked why is it showing the drive here

[bronze jay]

I have a 4tb m.2 ssd pinned under a forced air cooler

Heat pipes and all

[bronze jay]

Then they aren't

[kindred halo]

Oh looks pretty neat

[wet atlas]

Yea

[bronze jay]

Back to square zero

[wet atlas]

Yea

[bronze jay]

At least it's not dead

[kindred halo]

Extra USBs and other ports

[wet atlas]

Am I missing something?

[kindred halo]

Which model

[bronze jay]

Yes exactly. The sky is the limit

https://a.co/d/97DpkIr

It was 100 off

That's the only reason I bought it

[random gyro]

Your drives seem visible by the bios. Maybe it's just your OS is missing, or you ran diskpart clean command on all your drives which would also remove partition table?

[kindred halo]

Five. Hundred. USB 3s.

[wet atlas]

It’s not the is

[bronze jay]

It works in other computers

[wet atlas]

Yea

[true stirrup]

And there is another drive that isn't showing up?

[bronze jay]

500 cigarette lighters

[wet atlas]

No they all show up

[true stirrup]

So it just doesn't show up in windows?

Did you assign it a letter?

[wet atlas]

Well just the 500 gb and the unpartitioned 2000 GB nvme

[random gyro]

then he has some issue with windows boot manager

[wet atlas]

No it works on my other pc

Like just fine

[random gyro]

if he even was running windows

[kindred halo]

🙏 For your 500 cigarette adapter

[wet atlas]

Yes yes I am

[bronze jay]

I had people pretty much beg me not to get a forced air cooler for my SSD

[true stirrup]

Did you assign the drive a letter in the pc it doesn't show up in?

[kindred halo]

Why not

[wet atlas]

Yea

C

[bronze jay]

Because it's completely overkill and unnecessary

There is no real benefit

I just like the idea that the drive will never get hot

[kindred halo]

A drive getting hot is still a foreign concept to me

What do you mean my storage drive will heat up and needs a heatsink 💔

[random gyro]

perhaps try booting of a windows install usb, press shift +f10 then type diskpart, then inside diskpart type list disk and list volume

[bronze jay]

M.2 drives get hot because they are fast and compact

[wet atlas]

How do I set that up

[bronze jay]

SATA is not fast enough to heat up

[kindred halo]

Will I NEED a heatsink?

[bronze jay]

A flat metal heatsink is good enough

One with fins would be ideal

[kindred halo]

I assume they're not universal, do they come with the drive?

[random gyro]

You can download media creation tool on another pc, and have it assemble a bootable flash drive. You'll need 8GB or bigger

[bronze jay]

They are universal

Just make sure it's the right size

Most are 2280

[kindred halo]

Also, google said that the "motherboard is enough of a heatsink" I assume that isn't true, but, to what degree?

[kindred halo]

I'll ask the guy I am buying from what model it is

[bronze jay]

That's stupid

The motherboard is not a heat sink

[kindred halo]

As expected

[bronze jay]

The drive will still heat up to like 90 degrees if you don't have at least a metal plate

[kindred halo]

Again, not my own words, what Google told me

[wet atlas]

@random gyro this?

[bronze jay]

If you're okay with that then that's your problem

[kindred halo]

Is there any extra accessories I can add

Whilst not going over like 10-15 USD

[bronze jay]

All you need is a metal plate

[kindred halo]

Anything as replacement for metal plate or placed onto it

[bronze jay]

This is what I got

https://a.co/d/4NUPSPa

It's 20

[kindred halo]

I'll check if I can find any fans

[bronze jay]

You don't need fans

Literally a metal plate is enough

[kindred halo]

I know, but, I just wanna :3

How's this?

[bronze jay]

Same that's why I got the forced air cooler

[bronze jay]

Really good

If it has a fan it's going to be overkill

But it probably technically moves less heat than mine because of the design

[honest gulch]

Y'all remember the 5500 vs 3600 argument?

[bronze jay]

Mine has wide, open, unpainted fins

[vivid pendant]

3dmark tripping or im god

[thorn pewter]

Complete dog shit, don't bring it back up

[wet atlas]

@random gyro but I put the installation media on a usb flash drive yeah?

[random gyro]

watch the vid I posted, downloading media creation tool may not be necessary

[wet atlas]

I watched

In my bios it doesn’t give me the chance to select the boot drive

[bronze jay]

What you mean to say is the boot drive does not show up in the menu. Wording is important

[kindred halo]

Well, how decent will be at keeping the drive cool?

And how much compared to just a metal plate?

[bronze jay]

Excellent

[true stirrup]

Could be a split second spike

[bronze jay]

Anything with a fan and heat pipes will be more than you will ever need

[kindred halo]

Down to how what degrees on average? (C)

[random gyro]

well, instead of f2, you can press F8 or what ever key on your board is for boot menu, then manually select windows drive, tho that's not permanent solution. I suggest you restore optimized defaults in your bios (which will break your oc if any), press F10 and enter

[bronze jay]

Probably 56

Under heavy load

[kindred halo]

Probably nothing heavier than accessing game files

Or operating windows

[true stirrup]

It does it's just stupid how you have to do it
Otherwise if you press F11 while booting you get into the boot menu where you can do it

[bronze jay]

https://youtu.be/BUw4rsrr3W0?si=SR4BNhRD18Z9uSPZ

[kindred halo]

One second

[bronze jay]

He used the same one as you and it got down to 56 under load

[wet atlas]

Hang on

I got this screen

[vivid pendant]

thats litteraly insane no other monitoring software shows it

[true stirrup]

Then it's a miss reading

[vivid pendant]

Yeah it constantly does it lol

[true stirrup]

It only finds the USB as bootable

[vivid pendant]

I want to break 15500 in steel nomad

[random gyro]

you don't have bootable windows on any drive

[wet atlas]

I do

[random gyro]

nope

[wet atlas]

Well I did 1 hour ago

[bronze jay]

@kindred halo what was important to me on mine is that the fins are horizontal and not vertical because that means they all pass over the fan. The vertical ones don't get cooled by the fan blades unless they are in front of it. It's a stupid engineering decision and it offends me.

[random gyro]

did you try to dual boot with linux or some other os?

[wet atlas]

Nope

Windows 10

[random gyro]

well, I have zero clue what happened, but you don't have a bootable os on that machine

[kindred halo]

Didn't understand anything, sorry 💔

[wet atlas]

Hhhhm

[bronze jay]

The fins on mine are long and all go in front of the fan instead of just being next to it on the sides

[random gyro]

one thing that comes to mind is that you had secure boot on and it banned some os, likely custom, you used

[wet atlas]

I dunno

[random gyro]

and since that's an msi board, you can't unban it even if you turn off the secure boot. It's machine key is added

[wet atlas]

Hmm

[random gyro]

Unless ofc an hour ago you enabled secure boot, and forgot to instruct your bios to use other os and not official windows

[peak knot]

yeah bugged

[wet atlas]

Well it booted on the old pc

So there’s definitely windows

[random gyro]

yea, secure boot will forbid custom windowses

[wet atlas]

So disabled secure boot

[random gyro]

Read above

[wet atlas]

Should reinstalling windows fix it

[random gyro]

you can install official windows, just not that custom one you were using

[wet atlas]

K I’ll try

[kindred halo]

Oh okay

[random gyro]

press F8 again when you prep the usb, and in boot menu pick the usb to install windows from

[wet atlas]

How do I get windows copy

On a usb

[random gyro]

media creation tool

[bronze jay]

What cooler are you getting

[wet atlas]

Oh

On the new pc or the old

[random gyro]

any working one will do

[bronze jay]

Aesthetics is what's important in this case. Anything with a fan will be more than good enough. I chose function because for me there's beauty in good engineering

[wet atlas]

But I have to have the drive plugged in

[random gyro]

you need to have empty flash drive, yes

[kindred halo]

NVMe heatsink; The one you saw
CPU Cooler; Either a DeepCool AK520/620 or TR X 120 SE / Peerless Assassin

[bronze jay]

Link?

[wet atlas]

Well yea but I mean the ssd I want to reinstall windows on

[kindred halo]

Yes the Deepcool costs the same as a 240mm AIO but I don't want liquid cooling

[kindred halo]

Which one?

[bronze jay]

The one I didn't see

[wet atlas]

And the flash drive with the windows creation tool on it

[random gyro]

you plugged ssd out of old pc and plugged it into new one?

how did you get that media creation tool screenie?

[wet atlas]

I’ll dm u

[random gyro]

I don't reply to dms

[wet atlas]

O

This one

[random gyro]

yep, click download now, run the tool, and plug in flash drive for it to create you a bootable flashdrive. Then plug the flash drive into not working pc and install windows

[wet atlas]

K

So I spam f11

[random gyro]

boot menu like last time, then pick flash drive

[wet atlas]

K

[bronze jay]

Those are cpu coolers

[wet atlas]

When I click it just loops

[dusky crest]

Obsolete in a few months

[kindred halo]

.. Yeah? I put them under that category

The NVMe cooler I chose is the one I sent you, I'll get the link

[bronze jay]

Oh

[random gyro]

next time you may want to buy asus board, as msi isn't making very forgiving boards. On msi if you opt your admin password to not be reversible checkbox, no ammount of resetting your bios will clear the password in case you forget it

[wet atlas]

I did t make a password

Didn’t

[dusky crest]

You can use a cpu cooler to cool a gpu so what's ur point?

[bronze jay]

Just remember that those fins are vertical so not all of them are being cooled by the fan. It will still work all the same though.

[kindred halo]

Well, it's pretty much one of my only options for fanned heatsinks

I'll check more thoroughly though, one minute

[bronze jay]

There's the one I sent you

It's only 20

[dusky crest]

Oh, also funny thing
I fucked up a windows 11 install on demo laptop
It begged to sign in (i just wanted ho try it out) and uhh yeah, it's now fked

[kindred halo]

Can't use foreign sources

20-30 US shipping lmao

[bronze jay]

Jesus Christ

[dusky crest]

Hmmm

[bronze jay]

I have prime, shipping was free

[kindred halo]

I do not have prime, and shipping is not free 🙏

[dusky crest]

Prime is a scam if you aren't buying daily

[bronze jay]

I use Amazon often.

[wet atlas]

I give up 😭

[bronze jay]

Could always try stabbing it repeatedly as hard as you can

[wet atlas]

Yeah 😢

Might work

[dusky crest]

What

Why

[wet atlas]

Nvm

[dusky crest]

What happened

[wet atlas]

Mobo being weird

[dusky crest]

Hmm

[limber nacelle]

dude aren't you the guy who has a $200 budget

[dusky crest]

Reset cmos

[kindred halo]

Not me

[wet atlas]

Tried

[limber nacelle]

what an utter waste of money when you are so restricted

[kindred halo]

430 US, it's an aftermarket purchase alongside storage and other stuff

If I had 200 dollars I'd just dream

[limber nacelle]

if your budget is anything less than a $1000, you really shouldn't be wasting money

[dusky crest]

Why do monitors now have power bricks? Why can't we go back to kettle plug on monitors

[kindred halo]

I am fine with what I have in terms of components, I am just buying pretty much universal accessories

Better cooler, storage, etc

[limber nacelle]

go ahead, go buy a better cooler, a case you like, more storage

but a m.2 cooler...? if you don't have gen5 drives it's so utterly pointless

[dusky crest]

My pc was 37€

[kindred halo]

A gen 4/5 drive is what I am planning to upgrade to

[dusky crest]

Yeah
Also just strap on a random cooler from the bin

[kindred halo]

Also, again, the M.2 cooler will be aftermarket, aka when I have the money and are satisfied with everything else

[dusky crest]

Fkin old server heatsink or something

[kindred halo]

Core 2 Duo 👍

[dusky crest]

No lol

[kindred halo]

What was it

[dusky crest]

A8 7600

[kindred halo]

I have no idea what that translates to in Intel gimme a minute

Apparently an i5 4460

[dusky crest]

My c2d + mobo was 0.50€

[dusky crest]

Userbenchmark.com?

[kindred halo]

Quora 💔

[dusky crest]

Ah lol

I mean it runs minecraft with sodium fine

If i put shaders tho, it corrupts windows because it just freezes up

[kindred halo]

@limber nacelle BTW this is what I'll be using for now lol

I am not buying the M.2 fan heatsink immediately or even within a year of computer purchase

[kindred halo]

Lmfao youch

What GPU do you have paired with it, if any
