nuh uh corsair vengeance ram is trash

[true stirrup]

I absolutely love this

[tidal geyser]

[true stirrup]

Lies

[tidal geyser]

you are not experienced enough to say dat

[clear canyon]

does someone want to guess what my ai is being trained off of?

[hexed tapir]

Corsair made plenty of trash ddr4 ram

[frosty prism]

butttt he said sooooo

[tidal geyser]

like yeah most corsair ram aint great but ya need to know know a bit more

[frosty prism]

its gonna make my pc explode.

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/lion-king-throwing-off-a-cliff-simba-gif-5583349

[frosty prism]

its going to ascend to heaven if i run 2 tabs on chrome

life when ram was still in the mb was unlivable

[clear canyon]

ill drop kick it to hell before it gets there

[hexed tapir]

Corsair has plenty of ddr4 kits that couldn't reach xmp

[raven sluice]

what if they rise up against us

[tidal geyser]

rauko really does not like those ram sticks just bc corsair

but its probs using decent ICs

[bronze jay]

Ray Tracing isn't unique to Nvidia, and the 9700 xtx is in a completely different and higher price bracket

[tidal geyser]

there is no 9700 XTX

[clear canyon]

well if mine does, its gonna kill use with giberish

[bronze jay]

Whatever

Xr

[tidal geyser]

no

[frosty prism]

the video was literally talking about enabling xmp in general and if you have a ddr5 6000 mhz kit you'll be fine

[tidal geyser]

rx 9070 xt

[cosmic stratus]

hows this

[clear canyon]

due to not enough data collected, I need 10,000 samples, its at 542 after 2 hours

[clear canyon]

this tells us nothing, this looks like a 3700x

[latent gull]

It’s not unique to nvidia, but they have built the architecture of their cards around having hardware raytracing, the cards are even called RTX. It’s not that surprising that they’re better at it

[bronze jay]

I mean I guess it works out because I already have a 4070 but I was hoping to buy more performance

[cosmic stratus]

not about what cpu it is

[hexed tapir]

Corsair used microns reject memory they sold under the spectek brand

[clear canyon]

can you give us more info

[tidal geyser]

:3, only a good few ryzen 7000 cpus can do over 6000MT ram

[true stirrup]

Looks like a CPU to me

[tidal geyser]

and that is why they have gotten a bad rap with ddr5

well most brands have

[clear canyon]

so what about it?

[cosmic stratus]

the handles

is that normal

[clear canyon]

it does not mean anything

[tidal geyser]

is it?

[cosmic stratus]

[cosmic stratus]

mm ok

[tidal geyser]

you are using server/workstation parts that are many many years old, if you have performance issues maybe have a look on that side of it

[hexed tapir]

Corsair still using low end Spectek https://www.techpowerup.com/review/corsair-vengeance-rgb-ddr5-5600-cl40-2x-24-gb/3.html

[cosmic stratus]

no performance issues

[tidal geyser]

o ffs corsair

[cosmic stratus]

just askin about that number

[frosty prism]

so a 14600kf cant do 6000 mhz

[tidal geyser]

that is not a ryzen cpu

[frosty prism]

im asking

[tidal geyser]

what motherboard

[frosty prism]

b760m-k

ddr5

[tidal geyser]

at least it should be easy enough to spot with that cl

[frosty prism]

@tidal geyser

[tidal geyser]

o yeah, i have no clue about memory on intel

but the speed from what i understand tends to be kinda close so 6000MT

[frosty prism]

oh gosh i googled and its not looking pretty

[copper bronze]

Buddy. what the hell am i supposed to get ive been looking for like an hour😭

[tidal geyser]

do you already have a desktop pc?

[thorn grove]

Google call screening can't tell the difference between a bill collector and a scam. It's a feature not a bug

[copper bronze]

nope building my first one. dont know that much so

[true stirrup]

You can do 7000MT/s or more with it probably

I'm running stable 6800MT/s on my 12600kf

[frosty prism]

mobo?

[frosty prism]

oh

[thorn grove]

It's sad that the 4060 went from the worst deal on the market to the best deal on the market

[true stirrup]

Complete top of the window

[cosmic stratus]

[frosty prism]

does your mobo having wifi have anything to do with mine not? mine is a b760m-k

[true stirrup]

It has absolutely nothing to deal with it

[frosty prism]

ok so im good alright thanks

[thorn grove]

I can't think of anything that's going to cool down AI demand in terms of compute

[thorn grove]

Unless an AI asic is possible

[tidal geyser]

why not go AM5?

[frosty prism]

@true stirrup this is what had me confused

[tidal geyser]

aint the rx 7600 still a good bit cheaper?

[cosmic stratus]

my friend just called for a technical issue... his laptop is slow and uses a HDD.. then I see the 129 day uptime💀

[copper bronze]

its more expensive and idk what to choose like every vid i watch, on amazon there is none of that

[frosty prism]

LOL

[tidal geyser]

cheaper you mean
https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/xHHwjn

[true stirrup]

Nah I bet I could do 7000MT/s with my ram if I had a 14600kf

[frosty prism]

so this guy is bluffing?

and needing a Z mobo is bs?

[true stirrup]

Yes it's definitely bs

[frosty prism]

okay thank you

[cosmic stratus]

so does memory overclocking depend entirely on cpu or is it both mobo and cpu

[thorn grove]

A little bit best is b580 if you can find it

[true stirrup]

It's both

[copper bronze]

wait ayo that looks good but will there be bottleneck. and shouldnt i allocate more money towards the gpu(no offense im just asking lol)

[cosmic stratus]

mk

[tidal geyser]

but this is more like something i would go for if the budget allows for it and you care about performance over looks https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/NmtjLc

[tidal geyser]

what bottleneck

and do you do above 1080p gaming?

[cosmic stratus]

no

[rigid fjord]

the uptime isn't an issue so much, it's that it's on a hdd

[cosmic stratus]

ik but like, that uptime on a hard drive

[vestal owl]

https://www.kabum.com.br/produto/320797/processador-amd-ryzen-7-5700x-3-4ghz-4-6ghz-max-turbo-cache-36mb-am4-sem-video-100-100000926wof

could someone explain what's the difference about this two? and if possible wich one should I get?

[hexed tapir]

You should be safe with hynix m on your soon to be kit

[cosmic stratus]

he restarted it and it says "getting things ready"

[copper bronze]

oh yeah so u changed to the rx 7700xt which is even cheaper (350 eur) on amazon which is hella good.

[cosmic stratus]

never encountered that in my life

[rigid fjord]

update happened

[cosmic stratus]

oh wait nvm, I think I have

[tidal geyser]

yus, ama see how much i might be able to tune my (optimized for intel) ram sticks

[cosmic stratus]

I was imagining the screen you get after set up windows for the first time🐟

[tidal geyser]

i put that in since the seller sold it due to that

[cosmic stratus]

that text also shows up with the regular loading animation

[plush wren]

hey team

[copper bronze]

i have a 1080p monitor but i wil be prob be investing in a 1440p one. but i mainly dont play like that crazy graphic games but still idk which one is better

[rigid fjord]

you basically get the same/similar with a service pack update

[cosmic stratus]

ohh ok

[hexed tapir]

Wazzup

[tidal geyser]

you do not need nor really be able to fully use a XT

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/jinx-cat-grab-pet-petting-gif-23800535

i should have just stayed on 1080p tbh

[tidal geyser]

if you care A LOT about looks this is what i would go with https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/xCT8XR

[plush wren]

ugly pc case 💔

sky two 2.0

[hollow creek]

7900xtx lets go

[copper bronze]

so thanks btw but am5 means more futureproofing so if i ever wanna get a rly good cpu gpu whatever it will work and stuff

?

[plush wren]

yes

[tidal geyser]

futureproofing aint a thing but yes it will last way longer

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/varya-gif-23367099

[tidal geyser]

shit its midnight again

[true stirrup]

12 past midnight

[copper bronze]

okay thanks and if i want to add an aio instead of the stock one, that would work right?

in the future i mean

[tidal geyser]

why AIO

[plush wren]

cause like liquid

[tidal geyser]

this list already has a cooler you can safely put a ryzen 9 with

[plush wren]

[tidal geyser]

it will overheat but it will safely do it

and should be able to handle any ryzen 7

[random gyro]

How does one unsafely over heat

[tidal geyser]

intel

[hollow creek]

uh, heats up intensely emote?

[tidal geyser]

jk

[arctic tapir]

Pretty neat

[tidal geyser]

but you can disable thermal protection

[hollow creek]

doing this on an intel would be unlocking a portable nuclear core lmao

[bronze summit]

My overpriced mousepad is coming nlets goo

[plush wren]

JP Gaming

[copper bronze]

cause it look cool

[ocean summit]

yes

kinda

[copper bronze]

so that cooler is better gocha nice

[bronze summit]

JP Gaming

[tidal geyser]

its amd so a cold breeze is enough

[plush wren]

[tidal geyser]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/830516974521679905/1178809416502493254/togif.gif

[copper bronze]

nice ok

[azure topaz]

(up to 115c)

[plush wren]

nuh uh

[azure topaz]

the chips turn off after 115c no matter what

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-chomusuke-ちょむすけ-sleep-sleepy-gif-15545315686204623398

[hollow creek]

the hottest ive seen amd goes with a decent ish cooler is like. 95

and then it just stops there

[azure topaz]

because they’re preset in the bios to hit 95

intel cpus are the same but 100

[hollow creek]

yes, until you turn on pbo

and then it just goes RIP

[azure topaz]

my chip don’t get warm on my cooler

[hollow creek]

i guess in asus board you have turbo but thats just disabling some ccd cores

[copper bronze]

so the stocke cooler is good enough?

[azure topaz]

uh

[ocean summit]

I seen Old amd cpus never shut down

[hollow creek]

as sim said, ye technically

[azure topaz]

imo, no, not for anything am5 really

[ocean summit]

but thats stuff from like 25 years ago

[azure topaz]

but yeah if you need something to turn your computer on and play games it’ll do it

but it won’t do it quietly or at an incredible temp especially if you’re actually loading your chip

[hollow creek]

for 7600 i wouldnt mind you ripping it tbh

[azure topaz]

if you have 30$ in your budget i’d buy a cooler, if not i’d skip it until i can get rid of the stock cooler

sometimes the 30$ isn’t there and i get that so

[copper bronze]

but can u like use ur pc for a bit and then why i save up a bit change it. like can u do that

[azure topaz]

yes yeah

[hollow creek]

hehe boi

[azure topaz]

it’s fine for most chips. especially just to get up and running playing games. but if you’re messing around on it loading all 6+ cores or whatever it won’t be great

same applies for the am4 chips someone would use a stock cooler on

[azure topaz]

yippie

my chip games at 50ish c

normal gaming temps/day to day usage my cpu stays pretty chilly

[hollow creek]

there is no reasonable justififcation to why i got an AIO for 7600x, but it is really cool lol

[azure topaz]

if i’m doin editing tho it’ll get up there (like mid 70s) but that’s the point of the cooler

[hollow creek]

thats very nice, mine goes around 56-69/70 ish if it ever reaches 80watts. much better than the deepcool tower i had lol

[hexed tapir]

Until the pump dies in a few years :p

[frosty prism]

is getting an aio for a 14600kf worth it

[hollow creek]

just another reason to get aio with them rgb screens man

[solemn tendon]

I am trying to update the bios on a b650m plus with bios flashback but it simply doesn't work, the Led is supposed to be blinking and it blinks 3 times then stays on, what Should i do?
The USB drive is on fat32 as it Should and i am using the correct bios version

[azure topaz]

yeah our wattage scale is a bit uhh. different. but the am5 chips don’t have a great ihs so it’s dumb to compare temps to watts across platforms

i peak at like 330w and hit 95c. you peak at like 120w and hit 95c lol

not really a problem regardless obviously

[hollow creek]

yeah it literally is a hot tdie. while core is just chilling, your surface temps >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[azure topaz]

yeaah

[hollow creek]

if one is to move from intel to amd, this is something they have to relearn lol

[azure topaz]

a lot of people come here crying about their chips hitting 95c

then we have to explain like 8 times to them that it’s okay

the wattage is the most important factor when talking about heat on god on god

[hollow creek]

well some amd user would say heat is relative

at least until they throttle lol

[frigid merlin]

anyone know why my ethernet is slower than my wifi adapter?

[unborn harness]

Can i change and move apps on the app library on ios?

[hexed tapir]

Me trying to explain to pcparpicker users that leave bad reviews on good coolers because their Ryzen X CPUs run at 95c!

[frail delta]

No

I have a voucher and these are the ones I can buy within my price range. opinions?

[fallen sky]

It’s fine if I leave my pc on for a few days right

Just wondering how much electricity costs

[pearl herald]

Perfectly fine, my friend has left his pc on for weeks at a time.

[hexed tapir]

Less than 3 cents I bet

[fallen sky]

U sureeeeeeee

I’m in California

So that should already tell you something

$$$$

27 cents per kilowatt hour

[hexed tapir]

2.5x more expensive then our power

[upper abyss]

6700xt

[hexed tapir]

Oh

[upper abyss]

yessir

[hexed tapir]

My go to fix is a factory reset

[upper abyss]

what about my data :,)

[hexed tapir]

If it's important it should already be backed up on a different device

[stable beacon]

is a 2 pedal sim wheel + separate clutch good or should i just get a 3 pedal wheel

[fallen sky]

Either factory reset or a compete RMA if still under warranty 😜

I got a fresh one from my old declining 6700XT

[latent gull]

The curse is new AMD drivers. Take it back about 3-6 months

Although new nvidia ones haven’t done better recently

[upper abyss]

games not crashing yet, ill see what happens in the next few hrs before i roll back drivers

[soft violet]

zachs tech tips

[latent gull]

What about it

[hexed tapir]

The guy that scams his young viewers and gives out some bad tech tips

[latent gull]

Cmon, your better than this

[soft violet]

You say Zach scams like LTT wasn't involved in the Honey scandal

[latent gull]

Cause they weren’t, but obvious rage bait is obvious

[sleek ibex]

Who wasn't involved in the Honey shilling?

[stable beacon]

old?!

[latent gull]

Tbf, all sponsorships are just paid shilling, this one just turned out to be bad :p

[soft violet]

well i assumed you were talking about the nzxt scam, but now im curious what are you talking about

[sleek ibex]

My point exactly

[latent gull]

I wasn’t talking about shit, cause I don’t engage with children

[hexed tapir]

Ltt should have talked out when they found out about honey years ago, but at least Linus didn't charge kids $90 for a PC part list

[soft violet]

Zach already talked about his pc part list and said its oos cuz he cant ethically charge that much

hes self aware and thus stopped doing it

That’s insane lmao

[normal igloo]

Hello! I am currently having an issue with my computer, my tower has 2 HDMI ports, 1 located at the top (on the back ofc) and 1 connected to my DGPU, unfortunately my CPU doesn't have an IGPU so I'm rather confused on what the other HDMI port may be for, as I would like to run a display from it, however no image seems to display via that port at all-

[odd marsh]

the hdmi port on your motherboard is for if your cpu has an iGPU, to you it is useless

[normal igloo]

Well my Ryzen 5 3500 doesn't have an IGPU

[odd marsh]

As I just said, the port is useless to you

[normal igloo]

Why would an HDMI port exist if it doesn't have a purpose lmao that's rather confusing

[odd marsh]

Cause there are other CPUs that can go into that motherboard that have iGPUs

[latent gull]

It has a purpose. Just not for you.

[limpid dune]

whenever I fix an AM4 board with no iGPU I put tape over the HDMI so ppl don't get confused

[fallen sky]

The one I bought last year

[normal igloo]

Right that makes somewhat sense- so my currently predicament is that I have 3 displays, 1 connected via HDMI on my dGPU, another that will be connected via VGA, and another that I have to do a wireless connection towards- regarding the wireless connection, given it tanks my connection whilst in some games, what is the best course of action to get usage from that 2nd HDMI port that seems to be for an iGPU- I am assuming purchasing a motherboard that supports iGPU, or get a new dGPU that has 2 HDMI ports (if that's even a thing)

[odd marsh]

You have to get a CPU with an iGPU if you want to use that HDMI port

[limpid dune]

yep, the motherboard output on that system won't even make a picture, the pins are not connected to anythibg

[normal igloo]

That or get a dGPU that has 2 HDMI ports?

[odd marsh]

Yeah or just get some cheap shitter gpu to put in the system to get more HDMI out

[limpid dune]

yep. Although DVI can be adapted into HDMI if you have one

[normal igloo]

noted- I didn't consider 2 dGPU's at once

[normal igloo]

I'll take a peek

[limpid dune]

(the Arc A310 is a nice card - single slot, no PSU power needed, and it's got a really good encoder)

not very fast ofc

[normal igloo]

I unfortunately do not have a DVI port-

Well sorry I do have one, however that'll be used for a different display

[obtuse echo]

anyone who says "frame rate doesn't make a difference" is lying

[normal igloo]

besides the Arc A310, cheap as chips was GPU would be viable if it's only purpose is to give me an extra HDMI port?

[obtuse echo]

i have a 165hz monitor at home and a 75hz monitor at home

and the difference is immense.

[peak knot]

yeah 75 to 165 hz is a lot

but theres less of an argument going above 165hz

unless your doing competitive gaming on a pro level

@obtuse echo

[random gyro]

120hz on a phone made it feel like i was seeing heaven

[vestal owl]

which one should I go for? first colum is the price I'm paying and the second is in USD. I need a CPU to use my gpu R7700 Properly

[peak knot]

5700

save the 30 bucks

the 5700x only gets a slight boost stock

not worth the money

[eager haven]

And is a little bit more powerful.

[hexed tapir]

Less cache

[azure topaz]

ill like ztt when he doesnt use thermaltake bombs in all of his budget lists 🙏

[obtuse echo]

yeha

[azure topaz]

5700 is like a 5500 and is a 5700G with the iGPU disabled

so its got half the cache and is cezanne

[obtuse echo]

tbh i just got a 165hz monitor cos it was difficult to find a 144hz panel

[hexed tapir]

R7 5700 is basically a 5700g without the apu

[azure topaz]

yes

[gusty wagon]

A 5700g is a 5700 with a 5700xt?

[odd marsh]

I hope this dude isn’t here anymore cause I don’t like to do character attacks, but like the first sentence of his bio is “Pro ZTT yapper”

[azure topaz]

yeah 😭

[azure topaz]

wa

[gusty wagon]

wa

[azure topaz]

a 5700G is a 5700G

[eager haven]

But it was changed.

[azure topaz]

a 5700XT is a 5700XT, a 5700X but with a slightly higher clock

a 5700 is a 5700G with NO g but all of the other downsides

[hollow creek]

amd naming down the drain lmao

[azure topaz]

the bio? i dont care about the bio i care when they recommend the literal bottom of the barrel levell of psus tho

thermaltake smart recommendations immediately puts you on the list of "do not listen"

[azure topaz]

am4 was especially bad, am5 is a bit better but still stupid to me

am4 had so many terribly named chips that would make consumers very mad

the 5500/5700 is like the perfect example its like terrible compared to the 5600/5700X

-30% gaming performance fr

the 5700 and 5700X is the worst offender cause none of the other chips are like that

(i didnt even know it was like that till recently even)

so yeah amds am4 naming makes me suicidal

[eager haven]

Even though AM5 is more expensive, the performance is way better than the AM4.

[hexed tapir]

And a 8400f is just a worse 7400f 😆

[azure topaz]

nope!

the 7400f is a 7600 non X with no igpu

so its got full cache

the 8000 series F skus are based off of G skus so they get halved cache

[azure topaz]

(and 7500F)

[plush wren]

[azure topaz]

the 8400F is a cut down 8600G instead of something normal

[hexed tapir]

Amd need to hire new naming people

[azure topaz]

yes

it is genuinely predatory and bad

[plush wren]

so whats the diff between 7400f and 7500f

[azure topaz]

a couple hundred mhz

[hexed tapir]

8400f should be a improvement over a 7400f

[azure topaz]

i dont know if you can oc the 7400f

[plush wren]

oh

[azure topaz]

you can 100% the 7500F

the 7400F (and probably newer 7500F's) dont use soldered tim

they use paste under the IHS which is terrible

and why the 7400f tops out at a puny 4.7ghz

[plush wren]

[hexed tapir]

It can

[eager haven]

True.

[eternal reef]

Guys, I thought smoke alarm beeps were an urban legend, I have never touched one in my life, I have tried everything and cant turn the hush on, I dont have smoke alarm batteries lying around, all the stores are closed at 00:36am wtf do I do, I have tried everything pls save me, I just wanna sleep

[azure topaz]

i have no idea why this naming hasnt made more people mad, you can buy a 5700 and 5700x and have a wildly differennt gaming experience

[plush wren]

Ryzen AI Max+ 395

[azure topaz]

straight up unacceptable

as well as amds multi ccd things, you dont buy a 7900x knowing its slower than a 7700x in games without manually looking at benchmarks

i do not like amd's naming at all

[hexed tapir]

You need to replace the detector itself every 10 years too

[normal igloo]

right so quick question- I have a HDMI port and VGA connected to my motherboard- although the HDMI port doesn't function? Is it purely just a display bit?

[eternal reef]

defo not been 10 years, like 3 since my grandparents built this extension, either way, why can't I turn the Hush on, its not like its illegal to not have them, so why tf can't I turn it off

[azure topaz]

you naturally assume higher number = better. especially when theyre within the same hardware generation, for this not to be true is just fuckin stupid

[obtuse echo]

i have a 5700X and it suits me just fine tbh

[azure topaz]

youd be sad if you had a 5700 instead

[obtuse echo]

mind you I was coming from an i7-7700HQ

[azure topaz]

[eager haven]

The smoke alarm.

[eternal reef]

[plush wren]

[hexed tapir]

It's pretty much a law in every state to have them

[azure topaz]

if you want a way to go to sleep using the beeps, count how many beeps you get to before eepin

[plush wren]

[eternal reef]

[eager haven]

Explode your smoke alarm with dynamite.

Here in Utah an American state we had to get a inspector to check and test ours when we expanded the kitchen

[eager haven]

Here in Australia, we test it ourselves.

[hexed tapir]

And by test and check he just asked my dad if we had new ones ezpz

[eternal reef]

[eager haven]

And, it beeps so loud, that it can make someone deaf in minutes.

[hexed tapir]

All new builds require them by law in the majority of states

[eternal reef]

do they atleast pay for them, or do they make YOU pay for one that you might not even want

[eternal reef]

In the uk I think each floor has to have atleast one, but only on new builds, if you don't have one then you just dont

[hexed tapir]

We pay and install them ourselves

[eternal reef]

America makes no sense, you are allowed to commit hate crimes whenever you want, which is dumb since your country is half woke ass mf's but then they allow cartels just because it makes the government more money to spend on their oversized military

the us military could literally double and it would hardly affect yall at all

Yeah, my pc dram Led wont go away no matter what
Anyone know of any shenaningan about b650m-plus from asus not working with a single 32gb stick?

[azure topaz]

is the bios updated? have you tried other slots? is the stick known good?

how long have you waited on the red led? sometimes it takes longer depending on what platform (and am5 is one of those)

[mellow cairn]

[peak knot]

@eternal reef you need to contribute positively to the conversation, if you dont a mod will take action against you

[eternal reef]

what?

[solemn tendon]

I have 2 of the same sticks and they all do The same on every slot of the board
I am trying to update bios but it wont let me bios flash also, for some reason
I am currently trying to debug the bios flash error
Everything is dead stock new

[gusty wagon]

just have to take away their electric charge /j

[azure topaz]

how long are you waiting with the red led on?

[eternal reef]

I am too uneducated to help ppl with mobo led's

[gusty wagon]

No way, you're a goldfish too

[solemn tendon]

I've waited for a good 10 mins, the ram rgb wont even turn on
The cpu is getting Hot and the gpu works

How long Should i wait?

[peak knot]

im mostly talking about being off topic and not trying to be a constructive member to the tech chat conversation, this is a wonderful place to learn if you dont know things yourself

[hexed tapir]

The small sick goldfish from pet stores or the big healthy ones in ponds ?

[azure topaz]

well up to 10 minutes lol. try reseating the CPU and ensuring that the 8 and 24 pins are properly connected (really do it. dont just look. unplug and replug them)

[gusty wagon]

The ones that Tux eats

[solemn tendon]

I did that a couple mins ago, reseated the cpu, i reseated all the cables nicely and i hopped here to seek help haha

[azure topaz]

well at least youre smart

i figure youre trying to do bios flashback, and you said its not working?

[hearty hull]

is 7800 xt 16gb a good deal at $629?

[azure topaz]

no lol

[hearty hull]

thank u

[gusty wagon]

What filesystem is your flash drive formatted in, and what revision are your mobo & bioses?

[solemn tendon]

Yeah, bios flashback wont propperly start
, i am using a usb drive with 16 gbs of storage, on fat32

[gusty wagon]

Ah

[solemn tendon]

Since the mobo is new i dont have a clue, its the first time out of the box

[azure topaz]

b650m-plus is the asus one right

[solemn tendon]

Yes

[azure topaz]

whats the file named exactly, like the exension too

[hexed tapir]

Over MSRP

[solemn tendon]

The bios filé?

[azure topaz]

i know on their site it says .bin but you dont actually do that

[azure topaz]

yes

[raw plover]

Should my wifi box overhead, we are using Cox panoramic and it keeps on overheating and losing signal, considering unplugging at night unless yall have a solution

[solemn tendon]

I think it is on .cap

[azure topaz]

you did the renamer and stuff?

[solemn tendon]

Yep

It Should be on wich format?

[azure topaz]

try without the renamer and just drag the og file over there

[solemn tendon]

Ok

[azure topaz]

i dont fully remember, asus biosflashback is a mess and weird though so

its a mess in the sense that its not documented very well

[solemn tendon]

I Will test with The normal file

[azure topaz]

🫡

if not, you can try renaming the normal file to the same as the .cap but leaving it .bin?

[hearty hull]

yea it was a 3FAN custom but its gone

[gusty wagon]

Interesting

[azure topaz]

maybe try FAT (no 32) if that doesnt work

and if that doesnt work you can try making it NTFS

[solemn tendon]

Its like that rn

[azure topaz]

looks like how they said but who knows its probably not right

[solemn tendon]

Yea

[azure topaz]

just makin sure, when doing flashback, the usb is in the right port for it right?

[solemn tendon]

Yea, its outlined thankfully

[azure topaz]

cool cool

[plush wren]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/830516974521679905/1178809416502493254/togif.gif

[peak knot]

fat32 is most compatible

[solemn tendon]

The original file is also in cap

[plush wren]

cant wait to do my mid term on 4 hours of sleep i never fucking learn

[solemn tendon]

How do i change to bin?

[azure topaz]

oh i didnt know that dont change it to bin

[solemn tendon]

Ok

[azure topaz]

we'll skip this part of it and try a new format on the flash drive i guess

[peak knot]

@azure topaz stop

your giving bad advice

[azure topaz]

my fault i didnt know trying things not destructive at all was bad

[solemn tendon]

What Should i do Then?

[peak knot]

yes but asus provides alll the tools you need

[azure topaz]

and theyre not working. so clearly something is up 😭

[peak knot]

format a small usb drive and make sure its empty, format it in fat32

[south arrow]

Use renamer if there is one that came with the file from the bios site

[azure topaz]

see this is the problem the guy did all of this 😭

this is the try part

[peak knot]

download the bios and extract it, the file will be .cap and there is another file included called biosrenamer

[solemn tendon]

This checks out
Its a 16gb drive tho
Used it on my b550 tuf many times

[peak knot]

run the biosrenamer executible and it will make the bios.cap file into a bios.bin file

put that bin file on the empty USB and put it into the bios flashback port of the motherboard and follow your motherboards bios flashback steps

[solemn tendon]

Yeah, the renamer is turning the. CAP file in that file i sent on the photo

[gusty wagon]

Asus instructions are so weird

[peak knot]

the drive size doesnt matter

[azure topaz]

kinda what i was getting after

[solemn tendon]

I Will Record hold on

[gusty wagon]

On my gigabyte and msi motherboards, it's a standardised file name

[south arrow]

From within EZ flash select the usb and the file then let it do its thing for 10 mins or so

[azure topaz]

the guy is following asus's steps. he came here after troubleshooting himself lol

[azure topaz]

doin flashback cuz he cant get it to boot w/current ram

[gusty wagon]

No bios access

[south arrow]

Ooofs

[azure topaz]

yeah so the poorly documented asus flashback is going to have to work lol

[peak knot]

honestly would have troubleshot the ram/cpu before touching bios

[azure topaz]

he did

[gusty wagon]

This is the most complete one I've seen from asus

https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1038568/

[limpid ivy]

I almost flashed the wrong bios onto my old asus b550f wifi . Got the none wifi bios and it wasn't until I looked back 30 min after starting the flash I saw red flashing

[azure topaz]

diff slots at least, and he doesnt have extra ram to test i dont figure otherwise he wouldve

i can tell this person is not an incompetent user bro kinda has it down

[ripe sable]

What could I add to make my pc looks better

[azure topaz]

the documented parts arent working and thats the problem 💀

[gusty wagon]

Turn off the lights so the room matches the pc theme

[limpid ivy]

But the motherboard died months later and asus refused to rma it sooo it was whatever that that point lol

[south arrow]

With the pc off off put it in the flash motherboard slot it will be labeled usually then hit the button and give it like 10 minutes upon boot it myte still be updating so leave it in just in case

[solemn tendon]

Here, dont mind the áudio lol

[azure topaz]

try running the renamer as admin

probably will just open a cmd window

[solemn tendon]

I tried every slot with both sticks, the whole pc turn up and the dram Led turns on

[azure topaz]

you waited a decent amount of time each attempt?

[solemn tendon]

It opens a cmd Window saying that the previous file has been renamer

[south arrow]

Drag the bios file into the renamer excutable and voila

[azure topaz]

could just be a dead stick and you werent waiting long enough in the troubleshooting

[solemn tendon]

Its both sticks like that

[azure topaz]

as admin? i mean try it now ig

[solemn tendon]

Aight lemme try

[azure topaz]

🫡

[peak knot]

yeah asus boards dont need bin files also on newer boards

[solemn tendon]

Same goes

[peak knot]

they update off of cap files

[south arrow]

Looks good to me

[azure topaz]

might work since you did it as admin lets see

[south arrow]

Shows its been renamed put just that file into a usb now and then to the flash slot

[solemn tendon]

Asus manual says it blinks 3 times and keeps blinking, but when i try it Just keeps the light on

Ill try again

[ripe sable]

But that does not make the pc looks better

[peak knot]

also make sure your patient with it

[solemn tendon]

Keep the renamer file together?

[peak knot]

no

dont need the renamer anymore

[azure topaz]

shouldnt matter but no incase of confusion

[solemn tendon]

It Should keep blinking right?

[south arrow]

Youll only need the bios file now

[solemn tendon]

Its on fat 32 btw

[south arrow]

Kinda its more like wait 10 minutes it myte turn on and off a few times (the light) then give it a try type deal

[azure topaz]

sometimes longer

[sharp ivy]

It should

[azure topaz]

biosflashback is very good but from what ive seen very janky lol

and asus doesnt document shit in the first place so now something that only slightly changes board to board? its over.

[south arrow]

At least if its not fully done but most of the way itll show you its still updating. But hopefully just goes through

[azure topaz]

cant even get a damn block diagram of the pcie lanes for my board

[rose sorrel]

Good DP cable ?

[solemn tendon]

On the manual it says that if the light goes on after Three blinks means that it went wrong

It is solid Green rn

[azure topaz]

id just chill for a while

[peak knot]

ugreen is a good company but that DP cable is not technically to spec

its missing the DP locks

[solemn tendon]

How much Should i wait?

[rose sorrel]

but be fine ?

[azure topaz]

see if it goes off after 20 or 25 minute, if yes then it updated successfully or something

[rose sorrel]

i have 180hx 1440p coming ?

[peak knot]

yeah signal integrity wise should be good

[rose sorrel]

be fine ?

[peak knot]

but DP by spec has a locking system

[solemn tendon]

I guess i Will wait now
Solid Green means something right

[azure topaz]

sure...maybe...probably

[solemn tendon]

It is like that

[azure topaz]

it would be hilarious if even your motherboard manual had improper documentation

[rose sorrel]

will it do 1440p 180 ?

[stark spear]

Are AMDs prices going back down or what

[azure topaz]

normally i say rtfm but shiiit i get a handhold through biosflashback 💀

[peak knot]

that depends more on your computer than the cable

[stark spear]

Actually ridiculous I ain’t paying $1399 AUD for a 9070XT

[solemn tendon]

I was really about to get a msi x870 Just to be sure
But it was a lot more expensive

[peak knot]

im only reffering to these being missing

which are part of the displayport spec

[stark spear]

Yeah I really don’t believe in googling stuff in 2025

It’s just not worth it

[rose sorrel]

7700xt

[stark spear]

There’s too much misinformation about stuff like this

[hexed tapir]

When my time machine comes in the mail I will update you

[south arrow]

Funky things

[stark spear]

Thanks bro

Lifesaver

[random gyro]

I'll give you my humane pin

[peak knot]

i mean the cable can support that speed but your pc may not be able to do 1440p 180hz depending on the game

[stark spear]

In all seriousness though I really hope they drop back to MSRP

I shouldn’t have to pay like double for a card

[peak knot]

most of the time the displayport cable that comes with your monitor is a good cable

and matches the DP spec your monitor has

[stark spear]

Here in Australia after after exchange rates it shouldn’t be more than like $960 I think but atm the cheapest one is $1399

Which is like daylight robbery

[random gyro]

If you're in Australia I can't say much

[solemn tendon]

Yeah, the Led Should be flashing, not be a solid light

[random gyro]

Seems like everything is more expensive in Australia

[azure topaz]

Is the Crucial P3 Plus 500GB or the WD Green SN3000 1tb Better? they are both the same price where I live.

[hexed tapir]

Both use qlc nand so they are not the best for endurance and performance

[hexed tapir]

What country are you in

[solemn tendon]

There is absolutely no thing on the board, not even the cpu, and yet the bios wont flashback

I am considering strongly Just going to the store tomorrow and changing

Is there anything left to do?

[azure topaz]

try doing it but formatted as FAT instead of FAT32

same steps otherwise

[solemn tendon]

There is only exFAT

And FAT

[azure topaz]

wut

one more time i dont quite get it

theres no fat 32 but theres fat and exfat

[solemn tendon]

Yeah me neither

No, there is fat32 and exFAT

[azure topaz]

so rn is it fat32 or fat i thought it was fat32 rn

oh oh oh okay okay

i mean try exfat jesus who knows 😭

confusing that theres no fat

[plain cypress]

Are you calling me fat

[azure topaz]

considering you were missing before this yes

[plain cypress]

[azure topaz]

summoned u by saying it 3 times

No signal either

What should I purchase for April fools day

[random gyro]

Pc fans n all are working tho

[azure topaz]

its over

power it off, take a peek inside and figure out the motherboard model, then google "[motherboard model] clear cmos pins" then take something metal and put it between the two pins bridging them together

make sure its unplugged for this and after you unplug it hit the power putton to drain extra power

then plug back in and turn on

new?

or at least new to me

[azure topaz]

its been out since 9th gen bro

[jaunty apex]

Idk what KS means still lmao

[azure topaz]

K(koverclockable)S (special edition)

special means higher clocks and better for manually overclocking (a guaranteed minimum quality of silicon)

[jaunty apex]

Ah. neat. Yeah even HK/HX are more familiar to me XD

[azure topaz]

lappy top

[azure topaz]

hey just saying at least intel will put a different letter at the end of chips that have half the cache of eachother

5500N(NO $)

[strange atlas]

Is 7.1 virtual surround better then stereo?

[azure topaz]

kinda up to preference

do you think it is? do you like it?

[jaunty apex]

Does AMD have any SKUs like that? lol

[azure topaz]

yes. a lot. like a lot.

[hexed tapir]

Xt

[strange atlas]

My cheap 7.1 virtual surround headphones weirdly sounds better then high priced stereo headphones i didnt quite get why

[azure topaz]

5500 has half the cache of a 5600

the 5700 has half the cache of a 5700X

[strange atlas]

normally it should have been stereo or real 7.1 no how does fake do better job

[azure topaz]

the 8400F has half the cache of a 7400F

a difference that big will sway gaming by like 30% deadass

it really does matter

[jaunty apex]

Guess I gotta keep an eye out for that too. I didnt even realize how much of a thing that was

[odd marsh]

It might be your mind playing tricks, or the 7.1 headphones just have a naturally wider sound stage which could be more pleasing for music

[azure topaz]

ya. mostly with the lower end chips but am4 was super fucked (5700 being half the cache of the X)

[jaunty apex]

I understand how much it matters for sure, especially with frametime latency but yikes

[strange atlas]

I do not know i was saying that for gaming

[pearl herald]

Newzealand

[odd marsh]

Even for gaming, wider sound stage makes it seem like the audio is more directional, like it’s coming from certain places

[strange atlas]

Its a lot easier to see where the guy is in my cheap fake 7.1 virtual surround headphones than a stereo headphones

[azure topaz]

then use that 👍

[strange atlas]

yes exactly but shouldnt this tech be more expensive

[odd marsh]

Eh

[strange atlas]

i bought these headphones at 2015

[jaunty apex]

I love seeing with the ears behind my head

It’s just speaker design and headphone enclosure design

And a little bit of software magic

[azure topaz]

and tricky software tricks

[strange atlas]

i mean when you hear it cant you imagine the guy where exactly is?

[strange atlas]

ooh makes sense

[jaunty apex]

I mean yeah. Ive been impressed by it before. Idk if thats exclusive to 7.1 tho

[strange atlas]

I cant like i said i've been using it since 2015 soo its broken apart and all and too heavy for my head

and its rgb

[azure topaz]

oh oh i mean you can just buy another my fault

the hyper X dongles do that

[strange atlas]

god damn that ccosts more then a avarage headphones even in aliexpress

[hexed tapir]

What's your SSD budget in your currency

[pearl herald]

90NZD

[azure topaz]

not thebluetooth one

one of these guys

positive you can find em cheaper

[strange atlas]

same price apparently 😦

[hexed tapir]

Oh your kinda stuck with the sn3000 if you want a 1tb drive

[strange atlas]

probably turkish border problem though

and they dont sell it in turkey

[pearl herald]

I don't mind if its 500gb, its just for linux. I just saw it and thought it was a good deal.

[hexed tapir]

Might as well get the green drive

[pearl herald]

Any reason for this awnser?

[hexed tapir]

Slightly Better drives are not much cheaper and half the capacity

[pearl herald]

Ok, thanks for the info!

[azure topaz]

is there like, pcie xlr cards

ah well there is but theyre a million dollars so thats cool

(like 100)

[pearl herald]

Why do you ask a question and then awnser it?

[azure topaz]

doesnt seem to bad if you want an audio interface

[azure topaz]

incase someone knew the answer faster than i could google it so i could yap

i asked cause im bored not cause i really care about xlr pcie

[pearl herald]

Oh ok

[azure topaz]

i mean like besides physical copntol i dont see how these would be worse than a normal xlr interface but i dont really understand audio that much

[cosmic stratus]

or give a benchmark example

[proper gull]

Where? I can't find any

XLR wouldn't even fit into a slot

[proper gull]

That's not xlr

[azure topaz]

oh its XTE why did it show up

my fault

[azure topaz]

i didnt want to have to google

[cosmic stratus]

left is 7400f if anyone cant see

[azure topaz]

i think someone who has a little bit of a grasp on tech unnderstands that half the cache is bad

[cosmic stratus]

never assume that

[azure topaz]

i found one

[proper gull]

Still not xlr

[azure topaz]

👍 you can do the googling for me from now on

[azure topaz]

read its got like an adaptor

from dsub to XLR

[cosmic stratus]

[proper gull]

Yes I know I was already looking at it

Doesn't count imo

[azure topaz]

fair kinda removes the point of an internal interface

[azure topaz]

the point is that it doesnt really matter that much and if someone wanted to know the true difference they could go and look it up or actually ask, if not, im not going to overexplain and waste my time on a topic i dont really care about

[ashen tangle]

should i get this?

[azure topaz]

seems to be the same price as on ebay (very quick look) so its not a bad purchase i dont think

[plain cypress]

Honestly it's hard to fake so as long as it isn't smashed to shit

Also verify it is reset and not iCloud locked before paying for it

[azure topaz]

if you wanted an apple watch ultra

[narrow oak]

any ppl smart with antivirus and pc safety stuff?

[ashen tangle]

but i was looking also at the apple watch ultra 2

[azure topaz]

you can maybe get a warranty on the ebay refurbed ones

for basically da same price

[azure topaz]

im not sure on their difference, 450$ for a smart watch seems wild (tbf 350 does too)

i do know that youre at least not overpaying 💀

[narrow oak]

if virustotal results are 43/73 unsafe and most list as a trojan, it's pretty unsafe then?

or is it a 43/73 false positive

oh it got a -14 community score

[azure topaz]

gonna uhhh... assume its bad...

[ashen tangle]

how much worse is it than the ultra 2?

[azure topaz]

not the watch that guys file

[ashen tangle]

oh yeah i know

[azure topaz]

this is basically where the end of my knowledge on most apple products ends so its your turn to use da google

[ashen tangle]

ok

[ashen tangle]

im looking at stuff about it rn

cause i messaged the person for 325 and she accepted

[azure topaz]

seems legit

[ashen tangle]

i think so too*

[ashen tangle]

actually after consideration im going with the ultra 2

cause i honestly use my watch for everything on account of my parents not letting me have a phone

and it has some nice quality of life features

[azure topaz]

🫡 sounds good

[shell osprey]

anyone else with a 9070xt getting artifacting? i think it’s driver related but idk, only manifests a few days after reinstalling drivers

[strange atlas]

i would refund that gpu imo

[ashen tangle]

when did u buy it?

[strange atlas]

but a bit looks like monitor issue though

maybe check your cables

[shell osprey]

got it off newegg when they launched

[ashen tangle]

is it still in warranty?

[shell osprey]

cables should be fine, my setup is exactly the same as it was with my last card

i can try a different cable once the issue shows up again ig

[shell osprey]

probably? idk i can look thru the papers n shit

rlly don’t wanna get a refund cus i gave a friend my old card

i can still return it to newegg ig

[royal stone]

whats the current best radeon graphics card?

[strange atlas]

i think as raw power its 7900xtx

But heard that 9070xt does better job at ray tracing

[royal stone]

i wish they used numbers in terms of quality like nvidia

[strange atlas]

They do use it like that

but they change scheme quite often

[hollow creek]

9070/xt, 7900xtx/xt

[hearty hull]

Is this a good deal?

[hollow creek]

do u need a combo?

[rotund hinge]

is a gigabyte b650m-k a reasonable tester board (75usd)

[azure topaz]

is it?

[rotund hinge]

idk

[azure topaz]

tester meaning like just to test cpus in?

[rotund hinge]

yeah i'm having issues in my current board (which doesn't officially support a 7700x, thanks asus) so i wanted to check if it's that or my cpu

[hearty hull]

I would need a new motherboard and ram prob

[azure topaz]

yeah itll work totally fine

[rotund hinge]

cool

worst case i'm just f'd

[azure topaz]

yeah never heard of an am5 board not suppporting a 7700x

[next zenith]

is there anything to suggest that the bent or broken pins in this pictures are ground pins?

[azure topaz]

no

whats your plan anyways, just to like break em off and socket it anyways?

[next zenith]

is there a pin out of the R5 5500 online?

[rotund hinge]

there's at least two turns out (strix b650-a/b650e-f), only support the zen4 epycs and some zen5 chips

[azure topaz]

try to straighten them out, use a mechanical pencil like putting lead in the stupid way

[hearty hull]

^

[azure topaz]

i think its an asus documentation issue

[rotund hinge]

yeah that's what i meant

[azure topaz]

what i mean is that i think ur boned if ur cpu doesnt work in that board

[rotund hinge]

i mean it's really just so i can get the amd warranty guys to listen to me

bc the b650m-k does document the 7700x as supported

[next zenith]

ah the LTT forum is in comic sans today
fair enough

[azure topaz]

the b650e-e is the same exact board as the b650e-f (very minor differences) and supports every cpu on the am5 lineup

[royal stone]

damn i think my cpu sucks when i look at other ones around the same price

[azure topaz]

but yeah i get amd warranty not seein that

stupid fricks

[rotund hinge]

oh yeah they're def compatible it's just that i need it to be stated by the mfr

[next zenith]

looks like it the opposite side of the gold triangle

[azure topaz]

knock yourself out
https://en.wikichip.org/w/images/f/f8/OPGA-1331_pinmap.svg

not ground

[next zenith]

ah shoot
that's GG then

[azure topaz]

audio of sorts apparently

[next zenith]

I won't buy it then

[rotund hinge]

audio, vddcr and some vss

yeah nah

[azure topaz]

cooked unless u have doner pins

[next zenith]

yeah it's just this on the listing

It's NZD$20

[azure topaz]

if you want a project you could buy it and some random a10 cpu and try to solder new pins on

assuming you have the tools and stuff

[rotund hinge]

yes

[hearty hull]

Worth buying then?

[rotund hinge]

yeah

[hearty hull]

Anyone else have input?

[rotund hinge]

i mean that's less than the gpu itself from what i'm seeing rn

and that's not even the oc

[next zenith]

if it's more than US$599 then it can fxxk off

[rotund hinge]

it's all overpriced

[next zenith]

I don't care

If you say 599 you sell the damn thing at 599

[hearty hull]

Yeah, but when am I gonna find a price like that?

I currently have an i5- 8600 and GTX 1050 TI

[rotund hinge]

i mean

temporary but

[hearty hull]

I need an upgrade

[rotund hinge]

i9-9900k and 7800xt

[strange atlas]

if you would like to go for second hand i would get like 6750xt as gpu

[rotund hinge]

another option

[strange atlas]

i'm guessing you are playing in 1080p*

since you have 1050ti

[dusky axle]

can someone help me troubleshoot a bsod? i think it's related to an emulator. i have a .dmp file

[gleaming timber]

does anyone know wtf this connector is for it’s coming off of the rear fan in my case, there’s nothing in the manual

not even long enough to reach one of my sysfan headers

[rotund hinge]

might be me but that looks like the female end of a 3-pin fan connector

[dusky axle]

is tht replacing a fan?

[rotund hinge]

just a weird one

[gleaming timber]

it’s one of the pre installed fans, they were all exhaust so i flipped 2 to intake and then i noticed this connector that i missed when i first built it

[livid mason]

Been into PCB design lately

[rotund hinge]

oh wait

probably for daisychaining

if it worked without it

[gleaming timber]

i have my front and rear ones daisy chained already those had normal connectors

[rotund hinge]

same typa fan?

[gleaming timber]

yea

[rotund hinge]

weird

[gleaming timber]

nothing on my motherboard that fits that connector, was hoping it would give me a way to control my fans with software and not have them running on blast all the time

i guess i just gotta leave it alone then

[random gyro]

so i updated to ios 18.4, but when i updated, a random game showed up (i didn't download the game at all) this has happened to me before but im pretty sure im not hacked
i do have 2FA on and stuff

[tulip sparrow]

DAMN!!! That was a video

[hearty hull]

I was originally going to buy this bundle, but I guess it doesn’t make sense anymore?

[copper bronze]

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/bNtwjn yoo does this look fine. im a beginner so thats why im asking

i wanna be on am5 and around 1000 bucks so lmk

[novel robin]

[hearty hull]

[e-mail]

[thorny saddle]

[rotund hinge]

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/jkFcmC should be just about under

[terse canopy]

I just updated. No random games here. Is it possible it is associated with your account?

[solid crown]

I mean I personally think gpu prices will go down in the future
