don’t use that

#

definitely don’t use that

I just wanna play my game and relax

My 2nd monitor sometimes gets weird blue dots on black screens, red-lines that flicker and disappear. And sometimes the monitor turns off for a second and comes back on again. Is this likely due to a faulty HDMI cable or a Graphics Card issue?

Nerds help me

This says number 1 is ATX_12V. I assume for power. I thought it was the long ass cable (with many square holes) but no. I plugged this in. Is it correct?

It fits at least.

Turn the cooler upside down?

grizzled frost
#

No

atomic hollow
#

Noo

grizzled frost
#

spin the CPU a bit, and lift it off

orchid lintel
#

Ok

grizzled frost
#

careful to grab the pcb of the CPU and not the pins

atomic hollow
#

U will bend the pins, heat it a lil bit not too much with just hairdryer and spin it

copper swallow
#

It's not as bad as it seems @orchid lintel

Just dont touch the pins! You got this

atomic hollow
#

Btw don't scratch the pcb and don't mess w the pins

orchid lintel
#

Do shit quality thermal pastes result in this

grizzled frost
#

no

atomic hollow
#

No

grizzled frost
#

AM4 being AM4 does this, and you not heating up the thermal paste first

atomic hollow
#

Yes

grizzled frost
#

for future reference, run a benchmark first for a bit to warm up the paste

orchid lintel

How about dust

Right now is 7pm
Last it was turned on was 2pm

grizzled frost
#

by the time you get the CPU cooler off it's fine

atomic hollow
stoic nova
#

There's a whole ass heatsink there so

atomic hollow
#

It will cool before u pull the cpu off

grizzled frost
#

not a good option now though

atomic hollow
#

Even without the heatsink for any reason(don't)

atomic hollow
grizzled frost
#

just use a hair dryer to heat the CPU and paste, then twist it slightly and remove it

atomic hollow
#

And try

orchid lintel
#

I might not have a hair dryer

#

My sister may have taken it with her when leaving

grizzled frost
#

got a heat gun?

atomic hollow

I won't recommend hot air gun or u will fuck up the chip even further, learnt from experience and I lost a gpu trying to heat it up

orchid lintel
atomic hollow
grizzled frost
orchid lintel
#

What if i put it back in, reassemble everything and then uhh u know

grizzled frost
#

you will bend pins

#

skip the heating it up then, just grab the corners and twist

#

grab the corners of the green PCB, not the pins

#

be careful not to touch the pins

atomic hollow
atomic hollow
grizzled frost
#

nothing important on the outermost edge

atomic hollow
#

Still might cause some issues?

grizzled frost
#

Not at all

atomic hollow
#

:/

grizzled frost
#

there's no traces on the very edge

atomic hollow
#

Right and the cpu won't sit properly in socket too

grizzled frost
#

you'd have to try to do that

atomic hollow
#

Hm

grizzled frost
#

how brittle do you think PCBs are?

atomic hollow
#

I think he can use a pair of scissors or smth, grip the ihs and wiggle without scratching anything

orchid lintel
#

Now what

grizzled frost
#

just use your fingers

atomic hollow
orchid lintel
grizzled frost
#

point hairdryer at heatsink, wait till it's warm, then:
just grab the corners and twist
grab the corners of the green PCB, not the pins
be careful not to touch the pins

atomic hollow
orchid lintel

atomic hollow
#

Yea

#

If ur having no airflow

orchid lintel
#

So i just spin it clockwise or anti clockwise after stuff with hairdryer is done?

Im gonna hairdry it for 10 seconds

atomic hollow
#

Any wise

stoic nova
#

Try a fractal torrent some time

atomic hollow
#

Just wiggle it man

orchid lintel
#

Ok

atomic hollow
grizzled frost
#

stop yapping about the case so this man can focus on the actual problem

atomic hollow
#

yes

orchid lintel
grizzled frost

focus

#

Then tried
Nothing happened

#

Im gonna try for 2 min this time
God damn adhd!!

They make heaps of cool mechs for them

atomic hollow

I have used them they r tiny but i kinda like then

#

Yes

#

Do u have overload breakers that fit into those clipsal?

frail delta
#

Momentary switches, dimmers, motion sensors

atomic hollow
#

Nah-

frail delta
atomic hollow
#

(I shall import these and swap)

#

Here they fit into the frame lol

#

U can put them where u want

#

An additional one as a overkill switch

frail delta
#

Ah yes, instead of having everything centralised let’s spread them throughout the dwelling lol

orchid lintel
#

Sorry for being a crybaby
But its too hot now

atomic hollow
#

Just use scissors

orchid lintel
#

How do i take off:(
Should i request help of my dad

atomic hollow
#

Why are u using ur hand

#

Use a cloth to grip it or smth

orchid lintel
#

Ok what to do with the scissors where do i apply force?
In what direction?

atomic hollow
#

Don't damage the pins

frail delta
#

Fishing wire

atomic hollow
#

He might not have?

grizzled frost
#

Please for the love of god don't use scissors

atomic hollow
#

But it works (last option)

#

It also damages the cpu if u are not careful

#

I have used them in intel desktop chips in imacs where they have no retention mechanism

this is kind of an easy mistake to make though

ye

#

u got a vacum?

orchid lintel

#

thats dusty asf

grizzled frost
#

use some isopropyl alcohol and wipe off the old paste

#

phew

#

the pins bend so easy

orchid lintel

I think i bend some when i was taking it off my cooler

#

Should be fine

grizzled frost

No, not fine

#

Very much can kill your CPU and motherboard if you try just jamming that in

orchid lintel
# grizzled frost No, not fine

How do i know if it's bent?

One of them just shines light off slightly different when looking from a specific angle

Is that enough

#

I have very poor eyes 😦

grizzled frost
#

look down the rows of pins from the side of the CPU

sinful cobalt
grizzled frost

if you see a pin that is off from the rest, it's bent

That's the thing im taking about

then dont do anything to the cpu lol

You rn fr

#

What are you testing your ethernet cable with?

glass perch
terse canopy
#

That’s the Internet speed. Not your LAN CAT5e cable.
That type of speed test is only as fast as the slowest link to some server on the Internet.

orchid lintel
#

Can the cpu socket move when the cpu socket lock arm thingy is moving

wheat field
terse canopy
#

CAT 5e is rated for 1gb/sec up to 100m.

wheat field
orchid lintel
terse canopy
#

Now, that’s the theoretical limit. The true max speed is somewhere around 900mb/sec

thin plover
#

I think it's on the plastic part of the socket

wheat torrent
#

Just got this thingy

terse canopy
#

To test the true speed of your CAT 5e cable, you would need to run a local speed test.
However, in all my years of IT- as long as my local file transfers between computers are at the expected speed and consistency, I’ve never bothered to test my LAN cables for max speed

What is the reason for there to be routers that supports fiber and some that don't

I thought light get converted to electrical shit

wheat torrent

Fair

#

This router is fiber but I won't be using that

#

Home routers and enterprise routers are different beasts. Enterprise routers that dont support fiber are almost extinct.
For home, ethernet is cheap enough and well-known.

#

Has anyone ever heard rhe triangle wearing off lol

#

That "router" likely isn't even usable, it's likely an ISP specific ONT that shouldn't have even been removed from wherever you got it

plush wren

#

What makes it unusable

ISP specific firmware

Idk I googled the name of the router

#

And saw that it can do 1 gbps

It's the isp one

And there is no way to get it to run like a normal router

But soon i will wire in my rack router and not use the isp router

Renting a modem/router?

You very likely have to use the ISP provided ONT

atomic hollow
#

Yes

#

I used the keys and stuff

#

I took from the old router and it works lol

#

The isp is fine with me using other routers

#

Yea- when I sign up for Internet, I plan on sticking around for 3+ years. So I buy my own modem and save over the long haul.

Mine will be just a GPON and also router in a rack going to a switch and also AP

Not necessarily. If you are paying for 30mb/sec Internet, that’s all you’ll ever see on Internet speed tests.
If the speed limit of your neighborhood is 25, you won’t go faster by making your driveway a smooth grippy surface.

Is there a way to know what the speed for my router is? Like im not sure what the speed is supposed to be for how much im paying

My mom is thinking about ditching fiber internet for 5G home internet.

#

This is because of price btw

raven sluice
#

which runs directly in your router, doesnt download anything onto your connected device

5G home internet is like $50 a month. Pretty cheap. Lower upload speeds though.

stoic nova

Gamers when their desktop computer is anything more than a Xbox intjshock

raven sluice
#

does a 6 core cpu with 12 threads count as a 12 core?

tidal geyser
#

Anyways for 99% of games less but faster cores is better

raven sluice
tidal geyser
#

Issue with threads is also smt vs ht

stoic nova

so what's more important, thread or cores?

Neither

Good diagnosis

empty quartz
#

@raven sluice threads are just for multitasking, intel initially introduced hyperthreading to help performance on their dual core cpu’s, and stuck with it until 9th gen, then reverted back to hyperthreaded cpu’s until ā€œ15th genā€ (core ultra)

empty quartz
tidal geyser
#

Smt

empty quartz
tidal geyser
#

Smt is good while ht is uhm a reason why intel is no longer using it

raven sluice
#

what the hell is smt

empty quartz
tidal geyser
#

But different execution

empty quartz
#

@tidal geyser apparently ht is more efficient than smt

tidal geyser
#

Maybe it has something to do with how bad it is

empty quartz
stoic nova
# raven sluice what the hell is smt

Let me make this as simple as possible cause God knows shopping for CPU is not simple.

The spec sheet of a cpu is really worthless for telling you how good it is.

tidal geyser
#

Well with it on you get worse performance

stoic nova
#

Is that cause of HT or because of TDP

empty quartz
tidal geyser
#

It's what I have been told

empty quartz
stoic nova
#

Performance in what measure

empty quartz
tidal geyser
#

From my understanding hyperthreading reduces max core clocks aka for multi threaded things its worse but for things that are not like games it is

stoic nova
#

I'm gonna make a css script to replace every instance of the word performance with "mo better" that would be fun

tidal geyser
#

But turning off smt does not increase performance while with intel ht it does

stoic nova
#

It would make sense that the hot chip can do more with more room to breathe

teal sinew
#

raptorcove starts chugging power with a silly straw if you have HT enabled and push high clocks

south arrow
#

Sounds similar to multicore enhancement adds alot of power and temps for minimal gains

#

But havent tested any "hyperthreading" settings in particular

odd marsh
#

just get a cpu without HT

south arrow
#

Would need to be a specific use case itd seem for it to be a good feature

#

Something where needing more threads on a non limited core so it can do more

orchid lintel
#

Should the PSU fan face downwards or upwards inside the case

south arrow
#

Manual should show* , fan down though likely

wherever theres a vent for it to get air

If no vent downward then verticle ya

#

That fan needs air most importantly

The PSU goes at the top and theres no vents up there.

Fan goes upside down
