[dusk acorn]

That the cmos is either dying ir dead

[latent pasture]

u can buy like 4 cmos batteries for a dollar

[dusk acorn]

Yeah ill get it in a bit lol, i swear if thats the problem. I broke a clip in my psu to transfer it to his pc omg ahhaha

[tidal geyser]

WHAT

[latent pasture]

i dont think so but at this point check everything lol

[dusk acorn]

When i was removing the psu from my pc, the clip that locks it broke off

Corsair clips is so damn fragile

[tidal geyser]

what pic

look at my arduino stuff

[dusk acorn]

I dont understand a single thing lol

[tidal geyser]

take a pic of broken thing

[dusk acorn]

Well heres the 12hpwr one. It broke while it was inside the plastic lol

[tidal geyser]

ffs

[tidal geyser]

that is not 12vhpwer

[tired bear]

you know you can use internal pullup resistors?

[tidal geyser]

also its not easy to break

[tidal geyser]

i think that is what chat gpt did and why its not working :3

yes yes im not a true blooded programmer who spends every waking second on my pc

[tired bear]

neither am i but i do understand arduinos (atmega328p) to 98% proficiency

[dusk acorn]

Well it just chipped while in the plastic

[tidal geyser]

im doing something very dumb

i can feel it

[dusk acorn]

The black thing in the bottom of the bag

[tired bear]

easy short circut upon button press

[tidal geyser]

welp ama try chat again since it looks like the code is fucked anyways

[dusk acorn]

The last driver in nvidia is 566.36 should I try that?

[tidal geyser]

its not

[tidal geyser]

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/235904/

[tired bear]

one side of buttons goes to -. other goes to arduino pin
in code define internal pullups
if digital input is high then button is not pressed, if its low it is pressed

[latent pasture]

its not the latest but the new ones are buggiez so ppl are reverting to the older version

[dusk acorn]

Ight ill download rhat then

[tidal geyser]

also DDU

it only works as it should if you DDU

[tidal geyser]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xn8z39tiEL0

[dusk acorn]

Already did it

[tidal geyser]

o wow

[dusk acorn]

My last ditch effort is going to be, plugging it in my setup but then ill need to do all the ddu stuff cuz im using an amd gpu on mine lol

[latent pasture]

inb4 it transfers the disease to your pc and ur amd gpu also starts to crash

[dusk acorn]

Oh god nvm

Shoud I plug my gpu into his instead to see if its anything but the gpu making the problem

[latent pasture]

that wont happen
or at least shouldnt

[dusk acorn]

Not the driver lol

Still crashed, should i film it?

But wait, theres progress. It literally restarted itself. Usually it just stays black

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/crowpunk-cheese-challenge-repost-to-cheese-cat-cheese-cat-gif-4123783956472567463

[boreal vine]

jesus

this weather making my pc go

https://tenor.com/view/skeleton-burning-hell-pain-gif-17379863

[tidal geyser]

yeah 26c is not good

[swift thorn]

lol

in that case, dont come over here. 40C

[rigid fjord]

mines still chilling at it's usual despite the temps increase outside

though if this keeps up and hit's mid 30's to 40'ss in the uk, i'm fucked instead

[smoky locust]

Can someone look at this budget build, are there any glaring issues? Will I be ok gaming on high settings?

I'm not a noob but havne't build a PC in like 10 years. So super rusty.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MfpzRV

[boreal vine]

I mean mine okay

but its defo hotter than usual

[crimson temple]

whats a good mobo i can pair up with 9900x3d

budget around 200$

[tidal geyser]

saved 140 and got a better psu
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/d66ppK

[crimson temple]

was thinking of b650 tomahawk

[tidal geyser]

DO NOT buy a 9900X3D

[crimson temple]

why

[tidal geyser]

how many X3D cores does it have

[teal sinew]

it's the ugly middle child of the x3d family that is only ideal for a very small number of usecases

[tidal geyser]

how many cores does it have when gaming

[crimson temple]

I wont be using it only for gaming

[tidal geyser]

9000X3D cpus do not have the same issues as older ones did

[teal sinew]

depending on what youre doing the regular 9950x might be a better purchase at the same price

[smoky locust]

Sim I don't know what you mean.

Are you saying the PSU sucks?

[tidal geyser]

9950X or 9800X3D would be the better move

[crimson temple]

I would have just gotten 7800x3d

[teal sinew]

actually i think it's cheaper rn xd

[tidal geyser]

not really just that i managed to get a better one for cheaper

[crimson temple]

8 core

9950 expensive

[tidal geyser]

wat

[smoky locust]

Oh nice! I'm dealign with Tarrifs and price hicking though 😦

[crimson temple]

9800x3d is only 8 cores

[smoky locust]

the video card I got for 500, two weeks later it spiked to 750.

Also, I had to wait a month, it sat in china for customs FOREVER

[tidal geyser]

well i know that is why i used US pcpartpicker

[crimson temple]

and 9950X doesnt 3d v cache?

[tidal geyser]

9950X3D

[crimson temple]

Yeah thats like 200$ bucks more

[tidal geyser]

and that matters why?

[smoky locust]

Overall though, decent build? Should be ok for a while right?

[tidal geyser]

why do you need X3D

[tidal geyser]

yes

[crimson temple]

Because im not only using it for gaming

[smoky locust]

Ok ty!

[crimson temple]

Im trying to find balanced cpu

[teal sinew]

what is your other usecase?

[crimson temple]

3dmodeling, rendering etc

so yeah cpu is important

[tidal geyser]

you do know a 7600X has almost as much performance as a threadripper 2950X

[teal sinew]

i think you should get the regular 9950x over the 9900x3d if youre gonna be doing cpu renders

[tidal geyser]

aka 6 core 12 thread vs 16 core 32 thread

[teal sinew]

as for boards do you live in the USA? i can check real quick if you do

[tidal geyser]

rendering is gpu

[crimson temple]

not all of them

[tidal geyser]

simulations ofc cpu

[crimson temple]

i use 3dsmax which is cpu heavy

[tidal geyser]

so get a 9950X

[crimson temple]

idk i also want decent performance in gaming

wouldnt 3d v cache help with that

[teal sinew]

9950x does have decent performance in games xd

[crimson temple]

yeah but doesnt hte x3d have more

[teal sinew]

yeah but youre still getting 5.7GHz zen 5 cores with the 9950x, it's no slouch

[tidal geyser]

and it matters why?

[crimson temple]

for games?

[tidal geyser]

only game i know of that would really give a shit about this to a level for you to care this much is rust

[tidal geyser]

most games could not give less of a shit

[crimson temple]

ok

[tidal geyser]

you also need a good enough gpu

[crimson temple]

im getting the 5070 ti

[tidal geyser]

yeah like i said

[crimson temple]

good enough

[teal sinew]

boards uhhhhhhh

[tidal geyser]

i do really really hope you do not use 1080p

[crimson temple]

ofc not

[teal sinew]

B850 Tomahawk MAX is $225 right now if you live in the USA

[tidal geyser]

MSI B840 GAMING PLUS WIFI ATX AM5 Motherboard is 133USD right now

[teal sinew]

do not buy anything b840 or a620 period

[tidal geyser]

why

[teal sinew]

shit boards

lacklustre io, locked down

[tidal geyser]

you can still pbo and ram OC

[teal sinew]

you should only consider those if you have a really small budget

this guy is looking at $500 cpus he should get a nicer board

[tidal geyser]

it has wifi 7 and 10gig usb-a and c port

anyways look at this funny part about it

[crimson temple]

man i aint spending 400$ on a mobo

around 200 is fine

does it evne make a difference

[tidal geyser]

not really

[crimson temple]

ok so ur advice is to get the 9950x and the 3d v cache doesnt boost performance in anyway in games

[tidal geyser]

it can but for you not enough to really get it

[teal sinew]

v cache does help, but the 9950x is still an awesome cpu for gaming

[tidal geyser]

anyways it would be 6X3D cores with the 9900X3D anyways

[teal sinew]

people act like anything less than a 9800x3d sucks for games when that's not true at all xd

im using a 9800x3d

it's cool, but in my use it has made quite literally 0 difference

[crimson temple]

what does the 3d v cache even do

[tidal geyser]

more l3 cache

[teal sinew]

having more cache lets the cores store more data closer to themselves instead of having to read from your ram which is much slower and higher latency

that's why it helps gaming performance

[tidal geyser]

and for some games its insane how much performance you can get

[crimson temple]

what games

[teal sinew]

you see the most benefit in simulator games and vr gaming

[crimson temple]

well i only wanna story games

[teal sinew]

but it gives a nice bump in most newer demanding games

[tidal geyser]

rust

[crimson temple]

and by performance boost do u mean like loading times

[teal sinew]

no a higher framerate

[crimson temple]

or does it effect the fps

ok

[teal sinew]

assuming youre not gpu limited

which is likely if youre gonna be playing demanding single player games at high settings

[crimson temple]

im getting the 5070ti so should be good

ok i wanted mobo recommendations

B850 Tomahawk MAX

[tidal geyser]

yea

[crimson temple]

damn it looks ugly

[teal sinew]

if you wanna spend around 200usd then i think that's the most feature-rich

but yeah it's not a pretty board

[crimson temple]

whats this

[teal sinew]

an external wifi antenna with a magnetic base

[crimson temple]

ok

never seen a antenna for a mobo before

[teal sinew]

if you want a prettier board for around the same price then there's the Gigabyte B850 Aorus Elite Wifi7

[crimson temple]

looks nice

[tidal geyser]

antenna

[crimson temple]

ok now for ram

[teal sinew]

i dont know how much memory youll need for whatever rendering youre doing in 3dsmax, but 2x32GB kits are good value nowadays

[crimson temple]

yeah just suggest me a good brand

thinking of the corsair vengeance ddr5-6000 ones

[teal sinew]

look for 2x32GB 6000cl30-38-38-96, it doesnt matter which brand it comes from because they'll all be using similar dram chips from SK-Hynix

[crimson temple]

ok

what does the cl30 represent

[elder quarry]

CAS Latency

[crimson temple]

so should only get the cl30

lower latency

[elder quarry]

It’s not that big of a difference

[crimson temple]

ok

[elder quarry]

cl36 is fine

[empty quartz]

I know its not new news, but the lidar on iPhones is still such a cool feature

[crimson temple]

yeah something u use once and never again

[empty quartz]

You*

i use mine quite often

[crimson temple]

scans?

[empty quartz]

Yeah

[crimson temple]

ok

idk if the measure app uses lidar to measure but i use that

[empty quartz]

Example a

[crimson temple]

thats about it

clean up ur house

[versed ferry]

Yeah I legitmately don't know what people are smoking when they say that. Like, there are some specific games that require (or work better with) a more powerful CPU, but there's a reason that an Intel i5 or a Ryzen 5 have been the recommended CPU level for the past 15 years. You can't beat the price to performance if you stick with an i5/Ryzen 5 and just upgrade them over the years. I say that as someone with an i9.

[empty quartz]

Not my stuff, not my problem

[crimson temple]

true

only ur room matters

[empty quartz]

And the spaces i use

But if my family leaves a mess, its their problem

[fringe prairie]

it does

[crimson temple]

yeah the measure app is nice

[empty quartz]

I use real measurement tools because accuracy is important

[crimson temple]

well its for quick measurement

and its pretty accurate

[empty quartz]

I use calipers if i need accuracy

[strong grove]

Support bracket came in... W

[tidal geyser]

im just imagining you doing this for a house

[rough wing]

????

Some guy saying his 3070ti mobile was equivalent to a 1660

[tidal geyser]

not really lying

[rough wing]

Every website I’ve seen was saying it’s equivalent to a 3070 desktop

[tidal geyser]

did you say max q or not?

[rough wing]

He just said ti

[tidal geyser]

then how can you figure out the perforamnce

[rough wing]

I’m going off what this guy said lol anyways he wants 900 for a 1660 build

[tidal geyser]

xd maybe AUS

nah even then its bad

[rough wing]

yeah lol saying the 1660s are as fast as the 3070ti mobile and desktop

[tidal geyser]

well 3070 ti desktop is something different

anyways a 1660 can almost be as fast as some 3070 ti mobile versions

[abstract wigeon]

i hate not playing games at max graphics but 8gb vram is really humbling now im at 1440p

i payed for the whole game. im going to be able to see the whole game

[merry nest]

pulled the trigger on a 3d printer

[tidal geyser]

YESSSSSS

LETS GOOOOO, more printers for the army

[abstract wigeon]

nicee whatd u get?

[tidal geyser]

what printer was it

[merry nest]

creality v3 ke

[tidal geyser]

well

at least its a printer that can print

yeah its one of em with klipper

[plush flame]

i agree

[tidal geyser]

and Input shaping

[tidal geyser]

XD get rekt

[merry nest]

filament is pretty expensive tho we'll see if this is a sustainable hobby for me

[tidal geyser]

pirating or what

[plush flame]

lol mlg 360 no scope

[tidal geyser]

20$ for a 1KG spool is not a lot

[merry nest]

sure, but i'm defenitely going to be stingy with it

[plush wren]

Hi

[tired bear]

tf did you do

[tidal geyser]

lets hope it was not cyberpunk

[tired bear]

yep.

[tidal geyser]

i hope he was just sailing

dam i got 2hrs left until i need to finish the document of arduino code thingys

[tired bear]

is it still not working?

[tidal geyser]

i gave up buut anyways i have a WHOLE document of different ones

[tired bear]

wdym diffrent ones

[tidal geyser]

as in i have lots and lots of different tasks as in things i need to make and then code for

[hidden hill]

why is the ryzen 7 9800x3d so good, all the benchmarks ive looked at have it far ahead everything

[tired bear]

large amount of cache

[hidden hill]

looking at its price, i have no clue how anyone could justify the intel core ultra 9

[crimson temple]

why even buy intel

[hidden hill]

i guess the ultra 9 has that efficiency benefit

[hidden hill]

i mean i would never if i was building, just that soooo many prebuilt options use intels newest product

[tired bear]

vpro

[tidal geyser]

pleas do not play at 1080p i beg you

[crimson temple]

play at 1080p

[hidden hill]

i play at 4k

[crimson temple]

60hz monitor

[tired bear]

*plays at 800x600

[crimson temple]

the best way to play

[hidden hill]

is it bad compared to others at 1080?

[tidal geyser]

only one guy really benched it and got good results at 4k

[tidal geyser]

the 9800X3D NUKES at 1080p but not so much at 4k

some games still

[hidden hill]

somebody sent a benchmark here last night that had it ahead of everything at 4k

could be misremembering

[tidal geyser]

me

[hidden hill]

ultra 9 was below the 14th gen i9

[tidal geyser]

always

[hidden hill]

that is insane to me

[modern scarab]

hi

[tidal geyser]

not really

[hidden hill]

i mean that its insane that intel released a product that is worse than the last

[modern scarab]

sim

[hidden hill]

at the same pricepoint

[gloomy sleet]

idk guys seems kinda fishy

[tidal geyser]

here it is
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GIvrMWzr9k&t

[crimson temple]

the 3d v cachce gives u extra frames yes @tidal geyser

[tidal geyser]

not how it works

[crimson temple]

but it wont make much diff when im already getting 140 fps yes

[hidden hill]

so in what environment would a setup with a 5080+ryzen 7 9800X3d, thrive?

[tidal geyser]

rust

[hidden hill]

hmm, some games i play are bg3, oblivion remaster, MHW, wuthering waves, and graphically intensive skyrim modlists

[tired bear]

and then you store rust on spinning rust to make load times take half a hour

[hidden hill]

never played rust but it is easy to run i thought

[tidal geyser]

i would say its not that bad buuut yeeaah nooo its HORRIBLE

[tired bear]

it is

[crimson temple]

so wtf is the 3d v cache doing if not fps boost

[tired bear]

litreally big cache

[hidden hill]

feels like cpus intruduce so many variables when it comes to performance, hard as a consumer to know whats best for you

[crimson temple]

ok so its just loading times

[tired bear]

no

[tidal geyser]

omg has sombody not already JUST done this with you

[tired bear]

i reffer you to the Chatgpt consultant

[crimson temple]

well other people are saying diff things

that v cache matters alot in games

[tidal geyser]

no they are not

[tidal geyser]

it can

welp i should get back to it

[tired bear]

lmk if you need help with that

[hidden hill]

what cpu do you guys use?

[tired bear]

this is such a broad question you cannot even fathom

[tidal geyser]

ngl i found out i can just search for the task name in tinkercad and just joink other peoples stuff and then change it a bit and ofc fix it so it works as most of the time its a wee bit fucked

[hidden hill]

it is? was asking in your personal gaming computers what is the cpu inside it

[tidal geyser]

anyways thanks for the offer at least

[hidden hill]

like the product name

[tidal geyser]

7800X3D in mine

[trim gyro]

that'd just be a 5800X3D for me

[tidal geyser]

and 7940X in my server

[trim gyro]

but I also have a 5600G test rig

[tidal geyser]

and a i5 1335u in one of my laptops

r5 3600 in another that i changed from a 3950X in my laptop

[hidden hill]

is this basically an older 9800x3d? the naming conventions are a joy 🙂

[tired bear]

i "use" everything from risc in the arduino to datacenter arm and x86 cpus

[trim gyro]

9800X3D > 7800X3D > 5800X3D

[tidal geyser]

the only arm cpu i own and use every day is my phone

well watch too

and that reminds me i need to repair it

[hidden hill]

gotcha, and where would a 9900x rank in there?

my current pc uses a i7 13700kf

[tidal geyser]

9900X is a bit wonky

[hidden hill]

which im pretty sure is decent but idk, never got the stability issues others did

[trim gyro]

somewhere in between, depending on how well programs make use of the extra cores or more L3 cache in the X3D cpus

[tired bear]

i dont own it but i do use it

[hidden hill]

benchmarks low, but seems to be the current popular cpu that prebuilt companies use

[tidal geyser]

very nice

[hidden hill]

maybe its good for its pricepoint?

[modern scarab]

i recently plugged in my cpu fan cooler did i put it in the wrong slotM

?

it not going fast

[trim gyro]

dunno, not enough context

[tidal geyser]

not really its just so they can say it has a r9

[trim gyro]

try adjusting your fan curves in BIOS

[tidal geyser]

show pic

[modern scarab]

ok hold

[tired bear]

its ampere altra

[modern scarab]

give me sec

[hidden hill]

the name is annoying, because the layman (me) would assume its better than the 7800 or 9800x3d

[trim gyro]

it can be better

[hidden hill]

9 doesn't automatically mean better than 7 i guess

[modern scarab]

its plugged in cpu fan

[hidden hill]

for intel it always does though right?

[modern scarab]

it goes fast but not at first

[gentle kestrel]

if you're doing multithreaded work it'll be better

[modern scarab]

at first it does 600 rpm

[tidal geyser]

the cpu fan is plugged into cpu fan 😐

[tidal geyser]

normal

[modern scarab]

it give me startup error

[tidal geyser]

yeaah

[tidal geyser]

too bad

[modern scarab]

do i just increase startup time in bios

[tidal geyser]

no amd is mostly still best right now

[gentle kestrel]

i meant the 9900x

[tidal geyser]

i guess so

[modern scarab]

thanks man

[tidal geyser]

well its a very funky cpu

[gentle kestrel]

if you're using the cores it's fine

if you're buying it for gaming then i just wouldn't though

[tired bear]

big ahh vm

[hidden hill]

another question btw, can performance vary significantly on a gpu depending on the manufacturer, in this case a 5080?

[gentle kestrel]

years ago yeah, now not really

most oc cards are gonna have barely a difference in clock vs stock models

[tidal geyser]

no

[hidden hill]

why do some of the prices go so much higher then? some asus models are way up

[gentle kestrel]

asus poises themselves as a premium brand so they just charge more

[tired bear]

no,get the the cheapest model from reputable manufactuer

[hidden hill]

of course lol

[gentle kestrel]

the astral has some nice features but it's not worth the cost of admission

[hidden hill]

yeah i saw a linus video on a 5090 forgot the version though, supposed to be the priciest one out there

[gentle kestrel]

i'd just look for something with decent power delivery and a decent heatsink and you're basically golden

most of the 40 and 50 series cards have gigantic heatsinks as is

[vital roost]

How tf does it go to 8ghz… I haven’t done any tweaking to it, it’s stock…

Is that healthy?

[clear canyon]

Its not hitting 8ghz lol

[tidal geyser]

its not

its just hwmonitor being trash as always

use hwinfo

[vital roost]

That’s good, I was scared for a second that my cpu is gone

[kindred halo]

What's the difference between the MSI H610M-E & S?

[clear canyon]

The "E" and "S" in the name

[kindred halo]

I can't find any details through their sites

[trim gyro]

8Ghz is a very good OC :3

[hidden hill]

Okay good to know, ty

[clear canyon]

Implode

https://tenor.com/view/cringe-gif-22399496

[vital roost]

I’ll try that, thanks

[hidden hill]

Okay yeah I think the one I saw was the astral, what is the point of it? There’s got to be some benefit

[raven warren]

i build a pc with a ryzen 5 3600 and a rx580 for 200bucks is it good ?

[hidden hill]

At least a non trivial benefit

[kindred halo]

Found the difference

@clear canyon H610M-E has 2x SATA 3, and H610M-S has 4

[tidal geyser]

yes

[tidal geyser]

sensor only

[kindred halo]

Oh and 610M-S lacks a VGA port

[clear canyon]

So less ancient

[kindred halo]

Both are PCIe 3.0 for the NVMe

But 4.0 for the GPU

[clear canyon]

Will make a good server

[kindred halo]

This is for my main build </3

[clear canyon]

Lol

[kindred halo]

Wait, is QLC a shite type of data packing, or?

I remember that SLC is the best but nothing more

Okay should I just get a Sn850 for $67

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/nuh-uh-cat-ghoul-gif-15685393113271845735

[kindred halo]

It's the cheapest NVMe 1TB drive

.. Besides an NV3

[crimson estuary]

I should move this over to the other slot right?

[rigid fjord]

it's a poor nand type to use due to much lower endurance

[kindred halo]

Yeah I just rechecked

4 bits per cell

[kindred halo]

Move it to the slot closest to the CPU

[crimson estuary]

Bet preciate it

[kindred halo]

My brain did a funny for a second don't mind it

[crimson estuary]

Also what do yall recommend to try and clean a dusty ass pc I got this from someone and this shit is dustyyyy

[kindred halo]

Is TLC also shite or is it more decent

It's 3 bits but I don't know just how much it impacts longevity

[rigid fjord]

more decent, better endurance than going for qlc nand

[kindred halo]

If you can get one, compressed air can and an open area

It'll clean it like a dream

[rigid fjord]

a dry clean paintbrush that's never seen paint and a hoover

[crimson estuary]

I have the compressed air but I feel like it might mess it up idk

[kindred halo]

In that case.. Is it justifiable to pay 75 USD for a TLC 1TB drive?

It's a WD Blue Sn580

[rigid fjord]

it can be, yes

[kindred halo]

Thank ya :3

[rigid fjord]

this is suggested to you before tbh

[kindred halo]

Sn7100 is available for 79 pre tax.. Which totals out to 88 iirc

Hm?

Okay the 7100 is also TLC

I don't think it's worth paying the 10 US extra.. Unless there's something that makes the price difference worth it?

Where can I get a copy of Windows 2000 Pro Embedded

why

[trim gyro]

there's probably an archive somewhere

internet archive?

Yeah I've been trying for the last week and that hasn't helped

[tidal geyser]

too bad

[orchid breach]

This is all I can find about it

[tidal geyser]

why do you even want it

[orchid breach]

I want to learn more about it

[tidal geyser]

what

this is what i can find
The Original Dell and IBM appliances (POS and i think there was even a laptop with 2K embedded) were custom made directly by Microsoft, so for these besides the obvious disk-images of sold appliances there was never a real "Install CD" as you'd expect. However, derived from this small adventure by Microsoft was their "Windows 2000 Appliance Kit" which was at least announced to be available for OEM manufacturers. I can't remember having seen any 2000 embedded on a non-Dell/IBM machine but if these exist it would be proof that the Windows 2000 Appliance Kit was at least "released". I have never seen "install discs" for 2000 embedded which however must not mean much.

The "Windows XP embedded Studio" which derived from Microsofts customization tools and component database used to setup the WIn2K embedded machines is however rather common. I have the 3 disc set of Windows XP Embedded Studio SP2 and the Windows XP embedded Studio SP1/SP2/all Muis trial" with the obligatory 120 days crack.

Does it really matter if I leave this unscrewed?

It’s not aligning perfectly

[tidal geyser]

why not screw it in

[lethal bay]

Probably fine

[tidal geyser]

also that is the one you want to screw in

[crimson estuary]

I can’t the screw would be at an angle

[tidal geyser]

the top one meh

Facebook suspended my account for some reason, I've only used messenger, haven't used Facebook itself for well over 5 years

Can someone tell me what exactly just happened

[tired bear]

no but i bet they can https://www.facebook.com/help/search/?q=contact facebook

[merry nest]

Yeah very funny

I requested a manual review, weird

I would have deleted this shit ages ago but my family uses it so yeah

[merry nest]

Fixed it, I originally deactived the account myself but facebook made it sound like they banned it

[empty quartz]

Its closer to a 7600 or 6650xt

[merry nest]

Looks like they disabled messenger for disabled accounts or something like that

[solid crown]

how do you forget you deactivated the account lmao

[merry nest]

I did not, I deactived it so I wouldn't share anything stupid by accident, I could still use messenger

Until today for some reason

[solid crown]

there may be a timer until it deactivates fully

[merry nest]

Huh, sounds like undocumented behavior

Maybe I should file a bug report

[junior zinc]

who knows how could i countroll my pc argb fans with 3pin connector but my motherboard dont got it how could i convert it or something so i could controll my fan colors via software in my computer

[winter lantern]

I feel like I did scam myself not buying this pc with a 4070tis and 14900k 😔 for 1500

I mean its still available

Just not enough money

[tidal geyser]

I wish

[tidal geyser]

Repair the 4090 and sell it for 2k

[winter lantern]

But its a risk that it wont work and ill be out 500$ 🥀

[tidal geyser]

Out 500??????

You have a big brick worth almost nothing as of now

[winter lantern]

Worth more then -500

[tidal geyser]

Its a brick

[winter lantern]

With the valuable parts on it still

[tidal geyser]

Nobody will give you more the 200 for it

[tidal geyser]

No

[winter lantern]

Someone offered 600 for it

[tidal geyser]

You have no clue what is broken on it

[tidal geyser]

You can get it repaired for like 200 and sell it for 2k

And no its not a risk

You are just being a big baby believing everything some people claim is a real issue

[winter lantern]

I should just buy the 1400-1600$ 4090s on marketplace and sell them for 2100 on ebay fr

[winter lantern]

There definitely is a risk that it just can't be fixed

Sagging can ruin the core

Usually ruins the balls under it tho

[midnight atlas]

yooo

[formal sonnet]

Correct. You need a Facebook account to use Messenger. I stand corrected: it looks like they let you keep Messenger active whilst deactivating your Facebook account, however, this depends on how you deactivate it.

What upgrade would be recommended for 400£
Main games : occasional triple a title , cyberpunk, r6 and beamng

[sinful cobalt]

upgrade to 5700x3d for cpu and get another 16gb of ram

idk abt pricing for u tho

[junior zinc]

who knows how could i countroll my pc argb fans with 3pin connector but my motherboard dont got it how could i convert it or something so i could controll my fan colors via software in my computer

[gusty wagon]

If your fan has 3pin for argb, you need a separate argb controller (hardware)

It'll plug into your ush 2.0 slot and use up a sata power connection, so i hope you have spares of that

[junior zinc]

i dont got argb connected my motherboard dont support 3 pin i need somekind of addon for that

but is there any like connectors etc so i cold conteroll em fully with a app

[gusty wagon]

Reread

[junior zinc]

but do you know any argb controlles

[gusty wagon]

if you want a link though https://www.coolermaster.com/en-global/products/argb-led-controller/

There's dozens of similar things ok the internet

I linked this because i used to work in a pc store that sells this

[junior zinc]

how does it work exactly tho its get power from sata but how does it connect ot the pc

[gusty wagon]

https://coolermaster.egnyte.com/dl/joqG0rvkIb

[strong grove]

God I love it sm

[gusty wagon]

Use your motherboard oem's software or signalrgb to control the argb

[junior zinc]

mine should work with rgb fusion than

[junior zinc]

but if i add that than i can controll the fan colors with in a software right

but i got a question my case came with smh like this what is it for

[solid crown]

got you to click on it hey

[junior zinc]

is it like all into one kind of thing i got all other things connected to my motherboard other than the vgd port and arg input

[lethal bay]

I’ve dailied it since I got it, like it a lot. Raising the lift off distance fixed my skipping issue.

[vital zenith]

I got myself in the spot where I have 4 ARGB things in my case and Corsair icue software can only control two. Motherboard software can only control two. The GPU has its own software.

The software is fighting over the ram. It keeps changing to a different rainbow wave pattern

[gusty wagon]

This does exactly the same thing just that it doesn't have a usb 2.0 port for motherboards without argb pins

[junior zinc]

so dumb got a 120 eur motherboard with no argb

[gusty wagon]

... nor does it have an infrared controller

[gusty wagon]

Which model is it?

[junior zinc]

its the b550 gaming v2 or smh

[boreal vine]

how you finding it? also told ya! 😄

it's abit finicky with the mousepad

Cool phone

[junior zinc]

got that one yea

let me look

where it say 1,4 on the box

it says rev 1,3

https://arvutitark.ee/en/pc-components/motherboards/gigabyte-b550-gaming-x-v2-1004771 got this

[cerulean summit]

Anybody have issues with the black screen before the login screen before? Potentially after hard shut down? I’m at work and trying to get fix ideas for when I get home

I took the rev 1.4 image, the argb pins are in the same place

[barren mist]

i don't see any question channels in here anyone mind helping me w an upgrade related decision?

Check the red boxes in the top left and bottom right corners

[junior zinc]

is it the D led

omg man

[gusty wagon]

You'll learn how to spot things quickly after working in a pc store ;)

[junior zinc]

it even says it on the box 🤦🏻‍♂️

[junior zinc]

idk how i didnt notice that

thats why you dont build a pc at 4 am

[gusty wagon]

Now you do, go ahead and have fun

[barren mist]

built a new rig in 2022, 3060ti / ryzen 7 5700g. computer worked wonders up until I went from 1080p 240hz - to 1440p 240hz. games are noticeably not hitting framerates that "i" consider super playable, most notably oblivion remaster/avowed. looking to build a new rig, leaning towards ryzen 7800x3d/a 9070 xt 16gb but also on the fence ab sticking w nvidia and copping a 5070ti

[junior zinc]

thank you

[gusty wagon]

I play games on these settings to get decent framerates

Mhwilds

• 1440p
• 80-100fps
• medium settings
• framegen on
• fsr quality preset
• no raytracing

Helldivers 2

• 1440p
• 80-100fps
• medium-high settings
• framegen off

My build is 5800X3D, 6800XT and 32GB 3800CL19
If you do play heavier games like that, maybe something like the 6750XT or 6800XT with 16GB of ram

[barren mist]

my computer performs similarly i'd say, I want something beefier tho, the real question is do I upgrade to a 5070ti or a 9070 xt

[sinful cobalt]

I use this to get crashes

[sinful cobalt]

get either which that is closest to msrp

[gusty wagon]

Oh, the 9070XT looks to be an excellent value for the raw performance it's offering

[sinful cobalt]

basically, the cheaper one

[solid crown]

if the 9070xt is $800 get the 5070ti

if the 9070xt is $700 or less get that

[sinful cobalt]

and what if the 9070xt is somehow msrp

[barren mist]

canadian here.. nvidia prices are high i'll do the conversion rq

[sinful cobalt]

ok i take it back

[barren mist]

9070xt is like $780 5070ti is $900

[gusty wagon]

Ah, your currencies are similar to ours

Woah, a $780 9070XT

[solid crown]

is that CAD pricing or USD pricing

[barren mist]

usd

[gusty wagon]

... oh

[solid crown]

wtf

both of those are terrible prices

[sinful cobalt]

Yea uh.

[gusty wagon]

I was happy for a moment when i saw that you're a canadian and you posted those prices

And it's usd :(

[barren mist]

this is from a computer store, not newegg though

[gusty wagon]

Put two blocks of wood for the feet rest on and prop the case up

[sinful cobalt]

our 9070xt is basically $666 usd before taxes

[barren mist]

prices are similar

[gusty wagon]

I don't trust newegg anymore

:)

[barren mist]

nah i just checked newegg prices identical to canadacomputers, but i can walk in & pick the parts up in person

[sinful cobalt]

Dont have any, was gonna get but I literally forgot it 2 months ago

[barren mist]

i think it is a shitty time to purchase gpus in canada, tariffs and supply are awful

but i want to upgrade for my own sake & so i can slide my gf my old pc

[gusty wagon]

Anywhere, really

[barren mist]

canadian dollar also rock bottom tho, odds are not in our favour 😂

[sinful cobalt]

actually i should probably indeed get the feet

[solid crown]

yall got tariffs?

[barren mist]

this is the first purchase i've made where i've noticed prices being super wonky ngl

[sinful cobalt]

@gusty wagon u got any blocks for feet suggestions?

[solid crown]

yeah the current market is just youre rich enough to afford the pricing or youre waiting

[grizzled frost]

Tariffs affect everyone

[barren mist]

do you think dlss upscaling/framegen tech is enough to justify 100usd more than the 9070xt?

[sinful cobalt]

If u play in 4k yes

[grizzled frost]

you're the only person who can answer that question

[sinful cobalt]

1440p its a maybe

[barren mist]

i'm not tripping spending 100 more at the end of the day, but most videos the framerates seem so similar & i've really never understood upscaling or how it works, when it came out i just started using it

[barren mist]

1440p 240hz

[grizzled frost]

upscaling works by rendering at a lower resolution, then using an AI model to upscale it to your native resolution

[gusty wagon]

I used these before and the fabric tore, but the wood and the ropes seemed fine so I washed the ropes & kept the wood. I had two sets and taped the two pieces together for both and used them as feet.

[sinful cobalt]

If you’re willing to, go ahead

[solid crown]

honestly with DLSS 4 1440p balanced is usable

FSR 4 is good too though

[sinful cobalt]

That is creative as fk icl

[gusty wagon]

So, they were support for human feet and then support for pc feet

[sinful cobalt]

DLSS has way more implementation than FSR is also another fact

[solid crown]

true true

[barren mist]

yeah, i saw in a video that there's an optiscaler program that can force fsr4 onto a lot of games but i'm not sure how annoying it is to get working

[sinful cobalt]

I need to check if I have anything similar 1st lmao

[barren mist]

feel like gaming is heading in a direction where even on top tier cards frame generation & upscaling is going to be a requirement or a baseline for them. not sure if that's a conspiracy/tweaker thought, but if that's the case i'm leaning towards the 5070ti solely due to nvidia being ahead in that regard

[sinful cobalt]

Unoptimisation engine 5 son, it requires upscaling upon shitting itself

[solid crown]

well if they do push for FG to be mainstream they need to fix the latency issue

[barren mist]

don't really keep up to date with all the tech until it comes time to upgrade so i'm super appreciative of all this

[barren mist]

yeah ue5 makes my 3060ti feel like how my 1060 did like 7 years after buying it, except i bought my 3060ti like 2 years ago lmfao

[solid crown]

3060ti is quite a good card too

[grizzled frost]

In games like Jedi Survivor, right?

[solid crown]

well it used to be

[boreal vine]

fuck ue5

it's a piece of shit engine

[sinful cobalt]

@gusty wagon in ur opinion would u spend $140 on a mesh to make up for the 250 mbps speed? in comparison to the other room getting 800

[gusty wagon]

I would spend $25 on a copper wire

[sinful cobalt]

aka smth I cant do lol

[grizzled frost]

why not?

[gusty wagon]

I have naught but scorn and disdain for gaming desktops using wireless

[sinful cobalt]

I am not allowed to mod the house bruh

[grizzled frost]

Run a cable along the crown moulding or something

[sinful cobalt]

and the placement of my room means there will be a wire on the ground

[solid crown]

we ball

tell your parents youre just training their situation awareness, their fault if they trip

[sinful cobalt]

bro the green room is where im at and the blue part is the router

[woven swallow]

can I install the nvidia app without nvidia gpu? I just ordered a 5070 ti got the code for the game it comes with and wanted to redeem it but I need the app to redeem the code?

[grizzled frost]

yes

[grizzled frost]

run a cable along the crown moulding...

[sinful cobalt]

the purple shit are the other rooms

the closest room to the wifi gets 7-800 mbps while my pc in the green 1 gets like 200-250 since its literally on the farthest end

[barren mist]

okay I was just asking about a 5070ti you saying you ordered one makes me want to fit in

decision has been made I think

[sinful cobalt]

i also cant do that, dont got permission to

[solid crown]

bro is peer pressuring himself 💀

[woven swallow]

how?

[sinful cobalt]

Like if it was my own house then ok ah but it isnt 💀

[grizzled frost]

you need permission for some double sided tape?

[grizzled frost]

google:

nvidia app install

[barren mist]

plan on picking the parts up next weekend when me and my gf go to the city.. casually dropping 2.5k cad on date night

[sinful cobalt]

it is going to stick out like a sore thumb on the ceiling no?

[woven swallow]

I did that when I try to install it it says "You need a nvidia gpu to install this"

[sinful cobalt]

so my best solution as proposed by sim is mesh

[barren mist]

she’s going to be pissed until she learns she can play the sims & any game she wants on my soon to be old rig

[grizzled frost]

run a cable along the crown moulding...

[sinful cobalt]

I know what tf you mean but my aunt isnt gonna take that 💀

[grizzled frost]

if you google it, you would see:

[sinful cobalt]

I know u mean that, I have done it before in another house

But my aunt doesnt allow me to do stuff like this

so thats why my best option rn is mesh!11

[grizzled frost]

womp womp, get the mesh system then

[sinful cobalt]

u motherf-

[grizzled frost]

seems you already have your choice made, why are you here?

[sinful cobalt]

Im asking if u think its worth it

to improve 250mbps

[grizzled frost]

you're the only person who can answer that

is 250mbps difference worth 140usd to you

[sinful cobalt]

not usd, singapore dollars

[woven swallow]

so do you know how to or you just assumed it was possible and told me yes assuming that I hadnt already tried? 💀

[grizzled frost]

The latter

wait for your GPU then

[tardy badger]

3080 12GB for 450 or 6800XT for 400 USD ? I mostly use 1080P but have my sim racing rig with 4k

[sinful cobalt]

in my honest opinion 3080 12g for DLSS

[tardy badger]

But dlss is irrelevant in simracing , thats why im questioning my decision

[grizzled frost]

why exactly is it "irrelevant"?

[tardy badger]

As you only need raster, sim racing games dont have all those options

[sinful cobalt]

both cards are only decent for 4k tbh

[tardy badger]

Like frame gen or fsr etc

[grizzled frost]

most sim games definitely support dlss

[frigid blade]

yes, they definitely do

[sinful cobalt]

u dont have frame gen on both cards anyway, and dlss is supported way more than fsr

[frigid blade]

I know Assetto Corsa supports DLSS

[tardy badger]

The new one

I play the old one

[grizzled frost]

ah yes, the one i knew i knew

[sinful cobalt]

the old one is easy as fuck to run anyway

im pretty sure it has modern day baked potato somewhere there

oh my god the fucking wifi connectivity shat itself

[frigid blade]

speaking of, we finally got internet at the new place \O/

Well, installation is tomorrow

Definitely need to get used to sleeping here, it feels weird

[sinful cobalt]

im still stuck between getting a mesh or a new mobo (n using the old one as a test bench)

[frigid blade]

Im going to see what the coverage looks like when they install it, if its not that good I've already preinstalled conduit to set up an AP in the hallway

That’s the loop I’m in I can get in long enough to load into a game and then it crashes. I can hear audio through my headset so I think the traveling caused the slot to become loose

[left dove]

what slot

[ancient fern]

Also found some 128MB rdram and 1gb Hynix ram from 2006 (probably ddr2?)

[runic chasm]

Pcie

[left dove]

so reseat your gpu

[desert tinsel]

what temps do u get

[runic chasm]

I did didn’t fix it. It looks like a little gpu sag

[left dove]

?????? what kind of question is that if they can't boot into windows to see temps

[runic chasm]

I’ll try to get into windows to see temps

[steel umbra]

so anything from a junky x870 to $$$$ x870

any pictures of the pc?

[left dove]

if it was temperature it'd be power cycling.

[hidden hill]

yeah one sec

as rock

[runic chasm]

It worked perfectly this morning before I moved. I drove 2 hours to my new house now it’s broken lol

[hidden hill]

i like as rock

[left dove]

unplug everything and plug it back in idk

[hidden hill]

not sure how good this one is, hoping it has a good ethernet card

[runic chasm]

I’m trying to get into windows for temp

[left dove]

its not temperature omfg

[runic chasm]

Ok

[hidden hill]

okay x870 Pro RS

is that a decent one?

this is what it says for the lan connection

[steel umbra]

should be fine

[steel umbra]

yes

if not overkill for most users

[hidden hill]

oh wow nice, good to know they didnt cheap out then

[tulip sparrow]

that particular set I am pretty sure is DDR2 Sodimm

[tulip sparrow]

ALWAYS TAKE cards out before moving

Very likely damaged the slot/card during the move

[steel umbra]

no, open up your pc and take out the support bracket instead
then carry the pc outside and drop it from two meters and watch your gpu’s pcie crackin and deforming your reinforced pcie slot as well

[hidden hill]

not sure if i should be looking at the ai overview but it sounds like it may have faster speeds than my current rig

[steel umbra]

don ask this

[minor cove]

Most networking gear is gonna be 1Gbps but can find 10Gbps consumer stuff too

[steel umbra]

gemini sucks

[left dove]

just because you have 2.5g lan doesn't mean your internet is going to be faster.

[hidden hill]

yeah, wish it didnt show up over other things

[steel umbra]

disable it

there is a filter for google

[tulip sparrow]

if your cuss while searching it won't pop up

[minor cove]

eh in this case don't think it said anything necessarily wrong and can check the references it links for more detail of what it's sourcing the info from

[hidden hill]

could run an internet test, assuming the speed of it only goes as far as your isp can take it?

[minor cove]

yup on the LAN you can get way higher speeds but for WAN/internet limited by ISP speeds

[left dove]

yor internet speed is what you pay your isp for, not what kind of networking chipset you have

[hidden hill]

well doesnt your chipset help take your speed further?

[tulip sparrow]

Newer consumergrade networking is starting to come with 2.5/5gb ports onboard

[left dove]

i have 2gig internet, I kinda need a 2.5g ethernet port but that's besides the point

2.5g is just becoming the new default standard over 1g

[tulip sparrow]

higher speed networking helps when dealing with local networking in the home

[hidden hill]

think im using a cat 7 cable rn

[left dove]

😂

5e can handle 2.5g

[hidden hill]

idk if the cable matters

[left dove]

no, and cat7 isn't an actual thing lmao

[steel umbra]

i recommend ublock’s filtering feature on firefox

[hidden hill]

wdym? was advertised on the package

wtf did i buy then lmao

[left dove]

do you buy the $40 hdmi cables because they promise better signal integrity

[tulip sparrow]

Don't we have CAT8 cabling now?

[steel umbra]

or <something>-18 i forgor on plain google

[hidden hill]

didnt know it can do stuff like that tbh

[hidden hill]

no

i just use display ports if i can but i dont buy expensive cables

[left dove]

then why would you buy an expensive ethernet cable on the promise of better internet speeds

[hidden hill]

the cable i bought was like 25$

[left dove]

LMAO

[hidden hill]

but its like 30ft

[left dove]

😂

[hidden hill]

distance from my router to the pc is long, have to run it under the house

[tulip sparrow]

I would only pay $25 if it was like a 100m run or something lol

[left dove]

^

[hidden hill]

idk just picked it up from menards like 2 years ago

[minor cove]

https://tripplite.eaton.com/products/ethernet-cable-types

[hidden hill]

wasnt a super serious well thought over purchase

[left dove]

stop buying expensive things because the packaging says HIGH SPEED LOW DRAG

[steel umbra]

google.com##.hdzaWe

[left dove]

anyways thats enough of me for today time to go back to bed and rot

[steel umbra]

baye

[minor cove]

There are higher cat numbers but good chance people are just labeling as whatever too, typically are good with Cat6 or Cat5e for home stuff

[tulip sparrow]

Ok yeah CAT8 cables do indeed exist but are used for 25/40GB Base T networking

[steel umbra]

cat 6 is enough for most

10gbps

at certain distances

[tulip sparrow]

Cat6A would be needed if you are setting up a 2.5/5G netowrk

[steel umbra]

but yeah a lot of sketchy manufacturers do whatever they want anyways

some of cat 8 can’t do cat 8 speeds

[frail delta]

Which (essentially) doesn't exist

[tulip sparrow]

depending on the runs you may need 6a over 6

[hidden hill]

this is what i get on the speed test, steam downloads dont feel especially fast though

compared to a friend with a 10th the speed

[sinful cobalt]

high drag low speed

[steel umbra]

drag low speed high

[swift slate]

I bought these two things

Sabrent USB 3.2 Type-C Tool-Free Enclosure
WD_BLACK 1TB SN7100 NVMe Internal Gaming SSD

What software do I need to use to get a working bootable installation of Windows 10 or 11 onto this SSD?

[clear canyon]

Google it

[swift slate]

Time for me to ... Google it

[clear canyon]

"Ultra super chip", who ever made that name needs to be fired lmao, that sucks ass

[tulip sparrow]

WintoUSB basically https://www.easyuefi.com/wintousb/

[frail delta]

Windows To Go is dead, no?

[tulip sparrow]

Works fine with W11

[frail delta]

Must not be Windows To Go then

[frosty oriole]

Nvidia makes cool technology, but they're a POS of a company.

[tulip sparrow]

https://www.easyuefi.com/wintousb/faq/en-US/What-is-Windows-To-Go.html

[stray cairn]

CAN IT RUN CRYSIS?

[frail delta]

Sweet, so you’re violating the EULA

[steel umbra]

ooo maa gaad

[steel umbra]

give me price

[stray cairn]

You’re not the intended customer.

[steel umbra]

that is 0% argument i want to know the price

[tulip sparrow]

Yeah thinking several 10s of 1000s if not more

[stray cairn]

Assuming work HGX costs around 350k

Probably 450-600 grand

[steel umbra]

exact pricin or nuke

[formal prism]

I want that DGX station

[tulip sparrow]

or more it is lol

[stray cairn]

Good. Would work for them.

[tulip sparrow]

That is where Nvidia is focusing their allocation and budget these days instead of making good gpus for gamers

[stray cairn]

Because lets be honest

[steel umbra]

whatever is more profitablee hahahh

[stray cairn]

Nvidia doesn’t make money from gamers.

[steel umbra]

0% truth, 100% truth, 50% lie

[tulip sparrow]

Basically skirts around the requirement of using a certain usb stick for it

[frail delta]

Yeah

[tulip sparrow]

aka non certified drives

meaning any drive

[frosty oriole]

Then why are they trying to hard to lie to them?

[stray cairn]

Idk. None of my concerns tho

(He’s talking about stuff I care about)

[steel umbra]

green paper with printed numbers on

[frosty oriole]

But it doesn't even affect sales.

[steel umbra]

but maybe their shareholderos

hype from clueless gamers

and bigger number better

[frosty oriole]

But again, this:

[steel umbra]

they do make money

it’s just not their majority of income

[fringe prairie]

yes ^

[steel umbra]

no i lied hahahha

[tulip sparrow]

AI is their biggest sector by far

[frosty oriole]

I know, but again, why are they trying so hard to dig themselves into a hole that doesn't matter when it doesn't make them any more money?

[stray cairn]

The company I worked for is in here

[frosty oriole]

All it does is screw consumers over. They're not going to sell any more or less cards with it.

[fringe prairie]

people will still buy geforce cards and nvidia knows that lmao

[stray cairn]

Because the money is there.

[steel umbra]

shareholders atleast

[tulip sparrow]

I have a 3070 Ti and if I could move over to AMD i certainly would

[tulip sparrow]

The money is there because of the AI BOOM that is happening

[stray cairn]

No need to say something that I am versed with

[frosty oriole]

I don't know where my message went, but I had already said that, ye.
It just seems like they're just screwing people over for the fun of it.

[tulip sparrow]

Once that bubble pops then what?

[hidden hill]

Gotta wait 4 long days for my pc to get here, gonna be awful

[tulip sparrow]

and pop it certainly will

[sinful cobalt]

they love screwing themselves

[frosty oriole]

It doesn't even feel like that. Why would a shareholder care if part of a part of a part of a low-profit section of a company is honest or not?

[tulip sparrow]

@hidden hill been there and my laptop was a day late getting to me as it sat over the weekend and didn't move

[hidden hill]

Was gonna work to get my pc sold early but I can’t go without any pc

Just have to pray fed ex doesn’t pull some bs

[sinful cobalt]

the amt of money nvidia makes from gaming is in single digits anyway lmao

[terse sigil]

Hey guys I made a post in #1027757333117415424 , my intel heat sink won’t come off my mobo, if anyone can help Id greatly appreciate it ❤️

[tulip sparrow]

twist it

[hidden hill]

Where do you guys sell pre owned pcs

[tulip sparrow]

paste likely dried up so twist to break the bond

facebook market place is a good option

@terse sigil

[hidden hill]

Was thinking that, would hope people know the value of what they’re looking at though

[steel umbra]

even the “low” profit part of nvidia is high in comparison to other companies

[hidden hill]

People on marketplace can be really dumb and make insultingly low offers lol

[steel umbra]

if the low profit part makes 10-15% of their revenue and… they’re a trillion dollar company with a atleast average total revenue that’s a lot of money.

[cerulean summit]

Please anyone I’m desperate, how do I fix my pc only booting to the black screen before the login image shows up?

[frosty oriole]

Sure, but again, it's a small subsection of that. And it's oftentimes not even things within the company.

[sinful cobalt]

strangle the aibs, strangle the distributors, strangle the retailers, stranger the customer, strangle the consumers with driver updates managing to fk over previous gens

[tulip sparrow]

@cerulean summit multiple screens plugged in?

[cerulean summit]

3

[tulip sparrow]

yeah bios/uefi is likely outputting to one of your others instead of the primary

[steel umbra]

let’s ignore that and focus on the great things ai can do!

[steel umbra]

isn’t that gamer’s nexus audience

[sinful cobalt]

yes

[cerulean summit]

Bios uefi isn’t the problem, it’s the actual log in screen. I can see the motherboard logo and can boot to bios no problem

[tulip sparrow]

@cerulean summit boot into windows safe mode?

[cerulean summit]

How do I do that?

[tulip sparrow]

It use to be mash F8 during boot no idea these days honestly

[steel umbra]

i’ll just go ahead and…
nukes you 3000 times for no reason

[steel umbra]

that’s a cart

[tulip sparrow]

@cerulean summit Do you have a 4000 series nvidia gpu and are you on a 570+ driver?

newer nvidia drivers are known to black screen and the fix is to downgrade them
