does google just now work for some people

[pale flint]

i think they want you to play re

[pale flint]

i have that stuff

[azure topaz]

what laptop is it

[tidal geyser]

fyi DO NOT use this even semi long term

[azure topaz]

inb4 chromebook or sumn idk

[pale flint]

i tried booting

[rigid fjord]

eh, it can be passively adapted tbh, just a pain to do it board side

[gloomy sleet]

i think it wants you to play phasmophobia

[pale flint]

from bootmenu

but it booted into my laptop's windows

[pale flint]

hp

[azure topaz]

thanks man

[pale flint]

i am trying to boot into an ssd from dell laptop which i had issues with

[abstract wigeon]

i never really got into phas tbh, got like 10 hours on it but just never found it fun/scary 🤷

[pale flint]

hp 255 or sum

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/sanjamieishot-cats-cat-gang-cat-tongue-gif-5723883064404933966

[pale flint]

idk exact model

[azure topaz]

dude

[pale flint]

what

[azure topaz]

this matters you cant just tell me or sumn

[tidal geyser]

look under it you dopper

[rigid fjord]

what flux and what solder you using dude?

[pale flint]

there is nothing sir

[tidal geyser]

pic

[azure topaz]

flux idr but i know its decent in my exp and i use generic 66% lead

[pale flint]

i would have told you if i could

[tidal geyser]

can you boot into the laptop

[tidal geyser]

wait do i not know you

[pale flint]

there are many laptops in this cata but this one has 2 core amd

[tidal geyser]

is this the laptop you opened and broke permanently and did not manage to fix

[pale flint]

you do, i had issues with dell laptop's bios

[rigid fjord]

ah, weller has a lower lead content one that works really well if you ever want to try a different one

[pale flint]

i didnt broke it cuz i opened it

[tidal geyser]

is it working now

[pale flint]

i changed its bios to uefi and bios got corrupt

[pale flint]

nope sir, no way of flashing bios

[azure topaz]

eh i should be good with this stuff, ibought like 10 or 15 rolls of it

[tidal geyser]

no

not possible

[pale flint]

well

it did

[tidal geyser]

is this the same laptop you have issues with now

[pale flint]

no?

[tidal geyser]

what issue is this one having then

[pale flint]

i am booting into its ssd using my own old laptop

[tidal geyser]

why

[pale flint]

the guy has some important stuff

[tidal geyser]

AND ITS NOT BACKED UP

[pale flint]

nope sir

he never did

[rigid fjord]

ah, sweet, but if you or anyone else wanted to try it https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09LDHLM1F/

[tidal geyser]

well boot into it and log in then transfer it to a usb drive

[azure topaz]

noted ill save it or whatevea

[pale flint]

i am thinking of something else

[tidal geyser]

i really hope you are not some tech shop

[pale flint]

what if i put the same ssd in new laptop?

[pale flint]

i am not but i am learning

[tidal geyser]

rule nr.1 always backup computers that are not yours before you do jack shit

[pale flint]

thanks for telling but no one backsup every customers drive

trust me

[azure topaz]

they are if they fuck with it 😭

you would be a stupid man to fuck with a customers data without telling them or without backing it up 😭

[pale flint]

yeah you could if the ssd is in bad condition

[azure topaz]

thats when you tell the customer and dont move any further

[tidal geyser]

one thing windows loves doing is dying

[azure topaz]

😭

[pale flint]

yeah

makes sense doesnt it

[azure topaz]

yes

[pale flint]

should i back it up before booting into it?

[tidal geyser]

well too late now

[pale flint]

why

[tidal geyser]

it will boot or it will not

[elder quarry]

what is he doing

[rigid fjord]

i need to find myself some better tips for the soldering iron i have, especially some brass ones for use with the sweat in those little brass stand offs

[azure topaz]

what iron?

[torpid olive]

Can you tell me what was the problem in my case

[pale flint]

it has all the data tho

[tidal geyser]

i should get some more tips for my pinecil

[azure topaz]

ive got a ts101 for my current rn so tips are mad easy to come across

[tidal geyser]

shitty unusable nvidia drivers

[azure topaz]

and i alr have most tips id need

[torpid olive]

Ohh I see

[rigid fjord]

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B077GB7CSZ the one i have

[pale flint]

should i

check ssd's health

[jovial swan]

Anyone here got experiences with the phonebrand realme?, they just released a new phone and i am kinda eyeing it (7000 mAh and stuff) but Ive heard mixed things about realme

[pale flint]

its some intenso ssd

[azure topaz]

ah

on da ts101, the tips are the heating element

[distant frigate]

More 1,000+ Mbps speeds walking down this road

Kinda wild how widespread it can get

[pale flint]

guys

[tidal geyser]

no

[pale flint]

girls

is that ok?

[tidal geyser]

yes

[pale flint]

so girls

the ssd has all the data

may i back it up

[gleaming rose]

like all the data? like all the data ever recorded?

[pale flint]

i got another ssd and a dock

[azure topaz]

imo explode the ssd

[hexed tapir]

It's nerds

[pale flint]

no

[pale flint]

what

[tidal geyser]

ÿes for over 10 years

[azure topaz]

looks fine

[distant frigate]

I think I know where the hospital is. That has the 5G panels on it

[azure topaz]

just push it in there tab aligned with tabh

[rigid fjord]

yeah, with mine, the tips, are removable from the heating element

[tidal geyser]

o wait thought you were going to say something about the missing pin

zero issues there

[random gyro]

i tried and made sure its aligned. it doesnt go in.

[tidal geyser]

it does

[random gyro]

im scared to put too much force in cuz others went in more smoothly

[pale flint]

some things need more force than they seem to require

[tidal geyser]

wa?

[azure topaz]

show us the mobo connector

[tidal geyser]

that is like the one thing you almost cant break

[pale flint]

alr

[rigid fjord]

the 24 pin usually needs a little more force

[pale flint]

ssd is fine, infact my own ssd is at 87% health

i dont think thats fine

but anyways

[azure topaz]

yeah looks fine

[pale flint]

just shove it in

[azure topaz]

have we lost the plot of what percents mean

[random gyro]

so do i just push it in really firmly?

[tidal geyser]

sanity check, you are doing the right side

[azure topaz]

your ssd is infact fine because its 87% health 💀 😭

[pale flint]

it might require some force but not too much

[tidal geyser]

as hard as you can until it goes trough the board

[azure topaz]

click noise

[random gyro]

alright

[pale flint]

uh not my ssd

the other ssd is 100%

idc about mine

[azure topaz]

okay but 87% is still chillin just sayin 😭

[elder quarry]

NO THE BUNY

[pale flint]

alright

thanks

i have shoved in many of these in customers's pcs

[random gyro]

alright it went in. thanks for the clearance

[pale flint]

when i worked for a company

[tidal geyser]

O DEAR LORD

[pale flint]

thanks

[tidal geyser]

any of the computers work after

[rigid fjord]

they make good pies and curries

[random gyro]

does the PCle cable from the PSU go into the GPU?

[azure topaz]

uhuh

[tidal geyser]

yes

[tidal geyser]

yes the pcie gpu cable goes into the gpu

[pale flint]

bios all good?

dont ask me why i have the secure boot disabled

[rigid fjord]

yes

[pale flint]

idk either

[toxic crest]

lol
finally 9070xt is on sale
for 705 euro

[pale flint]

does secure boot matter for usb boot

girls

[azure topaz]

does the os youre installing require secure boot?

[tidal geyser]

https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=does+secure+boot+matter+for+usb+boot+

[pale flint]

OH SHIT

[rigid fjord]

needs to be set as first priority if you want to run the drive via usb

[pale flint]

THE OLD LAPTOP

[pale flint]

booted using legacy

yeah how could i forget that

yeah guys but old laptop used legacy

girls*

[toxic crest]

i remember buying 5700xt for like half the price of 9070xt
💀

[valid fiber]

mmh a used rtx 3090 has 24Gb vram and costs about the same

[pale flint]

so... do i switch to legacy to boot into that drive?

[tidal geyser]

but way worse performance in everything

[torpid olive]

@tidal geyser Thanks for the support it seems to have no problem now

[azure topaz]

and is...slower..

[torpid olive]

😄

[toxic crest]

here, you could get used 4080 super for that just before they released 5080
after that used market prices went up

[pale flint]

@tidal geyser should i clone the ssd or just back it up

[tidal geyser]

just get the data off it

[pale flint]

cuz he has important passwords and stuff

[tidal geyser]

you back it up before you do something that can brick the pc

[pale flint]

alright

[tidal geyser]

that you keep in your head or a password manager

[pale flint]

well he didnt

[elder quarry]

o:

[pale flint]

will cloning work?

[elder quarry]

e

[pale flint]

e

[tidal geyser]

copy over the important data

[pale flint]

alright

which software should i use for that?

[tidal geyser]

i dono file explorer

[pale flint]

aomei

[tidal geyser]

you just transfer the passwords since you are already able to boot into it

[pale flint]

aomei can also backup windows image and stuff

[rigid fjord]

you get them a book with this on

[pale flint]

thanks

i dont need that i do that

but many careless people dont

[tidal geyser]

you only need to transfer his passwords

[pale flint]

yeah mostly

he has stuff related to dairy farm and stuff

just copy it all and drag drop it into my ssd?

or maybe just into my new unused ssd

which i bought for backups and stuff

might makes more sense

[elder quarry]

diary farm

[pale flint]

diary farm

yes, thanks for the correction sir

[elder quarry]

no I wondered what that was xD

I have no idea

[pale flint]

a place when milk is milked out of cows

[elder quarry]

not meant as a correction

[tidal geyser]

why transfer everything, you just need his passwords and the other stuff

[pale flint]

yeah idk where they are

[tidal geyser]

so ask him

[pale flint]

he probably is logged into places

he doesnt have them noted

[elder quarry]

https://tenor.com/view/sealyx-naked-gun-the-naked-gun-facepalm-facepalm-meme-gif-11743768702765397589

[tidal geyser]

so ask him

[pale flint]

pretty sure

alright

i will ask him tomorrow

but for now

sorry to bother

amma just back everything up

[empty quartz]

[tidal geyser]

gonna try out tf2 on a 8500 igpu

[azure topaz]

should kinda work

[torpid olive]

@tidal geyser it's seems that the problem is not solved and there is no thermal throttling or anything it just shuts down the display and shows no signal and need to hard restart the computer

[azure topaz]

i think my 7700k igpu did far cry 3

[tidal geyser]

45 fps on high

[tidal geyser]

what psu

[dawn tundra]

why did they have to make installing nuitka so difficult (mostly bc I'm stupid)

[torpid olive]

its a 500w antesport that made in IND

[tidal geyser]

yeah found the issue

[tidal geyser]

on low i get a pretty nice 100+

[empty quartz]

Imagine not having a 500gb drink coaster

[torpid olive]

why is psu a issue

[empty quartz]

E-waste psu

[torpid olive]

and when i looked at youtube in a video its show some tdr response that can cause this

[tidal geyser]

why do you think

[tidal geyser]

that is gpu

tdr is gpu issue

so either your gtx 1630 is killing itself or the psu is just shit or both

[torpid olive]

F**k

iam in a middle of a economic crisis

[tidal geyser]

yewa

[torpid olive]

https://tenor.com/view/funny-jokes-laugh-very-funny-jokes-gif-7941605763991624665

[hidden hill]

Does fast boot normally cause problems? My pc posts and boots fine now after disabling it

Was on by default, so dumb that this was the main issue I was having

[tidal geyser]

can do so yea

[hidden hill]

Wish one of you guys mentioned it this week

But yeah I still think it might be a good idea to get the pc replaced. Rgb control is still messed up with the pc anyway

No lights to top fans and thermaltake software can’t detect a controller

[solemn crystal]

guys i suspect my ram is failing i have 2x8 "Mancer" ram sticks and this is the usage while running roblox, discord, and opera gx

when i boot up any game it dun freezes for the first 5 mins before becoming stable

wht do yall think

[tidal geyser]

get windows 11

[latent tundra]

how much these cards should've costs in Germany?
4060Ti 16GB, 4070 Super, 7700XT, 7800XT, 7900GRE
I just need the baseline MSRP on that region

[solemn crystal]

is that actually the problem

[inner sinew]

Guys why does my discord bug in a way where sometimes when im scrolling nothing loads and then I have to move my mouse over the screen to uncover pixels

[tidal geyser]

and stop using medal or any other clipping software

[inner sinew]

Why

[inner sinew]

What does this graph mean

[tidal geyser]

get another ram stick

[inner sinew]

ok

[ancient lion]

Okay I have a question

MSI Decided it's funny to do this. Can I fill the rest with a tiny bit of thermal paste until i get replacement pads?

[azure topaz]

no reason to but yes

like as in don’t

you can do so but why would you do that to the poor card

[ancient lion]

Because the Memory is a living Lava fountain

Im gonna clean it either way once the pads arrive

But i don't think the card likes half assed Thermal Pads when being Flashed to a XT Bios

[azure topaz]

that will not help

[azure topaz]

there is hardly a difference for the memory

[inner sinew]

im still having the bug

[ancient lion]

does the 5700XT not have tighter memory timings? Atleast I was of that assumption

[azure topaz]

probably not, also, all 5000 series amd had terrible vram temps

you need a repad and even then don’t expect good temperatures

[ancient lion]

Ah well, then ig it's best to leave it as is and repad, once the pads are there

[azure topaz]

yep

best pads you can then leave it atp not worth trying to go further to cool vram

[ancient lion]

Yup, gonna do that then. Thanks for the help :D

[azure topaz]

ofc 🫡

[elder quarry]

Get Linux

[hidden hill]

Anyone want to help me fix the top fan rgb issue? Does the connection between these 2 fans look fine? If so then it’s an issue with where the cord is leading to

[azure topaz]

the thermal paste trick you were talking about is used but yeah i don’t reccomend it. clean up is terrible and really isn’t great for performance unless the distance between the heatsink is like sub 1mm

[tidal geyser]

how

its not possible

[hidden hill]

Wdym

[azure topaz]

are these fans rgb? it doesn’t. look like it

[tidal geyser]

there is no rgb cables there my man

[hidden hill]

They are

[tidal geyser]

floppy you too zer is nau rgb cables

[azure topaz]

it doesn’t seem like there’s rgb cables yeah

the ones pictured are for the fan motor

not for any leds

[tidal geyser]

also solid white fans

[azure topaz]

yeah

[hidden hill]

This is all that’s going through the other fans

[azure topaz]

i feel like those aren’t rgb fans 😭

[hidden hill]

And the prebuilt shows lighting on the top fans

[wet scroll]

Is pny 4070 dual any good?

[azure topaz]

those are rgb for sure

the other two are not

[azure topaz]

so? they change the components out all the time

[hidden hill]

Well that’s a manufacturing error… great

[azure topaz]

not an errror. they did it on purpose lol

[hidden hill]

Did they just say “oh well” and put the wrong fans in?

[azure topaz]

probably for cost or whatever

[wet scroll]

Def not they pull this bs all the time

[tidal geyser]

what??????

[azure topaz]

there’s a very low chance that what you buy is the same as on the picture, prebuilts wise

[wet scroll]

Hi sim

[hidden hill]

Thermaltake showed rgb fans on top as well as everywhere else

[azure topaz]

you’ll commonly have different boards, gpu brands, psus, diff coolers

[azure topaz]

the only stuff that’s guaranteed is the stuff written

[hidden hill]

That’s actually really annoying, the difference in boards makes sense due to supply, these are their own fans though lmao

[wet scroll]

Is pny 4070 dual any good😭 its the cheapest 4070 i can find brand new

[azure topaz]

if it doesn’t say “include 7 rgb fans” or whatever it doesn’t

[hidden hill]

So if I went to Best Buy they wouldn’t get me rgb fans?

[azure topaz]

just cause it’s their own fans doesn’t mean they don’t think about the opportunity cost

[tidal geyser]

yea

[azure topaz]

there’s a chance they would just cause it’s “not as described” but it could go both ways

[wet scroll]

No y9u can buy them seperately

[hidden hill]

What about the aio? Why can’t I change the screen

[azure topaz]

aio screen is prolly cause it’s missing a plug somewhere

does it have a USB connection?

[wet scroll]

I found one for 520 while pther 4070s i find are 800

[hidden hill]

Missing completely or not plugged in?

[tidal geyser]

what about rx 7800 xt

[azure topaz]

could be both

[wet scroll]

That ones 800 too

[tidal geyser]

where did they show the top ones had argb

[azure topaz]

my aio has a lil usb port on it and included is a usb to usv header

[hidden hill]

Every picture

[wet scroll]

@tidal geyser i did find a really good price for a 6750 tho

[tidal geyser]

here

[azure topaz]

did they show it having a screen?

[tidal geyser]

not sure here

[azure topaz]

lowkey just looks like an aio

[hidden hill]

https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/4fcd184f-3fca-4a42-84c2-1f7890603073.png;maxHeight=828;maxWidth=400?format=webp

[azure topaz]

it looks like it’s mimicking the screen ones

[tidal geyser]

yeah i know already sent it

[hidden hill]

Can be programmed to have animations

[azure topaz]

could mean anything tho

animations are moving lights legally lol

prebuilt wording is scammy bruh

[wet scroll]

My man got ripped off 💔

[hidden hill]

I mean it’s a good that there isn’t a need to get a replacement, but kinda lame that I didn’t get what I thought I was getting

[upper hazel]

how do i cable this case? (for fan)
right now im using cpu_opt and cpu_Fan for CPU Cooler. (Can use 1 slot for both but rn i dont use alot of fans)
i want to add ~5 more case fan
3 on right (front)
2 above (top)
1 left (behind)

[sturdy stirrup]

Best rack mount case that will fix NZXT Kraken X63 280mm AIO CPU Liquid Cooler With RGB Whater Cooler

[hidden hill]

3300$ btw..

[tidal geyser]

yes

[tidal geyser]

no

[wet scroll]

Did your case fans come with a fan hub

[upper hazel]

yes???

[tidal geyser]

same performance as a like 2500 or less pc

[upper hazel]

4000D aIrflow

[sturdy stirrup]

what? if you wasn't going to give a answer or suggestion why did you reply 🤣

[wet scroll]

Is that a yes or no

[upper hazel]

i dunno im new

it should be possible

[wet scroll]

Its a little rectangle with sockets on it

It usually comes with fan kits

[tidal geyser]

https://www.google.com/search?q=fan+hub&

[upper hazel]

ye im not home rn to check let me see

[upper hazel]

i didnt even buy fans kit yet

[wet scroll]

?

[upper hazel]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1028314039933206528.webp?size=48&name=ramosHeavyBreathing

[wet scroll]

Buy fan kit then worry abt xonnecting it

Smh

[gentle kestrel]

just get a fan hub with the fans

instead of worrying about having enough mobo headers

[wet scroll]

Isnt that called a fan kit

Or bundle or whatever

[gentle kestrel]

idk i got mine standalone

[gentle kestrel]

i use that artic one in my sisters pc

[wet scroll]

My fans came w one

[gentle kestrel]

works great

[hidden hill]

2500? If tariffs and price hikes weren’t a thing yeah

[tidal geyser]

ze

[hidden hill]

I like the pc, just kinda bummed about the cheep outs they did, might ask for fan replacements

[random gyro]

ok what do i do if the 24 pin PSU cable wont come out of the socket 😭

[tidal geyser]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2qgGDj

[tidal geyser]

it will

[random gyro]

im pulling so hard and it isnt coming out

[tidal geyser]

you are holding down the latch

[random gyro]

yes

[hidden hill]

wtf, is this actually good? Any sacrifices besides visuals?

[tidal geyser]

no?

[hidden hill]

How did you get all the other parts so cheap?

Just good budget options? Just wondering if there’s something performance wise it’s losing

[tidal geyser]

no i just did not go for overpriced parts

[hidden hill]

Damn, if I was comfortable building mine own I could have gotten a 5090 possibly

[gleaming rose]

holy shit you're still here?

[hidden hill]

Think I could build a pc with a 5090 for 3500? lol

[hidden hill]

lol wdym

[gleaming rose]

the 5090 costs 33-3500

[gleaming rose]

you were already helped and given a near identical list to what sim just gave you

[hidden hill]

Welp nvm, love the pricing recently!!

[tidal geyser]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kfQ6FZ

200$ cheaper no performance loss and all features, only thing that is a downside is that it looks kinda dumb due to m-atx board in atx case

[hidden hill]

Conversation kind of went this direction, was talking about rgb missing in my prebuilt

[hidden hill]

That’s crazy…

Don’t tempt me to refund after I just fixed the pc

[azure topaz]

cringe…. pay 40$ for the better board

[hallow jasper]

[hidden hill]

So could I in theory, order all the parts, then. Have microcenter or some local place put it together for me?

[azure topaz]

for money

[hidden hill]

Well ofc

[azure topaz]

idk how much mc charges but it’d probably not going to end up different price wise

if you’re gonna do that route make sure you’re ending up with a xomputer you like more

[tidal geyser]

4nvme slot motherboard https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XKv3kf

[azure topaz]

better yay

no DLSS tho

[balmy tapir]

typically would cost $100-200 depending on the place

[azure topaz]

yeah

[tidal geyser]

also no major driver issues

[azure topaz]

i think mcs is actually super overpriced

[balmy tapir]

i've seen some people in facebook charge $25 to build a pc tho

[lost lance]

yo floppa do you rember that laptop from earlier that had the weird lines and shit that would flicker then like 3 minutes later go to normal

[azure topaz]

yes

[lost lance]

would overheating cause the gpu to freak the fuck out like that?

[azure topaz]

bro

we already said what’s wrong

[steel umbra]

nice cooler

[tidal geyser]

i am 100% going to charge like 100$ for it

[lost lance]

it just thermal shutdown and the fan sounds like its a ps4 on life support

[azure topaz]

twice. from two different people you got the exact same answer

[lost lance]

im wondering if the overheating had something to do with it too

like if it could have killed it

[azure topaz]

its dead bro

[steel umbra]

that's okay

you mean in person

[azure topaz]

sure yeah the ram could’ve over heated for 10 years and died but it doesn’t change that the ram is dead

[steel umbra]

or make a list?

[balmy tapir]

i've seen some people at my uni who just wanna build computers so will do it for cheap or free lol

[hidden hill]

Would total to like 26-7 hundred most likely, wonder what kind of time it would take for those parts to all arrive though

[azure topaz]

change the ram out. ddr3 is cheap as SHIT in laptop

[tidal geyser]

Maybe

[lost lance]

its a i3-2320m or somethign it is not worth putting that money into

[balmy tapir]

what does 26-7 mean 😭😭

[azure topaz]

2600-2700

[hidden hill]

This is all hypothetical, the notion of redoing everything and getting a new pc sounds… not great to me

[azure topaz]

26 or 27 hundred

[balmy tapir]

ah

i mean if current pc works just keep using it

[azure topaz]

ddr3 is about 5$

[hidden hill]

Wasn’t booting or posting, fixed it through turning off fast boot, did like 27 unsafe shut downs it said in the motherboard software

[hidden hill]

I’m just unsure if I did damage while trying to fix it lol

[azure topaz]

no way there’s still fast boot issues on am5…

[balmy tapir]

well if it works now then you're good

[azure topaz]

update your bios

[hidden hill]

Shouldn’t have been enabled by default, no idea why thermaltake did that

[balmy tapir]

unlikely an unsafe shutdown will cause damage unless activity writing to a disc

[azure topaz]

it should be enabled by default

[hidden hill]

Shorted the 2 pins to cause a reset in the motherboard, not sure if that’s okay or not

[azure topaz]

yes it is that’s why they’re there

[hidden hill]

I mean to cause this big of an issue is annoying af though, what’s the benefit

[azure topaz]

booting faster lol

[balmy tapir]

that's what a reset button would do anyways, something's are made to be shorted pretty much

[azure topaz]

it shouldn’t cause an issue which makes me think you’re on an old bios

which is why i say again, update your bios

[hidden hill]

What it’s doing is most likely disabling some hardware vital to the boot, keyboard along with it which made me unable to boot to bios, the posting issue I have no idea though

am5 did have issues with fast boot on in the past

[reef osprey]

guys, please, I'm having a hard time with my NZXT h510... With my case closed, my gpu is getting as high as 95ºc... I got like $150 to buy a new case, but I dunno what to get... (I found the montech king 95 pro very tempting, cuz it's a pretty case, but is it good? Or should I move to something more useful instead? in terms of temperature...

[hidden hill]

Yeah gonna do that, thanks for reminding me

External ssd should work for it

[azure topaz]

causing exactly this issue…

[tidal geyser]

we know that case is a hot box

[azure topaz]

you should just be able to download it in windows then navigate there in your bios

[hidden hill]

Not booting, posting issues too?

[azure topaz]

yes

[tidal geyser]

you can go for that case or just i dono phanteks xt pro ultra for a great case for a great price

[hidden hill]

Called flash disk or something in the bios right?

[reef osprey]

I could bake something inside of it haha)

[azure topaz]

qflash+ or whatever

something with flash or good in it

[hidden hill]

Ty for the help btw!

[azure topaz]

*bios in it

[hidden hill]

Feeling a lot better about the whole ordeal now, was stressful when I didn’t know the cause of all the issues

[reef osprey]

it looks like a good case

[hidden hill]

Rgb fans not working cause there ain’t no rgb in it

[azure topaz]

lol

i wasn’t sure they were no rgb fans it just really looked like it

[hidden hill]

Slightly translucent material on the other blades

[azure topaz]

yeah

[hidden hill]

Was solid on the top ones

Not super noticeable but its obvious after I looked closer

But yeah I might contact Best Buy about the fans to see if they would replace them with what was advertised

you can find r1280s for around that price

[sinful robin]

nvm found it mb

[balmy tapir]

they're pretty solid

Hey, does anyone know how to safely convert a PDF to html? i have been researching online and they're all scams or paid services, which I can't do rn

[hidden hill]

WiFi antennae are usually housing the Bluetooth connection too right?

[steel umbra]

https://youtu.be/u1I9ITfzqFs? wrong ping srry, how do y'all rate this 0-10?

[sinful robin]

pinged u in #audio-tech, could u check 🙂

[azure topaz]

yes

[azure topaz]

yes

same antenna/it gets a dedicated antenna but still on the wifi card

[true stirrup]

https://cloudconvert.com/pdf-to-html

[azure topaz]

usually* you don’t need bluetooth to habe a wifi card

just most cards are both

[hidden hill]

Yeah have this asus one I forgot to connect, should let me Xbox controller work now

[rose tartan]

it's what it gave me

[tidal geyser]

hello Analiese Melendez

[rose tartan]

hello

[tidal geyser]

wanna share that much info?

also fyi no that could not work as its uhm ur name as the file path

[rose tartan]

idc, it's on my linkdin and everything else atp

ok slay, just trying to figure out best way to do this. I am applying for visual design based jobs and they want my portfolio as a link and im having a hard time with that

[crimson estuary]

How hard would it be to add Bluetooth and WiFi to a computer without it

[azure topaz]

not hard

[crimson estuary]

How much would it cost?

Under 100$?

[tidal geyser]

without what

you have a pcie slot so you can just buy a 50$ card

[azure topaz]

like a 25$ card

something with an ax210 or ax211

[steel umbra]

respon to me or die!!!

[wet scroll]

is ryzen 7 5700x a big upgrade from i5 9400?

[steel umbra]

do you already have am4 mb

i would buy a 7400f/7500f instead

[wet scroll]

i already plan to get a new motherboard bcs i dont have m.2 slots

and will get a new cpu while im at it

[steel umbra]

how's 7400f/7500f + b650m

[tidal geyser]

Sata

[wet scroll]

7500f alone costs as much as an r7 5700x with its motherboard

[steel umbra]

where are you looking

[tidal geyser]

a 7500f is also on par with a 5700X3D

also 5700X and board for 120 is insane

[wet scroll]

no theyre both 200

[steel umbra]

meh

[wet scroll]

7500f is overprices here for some reason

[steel umbra]

can you buy from le china

[wet scroll]

import tax will fuck me over

[steel umbra]

aliexpress?

[wet scroll]

import tax and shipping will be around the same

[wet scroll]

import tax applies to that too 💔

[tidal geyser]

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006905015154.html?

[steel umbra]

not collected by aliexpress?

if it's collected by aliexpress it should just pass through

[wet scroll]

no idea but my gov will charge me

[wet scroll]

nuh uh

[tidal geyser]

what government

[wet scroll]

not here

egypt

[steel umbra]

rip

[wet scroll]

what abt r5 8500g

[tidal geyser]

no

[wet scroll]

oh i found

[steel umbra]

what about shipping agents @wet scroll

[wet scroll]

wait

[tidal geyser]

no adios

[steel umbra]

amigos

spanish or vanish

[wet scroll]

i found r5 7500f w a gigabyte a620m H and a lexar 16gb 5600mhz ddr5 w an a30 neo black for 300

[steel umbra]

what's a30 neo?

cooler?

[tidal geyser]

i would imagine so

[steel umbra]

2 heatpipes 💀

[wet scroll]

is that bad

[steel umbra]

is that a 92mm?

[steel umbra]

for a 7500f maybe not

but that's going to be worse than some amd stock coolers

definitely better than wraith stealth tho

[wet scroll]

the 16gb ram sstick is pretty good and i plan to get an aio in the future

[steel umbra]

16 gb ddr5? e

[wet scroll]

yes

5600mhz

[steel umbra]

2x16gb 6000mt/s cl30 ideal

[wet scroll]

i will be running one sstick for a while :3

i will prolly sell my old motherboard w itss ram if i get that deal

oh also

a 128gb ssd but thats too small..

[steel umbra]

also that motherboard is probably good at most ryzen 7 with those vrms

[wet scroll]

meaning?

[steel umbra]

and make sure the i/o is sufficient, expansions

[steel umbra]

they may get very hot with like 9900x

to apoint of throttling

[wet scroll]

i dont think id be getting thaat

hold on

whats a nice am5 motherboard then?

[steel umbra]

b650m hdv m.2, b650/m pg lightning, b650/m pro rs, b650 livemixer, b850m-x, b850m pro rs

[hidden hill]

anyone know where i can find the bios update for the asus prime x870-p?

[steel umbra]

b650m ds3h, gigabyte gaming/eagle b650 boards

[hidden hill]

the asus website wasnt showing it, maybe i typed the wrong name

[steel umbra]

asus

https://www.asus.com/supportonly/prime x870-p/helpdesk_bios/ make sure you don't have the wifi version

[hidden hill]

oh good point crap, i do have the wifi version because it has the antenna right?

or would i not even need one with the wifi version

[steel umbra]

https://www.asus.com/supportonly/prime x870-p wifi/helpdesk_bios/

you can google all of these yourself

[hidden hill]

oh im dumb, says wifi on the board in big font lmao

[wet scroll]

this one?

[hidden hill]

can a bios update like this improve performance? or is it mainly just stability improvements?

[steel umbra]

DS3H

[wet scroll]

huh?

[tidal geyser]

And then it become sorted

[steel umbra]

ds3h. not h

[boreal vine]

@rigid fjord

you around dude

LOQ 15 12450h + 4060, what's the max ram speed I can get away with it

[frigid topaz]

A buddy of mine if I decide to upgrade to a intel xeon cpu that uses ddr3 ram he will give me 128gb for free

Worth it?

I mean I still use ddr3 ram rn and it never seemed to have an issue

[pale flint]

@tidal geyser made a clone of it

and booted using legacy

just in case i might harm the original one

and yeah it booted

gg

[thorny saddle]

crappy board

[steel umbra]

what's wong about it

[hidden hill]

Bios version is 1028, that’s the most recent one on the website

Should I still update?

[steel umbra]

use latest stable

not betas

[thorny saddle]

its a lamer

[steel umbra]

why

it does mem oc actually fine

[hidden hill]

Is that not what that was?

[steel umbra]

man you can read hopefully...

1028 is not beta

it says

[thorny saddle]

ask @lethal bay about that lol

[hidden hill]

Okay, what I’m saying is my pc is currently on that version already, was recommended that I update so I was wondering if I still do that even though it’s the same version

[orchid garnet]

guys i need to make a choice can yall help?

wasn't that b550m ds3h

[lethal bay]

I’ve never owned a DS3H

[orchid garnet]

one of this three

[steel umbra]

do you need such expensive boi

[orchid garnet]

no

[thorny saddle]

was it michael

[orchid garnet]

but i dont know what else to pick thats good and white

[steel umbra]

i have poor experience with hdv and i still recommend it

[orchid garnet]

there arent many white mobo's in amazon italy

[thorny saddle]

thats terrible

[steel umbra]

well, it's not a "xoc" board

[hidden hill]

Should I have resize bar on or off for a 5080

[odd marsh]

On

[steel umbra]

overclocking memory needs tuning, atleast with my kits i own

it runs mem profiles as it should

[thorny saddle]

doesn't matter - the board has very mixed reviews

[steel umbra]

it's 120 buccos

or less

[thorny saddle]

$120 wasted

[rigid fjord]

5600 i believe for jedec, though i wouldn't touch a loq with an intel cpu inside

[steel umbra]

why

[hidden hill]

Ok ty

[thorny saddle]

many better options

[steel umbra]

like

[lethal bay]

My only real complaint with my HDV is my PBO is broken

[thorny saddle]

LOL

[lethal bay]

Everything else is fine

[hidden hill]

Hope the memory was tuned for the overclocking thermaltake did on my prebuilt, is 4800 to 6400 safe? That’s what it’s set to

[thorny saddle]

B650 aorus elite never look back

[steel umbra]

i've had no issues with pbo after removing le limits

[lethal bay]

If i enable it at all it locks my cpu to 400Mhz

[rigid fjord]

stop asking this repeatedly

[thorny saddle]

seems legit

[steel umbra]

okaa... i've never had such issue

☠️

[odd marsh]

Yes sounds like it’s just XMP or EXPO enabled which is fine

[odd marsh]

That’s plenty fast dude

[steel umbra]

x3d compensates with cache!

[lethal bay]

Neither has anyone else apparently. I've asked on HDV forums, here, and hwbot and nobody has had this problem. One dude said he heard about it on another board, but his fixes didnt work for me

[hidden hill]

Yep expo, just hope the ram keeps a good lifespan

[odd marsh]

Yeah it’s what your memory is rated to do

[steel umbra]

my biggest complaint is the motherboard is bit wonky with 2:1 mem ocs and certain micron kits

it's awe with 1:1

[lethal bay]

I have never subjected myself to touching a shitcron kit so

[hidden hill]

What’s the top end of ddr5 ram base speed? 4800 seems to be the norm

[thorny saddle]

how do we recommend a mobo with such fuckery?

[lethal bay]

And i just got done with some 2:1 tuning. Works fine. Just voltage sweet spots.

[steel umbra]

there is only worse at or below 120

[thorny saddle]

9200-9600

[thorny saddle]

thats not an answer

[lethal bay]

I would like a nicer board but meh

[hidden hill]

Jesus, wonder how much performance you gain from that speed

But that must be costly lol

[steel umbra]

yeah my first hdv apparently does not like 2:1

[odd marsh]

What you want is ARL

[thorny saddle]

it is

[hidden hill]

Is the performance gain noticeable?

[thorny saddle]

no lol

[lethal bay]

dude youtube music fucking sucks holy shit

[steel umbra]

i also tried what randomness suggested me

[thorny saddle]

8000 CL38 is where it's at

[hidden hill]

Let me look that up

[thorny saddle]

9000 CL40+ is just meme and burned cash

[bronze summit]

I made dumb financial mistakes

[steel umbra]

i run 6400 c30 daily

[thorny saddle]

I run 6000 CL26

[bronze summit]

Just invested 300$ into NVIDIA stocks we are so done

[thorny saddle]

and 9000 CL42

[lethal bay]

My ram kit was too swag so they discontinued it

[hidden hill]

https://www.amazon.com/TEAMGROUP-T-Force-8000MHz-PC5-64000-Desktop/dp/B0BWM1T88J/ref=asc_df_B0BWM1T88J?mcid=c141e49dfe313e278d7b3f0e42d375bb&hvocijid=7939217531549635513-B0BWM1T88J-&hvexpln=73&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=721245378154&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7939217531549635513&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9016181&hvtargid=pla-2281435177418&psc=1

[bronze summit]

I run 6000 CL32

[thorny saddle]

and my non-discontinued kit was so swag it runs less voltage than your discontinued kit 😐

[hidden hill]

So compared to my ram which is at 6400, what’s the difference

[steel umbra]

1:2 is not worth at or below 7400mt/s for most things

7600mt/s+

[lethal bay]

Does it?

[thorny saddle]

6000 CL26 1.38v

[thorny saddle]

depends on the CPU

[lethal bay]

I've verified mine at 1.37v lmao

[hidden hill]

Could I get a noticeable increase in 1% lows with upgrading to that fast of ram?

[steel umbra]

i think with 1:2 the mobo matters more

unless you rock like 8000++

[hidden hill]

Like increase of the fps of the 1% not an increase in it occurring lol

[robust trail]

Folks waiting to the last minute to send me to GTC Paris. Yep. That's a $17,000 trip that could have been 8

Yeah but next trip I'll try to use my miles to cover as much as I can. I feel bad.

Pc is currently dual channeled with 2 sticks of 16gb ram, could I add a separate stick from a different brand into slot 1 or 3?

[odd marsh]

It’s gonna smell

[odd marsh]

You can, but really shouldn’t

[hidden hill]

Not worth doing?

Or does it have a negative to doing it as well?

[steel umbra]

and norway, finlandia good air 🔥

[odd marsh]

Not worth doing as it generally has negative consequences

[hidden hill]

Oh dang nvm, not like I need 48 anyway

[steel umbra]

i want to steal air from finland

[odd marsh]

You can just get a 2x24GB kit and replace your current ram

[steel umbra]

watch out for micron 2x24 kits

[hidden hill]

But then I’d have to pay lol, already own the 16gb stick

[odd marsh]

🤷

[gray sierra]

hi

[odd marsh]

Got me some of that Hynix stuff

[steel umbra]

if you mix two sticks from different models it can be unstable

[odd marsh]

You’re quite far north Jorj

[hidden hill]

Yeah I’m just gonna not do it, would only do it if it was a clean upgrade

[steel umbra]

i had micron 2x24gb and actually i had just issues with those on the hdv

micron d

🚮 but for low cost micron ddr5 it ain't bad

but with hynix i couldn't do good 1:2 either

[thorny saddle]

hdv cannot do non-binary RAM its ass

Wait for steam summer sale it’ll be like $5

[true stirrup]

I have it in the shared library and friends keep telling me to play it

im looking at it rn

[tender folio]

hey yall

[gray sierra]

yhh

[tender folio]

Im gonna get this laptop for college and gaming what do we think

[tidal geyser]

na

[orchid garnet]

is cl in ram that important? like 6400 mhz cl38 or 6000 mhz cl30
i'm really confused does an higher frequence make up for the higher cl? think i found an answer

[hexed sage]

Is buying NZXT subscription bad idea (I already know it is I just want opinions)

[tender folio]

nah what?

[serene pumice]

north america

[limpid dune]

CL stands for the number of cycles it'll take for the RAM to respond to a request. So a 6400MT/s CL38 will respond slower than a 6000MT/s CL30, since 38/6400 is bigger than 30/6000 (I know, it's mathy, but it's true).

[orchid garnet]

thank you

[true stirrup]

1. It's important but not as much as frequency
2. It's even less important if you are using newer intel CPUs
3. Yes higher frequency usually requires higher latencies

[orchid garnet]

thanks

[limpid dune]

if you're using a ryzen 7000 or 9000, there are some funkier aspects to consider

eg. most ryzens won't be able to hit 6400 unless you carefully tweak things

mine can, but it requires bumping up the VSOC

[true stirrup]

They will hit it but will use gear 2 which is significantly worse than gear 1

[limpid dune]

if you use gear 2 at a frequency below 7000, Lisa Su will personally airstrike your house. that is a crime

[dawn tundra]

Would it be possible to ever use a USB 2.0 as a display option

[limpid dune]

I'd suggest getting the 6000 and overclocking it to 6200 CL30 or something

[limpid dune]

not much bandwidth + no real video output feed, unlike USB-C

[dawn tundra]

I mean it does have one

[limpid dune]

remember that video outputs are INSANE bandwidth, HDMI is like 80Gb/s

streaming uncompressed video is hard

[dawn tundra]

Yeah 2.1

[dawn tundra]

I just need a temporary solution

Got a Dell optiplex for free w/o a gpu

[odd marsh]

No

[limpid dune]

unless it's a weird Xeon or an F variant, it probably has an iGPU...?

(even Xeons sometimes have iGPUs, depending on the socket)

i don't think i can get one in australia

what

ive never seen that before

[tidal geyser]

i can make my own XMP profiles

[plush wren]

False

[odd marsh]

Set everything to 999

[dawn tundra]

The HDD is a spare blank one I have

[night urchin]

whats better paired with the rx 7800 xt the ** ryzen 7 9700x** or the ryzen 7 7700x

[random gyro]

are idle cpu temps of 55c normal ? 9950x3d Corsair Titan 340mm RX

[night urchin]

1440p btw

[fierce raven]

what temp under load?

[odd marsh]

Idle temps don’t really matter

[odd marsh]

Technically the 9700X

[tidal geyser]

stop it

[random gyro]

minecraft high shaders 70 , PoE2 65-75

[tidal geyser]

no shit will the newer and more expensive one be better

[night urchin]

but it has less preformance core clock

[odd marsh]

What

[random gyro]

my noctua nh 15 g2 cools a lot better than my girlfriends AIO which is nuts to me

same cpu, i got under load 10c less

[night urchin]

???

[fierce raven]

you know core speed is not everything

newer stuff will always be better then the old

[night urchin]

ig

[odd marsh]

Tbf it is pretty the crème de La crème of air coolers

[random gyro]

yeah, didnt expect to beat an aio haha

but true

[odd marsh]

What aio

[random gyro]

corsair RX titan 360mm

[dawn tundra]

But I probably couldn't use this (front side)

[night urchin]

nvme

get what i did there

[odd marsh]

9700X is better than 7700X

[limpid dune]

oh that might work, check the manual for the computer

[night urchin]

slr

[dawn tundra]

AMD = the more X's the better 🤣

[limpid dune]

"slr"?

yeah, 9700X is marginally faster for 7700X in gaming, especially when fclk is overclocked

[night urchin]

alr

[limpid dune]

aaah

I was like "slur? that can't be right"

guys what do yall think of this for a NAS
(€250)
*Lenovo Thinkstation P700

With 2x Intel Xeon E5-2650v3 10-core, 40threads
32gb ddr4 ram (more ram is possible)
Nvidia quadro K620 2gb gpu
256GB SSD with Windows 11, Office 365 package and licenses
4 diskbays (1 in use) for SSD or HDD drives

Shipping possible

Price includes VAT*

[trim gyro]

yeah you don't need a 10-core dual xeon cpu for a NAS

[tidal geyser]

you do know a NAS does not need a gpy and is fine even with 2 cores

[quick stag]

gonna put proxmox on it too

[serene pumice]

HDD? In 2025? Illegal!

[tidal geyser]

and what is this about 256GB SSD with Windows 11, Office 365 package and license

[quick stag]

triple cluster proxmox

[serene pumice]

[tidal geyser]

you said NAS

[quick stag]

idk description of it

[quick stag]

nas and proxmox

[tidal geyser]

then i would get anything pcie to sata card

WAY easier to pass it to truenas or something

[quick stag]

has sata ports on the board

[serene pumice]

I don't get the point of NAS.
Why would you want to keep something you already watched?

[quick stag]

hardware raid too

[hexed tapir]

22nm Intel in 2025

[tidal geyser]

but i would still go for a 12100 or something

[serene pumice]

Just redownload it if wanting to rewatch it

[tidal geyser]

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

[tidal geyser]

for others to watch too

[quick stag]

tf is wrong with hardware raid

[tidal geyser]

or you know just keeping stuff like games or such

[trim gyro]

and raw videos and pictures from camera

[quick stag]

if it works it works

[tidal geyser]

controller dies you die inside

ALWAYS ALWAYS if possible do software raid

[serene pumice]

I guess.
But isn't storage more safe if powered off?

[limpid dune]

hardware raid in 2025? jeez

[tidal geyser]

bit rot

[serene pumice]

I always disconnect my HDD inside my PC case, whenever I'm not using it

[limpid dune]

ZFS is more performant, more flexible, more recoverable, more informative, more secure, more preventative, and uses less CPU than chipset RAID

[serene pumice]

physically

[tidal geyser]

and if you wanna move it you just can

if the i dono rest of the computer nukes itself you do not lose EVERYTHING

[limpid dune]

I can't even list all of the downsides to chipset RAID in one discord message, but yeah

[tidal geyser]

if the HDDs did not ofc

[serene pumice]

Soon you'll say my 10 year+ old SD cards data in my book shelf is in danger beacuse unused

[tidal geyser]

are there even any benefits anymore

[tidal geyser]

how hot does it get

[limpid dune]

it lets you have parity striping on Windows, but that's it

[serene pumice]

We live in the Nordics, 21 celsius

[limpid dune]

LDM, by default, only allows for RAID 0 unless you get enterprise versions of Windows

[tidal geyser]

well yeah but my place gets to 26c NOW in the cooler ish times, anyways hot temps make bit rot happen faster

[plush wren]

i want a nas just to have it, not even to use it

would use it for like a week then i couldnt be bothered afterwards

[serene pumice]

Do you live outdoors or?

[plush wren]

i fucking hate yanwen these mfs ship so slow

[tidal geyser]

nau its fkn efficent

[serene pumice]

Usually you have walls that isolate outdoor temperature from indoors

[tidal geyser]

THAT IS THE ISSUE

[serene pumice]

That is the solution*

[tidal geyser]

its like 10c outside while inside its 26c

[plush wren]

temp stays inside vro

[serene pumice]

Keeps hot air out

[tidal geyser]

i wish

[quick stag]

but like i really need a new nas cause my synology nas is getting way too tragically slow

i think my synology is from like 2013 or something

[serene pumice]

Just open all the windows & doors, 90*degree angle

[tidal geyser]

it was not even close to good in 2013

[plush wren]

yeah i womder how its gonna be in the summer im already on life support

[tidal geyser]

i have one window and that is it

[serene pumice]

Then close, cool air gg ez

[plush wren]

buy an ac

[quick stag]

Synology DS115j Diskstation

[tidal geyser]

well i can open

[plush wren]

power draw goes crazy

[quick stag]

thats my synology

[tidal geyser]

yeah its shit we know

[serene pumice]

Sound unoptimal for changing air

[plush wren]

[dawn tundra]

But free

[tidal geyser]

i have a air heat exchanger but its just so i dono fucky

[quick stag]

this is.. tragic.

[plush wren]

buy a massive fan

[quick stag]

connected via 1gbit ethernet btw

[serene pumice]

You mean you live alone, or at home & can only perceive the possibility of opening the window in your own rooom?

[tidal geyser]

alone

[serene pumice]

Radical

Thought you were like 16

[tidal geyser]

apartment

[tidal geyser]

17 and in 2 days not

[serene pumice]

Neat! Also moved from home at 17

[dawn tundra]

I am looking rn but I didn't see anything about display in the imdex

[quick stag]

what bullshit is this

[tidal geyser]

been living alone for almost a year

[plush wren]

sounds great and also horrible

[serene pumice]

Finally gets to do your own dishes & laundry!!1

[thorn pewter]

[night urchin]

Chat gpt says other wise

[dawn tundra]

Btw remember when I was talking about recovering Data from that old laptop?

I recovered a lot of old photos and other stuff

But I also found a screenshot of someone ( I'm guessing my dad ) playing Gmod! I was really shocked but it makes sense

[odd marsh]

Ok then use ChatGPT to make a significant purchase

[dawn tundra]

Lemme send the photo

[limpid dune]

chatGPT is a stupid box of numbers and can't tell you how many Ls are in the word lullaby. you shouldn't use it to plan PCs

why does it say the 7700X is more "future proof" when the 9700X is literally from the future?

[limpid dune]

LLMs will happily defend CPUs that literally don't exist

it's insane that people think this thing will replace engineers

[night urchin]

ok ill js get the 9700x

[fallen sky]

What AI

Oh GPT

I’m using GPT-4o and it says they have been released

Nvm. It’s Gemma

GPT is on it though.

[serene pumice]

@fallen sky Chinese DeepSeek AI is superior though 🐋 🇨🇳 🐳

Asked the same question & it could comprehend it was a typo

[fallen sky]

Ask it if 🇹🇼 is a country

[fallen sky]

GPT just did that

[tender folio]

Im gonna get this laptop for college and gaming what do we think

[serene pumice]

I did, it gave a great long responnse

& after finishing, it deleted it all

& said "sorry

[fallen sky]

…

[serene pumice]

Or, I asked "Is west taiwan a real country?"

[fallen sky]
