It is next to word saying boot

[tidal geyser]

na i did already know that but wanted to make fun of stating the eh "obvious"

[tidal geyser]

[buoyant vapor]

Bios

[tidal geyser]

or bios

yeah that goes away when in windows

[quick stag]

that dont look goo

[buoyant vapor]

Ok cool

[quick stag]

good

[azure topaz]

7gbps down but 30ms latency nah

[tidal geyser]

im gonna enjoy tommorow, no school

[buoyant vapor]

I have school 😔, but i am going to nuclear power plant on wednesday with school 🥳

[latent gull]

Waters only blue if there’s tons of it and it’s all in the one place, and that’s means it has sharks in it!

[tidal geyser]

[latent gull]

Swim in the forbidden pool

[buoyant vapor]

Our physics department is lucky

No phones allowed inside unfortunately

[tidal geyser]

i wonder if Norway has any anymore

test reactors

[upbeat orchid]

people who work in these kinds of fields have to use phones with no cameras

[tidal geyser]

xd

i love those

[buoyant vapor]

What is this cable, i forgot about it in my motherboard box

[wide tapir]

Is there any meaningful difference between 5200 MT/s and 5600 MT/s RAM?

[tidal geyser]

sata

[gentle chasm]

That is a sata for SSD or HDD

[tidal geyser]

just go 6000MT

[wide tapir]

Unsupported

[tidal geyser]

or optical disk writers and readers

[tidal geyser]

eh?

what cpu

[wide tapir]

It's a laptop

[tidal geyser]

am5 cpus are meant to be at 6000MT

[azure topaz]

what board more like

[tidal geyser]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA yeah CUSOdimm max is 5600MT

[azure topaz]

SO

[tidal geyser]

not cudimm

[azure topaz]

SODIMM

[tidal geyser]

but SODIMM

[azure topaz]

CUDIMMs are the ones with the redrivers

[tidal geyser]

i know

must have been thinking about it before when you were talking about a raise

as in you get CUDIMM for big fast ram

[azure topaz]

mhm

[rigid fjord]

then you see dell's equivalence and go "wtf was you smoking?"

[latent gull]

But does it work?

[rigid fjord]

yes for certain dell laptops, but it sucks as a design principle

[latent gull]

If it’s stupid but it works, it’s not stupid

[tidal geyser]

no that is the stuff meant to be CAMM2 but well now you can say CAMM

as in that is CAMM while desktop will use CAMM2

[buoyant vapor]

Can anyone recommend a website to buy windows 11

[tidal geyser]

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11

https://tenor.com/view/its-totally-free-shea-whitney-it-doesnt-cost-anything-free-of-charge-gif-23078547

[buoyant vapor]

Cheaper 🦧

[tidal geyser]

you wanna get money for installing windows?

[buoyant vapor]

Ye

[rigid fjord]

you're not special enough for that

[fringe prairie]

there is cso-dimm which maxes out at 6400

but only arl and zen5 laptops get it

[tidal geyser]

wait zen5 IMC can do dat

well on mobile

also ofc if you slap a redriver on the shitter its gonna change some shit

[hollow mountain]

You mean a website to get grey market product keys?

[buoyant vapor]

If grey market means cheap then yes

[hollow mountain]

Just deal with the watermark

[tidal geyser]

i was expecting you to send a link to some gray narket site then get nuked by mods

[hollow mountain]

If he wants it he can find it pretty easilyl thats all im gonna say

[tidal geyser]

you can also do it for free dam easy

[rigid fjord]

why bother when windows is free

[hollow mountain]

I don't know

If he wants the watermmark to be gone or be able to change his wallpaper?

or just do a regtistry edit for the watermark

[rigid fjord]

still free to do

[hollow mountain]

exactly

[rigid fjord]

microsoft: "you have to pay to properly use our software"
also microsoft: "here's the documentation on how activation works with some free keys, and how to make your own activation server so you don't have to pay us for activating our software"

[hollow mountain]

Microsoft doesn't care about revenue from Windows for consumers

[frail topaz]

I just spent 6 hours troubleshooting the fact why I didnt have internet at home. I haven't paid my contract.

[hollow mountain]

That's why they have all of this

[tidal geyser]

wat

[tidal geyser]

XD

[frail topaz]

6 Hours of RouterOS Hell.

[rigid fjord]

smh

[frail topaz]

HELL.

[lethal bay]

how did it take you 6 hours to see “no internet connection” in your router settings

[frail topaz]

Exactly that was what im trying to troubleshoot because pppoe was connected

[hollow mountain]

^^^^^

[tidal geyser]

also aint it automatic

[lethal bay]

Like I’m at work and I could find out if my shit was down rn

[frail topaz]

Automatic as in

[hollow mountain]

what router do you have

[frail topaz]

Mikrotik hap AX3

specifically -> C53UiG+5HPaxD2HPaxD

[tidal geyser]

aint internet payment automatic?

[frail topaz]

Here no lmao

[frail topaz]

cz we dont do card

[lethal bay]

[frail topaz]

we use cash lmao

[lethal bay]

diabolical

might as well barter with bread

[frail topaz]

Welcome to albania

[plush wren]

cash mostly everywhere?

[frail topaz]

Sorry?

My brain is fried.

[plush wren]

as in

cards are accepted in bigger stores

[frail topaz]

Yup

[plush wren]

everyone else uses cash

same here

[tidal geyser]

only one person for my birthday gave me cash

[sweet zephyr]

Peanuts

Prolly ordering parts for a new pc tmr

Bread

[plush wren]

[sweet zephyr]

Make some

[hazy timber]

Is there a list for recommended 5070ti or the differences between them

[calm kite]

Are Nvidea drivers fixed now for 30 series cards?

Just got the latest version of davinci resolve and i can't use it without updating my gpu

[unreal sapphire]

I need help
just got a pc and everything works except the gpu i was really excited for this and the gpu just dosent turn on

i tried everything

[azure topaz]

slot is broken af

looks like it anyways

i cant really trell what im seeing lowkey

[azure topaz]

oh okay just really dark and some smds

does it have another slot to test anyways? may as well

[unreal sapphire]

okay ill try

its really dirty

[azure topaz]

should fit if you unplug the wifi card or etherrnet card or wahtever

[unreal sapphire]

yea

[azure topaz]

prolly work i mean as a test

[teal bay]

A usb port on my pc randomly decided it doesnt want to work how to fix

[unreal sapphire]

nothing

[neon willow]

I’m trying to remove my gpu to add another ssd slot, however I don’t know for 100% certainty that this is the pcie latch and I want to make sure. My motherboard is the MSI Pro B650 VC WiFi

[neon willow]

Never mind, it was all for nothing, there’s an m.2 slot right under my graphics card 😭

[whole garden]

That's the latch

[calm kite]

Adding onto this, you might need to push it quite firmly - can be a pain, dont use a screw driver, it could slip and scratch your board

I made that mistake once and bongo'd a connection

[limpid ivy]

rip same here

[whole garden]

I did that when I was first building computers and knocked off some components lol

[calm kite]

It seems more common than i thought

[limpid ivy]

ironic but I had that latch completely fall out while I was doing maintenance on my system last time lol. Haven't been bothered since to find it.

big fat 7900xt just being held down with the included gpu support and screws

[calm kite]

So either you made upgrades either easier for yourself or impossible, and now i need to know which

[limpid ivy]

easier lol

I just gotta watch how I put the gpu back carefully which in that case the deepcool ak500 has to come out

[calm kite]

What GPU?

[limpid ivy]

Powercolor Hellhound 7900xt

as big as the PNY 4080 super

[calm kite]

Ahh, no real need to upgrade any time soon anyway, thats a problem for future you lol

[limpid ivy]

future me is just building a new system

[calm kite]

Future me doesn't blame future you

[limpid ivy]

made use of what AM4 had to offer lol.

Prob the only thing I will transfer over is the case.

[calm kite]

I have B660m, Intel i5 12 th gen and 3070ti, i might just wait till the 60 series is released and get a 50 series i won tlie

[neon willow]

This screw came from my pc and I have no idea where it came from. I am hoping it’s not something important

[proper gull]

That looks like something important

[neon willow]

Thank you for worsening my worries

[teal bay]

guys i already have win 11 installed but i wanna reset it how do i do this

[calm kite]

Expansion slot screw

Check your NVME

[teal bay]

do i reinstall it or reset it?

[steel umbra]

random screws on your motherboard are worrisome if they short something

[neon willow]

I screwed the nvme in unless there’s another screw I have to worry about

[teal bay]

eh its fine who even need screws

[steel umbra]

discord compression

[neon willow]

This is true

[calm kite]

NVME should be your storage card that sits under (slightly below) your GPU - at least on M-atx boards anyway - which it looks like yours is - this looks like the support screw that holds it down

[steel umbra]

or poor capture/camera?

[calm kite]

one sec ill show you on mine

[hidden hill]

Any idea where I can see if my cpu is already overclocked or not

[neon willow]

iPhone, doubt it

[calm kite]

oh damn nevermind then

maybe an SSD mount screew or HDD/ or a fan screw?

[grizzled frost]

bios

[steel umbra]

ez nvme clip right?

[neon willow]

I had to screw the “clip” on top of the screw

[calm kite]

i'm now curious to solve the case

[neon willow]

I am going to assume that my ssd came with the screw

Because everything I messed with seems to be in order

[calm kite]

could of just been a screw that you dropped and forgot about when you built it and now youve seen it and thought oh damn

if its not a mobo stand screw or an SSD screw or anything i wouldn't worry too much

[neon willow]

That is so true!! (Prebuilt from Best Buy that I opened only once to add a capture card)

[calm kite]

that would explain it, best buy are known for their incredibly build quality! /s

[neon willow]

I am going to close it up and forget about it. Wish me luck that I didn’t short anything!

[steel umbra]

next thing you know is electro wizard frying your pc!

[teal bay]

Local re install or cloud download?

[hidden hill]

Do prebuilt manufactures typically overclock cpus?

[calm kite]

No

[hidden hill]

Hmm, not sure if I should do it

On a 9800x3d

[calm kite]

Not worth it IMO, minimal gains for increased wear

[hidden hill]

Ok ty

[teal bay]

Is it worth over clocking s ryzen 5 5500?

[steel umbra]

hopefully not

[calm kite]

No

[steel umbra]

prebuild makers tend to suck at that

especially fan tuning

[calm kite]

auto boost on ryzen 5 5500 is all youll probably get anyway so you wont gain anything

[teal bay]

Oh ok

Should I overclock my rx6600?

[steel umbra]

generally prebuild makers should focus on value and assembly of the actual parts

fan profile can be easily set by the user

[calm kite]

Are you comfortable flashing bios? if not i wouldn't bother, could brick your card - plus the gains would probs be throttled by the vram

[teal bay]

Alr Ty

[calm kite]

Np - overclocking really doesn't see many benefits unless you are water cooling, pushing and removing limiters etc

[steel umbra]

i mean you can play with sliders in adrenalin, but don’t expect better than ~8% perf uplift

[calm kite]

and i wouldn't even do that because im clueless

[empty quartz]

I fucking hate windows some days

[teal bay]

Alr Ty

[hidden hill]

Wonder if I should change my fan tuning, thermaltake hopefully would have made a decent setting for it

[empty quartz]

Like holy shit, let me shut down my laptop and update it later.

[steel umbra]

make sure everything is stable because random crashes are not worth it over some couple fps

[calm kite]

holding on for dear hope that steam OS is good

[jaunty apex]

Is it not already?

[calm kite]

It could be, i have't used it, just keep saying i'll switch and i dont

[boreal vine]

mmMMMmmmMMM

[lean flame]

is this good airflow?

[boreal vine]

@carmine yew I know you'd just love this thing HAHAHHAHAHA

[jaunty apex]

I mean it's only got 2 supported devices, one of which also ships with windows but has been tested to be slower for gaming with windows rather than SteamOS. Provided anticheat isn't an issue really.

[calm kite]

fan at the bottom is pointless as the PSU will block airflow

[calm kite]

If i had more time to tinker i'd move to linux, but honestly i cannot be bothered with all of that

[jaunty apex]

Fair. I find it fun enough to

Its getting better though. Past few years have been golden, lots of progression

[hidden hill]

Is there any other things I can do to make my pc better?

[jaunty apex]

You have a high enough tier PC it shouldn't matter ngl

Just make sure you aren't installing random stuff for "performance" or a bunch of antivirus, defender is good enough generally

[neon willow]

I have plugged everything in and my pc + graphics card powers on. However my monitor doesn’t detect input from my graphics card, despite being plugged in

Is this a graphics card seating issue?

[calm kite]

thats a vague question, better in what way?

[calm kite]

sounds dumb but is it plugged into the gpu and not the cpu slot on the back

[neon willow]

Yes, I tried hdmi and display port

• I disabled onboard graphics because it was messing with steam

[calm kite]

any lights on the mobo on boot?

[jaunty apex]

Its already a 5800x3d and 5080, for context ^^^^

[neon willow]

Fans are spinning so I assume so

Lemme check

[calm kite]

reboot and see if theres any indicator lights flashing or staying lit on mobo for the first few seconds

[neon willow]

Orange and red lights

[calm kite]

is it blinking or staying lit

[neon willow]

Staying lit

[calm kite]

check ram/ SSD etc

[neon willow]

Grrrr

[calm kite]

is this a new install or have you changed something or?

[neon willow]

I have another ssd on but I didn’t mess with it because it’s covered by a graphics card and fan. Did adding a new cpu really brick my system?

SSD*

[calm kite]

most likely not, but does the bios load up?

[neon willow]

Not to my knowledge. The problem is no detected monitor output

[calm kite]

so the problem most likely is that the bios verson doesnt support your new cpu

Check ram - reseat it / swap config around

Check to make sure CPU is properly aligned and no bent pins - check cpu on AM or mobo pins on intel boards

You have plugged in CPU power to PSU yes?

[neon willow]

I got a new SSD not cpu, that was a mistype

Now the motherboard light is staying white

[calm kite]

is it internal or is it a board slot?

[lost lance]

im confused about this motherboard i have its a msi b550 gaming gen 3 and on the websit it says it supports up to 4400mhz+ with oc but on the details page it says only 3200mhz

[neon willow]

Board slot

[calm kite]

okay, it might just be that your gpu isnt seated properly

[neon willow]

Ok good

That’s what I thought

[calm kite]

or that the power cable to it isnt connected properly

is there a light on it when you boot up? - most gpus have a light on the board somewhere

[neon willow]

This looks fully seated right? I reput it in. And yes, there was light coming from the gpu when I turned the pc on

[calm kite]

Kinda hard to tell really - if theres a light on the GPU but it doesn't go into bios then I have no idea really - somethings gone awry

especially since you only upgraded your SSD

[calm kite]

it looks okay, i think we're past a seating issue if theres a light on the GPU when you power on

[stray olive]

Is it true that its bad to pair an ASRock board with a 9800x3d? I keep seeing post on reddit that the board kills it.

[ancient shale]

wait am i tripping or is this not a good price? i forgot how gpus are priced. currently on a 3060 ti

[grizzled frost]

a little above what most 5070s are going for rn

[hidden hill]

More performance

[calm kite]

From GPU? CPU? RAM?

[hidden hill]

Might just be fine as is, 5080+9800x3d is good enough

[trim gyro]

so many things you can do :O

[hidden hill]

I mean besides buying a 5090?

I kinda got into this phase where I want to keep upgrading things, think I just need to settle now

[lost lance]

I shoultn be able to overclock a 130$ 240hz monitor to 400hz at 800*600 right

[trim gyro]

yeah that's not going to work

[silent cypress]

can someone give opinions or help tweak my build
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2mxzgn

[lost lance]

either nvidia panel is wrong or im wrong because its at 450hz now

[trim gyro]

holy shit a $250 motherboard for a 9600X

[trim gyro]

try playing a game to see if you see any difference, then

[silent cypress]

is that a too expensive holy shit or too cheap holy shit

[trim gyro]

too expensive

[silent cypress]

aight

[steady talon]

should i go with a 5700x3d, 32gbs of ram and a 9060xt when it releases for £620 without selling gpu and cpu which should be around -250£ from the 620 which would be 370£ in.

or

should i do am5 with a 7600x (£380) for mobo,ram and cooler and hopefully save up more for a 5070 super for the 16gbs of vram coming out later/next year.

[trim gyro]

money will be better spent on getting a TLC ssd like an SN580 or MP44L instead of a P3 plus

[lost lance]

yeah its lying it just let me to go to a thousand lmao

[silent cypress]

is this betetr https://pcpartpicker.com/list/J647qH

[trim gyro]

yeah, could still use a better SSD though

[silent cypress]

aight

define "better" tho

more storage?

[trim gyro]

better endurance, read/write speeds

[random gyro]

Hi guys

[silent cypress]

k

[trim gyro]

cras c910, kingspec xg7000, wd sn580, mp44l, wd sn770 are good options

[silent cypress]

im not an expert at this ssd stuff

[random gyro]

Just don't use wd

Also does corsair make ssds?

[calm kite]

They do

[random gyro]

Nice

[trim gyro]

they do sell ssds, but most of them are overpriced

[calm kite]

cant say how good they are though

[trim gyro]

the only reasonable one being the 30mm ssds for steam decks, but there's better options now I think

[random gyro]

Samsung is used professionally right, for video editing and design i believe

[formal sonnet]

Technically, no - they rebadge Flash NAND and a controller on a circuit board, like many vendors out there. But yes, from a consumer perspective, Corsair "makes" SSDs.

[empty token]

ultimate nerd alert 🔥🔥🔥🔥i need more stuff to shove inside it

[trim gyro]

categorizing brand name to use-case is weird

[calm kite]

I guess by that method, youve got like what - three real 'manufacturers'?

[random gyro]

Basically what companies do with gpus like asus and evga etc

[silent cypress]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZTP4v4

[trim gyro]

I'm assuming you already have that 6700 xt, right? since $600 is a joke

[formal sonnet]

Yup. Samsung, Crucial (Micron), SK Hynix, and WD/SanDisk/whatever the heck they call themselves these days.

[random gyro]

Brand name is like how much percent of this line of products are good/bad/mid.

[trim gyro]

that doesn't sound specific enough for confidence

[calm kite]

Not as weird as Intel's GPU name branding

[silent cypress]

yes I already have it

[trim gyro]

it sounds cool so I forgive

[random gyro]

Brb gonna have morning coffee and come back

[silent cypress]

pretty sure i got it for around 450 ish

[calm kite]

Dual boot?

Yeah

[calm kite]

sucks you cant do it the other way around - i'd sell my macbook then - i only use it for logic pro

[empty quartz]

Wdym?

[calm kite]

OSX on PC - i get you can but its... finnicky

[empty quartz]

You can run windows natively on an intel mac…

Are you on the ISS?

[random gyro]

India

Brother it's different time for different parts of the earth

[calm kite]

Damn i didnt even know that there's minute variations in timezones

i thought it was all hourly

[random gyro]

So steam os good enough to replace windows yet?

[empty quartz]

Depends

[random gyro]

I heard it's gonna be available for pc soon

[calm kite]

^^^

[random gyro]

Not games wise software wise like adobe or coding or smth

[trim gyro]

looks better. Though I wonder if you really need the features of an ATX motherboard when mATX is usually cheaper

[empty quartz]

Fuck no

[calm kite]

yeah you'll probably have to wait for software intergration bud

[random gyro]

Then microsoft is gonna fck us

[empty quartz]

Nope

[random gyro]

I can't with those copilot dumb bullshit

[empty quartz]

Then uninstall it

[calm kite]

Steam OS will be good for steam - that i can garauntee - anything else? probably not for a long time

[empty quartz]

Not hard

[calm kite]

I am going to dual boot steam OS with Windows though and use it exclusively for gaming

[random gyro]

Small doubt wouldn't dual boot reduce read/write speeds ?

[empty quartz]

No

[calm kite]

different drives homie

[random gyro]

I thought you were gonna partion single drive mb

[empty quartz]

@random gyro what makes you think dual booting would even reduce speeds?

Even on a single drive

[random gyro]

Different sets of data right so I thought maybe more data more time in monkey terms

[calm kite]

I guess in theory it could - maybe if the indexing is weird or auto mounting is bonk

but i doubt it

[south arrow]

Should perform same same ❤️

[random gyro]

I'm still learning alot about computer hardware and software so pls don't mind my monkey brain

[south arrow]

All goods

[empty quartz]

On my 2010 macbook, i quintuple boot it; and have no issues

[calm kite]

Don't worry - we are all learning every day!

[calm kite]

what in tarnation

[silent cypress]

you never know ig

it just fits more snug in the case

[calm kite]

why do you have three different OSX boots lmao

correction - four

[empty quartz]

I use alot of different software

[calm kite]

understandable - apple be doing apple things

[random gyro]

Also why do you guys like Linus's beard so much?

[calm kite]

wat

[empty quartz]

Huh

[trim gyro]

I do like how audio interfaces interact with MacOS though

[random gyro]

I seen comments in videos about Linus beard

[empty quartz]

No, its because some of the software i use is too old for sonoma, and vice versa

[calm kite]

The built in software is very good - although my macbook air doesn't like me using usb C / USB adapters and takes a few different tries

particularly for midi

[trim gyro]

it's more intuitive than windows in that aspect

[random gyro]

Should I install Linux in my 2016 dell laptop?

[trim gyro]

nothing's stopping you

[random gyro]

Advice....

[calm kite]

It's relative really to user dependancy

[random gyro]

I need it for light web browsing

[calm kite]

.. You need Linux for light web browsing? o.O

[random gyro]

But I use ms paint so any alternate app/site?

[random gyro]

That laptop is shitbox

[trim gyro]

krita

[random gyro]

Dual core i3 6100u with 4 gigs DDR3 and some sata ssd drive idk which

[trim gyro]

you can still use ms paint in linux

[random gyro]

? How

[calm kite]

Wine

https://tenor.com/view/one-of-those-days-gif-26586745

[random gyro]

Can all of this work with the config I just told you?

[trim gyro]

yes

[random gyro]

Would I need a backup usb drive For reinstall?

[calm kite]

honestly im not a linux expert though dont listen to me, i used Ubuntu for 6 months ten years ago and got fed up

[calm kite]

always back up your main boot

[random gyro]

Ok

[fathom mesa]

So I have a second monitor I want to use
I only have 1 hdmi slot on my graphics card but I also have on on my motherboard

Could I connect the second one to my motherboard and still have it work?

[calm kite]

Do you have on board graphics?

[trim gyro]

does your monitor have displayport?

[calm kite]

didnt even think of that

[fathom mesa]

It's an a520m aPro

[trim gyro]

what cpu

[random gyro]

Are SanDisk products even reliable anymore?

[muted quarry]

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/Hf28v4 this is the build i was going to get but the graphics card doesn't look like it is on the site anymore, any help?

[fathom mesa]

Ryzen 5 2600x

[trim gyro]

no you cannot use your motherboard's hdmi port to display out your second monitor, since the 2600x does not have an igpu

[fathom mesa]

Fuck

[sand hinge]

hold up why

[calm kite]

You could USB to HDMI

but its slow

[sand hinge]

USB isnt what i would hear too often

[fathom mesa]

Ok so I will have to get that VGA to display port adaptor

I wished I could've just used the extra vga to hdmi adapter I already had

[sand hinge]

yes I'd imagine it's slow

[calm kite]

Im confused..

what gpu do you have?

[fathom mesa]

Nvidia Geforce gtx 1060 6gb

[calm kite]

which one?

[trim gyro]

sandisk is western digital

[fathom mesa]

Wdym

[random gyro]

Ik that but SanDisk used to have superior products than wd

[fathom mesa]

Ah wait I think i understand what you mean?

Gigabyte

[trim gyro]

I mean they have the SanDisk SN8100, which is one of the best SSDs right now

[random gyro]

Ok nice

[calm kite]

So if you have HDMI cable and VGA cable you can connect two monitors?

[fathom mesa]

Ok wait let me explain my setup rq

I have 2 Acer a203h monitors

Old as fuck and require a VGA cable
I have one of em connected to my GPU with a hdmi adapter

I want to connect the other one but I can't because there's only one usable hdmi slot because the motherboard idea was a bust

[calm kite]

oh okay, yeah in that case youll need some sort of conversion cable

[fathom mesa]

I gotta now go and buy a VGA to display port adaptor or VGA to DVI-d adapter

[calm kite]

im not familiar with the a203h but the x203h has hdmi and vga

[random gyro]

Get a hdmi split dongle

yall im taking a CIS 100 class which has something to do with computers. How beneficial will it be for me and tech?

[trim gyro]

try to see if your school has their own community chat that you can ask instead

[sand hinge]

it's gonna be at a completely foreign campus

since it's a program on it's own

my school nor counselor has no control over this class

[lone ibex]

How can I permanently stop windows update trying to update my GPU drivers? I'm not looking to stop windows updates entirely, just for when it tries to update my drivers and just fucking bricks everything instead

[grizzled frost]

windows doesn’t handle gpu drivers, the app related to your graphics card does

[latent pasture]

im pretty sure it tries

[calm kite]

it doesnt

[latent pasture]

especially in laptops

[alpine heron]

are you meaning for integrated graphics?

[gleaming rose]

I'm hungry

[lean flame]

what to do in the event of internet going down: reset router, if it did not work, reset modem, if it did not work call tech support.

[lavish owl]

If one of yall guesses what GPU this is then I'll give them a free lifetime supply of air

[gleaming rose]

amd

[random gyro]

Old gpu

[calm kite]

[gleaming rose]

[lavish owl]

Ding ding ding

[gleaming rose]

send me the supply pls

I need it for my diving expeditions

[calm kite]

Don't get stuck in any millionaires submarines

[gleaming rose]

lmaoooo

[random gyro]

Only get in submarine if it has wired controller

[latent pasture]

if it doesnt then what causes infamous errors like error 300 for amd

[lavish owl]

A Logitech from the 200s to be precise

[latent pasture]

cuz literally everyone says windows changed the drivers

[lavish owl]

Mind if I show off a GPU of mine rq?

[latent pasture]

or r u trying to be semantic pedantic going 'wuhh uhh windows doesnt update drivers it downgrades to a past verson teeeechnicuhlly im rite'

[random gyro]

One thing all of us can agree on is fuck microsoft

[calm kite]

no bro, windows does not gather drivers for non integrated GPUs... nobody is telling you that. You're clearly getting confused.

AInt nobody here being pedantic god damn

[hidden hill]

am i able to make my external ssd not load during post or boot?

[lost lance]

I honestly cant tell the difference on this monitor becasue i overclocked it and apparently now its running at 400hz but its only suppose to run at 240hz

[lavish owl]

Your acne too do that?

[hidden hill]

think its doing some weirdness

[lost lance]

what the hell?

[lavish owl]

*can not acne

Sorry auto correct

[latent pasture]

can u elaborate?
bc if its external just...unplug it?

[random gyro]

How the hell did you increase frequency in a monitor

[lost lance]

its not really running at 400hz it says it is but running alien test and both the 200fps and the 400fps look the exact same

[random gyro]

What did you even do to achieve this matrix of a lie in your monitor

[lost lance]

magic

[random gyro]

🙏

[lavish owl]

Can you be our scholar?

Am I gonna get a bottleneck?

[latent pasture]

400hz is so far up the diminishing return curve that even if it does work it might still look the same to you

[lost lance]

it says its running at 400hz but in reality its running at 240

it literally looks the EXACT same when it ha 400fps to 200fps on the alient test

what the hell its running at 104hz??

[lost lance]

its so weird cause it will say its running at like 400hz or whatever but if i check the actaul monitor menu it says its running at 104hz

i dont know why it goes from 400 to 104

[frosty prism]

Hey, I'm trying to install windows on a usb so i can reinstall my os, however anytime i use the iso in rufus i recieve this error, (downloaded the latest media creation tool from microsoft)

[azure topaz]

did u read it

[frosty prism]

i did

[azure topaz]

so turn of secure boot and use it 👍

[frosty prism]

all im asking is should i be worried? i have secure boot off

[frigid blade]

No you should be fine

[frosty prism]

what if i plan to enable secure boot after installing windows will that be fine too?

[frigid blade]

You’ll see when you turn it on

[frosty prism]

im not liking the eerie here

[frigid blade]

I don’t know what will happen specifically, but it’s not gonna kill your pc

[frosty prism]

obviously not but the whole "uefi malware" part of it

[frigid blade]

That would mean Microsoft is hosting an image with UEFI malware

[swift moss]

There are not too many viruses that burrow that deep

[frigid blade]

If you used the media creation tool

I highly doubt it

I would assume it might be a really new image and it shows up as that? Maybe?

[frosty prism]

its windows 10, cant be a new image

[frigid blade]

That could be why, they don’t support windows 10 anymore and probably revoked the bootloader

Aha

If Rufus gave you a warning about the boot manager, its because the current Windows 10 ISO uses an older, vulnerable boot manager

ALL of the official Windows 10 retails ISOs have that issue because they all use a bootloader that is vulnerable to the BlackLotus vulnerability, and Microsoft has not released any updated ISOs for Windows 10 which means that they still use UEFI bootloaders from before when that vulnerability was discovered.

[frosty prism]

so should i just press ok and go on with my day?

[frigid blade]

There’s a windows security update that you can install that patches that vulnerability

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/how-to-manage-the-windows-boot-manager-revocations-for-secure-boot-changes-associated-with-cve-2023-24932-41a975df-beb2-40c1-99a3-b3ff139f832d#bkmk_install

[formal sonnet]

That depends. Are you trying to create a Windows 10 or 11 install USB? If Windows 11, you may want to grab a newer Windows 11 ISO file from Microsoft's official download site.

[frigid blade]

It’s 10

[formal sonnet]

Ah I just saw that, my bad. In that case, I would recommend not using it at all. Windows 10 reaches end of life in less than 5 months.

[frigid blade]

Yes but make sure you update windows after installing, specifically security updates

Or go with the an LTSC version to have longer term security updates

[frosty prism]

doesnt matter i can update to 11 in the future, i want 10 right now

[frosty prism]

how so?

[formal sonnet]

Assuming they have a license for LTSC, sure. However, I know of no legal ways consumers can buy LTSC licenses.

[frigid blade]

Mmmm, if you don’t wanna pay you’ll have to figure out on your own

But when you install windows, select an ltsc version ( options show pro, home, etc)

[frosty prism]

im doing all of this to install atlas os

so im assuming i should enable driver installation and not disable it

[frigid blade]

I wonder what percent of people actually pay for a windows license

[frosty prism]

barely

[frigid blade]

I have a license for plausible deniability just in case :P

[latent pasture]

if counting unintentional then a lot cuz the overwhelming majority of pcs are prebuilts/laptops

[frosty prism]

@frigid blade so i should just press ok now and install windows normally and then update it then install atlas

[frigid blade]

Yah my recent prebuilt came with a GitHub license I’m pretty sure

[latent pasture]

laptops alone are diypc+pre assembeld pc+ proprietary prebuilts, times 3

[frigid blade]

I hope Microsoft starts pushing against kernel level anti cheats

[frosty prism]

@frigid blade i should keep secure boot off during all of this right?

[frigid blade]

I don’t think it matters

[frosty prism]

should i enable it after i install windows?

i'd like the protection so

[frigid blade]

If you want

4000D Airflow so poop that I use it as a bedside table, as a chair for my other desk and now my cat has an use case for it too

[steel umbra]

heheheh psu no auto discharge caps failure, touch psu you go boom

[steel umbra]

buy a new psu then

that one is ewaste now

it shouldn’t be used

[lavish owl]

Dw I'm using a different one have been for a while I'm using a corsair hx 1050watt

some groupy regulatey unit from 2014

[steel umbra]

alright

eat the capacitors and explode

[lavish owl]

Btw can yall rate the build

[ebon marlin]

Is that 2 Rtx 2060's together

should i be worried about my gpu hotspot temp being above 90+ celsius?

im not overclocking or anything

i undervolted it by a lil and setup a fan curve and now is sitting at a cool 71.4c while the gpu is fully utilized

and the gpu hotspot went down from 91c to a much comfortable 86c

[steel umbra]

guys, another thermaltake psu has been apparently component swapped - GF3

they basicly downgraded it to what gf a3 uses

[granite sundial]

9060 xt review leaked it's worse than the 5060 ti

[steel umbra]

i believe that would be another big L for thermaltake’s reputation

[granite sundial]

corsair seasonic EVGA PSUs only

everything else sucks

[steel umbra]

no

[peak knot]

bequiet PSUs are good

[steel umbra]

evga has the exclusive n1 ans w1

[true stirrup]

So wrong

[formal sonnet]

https://tenor.com/view/austin-powers-dr-evil-shhh-quiet-silence-gif-26979684

which are excellent at being so bad

[granite sundial]

be quiet PSUs are really expensive for what U get

[steel umbra]

12m

[plush wren]

i slept for longer than usual and i have never been more tired in my life

[granite sundial]

whole concept is kinda silly when a decent semi passive PSU the fan should never turn on

[peak knot]

i am not gonna lie about being biased as they gave me a 1600W titanium dark pro 13 on top of me being friends with their north american marketing director

[steel umbra]

seasoning psus have/had poor qc

their mid range focus lineup

[formal sonnet]

Maybe, but they're right up there with quality units from EVGA and Seasonic for me. That said, as with all things, research the model number thoroughly, because all brands make some crap products.

[granite sundial]

yeah

there's some really shit Corsair units on the low end

[steel umbra]

focus isn’t low end tho

[granite sundial]

like cv550

[steel umbra]

fx tripping protections, other issues
gx tripping breakers and ~ 1 in 10 units exploding

i had one tripping breakers myself

[granite sundial]

are the focus units still sold?

ive never seen anything recent about them

[steel umbra]

you can probably buy them in the eu

[granite sundial]

maybe, I don't think they're sold here from what I can see

what is their model numbers?

[steel umbra]

yes you can still buy strix psus atleast…

(focus)

and old focus gx looks to be sold out in most retailers

but unsure about the new focus so…

i don’t think those explode

BUT, you can still buy strix which does have the issues

[steel umbra]

00192876375983

[granite sundial]

no like the name, like rm850x or rm850e

[steel umbra]

rog strix 750w

or 650w, 850w

[granite sundial]

oh wait focus is seasonic not Corsair

[fallen sky]

It’s been 2 hours and the windows download is at 70%. 😴😴😴

[steel umbra]

focus gold is seasonic

and strix uses focus gold

[granite sundial]

yeah it takes a while

download U mean the iso?

[fallen sky]

No

[steel umbra]

also when the psu goes boom, that’s on the ac side and won’t/shouldn’t cause harm to your component

[fallen sky]

mct

[steel umbra]

you simply rma the psu

also focus gold (old) had decent amount of doa issues

[fallen sky]

I was playing CS2 in Econ and the first game on I got killed by a cheater 💔💔💔

[frosty prism]

my psu has been doing me dirty lowkey

i got a msi mag 850gl 2 months ago and it was flawless but now i get random black screens every few hours

[steel umbra]

anyways, buy model, not brand
but there are some brands where you’re not even sure about the model - Thermaltake

[frosty prism]

do all msi psus have a warranty?

[steel umbra]

is it the psu for sure

[steel umbra]

7 years for the agl

what’s your ac input voltage you’re inputting into it? btw

[frosty prism]

yeah the psu fan specifically ramps up to 100% when it happens

[frosty prism]

i have 0 idea, anyway to check that?

[steel umbra]

tried a diff psu right

[frosty prism]

i dont have a tester tool

[steel umbra]

google your country’s voltage

it’s your house

[frosty prism]

no the issue began a week ago and i have exams for a while so i need the pc to study with but in 2 weeks i'll get it rma'd

[frosty prism]

230V at a frequency of 50Hz

[steel umbra]

that’s fine

[frosty prism]

pc isnt plugged straight into the wall tho

i have a hub but its a good one

[steel umbra]

are you sure it’s the psu and not motherboard

how much cooler was your room a week or two ago?

[frosty prism]

it doesnt happen always but 2/6 times it happened the psu ramped up to 100% so

[steel umbra]

any overclocks or mem profiles?

[frosty prism]

probably cooler now, been using the ac more since its summer

[frosty prism]

nope no overclocks, only my ram

[tidal geyser]

legendary statement

[limpid dune]

OCCT linux works pretty good... but it shows a second phantom motherboard from 2008...

[steel umbra]

that’s strange

[frosty prism]

i was stressed because i thought psus didnt have a warranty

but i checked my amazon listing and it said a 10 year warranty so i just need to contact msi

[steel umbra]

if the psu blows something up yeah psu warranty won’t cover that

[frosty prism]

well everything in my pc has a warranty except the ssd ram and case lmao

[steady tulip]

Live on the edge, get a bunch of nvme ssd’s second hand and run them in raid 0

[frosty prism]

wait doesnt corsair ddr5 ram have a warranty

[steel umbra]

oh right the agl has up to 10 year warranty not 7

[frosty prism]

yeah and now i realized my ram does too

so its just my ssd so i'll probably be fine

[steel umbra]

anyways, i can’t confidently say what the issue is with your pc but might be up something with motherboard -> cpu, ram, gpu if it’s not the psu

[frosty prism]

im confident its the psu

but i'll get it replaced and i'll stress test it for hours

[steel umbra]

fair, it shouldn’t ramp up 100%

[hoary tree]

Looks like I mightve won the silicon lottery with the new replacement motherboard in my s22 ultra. :)

[tidal geyser]

XD

[winter swift]

Nah cuz i checked each text after comparing the 2070 to the 7800XT and was hella confused

[sick warren]

It’s been proven a long time ago, it got so out of hand that it said a 9700k performs 30% better than a r5 7600x

[winter swift]

Why the hate on AMD

[frail delta]

Yeah, they hate on Intel too much

[winter swift]

intel too?

[frail delta]

Biased bastards

[winter swift]

never using that site again

[sick warren]

No, they bias intel

Yeah use technical city

[frail delta]

:p

[winter swift]

They also bias amd too

[sick warren]

Nope

[winter swift]

check the gpu description under each amd card

[sick warren]

If they really did they wouldn’t put AMD as the 100% on cpu list

[winter swift]

Fair

wait

[sick warren]

They don’t scale on only gaming that’s why the 13700k seems better than the 9800x3d

[winter swift]

I specified the gpus though

I got confused

[tidal geyser]

not for gaming tho

[tidal geyser]

just so you know a shit ton of people have known about this for what 5 years or something

[sick warren]

There is a seperate section in the comparing on gaming capabilities but I don’t use it

[winter swift]

oh my goodness…

[tidal geyser]

userbenchmark is a very well knwon shit site

[winter swift]

Yeah just checked technical city

100% better

[tidal geyser]

look at their gpu thingy, where is the 4080 super and where is the 7900 XTX

[sick warren]

My friend almost didn’t upgrade to am5 from LGA 1151 because he was using user

[winter swift]

Yeah they use extra sections where other cards perform

So much better

[tidal geyser]

where is those 2 cards

but is it

Yes

[tidal geyser]

the ones i said

[sick warren]

Bro that’s gotta be obvious

[tidal geyser]

wanna know why i used those 2 cards

[sick warren]

Btw 7800xt is my dream gpu

[sick warren]

Because they are meant for each other in comparing?

[tidal geyser]

the 7900 XTX in raster is about the same or better performance then a 4080 super

hey tc1. just installed a 3900x into my nas server. looking to install everything into a jonsbo n1 and looking for a low profile cooler that wont fry my cpu

[tidal geyser]

yea

[sick warren]

Get like an id cooling one

[tidal geyser]

i would just run it in eco mode

[solar geode]

i was hoping noctua would have some good options but those dont seem to handle the base clock on it. getting kinda hard to find ones thatll keep it from overheating

[tidal geyser]

TF are you doing on the NAS

[warped burrow]

one of the links is cl32 with 6400 the other is 6800 cl34 i think the difference should be minimal so i am going with cl34 6800 as its a tad cheaper and fits my build theme a bit more

[tidal geyser]

100gig transfers or some shit

or is it a server

[solar geode]

at some point. maybe :)

just a trunas server running jf, nextcloud, and some starr programs

[stray cairn]

Back to C it is. No IDE, no auto-complete, no AI coder bullshit.

[warped burrow]

well if you build server from your old pc components its always gonna be overkill 😄

[sick warren]

Hacker

[warped burrow]

but overhead is never a bad thing :d

[winter lantern]

True
Coding is just yap to me

[tidal geyser]

what if a i have a phenome cpu

[warped burrow]

a what?

[sick warren]

I assume it’s Linux because code

[solar geode]

the one generation that could make linux run slow

[solar geode]

its running on macOS

[frail delta]

That's a mac

[solar geode]

its just the terminal with a skin

[warped burrow]

mac is linux (kinda)

[solar geode]

unix

somehow different

[frail delta]

No

[warped burrow]

(kinda)

[sick warren]

Didn’t bother zooming

[solar geode]

a worse linux

alright so its up to this: https://www.amazon.com/ID-COOLING-Profile-Heatpipes-92x92x15mm-Support/dp/B0BLSCMXMG
or this:
https://www.amazon.com/ID-COOLING-Profile-Heatpipes-120x15mm-Support/dp/B0CFPY9CKZ

[sick warren]

I would go to Linux if it was like windows with everything except bloatware and a simple one click application that’s never going to happen

[solar geode]

last one looks like it wouldnt cool a phone

[winter lantern]

Choosing to run macos is lowkey funny

[stray cairn]

It's actually my Nvidia Grace cluster

[solar geode]

but it does

[stray cairn]

Connected to my Mac via SSH

[sick warren]

I saw a dell laptop running on macOS at the thrift store display

[stray cairn]

And because the cluster has no GUI or ability to be connected to vscode SSH, I need to use Vim

[sick warren]

What is it called

[stray cairn]

And basically the primitives.

[sick warren]

Do I have to write a script

[winter lantern]

I have 64gb of ram so im fine with bloat

[solar geode]

most distros come with a package manager that has a GUI storefront. they either process things from flatpak or whatever packager that the distro supports

[sick warren]

Speaking of ram should I switch to ddr5 for an i5 13600k

[stray cairn]

Y'all I don't code this shit for MacOS ok

[sick warren]

Oh flat pack like the coolermaster qube 500 flat pack

[winter lantern]

I ain't the one to ask i just bought a used prebuilt

[solar geode]

i feel like this is bait

[tidal geyser]

rather go am5 at that point or something

that was a quick 2 weeks

[sick warren]

I’m not touching amd cpu unless it’s an itx budget build

Or a flip

[tidal geyser]

eh???

[sick warren]

I’m loyal to Intel 99.9990%

[tidal geyser]

:3

[sick warren]

What abt it

[solar geode]

even tho theyre cheaper and have better performance in most cases

[tidal geyser]

what do you think.

[fallen sky]

where the HELL is my mouse in the windows setup

[sick warren]

They are cpu models?

[warped burrow]

#1379361303424139334 message

[tidal geyser]

something special about em

[solar geode]

laptop?

[fallen sky]

Yeah

[sick warren]

I can’t find a 7500f

[winter lantern]

I ain't tryna get muted again 🥀

[fallen sky]

No usb mouse

[sick warren]

Ohh they are unlocked

[stray cairn]

I'll bite.

Im not touching AMD or Intel CPU anymore for work.

[solar geode]

is it a fresh install or brand new device

[fallen sky]

Fresh install

[tidal geyser]

are you unable to see the end?

[sick warren]

Yeah! Make your own cpu

[solar geode]

did you use built in reset method or external USB

[tidal geyser]

only nvidia cpus

[stray cairn]

I mean

[winter lantern]

Nvidia ai cpus

[sick warren]

I was just going to say that but then I replied to somebody else’s message

Okay I get it now they are Intel CPUs

[stray cairn]

Yeah, Im currently coding for it

Fucking NVPL.

[sick warren]

Isn’t that like 70k

[solar geode]

@fallen sky

[fallen sky]

USB

[solar geode]

ok so your drivers are missing

[fallen sky]

🥀🥀

[warped burrow]

i was too but amd cpus are just beasts right now...intel fell behind

[stray cairn]

Yep.

[solar geode]

youre gonna have to go through the setup using just the keyboard

[sick warren]

I’ll wait for it to make a comeback

[solar geode]

which is fine. just use tab and spacebar

[sick warren]

Bring back intel 4th gen type comeback

[winter lantern]

Do yall think nvidia and amd will abandoned gaming gpus and be for ai before 2028

Then intel will be the gpu king

[fallen sky]

I need to somehow choose a drive to install network driver even tho I already put the correct driver folder in the usb for setup

[stray cairn]

Nvidia already did and so does AMD

[tidal geyser]

motherboard for only one fkn gen YEA

[winter lantern]

Intel gonna save us

[fallen sky]

Ah there we go

[winter swift]

I wish i can buy my pc rn but my drivers license is far more important

[solar geode]

you can skip this by pressing shift + f10, shit + tabbing into the cmd prompt that opens and entering oobe\bypassnro

[winter swift]

I could buy it 3x over

[solar geode]

this will restart and let you bypass network requirements

[sick warren]

I thought intel was releasing a 24 or 32gb card I forgot which one

Probably a refresh of the b580

[winter lantern]

Yeah

[solar geode]

the professional card thats meant for enterprise?

and... AI?

[sick warren]

I don’t see anymore of the refreshed 12gb 2060s anymore

[fallen sky]

Didn’t work for me but I’m slowly making progress.

[solar geode]

might need to hold fn as well when doing the first hotkey

some laptops have fn lock enabled by default

[fallen sky]

did

OH HELL NO I need to do this Microsoft sign in bs

[solar geode]

and pressing shift + tab didnt show any cmd prompt?

[sick warren]

I still don’t get it

[fallen sky]

I should not have connected to WiFi yet

[sick warren]

Is it the power hungry/ overheating issue

[winter lantern]

Let's be all intel amd and nvidia are all gonna switch to Ai only gpus and the only way to game is to use a console

[fallen sky]

Yea it didn’t

[solar geode]

what laptop do you have

[fallen sky]

Acer swift 16

[sick warren]

Intel cpu + AMD gpu

[winter lantern]

Rate my theory

[fallen sky]

Time to waste my time with this stupid sign in stuff

[solar geode]

year and exact model #

[sick warren]

No a zombie apocalypse is going to happen before that happens

Dying light 4 irl

[warped burrow]

why not just get best cpu atm?

[solar geode]

well at least youre getting somewhere. just check windows update for driver downloads and youll be fine

[winter lantern]

Yeah but they're getting paid for those

[sick warren]

Because my cooler can’t take 254 watts of the i9 14900ks

[fallen sky]

Gotcha. Also first time using Face ID to sign in. Pretty cool if u ask me

[warped burrow]

really doubt that... gaming market is still huge lost of monies...and consoles kinda use gaming gpu chips dont they?

[fallen sky]

First time since I got my very first pc before covid

[true stirrup]

What cooler?

[solar geode]

yeah its very useful. its not very consistent but when it works its great. fingerprint tends to work better

[warped burrow]

thats why you go with amd

[stray cairn]

To be honest its just enterprise card but they optimize it for certain floating point computation, hence AI

[sick warren]

ID COOLING A410

[fallen sky]

Wait a damn minute.. I can’t skip the pin????
