i just noticed that my r5 5600 on stock cooler is cooking for no reason 🗿

#

this better not be thermal paste i alr changed it once

austere geyser
#

Stock coolers aren't THAT good

pearl pebble
#

i assume not THAT bad either

grizzled frost
#

Stock coolers are pretty not great

austere geyser
#

They're usable but almost anything else is better

pearl pebble
#

damn

grizzled frost
#

they're basically the bare minimum

austere geyser
grizzled frost
#

I'd recommend a single or dual tower cooler

#

Honestly i'd just get a dual tower from thermalright, they can be had for under 40usd and perform quite well

austere geyser
#

Or an AIO

grizzled frost
#

it'll be enough cooling for a while to come upgrades wise

#

AIO is gross overkill for a 5600 and has a more limited life span

#

also more expensive

lol trying to figure out how to put this on the m.2 slot on back of motherboard. https://a.co/d/i3AAeki

Hi I have a g pro headset and when I do the playback loop test it hurts my ears. I’m so confused as to why it doesn’t work. Suggestions on what I should select in audio settings? Also idk what I should do because it doesnt work at all.

# grizzled frost *funnily enough i was looking into how to solve that exact problem for my PC, so...

See I’m planning an itx nas and just learned my motherboard doesn’t really support bifurcation. I wanted to have

At least 4 port hba
Optane 16gb boot drive cuz cheap as hell
10gbe
1tb NVME cache.

Was originally gonna do all m.2 stuff and use a m.2 bifurcation card. Now I’m going with a pcie hba, the 10gbe port on the m.2 on the back, the cache in the main m.2 bay, and the boot drive is just gonna be a cheap ass sata ssd.

#

On another note Lexar is selling TLC 128gb ssds for $14 rn

is it comparable?

On another note why tf are all the 10gbe cards pcie gen 3 x4?

stock cooler sucks

#

alright, thanks a lot guys

#

81c at 56w is pretty bad though

rigid fjord
#

stock cooler ain't great but tbh, still fine temp wise

solid crown
#

whats the max power of the cpu

pearl pebble
#

uhhhhhhh, where do i find that

solid crown
#

what cpu is it

rigid fjord
pearl pebble
#

r5 5600

#

and its stock cooler

clear canyon
#

81c for the 5600 is doodoo ass shit

solid crown
#

hmm

grizzled frost

I assume its the crappier stock amd cooler

rigid fjord

#

temps r like this rn

grizzled frost
#

can you put the CPU under load so we can actually see some helpful measurements?

clear canyon
grizzled frost
#

idle temps are kind of irrelevant

pearl pebble
#

alright

rigid fjord
solid crown
#

oh they even have the wraith max/prism

#

but yeah stealth and spire are both not great

rigid fjord
pearl pebble
#

well its doing 60c+ easily no idle

#

oh i should umm

mention its 30c rn

grizzled frost
#

as in ambient?

pearl pebble
#

i should have started with that

#

yeah room temp

grizzled frost
#

holy fuck

#

dude are you okay?

rigid fjord
pearl pebble
#

yeah? do you happen to be in the north pole?

solid crown
#

its 30c in your house or outside

pearl pebble
#

lemme checkl

#

28c indoors

solid crown
#

thats still pretty high

rigid fjord
#

not really

pearl pebble
#

yeah i should probably turn the AC on, 28c is high enough to ruin some meds in the cabinet

solid crown
#

I keep it at 23.3c during the day and 21.1c during night

pearl pebble
#

i assume this and bad CPU cooler are enough to make temps this bad?

grizzled frost
#

correct

know speaking of wraith, i do recall that when ryzen first came i out, there was a whole lot of praise for the cooler, at least WRT to intels offering

#

i shudder to think what prompted that reaction

Oh yeah, the top end box coolers AMD had were actually usable

#

The Intel box coolers worked fine on lower end parts, but most people replaced them (in the diy market)

Hi, i'm planning to buy a new PC and build it myself, but this time i want to go with amd graphics card, a RX 9070 XT. But just right now i saw a Tiktok about someone whose 9070 xt crashes all the time and also on reddit lot of people having similiar issues. Some are saying things like "yes thats typical for amd" or such things. So is it a bad idea to go with a AMD card or especially a 9070xt. Would be a shame cause the card seems pretty awesome. Thanks for every answer

i could look up audio toroidal ones

though it uses some small like 1.8-2.0" OLED display or something and its burned in/dying, so I need to find a replacement

or just get a new DAC

i could rip apart a usb charger and just use that SMPS for 5v, it doesnt need to be clean linear

#

well there ya go, i could use a ripped apart usb charger and then dedicated toroidal for the power stage, thanks

#

im making the preamp first anyways

#

just use the prongs from a c13 cable into these

only issue is it only has 2 legs

Hi, if I get a Microsoft office licence that’s bound to my MS account, can I use it on multiple devices at once?

swift moss
#

as long as those devices have ms account

#

you dont need an office license to use office if you use other methods though

gilded thistle
#

Oh ok, so the other licence that’s bound to the pc can only be used on 1 device at once?

I think windows actually hates me.

they be expensive

I kind of regretted getting the bigger thicker Strimer for the gpu but that will go away as I’ve gotta downgrade the cooler anyway it’s just too beefy. It’s even supposed to have a 2nd fan on there but can’t fit

steady widget
#

oh yeah you should be good

ebon prawn
#

thats way smarter acc

steady widget
#

PSU cables cant be mix and matched (usually) so getting extensions is usually easier and less to worry about

thank you

vapid sentinel

np :3

ebon prawn

100$ vs 250

nice

vapid sentinel

The only psu cable worth considering is like a 12v2x6 for a 40/50 gpu

ebon prawn
#

whats moidflex vs modmesh

vapid sentinel
#

Looks the same

#

Just go with modmesh

ebon prawn
#

20 bucks cheaper than psu cables tahts awesome

vapid sentinel
#

Yeah idk about that. I don’t buy directly from cablemod with all that selection etc

ebon prawn
#

true

#

it would look so good tho

#

esp with the stupid gpu cables being 2x 8 pins on one wire

I find stuff like this
