[sinful cobalt]

since when did u tell me b r u h

[stark kiln]

Oh MB

[stark kiln]

Just first page

[amber adder]

thats what he should look for in pcs a divorced wife who had a pc gamer husband and is just selling his pc

[robust trail]

meanwhile I gave my my 30 series cards to friends 🎉

[left dove]

Good morning fellow dorks, dweebuses & doofuses

[rose stream]

Mind I ask why? I only now just noticed this conversation.

[stark kiln]

That's great my friend will give me a win11 download

[amber adder]

one mother board please : D

Do I uncheck this?

[tidal geyser]

r5 3600
gtx 1650 super
512GB nvme ssd
16GB ram
basic 1080p display and mouse and keyboard

ALL of this from mouse to monitor to keyboard and ofc pc was 160$

Selling the GPU hoping to get 40 bucks from it and already sold it since I just put a 100$ rx 6600 in it

[stark kiln]

As we aren't exactly rich and I just don't wanna make us spend more cash on something that's not mandatory. I already feel very bad about the PC thing

[south arrow]

If its for that pc checked is best

[left dove]

no you wanna check it at least 3 times

[robust trail]

You're not in northern Colorado are you?

[amber adder]

?

[stark kiln]

NYC

[tidal geyser]

First of all do not look at builders computers

[left dove]

Did I stutter

[robust trail]

eww the land of piss and popcorn smells

[stark kiln]

They're ALL OVER my listings

[tidal geyser]

Just keep it like that unless you wanna change anything there

[left dove]

Okay, but garlic butter popcorn

[robust trail]

lol

[tidal geyser]

Use your brain

[amber adder]

No but ik ur joking i just need to know if I should change it or not

[stark kiln]

Hey don't hate on the city that never sleeps as it's busy handling weed problems

[amber adder]

alr

[left dove]

Nah it's good staying checked

[robust trail]

It smells terrible. That's all I remember. lol

[tidal geyser]

Like stort by cheapest or newest then go for parts like am4 but search the words like you nearly know what a pc is

[robust trail]

Meanwhile you go to European big cities and they don't smell like bodily fluids. Mostly

[amber adder]

oh noo not the storage problem..

[robust trail]

Or diabeetus

[south arrow]

This goes on a usb not the ssd* I mean probs could but still to make this easy on ya

[rose stream]

Go to Watertown instead. There is no smell to be bothered with that isn't your own. Lmao.

[amber adder]

I dont got a usb thats a problem

[tidal geyser]

I have lived in Europe my whole life and it's so strange when I see the US

[south arrow]

Walmart should have one for $4

[tidal geyser]

I have also never been to America

Well that I can remember

[kindred halo]

Lemme check

[south arrow]

Or a local somewhere im sure if you plead with family or collect 40 cans or smth

You got this ❤️

[robust trail]

@stark kiln For your PC build I would seriously consider checking around the used parts places. Computer repair shops especially. They almost always have spare parts they will sell for next to nothing. Like a 9900k? Shit you can probably get one for $15

[left dove]

Funnily enough diabetes does actually have a smell

[stark kiln]

It does in like Uptown/Manhattan. Where I live it's nice (if we don't go in 100meters near projects that is)

[robust trail]

9900k is completely fine for a budget gaming PC, especially for esports

[tidal geyser]

I can't 😭

[stark kiln]

9900k for 15$? I can't even dream about that

[kindred halo]

Internal for the PC itself external for the GPU ✨

[tidal geyser]

Also no way in hell anybody is gonna sell a working 9900k for even close to that

[robust trail]

Look harder, email/call computer repair shops

[amber adder]

do I clean this up?

[tidal geyser]

It's the best cpu for all of lga 1151

[south arrow]

Same as anywhere some places are nice some are big, some are full of addicts and drug issues, some hide the drug issues on a part of town, some its the whole town

[left dove]

yes

[amber adder]

alr thx

[stark kiln]

Anyway is the A750 a good gpu

[tidal geyser]

Remember you are reinstalling windows so everything on the pc will be gone, just uninstall down games

[tidal geyser]

Good enough

[amber adder]

.

ok no almost everything I have is way too important

[tidal geyser]

So why did you duck with windows

[stark kiln]

Also can you hold games on external hard drives?

[robust trail]

https://fortcollins.craigslist.org/sop/d/loveland-gigabyte-aorus-master/7863730342.html

[amber adder]

does putting it on a usb work?

[robust trail]

here's a 9900 and motherboard for $100 🙂

[stark kiln]

Don't think my parents trust any sites but Amazon Aliexpress and eBay in terms of PC sadly. Maybe theyll trust it but iek

[tidal geyser]

Lucky

[amber adder]

the fact they trust aliexpress but not craigslist is kinda insane

ik aliexpress is trusted but craigslist?

[tidal geyser]

You still need to reinstall windows aka everything on pc gone

[stark kiln]

Cause we order from Ali and most of times its good

[tidal geyser]

That is why you do not duck with windows

[south arrow]

Craigslist is just people selling stuff of theirs

[amber adder]

how do I get those stuff back..

[stark kiln]

Or it's "easier"

[plush wren]

holy fuck windows is shit

[stark kiln]

?

[south arrow]

I got lots of flux and such of alie express extra Xbox Philips lasers, cases, cables, sata to 24 pin

[robust trail]

I can find a completely fine budget PC on my local craigslist for $310 including RAM

[kindred halo]

Doesn't look like there's any proprietary connections on this.. I think a standard ATX PSU works?

[robust trail]

no nvme but no used availability

[tidal geyser]

Too late now

[amber adder]

I still havent downloaded it

[robust trail]

oh actually lets bump that to 335 for 32GB of DDR4 🙂

[amber adder]

I cancelled both proccesses

[south arrow]

I see a 4 pin anddd hrmm

[kindred halo]

4 pin I assume is for the cpu?

[south arrow]

Another 4 pin and sata power

[kindred halo]

Oh wait yeah you're right

[tidal geyser]

Yes big standard part, great standard 24 pin there

[amber adder]

this is why I should just gget a console instead of handling a pc : )

[south arrow]

Right right

[south arrow]

Idk what this is >_>

[tidal geyser]

Are you not doing this since you taskbar shit is fucked

[south arrow]

And I've opened alottt of consoles

[kindred halo]

Yeah I may have to use my standard power supply to purely power the GPU

[tidal geyser]

The most standard 24 pin

[stark kiln]

But wait do used parts have screws with them mostly? Or how do you get the screws.

[amber adder]

its not that fucked up tbh the issue is because I uninstalled seleen ui

I think

[tidal geyser]

A entire pc ofc does

[stark kiln]

If you get used parts?

[tidal geyser]

Yes you said that, I guess if the stuff is that important and can't move you have to live with it

[tidal geyser]

Never

[south arrow]

Sims what was that board phantom posted do you know?

[tidal geyser]

Well never say never but ultra rare

[amber adder]

yh

[stark kiln]

So how do I get them

[tidal geyser]

Some shitty OEM thing

[south arrow]

Right right hrmm

[tidal geyser]

With tumer on it

[stark kiln]

Cause I suppose the companies don't have a standard bolt on Computers so they're all seperate

[tidal geyser]

Money

[tidal geyser]

What??

[stark kiln]

Screws to set shit in. Are they included from like the motherboard or case???

[tidal geyser]

I think the computer at least custom computer industry is the most standard there is

[tidal geyser]

With a new case you tend to get most do the screws you need

[stark kiln]

I'm sorry I didn't sleep at all so sorry if I send random shit

[stark kiln]

So for example this case has most screws I need?

[tidal geyser]

I slept well

[stark kiln]

Idk my sleep schedule is bad the last few days

[amber adder]

I slept at 8 am and woke up at 5 Pm 😭

[tidal geyser]

Maybe but I would not risk it as I'm not sure with ultra ultra cheap cases

[cloud crystal]

Is it a bad idea to cover up parts of a mobo with vacuum formed carbon fibre (for decoration)?

[tidal geyser]

Yes

[cloud crystal]

Like would it affect cooling if it coves a heat sink, though obviously not like fully covered

[amber adder]

show us what spots

[tidal geyser]

Again yes

Also there are more then just the VRMs that make heat on the board

[amber adder]

You can always get like a build below:
CPU - 5 3500X
GPU - RX 6600
MB - MSI B550M PRO
RAM- Pinnacle 32gb ram
Storage - Kingston NV3 1TB
PSU - MSI MAG A550BN
case - SAMA ARGB Q5 micro atx btw
These parts should be all used or if u c an find similar pats that would be good the build will be about 500 new and maybe even cheaper dk about the cpu tho

[cloud crystal]

Nothing has been planned yet but probably something like the area around the cmos battery and below the first pcie (so essentially bottom half)

[tidal geyser]

3500x xd

[cloud crystal]

Damn I figured, oh well

[amber adder]

5 3600?

[tidal geyser]

Yes sat good nuf

[iron glen]

sim can you share your wisdom, my monitors aren't getting detected

[tidal geyser]

Sleepy kitty

[tidal geyser]

Plug em in

[iron glen]

they are, they're power cables are also plugged in

[south arrow]

Or try a new slot or cable* in both the monitor and gpu of one doesn't take

[amber adder]

just uhh turn on ur monitors 👍

[tidal geyser]

Did they suddenly stop working one day

[amber adder]

ez fix

[tidal geyser]

Are you sure the pc works

[iron glen]

no they've always been like this

[cloud crystal]

have you tried turning it on and off again

[iron glen]

no but i did hit it with an axe

[amber adder]

the whole bottom half and can u show me like color where ur gonna put it?

[south arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/printer-middle-finger-gif-16760229516635319829

[tidal geyser]

Is it an intermittent issue

[south arrow]

Feels fam lol

[iron glen]

im gona look up what intermittent means wait

[south arrow]

Like sometimes, not all the time but happens

Occasionally if one would

[iron glen]

kind of ig

[tidal geyser]

I dono bad cable

If not it's high emi

[cloud crystal]

Essentially that. Probably also other parts without a heat sink or something blocking it too

[tidal geyser]

Oe just shitty monitor

[tidal geyser]

Chipset and nvme?

[cloud crystal]

Hit it harder? Maybe it’ll learn.

[amber adder]

ur probably not gonna be doing that

[iron glen]

sometimes both get detected sometimes only one gets detected sometimes i do a little voodoo magic and have to turn one off and on later when the rest of the devices get powered

[cloud crystal]

Fair

[iron glen]

rn i have 3 that aren't getting detected

[south arrow]

Slot or cable id guess then yeah

[amber adder]

in arabic we call it 7arakat barakat jsut move the stuff around ig

[south arrow]

Usuall culprits

[amber adder]

like just keep moving the cables or monitors till they get deteced

[iron glen]

fuck
i don't have more display port or hdmi cables

[amber adder]

and keep them in that posoiton

[south arrow]

No ps3 or Xbox ones?

Can snag for use as needed*?

[tidal geyser]

Damit I think I'm gonna have to bike brought the rain

[south arrow]

All good if not* just reminding some consoles like switch and stoof have an hdmi

[iron glen]

nope, actually maybe the tv has some i can steal

[south arrow]

If for but a moment to test

[tidal geyser]

Or I can camp out here for a few hrs

O well new phone good battery

[amber adder]

try using them and also like moving the monitors like rotating them and having them in a specific position

[iron glen]

tried it alr, didn't work

[amber adder]

maybe didnt get that position or just wotn work

[amber adder]

just 2 umbrellas on ur bike

like tape them heh

[tidal geyser]

Ever heard of air resistance?

[iron glen]

the only hdmi monitor i have rn is hdmi on the pc end and one of those big chonky display cables with screws on the monitor end

[amber adder]

I've done that.. and it works for me

[south arrow]

Whatever works until you can get another to try usually no signal is either the cable,port, or update if using a laptop but its not exactly no signal itll just go black

And you'll see the no signal go away but that's another story

[tidal geyser]

At 40km/h I so not think it works too well

[iron glen]

says uhh
"digital stromspartmodus" its swedish i think, no idea what it means

[south arrow]

Speddd

[amber adder]

e bike? cuz i dont think u can achieve that speed only when u go downhill''

[south arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/jarlinson-pantano-cycling-umbrella-hot-one-hand-gif-17068085

I believe in youuuu

[tidal geyser]

Well yes that is what I have to do

[south arrow]

Dont get sick again though

[tidal geyser]

I do not have a umbrella anyways

[tidal geyser]

There is this too

[amber adder]

hmm..

[iron glen]

personally i'd just book it

[tidal geyser]

Would be boring spending a big chunk of summer sick

[amber adder]

wiat whats ur problem with the rain just use ur brakes down hill and try to be at the least speed u can

[tidal geyser]

I have my headphones and a couch go lay on so eh

[tidal geyser]

I still have a distance to go

[iron glen]

fair

[tidal geyser]

Also going faster absorbers more rain onto your clothing

[plush wren]

hi team

[iron glen]

heyo

[plush wren]

is there a way to access my drives from another pc but i cant really be bothered taking it out

idk goofy question

[iron glen]

🐀

[amber adder]

man I remmber when I was like 10 and was riding my bike in the rain trying to act cool then just crash and slip because of the rain

[plush wren]

thing is im in a bootloop

https://tenor.com/view/faint-omg-pass-out-fall-elmo-gif-8540902822064990640

[south arrow]

Hrmmm

[cloud crystal]

Getting a new pc and giving away my old one. Anything I should make sure before wiping my old pc?

[plush wren]

i just need to get my backup files from my other drive Lmao

then ill install windows on the other drive and be good to go

[amber adder]

any important stuff on ur old pc NEEDs to deleted and the important stuff moved to the new pc so keep the old one tillu move the stuff and the old one just try packaging it up like a prebuilt package if its going in an airplane or something and make sure to dust it out

not rlly NEEDS but i recommend it if u dont got important stuff

[south arrow]

Probs going to have to take it out if stuck in a boot loop and plug it into another pc unfortunately, or if you can get like a Linux usb stick and boot to it myte be able to grab the files needed etc but that's kinda tedious if you dint play with Linux distros

[plush wren]

yeah i was thinking about this lowkey

[south arrow]

Anyone else feel free i did just wake up

[plush wren]

but the files r too big for the usb

[cloud crystal]

What’s a quick way to transfer games from one drive to another? I’ve got a NAS set up if that helps

[left dove]

Drag root folder to new drive

[tidal geyser]

I just play off my Nas

[left dove]

Ew what

[tidal geyser]

Nothing wrong with that

[cloud crystal]

Honestly that’s fair

[tidal geyser]

Well I have

[lapis talon]

I have LT520 and the two fans are 4 pins each based off of the connectors I guess. But the only way to connect two of those fans is by using this splitter

[south arrow]

For some titles probs no stuttering especially single player older games

[tidal geyser]

I got 3TB of nvme storage in my pc so no point

[lapis talon]

These are 3 pin and 4 pin so what do I do

[tidal geyser]

The one that came with it yes

[south arrow]

This is an extension

[lapis talon]

Idk what to connect where

[tidal geyser]

Plug em into the fans

[tidal geyser]

Fan in plug

[lapis talon]

But 3 pin

[tidal geyser]

The 3rd pin is for the tachometer

Aka speed

[lapis talon]

What that do

[tidal geyser]

Aka speed

[lapis talon]

Oh

Then where does pump header go

[south arrow]

Cpu header*

[tidal geyser]

Pump header on board

Or cpu

[lapis talon]

Uhhhhhhh

[south arrow]

Usually in top right* or pump

[tidal geyser]

RTFM

[plush wren]

[south arrow]

Depends how they labeled it lol motherboard manual is good. Sims also right life has many doors

[lapis talon]

White one is system fan header

What do I use this for

[tidal geyser]

Lower noise from fans probs, just rtfm

[lapis talon]

What's rtfm 💀

[south arrow]

Manual is gonna know it all easiest each model varies

Read the fooking manual=rtfm

[lapis talon]

Manual confused me even more

[south arrow]

Thats fair whatever is just a line cable is probs that one

[south arrow]

Aio only come with 2 or 3 extra cables so shouldn't be to bad you've identified the 3 to 4 pin

[tidal geyser]

Read manual

[south arrow]

So its a low speed adapter if you want it

[tidal geyser]

Knew it

[south arrow]

Or just plug it in as shown

[lapis talon]

Uhhh okay basically I connect both the fans to the 3 pin + 4 pin splitter

[south arrow]

Just 3 pin rgb and 4 pin fan control

[lapis talon]

Ok

[south arrow]

If you dont want extensions etc as shown

And it seems you myte have a dangle rgb header (for potential daisy chaining should you choose) lol but that's ok

[lapis talon]

Ohh yes I do alright I get it now

Tysm y'all

[timber pike]

I've been doing nothing here lol

[white marsh]

Hey guys so my pc case has a little motherboard on its back to conect the fans and stuff but theres also a sata conector

Do i conect it to the power supply?

[clear canyon]

Its not a motherboard, its called a fan hub

[gentle kestrel]

yeah the fan hub needs power from the psu for the fans

[clear canyon]

Most likely a sata power cable

[white marsh]

Yes

[white marsh]

Oh ok

Ty

[clear canyon]

It should look something like this

[clear canyon]

Looks like it

[clear canyon]

Phone at phone store

[lapis talon]

Done

Only took 2+ hours to install an AIO

[royal scaffold]

What I have figured out while researching for peripherals:
If you don't have money - No problem with using cheap-ass components.
If you increase the budget by 5 times - ||You won't get anything good for that price.||
If you increase the budget by 50 times - ||You can expect some entry-level stuff.||

[royal scaffold]

Change my mind.

[hoary tree]

The z flip 7 looked so pretty in person

[south arrow]

I hear they're kinda neat

[worn tinsel]

who's up for some jank, i have a full height network card, i do not have the half height bracket for it and i want to put it into my "server", do i just remove the bracket and yolo it or do i wait haha

[hoary tree]

They absolutely are

The coral red looks super pretty

Photos do not do it justice

[royal scaffold]

I don't see something red.

You mean the one folded?

[cold skiff]

I like to think of it as a niece or nephew board

[hoary tree]

I didn't take any photos of the z flip 7's back other than this one 😭

I also absolutely love the watch 8 classic

[south arrow]

Not sure tbh im sure somone will come along eventually

[hoary tree]

I pre-ordered it as soon as pre orders opened

[royal scaffold]

Any idea on why is there no Samsung branding on any of 'em?
Does Samsung not brand their stuff on expensive lineups?

[hoary tree]

Its on the hinge

[south arrow]

Gotta let us know how you dig it as time goes and how the hinge holds up and front screen etc. Ive been curious

[royal scaffold]

Well there's no branding on the phone on the right as well.

Apart from Designed by Samsung.

[proper gull]

It's also on the hinge

[south arrow]

Lol and bottom with the imei usually*

Unless replaced*

[hoary tree]

The branding is on the hinge

[royal scaffold]

The right one is not a fold, is it?

[royal scaffold]

Oh damn

[south arrow]

The s25 edge does look pretty slick especially for those wanting a more comfort grip

[hoary tree]

The edge is sleek

[iron glen]

just kicked my pc by accident 😀

luckily its fine

[south arrow]

"Take that"

Not post at 9000hz psh

The nerveee

[royal scaffold]

My friend just picks it up and smashes it to the ground when it does not work.

Not sure how is that even working.

[hoary tree]

I was gonna get the Galaxy Watch ultra until I saw the 8 classic

[iron glen]

i had a canyon sportswatch until my friend threw rocks at it for some reason

[plush wren]

all the hate on windows 11 is justified

[somber mason]

Windows 11 SUCKS

Windows should not be the most popular os

[true stirrup]

It sucks as much as win 10

[clear canyon]

Why?

[somber mason]

One example that I've experienced, windows has no way to automatically sync and update laptops

[steel umbra]

win 11 slightly more annoying + has from personal experience more bugs

[plush wren]

The media creation tool is non functional 😭😭

[clear canyon]

Wdym sync, sync what

[steel umbra]

like discord turning into a scratch ticket

[somber mason]

Account sync

[clear canyon]

Iv never had that issue

[somber mason]

It's not a consumer thing

[clear canyon]

Ik

You're talking about applying policy's

[somber mason]

Every laptop in at least my public school district needs to be manually synced and updated after every school year. Purely because windows stops working if it sits too long

Costing prolly tens of thousands of man hours per district

Just cuz windows gets angry if you don't use it often enough and glitches out

And not even applying policies

[true stirrup]

I've had issues on win 10 and I have issues on win 11
The only worse issue on win 11 for at least me has been that win updates break the OS more frequently than it happened on win 10 for me

But sfc and diskpart mostly fix it afterwards
Otherwise a restore point works fine

[frigid topaz]

I just found my first ever phone (iPhone 5s) shame I forgot my Icloud, could've been a cool little device

[true stirrup]

I still have my iPhone 3

[frigid topaz]

Ooooo

[thorny nexus]

You can reset it, older iPhones don’t have iCloud lock

[robust trail]

there are ways to recover, it can be a pain in the ass but it is recoverable

[frigid topaz]

You think there's still mods for sale for the iPhone 5s?

Like screens and body

[azure topaz]

well duh

probably

[thorny nexus]

Haiii floppa

[frigid topaz]

Anyone remember the holographic screens?

[abstract wigeon]

do we reckon an 850w will last another couple gpu generations? only got a 650 at the moment i need to upgrade for my next gpu

[frigid topaz]

How?

[thorny nexus]

Download iTunes on computer, turn phone onto dfu mode, reset button

[frigid topaz]

Downloading a program rn, hopefully it works

[frigid topaz]

Oh okay okayy

[thorny nexus]

99% of those 3rd party apps do nothing

[robust trail]

it depends what tier of video cards you're buying. Moonshot/flex video cards will probably continue to grow in power requirements. Mainstream/Enthusiast tier cards will probably stay within the range they're in now

850 is a good place to be.

[thorny nexus]

Hopefully we start chasing efficiency for a while, gpus are powerful enough

[robust trail]

efficiency grows but also power draw does. Setting power targets really helps. 5090s don't need to draw 1kW to run Call of Duty

nor do folks need 480 FPS at 4K

[hoary tree]

Z fold 7 and s22 ultra

[abstract wigeon]

ive always gone for pretty midrange cards so im hopinh 850w should be fine yeah

[thorny nexus]

Should be

[robust trail]

midrange cards are where it is at for almost everyone

[hoary tree]

:(

[abstract wigeon]

gone from an 800 series card i forgot, to a 1060, now a 3070 and when the prices drop hopefully either a 9070xt or 5070ti

[thorny nexus]

My 850w power supply is so overkill for my 5600x and 6750xt that my power can cut for 5 seconds and my pc keeps running at full tilt

Thanks capacitors

[abstract wigeon]

tbh im leaning towards amd for the better linux support

[abstract wigeon]

integrated ups

[robust trail]

Linux support on AMD and NVIDIA are essentially the same, AMD having open drivers.

NVIDIA having partly open drivers

[south arrow]

Zluda wishes it was cuda

😂

[robust trail]

that "fact" is old and out of date

[thorny nexus]

Msi was thinking that when they put that hog ass capacitor in there

[south arrow]

Both are good though

[abstract wigeon]

hm ill look into it some more then

honestly ill probably end up getting whatevers cheaper out of the two

[robust trail]

capacitor overload

[abstract wigeon]

although not for a while as they are both a fair bit past theyre msrp at the moment

[thorny nexus]

I’m not upgrading for a hot minute

I have random shit to buy first

[robust trail]

installing nvidia drivers on linux via apt or the distro packages is simple. Running the CUDA toolkit and drivers is just as easy

[true stirrup]

I just use a random screwdriver from the rack usually lol

[stark kiln]

Hello

[rancid solstice]

If they release a transparent stubby i’ll buy that

[cloud sparrow]

Just got some new fans

[inner pendant]

Hi, so I was searching for a new SSD and found the MP44L on Amazon but on its page it shows like 7-8 different versions of it aside from capacity: Swift, Superb, Pro, Movement, Modern, Classic and Agile (also Swift-2230 but I suppose this is not a relevant one). Is there any difference between those versions?

[frail topaz]

just ordered a lianli o11 vision compact, new fans, cable extensions, tube clips, argb hub, fan hub, new mousepad, 30gr thermal paste, and a new watch for $370 cant wait for them to get delivered

[tulip sparrow]

https://www.androidauthority.com/google-combine-chrome-os-android-3577035/

[dreamy aspen]

no difference allat

if it only had 5000mah... damn, 10/10 phone

but even with 4400mah that's 9/10

[hazy nexus]

will this be good for 4 32gb 6000mhz sticks?

[slim saffron]

1070ti still good enough for casual games at 1080p?

[ocean axle]

dont run quad dimm on am5 if you can help it, use 2x48GB instead of thats good enough

[azure topaz]

yeah

[ocean axle]

also, the x900 CPUs are dual 6c CCD, so keep that in mind

[azure topaz]

what do you need 128gb and 12c for?

this is like the least optimal am5 system for the most money

[true stirrup]

That's weird
It should be just MP44L

[hazy nexus]

minecraft

[azure topaz]

yeah im clicking out

[ocean axle]

you need neither of those things for MC

[azure topaz]

enjoy the computer

[gentle kestrel]

4 dimm 3600 coming your way

[hazy nexus]

i have mods that nead at least 80gb to turn on

[ocean axle]

no you dont

[inner pendant]

Turns out those are names of different versions. MP44L is Swift and like MP44Q have other names.

[steel umbra]

has bequiet fixed their issue with these fans at low rpm?

[ocean axle]

and RAM aside, MC isn't going to make effective use of a 12c CPU

[steel umbra]

their marketing features misleading minimum rpm

[ocean axle]

you would be better served by an 8c x3d part instead

[steel umbra]

so, did they fix their marketing or fix the fans yet?

[ripe field]

kinda weird to see it not heavily jacked up, thats like 50 dollars more than msrp

[dreamy aspen]

yes

avoid ue5 aaa slops and you are fine. they can even eat 20gb of vram, and if it keeps going it'll eat 4090's vram

[raven drum]

As someone who was really watching and following the PC industry a few years ago and now fell out of it I am looking for some recommendations. I currently run a system with a 2070 super and a i5 10th gen (locked with integrated graphics). I am looking to upgrade to something that is going to be more powerful and faster in the next few years as I am about to go to college for video editing and film production. I plan to game and also do 3d modeling on the side as well. I know in every scenario I must upgrade my mobo to upgrade my cpu and then ram as well because of the mobo upgrade. So With all of that what is the best course of action, honestly I am kind of not a fan of what nvidia has been doing these days and want to stay away from team green if possible but if prices are better for performance on the used market I will go for them.

[slim saffron]

should i upgrade from an rx 580 to a 1070 ti

[azure topaz]

no

[slim saffron]

only like 100$

[azure topaz]

thats not even a good deal

save up for a 2070 or 2070 super or something

[upper pier]

Floppa i need help

[slim saffron]

brand new

[azure topaz]

theres no such thing

[gentle kestrel]

you’re going from a card with no driver support to a card with no driver support

[slim saffron]

😃

[azure topaz]

1070tis were out of production like fucking 6 years ago

[gentle kestrel]

you can get a 2070 super off ebay for like 150 now

[ebon prawn]

holy crap lol

[slim saffron]

lmfao yeah

[azure topaz]

brand new my fuckin tit bro

[azure topaz]

fr

optimal tbh

[azure topaz]

am confusion

[ebon prawn]

150w 38% load

[shy saffron]

Would this be compatible with Msi B650 Gaming plus wifi specifically?

[azure topaz]

why

[gentle kestrel]

just get a better bin then i did, +85mhz crashes the thing

[azure topaz]

what about it

[slim saffron]

cheapest 2060 super here is 200$

[true stirrup]

Sorry to tell you but Nvidia is the better option for you because you are going to be video editing and 3D modeling

[azure topaz]

yes, its a button, any button is compatible with any board long as its 2 pins

[ebon prawn]

pbo is wild lol thats a lotta powa

[gentle kestrel]

it’s compatible with every atx motherboard on earth

[raven drum]

I was thinking that would be the answer

[shy saffron]

Lovely. Was about to order since kept the rig at a corner of the desk - cant reach power button without going around

[azure topaz]

what did you expect out of an overclcoked 16 core tbh

[upper pier]

i bought a new motherboard and i9 10900f because last time u suggested i upgrade my cpu for my stutters but i got a cooler off marketplace and he gave me the wrong mounts idrk what to do

[ebon prawn]

not them to just let it rip like that

[azure topaz]

bro

[raven drum]

What are thoughts on ryzen vs intel these days with that stuff. I know before intel was seen as better in the 12 gen I believe but I am not sure these days

[azure topaz]

you let it rip like that

if you turned pbo on and messed with the settings this is the cause of your own actions

[ebon prawn]

nah but like intels pbo sucks

[azure topaz]

intel doesnt have pbo that is why

[ebon prawn]

their version 🤦‍♂️

[gentle kestrel]

isn’t turbo boost still rated

pbo is just overclocking

[slim saffron]

1660 super or 1070ti?

[azure topaz]

1070ti

[raven drum]

bro 😭

[gentle kestrel]

1660 has driver support

[slim saffron]

dawg 😢

[azure topaz]

bro is hardly getting an upgrade just save up more man

[slim saffron]

it really doesnt matter i only play esport shooters on my 2nd rig

[raven drum]

fr

[azure topaz]

theres no reason to buy a 20 year old video card when you can get a 16 year old video card for like 20$ more

[slim saffron]

its like for my 2nd rig

[true stirrup]

For gaming AMD is far better at the moment
For productivity intel still wins

[azure topaz]

but still

[slim saffron]

for my other place

onna tight budget mane cant lie

[azure topaz]

does the fact that its the second rig excuse value

[shy saffron]

Do irequire a heads up before installing the same?
Shouldn't be rocket science identifying the power cable on the motherboard I guess

[gentle kestrel]

motherboard manual will have a fpanel diagram

[azure topaz]

i understand that but rn its functional and plays games, you have 100$ rn and can definitely save up more, rn its pointless

[ocean axle]

for productivity, intel maybe wins

[gentle kestrel]

you can follow that and it’ll slide in like any other front panel cables do

[raven drum]

any recommendations? new or used I am kind of just looking for a good place to start researching and configuring a build and finding a price point

[true stirrup]

Depends on budget

[slim saffron]

its not that i cant save up its just i dont wanna spend any more money on it lol

[raven drum]

yeah for me the 5% difference isn’t that big of a deal

[gentle kestrel]

you'd be better off picking the price point first

[azure topaz]

i mean thats fair but id still get something more modern

2060 2060s whatever

[slim saffron]

2000 series?

[azure topaz]

thats still extremely cheap

probably under 150$ often especially locally

[raven drum]

let’s say like $800-900, maybe even less as I still have good power supply, storage, case

[slim saffron]

yeah found a 2060 super for like 120

[raven drum]

good call

[azure topaz]

very good

[raven drum]

I am really open to price points as I will just save as much as needed to buy it if it is worth it

[true stirrup]

Put what you already have into PCPP and send the link
And mark as already purchased

[raven drum]

aight will do

[raven drum]

you want my whole build or just stuff that will be carried over to the new one?

[slim saffron]

are founders edition cards good or meh

[true stirrup]

Carried over

[gentle kestrel]

i make no claims to the quality of this board but you could do something like this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PVg774

[kindred halo]

I have had to downgrade even more so I wouldn't have to use a mostly proprietary OEM PC

[plush wren]

Windows 10 is so Ugly

[kindred halo]

Previous plan was to use an Elitedesk with an 8700, then I realised it had proprietary power connectors

[raven drum]

rage bait

[kindred halo]

Now, my best option is a custom built office PC with an i3 9100

[plush wren]

Not ragebait

Get me back to win11 asap

[kindred halo]

Atleast the case looks decent

[raven drum]

I am going to throw my ram in there just in case but I do realize I will probably have to upgrade to ddr5

[shy saffron]

so basically top row?

[gentle kestrel]

yeah

the only ones you gotta an eye on the is the led polarity

[shy saffron]

should be an easy switch - bigger task being routing the cable from the pc to beside the desk

[gentle kestrel]

see how one is positive and one is negative

[shy saffron]

yup - basic physics and chemistry

[gentle kestrel]

[median lagoon]

Fellas, my Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB runs like a kettle, but it never throttles (at least not that I notice)

Is this normal for them? I have 2 and they both run the same

[shy saffron]

thanks - will be a boon not needing to bend over beside the desk to turn on the PC everytime lol

[raven drum]

I think this is everything, and I can get rid of ram if you'd like
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/G6jV9C

[shy saffron]

heatsink attached? my 980 pro 1 tb never would have reached those temps

[mint ember]

I just reset my pc, chose to delete all files and to download windows from the device (not cloud). Now when I boot up my pc into the windows setup it keeps freezing. I can still see my mouse move but can’t do anything. I had no freezing problems before, anyone know why this might be happening?

[median lagoon]

They don't come with heatsinks, currently looking into getting 3rd party ones

[raven drum]

I am not agaisnt getting a new case but if I don't need one then thats good too

[gentle kestrel]

i would def consider a new case for airflow reasons

[shy saffron]

ah yes. i have the motherboard heatsink on the samsung 980 pro
The xpg one came witha heatsink

[raven drum]

Yeah I have seen that too

[shy saffron]

Here i was considering going ITX only to later realize i can throw the PC in a corner and be seated far with a power button coming out of the rig

[gentle kestrel]

i'd probably get a heatsink

this is just under my motherboard one

[shy saffron]

well 990 pro and not 980 pro

[tidal geyser]

use hwinfo also update the firmware

[tidal geyser]

that can do 60c without even slowing down

[gentle kestrel]

well theirs is hitting 104c

[chilly escarp]

how is this thermal paste placement and fan? my desktop has been burning hot for a long time, finally decided to take it apart...

bought from refurbisher

[gentle kestrel]

that thermal paste is like 10 years past it's useful point

it's all died up

[chilly escarp]

It's not all dry, got something on my finger

[upper pier]

Would this piece mount the cooler?

[gentle kestrel]

the mounting hardware is cooler specific

[chilly escarp]

would you recommend this?

[gentle kestrel]

it would work fine

those micro pcs have a 35w max powerdraw at the cpu

[chilly escarp]

why buy new, if you can fix it right

[upper pier]

Idk what to do the guy gave me the wrong mounting hardware yesterday and idk if this other one will even work either

[gentle kestrel]

if you really want an aio you can get a thermalright one new for like $50 off amazon

[median lagoon]

Yeah, I also don't have much airflow on the bottom of my case, never needed it until I put an SSD there, so I guess that's a contributing factor too

[upper pier]

I lowkey just need a cooler to test my $500 purchases 😭

[gentle kestrel]

i mean if you're just testing rn

just hold the cooler down

[shy saffron]

well that is some kind of difference

[upper pier]

I can’t find these anywhere either

I just need those little brackets bruh

[raven drum]

@true stirrup just in case you didn't see me post it. I am probably going to get a new case as well

[chilly escarp]

I have no idea what thermal paste to buy

in tech store here in denmark

these are my options https://www.proshop.dk/?s=Thermal+paste

[random junco]

tape

[median lagoon]

Yeah my S70 also runs cool in comparison, though it sits under a thick motherboard heatsink so it better

[gentle kestrel]

just get whatever’s cheapest it will barely make a difference

[fallen sky]

Yippee my desk comes TOMORROW

and now my whole setup won’t be on the floor

[upper pier]

What even are these mounts ??

[shy saffron]

hold up - your s70 is a degree or two more now that i see

im on the stock cooling that comes with the s70

just an observation

[fallen sky]

that is a Thermalright bridge.

[chilly escarp]

I will get this one for $6

Arctic MX-6 - thermal paste - 8 g - Kølepasta

[gentle kestrel]

that will work

[median lagoon]

Yeah I have it as my system drive, that's probably why

[azure topaz]

buy a NEW cooler bro theyre 30$

why did you buy a FBM cooler n the first place theres no way you saved enough money to justify that over the options that are new

[shy saffron]

ah makes sense - my samsung is the system drive and s70 is more of a game library drive

[kindred halo]

About to be running games on an I3 9100 & UHD 630 most probably </3

[azure topaz]

fire

[kindred halo]

Being limited by someone's ignorance towards tech is debilitating

[shy saffron]

what are some good accessories to get for the desk

[gentle kestrel]

balatro build

[fallen sky]

I have the best financial decisions in the world guys. I just bought a $700 camera lens and a $400 camera body

[median lagoon]

Get Duronaut if it's available, though it can be a bit hard to apply, so warm it up beforehand and apply slowly as they show in the vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdnorIhAL6c

[raven drum]

AMD Ryzen 7 7700X vs AMD Ryzen 5 9600X is the increased base clock and CPU mark worth it or is the newest gen ryzen 5 better in the long run and power efficiency. the 5 seems to also have better single thread performance

[fallen sky]

Fuh I just do the cake icing method

[shy saffron]

whichever is cheaper honestly

[chilly escarp]

grizzly good and beginner friendly?

[gentle kestrel]

grizzly has a shorter life

[median lagoon]

Btw was repasting 12700K for the first time in 3.5 years, neat to see how Noctuas thermal paste pumped out

[gentle kestrel]

i’d just get the artic over chasing 2c for the other tube

[median lagoon]

Duronaut is supposed to last long (it's in the name)

[kindred halo]

It might be able to run war thunder

[chilly escarp]

is 8g overkill?

[azure topaz]

this happened when you first screwed the cooler down

[shy saffron]

me who got the noctua dth 1 thermal paste due to lack of availability

[gentle kestrel]

it’s a lot of paste

you’ll have the tube awhile

[raven drum]

there is a lot more price to performance in the 5

[stark kiln]

Should I get 32gb of ram in a 420$ build?

[gentle kestrel]

i have like 15g of noctua paste because it came in a bundle with my fans

[stark kiln]

One on left looks pissed off

[gentle kestrel]

so i just use that on everything i dont ptm

[abstract wigeon]

what platform?

[stark kiln]

This mobo ignore rest

[abstract wigeon]

yeah if you can afford it go for 32gb

[chilly escarp]

ooo neat, this comes with alcohol

[abstract wigeon]

oh well i would spec everything else out first

if more ram means worse gpu then dont

[random gyro]

for some reason my cpu goes under full load when loading html games?

[azure topaz]

BEWARE

the solution they use in those is so overpowering and will linger for a very long time

its not a pleasant smell

[stark kiln]

Nah the a750 for that cheap is a no brainer. Most tests show it's like a 3060 for prices way lower

If I convince all of my parts I come up to like 420$~ which is great and it it runs CS2 I'm happy

[abstract wigeon]

you said ignore rest i thought you meant ignore gpu

[median lagoon]

Thought so too at first, but just don't see how it could have happened to leave a pattern like this, this lines up with where the die is underneath the IHS so looks more like a pump-out

[stark kiln]

I meant like ignore other specs just the base

[azure topaz]

like pinesole and IPA

for hours

[abstract wigeon]

i would get the 32 gigs but 16 will be fine for cs2

[chilly escarp]

the thermal or alcohol? is it that bad?

[random junco]

love to see pixel os

[stark kiln]

I can search for a better a550 base or stay with my current one

[azure topaz]

the alcohol

i just wouldnt use them idk the smell was not good

[stark kiln]

I'm on Motorola edge 2024 I'm not on pixel lol

[chilly escarp]

how else should I get the old paste off?

[stark kiln]

Can you drink the alcohol

[azure topaz]

a dry paper towel, a paper towel with just ipa

[random junco]

what os

i didnt say u had a pixel phone

[stark kiln]

Also is this a good Psu

[stark kiln]

Android 14 iirc

[abstract wigeon]

no

80 plus white yikes

[azure topaz]

theyre kinda convex and push down more from the center so it would make a little sense for it to be in this triangle pattern depending on how you scrwed it down and how the cooler is shape but

[stark kiln]

Can you suggest me good ones for simmilar price (like 45$?(

[azure topaz]

im not entirely sure

i wanna study that stuff more seems fun

[chilly escarp]

I also consider getting an ifixit kit while getting thermal paste

[azure topaz]

probably not needed but would be fire

[chilly escarp]

I mean, I also have a Thinkpad laptop

would be useful to have tools for such cases

[stark kiln]

This? It's 80+ bronze

[abstract wigeon]

have you ever heard of aresgame before

[stark kiln]

Uh not really

But I havent heard of any other brands that pop up

[abstract wigeon]

i don’t think anyone has

[azure topaz]

bomb

theyre both bombs

[zinc widget]

Should I go 1800 on a C5 or 2k on a G4?

[azure topaz]

please for the love of god spend 10-15$ more on your psu and get something at least worth installing into your system

[abstract wigeon]

you’re going to need to spend more than 40 on a good psu

[stark kiln]

Rest Tbf also look like they'll explode. Like what's apexia

[azure topaz]

a bomb

[stark kiln]

Ik hence my budget for a good Psu is 45

[azure topaz]

what

[abstract wigeon]

up the budget

[stark kiln]

See? If I need a bomb I'll get KSAS

[random junco]

guys get this!

[kindred halo]

Could've easily gotten an R5 2600/32GB/1070 build for its price, but nope

[zinc widget]

Someone who knows more about TVs please answer

[azure topaz]

yeah bro 5$ is gonna make all the difference

[stark kiln]

Then I'll have to lower. Usher in something elze

[abstract wigeon]

then do that

[stark kiln]

💣💥

[kindred halo]

I HAVE to get a full PC instead

[azure topaz]

why

[abstract wigeon]

better a bad gpu that works than a good one that explodes after a day

[kindred halo]

Testing parts apparently doesn't exist anymore

[stark kiln]

Like what? Maybe the CPU to like a R5 2600 instead of the R5 3600

[kindred halo]

Got told to just look for already built PCs

[abstract wigeon]

i would just wait until you have more money

very tight here

[azure topaz]

imo its your money do whatever you want

[zinc widget]

lol I had to get a 700w SilverStone for my homelab because I refuse to get no name brand PsUs and it was one of the cheapest SFX gold/platinum psus rn.

[stark kiln]

Budget is strictly 400$ man I'm sorry

[kindred halo]

Apparently not

[azure topaz]

bro im sorry for you because im not going to tell you to buy a bomb

[abstract wigeon]

get a cheaper gpu?

[azure topaz]

do whatever you want but if your computer doesnt work shortly after or similar

[stark kiln]

Wait does Corsair have good PSUs

[azure topaz]

this is entirely on you

consider a used EVGA psu like a g2 or g3

[stark kiln]

My original GPU budget was 200$ I cranked it down to 150 I'm not going lower

[azure topaz]

bro go ask someone for 15$ so you can get a decent psu 😭

[abstract wigeon]

not for you budget

[azure topaz]

id get it if we were asking you to spend 100$ more but bro its 15-20$

[abstract wigeon]

you can’t compromise on your psu

i would get a cheaper cpu/gpu

[azure topaz]

if its your parents that have a problem with it, explain to them that the power supply is the most important part and it could kill your system if you cheap out on it too much

a good power supply will genuinely last 10 years, so even 100$ for one doesnt end up being that much

[stark kiln]

If I can crank up this by 10$ more is this a good pau

It has 80+ gold which ig is better?

[azure topaz]

GX2 is C tier, this works

i have to go help a real person at work now so

[stark kiln]

This one's 55. If I make something 10$ less (like take a 1$ Aliexpress cooler as .y cpu won't really heat up) it'll fit in my budget.

[azure topaz]

buy that and be happy

[stark kiln]

So I guess I'll be getting that

[abstract wigeon]

known brand and its gold is a good sign but i cant speak for the exact psu

[kindred halo]

A decent power supply is like 45 dollars

[stark kiln]

Ty

[shell axle]

Hey any recommendation for external batter packs things? I would go for Anker but I think there been recalls or something right?

[kindred halo]

MAG A550BN, 650W Version is like 50-60

750W is 65-75

[stark kiln]

I got a question. Can a external hard drive store games?

[abstract wigeon]

you don’t want it to

[stark kiln]

I heard EVGA has good PSUs but they're like 100$

[stark kiln]

Can't be that bad

[kindred halo]

What wattage do you need

[stark kiln]

And besides i only got 212gb of storage anyway 😭

[abstract wigeon]

hard drives cost literally nothing

[stark kiln]

Like 550? Maybe 600. Here's my specs (ignore the PSU

[stark kiln]

That a750 will take up loads of power imo so I want like 550w

225w

[abstract wigeon]

youre buying psu second hand?

[raven scroll]

Non mobular

[kindred halo]

I'd say.. 550W is more than enough, but a 650W would do better if you upgrade in the future

The minimum I can recommend is the MSI MAG A550BN, it's a ~$45-55 power supply

[stark kiln]

No I'll get the Thermal take one I sent

[stark kiln]

Wdym

[raven scroll]

It’s non modular

[stark kiln]

What's that

[raven scroll]

The cables are pre attached

[azure topaz]

your entire system is below 400w

[raven scroll]

Which means messy cables

[stark kiln]

IDC about that I won't be able to do management anyway

[azure topaz]

the GX2 600W will be more than enough

[raven scroll]

Fair

[stark kiln]

If it works I don't touch it

[azure topaz]

B550BN, GX2 600W

[clear canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/bingus-floppa-big-floppa-flopbing-gif-23433653

[stark kiln]

I'll get the GX2 600w one for 55$. It seems a bit overkill but If I wanna overclock it'll do

[azure topaz]

counterpoint, no reason for apple to have to make more than 1 line of high end mobile arm cpu to put in the ipads vs the macs

[azure topaz]

saves them money overall

[clear canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/getting-jiggy-with-it-cat-gif-27278316

[azure topaz]

exactly

that was too slow, m series is plenty fast

[stark kiln]

Guys. I have another question, is a R5 3600 + Arc a750 a good combo

[azure topaz]

not really

[clear canyon]

Not really

[azure topaz]

does 3000 series support rebar @tidal geyser i dont remember

i dont am4

[shell axle]

This is the old convential wisdom

[clear canyon]

Yeah

[azure topaz]

not as bad as it could be

[stark kiln]

If it runs theese games if it'll do

Asseto corsa
FIFA starting from like FIFA 20
Ghost of thusima
CS2
MSFS 2020 even at low 720p lol

Maybe few more but these are the main lnes

[raven scroll]

Peak naming

[azure topaz]

fire psu bro

[shell axle]

External SSDs can usally run games off of usb c ports if the cable and such are up to spec

[stark kiln]

I found a working used A750 for 150$ and 64 for R5 3600

[high dove]

hey can someone help me with my new ram

[azure topaz]

5700x3d is too expensive to justify on am4 imo

[raven scroll]

What’s the issue

[azure topaz]

200-250$ is just too close to am5 and ddr5

[stark kiln]

I suggest you give that in for a cash prize of counter terrorism

My budget 420$ so for that id say it's good

[azure topaz]

i agree

[stark kiln]

5500 perhaps?

[high dove]

whenever i put it in and boot up my pc it doesn’t recognize the new ram, it’s the exam same brand speed model etc, even in bios mode its not recognizing it unless im missing something

[azure topaz]

its better than a 3600 still

[stark kiln]

Ok so if I can I'll get 5600. If not 3600 is still fine correct?

[clear canyon]

Why not just get a better card?

5500x3d

[stark kiln]

I mean a750 is cheapest and prob best one for me

[azure topaz]

5500 is better than a 3600, if its the same price id get that 😭

[raven scroll]

You added new ram to your preexisting ram?

[stark kiln]

I mean I seen ones for like 67$

[clear canyon]

They the same, not better

[high dove]

i’m trying yes

[stark kiln]

Let me check

[azure topaz]

same gaming performance without multi tasking means that after ryzen 3k 4core ccd debuff that the 5500 is gonna be the same if not faster

[stark kiln]

Might as well get it

[clear canyon]

Get 9950x3d for budget option

[stark kiln]

A 5500 with a a750 sounds a bit better

[clear canyon]

Noooo

[raven scroll]

Did you properly jam it in

[stark kiln]

Does that even exist

[clear canyon]

Yes

[raven scroll]

How many ram sticks are you trying to shove in

[high dove]

idk? 😭 it didn’t really make a very loud click sound but it seemed to be in there

[stark kiln]

I searched it doesn't see any just normal 5500

[clear canyon]

5825928

[stark kiln]

I mean sure?

[high dove]

2 more bc i already have 2 in from when i bought the pc

it’s a prebuilt

[high zealot]

Anyone know much about home audio? I put a question in the audio tech channel. Hoping to get something figured out today.

[raven scroll]

What’s the capacity of the ram kits in total

[high dove]

for all 4 sticks it’s 32gb

ram kits it’s 16 each

[clear canyon]

853TB per stick

[raven scroll]

Try using only the 2 new sticks

Maybe they could be the issue

[high dove]

yeah but then what’s the point of me buying the new ram

should i like try switching around the slots or

[raven scroll]

Well we’re just trying to find what the issue is

In case the new kit is faulty or smth

[clear canyon]

🥳

[high dove]

ah okay

[south arrow]

A bit rusty but usually black wire negative, and red wires positive, puttem in the tuner slots and voila. If both black i forget what the white line means. What's up though lol?

[high dove]

let me try

[stark kiln]

Yeah there's no 5600 that fits my budget so I'll settle with a 5500

Why?

[raven scroll]

Well check your mobo manual for the best slot placement when using 2 sticks

[stark kiln]

Sure but i have to cheap out on something

[raven scroll]

Usually it’s A2 + B2 (2nd slot and 4th slot)

[stark kiln]

No cooler?

[raven scroll]

Not side by side

[stark kiln]

My mb only has 2 slots

[south arrow]

I went and read, I see

[high dove]

yeah that’s what i’m doing

[stark kiln]

I think

[raven scroll]

I’m talking about mobos with 4 slots

[stark kiln]

Oh ok

[south arrow]

Sparks gotcha squared in audio channel ❤️

[stark kiln]

Can you send a link

[rough juniper]

hi i have bought a pre built PC Here are the specs:

CPU Intel I5 14400F
MOBO GIgabyte B760M
GPU Gigabyte RTX 4060 Windforce OC
Cpu Cooler Cooler Master Hyper 212 Spectrum V3
RAM Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB
SSD Seagate 1tb M.2 SSD
650w PSU

What upgrades whould be made i have aloted a 1k budget for upgrades?

[stark kiln]

For 1k that seems really good

[raven scroll]

Or does he mean he wants to upgrade and has budget of 1k

[rough juniper]

no i have 1k available for upgrades

[rough juniper]

exactly 1k for upgrades

[high dove]

okay so if it doesn’t boot up does that mean it’s a fault ram kit

[raven scroll]

Did you just recently buy this pc?

[raven scroll]

Yes most likely

[stark kiln]

So I should get this one instead of my stock one?

[high dove]

okok it’s booting up now

[rough juniper]

it was gifted to me recently yes i had been saving money to build me own

[stark kiln]

Maybe a new GPU? Like a 4070 ti?

[rough juniper]

will my PSU allow it??

[solid crown]

nothing worthwhile to upgrade

[high dove]

its just a black screen

[stark kiln]

It's 99

[true stirrup]

I was busy sorry but something like this (the GPU is used and I don't know your local market but this is an overall price. You might get it for a better one)
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Pb9mZc

[solid crown]

just save up for a better gpu in 1-3 years

[high dove]

i assumed that means faulty ram kit

[stark kiln]

No I got NOTHING ready or bojght yet it'll happen in October

[azure topaz]

bro

youre telling me this was all pointless

the ebay listings you have in your cart will not be there in october

[stark kiln]

Well see but usually after like a few months they stay there

Why?

[azure topaz]

youre also telling me you have months to save up more money

and not get a 50$ psu

[stark kiln]

I will get a 50$ PSU btw.

[azure topaz]

enjoy it

[raven drum]

Thank you for doing that, I will give it a look

[raven scroll]

Now I would replace it with the original kit and shove it in the same way to really confirm and if that boots fine no black screen then the new kit is the issue

[high dove]

okok

[stark kiln]

Why?

Isn't the GX2 good too?

Is segotep a good Psu maker? Idk

The GX2 is also gold. But I will shortlist that PSU too thanks!

[raven scroll]

That’s rude

I haven’t had an issue with my thermal take psu yet

Except cute coil whining

But that’s just a sign of affection

[high dove]

now it’s not booting up at all

[raven scroll]

Oh shit

[stark kiln]

I'm hearing hava nagila and it's on sync with emojis lol

[high dove]

please don’t tell me i screwed up my pc

[raven scroll]

Maybe placement issue

[stark kiln]

Reboot it. Who knows maybe it'll work

[raven scroll]

Full power cycle

Turn off pc and cord

[stark kiln]

3 steps of PC

1. If it works don't touch it
2. It it doesn't work smack it
3. If it still doesn't work reboot it

[raven scroll]

And try to boot again

[high dove]

yea i did and now i jus plugged it back in, turned it on and it’s not doing anything

it’s like i’m not hearing a snap when i put the ram down but i don’t wanna press down any harder bc i don’t wanna break it

[random gyro]

Check cable connections. Make sure they're secure. (?)

[raven scroll]

Well you do wanna hear a click

My tip is push it down from two sides top and bottom

Hopefully it’s just a placement issue

[stark kiln]

Do it till you hear a click or your gut tells you it's wrong

[raven scroll]

Does your motherboard have debug leds

The little Christmas light

[high dove]

uhh

where would that be

[azure topaz]

the GX2 is actually on the psu tier list, is the other one?

[stark kiln]

Just look for any LEDs on your motherboard

[random gyro]

What motherboard are you currently using? (Model & name)

[stark kiln]

Send a pic of you think you found it

[high dove]

asrock b550m-c

[high dove]

yea i don’t see any

[hallow jasper]

most likely does not

[azure topaz]

it does not i dont think

buddy had one i dont think it does

does have 2 nvme slots though, so take waht you can get

[stark kiln]

Press ram harder till there's a click or it's too much pressure

Could be you didn't press it hard enough

[high dove]

i pressed it as hard as i could before i thought it’d break

[stark kiln]

Try other slots?

[high dove]

i thought you wanted to use a2 and b2 if you’re using 2

[fiery basalt]

Is it going to a boot screen or just not turning on in general

[raven scroll]

Well maybe for your motherboard it’s different

[high dove]

it’s turning on but like my monitor isn’t coming on

[raven scroll]

Usually says on manual

Or the original placement

[high dove]

i got this pc like over a year ago i have no idea where the manual is, it’s probably long gone

[raven scroll]

Oh

[high dove]

yeah

[raven scroll]

Well there’s always an online manual

[fiery basalt]

Silly question but do you have your hdmi or display port plugged into the gpu or motherboard?

[high dove]

uhh i don’t think so?

[raven scroll]

It was working before these ram shenanigans right

[high dove]

i haven’t touched the gpu or anything so

[high dove]

yeah it was completely fine i’ve been using it for hours

[high dove]

no issues

[high dove]

okay so yeah i have them in the right spot

[fiery basalt]

I’m only asking because if its in the motherboard it wont boot the display. If its ram it might be the load order, or your motherboards trying to find the ram even if its in the right display because it doesnt have updated drivers

[raven scroll]

Wait can you send a pic, it might be easier to visualize

[high dove]

of the ram or just whole motherboard

[raven scroll]

Maybe close up of the ram

[high dove]

well i can’t check to update my drivers if i can’t boot my pc so idk

[fiery basalt]

Yeah it makes it difficult if it wont even boot to bios

[high dove]

yeahh

[dapper dragon]

Try booting with only one stick in

[high dove]

ima try to boot it up one more time one sec

[stark kiln]

And one time with other

Could be 1 stick is faulty

[high dove]

these two aren’t faulty they were working fine

it’s the new ones that started the problems

[raven scroll]

Those are the two original sticks

[high dove]

yes

[fiery basalt]

Wouldnt hurt to give it a shot at least

[stark kiln]

Yeah

[high dove]

i guess

[raven scroll]

Now this brings up another question

[high dove]

what slot should i use for only one

[raven scroll]

Were the new sticks ever faulty

Because if those don’t work alone and now the original ones don’t work as well

[dapper dragon]

A2

[fiery basalt]

How do you post in battlestations, I just came back the server and its a little different. I can do everything but hit post

[high dove]

it’s not starting with one stick

god man why can nothing ever just go smoothly

[dapper dragon]

And you’ve updated your bios?

[fiery basalt]

He cant even get it to boot to bios its not registering a display
