Unless your mobo doesn’t have bios flashback

You’ve shorted your cmos battery?

high dove
#

just heard a click on one of them

#

i guess let’s try again with all 4

weird question? if I wanted to have 2 motherboards turn on at once could I connect the LED connector of the board which is connected to a power button to the second board so that board one's power LED turns on board two?

not turning on

#

yay my pc is screwed just bc i wanted to upgrade it

#

gotta love life

stark kiln
#

Maybe the motherboards an issue?

high dove
#

okay but there was literally no issues until i tried putting in the new ram

sharp ivy
#

Yesterday's aquisitions

#

all from the thrift shop

azure topaz
#

a stick of ram and peak

#

bioshock allowed you to unlock the frame rate even on consoles back in the dya

#

imagine if we had that choice in every console game

high dove
#

i’m genuinely so upset

#

how does trying to upgrade your ram just destroy ur pc

azure topaz
#

did you clear the cmos

sharp ivy

what is that

#

and how do i do that

@azure topaz

high dove
#

there are a lot of things that look like little batteries

tawny knoll
#

I'd upgrade your GPU

raven scroll
#

Get like a new gpu for $300

azure topaz
hoary tree
raven scroll
#

Get a cheap am4 motherboard for like 70 dollars

#

And upgrade cpu to 5600 or smth

sharp ivy
#

Oooh

#

what games do you play

#

do you need more cpu or gpu

#

not 5060

#

unless you need the features

#

Get a higher end older card

azure topaz
# high dove b550m-c

below the very bottom GPU slot, theres 2 pins, labeled CLRCMOS, hold a metal screw driver between those pins for 15 seconds

#

while its OFF

raven scroll
#

You can get smth rlly good if you look on the used market

azure topaz
#

might not actually be labeled the manual lied to me

high dove
azure topaz
#

its right there shawty

high dove
#

WHERE😭😭

azure topaz
#

2 pins sticking out by the circle

#

blind mf

high dove
#

oh wait

#

okay so put it in between those for 15s

azure topaz
#

yes

#

while its off

#

if it doesnt work try it while the psu is on

high dove
#

idk if the screwdriver will fit in there

azure topaz
high dove
#

what’s the psu

azure topaz
azure topaz
high dove
azure topaz
#

you just gotta connect the two pins together for a little second

solid osprey
#

ym i need to ship a desktop pc how much bubblewrap am i looking at

high dove
#

oh so i don’t have to stick it all the way back jus connect them through the screwdriver

solid osprey
#

im thinking 3 or 4 layers around

solid osprey
#

and then throw that in a box

azure topaz
solid osprey
#

theres no gpu or anything that falls easily

high dove
#

okay now what

azure topaz
#

turn it on

#

see if it works

high dove
#

woah red light

#

idk if i’ve ever seen that before

azure topaz
#

maybe when youre swapping ram

#

dont mix kits and dont forget to disable XMP before doing so

#

because what was happening is that it was trying to apply the same settings as your old sticks to your new ones and it hated that

high dove
#

it’s still not booting up i think

azure topaz
#

give it a while

mint ember
#

What can i do if my windows installation has been stuck on 42% for a long time? I already restarted my pc and restarted the download

high dove
#

alright

#

hoping this works

#

just gonna send the new ram sticks back if this fixes the pc

azure topaz
#

has the light changed position or color

high dove
#

no still red

azure topaz
#

mkay

high dove
#

is that good

azure topaz
#

probably

high dove
azure topaz
#

ur board is terrible and annoying so if we need to be sure the cmos is cleared we (you) have to take the gpu out

#

seems like its gong to work perhaps though

high dove
#

how long should i wait for it to boot up

azure topaz
#

until about now before trying another option

#

pull the gpu and below its pcie slot theres a little red and black cable attached to a white connector

#

very gently unplug that for 15 seconds and unplug the psu and spam the power button

#

then plug everything back in and try again

#

also with only 1 stick of working ram in the proper slot

high dove
#

none of the ram is working that’s the issue

#

but i shall try

azure topaz
#

yes i know but there was a kit that worked before and a kit that never worked

#

so based off that use the one that worked before

high dove
#

ok i took out the b2 one

#

so unplug the gpu

azure topaz
#

take the whole thing out

#

unfortunately

high dove
#

idk how to do that 😭

azure topaz
#

ohhh man

high dove
#

i assume big cord that i can see

azure topaz
#

did you buil this yourself

high dove
#

no it was a prebuilt

azure topaz
#

i am absolutely not teaching you how to pull a gpu over discord so watch a video or something if you want to proceed from here

#

you can try shorting the pins longer with your screw driver

#

im not sure if the power supply needs to be switched on or off in your case

#

try off, and after you flip it off, mash the power button a crap ton, then short the pins and try booting agian

digital egret
#

Guys im curious, why is 4060 and 5060 the same exact price in my country

true stirrup
digital egret
#

in this case it leans to 4060 price not changing and 5060 matching 4060 price

Thats kinda dumb tho considering these are like big online local store prices im looking at rn

simple parrot
#

question im trying to pick out a procesor for a 9070 xt nd the tehc guy at a store said that i should get a AMD Ryzen 5 7500F instead of a AMD Ryzen 7 8700F

the 8700f is only like 50pln more nd i get 2 more cores but they said the 7500 is more efficient in games

azure topaz
#

7500F is just better

simple parrot
#

btw 50 pln is like 13 bucks

azure topaz
#

the 8700F has half the cache of a 7500F

#

and games much worse

simple parrot
#

so it is literaly worse even tho it has mroe cores nd threads>

azure topaz
#

and has lower PCIE lanes

fringe prairie
azure topaz
simple parrot
#

oh dang

fringe prairie
#

7500f is much better

azure topaz
#

the 7500F is a way better pick, give that man a kiss for the suggestion

good save then, i was wierded out cus its a first time a tech store guy recomended a CHEAPER option lmao

ty everyone for the help :))

azure topaz

if they clicked they shouldve wored earlier

high dove
#

yesyes everything is fine now

azure topaz
#

im gonna assume the bios reset worked and did its half too

#

make sure you turn XMP back on (or dont if using all 4)and make any other changes you made previously in your bios

high dove
#

i didn’t do the bios reset i just clicked all of them down bc i guess i didn’t do it hard enough

and now it’s on

and it says correct ram

Wait guys, so if you have a let's say 128gb SSD with like 2tb HDD. Does it mean it boots games at SSD speed with more space?

it's even cheaper than kingston NV2/3

My rx 5700xt and r7 5700x3d pull about 300w together

what is the difference between these 2

#

one is shorter ig?

trim gyro
#

they look the same

hexed tapir
#

Fin color?

teal sphinx
#

i have no fucking idea

#

why one cost 20$ less than the other

#

that's like half the fucking price

hexed tapir
#

The fans are different

trim gyro
#

both could use a better cooler design though

random gyro
#

and heatsink

hexed tapir
#

You lose out on cooling performance but it's ok

teal sphinx
#

i am so confused why is this 20$ cheaper

#

i guess i'll ask id-cooling what's up

hexed tapir
teal sphinx
#

and the fan is weaker on the cheaper one

#

the cheper one they rate it for 180W the more expenisve one they rate it for 250W

do you need thermal paste with 360mm aio?

No?

i dont understand how thermal paste works so im just asking

hexed tapir
#

It's a thermally conductive goop that fills in the microscopic air gaps between the cooler and CPU ensuring good contact

austere cargo
#

the aio im buying, all the reviews saying you should buy thermalpaste because they say the one in the tube is a little clumpy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2qy5r6373k this vid is pretty accurate @agile topaz

The Purple Dawn switches are the first switch designed in house by Unikeys. It also happens to be the first HMX switch that has a true 3.9mm travel distance, as they are using new molds. Not too important but a fun fact, I suppose. The switches use a modified UPE, my guess is some combination of a teflon-like polymer with UPE, or UHMWPE as it...

put some effort in it by looking for the lowest price and the best ones are the people who do not really know what they have to the point you cant just search for it but rather brute force it

I helped my friend buy a computer back in covid age

for like 80$, the computer is worth at least 300$ if sold at that time, the gpu alone back then was worth more than what he paid for the pc

crazy work

tidal geyser

first before we can rec even one actual gpu you need to give us any form of a budget

raven drum
#

Maybe like $300-400. I am kind of looking for a used card

tidal geyser
#

rx 6800 xt or rtx 3080 ti

#

i would imagine if you spend some time it would not be hard to find a 3080 ti for about 400$

raven drum
#

yeah I was thinking the RX as radeon 7000 series was disappointing

tidal geyser
#

i dono 7000 is nice

raven drum
#

oh maybe I have heard wrong

tidal geyser
#

i have heard people getting the XTX for 500-600

#

mostly friend deals and such

limpid ivy
# trim geode yes

Ya might be toast. Hp pulled a move with their oem boards like usual. Talking from experience from helping someone else.

#

I was so sad to hear SLI is basically dead because 2070 super SLI was my first idea

#

quickly shot down

tidal geyser
#

but most games do not support it?

raven drum
#

yeah

tidal geyser
#

even then they had issues

#

you would imagine more gpu more better but doing so is very hard

trim geode
raven drum
#

Dude it is weird to me how I do not find very many used 7700xt for sale

tidal geyser
#

used things only get sold once the people do not want it anymore

raven drum
#

idk I just find a lot more 7600 or 6800

limpid ivy
tidal geyser
#

a soldering iron could fix the problem

limpid ivy
#

If you take a screwdriver you can jumpstart the board though

tidal geyser

well ofc but actual ones not really

its funny, he spent like i dono like 120$ or smn on a new black case

have you ever repasted it?

that is not temps

eh well possible it could be but i would have repaste way before i changed cases

i have also done that now so i hope my problem will be fixed

Hola, I have a question, why do I see Nvidia cards use less vram compared to their AMD counterparts ( mainly refering to the rtx 5070 Vs Rx 9070 ), is this optimization leaning towards Nvidia by Devs, Nvidia having some ai compression for textures or just because the rtx 5070 has 12gb of vram is tries to decrease texture settings automatically or something. Thanks

NVidia cards purely have less because of greed if youre wondering
