[azure topaz]

i have a p620 in my work machine i feel you

[tidal geyser]

i just got my 3060 12GB today

[odd marsh]

just go steal a GPU from another machine

like the ones being decommed

[tidal geyser]

found out my m5 is using like 2 year old yaml file

kill me

well i think im using the new shit now buuut i cant do yaml at all so i think i forgot the wifi shit

this is gonna take all day again aint it

[rigid fjord]

if all you want is a laptop that you could lightly game on while primarily focusing on college work, this could do a large chunk of that

[carmine quiver]

il need the gpu

[tidal geyser]

why

[carmine quiver]

saw that but i think the gpu will be worth it

i wont be home most of the time, it's not like i can bring a giant full tower with me

[rigid fjord]

this has an amd 860m built in for the igpu tbh

[tidal geyser]

ITS WORKING

[carmine quiver]

ill think about it after checking out the differences, from what it looks the only difference is that has no gpu

[rigid fjord]

no dgpu, but that also means a longer lasting battery

[carmine quiver]

true ill double check the stuff

honestly it all depends on how desperate i am

if im not desperate ill probably go for the legion, if i get desperate im probably going for something similar to that

[rigid fjord]

the one i would like to suggest is basically almost double your budget

[carmine quiver]

i dont even wanna know

[rigid fjord]

r9 ai hx 370 pro

[odd marsh]

:(

[carmine quiver]

ill check it out sometime

i have like 5 months of time to choose

[rigid fjord]

it has the 890m as an igpu which is a fair bit better than the 860m, but it's expensive as fuck

[carmine quiver]

i see it alot in zenbooks

[fringe prairie]

damn

[carmine quiver]

anyways imma sleep now because im dying from sleep deprivation

[rigid fjord]

the ultimate one for gaming on with amd's igpu's tend to cost 2k usd+

8060s is really competitive with the 4060/5060 on laptops

[delicate oar]

anyone know if the X870 motherboards allow USB ports and other ports to give out power when the computer is shut down? used to be able to charge my mice, headphones and earbuds and everything but my new X870 doesnt let me

can't find anything in the bois either

[rigid fjord]

yeah, it kinda goes in with the no advertising rule, because there's always that 1 fuckwit that likes to ruin it for others

[odd marsh]

what are the drafing pc specs you are decomming?

[rigid fjord]

well, you'd never find it in the 'bois', but it's possible to find it in the BIOS instead

there's a setting for it in b650/850 let alone the x670/870

believe it's in the advanced settings for most, mainly to do with onboard usb/audio/network

[latent gull]

Your bois don’t give power when shut down?

Mine must be built different

[rigid fjord]

you need to stop poking the mains socket every time

[latent gull]

https://tenor.com/view/vintage-retro-vhs-gif-12532106

[south arrow]

[azure topaz]

anything from K2200 to turing at lest it seems

[odd marsh]

ok good getting rid of turding

[azure topaz]

indeed

[south arrow]

Confirmed on x670

[delicate oar]

Literally ther isnt any setting allowing usb power while in s5 or literally any setting about it whatsoever only erp ready, which i already have disabled this is infuriating

I cant leave my pc on overnight everyday just to charge my stuff

[south arrow]

Could also check windows power management sleep settings. Bios by default should just have the ports active

Haven't tested a x870 but should is key

Or some kinda wake usb option*

[peak knot]

USB power on shutdown is a common BIOS option pertaining to that feature

[rigid fjord]

you should show images of the bios's advanced settings

[peak knot]

the option may be under ErP settings

[rigid fjord]

for asus i know they put it with the onboard settings for the usb, nic and audio for the better part, not sure for asrock/gigabyte/msi though

[south arrow]

I think this is it for my asus x670 in on board devices config via advanced tab

Myte be mistaken*

There's also usb config for single port control but all should be enabled*

[barren breach]

Does 115X mean itll fit LGA 1151?

[rigid fjord]

that's same on my b550-f, and while at a different colouring, was on my prime b450 plus also

[tidal geyser]

it will fit all 115x motherboards yes

[barren breach]

Thank you

[wanton rampart]

what’s the best thing to do with a really really old pc

[tidal geyser]

server

[wanton rampart]

like gtx 750 ti and i5 6400 old

[azure topaz]

yes

[wanton rampart]

my dad had this really old work pc so he told me to take it apart give him the hard drives and see if it had anything good in it

[azure topaz]

“really old” and it’s ddr4 im cooked

[abstract wigeon]

what could i do if i turned this mini pc into a server? 4th gen mobile i5, 8gb ram

[rigid fjord]

for many, a nas

[plain cypress]

Isn't 6th Gen half your life ago

[azure topaz]

mathing

[rigid fjord]

a really simple minecraft server or a nas

[azure topaz]

yes

idk 6/7th was when i started getting into pcs so that all still feels fast to me

[abstract wigeon]

id like to make a nas at some point but it would have to use all external drives whoch would be annoying

[azure topaz]

i remember linus 7700k+1080 hot rod and being amazed

[thorn escarp]

guys do you use the paste your cooler comes with?

or do yall prefer wiping it off and using your own?

[wanton rampart]

and what would one use a nas for

[plain cypress]

6th Gen today is....not good

At least for gaming

NAS or basic office use, it's passable

[azure topaz]

yeah…😔

[plain cypress]

Haswell is when I started learning about PCs but I didn't have any money until Skylake

[tidal geyser]

nau

7th gen minimum for me

[plain cypress]

I wouldn't use it personally

Well I do use Skylake for my router

[tidal geyser]

even 2nd gen is fine if we take away media anything

[thorn pewter]

wha

i get what you mean elborate plz

[plain cypress]

He's a 32nm transistor glazer fr

[thorn pewter]

i mean i still see schools using 32nm for their shit

i dont think classroom apps use more than 2c/4t at max

0.5mhz prolly the most they will ever use, 25kb of ram maybe

[normal tusk]

hello chat I have 7nm processor but only 3nm are being used

[thorn pewter]

[gloomy sleet]

guys i went weeb

[carmine quiver]

all the talk made me remember something, cant you just use integrated graphics even if the laptop has a gpu

[thorn escarp]

does it sound thocky though

[unborn condor]

Hey guys, I have a: ryzen 5 3600, radeon RX 7900XTX (overkill and bottlenecking considering my other hardware, I know I know), 32 GB of 3200mhz RAM, AsRock B550M pro4 mobo, 1000w power supply, and a fresh install of Windows 11. Ever since installing windows 11, i've been getting very frequent HYPERVISOR_ERROR BSoDs. Anyone know what this could be because of? I updated my bios properly, as well as have all my drivers updated. This is happening very frequently, and it's been happening ever since I updated to Windows 11. What could a fix for this be?

[thorn escarp]

check if your chipset drivers are up to date or not

[unborn condor]

How can I do that?

Oh, you mean just the straight up CPU drivers. I suppose those are the only drivers I haven't specifically updated...

[azure topaz]

those are chipset drivers

not cpu drivers

[rigid fjord]

you can for sure, though most laptops run the dgpu through the igpu when you to use the dgpu

[unborn condor]

Well, I tried downloading it but it just goes away the moment I run the program

[azure topaz]

if they were cpu drivers they’d be called that i’ll just say that

[azure topaz]

what about the auto detect?

[unborn condor]

so what should I download?

[unborn condor]

Auto detect?

[rigid fjord]

overkill for 1080p yes, not a bottleneck though

[azure topaz]

the auto detect installer on the amd driver page

[gloomy sleet]

no

it sounds like this

wait a second i need to record a new video of the sound

[rigid fjord]

storing stuff on that they don't want to lose

[thorn escarp]

also make sure to update your bios plus every driver you find on asrock's website

[unborn condor]

I'm drawing a blank here

[unborn condor]

oh?

[azure topaz]

google it

[thorn escarp]

chipset drivers are found on amd's website

[azure topaz]

the drivers on the asrock site likely auto installed if they’re typing here

[thorn escarp]

oh?

[gloomy sleet]

here

[azure topaz]

don’t say oh that’s been a windows feature since at least 7

[gloomy sleet]

it’s more of a marbly sound

still quite deep though

[azure topaz]

i say if they’re typing here cause that means their computer has the network driver

[rigid fjord]

that's abouit as weeb as i'm american

[gloomy sleet]

(it was a joke)

[azure topaz]

windows is pretty good at pulling drivers automatically and most of them are pre downloaded to the iso

[thorn escarp]

i didnt know it installed every one of them damn

[hearty hare]

Anyone using gigabyte motherboard?

[azure topaz]

most anyways

[gloomy sleet]

i just need to swap the keycaps

[kindred halo]

Oh boy can't wait for payday (2 days overdue)

[thorn escarp]

i still manually install ethernet drivers just for the best internet idk

[rigid fjord]

you've been told before, jokes are meant to be funny

[gloomy sleet]

dang

[azure topaz]

usually the same driver or older on the site fr 💀

[gloomy sleet]

jokes are jokes regardless of subjective humour

[hearty hare]

anyone?

[thorn escarp]

nah but its v cool

[gloomy sleet]

a joke doesn’t have to be funny to still be a joke

[unborn condor]

so, it's only showing my GPU for it

[thorn escarp]

gotcha, ty!

[gloomy sleet]

thanks i’m considering putting some new keycaps on actually

[kindred halo]

What do you need

(I don't use one but I might be able to help)

[azure topaz]

idk if it shows up after, but assume it’s already installed then

[thorn escarp]

awww

[gloomy sleet]

i have a good set of greyish caps i like

[thorn escarp]

those look so nice

[hearty hare]

I want someone who has gcc application

[gloomy sleet]

i’ll put them on a different keyboard dw

[thorn escarp]

i just cleaned my keyboard today it looks so pretty

[hearty hare]

I need a profile xml file from rgb fusion

[unborn condor]

but how do i check if i have the current drivers and such for my cpu?

[azure topaz]

drivers for your cpu don’t exist (that you install)

[gloomy sleet]

i’ll probably swap it with these

[kindred halo]

Ah. Can't help then, sorry

[azure topaz]

there’s chipset drivers, you can update your bios

[unborn condor]

so then what can i do about this frequent hypervisor error, then?

[restive ledge]

i cannot wait until i get my severance payout (the location closed) from work so i can finally start building my computer
should be getting it in a week

[gloomy sleet]

ignore the numpad0 for enter

[azure topaz]

figure out which piece of hardware is maybe going bad

[unborn condor]

aren't those for laptops? I did update my BIOS to the current version

[azure topaz]

update bios

[azure topaz]

drivers are drivers

[unborn condor]

i put all my hardware through stress tests and no errors came back

[restive ledge]

the caps lock and shift keys both having just an arrow is odd to me

[unborn condor]

I did update my bios

[azure topaz]

did you do proper stress tests? what were you using

[unborn condor]

Hyper95 for the CPU

[thorn escarp]

how expensive are keycaps i gotta get some nice ones

[azure topaz]

prime95 but close enough, what settings

[gloomy sleet]

that’s a 1.75U shift key for the caps lock

i prefer it because it’s a higher profile

[unborn condor]

the stock ones

[azure topaz]

did you test ram?

[restive ledge]

ohhh haha

[unborn condor]

i did a memory diagnostic

[gloomy sleet]

i do have a normal caps lock which is just a padlock symbol though

[rigid fjord]

did you check the bios settings that will affect hypervisor?

[unborn condor]

could it possibly be a bios setting i have enabled?

[gloomy sleet]

£11 for me

[unborn condor]

what bios settings could affect hypervisor?

[azure topaz]

did you mess with anything recently in your bios?

[red bluff]

Will it bottleneck?

[gloomy sleet]

they’re aifei v3s off aliexpress

would recommend they are really nice quality ABS keycaps

[gloomy sleet]

18700X is wild because that will never exist

[unborn condor]

i have to have the TPM enabled for my work, and I also have it so that the ram is at the correct 3200mhz speed instead of the default 2133, but other than that, no

[thorn escarp]

nice!

[golden sage]

at 6000mts CL26, is 64gb harder to run than 32gb?

talking about 2 sticks here

[azure topaz]

yes

any d5 platform should do that though

[unborn condor]

could either of these do that?

[azure topaz]

did you set XMP or just change the dram frequency

[thorn escarp]

i8

[unborn condor]

hold on, lemme restart and then i'll take pictures and send them

[thorn escarp]

the new naming scheme intel came up with is somehow even worse than before

[azure topaz]

okay

[azure topaz]

how was it bad before? 😭

[thorn escarp]

all they shouldve done is remove the "i3/5/7/9" imo

[azure topaz]

thats just weird

[fringe prairie]

intel core ultra 285k

[hollow jungle]

Intel Core Ultra 395K when?

[thorn escarp]

the i7 scheme is just weird cus it doesnt mention generation

just having 15--- should suffice imo

[unborn condor]

Idk why it's not sending, one sec

[south arrow]

I would've been fine with the 15600k-15900k but that was to easy

[unborn condor]

That's the first one

That's the second

[thorn escarp]

thats what im saying

[azure topaz]

??

[unborn condor]

And that's the third

[thorn escarp]

also maybe a 15400 imo

[thorn escarp]

what was confusing about my message?

[azure topaz]

mf i3/i5/i7 is nkt even supposed to say the generation

do you know the point of the first two numbers?

[thorn escarp]

no shit

[azure topaz]

there’s product designation and product generations

[thorn escarp]

most people who arent tech literate dont bother reading them

[azure topaz]

most people who aren’t tech literate dont consider building a pc so whats the point

[tidal geyser]

Sad cpu

[south arrow]

I also like the i3-i9 because its a good indicator on how well the silicon is with how many cores perspectively active

[unborn condor]

@azure topaz do you see anything here that would allude to the hypervisor errors I'm getting?

[azure topaz]

ryzen doesn’t do that either😭

[azure topaz]

yes

[unborn condor]

Oh?

[azure topaz]

you didn’t set xmp and you just changed the dram frequency

set dram frequency to auto and xmp to enabled or profile 1 or whatever

[hollow jungle]

y

[unborn condor]

So it should look like this?

[azure topaz]

yes

[unborn condor]

That's the only thing you're seeing otherwise though? This is what should fix it?

[south arrow]

Note booting after this may take a few mins to memory train

[azure topaz]

probably

ram is not to be fucked with if you don’t know what’s up

[unborn condor]

I might do another memory diag just to be safe

[azure topaz]

useless

run occt memory

[unborn condor]

Occt memory?

[south arrow]

Xmp 2 is usually factory setting vs xmp1 mobo settings should be good

If not switch to 1

But like meh

[azure topaz]

OCCT stress test

[rigid fjord]

svm mode is for virtualization, which could be affecting hypervisor possibly

[azure topaz]

on the ram setting

[unborn condor]

There was only one option

[azure topaz]

if you turn off SVM the hyper visor disappears

[south arrow]

Makes it quite easy on ya then 😉

[unborn condor]

What does hypervisor even do? Do I need it?

[azure topaz]

security, if your work wants tpm it wants the hyper visor

[rigid fjord]

time to do some googling for yourself

[unborn condor]

Which is funny, considering that it's currently not even detecting it

[unborn condor]

Oh, you're saying this might not be enabled and that I should enable it?

[nocturne plover]

is this worth $500 and a hr 30 drive

[unborn condor]

It does give me this

[rigid fjord]

according to your bios it should be already enabled, so whatever in windows is using hypervisor could be causing an issue

[fast girder]

I know I asked it here yesterday, but I need a laptop, could be refurbished, up to $250, for a 9-year-old. I prefer AMD

[unborn condor]

so, it's a software issue

[haughty compass]

Hey so my friend has an issue with his PC where with certain games bsod his entire PC when he alt tabs/windows. The games he has this issue mostly with are Roblox, valorant and peak. In the image u can see how the bsod started appearing but it fails to fully load and show this error

[rigid fjord]

quite possibly

[unborn condor]

What else could it be? All the stress tests indicate nothing wrong with my hardware. I guess that only leaves a program. Could it be the AMD fTPM switch?

What should this even be set to, anyways?

[nocturne plover]

?^

[night coral]

What are some of the better value m2 drives for a gaming build

[rigid fjord]

if it's not going to the one built into the cpu, then quite possibly

[unborn condor]

So which setting should I have it on?

[rigid fjord]

ftpm, l2c/spi tpm points to one that gets plugged into the mobo separately

[unborn condor]

I'll try it with fTPM, then. Is there a way I can find out which programs are using hypervisor?

[rigid fjord]

this for example is a tpm that plugs into a mobo

[carmine quiver]

what's better AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 vs Intel Core i7-14700HX

[fringe prairie]

performance - 14700hx
battery - ai 350

[rigid fjord]

google would tell you of a program that could figure this out tbh

[fringe prairie]

if you care about igpu i would go ai 260/8845/7840/8840hs

[unborn condor]

So it's pretty safe to assume at this point if after I've done all this and it still happens, that it's most likely a software issue?

[haughty compass]

I was checking who crashed the recent crash didn't show up on it. I think the computer is restarting before it fully goes through

[rigid fjord]

ai 9 370/390/395 or an 7840/8840/8845hs, the ai 260 is completely 'meh'

[unborn condor]

So in "Services", it shows Microsoft App-V client as "disabled", should this be enabled?

[hearty hare]

anyone with gigabyte motherboard? or has used GCC

:'C

[fringe prairie]

ai 260 is 8845hs rebrand

same zen4 8c/16t with 780m

so not sure why youre saying meh

[unborn condor]

I don't know how to enable this, though

[faint flower]

is a new 7800xt for 470 a good deal?

[plain cypress]

No

[faint flower]

okay

[plain cypress]

Surely you can find one second hand for maybe $400?

Or even less?

[faint flower]

i can yeah

but is it a good card

[plain cypress]

Oh the world is fucked

Used 7800xt sold for $700

[faint flower]

i live in austria

[plain cypress]

It's aight

[faint flower]

its a little different here

[plain cypress]

9060xt 16gb? 9070 non xt?

[rigid fjord]

more fucked when it comes to america

[plain cypress]

Uhhh sorry I can't speak to your local market then

[faint flower]

the 9070 is hella exepsnive

[plain cypress]

If you've done the research and that's genuinely a good price for Austria, then it's your call

[faint flower]

like 700

new tho

[tidal geyser]

what is that in real monies

[faint flower]

cant find used

the cheapest used 7800xt i can find is just 40 cheaper than a new one

also if i would undervolt it could it be able to run on 550watts

[tidal geyser]

used 3080

[faint flower]

too much power

[tidal geyser]

get a bigger PSU

[faint flower]

no

[tidal geyser]

also it uses like the same amount of power as a 7800 xt if you do it right

[dim tartan]

I have a razer blackwidow v3 keyboard and right now when I turn on my pc, the keyboard flashes twice and then turns off.. is there anything I can do to fix it?

[tidal geyser]

50-100w more on a 3080, you say you really can fit a 7800 xt but not a 3080?

[faint flower]

yeah not with a 550 watts psu

plus isnt a 3080 worse

[azure topaz]

oof

same or better

[faint flower]

actually?

[tidal geyser]

it costs like 1.5x or less

[azure topaz]

yes

[tidal geyser]

keep in mind you also get dlss with the 3080

[faint flower]

well i can get a new one for 350

[azure topaz]

and real ray tracing

[rigid fjord]

yes, get a better keyboard

[tidal geyser]

way less vram tho so i would not run at 4k

[tidal geyser]

what???

[azure topaz]

the 800xt is terrible at ray tracing

[tidal geyser]

no shit its 2 gens old

[dim tartan]

So what, it’s bad now?

[tidal geyser]

but its still real???

[azure topaz]

you can’t use it is my point 😭

[tidal geyser]

or is amd faking their RT

[faint flower]

yes but it pulls a lot of power

which i dont like

[tidal geyser]

50w more like

UV or just lower the power limit

[last mural]

Yo is my argb hub cooked
I plug it into the motherboard and the sata port and then when I turn on my power supply it starts ticking 😭 it also doesn’t even turn on

[faint flower]

what could i probably lower it to

[rigid fjord]

razer products always trash

[dim tartan]

Ok

[tidal geyser]

no clue as nvidia is icky and me touchy

[faint flower]

man

i am not sure about what to do

[inner pendant]

Hello, a week ago I bought the Samsung 990 Pro 2TB without heatsink and used it as my system drive in my gaming PC and it's been working great but I checked the S.M.A.R.T. tab and it shows Percentage Used having those values: Byte - 5, Raw Data - 0, Status - Good. I have 1.6TB written. If it helps I run Windows 11 Pro 2TB, I created an additional 120GB partition in addition to the OS partition, I have the R7 7800X3D and the ASUS PRIME X670E-PRO WiFi. EDIT: I am running the 5B2QJXD7 firmware version and Magician tells me it's the latest.

[tidal geyser]

9060 xt 16GB

[faint flower]

yeah i guess thats one of the only options

[tidal geyser]

what is the health at

[inner pendant]

wdym? I thougtht Percentage Used was the health

[rigid fjord]

nope

[tidal geyser]

there is a massive blue box that says health

[inner pendant]

that's not in Magician

[tidal geyser]

i swear it still has something like it

[inner pendant]

well I don't see it, also as I edited in the original message my firmware version is 5B2QJXD7 and Magician tells me it's the latest

so what do I do???

[tidal geyser]

use a actual smart data reading program like CDI crystal disk info

also allow me to add, magician is HORRIBLE

[peak knot]

My oscilloscope runs doom

[tidal geyser]

nau

[tidal geyser]

so the issue is what

the disk is in perfect health

[inner pendant]

Magician?

[tidal geyser]

samsung

[inner pendant]

I was just worried that this piece of shit was telling me I was at 95% health after less than a week of usage

but still, how do I update my firmware if it says that I am running the latest? And I don't think mine - 5B2QJXD7 is actually the latest

[tidal geyser]

it is

[inner pendant]

ChatGPT told me that is the version that had all those degradation issues in 2023 and there is a newer one

[tidal geyser]

where do i begin

[inner pendant]

And also I see there is 6B2QJXD7 available on Samsung's website https://semiconductor.samsung.com/consumer-storage/support/tools/

[tidal geyser]

what year are we in

[inner pendant]

2025?

[tidal geyser]

you do not think they have updated their store stock in 2 years?

[inner pendant]

Mine had 2024 on the box

[tidal geyser]

is 2024 after or before 2023

[inner pendant]

well I get it but still, there is a chance they could have shipped it with the older firmware

[tidal geyser]

not possible

they took back store stock and updated it and OFC after made sure nothing bad got out

it costs them more in RMAs then just sending it all back to be updated

and anyways if magician has nothing newer there is nothing newer ya need to go for

also chat gpt the current free version most of the data its trained on is from 2024 at the latest

[inner pendant]

you have the search the web option in ChatGPT

[tidal geyser]

how did i know you were gonna say that

[tidal geyser]

does not mean the LLM itself is from 2025

if you ask it to make a pc parts list it uses parts from 2024 since it does not know 5000 and 9000 gpus are out and does not know about core ultra or ryzen 9000

[night coral]

need help picking an inexpensive m2 with a dram cache for speedier game installs, any recommends?

[inner pendant]

So I shouldn't do anything about this?

[rigid fjord]

it won't make a speedier game install

[night coral]

Also for faster file transfers

[tidal geyser]

mp33

[tidal geyser]

yes

[tidal geyser]

what 100GIG files?

[night coral]

With a dram cache

[tidal geyser]

why

[wheat torrent]

when can one expect 5070 ti super? q3?

[tidal geyser]

how

[tidal geyser]

NVIDIA HAS SAID LITERALLY NOTHING AT ALL ABOUT IT, how can we know about when then

[rigid fjord]

not really, a good dramless drive is just as fast

[night coral]

If it doesn't do those things what's the point of having a dram cache?

[wheat torrent]

ok fair enugh....

[tidal geyser]

money

[wheat torrent]

im sorry sim why so serius

[tidal geyser]

caching

[rigid fjord]

coding, 3d modeling, video editing, caching all in professional circumstances

[bitter crater]

ps5 requires dram cache drives

[tidal geyser]

there are just downright WAY WAY WAY too many who ask about it

[tidal geyser]

nop

people use it with a usb HDD and it still works well enough

[rigid fjord]

fuck no

[tidal geyser]

even the direct storage standard on pc only needs a pcie 3 ssd and that is it

[night coral]

Ok so what would be a good value ssd without a dram cache

[tidal geyser]

well

[night coral]

Mp33, any others?

[tidal geyser]

you have yet to say where you are

[wheat torrent]

I want it.

[bitter crater]

really? i read that ps5 doesnt have the host memory stuff and as such couldnt do dramless ssd's (guess the article was wrong then)

[tidal geyser]

no shit so do the others

[rigid fjord]

mp44l, sn580, nm620, nm710, nm760, nm790

[night coral]

[tidal geyser]

well yea that is what SSDs have now a days as a replacement for dram just due to how fast pcie is

it uses the system ram as dram

[wheat torrent]

I KNOW that benchlife is not nvidia

thats a pretty big cuda difference between 5070 and 5080 isn't it? (allegedly)

[rigid fjord]

aka, hmb also known as host memory buffer ***

[tidal geyser]

yus

[tidal geyser]

they have not even said they are coming out with a super this generation

nor super ti then too

[rigid fjord]

mixed the terms up for the same acronym

[wheat torrent]

isnt that guy a reputable leaker

[tidal geyser]

only card to get ti is 5060

[tidal geyser]

so they cant be wrong?

[wheat torrent]

4070 ti?

[odd marsh]

which one

[wheat torrent]

https://x.com/kopite7kimi

[tidal geyser]

im still back in 2023

[odd marsh]

kopite kimi is good

usually pretty accurate

[wheat torrent]

IF true, I need a new psu

[glad fog]

i upgraded to 1440p a few days ago, now my gpu runs at 86c. it was hot enough with the 5800x3d on 1080p, but now both are running full throttle. i guess i have to see and undervolt the gpu though im not sure how much that'll help

[wheat torrent]

I am exchanging my camera for a 5070 ti super basically

got a buyer today

[tidal geyser]

aint your job a photographer

[wheat torrent]

never

I do 3d modeling

[night coral]

Good trade

[tidal geyser]

get a 3D scanner

[wheat torrent]

I turn my camera into an investment basically

3d scanner won't get me money

the 5070 ti super will

[shy seal]

what thermal paste pattern is the best, or most coverage, building a pc soon

[tidal geyser]

dot

middle

[shy seal]

how much, like the size of a quarter?

[wheat torrent]

I am sick and tired of 8gb vram

[tidal geyser]

O HELL NO

[wheat torrent]

I need 24

[tidal geyser]

pea in the middle

[shy seal]

dime?

[wheat torrent]

3 rice grains

[tidal geyser]

just pea

[shy seal]

ok'

[shy seal]

ok

[tidal geyser]

if intel long boy thin strip

[steel umbra]

@wheat torrent no

[wheat torrent]

wow the m word is not allowed

[shy seal]

ryzen

[tidal geyser]

just dot middle

[red bluff]

Minding the argb, how viable would this be for a blue yeti?

[wheat torrent]

metal with string

[tidal geyser]

if it fits it fits

[red bluff]

Im cheaping out big time on this, it's $19.99

[wheat torrent]

read the weight specs and check the yeti weight

[red bluff]

This mic arm desk mount is made of metal, with 3-section telescopic arm design (single section length 37.5cm/14.76inches, total length 112.5cm/44inches), it can hold up to 1.5kg (3.5 lbs).

Technically it should.

[wheat torrent]

yeah ur good

[red bluff]

Yeti is 0.55kg without the stand.

[wheat torrent]

usually for mounts and whatnot, its just a piece of metal

[shy seal]

should i put as many fans in a case as it can fit or completely unnecasary, maybe like 3

[wheat torrent]

it doesn't matter much except when you need big weights

[shy seal]

what weights

[wheat torrent]

like a samsung oddsey g9

you wouldn't get the same arm mount you get for a 24 inch monitor

[shy seal]

oh, your talking monitors

[wheat torrent]

this

[wheat torrent]

someone here told me to not buy case fans at all

[vital gyro]

Can I use my old RX 570 for Lossless Frame Gen for my RX 7600?

[clever burrow]

can i get a good build with 450

[azure topaz]

yeah

[tidal geyser]

used yea

[azure topaz]

it wont look good but sure

[wheat torrent]

ps5

[tidal geyser]

but fps bigger

[tidal geyser]

that is more like 300

[wheat torrent]

It's that cheap?

[azure topaz]

or less

[wheat torrent]

damn interesting

[tidal geyser]

ikr its insane

[azure topaz]

250 min up to 400

[wheat torrent]

how the fuck they making shit like that

[tidal geyser]

i got no tv so no point

[azure topaz]

that broad range

[wheat torrent]

the graphics was pretty good no?

[tidal geyser]

yuh

[azure topaz]

used broski not new just saying

[wheat torrent]

I remember some sick ass graphics on ps5 how is it 300 bucks

[azure topaz]

ps5 is 500$ new

im not paying 450 for someones used gooner ps5

[wheat torrent]

ah fair

[azure topaz]

400 is pretty bad but starting to be acceptable, 250-350 ideal

[wheat torrent]

I guess playing at 60fps goes a long way

[azure topaz]

yeah

[tidal geyser]

keep in mind they are not selling in for that cheap since so many people want it

[azure topaz]

games are easy to run at 1080p 60

its genuinely baffling

[wheat torrent]

you would save a lot of money if you dont nitpick for the latest and greatest

[tidal geyser]

i got so many people wanting to swap their ps5 or xbox x for like fkn vega 64 or there so performance

[wheat torrent]

I am kinda used to 60fps

[azure topaz]

yeah

[tidal geyser]

consoles are so dumb

[wheat torrent]

I only got high refresh rate monitor a few months ago

[tidal geyser]

paying for online games xd

[azure topaz]

i agree its some of the dumbest shit

[tidal geyser]

no modding, only a few games, most of the games are stuck to that platform

and ofc its only really good for gaming, not seeing many doing their work on a ps5

[wheat torrent]

agreed

[rigid fjord]

i'd only be sick and tired of it, only if it was a 3070

[wheat torrent]

it is a 3070

[tidal geyser]

3070 ti

such a funny card

[wheat torrent]

thing is even if I get a 5000 series card with 8gb of ram

even if its better than the 3070 I got, the 8gb of ram is still annoying for me

[tidal geyser]

the issue is more so a 5700 xt is like 100$ or less while the 3070 is like 300-250

[wheat torrent]

while texturing once the vram fills up (instantly)
everything gets offloaded to the ram

so everything becomes soooooo slow

[abstract wigeon]

my 3070 is still going strong 💪

[wheat torrent]

no cuda 👎

[abstract wigeon]

ray tracing shmay tracing

cant ray trace to a playable degree with 3070 anyways

[wheat torrent]

[tidal geyser]

skill issue

[wheat torrent]

I have no issues with the rendering times on 3070

I don't do much rendering

[tidal geyser]

so why do you need a new gpu

[wheat torrent]

more vram

[tidal geyser]

just slap more vram on the 3070

[wheat torrent]

I mostly do online rendering so the 3070 does just fine

offline rendering it is a bit sluggish but its fine

[frigid blade]

online rendering?

[wheat torrent]

ughhhh

one is realtime the other isn't but not really

[tidal geyser]

so you see he has a line of work he needs to do

[wheat torrent]

there is more details to it but whatever it doesn't matter

like here is the file for one commission I am working on

I am working in ONLY 1024x1024, which is often enough but still

full vram usage

AND THEN SOME

[tidal geyser]

bit bit more under there

[wheat torrent]

here is the same project but at 2048x2048

so thats 11gbs + ~7gb vram

[tidal geyser]

dis how much system ram is used

[wheat torrent]

whats the gpu memory?

[wheat torrent]

bottom left

[tidal geyser]

ew 4/4

[frigid blade]

gear 2

its not so bad

[tidal geyser]

well no shit 5400MT

[wheat torrent]

whats gpu memory and shared gpu memory?

8.5/40gb what is that

[tidal geyser]

shared is system ram, and well the other is you know

[wheat torrent]

and 1.4/32

[wheat torrent]

where is the magic number of 40 coming from

[tidal geyser]

8+32

[random junco]

40

[wheat torrent]

ouuuhhhh

[tidal geyser]

you got 64GB of system ram my guy

half is allowed for the gpu to use

[wheat torrent]

lame

[wheat torrent]

my drivers are from 2024

[tidal geyser]

i saw that

[frigid blade]

does the 3070 not get anymore updates?

[tidal geyser]

have you not followed the news

[frigid blade]

i dont follow the news

[wheat torrent]

my shared gpu memory stays the same no matter what

[tidal geyser]

after 5000 drivers took a shat for all gpus

[frigid blade]

you mean the amount used or the amount total?

[lean cloud]

Is there a good place for a fourth case fan?

[wheat torrent]

but it does push stuff to ram

[random junco]

bottom

[wheat torrent]

yet it doesn't say that shared vram is used

[random junco]

you can put two at the bottom if u want to

[tidal geyser]

physics?

[lean cloud]

Facing up or down?

[tidal geyser]

wait is the front solid glass?

[lean cloud]

Yeah

[tidal geyser]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/634438385313775644/1073432582185816124/airflow3.gif

[random junco]

intake

[tidal geyser]

where is air meant to be coming from

[lean cloud]

From the top going towards the bottom

[tidal geyser]

physics?

[wheat torrent]

smoll cases smoll gpu huge case

10 fans

funny looking

[lean cloud]

Is that a question or

[random junco]

1 x 120mm fan ❌
10 x 12mm fan ✅

[tidal geyser]

kinda, what way does hot air go

[lean cloud]

I got a mini atx case but the cpu fan wouldn't fit

[wheat torrent]

also is this spacing normal

[tidal geyser]

that is not the issue here

[wheat torrent]

usually I remember there is no spacing between and it should fit 3 fans on top no?

nope nvm its 2 fans only

[wheat torrent]

nah I thought the case is much longer

but it just ends right there

[lean cloud]

Towards the back I guess

[tidal geyser]

2 140s

[tidal geyser]

i see someone got a F in physics

[wheat torrent]

hot air go uppppppp

hot air baloon

https://tenor.com/view/remax-hot-air-balloon-air-balloons-re-max-balloon-gif-7830103234535033840

[lean cloud]

Well oops

How do it do it the right way

[wheat torrent]

this is fan slots right

[tidal geyser]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/381193783296917507/1298397840980312085/airflow.gif

[trim gyro]

yup

[wheat torrent]

but it never made sense why there are fans slots there

[trim gyro]

not necessary if your GPU isn't throttling

[wheat torrent]

when its full of cables there and shit

[tidal geyser]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/634438385313775644/1073432582185816124/airflow3.gif

[lean cloud]

Yeah see the problem is I can't place a fan at the front because the front is glass

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/dance-hammertime-mc-hammer-gif-352549262400188015

[tidal geyser]

well good luck

[wheat torrent]

well it seems like you have all the fans that your case needs

I guess the only slots left is at the bottom but imo I dont see any point of putting fans there

if im wrong someone correct me!!

[tidal geyser]

if not hope bottom to top airflow is good nuf

[random junco]

air rises

[iron glen]

word?

[wheat torrent]

on my end I have my sata ssd and then a bunch of cables and then my psu so no airflow

[lean cloud]

Should I change the direction of the CPU fan too?

[wheat torrent]

to where

[lean cloud]

The front

[tidal geyser]

looks right

[wheat torrent]

air go out towards the back

[iron glen]

actually air doesn't rise, warm / hot air rises because its less dense or smth

[tidal geyser]

did you already forget this

[tidal geyser]

well yea

[spring latch]

@left dove water damage is fake the acer still works

[random junco]

even better

[tidal geyser]

water does not damage electronics

[random junco]

theres hot air in pc systems

[tidal geyser]

heat is just atoms moving faster

[wheat torrent]

can you put another fan on the cpu cooler?

[tidal geyser]

and atoms moving faster are further away from each other

[wheat torrent]

like that is the only other spot I can imagine

[random junco]

depends on the pressure!
tap water rate might not but jet hoses might

[spring latch]

stack them sure but it wont help

[tidal geyser]

no point

[wheat torrent]

ye

[spring latch]

condensation can, thats how my acer died, but after some work it fixed itself

[tidal geyser]

not what i was referring to.

[plush wren]

I need to rearrange my entire desk but idk whats the best way to do this

[random junco]

sorry king

[spring latch]

therefore water damage is actually fake

[tidal geyser]

its the other stuff in the water that kills electronics

[spring latch]

like theminerals

[tidal geyser]

its why when people have tried to test things with water and electricity they need to add salt or soap or something

[spring latch]

the PC im fucking withhere:
Celeron J4125
8GB DDR4 2400MHz
NVIDIA GeForce GT 730 (2GB)

[random junco]

so modern

[spring latch]

the GT 730 is the only reson it isnt preforming like my will to live

[iron glen]

so in theory i could have a pc inside a literal fish tank if i used the pure water, distilled water i think its called

[random junco]

is this your MAIN pc

[spring latch]

nah my pentium silver n6000 is

[iron glen]

pure as in no minerals, iron, ect

[plush wren]

Bro wtf is wrong with my monitor arm, when I move my monitor, the arm goes with it

[spring latch]

even distilled water has too many minerals still

[tidal geyser]

well yea

[tidal geyser]

reverse osmosis and such i think maybe could

[iron glen]

hydrogen is flammable i think

[plush wren]

Distilled water doesnt contain minerals?

[stable beacon]

how can anyone explain how to get extremely low fps with very little cpu/gpu usage (btd6)

[tidal geyser]

Hindenburg

[iron glen]

why would you want that

[iron glen]

oh

[random junco]

fps cap

[tidal geyser]

he is at 8 fps

[random junco]

set it to 5

[stable beacon]

for true masochists, i ran cs2 with a gpu from 2006 and it worked at the amazing resolution of 1200x900

[spring latch]

the only reason this motherboard fits in my Gateway DX 4770 case is because Gateway is Acer since 2009 or so and somehow the modern mini ATX boards align just right with the old mini ATX cases

[random junco]

bros tryna afk farm

or whatever

[stable beacon]

it's usually 144 at the start of the game, so my only guess is entity count

[kindred halo]

I ran War Thunder on a laptop that went to ~90° 24/7 under any load that wasn't a single tab at 768p

Had a "stable" 30fps

[stable beacon]

it's intentional. they havent changed atx since 1995 altho theyve tried with btx

[kindred halo]

Dipped into the high 20s whenever

[spring latch]

i remember my i3 8130U, its like one of those CPUs that sucks but doesnt

[kindred halo]

It stops at whenever because it literally just goes to 20 fps randomly

[kindred halo]

It's definitely a huge stepup from the 7100u

[stable beacon]

i dont have a hardware issue i just think its optimization for me

[spring latch]

it even beats the i5 7200U

[kindred halo]

I won't include the 7600u because as we all know that's just an i3 7100U in disguise

[fringe prairie]

7100u damn i have an inspiron with that
never got an ssd for it though idk why

[kindred halo]

Mhm, although both 2 core

[lean cloud]

Does this make more sense

[tidal geyser]

7100u is still more then fine

[kindred halo]

I have a laptop with a 7600u, probably barely any difference in performance

[tidal geyser]

not really considering dust

[kindred halo]

Front intake is best

[stable beacon]

no front fans?? also the fan is pushing out the back like it typically should

[tidal geyser]

solid glass

[lean cloud]

It's glass

[kindred halo]

Oh

[stable beacon]

you can't side fan them?

[spring latch]

alr thats weird the PC dies but ethernet activity doesnt and then the PC turns on, water damage is NOT fake people, but the PC still works

[shell axle]

hey, I remember that LTT did a "I built a custom Laptop vid" a while back how feasiable is that really? To build your own laptop I mean. Not looking for something thats really "portable per say" just would like to be able to pack it up and take it with me every once in a while

[stable beacon]

are your side holes just for cable management i can't tell

[random junco]

what about them framework laptops

[lean cloud]

These are the only spots where fans can be placed

[stable beacon]

actually i should move my bottom fans... i've been lazy

[spring latch]

I guarentee within 5 mins this PC will shut itself off again, water damage is funni

[random junco]

dont turn it on then

[spring latch]

im going to keep turning it on, it doesnt deserve a life anyways and im givint it one anyways

i did leave it to dry for about 12 hrs tho dont worry

[stable beacon]

the only way i can see is a top down setup but i havent seen vertical cpu coolers in forever altho technically its possible

[azure topaz]

12 hours is not enough 💀

[random junco]

sigh

48 hours then hand dry everything

[azure topaz]

pc actively saving itself from dying
user keeps turning it on
"omg why is my computer dead"

[spring latch]

well BEFORE I have it about 24 hours, then cleaned it with alcohol, let it dry for 12 more

[sour quest]

Listen guys I am buying tommorow is an am5 A series motherboard igpu bulid worth it over last gen

[lean cloud]

But the power supply is in the way

[random junco]

im having a seizure

[spring latch]

it didnt really get far with the condensation, the board wasnt really wet so i left it overall

[random junco]

dihh, i dont know what youre saying but i saw igpu. please. dont buy an igpu

[stable beacon]

wait you cant stick the bottom fans on top of the floor?

[lean cloud]

I can but wouldn't the airflow be blocked by the power supply

Two spots

[stable beacon]

i mean, i havent fully optimized it myself so who am i to say but usually the psu pulls air from the bottom so it has its own system

[random junco]

someone offered £65 for my 5600x
its listed for 89.99

im accepting them in their dreams

[stable beacon]

i paid 2.5x for that right before 7000 came out 😭

[lean cloud]

It does but would the power supply physically block it

[random junco]

yikess i got mine for £50 on ali express 😭

[stable beacon]

idk about your case but the front bottom one should be free

[shell axle]

perhaps, was more thinking that I really just want a semi portable tower tho

[clever burrow]

wb 500 new

[tidal geyser]

joking?

[clever burrow]

nope

[tidal geyser]

sounds like it

[azure topaz]

u get hella garbage for 500 new is what goes down

[tidal geyser]

there is a reason i make budget computers

[clever burrow]

then ill buy the gpu for my 1300 build

[tidal geyser]

800$ in Norway gets you a igpu build, 800 from me gets you a 5800X and 2080 super with 2TB of nvme storage

[lean cloud]

No I get that I can put the case fans these I'm just worried about the fan not being able to pull air properly because the power supply is in the way

[spring latch]

its been 5 mins the pc still live

i think we good'

[stable beacon]

nvidia be like what prices go up must stay up and climb higher for next gen

[random junco]

a 350 used pc could be better than a 500 new

[stable beacon]

does your case have bottom holes at least

[lean cloud]

It does yeah

[stable beacon]

i think they should suck in the air and create a vacuum to force it in anyway

[kindred halo]

Uuuuh
A slap on the wrist & the face

Up it by 100 dollars and you have a majority new build

[clever burrow]

im just gonna save for the 1300 one i have

[kindred halo]

Alright then

[tidal geyser]

why not just buy a used pc

[clever burrow]

because i can save and work for it

[lean cloud]

Wait no lmao

[clever burrow]

and my laptop rn works but its got like 6 months to a year max

[lean cloud]

There's a mesh thing in the back

[tidal geyser]

buy used pc now, save up then sell it buy new better pc or you know upgrades people upgrades

[shell axle]

in a simlar situation

[clever burrow]

its starting to get laggy on roblox

[tidal geyser]

specs

[shell axle]

oooph

[clever burrow]

where do i buy used pcs that wont brick in a month

[tidal geyser]

any used market place and a brain

[clever burrow]

i needa check but its the dell g15 5511

[tidal geyser]

that is 12th and 11th gen

those are GOOD

[shell axle]

I did get a good deal on a used macbook last year

[tidal geyser]

well good nuf

[kindred halo]

Poor thing is probably choking and thermal throttling to be doing this bad

UHD 770 (if 12th) is more than capable

So is UHD 630

[clever burrow]

still getting laggy

[shell axle]

Could be or there might be a diff bottle neck like ram

[tidal geyser]

replace thermal paste and sounds like fan is fucked

[clever burrow]

my right fan actually just doesnt work

[shell axle]

oh lol

that might be it

[kindred halo]

Hmm I wonder why it's doing bad

Get it cleaned up, fan replaced

[tidal geyser]

perhaps replace it?

[clever burrow]

i had my screen worked on and the support assist comes up whenever i boot and it doesnt respond

[clever burrow]

might be a good idea honestly

[shell axle]

yeah it would be like a buying a new pc but for afraction of cost

[azure topaz]

how to speed up surface pro with 2 core

how to ram overclock surface pro tablet 2 core

[tidal geyser]

i would say linux

but lubuntu was shitting the bed harder then windows

[azure topaz]

linux on a surface? yeah bro no driver is working

[tidal geyser]

well my touchscreen was already broken

[azure topaz]

what about faceid and the ambient light sensors and allat

[clever burrow]

yea im not hearing no noise coming from it 😭

[tidal geyser]

you can do it

just not stock needs some work

[azure topaz]

can is a strong and powerful boy my simulation

[tidal geyser]

but you can do it

[shell axle]

I'd guess there is a non zero amount of serfaces pro running linux so there must be some support

[azure topaz]

easier or harder than using the w10 surface image and using that for w11 drivers

[clever burrow]

itd be fine to replace it myself or nah

[azure topaz]

probably

iz fan you just unplug it and put new one in

[clever burrow]

u right

[shell axle]

https://linuxvox.com/blog/linux-for-surface-pro/

[azure topaz]

might have to take off the heatsink for that tho

[clever burrow]

and if i fuck up it already doesnt work so

[azure topaz]

so buy thermal paste

[clever burrow]

alr

[tidal geyser]

ofc

i have worked with electronics too much

its so hard to see for people new to working on em how hard it can be

im sitting over here flashing things with custom firmware while others do not know what screw to use for their fans

[azure topaz]

i feel like a fan is a good starting point

[tidal geyser]

yea

[azure topaz]

i dont like mobile devices period but you take what you can get

[tidal geyser]

only issue is with some laptops there can be A LOT of steps

[azure topaz]

yeah :/ look up guides

[tidal geyser]

i do not :3

its rare i look at guides now a days for repairs but doing stuff like flashing i kinda need to since it was my first time

but now i will see if i can do it without looking up anything

[clever burrow]

ive taken the back off before its just a couple screws

[tidal geyser]

good luck with the screws

flawless

[spring latch]

alright i think the celeron J is stable,now im just gonna give it another OS

probably arch

[waxen shell]

The mods hate the 1988 film “beetlejuice”

[bleak ledge]

I don't think any current online service will let you go anywhere near these speeds

Maybe Steam might, but most CPUs will struggle first

[tidal geyser]

if you need to decompress

[bleak ledge]

True

I struggle to saturate my 1 gigabit connection with how conservative upload limite are on OneDrive

And I'm lucky to use 100 megabits with Discord

[craggy cove]

rip, two 2400mhz cl17 sticks dont work together cause one is samsung and one is micron

it worked for a day, randomly, then blue screened and never worked again

i believe ram doesn't abide by natural forces

also now i got a blue screen with a single stick and im finding sfc /scannow violations?

nice

[unique solstice]

which 5070ti would you guys go for (both same price) Gainward Phoenix or the MSI VENTUS 3X OC ?

[tidal geyser]

cheapest

[unique solstice]

$5 difference

between the 2

[bitter crater]

gainward seems to have 4 models named 5070ti Phoenix, the one with fastest clocks is same clockspeed as the msi

so i would go with the msi

[tidal geyser]

that does nothing for performance

[bitter crater]

true, but im also put off by the fact that they have 4 models with same name with slightly different specs

[plush wren]

10/10 design

omg
i thought it was vertical

[azure topaz]

💀

[fringe prairie]

phoenix

ventus has shitass cooling

[unique solstice]

ok ty

[thin sigil]

anyone know a monitor arm that can support 3x ASUS ROG Strix XG27ACDNG 27"

[rigid fjord]

no single arm will do that, it's pretty much 3 separate arms, or a dual arm mount with an added extra

[night coral]

Any recommends for a b tier 650w psu from the spl tier list ? Im unable to check for myself cause the spreadsheet is bad on mobile and im at work ty guys sm

Im planning on using a 9060xt + 9600x should I get more than 650w in case we swap the gpu later on?

[steel umbra]

that’s actually neat

the dongle won’t fall off as easily

[fast girder]

So I was recommended here yesterday a laptop with a ryzen 5 pro 5650u, but I can't find any gaming or any reviews online, does anyone know it something like that could play Roblox? Minecraft? Maybe even do mid settings 1080 144?

[trim gyro]

that's like oddly specific

[plush wren]

yea but i thought it was vertical and i was trying to pull it up

😭 😭

[night coral]

Says couldn't find the item :(

Also canadian sry forgot to mention

[tidal geyser]

ez

but mate you only got like a 200$ budget aint no gaming laptops for that

its just a laptop with a good nuf igpu for most basic games

[high steppe]

Ive got 2 questions,,, is it possible to upgrade the intake fans in the Lenovo loq 16aph8 ( the CPU has been reaching a sustained a high 90c sometimes 100c temps and im not comfortable with it getting so hot, especially when I take it out of my desk.)
If not, is there anyway to undervolt the power draw so it's not just nukeing itself.

And the second question, what recommendations do you guys have for a 1440p monitor within a £300 pound budget which is 27" or above

[steel umbra]

did you clean dust and repaste the loq?

[tidal geyser]

SUPERB

WHOOOOOHOOO

[steel umbra]

what is dis

[high steppe]

not yet, i've mainly been leaving my laptop on battery saver mode which keeps it around 55 degrees when gaming and a little lower idle.

with the mode off, just idling with nothing open the cpu starts drawing 40w and just stays at 80

[plush wren]

Superb skoda

[steel umbra]

do that and that should improve your temps if they used to be lower

zen 4 has rated temp for 95c and the 7640hs specifically is rated for 100c max operating temp

[high steppe]

its always kinda run that not, ( not as extreme as the 100 but still

[steel umbra]

so, 95c and under is fine

[high steppe]

i've got the 7840

[tidal geyser]

same

since its the same cpu well i think mo cores

its the same generation at least

im gonna go back to rhyming

[steel umbra]

yeah so just dust off your laptop from the inside, repaste it and if your temps stay below 95c after that you’re good

buy like oem pcm8000 series pcm or legit ptm7950 from thermal grizzly

or tg duronaut, or other high performance non conductive pastes, check igor’s lab paste testing

[fringe prairie]

1. pretty typical for a laptop to reach 90-95C, maybe repaste or set power limits (could also disable turbo using LLT)
2. maybe r27q-e or q27g3mxn

[steel umbra]

i think there are newer budget hdr aoc monitors than the g3xmn

[vital gyro]

This combo feels illegal with the 3 7800s.

[unborn condor]

so per the dilemma earlier about my constant hypervisor crashes, a friend recommended I do an sfc /scannow and I did, it said it wasn't able to fix "some of them" in regards corrupted files, and instead has a log. what should I do, now?

[gusty basin]

why is my screen black when i try to screenshot in game

[unique solstice]

anyone know some good micro atx motherboards for the Ryzen 9 9950X?

[bitter rampart]

Anyone know what component goes here

This one fell off after the drive stopped working, I pulled it from one of those extreme enclosures

[clear canyon]

Ur drive is fucked, get a new one

Unless you know how to solder

[tidal geyser]

O NOOOOO

[tidal geyser]

that chip looks burnt

[tidal geyser]

reinstall windows

[unborn condor]

what makes you think that it was a faulty windows 11 install? I did have to install it recently for work (honestly I wouldn't know how to reinstall windows 11 regardless since I just downloaded it from the website itself)

[clear canyon]

When the os does not work

[unborn condor]

i did do the "bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto" command in CMD, i'm hoping that does it

[unborn condor]

But is it the entire OS that's the issue?

[clear canyon]

Looks to be

[tidal geyser]

are you going to replace the individual files that have issues by hand?

[unborn condor]

How can you tell from the command prompt?

[unborn condor]

It won't tell me what the issues are. I don't even know how to reinstall windows 11

[clear canyon]

You dont

[unborn condor]

I don't have to lose my data and stuff, do I?

[tidal geyser]

or just try the thing above it

[clear canyon]

Back it up

[bitter rampart]

It's not it has the thermal pad residue on it

[tidal geyser]

but its backed up?

well unless your dumb enough not to have a backup

[clear canyon]

Its dead, gonna need to get a new one

[bitter rampart]

I'm gonna solder a new cap on it

[tidal geyser]

might i ask why a SMD component is missing?

[unborn condor]

... :/

[bitter rampart]

It's sitting right next to it

It's crispy

[tidal geyser]

but how

[bitter rampart]

Idk I was gently wiping off the thermal pad remains and uh, it just fell off

[fringe prairie]

download the iso flash it to a usb and boot from usb via the bios

[clear canyon]

Im having major deja vu

[bitter rampart]

I wasn't applying any pressure so I'm assuming that cap is why the drive is not functioning

[tidal geyser]

were you piping it off with a screw driver

[unborn condor]

I'm going to try doing this first

[tidal geyser]

welp its 2am and i should sleep

[clear canyon]

Its not a capacitor

[tidal geyser]

yay only 21c

well 21.8c inside

adios

[bitter rampart]

Soft Nylon paint brush and isopropyl

[clear canyon]

58c or nothin

[bitter rampart]

What is it then

[unborn condor]

what do you guys use for backup?

[bitter rampart]

Here's the top part of the component that fell off

Now it does look bubbled to me

[plain cypress]

Hard drives

[clear canyon]

Its apart of the PMIC

[bitter rampart]

Wdym

How is it a part of it when it has its own pads

[clear canyon]

Solder broke

[clear canyon]

Pmic means power management integrated circuit

[bitter rampart]

If I replace this chip there is a chance everything will work

The component I mean

[clear canyon]

Maybe, but good luck doing that

[bitter rampart]

It was in one of those stupid SanDisk extreme portable SSD things, which I found out the hard way they have very minimal protection from the USB c port to the drive

[clear canyon]

You shouldn't of been wiping it off tbh

There isnt a need

[bitter rampart]

I wanted to see the components and they were all covered in it
