Tech that's older than I am

[sand epoch]

does having those high end sd 990 ssd give any major advantages over the basic crucial ssds?

[cold skiff]

For gaming? Not really no

[sand epoch]

oh alright

[ivory mountain]

$40-$50

[cold skiff]

Hardware unboxed did a thing on it recently. SSD gens etc

[dawn tundra]

Way too low

[cold skiff]

Basically if you have 3500write/read you’re not going to notice anything all that much

[sand epoch]

should I just pick the wd black? it's faster than the samsung evo one

[sand epoch]

is 2k too low?

[cold skiff]

The sn7100 is perfect tbh

The PCIe 5.0 is not gonna make any difference to gaming. To productivity perhaps, file transfers sure. Otherwise just get the gen4

[sand epoch]

it matches the sd 990 pro speed for 50% less price , im picking the sn7100 then

[ivory mountain]

I’m so tired I thought this was usd for a second

[cold skiff]

I mean the 990 has worse read and write speeds also. And pixie 5.0 x2 (same bandwidth as PCIe 4.0 x4). So you’d be paying for a lesser drive with Samsung

Neither have dram - if you’re gaming again, it makes zero difference

[deft raven]

hello, i have a problem where windows explorer freezes everytime i try to open any compressed file, i tried using WinRar and 7zip it still freezes everytime i click on open

[cold skiff]

Yeah don’t buy those.

[sand epoch]

maybe u got corrupt system files?

[deft raven]

i tried using SFC and it says that nothing is corrupted

[cold skiff]

I don’t recognise the brand and making ya pc look pretty should be secondary

[sand epoch]

i mean that black thing is

[cold skiff]

Performance before pretty

[strange atlas]

look under the bluescreen what does it say

[hexed tapir]

Hi Ian

[grim sparrow]

like the automatic repair bluescreen

[strange atlas]

is that even a bluescreen

Is your pc crashing or not

[proper gull]

Do not use an extension for that. Get a normal cable of the correct length

[sand epoch]

huh

[hexed tapir]

The name and some info of your address is on the top bar of your screen shot

[proper gull]

Oh yeah nice area code and name there bud

[sand epoch]

oh

[sand epoch]

I want it white

what should I do then

[proper gull]

There are white cables that aren't extensions

[cold skiff]

Sleeve it

[sand epoch]

what should I search

[proper gull]

I'm not here to spoon-feed you

[sand epoch]

google is showing same results

[violet kraken]

anyone else had this problem? when i click check for update it searches for a bit then just goes back to saying this

[cursive pendant]

3060 Ti for $214, fair price?

[formal sonnet]

Yup. I had to perform an in place upgrade reinstall through the recovery menu in settings to upgrade from 23H2 to 24H2.

[buoyant bridge]

Hypothetically I remove the backlight from the panel and make it into a temp display right here

If you take out the diffuser and backlight light shines through it

[violet kraken]

so you just reinstalled windows through recovery and it updated?

alright ill try that tonight then thats so annoying though but if it works whatever lol

[buoyant bridge]

Found a good way to mount it

Plastic removed

THIS IS SO COOL WHAT

[steel umbra]

light

i see bit of 600nm, 550mm and 500nm

[buoyant bridge]

not as cool with the backlight on

Guess I'm removing the backlight

okay now this is cool

[jaunty apex]

https://tenor.com/view/linux-kernel-compression-gameing-windows96-gif-16467548442967153893

[buoyant bridge]

input wise I'd need to invert it I think?

white = light let through black = block

YEAH LOL

Okay this is fucking AWESOME

Here's an LCD losing power btw

[hexed tapir]

Wall of photos

[sand epoch]

why are intel CPUs hated

i have a 12400 and it works fine

[jaunty apex]

Because it's a 12th gen.

[grizzled frost]

expensive, power hungry, and performs worse per watt and per dollar

[idle vessel]

compared to amd

regardless that is very dependant on which cpus you’re talking about form both sides so a pretty stupid statement

[last knot]

huh, neat

[last knot]

ye, my 265k does like 350W with turbo oc when stress testing lol

[formal sonnet]

I haven't heard of this. There's the whole meme about 13/14th Gen Intel CPUs having defective micro code that causes them to fry earlier than normal, but otherwise the best CPU is on that lets you accomplish what you need to get done.

[left dove]

have you heard of our lord & savior chuck testa?

[robust forum]

13-14th gen mainly.

[leaden grotto]

how cooked is this lmao, my graphics card is only 128mb 🤣

[last knot]

that's just the allocated ram for your igpu

[leaden grotto]

ahh

[last knot]

it'll use more if needed

[leaden grotto]

[trim gyro]

$400 or so

[ivory mountain]

350-425

[fading fulcrum]

I recognize the Gen4 NVME vs Gen5 value offering. That aside, I'm looking to see if anyone has recommendations for good Gen5 NVME SSD with solid enough durability and ones that don't overheat ridiculously.

Ideally want to run them on mobo heatsink or in a hyper m.2 card with the little fan in it.

[hexed sage]

Guys

[latent pasture]

why do u need gen5 tho

[hexed sage]

Can you help me 😭

I think my PC is gone

[sinful cobalt]

gen5 is thermal throttling space

[hexed sage]

Oh no my pc

#1027757333117415424

[violet kraken]

does anyone know a fix other than resetting my pc i really dont want to reinstall all my applications thats terrible

[formal sonnet]

I never had to reinstall...

[violet kraken]

oh maybe im doing the wrong thing then

this right?

[formal sonnet]

Reset this PC is NOT a repair reinstall... See this link.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/fix-issues-by-reinstalling-the-current-version-of-windows-497ac6da-7cac-4641-82a5-f50398d879a0

[leaden grotto]

1k maybe

[violet kraken]

ohh that but wont that just reinstall 22h2

[formal sonnet]

Yes, but it may also fix whatever is preventing updates from installing... As it did on my system.

[violet kraken]

alr

[formal sonnet]

Remember to ensure you've tested your latest backup, just in case. You never know when something might go wrong.

[acoustic quiver]

im running a stress test on my cpu and im gettin 93C is that normal

[fading fulcrum]

Im aware the value prop isn't there right now. It's for someone im building for. Just looking for solid options. From people with experience running or testing these drives.

[fading fulcrum]

Yeah I recently had these Kingston G5s come in and the temps seemed solid under a mobo heatsink. But curious what other people have ran

[trim gyro]

Depends on the CPU, for AMD, 95C is the throttle point, so 93C is fine

[acoustic quiver]

intel

[trim gyro]

which one

[acoustic quiver]

i7 14700k

[trim gyro]

Full stress test?

93C is very good

[acoustic quiver]

yes maximum

on prime 95

[trim gyro]

you have pretty good cooling

[acoustic quiver]

i optimized my fan curves so thats prolly why

[trim gyro]

if you aren't using a contact frame, using one can decrease your temps more, up to like 8C-12C

[acoustic quiver]

i will look into it never heard of it

i still need to upgrade my mother board because i cant oc my cpu

[terse crane]

I was curious, as I recently upgraded my GPU from a 1650 Super to a 5070TI. How much performance am I leaving on the table not being able to run the 5070TI at PCIE gen 5 since I am still on AM4? Would it be a noticeable improvement whenever I inevitably go to AM5?

[azure topaz]

youre leaving more performance on the table because of your slow stinky am4 cpu

[violet kraken]

worked for me aswell, thanks for the help

[leaden grotto]

is it normal for laptop cpu to have random temperature spikes?

[frigid topaz]

Is there an app i can use to stress test cpu?

[acoustic quiver]

prime 95

[ivory mountain]

occt

[acoustic quiver]

are you running anything?

[leaden grotto]

just basic usage

[frigid topaz]

Thx

[left dove]

its fine

[pulsar horizon]

lol my 265k gets to 105 when I’m running OCCT, I think that’s okay

[grizzled frost]

not okay, that’s thermal throttling

[raw whale]

ltt vid said to try M3 screws for the standoffs because theyre smaller, and thewn 6/32, and that it depends on case man ufacter which one you should use, but if thbe screws are given to us by the case, why would they not give us the right ones'

[grizzled frost]

you should use the ones included with your case

[raw whale]

yeah but my case gives me both m3 and 6/32

[grizzled frost]

check your manual

[raw whale]

mobo or case?

[grizzled frost]

case

mobo doesn’t care what thread it is

[raw whale]

mobo says nothing case i gave a glance and didnt see

it only said PH2

[grizzled frost]

try the above advice then

[raw whale]

put m3 and then 6/32?

[unreal geode]

wait

[grizzled frost]

looks like your case manufacturer is really lazy and didn’t both giving just the required screws

[raw whale]

its fractal lol

[unreal geode]

something aint right

[grizzled frost]

am i looking at a mirror

[unreal geode]

i randomly switched to the ltt server and i see this

[grizzled frost]

i feel like i’m talking to myself

[raw whale]

doesnt say which screw to use unless im blind

unless 3/16 is m3

[unreal geode]

i have never seen another iroh

[grizzled frost]

i’ve seen other irohs before

there’s another server i’m in that has 3 including myself

[unreal geode]

what kind of server

[vital marlin]

i have an 1800x and 1070ti, should i update just the GPU or do both?

[unreal geode]

id say both

[vital marlin]

i was thinking 9070 or better GPU, what would you do for CPU?

[shut eagle]

both, if you wanna stay on am4 get a 5700x3d, and a 9060xt if you're on a pretty tight budget

AM5 is still, somewhat expensive but the 7600x3d would be a great upgrade

along with the 9070 or better lol

[vital marlin]

im in canada, so im expecting to play 1200+ for gpu, overall budget could be 3-4K CAD

[shut eagle]

there's this one corsair kit that runs at 6000 MT/s CL30 and it's the best price-to-performance ram rn i think

oh dude you're ballin

9070xt for sure then

[vital marlin]

It has to push 4kx1440p ultra wide plus 2x 1440p secondaries

[shut eagle]

if your current 1070ti is doing that the 9070xt is gonna be one hell of an upgrade lmfao

[vital marlin]

oh it also has to mini itx micro tower

[shut eagle]

😃 oh!

[vital marlin]

i tried the bf6 beta weekend. currently i had to play on a single regular 1440p monitor on the lowest possible settings to get 50fps

[unique solstice]

Can someone recommend a laptop for my friend? He needs a laptop that will be used for autocad and solidworks. Budget is around £1000.

[vital marlin]

maybe look at asus zehyrus or msi studio models? not sure whats available in UK

[calm idol]

have you used the ingame fps counter? that one broke down what kinda latencies/fps the gpu and cpu had. for me the cpu is the hard bottleneck atm

[vital marlin]

everything is a bottleneck for a 1070ti and 1800x with 16gb of ram

would love recommendations for mini itx AM5 mobos

[winged token]

What's the budget and use cases?

[shut eagle]

jesus

[raw whale]

is my standoff supposed to be like this (covered)

[trim gyro]

ASRock B850I lightning

[raw whale]

on the right theres a normal one

[vital marlin]

enthusiast, usb-c native, prefer under 500CAD (~380USD) but will spend what it takes to make it a long term solution. I build a new computer every 7-9 years so i build it to last

[vital marlin]

is it the center one? if so yes some cases use the center one as an alignment pin with no screw

[raw whale]

ok

so i dont need to screw it?

[vital marlin]

if you are using a motherboard where that is not the center one ( a itx mobo in an atx case) you should use a screw one. but if you have and will use 8 others with screws its fine.

[raw whale]

alr its an atx

[vital marlin]

then you're gucchi

[raw whale]

yep peak

[vital marlin]

yeah this old beast isnt doing so hot. also 10xx gpus stop getting updates this fall so its time for something new

[raw whale]

whats a ball cacther for

it came in my case accessory

[vital marlin]

???

[raw whale]

it literally called "ball catcher"

[vital marlin]

case model and maybe a pic would be useful

[raw whale]

epoch

its in the package with HDD stuff damper

if that helps

[vital marlin]

ohhhhhhhhh lol thats really what they are calling that?

[winged token]

Seem like you need something tough

[raw whale]

well theres the rubber circles and then theres a "ball catcher"

[sinful cobalt]

x870

i at the back didnt see above context

[vital marlin]

its the clip that holds the ball on a stick shaped pins that hold panels on to the case (probably side and front). they break sometimes so they ship it with the spare

[raw whale]

i just tried, both seem to work, but 6/32 seems to fit a bit better

i got 8x 6/32 and 16 m3 if that makes y'all think of a reason

[vital marlin]

maybe this helps? from factal product page specs

Accessory Box content (Solid/TG/RGB)
PSU screws — 4 pcs., Motherboard screws — 8 pcs., Motherboard standoff — 1 pc., SSD screws —16 pcs., HDD screws — 8 pcs., HDD rubber — 8 pcs., Ball catcher — 1 pc., Zip ties — 4 pcs.

[raw whale]

yep it does cause M3 are for SSD since it says 16 pcs and 8 for mobo thanks

[vital marlin]

but you should have a different 8 that are for HDD

[dull orchid]

first time I see a 5080 at canadian MSRP, took them a while xD

[raw whale]

yep that too but in the box it specifically says HDD screw meanwhile other 2 said mounting screws

didnt say what was for SSD and mobo

[vital marlin]

gotcha

i think i m gonna end up doing and all white all AMD build

[sand epoch]

what about 12th gen

[tender sail]

https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/ssds/latest-windows-11-security-patch-might-be-breaking-ssds-under-heavy-workloads-users-report-disappearing-drives-following-file-transfers-including-some-that-cannot-be-recovered-after-a-reboot

Can somebody verify if this is true

Like this sounds absolutely fucked up if it's true, due to KB5063878

[formal sonnet]

Still waiting for official word from Microsoft or SSD manufacturers to say something about it.

[tender sail]

Apparently it only affects Phison Controller chips.. apparently the SN850X doesn't have one, but someone said they got fucked over with their 1TB model

[quaint pulsar]

never installed an Am5 cpu, that shroud popping off scared teh shit out of me lol

[tidal geyser]

All lga CPUs have that

[haughty compass]

hey i have an issue where my computer bsod every few days with "system_service_exception" randomly

[hexed sage]

Red light mean bad?

[haughty compass]

i built it like a month ago and it started happening around a week after i built it

[vital marlin]

is a 9700x and a 9070 a good match?

[sinful cobalt]

yes

[vital marlin]

i need to figure out how it would perform playing games like bf 2042 and bf6 on 5120x1440 ultrawide

[sinful cobalt]

u def want to use FSR4 FG

[vital marlin]

actually i want to use native frames as much as possible. fake frames are a marketing scam

[sinful cobalt]

u do u ur not gonna have a good time without upscaling

hitting high fps

[vital marlin]

its less pixels than 4k

[sinful cobalt]

4k ultra ratracing FSR4 FG brought the 9070 to like 20 fps lmao

[vital marlin]

id turn raytracing down before turning up fake frames

and im coming from a 1070ti so its already gonna look way better

[sinful cobalt]

the 9070 is at best a midrange 1440p gpu natively

[vital marlin]

so i should go 9070xt?

[sinful cobalt]

yes

[vital marlin]

or hope a 9080 or 9070xtx comes this fall?

[sinful cobalt]

(it wont)

[vital marlin]

used or new?

[sinful cobalt]

this is like the 4th time you've posted this question

[cursive pendant]

used parts

[junior valve]

300$

[vital marlin]

take all the parts, put them in pcpartpicker or find the closest match, and then take 30% off

that would be my absolute max

[sinful cobalt]

💀

[vital marlin]

or if the parts look way out of wack price wise (becasue they are old or discontinued try to find the msrp or a historical price (maybe through camelcamelcamel) and use those prices

it feels like a ~$1000USD when all the parts were new so id pay max 600 for it now if they are used parts and not new in box old stock

[leaden grotto]

like 1k

[cursive pendant]

Well I did what you said in pcpp and it came out to $432

$618 - 30%

[sinful cobalt]

do 50% lmao those parts are old

[leaden grotto]

just do 1k, im the seller

[vital marlin]

there you go. that means you could go by new parts from a retailer with warranty for 618. theres no way i'd pay more than 450 cuz second hand they'll have no warranty

[leaden grotto]

btw did i overpaid for my laptop?

[sinful cobalt]

ts so old it has no warranty by default

its a $300 pc now

[vital marlin]

so doing the math on the pixels, its 90% the work of 4k monitor, so i should look for benchmarks at 4k and that will be in the ball park

[vital marlin]

mine must be 100$ then lol

[sinful cobalt]

i alr said ur not gonna have a good time lmao

[leaden grotto]

what bout the 9070xt

[sinful cobalt]

entry lvl 4k

[leaden grotto]

ur saying, the best gpu amd has rn is an entry level 4k

[sinful cobalt]

its high end 1440p ig

im just talking native not taking into account upscaling and fg

[leaden grotto]

what bout the 5080 then

[vital marlin]

yes i only count pure frames, no fake frames

[sinful cobalt]

5070ti is better value wise

[leaden grotto]

then 9070xt would be better value wise..

9070xt is at least $300 cheaper than the 5070ti

while providing almost similar perf, while only losing out in RT

[sinful cobalt]

yes im gonna say 5070ti and 5080 are entry level cards also not taking into account DLSS because everybody's perferences of quality are different

[leaden grotto]

actually has better raster perf

i see

ok just thought ur tryna bash on amd

[sinful cobalt]

i have a 9070xt

[leaden grotto]

nice

its prob the best value card this gen

[cosmic idol]

💔

[leaden grotto]

btw did i overpay for my laptop, paid like 1.4k usd for a 255H

[cosmic idol]

Unless you have an absolute need for a laptop you’re always over paying for a laptop in my opinion

[leaden grotto]

ah that's true

[strange atlas]

Is it possible to connect your wireless headphones to your desktop pc and use it 3.5 meters away from your pc and have not much delay i want to be able to watch movies

[cosmic idol]

What gpu?
What screen?
How much ram and storage

[cosmic idol]

If it has Bluetooth yes.

[leaden grotto]

no gpu rip
14.5" oled
32gb, 1tb

[cosmic idol]

😭

[strange atlas]

problem is i dont have a bluetooth

[sinful cobalt]

1.4k just for an unimpressive oled laptop LMAO

[cosmic idol]

Is it one of those headphones with a dongle orrrr

[strange atlas]

and apparently the dongle thingys makes a lot of lag

[leaden grotto]

ye laptop prices are crazy here

[strange atlas]

without dongle

[cosmic idol]

Sorry homie but uh.
Yeah.

[sinful cobalt]

u can get a bluetooth adapter or use the dongle thing

[leaden grotto]

laptops in US are so much cheaper compared to here

[cosmic idol]

Try and use it with the dongle
If it doesn’t work, get Bluetooth

[sinful cobalt]

i paid 1.2k sgd for mine having a 3k oled screen and a 8945hs so skill issue

[cosmic idol]

Then test it yourself.

[leaden grotto]

what model?

[sinful cobalt]

vivobook s16

[leaden grotto]

💀

[strange atlas]

the headphones doesnt have dongle i did try it with bluetooth dongle of somebody elses but it had like 1.5 seconds delay

[leaden grotto]

ye idk but u defo overpaid

[strange atlas]

headphones isnt the best though

[sinful cobalt]

singapore dollar not usd

[leaden grotto]

1. build quality on vivobook is bad
2. asus has known issues on laptop overheating after 1 - 2 years

[leaden grotto]

ye ik, asus is generally a bad purchase

[sinful cobalt]

im not gaming on this shit buddy

literally nobody else is doing oled laptops- even if they do their specs are shit

[leaden grotto]

it's not about gaming or not, it overheats after 1y due to their cooling mechanic

it's a widespread issue and asus refuses to do anything

[sinful cobalt]

i dont even like asus, this is strictly just for sch for some media consumption lmfao

[leaden grotto]

and their qc sucks which is another issue

[sinful cobalt]

stop yapping buddy i know

[leaden grotto]

ye u defo overpaid

asus is overpriced in sg while delivering bad quality

[sinful cobalt]

every laptop is basically overpriced

[leaden grotto]

when did u buy this

[sinful cobalt]

whatever the US price is just x2 it

[leaden grotto]

asus is usually moore pricey compared to acer for example

and even lenovo

[sinful cobalt]

acer is even more shit

[leaden grotto]

because asus sees themselves as a premium brand so they price their product at a higher range

[sinful cobalt]

and lenovo refuses to give more than 16gb ram in this price range

[leaden grotto]

but in reality ur just paying more for the brand ngl

[sinful cobalt]

I didnt even buy from asus lmfao

[leaden grotto]

?? wha-

i'm just saying asus laptops are generally more pricey in sg

[sinful cobalt]

its an open box item lmfao

asus is ovepriced in general

[leaden grotto]

damn

gg

how long ago u bought it

[sinful cobalt]

ur not gonna find 32gb oleds for 1.2k sgd 🤣

[leaden grotto]

maybe 1.4k is possible

[sinful cobalt]

1.2k SGD is better than 1.4k USD

[leaden grotto]

https://www.asus.com/sg/laptops/for-home/vivobook/asus-vivobook-s-16-oled-m5606/

this?

ah no wonder 1.2k, open box is usually cheaper

i wish u luck tho 🤣, asus returned by customer, anyone buying that has balls ngl

[sinful cobalt]

It fit all my requirements for a laptop lmao

[leaden grotto]

ik but like i said, asus is known for having issues

[sinful cobalt]

32gb ram, 512+GB SSD, lightweigh, OLED

Yeah and I dont use the laptop for anything else other than school

[leaden grotto]

just hope it doesnt fail

[sinful cobalt]

You said issues but didnt specify

[leaden grotto]

i literally already specified 2

bad qc & overheating issues after 1 - 2y

[sinful cobalt]

Dude, my opinion of asus is that anything asus is an issue

[leaden grotto]

these are all confirmed by a ton of people which ultimately why many communities* stopped recommending asus

[sinful cobalt]

Have you seen how thin the chassis is? its little wonder the thing is “overheating”

[leaden grotto]

it's not due to the chassis

it's some liquid or chemical asus use to cool their laptops

it works good at the start

[sinful cobalt]

Then Ill just grab PTM and repaste it later on lmao

[leaden grotto]

ye doesnt help too lol, people have tried it

[sinful cobalt]

Yay, you yapped to me about how a laptop I hardly use has 10 problems I expected since its from Asus!

[leaden grotto]

where do i buy ryzen 7 5700x3d its out of stock on amazon 😔

[rancid fox]

I wanna get a 5080. I have an option to buy only mid range models . My 2 last picks are Zotac Amp Extreme and Palit Gamerock non-OC. Im wondering which one should i buy. The gamerock is 2327BGN ≈ 1388$ and the zotac is 2479BGN ≈1478$. I really wanna buy the gamerock because i will have some money left to upgrade storage and etc. but im thinking that the palit is very low quality for some reason even tho this is their best model.Which one should i pick?

[merry dagger]

i bought 5070ti and now having regrets why didn't I buy 5080

[next hill]

that is really an am5 motherboard, yes yes, sarcasm

[earnest nymph]

Yes, but ipad OS does have alot more restrictions than the macbook air.

[earnest nymph]

I would say buy the gamerock one. But if i may ask, what cpu are you using

[boreal vine]

bruhhhhh

😭 where's my macbook

Is it for gaming or productivity, and have you bought it?

[rancid fox]

Both. Ive had it for 3 months now

No issues no throttling or overheating

[earnest nymph]

Ok good, if you already have it good

[rancid fox]

Got it for cheap

370 usd

[earnest nymph]

Damm

[rancid fox]

New with warranty too

[magic mirage]

Hi im trying to format my 2tb drive but it dont show up in gparded its pluged in to correct sata and power ports

[earnest nymph]

My friend got a 12900ks for 250 from a mom and pop pc store

[summer crater]

You may have accidentally deleted a partition.

[summer crater]

Sorry Iam blind

[magic mirage]

How do I make a new one?

[summer crater]

Diskpart

[summer crater]

Or anything else

[magic mirage]

It wont show upn

[summer crater]

Yeah dont open it with windows file explorer

[magic mirage]

Im not in windows and when i plug it in in windows it frezzes the whole Explorer

[earnest nymph]

Are you trying to dual boot?

[magic mirage]

No

Its an extra 2tb drive for extra files

[earnest nymph]

Oh

[magic mirage]

Maybe the drive is dead

[earnest nymph]

Is it a 2..5 inch ssd or a m.2 drive

[magic mirage]

2.5

[earnest nymph]

Maybe unplug and replug the cables

[magic mirage]

Tried that

[summer crater]

If you are using linux, I dont underastand many things in linux

[magic mirage]

Its just a recovery tool

[summer crater]

Oh

[earnest nymph]

I have no idea ab ssds

Athough it could be a dead drive

[magic mirage]

Ive tried a sata to usb adapter but it did not work

[magic mirage]

Ima try anoter drive to see if its the cables

[earnest nymph]

Yeah then somethings wrong with the ssd probably

[summer crater]

Try using disk/drive manager in windows

[earnest nymph]

If that doesnt work then the drive is defekt

[magic mirage]

Its sad i dont wanna download around 20gb of guitar hero songs

[summer crater]

What 😭

[earnest nymph]

What in the avocado toast fucktopus

[earnest nymph]

Just use a fucking usb drive or smth

[summer crater]

https://www.wikihow.com/Create-a-Partition

[magic mirage]

Only one i have is 8gb and its for os installs

[earnest nymph]

Fair

[earnest nymph]

A 32gb usb stick costs as much as a big mac combo

[magic mirage]

My 150gb hdd works so its the drive and not the cables

[earnest nymph]

Then the drives fucked

[magic mirage]

Its was 60$ and bought 4years ago

[earnest nymph]

Idk man, but its the drive

Try it on another pc

[magic mirage]

Only other pc i have is a laptop with windows xp

Or a chromebook

[cursive pendant]

Saw this PC on marketplacec with no GPU, whats a good price for it?

-Intel I7 10700K CPU
-ASUS TUF GAMING Z590-PLUS WIFI Motherboard
-G.SKILL 32GB 2X16 D4 3200 RIPJAWS
-1 x 1TB PLATINUM QLC NVME SSD

-Cooler Master Hyper 212 Pro aRGB CPU Air Cooler
-MAINGEAR Vybe RGB Tempered Glass ATX Mid-Tower Gaming Computer Case
EVGA 850GA 80+G FM ATX PSU

[earnest nymph]

Ima say. 450

[earnest nymph]

Chromebook works

[normal blade]

You can run Linux apps on a Chromebook

[earnest nymph]

Isnt ChromeOS a type of linux

[normal blade]

Yea

But to actually run Linux applications you have to do it through Crostini

[earnest nymph]

My grandma has a chromebook

Its was like 1000 bucks

[magic mirage]

school book

[normal blade]

Rip

[normal blade]

Pixelbook?

[earnest nymph]

Try the windows XP laptop

[magic mirage]

its temp the windows laptops comes next week

[earnest nymph]

I have no idea, all i know is that it has a i3

[magic mirage]

11th gen i5

[normal blade]

1k for an i3 is wild

[earnest nymph]

She got it from those sketchy tech stores that overcharge aton

I tolt

I told her, its like spending 10000 bucks on a bicycle

[cursive pendant]

What the actual hell

You know what your grandmother could've done with that band

couldve gave 70% to me and put 30% towards that laptop

[normal blade]

Is it at least touchscreen?

[magic mirage]

anyone know any good cheap sata ssds with many gbs i have no nvme slots left

[normal blade]

Should I get a bypassed iPad 6th gen for 27 bucks? Need an iPad for school for as little as possible

[magic mirage]

what bypassed mean

[normal blade]

I think it was iCloud locked and the iCloud lock was bypassed

[earnest nymph]

The fuck

[magic mirage]

whats the latest ios on 6th gen

[earnest nymph]

whaf is a bypassed one

[normal blade]

17

[magic mirage]

thats ok

27 is good if it works

[earnest nymph]

Fair, but shes rich, so she dont care

[normal blade]

My lil sis has an air 2 with 15, still fine for school

[earnest nymph]

I have a refurbished air 4

[magic mirage]

what does this mean

[earnest nymph]

Works like a charm and got it for 50

[normal blade]

HOW TF

[earnest nymph]

Bisnes bisnes

[normal blade]

even an air 3 is at least a hundred

6th gen seems to be fairly capable

Has stylus support

Can be jailbroken too

[true stirrup]

You either use the M2_3 slot or the SATA3_5_6 slots

You can't use them at the same time

[kindred halo]

@left dove Remind me not to save USA players from death again

Saved a P-63 from death from an I-185, he then subsequently stole the I-185 kill

[silent scarab]

Is it true a windows 11 update can brick computers and cause data corruption?

[jaunty apex]

I mean I fully switched to Linux over it

But case by case basis, mine was exceptional

[silent scarab]

It's true though? Saw an article someone posted but didn't fully read it.

[true stirrup]

Even a win10 one could

[jaunty apex]

Literally my last experience was windows 11 restarting because it couldn't complete the update. Couldn't get to desktop or anything

Happened like 7 times before it finally updated and I moved over that day.

[vague talon]

Going to buy the Logitech G Pro X, anything else or pairs to check before?...

[true stirrup]

The amount of times I had to repair my install because of an update is crazy

[jaunty apex]

It hasn't happened to me often.. But I wasn't gonna have it happen anymore anyway and I knew that's what the future would probably bring if I stayed, the updates since 2024 helped me solidify my decision

Modify the hell out of my install just to make the OS usable. May as well go somewhere that's encouraged since I have to do it anyway. The one thing keeping me away since 2019 was VR and that's getting better now

[true stirrup]

I will fully switch to Linux as soon as I can use the OneDrive tied to my university mail on it
And this is an issue completely unrelated to the OS but it's the fault of the university mail administrator

[jaunty apex]

I'm sure there's a way, but I know configuring it is a pain in the ass

[true stirrup]

There is no way because all of them require an approval request to be used
And all of my requests just get ignored

[jaunty apex]

Ah.. Gross

[vague talon]

Any1? ;-;

[vague talon]

At least they haven't asked for your credit card info too

[distant mesa]

Whould a 9800x3d and a 5090 be enough to run 6 vms all running VR games? And how much ram would I need?

[jaunty apex]

Considering its a university they may have

[vague talon]

It can run spaceship 😭

[vague talon]

Bruh I know some who searched crazy shit at school/uni and the school did nothing ngl

[vague talon]

Including trying to get in the dark and deep web but it was blocked 😔

[true stirrup]

Well they definitely have my bank account number
And I had to pay 50€ with my card once so I guess I did give them my info once

[vague talon]

At least not your kidney!!!
(I bet they already got your happiness)

[craggy fiber]

anyone know?

[vague talon]

Almost no stock, discontinue

[true stirrup]

💀 bruh

[vague talon]

🥀

[craggy fiber]

does the uk have them

[vague talon]

Nope

US

[craggy fiber]

is there any reasonable alternative to that cpu then cuz i was gonna get it for my birthday

[vague talon]

You already got am4 motherboard?

[craggy fiber]

yea

[vague talon]

Damn, maybe some sell on ebay an unopened box

Or fb marketplace

[craggy fiber]

yea ill have a look on ebay, but what other cpu should i look for if i cant get it

something similar

[vague talon]

5600 / 5600x / 5700x

[vague talon]

These

[craggy fiber]

ryzen 7 5700x maybe?

[vague talon]

Usually 5600 has the best price to preformance

[vague talon]

I wrote it there too xd

What cpu you got now?

[craggy fiber]

i was about to type that lol i jave a ryzen 5 5600

[vague talon]

Not worth upgrading, better to go am5

Very small preformance jump

[jaunty apex]

Oh sorry did I get in your way? I'll move

[vague talon]

What 😭

[jaunty apex]

Lmao

[vague talon]

Xddddd

[craggy fiber]

? multiple people giving feedback is better

[jaunty apex]

Redundancy

[vague talon]

We said the same xd

[craggy fiber]

damn rip alright but ima need new everything 😭

[vague talon]

Good luck xd

[jaunty apex]

What's wrong with your cpu now that a 5800x3d would fix

[craggy fiber]

im like 90% sure my cpu goes to 100% when i play games

[vague talon]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/22nmTM

[vague talon]

Goated math

[jaunty apex]

Which ones? My 5800x barely reaches 50 in most workloads (mostly just has more cores and a higher clockspeed)

[craggy fiber]

im NOT entirely sure if it does but warthunder on pretty much max graphics, mount and blade 2 bannerlord, arma reforger, steel division 2 i guess

[craggy fiber]

idk if i can get that all ato nce, should i just get the motherboard and cpu for my birthday and then the other 2 for christmas

leaving £230 worth of my stuff in my room till christmas is wild tho icl

[exotic cape]

why would the fans pull air out of the case trough the rad? isnt that just dumb?

[craggy fiber]

?

[exotic cape]

pulling air in from back/top and pusinh out trought the rad in front

[true stirrup]

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

This is the best config

Hot air rises

So you want to exhaust it through the top

[swift kestrel]

Why do I keep getting "choose an operating system" with windows 10 and 11 when I start my laptop up

[random gyro]

because they wanna force win11

[true stirrup]

Because you have a win10 and win11 installation your pc

[random gyro]

just select win10 and thats it

[swift kestrel]

If i click windows 11 then it says recovery

[true stirrup]

Because it's a broken install
It probably just finds a small win11 partition but not a whole install

[rustic glade]

Hey! I got a new GPU, Installed it into my pc and I got this, what does it mean?

[swift kestrel]

How do I delete it

Ive never touched windows 11 not sure why its on my laptop

[swift kestrel]

You aren't in the correct boot mode

Somehow

[merry dagger]

Go to bios, open boot settings and disable CSM boot mode

[tidal geyser]

I love free things
https://youtu.be/I_RxvGC3lfY?si=b5lCAjEoN3To4hp1

[true stirrup]

Go into the partition manager and delete it

[exotic cape]

its a prebuilt system so i have to remove the rad/ fans and turn them around

[true stirrup]

What's the config rn?

[swift kestrel]

I dont know what one has windows 11 on it

[tidal geyser]

I wish I had a car

[swift kestrel]

Is there a way to just disable the splash screen?

[true stirrup]

You just have to sell enough PCs

[tidal geyser]

The z 2300 is heavy

I have 7 sas 10k disks

Only 300GB tho

[true stirrup]

Because it's technically the country's property so taking it is illegal

And the school ignored the fact that I did not care about that

[tidal geyser]

Here in Norway it is the same but you know I asked

I even got a fiber optic tester

It has a floppy drive in it

[true stirrup]

Nice

At least the uni I'm in rn has a random box on a random hallway with stuff they want to get rid off and you can just take it lol

[tidal geyser]

Nice

I should start on my trip again like 500m left

[true stirrup]

Good luck

[terse pewter]

with the exception of the fan at the top of the case closest to the front

[vapid onyx]

that's the price i got my b580

[terse pewter]

all you are doing there is pulling in fresh air and instantly shoving it back out

[ebon charm]

My case is good?

[mortal venture]

It's beautiful

[tidal geyser]

Where is air meant to come in from

Huh

[ebon charm]

Almost in front I think of digging a place for the air and then putting a filter

secure boot messed up with my software updates/drivers , had to reinstall windows so its not showing in c drive right now , but it showed before i formatted it

[tidal geyser]

haha bitlocker

[wraith bone]

my windows had so much issues recently , and my guess is secure boot

the exact same thing happened years ago when i enabled secure boot for valorant

and now for battlefield

[wraith bone]

yea

how do i fix it ?

[rustic glade]

How do I do that? I ain't messed with bios much

[abstract wigeon]

It's not for me

[cosmic lance]

well congratulation for building someone a pc

Why does a motherboard box describe every possible death using it

[mortal venture]

Idk

my asus didn't have this on box

I think its government grade motherboard

throw it away or use it to destroy the world

Tbh I would like a pc upgrade

Something like 4TB SSD

[proud island]

Is a Suprim 5080 good for 1300CHF? This is the lowest it’s been since release

[worn willow]

are prebuilts still that bad

[cosmic lance]

since when they were?

prebuilts are good

[cosmic lance]

thats the price of a 4090 😭

[sudden flame]

1945 ammo case pc

[cosmic lance]

fucking cool

[tidal geyser]

uhhhh

[sudden flame]

Not the specs

[carmine yew]

depends on how you're judging them

they're not inherently good they're also not inherently bad

[lime charm]

Just tried 1 last software called DMDE and I can see so much more files. I could spend $20 which is about £14.80 for a year. I might go for it and use that to recover all my files

[tidal geyser]

you mean backed up

as anything you care about at all is worth spending 0$ on aka 15GB free on google or free from other places

[exotic cape]

They are good for most people. But they usually isn't the BEST combo of parts. But they are not that bad. Unless we talk about some branded pre built.

[tidal geyser]

i have a bigger subwoofer than you

[worn willow]

all prebuilts are branded

[exotic cape]

[exotic cape]

When I say branded I mean like Lenovo or Alienware etc.

[tidal geyser]

i do have to mod it a bit to get it working

[worn willow]

dont they have like 100 apps preinstalled

[exotic cape]

Branded pre built usually are very bloated and contains custom made mobos and other stuff. So they are difficult to repair/upgrade.

I think the custom mobos have become better lately but they are still quite difficult to repair.

[worn willow]

so its best to build my own

and hope to not fry something important

[exotic cape]

Depends on you knowledge

[worn willow]

i only know how to install ram

[exotic cape]

And if you want to learn or not

[proper gull]

And how big is that?

[exotic cape]

@worn willow country?

[worn willow]

[worn willow]

my current laptop has ryzen 7

isnt it a downgrade

[exotic cape]

The type of ryzen does not specifically mean worse.

It's the generation that matters

[worn willow]

now this is perfect

[exotic cape]

Do you know exactly what processor it is?

[tidal geyser]

never ever just say its X and nothing else

[worn willow]

7435HS

[exotic cape]

Oh yea

[tidal geyser]

zen 3 so its way worse

[exotic cape]

7600x should be better than that

[faint flower]

Rtx 5060ti 16gb or 5070? For Casual gaming/game development?

[worn willow]

also 6 cores only?

[tidal geyser]

5070 ofc

[tidal geyser]

wat

[exotic cape]

Doesn't really matter.

[faint flower]

Okay

[exotic cape]

For most people core count don't really matter.

[tidal geyser]

like the 4 cores on the i3 12100f beats the i9 7900X 10 cores

[worn willow]

also its possible to upgrade it in future

[exotic cape]

Pretty sure the new gen and CPUs are better than the first thread rippers right?

[tidal geyser]

that is the whole point of am5

[worn willow]

i could upgrade to ryzen 7/9
or intel ultras

[exotic cape]

Yes, it should be made with off the shelf parts.

[worn willow]

hmm i could get 2tb storage variant with my budget

[worn willow]

but does amount of storage matter

[tidal geyser]

not the last one

[exotic cape]

And its am5 so it's supported for a few more years as well.

[proud island]

No it isn’t not even close 😭😭😭

[worn willow]

should i get 1tb + 2tb disk
or 2 tb disk

[tidal geyser]

we have no gotten some eh kinda leaks and i will not say its a thing nor that its legit BUT it is maybe kinda possible zen 7 comes on am5

[exotic cape]

For an everyday user 1tb is plenty

[cosmic lance]

depends

[worn willow]

its same price

for getting 2tb
or 2+1tb

[proud island]

The cheapest 5090 is 700CHF more expensive

[exotic cape]

But a nice thing to have is 1 fast drive for windows/games and 1 larger drive for storage.

[proud island]

How is that same price

[exotic cape]

2+1 would probably be the better choice then

[cosmic lance]

1. Im talking about msrp
2. The fuck is that price

[tidal geyser]

your old

now a days as long as its nvme you will not notice a differene

[exotic cape]

Hdd for large storage, ssd for games

[worn willow]

both its m2 nvme

[tidal geyser]

it could not matter less for NVMEs

[proud island]

5090 MSRP is not 1300CHF r u alr in your smol brain?

[exotic cape]

I have 2x 2tb m.2 and 1x 8tb hdd

[tidal geyser]

that HDD makes me sad

[cosmic lance]

well it is you idiot

wait no, im talking about 4090

[tidal geyser]

i got 7 HDDs that are sas ones today for free from school

[tidal geyser]

the only way to make HDDs good

[proud island]

Swiss MSRP ain’t the same and a 5090 isn’t 1600

[worn willow]

also im not getting windows preinstalled

[worn willow]

i will install it myself

[cosmic lance]

i said 4090

[proud island]

Swiss MSRP

[exotic cape]

I'm regularly dealing with file sizes of 200gb+ at a time.

[proud island]

Is already insane and the trump 39% tariffs massively inflate that

[cosmic lance]

When you lwkey wanna move more than 50gb files into your ssd but windows update removes it from existance

[tidal geyser]

that makes the HDD even sadder

[exotic cape]

So I have a fast one for transfers and transcoding etc. a large one for storage

[tidal geyser]

you have a fkn server

[exotic cape]

It is also a hot swappable drive.

I work with the files in the main pc, plug it into the server which then uploads to a Plex server.

Then I swap the hdd's between the PCs

[tidal geyser]

perfection

[worn willow]

plex server?

[exotic cape]

Moving a drive is the fastest way to transfer 8tb.

[worn willow]

no no no its dangerous

[tidal geyser]

why not just work on the files on the server?

[exotic cape]

Main pc is faster. Simple as that.

[tidal geyser]

why not make the server faster

[worn willow]

money

[tidal geyser]

its 60$ for a 1TB nvme

then you can just move the files from the 1TB when you are done to the HDD pool

and since it can use usable raid the transfer speed will be a massive amount faster

[exotic cape]

Main reason why I'm using hdd's is because I already had them.

I am Interested in trying to create a mini Nas or something like that. Wich i can use while traveling with the files.

Last year i traveled down to NL with like 10 256gb usbc drives. Wtf th some projects split between them.

Super inefficient

[tidal geyser]

wtf

[exotic cape]

You got to use what you have right.

[tidal geyser]

you buy too much of the wrong stuff

you threw away 7 keyboards and tons of other things

[exotic cape]

Hey, the usb drives were in sale for like 150kr a piece.

[tidal geyser]

a whole working 3D printer with plenty of extra stuff

[tidal geyser]

well yea

the storage tech they use in em is garbage

[worn willow]

but who needs 10x256gb

[tidal geyser]

him'

[exotic cape]

I was at a festival with limiter acces to pc/security. So I used those as a storage from cameras, instead of buying expensive microSD cards.

So I used my phone as a transfer point between camera/usb drive.

And those drives kinda stuck around.

It's nice to be able to offload your entire camera roll and then continue taking pictures/videos.

And also limited mobile data coverage.

[rigid fjord]

even more worse is that a 7435hs is more of a hog for power draw over a 7735hs

[exotic cape]

250k people has a tiny impact on internet speeds.

[tidal geyser]

travel NAS could be smart then

[mortal venture]

Better than 10 external drives

[rigid fjord]

when that used to be a direct thing for camera's without having to connect them to a pc

[mortal venture]

even something like mini pc with couple drives should be fine

[rigid fjord]

these existed for those that wanted to ofload while on the go

[exotic cape]

Altho there is one thing security is limited at a campsite so the tinier the better, and a usb drive is quite small yet not that expensive.

[rigid fjord]

sd card storage with built in wifi

[mortal venture]

Sounds expensive

[trail patio]

My ssd is only touching the paste in the middle

How do I make it fit properly

[mortal venture]

Send a photo

[exotic cape]

One if the worse photos I took during the weekend last year. This was with a s24 ultra tho.

[rigid fjord]

shouldn't need any paste to be used on a ssd

[trail patio]

On here it’s only touching the middle

[raw whale]

im building my pc rn and the psu box says 2x 4+4 EPS pin but the only 2 connectors with CPU on it are 8 pin, and i need 8+4

ik i only need 1 cable but more the better

unsure how to split the cables, they dont seem splittable

[trail patio]

You can see only residue on the middle

[exotic cape]

It's fine

[rigid fjord]

why are you putting a thermal pad on the underside of the ssd?

[trail patio]

Uhh it fits in that way

[rigid fjord]

you've been told this before, you only need to connect into the 8 pin eps header on the mobo

[exotic cape]

What. The pad is supposed to be between the SSD and the cover.

[trail patio]

I have another thing that goes ontop after with a pad

[rigid fjord]

the cover will have a pad on it normally tbh

[raw whale]

#tech-chat-1 message

[north nova]

can someone help

[exotic cape]

Depends

[rigid fjord]

again, only need to connect into the 8 pin eps header, don't need to touch the 4 pin one

Should I just screw it back in

[rigid fjord]

yes

[north nova]

https://tenor.com/view/mafs-face-palm-married-at-first-sight-omg-wow-gif-13537892

[trail patio]

It bends a bit on the ends

That’s all I can see tho so idk if there’s something wrong

[rigid fjord]

that is fine

[trail patio]

Ah alright tysm

Oh wait

It’s not even touching the pad

I turned the motherboard around to see from behind

[rigid fjord]

it's fine, the drive won't get hot enough to have any issues

[trail patio]

Ah alr

[exotic cape]

It's fine, unless you hear crunches and cracks.

Then you go on Amazon.

[trail patio]

Nah it was all good

[trail patio]

😭

[rigid fjord]

if you hear this, you've been installing cpu's completely wrong

[exotic cape]

I usually use a nail gun when installing hardware.

[rigid fjord]

i so need a nail gun, for reasons....

[exotic cape]

Nail gun and epoxy

I use epoxy for the cpu cooler and nailguns where the nail holes are

[raw whale]

is this ok

amount of paste

@rigid fjord you seem to know a bit

[exotic cape]

I see am4 brackets but am5 cpu

https://tenor.com/view/huh-gif-1807502725802114204

[raw whale]

the manual said to use those so

[exotic cape]

Oh

[raw whale]

it says am4/am5 in item description

[exotic cape]

But that should be enough paste.

[raw whale]

should i put a bit more

[cold skiff]

It’s the same mounts for both AM4/5

[sinful cobalt]

am4 and am5 use the same mounts and standoffs

[cold skiff]

AMD aren’t scummy like Intel changing stuff up every other year

[sinful cobalt]

even basically AM3

[raw whale]

yalll is that eough paste

[worn willow]

yes

[raw whale]

ok time to mount this shit

[cold skiff]

Damn that paste

It looks sad and lonely like it needs a friend

[sinful cobalt]

ngl for that amount I’d spread it instead of relying on cooler pressure

[cold skiff]

It won’t spread well either. Put your heatsink in, pull it up and send a photo. I bet that’s not enough to cover the hot spot fully

These days I just slap it on and spread it out then shove it on so I know it’s done tbh.

[rigid fjord]

a tiny bit more but spread it out

[rose stream]

I would've done either a V, T, or dot triangle, since you're trying to make an even spread.

[rigid fjord]

because am5 uses the same mounting as am4

[cold skiff]

Or just spread it yourself if you want it even

[raw whale]

bruh anyways my screw isnt going down i tried both ways

[cold skiff]

Why have you got scratching on the IHS already?

[worn willow]

whats IHS

[raw whale]

its notscrarching its fingerprint

[cold skiff]

The silver bit.Oh looked like scratching here

[raw whale]

its thermalpaste

[cold skiff]

The silver bit under the paste is called the IHs

The raised up bit of metal with legs that looks like a spider

[raw whale]

would the amount i put hurt

[cold skiff]

My dentist wants me to fill in a feedback form. What am I gonna say? Came in, you poked around in my mouth, drilled some teeth and I paid for it and left happy but violated?

[cold skiff]

Stick your heatsink on. Pick it up and show us the pattern it makes

[rigid fjord]

nope not at all, just would make it a little easier to spread

[north nova]

i got ik the problem my ssd its being detected but it has a problem with it

[cold skiff]

It’s Kioxia on a cheap ass AM5 mobo right?

[quaint pulsar]

My brain can’t comprehend the cores

[cold skiff]

Good thing it looks the same as the rest of the if AM5 then

[trail patio]

The manual says remove the brackets which I have done, then it says keep the backplate but what is that

[cold skiff]

I can’t use default locking mechanisms after using a contact frame now. Looks so ugly and feels so clunky

[cold skiff]

The plate on the back of the motherboard

[quaint pulsar]

I just did this today, backplate is what’s pushing thru those 4 black posts for you to mount the hardware to

[exotic cape]

The plate.... On the back.....

[cold skiff]

Fk man it literally tells you in the name

[trail patio]

💔

[cold skiff]

It’s not a cooking plate

[trail patio]

Ty dude

[exotic cape]

[exotic cape]

Or dinner plate.

[cold skiff]

Shit man what is that mobo

Looks cheap and without vrm heatsinks?

[raw whale]

this nice yes

[quaint pulsar]

Ye

[cold skiff]

It’s a lump of metal with some plastic fans. It looks beautiful

[quaint pulsar]

Installing that 9950x3d I didn’t know the plastic cover literally pops out, that shit scared me so bad

[trail patio]

i think it is cheap b850m-x wifi

[quaint pulsar]

Purty cover tho

[cold skiff]

Doing this scares some people more for some reason

[quaint pulsar]

Like that I can understand, you’re screwing shit it’s all good

Am5 I’m kinda putting pressure on it to shut it in, last thing I wanna hear is a loud POP

[cold skiff]

Well you can over tighten a contact frame and fuck things apparently… I’ve never done it

Yet…

[raw whale]

where should i put cables of cooler, under it? heard its not reccomended

[serene pumice]

The popular brand name is called Topz, not q-tipd, at least in Sweden.

Actual product name is just bomullspinnar of course.

[vague talon]

Sup.
I just got the Logitech G Pro X.
For some reason the PC recognize the headphones, shows it's playing sound but ai hear nothing.
Even the app works fine and shows it.
Any way to fix it?...

[quaint pulsar]

Just hide em

[serene pumice]

Ez

[vague talon]

?

[random junco]

bomullspinnar is the swedish name for it

[limpid mantle]

oops

-20 it is🥲

[random junco]

i tight them all up and hide it under the heatsink and if its too long then i run it down the left side of the cooler heatsink, inbetween the tiny gap of the gpu and motherboard and through to the back of the case lol

cable going on an adventure

[worn willow]

what did you do

[abstract wigeon]

what am i meant to use instead of robes then cus what else is mage related

[limpid mantle]

pbo

[worn willow]

whats pbo

[vague talon]

anyone?\

[limpid mantle]

undervolting to explain it simply

[abstract wigeon]

my 7600 can hit -30 😎

[limpid mantle]

with the same performance

[worn willow]

why do you do it

[limpid mantle]

lucky af Windows freezes for me

[serene pumice]

Yeah, but everyone says "Do you have any topz?"
Just like 'muricans(?) or the likes says "do you have a q-tips?", I just assume

[limpid mantle]

I aint too mad tbh 9800x3d runs great

[abstract wigeon]

yeah no need to milk it anymore tbf

[limpid mantle]

mostly doing it for temps

runs a bit hot for my liking in my itx build

[north nova]

my m2 nvme isnt being detected weird

but everything else is fine

[abstract wigeon]

oh yeah i was gonna say x3d chips never run that hot but i can see why in an itx youd care

[north nova]

even hdd

[limpid mantle]

in bios or windows

[abstract wigeon]

are you out of lanes?

[north nova]

in bios

[azure topaz]

uh

[limpid mantle]

yeah it's actually not crazy hot maxes out at 90 but fans get loud, I need some noctua a12s

[north nova]

i dont think so

[sinful cobalt]

whats the cooler

[carmine yew]

either it's not inserted right

It's a dead drive

or the slot isn't working right

[azure topaz]

me when misinfo

[random junco]

im in the uk and i say ear buds, dont know bout anyone else tho

[limpid mantle]

corsair H100i capellix

[abstract wigeon]

i mean stock it runs cooler than its non x3d counterpart of that same level

[azure topaz]

what

[north nova]

the drive is alive it was being detected before but it isnt anymore

[serene pumice]

Cotton buds?

[azure topaz]

could this perhaps be attributed to their lower overall clock and wattage limits

[random junco]

wait yes thats it my family says cotton buds, probably what everyone else says too

[azure topaz]

because the chips get too hot and fry themselves?

[carmine yew]

have you tested it in another slot or pc

[abstract wigeon]

random youtube source am i missing something

[azure topaz]

the 5800x3d is literally the hottest chip on am4

[north nova]

not yet

[limpid mantle]

time to stress test it again, I just want temps at around 80 tbh

[azure topaz]

pbo on?

[sinful cobalt]

then it doesnt run hot in gaming.

[random junco]

what is this dumb choice of colours

[north nova]

i just updated the bios its running smother

[abstract wigeon]

guess not 🤷 youre probably right

[carmine yew]

the 7000 x3d's were lower wattage parts out of the box

[azure topaz]

well no, pbo is on

[north nova]

this is so fucking weird

[azure topaz]

not comparable

ones locked to like 88w one has the option of drawing 150+

one is literally locked to avoid a thermal meltdown

because the cache is insulating the cores (was)

[carmine yew]

if you roast the 3d v-cache the x3d parts do really poorly.

So they set a lower power budget on the 7000 x3d parts

[limpid mantle]

idk what you consider "hot"

[raw whale]

is it a problem if myy cables touch heatsink i cant find good place to hide them in (cpu fans)

[random gyro]

Guys, I've put together a pc for my mate using the r5 5600 + rx 9060xt 16gb as the cpu + gpu, how can I make this cheaper? https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/zVVvyW

[limpid mantle]

these corsair fans are loud af, they need to go
