My gut tells me that this isn't a mic issue as much as a boot initialization issue with your computer. But you should rule the mic out.

hidden hill
#

Going to try plugging it into the other usb c port in the back of the pc

silk merlin
#

Try it on a laptop or some other machine to rule it out

Don’t have anything around me at the moment

rigid fjord
#

how is a mic going to affect that?

silk merlin
rigid fjord
#

it's not a boot setting

silk merlin
#

It could be that the mic takes a long time to respond during boot, but we won't know that until the mic is tried elsewhere to see if that's the case.

The 9950x3D will perform better in gaming than the 9950x

That's it

# hidden hill Don’t have anything around me at the moment

So, I did a quick lookup on that mic series. The other, goofy thing that came up is that that mic could draw power prior to the PC actually booting. The power draw could put the machine in a delayed boot state or prevent it.
Some users have reported that unplugging the mic and re-plugging it in was their only solution.

hidden hill
#

Yeah that’s what I’ve been doing 🙁

#

It’s also a really annoying thing to have to do lol

The mic is amazing, but this issue sucksss lol

#

Yeah I have a razer headset holder which has a few usb ports on it

#

No usb c port though

#

for shitz and giggles, try plugging the mic in through the hub.

Ok

Not sure if a usb c to c mic using a c to usb a cable connection would mess with anything

#

But it looks like it booted correctly lmao

#

Going through to usb hub, no idea if it’s due to it using a c to a cord or if it’s because it went through the hub

I saw someone with another mic saying they had an issue and it was due to power draw

They said they got a go xlr to fix it, not sure what that is though

Also on the back edge, it’s a pretty thick desk, should I put it in the middle, bottom or top of the desk itself,

and will cables cast shadows if I draw them infront?

AirPort Express is a discontinued line of Wi-Fi base stations made from Apple Inc. from 2004 to 2018. It was positioned as the entry-level router in the AirPort product line, below the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Time Capsule.

#

i think it can still be used for good quality airplay audio thing

#

theres a 3.5mm plug on it so you can hook up to any speaker and it just shows up as an airplay device

#

and you can stream music to it in really good quality

#

also it supports printers via usb so if you have an old printer thats not wireless you can convert it to airprint with this

Hey all I just built a new pc today and the download speeds are awfully slow. I installed the drivers but it didn’t seem to work

cinder raptor
#

How slow we talkin?

sour cobalt
#

Just a tad slow🤣

tidal geyser
#

wat

#

use speed test

cinder raptor
#

Probably not your computers fault I bet

jovial token
tidal geyser
#

why his phone

jovial token
#

to see if its the internet or the pc

random junco
#

compare if its network or pc

tidal geyser
#

maybe first check the pc

tired bear
#

use actual speedtest or iperf to local device preffered

tidal geyser
#

martin i think someone who takes a picture of taskmanager for download speeds does not even know what a iperf is

sour cobalt
#

Yeah i think it’s my internet….. LOL

tidal geyser
#

yea das is internet

#

but to make sure your computer is directly plugged into the router

sour cobalt
#

Yeah it’s ethernet

tidal geyser
#

mesh can also get a ethernet cable out of it but does not mean it uses ethernet for internet

I put a mild OC on my 7900xtx and now I’m not getting a signal from it

jovial token
warm linden
#

I tried that

#

No display

tidal geyser
#

what did you change

warm linden
#

I’ve been gaming on it all day no problem

random junco
#

oc to 5000

warm linden
#

I left the room to go get water and I come back to a black screen and my fans at 100

tidal geyser
#

o no your just fucking around

warm linden
#

Nothing

warm linden
#

It is a dual bios card tho, can I just switch to the other bios and try to reboot?

tidal geyser
#

no shit

#

that is the point of it

warm linden
#

I was just asking…

#

I don’t remember what OC I put but it wasn’t much

random junco
#

thats what they all say

warm linden
#

It really wasn’t

tidal geyser
#

just set all the voltages to the max

warm linden
#

I’ve never gotten any artifacts from it

#

Voltage was stock

#

Can I use windows event viewer to see the last crash?

tidal geyser
#

wat

warm linden
#

I’m asking if I can see if something caused it to black screen

tidal geyser
#

why

#

you already know why

warm linden
#

That wasn’t the cause of the crash

random junco
#

so what was

warm linden
#

I’ve been gaming on that overclock for weeks

random junco
#

so why make it seem like it was the problem 💔

warm linden
#

I’m thinking it might have overheated

#

But would that cause the bios to corrupt?

tidal geyser
#

no

#

overheating would shut the system down

warm linden
#

Is there a way to troubleshoot the other bios

tidal geyser
warm linden
#

Is it like a bios flashback tool but for gpu bios

tidal geyser
#

you can check every address to check where the issue is

i need to find the best cooler at 63mm or less height

tidal geyser
vital marlin
tidal geyser
#

just get a 7800X3D and do not worry about it

vital marlin
#

thats not a cooler

#

also x3d are really expensive here

tidal geyser
#

pleas for the love of god do not buy a used 13th or 14th gen chip

#

the new 7800X3D is like 380$ or smn for 14900k kinda gaming performance

vital marlin
#

im looking at 9700x

warm linden
#

Are you on am4 or am5

tidal geyser
#

"really hard to find cooling capacity on there"

#

Tried installing drivers onto the 2nd bios and this happened

vital marlin
#

also zen 4 vs zen 5, im not looking to buy old tech

tidal geyser
#

and here you see why TDP never matters

tidal geyser
#

7800X3D still on top baby

warm linden
#

@tidal geyser this is what OC i had applied

tidal geyser
#

wtf

warm linden
#

this is bone stock

random junco
#

2nd fan being circular just ruins it all

warm linden
#

like I said very mild OC, so idk what happened

random junco
#

this is why we own spare thermalright fans!!

tidal geyser
#

wtf even is the point of amd making their own safer better and just nicer OC program just to be ignored for something that has not actually gotten a stable version for 2 years

vital marlin
tidal geyser
#

is where it matters the least if you do not want to use upscaling

warm linden
#

should I not use MSI afterburner anymore?

tidal geyser
#

on a 5090

tidal geyser
#

also modern OC does nothing, only power limit does even a small thing

warm linden
tidal geyser
#

amd has a built in one for adrenalin

vital marlin
warm linden
#

if I only added +100mhz core and +100mhz mem why would it crash

tidal geyser
limpid ivy
# tidal geyser butwhy afterburner

aparently afterburner caused one of my games to crash even though I have no sort of OC, but it has been running in my background since I had my old 3070 lol.

tidal geyser
limpid ivy
#

Couldn't do more then an hour in LMU without it hard crashing, removing afterburner and anything related to afterburner resolved it.

tidal geyser
#

xd

something that is already out

#

or do you mean a 7600X3D but zen 5

limpid ivy
#

Just thinking about the programs I would need to reinstall gives me ptsd after the last two times lol.

tidal geyser

does it mean the OC bios is corrupt

well ok fine maybe, but at that point get a 9950X

tidal geyser
vital marlin
#

9700x is a heck of a lot better than the 1800x ive been living with

tidal geyser
#

a 5 3600 is too

#

pro tip, you can reuse your cooler from am4 to am5 if it just uses the stock stuff

vital marlin

no i cant, new case, e atx down to itx

yep, for example: i can run RE:7 at a smooth constant 75 FPS on max settings

it tells you what to do

vital marlin
#

sheesh, im glad i do my own checking. yall are crazy to pushing people to the 7800x3d unless they are exclusivly gaming. its like 5-10% worse in every other workload... and only 2% faster than a 9700x @ 4k gaming. Oh and its also like 40% more money

I’ve had a gaming pc for 5 years, but this is my first time building one. Where do I plug all these fan cables into? The first picture shows the cables of the 3 fans at the top of the case. The second picture shows a little hub in the back with the other 3 preinstalled RGB fans plugged into. The 3rd picture shows some extra cables that I don’t know where to plug in. Can someone tell me where to plug all these cables into?

@ebon marlin Iphones have a feature (for certified apple techs) where they calibrate the new display for the hardware, its not as simple as swapping an ic

You can easily do it but I don't bother with it

You transfer the IC chip to the new screen from the old screen and then you can calibrate the new screen
