Its not a simple process, you literally need to have the right certifications from apple to even do the proper touch calibration

[thorn pewter]

[finite flint]

[thorn pewter]

Plus even if you do somehow be able to that it doesn’t mean it will work for ever

[ebon marlin]

Everyone has access to that now with the repair assistant feature

Customers are happy and so am I

[steel umbra]

time to charge more

[empty quartz]

I may or may not have a grudge against non-oem screens

[ebon marlin]

I just try to do affordable repairs since everyone charges insane prices for their repairs

[ebon marlin]

Shitty non-oem screens

[empty quartz]

Still pissed off about the whole ordeal with my iphone 12

[ebon marlin]

I use genuinely very good quality products

[empty quartz]

Ryzen 5 5600, 16GB DDR4, 1TB SSD NVMe, AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB this good?

[ebon marlin]

Significantly cheaper to get a 3rd party compatible soft screen

[steel umbra]

i wouldn’t either

[ebon marlin]

No one would

[steel umbra]

4 days of 4k video playback

[topaz horizon]

Guys please help I don't know how to fix this

I can't even enter recovery

And I can't use windows media creation tool because I can't boot into windows

So I have to download an ISO on Linux and boot it through ventoy. I tried too with balena etcher

[hexed tapir]

#1027757333117415424

[placid mirage]

If you can manage to get your hands on a media creation tool through like a relatives computer, there are relatively simple tools online on how to rebuild a BCD, also tech support is your best bet but if you can manage to get your hands on a media creation tool or an ISO with access to cmd? i can probably help in #1027757333117415424

tutorials i should say*

i have had to rebuild the bcd on my computer an embarassing amount of times

[topaz horizon]

Ok I made a post on tech support

[placid mirage]

i think it was when i was trying to install HyperV my BCD nuked itself

[swift moss]

aww

[final wasp]

Im worried that if I put a fan in the back the hose will be to close, what should I do?

[grizzled frost]

flip the rad?

those tubes shouldn’t be a problem though

[final wasp]

There is 3 fans in the others side

I have the stock fans in the front but im replacing them in a couple days

[grizzled frost]

throw an extra fan in and see if it gets in the way

usually you can kind of force those tubes out of the way and they’ll hold their shape to some extent

[final wasp]

The ones im getting will be slightly thicker same size as the ones on the radiator

Worse case maybe I could tie the hose to the 24 pin connector with some fishing string

[sharp ivy]

I'm playing Ace Combat 6's tutorial

[placid mirage]

if its in your budget id get one of them slimline or thin fans

[sharp ivy]

and how on earth am I supposed to mainain low speed flight if I don't know what their definition of low speed is

[placid mirage]

if it matches the aesthetic

[placid mirage]

[final wasp]

Im wanting all the fans to be the corsair icue fans (there 50% OFF on there website atm for 3 packs)

[cosmic idol]

So true

[cosmic idol]

Usually slow enough to not stall 😔

[placid mirage]

i get that, had an issue with my corsair 4000d case where i have a 360 rad intaking through the side but it collides with my front fans...

but because im a disgusting person and i own a 4000D Frame with the silly fan things, i only used 2 of the fan attachments per fan as attaching the top or screwing in the top would cause issues

looks fine, but really its disgustingh

all that cause i didnt wanna change fans

so the fans i believe are slightly ever ever eeveerr so slightly tilted left

[placid mirage]

oh hello

[final wasp]

Lol

[placid mirage]

thats a 4000d frame

Well yours looks better than mine does atleast

[placid mirage]

My cabling is a bit of a mess due to having an old 750-850 watt power supply that is not modular and has the lovely dovely mustard and ketchup cabling and not having PWM cable extenders so the cables are very visible for the fans too.

its good for what it is

il take a picture 2 seconds but dont bully

[final wasp]

I refuse to use non modular lol

[final wasp]

It's to bad I dont have my gpu yet

I dont get it till tomarrow

I drove around for about 3 hours the other day looking for one but had to order it online

[sinful cobalt]

hopefully something comes out of the fsr4 sdk leak and the rdna3 compatibility actually gets finished

[placid mirage]

Yes my fans are at full speed no i will not turn them down

[whole garden]

yummy

[placid mirage]

I need to dust

[random gyro]

my gpu gets dust on it every time i turn on my computer for some reason

[placid mirage]

My room is so dusty I have purposely made all the intakes where dust filters are

And the exhausts where there isn't

[random gyro]

how I feel knowing I live 30 miles within a micro center: 🤑 🥰

[placid mirage]

Imma put the glass back on

And clean the dust filters they are fucking manky

Keep in mind I cleaned them literally 2 weeks ago

[vestal cobalt]

Does above 4g decoding and resizeable bar have a large impact on performance?

[ivory mountain]

hey me too ❤️‍🩹

[placid mirage]

My rad is white what the fuck

It's dust

Just thick dust

[grizzled nova]

These noises are hilarious 😭

[placid mirage]

It's Intaking from where my wardrobe is which explains all the dust but jesus

[grizzled nova]

I’ve seen way worse than this lvl of dust

[ivory mountain]

😂

[placid mirage]

I out these parts in less than a month ago

Put*

[grizzled nova]

Oh wow ok that’s definitely a lot of dust then

[placid mirage]

I'm concerned

For my health now what the fuck

[ivory mountain]

u think thats bad u should see my rad

[grizzled nova]

If it’s in your wardrobe

[grizzled nova]

Is yours a month old tho

[trim gyro]

I don't remember cleaning my pc

[ivory mountain]

yeah

[placid mirage]

Were gonna ignore this wiring mess

We see nothing it's behind a panel

[grizzled nova]

[placid mirage]

My favourite

Not a bad PSU it's just.. Old

[grizzled nova]

[placid mirage]

Il. Check

[timber badger]

I have three separate hard drives that would refuse to show in windows on two of my three computers unless they are inside of a hard drive enclosure. Any ideas?

[placid mirage]

Maybe just maybe I may turn down my fan curve

Cause of dust

[ivory mountain]

might as well just keep it the same

[cursive pendant]

My case says it supports 9 fans, but the ARGB fan huh in the back of the case only has 4 FAN and 4 LED slots.

[trim gyro]

well, you could daisy chain them

downside is they're all gonna be the same color

[cursive pendant]

The 3 pre installed fans are all plugged in and ready to go. The 3 remaining fans that I bought separately were daisy chained with these cables being plugged into each other. Then the last one went into an ‘LED DATA’ slot. Is that all? Because I was thinking that I need a 3way splitter for the last FAN slot to power the remaining 3 fans?

unless they get power by being plugged into the LED DATA slot?

[trim gyro]

if it's a good fan hub, it should be able to power 3 fans from one header

[cursive pendant]

From one header as in the LED Data slot?

[trim gyro]

yes

anyway, when in doubt, turn on pc

[cursive pendant]

Correct, let me try that in a sec

[swift moss]

yo ai chill out

suggesting piracy sites now are we

[barren breach]

Why are friggin hnta games always trending on steam lmfao

Also what is helldivers comparable to, im debating buying it but im super picky

I always hear people compare it to halo cause odst, and halo is my #1. But I also hear the other 50% of people saying it’s nothing like halo

[whole garden]

nsfw games?

[barren breach]

You could definitely say that

[cursive pendant]

Top 3 non pre installed fans did not turn on

I probably just need a splitter for the FAN port to fit the 3 dans

[barren breach]

Did you plug them into the chassis fan header as well as the rgb header

[ivory mountain]

theyre trending on nintendo switch store too

[sharp ivy]

Well

I just bought a 360 off marketplace

And it's notmal when you press the power button

[barren breach]

Idk what to think of modern society lmfao

[sharp ivy]

but if you press the disk tray button when it's off...

[cursive pendant]

My mobo only has a cpu fan and one fan port so i plugged the argb fan controller into that sys fan and the 3 preinstalled fans plugged into the controller work, i just need a splitter for the 4th power slot to power the remaining 3 fans. The 3 fans are daisy changed for the LED into the LED data slot. So I can’t just plug the remaining fans into anything unless I have a splitter.

[sharp ivy]

does anyone know anything about this?

[barren breach]

Weird as hell and I almost wanna say jailbreak

But take that with a grain of salt because Ive always owned Xbox, but never a modded console

[sharp ivy]

oh it defs is

[sharp ivy]

Neither have I

I just got this one cause I wanted to play AC6 but my other one is region locked

[barren breach]

So I assume for those 3 added fans you have lights but no fans spinning

Wait nvm

Read that wrong

So you have absolutely nothing from those 3 fans

[cursive pendant]

Nope. I’m assuming i’d have to get them power before they’d light up regardless

[barren breach]

Argb is separate from power to spin. You can have rgb without them spinning, vice versa

Gonna need splitters for both

If you dont have spots to plug them in

[cursive pendant]

So how do you daisy chain them?

[barren breach]

Splitter lol

I assume you have 2 different styles of connection coming from those fans right, 1 set of 4 pin and 1 set of 3 pin

[cursive pendant]

Well i plugged these into each other for the 3 fans and then plugged the last one into the LED data slot on my ARGB controller.
The 3 preinstalled fans use like a molex with 3 holes in it to plug into the controller. The fans I bought use something like this (second pic)

[shell linden]

Guys do we think a iPad 12.9 5th gen is worth 490usd?

Excellent condition too and I could probably get him to go down to 450

[cursive pendant]

Refurbished and they’re asking $425. I’d look for $360 at auctions. But if you’re buying for yourself, and not to resell, Then $425-450 isn’t bad if you don’t mind

[random gyro]

i have dust covers but they are magnetic mesh, and i leave my pc on the floor which is a slight downside but its because I can't fit it on my desk

[shell linden]

I bought one of these off eBay a couple months ago and had to return it cuz the battery was awful

[cursive pendant]

What are you using it for?

[shell linden]

College

[cursive pendant]

Like just note taking?

[shell linden]

Mainly

And something that’s gonna last too

[cursive pendant]

Dont blow 400 to get a 2021 ipad, get an 8th or 9th gen for $100-150.

[barren breach]

You probably wont be able to sync the rgb if molex and that style

Unfortunately

Im assuming its a cheaper case

[cursive pendant]

Hmm, well its for resale so i'm gonna see how it looks if its not synced and if it still looks good, most likely will, then its fine.
and yeah its a cheaper $60 newegg fishtank case

[shell linden]

Mm ok

[cursive pendant]

But did I daisy chain it correctly?

[barren breach]

If you connected all the fans together and have 1 of each of those connectors coming off a fan ready to be plugged in, I would assume yes

[cursive pendant]

Yeah I connected those 3 pinned cables into the 3 pinned hole cables and plugged the last one into the controller, which is plugged into my only SYS fan. The controller itself seems to be working, so hopefully that LED data slot works aswell. I know you cant overload it when daisy chaining but i'm sure 3 is fine

[shell linden]

If I ask this guy 400$ u guys think I’m lowballing? 😭

[cursive pendant]

He'll want to meet you at like $460-475. Private seller or company?

[shell linden]

Fb marketplace

[barren breach]

Rgb/led you most likely wont “overload”, youd really only overload the straight power to make em spin

[shell linden]

I’m such a bad negotiator lmao

[gilded harness]

i really went from that to a small box

still bad cable managemment

[cursive pendant]

Hmm. So the 3 daisy chained fans didnt light up. If you're correct and they're seperate, they shouldve lit up?

[gilded harness]

im planning to get itx mobo at some point

[barren breach]

Overpriced af, I built this for a friend, hes $1000 usd into it WITHOUT a gpu

[barren breach]

And it has like bottom tier am5

7600x

[gilded harness]

damn

all i need is itx motherboard rn

another option is get lian li a3 instead so i could get away with matx

[barren breach]

I cant get over my pc when its set to white

So good

[grizzled nova]

Is that a 5070

[barren breach]

5070ti yes

[grizzled nova]

Aw I was close

[cursive pendant]

What do you think i should do? My mobo has 1 SYS fan slot and I need to connect 3 more fans that cannot be connected to the ARGB fan hub. My motherboard has a max usage rating of 1A. So I’m not sure if i’m able to get a 4 way splitter for one slot and plug 3 fans + a controller into one single slot. How can I plug in the 3 extra fans + my ARGB controller?

[grizzled nova]

Tried to guess it

[grizzled nova]

Are you able to get another fan hub

Or a larger one

[cursive pendant]

Hmm, what would I plug it into? Like get a two way splitter for the one slot to plug in two hubs?

[barren breach]

What connectors do the case fans have. Only molex or molex + 3 pin rgb?

[grizzled nova]

Maybe idk
I don’t have a fan hub or deal with a lot of fans so I’m probably not the best to give advice on this

[barren breach]

Not the added, the ones included with the case

[cursive pendant]

The first pic is for the case fans. The second pic is for the new fans.

[barren breach]

Check dm

[gusty wagon]

1. calculate the amp your fans need
2. the fist pic has 4pin fan (left) and 12v argb (right)
3. the second pic has a 4pin fan header and an extension of the same header

Hey so, my quest 2 controllers have got some very noticeable stick drift, ive heard it's pretty easy (just time consuming) to swap out the joysticks for new ones, but I would only like to do that if hall effect sensors are available, is anyone aware of third party hall effect sensors for the quest 2?

[simple palm]

I have this HDD which makes my computer to not even start when plugged in. Is there any chance to fix this HDD? Is it possible to replace the PCB board and get this working?

[arctic crystal]

Can someone help me all I get is a Black screen after BIOS when GPU is plugged in

Specs Asus b650 e max gaming mother board
Ryzen 9 7900
Rtx5070

I just built the system I have downloaded drivers that windows told me and nvidia app told me too all that works is the integrated graphics can’t get the gpu past the bios menu

[flat cliff]

Trying to fix these Bose headphones. One of the two sides won't play any audio. I'm trying to solder on a new driver but I can't seem to get the cover off, a heat gun didn't seem to work so I turned up the heat and it started to melt the cover (hope that's not a problem as long as I don't make or worse) what do I do about this?

Oh and I thought the driver would just have 2-3 wires coming off it I use to solder but it does not how do I know what to solder where?

Why are there so many solder pads?

[brave brook]

it is more complex than that and unfortunately if you really want data, you send it to a data recovery company and pay up. And in future make backups, so a death of single HDD won't make you lose years of irreplaceable files

[simple palm]

I don't want any data, just want my HDD to revive if possible?

[swift thorn]

my guess is that there are clips that are holding the plastic down, maybe above the buttons. as for the pads, I'm not a soldering expert but I'd try to exactly match the wiring from the current driver to the new one

[azure topaz]

no, its a 1tb drive, its really not worth it

[simple palm]

Should I just dispose it safely?

[flat cliff]

I'll check later I didn't realize how late it was for me. The driver has I think anyways only 2 wires coming off it and only has two soldered to the board. This driver has a lot more solder pads. Its not the same driver just an aftermarket replacement. As for the cover I see no clips and it looks glued down but this be some special glue or something. I'll check again later after some sleep though. I hope one of the two is right or I'm still at square zero for this especially getting this dam cover off.

[safe remnant]

what do u think of XPG S60?
i was going for WD SN7100 but its too expensive
then i found S60 , seem good
using it for boot drive and game storage

[sand epoch]

why does everyone collectively hate intel

i mean what's wrong with lga 1700? i have a i5 12400 rn and im thinking of upgrading it to like a i7 14700k or soemthing

[sage carbon]

any recommendations on under 700 usd laptop for engineering student?

[safe remnant]

one of the reason i avoid intel is
they change socket almost every 1-3 gen

while amd stays for so many gen
its future proof , compare to intel
unless u are rich
if not most people go for amd

[solar moat]

14700k is good upgrade over 12400

you going to overclock tune it at all?

just as note the 13700k is same as 14700k so if price of 13700k cheaper go for that

[mellow ridge]

I need some help i want to change my IP before i connect to company's VPN what would be best way to do it ?

[tidal geyser]

What motherboard

[true stirrup]

Just be careful if you are thinking of getting it used
It might have been killing itself in the past

[cursive pendant]

What to do if your case has a usbc port but your motherboard doesnt support usb c

[thin plover]

you either buy an adapter or don't plug it in

[valid fiber]

accept that the usb-c ports have no function.
get a new motherboard
get a new case
get some pci-e usb-c adapter and connect it somehow

[tidal geyser]

Not use it

[cursive pendant]

Whats the name of the specific adapter?

[thin plover]

no clue

I'm guessing motherboard usb to usb c adapter or something like that

[tidal geyser]

https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-m&q=usb 3 to usb c internal adapter

[trail patio]

have any of u used bluestacks before, is it safe

[trail patio]

because all these articles seem like theyre just advertising

[ebon marlin]

cheers mate

[tidal geyser]

i have no clue what is going on here

[hexed tapir]

gotta show off that gtx 1050/ti

[tidal geyser]

look at the gpu on this thing

[wheat torrent]

im fucking cooked paypal instant transfers are down globally for the last days and they didnt even announce anything or send an official message

[tidal geyser]

no shit

[exotic cape]

what???? paypal is going to shit?

nooooo really?

[vestal wadi]

When i move all my data could i just put it on my hard drive and then move the hard drive to my new pc?

[tidal geyser]

yes

[exotic cape]

yup

[vestal wadi]

Like just clean out every mb of the c drive and put it on the hard drive or is there some things i should not transfer over

[exotic cape]

hard drivers are technically hotswappable altho its not reccomended really.

[tidal geyser]

you need to turn it on in the bios and it has to be supported by the OS too

[vestal wadi]

Wait what whats that

[exotic cape]

you could litreally pull the os drive out and put it into the other pc. since the bios has already chosen a os drive

[vestal wadi]

What is a os drive

[exotic cape]

operating system

[tidal geyser]

anyways just transfer over anything lokal only like game saves or projects

[vestal wadi]

Okej but like programs i just leave?

[tidal geyser]

do you have internet

[exotic cape]

its fully up to you what you want to keep on it

[vestal wadi]

Yes i have internet and okey

[exotic cape]

you even could keep the old windows installation on the c drive and transfer the drive and it should still be fine

[vestal wadi]

But i need to keep my c drive on my old pc bc im giving it to my girlfriend

[tidal geyser]

you REALLY do not want to move C drives from different platform

you always wanna reinstall it

[exotic cape]

im meaning that you can move the c drive to a system that already has a c drive

[vestal wadi]

So i could just move every singel thing on my c drive to my hard drive and then put the hard drive in my new pc?

[exotic cape]

yes. altho you wont need anything windows related on it.

[vestal wadi]

Okey thx

[tidal geyser]

look at what i am buying

[exotic cape]

eww nasty

oh wait. i should say anything

[exotic cape]

900. billig jo

[tidal geyser]

[tidal geyser]

broken screen

[exotic cape]

could still be used

[exotic cape]

just use it with an ed

i bloody hate laptop cpu's. since the names never makes sense

[tidal geyser]

[solar moat]

[tidal geyser]

OMG i was just watching a video about this

john oliver is probs gonna talk about this development on his next story

[exotic cape]

well, time to contiunue cleaning up

now that i dont have a 12 hour shift

[tidal geyser]

fuck it im buying a US keyboard

[sinful cobalt]

I have 2 and a upcoming “gaming” laptop

[tidal geyser]

welp it was not even nordic to begin with

[plush wren]

what the freak..

gaming laptop type keyboard

[vast otter]

https://youtu.be/_kBlH-DQsEg?si=IUcNw7tXZYQCQpAT

[hollow creek]

what kind of engineering?

and do they tell you already things you need to use for simulations?

[solar moat]

as a engineer i thnik they need get better with slide rule

[tame nebula]

how do i clean headset with cloth material?

[tidal geyser]

get new pads

[tame nebula]

every guides says to use microfiber or something soft and wet it with mild detergent

[tidal geyser]

so do that?

[tidal geyser]

this is such a pain, a different laptop i also need a screen but that model of laptop has 2 different screens

well screen connectors

[faint flower]

Yo my pc restarts when i press he power button on the chassis, did i do the wireing wrong?

[tidal geyser]

cmon

[vestal wadi]

Do i need to move these files to my new pc?

[faint flower]

☠️

[tidal geyser]

do you have any save files there?

or stuff only there

[vestal wadi]

I dont know bc i dont know what it is?

[tidal geyser]

how much stuff is only stored on the pc and not cloud

[whole garden]

[faint flower]

So uh did i do the wireing wrong?

[vestal wadi]

Bc i have windows 10 on this one but on my new i got windows 11 and dont wanna overwrite anything

[tidal geyser]

wat

[tidal geyser]

again cmon

[faint flower]

What does that mean man

[tidal geyser]

come on

[faint flower]

What do you wanna tell me

[tidal geyser]

you already figured it out

[faint flower]

Oh alright

Thanks man

[hollow creek]

true but that also depends entirely on what field they study

cant really sin a voltage cycle using ruler

[solar moat]

https://tenor.com/btiWP.gif

my study

[hollow creek]

this could either be mechatronics or mecha, but either way that is very funny

[faint flower]

Sim do i occupy the two on the right and leave one pin free in the middle?

On the bottom one

[solar moat]

when i first went down this parth when i was 14 my teacher showed a guy being minced and being made just a stain on the wall

[tidal geyser]

it tells you where to plug it in on the bottom

[faint flower]

Yeah i know

But there is 5 on the bottom

Do i just put them in a straight row

[solar moat]

reset pin has gap

[tidal geyser]

no

[faint flower]

So there should be a gap?

[tidal geyser]

the extra pin on the side is just for keying

[faint flower]

Okay then in a row?

Thanks

[tidal geyser]

open the motherboard manual

[faint flower]

Dont have it

I will search it up

Okay got it

Thanks for your help

[rigid fjord]

no, those are with windows all the time

[faint flower]

Its still happening

Maybe cause i dont have a gpu in it?

Okay works now

[tidal geyser]

pic

[faint flower]

Uh

There isnt m7ch to see here i guess

Okay well now it wont work

Only the reset button works

And now it works again

☠️

[rigid fjord]

recheck that they're on them correctly

[crystal cove]

Hello nerds. anyone will to help out with a graphics card related problem? Just comparing 2 graphics cards

[jagged perch]

Anyone here done acoustic treatment to their pc case to make it quieter?

The case I'm getting is very open, but it has steel side plates. So I'm thinking I might just put something on them to deaden them. Pretty sure they'll ring out otherwise.

[crystal cove]

do you already have the other pc parts?

[jagged perch]

Actually the case and cpu cooler are the things I'm missing :p

They're on the way

I know from youtube videos that the side panels are rincgy and resonant, so I'm going to deaden them in some way regardless. I can't imagine they need a lot of deadening, just a little to absorb that ringing.

[crystal cove]

should grab some quieter fans or put it in a place that is further from you desk or something that blocks it (like putting it under the desk)

[brave brook]

who thinkgs it is nordic when you can clearly see cyrilic alphabet ?

[crystal cove]

Ive never had that problem but you could put a stick on foam on the edge of the panel

[jagged perch]

It's already going to be all noctua'd up, so that's taken care of. 200mm intake fans and all.

[crystal cove]

ah nice

[jagged perch]

It's mostly the potential ringing I'm worried about

[crystal cove]

yeah, I would say a thin stick on foam around the edge of the pannel would fix that

[jagged perch]

My assumption is that it won't be a big problem in practice, but this whole build is 100% overkill so I may as well go all in

[crystal cove]

it would also seal the air around it

[rigid fjord]

what case?

[rigid fjord]

not really a good choice there tbh

[jagged perch]

Asus PA602 wood edition with solid steel sides

[jagged perch]

Nah it's fine

[faint flower]

So uh guys i got a new 5070 and a new 650w modular psu with an inbuild 12v connectot

The gpu wont power up

[tidal geyser]

since its sold in Norway

[true stirrup]

Check if it's plugged in correctly

[faint flower]

I did

[exotic cape]

even i could tell you prevous owner were either ukrainan or urssian

and we have alot of those in norway atm

[faint flower]

So uh it works

But it doesnt work with the psu 12v

[brave brook]

can you show the connector from upside ? From this angle it looks like there is a small gap between the cable and connector

[faint flower]

I unplugged it already

To test with the nvidia one

[faint flower]

But yeah i can test

Wait

[brave brook]

the tolerances for non-plugged in and plugged in are very minimal, so if you are even 0.2mm out, it counts as not powered

[brave brook]

i would say you need to try to plug that further

[faint flower]

It doesnt go in further

☠️

[faint flower]

It wont go further in the psu

[brave brook]

🤷‍♂️ to me it seems you have gaps on both sides. have you tried the cable other way around, just in case ? And yes, you can try with the nvidia adapter instead maybe

[faint flower]

I have tried it

Bruh the nvidia adapter goes in fully

[final wasp]

Try the other side if there both the same connector

[faint flower]

This is a joke

Wtf is this shit

Okay i forcefully pushed the psu one in

Itd fully in now

[clear tulip]

hello! i need help with something

yesterday i connect my android to usb flash bios of my pc by mistake... after that mouse and keyboard stopped working... those just kept connecting and disconnecting each second.. so i restarted.. but after windows booted properly. got display.. but keyboard and mouse acted the same way.. i went into bios and reset the settings to default and for couple of hours it was fixed but now i am facing the issue again.. I have checked mouse annd keyboard in different setups.they are okay..why is this happening? and Will reinstalling the bios fix the issue?

[final wasp]

Have you updated your usb drivers?

Usb power settings maybe

Or maybe try a non usb3.0 port

[final wasp]

^

[faint flower]

You were right man

It works now love you

[rigid fjord]

if that's the adapter for the gpu, it should not be plugged into the psu directly

[faint flower]

No dont worry

I just compared the psu and nvidia adapte

To how deep it goes in

Cause the psu one didnt easily go in

[ripe marsh]

strange question, are there any price points where Nvidia has a more compelling offer this generation compaired to AMD or Intel? obviously excluding the super high end where neither have competing cards.

[faint flower]

How do i cable manage this now

[latent pasture]

start pulling stuff from the back

[faint flower]

K

[tidal geyser]

yup

[latent pasture]

those are the thickest fucking fan cables

[tidal geyser]

I order from Proshop always since I get 22% off everything and they have their own section for promos so I don't need to email them

[exotic cape]

proshop is decent

[tidal geyser]

that is true, got a 11th gen sticker and its just like this

[faint flower]

Thanks i will try that

[exotic cape]

its fun that one model in our market is the same model number as a upgraded version for another market

i have no idea if its good or not.
got it for like 250€

The 3050 is better

[abstract wigeon]

i want to stream games from my main pc to my tv in another room, the steam link app sucks for this on the tv as the latency is horrid and so is image quality, would it be better if i had another pc attached to the tv? what specs should it have? wanna stay fairly cheap

[exotic cape]

almost all streaming is going to have a delay.
best option could actually be to get a smart tv with remote desktop and gamepass ability.

[abstract wigeon]

streaming from my pc to my brothers is no issue

to the tv the latency is about half a second, and image is ruined by tearing and compression artifacts

have changed settings all about to no success

[exotic cape]

thats the tv's problem

not pc/ streaming

how old is the tv?

[tidal geyser]

aliexpress is fun

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/ZLsgMC
my attempt at a sub 1100 gbp build, some parts used, some parts are on sale

i was tryna get it under 1k but id use a 7900xt for that

[south arrow]

Looks good ggs should handle 99% of things

[chrome ether]

gonna get it in about november ish

[tidal geyser]

I feel like I found out why the fingerprint reader stopped working

[chrome ether]

im selling my 3700x and 6750xt build, will get some birthday money and another 100 from repairing 2 pcs

[south arrow]

Frigging ribbons

[latent pasture]

buy 5700x3d from aliexpress

[chrome ether]

no, im selling it, its final, im getting like 250 profit anyways

plus the vrms would explode with a 5700x3d

[latent pasture]

your loss
$150 upgrade that is on par with buying am5 ddr5

[latent pasture]

????? it uses like 60-80w lmao

[chrome ether]

i dont mind

[chrome ether]

a320m hdv

[latent pasture]

actually most of the time even less than that

[chrome ether]

id rather platform hop and get a 7800x3d down the line

or maybe id sell this and get onto am6

this is like the first decentish build ive had since 2012ish

[latent pasture]

worrying about vrms is the worst thing hardware unboxed has done to the pc community

[chrome ether]

its unstable, im not gonna risk it

id genuinely rather just get onto am5

[latent pasture]

btw this exceedingly pitiful vrm a320 mobo was able to run a 16 core 5950x with only 10% worse ALL 16 core MAX WORKLOAD performance and was able to reach 5.15ghz in lightly threaded tasks

but yeah sure worry about vrms in a 4ghz 8core

[chrome ether]

mine is overheating and crashes often

[terse pewter]

i think you have the wrong takeaway for what they have said

its just another thing to consider when buying a mobo

when you have two options, you will obviously want to pick the one with better overall performance/features, and that includes vrms

[latent pasture]

plus the vrms would explode with a 5700x3d
mine is overheating and crashes often (on 3700x)

[chrome ether]

this is the lowest of the low

[latent pasture]

see what i sent above

[chrome ether]

id just genuinely not do it

[latent pasture]

not to mention in every single possible test 5700x3d uses less power than 3700x lol

[chrome ether]

id have to get a new cooler, better ram, newer storage

its not just that, probably a larger case too

[latent pasture]

how does a cpu upgrade require any of those

[chrome ether]

16gb of idfk 2400mhz teampoop ram

512gb of sata ssd

the bad stock cooler

[latent pasture]

wow what a coincidence, one of the big benefits of x3d is that because of the so much cache, it actually sees barely any performance scaling with ram
what would be like +10-20% perf on nonx3d is +1-2% on x3d

[chrome ether]

can you just stop

[latent pasture]

waw ur going to a cpu that uses even less power

[chrome ether]

its my decision man, it might be better but im going a different way

i just want a better selling value and a nicer upgrade path in the future

with a 5700x3d id have to upgrade my whole setup

with a 9600x id have to upgrade the gpu

[latent pasture]

and here is the peak clownery in this statement
ur buying for "upgrade path"
yet you are already on a platform with this excellent upgrade path, but refuse to use it
imagine in a few years instead of buying 10800x3d, youll just go "oh ill buy am6 with ddr6 ram"
bc thats essentially what you are doing now

[terse pewter]

ok this doesnt make sense

arent you running am4?

[chrome ether]

yeah

[terse pewter]

so you would be upgrading cpu mobo ram at least

[chrome ether]

but its the worst mobo findable, the worst ram i could find, selling it now just to get some money back

so i can get onto am5 and get some better performance

the 9600x can handle any gpu id want to go for

[latent pasture]

also shouldnt this be the other way around

[chrome ether]

the fps numbers with a 9600x are just better

with a 7900xt id rather have the 9600x

[latent pasture]

with an rtx 5090
r u getting that?

[chrome ether]

no?

[latent pasture]

yes

ppl test with 5090 bc thats what showcases cpu differences
anything less than that and even really old cpus arent far off

9070xt is abt single digit % less than 7900xt

[chrome ether]

that isnt a 5090 though

[latent pasture]

exactly

[chrome ether]

thats a decent mid range gpu

[latent pasture]

exactly

[latent pasture]

you will only see this with a 4090 or 5090 or maybe their respective 80s

[chrome ether]

id rather have the 9600x

[latent pasture]

whats that

[chrome ether]

if i do upgrade, its better

[tidal geyser]

versus

[tidal geyser]

what is the performance difference

in games

[chrome ether]

some comp games im seeing from 50-100fps more

[abstract wigeon]

very new

[latent pasture]

the pcpp list you sent has 5070 so ill base off that
in the 5070 test above the 9600x isnt appreciably far from even ddr4 non x3d
its just too weak to showcase cpu differences

[chrome ether]

cs2 the fps max is around 700fps, for the 5700x3d its 617

[chrome ether]

look man

i dont care, im gonna go with am5 anyways

[tidal geyser]

yea go am5

[chrome ether]

i dont know what youre trying to do but near me the 5700x3d is too expensive to justify for a half a decade old chip

am4 is aging and id like to get off of it

[tidal geyser]

the 5700X3D just costs WAY WAY too much

[chrome ether]

my motherboard doesnt even have above pcie gen 3 nvme support

[tidal geyser]

well it does not do anything anyways

[left dove]

tbh gen3 is pleeeenty anyways for m.2

[vestal wadi]

How do i unlink my accont to the computer when im going to sell it?

[rigid fjord]

tbf, i'd get a 7600x over a 9600x

[chrome ether]

i mean, it has a lower tdp and its similar in performance

the 9600x is cheaper than the 7600x near me

[tidal geyser]

'na its like 20$ more

[chrome ether]

130 vs about 170

[latent pasture]

where is 9600x 130

[chrome ether]

its on sale

[left dove]

It says on the box limited 20 or smth

[chrome ether]

oh my god what on gods green earth

[latent pasture]

its useless tho, even with 2 fans its longer than many 3fan models
so it doesnt really do anything

[chrome ether]

it does fucking exist guh

[tidal geyser]

i really hope you got that for a goood price

[random gyro]

Ye for 400 euro

my 6750xt is that same model and its kinda hot

its wild people will just state something does/doesn't exist when the internet is literally in their hands so they can fact-check themselves

[rigid fjord]

you got this but with a 9060xt vs equivalent card dude?

[random gyro]

Ikr its right in front of my eyes it clearly exists

[chrome ether]

i didnt even know those older duals were part of 7000 series

[random gyro]

This is why ppl say don't trust the wiki always

[chrome ether]

that designs been being used since 20 series

[left dove]

because its a decent design

[rigid fjord]

i see no issues there

[random gyro]

Ye hdd became obsolete tbh i put nvmes

[chrome ether]

i thought theyd switch to this

[random gyro]

I just need to upgrade my CPU

[latent pasture]

they didnt test it
hwub has one but only 4 games bc they also test medium high ultra for 1080 1440 4k
and only down to 7600x

[random gyro]

I got a r5 3600x so it is gonna bottleneck it a bit

[vestal wadi]

I cant unlink my account on my pc bc it wont show up, i just took out my other hard drive can that have anything to do with the fact i dont find my account in settings?

[left dove]

huh?

[vestal wadi]

When im in settings to unlink my accont to the computer it dosent show up

[left dove]

If you're going to sell your pc do a fresh install of windows to get rid of any personal shit.

Don't just unlink the account

[vestal wadi]

Well im giving it to my girlfrienf but i want to get my accont of it first

[left dove]

so just fresh install windows for her

what is there to not understand

[vestal wadi]

Okey but all my stuff will then be gone right?

[left dove]

Yes?..

[chrome ether]

well duh

[sleek remnant]

no

[vestal wadi]

Alr

[sleek remnant]

[latent pasture]

format the drive in the install process
if u just install iirc it keeps some stuff in a windows.old folder

[left dove]

that depends if you opt to keep files, which you shouldn't.

[latent pasture]

or just delete it after

[random gyro]

Some of ny friends tell me I'd have a airflow issue with this old case but i ran the xtx on max graphics on warthunder and it was 55c gpu and 70 gpu memory

[latent pasture]

well warthunder is extremely easy to run

i can get 60fps on tank matches in forest/city maps on a vega igpu laptop (not ulq too)

[random gyro]

I tested it on hl2 ray tracing also

[left dove]

your chassis has plenty of holes to breathe from- as long as you keep the overall airflow in the chassis up your card shouldn't have any issues

[random gyro]

Ye

Also is it ok that i used 3rd party psu cables

[latent pasture]

if its designed for ur psu no issues

[left dove]

also props for running an old chassis and not stupid new glass-and-rgb-everywhere cases

[random gyro]

Ehhhh no i used these express psu cables

[left dove]

are they extensions or replacements

[latent pasture]

if it works for the psu then its designed for it
unless u mean extensions

[random gyro]

Idk ik they're not cooler master psu cables lol

[left dove]

do they replace the psu cables or do they just extend them

[random gyro]

Replace

[left dove]

I'd be mildly sus if they're not at least cablemod

[left dove]

I mean they don't seem like they're undersized

as long as they aren't getting hot to the touch under a heavy load I'd say they're okay

[random gyro]

Before the guy sold me the gpu i tested it and it ran i think that's the important indicator

[random gyro]

I'll test this actually when i run another ray tracing game

[left dove]

im not worried about the gpu im worried about the cables being undersized for the power they're gonna see

i.e. fire

[random gyro]

Ye

I ran hl2 rtx on ultra for a good 1h-2 i did get a faint smell but i think that's from the gpu cuz its new, the guy that sold it only bought it 1 month ago

The factory smell after u buy a new gpu

[left dove]

You should be physically feeling the wires for excessive heat.

[random gyro]

Yea I'll do that after i turn pc off to be safe lol

[left dove]

n-

[random gyro]

Haven't tested that actually

[left dove]

No you want an active load being ran while you're checking

[random gyro]

Interesting

[left dove]

otherwise whats the fucking point lmao

if the wires are undersized/shitty your gpu wires will get warm/hot to the touch and that's a sign that they're crap

[random gyro]

I'll def test that

[random junco]

fuck

[random gyro]

Also tbh I don't think it matters if it has 2 or 3 fans, if u do the physics the airflow is probably the same

[random junco]

i tried putting this 2600 back into its clamshell case and the pins just bent

[left dove]

It is not the same.

[plush wren]

[random gyro]

rlly?

[left dove]

shear the pins off and use it as a hockey puck

[random junco]

i tried fixing the pins and i just bent another one

i suck at this.. it literally came today

[left dove]

If you add another fan, of course the airflow is going to increase

Did yall skip high school physics or something

[tidal geyser]

unless the card is super special mo fans also means mo longer also the last fan tends to be blow trough

[random gyro]

It depends on the size and weight tho if u knew physics

[tidal geyser]

weight??????

[random gyro]

The 3 fans are 92mm

While the 2 are 110mm

[tidal geyser]

show the top of a 3 fan vs 2 fan

[random gyro]

I'm just reading the thing on the internet on their size lel

[left dove]

if the density of the radiator & all you do is extend it, the heat output of the gpu cores, and the fan geometry stay the same, yes, the overall airflow will increase because there's an extra fan and weight has nothing to do with it

[rigid fjord]

shame, was curious to see the differences it would have

[tidal geyser]

the 3 fan card also has a WAY bigger flow trough area

[left dove]

My brain hurts.

[rigid fjord]

nope, no, and definitely not

[digital egret]

I added +1000 MHz memory on my RTX 3080 in MSI Afterburner. How big of an increase is that compared to stock?

[tidal geyser]

yea how big is it

[digital egret]

i dont understand why u asking me how big is it

[left dove]

srs though will you make me breakfast

[tidal geyser]

how big of a difference did it make

[random junco]

flip this bruh I just broke the pin off

[rigid fjord]

in that kind of case, cable management is more a pain than not enough airflow, multiple ways around it with that old a case tbh

[digital egret]

idk bruh thats why im asking?

For an RTX 3080, is +1000 MHz memory overclock considered a big jump compared to stock, and roughly what percent increase does it translate to?

[left dove]

perf its a hockey puck now

[random junco]

expensive hockey puck...

[left dove]

its a 2600 its not that expensive

[tidal geyser]

you take the fps you first got then the fps after and you can get percent

[tidal geyser]

ok its like 10x the price of a hocky puck

[digital egret]

oh so theres no like accurate percentages for just 1000Mhz?
like its all different

[tidal geyser]

how can there be a accurate difference you have not even said what its for

[rigid fjord]

if you was in the uk and near by, i'd share what i'm cooking tbh

[left dove]

[digital egret]

sorry but im dumb as shit when it comes to PC. its for gaming?

[tidal geyser]

end me

[random gyro]

airflow is a thing between the operational point not by the fan count alone thats what i mean by the physics of it, if u extend the fin density of something it raises airflow resistance idk i can get more nerdy on this but ye picture it how big turbine fans work

[rigid fjord]

i do like my free healthcare to much to move countries when i really think about it

[tidal geyser]

more fans more flow

[digital egret]

@tidal geyser like does putting 1000+Mhz in memory clock give me like 10% boost over my base gpu power or is it not like that

[random gyro]

idk my assumption is based on the physics of it, hardware wise i could be wrong

[left dove]

Airflow is air physically moving wtf do you mean "operational point"

[tidal geyser]

is it?

[random gyro]

ye but again the 3 fans are smaller than the 2 big fans, i personally think they equate to it

[left dove]

Holy shit dude

[random gyro]

actually u got me curious let me check my notes what physics formula would relate to this

[tidal geyser]

bigger fans can do more airflow at lower RPM but if the smaller fans can go WAY WAY faster then like still more airflow

[random gyro]

operational point is the airflow and pressure of the fans

in physics terms

delta p sink or something

[random gyro]

u got me curious on this i swear i had one type of physics formula from uni about this stuff

but keep in mind my logic is behind the physics of it i could be wrong hardware wise

[tidal geyser]

i hate math, great at just knowing shit but cant calculate it

[left dove]

what difference would there be between "physics and hardware"

what does that even mean

[random gyro]

like the image sim showed at the back of the gpu

thats what i mean

[left dove]

Dude you're overthinking this in the wrong direction.

[random gyro]

i mean u asked me why i think that way so i showed lol

[tidal geyser]

airflow is air flow, how much air is flowing but the main point here is cooling capacity, bigger cooler even if it has less airflow is still better than high airflow but small cooler

[rigid fjord]

when it comes to fan airflow, sim is right on that point, also blade amount vs blade curve affects it as well

[tidal geyser]

like look at what you can do if you use physics to the fullest, 2 MASSIVE fans that are able to flow trough the entire card

[left dove]

fan geometry
radiator size
fin density
rpm
fan diameter
hub diameter

[tidal geyser]

bigger hub is kinda just RPM

bigger hub means cable to go faster but less blade

[rigid fjord]

push pull method on the foundation cards that nvidia use in this btw @random gyro

[left dove]

fan/hub diameter link back to blade geometry but they're still their own variables

[exotic cape]

FFS, the new TV bricked itself

[left dove]

thats what u get

[random gyro]

oh ye this is cool

[rigid fjord]

LG tv?

[tidal geyser]

off brand

[left dove]

sceptre i think

[exotic cape]

Cepter

[tidal geyser]

yes

[left dove]

EVEN WORSE

[tidal geyser]

its pretty big in the nordics

[left dove]

The nordics should get something else.

[random gyro]

ugh i gotta open the manual to see whats the max rpm for this version of the XTX

[exotic cape]

Literally went through the setup, it turned itself off. And now it won't turn on.

[tidal geyser]

not in there

also like are you not using it right now?

[random gyro]

ye but i havent downloaded software to monitor the rpm unless adrenaline has it
