tech-chat-1

[amber adder]

I did and it didn't work I used that method for days straight and didn't work

[wheat torrent]

Does this happen everytime

[south arrow]

[wheat torrent]

[cold skiff]

I mean i would just reinstall windows. However I’m going to say without very detailed instructions and a large length of time you’ll not be able to. I’d suggest a repair shop to do it for you

[wheat torrent]

Reinstalling windows is not that hard

[amber adder]

It doesn't but problem is resolved

[cold skiff]

The dude didn’t know to hold his laptop on/off button down to hard turn off. It’s a repair job kind of person.

[amber adder]

Important files thon

[rose stream]

Pretty sure the hard part is just being sure of everything you want deleted on the drive when you reinstall or if you need to sift through and back up anything.

[south arrow]

Backup before disaster

[wheat torrent]

Always an opportunity to learn

Do repair shops have a like HDD they use to copy your data?

Or do they just tell you yo backup it yourself lmao

[amber adder]

Did I mention I dlused the on and off button alot of times and this time it worked?

[cold skiff]

Over discord is probably not the best way for someone that’s approaching technology like they just discovered fire

[formal sonnet]

You should ALWAYS backup any files you cannot bare to lose on any system. Things can and will go wrong. If your laptop burst into flames tomorrow, are there files on it that you couldn't live without? If yes, back them up immediately.

Use anything. Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, a USD flash drive. A backup somewhere is better than no backup at all. Don't delay, backup today!

[wheat torrent]

What If you come with a 4tb os drive 80% full

You would hope they would back it up

[cold skiff]

The corn is always backed up to the NAS

[wheat torrent]

Usb flashdrive works, temporarily

[south arrow]

Hides it in my old discs no one will find them here xD

[amber adder]

Some guy created a new network mimicking my own network trying to hack me is that like dangerous or no or like free wifi 🤔

[cold skiff]

I have some old hard drives of data I thought I couldn’t live without. 15 years on I’ve never booted them up again.

[south arrow]

||jokes please dont use discs sincerly a dvd lover||

[rose stream]

Well what happened to the peas and carrots then?

[wheat torrent]

With budget normal SD cards and flashdrives you should expect them to die faster than your other alternatives

[formal sonnet]

What? "New network" meaning what exactly?

[cold skiff]

Genuinely a good medium if you have files that fit onto them. Will last the rest of time tbfh

[rose stream]

||I'll use BDs then so I can use less or no DVDs at all. ;)||

[amber adder]

Like a copy of my networks trying to get me to connect to It

[south arrow]

If you really need it but like one wrong scratch

[cold skiff]

You can just sand it down

[formal sonnet]

As long as you didn't connect to it, you're fine. I can use Linux to create 10,000 WiFi "networks" in about 30 seconds. Just because I make the networks doesn't mean everyone around me is now hacked.

[wheat torrent]

[south arrow]

I have my small hoard

[cold skiff]

But again though. It’s a backup that’s gonna be stored for a long time you won’t get to

[amber adder]

Is it dangerous I want free wifi 🤔

[cold skiff]

It’s genuinely a great medium for long term storage

[wheat torrent]

...

[south arrow]

I just think theyre neat ya know

[amber adder]

Just kidding

[cold skiff]

Even better is kids won’t even know how to use them

[formal sonnet]

Connecting to unknown networks can be dangerous. I cannot recommend this.

[wheat torrent]

I low key don't know what you're talking about and it seems like you don't either 💀

[amber adder]

What Xbox cds are those which Xbox

[south arrow]

I also recently started collecting ide and sata dvd drives as I find them for 5$

[south arrow]

Ive had every model except 1.5

Still have a 1.4 1.0 and a 1.1 hanging around

[amber adder]

Ur a big Xbox fan I see

I was so thrilled for my ps3

Then i upgraded to a 4 then a laptop and then hopefully a pc

[wheat torrent]

Today's economy and game optimization 🔥

Grandeous

[amber adder]

I hate looking for prebuilts in my country they're all just bad Intel cpus and a 1050n ti or a 1060.for 500 bucks

[wheat torrent]

Those are struggling in modern games

[amber adder]

Building a pc with used parts sucks because you might run into some expensive issued

[wheat torrent]

There are always low end games and old games though

[south arrow]

Also system collection in the living room lol

[wheat torrent]

I need one shelf like this

[south arrow]

Sold the 360 and ps3 cause I just dont usem as much

The cable management is gross but the kids have a blast and myself ofc

[ebon marlin]

anyone know any good games for the steamy deck

https://tenor.com/view/cat-glass-cute-cute-cat-cat-in-glass-gif-7716823274462348253

[amber adder]

Wh9ch some are just 2d games and not fun tbh

[amber adder]

Th9se cables annoy me

[south arrow]

All necessary though, and if i had to choose between air/dust and ugliness I choose the uglyy

[amber adder]

Just a neat freak

[south arrow]

One day ill find like a drilled vent wood shelf of sorts or make one

[rose stream]

Most games are good for the Steam Deck. Just don't expect too much and you're fine.

Also, genuine recommendations I would give would be:

• Tetris Effect Connected
• PacMan World 2 RePac (which released recently and is actually pretty awesome from all I've heard)
• Platypus Reclayed (I played it, definitely worth it if you want a real challenge)
• KH3 (yes, the hardware can certainly handle that game fine)
• Spyro Reignited Trilogy

[ebon marlin]

I know but something that I can run on low power mode without having to have the deck on the full power mode just to have a playable framerate

[amber adder]

Used to be in the military btw

[south arrow]

Do you like action, sports, rpg, anime, or mmo games?

[rose stream]

All the games I listed then, running KH3, Spyro, and PMW2 on medium.

[south arrow]

I dont want to be like animal crossing and you be like eww

[ebon marlin]

this looks like a minigame in FNAF World lmao

spyro does sound interesting

[rose stream]

Lmao. This game series I'm pretty sure either existed at the same time as FNAF or before it.

[left trellis]

kraken 360 got shipped :D

ts might go crazy

[south arrow]

Spyros a classic to 100% can be grindy very time oriented

[ebon marlin]

original came out in 22 yrs ago

[rose stream]

It's early 2000s of a game series that just came back earlier this month as that remake.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platypus_(video_game)

[ebon marlin]

what's KH3

[south arrow]

Crashbandicoot games as well my brother digged the slys. Jack and Dexter titles are smooth

[rose stream]

2002 is when the OG came out.

Even saw a release on PSP at the time too.

[ebon marlin]

why the fuck is tetris almost 40€

and why the fuck does it support VR?????

[rose stream]

Because that's what it had when it came out on PS4.

[azure topaz]

its good

allegedly

[rose stream]

It was a weird thing too, but it was pretty cool.

[ebon marlin]

Tetris can't be 34€ type of good

[rose stream]

It's an awesome game, trust me.

[azure topaz]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7T7mg6JZZzg

[rose stream]

And has an online mode that works on Linux with zero issue.

[azure topaz]

video i referenced:

[rose stream]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_Hearts_III

[azure topaz]

tldr he liked it, is cool and the vr mode is surprisingly good

[gloomy sleet]

vr tetris?

why though

i’d just be 2d but in front of you instead of a screen

[formal sonnet]

Although, KH1&2 were my jam back in the day. Those games rocked on PS2. So many hours.

[south arrow]

Can't go wrong with kingdom hearts either

[rose stream]

What's funny is that III, despite being a UE4 title with heavier LoD based features in it and whatnot that's very graphics focused, it's not as heavy as I expected it to be.

[south arrow]

Reducing those polyss

[rose stream]

It's surprisingly lightweight, so as long as you're not trying to play it before the shaders have time to compile fully.

[azure topaz]

yeah i played a lot of kh2 on the family ps2

[rose stream]

Same. Even after I got the HD collections for PS4 and then later for PC, I still managed to play the hell out of them.

[south arrow]

My brother just crushed those and is now onto the final fantasy line

[ebon marlin]

bro what the fuck is this Steam Sale

[rancid solstice]

Another dead 5090

[ebon marlin]

Hollow Knight and Binding of Isaac both aren't on sale

[south arrow]

How 🙁

[azure topaz]

isaac is like 3$

[ebon marlin]

the old one?

[azure topaz]

wow overdesigned cooler does it again

[south arrow]

The latch not release?

[left trellis]

can it run valorant

[azure topaz]

too much weight there

[rose stream]

I still need to either budget for RePac or eventually get all four chapters for DeltaRune.

[south arrow]

Oofs

[rancid solstice]

Nah not anymore at least

[rose stream]

I just haven't decided which one to go for first.

[azure topaz]

shaking during driving while card installed and not supported = break pcb

and that area has surprisingly a lot of traces right there and they super ndie

[ebon marlin]

where

[south arrow]

Id be the big sad

[rancid solstice]

Honestly this zotac card isn’t too bad compared to other cards

[rose stream]

I REALLY want to try RePac though because literally NO ONE expected THAT sort of comeback out of Namco Bandai for that series.

[azure topaz]

the og is $1.54

[south arrow]

Smaller then some

[azure topaz]

or the bundle with the dlc is 2$

[formal sonnet]

How well do the PC versions run by the way? I do want them on Steam, but I'm forever wary of Square Enix titles that have undergone ... "porting" as I've heard some of their ports are about as optimized as Souls games.

[rose stream]

We all thought World 1 RePac was gonna be a one-time thing.

[ebon marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-explain-tired-cat-tired-gif-8193494768301164900

[azure topaz]

oof

this is why 2.5-3 slot is good

[rancid solstice]

Exactly

[azure topaz]

i promise we can cool 600w capably in 3 slots

[rose stream]

Weeelll it's been a while since they applied patches and fixes, alongside driver updates on AMD's and Nvidia's part to fix some issues post porting to Steam. So far, it's pretty solid since then.

[azure topaz]

i SWEAR

[rancid solstice]

Have a 4070 ti super from zotac and it’s 2.5 slot

[ebon marlin]

what i'm thinking about getting currently

[azure topaz]

we used to cool dual gpu cards with a single shitass blower

[azure topaz]

at 300+w

[formal sonnet]

Ooooh good to know. Thank you. If that's the case, I'ma re-add them to my wishlist.

[rancid solstice]

Something like this card

[ebon marlin]

dual slot yummy

[rancid solstice]

It’s only 2 slot

[azure topaz]

yus

[rancid solstice]

Still 600w

[valid fiber]

dam took me a few seconds to realize what I'm looking at here

[rancid solstice]

It’s pretty dense and somewhat heavy but no where near compared to the 3.5 to 4 slot cards

[azure topaz]

exactlyyyy

[south arrow]

Chunkkks

[azure topaz]

use the more efficient tech we took years and years to figure out please

instead of sticking to old cheap ways on my 2000$ MSRP gpu

[rancid solstice]

Also since the card is also shorter, the weight is more concentrated near the middle of the pcie card

[azure topaz]

the profit margin can suffer on this one

[rancid solstice]

Where there is more support

[azure topaz]

and less toward that slot latch

which is held in by hopes and dreams

[wheat torrent]

YUMMY

[craggy cove]

oops

[rancid solstice]

Look at how thick the card is compared to my hand

[craggy cove]

realized that i hadnt finished cyberpunk before going to windows 11

[rancid solstice]

Like why when the founders card is only 2 slot

[azure topaz]

to be used on a random donor board off ebay?

[craggy cove]

meaning all my progress (was doing side quests before the last mission) is gone

[azure topaz]

or back to asus

[wheat torrent]

There are small third party cards also though

[craggy cove]

northwestrepair can fix this, my goat

[rancid solstice]

Possibly but it’s gone back to ASUs by now

Even smaller cards can die too like this aio msi 5090

[wheat torrent]

All cards can die

[ivory mountain]

mine dont because i tell them not to

[rancid solstice]

I mean in the way of transit damage

[wheat torrent]

I transport my GPU in its box

[wheat torrent]

Also doesn't inflatable foam fix this problem

[rancid solstice]

Fix?

Even with that it can easily get damaged

[wheat torrent]

Well 🤷

[rancid solstice]

If a card is heavy enough, the flexible foam can compress which means the gpu pcb is flexed

And then just a small crack could appear

And once that crack is there, it gets worse with every vibration

[south arrow]

Only you can prevent sag

Insert pc smokey the bear

[wheat torrent]

Such is life

[south arrow]

Every year thousands are effected, stay aware lol

[south arrow]

Lol

Halfway in just wompss

[azure topaz]

people claim sag does nothing and then this happens

and then suddenly when they get a sag bracket their card doesnt cool good anymore

because its fucking bent.

its natural state is now like that one nvme ssd meme

[wheat torrent]

Interesting

[south arrow]

XD

[wheat torrent]

Sum Ting Wong

[rancid solstice]

Lmao, saw this like 3 days ago

Drive didn’t die yet lol

[azure topaz]

yeah i did that once on accident wont lie

[rancid solstice]

But give it some time and it’s gonna cause some problems

[azure topaz]

i noticed before i installed the board into the case but i was like "oh god"

[rancid solstice]

These drives can bend quite a bit

[azure topaz]

making the solder balls do gymnastics

[rancid solstice]

And it will be fine but once it cracks the solder balls

Ggs

[royal inlet]

Is anyone familiar with steam sales?

[oblique hill]

Hey guys, quick question. I got a 16U server rack and I was wondering what the general rule of thumb is in terms of order. Should gaming PC's in rack case go on the absolute top? Or bottom?

[ebon marlin]

how the fuck is southpark fractured butthole similar to lego marvel and yakuza 0

[royal inlet]

My fiance wanted the sims 3 from the steam store before ea stuff happens , the sale for the bundle says 94 dollars when added to cart it shows as 170. When I go to complete transaction it stills shows 170. Should I wait another day or 2 for steam sale to fully update ?

[royal inlet]

Superheroes

[ebon marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/kefçî-kurmancî-kurd-tu-vi-kefçi-dibîne-smile-gif-16202861

downloaded sims 4 + all the dlcs through fitgirl for my girlfriend

saved a nice 1k+

[royal inlet]

She wants 3. I think three is also the better game

[ebon marlin]

100 bucks for a single sims game is diabolical i'd just get em through fitgirl

[royal inlet]

It's for all the dlc

[ebon marlin]

I know

you can get all dlc alongside it

Sims is the only game i've ever pirated since they charge obscene amounts of money for their products

morally right aswell since it's EA

my girl didn't care if it was pirated just happy she could play sims with the dlc's

[dire mist]

Hey i just bought a msi b850 gaming plus wifi6e with a 7800x3d and 6400mhz corsair vegence 32 gb and i have a 5080 i cant get it to post ive been stuck for hours. If i have both ram in 2 and 4 i get first red and yellow colors then they disapper th3n my monitor turns on and the green light comes and also dissaperes with no signal and then my pc shuts down. If i have one ram in the single first slot(1) then i have the red and yellow light on and dont get past that. Ive also flashed bios to the newest and my gpu works cuz it worked with the other motherboard

[ebon marlin]

you sure it's not memory training?

memory training on AMD takes a really long while on first boot

[dire mist]

Memory training? Well it just shuts down and does not start again

[wheat torrent]

on my 7900 I don't see any problem and i Have 64gb of ram

I heard multiple people mention memory training but I never ever experienced it

[fringe prairie]

64gb vram damn

[ebon marlin]

it's only on first boot

[wheat torrent]

I got only 37% of that 😭

[left trellis]

which light

[dire mist]

What do you mean? I think i explained it

[wheat torrent]

aren't there multiple lights on your mobo?

[azure topaz]

there is

he explained it

[azure topaz]

ok so ram in slot one will never work so dont try that

at least if youre doing only 1/2 dimms

[dire mist]

Okay got it

[azure topaz]

it always has to be slots 2/4 for the first sticks

or whatever is labeled "FIRST" on the silk screen on the board

my first am5 board wouldnt allow post if my dual channel kit was in 1/3

the 2nd one i had would but it would warn me and wouldnt continue past X point like that

[dire mist]

But still even in 2 and 4 nothing happens

[azure topaz]

try cmos reset

[dire mist]

Already tried that to

[azure topaz]

which way

taking the batt out or shortin pins?

[dire mist]

Batteey and button

[azure topaz]

mkay

tried both sticks in just slot 2?

[dire mist]

Still the same

[ebon marlin]

reseat ur cpu

[dire mist]

Can i like send a video of it happening? Is that allowed on the server?

[left dove]

[azure topaz]

yeah

[ebon marlin]

also might aswell check if ur cpu burnt

[azure topaz]

this is a first time boot it wouldnt be burnt

seems to be an over time that they explode

[dire mist]

Well the cpu is totally new and i also checked the pins on the motherboard just incase

[ebon marlin]

still do a reseat

[azure topaz]

i would RMA something if that doesnt work

[ebon marlin]

as this is a fairly common issue on AMD

[clear canyon]

Apple chip with salsa

[wheat torrent]

didnt you say it doesnt boot for hours

[azure topaz]

either board, ram, or cpu, obviously

judging by behavior idk. maybe board or cpu

since it trains but then turns off on the second post

green light is boot
yellow is dram
red is cpu
probably

[wheat torrent]

I sent it

[verbal prawn]

^

[wheat torrent]

ez debug

what a name

[azure topaz]

green will generally happen when the systemc ompletes boot so the last one really isnt uhh accurate

BOOT flashes on my z790i edge on every post

anything successful anyways*

altho ig it could flash every time cause its not initialized yet and doesnt see the storage idk but i dont think green is the problem here yk

[wheat torrent]

its interesting though

[wheat torrent]

like what do you return in this case how do you figure out whats broken

🌈

[dire mist]

So while this was happening the screen started but no signal

[azure topaz]

yeah it looks like its trying to init the gpu then fails or something, the white debug led flashes which is vga

try taking out your gpu and seeing if the iGPU posts, unless its an F chip

[wheat torrent]

7800x3d, has integrated 👍

[azure topaz]

my bad i forget system info as fast as i get it

[wheat torrent]

I just gave context no worries

do mobos with 00 led lights have more debugging than 4 led ones? (is it just 4 errors or does it show more)

idk what the 00 display is named

[azure topaz]

yes

shows more

[dire mist]

It did the same thing but no white led

But still shuts down later

[wheat torrent]

cooked lowk idk

[dire mist]

I feel cooked beyond

I layed 700 dollars🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[azure topaz]

same with the other dimm?

was this an upgrade or new system you bought

[dire mist]

Upgrade

[azure topaz]

so you have previous am5 parts?

[dire mist]

No i have a am4 system

[azure topaz]

ah ok so kinda new computer i see

[dire mist]

Damn this sucks

[azure topaz]

yeah im not sure wahat to rma in this sitch

if you can test the ram or cpu in a friends system that would be cool

at least the ram

[dire mist]

Wait wtf

It boot3d without the gpu???

It booted wkrh the ibtergrated?

[azure topaz]

ok cool

[wheat torrent]

yes it has integrated graphics

[azure topaz]

try both dimms now and properly

slots 2/4

[wheat torrent]

🎉 happy news that it booted

[dire mist]

Well why dosent my 5080 work? It worked before on the other mothercard?

[wheat torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/clueless-aware-twitch-forsen-emote-gif-25354609

[dire mist]

Im so confused

[wheat torrent]

reseat it

after you get it working with 2 ram sticsk

[azure topaz]

not a pain moment just steps at a time here

[dire mist]

And there it shutted down??? Hahaha wtf

So it got into windows repair screen

[azure topaz]

is it getting too hot? did you leave the peel on it

[dire mist]

On what th2 cpu?

[azure topaz]

yesyes

[wheat torrent]

cooler

[azure topaz]

id unplug drives for now so it doesnt load into windows and freak out on old drivers

[dire mist]

Well the cooler is old

[verbal prawn]

Floppa I got 4000mhz "working" on my 5800x

[azure topaz]

ah ok

try to get it into the bios screen and not OS

[verbal prawn]

Makes it through one y cruncher run sometimes

[dire mist]

But the CPU doswnt have plastic on it right?

[azure topaz]

nah

[azure topaz]

see if it can do 1b in benchmate

if it fails right away just click start a few more times and see if it can do an run

[dire mist]

But why does it shut down

[wheat torrent]

🤷‍♂️

does it shut down in bios?

[dire mist]

Im in bios now

The cpu is 48c

[wheat torrent]

that seems high lowk

[dire mist]

And running 4800mhz

And not shutting down

[wheat torrent]

maybe its normal im not sure

[dire mist]

But dont tell me its my gpu💀💀

[wheat torrent]

48 on idle though with a aio cooler ?

[dire mist]

Yep

[dawn fog]

I have unstable download speed on steam. Sometimes get slow af like just bytes per second and sometimes 8-10 mb per second.

Any idea except changing server

[wheat torrent]

you got 2 ram sticks?

[dire mist]

1

[wheat torrent]

try installing 2 now

[dire mist]

Nah okay fuckk

It might be my 5080

Buttt howwww

[wheat torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/clueless-aware-twitch-forsen-emote-gif-25354609

[weak widget]

Is this a good list https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/4ps4zP

Basically a 5070 9600x nd 32 gigs

[wheat torrent]

try reseating the gpu and trying again

[dire mist]

I have tried that it dosent boot 🤦‍♂️ like now im kinda mad the gpu is turning on and everything but no output

[wheat torrent]

idk if it makes sense but try the other pcle slot maybe?

[dire mist]

I would but they decided to put that so far down that i need to take of the motherboard

[azure topaz]

just wait it could turn on after you try other things

reseat may fix gpu not wanting to work

[wheat torrent]

already did

[azure topaz]

oh ok i wasnt sure if we still had it out i had to setup a meeting right quick

[azure topaz]

for 2k cad you can probably get way better

[wheat torrent]

maybe changing pcie to 4.0 in bios idk idk

[dire mist]

Kinda confysdd atp

Wish it was like the speed was to high but irs 4800🥲

[weak widget]

Tell me btw I only want nvidia ion mind intel or amd. And I dont want 16gb

[verbal prawn]

Canada mentioned?

[azure topaz]

whats with the corsair ram, geniunely curious why you chose that

[verbal prawn]

Gimme a second let me cook

[dire mist]

Cuz i have corsair shit

[weak widget]

Ion know anything else u recommend?

[azure topaz]

not you mister

[azure topaz]

im fixing the list

[weak widget]

Alr bet

[verbal prawn]

Use Canada computers bundles btw

[azure topaz]

thats cheating

[wheat torrent]

well testing the gpu in another pc would help but idk, it's not looking good

[distant frigate]

lol nice. Looks like fiber to me

[hexed tapir]

They wanted to join the Corsair lawsuit

[distant frigate]

I asked the guy and he says he’s installing fiber to another home

jerry is a real canadian so he gets hacks

[weak widget]

Wym

[azure topaz]

he was talking to me cause i ignored the bundle

There's this ig https://www.canadacomputers.com/en/amd-desktop-processors/267630/amd-r7-7800x3d-asus-tuf-gaming-b650-e-wifi-corsair-rgb-32gb-d5-6000mhz-black-ram-bundlespecial.html

I'm at 4 percent

[dire mist]

Nothing appears and it shuts down

[verbal prawn]

I'm not long for this world

[azure topaz]

try the gpu in another system if you can and if it works return the board

[weak widget]

Would i save money?

[weak widget]

Or he ig

[azure topaz]

try updating the bios on the board, iirc there was some amd post issues on 50 series

[azure topaz]

no that ends up being more money but you end up with a faster cpu

tradeoff. the initial 630$ bundle he sent is good but has a smaller board that would look off in a bigger case but if its not a big deal its not a big deal

otherwise just go with whats in the list and forget

Okay im going to test updaiting the bios again to th3 newest

[ebon marlin]

holy 35 dlcs?

[summer token]

the game just refused to die

[azure topaz]

slayyy

i didnt want to make a whole new list i just edited his

[dire mist]

Btw should does lights be on while its flashing?

[azure topaz]

both lights?

[dire mist]

Yeah?

[azure topaz]

idk probably, since it flashes without a cpu and ram so it doesnt see them installecd

[azure topaz]

you typoed so i wasnt sure lol

if its flashing on the flash button i wouldnt touch anything

[dire mist]

Well the cpu qnd ram is i

[azure topaz]

yeah but the update doesnt use the cpu/ram

at least if youre using the usb quick flash

[dire mist]

Ah okay gotcha

[azure topaz]

if ur doing it thru the uefi menu thats diff but if its just the USB stick -> button on board yeah a lil diff

[dire mist]

Im flashing from the usb port

I have their newest bios update i could find

[azure topaz]

as long as you followed whatever instructions they provide you should be ok

[wheat torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cats-orange-cat-orange-cats-cat-weird-gif-17010424884748616697

why couldnt it run huh

[dire mist]

Nope still nothing from the 5080

Could it be not enough contact with th3 pcie?

Feels like the left one isnt all the way in but i cant really push it further

[carmine yew]

post pics of the card / slot

none of us have psychic remote viewing of the inside of your case

[carmine yew]

that looks pretty well seated

if the front IO Shield is against the case fully, it's def seated in front

[wheat torrent]

lowk the gpu seating sometimes confuses me

sometimes it feels not seated but it is

what if we got 2 latches on both side

[dire mist]

So i shouls get this when im using the intergrated?

[azure topaz]

spam enter if not reinstall windows

[azure topaz]

its from going to am4 -> 5

windows doesnt like when you just move platforms sometimes

[dire mist]

And there it shutdowned lmao hahaha okay so i should just spam enter

[azure topaz]

if its repeatedly shutting down idk if anything is going to work

try to get it into windows and if it cant stay on for that id assume board is cooked

so RMA that

[dire mist]

I cant do jackshit

Only bios works

[azure topaz]

well yeah new windows usb etc

kiunda figured spamming enter would do nothing but it works when you corrupt your os ram overclocking sometimes

[wheat torrent]

@azure topaz

he mentioned he gets 48 degrees in bios on cpu

[hexed tapir]

It is Corsair ram right

[azure topaz]

thats normal

[wheat torrent]

damn

hot boy cpu

[dire mist]

Yep it is corsair

[azure topaz]

idle temps dont matter unless youre throttling

[azure topaz]

already went thru that song and dance

[dire mist]

But why is it going to repair mode?

[azure topaz]

nothing of value there, all signs point to board/gpu

[azure topaz]

because it cant successfully boot

[wheat torrent]

failure to boot makes windows go into repair mode sometimes

[azure topaz]

it doesnt like whatever previous install was on the drive

[wheat torrent]

if you shut down your computer too many times normally it will do that also

[hexed tapir]

Is it a ASRock board on am5

[wheat torrent]

msi am5

[azure topaz]

brand new rig too*

[wheat torrent]

b850

[hexed tapir]

Oh nvm

[azure topaz]

at least mobo/board/cpu

[dire mist]

But its while being plugged into the board

[azure topaz]

cant be blown, up cant be incompatible, (just updated) cant be bad ram (posts)

can be bad cpu or gpu or board tho

[wheat torrent]

do you have a secondary pc?

I would lowk try to boot into a bootable flashdrive

that should take out from the equation bad cpu to some extent

[raw trout]

Which is harder to dismantle? Ps or xbox one with da glass

[covert sparrow]

Quick question. Is it possible to clone a boot drive nvme to a bigger one for upgrading?

[latent gull]

possible? yes. Fun? easy? smart? no.

cloning boot drives is just a pain

[dire mist]

Omg lmaioi

[dire mist]

Its working now

[azure topaz]

hurray

[dire mist]

Like wtf i changed the pcie to 3 gen cuz thats what my old motherboard had

[azure topaz]

that implies there is still a problem

[dire mist]

Why cant it hsndle 4 gen?

[azure topaz]

what board is it?

[dire mist]

Msi 850 gaming plus wifi6e

[azure topaz]

interesting. idk. maybe a future bios update will fix it. maybe the board is broken and doesnt meet signal integrity req for pcie4 so it doesnt post

[dire mist]

Wait

My windows seems rested

It said i needed to create a nre pincode

Qnd wants internet

Bruhhh

Or is it in safemodd?

Or it says your pin isnt availble cuz of a security setting?

But i havent touched any secuirty thing

[valid canyon]

No fucking idea who do you think we are?

What should i upgrade my nvidia gtx 1080 to i have a dell xps 8930

[gloomy sleet]

who the fuck makes this

where does one obtain a full scale rb7 wing

[azure topaz]

a new computer

unfortunately theres not much you can do past that

your 8th gen cpu is going to hold you back depending on the games you play and a GPU upgrade wont feel like it did anything

my 7700k held back my GTX 1080 even when overclocked +delidded at 5.2, id imagine an 8700 or something else similar and locked would be the same

[west wagon]

Can someone explain in simple terms why phones love to stay on a crappy 5ghz band wifi when there's an available 5ghz router 2 meters away without 37 meters worth of concrete between them, or not even the 2.4ghz which could be used on both

[ebon marlin]

this Legion 5 laptop looks a bit different

[azure topaz]

you mean 2.4 in the first one

[calm idol]

most phones auto switch is dogshit or simply non existant

[azure topaz]

stays on 2.4ghz band when theres 5ghz 2 meters away

and yeah most phones just dont like roaming

on like a desktop or something you can set it to prefer 5ghz band or 6ghz band but idk how on phone besides separating them via ur router settings

[west wagon]

Nope, stays on the 5ghz barely holding the connection stable but it really doesn't wanna switch

[azure topaz]

i dont understand your issue then

[calm idol]

unfortunately the industry has decided to let roaming hand offs be decided by accesspoints and not by the phones

[west wagon]

0.02kbps

[azure topaz]

your phone stays on 5ghz band when theres a 5ghz band 2 meters away

oh i see i see i see im seein it

5ghz multiple aps connecting to wrong ap

[ebon marlin]

"FPS Per minute"

framerate per second per minute

[west wagon]

Two routers, one router is far away with shit between, the other is right next.
Phone connects to the far one on the 5ghz of this one, not even the 2.4ghz

[azure topaz]

yeah generally if theres enough overlap or the device is stupid enough itll just connect to one and never try to roam between the aps

[tired bear]

wifi deployment without a controller

[west wagon]

Ts makes me lose my mind

[azure topaz]

solution without being able to prefer X ap or somethin? idk

[west wagon]

If I prefer one I'll have the same issue but at the other side of the house

[tired bear]

what ap's do you have?

[west wagon]

What is ap

[tired bear]

you might be able to flash openwrt on them and enable 802.11r

[west wagon]

What's ap

[tired bear]

access point

[west wagon]

I'm European non English native

Uuuuh give me a second

Archer ax58

The other is the proprietary from internet provider

[tired bear]

tbh, just get a mesh solution

[tired bear]

as with range extender you wont have good experience anyway

[west wagon]

Yeah I'll just throw money I don't have

[tired bear]

arent you limited to 35w chips on those?

[west wagon]

It's clearly a phone problem tho since both routers just do what they do and provide wifi

It's up to the googoogaga kind of stupid stuff going with how phones switch wifi

What do I do. My E drive SSD keeps getting undetected. All I know is it started with steam earlier. I launched dota2 and it failed to launch cause of a file being corrupted or something I forgot what it said but it was my mistake. So I tried to uninstall the game but it was not giving me the delete prompt. So I shut down and start to bios and see it detected and f10 the My e drive is there again. Now I was able to uninstall but now My E drive is missing again. So I'm kinda stuck in this check bios to make sure it's there and f10 so windows has my E drive

It's like a loop

[wheat torrent]

what does "Create and format hard disk partitions" show

does it detect the disk

@wheat torrent here

It's in my disk managment but not on the bios. Erlier bios can detect it

[carmine yew]

Sata or nvme

[formal sonnet]

If the drive doesn't appear in this computer's BIOS, try putting it into another computer. If it also doesn't appear there, the drive is dead / dying. NOTE: it's also possible the drive is intermittently dying. A friend's 1TB Sabrent drive did this - sometimes they could boot their PC, sometimes the drive was missing from BIOS.

[fiery plover]

It's Sata

[fiery plover]

What can I do? I mean if there's a chance of it intermittently dying. I would like to try and backup some photos from the drive

[azure topaz]

does it work if initialized?

[formal sonnet]

DO NOT INITIALIZE A DRIVE IF THE DATA IS IMPORTANT

[latent gull]

i saw this on an old drive i had, i used a USB sata enclosure and it kept doing the USb connection noise every like 30 seconds cause it was just going in and out

please do not the drive

[azure topaz]

yeah this is a “if no other”

but generally if a drive dies and acts like this it won’t initialize ever again

[azure topaz]

my bad shoulda said that

@fiery plover you can try putting the drive into an external / portable enclosure, but... if it's not appearing in your BIOS anymore, it's highly beyond this stage.

[fiery plover]

Tried updating the driver lmao. But I guess it's dead

[fiery plover]

Stag?

[formal sonnet]

If the data on this drive is important to you, remove it immediately and contact a data recovery service.

[formal sonnet]

Sorry, typo. Meant to say "stage" not "stag." Basically, if the drive doesn't "detect" anymore, you can keep trying things, but the more you try, the less likely someone else might be able to recover the data. That said, with SSD's / Flash Drives / anything NAND based, once it's no longer registering in a computer, it's gone. Like, gone-gone.

[azure topaz]

if not keep fucking with it cause fixing things yourself is fun

[fiery plover]

Ohh ok no prob

[latent gull]

TLDR if its not connecting directly to the computer a USB encloser wont help

[azure topaz]

keep in mind it has to genuinely be important for a service like this to be worth it

[latent gull]

honestly not drive problems. drive problems are just annoying because windows drive management is just black magic

[azure topaz]

family photos
wallets
important documents

game saves can go

[latent gull]

but my 200 hour baldur gate run :(

[azure topaz]

it will be more expensive than buying a new drive

[odd marsh]

what about my pictures of my AI girlfriend

[azure topaz]

your llm can be rebuilt stronger and hotter

[odd marsh]

true

[latent gull]

theyre dead

[azure topaz]

my ai girlfriend gets 4 gpus

[odd marsh]

I just proposed to her so hopefully she still remembers that 🙏

[fiery plover]

Yeah I'm trying to find a replacement already but damn they're expensive

Rural life hard

I mean at this point I'm just gonna move my important files to online and just use the replacement as a gaming drive

[plucky kiln]

tips

[fiery plover]

@azure topaz I have Hiksemi Adata Apacer and Lexar as options. Are any of them good?

My drive that died was a PNY

[mellow robin]

chat is an i5-8500 and rx570 4gb good?

i upgraded from a gtx 1060 3gb

[gleaming rose]

objectively? no

for however much you paid? no clue, you never mentioned

[mellow robin]

i took the cpu from a hp 290 g1 i got for free and the gpu was 42 euros

This is a pic of the pc

[empty quartz]

I hate this

[mellow robin]

better airflow

and easy access when it comes to upgrading

[empty quartz]

Just put it flat on the desk

[mellow robin]

not enough space

[sharp ivy]

I might need to clean my laptop

[ancient lion]

what kind of party is that

[mellow robin]

edm

[ancient lion]

woah

[plain cypress]

Steam sale time

[vale widget]

I bricked my mobo. A new replacement costs about 150. Should I just upgrade from lga socket to am5? I’m near a microcenter and I want to get the 9600x bundle

[sonic stream]

is it okay if i tape the screen monitor plug in to the wall? i keep kicking the it and my monitor just goes black screen for like 3 seconds

[plain cypress]

how did you brick it

[plain cypress]

you can but like dam that is a weak socket

[vale widget]

My parents turned off my pc when I was in a bios update

[vale widget]

So should I uograde to the 9600x bundle from microcenter

[swift stream]

just flash the bios again

[vale widget]

My mobo doesn’t have that

[plain cypress]

go get new parents

[sonic stream]

its a dorm maybe thats why loo

[vale widget]

👍

[plain cypress]

1.7Gbps lets goooooooooooo

[swift stream]

most mobo companies allow you to download a installer so the mobo has at least a bios

which company?

[vale widget]

Msi

[swift stream]

which mobo

[vale widget]

Pro b760-p WiFi ddr4

[swift stream]

best bet is to just replace cmos and redownload drivers

[vale widget]

How do I redownload the drivers?

[swift stream]

your mobo doesn't have a flash bios port?

[vale widget]

No

[swift stream]

https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/PRO-B760-P-WIFI-DDR4/support#bios

[vale widget]

My mobo doesn’t have a flash bios port, I searched it up

[dawn agate]

need some oled recs

[stoic nova]

How much money you got rn

[dawn agate]

~$700

will prob return my current one

[stoic nova]

You like ultrawide, or you one of em. 24 inch monitor Fortnite playing types

[thorny saddle]

mine pulled 550-565W

[dawn agate]

never tried ultrawide but I prefer 27 inch

32 is ok

[stoic nova]

I can't in good faith give you a recommendation in something I'd never buy

[swift stream]

just clear the cmos

[vale widget]

I tried but I didn’t work

[swift stream]

what are your current specs

[vale widget]

12400f and 9060xt 16 gb

[swift stream]

yeah you should just get a replacement mobo

[vale widget]

Or should I just upgrade to the 9600x bundle from microcenter

[swift stream]

unless you wanna swap to AM5

[vale widget]

Kinda want to

[swift stream]

i wouldn't switch all the way to 9600x unless you do demanding model stuff, better off if you get a 7600x or 7700x

[vale widget]

I’m going to 7600x and save 20 then

[random gyro]

What Mainboard do you currently have?

[vale widget]

Msi pro b860-p WiFi ddr4

[swift stream]

#tech-chat-1 message

[random gyro]

Yeah not Worth. Z Series with decent Memory and you couldve gone with a 14600K

But no with B Board and slow DDR4

[vale widget]

But the 7600x comes on a bundle

[swift stream]

7600x and 9600x don't have too much difference, 9600x same core and thread count but way lower clock speed but better efficiency

[random gyro]

Yeah i guess. USA i assume? What do you get and how much do you pay?

[vale widget]

It’s from microcenter

[swift stream]

7600x main clock is 4.8ghz and 5.3ghz when boost, 9600x is 3.9 base and 5.4 boost

[vale widget]

I’m getting 7600x then

[random gyro]

Do you have a list of Parts you get or a Link?=

[swift stream]

7600x is 105w tdp and 9600x is 65w tdp ( at least at minimum)

[vale widget]

[swift stream]

you probably want more ram but overall not bad deal

[random gyro]

Well yeah i guess

[swift stream]

32gb is standard now

[random gyro]

Take the Deal, toss the RAM, buy good RAM for 90$

The included RAM is not good, so just resell it

[vale widget]

I’m going to buy an extra 16 gb stick

[random gyro]

Wouldnt do that

No Guarantee that it works

[vale widget]

Same brand same specs isn’t recommended?

[random gyro]

Also 6000 C 36 is Micron Shitbin.

Ah no its 36 Flat so its Samsun Shitbin

You dont want either. You want Hynix

[swift stream]

7600x also has igpu, so no need for extra graphic cards in pcie slot for multiple monitors

[random gyro]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/cCKscf/silicon-power-value-gaming-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr5-6000-cl30-memory-sp032gxlwu60afdeae

Just get theese and sell your single stick

[swift stream]

ehh i like teamgroup more

but i did get a us75 2tb ssd p

[random gyro]

Doesnt really matter

[vale widget]

well its not a bundle no?

i dont want to sell

[random gyro]

Look heres what you will do:

• Get the Bundle

• Sell the RAM

• Buy new RAM

[random gyro]

Then keep it for Troubleshooting

[vale widget]

whats wrong with buying the same stick of ram?

[random gyro]

still cheraper than buying new and all on its own

[random gyro]

Do you want to toss the RAM as soon as you Upgrade?

[swift stream]

https://a.co/d/g8vrpyR snatched this for 90 usd back in december

[random gyro]

Because thats what you need to do if you ever upgrade

Samsung and Micron RAM isnt capable of more than like 6400MT/s.

YOu want Hynix. Even the downbin with 6000 C32 can easily hit like 6800 to 7200MT/s

[vale widget]

i dont understand, if i just buy the same stick, wont it just be fine?

[random gyro]

Its just preventing you from headaches down the line

[swift stream]

you also got these https://a.co/d/6IDFMaG

[alpine heron]

Not great RAM to begin with is the main reason.
Secondary reason is stability, it's less important these days but still you can't get some issues.
Same brand and model isn't exact same batch and you can get minor revisions that cause ya a headache one day

[random gyro]

... you know what, i explained it several times. Do as you please. Get your Trashram and be happy

[latent pasture]

no, ram is made from various different chips whatever is the best priced
the same brand same model same name same look ram can have chips from samsung hynix micron, and different chips within each brand
unless ur getting a ram that explicitly markets itself as having specific brand and chips as a feature

[alpine heron]

Buying kits is still ideal when feasible

[random gyro]

C38 is also not good

To get Hynix M or A Die, you want 6000 Timings to be Exactly/under C32-38

[latent pasture]

if ur gpu isnt super amazing like 4080 tier u can probably get away with "slow" ram and it wont be that noticeable
if ur superminmaxking ur budget

[alpine heron]

Can we flip the question and ask why you want to keep the current stick so much?

[random gyro]

I want the Nanya DDR5

Seems good

[random gyro]

These are Nanya A Die 16Gbit. 5600MT/s

The Speed isnt much to brag about but the Timings are very good

[random gyro]

Imagine you are Hynix with the best DDR5 RAM on Market since like 2020 and then Nanya comes in and doesnt even TRY to make good RAM, just a normal 5600 SKU and beats you to shit and now you need to be scared of everything under 7000MT/S

They beat Hynix wiht THESE

[hollow ore]

why does this look like this sometimes, but other times it loads properly

it loads right on my phone??? but not chrome

tried other browsers on my computer and nothing

[carmine yew]

Hole shit y'all, this is a new level of insanity

[formal sonnet]

What even is "this"? You need to share a URL...

[formal sonnet]

Probably died from the power failure so they harvested the fan from it.

[hollow ore]

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/filesubmission

I wanna submit something but the site is like broken on my computer

[carmine yew]

But why would you open a psu for that of all things

It's a shit unit, I can't imagine that the fan is any good

[formal sonnet]

Assuming you've tried different web browsers and verified you don't have any browser extensions interfering with the site, try different internet connections if available.

[formal sonnet]

If the site loads on another device or internet connection, that screams something isn't resolving or loading correctly on the original internet connection / device. Likely a network issue. You can also try watching the Network Tab of your browser's Element Inspector (accessed with the F12 key by default in most browsers) to see what network calls might be failing.

[hollow ore]

i can get it to load on my phone on the same network

[formal sonnet]

So something on the problem PC is blocking it then. The fun part is spending potentially hours finding out what... 😉

[hollow ore]

Soooo i get errors in the network tab

but im not sure what they mean lol

ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERR

on 6 different network processes

its happening all over

wait one sec ima restart my computer

Nope, still happening, its on multiple sites i have to reload a few times and each reload it gets a little better until its fixed, but the microsoft page doesnt fix, but regardless idk what to do to fix this @formal sonnet what is my next step even idk whats happening
