I want to know if it's possible to connect the sub level and the b set of speakers to the same terminals

left dove
#

no.

bitter rampart
#

My subwoofer does not have that port

looks like the antenna? the white thing

bitter rampart
#

It only has line in and level connections

That would be a Sata cable

Ok, let me install the motherboard real quick atleast anttempt. I'll brb @left dove

Not the self tapping ones or really long ones or ones you can undo with your thumb. By that process of elimination it should be pretty obvious

Is there a big jump in perf between 2800mhz and 3200 for ram on my i5 11400

midnight wind

#

Also the screw that I circled in the photo should be the one for the mobo. It's got a flattened edge to help hold the motherboard in place, and is generally more finely threaded

icy wadi

Buying tech is not my strong suit so any help will be really appreciated

Would it be better to get MacBook Air with 24gb of ram and 512gb ssd or base MacBook Pro

midnight wind
#

which macbook pro with which specs

#

ideally you should not crosspost

icy wadi

#

Truthfully I think Lenovo is a tad more trust worthy

icy wadi
#

Gotcha thanks for your help, ill relay this info to her

fringe prairie
#

is this just for work?

icy wadi
#

she looking for one for school work and job applying essentially

#

preferably 16gb ram and 1tb ssd

#

we have been looking like crazy

fringe prairie
#

for $400 in my opinion it's probably the best for your needs

What would you think about something like this

hmm so youre thinking the dell is better

#

for same price you can get a ryzen 7 8745H which is much better

midnight wind

#

model > brand btw

#

the v15 is shit

icy wadi
#

she turned the touchscreen off her current laptop so no

midnight wind
#

what exactly is bad about the v15

scenic ore
fringe prairie
#

the aspire is at least somewhat decent

#

and for $400 it's got lunar lake so

icy wadi
#

I am not a techy 😭

scenic ore
icy wadi
#

Gotcha im looking through rn

fringe prairie
scenic ore
#

if there are no significant factors that sway you either way, just go with the cheapest

icy wadi
#

what should i be looking for

#

gotcha

scenic ore
#

mainly things like build quality and reliability. we can already tell what it will run like based on the specs, so look for things beyond that

#

if there are lots of complaints about plasticy or flimsy build quality, stay away

icy wadi
#

hmmm yeah Ill look for that, she essentially wants to apply for jobs and use figma so something that lasts would be good

#

thanks for your help

scenic ore
#

@icy wadi what is the laptop for exactly? that could be good to know

icy wadi
#

to apply for jobs and use figma

#

For designing websites^^

#

She also wants to be able to use like photoshop at some point

scenic ore
#

ok so at least an i5 or ryzen 5 in that case

#

and also keep in mind the display quality and resolution. not just the resolution but also the type of display, for photoshop especially

#

and do you have a specific budget?

icy wadi
#

She would prefer less than 500

scenic ore
#

If you could stretch a bit I would look for something with a 1440p good quality display

#

don't get me wrong, 1080p is fine, but 1440p is definitely a big step up for graphic design type stuff

icy wadi
#

how much of step up would that be

scenic ore
#

1440p is definitely worth it if it's also a good quality display overall

#

hmm honestly i'm not sure as i've never looked into them myself

#

just something to keep in mind

#

if your GF has already been doing what she's doing for a while, on a 1080p screen, then it wouldn't hurt to stick with a 1080p screen. but either way 1440p is better, it's just whether it's worth it / whether you can find a good deal

icy wadi
#

Yeah shes saying she does not want to go over 500, would the dell just be a better option to go with since its got the prime day deal

#

She hasnt done much at all and is just wanting to get into it

scenic ore
#

I used to have a hp probook 650 g2 (from like 2016) and the color accuracy was so bad i had to edit photos with an external monitor. moral of the story is you want to make sure the screen is decent, whether it's 1080p or 1440p

scenic ore
#

@icy wadi and some research tips... even if it feels tedious, you won't regret doing it. keep track of everything you find in a document and make sure it includes all the key information. Use cpubenchmark.net to compare processing power (take note of both single-thread and overall score), i.e. type into google. AMD Ryzen 7 7730U vs i5-13420H and click on the cpubenchmark.net result. Display quality is kinda more important than overall power in your case, just make sure you don't get something with significantly less power than the competition

#

and also use chatgpt to explain any terms you don't understand

scenic ore
#

just check reviews

scenic ore
#

i've never used a high refresh rate monitor but i've seen a lot of people who have used 250+ hz monitors say over 165hz isn't worth it

#

take this with a grain of salt as i am currently using a 1080p 75hz monitor

weak condor
#

I have a 180hz 1440p one, which replaced my 165hz 1080p monitor, It's very hard noticing anything different other than resolution of course

jaunty apex
#

Anything above is like league level esports territory. Or enthusiast

weak condor
#

If you're a CS pro, I mean I guess I could see the value. I'd rather spend more for good color accuracy than on a 240hz monitor or something

scenic ore
#

on that note, how much do you guys reckon I could overclock my monitor

#

it's a 75hz philips 241V, or 241V8

#

i got it for free so...

#

we're going in strong with a 1hz overclock

scenic ore
#

custom resolution utility literally just closed on me of its own accord

#

i think it's trying to warn me

#

i did 76 hz and it worked, then i went to 78 hz and the monitor just showed an error message

#

maybe 77hz is the sweet spot

scenic ore
#

update your drivers from the official source of the hardware, eg intel

cloud lynx
scenic ore
#

and only update your drivers manually if you are experiencing a specific issue. windows updates most drivers automatically

scenic ore
#

and is there a specific concern you have that makes you want to update your drivers

cloud lynx
scenic ore
#

if you don't have it

cloud lynx
scenic ore
#

choose clean install and it will update all your GPU drivers. if you already have it, just check the driver versions

#

you don't need to touch the drivers for anything else (including the CPU) unless there is a specific problem

kindred cave

Ok I got past that and now I am having a issue where it's saying at 1TB m.2 isn't enough storage for an install

scenic ore
#

your system isn't detecting the 1tb drive

kindred cave
#

How

#

Reboot??

scenic ore
#

and don't touch disc 1, that is your installer usb

kindred cave
#

Ye

scenic ore
#

yes or make sure the drive is connected properly

kindred cave
#

Uhhhhh

#

It's a m.2 and it's in the slot 💀😭

#

It did this on my last PC to

#

But we fixed it but I don't remember how it's a team group 1 tb

scenic ore
#

where did you order the ssd from lol

kindred cave
#

Amazon

scenic ore
#

how much

kindred cave
#

Let me look

scenic ore
#

you can also click refresh at the top of that page to see if it shows up

kindred cave
#

70 bucks

scenic ore
#

otherwise reboot, if still no, then double check the drive

scenic ore
kindred cave
#

If it's detecting a disk 0 it should be the m.2 no?

#

As disk 1 in external

scenic ore
#

yeah it seems to be detecting a "disk 0" but only with 250 mb space which is weird

kindred cave
#

Bro 😭🙏

scenic ore
#

it should show all partitions or empty space of the drive, totalling its entire capcity of 1tb, but it's obviously not...

#

do you have any spare m.2 drives you can use to test in the motherboard?

kindred cave
#

No 👎

frigid blade
scenic ore
#

the drive could be defective

frigid blade
#

It’s Amazon, returns/refunds/exchanging for a new one is easy

limpid ivy
frigid blade
#

And most likely free

scenic ore
#

if you have another PC or laptop to test the drive in, do that (if windows is installed, you can use Disk Management). if it's the same problem then reuturn it. this is to isolate the problem from your motherboard

kindred cave
#

Bro but my last one did this exact same thing that did it but we found a way to fix it

#

I don't remember what we did though 😭😭😭

scenic ore
#

try creating a linux usb to test it

kindred cave
#

I don't want Linux tho

scenic ore
#

bruh you don't even have to install linux, just to see if it recognises it

#

...

kindred cave
#

Ok what do I do

scenic ore
#

i won't go through the whole process with you but basically

  • download linux .iso file (say linux mint)
  • Download Rufus bootable media creator
  • use a spare usb drive to create the bootable media with rufus
  • put the usb drive in your computer's motherboard
  • make sure the computer boots from the usb drive (depends on motherboard)

then go through the intstallation process until you get to the part about disk allocation

rose stream
limpid ivy
#

Yep if it works I ain’t complaining

kindred cave
#

Oof

random gyro
#

interesting

scenic ore
# kindred cave Oof

I mean you can always just return the drive, but it were me, I would want to make sure it's actually defective

#

ideally you should test it in another computer

#

i would test it with linux because it wouldn't take me long, but if you've never done it before it might not be a good use of your time, to be honest

kindred cave
#

Alright I'll come back tmrw with a update

scenic ore
#

if it doesn't show up with windows, it probably won't show up in linux

#

that's why you should test it in another pc

Why?

you need more than one drive for raid

I’m just wondering. I have no idea

do you mean a NAS?

I can do that

And I know it has to be the same 2 storage devices

modern software raid they just need to be similar

Hmm

#

I have a synology but it has 1 drive slot

#

Not sure if I can make that RAID

#

It’s a DS120j

buoyant bridge
#

personally I'd just sell the laptop and buy a x79/x99 workstation used and put 3-4 hdds in it for a raid array

preferably buy a HBA, flash to IT mode, use software raid

You can use the port for charging, data transfer, and connecting displays (depending on specs).You cannot use external GPUs (eGPU enclosures) or other devices that rely on PCIe-over-USB-C.
For your specific model HP OmniBook Ultra 14-fd0901ng (AM6Z7EA):
It uses Intel Core Ultra (Meteor Lake) processors.. The USB-C ports are USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) with DisplayPort 1.4 and Power Delivery.Thunderbolt 4 is not included, so PCIe tunneling is indeed not supported.

#

little fun fact: The omnibook ultra 14 is only available with amd cpus
they literally have the model number and can't get it right

the laptop has a firmware issue where it doesn't work with thunderbolt 3 devices properly if it uses pcie tunneling

20€ for 3 keycaps for this Dell Precision 7550

#

But overall this laptop was a good deal

#

I7 10850H and Rtx 3000 Quadro

#

For 340€ incl. shipping

#

New battery and keycaps 60€ totaling it to 400€ and it's an easy sell for 700€

#

Impressive screen on this laptop aswell despite it being a basic 1080p60 but it's brightness goes up to 500nits and 125% sRGB

Ryzen 5 3600 to Ryzen 7 5700x, is this a good upgrade? I've 6700XT 12gb paired with it. I only do gaming 1080p (thinking to upscale games to force more pressure on gpu instead of cpu too. would this work?) suggestions pls

grizzled frost

upscaling would be more work on the cpu instead of gpu

3 for 20 euros sounds a lot

The Dell Precision 7550 has tons of different keycap versions

Can't be arsed + don't have a 3d printer

#

This would seem viable if I was keeping the laptop for myself but I'm selling it off to someone else

#

Yum this laptops profits would be enough to fund my pc upgrade and still leave some money on the side

#

My upgrade from 5800x3d + 6800xt to 7800x3d + 5070 if I sold my old parts would cost me around 200€

exotic valley
#

Yeh it would save a lot time from just purchasing the replacement part

I'm foreseeing a 300€ profit from this laptop

Why is logging in on safe mode on windows 11 so buggy

left dove
#

because safe mode is essentially windows with everything except essential drivers & components loaded?

unique olive

But removing the pin on the account feels like it qualifies as essential

left dove
#

its gonna look like shit and sometimes perform like shit

they remove the pin for security reasons.

I mean, if space is what is a concern for you, 75% or smaller is decent. TKL is also nice. I don’t have much of an attachment to numpad

I do like having the FN keys though as sometimes you just need to remap some for things, and keyboards that don’t have them feel a little cramped

how much do you sell them for?

Depends on the device

#

This laptop I got for 340€ incl. Shipping and then new battery and keycaps for this is 60€ in total

It's an easy sell for 700€~

got an iPad Pro 2021 5th gen for 100€ with a cracked but still functional screen

New screen was like 240€ and once again another easy sell for 700€

I refurbish anything

I have a Z Flip 5 in aswell
