While you're here. How does water get into a PSU

How tf did water get in the PSU

this is a good question

no

stoic nova

Sandwich cases

hexed tapir
#

Ah

azure topaz
#

this still doesnt make sense

stoic nova
#

Now I see it happening with sandwich cases

azure topaz
#

i have a case like that and unless youre setting your drink on top of it

#

thats not going to happen

#

ig it could be on the floor

if you bought a good psu theres a chance your parts live

But also just recycle the psu

azure topaz

correct me if im wrong but most people here have used a drill

we had someone here plug in the psu cables from a diff psu and their parts lived

I like this debate here

#

This is a good debate

azure topaz
#

its a debate? i thought we were just yapping

Take it apart and hang dry the parts like you're making jerky KEKW

I think the term debate around here might be a little bit more. Spicy

So with windows 10 being dead and no im not moving to windows LTSC or doing the Rufus method for windows 11 because it’s not formally supported by MS. I’m planing on building a new computer my current specs is a i7-7700k and a nvidia GTX 1060 6gb I’m looking to spend about 2k to 3k on the whole new system minus perhiperals and monitors as I already have them. I primarily game at 1080p and have no desire at this point in time to move to 1440p or 4K with Australian pricing. What parts do you recommend I buy I’m going to visit maybe two of our retailers here in aus to speak to them about some parts potentially

random junco
#

wha

jaunty apex
#

Wait you aren't doing the Rufus method because.. Microsoft doesn't want you to..?

#

Even though it works?

#

What's that got to do with your question

random junco
#

spending 2.5k on an outdated system with a 7th gen and a 1060 !?

#

even in aud, that is as LOT

valid girder
#

Anyone know what this means?

random junco
#

reinstall windows

valid girder
#

Can’t even use automatic repair, just installed windows on a brand new pc

random junco
#

get a usb and put windows iso

valid girder

I already did but I’m not sure why it ain’t working

random junco
#

fresh usb again

valid girder
#

I just bought it today, used the windows media creator

random junco
#

bought the pc?

valid girder
#

The drive

#

It’s actually so confusing

#

I’ve done it before with my old pc but this new one is being super tricky

random junco
#

disable secure boot, choose correct boot method if that dont work then test on another pc

#

or js try a usb 2.0 port

#

3.0 annoys people for installations

#

also if u can, disable CSM

valid girder
#

CSM already disabled

#

Where would I find the secure boot option I’m not too familiar with this brands bios

#

Nvm I’m blind

#

Already disabled too

#

Same screen again

random junco
#

ok well

#

if i were u, i would get a linux environment usb and boot from there and see if it detects the drive ur tryna install to

#

if it doesnt get detected then return it

anyone know what could be causing pc wide microstutters?

also quit copilot rn bro

trail forum
# jaunty apex Even though it works?

They don’t recommend it and also even if I was I don’t get updates without having to apply individual patches or some shit.

Installing Windows 11 on a device that doesn't meet Windows 11 minimum system requirements isn't recommended. If Windows 11 is installed on ineligible hardware, your device won't receive support from Microsoft, and you should be comfortable assuming the risk of running into compatibility issues.

Devices that don't meet these system requirements might malfunction due to compatibility or other issues. Additionally, these devices aren't guaranteed to receive updates, including but not limited to security updates.

Also nvidia is discontinuing further driver updates for my card after October..

Also quit Vanguard while you're at it. No need for either of those pieces of software. Especially with how Vanguard can be used to compromise your PC due to its deep integration into the Windows kernel.

i agree with getting a new pc but youre literally paying 10x the value of it

Well I mean some people might not wanna pay that much

yeah neither should you

you can literally get SO MUCH better

# swift kestrel That's what my laptop was doing

Your laptop is not everyone else's laptop. I'm not saying this isn't happening for you - it can happen, but it's usually the result of a given model number of laptop that the manufacturer has failed to provide adequate hardware driver support for. This is NOT the Operating System's fault - this is the laptop manufacturer's fault.

azure topaz
#

you’re telling me all laptops took a -50% hit to battery life and nobody besides you cared 😭

swift kestrel
#

Why is it so bad then?

clear pebble
#

What on earth is going on, I've completely factory reset my PC at this point bc my wifi crashed and disconnected my PC whenever I got into a match, not open the game, a match. Not only that, at random times my PC just restarts without warning. I have no idea how to fix this, why it does this and what can be done. I've done everything, drivers, updates, chipsets etc. and again factory reset with formatting my ssd's how is this PC still crashing or restarting? Is this even a gpu or cpu issue?

azure topaz
#

w11 is fine i have no problems with it

fringe prairie
#

probably indexing or your battery capacity is low

swift kestrel

I'm switching to linux I hate windows 11 it's so fucking ugly

fringe prairie
#

ive also had no issues with w11

grizzled frost
formal sonnet
grizzled frost
#

battery life is minimally worse, since there is a tiny bit higher idle power draw with nothing else installed

#

but like, that is completely and utterly nullified the moment you start actually doing stuff

fringe prairie
#

if you care about battery life so much in my opinion consider a macbook or get a lunar lake device
a gaming laptop isnt going to get good battery life unless its using a ryzen hs/ai hx or arl-h chip with its dgpu disabled

azure topaz
#

i trust solo with laptops cause he won that one argument that one time

#

you said sumn to me like "this is laptops im a loser i got this"

#

w11 is definitely fine as an os, any major issues with it are gone (or mostly gone) or have phatom causes like the recent SSD issue

grizzled frost
#

that wasn’t even entirely win11’s fault

#

just shitty firmware that it happen to trigger

azure topaz

yeah

yeah i put it on a surface and it was fine lol

had to get the drivers from a surface recovery image with dism

Hello Everyone,

It me again, I need your help. I have a

ASUS Strix X570-E Gaming Motherboard
AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12 Core Processor
AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT
4 - 8GB (32GB) Patriot DDR4 3600 Mhz CL18 Rams

I am a Gamer

My issue is that I don't feel that it is fast enough. I notice in CPU-z App wherea under SPD tab in all 4 rams it says

Frequency:
JEDC #5 - 1033 MHz CL 14 1.20V
JEDC #6 - 1066 MHz CL 15 1.20V
JEDC #7 - 1066 MHz CL 16 1.20V
JEDC #8 - 1801 MHz CL 18 1.350V <- ??

This doesn't seem right because my rams MHz suppose to 3600 MHz all across the board. Am I missing something?

Also I am not sure if I have XMP turned on but on CPU-z app says under SPD Ext.: XMP 2.0

I though of getting a 2 - 16 GB (32GB) 4000 Mhz but in the Manual says it accept 4000 MHz (OC) , I am assuming that OC mean with Overclocking on the rams or MOBO?

I want to improved this without Overclocking the Rams or any other parts of the motherboard.

Any feedback is much appreciated. Thank you

# random gyro why

the helldivers one looked bad cus I cut it around the PSU hole (which has acrylic over it anyways)

# buoyant bridge Changed this out

if you wanna make your PC look a little more personalized put a peice of cardstock over your PSU basement (or even better photopaper but you have to find better ways to hold it in place then just friction and the bottom of some fans) with something printed on it

sinful cobalt
#

if you cant thats bcs its quad channel saying fuck you to ur cpu imc

buoyant bridge
#

AMD just sucks at handling 2 sticks per channel

sinful cobalt
grizzled frost
#

they are right

sinful cobalt
#

as in like 4 sticks

grizzled frost
#

which is dual channel with 2dpc

buoyant bridge
#

4 sticks doesn't mean 4 channels it means 4 sticks

sinful cobalt
#

or is it just me misreading and being drowsy af

buoyant bridge
#

you can have 4 channels or 2 channels with 4 sticks

sinful cobalt
#

ok yeah ok mb im gonna go back to sleep

buoyant bridge
#

(actually on server platforms you can even have 1 channel only with 4 sticks)

grizzled frost
#

never seen 4dpc, most i've ever see is 3dpc

buoyant bridge
#

AMD chips usually won't hit full speeds with 4 sticks on 2 channels
intel CPUs will get really unstable if you go above the CPUs max memory speed with XMP when using 4 sticks on 2 channels

sinful cobalt
#

who knows maybe their imc on amd is godly

or its just the typical ā€œshit urselfā€

buoyant bridge
#

like with 4 sticks 2 channels my CPU can only stabely go to 4800MHz with 4 sticks

grizzled frost
#

what CPU?

buoyant bridge

grizzled frost

single or dual rank

wait, ddr4 then?

64gb ddr5 dimms didn't really exist in 2023

nimble burrow

I just got the ltc nimbleback nb681 keyboard. When using it it only eorks with typc to a and mot type c to c. Whys that?

buoyant bridge
#

unless I only run one stick per channel

formal sonnet
buoyant bridge
grizzled frost
#

One stick is all i'd ever recommend for consumer platforms

#

64gb ddr5 dimms only became a thing quite recently iirc

#

like early 2025

buoyant bridge
#

I went from a server platform desktop to this thing so

#

and it was DDR3 too so I was very used to everything just working unless its realllly fucked up

grizzled frost
#

server platforms, do 2dpc all day long, doesn't really affect memory speeds much

#

workstation platforms, depends

nimble burrow
buoyant bridge
#

all 2133 MHz DDR3 ECC

grizzled frost
#

ddr3 you can do 3dpc without losing any memory speed most of the time

buoyant bridge
nimble burrow
grizzled frost
#

well it did, just not nearly to the same degree as 1866

buoyant bridge
#

I had a 2133 kit in for awhile but they never ran at 1866 because the E5 2667 V2s maxed at 1866

buoyant bridge
grizzled frost
#

it's funny how DDR3 went from 64gb being a lot to also being able to support 3tb in some platforms

#

DDR3 really was revolutionary

buoyant bridge
#

afaik the max for consumer platforms never went above 64GB and initally started at like 8GB? mabye it was 2GB?

grizzled frost
#

Consumer platforms probably, server platforms went crazy

buoyant bridge
#

yeah they where getting upto like 1.5TB per CPU at the end of things LOL

grizzled frost
#

It got up to 3tb actually

#

LRDIMMs usually though

buoyant bridge
#

which CPU actually supported 3TB per cpu wtf

grizzled frost
#

The Mobo i have that uses DDR3 has listed support of up to 3tb, not sure what CPU though

#

Supermicro Dual socket board

buoyant bridge
#

its 1.5TB per CPU probably

grizzled frost
#

so yeah 1.5tb per cpu

buoyant bridge
#

nvm DDR3 started out maxing at 16 WTF??

slow sable

Oh my god I’m actually stupid. I’ve been wondering for the last hour why my mavic isn’t showing up in finder and this was how I plugged it in šŸ˜­šŸ™

#

(this is a pentium G1101 too, the i7 780 also maxes at 16)

grizzled frost
#

ooh i didn't realize ddr5 went up to 256gb ddr5 dimms

#

ECC only for now

buoyant bridge
#

they wont show up on consumer platforms yet

grizzled frost
#

UDIMMS are still capped at 64gb afaik

buoyant bridge
#

those are maxing at 192 and 384 rn

grizzled frost
#

all i've seen is 4x64gb support on DDR5 consumer platforms

buoyant bridge
#

current gen intel is limited to 256GB

grizzled frost
#

true for AMD zen4/5 as well

buoyant bridge
#

I can swear someone was supporting 384

#

14900K was 192

grizzled frost
#

There aren't any 96gb ddr5 UDIMMS afaik

buoyant bridge
#

ohh it was intel's WS platform stuff im stupid

grizzled frost
#

I wish Optane continued to be a thing

buoyant bridge
#

same optane was cool asf

grizzled frost
#

it looked promising for low budget, high capacity ram

buoyant bridge
#

Intel also made a lot of the best PCIe ssds and just killed them 😭

grizzled frost
#

Albeit slower than true ram, but worked beautifully went tiered properly

buoyant bridge
#

I wish screaming at tech companies worked to make them fulfil warranties like it does tool companies

#

all I did was mention dewalt on twitter not wanting to fulfil my warranty (im not a popular person fyi) and they fulfilled it the same day?? and reopened a ticket for a now out of warranty tool and fulfilled it too???

meanwhile intel and AMD both wont replace defective CPUs if they're a few months from end of warranty

pc keeps crashing for no reason, I even reset the whole thing and it still crahses or freezes my wifi. What gives?

whats a wifi freeze

clear pebble
#

Or if it doesn't do that, it just crashes the whole PC or not crash but reboots.

stoic nova
#

how did you determine this is related to the wifi

clear pebble
#

I went into Titanfall to see if I can load up a match and boom, this happened. And again it's either this, or the PC just reboots.

stoic nova
#

and this is not the case on your phone?

clear pebble
#

Nope

#

Or family's devices

#

Everyone else is connected just fine.

#

Tried airplane mode for a sec, didn't work, and I also updated the wifi drivers, nothing. And if I try another game, it just crashes. I can show ya if you want.

stoic nova
#

holdup nah dw

#

do this but for your wifi driver and reboot

clear pebble
#

So go to that, disable and uninstall

#

Then reboot the PC?

#

Also oddly enough I'm in a offline game rn and it runs well I still don't see how wifi crashes the PC. And it's space marine 2 which is more demanding than Titanfall 2

Guys up to which DLSS version does an RTX 2060 support?

That's good, that means I can run Cyberpunk with Ray tracing at like 40 fps

a 3060 is decent at it if you lower ur settings

#

Ok gn

clear canyon
#

my 4080 is awesome at it

stoic nova
#

How about software ray tracing

clear canyon
#

uh, I dont think thats a thing for games besides Minecraft shaders

stoic nova
#

Lumen

clear canyon
#

I dont think thats raytracing, one sec

#

yeah its not

stoic nova
#

It's described as software ray tracing

clear canyon
#

it uses similar techniques, but its not raytracing

#

according to what online says

stoic nova
#

So uh back the original question

#

Lmao

clear canyon
stoic nova
#

Stalker 2 or Silent Hill giving the 4080 a run for its money?

#

I dont play those games

They're good games...in design

clear pebble

@stoic nova happened again

stoic nova
#

Wack

#

Idk then

clear pebble
#

Tho, this time no crash and I did reset the router so let's see if this works

#

Wait

#

Will having an old motherboard be a problem?

clear pebble
#

I've had this mobo since the very beginning when I had my r5 3600 and an Rx 5600, and only 16gb of ram, since then I've had this for 2 years and upgraded everything but the motherboard

formal sonnet
#

I tend to stick to Intel chipsets for WiFi these days, but even RealTek is usually okay. MediaTek... 🤢

clear pebble
#

What wifi motherboard will be safe to use its drives from?

clear canyon
#

what

clear pebble
#

Sorry I read that wrong

#

I thought it said you could try a different motherboards wifi drivers

clear canyon
#

nope

#

gotta be that boards wifi drivers

clear pebble
#

yeah, sadly

#

I might just buy a new motherboard

#

Ive had this one for 2 years and even when I bought it, it was used

clear canyon
#

did you mess with the wifi's network settings? is it on DHCP?

clear pebble
#

the one I have rn is the Asus Prime B550M - A wifi ii

clear pebble
#

I had my eyes set on these two.

clear canyon
#

whats ur cpu?

clear pebble
#

I used to have a ryzen 5 3600, now I have a ryzen 7 5800XT

#

Funny enough I had no problems with the 3600, 5800, and boom problems

clear canyon
#

how long ago did you get it

clear pebble
#

I fixed em and returned the 5800 and swapped it but still. And uh like may if this year maybe june

#

At first I thought the first 5800xt was faulty, but now I'm having stuff with this I think so I think it's a 5800xt issue

clear canyon
#

did you update the bios?

clear pebble
#

Twice

#

I downloaded an older version today tho to keep my system a little stable, the two most recent bios updates available are both beta

clear canyon
#

yeah dont use betas

clear pebble
#

It solved half the issue, I'm not crashing anymore, but again wifi.

clear canyon
#

can you just use ethernet?

clear pebble
#

I'm gonna attempt it again rn tho, I downloaded an older wifi driver from last year.

clear pebble
clear canyon
#

who put the wifi in the worst possible spot?

clear pebble
#

No no, it's not like one of those brick basements, it's still a little high up, it's our living room oddly enough.

#

So the connection is still great. The router is technically below me.

#

But as of the last two days, I've had these issues.

clear canyon
#

you can do Powerline if you want to

#

want to do wired

clear pebble
#

Can't, father doesn't want cords around the house or holes drilled

clear canyon
#

thats not what powerline is

clear pebble
#

If it was my house, id easily be able to drill a hole in my floor in the corner of my room and route an Ethernet there

clear canyon
#

powerline uses ur outlets to run the ethernet

#

you plug it into an outlet

clear pebble
clear canyon
#

why

clear pebble
#

He's strict with his house. Womp me ig

clear canyon
#

it does not apply to either one of those

clear pebble
#

I could be mistaken but is that not one of those connections on the wall that allows me to still use Ethernet but from another part of the house?

proper gull
#

Powerline adapters plug into two outlets and run a signal over the power wires

#

They're usually shit but are sometimes better than nothing

clear canyon
#

it uses the outlet to move the internet connection, you just plug each side into an outlet on the same breaker and they will allow for you to hook an ethernet cord to it

clear pebble
#

Look don't judge...

#

I may know a few PC stuff but not all

clear canyon

run the trouble shooter

#

see what it says

Gonna see if this will work

#

Bruh, windows did not find any integrity violations yeah right windows

clear pebble
#

Bc every time I go into that, there's no option to press run trouble shoot or whatever

clear canyon
#

you just rightclick the wifi symbol

clear pebble
clear canyon
#

what?

#

send ss

clear pebble
#

I right clicked, and only two options pop up

clear pebble
#

I'm on my phone

clear canyon
#

take a pic on of screen

clear pebble
#

Watch it be something else I need to click...

clear canyon
#

its the top one

clear pebble
#

Yup I clicked it

#

And it said -

#

That's all, and I can't download anything even if I wanted to

clear canyon
#

uhhh, thats weird

clear pebble
#

And I don't wanna restart my PC bc then wifi will work and itll.think it's fine.

clear pebble
clear canyon

Try disabling power management on your wireless card using the following steps "You can use Device Manager to change the power management settings for a network adapter. To disable this setting in Device Manager, expand Network Adapters, right-click the adapter, click Properties, click the Power Management tab, and then clear the Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power check box."

Also when you are programming you need to constantly Google stuff

#

I always have 15+ tabs open in my browser

frozen torrent
true stirrup
#

That is horrible I agree with that

#

But again it's specific to a person not a profession

frozen torrent
#

I am aware, I was talking about group of developers WITH that behavior.

#

It just that when they show that behavior they tend to be the worst of the lots.

rigid fjord
frozen torrent
#

Honestly, I just don't bother asking for anyone to help me and do it all myself, so I never get the logic of developers asking for help. it tend to be the most insufferable/condescending people who are going to give you an answer and sometime they are looking to start a fight. Almost every time, it's better to read manuals, documentations, and books rather than asking anyone for help when it comes to programming.

#

The only 0.00001% time where you actually needed help is because someone broke something so bad that it can't be fixed easily. IE Compiler, driver, system libraries, and etc.

true stirrup
#

Where do you find most of the answers when programming?
It's usually stackoverflow when people had to ask others for help and now those questions and answers help you

#

There is nothing wrong with asking for help

#

It's wrong when you refuse to do any work yourself

frozen torrent
#

If you have a good grasp of the foundation in programming, you can largely infer a lot of things. And as I mentioned, a lot of production-quality libraries/tools have documentations. And if they have a problem, you basically visit the Github issues and run a search for any issues that are documented. If there aren't any documented issue, you then work on making minimal reproducible bug and report it and let developer address it while you focus on your own project and find a workaround in the meantime knowing that the bug fix might not happen for months or years depending on developer's priority. That just the fact of life.

Large part of how you find answer to programming is basically knowing enough computer science and knowledge how underlying system works that you can piece together what might be the cause. Stack Overflow is basically dead if it haven't already, because barely anyone visit it and even if you do, your question would likely be shutdown by overzealous moderator anyway. That the reputation Stack Overflow is known for.

#

Also, a lot of developers have been seen using LLM/ChatGPT/Claude for finding answers to common issues in programming nowaday. I personally don't use them, but that's an option.

fickle ivy
#

Holy fuck my phone just yelled at me because my storage literally has 0 bytes of free space

true stirrup
# frozen torrent If you have a good grasp of the foundation in programming, you can largely infer...

You mentioned looking through GitHub issues
Usually someone asked for some help and the issue arises from that
The amount of times I managed to fix something because someone had the same issue as me, mentioned it online and someone answered it is unreal
Anyway I don't think it's worth continuing this conversation
I think doing stuff yourself is great but there is nothing wrong with getting help sometimes as long as you do stuff yourself afterwards

every game nowadays is a buggy mess

flint lantern

that's not an excuse and is also incorrect

#

the developers are incompetent as shit it's not even a secret

ebon marlin
#

idk tell me a game that released recently that's not a buggy mess

flint lantern
ebon marlin
#

Don't think indie is comparable to corporate

flint lantern
#

i want to enjoy dbd but it becomes a chore very fast

ebon marlin
#

but silksong has it's bugs too

flint lantern
#

most killers are buggy as shit

#

specifically nurse, i quit because of that

#

can't double blink half the time and you get rubberbanded constantly

ebon marlin
#

That sounds like a network issue

flint lantern
#

it's not, im playing on 50ms

#

the game is client authorative anyway it shouldn't matter

#

blinks do have collision checks that are very poorly written though

#

sometimes the client thinks you can blink through something but the server decides "no"

ebon marlin
#

I've played Nurse quite a bit and never have noticed anything off with the blinks

ebon marlin
flint lantern
#

no

ebon marlin
#

Since the patch add-on that shows you where you can blink is pretty poorly done

flint lantern
#

i have so many clips
you teleport to where you'd expect to and half a second later you get rubberbanded back/somewhere else

ebon marlin
#

when did you last play nurse

flint lantern
#

the blink indicator would also start flickering like crazy like you turned abs on, preventing you from blinking
though that's fixed now

flint lantern
ebon marlin
#

I played Nurse a shitton during that time

#

worked flawlessly for me

#

it's mostly the newer killers who are bugged other older killers mostly have minor bugs

#

although with the most recent update they did fuck up Ghostface

#

don't know how

#

you can directly look into Ghostface and he won't be revealed

bugs aside I wouldn't play after the new anti slug-tunnel changes anyway
