[odd sparrow]

which ip did u get?

[ivory mountain]

16 pro max

been using for 10 months

[odd sparrow]

alr thats nice

[peak swan]

Windows 11 25h2 windows to go on a Celeron N3350 wasn't a great idea lol

[stark kiln]

Steam installed

[ivory mountain]

is this ur first pc

[stark kiln]

2nd including laptop

[peak swan]

Inaccessible boot device 0x7B

[left dove]

dont remove them, they're for holding your m.2 drives in.

There is no reason to remove them. they will not interfere with any gpu you install.

[random gyro]

When I did it i thought i was gonna break it lol

[white pawn]

Same

[stark kiln]

It runs Roblox at max settings so that's good

[plain cypress]

Overall usage is so cringe please switch graph to logical processors

[white pawn]

Should I evenly distribute the thermal paste with a card?

[true stirrup]

You can if you want

[white pawn]

Why isn‘t it common practice

[true stirrup]

Because it takes a couple seconds more
A lot of thermal paste tubes even come with a spatula

[stark kiln]

What

[rigid fjord]

tbf, it's a celery-on

[keen folio]

so i wanna build a new pc for myself. i currently am on AM4 and wanna switch to AM5. i though about getting the 7800x3D, but i know the 9800x3D also exists. should i go with the 7800x3D or save a bit more for the 9800x3D? Also whats a good ATX Motherboard with built in WiFi and Bluetooth? (i only need the bluetooth tbh, but hate using a dongle)

[rigid fjord]

like so

[true stirrup]

The cheapest B650 that has decent VRM heatsinks and Bluetooth and WiFi

[white pawn]

Way too much I would assume?

[keen folio]

Perfect

[true stirrup]

It's fine

[rigid fjord]

perfect amount

[white pawn]

People usually say pea size

[keen folio]

it is pea size, a bit of a big pea, but perfect

[rigid fjord]

i suggest 2 peas worth all the time

[keen folio]

Alright

[rigid fjord]

use something to spread it some

[keen folio]

oh and also is a 240mm AiO enough for the 7800x3D or even the 9800x3D? i currently own a Be Quiet pure loop 2 fx 240mm which advertises 280w Max TDP. tho im not really sure about that

[white pawn]

Ok cuz the card was too big

[stark kiln]

Surprisingly the prebuilt has no bloatware

[rigid fjord]

240 aio is definitely fine for it, though an air cooler would be more prefered

[lapis furnace]

whats there to be confused about

[keen folio]

yeaah, i already got the AiO, and dont wanna spend more on the extra cooler then. Also i like the look of the AiO

[lapis furnace]

i hate my mind

[rigid fjord]

it be a troll responding to your most there dude

[lapis furnace]

the box is placed wrong actually ... supposed to be a 5070ti on the rack

[rigid fjord]

just means gettign some paste or ptm7950/helios instead then

[white pawn]

What could that possibly resemble

[keen folio]

i still got some PTM7950 in my fridge when i did a lil upgrade on my current pc. about 2 or 3 months old now. is it still fine?

[white pawn]

Looking good eh

[rigid fjord]

nope, i'm not the only one who thinks you're a troll, considering an admin of another discord came here to complain about you trolling

[keen folio]

also 6000 was the sweet spot for DDR5, right?

[rigid fjord]

definitely still fine

[keen folio]

Perfect

[rigid fjord]

3 days ago

if you ever want to question my memory, ask elliot there about him killing a lenovo mobo and a 10400f

[keen folio]

i think 750w is fine with a 105w TDP chip and a 7800xt, right? or should i go with 850 or more?

[rigid fjord]

definitely fine fo it tbh, 850 would be the most

[stray portal]

Hi yall I have a dilemma. I'm on windows 11 but I am looking for a browser with unique UI or UI that looks like old chrome. I'm currently using brave and it's nice but doesn't have much costumization. What should I do

[inner veldt]

should i main aw2725df or Gigabyte MO27Q28G? gonna buy the gigabyte and make it second monitor

[stark kiln]

Which tame I should test my PC on first

[rigid fjord]

whichever you fancy

[stray portal]

These kind of people pmo like ok he may be a troll but ur being a jackass by "warning" on other servers

[rigid fjord]

not really, he's a known troll here, the guy was asking more for carification

[keen folio]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vkNTGJ is this fine? i wanna re use most of my other stuff except CPU, RAM and Mainboard

[humble tinsel]

GUYS I have a rx6800 non xt from gigabyte and after i reapllyed thermal compunt i get worse temps but i also got a new cas with 7 140mm 3push in 4pushout so my temps got from 55 to 70 at full load

[distant frigate]

Lol. Just talked to one of the telecom linemen.

They said they were done for the day. Not surprised tbh. Weekends are usually overtime

[rigid fjord]

so you have a pair of p3 plus's at 4tb each?

[keen folio]

couldnt find my actual drives at the moment, i use SATA 4TB Server drives for games. SSDs

and one 970evo plus 2tb as main boot

[stray portal]

Why did u do it blud

[keen folio]

Before u complain, i got em for free at work xD

[stray portal]

Kid named Google it

[rigid fjord]

ah, fair enough, i'd change mobo and ram in the build only tbh

[keen folio]

i went with the corsair one cuz they offer dummy sticks for the looks.

[keen folio]

what mobo would u recommend?

[stray portal]

you lazy fuck go check the dimensions on ur case and aio

and see if it fits

Why should WE do your research?

[rigid fjord]

i'd sooner go with the the likes of some silicon power, lexar or teamgroup ram despite that tbh

[stray portal]

😱

[rigid fjord]

a b650/b850 mobo instead of a b650e tbh

[stray portal]

Is 4 sticks of ram good on am4

[keen folio]

its fine.

[stray portal]

I have 2 sticks and get 32gb I might buy another pair of same ones and get 64gb or maybe save up to 128gb

my cpu is ryzen 5700x has max support of 128gb

[rigid fjord]

with ddr3 and ddr4 yeah it's fine, on ddr5 it's no beuno

[stray portal]

Then get an air cooler

[rigid fjord]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cnzsdb @keen folio

for a good $50 saving over the b650e

[keen folio]

Thanks!

[rigid fjord]

i believe the 750w is a psu they already have

[fringe prairie]

oh do they, damn i didnt see that

nvm then

[stray portal]

Why do u want 165 if it doesn't fit

Get one that fits

[rigid fjord]

it's still a good suggestion despite that if they didn't or someone wanted as upgrade and saw that

[keen folio]

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/yYvC74 this is my curret entire setup with everything i have.

i should edit it tho to include the 2TB 970Evo Plus

[white pawn]

How do I put this in

[hexed tapir]

My go to options is hands

[warm anvil]

screwdriver

[white pawn]

So how do I place it inside the holes

[steel umbra]

you put the end into the holes

[rigid fjord]

nailgun

[hexed tapir]

Similar to this

[warm anvil]

from ultrakill?

[peak swan]

https://tenor.com/view/the-square-hole-square-hole-shapes-piklas-gif-24625312

[rigid fjord]

there's no such thing as overkill, just "open fire" and "cover me i need to reload"

[visual barn]

Is this a bad way to keep the aio tubes?

[peak swan]

That build is pretty lol

[warm anvil]

what is this squiggly line

[rigid fjord]

totally fine

[white pawn]

I thought of that lmao

[steel umbra]

a mounting bracket

[visual barn]

Just changed my fans out cause I hate the lian li ones

[left dove]

This was fucking wild

[warm anvil]

you might wanna keep a close eye on this pc tonight

[visual barn]

Tysm

[warm anvil]

it may or may not be there in the morning

[rigid fjord]

the troll still be around and not been neutered

[left dove]

yarr..

[peak swan]

I gave up on the aesthetic i wanted because i realized I'm leaving a lot of performance on the table
Like it was a 7800 xt vs 7900 xtx difference
And 7700x to 7900x difference, and 32gb less ram

[peak swan]

About the same price btw

[rigid fjord]

also, my extra z axis kit for dual z axis control cam not to long ago, so i got something to do for tomorrow

[left dove]

ayyyy

its an ezpz install

[sharp ivy]

Thank you! It fixed the issue and now the 730 runs great

[left dove]

I've been playing with my a1 mini, I love this little thing

[craggy cove]

its been a month

[left dove]

kinda making me want the ams

[craggy cove]

but sure good to see

[sharp ivy]

yeah I procrastinated a bit lol

put it off for ages

worked on other pcs

[stark kiln]

Bottom of the barrel my PC rubs Roblox already

[stark kiln]

Next game I'll try. Is CS2

[craggy cove]

yeah if it works youll have lots of fun

going 4-13 rn

despite leading

[rigid fjord]

semi easy, i'mma have to undo the linear rail on my x axis as part of fitting the mount for the t8 screw and, it's also the psu being moved

[left dove]

it comes with a lil bracket to mount it back away from the z pillar

[rigid fjord]

i'm still waiting on my pack of 5x 1mtr 2040 extrusion aluminium lengths

[rigid fjord]

true, but off to the side instead a bit more

[random junco]

docker builder prune command?

[rigid fjord]

guarantee that's an image from google

[stark kiln]

tv screen is lowk not bad

[random junco]

yay....

everything i install, i use
didnt expect much of a storage reclaim anyways lol

[wet scroll]

mx4 or aeronaught?

[hexed tapir]

It's better to have it tubes down , but since the pump isn't at the highest point in the loop its fine

[rigid fjord]

@left dove the kit i went for

[left dove]

Ohh I got a slightly different one

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VJG4ZCG

[rigid fjord]

yeah, that's the other style

i do plan on fliping the psu over so it lays flat instead

basically have the psu like this instead @left dove

[shut sentinel]

how am i supposed to connect the strap to my apple watch. the other side just slides in

[rigid fjord]

i have a fan cover also for it so i can have that setup to redirect the fan as it blows out

[wheat torrent]

im good

[rigid fjord]

for a different strap/mounting

[shut sentinel]

wdym?

i used to have this strap on my watch

on youtube both sides just slide in

[rigid fjord]

@left dove the linear rails for smoother z axis

[proud cosmos]

Guys forza horizon zero dawn or Hogwarts legacy which is your favourite

[rigid fjord]

you don't have an apple watch then

[random junco]

im a car guy so forza

[shut sentinel]

literally apple watchs series 6 😭

maybe the old strap got stuck in there

[wheat torrent]

raukoooo I need some opinions on what I should do

[shut sentinel]

oh yea it got stuck

my fingernails bout to bleed a lot

[rigid fjord]

what you planning on doing ?

[rigid fjord]

the division 2

[wheat torrent]

damn I made a post in #1027757333117415424 cant even find it

[proud cosmos]

I have it downloaded

[wheat torrent]

💀

[proud cosmos]

Ohh thats fine im also waiting for motofest ofline mode

[white pawn]

Where do these go?

[hexed tapir]

On RGB headers

[wheat torrent]

I have 2 "servers" right, basically I upgraded my computer enough times that I have 2 spare computers using my old components
my current server (i5 9400f | 16gb ram | mobo with a single PCIE slot)
new server (r5 5600 | 64gb ram | decent mobo)

I want to make one of them to be a NAS using nas OS but I don't know how to do it

I would want my weaker server to be nas (i5 9400f one) but I have only one pcle slot in the motherboard and the cpu has no integrated graphics

[random junco]

on your motherboard

[wheat torrent]

I was looking at motherboards and 9th gen intel mobos are god damn 100 usd used

[random junco]

headers should be above the cpu area on the top right, most of the time.

[white pawn]

Where does the male go? And you mean the G DV slot?

[wheat torrent]

would you spend 100 dollars on a used 9th gen mobo?

[random junco]

daisy chain them

[rigid fjord]

the male one goes no where

[random junco]

i got 200 for £0.73

[white pawn]

There is no way this is right, feels like it’s gonna short circuit the whole thing

[rigid fjord]

me personally no, and tbf you can still use the 9400f build, just means using a cheap dgpu as display

[rigid fjord]

i can get over 1000 for free tbh

[white pawn]

Or idk you tell me

[wheat torrent]

but I can't use a network card or a HBA of some sorts

[random junco]

make sure one female is spare to go into the motherboard, other than that, everything should be connected lol

[wheat torrent]

I feel like 1gbps is quite low, only 125MB/s

[rigid fjord]

you don't have to use a hba tbh

[random junco]

we did not need allat 💔

[rigid fjord]

for a general nas, that's completely fine

[random junco]

nothing maxes that out anyways

thats uh..

not 1gbps is it

[wheat torrent]

thats like the speed of one HDD

[rigid fjord]

becaus 1000divided by 8 = 125

[random junco]

my home server is on 90 on 1gbps ethernet.

[rigid fjord]

totally fine, you're not bandwidth limited realistically for a pure nas

[wheat torrent]

rememebr I have those 14 sata SSDs

[white pawn]

Guys does this look okay? Feels like I’m missing the CPU_OPT input cable

[rigid fjord]

yes, but you don't have to use a hba for them, a sata expansion card is enough

[wheat torrent]

a side topic but

I just connected one of my ssds with a sata to usb and it seems to run just fine

[random junco]

mine is 3 x 2tb sas drives with 120gb ssd for boot/os and like 8 x 500gb drives for backups (i dont raid)

i have 10 x 2tb drives but i do NOT need the other 7

[wheat torrent]

Why would I ever want to connect to sata if I can connect multiple devices to a thunderbolt and I doubt that will ever max out the thunderbolt

[random junco]

also its on an i3 6100 with igpu for jellyfin and it runs perfectly fine, but just for satisfaction, i might get a 6600k soon

[wheat torrent]

sata is like 6gbps total, with thunderbolt its 40gbps

[rigid fjord]

it'll work, just that it's not always great to do it that way

[random junco]

when will your drive ever be transferring at full 40gbps

[wheat torrent]

I would assume there are some artifcats or loss of data but I am testing it on a single ssd and it seems to run just fine

[wheat torrent]

multiple drives

[rigid fjord]

that's a theoretical max of 540/560MB/s tbh

[rigid fjord]

unless you put them as raid 0, you're not getting that speed, also raid 0 is dumb

[random junco]

i have raid 0

[wheat torrent]

well shit

[random junco]

this is my router speed

[wheat torrent]

to do more than 1gbps I would need a switch also on top of a network card

so I guess for now I just stay with 1gbps

[rigid fjord]

for a home network dude, you don't need to go above 1Gbe

[random junco]

i was thinking of getting a switch but my router has 4 ethernet ports that i use straight from + i never really understood switches in general, except for better speed/power management

[wheat torrent]

idk it felt like 1Gbe is easy to saturate with normal hardware 🤔 ?

[rigid fjord]

what's the mobo exactly that the 9400f is on ? @wheat torrent

[wheat torrent]

let me check

[random junco]

faster than my device by around 120 mbps

[wheat torrent]

h310CM-HDV

[random junco]

h 😮

[wheat torrent]

hold on

I didn't see a second slot on there

eh forget about it

2.0 x1 is only 1GB/s

[rigid fjord]

you can use a sata expansion card on the x1 port

[wheat torrent]

hold on your cooking

[wheat torrent]

how much more sata would i be getting

[rigid fjord]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09Y577WJS/ 6 ports would be the max to use on an x1 slot

[wheat torrent]

2 more ports it seems?

tbh its a shame that I can't run the computer in headless mode

some suggested to get a cpu with igpu but idk

should I?

[rigid fjord]

it's more ideal

you also get the bonus of intel's qsv if you did

[wheat torrent]

the problem is I don't even need video

it's just that it won't turn on without a gpu

actually that might be a motherboard issue not a cpu issue

I do not remember

hmmm

How can I find if mobo can do that or not

[rigid fjord]

https://docs.pikvm.org/v2/ i be building and adding this to my nas build

[rigid fjord]

if the cpu has an igpu, it'll always boot, if it doesn't it's a 50/50 on if it will

[wheat torrent]

KVM?

very nice

[rigid fjord]

yeah via ras pi zero 2 w

[wheat torrent]

atm my server runs windows so I just RDP into it

I think If I go with a NAS os they host a webserver ?

[rigid fjord]

they essentially host a web page for accessing it yeah

though you want to have it set so you can ssh into from a pc

[wheat torrent]

why do so many people mention this and that about the cpus not being capable enough

do you really need a cpu that powerful for a nas?

[rigid fjord]

see, i would suggest openmediavault or truenas if doing a pure nas build

and proxmox or truenas scale if running it as a server instead

[trail forum]

Other than front io what should I be plugging in I really want this finished today it took me 5+ hours and I didn’t even finish it last night being first time

[wheat torrent]

one important thing would be

for my files to be accessible to my other server

I run cloud storage and various things

[rigid fjord]

for a pure nas, no, but if you was running jellyfin/plex or something similar, then yes you would, preferably one that hyperthread instead

[wheat torrent]

what makes plex/jellyfin so compute intensive?

youre just sending some video/audio files

[white pawn]

Help

[wheat torrent]

what

[rigid fjord]

then proxmox or truenas scale it is, and dockers running the likes of nextcloud and such

[rigid fjord]

the transcoding tbh

[wheat torrent]

how many does your mobo needs? some mobos need only 1 some need 2 some more

[hexed tapir]

You have all the manuals we don't

[white pawn]

Does the left-most pin go in the bottom left input?

[rigid fjord]

amd mobo, it only need 1x 8 pin eps

[wheat torrent]

my plan currently is to have my nas host the files and my server to run the dockers

[wheat torrent]

pretty sure they are the same

[white pawn]

Ok

[wheat torrent]

read manual

[white pawn]

I recognize that guy

[wheat torrent]

my friend has a xeon aliexpress mobo and pretty sure that one has 2 connections

[rigid fjord]

that's emily

[wheat torrent]

anyways

[wheat torrent]

so what I want to do is to run a nas OS on my nas then to have my server run a normal OS

I feel like running everything on a nas OS I will have to work around certain limitations

thats why I want to have 2 for 2 separate usecases

[rigid fjord]

it's not an epyc/threadripper he's running, it's an am5 cpu that's only 105w max

[white pawn]

Does a pc only need the 24-pin, PCIe for the GPU and the CPU cable to work?

[wheat torrent]

some people say that I can run dockers or VMs (on the NAS) but it feels inefficient imo

[rigid fjord]

tbh, you can do this on 2 "nas" os's without limitations as such

[rigid fjord]

it would be more efficient tbh

[wheat torrent]

should I just run a nas OS on my new server and call it a day?

[rigid fjord]

primarily yes

[left dove]

yes

[wheat torrent]

ahhhh

[rigid fjord]

did you see the linear rail kit i sent a pic of?

[left dove]

[wheat torrent]

there won't be any downsides when transfering files and whatnot?

because I do have a lot of things going on at the same time

[rigid fjord]

alot smoother than the rollers, and no jitters

if you do it with the 5600, i don't see there being issues tbh

[wheat torrent]

I have my own website hosted, music server, cloud storage, + NAS on top

I am thinking of there being hiccups when everything is going on at once

• would I need a GPU to run VMs?

[rigid fjord]

tbf, you'd want the website hosted separately from the rest

[empty quartz]

Chat

[wheat torrent]

well that's why I wanted to have the NAS + the server separately

[rigid fjord]

it's possible to run it headless with a 5600, i'm not sure fully on that

[empty quartz]

Am i spoiled if i paid for all my pc hardware myself with money i earned by having a job?

[wheat torrent]

yeah my 5600 can run in headless I recall

[rigid fjord]

music server and cloud storage can be all on the nas separate from the website

[wheat torrent]

no

[rigid fjord]

no, that's called being an adult

[empty quartz]

Exactly

[wheat torrent]

I want to like

do some fun things on the server, nothing serious just some experiments

[empty quartz]

I got called spoiled because i spent my money on some nice stuff

[white pawn]

Is ATX_12V where the CPU cable goes?

[wheat torrent]

I have a spare 3070, I have all the sata ssds so I was thinking it would be a better idea to keep nas separate

[bronze summit]

I'll be honest I've been so busy with life lately that I haven't focused on PC Parts

[rigid fjord]

yes, that's the eps connector, RTFM

[bronze summit]

I'm sure there's new good cases and new shit that makes my 7600X 4070 Super Obsolete

[wheat torrent]

I am hesitant to even begin

it will be such a headache will take me a whole day to get everything set up

but oh well

[white pawn]

Is there a risk of shorting the motherboard by test booting it with these pins?

[wheat torrent]

check your manual

it says in the manual which ones to short

[white pawn]

Ok

[wheat torrent]

seems to be power

[true stirrup]

You can short all of them at once and it will be fine

[white pawn]

Is it both of those pins

[rigid fjord]

only the 2 pwr ones

[wheat torrent]

touch them with something metallic

[white pawn]

Ok

YEEEAH IT STARTED

[wheat torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/yippee-cat-gif-696604303596555012

[rigid fjord]

or a wet finger

[white pawn]

Awesomesauce

[wheat torrent]

was always curious why they have those patterns

holy cables

[white pawn]

This means that I managed to not break the CPU this time!

[rigid fjord]

it's basically grounding points for the mobo to the case via standoffs

[wheat torrent]

why do they leave the 24 pin loose like that?

[wheat torrent]

thats what I thought, had to be grounding

[hoary agate]

this is finna take a while

[ebon marlin]

Is there even any difference between the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro's screen despite the screen size

[white pawn]

Is the safest way now to just turn flick off the lever on the power supply?

[wheat torrent]

While both phones now offer 120Hz refresh rate, the 8 Pro runs an LTPO OLED panel capable of granular refresh rate control ranging between 1 and 120Hz, depending on the scenario. This helps save some battery life in the long run. The Pixel 8 Pro's display can also be a tad brighter under direct sunlight, reaching 1,600 nits as opposed to the vanilla 8's 1,446 nits. In real world, though, this won't pose much of a difference. Additionally, the 8 Pro has a slightly higher screen resolution to match the bigger diagonal.
Their HDR capabilities are the same - HDR10+, but the protection level is slightly better on the 8 Pro. It offers Gorilla Glass Victus 2 sheet, while the 8 settles for the previous generation Victus.

[ebon marlin]

Damn they gave the Pixel 8 low to mid end treatment

[rigid fjord]

yes

[azure topaz]

it’s for grounding and avoiding scratching the board

[unkempt blaze]

if im getting another ram stick for my pc, do i gotta do same brand and all or it just gotta be same speed?

[ebon marlin]

But I guess a Pixel 8 256gb for 200€ is a good deal

[wheat torrent]

I heard pixel camera is very good

[azure topaz]

same speed: xmp rating

ex: 5600 44-48-48-64 or something

[white pawn]

Does anyone know what this is called

[wheat torrent]

people recommend the exact same, then preferably the same speed and xmp but it can run with different brand or even slightly different speeds

[white pawn]

I forgot to bring the cable on the plane 😭

[true stirrup]

How do you keep finding such good deals

[azure topaz]

micro usb 3.0

[rigid fjord]

usb 3.0 micro B

[wheat torrent]

microb 3.0

[white pawn]

Thanks

[ebon marlin]

It's a Pixel 8 with a screen line

They're selling it for 200€ but I offered em 110€ and they're really considering my offer

[rigid fjord]

you can use a usb 2.0 micro B on it also

[azure topaz]

yeah

[white pawn]

Bet

[azure topaz]

the normal tiny ones fit into the normal part of the connector

[ebon marlin]

New screen is 97€

Original screen

[true stirrup]

If you get it for that then that's just amazing

[ebon marlin]

I know

[wheat torrent]

tuff

[odd sparrow]

bruh my internet is like 20 times slower

[still ibex]

tuff

[wheat torrent]

???

[rigid fjord]

the only difference between them is the ub 3.0 one offers extra power connections

[azure topaz]

why are you still even in this server

[ebon marlin]

There's another Pixel 8 here in Estonia with the same fault but backglass has damage to it

[azure topaz]

you can’t have gone this long without a mod getting mad at you for baiting dawg 😭

[hoary agate]

no you can probably still get it to work with that

[wheat torrent]

I dont think they stopped using windows 11

[hoary agate]

I’m just installing Windows 7 for fun because my components are supported

[azure topaz]

the reason is room temperature iq (in celcius)

[true stirrup]

The back isn't even that bad

[ebon marlin]

There's a Pixel 9 Fold for 470€ but it's locked to T-Mobile for some reason

T-Mobile isn't even a thing in this part of EU

[wheat torrent]

go to Win xp

[ebon marlin]

All dogshit os's except Win11

[true stirrup]

I've never seen it anywhere in Europe

[hoary agate]

The latest Windows 7 drivers is 22.6.1 so should work natively

but you also have to worry about motherboard compatibility
mine is from 2014 (super micro X10DAL – I)

[trail forum]

Where is that long cable going

[azure topaz]

your motherboard

cpu_fan

[trail forum]

CPU_fan is my aio

[azure topaz]

connect the rest of the aio fans together

[ebon marlin]

There's also a Pixel 6 here for 90€ but lower speaker is faulty but the website I use for spare parts doesn't have any speakers for the base Pixel 6

[azure topaz]

you’re not one for reading manuals are you?

[true stirrup]

Looks like T-Mobile bought a lot of providers then. I go to Croatia on holiday every year and I never knew that their provider is under T-Mobile now
Also the one for Slovenia is wrong since there are 3 big ones and one small one

[azure topaz]

please just go read the manual, an aio install for new users is hell at best

[azure topaz]

read the manual

[trail forum]

Idk what I’m doing tho

[azure topaz]

hey so idiot. the manual tells you.

[marsh relic]

is there a way to get rid of this Gaming Copilot thing on windows 10? i already uninstalled Copilot that had been put on without me noticing

[azure topaz]

have we lost the plot?

[marble dune]

hello i have an ASRock B760M-C/D4 and my dram light is constantly on
ive tried the following:
swap ram slots and single stick both sticks
reset the cmos
im not sure where else to go as my motherboard just doesnt have a changable cmos battery
anything any of you guys would recommend? i might just drop it off to micro center instead

[ebon marlin]

Isn't this monitor like rare? I saw recently something about this being rare

[trail forum]

The aio manual says to plug the pwm extension cable to my daisy chained fans then connect to a. Fan header

[azure topaz]

somewhat rare yeah

the dell crystal

[rigid fjord]

well known in the uk, mind you i'm with O2

[white pawn]

Is this normal?

[true stirrup]

Yes

[midnight belfry]

better picture since the phone camera does no justice and i cant use my own account on this

[white pawn]

Awesome 😎

[azure topaz]

i have the same cooler, it’s easy to install but the short cables you’re meant to daisy chain will probably mess you up, so reading the manual just gets rid of issues

[hoary agate]

what are you asking

[wheat torrent]

even better picture

[trail forum]

I will assume this goes into a fan header so

That is where I will plug it into

[azure topaz]

the fans of the aio connect to cpu_fan

[midnight belfry]

guessing they used a placeholder picture for it then

[azure topaz]

the pump of the aio goes to aio_pump or similar naming

[trail forum]

It doesn’t say that in the manual

[wheat torrent]

the image is 11 years old btw

[trail forum]

My board has no pump connector

[azure topaz]

maybe you should buy an xbox

[midnight belfry]

[azure topaz]

do you have an opt?

[azure topaz]

you do, that’s where your pump goes

[wheat torrent]

No im just saying

[trail forum]

I have something called cpu_opt

Under the cpu_fan

[azure topaz]

i already said what to do with that

this one

[trail forum]

Everything so misleading one tells me to plug into a fucking fan header

[wheat torrent]

It looks better when its turned off

[trail forum]

It took me 5+ hours to get to this

[azure topaz]

fan=pump header, they just have different default fan curves

cpu_opt is for the pump so it has a 100% curve

[true stirrup]

It would work as well but it's better to plug it into a header meant for it
Although you can also plug a fan into the pump header

[trail forum]

Right so I’m moving my cable plugged into cpu_fan to something else

[azure topaz]

slow down

the one that is attached to the main part of your aio, not the rad, the block, is the pump

the one attached to the fans is the fans

[wheat torrent]

who thought that picking those 2 colors is a good idea

[azure topaz]

as long as that’s in the right order you’re good now

[wheat torrent]

do AIOs perform that much better than normal tower heatsinks of the same price?

Well I did put it in cus I mounted it clearly

[azure topaz]

or you’re going to sit here and get pissed off nobody will help you install a cpu cooler

[trail forum]

It’s just the cables

[azure topaz]

i already told you what to do

plug the pump into cpu_opt. the fans into cpu _fan

[wheat torrent]

[azure topaz]

daisy chain the fans together on the aio so they’re connected

[trail forum]

I don’t have the rgb fucking version

[azure topaz]

so ignore the fucking rgb steps

jesus fuck

[trail forum]

I’ve already daisy chained the fans

[azure topaz]

ok so you’re stuck on plugging 2 things in

[azure topaz]

👍

[trail forum]

Right let me move the cpu_fan to cpu_opt

[brave brook]

in my country we got Slovak Telekom (german, DT subsidiary), Orange (french), O2 (Czech after the Spanish O2 sold the company, licensing the name) and 4ka (local, Slovak guys)

[rigid fjord]

i don't care right now

[random junco]

my old vodafone wifi SUCKED

frequent outages and network dips

this was lsat year, maybe theyve changed?

[formal sonnet]

Cables don't have refresh rates? They either carry enough bandwidth to support X resolution at Y refresh rate, or they don't. The listing says this cable is "Compliant to version 1.2 specs" and "works with DP, DP++, and DisplayPort++" whatever that means... (I've literally never seen "DP++" or "DisplayPort++" designation on anything.)

[midnight wind]

is the card very heavy? or maybe you just didn't hold it up far enough while screwing in the pcie screws

[stark kiln]

the new pc feels and runs way better than my old one

[true stirrup]

Damn I actually didn't know that
It's kinda weird because they look like completely different companies still
Different products, different packages, different marketing,...

[true stirrup]

They don't even have access in the same areas

Some areas can have Telemach but not T2

Or in very rare occasions vice versa

[brave brook]

well, probably acting as virtual operator now.
We got stuff like Tesco Mobile (O2), Radost (O2), Juro (Telekom), FunFon (Orange)

[true stirrup]

Interesting to know

I never went that deep into it

[formal sonnet]

I'm not sure what the PC specs have to do with buying a printer... So long as the computer has USB 2.0 ports and is running an OS compatible with the printer you're looking to buy, it should work.

[brave brook]

i mean they were separate companies, so for now they got their own networks, but over time they will merge and the other brand will either dissapear or be a virtual brand

[grizzled frost]

Hey so don’t connect a windows XP machine to the internet

[azure topaz]

you’d be surprised

anyways I see people mentioning win 10 everyday, did they finally end it?

[grizzled frost]

apparently it has some weird proprietary abandonware

tbf that depends on the printer, usb 3.0 type B is annoying

w11 with 8gb ram and an ssd would probably be fine

yes

“1 million dollar laptop”

[wheat torrent]

idk I didnt like win 11 from the very beginning but once I changed my cpu last year I changed to win 11 because I knew at some point they will just stop supporting it so there was no reason for me to stay on win 10

[steel umbra]

though you could sign up for extended updates if you did certain thing w your machine

[azure topaz]

prolly some wallpaper app

[azure topaz]

this guy is just SAYING SJIT

well, sideloading depending on what you consider sideloading. ADB install will not be limited at all, only installing from web/other apps

[steel umbra]

yes, that's a big deal when i don't want to use playstore

[random junco]

developers will have to be verified. those apps can be installed, even if its not from play store.
unverified apps cant be installed at all though, will take effect into first world countries in late 2027/early 2028

unfortunately scamming is rampant, so i see the other side too

[random junco]

why do people leave you on cliffhangers with seperate messages (and take ages to type) instead of just saying it at once 💔

[steel umbra]

it already gave you a 10 second warning before installing apks

[azure topaz]

gotta do some cables

[brave brook]

that is manufacturer specific feature, i seen it on Xiaomi for example i think. Never happened on my samsung

[steel umbra]

oh weird, i had it both on my a52s 5g and poco f6

[true stirrup]

I have gotten no warnings on my Xiaomi 11T

[formal sonnet]

Not entirely true. You're supposed to be able to use ADB to push APKs from a computer. Unless this has changed? Or was never true in the first place, despite being publicly talked about all over the place?

[steel umbra]

or i maybe i remember incorrectly

[shy tulip]

whats the total cost? including the price you payed for the original gpu but got the 1080 instead

[steel umbra]

i think there would be a better solution possible other than getting things verified through google

i mean, even ms store apps can contain malware

[random junco]

softonic

wink...

[formal sonnet]

I don't disagree, but so long as there are those who blame the developer / manufacturer because they can't critically think for themselves, the dev / manufacturer will always feel the need to be over protective.

It's why US vehicles must legally have TPMS sensors on all 4 tyres. 😏 People can't even be bothered to check the air in their tyres before driving a metal death machine down the road at sometimes over 120km/h. 🤷

[rigid fjord]

instant way to get malware for sure

[steel umbra]

only 120km/h?

[random junco]

websites like softonic are also the type to always stamp "100% verified and safe" everywhere they possibly can

[formal sonnet]

So can apps distributed through Google Play or Apple AppStore. 🤷 It all boils down to how well humans Machine Learning bots are able to check apps for malicious activity, including data collection / tracking libraries.
https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2025/08/77-malicious-apps-removed-from-google-play-store
I'm 110% certain that requiring app developers verify themselves will prevent malware on Android devices. /s

[brave brook]

reorganized my computer hardware usage today, feels weird that for now 2950x with Arc A380 became my HTPC 😄

5700G/128GB RAM is now in server; 2950x/64GB RAM/A380 is "HTPC"; 3900X/64GB RAM/1080 Ti is a spare computer. And now i can put 32GB RAM in the second X99 computer

[random junco]

i wonder how google would deem a developer to be "safe"

[brave brook]

the verification program is more about being able to completely ban specific SHA/developer certificates on any device if they find out they do naughty things.

[formal sonnet]

I get that, but as a consumer, at this point, you've already failed me. 🤷 Once my data is stolen, there's no going back. There's nothing short of offering me lifetime identity theft protection that a company can do to keep me content or quiet about their failure to ensure the safety and security of my personally identifiable information.

[steel umbra]

220% certain truth

[brave brook]

the point is that you can't really register twice if you get banned once

[unique olive]

I have a asus tuf b850 gaming mono does anyone know if I can have 1 gen 5 ssd and 2 gen 4 ssd’s without bifurcation of my gpu lanes or if I can do 3 gen 4 ssd’s and avoid bifurcation?

well it will fail few people till the dev gets banned, but will protect even more

w gen 4 ? You mean 2 ?

the generations wont affect the speed of the drives enough for you to notice

[unique olive]

Gen 4 ssd drives

[brave brook]

What is "W Gen 4"

[azure topaz]

would this ram fan work y/n thoughts

[unique olive]

*2 😂

[brave brook]

one 5.0 and 4.0 runs always. The third:

** The PCIEX16(G4) shares bandwidth with M.2_3. The PCIEX16(G4) will be disabled when M.2_3 runs.
So it disables the second x16 slot, which is x4 electrically

[unique olive]

Definitely just didn’t got to the numbers keyboard cause 2 is where w is

[random junco]

close enough to the ram to have some sort of effect

with that fan being there, i dont think your gpu cable is that happy

how good is ebay buyer protection? i feel terrible for whoever bought this 1080 and ended up with a 210 by mistake

[formal sonnet]

Does the projector... have... speakers? Speakers are NOT a specification that projectors always have.

[brave brook]

for example on my system swap takes 100GB, hibernate 25GB (which matches the usual amount of RAM used)

[tired bear]

I saw it even larger

[finite meteor]

hmmm

[wheat torrent]

click on the squares that are bigger

and it will show you what files they are

colors = groups of files

[formal sonnet]

Great! Now drilldown by folders and you'll see what takes up the most space.

[brave brook]

you can now expand various directories and see what is using a lot of space and if you still need it

[finite meteor]

idk whats nessesary tho

[haughty compass]

Yes it has them though crappy

[finite meteor]

like is this important

[stoic nova]

It's amazing how stupidproof this is designed and yet

[brave brook]

that is most likely part of a game. Do you need game to which that file belongs ?

[haughty compass]

Usually I connect an aux for my laptop so I can use external speaker but I can't do that with consoles.. and it's not new enough for bluetooth

[wheat torrent]

what folder it is in...???

[formal sonnet]

Who knows? Only you know what's installed / saved on your storage drive. It could be leftover data from a game you uninstalled, or it could be integral to the functionality of a very important piece of software you need.

[wheat torrent]

it's one of your games

more than 25% of your storage is taken by game/games

[finite meteor]

standalone windows 64

[wheat torrent]

show a full screenshot

[brave brook]

130GB in Users folder tho, there is a chance you got some gigantic save files or mess in Downloads folder

[stoic nova]

Videos more than likely

[chrome ether]

i bought a gts 250

what do i do with it now

[finite meteor]

its a lil up

[wheat torrent]

whatever
.bundle are game files

[random junco]

whyd u buy if u didnt know what to do with it 💔

[wheat torrent]

you have 110GB of .ucas files, those are unreal engine files

[formal sonnet]

Recycle it. Donate it. Sell it.

[chrome ether]

i thought id just put it on a wall since it was for parts but for a laugh i tested it and it works

[hexed tapir]

Send it to an E-Waste recycling plant

[chrome ether]

so i just have more junk that miraculously works

[brave brook]

i was going to say i have matching parts from same era, but then i realized by the time Ivy Bridge was on market, we were already on 600 series GPUs

[chrome ether]

also building a pc for 15gbp

already have a mobo cpu and ram picked

might go in well for that

[finite meteor]

what is paks? and can i delete it

[wheat torrent]

brother

look what folder the files are in god damn it 💀

[finite meteor]

[wheat torrent]

its all pointless its all pointless nothing ever happens nothing ever happens

[chrome ether]

its too nice for this case

[wheat torrent]

the fog is coming the fog is coming the fog is coming

[formal sonnet]

Respectfully, this does not help anyone here help you. We are not in front of your computer. We cannot see what files / folders you have. Think about what you're asking, then include more information so we can help.
Genuinely, I'm trying to be nice here, but this is like asking your auto mechanic "should I remove this piece of metal from my car to make the Check Engine Light turn off?" Your mechanic cannot (and should not) answer this without seeing your car in person. If they did answer, they might tell you to remove an important safety component that then renders your brakes unusable, after which you plough through people on the sidewalk. 🤷

[wheat torrent]

can I delete folder sys.dll? yeah for sure its in folder sys, very informative until you find out the folder is in folder WINDOWS

[brave brook]

imo the suspicious part is why is PerfLogs 70GB, normally it is small or empty

[finite meteor]

the thing is idk what im asking bc theres a folder called paks thats taking up 97 gb of storage idk what it is, what it does, if i can delete it or not

[chrome ether]

hehe i shoved a 120mm fan in a hole with 80mm mounts in magic

[wheat torrent]

because its a GAME you installed can you read the god damn folders they are in

[finite meteor]

it used to be like 1gb

[formal sonnet]

Great! Where is this folder located? What files are inside it? When was it created? When was it modified? We at least need some information to work with. Or yeah, a screenshot showing these things would be a huge help.

[wheat torrent]

show a screenshot

[finite meteor]

i see im dumb

im so sorry

im just fkn stupid

[formal sonnet]

No need to stoop that low - I'm sure you're awesome at X thing - everyone is. 🙂 Just help us help you, that's all. 🙂 If you provide screenshots showing where the folder is located, we'd be in a better position to help.

its ok

[finite meteor]

like @brave brook was saying its unusual to have 70 gigs in perflogs

is there a reason for that?

[wheat torrent]

open the folder and send a screenshot

[brave brook]

maybe he runs performance monitor 24/7

[wheat torrent]

you usually can delete the logs but it depends

[finite meteor]

its big

gon take many screen shots

[wheat torrent]

make it smaller

close some folders

[formal sonnet]

https://www.majorgeeks.com/content/page/perflogs_folder.html

I don't use this feature at all, so my C:\PerfLogs folder is currently empty. While I can't tell you why your C:\PerfLogs folder contains files (because I don't know what's running on your system), it's likely safe to delete, assuming you weren't using it to store personal files like I've seen some people on the internet say they do...

[daring crystal]

How did they fuck up ZA so hard. They had so much development time

[finite meteor]

the perf logs folder is big

[daring crystal]

The story is ass

[wheat torrent]

just send a screenshot

one screenshot, a single one

of the whole application

[wheat torrent]

like you did here

[wheat torrent]

did you install steam in perflogs

[stark kiln]

I hate my wifi

[finite meteor]

idk i did it like 6 years ago

[wheat torrent]

click subtree percentage until the arrow points down

then send a screenshot of the folders in perflogs that take most space

[finite meteor]

ye steam is on there for some reason

[white pawn]

What is the peripheral port on my PSU for?

[wheat torrent]

well there is your answer

a image speaks a thousand words...

[finite meteor]

how do i change it

[formal sonnet]

Why. Is. Steam. Installed. In. A. System. Folder. That. You. Would. Have. Needed. To. Manually. Override. Permissions. For. internal screaming intensifies.

[finite meteor]

i have no idea

[wheat torrent]

https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/4BD4-4528-6B2E-8327

[finite meteor]

i always install things on local disk c

[formal sonnet]

Kk well the past is in the past. Just know that using certain folders for things can result in unexpected problems later. 👀 https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/92fd2g/windows_perflogs_folder_dilemma/

[wheat torrent]

^

[finite meteor]

there is no other one

[wheat torrent]

it says its installed in perflogs

you have to change the folder and move all your games to a different folder

[finite meteor]

im pressing select folder but nothing is happening

it doesn't add it

[azure topaz]

last one

[stoic nova]

Another reason The root of c should be off limits for creation by programs

Intetpub symlink is such a Band-Aid fix too

[stark kiln]

I think theres smth wrong either with my wifi or wifi dongle cause it's not recognized on my pc

[stoic nova]

And it's such an eyesore

AMD dumps their temp installation data there too

[formal sonnet]

If only there was a way to create a singular, temporary folder for such things... 🤔 Something like C:\temp or similar. Oh well. I guess this is too hard for developers to achieve. We will never know.

[stark kiln]

Wifi issue cause it won't connect from my phone either

[stoic nova]

It's interesting to me that they can't just use the already existing system hidden folders

No sane person actually uses their computer with that visible*

[azure topaz]

wat

[stoic nova]

In explorer properties

You have user hidden folders. This is what most people leave visible. Ya know. The appdata folder

There's another option for system hidden folders you can view

And its very much not intended for typical use. Every empty folder has a desktop.ini file among many other things for temp/cache/metadata

[azure topaz]

okay but a lot of normal people leave it on

[stoic nova]

Show me the root of your c drive right now

[azure topaz]

exactly for appdata because they play minecraft or similar 😭

[stoic nova]

You're still mistaking what I'm saying for user hidden folders

[stoic nova]

Jesus what's wrong with you

[azure topaz]

speechless i actually daily my windows install with hidden files on

[stoic nova]

Why

[azure topaz]

because i dont give a shit what my fucking file tree looks like

my bad i dont spend 24 hrs of my time in fucking file explorer for some reason? 😭

[stoic nova]

When have you ever interacted with any of those

[stoic nova]

You can at least make it easier on yourself

[azure topaz]

theres nothing hard about navigating file explorer

[stoic nova]

You should have seen the character in here 10 minutes ago

[azure topaz]

yeah im not them

i know where files go

[stoic nova]

Dang you must have spent a lot of time in file explorer then

[azure topaz]

perhaps computers are my job

6 whole extra folders in that btw

[stoic nova]

Mayhaps you could agree with my take from not your own software literate perspective

[azure topaz]

no

1. why would i give you that satisfaction
2. if a normal person leaves it on they probably wont realise until they get curious one day

6 whole extra folders is not killing you

[formal sonnet]

I do too, not because I want to store things in those folders, but because I'm sick of Windows and other programs storing things where they shouldn't. Plus, I work with hidden files / folders and file extensions for my job so...

[stoic nova]

Well one extra folder killed someone's data

[azure topaz]

thats fire

is hidden file names being left on the reason for that

[stoic nova]

No it's the solution to that

[azure topaz]

soooo

[azure topaz]

exactly lol

[stoic nova]

I thought you came here knowing the context of which you disagreed with my take

But now it seems like you're defending a personal decision

[azure topaz]

no i just think its weird to call other people weird for turning on hidden files

not that deep 😭

[stoic nova]

That's a joke

[azure topaz]

totally

[stoic nova]

So uh.

[plush wren]

whats wrong with turning on hidden files

[azure topaz]

apparently im a freak and should be killed or sumn

[stoic nova]

Play any good games lately

[plush wren]

can you do attrib +h +s on a folder

oh u can

[stoic nova]

Could break something

[ionic peak]

Should i have a 3th pc?

[stoic nova]

Actually never mind you can straight to delete perflogs

[azure topaz]

my 2st computer is fire do it

[left dove]

3th

[bronze summit]

4rd

[ionic peak]

mine to

[azure topaz]

4st compute ris where it gets crtazy

[ionic peak]

ye trow it in a rag and look like big pc

[azure topaz]

im gonna go brush my hair now

[ionic peak]

Many hair?

[azure topaz]

many

[ionic peak]

gl not pulling some hair

[azure topaz]

[trail forum]
