Nice cabels

[trail forum]

Is that a joke lol I’m shit at cable management

[hexed tapir]

Bend the metal bar or remove it

[ionic peak]

Same

[azure topaz]

it doesn’t look like it stops it

clearly the gpu is past it and there is a gap

[trail forum]

I saw a video with someone with the same case in the same orientation

[azure topaz]

unless you mean from goin down

[trail forum]

Idk about same gpu tho

[azure topaz]

but i had a similar case (4000D) and never had any problems

[broken palm]

great one microsoft

[trail forum]

I’ve got a 4000d rs argb

[ionic peak]

In my pc is like 1cm more and this thing look like sparky

[trail forum]

So it’s not my 4000d case that’s the issue then

Clearly I’m not using enough force or something

[azure topaz]

be gentle

ish

[ionic peak]

Yes it can cut you

[azure topaz]

metal tabs on the bracket of the gpu go past the motherboard

[trail forum]

Idk I feel like the bar is impacting me to get it in

When I push it a little bit the bar bends a bit

[ionic peak]

Hmm cheep monitor at what cost

[swift moss]

[ionic peak]

[swift moss]

[swift moss]

semiconductor company that split off from NXP

[deft spire]

That's actually ok

[swift moss]

master of the ram

[ionic peak]

[azure topaz]

not the rgb tho

[swift moss]

that's okay

[swift moss]

@peak knot

[azure topaz]

seems that rgb softwares wont interface with it, im going to try the native one

[deft spire]

Yeah i bought a 3050 6gb laptop a month ago but its 95w I hope I didn't commit grave mistake

[swift moss]

i reckon he can fix this hehe

[deft spire]

Why rgb just why

[swift moss]

some enjoy the presence of rgb

[azure topaz]

cheap sticks for good bin and guaranteed ic i wanted

[ionic peak]

And for main pc 3060

[swift moss]

you reckon signalrgb can control my water color

[ionic peak]

When red

[azure topaz]

oh my god it is signal

[ionic peak]

Signal to rgb

[azure topaz]

well this isnt working either

i wonder if i partly killed the lighting ic's

lets dig thru the bios ig

[deft spire]

Anyone agree that we should ditch react atom electron and those frameworks kind of and go back to pure cpp c and asm code for apps and things

[ionic peak]

Should I add rgb in my pc?

[deft spire]

Your pc your rules. Personally I wouldn't

[ionic peak]

Wana see it

[deft spire]

Sure

[ionic peak]

Its in pc build

[deft spire]

I wouldn't. I would just buy a retro kind of mouse to go with that keyboard abd probably won't use mouse mat

I kinda like retro but with munimalism I would rather find old style case to replace the black one with but maybe not cus monitor is black. Well its all up to you but good rig bro hope you enjoy it

[ionic peak]

Retro kit?

[deft spire]

Kinda

[ionic peak]

I got it for 10 euros

[deft spire]

Bro im Bosnia it would be like 40

[ionic peak]

I got whole setup for 200

[deft spire]

Now that's cool bro. Don't care about money as long as you enjoy it😀

[ionic peak]

I do

[deft spire]

Then its perfect as it is its just small details

[ionic peak]

Wana know how much what costed

[deft spire]

Did you buy new or used

[ionic peak]

All used

[deft spire]

Well if its good quality its ok

Just that ring about ssd you said I'll do it ASAP because I couldn't bear hdd speeds

[ionic peak]

250gb ssd I have

[deft spire]

Yeah its pretty small im having problems with 512GB one but yeah I have ets2 and got and bunch of coding projects but still bigger is better

Gn bro I rly gotta go. Sweet dreams

Got some new IEMs. Sound great in Battlefield
A bit harder to drive than my old EW200 but the treble is nowhere near as harsh

[white pawn]

Do I need to plug all these in?

[formal sonnet]

If you want to use what's on the other end of them, yes.

[rain cypress]

wtf is wrong with my windows

chat help

[white pawn]

I think they’re for my case fans, where do they go?

[formal sonnet]

They're not for your case fans at all... They plug into the Front Panel header pins, usually located in the corner of your motherboard. Match up the labels on the plugs with the label on your motherboard. If confused, check your case and motherboard user manual, available on the manufacturer websites.

[white pawn]

This corner?

What’s the difference between PLED- and PWR_LED-?

[formal sonnet]

Likely nothing. Manufacturer's choosing to use different labels because standards are hard. Check your motherboard manual if you're unsure.

[white pawn]

Ok

[wheat torrent]

read the manual

[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

[formal sonnet]

Turn off the Gaming Copilot widget from the Game Bar settings menu, or uninstall Game Bar...?
https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2025/09/18/gaming-copilot-xbox-pc-mobile/

[random gyro]

sup folks

[marsh relic]

i dont think that article tells you how to get rid of it

and i need the xbox app if im gonna play things like sea of thieves etc

[formal sonnet]

No, but it has screenshots that show the UI. I told you how to get right of it based on those screenshots. (I would do my own screenshot, but I don't have this feature yet so I cannot.)

[formal sonnet]

Game Bar and Xbox are 2 different apps? Or at least they are on my system. IDK. I don't use either. They're both not Steam.

[stark kiln]

my wifi speed is 1mbps rn\

[formal sonnet]

Oh right, Game Bar is not uninstallable because thanks Microsoft. Press WIN+G to open Game Bar, then click the Settings icon, then More Settings > Widgets > CoPilot toggle? If one doesn't exist, then I guess you don't turn it off.

[stark kiln]

it should be counted as haram ist\g

[marsh relic]

if that was the fix i wouldve done it earlier to at least try 😅

maybe i can turn game bar off since theres no uninstall lol

[slow marsh]

Need help! I have a boot light on in my pc, just built it, I’m a first time builder, and idk what to do

[dusk patio]

Is it blinking (in a pattern)? What does the manual say? I also just joined, but but maybe try #1027757333117415424

[hexed tapir]

Plug it in the power button port

[white pawn]

I managed to plug them all into the right spots!

[stark kiln]

opinion on BF6?

[tall jetty]

thats not rgb thats frankinstien hosptial wibe

[tall jetty]

tecnically u only need to plug the power switch u can hold the power switch to turn of and press it again to restart

personally i use the restart switch as restetting the cmos cuz my mobo doesnt have a physical switch

for that

[white pawn]

I’ve got this fan hub and the manual doesn’t have any text, only pictures, which don’t show these. Any clue where the cables go??

[tall jetty]

plug that to the motherboards argb header

the wire that comes out of the hub to a argb hum in motherboard

[white pawn]

Which one?

[tall jetty]

and plug the sata from psu if the hub has one

[toxic nova]

The lion does not concern himself with the minor bottleneck

[white pawn]

These are the cables from the hub

[tall jetty]

one on the left goes to motherboard

middle psu

the right one is on system fan

[white pawn]

How does the middle one go into the psu

[tall jetty]

there is somthing that looks like this its called satat 15pin

connector

u plug it into that

[white pawn]

Yeah all I know is that comes from the PSU and goes into my SATA SSD

Ohhhhhhh

THAT WAS A FEMALE CABLE

[tall jetty]

yup

[white pawn]

I’m so tired lol

Been doing this for 8 hours

[tall jetty]

first time

[white pawn]

[empty quartz]

I have 3 gt 710’s

[toxic nova]

So i have like 6 gaming pcs and a couple workstations

[empty quartz]

I have too many pc’s

My main workstation has 256gb of ram

[tall jetty]

only have 5 here but all 5 of em ar almost the same level cuz 4 of them are used by family members and 1 is a server

[tribal matrix]

no reply 😞

[tall jetty]

[empty quartz]

I am not going threadshitter

[toxic nova]

The one weakness in an amd chip

[tall jetty]

[empty quartz]

18c36t

Im planning on upgrading to something like x299 with a 9980xe or 10980xe

[tall jetty]

what do u use it for a server?? for hosting stuff or machine learning i doubt that it can be used for that it will for sure struggle

[empty quartz]

No

[tall jetty]

so machine learning??

[empty quartz]

No

[tall jetty]

music production??

[empty quartz]

Anything

[toxic nova]

he uses it to say he has 256gb memory

[tall jetty]

for flexing??

naw u are down bad

[empty quartz]

Video editing, photo editing, data recovery, 3d rendering, that sort of stuff @tall jetty

[tall jetty]

tryna pull the tech nerds huh

almost got pulled

[empty quartz]

Just a single 2 minute 4k30 hdr video of mine uses 12gb

[toxic nova]

how much storage does it have

[empty quartz]

Enough

[tall jetty]

are we flexing storage usage here

[empty quartz]

No, its my reasoning for 256gb

[toxic nova]

More or less than 24tb

[empty quartz]

14tb

[tall jetty]

just finished 12tb of storage

4 more tb left in the server

or nas

[toxic nova]

I got a good deal and paid $100 for 20tb

[sturdy thistle]

It’s Mini DP 1.2, I’m asking if the cable itself supports it. Decided to go with a Quadro K620 instead of a FirePro W4100 now tho

[white pawn]

Which one again?

[white pawn]

No way you’re serious

[toxic nova]

Yeah i am

[white pawn]

How.. where??

[toxic nova]

Local computer store

[white pawn]

God damn bro

I’m sitting here with 3.5 TB and I want like 4 more

[valid canyon]

Hoarder alert

[white pawn]

Fr

Cmon tho I just don’t wanna run out 😭

[random gyro]

i have 3TB and want no more

[dusk patio]

I have 3TB but only 1TB is SSD storage and it's running low 🙃

[sudden marten]

what should my gpu budget be on an about $1k build?

[valid canyon]

All of you fuckers need to take intro into CS except for @random gyro

He’s okay. I respect the approach h

[left trellis]

what are the downsides of used ssds

[random gyro]

huh 😭

[left trellis]

Ive taken a few cs classes :3

[empty quartz]

Why do i need to take comp sci?

[valid canyon]

Suffering

[left trellis]

country?

[sudden marten]

US, sorry

[left trellis]

and gaming only? also what games / genre of games

[empty quartz]

Pretty sure i took it before you did

[valid canyon]

I liked the “I don’t need more” given that you’re a photographer

[random gyro]

i took cad engineering back like 5 years ago or so

[random gyro]

well not professional lol

[left trellis]

probably a 9070

[white pawn]

Where does this fan hub cable go on the motherboard 🤔

[valid canyon]

That’s actually a trick question. I’ve never taken a cs class

[sudden marten]

gaming, photoshop, and watching movies n stuff. i play pretty much every different type of game

[left trellis]

the jrgb header

[white pawn]

You mean ARGB

[left trellis]

no :3

[dusk patio]

If this is gaming PC, as much as you reasonably can. If you look at the PCMR Builds website, they choose a 9060XT for their $1000 build, which is about $350 USD

[left trellis]

wait youre right mb

jrgb is 4 pin

[valid canyon]

Well it’s about the approach. I respect an organized individual

[white pawn]

What about these that are connected to this?

[valid canyon]

Now hold your horses unc

[sudden marten]

how much better is the 9060xt than the 5060? also is the 5060ti 16gb a valid option for a build around that price?

[valid canyon]

Them rocking chairs aren’t gonna rock themselves

[empty quartz]

im not an unc, not even close to unc age 😭😭😭😭

[valid canyon]

Well girlie, come at me with “taken before you” get what you deserve

Ain’t that right

[white pawn]

Weren’t you a victim of my CPU murder 3 years ago btw

[empty quartz]

No

[valid canyon]

Lies

[sudden marten]

problem with my situation is that i already have 32gb of ddr4, so i dont want to get a cpu that can only run ddr5

[empty quartz]

@white pawn as of yet, i have not killed a single cpu

[white pawn]

Man I had to buy DDR5 components today and abandon my DDR5 2x16 GB sticks 😔

[white pawn]

I killed it with water damage when trying to replace the thermal paste

How wise of 13-year-old me 😂

[sudden marten]

so i probably want to go AM4, is getting an am4 rn a bad decisions

[valid canyon]

Not very!

[white pawn]

Guys?

https://tenor.com/view/themoreyouknow-more-know-gif-4483207

[valid canyon]

It depends. Any text on em?

[toxic nova]

i dont need to

[white pawn]

Feels so satisfying to have brought my old GPU on the plane and now it works in a new PC in a new country

[white pawn]

Left is HD audio, right is USB

[sudden marten]

is it like a really bad idea to get an am4 or is that fine

[valid canyon]

Judging by CSS on your website that shit itself on an iPhone

[toxic nova]

my mate made that site

[valid canyon]

A nice site though. I adore functionality

[toxic nova]

Yeah its good

tryna buy a 3090 rn

[sullen sable]

hey yall quick question, whats the cheapest cpu cooler out there for the ryzen 7 9700x?

[white pawn]

Nvm I got it

[white pawn]

Get a 9070 (optionally xt)

[toxic nova]

I dont want an amd card

[white pawn]

Fair enough

[wheat torrent]

why arent you reading a manual

[toxic nova]

I know they've improved over time though

Im not saying they are bad just I wouldn't personally buy one unless it was an old and perfected platform

[white pawn]

The manual is just pictures

I got all the cables figured out now so it’s all good tho!

[wheat torrent]

trust me the manual has everything you need to get the pc up and running\

[toxic nova]

That reminds me i have an RX (470??) somewhere without a shroud

[white pawn]

Actually not this one lol the case was only like $45 that’s why

[wheat torrent]

motherboard manual

[white pawn]

Ohh alr

[dusk patio]

I swear I see people asking so many questions online that are answered in the manual that they didn't read

[wheat torrent]

I mean its fine for the most part but he been doing this for the past few hours

[zealous plover]

Is this fan good enough for a ryzen 5 5600? https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/cooling/cpu-coolers/104888-assassin-x-120-refined-se-argb

Or would the stock cooler be better?

[agile cape]

Could anyone tell me if this is a good monitor? I currently use a FHD IPS display monitor at 144hz.

Not interested in OLED, it's too expensive for me. And I don't think I plan on doing any 4k gaming.

[zealous plover]

I don’t see anything wrong with it

It looks like a nice upgrade

And you could still use the old monitor as a secondary display

[agile cape]

Do you it's a good buy or would I possbly get a much deeper discount if I were to wait until Black Friday?

[zealous plover]

I would wait until black Friday

Than it will be the best buy

🥀 you didn’t get it

[agile cape]

Did not purchase yet, though I could use my brother's Best Buy account. And get 60 day returns to hold me over until Black Friday just in case.

[zealous plover]

Is your Moniter broken?

I would just wait

[agile cape]

No, just looking to upgrade.

[sinful cobalt]

its for you to eat microplastics in place of the turtles

[keen loom]

Depends, 1080p or no? I got my wife the 8gb version and for the games they play at 1080p it does great

[sudden marten]

yeah 1080p but im probably getting a new monitor within the next year or 2

[keen loom]

Then do 16gb if you're gonna go to 1440

Honestly I'm impressed by the 8gb after all the doom and gloom, Space Marine 2 Max settings except texture resolution turned down by one level gets 80-100fps without framegen at 1080p, and does 140+ with frame gen, which is great for when by buddy borrows my wife's PC while his girlfriend and my wife build LEGO together

Then i exited the command prompt and exited the flash env and rebooted and got to the black screen that i hadnt seen in a while that says windows cant boot yada ya

i guess my D/Windows folder is cooked because its missing certain folders.. like WinSxS and others. No idea how that happened.

normally if its at the top you'd go straight for exhaust instead considering you already have 2 intakes at the front regardless of the exhaust at the back

exhaust will do you just fine

shouldnt be an issue

[azure topaz]

wont fit but eventually

[sinful cobalt]

if theres a hole theres a goal

[azure topaz]

cannot put hole in power supply

0 chance at fitting

[fossil mauve]

alright sick chhers

[hollow creek]

[kindred halo]

Yikes, C- PSU

Though isn't a minus rating usually just the lack of a warranty / a short one?

Okay just checked
If manufacturer warranty is <3 years, then it gets a C-

[fossil mauve]

just cut up a random 240v wall cable and connect it directly to the motherboard

[fossil mauve]

<3

[kindred halo]

X3
It was on purpose :3

[exotic valley]

i think its fine as long as it matches the gauge (AWG) of the PSU cables

should be able to work without any problems

i often make cables myself

[fossil mauve]

yeah i suggest trying it

no i mean just connected to the wall

240 volts should make the gpu faster right?

[kindred halo]

Just a cut up cable connected directly to the wall <3

[fossil mauve]

this guy knows whats up

[kindred halo]

Maybe
Though I only have ~220V of the stuff so :'<

[exotic valley]

you need to manually lower the voltage with transformer if you want to connect to the wall

[kindred halo]

Mrs.............

[grizzled frost]

you’d also have to turn it into DC

[exotic valley]

yeh

[fossil mauve]

not really no

[exotic valley]

ac to dc, and reduce some ripples

[grizzled frost]

so essentially what a PSU does

[kindred halo]

No need, the board will just use the extra volts to overclock itself to 240%!!!!!!
(/s)

[fossil mauve]

i mean as long as u do it right none of it matters in the long or short term

[exotic valley]

essentially make a psu yourself

[fossil mauve]

nah cus like

if u just hook it up all ur pc issues will be solved

as soon as that 240v hits ur body

[grizzled frost]

once that 240v hits your body your pc is the least of your concerns

[fossil mauve]

thats my point

[kindred halo]

That's the idea, Iroh gets it

[left trellis]

is there any output difference between a 3 x 8 pin to 12vhpwr and a 2x8 pin 12vhpwr

[fossil mauve]

everything will be fixed if u use wall power as a psu for ur computer

[kindred halo]

Just electric chair yourself without any of the preparations mane

[grizzled frost]

450w vs 300w

[grizzled frost]

i mean in the electric chair i doubt anyone is worrying about their PC

[fossil mauve]

lmao

anyone want a free graphics card?

[kindred halo]

Is it a 240v victim

[fossil mauve]

its a whole ass 980ti

victim?? i prefer uhhh

recipient

[kindred halo]

That's better than the card I was using since errr 2018 (till 2024)

[grizzled frost]

how melted is it

and how fast did the breaker trip

lmao it was my experiment, i ran it with no cooler now it dont work

[kindred halo]

"Did I leave wallpaper engine running?"

[grizzled frost]

what did you think was gonna happen

[kindred halo]

At the same time
Do you want my overpressure damaged 1050 Ti? :3

[grizzled frost]

when you let something catastrophically overheat it tends not to be happy about it

[kindred halo]

It still occasionally gives an output but lots of artifacting

And it flickers more than fnaf 3 camera system

[fossil mauve]

well no i did have a cooler kinda, i was trying different insulators cus i was bored

i tried ham and cheese and stuff

[white pawn]

Ignore the buzzing sound (it’s my broken camera)

What is going on and how can I troubleshoot it?

[trail forum]

Dumb question but updating bioses on gigabyte boards there’s an option to keep dmi data

What is that and do I need to check it?

[white pawn]

It started just fine before. The only change I did was loosening the motherboard screws a bit.

Clearly not a motherboard issue because the GPU and fans get power?

Or maybe it is I don’t know I’m just panicking rn

[kindred halo]

Fair enough

:> @fossil mauve

Guess the card

[buoyant bridge]

god the advantage of old CPUs is this shit won't even hurt them

this shit will kill modern CPUs pretty quick regardless of brand

19C to 80C??? thats more than 20nm of shift on transistors 😭

[keen loom]

That's what gets done, the comment above yours is about Space Marine 2 and it runs great

[wheat torrent]

not really they throttle down at specified temps

[valid fiber]

👀

[buoyant bridge]

heat doesn't kill CPUs

(extreme temps do yeah but not this level they're designed to run at 80C actually)

[solar moat]

is there problem?

[buoyant bridge]

big expansion gap

[solar moat]

?

[buoyant bridge]

max expansion gap on 22mm cpus is 60C

[buoyant bridge]

thermal expansion is what kills cpus

the smaller the process node the smaller the gap

[solar moat]

just about all moden cpus can take 100C

[buoyant bridge]

yes but not going from 20C to 100C over and over

that will kill them

[solar moat]

ok your math is off

[buoyant bridge]

how LMFAO

the shift in a 22nm process node would be 24nm or more to cause damage at all
20nm of shift occurs over 60C of gap
20C-80C is 60C of gap

smaller process node = smaller gap needed to fully shift a transistor

[solar moat]

wait how the fuck is it expanding by 10% with only 60k change

[buoyant bridge]

thats the expansion coefficient of silicon?

[brave brook]

downgrading my server from 2950x to 5700G resulted in 50W drop in idle power usage. Pretty substantial difference 😄

[buoyant bridge]

technically 60C is accounting for slop too, its gonna be realistically more like a 4.74% increase but when you account for slop it ends up being more like a 9-10% incrase

[solar moat]

what is the coefficient

[buoyant bridge]

3.54% to 4.74% across 60C
accounting for slop is a 5-6% addition to that leaving you with 8.54% to 10.74%

https://www.ioffe.ru/SVA/NSM/Semicond/Si/thermal.html

[solar moat]

i think your math is off

[buoyant bridge]

how?

[solar moat]

2.6*10^-6°k

i dont get how your got those numbers

[solar moat]

steel has a way higher coefficient and i need closer to 200K change to even get it to move less then that

[solar moat]

i needed to use that at work a few times for fitting parts togerther

[buoyant bridge]

omg yeah ur right 😭

i was super fucking off

[solar moat]

i think you forget to 2.6 *10^-6

vs just 2.6

[buoyant bridge]

yeah 😭

this is why enginers double check math oml

[solar moat]

and ther silicon will allmost become conductor at like less then 200C

many moden cpus till run into cold bugs at low temps but not all of them like 14900ks was at -192C just fine for the 9ghz reconrd

[solar moat]

and allso its % change meaing somthing smaller will change by smaller amount vs a large thing since 1% of 100 is 1 where 1% of 1 is 0.01

fun fact that same reason the fitment charts list size of parts your working with

[solar moat]

https://fractory.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Limits_and_Fits-1.jpg

btw i still got hard copy of this chart in 3 books i have

[buoyant bridge]

I had a first happen today

[solar moat]

no you did not

[buoyant bridge]

ran a HDD so long it never had a smart error till today where the motor failed

I've NEVER seen that in person

14 year old HGST sas drive

[valid fiber]

how much data was lost?

[brave brook]

i have a WD Red 6TB i retired when it hit 90k hours ran

[buoyant bridge]

nothing it was in a raid array just pulled it out and swapped in a new one and initalized it

its a RAID 10 I can lost upto 4 of the 10 drives before any data loss

(technically I can only lose one per pair)

[valid fiber]

i copy all my backups manually

btw whats the advantage of sas drives?

[buoyant bridge]

nowadays nothing afaik

oh yeah found these behind the server rack at work and took them home today

looks like whoever worked on this rack before I owned the building was a wood worker too lol, these are proper S4S 2x4s that the UPS was using as rear posts

yellow pine so these where 100% cut by whoever put them there or they had them for awhile

[haughty compass]

Anything I can do to fix a 2019 mbp that all the ports stopped working on? Tried taking it to a repair shop and they said it would be like $400 to repair... Tested it with an aftermarket battery and it turns on and works but won't respond to any USB connections

[buoyant bridge]

15"?

[haughty compass]

Uh idk

[brave brook]

i think i should try to sell my 2950x + x399 taichi system while it still has some value 😄 . Looking at ebay, i see the CPU going for around $200 (with exceptions), same for boards. But seems like they are worth less here in EU, oh well

[buoyant bridge]

oh cus the 15" has socketed USB C ports you could try removing and physically inspecting

if they aren't physically damaged look at the socket, if theres no visible damage its prob a dead controller and the laptop is fucked

[haughty compass]

Idk if I did it correctly but it has USB ports that I unplugged as well and got 3rd party one that I plugged in but that didn't work either

[buoyant bridge]

dead controller then

you'd have to do some microsoldering to fix it

TI offically still sells the controllers though

they're like $60 a peice you'd need 3 for a 2019

[vale lotus]

Anyone here know how to get into a laptop without the pass code or the email attached to it I'm trying to log into a laptop i used a few years ago

[haughty compass]

How hard of a repair is it

[buoyant bridge]

if its windows and has a email attached and is on a version before 20H2 you can use the old school replace the accessibility wizard with a cmd then create a local acc

[buoyant bridge]

if you're not experienced with microsoldering you're gonna screw up your board worse

[haughty compass]

Never micro soldered

Just once with like a speaker cable and it was so bad

[buoyant bridge]

nvm I was wrong about the 2019 it's intel controllers and there is only 2

you have desolder and resolder about 150 pins on thsoe pink chips

[haughty compass]

[buoyant bridge]

https://www.electromaker.io/shop/product/intel-jhl7540-thunde-rbolt-3-controller
$400 for that repair is actually pretty damn good lol
$50 in parts and $350 in labor for microsoldering like that is not bad at all for private market

[vale lotus]

How exactly would I tell that

[buoyant bridge]

try. thats about the only way

[brave brook]

seeing that ifixit picture, it will never stop being funny that 2018 Mac Mini has a BGA version of LGA CPUs

[buoyant bridge]

you can run winver in a recovery shell but sometimes thatll show a older version

[buoyant bridge]

does it? I thought it used laptop CPUs

[haughty compass]

But the same laptop

[buoyant bridge]

microsoldering repairs are never worth it unless you need specific things off that system

[haughty compass]

Would a faulty charger cause this?

[buoyant bridge]

no.

its dead controllers if you already replaced the ports.

[haughty compass]

How does that happen then

[buoyant bridge]

most thunderbolt controllers from 2018-2020 had random failures.

[vale lotus]

How do I do that method

[haughty compass]

Bru

[buoyant bridge]

well see you have a thing called google.com / bing.com

[buoyant bridge]

you can TRY cooking them

[vale lotus]

This is a tech chat for a reason 😭

[buoyant bridge]

macs won't let you reflash the firmware but I've been able to save my thinkpad before by reflashing the FW on the same controller

[buoyant bridge]

[formal sonnet]

Can confirm. Looks at pile of ~$400 CAD Dell TB docks at work all slated for the recycling bin.

[peak knot]

I don’t work at SRGB anymore

[buoyant bridge]

TB16/WD16s? those things failed like flies

[brave brook]

2012 used mobile CPUs (2c and 4c), 2014 used mobile ULV CPUs (2c), 2018 used BGA versions of i3-8100/i5-8500/i7-8700, 2020 and further are ARM

[buoyant bridge]

they needed active chip cooling and those delta fans sucked, the fans would die then the controllers would cook themselves due to no way to protect themselves

[brave brook]

DFU mode ? or you mean just the TB controller

[formal sonnet]

For us, it's been largely WD19TB/TBS models. "Fan failure" even though the fan was working just fine. Random units that died during a firmware update. USB ports that just stop working until they're power cycle'd. Etc.

[buoyant bridge]

65W seems like T chips

[buoyant bridge]

just the TB controller

[haughty compass]

So known issue and nothing to do besides watching the controller just deciding to end the entire laptop basically?

[swift moss]

Wait what

[buoyant bridge]

mhm. its probably cheaper to buy a used board off ebay then it is to repair yours

[haughty compass]

[swift moss]

Omgg u gotta tell me what happened

[brave brook]

just locked chips, normal i5-8500 is same https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/129939/intel-core-i58500-processor-9m-cache-up-to-4-10-ghz/specifications.html

Welp

Make that the 2nd cooked MacBook now 🐱

[buoyant bridge]

stop buying macbooks and dont buy problem year thinkpads (2017-2020)

[peak knot]

Nah, just that I don’t work there anymore, plan on going to college full time for the next couple years

[buoyant bridge]

99% of the issues a macbook will give you a problem year thinkpad will have too

[haughty compass]

Other 1 is a 2016 mbp with a cracked screen, a battery that last 20min and keyboard that has 2 keys that don't work

[buoyant bridge]

didn't 2016 start the impossible to replace keyboards lol

[haughty compass]

The worst part is that the screen cracked from taking a screen protector off

[brave brook]

let's hope my 2019 Macbook Pro 16" will live long life. Need ~1.5 years of macOS life from it, then it will be windows or Kubuntu (or other KDE) system

[haughty compass]

Pretty sure like the butterfly keyboard or whatever

[buoyant bridge]

wayyy back I ran opendarwin before it was shutdown

[swift moss]

Oh coool, good idea

[brave brook]

i think 2016 was the worst one. It had the staingate (displays), keyboard issue and also flexgate (flex cable rubbing away)

[haughty compass]

Still have a 2015 MacBook air as well but uhh it's 4gb of ram ain't saving it... Macos chugs and windows doesn't run much better

[brave brook]

use it as server or mini PC with external display and external peripherials

[buoyant bridge]

wait not opendarwin it was the one apple made for devs for the powerPC macs i forgot its name

[brave brook]

OCLP ? Dosdude patcher ?

[haughty compass]

Got 3 MacBooks in my life, 1 is useless atp, 1 is half broke, and 1 is too low spec for anything

[haughty compass]

Might do that

[buoyant bridge]

no it was an offical thing back in like 2003 lol

[haughty compass]

I do also have a 2014 Mac mini that I use for a projector

So idk what I would use it for tho

[brave brook]

run docker stuff on it, for example something like network monitoring system (run something like Zabbix on it)

[haughty compass]

Hm

[buoyant bridge]

apparently it was just regular darwin apple used to provide you for running on powerPC macs

I know before the intel macs came out apple had a usable open source version of darwin for powerPC macs

I ran it on a PMG5

[haughty compass]

From what I'm seeing online, im confused on what exactly zabbix is...

So like u can monitor network traffic on the wifi?

[brave brook]

no. it monitors other systems using various tools and if something goes out of range, it notifies you.
So for example it can do simple ping monitoring, but also it can run commands and for example notify you if result of some command is out of bounds of expected parameters. An example - you could have it monitor your email accounts, and notify you if you got more than 20 unread emails. Or you got your disk space usage above 90%. And so on

[buoyant bridge]

I was running darwin since back in the day I was a software dev much more than I am now and I wanted to get into 64 bit programming RIGHT when it came around and this was the absolute earliest devolpment setup for 64 bit that ever existed avaliable to consumers (a few really specific closed off powerPC and AMD systems existed before this a few months prior but the G5 on darwin was the very first system that could truly run and devolp 64 bit code)

[haughty compass]

Huh that's actually interesting and would probably be cool to setup but knowing my lazy ass I would just forget about it until like 2 months down the line when I can't sleep at 4am... Will try to see if I can set it up though after finishing up my assignments

[brave brook]

it makes sense in business environment, maybe not at home. but if you got many systems, it might be worth doing some monitoring

[buoyant bridge]

darwin ran full 64 bit code back in 2003
MacOS didn't support full 64 bit code till 2009
Windows didn't till 2007
Linux didn't till like 2004 (excluding RRHEL which had its own ways to run x86-64 code in 2003)

[brave brook]

personally i am using beszel, as i don't need extra features, just system stats + offline/online state

[buoyant bridge]

I use windows server 👻

[haughty compass]

Would a 2016 mbp work for setting up a Plex server or is that underpowered? Wanted to always set one up but never had a spare computer that could just be left on and not touched

[buoyant bridge]

laptops which cannot power their hardware on charger fully are not recommended

Macbooks need more power than they can take over USB C

[haughty compass]

Oh I see

[formal sonnet]

For something like a Plex or Jellyfin server, I recommend one of those Dell / HP / Lenovo mini PC's.
Example: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/157390254719

[buoyant bridge]

^
if you wanna do more stuff on it look for a LGA intel desktop and put a T chip in it

if you wanna do even more go for actual server hardware (large numbers of VMs, high speed networking, VPN hole servers, large throughput networking

those mini PCs offer tons of value for the money though and have pretty good hardware

[haughty compass]

15yr old PC work?

[formal sonnet]

And they sip power when not being heavily used. I'm eventually setting up 3x identical Dell Optiplex 3060's in a ProxMox High Availability cluster, controlled by an Optiplex 3080... if I can make the time to figure it all out.

[buoyant bridge]

if ur not doing encoding yes

[buoyant bridge]

tbf my xeons reguarly drop down to 10W each when not being heavily used

any modernish CPU (sandy or newer) has low power states

[haughty compass]

I'm not entirely sure what u mean by this... Cus I know videos are encoded like to be like a smaller size than just raw right?

[radiant lion]

Yo, can I ask an off topic question

[buoyant bridge]

plex can do GPU encoding for video playback on clients

that CPU won't have enough bandwith to handle it though

just serving the files yeah it'll be fine though

[haughty compass]

Ok gotchu

[buoyant bridge]

I'd use jellyfin personally tbh

I only haven't switched because I have lifetime plex pass

[haughty compass]

So to have it be more demanding on the receiving side instead of the giving side

[haughty compass]

Is that expensive 😨

[buoyant bridge]

psure they don't even sell it anymore

[haughty compass]

I remember I tested with jellyfin once

Got it installed on my tizen tv

[buoyant bridge]

yeah its trippled in price lmfaoooo

[brave brook]

me going down in idle power usage by 50W when switching my server from 2950x to 5700G 😄

[buoyant bridge]

I bought it back when it was $75 for the lifetime pass its $250 now

[haughty compass]

[brave brook]

i switched anyway, i had the lifetime plex from when it was like $75 ?

[buoyant bridge]

you need plexpass to do remote streaming on plex fyi

(or the remote watch pass)

[brave brook]

i mean 5700G has above 24k passmark, 2950x is 29k passmark, so not that huge downgrade

[buoyant bridge]

if ur not connected via a local IP you can't stream

[haughty compass]

Dam

Yeah I'm usually at my dorm 5 days of the week

[brave brook]

tailscale ?

[buoyant bridge]

CGN ips only so nope

technically I think you can use routes to stream over tailscale?

[haughty compass]

Question. What can one do with old PC's? I got these 4 + the one earlier and they just sit here and I don't know what to use em for

[brave brook]

i don't understand what you said. Tailscale works through CGN, my systems are behind 2 routers and without public IPv4, with IPv6 disabled

[buoyant bridge]

yeah you can get around it using routes afaik

but if you're just putting tailscale on the system and connecting over a CGN ip it wont let you sream

[formal sonnet]

If newer than 10-15 years, maybe repurpose them. Otherwise, recycle them.

[haughty compass]

2 are from the 90s, one is early 00,s and one is 07

And idk about the last one but like 2010s

[brave brook]

I would say something like Sandy Bridge and newer have reasonable idle power usage and have at least some performance; older than that only as retro system if you need something like that, otherwise ewaste bin it goes

[haughty compass]

Hm I see

[brave brook]

like i use an Ivy Bridge ITX board with 3570K and 16GB RAM as backup NAS (doesn't run 24/7)

[haughty compass]

The newest one of the old PC's is sandy bridge

The 07 is a Pentium that remember I used to play Roblox on at 10fps like a decade ago so I guess all of the rest are gonna go ewaste

[brave brook]

seems like it has a normal motherboard (by HP/Dell standards) with standard parts, so you could probably also replace the PSU if needed for GPU

[haughty compass]

What do u think the most reasonable GPU to upgrade it to is

[buoyant bridge]

a GTX 1060 probably

[haughty compass]

Hol up

[brave brook]

depends on what you want to use it for. But considering the price, probably RX580 8GB ? Just keep in mind that Windows 11 is not officially supported on these, and if you want it to be a server, just don't bother with GPU at all unless you want it for transcoding

[haughty compass]

Wait a minute

I got an old GTX 1060 3gb

[brave brook]

standard PSU doesn't have the power cables needed for it tho, so you might need to replace the PSU

[haughty compass]

That's reasonable

Current one is 262w

U think 300w PSU would be fine

Wait not

I read it wrong 😭

Current one is also a 300w psu

So like 350/400w?

Or am I going overkill cus I'm not entirely sure on PSU wattages

[brave brook]

just buy/use one with at least a 6-pin power connector, and not completely horrible

[haughty compass]

Ok

Gotchu

[brave brook]

on other side this is probably a system which if dies, nobody will cry over it. So just make sure it is a normal ATX PSU mount in the case, that the board has a 24-pin power connector like in the picture above, and if yes, you can put in another ATX PSU with required power connectors if you got one

yours makes it harder to close the case due to being to close to the psu

[ionic peak]

hmm

[rigid fjord]

antisag right there

[gloomy sleet]

oh

[rigid fjord]

only a few have it built into the case

one of the best ones to have a built in antisag bracket technically is asus branded

[ionic peak]

I would want more back space

[rigid fjord]

they have good rear space for cable management, but yeah, the one i'm on about has a dual antisag bracket mount

[ionic peak]

I sended my case on this chanel already you can scroll a littel up to see

[rigid fjord]

asus rog strix helios , have a look at the 2 bars

[ionic peak]

Doesnt fit my parts

[rigid fjord]

this fits them, though the case you're using i'd end up using as a nas case

[ionic peak]

color wise

[rigid fjord]

nope, parts wise

[ionic peak]

its black only gpu is white

[rigid fjord]

the backside of the helios

[ionic peak]

my backside is metal

[rigid fjord]

helios comes in black also, using the white to show off the anitsag mounts as it doesn't blend in

[strange atlas]

how can i convert pdf file to word? i cant use those sites its important file

[rigid fjord]

you should see my case though

[ionic peak]

ye show

[brave brook]

RX9070 decided to drop the fire risk small connector used by nvidia and instead uses 3x8-pin

[rigid fjord]

back side with cover off, front side also

[brave brook]

File>Open in Word

[ionic peak]

how much is it?

[rigid fjord]

i paid £135 for mine

[ionic peak]

i did 10

[rigid fjord]

the side that shows mobo and gpu has tempered glass, the rear has a clipped in metal cover, also full atx

[rigid fjord]

weight of your case without anything inside it?

[ionic peak]

idk light

[strange atlas]

life saver thanks

[rigid fjord]

12.5kg without anything inside it for mine

[ionic peak]

So much

[rigid fjord]

i have joked about it asking "do you even lift?" with the fact of what's inside it the whole system weights around 25kg

[ionic peak]

still so much

[brave brook]

only ? Cosmos 2 was 22kg and wasn't even the heaviest case i seen

[rigid fjord]

fun bit, it has carbon fibre and brass accent pieces, also this is the rear of the case

[strange atlas]

is it possible to do this in libreoffice

[rigid fjord]

with packaging it's 15kg when it's in the box

[ionic peak]

mine is just Metal

[brave brook]

don't think so

[rigid fjord]

open it in word, then save as a .doc not .docx file, after that it's openable in any office word program

[strange atlas]

word weirdly breaks when i put the pdf in

[rigid fjord]

.doc = original word document format

[rigid fjord]

try opening in acrobat reader and do a copy + paste into word, or get acrobat to convert it to a doc file

acrobat will convert files over from pdf to other formats

[strange atlas]

thank you let me try

[rigid fjord]

@ionic peak@brave brook when the top cover is removed you see this on my case, i dremelled that bit out hehe

[ionic peak]

360mm aio?

[rigid fjord]

240mm aio installed but it maxes out at 280mm aio on the top

biggest advantage of my case

[strange atlas]

oh damn i gotta buy their subscription

[rigid fjord]

you could look up any free pdf software

also no to paying adobe for anything

[trail forum]

Don’t know how to cable manage those pcie power cables any better but all the sides are on just annoyed I can’t install my hard drive

[rigid fjord]

@trail forum

[trail forum]

Yeah

The back is better lol

But the front I’ve got the pcie cables going through that cutout

[rigid fjord]

where i show the red lines would make it cleaner for you instead of going through ehere the fans blow across

also looks like you're using the same rm850x as i have

2025 model

[trail forum]

Yes I am

So make the cables touch the glass by bringing them up and not around

Is this bad? I’m in windows

[cosmic lance]

can a 3'5 inch hard drive spin up at 5v?

[normal blade]

Yo guys anyone know what kinda tape to use for laptop screens?

[cosmic lance]

5v AND 12v?

[ionic peak]

yes

[cosmic lance]

nooooooo 😭

[random junco]

sticky tape

[normal blade]

Nah I mean the thickness

2mm, 1mm, 0.5mm

[ionic peak]

i use 3 wat on gpu ingame

[dull zinc]

Hey guys quick question, this site is called op.gg that i usually used for league of legends player checkups but like for some reason i can never use it like normal and it always load into this mess.

[whole garden]

Clear your browser's cache

[hardy iron]

guys does anyone know how to get windows 10 ltsc

because i hate windows 11

[whole garden]

Why

[hardy iron]

awful ui insane ram usage poor optimization

everything ran better for me on windows 10

insane bloatware

i even tried removing all the crap, no result...

[whole garden]

[hardy iron]

what

[random gyro]

@whole garden help me

[ebon marlin]

Probably cuz your pc is dogshit

[hardy iron]

i5 12400f
rx 580
12gb ram
i DO NOT plan on buying new parts for microsoft to spy me on their stupid 11

[ebon marlin]

Every person who I've seen say this is because their computer is dogshit

[hardy iron]

my pc may be a bit old but definetely not dogshit

[ebon marlin]

Microsoft is already spying on you with windows 10 and so is everybody else

[hardy iron]

its enough for my needs

[hardy iron]

atleast dont sacrifice my performance

[ebon marlin]

Eh pretty dogshit for todays standards

[hardy iron]

im not rich

[ebon marlin]

Ur performance is the same on windows 11 and 10

[hardy iron]

its definetely not 😄

[ebon marlin]

It is

[hardy iron]

bro is using my pc ☠️

[ebon marlin]

Windows 11 is literally built on Windows 10's foundation

[hardy iron]

and its 2x more bloated

[ebon marlin]

Just use windows 11 pro Workstation

[hardy iron]

yeah no way

[ebon marlin]

No unnecessary bloat

Had to use a script to get Microsoft store

Kinda difficult as there's no labeling other than numbers

[random gyro]

the top is aux and the bottom is main

[ebon marlin]

I'd recommend checking ur device's manual

[random gyro]

okay ty

[ebon marlin]

Also one thing you could also do is check for ur devices unbox video if it's a prebuilt system

Had a similar thing with a laptop I worked on so I just looked up a ram upgrade video so I could see the wifi card

[ionic peak]

I like multi cores

[ebon marlin]

I don't like your kind

[ionic peak]

why

i didnt do anythin

[ebon marlin]

[ionic peak]

hmm Brot

[shadow zealot]

i have a laptop with gtx 980m and 4710HQ and 16gb ram is it good enough for 25

[stone gazelle]

not great, not terrible

[shadow zealot]

middle?

[stone gazelle]

FSR gonna be saving your ass in some instances

[ebon marlin]

Depends what you're planning on playing

[ionic peak]

i think you can surely Play GTNH

[stark kiln]

I got a monitor

ViewSonic 24inch 1080p

[ionic peak]

how many hz?

[glass perch]

OH

[ebon marlin]

Except Asrock with their Taichi model

And Sapphire with their Nitro+ model

[rigid fjord]

cache issues

[rigid fjord]

it's possible but realisitcally unlikely, the motor is primarily 12v

[rigid fjord]

if you're getting a display through the gpu, it be fine

[cosmic lance]

sapphire mention, what even is a working rgb lighthing for nitro+ fpu's

[ebon marlin]

Just use signalrgb/openrgb

[past sonnet]

Can an i5-2400 and an quadro p620 run fallout 4 and maybe 76 or is the 1050ti worth the extra money

[stark kiln]

60hz but it's fine

[ebon marlin]

Doubt it can run fo76 but def 4

[trail forum]

I fixed the vga issue

It’s something odd with DisplayPort lol

If it doesn’t detect a display the led comes on

[past sonnet]

Can a 1050ti run 76?

[trail forum]

Loving my new pc tho just need to install my hard drive and other ssd

[ebon marlin]

Yeah

[trail forum]

Will hate that I have to take my gpu out the fucking pcie connector latch came apart today and I had to fix it

[white pawn]

I just loosened up my motherboard screws a tad bit, and the PC wouldn’t even turn on. When I tightened them a tad bit again, it now works. Was this a grounding issue? Either way, thank God 🙏

[sleek shell]

Can the nvdia tnt run cyberpunk 2077 at 64k 300hz rt on?

Just kidding

[white pawn]

NVIDIA TNT can run anything, this is common knowledge

[dull zinc]

how would i clear it because i cleared this and this.

[ashen cairn]

yo my pc is hanging vga and boot idk what to do

i removed gpu as well

pcie seems ok and PSU clicks when it comes on VGA

its my first boot

[left dove]

leave the gpu in and let the system figure shit out

[ashen cairn]

so just keep it on?

[left dove]

first boots always take time

[ashen cairn]

oh fr?

[left dove]

Yes

[ashen cairn]

so turn it off, plug gpu back in and turn it back on and js wait

[left dove]

yes

[frail topaz]

[left dove]

click the 3 dots

map as network drive

[white pawn]

Bros tryna flex his storage 😔

[left dove]

nnnno

me flexing 22tb is pointless when @ocean axle has like 500tb

[white pawn]

💀

What could he possibly need that for? School?

[ashen cairn]

how long approximately

[left dove]

fuck if I know, ask them when they get here

[left dove]

Did you plug the monitor into the gpu

[ashen cairn]

ofc

[left dove]

[white pawn]

Probably something malicious

[ashen cairn]

yuppp

[left dove]

are you certain

[white pawn]

Or a huuuge NAS server with every movie ever made

[ashen cairn]

yup

[ionic peak]

Nah cod update or .... Bigger getting games

[ashen cairn]

i heard the psu click when it comes on VGA so idk if thats bad

[white pawn]

Cod update is wild

[left dove]

psu click is normal, thats gonna happen on every boot.

[ashen cairn]

okayy

its been 5 minutes

[white pawn]

I just loosened up my motherboard screws a tad bit, and the PC wouldn’t even turn on. When I tightened them a tad bit again, it now works. Was this a grounding issue? Either way, thank God 🙏

[ionic peak]

[ashen cairn]

yeah i plugged everything into their respective slots

[left dove]

did you mount the motherboard correctly

[ashen cairn]

except for my case fans i plugged them into SATA power for some reason

[left dove]

did you use the correct amount of standoffs

[ionic peak]

I put on hybrid

[ashen cairn]

[ashen cairn]

9 right

[left dove]

[left dove]

nah its ok

[ionic peak]

Dexter and cat

[left dove]

[ashen cairn]

the cable management is a clutterfunk but im js worried about the gpu

[ashen cairn]

rm850x with a 9060 xt and r5 9600x yes i know overkill but i plan to upgrade

[left dove]

maybe send a pic or two of the inside of the chassis so I can get an overview of what's going on
