[left dove]

dude these aren't gen-1 oleds

[dawn sable]

i leave my lcd monitor on for hours on end and it doesn’t care 💪

[dusty gorge]

yeah but the fact you still have to hide the taskbar means the problem exists

[buoyant bridge]

THX means nothing.

[left dove]

the "problem" does not outweigh the color performance you gain

[dusty gorge]

I take your point

[dawn sable]

yeah that’s a valid conclusion but an opinion

[dusty gorge]

My only counter is that my ips brain has never known better, so why risk it lol

[buoyant bridge]

My Chevys have a "Chevrolet" audio system my GMCs have a "Bose" audio system they're identical everything is the exact same. THX, Bose, Harmon Kardon, Atmos, and Dolby all mean NOTHING on products not made by those companies it genuinely just means that company tested it in one of their labs 99% of the time. Razor devices are no exception

[swift stream]

holy essay

[dusty gorge]

One last question I have for y'all though. How hard would it be to transport a 16" gaming laptop around? I'm used to a surface pro 7, but I want a dedicated laptop that I can take home with me on the holidays, but I'm a little nervous that it's going to be like hauling around a big ass tome

[buoyant bridge]

explained why they're literally right to say razor is junk

because razor is junk with a brand name on it

[left dove]

how tall are you

[dusty gorge]

bout 6'

[left dove]

get a bag meant for a 16" laptop and you'll be just fine

[dusty gorge]

sounds good haha

what are the odds this would fit a 16" laptop https://rendallco.com/products/lord-huron-way-out-there-backpack-field-tan

[swift stream]

V3 Pro showed slightly superior performance compared to other headsets, only underlying feature was mic eq

[rigid fjord]

i could probably fit a 16" laptop in that

[left dove]

I mainly rock osprey bags so I have no idea

[buoyant bridge]

what other headsets? My HD620s almost defo have better quality, also who actually uses the inbuilt mic I've NEVER met someone who does

[left dove]

I've got a duffel bag from white duck that I fucking love

[formal sonnet]

50/50; it either will or won't fit. You'd have to confirm it has a pouch / section large enough to fit the width, length, and thickness of your laptop. That said, it can likely fit a 16" laptop, assuming your laptop isn't an Alienware...

[distant frigate]

Imagine still using CFL’s

well ideally the laptop would be https://www.bestbuy.com/product/asus-tuf-gaming-f16-16-fhd-165hz-gaming-laptop-intel-core-i7-14650hx-32gb-ram-nvidia-geforce-rtx-5060-1tb-ssd-jaeger-gray/JJGGLH8LZ5

[left dove]

ando your autism is showing

[buoyant bridge]

Again who actually uses the inbuilt mic

[midnight wind]

LED fans :gigachad:

[buoyant bridge]

CFL lovers have never used a LED bulb that isn't the absolute bottom of the barrel

[distant frigate]

Yeah

CFL’s do not have great light quality. LED’s have better light quality

[buoyant bridge]

the thing is there's no bottom of the barrel CFLs around anymore unlike LEDs which you can certainly get cheap ones for

Ive got really cheap 150W equivalent LEDs in my kitchen lights rn cus they're painted fixtures so the bulb color doesn't matter and that cheap ass blue hue actually looks better in them imo cus instead of them being off white it makes them actually white when the globe is on

[distant frigate]

I think the closets in this home use CFL tubes but I’m not gonna bother replacing them

[midnight wind]

incandescent lovers need to see the light of a modern 95 cri 5000k bulb

[distant frigate]

It’s a closet lol

[buoyant bridge]

You can get fancy incandescent bulbs that have better light quality than LEDs still I think but they're not being sold at your local dollar store

[distant frigate]

Incandescent lightbulbs have excellent light quality but my problem with them is energy efficiency and longevity

[midnight wind]

I thought the entire selection of incandescent bulbs were restricted to just unfiltered black body radiation

[buoyant bridge]

ive seen stuff like the GE color pro bulbs at Lowe's before they're the best bulbs imo but I'm not shelling out $29 a bulb for incandescence

[distant frigate]

High brightness incandescent lasts for like 1,000 hours

[midnight wind]

why do we have designer incandescent bulbs

[buoyant bridge]

it's usually to do with shadows

[midnight wind]

Going to Lowes today so maybe I'll look

[buoyant bridge]

the fancy incandescent are always wide span bulbs

they've got dedicated rooms built to show off the color pro stuff you can see a difference with the shadows but it's not worth $29 a bulb

[distant frigate]

Warm White LED’s are the best. Especially for the bedrooms

[buoyant bridge]

but that's just because the bulbs cover a larger physical area

I'm sure LEDs can do the same for cheaper

[distant frigate]

For some areas I would do daylight LED’s

[buoyant bridge]

I'm surprised temperature variable fixtures haven't taken off yet

[midnight wind]

Maybe my Lowes is not fancy enough

I don't think we have rooms for that

[buoyant bridge]

I live near the largest Lowe's in my state so

[distant frigate]

Yeah

[buoyant bridge]

I put one in a bathroom for a friend recently they're pretty nice

[midnight wind]

The only thing I see in the website is the "ge pro series" leds

[distant frigate]

I should’ve gotten nicer LED lightbulbs because some of them noticeably flicker occasionally

Haven’t had that happen as of recent but it does happen

[midnight wind]

What exactly does it do to the shadows

[buoyant bridge]

The might actually be LEDs

[midnight wind]

Does it make them more like parallel

[buoyant bridge]

Just less shadow cus the bulbs r larger

[distant frigate]

https://youtu.be/tbvVnOxb1AI?si=zvvctC3K0vlPDDpg

[buoyant bridge]

better solution is just have another fixture from another angle lol

[distant frigate]

These LED lightbulbs are actually good. Phillips lightbulbs

[buoyant bridge]

maybe it was Phillips who makes them?

Anything a incandescent can do REALISTICALLY an LED can too

[midnight wind]

I bought a lot of these but most of them failed after like 4 months

[buoyant bridge]

I had some in my house at one point yeah they fail quicker in enclosed fixtures

ive got a few in my basement still

[midnight wind]

They weren't even enclosed inmmy bedroom

[distant frigate]

Yeah. I don’t think many LED’s are manufactured as good as they should be

[midnight wind]

Wide open fixtures connected to fan

[distant frigate]

LED’s can genuinely last for a very long time but cheap LED lightbulbs usually don’t

[buoyant bridge]

it's mostly just a case of buying the very cheap ones vs going to a hardware store and buying brand name ones

there's shitty brand name ones too though

[distant frigate]

True

[midnight wind]

I think its just the power control circuitry failing rather than the actual LED diodes

[buoyant bridge]

I always try to stick with GE products for non smart bulbs and TP link for smart bulbs that's what I've had good experience with when I have a building that needs 400+ bulbs (technically it's only 31 screw in bulbs the rest are CFLs that have LED replacements in them)

[distant frigate]

I think that too

[midnight wind]

I also got some feit electric bulbs from Costco which have started flickering after a few months as well

[buoyant bridge]

I literally just won't buy bulbs from anywhere but hardware stores, they've been the best in my experience

[midnight wind]

Meanwhile some old random LEDs we had before were there for like 10 years on the same fixtrue

[swift stream]

its a two in one deal

[buoyant bridge]

Ive seen bulbs outlast the fixtures before

[midnight wind]

bring them back

[distant frigate]

These LED lightbulbs are good though in my experience

Maybe the bigger design helps it dissipate heat better

[midnight wind]

perhaps

[buoyant bridge]

We used to have a pull cord light in one of the loading docks and had the pull cord fail 2-3 times before the bulb did and it was cheaper to just buy a new fixture than a new pull cord

[buoyant bridge]

ive still never seen anyone at a PC using the inbuilt mic, consoles yeah but at a PC never

[distant frigate]

Love the recessed can lighting fixtures

[buoyant bridge]

my boyfriend did but he played games at my PC setup with the HD620s and a Blue yeti and ended up getting a blue yeti

[wooden pasture]

https://pt.pcpartpicker.com/list/PnMzBq hey guys this a build i set up for a friend whos also does interior design the only two program she uses for it its twinmotion and sketchup, and she also wants to play videogames in it does soemone know what i could change here to be at the 1000 price point?

[distant frigate]

My moms bedroom lamps

Not the most fancy but it’s alright

[wooden pasture]

@rigid fjord could you give your special rauko touch on that build ?

[buoyant bridge]

I have never considered summoning rauko for anything

[wooden pasture]

rauko is the OG i try not to bore him

he allways has the special rauko mindset if he says its good like that it will be good like that

kinky

[carmine yew]

Neither

[left dove]

too many sharp angles

[azure topaz]

@frigid blade

all boards today are daisy chain, ignore t top

[frigid blade]

I already plugged them both in

[crude phoenix]

Doesnt really answer my question ;-;

[frigid blade]

Installing the AIO rn

[azure topaz]

T Top gains memory signal integrity with 4 sticks while Daisy chain loses it

which is why 4 sticks is generally worse

[peak swan]

This shit hits different
Also Huawei ecosystem is nuts

[left dove]

MEH

[azure topaz]

4 slots also means you have 2 extra slots always picking up signals in your computer

[carmine yew]

As long as they have the i/o you need and support the cpu, you're fine

[frigid blade]

Ah you’re talking RAM

[azure topaz]

other slots

[peak swan]

Wat

[azure topaz]

this is what asus nitro path fixes

[frigid blade]

I’m only running 2 dimms rn is 1/3 ok?

[azure topaz]

yes

[frigid blade]

They’re a different kit while I get the system running

[crude phoenix]

i see i js wanted to know bc i got the b365m for free and i obv want the most fps possible

[azure topaz]

do 2/4 tho lol

[azure topaz]

your board should say “first” on the slot labels

[wooden pasture]

cable manage left the chat

[frigid blade]

It’s not even plugged in yet

[carmine yew]

Motherboard has almost no bearing on fps

[hexed tapir]

https://pt.pcpartpicker.com/list/z24H6Q can they spend a extra €65?

[azure topaz]

explained good?

[craggy cove]

dented psu + aliexpress cable extensions

[frigid blade]

Yah says the 4th slot is first

[craggy cove]

what can go wrong

[wooden pasture]

it should be like 1000 not above xd, cant you put your special ram you mentioned last time HAHAHA

[azure topaz]

so 2/4 then

[swift moss]

Weird QoL deicison but ok

[hexed tapir]

The one you posted is 1250 teehee

[wooden pasture]

haa, but u only changed the cpu and added a cooler? doesnt the intel cpu also bring a cooler ?

[hexed tapir]

And the 5070

And a different case to save €40 on buying fans

[wooden pasture]

so she doesnt need the extra cooler right ? in my opinion

hoo yes but the case brings fans NICE

wait inst the 5070 too big for the case lmao

[crude phoenix]

i5-8600k vs i7-9700f

[hexed tapir]

For a Intel K series CPU you do for the ryzen you posted no

[wooden pasture]

ha yes i checked doesnt bring a cooler included in the cpu

well lets hope the cooler fits xd and the gpu as well

maybe we could just downgrade the gpu ?

to be more close to the 1000 maybe a rx 9060?

like this perhaps https://pt.pcpartpicker.com/list/Tmj6TM

[peak swan]

Why did they make it show on that screen
So weird
Also that case is weird

[swift moss]

Pretty chill case

[hexed tapir]

https://pt.pcpartpicker.com/list/mWdyv4 998 a few changes and no hdd

[peak swan]

Well it looks weird ig

[wooden pasture]

lovely

no hdd she can add later

[craggy cove]

bent the shit out of this usb 2.0 to type c motherboard adapter but it still works

goated product

[azure topaz]

no just don’t put an hdd in

1tb of ssd storage is good

[frigid blade]

Dawg

[azure topaz]

do you have a fast computer yrt

[peak swan]

I almost killed my main phone screen by bending the shit out 9f the fpc connector
I somehow survived, but 1 pin is missing

[frigid blade]

Doing AIO cables rn

Gotta look it up cuz there’s more than one

[craggy cove]

isnt that a flex cableish

[hexed tapir]

For a extra €75 the 5060ti 16gb will work better for twinmotion https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/nvidia-5060-ti-vs-amd-9060-xt-for-content-creation/

[craggy cove]

they do that or they just break when you breathe on them

[azure topaz]

tiiine

[frigid blade]

Oops I installed the AIO wrong side I think

Does the liquid tube go right or left side

[grizzled frost]

doesn’t matter

[swift stream]

it also has magnetic side plates for customization

[empty quartz]

Do i keep the Hx1200 in my main, and put an hx1200i in the workstation, or vice versa

What would cause unzipping a zip file on my computer take approx 3 min, while on my gf laptop it took 20+ minutes, calculating for a whole freaking day?! It's 2.84GB, zipped it myself and sent it over Limewire to her computer. Both times the unzipping was only on a internal Nvme and internal SSD(Hers)

[midnight wind]

Windows

[dusk patio]

CPU? idk

[wispy crypt]

For crying out loud I just want to play modded Anno 1800, but all mods doesn't get installed when downloading them from the internal browser💀

[dawn sable]

i just wish most boards shipped with 2 by default

[swift moss]

u usually want a new kit if you want more ram anyway

[forest wyvern]

I have a question for folks. VMWare or VirtualBox. I am on Windows and plan on using the VMs for recording Remote Desktop screens, CCTV via OBS and of course streaming Desktop Screens and CCTV for work and want to know if I need to go with VMWare for that or can I use virtual box.

I plan on doing multiple recordings at once and I already use VMWare but just had to reformat my computer and do a fresh reinstall of Windows.

Now running Windows 10 LTSC IoT and no regrets.

[tired bear]

use hyperv

[forest wyvern]

Any specific reason? I like hyperv but not the best for spoofing a virtual machine for side projects I do.

At least that’s what I remember.

As I call scammers occasionally so I need something secure too where I’m less likely to experience a VM escape.

[tired bear]

hyperv is type 1 hypervisor, virtualbox or i assume vmware workstation is type 2

[forest wyvern]

Ah got it.

[tired bear]

you want easy disposable virtual machines?
enable windows sandbox

[forest wyvern]

Not disposable, I plan on having snapshots, fake bank etc.

[tired bear]

wdym by fake bank

[forest wyvern]

Bank account that is fake and locally hosted

[tired bear]

just an website?

[forest wyvern]

That seems like a real bank like what KitBoga has

[tired bear]

you could host that in a separate virtual machine

[forest wyvern]

It’s got its own installer that’s meant for running on the VM you’re scambaiting off of. It hasn’t been tested via a separate VM and I’d need to see if it would work.

As you need the chrome extension and to modify the host files too.

[tired bear]

i have made a sandbox that automatically installs tools like that by running a powershell script on startup

[forest wyvern]

Better to have a snapshot ready

The main reason I am looking at potentially switching is; I really love VMWare (everyone I know within the space uses it) however I had an experience where I thought my host was compromised and may of been, it was weird no traces yet I saw my mouse move and programs minimise and my Parsec has 2FA and moonlight is local. So I am just being extra cautious.

Il look at hyper v

I remember trying it and not having the best experience.

[tired bear]

hyperv is really powerfull if you know how to set it up

[forest wyvern]

Ah.

[tired bear]

do you have amd or nvidia gpu

[forest wyvern]

NVidia but I want to avoid passthru

[tired bear]

no need, you can do vgpu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLLcc29EZ_8
sandbox has vgpu on by default

[forest wyvern]

Will that provide any extra security risks compared to 3D acceleration in VMWare.

[tired bear]

not that i am avare of
vgpu is enterprise technology

[forest wyvern]

Keep in mind I am not crazy technical, I know enough to get me by and do more advanced things but nothing crazy.

[frigid blade]

It’s ready

[forest wyvern]

I just have friends who can do the more technical side of if I need it haha

[frigid blade]

Well actually I’m still waiting now to buy the 20 HDDs and the case fans

But I can test it now Yipee

[tired bear]

watch the vid, it has step by step instructions

[forest wyvern]

I seen an LTT video on it before.

and I believe I did try it in the past. I will, I like craft computing even if I am not much of an IPA person.

[fierce breach]

I was running a big HyperV cluster last year for my last employer. Man HyperV is weird asf

[frigid blade]

Longest 2 hours I’ve ever had

[fierce breach]

Powerful yes but a headache too

[untold hornet]

Explaining to my buddy what these pins were for

[tired bear]

idk, it has been perfectly behaving on my pc but it is a "lite" version of what you get on windows server

[tired bear]

its for cia to do data recovery

[fierce breach]

What?

Hyper-V IS what you get on Windows Server

[west arrow]

Are GPU fans supposed to spin up even without any gpu calculations needed?

[fierce breach]

Starting with W11 your OS is virtualized by default and it uses Hyper-V as a backend. I assume that's what you're referring to

[fierce breach]

Most cards have the fans always on

[tired bear]

hyper v on windows servers have more features than hyperv on windows pro

[west arrow]

Ok ty

[fierce breach]

Oh does W11 Pro have Hyper-V for actual VMs built in? Or are you just talking about the virtualization security

[tired bear]

ya

[fierce breach]

I've never really messed with VMs outside of servers, and when I do Virtualbox is typically sufficient

[fierce breach]

Interesting, on the surface looks like it has all the same features. Does it support replication?

[peak swan]

Yeah, connector at the end of it is what i almost absolutely fked

[tired bear]

i have ran into few things like gpu passthrough which are only avalibile on windows server, never used replication so idk

[fierce breach]

Oh yeah true I forgot gpu support is like server 2022 and up

Which is weird because there are ways to pass through other PCIe devices, feels like an artificial limitation

[tired bear]

it is most likely

i even have highest tier win 11 pro licence

[fierce breach]

Oh thats probably why you have Hyper-V

[tired bear]

only home doesent have it

[fierce breach]

Workstation edition is BASICALLY Windows Server, pretty sure it even has server manager built in

[tired bear]

no, its windows with RDMA support haha

[fierce breach]

Wait is that really the only difference

[tired bear]

also refs

[fierce breach]

Damn

Well glad I'm not a software guy too much to keep track of

I know the basics of managing and deploying, anything I don't know I google

[tired bear]

it also supports like 6tb of ram

[frigid blade]

Oh that’s so weird when you use the boot menu to select what to boot to, the system restarts then it boots into it

Instead of booting directly into it

Oh god this hard drive is slow af

[tired bear]

smells like bios setting

[frigid blade]

Maybe it just couldn’t boot to it nvm, it’s booting into the drive windows install instead of the usb I selected

Yah I see the windows 10 loading symbol yuck

[tired bear]

boot priorities

[frigid blade]

I manually selected

Ok, now I see the windows 11 loading symbol, I guess the USB was just inserted weird or something

[tired bear]

wouldnt be the first time windows installer put a bootloader on a wrong drive

[wooden pasture]

its a bit more then 75 tbh but i think the diff cant be that big right ?

[hexed tapir]

Not sure in that specific application but in the pudget review between the two it was a massive difference

For production apps

[hexed tapir]

can anyone which ones are reverse blade and which are standard. I thought I had 7 reverse blade and 3 normal but I may be wrong

fuck you best buy

good deal tho so maybe not, $320 (after taxes) for 1440p 240hz oled

[sleek remnant]

[frigid blade]

yah its better than mine 😢

[sleek remnant]

well no need to compare, i mean idk

i have zowie XL2411K

thats basically what i have now

i think i have larger display size but same specs

[tulip grotto]

my gpu doesnt feel like its giving more fps at all

what do I do?

I just installed it brand new earlier today

[frigid blade]

are you actually using the GPU?

[tulip grotto]

Can you give context?

Info?

I dont understand it

i know what your saying but not exactly

[ocean axle]

doesnt feel like, or isn't?

[tulip grotto]

I mean it feels like some of my performance decreased

[ocean axle]

the former could just be you being monitor limited
the latter, could be CPU limit (or game settings)

[tulip grotto]

warzone did

[sleek remnant]

its still fine tho

roblox isn't going to be GPU bound, so thats useless

[tulip grotto]

ok

cod?

[ocean axle]

probably would be, unless you are playing at 720p low

[tulip grotto]

Idk could you hop on a vc with me and help me?

My Second Gpu and I havent had a gpu for a full year yet

[sleek remnant]

more specific GPU

[ocean axle]

ill help in chat, but thats it

what GPU did you have previously, what did you upgrade to?
what CPU do you have?

[tulip grotto]

before, MSI 3050 rtx,

now... gigabyte 5050 rtx

[sleek remnant]

uhhh, have you used DDU? idk

[ocean axle]

both are the same driver package, no need

make sure you aren't CPU bound, and use an FPS counter

[carmine yew]

That's not much of an upgrade

[south arrow]

Lol we did this earlier xD

[ocean axle]

but also, ^

[sleek remnant]

ouch

[tulip grotto]

this is my first pc

[carmine yew]

It's not, so expecting a big change is asking for trouble

[ocean axle]

its not the absolute being commented on, its the relative difference

[sleek remnant]

true

[carmine yew]

Going from a 3050 to a 5050 might net 10% improvement. Might.

So 100 fps >> 110fps.

An improvement? Yes.
Hugely noticeable? Not really.

[tulip grotto]

ok

so how do i fix it

[carmine yew]

So unless you get some benchmark numbers, it's going to be hard to troubleshoot

[tulip grotto]

ok

[ocean axle]

you buy a GPU thats actually an upgrade

[south arrow]

Yeep

[carmine yew]

Can you return the 5050?

[tulip grotto]

i ordered it off amaazon 😥

[ocean axle]

then the answer is yes

[carmine yew]

Amazon accepts returns

[ocean axle]

you can, amazon takes returns

[carmine yew]

Return it and save for a better gpu

I'd start at a 5060 TI 16gb

[tulip grotto]

i have a z87-plus

[carmine yew]

4th gen cpu?

[tulip grotto]

ye

[carmine yew]

Jesus fuck, save for a platform that's less than 10 years old

Keep the 3050

[ocean axle]

just for you, ima put my 9070xt on one of my g3258 boards

[formal sonnet]

Excellent! Amazon allows returns in most cases, so you can return it if necessary.

[tulip grotto]

YEAH IF NECESSARY

[carmine yew]

For nearly any reason

[ocean axle]

including "changed my mind"

[south arrow]

[carmine yew]

Including "it doesn't work right with my pc"

[south arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-blep-gif-27395371

[carmine yew]

So return it and keep the 3050

Your pc absolutely doesn't need more gpu

[frigid blade]

4th gen cpu with a 5050, holy bottleneck

[south arrow]

I dont normally like that word but for this instance ill allow it

[ocean axle]

ive done worse

[buoyant isle]

Hello, I have a rtx 3060 and I moved my pc and not can't get signel, after putting it into my other pc I can get a screen however in both system the gpu doesnt show up in either deivce manager. any ideas?

[gilded sparrow]

Can you clarify

like your not getting display from ur gpu

[buoyant isle]

Correct

[gilded sparrow]

ok i can walk you through some trouble shooting

[buoyant isle]

If I moved the hdmi into the motherboard I can

[buoyant isle]

Okay please! 🙂

[gilded sparrow]

Ok u can get diaplay from ur motherboard bc thats not ur gpu is ur cpu

[buoyant isle]

Understood

[gilded sparrow]

so u said ur computer isnt picking up ur gpu

like won't even show up

[buoyant isle]

Not that I can tell, the whole system was just working after we moved it. It stopped, Correct I Niveda wont even start anymore.

[civic ferry]

how to fix ssd doing this

[gilded sparrow]

ok i want you to take ur gpu out and inspect the pcie connector for any scratches or cuts or damage

[buoyant isle]

Already done, did not see anything!

[steel umbra]

It will for sure reduce careers for musicians looking for some cash

[gilded sparrow]

Ok go with ur onboard graphics to ur bios and just confirm that ur pc isnt seeing ur gpu.

[steel umbra]

i'm sorry for the artists but it's mostly just entertainment

[gilded sparrow]

how long have u had it

[buoyant isle]

Okay Im not good with bois what am i looking for once in

[gilded sparrow]

it should list your parts just look for ur gpu name in your bios

[ivory mountain]

AI is doing more harm than good for everything

[steel umbra]

It is environmentally damaging

[gilded sparrow]

Idk sora kinda funny

[steel umbra]

i specially hate when AI companies market themselves as green

Do you have a pic of what it should loook like?

https://tenor.com/view/baby-tuff-son-im-crine-gif-7690159340150630748

[ivory mountain]

facts

[gilded sparrow]

Just look up a yt tutorial on how to find ur gpu in bios

@buoyant isle u dont need to change any settings u just meed to see if its there

this will determine wether this a software or hardware issue

[boreal scroll]

Will a bios meant for a ryzen 9 still work for a 7800x3d

[south arrow]

What motherboard do you have?

[formal sonnet]

Your motherboard manufacturer's website will tell you. 🙂 Always check the manufacturer's website.

[south arrow]

Cpu compatability comes from specific bios revisions of said motherboard

[boreal scroll]

Msi b650 tomohawk wifi

[south arrow]

https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/MAG-B650-Tomahawk-Wifi/support

[gilded sparrow]

if ita on the same socket 9 times out of 10 it will be backwards compatible

[buoyant isle]

Still trying to get into bois lol one min

[south arrow]

If upon opening bios note your revision number and compare it to where its at on the list

[gilded sparrow]

and the differences between 9000 series and 7000 really isnt all that much for it not to be compatible

[gilded sparrow]

do u know how

[south arrow]

If its older then a adds support for x cpu revision an update may be needed

[gilded sparrow]

they talking about backwards compatibility

[buoyant isle]

Yeah hold del but its just giving blank screen

[gilded sparrow]

uhhhhhhhh

[formal sonnet]

So long as your motherboard is running 7D75v13 or newer, you're good to use a 7800x3d processor.

[gilded sparrow]

That might be a mobo issues

[south arrow]

What is clear cmos for 200 on the board

[novel grove]

hmm, can someone explain to me whats happening? the green things

[gilded sparrow]

hes having gou no display issue I dont think cmos will help

[south arrow]

It will if everything's attached appropriately

❤️

[gilded sparrow]

hes tried in a different system

no display

[south arrow]

I'd need a pic of the mobo to check code/error light

First few minutes itll re memory train either system should need a clear cmos

[boreal scroll]

Im having issues where its suddenly not detecting the cpu after a year of the computer working fine. So in the event a clear cmos doesnt work im trying to figure out which bios id need to download

[gilded sparrow]

My theory is smth power related went through is mobo and killed his gpu and board

[gilded sparrow]

if. Your board is on the most recent version of its bios it should support ryzen 7000 series

u shouldn't need to go down

[boreal scroll]

The bios should be whatever was on the motherboard in june 2024, because thats whe. I bought it

[south arrow]

The latest

[buoyant isle]

mb doesnt have any lights just boots up into windows but if i try to enter bois it just goes blank

[south arrow]

Boots to windows but not to bios o_0 , got me on that one other then clear cmos cause somethings unstable

[buoyant isle]

Correct

[gilded sparrow]

yeah then go to the brands mobo pahe find the most recent update (most motherboard manufacturers have an app to update ur bios) download and follow a tutorial on updating

[cold skiff]

So basically it POSTs and you aren’t spamming DEL for BIOS.

[south arrow]

Kirashi or anyone feel free

[cold skiff]

Try F12 on boot instead of DEL

And enter that way

[gilded sparrow]

@boreal scroll what board do u have with brand

[boreal scroll]

God removing the cmos battery on an msi motherboard is such a pain in the ass

[boreal scroll]

Msi b650 tomohawk wifi

7800x3d for cpu

[cold skiff]

MSi is awful imo

[gilded sparrow]

msi should have an app to update ur motherboard so thats easy for ya

[gilded sparrow]

better than gigabyte

[cold skiff]

Have we done a BIOS flash?

Gigabyte way better tbfh

I don’t get it. MSi products are literal trash these days

[gilded sparrow]

msi software> gigabyte , gigabyte hardware> MSI

[boreal scroll]

Yeah the issue is that i cant get into the computer, it wont post at all

[cold skiff]

You’re saying this as an msi won’t boot.

Into bios….

[south arrow]

My only qualm is they list a bunch of frequency and "levels" that absolutely dont work xD

[cold skiff]

It POSTs if you go to windows. You should have qflash.

[gilded sparrow]

Cmos if not look a tutorial on how to flash a bios its pretty easy once you do it the first time

[south arrow]

But its ok to have prefrences

[buoyant isle]

No I am trying to spam del its super weird It will post into widnows just not bois

[cold skiff]

If you can’t access a bios, but you can windows. You just flash another bios

[boreal scroll]

It doesnt do that, just sits in a blank screen with fans spinning ar max forever

[buoyant isle]

Wym?

[south arrow]

Who's system is this i got lost somewhere

[cold skiff]

Okay so I’ve read above it goes to windows but not bios. Then I’ve got it doesn’t POST at all.

[boreal scroll]

Yeah im confused as well

[south arrow]

One at a time gents

[cold skiff]

Clear cmos. If this does not work. Flash another bios. Logical step for whoever’s rig this is 😂

[south arrow]

Binky and menace together?

Working on the same board right?

Or do we have 2 people at the same time that bios wont open but windows does

[buoyant isle]

Okay lets start fresh I believe I have a gpu issue I moved the pc and now get no signal from gpu only mb im trying to enter bois to see if the gpu is even being rezinized. But bois wont show it will just go blank, if you let the system just start and not push anything she will boot into windows!

[cold skiff]

What’s the motherboard?

[tawny fossil]

My humble setup

[buoyant isle]

msi z590 pro wifi

[cold skiff]

And I assume menace you’ve looked at device manager?

[tawny fossil]

Cost me less than 500$

[buoyant isle]

Correct

[south arrow]

Ok so 2 diffrent motherboards, 2 diffrent issues lol

[cold skiff]

I also assume correct PCIe cables in gpu and fans spin

[buoyant isle]

yes

[south arrow]

Ill check if binky has a bios flash button

[cold skiff]

And both boards are so shit they don’t have qflash. RIP the tomahawk

[south arrow]

Frigging barnacles

[cold skiff]

@buoyant isle start a tech support thread on how to flash your bios and ask for step by step.

[cold skiff]

In theory that should fix it once done

[boreal scroll]

Yes, that didnt fix it

[south arrow]

@boreal scroll you can download the latest bios, unzip it then put it on a flash drive rename it if needed then put it in the bios slot and hit the button

Id retry if your bios is blank

[tawny fossil]

Can y'all rate my setup fr

[south arrow]

Has to be in slot 3 as shown the bios usb will take about 5-10 minutes. Id wait 10 before booting with the usb still in (be sure its just the extracted file)

[cold skiff]

Shite. Next.

[grizzled frost]

2.7/11

[hexed tapir]

If it's a 2 in one PC and tv I would get a 32" 4k that supports dolby vision they are $$ at 700-900

[boreal scroll]

Yeah my current order of operations is to remove cmos battery, because im not sure if i did the clear cmos by bridging contacts right, then if that doesnt work configure a new bios

[south arrow]

Sounds good, just get at an angle it should pop out at you

[cold skiff]

Just lifting the battery is always easiest tbh

[hexed tapir]

7/10 pros dual monitor and PC isn't on dusty dirt ground but the desk is really killing the score

[south arrow]

Some have lil tabs gotta press a bit

[tawny fossil]

I need a new desk so I can do cable management fr

I'm going to upgrade the PC first tho

[hexed tapir]

Keep an eye out on local markets like Facebook marketplace for a good cheap deak

[tawny fossil]

Rtx 3050 6gb to 5700xt 8gb
12100f to 12400f
A Decent power supply
a good looking cooler

[boreal scroll]

Not possible on an msi board. This thing has a little plastic insert that you need to remove before you can get at the cmos battery

[hexed tapir]

Oh you got the stinkiest version of the 3050 😭

[tawny fossil]

I paid 300$

[cold skiff]

You push it from inside to out and it pops it out

[tawny fossil]

For the whole bulid........

[cold skiff]

You said 500 in tc2

[tawny fossil]

A 512gb nvme

[cold skiff]

Are you drunk or something

[tawny fossil]

That's for the whole setup

[south arrow]

Also dropping this gem https://download.msi.com/archive/mnu_exe/mb/MAGB650TOMAHAWKWIFI.pdf

[random gyro]

hello worm

i see you over here too

[south arrow]

Alittle everywhere

[tawny fossil]

Also planning on getting a nice deskmat

My internet so trash I'm just downloading CSGO and even browsing Amazon feels sluggish

[cold skiff]

That’s possibly because you have a 12100f

[tawny fossil]

I'm using my phone to browse Amazon

The CSGO download is taking up nearly all of my download speed

So brutal

12100f preforms fine surprisingly despite having only 4 cores.

[cold skiff]

Oddly if I download at my full capacity on my pc I never have issues with other devices

[tawny fossil]

They're quite strong ones

[hexed tapir]

I upgraded from my 5700xt just a few weeks ago i had it for nearly 6 years. In new games you'll be playing at low settings to reach 100fps+

[cold skiff]

Did you just quote yourself? You are drunk, right?

[tawny fossil]

Because your internet Connection isnt 70mbps

[tawny fossil]

Maybe save up and get 6700xt ?

[boreal scroll]

What annoys me about the manual is that it tells you to use a tool that the motherboard doesnt come with

[tawny fossil]

5700xt is a 20$ difference

between it and 3050 6gb

[arctic furnace]

anyone know how to fix this? i tried clearing download cash then switching to beta and nothing....

[cold skiff]

SFF pc?

[tawny fossil]

I will probably just wait and get a 6700xt I want to play most games at high 120fps because my monitor is only 120hz

[cold skiff]

You’re using a 12100f. There’s not a lot of games that will do 120fps high.

[tawny fossil]

I don't want to get less than 90 in any game at med/medhigh

[hexed tapir]

rx 6700 10gb or 6700xt will be good and last a bit longer

[hexed tapir]

Full fat atx bb

[tawny fossil]

Yeah Rx 6700xt 12gb+12400f should be good for the next 3 years

[cold skiff]

Fair. You’ve chugged on with that like a troopa

[tawny fossil]

+512gb nvme

[tawny fossil]

Stop underestimating the 12100f

[hexed tapir]

In battlefield 6 I was at mostly low settings to reach 100-130fps at 1080p with a better cpu 5700x3d

[sleek ibex]

[tawny fossil]

12400f+6700xt 12gb it is

I can't get a 13th or 14th gen CPU because I don't know if the shitty motherboard will support it

[cold skiff]

You just need to check on the motherboard manufacturers website

[tawny fossil]

I do know that the 12400f is supported and it is like a 40$ upgrade

[hexed tapir]

Arc B580 is the same price as a used 6700xt and out performs it

[sleek ibex]

I don't see why it wouldn't support a 12400f

[cold skiff]

Although you have been saying how great the 12100f is I am surprised you’re going to upgrade

May aswell slap a 14900ks in there and tell us how you barely see a difference

[tawny fossil]

Yeah that's not helping much

[south arrow]

What gpu? Also clear cmos should re grab basic display adapter just in case and then checking adrenaline or nvidias app for the latest driver.but if it boots to windows its working just maybe not perfectly

[tawny fossil]

Doesn't say a thing about generational support

[cold skiff]

You go to a support page, check cpu list.

[hexed tapir]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/zyyH99/intel-core-i5-14600kf-35-ghz-14-core-processor-bx8071514600kf damn out of stock it was $165 amazing value for gaming

Who the hell is arktek

[tawny fossil]

Arktek H610M EG Motherboard (LGA1700, H610 Chipset, Micro-ATX) – Matrix Warehouse Computers (PTY) Ltd https://matrixwarehouse.co.za/products/arktek-h610m-eg-motherboard-lga1700-h610-chipset-micro-atx?srsltid=AfmBOoq_yeH5SCy78OJUPsyHpErj7g-lhnb1l6zVkuLJPc461OJPDCFq this south African company says it supports 14th gen

Another company that sells it here in my country says it supports 13th gen

[cold skiff]

You’ve literally bought the most bottom basement components

[tawny fossil]

Might go to a local shop that has used 14th gen processors and ask them to test one on that motherboard for me

[tawny fossil]

300$ is 300$

[cold skiff]

You’ve not even got vrm heatsinks. I’d be curious to see and probaly wager a 12400f will be bottlenecked by them

[south arrow]

At walmart should still have them saw some earlier

[hexed tapir]

Low end boards like this can limit performance of higher end cpus even ones like the i5 13600k

[tawny fossil]

Eh I know people running 12400fs on it just fine

[cold skiff]

“Just fine”

80% potential because of shite quality vrms and no cooling of them is not just fine

Like I’d rather have the $300 than trash I have to replace all of

[tawny fossil]

I want to get like a 12400f 13400f or 14400f

[tawny fossil]

It might be trash to you but its what I can afford.

[cold skiff]

Like coopa says the x600k will throttle

Would be interested to see if and how hard a 400f throttled

[hexed tapir]

I would have a dedicated fan blowing on the vrms for even a 13400/1440f 😆

[tawny fossil]

It's better than nothing

[tawny fossil]

Ahh so I sell the CPU motherboard and ram and switch to am5 is what your telling me

[hexed tapir]

13400f is basically a locked 12600k

[hexed tapir]

With the RAM market that's not realistic

[tawny fossil]

Am5 motherboards are now cheap and abundant 8400f is cheap ram is not unfortunately

[cold skiff]

You came here for validation. Why you salty now?

Yknow you can buy used AM4 builds that are better than this for the price.

[tawny fossil]

I'm not salty ?

[hexed tapir]

32gb of basic good ram is $300 now for ddr5

[tawny fossil]

Couldn't find any they all had 1650s at my price range

3050>1650

[sleek ibex]

This is definitely the worst time to switch to DDR5 given the state of the DIY market

[cold skiff]

Coopa that’s the cheap end 😭😬😂

It’s cheaper to upgrade a 1650 than the entire motherboard and cpu on what you’re got

[hexed tapir]

Cl30 6000 32gb is $300

[cold skiff]

And AM4 is not dead platform

[tawny fossil]

It is

@hexed tapir would you recommend I get a 12400f

[hexed tapir]

It got new cpus this year

[cold skiff]

A shit ram kit is £300, which is like $450 when I convert so… you’ve actually got a great deal there

[brazen hemlock]

and 8th gen is not old either XD

[hexed tapir]

If it's under $120 sure

[stark mantle]

hi does anyone know if updating the bios clears TPM?

[cold skiff]

Yes

Found that out myself yesterday. Didn’t have time to look further into it

Let me know before I’m home from work tonight and have to sort it how you got on

[stark mantle]

how did u solve the windows pin not available

[cold skiff]

Pin? I just did another pin

[brazen hemlock]

love how the industrie had put a devide in us /s, i guess its broke geeks vs well off nerds again

[cold skiff]

I’m not sure if it used my old proton tfpm profile is my issue and need to look into it later tbh

Never done secure boot before so new to me

[sleek ibex]

AM4 being a decade old next year is wild

[tawny fossil]

I mean when factoring in my old CPU any CPU is going to be under 120$ I get

[cold skiff]

Being broke is fine.

Making poor decisions on really bad hardware, is not.

[boreal scroll]

I REMOVED THE CMOS BATTERY good god that was annoying

[hexed tapir]

What I was referring to when saying low end boards limit performance

[brazen hemlock]

who says what is 'good decision on hardware' no-one has the authority lol

[stark mantle]

once i turn off tpm for bios udate i get the windows pin not available pproblem but it does it let u make a new pin after signing into microsoft acount?

[tawny fossil]

So 12400f+b660 ?

[brazen hemlock]

guess im just team bang-for-your-buck

[cold skiff]

You’re now going to upgrade a dead platform?

[hexed tapir]

12400f+ a fan blowing on your current mobo vrms

[cold skiff]

Why the fuck ya even buy this

[brazen hemlock]

just never let it die on its own, thats when it gets wacko 🤣

[tawny fossil]

But 13400f is a 10-20$ difference

[hexed tapir]

FFS I'm getting old

[cold skiff]

I’m too old. I’m actually kind of glad I don’t know the ages of people here. I may not be the oldest but I’d probably be one of

[hexed tapir]

13400f + mini vrm heatsinks and fan blowing on it

[tawny fossil]

I get money bit by bit so I plan to upgrade one component at a time

[hexed tapir]

I'm 25 are you over or under

[cold skiff]

Christ

[brazen hemlock]

you're near what 24? thats not old lol

[stark mantle]

is there a way to not have signin pin just for my peace of mind?

[cold skiff]

25? 😭

[random gyro]

yea you're not old, 50 is old

[brazen hemlock]

80 is old

[tawny fossil]

These ?

[cold skiff]

Tbh 50 is old to me but in tech terms, being 37 on the internet now is what the kids call unc

[hexed tapir]

Yeah

[hexed tapir]

Papa?

[cold skiff]

If I told my kid I used floppy disks to play doom he’d think I was a wizard

[brazen hemlock]

50 is when poeple have a midlife chrisis guys, or you just don't expect to live long....

[hexed tapir]

You 3d printed the save icon?

[cold skiff]

Watching your kids grow up does this

[tawny fossil]

How do I get heatsinks to stick tho

[brazen hemlock]

not living to the fullest too.

[cold skiff]

Teflon and superglue

[hexed tapir]

Some have thermal adhesive

[sleek ibex]

I have built rigs that predates some folks here (like parts that were new-new)

[tawny fossil]

Are you sure with thermal pad they're gonna stick

[cold skiff]

Motherboard manufacturers normally use clips /screws and thermal pads

[hexed tapir]

Thermal adhesive or I saw thermal glue too

[brazen hemlock]

the xbone and its brackets: am i a joke to you?

[south arrow]

Plastic clamps are calling from the early 2000s

[cold skiff]

You just gotta rely on pads

[random gyro]

gorilla glue

[cold skiff]

I do not understand this so I may just say… yes… because I’m that kind of guy.

[south arrow]

All keks aside the adhesive of paste/pads if pressed in firmly enough should do ya

[cold skiff]

Just don’t whack the board

I used them in the early 00s. They stick fine

[tawny fossil]

Alright so I get this kind chuck them on the vrms and get a 13400f and hope for the best

[random gyro]

back in our day

[cold skiff]

At this point you’d be better off buying another build

[tawny fossil]

And also new CPU cooler because intel stock cooler is proper gobshite

[cold skiff]

Skitz also born late 80s?

[brazen hemlock]

the og xbox and 360 had some weird heatsinc fixtures but relyable

[cold skiff]

360 was fine except for the drive

[random gyro]

such a dumb dad joke lmao

[south arrow]

XD

[random gyro]

what you created water too

[hexed tapir]

That's his job. He's a dad

[cold skiff]

Ad jokes are not dumb. They’re the best

When you’re a dad… that’s when you realise it

[random gyro]

alr come on now

[random gyro]

[south arrow]

Nah waters always been there cant take credit in that one

[random gyro]

what about the typewriter

or the lightbulb

[brazen hemlock]

realisticly we, knew a world without cellphones, other then that we are just zoomer lmao

[south arrow]

Older then Edison/Tesla sorry

🦖

[cold skiff]

The worst thing about being older is seeing a weaker younger generation. I don’t train people at work anymore because I make them cry. Not even intentional, not being mean, I’m just showing them the work I do.

[random gyro]

dang you old

[random gyro]

yea the new generation are way too sensitive, it's quite sad. glad im not part of that shii hole

[hexed tapir]

I remember feeling old at 19 when a 5-7 year old asked me what this was

[distant frigate]

wtf apparently fiber optics can do to 500 km without an amplifier

[tawny fossil]

Yeah I will just sell my CPU and motherboard and get a 13400+ b760
Cost to upgrade will be less than a 100$ either way so it makes more sense

[distant frigate]

Just learned what ZR+ is in fiber optics

[cold skiff]

The last one I had cried, said she felt overwhelmed. She stayed and smashing it but boy. Some people get it easy until they join my place… and my place is the easiest I’ve been working at

[sleek ibex]

I haven't seen those in almost 20 years

[brazen hemlock]

they have war drones that leave a tread behind... so it needs too hold up on distance

[cold skiff]

These were when you knew the teacher didn’t know what they were talking about

[hexed tapir]

We used them up until 8th grade

[brazen hemlock]

i hate how it didn't get better...

[cold skiff]

Forget what they’re called but a lesson with that projector told you one thing. You’d be bored off ya tits

[random gyro]

don't have that last thing

[cold skiff]

We had blackboards in schools up until like 2012 in the uk tbh

That’s how backward we are

[sleek ibex]

Our school had computers still running mac os 8 despite it being a decade out of date that point

[brazen hemlock]

france too lmao

[hexed tapir]

I have never seen black boards at school always dry erase

[cold skiff]

Brilliant IT guys at schools

[sleek ibex]

My school had plenty of those

[cold skiff]

You never forget the sound of a blackboard… makes me wince even now

[random gyro]

i used windows 7 from 2010-2015, windows 10 from 2015-2021, windows 11 2021-2025. and some xp back then too

[sleek ibex]

I used 3.1

[hexed tapir]

Was it your job to de dust the erasers for it xD?

[brazen hemlock]

what nails? my sister brought it into the next gen on whiteboards 😆

[south arrow]

Chalk hitting the board

Monsuir prof clearly coming in hungover and dragging the chalk across the board "today's lesson in your books"

[sleek ibex]

I actually still have some of our old games we had for DOS

[young crest]

Stacked

[brazen hemlock]

but we had the best laughs and taught us to be kind but do what must be done.

[cold skiff]

Fuck no😂

[south arrow]

Never been but from what I studied french school where neat

[brazen hemlock]

holy IO modern gets this good, woudn't use the fire-wire loking thing but yeah

[south arrow]

I went to alot of schools due to moving had some good teachers that left little prints

[young crest]

and this laptops 9 years old

[cold skiff]

We had a teacher who was a little fucked after surviving polio. He used to have a proper mean throw on him. His fucked wrist would launch a blackboard eraser 30ft and hit a kid at the back of a class.

[hexed tapir]

I had a teacher come to my house to teach me when I got expelled form 4th grade

[cold skiff]

In today’s word that’s assault. Back then it was painful or hilarious depending on who you were

[brazen hemlock]

oh so 2016 onwards its down hill cool

[sleek ibex]

[cold skiff]

I owned this 😭

[brazen hemlock]

i want this

[hexed tapir]

How did you get the metal attached to your 3d printed save icon?

[cold skiff]

Giving me 1995 vibes

[brazen hemlock]

my sleeper case still has its reader

[cold skiff]

The mega drive version was sick af tbh

[brazen hemlock]

grade-A gaslight bro

[cold skiff]

So many upgrades

[hexed tapir]

The only time I saw floppy disk was when I worked at a thrift store, some of the huge 8 inch lads came in

[cold skiff]

And worms… that was an epic game

[formal sonnet]

Damn. Rockstar (GTA devs) really has come a long way.

[cold skiff]

Huge 8 inch lads you say

[hexed tapir]

Ofc 8 is massive 😉

[brazen hemlock]

some-one re-selling old hospital stock? 😆

[cold skiff]

I’m only 3 inches myself so I can only dream

[sleek ibex]

Some CDs from the DOS era too

[cold skiff]

Sierra games. I think I just made a mess of my pants

[brazen hemlock]

master chief???

sierra 117 😆

nah these are S-tier

[hexed tapir]

Nov 22 was the Xbox 360 19th birthday

[brazen hemlock]

gta 5 on 500mb of ram

go ahead buy your RTX50-- im good

[hexed tapir]

Holy shit it was that smoll

[sleek ibex]

We do a little bit of trolling

https://tenor.com/view/trollface-gif-8242347154758580084

[hexed tapir]

I'm like 15 days older than that

[brazen hemlock]

meanwhile france: we can do half a generic wire for 30000 poeple XD

[hidden nymph]

olddd

but good

[young crest]

7700hq and a 1060

[sleek ibex]

Yes, Doom and Wolf 3D are in here

[hexed tapir]

... Wonder how many people put the disk in the player with the protective sleeves

[gilded sparrow]

Nice coasters

[sleek ibex]

Ehhh at least for us, we never used the ones that came with those CDs.

This was what we used to store them mostly

[cold skiff]

You might have. I had a drawer.

Fling them in. Pull out a lucky dip

[swift moss]

what in the slop

reminds me of this

[swift stream]

blackshark v3 pro has detachable mic so you can still use studio audio

[hardy horizon]

Hmm 32 might be a bit hard to fit, wall only goes to like 16 to edge

Coppa

[limpid dagger]

16 inches of clearing means you can fit max 18” 16:9 display/tv. less if edges/bezels are big. Ripperoni

But u technically have more space than that on the pic. could just fullsend and make it jank

[agile stag]

guys i got a crazy deal my friend needs me to dig into his crt for him but hes gonna give me 10$ for it(enough for a wendys 4 for 4 and a few blinkers) itll be hype coming soon next monday or something,,

[viscid helm]

I wish we could play games and movies like that again...

[limpid dagger]

CRT repairs are a pain tho

[fickle ivy]

Is it worth buying a super expensive screen protector or should I just keep using cheap tempered glass ones

[limpid dagger]

What’s “super expensive” cost and what does it do better than tempered glass? What material?

[fickle ivy]

Stuff like the sapphire screen protectors that are supposedly harder but are also like 10x the price

[viscid helm]

Hi @rigid fjord

I checked the back panel and on 1 port it says SS 2.0 and the other SS 1.0

my capture card is connected to the 2.0 though

does that mean it's USB 3.2 10G?

and how can I check on Motherboard to see if it's connected to correct port?

maybe it's 10 and 20 not 2.0

I can't see well

[jovial swan]

in todays european market how much would my pc go for if i was to sell?
Ryzen 7 7700
asus TUF a620-plus
32 GB kingston fury DDR5
1 TB MSI M371 SSD
gigabyte windforce RTX 4070
650 watt deepcool pk650D PSU
azza spectra case

[boreal scroll]

So i am back, clearing cmos didnt work, so i tried flashing a new bios. I bought a new 32 gig usb, formatted it to fat32, transferred the new bios over and when i tried tried flashing it for the first time there was a solid light for like an hour. So i killed it and tried again, now the light has been blinking for over an hour. Is it worth trying again with a reformatted usb or should i cut my losses and rma the board

[viscid helm]

even 10Gbps should be more than enough for it though. darn Elgato doesn't answer my tickets correctly, they ask me to do things I've already done

[swift thorn]

so there's this random port in the wall at my apartment, dunno what it does looks like a DP port but at the angled end it resembles the bottom of an ethernet port

looks kinda like this, the gold represents the pins that i can see in the connector

[celest ruin]

Guys windows security 'antimalware service executable' is consuming too much cpu and ram, how do I minimise it?
But I don't want to disable it tho

[jovial swan]

Hello, sorry for pinging after so long, is that a good pc for minecraft server?, or maybe light gaming.

[rigid fjord]

going by what this shows, as it's a type A port and type C port where you have it connected, the type A is a 3.2 gen 1 and the type C is a 3.2 gen2x2, so the type C port is 10Gbps while the type A is 5Gbps

[rigid fjord]

that is a phone port

[limpid dune]

Minecraft servers mostly depend on singlethread performance and RAM, and for that, it's "OK". Probably better than what Aeternos is offering 🤣

[rigid fjord]

@swift thorn

[rigid fjord]

SSD and fans should be changed tbh

@carmine yew@left dove and both of you are nerds also

[rigid fjord]

also with the way ddr5 prices are, am4 still a good bunch of value currently

[ebon marlin]

ddr4 prices are also fucked up

80€ for 2x8gb

[rigid fjord]

they are, but not as bad as ddr5 is currently

[ebon marlin]

Both are as bad both doubled in price

[rigid fjord]

32gb kits that used to go for 90 now go for 200+

[rigid fjord]

if not trippled

[ebon marlin]

Damn they're making Commodore 64's again

[bold olive]

my cpu is limited to 90 watts 😭 😭 😭

[sleek ibex]

[craggy cove]

:o

[jovial swan]

did not see your message in time:( missed up on the opportunity

[warm flare]

hi

i know its against the rules to post here about tech help, but this thermal throttling im experiencing on a 3 months owned high end laptop is driving me crazy

i would appreciate if anyone could help

[hardy horizon]

Well I imagine that like that just means that the amount has to fit like within that area. So like 16 is the edge of the mount so however big of a TV you can get in with the edge of the mount being at 16 inches

[sonic siren]

Penguins are indeed funny and lovely animals.

[stray portal]

My next pc will be a custom mini pc i will make

[thorny saddle]

I just finished one

though about to take it apart for an upgrade/change

[stray portal]

Ooo show pls

[stray portal]

idk if mine will have an igpu or a dgpu but i know one of the best igpus rn can play stuff in 4k using upscaling/frame gen

[thorny saddle]

Bassbone always lurkin

[night granite]

Define "mini" (im using itx)

[sleek ibex]

[thorny saddle]

that one above is an Intel 265k w/ 5090

[stray portal]

so like a steam machine but my own

And running binbows since i dont like loonics

[sonic siren]

It might look compact, but in my opinion it's not great in terms of airflow design.

[night granite]

thats a thing

[thorny saddle]

someone pinged on hardwareswap about a z890i board i had listed like 6 mo ago... told them I actually have another... they want the CPU and board... oh boy

[night granite]

ztt just a made a video on one iirc

[night granite]

its not at all compact

[sleek ibex]

[night granite]

the photo is lying if it looks compact in that

[sleek ibex]

That's quite a pickle there

[thorny saddle]

Should I do it? I could go 9800X3D/B850i Strix for like $0

[stray portal]

How good is the igpu in the intel core ultra 9 285k

[thorny saddle]

its not going to game

[stray portal]

Or on the core ultra 7

[night granite]

I plan on making mostly custom parts for it, the original inwin d-frame mini layout is kinda shit

[thorny saddle]

the only nice part about their iGPU is quicksync built in

[sleek ibex]

About on par with a GTX 1050 Ti

[night granite]

might also turn it into an matx case

or ytx if I'm feeling funny

[thorny saddle]

if you want an actual igpu that can run anything it'd have to be an AMD APU

[stray portal]

highest grade amd igpu is the 8700 right

[thorny saddle]

ya

[night granite]

I actually really like ytx, I will most likely turn this case into ytx

with the right modifications it can be e-atx, so the choices are really anything

[sonic siren]

I think a mid-tower is already perfectly fine; there's no need for an open-air case like that.

[night granite]

its for the customization

[stray portal]

I might wait for zen 5 apus

[night granite]

I can remove the entire backplate

lemme go find an image I took when I was making the loop

its very fun to build in when you dont have to lower the thing back into the cage while its fileld with liquid

[azure topaz]

z790i edge?

or worse

[night granite]

nah its the b series

[sonic siren]

The money used to buy it is your own money, so I'm not forcing you to follow my advice.

[lapis talon]

Should I get a HyperX Quadcast S brand new for $145 USD or a "only opened the box once to check" one for $90 USD? He got it in April

[night granite]

I understand its not optimal

homie, I had to remove my start button to fit that rad in\

its not for the ease

[stray portal]

Or maybe i can find a case that fits a smol gpu and a cpu like my rx 7800xt is pretty smol

[lapis talon]

Warranty claim one the used one will make me pay customs tax while the brand new one will be free claims

[night granite]

that used to be where the front io was

I have to print a new one thatll fit

[azure topaz]

boooo

[silk halo]

Should I buy warranty from Best Buy for my oled monitor? It’s 4 years for $89. I’m planning to get this monitor: LG - UltraGear 27" OLED QHD 280Hz 0.03ms G-Sync and FreeSync Premium Pro Gaming Monitor with HDR500 (HDMI x2, DP, USB-A) - Black (It’s $550)

[night granite]

I built this back in september, do you see many z790s available in itx?

[thorny saddle]

z790 mitx is spicy

[night granite]

for the record, I only went lga 1700 because the dude I was living with at the time was also lga 1700, its convenient for testing

and the reason HE was lga 1700 was because we found a full build at a goodwill for 25 usd

14900k, 2x32 5600 ddr5, an asus b760 if I remember correctly

arizona goodwills just have the heat

[lapis talon]

Someone. I need advice ASAP

[sonic siren]

It turns out there really are OS fanboys in this world. There are plenty of operating systems out there to suit everyone's taste, but in my opinion, the ones that are lightweight and perform optimally are the best.

[azure topaz]

yeah the z790i edge

[stray portal]

Winblows is the best

[night granite]

I would use linux but I tried nix, couldnt figure it out after like 2 months straight of not playing any games (just trying to get it to work properly). gave up after that

[night granite]

for what price though?

[night granite]

and for the record, I didnt have a job

that was every living moment basically

[sleek ibex]

"Pick your poison" is my take on the whole Linux vs Windows thing

[sonic siren]

According to your own view, so there's no need to argue about it.

[night granite]

windows is convenient, that doesnt make it the best

I can understand where you are coming from though

[stray portal]

just kidding temple os is the best

[thorny saddle]

my view is the only one that matters to me

[sleek ibex]

Pffft DOS is where it's at

[night granite]

I should get back into linux

[sleek ibex]

[night granite]

my issue is I'll get carried away again
