Those things felt like near EOL by 2018 😭

[indigo lintel]

I ran rdr2 and cyberpunk with it lol

[native path]

Guess you've been waiting for this upgrade LOL

[indigo lintel]

As i said, i replaced it this january

[sleek ibex]

That's a noice case. Got some Fractal alumni in HAVN

[sinful cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-yescat-cat-nodding-nod-gif-21702876

[indigo lintel]

Tbh i would've probably still run it today if it wasn't for GTA VI
A lil slow on the start up, otherwise still a pretty good CPU

[native path]

Honestly given the price, the phanteks NV5 has been great

I ran around looking for a cheap case that would fit everything and looks half decent, super glad I ended up with this (despite it being white)

[indigo lintel]

I also got my first ssd this january

[indigo lintel]

do u have a pic?

[sleek ibex]

Since I do like my Meshify 2 XL and Torrent I have great first impressions for HAVN

[native path]

Of my PC? No unfortunately it's stuffed under my desk next to my server. It looks like this with all parts being black, and a white case.

[indigo lintel]

ahh

[sinful cobalt]

My 2 options are both case swaps

[native path]

Unless this is what you were looking for 🤣

[sinful cobalt]

One I just need to grab a AXP90-47, the other’s gonna just be a better case for my usecase

[indigo lintel]

ah yes nice

im gonna get one of mine, i dont think i got any pics of it after i installed the gpu

[native path]

Once I get my 5g NIC I could take a better picture

[ornate harbor]

That looks better then my first PC

My first PC was a mess

Nearly no cable managment and poor cooler mounting

[native path]

This is what my friend did (cable management I mean), I guided him through the build process and he told me he genuinely could not care for the cables. He routed NOTHING through the back

[ornate harbor]

My first PC had the AIO cooler drilled into the side wall, my 2nd had a dual chamber case and good cable management

made some big upgrading jumps

[native path]

Tbh I'm a fan of doing things the unorthodox way if you have to, I would rather drill an AIO into a side panel then buy a new case

It gives the PC a story

[ornate harbor]

my first PC was a frankenstein, even hand repaired my PSU with a soldering iron

[jovial swan]

Is this a good rear case fan?, my current one has decided to stop living.

[ornate harbor]

Even upgraded my PSU

[native path]

I have 2 of the same tables in an L shaped orientation, except they're backwards with all of the drawers removed so I can fit mounts on them. My tables are too thick for standard mounts

[ornate harbor]

My table is 1cm thick

[native path]

Looks good enough especially if you don't care for how it looks, it's from be quiet so you should be good

[native path]

The "shelf" where my SSD and PS5 controller sits used to be a drawer, that's how thick my table is

[ornate harbor]

thats one thick table

[native path]

I've been wanting to switch over to the standard ALEX drawer + countertop for a good bit now, I want to keep my L shape though

[ornate harbor]

I have been searching for a new table but one my old tables size is like 250-300€

[native path]

Whats the size?

[ornate harbor]

It's L shaped idk I can measure it when I get home

Or find a pic on my phone somewhere

[native path]

Gotcha

[ornate harbor]

I have a pic on my phone but it's a bit messy

If you want to see

[buoyant bridge]

Sawed it down, cut a slit into the cap and moved the cap down

[native path]

Nah if it's too much trouble then I'm alright

[ornate harbor]

Then I'll just look at the plate measurements when I get home

[native path]

Gotcha

[native path]

I'm kinda slow lol what tube is this?

[buoyant bridge]

Bottom of a projector screen

[native path]

Oh thats dope af

[small cedar]

what’s an equivalent amd processor to the i5-12600k

[buoyant bridge]

5800X/7600

[small cedar]

thank you!

[indigo lintel]

Bruh this was worse
I had to cut a hole in the sidepanel cuz the cpu heatsink wouldnt fit

[buoyant bridge]

just remove the side panel???

[ornate harbor]

I took out a battery powered drill and screwed my AIO directly into the side panel.

[indigo lintel]

Nah it didnt look nice enough
But it got too hot so i had to remove the panel anyway. I did the table fan cooling solution

[indigo lintel]

I approve

[native path]

Oh yeah you aren't getting anything close to this from me LOL

[buoyant bridge]

IKEA desk

why do all setups use the IKEA desk except mine if they have a large desk

[ornate harbor]

[buoyant bridge]

I built this desk

[jovial swan]

Gun?

[buoyant bridge]

that's a fuckin 50.

[native path]

Relatively cheap & readily available

[buoyant bridge]

Building ur desk was cheaper last year

It's more expensive now ($80 a sheet of plywood I needed 2 sheets)

Used to be $35 a sheet

[native path]

Yeah but most people just want something that's easy to them to build

[buoyant bridge]

and 2x4x8s where $2.30

[native path]

If I had the skills I would build my desk, similar to how I would make my own router instead of buying one

[buoyant bridge]

I forgot most people don't know how to build shit

[native path]

yeah most of the time if it doesn't come with lego instructions, it's not being done

[thorny saddle]

Good morning all

[buoyant bridge]

I do all my maintence for my home and business so

[buoyant bridge]

Morning

[thorny saddle]

My kids have a 2 hr delay 😭

[buoyant bridge]

10hr delay???

you mean schools closed right...

[thorny saddle]

Lol sorry 2 hr

It'll feel like 10

[buoyant bridge]

I have no clue why but a private school 6 hours away from me sends me their lunch menu in the mail

I don't have a mail forward or anything so I actually don't understand wny

[indigo lintel]

Here

[thorny saddle]

they know you're hungry

[buoyant bridge]

I have skyline

[thorny saddle]

I am semi sad to sell this 265K/mobo

[indigo lintel]

I wouldnt call this good cable management

[buoyant bridge]

buy zipties

[left dove]

oh god ive been up all night playing satisfactory

[thorny saddle]

bro peyton dafuq

[left dove]

its FOUR AM

[thorny saddle]

its like 4AM there

[buoyant bridge]

Yea I do that sometimes with Minecraft peyton

[indigo lintel]

Its an 8 year old picture 🥹

[left dove]

holy SHIT

[thorny saddle]

I was up at 430A here

[ornate harbor]

Mine was worse

[buoyant bridge]

You can never have enough zip ties

[left dove]

Well fuck

[thorny saddle]

so now what

[left dove]

hello and goodnight

[buoyant bridge]

Nini

[indigo lintel]

Im pretty proud of my current back side

[thorny saddle]

to be young again

[indigo lintel]

I wanna see it lol

[thorny saddle]

ew

[buoyant bridge]

Put them in a drawer

[indigo lintel]

🤨

[thorny saddle]

want to see my cable management in this PC/

[buoyant bridge]

Most these boxes are zipties

[thorny saddle]

cable management

[indigo lintel]

Thats fkn tight

[thorny saddle]

yeah

it was so tight it took two different 5090s to fit lol

[indigo lintel]

Im getting claustrophobia just by looking at it

[thorny saddle]

its actually not bad to work on

[indigo lintel]

The bigget the case the better lol

[ornate harbor]

I switched the case and the AIO but I can send you a pic when I get home

[indigo lintel]

Sure thing

[ornate harbor]

I don't even know what brand the case the PC has rn is from

[native path]

I’ve seen worse, at least there was somewhat of an attempt to shove them to the bottom & to the side

[indigo lintel]

I guess so, i didnt have a glass side panel either so i guess it was acceptable at the time

[jovial swan]

Looks more like a 1911, i may be danish but i like guns.

[indigo lintel]

1911 indeed

I guess 45 is pretty close to 50

[buoyant bridge]

it's a 1911 style pistol chambered in .50 GI

[buoyant bridge]

1911s come in a variety of calibers

[lethal jasper]

NICE

[indigo lintel]

Now thats a round ive never heard of

[buoyant bridge]

It's the .50 for glocks

[lethal jasper]

original msg didnt send, is that a powerpoint built into the desk?

[indigo lintel]

Basically just a wider 45 acp?

[buoyant bridge]

you mean outlet? Yeah

[lethal jasper]

niiiiice

[buoyant bridge]

my desk is built into the wall lol

[thorny saddle]

I have a g29

10mm

[indigo lintel]

G27 💪

[thorny saddle]

most of my stuff is 9mm

10mm sub compact is kind of crazy

[buoyant bridge]

I never really liked 10mms got nearly attacked by a wild pig because 3 rounds didn't put said pig down

[thorny saddle]

well 10mm is basically made for pigs and bears

[buoyant bridge]

I mostly shoot magnum cartridge stuff now

[indigo lintel]

500 s&w, be a man

[buoyant bridge]

1. I'm a female
2. I have a magnum research BFR at my house in Montana (45-70 revolver)

I open carry a 357. Rn

[indigo lintel]

1. Ok, sorry
2. Thats hot
3. Nice

i gotta go to the US some day just to shoot stuff

[ebon marlin]

I open carry a Oneplus 13R

[indigo lintel]

what does that fire lol

[native path]

oneplus radio beams

[indigo lintel]

🔥 🔥

bluetooth signals

[ebon marlin]

Infrared laser

[tame siren]

i just sold a 16gb ddr4 kit for 50€ plus shipping, man prices are crazy

[indigo lintel]

✨ uv radiation ✨

[ebon marlin]

Has a dedicated IR sensor

[indigo lintel]

ahh

[ebon marlin]

So I can control all tv's with my phone

[indigo lintel]

ouch

[indigo lintel]

james bond type shit

[tame siren]

i mean its used and pretty old
they went for like 15 bucks a couple months back

[ebon marlin]

Ram prices are insane overall I bought a DDR5 6000cl36 2x16gb kit for 90€ then the next day they're 200€ and now they're 440€

[indigo lintel]

do u wanna buy 32gb of ddr3 1666mhz corsair ram?

[tame siren]

no?

[ebon marlin]

These are supposed to be a cheap budget low end ram kit that I got

[indigo lintel]

oh okay

🙁

[indigo lintel]

do u like rigatoni pasta?

[tame siren]

i do

[native path]

I just bought 2x16G 3200mhz for $95 USD, 2nd hand

[indigo lintel]

I've been meaning to make some rigatoni pasta

[indigo lintel]

Thats not bad i guess

in this economy
smh

[native path]

3 weeks ago as well, not too shabby

Holy shit a $70 USD kit

[indigo lintel]

tf is klevv bolt

[thorny saddle]

crazy times

[tame siren]

here in germany most of the 32gb 6000 kits are like 600-1000€ now which is criminal

[native path]

Not too big of a name brand but they come in most of our SI's systems

[tame siren]

you can find some for 450ish but theyre mostly sold out as far as i can see

[native path]

You're either getting KLEVV BOLT or Lexar here

[thorny saddle]

klevv is big outside of us

granted we all know its just samsung/hynix/micron

[sinful cobalt]

holy regret

[thorny saddle]

thats not bad

[indigo lintel]

true, i live in sweden and never heard of the brand tho

[native path]

WTF

[indigo lintel]

not bad

so this is 530 usd

[tame siren]

i may or may not be planning something stupid

[grizzled frost]

welcome to modern ram pricing

[jovial swan]

What way do i put this?,

[grizzled frost]

where the screwholes are

[indigo lintel]

u want it to blow outwards

[tame siren]

get my parents to front me money, buy a 3080 and a new psu and sell my 2060 super

[native path]

Holy shit I completely misremembered how much I paid for memory, this was $120

[jovial swan]

I know its a dumb question, but idk what way is right

[native path]

This is correct yes

[indigo lintel]

Here
There are arrows on the side of the fan, showing which way it spins and which way it pushed air.
It looks like you got it in the right orientation, as long as it isnt some reverse flow-fan deal

[native path]

Sounds like a decent plan lol, are you selling the old PSU as well?

[tame siren]

dont have all cables anymore and honestly i dont think ill be getting much for a 600w bequiet system power 9

[indigo lintel]

3080 still kicks

[native path]

Fair

[tame siren]

especially for 290€ used

[indigo lintel]

oh heck yeah

[tame siren]

or 340 for an evga

[native path]

Agreed, I have a 3070ti in my system and I have absolutely no reason to upgrade for now

[indigo lintel]

i can sell u a 1070 for 280€ tho

save u 10 eur

[native path]

My 5600 started to slow down, upgraded that to a 7800x3d

[grizzled frost]

you can get em off ebay for 75usd

[indigo lintel]

bruh i wouldnt complain about 75 usd for that thing

[tame siren]

im sitting here with a r5 4500 and planning to buy a god damn 3080😭

[native path]

But why do that when you can sell it for 280€

[indigo lintel]

i pressed send to quickly lol

[grizzled frost]

you can't though

[native path]

If you're someone with morals yes

[indigo lintel]

or without

[native path]

Technically you could find someone who's completely oblivious (e.g. someone who just came out of prison) to modern tech and sell them a 1070 for 280€

[indigo lintel]

charisma 10- sell 8 year old gpu for msrp

[native path]

This is not recommended though

[jovial swan]

Uhm shit?

[thin plover]

with all fans, the logo side like this is the intake, so it's blowing out the case now which is the correct orientation

[indigo lintel]

fan header

[native path]

I'm running way too much shit for no reason at all and my 5600 started to kick rocks

[jovial swan]

It doesnt fit?

[indigo lintel]

yeah it should

[native path]

How much was shipping?

[tame siren]

same as those amazon pcs with a gt710 and a core duo (but single core)

[indigo lintel]

just make sure u got it the right way around

[jovial swan]

It doesnt?,

[indigo lintel]

shit it doesnt fit

[jovial swan]

What the fuck do i do

[tame siren]

my guy the 4500 cant even do pcie 4 afaik

[indigo lintel]

whish pic is fan side?

[native path]

💔

[sinful cobalt]

like $11

[indigo lintel]

which pic is the cable from the fan?

[jovial swan]

I sent

[grizzled frost]

was 330usd, now it's 1175usd

[thin plover]

plug it directly into the motherboard not the psu power cables

[indigo lintel]

ah, plug that into a free fan header on the motherboard then

[jovial swan]

Has like 2 plastic nubs

[jovial swan]

Not long enough

[native path]

I didn't realise that by upgrading my CPU to a 7800x3d, I'd have a spare motherboard, CPU, ram, cooler. Thats's now running all of my VMs 😂

[grizzled frost]

spare parts is the best

[indigo lintel]

route it on the front side

[native path]

I found a guy selling a case & PSU bundle for $35, easiest deal of my life

[thin plover]

check the mobo manual it probably has a cpu_opt header near the fan itself

[jovial swan]

I dont have the manual,

[thin plover]

what motherboard do you have?

[grizzled frost]

i have so many spare parts for older machines, i think i have like 4 cpus i'm not using, and a handful of ram dimms, and like 12 hdds

[tame siren]

my pc in general is a hot mess...
random amazon fans that dont connect into a normal fan hub so im running 2, mobo is shit and the worst cable mess you have ever seen

god knows how i even got the back panel to close

[native path]

My brother's system now has a 5600, 32gigs of ddr4 3600mhz memory, while I now have a new server to toy around with

[grizzled frost]

for welders it's a grinder and paint
for PC builders it's the back panel

[grizzled frost]

i was going to upgrade the ram in my ddr4 servers, but now it costs my first born child

[sinful cobalt]

My aunt’s system is overkill for what she does

[jovial swan]

Asus TUF A620M PLUS

[ornate harbor]

What GPU did he pair the 5600 with

[grizzled frost]

time to upgrade my ddr3 servers instead!

[indigo lintel]

Send a pic of the fan and mobo together, and also how long the cable is pls

[tame siren]

it sure is, the amazon fans cant be daisychained so power goes into one fan hub, rgb goes into the other
and the normal fan hub goes into the amazon one so i can control the rgb at all (with a shitty remote)

[grizzled frost]

kidding, i only have 1 ddr3 server, and it's the most important one

[tame siren]

its cooked

[native path]

I originally had 16gigs in my server (from my brother's old system, he got an upgrade to 32 while I stuck with his 16g). I bought an additional 32g of ddr4 used for about $100, it's mismatched with my 16 but it's whatever honestly there's nothing important on that server

[jovial swan]

Would this work?

CHA-FAN2?

[indigo lintel]

CHA_FAN or CHA_FAN2 will work, its chassi fan

[grizzled frost]

i think i have 32gb in each of my ddr4 servers, 2x8 per cpu per machine (dual socket servers)

[native path]

1070ti, currently waiting on a good deal on the used market for an upgrade so he can play RDR2 and Cyberpunk properly

[grizzled frost]

in my ddr3 server i have 512GB

[native path]

That seems like the most important one

[grizzled frost]

Yeah it's my NAS and plex host

[tame siren]

3070s and even 80s have gotten really really cheap, depending on country 7900 series gpus are also pretty cheap

[ornate harbor]

Dang i didnt know the 1070ti is that good I paired my 5600 with a A750 OC and im struggeling, maybe cuz of the resolution but idk

[grizzled frost]

the two ddr4 servers don't run anything as of yet, but that will change fairly soon

[native path]

On your motherboard generally near where your CPU is, there should be text of what your mobo's model number. Could yo usend that here? We might be able to find a closer fan header for you

[grizzled frost]

i can't get my 2u to work with IPMI, so it's being a pain, but my 1u is just not being used quite yet

i was using the 1u for protein folding for a long while

(1u and 2u are both ddr4 LGA2011-3 servers)

[native path]

It's still pretty solid for it's age, it can't run RDR2 perfectly but for competitive FPS shooters it's working well

[ornate harbor]

My A750 runs RDR2 and cyperpunk on 50-60 fps

[native path]

My server's running the standard cloudflare ddns, wireguard, adguard, couple minecraft servers, and docker & portainer

[jovial swan]

Fuck sakes now pc wont turn on, i mightve put that power switch the wrong place

[grizzled frost]

I have truenas on the NAS machine, Ubuntu Server on my 1u, and nothing on my 2u as of yet

[thin plover]

there's one on the left behind next to the audio ports

[thin plover]

number 4

[sinful cobalt]

i could also say my intergrated graphics runs cyberpunk at low preset FSR performance 60 fps

[native path]

I don't have actual hard drives in there yet so I'm not interesting in putting anything of use on there yet, just using it to learn

[jovial swan]

Yeah got the fan in, now how the fuck do i get the power switch to work, cuz i dont know which one that is

[thin plover]

you need these

[indigo lintel]

Just gotta follow the cable

[grizzled frost]

in my NAS i currently just have a single 3x4tb raidz1 with HDDs, and a 256gb sata ssd for boot

[thin plover]

pwr-btn top right

[indigo lintel]

It should say on the connector itself tho

[grizzled frost]

i was going to use an NVME m.2 for boot, but no UEFI so i would have had to use a weird bootloader work around and i didn't care

[ornate harbor]

My A750 tuns RDR2 and CP2077 at high/ultra on 50-60 fps

[sinful cobalt]

I might consider getting a dual SSD build for windows+linux T1

[grizzled frost]

now i need to figure out why my array only does 10MiB/s with 1MB chunk size

[native path]

That was my plan, use a 256gb NVME to boot proxmox, virtualise TrueNAS and store all my important stuff on a 3x4tb raidz1

[sinful cobalt]

i have a b580

[worldly abyss]

What is the best GPU for gambling?

[grizzled frost]

I originally had proxmox installed with truenas in a VM, but i opted to just run truenas on the bare metal

[native path]

I'm not sure if virtualising TrueNAS is the best idea, but my friend is virtualising Unraid off a usb stick and he hasn't run into an issue for years so I'm kinda just running off him

[worldly abyss]

🎰

[grizzled frost]

A100's, that way you have something to sell so you can gamble more

[ornate harbor]

I want to upgrade to a RX9060XT 16GB for christmas, my A750 aint handling the resolution anymore

[ornate harbor]

UHD 600

[grizzled frost]

nothing wrong with it, just a bit of added complexity that didn't really benefit me

[indigo lintel]

I mean you could short the connectors too

[native path]

If I had multiple servers the same way you do I would totally run TrueNAS by itself, no reason to clutter that system with anything else

[sinful cobalt]

I should upgrade it to a 5080 FE- B580 doesnt cut it in excel 1440p 240hz

[grizzled frost]

Yeah I have a server rack so it's easier to just have multiple discrete servers

I also really enjoy working with server hardware

[ornate harbor]

My A750 still runs modern titles like ARC Raiders on high-ultra on 60 FPS, and thats impressive for the resolution

[grizzled frost]

rack for reference

that chunky 4u is the nas

[sinful cobalt]

My B580 was struggling to output 1440p 60 in expedition 33

[grizzled frost]

like 90% of this was purchased used, so i saved a lot of money

[ornate harbor]

I dunno my steam library isnt that big, but my A750 really needs to go soon, i need a better GPU for that resolution

[grizzled frost]

especially that UPS, i saved 1k usd compared to MSRP

normally 1.5kusd, bought it for 450usd, then about 75usd in new batteries

[sinful cobalt]

I should dump my 5090 and magically shove it into the CH160

[grizzled frost]

used ftw

1.35kw line active UPS

[ornate harbor]

Into what

[sinful cobalt]

Deepcool CH160

[ornate harbor]

Whats that

[sinful cobalt]

Alternatively I cut it into 50 and 90 and put it into the FormD T1

[ornate harbor]

Into what now

[grizzled frost]

FormD T1, super popular SFF case

[stuck spruce]

ramadaggeon

[grizzled frost]

i also use one

[ornate harbor]

I only had ATX/ETAX cases till now

[tame siren]

sick fan plug on the amazon fans💀

[grizzled frost]

FormD T1 is 9.95L and has excellent hardware support

[ornate harbor]

Thats not a standart MB plug

[grizzled frost]

i have a 7800x3d and 4080S in it

[tame siren]

i am well aware

[grizzled frost]

That is unfortunately a proprietary connector

[ornate harbor]

I have a R5 5600 and a Sparkle A750 Oc in my MCV4

[tame siren]

that connector is the only reason why im running 2 fan hubs

[grizzled frost]

There's people with a 5090 and 14900k/9950x3d in the T1 and it works perfectly well

there's also support for a 240mm aio which is rather impressive in the form factor

[sinful cobalt]

Mines just sitting on my H6 flow like: Cmon. Do something.

[grizzled frost]

mine's sitting on my desk while i play power wash simulator 2

i love power wash sim

[ornate harbor]

Im cooling my R5 5600 65W CPU with a 360mm AIO

[grizzled frost]

i'm running my 7800x3d 75w CPU with a 240mm aio

[sinful cobalt]

i could go get a 5080FE- dk if its a scam thought, not gonna give him a shipping option

[indigo lintel]

oh nice

[jovial swan]

Everything is spinning, but theres nothing on the display?

Wtf is going on with my pc

[indigo lintel]

is the display on?
Any lights on the mobo?

[grizzled frost]

press capslock on the keyboard, does it toggle?

[jovial swan]

Caps lock yes.

[grizzled frost]

So the PC is posted, you just aren't getting a display out

[indigo lintel]

check ur display and ur video cables in that case

[jovial swan]

Im getting ths

What the fuck

[indigo lintel]

alright, this is good

[sinful cobalt]

Perhaps I should get a 5070 as a nice display adapter

[native path]

Perfect

[indigo lintel]

press F1

[warm saddle]

Should I disable iGPU?

[stuck spruce]

ur not cooked anymore

[jovial swan]

Wait could it be because i turned it off?, by pressing the turn of button?

[native path]

No this is the right screen, click F1

[stuck spruce]

did u force turn it off

[jovial swan]

Aight

[grizzled frost]

not best practice, but rarely causes problems nowadays

[native path]

Bang

[grizzled frost]

F10

[indigo lintel]

Great, run boot manager

[jovial swan]

Aight. Done that,

[native path]

I don't see a reason to, if your GPU ever fries itself you'll be pissed your iGPU is disabled

[jovial swan]

Pls dont explode now. The water sounds drippy in the cooler

[grizzled frost]

That just happens when AIO's turn on/off, should go away rather quickly though

[jovial swan]

Its taking quite a while

[indigo lintel]

It's fine

While you're in bios its not running very hard

i'd start worrying once you're inside windows

[ornate harbor]

3 Keyboards?

[native path]

Where are you getting your GPUs from?

[indigo lintel]

maybe other devices are just recognised as keyboards. Could be gamepads?

[grizzled frost]

you sound like 5nail (lovingly)

[ornate harbor]

Hmmm

[sinful cobalt]

a 5070 is pretty SFF- It'd be a nice display adapter till whenever I can get my hands on novalake for the T1, or maybe for the midori

And no thats nowhere near 5nail, he'd be talking 5090s as display adapters

[indigo lintel]

just a guess, i dont think BIOS actually knows exactly what you plug into ur pc

[grizzled frost]

rtx 6000 blackwells as display adapters

[sinful cobalt]

eggxactly

[grizzled frost]

and i'm so glad you understood my meaning by "you sound like 5nail"

[sinful cobalt]

[grizzled frost]

I feel like he has more money than he knows what to do with sometimes

[jovial swan]

All is well again

Man is pc fixing so nerve wracking holy shit, all for a fan bruh

[sinful cobalt]

Honestly, he's a guy who knows his stuff if you're willing to sit down and listen is my opinion of him

[grizzled frost]

Oh he's extremely knowledgeable, he just seems to opt for the "throw money at the problem" solution at times

[cosmic idol]

Lmao epic snails chat

[sinful cobalt]

He's how I'd talk to people if I know stuff, poke and tease them with questions

[indigo lintel]

happy to hear it lol

[native path]

I had a system where it would only boot if it was flat on the ground, standing it up right would send it into a boot loop

[jovial swan]

If i get anymore problems ill just ask in here again lol. This is the first time since i bought the pc that Ive changed something in it, other than the GPU half a year ago.

[grizzled frost]

probably a loose connector

[indigo lintel]

it's a good place to do it
I spent many hours here before i rebuilt my pc in january earlier this year

[native path]

Turned out to be a memory issue (????) all the connectors looked good to the eye, and they sometime worked sometime didn't work

[jovial swan]

Yeh

[sinful cobalt]

I'd probably be similar to 5nail's tone if Im in a serious mood, but most of the time I'd be goofy

[indigo lintel]

it started with this

[jovial swan]

Dang

[jovial swan]

Ive been on this discord for 5+ years lol, first thing i ever talked about was a ps4 i used to own that literally combusted or smth, cant remember

[indigo lintel]

oh lol ouch

hot

[jovial swan]

This was my old pc when i swapped a gpu for the first time

[sinful cobalt]

Honestly? Im just looking at carousel

[indigo lintel]

I've never seen that

that is a new level of screwed

Hej granne 👋

[valid laurel]

Hey I’m having to cancel my order for the case because I realised it’s too small for my aio, what case would you recommend me?

I thinking maybe to get the nzxt h9 flow rgb or the Meshify 3 rgb xl model

[indigo lintel]

Depends on what AIO and motherboard you're getting

the H9 can only fit 360mm aio's if what i just googled is correct

[valid laurel]

It’s an arctic liquid freezer iii pro 360 and the motherboard is an aorus b850 elite @indigo lintel

[native path]

@indigo lintel here’s the build, far from pretty but i can’t see it anyway, keeps me satisfied

[indigo lintel]

Ooo that gpu is sgging

[native path]

That gpu is being supported

[indigo lintel]

By hopes and dreams?

[ornate harbor]

Is the case just so big or is the MB just so small...

[valid laurel]

Any case recommendations?

[native path]

ATX motherboard, HUGE case

[ornate harbor]

Nah its the 2 screws at the end

[sinful cobalt]

This reminds me, I should probably clean my CH160 build, its pretty dusty considering its on the floor

[ornate harbor]

Why such a big case only takes up space

[indigo lintel]

I mean the H9 would probaböy be a good pick

[native path]

Was cheap

[sinful cobalt]

APNX V1, Phanteks NV5 or 7, or go for a Lianli Lancool series.

[valid laurel]

Ok, it would be the nzxt h9 flow rgb (2025) so it doesn’t come with the bottom fans, is that fine without the bottom fans? For thermals?

[ornate harbor]

But space

[native path]

Thought so, was considering looking at Sim Lim but I doubt their GPU prices are good

[native path]

It sits under my desk, don’t need the space

[sinful cobalt]

Best GPU pricings are usually on big sales like 11.11 on shopee, typically from PCkaki.

[native path]

Next to that other computer

[jovial swan]

fuck sakes my audio is gone. how do i check

[ornate harbor]

But space under desk :/

[indigo lintel]

lookie here

the biggst case i could find in 2018

[ornate harbor]

[native path]

Space I don’t use, it’s on the side where my legs don’t rest. It’s either under the desk or on the desk, and I use that desk space

[sinful cobalt]

Mines inbetween my bed and desk leg lmao

[indigo lintel]

tbh the enthoo pro's is the best case ever made
change my mind

[valid laurel]

The case I ordered was the Meshify 3 rgb but I realised it can only fit a 240mm aio and that would thermal throttle the CPU im getting

[sinful cobalt]

I use my PC case as a minitable

[jovial swan]

is the audio ports those labaled front speaker? there wasnt anything in them piror

[indigo lintel]

Still, the gpu barely fits

[native path]

AHAH good idea

[indigo lintel]

it's resting on the fkn hdd trays

[jovial swan]

please help

idk where my audio went

[native path]

Maybe throw my pc here?

[ornate harbor]

thats why i use big cases

[sinful cobalt]

Its a pretty shit idea if you have the deskspace, all the shit falls there

[indigo lintel]

i thought mine was big lol
i guess gpus werent that large in 2014 tho

[native path]

Check your HD audio connector, all the way on the bottom left of your motherboard. Should look like colourful wires

[ornate harbor]

yeah

[indigo lintel]

windows setting probably
As long as u dont have ur headphones plugged into the front interface?

[native path]

God damn it I can’t figure out what’s going against my fan

[sinful cobalt]

girnormous

[jovial swan]

they are

[hallow jasper]

mmsys.cpl knows all

[native path]

I might just replace these 3 fans

[ornate harbor]

whats that

[indigo lintel]

I had a 750ti when i bought my current case lol

[ornate harbor]

My first PC had a GT6800GT 256MB :)

[indigo lintel]

cute

[hallow jasper]

what you launch when troubleshooting audio

first and usually last thing

[south arrow]

Windows+R

[indigo lintel]

My first pc was a fujistsu/siemens silverline, i think it also had a 256mb card. No idea about the brand, but it was a win98 pc

my first own pc had a 550ti

[ornate harbor]

i dunno i have never done that

[sinful cobalt]

As of rn im like the youngest in this chat lmao

[ornate harbor]

my first own PC had a GT9600GT 512MB

[hallow jasper]

ok

[ornate harbor]

what does that do

[sinful cobalt]

run

[iron moth]

Does anyone remember the name of the Program they sometimes used in the videos to see the temperature of the CPU and stuff like that when Benchmarking

[ornate harbor]

Nah im younger i think

[sinful cobalt]

msi afterburner

[south arrow]

Manages sound devices

[sinful cobalt]

Age? 19 here.

[hallow jasper]

On screen? Many ways to do this

[ornate harbor]

15 here

[sinful cobalt]

ah shii

[ornate harbor]

:)

[iron moth]

Yes that one I was aware of, But I think it was something like hardware ### or so, I cant remember. They used it in some of the experimental builds and the cheap PC builds

[sinful cobalt]

my first PC if we dont count a mac is a 5600 4060 prebuilt lmaoao

[valid laurel]

What Lancool would you recommend?

[iron moth]

where they had like a list of all the components, all the values of temperature, clock speed, outside the bios.

[sinful cobalt]

the cheapest you can get

[native path]

NV5 +1

[ornate harbor]

I bought my first PC used with a Core 2 Quad and mainboard graphics

[indigo lintel]

🤏

[hallow jasper]

Are you asking about an on screen display or no? HWiNFO is the go-to for everyone in the know for general system stats and it has an OSD but its not used much

[ornate harbor]

Huh

[valid laurel]

Why the cheapest?

[indigo lintel]

smol

[hallow jasper]

the one you like most

[ornate harbor]

Im kinda big i think

[indigo lintel]

i thought u said u was 15

[sinful cobalt]

because their variants target either CPU or GPU (one has fan configs for either one) but the temp diff is like 1-2C anyway

[iron moth]

Yes i think that was it, thank you!

[ornate harbor]

yeah but im 180-185cm

[indigo lintel]

well
smol

[south arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/the-labyrinth-im-a-worm-worm-gif-22539790

[sinful cobalt]

i got my first pc at like... 18

[indigo lintel]

how old were u when u got that gt9600gt?

[ornate harbor]

Bought my first pc when i was 12

[ornate harbor]

13

[indigo lintel]

wait

so that was fkn 2 years ago?

[ornate harbor]

yeah

[indigo lintel]

it's a 2008 GPu ;-;

[hallow jasper]

Current and past generations all mixed in. LANCOOL II and III are the much larger full size models. The 207, 206, 216, 217 those are all the more normal sized models. Then there are RGB and non-RGB variants

[sinful cobalt]

I thought he would be WAY older than me with these crazy statements

[valid laurel]

What one do you guys recommend I get the most?

[ornate harbor]

Ik and i couldnt even play minecraft 1.18

[hallow jasper]

There is no recommendation, there is just what you want.

[sinful cobalt]

ur opinion

[indigo lintel]

full tower means more space

i like space

[indigo lintel]

but why tho
coulndt u find anything better
i could've given u a better gpu lol

[hallow jasper]

some of those are VERY large

so unless you'll be filling them with a custom loop, they'll look quite empty

[native path]

+1 for space in the pc

[indigo lintel]

yessss

[ornate harbor]

had a 20€ budget

[iron moth]

Okay maybe someone can help me, my Motherboard beeps like 5 times when I start my PC. Its a rather old PC and until the new one arrives in 1-2 weeks, it still has to last 😂 this only started like a week ago. Anyone got an idea?

[native path]

Lets see if I can find a better GPU than a GT9600 in 2025 at that price range

[indigo lintel]

okay i see lmao

[ornate harbor]

Pretty sure youc an find a GTX
650TI for it

[valid laurel]

Well which one of these 3 would offer better cooling?

[hallow jasper]

all the same

[valid laurel]

Ok

[boreal tiger]

something is wrong but to know exacty what you would need to share the model of pc

[hallow jasper]

Emma, you're overthinking this

[native path]

Found a 970 for 20 euro

[indigo lintel]

still not much bigger than the phanteks enthoo tho

[ornate harbor]

Dang how the prices have changed but a 970 aint a use for me anymore :/

[native path]

I would love to have accessible drive bays like the ones in the Phanteks Enthoo

[iron moth]

Asus Prime H310M-K Motherboard
16gb of Kingston Ram ddr 4 1333mhz
ASUS ROG STRIX 1070 OC
Intel Core i5 8500

[native path]

5 beeps would mean it's a graphical error, try reseating your GPU

[indigo lintel]

I mean they still make the server edition, more or less the same case

[ornate harbor]

My mainboard doesnt have a speaker to make beep :/

[iron moth]

I read online it might be the CPU, the GPU would be doable, but CPU i cant do. Dont have any more thermal paste at home

[native path]

Rough life

[boreal tiger]

either graphical ot your cpu has bent pins or dust or its dead

[iron moth]

It started doing it when i plugged a 2k monitor into it. And I had cleaned the GPU a day before. Could that have anything to do with it?

[boreal tiger]

you need to trouble shoot

[ornate harbor]

I never had any issues with my current PC

[native path]

What do you mean by cleaned?

[hallow jasper]

its got somewhere to plug one in

[indigo lintel]

Do you have integrated graphics?

[iron moth]

I held the fans still and blasted air through it with a compressor

[ornate harbor]

But i dont have one :/

[iron moth]

no I have a 1070

[hallow jasper]

well this wasn't about you anyway

[boreal tiger]

do you have integrated graphiics?

[indigo lintel]

Not rally what i asked

[iron moth]

Oh in the processor. No idea. Possibly

Yes sorry i misunderstood

[ornate harbor]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[native path]

Your i5-8500 has integrated graphics. I would try removing your GPU and plugging your HDMI into your motherboard

[indigo lintel]

If you do, connect the screen to your motherboad instead of your GPU

If it suddenly works, the issues it must be GPU related

[iron moth]

Alright ill turn my PC off, change the DP port to the Motherboard and restart it. Ill report back in a second. Thank you 🫡

[native path]

Folks I have found an issue with our plan

He has no HDMI or DP

[ornate harbor]

VGA works

[hallow jasper]

he's about to figure that out in 3..

[native path]

"Erm guys I have no DP on my motherboard"

I feel so sorry

[native path]

That would require a monitor that supports VGA and a VGA cable, I hope he has that

[ornate harbor]

Why do modern MBs even have the PS2 connector...

[hallow jasper]

I have my doubts if you're here asking for help that you have the necessary adapters or cables but I suppose we'll see

[grizzled frost]

cause it just works

[native path]

This is a 7 year old board

[ornate harbor]

Means?

[ornate harbor]

Oh

[brave brook]

DVI to HDMI is a thing. Many even do HDMI sound over DVI

[indigo lintel]

wait hold tf on

[native path]

If he has that adapter yeah

[hallow jasper]

#tech-chat-1 message

[brave brook]

or cable

[indigo lintel]

How old is even that thing?

[grizzled frost]

This is a 7 year old board

[brave brook]

H81 i suspect

[indigo lintel]

Oh.

[native path]

Shocked it doesn't have HDMI honestly

[indigo lintel]

same

[boreal tiger]

2018 was 7 years ago😧

[native path]

I would've expected budget boards in 2018 to have HDMI

[ornate harbor]

Dang I got old

[boreal tiger]

me too

😭

[brave brook]

to be fair, H310 is ultrabudget

[indigo lintel]

This is a Gigabyte Z97 gaming 3 board from 2014. 4th gen intel.
I see an hdmi

[native path]

True that

[hallow jasper]

PS/2 is found on current motherboards for one of two reasons.

1. Its just cheap and sold for use in situations where one might have older hardware that needs to be compatible. Lot of POS systems or businesses.
2. They think they can make a buck from gullible trend chasing gamer kids whos favorite streamer said it was better.

[ornate harbor]

Why so many USB ports 💀

[iron moth]

Yes i am ancient i have noticed that just now too

[indigo lintel]

Idfk lol
u never know

[hallow jasper]

welcome back

[brave brook]

Z77 ITX board from 2012?

[iron moth]

DVI and VGA i can offer. So, i miscounted, its 1 long beep, 3 short beeps. its 4

I did replug the DP of my Screen but that did not fix it

[indigo lintel]

do u have another gpu?

[native path]

Sweet, that's still a graphical error

[ornate harbor]

Could plug a USB hub into every one of them and then plug a USB HDD into every USB plug on the USB hub and try to make a server :]

[indigo lintel]

that's an idea

[iron moth]

I can offer a 1050ti with a broken fan, besides the 1070. Should I try plugging that in?

[indigo lintel]

Try it, if you know it works

[boreal tiger]

yeah

[ornate harbor]

Didnt Linus make a video about how many USB hubs you cna plug into each other

[iron moth]

it should still work, just rattles a bit

[indigo lintel]

i think so, i remember somethng similar

[ornate harbor]

yeah

[indigo lintel]

meh it's part of the experience

[boreal tiger]

we are only testing dont worry

[iron moth]

Okay so silly question, how exactly do i plug that one in. 😅 back when we built that one, my father put it together

[native path]

I have a Gigabyte Z170X-Gaming 3 in my old pc turned server

[iron moth]

ive only been trying to get into pc building and tech the past months

[boreal tiger]

watch a youtube totorial

[boreal tiger]

or get professional help at this point

[iron moth]

Alright ill report back once I tried that

[native path]

Plugs the same way in, do you know how to remove a GPU?

[native path]

wut

[iron moth]

No 😅 😂

But theres a first time for anything

[boreal tiger]

i mean its safer thats all

[iron moth]

I mean if it breaks, it breaks. my new PC arrives next week so id have to move to my steamdeck for a few days but itd be surviveable

But i would prefer to not wreck it yet

I do have some fond memories of the 1070 and i also wanted to keep it as an office PC

[native path]

I didn't see that p already sent a guide. Remove the screws from the PCIE backplate. There's a little latch right where your GPU plugs into your motherboard. Click that latch down and it opens up. Pull your GPU out

i just regurgitated that whole guide

[boreal tiger]

1070 is still solid for certain things

[sinful cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/mclaren-disastercals-gif-3549840301773162905

[iron moth]

Thank you anyway. Ill try that in a second, im switcihg to my phone and send a picture

[native path]

By PCIE backplate I mean the screws here on the rear of your case

MAKE SURE YOUR PC IS OFF WITH PSU SWITCHED OFF 😭

[boreal tiger]

dude your pc is still on?

[indigo lintel]

i got a Gigabyte Z790 D

[sinful cobalt]

i havent powered on my pc in like 3 days

[iron moth]

Only when i took the pic with the sidepanel open! Dont worry

Im not that old

[indigo lintel]

everyone should experience a catastrophical short once in a while

[iron moth]

I know atleast a tiny bitof tech

[native path]

My new board is a B650-E

[hallow jasper]

whats that supposed to mean

[native path]

I've enjoyed it so far

[iron moth]

Now to get a hammer to get the screws out 😂

[boreal tiger]

make it easy watch a youtube totorial

[indigo lintel]

fancy

[native path]

I think I overpaid for it, does $200 sound reasonable?

[sharp coyote]

My first part of many

[indigo lintel]

it does, i paid 230usd for mine lol

[native path]

love this power supply

[iron moth]

Im at an age where "dont touch live power" is a reasonable assumption 😂

Iam just very clumsy and a bit clueless

[native path]

Oh sweet i'm glad then

[indigo lintel]

at least it's not high voltage
...
rock n roll

[native path]

It was the most expensive part of my upgrade outside of the CPU

[sinful cobalt]

The TUF B650-Es are lowk common ngl, not sure of their quality but my friend got one for a relatively okay price

[indigo lintel]

but i also live in sweden

[native path]

crap

[valid laurel]

I can’t decide 😭

[iron moth]

Btw while were on the topic, is a B840 Plus an okay board, if I got it brand new for cheaper then market? Or should i have gotten with the b650E aswell? (I dont own many speedy usb devices anyway now a fast enough ssd to use pcie 5.0)

[native path]

I got my board solely because it was priced relatively well, it was AM5, and it was ATX. I didn't look into anything else

[sinful cobalt]

i got myself an x870 steel legend from amazon bcs it was the only available white board at the time lmao

[hallow jasper]

I don't think anyone is going to suggest spending real money on B840 anything

[sinful cobalt]

and it was cheaper than the b650 aorus ice

[native path]

Running well for me, boots a tad slower than my old board but it doesn't bother me, got it off Dynacore for SGD$270

[indigo lintel]

A ASUS TUF Gaming B650E-E WiFi is 300 usd in sweden

[native path]

HAHA ILL TAKE IT

[indigo lintel]

i'd pick right

[valid laurel]

Why that one?

[indigo lintel]

I like the simple boxy look i guess

[ornate harbor]

Left

[sinful cobalt]

my guy also got it from dynacore for the same price lmao

[iron moth]

I could get a b650e, new, for 70€ here.

Or for 60€ the B840Plus.

[indigo lintel]

Tho it is a little smaller

[native path]

Like GuiltySpark already said, I think you're super overthinking it. It's your case, which will sit in your room

[indigo lintel]

my 5070ti was 1400usd 🙂

[native path]

Must be a good board 😂

[sinful cobalt]

its usable ig

[native path]

Dyncacore>>

[valid laurel]

Are you talking about the Meshify or h9? Because I would say the Meshify is more boxy and that one is on the left

[hallow jasper]

Left says you're an experienced enthusiast that prefers classical, yet proven looks. Right says you can't wait to show of your build on tiktok. If you're really looking for opinions.

Frankly, the biggest issue is the XL's are just too damn big unless you're properly watercooling. (not an AIO, i mean actually building a loop)

[wheat torrent]

My 4090 was 1500 used slightly dented

[iron moth]

So would that be worth it?

[indigo lintel]

Oh i mean the H9 looks boxier
The meshify has these champfered-off edges that i dont really like

[sinful cobalt]

They offer great prices, wide variety
In terms of pricing, dynacore and pckaki are definitely the best from what ive seen

[unique olive]

Ooooof

[wheat torrent]

5070 ti 1500 USD also, brand new

[sinful cobalt]

holy scam

[wheat torrent]

But warranty I guess

[unique olive]

Why why who are you being these from

[valid laurel]

I’m just doing an aio

[valid laurel]

Oh ok I got confused lmao

[unique olive]

That’s 5080 astral price

[indigo lintel]

yup. I payed too much, but i had to have it
The site i wanted to buy it from sells em for 1150usd, but they sold out quicker than than i could say "15 carrots up my arse"

[valid laurel]

I think I prefer where the power button is on the h9, it being on the bottom along with the usb ports

[indigo lintel]

Look up youtube videos of someone building in them. So you can get a feeling how the experience will be

[unique olive]

There’s about 10 different places you can reliably buy gpu’s from in the us even if you bought during the height of 50 series prices you shouldn’t have pain over $1100

[wheat torrent]

1477 USD

[indigo lintel]

But that's the US
Im in sweden

[ornate harbor]

What is "lei"

[unique olive]

Oh usd but your not in the us my bad I see now

[wheat torrent]

A currency

[iron moth]

Okay update, after extractinc the 1070 and just starting with integrated graphics it no longer beeps! So its the 1070

[wheat torrent]

MDL

[ornate harbor]

But what country

[wheat torrent]

Moldova

[indigo lintel]

Great!

[ornate harbor]

Idk that one

[native path]

Performance PC was great, got my case from their warehouse to their shop in ~2 hours, it was the only shop with the actual NV5 in stock instead of the crappy NV5s which every other shop tried to sell to me

[wheat torrent]

I know

[indigo lintel]

south east europe

[wheat torrent]

No one does

[ornate harbor]

Hmmm

[native path]

It could be a bad seat, I would plug it in and try the 1070 again

[wheat torrent]

Its near Ukraine

[unique olive]

I got my 9070xt for $650 and my 5090 for $2400 I sadly missed the msrp 5090

[iron moth]

Guess ill plug the 1070 back in for now , maybe thatll fix it yes

[sinful cobalt]

performance has inconsistent pricing across items tbh, some are good, others are shit

[iron moth]

So, about the motherboard, is an B840 Plus a bad motherboard? If i got it for way cheaper then market rate?

[indigo lintel]

maybe

[native path]

Haven't looked at anything aside from their cases honestly, I bought my case in a hurry

[hallow jasper]

It will function.

[indigo lintel]

It has an hdmi port

[iron moth]

Or should I invest into a B650E instead? I dont have any pcie 5.0 devices nor do i need so many high speed usbs but its 10€ difference only

[native path]

Never worked with someone who had a B840 Plus, I highly doubt it's a bad board. If it's within your budget and suits your needs, that's a perfect board to me

[valid laurel]

The Meshify 3 xl is a lot bigger and I don’t need a massive case, just big enough to fit my parts, like my graphics card is quite small it’s the asus prime of rtx 5080

[iron moth]

I could get either, for either 60/70€ 🤷‍♂️

[indigo lintel]

then the H9 will probably work just fine for you

[native path]

Ah yes the ASUS PRIME 5080, notorious for being small

[iron moth]

Its just about wether i should delay my order and wire another 10€ to them for the 650E or if its fine to use that one

[native path]

Have you already ordered one? It doesn't seem like it's worth losing sleep over

[ornate harbor]

5080 doesnt sound small

[indigo lintel]

840 plus is newer

[sinful cobalt]

still 2.5 slot

true SFF 5080 belongs to FE

[iron moth]

I ordered my prebuilt. Its being built today. So i could still change it today.

[native path]

Personally if I were you I would stick to whatever it is right now

[hallow jasper]

I can't ever suggest buying a modern AMD system without PBO to tweak things. Free performance and lower temperatures. B840 is a disaster on many fronts.

If all you do on a computer is turn it on and play games, I guess it won't matter. An enthusiast would never pick it, however.

[iron moth]

Alright, thank you. I guess its not a big difference otherwise, if i dont have anything to make use of it anyway

Yes the 1070 beeps when plugged in

[native path]

That's super unfortunate

I guess it waited till you ordered a new PC before it bricked, happy ending?

[iron moth]

I mean thats basically what I do, until now. Turn it on, play.

But whats a PBO

[hallow jasper]

Overclocking/undervolting tools for Ryzen CPU's.

[iron moth]

Yes. 🥺 its been a good GPU for 3 years now, and the only other upgrade i made for this Pc, since making it in 2018

[hallow jasper]

PBO is disabled/not available on all A series and B840 specifically boards.

[iron moth]

And what about the Pcie 5.0 vs 4.0, would that hold back my 5070ti majorly?

[hallow jasper]

No

PCIe Gen5 has almost no real world purpose or benefit for home users/gamers.

[iron moth]

I read its negligible to non existent so its a usable board, its why i chose it 😥

[grizzled frost]

there is absolutely 0 difference outside of the 5090, and even with the 5090 it's margin of error

[native path]

Never ever buy a PC from them

[iron moth]

I just chose it because it was 50 or 60€ instead of the usual 170

[sinful cobalt]

A prebuilt in SG is essentially a death sentence for people who know stuff

90% of prebuilts are all just dumpster fires

[hallow jasper]

https://tenor.com/view/tyler-lie-lol-not-telling-the-truth-that-was-a-lie-gif-13885912

[iron moth]

I was thinking that too, since the H310M i ran wasnt super special either afaik

[indigo lintel]

the only pc i bought was in 2013

that ended up being totally out of context

[native path]

Don't know how bad of a take this is. Aftershock has some really good prices especially if you have a general idea of what you want. SGD$1100 for a 7500f and a 5060 with 16g of DDR5 memory and a 1tb NVME drive, that's a solid deal

[iron moth]

So, should I or should I not attempt to contact them to upgrade to the B650E (also from Asus Prime though)

[hallow jasper]

up to you

[native path]

I meant to reply to this message

[sinful cobalt]

its so good it even has a bomb inside

[hallow jasper]

I'll provide information. Decisions when it comes to money is on you.

[native path]

Hey those PSUs aren't too bad

[sinful cobalt]

A friend of mine bought an asus gaming pc recently (new)
No-brand ahh motherboard, some wierd ass NVME and single stick of ddr4 ram (the cpu could to ddr5)
What a fkn scam

[native path]

80+ Silver, I'll take it

[sinful cobalt]

says nothing

[hallow jasper]

ass, we can say ass

[sinful cobalt]

and we all know gigabyte psus just generally suck balls

[indigo lintel]

i trust corsair lol

[native path]

As long as you're not overclocking, which you probably aren't if you're spending $1000, you're good

[iron moth]

Thank you. Ill send the specs the seller offered if that helps

[indigo lintel]

yes

He got a 5070, not a 5070ti

he payed 2300 usd or something

[iron moth]

😳

[indigo lintel]

Or maybe it was Acer

idk they cheaped out on a lot of things

[sinful cobalt]

Ah yes trust gigabyte known for notorious F tier psus

Theres like….. 1 model that isnt F

aftershock is notorious for cheaping out on the motherboard, ssd, PSU, and a few times RAM

[hallow jasper]

One model that IS F tier, and it hasn't been sold in like 4-5 years

get with the times!

Rev 1 P-GM was the only explosive F tier unit and its long dead and gone years ago

[native path]

I've seen their systems, PSU is cheaped out on for sure, their storage and motherboards for their target audience (general people who want to play games) are good enough, RAM worked alright from what I tried out

[indigo lintel]

This

[sinful cobalt]

nah fuck aftershock

buy it if you want a piece of absolute shit

[native path]

Fairs

[hollow silo]

ayo discord is getting shops for each individual server now? I can buy marvel rival skins on discord and receive it in-game. not sure what % they take, but lttstore on discord?

[hallow jasper]

k

[unique olive]

If im setting up dual boot do i need to remove my windows ssd before trying to install Linux on the other drive

[indigo lintel]

nah, just set up the boot order correctly

But it could help, and would make things a little more straight forward

[unique olive]

Alright good cause the old gpu is so chonky I gotta remove it to access my drives

[indigo lintel]

Ahhh it's nvme.2 sdd's?

[unique olive]

Yuh

I don’t wanna wait for my new drive to arrive

[indigo lintel]

i see

Just change your boot order in bios so you boot into the drive you wanna use

or something

[unique olive]

Time to try zorin os

[indigo lintel]

Intel Core i9 14900KS sounds scary

[iron moth]

with intels heat problems, certainly

[hallow jasper]

uhh

what

[indigo lintel]

and i was a lil scared when i bought my 14700k

[iron moth]

Arent the 14th gen i9s overheating and breaking when they came out?

[indigo lintel]

yup

apparently they fixed the breaking with bios fixes

[iron moth]

I mean its fixed by now afaik but i would still be scared of it

[indigo lintel]

i am

Another great thing is that they'll stop selling the 14th gen soon too

[iron moth]

its why I went with a Ryzen 7 7800X3D instead of an i7 14th gen

[unique olive]

Nothing it’ll all be fine

I did something wrong ubiquity service failed 😞

[indigo lintel]

See, i did the complete opposite

[iron moth]

i mean gaming wise the 7800X3D is better apparently and workload wise its the opposite but 🤷‍♂️

[indigo lintel]

meh i want a cpu which can do it all

[carmine yew]

no

It wasn't overheating, it was a specific component getting the wrong voltage

[indigo lintel]

say if i decide to suddenly start renddering things
i already got a cpu that can do that

[carmine yew]

and that has since been repaired

[iron moth]

Ahhh okay.

But its not like the 7800X3D is a bad CPU

certainly not compared to the ancient i5 im using 😂

[carmine yew]

7800x3d is the second/third best gaming CPU on the market

[indigo lintel]

Oh no no, the 7800x3d is like the best bang for buck gaming cpu out there

[carmine yew]

Also: It wasn't i9 14th gen chips.
It was all 13th and 14th gen chips with the issue.

Enthusiasts just noticed it faster due to a combination of reasons

[indigo lintel]

The i7 and i9-k versions were the worst

[iron moth]

Yeah thats what i meant, its why i went with the 7800X3D instead of the i7 14th gen

[indigo lintel]

The only thing i regret is not going for 6000mts ram

[iron moth]

since i dont do anything besides gaming and the occasional video rendering i should be fine with that, hopefully

oh god with Ram i got so unbelievably lucky

i missed ramaggedon by like 3 days with the seller i ordered at

[indigo lintel]

oof

[iron moth]

32gigs, 6000mhz kingston fury beast, 64€

[indigo lintel]

I payed 110 usd for corsair 32gb ddr5 5600mhz

same kit is like 400 now

[iron moth]

the only thing im now dwelling on about is like i said earlier the motherboard.

Yeah I saw that! on mindfactory it was 380€, on other up to 600!

[indigo lintel]

i think the 840 is newer than the 650

so there's that

[sinful cobalt]

get the one there has more usb ports

[iron moth]

Yeah thats what I thought too. Both are in essence the same I guess. 8 USB ports, just 2 more 10gbps ones on the 650E, both are ATX

[sinful cobalt]

newer doesnt necessarily mean better

[carmine yew]

y'all need to stop listening to people on discord / youtube.

Just because a CPU isn't "THE BEST" at a task doesn't mean it can't do it.

It just isn't quite as fast as a chip that is THE BEST at something

Intel Arrow Lake games just fuckin' fine

Is Ryzen 9000x3d better? Sure.

Does it matter? To most people, not in the fucking slightest.

[indigo lintel]

NVM get the b650

[iron moth]

both cost 170€ on the normal market. Its only a 10€ difference for me at the seller. And the 650E has a 5.0 port which i realistically wont need. I just felt like i got scammed at first because a few people told me it was bad because of VRM and because of the things GuiltySpark mentioned, the no OC potential

Yeah the 650E is newer I think.

The thing im worried about is how much it might delay my new PC arrival. And wether that 10€ is really worth it. Because the faster USB Ports i will just fill up with peripherals, i dont own any super fast USB File things 🤷‍♂️

[indigo lintel]

The 650 offers overclocking too

Even if you wont use it, its a nice feature to have. It still probably has all the ports you need

[indigo lintel]

U got m.2 PCIe 5.0 on the B650

[iron moth]

as a side by side comparison.

The 650E doesnt have 3,5mm jacks apparently which for me is a bummer because I like my old Headphones

[storm mason]

Can someone please help me in #1445424392124502168

[hallow jasper]

What board

[indigo lintel]

then what is this

[iron moth]

can i connect that to the front IO? because the cable isnt that long and its under the table

Also, call me stupid but i thought this kind of stuff was liek this for the Wii

[hallow jasper]

case front I/O connects to a header on the motherboard

[indigo lintel]

It should support front IO through the motherboard header

there's usually an audio connector

[hallow jasper]

go so far as to say thats standard on any board sold in the last 10 years

at least

[indigo lintel]

isnt that a hmdi to composite?

[hallow jasper]

context?

[iron moth]

the cable for the wii with those 3, looks like the cables on the back of the motherboard. I always thought it was that kind of connection with those special screw cables, not a 3,5mm jack

[iron moth]

Composite AV cable

[hallow jasper]

Ok that image above has nothing to do with PC motherboards, just so we're clear.

i'm very confused with what the problem is

[iron moth]

There isnt a problem, it was just something I thought

[indigo lintel]

Oh, you confused RCA with 3.5mm?

[iron moth]

Im still just debating between the 650E and the 840P

Yes i did. 😔

[random gyro]

so guys, on fortnite, my pc entirely shuts off when im on dx12, but is fine on dx11, what do I do? im using amd 6900xt and a ryzen 5 5600x

[indigo lintel]

update drivers

[hallow jasper]

Diagnose and troubleshoot

in #1027757333117415424

[indigo lintel]

i'd go 650e

[iron moth]

Its basically just 10€ so its kind of a pointless discussion , but im worried it might delay my PC, itd be another few days to wire the money and also wether so many faster plugs and such arent a waste if i dont have anything to use them with anyway

[random gyro]

how?

[high elm]

google

amd website

[random gyro]

my gpu drivers are updated

[indigo lintel]

what PSU do you have?

have u touched overclocking?

[native path]

As I recommended (and I stand by it), stick to whatever you have

[random gyro]

yeah i overclocked my cpu in my bios like once

[storm mason]

Can someone please help me in #1445424392124502168

[native path]

Since your 1070 isn't working anymore I'm presuming you want your computer to come even quicker now, no point in doing something that would delay that

[random gyro]

750w evga

[hallow jasper]

@random gyro you're asking a lot, just understand that. Its clear your knowledge level is very low if you're asking how to update drivers and thats fine, everyone starts somewhere. But what you're asking is for someone to, from scratch, try to remotely diagnose and test random shutdown issue over discord on a PC they can't see or touch. And the only person that can, doens't really understand many basics so they can't quickly answer questions. Its just asking a lot for a person to dedicate the time to walk you though this correctly.

Correctly being the key word there, as you'll be sure to get plenty of random guesses from people that think "they had the same problem"

[random gyro]

I could tell you the error my pc says when it shuts down but I dont think youd be able to diagnose from that

[hallow jasper]

So head to #1027757333117415424 and hope someone is willing to dive in

As this is not the channel for it

[random gyro]

alr

[cosmic stratus]

.... ok so why are we making a 3 day oled reviews, is this a joke

[hallow jasper]

Or i guess just keep throwing out random unrelated things and taking people's guesses, that works too

[drifting urchin]

what do you guys figure is the truth when it comes to "holiday tech sales" that before dec 25th is the better sales? or some claim afterwords, boxing day 26th and jan feb is the correct time to make purchases

im curious what side of coin you land on with that

[deft widget]

w or l

[indigo lintel]

EVGA = Big W

[deft widget]

yes

[iron moth]

I can understand both opinions and im honestly torn. Maybe Ill call and invest it if it doesnt mean delaying it or extra costs besides the part. But since i never overclocked a CPU before anyway, i think im just gonna stick with the 840 For now. I mean I did save 120€ on it, so if i need to upgrade it later I can just invest that money I saved into a 650E or maybe even something better. And if i go with that route, having 2 AM5 MBs might be a backup anyway. Thank you @hallow jasper @indigo lintel @native path

[grizzled frost]

only half the memory channels filled, major L

[deft widget]

no w

[indigo lintel]

sure thing

[hallow jasper]

Also B650E was always a bit pointless. B650 was all anyone ever needed, or B850

[iron moth]

I like the colour scheme and the EVGA parts

I still dont know what the difference between the E and M and PLus and all that means. I never looked into motherboards whatsoever, When I chose it i just went "oh it has a lot of USB ports and its not tiny. And its cheap." 🤷‍♂️

[cosmic stratus]

and my shit is a server cpu, I should be ashamed
