why is ram so expensive now?

Here's my build budget is $700 and the only thing I couldn't find it a good or decent price is a ram but aside from that how good is my build?

When windows boots up a 5050 I’m pretty sure it says “I’d have preferred a 1080ti”

So I'm getting some mixed results is there anything that's changed or make better?

It all depends what your budget is

gonna swap this into my lian li a3 and put in the 7900xt whichll make for a good looking pc imo

This build is based on a configuration I reviewed a while ago, which I recently completed.

Personally, I’ve always liked Noctua fans and have used them for a long time in my workstation cooling setups.

After the release of the Noctua NH-D15 G2 and NF-A14x25 G2, I went with the Antec Flux case, which features a striking wooden front panel.

is performance on linux worse

#

on cs2 im running the native versiion i get about 200-260 fps while on windows i was getting 300-360

tepid kelp
#

Arguably performance is better bc theirs less overhead compared to windows bloat

#

But it's also less optimised if at all

jaunty apex
#

Depends on the game and configuration. DXVK translation layer itself has some overhead, that said CS2 is native on linux iirc

If you've used next.js probably update it. No idea who that is but I mean it's a real CVE so

My motherboard did a bio update and I went from not having pcie 5.0 to suddenly having pcie 5.0… on a pcie 4.0 board… how is this possible?

clear canyon
#

huh?

quasi field

It’s a B650 board from late 2024

clear canyon
#

if the pcie slot was 4.0, its not physically possible to increase its speed

That’s what i thought

But it suddenly became pcie 5.0 after a bios update

#

I have proof too

then update it

random gyro
#

Don’t remember how to

#

I might genuinely be a idiot

#

I need a harddrive right?

clear canyon
#

get a usb drive, go to google and search up your board and find the list of bios updates, you have a 5600x so you wont need to worry about it removing compatibility with your cpu

random gyro
#

Luckily for me I have a usb drive I use daily

clear canyon
#

download it to ur usb, then go back into bios and find the "EZ flash" option in the Tool tab and select the bios update file and it will do its own thing

random gyro
#

Ight thanks

clear canyon
#

dont turn off the pc or do anything while it installs or you will brick ur pc

random gyro
#

If my pc explodes I blame you ❤️‍🩹

clear canyon

wont be my fault lol

random gyro

Is there a way to see the last time I’ve updated bios?

clear canyon
#

find the bios version and compare it to the current listings

random gyro
#

04/18

clear canyon
#

yeah its old

random gyro
clear canyon
#

bitlocker if enabled will lock your drive to your system, so if you get a new motherboard or cpu, it will not be able to access that drives data

random gyro
clear canyon
#

updating bios risks wiping that encryption key which is why you see that warning

clear canyon
random gyro

#

you likely dont need bitlocker

clear canyon
#

dont turn it on

random gyro
clear canyon
#

yeah, ur good

random gyro
#

so format32 fat, take the zipped file and put it in? or do I unzip it on the drive?

clear canyon
#

I store the zipped and nonzipped version when I do the update as Id rather do both instead of get it wrong and go back to do the opposite of what ever is there

random gyro
#

will it affect anything?

clear canyon
#

you will only get 1 option so its no big deal

it's possible dude, on certain am4 mobo's a bios update put the pcie 3.0 into pcie 4.0 and then a bios update later put it back to pcie 3.0

but it wont go to 3200mhz nor 3600

looking to upgrade from a ps5 to an xbox. Struggling to decide on which xbox to get between the s and x. Besides the X having a disk drive, more space, and being able to run games at 4k what really is the big difference? On my ps5 i have found that every game I have are rather digital so it may be more fit to buy the series x just based off that

Since we're on the topic of rams, can someone tell me how to approach this issue in a logical way?
I have 2 sets of Corsair Vengeance 32GB DDR5 6000MHz CL30 Dual channel.
I've had one for one year now, and now I bought a second set.
Each set works fine on its own. They're both detected and they can both be set to Expo mode.
However, if I try to run with them at the same time, the system crashes. It doesn't get to post.
And if by some miracle it passes the post, it freezes when loading windows.

I've asked aroud on the forums, and someone gave me their timings to try out, but it didn't work
I reckon guess work isn't going to go far here. I need to understand how to select my timings and voltages.

My setup consists of a modern coloured CRT with up to 1280 by 960 resolution, a high end Pentium 100 MHz, Nvidia graphics, imagine being able to render a pdf document in less than half a minute, not everyone can do that, a lot of RAM, specifically 32 MB, 32 whole megabytes, can you believe that? And of course a high capacity 1.2 GB storage drive. Oh and I didn't mention the high end stereo speakers, you know, it's amazing that you can use a single cable to get this good surround sound with this new technology, they even have volume and bass control built into the front, actual bass, not just some mudding, but an actual variable bass. Can you all imagine that? Probably not, you're probably still running old 486s...
