What about the one im pointing

#

Whats that used for

devout ridge
#

That's a PCIex1 connector

torpid blaze
#

Ah what is its use

devout ridge
#

any PCIE card that uses a x1 interface

#

It functions identically to a standard PCIE x16 slot, it just has less bandwidth available

torpid blaze
#

Ahh that makes sense so i can put something like a ssd adapter to it right but it wont be as fast

devout ridge
#

Correct

#

It'll still be a lot faster than a SATA drive, so it can be worth it

torpid blaze
#

Thats cool i can use that as a secondary without having to remove my other m.2

devout ridge
#

Mhm

#

Well, double check it isn't shared with that m.2

#

Sometimes PCIE Slots can share bandwidth with the M.2, so if you use the PCIE slot it might disable the M.2

#

Should be in the motherboard manual

torpid blaze
#

I noticed i have a 4pin connecter on the other side

#

Or would i need an adapter for a molex

#

Or whatever is common

devout ridge
#

Molex fans have to use Molex, you should get 4 pin fans though

#

molex fans are loud, as they can only run at 100%

civic reef
#

Just reminded me

#

I found an RGB Molex fan in my closet yesterday

#

Gonna hook it up and see what it's all about

#

Nevermind I don't have Molex

#

I mistook my PATA for Molex

edgy laurel
#

you have molex, everyone does if its a custom PSU (not from an OEM)

Unofficial AMD FSR4 support for Radeon RX 7000 thanks to leaked files When AMD accidentally released the source code of FSR4, it included an option that modders quickly picked up and implemented where AMD had left it. This concerns the INT8 (8-bit integer) version of FSR4, which was mistakenly published. AMD rushed to remove the […]

#

Whats the point

shell void
#

there is none which is why AMD hasn’t done it themselves

RDNA3 was EOL two years after release

i feel bad for people who bought 7900XT and 7900XTX

Uuuhhh as an owner of one, I... Literally don't care about it anyway. Lol.

you can get improved image quality at native res (fsr 4 native >>> TAA) or better performance with upscaling

i would be pissed if i kept my 7900XTX

Question: are there any other sites aside from PCPP that you can see completed builds based on parts used?

Looking for more completed builds with black cases with all white parts (mobo,gpu, AIO) etc

youtube reviews etc

but if you mean with an official sorting option then no afaik

I’ve been all over YouTube looking for it. Not a fan of Reddit.

I don't post on reddit generally, but if I need to look shit up or reference things?

I'll absolutely use it

edgy laurel
#

opposed to reddit for simply looking up pictures is the weirdest part

nothing offers what PCPP offers for picking key parts and seeing other builds built around it

I remember in the later 2010s gigabyte made some of the ugliest boards
MSI was pretty bad too

Then I guess they hired a bunch of designers around 2020 and it freaking worked

you should try your hardest to get on AM5 instead of buying into AM4

if you have to get something like an i5 12600k and b760 board instead then that would still be preferable over AM4

Worm do I get iPhone 13 pro max for 350 with me having to replace the battery included, 15 with a new battery for 420 or 15 pro max for 550

15 with new battery for 420 is probs the sweet spot and should be a decent jump over the 13 one would think

200mhz on both isnt the end of the world and its a min max either way if your chip just wont do 34

Which one of my computers is the best:

HP EliteBook 840 G6, Intel i5-8265U with Intel UHD 620, 32 GB RAM (think DDR4), 1 TB SSD.

Medion Akoya E4200 D (MD8359), AMD Athlon II X4 640 and AMD Radeon HD6450 DirectX 11, 4 GB DDR3 RAM, 1 TB HDD.

Fujitsu Siemens T-Bird, Intel Pentium 4 Willamette, some Nvidia graphics card, 256 MB SDRAM, 80 GB HDD (am a bit unsure, think it is tho).

Some Highscreen stationary, Intel Pentium 100 MHz, 32 MB RAM (originally 16 MB, I believe), 1.2 GB HDD.
