#

oh it has the push down kind

granite dirge
#

I don't know

edgy laurel
#

kinda like a RAM slot, just pushes down to release the little foot on the card

#

to remove it

#

you could always remove the card entirely and use the CPU's onboard graphics through the motherboard to test that the system at least works

granite dirge
#

I can't touch the slot to try and remove it

#

I'm trying to find the latch thing and I can't touch it

#

Is the latch supposed to like spring down?

#

Even with the GPU out I still get a white lightm

#

And nothing on the HDMI in the back

#

I'm on am5 if that means anything... And I'm just like not sure what else to do

edgy laurel
#

with the GPU fully removed from the case and your monitor connected to the motherboard, still no image out and white VGA light?

granite dirge
#

Yes

edgy laurel
#

rip, thats weird

granite dirge
edgy laurel
#

what CPU was this again?

topaz veldt
#

Clear CMOS

granite dirge
#

9600x

topaz veldt
#

What board

granite dirge
#

And I don't know what that is snail

edgy laurel
#

ROG STRIX B850-F GAMING WIFI

granite dirge
#

That one

topaz veldt
#

Ok not a bios issue

granite dirge
#

I can't get to the bios snail I haveno graphic output

#

@granite dirge swap ur ram around

edgy laurel
#

press and hold, press and hold

granite dirge
#

While on?

arctic bronze
#

iv had ram be mean to me for no reason in the past

arctic bronze
topaz veldt
granite dirge
#

I have other ram

#

But it's less capacity

arctic bronze
granite dirge
#

No team group and gskill 32 gb kits 6000 ddr5

arctic bronze
#

try the cmos, if that does not work, just try swapping the sticks around

#

and try the other 2 slots

granite dirge
#

But it said to use these slots?

arctic bronze
#

ram can be like that some times

granite dirge
#

Huh

#

The heck are you talking about

#

I'm more confused now

edgy laurel
#

when troubleshooting, you have to just try things and hope for a different outcome. this is how you learn more about whats going on

arctic bronze
granite dirge
#

And white light again after trying your cmos button thing that I don't even. Know if I held it long enough or how the button would work if it was off and unplugged.

arctic bronze
#

try ram

grizzled lily
#

šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

granite dirge
#

I still am getting no where trying single sticks in the slots it says to on the board

grizzled lily
#

hot take 9070xt will handle gta 6 1440 p maxed out...

arctic bronze
#

try the other 2 slots

granite dirge
#

I literally am trying all the ram stuff I'm working on it

arctic bronze
granite dirge
#

I'm sorry that I'm trying to do what your saying when I barely understand what you want

arctic bronze
brisk jolt
edgy laurel
grizzled lily
#

i will explain a1 and a2

arctic bronze
granite dirge
#

Right now I'm struggling to line a stick up in the first slot.

arctic bronze
granite dirge
#

very hard to do in a cramped case next to a dual tower

arctic bronze
#

ĀÆ_(惄)_/ĀÆ

granite dirge
#

And now the ram light is on without the PC being turned on when I put them in slot a1 and a2.

heavy spire
# granite dirge

Not sure if I'm just getting old, but it kind of looks like there are no case standoffs under the motherboard

arctic bronze
#

let it sit for a bit

granite dirge
arctic bronze
granite dirge
heavy spire
#

Should be fine if its not touching the case I guess

granite dirge
arctic bronze
granite dirge
#

How is it memory training if the light was on before the PC was turned on?

arctic bronze
#

idk about that light when its off but now it should be memory training

granite dirge
#

How long does this training take?

arctic bronze
#

iv had them take like 3 min

heavy spire
#

After a cmos reset or first boot it can take a bit longer

arctic bronze
granite dirge
#

This literally has all been trying to get a first boot of the mother board and no

#

The fans have been the same quiet this whole time.

arctic bronze
granite dirge
#

9600x

arctic bronze
#

it shouldnt be a bios version issue

granite dirge
#

I also have a I think 9700x in the box behind me

#

I bought a new CPU and mobo as my last mobo was giving this

arctic bronze
granite dirge
arctic bronze
granite dirge
#

Cause this whole time it's been unplugged

arctic bronze
#

like completely out?

granite dirge
#

For about 30 mins

dapper junco
#

is there a middle state between plugged in and removed?

granite dirge
arctic bronze
dapper junco
#

yea, she removed the gpu for about 30 mins

granite dirge
#

And the PC still is doing nothing

arctic bronze
granite dirge
#

Ok but... Should I try a different set of ram?

arctic bronze
#

or you can try putting the ram back in the original 2 slots but swap the sticks around

granite dirge
#

Or like in the slots the manual I had recommended.

#

What do you want me to do your telling me several things.

heavy spire
arctic bronze
arctic bronze
granite dirge
#

I'm going to waste so much thermal compound....

fringe fossil
arctic bronze
#

it does not take much

pure garnet
#

a lot of boards won’t post until they detect a display, just try using a displayport monitor with the gpu installed

granite dirge
#

I literally had to repaste it to install so now if I swap to the new CPU that's more thermal compound

pure garnet
#

before pulling apart the cpu and stuff

arctic bronze
#

also you can just leave the paste on the cooler

granite dirge
#

My monitor is a tv no display port

pure garnet
#

you don’t own a single monitor?

granite dirge
#

No

pure garnet
#

wild

heavy spire
#

Dont need to go crazy with thermalpaste when you're just trying to make it boot. I usually just place the cooler ontop of the CPU with some old, stuck cooler paste if I'm swapping around stuff to check if it boots

pure garnet
granite dirge
#

I'm getting overwhelmed with all the people....

oak vector
#

Wsg tc2

arctic bronze
granite dirge
#

Well now ram light is on and staying on with a gskill set in the proper slots per the manual it came with.. and the new CPU inside

#

Ever since you had me do the button for cmos and weird stuff with the ram sricks. now it's just doing stuff with the ram lights

#

Still no output on the HDMI on the back of the motherboard. And still the ram light

fringe fossil
#

Might be training pepenoted give it like 10

granite dirge
#

10?

#

They said 3 earlier?

fringe fossil
#

10 minutes then restart it

heavy spire
#

Just to make sure, you're making sure the ram is properly seated right? Able to hook the latch into the sticks?

granite dirge
#

Hook the latch huh?

#

I press till I got a click

heavy spire
#

Spent hours helping people troubleshoot issues only for it to be a ramstick that wasnt seated properly

granite dirge
#

I genuinely don't even know anymore and am second guessing myself on everything now and am losing my confidence and my sanity.

heavy spire
granite dirge
#

Looks in i think

heavy spire
granite dirge
#

Well it's been 8 mins and nothing has happened yet I guess turn it off again? I dunno.

fringe fossil
#

Go for a quick restart then wait a couple works occasionally

granite dirge
#

A quick restart?

#

I don't have the windows restart button

fringe fossil
#

Oh I mean just hard shutdown and a restart

#

Hold the power button then wait for everything to turn off then press it again

granite dirge
#

So far still nothing... Just the same ram light on. Since they had me fiddling with the cmos button

#

Before that it was a gpu light.

#

So like I feel like I'm going backwards.

fringe fossil
#

Squash one issue then another rears its ugly head really sucks I know there’s been a lot of us but we r trying 🫔

granite dirge
#

But we didn't squash anything

fringe fossil
#

Feels like that yeah

heavy spire
granite dirge
#

No it's not a feels like it is

heavy spire
#

Maybe try the cmos button again now that you got a new kit in. Just make sure its turned off when you do it

#

Hopefully not a corrupted bios or a hardware issue

granite dirge
#

I don't know how the bios could be corrupted I've never booted it.

heavy spire
#

Bios can be weird

granite dirge
#

Also when I hold it how long is it to be held?

heavy spire
#

Just need to press it for a second or so

granite dirge
#

Last one I did a count of 24.

#

And still nothing no ramping up of the fans just a steady pace

#

Should I try ram kit 3? Or the original kit with the new CPU?

heavy spire
#

Would be strange if the board has issues with 2x kits

granite dirge
#

It's been 2 CPU 2 kits of ram..

#

Now turning it off to try the original kit with the new CPU .

#

I don't even have my GPU plugged in anymore

fringe fossil
#

I came into this a bit blind sorry about that… let’s just try with the new cpu and the same ram kit(the original kit). Reset the cmos… hold it down for a solid minute

granite dirge
#

Ok got to bios screen now

fringe fossil
#

Oh nvm

#

Hurray!

granite dirge
#

Well a splash screen

heavy spire
#

Nice, progress

granite dirge
#

And... Now nothing

#

Ok. Bios.... I think?

arctic bronze
#

you think?

granite dirge
#

I don't know what any of this means

arctic bronze
heavy spire
#

Ah, the normal tpm whine

fringe fossil
#

That’s normal

heavy spire
#

Press Y

granite dirge
#

So what do I pick

arctic bronze
#

press Y

heavy spire
#

You always get that message when you swap CPU

granite dirge
#

So it brought me to a windows screen so now shut down and try putting my gpu in?

heavy spire
#

If you're using the CPU you're supposed to yeah

#

With normal paste etc peeposip

granite dirge
#

Well I wanted to try and return the new CPU if I didn't need it but this is the only config that worked. So I don't know any this point.

arctic bronze
#

and try that other cpu

#

if you want to

granite dirge
#

I don't know how to get to bios...

#

But I opened the box for the CPU so I don't know if best buy will take it as a return.

arctic bronze
#

reset pc, spam the button it tells you to press, its normally DEL or f11

deft lily
#

i think they would

heavy spire
arctic bronze
heavy spire
#

Or F2 I guess

granite dirge
deft lily
#

should be fine

arctic bronze
deft lily
#

I think Linus covered when he bought an am4 cpu from best buy and it was delidded and replaced with an am2 or am3

#

so they must have some sort of return policy

edgy laurel
#

What if…

How about a brown fan blade..... And a chromax frame

#

That would pair lovely in those North Cases I would imagine

heavy spire
#

Too many moving parts, too much resistance

#

Looks nice though

teal orbit
#

how do they do the rotation

heavy spire
#

Motor(s) in the corners, fanblade is basically a big cogwheel

edgy laurel

#

Someone had to do it

granite dirge
#

And now I'm back to square one

#

9600x not working in the board stuck with white GPU light on board

#

Guess I'll undo everything ... Again and try with the 9700

fringe fossil
#

Didn’t it boot into bios?

granite dirge
#

No

#

When I put the original CPU on it did nothing

#

As I also put the GPU in like I was told to

young void
#

Lmao you guys are goobers

granite dirge
#

And now I'm back at square one where I was at 1109pm est

#

Ok so I guess it was my CPU the 9600 as with the 9700 I get this

heavy spire
#

Maybe that 9600x has some issues

granite dirge
oak vector
#

I’ve never seen that screen in green before

granite dirge
#

Now I have no clue what I'm doing in the bios

heavy spire
granite dirge
#

It put me in the bios

#

So I don't know what to do

heavy spire
#

Check the boot order if you got a drive with windows on it

#

Usually fixes itself after a restart

granite dirge
#

So now everything is green tinted?

hoary hatch
#

Holy green

granite dirge
#

And now it's not? After trying to setup my windows account

hoary hatch
#

Uhhh, if it's no longer green just roll with it
Probably fine

granite dirge
#

And it's not recognizing my Ethernet cable.

heavy spire
#

HDR monitor?

#

Might be some HDMI jank

granite dirge
#

4k hd TV 65 inch

#

But like I said it's not recognizing Ethernet now so I'm not sure

hoary hatch
#

Does it have single or dual Ethernet ports

granite dirge
#

One

hoary hatch
#

Hm

heavy spire
granite dirge
#

Trying with WiFi for now to see if then drivers will fix.

hoary hatch
#

Sorry if it's already been said but I just walked in. What's the board model #

granite dirge
#

Steix b850-f gaming wifi

heavy spire
#

Windows hates installing that driver automatically

hoary hatch
#

I225 is goated in my household
100% reliability

Cannot say the same for marvell or realtek

granite dirge
#

And balls I just realized I forgot to put in a heatsink on the m.2...

heavy spire
#

Plenty of people who have issues during windows installation because its not installing the i225 drivers automatically

hoary hatch
#

Guess I'm lucky

hoary hatch
#

Intel has just worked for lan for me

heavy spire
#

Had a realtek one act funny during P2P multiplayer, would just constantly disconnect etc so had to get a replacement for it

hoary hatch
#

Marvell drivers install with eco mode turned on which means the Ethernet just turns itself off randomly. Very cool

My one realtek experience just didn't work

merry stirrup
#

earlier i225v revisions also have a hardware flaw that stops them from working until cold boot

#

like full psu off and wait a couple seconds

brisk jolt
#

damn….

heavy spire
#

Current i225 revision is... ok. Some of them still suffers from slowdowns on highspeed connections etc, but its better than the previous 5 or whatever revisions its had

The Windows Realtek drivers have issues, or they did a year or so ago

#

Been fine so far
Whatever dual 2.5gbe realtek I bought previously just didn't wanna work with drivers

#

What actual business purpose does rebranding a realtek nic serve for intel

Curious, does anybody really play Horizon Forbidden West? Feels like a game being benchmarked just for the sake of it

# brisk jolt oh damn, is it very fun?

I enjoy it but I have many complaints

  1. intro takes way too long to get through
  2. the grind is a real slog (moreso than the first game)
  3. the controls are inexplicably changed from the first game and I cannot seem to fully revert them (it is impossible to stop accidentally rolling as far as I am concerned)
#

Otherwise the story is fine. It just more horizon
And as someone who hasn't played HZD remastered version, wow is HFW beautiful

@edgy laurel Remember like a month ago when I wanted to get a TPM 2.0 module to run BF6?

#

Then both you & Kyoko pointed out how dumb of an idea it was?

edgy laurel
#

Vaguely, but i'm sure there was more to that

civic reef
#

This is mostly a summary lol

#

I wanted to run BF6 on an i7 4770 machine

edgy laurel
#

Oh, right

civic reef
#

So I wanted to get a TPM 2.0 module to run it

#

Guess what
I am doing something similar but not exactly the same

#

Instead of getting a module; I am just getting something that has TPM 2.0 built in :3c

#

R7 2700 & X570

edgy laurel
#

well that at least meets minimum system requirements

pure garnet
#

what happened the am5 list like a week ago

edgy laurel
civic reef
#

That wasn't me I believe?

civic reef
#

5700 XT & 2700

#

Also, buying the X570 new
Would've gotten a B450 or B550, but the former only has very eh options available, and the latter has one singular eh option available for the price of an X570

edgy laurel
#

I didn't think fTPM was in Zen+ but might be wrong

#

haven't looked in a while

pure garnet
civic reef
#

Also, what do you think I should do with my i7 4770 stuff now?

pure garnet
civic reef
#

Turn it into a very basic gaming machine with a PCIe power card for multiplayer, or basic server, or?

pure garnet
#

it would do jellyfin i think

#

haswell igpu is a bit annoying but it’s doable

civic reef
#

Not iGPU

#

I did state that a PCIe power card would be added

pure garnet
#

the only redeeming quality of that cpu is its igpu

#

because of quicksync support

#

a low power pcie card is just a waste of money

civic reef
#

I mean, not going to pay more than like $50

#

Could wait for a well priced 1650

#

-Or 1050 Ti

#

That's one option btw, second option is a home server

pure garnet
#

there is 0 point in spending $50 on something when you have the igpu for any sever stuff for free

civic reef
#

Fair enough

#

Though the 1650 was intended for playing Source / lower intensity titles

#

Eh, I'll just keep the critter around in the old ASUS board box I have lying around

pure garnet
#

you should build 1 good pc before spinning off side systems

civic reef
#

I mean
I am stupid, but not stupid enough to build secondary systems whilst mine is going to be running on a GPU box with a SATA drive

#

I've still gotta buy a case, boot NVMe, monitor, and keyboard

green marsh
# merry stirrup

i totally plan to replace connect-x 3 with a 10gbe RTL8127 card. Cause 1.7W peak power usage and ASPM support, unlike the connect x-3 card, which has higher power usage and no ASPM

civic reef
#

THEN I can even start to think about making a spinoff system with the Haswell i7

#

Oh this is interesting
DX12 support, though Dx11_1 feature set?

#

Damn, the HD 4600 on this is better than I expected lmao

civic reef

Cheapest thing I could find with USB-C & 3x top fan support

but anyways cpu voltages kinda just do the thing or they don’t in my limited experience so far

The SA and IMC I need for 8400 work for 8800

Only voltage that changes is ram VDDQ

#

9k for me is just blind firing

66 booted

so yeah the ocf wouldn’t twr

no voltage i touch stops it from erroring in like <1m

I got an error 58 mins in at 8800 and was like ā€œayo wtfā€

set that shit to 66 and it went 2.5 hours
