Anyone know how to fix a problem with PC randomly freezing and becoming fully unresponsive when gaming. And how would one manage to fix the issue

young void
edgy laurel
#

lot of troubleshooting. trial and error

#

unfortunately that (like most things) doesn't just have a single cause and single solution

obsidian bluff
edgy laurel
#

you can save yourself a lot of time by starting with a fresh BIOS update, fresh windows install, fresh drivers and only the hardware installed/plugged in necessary for running the game.

steel stream
#

i can't argue with that because I picked this game up on wednesday

topaz veldt
#

You know whats funny about selling 265k? Its supposed to be a quicksync Plex server but it turned into an SFF plex server that has a 5090 for gaming

I was disguising it as a courteous gesture

steel stream

the best feeling in the world is driving somewhere with a 2" scraped hole in your windshield and tons of snow on top of your car

when it's like 0 degrees out

#

why cant I get 240 fps in fortnite on a 6900xt and a ryzen 5 5600x 💔

pure garnet
#

because the hardware can’t generate frames fast enough to display that many

arctic bronze
#

and ur on a 5600x

#

if you want 240fps, ur gonna need to be on performance settings at 1080p and have FSR on

dapper marten
#

@brave rock okay I don't have another one, what I'll do is I'll back up my install of windows 11, and I mean every on the drive and then I'll reinstall windows on the new SSD

#

assuming it works like that

brave rock
dapper marten
#

i decided I'll get a 1tb m.2 sata (don't have it yet I'll buy it during boxing Day sales) and I'll replace the current one

#

as I only have 1 m.2 port

I dont bother clipping val now cause replay system

brisk jolt

both of them are very similarly full of shit

#

I used the replay system to prove my fkin point and they still made excuses

#

Like its was so fucking stupid I went to start studying afterwards for 4 hours straight

Okay I've decided to try and sell my i7 4770, board, and 16gb rather than make it into a basic secondary gaming machine

civic prairie
#

so i want to get a good oled monitor with 500hz 27 inch the link i sent says its a 27 inch but in the product info says 26.5 inch at 480

https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Swift-Gaming-Monitor-PG27AQDP/dp/B0D7NXSQ44

lethal topaz
civic prairie
civic prairie
#

this makes nosence says 27 but display size is 26.5

#

so its not truely 27 inch

civic prairie
#

is this the best oled right now

#

until new gen

lethal topaz
#

the one you are looking for isnt on us amazon rn. i saw its on bestbuy though, might be on newegg too

lethal topaz
#

also has a new coating on it that seems quite good

civic prairie
lethal topaz
#

whatever you want, im waiting mainly because of the coating on the monitor

#

trueblack glossy

civic prairie
#

and the one i picked doesnt?

lethal topaz
#

nah

snow holly
#

This is insane

civic prairie
#

but is this the best oled on the market or theres something better at 1440p 27

lethal topaz
civic prairie
#

so many brands asus LG AOC ETC

lethal topaz
#

theres definitely better priced oleds

civic prairie
lethal topaz
#

if you are after raw specs i dont think there is anything quite better unless you are looking at TN panels at 1080p

civic prairie
#

i just want something good for gaming tbh

lethal topaz
#

what do you have now

civic prairie
#

i see oled is the new thing im currently on a asus tuff gaming 27 inch 280 OC

brisk jolt
civic prairie

civic prairie

#

idk the model name bcs they have a fuckass naming scheme

low sorrel
#

Is that the one

civic prairie
#

doesnt 4k tank my fps

#

or not anymore

low sorrel
#

More pixels more better less frames

brisk jolt
civic prairie
#

since 4k has more pixels

lethal topaz
low sorrel
#

Bitch you have a 5090 just get fucking 4k so your shit looks the best you can

civic prairie
#

alrighty

lethal topaz
#

yeah 720hz 720p is so ass

#

540hz 1440p is still amazing tho

low sorrel
#

540hz 1440p on the other hand...

civic prairie
lethal topaz
#

the coating looks so fucking good

low sorrel
#

Sure then get it if all you play is CS and Val

civic prairie
#

i dont think i will notice anything higher then 500 tbh

lethal topaz
#

and some early tests indicate it may actually be 0.02ms instead of 0.03

#

but who cares about a hundredth of a ms

#

funny number go down

civic prairie
lethal topaz
#

#

thank you south korean duopoly 🇰🇷

civic prairie
lethal topaz
#

i think ill take the hard drive route instead

#

i need storage in my nas

#

1400$ of hdds money_spread

civic prairie
#

yeah whats with storage prices going up and ram

#

just why

lethal topaz
#

well hard drives arent so expensive

#

but the answer is ai

civic prairie
#

so my WD nvme i got is good enough or i got ripped off

#

i think i paid 2 something

#

let me check the exact price i got it for

lethal topaz
#

if you truly have fuck you money to drop on pc stuff you should look at pcie gen 5 drives

#

they are quite cool

civic prairie
#

but one thing i want to upgrade is my desk

lethal topaz
#

are you short on space?

civic prairie
#

ummm well i just like 48 no need for a bigger desk and i dont like my pc on the desk

#

i just want the countertop thick

#

lasttime i bought one from amazon it said 1.5 but when i got it was 0.5

lethal topaz
#

butcher blocks are dope then

#

i got one from home depot and refinished it

civic prairie
#

yes like that

#

what legs you got

low sorrel
# lethal topaz

should i buy this birch butcher block from costco for 150 cad

lethal topaz
#

this is 6ft x 2ft tho

civic prairie
#

its fine i just want goodd legs

lethal topaz
#

i dont like legs

low sorrel
#

how hard is it?

lethal topaz
#

either no legs or sit stand desk

#

there is no other way

low sorrel
lethal topaz
#

i just use shelf brackets rated for like 1000lbs and put some narly lagbolts into studs

#

my main setup has 2, my project setup has 4 shelf brackets

civic prairie
#

is this a good butcher jerry

#

downside is from amazon mostly cheep shit

low sorrel
#

kinda short and kinda expensive no?

lethal topaz
#

it looks nice but dont get a butcher block from amazon. see it first

civic prairie
#

where

lethal topaz
#

one of my friends has a dope one from home depot im jealous of

low sorrel
#

costco even but home depot and lowes

civic prairie
low sorrel
#

wdym

civic prairie
#

well i went to lowes and it was not thick like my current is

lethal topaz
#

dont mind the food but the butcher block is cool af

civic prairie
#

i like them like that

#

but lowes has only .7 thick

lethal topaz
#

i havent shopped at lowes in a while so i wouldnt know

civic prairie
lethal topaz
#

i only really go to lowes for decorative fixtures tbh

#

check home depots website tho

low sorrel
#

home depot def has some

civic prairie
#

nope i tried man nothing

#

i tried lowes cuz my buddy can just give me employee discount

#

but homedepo told me what ever lowes got we got a few more not too much to the size you want

low sorrel
#

first fucking result

lethal topaz
#

my local home depot has a half isle of butcher blocks

civic prairie
#

yeah i got the same and saw it in person but the thickness

lethal topaz
#

maybe you dont know what 1.5in really looks like

low sorrel
#

it's 1.5 in???

low sorrel
lethal topaz
#

unzips pants

civic prairie
#

lol

#

like this

lethal topaz
#

yeah

civic prairie
#

but it dont look like that

lethal topaz
#

send a pic of your desk

civic prairie
#

ok hold up

lethal topaz
#

the thickness of it

civic prairie
lethal topaz
#

looks like 2 in or 2.5 in

low sorrel
#

thats what she said

lethal topaz
#

thats quite thick

civic prairie
lethal topaz
civic prairie
#

but how can i get one like what i got cuz this one became with bubbles

lethal topaz
#

1.5in probably doesnt look right since its 4x2

#

if you switch to a 6x2 or perhaps 6x 2.5 it would look much better

#

i use 6x2

civic prairie
lethal topaz
#

it do look like a shitty veneer

low sorrel
#

sand it

civic prairie
#

says meterials rubber wood

low sorrel
#

rubberwood veneer

civic prairie
#

yeah so fake shit

lethal topaz
#

just build ur own desk

civic prairie
#

thats what i wanna do

lethal topaz
#

spend 600$ in walnut boards and even more in tools

civic prairie
#

where did u buy it do you have a link

lethal topaz
#

heres one of my last desks i made with walnut

lethal topaz
#

you statistically live within like 15 miles of a home depot

civic prairie
#

how do it hold up all those things and so thin

lethal topaz
#

walnut is a hard wood and not made of cardboard

#

and realistically its holding up... a keyboard... a jar.... a mouse..

civic prairie
#

so is this worth it on amazon or find the same but in costco

lethal topaz
#

you need to go feel the quality of the wood yourself

#

weight is a huge factor

#

if its light its garbage

civic prairie
#

the heavier the better right

lethal topaz
#

my butcher blocks are solid core, i have two styles. my gaming desk is a bit cheaper, but its a wood core with a thick veneer (about 1/8 in). my project desk is a traditional butcher block made of individual blocks

low sorrel
#

How would you tell if it's maple

#

Isn't maple heavy as shit anywayd

civic prairie
#

i can custom make one

lethal topaz
#

its not hard

karmic folio
lethal topaz
#

at least if you have the tools already

civic prairie
#

what are good legs i should get

civic prairie
lethal topaz
#

sit stand frame

civic prairie
lethal topaz
lethal topaz
#

this was back in 9th grade tho

#

civic prairie
#

the current one u got

lethal topaz
#

thats the butcher block

civic prairie
#

ah okay but the draws do u have or u got ridd of it

lethal topaz
#

i got rid of it

#

but it was custom made

civic prairie
#

how come u got rid of it

lethal topaz

i saw rumors of price increases coming so

i imagine they’ll be making far fewer of them if they’re gonna replace it with a 9850X3D and maybe a future 9700X3D

$100 it'll still be a stocked SKU

i’ll go buy my “cheap” tsmc lego

Mac doesn't believe in sleeps so it's ok

my machines work or they die

i use sleep all the time now that it works perfectly

turbid locust

sleep and works perfectly do not belong in the same sentence lol

edgy laurel

its weird but both machines just work. wake normally and don't randomly wake up for seemingly no reason

#

come home, i hit the power button on my LG remote and my Esc key one after the othe and rig is up and running

steel stream

my pc sleeps normally at stock settings

turbid locust

I just shut down bro

I hit power button, turn on C4, sit down, and wait maybe 10 seconds before I’m in windows like

I either shut down or leave it running

After launch AM5, 10 seconds is nothing

and you're thinking of fancy zones which seems like its out of 2005 with how it is to setup. no thanks

steel stream

or were they I should say

lethal topaz

i paid 1400

so the price is kinda nuts its like 7$ /tb

steel stream

ok yeah that's pretty good

lethal topaz
#

im hoping to sell a couple and keep only like 8-10

steel stream

I remember the days I was able to get HDDs for like 8$ /TB

#

and I bought just one

lethal topaz

i think anything under 10$/tb is really good ngl

yeah

i think im gonna have to swap out the psu on my pc and my server tho

I only use BB to buy open-box products

turbid locust
#

I’ve only made 3 significant purchases at BB

#

My C4, 5600x, and 14900k

hoary hatch
#

I've bought a couple laptops at best buy

#

My 5070ti

steel stream
#

C4 for me, but I also bought my open box AppleTV from there

hoary hatch
#

I'd be fine getting a tv or phone from best buy

#

I prefer Costco but best buy carries so many more TVs

turbid locust
#

I had to go to 2 Best Buy’s and sweet talk the manager to get them to price match microcenter for the 14900k lol

hoary hatch
#

And Costco stopped doing phones

steel stream
#

open box <48" TVs at BB seem to be mostly just returned items

lethal topaz
#

btw best buy should not be price matching during black friday deals, if you got a price match that technically wasnt allowed

steel stream
#

cause I can get them shipped

lethal topaz

corporate said so

I just had an 11.5hr error so

pure garnet

how far into the test does it just become “a matter of time” though

turbid locust

never if actually stable

#

I’ve had a 37 hour Karhu run before

pure garnet

i thought bz said at some point everything will error

#

maybe it’s like a week or two into the test idk

turbid locust

I consider 12-16 hours Karhu daily stable

Assuming y-cruncher also doesn’t error

I went back to auto subtimings with the primaries I wanted as a sanity check
