java is just outdated at this point, and dead

abstract kite Jul 29, 2020, 5:46 AM

#

Minecraft likes it

west marten Jul 29, 2020, 6:12 AM

#

hows this pc? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vXTsgJ

#

anything i should change? trying to stay around 1500

fleet canopy Jul 29, 2020, 6:13 AM

#

Do you have any Ryzen series CPU?

west marten Jul 29, 2020, 6:13 AM

#

no, my current pc is an i7-7700k'

fleet canopy Jul 29, 2020, 6:13 AM

#

Lemme check something

west marten Jul 29, 2020, 6:13 AM

#

i know i might have to update the bios

fleet canopy Jul 29, 2020, 6:14 AM

#

Yeah that's what I'm checking

west marten Jul 29, 2020, 6:16 AM

#

yeah thats fine, i saw a video on it

#

just wondering about the build itself

#

i have a 1060 atm

fleet canopy Jul 29, 2020, 6:17 AM

#

Why does literally 99% of population have the same GPU/CPU I used to have?

#

And switch to GPU/CPU I have now

#

What the hell is this insanity?

#

Anyways

west marten Jul 29, 2020, 6:18 AM

#

2070 probably best value with performance

fleet canopy Jul 29, 2020, 6:18 AM

#

Are you sure you can find/borrow a Ryzen CPU to update the bios?

#

It is

west marten Jul 29, 2020, 6:18 AM

#

also it seems you can flash it with just a usb

#

from the amd video i saw

fleet canopy Jul 29, 2020, 6:18 AM

#

Oh okay

#

That's cool

west marten Jul 29, 2020, 6:19 AM

#

i just want a non poo pc

fleet canopy Jul 29, 2020, 6:24 AM

#

I want to uh

#

Switch the case

vapid crypt Jul 29, 2020, 6:24 AM

#

Actually flashing with a USB stick applies to specific motherboards

#

Not all of them

fleet canopy Jul 29, 2020, 6:25 AM

#

But I am not sure what case however

vapid crypt Jul 29, 2020, 6:25 AM

#

And don't buy a graphics card now, we're gonna see new cards in 2 months

fleet canopy Jul 29, 2020, 6:25 AM

#

The Focus G seems fairly nicer than the one you picked, but the cable management can be considered ehh

west marten Jul 29, 2020, 6:26 AM

#

what will the prices be compared to these current ones

#

i have around 1500 bucks to spend on a new pc

fleet canopy Jul 29, 2020, 6:26 AM

#

The prices should not be too much more different

#

Now I'd recommend checking out B550

#

It would help in the long term solution imo

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6gMTQq

vapid crypt Jul 29, 2020, 6:28 AM

#

Also for the cooler, I would say ditch it. Either spend more for a 240mm or better, or just commit to a solid air cooler

fleet canopy Jul 29, 2020, 6:28 AM

#

Case changed to Focus G, SSD is now Sabrent Rocket 256GB NVME M.2, HDD changed from 1TB to 2TB with no price difference :)

#

Not all of it. Just mean the HDD switch gives no price difference as well as the SSD

#

I guess for a cooler, I could recommend a Noctua NH-U14S

vapid crypt Jul 29, 2020, 6:32 AM

#

Um so for big air coolers, you need to consider the clearance with the case

#

So you can't go slapping a cooler into whatever then you find out you gotta remove a fan or the panel just doesn't fit PirateSimon

fleet canopy Jul 29, 2020, 6:33 AM

#

Well I know that

vapid crypt Jul 29, 2020, 6:33 AM

#

That cougar case has a clearance of 160mm

fleet canopy Jul 29, 2020, 6:33 AM

#

I checked, it should fit the cooler

#

I switched the case to Focus G

#

Better airflow, reviews say the cable management isn't the best but then again I have a cable management that would kind of make people cry

vapid crypt Jul 29, 2020, 6:36 AM

#

I dunno I would just look at something that's at a higher price tier

fleet canopy Jul 29, 2020, 6:36 AM

#

Hm?

vapid crypt Jul 29, 2020, 6:36 AM

#

Its worth it for a nicer case sometimes

fleet canopy Jul 29, 2020, 6:36 AM

#

Yeah

#

Meshify C I guess?

vapid crypt Jul 29, 2020, 6:37 AM

#

Next step up would be around $100 ish

fleet canopy Jul 29, 2020, 6:37 AM

#

Great case for 100$

vapid crypt Jul 29, 2020, 6:37 AM

#

It should be $80 but that's how it goes

fleet canopy Jul 29, 2020, 6:37 AM

#

Eh

#

Still pretty good for its price at least

#

Anything for the motherboard or still no?

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PjzFvW

vapid crypt Jul 29, 2020, 6:42 AM

#

B550 Aorus Elite, B550 Gaming Plus, these are pretty good boards

#

Twice the price, but way better than that entry level micro board from Asrock

fleet canopy Jul 29, 2020, 6:43 AM

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HWkgGc added 3 fans, don't really know if it's too necessary

vapid crypt Jul 29, 2020, 6:43 AM

#

The Meshify comes with 2 or 3 I think

#

Oh just 2

#

It does benefit from filling out the front there so

fleet canopy Jul 29, 2020, 6:44 AM

#

So I guess just one or two if he wants to also install one top

vapid crypt Jul 29, 2020, 6:45 AM

#

Since those are 140mm you can only fit two at the front

#

So the one pre-installed could be re-purposed then

fleet canopy Jul 29, 2020, 6:45 AM

#

Of course

vapid crypt Jul 29, 2020, 6:45 AM

#

At the same time for Arctic fans, their P fans are better for static pressure

fleet canopy Jul 29, 2020, 6:46 AM

#

Switch it out for P140 then?

vapid crypt Jul 29, 2020, 6:46 AM

#

Which might not better as a chassis fan, but considering it would most likely be used as intake

#

P14 PWM PST

#

Technically the Bionix fans are the same fan with a different frame

brisk badger Jul 29, 2020, 6:48 AM

#

there is good reason why minecraft is built on java. a major one is modding

fleet canopy Jul 29, 2020, 6:49 AM

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/q37pCL

#

So I guess it's done there

vapid crypt Jul 29, 2020, 6:50 AM

#

Excellent, well only thing I of course advise is not to buy a graphics card yet

fleet canopy Jul 29, 2020, 6:50 AM

#

Of course, wait for an RTX 4060 or 4070 depending on price

vapid crypt Jul 29, 2020, 6:50 AM

#

What PirateSimon

fleet canopy Jul 29, 2020, 6:51 AM

#

Or AMD may offer

#

But they usually have poo drivers

vapid crypt Jul 29, 2020, 6:51 AM

#

Well no I mean its 3000 next for Nvidia

fleet canopy Jul 29, 2020, 6:51 AM

#

Oh right

#

I thought we already had RTX 3000

vapid crypt Jul 29, 2020, 6:52 AM

#

And honestly the driver thing isn't off base, but in a lot of cases its not much worse than Nvidia driver problems. AMD is just slower at fixing problems

#

So from what we know. Nvidia cards have an alleged release date of September 17

#

AMD's is still unknown but certainly after, some time in October maybe early November

#

Should also release Zen 3 simultaneously

fleet canopy Jul 29, 2020, 6:54 AM

#

Thanks for telling me how to spell simultaneously

#

c:

vapid crypt Jul 29, 2020, 6:55 AM

#

Don't thank me

#

Thank discord for having spellcheck PirateSimon

fleet canopy Jul 29, 2020, 6:55 AM

#

I don't think spellcheck would have helped me in a million years lol

#

I always spell it "simanteously" so it's nowhere near close

snow rain Jul 29, 2020, 12:21 PM

does anybody play fortnite here if so can you tell if it sttuters or lags cause when i play sometimes the gpu usage goes down to the 20s i have a ryzen 5 3600 running on 3.9 ghz and rtx 2060 super.

brisk badger Jul 29, 2020, 12:31 PM

#

did you deinstall the gpu driver in a clean way and reinstalled it?

#

I don't play the game but can already tell that most people who will play this game does not have this issue. Would be pretty devastating for a big company like Epic 🙂

snow rain Jul 29, 2020, 12:53 PM

#

yup i did a clean installation but it didnt helped

brisk badger Jul 29, 2020, 1:06 PM

#

can you have taskmanager open on a second screen and check the gpu and cpu usage?

#

also what do you run in the background. Any antivirus or other programs?

#

tried closing discord when playing?

#

Discord and some other application use something called "Hardware Acceleration". This will use your GPU for some tasks but can cause problems in some instances when you have other 3d applications open

#

also when your pc freezes, it probably is normal that your gpu then shows 20% usage because it has nothing to do. But I am a bit confused, during a freeze there should not be anything that moves or updates, so how you know it's 20% ?

plain parcel Jul 29, 2020, 1:17 PM

#

Can someone help me with something. it isn't exactly pc build related but it's something that's been bugging me for a while

brisk badger Jul 29, 2020, 1:19 PM

#

just post your question

plain parcel Jul 29, 2020, 1:21 PM

#

My c drive says it has been filled to near capacity but I only have like big games on it and all 3 of them are less than 30 gbs so I'm confused as to how my memory is so full. Anything else I have installed are a few smaller games all less than 1 gb and in some cases a few kbs

brisk badger Jul 29, 2020, 1:22 PM

#

windows and applications may create files themselves that can fill your drive.

#

if you want to find out where big files are hidden you can give this little tool a try (I love it and does the job very well getting an overview of your drive): https://windirstat.net/

#

windows has a hidden folder called "Appdata" And I do suspect that there is a lot of (big) files in there

#

if you need assistance getting the tool running; let me know

plain parcel Jul 29, 2020, 1:27 PM

#

Yeah appdata is taking like 50 gb

#

There's some folder called packages

#

there's something called <files>

#

what is that

#

It's taking 23 gb

#

nvm apparently if I delete it something bad happens

#

on to the next

brisk badger Jul 29, 2020, 1:35 PM

#

"packages" may be stuff from microsoft stores (Store Apps).
I do not recommend to blindly remove stuff but if you know that certain files are not needed you can remove them

#

<files> may be all files together, dunno

plain parcel Jul 29, 2020, 1:36 PM

#

Ah yes, must delete system32 for more space

void perch Jul 29, 2020, 1:36 PM

#

you can also run disk cleanup which will find unused files and windows update temp files that can be safely removed

plain parcel Jul 29, 2020, 1:37 PM

#

Hey guys Im on my phone, my computer just went black screen

brisk badger Jul 29, 2020, 1:38 PM

#

plain parcel Jul 29, 2020, 1:39 PM

#

xD

#

Anyway ty

brisk badger Jul 29, 2020, 1:40 PM

#

no problem. do the disk cleanup tho it surely gets rid of temp files

plain parcel Jul 29, 2020, 1:40 PM

#

Yeah just used it

brisk badger Jul 29, 2020, 1:40 PM

#

and with windirstats you can dig a bit deeper and find out where there are big files

merry bay Jul 29, 2020, 3:21 PM

#

used to recommend windirstats too, great tool. But recently ran into a more modern UI free variant - TreeSize. It works faster and a bit more easier to read. Biggest difference you can only select one drive at a time.

#

📎 unknown.png

#

really like how you can see sizes at a glance. No need to look back and forth

late sorrel Jul 29, 2020, 3:34 PM

#

space sniffer is also nice

#

considering it gives you a more visual view of sizes

brisk badger Jul 29, 2020, 4:59 PM

#

awesome! I check them both out. yea windirstats is quite old and so is the UI

bright shard Jul 29, 2020, 6:33 PM

#

i really like windirstat tbh, that volume map is cool as hell.

merry bay Jul 29, 2020, 6:39 PM

#

I'm surprised people prefer navigating via the map. TreeSize can make one too, along with some tinkering options. Haven't explored them much though

#

📎 unknown.png

#

The big drive for my switch was its speed. windirstat took over 2.5minutes to index all my drives before I could use it.
TreeSize took just a few seconds and thats for an HDD.

lilac geyser Jul 29, 2020, 6:45 PM

#

i love the blocky view in windirstat, here's mine

#

📎 unknown.png

#

the highlighted part is my steam directory

merry bay Jul 29, 2020, 6:47 PM

#

it looks better for sure, more clear sections

#

windirstat looking better I mean

lilac geyser Jul 29, 2020, 6:49 PM

#

yeah i love how the sections that are a big square are directories, rather than all the files in random order

#

really lets you see the relative size of things

#

and when it comes tome to clear out space for a new game or something you can focus on the largest offenders first

bright shard Jul 29, 2020, 6:52 PM

#

it is quite literally, information at a glance.

merry bay Jul 29, 2020, 6:56 PM

#

the times I use it, I'm actually looking for the unnecessary semi-small fry. Like installers, redist packages, caches, leftover files from an uninstall or folder full of 5-40MB files that amount to a few gigs and aren't relevant to keep anymore.

#

the big ones are kind of known already. I know which of my games take up more than 30GB(too many these days)

#

the first run like that might be slow, but the subsequent checks you kind of learn your system well and know what to expect. Being quick and snappy about it

hey guys my friend wants a good laptop for gaming/work and he was looking into this one https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/asus-rog-strix-g15-15-6-gaming-laptop-intel-core-i5-10300h-512gb-ssd-8gb-ram-geforce-gtx-1650-ti/14583635

#

keep in mmind thats in CDN

#

is that good or would you suggest something better

lilac geyser Jul 30, 2020, 3:56 AM

#

it does seem value oriented which is ok since i don't think the price is a rip-off, but im not sure if its a good deal or not compared to similar laptops. it should play games at medium/high, not ultra

#

taking it to the office though.... idk its pretty gamerized

#

compared to the other laptops in the G15 line that one is the least powerful they offer

restive garnet Jul 30, 2020, 4:10 AM

#

i havent looked at the price, and likely wont due to my unfamiliarity with laptop prices across regions

#

but in terms of specs, itll only really handle light gaming at best

#

8gb of ram is pretty much the bare minimum at the moment, and id be tempted to get a slightly higher end gpu as well

#

a 1650 to run a 144hz display just seems wrong to me

#

plus only a 512gb ssd for storage means you would have to be a bit more sparing about what games you have installed, which is really a preference thing on a laptop i suppose

lilac geyser Jul 30, 2020, 4:13 AM

#

the part that sucks is its a big jump in price on that Asus G15 line to get a better graphics card

#

and then its only a 1660ti

restive garnet Jul 30, 2020, 4:13 AM

#

we had a sale on them a few days ago, think they might be trying to clear stock at the moment

#

that exact laptop was 100 off, the next model up was 300 off

#

so it wasnt a particularly bad price on the upgraded model, at least by asus rog standards

#

also, again on a personal note, at a 15.6 inch display, its sort of a middle ground size, and i would be tempted by something around the 17 inch+ area

#

really depends on how much you value screen real estate and decently sized keyboards vs portability

#

im a bigger guy, (6'4, 110kg), so the extra size and weight doesnt bother me if i have to carry it around all day

lilac geyser Jul 30, 2020, 4:24 AM

#

so this one is better except for some reason a smaller hard drive https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SG1DY8T

#

and its not much more

another similar one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YM938TP/

restive garnet Jul 30, 2020, 4:26 AM

#

im not a fan of HP personally, but that first one does look like a decent buy, particularly if the storage and ram is upgradable

#

and im not a fan of acer either, but that second one looks like a really good buy

lilac geyser Jul 30, 2020, 4:29 AM

#

tough thing with laptop is its all so variable, just because the specs look better on paper it could still be a bear to use

restive garnet Jul 30, 2020, 4:30 AM

#

definitely true, especially when thermals are accounted for

fleet canopy Jul 30, 2020, 4:30 AM

#

Surprising there's no HDD

restive garnet Jul 30, 2020, 4:30 AM

#

not really

fleet canopy Jul 30, 2020, 4:30 AM

#

But then again I don't think most people would use laptops as the main thing for gaming

restive garnet Jul 30, 2020, 4:31 AM

#

it makes sense from an engineering standpoint

#

an m.2 is a hell of a lot smaller than a 2.5 inch ssd

lilac geyser Jul 30, 2020, 4:31 AM

#

if you can only get one computer and it needs to be a laptop it will be for gaming

fleet canopy Jul 30, 2020, 4:32 AM

#

I'm not saying that, I'm saying that generally people would have a PC at home that they would use for gaming, and the laptop would just be travel gaming so it wouldn't be too strange for it to be 500GB

restive garnet Jul 30, 2020, 4:32 AM

#

the room saved could fit an extra fan, or a full length graphics card, or just a little bit of extra space between parts to help alleviate thermal throttling

killer does make nics

or

#

they did

#

i dont really know what they do these days

#

usually they make on board or on chipset networking tho

#

last i heard, they sort of hit some financial difficulties and got bought by intel

#

iirc, the killer NIC improved FPS in low end systems by reducing the workload on the rest of the system by independently handling networking, but was virtually pointless on high end systems

lilac geyser Jul 30, 2020, 4:47 AM

#

it is a laptop NIC, here is what their amazon page says "PLEASE READ: Module is 22x30mm and should only be used in Laptops with an M.2 connector and a standard Key A or E socket. It WILL NOT work in the M.2 slot in a Desktop"

#

anyone know why a desktop m.2 slot won't work?

restive garnet Jul 30, 2020, 4:48 AM

honestly, i dont know

im assuming its some sort of chipset/bios level support for it in laptops

because its virtually pointless in desktops

#

the issue with wireless cards are always that they use the theoretical throughput that is achieved with whatever 802.11 standard that is used. In real environment it will never reach it. THe latency difference is a bit odd. Also if people purchase this card, it's kind of useless unless your router also supports the same standard (802.11ax which is very new)

So yesterday i got the update for windows 10 version 2004 i downloaded and installed and shutdown the pc after so today after booting up i saw that it was a bit choppy compared to other days and then performance while gaming deterioted too and then the pc completely froze and was froze for like 20 25 mins i restarted it after it unfroze just want to know did anyone face these issuses and why did this happened

it is still pretty choppy

snow rain Jul 30, 2020, 7:13 AM

#

So yesterday i got the update for windows 10 version 2004 i downloaded and installed and shutdown the pc after so today after booting up i saw that it was a bit choppy compared to other days and then performance while gaming deterioted too and then the pc completely froze and was froze for like 20 25 mins i restarted it after it unfroze just want to know did anyone face these issuses and why did this happened
@snow rain @brisk badger need your assistance bro

brisk badger Jul 30, 2020, 7:15 AM

#

idk, build 2004 runs fine on all my machines but it surely can make problems with others. Do you have enough disk space`?

snow rain Jul 30, 2020, 7:15 AM

#

yup

brisk badger Jul 30, 2020, 7:15 AM

#

opened taskmanager already and checked if there is a process consuming much cpu?

fleet canopy Jul 30, 2020, 7:15 AM

#

Or maybe you need to actually restart the PC

#

Because uptime being too long

snow rain Jul 30, 2020, 7:15 AM

#

i did

brisk badger Jul 30, 2020, 7:15 AM

#

is it a harddrive you are using? a restart is always nice

snow rain Jul 30, 2020, 7:15 AM

#

cpu usage on 10 12%

#

no ssd

#

150gb available

brisk badger Jul 30, 2020, 7:16 AM

#

do you have some anti virus installed? it's a bit difficult to track problems like this down

snow rain Jul 30, 2020, 7:16 AM

#

i might just try uninstalling the update

#

do you have some anti virus installed? it's a bit difficult to track problems like this down
@brisk badger yup max security

brisk badger Jul 30, 2020, 7:18 AM

#

hmm maybe try temporary disable it

snow rain Jul 30, 2020, 7:19 AM

#

gotta restart just uninstalled the update

snow rain Jul 30, 2020, 7:37 AM

#

uninstalling worked

snow rain Jul 30, 2020, 5:16 PM

#

listen up man so it all started yesterday got off playing windows update came version 2004 so i installed it and shut down the pc but today morning after turning on the pc i felt that the pc was very choppy and laggy got into a game and saw dips down to 30s and i uninstalled the update but that didnt worked either idk man do u have any idea of what have happened cant play any games help i thought uninstalling worked but when playing games its just laggy as hell help

when i have these weird issues 50% of the time i spend hours googling cause i have no idea whats wrong and eventually find some random asnwer that works, and the other 50% of the time i reinstall windows

snow rain Jul 30, 2020, 5:40 PM

#

well i tried both

vapid crypt Jul 30, 2020, 6:18 PM

#

What are your full specs anyway?

vapid crypt Jul 30, 2020, 6:53 PM

#

PS5 will have DLSS it seems

#

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLOH5ArgN6Y

#

People have been talking about AMD has nothing unless they have a response to DLSS that Nvidia uses, looks like they will

late sorrel Jul 30, 2020, 7:03 PM

#

Why wouldn’t it?

#

it’s a good optimization feature if done right

fleet canopy Jul 30, 2020, 7:20 PM

#

Totally

#

Isn't DLSS for NVIDIA though?

#

Or can AMD GPUs use that too?

vapid crypt Jul 30, 2020, 7:26 PM

#

Well for the time being not yet

late sorrel Jul 30, 2020, 7:26 PM

#

Well, the idea behind it is completely possible to be used on amd gpu’s

vapid crypt Jul 30, 2020, 7:26 PM

#

I don't know if it will be the exact same method of course, but it they have an equivalent its all that matters

#

Same video mentions running Death Stranding at 8k 50fps with DLSS on a 2080 ti

#

So that's pretty awesome

@snow rain yet it's not functioning in the purpose you bought it for 😂 W10 updates usually causes problems. It's probably better to wait a couple weeks after it comes up before installing it

fleet canopy Jul 31, 2020, 2:06 PM

#

Did deleting latest update not help?

#

Because it definitely sounds like a fucky windows 10 update

brisk badger Jul 31, 2020, 2:09 PM

#

I am confused why he would quote himself and then ping himself

#

thank you hackers 😢

#

from a security perspective, that would be a nightmare but if people know what they do; sure

#

yes and no. the inherent problem is because of microsoft and being closed source as well as many protocols being made with no security in mind

#

it kinda is. Every application that is not open source is prone to being compromised by hackers

#

open source vulnerabilities exist but are a fraction

#

it sounds like an excuse for windows. they make money (compared to linux distros) which also has to be invested in security

#

and yea i agree most exploits exist for windows because it has the biggest market share. but that alone is not the problem. closed source immensely helps hackers finding exploits

#

you make it easier for the hackers if no one can audit and fix your code 😉

#

linux has much other issues

#

different os, different package manager, different compilation etc

#

well if you find me any company like a bank or something that is prone to being hacked and that uses windows then I give you 5usd for every company :p

#

some exploits do not require the user to do something stupid

#

no one that works with security-related uses windows, the exploits that being found are just too sewere

#

even in windows only environments in my job I have install linux dns servers or web servers due to the security

#

well I can also say not everything in linux is opensource^^

#

no one said that. security comes with you having control over the system and knowing what it does

#

not just installing an OS

#

you still less likely to be victim if you use linux

#

https://www.cvedetails.com/top-50-vendor-cvssscore-distribution.php
Here is a nice chart showing various vendors and their vulnerability scoring. Interesting to see that ms had 33 percent of all found exploits weighted with the score 9 or more. 9 is very high / critical.
Also this includes ms applications such as office which depending on we view the discussion should be excluded. did not found such a chart so far

#

adobe is funny. surely 90% or more of their issues are related to flash lol

stable wyvern Jul 31, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

not really all m$ fault
@abstract kite actually it is. Over the last 30 years, they've created protocols without security in mind or they deviate from industry standards with their own version of something.

Then there's also the fact that their code is a gargantuan nightmare that no one is capable of revising. A large chunk of the functionality in windows was from acquisitions of other companies and their code was adapted to interface with windows, but not integrate with it

#

well if you find me any company like a bank or something that is prone to being hacked and that uses windows.
@brisk badger i used to work in a bank and I'm in the financial industry now. I can tell you for a fact that a lot of shit is prone to be hacked. Most ATMs that you use are running on a dedicated version of windows XP. JPM still has legacy mainframes from the 1980s running COBOL. My friend who's a consultant was doing an IT audit of a bank in the Southern US. They still had IBM 386 compatibles interfaced as parts of their daily operations

harsh pivot Jul 31, 2020, 8:56 PM

#

isn't the fact that they use old systems wich are less likely to be still known or used by most people a strenght in some kind? I remember there is a formula where Risk = Threat * Probability * Impact what they might do here is simply reduce the Probability part.

no worries, two of those drives are 10+ years old, bound to crap out (and have) any minute

Blue one came from an i3 730 prebuilt, and one of the greens came from a 2500k rig

When i do actually buy a nas, i’ll have to buy legit drives for it tho

im tossing up between using my spare drive bays in my current rig for some extra network storage, or just build a dedicated NAS.
If i did build a NAS from scratch, i would definitely be open to case suggestions

vapid crypt Aug 2, 2020, 4:30 PM

Might do better with some better airflow in the case, but otherwise that is an improvement

snow rain Aug 2, 2020, 5:38 PM

i have my air conditioner turned off would it effect if i turn it on

fleet canopy Aug 2, 2020, 5:41 PM

#

I mean, I guess a lower room temperature can help

#

Especially during the summer

void perch Aug 2, 2020, 5:42 PM

#

5* in the room won't make a huge difference, at that point it's more about the component itself performing the best cooling (getting good airflow, it not actually blowing hot air through the fans, etc

snow rain Aug 2, 2020, 5:46 PM

#

my room temp is 31 deg

#

idling at 44 55

vapid crypt Aug 2, 2020, 6:50 PM

#

I see, yeah your room is a bit hot. That can contribute along with less than stellar airflow

#

Most people I've seen testing coolers typically have their ambient room temp at around 21

yup then gotta turn on the ac

#

Yeah the only game I struggle with is arma 3 which I don't play so

fleet canopy Aug 3, 2020, 5:46 AM

And got a 7700K ( Not really such a good buy, wasn't exactly great to have that ages on but good nonetheless ), DDR4-2666MHz RAM 2x8GB that had been on 2133MHz for a long time, because I didn't know what XMP was, and then I had myself a 1TB Samsung 860 SSD

I still have that SSD, and it's still pretty good

Had it since uhh

A good long while

#

Just enabled XMP and said fuck it

abstract kite Aug 3, 2020, 5:48 AM

#

so ur still running 2133 then

fleet canopy Aug 3, 2020, 5:48 AM

#

I'm running 3200MHz now I said

abstract kite Aug 3, 2020, 5:48 AM

#

because that is base clock of 3200

fleet canopy Aug 3, 2020, 5:48 AM

#

And enabled XMP for it

abstract kite Aug 3, 2020, 5:48 AM

#

no it stays at 2133 if you don't set it up

#

it says 3200

#

some of them at least

fleet canopy Aug 3, 2020, 5:49 AM

#

Oh?

abstract kite Aug 3, 2020, 5:49 AM

#

so if you buy 3200 MHZ ram then it can come 2133 until you clock it up to 3200

#

my friend figured this out when he was doing his ryzen build

#

He was like what is this bs?

fleet canopy Aug 3, 2020, 5:51 AM

#

How does that work then?

you have to go in to bios

Set up XMP profiles? In what way?

so if ur not confident then you don't touch it

For some reason, it ran at like 80 but I assume it must be some slightly meh paste or needed a reapply

i'm hopeful for big navi, but they've been throwing that term around for years, and iirc the last one we ended up getting was the radeon VII, which they end of lifed like 2 years after it came out, and was really only a budget titan in the first place

#

i'm more than happy to stick with nvidia for working drivers, but i'd be thankful for anything from AMD that could keep their prices in check

vapid crypt Aug 4, 2020, 2:25 AM

2 years? Radeon VII came out last year and they apparently EOL'd it right after Navi came out

#

I guess technically its been a year and a half, but sure

#

So around 6 months after it came out which is pretty weird actually

If you're not going to buy a GPU just now, I could recommend waiting anyways for a possible price drop for RTX 2000 series

it seems I ran into a bit of a problem. I've been trying to connect my PS4 to my monitor with HDMI to DisplayPort but it turns out those kinds of wires only goes from DisplayPort to HDMI. I searched up online and it says I need an active adapter.
so I bought this adapter

You didn't just get a HDMI to HDMI?

tardy tinsel Aug 4, 2020, 5:57 PM

the HDMI on my monitor is being used by my computer so I want to use my display port with my PS4

#

it would be annoying to keep plugging and unplugging whenever I want to switch between computer and ps4

sick reef Aug 4, 2020, 6:01 PM

#

You could use a HDMI splitter, but eh. Feels like the actual problem is the one-way cable.

tardy tinsel Aug 4, 2020, 6:04 PM

#

why not put computer on displayport and ps4 on hdmi?
does that work? HDMI tower to DisplayPort monitor?

I thought that wire was only one way

vapid crypt Aug 4, 2020, 6:08 PM

the wire I'm currently using for my PC is DisplayPort to HDMI

vapid crypt Aug 4, 2020, 6:10 PM

does it matter what kind of DisplayPort cable I buy?

vapid crypt Aug 4, 2020, 6:13 PM

#

No, just get whatever length you might need

#

1m 2m whatever

#

I suppose there are different revisions of Displayport, but that's kind of hard to tell which one your hardware is using. Its all backwards and forwards compatible

#

In that case get the latest revision so you can use it for a while

tardy tinsel Aug 4, 2020, 6:18 PM

#

my monitor is only 60 refresh rate

fleet canopy Aug 4, 2020, 6:18 PM

#

I mean, I though like something with higher resolution + 60Hz basically meant if you were going a smaller resolution it’d be supporting 144Hz or whatever

vapid crypt Aug 4, 2020, 6:19 PM

#

Well that's the thing

#

Say you upgrade your display to a higher refresh, now you need a new cable along with it

sick reef Aug 4, 2020, 6:19 PM

#

Probably just that the adapter only operates on a lower refreshrate.

#

peepoShrug

#

Probably just that the adapter only operates on a lower refreshrate.

#

An adapter can be constructed however. If the adapter itself only translates data at the rate of 60Hz, then that's what the refresh rate is going to be limited to.

#

Oh you mean the cable itself? Probably the same reason.

#

If it's just the cable, I dunno.

#

It could just be that it's a 20 pin cable, and it's not supposed to be used with video screens, so they put that as a disclaimer.

#

Companies, per example, are not allowed to sell video screens with 20-pin HDMI/DP cables due to that it can cause damage to the hardware.

1550 super onwards have a better encoder for streaming

After that it's basically your budget

If you can afford it a 2070 super is probably all you'd ever need

1650*

@velvet sage id wait a couple of months for the new Nvidia cards to drop

#

You should be able to pick up a either used card at a good price of people wanting to be upgrading, or a discounted from a store, or a new one if that tickles your fancy

As ProjektFighter said, something around the 2070 super would keep you going for a loong time

the desktop

You need to meet the watt demand of your Pc to make it function

As ProjektFighter said, something around the 2070 super would keep you going for a loong time
I just don't have a shit ton of money, that I could spend, so I'm not sure if I can afford that graphics card, but I guess the fact that the priced will drop and that I won't have to buy a new one in a few years mgiht be worth it.
But good news, I just was streaming the game, while recording it, all on 1080/60 and still had above 60 fps, but still, I'm not sure what the future will bring and if it will be keeping on like that.

if you use GPU encoding, you should have zero FPS loss while streaming.

it supplies power 🥁

wise flare Aug 5, 2020, 12:34 PM

Also, pcpartpicker will estimate the watt demand of your pc, try and go about 100-150 watts above that to make it easier to upgrade

silk meadow Aug 5, 2020, 12:34 PM

It change your power from 120v wall plug to 12 and 24v for pc

i do not recommend to install windows from an image that is not provided by microsoft. Anyone could install or modifying code without you knowing. Especially installing rootkits provided with those images can be very difficult to fix

I think headphone like mice are very subjective

Unless its razer that shit sucks and we hopefully all agree

Razer does suck, the mouse and keyboard probably doesn't. But meh, Razer products just look like crap for too much money

sick reef Aug 5, 2020, 3:18 PM

It's overpriced but it works.

brisk badger Aug 5, 2020, 3:18 PM

#

The quality is also bad. My razer headphones are glued together and held with tape. 1kg headset held by tiny pieces of plastic.

Razer software also somehow was incredible bad written. Consumes a lot of cpu cycles

sick reef Aug 5, 2020, 3:19 PM

#

Yeah, it isn't the best. But they have some good items, though often at a larger prices than equals of other brands.

brisk badger Aug 5, 2020, 3:20 PM

#

Whenever i go louder or more silent i have 20% cpu load for some time by the razer. It also constantly polls and uses the gpu to render their UI even if not displayed. Super odd engineers they have

#

I also used the synapse ver 2 not 3 as my products are older

#

Generally this software for mice keyboard and headphone is just hot bloatware garbage

sick reef Aug 5, 2020, 3:21 PM

I wouldn't know. As soon as Synapse requires you to create an account, I'm not installing that stuff

It's cool, but I'm more used to the PS controllers

With how the joystick and buttons are at

And the PS5 one seems real good, something like an Xbox kinda body, but set to be similar to previous PS controllers in place where buttons/joystick are

I mean, everyone has a preference anyways kek

https://videocardz.com/newz/report-nvidia-geforce-rtx-2070-super-has-been-discontinued

#

2070 Super discontinued?

#

Well that's for sure interesting :)

#

"In early July it was reported that NVIDIA is planning to retire its high-end RTX 20 Series stack, as the next-generation graphics cards is approaching. Since then, NVIDIA AICs have indeed begun the process of delisting their current high-end lineup and stores have started to offer interesting promotions on remaining stock"

#

The discontinuation list of NVIDIA RTX 20 graphics cards included:

GeForce RTX 2080 Ti
GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER
GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER
GeForce RTX 2070

#

"All of these cards are high-end models. What this means is that NVIDIA could be planning to replace the whole enthusiast segment at once, which would not be surprising considering NVIDIA rolled out RTX 20 series with 2080Ti, 2080 and 2070 at the same time"

#

"The Chinese site MyDrivers has a good track record when it comes to graphics card production information, after all, most of the cards are made in China. They are usually spot on when it comes to early indicators when the models are discontinued. Today they reported that the RTX 2070 SUPER, which was also mentioned in the previous report, is now ‘completely’ discontinued. Reportedly the last batch of the chips (GPUs) has been dispatched and no furthers orders will be accepted. What this means is that the RTX 2070 SUPER life has ended and the remaining chips will be the last to be sold."

#

RTX 2060 / GTX 1660 price increase

The two series which have not yet been discontinued: GeForce RTX 2060 and GeForce GTX 1660 are seeing increased popularity due to the rising popularity of cryptocurrency mining in China. As a result (depending on a model) the price has increased by 5 to 20 USD in retail channels. Meanwhile, factory prices are to increase by 30-40 Yuans (4 – 6 USD).

It is worth adding that neither RTX 2060 nor GTX 1660 series are expected to be replaced by next-generation Ampere series at any time soon. The mid-range offer is likely to be refreshed at a later date. We have mentioned possible launch months for these cards in this post.

Just a reminder that 3000 series are right around the corner. Halting production on these just confirms that.

But I'm surprised the 2070 Super and 2080 Super are getting cut off production

Well a little less surprising for 2080 Super, but 2070/Super still
