Anyway anyone know any places in Virginia selling 3090s

fleet canopy Sep 20, 2021, 12:54 PM

#

Yeah

#

Amazon.com

viral geode Sep 20, 2021, 12:56 PM

#

That's where all the scalpers live tho

#

Let alone Amazon jacks the fucking price up double

fleet canopy Sep 20, 2021, 12:57 PM

They should just go back to shitty shoes

#

I find it funny I want to go up a tier every generation

viral geode Sep 20, 2021, 12:59 PM

#

I'm doing it mainly because my friend ain't that well off and his rig is kinda dookie so I'm gonna send some of my shit to him

fleet canopy Sep 20, 2021, 12:59 PM

#

Well every two tier I guess

viral geode Sep 20, 2021, 12:59 PM

#

I wish I could get ahold of that sexy strix 3080ti with the built in aio

fleet canopy Sep 20, 2021, 1:00 PM

#

That’s just expensive as fuck lmao

viral geode Sep 20, 2021, 1:00 PM

#

But that's even more expensive than a 3090 and my case kinda has nowhere to mount an aio

#

Only spot would be at the bottom and that's no good

fleet canopy Sep 20, 2021, 1:00 PM

#

Any watercooled GPU gets to be a fucking big premium

#

It’s insane that it’s even that much more expensive

#

Just might as well say fuck it and go for the next tier in the generation instead

viral geode Sep 20, 2021, 1:02 PM

#

It's more of just a "hey wouldn't that be cool" I'm not gonna actually get one

fleet canopy Sep 20, 2021, 1:02 PM

#

Ah

viral geode Sep 20, 2021, 1:02 PM

#

Got no place to mount an aio

#

Only place is the bottom of my case

fleet canopy Sep 20, 2021, 1:02 PM

#

Just saw a part of the case to fit one

#

iirc a part of the 3090 is completely see through so wtf is it cooling

viral geode Sep 20, 2021, 1:03 PM

#

Lol. My case is some custom made inwin case for skytech. The dudes who prebuilt my shit

fleet canopy Sep 20, 2021, 1:03 PM

#

Let the air through to the bottom of case sure

#

But most likely someone put fans on the bottom of case

#

They just have to afford 10 fans to show off their pc with a 3090 3sSenkoCool

viral geode Sep 20, 2021, 1:08 PM

#

I've got my spare fan from my NH-D15

#

Or I could just line the bottom with daisy chained inwins

#

Lol

#

I'm not gonna get an FE 3090 anyway. I'm gonna get one with good thermals

cinder crypt Sep 20, 2021, 8:46 PM

#

#

so with all this i should be able to put my pc together soon

#

ill send pics when i got it all together

hasty prawn Sep 21, 2021, 1:31 PM

#

#

I put it all in

#

Case is a Corsair 7000D

#

@cinder crypt I'm looking forward to it

viral geode Sep 21, 2021, 1:48 PM

What gpu?

hasty prawn Sep 21, 2021, 1:57 PM

Me? MSI suprim 3080ti

viral geode Sep 21, 2021, 2:25 PM

#

Hawt

viral geode Sep 21, 2021, 3:40 PM

#

At my local microcenter it's cheaper for a 3090 than it is to get one of those things

hasty prawn Sep 22, 2021, 1:35 PM

#

Yer they are a really good looking card. I would of rather had a 3090 tbh but they had this so just got it while I could. Shame Corsair require you to spend money on a controller for the argb which is stupid. I ordered 4 other argb for the front and back they are coming today and tomorrow :D

#

viral geode Sep 22, 2021, 1:39 PM

#

As shitty as MSI are as a company can't deny that card is hawt

hasty prawn Sep 22, 2021, 1:41 PM

#

@viral geode I think this card is the only thing good about them. Oh and the unify board can have 4 nvme sticks on it that's it. I had to uninstall the msi dragon centre and the msi centre because they were messing with my MSI GPU lol!

#

They kept making my GPU ignore my set curve and kept causing microstutters which was werid lol

#

One downside to the card is it's not good in a midi case 20cm wide as it vents out the front and heats up the glass.so I had to buy a bigger case.

viral geode Sep 22, 2021, 1:47 PM

#

Oif

#

I'm not gonna get a founders edition 3090 because bad thermals. But I'm not sure which brand I want. Suppose it's a tossup between the Asus and a ftw3

#

The Asus for performance and ftw3 because I hear that's the most readily available

hasty prawn Sep 22, 2021, 2:04 PM

#

Asus is the one I wanted originally but I gave up then I just got what I could. My mate has a ftw and he has had some issues with it but he don't really say what other than his games are not running as high as he thought. I guess it depends how much you want to spend and availability.

#

Here in the uk the 3090 is £2500 and the 3080ti average about £1500

viral geode Sep 22, 2021, 2:12 PM

Im just kinda going for it. Full tilt ya know

sage scarab Sep 23, 2021, 12:25 PM

Been wanting to get a proper gaming PC for a while but I’m on a tight budget so idk where to start with this. I’m new to the “PC” scene but have played console for years and just started recently on a laptop. If anyone has any suggestions I’d greatly appreciate it.

barren wadi Sep 23, 2021, 12:36 PM

#

go for a build service, not prebuilts

#

like nzxt bld, redux pc's

viral geode Sep 23, 2021, 12:56 PM

#

Skytech has pretty good prebuilts for cheap. That's where I got mine

#

People will crucify you for a prebuilt but it's the only way to get a good GPU for cheap

barren wadi Sep 23, 2021, 1:31 PM

#

some build services only charge a build fee

#

prebuilts are bad for the fact that their cases generally have bad airflow

viral geode Sep 23, 2021, 1:33 PM

#

As long as you don't get it from like MSI or Walmart or Alienware you're pretty well off

hasty prawn Sep 23, 2021, 3:54 PM

@fleet canopy

#

question

#

if your here

#

@viral geode

#

anyone

#

please spare a moment of your time

#

i have a plce power connector

#

how do i know which way plugs into the gpu and psu

dry hollow Sep 25, 2021, 7:59 PM

#

Is one side labeled PSU or pcie?
Also pictures would probably be the best way to help

cinder crypt Sep 25, 2021, 7:59 PM

#

nvm

#

i think i figureed it out

#

#

right side of cables is power correct?

#

and left is for 2 connections for 2 gpus correct?

#

@dry hollow

#

there is 2 cables labeled pcle and other one has no label

#

i assume power goes into one that has no label

#

and out pcle

#

also is mbr for the ssd and hard drive better or gpt better?

#

my new motherboard has uefi

fleet canopy Sep 25, 2021, 8:08 PM

#

I think it doesn’t matter

#

The single end is for psu, the bend one is for GPU

#

Most connectors to the GPU doesn’t have it together so people can do 6 pins with an extra 2 for a later upgrade or whatever

cinder crypt Sep 25, 2021, 8:13 PM

#

#

cable management work in progress

#

we just gotta finish copying my stuff from my ssd to make sure my old pc will still boot if need be

#

and then fresh install on my new pc once we get gpu in and hopefully everything works

dry hollow Sep 25, 2021, 9:00 PM

#

The daisy chained part of the pcie cable connects to the card

#

So in your picture the bottom part goes into PSU and the top goes into your card

barren wadi Sep 25, 2021, 9:07 PM

#

yes the ones with pcie label connects to gpu, its not advisable to swap orientations but they probably wont fit anyway cause they should be keyed differently

#

and also it just makes sense for the longer part to connect to psu

but hey what do i know GWcmeisterPeepoShrug

Maybe like 2 more frames, I don't know, my asrock 2 fan card clocks higher than my brothers gigabyte 3 fan card, his was about $100 more. Also those cards do not run hot

#

As long as you get a decent card going higher up doesn't make sense, you'll hit a voltage limit before you reach a temperature limit

it wont freeze right away btw

only parts that are the same from my old pc are hdd ssd and gpu

i can still right click and icon for stuff will pop up

@lilac obsidian yea someone on forums said they had a similar problem with 2700x but im going to try a clean install just because i basically built a new pc except for the gpu,ssd and hdd im replacing the ssd with a 500 gb 3d one

lilac obsidian Oct 5, 2021, 12:42 PM

#

cinder crypt <@142807802925154314> yea someone on forums said they had a similar problem with...

i did clean install & issue persisted until I edited those options in bios

#

it was a brand new PC for me

cinder crypt Oct 5, 2021, 1:22 PM

#

ill start with a clean install and go from there there is people saying they had same problem

#

and fresh install fixed it

#

cause i did change parts out like i said everything even the case is new and only thing the same is gpu ssd with old windows on it and hdd so people have said if it still has old drivers it could be trying to access them after sleep mode and using memory up till it wont work anymore

#

and it might fix it it might not

#

only one way to figure it out cause it apparently is most likely memory issue something is eating up memory after sleep because it failed to start program back up after sleep and continues to try and eats up ram

lilac obsidian Oct 5, 2021, 3:29 PM

#

@cinder crypt the only way I could describe my issue was it was never locking up when doing anything intensive, but would lock up when idle

#

My fix is there if it does turn out to be that issue anyway, good luck!

cinder crypt Oct 6, 2021, 4:39 AM

#

mine would only lock up after coming out of sleep it never locks up when idle or when running intensive games

need some help, took a stab at making my own computer today and got it to post! But having an issue where the cpu overheats and the computer shuts off. When booting into the bios it says fan error or something like that and its not picking up the aio that I have. I have ROG strix b550-f, ryzen 7 5800x, with rog 360 AIO, idk what to do, i updated the bios, re-seated the aio, new thermal paste, changed the aio header connecting to the mother board to different sites. Everything is new, no dust, any help is appreaciated.

fleet canopy Oct 8, 2021, 2:55 AM

#

Check to see if the cpu cooler is connected to the CPU fan input on motherboard

snow thorn Oct 8, 2021, 2:58 AM

#

yea, i have the block connected to the aio header and the other connection to the usb power, then the fans off the radiator are connected to the motherboard fan pins. the fans spin and the rgb lights from the block are on.

fleet canopy Oct 8, 2021, 2:59 AM

#

Are you sure it’s on CPU_FAN though?

#

Just want to be sure yes

#

I don’t really know what would be wrong cause it’s weird that it’ll not work

#

Considering it’s supposed to just be plugging in and working right away so

snow thorn Oct 8, 2021, 3:01 AM

#

I know thats why im going crazy, 😦

#

i changed it from cpu fan, to cpu opt, to fan 2

#

and each time the fans are picked up, but the aio isn't and cpu temp just keeps going up and when it reaches 100 it just shuts off

fleet canopy Oct 8, 2021, 3:03 AM

#

Did you peel off the sticker on the cooling block?

#

Also maybe this might help https://www.asus.com/us/support/faq/1006064

Official Support | ASUS USA

Why I see the error message

snow thorn Oct 8, 2021, 3:04 AM

#

it had the cover and the preapplied thermal paste, but when i re-seated it, i got new thermal paste and applied it

fleet canopy Oct 8, 2021, 3:04 AM

#

But the sticker did come off yes?

#

Well no it shouldn’t cause a 100 and crash actually

#

Refer to link and maybe it’ll work probably

snow thorn Oct 8, 2021, 3:07 AM

#

yea no sticker inbetween the block and the cpu, let me see what connection point is on now and switch it back to the one on the site

#

do you think it matters there are different types of fans?

#

i have the three from rog on the aio, then six from lian li uni-fans, but all of them spin and light up

fleet canopy Oct 8, 2021, 3:09 AM

#

Those all should work fine

snow thorn Oct 8, 2021, 3:20 AM

#

bad quality, sorry, but connected on the cpu fan, everything lights up and spins, i can get into the bios, this was just like a minute after i turn it on and you can see after another minute it starts taking off over 80 degrees and keeps going

cinder crypt Oct 8, 2021, 4:43 AM

#

is the pump kicking on at all

#

cause that might be a possibilty

#

@snow thorn

#

cause if it isnt you either have a bad AIO

#

or bad spot for the plug in for aio cause theres a dedicated spot for aio on the motherboard

#

or the cpu might be bad but my bet if anything is the spot on motherboard is bad or pump on aio is bad

#

or thermal paste isnt laid good enough but you said you checked that

snow thorn Oct 8, 2021, 5:02 AM

#

i have the header on the dedicated spot for the aio, and i just checked and it turns out the aio was open box so maybe its bad? idk, first time working with an aio so not sure how else to check if its working. And each time i re-seat it the paste is pretty even.

cinder crypt Oct 8, 2021, 6:05 AM

#

yea if it was open box you might have gotten a bad aio

#

if anything should be wrong my money is like i said spot on motherboard or aio is bad

#

if you try to replace anything do aio first and if it is not that then you have problems

lilac obsidian Oct 8, 2021, 9:08 AM

#

snow thorn i have the header on the dedicated spot for the aio, and i just checked and it t...

can you hear / feel the pump working at all?

#

AIO's work in performance mode by default until you install windows & some AIO pump control software

#

The fan error is due to you probably not having a fan connected to the "CPU FAN" header. It's a warning

#

Instead you've got the AIO connected though

#

Also are you certain the CPU is overheating? what temp does it rise to in your BIOS

cinder crypt Oct 8, 2021, 11:42 AM

#

@lilac obsidian he sent a vidoe

#

it rises up to 87

#

and keeps going

lilac obsidian Oct 8, 2021, 11:56 AM

#

oof right so probably isnt the software aio issue, sounds like the pump isn't working

cinder crypt Oct 8, 2021, 12:13 PM

#

cause ot looks like aio is powered but not pumping so that lead me to believe pump is bad

cinder crypt Oct 8, 2021, 1:51 PM

#

so quick question

#

we built my dads pc and last night everything turned on

#

but

#

this morning we were going to install windows

#

but now the fan will barely spin when we press power button and wont power anything except the motherboard lights

#

we just pulled battery out of motherboard and replaced it with same battery type

#

just noe

#

now

#

to see if that fixes it if it doesnt any other reason this would be happening

#

because we didnt change anything in bios

#

@fleet canopy

#

@lilac obsidian

asking for a freind because its just weird that it would do this

pulling battery out did not help

cinder crypt Oct 8, 2021, 3:09 PM

@marble flume can you switch that mobo I would if you can. I just sold a asus prime b550 plus although its an ok board if you have any issues at all with it you have to reset the cmos which is very annoying. you have to take the battery out of the board and short it. Anything that causes an error can make it lock too till you remove that battery. if you can change it look for a mobo with a cmos button. Issues I had was once I forgot to plug in display cable the board pinged an error i had to remove battery to make it work again which involved having to remove my gpu. I plugged the my aio fan into the wrong port once got a cpu fan error till i removed that battery aswell as other annoying things. I would also get a second ssd drive to for the gen 3 slot lower down with your operating system and games you will fill that sn850 and a full ssd causes severe performance issues you can get a sn750 for about £100.

Hey all, having a weird crashing on my PC. It's like the PC locks up in a weird way. I can still play whatever game I'm playing, I can hear audio perfectly fine and everything but discord in the background cut out. Once I tabbed out to check if discord was crashed or something I can't tab back into the game and windows becomes unresponsive. I can't click back into any applications. I can Ctrl alt delete and it shows up fine. I open task manager and it displays but won't allow me to end any tasks & won't auto refresh like it typically does. Only resolution is a hard reboot. I've tried hitting win + alt + shift + Ctrl to reset the display driver with no luck. The fact the audio is fine when this happens means it isn't a hard freeze. Any ideas?

cinder crypt Oct 10, 2021, 11:54 PM

cinder crypt Oct 11, 2021, 4:17 PM

#

@lilac obsidian idk man that sounds almost exactly like what happened to me now will it fix it idk but if you have tried a full fresh install it could be a hardware issue or a driver problem if its a driver problem a fresh install would fix it cause it gets rid of all files as long as you say delete everything and dont keep apps and settings

#

and the pc was working in may right no problem when did the issue first start happening around was it when you changed your gpu

lilac obsidian Oct 11, 2021, 4:19 PM

#

yeah I ended up ddu'ing my drivers earlier and did a fresh driver install

#

If it happens again I'll definitely reinstall windows

cinder crypt Oct 11, 2021, 4:20 PM

#

alright let me know

hasty prawn Oct 11, 2021, 7:28 PM

So I did the f35D windows 11 bios update other day and this happens from a cold start only. You think it's just a bug in bios telling it to emit that sound or you think something is going to break. It only did it after bios and if I shut down again and turn back on it starts as normal. The sounds is the only thing that's different every else starts as normal think I should reflash bios ?

#

This is what happens when you shut down and start again surely idlf something was wrong it would keep doing it.

fleet canopy Oct 11, 2021, 7:35 PM

#

I'm not sure why you updated to Windows 11 this early

#

It sucks at gaming by like

#

At least 20% iirc

hasty prawn Oct 11, 2021, 7:41 PM

#

I have a r5950x and a 3080ti I haven't noticed any performance drops so its not really noticeable. I have read about it affecting ryzen chips though and they said they will fix it in oct with amd and Microsoft working closely. I did try rolling back but I cant unless I reinstall windows trust me I have tried. The 15- 20% isn't really noticeable as im already overkill anyway so 20% is like 160fps normal down to 130ish.

#

only reason i tried rolling back is none of my apps were working due to windows 11 but once i got the bios update from giga they all started working properly again apart from the post screech thing lol

@fleet canopy

VGA? What about other displays?

cinder crypt Oct 12, 2021, 3:32 AM

vga is the light

#

its plugged in through the hdmi

#

its given code 68 21

#

and some others

#

on a rog strix x570-e

#

the white light stays on

#

and its given 1 cpu q code but hasnt since

#

its basically just pci host bridge initialization

#

pch stuff

#

any idea

#

?

fleet canopy Oct 12, 2021, 3:37 AM

#

Nope

#

Tried searching, haven't found answer

#

Have found something for now at least

#

"POST code 68 is also a memory error. If another lower end CPU is not available to test the board and update the BIOS verify that the issue happens with one stick of RAM in the colored slot furthest from the CPU (slot 5). Reset the BIOS by removing the battery and unplugging the power for 5~10 minutes."

#

Perhaps it's another board, but you could fix it in a similar way

#

Checked something else, it's a PSU related problem

#

Then it sort of goes into a motherboard problem, guy replaced out almost if not all of the PC's components

#

And still no fix

#

so idk

cinder crypt Oct 12, 2021, 3:50 AM

#

ok

#

so

#

weird we possibly

#

fixed it

#

we pulled all the ram sticks

#

and left 1 in

#

and it gave a 02 first start up

#

but next one it booted up

#

we put 2 in now

#

booted up fine again

worked fine

cinder crypt <@456226577798135808> why yes i happen to have that cooler why do you ask?

myyess well I was wondering if you use the 2 fans included or only 1

#

because that cooler is so big I needed to move the second cooler sideway (I was not using low profile ram sticks so thats why the second fan didnt fit), it barely fit in the case I am surprised it did although i did not consider the size of the cooler when i bought the case

#

Its kinda tedious, but the cooler still should be working fine without 1 fan right

viral geode Oct 13, 2021, 4:11 PM

#

absolutely

#

you can also use that fan as a spare chassi fan

abstract kite Oct 13, 2021, 4:14 PM

#

Oh okaythankss

cinder crypt Oct 13, 2021, 6:09 PM

#

@abstract kite yes you can use it but if you have room on the other side of heatsink you can also put the fan over on the other side cause it can hold up to 3 fans on heat sink

#

or use it as a case fan like he said

#

you might get 5c hotter but still not bad considering the highest temp ive seen it it go is 68 c with 2 fans

#

with a 5800x

#

but i also did not use thermal paste it came with so i dont know how high it gets with included thermal paste probably not that much of a difference

Then have at least 150W with a gold certification

hasty prawn Oct 17, 2021, 9:52 PM

#

@opal herald when your pc starts crashing or acting weird after adding new components that have a higher power draw. A GPU/GPU'S would be a likely culprit of this. They even have different power requirements within the same range a good example would be the standard nvidia cards compared to the third party ones. The standard 3080ti has a tdp of 350watts my msi suprim is 400watts I used a 650 watt psu on my 3070 not a chance I would use that on my 3080ti even though the highest number I have seen on my psu screen is 630watts I would rather have headroom than it being fully maxed out. If you just use your pc for games you will not need more than a 850watt for now even a 750w would be more than enough in most systems but that will change in future gen cards as I have read the 40 series 4090 will have 450 tdp to which 850w psu would become the norm.

cinder crypt Oct 18, 2021, 3:10 AM

#

well good thing i decided to get a 850

#

even though i currently have a 2070 i wanted a bigger psu incase i wanted to upgrade

hasty prawn Oct 18, 2021, 6:15 AM

@cinder crypt Its definitely better to get one higher than you need as a PSU is probably the only part of a pc you can actually future proof I have a platinum rated 850w ASUS THOR I really like it as it has a screen on that shows live power draw which is handy. I have a friend who has a 1000w PSU he acknowledges its overkill but he never has to think about TDP for along time. It is always best to buy the best PSU you can as there is no point spending loads on pc parts to cheap out on a PSU that could potentially kill all your parts.

yea thats why i went with a 850 cause i think ill still be overkill with a 850 watt

#

cause if i got a 3000 series card i still have like 300 watts free

850W gold cert is perfectly fine

#

Esp considering today’s components and PCs drawing enough power to consider having a 850W

hasty prawn Oct 18, 2021, 5:43 PM

#

@fleet canopy I was thinking the other day how much power will they max out at before they start going backwards and making them require less. I think even 400 watts for a GPU alone is a lot I regularly see it at 380 in geforce overlay. It got me thinking what point would it get to where it's a waste of money if you use a PC just for gaming and it would be more cost effective and better to get a console. The Ps5 is at 350 watt now too I think.

fleet canopy Oct 18, 2021, 6:42 PM

#

The entire PS5 wattage compared to a GPU’s watt usage? Hm.

merry bay Oct 18, 2021, 7:06 PM

#

Most people at the high end would rather have a power hog that can offer more performance. There's still a lot of unreached milestones to fulfil even for older titles.

#

The waste of money part is very dependant on personal performance targets where you'd feel it's smooth enough to enjoy. Extremely subjective matter. Some can reach that point without a high end GPU, some can opt for a more efficient GPU as a middle ground and compromise on a few more settings.

#

And there's also an argument for rarely playing AAA games or stuff that really pushes your hardware, just to be ready for the odd time you want to indulge. Hardly ever pushing the power usage high.

hasty prawn Oct 18, 2021, 8:14 PM

#

I think naturally consoles will follow, the next PlayStation will probably exceed 400watts. For me I only use my ps5 for exclusives you are right thought it is certainly personal preference I still think my pc is far superior to my ps5 in everyway I mean it has a r 5950x and a 3080ti sitting on 64gb of ram NOT THAT IT MATTERED TO WINDOWS 11 i had to reinstall 10 I am going to wait 6 months at least before i go back to 11 lol. I think the next step up would either be the new intel or a threadripper but yes what you need and want are two very different things. I should be good as far as AAA games go for the next few years I would rather part ex my gpu when the time comes and buy another rather than start to turn settings down but other than ride a motorbike and look after lizards I hardly have a wide selections of things I am into. If I can get 140fps I am usually happy with that but I wonder if I can really tell the difference I am waiting for a decent 34 inch uw 4k monitor so i can really push it. My friend hates curved and ultra wide though he prefers 27 inch. I also like the freedom a pc gives me plus the fun of building it yourself and all the new stuff. I am already thinking of the next build I got my eyes on the custom loop market but also I am looking out for a gpu with a hybrid cooler too I will wait and see if one is more available next gen. I have found the pc community to not be toxic than the console one as well maybe its maturity.

Does gtfo work on macs

merry bay Oct 18, 2021, 8:23 PM

#

I wouldn't rush to next gen stuff either. Not just because of prices and having to swap out everything, but because it's very unclear if Intel will be thorough or quick to fix up software compatibility issues that come with their new architecture. They gave a mostly consistent and predictable experience for years thanks to their lack of innovation. They didn't make any major changes, just squeezed out more out of their existing design.

#

Some of those issues aren't even dependant on Intel, and has to be handled by devs.
e. x. game DRM
Saw an article earlier for Denuvo requiring manual patching to enable Alder Lake support (the little cores are seen as an anomalous hacking attempt currently)
Older games are a lot less likely to get that patch. In which case legal copies simply wouldn't run.

#

The thing isn't even out yet, who knows what misbehaviors will be unearthed soon. And who knows how long it will take to iron out fully. I value system reliability and stability, so dealing with early adopter issues isn't my cup of tea.

And the 24 pin cable was such a pain to plug in.

the best thing you can do is, know that you built it, if something breaks, you'll likely be able to replace it.

yeah, the 24 pin is sometimes a struggle.

if anything id say the two components of a pc you probably shouldnt cheap out on are the CPU and motherboard.

there is no "was", really.

Will the part stock problems eventually get better or will it forever be like this?

bright shard Oct 25, 2021, 3:10 AM

thats a complicated question

#

ill try to summarize

#

probably not for another 3-6 years.

#

covid threw a wrench into the already struggling silicon supply chain

#

even more things require silicon chips to function, even compared to 4 years ago.

#

you can see this even in the auto industry

#

where the supply of vehicles is primarily bottlenecked by the lack of chips.

#

GM has fleets of non-consumer ready cars waiting for chips.

Are power supplies still the largest shortage of parts?

The benefit for going past 60Hz is that you’ll see things appear quicker, and the time between one frame to another is shortened a lot when comparing 60Hz to 120-144Hz

viral geode Oct 25, 2021, 9:57 AM

I used to think "at least 30 and I'm happy" until I got used to 60

I can't go back

It infuriates me when games have a frame cap of 30 during cutscenes like Forza horizon 4 and destiny

hasty prawn Oct 25, 2021, 10:17 AM

#

@torn ferry tbh if you're going to lock it to 60 fps you may as well save money and just get a console as far as overheating I dont know how that idea made its way into your head but as long as you have adequate cooling it wont overheat and even if it did your pc would likely just reboot. I can easily hit 70-80c on my cpu depending on what I am doing I think ryzen are designed to be running normally up to 95c or something also depending on what gpu you have, resolution you use or game you're playing your cpu may not even but fully utilised. If you are playing 1440p or above you will like be GPU bound anyway I usually play at 160hz but as long as I am above 100 I don't really care and I would always say get the best psu you can no point in spending loads on pc parts to cheap out on a psu that could potentially fry everything.

@barren wadiI was looking at those and the aorus extreme too £700 here for the extreme 8 E-ATX will make using my lian li cables tricky though i think as they are tight with a A TX board so I am holding out for an ATX 3+m.2 although if one isn't released by end of next year I may just sell my current and take the plunge and sell the lian li to my friend.

barren wadi Oct 25, 2021, 7:10 PM

probably impossible to find an standard atx with more than 3 m.2 unless u use pcie adapters

or some company decides to put them on the back of the board

@barren wadi I only want 3 as i have 3 ssd's I wouldn't need more than 3 as i am not getting anymore

Dual bios needs to be a standard feature on all boards

@dry hollow I agree its a huge peace of mind knowing if anything goes wrong I can just flip the switch and reflash. tbh the Aorus master is a decent board its just the bad experience people are having with customer service that's making me want to move away.

@torn ferry I would just cap it to your monitors maximum refresh rate if it worries you that much do it in the geforce settings not in the game ones. Honestly though you're CPU/GPU would throttle it's self or even a total system reboot would happen before you broke anything unless you changed it in the settings which I doubt you have. What cpu, gpu and Cooler so you have?

@torn ferry Unless you have put the thermal paste on wrong [which you would already be aware of by now] overheating isn't going to be a thing. 1440p you're more GPU bound than CPU use Geoforce overlay to track your temp if you want but id be surprised if you overheat. I have a msi suprim 3080ti and a ryzen 5950x and I have my fans set low so its quiet and I only really notice thermals on the GPU which is normal stop restricting your system and enjoy its ability.

What exactly is happening when the fans randomly start getting louder and then quiet down a short moment later?

hasty prawn Oct 26, 2021, 8:04 PM

#

@torn ferry they are cooling your system to a pre set curve the percentage they run at will be tied to a temperature so say 60c/40% which means when you're temp hits 60c on say the cpu then the fan tied to it will run at 40% speed

#

my curve

Couldn't tell ya then.

hasty prawn Oct 27, 2021, 10:38 AM

It's coil whine and it's cause of stupid driver updates. It could be coming from the card or mobo. My GPU started doing it after the September geforce update I think they increased power in it or something. I got one from my mobo since my windows 11 bios update too it's nothing to fear just really annoying.

@fleet canopy the September driver is what did it for me sadly rolling back wont change it. My friends 2060 couldn't even play games there was loads of people in the nvidia discord channel complaining about issues after that driver. Obviously driver updates are not the only cause of them but its almost always due to current going through stuff making it vibrate its mostly under high load it does go away after a while or you become deaf to it lol.

fleet canopy Oct 28, 2021, 1:29 AM

bright shard Oct 28, 2021, 1:29 AM

if fans are temp controlled, they run slower and attract less dust.

#

if the side fans had filters, i would say +1 to number of months between cleanings.

#

if a computer has sat idle for 4-8 months ill usually give it a quick dusting before turning it on.

but, from a guy that has the experience with cleaning PCs, buy a hand blower. Like legit.

smoke has tar in it and is in the smoke so the tar will coar things. Inside the computer it will coat the fans and the chips and can cause extra heat in your computer

barren wadi get the meshify 2 compact instead of the c

Funny enough there's no mesh c, just mesh 2 compacts

barren wadi Oct 30, 2021, 4:50 PM

#

yah i said get the m2copact

#

its overall better than mesh c

#

cleaning the front filter is a pain on the mesh c

fleet canopy Oct 30, 2021, 4:52 PM

#

Yeah I checked and it's like 25 to 45mm longer

#

Pretty neat

#

its also a nylon? removable front filter instead of a stupid metal mesh+foam filter on the C

#

i got the meshC few weeks before m2compact came out

Talking to mirrors and was thinking probably would be okay to just go air cooling still I guess

#

p12s also have rgb now

#

Bionx has better airflow from what I see but I guess that doesn't matter too much

I have no clue if getting a motherboard like this one will mean that OCing the RAM will be better than last time where it wouldn't really OC at all

barren wadi Oct 30, 2021, 5:01 PM

#

depends on what die u get

#

sam b-die and well binned hynix can oc far

fleet canopy Oct 30, 2021, 5:05 PM

#

I got bdie yes

#

Either I really suck, or the motherboard is just not a good choice for OCing

What do you think the problem with my computer is if the game crashes not when I startup but when I’m going down the elevator after starting a match?

#

Just curious on peoples ideas

#

Cause a lot of my games have been crashing on startup and GTFO won’t let me get past going down into the depths now

vivid pilot Cause a lot of my games have been crashing on startup and GTFO won’t let me get ...

The game does produce log files every time you play - might be worth digging through those. Try dropping into a map that crashes, then go to C:\Users[USERNAME]\AppData\LocalLow\10 Chambers Collective\GTFO and open up the newest file with a name along the lines of "GTFO.2021.10.24.03.02.36_[STEAM USERNAME]_MASTER.txt". Scroll to the bottom and see what's there. Might be something useful.

What are normal temperatures for the processor under load?

merry bay Nov 1, 2021, 2:09 AM

#

what's your cpu?
what's your cooler?
voltages? frequency? auto settings vary per motherboard so it's never straightforward

#

if you're under 80C on air with a full load, you're doing great

#

it's not a firm rule, there's leeway depending on what you care about
