yeah, general rule of thumb is under 80c

#

at least, for a typical processor

barren wadi Nov 1, 2021, 2:16 AM

#

its just good practice to have temps below 80c

#

but tjmax for amd is 95c and 100c-105c for intel

torn ferry Nov 1, 2021, 2:25 AM

#

Is under load in general means running any intensive game or is there a specific percentage threshold?

if it sounds like rattling, its probably the fans changing speed, usually downward.

Should I clean my pc with an air compressor? asking for a friend

Is graphics card sag normal, like, 5mm?

bright shard Nov 3, 2021, 9:35 PM

#

abstract kite Should I clean my pc with an air compressor? asking for a friend

you can do it, its not recommended.
The general wisdom says to buy a corded duster.

#

compressor can take oil and lightly deposit it on the computer parts.

#

which isnt preferable, but is more preferable to heaps of dust.

#

additionally, a compressor is pretty powerful, the air can sometimes snap parts.

#

that and my least favorite part of using a compressor is the size, and it usually being in the garage.

#

you either have to trek your pc outside, or your compressor inside.

#

if you want more of my 25 cents on dusting PCs, the offer is voluntary.

torn ferry Nov 3, 2021, 9:41 PM

#

Is graphics card sag normal?

bright shard Nov 3, 2021, 9:41 PM

#

5mm of sag is acceptable

#

also, sometimes you can loosen the card case screws in the rear of the case, lift the card lightly and re-tighten, sometimes.

torn ferry Nov 3, 2021, 9:43 PM

#

But is sag impossible to prevent entirely unless you use special methods like an anti-sag bracket or tying fishing line to the connector and tying the line to the top of the case?

bright shard Nov 3, 2021, 9:44 PM

#

whenever you have an imperfect rectangle supported only on two sides, its physically impossible to have Zero sag.

torn ferry Nov 3, 2021, 9:45 PM

#

Does sag have any negative effects besides aesthetic wise?

bright shard Nov 3, 2021, 9:45 PM

#

extreme cases have snapped the PCB or the PCI connector

#

sometimes traces can be damaged

#

but if that happens, buy an anti-lottery ticket.

#

the real problem of PCI/gpu sag manifests itself in shipping prebuilts without the cardboard gpu support.

#

of course, the cardinal rules of connectors still apply

#

never apply perpendicular excessive force to connectors

#

never unplug things by pulling on the cable itself.

barren wadi Nov 4, 2021, 5:14 PM

just stop them one by one with your finger

#

lightly press on the central hub of the fan until it stops

#

and whichever that stops also stops the sound is the faulty fan

#

Is there any harm to the system if nothing is done about it?

merry bay Nov 4, 2021, 5:18 PM

#

Annoying noise, and it's a sign of failure. Fan might perform worse or fail completely.

#

Will one fan giving out be catastrophic? Depends which fan is it

barren wadi Nov 4, 2021, 5:21 PM

#

basically

torn ferry Nov 4, 2021, 5:44 PM

#

I'd have to dismantle some of the fans to test it.

#

What do I do if the case fans that I have, only have one side where they can be stopped from?

#

I have the Corsair QL120 fans, and the bottom three fans are intake.

cinder crypt Nov 4, 2021, 7:15 PM

#

just like he said put your finger in the middle of the fan on hub and gently stop it if the noise stops then bam you found your faulty fan

dry hollow Nov 5, 2021, 1:46 AM

#

Could also unplug the fan and turn the system on to see if its going bad but stopping it while its on is quicker

I work at a distribution center for Target. When we scan the barcode on a box it tells us what box to use. If we use the wrong box it gets sent to quality assurance.
The conveyor has a scale on it as well and it will also send it to them if we don't put enough air pillows inside.
We can complain all we want but there's nothing we can really do about it

abstract kite Hey guys any recommendations for high quality headphones for streaming? Open bac...

from personal experience I wouldn't recommend having open back headphones if you are the one streaming. The sound from your headphones will be picked up by your mic (just an assumption that you'll have a hot mic while streaming, if not this point is moot) ...if you really want to get open back I'd suggest Sennheiser HD 600s. Those are 400 dollar headphones and I'm not sure what your budget is. If you want a lower price go get the Sennheiser HD6XX on MassDrop. Not as high quality, and their customer service sucks. But you still get close to the real thing for 150 dollars less. If you're more on a budget (less than 200 dollars) I've heard some good things about Philips open back headphones. Also the Audio Technica ATH-AD900Xs are a good choice for under 200 dollars. Obviously quality takes a big hit at this price range, but you get what you pay for. Hope this helps and good luck!

Itx is a better choice for a lot of moving

I probably need a new case seeing as mine is apparently really small and people are surprised I was able to fit a D-15 in it. What's a good airflow case, mine is one of those with two push fans next to the mobo and one exhaust with a mesh bottom

i have not added anymore fans @viral geode and the airflow is awsome the temps are at 32 c to 28 idle and 68 under max load

I've mixed ram a few times, usually you won't have an issue (mixed sizes and speeds before)
You might get a crash once in a blue moon from my experience.
If you really feel like trying it just know if the dimms are at different speeds the xmp or docp profile will load the slowest speed

#

I'd also make sure your board supports the capacity (assuming you haven't done that already)

How do I initialize a drive?

Do I select MBR or GPT?

cinder crypt Nov 25, 2021, 1:53 AM

gpt @torn ferry

#

MBR is old

#

GPT is for newer systems

late sorrel Nov 25, 2021, 2:28 AM

#

Master Boot Record vs GUID Partition Table

#

MBR limits the sizes of how big the drives can be (2tb) and they are 32 bit, but GPT / UEFI is the new one that is 62 bit

#

Because 64 bit is soooo big you won't need much

#

[for the average user]

How do I solve old games crashing?

#

Like, for instance, when I try playing Monstrum, the game's icon pops up briefly in the taskbar, then disappears immediately after.

fleet canopy Nov 25, 2021, 9:34 PM

#

I thought maybe you were talking of the GPU being incompatible with the game, but it's only released in 2015 so

#

However, if it's a very old game, and it won't run, usually I think it's due to the drivers not being matched for a game

#

But this one I think might be a common fix for the game itself

#

perhaps one of the fixes here might help https://gamerinfo.net/game/monstrum/technical-issues/

I also need advice on cable managing with the 280X.

Does it matter whether the AIO tubes are going to the right or left?

And I have the front fans as intake and the top radiator as exhaust.

Any advice for where to start?

#

Would it not make any difference for airflow if the bottom dust filter was removed?

fleet canopy Nov 25, 2021, 11:02 PM

#

It'd keep the dust from underneath going in

#

For cable management I have no idea

torn ferry Nov 25, 2021, 11:03 PM

#

So should I or not remove the bottom dust filter?

#

I don’t think I can fit fans underneath either due to the fans getting in the way of the 2.0 headers underneath on the board.

#

I’m just concerned about temperatures.

bright shard Nov 25, 2021, 11:50 PM

You can always buy slim fans

Taking bottom fan filters off does not only mean dust, but also spiders and bugs

I had one! Half penny sized hole. Would always find dead spiders

bright shard Nov 26, 2021, 4:37 PM

#

TVs often have strange refresh rate behavior

#

like fake 60hz or other nonsense

#

get the bottom one (monitor) hands down.

hasty prawn Nov 26, 2021, 5:01 PM

#

@bright shard The LG c1 is a 120hz hdmi 2.1 oled tv I am not sure what you mean about faked 60hz you mean for tvs that dont support VRR ?

bright shard Nov 26, 2021, 5:08 PM

#

while the tv itself supports the given Hz, the display driver on the tv itself might be using non-disable-able trickery to optimize television content.

#

also its an oled which is still pretty bad for static content

trim breach Nov 26, 2021, 5:11 PM

#

hasty prawn <@!97053039499673600> The LG c1 is a 120hz hdmi 2.1 oled tv I am not sure what ...

fake in the sense that they use BFI (black frame insertion) or they create a motion blurred frame between two frames to make is seem smoother

#

there are ways to find out if the refresh rate claims are true (like the manufacturer, panel type and full spec sheet) but for general consumer use it doesn't really matter

#

if you are planning on gaming on it though and want a very good experience, then the bottom one is the better choice

#

also costs less

#

but in the end you compromise on watching tv in general

bright shard Nov 26, 2021, 5:16 PM

#

but using a tv as a monitor escapes the general consumer use case.
So, its 2 votes for the bottom monitor.

trim breach Nov 26, 2021, 5:16 PM

#

yeah for such a use, the bottom one makes more sense

bright shard Nov 26, 2021, 5:16 PM

the response time on the tv is probably going to be quite a bit worse.

trim breach Nov 26, 2021, 5:16 PM

depends which

dry hollow Nov 26, 2021, 11:25 PM

torn ferry Nov 27, 2021, 2:48 AM

#

Probably a dumb question, but is it better to just disconnect it off the motherboard and stash the cable in the back, or would cutting the cable completely do no harm to the rest of the system if it's just a front panel connector that isn't the LED connectors or USB 3.0 Headers?

bright shard Nov 27, 2021, 2:54 AM

you cant disconnect, stuff behind back panel and reconnect?

because thats what i always do.

also never cut cables.

#

Is there too small of a gap underneath the motherboard to route the GPU cable?

bright shard Nov 27, 2021, 3:25 AM

#

you probably could

#

but also, you have plenty of room to route your front panel headers behind the back panel, rather than under the gpu.

#

the bind of that is, you might need to undo some of the mobo screws to get the connector under the motherboard

#

to slip it through the cable hole.

#

@torn ferry

#

if we're talking cosmetics, my current thoughts are.

#

Route the cables underneath the GPU through the back panel.

#

rotate the front panel fans so you can route those big ass cables out of sight.

Which cables specifically can I route underneath?

means the lights on the ram or fans if they are corsair are not going to work

my dad and me had a problem with the triangle and the reason was there was another program trying to use the lights and wasnt letting icue control the lights on ram

if it continues to do it forceing an update on the ram stick fixed it for a little

if the psu was failing you would think it would stop supplying power not keep supplying if the whole system refused to shutdown maybe but just the light no probably not

Something to check is pressing the power button once and see if it shuts down by itself. Could be something with windows not completing the shutdown procedure

Unlock frame rate.
Use more CPU if it quite underutilized or GPU is shit.
Hop into a game and play with the queue frames until you notice fps get considerably stable or stop increasing. Also keep in mind the larger the queue the more added latency you will have.

Definitely try raising your fan speeds

You took the plastic off the cpu cooler coldplate right.?

Also, is that 80c full constant load?

Because 80c on benchmarks is great

#

80c playing a vidya is iffy.

wild gull Dec 9, 2021, 9:43 AM

#

yeah that and also check how the temps are during a stress test

#

if your cpu is overheating and clocking down then there might be something wrong with your aio

#

or just try playing a game and monitoring speeds and temperature with something like hwinfo

Does benchmarks have to be 100% load?

fleet canopy Dec 9, 2021, 8:06 PM

All benchmark will try to make your GPU or cpu do its maximum

Sort of

#

Usually separate, they’ll try to focus on only GPU or cpu

I'm just wondering if I did something wrong, or if my PSU is actually damaged from when I accidentally dropped it from a 27 inch height, or from when I accidentally started putting the screw in the top right section of grill holes on the back instead of where it's supposed to go.

fleet canopy Dec 9, 2021, 8:08 PM

#

A benchmark is supposed to make your GPU and cpu do 100% so

#

If you’re doing a GPU test that’s not 100%, while your cpu is, then your cpu is unable to have your GPU do its best

#

Unless it’s a cpu benchmark

#

Then it’s fine

So far you haven't really mentioned any PSU defects and seems like it functions fine in day-to-day tasks. If it was broken after a fall there'd be failures, not a slight deviation in voltage that results in surprise heat.

65 is kinda too low, more like 70-73

#

But I guess intel CPUs are usually that hot, for the GPU idk why other than possibly bad airflow case

#

Would it make any difference at all if I did any, or all, of these three things?

Buying the Corsair Crystal 680X case feet which are much higher than the 280X case feet, so the case sits higher up off the ground.
Buying washers for all the glass panel screws so all glass panels sit higher up off the case.
Removing the top glass panel entirely.
