[lone pond]

but ram speed 🤔

[frozen seal]

xmp just isnt enabled

you can see that it's 3600

[lone pond]

oh its down there

my bad

[proven trout]

Anything I should change in there?

[lone pond]

not used to asus bios

[lone pond]

no its alright

oh wait

omg

[frozen seal]

if the memory being at 100% is the issue... shouldnt xmp be enabled?

[lone pond]

let me check xmp profiles about this board lol

@proven trout go to advanced mode and try to find XMP and enable it

[proven trout]

Okay

[lone pond]

its not just for this problem it reducing performance in general

[proven trout]

Okay so I got it to record and it’s not blacking out on the recording

I’ll restart though and try to enable xmp

[lone pond]

thats little good sign

[proven trout]

Do you know there the xmp would be?

[frozen seal]

maybe under advanced?

could also be called extreme memory profile

[lone pond]

yeah probably under advanced

[proven trout]

I’m not seeing it under any of these

[lone pond]

oh check tweaker section too

its not here

[proven trout]

Is it docp?

[lone pond]

yes

[proven trout]

What should I change them to?

[lone pond]

i think thats what amd calls to xmp lol

[proven trout]

Actually it doesn’t give me any other options

[lone pond]

check to see if theres any other profile at fisrt 2 option

[proven trout]

Except auto

Unless under pole fclk frequency that one is on auto right now

There’s no options under the first two except auto on the first one

[lone pond]

then leave it alone it seems ok 🤔 (im not experienced about amd system lol )

[proven trout]

Lol I know nothing about anything in bios 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

So you know more than me at least

If it’s the memory would I just fix that by adding more?

Or is it likely something else since it’s not blacking out when recording?

[livid idol]

DOCP is the memory speed it reads from the XMP profile

[proven trout]

And lowering the resolution and taking it out of fullscreen seems to help

I’ll buy whatever I need to fix it lol I’m just at a loss on what to do

As soon as my boyfriend gets home I’ll have him pull the cords out to try that, the case is huge lol and heavy 😂

It’s hard to see but this is the cord that’s connected now. It splits to two at the card but only one part going to the psu

[lone pond]

no leave it alone

yeah thats best to connect 2 separate cables if theres any other cable

and since you opened case just reseat gpu too

[proven trout]

Okay I figured the memory was fine there’s not much installed on the computer or much running

How would I reset the gpu? Is there button or disconnect it or?

[raw vector]

unplug and take it out its pci express slot

[proven trout]

Okay

[raw vector]

wait reset or reseat?

[subtle flicker]

Clean your screen lol 😆

[lone pond]

reseat xd

[proven trout]

Lmao yea it needs to be

[lone pond]

take out gpu and plug it again xd

[proven trout]

Okay lol I’ll do that to!

[lone pond]

and i messaged it to my friend he's more experienced about it waiting for response lol

[raw vector]

wait what was the original problemo

[subtle flicker]

Yeah sorry I just see that pic of your screen...I have no idea of what your guys are talking about xd

[lone pond]

@raw vector screen blacking out while gaming xd

[raw vector]

oh

[proven trout]

Thank you for helping! Hopefully something will help 😫 it’s been like this for a while I’ve just not been worrying about it

[raw vector]

@proven trout

do u have the latest drivers

[proven trout]

Yes

[lone pond]

@raw vector it also not blacking out in recording

[raw vector]

did u buy ur gpu from wish for 3 dollars

[proven trout]

I also did a complete uninstall and reinstall of the gpu drivers

[proven trout]

Lmao no

[lone pond]

lol

[proven trout]

It’s the 2070 super gigabyte one also if that helps

[raw vector]

nice card

can u do an occt test

[proven trout]

What’s that? Sorry I don’t know a ton about troubleshooting I just built it from recommendations on what to get lol

[raw vector]

its a stability and stress test on the gpu

and other stuff

[proven trout]

I’m totally willing to do it. Is there something to download to test it?

[lone pond]

occt test is good idea too 🤔

[raw vector]

i havent used it in a while

someone give em the link to the site

[subtle flicker]

Yeah, ok so, I just read your problem ...maybe is just the screen or the hdmi cable that is problematic..idk
:) Just an idea

[proven trout]

It started shortly after we got it, maybe a month or two, only with cod then started doing it to apex as well

[proven trout]

We are definitely going to try a new dp cord and switching to two power cords instead of just one, I’m just waiting for my boyfriend to get home so he can move it around so I can get into it

[lone pond]

lol this is stupid but it can be bad power plug too lol

[raw vector]

occt woulld help with that

it can test psu

[lone pond]

yeah

[proven trout]

Okay cool! I just need to figure out where to do that lol

[raw vector]

OCCT is great at generating heavy loads on your components ( CPU, GPU, Memory, GPU Memory & Power supply ) , and aims at detecting hardware errors or stability issues faster than anything else. A monitoring engine is also embedded, to ease diagnostic and see how your computer reacts under heavy load using graphs.

[lone pond]

https://www.ocbase.com/ download it ig xd

[raw vector]

yep

[proven trout]

Cause it doesn’t black out during a recording the recording stays on even though it blacks out for me

[proven trout]

Downloading now

[raw vector]

first test gpu and vram

then do psu

[proven trout]

What do I click to do the separately?

Or what should I specify on the test part?

[raw vector]

do vram

[proven trout]

And just hit the play button?

[raw vector]

pretty sure

[proven trout]

I think it’s going

[raw vector]

o den vram is gooooood

but uh

let it run for like 5 minutes

[proven trout]

Okay

[raw vector]

in the meantime watch some cat videos

[proven trout]

What’s iterations?

[lone pond]

cats ❤️

[proven trout]

It has 4 there now

[raw vector]

it·er·a·tion
/ˌidəˈrāSH(ə)n/
Learn to pronounce
noun
the repetition of a process or utterance.

so its repeating the vram test

[proven trout]

Okay lol

So it’s not bad for it to go up then

[remote elbow]

anyone got a 3080 they want to sell me?

[raw vector]

alright switch over to a psu test now

[proven trout]

Okay. It shows no errors there with 11 iterations

[raw vector]

thats a good thing

[proven trout]

Okay well now the screen is blacking out on that one now

[raw vector]

its blacking out on what

[proven trout]

The psu test

[raw vector]

ok then i think we got our problem!

[lone pond]

ok seems like power problem

[raw vector]

how manys watts is ur psu

[proven trout]

850

[raw vector]

that should be good for a 2070s

try doing the psu test again

if ur able too

just to make sure

[proven trout]

Okay I’ll restart it again

[lone pond]

@raw vector but he connected one pcie with 2 ends thats a thing too

[raw vector]

o

[proven trout]

I’m clicking power

[raw vector]

make test go for 1 minute

[proven trout]

Yea the cord that goes from the psu to the gpu is one but splits off at the graphics card to go to the two different parts on it

[raw vector]

alright 1 minute then play the test

[lone pond]

if its 850w theres definitely more cables . connect 2 separate cables to it is best

[raw vector]

wont hurt to do that ig

unless its modular and they lost some cables

[lone pond]

lol

i hope they didnt

[raw vector]

but if that happend u can get some nice new braided cables

[proven trout]

Yea it has the cables you can take out and only hook what you need up, I’m pretty sure we have more in the box that came with it. I’ll have to check.

I sent a video of what it does, it’s stuck on a blank screen now

[raw vector]

alright

it seems like that is the problemo

[lone pond]

dead psu 🤔

[raw vector]

i dont think dead

cuz if it was dead it wouldnt boot at all

the gpu not getting enough power could cause the black screen outage

[lone pond]

if it have another 8pin , connect it and give a try

[proven trout]

Screen is still black even though the test is done, computer is still on though. Only way I’ve been able to get it back is restarting

[raw vector]

wait

does ur cpu have integrated graphics

[lone pond]

3700x doesnt have

[raw vector]

ah its 3700x

[proven trout]

ryzen 7 3700x

[lone pond]

it failing on psu test but not in vram test 🤔

[raw vector]

the reason the recording is still on is cuz the cpu is getting power and so is everything else

maybe the vram test doesnt take that much power

[proven trout]

Should I test anything else?

[raw vector]

first get the 8 pin then try other things if dont work

but if u need to do a gpu test do the one that says 3d

[proven trout]

Okay!!

[lone pond]

realised thing that you have b450 board and 3700x cpu 🤔 actually id check for bios update too 🤔

[proven trout]

What’s 8 pin?

[raw vector]

at the end of the connector

it has 8 pins

[lone pond]

that cable goes to gpu

[raw vector]

should look like this

[lone pond]

this is 6+2 xd

[raw vector]

oh yeah

still it'll have 8 pins

just realized something

[proven trout]

I think the one that’s on it now has 4, 4 and 2 then 2 not connected to anything

[proven trout]

Yes

How would I check if it needs an update?

[raw vector]

could old bios cause those crashes tho

[lone pond]

yeah

amd

[raw vector]

lets try not to get offtrack tho

first we should try the power cables do another psu test then we can try bios

[proven trout]

Okay!

Let me pull out the box and stuff

[raw vector]

what

ouch

[proven trout]

Lmao I just don’t know much about any of this stuff lol

[lone pond]

lol

[raw vector]

now depending on case and psu u might have to disconnect everything and put in the cable

but most likely not

[lone pond]

let me check pics and try to see your bios version

[proven trout]

It’s the razer 011 dynamic case I think

[raw vector]

oh yeah u'll be good

[raw vector]

oh damn

thats a nice pc

i like how razer usb's are green

[proven trout]

It is 😫 it makes me sad it hasn’t been working

[raw vector]

it should be good soon

but uh

if bios and connector doesnt work

it could just be a faulty wall outlet

[lone pond]

very old bios version

[raw vector]

oh....

[lone pond]

Version 2007
2020/01/16

[raw vector]

what brand bios is it

[lone pond]

its asus

[raw vector]

eh asus has a pretty good guide on it

[lone pond]

b450 pro

Version 2409
2020/12/07 this one is last stable one

[proven trout]

My picture won’t send for some reason of the other cord I have

[raw vector]

ah yeah

should prolly update bios after this

asus has a good guide on how to do it

but the fact that the pc crashed on a power test

[proven trout]

The cord I have one end has 8 the other end has 6+2

[raw vector]

use that i guess

[lone pond]

yeah it makes me think psu is dead to be honest

[raw vector]

put the 8 pin in the power supply and the 6+2 in the gpu

[proven trout]

The one that’s in now the part connected to the gpu is connected with 6+6+2 actually with 2 not connected. I think. I’ll have to pull it out to see what’s connected to the psu

[lone pond]

yeah your card can have one 8 pin and one 6pin

[proven trout]

Just one or the other? Because it’s all connected right now

[lone pond]

you told its gigabyte windforce right ?

[proven trout]

It’s gigabyte geforce the white one

[raw vector]

is it all connected yeeet

[proven trout]

Yea they are all connected the 8 and 6

Is it not supposed to be?

[raw vector]

wdym

i suggest 8 pin in the psu and 6+2 in the gpu

[proven trout]

And not connect anything to the 6 on the gpu?

[raw vector]

o

wait leme check the modle of the 2070s

all the power cables should be connected

[proven trout]

This is how it is right now

[raw vector]

i cant see a thing

[lone pond]

some cards have one 8pin and one 6 pin

[raw vector]

that one has a 8pin and 6pin

make sure both the 6 pin and 8 pin are connected

[proven trout]

This is a little better picture

[raw vector]

oh both are connected

[proven trout]

This is how it’s been connected

[raw vector]

i see its one 6+2 and one 6 pin

[proven trout]

Yes, and it’s one cord going back to the psu

[lone pond]

yeah looks right

[proven trout]

It splits up by the gpu

[dawn plover]

what gpu do you have?

[raw vector]

2070s windforce

but im confused

[dawn plover]

are the cables daisy-chained?

[proven trout]

What’s daisy chained?

[raw vector]

it is

if ur gpu is like this

6 pin goes in 6 pin and 8 pin goes in 8 pin

*psu

[proven trout]

And this doesn’t go to anything

[lone pond]

yep

[dawn plover]

ye lemme check what the tdp on the 2070s

[lone pond]

215w

[raw vector]

yep

[dawn plover]

yeah 215w he should be fine with the daisy-chained cable

[proven trout]

So use two separate cords? One to the 8 and one to the 6?

[raw vector]

y e s

[dawn plover]

75w from the mobo and about 200 from the cable

[proven trout]

I’m having power issues we think

[dawn plover]

you don't have to use two seperate cables

true

[lone pond]

@dawn plover black screen while occt psu test 🤔

[raw vector]

🤔 if it black screened in a psu stress test could it be the psu

[dawn plover]

it does have proper power draw

oh and, what psu does the person have?

[lone pond]

i having doupt about dead psu to be honest but connecting seperate cable can help maybe

[raw vector]

us argueing over what the prob could be doesnt help

we could just try not daisy chaining and go onto the next solution

[dawn plover]

smh

[raw vector]

@proven trout use seperate cables

[proven trout]

Okay I’m pulling the psu out now

[lone pond]

@dawn plover Enermax Revolution DF ERF650AWT 80+ Gold 650W

xd

i have huge doubt its dead to be honest

[raw vector]

if it were dead it wouldnt boot

[dawn plover]

it is a reliable brand

[raw vector]

80+ gold tho

[dawn plover]

if they're still in the warranty period, they can use it

7 years is what the warranty is iirc

[raw vector]

Several people are typing

[proven trout]

So the end of the gpu cord that went to the psu is only an 8 pin

[lone pond]

🤔

[raw vector]

once everything is seperate cables do the occt test again

[lone pond]

should be another 6 pin too xd

[dawn plover]

so what exactly is the problem again? i got lost smh

[raw vector]

screen black screens when playing game

when did occt test it black screened during psu stress test

but content was saved when it black screened

meaning it was just the display that had a problem

gpu

[proven trout]

Psu end on the right gpu on left is what it had in it

[raw vector]

gpu makes the display doesnt it

[lone pond]

ugh

[raw vector]

the 6 pin should be a 6 pin on each end and the 8 pin should be an 8 pin at one end and 6+2 or 8 pin at the other end

the 6 pin can also be a 4+2 pin

[lone pond]

there have 2 another empty slot on psu

you can add another pcie cable if you have one

[dawn plover]

make sure you also have it connected to a pcie output and not sata/molex

[lone pond]

ofc xd

[proven trout]

So the only PCIe cords I have are 8 pin on one side then the other side has a 6+2 and another 6+2 branching off of it if that makes sense

Which is what was originally on it

[lone pond]

check the box if theres another cable like that xd

[proven trout]

I have two like that but no others

[lone pond]

oh you have two

[raw vector]

so do we need more psu pins

[lone pond]

yeah connect both of them to psu and one end of each to gpu . easy

i sent pic of psu

[proven trout]

And just leave the branched off part not connected?

[lone pond]

yes

[proven trout]

This is what I mean by branching off

Full side into psu?

[lone pond]

yep

@proven trout just make sure you connect both of them to pci-e port (on psu) not the sata or something

same lmao

[raw vector]

sounds safe

wdym ur charging me for arson and neglegent murder i said its ur problem not mine

[proven trout]

Okay all hooked separately I’ll try the power test again

[raw vector]

ok

[lone pond]

be careful when you start pc lol

[raw vector]

if u want we can do a live video on genral 1 vc

[proven trout]

Why? Lol it’s started fine

So far no black screen yet

[raw vector]

make sure not to spill a gallon of milk on ur pc

[proven trout]

Did it for a minute and no black screen

[lone pond]

lol just in case if it blows lol xd

[raw vector]

oooooo

ooooooo

[proven trout]

Test went fine it didn’t black out

[raw vector]

damn okay

[lone pond]

then go playyy

[raw vector]

wait no

dont

u still should update ur 1 year old bios

[lone pond]

oh ofc xd

almost forgot bios update

[proven trout]

Yea I figured after you guys said that lol how do I go about that?

[lone pond]

https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/TUF-B450-PRO-GAMING/HelpDesk_BIOS/

[raw vector]

use the video for help

[lone pond]

oh updating bios in wondows is not safe xd

[raw vector]

eh it was on the asus website

@proven trout apparently do not do that

[dawn plover]

it should be on the manufacturers website smh

[proven trout]

Okay. Thank you guys SOO much for you help 🤦🏼‍♀️

Lol at least I now know how to run some of these tests to figure things out

[raw vector]

occt is also helpful for overclocking

it is a year old

from beggining of 2020

[livid idol]

BIOS update is never a bad thing

[raw vector]

still cant belive its 2021

[lone pond]

lol same

[dawn plover]

i'm still stuck in 2016

what a good year it was

[lone pond]

same from 2014 xd

[grave burrow]

im from 1660 with my anicent nokia

pokemon go led to world peace in 2016, clowns during halloween were the only thing to be scared of, and i was just a child in fourth grade

[lone pond]

anytime 😇

[raw vector]

and remember to n o t s p i l l m i l k o n u r p c

am talking from experience

[lone pond]

[dawn plover]

it'd be cool to use your pc as an ez bake oven

[raw vector]

lmfao

[grave burrow]

lol

[dawn plover]

inspiration coming from the coffee maker pc, the microwave pc, and the kfc console

[raw vector]

put it on a gt 1030 as a heatsink

[lone pond]

anyways im glad if we solved problem xd

[grave burrow]

I saw someone fill there pc with water

[raw vector]

not as bad as milk

[dawn plover]

prob mineral oil

[grave burrow]

no it was water lol

[dawn plover]

dang 😳

[grave burrow]

it was dead in the water get it

[raw vector]

dont drop molten lava in ur pc

it might break it

but not sure if it will break it

[dawn plover]

we can always test it

but then again why do it if we know what the outcome is gonna be, it'll just barely crack the tempered glass

[raw vector]

lava wont crack tempered glass?

[dawn plover]

oh sorry

*won't crack

[raw vector]

oh lava is 2000 degrees farenheight

[grave burrow]

what is the point of putting mineral oil in a pc anyway, aesthetics?

[raw vector]

and glass burns at 2800 farenhieght

[dawn plover]

nah

[raw vector]

maybe its like water cooling dave

[dreamy dragon]

Harry boii#3658 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[dawn plover]

aesthetics bruh

[raw vector]

oh

maybe if u have a ton of ram that needs cooling

[dawn plover]

haven't seen one since like 2015 so i don't know if they still exist or if people got bored of them

[raw vector]

could the mineral oil cool it

[dreamy dragon]

Zagdrath#5577 has been warned

[proven trout]

Lmao yea that would be horrible 😂🤣 sorry was putting it all back together

[raw vector]

several people are typing oh no

[proven trout]

Hopefully it will since the test went through fine!

[raw vector]

god bless occt

[lone pond]

hope so . and i recommend update bios later too xd

[raw vector]

get someone to help u tho

u dont wanna break anything

[proven trout]

Yea I definitely don’t want to mess anything up lol I don’t know a ton about that kind of stuff

[raw vector]

firmware can be a bit confusing

[lone pond]

bios update is lil bit risky for beginners but its easy actually xd

[raw vector]

i knew a guy who was wondering why his 2080 ti wasnt working and couldnt run anything

and i asked him "do u have drivers

he said "no"

[lone pond]

lol

[faint steeple]

lol

[proven trout]

At least I know what those are lmao

[raw vector]

i told him to install drivers but he told me "nah that sounds too hard"

[faint steeple]

tell him to install geforce experience

it auto grabs drivers

[raw vector]

this was like a year ago

[faint steeple]

lol

[raw vector]

instead one he built the pc

he ducking went to best buy to ask what is wrong with it

even tho i told him drivers will fix it

[faint steeple]

[lone pond]

once I installed cpu cooler without pullling out plastic cover on cooler lmao xd

so embarresing xd

[raw vector]

also that same guy was wondering why his cpu temps where so high

i told him did u put thermal paste on

[lone pond]

lol

[raw vector]

the guy just said whats thermal paste

[lone pond]

rip

[raw vector]

ive always wanted to make a diy cpu cooler with a case fan

[dawn plover]

that'd be cool

[lone pond]

i installed cpu cooler to gpu before xd

[raw vector]

wha

[lone pond]

its much better than gpu cooler lol

believe me its better than own cooler xd

[raw vector]

i mean in terms the terms of what the chip looks like the cpu and the gpu chip are kinda the same

but mounting it is the real problem

[lone pond]

i broke wings of cooler and couldnt find replacement part so i installed cpu cooler to it ( luckily i had room under gpu lol) lmao

temps was about 50C under max load lmao

it was little loud tho xd

[raw vector]

can i fill a aio with milk

[lone pond]

🤔

[raw vector]

or just any water cooler

i mean it would go bad and smell but then again

but then again

milk is a bit more dense

[lone pond]

water have best temp values xd

[raw vector]

https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/could-you-water-cool-with-milk.3110342/

oooooo

[dawn plover]

there's this meme i saw of a bean cooled pc

looked cool ngl

i hope the pump was broken already

pumps are pricey

[lone pond]

lol

[dawn plover]

it'd be nice to have brown liquid tho

a black/brown themed pc would look nice tbh, with some wood accents

Hello, is there anybody know how enabled the pcie slot on the z490-p motherboard ? I don’t know is this the good place to ask

[knotty jetty]

is it even possible to get an rtx 2060 at a reasonable price anymore lol

[stuck rivet]

As someone that just bought a 3090, 5900x I don’t know how to answer what reasonable is anymore. I’m lost.

I’m staying at my sisters and I miss my computer like it’s a lover.

[analog shore]

Hey so a friend of mine is selling a GPU that i plan to buy from him. Recently ive been using VMs alot and i was wondering if its a possible thing to run 2 gpus inside my PC not in SLI and have it so that 1 GPU is dedicated to the VM and then the other GPU is dedicated to my main PC.
Is this a thing? Or am i just making up stupid non worthwile stuff?

[proven trout]

Hey! You happen to be on?

[proven trout]

Hey. I know you were helping some with my problem yesterday. It started black screening again so should I go ahead with the bios update? And any recommendations on doing it

Yes

And switched to two separate power cords from one

It’s a 2070 super gigabyte, we completely uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers. It blacks out on the occt power test

Just built it a little less than a year ago

Okay thank you

[raw vector]

am back

what happennddddddddd

[proven trout]

I posted a few pics from in the bios yesterday if that helps anything to know what version I have

[proven trout]

It started black screening on games again 😩

[raw vector]

ughhhhhhhhhhh

do the 3D test on occt

[proven trout]

Okay

Should I change shader complexity or leave it at 3?

And how long to run that one?

[raw vector]

leave it at default and go for a min

[proven trout]

Okay

[raw vector]

yknow

[proven trout]

Oh yep it black screened there to

[raw vector]

i wonder if its a thermal paste on the gpu chip issue

[proven trout]

In and out

[raw vector]

does the gpu thermal throttle

[proven trout]

How would I check that or tell?

[raw vector]

NZXT cam

its some software to check ur cpu and gpu temps and other stuff

[proven trout]

Okay I’ll download it

[lone pond]

i dont think its thermal problem . we set temp limit 75C on afterburner

[proven trout]

Thank you! I really appreciate all the hello

Help **

[raw vector]

alr then

[proven trout]

So I have the nzxt downloaded what would I do next to let you know if it’s doing it or not

[raw vector]

open it

[proven trout]

650w

[raw vector]

850

oops

[proven trout]

Ryzen 7 3700x

Nope

[raw vector]

do u got an extra junk gpu @proven trout

[dapper ginkgo]

That's crazy warm for idle. Are you running the PC in a sauna?

Loads say idle

[raw vector]

i dont think it was during a load....

[proven trout]

That’s what happens during the 3D test on the gpu section

This is the cpu

[proven trout]

I have my sons 1050ti lol

Nope no oc

[raw vector]

if u use that one maybe u could find out if ur gpu is the problem

cuz it blackscreens in the 3d test right?

[proven trout]

Yep in the 3D test

[lone pond]

in that case bios and chipset driver updates might help . or psu failure or card failure . replacing parts is best way to see where is problem if you have extra parts

[proven trout]

I know it works okay once we take games out of fullscreen and turn down the FPS and resolution

[lone pond]

might gpu having problem with power components too

tring with 1050 wouldnt give answer

[raw vector]

yo brittany

when did u get the 2070s

[proven trout]

Like April 2020

[raw vector]

well try contacting gigabyte and tell them ur gpu is faulty and see if u can get a replacement

even if its not try contacting them anyways

[proven trout]

Okay I’ll definitely try that

It’s been like this for a while too we just haven’t been playing games so I didn’t try to figure it out since everything else works

[raw vector]

wait

isnt the white 2070super

factory overclocked

[proven trout]

It’s a white one

[raw vector]

im on the gigabyte website and it says 2070super oc

theres no non oc white 2070s

where did u buy it brittany

on the website it says 4 year warranty....

[proven trout]

I think Newegg I’m checking now

Either there or Amazon

Newegg

[raw vector]

newegg ones are refurbs

and i cant find the white one on newegg

[raw vector]

ohh im on .ca

[proven trout]

4/22/2020 is when I bought it

[raw vector]

link the thing

Limited Warranty period (labor): 3 years

call the support number

[proven trout]

Okay

[raw vector]

1-626-854-9338

[proven trout]

they're closed 😦

[raw vector]

they got a support website

https://www.gigabyte.com/Support/Graphics-Card

[proven trout]

how do i find which bios version i have? its asking for it

[raw vector]

hm

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

@sterile parcel do u know how to do this

yeah i really dont know how to find gpu bios

[proven trout]

is it asking for gpu bios?

[raw vector]

prolly

it is support for the gpu

[worn gazelle]

use gpuz

[tender mulch]

Gpu-z is a great way also

[worn gazelle]

yes

[tender mulch]

I am

Dont tell me what to do

[proven trout]

??

[tender mulch]

To find gpu bios version

[proven trout]

I sent in a ticket. I found the gpu bios version and driver versions since it was asking for both

[raw vector]

alright then wait ig

however if u wanna make sure the gpu is the problemo u can try the 1050 ti and doing a 3d and power test with it

[proven trout]

if it doesn't black out then its likely the gpu not getting enough power? or something else?

[raw vector]

if the gtx 1050 ti blacks out then yeah its the powerrrrrr

[proven trout]

my son has a psu too but its way older and not modular. i dont even remember the wattage on it

[lone pond]

its probably not ratet for 2070 lol but you also can try lower power limit to 50% or something to see if it helps

[remote nymph]

anyone looking for a 3070 that isnt well overpriced?

[raw vector]

read the rules oliver

read rule 9 oliver

so brittany move the 1050 ti to ur system and do the 3d test

but make sure to install the 1050 ti drivers tho

[remote nymph]

im talking, rog strix for $740

uhh im not personally selling

im just trying to help people get a new gpu without paying the scalpers price

i bought a rog strix 3070 and its supposed to be in monday

@raw vector

i know u cant sell on here

[raw vector]

u got a 3070 for 740 dollars?

[remote nymph]

maybe i should post it in tech deals

yes!

the rog strix

i'll show it monday

yep

and on stuff like ebay it sells for $950 i think

[raw vector]

u can get a 6800 xt for 650

[remote nymph]

it's hard to find a 3080 lol

[raw vector]

at best buy

[remote nymph]

yeah, but stock..

it's extremely hard to find one in stock

[raw vector]

what i did was call best buy and make a hold for me

[remote nymph]

ah

[proven trout]

okay ill do that next

[raw vector]

okie

[remote nymph]

that's not a terrible idea

how long did it take you to receive it?

tbh idk if my bestbuy ever gets them.. they dont have any gpus in stock

[raw vector]

have u also tried micro center

they have a ton of gpu stock

[remote nymph]

ye but i dont have a local one

microcenter was one of my first attempts

[raw vector]

yeah just call best buy and ask them when they will get more stock

and beg for a hold

[remote nymph]

i might

im over this rx 560 tho

i really wanna play mfs2020

and this thing cant touch it

[raw vector]

whats ur cpu

[remote nymph]

r7 3700x

[raw vector]

oh yeah thats good

[remote nymph]

ye, built this pc back in july

and just took my old gpu

cause i was gonna get a 2070 super until i heard about 3000s series releasing

[raw vector]

smh 3090 sucks

gt 210 is best gpu

oooooooo

if u dont care about rtx go for a radeon 6000 series

[lone pond]

amd graphics

[raw vector]

yikes nvidia fanboy muchhh

the price to performance of the amd cards when not using rt is pretty good

[lone pond]

RT isn't gonna be equivalent on AMD if nvidia keeps it up

they a whole gen ahead so they're setup to have the advantage

especially with more money to burn

[raw vector]

is RT really important tho

most games look good as it is

minecraft rt thoo

[lone pond]

RT still needs to be implemented in the games that will look good with it

only games that has been shown for that kind of stuff is mc and cyberpunk

with the occasional rarity

yea

i havent seen a difference with it just because i move so fast

[raw vector]

Control is just an rt benchmark at this point

||i dont need a game to see exploding infected people jumping into me||

[remote nymph]

i need to get a 1tb nvme too

i just went and ordered a pistol earlier this morning though so i'll wait another week or something if it's still on sale

[raw vector]

alright i suggest getting 10thousand dollar 1tb intel optane

[remote nymph]

i think im gonna get the samsung evo plus

[raw vector]

980 or 970

[remote nymph]

but to match my other ssd i would need a wd black

970

[raw vector]

make sure ur wifi doesnt bottleneck the ssd

[remote nymph]

just really for game storage

[raw vector]

used ssd yeah seems safe

[remote nymph]

this 500gb isnt enough for windows and select games

[raw vector]

u belive a random guy on ebay?

fake reviews and sales are possible tho

just if soemthing is too good to be true

it is

i sold my mom on ebay

i mean

or craigslist

perhaps..... my bus driver

[remote nymph]

lmao thats for a 250gb version i believe

all the ones i see are multioptions

[raw vector]

scalpin i see

friend discount is only 50% more than what i paid for it!

[remote nymph]

what kind u lookin for?

i might go but a nvme today idk

buy

this tariff ruined the market tho

u can buy my rx 560

performs like a 3090

[raw vector]

my gt 210 performes better than the geforce 256! buy it now!

[proven trout]

So with the 1050ti in ran the power and 3D test and it didn’t black out at any point, going to try a game since that’s usually where it starts messing up

[raw vector]

ok then

@proven trout

that means its the 2070super thats the problemo

[proven trout]

Yea no blacking out on apex yet either

Yesterday it worked for a couple of games before blacking out

So you thinking the 2070 is bad or it’s not getting enough power?

[restive apex]

Does anyone know a gpu that wont bottlneck my A8 6410 amd apu?

[lone pond]

I need a 1070 and quick. Where’s the cheapest place to buy?

[remote nymph]

@proven trout what power supply you got?

[remote elbow]

does anyone have free money to give me?

[lone pond]

EBEGGER

[toxic sinew]

Read the rules.

[raw vector]

@proven trout u could do another power test on occt to see if it is actually the psu being hte prob

wha

did i just download

nvm its just a vid

[toxic sinew]

Second time today someone spammed every channel with something stupid.

[raw vector]

i n d e e d

[sleek turtle]

Where should I look for graphic cards

[honest gull]

is a 3070 better than a 2080 super?

[worldly skiff]

Yes

[honest gull]

Okay

so i had a 2080 super and am upgrading so i should get 3070

[latent vine]

2080 super is still good

[honest gull]

well seeing as how my dad slammed my old system into the floor i doubt it works

[latent vine]

What? xD

[honest gull]

yeah he got mad so he picked it up and just dropped it on the floor from 7 feet

from the looks front panel shattered, case is broken as none of the side panels even fit it and noctua nh d15 is bent

everything else looks intact though

[latent vine]

You can test it and i still would wait for the prices to lower

[sleek turtle]

How long should I wait to get a graphics card

And where would I even look to get one

...

sorry

new to PCs

Ok

Ok I will wait

Will the price lower when newer graphics cards come out

Oh

Dang ok

[proven trout]

It didn’t black out on the power test with the 650w

I unfortunately don’t have a higher psu just the one in my sons but it’s only a 550w

[proven trout]

It’s a 650w revolution df

Sorry I have no idea why these messages just came through, I’ve been studying 🤦🏼‍♀️

[lone pond]

I'd recommend get new psu . even if your card is defective , you'll need better psu if you buy new 3070 or 3080 🤔

[proven trout]

Yea we’ll need the new psu eventually anyways

[lone pond]

yep

and make sure its tier a

to be honest I'd update bios and chipset drivers since its b450 chip

[raw vector]

what

if ur getting a 3070 isnt a 550watt reccomended

[lone pond]

@#3658 no 650

and 750 for 3080

[raw vector]

ah

but nvidia does the reccomendations with an i9 10900k

[lone pond]

good 750w should be ok

corsair cx750M or evga supernova. or leadex

nice one

[raw vector]

can a 2000 watt powersupply power my gt210 and a 1st gen celeron

[lone pond]

its not enough but u can run it lol 😂

no pcie power 😂

life was easier 😂

[raw vector]

will a 1000 mile long nuclear generator be able to power it

[lone pond]

Maybe xd

[raw vector]

nvm it wont

if i were able to harness the power of anti matter could i run it

[lone pond]

you should need supernova power 😂

[raw vector]

dang

[proven trout]

I think the 2070super recommends 650w maybe that’s why? Maybe I should’ve went with 750w

Sounds good. We’ll be upgrading to the 3080 at some point anyways

[raw vector]

will my 5 dollar psu from wish be able to run 3090+10900k

[proven trout]

Do you have a recommendation on any particular one?

[raw vector]

get one that looks good and performes well

[proven trout]

Lmao yea I think the one I have was 140$ when I bought it

[raw vector]

Corsair RM 2019 750w

[lone pond]

evga psus are good in general

[raw vector]

EVGA is good in gerneral

[proven trout]

I don’t mind as far as price goes I’m willing to spend to get something that will work and last

[toxic sinew]

https://linustechtips.com/topic/1116640-psucultists-psu-tier-list/

[proven trout]

Okay cool thank you!
I’m pretty sure the one I have now, the brand isn’t the best but the particular model I got was good. It was recommended a while back

So I definitely know brand and model both make a difference

[lone pond]

model is important brand is not

[toxic sinew]

All do lmao

[raw vector]

smh just get a 20 dollar 1000 watt psu on wish

what's yalls opinion on thermaltake

[lone pond]

this is platinum and good tier

[lone pond]

i have thermaltake so far

[raw vector]

[proven trout]

The last one you sent?

[toxic sinew]

$200? just for RGB Gold

[lone pond]

yep

[raw vector]

i meant to do the non rgb one

[lone pond]

Thermaltake Toughpower 750w rgb i got it for 110$ xd

[lone pond]

i already linked good thermaltake one up there

[raw vector]

anyway since the power test on occt worked then currently the psu is not the problemo

its prolly the power connector

[lone pond]

but it was with 1050ti 🤔 its not 100% answer

[raw vector]

wdym

[proven trout]

With the 2070 is blacked out the 1050ti it didn’t

[raw vector]

so the 2070 has a fualty power connector prolly

[proven trout]

The 2070 didn’t at first then it did after a few hours

[lone pond]

1050ti is 75w gpu

[raw vector]

but the power test on occt uses all of the psu

it maxes it out

[lone pond]

yep thats a thing 🤔

can be dead gpu 🤔

[raw vector]

its most likely a dead gpu

[lone pond]

should we test it with limited power ? 🤔

[lone pond]

yep . actually im pretty sure bios and chipset driver updates also can help but

[proven trout]

If it’s a dead gpu would it work and then quit though or not work at all?

[lone pond]

i had black screen error little similar to this before. thankfully clearing cmos and updating bios fixed it 🤔

[raw vector]

if its a lil bit of a dead power connector it could die under load cuz it cant get all of the power needed

[lone pond]

yeah . some power components can be dead so its failing under load

[lone pond]

i'd also try to set lower power limit with afterburner and see whats going on 🤔

[raw vector]

oooh yeah msi afterburner is good

[lone pond]

actually only way is test this pc with better psu and test that gpu on another pc

[raw vector]

some pc shops could test and find out the problemo

[lone pond]

yep lol

i have everything to test it at home so lol

[raw vector]

i suggest not sending a 700 dollar gpu to a random person on discord tho

[lone pond]

i didnt meant it lol

i meant i dont need any pc shop since i have 2 pc at home so i can change psu and gpu

[raw vector]

do u use a testbench case

[lone pond]

anyways she planning upgrade to 3080 anyways she gonna need better psu . she can buy psu in advance and also can make sure that is card defective or not

[lone pond]

no i just have 2 pc xd actually 3 but using 2 xd

[onyx reef]

Do you guys think graphic card stock and prices will return semi-normal by July?

Or June?

[raw vector]

prolly

is what i hope

[onyx reef]

Like 1700 Dollars for a 3080 is crazy

I want to get one but that seems insane

[raw vector]

where tf are u getting those numbers

get a 3080 from best buy

[toxic sinew]

They do not cost that much

When they go in stock they dont cost that lmao

[onyx reef]

I can't see stock

At big retailers

[raw vector]

call best buy and ask them to hold it for you

worked for me

[toxic sinew]

You are most likely looking at 3rd party sellers who are scalping

Join stock drops discord or something

[onyx reef]

How long did it take you to get one @raw vector

[raw vector]

when i called them they said sure i guess

then it took em like 2 weeks for it to come into stock

prolly just got lucky or smthn

[onyx reef]

2 weeks is nice

[devout flax]

i got my 3070 from a newegg combo before xmas and the other part of the combo wasnt available so i just got the gpu and i got it in 3 days

[raw vector]

call ur local best buy and see what they can do for u emerethmeme

or yknow

you could go to microcente

they literally have like tons of stock

[lone pond]

also can try your chance on newegg shufle . i finally got my 3070 from shuffle xd

[warped escarp]

Hi guys. Please help me if you can. I have a power supply from Thermaltake and gtx 1660s with 8 pin hole. I tried to find the cord from the PSU but didn't find it anywhere. My computer is a prebuilt case from Newegg.

[toxic sinew]

Which exact model is the PSU

Did you get an accessories box with the PC?

[warped escarp]

Thermaltake smart 600w

[toxic sinew]

That should have the PCIe cables attached

That is a non-modular PSU

[warped escarp]

I think i do but I'm not sure where i store them

[toxic sinew]

The cables will most likely be in a bundle in your case

Look for them

[warped escarp]

What is a non-modular psu btw? I'm a noob

[toxic sinew]

The cables are attached and can not come off.

semi-modular have the motherboard and CPU cables attached and the rest come off

fully-modular have every single cable come off

[warped escarp]

Got it

I wish i can send you a pic of my case cause the way the hide the cord make me confuse and have no idea where to look for it

[toxic sinew]

Keep looking for it, it will most likely be stashed away somewhere

[warped escarp]

And how do i know it's the right cord?

[toxic sinew]

I sent a picture of it above

[warped escarp]

Thank you for your help. I will try.

[main heron]

Did you find the correct cord?

[remote nymph]

@proven trout hmm.. 650 is fine.. i dont know if thats ur problem

is ur card an evga?

also, have you tried playing in debug mode?

[heavy warren]

my vive vr won't read the usb port on my computer?

any suggestions, thanks

[fiery stag]

do you mean you PC wont pick up your vive?

[graceful eagle]

How to get an rx 590 at msrp :(

[inland hound]

https://tenor.com/view/invader-zim-movie-enter-the-gif-14899370

They aren’t being manufactured anymore, and those that exist are either in normal use or being scalped

[graceful eagle]

Oh damnnn

[graceful eagle]

yeah they r being scalped

It was the best bang for the buck

[inland hound]

If someone you know is willing to sell it to you at normal price, I would go for that

What is MSRP again?

For the 590?

[graceful eagle]

lemme see

280$

well it would be selling for 200$ now ig

but because of scalping...

[inland hound]

$330 for the 3060 non-Ti, 12 gigs of GDDR5 and about as powerful as a 2070 super

As long as you can get it

[graceful eagle]

Yeah

scalping and mining is really a big problem

[inland hound]

Mostly scalping

[graceful eagle]

yehh

As long as anyone don't buy from them

[inland hound]

Just about everyone above level 30 (myself included) in this server mines, but they don’t buy cards specifically for mining

[graceful eagle]

Hmm

[inland hound]

Also nice PFP, Gold Experience Requiem

[graceful eagle]

is mining still profitable ?

[graceful eagle]

yes

[inland hound]

Yeah, totally

[graceful eagle]

I made it animated

but my nitro expired

so yeh

[inland hound]

Mining is 100% still profitable

[graceful eagle]

How much of a profit are ya making

oh

it still takes like ton of electricity,don't they?

[inland hound]

On my old 5700 XT, I was making $3.60 a day

[graceful eagle]

huh

[inland hound]

Including electricity costs and tax

[graceful eagle]

hmm

[inland hound]

Multiply that by the amount of cards you have...

Well, I’m sure Mando could tell you all about it

[graceful eagle]

Ok

[inland hound]

He has 12 5700 XTs, all mining 24/7

He makes $1200 a month iirc

[graceful eagle]

woah

😳

Too much

aint it

I'm just a broke kid lol

[inland hound]

He is 14 or something like that iirc

[graceful eagle]

wait

rly

wtf

Ahhhhh

[inland hound]

He has more than paid for all of his cards already

[graceful eagle]

I'm 15 lol

[lone pond]

🤔

[graceful eagle]

[lone pond]

its time to think about mining lol

[graceful eagle]

Me too

But I am so broke

And gpu's are almost inflated in price

I regret everything

[lone pond]

i got my 3070 on newegg shuffle

[graceful eagle]

:/

here I am

struggling

[inland hound]

I bought my 5700 XT for $450, sold it for $700 a year later (a few days ago)

[graceful eagle]

AHHHHHHHHHHHH

im losing my mind

How old r u

@inland hound

How rich r u guys

[inland hound]

I don’t exist

I can’t have an age
