#

I am like 90% sure it is

brisk swan
#

And it shows up 1080 ?

coarse spindle
#

Listing said 2080ti and so does bios but thats obviously poppycock

brisk swan
#

Yep

coarse spindle
#

So trying to let it identify as a 450 so it can at least play fortnight without overestimating its lowly powers

#

It COULD be a 650 but I doubt it

#

So thats the story. You have way to much faith in me @livid idol 😆

buoyant basin
#

Which is perfectly reasonable, I changed my old 760 2GB for a 1660S in January 2020 (I assembled my PC in January 2015, so it was also 5 years old).

livid idol
#

You'd have to ID it by board layout, those fakes even have fake coolers usually

coarse spindle
#

Yeah, its pretty easy to spot a fake by its cooler.

#

Rule of thumb, if it has the 2006 Nvidia logo on it and they say its a 3090 maybe dont buy it

lone pond
#

woah

#

i barely existed back hten

heady turtle

#

Saturday Shuffle with 3060s and a 3090. All prices jacked

livid idol
#

And you have to bundle with overpriced motherboards

hoary sleet
#

I just want want to upgrade my 11 yo gpu 😦

heady turtle
#

Big oof

lone pond
#

@hoary sleet I know what ya mean, I finally did it last April from a 7770Ghz 1GB to a 5500XT 8GB

hoary sleet
#

Yup. Im in a bad spot right now. I refuse to buy anything over the price of the card msrp + tariff markup out of principle, but literally cannot play much on either my MacBook or PC. Any my PS4 is starting to crap out on me.

lone pond
#

went from those 2 card to the Pulse 5500XT 8GB

hoary sleet
#

Biggest mistake I made was waiting for a 30-series.

lone pond
#

my stimulus check came that end of april and everything was going "out of stock" to "in stock" with the click of a mouse, now its almost always "out of stock" or scalped

#

I knew waiting would not be smart with a pandemic looming

hoary sleet
#

Yup almost everything is scalped. I am thinking about subscribing to a game service just so I can play something

lone pond
#

have u cleaned ya ps4 at all?

#

there are videos on how to on youtube, if u have yet to

hoary sleet
#

I did. The problem is the dreaded HDMI controller issue

#

Not a trivial fix for someone

#

I have soldering exp but this is above anything I am capable of

lone pond
#

ah, so that is why it wont go to PS4 on my tv at times or just a random issue

#

ya i have soldering exp as well, even modded a few ps2's back in the day an that was tricky

hoary sleet
#

Yeah if you have an early model that is a common problem

lone pond
#

ah i had a luanch one and it was doing some odd things at times, then i sold it and got a new one a yr later

hoary sleet
#

The part is cheap. Replacing it is a nightmare. Contacts the size of a hair

lone pond
#

TBH il wait for the PS5 till it comes in black not needing to be changed around

hoary sleet
#

Yeah doing the same here. Was going to do that and sell the PS4 at huge discount or give it to a kid/family who can't afford a system.

lone pond
#

oh il keep the ps4 since it is always nice to have a back up gaming system that is still common place

hoary sleet
#

Look at us talking consoles in the GPU channel lol

lone pond
#

well it uses a GPU

#

well more to the point of a APU in sorts

#

1st amd apus sucked arse

hoary sleet
#

If a PS has a GPU does that make it a graphics card?

#

fixed

lone pond
#

well technically it is a APU not GPU since the GPU part is part of the CPU from what i recall on the PS4, might be the same for the PS5

#

ive seen alot of the stuff on the ps5, but havent recently

foggy moth
#

Shuffle is until 11?

#

I thought at 10

tender mulch
#

shuffle starts early today, 9 AM PST

#

until 12 PM PST

woeful perch
#

I love how if you want a graphics card on the Newegg shuffle you have to buy a 200 motherboard

#

that nobody wants

silent ibex
#

it is still a better deal than paying scalper prices... i build systems for people, so I will eventually use the board in a system.

acoustic ermine
#

God damn it, so sick of this bundling BS. I'm sitting on a brand new build that's castrated by the GPU, I don't need a damn mobo

heady turtle
#

Oof, i guess that's why ppl are recommending getting gpu first because of wait

tender mulch
heady turtle
#

Unless you go amd 😢 where's the APUs amd cri

tender rapids
#

a shuffle on a Saturday?

tender mulch
#

YES

#

DO IT

tender rapids
#

and only good gpu comes with a mobo

#

😩

drowsy kiln
tender mulch
#

Yeah but the CPU performance compared to Intel is bad

i got a cheap $27 gt710 to use until i got the gpu for the system I just built...

Ok nvm yea

I aint gonna get one but would be nice for users that dont need a gpu for anything more than showing display

#

Is $480 dollars a decent price for a RTX 2060 Founder Edition?

heady turtle
#

No

hollow dawn
#

No?

heady turtle
#

That's the same price as a mythical msrp of 3070

#

-20$

hollow dawn
#

Is it?

#

Where?

heady turtle
#

Or the office of mythical msrp of rx 6700xt

drowsy kiln
#

Yea for $480 you can get a 1070ti which other than active ray tracing from testing it seems slightly better.

heady turtle
#

The msrp is only the founders edition and possibly gigabyte eagle and evga xc3

hollow dawn
#

It’s Nvidia

I’ve been waiting 4 months

They dont ship

I was ready to pay $800 but at this point $480 is fair for me

drowsy kiln

$800 for a 2060... where

heady turtle

Oof but you can get 3060 ti for that price

#

Even a 3060 is better value tbh

You haven't been able to buy gpus on Amazon since November

drowsy kiln
#

Yea I mean... I had a 580 8gb but got a system for $600 with a 1070ti.

#

Little upgrade and I'll just resell the system

heady turtle
#

Yup, was building pc for gf and the 1650s we got was faulty had to return and the everything started dipping, luckily we found a rx 580 8gb for around €200

drowsy kiln
#

Yea. Just yesterday picked up a combo

Ryzen 5 2400g, 16gb 3600mhz Corsair, and an RX 5500-XT for $150 some nice resell there.

heady turtle
#

Why would they put 3600mhz on a 2400g 😢

drowsy kiln
#

No clue. I just bought it

heady turtle
#

Fair

drowsy kiln
#

No motherboard. But card alone sells for $400 ish

#

Disgusting but whatever

heady turtle
#

🤮

drowsy kiln
#

Exactly. This market sucks for new people trying to get into PCs

wispy drift
#

yep I recently built a pc with a r5 3600 but couldn't find any gpu even ones from 1-3 generations ago that weren't a ripoff so I just bought a gt 710 I found on Newegg for 40 bucks so my pc could actually work

vital pivot
#

When you finally get a new GPu it will feel like a new pc.

steel bough
#

I hope GPUS get back in stock soon. Not being able to finish my first build is murder waiting on the one part I don’t have.

heady turtle
#

Not for a while, 1 year at least I'd say

buoyant basin
#

And 1660S seemed to be the most reasonable choice for me considering my budget and the overall pricing in my country, but also considering the i5 4690K was the best I was likely to get on ebay for (again) a reasonable price. (Not to forget about the new monitor I had to buy.)

buoyant basin
heady turtle
buoyant basin
#

It was no option.

heady turtle
#

Ahh

buoyant basin
#

Why would I spent so much in a new CPU and GPU if I did not plan on buying a monitor to replace the broken one ? 😂

buoyant basin
heady turtle
buoyant basin
#

The former one was better

#

This one I have got sucks.

#

The best black I can get is some kind of 80% grey.

heady turtle
#

For the first few years of my old pc i used an old dell monitor i had lying around that only had vga and hdmi and only like 2 years later upgraded to a 144hz aoc one

buoyant basin
#

I have a 1280*1024 (I guess ?) lying around. And I had it even when I was about to upgrade my rig and when the old screen was dead, but it hurts looking at.

#

Reading simple text would give you a stratospheric headache in like 3 seconds, clock in hand.

heady turtle
#

Oof

high hollow
#

so last night i got a drop of water on my 2080 ti ( custom loop) and it dripped onto the nvlink finger but there was a cover on it- I did not realize at the time but a little bit of water got on the pcb- now the card has no display output- i tried cleaning the card by getting the residue off with an exacto knife and im using ipa now which i will test in a few hours- what else can i do to fix it/ is it fixable?

heady turtle
high hollow

no way to tell until your take out of sytstem and try

did you power it on after it got dripped on?

chilly spoke
#

oh okay thanks

high hollow
high hollow
#

ive narrowed it down to the gpu being functional but no display output

heady turtle
#

How do you reckon that

high hollow
#

basically when i try a different card (titan xp and an rx 580) I get the same sequence of post codes and a display out as when i do with the 2080 ti but theres no display out

#

also the oled displays the cpu temp which means armoury crate has to be open which only opens once its booted into windows

#

and once it does theres display on any gpu but the 2080 ti

#

and the blue light on the 2080 ti flashes which means its functioning as intended (zotac)

#

Welp, I give up. I've tried for a while to get a new gpu but I am throwing in the towel. I am only saying it on here cause maybe someone will feel the same way as I do now. With Scalpers and Miners, it feels impossible. I even made a bot myself to counter the other boting but I feel like it's pointless and it's best to wait till things are actually in stock again (who knows when that will be?). The newegg shuffle feels like a waste of time to me since it's all over priced anyways. GG

heady turtle
#

Understandable but tbh I'm glad you didn't get any using bots (unless it was only stock checking) its not right and it's not like it takes much time to enter the shuffle

lone pond
#

I used it on the nvidias website and I didn't mind it, but I honestly just want to go to a store and purchase it like I use to and I just think it's all really stupid. I'll have to just wait either for stocks to comeback or next generation

silk badger
#

heck people are just scalping the shuffle when they get picked

#

right after the emails when out someone on the instockalert reddit posted the screen shot of the purchase and said highest bidder wins

#

sucked because it was what i wanted and the scalper got it...like everything else

woeful summit
#

Yep saw a guy on fb selling the gpu/mobo combo he just got on shuffle. Sad

drowsy kiln
#

See that's why I do the suffles tbh, but I'd sell them for $50 more than I get it for. Don't need to make that much money but people who can actually afford the cards should get them for closer to MSRP

Only way to buy a GPU these days without hassel is in a pre-built system

lone pond
#

^ Im shocked to see a 3090 going for 2.3k on newegg

#

Glad I got one last year

#

damn thats wild

idle slate
#

i see the strix 3090s typically 3400-4000 on amazon and ebay :/

#

i feel like 2.3k is actually really close to msrp on it?

hybrid kettle
#

Water cooled is like 2200 as well

lone pond
#

thats scalper range man

cold rover
#

@onyx orbit Thats what a lot of people are doing these days

#

pulling GPU out of prebuilt

vital oriole
#

scalper range?

#

normal 3090 is already 1.5k

#

2.2k sounds ok for lc ones

halcyon plover
#

Even watercooled 3090 shouldnt be over 2000

idle slate
#

pretty sure msrp on most cards besides fe is 2100-2300 looking at listings on bb and newegg

wicked hound
#

kingpin was originally like 2.1k, now it's standard 3090 range except for fe

heady turtle
halcyon plover
hoary sleet
#

Do you think any cards are really going into PCs at close to MSRP these days? Looking at OfferUp now and the number of GPU postings takes up 50% of my feed anymore

heady turtle
hoary sleet
#

I get that nothing will be MSRP but I am feeling that we have hit a point of insanity where even if a normal person gets a GPU at a decent price, they are much more likely to try to sell it for 2-3x right away.

#

It is all to tempting and easy to turn good luck into quick cash

heady turtle
#

I getcha but economics yano, demand is greater than supply so price goes stonks

#

If you're looking to upgrade your whole pc/ building a new one your best bet to get a gpu is actually prebuilts

hoary sleet
#

It does to a point, but you got to wonder, when does it become a situation where more people are hodling trying to sell 3080s for 2k when no one is buying them anymore

#

I thought about pre-builts, but I just can't bring myself to do it...

lone pond
#

i hate prebuilds

#

they having crappy psu ram and mobo usually

bitter viper
#

agreed, in malaysia the price is crazy because of the cpu or gpu

dreamy dragonBOT
#
Alexender#0236 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

bitter viper
#

but the other parts are bad

heady turtle
hoary sleet
#

Yup thats why I avoid. I would rather build a well balanced machine rather than having to buy the prebuilt and replace everything but the GPU

heady turtle
#

Some of them have decent off the shelf parts tbf

glacial kelp
#

Unless mining goes down, good luck finding decent priced GPUs. The production will never keep up if gamers that use them for playing will compete with people that use them to make money.

lone pond
#

anyone knows if there is such a thing as 1650 6gb for laptop?

flint vigil
#

Even the super has 4GB

drowsy kiln
#

Yea um 1650 desktop only has 4gb

#

So definitely not

flint vigil
#

mobile ones as well. OC and Super variants too

#

I would try the 1660 Ti? If you HAVE to have 6GB of RAM

drowsy kiln
#

It is but most of the time the questions that get asked are simple google questions.

#

Yeah, fair. Sometimes though best to even ask the simplest question. The internet sure can give you a mix of info 😛 At least if you get a mix here, it's live and people can jump in

heady turtle
heady turtle

Yep^

#

And the factories are already operating at 100% for ages

heady turtle
#

They're only scalping because of the high demand that's how they make their money

#

If the demand wasn't as high it wouldn't be worth their while

PC sales up 26% last quarter

heady turtle
tender mulch
#

It's a combination of a lot of things TBH

#

All of the above

heady turtle
#

The demand is insanely high of else GPUs wouldn't be selling out anymore

tender mulch
#

nVidia shipped 9 million GPU's last year

heady turtle
#

^

tender mulch
#

AMD 1.9 million

#

meanwhile, 260 million PC's shipped last year

heady turtle
glacial kelp
#

Well let's hope the price will go down sometimes in the near future. I really doubt tho that demand is the issue, I rather see it as producers riding the wave, making more money while producing less than required.

tender mulch
#

26% increase in demand isn't an issue?

glacial kelp
#

For 2, 3 fold prices? No

tender mulch
#

I mean, nVidia told their suppliers to increase prices according to demand as well

#

Lemme see if I can find it

#

Problem is, the increase in GPU prices is above and beyond the Tariff imposed

If you're in Norway, check if nvidia has a norway site and see where they sell the founders edition, then stalk there, I'd personally recommend looking up stock checking bots that check tech stores in norway

In the psu

To cause it to restart

I also have my ram in slots a 2 b 2

My mb said to put it in a1 b1

Howevet

#

It was running fine until like a week ago.

#

I can try tk switch the ram?

#

That might have caused something.

#

Even though it's been like this for 4 months.

It has to be the ram or psu.

Or something in the software.

#

Lol

heady turtle
#

bags

zenith lagoon
#

10 bags last my family like a week.

heady turtle
#

where do you live

zenith lagoon
#

Sometimes we run out

#

Canada lol

#

Toronto

spice prawn
#

the above amounts are for me alone.

zenith lagoon
heady turtle
zenith lagoon
#

Lolol

heady turtle
zenith lagoon
#

So naed how can I fix my problem ?

spice prawn
#

start pulling parts until it doesnt happen anymore

zenith lagoon
#

....

spice prawn
#

that might sound like a joke

zenith lagoon
#

Pull parts

spice prawn
#

but it isnt

zenith lagoon
#

Ok .

#

What if its the psu?

spice prawn
#

"something" in your current system is the cause of it

zenith lagoon
#

I mean I have warranty on everything

#

Its just if I rma

spice prawn
#

its just a question of figuring out which part it is

spice prawn
#

do you have access to another machine?

zenith lagoon
#

No

#

Just one

#

Do you think it could be the restart button??

#

Omg

#

If a small amount of liquid

#

Fell into the front panel

spice prawn
#

no

zenith lagoon
#

Restart

#

Buttln

#

No way that it would trip the machine into restarting.

heady turtle
spice prawn
#

its most likely a power related issue

zenith lagoon
#

Yea.

#

Thats what I thought as well.

zenith lagoon
#

Psu most likely?

#

Right.

spice prawn
#

the problem/challenge is figuring out which part is actually unhappy

zenith lagoon
#

I mean corsair 10 year warranty coming in clutch if its a psu issue.

heady turtle
#

could be psu or motherboard not distrubuting power to the components properly

zenith lagoon
#

Motherboard?

#

Rip..

#

Naed could ig also be ram?

heady turtle
#

idk but its a possibility

spice prawn
#

i would suggest the following:

Unplug the PSU completely from everything.

zenith lagoon
#

Tripping up

spice prawn
#

and then double check that everything is properly seated

zenith lagoon
#

But how would it come out??

#

If its been working for 4 months.

spice prawn
#

then attach the PSU again. and see if that works

zenith lagoon
#

Ok

#

Should I try and re seat ram first?

spice prawn
#

you are looking for logic in a field without logic

#

you can (<- about the ram)

zenith lagoon
#

My ram is in b2 a2 from the very start..

#

However, the mb recommends a1 b1

#

So maybe...

#

Woth a driver update

#

It is causing the system to trip?

spice prawn
#

nothing that is logically sound, is a bad suggestion for fixing your system

#

because it could be just about anything

zenith lagoon
#

Rip

heady turtle
spice prawn
#

technically it might fix, but bios updates are generally not the solution for something like what you are describing

#

and with that, i am out for the night. Best of luck.

zenith lagoon
#

Ok

#

Well

#

Il try it tmr

spare relic
#

I think there's a GDDR5X version

#

Not G6

#

Got a picture of i

#

?

proper viper
#

I been trying for months to buy a GPU, well thank you newegg!

halcyon plover
#

3 gb modelCringe

#

Yeah ig

heady turtle
#

Not really the 3gb 1060 uses a weaker core, basically a 1050 ti

woven sky
#

Y’all think a ten gig rx 580 is worth it for 300$

vital leaf
#

there is no 10GB rx580

woven sky
#

Wait wrong card. Think they met 8 gig

karmic crag
#

still not worth

heady turtle
#

240$ absolutely max

zenith lagoon
# spice prawn correct

What I meant was, an update had caused the ram to not be working right in the opposite slots that the motherboard had wanted.

#

So they are supposed to be placed in a1 b1

#

Both sticks are place in a2 b2

#

It was working fine, but maybe an update to something had caused the ram to do something to the system.

zenith lagoon
heady turtle
#

No placing them in the "wrong slots" will still work just not the fastest speeds you'll get

zenith lagoon
#

But that depends on the motherboard.

#

Some boards don't even boot if you put them in the opposite slots.

#

It boots.

#

Ik

#

No

#

No thermal issues.

#

no

#

I don't

#

It can also just be the reset button being faulty?

#

Because when it restarts, the mb lights and exhaust fans lights are still on.

#

The entire timne

#

Yea I will do that.

lone pond
#

So

zenith lagoon
#

I can just unplug it form the mb?

#

ik lol

#

Yea

#

It's not the GPU

heady turtle
zenith lagoon
#

Yea.

#

How about the CPU?

lone pond
zenith lagoon
#

Also, I have tons of power outages now for some reason, would that damage the power supply overtime?

#

Yes.

heady turtle
#

Actually in Ireland it's in front just i think some places in mainland europe behind but I'm also on phone and effort of going back after already putting the price but yeab lol

heady turtle
#

Indeed

#

Well actually Ireland loves the eu lol

heady turtle
#

Uwu indeed

zenith lagoon
#

But, it could also be one faulty ram stick?

heady turtle
#

Could be

zenith lagoon
#

Only problem is I can't right now.

#

I'm doing something else./

#

So not able to open up my pc rn

#

rip

heady turtle
#

Ahh well try later then, i thought you already tried just 1 stick but mb not

zenith lagoon
#

If it was the cpu

#

It wouldn't boot at all.

heady turtle
#

Not impossible for the cpu to be the problem tbh could be anything

zenith lagoon
#

hm ok

sacred tendon
#

Has anyone ever had a problem with MSI cards bending from gravity and weight?

karmic crag
#

bending??

sacred tendon
#

Yea! I have a MSI RX 580 and the board is bending all around the edges! Everywhere except the PCI-E port

karmic crag
#

jesus

sacred tendon
#

Yea!

heady turtle
#

Nope my gf has an rx 580 and it's fine and i had an r9 380 similar design and it's never had problems

karmic crag
#

i'd fix that asap

heady turtle
#

And my r9 was in there for 5.5 years

karmic crag
#

maybe put something under it for now to prevent sag

sacred tendon
#

I was thinking of making a brace to hold it up but was afraid of it shorting or something like that.

#

Do anyone make a case where the motherboard would be on the opposite side? That way it'd be flipped over?

#

I put a pic in the build-pics in case your curious lol

livid idol
#

They make them specifically for this purpose

sacred tendon
#

Oh bet! Thank you! I need like 4 of them haha

old flint
#

reasonable price

#

What a rip off

calm crow
#

That’s rough

heady turtle
#

Not even a 3060 ti, just regular 3060 cri

calm crow
#

Just pain

heady turtle
#

The charger looks reficolous

calm crow
#

So why do it be 10 grand

heady turtle
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

calm crow
#

Hmmmmmmm. I’m sure the seller is on something then

heady turtle
#

Probs

vital pivot
#

It has a desktop cpu, 128Gb ram and 24tb of nvme storage. That might be why

fossil talon
#

Oof that charging brick

#

7 3090s and resell for profit

vital pivot
#

Yeah

fossil talon
#

3090s are lowkey easier to get than 3080s smh

vital pivot
#

My brother just ordered a prebuilt with a 3090

fossil talon
#

Yep

vital pivot
#

It took 2 weeks. If we went with the 3080 it would take 4-6 weeks

fossil talon
#

Im still waiting for 3080ti release hence why I sold my 3080s

vital pivot
#

Yeah.

#

Dumb

#

I don’t know. Usually they start updating the products.

#

It seems to have Saturday’s poor souls bundle of crap shuffle

fossil talon
#

I have a 3070FE as my temporary rn

vital pivot
#

I have a 2080ti ftw3 ultra

wispy drift
#

looking to spend no more than 200 for a gpu for 1080p gaming that'll will hold me for a year or so til the market can go back to normal, which card should I be looking for

vital pivot
#

I’m about to make it a evga 2080+ 360 hybrid

fossil talon
#

Ah smart. I already covered my friends with 3060tis and 3070s

fossil talon
#

Not sure what to do with my personal 3070 besides mining with it and framing it

fossil talon
heady turtle
fossil talon
#

Oh

#

I thought you mean reselling my Vision/Suprim 3080s back in January

wispy drift
#

lowest I've seen rx 580s go for is like 300

#

my friend sold his rx 580 for 120 about a year back and he regrets it so much lol

vital pivot
#

I sold a 1660ti Saturday for $510

queen prairie
#

how much my 2080ti can be sold at?

#

got 2 of them

#

attached with EKWB Phoenix MLC water cooling block

short timber
#

Anyone know if a 3060 is worth it

queen prairie
#

nah

#

1080Ti is better

#

if you only focus for FPS game then go for 1080ti

short timber
#

Mainly play warzone

queen prairie
#

anything below 4k 1080Ti can manage well, the price tag also not bad comparing to 3060

queen prairie
#

1080ti is like 700 bucks

calm crow
#

Uhhh last time I looked at them they were 1000

queen prairie
#

but 3060 is more expensive and not available

#

buy from Ebay

calm crow
#

I am talking about from eBay

queen prairie
#

the miner release alot of 1080ti

#

i looked it up for my friend last week

#

700

calm crow
#

Sheeeeeeesh you right

#

they went down very epic

queen prairie
#

miner tried to get new 3000 series and sold alot of 1080ti

wispy drift
#

saw someone selling a 1080ti strix for 300 and as soon as I was about to hit him up it got sold

calm crow
#

Nice snag for them

queen prairie
#

I found some on ebay for 800 now

#

but dont worry

#

end of this year

#

the price will drop

#

if I am able to go back my country I will bring over 10 of those GPU and sell

#

alot people would do that

#

it is a nice time to sell GPU but not buying it

#

I got 10 PC back home with 1080ti

#

=,=

#

for my ralatives to do excels and words for their daily work

calm crow
#

For word and excel? Sheeee

queen prairie
#

their kids want to play games

#

MMO game

#

so I built those for them

#

eventhough the iGPU can handle the graphic lol

pseudo yew
#

ya he dont need that 1060ti

zenith lagoon
#

@heady turtle

#

Both are in slots b1 a1

heady turtle
drowsy kiln
#

1060ti? There is no 1060ti iirc, the 1060 6gb already fills the price point that a 1060ti would possibly fill.

heady turtle
#

Yeah ^

#

Mb 1050 ti is what they meant ¯_(ツ)_/¯

livid idol
#

1660ti?

drowsy kiln
#

Maybe who knows

zenith lagoon
#

Also

#

To take out the gpu.

#

Do I need to flip the tab?

#

Forgot how I did it last time lol

livid idol
#

Yes you'll need to hold the locking tab out of the way

zenith lagoon
#

Or just pull it out

livid idol
#

The locking tab on the PCI slot right?

zenith lagoon
#

Yes

#

Got the gpu out.

#

Trying to figure out why my pc keeps restarting randomly btw @livid idol

livid idol
#

Did you check event viewer?

zenith lagoon
#

No

#

Windows?

#

Is it a downloadable application?

livid idol
#

Usually there's an error right before a forced shut down that's logged in there

#

Built into windows

#

Right click the start button and it's right there

zenith lagoon
#

I checkered reliability

#

Checked*

#

Just says unexpected shutdown

#

Should I put gpu back in and check that forst?

#

First*

#

Was just about to switch ram.

livid idol
#

No you can keep doing what you're doing, check it later

zenith lagoon
#

I have a feeling it could have also just been the reset sw

drowsy kiln
#

I'd try one stick of ram as well. One might be faulty

livid idol
#

Possibly the reset if it's loose/old

#

1060 3GB aka the 1050 ti ti

zenith lagoon
#

Or the button on the case

drowsy kiln
#

xD all good just clarifying. Mainly for the guy that said that you didnt need a 1060ti.

zenith lagoon
#

Is tripping out

#

9900k has built in graphics

#

I just wont put gpu back in

livid idol
#

Sure. That's a good thing to have for troubleshooting.

zenith lagoon
#

I can also try resetting cmos

livid idol
#

Not likely a problem but you can do that too

zenith lagoon
#

Ok

#

It can be the psu.

drowsy kiln
#

Try single stick of ram as well Externxl

zenith lagoon
#

Could it also be a corrupted drive?

drowsy kiln
#

Chance one is faulty

zenith lagoon
#

Just trying to figure out where to pit my aio fan

#

Once I take it out

#

Lol

drowsy kiln
zenith lagoon
#

It just restarts

#

Randomly

#

Not nervous it can be anything big

#

I have warranty on everything so.

#

Its only 4 months old..

drowsy kiln
#

Yea but you can boot back into windows. Meaning the drive cant be couruped, chance a file is but not the drive.

livid idol
#

Bad RAM would more likely cause BSOD errors, not forced reboots without an error

zenith lagoon
#

Yes.

#

True

drowsy kiln
zenith lagoon
#

Should I switch ram anyway?

#

Try it?

drowsy kiln
#

Its always good to try. Ram is a quick thing to do

zenith lagoon
#

It could just be as simple as the restart switch.

drowsy kiln
#

Unplug restart switch from mobo if you think that could be a cause

zenith lagoon
#

Took 1 stick out

#

Gonna boot now.

#

Why doesn't it show anything on my monitor?

#

Hdmi is plugged into mobo.

#

And 9900k has integrated

#

Graphics

#

@livid idol

#

It didn't shut down tho..

#

/restart

livid idol
#

Could be the BIOS is expecting a discrete GPU

zenith lagoon
#

Showing now..

livid idol
#

Probably just took a minute to swap drivers to the Intel chip

zenith lagoon
#

Oh ok

#

Alright.

#

Into windows.

#

No gpu.

#

1 ram stick

#

Both nzxt and ice have loaded up correctly.

#

Icue*

#

Ok I'm in event viewer

#

What should I look for?

livid idol
#

On the left pane, Windows Logs>System

#

On the right, Filter Current Log

#

Click Critical and OK

zenith lagoon
#

Kernal power..

#

??

#

What is that?

livid idol
#

That's all the times that it rebooted unexpectedly

zenith lagoon
#

Ok.

#

My home power.

#

Is super faulty

#

Could it have done something?

#

To my psu?

#

So now I can factor out the cpu.

#

Its either the motherboard, or psu.

#

However, it hasn't restarted yet.

#

I took oit the restart cable.

#

Maybe everytimes there is a trip in power from my breaker, it had caused the restart wire to restart my pc??

livid idol
#

Probably not that, the restart button doesn't work that way

drowsy kiln
#

Nah. Buttons on case have to be pushed for it to work.

zenith lagoon
#

But the wire.

livid idol
#

If you have bad power coming from the wall I'd advise you to get a UPS to clean up the power

zenith lagoon
#

Is connected to the mobo.

drowsy kiln
#

Only other way to make the pins on the motherboard work is to use a screwdriver and bridge the gap

zenith lagoon
#

But they are soo slow

drowsy kiln
#

UPS = Power Backup esentially. Not the shipping company.

zenith lagoon
#

Yea ik xD

#

I called an electrician

#

My house is new so.

#

Idk

#

Maybe they didn't wire something up right.

livid idol
#

Possible, bad grounds are pretty common in new houses, especially if the construction company decided to be cheap

zenith lagoon
#

Ahh

#

True

#

So if power isn't being gronded

#

For even half a second

#

Pc shuts off, and turn back on.

livid idol
#

Yep

zenith lagoon
#

It can't be gpu right?

drowsy kiln
#

Well it can but unlikely if its new

livid idol
#

Probably not, you'd get blue screen errors

zenith lagoon
#

Ye.

#

How about motherboard?

#

Its something to do with power...

#

For sure..

clear pier
#

How bout your outlet

livid idol
#

Possible, but not usually the problem

drowsy kiln
#

That too. Any system component would give a Blue Screen, power being cut is a lot more likely

zenith lagoon
#

Broo

#

I just went into my basement

#

And wtf is happening with my breaker

#

Arc fault lights and flashing left right and center.

abstract narwhal
#

I’d put a ups on my pc anyway it gives it nice clean power.

zenith lagoon
livid idol
#

Yeah you got some power issues that need to be fixed ASAP it sounds like

drowsy kiln
#

Well thats when we say call an electrician.

zenith lagoon
#

I called the guy last week

#

Still didn't come ffs

#

Maybe with my gpu plugged in.

#

It adds extra load...

clear pier
#

I would not start my pc up with that

zenith lagoon
#

Because the stupid electrician couldn't wire my house up right.

livid idol
#

If you've got a bad ground then something that uses more power will overload the ground and cause it to momentarily shut off

zenith lagoon
#

Il just keep my gpu out then.

zenith lagoon
#

Still

#

My iron turns off upstairs.

#

Its definitely the power in my house...

abstract narwhal
#

You’ve got a bad ground from the sounds of it

zenith lagoon
#

With my gpu it adds "too much" load for this stupid electricians wiring.

drowsy kiln
#

Likely. Make sure your using a good quality surge protector

zenith lagoon
#

Its an aorus 5700xt so

livid idol
#

Well as previously mentioned, a UPS will fix your problem with the PC for the time being

drowsy kiln
#

Mhm. UPS or good quality Surge Protector to protect the system.

clear pier
#

I would not use my pc a power surge could kill somethinh

#

Like psu etc

abstract narwhal
#

Yea I won’t turn my pc on without a good ups

zenith lagoon
#

Ohh

#

My mb aorus z390 pro wifi

#

Also has the buolt in surge protection.

clear pier
#

I have that same board

zenith lagoon
#

That might be why.

drowsy kiln
zenith lagoon
#

Any small arcs or surges in power.

#

Might cause the mb to trip..

#

Because of its surge protection.

clear pier
drowsy kiln
#

No. Just use a normal "power strip" with surge protection. Dont worry about whatecer is built into your mobo

zenith lagoon
#

So its definitely something to do with power right?

#

Btw pc still hasn't restarted.

livid idol
#

Almost certainly a power problem

zenith lagoon
#

No my components.

#

Not*

#

Its working fine rn.

#

Also

drowsy kiln
zenith lagoon
#

What I have noticed is that everything my pc shuts off.

livid idol
#

Probably not components unless a short caused the PSU to have issues

zenith lagoon
#

And restarts

#

Is that fans ramp up.

#

And then just shuts off.

#

So thats means power = heat.

#

And a surge in power is causing it to trip.

#

As my motherboard also has built in surge protection.

#

Thats probably the issue.

#

My ram slots are in a1 b1 rn

#

Is that fine?

#

I just realized that either works..

#

Or does it?

drowsy kiln
#

Mhm. As long as they are one space apart

zenith lagoon
#

Yea.

#

Should I out my gpu back in?

#

Put(

#

I mean 9900k is fine for low gaming ig.

#

But I don't want to risk something worse, not until that electrician fixes my power.

drowsy kiln
#

GPU is fine to put in just get a UPS

zenith lagoon
#

So for now.

#

I should keep it out.

#

I'm looking on Amazon rn

livid idol
#

If you want you can put it back and see if it causes shutoffs again, but I'd test power with prime95 first to see if it triggers problems

zenith lagoon
#

Test power with gpu in?

#

With prime95

#

Is this right?

#

Website.

#

@livid idol

livid idol
#

Yes that's right, it'll push every core in the CPU to 100% to max out the power usage

zenith lagoon
#

Ok

#

Why isn't it downloading?

livid idol
#

You clicked this one?

zenith lagoon
#

Yes.

#

64 bit

#

Not doing anything..

livid idol
#

Idk works for me

zenith lagoon
#

Ag

#

Ah

#

Maybe my wifi

livid idol
zenith lagoon
#

Ty

zenith lagoon
#

Should I run it bow?

#

Now*

livid idol
#

Yes

zenith lagoon
#

All good?

livid idol
#

Small FFT stress mode

zenith lagoon
#

Which one?

#

The first or second?

#

Ok small.

#

Should I click ok?

zenith lagoon
livid idol
#

Yes small FFT then OK

zenith lagoon
#

Ok

#

It shut down.

#

And restarted.

#

@livid idol

livid idol
#

Power problem 100% then

zenith lagoon
#

Ok

livid idol
#

Either with the power supply or your home power

zenith lagoon
#

Ok

#

Well

#

Everytime it gets to boot

#

It shuts off

#

What do I do?

livid idol
#

Don't use it until you have a UPS or the wiring is fixed

zenith lagoon
#

Ok

#

But it doesn't turn on..

livid idol
#

Every shutoff like that is a chance for damage

zenith lagoon
#

Oh

#

Would it be my psu?

livid idol
#

If, after the house power problem is fixed, you're still having PC power problems, then yes it's the PSU that got damaged

zenith lagoon
#

Ok.

#

But now it just restarts even before it reaches windows.

livid idol
#

Just leave it unplugged, you're only risking more damage

zenith lagoon
#

Ok..

#

So don't try and turn it back on?

#

How about the gpu?

livid idol
#

You can put that back but leave it off

zenith lagoon
#

Ok

#

Well either way.

#

The problem is getting fixed.

drifting belfry
#

Anyone has link to alert 30 series discord channels ?

zenith lagoon
#

Do you think that the power outages could have caused the osu to be damage

#

Damaged*

livid idol
#

Can't link other discord servers here

livid idol
zenith lagoon
#

Well if it did.

#

Still have 9 years and 6 months of warranty lol

#

Thanks corsair lol

livid idol
#

Yeah that would be a warranty claim, they'll cover that in a heartbeat

zenith lagoon
#

Yea

#

Thats good

#

So I unplugged pc from the walm

#

Wall*

#

And ls is off.
