I have an acer aspire e5-576-392H and it actually takes ddr3
It has 8th gen i3
It's best to just crack open the laptop and look at the ram stick to see if it'ss ddr3 or ddr4
May not be the case for this laptop though

im not sure whats wrong but a lot of my games take a long time to load in. tarkov, pubg, fortnite all take a good amount to load into a game. ive never been too fast to load in but definitely not this slow and i think it may be a RAM problem

@narrow siren those are all online multiplayer games aren't they?
narrow siren
yea
split copper
When loading an online match, there will always be a player who has the weakest computer and/or internet of the bunch, and as a result, the match will only start once their computer catches up.
That's one reason loading could be abysmal
That always happened when I played Robocraft...I have 5Mbps down, 0.5Mbps up internet, but even my internet was beastly in comparison with that of one person in the match
hollow thorn
Robocraft servers are prob pretty dead now
Freejam stopped support for it like a year ago

hey yall, looking to build a new facemelting PC. The current facemelter is about 4 years old. i7/6700, Asus ROG Hero VIII, 32 gigs. I'm doing music production now, and my son wants my PC for gaming. So I get an upgrade. Looking at the Ryzen 1950x with 64 gigs. Got ideas for best motherboard? I've had great luck with my ROG. So was looking at the Crosshair VIII.
Oh, and the G.Skill Trident Z EGB memory. DDR4-3600. Had good luck with that too. Only components i've had to replace were the water cooler (i110) and the power supply (died early, Coolermaster........replaced with EVGA, much better).
hollow thorn
Wait, so are you looking at a Threadripper 1950x ..? @desert kindle
Also, what kind of workloads do you get for music production? More focused on single core perf, or just the more threads you can throw at it, the better?
desert kindle
Yes. The Digital Audio Software i use (Bitwig, as well as others) use "plug ins". For each "track" of a song you could have several of them, all busy doing something to the digital signal. Some of the software synths will bring your PC to it's knees. While I don't probably need 16 cores, I always future proof if the money works out. 🙂 Considered just going to 128 gigs of RAM but......as Bill Gates once said, who could ever need more than 640k of memory .....
long geyser
mobo makes 1950x a meh deal
hollow thorn
so
desert kindle
yeah, I need to do some more research.....not ready to buy/build yet.
long geyser
cuz total price of 1950x+x399 is close to 3950x+basic x570

you have to be level 3 to post links i believe
long geyser
It's for this specific server, Basically you need to be level 3 on this server
desert kindle
ah....gotcha.
long geyser
level is just how many messages you sent
desert kindle
i'm a discord noob......
long geyser
So tl:dr, there is a message threshold to be able to send links
hollow thorn
crude path
@desert kindle most discord groups dont require a level to do such things. the admin of this server uses weggbot to mitigate and help keep spammers/trolls and such out because of how big this server is, so theres a leveling system that gives you exp once every minute for talking. when you hit level 3, you can post links and images. you can check your level by going to #ranks-and-levels and typing !rank
tacit hemlock
We should honestly save that message and quote it because it gets asked a lot

cool, i get it.....gotta keep out the trolls and riff raff. I'm neither. 😉
hollow thorn
@desert kindle Anyways so is it possible to demo it with task manager open?
I know it might sound like a weird request
but I don't know how music production hits the threads
like does it pin every thread to 100%, or does it, like gaming, only really use 8 threads or so
desert kindle
yeah.......i'd need to build a song. let me see if I have something that comes close.......the youtube link i wanted to share would give you an idea.

yeah, i have a Motu 4x4 USB audio interface. bypasses the audio card on ROG. best for low latency. using ASIO.

I quickly ran siege's benchmark for a demonstration, games don't fully hit all the cores at all, a fair bit of load on like 4 threads, and everything else is chillin at like no load
split copper
most games won't have tons of multithreading :p
long geyser
well, you want that latency and stability. Which in games can be looked at as 0.1% lows
which seems a general uplift, and I'd expect audio to be a bit more multi threaded then games
hollow thorn
I understand
but I wanted to know if it just needed more threads, so 2nd or 3rd gen TR would be better, or it hit a few threads hard, so Ryzen.
desert kindle
ok, created something special for you. Unfortunately, the sound was being captures by my webcam MIC. It sounded pretty cool. 😉 But you can see the effect on CPU. It's uploading. Slow upload link. Hang on. I still need to be able to share the youtube link though. I can send it to Mr1111 and he can share back here?
send you the link. video turned out grainy, should have recorded on my 1080 screen. sound was only through my webcam....I screwed up. It was a quickie. I'll redo it later as it's interesting......

serum is pretty cpu intensive
desert kindle
yes, these are the same thing as Serum......Massive X, Arturia PIgments, Vengeance, and the orangish one is the really cool Phase Plant. That one patch had like 8 different oscilators in it. and it drove the cpu from 36 or so to over 50%. 😉
like and subscribe and i'll try to do a better capture soon .....kinda pulled this one out my butt for ya.
well, think i'll stick with the plan for 16 cores (+16 threads) and 64 gigs of RAM. thanks all for the eyes on it....hope you enjoyed the video. see you back here later. I have to crash out......I work for Redis Labs and we have our big (now virtual) online conference tomorrow. I have to man the "ask the experts" chat room. 🙂 I could play with this stuff all night though......it's addictive. (geek.....)

Hi, I need to find the right RAM for a mini bare bone pc I just ordered. (MSI Cubi-N-8GL) When the specs says: System Memory: DDR4 2400MHz up to 8GB (1 Slot) Does that mean that it won't support 2666MHz RAMs? And will it not support a 16GB RAM unit?

8gb still a big boost for it
going from 4.

hey! I hope you all doing fine and are healthy 🙂 I have a question about the upcoming Nvidia 3000 Series. I read that they support PCIE 4.0. My motherboard only supports up to PCIE 3.0 16x. Will this be a problem performancewise? Do i need to upgrade my motherboard before buying a 3000 Series card?
urban ferry
It will not be a problem
All PCIE versions are backwards and forwards compatible
it will work
(techies correct me if im wrong)
but for example, you can put a 5700xt (pcie 4.0 card) in a pcie 3.0 slot and not have any issues
graphics cards dont really utilize the speeds of pcie 4.0 yet, pcie 4.0 is more beneficial towards SSDs
midnight pollen
yes pcie is backwards compatible, pcie 4.0 has more bandwidth but there will not likely be any bandwidth issues with the card. it would only possibly be more of an issue in the future when more powerful cards come out

@obsidian lark I've also been shopping for similar components, and did a bunch of research myself. There really is VERY LITTLE advantage to spending money on / waiting for a motherboard with PCIe 4.0. In most games/benchmarks, the FPS difference is MAYBE 1%... or less.

gritty meadow
that should work, but generally you dont use ECC ram in machines that dont actually need it
mainly because of cost but also because most ECC ram is not all that fast

looking for a good recommendation for a AMD atx mobo, looking for one that can at least run ddr4 3600 and be able to upgrade in future
stiff kraken
i hear good things about asus tuf x570
unfortunately unless you're willing to wait for b550, x570 is your only choice for "able to upgrade in future"
@rough lava
b450 boards are off the table unless you want to buy a 3600 now and upgrade to a 3900x or something later
rough lava
So the better option would be wait for newer gen to come out huh, im not in desperate need for a new pc rn but I was just starting to plan for a new one
@stiff kraken

you could

What is better a i3 9100f or a i5 2550k
@naive pendant I think you should wait for ryzen 4000,4 core gaming is outdated, at least you should buy a six core 12thread cpu, it will last longer than 6core 6 thread cpu. 3600x is not a bad option, I think you should wait for b550 motherboard and 4000series cpu
frigid whale
I'm back! With the same issue as before. Lol
Is it possible. That my case and the power button cables. Would work for my old motherboard but not my new one for some reason???
frigid whale
Yes. It's doing the same thing as the one I returned to Newegg.
Just the RGB lights nothing else.

I might have gone to the wrong thread sorry. Haha

Does the msi 450 gaming plus support 3600 DDR4
weak hamlet
check the website
acoustic imp
Ok
ionic hamlet
For the person having the issue with their motherboard, did you check the RAM and make sure it was seated properly?
Also, check the front panel connectors. It's really easy to hook them up wrong and cause the power button to not work. (But that's just a matter of unplugging them and connecting them the right way to fix.)
acoustic imp
Ok thank
frigid whale
Yes all seated properly
Question about video card needing to be installed for amd to boot
Is that true?
Because my next question is. Does it matter which pci slot it's in for that rule?
ionic hamlet
Well, you need a video card installed to get any output to a monitor unless you have an AMD CPU with integrated graphics.
weak hamlet
which amd processor do you have @frigid whale
if it's any X or non X variant you'll need discreet gpu.
if it has a G at the end, you do not.

Because my next question is. Does it matter which pci slot it's in for that rule?
@frigid whale
sharp blaze
ideally it would go it would go in the pcie slot closest to the cpu
that is the only slot that is x16
the second slot will run x8
third slot is x4 and can lose pcie lanes or be disabled if it shares resources with the m.2 or sata slots

i've looked in task manager and yeah i have software running like lightspeed with 4 screens and chrome but 99% ? seem sot be struggling. older processor too
yeah i cant do that
i mean i cant see much in there. it say s99% but barely anything is using CPU. plus theres a LOT of extras open that i dont recall ever using
lightspeed is hogging a lot of resources and chrome is a laggard in general
maybe theres something i can change in settings of the chip? i dont know. its an older fx 4350 but been going strong for 5 or so yeras now

Funny story the Ryzen 3 3300x kills my old processor

quick question about the corsair RGB pro RAM
so I just got mine today, but one of the sticks appears to be out of sync sometimes with the others, I swapped it into a different slot, and now it and another stick are out of sync sometimes. is there a correct order I'm supposed to install them in?
feel free to @ me with your thoughts
tacit hemlock
@pulsar crane for gaming a 3600x out performs a 2700x decently. For bigger workload stuff tho the 2700x edges it out a little

A 3600 would be a good fit for almost any gpu lol
What do you plan to upgrade tho? The cpu or gpu?
sudden coral
GPU hopefully
How many cores was 3600 again?

6 cores
It'll do well
It has basically the same single core performance as a 3700x

@deep vigil I have icue already, and yeah they're in dual channel, since there's 4 sticks
humble dome
hey guys, i currently have a ryzen 5 2600 and will be getting a 3000 series in the future. i currently have a b350 motherboard and am looking to upgrade. im not super interested in the super fast nvme speeds that the x570 can give, but it it worth spending around $200-ish for a x570 motherboard for future-proofing purposes than around $150-$160 for a b450?
crude path
well if you are hoping to eventually upgrade to the 4000 series, it wont be supported by b450 boards (According to amd) but will be supported by x570 boards. Plus you get the added benefits that come with x570 like pcie 4.0. its really up to you though. I ended up going with an x470 pro (before the announcement that 4000 series will only support b550 and x570)
humble dome
ohh ok
do you know of a good x570 motherboard around $200-$220? (that's around my pricerange)
i really dont know much about motherboards
ryzen 5 2600, 16gb corsair vengeance 3600mhz, rtx 2060
crude path
I've heard good things about the asus x570 steel legend, which is around 200
crude path
oh woops
hold on
alright for asus, if i remember correctly, rog strix is good, prime is good (and the upgraded version of what i have), but the tuff boards are bad? I think?
I think the steel legend is good but im not entirely sure. I havent looked to much into 570 boards tbh.
tacit hemlock
And stock is crazy rn
crude path
yeah i just noticed that lol. most pc parts are
humble dome
so i see the rog strix rn is selling at $300? is that inflated? or is that the normal price?
crude path
when everything was deserted at the beginning of the epidemic, the micro center near me had a line wrapped around the building
i think thats inflated but im not sure on the actual prices of those mobos.
the rog strix I pulled up is selling at 700 
tacit hemlock
Yikes
humble dome
yeah im looking at the same thing rn haha
crude path
if your system works well right now, i wouldn't bother upgrading until this whole thing blows over.

Yo does anyone know how to tell the difference from 1600 to 1600 af
crude path
one is a 1600 and one is a 1600 as frick
no i found this online: The 1600 AF is a Zen+ based CPU, as opposed to the 1600 (non AF) which is Zen based.
Basically that means the 1600 AF rivals the second gen Ryzen 5 2600 and is altogether a better choice than the 1600 (non AF).
tulip talon
ok cool thanks
viral marlin
Got a question, I have an i76700 and 2133 speed ram 2x8, and a 2060 super and the card at times on games like gta v or ark it struggles with 1080p let alone 1440, would my cpu and ram be bottleneck my system?
I also when no clue realy where to ask this question but is is mostly pertaining to cpu and ram that's why this is here
midnight pollen
the ram is a lower speed for today, most going at 3200MHz and above. it also depends on the game, like if it cpu or gpu intensive. also idk about gta but ark i hear isn't very well optimized
viral marlin
So it would Most likely be a ram issue?
midnight pollen
in what way is it struggling, what fps are you getting?
viral marlin
Just extremely low fps for a 2060 super
It will go from it ding fine 70fps wish is normalish, then drop to 40fps for no reason then when I move its fine
hollow thorn
GTA isn't too optimized, but you're still getting low frames
naive pendant
@viral marlin It might be the ram cause it is very slow for today @midnight pollen was right about 3200MHz being today's average for most people
storm moon
my opinion on this is that's its more up to the motherboards chipset on what it can support you might be able to put 3200 in there but the chipset is going to treat it as if its only 2133 though you might be able to overclock it to 3200? The motherboard might be able to support a faster CPU in its class so what you need to do is download/run CPU-Z if don't know what your motherboard is then look it up and see what it supports in terms of CPU and Ram.
gritty meadow
@storm moon cpu-z just reads what is (also) visible on the mainboard manufacturers site

Hello all,
I am looking to buy an AsRock B450 Pro4 motherboard to use with the Ryzen 3600, both sold by newegg. Will the motherboard be updated and Ryzen 3600 compatible out of the box? I am not able to update the motherboard myself.
weak hamlet
does newegg specs tell you anything
should tell you if its ryzen 1st 2nd and 3rd gen ready
huh weird
it doesn't
dusty yacht
Yeah, unfortunately, it doesn't specify
dusty yacht
I'd hate to have to spend an extra $100 for an X570, I could drop my GPU of choice from an 5700XT to a GTX1660ti to compensate
Hmm
ok
dusty yacht
Right, i suppose it's safe to assume it isn't out of the box compatible with 3rd gen
thank you
tacit hemlock
that's interesting
weak hamlet
and I know mobo's are hard to find right now
worn plover
my mobo that i got for 150 is now 500$ usd

@dusty yacht does it have to be asrock?
dusty yacht
Nope, any will do
dusty yacht
yes, im in canada
ideally around 100-150 but if it's a bit over, that's alright
And really hoping to keep the mobo under 200
weak hamlet
Supports AMD 3rd Gen Ryzen/2nd Gen Ryzen/1st Gen Ryzen / 2nd Gen Ryzen with Radeon Vega Graphics/1st Gen Ryzen with Radeon Vega Graphics / Athlon with Radeon Vega Graphics Processors
Supports 1st, 2nd and 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen / Ryzen with Radeon Vega Graphics and 2nd Gen AMD Ryzen with Radeon Graphics / Athlon with Radeon Vega Graphics Desktop Processors for Socket AM4

thank you! looks very promising, one of the reviews also confirms that theirs was gen 3 compatible out of the box
Think I will go with this!

aanyone help me fix my bois to see the new memory i jsut bought form you guygs?
*guys
i have a ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. ROG MAXIMUS X HERO (WI-FI AC) (LGA1151) and a Intel Core i7 @ 3.70GHz 29 °C
Coffee Lake 14nm Technology
upgraded my crucible 2666 to so corsair 3600.....
crude path
you shouldn't need to do a bios update but if you want to get the 3600 mhz, just enable the DOCP or XMP profile in the bios
compact sun
ya i did that already from the other memory i had, had to set it back to auto for it to boot
it went into safe mode
compact sun
its working but it only sees the morory as unknown @1071mhz
crude path
what are you using to see it saying unknown
compact sun
asus mem tweaker and speccy
if i switch it back to the xmp profile, it should auto see it at that point before i reboot, correct?
crude path
ok just go into bios and enable the DOCP or XMP and reboot.
it should set it to 3600 mhz
compact sun
ok ill try that and be back 🙂
i dont know what to di in the mem tweatit......i dont weanna blow anything up....
crude path
dont change anything. just enable XMP. if it doesnt boot, just clear cmos
compact sun
ok brb
seems to only see th eold profile xmp ddr4-3597 18-22-22-42-1 now it only sees it as 32.0GB Dual-Channel Unknown @ 1066MHz (18-22-22-42)
aaqh....there is a firmware update for the memory....:)
so how do i clear the cmos?
crude path
unplug the power cord, look for the little battery, take it out for 10 minutes, plug it back in, plug power back in, turn on.
it may take a minute to boot but make sure you unplug it first cause if it has power it will not reset the cmos.
crude path
yeah thats how you clear the CMOS. some mobos have a button for it or pins you can short out too
compact sun
ok thanks 🙂 have a great night
hollow thorn
Usually you can get away with just having it out for a minutes or so, pressing the power button to help discharge the power left in the board
compact sun
keeps booting in safe mode
or that profile which see's it in 1066ish....
any more ideas?

I'm torn between the 3400G or the 3300X for a mini ITX build, what do you guys think? Provided I have a graphics card does the 3400G provide any benefits over the 3300X to justify the $50 difference?
deep vigil
If yoi have a beefy collet becuade you can oc the 3300x a ton
Someone oc a 3300x to 5ghz
But that was eith liquid nitrogen
rare phoenix
It's a mini ITX, I ordered a low profile noctua cooler. The noctua NH-L9a.
deep vigil
Im not too sure but the 3300x is on newer architecture
And supports pcie4
If that means anything to you
rare phoenix
Okay, I've been leaning towards it anyhow. I'll wait for it to come back up in stock somewhere, thanks.
deep vigil
It also looks like it has better gaming performance than the 3600 in the bench im watching
@rare phoenix https://youtu.be/vD8Yk7JrBL8
gritty meadow
@rare phoenix re: does the 3400G provide any benefit over the 3300x: Long story short? No.
in your specific context, it does not
it is the slower of the two
(and yes, i know, model numbers etc, just nod and say yes)
gritty meadow
nope, other way around :)
deep vigil
Well the 3300x is beter if you got the dgpu
hollow thorn
3300x > 3400g afaik in terms of cpu performance?
gritty meadow
yes

Thanks guys.

If I'm not mistaken, isn't the 3400G a Zen+ part as opposed to Zen 2?

hey everyone, getting ready to swap out my mobo, cpu and RAM. i watched a few videos that showed how to switch your microsoft account to online so you don't lose you windows installation but i have windows 7 and it doesn't work on that because all accounts are local. read something about deleting drivers but i don't know which ones to delete and saw this about unistalling drivers in the bios when you boot from the new mobo. any advice?
warped scroll
No
I’ve swapped the hard drive from an old PC into a new one and windows became inactivated.
Sometimes it doesn’t even let you log in
It didn’t like some certain systems
But if you get an external drive and do a full drive image to transfer, I believe it will be okay
kind flower
Don’t listen to what I said I’m a noob

@warped scroll so i need to clone to an external even though i have a hdd in there already?

Why don’t you just upgraded to windows 10 @fathom grail

Yeah, sadly Windows 7 is dead. No more official support
midnight pollen
I mean some companies can pay for additional support i believe, but it ain't worth it
fathom grail
i'll look into it
charred venture
wait i swapped out my hdd from my old pc and threw in a sshd, and once I installed windows, it was activated
it was from a prebuilt so I'm thinking mobo recognition?
warped scroll
Motherboard keeps windows key
You can upgrade everything except the mobo and windows will still be activated
ionic hamlet
Honestly, since he's got 7 I'd recommend going ahead and upgrading to Windows 10. Skip 8, 8 sucks.
warped scroll
Windows 8 bad
fathom grail
8 definitely sucks
any advice on how to upgrade? tool didn't work but i'm looking at downloading as if i'm putting 10 on another device and mounting it to an iso
crude path
you're trying to upgrade your cpu mobo and ram but not lose windows? am i correct?
crude path
okay, you should be able to upgrade it to 10 for free from windows 7 if you want to do that
are you afraid of losing everything?
fathom grail
i'm trying to but i'm getting a language error
crude path
weird
fathom grail
tried mounting to a usb and iso and getting "there was a problem running this tool"
and yes definitely afraid of losing everything lol
crude path
do you have one hard drive or 2?
as for the language error, try remaking the usb install tool. ive gotten that issue and had to remake it 3 times before it worked for me 🤷♂️
fathom grail
1 internal 1 external
crude path
what all are you wanting to keep?
fathom grail
and for the remake, you're saying just start from the beginning with the tool and eventually the error goes away?
and everything, files programs etc
crude path
so generally its recommended to do a fresh install when upgrading your components so that there aren't any conflicting drivers. You can do a fresh install while keeping your files, but all apps and settings will be deleted when you upgrade or do a fresh install.
did you create a USB tool or are you trying to upgrade your pc from the app itself?
fathom grail
i've tried it all 3 ways and nothing works
from what it sounds like though you're saying it's best to write it to usb, upgrade my components and then upgrade 7 to 10?
gritty meadow
i think you might be misunderstanding how the process works @fathom grail
fathom grail
doing my best
gritty meadow
please keep the following in mind: There are no stupid questions, only silly answers
when you made the USB tool. Can you explain how you did that?
crude path
I would upgrade to windows 10 before you upgrade your components so that you can attach the key to an online account. Failling that, you can just buy a new key for 5$ so if it doesn't go as planned Don't fret to much.
fathom grail
i downloaded the windows 10 update tool, am attempting to write the upgrade to a 16GB usb. i keep getting the message that there was a problem running this tool
@gritty meadow
fathom grail
and ok @crude path i will keep that in mind, gonna try the tool a couple more times
fathom grail
yes @gritty meadow i'll try to write it on my laptop
fathom grail
yeah i'm seeing that other people have had the same issue as me though
gritty meadow
BUT windows 7 is old by now, so heck knows if there is something in your particular version/install of it that is blocking things
gritty meadow
"looks like windows has the ISO i'm just trying to find it" <- elaborate
fathom grail
it says there's a problem with language but i only have english
i'm reading a "windows 10 manual upgrade" article and it mentions that i can download the ISO directly but the link to the ISO doesn't work anymore lol
gritty meadow
2sec
there you go, that is the tool download
the tool can either directly download the iso or directly make the usb for you
fathom grail
oh i think maybe it's because i have content on the usb
didn't realize it had to be blank
so this is crazy, this website you sent looks different on my laptop than on my pc
i guess because i already have windows 10 on here
seems like the iso is working on my laptop
will update
gritty meadow
before you do anything
backup the files you absolutely NEED to keep
because there are no guarantees
gritty meadow
only if you have a drive that is big enough
fathom grail
hmm true
can i check how much i need
or would it just be the full amount of C that i have taken up right now
gritty meadow
its the amount of space you have used
fathom grail
ok i definitely don't have a drive big enough for that then
might have to go pick one up
gritty meadow
Why is it that you want to keep everything?
because you are hopefully aware that the moment you upgrade, the things you keep are not guaranteed to work
(programs etc)
fathom grail
i don't really mind about the programs, i can reinstall pretty much any programs i need but i'm mostly worried about files
i wasn't but you said i should make a backup lol
gritty meadow
you mean your documents etc?
gritty meadow
then that is all you need to make a backup off
fathom grail
is there a wizard for that or do i just do it manually
gritty meadow
you just manually copy it to the external drive
fathom grail
ok gotca
gotcha
best buy has an EVO and that's what i wanted anyways so i might just go grab that and clone
fathom grail
what do you mean
gritty meadow
go and figure out what files you need to backup, then do that.
fathom grail
i don't want to go through and pick what i'm trying to keep as my hdd has 132G free out of a TB
that's a lot to go through right now
gritty meadow
that is your lack of foresight, i cannot do anything about that.
but, 95% of that data is not actually things you need to keep
long geyser
@gritty meadow was it you or Forks that showed that program for what folders take up space on a drive?
gritty meadow
Forks
fathom grail
i get that i need to go through it at some point, i've been meaning to. but that's a week long process and i just want to upgrade. seems like making a clone in case i lose anything and being able to go through it later is a better process to me
gritty meadow
@fathom grail the point is: if you dont have a backup, there is nothing i can recommend that is safe to do. (in your current context)
fathom grail
right i'm just saying the amount of content i have currently would be hard to go through when i can clone a backup for now
gritty meadow
and if you buy a drive for doing that, you are "moving the problem along AKA moving the hot potato"
but as mentioned, it is your choice :)
fathom grail
well i want the drive anyways i'm just trying to make sure i don't lose anything
hollow thorn
It's best you just go through the files, it doesn't take that long.
fathom grail
even if i go through the files i likely don't have a device that would hold everything i want to keep anyways
my biggest drive is a 320G external and it's halfway full
hollow thorn
Documents don't take much space, programs do
fathom grail
i'm not trying to be difficult btw
gritty meadow
we dont see it as you being difficult
this is just a debate/conversation about your situation :)
fathom grail
ok cool lol
gritty meadow
at the end of the day, you are the one that has the data that might get lost
not any of us
fathom grail
i feel that and i want to take the precautions for sure
gritty meadow
IF you want to do a clone, you are going to either need a second USB or use the USB that you have the windows install on
fathom grail
so back to the upgrade though, once i go through my files and make a backup, i have the ISO now from my laptop that i'm going to put on a flash drive and transfer to my desktop
what i don't want to copy the OS just the files
*what if
gritty meadow
notice the "IF"
re: windows install: the media creation tool makes a USB capable of booting up and installing windows ONTO a drive.
which means, after you have run the media creation tool on your laptop, you can then take the usb and plug it into the desktop and power on the desktop and select the usb as the bootdrive
does all of that make sense?
fathom grail
what if I transfer the ISO to my HDD? can i boot from that?
gritty meadow
not how it works
the ISO is a "snapshot" that can be used to make something a copy of something else
fathom grail
can you make a list of steps i need to do now that i have the ISO on my laptop
gritty meadow
did you not just run the media creation tool ?
fathom grail
i did, it created an ISO that i'm copying to a flash drive
gritty meadow
you could have just pointed the media creation tool at the drive
that is the main purpose of the tool
fathom grail
i think i tried that but the drive wasn't blank so it didn't write to it
maybe that's just because i tried to do it on the PC
i'll try to write to usb on the laptop
gritty meadow

Will a current Ryzen 5 3600 X work on a b550 motherboard that's coming out?
I'm building and I just heard about the 550 chipset, currently I'm on an old piece of poop
This is what I've come up with, but I just found out that the b550 comes out next month
Will the 3600X that I have in that setup work on a b550 motherboard that's coming out next month?
Also what kind of RAM will I need?

Everything should be compatible
Also
Does anyone know how long b550 will last because isn't AM4 only lasting until the end of this year so technically we'd have to upgrade again on the 5000series?
