2 separate plug ins

#

It worked before on my old motherboard and before I replaced my new one without issue

#

I gotta go to work

wraith sorrel
#

Corsair 4000d airflow or NZXT H510

tacit hemlock
#

4000d

burnt salmon
#

is 3600mhz c18 better than 3000mhz c15?

#

im only asking bc i want to know how much more of a difference there would be upgrading my ram, and if i could/should just settle on something in between

naive pendant
#

what would be a good cpu to pair with a 2060 and my budget is 700-750 case not included in the budget bc i already have one

heady root
#

probably a ryzen 5 3600

#

it's $200 but i'd wait a lil till it goes back down to like 170 ish

#

solid cpu

naive pendant
#

ok i’m not buying until end of next month or later anyway

heady root
#

yeah i'd check back here like a week before you buy and we'll see how prices are doing then

naive pendant
#

ok cool

polar mist
#

my motherboard has a 4 pin connector but my cpu is a ryzen 5 2600, will this be enough for gaming until I can get a new motherboard?

#

psu is 500w if that helps

fallen lynx
#

yes

#

i mean

wild cypress
#

can you split a cpu header or can you only split system fans

fallen lynx
#

the question is phrased kind of weird @polar mist

#

you can put a 3-pin or 4-pin splitter on any of the fan headers @wild cypress

wild cypress
#

ok

polar mist
#

no my cpu power connector

#

i know it'll be able to run but will I need 8 pins for gaming for more than like 2 months?

fallen lynx
#

yeah, you connect whatever your MB has

polar mist
#

before I get a better mobo

fallen lynx
#

it doesn't matter if you are gaming or doing something else

#

if your MB only has a 4-pin then thats all you need

polar mist
#

ok thanks

long geyser
#

can run a 3950x on PBO on a EPS four pin

#

so you're fine

polar mist
#

aight

bitter garden
#

Hey does anyone know if the gigabyte z390 aurorus Pro WiFi comes with bluetooth?

worn night
#

Alot of the wifi boards I've noticed come with bluetooth as well you can find it usually in the specs section

faint ferry
#

What does turbo boosting mean on an intel chip?

split copper
#

Turbo is an automatic clock speed adjustment

#

So the chip goes faster than the normal speed

#

AMD processors do it too

naive pendant
#

Alright so, I have a plug in from the PSU to the motherboard, it's 1 plug with 2 squares and 2 curved, but the other is 4 curved plug ins.

#

And it wont send photos

gentle osprey
#

Psu to your mobo should have 24pins

naive pendant
#

Not that one

#

On the top of the motherboard

gentle osprey
#

8pin connector then

naive pendant
#

Also nice profile picture

#

Yeah that

#

So the plug ins on the motherboard all different shapes but

#

1 fits the way it was designed but the second is all curved

gentle osprey
#

Itll be a 4+4 connector, not the 6+2

naive pendant
#

It still fits but not sure

#

Itnis

#

I know the 6 2 is GPU

#

You don't mind if I dm you the photos I'm talking about

gentle osprey
#

Sure

naive pendant
#

My explanation of things is bad

#

For some odd reason 3 photos wont send, I think my fingers are in the photo or something that looks wrong.

midnight pollen
#

the connectors are keyed, go in one way. 4 +4 pin commonly located at top left of mobo is cpu power

naive pendant
#

weird it sends but

#

Hard to see I apologize but 1 plug in has different shapes while the other is all curved, is that for me to understand that this goes in this way?

#

(Solved)

naive pendant
#

I have 2 sticks of 16GB RAM

#

Which one should I put it in?

eager wind
#

Are these two compatible

naive pendant
#

Yes

#

DDR4

eager wind
midnight pollen
#

post link from newegg or take off the beginning of link

eager wind
#

sorry. it wont let me send link. its the tforce delta rgb and b550 pro4

naive pendant
#

Ohhh you were asking the question

#

Search that up, go to support

midnight pollen
#

i would imagine it's fine, but you can always look on the motherboard manufacturers site for ram support

naive pendant
#

yep

#

Alright can you help me?

eager wind
#

i tried but i couldnt find anything

naive pendant
#

Is it ASRock?

eager wind
#

yeah

naive pendant
#

Does the motherboard look like this

#

Or actually lemme link it instead

eager wind
#

yeah its that one

naive pendant
#

Look around specification

#

Should say "Memory"

#

Or download the manual and take a look

#

If you're unsure ask in this chat and wait for someone to reply

eager wind
#

Im so lost. i found that it supports some tforce ram but i have no clue

naive pendant
#

Look in this

#

Make sure it's the same motherboard you have

eager wind
#

theres nothing there

naive pendant
#

Ah

#

Also "pcpartpicker" helps too

eager wind
#

thats the night hawk rgb. i have the delta rgb

#

ill check on pcpartpicker

#

i checked there and they didnt have my model

#

of ram

naive pendant
#

Huh

#

Oh you already own the RAM

lament jewel
eager wind
#

@naive pendant yeah i do

#

i own both. just dont know if they support eachother. ive been told that they do and dont from different people so idk @naive pendant

naive pendant
#

Yeah that's tricky

#

I would compare the 2

eager wind
#

well i like the ram for the price. i want it to be white and rgb if i get different ram. but im not too attached to the mobo. the problem would be finding another white/ silver board for the same price on a 500 series board

#

@naive pendant

naive pendant
#

What's your motherboard now?

#

And uhh, who said yes for it would be

eager wind
#

well this is a new build. and people from other servers and forums ive asked @naive pendant

naive pendant
#

ah

#

Plus the partpicker doesn't really have everything, has a whole lot yes

#

My motherboard doesnt show on the partpicker so

#

Hmm

#

Personally I can't help you, I would just have to wait till one of the Techis or Mr1111 helps as I trust him

#

I wish I could but my knowledge of PC stuff is bad

eager wind
#

im on the linus tech tips forums and i asked and everyone is saying yes

naive pendant
#

Then I would go with that, and if it doesnt work you can return it as long as it allows you too

charred venture
#

they do support each other

naive pendant
#

meep, got a question

#

Are you able to help me?

charred venture
#

yeah

naive pendant
#

My motherboard isn't working with the Ethernet cord correctly

#

When I plug it in it works for a solid few seconds, then stops

#

After that it remains that way

#

I've looked around my device manager

charred venture
#

hmm, sounds like a port or cable problem

#

the cable might be loose or smth

#

try testing a diff cable, if not, buy a LAN card

eager wind
#

Ok. thanks to everyone that helped me

naive pendant
#

Well I know it's not the ethernet cord

#

Or router

#

And the port works

#

Even shows orange

charred venture
#

did u try uninstalling drivers

#

for your wired adaptor

#

and restart so it reinstalls

naive pendant
#

Delete the driver software?

#

Or dont check it

#

And just uninstall

#

Well I dont know if I delete the driver software and then restart but

#

Certainly didn't work without deleting it

naive pendant
#

Well I'm screwed

dusky pagoda
#

Should i get 16gb of ddr4-4000 cl15 7.5 first word response

dusky pagoda
#

Or just normal 32gb at that point

main pulsar
#

neither?

#

you havent specified what you need your ram to accomplish

#

if you need 32gb, ya get 32gb

#

if you need the lowest latency and the highest bandwidth possible, you get it

#

i am 99.99% sure that you dont need either

dusky pagoda
#

my friend got one

#

in a bundle rn lmao

#

Check

main pulsar
#

?

dusky pagoda
#

It was this

main pulsar
#

what does this image have to do with your ram question

dusky pagoda
#

idk

main pulsar
#

then why are you posting it

#

and this link

#

idc

#

anyway

#

that combo is a waste of money

#

unless all you want is a guaranteed 3090 order

#

but for 2k? just pay scalper prices lmao

dusky pagoda
#

Hes gonna sell mobo

main pulsar
#

still, why the 3090

#

he running 4k 144hz?

#

or trying to max out graphics on 4k 60?

dusky pagoda
#

yea probaly

main pulsar
#

probably isnt a good enough reason

dusky pagoda
#

He said he wants to play 8k if he can

main pulsar
#

anyway, moving on from that useless discussion

#

ram

dusky pagoda
#

ram

main pulsar
#

whats the deal with that

dusky pagoda
#

Its not like i need it

#

I just want it

#

im running a 10850k

main pulsar
#

what do you have now?

#

for ram

dusky pagoda
#

Nothing

#

didnt buy yet

main pulsar
#

so you are putting together a parts list.

dusky pagoda
#

yep

main pulsar
#

when are you planning to buy

dusky pagoda
#

December-ish

main pulsar
#

then stfu and wait till then

dusky pagoda
#

planning early cuz im hyp3d

main pulsar
#

god, how long have you been asking this crap

#

stop

#

stop planning

#

no

#

no planning

#

planning bad

dusky pagoda
#

hey

#

planning good >:(

main pulsar
#

wait the day you are planning to buy

#

literally

#

THE DAY

#

YOU ARE BUYING

#

ask then

dusky pagoda
#

the ram is in ther

main pulsar
#

if you arent buying today, dont ask

dusky pagoda
#

i think its very cashmoney

#

wbu

main pulsar
#

i think it doesnt matter

heady root
#

sorry that list makes me cringe mega hard

dusky pagoda
#

Let a poor man ask if ram is good

main pulsar
#

any list you give me will be a bad list

dusky pagoda
#

@heady root how so

main pulsar
#

because you arent buying till december

#

therefore, a list today = bad

heady root
#

that monitor is just no

#

ew

dusky pagoda
#

That monitor is yes

#

benq dyac is pog

main pulsar
#

@heady root it doesnt matter, hes probably been questioned about that monitor like 10 times in the past

#

that list is meaningless

dusky pagoda
main pulsar
#

stop harassing people about your component selection

#

stop talking about it

#

until

#

december

#

ez

dusky pagoda
#

Not mr111

#

Smerth

#

man

#

Let me ask if my list is good

heady root
#

you’ve asked a lot

#

gotten the same input

main pulsar
#

you have been asking too much, you are wasting our time

#

please

#

shut up

dusky pagoda
#

Im just asking if the ram is good

main pulsar
#

well STOP ASKING

misty obsidian
#

when are new ryzens coming out ?

naive pendant
#

Hey guys do you think a Ryzen 5 3600 is a good buy with the RTX 3070

#

I mistyped, the 3070 I meant

rugged sierra
#

it should be fine i mean it depends on the resolution that you game at

gritty meadow
#

@misty obsidian nov 5th

naive pendant
#

I prefer 1080p but I might have to go 1440p since they are better for the card to reach its full potential

rugged sierra
#

it should be fine but why would you waste the gpus potential

naive pendant
#

I dont think a 1080p monitor will waste anything

#

But I hear a lot of people say its better to have a 1440p for the RTX 3000 series

rugged sierra
#

the gpu if it does get 2080ti performance than it can game at 4k

gritty meadow
#

since we dont know the actual performance numbers of the 3070

#

how about waiting for those reviews instead :)

naive pendant
#

true yes Ill wait

rugged sierra
#

😉

naive pendant
#

I have till December to decide on a GPU

#

I might go with intel cause my teacher mentioned that the intel have lesser cores but faster ones for the price

#

So it will be a quality over quantity scenario if I pick Intel

rugged sierra
#

i mean the good intel competitors are 100 dollars more than the amd ones

naive pendant
#

true yes but I wont buy a 10th or 11th gen

#

Ill get a 9th gen or similar

gritty meadow
#

@naive pendant tell your teacher to go read up on things :)

naive pendant
#

i mean thats how it used to be

#

I remember Intel CPUs were much faster on single threaded tasks

#

But that was years ago

rugged sierra
#

i dont think that that is how it is now you wont be lossing much more that at most 5 frames with an amd cpu

gritty meadow
#

come nov 5th, IF the reviews are what AMD is currently claiming, there is no reason to go intel, unless you are on a very particular budget

rugged sierra
#

i dont see a reason to go intel rn even

naive pendant
#

budget is 1500 not inc monitor and peripherals

#

but id prefer not to stretch it

gritty meadow
#

thats a "lot" of budget

rugged sierra
#

oh you in theory could fit a 3080 in that budget

naive pendant
#

ive tried trust me

gritty meadow
#

not "in theory" you can

rugged sierra
#

if you dont care about looks

naive pendant
#

always goes over where I live

rugged sierra
#

oh

naive pendant
#

if it was over by like 5 euros then sure

#

but im talking about 100s

rugged sierra
#

oh

naive pendant
#

and if I get a better CPU

#

god help me

gritty meadow
#

where are you located?

naive pendant
#

Southern Europe

#

Shoot my battery is 5 percent

#

I gtg

#

Thank u all for the advice

#

I greatly appreciate it all

lusty wraith
#

Question. Buying a ryzen 5 3600, and a 2060 gpu. Do you think prices will drop for either with the release of zen 3 and the 30XX series or should I just buy them now?

gritty meadow
#

do you need the machine right this second @lusty wraith or can you wait 1-2 weeks?

lusty wraith
#

I don't need it right away, but I'm curious what the potential savings might be with the releases coming out.

#

The mobo, cpu, and gpu are the last 3 parts i need to buy

gritty meadow
#

depends on the actual performance of the parts that are coming

#

until we know the details for that, the market (at large) wont react

lusty wraith
#

Fair.

blissful silo
#

Which one is better

tacit hemlock
#

Same speeds but I prefer g.skill

blissful silo
#

Ok, I dont know much abt pcs and their parts but I knew they had the same speeds, but just incase something else was different, I wanted to see what other people thoughts were

tacit hemlock
#

Corsair uses weird memory dies and their heatsinks are unnecessarily large lol

blissful silo
#

Alright ty

tacit hemlock
rugged sierra
#

oh but if you like the corsair software then i would use those

hollow thorn
#

@rugged sierra iCUE is seen as one of the worst in terms of rgb bloatware so...
I dunno...

rugged sierra
#

i like it i think that it is better than apps like aura or mystic lights or the other ones

hollow thorn
#

???

#

in what way

#

in terms of eating your system resources, yes.

rugged sierra
#

it is really just a personal prefernce

hollow thorn
#

not when it comes to eating system resources

#

looks yea

#

system resource usage

#

now that's more quantifiable

#

but well

#

none of the RGB softwares are lightweight

blissful silo
#

😶

rugged sierra
#

yes i agree but i also dont care

hollow thorn
#

if you don't care then whatever, just pointing it out.

worn night
#

Corsair RGB Ram overpriced

royal geode
#

can anyone help point me the right direction? new build, i7-10700k, GIGABYTE Z490 GAMING X AX motherboard, CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 3200 ram (CMK32GX4M2B3200C16, listed on the mobo supported list); initially the ram ran at 2133mhz as expected, once I enabled the XMP profile it is showing up as 2800mhz instead of 3200mhz. Is there something else I should try or is the ram defective?

naive pendant
#

Alright so, my Ethernet port isn't working properly

#

My router is fine, the cord is fine

#

The plug in shows Orange and when I plug it in the first few seconds it works and then stops

#

I need help on how to fix this issue

#

Device manager shows nothing

#

Reinstalled drivers

#

Occasionally I unplug USBs and suddenly it magically works and then plug them back in but not this time

#

It's a B550 Taichi ASRock, I had it replaced so this thing is brand new

#

Any suggestions?

hollow thorn
#

@royal geode check xmp settings again, sometimes they come with 2 different profiles, and one of them is correct

sleek breach
#

Does anyone know a good motherboard for the ryzen 5 3600 or ryzen 7 3700 that ATX ugradable with WIFI and 4 ram slots. (Bonus points if you know good ram for those CPUs)

hollow thorn
#

To start off, what's overall budget?

sleek breach
#

Like 2000 CAD

hollow thorn
#

Fun. When are you planning to build?

sleek breach
#

So like 1500 USD but I would wrather spend less

#

I mean sooner is better but I am waiting for the 6000 series

#

of radeon

hollow thorn
#

It's best to specify regions whenever possible :)

sleek breach
#

Canada

hollow thorn
#

Yea you should be able to also get a Zen 3 chip if you're waiting for Radeon

#

Lemme see if I have the 2000cad list laying around still

sleek breach
#

Ok, thanks

hollow thorn
sleek breach
#

Wow

#

Thanks

hollow thorn
#

Ask any questions you may have about part selection @sleek breach

sleek breach
#

Well I would wrather use a h 510I so its compatible with that right?

hollow thorn
#

oop the motherboard price might've went up

#

uhh no why?

#

Generally we very much dislike H510 as a case.

sleek breach
#

Why

#

It looks really nice

hollow thorn
#

Airflow

sleek breach
#

oh

hollow thorn
#

Looks is like 2% of what I take into account for case selection :P

sleek breach
#

I hvae a friend who has one and he says its great I did not know it had such isues

hollow thorn
#

Here's the thing

#

with cases, in general, H510 is fine, it works, there's a bit of airflow

#

But also with cases, there's just so many better options at near the same price.

sleek breach
#

Ok, thanks I will keep that in mind

hollow thorn
#

Anyways, any other questions?

sleek breach
#

Wait Rn I have the phantek p400 is that a good case?

hollow thorn
#

P400a or P400

sleek breach
#

just 400

hollow thorn
#

P400a is pretty great

#

Can you check if you can get a mesh front panel for the P400?

sleek breach
#

Wait no I does not have thumb screws

#

But it looks the same

hollow thorn
#

Without a mesh front panel, it's meh, it's workable, you can save some money by keeping it.

sleek breach
#

Well I built that build with my Dad in 6th grade you see im 15 rn so I dont own that PC

#

So I gotta get everything from scracth

#

Anyways thanks for your help have a good one

hollow thorn
#

You too :)

naive pendant
#

Mr1111, able to help me?

hollow thorn
#

sure

naive pendant
#

So this is the issue I got

#

I'm using wireless at the moment

#

But my router sucks so it disconnects more often

hollow thorn
#

I no good at networking :(
All I can tell you is check drivers, mobo drivers for ethernet and usb mostly, and then do the windows un-screwing pinned in #windows-ios

naive pendant
#

Ah

royal geode
#

@royal geode check xmp settings again, sometimes they come with 2 different profiles, and one of them is correct
@hollow thorn there's only 'disabled' and 'profile 1'. I tried setting all of the options to the spec that ram lists for the 3200mhz and it still just is at 2800mhz

naive pendant
#

Yeah I did that, even deleted the drivers itself and reinstalled them

#

But alright thanks

hollow thorn
#

:)

#

@royal geode What motherboard?

royal geode
#

GIGABYTE Z490 GAMING X AX

#

the xmp profile lists the correct timings and ddr4-3200, but once rebooted to the bios the indicated frequency is just 2800mhz

ebon sinew
#

so question if I was going to go for x570 excluding the price which model would be best instean of a B550

hollow thorn
#

hm

#

@ebon sinew you do know ignoring price the answer would be something like a 300$ X570 unify right

ebon sinew
#

yeah i know

hollow thorn
#

then that's the suggestion >:D

#

@royal geode did you set any manual frequencies before?

ebon sinew
hollow thorn
#

it's a good board

ebon sinew
#

this one is very poplaur on amazon

royal geode
#

I've tried it both ways, only choosing the xmp profile or by setting the values manually. Not sure if it matters but CPU-Z shows 1400mhz (makes sense for the 2800 value) but task manager is reporting 3200

#

but I only did 1 way at a time

hollow thorn
#

I mean, x570-plus wifi is one of the most frequent mobos I tell people to grab >:D

📎 unknown.png
ebon sinew
#

lol

hollow thorn
#

@royal geode alright, let's do full manual this time

#

including manual timings

royal geode
#

sure, I'll try that

worn night
#

@hollow thorn that's why I got that board pretty good price for what it is SmileyEgg

ebon sinew
#

so if i didnt want to have a b550 and I choose x570 the x570 plus wif with be the best one

hollow thorn
#

tCL 16, tRCD 18, tRP 18, tRAS 38

ebon sinew
#

@worn night how is the board

hollow thorn
#

sometimes they split tRCD into tRCDWR and tRCDRD, both should be 18 for you

#

Assuming your ram is rated for the normal 3200c16 timings

#

@royal geode and 3200mhz manual, with xmp profiles off :)

worn night
#

I like the features for the price plenty of slots. Got mine for like 160 @ebon sinew

ebon sinew
#

really did you wait untill there was a sale

worn night
#

Kinda

hollow thorn
#

X570-plus non-wifi is 160$ on average

ebon sinew
#

okay

hollow thorn
#

x570-plus wifi is like 180$

worn night
#

I paid more like 137 cuz I had a discount card

#

My other option was the Asus x570p

#

That's a simpler board that was about 127

hollow thorn
#

mm ~150$ on average for x570-p

worn night
#

Walmart has offered it 127.99 several times

#

Newegg usually like 149.99

#

Amazon similar price to Walmart

hollow thorn
#

eh, it used to be 150$ at least

worn night
#

They fluctuate

hollow thorn
#

yea

#

haven't checked in a while

worn night
#

Just like the 3700x always fluctuating lol

royal geode
#

@hollow thorn I entered the ones you listed, reboot into bios and it shows 2800mhz again, I tried with tRAS 36 since that is what my ram technically specs and still showing as 2800mhz

hollow thorn
#

the hell

royal geode
#

anything else you think I should try or just return as defective? they arrived yesterday in the box

hollow thorn
#

I'd spend another like 10min digging in the bios if there's some weird setting, if nothing, I'd contact support for an RMA or return.

royal geode
#

I'm assuming if the bios is defaulting dram voltage to 1.2 and the ram I got is rated for 1.35, that should also be one of the changes I make when manually setting them up, sound right?

#

I think I've tried it both ways now, no change

#

I appreciate the help, I didn't think I was going crazy

hollow thorn
#

You should follow what is rated on the ram yea

naive pendant
#

anyone know if a ryzen 9 3900x is compatible with a b450M steel legend mobo?

lyric echo
#

Anyone know where I could get a Ryzen 5 3600 used and works perfect ?

icy wave
#

Core i5-9600K or ryzen 5 3600?

fallen lynx
#

@naive pendant yes

#

may need bios update

red wadi
#

Got a question, just starting by saying Im getting an amd cpu, but for ram, is it more important to go 3200mhz with 16cl or 3600mhz with 18cl?

tulip talon
#

I got a b450 motherboard will it work with ryzen 5000 series or I need to upgrade to b550

lusty wraith
#

Iirc you'll have to update to b550 or x570

#

@tulip talon

gritty meadow
#

@tulip talon depends on your specific mainboard. Check the manufacturers site :)

#

@lusty wraith see what i said above.

main pulsar
#

thats an old slide, it doesnt even have a520 on it

#

there is a fair chance you have dirt under the currently installed sticks

Hey I got a question. Could I mod a motherboard to make it white. Even if it’s just the heat sinks

wind field
#

Hey @Naed u want to see more of the old tech I got?

gritty meadow
#

@eager wind technically you can.

#

@eager wind just remember this: DONT mod something you cannot be without

#

@wind field if you do a imgur album or something, yes. But only if you have an actual use for the album yourself

#

because i have no practical use for it

#

i have seen all the old hardware i need to see for the rest of my life :)

wind field
#

Lol

gritty meadow
#

to give you some idea

#

i have probably made about a hundred systems with that particular mainboard @wind field

eager wind
#

@gritty meadow well what I really mean is like could I have someone else do it

gritty meadow
#

it wont be cheap, and what i said still applies @eager wind

wind field
#

I have a old dell and the side panel is on a really big Henge and I wanted to put the motherboard in a different case but I cant

eager wind

@gritty meadow like how expensive

no idea @eager wind depends on the local prices of the people doing mods like that

@naive pendant i am not here to guess. So either ask or point me to the specific message where you asked. :)

I replaced the drivers already

When i plug it in it works for a solid 2 seconds

I checked for any "!" signs

gritty meadow
#

that is your board?

naive pendant
#

Yes

gritty meadow
#

based on what you are saying. its the cable if anything

naive pendant
#

Weird,

#

It worked with the old one, and even works when it opens up

#

Old motherboard*

gritty meadow
#

half of that sentence makes sense

#

the other does not

#

"and even works when it opens up" <- what does that mean?

naive pendant
#

oops

#

It does work for a solid 2 seconds after plug in

#

Router is fine aswell

#

After the 2 seconds it stops

gritty meadow
#

what do you use to indicate that it "works fine"?

naive pendant
#

Wireless connection

#

The port shows green on the router

gritty meadow
#

please try and read that one more time

naive pendant
#

Then i don't know

gritty meadow
#

and then answer me this:

#

What does the "WIRELESS connection" tell you about the WIRED connection?

I figured that you might think it's a router or modem issue

#

So i apologize that i mixed things up

How do I get someone from newegg who can help me with a new motherboard for ASUS M32BC

#

Maybe I should not have asked for someone from newegg, someone who can help me with a replacement motherboard for an ASUS M32BC

gritty meadow
#

@lone matrix you might get lucky and find one, but you are aware that is fairly old machine right?

lone matrix
#

Yes on the old machine

#

I wanted to up the RAM to 16gb and go to ssd but I don't think the machine can handle 16gb of ram.

gritty meadow
#

2sec

#

IF the mainboard has 2 or more ram slots @lone matrix

#

there is a fair chance it will work

#

because it is ddr3 after all

#

and 32gig total (with 4 slots was not unheard of)

#

also, the problem/challenge with your setup is that IF you want to upgrade anything, you start a cascade of upgrades

lone matrix
#

The motherboard has 4 slots and was originally windows 8.1

gritty meadow
#

because everything is so old

#

upgrade anything BUT ram/storage

lone matrix
#

I was only thinking to upgrade the ram and hard drive to ssd

#

I guess if I try as is, the only thing I am out is the RAM if it doesn't work as the SSD can go to another computer but the ram may not necessarily match a different motherboard

#

the ram I have is PC3 12800

gritty meadow
#

aye, ddr3

lone matrix
#

Does the processor limit the RAM, has an AMD FX-8310

gritty meadow
#

yes/no

#

generation/type of ram follows the socket that the cpu uses

#

(generally)

#

Thanks for helping me @gritty meadow

(The only exception I know of is some intel chips supporting both ddr3 and ddr4 depending on the motherboard)

Are you supposed to change out the thermal paste every 6 months or something or the second you put it in it's good till you replace CPU/CPUFan?

@naive pendant its good for many many years

naive pendant
#

Alrighty thank you

gritty meadow
#

as long as you dont keep on removing the heatsink that is :)

naive pendant
#

Wasn't sure if it's a maintenance thing like keeping dust out

gritty meadow
#

nah, as long as its kept "out of air" its fine :)

#

and its kept like that by being between the heatsink and the cpu :)

naive pendant
#

alright, I also solved the issue i had with the Ethernet cord, I plugged it into a different device and plugged it back in and suddenly worked. I unplugged and replugged it in a few times but not into a different device

#

So i apologize for the inconvenience i have given you

gritty meadow
#

nothing to apologize for

#

happy to hear you got it fixed

#

sounds like you might want to think about maybe getting a new cable

#

because that sounds like a "beginning to have a loose connection" cable

naive pendant

That's on the list, Same with my PSU as i scrapped it from a pre built PC

Already got my new RAM, and so that's the last thing i need to do and that's it

@grim hornet what kind of IO do you need though?

grim hornet
#

As i said i dont realy know about the io

hollow thorn
#

Basically, what do you want to plug into your computer?

#

I.E., say you have a mouse, keyboard, usb headset, a usb hand heater, usb phone charger, etc.

grim hornet
#

Monitor, Mic(USB or XLR), mouse, Keyboard

Monitor usually goes in the gpu

Hey everyone, quick question. Anyone know if I can replace the M.2 wifi card on this ASRock X570 Taichi? Like under the I/O board perhaps, I've read? I'm like done the install and realized this remains. Don't wanna start over if it's not possible. But if it's in there and can be swapped I'll have to ... any idea ?

rotund sail
#

secondary question >>> if i ignore the mobo pre installed m.2. wifi and install my own pcie wifi and put the antennas on that, will that work ??

gritty meadow
#

why would it not? (work with an extra wifi card)

#

and why would you want to replace it?

rotund sail
#

running linux. new install. i've had a rough time with proprietary wifi drivers on a laptop with linux-- which, granted, was a broadcom mac, which are picky-- so i got an open source card for this new desktop. but it comes with an intel m.2. wifi preinstalled in the I/O board. i could take it apart and replace it but if I can just use the pcie for this open one, and ignore the other, seems easier at this point.

#

i guess i can just select which to use and it should be fine. wondered if anyone had any extra advice though

#

anyway thanks--

@small belfry you'll need an H77, Z75, or Z77 motherboard to go with it.

supposedly the H61 and Z67 boards work with them, but some of them require bios updates, but most of them should, by now, already have that done.

My little brother needs a new mobo. Sound doesn't work.
We've tried plugging in different speakers.
Plugging in different usb headsets.
Even plugged an HDMI to the GPU to a TV.
No sound no matter what.

So what's a good mobo/cpu combination for about or around $200?

Well did you download audio drivers?

Yeah. And honestly, they were working before. I don't know what he did that they stopped working.

something like this?

USB-C front panel into USB 3.1 MB header?

vast granite
#

thats like exactly what I was looking for thank you

#

@fallen lynx

fallen lynx
#

important note:
*** Note on USB current over limit issue: The power from the USB 3.0 header on the motherboard has a power rating at 4.5W (0.9A x 5V). However, many USB-C devices can withdraw power up to 100W (20A x 5V). This may result in a power shut down to protect the motherboard and its components. Devices such as iPad Pro and other tablets should not be charged through this port.

vast granite
#

I was worried that it might be an issue but wasnt sure what the adapter would be so I was going to do some research with the link you sent

fallen lynx
#

also i think it is limited to 5BG/sec

#

vast granite
#

I also seen some pcie adaptrs that also have a usb c plug for front io

fallen lynx
#

yes, you can use those too

#

those can probably do a full 10GB if you find the right one

#

the one you send was what I wanted to know if it was a thing an maybe the 3.0 to 3.1 would work or not

naive pendant

and the 2070 is that more for gaming or would it also help a bit

hollow thorn
#

The 2060 ko is a special case

#

the Nvidia RTX 2070 would perform better than the RTX 2060 in everything. But the RTX 2060 ko is an interesting case of a cut-down 2080 die, so the 2060 ko would likely do better in workstation tasks than the 2070, but still worse in gaming.

oke and the 2070 is that oke because i also wanna game on it

the 2060 is still good in gaming btw.

Ok so I've been using this board for around a year and a half which was when I first built my PC. It is an Asus ROG Strix Z390-e and the microphone will not work. Since I first built my PC the mic has never worked. Also the outlet that I use is grounded so I don't believe this is static. I believe this is an issue with the board for a few reasons.

Let me first explain what happens. When I open up the Sound menu on Windows (Windows 10 btw), the green bars will be at full then flash to nothing then full again very quickly when there is no sound that it would be receiving. It just repeatedly does that but for the most part it just stays at full input. It is a 3.5 mm jack mic but it is a working a mic since it works on other devices and I used another working mic and got the same result from the input with the green bars. I got some earbuds with a mic built in to them that are also 3.5 mm jack and the same things happen. I also used a set of Bluetooth headphones with a mic and the exact same thing happened. When I use it in discord on the voice playback option so that I can hear myself I hear a electronic buzz and it gets loud then quiet and just keeps doing that until it eventually stops receiving input. Another odd thing is that every application says the mic is working fine. Windows recognizes it as being fully functional, games like CS:GO say that it is working fine, and Discord detects it as being fine. I get the same thing from Skype as well. Another thing to note is that my headphones work perfectly and I have no issue hearing sound, just transmitting it.

As for what I have done to correct this is a couple of different things. First I wanted to rule out an issue with the case or any other connection port so I tried it on the case, directly into the board, into the monitor, as well as a Bluetooth mic. This all didn't work as I stated earlier. I have reinstalled Windows and there was no difference. I have reinstalled audio drivers and tried updating my drivers. I've done the enabling the mic thing in settings as well.

I'm not too sure what my next move is. I don't really know what else to do besides buy a sound card which is my current plan. I found one forum where two people claimed to have the same sort of issue and that was their solution. Also I would have nicer sound quality. My board has a three year warranty but I don't know if it is worth sending it back and have it ship for god only knows how long and hope the new one works and if I have to pay for shipping then it may be worth it at that point to get a soundcard.

Tell me your thoughts please or if you have had or heard of the problem I'm having and what was done to fix it.

where did you get audio drivers from?

slow kernel
#

windows

main pulsar
#

good

slow kernel
#

ok

#

do you believe someting liek a soundcard could fix this

gritty meadow
#

multi purpose minijacks generally dont work on pc

main pulsar
#

a soundcard wont "fix" the issue, it will replace the previous device

gritty meadow
#

you split the signal for devices like that normally

main pulsar
#

so you can get a cheap soundcard, and just use that

slow kernel
#

ok

main pulsar
#

are you using the jacks in the back of the board?

#

or on the case

slow kernel
#

ive tried both

main pulsar
#

use the ones on the back for now

slow kernel
#

i do but it doesnt change anything

main pulsar
#

does your headset have one or two individual jacks?

slow kernel
#

ive got headphones and a mic seperate

main pulsar
#

so one connector has 2 plastic rings, and the other also has 2 plastic rings

#

and there is no additional usb plug coming off the headset

slow kernel
#

yeah

#

its not a headset though

main pulsar
#

it isnt?

slow kernel
#

no i have headphones plus a seperate mic

main pulsar
#

same difference

slow kernel
#

oh

gritty meadow
#

minor thing to check for you @slow kernel

main pulsar
#

oh, so are you trying to use the seperate mic?

slow kernel
#

yeah

#

the mic wont work

main pulsar
#

so you arent plugging in the headset mic, right?

#

just the headset

slow kernel
#

so there is an input and output line so i plug the headphones into the output and the mic into the input

main pulsar
#

well

#

dont do that

slow kernel
#

what should i do

main pulsar
#

only plug in what you are using

slow kernel
#

i dont have the mic inh right now

main pulsar
#

so plug in the 3.5mm jack for the sound into the appropriate port

#

and leave the mic out

#

then

slow kernel
#

yeah

main pulsar
#

plug in the standalone mic

#

into the rear mic port

slow kernel
#

ok

#

still nothing

trim geyser
#

will there be b650 or new type of motherboards for amd 5000?

gritty meadow
#

@trim geyser no, not that we are aware of at least

trim geyser
#

oh lets go

main pulsar
#

right click the speaker icon on the taskbar and click Sounds

#

then click the recording tab

#

then right click the box where the devices are listed and make sure its showing disabled and disconnected devices

trim geyser
#

bruh

#

the edit

slow kernel
#

yeah its showing them

main pulsar
#

@slow kernel i assume you have the standalone mic plugged into the pink port on the rear of the motherboard, and the headset input plugged into the green one

#

just making sure

slow kernel
#

yes

gritty meadow
#

@trim geyser please keep random comments out of this channel, especially when someone is being helped.

trim geyser
#

ok sorry

main pulsar
#

@slow kernel how many devices do you see under the recording tab that are labeled "High Definition Audio Device" as the subheader

#

like that

slow kernel
#

3

#

the mic then the second mic and the two screw inthings

#

it sayd one mic is plugged in

main pulsar
#

send screen capture of ur recording tab

#

just wanna see

slow kernel
#

ok one sec

gritty meadow
#

he cant send a screen capture @main pulsar

main pulsar
#

oh crap

gritty meadow
#

2sec

main pulsar
#

dm it to me?

slow kernel
#

ok

gritty meadow
#

@urban ferry could you fix permissions for @slow kernel ?

main pulsar
#

or that

urban ferry
#

sure

gritty meadow
#

thank you :)

urban ferry
#

youre welcome

main pulsar
#

❤️

gritty meadow
#

winkey + shift +s = screen capture tool in windows

slow kernel
gritty meadow
#

just ctrl + v what you mark with that directly in the chat :)

main pulsar
#

right click the default one and hit properties

slow kernel
#

ok

main pulsar
#

what does it list under jack information

slow kernel
#

rear panel 3.5 mm Jack and its the pink one

main pulsar
#

ok

#

click listen tab

slow kernel
#

ok

main pulsar
#

then check the listen to this device checkbox

slow kernel
#

ok

main pulsar
#

play it back through the headset

#

then click apply

slow kernel
#

like check through discord

main pulsar
#

no

#

just speak into the mic

#

while the headset is on yo head

slow kernel
#

yeah there is nothing

main pulsar
#

see if you can hear anything

#

does the indicator light up?

slow kernel
#

no not at all

main pulsar
#

or does it still do the glitchy thing

#

does this mic use external power?

slow kernel
#

no there is no glitchy thing right now

#

just nothing

#

like does it have a battery

#

no

main pulsar
#

does it need to plug in via usb or something like that

#

what model is your mic

slow kernel
#

no there is just the plug on the end that is 3.5 mm jack

main pulsar
#

ok

slow kernel
#

could a usb mic act different or probably not

main pulsar
#

a usb mic skips your sound chip altogether

slow kernel
#

i see

main pulsar
#

can you try testing with the headest mic?

#

just swap em, see what happens

slow kernel
#

all the mic i have are 3.5 mm

main pulsar
#

i know

#

thats why im asking you to swap them

slow kernel
#

ok

main pulsar
#

does the headset have any controls built into the cable or headset itself?

#

like mic or volume controls?

#

check for a mic mute button

slow kernel
#

when you say headset mic you mean the headphones and mic are on the same cord

#

like connect with the same cord

main pulsar
#

the headset has a mic built in

slow kernel
#

yeah

main pulsar
#

there is only one cable

slow kernel
#

nothing happens
