Hello i would like to upgrade my rig i currently have a i5 4570 16gig ram and a 1050

#

im trying to decide to go ryzen or intel

#

my spending limit is prob about 500$ maybe a small bit more

#

i have enough storage/psu is 650w 80+gold

#

i was thinking about getting a gtx 1650 with either ryzen or intel but not sure if theres any deals anyone found that are available still that arent soldout

hollow thorn
#

@naive pendant you have 3 options, Good CPU+mobo+ram, Good GPU, or a slight CPU+mobo+ram+gpu upgrade

naive pendant
#

So this is currently have in mind from just browsing

#

i5 9600k 16gig ram 3600mhx and a msi b365 mobo

gritty patio
#

You wouldn't need 3600mhz imo

naive pendant
#

its around 360 right now

#

hm

#

i mean its only 10$ more then the 3200

gritty patio
#

$10 for something imo

#

I don't believe Intel uses the speed so it'd be pointless

hollow thorn
#

You shouldn't get 3600mhz

#

Because that board won't support it

gritty patio
#

^^*

naive pendant
#

hmm

#

alright

hollow thorn
#

Non-Z Intel mobos limit ram freq

gritty patio
#

Where you finding the 9600k?

naive pendant
#

amazon

gritty patio
#

I wanna know how much it is

#

Ahh ok

naive pendant
#

its 200

#

199

hollow thorn
#

Uh

#

Are you near a Microcenter?

naive pendant
#

nope im in florida

#

only have a bestbuy

gritty patio
#

Rip

hollow thorn
#

Then I suggest ditch that, and go 10400+b460+2x8gb 3200c16 ram for likely less $

gritty patio
#

If you want Intel that is

hollow thorn
#

3600 price been wack so imo 10400 is a better option

gritty patio
#

R5 3600 in stock rn at what I believe is msrp

#

Or what used to be msrp

hollow thorn
#

@gritty patio it was nice when it was below msrp at closer to 160

naive pendant
#

hmm will the gtx 1050 be alright

gritty patio
#

Yeah I feel

#

Uhh nah

#

Get a 1650s

naive pendant
#

semi why i wanted to get 1650 atleast

#

lol yeah but 500 ish limit on $

#

is 76$ good for the ram or nah

gritty patio
#

Hol up lemme see

#

A little high

#

For me lmao

hollow thorn
gritty patio
#

Mm newegg has some 3600mhz ram for 69$

#

It's not rgb

#

It's just red

naive pendant
#

yeah i got that on my cart its 310 on amazon

#

then the 1650 would be what like 200$ so thats my limit

hollow thorn
#

It's msrp is like 170$, but stock has been weird

naive pendant
#

unless i just get a super and see if i can do it

hollow thorn
#

1650 super

#

Msrp is like 170$

#

1650 msrp is like 150$

naive pendant
#

yea i seen a msi aero 1650 for 175 or something yesterday

#

or something

#

then supers are like 230

#

which are a rip

#

but umm if i was to choose ryzen

hollow thorn
#

1660 super msrp is like 240$

naive pendant
#

would ryzen 5 3600 uhh not sure about mobo

#

but same ram and 1650 or super

hollow thorn
#

No

#

10400 is just a better option atm

gritty patio
#

Yeah 3600 rn is too much

naive pendant
#

hmm alright

hollow thorn
#

Like when 3600 is 160$, it's good

#

But at 200$, it can't compete with a 10400 that's 155$

naive pendant
#

hmm now is it a good time or should i wait till the new year to get it

gritty patio
#

How much longer into next year?

#

I feel late March is when we'll see big changes

naive pendant
#

hmm

gritty patio
#

I'd rather do that

naive pendant
#

im pretty sure this current pc wont make it till then lol

gritty patio
#

Sad

naive pendant
#

indeed

#

isnt there box day for like canada or whatever it is

gritty patio
#

New lower end offerings will probably be so good tho

#

No clue

naive pendant
#

i think thats tmrw or something

gritty patio
#

Ahh

#

Well what gpu do you have rn?

naive pendant
#

msi aero 1050

#

lol

gritty patio
#

Ohh

#

Mm

naive pendant
#

yeah

gritty patio
#

What do you play lmao

hollow thorn
#

Boxing day is tomorrow

#

Day after Christmas

#

Iirc

naive pendant
#

currently playing ark,BDO,uhhh looking into cold war and maybe cyberpunk after they fix more bugs

hollow thorn
#

Bdo man

naive pendant
#

ye

#

lol

#

i love my stroker 😛

hollow thorn
#

Cold war and cyberpunk are going to be very hard to run

naive pendant
#

yea till the optimize more

hollow thorn
#

I wouldn't bet on those two running well unless you have at least a 2070s/5700xt

gritty patio
#

Hardly tho

naive pendant
#

hm i think the main thing is ark rn

hollow thorn
#

I mean, when do they ever optimise, don't remember MW running any better lol

gritty patio
#

Arkkekw

naive pendant
#

i get about max 40fps

#

lolz

#

yeah ik

gritty patio
#

Dog game

#

Looks like garbage

#

Pls

naive pendant
#

ik lol

gritty patio
#

Quit playing that game kekw

#

Hurts my eyes

naive pendant
#

xD im a admin for a server soo kinda cant rn lol

hollow thorn
#

Like the only way to be able to run CW/CP well for you would be to use the entire budget on a 3070 tbh

gritty patio
#

^^^

naive pendant
#

hm

gritty patio
#

I was thinking that cause your i5 would be a bottleneck

naive pendant
#

i mean im super used to running sht on 20 fps

#

lol

gritty patio
#

But the biggest bottleneck you have rn is your gpu

hollow thorn
#

Once you spoil yourself with good fps you can never go back xd

gritty patio
#

^^

naive pendant
#

lol yea im sure XD

#

I have to choose between 5600x and 3700x

hollow thorn
#

5600x

gritty patio
#

Depends

#

^^

hollow thorn
#

If anything, resale value >:D

gritty patio
#

But yes if you're just gaming

hollow thorn
#

There are some cases where 3700x can be better

naive pendant
#

I could pay 150 more for 5800x that would be painful

hollow thorn
#

But 5600x better for gaming

naive pendant
#

Plus I feel like 5800x is bad bargain compared to 5900x

hollow thorn
#

5800x pricing is just wak

naive pendant
#

So 5600x safest bet?

gritty patio
#

Yes

naive pendant
#

Ik ppl make a big deal of only 6 cores + how future proof 6 cores is vs 8 and 10

gritty patio
#

You won't live long enough to see even 4 cores get utilized if you're just gaming kekw

naive pendant
#

hmm so seems like its 450$ if i get the gpu off adorama

#

1650 is 150

naive pendant
#

What about gaming with chrome tabs, discord, Spotify open in background

#

Idk too much about cpu utilization so I might still be fine with 6

#

I also hope to do video editing + rendering though

warm path
#

Yes, I told you I completed my upgrade successfully. The upgrade was from a Pentium G3220T to an Intel Core i7-4790S. The temperatures are doing fine and I ran a test on Prime95 and max temperature with AVX disabled is 74C. The i7 also ran cooler than the Pentium at idle.

#

Temperatures are in the 50s while gaming.

naive pendant
#

My i9 registers as an i7-7900X in Bios

#

just went from i5 9400f to i5 9600k and 20gb ram to 32gb and got a liquid cooler

naive pendant
#

Pre production yayyyyy...

ruby laurel
#

woooo yea babey

naive pendant
#

It's also seeing my drives but can't boot off of them

ruby laurel
#

that is unfortunate

#

guess u gotta send the combo to me keeeek

#

doesnt boot from nvme maybe?

#

using latest bios?

naive pendant
#

It came optimized for tenth gen but I'm using a seventh gen processor, and I'm using an hdd ssd for storage and booting

ruby laurel
#

but is the ssd nvme?

naive pendant
#

No it's a data one sorry

#

Sata*

ruby laurel
#

huh

lone ridge
#

any motherboard recommendations for the ryzen 5 5600x?

#

with wifi

warm path
subtle thunder
#

why is my memory stuck at 50 percent when theirs nothing using it

#

alot of it

carmine merlin
#

so if i have a ryzen 2700 with an aio cooler can i overclock it with no problem, never done overclocking before and watching youtube ._.

ruby laurel
#

windows will expand its usage to fit the amount of ram you give it

sharp temple
#

hey, I just installed a 16gb stick of ram into my hp pavilion 16.1 (16-a0xxx), and the computer is running incredibly slower than it used to

ruby laurel
#

hp keeeek

sharp temple
#

bruh

#

the system used to have two 4gb 2933 mHz, and i replaced one of them for a 16 gb 2666 mHz stick

ruby laurel
#

its prolly downclocking then

#

dont mix and match ram omegalul

sharp temple
#

what should I do? remove the other stick and let the 16 gb stick run alone?

ruby laurel
#

thats even worse lul

#

just get 2x8gb 2933

sharp temple
#

i cant find 2933 tho

#

I initially searched everywhere for 2933 and i cant find it at all

ruby laurel
#

3000 should downclock just fine

#

this might be alr as well

sharp temple
#

my computer only supports max of 2933 tho, so i cant go for 3000

ruby laurel
#

it clocks itself to 2933

#

but just get 2666 if ur worried

sharp temple
#

well, I have a 2666 stick rn, and its slowing my system down a ton

#

if I just returned the stick of ram that I have and put a 8gb stick of 2933 in, putting my total memory to 12 gb, but with upgrading in the future in mind, would that work?

naive pendant
#

don't mix and match

#

i had 3 sticks one time and when i took the random one out my perf increased 40%

#

especially because i couldn't XMP

sharp temple
#

hmm ok, so If i were to take out the other 4gb stick and let the system run on the singular 16 gb stick would it run faster?

cobalt meteor
#

Tbh I never had a problem mixing and matching ram, as long as they have the same capacity

sharp temple
#

ah, then thats my problem. i guess ill just send the stick back and save up for two 2933 8gb sticks

cobalt meteor
#

And getting the faster ram clocked down to the other ram's speed

carmine merlin
#

so i overclocked my ryzen 7 2700 to 1.3v and 4.025 and my temps go to 35-40c underload, im wondering if i should go higher

sour musk
#

how much faster is the 1070 over the rx 570?
in 1080p

compact sun
#

anybody on that can help me set up xpg 4100 memory for my crosshair vII?

cobalt meteor
#

Even if the speed are different I still don't really have a problem

ruby laurel
#

as long as ur ok with being stuck with the slowest stick

#

Does someone know how good is the AMD Ryzen 3 3200G

main pulsar
#

good at?

#

being a paperweight?

#

not really

#

too light imo

#

need something heavier

tidal cairn
#

Well specifically for gaming

#

And some basic tasks

main pulsar
#

its a solid chip for 1080p60 gaming

#

really cheap, no dGPU needed

#

i would say the 3400g is the better option, because you get the vega 11 instead of the vega 8

#

definitely worth the extra 20-40 dollars

tidal cairn
#

I just went on some sites with pre builds and saw that cpu, i made a list of components for a pc and i put a ryzen 3 3100 for that

main pulsar
#

3100 and 3300x are really hard to get ahold of

#

are you planning on getting a dedicated gpu?

tidal cairn
#

Yeah, i am on quite a budget so i was planning to get a gtx 1660

main pulsar
#

you cant really get those anymore

tidal cairn
#

😢

main pulsar
#

unless you wanted to pay double what its actually worth

ruby laurel
#

imo for dgpu low end intel isnt too bad

main pulsar
#

vega 11 smashes the 630 tho

tidal cairn
#

Well i live un Europe, and so far what i've seen they aren't that hard to come by

main pulsar
#

vega 11 still isnt all that great

#

ive heard availability is better in other countries outside the us

#

where in europe?

tidal cairn
#

Austria

ruby laurel

ruby laurel

vernal apex
#

I got an AsRock B450 Fatal1ty gaming K4. Looking at it its got two silver things to the top and left of the CPU socket. Seems like they can be removes can they? Looking to install an AIO but cant fit it unless i remove the top one.

main pulsar
#

i would suggest this cpu, but im not sure about pricing of other things in your area

#

anybody on that can help me set up xpg 4100 memory for my crosshair viii?

Can anyone help me with my pc not booting due to my cpu

#

I have a Ryzen 5 5600x on a b550 msi mobo and everything is turning on when I boot it up but there's a light saying the cpu is not showing or isnt working properly and there is no output on screen

strong aspen
#

Check the wires

split trout
#

I just built this computer and turned it on for the first time and it says to press del or f2 to go to the uefi bios, but when I press those keys it does not do anything so I am stuck on that screen. Can someone help me?

naive pendant
#

I do workstation stuff on my computer, but it really isn't too heavy, and I play video games (tarkov, apex). Is it worth it to wait for a 5600x to be back in stock to upgrade, or should I just buy a 3800x as it is going for $320 at microcenter right now?

ruby laurel
naive pendant
#

I really want to upgrade, current processor (5 2600) has been giving me problems

tall thicket
#

Merry Christmas! Can anybody on the chat help me with my memory frequency? Has corsair vengeance 32 GB DDR4 4000

#

running on an AMD 3800 XT

#

The memory is keep running at 2133 default frequency even after setup the XMP and change the dram voltage to 1.35V

hollow thorn
#

@tall thicket Merry Christmas to you too, I'm guessing the Infinity fabric isn't liking running 1:1 with 2000mhz, can you try doing 3800mhz?

#

(Manually setting frequency, not xmp)

tall thicket
#

@hollow thorn thanks! The frequency is not changing as using 1.2 V vs using 1.35 V

hollow thorn
#

Oh and another thing, how are you checking frequency?

tall thicket
#

I checked it in bios. it shows 2133 Mhz for both chips

hollow thorn
#

Because Task manager and some other software are not very trustworthy

Bios is good, alright

#

What motherboard is it?

tall thicket
#

Also right now in iCUE it is showing 1064 mhz now with 15-15-15-36 with 2T instead of 18-22-22-42

#

motherboard is gigabyte x570 elite

hollow thorn
#

Sounds like JEDEC defaults

tall thicket
#

still a newbee here, cuz this is the first time i switch to ryzen...

hollow thorn
#

Alright, in bios, let's try setting things manually, with XMP off, frequency to 3800mhz, and voltage at 1.35v

#

My guess is the infinity fabric is trying to run 1:1 with the true ram frequency, as default, and Infinity fabric on 3rd gen Ryzen doesn't usually go past 1900mhz

tall thicket
#

Also I tried to use DRAM calculator to do some tweaks but cannot locate the PCB revision

tall thicket
hollow thorn
#

Typhoon burner should give you that

#

(1900mhz -> 3800MT/s and that's why you should try 3800mhz in the bios to see)

tall thicket
#

how to specifically set frequency to 3800 MHz

#

I can only see the DRAM voltage DDRVPP Voltage and DRAM termination. And in advanced setting it’s all timing control

hollow thorn
#

Hm

#

Not very familiar with Gigabyte bios, but take a look around, it's usually not buried deep in a submenu

frozen heron
#

Hello I have a question

#

Regarding motherboards

hollow thorn
#

Go ahead

tall thicket
#

@hollow thorn cool thank you very much it’s solved I think. It’s called system memory multiplier. I changed it to 38.00 and now it runs at 3800 MHz.

frozen heron
#

K so I got a crosshair vlll hero

hollow thorn
#

Oh interesting

frozen heron
#

And what’s the difference between the dark one and normal version

hollow thorn
#

Never heard of it being called that lol @tall thicket

#

@frozen heron Slightly better VRMs and guaranteed Ryzen 5000 series support iirc

frozen heron
#

I got a 3900xt

leaden sleet
#

Still thinking between 5600x or 7300x

frozen heron
#

So shouldn’t be as big of a deal right

hollow thorn
#

Yea no that's not a big deal

#

@leaden sleet 7300x..?

ruby laurel
#

3700z

#

x

#

i bet

tall thicket
# hollow thorn Never heard of it being called that lol <@!184463181630930944>

Lol idk but now it seems running on 3800. Now maybe another slightly skewed question. I’m running on a 3000 series Ryzen 7. My ram can go as high as 4000. But I know the zen 2 probably runs better with 3600 MHz. How should my timing be set up? The manufacture has 18-22-22-42. Should I follow that or change to a different value if I downgrade from 4000 to 3600?

#

The default was 15-15-15-36

hollow thorn
#

Alright, here's the thing, remember what I talked about Infinity Fabric speed being 1:1 with ram freq? That's the reason for the performance gain from 3200mhz to 3600mhz (Infinity Fabric clock going from 1600mhz to 1800mhz), and why 3600mhz is preferred, and what people call the sweet spot.

tall thicket
#

Yes

hollow thorn
#

and since Infinity Fabric clock max out at around 1900mhz usually, that's usually where you could get the most performance.

#

@tall thicket Alright, do you have CPUz?

tall thicket
#

I’ll download one

leaden sleet
hollow thorn
#
#

@leaden sleet depends on what you plan on doing, gaming, 5600x for sure, something more like editing, 3700x.

tall thicket
hollow thorn
#

Can you go to the Memory tab?

leaden sleet

#

Yes

Can you take a screenshot and DM me?

any ideas as to when the ryzen 7 5800x will be back in stock

potent dew
#

So for some reason bluetooth stopped working on my PC (mobo is B450 Aorus Elite rev. 1.x), I'm 99% sure I used it before with my controller and my phone, any ideas?

#

It doesn't show up anywhere in device manager even when scanning for legacy devices, unless it doesn't have bluetooth in it's name

#

Unless I've only ever used my controller with the connection that it uses on Xbox

potent dew
#

It actually seems like it doesn't have it based off of the Gigabyte website, Amazon says otherwise, though. Listing is probably wrong.

elfin warren

Only the WiFi models have bluetooth

Bruh this guy on tiktok said not to touch the pins on his cpu or it might break and he just bricked his cpu smh. And this isn’t one of these ones when they make a joke he actually broke it without knowing.

elfin warren

Never touch the underside of the CPU

There's capacitors where his finger is that you can knock off too lol

so im overclocking my ryzen 7 2700 to 4.025 with 1.3v
[11:20 PM]
and everytime i restart it keeps going back default
[11:20 PM]
._.

vagrant cosmos
#

So when you overclock a cpu, you are using it’s full potential? Is there any downside to that?

#

I’m worried if i overclock, it can over heat.

pearl zealot
#

Heat and power and stability

sour musk
#

omg

pearl zealot
#

Typically your cpu runs pretty stable at it's base settings. You can increase the frequency a bit, it will be doing more work. Increase it too much and the power you're giving it won't be enough, it won't be stable. You'll have to raise the voltage to give it enough juice to run at the speed you set.

This takes more power and generates more heat

carmine merlin
#

so about my thing

#

it keeps going back to default on boot

elfin warren
#

I mean, Max boost clock is 4.1 ghz

#

Why are you doing this manually?

carmine merlin
#

what else am i supposed to do

elfin warren
#

Turn on PBO

#

Put a load on it

#

Let the processor do it's thing

carmine merlin
#

i turned it on bios it didnt seem to do anything

elfin warren
#

Gotta load CPU

#

base clock is 3.2, Max boost is 4.1

carmine merlin
#

i am a noob

#

teach me master

#

how do i load it

#

PBO is already on

elfin warren
#

Cinebench R20

pearl zealot

Also prime 95, and really any common benchmark with a cpu specific section

carmine merlin
#

whats the official website for cinebench

#

tons of bootleg virus when i look it up T_T

#

found it microsoft store

elfin warren
#

WTF browser you using? First link is good. Maxon.net

#

Or Techspot

#

First two links from Google are perfect

Took me a minute to find it cuz I got a prebuilt 😓

elfin warren
#

Mmm

#

bad news

candid juniper
#

Yea

#

I’m willing to get a new motherboard if that’s the case

elfin warren
#

You can put a faster processor in there

#

It's not what I thought it was

candid juniper
#

Any recommendations?

elfin warren
#

Looking

candid juniper
#

Oh thanks

elfin warren
#

I mean, you could put like a i7 9700 in there.

#

But I wouldn't go any more than that

Anyone know the fps difference between 3600 CL16 and CL 18? I want the Corsair Vengeance CL18 for the looks and since it's 20 bucks cheaper but the G.skill CL 16 is 20 bucks more.

Ah well, if theyre at the same speed it's more like 3-4%, up to you if that's worth jt

naive pendant

@faint ferry one is 20 dollars cheaper and the other one is 20 dollars more expensive. When actually playing games you won’t notice a difference between cl 16 and cl18, as it’ll likely only show itself in an FPS diff of like 10 at the most. Get whatever fits your budget and if you save money then put it somewhere else like storage or gpu

just buy cl18

elfin warren
#

1%?

#

XD

#

Funny guy, can be 10% depending on CPU and games. gamers nexus did tests, some games improved 10+ FPS with 3600 CL16 over 3866 CL18

Hey. So, curious question. I had made a purchase under the assumption I was buying a Asus Crosshair VIII Dark Hero, as the pictures and search suggested, but ended up receiving a Hero instead. Is there any major differences in the two that perhaps a spec sheet doesn't list and are the differences big enough to contest the order? I wanted the Dark Hero, but can't see massive differences and if there isn't anything major, don't want to argue to purchase since it still wasn't a bad price.

#

It was horribly false advertised, but, I can live with it if it changes nothing that matters. Ports I wanted all seem to be still be there too.

elfin warren
#

I mean, if the listing stated Dark Hero and you got a regular HERO, I'd contest it simply on the grounds that you didn't get what you paid for

ruby laurel
#

^^^^^^

#

theyll prolly partial refund keeeek

lilac raptor
#

Thought about it, but I got it for less than the Hero is normally priced at, whereas the Dark Hero itself retails even higher.

elfin warren
#

There are slight differences in the power VRM's and BIOs but nothing majoy

lilac raptor
#

Hm. Never thought about that.

ruby laurel
#

worst case they ask for it back and u say no

elfin warren
#

And a passive HS on the chipset instead of a fan

ruby laurel
elfin warren
#

Both are great, both will work well with even 5950x, etc

#

Lol

#

My GPU sits literally right on top of my chipset fan

#

New case has a vert mount GPU 😉

ruby laurel
#

fam kills self and you need to disable it unless u want a crunchy sounding motherboard keeeek

lilac raptor
#

Alright. Thank you for the advice.

ruby laurel
#

i just plan to rack everything

#

so idc abt noise ill slam the fans to 10000000000%

stray dragon
#

I was gonna talk, you seem to have been talking about this just now. I accidentally bought a hero instead of a dark hero. It is at the courier service that I use in Miami I don’t know what I should do. The dark hero is only like 20 bucks more expensive, which is not so steep for better performance for zen3 CPUs.

elfin warren
#

It doesn't really offer better performance TBH

#

It's all about looks and the chipset fan vs none

#

Unless you'll be Extreme overclocking, IE LN2, don't worry about it

warm path
gloomy spear
#

Ok

pearl zealot
#

Unless your mobo has qflash or flashback or whatever

#

Some mobos can update using a usb without a cpu

rigid sluice
#

i am angry now i bought a ducking core 2 quad in hopes of putting it in a XPS 400 to turn into a NAS
While yes the Q6600 is compatible with the chipset those dell duckers made the bios not ducking compatible im ticked off af now

#

well since im restricted to a Pentium D now might as well overclock it or something by putting a piece of tape on it

ruby laurel
rigid sluice
#

ok you will a 2.8GHZ pentium D work for nas box

ruby laurel
#

Yeah

rigid sluice
#

wont a slow cpu affect rebuild times

#

or whatever

#

?

long geyser
#

Depends what you use the NAS for. If it's purely storage I'd guess it'd be fine. If you start doing some server stuff then it might be an issue

rigid sluice
#

i only need it to act like a additional storage device

#

as long as it can force 100MB/s of data to the network im fine

burnt finch
#

whats a good matx mobo for a good price?

rigid sluice
#

theres lots of micro atx boards out there

elfin warren

we need to know what cpu you want

burnt finch

The speed of those cores doesnt rly matter 90% of the time

rigid sluice

is it wierd that when ever im working with LGA proccessors since i dont have socket covers laying around i will just use a random celeron or whatever i can find as a socket protector? just put a random cpu in it so the socket isnt exposed?

ruby laurel

No i do that

#

Although i dont think those sockets deserve protection

I literally snapped a 775 board in half a bit ago

of course you did

ruby laurel

The big brain technique

rigid sluice

this dell is heavy af since its loaded with drives
i feel bad for the people who have to install servers loaded with drivess

ruby laurel

We dont

#

We install the chassis and then the drives

#

My jbod is like 200lb lmao

rigid sluice
#

now im just thinking about that one LTT episode where they carried a server with like 100 drives in it up a flight of stairs by hand

ruby laurel

Its cause the entire ltt staff are idiots

rigid sluice

i just started this drive loaded xps 400 for the first tine

#

and like so many drive spinning up in it at once

ruby laurel

Nyoom

rigid sluice

feels like a gyroscope since this thing feels like its fighting you if you try to lean it even a little

ruby laurel

Dont lean it

rigid sluice

i know it just feels wierd

#

im now using a broken monitor to install linux on this thing yes i will install the nas os later but this is just for testing the drives

ruby laurel
#

Ur so weird and do stuff so sub-optimally keeeeek

rigid sluice
#

i know but i also dont have a deep knowledge base of these things

ruby laurel
#

Thats why u listen to ppl like me keeeeek

rigid sluice

well these are sketchy drives so i do need to stress test them

#

oop

#

i just got a error

i really wanna get like a 128GB USB drive and just make one of those multi os install USBs

so i dont constantly have to reimage a usb

ruby laurel

Thats what i did

#

Now i just make my own usbs

#

I have one with like

#

Almosy every msdn windows image keeeeek

rigid sluice
#

ok crazy enterprise person
which would be better
the dedicated nas os which i have never used before
or linux which i already know how to use

will one have better performance then the other? or somethin?

ruby laurel
#

If only you knew that the dedicated nas os runs on linux keeeeek

rigid sluice
#

ok then linux it is

ruby laurel
#

Either option is linux but using the distro customized to serving up files is the less smooth brain approach

#

But ive stopped caring keeeeek

rigid sluice
#

wtf im trying to install linux

#

but it keeps saying

#

SYSTEM HALTED INVALID ELF FILE

#

whatever the duck that means

ruby laurel

Maybe use the correct os

And ill help keeeeek

What distro u even using

Anyone know if using used ram from a prebuilt on a custom computer causes any issues?

#

Someone locally is selling a 32gb kit pretty cheap, he just says it uses a dell xmp profile that doesn't work with other sticks

elfin warren
#

Yeah best to stay away then

hollow thorn
#

They're usually crappy kits

#

in terms of freq/timings

elfin warren
#

Because you ll be limited to thebslowest speeds and timing.

ruby laurel
#

Oem ram is good in some cases

dusty cliff
#

The freq is 3200MHz. I can't find anything about timings

elfin warren
#

If you have 3600 now, dont.

ruby laurel
#

Not for gaming tho

dusty cliff
#

This is for a new build

#

so i have 0 now haha

hollow thorn
#

check timings

#

There are weird OEM kits with like 3200mhz cl22

elfin warren
#

For ryzen 5000 you want 3600 cl 16

ruby laurel
#

Yeah lol

dusty cliff

can't find it on dell's website

hollow thorn

What's the model

elfin warren

$80

dusty cliff

Kingston XN205T-HYD2

ruby laurel

He's selling it for $120. It's 2x16

ruby laurel

But thats me

dusty cliff
#

The postings been up for 3 months so I can probably haggle him haha

hollow thorn
#

hm

dusty cliff
#

I just don't know about timings. And if they're boo boo i don't want it

hollow thorn
#

You can get a normal 3200c16 kit for close to 100$ new

dusty cliff
#

3200 vs 3600 isn't that big of a dif based on some benchmark videos I watched. I need the extra memory though

hollow thorn
#

back-ordered but you see the price

dusty cliff
#

wtf. I thought 32gb kits were usually closer to $200. Why's that one so cheap

hollow thorn
#

used to be ~115$ not on sale

#

@dusty cliff 4x8gb kits tend to be more expensive than 2x16gb kits

#

like 4x8gb 3600c16 kits are more like 200$

#

2x16gb 3600c16 kits are like 150$

#

and 2x16gb 3200c16 kits are more like 100$

hey guys, I need some help with my cpu performance

#

so I have an intel i7 tenth gen CPU and I play team fortress 2 pretty much daily, and typically I fluctuate from around 4.2GHz-4.7GHz and I never have framerate issues. But just today and yesterday I started noticing that whenever the game is open my clock speed drops significantly to around 3GHz and I notice a lot of dropped frames. Is there any cause for this and can I do anything about it?

elfin warren
#

Which CPU?

#

Intel is famous for Single Core high clocks but all core loads drop frequency

naive pendant
#

10510U

#

4 cores

elfin warren
#

Yeah, all core Turbo speed is less than Single Core turbo

#

That's why

#

no, don't do that!

eager patio
#

Hi I'm trying to upgrade my old computer to be able to play WoW Classic. I'm trying to find a cheap CPU that will do a decent job of it. Blizzard recommends for Intel i7 7600K/6700K/ 4790K. All of the ones I find have the Video on the chip and I'm planning on buying a Video card so I don't need the video on the chip. Is there a big price difference if i can find one with out the video on the CPU?

elfin warren
#

It's just the way the processor works. It's fine. It's also a mobile processor

naive pendant
#

so what would I do to fix this? It's only the past few days where i've had this

hollow thorn
#

@eager patio The chip having an iGPU doesn't affect performance

#

All Intel chips with the F ending (9900kf, 10900kf, etc) don't have an iGPU, if you really need it.

elfin warren
#

I mean, you can disable the Multicore rendering but it will probably be a performance hit. Multicore > single core

naive pendant
#

yeah

#

but what do I do about the clock speed

elfin warren
#

"Stepping down to the next model, the i7-10510U, you'll get higher speeds (1.1GHz base; 4.9GHz single-core Turbo; 4.3GHz all-core Turbo) but only four cores and eight threads."

naive pendant
#

the drop normally would never happen when I open the game

hollow thorn
#

@naive pendant Track temps

hollow thorn
#

I have a feeling it's throttling

elfin warren
#

Nope

#

"Stepping down to the next model, the i7-10510U, you'll get higher speeds (1.1GHz base; 4.9GHz single-core Turbo; 4.3GHz all-core Turbo) but only four cores and eight threads."

naive pendant
elfin warren
#

It's working the way it's supposed to

hollow thorn
#

hm?

elfin warren
#

That processor

#

"Stepping down to the next model, the i7-10510U, you'll get higher speeds (1.1GHz base; 4.9GHz single-core Turbo; 4.3GHz all-core Turbo) but only four cores and eight threads."

naive pendant
#

but why did it never do that before

#

all core turbo being 4.3GHz is more than what i'm seeing with tf2

#

it's dropping down as low as 2.5GHz occasionally

hollow thorn
#

@elfin warren I forgot, do they do the TVB thing on their 10th gen mobile chips?

elfin warren
#

Ye. Single core clock higher than Multi core clock

#

BUt if it's 2.5 ghz, that's not great either.

#

I mean, that graph doesn't have a number

#

But looks like around 3.75-4.0 ghz

#

Where it dops

naive pendant
#

yeah

#

but I know for certain it doesn't normally drop anywhere below 4GHz

elfin warren
#

Could be a lot of things but maybe heat

#

Playing in a new location maybe? On your lap instead of a desk?

naive pendant
#

nope I usually run below 80 degrees

#

or just reaching it

#

and I use a desk with an elevated cooling pad

elfin warren
#

Well

#

the throttle temperature is 72 C

#

So I'd imagine that's why

hollow thorn
#

I kind of want to suggest slapping it with p95 smallfft

naive pendant
#

whats smallfft

hollow thorn
#

elfin warren
#

hollow thorn
#

no that's called furmark @elfin warren

elfin warren
#

My 3700x disagrees with you

naive pendant
#

ok how do I stress test

elfin warren
#

Need to see what your temps are under load

#

I think that 55c is just with a couple things open

hollow thorn
#

@elfin warren even with my 180w spikes on my CPU from p95, furmark draws more power >:P

elfin warren
#

And if that's idle temp, 55C is a touch warm

#

My 3700x gets really angry with smallfft

naive pendant
#

it's a laptop lol can't expect low temps

elfin warren
#

We don't. But even a laptop at 55c idle is a bit warm

#

how old is it?

ruby laurel
#

prolly not too old

#

10th gen still recent

elfin warren
#

Ye, I'd guess a year or less

naive pendant
#

the laptop itself is about 2 months old

#

in terms of when I bought it

elfin warren
#

That 55C, is that with nothing but Discord open?

naive pendant
#

no

elfin warren
#

maybe a browser?

naive pendant
#

that was with tf2 on the main menu, discord, and 2 chrome tabs

I would go for 9600k personally

severe walrus

@hollow thorn I'm planning on using Ethernet

hollow thorn

@severe walrus Well the motherboard wouldn't really matter for you internet speed, but I'd prob get a cheaper motherboard anyways because that just seems overpriced lel

severe walrus

It was on sale for 210$ recently and I'm trying to see if it might be 180$ on amazon but i'm also looking at this mobo

pale mist

@mental bronze the 9600k is better performance sheer number wise and used boards are cheaper

#

and there is OC

severe walrus

are they both the same thing since once is B550-A and the other is B550-F @hollow thorn

you should maybe consider an x570 board over a high end b550 also

@severe walrus alright looks like the exact same board except for looks

b550-f and b550-a

severe walrus
#

Okay thanks man!

#

I'm going for a white build but both boards look awesome and thats why I was thinking bout getting one of them but was wondering if the ethernet speed even mattered to me since it looks like the board has issues with the 2.5gb lan

mental bronze
#

Wait so if I wanted to use a capture card in my computer (say, an Elgato HD60 S) then I wouldn’t be able to use it because the 10400F has no IGPU?

#

I read a review on PCPP that says “I hadn’t realized the F meant the HDMI ports in the motherboard would be useless even when the GPU was plugged in. I half knew, but I wouldn’t mind paying an extra 20£ for the non-F version.” Does this mean that if I plug an external capture card into my mobo, it won’t work?

the capture card should have its own inputs

Hey folks, I got a new set of Corsair Vengeance RAM Model number CMK32GX4M4C3000C15 ver. 5.32. I removed all of my exiting RAM and tried many variations of placements of the new RAM to verify if I had a motherboard issue or an issue with the RAM. Variations were as follows Slots: A1,B1,C1,D1 then A1,B1 then just slot A1 with all four sticks one at a time. All attempts to boot failed to post. Is there a compatibility issue with this model of RAM? To verify it isn't my motherboard I put back my existing RAM and the computer has no issues. The QVL list specifies Model CMK32GX4M4C3000C15 Ver. 5.30. So my only guess is that Ver. 5.32 is incompatible. Any Suggestions?

My only thought is do you have any way of testing the Corsair kit to see if it works? I would assume it'd at least boot with 1 stick...

ornate drum
#

Tested them all one by one and none of them will post its either their all dead or their incompatible in some way

hollow thorn
#

It would be very weird that a different version of the same model of ram sticks is just completely incompatible

ornate drum
#

i would bring them to my buddys to test on his rig but its COVID

hollow thorn
#

fair

ornate drum
#

So i checked my cpu "Intel I7 5820k" and apparently its only compatible with 2133Mhs. Both my old and new ram are base 3000Mhs but i checked my Bios and my old RAM has been Underclocked at 2133 the whole time. Is it possible that the new ram just cannot be underclocked at that speed?

Bro my motherboard won't post and it's just giving the dram debug error

#

What the balls

#

Asus tuff gaming x570 plus

elfin warren
#

What ram is it?

graceful elm
#

Pc part picker showed no problems

#

Also people on here have seen my part list and there was nothing wrong

elfin warren
#

4400 MHZ?

graceful elm
#

Yes

elfin warren
#

O.o that's overkill

#

BUt

graceful elm
#

Yes

elfin warren
#

have you tried a clear CMOS

#

?

graceful elm
#

Yes

elfin warren
#

One stick?

graceful elm
#

Yes

elfin warren
#

Any other RAM to test?

graceful elm
#

No

elfin warren
#

Might be a bad CPU or motherboard

#

one stick in all the slots?

graceful elm
#

Just one stick in a2

elfin warren
#

Try other slots. Try a B slot

#

If it works, good chance the A channel is dead

#

Either CPU or motherboard

wispy berry
#

anyone here own a b550 strix

elfin warren
#

Specifically, try B1

#

And B2

#

but b1 first

graceful elm
#

Dram immediately came on

#

The light

#

It has for b2, a1 and a2

elfin warren
#

B1?

graceful elm
#

No work

elfin warren
#

Hmmm

#

At this point, it's either CPU or RAM

#

I'd suggest removing the CPU and checking for bent pins

#

If no bent pins, might be the ram

#

Borrow some from a friend to test if possible?

graceful elm
#

I'm the unluckiest man alive

elfin warren
#

Well, DDR4 4400 ram is relatively new

#

I'm honestly surprised people told you to buy it

#

If you can get a slower speed stick to work, highly recommend updating the BIOS since the newest one contains RAM compatibility improvements

#

wait

#

Is this a 5800X you're trying to use in the motherboard??

graceful elm
#

Yes

elfin warren
#

Man

#

Man o man

graceful elm
#

Don't say it

elfin warren
#

That board needs a BIOS update before you can do that -_-

#

Hence the DRAM light

graceful elm
#

I was told it might have came updated

elfin warren
#

No

stable wedge
#

probably not

elfin warren
#

5800x way too new for that

#

mobos BIOS is at least a couple months old due to the supply chain

#

Figure 3-6 months behind

#

to be safe

graceful elm
#

This is straight doo doo balls

elfin warren
#

I'm sorry I wasn't around when all this went down 😦

stable wedge
#

shouldn't be hard to update

elfin warren
#

Board has no BIOS flashback

#

So he's gonna need a 3rd gen processor

graceful elm
#

I don't have another cpu to update it

#

This is ass

elfin warren
#

It is ass. I'm sorry.

graceful elm
#

What's the cheapest one that will work

elfin warren
#

Borrow one from a friend?

graceful elm
#

My friends are all asses

elfin warren
#

That sucks

stable wedge
#

lol well make new ones

graceful elm
#

They aren't taking apart their computers for me

elfin warren
#

I mean, if you message AMD they'll send you a kit but IDK how long it will take to get

#

They basically send you a processor to use and you send it back

#

At the very bottom of the page

graceful elm
#

I've looked into that

elfin warren
#

I wish people wouldn't assume and would give better advice 😦

#

If it were me, I'd try and find a cheap 1st gen ryzen second hand to use for this

#

OfferUp, FB Marketplace, Craigslist or something

graceful elm
#

Wait so what cpu should I try to get

elfin warren
#

Like a 1600 or 1700 Ryzen

#

SOmething super cheap

#

The cheapest ERyzen you can find lol

stable wedge
#

i'm not sure 1st gen will work in the x570 chipset?

graceful elm
#

Doesn't it need to be a 3000 series

elfin warren
#

NO

#

Sorry, no

#

Everything out of stock too on Newegg

#

Hence I'd try the second hand market or maybe even Ebay

stable wedge
#

It would need to be a 2nd gen or 3rd gen AMD

graceful elm
#

Yeah

elfin warren
#

Nope, 1st gen works

#

Anything with AGESA 1.0.04

graceful elm
#

I looked at compatibility and the earliest ones were 2000 series

elfin warren
#

I know. I'm telling you it will work despite not being listed

stable wedge
elfin warren
#

Sigh

stable wedge
#

lol it may work... but he's saying its unsupported 😉

elfin warren
#

I'm saying, it'll work. So if you find a cheap one, snag it lol

stable wedge
#

Take his word for it. I can't say I've done it. I've got a 3rd gen in mine right now. Waiting to bump up on the 5800x

elfin warren
#

Ye, I have a 3700x

#

Not going for a new proc though, waiting on my turn for a 3070

stable wedge
#

I went with the 3800xt right now

elfin warren
#

Good unit

stable wedge
#

yeah just got a 3080 last week

elfin warren
#

Ah, nice!

#

Honestly, probably Ok with the 3800 but the 5800 sure won't hurt!

#

I'll probably snag a 5900 when things calm down

stable wedge
#

yeah I agree with that. I've heard that anything above 5800x is more for video rendering and such. Kind of overkill for the gaming

elfin warren
#

Gaming and streaming, mebbe not

#

Photo and video editing, definitely not lol

stable wedge
#

yeah cause I was debating on the samehting

graceful elm
#

@elfin warren I just drove to my coding teachers house and picked up his 2600

#

Lmao

#

Thoughts on MSI B450M Bazooka Max WiFi ?

naive pendant
#

@elfin warren

elfin warren
#

What processor?

naive pendant
elfin warren
#

Ye, that'll be fine

ruby laurel
elfin warren
#

Well, funny story

#

I realized the email I signed up with wasn't the one on my account -_-

#

Just a week ago

ruby laurel
elfin warren
#

Ye

#

So, I'm watching stores online lol

#

I'm sitting on $150 worth of gift cards to throw at one I've been hanging on to lol

naive pendant
elfin warren
#

I mean, as long as it has the ports and accessories you need, a motherboard doesn't really do much else

#

If you were putting in a high end AMD CPU, I'd be a bit concerned with the VRM but don't get too hung up on motherboards

#

Ram speeds are good

#

2 PCI-E reinforced slots

#

1 M.2 slot

#

Should be enough for everyone TBH

naive pendant
#

👍🏻

elfin warren
#

And honestly the onboard wifi nowadays is pretty decent

#

My AC1600 router, I'm getting 780 mbps over WiFi XD
