most antiviruses have an option to detect fullscreen applications and not do things when fullscreen applications are open

#

as far as i know anyways

uncut fjord Feb 26, 2021, 4:41 AM

#

it could also be that i forgot to shot off windows defender when i first upgraded.... meaning the software might have clashed

void jolt Feb 26, 2021, 4:41 AM

#

Why would you shut off defender?

#

Great antivirus

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 4:42 AM

#

having two antiviruses running at the same time can cause problems

#

i'd rather get rid of AVG than defender though

#

02shrug

uncut fjord Feb 26, 2021, 4:42 AM

#

because avg has always worked very well for me, and i have had issues with antivirus clashing

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 4:42 AM

#

either way

#

choice of antivirus is not really the point

uncut fjord Feb 26, 2021, 4:42 AM

#

you think them clashing may have been a factor?

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 4:43 AM

#

if you're dropping frames when there is a lot happening

void jolt Feb 26, 2021, 4:43 AM

#

Possibly

uncut fjord Feb 26, 2021, 4:43 AM

#

cause it hasn't done it since

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 4:43 AM

#

it could be your 6 thread cpu getting overwhelmed

#

depending on how much money you have right now

uncut fjord Feb 26, 2021, 4:44 AM

#

blah... i was hoping you weren't going to say that.... i dread the thought of replacing CPU and mobo.... i got a steal, on mine, and i'm not sure i could get a similar deal next time around

void jolt Feb 26, 2021, 4:44 AM

#

Warzone likes better CPUs

#

But wouldn’t really affect LoL

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 4:44 AM

#

an i7-9700 could be a decent stopgap if you find a good deal on one without replacing mobo

uncut fjord Feb 26, 2021, 4:44 AM

#

it's not going to be right now.... i'm just making a gameplan ahead of time

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 4:44 AM

#

9700 and 9700K have been popping up for $180-200 lately

uncut fjord Feb 26, 2021, 4:44 AM

#

yeah i see a lot of used ones, but i'm kinda sketch about buying cpu used tho

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 4:44 AM

#

you could also look at 8700K if you find a good deal

#

for a serious upgrade you'd have to get a new mobo

uncut fjord Feb 26, 2021, 4:45 AM

#

do you think it would be a worthy enough upgrade if i DO find a good deal? or would it be kind of a minor bandaid type of thing

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 4:45 AM

#

but you could definitely do a stopgap upgrade to 8th or 9th gen i7

#

it just depends on how much money you have to spend

#

those cpus should be hanging on fine until 2023

uncut fjord Feb 26, 2021, 4:46 AM

#

right now, none... like i said i'm moving right now... i'm thinking closer to october.... i start my promotion process mid-late next month if all goes well

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 4:47 AM

#

well yes i'm talking about how much you want to upgrade with when you do upgrade

#

not necessarily what you have at this minute

uncut fjord Feb 26, 2021, 4:47 AM

#

so if all goes well with that, i should be making a siginificant amount more money... i'm trying to get a good idea of what my best options are

#

but i guess come ramp season, it kinda depends on who releases what XD

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 4:47 AM

#

what cooler do you have on your cpu? the included one?

uncut fjord Feb 26, 2021, 4:48 AM

#

crap, yes.... i had actually forgottten that i couldn't find one at that time.... UGGGHHHHH i need to do that :/

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 4:49 AM

#

you will want at least a basic aftermarket cooler to make good use of any i7

uncut fjord Feb 26, 2021, 4:49 AM

#

i'm well aware that the stock fans are dookie.... i had actually planned on getting one, following the purchase of my i5... which i actually got on sale cause best buy had one returned by the customer in front of me in the geek squad... so i got a used price on one that was literally JUST sold

#

something a little more premium

uncut fjord Feb 26, 2021, 4:50 AM

#

but then again, i guess 99% of aftermarket heat sinks looks about the same

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 4:50 AM

#

there's only so much you can do to a fan strapped to a block of metal

uncut fjord Feb 26, 2021, 4:51 AM

#

ROFL fair

#

but the second one you linked, the heat sink looks very small?

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 4:53 AM

#

it's got more heatpipes

uncut fjord Feb 26, 2021, 4:53 AM

#

also i've never been able to picture how those ones with the mount on the SIDE attatch....

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 4:53 AM

#

it's a midrange offering, you can overclock most cpus on it

uncut fjord Feb 26, 2021, 4:54 AM

#

omg, does it sit sideways? not actually ON the cpu?

#

how does THAT work?!

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 4:54 AM

#

i have no idea what you're talking about

uncut fjord Feb 26, 2021, 4:54 AM

#

every one i've had, (heat sinks) have mounted flat, with the fan pointed down toward the cpu

#

tthese both look like the mounting platform is on the side

#

is that how they actually are now?

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 4:55 AM

#

like this?

uncut fjord Feb 26, 2021, 4:55 AM

#

(again, i have a generic stock cpu fan atm

#

yeah, that's how mine currently is, and every one i've ever had was

#

this looks like it's to the side

#

adjacent to the cpu

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 4:56 AM

#

#

it's just a different shape

#

it is still directly contacting the cpu

#

they are called downdraft cpu coolers

#

as opposed to the ones i showed earlier which are called tower cpu coolers

uncut fjord Feb 26, 2021, 4:56 AM

#

fair, okay... so not more or less "relevant", simply a different style?

#

neat

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 4:57 AM

#

yeah it's just a different type of cooler

#

usually used in stock coolers by both intel and AMD

uncut fjord Feb 26, 2021, 4:57 AM

#

i've been building computers for years... and i always assumed the ones you called "tower cpu coolers" were for something else, and i disregarded them LOL

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 4:57 AM

#

one of the major benefits of downdraft coolers are that it blows some air onto the board's power delivery

#

a lot of cheaper boards do not have any cooling for the power delivery

#

so the downdraft stock coolers help cool it

uncut fjord Feb 26, 2021, 4:59 AM

#

fair... it's crazy... my old gaming pc had like sub 100mm fans, as the primary... my current setup has a couple 240mm fans and there's a much bigger one on the access panel

#

(i may be misremembering the sizes, but i know they're massive compared to what i upgraded from)

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 4:59 AM

#

my current pc has 8 120mm case fans

uncut fjord Feb 26, 2021, 5:00 AM

#

i only have 3 240mm fans (again, 2XX... idr the exact number) and one that's almost the entire circumference of the access panel LOL

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 5:00 AM

#

probably 200mm

uncut fjord Feb 26, 2021, 5:00 AM

#

i also moved one of my small fans from my old pc to act as an exhaust fan

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 5:01 AM

#

i am not aware of the existence of any 240mm fans

uncut fjord Feb 26, 2021, 5:01 AM

#

idr, it's whatever came with the titan V2

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 5:01 AM

#

200mm is the most common size of the larger fans

uncut fjord Feb 26, 2021, 5:01 AM

#

thor v2*

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 5:01 AM

#

80mm, 92mm, 120mm, 140mm, 200mm are the most common

uncut fjord Feb 26, 2021, 5:02 AM

#

ah, i think it's 3 140s, and 1 200....

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 5:02 AM

#

..interesting

#

230mm fans

uncut fjord Feb 26, 2021, 5:02 AM

#

is it?

#

i genuinely don't remember....

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 5:02 AM

#

#

3 230mm fans preinstalled

uncut fjord Feb 26, 2021, 5:02 AM

#

so i wasn't too far off at all

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 5:02 AM

#

seems like a headache for upgrading

uncut fjord Feb 26, 2021, 5:03 AM

#

possibly... but it's going to be a long time before a BIG upgrade ... and if i do, i'm more than likely going to build a second pc from scratch and simply use this one as a streaming desktop

#

toss a capture card in this thing, and use it exclusively for that

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 5:03 AM

#

it's more that if you ever change case the fans can't follow

#

because no other case is going to have mounting holes for 230mm fans

#

not that big of a deal though

uncut fjord Feb 26, 2021, 5:04 AM

#

fair, but they're SURPRISINGLY quiet

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 5:04 AM

#

creates a bit more e-waste

uncut fjord Feb 26, 2021, 5:04 AM

#

like i often times forget i even have it on

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 5:04 AM

#

larger fans do not have to spin as quickly to move lots of air

#

therefore less noise

uncut fjord Feb 26, 2021, 5:04 AM

#

fair, but that's good considering i work from home LOL

#

then agian my headset is really good for noise cancelling... though i hate it cause it has that "no tangle" crap cables, that instead of tangling, just kink like a 50 year old water hose -_-..... i wish my job would allow me to have a wireless headset

#

so, to recap, for my own records/understanding... i7 would be a noticable, but not optimal upgrade, if i have the money, wait and upgrade mobo and cpu to the i9.... scrap upgrading the gpu as of right now because mine will suffice, and anything that would be an upgrade would not be cheap enough to be worth it

#

accurate?

#

and more immediately, upgrade the fan*

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 5:08 AM

#

well

#

your gpu is enough for league but could benefit from an upgrade in warzone

#

although it might be a good idea to wait for the mining boom to end

#

an i7-8700 or i7-9700 and their K variants are a decent stopgap solution to slot into your current board

uncut fjord Feb 26, 2021, 5:09 AM

#

would they be an actually NOTICABLE upgrade tho?

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 5:09 AM

#

if you wanted to a larger upgrade you could look at an i7-11700 + B560 board, i7-11700K + Z590 board, ryzen 5 5600x or ryzen 7 5800x + B550 board

uncut fjord Feb 26, 2021, 5:09 AM

#

like enough to warrent the 200$ish

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 5:09 AM

#

your average fps likely would not see a noticeable difference

#

but better lows and less frequent frame drops

uncut fjord Feb 26, 2021, 5:10 AM

#

noted, thank you

elder ingot Feb 26, 2021, 5:10 AM

#

whats a suggestion for a motherboard for 5800x & RTX 3060 Twin Edge OC combo

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 5:11 AM

#

that's a lot of cpu for not a whole lot of gpu

#

did you already buy the 5800x?

#

i would recommend getting a 5600x or 10600K instead if not

elder ingot Feb 26, 2021, 5:11 AM

#

yea still time to cancel

pale mist Feb 26, 2021, 5:11 AM

#

NO

#

if already ordered stick w it

uncut fjord Feb 26, 2021, 5:12 AM

#

i like how you say "not a lot of gpu" after we just went over my crappy 1060 😢 ya'll suck LOL

pale mist Feb 26, 2021, 5:12 AM

#

3060 is better than what most people have

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 5:12 AM

#

i don't think it makes a whole lot of sense to have a cpu that costs 50% more than your gpu

#

unless you're mostly doing cpu-bound productivity tasks

pale mist Feb 26, 2021, 5:12 AM

#

I mean true

elder ingot Feb 26, 2021, 5:12 AM

#

Okay so do I keep it since I ordered it or do I get the 5600x?

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 5:12 AM

#

i have a cpu that's one third the price of yours paired with a 3080 and not seeing any bottleneck at 1440p

pale mist Feb 26, 2021, 5:12 AM

#

Well its so hard to find them

#

Don’t cancel

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 5:13 AM

#

ryzen 5 3600x does the job

#

i was originally going to upgrade to a 5800x alongside the 3080 but found it to be unnecessary after getting the 3080 first and testing it

pale mist Feb 26, 2021, 5:13 AM

#

Maybe just sell it for only like 50$ profit you will make someone’s day and you get money

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 5:13 AM

#

nah scalping the 5800x isn't really a thing

#

the 5800x has the least demand out of the lineup

#

they are often in stock for hours on end

pale mist Feb 26, 2021, 5:14 AM

#

I know ors scalping but i mean only 50$ is good

elder ingot Feb 26, 2021, 5:14 AM

#

yea I got lucky today with the shuffle and grabbed the 3060 so I thought the 5800x would be good

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 5:14 AM

#

the 5600x, 5900x, and 5950x are the high demand ones

pale mist Feb 26, 2021, 5:14 AM

#

Scored a 5600x

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 5:14 AM

#

a 5600x or 10600K will do more than fine with the 3060

pale mist Feb 26, 2021, 5:14 AM

#

But my board is giving me major trouble

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 5:14 AM

#

even a 3600 or 10400 should do the trick

#

the 3060 is really not much better than a 2060 super

pale mist Feb 26, 2021, 5:15 AM

#

Well i am sticking to my r9 fury then

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 5:15 AM

#

anyways, to answer your original question, i'm partial to the B550 AORUS ELITE as a premium board at a midrange price

#

it will easily handle even a 5950X but only costs $150 or so

#

if you are getting a 5600X, you can get away with a lower end board if you want to save money

#

MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI is a great bang for the buck board that'll handle a 5600X as long as you don't mind the micro atx size

pale mist Feb 26, 2021, 5:17 AM

#

@stiff kraken any experience w problems updating bios on mpg b550 boards from msi?

elder ingot Feb 26, 2021, 5:17 AM

okay dually noted. Ill keep my orders for now but I will see if I can grab a 5600x

stiff kraken Feb 26, 2021, 5:18 AM

idk bout the pricing when it comes here tho i might just stay at b460m and take risk for a meh priced gpu

elfin warren Feb 26, 2021, 2:50 PM

@hoary cedar bigger ones exist because ATX can fit more pcie x4 and x1 slots, sometimes more x16 slots

hoary cedar Feb 26, 2021, 3:08 PM

#

Ah noice. That makes sense.

hollow thorn Feb 26, 2021, 3:09 PM

#

imo, mATX is ATX without the fluff

#

the mounting holes are all the same, most of the other things stay the same

#

just miss some pcie x1 and x4 slots usually

hoary cedar Feb 26, 2021, 3:09 PM

#

I've ordered them and also my new RAM, 3200MHz 2x16gb

#

The RAM was cheaper to buy from US Amazon and pay the ridiculous $20 import fees + shipping than buying in Europe lol

hardy moon Feb 26, 2021, 4:10 PM

#

Would of loved a b560 itx board to be in stock lol... I payed like 160 for some z490 ones

#

160 each vs 94 dollars oof

elfin warren Feb 26, 2021, 4:11 PM

They just came out last week I think?

Thoughts about msi b460m pro?

elfin warren Feb 26, 2021, 4:37 PM

Ok then

elfin warren Feb 26, 2021, 4:37 PM

#

i3/i5 on B460 is 2666 mhz

Get a board with Bios Flashback

Most of the B550 boards have it

My RAM usage when doing nothing with my PC has been higher than I'd like it lately, any ideas for how to maybe make it better? (and I know a "just download more RAM" joke is inevitable so just get it out of your system if you must)

elfin warren Feb 26, 2021, 5:18 PM

#

Define higher than you'd like

#

Also, you have RAM for a reason. What's the point in having it if you're not going to use it?

bleak cedar Feb 26, 2021, 5:19 PM

#

I've got 16 gigs and it sits at 30% even with the highest user being discord at 200MBs ish

#

The point is that when I do try to do something everything gets laggy and slow because my RAM usage goes to 90%+

#

And it only started happening lately

#

Without me doing anything special

elfin warren Feb 26, 2021, 5:20 PM

#

What do you fire up that uses that much ram?

bleak cedar Feb 26, 2021, 5:21 PM

#

Lately it's been DCS World (combat flight sim in case you don't know it) but I bet it'll be the same with MSFS2020

#

I know those are extremely demanding

elfin warren Feb 26, 2021, 5:21 PM

#

Oh yeah, those are absolute ram eaters

bleak cedar Feb 26, 2021, 5:21 PM

#

But it wasn't like that 2 or even one week ago

elfin warren Feb 26, 2021, 5:21 PM

#

Any flight sim is

bleak cedar Feb 26, 2021, 5:21 PM

#

Yeah

#

But still it has gotten worse lately

#

And I have no idea why

elfin warren Feb 26, 2021, 5:22 PM

#

do you leave Discord and other things running while gaming?

bleak cedar Feb 26, 2021, 5:24 PM

#

I try to close whatever I don't need like Chrome which obviously is a RAM eater of itself but yeah I keep discord as I need it to chat with whoever I play with

elfin warren Feb 26, 2021, 5:24 PM

#

I would grab something like MSI afterburner and enable the On Screen Display

bleak cedar Feb 26, 2021, 5:24 PM

#

And other essentials like Steam if I'm playing a Steam game

elfin warren Feb 26, 2021, 5:24 PM

#

Keep tabs on CPU and GPU useage and also RAM useage

#

It might not be ram, might be CPU or GPU getting maxed out

#

Possibly even VRAM

#

If your card has 6GB VRAM say, and the on screen display is maxing it out, might be your issue and you need to turn down some settings for example

bleak cedar Feb 26, 2021, 5:26 PM

#

My CPU doesn't go above 20%-30%, my GPU is definitely not that great but to me it just seems like RAM because it's the worst during loading screens and when all the initial textures load in

#

And also my RAM usage goes all the way to 90%+

elfin warren Feb 26, 2021, 5:26 PM

#

Ah, we on to something

#

Check GPU core use and VRAM use

#

I would harbor a guess it's not system ram but rather GPU VRAM that's causing stutters and poor performance.

bleak cedar Feb 26, 2021, 5:27 PM

#

I've got a 970 with its famous 3.5+0.5 gigs

elfin warren Feb 26, 2021, 5:27 PM

#

1080p?

bleak cedar Feb 26, 2021, 5:27 PM

#

Yeah

elfin warren Feb 26, 2021, 5:27 PM

#

With a lot of settings turned on?

bleak cedar Feb 26, 2021, 5:27 PM

#

Medium settings pretty much

#

My FPS isn't too bad

#

And what's the weirdest to me is that it only gotten worse in the past week

#

Before that I can't recall anything like that

#

At least not as bad

elfin warren Feb 26, 2021, 5:28 PM

#

Recommend using MSI Afterburner On Screen Display for GPU, CPU use and Ram/VRAM use as well as temperatures

#

I have a 970 in my wifes PC and replaced the thermal paste the other day due to age

#

I also checked the Steam page for DCS

#

Recommended LOW SETTINGS: GTX1070

bleak cedar Feb 26, 2021, 5:29 PM

#

I don't think that's right

elfin warren Feb 26, 2021, 5:29 PM

#

SO check the OSD for useage and try lowering a few settings here and there

#

"MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS (LOW graphics preset settings): OS 64-bit Windows 8/10; DirectX11; CPU: Core i5+ at 3+ GHz or AMD FX / Ryzen; RAM: 16 GB (32 GB for heavy missions); Free hard disk space: 120 GB on Solid State Drive (SSD); Discrete video card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 / AMD Radeon RX VEGA 56 with 8GB VRAM or better; Joystick; requires internet activation."

bleak cedar Feb 26, 2021, 5:30 PM

elfin warren Feb 26, 2021, 5:31 PM

Yes, GPU market is bad

Yeah, I think there's some graphical updates going on, maybe you solved the mystery

elfin warren Feb 26, 2021, 5:32 PM

I hope so but at the same time I don't due to GPU market lol

#

Lowering all the settings to LOW should reveal an answer if performance increases

bleak cedar Feb 26, 2021, 5:32 PM

elfin warren But try turning some things down a little more and checking system stats in an o...

elfin warren Feb 26, 2021, 5:33 PM

bleak cedar Feb 26, 2021, 5:33 PM

#

elfin warren Lowering all the settings to LOW should reveal an answer if performance increase...

So if I lower everything to low and it still happens it's not a GPU thing?

elfin warren Feb 26, 2021, 5:33 PM

It's a BEAUTIFUL game but resource hungry

bleak cedar Feb 26, 2021, 5:33 PM

Yeah, but I've honestly only been on DCS lately

elfin warren Feb 26, 2021, 5:33 PM

#

bleak cedar So if I lower everything to low and it still happens it's not a GPU thing?

Use an OSD like from MSI afterburner and see where things are at

bleak cedar Feb 26, 2021, 5:33 PM

#

Alrighty

#

Thanks! I hope I can figure this out

elfin warren Feb 26, 2021, 5:33 PM

#

Like, if CPU is 30% and GPU is 100%, most likely GPU

bleak cedar Feb 26, 2021, 5:34 PM

#

Well yeah GPU is definitely at 100%

elfin warren Feb 26, 2021, 5:34 PM

#

Yeah

bleak cedar Feb 26, 2021, 5:34 PM

#

But also RAM

elfin warren Feb 26, 2021, 5:34 PM

#

RAM is meant to be used

bleak cedar Feb 26, 2021, 5:34 PM

#

Yeah I guess

elfin warren Feb 26, 2021, 5:34 PM

I really don't think this is a RAM issue

bleak cedar Feb 26, 2021, 5:34 PM

#

Alright

elfin warren Feb 26, 2021, 5:34 PM

#

With low CPU use and GPU at 100%, it's just the GPU struggling

bleak cedar Feb 26, 2021, 5:35 PM

Yeah, well, I guess I'll have to go into our sad sad GPU market soon and see what I can get

elfin warren Feb 26, 2021, 5:38 PM

#

Don't overpay

bleak cedar Feb 26, 2021, 5:40 PM

#

Yeah obviously I don't want to but where I live they're actually in stock but official retailers sell them for 2x-3x the MSRP

#

And it could easily keep going throughout the entire year

elfin warren Feb 26, 2021, 5:41 PM

Hey guys! Quick question...
Sooo I ordered the Seagate FireCuda 520 M.2 for my new build.
However, the MB I wanted was out of stock everywhere when I ordered, so I substituted for a different one..however, in my negligence I forgot to check the PICe gen on the new board. It's only a Gen3.
Is it worth it to even have the FireCuda? I cant seem to find much of anything on how it runs in a Gen3 port..Im just trying to see if its worth returning (its not even out of its shipping box yet) and getting a Gen3 M.2 or just using the FireCuda anyways.

rocky beacon Feb 27, 2021, 12:18 AM

#

Not even a good SSD for the price anyways

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 12:18 AM

#

I mean, you paid for Gen 4

#

I'd return the drive and get something a little cheaper

#

Because honestly, right now, Gen 4 drives are overpriced and I'll guarantee you won't see a difference in every day use between gen 3 and 4

rocky beacon Feb 27, 2021, 12:20 AM

Only difference is if you are editing large 4K+ footage

magic cedar Feb 27, 2021, 1:24 AM

#

void jolt Feb 27, 2021, 1:24 AM

#

magic cedar dont you?

his bios already supports the CPU, he is just trying to update it

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:25 AM

#

It's fine, leave it alone lol

magic cedar Feb 27, 2021, 1:25 AM

#

ohh

#

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:25 AM

#

No, it doesn't support it

#

B550/Ryzen 5000

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:25 AM

#

It’s a b550 with 5900x

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:25 AM

#

Yeah, needs update

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:25 AM

#

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:25 AM

#

No post

#

Everything works

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:25 AM

#

B550 with a Ryzen 59000x

#

Just lights and fans come on

magic cedar Feb 27, 2021, 1:25 AM

#

so you can leave the cpu in all the time when flashing bios?

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:25 AM

#

Needs a BIOS update for CPU

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:25 AM

#

Ram works gpu works, aio works

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:25 AM

#

magic cedar so you can leave the cpu in all the time when flashing bios?

Yes

magic cedar Feb 27, 2021, 1:25 AM

#

ohh

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:26 AM

#

Just lights up

magic cedar Feb 27, 2021, 1:26 AM

#

k

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:26 AM

#

Doesn't mean it's working lol

magic cedar Feb 27, 2021, 1:26 AM

#

makes life easier

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:26 AM

#

Indeed!

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:26 AM

#

And I won’t shock the cpu?

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:26 AM

#

I thought it had to be out also until I looked into it more

magic cedar Feb 27, 2021, 1:26 AM

#

well it’s probably better to have it out

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:26 AM

#

Racer?

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:26 AM

#

Doesn't really matter TBH. If you push the BIOS FLASH button it doesn't boot anything but the chip

#

*BIOS chip

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:27 AM

#

Do I hold and push or just push

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:27 AM

#

Watch video

#

Just push

#

It's gotta be the WHITE usb port also

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:28 AM

#

ok on laptop rn

#

i only got black red

#

red 3.0 i think

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:28 AM

#

hmmmm

#

lemme check then

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:28 AM

#

vid i watched, not the one you said, just said plug usb right next to hdmi and flash button

#

so i was like ok

#

but faulty usb -_-

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:29 AM

#

Ah

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:29 AM

#

so i talked to my friend and he said just put everything together

#

no need for update

#

and i was like fine

magic cedar Feb 27, 2021, 1:29 AM

#

isnt there a usb port that says “bios” on it

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:29 AM

#

and BOOM

#

here i am

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:30 AM

#

Ok, reading a bit more

#

you need to rename the .bin file to gigabyte.bin

#

after you unzip it

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:30 AM

#

ok

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:31 AM

#

SO a file like this B550AEV2.11i

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:31 AM

#

and only drag that letter named file onto the usb drive

#

yea that one

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:31 AM

#

rename to gigabyte.bin

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:31 AM

#

and then copy it to usb

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:31 AM

#

yes

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:31 AM

#

then plug usb into mobo

#

and flash?

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:31 AM

#

There SHOULD be a USB port labeled QFLASH+

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:31 AM

#

ok

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:32 AM

#

or BIOS

#

It'll be like, BIOS USB 3.0

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:33 AM

#

so confirming no need for cpu to be taken out

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:33 AM

#

Nope

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:33 AM

#

and it wont zap my part, or any parts

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:33 AM

#

make sure PC is off

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:33 AM

#

right?

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:33 AM

#

Insert USB into the right port

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:33 AM

#

psu on or off?

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:33 AM

#

Push QFLASH button and wait

#

As long as PC is off, PSU doesn't matter

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:34 AM

#

wait can you confirm it wont zap my parts right?

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:34 AM

#

I wouldn't tell you to do it if it would zap your parts

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:34 AM

#

LMFAO

#

magic cedar Feb 27, 2021, 1:34 AM

#

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:34 AM

#

#

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:38 AM

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:42 AM

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:42 AM

#

#

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:46 AM

#

Good luck getting old Windows install to boot

#

ON new hardware

devout mothBOT Feb 27, 2021, 1:47 AM

#

русский стандарт#3080 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:47 AM

#

Oh cmon

#

What do i do

void jolt Feb 27, 2021, 1:47 AM

#

bad word

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:47 AM

#

Mmmm

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:47 AM

#

I wrote s word

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:47 AM

#

There's a good chance it won't boot, small chance it will

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:47 AM

#

And what do I do if it won’t

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:47 AM

#

Best thing to do is a clean windows install

#

Do you still have the key?

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:47 AM

#

😳

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:47 AM

#

Activation key?

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:47 AM

#

Idk tbh

#

How do I check that

#

Cause this drive for Windows download from my hdd

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:48 AM

#

Well, there's a couple of things you should have done

void jolt Feb 27, 2021, 1:48 AM

#

did you connect your email to windows?

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:48 AM

#

Like, register Windows 10 to an email account

#

So you just log in and boom, activated

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:49 AM

#

It says missing operating system 😂

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:49 AM

#

Uh huh

#

So you need a Windows 10 key if you can't find the old one

#

Or put the old machine back together and do a few steps

void jolt Feb 27, 2021, 1:49 AM

#

reddit hardware swap has some, i believe

#

for cheap

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:49 AM

#

Oh wait

#

Can I get key from my laptop

#

And wait do I need to basically wipe my nvme of all info

void jolt Feb 27, 2021, 1:50 AM

#

connect your email and yeah

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:50 AM

#

Yeah if you want that one to deactivate

#

Hmmm

#

I wonder if a repair install will work?

#

That can get complicated tho

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:51 AM

#

Ok so what do I do with my current situation

void jolt Feb 27, 2021, 1:51 AM

#

I would just reinstall

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:51 AM

#

Can some get in call and lead me through this pls

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:51 AM

#

That's the best option but it means wiping everything

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:51 AM

#

void jolt I would just reinstall

So I need to boot my old computer?

void jolt Feb 27, 2021, 1:51 AM

#

crimson bison Can some get in call and lead me through this pls

I would but i cant talk

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:52 AM

#

Do I need to boot my old computer

#

WAIT

#

Can I get windows on a usb and then just download it like that????

void jolt Feb 27, 2021, 1:52 AM

#

yes

#

thats how that works

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:52 AM

#

Yes but you'll need to activate it

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:52 AM

#

Any other option?

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:53 AM

#

Not really

#

Completely new hardware needs a new install

#

New MB, CPU, etc

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:53 AM

#

Bruh that means I have to reinstall every single game

#

STRESS TEST CPU MWHAHAAHA 😂

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:54 AM

#

elfin warren Completely new hardware needs a new install

Ok so drivers on mobo I also need i assume

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:54 AM

#

Yes

marble knot Feb 27, 2021, 1:54 AM

#

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:54 AM

#

Get those from the Gigabyte site

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:54 AM

#

I rlly need someone to get in call with me and show me how to do this

#

I am rlly confused 😂

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:54 AM

#

marble knot vintage i put new mobos/cpus/gpus in my system all the time and i ahve no issues

This depends ENTIRELY on your old system

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:54 AM

#

And amd drivers?

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:54 AM

#

His can't even find a boot drive

marble knot Feb 27, 2021, 1:55 AM

#

oof

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:55 AM

#

It's probably becuase old os was MBR

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:55 AM

#

Should I try and unplug my sata???

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:55 AM

#

New hardware needs GPT for UEFI

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:55 AM

#

And keep nvme which has my boot

marble knot Feb 27, 2021, 1:55 AM

#

maybe fro mswaping amd to intel u need fres install

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:55 AM

#

And there was absolutely no prep done before hand like driver uninstalls

marble knot Feb 27, 2021, 1:55 AM

#

oh

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:55 AM

#

Oh no but that means I lose all my files

#

Ummm

#

Likes pictures and stuff

marble knot Feb 27, 2021, 1:56 AM

#

just redo windows

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:56 AM

#

Yeah, new hardware kinda needs to be thought through

#

Like, backups and stuff

#

:/

marble knot Feb 27, 2021, 1:56 AM

#

tell it to keep ur data

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:56 AM

#

:/

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:56 AM

#

marble knot tell it to keep ur data

Not funny

marble knot Feb 27, 2021, 1:56 AM

#

do u have any extra hdds/ssds?

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:56 AM

#

Yea, external hdd

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:56 AM

#

All his important stuff is on an NVME

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:56 AM

#

And a sata

marble knot Feb 27, 2021, 1:56 AM

#

so clone ur drive

#

then redo 1

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:56 AM

#

But that’s sata also has things on it

marble knot Feb 27, 2021, 1:56 AM

#

and then tranfer personal data back

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:57 AM

#

HUH

#

How tf do I do that

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:57 AM

#

That's not possible without rebuilding the old computer lol

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:57 AM

#

I’m a true idiot

elfin warren Feb 27, 2021, 1:57 AM

#

or an external drive

crimson bison Feb 27, 2021, 1:57 AM

#

Old computer just needs my nvme
