Use hwinfo
Or msi afterburner
Yeah
Make sure that's not temps as well
It's not temps are like 70 c all around
Ahh okay
last crash had cpu at 76C i flipped my liquid cooling to guarantee no air in the pipes, and i added thermal paste just to be sure.
76c on cpu is fine
ive already updated the drivers and uninstalled and reinstalled them for this gpu trying to fix the gpu error
but i still crashed. so ijust did this
i also went in bios and set the ram voltage to .001 higher than the default.
it was on auto, so i set it to manual
someone online had a similar issue and that fixed it for them
but it did not for me. i crashed again
also i had the HWinfo64 on my second monitor when i crashed, i turned off auto restart pc on crash, and on the monitor it did not say YES for any of the maximums for core thermal throttling or critical temp or power limit
Yeah that wasn't a solution either... Just crashed again in a league game... PC remains running but the screen goes black. I only hear audio for like a second tho.
download and run whocrashed
Ahh
Download ddu and go into safe mode
@severe pivot did you boot into safe mode first?
Yes
okay cleaned it out. my second monitor is just black now
should i just geforce experience install the drivers back?
what is uma frame buffer size?
Yeah, restart back into normal and geforece experience install
Yes once done with ddu you can stay in regular yeah
i did express install last time
this time im gonna do custom
to see if it helps for whatever reason
time to go limit test in game
I have my 12600k and z690 a pro! I just need to request a lga 1700 mounting bracket from be quiet now
Anyone know how long that going to take to get in?
Any idea if the 12th gen i5 or i7 would stay cool with a stock cooler or should i buy a liquid cooler for it?
Also would i be asking too early for the information seeing as its so new?
depends i guess
k chips dont even come with stock coolers but lmao nooooooooooooooooooooo
Does the i7 even come with a stock cooler?
Which is an older and cooler i5
Yeah
12600k you could get away with a peerless assasin 120
but id go with arctic liquid freezer ii/ek rgb/lian li galahad
Does the liquid freezer support the bracket? That wouldve been what id go with
yep
Alright cool
nvm peerless assasin doesnt have the new bracket yet :/
the cheapest id go for 12th gen cooling so far https://pcpartpicker.com/product/F3gzK8/be-quiet-dark-rock-pro-4-505-cfm-cpu-cooler-bk022
your i5 you have right now is good for streaming
because you use your 2080 super
I think I’ll still go with the liquid freezer
Yeah i was wanting to upgrade though since i tend to stream games like COD which my computer does have some issues with when streaming
but you do have nvenc as the encoder yeah?
Yeah
then cpu doesnt matter lol
ye your 9400f is def bottlenecking your 2080 super a bit
for gaming and some streaming, not imo
Alright I’ll just go with the i5 then thanks
yw
I could definitely go with the i7 i just dont want to spend too much money on the upgrade lol
yeah id definitely go i5 then
Thats $655 for the i5, a motherboard, and the liquid cooler
Yeah
I went with the MSI Z690 -A PRO that uses DDR4 memory
I have the Z390 version and liked it
its nice board
Yeah
I have 4x8GB DDR4 which is why i dont want to get DDR5 since thats a lot more as well…
I also went screw it, got the ddr4 version to transfer my 4x8gb of ram
that should be fine yeah
Yeah
Micro center?
Oof im not even getting $20 off XD
Yep, microcenter denver
Ahh fair
damn, that's a cheap ass board
Im not sure if I’ll buy from Microcenter or Newegg
It was $40 cheaper than on Newegg, best buy and Amazon
Pretty happy with it
I might have to look at mine then
$20 cheaper then $20 off because I bought CPU + mobo
It's fine although gigab ud would be better yeah
I already got things like the MSI thunderbolt card and stuff
This is what I’ll be getting
For my z370 a pro board
giga elite ddr4 would have been 👌
I'd get gigabyte ud instead
Also whats ud
Fits that a 300$ board
Literally never heard the term before now lol
ultra durable, its like the tuf line for asus
A board
We're looking at sub $230 boards
Alright
Oh btw
Mines the wifi version of the board, doesn't really distinguish it on the receipt
Its $220 at the Denver microcenter
Gigabyte ud ddr4 is 200, ddr5 is like 220
Not bad at all
Still the most expensive motherboard I've ever bought
My z370 a pro was $80
(refurbished from MSI)
Mine was $120
Waiting for my dark rock 4 lga 1700 mounting bracket is going to be torture
I have the CPU and ram ready
So also most expensive for whatever i get lol
Im going to buy my motherbord and cooler first then buy the CPU last
Mines $110
Not buying a new one when I can wait a week for a mounting kit
Would i need to get a bracket for the arctic cooler or does it already have one for it? I saw it saying that you need to contact suppurt
Support*
the more vrm, mem speed and pcie gen that marketing pushes, the more expensive boards are going to get
remember the pcie 4 price hike for x570?
Its a 60 watt increase lol
If I have 8x2 CPU, can I just use 8?
Like for CPU pins
I think I only have 8 pins
On my PSU
For CPU power
Should support out of box now
I can't really afford a new PSU
If I just populate CPU power 1 will that be fine for a 12600k?
So I just checked I’ll be fine about PSU power
I'm trying to make sure we don't need 16 pin CPU power Luna lol
Oh
Look at the board
It has 16 pin CPU power but they're split into 2. 12600k shouldn't need both I don't think
Isnt that only for overclocking though?
I think it's for the power hungry 12900k
And is it msi? Does it work with only 1 populated?
It has one 6 slot only which is not populated
I guess I've never used a board with more than 8 pins
Though also my CPU isnt a K…
My board supports 9900k with only 8 pins
Interesting
I love how all of us with 6 threads went "nope, new CPU time"
My 6c/t 8600k is feeling it. Especially for a code compile
At least it's running at 5.2ghz
Also something that was kinda interesting was when i first built my PC i took it to microcenter to get my PC fixed after screwing it up and they said they had never seen the 6 pin connector before
I have an MSI thunderbolt card and was worried the thunderbolt pins would be different
Yeah tbh I've never seen a 6 pin CPU connector before
Ive seen 4 though
I dont know what id even use thunderbolt for
My old i5 6400 system (my sister has it now with a 2gb 1050) had only 4 pin CPU power
each 8 pin will handle ~400w, so unless your 12600k is going to be pulling 400w for extended periods of time, you wont need the 2nd 8 pin
Its intended for overclocking
and now you're understanding marketing teams
Can you even reach 400 on a 12900k without frying the thing??
So if i were to not even use the power connector would it be fine if not overclocking?
You can overclock a 12600k on 400 watts
On 12900k probs
2 8 pins are better than 1 8 pin - Marketing department
I was just worried since some cpus that only require 4 pins won't boot without 8
Was worries this was like thag
Like my i5 6400 is in a 4 pin motherboard
Which supports 200 watts apparently
But if I put it in an 8 pin I don't think it'll boot with only 4 pins
there's no pin detection on motherboards, so no idea why that would be a thing
So would this be fine?
You need some CPU power in at least
I also have a 6500T system running an mc server 24/7 and it only has a 4 pin as well. But that cpu has max power pull of 35 watts
You're using one rn
You have to be
Did not seem to work. Continued crashes
I’ll see
How many pins is your motherboard power
24 i think
Wait would CPU power be 4 of those pins? I have 6 pins right next to the CPU which are not occupied
OEM boards like to hide power pins
Can you show us a picture?
Im not home atm and wont be till tomorrow
Its my dads day
And my PC is at my moms
Some OEM boards with OEM power supplies will have either 12 volt conversion or extra pins in the motherboard connector sometimes.
But yours seems to be standard board
Mines a MSI Z390 -A PRO
yes I know, I see it quite often
I've seen a 12 volt conversion on a Dell board
Literally has 10 pins going into board. No other power cables from PSU
The sata power came from ports on the motherboard
The GPU didn't need pcie power since it was 1650
And there was no CPU power
Really really weird system
most likely referencing gamers nexus video right? The 12vo systems I see also use 12v for the cd/dvd reader and other in case rgb
Nah, my mom bought it as a birthday present for one of my cousins
The computer didn't work when we got it
The 10 pin was loose
I looked through it intrigued. Motherboard cables did sata power to the DVD drive and the HDD, didn't come from the PSU. No CPU power.
It was an i3 10100 system
the 12vo systems I've seen always had more than the "main" cable
This one didn't. The other cables came from pinned headers on the motherboard
Like it has 2 sata power headers that you plug into the motherboard
Is having a CPU pinned at 95 degrees for 4 hours bad for it?
Is it a laptop or desktop cpu?
if its not overclocked, its perfectly fine
it'll throttle clocks and voltage to remain safe
I looked at my PSU it has a 4 pin connector not 6 pin for CPU power
Ah, only 4 pin? Is it a 4+4 with only 4 plugged in?
No harm will happen to cpu if no oc, cuz throttle
Sounds like just 4+4 pin
Those two combine to become 8 pins, you'll be fine then
We you get your z690 board just plug it all into CPU power 1
Alright
You have an OEM system rn?
Laptop
Nope i built mine
I have a really hot laptop too
getting a laptop cooling pad stopped it from thermal throttling nearly as much
and I only got like a 15$ pad
the nicer ones are probably a lot more effective
laptop cpus are desinged to run that hot, you could probably undervolt it a bit tho
I can't on my HP laptop either
I turned off turbo boost for awhile which from what I recall dropped the temps and power usage quite a bit
but eventually I decided performance was preferable over low temps
High recommend a laptop cooling pad
Intel xtu? Throttlestop doesn't work?
Go it's 3am dummg
Goo
NVM im rekt I forgor a few chores
Nah, I have a h series CPU so I can't adjust voltages or clocks
I don't think that's a h cpu thing
I have tried xtu, throttle stop, quickcpu
Shame
Hi. I'm new to this discord. Is this the section where I can get some help with upgrading some parts of my pc that are compatible with my current graphics card?
Sure, what's your budget and what do you have already?
also intel disabled undervolting
my budget is yet to be decided mainly because we are trying to upgrade my motherboard and processor. I currently have a GeForce RTX 2060S 8G Evo V2. I have a i7 9th gen.
That's still a great cpu, i assume you're gaming?
yeah
I would actually try and upgrade your gpu first
I broke my pc when I got mad at a game so I have to replace my motherboard no matter what. my graphics card did not get damaged though
How did you break your motherboard while raging??
im taking it apart and putting it back together in a new case
i slammed the case on that side. its a bit more than ragging though I have brain damage and ptsd from the army so its different
Ahh
yeah but since im upgrading that the wife has given me permission to upgrade a few things so
what would you recommend for a gpu and cpu?
Honestly I'd keep the cpu but gpu depends on your budget
i have a couple hundred to spend
Like 300? Including the motherboard?
If you sell your 2060 super, for like 600ish then get a 3060 ti/3070/67000xt/6800 for like 500-900
3060 ti's go for about 1200 where i live :(
Shame but that's probs ebay pricing
do you have a suggestion for another step up motherboard?
nah that's just gaming tech in australia prices
i think i got it.....
my mobo supports 2 cpu cables. and ihad one plugged in, and didnt know exactly what the other was for. when i googled it said it was not needed. but after i plugged it in i havent crashed yet
A 2nd 8 pin? No, a 2nd 4 pin yes definitely
so i only needed 8 and 4
Nah you only need 8 pin
wack. does that sound like the power supply issue you thought before?
well ihad an 8
and it kept crashing
now that i have both in there. i havent yet...
@severe pivot
What power supply?
1000w
What 1000w
oh lemme see
And what cpu and gpu
CORSAIR HX Series HX1200
1200w actually my mistake
Windows version: Windows 10, 10.0, version 2009, build: 19043
Windows dir: C:\Windows
Hardware: ASUS, ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC., PRIME Z490-A
CPU: GenuineIntel 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11700K @ 3.60GHz 8664, level: 6
16 logical processors, active mask: 65535
RAM: 34223710208 bytes (31.9GB)
That's a great psu
yeah i wanted to make sure i got a good one
So i don't think you've got a problem unless it's faulty
I mean you could swap the 8 pin you had plugged in and maybe it was a wonky cable but idk
true. if i crash again thats my next choice
i also
ddu
my pc again
and then i installed driver directly thru driver install
whats your opinion on this motherboard? will it work? https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-Z390-AORUS-PRO-Motherboard/dp/B07HRZKPXM/ref=psdc_1048424_t1_B07HMG1XP7
or can you give another suggestion on a better one?
Decent but way too much money
thank you
Np
3600mhz c18 or 3200 mhz c16?
If ryzen, preferably neither
it will support the graphics card once i upgrade it right? (i have bad anxiety too so i have to triple check everything)
Yep basically any cpu/mobo in the past 15 years will support any gpu from the past 15 years
ok thank you
You could put a rtx 3090 in s system with an i5 960 (first gen)
Not that I recommend that
Dont have the link pulled up but its corsair vengeance 3600mhz and c18 vs 3200mhz and c16. its gonna be with a 5800x
Neither for a 5800X. Latency is high so games will stutter.
do you have any recommended ram? rgb is preferred
16gb?
either 16 or 32 yeah
with the microcenter sale i have a spare 100 in my budget now so i can afford 32 in my build
not sure if 32 is overkill or not for primarily gaming w
Non rgb, also comes in white and red
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/2TFKHx/crucial-ballistix-16-gb-2-x-8-gb-ddr4-3600-memory-bl2k8g36c16u4b
32gb is overkill for anything less than Microsoft flight sim near max settings
gotcha
and how do i tell the difference between these timings? are some c16s different from others?
cl16* my b
It's more than just cas latency, it's the other primary timings too. The ones I'm recommending are 16-18-18 while the ones you asked about before are 18-22-22
ah theres a bunch of timings
sweet ill aim for the rgb one you linked, thanks for the help
Ugh be quiet hasn't even responded to my request for new mounting bracket yet 
Oof
So would i need to buy a new PSU for the i5-12600k since i only have a 4+4 pin connector for CPU power?
Odd to ask here, but is NewEgg the only place selling DDR5 in the US? I've not seen it anywhere else
Every other major retailer will be selling it
will be, eventually. But currently?
I crashed again.... What solution do u want me to do next?
Corsair is selling their DDR5 on their website
nod Generally speaking, I imagine it's not gonna be easy to get RAM for a bit
Man. I've got every component coming this week...except for RAM.
If 4x8 ram is "daisy-chained" why does it get more FPS than 2x16?
sure they were the same speeds and timings?
No and no. Daisy vs t-top are types of mobo trace layouts. 8GB sticks are usually single rank, 16 usually dual, but not always.
There are certain use cases that benefit from > 1 rank per channel given identical clocks/timings, yes.
That's really what all those "2x8 vs 4x8" videos are about
I saw an article saying 4x8 ram could get you a few more FPS and went to some youtube vids on it and 4x8 does seem to be slightly higher in the 1% low. Within what could probably be considered a margin of error probably but when it's consistent across different titles is it?
Watch a gamersnexus video on it
can someone tell me a good cpu pairing for a 1660s
3600x/3700x/5600x and 10600k/10700k/11600k/11700k
drop the x on 3600 though unless its cheaper
3600 non x has god awful stock boosting, I would not recommend it
3600x is the more expensive than a 5600x on newegg. so unless you buy used or at microcenter, it ain't worth it
For someone asking a question like that - I'd just give a single recommendation or two depending on what the current best deal is
sorry, prices were wrong, on newegg a 3600X is 280$, a 5600X is 309$
at Microcenter, 3600x might not even be in stock and a 5600x is 280$
Don't waste that extra 50$ on the 3600X for "extra boost speed"
thats not the X
yeah, I was getting prices then you posted them
That extra money is wasted when you could either invest more in your GPU or Storage. or simply just a better CPU in general instead of just worrying about the boost clocks 😛
better yet get newer cpu at same price
to each their own, they have a ballpark of what cpus would be best
Thats what my "or" is referring to lol
This can happen with single rank sticks, happens to me
I have 4 single rank sticks
They act like 2 dual rank sticks in dual channel when I use all 4
Also today at microcenter, they literally had like 80 5800x when I got there on sale for $299 and when I left 30 minutes later the shelf was half empty
Everyone was buying a 5800x today
deal was too good
Legit I got worried about the line this morning
there was like 60 people waiting in line
a few went for gpus but everyone went for the 5800k...
left the alder lake cpus for the most part
someone else was talking to me laughing about grabbing a 12700k and being the only one
Also I've seen no one buy a ddr5 board irl for an alderlake chip
When I get my mounting kit and stuff, I'm going to see how the cpu performs ecore only.
I think it's going to be interesting having no pcores enabled
I picked up a 12900K and GIGABYTE Z690 AORUS MASTER. Snagged a be quiet! 280mm cooler and a Dark Base 900 for a case.
Still trying to track down RAM. Just can't catch it in stock thus far.
I'm using ddr4... I have no cooler since my dark rock 4 cooler needs the mounting kit
and bequiet hasn't even accepted my inquiry yet for getting a new 1700 mounting kit
wondering if I should buy a cheap cooler to hold me over LOL
12900k do be popular huh
It's not a good value at all lel
Cause 12700k does the same things as it does as well ngl
12600K would be best value outta all
12600k competing with the 5800X basically
the e-cores really helps
Definitely
intel manages to make it cheaper than 5800x
From what I saw the 12400 should be phenomenal too
and technically has more cores
But need to run windows 11 to get that power out of it tho
12400 lacks e-cores but
I expect it to get 5600x perf
lol no
You don't actually need it
Win 11 gives you less perf actually, funny enough
Not really, I've seen reviewers bench both and win10 often is better
^
W11 atm is even bleh for adl
All promises Intel bluffed about amounts to nothing
So what about the proper e core p core power distribution that was prioritized in win 11 or was that to show it was integrated in the os
There's a few bugs like certain games crashing on launch but you can disable the e-cores and they run
no ones really sure what is the cause of what yet, as everything this generation is practically beta
^
so everyones pointing fingers at hardware / software / OS / drivers
but nothing's pollished yet lol
Yeah literally everything is new at this point
Intel engineers are hopeful. I talked to one at a best buy drop. They should have samples out to game devs by now.
nice
Why I'm so interested in the arc stuff is cause they're gonna come to laptops too lel
The hardware was basically done and it was the drivers they were working on then.
Also ofc the rdna2 stuff in 6000 mobile
They had a list of games they could launch internally
RDNA2 is going to be great once they hit the market
even early leaks says it's better than mx350
I feel like steam deck is a preview and the best is yet to come
yeah
5800x is now selling for $300 at microcenter, pretty telling
well yeah
it's really sayin something
im sure 5600x will be dumped in price once 12400 comes ngl
Did you have all the pins in? And what does whocrashed say?
Same thing. All 12 pins in
It's very odd, what is your ram running at btw?
What so you mean?
Like what ram do you have? And what are you running it at
Just incase it's more ram error kinda thing, unlikely but yeah
Does anyone here think upgrading to ddr5 worth it. I have a Ryzen 7 5800x paired with RX 6700 XT in ddr4 32GB 3200Mhz
I mean you will have to buy a new cpu and a new motherboard if you wanna upgrade to ddr5 and u wont really get much improvement out of it
If you want faster ram get a 32gb kit of 3600c16 crucial ballistix
Oh so DDR5 is going through what DDR4 went when it released? Where you can wait until is actually worth upgrading
Reason: Bad word usage
Reason: Too many infractions
Not for a good few years
Yes but also 12th gen only ddr5 platform so far, jump aint worth it
Yea I was thinking that to cause I already have the 5800x which is very fast cpu
I see
Z690 boards spensive too
There are boards with DDR4
But perf is murdered
Soooo
Might as well stay with ryzen or 10/11th gen Intel if one already has that stuff
Or heck ryzen is better value cause of ddr4 and b550
Compared to alder lake ofc
not that badly from testing so far
I did see 1% and 0.1% lows in games take a somewhat steep drop tho
Not enough to be stuttering, but you definitely lose some smoothness
Perhaps saying "murdered" was an overstatement lel
Yeah but still cheapest board for 12th gen is 200$ atm
Alright
Far cry saw the biggest drop in derbaurs testing of like 8% or so on 3600 16 16 16 36
But rest weren't that much
Do you think there may be cheaper DDR5 models out by next month? Maybe I’ll look into getting DDR5 if it is
Nope
Alright
Give it a year or so
Alright
Guess for now then I’ll just deal with that since it doesnt sound like itd be too bad of a performance drop
Still need tunes testing, but anandtech testing at jedec showed near 0 difference in most games
And again far cry being an outlier with like 10% difference
Would it effect COD or VR much you think? Thats the main reason im even considering upgrading
Need more testing
Alright
Pricing for the 12400
Pretty great
Eh 10th gen intel supports ddr3. Doesnt mean its a good idea
Sounds about right based of the past x400(f) pricing tbf
What?
Look ark.intel
Everything except i9s support ddr3
Multiple 10th gen laptops use ddr3
Yeah
That's wack
CORSAIR Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB (4 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 DRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model CMW32GX4M4C3200C16W
I'm running it at 1.206v rn
Another notable thing. I under locked GPU by 50. Then I did not crash in a 3 hour play session in Halo.
quick reference guide including specifications, features, pricing, compatibility, design documentation, ordering codes, spec codes and more.
Pato
Look mem specs
Why are you running it at 1.2v? I'd clear cmos and turn on xmp and save and exit
I belieb it's just dummy
No its actually used
Still dummy
You can actually find 10th gen ddr3 laptops
But yeah
I feel the same way about ddr4 on alder lake
Doesnt make sense to change board and ram later on for better perf on the same cpu
People just might not change board and ram :o
Lot of ppl won't upgrade for like 3-5 years so
Well those are just my personal thoughts tho
Intel might have new socket by then
Fair
But ddr5 is legit like no stock
Nothing on wegg in stock
Amazon has no sign from what i can tell but Amazon has bad filters so idrk
B&h seems to just have pre-order
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Only way to get DDR5 is to buy RAM and Motherboard bundles on Newegg
Might upgrade to zen3 p when it comes out
Zen3p
Ahhh that's where all the ddr5 is
What p stand for ?
Plus
Ahh haven't heard it called that
But zen3d sounds good so
Zen3d
Also I've been calling it that anyway so
Will do when I get home.
Yeah 3200 at 1.2v is low
Oh really? Thanks.
Unless you're running at 2133 instead and forgot to turn on xmp yeah should be like 1.35v ish
when is ddr5 coming out officially
already out
ah yes 2020
sorry let me rephrase it
when like will it be cheap lol
usually a year
alright thanks
ddr3 took around a year to get good, ddr4 took around a year to get good (relative pricing)
ywah
alright so should i just get a good set of 3600
or just stick with 8 gigs
for another year
If you're sticking to a ddr4 platform, 2x8 3600c16 will be neat if its unlocked
yeah
Finally got approved this morning
Mounting bracket here I come 
I just want to be able to use the Stoopid CPU and motherboard I got lol
Pog
Neat
Estimated 3 day shipping
Would you all be interested in seeing ecore only performance?
Assuming it lets me disable the P cores
Did you get the i5, i7, or i9?
Completed. will report back with results
Yes
If nothing else you can set the software to run on the e cores in windows
i5
You can disable cores in bios, may be able to disable all pcores
Just need my mounting bracket to come in
Est 3 days
the E cores have about as much single core performance as a skylake thread, right?
A full Skylake core yeah
On par IPC
But they only clock to like 3.6ghz
What's funny is that's basically an entire i5 6400
They practically have a modern 6 core with a 6400 assistant cpu
I have a i5 6400 actually
Would be an interesting comparison
Ecore only vs i5 6400
I'm sure
it is kinda like that when you think of it
I'd be interested to see how much better intel alder lake handles background tasks with other processor heavy tasks
What's funny is that even though those CPU cores are 1/4 the size and 1/8th the power draw of Intel's Pcores
They're only half the size of Ryzen 5000 CPU cores
That's how chonky the P cores are
10nm vs 7nm I guess
Yeah and intel could make chips that are power efficient with the process
instead they went
*** M A K E T H E M B I G G E R***
It's kinda crazy how much bigger the new cpus are lol
Do you guys think that we'll see ecore only models for desktops? I think it'd be a great opportunity for the T series of processor (25-35 watt cpus)
I think we might
but probably for mobile only
considering the ecores can pull just 4 watts each
we may see more powerful 4 core 4 thread super efficient laptops
big little is going to be amazing for laptop battery life
I wonder if the scheduler will act differently if windows is in "power saving" mode instead of just downclocking the cpu
12100 maybe as an all e-core, that could be interesting.
i swapped to low pro file vengeance ram. i noticed its not running at 3600. its at 2300mhz. also my frames are noticeably lower at times
Enable XMP in your bios. Might also be called DOCP.
Thanks it worked went to xmp now 3600 🙏🏽
Has anyone ordered the ASRock B550M-HDV board recently?
tryna figure out which BIOS comes installed on it
Reason: Bad word usage
I think the 12100T might be
35 watts will not be enough for 12th gen pcores
Good luck
It'll vary by retailer and by luck. For example, if there's not a lot of them being restocked and they shove the old boards to the back, you might get an older bios version than someone else buying at a similar time.
wow
Yeah XD
Is it just me or are those messages from 2019?
Not just you, that's the 2nd or 3rd time I've seen them do that lol
Reason: Bad word usage
Reason: Too many infractions
Congrats! You won a free... ERROR MESSAGE CAN NOT BE FOUND
I'd really....really....like to know when NewEgg is restocking DDR5. I've got everything but RAM just sitting here. :/
Unfortunately, there's no way for Newegg or us to know, it'll get restocked whenever Newegg receives the next shipment from memory manufacturers
cry
Is there any website that provides any notification alert for this by any chance?
not yet afaik
most still only do GPU stock notifications
ic
There are some python scripts that are designed for gpus or something but could probably work with ddr5 as a customisation if you look around, ik b&h has some on preorder though
neat I'll take a look around
We were having convos about me messing up liquid metal last year
10400f can run ram higher than 2666mhz on a b560 right?
Yes
B560 has unlocked mem
Yep
Someone argued with me for 15min about it
Ty
The techie color is so similar to admin
Tf
Wait
Thats anime
Pato since when do you watch anime
No lol it's theos birthday role
Techie bright yellow
I don't
Why do you have the anime role then
.
.
Theos giving it to like everyone lol
Epic
Is i9 worth?
Depends on what you wanna do, for gaming, no
lmao
@vast meadow dont make me send you more christmas songs
I'm sorry
Now to get a motherboard and hope RAM is in stock soon
lmao
What CPU did you buy?
What should I be looking for in a mobo for a 12700k? That I would also potentially try mining with. @vast meadow
I would do 12600K instead if you haven't got that thing before
Already arriving tomorrow
Mhm, okeh
Then look for a mobo with ddr5
But a lil problem is the ram is outta stock rn
Was trying to decide if I should go ddr5 or 4. Just watched benchmarks that ddr5 barely does anything over 4 rn.
You do lose quite a chunk of perf in games
I've seen 0.1% lows having big difference
That metric of fps is what dictates how smooth the actually game runs
Yeah I know that much. I know basic outline of parts and what they do just not all the little features to look for.
It's mostly jedec ddr5 right now so you'll have to overclock it by hand to get the expected performance
5200c36 isn't too bad imo
But ocing it defo helps
We dunno how well they oc yet so it's an unknown space
Yeah that's not horrible, a little lower latency than jedec
Which die is best and blah blah
A 5200c36, 32 gigs kit goes for 299 atm
Basically everyone has it at that price
Huh ddr4 performs slightly better on a few games but on more of the games ddr5 lows are higher FPS by a lot.
Just watched game benchmarks.
It depends on the reviewer and what kits they use
Across the board, I see em use the mentioned kits up there
And also how much memory speed affects the individual games
5200c36 everywhere
And the comparison to ddr4 is mainly 3600c16
Sometimes 3200c16
Or 3200 c14
yeh
ECC something I should be looking for?
Only for workstations and servers
^
Tho ddr5 already has on-dimm ecc built in
But ya shouldn't worry about it regardless
It's just new addition to ddr5
Get the aorus
The vrms basically looks the same
but the aorus is cheaper so yeah
Yeah I was looking at stuff and basically seemed the same to me. I just didn't know if there was something I was missing. Or like if gen 2 was old.
The networking speed up to is higher on the aorus as well.
Another question tho. How is synching RGB with different brands?
They're basically equal to me, wifi wise
Cause all Z690 does come with wifi built into the chipset
Yeah I just meant the up to 2.4GbE vs 2.5GbE.
Gigabyte uses rgb fusion, while msi uses uh dragon something? iirc
Oh that's just ethernet
Also aorus seems to be doing better in the benchmarks I'm watching for the most part.
Dragon center has been changed to just msi center
Ah
Yeah I know that was ethernet I just meant the speed is faster. Could be very minimal speeds or just marketing but was js.
It wouldn't matter unless your internet is that fast xD
Most things promising faster speeds and latency are just marketing
2.5 gigabit is like 2500 mbps
Yeah I meant though like do you need RGB apps for every different brand then?
Mhm
That's annoying lol.
There's third party apps that sometimes work
Welp looks like I'm basically ending up with bloatware anyway.
MSI Center for MSI, AORUS RGB FUSION is for AORUS
Yeah openRGB sometimes work
I like Asus myself the most, Aura Sync is nice
Openrgb still doesn't like msi. There was a few boards that got the rgb bricked.
I doubt the gigabyte will have much issues
You can configure it so msi works but it's "at your own risk"
Signalrgb was another one, but feels very bloaty with how big it is
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1666737-REG/asus_rog_strix_z690_f_gaming.html
What is this site and why does the preorder not seem to list a date of release anywhere?
B&H is fairly reputable
They probably don't know exactly what date they're allowed to sell it, manufacturers can change things last minute.
^
Well the gigabyte is bundled with norton. And honestly I might be willing to get a more expensive CPU partly for RGB and partly bc I don't want annoying AV popups anymore.
Ahh
You'll just find it as an optional install when you use their driver update tools
Thanks a lot man
Mining with your gaming gpu has nothing to do with the motherboard so just get a decent motherboard vrm wise and feature wise
You don't need to spend that much on a mobo but if you want to spend that much definitely the aorus
Ehh not really(compared to the other z590s) you can get a z590 ud for 200$
isn't z590 ud ddr4?
Sorry z690 ud*
Ahh the ddr5 one is oos atm but 220$
Same with msi a pro
I mean the a pro is 220 and the prime p is 230 soo
The aorus elite ax d4 is only 270 it's like 50 cheaper than d5
Well I came home to a frozen PC. So I reset it. Who crashed obviously saying same crash log
This crash log
What do you mean? Typically this issue resets my PC by itself. But this time it was just frozen to I tapped the power button.
Thats called restart
Not reset
Reset is completely different
Reset involves reinstalling windows
We did this twice now
I can do it again when I get home
How can I get ahold of this?
And then hit start search
If ur on win 10 choose win 10 64 bit instead of win 11
And then just scroll down
How old of a driver should I get
Try 1 or 2 versions
Okay. That should work? I had this card in an older PC build for about 30 days no crashing.
Nothing. New build
Been going thru lots of issues in this chat tho with this pc
🙃
Luckily. @vast meadow is an OG and been helping me 🥺
I like pato 😳
Pato is love, Pato is life
😳
I can't find a filter for a lga 1151 cpu socket type in filters when I search motherboard am I doing something wrong?
Well you don't want to be buying a motherboard/cpu that old anyway unless 2nd hand and cheaper
But if the site has separate amd/intel motherboard categories mb that's it
Lga1151 is just a very annoying mess by Intel, there's kind of like a lga1151v1 and a lga1151v2, same supposed socket, but chipsets that are basically lga1151v1 won't support chips that are on lga1151v2, for example, 9900k can't fit on z270
Best to just search by the chipset
Ok ty
hey uh so
I just realised that I have 8 GB of ram installed after I installed my liquid cooler
So I'm missing 8
That rams lights werent running so I just tried both rams in second slot and they both work
However 2-3 slots together just dont boot
I tried resetting bios settings but it didnt work
I also tried to clean ram slot 4 with a brush but it also didnt work
Theres no visible damage
Try 1 stick in slot 2, see if it works, move to slot 4, see if it works, same with the other stick
Just try 1 stick at a time for the moment
Ok uh I just reinstalled it again and it now shows up
On 2-4 slots as normal
Thats so strange
Because on second try rams lights were on but it wasnt on bios nor windows
🤷♂️
Can we talk about how jank the PCIE layout is for z690?
Why is it jank?
Because wtf
The main 16 slot is 5.0
The nvme is half 4.0
And the other slots are 3.0

I've never seen a board with 3 generation of PCIE on it before
And especially for my new board
Slots 1 2 and 4 for nvme are 4.0
Slot 3 is 3.0
With that much nvme slots
I think its fair
Pcie 5.0 will be irrelevant for some time anyways
mobo manufactures are just too lazy/cheap to buy more switches
I'm pretty sure chipset link PCIe 4.0 or equivalent, therefore any slots being PCIe 3.0 is them being cheap with either the traces or pcie switches imo
Every board I've seen so far
Has some pcie 3.0 on it
Like
It's so weird
Imagine a pcie 4.0 board with pcie 2.0 on it
Wdym, nvme is a X 4 lanes, where a is gen
Don't see a problem with that at all, pcie is backwards compatible anyway
I meant half the drive slots are 4.0
So? Same with most b550 boards etc
It's just funny to me that there's 3 generations of PCIE on the board, that's all
hm
the chipset itself does pcie 4.0 and 3.0
cpu does 5.0
I thought it was all 4.0
since DMI 4.0
@shy wyvern
summarized by Anandtech
its just weird

Feels like a PC in 2021 with USB 2.0 ports. Don't understand why we cling to older technologies
is an E5-1630v3 good enough for a minecraft server, around 10 people
and its going to be with 6gb of 2133mhz ram (online server hosting)
Helo
Guys
I need hell
Help
Not hell
So I just got new thermal paste today to remove the old one and add it
Reason: Bad word usage
But the f ing heatsink is stuck onto the cooler
How am I supposed to remove it
By the way I have an amd wraith prism stock cooler
The thermal paste turned like super glue
twist very carefully when removing it. It will come loose.
Don't just apply vertical pressure, apply horizontal pressure to wiggle it loose without damaging the CPU
I tried that it's literally glued to the cpu
Did you make sure all the screws are out?
If so just keep twisting from side to side
You mean 3900X?
yes
How is it not working exactly?
Describe what is happening when you attempt to turn the PC on
like when i do boot up it cant take me into bios and it wont do anything
its not my graphics card because i have tried several
I would first of all suggest all to check all of your PSU cables and see if they are connected properly
ok ill look nw
So no fans or lights come on at all?
yes lights and fan come on
Make sure your front panel connectors are in properly also
k
Which TUF motherboard though
no how do i do that
not sure oop-
An instructional video on how to remove, reseat, or just install additional memory into your computer.
Is it a B550 or X570 board?
ohhh i thought u said reset ram
