If you're bored just apply to lockheed

[craggy shoal]

I want a remote job

Oh lmao

I don't have a PHD in engineering

[sinful blade]

I want a job remote

[sinful blade]

Not again…

Third time this month

[chrome mirage]

I think redmagic needs to hire better translators. I keep seeing spelling mistakes and weird translations all over on this phone.

[mortal grail]

redmagic continues to be interesting

sometimes they just abandon the translations

💀

[atomic current]

redmagic should use their read magic to make the typos disappear

[craggy shoal]

They should use ChatGPT for translating actually lol

Apparently it's really good at translating

I had a whole conversation with my gf's mother the other day (via text). She natively speaks Vietnamese btw

[wary fjord]

chatgpt in translation is better than google translation it self xD

imo

[craggy shoal]

nah it fr is

[wary fjord]

iit trained to understand not to memorize xD

sometimes i wrote a letter and i push it to chatgpt .. to rephrase it and correct my grammar

[craggy shoal]

the only issue I had with it translating English to Vietnamese was when it tried to translate "hot chocolate" to something like "hot water with chocolate" or something in Vietnamese

[wary fjord]

this should be

"Turning on this lit feature will make your screen poppin' with extra brightness, saturation, and contrast; but just know, it'll also drain your battery faster."

[wary fjord]

lol what if one day you meet her parents xD

[craggy shoal]

that's the plan lol. only I probably still won't know or understand Vietnamese lolll

[wary fjord]

well u better learn viet

[north crescent]

Should be "Turning on this lit feature will make your screen poppin"

[spark halo]

after much thinking.

I'm going to take a guess here and say its my router or modem.

so as I play the game of: find the bottleneck

NETGEAR Nighthawk 8-Stream AX8 Wifi 6 Router (RAX80) – AX6000 Wireless Speed (Up to 6 Gbps) | 2,500 sq. ft. Coverage

NETGEAR Nighthawk Cable Modem CM1200 - Compatible with all Cable Providers including Xfinity by Comcast, Spectrum, Cox | For Cable Plans Up to 2 Gigabits | 4 x 1G Ethernet ports | DOCSIS 3.1, Black

so I'm not sure where the bottleneck is...

@velvet summit

[velvet summit]

What is the speed you are paying for?

[spark halo]

1g

[velvet summit]

Hmm

[velvet summit]

Try directly connecting to this to your computer with cat6 and run a speedtest

[spark halo]

I did

I'm only getting 260 to 550 down

[velvet summit]

Hmm

Then the ISP isn't giving you the full speed, or maybe it's the modem

[mortal grail]

Did you try with only the computer connected

[velvet summit]

well, if they directly connect the modem to the computer, then that would be the only thing connected

unless the modem has more than 1 port

oh the modem does have 4 ports

[mortal grail]

As they usually do

💀

[velvet summit]

all my modems only have 1

[mortal grail]

At least the ones I know

Well IDK MAN

It got four I know four!

REEE

[velvet summit]

i mean, unless you count modem and router combo units

💀

[pliant berry]

Bro wtf amazon sucks. First time ordering in months i just wanted thermal paste.
Asked my friend to order for me since he has prime.
It has been over a week, 2 delays later and now they think it’s lost

[velvet summit]

i have never had amazon lose a package

only delivered to the wrong house

[mortal grail]

Their faces, pasted over in despair

[velvet summit]

which actually happens quite a bit

[spark halo]

I have considered a combo unit

[pliant berry]

He thinks im cursed because I’ve never once had a good experience with amazon. Everytime i order thinngs get delayed or lost

[mortal grail]

This happened to me and I got a 2nd free cooking pot once

[velvet summit]

lmfao

[mortal grail]

I was nice and said they did that and now my returns get approved no questions asked

[velvet summit]

i wrote a note to my neighbor to come pick it up since they werent home and they had a gate

[pliant berry]

This has been happening to me with usps

[velvet summit]

(where the hell are amazon delivery drivers supposed to put the packages with a gate)

it's not even an automatic gate

[pliant berry]

On the spiked top

[velvet summit]

lmao

[mortal grail]

https://tenor.com/view/delivery-its-here-over-the-fence-throw-bad-neighbor-gif-13844488

[pliant berry]

Impale the package

[mortal grail]

I've had someone chuck a delivery over before

I watched them do it too

Luckily it was some small not fragile thing

Have no recollection of what package I just remember her blah face and the beaten up black mazda out on the street

[velvet summit]

anyways, if you're directly connected to the modem with a cat6 cable, or even just a cat5e cable, and are not getting at least 800mbps, then the issue is either on your isp's end or your modem

theoretically it shouldnt be your modem though since it's pretty modern from what i see, and should handle 2 gig

[spark halo]

https://tenor.com/view/jontron-gun-kill-it-killing-it-gif-15853370

Ikr

I mean what do i need a 2.5g modem...

https://tenor.com/view/the-simpsons-think-ponder-concentrate-focus-gif-4911264

[velvet summit]

anyways, you're not the only one not getting even near the advertised speeds lmao
i have someone on another server from texas which pays for a.. i believe 200mbps plan? and often they barely even get 20

download

sometimes they get their full speed

but most of the time they just have terrible speeds

[spark halo]

Wow.

[velvet summit]

i forget if it was a 200 or 100mbps plan

but yeah it's terrible

[wary fjord]

the thing is

u havae option to cut the xD service

but maybe u cant because not much provider

[velvet summit]

aintnoway

their latest speedtest

from a few days ago

[wary fjord]

some isp keeps getting around on this like slowing down the internet by purpose because yall always be so considerate xD

[spark halo]

I am not one of those people.

[chrome mirage]

I had a delivery driver throw a 1TB m.2 at my door before

[pliant berry]

I replaced my isp router with a 10yr old desktop cuz I didn’t like it

[spark halo]

You pullin 1g?

[pliant berry]

Ye

[spark halo]

Show

[pliant berry]

Realistically though its like 800

[spark halo]

Sooo

That begs the question

[pliant berry]

But that is just the providers overhead

[spark halo]

Ah huh

[velvet summit]

yeah generally with a 1g plan you should get at least 800mbps, usually more around the 900mbps range

[pliant berry]

You never get exactly what is advertised. Even when ltt upgraded to 10gig they were actually getting like 9.6 or something

[wary fjord]

also what i hate seing on american isps is the lact of upload speed

[velvet summit]

which is actually why i find it strange that my 3 gig plan gives me technically more than 3g speeds

though my network interfaces cant handle that much

[wary fjord]

not all isps but i seen like the ratio of dl and ul is so far

xD

[velvet summit]

so im limited to 2.5 gig speeds

[pliant berry]

Some isps in the us are horrible

[spark halo]

Yep

[wary fjord]

my isp ul and dl rate ratio are so close

[spark halo]

I get men what you usin

[pliant berry]

that's weird, when I started a speedtest it's acting as though its going through a vpn but there is no vpn active

[spark halo]

Lol

[pliant berry]

it's showign the wrong ip too

yeah this is about my average day speed

https://i.imgur.com/c6pURUY.png

[velvet summit]

huh? an isp recently got fiber on my street so i have fiber now

[wary fjord]

when i speed test it will burst to 584 mbps then go back to 417+ xD for some reason

is that isp cap?

[velvet summit]

in terms of hardware, im using the router/fiber ONT modem combo

[wary fjord]

that is nice

[velvet summit]

from the isp

[wary fjord]

better than mine .. thats twice fast as i have

[velvet summit]

(they dont seem to support the usage of third party ONTs)

[pliant berry]

I just use the isps modem

[craggy shoal]

What most people know: Life360 exists
What Life360 users don't know: you can get the coordinates of another member of your circle in case they're in danger

[pliant berry]

oh yeah I knew some people that used life360 to keep track of their kids

[craggy shoal]

Your mom's phone at this current moment: either unlocked or has no passcode and it's probably across the house from where she's from

[velvet summit]

i have never even heard of that app

sounds like something that would drain your battery

[craggy shoal]

bro has had a good life

[mighty hazel]

Don’t iPhones have find my which is the same

[craggy shoal]

yep

it's just for braindead strict parents

[pliant berry]

in my family it's usually been the opposite, I used find my to keep tabs on my parents

This is the first time I've seen this menu

Only thing this does is allow you to specify a reduction in resources lol

[gleaming sedge]

what is a good chrome ad blocker i thought it was ublock maybe

[craggy shoal]

uBlock Origin

[atomic current]

Firefox

[craggy shoal]

the only one you'll need honestly

[craggy shoal]

Firefox doesn't block anything but Brave does more than uBlock alone

Firefox just doesn't have any of the "let's track your web activity features", which is really why people say it's more private

[gleaming sedge]

eww

[craggy shoal]

every TechToker who gives bad Windows advice

[atomic current]

[craggy shoal]

I actually prefer Firefox over Chrome lol

[still zinc]

I use brave tbh

[atomic current]

https://tenor.com/view/animal-funny-drinking-shower-cat-gif-12009072

[craggy shoal]

Brave + Firefox = the best and only combo you should go with

dailying a single browser. imagine 💀

[atomic current]

Why combine anything with Firefox

It's all just chromium

[gleaming sedge]

i just like it since everything is there already

[still zinc]

*I was using OperaGX, but it was way too shady to keep using it

[craggy shoal]

that's why I secondary Brave and not OperaGX

"Yeah we'll give you a free VPN and it TOTALLY won't decrease your 1 Gbps Internet connection to 10 Mbps"

[still zinc]

The VPN Doesn't work, btw, almost every site has blocked it.

Same with it's ""ad blocker""

[craggy shoal]

probably why it's so slow 💀

I don't use a free VPN unless I know its purpose

like Tailscale, which is meant for connection devices, rather than blocking and slowing your Internet speeds

[still zinc]

Basically, I built the PC myself And it was running well however next day my PC didn't show the Windows until I flipped the PSU off and on. Today my PC crashed twice when I used Chrome and Discord. Any thoughts

Isnt that "overvolting"? OCing would be higher polling rate, no?

[tranquil pebble]

i noticed a bit late sorry

[misty sparrow]

NO BAD WORDS

RAHH

[tranquil pebble]

GPT be like: no fun allowed

It also failed to get the joke I was going for

[north crescent]

Stop threatening fictional characters, holy heck. Wtf man.

That aint a joke

[tranquil pebble]

also kinda fun to send crap posts to GPT and see how it reacts

[pseudo raven]

funny enough a lot of good chatgpt prompts threaten self harm or some other form of extortion to get it to do stuff properly

[tranquil pebble]

Usually its a no fun allowed type response though

2B or not 2B will be the question

2B!!!

But we don't have any acceptable robots nowadays, or the right knowledge on material science to create a lifelike android that's not in the uncanny valley.

budget 600

what are our thoughts

(fortnite pc)

i know the cpu is overkill compared to everything else

[dusk knot]

Fortnite...hmm

[steel dagger]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/boogadown/saved/#view=8vk64D can you view this

[dusk knot]

Permission denied

Don't set it to private when sharing links from PC part Picker

[steel dagger]

try again

[steel dagger]

did it work

[dusk knot]

Yes

I wouldn't say that this is overkill for fortnite

[steel dagger]

specifically the cpu compared to the rest of the build

[dusk knot]

Eh

[spark halo]

Btw @velvet summit i figured out the problem

[dusk knot]

Its not bad @steel dagger

[spark halo]

The cables.

[steel dagger]

yippee

[spark halo]

It was in fact them due too looking up there download speed on amazon.

[dusk knot]

But still let other people look at your build not just me @steel dagger

[spark halo]

So if your not pulling your full gig

It may be cables

[steel dagger]

i have another fantastic question

how long does a newegg refund take to appear in my account

like after it says return completed on the website

[spark halo]

Booga I strongly recommend a better gpu.

Depending if your trying to run unlocked fps

It can affect gameplay

[steel dagger]

fortnite doesnt need a good gpu and my options are limited with amd not working properly for fortnite

[sweet phoenix]

I wouldnt pair that cpu with that motherboard or gpu

[steel dagger]

why not

[sweet phoenix]

The motherboard has bad vrms

It will barely run a 12400f

Do b660m pro rs with a separate wifi adapter

And I'd drop cpu to 12400f, take out the 214xt

[spark halo]

Didn't say it needed it, I recommend it due too knowing the issues I have had with it

[sweet phoenix]

Ssd spend $10 for a 1tb, no point to save that little bit for half the storage

[spark halo]

Also make sure your storage space is large if you have a large capacity of games.

[sweet phoenix]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/BJF48d/mushkin-enhanced-helix-l-1-tb-m2-2280-solid-state-drive-mknssdhl1tb-d8

[spark halo]

Oh your fine.

[sweet phoenix]

Lastly that psu is known for catching fire

The asus tuf 450w is $45 iirc, or apecia Prestige 600w is $52

Either is a much better choice

A580, if it's the best you can get it's fine. If you can get an a750 or a770, or are willing to look for a used 20 series gpu, I would

[spark halo]

This is something I can get behind.

[velvet summit]

could be the coaxial cable even, or rather, the splitters in the house
is the coaxial from the isp wired directly to the modem? or does it go through a splitter or 2 before

[sweet phoenix]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dxdw89 here

That's what I'd do

[spark halo]

Had to think, it does go through a splitter.

Then hits the house

[velvet summit]

low quality splitters i've seen cause problems especially if they're lower quality

[spark halo]

I'm not sure I can take a look tomorrow

[velvet summit]

if you dont use the coaxial in the house, might as well just use those coaxial.. things that just connect the 2 cables together and bypass the splitter if so, which may or may not solve the problem, im not sure

[spark halo]

I have coaxial inside the house lol

Just not in my walls

Wait can't say that

[sweet phoenix]

5600 is a lil bit worse than 12400f, but it has cheaper mobo options. That b550 is OK, and comes with wifi

[spark halo]

However I do know the download speed of those cables is off.

[misty sparrow]

[swift sable]

Bread

[dusk knot]

bread

[rancid juniper]

@tranquil pebble @wary fjord missed two confidants for true ending, meh I'll just watch it sometime on YouTube. I mean this game makes me want to NG+

12/25 rn, NGL that 12/24 boss was difficult AF lol

Had to keep using items

And then swap teams last minute

[misty sparrow]

all you had to do was say “bread”, cj

[young matrix]

if you think amd is bad then intel support is worse

amd is perfectly fine as long as you properly uninstall old drivers

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/txnFHG

[misty sparrow]

intel GPU is a bit odd for $600 budget

[rancid juniper]

bruh

first game that i put the most hours in

[pliant berry]

I think my most played steam game is still terraria at around 400

[rancid juniper]

dayum

yea i wouldn't go that far for a game lolz

but only if its really enjoyable ig

[steel dagger]

Literally wrong

[pliant berry]

I thought it wasn't much honestly I'm not as much a gamer as some of my friends

https://i.imgur.com/5b79JlZ.png

[steel dagger]

There are no better options

[young matrix]

buy a used 2070 super

[steel dagger]

Not my pc and the kid does not want to deal with used stuff

[young matrix]

the kid wont want to deal with intel drivers not supporting a good chunk of games

[steel dagger]

The only game he cares about is fortnirw

Fortnite

[young matrix]

amd is fine ive been buiding with their cards for years

[elfin mural]

isn't intel drivers even worse lol

[young matrix]

yes

[steel dagger]

No idea

Never heard of any problems with fortnite though

[elfin mural]

they improved a lot now, but it's still pretty meh

[young matrix]

and the arc a580 isnt even good to begin with

[steel dagger]

Bought a brand new 7700xt and had nothing but problems

[pliant berry]

honestly I think intel arc is still too early stages for normal consumers

[elfin mural]

amd will be less likely to give you better driver experience

[young matrix]

did you ddu windows

[steel dagger]

Everything was brand new

[young matrix]

did you buy msi mech

[steel dagger]

Amd is known to be unusable with fortnite for no good reason

[elfin mural]

intel on the other hand has more issues

[steel dagger]

Never heard of it

[young matrix]

my friend is running a RX550 with 0 issues

another is on a 6600xt

no issues

[pliant berry]

recently I saw a lot of amd users have issues with fortnite but it seemed to be isolated to just fortnite and recent updates

[steel dagger]

Your friend probably plays at 60 fps on zero builds

I play at the competitive level against the best players in the world

[elfin mural]

this is the time i would probably suggest nvidia

[young matrix]

we're ranked plat-diamond with build and we trio q

[young matrix]

thats you, not your client

[steel dagger]

No offense thats very low

[young matrix]

besides

[young matrix]

none taken tbh we dont play that often

[steel dagger]

He WANTS to, he probably wont but fps drops cannot be happening

[young matrix]

and yeah fortnites rank system is dirt easy to rank up

untill you get to unreal or master

[young matrix]

increase the budget, there is 0 way you are getting above 100fps with good frametimes and visibility with a $600 budget unless you go used

[elfin mural]

tbf arc a750 would be a much better buy

[steel dagger]

Not my choice

[young matrix]

ight well then you gotta deny service

[steel dagger]

Isnt there like no difference other than more vram

[young matrix]

pretty big difference

[elfin mural]

there is

[young matrix]

tbf not ahuge gap but still

[rancid juniper]

What da heCK

[elfin mural]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/W3FMmD

$600 budet with arc

[rancid juniper]

Even if Intel ARC is not great ATM you do got to realize that it is infact going against recent competitive gpus. And that is really impressive for a first gen dgpu they've made

[elfin mural]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bRGDh3

[rancid juniper]

Honestly, I was expecting the performance to be worse than a pascal card or lower

[elfin mural]

boom

huh i can fit 6600xt in there

[rancid juniper]

Just grateful that we see another competitor in this cursed pc market

[young matrix]

Best list

[elfin mural]

im just waiting for arc battlemage tbf

[sweet phoenix]

What about a refurbished gpu?

[sweet phoenix]

With that list

[young matrix]

Ill probably trade in old switch or something

[young matrix]

Or get a job

[young matrix]

I do shipped commissions now

Think about it

[rancid juniper]

[sweet phoenix]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DvVyQP

That will give the best performance for fortnite out of any of the lists

For $50 cheaper, the 2060 is alright

[elfin mural]

shoots over budget tho

[sweet phoenix]

Wasn't it $600?

[elfin mural]

yeah

but $17 over probably hard for a kid

[sweet phoenix]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BwVyQP

[young matrix]

5600G?

[sweet phoenix]

@steel dagger ?

[sweet phoenix]

Why?

[young matrix]

Isnt it cheaper than 5600

[elfin mural]

5600g = 5500

[sweet phoenix]

Yes

[elfin mural]

just has igp

[sweet phoenix]

And much worse

[young matrix]

Oh

[sinful blade]

Why not do a 1080ti
Save a little more money

Never mind, was reading the wrong chat

[ancient swift]

Ayaneo doing the craziest budget windows handheld I've ever seen. Both Anbernic(399 worst value handheld on the market) and Ayn(225) did the Athlon 3050e.

Supposedly Ayaneo is aiming at 300$ with a 4500u.

Whether it'll actually launch and be available at that price is up for question, I remember what happened with the Mendocino handhelds

[elfin mural]

1080ti also will be dropped from driver support soon tbh

lack of mesh shader also isn't a good thing for the future

[elfin mural]

aaaaaa

[mortal grail]

@steel dagger https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MgBJTY

[elfin mural]

all the sd 6 gen 1 phones here are $300

i wanna commit death

[mortal grail]

5700XT can typically be found much cheaper than 150 tho, 150 is generous

Check r/HardwareSwap

And if you tell me fortnite is unusable on radeon...we just tested this the other day with someone else...not true

[ancient swift]

How much would an Ayn Odin 2 be for you?

If they ship to you

[elfin mural]

probably expensive lol

i aim to push budget to below $200 for my maybe next year phone purchase

so used is probably my best bet

[ancient swift]

You can only buy direct from Ayn with the Odin 2. I wonder if they edit the price for your country

[elfin mural]

im sure shipping is expensive enough

besides i just really want a phone tbf

[ancient swift]

https://www.ayntec.com/collections/odin/products/odin-2?variant=44035820552384

Check the price. I wanna seeee

[ancient swift]

What phone do you have now?

[elfin mural]

poco m5

it's fine, albeit sometimes too slow

[ancient swift]

Ah, personally I'd wait until Samsung launches their next phone and then see who's playing catch up.

[elfin mural]

they already did

a25 with 5g version of my phone's soc

$300

samsung lost me at a25

i'll probably just get used phones

somethin like mi 11 lite ne

[ancient swift]

I mean the higher end phones

People who buy high end phones are more likely to upgrade imo.

[elfin mural]

yeah, i don't have money for those anyway tbh

[ancient swift]

How much is the Samsung S21 5g there?

On eBay or Facebook marketplace

[elfin mural]

im probably gonna buy an iqoo z8x, imported from china

or a pixel 6a from taobao

s21 here are exynos

they're within $200 range yeah, but some already has burn in

[ancient swift]

Nothing wrong with the exynos for being used as a phone.

[mortal grail]

wth I turn on epic games launcher for the first time in ages and I have like, 10 friend requests all from people I know

[ancient swift]

Get one without burn in 😤

[elfin mural]

the only exynos i'd enjoy is probably the tensor g1

ive been seriously considering the pixel 6a

good custom rom community

[ancient swift]

👀

[elfin mural]

smaller screen than my current phone but

i happily used an lg v30 before

so it's no biggie

this poco is fairly heavy and chunky

like 200g or so

[ancient swift]

My phone's 205g. Is that heavy? O.o

[elfin mural]

i have had lighter phones so 200g+ feels substantial for me lel

more clumsy to use when laying down

miss my v30

[ancient swift]

Last phone I had below 200g was the Razer Phone at 197 g lol. Before that it was the Acer Liquid Jade Primo at 150g apparently. Back in 2015/2016 lol

[elfin mural]

i shouldve kept my money and not buy the refurb v30 lol

otherwise i wouldn't be looking for yet another phone

this poco is merely a stopgap solution, can't be phoneless

[ancient swift]

It'll never not shock me that Razer had a phone that was 16:9. 2560x1440p. But then when they made their gaming handheld that had a focus towards streaming Xbox game pass and steam link(even getting Valve to enable 144hz fps on it) they decided to do 20:9...

[elfin mural]

pixel 6a does look great tho

[ancient swift]

Like, it works for Android games I guess. But it could have been grand if they did 16:9.

[elfin mural]

always kinda wanted to run a pixel lol

but they were always so tiny with batts

so i kept avoiding them

6a has no 90hz screen but

smooth 60hz over inconsistent 90 all day

i will definitely miss the batt life tho

compared to my current

[mortal grail]

unironically good phone too, the first gen

[ancient swift]

I liked it. I still have it but the USB-C port broke and I'm too lazy and stingy to pay someone to fix it.

[mortal grail]

literally every razer phone I think ended that way

mine did too

I sent it to razer for repair and they gave me a 2nd gen

2nd gen was nicer in a couple ways but the glass back is concerning

it broke way too often in the hands of people lmao

[ancient swift]

Wait, maybe I had the 2nd gen. Cause mine also has a small crack on the back lol

The first doesn't have wireless charging right?

[mortal grail]

no it doesn't

2nd does and it's honestly a bit game changing

but other than that the changes were basically flair and an audio jack iirc

[pliant berry]

Do they still make phones?

[chrome mirage]

I was watching a video in HDR on my 600 nit monitor and I thought it looked pretty good. Then I brought it up on my 1600 nit phone screen and noticed how much color detail was missing.

[mortal grail]

nah haven't for years

they defined the gaming phone genre then bugged out

[ancient swift]

The Razer Edge feels a lot like a Razer phone except with the stupid aspect ratio. So maybe one day they'll do another Razer phone

"Razer Phone Edge" could be a thing. It does have a Verizon model but I think it's data only

[paper verge]

lmfao

[chrome mirage]

I did an oil change on a Denali and forgot to put oil in it in 2017

[azure verge]

New psu arrives tomorrow but my new GPU arrives next week 😔😔😔

I’m impatient lol

I can’t wait

[weak cedar]

need to test during the snow storm if it does happen

[paper verge]

bravo

[chrome mirage]

That's what happens when a dealership has an unpaid untrained 17 year old doing oil changes.

I did notice the lack of oil pressure and shut it off quite fast so the engine might still be ok

[paper verge]

did they fire you after that?

[weak cedar]

Could be worse 😅

I'm eyeing to get this car since I need a car

ePrice $23,518

[swift sable]

[grand kernel]

I am truly stumped by this PC

updated bios and now when I turn it on it spins to life for like 0.1 seconds before turning off immediately

sounds like it’s tripping a protection or something, I hear a click and then the psu won’t attempt to turn on again unless I turn it off and drain caps first

was working perfectly fine a moment ago…

[mortal grail]

That's psu trip

OCP

Or something else like a rogue ground

I've had it happen on 2 different units myself

[wary fjord]

chad mom

[proud jackal]

[grand kernel]

ok now I’m even more confused

you’ll never guess how I got it to turn on again

it’s installing windows now… no clue if it’ll turn on again if I turn it off

[cedar compass]

Short

if psu not turning on again untill you unplug and plug it again, good indication there's short circuit somewhere

I'd unplug fans first then gpu

[grand kernel]

I unplugged the 24 pin and hooked it up to my psu tester and it worked

then I plugged the 24 pin back into the mobo and it booted right up

turned it off and back on and it clicked and turned off again

repeated the same thing with the psu tester and it booted right back up

what on earth…

[mortal grail]

Starting to sound exactly like the painge that cost me months on two of my systems

[grand kernel]

am I going insane?

how is this even possible LOL

[mortal grail]

Nay, just remrmbered, happened to 3 of my psus

[mortal grail]

Trust me ur not

Suggestion

Take it all apart

[elfin mural]

oh no

[mortal grail]

Down to single bits

Rebuild it

[elfin mural]

pc taking apart pain

[mortal grail]

Honestly 2/3 times this happened to my psu, a full rebuild fixed it

And I tried EVERYTHING

[grand kernel]

this pc was given to me by a friend of a friend with a history of problems

[elfin mural]

welp it's electrical stuff i guess

[grand kernel]

so you managed to get it to turn on using a psu tester too?

[elfin mural]

there's always a risk of that

[mortal grail]

Yes

Only 1/3 died which was pgm

Ocp went insane

[remote geode]

meow

[mortal grail]

The other two still work

And I still use

[wary fjord]

get a gtr

[mortal grail]

I've even had this with a decathlon 1600w

[shut crystal]

Is starforge systems only for prebuilts? Because everyone told me to avoid prebuilts

[mortal grail]

The answer I'm beginning to believe is just rebuild

[mortal grail]

Prebuilts ye

But they received an almost glowing review from GN

Which is

impressive

[remote geode]

omg a weeb

XD

[shut crystal]

Yeah screw that

[mortal grail]

GN would point at a moth and give you 13 reasons why it's unoptimised

[shut crystal]

I already did research in building PCs yourself and it doesn’t even look too hard.

[remote geode]

or a bumblebee

[elfin mural]

prebuilts are perfectly fine but they cost more and you have no control of parts choice

[mortal grail]

Yep

[remote geode]

you know what else is hard?

my credit card repayments

[mortal grail]

But we can at least green flag starforge as ok

[shut crystal]

Yeah and you probably can’t upgrade or unscrew them

[elfin mural]

ye

[mortal grail]

You take known L's

[elfin mural]

er

[mortal grail]

But it comes out fine

[elfin mural]

that's false

[mortal grail]

Can

[elfin mural]

you can open up prebuilts and not void warranty

[mortal grail]

The more normal prebuilts use normal parts

[elfin mural]

^

not all prebuilts are non standard

[mortal grail]

But this is why I mentioned this, you get lower warranties for the same parts you buy off the shelf

[elfin mural]

the prebuilts we recc are always standard

[mortal grail]

And pay overhead for labour and shipping

[mortal grail]

Not always

[elfin mural]

well, yeah

[mortal grail]

But most of the time

[elfin mural]

sometimes there's exceptions

[shut crystal]

Feel like I should just order pc parts of Newegg and when they arrive to my house I can put it all together

[elfin mural]

don't buy from one place

[shut crystal]

Because that’s the site my older brother used for his computer and it worked out for him

[wary fjord]

u mean cant xD i know a case where if u replacea part on a prebuilt ur warranty is voided .

[mortal grail]

Try not to stick purely to one store cos you can rack up a lot of wasted money that way

[wary fjord]

i mean i guess depends

[elfin mural]

missing out on best deals on other sites add up in cost

[mortal grail]

Only exception would be maybe micro centre

As they try to compete with everyone

[elfin mural]

it can make you waste hundreds, or even a thousand or more buying from one place

[elfin mural]

yeah, but you can open it up and clean it

do basic maintenance

replacing parts will void warranty

[grand kernel]

welp the pc is running occt power and karhu with no problems

[elfin mural]

but cleaning it, nah

[grand kernel]

time to turn it off and see if it can still turn on again lmao

[wary fjord]

yeah thats fine

[grand kernel]

nope turned off psu drained caps and now it’s doing the same thing

[elfin mural]

full rebuild time

[mortal grail]

Welcome to my pain

Suggest rebuild

I have literally swapped out both problem pc's with almost all new parts and then it finally went away when I committed to the rebuild

On the plus side look forward to this

If it keeps going the same way

You'll have a rock solid stable system after

Both PC's are so ridiculously stable it's hard to believe they're both ryzen

Ima send you something to also try rq

[wary fjord]

my friend yesterday hes psu broke.. the cap needs to discharge before he can turn the pc again xD but then it will shutdown after few seconds.. he replace it and now its fine.

what i mean by discharge is have to unplug and turn off the psu at the back wait for few seconds and try again xD

[grand kernel]

it really doesn’t make sense to me that the pc boots right back up completely normally if I just plug the psu into the psu tester first then back into the mobo

how can that be a short

[mortal grail]

Just one of a couple ideas

Like a pin is touching the case

[grand kernel]

for the record, I did mostly rebuild it already while troubleshooting

but if there really is a short then why is it working now

[mortal grail]

I'd say the same but then while the pc is running it would trip at times

I've had it trip from plugging a 12v fan in

[grand kernel]

I unplugged the psu from the psu tester and plugged it straight into the mobo and it boots up and runs stress tests stable

[mortal grail]

Mhm

Similar here

I was stress stable too

[grand kernel]

but if I drain the caps then no post

[shut crystal]

If I get both an ATX case and an ATX motherboard would they fit together?

[mortal grail]

Mhm

Sometimes it would fail post

Other times pretend the gpu was broken

Would be upset with specific ram sticks

In particular the am5 rig made me think it was 4 different parts before I learned nothing was integrally wrong

[grand kernel]

...huh

the failure mode is very consistent here

[mortal grail]

I replaced the entire x570 rig and it wasn't until everything was swapped that it finally stopped dying

[grand kernel]

it just acts like there's a short as long as I didn't use the psu tester before booting

[mortal grail]

Put it all back...all the original parts

All fixed

Nothing wrong

??????????

[grand kernel]

also, I tested the 2070 super with the 35c hotspot delta that was shutting down

[mortal grail]

I wasted like 3 months on this 💩

[grand kernel]

11c hotspot delta now

[mortal grail]

Ye

One post told me it was my 6900xt

And to get an nvidia card

Well alr

Swapped that in

Same issue

Lmfao

[shut crystal]

I probably should have a case and motherboard with the same form factor

[grand kernel]

so you just took everything apart piece by piece and then put it all back together? lmao

[mortal grail]

Basically

[shut crystal]

Best way to ensure they’d fit

[grand kernel]

it doesn't matter

[mortal grail]

One of the times I swapped a whole new rig in

But it seems consistent

[grand kernel]

just check which form factors the case supports

most atx cases support matx and mitx boards

[mortal grail]

Idk like a rogue charge stuck somewhere? It was really baffling

Nothing was actually broken

In both cases

[grand kernel]

I don't have many spare parts here at school but I did swap in a spare 2070 super and observed no difference in the behavior

[mortal grail]

It was not posting with specific a ram stick on the x670e

Yet I tested it in the other rig and it was fine

It was totally giving that dead stick vibe

[grand kernel]

such a nice hotspot delta after what it was before

love to see it

[mortal grail]

Idk give it a try and see if it works

[grand kernel]

this was the thermal paste coverage on it...

no wonder it was hitting emergency shutdown lmao

[mortal grail]

Oh yeah I remember that now lol

Anyway i g2g

Good luck

[grand kernel]

I gotta sleep

[mortal grail]

Hope it works

[grand kernel]

I'll try rebuilding it later

it's 3:30 am here

should have slept a long time ago but this PC was just such an interesting mystery to me

[shut crystal]

Vies I need to look deeply into the details of the case before I buy it to make sure I can screw and mount my motherboard on it

[elfin mural]

The case details are usually already listed in places that are selling them

But that's a good practice

[proper topaz]

Can anyone clarify that this is a dying ram or a dying ssd BSoD code. SPECIAL_POOL_DETECTED_MEMORY_CORRUPTUON, PFN_LIST_CORRUPT, SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEMPTION

[wary fjord]

run a mem test then

[elfin mural]

memory means ram usually

[shut crystal]

Someone actually told me to buy pc parts from Amazon and I personally don’t wanna do that with Amazon because that’s where I accidentally bought junk ordering other stuff several times

Amazons not for custom building PCs anyway

[elfin mural]

Well, it depends

There's a ton of pc parts that's available on amazon, and you can buy em without getting scammed

As long as you buy from highly rated sellers with a lot of sales, or stuff processed by amazon

It's a pretty nice place

If you have doubts, shop with pcpartpicker

[tranquil pebble]

Amazon does deal with scammers if you tell them about them. I know from experience.

I bought from a scammer on accident once and Amazon support refunded me, banned the scammer and even sent me an email saying the scammer was gone.

[shut crystal]

I could just use pc Part picker. Might be the best spot because it allows you to order parts from anywhere

[elfin mural]

It aggregates the best deals

Not 100% up to date but it's usually good enough

Compiles reliable sellers if it's not official

[wary fjord]

yeah thats not right

u should buy at newegg

that someone is trippin

[mortal grail]

They don't pay me enough to say that tomie

They don't pay me at all

[obsidian berry]

Best Buy points >

Jk

[remote geode]

meow

[wary fjord]

dont worry maybe soon u in the payroll

[mortal grail]

[spark halo]

I honestly trust amazon more than ebay buying pc parts

Higher quality control due to fear of amazon return policy being far superior to ebay.

[elfin mural]

ebay is fine even so

just buy from reputable sellers

[spark halo]

True as well.

[craggy shoal]

bruh I had some artifacting on one of my monitors last night. I swear if it's my GPU already dying

don't even know how that could be given that it's a 6800 XT that we're talking about. it's too new for it to already be dying

[velvet summit]

i want to sneeze but im not sneezing

but my nose is telling me to sneeze

but the sneeze is just not coming

[craggy shoal]

just sneeze

last night I had artifacting but on only only one of my monitors. so I'm not sure whether it's the port on my GPU or if it's my monitor. I've already replaced the cable too

and NOW I don't have embeds

DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) Guide by Pato
https://github.com/NeweggTechie/Graphics-cards/wiki/How-to-use-DDU

[mortal grail]

It's a driver issue, happens when you mess with display settings enough times

[craggy shoal]

not sure if I want to DDU the drivers yet. I also made a couple of custom profiles in Radeon drivers, one that underclocks the GPU and another one that I think I intended to use for games but I forgot what it actually does lol

[mortal grail]

It's happened to me a few times

DDU gets rid of it

The less you mess with drivers really in general, the better

[craggy shoal]

gotcha

[mortal grail]

Export them lol

You can export

Save them and reload them later

[craggy shoal]

yeah that's what I did

[mortal grail]

Lmk how it goes

[craggy shoal]

and just import the best profile for each game (at least the one that I made better sense for each game)

[mortal grail]

I love how this is still a thing nvidia hasn't been able to work out on their 2004 windows XP control panel

[craggy shoal]

fr like I hate having to download MSI Afterburner with my 2080 Super build every time I reinstall Windows

[mortal grail]

Real

Then reload all my old settings I DEFINITELY remember

[wary fjord]

https://tenor.com/view/duck-quack-car-gif-4053942536231336167

[craggy shoal]

@mortal grail so you said changing settings on the monitor causing the artifacting. Would that mean within the monitor's OSD or within Radeon drivers?

[mortal grail]

Within drivers

Nvidia has the same issue sometimes

[craggy shoal]

ah okay

[mortal grail]

Just flicking things, changing refresh, desktop location a lot

Alternating screen layouts

Etcetc

It leads to sometimes serious artifacting or more commonly just an occasional big stutter

[craggy shoal]

it's weird because it started happening basically as soon as I ended the call with my gf last night. I wasn't even changing settings

[mortal grail]

Other times the card can black screen after it starts

[mortal grail]

Idk tbh, yesterday my pc blue screened while taking 10 minutes to restart

[craggy shoal]

actually, I loaded up RDR2 to test something and then it started

[mortal grail]

Hmm

[craggy shoal]

it artifacting on my side monitor, not the one running RDR2

so idk 💀

[mortal grail]

Ye

For me it was my big screen which is my third screen on my XTX

[craggy shoal]

and not the one running the game? that's odd

[mortal grail]

Mhm

It was running wallpaper engine

[craggy shoal]

mine too

hold on imma switch PCs and see if it still does it

Also, running DDU basically would just reset the monitor settings in the GPU drivers, wouldn't it? Like I could just reset them myself rather than using DDU and it'll fix the artifacting, right?

I also don't know whether it would make sense but I'm wondering if it could have been my underclock/undervolt profile being enabled while running RDR2. That's kinda what I'm really wanting to know

[mortal grail]

factory reset is hit or miss

I know not everyone has the same results but for a lot of serious core issues factory reset has been useless for me before

especially stuttering

absolutely useless for stuttering

[craggy shoal]

gotcha

might as well flush everything then. that makes sense

also, haven't had any issues yet

[mortal grail]

Navi 21 has been very good with drivers for a while

honestly my 6900XT rig has been basically flawless apart from the grey screen issue that mysteriously vanished without a trace, as if nothing was wrong

[remote geode]

would switching to alt bios would help

[craggy shoal]

@mortal grail also this. I just loaded the game up and still haven't had any issues. I also haven't had any issues since changing profiles (this profile is basically defaults except for a better fan curve)

[mortal grail]

ymmv

[remote geode]

what

vbios I mean

[mortal grail]

yes

ymmv

your mileage may vary

[craggy shoal]

ah

[remote geode]

slightly tired and emotional at the moment

[mortal grail]

I'm fine

takes a lot to bug me

[remote geode]

oh i mean, i just had quite some to drink

[mortal grail]

oh

[remote geode]

my mind may not be functioning properly

[mortal grail]

lol

[craggy shoal]

bruh I just found that I have "Freesync", "Adaptive Sync Compatible", and "Wait for Vertical Refresh" all on (plus v-sync in COD) 💀

what was I thinking

[mortal grail]

you only need one of those

💀

[craggy shoal]

VRR, right?

[remote geode]

you should be golden now

[mortal grail]

Freesync and adaptive are both vrr no

[craggy shoal]

I've heard VRR is basically better. maybe not exactly better performance but just more compatible

maybe I'm wrong though

[mortal grail]

gsync, freesync, adaptive sync are all decent

2024 they've all come up good

[craggy shoal]

I'll pick one of them lol

[remote geode]

only if 24' monitors here would've costed less than $100

even second hand

still relying on a 2010 ASUS monitor I OCed to 74hz

it is 1080p though

IPS

[craggy shoal]

Sometimes Walmart has 165Hz 1080 monitors that are only $100

kinda nuts but it's true

[shut crystal]

Yeah I accidentally bought other junk from here. I mean I like Amazon but it’s just not a place for pc parts

[mental yoke]

😲

[young matrix]

Disable vertical sync

[craggy shoal]

done

[young matrix]

Vsync increases latency

[craggy shoal]

@young matrix Also, perfect that you're here. I'm just about to get those Bsun Pine switches that you mentioned a couple weeks ago. Is KeebsForAll a safe site to purchase them from?

[young matrix]

Yea

Keebsforall is the goat

[craggy shoal]

Thanks just making sure

At first I was thinking of lubing the switches I'm already using but I've started to notice that they're having some chattering issues (double-pressing on single-presses). I have a program to fix it but it's not the greatest

[leaden pewter]

Ooo not a single mile on this one

I added the first mile woo

[atomic current]

you could probably reset it every time with a little hacker box thingy lol

[chrome mirage]

You drive it out of the factory or something?

[leaden pewter]

Pretty much

I drive and deliver new vehicles to different properties

[wary fjord]

if i remember theres a hole something on those thing u hold it and it reset the odo

xD

not all cars built like that i guess

[leaden pewter]

Its a 2024 Toyota 4runner

[chrome mirage]

I remember working at a dealership and when new cars came in they would always have at least have 10 miles on them.

[leaden pewter]

Roughly 1-5 miles is avg for new for when I get ahold

0 is a rare for me

[chrome mirage]

My 86 had 150 miles on it when I picked it up from the dealership

[atomic current]

put fresh off the factory floor into the autorack? or whatever brings them to you

I feel like it's better to have a hundred or so miles on it before it gets into your hands unless quality control is just not a priority in the process

[leaden pewter]

More miles just means there's been some breaking in on the engine

[chrome mirage]

Or it means someone was test driving it and revving it too high

[atomic current]

what car these days doesn't have a rev limiter lol

[leaden pewter]

Mazdas with rotary

Boxer engines don't like to be revved before they are broken in.

[atomic current]

so do you idle it for several weeks or something

[chrome mirage]

The manual says to keep it under 4000 RPM until it's past it's break in period

interesting

also the 2024 jeep wagoneer I drove had a 3.0L V6 twin turbo under the hood

I'm trying to convince my dad to get a TRX

I bet the hellcat engine is really good at pulling trailers

[leaden pewter]

If a Prius can tow a boat a trailer on a hellcat shouldn't be too much of an issue

[rancid juniper]

breh

[atomic current]

it's not like trailers have been towed for over a hundred years or something

Just poked the microphone hole on my s21 trying to remove the SIM card
I literally had to watch Jerry's video to understand that nothing happens of you do so... Luckily

[tranquil pebble]

you'd have to "poke" it REALLY hard to cause damage lol

[brittle lynx]

I did

[paper verge]

put it in rice

[brittle lynx]

But I don't think it caused any problems

[brittle lynx]

Crazy I haven't thought of that

[paper verge]

my phone fell into a water of bucket once

and i proceeded to put it in rice

i feel like it really doesnt do anything

i just felt dumb

[brittle lynx]

It does help but also doesn't, sometimes the "powder" that comes from rice will build up in your ports and eventually make the phone dirtier

And it's not easy to clean up

this game died so hard

[mortal grail]

I've stopped playing

[rancid juniper]

HMMM?

[rancid juniper]

stopped playing way back

no fun

[mortal grail]

I had different reasons for stopping tho

Some of it being the leagues are just empty rn and full of toxic drama

Built on the fact the game can't be consistent at all
