I’m going to college for engineering. I need a laptop. here’s some things that the faculty says is recommended.
-windows 11
-64 bit
-8 gb ram works but if i can get 16 that would be better
-4 gb video ram
-512 gb hard drive, personally i prefer a ssd tho.
-i prefer a touchscreen laptop, just with the work i’d be doing it would make it so much easier.
-windows is proffered over mac bcs mac may not support the applications i will need.
mortal grail
hmmmm
would a drawing pad work?
one you can plug in
surface
you're thinking of surface
adding touch screen to it can make it terribly expensive
dire light
that has a detachable keyboard right
mortal grail
yes
were it me
I'm very familiar with engineering
I'd instead of a touch screen
get a 3dmouse
just the basic 3dconnexion
makes a huge difference
and then a decent laptop

@dire light https://www.amazon.com/3Dconnexion-SpaceMouse-Wireless-universal-receiver/dp/B079V367MM/
to me a bigger deal than a touch screen
you'd use that with a decent mouse
any decent gaming mouse is more than good
then for a laptop, you'd go to best buy
then get a second 8gb sodimm
and cram it in there
or get this straight up
the intel tufs aren't as good as the ryzen tufs of this model, but they're still decent
that should be more than enough for engineering studies
anything more extreme you'd be working probably on campus with their own systems that would have like
probably 10 series quadros or 20 series or something lol

i’m not too fond on a 3d mouse

kind of a staple tool in engineering modelling tho
in a lot of stuff tbh

mortal grail
I think game designers use these too
dire light
maybe as my first year i can just go with a surface
then if i need more get a 3d mouse
mortal grail
I mean up to you
it's gonna cost a lot for a touch screen though and decent specs for cad
try and aim for a cpu that has 6 or more cores and doesn't have a P in the name
dire light
I mean up to you
without a 3d mouse and my specs, what do u recommend?

Everyone in the fn scene says 10 is better but then again it’s fn kids

but in general 11 vs 10 is either a completely negligible difference or a tiny bit in favor of 11

either way it's not game changing but a new PC in 2024 might as well not install an OS that's losing support in one year

or is black fine
coz there's this
i would swap fans asap tho
and get these fans
the stock fans in the pop air aren't pwm and they don't last long
clear mulch
Okay let me send these over to him
Thank you he said he will look into options later he has to get to work
This case looks really spacious
Or is it because it’s empty
elfin mural
it's a big case
elfin mural
mid tower atx so
worthy tapir
I can attest to those fans. Been using them for about 7 months now and they are great.
clear mulch
Yeah I see it looks super cool tho
So he will need a case upgrade and psu and gpu
He’s got a 550
Wat
1660 super

I've started a BIOS update (freshly downloaded BIOS file renamed via the renamer program in an otherwise empty thumb drive in the correct slot for BIOS updates)
And the moment I start it, the PC shuts down and it just gets an "on state" (so lights are on rainbow puke and CPU cooler fan spinning) with zero display output

ram training usually
you might need cmos reset too
devout forum
Uh
During a BIOS update?
devout forum
Like I started the update and it's like the PSU tripped
elfin mural
that's wrong
devout forum
And then it restarts to a locked state
clear mulch
Take the battery out for some time or use the button if you have it
devout forum
Fan is spinning, light is rainbow, no display out
devout forum
I don't think it's a PSU cut
clear mulch
Bios updates are always scary no matter how many times you do it
elfin mural
He likes nvidia
nvidia offers no benefit for gaming anymore tbh
other than shadowplay i guess
clear mulch
What can I say he likes them
elfin mural
dlss? amd has fsr 3
devout forum
So it basically just restarts immediately and never actually gets started on the BIOS update
elfin mural
and it's moddable into all games
clear mulch
Without dlss games don’t run now days
clear mulch
Some games
elfin mural
fsr 3 is dlss but better
i would say tho
paying the same price for less perf
that's nvidia rn
clear mulch
I play 4k single player games max settings needs dlss support to run a stable frame
clear mulch
I will try and talk some sense into him when I see him he’s coming here next week
elfin mural
he wouldn't regret anything, i can assure ya
but if he's convinced with nvidia, id try to look for open box
clear mulch
Yewh he’s new to pc tech always on google reading peoples opinions so he gets confused
I honestly would never buy used or open boxes parts always new even if full price idk just for a warranty for a year incase something happens I can rma so they don’t ask him well yeah ofc it’s open box your fault we can’t rma it
clear mulch
Yeah I will see what he says I can’t force him obviously
clear mulch
I bought my 3080ti from Amazon for around 2k or less I think
elfin mural
during covid?
elfin mural
ah
elfin mural
times were rough that year
clear mulch
Ikr I was beginning to find a deal no deals
I even tried to set up a bot to buy them
It was like the apocalypse of gpus
clear mulch
Did it not get fixed
Does it have a vbios flash back
Some boards have them idk which
Incase of a power outage or something I think
devout forum
no the BIOS flash started
but then it killed itself
luckily a CMOS reset solved the problem so the actual BIOS wasn't corrupted
but the board is NOT working as intended
clear mulch
How you mean
devout forum
Basically I started the update
clear mulch
A shop will tell you board is bricked and charge you labor and for new board maybe they scam like this they do it here where I’m at
devout forum
the "in progress" bar appears then it's as if the PSU shuts down, then the whole PC restarts into a hard locked state
devout forum
A shop will tell you board is bricked and charge you labor and for new board may...
oh they built the tower
so they're legally obligated to fix it free of charge
devout forum
they went for 3 years parts and labor warranty
devout forum
Did you try the update again
tried to do it like 3 times on 2 different BIOS versions
Same result every time, PC bricks itself and needs CMOS reset to bring back to life
devout forum
from day 1?
clear mulch
Idk stuff happens
devout forum
it's been this way for the last 6 months
and there is no other sign of a CMOS battery dying
everything is perfectly fine otherwise
clear mulch
Very weird I had pc shut off from power but not like this
devout forum
it specifically only happens when I try to update BIOS
clear mulch
How old is the version
devout forum
IIRC pretty much release version
clear mulch
You could try to install a new battery and check updates again tho I don’t think it will make a difference
Take it back to the shop
devout forum
I doubt it has any connection to the CMOS battery
but I'll take it back to the shop
clear mulch
Probably the bios chip
devout forum
and tell them to EFFING fix it
devout forum
Probably the bios chip
this mobo has been just cursed from day 1
Bluetooth never worked right, BIOS can't be updated
devout forum
I thought I'd be good with an Asus board (considering I used an Asus laptop for 9 years straight without any issues)
and then once I got the desktop there has been nothing but mobo issues
clear mulch
I use everything asus
Sometimes they are just bad
Don’t stress over it and see what the shop says
devout forum
I am 100% getting a new board one way or another
probably tell them to replace it with an identical board
clear mulch
I power mine on to browse YouTube now don’t even game anymore
devout forum
or if they don't I'll just buy a new board and migrate everything over myself
devout forum
ye that is my idea too
just need to internalize that I will be missing my rig for like a week or 2
unless I first get a job, buy a new case and board and just transfer everything myself at the cost of no warranty anymore
clear mulch
Just don’t tell them you tried to fix it or update they will blame you don’t tell them you opened it
devout forum
nah I'll just say "I heard the new BIOS makes things better, you guys can handle it for me right?"
clear mulch
Yeah should do fine or normal maintenance for updates or enable new settings
With in bios
They always eat it
Good luck
devout forum
it's gonna suck tho
honestly
I might just say screw it and stomach the cost of a new board
depending on whether I get the job I applied for
clear mulch
Nah take it in first see what they say
Why spend if they can replace them free if they have warranty or bricked parts
crisp drift
Hey guys I need your guys help I need to update my intel motherboard
clear mulch
Is it laptop or desktop
clear mulch
Just take it to the shop no loss if you check with them tho
devout forum
I did register it with Asus
devout forum
well I don't have anything submitted yet
about to tho
well
site says "This product cannot be registered here"
devout forum
it's already registered
clear mulch
Yeah ik how that feels it sucks

Apple has to translate x86 through Rosetta

Because x64 CPUs have the x86 instruction set as well
