what's wrong is somebody's pressed about it kekw

#

They donโ€™t even quote video games, they quote like what Andrew Tate said on tiktok kekw

It's not about just quoting, it's acting like there's a viable philosophy behind it worth living by

Guys, I'm in a really unexpected situation. I ordered a computer with a new egg back on March 22nd.
I ordered it on presale so I've been waiting for the last few days for it to be in stock and for the seller to give me a shipping date. On the 28th I got a message that the payment didn't go through, I went to the bank and told them it was my payment so they could charge me. I was happy and just waited. Yesterday I spent the whole day communicating with the seller directly through the mail, so they just said they were waiting for information from new egg to update my order status and confirm payment. I continued to wait

This morning I tried to log into my account to believe the order status and I just couldn't. When I enter my email I get the message "Oops! There's an issue with your account. If you'd like us to look into this for you, please click here."
I filled out this form but it takes 2 business days to process and I just don't know what's going on with my order and money. Has anyone encountered this? This is my first time on a new egg and I don't understand anything yet. I paid $2200 and exactly one day after being charged I can't log into my account.

@digital thunder

#

I'm very confused right now because I've seen some bad reviews on reddit but I not believed what I saw and thought it was a spoof.

wary fjord

they wont read that here

#

@digital thunder dm them

non of this earthlings here work at newegg

#

the one u tagged

#

u can dm them

#

about ur concern

#

๐Ÿ™‚

coral sand
#

Got it. I texted them thank you. I'm really scared because it looks like I'm a total dummy who got scammed out of $2,200

#

No problems logging in before I didn't pay

wary fjord
#

it will get sort out dont worry.. 2 grand is too small for newegg worth ๐Ÿ™‚

#

prepare ur recipts and stuff i guess if they replied back

sinful blade
coral sand
#

I noticed they refunded my money. I'm not sure what the reason is because all I did was create an account, order a computer and wait. Then I got a statement from the bank that they did get my money and now I got the full amount back and my account is suspended.

#

Why did this happen?

All the pieces usually just snap in.

#

Iโ€™m oversimplifying, but it really does boil down to that. You save hundreds of dollars by just DIY

#

@coral sand what would be your budget?

I need a rtx video card, no other, that's the problem

I'm just terribly upset about the egg situation. I really sat on a powder keg for two weeks to get what I paid for and I ended up getting banned

Saved you $200 and upgraded along the way

Almost 200**

Suggest a pc is fine, they just suggest prebuilts a lot

#

The 7800x3d is a very cool cpu, so you donโ€™t need a fancy AIO cooler for it

Man I could have gotten a g360a instead

and saved some money

That case is with a rebate

Ah

#

Long story short, I'm in a panic with $2,200 in my pocket

#

I recently moved to America and I still don't understand why having money you can't just buy what you need, you have to go through a ton of problems where you are denied and blocked for wanting to buy something DAMN

#

The most frustrating part isn't even how it works, it's that I waited two weeks and now the price of the computer has gone up and I got a refund. So my order was canceled and my account was blocked because someone wanted it that way

Intel would work better if you were doing serious workloads; but it offers poorer performance for gaming.

I'm hoping I can use a TT W7+ in the build I've been spending way too much time being frustrated by

pure flax

64gb of ddr4 ram 3200mhz.

pure flax

I tried running 64gb on 5900x but 4 DIMMs got too hot lol

pure flax
#

My Xbox series X has 11tb of storage. More then my PC.

idle nexus
#

plus it was two different sets & didn't look right

#

how many M.2s does your board support?

pure flax
#

Just two gen4 and gen3.

idle nexus
#

you might be able to put one of those PCIe card things to add M.2s but it'll like drop your GPU to x8 PCIe

#

I think that's the same as my B550 supported

pure flax
#

I have two GPU a rx480 and rx6800XT.

idle nexus
#

can't really do much besides SATA drives unless you wanna shell out the $ for like 4tb M.2s

pure flax
#

I was going to get a Sata 8Tb for cheaper from Samsung.

idle nexus
#

I think there are a couple TeamGroup M.2s that are 4tb for alright price

pure flax
#

If I did the NVMe 8tb I would of paid an extra 500.

idle nexus
#

what do you do that benefits from two different GPUs like that?

pure flax
#

Crypto mining.

idle nexus
#

what coin is worth mining now? All I've heard is high core count AM5 CPUs can be profitable but didn't know it was really worth doing for GPU anymore

pure flax
#

I just use nicehash miner.

#

Kvava.

sour falcon
#

BAXTER STOCKFLYYYY

idle nexus
#

I wouldn't say this is cheap exactly but for 4tb eh

#

PCIe 3.0 eh

sour falcon
#

it was like 249 for like 4 months straight

idle nexus
#

< $20 more for PCIe gen 4 seems worth it

#

thing is tho, if you're gonna put up that much $ for 4tb drive, might as well go a little further for a good one imo

pure flax
#

I don't think 4TB is enough for my 150 games library.

idle nexus
#

eh maybe not that's like another $100 or so

tranquil pebble
idle nexus
#

heck this is nice but $300 ouch

sour falcon

pure flax
#

I pick western digital 850x 4TB.

I was probably gonna pull the 1tb Hynix P41 from benching setup too

#

damn Hynix P41 1TB is $90 rn

#

2tb $140

#

I think there's a Sabrent Rocket gen 4 1tb I can pull from benching setup & use too

sour falcon
#

Shouldโ€™ve boughten it last year :/

idle nexus
#

just kinda seems silly to have 4 1tb drives tho

sour falcon
idle nexus
#

the most compelling reason to do that is I already own them lol

pure flax
#

Or two 4tb drive.

idle nexus
#

like iirc RAID 1 is like treating two drives as a single drive so system can pull from two sources at the same time

#

RAID with a higher number is for redundency

#

like in a server

#

so if you have an array with like 4 drives & one fails, you can replace it & restore everything

pure flax
#

I have never had my Drive failed on me. Western digital last a very long time.

idle nexus
#

makes more sense for like massive storage HDDs

#

or for RAID 0 it made more sense back when SSDs were expensive enough that people used HDDs for gaming & what not

#

like if you're stuck using HDDs that have read speeds around like 100-150mb/s

#

running them in RAID meant you could access data quicker in a noticeable way

#

nowadays even relatively inexpensive M.2s like that 1tb Hynix P41 top out at like 7000mb/s

#

so putting two of those in RAID wouldn't really make sense

#

cuz with speeds like that, I doubt even a single P41 would ever be the bottleneck, let alone, two of them in RAID

pure flax
#

I never used raid. Before.

idle nexus
#

I have (kinda randomly) 5 or 6 of these PNY SSDs that are only 250gb

#

I tried to set up RAID just to try it for a benchmark on hwbot but they ended up being way too slow anyway lol

pure flax
#

I'm kind of scared of using raid because of data loss.

idle nexus
#

I think it's really only worth doing for enterprise/data centers with insane amounts of data on HDDs or just for redundency so you don't lose data

pure flax
#

Right on.

idle nexus
#

plus I think you basically cut the total storage in half doing it

#

like I'm pretty sure if you had two 8TB HDDs in RAID0, the computer wouldn't only see the two as a single 8TB storage device

pure flax
#

I have an extra ryzen 5600 and 3600 but need a new motherboard for it.

#

To build a server PC.

idle nexus
#

you couldn't probably get one pretty heckin cheap on ebay or something

#

like even B450 or something

pure flax
#

I was thinking 450. Or 550.

idle nexus
#

heck I think even x370 & b350 support Zen 3

#

I dunno if you even need to go with something that old. B550 new is like $140

pure flax
#

My old 450 broke on me when removing the m.2 because I brick the board.

rich burrow
#

will my cpu fan be ok without the rgb cable?

idle nexus
rich burrow
#

i donโ€™t have a 4 pin on my motherboard

rich burrow
idle nexus
#

don't try to plug it into the 3-pin. It would plug in but be a really bad idea lol

#

which board?

pure flax
#

I want to go with asus or gigabyte.

rich burrow
#

b450m gaming plus asus

idle nexus
#

well not as bad as if you managed to plug a 3-pin into a 4-pin cuz 3-pin is 5v argb & 4-pin is 12v rgb

rich burrow
#

oh

#

can i get like a converter?

#

like a 4 pin to 3 pin

#

does that exist

pure flax
#

Yes

idle nexus
#

the 12v rgb isn't addressable

pure flax
#

I was thinking of power supply cable one 8 pins to two six pins.

idle nexus
#

like you can't have it just turn, e.g., LED number 48 to purple or something

#

which you can do with the 3-pin argb

#

cuz 4-pin pinout is actually wire 1 red, wire 2 green, wire 3 blue, & wire 4 negative

#

whereas 3-pin is just positive, negative, data

#

not necessarily in that order but the point being that 4-pin is like analog where colors are made by increasing intensity of r, g, or b

#

3-pin actually has a data signal telling each LED what combination of r, g, & b to run

idle nexus
rich burrow
#

oof

#

ima see if the fan spins

#

yeah my pc is gonna explode

#

oh well

#

my fans started speeding up

#

oh crap

idle nexus
rich burrow
#

oh

#

wait what?

sour falcon
#

mine ramp up when i launch opera gx

rich burrow
#

my rgb and fan is working

#

so what is the other 3 pin for

#

what the heck

idle nexus
#

cuz could be for "daisy chain" meaning you can connect additional fans directly to that fan instead of having to connect each fan to motherboard header

rich burrow
#

separate i think

#

itโ€™s just a regular 3 pin connecter iโ€™m guessing the actual cable for the cpu fan is all in one i guess

idle nexus
# rich burrow separate i think

btw I couldn't find a cheaper one of these but I'm sure they exist. I have one of these. It connects to your motherboard on one of the USB 2.0 headers & you can control RGB from software in windows. the Razer software itself is pretty decent for controlling rgb but it also installs all sorts of unnecessary crap. I never install the Razer software & use OpenRGB to control it instead https://www.amazon.com/Razer-Chroma-Addressable-Controller-Compatibility/dp/B08K3TYWP6/ref=sr_1_1?

rich burrow
#

alright

idle nexus
#

but something like that would give you a place to install up to 6 rgb devices & control up to 80 lights with it

rich burrow
#

btw i have the cooler master 212 halo white

#

my cpu fan

idle nexus
#

that's the one that controls the fan

elfin mural
#

ah yes

rich burrow
#

ohhh

elfin mural
#

the hyper 212

rich burrow
#

wait so i canโ€™t use software on it?

elfin mural
#

cooler design from over a decade ago

#

you can use software to control fan speed

#

or within the bios

idle nexus
#

which is the one in the dude's hand there

#

it'll have like two circles right next to each other then a space & one more circle if you're looking straight at it

rich burrow
#

alright

idle nexus
#

since your board only has 4-pin rgb 12v, you can't connect the argb lights

#

something simple like this can connect to SATA power from your PSU & make the fan light up https://www.amazon.com/ZCZQC-Controller-Plastic-Supply-Stripe/dp/B09HGJRNTQ/ref=sr_1_1?

#

the problem is, the only way to control it would be pressing the buttons on this thing

#

to answer your earlier question, something like this could convert 12v from the motherboard to 5v for argb. You could use motherboard software or connect it to the reset switch on your PC case but neither is a great option since it wouldn't really give you full functionality the way an rgb hub controlled by software thru usb would

elfin mural
#

for a sec i thought zotac made an argb controller

idle nexus
#

& speaking from experience, CoolerMaster's RGB software is terrible

#

dunno if OpenRGB could control it offhand

#

it's actually kind of annoying how few things there are to do this lol

#

ehh you might do better getting fans that include a usb hub

elfin mural
#

@mortal grail i saw your comment on that gn case vid kekw

hollow ferry
#

Meta quest 3 worth?

elfin mural
#

liked it btw

mortal grail
#

Thx, didn't expect it to explode

elfin mural
idle nexus
# rich burrow alright

instead of spending $30+ on a device that will let you control the fan on your CPU cooler only, you could get three fans that match your CPU cooler fan for $61 and include a hub that can connect to your motherboard & be controlled with CM software. CM decided to be stingy & only put 3 argb connections on the heckin argb controller, but each fan has an argb extender, so if any two are next to each other they can share & you can use one of three connections for your CPU fan argb

elfin mural
idle nexus
#

(picture of device on the left shows 3 argb headers, you'd have to connect two fans to a single header using argb extender thing to make all 4 work)

hollow ferry
#

I might be able to cop one for less than 400

#

So I was he

#

*jw

idle nexus
#

(middle picture of device shows USB Micro connection that should be able to connect to USB 2.0 header on your motherboard so you can control it with software in Windows)

elfin mural
#

that's a decent price

The funniest thing is that they are made by the same game developer but most of the core people who made the 2012 game left

before you start googling I'm joking

velvet summit

like, an app that can use pen pressure?

pliant berry

like to use an app with pressure like clip studio, photoshop. but windows needs ink enabled to use pressure. ink sucks cuz sometimes it will lock the mouse on initial contact

it will overide what windows going on in life xD

it's truly ass when adobe blocks old versions tho

pliant berry

#

oh maybe in canada

mortal grail
#

If you mean the gamut I disagree tho

#

I've been convinced at this point davinci resolve is genuinely better

pliant berry
#

The only big complaint I have with adobe is probably how stingy they've been lately. I share my sub with someone and we both use different sets of apps. recently started getting flagged "unusual account activity your account only supports 2 computers 1 user please upgrade"

mortal grail
#

Can only have two devices on the account yep

mental yoke
#

They explicitly prohibit account sharing in ToS except as permitted and it is not just Adobe

mortal grail
#

No one cares about that tho

pliant berry
#

yeah only now they are saying, oh you are using both devices at once?? no no you can't do that

mortal grail
#

You pay basically enterprise fees at this point

#

It's ridiculous

Who even uses lightroom anyway when they know how to use photoshop? Lol

pliant berry

Just use photoshop

crude wolf
mortal grail
#

It's literally photoshop lite

pliant berry
#

photoshop is too slow when you are trying to batch edit 100-500 photos. lightroom is good for skimming and preset editing

crude wolf
pliant berry
#

photoshop you only really use if you need some more advanced correction or editing

mortal grail

#

im not an artist but i see a ton of artists i know use ps

pliant berry
#

I made the mistake once of editing one event with photoshop only, took me like 10 hours to get through everything because of all the opening and closing of tabs

elfin mural
#

.psd files are so common

#

but then again

#

not like exporting in .psd is ps exclusive lol

mortal grail
#

I will sit down and make each image I pick as good as it can get

mighty hazel
#

Idk about photoshop but on premiere it takes surprisingly little time to export even on gtx cards

crude wolf
#

you make a mistake in blender

mighty hazel
crude wolf
#

you spend hours redoing the edit you accidentally made

wary fjord
#

you can run photoshop to use your gpu for hardware acceleration than ur cpu

mighty hazel
pliant berry
#

I think that's really just the difference of casual vs pro. trust me when you take anywhere from 500-2000 images a day you aren't trying to perfect every single one xD

elfin mural
#

id think using an ipad+procreate is better for artists

#

you literally pay once for the app

crude wolf
mortal grail
#

I mean I'm not going to just change 500 at once, I rather pick from the 500

#

Then edit one by one

mighty hazel
#

My iPad crashes on the video editing app for some reason kekw

#

Not enough ram I guess :/

pliant berry
#

procreate is a little too simple for some people from what I've seen. a more complete competitor would probably be clip studio since they also have 1 time licenses

mortal grail
#

I'm also a perfectionist at heart

elfin mural
#

hm ye

#

i mean clip studio is also on ipad

mortal grail
#

So really calling it casual vs pro is a bit misrepresented

#

It's just the way we do things, we prefer different approaches

wary fjord
#

it takes time until u find the software you really comfortable with

#

then it has performance issue

#

xD

crude wolf
#

And you gonna have to store more projects

mortal grail
#

I'm so used to PS I can pump out a pic in 15 minutes or I can sit down for hours making it perfect, I just don't see the appeal in batch editing

crude wolf
pliant berry
#

it's just that when you do it for a job you realize how much workflow can impact turnaround time.
I have a paid app now that is solely for panning through images and rating them, but that is a stupid investment for vast majority of people. I only got it because it saved me a few hours a day in waiting for render times

mortal grail
#

Call me weird idk

mighty hazel

Has to be a buttload of rapid shutter tho

or make a script for it

mortal grail
crude wolf
mortal grail
#

I often bring up threadripper, gen 5 ssd's etc

#

For people that genuinely you can see the need

crude wolf
#

and make your own panning software

#

Or just make a Ai

pliant berry
#

yeah, I thought it was stupid but when you start going through so many I realized lightroom's image renderer just took too long for that. Usually I have to filter through and edit a batch in about an hour or 2

crude wolf
#

that can go through hundreds of images faster

sinful blade
#

Gimme your crayons

crude wolf
mortal grail
#

I haven't ever really found myself at the point where I'd lose hours through filtering

mortal grail
#

Not really the kind of person to snap every pic I see tho

pliant berry
#

yeah that's why it's a really niche program

wary fjord
#

use GAN for image + Reinforcement Learning train ai to do your job xD

mortal grail
#

I graduated from that ages ago lol

mortal grail
#

Though you know what grinds my gears

#

When people boast that they edited with lightroom

#

Not what you're saying

#

But you know when people share

crude wolf
#

there will still be people looking for the perfect angle

mortal grail
#

It's just like "ok yeah you put basic filters on like it's instagram"

#

Well done lmao

pliant berry
#

lightroom presets are also advertised everywhere. it's annoying

wary fjord
#

lightroom is magic xD

crude wolf

Though I've seen some presets that are actually really useful

crude wolf

They probably some opportunists

pliant berry
