[static otter]

Id keep my ssd and get a cpl more ssds tho, again, ark takes so much space lmao

[hoary zodiac]

or a mobile gpu

[static otter]

Like, a phone gpu?

[hoary zodiac]

laptop

[static otter]

Oh

[hoary zodiac]

They've gotten a lot better since RTX 2000

[worthy meteor]

2tb ssds are just around 100$ now so it won't be too bad

[hoary zodiac]

3070 mobile has 115W tdp

so if power consumption is your primary concern

you can squeeze a lot of frames out of a mobile gpu while being significantly more power efficient

[static otter]

Ill probs just wait on the gpu upgrade till i move to KY in March lol, ill be in a house come then and wont need to worry about power as much

[hoary zodiac]

oh so it's not a big concern

yeah not worth swapping platforms then

[worthy meteor]

But it also means your overall performance on 3000 mobile is dependent on the power limit of that particular laptop

[hoary zodiac]

very true

[worthy meteor]

Since they squeeze the pl down a lot

[hoary zodiac]

and also cooling

my strix has beefy heatpipes and I think 140w? so for me it's fine

but iirc aren't there 3070 laptops that's severely handicapped?

or even 3080 ones

[worthy meteor]

Absolute minimum might be 65w? I also remember some 95w ones

[dusk knot]

[hoary zodiac]

for a 3070?

might as well get a 3060 at that point

[worthy meteor]

Ye

[worthy meteor]

But they exist

[hoary zodiac]

Isn't that the case for 3080 laptops as well

[worthy meteor]

Ye

[hoary zodiac]

they're so handicapped by power and cooling that there's no real reason to get it over a 3070

[worthy meteor]

Unless you get a high pl one

[hoary zodiac]

but at that point is it even a laptop

I mean no there is a very real use case for it

as a portable workstation

[worthy meteor]

I think 3070 and 3080 mobile at the same power limit have a <10% difference

[hoary zodiac]

so I can't really slam it

[worthy meteor]

But there's more higher pl 3080 models

[hoary zodiac]

but at that point

probably better to wait for next gen

[worthy meteor]

Right now def

[hoary zodiac]

actually I'm gonna check 4070 vs 3080

In theory wouldn't a 4070 with a high pl be able to match a 3080 with high pl?

[worthy meteor]

Should be able to

[hoary zodiac]

yeah that's what makes me iffy about top tier laptops

loses out on a lot of the conveniences of having a laptop

and unless it's top-top tier with a high power limit

generally pretty meh for the price

unless it's for a specific use case where that much power in a compact form factor is necessary

[sinful blade]

4060 is $275 on Newegg

Wack

[hoary zodiac]

market returning to pre covid standards???

[frosty sinew]

My dell optiplex 7010 keeps turning on and off every 2 seconds, checked cmos, psu ram, drives, cooler, reaseated cpu

Ang ideas?

[hoary zodiac]

could you be a bit more specific?

[frosty sinew]

What parts?

[hoary zodiac]

did it blue screen or is it just bootlooping

[frosty sinew]

No post

[hoary zodiac]

hmm

[frosty sinew]

On then off

[hoary zodiac]

try to unplug the drives first

[frosty sinew]

1 stick of ram, no drives reseated cpu

Only cpu fan and power button

I can get it to post by turning everything off fully and it will post once, and then as soon as I shut it off it will do the same again

[light egret]

did you swap to the other stick of ram and try different ram slots?

If you can get it to post, go into recovery mode and use the recovery tools. You can try startup repair first, and if that doesn't work try to restore to a backup and see if that works.

[light egret]

I better get some of these covid bitcoins I'm mining rn

[topaz crown]

`UserBenchmark is NOT a reliable source of information and has been blanket banned in many hardware communities such as r/hardware and r/intel for what started as an anti-AMD bias but has spiraled into delusion.

In fact, they tried so hard to skew results in favor of Intel's midrange that they even cannibalized Intel's own high end. For example, according to UserBenchmark, the i3-9350K is rated higher than the i9-10980XE.

For a similarly convenient quick-and-dirty hardware comparison website, we recommend using PassMark instead of UserBenchmark.

[mortal grail]

Sorry borrowing this

[frosty sinew]

Reset all of the bios settings, and service menu says everything is good

[light egret]

What all do you have plugged into the PC?

and was there any changes you made right before this started?

[hoary zodiac]

dust?

I've seen a pc that was so filled with dust that it just blue screened randomly

UNTIL all the dust was cleared out

[silver sparrow]

You vs the guy she told you not to worry about

[hoary zodiac]

the ssd or the hdd

[silver sparrow]

"You" specificly refers to the hdd thats easily 110F to the touch

[hoary zodiac]

and also very noisy

[silver sparrow]

Its vibrations can be felt through the floor

[hoary zodiac]

speaking of vibrations

not very fun to move

transporting HDDs adds a lot of bulk

[silver sparrow]

Ive had this hdd not solidly mounted in the pc through 3 moves, 2 trips to the storage unit, and its still alive.... somehow

It just flops about

[hoary zodiac]

small vibrations are fine

but large vibrations

say turbulance from an aircraft that leads to an unprotected hdd to shake around in your bag

[silver sparrow]

its probably the arm interacting with the disks im feeling through the floor

[hoary zodiac]

lmao

[silver sparrow]

the disk has been unhappy for the past while

[hoary zodiac]

usually my fans drown out the disk noise

[silver sparrow]

it sounds like a good old diamond wet disk very slowly grinding away at something

the hdd has all my server files on it, and im going to be switching to the ssd

it likes to be stuck at 100% disk usage for very small tasks

like running windows on idle

i mean sureeee, theres a server running, but its not even using much disk

[hoary zodiac]

random read speed? what's that?

[silver sparrow]

never heard of it

BESIDES ITS A GAMER SYSTEM it cant be slowed down

[frosty sinew]

I added a gtx 970

The psu is standard I checked all the pins against the other one

[light egret]

did you try swapping it back and seeing if the problem persists?

[frosty sinew]

Yep

[light egret]

did you DDU?

[frosty sinew]

What's that

No gpu same issue

But what's confusing me

[icy ore]

Ddu = DooDooUnderneath

[frosty sinew]

If I turn of psu and hold power burron for a few seconds

[opaque sedge]

The 7900xt is kind of a weird card ngl, its kinda overkill for 1440p but pretty sucky for 4k

[frosty sinew]

Turn power back on, it'll post

But then as soon as it shuts down again it won't go back on

[opaque sedge]

now what might be going on here

[light egret]

idk why but I just watched the video and the way it's acting seems off to me, even for what you described. Maybe the PSU is bad? Try double checking absolutely all connections from the PSU on both ends and making sure they are connected properly.

[frosty sinew]

Across 3 psus and same issue

[light egret]

you could also take the PSU out (unplug from everything) and do the paperclip test to see if it is doing that on it's own.

[opaque sedge]

i would like to revise my words its not sucky for 4k but some settings will likely be compromised and may not give the best visual experience or gaming experience to people who aren't very susceptible to more pixel density

[light egret]

oh weird.

[frosty sinew]

Mods

[opaque sedge]

like for performaance?

[frosty sinew]

Within .3v on all the rails

[opaque sedge]

also i just booted up my pc and windows 11 has 8 gigs of my 32 gigs of ram hostage...

[light egret]

im honestly at a loss then. I'd take it down to barebones (cpu, 1 stick ram) if you have iGpu and see if it stops

it might be a short somewhere

[frosty sinew]

But only after 1 boot?

[opaque sedge]

some defender and quickstart for frequently used application kind of tool apparently

[mortal grail]

Normal

If it said you have only 2gb available then we have a problem

[elfin mural]

^

[light egret]

that's what I don't understand. It could be a driver conflict or something which is why I suggested restoring to a backup

[opaque sedge]

"i had my first hit and run at the tender age of 6 years old, it was scary running away from them cops"

[frosty sinew]

But it won't even get to bios

With no boot drive

[light egret]

it should be able to enter bios without boot drive

[craggy shoal]

Teslas are very bad for the environment :(

[mortal grail]

Just dramatization footage of a kid with his little sneakers, running with a girl playing dress up 💀💀💀

Hiding in the jungle gym hahahaha

[opaque sedge]

bro was eloping

[mortal grail]

"Where we're going we won't need money babe" 💥

That just made my day so much better LOL

[frosty sinew]

Bruh

This sucks

[mortal grail]

@frosty sinew I got 5 minutes

Gimme the tl;dr and maybe I might have something

[frosty sinew]

Tried all common stuff ram etc, pc posts once after shut off psu and hold power button, then won't post again after shutdown

Just does this

[mortal grail]

That's ocp

[frosty sinew]

But it posts once

[mortal grail]

Check all cables, everything, sata cables often die and cause that

Yes it happens

It's tripping from a short

[frosty sinew]

Repeatable post tho

[mortal grail]

Yes

It'll do that

Psu shutting off, won't turn back on, is a safety

It's a short safety measure

[frosty sinew]

Maybe?

[mortal grail]

Very possible

Sata 3 dies very easily, very fragile

[frosty sinew]

Where's my multimeter

[mortal grail]

Usb stuff can cause it too

Like an inflow current or a short in that device

Say a mouse got a bridge current

Or maybe a bad plug in the io having bridged pins or tabs

It's absolutely short-like behaviour

Gotta find it, dig through relentlessly

[frosty sinew]

300 ohms between cpu power

[mortal grail]

Very small chance it's something else I've seen this happen too many times in a pc lol

[frosty sinew]

400 on 3.3

[mortal grail]

I wouldn't be able to say whether that's normal or not

That could be standby current

I just don't know tho, never did a deep study on pc electrics

I know principles not standards

[frosty sinew]

So the board is screwed

[mortal grail]

Anyway I gotta go now, I would put my odds on a short somewhere tho

Possible

Or a dead cable

Or a case rogue short

[frosty sinew]

Not in the case

[mortal grail]

You gotta check this meticulously with trial and error tbh

[frosty sinew]

But thanks

[mortal grail]

No worries

One other thing

If it posts

Strong odds it's fine

[frosty sinew]

But only once

[mortal grail]

Just tripping over the short

Ye

Still counts

Anyway cya

[deep parcel]

I have 4 of those vulcan z drives running in raid 0 in my pc lol

[lone mango]

I LOVE AMD GPUS I LOVE AMD GPUS

[opaque sedge]

is that a bad bearing or coil whine?

[lone mango]

Coil whine

Crickets and grasshoppers

But computer

[rancid juniper]

https://videocardz.com/newz/steam-deck-is-now-available-for-only-296

[storm narwhal]

Oh my god

[opaque sedge]

Not the oled ones?

That sucks

[rancid juniper]

nope

[opaque sedge]

The oled deck sound like a great budget way to get good visual quality for gaming ngl

Cuz for a pc u gotta get an expensive monitor

[opaque sedge]

Is upgrading the storage hard?

[rancid juniper]

im not sure, i don't own a steamdeck however i do believe it houses a very small m.2 card

[opaque sedge]

Aren’t those typically more expensive?

Whats the typical fps for games on the deck for triple a titles?

Like cyberpunk god of war etc

[rancid juniper]

you can search those up

there is alot of steamdeck content

[velvet summit]

Harder than a laptop
Easier than apple

Well

Or as easy as a switch

Official way to get more storage is a good name brand microSD card expansion

Upgrading the SSD is possible but not recommended by valve

Easy to break something by accident

[storm narwhal]

This is true

though it is just a matter of taking off the back and replacing the ssd, and re-loading SteamOS onto the new ssd

[velvet summit]

Also you'll need to find a ssd that even fits in the first place

That small of am.2 SSD is somewhat rare

The m.2 SSD in the deck is as large as a typical m.2 wifi card

I forget the number

But it's the first screw

Of your usual 5? screws

Or was it 4

[storm narwhal]

2230

instead of 2280 iirc

[lone mango]

Is this the cache on my 870 qvo filling up

[worthy meteor]

the slc cache yea

its just directly writing to qlc after slc runs out

[tranquil pebble]

2230

[velvet summit]

yeah

[tranquil pebble]

there are sizes larger than 2280 but those are like m2 unicorns lol

[lone mango]

Doesn't it deplete after a short while

[worthy meteor]

it'll replenish as they move the data in the cache onto native qlc

[lone mango]

Last folder I transferred did the same thing but it happened later

I meant replenish wtf

Bro typed deplete

[rancid juniper]

When that 2mb file takes that extra minute

[lone mango]

Blud really typed the opposite of what he was thinking thats wild

[frosty sinew]

Mhm

[modern imp]

Yeah the early QLC nand on the 870 qvo is really slow

Basically HDD performance with slightly better randoms

[frosty sinew]

Oi

[lone mango]

Its actually slower than the hard drive I transferred the files from once the cache is full

[frosty sinew]

It's safe

[modern imp]

Yeah it gets much worse as you fill it up

It's slower, but more predictable than hdd performance

[lone mango]

Thats brutal I didnt know it was that bad until I moved 100g to it

I was gonna use it for recording

[modern imp]

Expect to get near SD card speeds or worse once you fill it

My condolences you bought one hopefully it was on sale

[lone mango]

This was a long long time ago

It was originally supposed to replace my dads hdd for his laptop

I was using an external hdd for recording footage but I forgot about how hard drives work from not using them for so long. Eventually as it started filling up and I started deleting clips, stutters started appearing in the videos and editing sucked

I guess it wont be too much better on here, but as long as there are not any stutters when recording

That is all I need

[velvet summit]

defrag

[lone mango]

Yeah

true

[sinful blade]

Sooo

Jk. I do have friends

Just not enough

[lone mango]

I remembered when it started happening but I think I would have to do that often because I did not have the drive for that long tbh

Turns out its a good habit to defrag at least once a month

So I guess I do a biweekly defrag

[fresh nova]

 S Q U A R E```

[rancid juniper]

we need a round cpu now

[fresh nova]

What we need is a million dollars so we can retire

Put that in a account let it build intrest, you'd prob make more intrest in a month than most people spend.

[storm narwhal]

Ew c*rsair tho

[storm narwhal]

We need a rhombus CPU

[sinful blade]

At least it’s free

[storm narwhal]

True

[mental yoke]

i got those monitor lock in things

finally found the screws and how to install them

[velvet summit]

Silicon wafer sized cpu

[lone mango]

Wow bro I feel so clumsy for forgetting about defragging until the last minute

No stutters while editing

[elfin mural]

Wow, Apple just started supporting external drive formatting on ios and ipados!

something android has been capable of

[lone mango]

I dont understand

Like sd cards or something?

[elfin mural]

Yep

usb drives, etc

[lone mango]

Didnt even know iphones started taking expandable storage

[elfin mural]

Err no

[lone mango]

Oh you literally mean external storage

[elfin mural]

But you can now plug like a card reader in

And run em

It's becoming android but apple

Oof. The same display on the iPad pro

[elfin mural]

yep

[dusk knot]

Soo brighter OLED by almost two folds

[elfin mural]

And more efficient

Supposedly more durable

[dusk knot]

Mhmm

[elfin mural]

Less prone to burn in

[dusk knot]

Yeah

Maybe this might be introduced to gaming monitors

Who knows...m

[elfin mural]

only a matter of time

[lone mango]

I thought oled monitors already had preventative measures for burn in

Some at least

[elfin mural]

they do

[dusk knot]

I have almost 2k hours on mine

Does a pixel clean every few hours of use and a deep clean after a few hundred hours.

It works very well.

[lone mango]

I see my taskbar when I game sometimes

[dusk knot]

What

👀

[lone mango]

A ghost of it

[dusk knot]

What do you have?

[lone mango]

I do not have an oled

[dusk knot]

Well that sucks. I always hide mine

[lone mango]

VA panel, which I think can be fixed

I saw something a really long time ago of something like "playing a long video with constantly changing vibrant colors to excite the lcd pixels" or smth i dont remember

Maybe they are wrong and its over idk

Although I havent seen it in a while. Either thats me tuning it out because its pretty faint or whatever I saw a while ago is actually true

[reef shell]

Gentlemen , it turns out the last time I updated windows 10 was in 2018. At this point it is just better if I download the latest ios and upgrade? I tried updating using settings and most of the downloads failed

[elfin mural]

Yes

You've kept it unupdated for way too long

[proud jackal]

Leak tests

[rough flame]

what channel do i go to if i have questions about getting hacked

[hoary zodiac]

Hacked? How?

[elfin mural]

ask here

[rough flame]

could someone give an explanation to how my stuff is out?

someone got access to my:
Steam
amazon acc
and EA acc
SO FAR... like how is this happening??? They tried making orders on my amazon but failed, Got my steam just to find out that i never spend money on games- like whats there to gain? LOL

[lone mango]

Did you share the same password across those accounts

[rough flame]

nope surprisingly lol

steam & amazon have diff emails too 🫤

[lone mango]

Do you have those apps on your phone

Amazon, steam, ea

[rough flame]

amazon, steam, yes. Not EA

should i just like factory reset my pc and hope that any keylogger or malware goes away?

[lone mango]

did you download a torrent that had "millions of seeders"

Idk my thought was that those accounts were connected in some way, but then you said the emails were different. Then my next thought would be if you got something on your phone

You should run an extended scan on windows defender

[lone mango]

Did you manually log in to those accounts recently

[rough flame]

LOL YEAH for anime raw

[lone mango]

[rough flame]

idk bout "millions of seeders"

but def torrented recently

[lone mango]

There are a couple of torrents that fake how many seeders and leechers they have

[rough flame]

utorrent is what i used

[lone mango]

To make it look more believable

[lone mango]

Brutal

[rough flame]

💀💀💀

sooo delete the thing and im all good?

[lone mango]

I mean most stuff isnt too bad. There is a good chance defender will take care of it

[lone mango]

Get transmission

[rough flame]

app?

[lone mango]

Wikipedia classifies utorrent as adware lmao because its cancerous

[lone mango]

Yeah

[elfin mural]

utorrent is horrible

[lone mango]

You got trolled

[rough flame]

💀💀💀💀

[elfin mural]

transmission or qbittorrent

good torrent programs

[lone mango]

I mean with EA you didnt lose much but def set up steam guard and 2fa on amazon

I never have any payment linked on steam because I want to close as many doors as possible in case of something like that

[rough flame]

i aint lose nun lmao. i use amazon giftcards and avoid using my debit card, and i never spent money on steam 😜

[rough flame]

YEP YEP SAME

[lone mango]

Oh ok, so you at least didnt lose anything

Yeah you gotta be wary of what you download

Tbh I am surprised defender didnt pick up what you downloaded

[elfin mural]

I stopped using anything more than windef

It's enough tbh

Just gotta be careful when downloading stuff

[hoary zodiac]

no antivirus is better than your own dilligence

[lone mango]

Did you have your internet off?

[rough flame]

for what

[lone mango]

For whatever you needed to do when you installed it

Sometimes you turn off wifi on the computer to hush defender for a sec

Im asking because typically defender swipes it as soon as you download it

[rough flame]

nope. never turn off my wifi

[lone mango]

Brutal

Maybe that guy hid it pretty well in a zip or something

[rough flame]

😞

[elfin mural]

Wipe da os clean

Start new with new emails and enable 2FA

[mortal grail]

Wipeah da os a clean

[elfin mural]

[rough flame]

so factory reset my pc?

[mortal grail]

No no

[elfin mural]

Basically

But actually no

[mortal grail]

Apply nuke to storage area

[rough flame]

💀

[rough flame]

how?

[mortal grail]

Reset is not a wipe

[elfin mural]

Reinstall windows

[mortal grail]

You back everything up elsewhere

[elfin mural]

Like format the drives

[mortal grail]

Then in bios

"secure erase"

It wipes it completely

You can also wipe with the windows installer by deleting drives

Or rather

Deleting partitions

Resetting can carry over errors

Also

I just got here

[rough flame]

bruhh i kinda like...uhh didnt pay for windows... 😀 did sumn using this thing from reddit LOLLLL

[mortal grail]

I have no idea what we doing

Idk why we at wiping but anw

That's how to wipe properly

[rough flame]

cyber security stuff

[elfin mural]

Their install is compromised

[lone mango]

awl haewl nawh bruh did he had a compromised system from the start??

[rough flame]

💀💀💀💀

[mortal grail]

Then absolutely wipe it yeah

[rough flame]

bruhhhhhhhh

that thing ri?

[lone mango]

You never know, windows might be activated next time you install. I had a mini pc that i formatted and installed linux on, but went back to w11 and then to w10 and it was activated still

[elfin mural]

No no no

DON'T reset it

[rough flame]

ok ok...i didnt

[elfin mural]

Make a bootable drive with a usb drive

[lone mango]

I didnt see this nah

[elfin mural]

Windows media creation tool

Download that and use it on a usb drive

[rough flame]

can u send a yt tut about whay ur tryna say

[lone mango]

You need to download this from the microsoft website

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-installation-media-for-windows-99a58364-8c02-206f-aa6f-40c3b507420d

Click download and move it onto the usb drive and run it

[rough flame]

okeee

what does this do?

like yeah it reinstalls windows

but like what else

[lone mango]

Its how you install windows. It basically makes the thumb drive a bootable drive. You boot on to it and the installer will open

You pick what drive you want windows on and it will format the drive and install it

[rough flame]

so after i do this, everything will be oke?

[elfin mural]

Yes

[rough flame]

yay!

should i save anything before i do this? like nothing will be deleted>

[lone mango]

Yeah i was hgoing to ask

[elfin mural]

You should back everything you wanna keep up

[rough flame]

jeez

[elfin mural]

It will wipe everything

[lone mango]

You will lose everything unless you backup

[rough flame]

thats gonna take a hot min

[lone mango]

You can watch this on your phone or smth idk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_UhiHScaSI

More reason to debloat windows

Also it's making me consider linux

[mortal grail]

Wym now

Even windows 10 does it

[storm narwhal]

That's so stupid

[mortal grail]

Been doing it for years

[storm narwhal]

I might be remembering wrong but wasn't it opt in before?

[mortal grail]

Not from my memory

[storm narwhal]

Hm

[mortal grail]

It's been like that for quite a long time

[storm narwhal]

I haven't even touched onedrive in ages

So I believe you

[mortal grail]

Last couple installs I did in about november october

Those had it enabled by default

I had to disable it on start up and even delete the account off it

Neowin should be reporting instead about how windows is now putting an orange dot next to your user in the menu to tell you to sign in

"Your account has a problem and we should fix it"

Does it in pop up notis

[devout forum]

They seem to have sold PC parts to an SI that's building comps for Russian companies on the list of "war economy companies"

It's like a buddy of a buddy of my sister's neighbor's best man did something bad

Pretty standard for sanctions evasion stuff

Just surprised that the US also forced the shutdown of the US-based subsidiaries, not just the Chinese ones

[elfin mural]

imo it's silly

well in deepcool's case the subsidiary is related to deepcool's factory

[devout forum]

It kinda makes sense geopolitically

[elfin mural]

so it's two birds one stone kinda situation

[devout forum]

Since everyone knows Russia has been evading sanctions on dual-use items

[elfin mural]

yes, but in technical standpoint

it's a loss

i hate dealing with politics

[devout forum]

And it's known they've been doing it via Chinese companies

[elfin mural]

the world is already a mess as is

[devout forum]

So it's just closing a loophole

[elfin mural]

there's no clear evidence

[devout forum]

Trying to force Deepcool to make a choice between helping Russia and selling stuff in the US

[elfin mural]

to my eyes unless there's clear evidence, you can't just go around blocking em

just because they're a chinese company

[devout forum]

What about classified docs?

They could very well be clear evidence that the US is withholding from the public as leverage

[elfin mural]

a law firm involved in this informed gn that there's no such evidence

[devout forum]

Because the law firm definitely sees classified documents

Outright making the statement and not saying "As far as we know" just seems like a libel suit waiting to happen

[elfin mural]

eh, whatever it is

i hope it gets solved somehow

losing deepcool is sad

[devout forum]

I have a feeling once the war is over they'll be back

[elfin mural]

the question is when

[devout forum]

Or just
Have a new company to rebrand Deepcool products

It's not banning the products themselves

[devout forum]

Honestly that entirely depends on the side initiating the invasion

[elfin mural]

the problem is that the us subsidiary is connected to the factory

so it won't be easy

unless deepcool stops supplying russian SIs completely

there's no way to it

[devout forum]

Yeah that was the point

To force Deepcool to cease working with Russia entirely

[opaque sedge]

Whats the most creative and interesting build anyone has ever posted here in this server?

[storm narwhal]

Doesn't deepcool just make cases and coolers

[devout forum]

They're also an OEM for other stuff

IIRC

[storm narwhal]

national security™️

Oh gotcha that's more understandable

[elfin mural]

ya

it kinda makes sense the deeper you look

stop selling in russia

or not sell in us at all

[devout forum]

The point is trying to deprive Russia of stuff

[storm narwhal]

True

Unfortunately, that's not so easy to do

[devout forum]

They did kinda invade a sovereign country after all

[mortal grail]

One that fit in the hand with a 12400f lives rent free in my head forever

No

That's like bringing an o11 to the table

[mortal grail]

It was so long ago man

It was a really cool build tho

[opaque sedge]

Guys my monitor isn’t turning on

[velvet summit]

1: make sure your power source is actually giving power
2: make sure it's plugged in all the way
3: make sure any power switches are switched on (sometimes monitors have another power switch for the power supply)

Also make sure you're pressing the correct button

[opaque sedge]

Its working now but before it was giving me the vga light error

I reseated and replugged my gpu

And its working now

[velvet summit]

So it was turning on

[opaque sedge]

The monitor wasn’t

The pc was

[velvet summit]

Oh

[opaque sedge]

I was just working on reseating my gpu and the monitor suddenly had that light on the bottom corner turn on and I connected it and restarted my pc

Its working now and the 3d mark steel nomad is working as well

Not sure if I should return the gpu to be safe

Or the monitor as well

[remote geode]

well

troubleshooting does shoot trouble

[opaque sedge]

Wtf why is it boosting so high

[craggy shoal]

I'm either blind, that sick, or there is no boost statistic

I also just woke up, so that's also a possibility lol

[opaque sedge]

So in benchmark tests the clock speed stays below 2500mhz and now its going up to 2800

Vram is the same

[craggy shoal]

Oh it's just the "GPU 1 CLK" stat okay

What GPU? Isn't it the 7900 XT?

My GPU's boost clock is 2670 MHz but it'll hit 2800 MHz in COD lol

Also, what's the AIB manufacturer and model? (Like Asus ROG Strix or something lol)

Because a 400+ MHz boost from stock is nuts imo lmao

[opaque sedge]

Sapphire pulse

No oc settings changed at all

[craggy shoal]

7900 XT, right? Or is it an XTX?

After reading this, my guess is that it's the software estimation estimating incorrectly (this is common actually, which is why people will suggest using HWiNFO vs HWMonitor)

[opaque sedge]

7900xt

[opaque sedge]

Does hwinfo have any overlay?

[craggy shoal]

Not sure but I think you can log the info somehow

Never really messed with HWiNFO despite people yelling at me for using HWMonitor lolll

[opaque sedge]

The clock speed is core frequency right?

Its showing up as 1300 while idling

Nvm it was just being slow

[devout forum]

Sadge, I'll have to mod the hell out of it to look like an Astartes

[craggy shoal]

For the GPU, it should be

And then the boost clock should show up as the same value iirc

[opaque sedge]

Hmm then Yh Adrenalin might be messed up

Adrenalin shows it as being under 100 while idle

Hwinfo is at 1300-1400

But yh these clock speeds are wild

@craggy shoal … its showing up as 3000 in hwinfo

[craggy shoal]

no way 💀

[opaque sedge]

Bruh did i break my gpu

[opaque sedge]

@craggy shoal

[craggy shoal]

What does "GPU Clock" say?

[opaque sedge]

Gimme a sec i made log

Can’t open it…

I’m gonna do the benchmark again

[craggy shoal]

Is it a .CSV file? You should be able to open it in Google Sheets if you don't have Excel

Or just send the file in here tbh and then I can look at it lol (I have Excel)

[opaque sedge]

Got it

[craggy shoal]

It's kinda weird but your "GPU Clock" stays at 600 MHz and your utilization stays at 0%. But your frame rate goes up to around 180 fps

To the people who swear by HWiNFO, saying that it's better than HWMonitor, y'all are CAPPING 🧢

[opaque sedge]

Maybe its the igpu?

Yh its the igpu

That’s the clock speeds for it in idle in Adrenalin

[craggy shoal]

Oh it might be lol

[opaque sedge]

Did i perhaps win the silicon lottery @craggy shoal ?

[craggy shoal]

I mean honestly your hardware is fine tbh

I just have nothing better to do rn so I'm trying to give you an answer 💀

[opaque sedge]

Yh ig i’ll see a couple of days

My return window should be good till early july

[craggy shoal]

Nah I mean it's a perfectly functioning GPU if you've had no issues other than simple hardware statistic readings issues

[opaque sedge]

My mobo had the vga error light on earlier this morning

[craggy shoal]

I mean I've also had this on my laptop just last weekend

[sour falcon]

Yeah that's normal. It's just the game loading the world basically

[opaque sedge]

interesting it just happens so frequently that I thought it might be a gpu or monitor issue

[craggy shoal]

Nah

[opaque sedge]

i had two more stutter visible to my eye from the monitor during that clip

phew its just that i had an issue with my gpu this morning with the vga light being on in my mobo and I reseated the gpu and everything and its working properly now, not sure if i should exchange it while the return period is still on

[craggy shoal]

I had that happen to me before

It just showed up one time

I basically troubleshooted the same way you did and it worked

I had the same happen to me when I recently built a friend's PC. It turns out it just wanted a display plugged into the computer

[opaque sedge]

The display thing

My issues started with my monitor not turning on

I had left it on all night and wasn’t working this morning

And i removed all the cables and replugged them and that’s when i got the vga light on the mobo @craggy shoal

[craggy shoal]

idk why lol

I mean you could just RMA it if you have to

[opaque sedge]

The gpu or the monitor?

[craggy shoal]

Whichever one is causing the problem

[opaque sedge]

Thankfully still on my return window gonna try exchanging the gpu first then the monitor

(Gpu is just a couple screws and notches while the monitor is an entire disassembly)

[craggy shoal]

bro did you build the monitor yourself? 💀

[mighty hazel]

[opaque sedge]

The stand needs disassembly

And need to repackage it as well

Guys I’m looking for a decent computer for college, I already have a gaming one, I was looking at the Surface Laptop 5 and 7, and I’m still open to other options, I don’t want an apple computer, but I want something that can handle everyday tasks, any recommendations?

[velvet summit]

just word processing? anything more?

[storm narwhal]

Surface generally only looks nice tho

[velvet summit]

if you have the budget for a ms surface, get a framework 13 or 16

[storm narwhal]

Feels nice but it's still overheating last I checked

[fallen coral]

uh something to do that and maybe watch movies, I’m going into a science travk

[storm narwhal]

I was just about to say framework 13

[fallen coral]

my budget is $1350

[storm narwhal]

Surface vs framework imo is an easy choice

[fallen coral]

or less

idk what that is send link 😢

[opaque sedge]

Does cyberpunk not have fsr 3?

Fsr 2.1 seems kinda sucky

[storm narwhal]

https://frame.work/

[velvet summit]

i just discovered that there's a framework chromebook

lmfao

considering your use case, get the 13th gen

the performance improvement in the ultra isnt needed

or actually

go with ryzen for better batt life

[fallen coral]

I’d prefer a Windows OS laptop with a clean look, is the Surface Laptop too old? NOT for GAMING

[velvet summit]

no, surface kinda sucks

framework laptops are windows laptops, with official linux compatibility

[fallen coral]

Is there anything similar to it? that is not framework

or linux or anything random unknown

never heard of that

[velvet summit]

you can use windows on the framework laptop

it comes with windows by default

[fallen coral]

i get that but what about a non framework laptop

[velvet summit]

if you want a somewhat similar to ms surface, the lenovo yoga is a good alternative

though it doesnt detach, but the keyboard folds all the way around

[fallen coral]

that’s cool

[velvet summit]

if you want something more conventional, you can also go for the ASUS Vivobook 16

[fallen coral]

lemme take a look at it

[dusk knot]

[storm narwhal]

It's kinda funny they made one

Oh I guess he doesn't like the framework lol

Tbf it doesn't look clean so that's fair enough

interchangable fans?

[opaque sedge]

They’re magnetic

[velvet summit]

i mean

[storm narwhal]

like you can pop it out and replace the fan along with the hub?

[opaque sedge]

You can literally pop em out and pop new ones in

Without removing the heatsink

[storm narwhal]

without using screwdriver

[velvet summit]

if you buy the noctua edition gpus, you could just replace the whole fan

[opaque sedge]

Yes

[velvet summit]

also usually the failure point of fans is the bearings

[opaque sedge]

Are there any for the 7900 series?

[storm narwhal]

that's pretty cool lol

user friendly fan replacements, though it's not hard to remove the heatsink itself

[velvet summit]

you probably want to repaste when the fans die anyways tbh

they dont die that fast

[opaque sedge]

Yh it may discourage people who use this in their first built from repasting when necessary

[opaque sedge]

Apparently the main selling point is being able to swap it out for quieter fans

Or fans with more aggressive cooling apparently

But still there was no extra news of this other than a corner picture from xfx

So best buy may have leaked it lol

[velvet summit]

a gimmick then

[opaque sedge]

Yh its a like a cool new beyblade
