Lol for me it’s smash instead of Mario kart but yeah pretty much same

[mortal grail]

Lol I missed it dammit

[opaque sedge]

Mines been vice versa building my pc has been my only real achievement this year

[idle nexus]

smash was nvm

[rough zinc]

And die

A lot of die

[idle nexus]

anyway anyone read my EK letter yet? lmao

[high star]

nope'

[idle nexus]

ah heck oh well

they probably won't either

[opaque sedge]

No the pure frustration from the initial text almost gave me an anxiety attack

[mortal grail]

I can't open it on phone

[opaque sedge]

Download office

Well u gotta log in ig

With a ms acc

[mortal grail]

Yeah not doing that

Lol

[opaque sedge]

Yh i have it for school

[mortal grail]

If I was at my pc sure

[opaque sedge]

U can download it and open it in a compatible app

Iphone?

[rough zinc]

Same

Pretty

[opaque sedge]

Yh its possible from files it seems

Look at the determination in the conclusion 💀

[mortal grail]

Sadge

Glad I went alphacool

The only widely available choices here are corsair or ek

And frankly that's just expensive

[opaque sedge]

[rough zinc]

Buy it

[opaque sedge]

is oled burn in still a thing to look out for

[rough zinc]

Credit cards were made a reason

Spending money you don’t have

[idle nexus]

lol needs massive revision

[opaque sedge]

can't i overspent on my pc for 10 extra fps

in cyberpunk

laught at me

[proud jackal]

[opaque sedge]

Wasn’t even an nvidia card 💀

For rt perf

[proud jackal]

[mortal grail]

Keep your oled under 350 nits and you're fine

[opaque sedge]

I would keep that noted

If i had an oled that is

[proud jackal]

Hmmm

[rough zinc]

Do it

[opaque sedge]

Enter a giveaway instead

[mental yoke]

No !

[dusk knot]

Gib game

Also that's insanely expensive

[mental yoke]

just reminded me. My 34 inch came in today.

NEed to get it out the car and send the 39 inch back

I know the curve is gonna be nuts

But really wanted a slightly bigger display than a 32 inch that I have. Give me a boost

.

[opaque sedge]

Is this graininess normal?

[fresh nova]

We’re back

[worthy meteor]

Looks slightly funky but you might just be looking too close at the screen

[high star]

[fresh nova]

At to

Ey yo

[opaque sedge]

Got a screen record too

[fresh nova]

I’m bout to be clacking it up in the VC again

[opaque sedge]

Using no upscaling

[worthy meteor]

I'm gonna guess discord is compressing the video to hell

it looks like 720p

[fresh nova]

Yo!

[opaque sedge]

Yh seems so

[fresh nova]

Why did no one tell me how much fun Palworld was

[opaque sedge]

Strange its only 40mb

[fresh nova]

Like omg it’s a breath of fresh air

Pokémon, Ark & some badass guns…it’s amazing

They did well

[tranquil pebble]

omg 3995 WX CPUs are going for like $1200... I might buy one so I can have 64 cores

[velvet summit]

hmm

seems like one of my lenses on my glasses has some micro scratches on them

probably from when i used a paper napkin to wipe it off since i didnt have a cloth

my shirt also wasnt clean then so i used a napkin

though my glasses are also somewhat old

3~ years ish

some may say it's practically brand new

[light egret]

lol if I had glasses i'd run em til they break. My hearing aid is 5 years old and has been messed up since 3 years ago

[velvet summit]

since insurance covered yearly eye exams, i go every year and my prescription basically never changes

at least insignificantly

[light egret]

I did have glasses at one point. I lost em and never bought new ones

[velvet summit]

that crap is so expensive so i dont blame you

[light egret]

dude you're telling me. The hearing aid is only 5k. The cochlear implant reciever on the other side is 10k

[velvet summit]

insurance covers biyearly glasses replacements so it's fine for me

[light egret]

and not only does insurance not cover it for me, I also just don't have insurance right now. But when I did, it wasn't covered lol

[velvet summit]

didnt get a new one since im just saving up credit with my regular optician

[velvet summit]

[light egret]

If I get insurance, I might be able to get em to cover the implant

how do you save up credit

[velvet summit]

my mom also uses hearing aids (requires it for driving) and thankfully insurance also covers those to an extent

though she also got the like cheapest ones, which was like 2k or smth cad

maybe just 1k

[light egret]

My mom just got hearing aids last year

[velvet summit]

we only had to cover like $200

[light egret]

but she was able to use the 200-300 dollar ones from costco

I'm far to deaf for that

[pliant berry]

my grandmother paid around 5000 for hearing aids and she complains that they don't work

[velvet summit]

i dont actually remember how much it was, but it's specifically tuned to the frequencies that she cant hear well?

[velvet summit]

while my grandpa fumbles with his hearing aids, sometimes there's a feedback loop and it's so damn loud lmfao

[light egret]

yeah I have like some of the most powerful hearing aids you can buy which are 5k, but they can't get my hearing to normal levels. Like my ears would blow out before they reached that level. The sound/damage level is still present lol

[velvet summit]

not painful for him though since he's quite deaf, but me sitting next to him, it was rather loud

[light egret]

lol I use to have a ton of issues with feedback

people hated it

[velvet summit]

noticeable even with the sound of a loud restaurant

though it's probably just because it was quite high freq

[light egret]

I had a friend in highschool who wanted to know what it was like so he ripped my hearing aid off and put it on and was amazed at how much he could hear far far away.... Right up until I pressed an airhorn. Don't steal my hearing aids 😠 (Do not attempt at home, We are trained professionals who do stunts for my entertainment)

[velvet summit]

lmao

definitely professionals

Can't tell if it's sanctions avoidance or if it's just a reseller

Deepcool can't do anything in the US

Dam that sux

[dusk knot]

Hahahahahahahhahha

Oh my god….

[velvet summit]

No way

[idle nexus]

Well after way more effort than it should have taken I've reinstalled win11 on the former 10900K computer

Now for like 2 hours of messing with settings, downloads, & other fun. Heck.

Step 1: reinstall windows & go thru making account crap, etc.
Step 2: change to dark mode

[light egret]

what issues were you having?

[idle nexus]

Bugcheck, WHEA, random iommu fault reporting starting, & volsnap mostly

Oh & constant confused TPM nonsense

Kids, always remember to reinstall windows when you make major hardware changes

[light egret]

Idek what most of those are 😅

what is WHEA, iommu, and volsnap

[idle nexus]

WHEA is windows hardware environment something

Usually voltage too low for cpu

[velvet summit]

Whea is windows hardware error architecture iirc

Idk what the rest stand for

[idle nexus]

Or that ya

[velvet summit]

Was it environment?

[idle nexus]

Iommu fault usually follows HAL

Which means GPU bork

[tranquil pebble]

the very second I saw WHEA I knew BSoDs were in discussion

[velvet summit]

Oh yeah it was error

[idle nexus]

& volsnap is a storage issue

So basically there was very little working correctly at all lol

[light egret]

ok wait was everything working fine before?

like what caused everything to just break

[idle nexus]

Everything was fine before lol

When there was a 10900K & a 1080ti with a Z590 Unify-X

[tranquil pebble]

Google just asked me if I trust it so I hit "not at all" lol

[idle nexus]

But then I moved all the NVMes to a Z690 Unify-X, 13600K, & a 3070

Which apparently really confused windows lol

[light egret]

oh so you upgraded parts and windows was like "no eff u"

[mortal grail]

No it's shakingtank smh

That's not an Ak620 digital...no way

[tranquil pebble]

Ive seen Windows survive a transition from a 4790k to a 3700X without reinstall

[light egret]

oh wait you moved a windows loaded nvme to a whole nother computer?

[mortal grail]

[proud jackal]

[tranquil pebble]

my jaw damn near hit the floor

Those two archs are so different that should not have gone so smoothly

[light egret]

lol I've never had to do a reinstall when upgrading but the worst jump I've made is either from amd a8-5500 to a ryzen 5 2600, or from a gtx970 to a amd 570 and then later back to the 970

the rest of my upgrades have prob been pretty tame

although I did once clone a 2tb hdd to a 500gb SSD and then later to a 500gb NVME without any issue

[idle nexus]

Well it's a 13th gen cpu so I'm lucky it works at all ig lol

[light egret]

a friend of mine told me that's a good way to break your install

[idle nexus]

I fear this cpu may be borked to some extent thanks to Intel's microcode stuff & my personal hwbot heckin

[idle nexus]

Yes. Yes I did lol

[light egret]

yeh that's a good way to have a lot of errors lmao

[idle nexus]

It was a long shot

[tranquil pebble]

oof, rip

[tranquil pebble]

I did this with a SATA SSD

[idle nexus]

Also, Z690 Unify-X is notoriously derp. Just ask @mortal grail

[tranquil pebble]

Unifies your errors

[light egret]

I mean it can work but it's not recommended

[idle nexus]

How I could pass 252 iterations of ycruncher VT3 only to get WHEA errors running Palworld is beyond me lol

[mortal grail]

[light egret]

but if you can get it to boot, just DDU and figure out the cpu drivers and it will prolly be fine

[mortal grail]

Common story for degraded chips

Just a warning

[light egret]

although the key would likely break I would imagine

[dusk knot]

[idle nexus]

Lol heck

Well I installed international English version

& the dates are all hecked

Day/month/year what in tarnation

[mortal grail]

Wym what in tarnation

That's normal to me

[idle nexus]

It's month/day/year for... REASONS

[mortal grail]

You are is the one who is weirdness

[light egret]

To change the date format in Windows, you can do the following:
Click the Start button
Click Control Panel
Click Clock and Region
Click Change date, time, or number formats
Select the Formats tab
Choose the format you want to change from the drop-down list
Click Additional Settings
Click the tab that contains the settings you want to modify

nah ggood is right

[idle nexus]

Lol thank you. I will change it

you didnt eat it in one whole bite

[mortal grail]

The fact I even smiled at that just added nerd points to my matchmaking profile

[idle nexus]

I hate win11 context menu so much lol. I already put the reg key but haven't restarted cuz chipset drivers

Show more dammit

I want to 7zip right here right now

[light egret]

I just never bothered cause it's not hard to click one extra time 😅

I should tho

I like the context menu look better but I do want all my options dammit

[idle nexus]

I can send reg key later if you want it lol

[light egret]

oh you can apparently just restart file explorer to make the changes take effect

don't gotta do a full restart

[idle nexus]

I install chipset driver, click reset later, & now this. Ig reset later was the incorrect response

Apparently chipset driver affects font scaling or something

[light egret]

alright I fixed it

I just did it in powershell

[tranquil pebble]

for the context menu Id like to know that key ngl

I hate the Win11 context UI

[light egret]

Open power shell and copy and paste this

reg.exe add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32" /f /ve

[idle nexus]

What kind of lunatic doesn't want anything here but the power button??

[light egret]

then open task manager, find file explorer, right click, and restart

[idle nexus]

Nvm discord mobile is it's typical state of borked

But on the bottom of the start menu

It's absurd that only power is there by default

[light egret]

anything where but power button

[idle nexus]

Lol international English. I'm in the Colours part under Personalisation

Personal I say-shun

[light egret]

Colours

[idle nexus]

I kinda know what GNA Accelerator is but I don't know if I care...

[rancid juniper]

https://youtu.be/OVdmK1UGzGs?si=xDWgXrjwQvLWU8sP

[light egret]

It's special purpose hardware on the chip that software can use to efficiently run some computations, namely neural network inference. This is similar to Apple's "neural engine" on their CPUs. GNA can run some simpler neural network models with extremely good energy efficiency.

something to do with processing speech recognition without user training, iunno

but you had me curious enough to look it up lol

The GNA is used to process speech recognition without user training sequence. The GNA is designed to unload the processor cores and the system memory with complex speech recognition tasks and improve the speech recognition accuracy. The GNA is designed to compute millions of Gaussian probability density functions per second without loading the processor cores while maintaining low power consumption.

[idle nexus]

Lol yes but is there a reason to care? I don't think I'll use that

[light egret]

iunno someone said to leave it enabled as it doesnt hurt anything, but does reduce cpu overhead on certain things

mostly audio things, apparently good for streaming somehow

[idle nexus]

Ah okay. I was worried it'd run like 4 background processes

[light egret]

lol I have no idea I'm just going off of what's on google

I've not ever really used intel cpus

[idle nexus]

Why does international English seem to want to forget the letter Z anyway

[light egret]

I have no idea, I only speak americanese

[mortal grail]

You guys use it more than we do

I don't think you realise realize it yet

[high star]

according to a cursory wikipedia search it's because the "z" sound fell off in latin before english was developed

so it was never used much in the first place

also the s sound is so much easier than the z sound to pronounce

[light egret]

I went through years of speech therapy to be able to pronounce the S sound lol

also couldn't distiguish between sh and ch, and had trouble with r

[idle nexus]

Well

I think this is why windows was borking out

[light egret]

what do you mean

[idle nexus]

The 1TB NVMe that's the C:/ drive is dying

[light egret]

what makes you think it's dying

[hoary zodiac]

intel done goofed

[mortal grail]

I thought you said goated

[idle nexus]

99% life but spare is gone so... Uh

[hoary zodiac]

surely this is magnitudes worse than bulldozer

[idle nexus]

This is like self-contradicting here

Omg drive failure imminent only 99% life left

How can it report 99% life remaining & drive failure at the same time & expect most people to know what the heck it's telling them lol

[light egret]

Im assuming you have not used over 900gb of space on it lol

[idle nexus]

Lol presently it's 913/952gb free

[light egret]

lol "available space: 6%"

[idle nexus]

I'm downloading the TeamGroup SMART tool because I enjoy wasting my time or something I dunno

[light egret]

it may be screwed

[idle nexus]

It is

My sabrent rocket 4.0 said this like a week before it stopped working entirely

[mortal grail]

Drives can fail for a number of reasons

They could be used for only a handful of the programmed life yet die from a weird board or nand failure

Oh wait you're ranting

I'm really misreading a lot today

[light egret]

shoulda got a WD blue 2TB hdd

[idle nexus]

Which reminds me, I spoke to them on the phone (which I hate doing in general) & they said it's borked & they'll send me RMA thing to fill out. They didn't. I submitted the info on the website again after that & heard nothing so I guess tomorrow during business hours I'll be yelling at Sabrent

[idle nexus]

Lol I wonder if Z690 Unify-X kills NVMes (in addition to its other shortcomings)

[mortal grail]

Fortunately ram was the only nand it was an ass with

[idle nexus]

Lol teamgroup smart tool is downloading at 16kb/s like it's 1997

9.3mb & I'm still waiting what on earth

I dunno why I'm bothering anyway. It's not like it'll be like omg firmware update everything fantastic EZ

Actually no, the reason I'm bothering is to avoid some condescending customer service hecker telling me to jump thru this hoop when I tell them to honor their 5-year warranty

Ig I'm installing windows again on a 500gb nvme for now

Not ideal but better than putting effort into this dead end lol

[warped crest]

my pc randomly lost gpu and cpu but stayed booted

https://tenor.com/view/miko-iino-anime-s3-love-is-war-ultra-romantic-gif-25337421

[idle nexus]

Hecked

[light egret]

what do you mean

[slate coyote]

Man I just got a desktop from ABS and the thing is faulty

It’s going through a boot cycle

Going off and on

[idle nexus]

10/26/2021 so that's less than 5 years at least. I got two MP33s & a 10700KF. I still have the 10700KF & no clue what to do with it

[idle nexus]

Does it go to BIOS or what happens exactly?

[slate coyote]

Like

Tries to boot

Abs logo

Then tower shuts off

Then back on

It loops

[idle nexus]

Is this your first time using it?

[slate coyote]

Yup

I just got it yesterday and set it up today

So I am so annoyed

[mortal grail]

Do you see 4 little lights flicking in a sequence when you turn it on

Sounds like it boots then fails, restarts

Boot loop is a fun one

[light egret]

are you talking about the post led?

[mortal grail]

Mhm

[light egret]

you should specify in the case then lol

[slate coyote]

There aren’t really lights like that on this model

[light egret]

on the mobo

[idle nexus]

Eh maybe failing memory training. If you want to try to fix it, you can start by removing a memory DIMM (stick) & trying again

[light egret]

do you have a link to what model you bought

[slate coyote]

https://www.newegg.ca/p/N82E16883361009?Item=N82E16883361009

[frosty sinew]

Cooling installed

[mortal grail]

[warped crest]

flickers then dead

[light egret]

it only has one stick of ram?

[slate coyote]

Yup

[light egret]

oof

take the ram stick out and reseat it

[slate coyote]

Just tried

No change

[idle nexus]

Hmm DDR4 3200 should be fine but it's worth checking that memory is seated correctly, gpu isn't loose, or any other hecking that can happen during shipping

[slate coyote]

Everything is in place

It was working fine for a while

Testing out FFXIV was running fine

Then

[idle nexus]

Which slot is the RAM in? The second from left?

[slate coyote]

Turns off all of a sudden

It’s on the right most slot

Now it’s just going through this loop

[light egret]

I wonder if maybe the builder never pulled off the heatsinc plastic lol

[idle nexus]

Second from left is usually where you want it

[slate coyote]

Well the fan and heat sink are kinda in the way

Oh and now it won’t even display to the monitor

[light egret]

have you messed with any bios settings? you can try clearing cmos but idk if it would help

[slate coyote]

I haven’t even touched anything

Can’t even enter bios

[idle nexus]

Iirc (if there are 4 slots) they're (from left to right) A1, A2, B1, B2 & single stick goes in A2 first...? I know two sticks should be A2/B2 but now I'm wondering if B2 populates first sorry

[light egret]

to clear cmos you just unplug it, remove battery, wait a few min, put battery back in, plug in, power on

[tranquil pebble]

In my experience some boards have an absolute fit if you dont have the RAM order correct while others just carry on as normal

[idle nexus]

There might be a header you can short to avoid pulling the battery

[tranquil pebble]

or even a button

[light egret]

oh yeah I forgot about those options

[tranquil pebble]

my mobo has a clear cmos button on it

IMO all boards should... its not like adding a button is expensive... lol

[slate coyote]

Yeah still nothing

I think this unit is just faulty

Probably with the power supply

[idle nexus]

A2 should be where one DIMM goes

[light egret]

also check like all connections. That includes every power cord on both ends, gpu, ram, etc

[slate coyote]

Yeah I literally cannot

[light egret]

make sure they are all the way in

[slate coyote]

The fan is in the way

The RAM is too big

[light egret]

that is a bad heatsink

[slate coyote]

All connections are fine

[light egret]

doesn't look like it can be moved around or anything either from the photo

[slate coyote]

I’ve already triple checked

All connections are fine

All components are there

Fans are running

[light egret]

and you tried clearing cmos?

[idle nexus]

14 is clear CMOS header. You use something metal to short the pins together when PSU is off. Once PSU is off, press power on button a few times to discharge residual power (capacitors & such)

[slate coyote]

Trying to reinstall windows just leads to it stalling at 51%

[light egret]

if you removed the ram, make sure you are waiting a few min cause it has to like relearn itself

[slate coyote]

And refuses to go further

Yeah

I already did

[idle nexus]

Heck only one DIMM fits at all? What the heck

[slate coyote]

I’m starting to sound like a broken record but I’ve done all standard troubleshooting already

[light egret]

I would make sure psu is unplugged too

[slate coyote]

Yes

Good god

I’ve tried everything

[light egret]

hmm

[slate coyote]

The only thing weird about this is if it’s on the repair screen

It stays stable

No resets

[idle nexus]

Eh would be tight

[slate coyote]

But the instant I go out of it it’ll just die

[light egret]

nah that won't fit

[idle nexus]

Windows repair or BIOS?

[slate coyote]

Windows repair

[light egret]

when you tried to reinstall windows, did you reinstall using a USB with installation media or did you try windows repair

[slate coyote]

I feel like it might be a windows issue

Windows repair

[light egret]

if you got a USB and another pc, try doing that

if it's a windows issue, that might work

[tranquil pebble]

lol if you manage to do this... gg

[light egret]

but that assumes you can get it to boot

[slate coyote]

Sadly no usb

Thankfully I still have my gaming laptop

[idle nexus]

This is clear CMOS I believe

[slate coyote]

But the issue is each time I tried to get it into repair

It’ll stall midway

And just crash

I’m just extremely annoyed since this thing is brand new

[light egret]

you can always RMA it

[slate coyote]

I’ve been on the windows repair and it still hasn’t crashed

Like

For a good 4 minutes now

[light egret]

it looks like it's sold by newegg so should be able to rma it.

[slate coyote]

It might be windows related

Yeah I bought it off Newegg

[idle nexus]

I like how ABS ignored ASUS & put a cooler that blocks default memory slot...

[light egret]

right

[mortal grail]

Omg i missed a wall of text

[light egret]

that cooler is dumb af

rest of the pc specs seem fine tho for the price I think. not to savvy with today's price, but I would personally return it and get a diff one or build one lol

simply because I'd rather have dual channel ram and that cooler is dumb

[keen shale]

As says it's supposed to be 2x8 ram

*ad

Unless you want to void warranty return it. Safest bet. Don't poke too much unless you want to keep it

[idle nexus]

If I'm ever super wealthy, I'm gonna start a charity that donates one extra DIMM to anyone in need. What months are still up for grabs? We need dual channel awareness month

[light egret]

the pic shows 1 ram stick tho

I didnt even see that. Specs does say 2x8

[slate coyote]

Yeah it’s only one

[keen shale]

RMA and return it. Folks here happy to spec you out your own at that price or you can get another prebuilt

[light egret]

you cant even get a ram stick in a2

[opaque sedge]

Is that a server mobo?

[velvet summit]

it didnt say anything about ddr5

[slate coyote]

well i gotta wait

[opaque sedge]

Dafuuq kind of cooler is that

[slate coyote]

cause newegg service is closed now

so tomorrow

[idle nexus]

My first B550 needed clear CMOS when it didn't like my memory settings so I ran a wire & used a little metal thing. In hindsight, reset button would've been better

[velvet summit]

downdraft
intel stock cooler with rgb basically

similar fin density

[light egret]

but can it run crysis

[opaque sedge]

The big amd wraith doesn’t cover the ram slots right?

[somber skiff]

With that gpu, maybe the original from 2007

[light egret]

wait is there a remake?

[opaque sedge]

Guys is there a reason why my pc is making a tiing sound ever after i’m shut it down?

[somber skiff]

Please never watch anything past alien II (aliens)

[light egret]

what

im so lost

[opaque sedge]

Yk the sound you hear in your ears sometimes

[velvet summit]

maybe you just have tinnitus

[somber skiff]

Cysis 1 was great, the rest were not, same for alien(s)

[rancid juniper]

speed is insane, imagine that paired with the best IGPU

[idle nexus]

I saw there's a sequel to Twister coming out. I bet it'll suck

[light egret]

Oh okay. Honestly I only know about crysis cause it was a meme, and I only own the original to run it as a test on my first big upgrade, I've barely played it but I launch it on every upgrade as a joke lol

[mortal grail]

6 fps cyberpunk

[rancid juniper]

real

[light egret]

my last upgrade it wouldn't run so I was telling my friend it was a bad pc

[mortal grail]

MEDIUM

[rancid juniper]

medium settings?!?!?!?

[mortal grail]

https://tenor.com/view/milhouse-sopracciglia-milhouse-milhouse-eyebrows-milhouse-sourcils-milhouse-cejas-gif-17955709

[velvet summit]

medium is premium

[opaque sedge]

No I’m positive its coming from the pc

[velvet summit]

im talking about steak doneness obviously

[opaque sedge]

Pls tell me i’m not tripping

There is a tiiing sound

[velvet summit]

i can confirm i cant hear it (im also listening to music)

[opaque sedge]

Maybe its just the leftover electricity running around

(I hope it is)

[light egret]

iunno that sure sounds like tinnitus to me

[velvet summit]

i cant hear it even with my music paused

though there's a fridge running

[light egret]

me either lol

[velvet summit]

i am using open backs and all i can hear is my fridge rn

LMFAO

[mortal grail]

Wow get better open backs

Or get better fridge

Either one of those things

[velvet summit]

real

fridge is like 16 years old at this point

[mortal grail]

If you think about it

[slate coyote]

man i am really upset about this

[mortal grail]

The fridge is both the oldest and youngest holder of alcohol

[slate coyote]

I know it happens and all

but this is my first real big PC purchase for myself

[velvet summit]

🧐

[slate coyote]

and its just

not working

I know it aint my fault but I feel bad for buying something like this and having it not work

[velvet summit]

did you buy a prebuilt? what happened

[slate coyote]

boot loop

[velvet summit]

huh

[slate coyote]

it was working fine for like an hour

playing FFXIV

[mortal grail]

Boot loop can be really annoying to fix

[slate coyote]

then it powered off

i thought oh mightve hit it

[mortal grail]

Maybe a dead sata 3

[slate coyote]

turned it back on

played for around 15 minutes

then shut off again

now it just loops

[opaque sedge]

Can you guys really not hear the tinnitus like sound?

[sinful blade]

What did you get

[slate coyote]

I checked all connections

[rough zinc]

Reinstalled windows?

[slate coyote]

all components

[mortal grail]

@slate coyote does it have a sata cable

[slate coyote]

nothing

[rough zinc]

Sounds like a corrupted windows imo

[slate coyote]

when i try to repair windows

it just goes halfway

then freezes

[velvet summit]

i literally cant hear anything unironically
but it also could be because my background noise is too loud

my fridge is still running

[slate coyote]

and doesnt get repaired

[velvet summit]

idk when it will shut off

[mortal grail]

No it really doesn't show up in vid

[mortal grail]

^

[opaque sedge]

At this rate imma make a voice memo and shut my phone inside the pc

[pliant berry]

if you might've hit it something like the ram could have come loose

[velvet summit]

use spek

see if there's any high pitched audio

[lone mango]

No but since I see radeon on there it is probably making radeon noises

Mine sounds like it will break when the video codec starts working

[slate coyote]

already checked

nothing

its fine

literally went through that whole process up above

not even that long ago

[velvet summit]

what

[keen shale]

At this point, the CPU cooler mounting needs to be checked and that will void warranty

[slate coyote]

exactly

yughghhghg

[opaque sedge]

No like the pc is shut down but its making that tinging tinnitus noise

And I’m positive its coming from the pc

[slate coyote]

wait huh

it just

[keen shale]

There is a high pitched squeal in there

[slate coyote]

booted

what

[opaque sedge]

Where?

[keen shale]

I heard it with my DAC/AMP cranked up. Sounds like caps or coils ringing in the video

[lone mango]

It squeals when I am rendering a video

[keen shale]

OH, that makes sense

Coils on the GPU whining

[opaque sedge]

Yes thank god i’m not tripping

Is it normal?

[keen shale]

Yes

Some GPU's have coil whine

[lone mango]

When I have instant replay on it starts chirping

[lone mango]

Yeah

[opaque sedge]

The pc is shut down…

[slate coyote]

is there anything i should look at in the event viewer

[keen shale]

Sometimes a high quality PSU will solve it, sometimes it's just a bad GPU

[velvet summit]

i fear for a random discord notif blasting my ears so i didnt dare turn it up that much lmao

[slate coyote]

before it crashes again

[keen shale]

Notifs off is the only way to live

[keen shale]

No but download and run WhoCrashed if you want to see that stuff

https://www.resplendence.com/downloads

[velvet summit]

ngl i dont like that site
cant link directly to whocrashed's download

makes people have to scroll and look for it smh

[keen shale]

It's fine. Antiquated but fine

[slate coyote]

kernel-power event 41

[velvet summit]

hmm

[keen shale]

Ya, so it shut itself down

[keen shale]

pssstttt https://www.resplendence.com/download/whocrashedSetup.exe

[velvet summit]

well damn

it works

lmao

[keen shale]

😉

[velvet summit]

idk why i didnt even think of that lmao

[keen shale]

HAHAH!

[opaque sedge]

Imma sleep now hopefully the pc still turns on tomorrow 😭

[light egret]

did you not know that could be done

[keen shale]

Same reason I got my butt chewed by a random this morning for apparently not zooming on a picture.

[opaque sedge]

(My pc be living on hopes and dreams)

[slate coyote]

you know the weird thing is

it booted fine when i used

[keen shale]

Grab HWINFO64 too and check temps

[slate coyote]

reinstall windows from usb

when there wasnt a usb

and it just

booted

[keen shale]

https://www.hwinfo.com/download/

[light egret]

yeah I was thinking it's prob a temp thing. I'm wondering if they just never removed the plastic from the heatsink lol

[keen shale]

Could just be a bad mount too

[light egret]

true

[keen shale]

But OP shjouldn't touch that if they want to warranty it

[light egret]

but also, you said removing heatsink voids warranty?

[keen shale]

I would presume removing and installing things inside voids warranty

[light egret]

if you just... put it back.... how are they gonna know

as long as there's not a warranty sticker accross it, but i've never seen that

[opaque sedge]

Could this be the solution?

[slate coyote]

there is no plastic on the heatsink from what i can gleen

[keen shale]

Bottom line is it's not worth it. You paid for it, it doesn't work, return it. Get your money's worth. 🙂

Ya, it'll suck not having a PC for a few days but those are your moneys.

[velvet summit]

ehh, not really a rando, but he is kinda known for being a bit grumpy or whatever lmao

well, rando for you ig since you havent been here

in a long while

[keen shale]

beating on people for a simple mistake is a very poor way to go about life

[light egret]

wait who chewed you out for not zooming

[keen shale]

It's one thing I don't tolerate very well

[velvet summit]

reo or whatever his name was

[light egret]

that's lame

I'm assuming vintage was trying to help him or somethin?

[keen shale]

No, helping someone else

Doesn't matter

I feel sorry for people who act that way, they have some issues to work out

[light egret]

yeh

[velvet summit]

they were active enough to be in the "veteran" rank

though honestly i dont see them much anymore here

maybe i just come in at the right times or smth idk lmao

reorxist was the user

[keen shale]

Doesn't matter. Just be good people and treat people well.

[proud jackal]

[light egret]

except theo

[proud jackal]

Be terrible, do crime.

[rancid juniper]

user: updates bios

lightning: "imma do something called a power move"

[keen shale]

One of the hardest things we do in life is ask others for help. They shouldn't be belittled when they do

[light egret]

im jk theo

[velvet summit]

honestly, i wonder how many times someone has failed a bios update from a power outage

it would be pretty silly to do it during a thunderstorm

[keen shale]

Been building PC's for 30 years and never had it happen

[rancid juniper]

they like to live on the edge

[velvet summit]

"oh crap, it's thundering, i gotta update my bios because it's 1 version out of date"

[light egret]

If lord zeus wills it to be so, I was not meant to have a PC.

[rancid juniper]

lmao

[velvet summit]

take it as a sign

[rancid juniper]

i mean, maybe nature just hates your pc build so a storm manifests the second you download a bios installation file

that cant happen

OOOOOOOOOOOOH NEW BIOS

lemme check outside rq

[mortal grail]

https://tenor.com/view/storm-coming-thunder-lightning-volt-gif-16503759

[keen shale]

🌩️

[light egret]

⛈️

[rancid juniper]

AW DAMM-----

[velvet summit]

time to update

[rancid juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/sweats-gif-25346666

[light egret]

no no don't do it outside you're gonna get wet and so will your pc

[rancid juniper]

not if my roof works

there is no storm we fine

[idle nexus]

Lose memory & cpu OC & even if you take pictures &/or write it down, it won't necessarily work for the slight chance new BIOS will somehow improve things?

[light egret]

according to that gif, your roof def does not work

[potent goblet]

How the heck do I turn this off?? The sound radar?

[idle nexus]

I can't talk crap I did that 37 times with new Z790 Apex BIOS

They improved like twice

[rancid juniper]

its just an update pertaining to the intel degradation issue

[sinful blade]

@mental yoke

[rancid juniper]

yea basically this https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-finds-root-cause-of-raptor-lake-cpu-stability-issues-bios-with-new-microcode-underway

[mental yoke]

What dawg

[idle nexus]

Luckily, I had the settings memorized by then

[mental yoke]

?

[velvet summit]

is it a hud thing?

[potent goblet]

I checked everything and i dont think so

[rancid juniper]

i record my config before i update

[idle nexus]

Microcode derp voltage probz supposedly

[mental yoke]

Um

[velvet summit]

is it showing up in game? what is the problem exactly

[mental yoke]

Did i get ghost pinged

[rancid juniper]

no

who would ever do that?

[velvet summit]

it's not ghost pinged if it's still there

[idle nexus]

Usually profiles from old BIOS won't load in new ones lol

[velvet summit]

[rancid juniper]

🤨

[potent goblet]

Yes only in game.. which is weird

[rancid juniper]

for sure

[mental yoke]

What mate

[sinful blade]

You messaged me
So I sent you a guh

[mental yoke]

Oh

Ok

[rancid juniper]

bruh

[mental yoke]

Bad time to send it

[velvet summit]

cant spell illuminati without the ill in kill ☠️

[mental yoke]

I was in bed

[sinful blade]

My b

[rancid juniper]

😂

[nocturne flicker]

It makes sense is places with brownouts and frequent cuts to power from overburdened systems

[mental yoke]

Killuminati

[sinful blade]

Have a meme as an apology

[rancid juniper]

its UPS time

[velvet summit]

maybe, but you would be fairly unlucky for that to happen even so?

i mean, bios updates only take like a minute or 2

[mental yoke]

Idk if i posted this earlier

But fresh cut ig

[velvet summit]

for a random brownout or power cut to happen during that minute, is kinda unlucky

[sinful blade]

Xern? More like chadrn

[rancid juniper]

what would you do if your sibling accidently tripped the power cord while you're updating bios....

[velvet summit]

kill

[nocturne flicker]

Oh yeah, pretty unlucky that it just so happens to happen at the exact moment, but it still a possibility

[rancid juniper]

ayo

XD

[mental yoke]

Its over

over 9000?

[mental yoke]

Yes

My power is over 9000

Goodnight now

I have to go back to bed

I have work at 6 am

[velvet summit]

they made a ramp gotdam

[rancid juniper]

ngl i would be scared to do that

[velvet summit]

least slippery canadian sidewalk

[rancid juniper]

i'll probably fall on my face XD

[velvet summit]

honestly our sidewalks (at least where i live) are fairly well maintained

at least the main ones

though they clean it off a little late

[mortal grail]

Imagine spending six months practicing, landing it once, hand gets stuck and you fracture a wrist on the way down as you slip the wrong way down

[velvet summit]

back when i was walking to hs, every morning after it snowed, i would be walking to school in like ankle deep snow

me wearing my running shoes

[nocturne flicker]

You haven't lived until you've walked into a field of snow covered in a layer of ice and fallen. Hard to get up and using your hands to stabilize yourself while doing it causes the ice to dig into your hands

Mmm

[rancid juniper]

yikes...

[mortal grail]

Surely you got soaked

[velvet summit]

they do get a little wet

not soaked though

[mortal grail]

Add that to my no context collection

[opaque sedge]

The mythical corpo ladder is real yall

[rancid juniper]

[keen wind]

Im still at the bottom so there is a ways to go

[rancid juniper]

i mean, college does give you more opportunities depending on the major

so theres that

[keen wind]

im aiming to have close to 0 student debt

[velvet summit]

nah, if you drop out of harvard engineering, you're going to become a billionare

[rancid juniper]

START

GARAGE

[velvet summit]

real

[opaque sedge]

Yk why she thinks this, cuz apparently her friends and peers who got better education are rich too

[keen wind]

bros like 30 years late

[nocturne flicker]

Become lawyer, just ignore the suicide statistics, best job very fulfilling much mones

[opaque sedge]

Ik those peers of hers and one thing she failed to notice are their family connections and standings

[keen wind]

I could never be a lawyer

[velvet summit]

being a lawyer must be the most boring job ever

unless you're like saul goodman

[keen wind]

Especially not a public defender

[opaque sedge]

Depends on what kind of lawyer ig

Criminal defense, immigration, insurance

[keen wind]

Being summoned to prove a criminal not guilty must be interesting

[opaque sedge]

Plenty

[idle nexus]

Lol heck

[rancid juniper]

😭

[nocturne flicker]

Corporate lawyer dedicated to providing cover for scummy businesses

[velvet summit]

i mean, i like reading, but i dont want to read contracts all day and study the law on weekends

[rough zinc]

Checks out lol

[velvet summit]

it is illegal to lick doorknobs on other planets

or something like that

[rough zinc]

Just do it, it ain’t illegal if you don’t get caught

[velvet summit]

oh

that makes sense

[rancid juniper]

if there are intelligent lifeforms far out in space, i wonder what "THEIR" laws are like

[velvet summit]

lmao imagine someone coming home and trying to open their door and their doorknob is just all slobbered over

[rancid juniper]

ngl they probably would feel scared that there is someone slobbering every doorknob they see

[rough zinc]

Oh illegal life hack? Go on Facebook market place and find someone selling a striker car, then just mug them for it. What’re they going to do? Report a car they stole as stolen?

[opaque sedge]

Hopefully they all know abt morals and self benefit at the expense of others isn’t good

Well ig it is natural for humans

[opaque sedge]

We eat animals and plants technically we are benefiting ourselves at their expense

[velvet summit]

What could go wrong?

[keen wind]

Nothing

Can’t go to the police since it’s already stolen and self incriminating

Who says they even have laws? Might just be good aliens and don't need rules to follow.

I'm an AI imposter right @proud jackal

Dude

[rancid juniper]

what the sus?

[velvet summit]

tfw falling coconut can literally kill somebody

[keen shale]

They took all my messages in here and fed them into an AI engine for all the responses

[velvet summit]

the trees really got a self defense

[keen wind]

Next best thing huh

[rough zinc]

Should’ve renamed yourself to vintageRacer80

[rancid juniper]

ok but what did the person do to the tree tho?

[keen shale]

I'm not sure how I feel about it

[velvet summit]

didnt say hi

it was offended

[rancid juniper]

warranted

[keen shale]

I have a dead tree I gotta deal with

Chainsaw time

[keen wind]

Didnt know AI had arms

[velvet summit]

boston dynamics

[keen shale]

Tesla Robot AI

[keen wind]

Bros not vintage anymore i guess

[rancid juniper]

BOSTON DEEZ---

[slate coyote]

ok so

[rough zinc]

AI is pretty advanced these days

[keen shale]

[keen wind]

upgraded from the bike to a pickup

[slate coyote]

i think it might be something wrong with the SSD

[rough zinc]

Istg don’t make me come over there

[keen shale]

Sold all the bikes actually

[slate coyote]

cause when i tried to reinstall windows from usb

[rancid juniper]

alright alright chill

[keen shale]

Bought a new truck and a new travel trailer

[keen wind]

End of an era

[keen shale]

You're not wrong

[rough zinc]

I know where you live

[slate coyote]

trying to look at the drive just

crashed the entire desktop

so

[keen shale]

We started spending more time camping than riding so they went

[velvet summit]

well, scp 079

[slate coyote]

i guess i do have to return it and get a new one?

[rancid juniper]

Living on Deez???

[keen wind]

I remember when I first joined this server like 4 years ago vintage was the first mod I spoke to

Time flies

[keen shale]

Yes, yes it does

Life happens

[keen wind]

Agreed

[keen shale]

Whatcha been up to? Life good?

[rough zinc]

I still remember vintage spending way too much time trying to diagnose my Crosshair 8 Hero lol

[keen shale]

I remember spending more than one day on more than a few people's PC'

That was unnecessary

[rancid juniper]

Fr

[keen wind]

went through all of high school, got a full time job, and off to college in 2 months. looks like you've had your fair share of fun based on the deal with the trailer

[slate coyote]

is there really anything else i can do

or is just

replacing it the way

i literally just got it yesterday

[rough zinc]

Definitely

[keen shale]

good on ya! You're succeeding at life. That's big

[slate coyote]

so the time to return is still there

[keen wind]

The goat

[idle nexus]

It's kind of nuts that I downloaded the latest win11 iso today & still need like 50 updates

[keen shale]

Last error was memory relate? Can't remember what you posted, I was on the phone

[rough zinc]

Crazy to think you’re not 13 anymore lmao

[keen wind]

Ikr

[slate coyote]

it was a power kernel thing

[keen shale]

OH, I thought there was another one after that

[slate coyote]

but now the memory management bsod is here

and now it really wont boot

[keen shale]

Ah yes, that one

[idle nexus]

Memory bsod?

Jeez

[keen shale]

Could be ram or CPU, memory controller is on the CPU

Could be mainboard also

[keen wind]

That hit harder than I thought it would

[idle nexus]

Well not being able to use the DIMM slot you're supposed to doesn't help but can you get into BIOS?

[velvet summit]

i feel like that's even more reason to return
highest amount of failures happen during the first few months of a product
then the bathub curve happens, and failures occur quite rarely for a while, till the end of the lifespan and then the curve goes back up

[keen shale]

I'm not 40 anymore either 😉

[keen wind]

Older the wiser

[slate coyote]

i mean its been sold since 2023

i feel like it shouldve been solved by now

[velvet summit]

but you bought it yesterday

[slate coyote]

well i bought it a few days ago and it jsut arrived yesterday

[keen shale]

Never assume a part is good just because it's new

[slate coyote]

but also

maybe its also a cpu thing?

[rancid juniper]

2020 was... Interesting

[slate coyote]

wasnt there an issue with 13th gen intel cpus

[keen shale]

13600 and up

[keen wind]

You can say that again

[keen shale]

isn't yours a 13400?

[slate coyote]

its 13400

so i guess not

[keen shale]

Yeah, supposedly those weren't affected but we don't know for sure yet

[idle nexus]

Go to BIOS & see what DRAM VDD is set to

[rancid juniper]

I still remember back in 10th grade when they announced that going to school physically wasn't an option, but online

I had the widest grin

And then, laziness kicked in

☠️

[keen wind]

Yep

[keen shale]

oh man, someone in my town is selling a Sega Genesis with 12 games for $100

I'm sorely tempted

[keen wind]

Yolo

[rancid juniper]

Sega should make consoles again

Dang it

[keen shale]

I still have my NES, SNES, N64, etc

Add Sega to the collection

[keen wind]

To think that my old account is still 27th for xp in this server

[keen shale]

To think I haven't been here for 3 years and I'm #21

[slate coyote]

VDD?

[keen wind]

Covid quarantine will do that to ya i guess

[rancid juniper]

Don't look at my rank...

[keen shale]

ALready did

[keen wind]

^

[idle nexus]

I mean I understand wanting the full experience for those old consoles but many ROMs are on archive.org & emulators are easy to come by

[rancid juniper]

💀

[idle nexus]

Yes like the voltage for your DRAM

[velvet summit]

you should get the dreamcast so you can play the banger known as sea man

[keen shale]

This is theft.

[slate coyote]

cause it says
DRAM Status:
DIMM-A1: NA
DIMM-A2: N/A
DIMM-B1: N/a
DIMM-B2: TEAM gROUP iNC 16384MB 2400MHz

[safe cape]

sup

[slate coyote]

doesnt say voltage

[keen shale]

NO! Crazy Taxi!!

[rancid juniper]

Bro stop

XD

[keen shale]

Dreamcast is Crazy Taxi ONLY

[rancid juniper]

We don't talk about that game

[slate coyote]

cpu core voltage is 1.1--V

[keen wind]

Crazy taxi is so good

[rancid juniper]

Na

JET SET RADIO

Sonic Adventure

[keen shale]

I remember the mod disc for Dreamcast back in the day. It was the first console you could rootkit with a disc

[rancid juniper]

Crazy taxi fun asf tho
