[mortal grail]

But because it's not your first language you get a pass

[copper fable]

Hahaha I'm gonna take a shower now 🤪

Much better

[elfin mural]

English is fun

And painful at the same time

That's why I don't bother to learn everything all at once

[copper fable]

Yeah taking a shower sounds like it's a physical object that I can take

[elfin mural]

I just absorb it over time

lmao

[copper fable]

I'm taking the actual shower with me

[elfin mural]

Lift your whole shower and take it anywhere

Become hulk

[mortal grail]

Oh no it is running !

[copper fable]

Exactlyyyyy

These are the kind of things that would never make sense in my native language if it's translated word by word

[silver sparrow]

You're taking the shower
I'm stealing the shower

You and i are not the same

[mortal grail]

I'm passing the shower

https://tenor.com/view/tua-dime-pass-camp-gif-22848198

[sweet sun]

cool

you know whats cool?

[silver sparrow]

The shower?

[copper fable]

Wait when you er... show er (a person who shows) 🤔

😂

[copper fable]

Yeah English makes a lot of sense to me now

[elfin mural]

also take a bath

good luck hauling your bath tub around

[sweet sun]

no u

[elfin mural]

hundreds of kilos of pure porcelain bathroom ware

[copper fable]

"I have to get my hands on" does sound weird too in a way

[elfin mural]

yeah

But it's english to non native speakers in a nutshell

Kinda clashes with our brain

[mighty hazel]

[sweet sun]

lemme get my hands on

[copper fable]

😄
Means we are smarter for getting it

Here

"Getting it"

[elfin mural]

typo'd

[copper fable]

😔

[elfin mural]

getting it can mean a lot of things too

[copper fable]

I can't think of anything else honestly haha

[copper fable]

Yeah that's what I meant there

[elfin mural]

from funny things to more than pg13 topics..

[silver sparrow]

Its much more " getting hands on with a situation"

Its quite litteral

[copper fable]

And add "there" to everything does too... what's there to see (I mean literally 😂)

[copper fable]

😆

The reason behind why I came up with this sentence is very random

"I have got to get my hands on a Krabby Pattey, and no one's gonna stop me!"

That's why

A quote from SpongeBob 😅

[silver sparrow]

English without context is hell

[copper fable]

Yeah... there are so many meanings for each thing...

[craggy shoal]

Slork.

[copper fable]

I like that.

[silver sparrow]

Oh god new brainrot just dropped

[elfin mural]

I just heard my mom's tiktok blasting angel with a shotgun but in my language

I feel cringe and got goosebumps from it

[silver sparrow]

💀

[copper fable]

🥲

[copper fable]

But just a disclaimer: I have Asian friends 😭

[elfin mural]

it's thai

I can't stand a lot of translated covers ngl

No matter what language

[copper fable]

I'm here instead of going to sleep

[elfin mural]

It tends to bend the mood into weirdness

lmao, what time is it for you

[copper fable]

Yeah I understand I was just trying to be funny and I'm kind of intoxicated myself

[young matrix]

Id delete that

[elfin mural]

I didn't see that until now

Phew

[copper fable]

Not that late it's almost 5PM but I haven't slept the night before

[elfin mural]

oh

[copper fable]

Sorry I'm not thinking right now

My head feels very heavy

[copper fable]

I wouldn't have said that if it weren't for my poor sleep sorry again

[young matrix]

Go sleep

[copper fable]

You don't think clearly when you don't sleep. I have to try but not now...

Too early

But I'm used to it I have a chronic insomnia

It gets fixed after a day or two... I just need to keep myself awake for the time being

That's why I went here , to keep myself busy...

[sinful blade]

Go to the pcmr discord and start arguing with people
That usually keeps me up

Just keep insisting that they’re wrong on a completely irrelevant topic or suggest extremely unknown parts to people and get mad when they don’t know what it is

[copper fable]

Yo what

I didn't know Newegg had next day delivery

[misty sparrow]

I didn’t know that either, but then again that’s because I’m too broke to buy anything

[sinful blade]

Same

[frosty sinew]

i bought a 5700x yesterday

[misty sparrow]

By the way

Still haven’t started

You know what I’m talking about

[fervent stump]

[fervent stump]

That’s cool I hope you like it

[pearl wedge]

How do i get my free ram for the amd ryzen 7 5700x?

[mortal grail]

Wym free

[silver sparrow]

Nothing is free

[mortal grail]

[pearl wedge]

it shows a deal saying that you can get free ram wtih the cpu on teh website but odesn't allow you to opt in. i tried sending a photo but i can't send photos yet

[mortal grail]

I see what you're talking about now

Sorry I went to go test it

It works for the 5800x but not the 5700x, it should be 2x16gb corsair vengeance

DM @digital thunder the problem and they will help @pearl wedge

[pearl wedge]

okay thanks!

[mortal grail]

Also small suggestion, there may be a better price choice if you're going all new

Like 12600kf would beat the pants off that

12600KF + DDR5 would be a lot faster and only a some $30 difference

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XcZWmD

^^^ For reference

Big jump in performance

Also a much better ram brand than corsair (free is free tho)

Just my two cents

[sinful blade]

I’m gonna punch you in the leg

[mortal grail]

[sinful blade]

They won’t freaking start mass effect

[mortal grail]

It appears to have caused you massive effects

[proud jackal]

[rancid juniper]

everyone else will utilize Z2 extreme

[deep parcel]

I feel like Valve might release another steamdeck next year

either next year or early 2026

[deep parcel]

Yep

Proud affinity user

[tranquil pebble]

Reminded me to cancel my plan since the contract ended.

[gleaming sedge]

Would a 120mm fan be enough to cool a Asus 3060?

[sweet sun]

no

you would need a 240mm fan

[hoary zodiac]

what are you doing to it

did the fan die or something?

[tranquil pebble]

I have like three 200 something mm case fans now lol

[hoary zodiac]

how wide is your case

[tranquil pebble]

its a full tower

[fervent stump]

Meow meow

[fervent stump]

Mid tower and full tower aren’t they the same?

[sweet sun]

shhhh

[hoary zodiac]

Depends

There are matx cases that's smaller than some itx cases

[velvet summit]

full towers are stupidly big

[hoary zodiac]

Enthoo pro ii

That case was fricking massive

[fervent stump]

Soooooo yes no?

[fervent stump]

How?

[hoary zodiac]

It's a motherboard form factor

[sweet sun]

shh means no and shush your speaking hole

[hoary zodiac]

It only indicates what motherboard form factor it's designed for

Not the actual size

[fervent stump]

Shut up

[hoary zodiac]

But generally full towers can range from slightly bigger to stupid big

[sweet sun]

there thats what i was gonna say

[fervent stump]

I get that but how would that make sense?

[sweet sun]

shut up

[hoary zodiac]

Sometimes you want an itx case that can fit a hdd

Different use cases

[fervent stump]

I’m telling you to since you always want to get involved in every thing I ask to tell me to stop talking

[sweet sun]

this is the first or second time

gj your first lie

[velvet summit]

both of yall chill

[fervent stump]

But wouldn’t a itx case always be smaller then a matx

[sweet sun]

i hope its your first lie

[fervent stump]

You have told me to shh or shush like 2 times before

[hoary zodiac]

No

[fervent stump]

Seems like you have a problem with me and won’t say it

[sweet sun]

i do

[fervent stump]

That’s weird

[fervent stump]

What is it and why do you always have to make a problem when talking if you don’t like me don’t get involved in every conversation knowing it will start something

[sweet sun]

i love making people mad

(:

[fervent stump]

Alright 👍

[hoary zodiac]

https://www.jonsbo.com/en/products/Z20PinkBlack.html
https://www.coolermaster.com/en-au/products/masterbox-nr200p/?tab=tech_spec

these two cases are around the same size

one's itx and one's matx

it really comes down to case design

[fervent stump]

Woah what’s a mini dtx?

[hoary zodiac]

alternative form factor

[fervent stump]

Oh ok

[hoary zodiac]

didnt't take off

it just exists

[fervent stump]

I didn’t know there were sooo many more types of cases and stuff

[hoary zodiac]

there's a lot of sub-categories in cases

[hoary zodiac]

even if it's an oc board

[nocturne flicker]

Rog stands for Republic of Gamers

[fervent stump]

It’s simple but I love it

[sweet sun]

i love all of the popups

prob comes with the wallpaper

free

[hoary zodiac]

I don't even care about the wallpaper

what is that desktop

there's so much bloatware

[fervent stump]

Idk it was in the nzxt server

[nocturne flicker]

If you want simple go monocolor background. I put mine to black

[sweet sun]

what did you expect from an nzxt enjoyer

[hoary zodiac]

I just put on a painting or a ship

[fervent stump]

I’m going to make my back ground whatever theme the rgb is that I want from that day

Waste of time and effort for something you won't see for most of your use

[fervent stump]

It may be a waste but I like to do it

[sweet sun]

cool wallpaper i made

[fervent stump]

Plus I’m not going to change it much

[hoary zodiac]

is that a wide angle lens?

[fervent stump]

It’s mainly going to stay light blue

[sweet sun]

its a panorama

[hoary zodiac]

oh

what lens did you use

[sweet sun]

iphone 13 camera

[hoary zodiac]

aw

[fervent stump]

[sweet sun]

i got some aurorus boaralis shots

[dusk knot]

i wish i was there

😭

[sweet sun]

they suck

incoudnt even see with my eye

[fervent stump]

Wallpaper

[hoary zodiac]

that's mostly because of the limited ISO on your camera sensor

[sweet sun]

eh

no nzxt so its good

[hoary zodiac]

actually no

that is stupidly wrong

[dusk knot]

how long of an exposure was this?

[hoary zodiac]

lemme rephrase it

[sweet sun]

10 seconds

[dusk knot]

mmmm

[wary fjord]

i ask ai what asus rog looks like if it was an anime xD

[nocturne flicker]

I set my PC's wallpaper to a random ST:O wallpaper I had and didn't change it for 7 years. It had as much impact as setting the background to blue

[fervent stump]

I’m going to bed 👋

[hoary zodiac]

STO?

is that what i think it is

[nocturne flicker]

Star Trek Online

[sweet sun]

yay bye

[hoary zodiac]

oh damn

[wary fjord]

[hoary zodiac]

I used to have a wallpaper of my ship

[velvet summit]

i currently am using an 86 wallpaper

[dusk knot]

the second one wins imo

[nocturne flicker]

I just had a random blue one of some Klingon ships attacking a federation cruiser

[hoary zodiac]

I had my modified constitution in front of a star

generic but it looks good

[sweet sun]

guess what my wallpaper is

[velvet summit]

i had ceres fauna for a good while but after reinstalling my gpu drivers, wallpaper engine decided to not show any wallpapers so i decided it was time to swap wallpapers again

[hoary zodiac]

I should probably make a STO wallpaper with my new ship would be cool

[sweet sun]

this is my wallpapar

[nocturne flicker]

Oh wait, no actually I lied, it was a Star Trek Beyond wallpaper apparently

[hoary zodiac]

oh ahahaha

[dusk knot]

my wallpaper is the a solar eclipse image I took in april

[hoary zodiac]

hmm that gives me another idea

[hoary zodiac]

nah that's definiely STO

those are STO designs

[dusk knot]

very nice. is this from strange new worlds?

[hoary zodiac]

sovereign class nacelles on a constitution lookalike

and TNG style escape pods

man I'm a nerd

[dusk knot]

[dusk knot]

i just love the show in general with the crew

and how they stuck in the delta quadrant

[hoary zodiac]

yeah voyager has some really interesting characters

Most people like seven but the doctor's my favourite

[dusk knot]

love them all...except for nelix lol

[nocturne flicker]

Then what idiots are putting the title for half of the copies of it as a Star Trek Beyond wallpaper

[hoary zodiac]

maybe that's when the movie came out

[dusk knot]

they ruined her now, but the doctor I think is my favorite to

[hoary zodiac]

yeah it was character assassination

[dusk knot]

smh

[hoary zodiac]

anything the new writers touch really

[nocturne flicker]

I didn't care for Voyager

[dusk knot]

yeah. everything sucks beside season 3 of picard

[sweet sun]

[hoary zodiac]

I don't like picard season 3 in context with the rest of the show

but if picard season 3 was the whole show I would've been fine with it

[nocturne flicker]

I am a DS9 boi even with the stupid silly Ferengi episodes

[hoary zodiac]

season 3 was all it needed to be

[dusk knot]

season 1 to 2 wasnt ST

[hoary zodiac]

I love the Ferengi episodes

you can just turn your brain off

[dusk knot]

the most boring ST show

[hoary zodiac]

it's more of a counterbalance to the more heavier episodes

[dusk knot]

[hoary zodiac]

it was literally a waste of your time

they didn't need to exist

[wary fjord]

hmm this aint a prayer sign emoji xD

[sweet sun]

bREAKING BAD

[hoary zodiac]

I have some issues with season 3's plot but at least I can tell there's someone on the writing team that understand ST

[dusk knot]

the dominion war and the prophets was all i liked as well as the stories involving the Cardassian @nocturne flicker

[hoary zodiac]

the golden rule is

skip the first two season of the 90s trek

they're usually pretty mid and boring

[nocturne flicker]

My only real problem with DS9 is how, because it was made for syndication, nothing really lasts for more than an episode or the multiparters besides the grand arcs like Dominion War and stuff. O'Brien literally was put into solitary confinement for years and becomes suicidal and the next episode he is fine

[dusk knot]

true true ....

[hoary zodiac]

especially with enterprise

[dusk knot]

mmm

yeah

rip enterprise

[hoary zodiac]

season 4 was actually a banger it's a shame that's when they cancelled it

[dusk knot]

yeah I remember when It happened. saddened me

[hoary zodiac]

O'Brien's been put through so much

ST really loves torturing their characters

[sweet sun]

BREAKING BAD

autfuucuew

[dusk knot]

im glad STD is cancelled 😏

[hoary zodiac]

and then not showing their PTSD

they tried with picard

but then he experienced an entire lifetime and the writers barely got to explore that

[nocturne flicker]

He's had everything thrown at him and he just shrugs it off because they can't have plot points like that drawn up for the characters in later episodes

[dusk knot]

right

[sweet sun]

[dusk knot]

goated show

[hoary zodiac]

he literally saw a clone of himself die, experienced a lifetime of torture, lose his teenage daughter then have her reappear as a child again, the cardassian border wars, spiders, keiko, the dominion war, almost dying inside sloan's mind and he's somehow fine

[nocturne flicker]

Most mentally resilient man in Star Fleet

[dusk knot]

the only real ST is the TOS, TNG,DS9, VOY, and ENT. rip the franchise

[hoary zodiac]

he just shrugs it off

[hoary zodiac]

the orville

[nocturne flicker]

Never advances beyond petty officer

[dusk knot]

lol, besides not being in the same universe

[hoary zodiac]

yeah

probably because they got a lot of the same people on their team

[dusk knot]

it was perfect

[hoary zodiac]

I think they had brannon braga on

[dusk knot]

no way

[sweet sun]

it sucks

worst show

[dusk knot]

[hoary zodiac]

frakes even directed a couple episodes

I also really loved the Phlox vs the doctor episode

that is 100% a fan service episode and I loved it

they played different characters but it was definitely phlox and the doctor

[dusk knot]

im starting to forget

what season and episode?

[hoary zodiac]

season 2

it's the episode where alara leaves the show

[dusk knot]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

OH

nvm then

I loved seeing him!

it was really something

[hoary zodiac]

yeah i was like

WAIT THAT'S THE DOCTOR

and then when phlox appeared i almost jumped out of my chair

[dusk knot]

also seeing alara leave really changed alot for me, she was soo cute compared to the replacement tbh..heheh.

[hoary zodiac]

yeah that's the point

she's tiny but she could could flatten a steel rod

[dusk knot]

the fan service was real

[hoary zodiac]

It's such a good episode for her departure too

[dusk knot]

And If im correct...the actor who played Tuvok was in it to@hoary zodiac

another big moment

[hoary zodiac]

was he?

[dusk knot]

hhhhmm

[hoary zodiac]

I know uhhh

[dusk knot]

one sec lol

[hoary zodiac]

what's her name again from DS9 is a main cast member

oh yeah tuvok is on the orville

damn

[dusk knot]

YEAH HE WAS IN SEASON 2

[sweet sun]

same

[hoary zodiac]

yeah I need to rewatch season 1 and 2

It's been too long

[dusk knot]

the episode "lasting impressions"

[dusk knot]

its time

[hoary zodiac]

those episodes have the same vibes as TNG's relics

even though the actors are playing different characters

[dusk knot]

the writing was pretty much on the same level with comedy added

[hoary zodiac]

It's like that one enterprise episode where they did a homage to quantum leap

I'd say it's TOS comedy but more unhinged

at least for season 2 onwards

[dusk knot]

dont rememeber

ive seen all the episodes at least once

[hoary zodiac]

yeah the episode was pretty meh

you won't notice it unless you watched that episode right after watching quantum leap

it was a season 1 episode so 🤷‍♂️

very forgettable

[dusk knot]

I have no good recollection of that

sad

I only remember the best

[hoary zodiac]

my recollection are the one episode where trip got pregnant and then season 3 and 4

[dusk knot]

the zendi war was great as well

[dusk knot]

lol

same here

I think I need to rewatch some episodes

everything is turning blurry

[hoary zodiac]

I liked every episode in 3 and 4 except for the finale

they did trip dirty

[dusk knot]

what happened again?

[hoary zodiac]

Riker's holodeck program

trip dies

we don't even get to see the federation form

[dusk knot]

oh right with Troy

[nocturne flicker]

I skipped most of the last episode tbh

[hoary zodiac]

riker turned off the program right before it happens

[nocturne flicker]

Only good part of the episode was the ending monolgue

[dusk knot]

well when a show is cancelled, they always stumble in the end

[hoary zodiac]

yeah

if they had ended on the second last episode with that ending monologue

[dusk knot]

felt bitter

[hoary zodiac]

it would've been gold

they didn't need that final episode

[dusk knot]

i agree

would have left what happened next to the imagination

[sinful blade]

Voyager >

[wicked oriole]

The pc I bought keeps crashing on COD, any tips?

[nocturne flicker]

Would've left what happened to a sequel series 20 years later with the entire crew recasted and modern story scripts

[dusk knot]

my fav

[dusk knot]

modern...no no no no

[sinful blade]

Run a hwinfo scan

[hoary zodiac]

Problem isn't modern it's bad writing

Orville is a modernised trek formula and it works so much better

[sinful blade]

Find out if it’s cpu, gpu, or something else maxing out

[dusk knot]

hollywood is now run by fools

im good

[wicked oriole]

OK thank you, is that just a website lol

[nocturne flicker]

That is the point. Most writers nowadays just can't write

[dusk knot]

they cant

i long for the days of old

[sinful blade]

Program

[hoary zodiac]

The executives also put the wrong people in charge

[dusk knot]

yep

[hoary zodiac]

They're just there to collect a paycheck

[dusk knot]

in most of the major franchises now

[hoary zodiac]

And overrely on CGI

[wicked oriole]

Do I download it?

[sinful blade]

Yes

[hoary zodiac]

Star Trek II's effects still hold up today because it was made by people who actually wanted to make a good movie

Now it's just a production line

[dusk knot]

corporate slop

SNW is trying to bring the franchise back

but its a bit too silly and not as likeable

[hoary zodiac]

SNW is hit or miss imo

[dusk knot]

yeah

[hoary zodiac]

Bad character writing really drags it down

It's got a lot of potential but the writing holds it back

[dusk knot]

I think it has potential if they try to stray away from the common tropes we see now in modern television

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah

That's what MacFarlane does

[dusk knot]

genius

he UNDERSTANDS ST more than CBS lol

[idle nexus]

@mortal grail saw the GN EK thing? you called it. Also, lmk if these pings get annoying haha

[wicked oriole]

I got it open, wtf am I looking at lol

[hoary zodiac]

Another thing I hate is that CBS blames it on people's politics when people criticize their shows

It was never about politics they just find a strawman

[mortal grail]

Ping me all day bb heart

[dusk knot]

tsk....americans

Twitter · Sep 5, 2024, 7:18 PM

[dusk knot]

I really hate it

[mortal grail]

Who tf buys a 4090 at costco

Not even I'm that poor

[hoary zodiac]

The irony is that ST's been one of the most progressive shows on TV in the 90s and fans ate it up

[mighty hazel]

Walmart is the place for the cheap ones 💀

[mortal grail]

Bruv he's at costco

Why do I know

That pizza that drink that hotdog

☠️

[mighty hazel]

The opportunity came up

[mortal grail]

He got a value meal lunch then forked out 1900 for a crap 4090 deal

Bruv's poor man shopping into a scam

[dusk knot]

it was "progressive" enough back them, now....idc anymore. Lets not dive into the politics now

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah

[nocturne flicker]

I mean, it also doesn't help that you have talking heads online screaming wokeism wokeism wokeism everytime like Nerdrotic or whatever his name is

[dusk knot]

its a core problem, but what can we do

[hoary zodiac]

That's the sad part really

It's the exact opposite of what Roddenberry wanted to convey with TOS

[dusk knot]

I mean, he had some crazy ideas too when you do some research

[hoary zodiac]

As in the way they communicate to the audience through writing

Not the messaging itself

[mortal grail]

Roddenberry more like Rotten berries

Who's Roddenberry

[hoary zodiac]

Creator of Star Trek

[mortal grail]

Oh I have no idea about anything star trek

[dusk knot]

yeah. back then, no matter where you came from, we could all relate and reflect from what we watched. I missed that until the orville brought it back

[nocturne flicker]

Didn't he also try to push those infinity diversity in infinite combinations pins into the show just to sell memorabilia

[idle nexus]

lol EK borked

[dusk knot]

you got 5 shows to watch, buddy

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah that's what I don't like about the new ST shows

They only really show one perspective

[idle nexus]

sorry I suppose I should have something more inciteful to say than cave-man chanting EK borked

[dusk knot]

lol?

[idle nexus]

but in any event, ya you were right lol

[hoary zodiac]

The older ST shows do it too but the new ones are way more narrow on their exploration of ideas

[dusk knot]

dumbed down is the word

and not as professional

[mortal grail]

If I watch star trek for 5 seasons then you watch the vicar of Dibley for 4 seasons

[hoary zodiac]

That's one of DS9's strengths

They would show the characters doing shady stuff then reflecting on it

[mortal grail]

No I'm not saying it's a good show btw

[dusk knot]

Vicar of what

[mortal grail]

Do you like mild british comedy

So mild you feel sick

[dusk knot]

NAH

[mortal grail]

More like vicar of midley

[idle nexus]

I prefer Australian comedy

it's like British comedy but with kangaroos

[dusk knot]

mmhhmm

[mortal grail]

It's been dead for a decade

[dusk knot]

oh god...that pfp

[mortal grail]

You like my new face

[dusk knot]

no

[hoary zodiac]

ahahha the banner

[idle nexus]

it's great how they say what's on their mind. Their whole "No Rules, just right" thing really gets thru

That was an Outback Steakhouse joke. It wasn't funny I know

[mortal grail]

Every passing day my profile here gets more chaotic

[mortal grail]

TRUUUUU

[pearl wedge]

There any student discounts going on right now?

[dusk knot]

hm

[idle nexus]

Comedy often requires saying things that are offensive. Sometimes those things are offensive to specific groups of people. In 2024 saying things that are offensive to specific groups of people is frowned upon. Thus, it's hard to do comedy now or something ig

[nocturne flicker]

Join now for 10k in free student loans

[dusk knot]

i need that

[wicked oriole]

How do I see why my pc keeps crashing

[idle nexus]

I think Aorus used to have student discount stuff but back when school started I think

[mortal grail]

Mmm not that I'm really aware of, back 2 school sales tend to happen February

[idle nexus]

click start then type Event Viewer

[mortal grail]

But you never know, you may find a sale

Or a discount code

We're not aware of any here rn afaik

[wicked oriole]

On hw?

[idle nexus]

"System" tends to give you the most clues so you, Scoob, & the gang can try to solve the mystery

these are usually the first place to look

[wicked oriole]

Appreciate it. Will be back once it boots back up

[idle nexus]

under "Source" if it says "DistributedCOM" or "Kernel-Power," it's usually not very helpful

DistributedCOM is something to do with permissions iirc

[pearl wedge]

Ah I see

[idle nexus]

& Kernel-Power will just be complaining that the last shutdown was unexpected or something of the like

however, the Kernel-Power errors can be helpful because often the error that caused the shutdown happens soon before the Kernel-Power error

if you got or have been getting BSODs, try to remember what it says on the BSOD--that can also offer clues

[wicked oriole]

Also I restarted and am in bios, anything I should do real quick?

[idle nexus]

unless you've done anything there previously, probably not

do you have XMP enabled?

which CPU & motherboard btw

[wicked oriole]

I haven't lol

[wicked oriole]

Where do I find

[idle nexus]

lol if you're not sure, then almost certainly no

[wicked oriole]

7800x3d and msi b650m-p

[idle nexus]

once we figure out what's causing crashes tho, we might be able to enable XMP for better performance but let's get there first

[wary fjord]

Is amoled newer than oled.. Is it better than oled or nah

[idle nexus]

have you had windows installed for awhile or did you just install it? What were you doing when it crashed?

[wicked oriole]

OK, so leave bios?

[idle nexus]

ya just either press Esc & say yes to leaving or press F10 & press yes

[wicked oriole]

Windows was installed when I received, and playing cod, or atleast trying lol

[fair rampart]

Is Newegg buying parts in bulk or something?

[idle nexus]

ah okay. Some relatively minor things but worth doing: (1) did you install latest chipset driver for B650m? (2) install other drivers from motherboard website or Windows update>Advanced>Optional updates?

[fair rampart]

I pc part picker’d the prebuilt I got and it’s like $100 more expensive to make (I can’t find the motherboard and psu but I chose the cheapest option in worse case)

[wicked oriole]

I did go through and try to update any drivers available. Nothing gave me a prompt for a new update

[weak cedar]

https://english.elpais.com/international/2024-09-03/elderly-romanian-woman-used-amber-nugget-worth-over-1-million-as-a-doorstop-for-decades.html

[hoary zodiac]

what's the list?

[fair rampart]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/

[hoary zodiac]

that's an empty list

[fair rampart]

one sec lol

[idle nexus]

if you don't have these installed/updated, definitely do that https://www.amd.com/en/support/downloads/drivers.html/chipsets/am5/b650.html

[sweet sun]

cool

[wicked oriole]

Also, it's take forever to boot now, just on msi loading screen. It was taking like 20ish seconds to boot

[idle nexus]

it could be because of memory training. Especially early on, Zen 4 takes a long time to train memory

[wicked oriole]

OK, I was worried I fried something lol

[idle nexus]

related, making sure you're on latest BIOS can help with that

[fair rampart]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KxWK6D

[hoary zodiac]

what is the use case?

[sweet sun]

LMAO

[idle nexus]

B650m... is it B650M Aorus Elite? Asrock B650M Pro RS?

[fair rampart]

I can’t figure out what the psu in my prebuilt is, it says cyclops abs 1000w gold 80

[hoary zodiac]

the list could use a lot of optimizing

[sweet sun]

you included the windows 10 ley

[fair rampart]

lol

[sweet sun]

thats the worst ive seen so far

omg

i need a break

[hoary zodiac]

do you need an AIO?

[fair rampart]

I already bought the prebuilt, just kinda surprised how similar the price is

In my about me

[hoary zodiac]

well

it is a pretty uh

unoptimized list

[fair rampart]

I know, I can’t find the motherboard model

And the psu says Abs 1000w gold 80. It has “cyclops” on the side. I tried to find it on the psu tier list site but can’t

[wicked oriole]

It's still loading lol

[idle nexus]

download hwinfo & it should tell you

[wicked oriole]

Should I try to turn off turn back on? 😦

[idle nexus]

ehh so we're at like 3-4 minutes now?

[wicked oriole]

Atleast 2-3

[idle nexus]

if it doesn't POST in the next minute or so, I'd turn off the PSU & hold the power button for a few seconds then turn it back on just to make it start over

once memory trains & what not the Memory Context Restore thing should shorten boot times

[sweet sun]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MDMyvj

optimised

the 7700x is usually 50$ cheaper

and i didnt need to put a 1000w psu

so it could go 100$ lower atleast

[hoary zodiac]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MgpVh3

a lot more than $100

[sweet sun]

thats my exact same list

[hoary zodiac]

no

oh wait

[sweet sun]

are you a copier or coincidence

[hoary zodiac]

ok it's the right list now

[sweet sun]

shoot inforgot a mobo

rhdjcjdjee

[hoary zodiac]

Didn't put an expesive motherboard because prebuilts usually put the cheapst thing on there anyways

[sweet sun]

true

[wicked oriole]

Ily so much for that I'm in

[idle nexus]

my AM5 board has its derp moments with memory too lol

[fair rampart]

I was trying to find the cheapest one yeah didn’t use filter. Ty thou. Now just trying to figure out what tier my psu is

[hoary zodiac]

wait

there's more

[idle nexus]

what were you doing when it crashed btw

[wicked oriole]

We got dis com

[hoary zodiac]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/W2Tjfy

[wicked oriole]

Just got into bo6 beta

[hoary zodiac]

down to 1.7K if XTX

[sweet sun]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HYwC34

down to 1.7k

[idle nexus]

ah right you told me this already sorry lol

[sweet sun]

if reasonable part choice

[idle nexus]

any clues in Event Viewer?

[fair rampart]

If reasonable yeah that’s a good save

[wicked oriole]

We do have one that says volmgr

[fair rampart]

Damn near 400, not a complete waste thou thank god lmao

[hoary zodiac]

to be fair I'd keep the 4080 super

[fair rampart]

Oh yeah

[idle nexus]

that's storage related but not necessarily an indication of something wrong with storage specifically--I've gotten plenty of those cuz of unstable memory

[fair rampart]

I was thinking cpu maybe once we see how the new amd’s are

[hoary zodiac]

but yeah prebuilts generally put the cheapest parts in and charge you way too much

[fair rampart]

In upgrading terms

[hoary zodiac]

or don't put the actual user in mind

[sinful blade]

@hoary zodiac got a solid question for you

[idle nexus]

in Settings>Apps>Installed Apps do you have this installed? "AMD Chipset . . ."

[hoary zodiac]

?

[idle nexus]

ignore my terrible Adobe things. I hate them too lol

[hoary zodiac]

I had to reinstall windows to get rid of adobe

[idle nexus]

Adobe mad cuz I changed all its spying on me services to Manual start lol

[hoary zodiac]

pain

[idle nexus]

heckin adobe

[wicked oriole]

do i need to install all these or latest ones

[idle nexus]

just latest chipset not the RAID or other stuff

[pearl wedge]

How do we add our student email to our accounts?

[wicked oriole]

Ok

[sweet sun]

wdym

[idle nexus]

which B650m board by the way

[pearl wedge]

It says using your student email you can get student discounts. But idk how to add my email to my account

[sweet sun]

newegg account?

[pearl wedge]

Yes

[hoary zodiac]

where's the newegg support person

[sweet sun]

wait i can get discounts?

IFUDJDJX

yes

thanks imma do that rn

[pearl wedge]

I dunno for sure

[wicked oriole]

For me? B650m-p

[idle nexus]

I hate Adobe so much for all this junk they try to waste system resources running all the time

[hoary zodiac]

where did roomba go

@sinful blade

[sweet sun]

to your house

to ask you the question

in person

[fair rampart]

Is there a way to figure out what my psu is, so I know if it’s at least B tier in the tier list? “CS1000M Modular ATX3.0 Series” “cyclops”

[wicked oriole]

This pre built is so clapped lmao only thing worth a damn in it are the gpu and cpu 😭

[sweet sun]

its c tier

[fair rampart]

Damn aight

[sweet sun]

rosewill = bad

[hoary zodiac]

C tier?

[sweet sun]

i have a rosewill it sucks

[sweet sun]

its a guess

[hoary zodiac]

on a 1k+ pc?

[sweet sun]

im checking rn

[hoary zodiac]

I mean I wouldn't be satisified with anything but an A tier

on that budget

[idle nexus]

this used to be the go-to but it hasn't been updated in a little while now https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/

[wicked oriole]

Also is apevia a decent psu?

[hoary zodiac]

depends

on the specific psu

[sweet sun]

its not on the list

[sweet sun]

no loo

l

none of their models are

they are all bad

[hoary zodiac]

It's decent enough for builds with lower power requirements

[mortal grail]

Prestige is fine for budget

[wicked oriole]

I don't think my build calls for that lmao

[fair rampart]

Ty yeah but sadly can’t find it.

[sweet sun]

theres bronze tier psus for the same price that are better

[hoary zodiac]

what do you have?

[sweet sun]

like the cx and the a-bn

[hoary zodiac]

where do you find a cheaper cx

[idle nexus]

ah heck. ya last update was like 4/11/2023

[wicked oriole]

OK so I got the cpu updated w the link you sent me. Next?

[idle nexus]

sad

[mortal grail]

That doesn't mean the prestige is suddenly rubbish tho

[sweet sun]

750w 65&

65$

[wicked oriole]

7800x3d and 4080 super lmao

[mortal grail]

It's just not the ideal choice

[sweet sun]

its d tier isnt it?

[mortal grail]

No

[idle nexus]

was there anything other than volmgr in Event Viewer?

[sweet sun]

or w tier

e

or is it c

idk

[mortal grail]

I don't use that list but it's C

[hoary zodiac]

prestige is c tier

it's fine

[sweet sun]

oh

[hoary zodiac]

not like people are gonna be running an XTX on it

[sweet sun]

still worse

[hoary zodiac]

remember the market changes

[idle nexus]

which one do you use? my 1600w G+ is stinky B tier 😭

[mortal grail]

It's been a perfectly acceptable unit for low end builds at $55 for over a year now

[sweet sun]

NEVER

[mortal grail]

Lmao

[mortal grail]

Ikr ☠️☠️

P2 tho

[sweet sun]

mine is epic a tier

a750gf

[hoary zodiac]

that's not what I mean

[sweet sun]

i finally got a gf
