light theme warning

it's quite bright lmfao

my eyes hurt from this page

[rancid juniper]

lol

[raven river]

ur looking at the 360 pro

im talking about the 350

[velvet summit]

i dont see a 350 pro

is it from asus? because asus doesnt have a "b350 wifi pro"

hmm

[raven river]

myb it was called b550 wifi pro sorry was in 2 bowls deep if yk

[velvet summit]

oh

yeah the 360 pro is fairly old

[mortal grail]

Lmfaoooo

@raven river was it amd or intel

[velvet summit]

except even that doesnt have a wifi varient 😭 there's only a b550 plus wifi

the b550 pro doesnt have wifi

at least from what i see from google

[mortal grail]

Can you have wifi

[raven river]

wait it was b650 sorry

[mortal grail]

I want to connect to u 343

Haha

[raven river]

i promise that’s the right model😭

[mortal grail]

Well I know one thing

My secrets are safe with you lad

😂😂

Police ever interrogate you for the crimes I did they'd never be able to figure out which one it was ☠️

[velvet summit]

i have airfi

[raven river]

ok i am in network control right now is that where i’m suppose to be

[unreal trail]

💀

[velvet summit]

is it a b650 plus wifi
because i dont see a pro wifi for the b650 asus either

[mortal grail]

AS LONG AS IT SAYS WIFI

It dun matter lmao

💀💀

[nocturne flicker]

They always ask wifi but they never ask howfi

[velvet summit]

I MEAN THEY COULD BE EITHER USING INTEL OR MEDIATEK OR WHATEVER

[mortal grail]

You know what would fix that

[velvet summit]

whofi

[mortal grail]

Lowkey armoury crate

Lmao

Driver tab would fix everything

[raven river]

yeah

[velvet summit]

lmao

well, this makes a new problem
the drivers are pretty much definitely right, why would the wifi not work

[mortal grail]

Dead wifi card is probable

[storm narwhal]

Indeed

[storm narwhal]

I'll do you one better, WHOFI

[opaque sedge]

it does list out the necessary wireless and audio drivers even though i am saying this begrudgingly

[mortal grail]

It does but you'd accomplish the goal of getting wifi on there without any confusing steps

Question then is nuking armoury crate off after

[storm narwhal]

Revouninstaller?

[lone mango]

Burgerfi

[tranquil pebble]

Mikufi

[wicked oriole]

So when I get a new pc, is Asus or asrock a better MB? I'm gonna steer clear from MSI

[mortal grail]

[nocturne flicker]

Lorefi presented to you by Theorist Media

[mortal grail]

Every brand has good boards, every brand has hot smoking garbage boards

[tranquil pebble]

There are brands that only make garbage but generally these are literally unheard of names lol

[spark halo]

The dumpster behind mcdonalds wifi.

[wicked oriole]

I thought asus/asrock were pretty big?

[spark halo]

They are.

[tranquil pebble]

they are

[nocturne flicker]

Doesn't mean they can't put out good, bad and meh products all at the same time

[wicked oriole]

OK so between Asrock B650M-C or ASUS PRIME B650M-A which one is the better pick?

[spark halo]

Neither, you pick neither.

[wicked oriole]

Rip

[spark halo]

https://tenor.com/view/bart-simpson-the-simpsons-at-least-you-tried-fail-failure-gif-7859548

[wicked oriole]

ASUS TUF GAMING B650-PLUS?

[spark halo]

@tranquil pebble

[tranquil pebble]

?

[wicked oriole]

Or ASROCK X670E PG Lightning?

[spark halo]

You looking at this right

[wicked oriole]

All bad selections?

[tranquil pebble]

that x670e board looks decent

[spark halo]

Could be worse.

[velvet summit]

msi is also big

[spark halo]

https://tenor.com/view/look-what-yep-this-gif-13617583

[wicked oriole]

Msi I wanna stay from. After the one I got their MB seems to be having issues

[velvet summit]

msi is also a multibilion dollar company

[tranquil pebble]

All brands have stinkers

[spark halo]

Correct

[velvet summit]

also most of the msi stuff i've used are fine

[wicked oriole]

I kept getting red cpu light and yellow dram lights, and I did everything. I'm moving to faulty board

[velvet summit]

maybe not the best out of all the competition, but they dont exclusively put out trash

[spark halo]

The biggest question is amd or intel

[tranquil pebble]

And even good boards get defective units sometimes

[wicked oriole]

Amd 7800x3d

[spark halo]

https://tenor.com/view/knight-stare-helmet-knights-tale-count-adhemar-gif-7306262

So you need an amd board

[icy ore]

yup

my womier W key stopped working 😦

[mortal grail]

Neither, both rubbish

[wicked oriole]

Yes which I'd like to choose from asus or asrock

[wicked oriole]

ASROCK X670E PG Lightning better?

[mortal grail]

Did you warranty claim for psu yet

[wicked oriole]

I'm sending the whole pc back and getting my money back

[nocturne flicker]

Get none and go for a Gaming X V2 from Gigabyte. I think. Are the Gaming X V2s the better ones?

[mortal grail]

I see

[wicked oriole]

GIGABYTE B650 AORUS ELITE AX

[mortal grail]

Well easier answer rather than asking a list of questions, give me a budget and a purpose of the pc, and I'll make a list

No 20Q needed

[wicked oriole]

Yeah I got it, and like 5 minutes into cod I had a crash, and it hasn't worked the same since. And I've done everything

[wicked oriole]

I wanna be at ~2200-2300 max before taxes, prefer to go to micro center and have them build it for me, but tbh I don't think that's gonna happen 😦 I want a 7800x3d cpu and 4080 super minimum but I don't see that happening

Skytech has a decent build I want in that price range, but idk if I wanna trust another pre built. I know I didn't buy from the best company but this left a sour taste in my mouth and ruined my birthday

[mortal grail]

Can you bring up the price of the microcenter 7800x3d bundle for me at your local center and I'll go from there

[wicked oriole]

It'd be for Overland park kansas

[mortal grail]

Brb

[spark halo]

Time to go back into the brush.

[spark halo]

For i am no longer required.

[opaque sedge]

i love this guy

[fervent stump]

Do they make 8k monitors

[opaque sedge]

eh it has some style atleast, 40 bucks more than the fake b650-e mobo one

fake b650-e cuz of the confusing naming

cuz the chipset is still b650

one stick of ram strikes again

[fervent stump]

Omg omg omg I found the best fans ever

And they are soooo cheap

[fervent stump]

Those bundles are soo good sometimes but they don’t have the colors I want or the cpu 😭

[fervent stump]

They attach

[opaque sedge]

respectfully they are not the best rn

[fervent stump]

Yea I get it

[opaque sedge]

This is a great microcenter bundle!

Which isn’t the same price anymore…

[mortal grail]

Pff this was easy

https://tenor.com/view/seriously-seriously-cat-cat-really-cat-really-look-cat-look-gif-5524432498705390840

[fervent stump]

Wait when did they lower the price of that gpu it was 1100 yesterday

[mortal grail]

https://us-store.msi.com/PC-Components/Storage-Devices/Solid-State-Drive/M482-NVMe-M2-2TB-Bulk

Idk

[fervent stump]

:o such a great deal

[opaque sedge]

Man feels like i missed out not getting a 4080 super the build would’ve been under 1800 for me

But well didn’t have the money

So didn’t miss out?

[fervent stump]

If your happy now that’s good

[mortal grail]

7900xt is better value

[opaque sedge]

Cuz ya can’t miss something you never had the chance to get

[mortal grail]

Also I know how you feel about msi rn @wicked oriole but there's simply no alternative choice to that ssd

[fervent stump]

What’s going on with the price it was 320 a few days ago

[opaque sedge]

He’s got a micro near him right? Pretty sure a yt has a 25 buck discount coupon link cuz he’s sponsored by microcenter i used that for my t500

[mortal grail]

Bundle price

[mortal grail]

Ya if you've got that then link it for him

That was honestly the easiest full white build I've done

And it has the new peerless cooler

Absolute ripper

[fervent stump]

Ohhhh ok

[opaque sedge]

F looks like he removed it but theres a deal on this one in micro

https://www.microcenter.com/product/648488/wd-black-sn770-2tb-ssd-112l-tlc-nand-m2-2280-pcie-nvme-40-x4-internal-solid-state-drive

Its 125

[rancid juniper]

LMFAO thoughts?

[wicked oriole]

Thank you

[mortal grail]

Pass

Worse than m482

[mortal grail]

[opaque sedge]

Yoooo it still works i found the url

[mortal grail]

Heyyyy

@wicked oriole check that out^

[opaque sedge]

its micro.center/YEE026

[rancid juniper]

bro doesn't like advertising ig

[opaque sedge]

Gotta spend a 100 first to use it btw

[mortal grail]

He'll get that 100

[opaque sedge]

Which ssd you gonna recommend now?

[mortal grail]

M482

It was linked

[opaque sedge]

Doesn’t seem like micro carries it

[mortal grail]

I could hear the scrolling

Yes they don't

I'm not recommending everything from micro center

I recommended the bundle only

[opaque sedge]

Ah ic

I would recommend getting the gpu from there too since they price match stuff

I had issues with my first 7900xt and they were super cooperative with exchanging it for me

And it was quick

[mortal grail]

Should note @wicked oriole you should order the other stuff online or price match them in store, then have it built

They'll build with parts you bring in

That list is not full micro center intentionally

[wicked oriole]

Gotcha, I appreciate that

I really may try to do it myself tbh

[sweet phoenix]

G50

Or g70

[opaque sedge]

I just found my next ssd

[sweet phoenix]

Firecuda 530, fx900 pro, and adata premium are all similar to g70 and also $130

[wicked oriole]

Cyber power also has good deals on them just building it for me, but yall said they were bad too 😦

[sweet phoenix]

Cbp isn't horrible, but far from good value

I'd much rather buy separate parts and pay someone local to build it

[wicked oriole]

That's fair

And same

[opaque sedge]

Looks like they carry the firecuda

This the same one?

[sweet phoenix]

Ye

[mortal grail]

We have vids to help if you need it

[sweet phoenix]

Lemme double check it rq

[wicked oriole]

This was suppose to be my birthday present and of course with my luck I got a junker 😦

[wicked oriole]

Yeah I saw haha

Really it just seems like setting up cpu and wiring for everything is the hardest part

[sweet phoenix]

Yeah it is

[opaque sedge]

What does this mean?

[sweet phoenix]

Fc 530 good ssd

[opaque sedge]

Does it mean its more reliable and less prone to degrade?

[sweet phoenix]

Tbw is one of the only things I don't understand with ssds

[sweet phoenix]

But basically this yes

I have no clue why though

[opaque sedge]

Damn i might grab it

[sweet phoenix]

Or what tbw actually means

[opaque sedge]

Checks wallet:

Empty

[sweet phoenix]

Just grab it off the shelf

Run out the door

Smh

[opaque sedge]

I still haven’t gotten a controller for elden ring either

[sweet phoenix]

(Don't do this)

[wicked oriole]

I'm kind of loving this build too? And maybe I could offer a bit less since used?

https://www.jawa.gg/product/36925/absolutely-stunning-no-compromise-4k1440-gamingwork-station-7800x3d32gddr54080super2tbnvme

[mortal grail]

M482 better for the minute afaik

[sweet phoenix]

M482 dramless no?

[frosty sinew]

its onnnnn @fervent stump

[mortal grail]

Is it?

[frosty sinew]

no fire yet

[sweet phoenix]

Pretty sure it is

Qlc

[opaque sedge]

Pretty sure he’s using used parts

[mortal grail]

It's 162L TLC

But I couldn't confirm dram

[wicked oriole]

He is, figured I could offer like 2k on it and save some $

[mortal grail]

I made you a cheaper list new with the same spec lmao

[opaque sedge]

Just build it yourself will be spending 2k anyways 👁️👄👁️

[wicked oriole]

Fair fair, ill go with that once I get my money back then lol

[fervent stump]

Huh?

[opaque sedge]

With brand new parts with warranties and a micro ducking center

Would be stupid not to get the crap yourself

[frosty sinew]

#general-chat message lol

[mortal grail]

Ah yeah it is dramless mb @sweet phoenix

Still good tho

[frosty sinew]

oh nice got a better binned one too

[sweet phoenix]

No it's ok, I think I got yelled at on reddit about it

[frosty sinew]

4.7ghz

[opaque sedge]

What does dram do? Is it the l3 cache of ssds?

[mortal grail]

This would be about, p400 lite tier

Still good

[opaque sedge]

(I don’t understand l3 cache)

[sweet phoenix]

For daring to recommend a very fast ssd at $110 when a better drive was $30 more in an $800 budget or some crap like that

[fervent stump]

Ohhhhh that’s good what have you been doing with it?

[opaque sedge]

What tier is the t500

[worthy meteor]

Usually they just use a TeraByte Written (TBW) rating for warranty purposes, they just cover you writing that much to the drive or whatever time they cover the warranty for

[opaque sedge]

Give it to me straight i can take it

[mortal grail]

Dram is like the cache above your highest cache level on the cpu

[frosty sinew]

just installed it now im running r23 lol

[mortal grail]

So if you have yoyr highest is L3 cache, dram is like L4

Highest L2, DRAM L3

[fervent stump]

Oh ok that’s nice

[mortal grail]

Highest L5, DRAM L6

[opaque sedge]

What component would have l2?

[mortal grail]

It's the next cache it opts to

Cpu ofc

Each cache is coded for different operations

[opaque sedge]

So the processing of data becomes quicker?

[worthy meteor]

For SSDs, dram is usually used for mapping info, like where to find which pieces of data, when a drive uses HMB, they store that mapping info on your ram instead

[opaque sedge]

Cuz its more systematic?

[mortal grail]

Well L1 is the fastest, L2 slower

L3 slower than that

But all very fast

Much faster than dram

But each are picked and chosen also for the type of work

[opaque sedge]

Do all cpus have l1 l2 and l3 at once?

[velvet summit]

l1-3 are on cpu ususally

[mortal grail]

So it's not a blanket "This is better"

[fervent stump]

I wanna do this right when I get my computer sooo badly

[mortal grail]

Most do

Nowadays

[opaque sedge]

Wbt the 7800x3d?

[fervent stump]

How many people do you think have a 4080s?

[mortal grail]

A massive amount of it

[opaque sedge]

And why is l3 cache capacity considered more important?

[velvet summit]

i mean, if we could have 1tb of l1 cache, that would be cool

[mortal grail]

It's important if it can be used

[tranquil pebble]

no not all but most... for x86 usually there is l1 l2 and l3... old enough CPU have no cache

[velvet summit]

probably

[mortal grail]

The faster the cache, the faster the cpu, literally

[opaque sedge]

Damn and how does intel do in this sector?

[mortal grail]

...just fine?

[velvet summit]

amd has the most cache in the consumer cpu space at least

[mortal grail]

Lol

Intel had X3D years before AMD

It had a different name and different design

Abandoned arch

[opaque sedge]

Is x3d tech perfected?

[mortal grail]

Nope

[velvet summit]

is anything really perfected? there's pretty much always room for improvements

[mortal grail]

X3D is inherently hot, they can make it better

[worthy meteor]

Intel developed the tech first but didn't put it into a product first

[velvet summit]

i mean, x86 itself isnt a perfect arch

[worthy meteor]

still hasn't

A stock being on it means it is very important and is highly traded. Being removed from it hurts the stock as it means less attention is placed on the stock, meaning less trades of it will be made and the value of it might go down overall

Anyone mind checking for the lowest priced “worth it” pc on Jawa?

Need to find a present

They like flashy colours if that helps

[elfin mural]

oh boy that's a task

[opaque sedge]

Its kind of a weird model to me ngl, cuz people are selling builds and they’re gonna look for commission and jawa most likely takes a cut as fees for hosting the builds on their page so the commission fee rate is gonna be similar to pre builts but for used hardware

[sinful blade]

It’s profitable though
Profitable enough for LTT to partner with it

id probably

find something with the best parts for cheapest

mostly because i have disabilities

running a 300w+ consuming pc is expensive

something some people don't understand because they live in countries with sane rates

but if mobo broke on laptop tho.. its a headache 😦

[elfin mural]

that's something that never happened

for me personally

🍎

[elfin mural]

xd

[wary fjord]

8gb = 16gb if u think about it 🍎

xD

[grand kernel]

and 16gb = 32gb

and 32gb = 64gb

etc

[elfin mural]

16 = 32 at apple

[grand kernel]

so if you really think about it

[wary fjord]

gaslit go brr

[grand kernel]

8gb = infinite ram

[wary fjord]

8gb is enough for peasants 🍎

[elfin mural]

peasants who scrolls yt

[grand kernel]

spending 2k on a laptop but still a peasant

[dusk knot]

32gb+ or nothing

[elfin mural]

in a roblox server vc.. i heard someone flex their m3 max mbp..

"I HAVE 8TB BRO"

i cringed

to death

they got it with 128gb ram too

[misty sparrow]

"Apple's 8GB RAM on M3 MacBook Pro is Analogous to 16GB on PCs"

[wary fjord]

🍎 is the only one that build laptop cost 5 grand and it only has 1tb storage

[elfin mural]

WHAT DOES A ROBLOX PLAYER NEED THAT FOR

it costs more than multiple 4090 pcs

[grand kernel]

idk that might not be enough for roblox

[elfin mural]

they have

beamng, roblox, ac, blender on at the same time

insane

just a rich roblox nolifer lmao

[grand kernel]

you sound jealous

I bet you don't have 279 roblox gfs like he does

[elfin mural]

nah

[dusk knot]

Nice

[elfin mural]

it supports up to 240

[wary fjord]

i use to use the fpsunlocker

xD because 60 is rediculus it looks weird i cant go back from daily 144 to 60

[deep parcel]

144hz on Roblox looks nice

[elfin mural]

it just lacks vsync tho

[wicked oriole]

Also difference between aio cooling vs a cpu fan for cooling? Pros and cons?

[mortal grail]

If the air cooling is enough, it'll last longer/permanent

Aio can cool a bit better but prone to pump failure

The 7800X3D was given a cooler way beyond what it needs

Those things can run within 2% of maxed out on a stock amd cooler

[wicked oriole]

Gotcha, so normal fan cooling will be fine?

[mortal grail]

Yes

I put a massive one on there

It could really make do with a single tower thermalright for $20 but you had so much budget left over

So figured you may as well get one that lets you upgrade

Peerless 140 should likely be the best dual tower on the market rn

[wicked oriole]

https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder.aspx?load=9c03d122-0a6c-4935-a91c-d73322dcf96b

How's this looking? Case fans?

[mortal grail]

That's a fair bit more for a fair bit less

[wicked oriole]

So a good deal?

[mortal grail]

Other way round

Not nearly as good lol

I would call MC, ask them "if I bring in some parts and buy a bundle, can I pay you guys to put it together?" They should say yes

Then I would go buy from the list links while the deals are there and bring all that to MC

I had a cursory glance around MC before I sent the list, the bundle is good, didn't really see anything else

Unless you're prepared to be a serious pain on the day and price match about 80% of the list (The rest would still be better bought elsewhere)

[wicked oriole]

Okay, that's why I know the bundle is good but didn't know if I should wait. Maybe I buy the bundle from them rest I do off pc picker

[mortal grail]

Ye

That's what I'd do

[wicked oriole]

OK sweet

[mortal grail]

You get a much better value deal

Also you have higher resale with a white build

I can change it to black if you prefer

That part is easy

[wicked oriole]

I'm kind of on the fence too, should I wait for the 50's series to come out and see how it effects price? Or just wait

[wicked oriole]

Gotcha, didn't know that

Black Friday also coming up

[mortal grail]

My take on 50 series?

We're in a huge turn of inflation rn

US isn't experiencing it much but many parts of the world are

[wicked oriole]

I know they're gonna be pricey af but if it drops 4080 I'm down to wait

[mortal grail]

40 series was an active demonstration of shrinkflation

And this was while things were getting worse

My thoughts are really don't wait

At this point in time

If you plan to play in 4k 144+, wait

But if not, to me the 4080s is good at the price it is

It'll take months for that value to trickle down

We will probably see a 5080 at a 1300+ price tag

[wicked oriole]

1440p/4k but I think the 4080s will be perfect for a long while

[mortal grail]

And while 5080 could well be "50% better" than a 4080/s, it won't be much different to value when you compare a 950-1K card to 1300+

950 -1300 is already nearly 50% price jump

And I guarantee the 5080 won't be 1000

Huge inflation burst since 40 series dropped, there's just no way

[wicked oriole]

Gotcha, appreciate it!

[mortal grail]

Not unless they do some trickery like call it a 5080 but it's more like a 70 class card

Like they tried on 40 series

[mortal grail]

Np, I think black friday could be worth waiting for

It usually is

But for anything else, at this stage not really

Yeah dwelling on that thought a bit

Same thing happened with last gen to current gen iirc

We had 6900xts and 6950xts for great prices near 600

I'm doubling down on that, I am fairly sure of it

[paper verge]

Sup guys

[mortal grail]

Sky

[paper verge]

Just installed a new CPU cooler

And PC won't turn on

[mortal grail]

Reseat cpu

[paper verge]

How do I do that

[mortal grail]

Take it out

Put it back in

[paper verge]

Oh thought its technical

Ok

[mortal grail]

I mean, if all you did was change cooler that would be my guess

[paper verge]

Yeah yeah

[mortal grail]

Or maybe psu cables not plugged in

[paper verge]

No I'm sure its in

[mortal grail]

That's about it

[paper verge]

I mean I did slot the GPU out but didn't touch anything else

I had to do it to get the cooler out

[mortal grail]

What post light is it stuck on

[paper verge]

Nothing happens

When I try and turn it on

[mortal grail]

Like nothing nothing

[paper verge]

Nothing nothing

[mortal grail]

Or flash and nothing

Hm

That's something else then

Did you turn on the psu

[paper verge]

I tried a few power cord just in case

Yeah yeah

[mortal grail]

Did you plug the button in

[paper verge]

Yep

[mortal grail]

Try shorting the switch pins instead

[paper verge]

Switch pins?

[mortal grail]

Yep

Power switch pins

[paper verge]

Oh ok

[mortal grail]

Nothing nothing is something isn't plugged in or power switch is dead

[paper verge]

Its a rm850

I'm guessing it wouldn't die like that

[mortal grail]

Rm850 would turn back off if a short

It's not doing that

[paper verge]

Just in case I'm mentally ill

This is on right

[wicked oriole]

I appreciate that

[paper verge]

Yeah did short it but still nothing happenz

[mortal grail]

Ye it's switched on

Well something is missing to give the mobo power

[paper verge]

Yeah my power pins are in

I'm guessing PSU died?

[mortal grail]

You can paperclip test to check but I doubt

[paper verge]

How does that work

[mortal grail]

Google has like 5 great tutorials that pop up straight away

[paper verge]

Btw I just turned off my power cord but there's no way that kills a psu

[gentle canyon]

i think my pc phase is over

im not in here talking about stuff at all like i used to

[proud jackal]

[gentle canyon]

maybe cause i have no reason to upgrade my pc and nothing new or exciting is coming idk

[mortal grail]

Think most are like this rn

[gentle canyon]

also im scared to touch my pc after the mess that was my case swap

[mortal grail]

If intel stagnates, people will just change gpu and stop really caring lmao

[gentle canyon]

2 bad fans, and ended up somehow breaking my mobo, still have audio issues on certian games lol

[mortal grail]

Am5 moment tbh

[gentle canyon]

im sure their will be some talk again once rdna 4 and rtx 50 rolls around

i want a flagship radeon product that actually competes with a geforce flagship

thatd be the only reason to make me upgrade

also i just feel like ill never know enough about pcs to actually enjoy working on them

[paper verge]

Oh felix

I messed up

I was getting my GPU out

And idk I wasn't even pressing hard

But the thingy that pops it out

the one you push down

It poped

And now its loose

But my GPU is still it

Wtf

I had it unscrewed as well

Why tf did that happen

Oh it works now

Yo guys

Did I really brake my gpu?

Mobo I mean

[velvet summit]

It's just a latch

GPU is mainly held by friction on the contacts

[paper verge]

yeah but the latch is gone now

lol

[velvet summit]

Fell off?

[paper verge]

eh gpu still works

[paper verge]

nope just really loose

[velvet summit]

That's probably normal

You don't really actually need the PCIe latch

[paper verge]

yo btw the issue it seams was that i had it screwed too hard

[velvet summit]

It just keeps the GPU from falling out while in transport

[paper verge]

if you waere wondering

[paper verge]

yeah but how do i get my gpu out

lol

[velvet summit]

Pull

The latch doesn't push the GPU out

[paper verge]

ig pull really hard then

[velvet summit]

A 16x slot has a fair bit of friction

[paper verge]

yeah ok

well ggs boys i almost got worried there for a second

[mortal grail]

Ahh I wasn't thinking of that

Yeah that could do it

Lol

[paper verge]

yeah idk i might just use this pc as a server later on and get a new mobo gpu down the line

but that latch was kinda unexpected lol

[mortal grail]

Had to have been hella tight

[paper verge]

well ig i dont have a latch now but who cares

[mortal grail]

It essentially means one side was lifting

[paper verge]

no side was lifting

that i could saee

[velvet summit]

It probably moved it by like a millimeter

Lmfao

My latch barely moves it either

[mortal grail]

You wouldn't see it cos the pressure dispersion would've been the slightest shift

[paper verge]

well imma deal that when i decide to get the gpu out the next time ig

btw man those stupid latch fans are hella sketch

[mortal grail]

?

Wait you haven't fixed it?

[paper verge]

no i did

pc works now

[sweet phoenix]

felix

my 3060 ti is now hitting 106c hotspot

i think it might need a repaste

[mortal grail]

Yeah a bit

[idle crest]

Hi I had a question and I was hoping someone with more knowledge could answer. I recently reinstalled the nvidia game ready driver and did a clean install so it changed all my settings. I've noticed that when I'm in game settings on star wars outlaws I can't see the vram usage bar like I used to before. Any idea what I may have done to change this?

[deep parcel]

Vram usage on the Nvidia overlay?

[mortal grail]

I would glance at it once on hwinfo64 then never worry about it again

Also we don't suggest nvidia overlay here, presentmon and rtss however

Aida also good

GFE very bloaty

[idle crest]

No in game while looking at settings I used to see a bar that had the name of my gpu then the usage like 7gb out of 23gb but now I don't see it

This is a screen shot of a video and in the lower right hand corner you can see the yellow vram usage bar. I can no longer see that bar idk why

[mortal grail]

Sounds like a game glitch

Did you use ddu

If not then I'd start with that

?ddu

[topaz crown]

DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) Guide by Pato
https://github.com/NeweggTechie/Graphics-cards/wiki/How-to-use-DDU

[mortal grail]

Always use safe mode. No safe mode can aggravate the issues

If it persists after DDU it'll either be something else, or if nothing else changed, then the game itself has an issue

Outlaws is a new game iirc? So not all surprising if it has graphics glitches

as long as it's sata

[surreal kernel]

the hdd is slow ash bro

I swear

its 1tb but its a pain

and the 120 gig ssd I think will b enough for school

[velvet summit]

old pcs arent ususally slow because of their cpus (which tbf is part of it)

[surreal kernel]

considering I have a external ssd

[velvet summit]

it's the low amount of ram + slow 2.5" hdd

[surreal kernel]

it has a 3rd gen i5 lmao

and 6 gigs of ram

[velvet summit]

so loading things is slow, and it also needs swap memory because of the low amount of ram
