I AM THE RULES

Like I've already said, get some software to look at the clock speeds and voltage of the mx230 while gaming

flint surge

#

& then compare those values to the spec for an mx230

WJAT DO I DO

#

ILL UNPLUG IT

That's probably fine for a laptop

#

I think the newer laptop CPUs are rated to 105°C

ok so its fine

AMD 9800X3D reviews go live the day before launch Plenty of time to make a decision.  If there’s one thing PC enthusiasts aren’t fond of, it’s reviews going live at the same time as sales officially start. This timing often leaves little room to read or watch reviews in-depth before making an informed decision. Some […]

Oh it's 100C for the 1065g7

i think the title is right im cooked

#

it crashed

#

at this point i consider going linux

rancid juniper
#

lmfao

flint surge
#

jk

#

and also forgot to say

#

linux ran with no probl

#

@worn wave

worn wave
#

Like you don't get the plugged in issue?

rancid juniper
#

@flint surge use throttlestop

flint surge
worn wave
#

Huh

flint surge
#

faulty drivers?

#

like there is a huge difference in minecraft

#

too

#

like i go from 20fps

#

to

#

120

#

100fps more

#

on the nvidia card too

#

and i never got the plugged in issue at all

#

@worn wave

worn wave
flint surge
#

what should i do now?

#

is ther a temp solution

#

and last time i dual booted linux the bootloader gone

#

grub nuked

worn wave
#

Tbh I'd probably do a windows reinstall.

flint surge
#

just did one 3 months ago

#

due to faulty ssf

#

ssd*

#

guess ill be stuck

#

because if i run live linux then

#

the usb is hot

#

if i dualboot

#

the grub nukes itslef

worn wave
#

Could also try driver reinstall for the mx230. Or maybe power limiting/undervolting

flint surge
#

its drawing only 19volts

dusk knot
flint surge
#

man ill open fury benchmark to show you

worn wave
#

19 watts?

flint surge
#

and ill screenshot

flint surge
#

lemme check

#

yes

#

19W

#

intel iris

#

bench

#

i meant

#

nvidida

#

nvidia vulkan bit better

worn wave
#

Techpowerup says the mx230 is 10W, benchmark shows 11W, so that seems ok. Temps don't look high enough to throttle that hard

#

Idk

#

Driver issue maybe

flint surge
#

so what is happening?'

#

drivers are latest

#

and just reinsttalle them

#

intel iris bit beter but 0 stutter

worn wave
#

It doesn't show gpu power

flint surge
#

ok iris outpeforming its life

#

guess im stuck

#

ill just run linux mint live

worn wave
#

Those all say mx230 at the top. Idk if it's properly switching GPUs

flint surge
#

if i just find a way to dualboot then im good

flint surge
#

performance difference

#

here ill retry

#

mhm

#

remarkble notes

#

lower res= better fps

#

ok gtg bye thx for the help really much

What's this non sense with Newegg limited buyers for certain parts? I tried to purchase 3 x 3 pack of Phanteks T30 they limited me to buying 2 packs. If I try to order a single pack they cancel it.

this guy is scared to ping mods

okay $1 difference but that's a pretty decent upgrade lol

hoary zodiac
#

they made a new P12?

idle nexus
#

@balmy dragon something to consider ^^

idle nexus

LOL this makes zero sense. The options are: 1 black P12 Max: $9.99; 1 white P12 max: $16.50; & 5 black P12 Max: $35.99 https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-P12-Max-Pack-Black/dp/B0CC8V6PHJ/ref=sr_1_5?

maybe it's more cost effective for them to ship them in bulk

my current pc's a laptop so

idle nexus

you know that whole, "if a tree falls in the woods . . . did it make a sound?" thing? At what point of "upgrading" your current build does it become a new one? lol

hoary zodiac
#

can haswell still handle modded minecraft?

idle nexus
#

my guess is it depends which one lol

hoary zodiac
#

i5 4570 or something

idle nexus
#

5960X 4790K probably lol

#

also "modded" minecraft is a little generic I'd think

hoary zodiac
#

true

idle nexus
#

now Vanilla minecraft for sure

hoary zodiac
#

I got enough ram to handle it

#

let's say

idle nexus
#

if it plays on Nintendo Switch it'll basically work on anything

hoary zodiac
#

create mod + a couple extra random mods

#

that shouldn't be too heavy on a quad core right?

idle nexus
#

also I'm really not sure how much of an impact DDR3 v. DDR4 would be

hoary zodiac
#

I got 32GB of DDR3 1600

idle nexus
#

I've never actually watched hwinfo during minecraft gaming but isn't it pretty heavy on single core?

hoary zodiac
#

yeah

#

actually...

#

the broadwell xeons might be decent

#

some of the lower core count ones

#

oh god it's $40 for a 8 core xeon E7

worn wave
#

There's also just general client side mods that greatly increase performance. Check out Sodium to start

hoary zodiac
#

I usually run paper with my vanilla server because it runs better than standard spigot

#

not sure about modded tho

storm narwhal
idle nexus
#

optifine? maybe?

worn wave
#

optifine is forge

idle nexus
idle nexus

#

yeah that used to be my go-to before Sodium came around

#

in terms of perf increase the fabric mods do wayyy more

idle nexus
#

tbh I'm not a huge Minecraft person

storm narwhal
#

Let's say you have a ship, one of those really old ones made of wood

worn wave
#

Nvidium is pretty crazy, only works on Nvidia cards though.

storm narwhal
#

One day, one of the boards becomes damaged, so obviously you replace it

hoary zodiac
#

I mean

idle nexus
#

okay I'm still following lol

storm narwhal
#

And as time goes on, more and more pieces of the ship need to be replaced

#

More boards, maybe the sail, the rudder

hoary zodiac
#

that also applies to human biology

storm narwhal
#

And as you keep replacing parts on that ship, you begin to wonder

#

Is that ship now still the same ship?

hoary zodiac
#

It is pretty likely that not a single cell CURRENTLY in your body was there when you were born

storm narwhal
#

Is the ship of Theseus still the ship of Theseus?

#

If every part of it has been replaced?

tranquil pebble
#

Intel HD 4000 is enough to run Minecraft lol

idle nexus
velvet summit
storm narwhal
#

But it's still a ship with the same shape and function

idle nexus
#

it's kind of like when car restorers find a derelict ultra rare car in a barn or something

#

they end up replacing the overwhelming marjority of parts

storm narwhal
#

But also yes

idle nexus
#

so ig the real find there is a VIN you can use to say your final product is the ultra rare car?

storm narwhal
#

The car of Theseus

velvet summit
#

VIN could be on the engine
or it could be on the frame

idle nexus
#

time to rename it the Car of Segue Sebastian imo

sinful blade
#

@idle nexus do you have any arc gpu experience

idle nexus
#

I do not tbh

velvet summit
#

VIN on engine is for not-cars (like mopeds or whatever)
VIN on frame is for cars and trucks and such

tranquil pebble

#

I wanted to get one to support Intel but that's kind of a silly reason to buy it

while cars ususally have it in multiple places

tranquil pebble

does it play worse or better at 1440p? like if you try to push the load more to GPU

what about FSR?

is it like a sata or something

and i also have a 3700x

tranquil pebble

#

oh

velvet summit

#

ahahahaha

tranquil pebble
#

A sata cant do that

velvet summit
#

i dont think sata could saturate that unless like

#

raid

#

especially (software) raid with parity like raid 5 rather than raid 1

tranquil pebble
#

MSI M480 Pro... it saturates the 3700X with ease

# proud jackal Everything is broke on 24h2

lol except Ryzen somehow but ya, if you watch GN videos about 285K at least, they say it wasn't ready for launch because of the amount of issues. Odds are the windows performance issues should be patched soon at least. I'm sure Intel is all over Microsoft on that one

tranquil pebble

that isnt running in spec anymore then

hoary zodiac
#

what the hell

#

why is google is in my messaging app

idle nexus
#

the point being, you can absolutely get a daily stable memory OC but it can be extremely time-consuming

tranquil pebble
#

last time I tried a memory OC, system refused to post until I reverted to stock

proud jackal
#

What do you use to check memory stability

plus I easily lose track of things, which makes it even worse

idle nexus
#

here's the excel spreadsheet for my 5900x third attempt at memory OC

idle nexus
#

the good thing is tho, on 3700x you can probably find a pretty good starting point

tranquil pebble
#

re-doing the same mistakes is exactly what I would end up doing

idle nexus
#

for example, Zen 2, it is extremely rare from my understanding that FCLK will do anything higher than 1800mhz just like it's extremely rare to get >1900mhz FCLK on Zen 3 (unless you're using monolithic die CPUs like 5600g or something but that's kinda irrelevant so nvm)

#

tldr: don't bother trying to go over 3600 on memory & 1800 FCLK lol

oh no

idle nexus
#

the problem was in the end I mean

proud jackal
idle nexus
#

well at least as far as I can tell because I ordered new ones & we'll see but

#

IT WAS THE PSU TO GPU CABLES

#

i barely tweaked my memory but im happy anyways

#

ram oc bs will make you insane

idle nexus
# rancid juniper bru

well it kinda worked out cuz memory seems rock stable ever since I stumbled on 68.6ohm for ProcODT but ya... I ran over 400 VT3 iterations on ycruncher & build up enough confidence to reinstall win11

#

things seemed finally fixed then hard crash like before I began this maddness

rancid juniper
#

you have to stop this...

#

💀

idle nexus
#

so I cleared CMOS, cut all my core offset magnitudes by half & it worked for like a day then did it again

storm narwhal
#

W11 is the problem

rancid juniper
#

this is comical

idle nexus
#

I finally got it running again & noticed one of the 4x6+2s to 12vhpwr cables was sticking out goofy from under the PSU shroud

#

so I opened the side & pushed it under & the whole system did the hard crash thing

#

I'm like wait

#

what

tranquil pebble
#

ngl I still dont trust 12vhpwr adapters

idle nexus
#

so I unplugged my GPU & ran off iGPU & it worked flawlessly

#

so I plugged GPU back in & switched the PCIe riser & it wouldn't POST

rancid juniper
#

old pcie power method still works

idle nexus
#

disconnected GPU again, POSTed like nothing

#

ez

#

so I drained my gosh darn loop AGAIN & connected GPU to the stupid dreadlock looking adapters it came with on another PSU & it runs fine

rancid juniper
#

instead of seeking more power they should focus more on efficiency (not core ultra tho, wtf were they cooking)

idle nexus
#

then I tested continunity on ALL 48 of the wires from PSU to 12vhpwr & they all tested out

#

but that was outside the case not all squished where any breaks in splices, etc. probably wouldn't be noticed

#

to this day I do not understand how the wires can be slightly moved & cause system crash

#

yet I ran almost 900w through them without any issues

tranquil pebble
idle nexus
#

if there was a bad splice or something you'd think it would arc under that much load

#

which sucks cuz I wish it would

#

I would rather the cables catch on fire so I know where & what the damn problem is lol

#

that's the point I'm at

#

I was going to cut the heatshrink off of all the splices & redo them & heck, maybe even solder them since I can kinda do that now & definitely could use the practice lol

#

but since I guess there's still a possibility the issue is actually with the motherboard somehow, I just ordered new ones

#

& I wasn't exactly thrilled at the idea of resplicing & redoing the heatshrink for 48 cables at 8 different splices

rancid juniper
idle nexus
#

tbh I'm mad at myself for not making my own damn cables out of 14awg solid thhn wire like two years ago when I said I wanted to lol

idle nexus
#

all the mod would do is replace this file which I imagine is in like C:[User]\My Documents\My Games\Hogwarts Whatever if it's anything like Fallout's config files

i.e., you could look at that file & open it in notepad & try some of the edits yourself

#

or download the file separate & compare yours to theirs

I saved some other performance and battery by lowering the screen res, and my refresh down to 24hz (which honestly is not even remotely bothering me?)

I have this same Acer NVMe & it's great but heck it runs toasty

hoary zodiac
#

It was one of the better priced 4TBs I could find

idle nexus
#

mine is a mere 2tb lol

hoary zodiac
#

It's a relatively high quality drive for a reasonable price

#

I'm not booting on it so it helps

idle nexus
#

I ended up using the derpy heatsink my motherboard came with that has a built-in fan for a 5.0 PCIe NVMe

hoary zodiac
#

my gen 3 ssd is the boot drive

idle nexus
#

I know it's not gen 5 but that did help with thermals for me

hoary zodiac
#

yeah gen 4s can get quite toasty

#

That was one of my bigger concerns with this ssd

idle nexus
#

some of the reviews I read did mention the heat concerns

#

unfortunately I hadn't read them until after I got it lol

#

I probably still would've gotten it anyway tho

#

I already had WD, Solidigm, & Hynix NVMes installed & I prefer they not match so I'm not totally confused when I reinstall windows lol

hoary zodiac
#

lol

#

can relate

idle nexus

lol kinda dumb but it annoys me ya

hoary zodiac

yeah

#

It's even scarier on linux when all you have is a cli

yeeeeeeee

idle nexus
#

lol I thought that was supposed to be launch date

gilded kraken
#

nah thats like the 10th I think

idle nexus
#

I like how 7800X3D magically went up to like $400+ when it was down to like $330 or something 6 months ago ahead of launch

nvm looks like its the 7th

Both GPU & CPU run off of one fan.

ig they don't want the whole, "buy last gen for better deal" thing that made 9xxx non-X3D look kinda bogus to happen again

hoary zodiac
#

It's like they're trying to do everything to screw over the consumer

gilded kraken
#

I mean its going to be such a massive improvement over the 5800x its going to be silly

#

going to wait a month or so for updates to code and such to settle and buy in like december

#

and then cry because a large amount of money is about to vanish

Ok so... Now that I took off my power tune on this laptop, its WAY faster, but the battery fell off a cliff-

Like, I knew the power limit I had would increase it, but I lost like 65% of my battery life

storm narwhal
fair onyx
idle nexus
fresh nova
#

idk

storm narwhal
#

ExFAT still applies to external storage in general iirc

#

If you use it on something other than Windows

fresh nova
#

Someone said exfat was faster

idle nexus
#

I'd go NTFS unless you plan on pulling your drive & putting it in a mac lol

storm narwhal
#

Eh

idle nexus
#

cuz macOS can't read NTFS iirc

fresh nova
#

I just need it for instalation media

idle nexus
#

there's a newer partition format

fair onyx
#

woaahhh, my CPU voltage is wayyy higher

storm narwhal
#

In theory NTFS adds a little overhead for journaling and stuff?

fair onyx
#

with the power limit, it was at 0.76v, now its at 1.2

storm narwhal
#

But I don't think it'll make a real difference

idle nexus
fair onyx
#

oh, right

storm narwhal
fair onyx
idle nexus
storm narwhal
#

Oh wait if it's for windoww install just let the tool do fat32

idle nexus
#

otherwise, ig it's possible that you could get firmware update through windows update

storm narwhal
#

"Asus TUF A15 BIOS" or something idk

#

Whatever laptop you have

idle nexus
#

my stupid surfacebook3 gets its firmware updates through windows update but they really don't do anything to make it suck less but I digress. It's also a microsoft product so getting updates like that through windows update makes more sense

fair onyx
#

ok, my laptop has an update hub, cool

tranquil pebble
idle nexus
#

latest BIOS? AGESA affects that type of stuff iirc

fair onyx
#

oh, the hub did nothing

#

tranquil pebble
#

MSI X570 Gaming Edge Wifi, latest bios

#

BIOS versions have had no effect on the boosting

fair onyx
#

I wish I would have waited and got an SDX laptop with way better battery life lmao

#

oh well, it is what it is

tranquil pebble
#

honestly probably just need to rebuild on AM5

#

and get an actually good mobo this time

idle nexus
tranquil pebble
#

depends ig

#

but most likely yes, so I have less hassle with putting a 9800x3d in there

idle nexus
#

maybe just enable this game boost thing to see if that improves things at all without having to do a deep dive into BIOS settings?

#

you might be able to enable it with MSI's super awesome software

#

the artist formerly known as Dragon Center

#

I think it's just MSI Center now

#

& you get it from the Microsoft Store so that can only lead to good things lol

tranquil pebble
#

Game boost reduces multithread performance when I tried

fair onyx
#

waitin waitin waitin

idle nexus
#

sounds like something MSI would do lol

tranquil pebble
#

I think I just need a new CPU... and its not worth buying another AM4 CPU

idle nexus
fair onyx
#

alright, I can check that as well

idle nexus
#

5700X3D is a decent upgrade if you're not trying to build a new system

tranquil pebble
#

5700x3d also costs $600 on ebay last I checked

idle nexus
#

you sure that's not 5800X3D? I know those got EOLed so scalpers gotta be heckers

tranquil pebble
#

oh maybe

idle nexus
#

5700X3D has like slightly lower clocks than 5800X3D but better value from what I understand

worthy tapir
#

I had nothing but issues when I had my msi x570

idle nexus
#

lol sale ends in 3 hours? what lol

#

$186 for 5700X3D

fair onyx
#

woah, thats a good deal

#

if you wanna game, that is

idle nexus
#

sold/shipped by Newegg one is $229

fair onyx
#

that is really not bad

tranquil pebble

damn I didn't realize you were gonna move so quick on it haha

and it costs an armm and a leg

the 285k is maybe a smidge faster than the 9950X sometimes maybe if you are lucky and overlook all of the ways its slower and worse

small survey sample of one game but :

ig the 5700x3d will hold me over for a long while

fair onyx

ya'll... all I am doing is using discord 😭

AHHAHAHAHAHAH

#

how

fair onyx
#

in some games, the 7800X3D has almost a 30% lead over the 285k which is MENTAL

idle nexus
#

okay seriously tho G.O.A.T. (of what the hell is Intel doing): 11900K or 285K? lol

hoary zodiac

at this point it should be called a xeon

does anyone know any good laptops around $200

that's interesting

do they sell refurbs?

some are refurbs others ig are overstocks

they don't hide that it's a refurb

not suggesting those just showing you first results lol

there's like a conspiracy on shopgoodwill tho I'm convinced when it comes to graphics cards

#

it's like wait, someone bid that high no way

#

like maybe I'd bid on this but there's 1d 21hr left & somehow when there's like 3 hours left someone will have bid it up to like $140

#

in which case nvm

tranquil pebble
#

likely bots tbh

idle nexus
#

oh & it's not like ebay

#

their auction system is far more archaic

#

I actually wanted this like collection of water cooling fittings I found on there once

#

I tried to do my usual no bids until the last 15-30 seconds

#

annnd I couldn't get the bid in

#

ebay I'm all about that sniper pew pew

#

cuz why bid ahead of time? drive the price up for no reason? let people know they have competition? I don't understand the logic. It's like showing your cards early or something

#

it probably doesn't help sellers but don't hate the player, hate the game lol

hoary zodiac
#

how's ebay

idle nexus
#

I haven't bought anything on there in awhile now tbh

hoary zodiac

I found a decent one

#

really cheap too

#

wait the bios is password locked bruh

idle nexus
#

last thing I bought on ebay actually wasn't that long ago. $.99 + $6 shipping lol

#

why the 2080ti I have came with a 3-slot bracket, I do not know

#

but it made it that I couldn't do vertical mount in 5000D for my son's 5900x/2080ti build & in turn, made my loop kinda ugly

#

been meaning to swap it but I haven't gotten around to it

sinful blade

Helped wife upgrade to an iPhone 13 she got from a relative from her 11 pro max

She’s flabbergasted on how I did it

hoary zodiac
#

is it even possible to bypass a bios password lock

idle nexus
#

kinda worried cuz now I can't remember where I put the new bracket lol

#

ehh I dunno some of those laptops can be ridiculously secure

hoary zodiac
#

on a laptop

#

yeah enterprise laptops are annoying

#

It's so cheap tho

idle nexus
#

I mean, of course there are ways like if you soldered on a new BIOS chip but that's a little extreme if you ask me lol

#

I watched a Linus video & I think it was Lenovo office PC or something but anyway, it had an option to basically marry the CPU to the board

#

so they put in a 5600G & let it do its whatever thing & long story short, the 5600G wouldn't run on other motherboards anymore

tranquil pebble
#

itd be fun to see what laptop chips would do if they had desktop coolers attached

idle nexus
#

so ya that enterprise stuff can be nuts. I wouldn't really want that headache personally

idle nexus

isn't like 12600HX & 12900HX iirc

That was one of the most complicating Windows 11 installs ever.

You need storage drivers now for all 11th, 12th & 13th gen Intel laptops
