[velvet summit]

Oh

[crimson scroll]

Its missing the actual gpu die and vram its been soldered off

[velvet summit]

Warranty is generally non transferrable

[crimson scroll]

Still shows power tho

[velvet summit]

Oh

[crimson scroll]

Ah

Makes sense

[velvet summit]

You can't RMA that then 💀

[crimson scroll]

I figured

Wasnt gonna anyway

Dont trust rmas

[velvet summit]

If it was just damaged or whatever

[crimson scroll]

Its in pretty much mint condition

[velvet summit]

Why lmao

[crimson scroll]

Everything is as it was if it was new

[crimson scroll]

They could just take it and not give it back

[velvet summit]

That would be illegal

Unless you didn't buy the product

[crimson scroll]

Yea but they still do that

[lone mango]

[crimson scroll]

“Cough cough asus”

[velvet summit]

(Ferrari moment)

[crimson scroll]

Ferrari is ass

Always has been

[velvet summit]

Worst car company

[crimson scroll]

Yep

[lone mango]

Ferrari is like nvidia and lamborghini is like amd

Ferrari better but garbage company

[velvet summit]

Ferrari is worse than Nvidia

[lone mango]

Yeah

[velvet summit]

At least Nvidia allows GPU mods

[crimson scroll]

Nvidia is good tho

Nvidia is greedy tho

But they dont care if u break their stiff

They still got their money from it

Unlike ferrari

Actually nvidia hates us

[frigid stag]

Wdym allows they can’t stop you from doing it

They can only void your warranty

[fresh timber]

uuhhh

[crimson scroll]

My board is still dead

Can’t believe i did that bs

[fresh timber]

what u do..

[crimson scroll]

Did i not tell u?

[fresh timber]

no

[crimson scroll]

I forgot to cut psu off and hotswapped cpu wnd killed it

It turned on for a split second by itslef and just cut off never to work again

Is there a way to force the board to turn om?

It gives me the green power led

But nothing else

[dusk knot]

But if the 7090 was $8000 MSRP? You won't mind?

[crimson scroll]

Lol

I would buy it tbh

[acoustic palm]

Why

[crimson scroll]

Because none of my hardware is brand new

All used

Except psu and case

Ans fans but thats mot rlly hardware

Assuming im rich id buy it obv

[dusk knot]

Breh

Then it's $15000 for the 8090

[lone mango]

Poor money choices

[crimson scroll]

Idk thats allt

[dusk knot]

Lmao

😂

Alright...9090 is now 25000

You'll have to stop at some point

[crimson scroll]

Yea

I just want a good modern pc

[paper verge]

whoever actually decided to go and make that happen

is an absolute legend

a true chad

[crimson scroll]

Its been like that for a few years now

Sonce 2021-2022 i believe

[tranquil pebble]

No Intel, I will not ignore it.

[crimson scroll]

Gigabyte technical support is absolutely ass

I could see ftc telling gigabyte off

They need
To go after asus

[idle nexus]

my Asus 3060 had one of those. It now has a hole in it shaped like a philips screwdriver tip cuz 104C hotspot is terrible & it's because the paste was so dried out. Like seriously? am I supposed to RMA for this?

[rancid juniper]

naga_u art

[crimson scroll]

My mom sent me pics of the car

Its not totalled

The front isnt smashed in like i was told

Her tire and the suspension wnd stuff is destoryed

And theres a minor dent in the front lol

Like wut

[tranquil pebble]

that can be considered totaled if the repair would cost more than the car's value

[crimson scroll]

Probably ik how totalled works lol

Her tire is knocked out of place

I wanna send a pic but dont wanna doxx myself lmao

[dense locust]

I wasn’t expecting anyone to know who naga u was

[fresh timber]

ill fix it my self

[crimson scroll]

Idk man

Mom said im still gettin my 60$ tho

[fresh timber]

u can buy am4 with that money if u deal hunt

[crimson scroll]

Lol il

But dead platform

[fresh timber]

and

its cheap

[crimson scroll]

Look at this board tho

[fresh timber]

maybe like a 2600 and b350 or what ever their called

[crimson scroll]

If i have the money im going to get ot

[crimson scroll]

Thats the thing with amd i have absolutely no idea abt the cpus and mobos and stuff

[crimson scroll]

5 nvme slots 5!!!!

Hella usb ports

Built in wifi

Dragon is RGB

(Not very bright tho which sucks)

Its main attraction is the rgb compatibility

Its got 3 pin headers

I thought mine had it but omly a 4 pin

[proud jackal]

i havent been able to even play games because tired

[tranquil pebble]

Fun fact... your chances of getting stung by factorio are low, but never zero: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neobuthus_factorio

INTEL GOOD

INTLE GOOOD!!!!

[dense locust]

If Intel is so bad why is information called Intel
Checkmate haters

[lone mango]

Does intel memory train every time you turn on the computer or wake it from sleep

[hoary zodiac]

buddy

with how much money you're spending on the motherboard

you could literally get an i5

or even a Ryzen 5

[proud jackal]

[crimson scroll]

Theo

Theo

Theo

Wgat do tou have to say?

Intel or amd

[crimson scroll]

Boards 350$ after tax brand new

Lol

[hoary zodiac]

what

that's not even funny

that's the price of a i5/Ryzen 5 and a motherboard

what is the point of getting a $350 board

if you are going to pair it with a locked chip

[crimson scroll]

Idk man

[hoary zodiac]

then why

[crimson scroll]

Wydm locked

[hoary zodiac]

you can't overclock it

[fresh timber]

https://www.amazon.com/Aisahorse-1850rpm-Precision-Bearings-Performance/dp/B0DP2LHJG1?th=1

dawn fan

[hoary zodiac]

you would be paying $350 for something that does not improve performance whatsoever

and if you want the plastic

cheaper boards have that too

I truly don't get it

[fresh timber]

not for mines

[crimson scroll]

Im paying around 175$

Im buying it used

[crimson scroll]

Me either

Or neither i should sau

[hoary zodiac]

that still costs more than a new B series board

[misty sparrow]

I wonder if I could have built a 3060ti PC for $600

[fresh timber]

no problem loading my super duper fast ram

[hoary zodiac]

or hell

[crimson scroll]

None of my intel boards do

[fresh timber]

$60

[hoary zodiac]

a brand new Z790

[crimson scroll]

Find me the same exact board but for am5

[hoary zodiac]

why do you want the exact board

[crimson scroll]

Msi mpg edge z790 wifi

[hoary zodiac]

it's literally just plastic

[crimson scroll]

BECAUSE I LIKE IT

SOOOO

i like it ma

Personal preference

[hoary zodiac]

so you're paying more

for the motherboard

[misty sparrow]

okay so here’s the thing

[hoary zodiac]

but you're getting an i3

[crimson scroll]

For tn*

Right now

I might get a i5

[fresh timber]

hes planning on upgrading

[misty sparrow]

why don’t you go on pcpartpicker and find a good am5 board with your own preferences

[crimson scroll]

Yes

[crimson scroll]

I dont know amd thats the issue

I’ve already tried

Idk anything abt amd

[fresh timber]

amd sucks frfr

amd is faster

[hoary zodiac]

I mean that Z790 isn't even that good

[fresh timber]

amd doesnt catch fire

[hoary zodiac]

it's extremely overpriced

[crimson scroll]

I might be able to haggle it to 145$

[royal crow]

Better prices, less cores

[crimson scroll]

What if i wajt more cores

[fresh timber]

better cores

[crimson scroll]

I sometimes use blender

[fresh timber]

ryzen 9

[royal crow]

Intel

[fresh timber]

9950x

7950x

[hoary zodiac]

cores do not automatically translate to performance

[crimson scroll]

Whats a good budget am5 cpu

[fresh timber]

7500f

[crimson scroll]

Budget is 130$ max

[hoary zodiac]

what

[crimson scroll]

But would like it to be as cheap as possible

[hoary zodiac]

wtf

[fresh timber]

theirs a problem

[hoary zodiac]

here's an idea

spend less on the motherboard

[fresh timber]

besides for 7500f which prob isnt good anymore their is no budget am5 cpu

[hoary zodiac]

then you have the money for the cpu

[crimson scroll]

I dont really care abt cpu

[hoary zodiac]

the motherboard will literally be covered by the cpu cooler and gpu

[crimson scroll]

Its modern enough to do basically anything i want in terms of gaming

[crimson scroll]

I use a aio

[hoary zodiac]

point still stands

half of the plastic is under the aio anyways

[crimson scroll]

Please stop

I get tour point

Ima search for a am5 board now

I will update

[fresh timber]

plastic is sexy

look at kim k

[crimson scroll]

@hoary zodiac is msi meg x870e godlike good?

[hoary zodiac]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/qcbRsY/asrock-b650m-pro-rs-wifi-micro-atx-am5-motherboard-b650m-pro-rs-wifi

here's the thing

[crimson scroll]

Lolz i just saw that

[hoary zodiac]

you can overclock on B chipsets

so there's pretty much no point

for a 99% of use cases

to get a X870

[worthy meteor]

You're not using a power hungry enough CPU to warrant any vrm upgrades

[crimson scroll]

The board is almost 1500$ i was hoping youd say something lol

I found a nice board tho

209$

New^

[hoary zodiac]

why

[crimson scroll]

But ima find it used

I want a white board

And atx

I dont like matx

[hoary zodiac]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/MgHqqs/asrock-b650-steel-legend-wifi-atx-am5-motherboard-b650-steel-legend-wifi

this is the cheapest thing

[crimson scroll]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/MgHqqs/asrock-b650-steel-legend-wifi-atx-am5-motherboard-b650-steel-legend-wifi

[hoary zodiac]

but you're also crippling your cpu for this

[crimson scroll]

Is that the same one?

Lmfao yea it is

I like that one

[hoary zodiac]

what games do you play anyways

with how much you're crippling the cpu you'll spend more money in the long term replacing/upgrading it

[crimson scroll]

Soms of the forest
The forest
Fallout 4
Fallout NV
American truck simulator
Gta 5
(Looking to play rdr2 but gonna have to get it for my xbox)

And a few other non steam games

[hoary zodiac]

those will still benefit from having a better cpu

literally everything will really

[crimson scroll]

Dont forget

I still have a gtx 770

[hoary zodiac]

point still stands

[crimson scroll]

Im not upgrsding it untill after my bosrd ram and cpu

Idk where ima get 100$ for ddr5 tho

[hoary zodiac]

in cpu bound scenarios you will still be getting more performance

[crimson scroll]

I know

Ima try to get the money for i3-14100F

Would the F peform better since it doesnt have igpu(dumb question ik

[hoary zodiac]

no

ok so

would you rather have a pc that will last you years

or a pc that will last you a couple years

because you're severely limiting your upgrade paths

[lone mango]

The pc that lasts you years will cost more but will give more value because you will keep that configuration for longer without having to upgrade anything

[hoary zodiac]

it doesn't even cost more

he's spending $200+ on the motherbaord

[crimson scroll]

175*

[hoary zodiac]

so the idea is to ya know

not do that

[crimson scroll]

This

[hoary zodiac]

point still stands

even with an i5 and a cheaper z790

[crimson scroll]

I like the way that one looks

It looks expensive

It looks nice

[crimson scroll]

Im
Tired of getting clowned for my cheap pc

[hoary zodiac]

ok so

[unreal trail]

I decided today that I hate tech

[hoary zodiac]

here's the thing

[proud jackal]

[hoary zodiac]

people don't care how your pc looks

if they look at it

and then see i3

they're gonna make fun of you

I mean for god's sake it's a quad core

[crimson scroll]

Not tlly

[hoary zodiac]

that's an obvious jab

[crimson scroll]

I didnt even say the cpu and still got clowned lol

On reddit

[hoary zodiac]

why are you asking reddit

[proud jackal]

who cares what others thing

[crimson scroll]

I was just showung my new case on hyte

[crimson scroll]

I do

[hoary zodiac]

ok so

[crimson scroll]

Im tired of being clowned

[hoary zodiac]

you could literally get a pc that runs games better

will last you a lot longer

[crimson scroll]

WILL THE BOARD I WANT LAST?

[hoary zodiac]

and is better

it will last just as long as the $140 board

[crimson scroll]

i want it to atleast last until ive been employed long enough to have money so i dont care

Great

Ima also buy a 3070 or maybe a 3080 btw

[hoary zodiac]

and does not offer any benefit over the $140 board

at least consider getting an i5/R5

don't know where you'll getting the money from

but you're seriously going to cripple your pc by getting an i3

[crimson scroll]

My mom

Gonna save up

She sometimes gives me money every tome she gets paid

Told her abt my bosrd frying she gonna give me 60$

[hoary zodiac]

there's no point in getting a new gpu if you're just going to pair it with an i3

[crimson scroll]

YOUR MOT GETTING THE POINT

cpu doesnt matter to me

[lone mango]

[crimson scroll]

Its good enough to play literally every game

Also sidenote

Cyberpunk goodv

?

Dont wanna pay 60$ for it and not like it lol

[hoary zodiac]

I mean

[crimson scroll]

Not related to the pc

[hoary zodiac]

🥱

[crimson scroll]

Just in general

Is it a good game

[hoary zodiac]

Haven't played it

[crimson scroll]

Ah

[hoary zodiac]

you know what

[crimson scroll]

Yes?

[hoary zodiac]

I'm not even going to try anymore

[crimson scroll]

😭

Im that annoying?

[lone mango]

Yeah

[fresh timber]

id rather a pc that last me a year

[hoary zodiac]

linux update?

[fresh timber]

i upgrade once a year 👅

[lone mango]

Weird wine error

[hoary zodiac]

you know what I'm unblocking vextro for the memes

[lone mango]

[crimson scroll]

I just want my pc to last and not break on me

[fresh timber]

thank god

im free

[hoary zodiac]

I need some fresh air

[crimson scroll]

And play games

[hoary zodiac]

how's it going

haven't seen you in a while

[fresh timber]

go for a am5 cpu

[fresh timber]

you should have seen my warnings about syntax, but hes chilled out now

[crimson scroll]

You dont understand i dont intend on upgrading for a long time

[crimson scroll]

What does this even mean

[fresh timber]

u knwo what you did

[crimson scroll]

That server had less restrictions

[hoary zodiac]

sigh

guys

[crimson scroll]

I KNOW BUT ITS DIFFERENT

Yk u right vex

Im sorry

[hoary zodiac]

please don't bring drama from other servers here

[crimson scroll]

I shouldn’t havr did that

[hoary zodiac]

We don't care what happened

just don't bring it here

[crimson scroll]

Sorry

[fresh timber]

the drama started in this server

[lone mango]

Also have this thing going on where when I put the computer to sleep the screen will go to 30 hz, then flicker and flash and artifact and do it for minutes at a time

[crimson scroll]

If i had ddr5 mem id put the 99$ in the cou

Cpu

[lone mango]

Wifi turns off as if it went to sleep but it doesnt fully go to sleep

[fresh timber]

hear me out synatax

save up

[crimson scroll]

“Get a job”

Ah

[hoary zodiac]

vex

[fresh timber]

no

[crimson scroll]

Thats what im doing lol

[fresh timber]

save up and buy a 7500f+b650

[hoary zodiac]

there's a point where you're going to realize

that he's not going to listen

[crimson scroll]

I will hear you out

But i need time to research

I want a cool looking board

[fresh timber]

true, he will ask the same questions in two diffrent servers we share at once, get the same info from both and still ask

[crimson scroll]

I cant even argue i do do that

[crimson scroll]

So far either this or the msi lga1700 one

[hoary zodiac]

please don't ping me

[fresh timber]

bro

[crimson scroll]

Sorry

[hoary zodiac]

I don't want to be a part of this anymore

[fresh timber]

dont go lga1700 in 2025 unless ultra budget like 12400f 12100, or if you want to use it as a media box which you can take advantage of quick sync

[crimson scroll]

Idk what media box is

[fresh timber]

something you might plug into your tv to watch content, or hosting jellyfin and what not

intel has amazing IGPus for that

[crimson scroll]

I have my old pc for that

[hoary zodiac]

mfw qsv outperforms a rtx 2060

[crimson scroll]

I did that the other day

[remote geode]

AAA

[fresh timber]

cheat n100 mini pc solos

[crimson scroll]

How much would you guys pay for a 3TB hdd

[hoary zodiac]

tbh I'm kinda mixed about the n100 now

[crimson scroll]

Drive health is still good

[hoary zodiac]

the igpu is the main selling point

[fresh timber]

nas+n100 is an amazing combo

[hoary zodiac]

but compared to a used skylake-coffee lake sff/mini pc

kinda meh

[fresh timber]

depends on what u want

[hoary zodiac]

true

the igpu is very appealing

[pliant berry]

maybe like 40usd

[fresh timber]

too much

[hoary zodiac]

but used market is too good really

[crimson scroll]

Bruh

Thank god i got it for free

[remote geode]

ask me how my lga 1200 system is going

:slort:

[fresh timber]

i mean. i had a lga1200 system and it was fine

[hoary zodiac]

you can get a coffee lake i5 sff for the same price as an n100 pc

6c/6t

[crimson scroll]

I forgot that existed i was gonna go that route actually

[hoary zodiac]

weaker igpu but more cores

with pretty decent single threaded perf too

[fresh timber]

n100 is alderlake so u would get all those features

[hoary zodiac]

yeah the igpu is the biggest selling point

it really just depends on use case really

[fresh timber]

depending on what your encoding/decoding a n100 could be better it all depends and then power usage

[hoary zodiac]

if you want the igpu

[lone mango]

Arrow lake igpu encodes 10 bit av1

Crazy

[hoary zodiac]

then the n100 is a super good deal

[fresh timber]

i dont think ur going to beat a n100 in power usage

iv used n100, im confident in its ability to even be used on a smart tv for 4k

plug that mf in ur tv, tuck it behind it easy

[hoary zodiac]

sounds overkill for a smart tv

[remote geode]

it's aight tbh

just sucks a lot of power

[hoary zodiac]

oh you mean as a media machine

[fresh timber]

it comes around the same price as the google tv stuff

[hoary zodiac]

nvm I read that as the cpu inside of a smart tv

[remote geode]

i was srsly considering switching to am4 due to how cheap x3d has gotten relative to my system selling value

[fresh timber]

n100 pcs are like what, $150

$138

damn thats a 150 too

[hoary zodiac]

that kinda depends on use case too

mini pcs are cheap

but if you want to build a nas around it as well

[crimson scroll]

Will the pc be good for vr? (Excluding my 770)

[hoary zodiac]

well

[fresh timber]

n100 mini pc + nas

store media on nas, n100 mini pc just plays from it

or u slap a gpu in ur nas

[hoary zodiac]

my thoughts exactly

maybe say

[fresh timber]

[hoary zodiac]

a crappy skylake or whatever

[fresh timber]

damn same price as the a310

[hoary zodiac]

because they're cheap

then an a380

[fresh timber]

a310 probably wins

[hoary zodiac]

or a310 because lp

and just in pure value

[fresh timber]

do u care about power usage

[hoary zodiac]

well this is a hypothetical so

power usage doesn't really matter

[fresh timber]

skylake+ a310

[hoary zodiac]

I'd say power usage doesn't matter as much

[opaque sedge]

ngl i want an aio weathers been getting hot lately and so is my room my cpu gets to 90Cs briefly at times and my cooler just goes full blast and the sound is… noticeable

[fresh timber]

im weird, id use it to gamestream from my main rig

[hoary zodiac]

because let's say this is an all purpose server

[fresh timber]

i used to say that.. until i got more computers

[hoary zodiac]

I'd want to probably use the cpu fully

so 65w on one machine

[fresh timber]

i have 3 rigs in my room.. lets just say i have to shut them down all the time over heat

[fresh timber]

65w is negatbile at best too

what will this all in one machine do

[hoary zodiac]

everything

[fresh timber]

not enough

[hoary zodiac]

from minecraft servers to proxmox

etc

[fresh timber]

i can think of alot of everythings

[hoary zodiac]

cpu demanding tasks really

[fresh timber]

and a cheap 65w system cant do "everything"

cpu

[pliant berry]

a310 doesn't have the lowest idle power but it certainly gets the job done with only ~50W max

[hoary zodiac]

you'd be surprised

you could do quite a bit with a 6c/6t coffee lake

[fresh timber]

is it faster than the cpu in my nas, the 2300x

[hoary zodiac]

yes

[fresh timber]

then it can do everything

[hoary zodiac]

well

[fresh timber]

i did "everything" on my 2300x

[hoary zodiac]

it depends on the tasks

but for single threaded tasks

[fresh timber]

my 2300x ran from a mc server to a windows vm before i got a dedicated machine for that stuff

[hoary zodiac]

say minecraft server

[fresh timber]

for a few friends it really dosent matter what hardware u use

[hoary zodiac]

the single threaded perf is really handy

[fresh timber]

people reallly over estimate what they need

[nocturne flicker]

Microcenter Server

[hoary zodiac]

that's why core count isn't always the meta

for servers

[fresh timber]

core count does not matter, performance does

[hoary zodiac]

having a bunch of better cores is good too

[fresh timber]

when i shop for upgrade for my server i ignore the core count

[lone mango]

Then the 256 core epyc comes in

[fresh timber]

all i care about is single core and multi core performance

[hoary zodiac]

and for a homelab setup

[fresh timber]

if 2 cores can give me performance i like, im buying a 2 core cpu

[hoary zodiac]

having a crap load of cores is kinda irrelevant when you can just

make a cluster

with a bunch of mini pcs

[pliant berry]

my nas cpu has been pretty good.. as long as it doesn't crash

[fresh timber]

mini pc meta

[fresh timber]

what u using

[hoary zodiac]

because realistically you're not using all the cores in the same pc at once

[pliant berry]

I think its a e5-2667v2

[fresh timber]

oo

[pliant berry]

well 2 of them

[fresh timber]

i wanna swap all my compute to something like this

[hoary zodiac]

how's the power draw

that'd be a good idea

a bunch of zen 3 cores

[fresh timber]

those 5600u and 5700u systems are perfect for what i need

[hoary zodiac]

you get 12 threads

and pretty good single thread perf too

[fresh timber]

i just run minecraft server and some dumb stuff

[hoary zodiac]

you can do a lot on one of these

[pliant berry]

the system is idling at around 140w with 6 drive (4hdd), a310 gpu, few pcie cards, 8 sticks ram iirc

[fresh timber]

all i need is 16gb wam too

[hoary zodiac]

well you're in luck

[fresh timber]

i just.. need money

[hoary zodiac]

sodimm ddr4 is dirt cheap

[fresh timber]

all my money is going to 9070xt rn 😭

[nocturne flicker]

For now

[fresh timber]

im hungry

[hoary zodiac]

oh yeah

US tariffs

forgot about that

[proud jackal]

i hate this warm weather

my poor gpu uwu

[hoary zodiac]

I hate this cold weather

[fresh timber]

i had to shut my server down

it was too hot

[nocturne flicker]

I yearn for snow

[fresh timber]

im moving everything to my closet to isolate the heat

[fresh timber]

i yern for the snow until its too cold

[hoary zodiac]

my mini pc barely produces any heat

[fresh timber]

i wish it stayed 70 degrees year round

[hoary zodiac]

once again proving the mini pc homelab meta

[hoary zodiac]

or noise tbh

[nocturne flicker]

Also I yearn to not have food poisoning symptoms

[fresh timber]

give me like 3 of these and ill cluster them in proxmox.. 2.5gb lan so ill just connect them toghter

[hoary zodiac]

guess the cpu's not ramping up enough to really heat up

[fresh timber]

i wonder if u could get good ssds by buying cheap laptops and harvesting the ssds that are worth more

[hoary zodiac]

probably not

the really cheap laptops have emmc

[nocturne flicker]

Cheap laptops tend not to have 'good' ssds

[hoary zodiac]

and the slightly less cheap laptops

as weary said

don't have the good ssds

[fresh timber]

sad

is it good enough to run truenassy

[hoary zodiac]

the laptops?

[fresh timber]

the ssds on those cheap laptops

[hoary zodiac]

depends on the specific ssd

[fresh timber]

i use a kingston a400 to boot truenas rn

i ran out of nvmes

[hoary zodiac]

I mean

I'm running my nas on a 32 bit cpu

on my hard drive

[nocturne flicker]

32bit go brrrrrrr

[hoary zodiac]

the 32bit cpu gets choked to death everytime nfs runs

[fresh timber]

truenas is small enough to just dumb the entire os into ram while loading

[hoary zodiac]

which is literally every time I need to pull/push a file onto it

[fresh timber]

the motherboard in my nas has a dead channel so i only have 8gb in it ;/

[hoary zodiac]

I mean

for a nas that's enough

even for ZFS

[fresh timber]

yeah it just sucks

i like overkil

[hoary zodiac]

I mean

depends on what you run on it

if you run a lot of stuff that's ram intensive

[fresh timber]

nothing cause theirs no ram

if i get more ram in it im swapping my mc server from my 5500 system to the nas

[hoary zodiac]

you can run minecraft on it

8gb can run a minecraft server

with a couple players

[fresh timber]

i run modded minecraft

400 mods

[hoary zodiac]

the sky's the limit with ram

for that use case

or in this case

[fresh timber]

yeah

[nocturne flicker]

What are you using All the Mods

[hoary zodiac]

your wallet

[fresh timber]

fr

[fresh timber]

im running craftoria right now

i host for my friends

[nocturne flicker]

Mmm.

[fresh timber]

nobody wants to pay for a damn host so i host it my self

[hoary zodiac]

meanwhile I'm hosting a minecraft server on my haswell

hosts are a ripoff if you know how to selfhost

[fresh timber]

i really wish somebody would pay for a host cause i cant stand the heat right now

its like im living in australia

[hoary zodiac]

well

[fresh timber]

its 70 outside and my rooms like 85

[hoary zodiac]

if you're living in australia you'd be cold rn

[fresh timber]

im comming over

[hoary zodiac]

lmao

[fresh timber]

scoot over

[hoary zodiac]

you could probably just

underclock the cpu

[fresh timber]

im putting it in my closet

[hoary zodiac]

and the gpu

[fresh timber]

my closet doesnt leak too much heat into my room trapping most of it

wanna know whats ironic

[hoary zodiac]

I mean

you also have to consider thermals

[fresh timber]

my gaming pc causes most my issues

[fresh timber]

done it before, doesnt throttle

[hoary zodiac]

oh

that works then

[fresh timber]

yeah

[hoary zodiac]

I mean it's a 2300x so

[fresh timber]

it gets hotter of course, but not throttling

[hoary zodiac]

not like it's particularly hot

[fresh timber]

oh no i used the 5500 in the closet

[hoary zodiac]

still

not that hot of a cpu

[fresh timber]

the 2300x is so cold i can run it on my aio no fans

5500 can run no fans for a few hours until it gets heat soaked

[hoary zodiac]

put a NH-D15 on it

run it passive

would be funny

[fresh timber]

kek no

2300x gets stock cooler

its not really loud unless im backing up my immich and the machine learning kicks in

[hoary zodiac]

I've ran an underclocked 1500x without fans

[fresh timber]

the ap in my room doesnt work anymore

it wont power on :/

im suffering with poopy xfinity wifi now

[hoary zodiac]

this is when you join the beryl ax cult

[fresh timber]

kek

im saving to buy some overkill wifi 6 mesh system to put in my room and living room

[hoary zodiac]

I still get signals from it down the corridor from my apartment

[fresh timber]

my mom was dumb and put the router in the excact opside corner of the house away from all the main devices i wouldnt have this issue

and then she refuses to let me put it in the center of the home ;/

i just fixde my sentnace

[nocturne flicker]

Excact

[fresh timber]

ima go fix this ram config, im tired of slow ram

[hoary zodiac]

what is that ram config

are you running 3x8 2133MHz

[fresh timber]

16x16+8+8

[hoary zodiac]

ok

[fresh timber]

they dont even share the same xmp lol

[hoary zodiac]

so basically

with the 16gb sticks

only half of the memory will be running at dual channel

[fresh timber]

yup

only 32gb is running dual channel

16 is single

[hoary zodiac]

this is some wack

on a ryzen too

[fresh timber]

plus its running super slow pseed cause i cant get speed to run

[fresh timber]

ryzen?

[hoary zodiac]

at that point

that's even worse

[fresh timber]

ima go put it back to normal land

[hoary zodiac]

intel's got a lot to benefit from faster ram

[fresh timber]

what happens when u unplug ram while the pc is running 🤔

time to find out

[hoary zodiac]

uh

don't

at the very least

you might corrupt your os

[fresh timber]

iv done it before

[fresh timber]

oh

yeah

i broke the last os

[hoary zodiac]

at the very worst

entire pc goes kaput

[fresh timber]

fgun fact

even touching the ram stick can crash the system

[nocturne flicker]

Trust me bro Linus did it

[fresh timber]

OK BYE BYE

[hoary zodiac]

yes

ram is notoriously sensitive

that's why there's a lot of cases where first time builders don't get their pc working

and all they had to do is reseat the memory

[hoary zodiac]

or even experienced builders

https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/1jaz2yq/5090fe_undervolt_guide_better_than_stock_at_450w/

[hoary zodiac]

is that

a NH-D15

or a PA120

oh

[lone mango]

Noctua

[hoary zodiac]

I thought he had the D15 strapped onto the gpu

[lone mango]

Those are moctua fans

[hoary zodiac]

that would've been extremely funny

[lone mango]

[fresh timber]

we back

[hoary zodiac]

Wait

Is this DDR4

Or DDR5

[fresh timber]

yuh

ddr4

[hoary zodiac]

Oh nice

Are you running the Minecraft server on this

[fresh timber]

no

mc server runs on my 5500 system

[hoary zodiac]

Was about to say

[fresh timber]

hell no

[hoary zodiac]

The minecraft server is going to see a very noticeable performance boost going from 2133 to 4000

[fresh timber]

just turning my gaming rig on is enough to make my room warm up a few degrees

my mc server runs on 3200mt/s 32gb ram

[hoary zodiac]

That's pretty good

As long as the cpu gets fed

[fresh timber]

funny, only my gaming rig has 4 ram slots

nas and 2nd rig have 2

[hoary zodiac]

Tbh

[fresh timber]

i have four corsair ram sticks and nothing to do with them ;/

[hoary zodiac]

You can probably get a bunch of used sffs

And run clusters with them

[fresh timber]

yeah

but that cost money

[hoary zodiac]

Will take up a lot of space tho

[fresh timber]

it was cheaper to use my am4 boards i alr had and slap cpus in them

i conviently had enough for 3 pcs

[hoary zodiac]

That's true

The main draw of the sffs is that they're dirt cheap for an entire system

[fresh timber]

i might sell my 2nd rig, it just depends on what laptop i buy

[hoary zodiac]

I'm seeing skylake i5 systems for 65 AUD

Barebones but ram isn't expensive

[fresh timber]

im going gaming laptop or laptop with 780m and upgradable ram

[hoary zodiac]

780m?

Based?

Run it on usb pd

[fresh timber]

yeah excatly

i just need usb 4.0 cause i wanna run egpu

i go to my dads house and wanna play video games

games 780m wont like

[visual adder]

Anybody here that can help me with my PC? Keeps crashing going into “sleep/stand by mode” when gaming. Did a stress test and it’s not looking good. Just don’t know what any of it means.

[fresh timber]

llll the laptop I liked doesnt haev usb 4, poop

[topaz crown]

Hello @visual adder! It appears that you're asking for help. Please ask again in the appropriate category so you can get faster help from people specializing in that field. Your question may not be answered here.

[hoary zodiac]

How old is your windows installation

[lone mango]

I host my server on my desktop that I play on at the same time

[fresh timber]

i googled thunderbolt 4 laptop

[hoary zodiac]

I did that until I realised I wanted to turn my pc off

[lone mango]

[fresh timber]

real

[hoary zodiac]

I got a Haswell mini pc running it now

[fresh timber]

wanna see how much power im using right now with my nas and gaming pc just doing normal things

[hoary zodiac]

Is that idle

[fresh timber]

this is idle

[visual adder]

I’ve had the PC for about 3 years on windows 10. I’ve always updated it. Sorry if that’s not the right answer I’m not smart on computers lol.

[hoary zodiac]

Rip

[fresh timber]

im about to turn my gaming rig off

watch waht happens

[hoary zodiac]

My theory is

Windows updates have a tendency to break stuff once in a while

[fresh timber]

This is my nas running

[hoary zodiac]

Have you made any changes to the hardware?

[crimson scroll]

@fresh timber look at this absolute STEAL

[fresh timber]

The gpu alone is the bulk of that

[hoary zodiac]

9900k

Corsair ddr4

[fresh timber]

I would buy that Persoanly and just upgrade the platform

[fresh timber]

The price is $1200, the gpu in this market is around that

[hoary zodiac]

That is true

Would make a good flip

Throw in a 7600XT in there

Sell it for 1000

[visual adder]

Can I message you?

[fresh timber]

Real

[hoary zodiac]

No

My dms are closed thanks for asking

[acoustic palm]

It’s not

[hoary zodiac]

Well

It depends on the use case

[acoustic palm]

For gaming it’s not

[hoary zodiac]

Ehhhh

[visual adder]

Ok ok. Well with in the last 3 years I got a 3090ti with a 1000w psu and lian li RGB GPU cables

[hoary zodiac]

It really depends on the scenario

Hmm

Try running ddu

[acoustic palm]

Compared to amd for almost all games Intel will be worse

[hoary zodiac]

?ddu

[topaz crown]

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

[hoary zodiac]

That depends on price/perf

[acoustic palm]

Current USA prices on new parts

[hoary zodiac]

And the budget bracket

Intel is considerably cheaper if you select your parts right

[crimson scroll]

The cpu tho 9900K 😂

[visual adder]

I did that. When I did the stress test watching JayTwoCent video my temps, ppt, cpu power, TDC, EDC, all shoot up into the red.

[hoary zodiac]

So you'd be getting a pretty decent performance/$ out of a intel pc if done correctly

[crimson scroll]

Your wrong

[hoary zodiac]

Did you do it after the instability started?

[crimson scroll]

Its perfectly fine for gaming

[visual adder]

Yea to see if it will pin point me out the problem. It just started doing this last week. I can watch videos and stuff on my pc. But when I play COD monitors shut off into “sleep mode” and I have to turn my pc off and back on. But it will crash again after trying to play

[hoary zodiac]

Might want to reinstall windows

[crimson scroll]

OKAY

IM LOOKING AT AMD NOW

[fresh timber]

I like my Intel

[hoary zodiac]

Peer pressured

💀

[crimson scroll]

Its a less premium version of my board

NO RGB THO :(

250$ new

[visual adder]

I did a pc reset 2 days ago and did the same thing

[crimson scroll]

Whats wtomg

[hoary zodiac]

A pc reset isn't really the same as a fresh install

[acoustic palm]

?

[lone mango]

Oy'rue

[visual adder]

2 weeks ago my PC monitors started black screening into a “sleep mode/ hdmi or dpi can’t be deleted” mode. Only when I’m gaming it will crash can’t even play a full game.

[hoary zodiac]

Oy'rue

[crimson scroll]

Intel is perfectly fine for gaming, yes amd is better but intel is totally fine

[visual adder]

Ok so try a fresh install?

[acoustic palm]

Debatable

[crimson scroll]

I had a similar issue

[acoustic palm]

Intel has… issues

[hoary zodiac]

Yes

[acoustic palm]

Most CPUs are fine tho

[fresh timber]

I unironically like my 13600kf ever sense I got faster ram

[crimson scroll]

My gpu would randomly disconnect fans would go up to 100% and it would BURN it was very hot

[hoary zodiac]

You really can't just make a general statement that intel/amd is better

[crimson scroll]

Turns out my slot is weak couldnt hold my gpu(my latch broke)

[hoary zodiac]

It doesn't apply uniformally to every scenario

[visual adder]

That’s what mine looks like it’s doing when I did a stress test.

[hoary zodiac]

It depends on the game and specific use case

[acoustic palm]

But the wattage, heating and price issues (USA new) currently make AMD much better for 99% of gaming scenarios

[crimson scroll]

Thats normal

[crimson scroll]

Its good tgat it does that

[visual adder]

Slots off your mother board?

[crimson scroll]

Yea

[fresh timber]

What’s this error

[crimson scroll]

Its since been fixed

I have to manually hook the latch

[hoary zodiac]

What gpu is it?

[visual adder]

It was all red tho when I did the stress test, temp shot to 90, PPT went to red, CPU power went to red, TDC & EDC went to red. Than when I stopped the test everything went back to green.

[hoary zodiac]

Do you have a gpu support bracket?

[crimson scroll]

What stress test r u dojng

I use furmark

Apparently its a basic stress test

[hoary zodiac]

Complete specs?

[lone mango]

That just means its hitting its limit for those parameters

Except for temp

Temp is hot

[hoary zodiac]

Cpus throttling for stress tests is not unusual

[crimson scroll]

Whats a good temp?

[fresh timber]

Rx6700, we ddu right now

[hoary zodiac]

They're not meant to be realistic use cases

[crimson scroll]

Both my gpus under max load dont break 80c even

[hoary zodiac]

That's because you don't have a gpu that runs hot enough

[dusk knot]

My 3080ti went up to 87c

[visual adder]

Nvidia 3090, Ryzen 7 5000 series, x570 AORUS elite motherboard board, 1000w Corsair psu

I think that’s everything I can remember. Not to good with the names still learning sorry

[hoary zodiac]

Right

[crimson scroll]

Gtx 770 and a radeon7850

[crimson scroll]

First pc

?

[hoary zodiac]

Is the gpu visibly sagging?

[crimson scroll]

Send us pictures

That would be ALOT more helpful

[visual adder]

I’m was watching JayTwoCent video on it he used cinebench and Ryzen master to see temps

[crimson scroll]

Ah

[visual adder]

Yes

[crimson scroll]

I never used them

[crimson scroll]

Makes sense

[hoary zodiac]

Eh?

Don't use ryzen master

[crimson scroll]

Ive never heard of ryzen master before

[hoary zodiac]

It's janky as hell

[visual adder]

Maybe a tad bit

[hoary zodiac]

Ok

You probably want to get a gpu support bracket

The 4090 is a very heavy gpu

[crimson scroll]

Send us multiple pics of your entire pc from top to bottom front to bacl

[visual adder]

I have a 3090

[hoary zodiac]

Same scenario

Still a heavy card

[visual adder]

Ok ok

[hoary zodiac]

The case is not strong enough to support these gpus

[fresh timber]

lol I hate it

[visual adder]

You don’t want to see that lol but will do

[crimson scroll]

I wont judge my pc is ass

[fresh timber]

If I got a good deal on a 3090 I’d buy it

[visual adder]

I’m trying to cable mange but lord it’s tough. Going to send pictures in a bit just turned it off

[fresh timber]

But 9070xt at $650 ugh so just

[hoary zodiac]

Eh we don't care

[crimson scroll]

I never cared for evga cards but that 3090ti ftw 3 ultra is beautiful 😮‍💨

[fresh timber]

Imagine if the 9070xt went for msrp, 5070 and 5070ti would be dead

[hoary zodiac]

Doesn't affect performance

[crimson scroll]

I promise we do not care abt cable managment

[hoary zodiac]

This isn't reddit

[fresh timber]

No weekend restock

[hoary zodiac]

Redditors complain about everything

[fresh timber]

Fr

They complained about my pc

[crimson scroll]

First time?

[fresh timber]

Blah blah my resr fan is deepcool

[hoary zodiac]

It's one step lower than twitter

[crimson scroll]

Twitter seriously needs to be banned

Like theres so much bad stuff

[hoary zodiac]

Please don't ban twitter

[crimson scroll]

Lmfao why

[fresh timber]

They hatted my setup

[hoary zodiac]

The twitter users will come here instead

We don't want their kind here

[crimson scroll]

Oh god

[fresh timber]

This is my dad setup until we buy a tv for the wall

[hoary zodiac]

AHAHAHHAHAHAHA

[fresh timber]

Out of context that’s so racist

3090? Bro your PC is like a century too old

[visual adder]

I can’t even close the back panel I just use 1 screw

[hoary zodiac]

How is this bad

[lone mango]

[hoary zodiac]

It may be damaging the motherboard

[fresh timber]

Iv had a system not turn on due to sag
