#

Wait for 7000?

analog pulsar
#

Hehe

frigid night
#

by both šŸ˜›

analog pulsar
#

You could get intel

fossil cedar
#

13th gen/7000 if upgrading if you don't have one atm go 12th gen

empty pollen
#

12th gen is superior while having almost the same price and sometimes cheaper

#

if you have the coin go straight to 13th gen on like a month or am5 if you are into ddr5

#

just like pato said

frigid carbon
#

I recently upgraded to a 5600x but the only problem is that the b450 board I kept from before doesn’t have some of the features that I need

empty pollen
#

sorry pato sama i was too slow

frigid carbon
#

Like usb c and argb

#

Along with gen 4 pcie

empty pollen
#

unless you need the usbc i shouldnt worry too much about pcie4

#

modern cards barely saturate pcie3, let alone pcie4

frigid carbon
#

My current b450 doesn’t have the port for usb c at all

#

I need gen 4 for storage

grim wraith
#

Gigabyte is dookie I’ve had more issues and RMA’s with gigabyte and zotac than any other brand

empty pollen
#

and unless you are a content creator who moves a lot of data on a daily basis then gen 3 nvmes are more than enough

My arous 3080 ti had been nothing but nice

patent spade
#

I've had 0 issues with my gigabyte eagle 6800xt

analog pulsar
#

I worked with gigabyte for a while and I had no issues

frigid carbon
frigid night
analog pulsar
#

Well yea so does 3090

#

They all like 4 slot

grim wraith
# analog pulsar Lol sure

Why would I lie about that? What good does that do me? And it’s not like he/she has to take my recommendation. All I said was I’d avoid gigabyte if you can. Otherwise it’s good for budget because it’s cheap

analog pulsar
grim wraith
#

Well that’s not what I’m here to do. I like to help where I can

#

You’re just making assumptions

analog pulsar
#

Sure

#

Even though with everyone who has a gigabyte card hasn't had issues

grim wraith
#

You can’t say everyone when there has been 2 people that said it. You and another guy who said his High end motherboard works great

analog pulsar
#

We talking about mobo or gpus??

grim wraith
#

I’ve also personally had gigabyte and had issues with motherboard. The 3060ti didn’t have issues and it was gigabyte. But generally there are more issues with gigabyte and Zotac than any other brand from what the shop that I work at has seen. I have nothing to gain from lying to someone about brand recommendations.

#

I was talking about the dudes graphics card that was asking about what he should get

flint sapphire
#

Gigabyte does have 2 recent recalls under its belt. I don't have too much experience with their products though, who knows maybe its just luck of the draw?

fossil cedar
analog pulsar
#

Only gpu I heard had issues with is msi

grim wraith
#

Heard.

frigid carbon
analog pulsar
fossil cedar
#

What nvme you got atm?

grim wraith
#

The ventus cards are lower end of MSI so it’s not surprising

flint sapphire
#

ventus almost always have heat problems and noise problems, wish they didnt cuz they are always cheap PepeHands

grim wraith
#

And gigabytes customer service is awful when you do have issues and you’re trying to get them remedied

frigid carbon
#

Xpg 3500/3000 512 gb. Not enough storage as I also got 2 games on there so I need another drive anyways

fossil cedar
#

If you want to make sure you have a fast drive, samsung 970 evo plus and sk hynix p31 are both great gen 3 options should be plenty

frigid carbon
#

Ok. What would be a good price for 1-2tb

mossy venture
#

P31 is $198

#

Mp33 is $130 something, that would be my go to personally. Not as fast as p31 and similar drives though

mighty crow
#

Bought some of the parts already but does this pc come with wifi

frigid carbon
#

Ok

mossy venture
#

No, you'll want msi b660a wifi

mighty crow
#

How much is it

mossy venture
#

$10 more than the bazooka

#

If you really want it cheap, ds3h ax, but thats got worse vrms and a pretty crappy io

mighty crow
#

does the pc come with windows 10?

mossy venture
#

No, but its free to use

#

Or you can get a cheap key off cdkeys if you really want the unlocked version

mighty crow
#

I can’t find the msi wifi on pcpartpicker

#

Can you edit it and send me the link?

mighty crow
#

Ty

analog pulsar
#

That's upsetting my promo is taken by tax

mighty crow
#

It’s not compatible

analog pulsar
#

Screen down

#

To see why

#

Click see details then send that

mighty crow
analog pulsar
#

You will be fine it's just a bios thing

hallow glen
#

It's fine

analog pulsar
#

It all depends what bios the mobo comes with

mighty crow
#

So if I buy all the parts it should be all good

analog pulsar
#

But you can upgrade it if it doesn't come with right one bur I think they mostly do now adaus

hallow glen
mighty crow
#

I’m just a lil worried cause I’ve been saving up for awhile and I don’t wanna end up getting components thst sone match or fit

#

Don’t*

little osprey
#

One second

#

Use this

#

Wait

#

This

#

Just put in whatever you had in mind and it'll let you know of any known issues

#

Size or hardware

mighty crow
#

I already have a list tho

little osprey
#

Wait, did you already make a list on that website?

mossy venture
#

It's a false positive

mighty crow
#

Okay

#

I’m gonna start buying the parts

mossy venture
#

The only way it won't work is if you get a motherboard from almost a year ago, which is not a thing that happens

upbeat oyster
#

Hi i just finished putting my pc together and when it turns on, the lights and fans work, but when I connect it to a monitor nothing happens

mossy venture
upbeat oyster
#

ya

mossy venture
#

And make sure the 8 pin/pins is/are fully connected to the gpu

#

Ram is fully slotted in

upbeat oyster
#

šŸ«¶šŸ½

#

Thank u

mossy venture
#

Was it the 8 pins?

upbeat oyster
#

It’s displaying to the monitor now

mossy venture
#

Nice

upbeat oyster
#

I took out the 8 pin and put it back and it works now

#

šŸ«¶šŸ½

I’m connected via Ethernet to my router and still nothing is showing up

earnest olive
#

as for your question, try the link it says

paper summit
#

A b550 should be fine for a 5800x right i dont think i should need x570

earnest olive
#

do you have more than 1 gen 4 ssd?

paper summit
#

No

earnest olive
#

are you going to use any gen 4 pcie devices besides your graphics card?

paper summit
#

Prob not lol

earnest olive
#

then b550 is fine for you

paper summit
#

Ok thx

#

Have a nice night

@earnest olive why does you case look weird does it not have glass on it

#

Also what fans are thos

I need to buy some fans for my case

nothing to write home about

#

Oh okay

earnest olive
#

@drowsy zodiac your reply got deleted because #build-pics is an image only channel

#

but i saw it in the logs

#

trust me, the back is not pretty

#

literally just not possible to manage that many cables

drowsy zodiac
#

lolll i wouldn’t doubt it

earnest olive
#

just think about how many cables are involved in making all that work

drowsy zodiac
#

bruh tons

#

what do you have it all connected too

#

a hub?

little osprey
#

Aaaaaaaah I'm so tired of pc problems. I bought a cheap window's key someone recommended on here and it didn't work

drowsy zodiac
#

where was the key from

#

(looking for myself)

little osprey
#

Said the key is in use on another device

drowsy zodiac
#

what website did you buy it from

little osprey
drowsy zodiac
#

shi that’s where i was thinking of ordering it from

#

maybe try and get in contact with kinguin

dim forge
#

512gb is enough for starters(?

little osprey
#

Well idk. I entered the code and my pc did NOT like it, then when it took me to a redund page it started asking for installation ID codes. I haven't entered them yet because it sounds sketchy AF

#

*refund

#

That's the next step in a replacement or refund from them. Idk if it's sketchy or not

drowsy zodiac
#

imo kinguin is kinda sketch all around so i feel you but i’m also just a stressed out person tbh so might just be me

earnest olive
drowsy zodiac
earnest olive
#

it's a pcb with 12 argb headers and a sata power

#

you need active power to split that many ways

#

otherwise you're looking at 1-to-3 or 1-to-4 at best

drowsy zodiac
#

have you ever dealt with kinguin @earnest olive

cyan ravine
earnest olive
#

technically you can only get 11 connections though, since one of them needs to be reversed for motherboard sync

#

never heard of kinguin

drowsy zodiac
#

where do you get your windows keys?

earnest olive
#

i don't 8)

drowsy zodiac
#

you deal with the watermark?

earnest olive
mossy venture
#

I've used my same key from my windows 8 laptop for 7 different devices

drowsy zodiac
#

yeah my laptop came w free windows 10 but i’m not sure how to get the key lmao

#

it’s just windows 10 home

cyan ravine
#

Sign in to your microsoft account on the laptop

mossy venture
#

Just sign in after you install windows from a usb

drowsy zodiac
#

that works?

cyan ravine
#

Then sign in to the new pc

#

Ya by design

drowsy zodiac
#

oh say less

cyan ravine
#

I have like 3 or 4 windows keys floating on my account cos of that

drowsy zodiac
#

i don’t even need to buy a new key then lmao

mossy venture
#

Mhm

little osprey
drowsy zodiac
#

just me or did i not understand that at all

little osprey
#

I did sign in my built pc but it didn't give me anything. I did have a window's ASUS laptop before this

drowsy zodiac
#

i have a asus laptop too lol

little osprey
#

God it's so frustrating. Like am I an idiot. Is it common sense that plugging your headset into your monitor doesn't make the mic work? Is it the same way for audio not working from the motherboard, but the mic works?

willow quest
#

why is driver easy downloading at 0.1 mb/s but everything else downloads fast at my normal speeds

cyan ravine
#

Fast download requires both ends to be quick

drowsy zodiac
cyan ravine
#

If a server is slow it be slow

willow quest
#

damn thats unfortunate

#

its updating my GPU

#

and its a 1.1 GB update

#

its downloading at 0.1 mb/s

little osprey
#

maybe an adaptor was the easiest solution all along. gah

cyan ravine
#

If the device you're plugging into is only rigged for 1 type of audio at the plug, you'll only get one type

little osprey
cyan ravine
#

Yes I know

#

There are different 3.5mm plugs

#

Some do combined mic + stereo, some only do mic or stereo, some exclusively mic or exclusively stereo afaik

little osprey
#

oooh idk how to check that

#

my motherboard has the mic jack and a second jack next to it

strong raft
#

Easy, but probably just have to get sort of a splitter cable and 1 part goes into the mic port. That "second jack" is just Line In or Line out btw. Pepe_cheers

little osprey
#

but when i plug into the mic one i cant hear anything

cyan ravine
#

Yes exactly

little osprey
cyan ravine
#

Example of the headsets side of things

little osprey
#

now i have to message paypal about that bogus window's key though.....

cyan ravine
#

If you get a splitter you should be able to map one to do mic and one to do stereo

#

They can be had cheap on amazon

#

Like $7?

#

ugreen will be a good choice if they have one

little osprey
#

noted thank you. gah, wish i hadnt tried that bogus site for a cheap key though

mossy venture
gentle pollen
#

Is there a advantage to using a splitter?

#

Wondering because I have one from an old headset.

cyan ravine
#

I mean if you need it to get both channels of audio, then both over one? Yeah, kind of an advantage lol

#

If not needed then no don't worry about it

#

It can be useful to set-up multiple speakers for example but if you're just using stereo headphones then you'll be fine

gentle pollen
#

Ahh got it.

#

Yeah, I am simply using my Blackshark v2 headphone.

mossy venture
#

exact mobo matters more than chipset

#

there's b450s id trust more than a good few b550s and x570s

this is the one i use.

got it used for $40, fine for my 3600

@earnest olive is that a fan for your ram?

earnest olive
#

3 fans for my ram

fleet heron
#

Hi

#

Wait ram needs fans!?

frigid night

#

if you have to ask you don't need them

frigid night
fleet heron
#

My cpu can overclock to 5.2

earnest olive
#

what are you running tRFC at?

frigid night
#

Ballistix rev e. Idk what the tRFC is at off the top of my head.

earnest olive
#

fans are optional for sure on rev. e, might be able to run tighter tRFC though

frigid night
#

I don't have a temp sensor for it so I just figured a fan to be on the safe side.

earnest olive
#

IME 280ns up to 48C and 290ns up to 53C

#

ymmv

frigid night
#

Do you remember me offering you to come up to my place to OC my RAM for me?

#

I work 7 days a week 10 hour shifts. I ain't got time to mess with ocing ram lol

earnest olive
#

ram oc is only worth doing if you're really interested in it

#

or have an msi laptop

fleet heron
#

My I ask why you got champion role?

frigid night
#

Plus, when I updated my bios. My previous OC wouldn't post

earnest olive
#

it's based off of activity

#

No but the roles champion not champ : *

No no, "Not a normal American weird sounding swearer"

#

That whole line as a role

fossil cedar
#

flint sapphire
#

I think it’s an appropriate role.

earnest olive
#

yeah good daily setup

leaden mauve
earnest olive
#

gotta hire an ln2 pourer so i can game

leaden mauve
#

forks does it

#

he has a full time ln2 pourer so he can play ark at MAXIMUM framerates

earnest olive
#

damn

#

how much hourly

frigid night
earnest olive
#

swap the ssd to team mp33

#

$1 difference

#

but it's worth it

#

rest should be fine

#

with rising power costs maybe cheaper in the long run to buy a cheap 80+ gold instead

leaden mauve
earnest olive
#

hmm ok the cheapest decent gold psu is like $15 higher

#

probably not worth it

#

assuming you need cuda for that work

cyan ravine
#

Tuf go brrrr

leaden mauve
cyan ravine
#

That was the yoke

earnest olive
#

cause if you don't need cuda then for sure go for radeon over this $380 3060

#

if you're open to used you can get a 3070 at this price

#

$380 is steep

frigid night
earnest olive
#

if you live near a microcenter might be worth seeing if that $200 bundle deal for 11700K + mobo is still active

frigid night
earnest olive
#

it feels pretty bad to pay $380 for a 3060

cyan ravine
#

Worth finding out if they're doing anything cuda yeah

frigid night
cyan ravine
#

Or maybe in the future

earnest olive
#

i'd say 3060ti at $450 is a better deal than that but you said cheap as possible

frigid night
#

Well I did quote him 1500 for a good build

#

So really anything below that would be a win at this point.

earnest olive
#

6650xt is only 320 and beats the 3060 as long as cuda is not needed

frigid night
#

I just have had bad experiences with AMD at this point so I'm not really into going for AMD.

earnest olive
#

you're selling him this for 1500 regardless of how much it costs you to build?

#

that's an insane profit margin

earnest olive
#

ah

#

what's your profit margin then

frigid night
#

Depends. If he goes for my used parts then it'll be a good profit. Otherwise he'll be paying me $150 to put the pc together.

earnest olive
#

still very good

frigid night
#

If he goes for the used parts then ill be getting roughly $300 profit on top of the profit for building jt

cyan ravine
#

Damn reo

frigid night
#

As the lightly used parts i got for very cheap

cyan ravine
#

Friends are great huh

frigid night
#

He's just a customer :P

earnest olive
#

if hes willing to go used try to get a used gpu

cyan ravine
#

ruffles moneybags

earnest olive
#

$380 3060 is just

#

i just sold a platinum bin 3070 for $20 more than that

cyan ravine
#

Plate num?

earnest olive
#

passes gpupi at above 2.2ghz on air

frigid night
#

It it was lightly used gpu possibly.

cyan ravine
#

2.2 terish

earnest olive
#

2220mhz gpupi

#

2160mhz time spy

#

2130mhz fully daily stable

frigid night
#

I'm not into the used gpus. I wouldn't even recommend it to my customer tbh

cyan ravine
#

2130 full stable is kinda epic

earnest olive
#

vram is no slouch either

frigid night
#

This guy has spent thousands on laptops that take craps on him soo

earnest olive
#

+1250 on the gddr6 daily stable

frigid night
#

I don't think he'd have an issue with 350 for a new gpu

earnest olive
#

flashed to strix vbios for 350w pl

cyan ravine
#

Lol

earnest olive
#

paying $20 less than that for a 3060 is just

#

yikes

#

but at least it's not coming out of your pocket

#

if he says no to used that's his loss

#

cheap dual fan 3060 no less

#

that was a 3070 tuf

frigid night
#

Yuck tuf

#

xD

earnest olive
#

?

frigid night
#

You keep naming off things I've had issues with haha

earnest olive
#

that's on stock air cooling

#

with voltage locked at 1.1v

frigid night
#

Would it be worth to just slap my lga1700 contact bracket on that? I'm thinking no, but I could squeeze out a tad more profit.

earnest olive
#

putting contact frame on an i5-12400 is kinda meme

#

my i3-12100 saw 0C difference from contact frame lol

#

I guess it depends on how unethical you want to be in squeezing his money out

#

I wouldn't do it, it doesn't offer any benefit whatsoever

#

but I also don't primarily build for money so no reason to be unethical about things

frigid night
earnest olive
#

well, gl with that

frigid night
#

Like, I do have the fans that came with both my corsair 4000D/5000D so I might just throw those in there free of charge on top of whatever fans come with the case.

if you ask about 12th gen dropping prices, i dont think so, those are pretty recent as well and intel already confirmed that the 13th gen will be a bit pricier. but thats just my opinion

little osprey
#

I was thinking about going with a 12400 over a 12100 if the 12400 goes down a bit, but I'm curious if 11th generation is gonna drop a substantial amount to where it'd be worth changing plans?

empty pollen
#

11th gen not worth for the price nor the performance

#

go directly to 12th gen or am4

earnest olive
#

but if it's a cheap prebuilt fan and it uses standard interface you might as well replace it

#

or if it's still under warranty maybe get lenovo to send you a new fan

can probably afford a galahad

Yeah I'm mostly in between asus rog 360 and galahad

my idea of a pc with personality is something with custom pieces inside

i toss together budget builds in like 10-15 minutes

auto repair isn't a result of anything wrong with your hardware necessarily

i get auto repair from doing ram oc with working ram

#

so yeah your new ram is defective

sooo 40 USD

i think i'd rather shell out 148 aud for the i3-10105 at that price

even just for school work

2c/4t zen1 is gonna need replacing a lot sooner than 4c/8t comet lake

#

would be cheaper in the long run

green tapir
#

i need it in 2 weeks

earnest olive
#

but if 3000g is what you can afford now i guess thats fine

green tapir
#

ye

earnest olive
#

can drop in a cheap used 3600 or something later

green tapir
#

its a good cpu

earnest olive
#

3600 is like 90 usd in the states now

#

dunno about aus

green tapir
#

well the mthrbd i have supports yp ro r7 5700

green tapir
#

ouch

earnest olive
#

i mean it should support a 5950x

#

it might not run very well

#

but it can boot

green tapir
#

oh and no its not

earnest olive
#

yeah i just looked at the support list

#

5950x is on there

green tapir
earnest olive
#

is usd to aud really 1:2 now?

green tapir
#

its 400 for some reason is Australia

earnest olive
#

usd to aud is only 1:1.45

#

nowhere near 1:2

still roostBOT
#
Goofy#9462 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

earnest olive
green tapir
#

yes but our pricing on stuff is TERRIBLE

earnest olive
#

thats why i was saying

#

it's 90 usd in the states used but i dont know about the australian used market

#

surely a 3600 will be cheap there in another 2 years though...

green tapir
#

ye

#

alr

earnest olive
#

that b450 board should also support 5800x3d with the latest beta bios despite not listing support

green tapir
#

ok

earnest olive
#

beta 4.49 says agesa 1.2.0.7 support

green tapir
#

ill get a ryzen 3 3200g later

#

and give it to a friend

earnest olive
#

3200g meh

green tapir
#

i know

earnest olive
#

see if you can get a ryzen 3 4300g/5300g or something on aliexpress later on lmao

green tapir
#

ryzen 5 5600g

earnest olive
#

5300g/4300g are supposed to be oem only chips

#

but you can find them on aliexpress

green tapir
#

ok

earnest olive

pretty steep upgrades over the 3200g

green tapir

ryzen 7 7500g šŸ˜Ž

1gb ram

earnest olive

i think the highest end cpu you can run with 1gb ram is i9-9900KS

green tapir

wow

earnest olive

without resorting to maxmem

green tapir
#

ummmmm

#

anyway

#

cya

earnest olive
#

1gb ddr4 doesn't exist

green tapir
#

i need to go

earnest olive
#

so you have to get 1gb ddr3

#

and intel 9th gen is the last to work with ddr3

green tapir
#

and an adapter

earnest olive
#

nope

#

no adapter needed

green tapir

and ur still going on a rant

#

earnest olive

how is this a rant

green tapir

i dont matter

i really want a ram heatsink like this but for ddr4/ddr5...

Yo I have a question so when I built my pc i was on a mega budget and went with 500gb storage (ik stupid I regret it ) anyways my mobo has one ssd slot and I'm a brand designer so I cant lose any files and I need way more storage! How would one go about transferring info including OS to another ssd without a second slot... Any help is MUCH appreciated! Thanks!

icy thunder
#

nah

#

hes a casual

mossy venture
#

Total budget for the build?

#

And is he dead set on that case and aio?

empty pollen
mossy venture
#

Underkill for their budget

#

12700f and 3080 12gb/6900xt

icy thunder
#

max amount he can spend 2300

empty pollen
#

true, i though on a mid range budget šŸ˜›

icy thunder
#

not dead set on that case and aio

#

could literally change anything in that list

#

as long as it functions well

#

wants both function and form

#

preferably function though

mossy venture
#

6900xt performs a bit better, if he wants to use rtx then get the 3080

icy thunder
#

looks good, thanks

mossy venture
#

The extra fans are optional btw

#

And if he needs a monitor, I'd suggest m27q-p

icy thunder
#

thats what i have lol

my school work build

i alredy have hdd and mthb and ram'

#

why not a 5600?

#

they are almost at the same price

Better to do this if you can update the bios

Uhhh

oh, didnt saw no gpu

hey felix, even derbaur praised the ls720, you can die at peace now

second to artic but at least is better good looking and rgb

cyan ravine

#

oh

cyan ravine
#

Also that's not really a bad build if you also had good ram and mobo picked out

empty pollen
#

an am5 build is a complete overhaul anyway xD

cyan ravine
#

Oh, no AM5 is a new socket

#

If that's wym

shut rampart
#

olh

green tapir
#

if u say just get a so and so cpu or gpu

#

the prices in australia are so much worse

cyan ravine
#

I redid a whole new list

green tapir
#

so shush

cyan ravine
#

Also I live in Australia

green tapir
#

i can pick all that stuff up from ple comp for so much cheap

cyan ravine
#

If you can pay them to update bios, do this instead

green tapir
#

r

green tapir
cyan ravine
#

Oh then just get the 5600G then

green tapir
#

no

cyan ravine
#

It's superior in many ways

green tapir
#

im on a super tight budget

#

if i could i would

cyan ravine
#

It's the same overall price system what

green tapir
#

-_-

#

i pick sht up locally

#

not online

cyan ravine
#

Ple doesn't even have athlons

green tapir
cyan ravine
#

Why ask for feedback if we can't see how much you're paying

green tapir
#

idk

cyan ravine
#

Also, you should try centrecom, they're usually the cheapest here

green tapir
#

is gud?

#

w8

#

is centrcom in WA?

cyan ravine
#

I always do online with centrecom, they're very good

#

@empty pollen LS720 has a good coldplate shape

#

I didn't know what the shape was, I just knew it was good

#

They did the corsair approach for the coldplate

#

(not really corsair's idea but it's easy to remember theirs are convex)

#

Arctic a lot quieter tho

empty pollen
#

yeah the convex plate is a win win for me

#

same on the ak620

#

but yeah, both are good for 720 wins on the good looking department as well

#

artic need to level up their game with those ugly looking pumps at least šŸ˜›

#

the performance is there but the looks.... oh man

cyan ravine
#

Artic is a case of all function no form

#

I'm fascinated that the kraken did so well there

#

Maybe it's just the limited sample size

empty pollen
#

indeed

#

too sad that those msi aios are plagued with bad reviews about clogging

#

some of them are pretty

cyan ravine
#

That's deserved tho

empty pollen
#

no doubt

cyan ravine
#

Tom's hardware also supposed to have an ls720 review in the works, still waiting for that one

empty pollen
#

some reviews said that the 720 is kinda loud tho

#

not a problem anyway with my headphones thinkies

#

but all of them agree on the quality and performance of the 720

cyan ravine
#

Ya

#

Well the AK620 is loud too

#

The fans aren't perfect

#

If you did standardised fans across all the aio's I wonder how that would look

empty pollen
#

im almost convinced in buying the ls720 for my pc on october

is it sn850 ?

analog pulsar
#

Sn850x

ornate condor
#

I were able to remove heatsink of sn850 with screwdriver lol

#

Idk about new model

analog pulsar
#

Bc I had an oopsy

ornate condor
#

Just pry it off with knife idk it's not easy to remove hmm

analog pulsar
#

So the screw is stuck inside if I can remove heat sink I can place it in

#

@ornate condor can I vc you

ornate condor
#

I removed heatsink from sn750 and sn850 before . Just pry it off with something but very carefully hmm

ornate condor
ornate condor
#

Yeah it's not easy

#

it's glued to pcb

#

You have to pry it off with knife or razer or something

#

But you can damage ssd tho hmm

analog pulsar
#

You mean white stuff

#

Someone said you can damage ssd

empty pollen
#

yes you can

ornate condor
#

Yes you can damage it if you not do it carefully

#

I still didn't get my sn850x from Amazon

#

Idk why Do I even paying for prime

empty pollen
#

you need to use a razor to take it off as war pig said, but you can scratch or damage the chips if careless

ornate condor
#

I'm not pretty sure how that heatsink is . I removed heatsink from sn850 before

#

Sn750 was easy

analog pulsar
#

Okay I got it

ornate condor
#

For sn850 you have to pry it off with something

analog pulsar
#

I think I damage it

ornate condor
#

I still didn't seen new sn850x so

empty pollen
ornate condor
#

you have to don't bend ssd and not scratch it KEKW

#

it's challenge lol

cyan ravine
#

Omg stop

#

@analog pulsar take the mobo heatsink off and leave it off

cyan ravine
#

Then just use the heatsink on the ssd if it's not already off

#

You can

analog pulsar
#

No look at pica above

cyan ravine
#

You absolutely 10000% can

analog pulsar
#

The screw broke inside whole

cyan ravine
#

Omg

#

Nooooo

#

Ok well

#

Alternative

#

You can still screw the heatsink down if it has its own screw

analog pulsar
#

N9

cyan ravine
#

So you'll have to take the sn850x heatsink off

#

It has 4 tabs on each corner

#

It should be able to come off without prying

#

Just don't pry anything

#

Prying it is risky af with a pcb involved

analog pulsar
#

@cyan ravine hm

cyan ravine
#

Ngl Kenzie I'm scared

#

I'm scared for what I'm reading next

#

In fact

#

If the ssd is still untouched, take it out of the mobo, put it back in the box, take it back and swap it

you can buy them brand new for 230-250, so there is no reason to pay more than 200 for used

zero benefit in gaming but they actually perform similarly to 2080 in some tasks

# earnest olive what happened

Short story I killed ssd and how is bc I didn't listen to people when they TOLD me not to take the heat sink off and you know WHAT I did I took it off šŸ’€

#

WHY THE HELL CAN I NOT LISTEN TO PEOPLE FOR GOD SAKE

obsidian wigeon

that's odd

#

an ssd should throttle if it heats up too much

#

not just roast itself to death

No I bent ssd

obsidian wigeon
#

oh lol

#

And scratched it

obsidian wigeon
#

good luck returning that

analog pulsar
#

I might throw it away

I got from newegg they probs won't refund

next time buy one without a heatsink

or just you know

don't try to tear it apart

I also wanted to use the sheilds my mobo came witj

My friend has a dell optiplex 790 that they use for college work that recently stopped turning on, they said the power button had been dodgy before so my assumption would be that that is the problem, would it be safe to short the on/off with a screwdriver and if that is what the problem is is it even possible to change what case its all in
