super flower leadex III bronze good psu?

[mossy venture]

Depends on price

Pretty sure that's B tier iirc, but I could be wrong

The gold is the A tier one

I'd check, but school internet has the site blocked for some reason, and my data connection isn't good enough to load the site

[rancid lodge]

Gonna wait prob another month or so, but thinking about buying 7900xtx (hopefully by whatever point I theoretically buy it all the big bugs would be squashed and it’d be a bit easier to get). 850w PSU enough to handle it and 5900x? Thinking possibly, but unsure.

[mossy venture]

Yes

Depending on model

Though with current issues on the xtx, I'd specifically avoid the reference until more information comes out about the issue with them. I dont know a ton about it, Felix, sips and pato know more about it than I do

[rancid lodge]

Yea, how do I tell which cards use the ref board? I assume it’s all the models that look like duplicates of each other…

[mossy venture]

I dont know

Any kf the three people I just mentioned (as well as many others here, those three are just some of the more active people) would likely be able to tell you

[rancid lodge]

Hm alr, yeah I’m hoping by the time I go and hunt one down the issues with the ref + driver bugs are fixed

Appreciate the help though

I’ll just have to keep up with updates on it and see

[mossy venture]

What model is the psu btw?

[rancid lodge]

Uhh it’s been a hot minute but I’m pretty sure it’s an A list EVGA 850

[mossy venture]

G6?

[rancid lodge]

Possibly yeah, let me check

[mossy venture]

Either way, if it's A tier it'll be fine with an xtx

Most if not all B tiers would be fine too imo

[rancid lodge]

It was the G1+ I think? Either way I’m pretty sure it was A tier on the list

[mossy venture]

G+?

Idk if there's a g1, g2 and g+ exist

[rancid lodge]

Not at home so I can’t check the box rn lmao

But yeah I think G1

[mossy venture]

It's fine, not like you're buying rn

[rancid lodge]

yeah

[mossy venture]

Either way, I think all G_ units are either A or B tier

Don't quote me on that

[rancid lodge]

Looks like it yeah

Only one or two on C from what I’m seeing

[limber oyster]

Starting my second pc

[feral citrus]

You trickster, you hooligan, you rapscalion!

Now i just have to get a better pc!

[cyan ravine]

Lol

[wheat leaf]

When you build a 19,000+ computer and the specs are But 254gb of ram, 2 24GB 3090 water cooled, 64 core cpu, 28 rgb case fans, 1300w psu, 9tb of storage. This is only a game bc too much money but imagine tho

[fossil cedar]

Here me out... Pc part picker

Also 3090? So last year

[bold prism]

should i download the bios stuff on the motherboard site? or just the drivers is fine?

[upper condor]

Finally built my PC but there’s a weird problem

My Ethernet can’t download

It connects to internet, but just doesn’t download after like 10mb

I don’t even know

I installed the lan drivers

And every other driver

But for some reason it can’t download for more than like a second

[upper condor]

Used Wi-Fi for this

It fixed itself lol

[leaden mauve]

https://tenor.com/view/minor-spelling-mistake-gif-21179057

[upper condor]

I RETURN

For some reason

I have 0 upload speed lmao

My download is 930 or something but 0 upload, no clue why

And even though I'm on an AMD board I have intel drivers for lan? not sure lol

[south cliff]

I need help

My friend got a new gpu and it went to windows and I installed drivers and after that it just went to the boot screen and after that just turns off

[potent portal]

Common, Intel is one of the big 3 networking chipset manufacturers.

[potent portal]

Does it still get to bios? HDMI or DP? Have you tried safe mode?

[south cliff]

It went into bios and tested for a cpu fan failure

HDMI

How do I go into safe mode

[potent portal]

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-your-pc-in-safe-mode-in-windows-92c27cff-db89-8644-1ce4-b3e5e56fe234#:~:text=After your PC restarts%2C you,for Safe Mode with Networking.

[south cliff]

I’m in bios

It’s a Alienware

[potent portal]

Good that means it's still working, at least enough to post

[south cliff]

I did load optimized default

[south cliff]

I did the system recovery mode

[south cliff]

Well I got back in windows and tried downloading drivers

And black screen again

[dim reef]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RZrqfv

good build?

[potent portal]

Run ddu while you're in safe mode

[haughty void]

is there a case that can be flipped to display the pc on the right?

so the right side is the window

[potent portal]

Look up inverted layout cases, there's several. Check out the Segotep Typhon.

[haughty void]

well when i look on wegg it comes with nada

https://www.amazon.com/quiet-Full-Tower-Computer-Window-BGW15/dp/B07DWDQFSX/?tag=girgammal-20&geniuslink=true&th=1

well theres this

expsensive as hell tho

[potent portal]

Yeah some of the BQ cases are modular and you can flip them

[haughty void]

@topaz flame what do you think?

you can either A. Get a windowless case

or B spend extra and get a really good case

[potent portal]

Silent base 802 can invert too iirc

A little smaller/cheaper

[haughty void]

Decoupled motherboard tray can be relocated for an inverted layout

https://www.newegg.com/black-be-quiet-silent-base-atx-mid-tower/p/2AM-0037-00075?Item=9SIA68VCKG8197

[topaz flame]

B. xD

[haughty void]

https://www.newegg.com/p/2AM-0037-00034?Item=9SIA68V7ER7557

at this point i leave it up to you

@potent portal what about some rgb fans?

what are suggested that wont break the bank lol

[potent portal]

P12/P14 argb

[haughty void]

kk

[topaz flame]

this one :3

[haughty void]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08Y8N5J89?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

@potent portal these?

[potent portal]

Yep

$13 a fan is not bad at all

Esp rgb

[toxic wraith]

Help please this is my first time building a computer and I’m confused on how to unplug the fan and get out that box I have a p400a

[potent portal]

You can access the drive bay the box is in after removing the back panel

While you're back there you can trace the wire for the fan

[haughty void]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9QfV8r

this is the end result

[potent portal]

That looks a lot like my pc, just different brands lol

[haughty void]

lol

[toxic wraith]

Uh idk how to open the back panel I’m so confused

[potent portal]

There's 2 screws on the back of the case. Once those are out, the panel slides off.

[toxic wraith]

It’s not sliding off 😭

[jagged ember]

what case is it

[toxic wraith]

P400A

[jagged ember]

should just slide off after taking off the thumbscrews

might be easier to grip case without getting glass dirty if you remove the glass too

[toxic wraith]

What website is that?

[jagged ember]

its the manual for the case lol

so you should have something nearly identical

in paper

[toxic wraith]

Ah

[jagged ember]

https://www.phanteks.com/assets/manuals/PH-EC400ATG.pdf

[toxic wraith]

I probably lost it lol

[jagged ember]

but, for your reference if you hate reading off of dead trees

[toxic wraith]

I’m gonna try to put more force

Okay I might just be weak

[jagged ember]

remember the thumb screws are captive

or they're supposed to be

dont be trying to pull them all the way out

[toxic wraith]

Yeah turns out I was just weak I got help. Thanks for your guys’d help

[south cliff]

how do i ruin ddu

nvm im dumb

i have to do it tommorow

[jagged ember]

you can just run it and choose to shut down after it's done

then just install the new driver tomorrow

[south cliff]

well im not at my freinds house

[upper condor]

How does one get case fans to sync RGB?

I have it plugged into the right place and they're compatible but I can't find them

Got it lol

[south cliff]

i ran ddu and its in windows should i try and install the drivers

[jagged ember]

yes

running ddu and having it restart means you've done that step

[north spruce]

Can someone assist me. Ive put together a new build and im getting a yellow ram ez debug and red cpu but only yellow ram when I remove the ram. Currently running z690 ddr4 hyperx 16gb ram i513700k ram had issues before but ran on my previous build. Black screen on launch

[obsidian wigeon]

You need to update bios to support the cpu

Which board do you have?

If it has flashback you can flash bios without using cpu

[north spruce]

I have a z690

[obsidian wigeon]

And make sure ram is in a2 and b2

No, which exact model?

[north spruce]

Correct thay is done

Oh

Umm let me check

Say pro z690-a brand is msi

[obsidian wigeon]

Yeah that can update bios with a usb drive

Put bios file into a usb drive, it's on msi site

Look up your board and get to downloads section

[north spruce]

I just saw a video of that too

Is that a common issue?

[obsidian wigeon]

It's not an issue, but rather something to do with Z690 boards only coming with bios for 12th gen cpus

Z790 comes with 13th gen support out of box

[cyan ravine]

Board made before cpu but not together = board go "the heck is this thing? I don't wanna boot"

[obsidian wigeon]

^

[cyan ravine]

Bios update helps it recognise the chip

[north spruce]

Im gonna try all of that rn

[obsidian wigeon]

Might need renaming bios file, but follow tutorials and the manual

It's fairly straightforward

[north spruce]

Also lol

[obsidian wigeon]

Gotta make sure the usb drive is an empty drive tho

[cyan ravine]

The pro z690-a has a bios flash button, so follow the msi guide on the website for your board support

There's also a youtube video if you google it from msi themselves

[north spruce]

You guys are awesome

[mossy venture]

Seconded

[north spruce]

Might be something else

So I misstated. I dont get a black screen the screen doesnt come on at all screen flashes as if nothing is launching.

[obsidian wigeon]

Yeah that's normal

CPU not supported by board, bios update needed

[north spruce]

I have the flash in the bios spot

Its just sitting idle

What if I like

Installed this 12700k updated bios then launched

[obsidian wigeon]

Which usb port did you plug it into?

It has to be the flashback port, not just any

[north spruce]

Its in the flash bios it has a nice grey outline on it

[obsidian wigeon]

Then you press flash button on the back of the board

[north spruce]

I pushed button as well

[obsidian wigeon]

Wait until it's done then

It's doing the flashing

[north spruce]

I sure do hope so

[obsidian wigeon]

Don't turn it off

[north spruce]

If not swap for the 12700k?

[obsidian wigeon]

Or you'll mess it up and will need an rma

[north spruce]

Rma?

Sorry im a scrub

[obsidian wigeon]

It's like sending it back to msi for repairs

Or swap for a new board

[north spruce]

So like this was an open box whats the chance that happened lol

And would swapping to the 12700 at any point not an option then?

[obsidian wigeon]

Very low

Open box is just a return

[north spruce]

Yeah just wondering if the guy before me made that mistake is all

But it did have all of the parts

[obsidian wigeon]

Open box stuff are returned stuff verified working, so don't worry

Is there any light on flash button or the port?

If it's still on or flashing it's not done

[north spruce]

It never flashed

[obsidian wigeon]

Hmmm

[north spruce]

Just turned red when I pushed the button

[obsidian wigeon]

Sounds like you did it wrong

And it's not accepting it

[cyan ravine]

If it even flashes for a moment then stops almost straight away then the bios flash isn't accepted

[obsidian wigeon]

Make sure the drive is empty, and bios file name is correct

[cyan ravine]

You need a fat32 thumb drive

[obsidian wigeon]

Oh right, that too

[north spruce]

Ah good ol whatever its called

[obsidian wigeon]

Format it to fat32 with another machine

Windows can do it

[north spruce]

Formatting yes

[obsidian wigeon]

ya

Right click on the usb drive and choose format

Then select fat32

[north spruce]

Still no flash

[cyan ravine]

You watched the guide ye?

[north spruce]

Yes sir

Its pretty straight forward

[cyan ravine]

https://youtu.be/iTkXunUAriE

Try not renaming it to msi.rom but use the original file name instead

That's worked for me before

[north spruce]

I tried that as well

Gonna just have to call it a day work early in the morning. Was hoping nothing would come up during this build but oh well. Thanks for the aid you guys have a great night sorry I couldnt produce results for ya

[cyan ravine]

I'll take it

[north spruce]

I needed results

So its on with the 12900

Launched immediately

What would I need to do?

Install manually through bios for the 13700?

[cyan ravine]

Ye

Using m-flash

[obsidian wigeon]

That would work too yep

[mossy venture]

I currently have this pc that I still haven't sold because I'm amazing at procrastinating. I have a spare 1660 and 512gb spare ssd. Would I be better off selling as is, or putting those in and getting a kit of ram for it? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RCDhXy

[south cliff]

After like 10 min or whatever we was installing windows update it went black but it was working

I’m pretty sure the gpu is broken but I’m going to check the temperature on it

And if it’s thermal throttling

[mossy venture]

Thermal throttling would not cause a black screen

[obsidian wigeon]

^

[south cliff]

Well it’s just turn off

[jagged ember]

Did it just go black and stop working?

[south cliff]

Ye

[mossy venture]

It could be cpu temp potentially

Or a power cable somewhere

[jagged ember]

That is weird

[empty pollen]

yeah more like cpu shutting down

[south cliff]

Ok

I will apply not thermal paste when I get home

And tighten it down

[jagged ember]

Apply toothpaste

[south cliff]

I’m not that dumb#

[empty pollen]

or maple syrup

[empty pollen]

in fact toothpaste can be used as a short term solution no joke

[jagged ember]

Superheat the air by applying 100,000V to it

Then air becomes a conductor

Wait that's bad

[trim forge]

can you guys help me out on buying a pc

[south cliff]

Well I got thermal paste so I’m going to use that

[south cliff]

Is it overheating? You thing

Think

[empty pollen]

i mean you can use it for some tests, it will work fine

so that way you dont waste thermal paste

[jagged ember]

Or you could just run a test before doing any of that

And monitor your cpu temperatures not through task manager

[empty pollen]

task manager bad

hwinfo good

[jagged ember]

MSI afterburner rtss good too

[empty pollen]

afterburner kinda wacky these days with so much virus-loaded versions around tho D:

or so i heard

[jagged ember]

Also MSI not paying the creator for a whole year

Dunno about the virus part but I haven't looked into it

[obsidian wigeon]

It's still good to use if you don't have newest hw

[mossy venture]

It's a real thing, but easy to avoid

[obsidian wigeon]

Or you simply want to monitor hardware

I love rtss

[jagged ember]

Go to MSI website

[obsidian wigeon]

ye

[jagged ember]

Should be fine there

[empty pollen]

yup

[obsidian wigeon]

Not the one that says afterburner

But msi.com

[jagged ember]

It's literally owned by MSI so

[south cliff]

I will do that

[jagged ember]

Imagine MSI afterburner is owned by Asus

That'd be funny

[obsidian wigeon]

asus afterburner???

[south cliff]

Gulp

[empty pollen]

Zotac afterburner

https://tenor.com/view/zotac-3080-gif-18549684

[obsidian wigeon]

that would be sick but i fear msi will just let it die

[empty pollen]

that meme will age like fine wine

[jagged ember]

https://tenor.com/view/jet-gif-22100461

It's literally an afterburner and launches your gpu to oblivion

[toxic wraith]

Omg nothing legitimately nothing has worked for me during ky@build

I can’t even screw on the motherboard

I’m so close to giving up

[trim forge]

can someone tell me if this is a good deal

[toxic wraith]

What do I do I can’t screw in my motherboard

[obsidian wigeon]

Got any pics of the board and case?

Sounds like you haven't put on standoffs for the mobo, if the case doesn't already has them installed

[obsidian wigeon]

That doesn't quite look right

Is the mobo sitting very close to the case?

[toxic wraith]

That’s why I’m asking I’m very confused

[obsidian wigeon]

Any gap between it and the back?

[toxic wraith]

Yeah

[obsidian wigeon]

hmm

[toxic wraith]

It’s like 2/3 of an inch

[obsidian wigeon]

I would try taking it off just to verify

[toxic wraith]

Actually like half

[obsidian wigeon]

Do take a pic for me

[obsidian wigeon]

Looks like it's normal

Try aiming the screw in straight

[toxic wraith]

Okay

[obsidian wigeon]

Use some force to get it threaded in

But not too much

[toxic wraith]

It looks a little bit off

Like it’s a tiny bit to the left

[obsidian wigeon]

Unscrew all the screws then adjust the mobo

I would start with middle ones for the first part to make sure it fits

Or you can start with the edges

[toxic wraith]

I’m doing something terribly wrong

My cpu keeps falling out of the socket

[obsidian wigeon]

Sounds like you didn't line it up right with the board

[toxic wraith]

Damn I swear I did

[obsidian wigeon]

Shouldn't really damage anything if it moves around, but it shouldn't move around unless it's incorrectly placed

[toxic wraith]

Uh oh

It may be damage

Damaged

Then

[obsidian wigeon]

Nah, it's not that easy to damage the socket

[potent portal]

They put "safe zones" around the standoff locations so you'd have to gouge the board to actually damage it with the standoffs

You'd see visible deep scratches with exposed metal in that case

You're building laying flat and not standing up right?

It's hard to tell from pics

[toxic wraith]

Yep

Is there an easier way to put on some screws because they’re positioned that makes the screw fall off and I can’t screw it in straight

[empty pollen]

just put the case horizontally on the table and use a magnetic-point screwdriver

[potent portal]

You can shift the board around a little to line it up better. Don't tighten all the way until you have them all in.

Every hole should have a peg under it also, you're not screwing directly to the case

[gentle pollen]

How do I install my laptop SSD to my PC? I got it mounted and a sata power cable plugged to my PSU but I am not sure what is with the 3 plugs on the SATA cable.

[strong raft]

Just pick 1. Same as a fan splitter.

[gentle pollen]

Ahh okay, how do ai connect it to the Mobo now?

[strong raft]

Near bottom right corner of mobo is the sata data ports

[gentle pollen]

Thanks.

Time to dig through this bag.

[empty pollen]

the good ol' 750ga

[gentle pollen]

Yep.

[empty pollen]

solid psu

[gentle pollen]

Aight is that all? It's all plugged in.

Do I just boot up my PC or do I need to set it up in the drive thing like with a nvme?

[dim forge]

GUYS

quick

this is cheaper than msi a-pro wifi and like 10 bucks more than d3sh wifi

good or nah

IGABYTE B660M GAMING X AX DDR4

[mossy venture]

yes it's a good mobo

[fossil cedar]

yes its a better choice, as it has flashback but whats the cpu and country?

[dim forge]

12400

colombia

[fossil cedar]

ah then i'd get the msi b660 a pro for less

[empty pollen]

👍

you cant go wrong with msi 🙂

[dim forge]

no no I mean

[fossil cedar]

if it was 13th then then the gaming x would be the obvs choice but you wont need flashback

[dim forge]

the msi b660 is like 10 bucks extra

[fossil cedar]

oh sorry i misread

eyeye

[dim forge]

or 20 I think

[fossil cedar]

get the gaming x

or honestly maybe ds3h

what price is the ds3h?

[dim forge]

like 10 bucks less

[fossil cedar]

up to you both gigab boards are a decent choice for a 12400

[dim forge]

gaming x has better vrm?

like are the 10$ extra worth it?

[strong raft]

Yes for me, even if just a 12400. Always liked slightly overbuilt mobos.

[dim forge]

out of stock when I tried to buy it

damn it

[gentle pollen]

I got my laptop's ssd plugged into my desktop now, however there seems to be an issue.

How come I can't see the files that were on the laptop before?

[fossil cedar]

Yeah but you're only really paying for future proofing at that point

[gentle pollen]

I got my laptop's ssd plugged into my desktop now, however there seems to be an issue.
How come I can't see the files that were on the laptop before?

[fossil cedar]

Did you have encryption?

[gentle pollen]

I don't think so.

also I should rephrase, I don't see all of the files but I do see some.

Is it because that drive still has win10 on it installed?

also not sure why but I see 2 new drives instead of just 1?

[fossil cedar]

Nope you should be able to see them normally going through the folders

what is a reputable free disk migration tool?

[toxic wraith]

I’m not sure where my audio plugin or my usb plug is can somebody help?

It’s the asus tuf z690 plus wifi d4

I already did

It’s my first time building so I’m confused

[elfin flame]

Bottom is audio, right is USB 3.0.

Line up the notch on the connector for the USB connector for your case to it.

Note the missing pin for the audio connector.

[toxic wraith]

Ty but for the usb I meant like a cable

Because I was watching a tutorial which showed that

Oh.

Ok thanks for your help

Where’s the jfp on my motherboard? I have a asus tuf z690 plus wifi d4 I can’t seem to find it. Idk why but almost everything is named differently than the video I am watching

[leaden raft]

On the sff strix motherboard that I can’t put two m.2 on does the back m.2 just not have a heat sink or am I missing something?

[fossil cedar]

Jfp?

[toxic wraith]

Jumper front panel I think

[fossil cedar]

Oh should be bottom right and be called f panel or something

[toxic wraith]

Ok thank you

[fossil cedar]

F panel is like always bottom right fyi

Not always very bottom right but in that area

[toxic wraith]

It’s just called panel

Is that it?

[leaden raft]

Any ideas?

[fossil cedar]

That's be it

[toxic wraith]

What

Are you ok

[fossil cedar]

No heatsink

As then you wouldn't be able to screw in the mobo

[fossil cedar]

That'd*

I don’t understand how to set up my rgb on my fans can somebody help

[leaden raft]

What should I make my aio on the meshilicous intake right?

[weary galleon]

yes

gpu and cpu should ideally both be intaking air

If anyone has a minute and would look over this build list for me I'd appreciate it. Most parts were just quickly grabbed to get a price estimate for someone
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MxQMH2

they would like Bluetooth whether that be on the mobo or a separate card

[potent portal]

I'm guessing they want full atx too instead of saving $30

[mossy venture]

are they deadset on am4?

[weary galleon]

probably better to do atx yeah

[cyan ravine]

They could get a good gpu boost going 12th gen there

[weary galleon]

am5? and no not set on a certain cpu

[potent portal]

Or wait a month for X3D

[mossy venture]

yeah that

alright one second

[potent portal]

That 750W is the price of a 850W A tier btw

RMx is great but $$$$

Guessing the case is an aesthetic choice too

[weary galleon]

nah mostly just a price holder

[mossy venture]

If they can spend $100 more https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yTTV8r
if not https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wQ2Zmr

[cyan ravine]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Lmhd78

[mossy venture]

that doesn't include the wifi and bluetooth though

if fine with changing cases felix's is a good choice

[weary galleon]

The other thing was they were thinking ddr5 so mobo and ram would last them longer but if you think ddr4 is a better move ill listen to you

[mossy venture]

could also switch it to that case or g360a in any of the three

[cyan ravine]

Ddr4 is a better move

[mossy venture]

8gb ddr5 sticks are not good

[weary galleon]

ok

[potent portal]

DDR4 does actively hurt 13th gen performance by about 5% on average across the board

[cyan ravine]

Meh

[potent portal]

12th gen is ok except maybe 12900k in some games

[cyan ravine]

I would say whether it be worth spending more on ram and maybe board to make up that gap tho

Could technically get a 4070ti on that budget but you'll be pushing it with a 12400

Like really wringing that cpu dry lol

Assuming 1440p

[potent portal]

It could be worth getting DDR5 for future builds too

[cyan ravine]

Meh

Cos you gotta get a better board too so it'll be over 1400 lol

[weary galleon]

i think a 6800 is really all they need

that plus 12400 seem ok?

[cyan ravine]

Ye

Those two together are fine

[mossy venture]

I still wouldn't bother spending more on a cpu even if you go back to 6800

[weary galleon]

ok

[potent portal]

Used GPUs are worth a look too

[weary galleon]

if i can convince them I will

[potent portal]

I've seen 3080 around $400

[mossy venture]

i saw one today for 370 sold

[weary galleon]

"ehh I don't wanna end up with some crypto mining card" :/

[potent portal]

Mining doesn't hurt it but ok, then get AMD used. 6950XT.

[weary galleon]

yeah that's gotta be up in the top 5 tech misconceptions

[potent portal]

No one in their right mind used AMD to mine.

[weary galleon]

lowest buy it now is 670 :(

[potent portal]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/404096922386

[weary galleon]

for parts

unless you think it's not actually broken

[potent portal]

Whoops wrong one

Cracked mobo is a no go

[leaden raft]

Spook

[toxic wraith]

How do I install a Galahad 360 aio

Lga 1700

Im getting insanely frustrated from it

[potent portal]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbHWfDTIuKE

[toxic wraith]

Ty

Bro I messed up so bad

I might have to get a replacement

[potent portal]

Did you strip a screw or something?

[toxic wraith]

Nvm it’s fine

Hopefully

[leaden raft]

Airflow go crazy

[south cliff]

I did replace thermal paste and still the same thing

[cyan ravine]

Can you explain to me what's happening

There's like 5 different chains to read through and I'm missing a ton of context

[south cliff]

Ok so my friend got new gpu and ram but when we went to download drivers it turned black and wouldn’t turn back on we got into safe mode ram ddu and still same thing got recommended to replace cpu thermal paste did that and still same thing

[cyan ravine]

Just downloading drivers?

Hm

Have you checked the psu cables are plugged in correctly

I.e 4+4 into motherboard, 8 into psu

6+2 into gpu, 8 into psu

24 pin into mobo, 16+8/20+4 into psu

Having your cpu cables backwards can cause sudden behaviour like that

Also a dodgy psu

[south cliff]

It’s a Alienware

[cyan ravine]

For anyone curious this will run but volt and ground are all muddled

[cyan ravine]

Still worth checking

[south cliff]

But I have chef a bunch of times

I’m fully resetting the pc right now

[cyan ravine]

You've checked the psu?

Checked ram is seated?

[south cliff]

Yeah used 2

Yeah and it detected

I can get to bios

[cyan ravine]

Detected ≠ properly seated

[south cliff]

After that just black

Yup

[cyan ravine]

Make sure they click top and bottom

[south cliff]

I have

[cyan ravine]

Sudden black screens on light load sound psu related to me

[south cliff]

I’m going to try the gpu on my main pc

[cyan ravine]

Ok

You ddu'd yeah?

What's the psu wattage

[south cliff]

650

[cyan ravine]

And the CPU it's also running

[south cliff]

It’s a rx 6600

And a 9400f

[cyan ravine]

Ok so should be fine, great wall unit

If you have no problems with the gpu in the other system then I would def again check psu cable runs to make sure they aren't backwards

Or via bios if you have an option to set an LLC

[upper condor]

I'm having a weird issue

Randomly during games my PC will go black and the fans speed up a ton

But I can still hear and talk

[analog pulsar]

Is your gpu overheating

[upper condor]

It never goes over 70 C from my monitoring things

[analog pulsar]

🤔

[obsidian wigeon]

sounds like gpu driver issue

[upper condor]

It's random but I noticed it's only when settings are cranked up high in like warzone or OW2

I did a clean install of GPU drivers with DDU

So not sure tbh

[cyan ravine]

Hotspot temps are what

70 sounds like core

[south cliff]

Yeah it did the same thing on my main pc

[cyan ravine]

Rma it

[upper condor]

70 is all I could see, it's like the in game GPU temp thingy

[south cliff]

Nvm it popped up

What should I do

[cyan ravine]

Then it's not the gpu don't rma

[cyan ravine]

Download hwinfo64 and check hotspot

Black screen and fans ramped is either driver crash or worse

[upper condor]

There is one weird thing

For some reason everywhere it says I have AMD gpu and nvidia

[south cliff]

No fans ramp

[cyan ravine]

Not u

[upper condor]

the hot spot seems fine, but it is saying GPU #1 AMD radeon

which makes no sense lol

[cyan ravine]

Ok so try a game like warzone rq

That is weird

Did you ddu between gpu's?

[potent portal]

What CPU do you have?

[south cliff]

Me?

[upper condor]

7700x

[potent portal]

You have an AMD iGPU

[cyan ravine]

@south cliff put gpu back in the alienware

I will ping you if I'm talking to you now Darth

[upper condor]

oh

[south cliff]

Ok sorry

[upper condor]

should i turn that off?

or what

[potent portal]

Nah it's not hurting anything

[cyan ravine]

Nah leave it

Try warzone rq

[upper condor]

alright lemme load it up

[cyan ravine]

And then come back and show us that hwinfo screen again

[south cliff]

Should I load up a game

[cyan ravine]

Can if you want to test it

[south cliff]

What would you do

[cyan ravine]

@south cliff Testing it sounds like a good idea

[south cliff]

Because I’m fully resetting the Alienware

What should I use

[cyan ravine]

Any old game tbh

[south cliff]

I don’t got old games

[upper condor]

Could it be I have my thermal limit set to 83 in some way?

running WZ right now

[rugged anvil]

the most unoptimized game of all time?

[south cliff]

Should I download drivers

[upper condor]

thats what it crashed on before lol

[south cliff]

No temp over 60 in mordahou

[cyan ravine]

Figurative, I mean literally anything

[cyan ravine]

Nope hotspot ignores that

[upper condor]

The highest it's gotten is 77

[cyan ravine]

Show screenshot

[cyan ravine]

I want that whole gpu screen readout again

[south cliff]

Well I took it out

[cyan ravine]

Oh wait wrong ping sorry darth

[south cliff]

Your good everything looked good

[cyan ravine]

Send me this again giraffe

[south cliff]

It’s probably the ram

[cyan ravine]

Ye try reseating ram again

Click bottom then click top

[south cliff]

When it’s down resetting I’m going to test each one in my system

[upper condor]

Yeah, just playing through a full game rn sorry lol

[cyan ravine]

Ok

[upper condor]

No crash this time

But it also happened in overwatch so it's not like WZ exclusive

[dim reef]

what’s the difference b/t an ATX and a micro ATX mobo

[potent portal]

mATX is shorter and has less PCIe and M.2 slots

That's pretty much it

[cyan ravine]

Ok it's not the card overheating then, if you haven't tried ddu then try it

[upper condor]

Yeah I'll just look out for it in the future

Would you perhaps know anything about ethernet

I'm having some really weird issues

[potent portal]

What kind of issues

[upper condor]

I have really good download speeds, but literally 0 upload for some reason

Only on ethernet

On wifi it works perfectly fine

I have drivers as well

[potent portal]

You've installed the latest driver from your mobo support page?

[upper condor]

Yeah I try to and it doesnt change the driver in device manager

And when I try to uninstall it it instantly reinstalls one from like 2 years ago idk why

[potent portal]

Ok we'll try the one from the manufacturer of the chipset

Intel or Realtek? Those are the most common

[upper condor]

Uhhh intel I believe

That's what it says

[potent portal]

Windows 10 or 11

[upper condor]

windows 10

[potent portal]

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/18293/intel-network-adapter-driver-for-windows-10.html

The second one, for x64

This driver released 2 weeks ago

[upper condor]

I did that then restarted my pc this shows up 😭

[potent portal]

wha

That's not supposed to happen lol

[upper condor]

Yeah I figured so

I think I might’ve messed up my drivers at the start because instead of individually downloading them I used the gigabyte master software or whatever

[potent portal]

Ok well F8 and load safe mode with networking

Uninstall the driver from device manager

Then see if the default driver has any issues

If it does you might have a hardware issue

[upper condor]

Could it just be the Ethernet cable?

[potent portal]

That would be the next thing to test if the standard driver has issues

[upper condor]

I mean looking at it the plastic looks cracked xD

Pc still starting in safe mode

[potent portal]

See what it does with no cable inserted

Wifi is nice to have as a backup isn't it

Just like that iGPU

[upper condor]

It just keeps resetting to that one screen

New one now

[potent portal]

Hoo boy

Try the recovery mode F1

And try a system restore

[upper condor]

It’s a new one every time 😭😭😭

[potent portal]

If recovery mode doesn't fix it then it's a hardware issue.

Maybe the bad cable shorted the port.

[upper condor]

Recovery mode doesn’t start

It just goes black then back to that screen

Should I get windows on a usb and try to reset it?

[potent portal]

You can give that a go sure

[upper condor]

If that doesn’t work and it is hardware

Is this something warranty would cover by any chance

[potent portal]

Yes 100%

Or an exchange if you're within 30 days of purchase

[upper condor]

Yeah bought it last weekend

[potent portal]

Exchange will be faster and less painful then

[upper condor]

Alright I’m gonna try and do a fresh install rq I guess

[upper condor]

Randomly decided to work now lmao

[cyan ravine]

Fascinating

Ssd dying?

[potent portal]

Possible

[upper condor]

I have no idea tbh

[potent portal]

But that doesn't really account for the network issues

[upper condor]

But I'm on it now and it works

Best I could get of the cable

It did happen to work after I unplugged that cable

And did the safe mode

I'll just another cable and use wifi for now

[runic flare]

Hey guys, I need some help. I have a i9 10850k paired with an MSI MAG CORE LIQUID 360R cooler, built the PC around 1.5 year ago and recently it started overheating. The temperature is at 40C upon launch and slowly climbs to 55C whilst idle. When watching YouTube alone, even though I have hardware acceleration turned on, the temps go to 80C. Was also exporting a premiere Pro file just before and the temps went up to 104C. The max CPU usage I ever saw was 20%. I've reapplied thermal paste and cleaned everything. Could it be the orientation of the cooler that made air build up in the top compartment resulting in little water flow? Anyone have any suggested on what to do? Thanks

[south cliff]

It was the ram that was the problem thanks so much

[languid nimbus]

Geez. I’d get in touch with MSI, to be honest. Seems like a faulty cooler

I have that same cooler & customer service was really helpful tbh

[cyan ravine]

Nice glad that's sorted

[cyan ravine]

The msi aio's have an apparent history of clogging up, I'm not familiar if this specific one has the problem, but it might be related

Or yeah, pump dying, percolation etc

[runic flare]

What was your issue? And would it matter that I got it a while ago?

[runic flare]

I'll contact MSI, thanks

[cyan ravine]

Idk if you're covered by warranty but yeah, they had a recall a while ago about it if you look up google

[languid nimbus]

Mine just didn’t come with some of the hardware, but they fixed it. But yeah I did see that some of theirs were recalled

If you type in your serial number or whatever on the site it’ll tell you if yours was in the recall period I think

[south cliff]

So one of the ram sticks isn’t working should I use dual channel for 16 Gb or 3 for 24 Gb

[runic flare]

Is that product registration?

[languid nimbus]

Yeah should be

[runic flare]

I bought off eBay so don't have an invoice

Is there no way to just search via serial number? @languid nimbus

[languid nimbus]

Hmmm I’m actually not sure, I can’t quite remember

I’m pretty sure if you just register it, it’ll tell you everything you need to know

[cyan ravine]

Go and buy a new set of cheap 2x16gb

And sell the 24gb

[runic flare]

You need an invoice for registration, I don't have one

[cyan ravine]

Silicon power 32gb gaming is 64$

[cyan ravine]

Ebay new?

[runic flare]

Yes

What should I do?

[cyan ravine]

Your ebay account will have details of the order no?

That can substitute an invoice

Provided it was sold "brand new"

[runic flare]

Right, it was. Thanks

[cyan ravine]

[outer rivet]

Boys and girls need help here. I have a PRO Z690-A motherboard with two 16gb ram (32gb) of 3200mhz but when enabling the XMP and putting it to the ram MGZ which it 3200mhz it crash and was only enable to leave it at about 3000mhz

I did put my ram in the good place which is 2-4

[limber oyster]

Hmm I think I need a different CPU cooler

[dim reef]

thx

[south cliff]

What is a good 512 gb 2.5 inch sad

Ssd

[mossy venture]

what are you using it for?

laptop?

[south cliff]

Gaming and windows no the Alienware

[mossy venture]

can it not take an nvme?

[south cliff]

It’s a r8 so I’m not sure

[mossy venture]

I'd check, it likely can

if it can https://pcpartpicker.com/product/94gQzy/silicon-power-p34a60-512-gb-m2-2280-nvme-solid-state-drive-sp512gbp34a60m28

[south cliff]

Is this a good one for the price

[mossy venture]

yes

[obsidian wigeon]

looks like it can

alienware r8 is a desktop

it's got 9th gen cpu

[south cliff]

Yea

[obsidian wigeon]

surely has a slot for m.2 ssd

[south cliff]

9400f

Also can I case swap it

[obsidian wigeon]

hm nah, no m.2 slots for ssd

[mossy venture]

it can 100% take an nvme

[south cliff]

I read that some parts do t fit in regular case

[obsidian wigeon]

it only takes wifi card

oof

[south cliff]

Anything else that’s decent?

[mossy venture]

this would be alright ig https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Pzkj4D/pny-cs900-480gb-25-solid-state-drive-ssd7cs900-480-pb

[south cliff]

https://a.co/d/5pz4HLY

Is this one good

[mossy venture]

the two sata ssds i normally recommend are the mx500 and 870 qvo/evo

but the 870s dont come in 500gb and the mx500 is overpriced

[south cliff]

It says it’s the same speed as the one at the top and 10 dollars Cheaper

[mossy venture]

look for any of these

speeds are next to irrelevant

much more goes into performance than just speed

the cs900 is a low end ssd, Im not sure with the one you linked falls

[south cliff]

https://a.co/d/03EETW4

[mossy venture]

yes

[south cliff]

Ah that’s not the pro

[mossy venture]

oh mb

[south cliff]

It’s 42 for 512gb is that good

[obsidian wigeon]

imo just about any sata ssds are ok

as long as they're not random brand

[south cliff]

Is there a big difference

[obsidian wigeon]

not really

sata is only limited to like 600 mb/s

[south cliff]

Oh ok

[south cliff]

Can I case swap the alienware r8

[obsidian wigeon]

not sure honestly

mobo looks kinda like proprietary

[mossy venture]

likely not without also changing atleast the mobo

[obsidian wigeon]

^

you'd need another mobo

[south cliff]

Ok

[dim reef]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jnsxv3

good build?

[mossy venture]

you can do a bit better https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Bbtqfv

[fossil cedar]

Assuming a ~1100$ budget I'd do this with one of the gpus, also i would consider the 13400f instead if you have the budget for it without compromising the budget towards the 6750xt instead
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nCJ2Dq

[dim reef]

ok

[digital nebula]

I'm still waiting on my motherboard lmao

I can't even refund yet cause of some issues that happened

[south cliff]

I gave it back to my friend and I was playing on it before I gave it to him and when he got home it started doing the same thing’s

[toxic wraith]

A I’m so overwhelmed. Can somebody help me with the cables for my Galahad 360 aio? And fans

[toxic wraith]

P400a

Sorry for late response I was doing something

[mossy venture]

360mm

[toxic wraith]

Yep

[cyan ravine]

It's not the gpu tho because it works fine in yours. It's something else

[toxic wraith]

Yoo same build

[south cliff]

Big w

[south cliff]

I don’t know what it could be

[toxic wraith]

U have any benchmarks for games with those specs?

[south cliff]

Goes to bios then load then black screen

[cyan ravine]

I suspect it's psu or ram related

[cyan ravine]

The behaviour is consistent with these two things

[south cliff]

I did last night there was one faulty ram stick

[south cliff]

I put a different psu in it

[cyan ravine]

Ah, did you reinstall windows after that?

[south cliff]

Should I put the oem one back

Yup

And installed drivers it was all good

Playing games anything

[analog pulsar]

@ornate condor

[south cliff]

Until he plugged it in

[cyan ravine]

Oh

[south cliff]

And it stopped working

[cyan ravine]

OH

OH OK

He has dirty power or something

Oh boi I'm not that great on this subject

[south cliff]

So it’s not my fault

He is using a extension cable to run it

[cyan ravine]

That's not necessarily the issue

It'll be the wiring of his house

[south cliff]

Is it just the plug#

[desert gulch]

Extension cords typically don't help depending on gauge and length but yeah not the root cause

[south cliff]

I could ask him to use a different one

Just in case

[ornate condor]

[cyan ravine]

He should try plugging in at a different part of the house

[south cliff]

Ok I will tell him

[cyan ravine]

Like, other half, different room

[south cliff]

I know

Think this could work?

[cyan ravine]

There's a chance it's related

If you were fine with the whole pc then there's a very good chance this is it

[south cliff]

Alright he says he is doing something so let me get back to you

[toxic wraith]

How do I do the cables on fans rgb and aio

Help pls

[south cliff]

With my 12600k and rx 6800?

[toxic wraith]

Yes

[south cliff]

What games

I also play 1440l

1440

P

[toxic wraith]

Any

[summer tusk]

So I haven't found an up to date answer for this:
If a motherboard supports up to 3200mHz ram, and I put 3600mHz ram in it, what will happen? will the ram run at the motherboard supported speed or not at all?

[stoic island]

Depends a lot on the situation, if you're on like b460 you're stuck with a limit, on some other platforms, it might mean the traces are terrible but could probably do more, and on most platforms, there's the official support that's usually like 3200 but it can do much higher and be fine

But you could also be limited by imc

If you're on Zen 1 or Zen+, you'll be pretty lucky going over 3200mhz

[summer tusk]

I’m planning on getting this board https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813119572?Item=N82E16813119572&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-13-119-572-_-01142023

[cyan ravine]

It's almost like his name starts the sentence

H610I will run 3200 jedec

3600 will not work

Also for reference, which cpu?

[stoic island]

Iirc h610 is hard locked to 3200 max

[cyan ravine]

In a h610i I wouldn't put anymore than a 12100/13100 in there

Or I guess 12300?

[summer tusk]

I have 12400 currently

[cyan ravine]

Yeah you'll be pushing it

[stoic island]

12400 stock is the max I'd put in it

[cyan ravine]

Motherboard is made for barebones spec

[summer tusk]

Got an ITX mobo recommendation that can take 3600 ram? $150 or less would be best.

[cyan ravine]

I'm not sure what's there but looks like max 4 phase vrm

[cyan ravine]

Asrock has one

[summer tusk]

Link?

[cyan ravine]

Gimme a minute

[summer tusk]

Alright

[cyan ravine]

Nvm they did have one

[stoic island]

Aorus lite is pretty chill

[cyan ravine]

Next cheapest is the z690m

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/2PYmP6/asrock-z690m-itxax-mini-itx-lga1700-motherboard-z690m-itxax

Or otherwise aorus lite

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/hJ92FT/gigabyte-z690i-aorus-ultra-lite-mini-itx-lga1700-motherboard-z690i-aorus-ultra-lite-rev-10

[analog pulsar]

yes

[cyan ravine]

The asrock iirc runs up to 13600k

And aorus would do up to 13900k

No wait I remember

[summer tusk]

Good enough for me. I don’t need a beefy cpu for anything I do

[cyan ravine]

Ofc

But it's good to be mindful of it

[summer tusk]

Yeah

[cyan ravine]

If ever you need an upgrade

[summer tusk]

I have an atx mobo now, but I want to build an itx with the same components, so I can always go back to my old case and mobo. I’m planning on doing it so I can take it to college and not have a massive case in my dorm

I don’t have a windows key, so I don’t care about those issues

[cyan ravine]

I would sell off the atx stuff

Or use it to make a second system

[summer tusk]

I probably will eventually build another system

[cyan ravine]

Give us a hoy if you want help with that

[fossil cedar]

pretty pointless when the b660 hdv is like 80$ tho lol

oh itx ye

[cyan ravine]

Git rekt

I filtered itx only you donk

[earnest olive]

keep in mind that your cpu may not support 3600mhz ram in gear 1

it's better to go for 3200mhz xmp unless you are willing to do some manual tuning

[cyan ravine]

H610

[earnest olive]

even in z790

a locked cpu may not run 3600 gear 1

it's silicon lottery

and 3200 gear 1 is far superior to 3600 gear 2

[summer tusk]

CPU currently runs 3600 mhz

[earnest olive]

oh you already have the ram running with it

use hwinfo to check what gear mode it's in

[summer tusk]

Yeah. I have a complete system. I’m just converting it to itx

[earnest olive]

you can see gear mode in the memory timings section of the sensors window

[summer tusk]

Currently at college and don’t have my pc

🥲

[earnest olive]

if your system has defaulted to 3600 gear 2 you could be missing out on a LOT of performance

compared to 3200 gear 1

[summer tusk]

Can you change it?

I’m assuming it’s a hardware limitation?

[earnest olive]

yes

you might need to manually tune it to run something like 3400 gear 1 if your cpu cannot do 3600 gear 1

[summer tusk]

I don’t know how to oc ram

[earnest olive]

i did a comparison here, if you look at cpu scores you can see that 3200c16 gear 1 beats 3600c16 gear 2 by about 15% in average and minimum fps

[earnest olive]

well check when you get back, if you're lucky your system just does 3600 gear 1 without tuning

[summer tusk]

It’s a 12400f, so It’s not a crazy cpu. I’d say it’s probably running in gear 2

[earnest olive]

my i3-12100 was capable of running 3600 gear 1

above testing was done on i3-12100

[summer tusk]

Ahhhh

[earnest olive]

paired with a 3090

[summer tusk]

I have a 3060

[earnest olive]

it's just luck of the draw, some 12th gen non-K cpus can run 3800 gear 1, some can only run 3000 gear 1

[summer tusk]

Got it

I’ll be going back next weekend and can check then

[earnest olive]

it's not based on model either, you will see the same behavior between i3-12100 and i9-12900

it's just individual variance

[summer tusk]

So how do you oc ram

[earnest olive]

https://github.com/integralfx/MemTestHelper/blob/oc-guide/DDR4 OC Guide.md this is a nice guide

you don't need to go this far just to set 3400 gear 1 though

don't worry about it until you can check what your pc is running at

[summer tusk]

Alright

Thanks!

[earnest olive]

if you're lucky you have nothing to worry about

if it is indeed running 3600 gear 2 then come back and ask for help then

[analog pulsar]

He said it didn’t work

[toxic wraith]

When I tried to connect my monitor it said no hdmi signal from your device on first time trying to do this. Any ideas on how to fix?

[maiden gulch]

got a strange compatability or hardware issue going on if anyone would care to chime in with some advice

My friend just busted his glass on his o eleven dynamic L

Jog my memory again

[maiden gulch]

I5 Raptor lake 13600, 32gb ddr5, 3060ti. windows 10. been running fine for over a month last night it just starts wigging out on warthunder of all games.

then it keeps blue screening me non stop, took out my ssd and video card, put them into a much older rig, no problems.

cant even keep my actual rig running long enough to even diagnose it

[cyan ravine]

Do you have the specific blue screen error

[maiden gulch]

it kept giving me all sorts of them.

typically a "Kernel" one

and several others

[cyan ravine]

Kernel mode exception?

Irql not less or equal?

[maiden gulch]

i contacted windows thinking maybe it was just some wonky update i couldnt find, they had me reistall, which i had to do on this other rig, which whiped my SSD and it still doesnt work on my new rig

yeah that sounds familiar, but it was giving me several different ones also

[cyan ravine]

Is your ram seated properly?

Clicked top and bottom on both?

[maiden gulch]

i also got Whea uncorrectable error

yep, it's lumed TFORCE ram so it clicks in pretty solid

[cyan ravine]

Those all sound like ram errors

Ever done a ram test?

[maiden gulch]

i havent, it wont run long enough to do anyways, i've got 16gigs of ddr4 i could try out though

[cyan ravine]

Sometimes cpu can be related but I doubt if it's stock

[maiden gulch]

it's stock, havent OC'd it

[cyan ravine]

You'd need a different board for ddr4

[maiden gulch]

you sure? i thought it'd run both

[cyan ravine]

There's only one board that runs both and it's a h610 that can only do 1 stick at a time

[toxic wraith]

Anyone know why I’m not getting any signal for hdmi from my pc?

[cyan ravine]

And it's garbage for a 13600k lol

[maiden gulch]

ah okay hold on i'll let you know what board i'm running

ASrock z790

[cyan ravine]

Yeah definitely won't fit
