So that means just use the program with my old gpu in safe mode and then shut down PC when it's done and install the amd and that's it?
Amd gpu*
It's pretty easy to ddu, takes about 20 min total between actually doing it and reinstalling
There's a guide on the site to follow
Just gotta make sure you enable safe mode in I think bios

Idk used be sketch
It can be
Mainly you can't usually get ur money back ez
If you know what to look for it isn't
Yea
Ebay?
The other day I saw a 3080 for $320, had some damaged memory modules though
So was a 3080 8gb
Lol
Tryna find me a good 3080 rq?
I'll buy it in a heart beat
Also a 5700x could handle a 3080 or nah
Fal cie is very good at finding trustworthy ebay listings
I hate navigating ebay mobile personally
Yeah it'll be fine
Falcie is awesome
Indeed
500-540 shipped might be more realistic, or at least more common. People still paying 600+ for a ftw3 sometimes.
(glance at buy it nows 1st perhaps)
Also filtering by used and new and not for parts/broken
Might go for something new but I'll keep a look out
360 more a few different 6700xt
Which are plenty good enough for the games I play
Would I need a new PSU if I upgraded ggpu and CPU? I think I have a 500w rn idk remember off top of head
Check, and check the model
Will once I get home
https://www.newegg.com/msi-rx6700xtmech-2x12goc/p/N82E16814137640 is this a decent 6700xt or are there better cooling for same price
@mossy venture
That's the cheapest one
Next would be the ASRock for $360
I've heard a lot of complaints about the mech/Ventus so $20 more might be worth it
Need updated 2023 card thanks.
maybe tonight
it's more work than it looks like

been working for 7 hours today already
about to eat and then have 5 hours of classes

Share BAO 
I too shill fractal
I had a meshify c, great for a midrange build, now I have a torrent and it's amazing
The only problem with the torrent is now I need a new desk
(you're still missing a full tower)
900D 
Oh yea get the 2 xl
That was my case of choice before I got the 900d basically free
Well now I'm determining for you 


Buy a bunch of decommissioned SAS drives, flash a sas lsi controller into an hba, and run 6 of them in RAID 50 
Pick these instead

Oh...sorry
All g
I've been up for....a while
Just got done rearranging my 3000rpm fans to try and quiet them down ....
Hey guys
Got a MSI 4070 Ti Suprim X OC, silver stone HELA 850r platinum cybernetiks
I put it in a lenovo legion T5-28IMB05 90NC007MUS pre-build lol
I’m going to end up just going back to building from the ground up because I bought my pre-build when GPU inflation was at its highest and it was cheaper to get a pre-built than build it
Any recommendations for a motherboard? For the 4070 Ti Suprim X OC?
I need at least gen 4 pcie, mine is only gen 3
How much was the suprim?
It supports it
Is that 975 after taxes and shipping?
Yeah
10700 should run a 4070 ti tho
It has the highest clock speed
I actually have a 10700 haha
It’s in the pre-build though
Ye I know I looked up the pre-built lol
You posted this and I found it immediately
Lol
So I’m making a huge leap
But 4070 ti should just run in that system esp. since you upgraded psu too
Yeah but it doesn’t have a true spec build because lenovo customization… it’s goofy
How much ram do you have?
Oh it’s runs man haha
I almost wanna say "Rate my build" but imma get roasted
I installed it
I just want to maybe put back in original PSU (650W FSP Gold + ) and 1660 super and sell it
Well that's fine if you want, could just sell that psu and old gpu tho
I got it for 30% because I was a staples sales manager and a tech sales supervisor at the time
I’m just a min/max person so I need to go all out a bit
And try to future proof as much as I can
I have two 1440p 165/180 Hz OC Monitors LG ultra gear
Actually depends on which fsp gold but anyway
You really don't want to keep the legion? That seems very usable
10700 and 4070 ti makes a lot of sense to me
It does but like I feel like I can just sell it for near $1000 and actually do complete custom build
As in you won't really gain much changing cpu
It still has warranty
Eh no
Not for 1000
Maybe, 600-700?
Def not 1000
It has the 3 year legion ultimate support and still retails for $1300-1500
Somehow lol
Yes but for 1000 you can build something new that easily claps it
Yeah! That’s what I’m sayin haha
I have thousands of dollars of networking equipment too
10700+1660S
Am I able to post link to pre-build
I say 600-700
Yeah maybe 700 at best
Gopher it
Probably close to 600 or even lower tbh
You’ll see what I mean hold on
Let me go in Best Buy bathroom to post lol
Maybe actually with the release of the new gpus
My ram is limited too it’s annoying
How much ram?
Lol
I'd just change the ram tbh, sell the old parts
10700 is a very capable cpu
It's a 10700K without the overclocking unlocked basically
You'll probably get a good net gain more selling these few things as parts tbh
10700 games about the same as 5600
That's fine tho
Fine to pair with a 4070 ti at 1440p, though it would be a bit of a limit
Ye
Now if you're running a 4070 ti at 1080p, id like to have some words with you
In your opinion what's the best custom pc building website
Literally none
Actually I guess cyberpower
Theyre decent
You'd still be better off buying individual parts and paying someone to put it together
Would likely end up cheaper still, unless you catch a cyberpower site wide sale
https://pcpartpicker.com/list is my favourite

Esp. since you just asked about a 4090

Hi
What is good 6700xt rn brand wise whatever thing
The cheapest that isn't a mech
For 400 or so
?
Ok definitely go look at that
Ok 6-750 would be enough fs
As it is this thermal take was known for blowing up lol
I didn't buy it I was given it and luckily it hasn't
This
who tf is enermax
And yes this
ok
They make a bunch of stuff. This psu is goated
Known for being the way opposite of blowing up
why is it goated
Very very good design
Great transient response, great safeties
You know I never set out to do that even at the start with the paste thing
I take my recc's from a highly trustworthy source
Im going to get that now actually
the gpu might wait I'll see what the funds lookin like
Kk
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08YKCC8XD?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1 also this is a option
idk if it's great or not
Nah not for 30 more
Definitely not dual oc
both 420
Nope not worth
saphire pulse is 410
I was just making sure lol
💀
last one is powercolor fighter for 370
If you don't like the look of the asrock the powercolor is fine for 10 more
I just wondering
But the asrock cards are good tbh
powercolor way smaller tho and I like bigger
powercolor look like a knockoff evga ngl
The powercolor design is lowkey good tho
its nice but when I see it
I just think evga
but I think evga look better at least
nice ftw card
I like that gigabyte as well tho
I used to have one of those but it was a little different let me find it
The eagles are all nice cards
have my ol and trusty 9800gt somewehre in the closet
good times when those were considered good
is my backup plan for my backup plan
the backup of my backup in case my backup cant make a backup
yes
Why won’t it let me add pics
Wow my card is going for $1270 lol
Better be a solid copper heatsink at that price
thoughts?
Yup check out the MSI 4070 Ti Suprim X OC, it’s awesome. On MSI website
Yeah basically all the 4070 tis are overbuilt the crap outta
Anything above msrp tho isn't really worth your time
The msrp is cringe imo but that's a different topic ig
Yes but the further it gets more than msrp the further it becomes terrible deal
Even if its a strix I wouldn't pay over 50$ premium
Literally no point when tuf is msrp and extremely overbuilt
At least you can actually find cards at msrp
Yeah although if you're in the US asrock oc formula 6950xt at 700$ is the deal for a high end gpu
Basically the same performance as the 4070 ti for $100 less yeah
4070ti for msrp sounds better ngl if same price as 6950xt
Not really, still in stock on wegg https://www.newegg.com/asrock-radeon-rx-6950-xt-rx6950xt-ocf-16g/p/N82E16814930073
Some models are gone but that one is still available
Callisto protocol is one, not bad
No games or anything on the 40 series for now
Well the oc formula is one of the best and super cheap
I'd do Intel instead if you're building right now
But if you can wait about 3-4 weeks for 7600X3D and spend a little more on it that would be worthwhile
If it ends up outperforming a 7700x we can kinda guess where it might land
Then I'd go Intel tbh, 12600k + B660 + 3600c16 ddr4
Point noted
You wait for x3d not invest in a placeholder
Even tho 12600k and 13500 both kinda far behind a 7600
Not at anything more than 1080p
Also Pro-A at a minimum for the mid-range tdp parts
Ds3h is still a bit of an undercut for a mobo
Regardless
120$ would be ideal
Get a 13600k instead ez
Intel's winning argument just every time against AM5 will be DDR4
That gap is just too big
12600k new kinda irrelevant with 13400f being cheaper still
I honestly got impressed with zen4 perf after the 4090 came out
Ehhh, for 12th gen yeah but 13th gen even the 13500 suffers about 10% hit on ddr4
Even still, you can get far more cpu bang for the buck going on Intel's side
Yeah but still better cpu for less moneys
Also idk why but 13500 is like meme price everywhere atm
Positive reviews?! Better jack the price!
Ddr4 just won't stop making sense until ddr5 drops further
It's 250$?
You talking 13500? I've only seen it show up for like 400$
I was kinda hoping 13400 would be under 200$
Usd?
Yes
💀
I mean the f is 210 so close enough
$300 rn 13500
Well still the rise is there when compared to predecessors like 10400f and 12400f
Lol still dumb when 13600kf is 8$ more
The $100 5600c36 kits that go on sale every so often are very nice
If you where to upgrade the 10400 id at least grab the 13400f personally for the e cores
Then you get unlocked SA too so you're not stuck at 3466
Yes, but that needs to be commonplace, like the MC deals for free ddr5 with am5
Yeah I agree
Just saying if you can grab one of those kits on sale imo it's fine to pair with a 13400f
Ddr5 in general could come down in price per gb
Also this is US only, decent ddr5 in eu is still redicolous pricing
Shut
2 whole letters, that's a catastrophic mistake
Redicolous?
Ridiculous
Auto correct not picking it up as spelling mistake weird
Maybe it means something else
Weird idk why it thought it was a right spelling
But it didn't even underline with red
AU more like, Artificial Unintelligence
Kek
Nah, just Artificial Dumb 
Maybe it's actually smart and wanted to show ur intelligence to the world
The effects of ur annexing are showing

Says the AU
Ur independence didn't do you any favours either

Hey guys, quick question. I'm basically building up a new comp with components from my old comp. My new machine will have an OS installed on an M.2. But I want to put my old machines HDD (which houses my old OS ) into my new build. Will that cause any conflict?
you should be able to select the m.2 as the boot drive in the bios, but it's probably best to remove the OS from the hdd
How do I easily do that without touching the rest of the stuff on the drive? And is it something I can do once installed into the new build?
I'm not really sure exactly how tbh
you could clone the hdd to the ssd, then wipe it and move stuff back over to it as needed
So my Dram light is orange on my motherboard and I was wondering if it could be due to my electricity in my apartment? It's a bit faulty and sometimes inconsistent so I wanna figure out if that's the problem or if something else isn't right.
Just set the boot order in bios so your nvme is the first option then it will not cause any issues
No, if it boots and the light stays on you can ignore it, if it doesn't boot on the other hand then you gotta start troubleshooting
Yeah it won't boot
It did for a bit then just shut off and then the light came on
I did recently move but I really took good care of my PC while doing so and like I said it did boot and run stuff for at least 20 minutes
Try clear cmos then after you do that if it boots go back into bios and re-enable xmp
?cmos
How to clear CMOS (works for AMD and Intel)
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000025368/processors.html
Can y’all help me troubleshoot something? I’ve got no display when I turn on my pc and the vga light on my motherboard turns on
reseat your gpu, check your gpu cables, and if you have a cpu with integrated graphics on then take out your gpu and test with the igpu
Also try a hdmi cable instead of displayport if a new build. Plus show pic 3 of this:
(Ignore the coarse-hair and crap. Not my pic)
I’ve tested it with the integrated graphics, a rx5700xt and a gtx980 already
I’ll try to get clear pics for you in a sec
Here are the photos, I did my best to get the angles right but it’s kinda hard with my build
I did what the guide said and it did nothing
Try reseating your ram also if you did the battery method, your pc was unplugged form the wall ye?
I didn't do the battery method but it still was yes
Jose, more like this: (until you mentioned trying igpu & such.) Check cpu pwr also.
Wait never mind it did work I just had to restart it again
Now should I have to do anything in the BIOS?
I’ve reconnected everything and it’s all secure; clicked in and all
Try the battery method
Here’s a pic of the socket, there seems to be some debris on the right side but besides that does anything look abnormal?
Just re enable xmp
Wait sorry but how do I do that?
seems ok, if after reseating you cpu and everything plugged correctly the problem persist, then your problem could be the mobo itself D:
Here’s a pic of GPU cables, I can’t get good pics of the other connections but they’re secure
That’d be unfortunate
Reseating the cpu rn
which cpu is?
You enter bios then there should be an option called xmp or if you're on an asus amd board it's called docp
Ok so I'm on an Asus motherboard and it gave me the option for profile 1 or disabled so I'd wanna do profile 1?
Profile 1
i5-10400
And it gives me a notice about FCLK do I need to worry about that?
VGA light remains on, though I get signal to the monitor now
It’s a black screen with light idk how to describe it
@fossil cedar
Nah unless your ram is above 3600mhz xmp
You can keep fclk 1:1 for 3600
yeah no need to put the gpu, just get the hdmi from your mobo directly
just to see if it make it to the post screen
Ok it booted and no issues thus far
Would it be a good idea to just boot stuff up and try to run as normal?
Yeah I don’t even get a signal when connected from the iGPU from bit dp and hdmi. I’m guessing the mobo is the issue?
still red light? yeah probably your mobo is the culprit
Yeah
I’ve got a z40-a pro and the vga light on the top right is still on
Might jus snag a b560 mobo for $100 then if the problem still goes on
Y’all know why it might’ve happened tho? It started yesterday after I turned off my pc because it was taking years to load into windows after signing in from my profile. I tried turning it on again and I got the vga light of death
How is packaging for both the mother oard and aios? Like has anyone gotten a package delivered while it's rained and have the parts still work perfectly fine out of the box?
Motherboard should have a plastic antistatic bag around it that I'd guess would keep it fairly dry
They're not sealed usually from humidity but it would keep it from direct contact from water if the box got wet
Silica gel oxygen absorbers can handle a bit of humidity
@fossil cedar thank you so much for your help! Everything is working now and has been since I restarted.
Great glad to help
do you happen to have an asus tuf b550-plus
I spent a lot of time looking at the orange dram light on that board
No I think it's an Asus x570-Pro
ah
I had an asus tuf b550-plus that was very very finicky about booting
it wouldn't boot xmp without setting manual voltages and termination resistances
and manual ocs were a toss-up between being perfectly stable and needing 15 cmos clears in a row to boot
I was very happy to see that board go
Oh weird this is my first ever issue with mine and I'm just chalking it up to moving
well I hope it remains the only issue you have with it
I'm too scared to buy another asus board for a long time
I can recommend one :)
Lol well thank you and I honestly can't blame you
omg ur right
smh my head
there we go
Hot
fax
imagine having less than 8 dimm slots
Qaud full size pcie slots 😫
honestly this
cringe
not even quad channel
loses to ddr3 in bandwidth
YOUR PLATFORM IS EWASTE
what if 2x ddr5-9000
Yes
Nah its 2x8gb at 3533
3533? why
Cause 3600 wasn't stable on the 3200 sticks

Yea wouldn't boot past bios
Didn't touch them 💀
💀
I am not getting into all of that
try 3733 18-22-22-42
assuming you're on ryzen 3000 or later
I've pulled up random prebuilt mystery meat unknown ICs to that
These are the dims
Yea 5000 series
Lmao is that bad
those sticks are borderline defective if they have to run trcd 20 at 3200
Are they really that bad 💀💀
Anything else I could try?
I mean doesn't hurt to try 3733 18-22-22-42
worst that could happen is need to clear cmos
I've never done actual mem oc lol sooo
Hows this look
Actual ewaste dims lmao made it to windows and lasted 30secs
@leaden mauve
do you know what ICs they are?
probably not c-die with those primaries
try giving it 1.38V
1.38V should be safe on any IC that has a 1.35V xmp profile
They won't be anything amazing
Do you know what die they are or should I check rq
You could probably post a pick of the dimms and we might get an idea from the traces but really delidding would be the best way to know
Cpu-z would give you a manufacturer, typhoon burner would maybe give an accurate die
i think thaiphoon no longer works on windows 11
i've never had it work on any machine running 11
might be a secure boot thing
dunno
@paper summit you cloned your os?
Nah I don't have anything important tho
Ah ok so fresh install later then
Even if I did yesterday?
gigachads ram oc on daily os
Real
Mhm cos running on an OS with a degree of ram corruption can gimp performance a bit
<Done it before when I was dumber
?
YOU DELIDDED??
YEA

Ehhh
It's fineeee
I used a card to shim in between
LMAOO
OMG
I've had a long day sorry I absolutely didn't mean to delid
Holy hell
Well then
Now that I can see it 
That appears to be a samsung pcb
And you tried which frequencies?
@paper summit rq
Can you show me that in focus
It just looks like solder pads but just in case I wanna check for you
Solder pads it looks like
Hold on don't panic I think it's ok
It doesn't look ripped lol
You're right it doesn't
It's likely ok
Want me to pop it in and see
Yea 💀
I owe you a beer jfc
They would still find their way to your address one way or another 

Ok pop the heatsink back on if you can
If not well, 1.35V isn't a gross voltage for naked
And you can fix again with thermal tape iirc
Kk
wow
Or open window
LMAOOO
prob colder there than here lol
I was curious
it might be a samsung bin reject if the die is blank
Yeah I'm thinking C if not high freq
i have hynix bin rejects where the ICs themselves are rebranded to timetec, the company that buys the hynix bin rejects
16-20-20-40 definitely sounds like a bin reject
It's def a samsung pcb
Or hell even reject b does crap freq
But the transistor layout is different so doubtful
i'm more concerned about the trcd 20 at 3200
I'd go looking up the other dies but tired as hecc rn
still sitting here in utter disbelief that he actually delidded just for this lol
I don't think C is the only one that is pretty lamo iirc
It's on enough for now
IMAGINE MY PANIC
Sorta
Shhh
danny officially gone deeper than I have into the world of ram
I've never willingly delidded

my ram is delidded but i didn't do the delidding
Atleast there cheap dims
Oh we get that
But that's still what $50
Yea

There working rn
I think the fact you were playing around bios with them helped a lot btw
Would've warmed up the glue so it was easier

You should google "Failed ram delid" to see what that looks like
Usually you use a heat gun
On good enough
ive definitely seen a chip or two come off with the heatspreaders
I was running a game before so they were a lil warm
But I also have the fan pointed at them
🤷♂️ atleast they didn't die
The expected outcome
Oh noo
That's why I spend the card between the pad
I mean messed it up lol but I'll get new ones
spot the difference
You'll want thermal tape to reattach methinks or just run naked
Okk
Thank god it didn't break LMFAO
I cant even tell how warm there running cause they have no temp sensor
i got battery power working on my backup build
Would a small amount of non-conductive thermal paste in the processor pins cause a boot loop??
I cleaned it off, careful not to bend pins, and it just is stuck. CPU and dram lights are on
I feel like an idiot. How do I get this in here?
The radiator doesn't wanna fit
It's 360 which is enough clearance
4000d case. Arctic liquid freezer 2 360
I'm guessing "smashing it with a hammer" isn't a viable technique?
The psu cage doesn't come out?
pro tip: test everything out of case anyways. I'll post my 12400 setup in a bit. 
Hmmm.
Maybe
I should do that.
I'm waiting to transfer parts from this computer over to the new one
I can't seem to remove it. No
Take off fans and a supposed antidust panel in the front perhaps. Might have to remove hdd cage also for moment. It supposedly fits though.
ok i got my pc case
tomorrow i get my aio
and then my mobo
im so excited i havnt taken my pc case out cause its a white case and im not tryna get it dirty
hey yall i just got my pc well its not new but i got a new one and i wana know if these download speeds are good
idk if this the right place but to late
Pretend kinda like you're gonna mount it up top from the inside, then rotate it in. That top lip that is blocking the radiator will then not become a problem
You need to take off the front dust filter, middle fan, and bottom fan. Then put the radiator in, and attach the bottom fan and then the middle fan.
Liquid freezer is extra thick and long so a little bit of clearance issues like this can happen.
Side effect on this case is the front dust filter won't be usable due to radiator thickness.
You sure it can't be geometry'ed in without removing that stuff
Looks like it could be
No the basement shroud blocks it if the fan is attached
Ah ok
I had the same issue on my meshify c, just a minor inconvenience really.
Plus in order to reattach the bottom fan the middle fan needs to be out of the way
By the front dust filter
You mean ole boy here right ?
same case such a w
You already have the dust filter removed in that pic
It's the mesh screen
It may or may not fit back in after installation, give it a try if you want
Ah okay. Okay cool. I just need to remove some fans and have fun re screwing em in
Thank you by the way!
You'll love that liquid cooler once it's in and you don't need to touch it. Super silent even at 100%.
What about cold weather? I live in Kentucky and the weather hasn't changed its mainly been lots of rain and cold weather. I'm mainly going to keep an eye out for when everything delivers and just head home on my lunch
But I just want to make sure before then so if I have to I can just ask to see of I can leave for a sec to go get it off the porch and inside if noone in my house can get it
Nah cold is fine. These things survive having liquid nitrogen poured on them, a little cold won't hurt.
Ok
So I got a b450 mobo the box says it’s athlon, 2nd gen Ryzen and 3000s series compatible. I put a Ryzen 7 3700x the system doesn’t boot it does a single spin on the cpu cooler and then stops and just leaves the rgb on
The cpu is brand new from RMA, the Ram and psu were from a previous system that worked
Maybe an outdated bios
The only thing I can imagine it being is a dead/faulty motherboard or maybe some pcie pins that are messing with it? The cpu cooler is new too
Compatible =/= ready
Does it have a bios flashback button?
Any debug lights?
Not too sure but I think there isn’t any
It'll be usually in top right corner
A red, orange, white, green, etc
Lemme look up your board tho
Yeah there isn’t any
Yeah I don't see any on pics
Any way to check bios version before borrowing a cpu from my local shop
They charge 30$ 😅
Part List - AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, Cooler Master MasterBox NR200P Mini ITX Desktop
This is the build btw well kinda ig I accidentally clicked the 3070ti it’s just a regular 3070
Whats a good pc build for 1.3k
Hi
I wanna know it’s worth it to buy 4k monitor for gaming or 2k with 144h in enough?
USA?
Depends on your GPU and how big you want it to be
Yes
Do you need any extras like wifi?
Is Nividia 3070Ti
Yes
2k for sure then
But my question is worth it if I upgrade my gpu the buy 4k monitor?
Maybe bluetooth too and vr capable
imo no it's not worth spending thousands of dollars to upgrade to a decent 4k monitor and gpu
If you were already planning on getting a 4080, 4090, or 7900XTX maybe
Would you be ok with a used gpu? You can get a better one that way
Yeah
More progress @elfin flame
I suppose anyone will say just open the spare G+ 650w to hurry up & test the build, lol
So I looked it up and it says my motherboarday fail to boot up with a 5000 series cpu. Do you guys think I'd have to update the bios on the asus prime b550 plus mobo?
Possibly
What bios version is it on? It usually says on the box what it came from the factory with

Link to the 3080 is there if you click it

Yea, haha. This g+ is B tier & no passive fan I think, but wild w/ 4 single 6+2 cables so no ugly pigtails. 
I can't tell you for sure what version it's on yet cause I don't have it. But I'll have it in the next few days
Ok, well once you have it the bios version you need it on depends on which CPU you got. 5000X (ex 5600X) you need v1004, 5000 non-X (ex 5600) you need v2423. It usually says on the box near the barcodes.
5800X3D also needs 2423
That board doesn't appear to have any kind of flashback so if the bios version isn't at the minimum compatible version you'll need an older cpu to flash it.
Don't have the gpu on this yet, lol. Rommy it booted at least. Hopefully the bcf isn't too snug or somethin, I mean because I enable xmp then it doesn't boot. Ignore the single dimm for a moment. -- hit 24c, fanless 
Uh oh, a whole 24C. Better blow over those fins or it'll overheat!
Also if you're doing single stick you want it in channel B
Yep, just tried to see of b2 slot/dimm was funky. They're fine, but now I can't enable xmp. Bios is 15 months old so idk. Too late for much tonight. -- Edit: cleared cmos then got xmp, manually hit 3200/1.35v. Definitely updating bios after work.
That's also a beta/canned bios that's not directly downloadable
A few updates after that there's improvements to non-k CPUs and then DDR support so an update would likely help
Looks like you can go straight to F21 without any stepping stone versions
Hello all once again I am asking for help, I have my windows install on a hard drive currently and I want to move it to my ssd but i also want to wipe the hard drive, I'm building a new pc with the same storage so my thoughts were to wipe the ssd install it to the new pc then install windows from a flash drive, get the pc up and running, then install the hdd and wipe it on the new pc or would the 2 installs of windows clash? Or do I completely wipe it right now while it's still running on my old pc? I do not care for what's on the drives
You can choose which drive to boot OS from in the bios
I really want more power supplies to not have daisy chained pcie power just for aesthetics alone
instead of having to tie the useless daisy chains to the primary cable
this is in the build I just did
looks wack
Guys, is there any widely-known reason as to why true 4K Ultrawide Monitors seem to not exist?
I mean can we cut them off
probably too niche with current hardware
few people want to take even more of a performance hit than 4K
1440p uw is already heavy af too
1440p UW is less demanding than 4K
but 4K UW?
you'd have to buy the 90 class card every gen to try to hit 60 fps
12gb vram wouldn't cut it, dunno about 16gb
4K is already relatively niche
Yeah 1440p uw is just under 5mil pixels, regular 4k is already 8.3mil pixels, 4k uw would be like 10.9 mil pixels
I refuse to play games at anything less than 4k UW 240hz
Games look terrible otherwise obviously
hey what do you think of my wood build
i got battery working
the stupidest fix resolved the issue
Honestly, that’s most likely it. That’s too bad though; I’d definitely shell out the big bucks for a QD-OLED 4K Super Ultrawide
the fuse was either blown or too weak
Can’t imagine what that would look like
it was honestly anticlimactic as heck
This is what pcpartpicker tells me so I'd assume that I can just update the bios but idk the process to that. Do I boot up the pc get it all sorted out with windows and what not then update the bios?
Or would I need to update the bios.first
Cause if that's the case I'll have to get a new drive and get the update on there
Nope if the bios is not supported out of the box it will not boot
That's why you need a board with bios flashback or an older cpu
The only cpu that I have is an 11th gen intel cpu
That wouldn't work gor that board tho right?
No
I mean it says it's ready for ryzen 5000 series so ig I just gotta hope that it comes in a version that it can run on
Have you already bought the board? Because you can just get a board with flashback and not have to gamble
5800x3d was released well after many other of the 5000 series
If you haven't bought the board yet, msi b550m vc wifi is 110$ rn and has flashback
I've bought the board already. I was told it was a viable option for the 5800x3d but I wasn't told it didn't have flashback. So I'll just have to gamble or see what I can do about returning it and getting one that does
guys
whats the best pc u can get for 1200 atm
gaming, school work
1440p

im in lithuania
but u can give me the prices in american
the most popular
is skytech.lt
i can get gpu from usa
That's really obnoxious too. Cause I already had to wait like a month
To refund the other mobo I ordered.
its not necessary
Is there even a small chance that the motherboard would be on the right version?
I mean if I can save myself the hassle I'd like to stick with the board I bought cause I'm already kinda tired of waiting especially since the mobo is literally the only thing I need.
The motherboard should be here by like tomorrow or by the 27th so if I have to return it I can try but idk
It's coming from newegg like the rest of my parts did if that helps with any info needed
OK so I'd have to wait then to see
I'll just have to pray that I get it in the right version
Go to the first version that supports 5th gen? I thought it was 7th gen or is it like in a range between the 5th and whatever gen?
First version gor 5th Is 1804
Hey guys..so. I went to install my m.2 on my new mobo. And realized this piece just came out and isn’t attached to the board. What can I do?
OK so then my answer to what you said is that the first version would be 1804 its the first one I saw going from top to bottom on the list
Check if there's a screw for it in the mobo box, usually in a little baggie
For the silver one that’s supposed to be seated into the mobo?
It just comes off
Idk if there’s a way to safely secure it or not
You see the top end with a hole? There's supposed to be a screw to let you screw it in
The rest are secured onto the mobo
Can't really tell what's going on with. The bottom end
Oh ya. I’ve got that
You might be able to unscrew the silver bit
That silver piece is what I’m saying is supposed to be secured into the mobo
But just was loose when I got it
Silver bit should've been screwed into Mobo but looks to be screwed into the heatsink for some reason
Ok I'll make sure to remember this
Remove it from the heatsink and see if you can screw that into the Mobo separately
Yea it's supposed to be in there but uh
It's just there to secure it
You can use glue if you really wanted to
Would that be damaging to the board?
That bit does not have any electrical connections, it's just there to hold things in
Ok cool. I can do that. This build is turning into a big ole cluster
Thats freaking cool
You can close it up too to make a haunted house.
what would a good set of cables for a small form factor pc
Cablemod
Guys I need help building a pc from scratch that can run on 60 steady frames on like fortnite/warzone/valorant etc and can edit videos from time to time I got no monitor no nothing I got 600JOD/800 USD without accounting shipping
Well…
I used a dot of superglue on that spot
And we’ll
It got everywhere…
And I tried to clean it with iso..and it made it worse
Am I boned
This is the reason I'm still questioning whether I should get a pc or no
It’s been a bad day
No just messy
Jod? If you can send some links to your local places you can buy parts you might have a better budget
It should be fine?
Ye you'll be fine
Its overpriced af,I'll send link 1 sec
Navigate from there
It's a mazeeee
I see what you mean yeah, is it any particular sites you will be ordering from in the US then?
New egg+amazon ig... shipping and its fees and convincing my parents to pay online will be the biggest problem
Idk how safe both are
Very
Like I'm scared I grt scammed from a used or broken part
Amazon and Newegg are reliable and will say open box or something if they are used
@bold stone you need wifi or Bluetooth?
Wdym
Do you want the pc to have wifi or Bluetooth
Never knew you could remove those btw
They don't come by default on all boards
Pato is built different

Britain part 2
60$ is cheap for a case
Also compapility issues
Irrelevant
Wouldn't it better to cheap out on thd case
Since I got a mouse and keyboard and monitor
To buy
There really isn't any cheaper
Oh i thought you meant 800 for the pc one sec
Any cheaper and you get something with terrible airflow and/or molex fans
Btw don't go like 40 dollars on a mouse and keyboard
There's decent cheap cases but not below about $60 usd
Maybe 20 each
Trust me you don't want a 20$ mouse, more like 30$ mouse 10$ keeb any day
I'd even take a $38 mouse and a $2 keyboard from goodwill
Aight ig
