yes

[glass swift]

The great naed speaks!

[pastel briar]

@mellow basalt First warning can faff off
second warning is useless for the most part
third warning, please refer to picture @foggy hazel posted
4th warning is just the sites FYI we don't have all the data and don't know this poop

[glass swift]

Thanks for helping me with my build the other day, @foggy hazel

[sudden turret]

don't praise him to hard, it gives him a complex

[foggy hazel]

@glass swift you are very welcome :)

well, at least i dont burst out of my box at random times

[glass swift]

now help me put a Titan into this thing

[mellow basalt]

I just love how @sudden turret comes out of nowhere 🤣🤣🤣

[sudden turret]

lol

I gotta watch everything 😦

[pastel briar]

@glass swift ill grab the hammer 😄

[sudden turret]

box cutter is more efficient

I'll see myself out.

until next time Naed.

NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXT TIMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

[foggy hazel]

i think ms box will be unhappy about that Box

[pastel briar]

you want efficient we will just grab the power saw...

[sudden turret]

you don't want to mess with mrs. box

[foggy hazel]

i know!

[glass swift]

M249 SAW*

[mellow basalt]

Dang it I have to buy a new screwdriver @foggy hazel what type of screwdriver do you use?

[foggy hazel]

whatever is available

[glass swift]

Interchangeable bit, magnetic

[foggy hazel]

no

at least not for me

all fixed head ones

[sudden turret]

do you magnetize all your screw drivers Naed?

[foggy hazel]

i have a set that come magnetized

[sudden turret]

ah

[foggy hazel]

and a set that dont

well

multiple sets of each really

[mellow basalt]

Multi-Bit screwdriver?

[foggy hazel]

okay, its just a pile

[sudden turret]

I always just take my strongest fridge magnet and give it a few rubs.

[foggy hazel]

but its my pile of tools

[sudden turret]

Ive got shaky hands.

so it helps

damn those little screws.

[foggy hazel]

i can imagine

[sudden turret]

especially laptop screws.

😠

[foggy hazel]

its just that sometimes its practical to NOT have magnetized ones for audio stuff

[mellow basalt]

Sorry that song has been stuck in my mind all day

[sudden turret]

lol.

[foggy hazel]

especially when an engineer has forgotten to label a rack unit with "spools inside"

[mellow basalt]

That’s how I feel cause i never built a pc

[sudden turret]

never?

[mellow basalt]

Never

That’s why I was asking Naed for the parts 😂

[pastel briar]

never say never because never is never gonna happen 😄

[mellow basalt]

@foggy hazel can I ship the parts to you and have you do it for me? 🤣🤣🤣

[foggy hazel]

nope

[mellow basalt]

Wowwww

@sudden turret can you do it for me?

[foggy hazel]

you are way better off finding someone locally

beause shipping to me will be bonkers

and my rates are not low

[buoyant flame]

Lol

[sudden turret]

nah

i'd just steal your stuff

if we're being honest.

[mellow basalt]

Well that helps 🤣

[sudden turret]

You can do it yourself

[mellow basalt]

How did y’all learn how to build your pc?

[sudden turret]

Have Ye Some Faith

Trial and lots of error

[mellow basalt]

No tutorials?

[sudden turret]

nope

[foggy hazel]

@mellow basalt read the manual

[sudden turret]

hands on

[foggy hazel]

take your time and dont rush

[mellow basalt]

No online guide?

[sudden turret]

back when the internet was small

[foggy hazel]

online was not an option for me

[sudden turret]

ribbon cables ftw 😄

[foggy hazel]

it was before we really had access to that for consumers :)

[sudden turret]

master/slave pins

WE ARE WHAT

I think naed is older.

[foggy hazel]

i am quite happy we dont have that anymore Box

[pastel briar]

@mellow basalt there are great videos on how to build a PC, and worst case I could even hop on video call and guide you through the process, but we want to help you learn and gain knowledge too 🙂

[sudden turret]

same.

[mellow basalt]

I love how you assumed I was calling you two old

[pastel briar]

IDE cables, Molex and SCSI.....

[foggy hazel]

that tells you that Box is the younger of us @mellow basalt

[mellow basalt]

I wasn’t but you assumed

[pastel briar]

I remember the annoying jumpers

[foggy hazel]

he is still young enough to worry about things like that :D

[mellow basalt]

@foggy hazel me and you?

[foggy hazel]

of box and myself

[sudden turret]

oh man SCSI

[pastel briar]

PUNCH CARDS!

[sudden turret]

SCUZZZZZZZZZY

lolol

that brought back memories

[pastel briar]

don't make me get out the punch cards 😄

[sudden turret]

thanks for that

lol

Naed is probably Gramps.

[mellow basalt]

So I’m gonna assume since you 3 are techies that you three know how to program?

[sudden turret]

and I probably have more grey hair than him.

[foggy hazel]

not really

[sudden turret]

techie doesn't specifically mean programming

[foggy hazel]

not by my metric of what a programmer can do

[sudden turret]

we just know a thing or two, about a thing or two.

[pastel briar]

@sudden turret I don't know if this is scary or not, but at work I am the only person who knows anything about dealing with SCSI, IDE, Jumpers, Molex and even the punch cards......

@mellow basalt there are 10 types of people who can speak binary, those who can, and those who can't :D, as for techie that can denote any form, ranging from programming to hardware and anything else related

[mellow basalt]

Sorry I was in like 2 discord’s and everyone with the title techie was amazing at programming

Sorry for assuming 😅

[sudden turret]

If we had anything like that, we would have a Programmers role

[pastel briar]

lol its all good, I can program, but I am more into the hardware side of things

[celest horizon]

Lol, we're in a lot of the same tech servers

[sudden turret]

@lime forge is our coder.

[lime forge]

what

[celest horizon]

Another discord I won't name has a "techie exam"

[stoic island]

Zack write the code

[mellow basalt]

Every mod is in here 🤣

[foggy hazel]

nah, he is just the professional garbler @sudden turret

[stoic island]

linds amx theo fatal

[little leaf]

The 1200 socket will work with 115x coolers right

[stoic island]

need them in here now

Yes, according to noctua

[mellow basalt]

@celest horizon I was just in “that” discord server 🤣

[pastel briar]

which server was that? sounds oddly familiar

[buoyant flame]

Asking for a friend ofc

[mellow basalt]

We don’t speak of that servers existence. 🤫

Ok wait can’t you just Cheat on that servers exam?

[pastel briar]

I see, well the annoying thing is, in "that server" I passed the techie exam and still never got Techie, and was told "we decided to fail you and not give you the role"...like wth really?

I don't cheat I just provide facts 😄

[mellow basalt]

I have a iPad next to me can’t I just look the answers up? 🤣

[pastel briar]

oh and I just purchased another server.....again and I am about to get #3....I fell down the rabbit hole 😄

[mellow basalt]

I think they need a better way to see if someone is worth techie+

[celest horizon]

You're allowed to google during it

[mellow basalt]

Really?

I have never built a pc or anything so I don’t know much I’m gonna take that exam 🤣

[foggy hazel]

knowing your tech should NEVER just be "having a good memory"

[pastel briar]

i think its more of a "can you accurately provide correct information and not lead people wrong" type thing

@foggy hazel I never claimed I had a good memory, I mean my name should say it all.... 😄

[stoic island]

Half of programming is using stackoverflow

[foggy hazel]

read again.

[pastel briar]

i know, i was joking

[mellow basalt]

@foggy hazel I think I forgot to ask you what monitor do you recommend?

I think I asked it 🤔

[foggy hazel]

@mellow basalt

[mellow basalt]

I wasn’t talking about those 2 monitors

[foggy hazel]

i dont really have much of a good suggestion at that budget

its whatever is reasonably priced

[modest kraken]

What is a good motherboard for like $85 that works with amd processors

[stoic island]

Can I ask why your mobo budget is 85$?

[foggy hazel]

@modest kraken what you already have via suggestions you have gotten from me?

[modest kraken]

Everything but the case, motherboard, and SSd bc I am picking it up from a microcenter near me

[mellow basalt]

I feel like I’m forgetting something 🤔

[modest kraken]

But I want to get a better motherboard

[stoic island]

if you forgot, it probably wasnt important xD

[mellow basalt]

@stoic island it was super important 😂

[stoic island]

memez

[mellow basalt]

Naed gave me all the pc parts and monitor that doesn’t go over $1400

I have my mouse and headset

Ohhhh KEYBOARD

[stoic island]

neat

lol

[mellow basalt]

That’s what I forgot 🤣🤣🤣

[sudden turret]

lol

[mellow basalt]

I forgot what keyboard I picked 🤦

[granite imp]

I have a question

First time builder

Just upgraded my cpu cooler from the stock amd cooler to a coolermaster

It comes with one fan, but I can swap it to either side of the heat sink

All of the pics show it facing the ram on my motherboard

But wouldn’t the fan be better on the opposite side of the heat sink, blowing directly at my rear exhaust fan?

[foggy hazel]

@granite imp it is most likely pulling air in through itself and expelling it out over the heatsink

[stoic island]

that might force the air to flow above the heatsink and lead to less airflow at vrms and such

[balmy sky]

Ok, so I'm a first time builder and I wondered if I could have some insight from people more experienced than I.

[pastel briar]

yes

[balmy sky]

My build is an NZXT h510 case and a Corsair RN 750 80+ gold certified

For CPU it’s an 9900k

RTX 2070 Super for GPU

Only one tb of ssd but subject to change

32gb of RAM

Liquid AIO

[little leaf]

@balmy sky why would you get a 9900k with only a 2070super?

[balmy sky]

I know I should probably go for a 2080ti or something similar for a 9900K

[little leaf]

no like if you want it for the same price you could go with amd

or if you can wait a little you can wait for intel 10th gen

if you went amd you could get a 2080 super

[pastel briar]

go AMD if you haven't bought any parts yet, you get upgrade paths, and more options and longer support cycles

[balmy sky]

True, but is there much a difference from the 10600(I think this is the i9)

Ok

[upper condor]

Not sure if this is where id put this, im looking to buy a router but am not sure how they work so could someone help

[balmy sky]

In what way is AMD better?

[little leaf]

better for workloads

more cores more threads

better upgrade paths for the future

pcie gen 4

better achertecture

cheaper

more bang for the buck

[balmy sky]

Architecture, sorry out of habit

[pastel briar]

unlike Intel where you have to buy a new board when you want to upgrade the CPU (and that includes RAM also) with AMD you can keep your existing board and RAM and upgrade your CPU, then down the road when you feel like it decide on upgrading yoru RAM and/or board

[little leaf]

ye Ik just typing pretty fast

[balmy sky]

thank you I will go for AMD instead.

[little leaf]

whats your budget?

[balmy sky]

2ish

[little leaf]

2k?

[balmy sky]

Yes, there is some wiggle room.

[glass ferry]

MSI - Aegis R Gaming Desktop - Intel Core i7 - 9700 - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 - 1TB SSD - Black someone please tell me how much this is worth I want to buy a prebuild from bestbuy and I want to see if the prices match up or if it’s just not a good idea

[little leaf]

don't buy that

[glass ferry]

Why not?

[fast dust]

prebuilt bad

[little leaf]

if its priced at anywhere about 1350ish then don't

you could get i79700k with 2070 super for 1400

or atleast I did

[glass ferry]

I want to build my pc but I don’t know where to start like part wise but every part has to be from bestbuy, can someone help me?

[foggy hazel]

@little leaf keep in mind, prices from before Covid are not exactly good comparison points "now"

[little leaf]

ye

[balmy sky]

what budget

[little leaf]

but there are still reasonably priced parts

[balmy sky]

Out of curiosity

[fast dust]

Why does every part have to be from bestbuy?

[little leaf]

it doesn't

[foggy hazel]

@little osprey you here for me?

[glass ferry]

Like $1000 and $1200 and I have to pay for the parts monthly, I can’t buy them all in one

[little osprey]

Yeah! I’ll brb

[glass ferry]

I would make monthly payments

[sudden turret]

@foggy hazel @little osprey https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/nPynrV

( added the 2060KO)

[foggy hazel]

aye, noted, thank you :)

[sudden turret]

brings it to 1412cad

[foggy hazel]

confirmed on my end

[sudden turret]

that's with the mobo she wants

I think

[foggy hazel]

noted

[cold sorrel]

I thought I saw people saying the 2060 KO was a terrible buy.

[sudden turret]

depends on your use for it

[foggy hazel]

@glass ferry dont, just dont buy monthly. Save up the money. And then buy

@glass ferry it is very inconvenient to try and pay rent with a pc part

[sudden turret]

lol

I'll gladly pay you tomorrow, for a pc part today

[little leaf]

I would too

[sudden turret]

also naed they are being gifted a 1tb drive to go in it aswell

[balmy sky]

I just had a rude awakening

[foggy hazel]

hdd or ssd?

[sudden turret]

hdd I think

[mellow basalt]

What’s up with everyone picking the cougar case?

Is that case popular rn or something?

[little leaf]

@balmy sky what?

[sudden turret]

I think I picked that, and they are going back to the other case they picked

[little osprey]

Hey mates, so I have a question. I’m working on my first PC and I’m using a Asus Prime x-570-p motherboard. I got the suggestion to use two m.2 Nvme drives. One 128gb one for os, and a 1 terabyte one games, rendering times and school work, and then a one terabyte hdd my friend is giving me for free for files and some school work. But this is where things get tricky, if I use two M.2 drives will it disable two ports? If so does that only mean I’m aloud to have one extra ssd and one extra hdd?

[foggy hazel]

no

[mellow basalt]

Cause like 5 builds people gave me had the cougar case

[foggy hazel]

that is the answer @little osprey

[sudden turret]

cougar makes decent cases though

[mellow basalt]

It has to be popular rn or something?

[sudden turret]

I got one off newegg for 12 bucks, and I was insanely surprised how well made it was

[little osprey]

Wait, what does the case have to do with having two m.2 drives though?

[balmy sky]

I got a LGA 1151 mobo

[sudden turret]

just a seperate conversation 🙂

[foggy hazel]

@little osprey they are not talking about anything you need to worry about now :)

[balmy sky]

That was my rude awakening

[little osprey]

Oh lol

[mellow basalt]

@little osprey don’t worry about the case

[little leaf]

@balmy sky have you opened it?

[little osprey]

Am I only aloud one m.2 drive for my motherboard?

Like in the photo

[foggy hazel]

@little osprey you can use all the storage ports on that mainboard at the same time.

[mellow basalt]

@sudden turret which case is that?

[sudden turret]

oh man I can't remember, it was a long time ago

[little leaf]

@balmy sky also where did you buy it fromg

[balmy sky]

No, it hasn't been shipped, but it's basically in transit.

I got it off of newegg

[little leaf]

ok then you can return it

[balmy sky]

Ok

[little leaf]

if it isn't opened

[balmy sky]

Right

[granite imp]

Wait, so should my cpu cooler fan be on the ram side of the cpu, and blow air towards the heat sink? I have my on the side facing the rear of my case, and pulling air from the heat sink, and pushing it towards the exhaust fan

[mellow basalt]

I just love how the price for one of my parts keep increasing

[little leaf]

but if you don't want to ship it back you cna just use intel I guess

[foggy hazel]

@balmy sky talk with @fresh garden about it

[little osprey]

Idk what that necessarily means though lol. Like, if I use two m.2 drives won’t it take up two slots and then I’ll only be able to have two additional means of storage?

[balmy sky]

Ok

Thanks

[foggy hazel]

@little osprey no

[sudden turret]

@mellow basalt

[little osprey]

I’ll eventually get another 250-500 gb ssd

[mellow basalt]

That’s actually pretty cool @sudden turret

[sudden turret]

best 12 bucks I've spent on a case

[mellow basalt]

I’m gonna look for that

[sudden turret]

you wont find it for that

[little osprey]

Damn $12

[sudden turret]

Cougar Case SOLUTIONRSB400

[mellow basalt]

I need a window for my case though cause I’m gonna spend a long time trying to cable manage to make everything look good

[balmy sky]

How big a difference between the Ryzen 9 and i9 (both 9th gen)

[foggy hazel]

@little osprey " you can use all the storage ports on that mainboard at the same time." <- that means that you can use both m.2 ports and all 6 sata ports, at the same time. it all works. nothing gets disabled

[sudden turret]

was when newegg has neweggFLASH deals

[foggy hazel]

@little osprey did that explain it?

[mellow basalt]

@sudden turret I have to wait for the price to go back down 🤣

[little osprey]

Yeah, thank you! My board does come with two m.2 slots right? Just making sure

[foggy hazel]

@little osprey yes it does.

[balmy sky]

How big a difference between the Ryzen 9 and i9 (both 9th gen)

[mellow basalt]

Naed are you Scottish?

[foggy hazel]

@little osprey a question for you: Why the 128gig drive?

@mellow basalt nah

[mellow basalt]

Cause naed in Scottish means no

[sullen spoke]

3rd gen ryzen 9 is considerably better than 9th gen i9

gaming is the only thing intel wins in by a small margin

[craggy frost]

Got a build/compatibility question: looking at a Asus Strix B450-F board for a new build, but all the RAM I'm looking at isn't on the QVL (Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 3200, for example), even if it's DDR, Unbuffered, Non-ECC like is listed on the board's support page. Their QVL seems to be quite limited/possibly out of date or incomplete. Is this compatible? Should I take the chance?

[mellow basalt]

Oh yea your name is an acronym I forgot about that company naed 😅

[balmy sky]

Ok thanks for the insight.

[foggy hazel]

@craggy frost its a fairly safe bet

[craggy frost]

Also, going with a 3700x

[foggy hazel]

that depends on the specific bios, but also, fairly safe bet by now

[little osprey]

It’s a nice board that will last me awhile, and I’ll eventually be able to add more to it. I was originally gonna go with the tomahawk b450 board. But with the x570 I don’t have to do any updating like I would have to do with b450 boards. My friend got one of those and it didn’t work so he had to take it to a computer shop so they could update it and that’s out of my comfort zone to deal with

Plus with the pandemic I can’t get it updates if I need to

[mellow basalt]

It should end by may 12th

[little osprey]

But my board does comes with two m.2 slots right? Oh, and the 128 gb means it has that much storage or used that much?

*uses

[craggy frost]

I downloaded the latest QVL, it only lists 31 models of RAM in 3200, which makes me think it's not up to date. Also, the 3000 is listed 😳

[foggy hazel]

@little osprey yes, it comes with 2 m.2 slots

@little osprey you are not answering the question

[mellow basalt]

@little osprey

[foggy hazel]

@mellow basalt i dont need a echo.

[mellow basalt]

Dang it naed beat me to it

When did you type that?

[foggy hazel]

@craggy frost read what i said above.

[mellow basalt]

I didn’t even see it my bad

[little osprey]

Oh thanks

Sorry

[foggy hazel]

nothing to be sorry about.

but i will ask again.

Why the 128 gig drive @little osprey ?

[little osprey]

I answered it above

[foggy hazel]

no, you asked a question :)

[craggy frost]

👍 thanks. I figured it would probably work, but always nice to get confirmation

[mellow basalt]

Yea you asked a question

[foggy hazel]

@craggy frost you are very welcome

@mellow basalt please stop echoing :)

[little osprey]

Scroll up a few messages

[mellow basalt]

My bad Naed

[foggy hazel]

@little osprey hm, unless discord is playing tricks. I dont see a answer: But, the reason i ask is this:

its a bad investment

simple as that

it is too small a drive to be actually useful for you (unless you want to micromanage a bunch of things)

[little osprey]

Oh weird.... I’ll copy and paste it. It’s a nice board that will last me awhile, and I’ll eventually be able to add more to it. I was originally gonna go with the tomahawk b450 board. But with the x570 I don’t have to do any updating like I would have to do with b450 boards. My friend got one of those and it didn’t work so he had to take it to a computer shop so they could update it and that’s out of my comfort zone to deal with. Plus with the pandemic I can’t get it updates if I need to

[noble ravine]

can a i7 9750 gtx1660ti laptop run any game on medium setting?

[foggy hazel]

@little osprey yes, thats the answer for the board. and that is fine and all.

[little osprey]

Oh, do you have a better motherboard you recommend?

[foggy hazel]

and i see that one

i am not talking about your mainboard.

[little osprey]

Oh

[noble ravine]

i see yall are quite busy. ill ask again later<3

[foggy hazel]

i am only talking about your storage selections right now @little osprey

[little osprey]

Oh kk, I’ll answer

So basically, I was gonna go with a one terabyte Nvme for os,games,blender (my main stuff) and then a one terabyte hard drive for files, and a 250 gb ssd for school work. But, if my os fails it’ll take everything with it. So I if I have a separate and small m.2 drive it will mainly just be for os.. What would you recommend me get?

For storage

[foggy hazel]

Box mentioned that you are getting a drive for free? or was that a misunderstanding?

[little osprey]

Yes, I was gonna get a 2 terabyte hdd, but I know someone who is gonna give me a 1 terabyte one so I didn’t think it was worth it. I’m mostly just trying to focus on what ssd and m.2 ssd’s I should get

[pastel briar]

@foggy hazel he also mentioned that yesterday as well *the free drive)

[mellow basalt]

Free drive?

[foggy hazel]

aye, and i am trying to understand your immediate future, so i can better advice you @little osprey

[little osprey]

Like what I need the space for?

Sorry I don’t want to be a pain to you mates, just trying to figure out my best options

[foggy hazel]

more if there was a reason that made logical sense for the 128gig drive

you are not a pain

[little osprey]

That’s only for the os

[shadow mango]

So for a cooling kit what is some if the best with rgb

PHORCYS PRO CA240, a full Water Cooling Kit,

[little osprey]

So if it fails it won’t damage anything else

[shadow mango]

I found this one in newegg

[foggy hazel]

@shadow mango please ask in #old-cooling

[shadow mango]

Ahh okay

[mellow basalt]

@pastel briar what drive?

[foggy hazel]

@little osprey you could go with what people used to do, which is partitioning the drive (meaning, splitting the drive into different sized parts with different drive letters for the OS to use)

and yes, that would not save you IF the drive itself exploded

[pastel briar]

@mellow basalt I was referring to something someone yesterday was talking about, when I was helping them with answering questions about there HDD, SSD and M.2 drive selection(s)

[little osprey]

Oh, what does your setup look like @foggy hazel

[mellow basalt]

@pastel briar ohhh gotcha

[little osprey]

Do you have your os on a m.2?

Or separate?

[foggy hazel]

@little osprey but, it would allow a reinstall of the OS without touching anything else on that part of a drive

let me just grab a shot of it @little osprey

[pastel briar]

me? I got my OS on one M.2, and my games on another M.2 @little osprey

[little osprey]

Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking of doing. How many gb is the one you have your os on?

And games?

Kk

[foggy hazel]

that is one of the drives in this particular machine @little osprey

@pastel briar please keep answers short and to the point.

[little osprey]

That looks somewhat complicated, idk how I would go about splitting my drive

[pastel briar]

currently games are on the 500GB m.2 and the OS is on the 1TB M.2 (for some reason windows decided to be a Computer User non Technical (I will let you figure out the true meaning) and reverse the two during install...)

[little osprey]

Doesn’t it make more sense to have your games on the 1 terabyte one? More space for stuff

[foggy hazel]

@little osprey that is done when you install windows. there are a bunch of people here that can talk you through it in about 3-4 minutes

[little osprey]

Oh kk

[foggy hazel]

@pastel briar before you answer. see above.

[pastel briar]

@little osprey as I said windows got jank on me so it flipped the two, don't feel like going around fixing it

[little osprey]

Right

[foggy hazel]

@little osprey in my case, that is just one of many drives in that system

[latent storm]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dcqfjp

is this good

i made it for my friend, i wanna make sure i don’t recommend a bad list

he insists on keeping the case btw

[pastel briar]

@latent storm not a bad build, im sure we could tweek it some but that would give good performance

[golden dome]

the motherboard my not arrive with the new bios for 3rd gen ryzen chips but otherwise it looks fine

[little osprey]

Ok, so out of these three which one do you recommend:
1)
1 terabyte hdd: For files/school work
1 terabyte m.2: For games, os, blender and 3D printing related
1 250gb ssd: For school work and other small things

1 terabyte hdd: For files/school work
1 terabyte m.2: For games, blender and 3D printing related
1 128 gb m.2 for os.

Do what you suggested and let my drive have sections so
1 terabyte hdd: for school work/ files
1 terabyte m.2: for os (section) and all my other main stuff in sections
1 250 gb ssd for school work

[foggy hazel]

a note: having files stored on 1 machine, on 1 drive is NOT a backup.

it does NOT give any realistic level of data security

with that part out of the way

My original comment about the 128gig drive is entirely based around size of the drive.

at 128gig, it is simply too small to actually be practically used for what you intend to do

hence, i would suggest the following

[latent storm]

@pastel briar what would you change with it?

[little osprey]

Oh, so try to find a 250 gb ssd? How much space does windows usually take up

[foggy hazel]

250-512 (gives you room for your OS plus the basic programs you actually use) (meaning, all the things that would have to be installed anyway, if you did a fresh install of the OS at some point))

re: how much space does windows take? windows itself (which is not actually what you are asking) is about 25-ish gig

windows with all the drivers and things you dont think about? about 80-ish

does all of that make sense?

[little osprey]

Yeah, let me just see if I get this. I should go with a 250-512 gb m.2 for os and other computer related programs. And then continue with a one terabyte m.2 for games, blender and my main stuff. Then, a one terabyte hdd for just for files/photos and such, which I don’t want on my m.2 drives?

[foggy hazel]

thats a more sensible/useful setup imo

[little osprey]

Ok, thanks I really appreciate it! I can always add in more storage later on though? Like I do want to get a Samsung evo ssd once more storage begins to get full

[foggy hazel]

yes, you can add more storage later

keep in mind, nvme <- as a feature, does not really do anything that you will notice aside from the OS drive

so in other words. Dont worry about that label

[little osprey]

What about rendering time and gameplay? Last thing, to save money I’m not gonna buy a cpu cooler since my Ryzen 5 cpu already comes with one. I was gonna go with an upgraded Ryzen cooler for $47, (I’ll see if I can find a photo of it), but to save money do you think that’s smart because I can always get a better cpu cooler in the future if I need one?

[foggy hazel]

@little osprey the stock cooler is fine

there are other things that could use the money first

[little osprey]

Yeah

That’s what I was thinking

[pastel briar]

@latent storm depending on the budget (which was never mentioned) I would to 2070 or 2080 vs the 2060, and/or the 570 series board instead of the 450, but that is just me and wanting to maximize the amount of time I can use the build in the configuration

[little osprey]

I can’t seem to find the photo of it

Thanks for your help btw, what model m.2 should I get for my os?

[foggy hazel]

a80 if you can

[sudden turret]

the one I picked 😦

😛

[foggy hazel]

and you are very welcome

and yes, its not cheap

but good things are very rarely cheap

[little osprey]

@sudden turret I’m going with a 250-500 gb one now though:)

[foggy hazel]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/XML48d/silicon-power-a80-512-gb-m2-2280-solid-state-drive-sp512gbp34a80m28

thats the link

[little osprey]

Especially with Canadian prices 😭

[foggy hazel]

you have nothing on the prices here

[little osprey]

Thx, damn, I don’t suppose there’s anything cheaper....

For 512 gb

[foggy hazel]

refer to what i said above

[little osprey]

Ik

[pastel briar]

redacted

[little osprey]

I think I’ll see if I can find a 250 gb one that’s really good

Same brand

[foggy hazel]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/vs97YJ/silicon-power-a80-256-gb-m2-2280-solid-state-drive-sp256gbp34a80m28

there you are @little osprey

@little osprey https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/p7nDFG

that is your list adjusted

you can keep the 1tb Western, prices in Canada support that one

@upper condor you dont have to ask in 2 channels

have patience and when someone has the knowledge/time/desire to answer it, they will.

[mellow basalt]

NetGear Nighthawk

[foggy hazel]

@mellow basalt its in #peripherals-and-displays now :)

[mellow basalt]

Ohhh

[little osprey]

Sweet! Thanks

[mellow basalt]

I’m so done with rocket league 😤

[cold sorrel]

550 motherboards aren't even out yet.

[foggy hazel]

The rest of your list is looking okay @little osprey , you can either go with this (in the next 3-4 weeks maximum) or you can come back later on. But if you do, please bring the list with you. It helps us help you quickly

@cold sorrel they are not supposed to be out yet

[cold sorrel]

Someone above mentioned going with a 550 board rather than a 450... but that's not possible to do yet

[little osprey]

For sure

[foggy hazel]

@cold sorrel you mean the 540 typo someone did earlier?

[cold sorrel]

Ah, they actually meant 570. My bad

[pastel briar]

oops, my bad, it was a typo, I have fixed it

[upper condor]

hey anyone know why there is a strange buzzing coming from my computer whenever I scroll my mouse? its super annoying

its actually just whenever I move my mouse or click or scroll

[midnight pelican]

gpu noises

[upper condor]

anyway to stop it

[midnight pelican]

idk when that happened to me i just bought a new gpu

[upper condor]

did it stop

[midnight pelican]

yeah

[upper condor]

hm

[midnight pelican]

it was rly old

[upper condor]

was it an old one

[midnight pelican]

yeah

[upper condor]

well mines like 4 months old

[midnight pelican]

hm

maybe its a fan issue

[upper condor]

definitely coming from there

[foggy hazel]

@upper condor see if you can get a recording of it, and then have a chat with customer service :)

[midnight pelican]

you should try and get some dust out of ur gpu fans

[upper condor]

could having a wifi card directly under cause any problems?

[foggy hazel]

nah, should not have any impact like that

[midnight pelican]

fax

[upper condor]

wait I think its my ssd

[midnight pelican]

ssd make noise?

[upper condor]

?

[sudden turret]

no they dont.

[midnight pelican]

i dont have an ssd lol so idk

[sudden turret]

no moving parts in an ssd.

[upper condor]

I legit cannot tell where its from

gpu or cpu or ram

[cursive wharf]

Well, they do. Tho it's too quiet for humans usually

[upper condor]

but none of those can buzz

right?

[sudden turret]

wifi card can make a noise

mine does

only when data

buzzing

[midnight pelican]

he said its when he moves his mouse

[upper condor]

well its louder then

[midnight pelican]

ah

[weak harness]

Maybe its more then one thing?

[midnight pelican]

im thinking ur wifi card might be hitting something on the gpu and so when u move ur mouse and the fans speed up it gets louder but otherwise idk

[upper condor]

stops whenever all windows are closed

[midnight pelican]

hm

to find where its coming from you could take out ur wifi card and see if it still makes the noise

temporarily

[upper condor]

Not wifi card

Gpu fans are off

How do I send vid on mobile

Then you can hear it

[weak harness]

Same way as u sent a picture as far as i know

[midnight pelican]

yup

[upper condor]

One sec

the increase in noise is when I open discord

[weak harness]

Well

[upper condor]

its a quiet buzz but annoying

[weak harness]

Mever heard that noise

[upper condor]

guess ill just deal with it

cant hear unless not watching anything or talking to anyone

so not that bad

[midnight pelican]

pour water on it

that might fix it

[weak harness]

Whut?

[midnight pelican]

i mean technically it will fix the noise

[weak harness]

Yes

But its not handy

I mean

Shut the pc off and the noise will stop

Bit more normal? I think at least

[midnight pelican]

better yet

[upper condor]

ill restart

[weak harness]

Or

U smash it with an hammer works fine to

[foggy hazel]

@midnight pelican "jokes/bs" like that dont belong in this channel

[midnight pelican]

sory

[upper condor]

Fixed I guess

[weak harness]

Nice

[upper condor]

no u

[foggy hazel]

@weak harness same applies to you.

if you want to joke around with stuff like that, please do so in #general-chat

[pastel briar]

@foggy hazel i figured out why my server kept wanting to reload bios every time on boot and the weird boot issue it was having 😄 the last person to have it before I got my hands on it set the jumper J29 to the "reset/backup" mode

[foggy hazel]

"joy"

[pastel briar]

no "Bliss"

unless you meant something else 😄

I will say that constant "loading from back up" was starting to get frustrating

oh and server #2 has been ordered...

[little osprey]

morning all

if i were to eventually get a 3950x and overclock it, 2080ti , would a 450 still be fine or would yall recomend a 550 at that point?

watt psu

just a gaming build

100% no SLI

[foggy hazel]

buy for what you have, not for wishful dreaming @little osprey

[little leaf]

ok wait

no

[little osprey]

its not exacrly wishful dreaming, il buy a used one in a few years

[foggy hazel]

no, you think you will

[little leaf]

I'm going to say no

[foggy hazel]

you dont know yet

and you are asking in a period of "silly" prices on parts :)

[little leaf]

you don't know yet but if you were ever too I don't think 450 watts will be enough

[foggy hazel]

ask again when you are ready to order

[little osprey]

well if spending 50 bucks more for the chance of it is worth it imo, if games use 12 cores within that time i most likely would get one

[little leaf]

@little osprey the recommended amount of wattage for 2070 super is 550 I;m pretty sure

I had a 970 and the power supply wasn't good enough and it just at random times it would cut off

[little osprey]

if theres 1 stipulation of my build, its that i dont want to have to replace the entire thing within 5 years

[little leaf]

snake what does that even mean?

I mean if your just talking about the power supply you can switch that out by itsslef

why not wait until them because there might be new standards for power supplies and new tect

[little osprey]

planning for a 12 core wiuld mean beefing up the case psu, and motherboard, cause if i buy just for the 8 core im going matx

I got a question for you mates! I really like the case I have selected Fractal Design Meshify C ATX mid tower case. But it’s $140 and I’m wondering if I can find a cheaper option, I was gonna go with the NZXT H510 but it doesn’t have as good air flow. What case do you mates recommend? Oh and it can be either black or white, I’m not sure if I’m going with a Jedi or sith themed build lol. I wasn’t at first cause I thought it would just cost more, but looking into stuff it won’t really. I can just set my ram to a certain colour like blue, green or red and then the case can be either white or black to represent either side

if your not worries about gpu length i would suggest the rosewill fbm v... something

or focus g depending on price in your area

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/RF7Ln7

[little leaf]

p400a

[little osprey]

It has to fit everything I have selected

[little leaf]

ok wait wait wait

no stop

oh nvm I just reailezed that canadian pricing nvm

[little osprey]

yeah...

The prices suck

the rosewill will fit that, but you may eant to buy an extra fan with it, otherwose the fractal focus g will fit all that

[little leaf]

I was like wait.... 536 dollars for 2060 super

[little osprey]

I have two extra fans selected

what case do you mates have

had an antec 300

[little leaf]

the phanteks p300 is around 90 bucks

[little osprey]

I could easily get better parts for the same prices in American lol

ok

yeah its bad in canada

dollar is worse then wver compared to the US right now

[little leaf]

actually the dollar price is going down

[shadow mango]

Should i buy all my water cooling seprate or just get a kit

[little osprey]

what about this one? I'm not sure what all the rgb is about tho

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/VPrmP6/corsair-spec-delta-rgb-atx-mid-tower-case-cc-9011166-ww

what kinda build pix?

[shadow mango]

Im building a whole new pc from scratch

I just need a gpu, water block and cooling

[little osprey]

i would just suggest an AIO unless you have a money is no issue build happening

[shadow mango]

Im not worried about the price

[little leaf]

snake aio for gpu?

[shadow mango]

But i want a full loop so

[little leaf]

and cpu?

[shadow mango]

Should i get a kit and just get a water block for my cpu and add it to the loop

[little osprey]

kits can be alright, i think deepcool are the brand to get??? im outdated with that though

[shadow mango]

Gpu*

True i want rgb everything so

[little leaf]

well you can try the corsair custom watter cooler picker thing

https://www.corsair.com/us/en/custom-cooling-configurator/

[little osprey]

air cooling all the way :p

if only they made parts to match noctua colors

[shadow mango]

I want red so it all works out

I just dont understand how that all comes out to 768$

With out a gpu

[little osprey]

watercooling is extremely expensive

[shadow mango]

Yea true

[little osprey]

its a hobby thing, your not REALLY spending for performance, its for looks and to have fun with overxlocking and such

realisticly its not worth it at all, but if yiur into it go for it if you got the money

[glass ferry]

Anybody know of a motherboard that will support a amd ryzen 5 3600 and a gtx 1660 super??

[little osprey]

well if you dont wanna worry about bios youd have to get an x570, but any cheap b450 shiuld be alright with thaf build

[wary tundra]

b450s, x470s, and x570s

oop

[glass ferry]

What would u guys recommend

What’s best for me but not too exspensive

[shadow mango]

Wouldnt i have to get a reservoir to

[little osprey]

with a custom loop yes you should

I just got the msi b450 ac pro carbon works good but is 180$

[shadow mango]

Okay cause its was only showing the pump

[little osprey]

probably not needed but, might as well go aio at that point

[shadow mango]

So res and a pump

??

[wary tundra]

https://www.newegg.com/asrock-b450m-pro4/p/N82E16813157843?item=N82E16813157843&nm_mc=knc-googleadwords&cm_mmc=knc-googleadwords-_-motherboards - amd-_-asrock-_-13157843&source=region @glass ferry

cheap and reliable

[stoic island]

Tuf b450m pro.

[little osprey]

res, pump, blocks, tubings, and 100 overpriced connectors lol

[stoic island]

is a great board

[wary tundra]

Tuf is good too

[shadow mango]

Connectors are overpriced fs

[placid zenith]

I'm working on a mid-level AMD gaming build. Already have SSD and HDD.
If anyone cares to have a look and offer tips / constructive criticism, it's appreciated:
https://secure.newegg.com/wishlist/pd/10510636

[stoic island]

Compression fittings?

@placid zenith
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ is neat

[little osprey]

alternativley you can make your own super custom loop that will look like terrible, with typical hardware store stuff and aquarium pumps lol

should perform good tho

[placid zenith]

Yes - another user turned me onto that earlier today - I really like the versatility of the site. 👍

[little osprey]

Hey guys I just built my new pc and when I get to playing games I can hear almost like a hissing noise sounds like it’s coming from the cpu but temperatures have been max at around 75°c

[stoic island]

It's easier to look at things with pcpp

you sure it comes from the CPU? Not the GPU or PSU?

[little osprey]

hissing? that cant be good

[stoic island]

I'm assuming some coil whine

[little osprey]

I hope not

oh that would be fine

[stoic island]

coil whine is just annoying, not much of an issue

[little osprey]

ive yet to had a part with it.. but im a noise freak and really dread that day

Ima run csgo again and play a game then I’ll update you guys with what I think it is because at idle it doesn’t but when I’m playing yes

[placid zenith]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Pousto/saved/wWxQD3 *** UPDATED ***

[little osprey]

Get the ddr4 3600

Instead

[subtle halo]

3600 cl16

[little osprey]

^^

[spice inlet]

What ram should I get that a good price for performance I'm using a i7 8700 k

[little osprey]

I’m not good with the stats on that kinda stuff

[spice inlet]

I have 150$ right now and I'm trying to get ram and a ssd

[placid zenith]

ty orbxtal & Tomie.
I thought there was a specific reason I was sticking with 3200 - maybe trying to stay conservative on price?

[eager chasm]

Ripjaws V is a common kit cheapish kit @spice inlet

[spice inlet]

For the ssd I have the sk hynix s31

250gb version pick out

[eager chasm]

even if your CPU doesn't support the speed you can clock it at the speed your CPU will use and the higher rated speed would be good for upgrades later

[stoic island]

Okay so

I'd suggest a better PSU... That's a non-rated unit from raidmax sooo

[placid zenith]

Ah yes - that's what I see - CPU rated at DDR4 3200.
But by the time I would plan to upgrade the CPU would likely be about 5-6 years down the road. By then, upgrading CPU by a small amount (due to socket availability)

[little osprey]

Ok I think the noise might be coming from my cpu fan and it not that loud but you can definitely hear it

I think I need better fans

[subtle halo]

yeah

buy big boy case too

that can do 160mm fan

[stoic island]

@little osprey what cpu fan

[placid zenith]

I'd suggest a better PSU... That's a non-rated unit from raidmax sooo
@stoic island Non-rated meaning what? it's 80 Plus Gold certified.

[stoic island]

One that is not rated on PSU tier list

[little osprey]

Noctua u12s cooler stock fan

[stoic island]

weird then

you sure the fan doesn't hit some cables?

[eager chasm]

most fans you are gonna hear something if they are spinning fast enough

[little osprey]

Yeah

Oooo sheeet I think they dooo hold on I need turn my system off and fix one

[subtle halo]

maybe set fan curve

lower it

[placid zenith]

@stoic island where is that list from/found ?

[little osprey]

I think I found my problem

[stoic island]

You can find it in pinned

https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1116640-psu-tier-list-40/

[placid zenith]

tyvm

[stoic island]

What's your budget?

[placid zenith]

Under $1500

[sudden turret]

but greater than?

[stoic island]

and you have storage?

[placid zenith]

$1000-$1500, including OS.
I have storage.

I had selected Raidmax due to past positive experience, and continuous power output (not "peak" ratings).
Will review PSU list and consider.

[eager chasm]

My PSU is on the B+ range, and I bought it only based on user rating XD

[stoic island]

Mine is A- bc I didn't know much before I bought

[eager chasm]

same

[stoic island]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WQfWCL

This is my suggestion

[eager chasm]

Rosewill Photon 750W is mine

[stoic island]

I got a g3, the issue is not bad, but its still A-.

[eager chasm]

A- isn't bad at all, I'd say that's pretty good

[stoic island]

meh

still one off A

and I'd rather not have any possible issues, even if its far off

[subtle halo]

Rosewill Photon 750W is mine
@eager chasm is that on tier list?

[stoic island]

yea

[eager chasm]

Rosewill Photon sits in B+

[little osprey]

I have the evga 600wBQ

[stoic island]

That's Tier C

[little osprey]

Dang I’m trash I geuss

[stoic island]

meh

it's not problematic at least

[little osprey]

Yeah it’s actually been running great

[stoic island]

yea

[little osprey]

Well for at least the two days I’ve had it

[stoic island]

PSUs work as they should, or they dont

[eager chasm]

the tier list is a rough guildline

[stoic island]

yea C and above are fine but

[little osprey]

I need to get lvl 3 so I can send a picture

[stoic island]

efficiency and stuff

[eager chasm]

I'm in the lower rung of "high end" for computer and it still works fine

[little osprey]

I have a R 3600 3.6 and a 2060 super and it runs great other than I’m getting such high FPS for a 60hz monitor

[eager chasm]

that's a perfectly respectable mid-range

[stoic island]

eh

monitor might be worth upgrading

[little osprey]

Yes I need to

But first I need to figure out this little noise that’s goin on

[eager chasm]

depends on the game, and what you crank the settings to, some games get less than 60FPS on 1080p ultra settings even for me

[stoic island]

its possible like a wire is in the way and the fans hit it

[little osprey]

It’s not hitting I checked all of them

[placid zenith]

MSI Radeon RX 5700 XT Mech OC
shows "recommended PSU: 750W"

How do you guys feel this compares to actual usage ratings... on PCPP ? (shows my wattage at 399W)

[eager chasm]

also grats on your level up @little osprey you can post that picture now

[stoic island]

because Noctua fans are great
and usually never makes much noise

Recommended can be ignored :p

[placid zenith]

/skeptical

[stoic island]

I trust pcpp estimation better

[subtle halo]

noctua fix everything

xD

[eager chasm]

most of my noise is from my GPU, the VII has a really nice look, but the fans are small and loud

[subtle halo]

why not dual tower noctua

[placid zenith]

with Gold Certifications... I look at PSUs similar to audio amplifiers. Good to overpower than underpower.

[little osprey]

The noise it’s making is so weird like it’s not the psu it actually might me the gpu

[stoic island]

if its coming from the GPU, it's prob coil whine

[little osprey]

@subtle halo I was concerned about space

Yeah I think it’s gpu because it only make the noise in game

[subtle halo]

u should see mr111 noctua fan

xD

[little osprey]

Very big

[placid zenith]

doesn't MSI offer software to allow you to control fan speed... specifically on GPU and/or CPU?

[little osprey]

Yes afterburner

[eager chasm]

this wire isn't hitting the case fan is it?

[little osprey]

I just moved that one

[stoic island]

:D

[little osprey]

HAHAHAHA

that thing it huge

[placid zenith]

I would boot to desktop, then use software to individually set fan speeds to maximum.
Need to isolate the device.

[stoic island]

I had issues with one of my wires touching my top fan

[eager chasm]

1111... the way those fans are wired hurts my soul

[stoic island]

ryoku

[eager chasm]

XD

[wary tundra]

pretty build

[stoic island]

they wont move without hitting my top fans

like

[placid zenith]

Could use a little more heatsink.

j/k

[stoic island]

bc I needed a splitter for then

[little osprey]

Ima take a video and see if I can hear it and send it here if the video picks it up

[stoic island]

and the extra length makes it stick upwards

so

it has to bee liek dat

[eager chasm]

I tuck any extra wire length inbetween things

[stoic island]

cant

the fan header is just a bit below the heatsink

yea

[little osprey]

Or I can move the fan clockwise again and tuck it where my ram is

[eager chasm]

I know it's know the same cause I use stock prism, but I try to tuck extra length anyway I can

[stoic island]

This is what is normal fan noise (it's quieter irl than in the video)
https://photos.app.goo.gl/mBR9sf11di9AksrP6

[eager chasm]

Some of my extra wire I bundled and stuck under the ram XD

[little osprey]

I did a overclock test on my gpu it was making a little squeak noise but it was only at 64°c

Ima compare the noises

[stoic island]

That's prob coil whine

[little osprey]

It might be the gpu

Yeah

[stoic island]

I believe when GPUs start outputting a ton of frames, like 2000fps, they tend to have a bit of coil whine

[little osprey]

I’m getting at like 375 FPS in csgo how do you limit that to like 100

[eager chasm]

Mine is just a jet engine cause the fans are small for the size and power of the card XD

[stoic island]

There might be an in game limiter

But there's also external limiters

[eager chasm]

many games have an FPS limit you can set

[wary tundra]

so you know how the silicon power a80 is good

[stoic island]

Yea

[wary tundra]

is the silicon power a55 any good

[stoic island]

Gimme a sec prob not

[wary tundra]

its a ssd

[stoic island]

Yea it's bad it's dramless

[wary tundra]

so a tc sun bow would be the move

[stoic island]

P34a80 is the ONLY good silicon power SSD afaik, and a great one at that

Well

[little osprey]

The top of my gpu is very hot I feel like I need to take a break but it’s only at 60°

[stoic island]

Team L5 lite 3d is an option

[wary tundra]

alright

[stoic island]

I mean 60c is only warm for PC parts, but hot for humans lol

[little osprey]

Ima manual my fan speed

[stoic island]

Fair enough

[eager chasm]

my GPU hovers 75C when full tilt

[little osprey]

What software is that

[eager chasm]

the Radeon driver software

[little osprey]

@eager chasm

Ooo

Yeah I have nvidia so I can’t

[high wigeon]

:D
@stoic island is it an aesthetic choice to have the cable upfront ?

[eager chasm]

it's like a better Geforce experience, but for Radeon cards... now if the drivers themselves weren't broken all the time I'd recommend it

[stoic island]

Wdym @high wigeon

[high wigeon]

because.

[stoic island]

@little osprey MSI afterburner is great tho

[high wigeon]

you could have route them behind

[stoic island]

Can't

Don't have space

[eager chasm]

there is, I can see it, you just don't want to hassle with tucking the wires back there XD

[high wigeon]

nah it might be a pain i i assure you its possible lol

[stoic island]

There's fans on top so

[little osprey]

I just got a ace in cs using the ssg sniper

[eager chasm]

the wire wouldn't go anywhere near the top fan

[little osprey]

Yeah I’m sure the coil whine in the gpu should I contact msi?

[stoic island]

Contact MSI support and ask them about it

Maybe they'll let you rma

[little osprey]

Ok

Like when I’m playing games it does it then as soon as I press windows key it goes away

[stoic island]

Might be the too many fps thing I was talking about

You know Nvidia control panel?

There's a way to set a frame cap in there

[little osprey]

Yeah

Ooo I know now that what jaytwo cents said too

[granite imp]

Well I’m a dumb dumb and had my cpu cooler fan on all wrong 🤦‍♂️

I thought I was a genius

[stoic island]

I gotta start watching Jay's 2 cents at some point

[little osprey]

Dood

[granite imp]

But I’m an idiot, better now.

[stoic island]

Heh @granite imp I failed mounting my CPU cooler so many times I ran out of the original thermal paste

[little osprey]

Jay is goat he helped me do windows install quick and easy

[stoic island]

I need to read the manual

[granite imp]

The mounting went fine

I mounted the stock cooler first

No issue

Ran for about a week or two

Just upgrade

Upgraded

I thought the fan pull hot air from the heat sink away

So I put it on the other side of the heat sink, thinking it would blow directly at the exhaust fan

🤦‍♂️

[stoic island]

Eh

At least it's fixed now

[little osprey]

Maxed my fps at 100 so let’s see

[granite imp]

Or is it? Muahahahahah

[little osprey]

Bum bum bummmmmm

[granite imp]

No it is, I fixed it just now.

[little osprey]

Ahhh it went away

Wow jay really helps

[stoic island]

some day I'll watch jay

I have enough with tech jesus, linus, and ufd

[foggy hazel]

we know @stoic island

[stoic island]

Naed why are you up at one criticizing me 😭

jkjk

Manuals are useful tho

[eager chasm]

UFD is a tiny bit of a clickbait monger, I feel for his situation but he clickbaits and over sensationalizes

[stoic island]

The news is useful, idc about the thumbnails

Linus clickbaits too

but I watch linus for the memez

not too much for the information

@little osprey this is where the option is in Nvidia control panel

[little osprey]

Yeah I found it thank you I geuss I will be playing at 100fps now

[wary tundra]

@glass ferry

could you guys help him with his issue he is having. from what he is saying there could be a magnitude of problems but I dont really know what is it

[stoic island]

what problem

[wary tundra]

would you like to explain tadiums

[glass ferry]

Well I have a cheap pc that I was trying to upgrade to make it faster and run smoother and I bought a whole new cpu and a new gpu for it and now the image won’t display on my monitor and I even tried to take the new parts out and put the old parts back in and now it won’t even display with the old parts and my keyboard and mouse won’t light up either

[stoic island]

You got a list?

[wary tundra]

a list of his parts he has now?

[glass ferry]

Wym list

[wary tundra]

I dont think he understood

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/707712070367576176/707725603503079454/image0.png this is the pc he has now and he tried to put in a ryzen 5 3600

[glass ferry]

And the new gpu I bought was a gtx 1660 super

[stoic island]

did they have the right bios?

also, did you upgrade PSU? @glass ferry

[glass ferry]

I’m not sure about the bios bc I’m not too familiar with PCs and I did not upgrade the psu

Only thing I bought was a new cpu and a gpu

[stoic island]

So you most likely don't have the correct bios for the CPU

and not sure on the PSU, the PSU could be crappy and somehow can't support a 1660s

[glass ferry]

So what should I do? Bc I already have the cpu and the gpu

[wary tundra]

I wonder what motherboard that prebuilt has

[stoic island]

So, put it back together with the org stuff

bc you'll have to flash the board

[wary tundra]

I was assuming either a a320 or a low end 450

[stoic island]

prob a320

most prebuilts have a320s

[wary tundra]

so it is probably a bios issue

I thought it was maybe a wattage issue

[stoic island]

meh 1660super is pretty light weight

[glass ferry]

I can’t flash my motherboard if I can’t get it on?

[wary tundra]

prebuilts psu though 👀

[stoic island]

thats why you need to put it back togther with the org parts

and check everything that you plugged in

[little leaf]

what happening with him?

[stoic island]

make sure everything is plugged in correctly

They tryna upgrade a prebuilt, likely dont have 3rd gen ready bios

[little leaf]

nice

[glass ferry]

A320M-HDV

Is the motherboard I have

[stoic island]

yep

Did you put it back together

[glass ferry]

Yea it’s been back together for like a week

[little leaf]

I got a hefty amoutn of gpu sag

[glass ferry]

And it still won’t display

[stoic island]

Check the connections

Because thats the only thing that is likely to be at fault

[little osprey]

I’m gonna ship my gpu back to msi for them to test it

Stupid coil whine

I could play above 100fps

[polar goblet]

Fixed my gpu! It was a cable in the way of the fan from when I cleaned it and put it back together

Now the very last thing! I’m not getting audio out of my monitor 🤔

[stoic island]

passthrough can be pretty wacky

[polar goblet]

I did plug-in a audio cable to my motherboard when setting it up. Could that mess with it?

[final hamlet]

Oh I didn’t even know this was here

Long story short. New pc. Slow. Lag.

[stoic island]

you got drivers?

[pastel briar]

@polar goblet I assume your using HDMI which has the ability to pass audio

[stoic island]

DP doesnt

[polar goblet]

Yes I am

[pastel briar]

which is why you are seeing what you are seeing

[sudden turret]

oh nice Crypto, up and running I see 😄

[polar goblet]

Hdmi

[stoic island]

rju

[sudden turret]

Did that windows key work for you? 🙂

[little leaf]

@final hamlet you have all the drivers?

[final hamlet]

I believe so. How can I check if I do?

[polar goblet]

Any suggestions on what it could be for me not hearing audio?

[stoic island]

GPU driver wise, Nvidia experience

or AMD equivelent

@polar goblet u using usb or 3.5mm

[polar goblet]

I don’t think I have my gpu drivers installed yet. Would that affect audio? ...

[final hamlet]

@polar goblet on discord? Go to settings- Audio- And click on input and output

[little osprey]

Anyone else get coil whine on there gpu?

[stoic island]

Maybe

Orbxtal did you contact msi support and file a ticket?

[sudden turret]

@polar goblet has windows finished installing all updates?

[little osprey]

Yeah they said they would send a rma

[little leaf]

@final hamlet no its not discord

something else

[stoic island]

okay then

[final hamlet]

Ohhhh

[sudden turret]

usual when I update gpu driver, or even plug in my monitor the sound jumps to them,

[little osprey]

They responded so quick the first time them now it’s taking awhile

[little leaf]

ye

[polar goblet]

It has finished updating windows. But my gpu driver isn’t up to date. Going to have to manually download from GeForce website

[sudden turret]

go do that

[little leaf]

do you have geforce experience

[sudden turret]

give a good reboot

you should be good to go

Geforce Experience ^

good to have, keeps ya up-to-date

[little leaf]

very helpful^

[sudden turret]

just not so much with the auto-optimization of games

that thing is kinda garbage

😄

[little leaf]

ye but for drivers

[celest horizon]

https://www.techpowerup.com/download/techpowerup-nvcleanstall/

[sudden turret]

oh yeah I forget about NV clean

to forks

[celest horizon]

GXP is nice for "just works" , nvcleaninstall if you're a tryhard like me

[stoic island]

I dont like it for geforce experience
