agile bear
#

I wonder if someone is gonna make a death stranding build from Nvidia

little leaf
#

@agile bear why would you water cool 2070s?

agile bear
#

Cuz y not?

little leaf
#

cause ur spending a lot on a water cooling a card thats not worth water cooling

cursive wharf
#

I mean, $200 or so for great AIO I'd assume, $150 or so for okay custom GPU only, $300 or so for entire custom loop with okay quality and RGB

little leaf
#

ye but could save that money for an upgrade in the furtue

desert gulch
#

is 55-60 good for a cpu while just browsing the web?

#

I am running r5 3600 with wraith stealth

#

it can get to 85-90 while gaming

little leaf
#

for third party coolers thats really bad

desert gulch
#

its stock

little leaf
#

Ik

#

You didn't let me finish

desert gulch
#

sry

little leaf
#

for stock its still a littl ebad

#

not the worst

desert gulch
#

i just ordered some more case fans... that will help it i assume?

little leaf
#

Not by much

desert gulch
#

atm i have 1 intake and 1 exausht

little leaf
#

More intake fans

desert gulch
#

i have room to put 2 at the top, or i can put 2 on the front. I ordered 3... what should i do?

little leaf
#

2 in the front

#

but the best thing to do is to get a better cooler

desert gulch
#

I took of the glass on my case and tried playing a game, this time it was chilling in the 70-75 region

#

so i think its airflow

analog hearth
fast dust
#

generally removing all traces of the old GPU would be the best bet i'd think

analog hearth
#

yeah that's where I was stumped lol

#

just don't know if I should've enabled it or not

#

I guess everything else looks good too

little osprey
#

I currently have a build with an i5-9400f and GTX 1660. Im looking to upgrade to an RTX 2070 Super. Would I experience a harsh bottleneck from my CPU with this new setup, or would I be good to go?

fast dust
#

Nothing harsh

little osprey
#

Thank you

velvet rock
#

hello people

stoic island
#

hello

velvet rock
#

ryzyen 7 3700x or the 5 3600x I'm looking to play aaa games and have a regular computer for work and school

#

i want upgrade ability

buoyant flame
#

Are you planning to do workstation tasks such as video editing or graphic design?

velvet rock
#

im not buying the new xbox so that i can purchase this, and no i do not do any edititng or graphic design, but i also never had a computer that could do those things

#

by budget is just around a grand+

buoyant flame
#

A 3600 should suffice tbh

#

Nearly same single core performance as a 3700x and way cheaper

#

leaves more room for a good gpu

velvet rock
#

but should i do the X

#

instead of regular

buoyant flame
#

Not worth it imo

#

Your essentially paying 50 extra dollars for the letter x

#

You won't notice a difference in most tasks

rigid meteor
#

Hey whats a good aio for the price? I just bought a 360mm master liquid and it has air in it so I wanna return it and get another.(also there controller wasn't very nice.

velvet rock
#

ok i will be doing the the 3600

buoyant flame
#

Sounds good

#

Something like a nzxt x63 should perform well @rigid meteor

rigid meteor
#

Ok ill look at that one the last one I saw by them was really pricey

buoyant flame
#

Ya, nzxt is decently pricey

#

But they perform well

rigid meteor
#

I guess its worth it though if I don't get issues again

velvet rock
#

well i just bought a cpu

buoyant flame
#

Nice

#

3600 manages itself very well. You should be pleased with it

rigid meteor
#

Yeah i just bought the x73 I wanted to fill out the top of my case again and depending on how the fans perform i have extra. And amd is the way to go @velvet rock

velvet rock
#

nice now i just need everything else

#

im on part picker trying to see what else i shoudl do with it

rigid meteor
#

I'd look into x570 mobos wait for a deal to pop up

#

And m.2 storage is amazing highly recommended 970 evo

velvet rock
#

so i wanted to do a big hdd like 3 tb and the like a 500 gb ssd hows that sound

fast dust
#

970 evo overpriced

rigid meteor
#

That would work out fine id install windows on ssd and games on it as well

fast dust
#

Go Teamgroup MP34 or WD SN750

#

or HP EX920

velvet rock
#

so these acronyms arent helpful im still lokoking at mobos

rigid meteor
#

I have the evo and the WD both work really well

fast dust
#

evo works well just overpriced

rigid meteor
#

I got mine on a deal if you wait a lot of stuff pops up on hot deals on newegg

velvet rock
#

so my form factor should i go full tower mid tower micro?

#

the 570 is atx

rigid meteor
#

Depends on what you really want to do

velvet rock
#

gaming home theater work school and other plus upgradable

rigid meteor
#

Mid tower and up would be easier to work with and upgrade

stoic island
#

MP510 is also good drive but not great pricing

#

@velvet rock what case do you want

#

that's the deciding factor

#

everything else doesn't really matter

little leaf
#

@stoic island know if I can use a 220t with an aio?

rigid meteor
#

Fractal design is a good company to look at @velvet rock good cable management and affordable

little leaf
#

or anyone know?

stoic island
#

prob

little leaf
#

Was looking at it

stoic island
#

I mean don't look at company

#

look at model

little leaf
#

and they said most vrm heatsinks on the block the rad

stoic island
#

Meshify C is a great case if you add extra fans

little leaf
#

and fans

stoic island
#

Maybe for top rad

#

but what about front rad

little leaf
#

nah I just want a good looking case

#

and don't say the td500

#

I don't like the front panel on that

rigid meteor
#

I'm using the lian li 011 dynamic and I honestly love it lots of room i have a top rad in it but it also my first case so I'm no expert

#

Can easily add fans as well with it i have 9 in total and temps are great

stoic island
#

I love the TD500 mesh

#

its so good

#

Same front look as the Meshify C

#

except with argb

rigid meteor
#

I think case just comes down to preference mine was a little spendy to be honest

stoic island
#

Case goes to preference as long as theres good airflow

hidden relic
#

trying to find an available alternative to the zotac gtx 1650 super for a budget build

#

anyone have any thoughts on going with Gigabyte 1650 super on newegg?

#

ive used the zotac but not this one

velvet rock
#

im actually looking at mobos right now

#

and i like the h510 case, but ive seen alot of people use them

buoyant flame
#

Theyre popular for sure, but they don't have the best airflow

velvet rock
#

im just looking through completed builds on pc part picker

hidden relic
#

just used the cooler master q300l in a build that i thought looked pretty good

velvet rock
#

L or 1

#

kinda like it

hidden relic
#

L

velvet rock
#

i settled on Phanteks Eclipse P400 ATX Mid Tower Case

hidden relic
#

looks good

velvet rock
#

yeah i tried to get an upgraded one in white for ten extra bucks but im good

#

I am confused on Graphics cards

#

thats been kinda daunting

#

im seeing gforce and radeon on similiar builds

hidden relic
#

thats the two big options

velvet rock
#

i should prolly get a motherboard first ey

hidden relic
#

build it all on pc partpicker and order it all together. i get everything in my carts to make sure all of its available and then purchase

velvet rock
#

yeah thats what im doing

little osprey
#

laptin get the p400a

still roostBOT
#
Mando#4221 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

little osprey
#

i have the p400 and the front panel airflow is crap

#

p400a is just the p400 but with mesh front

jagged ember
#

A stands for airflow

little osprey
#

I'm new to building PCs and using newegg, but I made a PC up to 1,700 basically and I was wondering if monthly payments is possible

#

(I'm basically a dunce to this and I'm not sure if there is one)

velvet rock
#

well would you look at that

turbid narwhal
#

Iโ€™m in the middle of building my pc and Iโ€™m lost. Can anyone help

mellow shuttle
#

Whats your issue @turbid narwhal

hazy ridge
#

I need help with building my first PC my budget is $1000 CAD

#

I also do streaming if that changes anything

edgy viper
#

probably want an nvidia gpu in that case

honest ridge
#

I'm trying to upgrade my CPU and motherboard. My current CPU is a "AMD FX 8320" and my GPU is a "Radeon RX 480". I was gonna try to get suggestions from you guys.

#

i have a $500 dollar budget but would like to keep it around 400

eager chasm
#

wait until there is no longer a motherboard shortage because the good value ones are currently gone

#

you either get garbage tier or overkill tier

#

both are a pretty bad option

lapis zealot
#

question ab graphics card, can anyone help?

little osprey
#

me waiting for my pc parts to arrive

#

rx 480 still aint so bad, id upgrade the platform first for sure @honest ridge

#

if you can find a cheap b450 somewhere

#

is there any new leaks on zen 3 release?

little osprey
#

i put most of my pc savings into nvidia stock while i wait for ampere lol, turning that 3060 money into 3080 money lol

mystic bridge
#

can i upgrade my cpu on Intel Corporation DH77KC motherboard ?

sudden turret
#

LGA1155

mystic bridge
#

thanks

sudden turret
#

looks like you can slap a i7-3770K in it

mystic bridge
#

i have I5-3570K

sudden turret
#

ah

#

you would just need to look up if it's worth doing that upgrade (probably not)

mystic bridge
#

thanks for help ๐Ÿ™‚

Hey I got a question, I got new internet of 1 gig speed. my motherboard says it has a 1 gig network adapter.. I'm only getting 400-500 megs a s econd it caps out at 500.. but the tech came test the speed. he took my direct ethernet cable that connects to my pc and measured the speed it gets 986.. but my pc is bottlenecking it and I can't figure it out why. Any suggestions?

sudden turret
#

what does this show

#

looking at speed:

wintry gust
#

I don't have wifi but not sure how to get to that screen

sudden turret
#

doesn't matter wifi or not

#

goto Network and internet Settings

#

double click your active connection

wintry gust
#

sec

sudden turret
#

hmm ok

#

where are you checking your speed?

wintry gust
#

ok so when I do a speed test.. my cpu under performance jumps to 90-100%

#

but I still cap out at 500

sudden turret
#

when they check your cables, did they check from the modem? or the wall?

wintry gust
#

from the modem

#

he checked wifi, he checked my ethernet cable that my pc uses

sudden turret
#

what browser?

wintry gust
#

chrome and edge

sudden turret
#

hrm

wintry gust
#

340-400

#

average is 340

sudden turret
#

what mobo?

wintry gust
#

msi mortar aresnal

sudden turret
#

have you tried updating/reinstalling network drivers

wintry gust
#

I did update the network drivers today

#

and I did turn off the energy saver for ethernet

#

I also ran all my spyware clean ups and everything.

#

the ethernet usage is at 0% to 0.1

sudden turret
#

open up cmd prompt
ipconfig /flushdns
nbtstat -R
nbtstat -RR
netsh int ipv4 reset
netsh int ipv6 reset
netsh winsock reset

#

then reboot

wintry gust
#

type them one at a time?

sudden turret
#

no one at a time

wintry gust
#

nbstat is failing to purge -rr access is denied

#

netsh ipv4-6 worked

#

winsock = run as admin.

sudden turret
#

open cmd prompt as admin

wintry gust
#

ok I am used to typing run/ cmd

sudden turret
wintry gust
#

gotcha got it

#

ok that worked lol

#

brb

#

ok ๐Ÿ™‚

sudden turret
#

good to go?

wintry gust
#

running a test now

#

speed is worse now

#

220

sudden turret
#

have you tried using different server?

#

like to test speed

#

or just using 'the best' it gives you

#

er 'optimal server'

wintry gust
#

I tried 2 different servers

#

the other speed test site said 220

sudden turret
wintry gust
#

the closest server to me gets 500 cap

#

xfinity broke 500

sudden turret
#

hm

#

maybe @warm nova can shed some light. he is good with stuff

wintry gust
#

I seriously appericate the help.

sudden turret
#

have you tried resetting the modem?

wintry gust
#

yes multiple times

sudden turret
#

like the actual reset button

#

press and hold, bla bla bla

wintry gust
#

yup

#

the router is getting 986 megs a sec

sudden turret
#

is this spectrum?

wintry gust
#

xfinity

sudden turret
#

they provide hardware?

wintry gust
#

the tech was literally just here and we went over all of this.

#

ya ๐Ÿ™‚

#

we reseted like 8 times

#

he checked the wires, he checked the box, he checked the entire house, he checked out side, he checked every cable every everything

#

all getting 1 gig speeds

#

just the second you put it in my computer it caps out at 500 ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

jagged ember
#

Maybe your computer doesn't have gigabit Ethernet?

wintry gust
#

it does

jagged ember
#

Or it's on some baloney power saving Ethernet mode

sudden turret
#

do you have another PC/laptop/phone even to try

wintry gust
#

I turned that off already

jagged ember
#

Ah, I see

#

Try with another device yeah

wintry gust
#

see>

sudden turret
#

yeah their things shows 1gp

#

ya

#

so technically.. it should give it

wintry gust
#

wifi gets 400-500 cap too

#

but its wifi so I am not worried about that

little osprey
#

hey

sudden turret
#

have you tried another cable?

#

cat6*

wintry gust
#

the tech replaced the cable too ya

sudden turret
#

I know they go well above 1gbps

#

hm

#

wtf

#

lol

wintry gust
#

he used both cables and tested the speed on his meter all 986

#

this is why I am so freaking confused and lost

sudden turret
#

it's either your mobo, or windows.

wintry gust
#

my one friend thinks my cpu is bottlenecking it

#

I think its windows

sudden turret
#

I don't see how those are connected

#

whats your cpu

wintry gust
#

ummm sec

#

Intel Core i5-8400 Coffee Lake 6-Core 2.8 GHz (4.0 GHz Turbo) LGA 1151

#

I'll call msi and see what they say

#

but I am sure its windows

sudden turret
#

it's gotta be a setting

wintry gust
#

thats what I am thinking cause its litterally capped

#

but I can't find that one setting and I'll be damned if I am calling windows and paying 100 dollars for them to find it

sudden turret
#

don't do that

#

lol

#

ever.

wintry gust
#

exactly

sudden turret
#

win10 pro?

wintry gust
#

win10 umm I think pro or home

#

its home

#

64 bit

sudden turret
#

ok lets go back to cmd prompt (admin)

#

try: netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled

wintry gust
#

ok

#

done

sudden turret
#

test

wintry gust
#

literally said ok. lol

#

uhh xfinity test came up 207...

sudden turret
#

try a few things

wintry gust
#

ya I am

#

doesn't seem to help

#

ummm

#

80

sudden turret
#

lol

#

ok

wintry gust
#

next 250

sudden turret
#

netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal

wintry gust
#

lol ya no

#

ok trying that

#

500

sudden turret
#

netsh interface tcp show global

#

snip what it shows

wintry gust
#

actually that did something everything that was not hitting cap hit cap now

#

ok one sec

#

getting screen

sudden turret
#

whats the exact model of the msi aresenal

wintry gust
#

MSI Arsenal Gaming Intel Coffee Lake B360 LGA 1151 DDR4 Onboard Graphics CFX Micro ATX Motherboard (B360M Mortar)

sudden turret
#

do you have any of that software installed

#

like the "gaming LAN" crap

wintry gust
#

not that I am aware of???

#

I have dragon center

#

from msi

#

nvidia experince umm

little osprey
#

hi

wintry gust
#

hrmmm where do I see this? cause I found something but there is a lot here to take pics of

sudden turret
#

what

jagged ember
#

ugh i'm honestly not a fan of dragon centre

sudden turret
#

you have a 2080ti? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

jagged ember
#

but as a fellow MSI mobo user i pretty much have to

wintry gust
#

yes

jagged ember
#

wow

sudden turret
#

and 32gb ram

#

๐Ÿคค

wintry gust
#

lol

jagged ember
#

niceee

wintry gust
#

hence why I am trying to get this freaking working lol

sudden turret
#

so your build looks good.

#

there is no reason why it shouldn't pull 986

wintry gust
#

exactly!

sudden turret
#

the back I/O

wintry gust
#

cries

sudden turret
#

is there just one ethernet port?

#

or two

wintry gust
#

yes

#

I double checked that today too

sudden turret
#

lol

wintry gust
#

I can take a pic if you want? lol

sudden turret
#

why not

#

lol

#

we shall pull our hair out together.

jagged ember
#

There should just be one, according to the website

#

10/100/1000 LAN Port

#

I'm assuming we've already reinstalled network drivers?

wintry gust
sullen spoke
#

Blur

sudden turret
#

and gave the link to the driver

#

I*

jagged ember
#

so that's off the list

#

we sure it isn't a windows update?

warm nova
#

does that board have a Killer lan. the software is horrible?

sudden turret
#

yeah killer lan SUCKS

#

so bad

#

I think thats Gigabyte stuff

#

though

#

my wife has/had it.. causes so much issues

jagged ember
#

MSI has their weird gaming lan driver

warm nova
#

I have an asrock with killer and just the drivers work fine, but the killer software causes massive issues

sudden turret
#

yeah I asked about that fluff

jagged ember
#

'LAN manager'

wintry gust
#

one sec too many things going on at once hrmm

sullen spoke
#

Killer

sudden turret
#

Intender, to catch you up, they're capped to 500mbps

#

but have giganet

jagged ember
#

cable length?

warm nova
#

it thats the correct board linked its an intel

sudden turret
#

they get 986mbps from modem

#

yeah they have intel

sullen spoke
#

Not using a Ethernet splitter right?

sudden turret
#

they have a pretty baller system.

jagged ember
#

i assume it's not cable length that's the issue either

sullen spoke
#

Lol

sudden turret
#

aside from it being an i5 non K

wintry gust
sudden turret
jagged ember
#

ew, dragon center

wintry gust
#

I'll try uninstalling the driver again

#

well I don't know how else to show you

jagged ember
#

yeah no that's fine lol

sudden turret
#

maybe dragon center is the issue

#

?

wintry gust
#

maybe?

jagged ember
#

It's just not the greatest software in the world

#

try uninstall it and the sdk

wintry gust
#

let me try the drivers.

sudden turret
#

I really dunno what else to do.

wintry gust
#

then if that don't work I'll uninstall dragon

jagged ember
#

okay, sounds like a plan

wintry gust
#

what driver off that page box should I grab?

sudden turret
#

35

#

er

#

25

#

goto LAN

warm nova
sudden turret
jagged ember
#

same picture lol

wintry gust
#

ok got it ty

sudden turret
#

also do what Intender says

#

he knows networking inside and out.

warm nova
#

LOL, I know nothing. fake it till you make it

jagged ember
#

He definitely has more knowledge than I do

wintry gust
#

one sec

#

the driver stopped downloading

jagged ember
#

uh oh

wintry gust
#

it finished

#

bad parameter n-20

warm nova
#

huh

sudden turret
#

you under admin?

wintry gust
#

it says administrator command prompt

warm nova
#

oops, is -n 20

#

not n-20

sudden turret
#

bruh

#

making me look bad

#

๐Ÿ˜„

#

request timed out

#

on my end

warm nova
#

your internet is the suck

#

new internet

sudden turret
#

:\

wintry gust
sudden turret
#

its either spectrum cable, or dsl

wintry gust
#

xfinity cable

warm nova
#

ok, not packet loss which is good

sudden turret
#

no I was refering to mine ๐Ÿ˜„

wintry gust
#

Ohhh lol

warm nova
#

god I cant type

#

belay that order

sudden turret
#

delay

wintry gust
#

LOL bad parameter

sudden turret
#

bruh

#

stand up and stretch

#

lol

wintry gust
#

one sec I'll be right back being called I gotta take this

warm nova
wintry gust
#

ok back

covert shale
wintry gust
#

Packet needs to be fragmented but df is set

#

sent 4 recieved 0 lost 4 100% loss

warm nova
#

keep lowering the mtu value by about 10 until it goes through with 0 loss

#

so try 1490

#

hopefully you end up somewhere around 1472

wintry gust
#

1470 0 loss

warm nova
#

try 1472

wintry gust
#

0 loss

#

1475 100%

#

loss

warm nova
#

ok, then you dont need to play with the mtu settings

#

1472 in windows is normal for cable. the value you would see in your router or modem would be 1500 because there are 28 bytes worth of header data

wintry gust
#

ok I downloaded the drivers should I use autorun?

#

gotcha

warm nova
#

Your speed issues are not due to packet loss or having to resend data

wintry gust
#

thats good to know.

warm nova
#

you are plugged straight into the xfinity hardware?

wintry gust
#

yes

little osprey
#

Yo anybody should i get the rx580 now or save up for the rx5600xt

wintry gust
#

direct line

warm nova
#

no extra router in between

wintry gust
#

nope

#

ok so it wants me to uninstall drivers than reinstall I'll be back in a bit

warm nova
wintry gust
#

ok back

#

installing that now lol

#

ok installed

#

200-300 speed tests now sighs

#

410 which is the highest i got on there

#

yup same speeds basically

#

i'm calling msi lol

#

if they can't help I'm just taking my pc to staples or something

whole slate

jagged ember
#

i tried my best

wintry gust
#

and seriously thank you. I can't thank you all for all the attempts

#

enough

sullen spoke
#

you issue was rebooting randomly right @whole slate , do you oc at all?

fast dust
#

Do you have drivers installed correctly?

misty obsidian
#

possibly a bios problem?

whole slate
#

@sullen spoke no oc

#

@fast dust yes

#

@misty obsidian 3103 updated

misty obsidian
#

ok ok

sullen spoke
#

is there something you do that usually causes it to reboot or just random

misty obsidian
#

are u pressing the reset button love_it

whole slate
#

if I reset optimize default will restart quickly every time with no stop you can't boot the system

sudden turret
#

@wintry gust sorry we couldn't fix

whole slate
#

when I active the xmp profile

#

will work the windows and will restart randomly twice a day or three times

#

I tried to replace the psu nothing happen

#

updated bios with chip driver and the same problem

it looks hideous

sullen spoke

i dont think zipties can handle all of that

sullen spoke
misty obsidian
#

i need a modular power supply

#

holy crap

#

my monitor just died for a sec

#

but were good now

whole slate
#

@sullen spoke well it's 1.4 voltage with my cpu and the idle temp it's 63

misty obsidian
#

i need a modular power supply to make cables look good

whole slate
#

when i change it to 1.2 voltage will down to 50

#

and still reboot

sullen spoke
#

no bsod or error code?

whole slate
#

no

sullen spoke

#

I may have a hardened exterior ...

#

but you wounded me just now.

sudden turret
#

lol

wintry gust
#

msi said that my internet provider has capped my bandwith

sand falcon
#

Most internet providers do

wintry gust
#

cause msi forced the network adapter to only see 1 gig speed

#

and he said they are going to tell you that they are not and they are going to put up a fight

#

when I did call them they were like well you have too many devices on the network...... ffs

sand falcon
#

You say the device is getting gigabit?

wintry gust
#

well its supposed to

sand falcon
#

What does it get?

wintry gust
#

but I'm getting 300 to 500 capped

sand falcon
#

Wifi or ethernet?

wintry gust
#

ether

sand falcon
#

What cable type?

wintry gust
#

cat 6

#

i believe cause its getting 986

sudden turret
#

yeah bob its weird

wintry gust
#

the ether net is seeing 1 gig speed so.

sudden turret
#

I had them reset everything

#

they're getting 986 from the modem, but not in windows.

wintry gust
#

and msi did a setting that you guys didn't do either and he said whoever helped you before knew what they were doing ๐Ÿ˜‰

sand falcon
#

So the router is getting full gigabit, but the computer down the line is only seeing 500 or so?

sudden turret
#

correct

#

506 to be exact

wintry gust
#

ya they had me go to speed duplex and set it to 1 gig

#

yup the router is getting 1 gig but the pc is not

#

the same cable that was test was getting 986

sudden turret
#

I don't know what else in windows could cap it to 500

wintry gust
#

it has to be ISP

sudden turret
#

no

#

not if modem is pulling

#

1gb

sand falcon
#

I don;t think they can cap past the router

wintry gust
#

so msi lied?

sudden turret
#

whoever you talked too

#

lol

wintry gust
#

msi tech

sand falcon
#

Not necessarily. How long is the cable run?

sudden turret
#

from modem to pc

wintry gust
#

my pc is 4 ft from the modem/router

#

the cable is a 10 ft cable

sudden turret
#

the only thing I can think you could do, is buy a pci ethernet nic card

sand falcon
#

What motherboard do you have?

wintry gust
#

ya the tech said to do that

sudden turret
#

msi b360 mortor?

wintry gust
#

well my cable guy tech

#

ya

sudden turret
#

intel*

wintry gust
#

yup

sand falcon
#

Bah, intel

wintry gust
#

I do not trust amd anymore

sudden turret
#

they got a pretty decent build aside from that

#

prebuilt ye?

#

trident?

#

or something

wintry gust
#

I built it myself

sudden turret
#

oh

#

so this is user error!

wintry gust
#

rofl

sudden turret
#

๐Ÿ˜„

#

placing blame

#

I had to

wintry gust
#

hahahaha

#

well then I say its my cat's fault lol

sudden turret
#

ok so you installed windows then

wintry gust
#

yup

sudden turret
#

fresh install?

#

like, completely clean ssd

wintry gust
#

ummmm not since I replaced the parts..

sudden turret
#

raw partition

#

well

#

you have usb?

wintry gust
#

a usb what?

sand falcon
#

Is it live boot time?

sudden turret
#

it's live boot time.

#

๐Ÿ˜„

sand falcon
#

Can you live boot windows?

sudden turret
#

download install / create a bootable win10 install

#

you can..

wintry gust
#

updated to latest windows

sudden turret
#

but its better with usb.. cause then you have it for backup

sand falcon
#

Why not do a quick test in Linux before reinstalling the whole OS?

wintry gust
#

I do not have a usb to install windows on

#

I used the cd

sudden turret
#

bruh

#

its 2020

#

how do you not have atleast 10.

#

in various sizes.

#

and areas of the house.

#

lol

sand falcon
#

If you can find a 4GB stick that will work

sudden turret
#

so if you had windows previously on drive, and did a huge part swap

#

that could be your issue

#

driver*

#

windows thinks you still have old hardware

wintry gust
#

uggggggggggg

sudden turret
#

but also says you're good to go

sand falcon
#

Could be that

sudden turret
#

which is confusing it

sand falcon
#

Can you find a 4GB USB?

wintry gust
#

I do not have one

sudden turret
#

but not to the point of BSOD

sand falcon
#

An SD card might also work

wintry gust
#

and I can't buy a new one till next month

#

I just spent like over 2 grand on this pc

sand falcon
#

Wow

sudden turret
#

so whats another 10 bucks

wintry gust
#

my account is at 35 cents atm lol

sand falcon
#

What are the specs? I'm curious now

sudden turret
#

yeah bob they got 2080ti/32gb ram

wintry gust
#

msi 2080 ti trio

sudden turret
#

its a beast.. aside from the cpu

sand falcon
#

What's the CPU

sudden turret
#

poor locked i5

sand falcon
#

Well

#

That's an oof

wintry gust
#

its getting upgraded later

sand falcon
#

8400?

wintry gust
#

I think so

sand falcon
#

oof

#

You are really gonna upgrade

sudden turret
#

you bought all this stuff andcant remember?

#

๐Ÿค”

#

I'm doubting you!

sand falcon
#

If you do upgrade though, you're gonna get a new motherboard, so that might fix the speed issues

wintry gust
#

Intel Core i5-8400 Coffee Lake 6-Core 2.8 GHz (4.0 GHz Turbo) LGA 1151

sand falcon
#

Yeah, that thing is bottlenecking you hard

wintry gust
#

I don't need to upgrade the motherboard from what my repair store said but I was thinking of upgrading to a newer msi gaming board

sudden turret
#

how did you go about picking all your parts?

wintry gust
#

I mean right this board is going for 160-180

sand falcon
#

If you want a CPU that matches that GPU, you would need a new mobo

wintry gust
#

I deffy do want to match my gpu

#

cause its a freaking 2080 ti

sudden turret
#

yeah def

#

did you have someone help you pick parts?

#

or did you just yolo oon pc partpicker

wintry gust
#

ya my computer guy picked the motherboard

sand falcon
#

I was thinking 4600 or 10700

sudden turret
#

well

wintry gust
#

the processor is what I had on hand already sitting brand new in a box

sudden turret
#

fire your computer guy

#

๐Ÿ˜„

sand falcon
#

11700 if it exists by then

sudden turret
#

oh

wintry gust
#

he's litteraly the best in the city lol

sudden turret
#

if you already had it

#

then he is saved.

#

SO THEN CALL HIM ABOUT INNERNET ISSUE

sand falcon
#

That explaind only having 6 threads in a top tier system ๐Ÿ™‚

sudden turret
#

๐Ÿ™‚

wintry gust
#

my city sucks... I literally have the best pc in the city.. no one in my city has this lol

sudden turret
#

are you sure abotu that

wintry gust
#

so finding a tech that has worked on this before.. is impossible

#

yup

sudden turret
#

that sounds kinda conceded ๐Ÿ˜›

#

are you amish?

#

lol

wintry gust
#

I live in amish area yes

sand falcon
#

You don't need one that has worked on it before, you just need one that is smart

sudden turret
#

ha!

wintry gust
#

literally 10 minutes from me lol

sudden turret
#

good guess.

sand falcon
#

I live in amish area yes
@wintry gust Maybe we're neighbors

sudden turret
#

OKokok

#

OHIO?

wintry gust
#

Pa

sudden turret
#

oof

sand falcon
#

Bah, PA

sudden turret
#

haha

wintry gust
#

yaaaa.... I hate it

sand falcon
#

Intel and PA

wintry gust
#

rofl

#

I say city but its really a town

#

my system has a good water coolant system too

sudden turret
#

lets see it

#

SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOOOOOOOOOOT

wintry gust
#

uhh I don't have the link for that one anymore

sudden turret
#

you got a phone

#

and a camera

wintry gust
#

OHH! ok sec

sudden turret
#

rofl

jagged ember
#

Lmao

sudden turret
#

I want real time pics!

wintry gust
#

Its a corsair water coolant

#

my phone does not like taking pictures of my pc in clarity lol

sudden turret
#

clean the lens ๐Ÿ˜„

wintry gust
#

is is clean! lol

sudden turret
#

so I have an idea

#

you say you reinstalled drivers and all that right

wintry gust
#

yup

sudden turret
#

did you ever get that one driver downloaded?

wintry gust
#

yes

#

and installed it

sudden turret
#

hm ok, so let do this

#

just completely unistall it

#

don't install anything (youwill lose internet)

#

then shutdown (not restart)

#

give it a few seconds, power up and let windows do it's thing.

#

can even go as far as disconnecting the cat 6 from the PC and then plugging it back in so it registers the change.

wintry gust
#

I think I found the problem....

#

I went to driver details...

sudden turret
#

auto-disabled?

wintry gust
#

notice it says amd

sudden turret
#

uninstall all of that

wintry gust
#

I also don't have auto disable gigabyte

sudden turret
wintry gust
#

I did do the duplex

sudden turret
#

so yeah I would uninstall any/all of your network adapters

#

shutdown, and then windows comes back it should install the proper driver

sand falcon
#

Saying AMD there is normal, but uninstall it anyway

stoic island
#

MSI

wintry gust
#

ya the disable gigabyte is not an option on my list

sudden turret
#

proper driver for you new mobo anyways

#

what was your old system that the drive was in?

wintry gust
#

ok so I'm going to ask a dumb question

#

how do I uninstall those...

sudden turret
#

no dumb questions, only silly answers.

wintry gust
#

cause the only thing its letting me uninstall is the network adapters in device manager

sudden turret
#

if you're in device manager

#

right click uninstall

wintry gust
#

uninstall ALL network adaptars?

sudden turret
#

id say the first three

#

wait

#

are you connected to a VPN?

#

through*

wintry gust
sudden turret
wintry gust
#

no but the driver is there

#

I uninstalled the vpn

#

but its still there

#

ok

#

do I need to download anything before I do that?

sudden turret
#

no

wintry gust
#

ok

#

uninstall then shutdown.. turn back on then what?

sudden turret
#

when you reboot, you might be without internet for a minute unstill windows installs the proper one

wintry gust
#

ok

#

brb!!!

sudden turret
#

if not you atleast have the msi lan driver already downloaded

wintry gust
#

yes I do

#

well

#

its a program driver not direct hardware driver

#

should i delete the driver?

#

thats my water coolant

buoyant flame
#

Box is techie

wintry gust
#

ok...

#

all done but now i have to update the driver it seems

sudden turret
#

update via windows update?

teal gazelle
#

I just bought an Western Digital SSD for my PC any recommendation what else I need to install it? I also have 1TB hard drive already but I want to use my hard drive as the slave memory

wintry gust
#

update from windows says display driver.. so prolly not

#

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. - Display - 26.20.12028.2

sudden turret
#

where does it say you need to update

wintry gust
#

well the fact i lost energy eff box

#

and everything else in the advanced section

#

and i'm still getting crap speeds

#

yup it had to go online to install

#

apparently the pro intel thing does not support this device

#

ya box apparently i can't get access to that disable gig speed so maybe it is windows?

#

got back to 500 though

minor wing
#

Do the screws on the back of this ssd have to go all the way in ?

sudden turret
#

what are you screwing it into.

minor wing
#

This

sudden turret
#

an ssd mount?

minor wing
#

Unless I was using the wrong screw

sudden turret
#

its a tiny screw

#

but looking in the photo that screw looks to be the correct one

minor wing
#

That one wouldnโ€™t go in all the way I tried a different small one and it worked

sudden turret
#

ah

minor wing
#

Thanks for the help ๐Ÿ™

sudden turret
#

perfect

oak lark
#

Iโ€™m trynna buy around 1000 pc should I save up a little bit more money for an RTX 2060 super or just go a bit cheaper and get a 1660

minor wing
#

My budget was around that and I got a normal 2060

oak lark
#

Alr thanks

sand falcon
#

2060 can fit just fine, you might even be able to get 2060s or a 2070s

stoic island
#

2070s is hard today

#

2060s is good

in <1000

If you can find a good sale, it's still possible, but yeah it would be tight

mellow basalt
#

Hey what panel type is the best for gaming?

#

IPS, TN, or VA?

stoic island
#

depends on rest of the specs

#

TN usually has highest refresh rates and lowest response time

#

but VA and IPS panels could have the same specs with better color

sullen spoke
#

ips best color, tn technically best for speed, there are plenty of great 144hz ips panels tho

#

most 240hz panels i see are tn

stoic island
#

Saw a 240hz ips panel a bit ago

sullen spoke
#

yeah they are starting to come out

Iโ€™m looking for a 144hz monitor

oos at b&h tho ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

mellow basalt

Especially Mr1111

stoic island

people just like to agree bc gud specs

mellow basalt
#

Iโ€™m just glad the price is still the same

stoic island
#

theres network usage

#

but doesn't show in the other tab :(

why block ipv4

mellow basalt

So howโ€™s everyone doing?

stoic island

Ipv4 is your local network address 182.168.x.x is local

#

Does no one else any good without the actual modem ip

stoic island
#

yes

sullen spoke
#

dangerous one is public ip, local should be ok

#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

eager chasm
stoic island
#

block both

#

because why not

eager chasm
#

192.168.1.1 in a web browser will take me to my router settings

sullen spoke
#

better safe than sorry

stoic island
#

yes

sullen spoke
#

ahh i correct my grammar

#

gosh theo plays too much minecraft

even then you can honey pot your outward facing IP

that will show those filthy plebs

sand falcon

192.168.0.0/16 ips means nothing, it's fine to share

hey guys wanna know my ip?

stoic island

vivid coral

My friend asked me to put a budget build together for him around $1,000

#

Can you guys just pick at it before I give it to him make sure it's good

cursive wharf
#

@vivid coral few small issues
-SSD isnt NVMe, just SATA M2
-Case is meh price and has poor airflow
-PSU has coil whine issues

#

also GPU, if not streaming/video recording then get 5700XT

wintry gust
#

Ohh boy.. ok I got off the phone with my service provider... they finally said... its NOT your pc... I don't know why the tech kept saying that.. @sudden turret

vivid coral
#

I know he'll have to update the BIOS

wintry gust
#

Also they only gave me a cat 5e cable....

cursive wharf
#

also probs not, BIOS is updated from factory. Only way to get old BIOS is from old stock, which is very hard to come by now a days due to being like 10 months since BIOS release and stock being beasically non-existent for some months since the virus

vivid coral
#

Ok

#

How's the cooler master q300L

#

As a case

#

And that way it saves little money to change that PSU

It is connected to fan controller which controls 4 fans so it's ok?

eager chasm

It's for floppy drives

#

Ancient boomer tech

ah -_- thanks

eager chasm

You really shouldn't be connecting molex to 6pin adaptors

#

๐Ÿค”

burnt dawn
#

Well Rosewill V500 has fan hub controller

eager chasm
#

Oh you are powering a fan hub with molex, usually rosewill hubs are powered with Sata power

burnt dawn
#

That is different but I think I got it resolved. Thanks

eager chasm
#

Ah well good luck with the rest of the build

burnt dawn
#

Why do they still include floppy headers -_-

#

its 2020

eager chasm

Well it's not a header, it's a power cable, and some people still need them

Not many, but some

I want to replace my motherboard that went bad.I now have a gigabyte AX 370 Gaming 3. Could I get a better motherboard for $150 or less?

Used for audio production.

sand falcon
#

What CPU?

#

Also, are you using motherboard audio or do you have a pcie or external card?

simple shard
#

External

#

CPU is Amd Razon three 1200 Iโ€™d like to upgrade that also in the ram is DDR four 2/16 GB. Would like to be able to upgrade the RAM to at least 64

sand falcon
#

What speed ram?

simple shard
#

I think itโ€™s 2400 Iโ€™ll have to look when I get home

cursive wharf
#

R3 1200 but want 64GB RAM? What use case you got there for the PC?

#

Only useful use case of that configuration I can think of for that is NAS

sand falcon
#

CPU is Amd Razon three 1200 Iโ€™d like to upgrade that

#

Audio production can be memory hungry if you have long works with lots of tracks

#

If it's 2400MHz, I would recommend getting a new kit entirely

#

Do you need wifi?

simple shard
#

No Wi-Fi. I just record my own stuff.

sand falcon
#

You have ethernet then?

simple shard
#

No, I just use Internet to get updates

sand falcon
#

Do you connect over wireless or with a wire?

simple shard
#

Wireless

sand falcon
#

Cool, so you need wifi

simple shard
#

Yes

sand falcon
#

Good news is the cheapest b450 that supports more than 64GB of ram has wifi

simple shard
#

Thanks Iโ€™ll check it out

sand falcon
#

When will you be looking at getting a new CPU?

simple shard
#

Not sure

Okay

@rocky kayak Depends

#

If you want budget with wifi, it's great

rocky kayak
#

Yea

#

With it run good for a while?

#

@sand falcon is it good for the price?

sand falcon
#

It's not the best motherboard, but it's decent for budget builds

Just don't pair it up with a 3900 or some such

what mobo

tribal tendon
#

How do I know if my 24 pin is connected

stoic island
#

push it in

tribal tendon
#

When I pull it is hard but I never heard a Snap

#

Or. A pop when Iโ€™m connected

#

It

sullen spoke
#

them 24pins be tricky sometime, i think there is a clip on the side of the connector

stoic island
#

24pin doesn't make an audible noise like ram

#

theres a clip

#

you can usually feel it click tho

tribal tendon
#

Oh ok

#

I can show u a pic

#

Here

#

@stoic island did u see it

sudden turret
#

if there is no gap between the connector and mobo, you're good

#

if you see a gap, you need to push it in more.

#

you can use your fingertips and hold the mobo so you're not flexing it to much

tribal tendon
#

@sudden turret

sudden turret
#

yeah that's not pushed in all the way

#

keep going

#

you're halfway there.

tribal tendon
#

@sudden turret did u see the pic

#

The other one I sent

sudden turret
#

yeah

tribal tendon
#

What do you think

sudden turret
#

i needs to be flush.

tribal tendon
#

One more push

#

Itโ€™s super close

sudden turret
#

if its like that on both sides

#

you'll be good
