What would a good budget for a pc build based around the 3080(or whatever AMD brings out)?
deep skiff

stoic island
Nachos I think they meant the whole build
tawdry lance
Yeah just the whole pc build
stoic island
nachos just wait for when I'm a mod >:D

next kestrel
prices might drop
little osprey
And AMDs new GPU might be better
*don't quote me on that, I haven't really followed the new gpus much
In my opinion, I'd go older gen for now.
My forcast is that the 3000 series and the new AMDs will sellout quickly like the b550 motherboards did
I'm getting a 5700XT myself
little osprey
A 2070 will do
little leaf
it?
next kestrel
rt minecraft can be handled by a 2080 super
and if u buy used
u could prob find a few under 500$
little osprey
Nor do I want/need RTX
little osprey
I have a gigabyte 570
next kestrel
does everyone have a spare 500$ to spend on a gpu?
little osprey
I spent $200 on my 570
next kestrel
buying a 144hz monitor is useless
if you want to ray trace
also used 2060 is more common
you havent bought used parts have you
little osprey
Oh...another reason I'm not getting a 3000 series
I'm using a tv, not a gaming monitor
next kestrel
find a used 5600xt for under 200
little osprey
A 5600xt is worse than 5700xt for the value
next kestrel
you can play minecraft vr with a 2070
little osprey
Minecraft has VR?
next kestrel
literally
vr can be run on a 1660 super
to run high settings, you need nothing better than a 2070
if you dont NEED a 3070, there's no reason to really buy it
little osprey
Everyone needs a 3070 in their life
They just don't know it
next kestrel
ok then get it?
if you know you need it
don't ask us lmao
why are you asking us a question you know the answer to
so funny i forgot to laugh
my bad
that statement was just as important as your entire question

I recently installed corsair vengeance pro ram, 3600 hrz, So I enabled XMP profiles through my bios and now my computer won't boot at all
I can't even change it in the bios, it seems to disconnect my M and K after a few secs of being in it randomly
It was working fine before I enabled the XMP profile, though it was running at a slower speed than what it is capable of
Oh... Well this ain't good lol

@coarse coral I believe it was you that helped me a fair bit earlier this week with RGB related issues. I'm having an altogether different issue right now and I have no idea where to turn - can I ask about my build specific tech problem here?
knotty drum
What software are you using?
lusty glacier
Me?
lusty glacier
Ah, it was an x570 board not turning off LEDs in sleep or shut down, and bios not accepting the changes to Stealth Mode. We resolved it (mostly) but now I've removed AI Suite 3 or whatever it's called and my CPU doesn't seem to recognize that I'm in a game so I'm getting 5 FPS.
So iCUE is what I need to have for my Corsair fans/AIO, apart from that no other RGB software.
I fresh installed Windows this morning before work, home now and I swapped the USB for the AIO from the Commander Pro and directly plugged it into the motherboard again, no change.
knotty drum
Ah ok did you try update it’s firmware? try to check if there’s any software update that needs to be done.
lusty glacier
Firmware for which? The CPU?
knotty drum
Yes and mobo
coarse coral
@coarse coral I believe it was you that helped me a fair bit earlier this week with RGB related issues. I'm having an altogether different issue right now and I have no idea where to turn - can I ask about my build specific tech problem here?
@lusty glacier yeah sure
lusty glacier
Here's the timeline:
lusty glacier
Day one you helped me, we mostly resolved the issue.
Day two I bought a Corsair H150i XT AIO and hooked it up. Gaming and everything else worked fine, temps were acceptable.
Day three my six QL120 fans arrived. I hooked up the Commander Pro and plugged the USB cable from the Lighting Node Core into the Commander Pro. I could control fan speeds but not RGB for the fans. I unplugged the AIO from the USB header on the motherboard and plugged it into the Commander Pro, then I plugged the Lighting Node Core directly into the motherboard. I could control the RGB and the fans and the AIO. Did no gaming so not sure if this is where the issue started.
Day four I noticed the AIO missing from iCUE, so I searched my PC for any traces of software that might cause conflict and I found AI Suite 3 and removed it. Loaded up a game, was getting 5 FPS (WoW), unplayable. Did some googling and found no results, went to bed.
Day five (today) I woke up early, reinstalled Windows, and went to work. I got home and plugged the AIO back into the motherboard and I can see it in iCUE. I plugged the Lighting Node Core back into the Commander Pro and I can no longer control the RGB (but that's a problem for another day, my biggest concern is the CPU performance.)
Here we are.
The computer is completely fine at every low resource task - I'm chatting with you on it right now. As soon as I load a game though it feels like it severely undervolts.
coarse coral
do you have any other programs that monitor temps launched?
lusty glacier
Looking at system resources when WoW is open, only <5% of the CPU is in use and iCUE takes 50% of the GPU.
Right now no, but iCUE was monitoring. Speccy was matching the readouts.
coarse coral
uncheck enable sdk
coarse coral
lusty glacier
Exactly that setup, yes
coarse coral
lusty glacier
Except LNC (not pro, Core) connects with USB headers and the CP doesn't want to read it - no big deal I'll buy a LNP
Yup, PWM into CP
coarse coral
did you update the commander pro firmware
lusty glacier
Yeah
coarse coral
lusty glacier
I don't know what proper voltages and stuff are supposed to be... if I give you readouts from bios would that help?
(I didn't manually change anything but looking into Ai Suite, it may have screwed with it)
coarse coral
Day four I noticed the AIO missing from iCUE did you reseat the usb thats actually connected to the pump?
like, really push it in
knotty drum
Can you take a pic of your mobo and cpu please?
coarse coral
mine disappeared because it wasnt pushed in all the way once
knotty drum
I’m curious
lusty glacier
Yeah, it's visible now that it's plugged back into the CP
Sorry back into the motherboard*
It was invisible when plugged into the CP.
coarse coral
that shouldnt be happening
😓
is the commander pro properly powered
its sata right?
knotty drum
Dang
lusty glacier
And the AIO is definitely running
coarse coral
id unplug and replug everything and double check your connections
knotty drum
^
coarse coral
also when you go to icue and see the commander pro what are the voltages
fickle cradle
do you guys think this is worth $1,100???
lusty glacier
I can do that again. At the same time I'll unplug the LNC from power entirely and rule it out as the culprit
coarse coral
id try to connect as many things to the commander pro as you can
I have my corsair aio connected directly to the mobo usb
lusty glacier
I'd know if I cracked or shorted the motherboard, right? Like it just wouldn't work at all?
knotty drum
Same my Corsair is connected directly to my mobo
coarse coral
my two lighting nodes take up both my usb slots on the commander pro
i think?
i cant remember lol
knotty drum
Wait a min you did crack your mobo???
whole stag
Huh
lusty glacier
I doubt it, but I'm not fond of the two-point attachment with AMD
limpid snow
Only thing missing now is the 3080
earnest olive
@fickle cradle hi, prebuilt seller here, if that's new i would price it at around $850 custom, 1000 prebuilt
1100 is quite expensive for those specs
if you are looking for a prebuilt try to negotiate it down
if it's used i would say 800 is a fair price
850 if it's used but flawless condition, just cleaned, fresh thermal paste, etc
fickle cradle
@earnest olive Thanks! that helps alot. i just dont really know what systems are worth or not worth buying.. thank you
earnest olive
lusty glacier
If there’s a crack in the motherboard it’s not visible, so again, I doubt it. I went over all the cables again, disconnecting and reconnecting, and removed the GPU and reinserted it for good measure.
I’m in the bios and the VDDCR CPU voltage is 1.488 V (3700x), and it’s telling me the CPU fan is spinning at 3947 and the PCH(?) fan is at 2230. I think it’s getting pump readings from the H150i.
EZ system tuning is set to normal, AI Overclock is set to DOCP, TPU is “Keep Current Settings” but has options for TPU 1 and TPU 2.
CPU readings: 3600Mhz frequency, 38C, BCLK freq 100Mhz, core volatile 1.480, ratio 36x.
Bios version 2606 (I’ll check the website to ensure it’s the latest)
2606 is from last month, confirmed latest.

Once more, I need help
stoic island
Yes?
ionic veldt
After installing my ram and enabling XMP, my computer won't boot
stoic island
oh fun, reset cmos time
ionic veldt
I've tried updating my bios after resetting my bios, but it won't work
I have a gigabyte Z390 Aorus pro wifi motherboard, intel-9700K cpu, and used to have corsair vengeance 2666 33 GB ram
These were two 16 GB sticks
stoic island
Tried reset cmos via battery method yet?
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000025368/processors.html
ionic veldt
Yeah
I now have four 3600 Corsair vengeance pros, 64GB total
I can't get my comp to boot unless I settle for the default speed
stoic island
Try manually setting the voltage and all the timings to what they should be
and if that doesn't work, contact Corsair for a RMA
ionic veldt
Oh one more thing I should mention
It seems if I run with just two of the sticks, it is able to run the speed
But when I try with four, it just takes a dump
lusty glacier
@coarse coral ...what if it's a GPU issue? The fans don't start to spin at all when I boot a game.
coarse coral
is iCUE the ONLY app monitoring temps and fan speeds?
stoic island
oof that might be a motherboard thing, the more sticks you run the lower the speed you can run most of the time
but, is it 2 specific sticks that can't do xmp or
lusty glacier
I installed Afterburner and Ryzen Master 10 minutes ago
ionic veldt
And no
I interchanged them and tested twice
I even took my datavac and cleaned all of the ram slots
stoic island
for example, you can tell on the qvl
can't run everything at 4 sticks xmp
I wonder if it's a board memory traces/imc thing
stoic island
QVL only means tested, if it's not on the QVL, they haven't tested it.
https://download.gigabyte.com/FileList/Memory/mb_memory_z390-aorus-pro-wifi_191113.pdf
ionic veldt
I finally got my to start at a slower speed again lol, I can at least use my find on page now
It would seem this isn't a tested memory
I checked asus motherboards out of curiosity as well
Doesn't seem to be there either
MY ram's code is CMW32GX4M2Z3600C18
stoic island
Anyways have you tried manually setting freq and timings?
ionic veldt
No, but I did just figure something out that worries me
So this is my exact memory kit
And I noticed it does say that it is XMP certified
But the thing is; There is another kit for way more
This is it
So I was thinking, is that why it isn't able to run the whole XMP thing? and if so; I should probably return my ram
Also, I did look at the indivual speeds XMP turned on, and they matched the specs I saw online
stoic island
that's 2 sticks of 16gb vs 4 sticks of 16gb
stoic island
uhh okay
ionic veldt
But because they have a kit for more, does that mean that isn't able to run it with four and XMP enabled perhaps?
ionic veldt
Oh I see, that difference could definitely jack up the price...
I have no damn clue then...
stoic island
Anyways can you try setting frequency to 3200mhz, and timings to 16-18-18-18-38?
ionic veldt
I will try, why those specific timings though may I ask?
stoic island
tCL, tRCDWR&tRCDRD, tRP, tRAS
Because I'm thinking if it can't run at higher frequency, so try lower it down to 3200mhz and common XMP timings
ionic veldt
Okay, i kept the default timings
But it would seem setting the multiplier to 3500 let me boot
Time to try again I suppose
It works on that confirmed
lusty glacier
@coarse coral I ran some benchmarks, Cinebench is excellent but Heaven is reaaaaally bad. The problem is definitely the GPU - which is strange, it worked fine before I made the changes I was talking about earlier.
Any idea how I can ensure my GPU is running properly? Drivers are up to date
ionic veldt
@stoic island well, thank you so much for the help anyways
Im gonna settle for the 3500 speed
stoic island
Fair enough
coarse coral
@lusty glacier drivers, can try to double check the psu power cables too, gpus can still get like 5-10 fps in heaven through pci power even if no pcie power cables are connected
lusty glacier
hmm
The cable is definitely connected but I wonder if I pinched it. I'll check it out soon, replace it with a different cable if I have one to be safe
It's my old 1060 I'm using until 3080 is available. It's been fine until now =/
stoic wyvern
so i just finsihed building the pc what do i do now
ionic veldt
Plug it in
ionic veldt
Typically from there, you will have to put your usb as the boot
stoic wyvern
also i dont think its picking up the m.2 drive
ionic veldt
After that, it will automatically go into the windows 10 installation process
When you first build your pc, your storage will [have to be formatted in order to work
stoic wyvern
so like in the bios it says not presnet
ionic veldt
Is your usb drive itself showing up?
stoic wyvern
yea
ionic veldt
Like I stated before, your ACTUAL M2 storage will not be usable until you format it
stoic wyvern
so first i need to go to windows
ionic veldt
Set your usb as primary in your boot order
And make it your boot drive in the process
ionic veldt
Not a key, the installation media you created on the hard disk
But have your key ready
stoic wyvern
no like in the boot priotiry it says usb key
ionic veldt
I suppose then
ionic veldt
Hard disk
stoic wyvern
so the uefi usb hard disk?
lusty glacier
@coarse coral ....you were right. The cable dislodged from the psu and I missed it. Reconnecting and testing
coarse coral
lol
ionic veldt
Just try different boots until your windows 10 installation pops up
stoic wyvern
yessss
ionic veldt
Got it?
stoic wyvern
YES IT GOT INTO THE WINDOWS SCREEN
ionic veldt
Good
lusty glacier
Omg. That was it. Smooth as butter now.
I'm so stupid.
coarse coral
well glad that fixed
dont worry
same thing happened to me
with my 1080 ti
lol
i forgot to plug in both pcie on the psu and was getting like 10-20 fps
lusty glacier
Now I've just got to figure out why the USB ports on the Commander Pro don't work with the H150i or the Lighting Node Core.
coarse coral
tawdry bone
Weird...looks like my message got removed.
coarse coral
my node pro doesnt show the node directly on icue
lusty glacier
Was it a link @tawdry bone?
coarse coral
you just have to set it up via lighting channel
tawdry bone
@lusty glacier nah
coarse coral
and pick your ql rgb fan
tawdry bone
All good though.
lusty glacier
I have, on both channels independently and simultaneously, it has no effect on the RGB
You're using a Lighting Node Pro or a Lighting Node Core though?
coarse coral
Lighting Node PRO
lusty glacier
Ah yeah the QLs come with a Core
coarse coral
is THE FIRST port on the core occupied?
lusty glacier
It doesn't have the "RGB Channel" plug, the little two prong or whatever, instead it has a 9 pin USB
I've tried on both, right now I think it's plugged into the port closer to the middle
lusty glacier
Ohhh yeah it has six, all six are occupied by fans
coarse coral
okaty
lusty glacier
Honestly I think the Commander Pro or the Core or both are faulty. I should be able to plug the H150i 9 pin USB directly into the Commander Pro and have access to it, but it doesn't show up in iCUE if I do.
coarse coral
and you made sure the power connections from core to sata and sata to psu is connected snuggly? xD
lusty glacier
Most definitely - it's a four outlet SATA, one is in an SSD, one is in the CP, one is in the LNC, and one is in the AIO.
So it's for sure plugged into the PSU lol 😅
coarse coral
hmm
autumn wolf
firmware is updated?
coarse coral
so the rgb isnt working and the aio isnt showing up?
lusty glacier
The AIO is showing up now that I've plugged it back into the motherboard, but the Lighting Node Core is plugged into the Commander Pro via 9 pin USB and RGB access is unavailable
coarse coral
are there ANY other corsair products messing up?
lusty glacier
When I plugged the Lighting Node Core into the motherboard directly, it showed up as an independent device in iCUE
Nope
coarse coral
commander pro firmware is 0.9.212?
lusty glacier
Yup
coarse coral
so just rgb, you're able to control fan speed just fine?
lusty glacier
Yeah, Commander Pro allows me to control fan speed
And I can control the three ML fans via the H150i interface
coarse coral
the sata connected to the commander pro
is the same line sharing power to any other devices
lusty glacier
Yes
lusty glacier
Psu -----> Commander Pro ------> Lighting Node Core ------> AIO ------> SSD
coarse coral
on the psu
lusty glacier
I can do that
lusty glacier
Yeah
lusty glacier
Yeah - which on paper is way more than sufficient, but I'll try a new one
lusty glacier
That’s what I mean
coarse coral
😠 i help everyone

any known bad side effects of using a molex>sata power adapter for drives?

lusty glacier
New SATA hooked up, booting
coarse coral
k
lusty glacier
No change
lusty glacier
Ignore the bad cable management, CableMod hasn’t delivered yet. RGB on everything but the QL works.
Sure does, but the problem is it isn’t connected to a lighting channel, it’s connected to the USB port on the other side
coarse coral
sorry im a bit confused, so its lit up in that pic via USB ON MOTHERBOARD right?
but on commander pro its not lighting at all
lusty glacier
The Commander Pro is connected to the motherboard. The Lighting Node Core is connected to the Commander Pro via 9 pin USB.
coarse coral
and both the lighting node core and commander pro connected to the sata power right?
lusty glacier
(The Pro, the one you have, has an RGB/LED 2ish pin connector that goes into the Commander Pro as a lighting channel. The Core, the one I have, doesn’t have that output - it only outputs in 9 pin USB)
Yeah, separate cables now
Separate SATA cables now
lusty glacier
Strange right?
In any case, I wanted to add that I truly appreciate everything you've done for me and I owe you a beer. Can I PayPal you like $20 for your time?
coarse coral
did you happen to have another lighting node core?
if you bought the two 3 packs
also you can try to switch like 1 with 6 on the lighting node core to see if the series connection is broken because previous slot 1 was weird
lusty glacier
Nah, I thought I’d save some money by buying one thee pack and three individuals
coarse coral
ah i see
lusty glacier
No change in iCUE. I know for sure the LNC is getting power because when I tried running with it unplugged the LEDs were just off, not white, no light at all
If my motherboard had three internal USB headers this wouldn’t be a problem =/
coarse coral
hahaha
lusty glacier
Does your LNP have six RGB fan ports?
coarse coral
yes
lusty glacier
I may just grab one of those if it's QL compatible.
You also seem to know a lot about the RGB issues, is it like that on all motherboards or did you make the mistake of buying ASUS as well?
little osprey
I need help with my GPU
Brand new, LED, Fans work, plugged in.
The screen says no signal
I don't have windows installed yet.
I also dont have a USB windows or a DVD to put the disks in
I also have new parts like a motherboard and new CPU installed aswell
coarse coral
lusty glacier
that cam with my LL120 3 pack
@coarse coral Yeah, the Lighting Node PRO. Mine's a little different
little osprey
well I tried
lusty glacier
@little osprey
coarse coral
the LNP is something else
lusty glacier
Is your HDMI cable plugged into the motherboard HDMI port or the one on the GPU?
coarse coral
but yeah it may help you
lusty glacier
Ohh okay
lusty glacier
but yeah it may help you
@coarse coral I'll buy one and try it, worst case I have a spare piece of RGB stuff
coarse coral
LNP doesnt have usb tho
lusty glacier
Yeah it has the RGB connector which we know works
coarse coral
you can try
lusty glacier
@little osprey does your GPU have more than one HDMI port?
lusty glacier
I tried lol
coarse coral
hahahaha
lusty glacier
I'll try again
little osprey
It has 1 HDMI but 1 Displayport and 2 others
No DVI stuff
Probably other display ports
lusty glacier
And you've got it seated and the power cable is plugged into both the GPU and the PSU, and even if you don't have Windows you've got a HDD/SSD installed?
little osprey
A new SSD aswell
coarse coral
I need help with my GPU
Brand new, LED, Fans work, plugged in.
The screen says no signal
I don't have windows installed yet.
I also dont have a USB windows or a DVD to put the disks in
@little osprey make sure you only have one monitor/tv plugged in first.
little osprey
I do
little osprey
Ah
coarse coral
low quality cables wont work very well
little osprey
I am reusing a PSU
coarse coral
ive had hdmi cables that couldnt work on monitors
lusty glacier
@coarse coral something super strange for you: Commander Pro on ASUS motherboards semi regularly disconnects from USB and reconnects, and your speakers do the "do do do doooOO" every time. The fix? Plug the Commander Pro into an NZXT fan hub. Plug the NZXT fan hub into the 9 pin USB on the motherboard.
lusty glacier
I hate Corsair but I love their lights.
@little osprey do you have an old GPU you can try out?
coarse coral
have you updated the motherboard usb drivers?
lusty glacier
Yeah
coarse coral
chipsets too?
lusty glacier
It's a known issue with this combination and I'll fix it eventually
I think so
coarse coral
go download the amd/intel chipset of your system
little osprey
I lied I had 2 ports and
Sadly my old GPU ports shorted out
Luckily on my old motherboard
lusty glacier
Ahhh no :c
little osprey
The fan works in all and LED but not sure if it's in all the way on the motherboard
lusty glacier
Oh yeah I updated the chipset this morning, I see the folder in my downloads
little osprey
Middle fan of the GPU is running a lot harder than the ones on the side so
Dont think that's normal so
coarse coral
@lusty glacier go to device manager in windows and see if anything is showing as needing attention
lusty glacier
@coarse coral if it needs attention it has like a yellow signifier, right? If so, all clear
little osprey
And asked me to load in software
lusty glacier
@little osprey it happens, we all miss something now and then
lusty glacier
DVD/CD/BluRay drive
lusty glacier
Sorry for your luck
coarse coral
@lusty glacier anyways dont know how else to help you, seems like the commander pro might not be responding well to windows usb drivers or something
lusty glacier
You've done a lot already and I appreciate it greatly, I'll likely RMA the Commander Pro because it feels like the USB passthrough isn't connected properly
For now though, the PC works.
celest horizon
Sounds like an rgb problem
lusty glacier
And it looks alright all white
celest horizon
coarse coral
@lusty glacier did the memory rgb during power off get fixed ?
lusty glacier
Yeah c:
coarse coral
what fixed it
little osprey
nice PC
lusty glacier
Honestly? No idea. One of the things you tole me to do.
If I had to guess, it was removing Armory/etc and running Aura cleaner.
coarse coral
ah ok
little osprey
Also one more thing, could I possibly use a laptop to download said software? I personally don't think it'll work but definitely worth a shot
lusty glacier
Thanks @little osprey c: it'll have a 3080 later this month, then it's done. And custom cables in a few days.
fathom needle
can someone here give me some PC upgrade recommandations?
lusty glacier
Yeah man, use a laptop to create a bootable Windows 10 install USB stick
little osprey
With a pre owned wal mart USB
lusty glacier
That works just fine
lusty glacier
It just needs to be greater than 8GB, and keep in mind it'll delete whatever is on it
little osprey
It has 60 gigs
lusty glacier
Nope, just google "create windows install media USB"
little osprey
If I have a code?
little osprey
Windows 10 pro
lusty glacier
Yup
lusty glacier
Bro 20 years ago I thought finding Windows or dropping cash on a key was going to be the hardest part of a build. I'm 30 now, and in college, and it feels like every organization is like "Hey would you like a Windows 10 key with your coffee this evening?"
coarse coral
@lusty glacier there is one more thing you can try
this helped me 100% with my icue when i had no where else to go
lusty glacier
...OHHHH. C... U....E
coarse coral
lol
sullen spoke
coarse coral
mmm okay
lusty glacier
Tbf I'm just happy that it wasn't a damaged component and instead it was my own stupidity not noticing the power cable had come out of the PSU.
coarse coral
so when you rma or return the commander pro
mention that windows keeps droping the device and that even tho fan controlling works the usb ports aren't functioning/detecting correctly
lusty glacier
Will do
little osprey
What’s the lowest CPU I should get if I’m planning on getting a 3080 without having it bottleneck?

little osprey
sorry thought this was general
keen glen
can someone help me build a ryzen gaming pc
little osprey
Wait, the Ryzen 5 3600X?
stoic island
?
little osprey
To the answer from earlier, about a cpu to pair with the 3080 without bottleneck issues
keen glen
can someone help me build a ryzen gaming pc
stoic island
help with what part
keen glen
everything
keen glen
1500
stoic island
where do you live
keen glen
nevada
stoic island
wifi or ethernet
coarse coral
does it have to be immediate
little osprey
Lol
keen glen
lol
stoic island
3080 will likely fit
little osprey
are you sure it can’t wait til October?
visual moat
I can't wait till October's new Ryzens...
keen glen
it prob can but it prob wont cause im not the one buying it i just have to tell the person buying it what i want basicallyt
stoic island
3080 fits in their budget tho
coarse coral
or nov or late nov for big navi from amd
little osprey
If their benchmarks aren’t lying I’d rather spend the extra for a 3080
stoic island
3080 is in what a week?
keen glen
ya
visual moat
Or November I guess
stoic island
wasn't it like sept 19th
keen glen
17th
little osprey
I think so
keen glen
i thought
stoic island
17th
coarse coral
17th for 3080
keen glen
ya and how much is the 3080
stoic island
700$
keen glen
yes
coarse coral
this is actually a really bad time to build a pc xD
keen glen
why
coarse coral
nvidia discontinued their 2000 series gpus to prepare the 3000 series debut so 2000 series is overpriced
stoic island
3080 is gonna be released in time tho
keen glen
ok well im definately gonna wait a week
coarse coral
amd is coming out with their new cpus in the coming two months so you may be killing yourself later with a amd ryzen 3600 purchase
stoic island
I'm tired of telling people to wait another 2 months tbh
been doing that for the past half a year :P
gonna make a list now :P
coarse coral
@stoic island mike said its safe for me to say that if 3080 sells out which it prob will on first day, next resupply was around mid oct to end of oct.
keen glen
well ya i dont have 2 months
stoic island
Yea it's sad
so your only choice is to snag a FE early or something directly from aib website
was it zotac that had their own store?
keen glen
FE early?
granite delta
Please answer this question
stoic island
something along these lines
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/f8RgDx
granite delta
Can you buy pc parts at brandsmart
stoic island
no idea what a brandsmart is
granite delta
My parents are bugging me saying it’s better to buy it there
But I already checked there is no parts there
keen glen
ya thats good what about fans and coolers
granite delta
They are on the verge of blacking out
keen glen
no need for fans?
stoic island
Case comes with 3 preinstalled
keen glen
oh bet
stoic island
CPU comes with a good enough stock cooler
keen glen
deal
stoic island
@granite delta I mean it looks like appliances and I guess they group all electronics together to be sold at the same place
it's like if they asked you to go to microcenter for a fridge
keen glen
how about i switch the cpu to a ryzen 7 3700x
keen glen
no need to go higher?
stoic island
if you want 2 more cores for whatever reason, and you feel comfortable spending 100$ more for that reason
like maybe video editing
keen glen
oh well then no
granite delta
@granite delta I mean it looks like appliances and I guess they group all electronics together to be sold at the same place
@stoic island hm
stoic island
There's your answer
granite delta
I highly doubt they have pc parts only pc’s prebuilt
stoic island
mhm
granite delta
My parents keep telling me to wait for us to go there tmr
But I already know they don’t have parts there
So it’ll just be delaying the shipping if I don’t order the parts from newegg rn
little osprey
So... I know there’s not too much info out yet about 3080 but would water cooling be the best for it?
little osprey
In2?
stoic island
Liquid Nitrogen of course
little osprey
That’s too complicated, where can I find a cheap fish tank?
little osprey
Hmmm...
stoic island
Hey, you asked for best, I gave you the best options :P
stoic island
ya?
little osprey
So when you install windows
Does it go to a SSD or hard drive
If one is available
stoic island
iirc it lets you choose?
little osprey
It should let you choose from your bios
It's pre put in
I made my own PC
And
I dont have software for my uhh, GPU but
I dont have windows installed so I cant see but
stoic island
..?
little osprey
Is it possible to grab my old SSD with windows probably on it
stoic island
what do you mean by pre-put-in
stoic island
uhh you can, but windows might get screwy about getting slapped in a new motherboard
little osprey
Ah
stoic island
what exactly is pre put in
stoic island
Like windows is installed already?
little osprey
And then move said SSD
Ok so, I can be confusing
Severely
Basically, windows already installed in said SSD
stoic island
There's no reason to install windows using a different system directly onto the ssd
still roostBOT
whey#8593 has been warned
stoic island
so whenever possible
@gaunt zinc
you should go and straight up install via media creation tool
little osprey
I uhh
stoic island
on a clean drive
stoic island
take a moment
little osprey
In a bad situation
stoic island
organize your words
stoic island
It's alright, don't just press enter without thinking though
little osprey
Brand new SSD, motherboard, cpu all that
New GPU came in today
It runs, fans on LED no signal, I'm guessing because
Software needs to be installed to GPU
For it to run
I don't posses a Disc tray
stoic island
Even without software or drivers, it'll still run as a generic display adapter
Any debug LED lights?
stoic island
these kind
stoic island
usually around where the 24pin is
little osprey
I dont see it
Do you want the link for the motherboard
Ok so
LED Debug
Uhh, it doesnt show that exactly
Numbers
Dont think that's it
stoic island
Different mobo manufacturers do it differently, some have debug codes, some debug LEDs
Consult your manual to figure out what the numbers mean in your case :D @little osprey
little osprey
yes
odd crypt
@stoic island
stoic island
Hai
stoic island
Looks fine
odd crypt
Ok
little osprey
I'm guessing I'd have to find something that says "Debug"
stoic island
It can be easier to find the online version so you can control f through it
They can also be called boot codes
So look for anything that has to do with debug or codes in the manual
little osprey
I do have the manual and
Both software setup and quick installation
Only 2 that came with it, still have the box though
stoic island
With the motherboard?
little osprey
Closest thing was DR debug but I'm going to try googling
stoic island
What motherboard is it
stoic island
Yea google your motherboard and find the online manual, and just ctrl f through it
On mobile with crappy data so I'll try looking for it, but might take me a while
stoic island
I have 1 bar
At best
;(
Okay I give up, it doesn't load the support page
You're gonna be on your own for a bit :(
stoic island
I have no idea how ASRock does it
You said there was a display with a code on it, so I assume that's the boot code thing
little osprey
Yeah dt. Debug
It's more of how you can read it
I can't see directly
I can see the numbers
What numbers come up
10
I have "Quick installation guide" and "Software setup guide"
Only 2 books that came with
Other items are screws or stickers
Do you have other ram
Like another CPU
I meant
Me with
Pops
Oops
Memory
Sorry took me
A moment
To realize
Sorry, uh
no
What's wrong
Only have 1
Also have a USB stick but probably wont do anything
Hang on
What slots are the ram in
Last slot
Next to the 24 pin
It said the same before I think
Move it to the first one
Not last
Alright
Wait I'm double checking
What cpu and what speed ram
My CPU is a Ryzen 7 3400x
8RAM
Speed
Sait
Wait wait
Hold on
Like how most say 3200mhz
Ryzen 7 3700x* sorry
what
That's fine
Sorry
Try the first slot if not it should be the second dot
Try those two fixed
Alright
Ping me when done
@little osprey put it in both
Still says 10
I will say that it's not new
As in I used it before
Might be bad ram
huh
Used it before
8GB
Worked perfectly fine
Look at the motherboard
(Different PC)
For the battery
It's a silver battery
Its under
The uhh
Thing
Graphics card
Yes
No no
Uhh
Like
Oh heat sink
The thing has a layer
On top
Of of the motherboard
Try finding the 3rd button
On back
stoic island
O fancy it's got a clear cmos button
little osprey
I don't know how those work
I think you press it that's it
It has a cmos restart logo
So I guess
Should of uhh
Turned off the PC
Either way is fine
it exploded
Wat
joking, sorry I need some humor
Ooh okay I was gonna say
Stressfull
Ok so
I'm a dunce to this so my brain is like
no
But anywho
Do I turn it on
Did yuh press it
Yes
It just stayed off
Okay go ahead and try turning on
Only thing going is the mobo LED
stoic island
Can y'all check the documentation for the clear cmos button
little osprey
It worked before
stoic island
Maybe you'll have to let it sit for a few ninutes
stoic island
Lmao
little osprey
Yeah
Literally says "page 19"
Shows cpu being put in
So one last check
Where is the ram plugged into right now
Second slot
Okay idea
Turn off pc
Unplug it
Press power button while unplugged
Then after that
Press the clear cmos button
Then leave it alone for 5 minutes
Then plug it back in and try
Unplug the memory, turn it on
And clear
Right?
No
Leave the ram in it
Unplug the power from the wall
Oh
Ohhhh
Lol I wasn't clear sorry
So just unplug i from the back or
Press the clear button for 5 second
Yes
Specifically the wall
ok ok
Front he power supply
From*
Then clear
ok so
Yes for 5 seconds
Unplugged power, held it
Oop
Leave unplugged
I took out the ram
Its fine I got a SSD
Okay back to square 1
stoic island
?
stoic island
The hell is going on now
little osprey
Don't take anything out of pc
I'm trying to get him to unplug pc
And clear cmos
That's what it suggested
stoic island
Reset cmos shouldn't depend on ram being in there
little osprey
And he misread
Power
It said to unplug power
alright put it back in, held the cmos
unborn solstice
wait ram isnt for the psu?
little osprey
And now wait for a little bit before plugging in
Doesn't have to be 5 minutes
Like 2 mins or something
Yeah
stoic island
I'm too tired for this, I'll leave it to y'all
little osprey
Lol
Alright
Plug it back in or
Yes
The n try starting
nope
Still 10
Just to be a 100 sure
I don't know then
This
Yeah
Well
I tried and I'm sorry I couldn't help
It did come with a software CD
Though mr1111 said something about finding the debug lights
That's the debut lights
The manual has the codes
Ah
I see
Time to read the manual
unborn solstice
debug light are on the mobo. if ur having a gpu issue it should say vga next to the lit light
unborn solstice
oh do u have a screen one?
little osprey
Asrock is different
unborn solstice
ah one of those
little osprey
Look at his picture
unborn solstice
oh
little osprey
It's not simple like msi
unborn solstice
what mobo is it?
unborn solstice
according to reddit, people get error code 10 when ram isnt properly installed
little osprey
He moved it per the manual
And it's still not working
I'll probably just end up going to some local tech place though it's sketchy
unborn solstice
make sure BOTH ends click. not just the one with the tab
little osprey
But still gonna find it
Alright
I can try helping tomorrow
Again if you can't figure it out
