LMAO NO 💩

dawn cosmos
#

Alright. So far i've got the Ryzen processor and the newer RAM. Will the Ryzen processor work with the motherboard AND my current GPU?

Tearing down the new NVIDIA RTX 3080 Founders Edition video card. In this one, we take apart the FE step-by-step and mostly blind, figuring out how to take it apart for water blocks & thermals.

stoic island
#

@dawn cosmos yea, it will.

dawn cosmos
#

awesome

stoic island
#

@fossil halo they have a list

#

you can find it if you scroll up

prisma edge
#

Hey can someone tell me if this is a good build or if I should change out some parts?

little osprey
#

No just price

prisma edge
#

Like $1500-$2000

dawn cosmos
fossil halo
#

wait

#

dude

#

hole the phone

#

i scrolled up couldnt find anything

prisma edge
#

Trying to get parts for that graphics card I already have it so im trying tk find a good build for it

fossil halo
#

so basically what i see here

#

is mr megakrush sir

#

has a prebuilt atm

little osprey
fossil halo
#

and would like to upgrade

little osprey
drifting garnet
#

i mean

little osprey
#

buy this

fossil halo
#

and has been recommended a r5 3600 and x570

little osprey
#

3600 is 300$

fossil halo
#

which is a rather terrible recommendation atm imo

#

yea

#

what mando said

stoic island
#

@dawn cosmos you NEED the motherboard to fit the CPU

dawn cosmos
#

Will this require a new windows?

stoic island
#

hm? shouldn't

drifting garnet
#

No get mp34 for ssd.

little osprey
#

samsung faster

#

he already spending 1500

#

no point for budget ssd

stoic island
#

hm?

prisma edge
#

Well the crappy part is I already have the PowerColor Red devil and I wanted to try and build a pc for it

stoic island
#

MP34 actually has higher write speeds but okay

#

970evo actually decent price

little osprey
#

the hell

stoic island
#

3500/2500 for evo

drifting garnet
#

yeah, everyone tells me that mp34 is better but samsung is good too.

stoic island
#

3000/2700 for mp34

little osprey
#

so better read on evo

#

but less write

stoic island
#

mhm

drifting garnet
#

Ok I guess either drive is good doesn't really matter

ancient valley
#

Can someone plz give me a pc list for 830 $

drifting garnet
#

Do you need wifi or bluetooth?

#

@ancient valley

fossil halo
#

like is it 830$ with sales tax or no

#

ill make one for 830 with sales tax with unactivated windows tho

tender fjord
#

is there anything wrong with this build

#

the thing I'm worried about is the cooling

#

because I don't know much about cooling

drifting garnet
drifting garnet
tender fjord
#

really

drifting garnet
#

Just to a new part picker list

opal stratus
#

Click system builder, it works for me

vagrant olive
#

copy the share link

tender fjord
#

this

vagrant olive
#

yes

tender fjord
#

is the cooler ok and are the parts in the green

vagrant olive
#

not bad but pretty overpriced imp

#

imo

#

gimme a sec

tender fjord
#

what is overpriced

drifting garnet
#

Not that overpriced.

tender fjord
#

is the cooling fine

drifting garnet
#

PSU is a little too much

#

Cooler is good I think.

tender fjord
#

ok thanks

vagrant olive
#

@tender fjord

tender fjord
#

yes

vagrant olive
#

do you want 750w for sure

#

bc you could probably get away with 650w

tender fjord
#

what's wrong with it

vagrant olive
#

if u dont plan to overclock a lot

tender fjord
#

I wanna be in the safe side

vagrant olive
#

650w will be safe if u dont oc a ton

tender fjord
#

I don't overclock a lot

vagrant olive
#

ok

drifting garnet
vagrant olive
#

true

tender fjord
#

the price difference between a 750 and 650 is very minimal

fossil halo
#

get this and save up for a 3050 or 3060

drifting garnet
#

If there is little difference, I would definitely get 750 for upgradability.

fossil halo
#

@ancient valley

#

come out in jan

tender fjord
#

thanks

vagrant olive
#

id get this

#

its a lot more performance for about the same cost

vital warren
#

what is the budget you guys are working with here?

vagrant olive
#

his original build was about 1300-1400

#

so i tried to make it about the same if not a little less

vital warren
#

so 3070 + 5600x?

ivory beacon
#

Ok

drifting garnet
#

That PSU is no where near as overpriced as the corsair one.

tender fjord
#

yeah

vital warren
#

could do 3080 + 5600x for a lil more

ivory beacon
#

Thoughts?

tender fjord
#

the ssd is a little small

vagrant olive
#

dont worry

#

youll only be putting your windows boot

tender fjord
#

how much is a 3080 again

vagrant olive
#

and games that u want to load fast

next kestrel
#

699 retail

vagrant olive
#

on the ssd

#

any other files u can put on the hdd

tender fjord
#

can I add some apps into my ssd

vagrant olive
#

yes

next kestrel
#

you should add smaller apps

#

like launchers

vagrant olive
#

if u have games that u want to load faster

next kestrel
#

epic games launcher, blizzard launcher, steam

tender fjord
#

is the ssd better than the 970 evo?

vagrant olive
#

yes

#

its much faster

#

samsung ssd’s are pretty bad

tender fjord
#

what is the main difference between my previous case and my new one

vagrant olive
#

less moners

#

if youre ok with the $10 extra u can go back

#

plus i rly like corsairs airflow cases

#

lol

tender fjord
#

I can spare 10 dollars

vagrant olive
#

cases are rly subjective

drifting garnet
#

I have to go.

tender fjord
#

this looks better

#

thanks

vagrant olive
#

np

little osprey
#

anyone know what the best prebuilt in cyprus is? i have like a budget of 600 euro

balmy patio
#

cyprus as in the island, or is it a company

tender fjord
#

@vagrant olive Note:Corsair 4000D Airflow ATX Mid Tower Case has a front panel USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C port, but the Gigabyte B550 AORUS PRO AC ATX AM4 Motherboard does not have sufficient USB 3.2 Gen 2 or Gen 1 headers. The case USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C port will not be usable.

uhhh should I be worried

balmy patio
#

no not really

#

you just won't be using the front panel usb c

tender fjord
#

so it'll work

#

cool

balmy patio
#

the b550-a pro is cheaper and has a 3.2 gen 2 header

little osprey
balmy patio
ivory beacon
#

How many total usb plugs will that have?

balmy patio
#

what are you talking about @ivory beacon

little osprey
#

does anyone else know what the best prebuilt is in cyprus? i have like a budget of 600 euro

ivory beacon
#

I'm not sure bro. I'm just trying to find a good build for my friend @balmy patio

verbal quarry
#

what is the budget?

ivory beacon
#

2k

#

Trying to play fs 2020

verbal quarry
#

oh dang

ivory beacon
#

At high or max graphics

balmy patio
#

ahhh 2k

#

big pc

verbal quarry
#

you can make a pretty nice build with that money

balmy patio
#

lemme see if i can make a list

ivory beacon
#

2k at the most

verbal quarry
#

def a 30 series gpu

balmy patio
#

3080 at least

verbal quarry
#

lemme see what i can do guys

#

any specific cpu?

vagrant olive
#

def a 5900x at least

verbal quarry
#

gotcha give me a minute and ill get you a rough idea

ivory beacon
verbal quarry
#

any specific brands?

manic tapir
ivory beacon
#

I wouldn't know the difference. Good ol reliable imo

balmy patio
#

do you care about modularity?

ivory beacon
ivory beacon
balmy patio
ivory beacon
balmy patio
#

as in, do you want to plug in all the cables you'll need, have some cables coming from the psu, or having a rat's nest of cables you don't need

foggy hazel
#

neither of which matter in the grand scheme

ivory beacon
#

I need to plug in several usb cables

foggy hazel
#

that is not related to psu modularity

ivory beacon
#

🙃

balmy patio
#

or a combination of both

#

the top is a fully modular psu, the bottom is a non-modular psu

ivory beacon
#

You does the top still come with cables though right

balmy patio
#

it does

wanton cliff
#

ugly non-modular or semi-modular PSU

balmy patio
#

all of em

ivory beacon
#

Let's go with less clutter

gleaming quartz
#

i wish i had a power supply like that

balmy patio
verbal quarry
wanton cliff
#

i mean it looks pretty gud

verbal quarry
#

i can cut a bit more for that perfect 2k

vagrant olive
#

thats a based case

verbal quarry
#

its a case

vagrant olive
#

its an epic one

balmy patio
#

and you have a m.2 sata ssd

foggy hazel
#

@verbal quarry you are also a good 100watt under recommended spec for the psu for use with that GPU

gleaming quartz
verbal quarry
#

thats an easy fix give me a moment

foggy hazel
#

and please use pcpp instead

#

the newegg builder is so very limited

verbal quarry
#

👍

wanton cliff
balmy patio
#

yeah, with a sata interface

wanton cliff
#

ah

#

i see

foggy hazel
#

@balmy patio on your list, psu warranty and money used on the Freezer

wanton cliff
#

makes sense

verbal quarry
#

anyone know the cost of the 3080 founders edition?

wanton cliff
#

700-ish

median garnet
#

699

#

But never in stock so really doesn’t matter lol

wanton cliff
#

(bot time)

verbal quarry
#

lol

foggy hazel
#

there you go @verbal quarry

wanton cliff
#

will a 5700xt run the Witcher 3 at ultra settings 2k60?

verbal quarry
#

ty

ivory beacon
vagrant olive
#

good case

verbal quarry
#

with the wraith coolers that come with the ryzens is that good enought for what he wants?

balmy patio
vagrant olive
#

only the 5600x

#

comes with a fan

#

the others dont

balmy patio
#

yes and you'll be fine with the stock cooler that comes with the 5600x

vagrant olive
#

?

#

i thought the 5900x didnt come with a stock cooler

median garnet
#

It doesn’t

balmy patio
#

itoh frick

#

meant to say 5600x

vagrant olive
#

ah

foggy hazel
#

@balmy patio aye, should be fine.

#

and yes, the 5600x is the only one with a stock cooler

median garnet
#

Is it the wraith stealth or the spire

gleaming quartz
median garnet
#

That comes with the 5600x

median garnet
vagrant olive
#

wraith stealth

gleaming quartz
#

lol

#

wraith stealth isn't any better i've heard

#

plus it does worse than the wraith prism

median garnet
#

Yeah I’m getting an aio for Christmas so hopefully my temps go down as well as the overall noise

gleaming quartz
#

same im getting something similar

verbal quarry
gleaming quartz
#

im just hoping it can handle basic overclocking

balmy patio
verbal quarry
#

its hard to tell prices but thats what i got

balmy patio
median garnet
#

Lmao thank you. My fps are limited by my rx580 but it handles overclocking like a beast

verbal quarry
#

the compatibility issue is only with bios

median garnet
#

I need to get a better psu tho before I run my overclock 24/7 on my pc

balmy patio
#

@verbal quarry what's your overall budget?

verbal quarry
#

this was for poncho and i think it was 2k

#

unless he got his sorted out

median garnet
balmy patio
#

ahhh i made a list for poncho earlier, it still need a few corrections to get good perf

verbal quarry
#

gotcha didnt see it in chat

ivory beacon
#

😃

verbal quarry
#

tho i might save this for a future build of mine lol

ivory beacon
#

Same lol

balmy patio
ivory beacon
#

So which one was the finished one?

verbal quarry
#

joesr

balmy patio
#

yes sir

verbal quarry
#

the cpu on mine is wrong

#

i thought you wanted a 5600x

#

not a 5900x

balmy patio
#

oh bruv

verbal quarry
#

yea mine was way off lol

vagrant olive
#

has anyone ever actually bought parts from b h

verbal quarry
#

i havent

#

is it worth?

median garnet
#

I tried to once. It was a monitor that said it would be in stock in a few days. After like a week I checked and it said it wouldn’t be delivered for almost two months

verbal quarry
#

jeez

median garnet
#

They were great about me cancelling my order tho very nice people

#

Just make sure stuff is in stock when you order

verbal quarry
#

alright

balmy patio
#

my friend got his case from b&h

#

tbh i got surprised when he said that they sold pc components

median garnet
#

I live pretty close to their headquarters so I get one day shipping too lol

verbal quarry
#

nicee

balmy patio
#

nnice

verbal quarry
#

speaking of monitors

#

anyone got a preference for a 144hz monitor?

balmy patio
#

at what resolution?

verbal quarry
#

dont know

#

havent really looked at specs for monitors

#

kinda just going by preference

balmy patio
#

i'm talking about 1080p, 1440p, or 4k

ivory beacon
#

@balmy patio not gonna lie. I really want to build that now

verbal quarry
#

1080p is what i would like

balmy patio
#

or displays

verbal quarry
#

i never get a answer in displays

balmy patio
#

go to peripherals

#

it's rare that no one is active there

ivory beacon
#

Bout to post my pc on marketplace

balmy patio
#

sheesh, what was your old pc?

ivory beacon
#

Or build then sale

#

Sec

#

1070 gpu

balmy patio
#

sheesh that looks like it was a great system

ivory beacon
#

It is

#

Haven't had a problem

#

Your build just looks so nice 🙃

#

Oh @balmy patio the build I'm looking for is. For a friend

#

But now I want it too 😂

balmy patio
#

lmao

gritty mountain
#

how you people getting 3000 series cards

little osprey
#

There is some card drops from here and there, you just have to be lucky to get it before the bots do.

gleaming quartz
#

the price was pretty inflated though

#

I am looking to build a pc for coding and gaming at 144hz 1440p. I was wondering what you guys think about this build (i have never built a pc)?
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dKXBTJ

Prices are in ILS and are, compared to the price in the US, insanely high. What saves me from having to sell a kidney is the fact i can buy some parts from new egg with free shipping.

Also not sure what cpu cooler to use. Whether to use an AIO or Bulky air cooler. Anyways i figured i can always start with the stock ryzen cooler and upgrade from there.

Any suggestions/recommendations/opinions will be appreciated :)

severe axle
#

I am pretty sure that ssd does not have dram

stoic island
#

@rotund marten that monitor is 1080p by the way

severe axle
#

yeah thats a 1080p 165hz not 1440p 144hz

little osprey
#

It's a WD blue so it should have a dram

#

As the low end/dram less is the wd green

stoic island
#

wat

#

@little osprey SN550 doesn't have dram

rotund marten
stoic island
#

it has hmb

little osprey
#

Oh

stoic island
#

but yea swap the ssd

#

MP34, 970 evo, SX8200 pro, SN750, any of em

rotund marten
#

For the dram?

severe axle
#

a dram-less ssd slows down over time

rotund marten
#

I first considered the 970 evo but went for the sn550 because of price, i don't mind investing a bit more for the evo though

#

For powersupply i figured 650 would be more than enough wouldn't it?

balmy patio
#

yes

stoic island
#

you might be able to do cheaper than a RM for the same/better quality tho

#

eh, good nuff tho

#

Personally I'd change the mobo for one that has bios flashback

rotund marten
#

I went for the rm because it is literally the only 650 gold option the local store i am planning on ordering some of the parts has

rotund marten
stoic island
#

Usually no

foggy hazel
#

remember, sx8200 pro = not good @stoic island

stoic island
#

For example, MSI B550m pro vdh wifi is 110usd usually

#

@foggy hazel from STH testing, still good, just less good than old sx8200 pro

foggy hazel
#

toms found a fairly decent regression, hence my words

stoic island
#

hm

#

I remember STH testing looking fairly similar overall, just lower on the mid section

foggy hazel
#

but not enough that it "really" matters in the grand scheme of things

stoic island
#

I think it was ATTO

foggy hazel
#

its the usual, IF you only have that choice? fine

#

but if there are others?

#

avoid

rotund marten
#

Also i remember reading somewhere msi with amd bad or something along those lines

#

Have any clue what that is about?

foggy hazel
#

nothing i have heard about (msi with amd bad)

rotund marten
#

Thank you guys so much for the help :D

#

I appreciate it a lot

cloud oasis
#

Why did my frames suddenly go down?

#

1660 ti and i5 9400f

little osprey
ivory beacon
#

Boys. Overall for FS2020 as in performance and graphics. Intel or AMD? why?

vagrant olive
#

cpu wont rly affect graphics but amd has the best cpus as of right now

#

with their 5000 series

rotund marten
#

too bad it's overpriced and out of stock

vagrant olive
#

tru

rotund marten
#

The only good thing about my country, is i can technically get any 30 series or even 5000 series cpu from retail no resellers

#

the problem is retailers here take more than ebay resales lmao

stoic island
#

@rotund marten MSI low end x570 bad, the rest are pretty good

vagrant olive
#

b550 aorus mobos are epic

rotund marten
#

Funny you say that i am comparing the Aorus Pro and the Aorus DS3H

vagrant olive
#

i got the aorus pro ac

#

its good if u need onboard wifi

#

if not then the aorus elite is good

rotund marten
#

Was thinking about micro atx

#

Cause like price and stuff

#

So i should correct my self, b500m Pro

vagrant olive
#

true

#

microatx is more cost efective

rotund marten
#

Yes and i see practically no downside

#

Pcie slots bahh gross

#

Who needs that

vagrant olive
#

the only real downside is less ram slots usually

rotund marten
#

How come? Like 90% of the matx boards i checked have 4 slots

vagrant olive
#

oh

#

huh i mustve been remembering wrong

severe axle
#

its mini itx that has 2 ram slots

#

though, some low end micro atx boards also have 2

topaz inlet
#

So I’ve got an asrock steel legend b450 and I installed a kraken x63 yesterday and now the only power I’m getting is to my mobo leds any ideas what might be wrong ?

balmy patio
#

are they debug led's

#

check your manual if they are

topaz inlet
#

I can’t find anywhere in the manual where it tells me

fallen escarp
#

can someone help me find some fans?

#

ping me when available

mystic lagoon
balmy patio
fallen escarp
#

kinf?

fossil halo
#

hey guys btw

#

do you know

#

if there is a sort of adapter

mystic lagoon
#

kind

fossil halo
#

to make my mic and headphone jack into a combined jack

#

for my earbuds

topaz inlet
balmy patio
fossil halo
#

can u link

balmy patio
balmy patio
mystic lagoon
#

lol an amazon link in newegg discord

fossil halo
#

what is it called

fossil halo
#

i want the other way

topaz inlet
fossil halo
#

what have you plugged in

topaz inlet
fossil halo
#

like to the power supply

rotund marten
#

No it doesn't?

rotund marten
#

When i click the link i sent it works

#

Weird

balmy patio
topaz inlet
#

I have everything still connected to the psu

balmy patio
#

so no fans or anything?

fossil halo
#

like basically

#

i want to use my earbuds mic

#

and the audio

topaz inlet
#

Nothing will turn on

fossil halo
#

currently i am using my webcam mic and it is dog sh!t

fossil halo
#

pog

topaz inlet
#

I did notice on my 24pin connector one of the metal piece in the connector is missing but I don’t know if that would cause it to not even boot

stoic island
#

One of the 24pin is designed to be empty by the way.

topaz inlet
#

Okay I wasn’t sure if it was supposed to be empty or not

verbal quarry
#

huh

stoic island
#

forgot which one

#

for afaik any of the ground pins can be cut without issues

topaz inlet
#

I’m wondering if it’s my power button on my case

stoic island
#

@topaz inlet If you unplug the front io connectors, you can start the mobo by bridging the power headers

#

like bridge them with a screwdriver or something

topaz inlet
#

Yeah with a screwdriver

#

I tried yesterday and got nothing

#

And btw it was running perfect before I put the x63 on

#

I had a wraith cooler and it was perfect for the last 6-8 months since I built it

stoic island
#

hm

#

Tried remounting the AIO yet?

#

maybe the mount is applying too much pressure onto the CPU

topaz inlet
#

I don’t think it is putting too much pressure

stoic island
#

(Thinking of different points of 'failure' that might be causing you issues)

topaz inlet
#

It did that then it just stopped doing that even

stoic island
#

What am I supposed to be seeing in the video?

#

Or is there audio? Can't listen to audio atm

topaz inlet
#

Haha sorry it would load all the rgb and the led display on the kraken then reboot after like 10 seconds

#

And just kept doing that until it didn’t haha

stoic island
#

By the way, this server is level 3, you can take a longer video for up to 100MB without nitro, so if there's something you could show via video, could try to take a longer video again, but if it doesn't happen now, hmm.

idle hawk
#

Duly noted

topaz inlet
#

Yeah it doesn’t happen now

#

All I get it the leds on the mobo

stoic island
#

Welp, cooler remount and CPU reseat will be a good place to start with debugging imo

#

Just in case at least.

balmy patio
topaz inlet
#

I noticed a couple bent pins on cpu yesterday when I reseated it would that cause this kind of issue

stoic island
#

hmm bent pins are quite bad

topaz inlet
#

I figured that would just affect windows booting

stoic island
#

Have you tried to bend them back CAREFULLY with a tweezer yet?
With bent pins, you have ONE TRY with bending them back, because chances are, the second time around, the pins will fall off

#

oh CPU bent pins are very bad for everything

#

with the wrong pins bent, there's effectively no CPU installed

topaz inlet
#

I used a razor blade and went through them to try to straighten them out

idle hawk
#

Yes I'm alive

#

Barely

stoic island
#

Hm alright

#

@topaz inlet but try reseat again and inspect the pins again, because slightly bent pins means bad contact, which means the CPU won't work if important pins don't make contact with the socket.

#

And of course, this is only one possible cause, so if it still doesn't boot after you inspected it, it doesn't mean your CPU is dead, it just means something out of the many is still wrong.

topaz inlet
#

Just pulled it again to inspect and there are more bent but none missing so razor blade time

stoic island
#

hmm

#

@topaz inlet that seems problematic, you see any reason why the pins are being bent?

#

does the motherboard socket look damaged/misshaped at all?

topaz inlet
#

Nope it’s good only thing was a little thermal paste that I cleaned out with a toothbrush

stoic island
#

hm, weird

#

I guess just be careful putting it in the socket

foggy hazel
#

no

#

something else is wrong there

#

and those pins are NOT straight enough to actually go in the socket again

#

try and see if you can take a picture with a better focus please

topaz inlet
#

That’s why I’m straightening them

#

Of the cpu ?

foggy hazel
#

of the pins

#

and a side question: how did you succeed in getting paste on the pins?

topaz inlet
#

Haha I have no idea I was super careful when I took it out

idle hawk
#

emergency medical situation

foggy hazel
stoic island
#

hm looking at it again, there seems to have an awful lot of misshappen looking pins

foggy hazel
#

that is not the words i would use for it @stoic island

#

"those pins look like the members of fight club" is closer

rotund marten
#

How did that happen, i want to umm.. take notes

stoic island
#

maybe it's just focus was bad

topaz inlet
#

Yeah I know

stoic island
#

might need a better photo

#

like left side just looks shiny, could just be camera angle

languid nimbus
#

is that what could potentially happen if cpu were installed in incorrect direction? As in, you’re supposed to like it up with the arrow on the mobo, but if you didn’t

topaz inlet
languid nimbus
#

ouch

idle hawk
#

ladies and gentlemen this is why intel is a little easier then amd

topaz inlet
#

Yeah agreed

stoic island
#

@idle hawk I ask you, how easily are you going to bend back those pins on the socket?

#

I mean, with a CPU, you take it out, razor blade, easily bend em back.

#

:P

topaz inlet
#

I didn’t seat the thing originally and I’m guessing yes the guy that did put in originally did it poorly

idle hawk
#

the real answer is you dont mess up the insertion process as amd would

stoic island
#

Either method has pins somewhere

foggy hazel
stoic island
idle hawk
#

omg

rotund marten
#

We need wireless pins

foggy hazel
#

aye, there is another like it on the other side of the die

stoic island
#

but anyways the entire right side of the chip

#

looks very interesting

rotund marten
#

What cpu is this?

topaz inlet
#

Ryzen 7

foggy hazel
#

there are multiple pins that are touching each other

#

so i have no idea how you are actually getting it IN the socket

stoic island
#

Anyways, it will be very helpful to figure out why they are bent like that

foggy hazel
stoic island
idle hawk
#

these zoom ins are brutal

topaz inlet
#

Yeah I agree they are brutal haha

foggy hazel
#

nah, what has been done to those pins is brutal @idle hawk

lone portal
#

Does anyone know where I can find a backplate for a msi armor radeon rx 580?

rotund marten
#

I think we might need more than 1 razer

spare crown
#

idk just do it under a micro scope lol

#

ez fix if u have one lmao

topaz inlet
#

I don’t haha

rancid echo
#

im gonna build my first pc soon and this is kind of scaring me

spare crown
#

this is why i dont like amd

#

i like intel cuz u dont have to worry about cpu pins

foggy hazel
#

lets just make it clear, that none of what is in that picture is done "normally"

topaz inlet
#

Agreed it’s not normally like this haha

spare crown
#

lol

rancid echo
#

good

foggy hazel
#

there are people that have dropped their cpu's directly on the pins, on the floor and less pins have been bent

topaz inlet
#

This is my third build and only amd I e had

foggy hazel
#

and i am NOT joking about that

topaz inlet
#

I’m think an exact knife might help

stoic island
#

anyways that's enough about how bad the situation is, let's figure out what happened and how to fix it now.

topaz inlet
#

Exacto*

#

Yeah all I’m trying to do is kill some kids in warzone haha

foggy hazel
#

question: could you describe the actual steps you do when you instal the cpu into the socket please?

stoic island
#

because if something's going to bend it... like that... again, no fixing of the CPU will help.

spare crown
#

I legit hate amd xD

foggy hazel
#

for those of you that might see something wrong in what @topaz inlet says when he describes his install process, please let him finish

stoic island
#

dunno, bent 0 pins on my 2700 when I literally put it in my bag without any protection

rotund marten
#

You what

topaz inlet
#

I put it in lining up the arrows then applied light pressure

foggy hazel
#

is that all you did?

topaz inlet
#

Then used the clamp on the mobo to clamp it down then checked to make sure it was tight

idle hawk
#

for every 15 bent pins ill donate a 3060 ti in a raffle lmaooo jk

foggy hazel
#

question: IF i say latch. What do you say?

idle hawk
#

bend

topaz inlet
#

Latch ?

foggy hazel
#

that was what i was afraid of

#

the socket has a latch on the side

topaz inlet
#

Yeah the clamp thing haha

foggy hazel
#

its a arm that swings up

stoic island
#

silver lever on the side of the socket

topaz inlet
#

Yeah

#

That’s what I meant by clamp

foggy hazel
#

okay

#

then please describe, again. all the steps

stoic island
#

And if there's any "interesting events" in the history of that CPU, that'd be helpful to mention

foggy hazel
#

we will get to that later :)

topaz inlet
#

I lined up the cpu properly, put slight pressure on the cpu, pulled the latch down then ensured the cpu was tight in the socket

foggy hazel
#

note: "put slight pressure on the cpu" <- this should NOT be needed

#

IF the socket lever is UP and the socket does NOT have debris in the holes, then the cpu will fall into place by gravity alone

#

the reason i am being so very specific about it is that the crossed pins are physically impossible

#

the "walls" of the socket itself would prevent you from putting the cpu in

little osprey
#

AMD should never have pressure on the CPU

foggy hazel
#

its physically impossible for pins to be "crossed" and then actually (correctly) install the cpu.

lapis flicker
#

What happens if you put the chip in first then put the lever up and then down?... Asking for a friend

lusty gazelle
#

Does anyone know if its better to top mount or front mount an Aio cpu cooler?

little osprey
#

i think

#

wait no

#

uh

stoic island
#

@lusty gazelle Top mount is usually preferred, easiest way.

foggy hazel
foggy hazel
#

so @topaz inlet does any of the above actually make logical sense?

topaz inlet
#

Yeah I get all that

lapis flicker
#

After when trying to lift the heat sink it didn't take the chip with it. Ok, do chance I may have bent something

foggy hazel
#

now, as mr1111 asked, can you tell us anything about the history of the cpu?

lapis flicker
#

Any tips on setting up the motherboard outside of the case for troubleshooting and trying to bit?

stoic island
#

@foggy hazel quick question, anywhere we could find the pinout for the CPU pins? It's prob classified info and proprietary stuff, but if we could, we can see if the completely missing pin on the right side matters

topaz inlet
#

It was in the mobo when I bought it and hasn’t moved until yesterday when I was trying to install the kraken

stoic island
#

Did you install it into the mobo in the first place?

topaz inlet
#

No I did not

stoic island
#

Who did?

topaz inlet
#

I bought the mobo and cpu as a combo off OfferUp

#

And like I said I used the setup for 6-8 months with no issues

stoic island
#

..oh boy...

foggy hazel
#

there is a pin map in there

#

you eyes are going to cross trying to track it thou

#

just saying :)

stoic island
#

oo alright I'll try to track the missing pin

topaz inlet
#

I was just getting high temps cuz of the poor air flow from my case

stoic island
#

I gotta go for a second, but here's my hyphothesis : Pins were slightly bent at some point, and on the last install of the CPU, the bent pins wouldn't go into the socket, and just bent themselves as you placed pressure onto the CPU, and that's how some pins are criss crossed.

topaz inlet
#

It’s mbdata 50

foggy hazel
#

@stoic island crossed pins = cpu not physically able to go INTO the socket

#

the walls between the pins would prevent that

topaz inlet
#

Mbdata56*

little osprey
#

if it was 2 pins that have no use but were squished against the CPU other pins could probably make contact but thats really it on how it could fit

#

Second you would pull it off im assuming those 2 would fall off tho

#

would be loose too

foggy hazel
#

it would make the CPU physically "thicker"

little osprey
#

only secured by cooler

foggy hazel
#

and the "cross" would be pushed towards the cpu itself

#

not the tip of the pins like shown earlier

topaz inlet
#

I’m heading to a craft store to get an exacto knife anything else I should try to get the pin straightened ?

foggy hazel
#

patience, in a very very very big bottle @topaz inlet

#

also, if you could pickup some luck

#

that might help

#

but yeah, exacto knife should help

topaz inlet
#

Sweet so steal an Irish man and don’t deal with my wife

stoic island
#

took me way too long to make an illustration

#

@merry bear really bad motherboard for high end chips, don't do it, and also, use pcpartpicker.com

foggy hazel
#

aye, and as i said, that makes the cpu physically thicker @stoic island

stoic island
#

alright

#

time to try and find the missing pin lel

foggy hazel
#

and would force a WAY more extreme cross of the pins

stoic island
#

that's the 26th pin down, and the 29th pin down

#

gonna match it up on the pinout now

idle hawk
#

This is cpu torture

stoic island
#

which are power supply pins

foggy hazel
#

those are missing (it looks like)

#

again, there are so many things "wrong" with that

stoic island
#

hm?

foggy hazel
#

because we have not even started on the leftover thermal paste all over the pins

topaz inlet
#

What should I do to clean that off

vagrant olive
#

this is intense

foggy hazel
#

plastic toothpicks are commonly used for it

stoic island
#

Would thermal paste there even do anything?

foggy hazel
#

because they are fairly "soft"

stoic island
#

usually they aren't conductive

foggy hazel
#

i have a question for you @stoic island

#

what does thermal paste do when it becomes hot?

#

does it flow?

stoic island
#

um, soften up and get into the cracks?

#

that's what I thought it does

foggy hazel
#

aye

#

what is below the place where the paste is "now"

topaz inlet
#

Okay

foggy hazel
#

if you answer is: the contact pads for the cpu pins

#

then you are right

stoic island
#

ah

little osprey
#

Anyone have a $2000 list?

stoic island

@little osprey when you building

they also sell covers on the heatsinks for some

Right now no

arent those like outta stock th

Ahh I see, was gonna get d15 soon but I’m afraid it won’t fit in 220t

little osprey
#

One more question, how good is th noctua for basic over clocking?

muted sluice
#

ur liminted in that case

#

@little osprey

stoic island
#

@little osprey high end air coolers (like the U12a) is compariable to good AIOs (your average 280mm aios)

#

so pretty good

muted sluice
#

yea

little osprey
#

Alr thanks 🙏

muted sluice
#

its pretty quiet to

stoic island
#

and also, one of the reasons why I like suggesting the TD500 mesh as a case is because of the 360mm top rad support, if you want to go crazy with big aio/custom loop, you can easily fit it.

muted sluice
#

is that a m case or a full case

viral ore
#

get butter knife

muted sluice
#

no

languid nimbus
#

So many people with bent cpu pins today

viral ore
#

line up the row, and push gently

fleet pagoda
#

My motherboard was doa

stoic island
#

TD500 mesh is mid tower ATX

fleet pagoda
#

And when i removed my cpu cooler the cpu stick to it

viral ore
#

it doesnt have to be perfect, the socket pressue will take care of the rest

muted sluice
#

try to put it in to see if it works 1st idk

#

if it dont work then fix

fleet pagoda
#

My new mobo hasnt come yet

muted sluice
#

then dont do anything

fleet pagoda
#

So i dont have to be worried to much since it should be an easy fix

viral ore
#

just remember that its bent when you go to install it into the new board

fleet pagoda
#

What would the difference be

#

So be more careful

#

?

viral ore
#

it wont just drop in, your gonna have to put it in at a goofy angle

muted sluice
#

i mean ur not suppose to open a cpu without a mobo

viral ore
#

assuming you are too lazy to just bend the pins back

muted sluice
#

in the first place

fleet pagoda
#

I would bend them back but im extremely shaky

muted sluice
#

dont do it

fleet pagoda
#

The mobo i had was defective

stoic island
#

don't bend by hand

fleet pagoda
#

I returned it today

muted sluice
fleet pagoda
#

Yesh i was gonna use a butterknife which was what he recommended w

#

Ok

stoic island
#

if you're concerned about being shaky, find a friend.

muted sluice
fleet pagoda
#

Alr and yeah i wouldnt dream of doing it my hands shake real bas

#

Bad

muted sluice
#

as well

viral ore
#

the chip is fine, the pins are hardly bent

#

no issue here

muted sluice
#

yea

fleet pagoda
#

Thank god

#

yo dont mess with alright

#

I wasnt sure if i should still buy my gpu not being sure abt the cpu but u think i should buy it when i can assuming it ever releases

#

I wont

#

omg

#

cpu pin bent?

muted sluice
#

no

#

hes overreaacting

i just did it

and never touched it again

^^

muted sluice
fossil halo
#

it wasnt nearly as bad as i thought it was tho

#

went in easily

#

i thought my hand would be like shaking

#

my cpu went in easily

fleet pagoda
#

I mean the only reason mine is like that is bc when i was removing the cooler the cou came with it and i did it at a slight angle

#

I didnt think the cpu would come off the socket

fossil halo
#

OOF

#

why u take off the cooler

#

tho

muted sluice
#

yo dont mess with its ok. @fleet pagoda

fleet pagoda
#

Mobo was defective

muted sluice

its not broken

fossil halo
#

ouch

#

Ill jus leave it

btw were u grounded when u toched the mobo

#

Yes

it's a good computer build practice to bend your pins before inserting your cpu

@fleet pagoda that better be a joke lmao

u have to like

#

touch it

rotund marten
#

drop on floor 3 times for good measures

fossil halo

apply thermal paste while ur at it

and then u bake it in the oven to make sure that the temps are fine

idk why i just do not like the radeon gpu design

My asrock b450m pro4-F with ryzen 3800x isn't posting. The mobo days it is 3000 series ready so I don't think it is the bios

It turns on for about 10 seconds and then reboots.

I have removed ram and video card and it still does it.

I have the mobo sitting on the table not touching the case and it is still doing it (the PSU is in the case still)

Any thoughts?

#

I'm guessing I'm at the point of removing the cpu and seeing if I bent the pins putting it in, was hoping there was some other low hanging fruit to check first. No attempt has had success in posting to a monitor

@topaz inlet next thing is reset cmos
