I always wondered that. Like when you see a GTX 1080 for a hefty price, yet you can get a RTX 3080 for the same price as some people want

hollow grail
#

people r dumb

zinc marsh
#

collectors maybe?

muted patio
#

Of course I'm sure.

#

There were tech articles about it

zinc marsh
#

uneducated buyers?

#

probably a mix of the 2

muted patio
#

So now, what little remaining stock is left of the 2K series is even more expensive becaues the 3K series isn't available

zinc marsh
#

I dont get why people cant wait

#

like youve waited all this time already

#

cant wait another month or 2 to actually get the card you wanted?

little osprey
#

Companies need to set up recaptcha on their websites for people who wanna buy these gpus

#

So bots cant by em out

muted patio
#

Bots get by captcha so easy

hollow grail
#

@little osprey they dgaf

muted patio
#

It's a joke, honestly

hollow grail
#

they get paid no matter what

little osprey
#

That is true, and sad

#

I remember our local walmart had gotten a shipment of 1000 PS5's

#

Sold out in an hour

hollow grail
#

zinc marsh
#

I mean nvidia has been kinda scummy lately

muted patio
#

I signed up for an EVGA 3070 email before halloween

little osprey
#

AMD has at least been good lately, from what I hear

muted patio
#

Still haven't got one yet

#

No, AMD GPU

#

s are in no better position. Low stock, instant sell out

#

Same for CPU's

hollow grail
little osprey
#

I had a XFX RX 5600 XT THICC II PRO GPU

#

And whenever I played Skyrim, the GPU squealed

hollow grail
#

amd gpus are total ass

little osprey
#

Like, the literal physical gpu squealed

#

But only with skyrim

muted patio
#

Caps

hollow grail
#

lol

#

nVidia cards did that too in the 900/1000 series

hollow grail
#

yep

#

the bad ones at least

zinc marsh
little osprey
#

I was like "is it cause I got my parts from best buy"

muted patio
#

SOunded like a camera flash charging up

#

AMD GPU's aren't ass

#

The drivers and software are

little osprey
#

AMD CPU = Good.
AMD GPU = Bad.
Nvidia GPU = Good.

Intel = Garbage

hollow grail
little osprey
zinc marsh
#

I mean I agree with nvidia, I do think that ray tracing is the future and amd just doesnt have good support for that

hollow grail
#

try using an amd card for anything besides gaming

#

you will cry

little osprey
#

I have a laptop with a intel optane SSD as a boot drive

#

the optane killed the SSD

hollow grail
#

optane is great

little osprey
#

and I had lost all my data

#

I had to reinstall and use an old hdd from my laptop I had over 5 years ago

#

so now my pc is slower than a windows 95

#

I paid 850 for this laptop from target

hollow grail
#

that sounds like you not knowing how to use your hw

zinc marsh
#

you could always get a new ssd lol

hasty bobcat
hollow grail
#

optane is fantastic

zinc marsh
#

that too

little osprey
#

I legit did nothing wrong with it

zinc marsh
#

dont know how that couldve happened

little osprey
hollow grail
little osprey
#

just used my laptop as normal. It happened when I was playing a game

#

was in an online server and it just like

#

froze up

#

and then I went to manual power down, and the last second before it shut off it bluescreened

hollow grail
#

i really doubt it got killed

zinc marsh
#

couldve just been faulty hardware

hollow grail
#

true

little osprey
#

when I loaded back up

hollow grail
#

inb4 hp

little osprey
#

it said there was no operating system

#

and windows cant be installed to the ssd

hollow grail
#

zinc marsh

little osprey
#

No warranty

gleaming quartz

hollow grail
#

little osprey
#

Dell was ok, then my dell laptop power socket died

hollow grail
#

#

so it gets a gold star

little osprey
#

where it connects the charging cable to the mobo for charging

hollow grail
#

dell emc kills it tho

#

fave brand by far

#

@little osprey oh no a 5 dollar part that undergoes regular wear and tear broke

little osprey
#

I had to buy an aftermarket part, and that just burned the part itself, so my lovely dell laptop cried

zinc marsh
#

my cousins have had endless issues with cyberpower pcs

hollow grail
#

#

from

#

@zinc marsh i trust xotic so i send ppl there

little osprey

@zinc marsh call centers get bonuses when selling add ons

zinc marsh

I already know you are smarter lili

hollow grail
#

however we cant get cards like system integrators can

#

zinc marsh
#

I mean at that point it just sounds kinda racist but I see why you would do that

hasty bobcat
#

well at this point, prebuilts are the way to go and i hate to say that

#

none of us small guys get stock

hollow grail
#

honestly for gaming pc builds, I can do them, but i work with laptops and data storage more

little osprey
#

Xidax be like "Oh yeah, the cooler is a 670LT 240MM SEALD LOOP COOLER"

hollow grail
#

#

but

little osprey

hollow grail
#

customer

#

nice jack

#

yeah i build a lot of servers mostly

little osprey
# little osprey Honestly, as soon as possible

you can still make a pc built by youself
with only option rn begin intel since it's prices are way better than amd right now.
for gpus you can go used and use it till you get a proper card...depending on your budget.

hollow grail
#

i built an absolute screamer of a nas

#

@little osprey if theyre financing prebuilt is best

hasty bobcat
hollow grail
#

dont have to finance each part

little osprey
#

I want a desktop that can take a Physical beating, and still last.

zinc marsh
#

well I'd say your best option for building rn is just to wait

hollow grail

Is the Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 650W 80+ Gold a good PSU? I know Thermaltake is reputable. and I know they're reliable, but does anyone have experience with their Toughpower GF1 series?

hasty bobcat
#

ew Thermaltake

#

Corsair, EVGA, Antek, Seasonic are good

#

quite a few more i didnt mention as well

broken umbra
#

I mean I've had a good experience with Thermaltake so far, I know EVGA is good but they mostly have + bronze

#

I've had 2 corsair PSUs die on me grief

little osprey
#

thermaltake depends on the PSU model

broken umbra
#

I still buy corsair though :P

little osprey
#

also look for the model rather than brand lol

broken umbra
#

yeah

#

LMAO RGB POWER SUPPLY IS AN OPTION

#

I mean yeah to be fair I had CX series PSUs with corsair LOL

stoic island
#

CX is great

#

CX-F is good

#

CXm is no good

broken umbra
#

I mean to be fair, I still buy from Corsair because their customer service is amazing, idc what anyone says lol

#

It was so pleasent

#

and they were so nice about it

#

also I do like the Toughpower GF1 because it has a 10 year warranty

hollow grail
#

thermaltake is ass

better when you dont have to contact customer service about your psu ever....lol I am biased since I have 3 dead corsair psus sitting on a shelf near me

Gonna quote Forky for general Windows problems

#

General fix for random windows problems

From an admin command prompt or powershell, run:

sfc /scannow

If that doesn't work, try:

dism /online /cleanup-image /checkhealth
dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

Then, try running sfc again.
Repeat as necessary

hollow grail
#

quote me instead

broken umbra
#

if you use windows debloat it, please

stoic island
#

no

hollow grail
#

general fix for random windows problems: reinstall

stoic island
#

bloat it harder

hollow grail
#

fixes everything

#

install facebook three times

broken umbra
#

reinstall and THEN debloat

#

if you don't debloat, it can eat up like 20% of your CPU

stoic island
#

who doesn't use cortana amirite

hollow grail
#

@broken umbra add more bloat

broken umbra
#

debloating brings it to like 1%

narrow rose
#

@patent marsh you just need to reinstall windows to fix that kernel issue

broken umbra
#

@hollow grail YOU'RE RIGHT! 99% is bigger than 20% so if it's using 99% of your CPU, its better

stoic island
#

btw I don't debloat, and it doesn't really affect me

#

so yea

hollow grail

if you let your cpu breathe it might have enough free time to think about killing you

It's tough RN in the GPU world

verbal quarry
#

Yea

whole harbor
#

Rx 580

#

Dor $220

#

Is so bad tho

#

Like get a 570

#

Since ur gonna get a 3000 when jts in stock

muted patio
#

$220 for something you're gonna ditch in a few months is rough

#

I'd just go local ads and buy something used for $100

#

But that's me

plush bough
#

@muted patio i probably wont get a 30 series until like next christmas or something

#

or near then

little osprey
#

Should i get the corsair 4000d airflow case or lion li o11 dynamic

muted patio
#

Ah

plush bough
#

bc it will be hard to get

muted patio
#

Should be easy to get in 3-4 months

plush bough
#

i wouldnt bet on it

muted patio
#

I mean, Newegg had 3070 stock and 3060 stock last night

plush bough
#

fr?

muted patio
#

Almost bought one but didn't like the bundle

plush bough
#

how much was it

muted patio
#

Ye, they restock parts every night at 8 PM EST, no guarantees on what comes in though

#

It was like, $650 for a 3070 and a PSU I didn't need

#

Almost did it but nah

#

SO if you're vigilant and patient, you can get one

#

Amazon had 5950 stock two nights ago

balmy patio
muted patio
#

Yeah, probably not from Walmart

#

hardly anything there is from them, it's mostly 3rd parties

#

Okay

Alright, looks like I'm going EVGA G3 for my PSU

I knew EVGA has great support but wow

#

They literally will compensate you for your other parts if the PSU damages them

#

I'm running a 650 for a possible oc

#

I havent decided if I want to yet

650 will handle overclock on both GPU and CPU @red gull

#

or should, at least

IG it depends

or any PSU calculator

Thanks everyone

I have the cool master Hyper 212 EVO and the Itel I5 10600K LGA 1200. On the Newegg site it says it fits the LGA 1200 but it does not list this CPU in the cool master instructions. Am I missing something here

sudden lagoon
#

Hello to all.... looking for a suggested CPU cooler for a Gigabyte Z390 UD mobo running an i5-9600K - there are so many coolers I have no idea what to pick. I'm happy with simple though - don't need pipes/liquid or the like - just a fan that's quiet, reliable and can handle the 95 watts of the CPU. Anyone have any suggestions?

#

VE9KK de KK0DJ FB to meet you here K

whole harbor
#

First off

#

@sudden lagoon

#

what did u get for the 9600k

sudden lagoon
#

it came with nothing fan-wise

whole harbor
#

cause u can get for $150 off micro center

sudden lagoon
#

already have purchased the mobo/cpu combo from NewEgg @whole harbor

whole harbor
#

Ooof

#

U wasted $50

sudden lagoon
#

ok... I don't need that sort of help though - looking for a fan that will work at 95W, quiet and reliable... please no more statements about what I could have bought at a lower price... anyone help?

whole harbor
#

lol

#

Budget on fan

#

?

#

@sudden lagoon

sudden lagoon
#

@whole harbor say no more than $50

whole harbor
#

K

#

I assume this one is good

#

Since its cooler master

earnest ravine
#

Is the ASRock Phantom Gaming D Radeon RX 5500 XT good?

sudden lagoon
#

@whole harbor yeah, have had those before... gimme a sec and lemme look at this one.... brb

#

ratings are really nice... seems this one is a good one... I like the pcpartpicker site too... hadn't been there before. I think I'll go with this one at Amazoid.. thank you very much for the help... good to chat with you @whole harbor

#

thanks again folks..... tty'all later

broken umbra
#

wait wait

#

I know another good one

#

@sudden lagoon

#

make sure it fits though

#

its a dual

@idle hawk my 3080 arrived and its working pretty good it fits in the h510 elite lol and 850w is enough i've been benchmarking RDR2 for 30 mins and it didnt crash at all so thats good

#

how they gonna find out the person used a bot to get X product

wanton cliff
#

how fast they bought it

#

probably

stoic island
#

also volume of requests

wanton cliff
#

yeah that too

stoic island
#

a human isn't gonna be able to make hundreds of request a second from the same ip kinda thing

little osprey
#

ah

#

that clears thing up

wanton cliff
#

Just to be clear: the only illegal thing is reselling, not buying using bots

#

or is going to be

stoic island
#

It's just another political buzzword tbh, who knows if they'll actually implement it

wanton cliff
#

god, I hope they do

#

how will that affect the US and canada tho?

stoic island
#

dunno if the politicians will do that, but that's politics

little osprey
#

maybe someone will copy and paste it.

stoic island
#

just hope politicians take notice

wanton cliff
#

they rarely do

stoic island
#

(sadly)

wanton cliff
#

and most politicians that do tech are messed up with Facebook and Oculus rn

#

alright lets say I have an unlimited budget: what kind of parts would I want?

stoic island
#

For doing what? Gaming, Editing, Render, etc?

wanton cliff
#

all of the above

stoic island
#

ick

wanton cliff
#

mostly gaming

stoic island
#

like it's 3990x/10980xe vs 5950x kind of thing if you need editing

#

I'll make a list for fun then

wanton cliff
#

10980 is a Xeon processor right?

stoic island
#

yea

little osprey
#

nope

#

oh wait

#

it is?

stoic island
#

well xe series or whatever

#

close nuff to xeon

little osprey
#

XE

wanton cliff
#

got it

stoic island
#

it's their HEDT platform

wanton cliff
#

maybe wait for whatever monster the Zen3 Threadrippers are

stoic island
#

like Consumer - HEDT - Server
Ryzen - Threadripper - EPYC
Intel - XE chips - Xeon

#

that's how I see it

little osprey
#

though TR and epyc are very close to each other

wanton cliff
#

what kinda core counts should we expect from the 5990x?

stoic island
#

dunno

#

@little osprey yea they really blurred the lines since high end TR now has the same core count as low end EPYC

little osprey
#

and tr 3990x is the same core count and everything as the 64 core epyc
except the epyc one has more pcie lanes

wanton cliff
#

so the epyc is theoretically better?

stoic island
#

It's better for server applications

wanton cliff
#

yeah ik

stoic island
#

because ain't nobody fitting 10 GPUs on TR

wanton cliff
#

so might as well get a 3990x (or wait for 5990x) and then get 2 3090s in SLI and run Cyberpunk in 40fps

#

jeez I cant spell

little osprey
#

@wanton cliff bonjour.

wanton cliff
#

@little osprey

#

oui

little osprey
#

if u know u know

wanton cliff
#

its your pfp

little osprey
#

yes

wanton cliff
#

thats the meme

little osprey
#

but no

wanton cliff
#

so 5990x, 2 3090s (i could go one for better thermals since almost nothing supports SLI), whatever massively expensive power supply... what water cooler should I get for the 5990x?

little osprey
#

AIO?

#

or like...full water cooler

stoic island
#

I'd wait

wanton cliff
#

yeah probably

#

im not gonna buy anything until everything is out

stoic island
#

@wanton cliff GN showed that TR size&shaped coldplate impacts performance a lot against standard asetech cold plate

wanton cliff
#

english pls

stoic island
#

plate that goes on cpu

#

dat boi

wanton cliff
#

ok

stoic island
#

is small on standard aios

#

you want big boi

wanton cliff
#

ok

#

ok

stoic island
#

designed for TR

wanton cliff
#

mhmm

#

so i need a bigger heatsync on the cooler?

I need to replace the Power Man Model IP-S350CQ2-0 that I purchased from Newegg 8+ yrs ago. This power supply was included in the Mini Tower Computer Case that I purchased at the same time, along with all of the other usual components to do the home build. Don't need anything high-powered for gaming, just a serviceable new power supply. Can anyone tell me what compatible options I have for replacement? Thanks

wanton cliff
#

what parts do you have and what form factor is your case?

foggy hazel
#

its a ATX psu.

#

the biggest question is "length" clearance in the case you have @stuck peak

stuck peak
#

Hello, and thank you. All parts are working fine including processer, hard drive, motherboard, graphics, etc. Power supply cuts off intermittently, so I want to replace it.

wanton cliff
#

ok but what parts do you have? if it is an older PSU a 500w bronze would be good but if they are better parts that have been upgraded after a while

#

well

foggy hazel
#

and yes, i know that is not your case

stuck peak
#

Case is IN WIN Z589T.CQ350TBL

foggy hazel
#

2sec

#

most normal (not super long) ATX psu's will fit for you @stuck peak

#

that is the one?

broken umbra
#

Christ

#

RGB fans are so expensive

#

30-50$ per fan

#

meanwhile the ugly Noctua fans with amazing airflow are like

#

29$ per fan

stuck peak
#

Yes, that is the one

foggy hazel
#

okay, then its just a question of your budget for a psu. and what potential vendor limits you have

#

you are in the US?

stuck peak
#

Yes, in the US. Will prob pick one from newegg

foggy hazel
#

2sec then

stuck peak
#

THANK YOU!!

foggy hazel
#

sorry, that is the right link @stuck peak

#

my mistake on the other one

#

and you are very welcome :)

verbal quarry
median acorn
#

What is that

#

It's just a website

foggy hazel
#

@verbal quarry consider a mp34/sn750 instead of the wd blue

#

i cannot comment on the psu in your list. I know nothing about it

median acorn
foggy hazel
median acorn
#

No it just takes me to the builder website lol

foggy hazel
#

hm

#

try and load it in a incognito tab @median acorn ?

zealous edge
#

@foggy hazel

stoic island
#

Takes me to the right page.

zealous edge
#

I have a question

foggy hazel
#

i know you do @zealous edge

zealous edge
#

My I stat up my new pc

#

Does the hdmi need to be into the gpu?

#

Or can I boot from the modo

#

Mobo

median acorn
#

Thanks

zealous edge
#

And connect to gpu later

median acorn
#

No

#

Hdmi in the GPU

#

Because you will be using the gpu for video

#

So you have to make sure it's working

#

And if it all boots then you know your CPU is working too

#

So plug the HDMI into the GPU

zealous edge
#

I plaged into the mobo and I'm on bios rn

#

The gpu lights up

foggy hazel
#

you are on a intel cpu?

zealous edge
#

Yes

#

9900k

foggy hazel
#

you forgot to plug something into your GPU then

median acorn
zealous edge
#

Lol

foggy hazel
#

(if it lights up that is)

zealous edge
#

It does

#

The gpu lights up

#

But on the bios

#

Is doesn't read anything in pcie

foggy hazel
#

yes, because as i said, you forgot to plug something IN

zealous edge
#

Into the pcie?

foggy hazel
#

in to the GPU itself

zealous edge
#

Also

median acorn
zealous edge
#

Maybe its because I used 1 gpu 8 pin into the psu to connect into my 8 x 2 pin on gpu

#

Is that why.

#

Its one cable from the psu

cerulean pelican
#

Hello. Hows everyone doing today

median acorn
foggy hazel
#

it "should" work like that, but if it doesnt, then you need 1 more cable from psu to gpu. @zealous edge

zealous edge
#

Ok

#

The fans are bot spinninh

#

Not

#

For the gpu

cerulean pelican
#

What gpu do you have

foggy hazel
#

again, as i said, something is not plugged in

zealous edge
#

Should I try and disconnect it from the pcie

foggy hazel
#

you should try and do the above

zealous edge
#

Kk

cerulean pelican
#

Also it could be that your gpu doesnt spin until it's at a certain heat mine does that

zealous edge
#

Naed

#

I'm in bois

#

Bios

#

So

#

How can I turn my pc off safely?

foggy hazel
#

exit from bios

zealous edge
#

Ok

foggy hazel
#

then just press the power button after that

cerulean pelican
#

Can anyone help me with a pc problem? My monitor cant get an hdmi nor display signsl

#

Signal

vocal plover
#

when i turn on my pre built pc, why does it send me to my bios and not windows?

foggy hazel
#

details of build needed @cerulean pelican

zealous edge
#

Ok its off

cerulean pelican
#

Ryzen 5 3500 b550m ds3h gpu is asrock 5600 xt

zealous edge
#

Should I unplug

foggy hazel
#

@vocal plover because it does not see the drive for some reason

zealous edge
#

The pc

foggy hazel
#

@zealous edge when working IN the machine ALWAYS unplug the power

zealous edge
#

Okok

cerulean pelican
#

Its all new parts too

zealous edge
#

Ty

foggy hazel
#

@cerulean pelican where are you plugged in?

cerulean pelican
#

To my gpu?

foggy hazel
#

(i have to ask)

cerulean pelican
#

Is that what you ment?

foggy hazel
#

aye

cerulean pelican
#

It's probably something simple that I dont know about. This is my first build

foggy hazel
#

and just to verify, are there usb ports near where you are plugged in? as in right next to the plug?

cerulean pelican
#

No? My gpu has 3 display 1 hdmi my monitor has 2 hdmi 2 display

foggy hazel
#

good, then yes, you are plugged in the right place

#

again, i have to ask :)

cerulean pelican
#

It's fine;)

foggy hazel
#

you just assembled the machine now or?

cerulean pelican
#

Like a week ago. Been trying to get it to work

vocal plover
#

@foggy hazel can you check dms

foggy hazel
#

could you grab a photo of the internals straight from the side (as in, open the case, and then take a photo straight into the case?)

cerulean pelican
#

Yeah

foggy hazel
#

@vocal plover as i said, its because your machine does not see the storage drive

vocal plover
#

how do i fix it

cerulean pelican
#

My phone doesnt have a very good picture sorry

#

Cable management is not there as you can see

foggy hazel
#

@cerulean pelican upper left of the mainboard, is that a cable or a weird shadow?

cerulean pelican
#

That's a cable dont know why i routed it there

foggy hazel
#

verify that that one (8pin EPS) is plugged in all the way

#

with the machine off ofc

cerulean pelican
#

Lemme open it real quick

foggy hazel
#

@vocal plover do you have a full part list?

#

@cerulean pelican keep the side off for now

#

you are going to have to check a couple of things (most likely)

cerulean pelican
#

Okay

#

Yes it's in there good

vocal plover
foggy hazel
#

okay, not please pull out the ram that is closest to the ATX plug @cerulean pelican

#

so you are left with 1 stick installed

#

and then try and power on the system again

cerulean pelican
#

It's the one in the second slot to stay in correct

foggy hazel
#

red marked one goes out

cerulean pelican
#

Oksy done

#

Okay*

foggy hazel
#

try and power on the system

cerulean pelican
#

Everything powers on the monitor just cant get a signal

zealous edge
#

Tu

#

Naed

#

Ty so much

#

Ty man

#

Ty

cerulean pelican
#

You still there naed?

foggy hazel
#

aye aye

#

just being pulled in a couple of directions @cerulean pelican :)

cerulean pelican
#

Okay sorry.

foggy hazel
#

nothing to be sorry about :)

#

this is a bit of a trick question

#

when you plug in your ram, does it "click" into place?

cerulean pelican
#

Yes. I do it for both sides and get 2 clicks

#

Meaning that it snapped into place and is locked in

#

Oh yea I think this could be the problem I don't know tho

foggy hazel
#

hm?

cerulean pelican
#

Isnt that golden thing in the left supposed to be in? Or no

zealous edge
#

Naed

#

Another question lol

foggy hazel
#

@cerulean pelican nah, that is fine

cerulean pelican
#

Okay

zealous edge
#

Can I erase only the partition with all my pc files from my old hard drive

foggy hazel
#

you cannot plug in the card "wrong" in that regard @cerulean pelican

zealous edge
#

And keep the windows partition

cerulean pelican
#

Okay

foggy hazel
#

@zealous edge windows = 2-3 partitions (depending on specific setup)

little leaf
#

Naed so I got a new kit of trident z and it has still has stability issues

zealous edge
little leaf
#

I assume its the board or cpu

zealous edge
#

I dont know..

#

Let me see

foggy hazel
#

@little leaf its as valid as any guess i have :)

zealous edge
#

Naed

#

Should I just boot

#

Into my usb

#

Then see

little leaf
#

K Ill try this last kit of gskill ripjaws

#

If it doesnt work im going to switch the cpu

foggy hazel
#

we went over what you should do the other day @zealous edge

zealous edge
#

Ik

#

That

little leaf
#

With a 9700k

zealous edge
#

Ik what to do

foggy hazel
#

then please do that.

zealous edge
#

But im not sure if I should keep my old ssd

#

With windows

#

But they are new parts and stuff

foggy hazel
#

we also covered that the other day

zealous edge
#

But I don't have another license key.

foggy hazel
#

@cerulean pelican and back to you

zealous edge
#

Il have to buy it

cerulean pelican
#

Lol

#

Busy guy?

vocal plover
#

ikr lol

foggy hazel
#

@cerulean pelican got the mainboard manual?

#

@vocal plover i see your pictures, give me a sec

vocal plover
#

take your time, feel bad you don’t got any help😂

cerulean pelican
#

I do not. Fot some reason unknown to me
My sister through away all my boxes. Like my monitor you cpu and motherboard box

#

That had it in it

foggy hazel
#

2sec then @cerulean pelican

#

what mainboard model you got?

#

b550m ds3h< - right?

cerulean pelican
#

I've got b550m ds3h

#

Yes

foggy hazel
#

grab the manual there

cerulean pelican
#

Okay..

#

What am I looking for in it

foggy hazel
#

page 19

#

CLR_CMOS

#

(middle of the page)

zealous edge
#

Naed

#

But with the installer tool

foggy hazel
#

@zealous edge have patience and wait.

zealous edge
#

I won't have the full version of windows

#

Mb

foggy hazel
#

@cerulean pelican see above

#

the those 2 pins can be triggered with a screwdriver

#

you HAVE to pull the power plug before you do this

#

or it wont work

cerulean pelican
#

It's only letting me see 1 page.

foggy hazel
#

you just touch the pins with a screwdriver for 5-10 seconds

#

its a pdf

cerulean pelican
#

I'm not very bright sorry

foggy hazel
#

no worries :)

#

please remember this:

#

There are no stupid questions, only silly answers :)

zealous edge
#

Ok

#

Naed

#

How can I get windows full version then?

#

Even if I'm booting from usb and installing windows

summer pasture
#

You can buy a key and activate it in settings later @zealous edge

zealous edge
#

But my old ssd already has windows on it...

#

Gow can I delete all other files

#

And keep windows 1p

stark bramble
#

just drag all the files over

summer pasture
#

^

zealous edge
#

Wym?

stark bramble
#

like you know how you move files from one folder to another in ur file explorer

cerulean pelican
#

So I put a screwdriver on where? I dont know what It mean the 2 pins.

zealous edge
#

Idk

stark bramble
#

just install both drives in ur device, and drag all the windows files to the new one

zealous edge
#

I rather just buy windows then..

#

There are no 2 drives lol

#

Its usb for boot

#

And ssd with windows on it with it as well

#

I can move

#

Cant**

#

Plus I don't wanna boot into the ssd with old windows

#

For a new pc

foggy hazel
#

and page 12 has a diagram that shows where on the board that actually is

#

:)

cerulean pelican
#

I'll look again. Ehat I sae eas only telling me what I can do so I didnt see it sorry

foggy hazel
#

could you try that sentence again? auto correct seems to have gone bonkers on the words?

foggy hazel
stark bramble
#

rip ok

zealous edge
#

Lol

cerulean pelican
#

I said I'll look again. What I was looking at was only telling me what I can do not showing a picture

foggy hazel
#

ah :)

zealous edge
#

@foggy hazel

#

If I use my old ssd for windows

#

For booy

#

Boot

cerulean pelican
#

I gotta take my gpu out to do that it's too bog lol

#

Big*

zealous edge
#

Will it mess anything up

#

And can I just press remove all my files

#

From reset

hazy rune
#

What are you trying to do exactly?

foggy hazel
#

@zealous edge we went over the exact steps you needed to do the other day.

zealous edge
#

Instead of installing windows again

#

I have an ssd with windows on it

#

But Can I use that for a brand new pc build

#

Will it mess anything up

hazy rune
#

Yes, but if it’s an OEM key you will have to reactivate

#

I would just buy a cheap key and start clean

zealous edge
#

Its not an Oem

#

Can I just boot from that ssd

#

With windows

#

Then clear all the files

#

That's like starting clean then..
