[foggy hazel]

you cannot "clear" the windows ssd from "inside" windows on that ssd

[hazy rune]

No, because you can’t delete all the files yourself

[zealous edge]

Not my myself

From the reset option in windows

[foggy hazel]

you have to do that from the usb stick (just like we told you the other day)

[foggy hazel]

no

[zealous edge]

Why?

But if I install from usd stick

[foggy hazel]

because you cannot remove your own body

[zealous edge]

Won't that delete stuff

Like windows

[foggy hazel]

you are the one that said, the other day, and earlier today, that you wanted a fresh start

[zealous edge]

Ik

[foggy hazel]

then why are you acting worried that it will delete things?

[zealous edge]

Do I have to delete all partitions

Because its better not to buy windows again

[foggy hazel]

that is the point of starting fresh.

IF you have a actual normal (non-oem) key

[hazy rune]

You can buy it for like $5

[foggy hazel]

you can just activate it again

simple as that.

[hazy rune]

Or link it to your Microsoft account

Before you reset

[zealous edge]

Why can't I just boot from the ssd with windows into windows??

[foggy hazel]

@cerulean pelican i saw you lurking, please ask? :)

[zealous edge]

Because the first time I booted

It allowed me to login

[hazy rune]

The right way to do it is to link it to your account, get the usb set up with windows and wipe everything

I think you’re making it harder

[zealous edge]

Is the OEM key different from the non oem key

[foggy hazel]

in what you can see? no

[hazy rune]

OEM is a type of license that is attached to the motherboard of your pc

[zealous edge]

Oh ok

That was my old p

Pc

[hazy rune]

Otherwise there is no difference

[zealous edge]

Ok

[foggy hazel]

non-oem is also tied to the mainboard

it just has multiple activation rights

[hazy rune]

Right

OEM is single use

[zealous edge]

Where can I get an OEM key

[foggy hazel]

basically yes :)

[hazy rune]

There’s a number of key resellers

I don’t have experience with them so I won’t comment on specific ones

I got my keys through university years ago

[foggy hazel]

@cerulean pelican you blown up the system or did it suddenly work?

[zealous edge]

Ok

[hazy rune]

You can try eBay

Just make sure to read feedback

[zealous edge]

Is it safe.

To buy a ORM key

[foggy hazel]

guessing you have converted them to online accounts/keys years ago?

[zealous edge]

oem

Or only from windows

[hazy rune]

Just the one I’m using

I have one extra if I need it

[foggy hazel]

ah, fair :)

[cobalt loom]

@zealous edge check your DM for assist on that.

[zealous edge]

I need it

Lol

[zealous edge]

Why would I click on that link lmao

[hazy rune]

Yeah seems sketchy

[zealous edge]

Banned

[foggy hazel]

@zealous edge please screenshot and post it here?

[zealous edge]

I got an ss

[cobalt loom]

You could or couldn’t. It’s up to you. Just trying to help.

[cobalt loom]

As you seem absolutely clueless

[zealous edge]

E z

Lol

[foggy hazel]

thats a kickback link @cobalt loom

[zealous edge]

Don't do that man

I didnt click iy

It

[cobalt loom]

Go check Robeytech’s YouTube video that he worked with manufacturers with.

[foggy hazel]

helping is okay, but at least dont post a kickback link

[zealous edge]

Kk

[hazy rune]

To be fair I don’t think it’s his kickback

[cobalt loom]

It’s not.

[foggy hazel]

its the youtubers @hazy rune

does not matter

its technically a advertisment for that channel

[hazy rune]

Fair

[cobalt loom]

Either way, just trying to help. But whatever. Find a key on your own then.

[zealous edge]

Safe?

[cobalt loom]

Which is WHY I DM’d it to him

Not open in channel until he literally just posted it

[hazy rune]

I wouldn’t spend that much

[foggy hazel]

@cobalt loom the link, without the kickback/referral part would have been fine to post

[cobalt loom]

Meh, I’m not one to post links in other DC’s just for this exact reason.

[zealous edge]

Is that safe?

Its from testing games

Yt channel

[hazy rune]

No idea, but you should be able to get one for $5

[zealous edge]

Where.?

So I can't use the windows on my other USB right

Its better just to get a new key?

For a new pc

[foggy hazel]

there is no "specific" windows on that usb

[zealous edge]

Notbusb

[foggy hazel]

its the installer for A version of windows @zealous edge

[zealous edge]

I meant ssd

Ssd

Can't use windows on my ssd

[foggy hazel]

IF you want to truly start fresh? no. you cannot

[zealous edge]

Is it better to start fresh with completely new build?

[foggy hazel]

as we told you the other day, about 6 times iirc, yes.

[zealous edge]

Kk

Il buy a key then

[outer heart]

oh man this feels good. just bought all the parts.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BQkYmk

holding out with a rx 570 until i get my hands on a 3060ti or 3070

[zealous edge]

They are completely safe right?

[hazy rune]

I take that back $15 seems reasonable

Can’t find anything cheaper that looks legit

[zealous edge]

Ok

Both?

Or which one

[hazy rune]

https://www.gamers-outlet.net/buy-windows-10-professional-oem-microsoft-global-cd-key.html?language=en&currency=USD

Maybe this but idk

[foggy hazel]

that looks like a fair build @outer heart, congratulations :)

[outer heart]

thank you!

[zealous edge]

So when it asks to pit the key it

In

I just put it in right

[foggy hazel]

correct

[outer heart]

do you happen to know if a 570 holds any resale value? hopefully gonna need it for only a little while

[foggy hazel]

very little if any @outer heart

[outer heart]

hmm ok

thank you

[foggy hazel]

but it ultimately depends on the local area around you

[hazy rune]

I mean used gpus are selling for a lot on eBay right now

[foggy hazel]

who knows, there might be interest etc

[outer heart]

yeah i checked quickly and they were ~120

[hazy rune]

Looks like $60-$80 for models that are sold

You can’t go by current listings

[outer heart]

oops haha

i could give it to a friend

[hazy rune]

Or keep it as a backup, 3600 doesn’t have integrated graphics

[outer heart]

that is also a good idea

[hazy rune]

Between shipping and eBay fee you’re looking at max $60 for your card

Up to you whether that’s worth it

[little osprey]

yeah, also if the main gpu dies

atleast there is a backup that can play most games

[hazy rune]

Yes, that’s what the backup is for

You can’t use your pc otherwise

That being said I have never had a gpu die, so...

[little osprey]

it's something rare

but can happen

[cerulean pelican]

I'm back

Sorry I had to help eith groceries

With

[foggy hazel]

no worries, see dm :)

[foggy hazel]

@zealous edge see the details at the bottom

[zealous edge]

Thats what it says

Do I need to go into bios again?

[foggy hazel]

i am puzzled by what you have done with your system

[zealous edge]

Bruh

I deleted partitions

Like you said

Should I press format?

[foggy hazel]

have at it

[zealous edge]

What should I do now man

Should I go into bios?

try a format.

[zealous edge]

I did

Repair computer??

[foggy hazel]

[zealous edge]

The home screen

It can't install windows

Maybe go into bios

Kingston ssd 240g is plugged in rn

[foggy hazel]

what version of ssd?

[zealous edge]

Wym

[foggy hazel]

m.2?

[zealous edge]

Ni

[foggy hazel]

2.5inch?

[zealous edge]

2.5 inch

[foggy hazel]

which specific port is the drive plugged into?

there are 6 ports it could be plugged into

[zealous edge]

Very bottom

The front onr

[foggy hazel]

move it up to the bottom of the top 2

[zealous edge]

I need to shot down for that

[foggy hazel]

as in, the port closest to the mainboard itself, but at the top of the 6 ports

[zealous edge]

Shut*

[foggy hazel]

yes

then do that.

[desert gulch]

yes shut down for that

[zealous edge]

How should I get out of the windows menu

Without breaking anything

[desert gulch]

what windows menu?

[zealous edge]

How do I shut off from bios??

[desert gulch]

i usually press f10 and get to windows login and shut down from there

[foggy hazel]

press power button

[desert gulch]

or that

[zealous edge]

Ok

And hold power button to drain power

After unplugging

[foggy hazel]

sure, if you want

[zealous edge]

Ok

[desert gulch]

you dont have to unplug

[foggy hazel]

hey Nil

[desert gulch]

just turn off switch on psu

its easier

[foggy hazel]

@desert gulch good practice etc

[desert gulch]

ik but switch on psu does same thing

[foggy hazel]

pulling cord = you cannot forget to flip switch

[zealous edge]

Ye

[desert gulch]

ye ig

[narrow rose]

looks like drive is not configured for uefi did we try legacy boot or in uefi convert it to MBR

[desert gulch]

but if you push power button to drain all power youll know if you forgot psu switch

[foggy hazel]

not yet Nilboggen

@desert gulch which again, is reliant on a user remembering :)

[desert gulch]

yeah i guess

[narrow rose]

I like @foggy hazels plug the plug solution its fool proof

[desert gulch]

mhmm

[foggy hazel]

all due respect to users @desert gulch, but they imo, cannot be trusted to NOT set themselves on fire

[narrow rose]

often times advice is what you should do not what I would do lol

[zealous edge]

Hold on

Just changed port

[desert gulch]

lol yup

[zealous edge]

Gonna put gpu in

[foggy hazel]

less talking, more doing @zealous edge

[zealous edge]

Ok

Done

Switched it

[gentle pilot]

Yall i wanna get some aura sync compatible rgb white fans any ideas which ones are a good value

[zealous edge]

Now?

[desert gulch]

well @gentle pilot whats your budget?

[zealous edge]

Ok

[desert gulch]

if you want best of the best I'd say corsair

[gentle pilot]

Okay okay

[zealous edge]

Naed?

[narrow rose]

https://www.neweggbusiness.com/product/product.aspx?item=9b-1yf-0010-002e1 arent the cheapest but decent fans that are white and aura compatible

[desert gulch]

cheapest would probably be uphere fans or something

[carmine geyser]

quick question, is this a good build ? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GHt2bh

[desert gulch]

but you get what you pay for

[zealous edge]

@foggy hazel

[desert gulch]

id get better ssd @carmine geyser

[zealous edge]

Should I just try and boot again?

Or switch something from the bios?

Or?

[carmine geyser]

like ?

[desert gulch]

and idk about that psu

[narrow rose]

@carmine geyser its odd why intel?

[desert gulch]

ryzne prices

[gentle pilot]

Thank you for the suggestions

[desert gulch]

nil hows that psu?

never heard of it

[zealous edge]

Where did naed go

[desert gulch]

idk

[narrow rose]

@desert gulch also never heard of it

[zealous edge]

The drive is being detected

[carmine geyser]

uh i asked my friend about getting a pc, and i wanted to know if it was good so im asking you guys

[desert gulch]

yeah i would go with a more name brand psu

[carmine geyser]

i dont know much about pc builds

[desert gulch]

like a good evga one

or a corsair

[narrow rose]

Naed will be back he is always busy with something

[desert gulch]

or seasonic

[zealous edge]

Ok

[narrow rose]

@carmine geyser Its ok I dont really like that cpu with that gpu as it will bottleneck it

I would go amd at that price point

[desert gulch]

like 3600?

[narrow rose]

yeah

[carmine geyser]

what cpu should i get than ?

[foggy hazel]

@zealous edge try and boot from the usb again, and install windows again

[desert gulch]

@zealous edge naed is back

[zealous edge]

Ok

Yea

[narrow rose]

@carmine geyser 3600 would be a better choice

[carmine geyser]

what's a 3600 ?

[desert gulch]

ryzen 5 3600

cpu

[narrow rose]

amd 3600 r5

[carmine geyser]

oh, is that comaptibale with the mobo ?

[desert gulch]

no

[narrow rose]

no

[desert gulch]

go with b450 or b550

[carmine geyser]

ok

[desert gulch]

micro atx b550 is like 80-90 $

i think

[narrow rose]

I like intel just not an i5 with a 3070

[carmine geyser]

hold up i need a name for it lmao

do i search up b550 ?

[narrow rose]

yes

[ripe wedge]

gigabyte b550m ds3h would be decent

[zealous edge]

Still the same thing

It says can't be installed

[ripe wedge]

https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-b550m-ds3h/p/N82E16813145210

[foggy hazel]

@zealous edge back to the bios

[zealous edge]

Ok

I'm im the bios

Now

[desert gulch]

so guys i just bought a hyper 212 and its gonna be here in a few days.. any steps that i need to be aware of? I know that to remove stock cooler i should run system hard so thermal paste becomes less gluey and i need to not yank on cpu cooler and rip cpu out of socket

[ripe wedge]

take it off slowly

[zealous edge]

Thats what it says

[desert gulch]

yes

[zealous edge]

UEGI

[ripe wedge]

so u dont rip the 3600 out the socket

[zealous edge]

Uefi

[desert gulch]

im not gonna be one of those ppl lol

[foggy hazel]

twist, dont pull.

its as simple as that

[carmine geyser]

and what cpu should i get ?

[desert gulch]

ok

yeah i was reading on that

[narrow rose]

dont really need to run it hard to get paste hot or anything it should come apart pretty easy as Naed said with a twist

[desert gulch]

ryzen 5 3600

hmm yeah ill do it just to be safe

[zealous edge]

@foggy hazel

I'm waiting in the bios

[desert gulch]

ive heard the pre applied paste on stock coolers is like glue on reddit and such

[narrow rose]

not in my experience of pulling a few 1000 off

[desert gulch]

ok

ever ripped a cpu out of socket nil?

[narrow rose]

not once

[desert gulch]

good

[carmine geyser]

i cant find the ryzen 5 3600 on pcpartpicker

[desert gulch]

its very shallow on stock

[foggy hazel]

@zealous edge yes, and you are not the only one i am helping, so again. have some patience.

[desert gulch]

i wouldnt buy it for over 200, its msrp

[zealous edge]

Ok

[carmine geyser]

oh, than you guys recommend me a pc that i can get now for 1000 ?

[desert gulch]

ryzen 5 3600

it may take a day for it to come back

idk havent look at its stock recently

[narrow rose]

killed a x299 mobo one time with an XE chip but that was install not removal and mostly because thats the dumbest socket ever

[desert gulch]

yo evin its on pcpp

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/9nm323/amd-ryzen-5-3600-36-thz-6-core-processor-100-100000031box

there you go

its $199 USD here

not best price but I'd say its fair

[carmine geyser]

oh

sorry thank yo

u

[desert gulch]

yup np

[foggy hazel]

@zealous edge in the bios, there is tab called "bios"

[zealous edge]

Ok

Where

[desert gulch]

in bios

[foggy hazel]

go back to the "boot" tab

[zealous edge]

Ok

I'm there

[foggy hazel]

"storage boot option" set it to legacy

[carmine geyser]

uh what do i do ?

[zealous edge]

Storage boot option control?

[foggy hazel]

yes @zealous edge

[zealous edge]

Done

[foggy hazel]

save and exit

[severe axle]

@carmine geyser you probably have an intel mobo in list

it will filter by compatibility

[foggy hazel]

see what the installer says this time around @zealous edge

[zealous edge]

Ok

[carmine geyser]

oh

ok

back

[zealous edge]

Still no

@foggy hazel

[marsh kiln]

can anyone recommend a good starter pc for gaming either 150 or under i am trying to find one for my friend he has never had a "gaming" really and i thought about getting him one for X-mas

[carmine geyser]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QYqjBc here's the current build

[zealous edge]

Still says that

[foggy hazel]

@narrow rose got any bright ideas?

[narrow rose]

yeah back to uefi and change disk to mbr

[zealous edge]

There is no option

[narrow rose]

has to be done in command line

[zealous edge]

Ok

[foggy hazel]

first, set it to uefi, in the bios

then save and exit

[narrow rose]

would be much easier if we could stick it in a pc with windows

should be able to do it with usb windows install

[zealous edge]

Ok

Done

[foggy hazel]

boot from the usb

[zealous edge]

Uefi

Booted from usb

I'm in the installer menu now

Where it asks language

[foggy hazel]

go to recovery mode

[zealous edge]

Hiw

How

[narrow rose]

shift + F10

that might only open command prompt but that works too cant remember

[zealous edge]

Diskpart

Right?

Brb

[waxen mesa]

I'm a pc brainlet, but would using grub boot help him? Or maybe MiniTool Partition Wizard to repair/make changes to the Master Boot Record?

[zealous edge]

Il come back

Brb in 10 mins

[waxen mesa]

Previously I had grub set up to allow me to choose betwen w7 and ubuntu on the same disk, idk

[foggy hazel]

he can do what he needs from the cmd

[narrow rose]

yep

[foggy hazel]

so loading a secondary loader is just busy work at that point

the idea IS valid.

but he is confused enough as is

[waxen mesa]

Heard that! 😄

[narrow rose]

yeah drives can be a pain sometimes

[foggy hazel]

and the challenge here is that is a history with that user

[narrow rose]

lol

[waxen mesa]

aah.

[foggy hazel]

i think this is day 10 or so with this

conclude what you want from that

[unborn flicker]

OOOF

[narrow rose]

remember the slave/master jumpers that really threw people for a loop back in the day

[foggy hazel]

oh yes

the best part of sata was NOT the speed or anything

it was the lack of those darn jumpers

[narrow rose]

lol

[foggy hazel]

because its logical enough for us

but its a nightmare to explain to someone

"now, place the drive with the pcb facing down"

"now, put the jumper on pin 1 and 2, from the left, in the top row"

[narrow rose]

kind of like we are dealing with the software equivelant right now lol

[foggy hazel]

1 hour later, you figure out that the user placed it pcb facing up

1 second later you have a telephone sized hole in the wall

[narrow rose]

oh yeah those jumpers

[foggy hazel]

which ones were you talking about Nil?

[narrow rose]

the old pre sata drives

I see how "oh yeah" makes it sound like I was talking about some other jumpers but its because of the lack of inflection in typing lol

[foggy hazel]

aye aye, the IDE jumpers, which is also what i was talking about:)

so yeah, we stand united as old farts :P

[narrow rose]

yep

also remember when cpu pins actually were fragile?

I know that somehow people bend/break them today but man back in the day if you looked at it wrong

[foggy hazel]

eh, if we go back far enough, they were thick as heck

[narrow rose]

pretty sure I could flick the pins off this amd thunderbird i have lol

[foggy hazel]

ah aye aye, around that period, they started scaling up pin density, and yes, we have a number of generations with VERY weak pins there

on the topic of pins

i miss socket 1/A

[sharp tundra]

What up techies

Been a while

[narrow rose]

lol we all do good old 486 maybe a 386 I dont remember

[foggy hazel]

nah, that was the pentium 2/3 and k7 athlons

the long vertical "cartridge" like slots

[narrow rose]

oh thats right 486 is just "socket 1"

[foggy hazel]

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/75/Asus_P3C2000_-_Slot_1-8626.jpg/1920px-Asus_P3C2000_-_Slot_1-8626.jpg

[narrow rose]

so simple

[foggy hazel]

aye

[narrow rose]

socket 1 was more traditional

[foggy hazel]

aye

that is the non-intel one thou

the one you have there iirc

[narrow rose]

generic works with intel though

[foggy hazel]

aye aye

because iirc, (and its been a while) intels had the lever even then

[narrow rose]

yeah it did little blue socket

[foggy hazel]

that was ... overdrive ...

or something like that

[narrow rose]

this guy

[foggy hazel]

aye

overdrive

holy hell you are making me wade around in some dusty braincells mate

[narrow rose]

google doesnt have a good pic of the OG I could probably find my old 486/586 if I dig around my basement

[foggy hazel]

:)

[narrow rose]

all the irrelevant ancient PC knowledge could come in handy someday....LOL

[sly tapir]

I broke my computer lmao

[ripe wedge]

require high res images of socket 1

[foggy hazel]

aye Nil

[narrow rose]

lol they are both really high res for some reason

[wild cairn]

Anyone wants to swap a 6800xt with a 3080 BNIB, Canada

[zealous edge]

Nil

I'm back

[sly tapir]

You could super sample the image to increase its 'quality'

[zealous edge]

Tell me what to do now pls

[narrow rose]

diskpart

then press enter

list disk

then press enter

[zealous edge]

Ok

[narrow rose]

then remember the number

[zealous edge]

Eo i select language first btw

[foggy hazel]

picture of what you see

[sly tapir]

Hey Nilboggen what would you recommend for a 10 day old new build graphics card turning off after 10 seconds of the system being turned on

[zealous edge]

Should I select language

[narrow rose]

where did cmd prompt go?

[zealous edge]

I went back from it

Its back

[narrow rose]

on purpose?

[zealous edge]

Yes

[foggy hazel]

please DO NOT do things you are NOT asked to do

[zealous edge]

Ok sorry

[narrow rose]

what was the drive number?

[zealous edge]

0

I think

[foggy hazel]

do things again

[sly tapir]

😅

[foggy hazel]

and then show a picture

[narrow rose]

at least of the list drives response

[zealous edge]

I didnt do anything

Still here

[narrow rose]

last thing i asked you to do was list the drives can you show that screen

[zealous edge]

I did shift f10 from the language page

[narrow rose]

I cant read that but whats the number

[narrow rose]

so that doesnt make sense like where did the previous instance go?

start over i guess

[zealous edge]

I didnt start yet...

Ok lol

[narrow rose]

type : diskpart

[foggy hazel]

(sorry Nil, trying to save you some time)

[narrow rose]

lol no problem

[narrow rose]

so it is 0

[zealous edge]

Select disk 0

[narrow rose]

yep

then type: clean

press enter

then type: convert mbr

press enter

[zealous edge]

One question

[narrow rose]

once it finishes type: exit

[zealous edge]

Can I try to install just after doing clean?

[narrow rose]

no

[zealous edge]

Ok

[narrow rose]

why would you want to?

it needs to be a master drive

[zealous edge]

What does mbr do

Done

[narrow rose]

turns it into a master boot record

type: exit

then hit enter

[zealous edge]

Done

Done

[narrow rose]

now install as normal

[narrow rose]

new

[zealous edge]

Maybe because I'd didnt make partition yea

Still no

[narrow rose]

screenshot

format

[zealous edge]

Nope

[narrow rose]

wont format?

[zealous edge]

It did I think

[foggy hazel]

picture

[zealous edge]

I think if I made a partition first

[narrow rose]

@sly tapir did it only ever display for the 10 minutes

[sly tapir]

Hmmm il upload it to YouTube and then send it

It flashes no display on and off every 30 seconds

[zealous edge]

Now I should do it again I think

The mbr

[narrow rose]

@zealous edge it is a partition just format and install

or show error msg

[zealous edge]

When I like format it shows a loading sign

[narrow rose]

@sly tapir did you reseat the card

@zealous edge let it finish

[zealous edge]

It finished

And that shows up

[sly tapir]

Indeed I have also swapped out the pcie 8 pin connector

[foggy hazel]

press next

[sly tapir]

I have also repeated the ram

[zealous edge]

I did

[sly tapir]

Adjusted the 24 pin motherboard connector

[zealous edge]

An nothing happens

[sly tapir]

Made sure the hdmi cable was connected to the computer vis take out and back in

[narrow rose]

@zealous edge only thing I could suggest then is to reformat the usb and put another copy of the windows install on there

it shows the drive we know its mbr now you are in uefi unless the windows install is corrupted or the drive itself is damaged I cant think of anything that could be wrong

[foggy hazel]

and i am out of ideas for now

and i am turning in for the night. (close to 03 at night here)

[narrow rose]

later

[zealous edge]

Kk

[narrow rose]

@sly tapir using the right 8 pin right?

[zealous edge]

Should I get windows installer again

[narrow rose]

pcie one?

[zealous edge]

Is something wrong with any other parts?

Or can it be the drive

[sly tapir]

Indeed using an 8 pin

Pcie connector

[narrow rose]

@zealous edge yeah first thing I would try is a new copy of the windows install

[zealous edge]

Thats what it says

[narrow rose]

its either the disk or the installer

[zealous edge]

Yea

Ok

Il install it again the

[sly tapir]

Btw the total tdp is around 130 wats lower then the psu

Recommended spec*

[zealous edge]

If I turn off my pc

Will that ruin it?

The mbr

[narrow rose]

@sly tapir what cpu?

@zealous edge nope

[sly tapir]

R5600x

[zealous edge]

Ok

[narrow rose]

so no onboard graphics.

[sly tapir]

Nope

So far I'm thinking the pay is unhappy

Psu*

[narrow rose]

did you also plug the 8 pin into the motherboard?

another one not the same one it sounded wierd when i read that

[sly tapir]

Indeed

[narrow rose]

and you said you reseated the ram

[sly tapir]

The computer was working fine for around a week before this happened

Indeed I have

[narrow rose]

does gpu have lights normally?

[sly tapir]

Sadly not j can tell it's off via its fans though

[narrow rose]

fans used to turn on at start on gpu?

[sly tapir]

The fans have to be running for the gou to run any load

Gpu*

[narrow rose]

so not at start up though?

[sly tapir]

Especially at startup

[narrow rose]

oh ok so we know its not getting normal power

[zealous edge]

There

Nil

It works

But

I had to select

[narrow rose]

most gpu fans dont spin at startup

[zealous edge]

The i don't have a product key

Then where do I put my key?

[narrow rose]

when it asks or after install it will keep asking you for it

[zealous edge]

Ayy nil

Ok

I selected windows 10 pro

[sly tapir]

I always hear the fans on the GPU throtteling on startup usually

[narrow rose]

@sly tapir is there another 16x slot on that motherboard?

[zealous edge]

There

Tysm

[narrow rose]

@zealous edge there you go good to go

[zealous edge]

Yeaaa

Les go

[somber marsh]

Nice

[sly tapir]

Sadly not lol

It's a small ass board

[narrow rose]

well first thing I would try is another PSU if you can get a hold of one

it could be the GPU is just dead but that should be unlikely

[sly tapir]

I so have a 550w in my closet but my tdp is like 50w under that

[narrow rose]

thats fine try that

[zealous edge]

Nil

Will it auto download my drivers

For my gpu

[narrow rose]

we wont run cp2077 or anything it will be fine

[sly tapir]

Thank you I will come back with what I have done tommorow ❤

[narrow rose]

@zealous edge no you will need to download them even if windows does give you some from 6 months ago

[sly tapir]

Cp you mean unpostimised computer killer

[narrow rose]

@sly tapir ok someone will be on that can help

very well just not by this discord lol

[sly tapir]

You can never be to talented

[narrow rose]

don't tell him I said so but I think Naed's even smarter than me 🤫

[zealous edge]

Ok

[somber marsh]

🚶‍♂️

[gleaming quartz]

what about dababy

[somber marsh]

Spittin

We gettin off topic

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6g2D7X is there anything I shou change on this list

[gleaming quartz]

this is a hypothetical list, right?

since some of these things are out of stock

[somber marsh]

Yeah imma build this next year

No 3080s lmao

[gleaming quartz]

yeah hopefully the 3000's arent so inflated in price next year

since i got my 3070 for $700

[somber marsh]

L 😭

[little osprey]

Are the 1080ti usually $800 or how much are they?

[vital warren]

probably like 300 used

[gleaming quartz]

geez what a steal

[little osprey]

Yea true

[carmine geyser]

is this chat still dead ?

or has it awokon ?

can you guys tell me if this is a good build ? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dsD92V

[little osprey]

Decent cxm has coil whine and why ONE fan aio

[carmine geyser]

what does that mean ?

[wanton cliff]

your cooler has one fan

which is not good

on an AIO

[carmine geyser]

should it have more ?

[wanton cliff]

at least 2 IMO

I would also do a Zen3 CPU rather than tenth gen intel

[waxen mesa]

or 10 😄

save money on heating your home

[carmine geyser]

what's a zan3

zen

[wanton cliff]

AMD CPUs

[carmine geyser]

ok

[wanton cliff]

assuming you are just gaming?

[carmine geyser]

yes sir

[wanton cliff]

actually hold onm

imma just redo your build

[carmine geyser]

can you guys give me a 1000 build

yea.. lol ty

[wanton cliff]

yeah sure

[waxen mesa]

"just gaming"

[wanton cliff]

pretty sure thats not how math works

[waxen mesa]

my boy here games so hard his chair needs a seatbelt

[wanton cliff]

how many cores?

on your CPu?

[carmine geyser]

uh 6 ?

[wanton cliff]

ok

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/74sddD

can you opwn that?

[carmine geyser]

maybe

[wanton cliff]

open*

[carmine geyser]

hyes

[upper cobalt]

[wanton cliff]

around the same performance for $200 less

[wanton cliff]

yeah my modem has been weird

gonna replace it in a minute actually

[carmine geyser]

thank you

[wanton cliff]

in fact im pretty sure my build is significantly better

3060Ti is on par with a 2080 super if I remember correctly

and a 5600X is crazy fast

that build is better than my current one

[carmine geyser]

?

[little osprey]

Tf

Oops sent wrong link

Sorry

Meant to be pcpp

[ashen girder]

GTX 3090???

[little osprey]

Huh

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CTMzht @carmine geyser

Better in my opinion

[carmine geyser]

hmm

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/B2k2W3 is this better, i revised it a little, i would a perfer an intel build..

[little osprey]

Why intel over amd

[carmine geyser]

because, i trust intels stuff a little bit more

i had a bad experience iwth amd once

[little osprey]

AMD gotten ALOT better

I trust amd a lot more

But I can make a list for youintel if u want

Keep in mind that ur gaming new amd chips will beat intel by a lot

[carmine geyser]

make the intel list please

[little osprey]

Ok

[thorny tusk]

Amd not buget tho

[muted patio]

GPU software, yes. Processors, oh heck no

[little osprey]

AMD will be cheaper overall

[median horizon]

I mean

[thorny tusk]

Not really none off the parts are in stock at a good price

[median horizon]

You can spend less on some coffee lake processors at least

9900k and the other 9000 CPU’s are going for some good prices rn

[thorny tusk]

Not intel amd

[median horizon]

If you don’t mind losing performance, and prefer a more mature platform @carmine geyser , coffee lake might work best

[carmine geyser]

what's coffee lake

[median horizon]

I’m just saying coffee lake is p good rn

9900, 9700, etc

[carmine geyser]

oh

[median horizon]

The performance gain with 10th Gen isn’t worth it

[thorny tusk]

Yep but I was saying amd good at msrp better then intel

[median horizon]

By miles, definitely

[carmine geyser]

@little osprey if you're done with the list please dm me it

[thorny tusk]

But you cant get amd at msrp

[median horizon]

But rn with stock and stuff, 9th Gen won’t be bad

[carmine geyser]

yerr

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Dvdyt8

[carmine geyser]

okay tyyy

[little osprey]

Wait

Ima ask some people to make sure if it’s good

[median horizon]

@little osprey

Does your case support a Noctua NH-D15?

[carmine geyser]

oka

[median horizon]

Because it’s only $5 more then your current cooler

[little osprey]

I don’t have a pc

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zjRrRT

[median horizon]

same ngl.

[little osprey]

Ye sit does

[median horizon]

Then take that over the Scythe

[little osprey]

Ya

Look at this list https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CTMzht compared to this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zjRrRT

[median horizon]

@narrow rose remind me, Intel doesn’t scale well with ram speed right

[narrow rose]

I mean yes...

it just doesnt help it any

core clock isnt affected by ram speed

[little osprey]

@narrow rose is his list good https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zjRrRT

[median horizon]

I’d drop the RAM to like

3000mhz? It’s safe and doesn’t kick the ram in the knees

[narrow rose]

nah I would leave the 3200

[median horizon]

Ah

Hm

Isn’t the 10700k cheaper then the 10700kf?

[narrow rose]

my 8700k gets along well with my 4666mhz ram 😉

but like no real performance increase so if I could go back in time and save that money and keep the 3200 that I had I would lol

unless there is a huge savings by going 3000 vs 3200

[median horizon]

@little osprey I keep finding the kf to be more expensive then the K

So drop that down, save some more

[narrow rose]

KF vs K get whatever is cheaper

[median horizon]

Also worst case if your gpu needs to be RMA’d, you at least get to fallback on your iGPU

[narrow rose]

@little osprey I approve of the build I like it

[little osprey]

I’d pay more for amd

Ok

I don’t want intel

I was just curious

[narrow rose]

but @median horizon is right about the 10700K vs 10700KF

[median horizon]

Also I don’t get why Intel prices the KF higher then the K

[carmine geyser]

@little osprey about ur build here https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Dvdyt8 , do you think you can find a cpu that's in stock ?

[little osprey]

It is in stock and when are h buying

[carmine geyser]

around now ish

oh wait

it is

it says 85 dollars on best buy but 135 on amazon

sigh

[narrow rose]

the real question is Is the only white 3060ti the galax one??

[median horizon]

@little osprey tbh depending on what you want, you can look at benchmarks and determine if the 3200 is worth it

Also idk, has Gigabyte even released 3060ti models?

[narrow rose]

I mean that white case needs white parts

"asus registers rog strix white rtx 3060 ti" I cant find a pic but it might exist

[median horizon]

Wait what case is he using again lemme check

Nil

I’m sorry but

Corsair 4000D performs better for a cheaper price, and in multiple colors

Time for 4000D AF supremacy

[narrow rose]

its a nice looking case

[whole forum]

bruh i so glad I bought my 1660 ti and 5 3600X 3 months ago now they are all mad overpriced because of shortages

[narrow rose]

kind of looks like an imac pro lol

[median horizon]

Lol.

Dude I’m such a fanboy for the 4000D it’s not even funny

[little osprey]

@median horizon I agree on the 4000D

I have it myself

[median horizon]

It’s so unbelievably good for only $80

[little osprey]

Lol, got mine new for $25

With 6 fans as well

[median horizon]

Isnt the solid front panel quieter and cheaper, for a light hit to performance

[stoic island]

smh

td500 mesh

[narrow rose]

haf x evo is my go to but its kind of ugly I like it because it has real handles, horizontal motherboard, and they are stackable.

[next kestrel]

meshify c when it goes on those 70$ sales is pretty good value

[stoic island]

MX330-g air

:P

[median horizon]

It’s a bit small and doesn’t please my aesthetic, but definitely a good case

[narrow rose]

meshify c and mx330-g are my most recommended cases for new builders and budget builds

that mx330-g is so cheap

[little osprey]

I'm waiting on 6800XT

[narrow rose]

I've seen it on sale for like $25 and its a decent case with great airflow and it doesnt look to bad

[whole harbor]

mx410 is also good

Mx330

But more airflow

another fan

$60

[next kestrel]

meshify c is really high quality

you'd notice it a bit if you built more

[stoic island]

MX330-g air with the 3 included fans for 55$ is a great deal almost always

[next kestrel]

but everything about the case is super simple and nice to build in

[stoic island]

Mesh, Tempered glass, Enough pre-installed fans

[whole harbor]

@stoic island

[next kestrel]

easily cleanable dust filters lol

[whole harbor]

mx410

[narrow rose]

meshify c is great also just a little more money and more nice to haves

[whole harbor]

is another fan

And more airflow on top

I think

For $5 more

[next kestrel]

once it consistently hits 70$, i hope it becomes the "default" case

like the H510 was for a while before people discovered airflow

[little osprey]

Is this list good https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/dpJJgt

[stoic island]

fair

the version I saw had glass/plastic front lel

[whole harbor]

Nvm

[stoic island]

mesh version is good tho

[next kestrel]

the only thing in ur build i question is your "Stella fans"

[stoic island]

lol

[little osprey]

https://gelidsolutions.com/thermal-solutions/stella-argb-fan/

[stoic island]

I want to question monitors

[median horizon]

Why 1080 monitor?

You’ve got a 3060ti and R5 3600

[narrow rose]

I dont like the keyboard or the mouse or the monitors (hopefully you already own those and arent paying those prices) but I like the pc part

[next kestrel]

2 fans for 45$?

[little osprey]

Gaming

[stoic island]

think mz60 is decent

like another gk61

[median horizon]

Reasonably good pairing but I’d get a 1440p monitor tbh

[narrow rose]

you cant pay $260 anythings for that 144hz monitor

[little osprey]

I’m getting wireless version on glorious model o

[little osprey]

Cad

[narrow rose]

ok I like the wireless model o

[little osprey]

Fully hotswapp

[next kestrel]

get 300$ 240hz one

for gaming

[stoic island]

cad

[little osprey]

No,point

[next kestrel]

why not?

[little osprey]

Waste of money

[stoic island]

@little osprey I mean build quality wise, like I think HK might have some qc things with the gk61

[little osprey]

Huh

[next kestrel]

it isnt?

with your setup it can def do 240hz in esports titles

[stoic island]

but mz60 I have no idea about

[little osprey]

I like the room for cable management in the 4000D as well as the psu shroud

[stoic island]

bit wacky

[little osprey]

Ik

[little osprey]

Carter’s pc discord server recommend it

[median horizon]

If I were you go 1440p tbh

[stoic island]

Yea I think it's another gk61, but I seriously don't know anything beyond that

no idea who carter is but yea

[little osprey]

Expensive in cad

[little osprey]

Lol it’s a tech tiktoker perosn

[narrow rose]

maybe this monitor https://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=22_700_1103&item_id=094124

[stoic island]

Cloud 2 also decent iirc

[little osprey]

And they said stellas are better the ll120s and mz60 is food

[stoic island]

monitor wise is weird

[little osprey]

Link?

[stoic island]

I mean the headset

in the list

[little osprey]

I thought 24g2 is good

[stoic island]

24g2...?

the monitor?

lube?

[little osprey]

I have a 24" 1080p 144hz 1 ms lg monitor for $150. It's all I need

[little osprey]

Ya

[median horizon]

A cool monitor I might suggest is M27Q, FI27Q or Q-P

[stoic island]

like

what is it

I think there's an AOC 24g2 or whatever

[narrow rose]

or save a little somewhere and get this https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/aoc-27-fhd-165hz-1ms-gtg-curved-va-led-freesync-gaming-monitor-c27g2-black-red/14777942?irclickid=2aky1Xw0ExyLUZh0MKVSfWfHUkE3zFQFRV2%3AwU0&ref=affiliate&utm_content=79301&utm_source=IR&acmp=PCPartPicker&utm_term=641751&irgwc=1

[median horizon]

All are pretty good and should be in a reasonable price range

[stoic island]

but it also could be lube, like 205g0

[little osprey]

Ya the one in my list

[narrow rose]

his options are limited hes in canada

[stoic island]

tanks

[narrow rose]

prices are super weird

[stoic island]

cheapest decent 1440p monitor I see is 440cad
https://www.newegg.ca/p/N82E16824737008

so ya

[narrow rose]

right?

how many us dollars is 440 cad

[little osprey]

At one point 3600 was cheaper in cad then us

[narrow rose]

$345 a little steep

yeah thats why I said weird somethings are cheaper some more expensive in a random sort of way

[little osprey]

I spent $300 on my 4k monitor....

[median horizon]

I mean the Canadian economy is a wreck rn

[little osprey]

Tbh, I overspent

[little osprey]

And ours isn't?

[narrow rose]

don't tell him that lol

[median horizon]

Fair enough.

[little osprey]

Not really it’s really high rn

[median horizon]

Oh damn

Really?

[little osprey]

Ya before COVID it was .74 now it’s .78

[median horizon]

Nice

[narrow rose]

US is actually doing much better than I or most people thought it would be

[zealous edge]

Hey guys

From my new pc haha

I have an aorus motherboard

and I have a cooler master rgb ran
