K, just checking. It's happened before

#

I would say remove the card and reseat it

#

Also a CMOS clear might help also

limber light
#

Any suggestions for a 850W/1000W power supply and a 430W/500W power supply! Thanks ahead of time.

muted patio
#

Corsair CX series, no M

mortal void
#

Sapphire Pulse or Gigabyte Gaming OC for 5700XT? Both are same price. Tech Jesus said they were the top 2 overall Cards

muted patio
#

Sapphire

mortal void
#

Bet

muted patio
#

Sapphire has always had great AMD cards as well as Powercolor

mortal void
#

interesting. According to PCPP base and overclock speeds are higher on the Sapphire than the Gaming OC

#

also like the look of the Pulse, and the Pulse is smaller so no or less GPU sag

elfin remnant
#

Can anyone check this build for me its for a friend and im not up to date with current gen hardwarw

muted patio
#

3600 cl 16 ram

#

Don't hamstring that 5900x lol

elfin remnant
#

Yeah my bad i thought it was cl 14

#

Misread

muted patio
#

I'd also shoot for like a P500A case

elfin remnant
#

Ok thanks

muted patio
#

I mean, nothing wrong with that case if they want white

#

but the P500A has some of the best airflow on the market for $100

#

The other thing is

#

3600 C16 ram is likely to be cheaper than the 3200 CL14

#

same performance

elfin remnant
#

Yeah i still have alot of budget so i might just grab c14 3600

muted patio
#

That works too!

quick shore
#

I caved in

#

I sent a warranty request to amd

#

hopefully my cpu falls under warranty

#

I was going to originally and wait for another cpu but the stock won’t come in time for when I need my pc up and running again

strange dew
#

What are some small micro-ATX cases that don't require liquid cooling & can support most graphics cards?

desert gulch
#

Budget?

strange dew
#

apologies for the long-winded question :D

#

$150 budget

quick shore
#

I could send u one

#

hol up

strange dew
#

!!

brazen veldt
#

No progress so far from earlier

quick shore
#

this is the case I use Rn

#

rn*

#

It’s great

#

I bought back in the summer for my college build

#

it’s a good size and not too heavy

strange dew
#

this is good but I'm talking small

#

tiny stuff

quick shore
#

that’s as micro atx as they go

strange dew
#

I've seen much smaller but mini-itx could work too

quick shore
#

If u want smaller then mini itx is the way to go

strange dew
#

yea mini-itx*

quick shore
#

why U need such a small case for if I may ask

#

is it like gonna be a portable machine

strange dew
#

yep

quick shore
#

ahhhh I see

#

hmmm

#

How big of a gpu

#

2 or 3 fan?

strange dew
#

I've only built two computers ever and I don't know which gpu's are compatible with which cases

#

and IF liquid cooling is necessary

strange dew
stoic island
#

@strange dew btw, the smaller form factor is ITX

#

ITX is smaller than mATX

quick shore
#

the latter ain’t unless ur overclocking

#

hmmm a mini itx case that can fit a 2 fan

strange dew
#

Oh I don't mind that then

stoic island
#

I mean

#

NR200p likely does

desert gulch
#

Razer makes a nice mini itx case oirc

strange dew
#

I'm thinking of one of those new Ryzen's and a compatible card

desert gulch
#

Iirc

strange dew
#

are there any CPUs that are known to be good for streaming?

quick shore
#

any ryzen 5 or 7

#

mainly 7 tho

velvet osprey
#

5600x, 3070, 1tb we nvme, 1tb ssd 2.5, 4x8 tridesent z neo 3600 cas16, h100 I cappelix w/ 6 ll120 fans in lian li 2 mesh ....with either x570 rog strix e orrr x570 asus tuff PRO not plus also cant decide on psu right now I have evga BQ 750w, corsair cx650f rgb, and season focus GX-750. Plz advise?

strange dew
#

Yea I have a ryzen 5 and its alright so a ryzen 7 should be good

quick shore
#

since u got the Fort Knox budget then go for a 7

#

only issue is tho fam is that a lot of ryzen is out of stock

strange dew
#

that's alright I can wait

quick shore
#

U would be looking for this new machine in early January tops

stoic island
#

@velvet osprey I'd grab the Focus plus GX 750w

#

best quality wise out of the 3

quick shore
#

Like around 9-12th at best

velvet osprey
#

@stoic island thank you

strange dew
#

For now I'm going to look into which cards fit in this case that Mr1111 linked and if certain parts arent compatible with mini-itx cases/motherboards

stoic island
#

A lot

quick shore
#

^^

stoic island
quick shore
#

even then the airflow might be bad due to the small form factor

stoic island
#

it has most if not all partner models with their lengths listed

quick shore
#

it’s going to be an interesting build nonetheless

strange dew
#

TBH... how good are $600-700 laptops?

stoic island
#

They're low powered desktops.

velvet osprey
#

Mobo? X570 pro wifi asus tuff orrrrr rog strix x570-e gaming

stoic island
#

Literally

#

@velvet osprey what about B550 aorus elite ax

quick shore
#

u can cook chicken on them tops

stoic island
#

for 170$ on Newegg

#

Bios flashback is a great feature

spark raven
#

Would assume so but idk where my motherboard cooling brackets are and am upgrading to an AIO. Would assume i could get any replacment parts on Amazon for the AM4 socket (R5 2600x cpu)

stoic island
#

uh?

#

Some AIOs don't need stock mounting hardware

velvet osprey
#

Usb c front connector?/? Wifi?

stoic island
#

and has their own backplate and all

#

@velvet osprey Yes and yes

spark raven
#

Mine does. Coolermaster MX240ML

#

Something like that

stoic island
#

ML240 I assume, well, look around for AM4 stock backplate and you might find em

spark raven
#

Yeah I found an order then I was just making sure that they would work on any motherboard as long as the socket is the same

stoic island
#

Yea they should

spark raven
#

Assumed so thanks for your time

stoic island
#

You're welcome

#

Too expensive for that prebuilt

elfin remnant
#

Any immediate issues you guys see, he already has a 2080

stoic island
#

@tired hamlet It's relatively more mid end

#

but it is very overpriced

#

I'd price it closer to like 1400$ maybe

frozen junco
#

So I got home with my 3060 ti

#

Right now I have the system running off of intregrated graphics

#

Do I install the drivers then card or card then drivers

muted patio
#

Did you ever have a GPU in the system?

frozen junco
#

No

muted patio
#

Install card, then drivers

#

Drivers won't install without the card

frozen junco
#

It is running off intel integrated graphics

#

Ok

muted patio
#

One you get the nVidia drivers installed, disable the Intel GPU in Device manager

#

Else games will get confused and sometimes use that instead

frozen junco
#

Ok

#

F I thought the adapter for the card was shorter lol

#

It is so long

#

The dongle I now have to re run the gpu cable

serene pond
#

ayyyy i got my new pc to work

frozen junco
#

Congratulations

sharp drum
#

steveconfused that feeling you get when someone scores a 3060 and has to ask about installing it

worldly pagoda
#

The case and cpu cooling that I have aren't on the website

muted patio
#

The gpu. $550 for a 1080 oof

upper cobalt
#

wdym

#

oh

worldly pagoda
#

Yes I'm changing the gpu, but is it just that?

muted patio
#

$170 for B450 also, Get B550 instead

worldly pagoda
#

Couldn't find it there

#

I was gonna get the B550

granite barn
#

can someone build me a pc part picker list please

stoic island
#

B550 aorus elite ax is 170$

#

as an example

#

that's what I'd consider a high end b550 board too

little osprey
#

Guys I need help please. I am new to PCs in general. I need to build a PC but unfortuntly the newegg build system does not block you from adding parts that are not compatible. Can someone please help and take a look at my list to make sure all parts are compatible. Feel free to change parts if needed. https://newegg.io/01f3702

#

*unfortunately

stoic island
little osprey
#

Thank you. Will pcpartpicker stop me if I try and add a part thats not compatible with something I have? I apprciate the help

stoic island
#

It'll give you the warnings

#

and you can send it our way to double check it too.

little osprey
#

Gotcha. I really appreciate it!

stoic island
#

But also, we're more about getting more bang for your buck, so a lot of the suggestions we will give are based off price and features.

little osprey
#

Yeah no problem at all. Let me make this list and ill send it so you can let me know what you think. Thanks again

stoic island
#

You're welcome

Hello

mortal void
#

anyone know of a better MOBO than the b450 steel legend. Concerned about the board specs and looking at alternatives

#

currently looking at these

rain patrol
#

whats that

#

sorry im new

stoic island
#

@mortal void for what chip

mortal void
#

3600

#

steel legend is nice but concerned about M.2 Slot specs

stoic island
#

What currency?

mortal void
#

CAD. Nothing more than $150. That's how much the Steel Legend is

rain patrol
#

oh now i understand

mortal void
#

needs 2 M.2 slots

rain patrol
stoic island
#

gotcha

#

B550m pro4 to start off @mortal void

odd crypt
#

Hey

#

@stoic island

#

I got a question

rain patrol
#

what

rain patrol
#

whats that

stoic island
#

screw that psu but

rain patrol
#

ok

stoic island
#

@odd crypt 1650 super or 5500xt when they're 200$ or less

little osprey
#

I have the list I made - can you take a look and let me know what I need to adjust. I would like to drop that current price but dont know where I should make adjustments. As long as I can upgrade parts in the future then Im good. I want to stay around 1,500-1,600 bucks - https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7Bqrp2

odd crypt
#

Idk

#

What one should I go with

day 91 of waiting for the 3300x stock

stoic island
fossil halo
#

wait actually

#

can some one help me with realtek

stoic island
#

realtek is weird

fossil halo
#

realtek is the stupidest thing in the world

#

i may have a dead sound card

random galleon
#

Yo new egg, I need your infinite knowledge on what this cable is

fossil halo
#

which is very depressing

little osprey
#

@stoic island Thanks for that. 2 questions then ill leave you alone - at the bottom its showing compatibility issues, are those warnings correct? Also is there an alternative for the RTX 3060 that would be good in case I cant find it available?

random galleon
#

Picture is ass, Thats the best one I could get

stoic island
#

extra 4 pin is nice to have for Intel

fossil halo
#

what is it coming out of

random galleon
stoic island
#

and the notes wise, the sharing port won't effect you

random galleon
#

Im not keen on technicalities so I cant really say, Hope that helps tho

mossy schooner
#

looks like a usb 3.1 @random galleon

fossil halo
#

wait tf

#

it worked

#

i jsut started realtek audio console and then it started working

#

i hate realtek

little osprey
#

@stoic island Thank you!

stoic island
#

:)

jagged ember
#

hey realtek gives you audio

#

don't be mad at them

mortal void
#

Canada Computers kinda sucks ass. They have stuff in stock but it's not for shipping

#

the hell

glacial umbra

they have a separate store for their online and physical locations

cole#1337 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

glacial umbra
#

damnit

#

all the good budget ryzen options are out of stock anyways, 3100, 3600

#

damn they even removed the 3300x from their website entirely

mortal void
#

they'll ship my PSU to Me, I think they'll ship my GPU but it's on backorder only. But my fans, and MOBO aren't available for shipping

glacial umbra
#

can you do curbside pickup or are the physical locations too far?

mortal void
#

and Vuugo doesn't seem like a good site from what people say about it

blazing aurora
#

do I need a pcie wifi adapter or can I get a reeeally long ethernet cable instead?

mortal void
#

definitely too far

glacial umbra
#

ah

mortal void
#

if my city didn't suck for PC shops it would be better

#

Memory Express is the best we got

glacial umbra
#

yeah that always sucks

#

memory express doesn't have your mobo?

mortal void
#

sort of the only thing we got actually

glacial umbra
#

they're usually decent

#

you'll probably just have to wait for CC's online store to get restockdd

mortal void
#

they don't have alot of the good mobos I want

glacial umbra
#

oh weird they're usually decent, atleast where I am

mortal void
#

currently have ASRock b550m pro4 on my build. Its the best board for what I need. (shout out to Mr1111)

glacial umbra
#

that's the one you're getting?

mortal void
#

I plan on it

#

everything I'm doing is Future planning really. Don't have the money I need, and don't see myself getting it anytime soon

#

but hey I like PC's

#

and it's a good time killer messing around with PCPP

glacial umbra
#

why not grab it off newegg or something?

#

yeah I did the same before I got a majority of my parts

#

now I'm searching for the final part which is the cpu

mortal void
#

mobo is from Newegg currently

glacial umbra
#

but it's hard with the out of stock stuff though

mortal void
#

but it's $180 full price

glacial umbra
#

really?

mortal void
#

yeah

#

it's on sale for like $140 right now I think

glacial umbra
#

ah that makes sense

#

newegg is pretty bad pricing wise

little osprey
#

@south geode eyyy same case

glacial umbra
#

atleast for Canada

worldly pagoda
little osprey
mortal void
#

everything seems that way

worldly pagoda
#

I already have a case with a cpu cooler

amazon and newegg are basically the same for pricing, atleast non-marketplace seller wise

little osprey

@worldly pagoda Missing a case

little osprey

Deepcool Genome is my case

@austere condor Looking pretty nice still, dunno if you'll get a cheaper z390 board, and you could go for a 20$ gammaxx 400

glacial umbra
#

nice that's a decent first build

#

or is it not your first?

#

I'm doing my first soon and it's much lower end lol

little osprey
#

@worldly pagoda nvme drive. Recommended for OS

#

Much faster load times

worldly pagoda
#

What is an nvme drive?

austere condor
#

im trying to find something for like $70ish, lol @stoic island

stoic island
#

@little osprey not much faster than SSD

mortal void
little osprey
#

@stoic island for OS load times?

glacial umbra
#

you can get a sata ssd as well

stoic island
#

Oh fair, but like 80-some board $ is fairly cheap

#

Yes

glacial umbra
#

nice

stoic island
#

@little osprey look up any testing for OS load times

glacial umbra
#

I'm gonna be building my first once I get the cpu

stoic island
#

NVMe vs SATA SSD load time difference is minimal

little osprey
#

Hmm

worldly pagoda
#

Is it cheaper?

little osprey
#

Not much

frozen junco

Curious why this is, my PC when starting after it is shut down will have a white light on the VRAM light, if i restart it goes off. The computer is working just fine though. Why does this happen??
Motherboard is Asus b550 plus

formal cosmos

guys

#

will i be able to put my gpu on the top slot? if the ssd thing is right there

languid nimbus
#

Yeah you should be fine

jagged ember
#

Weird pen

#

But it's fine

formal cosmos
#

ok

#

thanks

#

so the gpu will block the ssd?

jagged ember
#

Clearance isn't an issue there, neither is heat disappation in any meaningful way

#

GPU will be over the ssd

formal cosmos
#

ok

#

thank you guys

jagged ember
#

But you won't need direct access to the ssd normally anyways

languid nimbus
#

And if you do, taking a gpu out is extremely simple

formal cosmos
jagged ember
#

Gl with 3060

formal cosmos
#

if failed almost every time

#

lol

languid nimbus
#

Nice case but dang its expensive lol

jagged ember
#

When are you building?

formal cosmos
#

it’s just out of stock rn

languid nimbus
#

Ah gotcha, was gonna say don’t pay that much for it lol

formal cosmos
jagged ember
#

Just keep an eye on the 3600 pricing

formal cosmos
#

yeah

jagged ember
#

Very fluctuatey

#

And check of mp34 is cheaper than sn750

#

are you trying to get a 30 series card?

jagged ember
#

I'm just waiting lol

#

Gotta RMA my 2070S

languid nimbus
#

I got 3080

formal cosmos
#

nice

jagged ember
#

Maybe I get a 3000 series due to lack of 2000 series

languid nimbus
#

You just gotta consistently check, stay on top of it, follow update on Twitter and stuff

keen zealot
#

From where?

formal cosmos
#

i’m in these 2 discord servers that notify me when they restock on 30 series cards

keen zealot
#

I have the 3070, but would like to eventually get a 3080 when I can

formal cosmos
#

lucky

Do you really need a 3080 then tho

verbal quarry
#

hey i got a rx 550 with a 1700 and im looking to upgrade the gpu

#

my budget is $200

next kestrel
#

you should either look in the used market or wait

#

because gpu doesnt exist haha

verbal quarry
#

im looking in the used section

#

i just dont know what the ryzen 7 1700 can take

next kestrel
#

around 1070 or 1660 super range

verbal quarry
#

would i have to upgrade my psu?

#

i believe its a 450w

#

sorry a 300w

next kestrel
#

uhh 300w is a bit pushing it

#

i'd prob get a new one

verbal quarry
#

so a 500w?

next kestrel
#

anything above that yes

verbal quarry
#

ok so a psu upgrade to a 550w and look for a 1070 or a 1660 super

#

thank you

next kestrel
#

if you can get around 250 ish, you might even be able to find some 1080s at that range

verbal quarry
#

oh cool ok ill have to look around for that

little osprey
#

should i wait for 3080 ti or just get the 3080

verbal quarry
#

i wouldnt know the cost or the performance for the 3080 ti

#

if you want you can wait till someone drops benchmarks and decide

sage agate
#

Just get the 3080

#

Thats what I would do

#

I was able to get a 6800xt. Ik that doesn't rly help much. But itwkrks great and is a good alternative

little osprey
#

apparently 3080ti is going to have 20gb be $500 less than the 3090

sage agate
#

Oop

verbal quarry
#

thats the prediction

sage agate

Idk man they are all great cards. Im building my secondary rig with a 3090

will i need a fan controller for my new pc. my mobo is a aorus b550 pro ax and i have 3 fans and 2 aio fans?

#

i think the aio fans are daisychainable tho

sage agate
#

I have one. I think you may want one. But not sure???

uneven mist
#

what one u recommend?

#

corsair?

sage agate
#

What brand fans u have?

uneven mist
#

well to ek aio fans and 3 phanteo fans with the case

#

#

its my first build im mainly worried about all the psu cables and the aio mounting

#

well not psu cables just all the diff drgb argb and those cables

sage agate
#

Yeah

#

That was my higgest wprry as well. It all went well

uneven mist
#

but im excited bc im gonna have a r5 5600x

sage agate
#

A fan controller is going to kina centralize all of ur fan cables. It may help the cable management problem. Id go corsair just because they are a good brand

aight

I still have my first machine it has a 5500xt in it

Oml

sage agate
#

I got it

wanton cliff
#

It doesn’t stand out as much until you realize what your PFP is

sage agate
#

Im shook

jagged ember
wanton cliff
#

Anyways what GPU should I get for HL:A on an Index? Got a 5700XT right now and it is suffering

jagged ember
#

Any new gpu

#

Current gen

wanton cliff
#

Yeah lol but which one

#

Hard to choose

jagged ember
#

Whatever you can get?

sage agate
#

Go all in. 6800xt or a 3070, 80, or 90

jagged ember
#

3060 is already a 2080

wanton cliff
#

How much VRAM does the 3060Ti have?

jagged ember
#

so you're not losing either way

#

I can't remember lmao

sage agate
#

Yeah

jagged ember
#

Wow, what happened to me

sage agate
#

8 gigs

wanton cliff
#

Only 8 gigs

jagged ember
#

Yeah that's it

wanton cliff
#

Yeah

sage agate
#

Wow. My old 5500xt has 8 gigs

jagged ember
#

8 gigs is plenty

wanton cliff
#

RX 580 had 8 gigs

sage agate
#

True

jagged ember
#

That card still goes strong

sage agate
#

True

wanton cliff
#

8 gigs isn’t a lot for VR gaming, especially with better headsets

sage agate
#

I own one. An rx 580 that is. Not using it tho

#

True

jagged ember
#

Eh idk about VR specs

#

I don't have a VR

wanton cliff
#

My games crash sometimes because they use too much VRAM on an Index

little osprey
#

@sage agate I would not recommend a 580 for vr

wanton cliff
#

Especially Pavlov on higher quality maps

sage agate
#

Ur gonna need a bare minimum of 8 even for oculus quest using the link cable. Forget about nicer headsets

wanton cliff
sage agate
wanton cliff
#

Something else that is

little osprey
#

Ahh ok, sorry. Mustve misread

#

My bad

sage agate
#

iz good

wanton cliff
#

We were talking about VRAM amounts

#

And how the 580 had a lot for its time

#

Then again, Radeon tends to have a decent amount of VRAM. I mean, look at the Big Navi/RDNA2 cards

#

16 gigs GDDR6

sage agate
#

Yeah. I have a bin of parts and idk what to do with it. Sell it. Keep it. Idkkkkk???

wanton cliff
#

Keep it until they are antiques

sage agate
#

Ik. Amd is amazing when it comes to vram

#

Some of them are

#

Already

wanton cliff
#

Or sell the 580 and things like that for 200+ dollars on eBay and get a Quest 2 and try some VR

#

Great experience

#

Gonna need a Link Cable and/or WiFi 6 for streaming to your PC with the Quest 2

sage agate
#

I have apiece of the apple 1 board

wanton cliff
#

Oh damn

#

That old thing?

sage agate
#

I got a quest two

wanton cliff
#

Oh nice

sage agate
#

Mhm.

wanton cliff
#

Got WiFi 6?

sage agate
#

Yes sir

wanton cliff
#

Virtual Desktop?

sage agate
#

No

#

Should I get one

#

???

wanton cliff
#

It’s an app on Steam

#

Like $20

#

Lets you use your Quest as a SteamVR headset

sage agate

how do i know what bios version comes with my motherboard

wanton cliff
#

What did you say (minus the no no word)

frigid zinc
#

i went into asus but i cant find anything

wanton cliff
#

What board

frigid zinc
#

the mother is b450

wanton cliff
#

Strix?

sage agate
#

Sorry. Subconscious thing. My b. I apologize.

frigid zinc
#

Asus Prime B450m-a

#

no

sage agate
#

"done"

wanton cliff
#

Never used the board but most asus boards show BIOS version in bottom right of bios is I remember correctly

frigid zinc
#

is there any other option to see

wanton cliff
#

Just open it and search the screen

#

Or you can download the ASUS Aura software and it should say

#

You can update it from there too, I believe

#

Don’t quote me tho

sage agate
#

Consider urself not quoted

wanton cliff
#

Did you download virtual desktop?

frigid zinc
#

uh

#

idk what that is

sage agate
#

Yes

#

I did

frigid zinc
#

ima check asus page hold on

wanton cliff
#

Now download VRChat and watch your GPU suffer

#

Or set up the oculus I guess, although idk how to do that

sage agate
#

Lol. What suffrage.

#

Sheds gpu shaped tear

#

Idk what suffering is

#

Gpu explodes

wanton cliff
#

Yeah

#

The amount of insanely high poly characters in VRChat I swear

#

It’s honestly crazy

frigid zinc
#

also

wanton cliff
#

Also?

frigid zinc
#

is it good to have the latest bios

wanton cliff
#

Sure

frigid zinc
#

or just have the one compatible to ur components

wanton cliff
#

Especially if you plan to upgrade CPU

frigid zinc
#

o

#

ok

sage agate
#

Ok so in the pc I use for ve. I have a massive case. With a custom water cooling system and in every available spot I have a fan. In every single available spot

wanton cliff
#

Ok

#

ve?

sage agate
#

Vr

wanton cliff
#

Ah

sage agate
#

It needs all the help it can get

wanton cliff
#

A 7710 will work on a B450 regardless of bios version

sage agate
#

True

wanton cliff
#

For example

frigid zinc
#

oh

#

ok

sage agate
#

Anyways

wanton cliff
#

Anyways

sage agate
#

Idk what to do next. Ive built multiple pcs, have 3d printers, etc... Have a full in home music studio, have a full model train layout.

#

What now

wanton cliff
#

Build another PC

sage agate
#

This sis the problem. Is now I have nothing to do

#

But whatd i use it for?

wanton cliff
#

VR, since you only have a 5600XT

#

Or was it a 5500?

#

Or make a tech YouTube channel, and credit me for giving you the idea

sage agate
#

2060

#

Ive been thinking about that

wanton cliff
#

2060 is lesser than a 5700XT, which I have, and I suffer in Half Life

#

But that’s about the only game

#

5700XT is comparable to a 2060s if I remember correctly

sage agate
#

Yeah. I need a vr upgrade. Alright 5700xt maybe coming soon. Unless u have any other redcommendations

wanton cliff
#

What cpu do you have?

sage agate
#

Ryzen 9 3900x

wanton cliff
#

Oh you’ll be fine

#

You said your cooling was good

sage agate
#

Very

wanton cliff
#

Mobo doesn’t really matter much

#

How much RAM?

sage agate
#

64 gigs

wanton cliff
#

Damn

#

And you only have a 2060 super?

sage agate
#

Excessive ik

#

Shamefully

#

Yes

wanton cliff
#

Bruh get a 3080 or something idk

#

2060 is the only thing in that build that is lacking

#

For VR

sage agate

I’ve been in this jacuzzi browsing discord for nearly an hour

#

That can’t be healthy

sage agate

alright I need to get out now for the sake of my health

And that, Anon, is a very boring story that you just read

wanton cliff
#

There, now it’s actually kinda sentimental

#

A little bit

#

I need to get back on topic before i get banned

sage agate
#

Maybe. Idk

Anyone know of to fix audio not working in games but in googl

sage agate

Thats walk. U wearing a headset?

wanton cliff

I asked my friend that

#

And he said he was

#

But he said it happens in all games

sage agate
#

Try updating audio drivers. Ik that sounds wack. But try it

wanton cliff
#

Check to see, in Control Panel, if the audio devices are allowed to be used exclusively by a single app

#

And disable other audio devices that aren’t being used

#

That causes problems too

I’m so happy I could finally know what y’all are talking about half the damn time

sage agate
#

Fun

#

Understanding is always good

#

Without understanding there id nothing

wanton cliff

Oh dang 7 minutes and that little was said

#

That being said, that convo I had with my mom was only 7 minutes?

I need to start taking my meds again

sage agate

Same dog

#

Although

#

Ok so remember that Linus video with the super massive case that was like 1 out of 100 or something like that

wanton cliff
#

And the Mac Pro?

#

Yeah

sage agate
#

My friend got one and he doesn't want it anymore. I asked him id I could have it and he said yes

wispy oar
#

Is this where i can ask questions about troubleshooting my conputer?

wanton cliff
#

Yes

sage agate
#

From the compensator 3 build

#

Shoot

wanton cliff
#

Technically you can ask in any channel on this server but this is the main one

wispy oar
#

Okay

sage agate
#

Oh boy

#

Long question?

wispy oar
#

I got a brand new amd ryzen 7 3700x and upgraded it from my amd ryzen 5 2400g and i installed it onto my tomahawk B450 motherboard and when i booted it up it was working and pulled up windows on only one monitor then went to like a lit up black screen and whenever i start it it goes back to the lit up black screen or a windows troubleshoot screen which does nothing. I tried to replace ram in different slots with different amounts, i tried to take out my motherboard battery, and i tried to put in my old cpu and i had the same issue where it starts up for like 15-20 seconds and i can see my desktop with all my files then goes to a lit up black screen

wanton cliff
#

Oh my

wispy oar
#

Yeah

wanton cliff
#

Try flashing your bios first I guess

wispy oar
#

Ive been trying to google stuff and watch videos for like 4 hours now and i have no clue whats wrong

wanton cliff
#

Wait

sage agate
#

I

wanton cliff
#

Did you update drivers?

sage agate
#

Wow

wanton cliff
#

Graphics drivers that is

sage agate
#

Make sure to have driverssss

wispy oar
#

Can i update drivers from a black screen

muted patio
#

What motherboard?

wanton cliff
#

Uhhh

wispy oar
#

Its my first time installing a cpu sorry if im not knowledgeable

wanton cliff
#

Tomahawk B450 he said

wispy oar
#

Yes

muted patio
#

Tomahawk B450?

wispy oar
#

My fans are on and everything

#

Yes

muted patio
#

How old is it?

wispy oar
#

Like 10 days old

#

Maybe not even that

wanton cliff
#

Just got a new phone, still got to get used to this keyboard. Sorry for typos

#

Make sure BIOS is on latest version???

muted patio
#

SO you put in the 2400 for a couple days then the 3700x?

#

boot back into the BIOS and get the BIOS version number please.

wispy oar
#

Well i upgraded my motherboard from some old one about a week ago and now im upgrading my cpu from my old one

#

Okay

muted patio
#

Wait

#

Did you do a fresh Windows installation?

#

Or just pop in the new hardware and go?

wispy oar
#

Pop it in

muted patio
#

Ye

#

That's your problem

#

Gonna need another PC and a USB stick most likely

#

Need to download a program called DDU

#

EIther install it on your machine or put it on a flash stick

wanton cliff
#

Fresh BIOS? Fresh BIOS.

muted patio
#

Boot into Windows Safe mode

wanton cliff
#

And DDU

muted patio
#

Run DDU and check ALL THE BOXES, then Clean and restart

#

Doesn't need a BIOS update

#

Just DDU and fresh driver installation

wispy oar
#

Ok

muted patio
#

It says Graphics drivers but check EVERY BOX, it will remove all the mobo drivers too

#

Then do a fresh driver installation

#

Should be fixed after that

wispy oar
#

Can i do that without seeing the windows page?

muted patio
#

No, which is why I said you might need another PC so you can download it to a USB drive

#

Should be able to get to WIndows 10 Safe Mode though

#

ON your machine

wispy oar
#

Okay

muted patio
#

If you can't, we can explore other options. The last resort is a nuke and pave or install Windows again on a different drive

#

Never, ever, just pop new hardware into Windows 10 like that. Gotta uninstall all the old stuff first, then put in new hardware. 🙂

jagged ember
#

So use the tool you gave above

muted patio
#

If you can't get to Windows 10 Safe mode, might have to make a new Windows 10 Installation Media on another PC and use that to get to Safe Mode. This might be a bit rough

wispy oar
#

My version is also E7C02AMS.3A2 if that even matters at this point

muted patio
#

I'll check it 🙂

wispy oar
#

Also can i uninstall the stuff from the msi click bios 5 menu

#

Also thanks for all the help

muted patio
#

YW. I'm not familiar with the MSI CLick Bios so I can't answer that

#

BIOS is fine for 3700x though

wispy oar
#

Okay i will just try to get into safe mode

muted patio
#

After you get the DDU program, yes

little osprey
#

i have xtm50 thermal paste from corsair is it good or should i buy something else?

muted patio
#

It'll be fine

fluid cosmos
#

Best ram for Rog strix B550-F and ryzen 7 5800x ?

wispy oar
#

I check all of these boxes right?

muted patio
#

Everything but the bottom two boxes

#

NOT the Advanced Options

wispy oar
#

Do i press clean and restart now?

muted patio
#

Yes

#

After that is done, download all new motherboard drivers and install those first, then the GPU drivers. Don't forget to grab AMD Ryzen master for the CPU and chipset drivers

wispy oar
#

And i get those on the websites right?

muted patio
#

Stand by

wispy oar
#

Its doing the black screen again should i not have removed the flash drive?

muted patio
#

oof

#

Second thought, have you tried a different video output on your video card?

wispy oar
#

It looks like hooking it up to the internet goes to black screen

#

As soon as i hook up the internet it waits like 15 seconds then goes black

wind silo
#

Uh so I’m in need for help and I really don’t know what to do with this thing happening

I BUILT MY FIRST PC TODAY 🙂

raw crane
#

Can all aRGB run by one software? Or do each companies make their own software that you have to use in order to customise the lights?

muted patio
#

Depends on where it's plugged in. Plugged into your motherboard, one software can run it all. Plugged into your AIO, you'll need that software, etc

raw crane
#

Oohhh thank you soooooooo much !!

#

I heard of iCue, can that run on any aRGB?

muted patio
#

That's specific to Corsair products.

severe axle
#

@raw crane icue is for corsair products, and I think it supports some nvidia fe and asus stuff

muted patio
#

So, you'll need the software from your motherboard manufacturer

#

IE, Asrock, ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, etc

raw crane
#

Oh okay, that makes sense

#

Gracias I understand way more

muted patio
#

👍

wispy oar
#

Hey vintage how do i check video output on my video card?

muted patio
#

It either works with a monitor or doesn't, for the most part

#

Try a different port if you can

#

ALmost seems like it's switching outputs

#

Or shutting itself down

#

Most of the time that's a driver issue from popping in new hardware and not removing old software/drivers

#

Especially right after you boot into windows

wispy oar
#

It also turns off everything in the usb ports when the black screen pops up

#

And the second monitor doesnt even recognize that its plugged in

#

But i know its not bricked because i can get into it from the troubleshoot menu in safe mode

muted patio
#

So, safe mode works fine

#

You can sit there forever with no issues?

wispy oar
#

I sat there for a while on the ddu program figuring it out but with no internet connected to it

muted patio
#

And no shutdown

#

Which means it's something installed in Windows

wispy oar
#

No shutdown

muted patio
#

DDU should have nuked everything

#

Hmmm

#

lemme try something else

wispy oar
#

Well it restarts then boots up normally then when i go in and plug in internet it just pulls up black screen

muted patio
#

"Plug in internet"

#

Ethernet cable?

wispy oar
#

Ethernet

#

Yeah sorry

muted patio
#

Hmmm

raw crane
#

What is the point of having 2 GPU’s?

muted patio
#

Can you try that in Safe mode?

#

Safe mode with Networking?

wispy oar
#

I will

raw crane
#

Does it make graphics better?

wispy oar
#

One second

muted patio
#

it used to

#

It's not really a thing anymore, no games use SLI

#

or Crossfire

raw crane
#

SLI? Linus just said “we are getting good SLI utilisation” right when you said that but what is that

#

I think it was intended for AI stuff

The only new card that even offers it is the 3090

#

maybe the 3080? Can't remember

raw crane
#

Gotchya

#

Gracias

wispy oar
#

okay im on safe mode with networking

muted patio
#

And it's working?

wispy oar
#

its been good for about a minute

#

yes

#

should i install those drivers nowe

muted patio
#

Hmmm. This is an odd one. Safe mode means the drivers aren't loaded

#

Yes, install of them

wispy oar
#

okay

muted patio
#

maybe the old one is bad

wispy oar
#

and idk if its worth mentioning but i had to install the latest bios on a flash drive because i didnt know i had to before installing the new cpu

#

but this problem with the black was happening before

#

thats why i had to do it from a flash drive

#

sorry about this being so long btw i am an idiot when it comes to pc's

#

I'm gonna go ahead and say yes. They are all marked for different purposes and they are all relatively recent. I'd assume you'll want to update em all

Ok, so I was scanning the build pics and I see a lot of front mounted radiators with the tubes up top. I thought it was universally agreed upon that tubes went to the bottom. Am I wrong?

#

Asking, because I am about to put one in and for spacing, it would be great to have tubes up top, as bottom oriented will be tight.

muted patio
#

no, you're right

#

Tubes on the bottom

#

honestly, top mount AIO best, keeps the pump flooded

hollow grail
#

tubes on bottom master race

#

my aio has tubes on top keeeek

narrow shore
#

Ideally, but not possible for me. custom enclosure, top will be a lid

hollow grail
#

owo

narrow shore
#

Awesome. Thanks for confirming.

muted patio
#

Just be vigilant with temps. Tubes up top can lead to issues down the road.

narrow shore
#

I seriously considered trying the diy hack of replacing my AIO tubing with longer ones...but seemed wrong since its brand new

muted patio
#

Yeah, don't do that lol

#

Larger tubes may provide more flow but also less pressure

narrow shore
#

was thinking longer, same diameter

muted patio
#

Same diameter would be fine but refilling AIO's is honestly a PITA

narrow shore
#

Yeah, the video's made it look pretty annoying

muted patio
#

Cuz it is 😉

narrow shore
#

submerge and everything. Would be nice to be able to route the tubing better, but probably not worth the hassle

not with an AIO, no

What cpu

tame copper
#

Can someone help me? I’m building a pc for my friend right now. The motherboard receives powers as seen by the led lights on the board, however no matter how much I try the front panel connector area doesn’t work, I’ve tried to plug them in and hit power. I’ve tried starting it using a screwdriver. When the PSU is turned on the MOBO lights up but fans don’t spin on the front panel, the gpu or the AIO. What do I do?

#

I basically can't get the system to boot, the motherboard gets power and everything but nothing else seems too.

frozen junco
#

@tame copper o am guessing you have plugged in all the psu cables

tame copper
#

Should I just restart? Take everything apart and putting it all back together?

Anyone know where I can get replacement fans for my video card?

I have the GV-N970WF3OC-4GD

And the frount panel connectors

#

Yep, 24 pin for MOBO, CPU power, GPU, fans as well.

frozen junco

So you get fan spin

tame copper
#

No.

#

No fans in the whole system spin.

frozen junco

Make sure the frount panel connectors are in right

Yep, I also tried to boot it with a screwdriver by grounding it.

The AIO fans don't spin, the front panel doesnt spin.

#

Is cpu power plugged in?

tame copper
#

But the MOBO gets power as seen by it lighting up.

#

Yes.

#

Ok

#

Huh

I hear 34" makes some games look wonky as well as pixels won't look better.... so I figured a 27" is good but im unsure if that can fit 2 tabs with no issues
i imagine i have a 22" currently

I use 27 inch its fine

Depends on resolution really

For 16:9, non-ultrawide,
24in is best for 1080p, 27in for 1440p, and 32in for 2560p
