[muted patio]

Ye

I'm an ASUS fan but they tend to not have it in the lower end mobos

Gigabyte is another brand that has it on a lot of them

[little osprey]

Ooo

Kk thanks I’ll go check those out

when i buy new mobo im going asus cuz no other stupid company wants to support their crap in corsair iCUE

I’m finally buying the parts I need but slowly bc I can’t buy everything all at once rn and prices are nuts

[muted patio]

The VRM on the TUF is really really good

[little osprey]

Oop

The mobo is next to buy so I’m double checking rn

[muted patio]

👍

[grim fern]

a corsair 450w psu is bad for a 2060 right?

[muted patio]

Mmmm, that's at the lower end

Depends on other things too

if it's a quality unit, might be fine

[little osprey]

sounds like the c edition stuff

seeing its 450w

[muted patio]

Got a model number?

[grim fern]

for the gpu?

[muted patio]

power supply

Like, CX450M or just CX450?

[grim fern]

450m

[muted patio]

Gray label? Not green?

[north cloak]

Do you guys think my asus tuf x570 plus mobo will be good with my ryzen 7 3700x

[muted patio]

Absolutely

I have one

It's good

[north cloak]

You have the mobo?

[muted patio]

That exact combo, TBH

[north cloak]

Ok that’s good to hear

[muted patio]

Well, I have the TUF WiFI but same same

[grim fern]

?

[muted patio]

Power supply

[north cloak]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/82rfVc

Here’s my list

Just making sure everything is ok

Even though I already ordered everything lmaoo

[north cloak]

Oh ok nice....what cpu do you have

[muted patio]

3700x

[north cloak]

nice

[muted patio]

Losing out on some performance with teh 3200 ram vs 3600

[north cloak]

yeah I got the too it should be good

[stoic island]

@grim fern There are 2 different versions of CXm, gray label is newer, green older

[north cloak]

Oh I thought I did get the 3600

[muted patio]

That list says 3200

[north cloak]

Ohh THATS the wrong build

[muted patio]

XD

[north cloak]

Ignore that

[grim fern]

ah, i got the gr(a/e)y one

[stoic island]

Good

[muted patio]

Yeah, should be fine TBH

[rocky ocean]

What’s the difference between the CX and RM 750x?

[stoic island]

CX is a good bit worse than RMx

[little osprey]

bronze vs gold iirc?

titanium

and stuff with x/i on the end are more supported on iCUE

[muted patio]

Worse being a relative term

[rocky ocean]

And the RM 750x is enough to power my 3080 correct?

[muted patio]

Yes

[stoic island]

Yes

[rocky ocean]

Sweet

[little osprey]

The only titanium PSUs corsair makes are generally AX

and are 200+$

[stoic island]

It's relatively worse in terms of like ripple suppression, protections, and like hold up time

[north cloak]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xq94PV here is the list @muted patio

[muted patio]

Mmm

Word to the wise

Factory AMD cooler is better than the 212

I know, I had both

*have both

[north cloak]

Just Didnt include the gpu I’m existing for the 3060

[muted patio]

And use an AIO now

cancel that 212

and use the stock cooler or something different

[sinful hornet]

Which and stock?

*amd

[muted patio]

Wraith Prism with heat pipes

[north cloak]

Here is the right list https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xq94PV

[sinful hornet]

Ahh ok

[muted patio]

Again, get rid of the Hyper 212

It's no better or slightly worse than the factory provided 3700x cooler

[little osprey]

Buy an h100i platinum at best buy

like 120$

[north cloak]

Oh really?

[muted patio]

Yes

I have both

[sinful hornet]

Was considering actually buying a prism just cause it’s one of the cheaper, best looking coolers

[little osprey]

since you're already buying corsair stuff

[muted patio]

Tested both

[north cloak]

rip I already ordered it

[muted patio]

Return it lol

[sinful hornet]

Got a gammax gt instead

[north cloak]

so should I not put it on

[muted patio]

I wouldn't

Stock cooler performed a few degrees better actually

[north cloak]

is it worse than the one it comes right

*with

Damn ok

I got it bc some ppl said the stock was bad

[muted patio]

SOME AMD stocks are bad

[north cloak]

Does the rest of the build look good though

[muted patio]

Not the one for 3700x/3800x

[little osprey]

ie the stealth

[muted patio]

Ye, looks fine

[north cloak]

ok good

[keen zealot]

Not pictured: Phanteks p500a RGB case, LG 27GL850 monitor

Wish me luck

[north cloak]

You have the hyper 212?

[little osprey]

If you want to use the 212 u can put another fan on it

[muted patio]

P500A! mine gets here tomorrow 🙂

I have the 212 yes

Tried dual fans, it was meh

[north cloak]

Good luck man tell me how it goes bc I’m building my first one too

[north cloak]

Did you take it off

[muted patio]

My vert GPU bracket for it got here today -_-

Yes

Put the stock back on

Then got an AIO

Because I push my CPU a little bit

If you're stock, stock cooler is honestly goood

[north cloak]

Damnn how did you get the 3070 @keen zealot

[little osprey]

prism looks very nice with the AIO with backplate gpu

[north cloak]

Oh ok

[gleaming elk]

My pc wont boot and everything is plugged in

[keen zealot]

Will do, pulling up the Linus POV build vid now lmao

[north cloak]

haha nice I’m gonna do the same

Did you preorder the 3070 or jus get lucky @keen zealot

[orchid matrix]

take the psu cable out and out of the wall. put the cable back in the wall. then put the psu cable into the pc and turn it on

[gleaming elk]

Ok

[keen zealot]

Got lucky man

[north cloak]

Damnn nice...when did you get it?

First time they came out?

[orchid matrix]

it usually works for me

[north cloak]

or a restock

[keen zealot]

When they’re were launched, was my first part I bought

[north cloak]

aye nice

[keen zealot]

I wanted the 3080 but missed it

[north cloak]

Hopefully I’m able to get the 3060

[keen zealot]

Good luck dude!

[north cloak]

thanks!

[gleaming elk]

Its not working the fans spin an dlights come on but no display

[north cloak]

Is this your first build?

[keen zealot]

Yessir

[north cloak]

Yeah same

I’m scared haha

I should be fine though

[keen zealot]

Lmao I’ll let you know how it goes

[little osprey]

its alot easier than you think lol

[north cloak]

Alr good luck man

[north cloak]

Yeah hopefully lol

[orchid matrix]

hm. try maybe unplugging and replugging the monitor?

[keen zealot]

Yessir, can’t wait to bust it out of the box

[little osprey]

i was nervous with my mining rigs because i was handling thousands in gpus lol

[north cloak]

Do you guys think the Corsair 4000x is good

I think imma buy it

[north cloak]

Damnn

[gleaming elk]

Help im trying to boot my new pc but its not displaying

[little osprey]

any case is fine aslong as it has a mesh front panel and isn't nzxt

[north cloak]

Haha ok thanks

I think my case has a mesh front...

It should be fine

Yeah I’m glad I didn’t get the nzxt h510

[sinful hornet]

Do you know of any NZXT cases that have a mesh front? Lol

[north cloak]

Thankfully people told me it had bad airflow

[orchid matrix]

hows the airflow on H700i? Anyone know?

[gleaming elk]

@sacred obsidian could you help me my pc isnt booting but all cables are in and ligjts turn on and fans spin

[north cloak]

Is your monitor plugged in

[gleaming elk]

Yep

[north cloak]

is your psu turned on

The switch on it

[gleaming elk]

Yep

[north cloak]

Is your hdmi cable plugged into your graphics Card

And not mobo

[gleaming elk]

Yep

[north cloak]

well uh...

Is it turning on?

Or jus not displaying

on your monitor

[gleaming elk]

Not displaying anything

[north cloak]

But is it running?

[gleaming elk]

Yep

Im using all new parts amd storage

[north cloak]

Must be a problem with the monitor

does the monitor turn on

[fallen escarp]

is there a led screen?

[gleaming elk]

Led sxreen?

[north cloak]

Does the monitor turn on

[gleaming elk]

Yep it worls fine

[north cloak]

oh damn

I’m not sure then

maybe spam delete

And try to get into bios

So your pc runs fine it’s jus not displaying correct?

[raw crane]

What does 18-16-16-18 mean

I think it’s for ram but Idk

[little osprey]

ram timing

[raw crane]

Oh okay

The higher the number the better?

[little osprey]

lower

[gleaming elk]

Since its a new pc this is the first time im starting it up

Trying to install windows

[north cloak]

Yeah just waiting for my dad to get home and I think im gonna order the Corsair 4000x

Gonna do some more research though

[north cloak]

Did you download it onto a flash drive and stuff

[gleaming elk]

Yep

[north cloak]

Yeah I will

But that’s kind of confusing

Isn’t their a wall between the filter and fans

Yeah might me a problem then

I swear the cases that look the best have the most problems

I like the Corsair case better look wise but if it has that problem might jus go with the lian Li

Lancool mesh 2 is huge though

yeah...maybe that just happened over time

I’m sure you can order a magnetic dust filter off of Amazon

Oh damn really

I guess I’ll be on the look for cases again 😭

[little osprey]

why not just get the fractal

[north cloak]

?

[little osprey]

fractal design meshify c

[north cloak]

oh yeah

at that point who cares if the case is too big I’ll jus get the lian Li then

It can’t be that big

It’s still mid tower

I’ll let you know what I ended up going with

[muted patio]

Mid tower sizes range greatly

Jusst to let you know

[little osprey]

^

[north cloak]

yeah I like the fractal just not the design on the front lmao

[muted patio]

Ye, fractal makes some good stuff

So does Lian Li for that matter

Phanteks P360A/400

etc

[orchid matrix]

how much ram do I need for streaming?

[muted patio]

at least 16 GB

[north cloak]

Yeah I like the p360a

[orchid matrix]

would 32gb be overkill

[little osprey]

no

[muted patio]

no

[north cloak]

ok imma go look at more cases

I’ll tell u what I went with

[muted patio]

👍

Man, this Phanteks vertical GPU bracket is one of the nicest I've seen

90 degree ribbon cable, hella sturdy mount

Shielded

I'm impressed

I did, case will be here tomorrow

The phanteks one is quality for sure

[ripe wedge]

vertical mounts are for people who want to suffocate their gpu

[muted patio]

Depends on the size of your case

I just don't want my GPU over my chipset fan

Phanteks bracket only $30

I said why not

[ripe wedge]

I would v mount my gpu but I like to see my screen on my gpu

[muted patio]

4 Corsair ML140's and 3 120mm exhaust through my AIO

It won't get warm

Ye

Bequiet nice

NOctua's overpriced IMO. Corsair ML just fine

[steel tartan]

I’m just trying to get windows

[muted patio]

Insert USB drive, restart

You made a Windows boot disk, right?

[steel tartan]

Yes

[muted patio]

It doesn't come up if you just leave it in and restart?

Ah I see it now

Click the UEFI in the lower left corner

That'll boot you to windows

Well, some BIOS does that

[steel tartan]

So what do I do

I clicked it

Is it right

[muted patio]

Yeah, that one works a bit different

Escape out, Save and Restart

It should boot from the USB, it's first on the list

[steel tartan]

Ok I saved and exit

And I restarted

[muted patio]

Now just let it go, don't push anything

[steel tartan]

Ok it did what the yt vid said

[muted patio]

Which is?

Loading Windows?

[steel tartan]

Yea I said I don’t have my product key and clicked windows 10 pro

[muted patio]

Yeap

[steel tartan]

Now what

[muted patio]

Custom

[steel tartan]

Do I load drivers?

[muted patio]

For RAID? is that what it's asking?

[steel tartan]

To instal windows

[muted patio]

Does it say anything abut raid?

been a while since I've installed windows

[steel tartan]

No

[muted patio]

Go ahead then

[steel tartan]

Ok

[muted patio]

Keep in mind you'll need to go to your motherboard manufacturers website and get the drivers

after this is all done

AND GPU drivers

[steel tartan]

Ok

I don’t think I put my HDd in right

[tender field]

what good graphics card for streaming i have Asus Radeon RX 590 i been having problems

[muted patio]

nVidia

The GPU can do the video encoding while you stream

And your CPU can do game and Discord stuff

[little osprey]

RX 590 is good

Just use cpu for encoding

[muted patio]

:/

[tender field]

i did all that

@little osprey i show you

[muted patio]

Invest in a 1660 Super or something iMO

[gleaming elk]

Can someone help my pc wont post

[muted patio]

I gather your CPU is older as well

[hollow grail]

its literally not good if theyre having problems tho?

[gleaming elk]

Need to install windowz

*s

[little osprey]

Not worth

[hollow grail]

anything amd will be trash tier at any sort of encode

literal garbage

if you have an intel cpu you can try quicksync

[muted patio]

SO it won't boot or won't install windows?

[hollow grail]

honestly not sure if it works for streams but i cant imagine why it wouldnt

if you're all amd then youre basically out of luck

id advise getting a nvidia gpu next time, amd is awful for anything that isnt just rendering the game

[gleaming elk]

Im trying to install windows on a new m.2 and my pc wont boot

[muted patio]

Did you make a Windows 10 Install USB drive?

[gleaming elk]

Yep

[tender field]

i have CPU AMD Ryzen 7 3800X

[little osprey]

Stream with that!!

[muted patio]

In the BIOS, there should be an option to boot from USB/UEFI somewhere

You need that

Um

[gleaming elk]

Another problem is it wont display

[muted patio]

What's your internet speed Shadow?

[tender field]

it fast

[muted patio]

SO back up

Fans spin?

[gleaming elk]

Yep

[muted patio]

Motherboard lights on?

[gleaming elk]

Yep

[muted patio]

ANY motherboard LED's on?

[hollow grail]

cpu encode is rly bad tbh

[tender field]

i have gpu Asus Radeon RX 590

[gleaming elk]

Motherboard leds?

[little osprey]

Stream with x264

[muted patio]

Error LED's

Lights

ON the motherboard

[hollow grail]

you know theres a reason why gpus do video encode right?

[little osprey]

No

[hollow grail]

well good gpus that is

[hollow grail]

my entire use case for most of my systems is video encode

hush

[muted patio]

I get the feeling this is an internet speed issue

And not a streaming issue

[gleaming elk]

Would this be it

[muted patio]

Yes

Which light is that?

[little osprey]

X264 is good

[muted patio]

I can't read the text under it

[gleaming elk]

Cpu

[muted patio]

Ah

Something is wrong with your CPU

[hollow grail]

its a good codec yes

[gleaming elk]

But i checked it and no problem with pins

[muted patio]

OR the fan isn't plugged in

[mossy plaza]

bruh why is the amd Ryzen 5 5600x not coming back on sale

[muted patio]

to the right port

[gleaming elk]

Fan is spinning

[muted patio]

Well

It may not be on the right connector

[mossy plaza]

its taking forever :/

[muted patio]

Which one is it on?

[gleaming elk]

Cpu_fan

[little osprey]

Just get 3600XT

[muted patio]

Well

CPU light means there is an error with the CPU

[mossy plaza]

Is that better or worse?

[tender field]

@little osprey CPU AMD Ryzen 7 3800X
CPU Cooler Corsair H100i RGB
Motherboard Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Hero (WI-FI
Memory Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 64 GB
Storage Samsung 970 Pro 512 GB M.2
Storage Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1 TB M.2
Video Card Asus Radeon RX 590
Power Supply CORSAIR - CX-M Series 650W

[muted patio]

So it may not be installed correctly or have a bent pin

[hollow grail]

https://venturebeat.com/2018/10/15/nvenc-vs-x264-does-cpu-or-rtx-gpu-encoding-work-best-for-twitch/

[muted patio]

Shadow, what's your internet speed?

[gleaming elk]

I checked pins but nothing is wrong with them

[hollow grail]

but that doesnt mean cpu encode is good vs gpu

[muted patio]

Upload specifically?

[hollow grail]

https://testmy.net/

[muted patio]

What motherboard pls?

[hollow grail]

yeah just run this @tender field

upload speed test

[gleaming elk]

Msi b450 tomahawk max

[tame copper]

When using the display ports on my GPU (power color red dragon rx 5600xt) the screen has a red tint to it? This happened on one port, now it’s on 2 how do I fix this?

[muted patio]

What CPU?

[little osprey]

Nice rig

[gleaming elk]

Ryzen 5 2600

[muted patio]

Ok, no issues there, BRB grabbing manual

[gleaming elk]

Ok

[muted patio]

Ram is in slots A2 and B2?

[gleaming elk]

Yep

[mossy plaza]

for cpus in the memory types does it mean that it only supports up to 3200?

[hollow grail]

it means you shouldnt trust seller specs

also ships from china

[muted patio]

Do you have the 8 pin CPU power connector installed?

[mossy plaza]

ah

[gleaming elk]

Yep

[mossy plaza]

but what does it mean though?

for the memory types

[little osprey]

No

Because I know for a fact it does 3600

[mossy plaza]

then what does it mean?

[lyric thistle]

Actual memory spec

3600 is an overclock

[mossy plaza]

ohhhhhhhhh

ok\

[muted patio]

SO that LED means the CPU isn't detected or has failed

[mossy plaza]

gotcha

[muted patio]

Are you sure the CPU power connector is installed the right way?

I've seen people install them upside down

[mossy plaza]

should I maybe buy this?

https://www.newegg.com/amd-ryzen-5-3600xt-ryzen-5-3rd-gen/p/N82E16819113653?Description=Ryzen 5 3600XT&cm_re=Ryzen_5 3600XT-_-19-113-653-_-Product

[gleaming elk]

Yep its good

[little osprey]

Yes

[mossy plaza]

alright

lemme go ask my mom

thanks for the help

[little osprey]

haha

[muted patio]

Well, if that LED is on it means the CPU is defective

Is it new or secondhand?

[gleaming elk]

New

[hollow grail]

dont use the isp's speedtest

use the one i sent you

god

[gleaming elk]

I can try putting in a ryzen 3 3100

[muted patio]

That's also Download, not upload

[hollow grail]

https://testmy.net/

[muted patio]

If it's Sfinity, guaranteed it only 5 mbps up

Yes

Try the 3100

Since you have it

[muted patio]

Need the upload speed

[hollow grail]

[muted patio]

Xfinitity is going to be 5 mbps though

MAYBE 10

which will require some stream tweaking

[hollow grail]

xfinity uses coax for the most part

max 50

generally theres 300/15-30, 1000/35-50

[tender field]

@hollow grail

[muted patio]

Mmmm

Ye, 10 mbps

Your stream settings are probably set too high quality for your upload speed

[muted patio]

Download doesn't matter for streaming

Only upload

[hollow grail]

what resolution and bitrate do u stream at

is the real question here

[tender field]

1080 or 4k

i do don.t how to set up an you guys halp me tomorrw

i do don.t how to set up can you guys halp me tomorrw

[muted patio]

1080p

You can't stream 4K on that upload

[mossy plaza]

why does this

https://www.newegg.com/amd-ryzen-5-3600/p/N82E16819113569?Item=N82E16819113569

[tender field]

oh

[mossy plaza]

seems better then the Ryzen 5 3600XT

[little osprey]

It’s not

Better

[little osprey]

How does it seem better

[muted patio]

I mean

Main difference is a 100 mhz boost clock

300 mhz

[mossy plaza]

the operating frequency and price tag

[muted patio]

That's not the X

That's why

[tender fjord]

Can anyone help with a best possible computer I can get for 700

[glass coral]

Very nice

[brittle ore]

Hey im trying to get the front fans to bring in cold air, it feels like this is the correct way when I spin by hand but online says the opposite

[tender field]

@muted patio can you halp me tomorrw to set up obs

[little osprey]

it is

[muted patio]

If I'm around

I'll give you my settings

[little osprey]

@mossy plaza 3600XT has good silicon

Good for OCing

[tender fjord]

Does anyone know a good 700 usd pc

[stoic island]

o nice

[mossy plaza]

hmm alright

[tender field]

@muted patio i add you

[brittle ore]

On their site though it says the opposite; that the coolermaster logo side is the intake and the opposite blows out the air

[muted patio]

There's an arrow stamped on the fan

Find it

[severe axle]

@brittle ore yes, air is going towards you if you are looking at the X

[muted patio]

It'll tell you which way the air goes for sure

On the side

[mossy plaza]

will the 3600XT run vr?

[tender field]

can you add me

[severe axle]

preinstalled fan should be installed correctly though

[rocky wadi]

I am obligated to say that my setup and PC are vouched by Newegg

[hollow grail]

[little osprey]

Like a champ

[mossy plaza]

ayyy nicee

thanks

[steel tartan]

Ok now I can’t see my hdd in boot sequence

[tender fjord]

Can anyone help me the possible parts find parts for a 700 dollar pc

[gleaming elk]

@muted patio now the red light is on boot

[muted patio]

BIOS?

[grim fern]

i have thermal paste on my hands ._.

[gleaming elk]

Still no display

[muted patio]

Try a different port on the card

[tender field]

@muted patio i talk to you tomorrow

[gleaming elk]

I tried nothing changed

[steel tartan]

Does that mean my HDD is connected

[gleaming elk]

Nothung changed

@muted patio

[muted patio]

Take the USB out

Boot LED means the boot device failed

[gleaming elk]

I unplugged it and plugged it back in now the error lights gone

[muted patio]

Does this have an NVME?

[gleaming elk]

Whats that

Sounds familar but dont knoe

*w

[muted patio]

Tiny hard drive

Goes on the motherboard

[gleaming elk]

Like a m.2?

[muted patio]

Ye

[gleaming elk]

Thats what im using as storage

A 1tb one

[muted patio]

is it held down with a screw?

And a cover on it?

[gleaming elk]

Yep

[muted patio]

Which M.2?

[gleaming elk]

A intel one

[muted patio]

Which one exactly?

[gleaming elk]

A intel ssd 660p

1tb

*666p

[ripe wedge]

660p isnt too bad

[viral ore]

665p?

[ripe wedge]

its a decent game drive

[muted patio]

Ye but with boot LED on

[gleaming elk]

665

[muted patio]

might take it out

[slim escarp]

I shouldn’t be worried about the packages of parts sitting in the cold weather right

[stoic island]

666p lol

[viral ore]

665p better than 660p at least

[gleaming elk]

Ok

[viral ore]

should be good enough, i assume you bought it when it was only 90

[gleaming elk]

So take it out just confirming

[muted patio]

Yes

[hollow grail]

ew intel ssd

🤮

[gleaming elk]

Its out

[steel tartan]

So I have my HDD installed but won’t pop up so I can put windows on my pc

[gleaming elk]

@muted patio i took it out

[muted patio]

Try and boot

See if LED comes back

[gleaming elk]

It does

It comes back on

[muted patio]

Boot LED?

[gleaming elk]

Yep

[muted patio]

Take out USB

[gleaming elk]

Ok its out

[muted patio]

boot again?

[steel tartan]

I’m so lost

[gleaming elk]

Yep

Both the m.2 and the usb are out

And the boot led is on

[muted patio]

Any sata drives hooke dup?

[gleaming elk]

No

[hollow grail]

wtf

[steel tartan]

Yes if your talking to me

[hollow grail]

first off who the hell told you to get a 2.5in hdd

[muted patio]

So no drives connected AT ALL and still boot LED?

[gleaming elk]

Yep

[steel tartan]

I got the wrong one @hollow grail haha

[hollow grail]

well return it and get the right one

rn

[steel tartan]

😭

[hollow grail]

@ me when the new drive gets in

[gleaming elk]

Only things connected are graphics card ram and cpu

[hollow grail]

and if ur booting from it

please get a ssd

[muted patio]

Tried ALL the outputs on the video card and nothing?

[hollow grail]

hdd is only for mass storage

[muted patio]

You're SURE the monitor is set to the right input?

[steel tartan]

That’s more money I don’t have I just paid bills

[gleaming elk]

Yep

[ripe wedge]

at least get a 120gb ssd for boot

[hollow grail]

literally just save then

[steel tartan]

I’ve been waiting to get a pic and I’m getting told to wait I had to wait for my mother board for 2 weeks ahh

[hollow grail]

storage speed is 100% the biggest usability issue on computers

[gleaming elk]

Ive checked all inputs on monitor with all outputs from graphics card

[hollow grail]

trust me man

[gleaming elk]

And motherboard

[hollow grail]

return hdd and get a ssd or something

a 1tb hdd is like $50 or so

[steel tartan]

Are they at Walmart

[hollow grail]

https://www.newegg.com/team-group-mp34-512gb/p/N82E16820331308

this is 65

and is literally over 20x faster

[steel tartan]

I want it today tho

[hollow grail]

get a 970 evo from amazon and get prime shipping then

[steel tartan]

Ima just go to Best Buy

[hollow grail]

yeah whatever

thatll work

[gleaming elk]

@muted patio any ideas?

[hollow grail]

just ask for a samsung nvme ssd

and youll be set

[north cloak]

Ssds in the bag

[muted patio]

Clear CMOS and try again?

[north cloak]

Is it bad that I got a hdd

I have this 1 TB SSD plus the 2 TB hdd

[little osprey]

no its not bad

just put windows on the ssd tho

[gleaming elk]

How do i clear cmos

[north cloak]

Ok thanks

[naive tulip]

@rich helm how do i fix it?

[rich helm]

What’s wrong

With it

[north cloak]

Should my games go on the hdd?

[naive tulip]

When i turn it on it turns on all the fans turn on everything turns on for lime 5-10s then shuts off

[stoic island]

mp34 is good

Frequently accessed anything goes on SSD

[hollow grail]

generally every 500gb of ssd i tell ppl to get 2tb of rust

[naive tulip]

It doesnt show anything on my monitor either

[gleaming elk]

How do i clear cmos

[rich helm]

@naive tulip do you have graphics card

[north cloak]

so I should put windows and my main games on the SSD?

[north cloak]

lmfaoo ok

[hollow grail]

most played games on ssd other stuff on hdd

[north cloak]

ok thanks

[hollow grail]

just cause 4tb is like $20 more than 2tb

[ripe wedge]

mp34 has been around same price as SN750 and 970 Evo

[hollow grail]

[naive tulip]

Yes i have a 3070

[hollow grail]

yep theyre pulling a sabrent

[north cloak]

Lucky u got it

[north cloak]

Which one is better

[hollow grail]

good deal for a while but the big ppl are lowering prices

[hollow grail]

970 evo is the best ssd

[ripe wedge]

970 evo

[hollow grail]

then sn750

[north cloak]

Oh damn

[hollow grail]

then mp34

[ripe wedge]

sn750 then mp34

mp34 still good tho

[hollow grail]

mp34 is only good because cheap

[north cloak]

So I could have gotten the 970 evo for the same price?

[muted patio]

@gleaming elk Cleam CMOS

[gleaming elk]

How

[ripe wedge]

just about

[north cloak]

damnnn

[muted patio]

EIther use the jumper or take the battery out with PC unlplugged from the wall

The battery on the motherboard

Leave it out for a few minutes, then put back in

[north cloak]

These are the parts I have so far

[gleaming elk]

Ok

[hollow grail]

why 2 lol

[ripe wedge]

u making 2 pcs?

[little osprey]

2 cpus 1 gamer 🔥

[hollow grail]

lol ive done that

[north cloak]

Yeah making one for my brother too

[hollow grail]

didnt set up numa properly on the windows vm tho

[hollow grail]

imo the 212 is not good

[rich helm]

@naive tulip what cpu

[hollow grail]

and i dont like seagate

[ripe wedge]

212 better than stock cooler tho

[north cloak]

Lmfao nah one for my brother

[hollow grail]

but worse than like anything else u can get for that price

better than stock is only valid if its free

[ripe wedge]

212 evo is like $20

rn

[hollow grail]

the black rgb is like 30-40

[north cloak]

Yeah people have been telling me that....should I use the stock that comes with my ryzen 3700x?

[hollow grail]

which is whatthey have

[ripe wedge]

ah

[ripe wedge]

ya

[hollow grail]

u can get so much better for ur $

[little osprey]

i have 2 nvme slots in my mobo i was planning on a 500 gig 980 pro for the boot and 1 tb 970 for other stuff should i do that or just get another 970

[hollow grail]

honestly the ryzen stock coolers are so good

[hollow grail]

980 pro is really good

[north cloak]

damn I might just try the cooler then send it back

[hollow grail]

does your board do gen4?

[hollow grail]

dont try it lol

[north cloak]

It should do the job though

[hollow grail]

if u got it from not amazon

[north cloak]

Rip it’s gonna be hard sending it back from amazon

Ye I got it from amazon

[hollow grail]

amazon is fantastic for returns

i was worried u bought from newegg

theyre awful tbh

for returns

stock? no

[north cloak]

So should i buy another cooler or just the stock

[hollow grail]

do u plan on overclocking?

stock clocks is what i meant rommy btw

[north cloak]

Probably in the future not now though....I need to learn how to first lmao

[hollow grail]

then stock is fine

[north cloak]

Will the stock cooler do good with the 3060

[little osprey]

i think only 1 of the m.2 slots is gen 4 which is where i was gonna put the 980

[jagged ember]

You'll have another cooler for oc now tho

[hollow grail]

cpu cooler doesnt matter for gpu

[jagged ember]

When you get to it

[north cloak]

Ok

[hollow grail]

yep just making sure

[north cloak]

I gtg cya

[hollow grail]

if ur running gen3 on the board itll do the same @little osprey

so just making sure u could do 4

[jagged ember]

What is this not uwu

There we go

[hollow grail]

its a good setup but tbh 2 samsung drives is a bit overkill

[little osprey]

@hollow grail

[hollow grail]

although for the price its rly good

if it were me id just do a 1tb 980 pro and 4tb hdd

but if u need that speede

[bright furnace]

Just got this set up and it won’t start, any suggestions?

[gleaming elk]

@muted patio i cleared it but it still isnt displaying

[muted patio]

Boot LED still on?

[gleaming elk]

Nope

No light

[bright furnace]

Led and fan starts up and that’s it

[muted patio]

No light and fans spinning?

That's progress!

[gleaming elk]

Yep

Bur still no display sadly

[muted patio]

Change GPU connections with the PC still on, not gonna hurt anything

[gleaming elk]

[cloud oasis]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/791465170529812490/793431082984407080/1x.png

[wicked frigate]

Hey guys also what’s a good x570 board

[muted patio]

TUF x570 WiFi

[wicked frigate]

What else

Rgb

[stoic island]

x570 tomahawk

[wicked frigate]

Any other one ?

Is Meg ace or rig strix better

[muted patio]

Seems like you already have one in mind so....

[wicked frigate]

No

I am not good at these things I am new

[hollow grail]

then shut and listen to the people who r helping you

[wicked frigate]

Bro chill

Just wondering

[coarse coral]

be nice to each other

[hollow grail]

i am nice theo

@wicked frigate i say that out of love

[wicked frigate]

Ok

So which one is better

[hollow grail]

the tuf x570 is currently the best board for the price

[jagged ember]

This

[muted patio]

It also has a tiny bit of RGB

[wicked frigate]

I meant between the rog strix and Meg ace

[muted patio]

Why do you need $400 mobo?

[wicked frigate]

No

[hollow grail]

they dont

[jagged ember]

That's too much

[hollow grail]

[wicked frigate]

I can wait

[muted patio]

I mean, the point is, those boards are too expensive and unnecessary unless you're doing some heavy overclocking

[wicked frigate]

Than which one that looks nice and rgb

[hearty valve]

Does anyone know a good 850w psu?

[wicked frigate]

Rmx

[jagged ember]

Dude you gotta read mesages

[little osprey]

Evga 850 ga supernova

[jagged ember]

It's even got a bit of rgb

[wicked frigate]

Ok

Thx

[hollow grail]

motherboard rgb is cringe too

[jagged ember]

It do be

[hollow grail]

so many other things u can make glow

[jagged ember]

You never see it

[wicked frigate]

Also is 5600x with 3080 a good pair

Or should I get a better 5000 series

[hollow grail]

my board is rgb and i honestly couldnt care less

[jagged ember]

I turned it off lol

It serves literally no purpose

[wicked frigate]

I am getting a lian like o11 so o want to go al out

[jagged ember]

The parts are fine

[wicked frigate]

Ok

Thx

Cya

[jagged ember]

If you wanted to go all out go for like an a100 from Nvidia lmao

[muted patio]

Fan RGb drowns out mobo RGB

[jagged ember]

You need a grant for that

[hollow grail]

ive been trying to get one actually

[chrome arch]

@jagged ember is Ti worth it ?

[hollow grail]

thats not how it works

[obsidian wigeon]

[chrome arch]

When is bios update for Msi b550 a pro mobo for ryezen 5000 series

[north cloak]

hey guys do u think i should get the phanteks eclispe p360a or the lancool 2 mesh

[wanton cliff]

I’ve never built in either so idk

[wanton cliff]

It should be out already. Go to the MSI website and download it to a flash drive. Then go to BIOS and plug in the flash drive to update BIOS.

(There are a few more steps, which is why you should look up a YouTube video or something)

[wanton cliff]

And finally: hi lili. I have metamorphosed.

[hollow grail]

hi

u are

different now!!!

[wanton cliff]

Indeed

[hollow grail]

whatcha up to

[wanton cliff]

Not much

Helping someone who DMed me because they were afraid of getting yelled at by you

(They are having hard drive issues)

[hollow grail]

were they rly afraid

im nice smh

[chrome arch]

@wanton cliff bet

[hollow grail]

i told them not to use a laptop hdd as their only drive emh

guess im evil

[steel tartan]

Yes

[wanton cliff]

Hello Zero two

Alright so what’s happening exactly

Tell me the exact process of events when you push that power button

[steel tartan]

My pc turns on fans start to spin and my screen is black

[wanton cliff]

Are you on the right input?

[steel tartan]

Yea

I got it

It just popped up

[wanton cliff]

Ok

Pictures please

[wanton cliff]

Perfect

Continue through the process until you have any questions

Then come back here

[steel tartan]

There nothing

[jagged ember]

Load driver

[steel tartan]

Ok?

[jagged ember]

Yeah it should be fibe

Go

[wanton cliff]

And have a good Zero-Tuesday

[jagged ember]

USB stick should have everything in it

[wanton cliff]

Yeah

[jagged ember]

Or not

[steel tartan]

But I downloaded it ahhh

[wanton cliff]

Odd

Is it asking for USB drivers?

[steel tartan]

Should I use a different stick

Just drivers

[wanton cliff]

No

I think it’s asking what disk to install it on

[wanton cliff]

Check that your HDD is plugged in correctly

[jagged ember]

Yeah,I'd check if the drive is detected in bios

[steel tartan]

It is

That’s why I’m confused

[wanton cliff]

Huh

Wideus, can you go into a VC with them?

I would but V O I C E D Y S P H O R I A

PogChamp

[hollow grail]

[steel tartan]

Yea and 3.0

[wanton cliff]

They have an RX 580 so that’s the era we are dealing with

[hollow grail]

can you try to use the 2.0 port please?

[steel tartan]

Ok

[wanton cliff]

What mobo is it exactly?

[flat heath]

Lol

[hollow grail]

sometimes windows doesnt like installing off of a 3.0 drive

[flat heath]

Mither board

[hollow grail]

and wont see any storage

and can we confirm that your drive is plugged in correctly as well?

[flat heath]

Motherboard

[hollow grail]

when you go into the bios, does the drive show up?

[flat heath]

Well aculy idk but i think
